A two-month drug investigation has led to the arrest of four people, and the seizure of more than 1.4 kg of drugs and various guns.
Police believe there are links to a notorious and violent Vancou-ver-based gang. At the centre of this in-vestigation is Cory James Lesperance, 29, who police believe to be a member of the Red Scorpions gang.
Three others — Robin Joseph Stew-art, 52, Nicholas David James White, 21, and Amber McLeod, 23 — were ar-rested in a joint three-city raid by Red Deer RCMP, Calgary Police, Airdrie RCMP and the Alberta Law Enforce-ment Response Team on Wednesday. Warrants were executed on residences in Airdrie, Calgary and Red Deer.
Stewart and Lesperance were ar-rested at a residence in the Balmoral Heights subdivision, just east of Red Deer. The residence is the same one where a triple shooting occurred in March 2013. White and McLeod were arrested at a residence in Calgary.
“We conducted this investigation to address the drug trafficking activities of the Red Scorpions and their pres-ence in Southern and Central Alber-ta,” said Red Deer RCMP Cpl. Sarah Knelsen, during a press conference on Monday at the downtown detachment.
Lesperance, originally from British Columbia, was the primary target of the investigation.
“He is alleged to be a member of the Red Scorpions and is alleged to be the centre of a drug trafficking operation in Alberta,” said Knelsen.
Initiated by the Red Deer RCMP Street Team in June, other enforce-ment teams were brought on board to expedite the investigation.

EDMONTON — The Alberta gov-ernment acknowledged Monday that it broke its promise to freeze salaries for top managers and has instead given them seven per cent raises.
That will boost salaries for top civil servants to more than $300,000 a year by 2016.
Government spokeswoman Jessica Jacobs-Mino said while the govern-ment promised in 2013 to freeze sala-ries for three years, things changed this spring when the government struck a deal with the Alberta Union of Provincial Employees.
That deal provides an $1,850 lump-sum payment and a 6.75 per cent salary increase over three years.
Jacobs-Mino said the government’s standard practice has been to give the same deal to managers as that given to unionized staff.
“We’re looking at treating all public servants fairly here,” said Jacobs-Mi-no. “It’s crass politics to try to pit one level of public servant against another.
“We value them all.”The government was not legally
bound to boost the salaries of senior managers, but “it’s consistent with what we’ve done in the past,” she said.
The union represents rank-and-file employees from prison guards to social workers. It ratified a new contract last month after more than a year of bitter debate with and court action against the province.

GANG: Members in Alberta for past two years
Staff Sgt. Martin Schiavetta said Lesperance has ties to the lower mainland area of B.C., where the Red Scorpions gang started.
“Demonstrated by the weapons seized, it is clear these individuals were willing and able to resort to violence,” said Schiavetta. “This should be a relief to people in these communities that these individuals are in custody.
“The reality is many of B.C.’s gang members are coming to Alberta to escape violence and threats of violence because in gang life, there are only three ways out — death, jail or the long arduous task of ex-iting the game,” said Schiavetta.
“We believe this particular gang has had members in Alberta for the past two years.”
Schiavetta said gangs see Alberta as a lucrative market for the expansion because of the amount of disposable income here.
“We had individuals residing in Calgary using Airdrie as a place where they would stash firearms and drugs and then subsequently would bring those commodities up to Red Deer for distribution,” said Schiavetta, adding their information was that most of the drugs were coming from B.C.
“We believe there are other individuals associ-ated to this gang and we’re going through our intelli-gence and our investigation to look at any other pos-sible avenues of investigation for additional people.”
Among the items police found at the three resi-dences were 512 grams of methamphetamine, 517 grams of cocaine, 52 grams of heroin, 264 grams of marijuana, 80 grams of psilocybin (magic mush-rooms), 130 ml of anabolic steroids, a cocaine con-version lab, scales, packaging, drug paraphernalia, a loaded semi-automatic handgun, a stolen shotgun with ammunition, three replica handguns, $8,955 in cash and two vehicles.
“I think this is a significant dent in this organiza-tion,” said Schiavetta. “This is what they had at the present time when the search warrants were execut-ed. It’s a snapshot into their daily activity.”
Lesperance was charged with five counts of pos-session for the purpose of trafficking, possession of a firearm without a licence, possession of stolen prop-erty over $5,000, possession of a prohibited weapon
and five counts of breaching an undertaking or re-cognizance.
Stewart was charged with five counts of posses-sion for the purpose of trafficking, breach of an undertaking or recognizance, possession of stolen property over $5,000 and possession of a prohibited firearm.
White has been charged with three counts of pos-session for the purpose of trafficking, possession of stolen property over $5,000, and two counts of
breaching an undertaking or recognizance.McLeod has been charged with three counts of
possession for the purpose of trafficking and posses-sion of stolen property over $5,000.
All four will appear in Red Deer provincial court on Thursday morning.
Both Lesperance and White have preliminary in-quiries scheduled for Jan. 27, 2015, on charges from a November 2013 arrest. That investigation, conducted by both Innisfail and Red Deer RCMP, led to arrests made in both communities. They both face drug and gun-related charges. Both were released from cus-tody on recognizance orders with strict conditions, including weapons prohibitions.
Lesperance and Stewart were arrested on Wednesday at 55 Balmoral Heights.
Two other people were arrested after the March 2013 triple shooting at that same location in an in-cident that police are not relating to Wednesday’s arrests. Those two people have a continuation of a preliminary inquiry scheduled for November.

The Red Scorpions gang started in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia. According to Red Deer RCMP, the re-cent arrest of a local man, who they believe to be a mem-ber, indicates the gang has spread into Alberta.
The gang has a long history, centred around a gang war in Vancouver.
The following is a brief timeline of their activities:● 2000 — The gang is founded by several Lower Main-
land residents while they are incarcerated together in a youth detention facility.
● 2006 — The Bacon brothers partner with the Red Scorpions. Jarrod Bacon was charged with attempted mur-der, but the charge was stayed after the victim refused to testify. The Bacon brothers, Jarrod, Jamie and Jonathan, were believed to once have been members of the UN, a rival gang operating in B.C. They all eventually assume leadership roles with the Red Scorpions.
● 2006 — Jonathan Bacon is shot and wounded in the driveway of his parents’ home in Abbostford, B.C.
● October 2007 — Six men — including two bystand-ers — are killed in a high-rise condo in Surrey, B.C. Crown
prosecutors allege the Red Scorpions gang plotted to kill a rival drug trafficker.
● 2007 — As part of a plea bargain, Jonathan Bacon delivers an arsenal of 114 sticks of dynamite, a grenade, seven handguns, two shotguns, a rifle and an Uzi subma-chine gun to Abbotsford RCMP.
● New Year’s 2008 — Jonathan Bacon is the target of a gangland hit, but survives because of the Kevlar armour he was wearing.
● May 2009 — Jarrod Bacon is arrested on weapons charges. He is convicted on Feb. 2, 2012, and is serving a seven-year sentence.
● September 2009 — The B.C. Integrated Gang Task Force issues a warning that anyone associated with the Bacon brothers could be marked for death by rival crimi-nals.
● Aug. 14, 2011 — Jonathan Bacon is murdered by gunfire outside the Delta Grand Hotel in Kelowna, B.C.
● 2012 — Alberta Law Enforcement Response Team officials believe the Red Scorpions begin making inroads into the Alberta drug trade.

Sentencing delayed for man who crashed pickup through wall
in Sylvan LakeBY BRENDA KOSSOWAN
ADVOCATE STAFF
Sentencing has been adjourned until Thursday for a Three Hills man who admits to causing the crash that wrecked a utility building, broke a gas line and forced a brief evacuation in Sylvan Lake this year.
A portion of the town centre had to be evacuated at about 5 a.m. on March 22, when a pickup truck smashed through the cinderblock wall and came to rest inside the Telus building at the corner of 50th Avenue and 50th Street.
Later in the morning, police were contacted by a young man who said his truck had been stolen.
Tracks in the snow and bits of skin collected from inside the windshield on the passenger side of the truck told a different story, Judge David Plosz heard in Red Deer provincial court on Monday.
Police investigating claims that the truck was sto-len found sufficient evidence to charge truck owner Thomas James Hanger, 22, with a series of offences, including dangerous driving causing bodily harm, public mischief, leaving the scene of a collision and driving without insurance.
Represented by Red Deer defence counsel Dana Carlson, Hanger pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of dangerous driving and to public mischief, and then the rest of the charges were withdrawn.
Crown prosecutor Rob Clark, based in Wetaski-win, said Hanger confessed to the crash after police confronted him with evidence from the scene.

SALARY: Leadershipcandidates object to wage hike
Under former premier Alison Redford, the gov-ernment stripped the union of its right to arbitration and passed a law imposing an austere wage deal to help balance the budget.
That law was put on hold by a judge and ulti-mately rendered moot when a negotiated deal was reached.
To show it was serious in keeping salaries lean, the province also announced in February 2013 that it would freeze the salaries of all top managers.
“Our government is leading by example,” Finance Minister Doug Horner said in a news release at the time.
But the Opposition Wildrose party on Mon-day revealed documents showing that cabinet quietly approved the senior manager pay in-creases last week.
No government news release was issued.
The deal also increas-es pay for leaders of foreign trade offices, in-cluding former MLA and one time Progressive Conservative leadership candidate Gary Mar.
The latest government annual report shows Albertans paid more than $560,000 in pay and benefits last year for Mar’s work in Hong Kong as Alberta’s trade repre-sentative.
Wildrose finance critic Rob Anderson said the decision puts to rest any notion that the cul-ture of entitlement that has plagued the Tory government was all Red-ford’s fault.
“It’s just the blatant dishonesty,” said Ander-son.
“How many times do they think they can just flat out lie to Albertans about what they’re going to do, and that Albertans are just going to forget about it?”
AUPE president Guy Smith said the decision is ironic given that “the same people who sat across the bargaining table from us, who tried to legislate wage freezes and strip us of our right to arbitration ... have now taken the same wage deal they fought to keep from their own front-line staff.”
The PC party is currently in a leadership race. A vote for a new leader and premier is in September.
Candidate Jim Prentice, a former Calgary MP and federal cabinet minister, said he’ll reinstate the freeze should he become premier.
“I do not support lifting a legislated wage freeze for government management after just over one year, without a comprehensive review of government ap-pointments,” Prentice said in a news release.
Candidate Thomas Lukaszuk said he would push forward with his review of executive salaries with an eye to moving them down.
“Government could clearly have said no (to the
seven per cent hike). It’s not a negotiated deal,” said Lukaszuk, who left the Alberta cabinet to run for the leadership.
Ric McIver, another candidate who also left the cabinet to run, said he is “very disappointed” by the wage hike.
“When you make a promise, you keep it,” said McIver.
Fighting a culture of entitlement is a central plank in the platforms of all three candidates.
Redford was found to have used untold amounts of government money to finance activities to benefit herself and her inner circle. She resigned in March ahead of a caucus and party revolt over her spend-ing.
NDP critic Deron Biolous said the deal illustrates the inherent pay imbalance under the Tories.
“This is truly a tale of two Albertas, with one set of rules for PC insiders and another for middle-class families,” said Bilous in a statement.

Saskatchewan movie set cafe serves up chili dogs and allegedly stolen truck
BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
ROLEAU, Sask. — The backdrop for the former television show and soon-to-be movie Corner Gas has played a role in the long-range police pursuit of a ve-hicle across southern Saskatchewan.
Weyburn city police tried Saturday to stop a pick-up truck reported stolen from Calgary and tagged with a stolen Manitoba licence plate.
After an extensive search of a highway and sev-eral side roads, the pickup was found abandoned next to the “The Ruby” cafe at the Corner Gas set in Roleau, where a 27-year-old woman from Okotoks, Alta., was arrested nearby.
Stephanie Martens was to appear in a Regina courtroom on charges that include impaired driving and flight from police.

against the owner of a dog that bit a seven-year-old boy and caused serious injuries to his face.
A spokesman for animal and bylaw services says the department received a call last Thursday that a child has been bitten by a two-year-old Labrador cross.

CALGARY — Organizers of a pilot project say the very factors that pose challenges for people with au-tism could be qualities that help them excel in the information technology sector.
The project in Calgary aims to train and find jobs for individuals with autism to carry out software test-ing as well as to oversee quality assurance and data verification.
The federal government recently allocated $150,000 to the Sinneave Family Foundation and Au-tism Calgary’s not-for-profit organization, Meticulon, for the project.
“At the moment, only about 20 per cent of indi-viduals who have autism spectrum disorder are em-ployed. We think in the next 10 years we can double that number,” said Tom Collins, president of the Sin-neave Foundation.
“We look for people who are comfortable with repetitive types of tasks, who have a real attention for detail, individuals who are comfortable doing the same thing and being very precise about it.
“If you and I do data entry all day long, we have about a four to five per cent error rate. Someone on the spectrum with the kinds of skills we need will have a negligible error rate.”
“People with autism, many have precise atten-tion to detail and the ability to focus for much longer periods of time,” added Dr. Margaret Clarke, senior vice-president and scientific adviser for the Sin-neave Foundation.
Autism disorders are characterized by social and communication difficulties, stereotyped or repeti-tive behaviours and interests and, in some cases, cognitive delays.
The Western Economic Diversification office pre-dicts that by 2016 Canadian employers will need to hire some 106,000 IT workers.
That’s expected to pose a significant recruitment challenge.
Information technology is the application of com-puters and telecommunications equipment to store, retrieve and transmit data, often in the context of a business or other enterprise.
Software company Mobility Quotient, which pro-duces apps such as JustWine for wine enthusiasts, has hired one of the Meticulon students to punch in data about wine-tasting events.
It can be tedious work, but CEO Nikhil Sonpal said the employee does her job to a T.
“She doesn’t travel. She’s uncomfortable travel-ling, but she says she goes on a vacation every time she goes to work, because she can look at these dif-ferent places that she would never go to that have these wine events,” Sonpal said.
“She’s excited every time she comes to work. I don’t believe in labels. Words don’t matter to me. It’s results.”
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that one in 68 children in communities in the United States were identified with autism spec-trum disorder in 2013.
The report said the disorder is almost five times more common among boys than girls.
The pilot project is scheduled to last for one year.
COURT: Driver drinkingbefore crash
That evidence included footprints that matched the shoes he was wearing and biological evidence from the face of a friend who hit the windshield.
Investigators interviewed the injured man earlier and noted abrasions on his face consistent with the evidence from the truck, said Clark.
Reading an agreed statement of facts, he said Hanger and three friends were drinking before the crash and that Hanger was driving around town, deliberately fishtailing his truck. He spun out of con-trol while northbound on 50th Street, said Clark.
A gas line outside the Telus building ruptured when the truck hit the wall, requiring an evacuation of the immediate area until crews were able to shut off supply lines.
Clark recommended a sentence of one year on probation plus a one-year driving suspension and restitution for damages to the Telus building, total-ling $26,417.30.
Carlson did not dispute the recommendation, stat-ing that his client is willing to make restitution but will need a considerable amount of time to come up with the money.
Plosz refused to pass sentence, however, because Hanger had not yet surrendered his operator’s li-cence and was not able to produce it in court on Monday.
Plosz adjourned the matter until Thursday, saying he would not pass sentence until the licence was sur-rendered in court.

A couple of years ago, journalists connected to WikiLeaks revealed a trove of information on hundreds of wealthy Canadians who may (or may not) be hiding piles of cash in offshore bank accounts in order to evade paying their taxes.
Unti l that public revela-tion, the Canada Revenue Agen-cy did not act on the leak, be-cause they did not have the in-formation. They did not have the information be-cause, unlike its American and European coun-terparts, the CRA at the time did not pay for information.
Well, now they do. And that must make it easier for the agency to go af-ter waitresses who don’t declare their tips or day labourers who work on con-struction sites for cash.
The millionaires with their fortunes in Zurich or the Caribbean? There’s been some tough talk but so far, not a whole lot of recovery reported. A CBC News story — about a year old now — noted the CRA had discovered about $22.4 million in unpaid taxes due from offshore accounts, and recovered about $8 million.
Peanuts. But that’s what the CRA likes best.
In a much-heralded campaign in January, the CRA did an aggressive au-dit of restaurant workers in St. Catha-rines, Ont. After dragging who knows how many servers through the wringer, the CRA found — gasp! — $1.7 million in unreported gratuities!
At the tax rate paid by your aver-age waiter, that means the CRA would recover about $255,000, plus penalties. A few probably also lost their GST re-funds designed for low-income Cana-dians.
Well, that experience ought to keep Canada’s wait staff honest.
You’d hope the government would make good use of the $8 million they dragged out of the offshore accounts of wealthy people.
Eight million happens to be the sum the Harper government gave the CRA’s charity auditors so non-profit advo-cates for the poor, for the environment and for human rights would just shut up.
Since the charity audit campaign became public, and scholars began
writing papers on its effects, news is trickling out from charities dealing with the demands of the CRA auditors.
Oxfam Canada was told they could not use their funds raised to “prevent” poverty in Africa, because as the CRA pointed out, millionaires could get to-gether to find ways to prevent them-selves from becoming poor.
The CRA, with its non-use of infor-mation on offshore tax evasion, would likely know a thing or two about that.
PEN Canada, the national arm of a global association of writers and jour-nalists dedicated to freedom of speech, is also under audit. They are accused of using free speech as a political tool. Which is not a charitable activity in Stephen Harper’s Canada.
PEN, as you may recall, criticized the federal government for putting
a muzzle on its scientists who do re-search on things like the environmen-tal effects of energy exploration. Can’t have all that science going public, can we?
As with its experience with rich off-shore tax evaders, the supposedly non-partisan CRA also seems to know a thing or two about using its funds for political purposes.
Edward Jackson, a professor at Car-leton University, wrote in a recent blog that the CRA “has lost its way.” What used to be a politically-neutral enforc-er of tax law has become a political arm of government, which can be used to punish enemies.
His article, which you can look up and read for yourself, is titled: Why the CRA is no longer an effective instrument of public policy. Jackson says Canadians
should be taking out memberships in and making donations to PEN and oth-er non-profits undergoing these spe-cial audits.
He says we should also be contrib-uting to a fund to launch a court chal-lenge to the whole program, as it has been rolled out.
The CRA maintained in a recent re-lease that its audit targets are not po-litically selected. It just looks that way.
Appearances are all the government needs to create the chill required, so that nobody dares question their poli-cies or actions, unless the critics’ re-sources are government-deep.

Stop the crow cacophonyoutside my window each morning
Red Deer could well change its name to Black Crow.
You used to wake up in the morning, very early mind you, and be charmed by little birds flitting to and fro and singing morning songs.
Now all you hear are the malevolent caws of crows and the nagging of magpies. No morning chorus is present.
To me, this is not a healthy balance, but what can one do?
Is there even an answer? Are there any naturalists out there who can give their input on this situation?

River Bend owes customersapology over coupon book
Re: Andrew Gilchrist’s letter to the editor on Tuesday, July 22.
I have golfed regularly at River Bend since 1989, and as a pass holder for a number of years after I retired. Along with several of my golfing buddies, I have chosen not to golf regularly there any longer. The golf course is a terrific layout and is in beautiful condition this year! So it is not because of the course that we have gone elsewhere.
I agree with the concerns expressed in Jane White’s letter to the editor (July 18), as I had the same unfortunate experiences regarding the Tee-Off Coupon Book. My friends and I were even told rather heatedly by the director of golf that if we had con-cerns, we should address them to the company that published the book! Having spent a career working with and training not-for-profit boards, I believe that
an organization is ultimately responsible for adver-tising using their logo. If this coupon book went out without their approval, it surely is not the customers’ responsibility.
The coupon book concern is only one of many is-sues. Gilchrist’s comprehensive letter provides some examples of why River Bend’s reputation is suffering measurably. He defends the organization throughout, while strongly questioning the perspectives of his customers! Everything is someone else’s responsibil-ity. He professes excellence in customer service, but wishing does not make it so. The letter does not seek to build good will with customers.
● Where is the apology to customers who have been misled by the coupon mix-up?
● Where are the assurances that this oversight on the printed information will be corrected and will not happen again?
● Where is the thanks to a customer for express-ing her concerns?
● Where is the wish that she will return for a posi-tive River Bend golf experience?
These omissions clearly demonstrate that Gil-christ and his senior staff have created an organiza-tional culture that is not customer-centred. Many of the staff (not all!), from senior staff to the clubhouse workers to the on-course marshals and the course maintenance staff, seem to not fully understand their roles in supporting positive golf experiences for their customers.
Until considerable effort is dedicated to building a strong culture of customer service, in an increas-ingly competitive golf market, a fine facility will con-tinue to lose support.
The society board and the City of Red Deer would be wise to monitor this operation with care.
I intended to follow Gilchrist’s invitation to send this letter to the River Bend Golf and Recreation So-ciety Board as stipulated in Policy 4.2, but the web-site provides no mailing address or email address to communicate directly with the board. Instead, I have sent it to Dianne Wintjes, city council representative to the board.

Thanks for variety of ideasto start my day
What’s your favourite part of the Advocate? I like to start my day with a variety of food for thought, along with my coffee and toast, then finish with a bit of dessert, the comic strips.
On Saturday, it’s gotta be Hay’s Daze and Fun and Games.
But I never miss Comment! This is the section that gives me insight into the opinions and beliefs of peo-ple in my community ... Red Deer, Alberta, Canada and the world.
It gives me perspective and helps me broaden my own views. It helps me grow and, hopefully, gain some wisdom.
I may not agree with the positions of some con-tributors, especially in Letters to the Editor, but I respect the right to speak freely and the courage to do so in a public forum.
I may have a prejudice against a writer from the Toronto Star (that Liberal rag) or very persuasive local writers who simply “know” the inconvenient truth that the world is black and white with no shades of grey nor rainbow hues.
Or those who accuse others of cherry-picking facts while conveniently omitting crucial facts that would give a balanced view.
Years ago, as a member of the Canadian Federa-tion of Independent Business, I regularly received surveys on important issues of the day.
The methodology was to clearly state the issue, then present three strong arguments for and three strong arguments against. It was always a difficult choice.
So, thanks to the following who keep the debate going, honest, checked and balanced: Canadian Tax-payers’ Federation, Greg Neiman, Bill Greenwood, Evan Bedford, Tim Harper, David Crane, Gwynne Dyer, Keith Norman Wyatt, Jim Swan, Will Ver-boven, Doug Firby, etc.

INSIGHT
CANADA REVENUE AGENCY IS DABBLING IN POLITICS — AND THAT’S DANGEROUS
BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
A spokesman for Prime Minister Stephen Harper dismisses accusa-tions from the opposition parties and others that the government is eras-ing the late feminist icon Therese Casgrain from Canada’s pub-lic history.
Carl Vallee called the ac-cusations “ri-d i c u l o u s , ” pointing to a revised citi-zenship study guide — Dis-cover Canada — that for the first time included men-tion of Casgrain.
The guide, launched in 2009 and updated in 2011, has a section on the women’s suffrage movement that in-cludes a sentence on Casgrain’s activ-ism, which helped Quebec women win the right to vote in 1940.
The Canadian Press reported this week that a volunteer award named for Casgrain in 1982 was abruptly elim-inated in 2010, unannounced, to be re-placed by the Prime Minister’s Volun-teer Awards in 2011.
Casgrain’s granddaughter, Michele Nadeau, said the cancellation was made without consulting the family or a Casgrain foundation she heads in Montreal. New Democrat MP Niki Ash-ton called on the government to revive the award, saying its demise reflects Harper’s frequent attacks on women’s
rights. “He took out a feminist icon and replaced her with himself,” she said.
“It’s deeply symbolic. It’s emblem-atic of Harper’s approach to women’s equality.” Ashton said the brief ref-erence to Casgrain in the citizenship guide is no substitute for the volunteer award honour.
S t e p h a n e Dion, a Que-bec Liberal M P , a l s o called for re-instatement of the Casgrain award, saying the substitute prime minis-ter’s award is “insulting” to
the memory of a pioneer in women’s rights. Dion said the way the Casgrain award was ended, without an an-nouncement, is typical of the Harper’s government’s penchant for secrecy.
“You do it openly and explain why,” he said in an interview.
A spokeswoman for Employment Minister Jason Kenney, whose de-partment is responsible for admin-istering volunteer awards, said the program was changed to broaden eligible recipients to include busi-nesses and not-for-profit groups, as well as individuals.
The Casgrain award recognized two individuals, while the Prime Minister’s Volunteer Awards recognize 17 indi-viduals or organizations.
Alexandra Fortier said that two of the five new categories “maintain the spirit and the objectives of the Cas-
grain award.”She also suggested there was fading
interest in the Casgrain award in its fi-nal two years, with only 52 nominations in 2008 and 69 in 2009, its last year.
The first year of the new Prime Min-ister’s Volunteer Awards in 2011 at-
tracted 751 nominations.The Canadian Press reported ear-
lier this month that the number of nominations for the prime minister’s award has fallen sharply since, to 482 in the second year and 315 in the cur-rent third year.

Judge impressed with live tweeting
HALIFAX — A top judge in Nova Scotia says he is surprised at the positive impact live-tweeting inside the courtroom has had after the province’s judiciary recently re-laxed the rules on the use of Twitter in the courts.
Chief Justice Joseph Kennedy of the Nova Scotia Supreme Court allowed reporters to live-tweet proceedings during the trial of Lyle Howe, a Halifax lawyer convicted of sexual as-sault.
“I couldn’t get over how well it had worked,” Kennedy said in an in-terview, describing it as the closest thing to gavel-to-gavel coverage he has seen.
New guidelines gov-erning the use of elec-tronic devices in the courtroom came into effect in Nova Scotia on May 15, allowing communication such as tweeting and texting for any purpose, including publication, in most courts, unless other-wise banned by the pre-siding judge.
The policy places restrictions on tweet-ing from youth, men-tal health and family courts, and do not af-fect statutory publica-tion bans, including revealing the identity of youths or sexual as-sault victims.
Stolen pendant containing ashes
returnedEDMONTON — The
parents of a nine-year-old boy killed in a plane crash in 2013 say they are thankful some-one returned a stolen cross necklace that holds the ashes of their child.
David and Crystal Pentecost just moved to Edmonton from Mani-toba three weeks ago.
Earlier this month a man broke into their pickup truck and stole the necklace and loose change.
The necklace is a cre-mation pendant, which contains Dawson Pente-cost’s remains in a gold and silver cross with five crystals, and hangs on a silver chain.
Police say someone who wishes to remain anonymous turned in the pendant, which was damaged, and is to be re-paired by an Edmonton funeral home at no cost to the family.

VOLUNTEER AWARD NAMED FOR CASGRAIN ABRUPTLY ELIMINATED, REPLACED BY THE PRIME MINISTER’S VOLUNTEER AWARDS
CANADABRIEFS
BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — For years, the feder-al and provincial governments have known members of a northern Ontario First Nation suffered from mercury poisoning but failed to provide ade-quate compensation or health care, band members said Monday.
The Grassy Narrow First Nation said it has obtained an unreleased gov-ernment report that found there is “no doubt” people in the community of roughly 1,600 near Kenora, Ont., suf-fered from mercury-related neurologi-cal disorders — something the band said officials have never formally ac-knowledged.
“The government has been sitting on this report since 2009,” Grassy Nar-rows Chief Roger Fobister Sr. said in a news conference in Toronto.
Meanwhile, the Mercury Disability Board, which includes both levels of government, “continues to overlook the sick people of Grassy Narrows,” Fobister said.
The report was commissioned by the board, which administers com-pensation for those whose health suf-fered as a result of mercury poisoning. The board could not immediately be reached for comment.
A spokesman for the Ontario Minis-try of Aboriginal Affairs said members of Grassy Narrows sit on the board and would have reviewed the report when it was presented in 2010. The board also held an open house in the commu-nity to discuss the report, Scott Cavan said.
Both provincial and federal govern-ments said they continue to work to address the issue of mercury contami-nation.
A spokeswoman for Aboriginal Af-fairs and Northern Development Can-
ada said Ottawa has contributed more than $9 million in compensation to Grassy Narrows and Wabaseemoong First Nations for economic and social development initiatives.
Critics nonetheless called for the report to be publicly released.
“A coverup involving the poisoning of an entire community is not some-thing you expect to hear about here in Ontario,” NDP Aboriginal Affairs critic Sarah Campbell said in a state-ment.
“The government owes it to res-idents to release any information they have about the issue, and to take concrete steps to address ongo-ing health, nutrition and environ-mental issues stemming from the industrial waste.”
Water around Grassy Narrows has been contaminated with mercury since a local paper mill dumped an estimat-ed 10 tonnes of neurotoxins into the system between 1962 and 1970.
Grassy Narrows and the Waba-seemoong Independent Nations nego-tiated an out-of-court settlement with Ottawa, the province and two paper companies in the 1980s. The board was created as part of the settlement.
The report compared the board’s decisions in several cases with diag-noses made by Japanese experts on Minamata disease, a neurological syn-drome caused by mercury poisoning, who examined the community between 1975 and 2004.
It found the board recognized only 38 per cent of the cases identified by the experts, noting the discrepancies “are due to different criteria used for evaluations.”
“The approach used by the Mercury Disability Board to assess whether or not an applicant has signs or symptoms consistent with mercury poisoning was designed based on the state of science
and knowledge of the impact of mer-cury on human health in the 1980s,” it reads.
Judy Da Silva, a Grassy Narrows member and activist, said people are being turned away by the board and forced to file appeals, only to remain unsuccessful.
“Everyone should have gotten auto-matic compensation forever,” she said. “For us to go and beg for pennies is ridiculous.”
The band is calling for the govern-
ment to formally apologize for allow-ing its people to suffer from mercury poisoning and step up compensation and care.
It also wants the government to clean up the water and block clearcut-ting projects that could exacerbate the situation.
The province established a mercury working group more than a year ago, but Da Silva, who is part of the group, said progress has stalled without par-ticipation from Ottawa.

First Nation: scope of mercury poisoning played down
MountainID changed after questions about
new $10 bill
THE CANADIAN PRESS
The Bank of Canada is making a molehill out of a mountain.
The central bank had claimed that its new plastic $10 bank notes included an image of majestic Mount Edith Cavell, a prominent peak in the Canadian Rockies south of Jasper.
But a sharp-eyed pro-fessor in Toronto, who had hiked the mountain with his family, thought something was amiss when the image matched neither his memory nor his photos.
Hitesh Doshi contact-ed the Bank of Canada by email last November, shortly after the new $10 notes were released, to say something was amiss. He kept getting the run-around until last week.
T h a t ’ s w h e n t h e central bank quietly changed its website, re-moving Mount Edith Cavell and several other peaks from its official description of the back of the $10 bank note, re-placing them with some other peaks.
It also sent Doshi a short email, finally ac-knowledging the error.
“One of the memo-rable things for me in Alberta was visiting (Mount) Edith Cavell,” he said of a visit with his family. “To us, it was a very memorable trip.”
But when he later examined the $10 bank note, “the peak was not there,” said Doshi, a pro-fessor of architecture at Ryerson University and a new Canadian. “That’s where the whole thing started.”
Doshi contacted a mountaineer based in Edmonton , Eric Coulthard, who noticed some other discrepan-cies.
For one, there was a misidentified image of Mount Zengel, which the bank claimed was the Palisade and Pyramid mountains.
“ H e r e c o g n i z e d Zengel right off the bat,” said Doshi, who sent the bank some more unan-swered emails.
Eight months after Doshi’s original inqui-ries, the Bank of Canada finally removed Mount Edith Cavell and Mount Marmot from its website description of the upper left image of the moun-tains, saying they’re ac-tually Lectern Peak and Aquila Mountain. Mount Zengel is also properly identified, along with some other changes.
The Bank of Canada’s new polymer series of bank notes, introduced to thwart counterfeiters, has been plagued with problems and misunder-standings.
BY FRAZIER MOORETHE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Don’t worry about me. The Sharknado Evacuation map supplied by Syfy network places me, as a resident of Lower Manhattan, smack in the zone most in peril this sharkna-do season. But I’ll be ready.
You might as well batten down the hatches, too. Sharknado 2: The Second One (which, if you hadn’t guessed, is an encore follow-up sequel to last summer’s campy classic) premieres Wednesday (7 p.m.).
The original Sharknado depicted a weather aberration on the South-ern California coast that caused blood-thirsty sharks to rain on hapless Ange-lenos.
But hunky beach-bar owner Fin Shepard (get it: fin shepherd?!) saved the day with a makeshift shark explo-sion.
Now he’s back. Again played by Bev-erly Hills, 90210 alum Ian Ziering, Fin, in the aftermath of his sharknado trau-ma, is heading to New York City for a quiet visit along with his beloved ex, April (the returning Tara Reid).
It won’t surprise you to learn that an even bigger, badder sharknado siege awaits him.
That’s the bad news. The good news: Sharknado 2 is a hilarious must-see treat.
The original film erupted as a so-cial-media and pop-culture phenom-enon, mostly celebrated for its unwit-ting awfulness.
It was a throwback to drive-in mov-ies of 50 years ago that you would have ignored while you and your date put your attention elsewhere.
A would-be blend of Jaws and Bay-watch, it was funny, but never seemed to be in on the joke.
Against all odds, Sharknado 2 has wised up.
Though it and its performers teem with conviction — no winking at the audience here — the film is unabash-edly awash with fun.
And unlike laid-back Cali, New York — always spoiling for a fight — is the perfect arena for dramatic strife, even from killer sharks cascading from the sky.
In fact, Sharknado 2 serves as a pae-an to the Big Apple.
Veteran comedian Robert Klein (playing the mayor of New York in one of the film’s numerous celebrity cam-eos) delivers a rousing call-to-arms for all New Yorkers: “When something bites us, we bite back!” Hizzoner said a mouthful!
Adding to the merriment are the many New York locations. Director Anthony C. Ferrante (back again for the sequel, as is screenwriter Thunder Levin) proves himself as a guerrilla filmmaker, capturing the city up-close-and-personal yet with a remarkably sleek touch.
It’s a fine-looking film, despite a budget (Ferrante hints) somewhere between $1 million and $2 million and a shooting schedule (he swears) of just 18 days.
“I had only been to New York a few times,” Ferrante, who grew up in Northern California, said recently,
“and getting to come here and shoot at all these landmarks, I was like a kid in a candy store.
“When they told me, ‘You only get Times Square for two hours, and with only a crew of eight,’ I said, ‘OK, let’s do it!’ We shot the whole ferry scene in 15 minutes on the ride back from Lib-erty Island.
“We needed to do the subway scene, and got a meeting with the MTA. They didn’t know what a sharknado is, but we made our case. They said, ‘We’re gonna give you the platform at Citi Field and a functioning (subway) car for three hours.’ And the Mets gave us a 12-hour day at Citi Field. I’m from L.A., but I want the Mets to win the
World Series this year. They did me a solid!”
The subway and Citi Field sequenc-es are riotous, and, among the many star turns, Today personalities Matt Lauer and Al Roker do some of the best work of their lives providing pok-er-faced coverage of the raging disas-ter.
But the film will sink its teeth into you from its first moments as you join Fin and April on their terrifying air-line flight. Fasten your seatbelt for a wicked homage.
This Sharknado is the very defini-tion of scared silly.

LGI arrives, expects Red Deer to be Alberta hub
BY HARLEY RICHARDS
ADVOCATE BUSINESS EDITOR
The name LGI Industrial and Construction Supplies may not be well known in Alberta. But Paul Lantz is working to change this — one business at a time.
Lantz owns the LGI Industrial and Construc-tion Supplies franchise in Red Deer and is the business’s regional director for Alberta. He’s been building a local customer base over the past few months and plans to open his shop at No. 5, 7875 48th Ave. next week.
“It’ll be open to the public if they want to come in and look around.”
Based in Maple Ridge, B.C., LGI Industri-al and Construction Supplies sells fasteners, abrasives, cutting tools, safety supplies, weld-ing equipment and other products. The Red Deer outlet is the first in Alberta, and is ex-pected to serve the manufacturing, metal fab-rication, drilling equipment, oil and gas, and construction sectors.
“It’s mainly wholesale,” said Lantz, who ex-pects to deal primarily with other businesses.
In many cases, his retail shop won’t be nec-essary because he’ll deliver directly to custom-ers. “Most of the industrial supply business is handled that way.”
What distinguishes GI Industrial and Con-struction Supplies stores from their competi-
tors is the fact that they are franchised, some-thing that’s unique for the industry in Canada.
“We’re offering a little bit different kind of business model.”
Lantz said LGI Industrial and Construction Supplies has ambitious plans for Alberta, with a target of 18 franchises over the next 10 years. Red Deer is expected to serve as the distribu-tion hub for this network.
Lantz’s 3,500-square-foot shop is big enough to maintain a good inventory of the most com-monly sought items. For others, LGI Industrial and Construction Supplies has a quick-ship program that can get products here within 48 hours.
The benefit of operating as a franchise is that decisions can be made quickly and in re-sponse to customers’ needs, he said. “I’m cus-tomizing my company to fit my customers.”
LGI Industrial and Construction Supplies currently has three outlets in British Columbia and one in Newfoundland. Lantz, who spent 25 years in the kitchen cabinet manufacturing industry and was vice-president of sales with Westridge Cabinets, thinks the company has huge potential in Alberta.
“It’s a big opportunity.”LGI Industrial and Construction Supplies is
scheduled to officially open to the public next Wednesday, with a grand opening set for Sept. 25.

Visitors to Bower Place Shopping Centre will soon be able to mix a grande caffè va-nilla Frappuccino or a venti caramel macchiato in with their shopping.
Starbucks plans to open a coffee shop in the south Red Deer mall, confirmed shopping centre manager John Rooke. It will occupy the space in the food court that was vacated by Good Earth Coffeehouse and Bakery at the end of June, and should be open in time for the Christmas shopping season, he said.
Meanwhile, Thai Express opened in the food court on July 19. It replaced Vanellis.
Elsewhere in the mall, The Source electronics store is
scheduled to relocate to a por-tion of the bay that became available with the closure of Eddie Bauer in January, said Rooke. Cleo recently moved within the mall to take the re-mainder of the Eddie Bauer space.
Spencer Gifts is slated to move into The Source’s cur-rent location, and a new ten-ant is close to being signed for Cleo’s former space, said Rooke. He said previously that the business is one that would be new to the Red Deer mar-ketplace.
“The tenant will most likely be taking possession in early January of next year,” said Rooke.
The Source and Spencer Gifts should be settled into their new premises before Christmas, he added.

The winter of 2014 was a relatively good one for Central Alberta honey bees.
Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development has released the results of its latest honey bee winterkill survey.
These indicate a mortality rate of 16.7 per cent for the area between Calgary and Edmon-ton — less than half the figure recorded for the previous winter.
The provincial average was 18.5 per cent, with the lowest rate in Southern Alberta at 15.1 per cent. The highest mortality rate was in the Peace River region, at 23.2 per cent.
“The surveyed beekeepers reported winter-ing 197,038 honey bee colonies and nuclei,’ says Medhat Nasr, an apiculturist with the depart-ment. “Overall, beekeepers reported that 18.5 per cent of Alberta bees died during the 2013-14 winter.”
Nasr said beekeepers who wintered full size bee colonies in British Colombia reported the
lowest winterkill in recent years, at 10.5 per cent.
During the winter of 2013–14, a quarter of managed honey bee colonies died in Canada. The highest winterkill was 58 per cent in Ontar-io, with the rest of the provinces averaging 19.3 per cent. The lowest winterkill was reported in British Colombia, at 15 per cent.
“It was encouraging to hear that Quebec reported 18 per cent winterkill in 2014,” says Nasr. “This is the lowest reported winterkill in Quebec in comparison to previous years.
It is particularly remarkable that Alberta has decreased its bee winterkill rates by 50 per cent, going from 30 to 40 per cent from 2007 to 2010, down to 15 to 24 per cent in the last four years.
“Overall, the average winterkill in Alberta is 20 per cent in the past four years. The sig-nificant decrease in winterkill rates has been attributed to the use of Varroa mite control products and the adoption of effective bee sur-veillance and management systems.”
Trade compromise neededBY THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — It’s an open question whether Canada needs a free trade deal with Europe, but it is more certain that the Harper government does.
With a cloud suddenly ap-pearing over the Stephen Harper’s “historic achieve-ment” because of German con-cerns over a clause that allow firms to sue governments, free trade advocates are advising the prime minister to compro-mise if he has to, but get the deal done.
The German objection — signalled in a news leak on Saturday that it would not sign the agreement with the cur-rent language on investor state
dispute settlement (ISDS) — has since been modified by a government official saying Germany would examine “me-ticulously” the deal once it has been finalized.
In a response to a me-dia question, the European Union’s trade official in Can-ada, Karsten Mecklenburg, said “negotiators have almost finished their work” and only then would EU member states be asked to approve the docu-ment.
Germany’s ambassador to Canada, Werner Wnendt, says investor protections are not a deal-breaker for his country, but they deserve close scru-tiny.
“That (ISDS) is the concern of people in Germany and it’s something that needs to be
taken seriously by the govern-ment,” he told CBC.
He also said Canada and European nations have func-tioning court systems, so “the question is do we need a sepa-rate conflict resolution mecha-nism.”
Officials in Trade Minis-ter Ed Fast’s office did not respond to requests for an interview with the minister Monday and continued to in-sist “excellent progress is be-ing made.”
A spokesman for the Cana-dian Chamber of Commerce also downplayed the news re-port.
“We have been assured by our German partners that they will not block the deal. They have had to manage their in-ternal political issue, in the
context of TTIP (talks with the U.S.),” said Emilie Potvin, vice-president of public affairs with the business group.
But trade experts who have followed the talks closely say Germany was almost certainly sending a message that Ottawa had better heed, or risk losing the agreement.
That would be bad for Can-ada’s economy, they say, even though Statistics Canada fig-ures show exports to the EU have rebounded smartly from last autumn.
But given the importance Harper has put on the pact, failure would be politically damaging entering into an election cycle.
“Harper’s competitive ad-vantage is that he is a superior manager of the economy, that
he can do trade deals big and small. But if he can’t close on what he calls the biggest, most comprehensive free trade deal in history, it’s going to hurt a lot,” said Ian Lee, an econom-ics professor at Carleton Uni-versity.
Trade lawyer Lawrence Herman said Canada should go back to the drawing board on investment protection if it has to, and even be prepared to drop ISDS altogether to get the deal done.
“Its value may be overstat-ed,” he said.
“None of the 200 pend-ing arbitrations under the International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Dis-putes involve Canadian com-panies suing European gov-ernments.”
BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
A new poll suggests that health and medical costs are the biggest financial worry for Canadians later in life.
The Bank of Montreal re-port, titled “Living to 100: The Four Keys to Longevity,” found that 74 per cent of those recently polled foresee medi-cal costs as their biggest ex-pense in their senior years.
On average, those polled expect to spend $5,391 in out-of-pocket medical expenses every year after the age of 65.
About 30 per cent believe they’ll be paying between $1,000 to $5,000 in annual medical costs, 21 per cent say they have no guess, 20 per cent expect to spend under $1,000 and 16 per cent say they ex-pect to spend between $5,000 to $10,000.
Six per cent anticipate on paying between $10,000 to $15,000, while three per cent expect to pay between $15,000 to $20,000 or $20,000 or more.
Following medical costs, the majority (57 per cent) of those polled in the report to be released Wednesday, say their second biggest expense will be food, clothing and other day-to-day essentials, followed by housing (56 per cent), long-term care (38 per cent), travel (28 per cent), en-tertainment and hobbies (19 per cent), debt payments (15 per cent) and supporting adult children and grandchildren (13 per cent).
Chris Buttigieg, senior man-ager of wealth planning strat-
egy at BMO Financial Group, said these are credible wor-ries because Canadians are living longer than they ever did before.
“It’s clear there is a major demographic shift happening in our country,” he said. “As Canadians’ longevity contin-ues to improve, they should account for the health and fi-nancial issues that come with the possibility of living a lon-ger life.”
The survey found that a quarter of those polled admit to not having a financial plan for retirement, something that is key to financial stability in old age, said Buttigieg.
“The need for financial se-curity becomes more apparent as we age,” said the report.
“When regular employment income is no longer part of the equation, the wealth ac-cumulated during your work-ing years may help to fill the gaps. Uncertainty about future health care costs and the Can-ada Pension Plan (CPP) has forced us to become more re-sourceful and to seek out oth-er long-term solutions.”
Ottawa has been recently examining the issue of finan-cial retirement security, as it presses ahead with a plan to introduce shared risk pension plans to federally-regulated employees.
It hopes to implement the legislation, which enhances the Canadian Pension Plan, by early in 2015.
The option for the new plans would be available to the over 1,200 federally regu-lated plans, including Crown employees.

TORONTO — A drop in energy stocks helped push the Toronto stock market slightly lower Monday as trad-ers brace for a heavy slate of earn-ings reports this week, particularly from the resource sector.
The S&P/TSX composite index gave back 9.82 points to 15,445.22.
“This week will be jam-packed with information for investors to di-gest,” said Craig Fehr, Canadian mar-kets specialist at Edward Jones in St. Louis.
The Canadian dollar rose 0.12 of a cent at 92.59 cents US.
New York markets were mainly positive as the Dow Jones industri-als moved ahead 22.02 points at 16,982.59, the Nasdaq lost 4.65 points to 4,444.91 and the S&P 500 index was up 0.57 of a point to 1,978.91.
Big names in the Canadian gold mining and energy sector, such as Barrick Gold Corp. (TSX:ABX) and Suncor Energy (TSX:SU), report their second-quarter results this week. Those two sectors are the best per-forming on the TSX year to date with energy up about 19 per cent while the gold sector is up about 28 per cent — but that’s after being cut in half last year. The energy sector is actually the leading advancer since its market weighting is far heavier than gold.
Bombardier (TSX:BBD.B) also re-ports its results Thursday. Its shares are close to its 52-week low of $3.44 and investors will be looking for an update on the development of the company’s crucial CSeries airliner, which has been beset by a series of delays. Its shares slipped four cents to $3.61.
The energy sector led TSX de-cliners, down 0.84 per cent as Sep-tember crude on the New York Mer-cantile Exchange lost 42 cents to US$101.67 a barrel.
Athabasca Oil Corp. (TSX:ATH) shares fell 47 cents or 6.83 per cent to $6.41 as the company seeks to
reassure investors that it is working to close a $1.23-billion oilsands asset sale to PetroChina.
Techs were also weak with BlackBerry (TSX:BB) down 37 cents to $10.75 after CEO John Chen told Bloomberg Television that he has no acquisition offers on his desk. He said BlackBerry is focused on turning its ailing business around independently, and its chances of success are “better than 80/20.”
The TSX closed well off the worst levels of the session as the gold sec-tor finished positive, up about 0.8 per cent as August bullion closed un-changed at US$1,303.30 an ounce.
The TSX base metals sector led TSX advancers, up 1.11 per cent while September copper was un-changed at US$3.24 a pound.
There was also major acquisition activity in the U.S. where Dollar Tree is buying rival discount store Family Dollar in a cash-and-stock deal val-ued at about US$8.5 billion.
The data calendar for Canada is light this week with only one major report. Statistics Canada posts May gross domestic product figures on Thursday. Economists are looking for a 0.3 per cent gain for the month.
In the U.S., traders will look to second-quarter GDP data out Tues-day, the Federal Reserve makes its scheduled announcement on interest rates on Wednesday and on Friday, the U.S. government releases its em-ployment report for July.

Mall construction boom fuelled by nation’s wealthiest
BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
While big box retailers like Target have struggled to get a foothold in Ca-nadian markets, demand for luxury retailers is strong and fuelling massive expansion projects at shopping malls across the country.
According to research by commer-cial real estate company CBRE Group, more luxury retailers are predicted to arrive in Canada, albeit at a more moderate pace compared to the flurry of activity seen in the last three years.
The aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis and recession spurred a boom in retail development with foreign retail-ers, primarily American ones, turning their sights to Canada and construc-tion hasn’t kept up with demand.
There is little to no vacancy in high-ly sought after shopping centres and neighbourhoods, according to CBRE’s head researcher Ross Moore.
“We just don’t have empty retail to
speak of. Across the country malls are generally full. If you’re a Spanish or Italian or U.S. retailer, you are going to be put off by that. Supply is the key. Until we build more that’s going to be a challenge.”
The study, which measured the number and type of retailers that set up shop in 2013, found that luxury and high-end fashion brands constitute the majority of new arrivals in Canada.
Newcomers in the jewellery, design-er fashion and accessories categories are driving the demand for additional retail space.
In the cities, where most of Canada’s top income earners reside, construc-tion cranes are busy piecing together the new extensions: In Vancouver, the Pacific and Oakridge Centres are get-ting bigger (adding 578,000-square-feet and 373,000-square-feet respectively); Calgary’s Chinook Centre is expand-ing (140,000-square-feet) as well as Ot-tawa’s Rideau Centre (230,000-square-feet).
Bitcoin transactions at risk for crimeBY THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — The high level of anonymity and lack of regulation associated with Bitcoin transactions may make the virtual currency “an attractive pay-ment method for criminals,” warns a newly disclosed Finance Department memo.
The internal memo, prepared for former finance minister Jim Flaherty, says while the degree of crim-inal activity involving Bitcoin is unclear, some have raised flags about its potential to fund illicit behav-iour. Bitcoin is a digital currency exchanged through computer transactions without the oversight of a central bank.
Users can install a Bitcoin wallet on their com-puter or mobile phone, which will generate a special address to which others can send payments.
“With the press of a computer button, you’ve transferred the value,” said Christine Duhaime, a
lawyer and certified financial crime and anti-money laundering specialist.
Transactions are sent to a public network for veri-fication. As the memo to Flaherty notes, although both parties’ Bitcoin and Internet Protocol, or IP, ad-dresses are transmitted to the public network, no ad-ditional information is provided about either user.
Various Bitcoin exchange services allow users to convert local currency into Bitcoins, or vice versa.
“Virtual currencies such as Bitcoin have been criticized for their potential to fund illicit activity, such as money laundering and terrorist financing,” the memo to Flaherty says.
While virtual currency schemes can promote fi-nancial innovation and provide payment alterna-tives, they also entail risks for consumers, the note adds.
“For example, there have been a number of secu-rity incidents in which Bitcoin wallets or other infra-structures have been compromised.
High Arctic completes $29-million
equipment dealHigh Arctic Energy Services Inc. (TSX: HWO) an-
nounced on Monday that it has completed the acqui-
sition of two heli-portable drilling rigs and related
equipment.
The cost of the purchase was approximately
US$29 million, with this figure expected to rise to an
estimated US$52 million when delivery, upgrading
and commissioning costs are included.
The Red Deer-based company said the rigs are
currently en route to Houston, Tex., for upgrading
and commissioning. One is already committed to a
two-year drilling contract in Papua New Guinea, and
a contract in Papua New Guinea is being sought for
the second.
Atco Q2profits lower
THE CANADIAN PRESS
CALGARY — Canadi-an Utilities Ltd. and par-ent company Atco Ltd. both reported lower sec-ond-quarter earnings, as it was hurt by lower pow-er prices and increased natural gas costs.
C a n a d i a n U t i l i -ties said Monday that i earned a second-quar-ter profit attributable to shareholders of $115 million, compared with $160 million in the same period of 2013. Earnings per share were 39 cents versus 59 cents year-over-year.
Adjusted earnings for Canadian Utilities were $85 million in the quar-ter compared with $131 million in the same quar-ter of 2013.
Meanwhile, Atco Ltd. (TSX:ACO.X) reported a second-quarter profit at-tributable to sharehold-ers of $66 million or 57 cents per share, down from $98 million or 85 cents per share a year ago.
Russia ordered to pay investors for expropriation of oil company
BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — Russia has been or-dered to pay over $50 billion for expro-priating what was once the country’s largest oil producer, Yukos, in a court ruling that said President Vladimir Putin’s government used tax claims to destroy the company and its CEO, a po-litical opponent.
Monday’s verdict by the Permanent Court for Arbitration increases the economic and diplomatic isolation of Russia at a time when it faces new, po-tentially painful sanctions from West-ern powers.
The court, a body that rules on cor-porate disputes, said the Russian gov-ernment owes the money — a huge sum, even for such an oil-rich nation— to the former majority shareholders in Yukos Oil Co.
Moscow vowed to fight the decision, raising the prospect of a new round of legal battles as the shareholders seek to enforce the decision by seizing Rus-sian state-owned assets in 150 coun-tries around the world.
They can attempt to seize any assets
used for commercial purposes. That means that while embassies are safe, planes, art, commercial property, gas pipelines and oil rigs are not.
“It’s the end of the beginning,” said Tim Osborne, executive director of GML, formerly Group Menatep Ltd., whose subsidiaries brought the suit to the court based in The Hague, Nether-lands.
The court said Russia had used tax claims to take control of Yukos in 2003 and silence its CEO, Mikhail Khodor-kovsky, an opponent of Putin who had begun to use his vast wealth to fund opposition parties challenging Putin’s power.
Khodorkovsky was arrested at gun-point as he boarded a plane in Siberia that year and spent more than a de-cade in prison as Yukos’ main assets were sold to a state-owned company. Yukos ultimately went bankrupt.
Monday’s ruling, one of the largest commercial arbitration awards in his-tory, adds to Russia’s economic prob-lems just as the U.S. and European Union are debating further sanctions against the country because of its sup-port for rebels in eastern Ukraine.
MARKERVILLE: ‘How can any dishout do what I havealready eaten?’
This segment started with Chef Dar-ren’s succulent tender pork that was sous vide for 24 hours and then seared on grill. Glazed with honey, the pork was displayed on a bed of Moroccan potato salad and charred sweet onions. All this was topped with crispy pork rind.
Then came the ham rolled up in leg of lamb, which was then smoked, a specialty of Chef John of Charcut and Chef Jes-sica. With thinly sliced radishes, shelling peas, pickled potatoes and fresh dill, it was July harvest in a platter.
By now I am thinking, “How can any dish out do what I have already eaten?”
Well, it seemed like the chefs had their own personal competition going on in the kitchen, with each trying to outdo the other.
Chef Duncan sent out some grilled beef ten-derloin that was roasted
and charred and served with baby car-rots, Swiss chard, kale that was gently sautéed with mustard green and tossed with garlic brown butter. The tender-loin was topped with in-house made chili herbed pesto.
The final main course dish was prepared by Chef Darren: a jerk-marinated pork loin cooked all day on a rotisserie and then glazed with black currant sauce accompanied with smoked beets.
The finale of the Long Table Din-ner was with Chef Darren’s dessert. He picked this dessert because for him, “nothing says summer better than strawberries and cream.” This des-sert used lightly-thickened cream with miso anglaise to increase the flavour. Fresh strawberries were incorporated into the gelato and more fresh and
dehydrated strawberries were used to accentuate the dish. To counter bal-ance the sweet, it was served with pep-percorn shortbread.
This was a memorable, truly one-of-kind culinary experience. A big applause to the community of Marker-ville for successfully hosting a superb culinary extravaganza.
As to who gets the standing ovation for the meal, Chef Darren summed it up humbly by quoting Thomas Keller: “If you and I have the same capabili-ties, the same energy, the same staff, if the only thing that’s different between you and me is the products we can get, and I can get a better product than you, I’m going to be a better chef.”
The Long Table Dinner succeed in
shining the light on the high-quality bounty offered by the farmers and pro-ducers of Central Alberta.

LIFESTYLE A10TUESDAY, JULY 29, 2014
Dear Annie: I am a 68-year-old wom-an who has been divorced for more than 30 years. I haven’t been in an intimate relationship for the past 10.
Last year, I discovered that I have genital herpes. The doctor said I may have had it for years before ex-periencing symptoms. I was devastated. When I have an outbreak, I take medication that shortens the discom-fort, and I decided not to have intimate contact any-more. I’m quite busy with my retirement lifestyle and very content.
Here’s the problem: Through a friend, I recently met an interesting man my age. I don’t want to tell him about my personal medical history, but I also don’t want him to think I’m a prude. We went out casually once, and he has called since, but I have put him off. I can’t decide whether I should see him again and whether I should tell him I have an STD and let him decide whether he wants a “friend without
benefits.” What do you suggest?— K.Dear K.: It seems a shame to end
your sex life because you fear transmitting an STD. There are ways to avoid that. And your future part-ner may be more under-standing than you realize. Please contact the Ameri-can Sexual Health Associa-tion (ashasexualhealth.org) for information on all STDs, including herpes, and for support in communicating with potential partners.
Dear Annie: How do you tell a doctor that his office is dirty? My physician’s of-fice is full of dust, cobwebs, smudged fingerprints and dirty sinks. It looks as if it hasn’t been cleaned in
years. He is a good doctor and has helped
me many times, but I can hardly walk into that office without gagging. What should I do? —Love the Doc, Not His Office
Dear Love the Doc: You have to tell him. All of that dirt means that equip-
ment that needs to be sterile isn’t, and who knows what germs you are breath-ing in during an exam? This puts your health at risk. Also, how many patients has he lost because of the condition of his office? And if your doctor cannot see the dirt surrounding him, he may have a vision problem that needs cor-recting, although it’s more likely he either doesn’t have a cleaning staff or they don’t do a good job.
Does your doctor have an assistant or receptionist? Direct your complaint to that person. If there is no one else in his office, please have the courage to speak up during your next visit. Tell the doctor that his office could use a good cleaning, and suggest that his current cleaning service be replaced. If things don’t change, report him to your local health department.
Dear Annie: My daughter had the same experience as the son of “Upset Dad.”
In seven years on the softball teams in middle and high school, she never missed a practice.
Yet I can count on one hand the number of times that she played more than one inning in a game. Most of the
time, she sat on the bench, while kids who habitually missed practice got to play all the time.
My daughter loved softball so much that she begged me not to say anything to the coach, and I respected her wish-es until the day after her graduation, when I penned a polite but critical let-ter to the coach, athletic director and superintendent.
Not one of them had the courtesy to reply.
I’m a teacher. The field is a coach’s classroom. If I refused to call on stu-dents who came to class prepared, raised their hands and wanted to participate, I certainly would be dis-missed. In school sports, all students who attend practices regularly, follow team rules and want to play should have an equal opportunity to do so. -- English Teacher and One-Time Sports Mom

FOOD A11TUESDAY, JULY 29, 2014
Last weekend, Markerville celebrated summer with a culinary extravaganza.
Besides their sec-ond annual Taste of Markerville, they hosted a formal, sit down Long Table Din-ner. With the help of talented chefs from Calgary and locally-sourced ingredients from producers and farmers around Cen-tral Alberta, a one-of-a-kind menu was served to over 100 guests.
“In the hopes of showcasing the local food, this event was a longtime vision for
Markerville,” explained Kathleen Raines, an organizer of the event. Knowing his In-nisfail roots, Raines approached Chef Dar-ren Maclean, a self-styled chef and owner of Downtown Food in Calgary, to see if he would come cook in Markerville. Having childhood memories of visiting the Mark-erville creamery, Chef Darren didn’t need much convincing.
He brought with him five of Alberta’s top chefs: John Jackson of Charcut Roast House; Jessica Pellant, Alberta’s first Chopped Canada champion and executive chef of Charbar restaurant and rooftop patio; Pierre Lamielle of Food On Your Shirt; Andrew Winfield of River Cafe; and finally, the culi-nary giant Duncan Ly of Hotel Arts Group.
With plate settings to be done, centre pieces to be assembled and servers to serve the food to the guests, this event required many hands. Not an easy feat for little ham-let with a population of about 60 people.
“But, Markerville is a little village that could,” says Raines. Getting past students who worked at the creamery during the sum-mer, residents of Markerville and locals from around the area to volunteer, Marker-ville was able to serve food that could only be found in fine dining restaurant, with the charm and warmth small town atmosphere. The icing on the cake: the exquisite meal was served outside in the beautiful country-side of Markerville, with the Medicine River as the backdrop.
The meal began with Chef Darren’s sour dough bread prepared with stone ground red fife wheat from Country Thyme Farms. Using the freshly-milled flour, the dough was cultured, fermented and mixed with flax seed before creating the artesian styled loaf.
To tease the taste buds, Chef Duncan pre-sented the guest with a amuse-bouche that was a play off of the tomato salad — cherry tomatoes poached in butter and served alongside rhubarb marshmallow. This was garnished with charred pickled cucumber, crispy prosciutto and grated salted almonds.
To counter the hot weather, Chef Andrew prepared a cold English pea Gazpacho with cucumber and Farmstead cheese, nastur-tium and lemon verbena. He accentuated the dish with froth and marigolds petals.
The final appetizer was prepared by Chef Pierre — chicken pot pie. Though it had all the traditional flavours of the popular com-fort food, its presentation was totally chic and very uptown. For me the best part was the crust. His secret? Using the chicken skin to render all the fat and then incorporated the fat into the flour for flaky, flavourful pastry.
The main courses of the meal were deliv-ered in rustic family style — a big platter of food that was to be passed and shared with your neighbours.

BREAKFASTS DAMPENED

Man pleads not guilty to new charges
A local man awaiting trial in connection with a violent arrest in Red Deer has plead-ed not guilty to new charges laid while he was out on bail.
William Clayton Bradshaw, 28, was ar-rested earlier this month by Sylvan Lake RCMP investigating complaints that a num-ber of vehicles had been entered and an SUV was stolen from an area in the Ryders Ridge subdivision.
Represented by Ponoka-based defence counsel Craig Paterson, Bradshaw pleaded not guilty to the new charges and asked to be tried by a provincial court judge. His trial is Nov. 24.
He has elected to stand trial in Court of Queen’s Bench on older charges, laid by po-lice attending a stolen vehicle complaint in Red Deer on March 31.
RCMP allege that the suspect in that incident struck one civilian and two police vehicles and ran over a police officer’s foot in a bid to escape capture.
Bradshaw is scheduled for a prelimi-nary hearing on Feb. 15 on charges laid in connection with the March 31 incident. Preliminary hearings are optional when an accused person has asked for a Queen’s Bench trial and may be held to test the strength of the Crown’s case.
Bradshaw was denied bail last week on the new charges.
Health foundation gets new director
A new executive director of the Red Deer Regional Health Foundation has been appointed.
Iaian Park, a longtime resident of Cen-
tral Alberta, will start his new job on Aug. 11. The health foundation raises funds to provide medical equipment and services in Central Alberta.
Park has knowledge and experience in business, business development and health care.
Park and his wife started Ignite Fitness in Red Deer in 2008, and his wife is now general manager of the business. Park re-cently managed a health workplace action plan for Alberta Health Services.
Air quality advisory liftedThe precautionary air quality advisory
for Central Alberta was lifted on Monday after 18 days.
Alberta Health Services says smoke from wildfires in B.C. and the Northwest Territories no longer pose a sustained in-creased risk of health concerns.
The advisory was issued on July 10 for both the Central and Edmonton Zones of AHS.
The advisory remains in effect for the entire North Zone.
Residents and visitors to the North Zone are advised to remain aware of and take precautions against potential health con-cerns associated with smoky air conditions. People with respiratory conditions, such as COPD and asthma, and those with existing cardiovascular conditions, such as angina, previous heart attack and congestive heart failure, may notice a worsening of symp-toms.
Information about the air quality in Alberta is updated frequently through Al-berta’s Air Quality Health Index at http://airquality.alberta.ca or by phone, toll-free, at 1-877-247-7333.

Calvinist cadet camp evacuated in severe weather
About 1,100 men and boys from the Cal-vinist Cadets Camporee were evacuated from Kamp Lone Pine near Lacombe on Friday due to severe weather.
The campers were redirected to the pools at the Dawe and Collicutt centres in Red Deer for the day and spent the night at Woodynook Christian Reformed Church, west of Blackfalds.
A few trees came down at the site as winds gusted up to 90 km/h in the region, but no one was injured and all the tents are still in good condition, said Keith Vaan-drager, a spokesperson for the Calvinist Cadet Corps.
“The winds were picking up pretty good so the last thing you want is to have some-one have a tree fall on them. We thought with the rain and miserable weather, we’d change our plans,” Vaandrager said.
“They were back in camp Saturday morning. It was what we’re calling a sur-prise overnight excursion. They were tired but they had a good time.”
The Calvinist Cadets Camporee is for boys only (ages 11 to 17) from the inter-national church community and runs for about a week.
Camp activities include archery, riflery, canoeing and geocaching, as well as shelter building and cooking lessons.

People are still recovering from higher utility expenses during the long winter, based on the demand for groceries at the Red Deer Food Bank.
In June, about 2,000 people used the lo-cal food bank, up from about 1,700 in the spring when utility costs were making it impossible for more people than usual on shoe-string bud-gets.
Last month, 369 food ham-pers helped 900 people, includ-ing 492 adults and 418 chil-dren. Another 1,100 walk-in clients were al-so served.
“I think it’s just a carryover from that long winter. It’s taking people a little longer to catch up,” said Alice Kolis-nyk, food bank deputy director, on Monday.
She said snow in May also caused a de-lay in paycheques for seasonal workers and there is always an influx of seasonal work-
ers who need a hand during summer.Once school closes for summer, families
face additional child care costs for young children and soon they will face the bur-den of back to school ex-penses, she said.
“A lot of money gets s p e n t o n school sup-p l i e s a n d clothes.”
K o l i s n y k said the an-nual demand at the food bank remains fair-ly steady and she can’t recall a drastic drop in demand for any reason in recent years.
“It’s still very constant.”She said food donations tend to drop off
in the summer, but local growers ensure there’s plenty of fresh produce for those in need.
Backyard gardeners help out when they have bumper crops, including crab apples, which should start arriving at the food bank in August.
Central Alberta Women’s Outreach is once again operating its Tools For School program to provide students in need with a backpack of basic school supplies.
Darcy Ouellet, Women’s Outreach fund development officer, said backpacks con-
tain about $90 worth of school supplies, including the backpack.
“It’s a good majority of what they need,” Ouellet said. Last year, 1,285 backpacks
were given out in the f i rs t -come, f i r s t - s e r v e program.
O n Wednesday, donation bins for Tools for Schools will be set up at Walmarts in
Red Deer and Sylvan Lake, Staples, Costco Wholesale, United Way of Central Alberta, Peavey Mart, and a couple of bins will move around to community events.
Ouellet said every year parents ask if running shoes are included in the backpack and this year the answer is ‘Yes.’
Women’s Outreach is partnering with CrossRoads Church to provide a new pair of running shoes for kindergarten to Grade 8 through the program Love in the Laces.
Shoes can be dropped off at the church, located at 38105 Range Road 275, every Sunday in August from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and from 6:30 to 8 p.m.
Children’s sizes 10 to 13 and adult sizes one to eight will be accepted.

hits bumps
Surveillance catches flagrant idling in city
BY CRYSTAL RHYNO
ADVOCATE STAFF
In just about any communi-
ty, drive-through restaurants
are the biggest source of ve-
hicle idling.
Red Deer is no different.
Last July, 26 out of 30 ve-
hicles in the McDonald’s Res-
taurant (3020 22nd St.) drive-
through lineup kept their ve-
hicles running for a total of
182 minutes, over the course
of one hour.
But the worst offenders
aren’t necessarily just at drive-
throughs
A driver of an SUV in the
Sobeys South parking lot kept
his motor running for 26 min-
utes that same summer.
Another driver of an SUV
idled his vehicle for 27 min-
utes at St. Teresa of Avila
School while presumably wait-
ing for his children.
“For me it was a little bit
surprising to see the length
of time that people idle,” said
Nancy Hackett, the city’s Envi-
ronmental Initiatives supervi-
sor. “Some vehicles were idling
for 19 or 26 minutes. That is re-
ally a long time to leave your
vehicle running while you are
in a grocery store or in a pub-
lic building.”
Hackett referred to some of
the findings of the city’s first
informal idling monitoring
campaign conducted last sum-
mer. The city is now in the fifth
year of its idle-free awareness
campaign designed to encour-
age residents to turn off the
key. There are nine businesses
or institutions and 28 schools
in the coalition.
Signs are up at the sites en-
couraging motorists to turn the
key off.
Six locations around the
city were under surveillance
by a summer student paid
through a Volunteer Alberta
program.
The student was tasked
with recording several obser-
vations, including the num-
ber of vehicles idling, the
time spent idling and time
of day.
Hackett said this is part
of the community-based ap-
proach in which they want to
understand what is happening
in the community.
A sample of locations
were monitored — the Col-
licutt Centre, downtown Red
Deer, McDonald’s, Sobeys
(2110 50th Ave.), Normandeau
School and St. Teresa of Avila
School, at different times of
the day.

ADVOCATE STAFF
Efforts to free up courtroom
space in Red Deer are getting
a thumbs down from people
involved in traffic court.
Effective April 1, a variety
of non-criminal matters that
had been heard in the Red
Deer Courthouse were moved
to a meeting room in the Red
Deer Lodge Hotel, about four
blocks away.
The idea behind the move
was to create more space for
criminal and family court
in Red Deer’s 30-year-old
courthouse, which now cov-
ers a wider area and serves
a much larger population
than it did in 1982 when it
was built.
With prospects for a larger
building still in the discussion
stages, Alberta Justice has
made a number of moves to
increase efficiencies in Red
Deer, including moving traffic
court out altogether.
Red Deer Lodge Hotel man-
ager Kevin Ritchie said ear-
lier this week that the move
has been “fabulous” for his
facility, which has an ongoing
booking for traffic court on
Mondays and Tuesdays, when
there is less demand for meet-
ing rooms than later in the
week.
There’s plenty of parking,
it’s free, and access to the
room used for court is right in-
side the front entry so the doz-
ens of people coming to deal
with their tickets do not get in
the way of the hotel’s custom-
ers, said Ritchie.
Hosting traffic court has not
brought much extra business
into the hotel, but that’s not an
issue, said Ritchie.
But people at the sharp end
of the justice systems have
identified a number of “incon-
veniences” involved with the
move, including a reduction in
the level of security available
in the courthouse.
“We anticipated there
were going to be some diffi-
culties, and certainly, there
are,” said Crown prosecutor
Rob Gregory, a paralegal who
has been looking after traffic
court in Red Deer since last
year.The commissioner presid-
ing over traffic court deals
with offences under a variety
of provincial statutes and mu-
nicipal bylaws, including traf-
fic, wildlife, gaming and liquor
and occupational health and
safety infractions.
Sentences may include jail
time.That can be a problem,
because the hotel room is
covered by private security
guards who do not have the
authority to arrest or detain
people, said Gregory.
Sheriffs must be called to
the hotel whenever someone
is to be taken into custody and
Sheriffs must also be called
anytime there is someone in
the court who is known to be
violent or non-compliant, he
said.Lack of screening at the
front door is less of an issue,
said Gregory.
There is no screening in cir-
cuit court, either, but security
is provided by Alberta Sher-
iffs, he said.
Additionally, Alberta Jus-
tice court services did not
make allowances for a private
interview room, so there is
always an issue of finding a
private place to interview wit-
nesses, said Gregory.

Two is better than one, although one is ex-
ceptional all on its own.
The first Stantec BFF (Best Friends For-
ever) Ladies Golf Tournament on Monday at
River Bend Golf Course featured two holes in
one.Golfers Paulette Hanson of Rocky Mountain
House and Kim Lee of Red Deer won $25,000
each to go towards a new vehicle at Ponoka
Dodge Chrysler, pending insurance verifica-
tion of their holes in one.
The aces occurred at the eighth and 16th
holes (par threes).
“It was crazy. Gord Bamford’s annual golf
classic has never even seen holes in one for the
big prizes,” said Tera Lee Flaman, one of the
main organizers behind the event.
“It’s very, very rare. Most golf tournaments
never see a hole in one. ... We were very excit-
ed. At one of our early meetings, Lyn Radford
said, ‘I’d sure love if someone won one of these
hole in ones,’ and we had two!”
Radford, a longtime well-known volunteer in
the community, was also one of the organizers.
Flaman added that hole in one winner Lee
hadn’t played golf in over eight years.
The tournament was held in support of wom-
en’s athletics through Red Deer College and
the Red Deer Games Foundation.
A number of well-known female athletes
from Central Alberta participated, including
Olympian Mellisa Hollingsworth.
The final fundraising total was not available
at press time on Tuesday but organizers are
calling it a success and already planning for
next year.

Lee Adamson may have been nipped out at the line in the dash for cash, but the blow was softened by wrapping up his second North American Pony Chuckwagon Champion-ship — 20 years after the first — at the Westerner Days on Sunday.
The Camrose driver’s over-all time of six minutes, 32.43 seconds was 3.06 seconds fast-er than Neil Salmond of Week-es, Sask. in the Uncle Ben’s RV outfit, who did win the final race and $4,500 cheque with a time of 1:16.91.
“It’s always special to win a big show like this,” said Ad-amson who was driving the A-1 Rentals rig. “The best of the best are here in Red Deer and you always want to show well in a show like this.”
Adamson held a lead of 3.36 seconds after four heats, an almost insurmountable lead as long as he ran a clean final race but the competitor in him did not want to play safe.
“You know when you’re in a heat like that, you want to win the show, but you throw it balls out, type thing. You want to make sure you’re right there with the boys and make it a good show,” he said.
Even bigger for Adamson, 46, was the chance to watch his son develop over the week.
Cole Adamson, 18, was driv-ing his grandfather’s — Ray Adamson — Pidherny’s wagon in Red Deer, the third event this year he’s had the chance to do so.
After a couple of tough penalties knocked him out of contention the first couple of days, he was one of the fast-est drivers over the last three heats.
The proud papa says he will be the new full-time driver of that wagon going forward.
“He’s come a long ways,” said Adamson of his son.
“It’s his first year wagon driving, but he’s going to be a good driver, there’s no ques-tion there. We figure if we can get him the good horses he’ll do the rest.”
Adamson was the sixth ranked driver in the All-pro Canadian Chuckwagon and Chariot Association stand-ings heading into this past week with strong showings in Grande Prairie, Saddle Lake and Ponoka. With his win at the North American Pony Chuckwagon Championships, he should jump up a few more places.
In third place was defend-ing champion and eight-time champ Keith Wood out of Saddle Lake in the Westock Frame & Wheel Alignment Ltd. rig in Red Deer at 6:36.22, while Sedgewick’s Curtis Hogg was fourth at 6:36.23 in the Kel-lough Enterprises Inc. wagon.
Rounding out the top 10 were Louis Johner of May-erthorpe (Paradise RV in Red Deer, 1:17.43 on Sunday, 6:31.13 total), Gary Thiel of Sherwood Park (Pumps & Pressure Inc. in Red Deer, 1.18.07 Sunday, 6.37.42 total), Kevin Desjarlais
of Elizabeth Métis Settlement (The Pipe Yard in Blackfalds, 1:17.79 Sunday, 6.37.58 total), Brian Miller of Drumhell-er (Westerner Park Board of Directors, 1.17.73 Sunday, 6:40.22 total), Eckville’s Mar-vin Hubl (Eldorado Pressure
Services in Rocky Mountain House, 1:18.11,6:42.68 total), and Chance Thomson of Al-der Flats (PureChem Services, 1:20.53 Sunday, 6:43.66 total).

FAMILY B2TUESDAY, JULY 29, 2014
As the stark white stucco ceiling stares down at me this morning, I feel somehow changed.
The kids giggle vigorously in the rooms adjacent to mine as notes of “mama” drifts about. Husband sleeps soundly next to me, his lips are parted in the most tranquil kind of way. He takes even breaths in and out, in and out.
Beautiful is the word I want to use to describe this moment. Beautiful and end-ing.
Soon the children will barge into the bedroom ask-ing for cereal and banan-as. Soon the crisp morning air will turn into a clammy heat. And soon I will be thrust back into the fast-paced life of parenthood. But for now, I will take in this moment to lay here and reflect. I won’t worry about the day to come, I will be mindful of this lovely moment in time that I’ve been given.
Recently I’ve carried myself in a very unflattering way, I wholeheart-edly admit this. I have been on this health kick. I’m eating properly, no longer fueling my body with processed junk. I’ve quit smoking. I’ve thrown away my scale because I choose not to have my emotions run rampant over a number. I’ve been making positive changes physically, but somehow have neglected to look inward to the places that sometimes need the most care.
In the last few weeks, I look at my-self and see these positive changes and it makes me ecstatic. Yet now as I lay here in my bed reflecting back upon myself, I cringe at the way I have treated the people I love.
Boasting of my superiority over not obsessing with scales and weight. Ar-rogantly spitting swagger about how much I love my ‘new self.’ I have gone as far as saying some truly ignorant and downright mean things to someone I love dearly. Possibly hurting them ir-reversibly only to feed my need for at-tention and drama.
And it makes me wonder: is it possi-
ble to love yourself too much? Possibly I’ve hyper-inflated my ego just enough to tarnish the sanctity of the soul. Con-fidence has never been a thing I’ve had in bushels so perchance this newfound self-assurance is just a delusion I’ve made myself believe through repeti-
tion and recurrence.In any case, I can see the
ugliness of self-absorption submerging through this seemingly healthy body. And I don’t like it.
The kids have now made their way to the bedroom. They cuddle in between Ja-mie and I, and are surpris-ingly quiet as I am over-come with a gratifying air in the room. These moments of clarification usually come at the least expected times. They come without warning. They come bearing hard truths that we do not want to face. They come to explain
all the things we desperately seek but previously did not have the courage to except.
I am thankful to have had this mo-ment. It will help me become the per-son I want to be. Because I want to be humble and reserved, and know when to express my feelings in my work rath-er than being aggressive toward those around me. I want to know when to ignore the remarks of others.
How to let go of negativity and not dwell on moments of the past. I want to be accountable for my actions. I want to be better.
“Mama, can you get us some cere-al?” Lars asks me, stopping the tears of revelation that are welling up in my eyes.
“And a ’nana!?” Sophie adds in with anticipation.
“Yeah guys, let’s go get some break-fast,” I say as the three of us quietly hobble out of the bed.
I will continue on this journey of healthy living, because in truth it does make me feel great and there is no crime in that.
“Joy is the simplest form of gratitude.”— Karl Barth, Swiss Reformed theo-
logian
“Are you up for a good challenge,” she asked.
“Lay it on me,” I replied and we both laughed.
“Think of something spe-cial in your life. It can be something big or small. It can be a relationship, a job, a favourite hobby, a family member, a best friend or even your morning coffee.”
“OK,” I replied. “I’ve got something in mind.” I was thinking of my beautiful lit-tle granddaughter, Alexis, and how she has brought such joy, laughter and hap-piness into my life.
“Now,” said my friend, lowering her voice. “Imag-ine if this person, place or thing were to disappear tomorrow and be gone for-ever. Would you miss it? Would you long for its return?”
Suddenly I wasn’t laughing any-more. I couldn’t imagine life without my granddaughter. For a moment, I was lost in thought – seeing her face, hearing her laughter — cherishing her smile.
It was a powerful exercise in grati-tude — to truly ponder what it is or who it is that we hold most dear. Im-mediately, I wanted to hug my grand-
daughter, kiss her on the forehead and tell her just how grateful I was that she was here and sharing this precious life with me.
What are you most grate-ful for and how often do you express gratitude? If you’re like most of us, you prob-ably take many of the most precious things in your life for granted.
And sadly, many of us never count our blessings or only acknowledge them until they’re gone.
Gratitude is a powerful force that can be used to en-hance our happiness, create more loving relationships, a greater appreciation for life and even improve our health and well-being.

EXTREME ESTEEM
Question: We just learned my spouse has cancer, and we’re reeling. We have the best possible medical care, but there’s one area where doctors can’t help us:
What can we do to keep the disease from harming our marriage?
Jim: Your world’s been turned on its head over-night, and my heart truly goes out to you.
As you’ve wisely antici-pated, medical crises can present a challenge to any marriage.
I’d encourage you to pre-pare yourselves for poten-tial threats by keeping the following thoughts in mind.
● Adjust your expecta-tions. Life is changed for the moment. How you respond as a couple will depend up-on your willingness to set aside your earlier hopes and dreams and roll with the punches of your present circumstances.
● Become adaptable. A medical crisis requires compromise and sac-rifice for the sake of the patient and other family members. You may have to learn different medical skills, ex-change previous roles and responsi-bilities and find new ways of enjoying life together.
● Count your blessings. Make a de-termined effort to look for and find things for which you’re grateful. While this is admittedly tougher to do in the midst of deep water, you both will reap the emotional, physical and spiritual benefits that result from an attitude of gratitude.
● Nurture your faith. Perhaps the biggest challenge you’ll face is making sense of and finding meaning in all this.
Feelings of doubt are normal during crisis, so don’t sweep them under the rug or feel guilty for having them. You may discover a deeper and stronger sense of God’s presence as you wrestle with them.
● Ask for help. Practical assistance, prayer, medical or legal advice, and a meal shared with a listening ear are things you may need at different times. Don’t be shy about making your needs known.
Friends will want to support you,
and the experience will be as good for them as it will be encouraging to you.
It’s people like you I had in mind when I penned my book, “Stronger: Trading Brokenness for Unbreakable
Strength.” I know your deepest need
is beyond any human act or offering.
But if it’s any encourage-ment, I’d like to invite you, and others who are facing difficult circumstances, to call 1-800-A-FAMILY (232-6459) and request a copy with my compliments as supplies are available, or to speak with one of our li-censed counselors.
We’re here and ready to help.
Question: Video games are always begging for our kids’ attention.
But I’m concerned about some of the detrimental ef-
fects of gaming. Can you give me any advice?
Bob Waliszewski, Director, Plugged In: There are several things to con-sider, but I’ll touch on the two most important.
First, make sure the content of your family’s gaming consumption is on the positive side of the ledger. There are a lot of upbeat, fun-to-play games fami-lies can enjoy together that can pro-mote deeper relationships. In fact, I’ve almost always got a game of electronic chess going with my son, who lives out of state.
Unfortunately, many of today’s most popular video games are anything but positive.
As a parent, it’s your responsibil-ity to establish wise guidelines in your home that steer clear of games that glamorize life’s ugly side.
Second, even positive games can be a time bandit and lead to addictive behaviors if not kept in check. So es-tablish reasonable time limits. In our home, we used an egg timer to enforce a 30-minutes-per-day rule.

ESTEEM: Difference in attitude
Within control groups, McCullough found dra-matic differences in attitude and perspective and greatly divergent levels of self-esteem, self-love, awareness and appreciation.
According to McCullough, people who consciously focus on gratitude — a deep and abiding apprecia-tion of all the good things in their lives – experience greater emotional well-being and physical health as compared to those who focused on the lack of or took things for granted.
McCullough goes on to say that people who cul-tivate a grateful outlook feel better about life as a whole, experience greater levels of joy and happi-ness, feel more optimistic about the future, get sick less often, sleep better, experience less stress, enjoy higher levels of self-esteem and self-love, and gener-ally have more energy, enthusiasm, determination and focus.
The power of gratitude has been chronicled down through history. Philosophers and sages of every spiritual persuasion have cited gratitude as key to experiencing deeper levels of happiness, fulfilment and wellbeing. An early advocate of a daily gratitude practice was Dutch philosopher Rabbi Baruch Spi-noza. In the 17th century Spinoza suggested we begin each day by asking ourselves three questions: who or what inspired me today, who brought me happi-ness today and what brought me comfort and deep peace today? Spinoza declared that answering the three questions daily would lead to a profound inner
transformation. Nearly 10 years ago now, I started keeping a grati-
tude journal. I fill it out every morning as I reflect back on the previous day. I start each page with the sentence stem, “Today I am grateful for …” and I am always able to find a reason. Some people like to fill out a gratitude journal in the evening before going to bed. The time of day isn’t important but rather it is the consistent practice of taking a few minutes every day to consciously focus on our blessings that is key.
Sometimes I like to go for a walk through the neighbourhood or along a path and ponder the many things I have to be grateful for in my life. On my walks I have thought about loving relationships, enduring friendships, my home, my job — even the neighbourhood or path itself as deserving of my grat-itude. As I walk, I try to pay attention to everything: the sights, the sounds, the smells and feelings, both physical and emotional — sometimes even taste, as I did the other night when I picked some saskatoon berries off a tree growing along the path.
Another way to express gratitude is to write a let-ter to the people who have had a profound effect on your life. In my self-esteem counselling, I suggest to clients that they choose three people and write a letter expressing gratitude for all the gifts they have received from these individuals and, if possible, to deliver the gratitude letter in person.
Many times, the recipient of the letter had no idea of the impact he or she had on the life of the other person. I have also known people who chose to write letters to late friends and relatives and found the ex-ercise equally as powerful and rewarding.
Though the spoken word certainly has power, the written word can be read, re-read and treasured for years, creating joy, love and gratitude.
“I don’t have to chase extraordinary moments to find happiness,” wrote American author Brene Brown. “It’s right in front of me if I’m paying atten-
tion and practising gratitude.”If you want to start attracting more positive expe-
riences into your life, start expressing gratitude, ap-preciation and love for the people and things in your life. As for me, I’m already making plans to take my granddaughter on a gratitude walk along a nearby path.
She likes saskatoon berries and I just happen to know where to find them growing in glorious abun-dance.
Murray Fuhrer is a self-esteem expert and facilita-tor. His new book is entitled Extreme Esteem: The Four Factors. For more information on self-esteem, check the Extreme Esteem website at www.extremeesteem.ca.
HEALTH: Mind and soulBut I will also begin thinking of the inner health
of my mind and soul — knowing these entities are just as important as the body.
This life may not be a perfect one, but it is ours. By making these positive changes, I will be trailblaz-ing a path of mindfulness and good for my children to follow in. And that idea fills me with a happiness that in unexplainable.
And I will start by happily pouring a bowl of ce-real and ’nanas for my two beautiful children.

Adapt marital roles to changing health crises
Want a low-stress vacation? Experts suggest these things
BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
Need a vacation to recover from that vacation? You’re not alone, say experts from the University of Ottawa.
Typical vacations do not decrease long-term work-related stress levels, according to Jane O’Reilly, a human resources professor. In other words, an employee goes away, stress goes down. He comes back, stress goes up.
What’s more, if vacation experi-ences are “resource-consuming”, they can leave someone even feeling more drained than before, said another human resources professor, Laurent Lapierre.
Experts say that with a little plan-ning, though, these pitfalls can be avoided.
Here are four ways to get more rest, have more fun, and avoid wasting that precious summer reprieve.
1) When people experience work-related stress during a vacation, it can be because they are “output-oriented” individuals, according to management professor Michael Miles.
“They worry about getting this done and getting that done,” he said.
Some people just need to recognize that this need to be productive is an aspect of their personality, he said.
“The one thing that I found for my-self — I fall into that category — is that I make goals for my vacation itself. So for example, one of my goals for this vacation is to clean out my garage, which sounds really crazy, but it’s real-ly relaxing. It’s enjoyable because it’s a goal and I can check it off and feel like I’ve achieved something.”
Working on personal projects and checking items off a “bucket list” can both be fulfilling alternatives to work, according to O’Reilly.
2) O’Reilly suggests two time-man-agement strategies, to reduce stress before and after a vacation, in her own list of helpful tips.
Before leaving, she suggests making a list of all the things that need to be done, and resisting the temptation to leave things for after the break.
Miles added that this is an espe-cially rewarding strategy for output-oriented people, because it “fits natu-rally for the personality that is trying to achieve things.”
Leaving on a high note of produc-tivity and accomplishment, he said, will help output-oriented people relax
once they’re away.O’Reilly’s second strategy is to “be
mentally and logistically prepared for your workload upon your return. Or-ganize your tasks based upon what is most important to get done.” This ap-proach, of doing the big chunks first and working through details later, is a habit of successful and productive people in general, said Miles.
3) While there are vacations that consume resources like time and ener-gy, there are also “resource-providing” ones, said Lapierre.
Colloquially, these are laid-back vacations that help people “recharge their batteries.”
He suggests dedicating time off to doing things that promote relaxation — such as massages, yoga, using a sau-na, going swimming — or cultivating a talent, hobby or passion.
And, if a person must reflect on work while they’re away, Lapierre sug-gests focusing on the positive aspects of work rather than ruminating on the negative.
“Taking the time to have positive work reflections and conversations with others is a highly recommended thing to do,” he said.
He also suggests keeping a vacation plan simple, so there aren’t any unex-pected, stressful hassles on the way, as these drain resources and can make a holiday feel like more trouble than it’s worth.
4) Don’t count on the benefits of a single, restful vacation to carry through the entire calendar year, said Lapierre.
“Hoping that your annual vaca-tion time is going to be the time when you’re going to recharge your batteries or recover from work really is foolish. It’s absolutely foolish,” he said.
“There’s actually some pretty im-pressive, compelling research that shows that time that you spend away from work, that’s evenings and week-ends, really has to be used wisely.”
Miles recommends people give themselves time and space for mini-vacations on a daily basis.
He said he encourages people to take 20-minute walks during their lunch breaks.
On a scale both large and small, he says, “paradoxically, when you pull yourself away from work, when you come back to work, you’re more pro-ductive.”

Putting the hammer
down
BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
GLASGOW — Sultana Fri-zell spent her pre-Games training camp in Portugal working out in her bathing suit, throwing someone else’s hammers. Her bag had been lost in transit.
It wasn’t the perfect prep-aration Frizell had planned, but she shrugged it off Monday night by capturing hammer throw gold at the Common-wealth Games — breaking the Games record three times in the process.
“I didn’t have my hammers or my throwing gear. Or under-wear. For about six days,” Fri-zell said with a smirk. “That was fun. I threw in my bathing suit.”
The 29-year-old from Perth, Ont., threw 71.69 metres to claim gold, but left Hampden Park disappointed that she didn’t come closer to the Cana-dian record of 75.73 she threw earlier this season.
“I’m very happy to win gold again and move the Common-wealth record a little bit fur-ther,” she said. “It wasn’t as far as I would have liked it ... I was feeling in good form and I thought I was going to do a little more today, but it wasn’t in the tank today.
“But you know what, it was a great day.”
Tim Nedow of Brockville, Ont., added a bronze in the men’s shot put later in the night, and Damian Warner of London, Ont., ended Day 1 of the decathlon with an 84-point lead.
Swimmer Audrey Lacroix of Pont-Rouge, Que., also won gold for Canada on Monday, finishing first in the women’s 200-metre butterfly. Brittany MacLean of Toronto made the podium at the pool as well, winning bronze in the wom-en’s 800-metre freestyle and breaking her own Canadian record in the process.
Edmonton weightlifter Ma-rie-Josee Ares-Pilon captured
bronze in the 69-kilogram women’s class and Pascal Pla-mondon of Ascot Corner, Que., won bronze in the men’s 85-ki-lo category.
“I was nervous, but not more than any other competi-tion,” said Ares-Pilon. “Every time I perform I become a lit-tle nervous but that is healthy and normal. I try to stay in the moment because that is what is important.”
Canada was tied for sixth in the overall medal stand-ings with 24 total medals (nine gold, three silver, 12 bronze). Australia is in top spot with 87 (30-25-32).
Frizell came in as the de-
fending champion, having won the event four years ago in New Delhi, India. She opened the night with a throw of 70.55 to break the Games record of 68.92 she’d set in qualifying a day earlier.
She bettered that again on her fifth of six throws. The fans that squeezed into Hamp-den Park — Scotland’s famous national soccer stadium — to watch the first day of track and field roared when she stepped into the circle for her final throw.
“I thought, ’I’d better not screw it up’ ... pffft, ... and I did,” said Frizell, who ended the night with a 70.60 toss.
The five-foot-10 thrower was actually a figure skater growing up, competing in ice dance until she was 16 — a sport that’s a polar opposite to hammer throwing.
“We look pretty twirling,” she joked, about hammer throwing. “I just grew too much for figure skating, for jumping and stuff. Every year I would grow.”
She also played volleyball and basketball in high school and then, forced to pick be-tween track and soccer during the spring high school season, she went with track.

Massive Calgary camp kicks off
Hockey Canada’s U17 renovations
BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
CALGARY — Hockey Can-ada begins an overhaul of its under-17 men’s program this week by bringing together more than 100 of the country’s best 16-year-olds for a new camp.
Along with 54 coaches, equipment managers and med-ical staff, the nine-day camp in Calgary will be “massive,” according to Scott Salmond, vice-president of hockey op-erations at Hockey Canada.
“You can imagine how many trainers we need,” Sal-mond said.
Ninety-six skaters and a dozen goaltenders from across Canada will descend Tuesday upon the Markin MacPhail Centre, which houses Hockey Canada’s headquarters, an Olympic-sized rink and three NHL-sized surfaces.
The horde will be divided into teams. In addition to play-ing three games, each player will participate in on-ice skills development and learn nation-al-team systems.
Their fitness will be tested, they’ll be fitted for equipment and they’ll participate in semi-nars on everything from media relations to nutrition.
Among the players sum-moned are Toronto defence-man Jake Chychrun, the first overall pick in this year’s OHL draft by Sarnia.
Defenceman Luke Green of Bedford, N.S., was the first player drafted in the QMJHL by Saint John.
Edmonton forward Tyler Benson was chosen first in last year’s WHL draft by Vancou-ver.
Forward Jeff de Wit and de-fenceman Josh Mahura of the Red Deer Rebels are also at-tending the camp.
Sixty-six invitees will be chosen to represent their country at the revamped World Under-17 Hockey Chal-lenge. The date of the annual tournament held in Canada has been changed as well as the host country’s participa-tion in it.
Instead of five teams rep-resenting Atlantic, Quebec, Ontario, West and Pacific re-
gions, Canada will enter three teams mixing players from dif-ferent parts of the country.
That means the Canadians will now play in the tourna-ment under the banner of their country, and not their geographical region.
“We expect to have a large majority of our players identi-fied at the camp and then go out and scout the remaining few on the bubble once the camp is over and before we name our teams,” head scout Ryan Jankowski said.
The World Under-17 Hock-ey Challenge has traditionally been held in late December during its 22 years, but the event will be Nov. 2-8 in Sar-nia, Ont.
That date was changed to allow young hockey players to go home for the December holiday break.
For those major junior teams with players away at the world under-20 champion-ships, the younger players on those clubs will get more ice time, Salmond said.
Canadians in the Under-17 Challenge have gone on to play for the under-18, un-der-20, world and Olympic men’s teams.
The tournament includes European countries as well as the United States.
Ilya Kovalchuk, Rick Nash, Marc-Andre Fleury, Alex Ovechkin, Patrick Kane and Nathan MacKinnon are among the 1,300 NHL draft picks who have participated in it, accord-ing to Hockey Canada.
The new camp was con-ceived to give Canada’s 16-year-olds intensive prepa-ration for the world stage sooner under the slogan “The Canadian way,” Salmond ex-plained.
“Our idea is to identify our best players earlier and then to have them play together more often,” he said. “When they were in a regionalized model, I think we were still doing a good job of identify-ing our best players region-ally, but not nationally. They stayed in regional model until they came through to under-18s.”

Toronto Blue Jays’ Ryan Goins dives safely back to first base on a pick-off attempt by Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Clay Buchholz during the fourth inning of a baseball game at Fenway Park in Boston, Monday.
Blue Jays put a beating on Red Sox in series opener
BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Toronto 14 Boston 1BOSTON — Melky Cabre-
ra’s second homer sailed over the left field wall and smashed a car window across the street.
Just a little extra damage in a game when the Toronto Blue Jays hammered the Bos-ton Red Sox.
Cabrera homered from both sides of the plate and drove in five runs, R.A. Dickey pitched three-hit ball for seven innings and the Blue Jays won 14-1 on Monday night.
“He didn’t know” his three-run homer in a nine-run sixth inning had cracked the wind-shield, Cabrera said through a translator. “He saw that after the game.”
Dickey’s knuckleball was so good, he could have done with-out some of those runs.
“I kind of wish they could divide them up over, like, three starts,” he said. “(I) al-most kind of wish we’d have only scored two runs because I felt like I had that kind of knuckleball tonight and saved this outing for when I gave up five, but I’ll take it.”
The Blue Jays won for the sixth time in seven games while the Red Sox lost one day after stopping a five-game slide that began in Toronto with three losses.
Cabrera homered into Bos-ton’s bullpen in right field af-ter Jose Reyes led off the game with a walk. Cabrera made it
9-0 in the sixth with his 14th of the season.
Ryan Goins had four hits and four RBIs for Toronto.
Dickey (9-10) had a season-high 10 strikeouts, allowed a run and walked one as he won for the third time in 10 starts. But against the Red Sox he’s 3-0 with 21 strikeouts and two walks this season.
Clay Buchholz (5-7) left the game after allowing the first three batters to reach in the sixth with one run scoring on a double by Goins.
“They hit the pitches I was missing with,” Buchholz said.
Felix Doubront came in and faced 10 batters, allowing six runs, six hits and two walks. He got his only outs on a sacri-fice fly and a forceout.
Everyone in the Blue Jays’ lineup except Reyes scored in the sixth, and Munenori Kawa-saki scored twice. Toronto’s 14 runs matched its season-high against Cincinnati on June 20.
Goins had given the Blue Jays a 4-0 lead with a two-run double in the fourth.
Dickey retired the first six batters and struck out at least one in each of his seven in-nings. He allowed a double in the third to Stephen Drew, an infield single in the fifth to Shane Victorino and an RBI single in the sixth by David Ortiz that made it 13-1.
TRAINER’S ROOMBlue Jays: With first base-
man Edwin Encarnacion hav-ing a setback in rehabbing his strained right quadriceps, the
Blue Jays obtained third base-man Danny Valencia from the Kansas City Royals for right-hander Liam Hendriks and catcher Erik Kratz. Toronto’s regular third baseman, Juan Francisco, has been filling in at first. Red Sox: Catcher Da-vid Ross hobbled home on a painful right heel on Ortiz’s single in the sixth. Ross be-lieves the pain is caused by plantar fasciitis.
ON DECKBlue Jays: Marcus Stroman
(6-2) pitches for the Blue Jays on Tuesday night and will have a tough time matching his performance against Bos-ton last Thursday in Toronto. He allowed his only hit when Victorino led off the seventh with a single in Toronto’s 8-0 win. Stroman left after that in-ning.
Red Sox: Rubby De La Rosa (3-3) makes his second consec-utive start against Stroman.
ALL-STAR SURGECabrera had his sixth mul-
tihit game and Toronto im-proved to 8-3 since the All-Star break. “The All-Star break did him some good,” Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. “From the looks of it right now, I think the All-Star break did us all some good.”
NO RELIEFDoubront has complained
about being moved to the bull-pen after going 2-4 with a 5.19 ERA in 10 starts. In seven re-lief appearances, he’s allowed 11 earned runs in nine in-nings. Please see CAMP on Page B7
Calgary Stampeders sign
running back Hugh Charles to practice roster
THE CANADIAN PRESS
CALGARY — The Cal-gary Stampeders signed running back Hugh Charles to their practice roster Monday.
Charles, in his sev-enth CFL season, was released by the Ed-monton Eskimos at the end of training camp and played one game with the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
In 55 career games with Saskatchewan and Edmonton, Charles has rushed 401 times for 2,170 yards and 15 touch-downs. He also has 82 career receptions for 995 yards and five touch-downs and has returned 78 kickoffs for 1,718 yards.
“Hugh is a CFL vet-eran who over the years has demonstrated great ability as a runner, a re-ceiver out of the back-field and a kick return-er,” Stampeders general manager John Hufnagel said in a release. “With our current injury situa-tion, Hugh provides some very valuable depth for us at the running back and kick-returner posi-tions.”
Charles first joined the league as a free agent with Saskatchewan in 2008.
He played 21 games with the Roughriders be-fore being traded to Ed-monton in October 2011.
Wimbledon finalist Eugenie
Bouchard seeded sixth at next
month’s Rogers Cup
TORONTO — Wim-bledon finalist Eugenie Bouchard will be the sixth seed at the upcom-ing Rogers Cup women’s tennis tournament while fellow Canadian Milos Raonic will be seeded seventh in the men’s event.
Top-ranked Serena Williams of the United States is the top women’s seed and world No. 1 No-vak Djokovic of Serbia is the top men’s seed. The women will play Aug. 1-10 at Uniprix Stadi-um in Montreal and the men will play Aug. 2-10 at Rexall Centre in To-ronto.
The seedings follow the official ATP World Tour and WTA rankings released Monday. Each tournament features 15 of the top-16 ranked players.
The top eight seeds in each draw will receive first-round byes. Wil-liams won the women’s tournament last year while Spain’s Rafael Nadal beat Raonic, from Thornhill, Ont., in the men’s final.
Nadal is seeded sec-ond this year, ahead of Roger Federer and Stan Wawrinka of Switzerland and Czech player Tomas Berdych. The women’s top five is rounded out by Li Na of China, Petra Kvitova of the Czech Re-public, Agnieszka Rad-wanska of Poland and Russia’s Maria Sharapo-va.
World No. 8 Juan Mar-tin Del Potro has with-drawn due to his ongo-ing recovery from wrist surgery.
Wimbledon semifinal-ist Grigor Dimitrov of Bulgaria replaces him as the No. 8 seed and will get a first-round bye.
Bouchard, from West-mount, Que., reached her first Wimbledon final earlier this month before losing to Kvitova.
Raonic reached the men’s semifinals at the All England Club before falling to Federer, who lost to Djokovic in the fi-nal.
The Rogers Cup tour-nament draws will be held Friday.
Gloves off in civil lawsuit over fight between hockey
player and Alberta man
CALGARY — The gloves are coming off in a civil lawsuit involving a Calgary Flames’ forward prospect and a southern Alberta man.
In June, Jayson Eyma sued Michael Ferland over a July 2012 scuffle outside of a bar in Co-chrane.
Eyma claims that Fer-land sucker-punched him in the face, fractur-ing a bone that required surgery.
Statements of claim contain allegations that have not been proven in court.
Ferland responded to the lawsuit Monday, noting that he was aquit-ted in June by a jury of criminal charges on the matter.
In his statement of defence, Ferland denies any wrongdoing and has filed a countersuit seek-ing damages for the fight
and for malicious pros-ecution.
“Mr. Ferland relied on the jury in the crimi-nal case to see what re-ally happened that night and his being found not guilty speaks for itself,” Michael Bates, Ferland’s lawyer, said in a release Monday.
“If testifying before a second jury is what it will take to find justice in the civil case, my cli-ent is fully prepared for that.”
Eyma is now entitled to file his defence to Fer-land’s allegations.
A jury found that Fer-land, 22, acted in self-de-fence when he threw a punch, knocking out an-other patron outside the Stageline Saloon.
Both the left-winger and his girlfriend testi-fied at his trial.
Court heard Ferland was ambushed as he was leaving the bar.
Ferland played in the minors last season.
BY JOSH ALDRICHADVOCATE STAFF
It has been a tough season for the Red Deer Renegades Alberta Major Soccer League women’s team, that much was expected.
What wasn’t expected is the seem-ing lack of support from the older age groups within the Red Deer City Soc-cer Association when it came to sup-plying players.
This weekend, they played in 30 de-gree heat on Saturday and Sunday with a short bench and no reserve players from Red Deer. They wrangled up two call-ups on Saturday from Calgary, but were unable to get any from Red Deer for either game. On Saturday with 13 players they won their first game of the season, 2-1 over the Calgary Alli-ance. On Sunday, with the minimum 11 players, they were thrashed 8-0 by the Calgary Callies.
Head coach Paul Morigeau, who is also the president of the association, unloaded Sunday night.
“For youth players — U18 even U16 — the best place for them to be is play-ing up with their best competition lev-el,” he said. “You don’t want to wreck the team below, but the entire struc-ture is supposed to be set up where if
you need players, the team below gives you players, the team below gives them players, everyone is better off.”
Both the U-18 and U-16 teams were involved in tournaments on the week-end.
“I mean jeez, even one would have been nice. You can imagine how these girls are sitting there, giving up their weekend to represent Red Deer and the Renegades and they got nothing, they get no support, not even one play-er,” he said, adding that the U18 team has a roster of 17 players.
The U16 team, had 13 players for their games and had three players called up from the U14 team.
Morigeau says when he was the U18 girls coach two years ago, he had five players available as call ups, whether the U18s had a game or not.
On Monday, however, he said he did receive a palatable explanation as to why they received no reinforcements, but still said in an email “maybe more communication and emphasis needs to be put on guiding players to play AMSL, as was done in the past, so that 10 or 11 players don’t have to carry the whole weight of soccer in Red Deer.”
Ado Sarcevic, the head of soccer operations for RDCSA, said that it was up to the players and their parents if they wanted to play for the major
league team. Players cannot be forced to play for the major league team. They chose to play for their own teams on the weekend. The U18 have a young roster this year filled out mostly with first year players.
He also says this situation should not be a surprise to organizers and managers this year, everyone was well aware this season was going to be a challenge for the struggling club.
“We share in his frustration, but I don’t see this as a situation,” said Sarcevic. “We all knew it was going to be an ongoing issue this year because the numbers when we had the tryouts when we made those teams — we just didn’t have enough interest and bod-ies.”
He does give Morigeau full credit for keeping the team going this year in trying conditions from the outset, but he says for the team to be successful major changes will need to be made.
One of the big issues the club has is numbers of competitive players to pull from. Centres like Edmonton and Cal-gary have a population base of about a million people, 10 times the size of Red Deer. In the 18 and up age group,
players often drop the sport to pursue jobs and other ventures.
Morigeau did announce one big change on Monday in an effort to bet-ter build the major league program. The Renegades will enter an AMSL team in the Calgary indoor league for the first time.
“In this way the team and the play-ers will be preparing themselves all winter and hit the ground running in the spring rather then starting from scratch and ending up in the spot we found ourselves this year,” Morigeau said in an email.
But the underlying theme is bet-ter co-operaton by all parties needs to take place to make the Renegades a successful franchise.
“We need to work together, the Ren-egades, AMSL, and even Red Deer Col-lege,” said Sarcevic. “We need to be on the same page and everyone working together towards the major league and obviously the college — all of the play-ers that play major league in the north and south, they continue playing for the colleges or universities. And here that is not the case.”

Lack of support has Renegades reelingWOMEN’S SOCCER TEAM SAYS NOT ENOUGH SUPPORT COMING FROM MINOR PROGRAMS
SPORTSBRIEFS
GAMES: Game time“And I was going to throw. Because
I didn’t want to run,” Frizell said.Frizell reeled off one joke after an-
other with the media in the mixed zone after her event, but the thrower is a fierce competitor when she steps into the ring.
“It’s game time,” she explained. “You just walk out there like I walked out there today, and it’s game time.
“You come off, it’s relax time, you’re done, you left it all out there on the track and you’re done.”
Nedow, meanwhile, threw 20.59 to capture the shot put bronze in a field missing injured Canadian-record hold-er Dylan Armstrong.
O’Dayne Richards of Jamaican threw a Games-record 21.61 for gold, while Tom Walsh of New Zealand was second with 21.19.
“It was a great competition, two guys breaking the Commonwealth Games record, that just shows how stacked the field is,” Nedow said.
The 23-year-old trains with Frizell and Armstrong as part of the throws program coached by Anatoliy Bond-archuk and Derek Evely in Kamloops, B.C.
“We’re all fun on the side but when it comes to training, we’re serious,” Nedow said. “That helps a lot ... it’s al-most a competition every day.”
Warner, meanwhile, is on pace to win the men’s decathlon as the leader after Day 1. The 24-year-old from Lon-don, Ont., ran 10.29 in the 100 metres to begin the day, breaking the Games record held by British legend Daley Thompson.
“Yeah the 100 was good,” Warner said. “When I was about halfway down (the track), I thought, ’Please say 10.29.’ Just because I wanted to dip under that 10.30. I got it and I’m pretty happy with that.”
He finished the day just two points off where he was after Day 1 at last summer’s world championships where he won bronze. But he gave up about 100 points in the high jump, he said — 100 points that would have put him within striking distance of Michael Smith’s Canadian record of 8,626 he set in 1996.
“Pleased with everything except for high jump,” Warner said.
“I would have liked to get around the 2.05 range. But I guess I have to settle with 1.96 and make up the points
in other places.”Warner planned to head straight to
the athletes village for dinner, a mas-sage and then sleep before Day 2 be-gan at 10 o’clock Tuesday morning.
A rowdy crowd turned out to watch both the morning qualifying events and the evening finals at Hampden Park.
The storied stadium has been trans-formed for track and field by raising the surface almost two metres and extending the track over the existing lower eight rows of seats. Hampden Park seats 44,000 now, but it will be re-turned to a 52,000-seat soccer stadium following the Games.
CAMP: Best players“Now, we have the best players in
the country and they come all to one place. We end up picking three teams that will have no regional bias. Kids from Quebec will play with kids from Alberta. It gives us an opportunity for our best players to be mixed together and for them to play together more often.”
Of the 108 players summoned to Cal-gary, 10 are from B.C., 14 are Alber-tans, two are from Saskatchewan, six are Manitobans, Ontario has 40 and Quebec has 25.
Nova Scotia will have nine players at camp and there are two from New-foundland and Labrador.
The provincial branches of Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, North-west Territories, Nunavut and Yukon are not represented among the skaters.
“There are some branches who don’t have a player coming from the 108,” Salmond said.
“Part of our job is to work with our branches and those branches who feel like ’Hey, we didn’t have a player this year, we need to have more next year’ that helps us in our development. It encourages people to do more.”
Jankowski and four regional scouts compiled the camp roster. The head scout says the camp’s format will force those players considered the best in their region to compete harder for the opportunity to play in the under-17 tournament.
“He is now put out of his comfort zone and comparing himself to players from other areas,” Jankowski said.
The coaches of the Red, Black and White teams and the six assistants will run on-ice sessions. Sheldon Keefe of the OHL’s Sault Ste. Marie Grey-hounds, Dan Lambert of the WHL’s Kelowna Rockets and McGill Universi-ty’s Kelly Nobes are the head coaches.

Sterling loses in court, judge allows Clippers
sale to ex-Microsoft CEO
STORIES FROM PAGE B5
BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Embattled Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Ster-ling lost his attempt to block the $2 billion sale of the team to former Mi-crosoft CEO Steve Ballmer.
In allowing the deal to go forward, Superior Court Judge Michael Levanas sided Monday with Sterling’s estranged wife, Shelly Sterling, who negotiated the record sale after the NBA banned the 80-year-old billionaire for making offensive remarks about blacks.
Shelly Sterling sought the probate judge’s approval to ink the deal after taking over the family trust that owns the team because doctors found Don-ald Sterling had signs of Alzheimer’s disease and couldn’t manage his af-fairs.
The judge said Shelly Sterling had negotiated a good deal and the remov-al of her husband as a co-trustee was in good faith and not part of a secret plan to seize the team.
Shelly Sterling hugged her lawyer and wept after the judge explained his ruling from the bench.
“I can’t believe it’s over,” she said. “This is the best thing.”
An unusual provision of the ruling bars Donald Sterling from seeking a court-ordered delay of the sale as he appeals. His lawyers plan to seek per-mission from an appellate court to file an appeal.
Sterling was not in court for the rul-ing. Bobby Samini, one of his lawyers, said Sterling reacted calmly to the news and told his lawyers they had to keep battling on other fronts. Sterling testified during the case that he would fight the NBA until his death.
With lawsuits pending in state and federal courts, the ruling in Los Ange-les County Superior Court is unlikely to put an end to the bizarre saga that began in April when a recording sur-faced of Sterling scolding his young girlfriend for bringing black men to Clippers games.
The NBA moved quickly to ban Ster-ling for life and fined him $2.5 million.
Sterling was apologetic after the au-dio recording went viral, but his mea culpa backfired when he criticized Lakers great Magic Johnson, who had been photographed with Sterling’s girl-friend, as a bad role model for kids be-cause he had HIV. Sterling was round-ly condemned from locker rooms to the Oval Office, where President Barack Obama called Sterling’s remarks “in-credibly offensive racist statements.”
With the NBA threatening to seize the team and auction it, Sterling ini-tially gave his wife of 58 years per-mission to negotiate a sale but then refused to sign the $2 billion Ballmer deal, which would be a record price for an NBA team. He said he would sue the league instead and then re-voked the trust, which his lawyers said effectively killed the deal.

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
GLASGOW — Kemar Bailey-Cole did his best Usain Bolt imitation on Monday at the Commonwealth Games.
It wasn’t quite to the standard of his Jamaican teammate and train-ing partner — world record holder and double Olympic sprint cham-pion Bolt — but close enough for the 40,000-plus enraptured specta-tors at Hampden Park. And a Brit-ish sprinter — Englishman Adam Gemili — took the silver to add to the occasion.
Bailey-Cole won the 100 metres in a time of 10 seconds flat, well outside Bolt’s world record of 9.58. Gemili finished second in 10.10, with Nickel Ashmeade of Jamaica taking the bronze.
Blessing Okagbare of Nigeria won the women’s 100, Sultana Frizell of Canada took gold in the women’s hammer throw and O’Dayne Richards won the men’s shot put.
On the second-last night of swimming, Olympic 200-meter butterfly champion Chad le Clos added the 100 to his earlier 200 at Glasgow, while countryman Cameron van der Burgh won the 50 breaststroke. Sisters Cate and Bronte Campbell and Emma McKeon were 1-2-3 for Australia in the women’s 100 freestyle.
ROYAL WATCH: The second in line to the British throne vis-ited the games on Monday, and he brought along a few of his relatives. Prince William and his wife, the Duchess of Cambridge, watched gymnastics and boxing with William’s younger brother Prince Harry. And Prince Ed-ward, who is William and Harry’s uncle and son of Queen Elizabeth
II, brought his family to the table tennis competition.
DAVID TAKES GOLD: World squash champion Nicol David of Ma-laysia, the gold medallist from New Delhi in 2010, successfully defended her women’s singles title with a 12-10, 11-2, 11-5 win over Laura Massaro
of England in just 44 minutes. There was a brief stoppage in play in the third game when Massaro was hit in the face by David’s racket during a rally. Nick Matthew won the men’s singles gold when he beat fellow Englishman James Willstrop 11-9, 8-11, 11-5, 6-11, 11-5.

● The story titled Silverbacks win third straight provincial title in Mon-day’s Red Deer Advocate, should have said: “The senior C lacrosse team has been around four years and have now won their third Rocky Mountain La-crosse League title.”
● In Monday’s story in the Red Deer
Advocate “Rampage advance to provin-
cial finals for first time since 2007,” it
should read they will be joined by the
Saskatchewan SWAT out of the North,
not the St. Albert Crude.
