Boating season got off to a worrying start in May when zebra mussels were discovered on a boat at Sylvan Lake Sunbreaker’s Cove.

Though it appears that is as close as Central Alberta came to seeing the unwanted invasive species introduced into area lakes.

Alberta Environment and Parks spokesperson Charity Wallace said zebra or quagga mussels — a similar threat— were found on 10 boats so far this season. But all were caught at four border crossings into the province where mandatory inspections have been in place.

“In Central Alberta, specifically, it’s just been the one find,” said Wallace. “We’ve been catching them before they get any further in.”

Roving inspection teams have been holding regular information sessions and checks at provincial boat launches all summer and have not found any problems. Roving crews have been tar-geting Sylvan, Gull, Buffalo, Buck, Pine and Pigeon Lakes.

It’s a reassuring sign that the prov-ince’s stepped-up vigilance for inva-sive species seems to be working.

“Every step we take is a positive step and we haven’t found any in the waters yet.

“There’s always the threat of some-thing coming in. We do the best we can

at the inspection stations before they get in close to a lake.”

Besides boat inspections, the Alber-ta Environmental Monitoring Evalu-ation and Reporting Agency and Al-berta Agriculture have been testing water bodies for mussels and a plant invasive species known as Eurasian watermilfoil.

So far, they have all been coming up

clean.Quagga and zebra mussels move

from lake to lake by attaching them-selves to boats and other recreational equipment. Quagga mussels found in the Colorado River system in the U.S. are of particular concern because it is a popular destination for Alberta snowbirds. Zebra mussels were discov-ered in Lake Winnipeg, Manitoba in

October 2013. The mussels have been a huge problem in the Great Lakes where they have clogged up water in-take pipes and done millions of dollars in damage.

Uncooperative weather hindered Red Deer’s Fiestaval from showing its true colours.

For the second year in a row, rain has thinned attendance at the Festival Latino now in its sixth year.

Organizer Christian Greiffenstein said there was plenty of online sup-port, including 3,000 Facebook likes, for the event in the days leading up to Saturday. Local hype was also build-ing.

But then the rains came, which left the beer garden empty and few doz-en spectators huddled under building overhangs and umbrellas early Satur-day afternoon.

“We haven’t really seen how much we can grow,” said Greiffenstein.

There was no denying the enthusi-asm of vendors, volunteers, entertain-ers, food tuck operators and specta-tors.

Anna Dolorier came from Calgary with her business El Dorado Treasur-ers, selling brightly coloured fashion items and finger puppets from Peru.

This was her third year in Red Deer and enjoyed the first two visits.

“That’s why I keep coming back.”She was philosophical about the

weather and her sales.“This is business. Sometimes it’s a

lot, sometimes it’s less.”Dolorier, who immigrated to Cana-

da from Peru 10 years ago, said part of the reason she comes is to support the Latin community and its events. She will be at Calgary’s Fiestaval later this month.

Bearj and Ashley Melanson just missed out on the sausages at the Red Deer Public Market and happened across Fiestaval on their quest for lunch.

It was a stroke of luck for the self-confessed foodies, who got their first tastes of arracheras at the booth run by Red Deer’s Salvadoran Canadian Association.

RDSO AT BOWER PONDS

FIESTAVAL: Still smiling“Definitely, a first-timer,” Ashley said of her

unique lunch. “The sauce is insanely spicy.”Bearj gave the popular Peruvian dish a good re-

view as well. “They’re awesome.”Anna Thomsen was huddled under her umbrella

taking in the sights next to the Chair Tease Dance

booth, where she is a participant. Chair Tease has supported the festival since its first year.

Thomsen said she was enjoying the event despite the weather.

“It’s good. I wish it was a little warmer, but other than that.”

Juan Quijada, president of the local chapter of the Salvadoran Canadian Association, was still smiling despite the rain.

“We enjoy it a lot,” he said. “We love this city.”He’s pleased to see the festival is growing and ex-

pects it will continue as Red Deer’s Latin American

population is increasing each year.Fiestaval event manager Janice Shimek said the

weather is disappointing but she noted at 7 a.m. all of the volunteers were ready to go.

“I guess we’re all resilient Albertans. We do what we can.”

The Latin community is also hard to keep down despite the clouds.

“I think that’s one thing about this culture. It’s a very upbeat culture. They love their food and they love their music.”

Red Deerians lined the hill around the Bower Ponds stage to listen to the Red Deer Symphony Orchestra’s take on a number of Canadian folk and pop music hits on Sunday afternoon. Over 150 people attended the free outdoor concert. The symphony orchestra also performed Saturday in Sylvan Lake with the Brubeck Brothers.

Suspect found in Ponoka, charged with attempted murder

The suspect in the shooting of a 20-year-old man has been located and arrested.

29-year-old Mitchell Potts was arrested Friday night in the town of Ponoka at approximately 9 p.m. A 22 calibre rifle — believed to be used in the crime — was recovered at another location.

Potts is charged with attempted murder, aggra-vated assault, and ten other weapons offences.

Police had been looking for Potts following the shooting of a 20-year-old man on the Samson Rodeo Grounds on the Samson Indian Reserve on Aug. 8. The name of the victim has not been released.

The victim has since been released from hospital. Potts is set to appear in Wetaskiwin Provincial Court on Aug. 20th.

Bedford withdraws from NDP nomination race to support Harris

Evan Bedford has dropped out of the NDP can-didacy race in Red Deer-Mountain View, to give his support to Paul Harris.

“I have no hesitation in endorsing Paul in the up-coming NDP nomination contest. I feel that he is the candidate who is the most capable of unseating the Conservative incumbent. I look forward to that day in October when we will see strong representation across Alberta, and particularly in our riding.” Bed-ford said in a statement.

The NDP nomination meeting is set for Monday, August 24th.

Harris and Dianne Macaulay are both seeking the nomination.

Four die in five-vehicle crash on Highway 16 west of Jasper

JASPER — Four people are dead and more than a dozen others are injured after police in Alberta say they believe a pickup truck crashed into oncoming traffic near Jasper.

RCMP say the truck was headed east on Highway 16 on Friday night near the Alberta-B.C. boundary when it collided with several oncoming vehicles, in-cluding a westbound pickup truck.

The male driver of the eastbound pickup, along with two males and one female in the westbound truck, all died in the collision.

Police say three other vehicles were involved in the crash, with an additional 15 people suffering in-juries.

The highway was closed for several hours after the crash and police reported there was heavy rain in the area.

The cause of the crash is under investigation.

Rugby star Madell carries flag at closing

ceremonyALBERTAN HELPED LEAD

CANADA TO GOLD

PARAPAN AM GAMES

A2 RED DEER ADVOCATE Monday, Aug. 17, 2015

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Zak Madell was chosen as Canada’s

flag-bearer for the closing ceremony after leading

his wheelchair rugby team to a gold medal at the

Parapan American Games.

And in the moments after he was handed the flag,

Madell deflected the praise onto his teammates.

The 21-year-old from Okotoks, scored 34 goals

in Canada’s thrilling 57-54 victory over arch-rival

United States on Friday night, but Madell is an

offensive target in a sport where players take on

significantly different roles depending on their level

of mobility.

“I get to go out and score the goals, and get the

glory, but really I couldn’t be doing it without my

low-pointers clearing the path and just making my

life easy for me,” Madell said.

Rugby players are classified between 0.5 to 3.5.

The higher the number, the better the mobility.

Madell, who lost his legs and fingers to a staph

infection when he was 10 years old, is a 3.5.

The low-point players mainly run interference for

the goal-scorers.

The Canadians’ victory, in front of a full house at

the Hershey Centre in Mississauga, Ont., clinched

them a spot in the Paralympics next summer in Rio.

Madell said Canada’s chef de mission Elisabeth

Walker-Young informed Madell of the flag-bearer

honour in the dressing room after the game.

“It’s been truly such an honour to be selected for

this,” he said, a couple of hours before the ceremony

at Nathan Phillips Square.

“I was just speechless, totally blindsided me,

there are so many deserving athletes at these Games,

and it’s an honour to be there leading them into this

next step, Rio 2016.”

Walker-Young called Madell — who also

led the Canadians in scoring at the 2012 London

Paralympics, where they won silver — a phenom and

rugby rock star.

“Despite having experience meteoric success

at a very young age, he remains humble, down to

earth, and dedicated to constantly raising the bar for

himself and his teammates,” Walker-Young said.

“Audiences cheer for his intensity, his aggression,

and competitors respect his sportsmanship and his

unbridled love for the game.”

Boccia player Marco Dispaltro carried Canada’s

flag into the opening ceremonies.


BEIRUT — Two political parties in the Middle East designated as terror groups by Canada predict the Islam-ic State movement won’t survive and question why they’re blacklisted when co-operation could defeat the common enemy.

Representatives of both Hezbollah and Hamas in Lebanon have separate-ly condemned ISIL in rare meetings with The Canadian Press.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper has denounced the jihadist militants, a position he has used to buttress Canada’s involvement in the U.S.-led coalition conducting airstrikes in Iraq and Syria.

National security is a leading issue in the Oct. 19 federal election.

ISIL is “not accepted” by most Muslims represented by Hamas, said its boss in Lebanon, Osama Hamdan.

“In Gaza, we do have the resolution to deal harshly and prevent these groups,” he said.

A source close to Hezbollah’s top leadership said extremist movements “mushroom, but they never last and don’t find a place with moderate Sunnis and Shias.

“There will always be radical thinking in the world,” said the man, who agreed to speak on anonymity, through a translator.

“We had called for the largest coalition to fight terrorism. We had also called upon religious scholars in this region to condemn this phenomenon.”

A political analyst with the American University of Beirut said the tough talk could signal more shifting alliances.

“It’s possible you could have Canada and the U.S. working with Hezbollah and Hamas against ISIL if they’re seen as a common threat — which they are,” said Rami Khouri, who has 45 years of experience in the region.

“But it’s not happening right now. If it did happen, it would be in different political circumstances.”

Canada has joined the United States and Israel in outlawing Hezbollah and Hamas.

S o m e c o u n t r i e s , i n c l u d i n g Australia, blacklist just their military wings, while the Lebanese government recognizes the party and its MPs.

The federal government describes Hezbollah as a “radical Shia group” ideologically inspired by the Iranian revolution. It calls Hamas a “radical Islamist-nationalist terrorist organization” that emerged from the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Public Safety Canada has posted online profiles of the two organizations, outlining terror acts including the 1983 suicide bombing of U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut by Hezbollah and suicide attacks on Israelis by Hamas.

It’s clear that whatever party forms the next government in Canada, ISIL will still be considered an enemy.

Harper has said it would be “absolutely foolish” not to go after

the militants before they can come after Canada. Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau favours training local troops, while NDP Leader Tom Mulcair has rejected the mission as “wrong headed” because it’s led by the U.S.

The Hezbollah source said that ideally, Canada would be an ally.

“It’s a country that we respect.”He noted that some Lebanese living

in Canada support Hezbollah’s cause by “praying” and providing “political support.”

Hezbollah shouldn’t be on Canada’s list of banned terror entities, he said.

“What did we do in Canada to be designated a terror group?” he asked, adding it shouldn’t be incumbent upon Hezbollah to persuade Canadian officials to scrub the group from its blacklist.

The meetings with The Canadian Press took place during Ramadan last month, inside boardrooms of multi-storey buildings within Hezbollah-controlled quadrants of Beirut’s southern suburbs. The source close to Hezbollah said the group might be open to co-operation with non-typical allies — such as the U.S. — against the militants.

“Canada is part of the American system. When the U.S. designated us as a terrorist organization, Canada did the same,” he said.

“There isn’t any justification to be on the terrorist list, but (Canada calls) fighting Israel terrorism. We say, ’No, it is resistance, not terrorism.”’

Hamas’ chief pointed to Canada’s economic and policy alignment with Israel over Palestine as a source of animosity.

Protesters in the West Bank hurled shoes at former Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird’s convoy during a trip last January.

“This is one of the major problems. But we believe you can’t create relations by throwing shoes or stones at the others,” Hamdan said.

“The one who closed the doors is the West, not Hamas.”

The Department of Public Safety declined comment , while the Department of Foreign Affairs did not respond to interview requests.

Khouri said Canada’s government used to be “more rational” in labelling groups in the Middle East, adding ISIL’s actions may be repulsive but the movement doesn’t particularly threaten the West.

“Western governments like the Canadian government — this one in particular — vastly exaggerate (ISIL’s threat),” he said.

“It’s basically playing on the ignorance of voters and their emotional fears.”

TORONTO — Many would consider the sound of kids gleefully playing out-doors a natural soundtrack of the sum-mer.

But one family in Pickering, Ont., located east of Toronto, was told the sound of their kids splashing in their backyard pool was deemed unreason-ably disruptive by a neighbour.

On the very first day of summer va-cation, Danielle Honsberger said she received a card from the municipality concerning a neighbour’s noise com-plaint.

It was later followed by a formal written notice.

“We didn’t even know that we had offended anybody, and if they had spoken directly to us, we could have avoided this whole situation,” said Honsberger, a mother of three chil-dren, aged seven, nine and 11.

“I would have been embarrassed and very respectful and been on the noise right away —but they never gave us that opportunity.

“I am a parent who is very present and very mindful of how we are heard in the community.”

Across the country, municipalities are frequently forced to intervene when residents file complaints about noise disrupting their peace and quiet.

In Ottawa, officials say a total of 6,152 noise-related complaints were filed to the city between the beginning of the year and Aug. 11, with just under half related to loud music and about 1,500 loud shouting.

In 2013, Saskatoon received 1,694 noise complaints and 1,268 complaints specifically about noisy parties.

While statistics were not available, Winnipeg officials said most noise complaints in that city are typically about the roar of construction machin-ery and neighbours’ air conditioners.

Susan Logan, executive director of the non-profit Mediation & Restor-ative Justice Centre in Edmonton, said neighbour disputes represent the larg-est percentage of their caseload.

Issues arise all year long, from com-plaints over placing snow on a neigh-bour’s lawn — or simply not shovelling — to overgrown trees, she said.

Complainants are encouraged to ap-proach their neighbour about their an-noyances rather than leaving the task to an outsider.

“If you got a letter in the mail that said: ’One of your neighbours has an issue and would you like to call us so that we can talk about it,’ you’re going to be defensive right (from) the begin-ning,” Logan said.

“We’re trying as much as possible to set a stage from the very beginning that’s a stage of collaboration.”

Eva Malisius, program head of con-flict analysis and management pro-grams at Royal Roads University in Victoria, said the first step towards resolving a dispute over noise should involve telling a neighbour directly how they’ve been affected by the dis-ruption.

“Just having that opportunity to hear the other side, usually, neigh-bours are very open to that. If you do file a complaint, that already escalates it,” Malisius said.

Failing that, many communities of-fer mediation services with a neutral third party offering help, she noted. If all of those steps don’t lead to success, then a formal complaint can be an op-tion.

Mediators generally don’t try to con-vince either neighbour that they’re right or wrong, Logan said. Instead, they focus on having each side reflect on the situation and determine wheth-er they’d like to address the issue fur-ther.

“We try to move people from a posi-tion on something — so ’You have to cut the tree’ — to a position of ’Why would cutting the tree be of value?’ And: ’Is there an alternative to cutting the tree?” Logan said.

“Just going over to your neighbour and saying: ’This is what I want you to do,’ or ’This is what I need you to do’ isn’t going to help the situation.”

Kim Thompson, manager of Pick-ering’s bylaw enforcement services, confirmed that an official complaint has been filed about the Honsberg-er family but wouldn’t go into details about the case. She said no charges have been laid.

“In general, if there’s a noise com-plaint during daytime hours, the com-plainant has to indicate that they can hear the noise when they’re inside their house with all the doors and win-dows shut,” Thompson said.

It was a dramatic image: millions of cubic metres of waste cascading from the Mount Polley mine breach into the Quesnel water-shed in B.C.’s Interior.

Besides de-stroying a nine-km creek and e n d a n g e r i n g salmon and the neighbouring community of Likely, the ca-tastrophe dam-aged the mining industry’s repu-tation.

In the months following, fin-gers pointed, in-dependent pan-els weighed in and committees were struck.

One year later, the Mount Polley mine is operating again, this time with a conditional permit and no long-term plan to deal with excess tailings.

In British Columbia, after met-als are extracted from large mines, the finely ground rock that remains is stored under water behind earth-and-rock dams, which can prevent acid mine drainage. (Acid mine drainage occurs when water flows through ex-posed acidic minerals and becomes contaminated.) But storing massive quantities of water in large open pits

near towns and waterways is risky.First Nations, scientists and the in-

dependent review panel investigating the breach point to dry stacking as a safer, proven alternative to century-old wet tailings technology.

The review panel encouraged this costlier method, yet all 10 B.C. mine proposals either approved or waiting for approval are planning to use wet tailings.

Seabridge Gold’s $5.4-billion KSM copper-gold proposal, already ap-proved by the B.C. and federal gov-ernments, includes a 239-metre-high earth dam, which would be among the world’s highest, to store 27 times more tailings than were stored at Mount Polley. The company rejected dry stacking, citing costs and concluding it wasn’t feasible in the wet, moun-tainous region. The Blackwater gold and silver mine southwest of Prince George, which plans to store four times as many tailings as were stored at Mount Polley, also rejected the safer alternative.

Elsewhere, dry stacking is being used or considered for larger mines. The Greens Creek mine in Alaska was among the first in the world to use it. La Coipa gold-silver mine in Chile, about one-third the size of the pro-posed Blackwater project, and Hudbay Minerals’ proposed Rosemont Copper mine in Arizona also plan to use dry stacking.

B.C.’s mining industry is growing

faster than ever, raising concerns about pollution, community impacts and damage to fish and habitat. Fish-ermen point to threats to their liveli-hoods.

B.C.’s auditor general has ques-tioned whether the government is ef-fectively considering the cumulative impacts of decision-making on natu-ral resource development, including mining. First Nations are challeng-ing industrial activity in their terri-tories in light of the Supreme Court’s Tsilhqot’in decision affirming rights to land and resources.

The risk of more mining accidents — and more environmental damage — is real. The B.C. First Nations Energy and Mining Council found mining op-erations threaten more than 230 north-ern aboriginal and non-aboriginal communities, including drinking water in Prince George, Terrace and Smith-ers. The report, Uncertainty Upstream: Potential Threats from Tailings Facil-ity Failures in Northern British Co-lumbia, found 35 tailings ponds at 26 mines in 48 watersheds could affect fish-bearing waters.

B.C.’s government has taken action in the Mount Polley aftermath, but it’s too early to tell if it will be enough. A provincial mining code review is considering ways to implement recom-mendations from an independent ex-pert engineering panel, which include using dry stack technology where ap-propriate and improving safety and

regulation at tailings-storage facili-ties. But it doesn’t address the review panel’s conclusion that reducing dam failures requires reducing the number of dams.

Canada’s mining industry and gov-ernment regulators must do a better job of managing risk. At the very least we need stronger environmental as-sessments, a requirement that ade-quate financial bonds be posted before mines are approved and recognition of First Nations’ rights and title.

British Columbia could learn from Quebec. It requires almost all new mines to undergo a rigorous environ-mental-impact assessment overseen by an independent review panel. Finan-cial assurances have been increased and at least half must be put up before a mine opens. Municipalities will soon have a say in designating “no-go zones” for mining in sensitive areas.

We’ll likely get more answers on the Mount Polley breach following investi-gations by the chief inspector of mines and Conservation Officer Service.

But with timelines reduced and environmental-assessment processes streamlined to fast-track mine approv-als, we can expect more events like the one at Mount Polley. We need to take steps now to reduce risks from mining operations.

Awash in bad choices

One by one, the empty boxes in the Drake Equa-tion are being filled in with actual numbers, and it’s looking good. So good that Yuri Milner is spending $100 million of his own money over the next 10 years to fund the search for non-human civilizations orbit-ing other stars.

But it’s a pity that the Phi-lae lander from the European Space Agency’s Rosetta mis-sion didn’t have more time to look for life on Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.

Yuri Milner is a Silicon Valley billionaire who was working on a PhD in theo-retical physics at the Russian Academy of Sciences before he moved to the United States and got rich. His money will buy thousands of hours of ra-dio-telescope time each year to look for radio transmissions from other star systems.

This represents at least a tenfold increase in the amount of work being done on finding intelligent life elsewhere in the galaxy, and Yuri Milner is no fool. Why does he think it’s worth spending this money now?

Probably because the Drake Equation is finally coming into its own. It has seven terms, and Ameri-can astronomer Frank Drake could not give a value to any of them when he first wrote it in 1961. It was just a formula that would let us estimate the number of civilizations in the Milky Way galaxy when the rel-evant data eventually became available.

To fill in the first three terms, we needed to know how many stars there are in the galaxy, how many of them have planets, and how many of those planets

are in the “habitable zone” where liquid water can exist.

In 1961, the estimate was 100 billion stars. Now it is 400 billion, of which 300 billion are essentially similar to our sun.

Until 1992, we didn’t even know if other stars had planets circling them. Now we can estimate that at least 40 per cent of them do, although the real an-swer may be almost all of them. (We still cannot de-tect planets much smaller than Earth.)

As for how many planets are in the “habitable” zone, not too close or too far from their parent star, the answer is probably one or two per star.

Using the data acquired in the past 20 years, NASA now estimates that there are 144 billion hab-itable planets in our galaxy. Not all of them will harbour life, of course, but that is a very encouraging number.

Other questions remain, however.How many “habitable” planets will actually have

life on them?On how many of those planets will an intelligent

species appear?How many of those intelligent species will build

civilizations that use electromagnetic communica-tions?

And how long, on average, would those high-tech civilizations last?

We don’t yet know the answers to any of those questions, but we do know that organic compounds are common even in interstellar space, and that they are continuously raining on our own planet. So the standard assumption is that they somehow combined on Earth to form the first single-celled creatures, and evolution did the rest.

But if it were easy for those organic compounds to combine into complex microbes and viruses, then you would expect it to have happened here a number of times. There would be several or many unrelated

genetic lineages on Earth — and there aren’t. All life here has a common ancestor.

So it must be very rare for life to develop sponta-neously. If it actually happened here, it would mean that we are a miracle, and pretty much alone in the galaxy. But maybe the miracle happened on another of those 144 billion planets, billions of years ago, and life been spreading through the galaxy ever since — not as alien beings on starships, but as microbes and viruses on meteorites and comets.

This is the “panspermia” hypothesis, first pro-posed by astronomers Sir Fred Hoyle and Dr. Chan-dra Wickramasinghe in 1974. Dissatisfied with the notion that Earth was unique, they suggested that not only organic compounds but actual microbes and viruses could travel through interstellar space, dor-mant but still viable in the liquid water that they sus-pected was present in the interior of many comets.

It sounds weird, but it is just as plausible as the rival hypothesis of an independent origin of life on Earth. Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko was the first-ever opportunity to see if this hypothesis holds water (so to speak). The Philae lander did detect 16 different organic molecules as it bounced along the comet’s surface, but it ended up in the shadows with-out power to pursue its investigations further.

Pity, but there’ll be another comet along in a while. And if it turns out that Hoyle and Wickra-masinghe were right, then most of those 144 billion planets will have life on them. The history of evolu-tion on Earth tends always to greater complexity, so a fair proportion of them would have intelligent life on them.

How many of them have high-tech civilizations on them at the moment, of course, depends on how long the average technological civilization survives. Our own high-tech civilization has survived, so far, for about one century.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR


OTTAWA — Stephen Harper called any compari-son between the Mike Duffy affair and the Liberal sponsorship scandal “absurd” as the Conservative leader faced more questions on Sunday from report-ers and attacks from his opponents about the sena-tor.

The Duffy issue stayed in the election campaign spotlight after revelations emerged last week during the senator’s fraud, breach of trust and bribery trial.

Harper was reminded Sunday by a reporter how he wouldn’t accept claims years ago that former Lib-eral prime minister Jean Chretien and then-finance minister Paul Martin knew nothing about the spon-sorship scandal in the 1990s.

The Tory leader was then asked to explain the dif-ference between that situation and the Duffy affair, which Harper has insisted he knew nothing about.

“Look, in the Liberal sponsorship scandal $40 mil-lion of Canadian taxpayers’ (money) disappeared,” Harper said.

“So, I think the comparison is absurd.“This case we have a senator whose expenses, in

our judgment, were not justifiable and my response was that he should pay those expenses back.”

Harper’s rivals sought to keep the Duffy issue alive on Sunday as the campaign entered its third week.

Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau sent an open let-ter to Harper, demanding explanations to alleged contradictions and in-consistencies in his state-ments, and those of some of his cabinet ministers.

In the letter, Trudeau also called on Harper to fire members of his team who were allegedly in-volved in a Duffy cover up.

“Mr. Harper contin-ues to ignore the calls for answering questions, for explaining why he keeps these people who have been involved in part of a cover up to hide the truth from Canadians — why he continues to keep them around him, indeed, running his campaign,”

Trudeau told reporters in Montreal, where he at-tended a Pride event.

Last week, Harper said the “vast majority” of his staff were unaware of a scheme to fake Duffy’s per-sonal repayment of Senate expenses. The statement marked a shift from Harper’s previous position that only one person was aware.

One of the people informed about the plan by Harper’s then-chief of staff, Nigel Wright, to repay Duffy’s expenses was Ray Novak, Harper’s current chief of staff, close confidante and a senior Conser-vative Party campaign director.

On Thursday, Harper supported Novak’s claim that he did not read a direct email on the subject from Wright — his boss at the time — and was un-aware about Wright’s payment.

New Democrat Leader Thomas Mulcair was asked Sunday whether some of Harper’s staffers should lose their jobs over the Duffy scheme.

“Well, I think somebody should be fired for the whole Duffy-Wright affair,” Mulcair said in Montreal, where he also attended the Pride event.

“On Oct. 19, Canadians will get a chance to fire that person responsible for that whole mess — and that is Stephen Harper.”

Mulcair also took a shot at Harper for “system-atically” staying away from gay pride parades in

Canada.“It’s a way of showing that you respect rights and

that you want to remove discrimination,” he said.Mulcair was also asked about Green Party Leader

Elizabeth May’s announcement Sunday that former New Democrat MP Jose Nunez-Melo had decided to run under her banner in a new riding in suburban Montreal.

Montreal’s La Presse newspaper reported this month that Nunez-Melo got into a dispute with the party over the nomination in the new district. The report said Nunez-Melo alleged party brass blocked him from running.

Mulcair said Nunez-Melo informed the party in a letter that he didn’t accept the rules.

“And the party said, ’Fine, you’re not a candidate,’ ” he told reporters.

“If you don’t accept the rules, you can’t be a can-didate.”

May said her party now has three candidates who sat as MPs in the last Parliament, which was dis-solved earlier this month.

“I am over the moon to welcome Jose Nunez-Me-lo,” May said.

“We weren’t in the same party but we had the same spirit.”

Comparing Duffy affair to sponsorship scandal ‘absurd’: Harper


OLIVER, B.C. — Residents in southeastern Brit-ish Columbia are regrouping from an immense and fast-spreading wildfire that has so far wiped out 29 homes and forced hundreds to flee with little more than the clothes on their backs.

Kerstin Klenheimer and her husband desert-ed their house when the 37-square-kilometre Rock Creek fire broke out Thursday evening. On Sunday she stood next to a charred piece of property on the side of a highway and stared into the distance at the fire burning near her house.

“It was like a tornado coming — a fire tornado coming up the valley,” she said, recalling the mo-ments before their hasty departure. “There was no time. You just have to run.

“It’s just been a frightening few days and my heart goes out to all the people in Zamora, Westbridge (and) Rock Creek,” Klenheimer said. “Let’s just band together and get through this.”

Premier Christy Clark visited a community centre packed with evacuees in nearby Midway on Sunday. She told reporters she wants to see harsher penal-ties for people who start forest fires.

“If you are found to have been throwing a ciga-rette butt out of your car, perhaps one of the penal-ties available should be that we should be able to take away the use of your car for a period of time.”

The blaze in Rock Creek began by a highway junc-tion and is believed to be human-caused. Clark said if evidence shows an individual is responsible, that person will face consequences.

The premier predicted the cost of fighting fires this season could balloon to as much as $400 million. The province budgets for fires on a five-year average, working out to about $60 million a year.

“I don’t wake up in the morning thinking about where we’re going to find the money to fight the fires. I get up in the morning thinking, ’How am I going to make sure we put these fires out?”’ she said.

“Because whatever we need to spend, we spend it to make sure we look after the people of this prov-

ince.”The aggressive blaze forced campers at the Kettle

River Provincial Park to rush out on foot last week, leaving nearly everything behind, including vehicles and trailers.

Campers were escorted back in small groups on Sunday to pick up their belongings. The winding highway leading into the park was flanked by heaps of destroyed homes and scorched earth.

Two burned-out vehicles sat in the parking lot and the park itself was filled with blackened, charred trees. But many campers, including Greg Ternan and his family, were amazed to find all of their be-longings intact. Evacuees at the community centre cheered as he drove his vehicle out of the lot.

“I’m feeling pretty good, just want to go home now, have a shower,” he said with a grin.

The biggest challenge to fighting the several ag-gressive blazes that have flared up across the region has been the strong and gusty winds, said Kevin Skrepnek of the B.C. Wildfire Service.

The wildfire service hadn’t called for any signifi-cant wind on Sunday, said Alan Stanley of the Koo-tenay Boundary Regional District. But that situation could change quickly, he warned.

“You can’t guarantee anything with a wildfire,” he said. “It is bold, all-caps ’unpredictable’ with several exclamation marks.”

Some 220 fires continue to burn across B.C., out of a total of more than 1,600 that have sparked since Apr. 1. More than 900 people remain under evacua-tion order across the province, including 240 in the Rock Creek area.

Some evacuation orders were recently downgrad-ed to alerts, meaning the occupants of 88 homes and businesses were allowed to return.

Another two wildfires in the heart of B.C.’s wine country, near Oliver in the Okanagan Valley, contin-ued to smoulder on Sunday, with scores of residents still forced from their homes. Though residents af-fected by the three-square-kilometre Wilson Moun-tain fire were allowed home Saturday, about 110 people living near the 15-square kilometre Testalin-den Creek fire remained under evacuation order.

Former KGB worker voluntarily leaves Canada after avoiding deportationVANCOUVER — A former KGB agent who spent

six years living inside a Vancouver church to avoid deportation has voluntarily left Canada.

Mikhail Lennikov’s lawyer Hadayt Nazami says his client has concluded negotiations with Canadian border services and is no longer in the country.

Lennikov was ordered deported in 2009 but sought religious sanctuary in a B.C. Lutheran church, where he lived until recently. Canadian immigration offi-cials declared Lennikov a threat to national security because of his history working as a KGB translator in the 1980s. Lennikov openly confessed his role with the infamous Soviet spy agency to the Canadian government in 1999 and said he did the work under pressure. Nazami says Lennikov’s wife and son have become Canadian citizens.

Man charged in connection with deaths of three people

PEMBERTON, B.C. — Charges have been laid against a man in connection with an accident in May near Pemberton that killed two cyclists and the pas-senger of a vehicle. RCMP say Samuel Alec faces a string of charges including impaired driving causing death, criminal negligence causing death and failing to remain at the scene of an accident.

The suspect is due to appear in a North Vancou-ver court on Monday to face the allegations.

Police said they were contacted by a witness on May 31 about a report of a car slamming into three cyclists along Highway 99 about 25 kilometres north of Pemberton.

Two of the cyclists died as did a passenger in the car.

After three months, woman caught on video swiping blooms from grave

LONDON, Ont. — An unknown woman in London, Ont., has been caught on video repeatedly stealing flowers from a gravestone.

The video recently posted on Facebook by Marg Allerston-Medeiros has gone viral, with the UK’s The Mirror and other international news outlets report-ing on the thief ransacking her late mother’s grave.

Since the death of Allerston-Medeiros’s mother in April at the age of 86, she says someone has been stealing mementoes, flowers and other items from the grave. Allerston-Medeiros set up a secret camera in the cemetery and caught a slim, blonde woman who looks to be in her 20s stealing flowers from the grave. The woman and police in London, Ont., are asking for the public’s help in identifying the sus-pect, who appears to be smiling as she scurries off with her gravestone haul. In a recent interview with AM980, Allerston-Medeiros said she has no idea why the thief has targeted her mother’s grave.

“I go a lot, almost every day, both to water the flowers that are there or to take pictures and let my big family know that, again, it’s been ransacked.”

Second degree murder charge laid in Brampton slaying

BRAMPTON, Ont. — Police have laid a second de-gree murder charge against a man in the death of his mother in Brampton, Ont.

Peel Regional Police tweeted on Sunday that the charge has been laid but have not released any names. The 23-year-old suspect was arrested Sat-urday, a few hours after the body of his mother was discovered in a Brampton home.

TORONTO — Critics say the Ontario government should pay the bill when patients are forced to take air or ground ambulances because their local hospi-tal doesn’t offer the service or treatment they need.

The Liberals made a deliberate decision to al-low only certain hospitals to offer services such as neo-natal or cardiac care, which forces patients in northern Ontario to travel great distances, said New Democrat health critic France Gelinas.

Hospitals in northern and rural Ontario are “shells of what they used to be,” and offer very little in the way of actual services for many patients, said Gelinas.

“They stabilize you long enough for Ornge (air ambulance service) to ship you out,” she said. “This has become our hospital service in northern Ontario, and hospital services are covered by medicare and should be covered by the government.”

The recent case of an Alberta woman hit with a huge bill for an Ornge air-ambulance ride from Tim-mins to Sudbury highlights the problem, said Geli-nas.

Staff at the Timmins hospital advised Amy Savill to fly to Sudbury because they were unable to care for her safely after she went into labour premature-ly.

“Timmins should have had a neo-natal unit to handle the needs of her newborn baby,” said Geli-nas.

Ornge could not comment on a specific case, but said a one-hour flight on a helicopter ambulance would cost between $8,000 and $10,000.

The Progressive Conservatives said the govern-ment should pay the tab because its policy forces patients to fly to distant hospitals.

“They should have allocated for these types of situations to arise,” said PC critic Bill Walker. “Ten thousand dollars would cripple most people.”

The Ontario Council of Hospital Unions said Savill’s air-ambulance ride was a direct result of the Liberal government’s “aggressive” downsizing of ob-stetric services.

“No Canadian should be forced to personally bear the cost of a deliberate policy of centralization of birthing services,” said union president Michael Hurley.

The Liberals turned some hospitals into “centres of excellence” that specialize in services no longer offered by hospitals in other communities, said Geli-nas. Hospital and physician services are supposed to be free to all Canadians, she added.

“You’ve changed the model in Ontario to fly ev-erybody, so the transportation costs becomes part of that and should be covered by medicare,” said Gelinas.

“This is now part of medically necessary hospital services.”

The Ministry of Health said funding was not the issue in Savill’s case because the Timmins and Dis-trict hospital never had a level 2/3 neonatal intensive care unit that was needed to deliver and care for her premature baby.

Government should pay for air ambulance after hospital service

cuts: Critics

ONTARIO


TORONTO — As Canadian kids prepare to head back to school, there’s a growing movement gaining traction across the country that involves students learning their lessons at home and doing their home-work at school.

It’s called the “flipped classroom” — students watch an online video of a lesson as homework, and then work on problems during class time.

The method is becoming more prominent as tech-nology in schools allows for videos to be accessed easily, either on custom-made sites, on YouTube or downloaded to a device.

A high school in Newmarket, Ont. — Sir William Mulock Secondary School — is making the leap. Col-loquially, they call it a “Bring-Your-Own-Device” school where every student has to have a laptop or tablet to be able to use the technology.

That technology has allowed teachers to flip their classrooms.

Donna Green, a math teacher at the school, flipped her Grade 10 academic math class in the second semester. She uses technology that captures video of her computer screen along with her voice as she progresses through a lesson.

The videos are usually shorter than in-class lec-tures, she says, because there are no disruptions.

“What I like about it is I am spending more time with the students than up at the board,” Green says.

“What I don’t like is when they are watching the video (at home) and they have an immediate ques-tion, there is no one to ask.”

Green tries to mitigate that problem by getting the students to write their questions down, and she goes over those questions first thing in class the next day.

Despite some of the drawbacks — most of the criticism has centred on the fact that low-income stu-dents may not have access to the technology required — Green and other teachers argue that flipped class-rooms are better for the students.

There’s some evidence to back up their opinion. A high school in Michigan, one of the worst academic performers in the state, flipped every classroom in 2011, and saw failure rates decline significantly while graduation rates soared. Green and her col-league, Amanda Belanger, surveyed their students in Newmarket through an online questionnaire about the new style. Two-thirds said they preferred it to the traditional “chalk-and-talk” method.

The results, Green says, show students like the ability to watch the videos at their own pace — they can pause, rewind and review them if they’re puz-zled.

Then they apply what they’ve learned from the video lessons to problems that they work through in class.

“When we assigned homework before, the deeper problems were the stuff they weren’t finishing at home because they didn’t know how to do it,” she says. “Now they’re finishing that at school, and we can help because we’re around.”

Math and science are natural fits for the method, but Green’s colleague, Derrick Schellenberg, uses it in his English class sometimes too.

He employed it, for example, when teaching the 12 stages of the so-called quest pattern in mythology.

“They would watch the video ahead of time and then we would deconstruct the idea in class; then we would apply it to a film or short story or a book or a play,” he says.

An important facet to the flipped classroom, both Green and Schellenberg say, is asking questions at the end of class to ensure all the students under-stand the lessons and the subsequent in-class home-work. The teachers then immediately compile and tabulate the responses electronically.

“What’s great is I’ve immediately got a spread-sheet with 30 students, and I can go through them quickly and I can find the students who didn’t get the question rather than wait for a test to find out who’s struggling,” Schellenberg says.

Donna Feledichuk, a University of Alberta pro-fessor who researches teaching methods, recently turned her attention to an economics class at the school that taught traditionally in one semester, then used the flipped method in the second semester — with the same content and the same instructor.

Feledichuk was trying to understand why interna-tional students in the class were lagging significantly behind their Canadian counterparts. In the flipped classroom, there was an overall increase of 11.4 per cent in the final grade compared to the traditional class. As a side benefit, she notes, attendance in-creased to nearly 90 per cent from 65 per cent.

She says students can pick up the theory much easier via the flipped classroom.

“We get these big gaps in ability because some kids get it right away, but most students need more than one or two examples to understand a subject — many need more than seven,” she says.

Queen Mary 2 abandons search for missing crew member off

NewfoundlandST. JOHN’S, N.L. — The Queen Mary 2 called off

the search for a crew member late Saturday after he went overboard off the coast of Newfoundland.

Cunard cruise line said the search for the 26-year-old man was abandoned after an extensive search was conducted in the area roughly 750 kilometres east of St. John’s, N.L.

“Having discussed this with experts ashore there is no possibility that the crew member could have

survived this long in the water and we therefore have to presume that he died in the water,” Cunard said in a statement.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, which is being informed, as well as friends and his colleagues on board.”

The company has not released the name, occupa-tion or nationality of the missing crew member.

Search and rescue officials have said the man did not report for duty onboard the Queen Mary 2 early Saturday. They said a search was conducted onboard the ship and when the man wasn’t found, search and rescue officials were asked to look for the man at sea. A passenger, Konstantin Binder, tweeted that Capt. Kevin Oprey turned the ship around at 10:40 a.m. Saturday. The tweets suggest it took several hours from that time to return to the search area. Passengers were later called on deck and asked to look as Oprey said “every pair of eyes helps.”

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. — Given a third straight chance to finally win a major, Jason Day promised a fight to the finish in the PGA Championship.

Turns out the biggest fight was to hold back the tears.

Worried that this year might turn out to be a ma-jor failure, Day never gave Jordan Spieth or anyone else a chance Sunday. He delivered a record-setting performance at Whistling Straits that brought him a major championship he started to wonder might never happen.

Day was in tears before he even tapped in for par and a 5-under 67 for a three-shot victory. He sobbed on the shoulder of Colin Swatton, his caddie and longtime coach who rescued Day as a 12-year-old

struggling to overcome the death of his father.And then came high praise from Spieth in the

scoring trailer when golf’s new No. 1 player told him, “There’s nothing I could do.”

“I didn’t expect I was going to cry,” Day said. “A lot of emotion has come out because I’ve been so close so many times and fallen short. To be able to play the way I did today, especially with Jordan in my group, I could tell that he was the favourite. Just to be able to finish the way I did was amazing.”

Three shots ahead with three holes to play on a course with trouble everywhere, Day blasted a drive down the fairway on the par-5 16th and hit a tower-ing 4-iron into 20 feet. He bit his lower lip, swatted his caddie on the arm, knowing his work was almost done.

The two-putt birdie put him at 20-under par, and two closing pars gave him the record to par in ma-jors, breaking by one shot the 19 under of Tiger Woods at St. Andrews in the 2000 British Open. Day finished at 20-under 268, not knowing until it was over that it was a record.

What really mattered was that shiny Wanamaker Trophy at his side.

He shared the 54-hole lead at the U.S. Open and the British Open and had to watch someone else cel-ebrate.

“Not being able to finish, it would have been tough for me mentally to really kind of come back from that,” Day said.

Canada’s off to the OlympicsBY THE CANADIAN PRESS

Canada 82 Cuba 66EDMONTON — Canada’s women’s

basketball team is Rio bound.Kia Nurse led the way with 20 points

as the Canadians defeated Cuba 82-66 in the gold medal game of the FIBA Americas women’s basketball champi-onship on Sunday to officially clinch a berth at next year’s Olympics.

“This has been an incredible expe-rience,” said Nurse, who was named the tournament’s most valuable player. “We are all so pumped about this. To be able to qualify a year in advance and play as well as we did was amaz-ing.”

Natalie Achonwa had 12 points for Canada, which went undefeated through the tournament to extend its winning streak to 14 consecutive games on home soil.

It’s only the second time that Cana-da emerged victorious at the Americas tournament, previously wining it in 1995 in Hamilton — the only other time they served as the host nation. The Ca-nadians entered the tournament with plenty of momentum after recently beating the United States for gold at the Pan American Games in Toronto.

“It is kind of exactly as I had dreamed,” said Canadian captain and 15-year national team vet Kim Gau-cher. “The crowd was chanting Rio at the end of the game and I was trying to hold back tears and keep composed

because there was still 90 seconds left to play. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and man, we had a lot of fun.”

Canada got off to a rough start, trail-ing 18-10 with two minutes left in the

opening quarter. They were able to bounce back and lead 44-35 at the half.

A disastrous start to the third quar-ter for the host team saw Cuba go on an 11-point run and lead 46-44, but the Canadians regained their composure

to hold a 65-54 advantage heading into the fourth.

Gaucher said that qualifying for Rio now should only help their chanc-es when the Olympics actually roll around.

“It’s a huge advantage for us,” she said.

“Heading into London we were training to peak for the qualifying tournament. Now we will be training to peak in Rio. That’s a huge differ-ence. The number one goal is to get on the podium in Rio, it’s not just to get there.”

“We certainly fired some shots out there that Canada is coming,” added Canadian coach Lisa Thomaidis. “The amount that everyone improved from last year to this year was remarkable. If we do it again next year, who knows what is possible.”

Leidys Oquendo scored 25 points for Cuba, which was ranked fourth in the Americas and 13th in the world to Canada’s rating of third in the Ameri-cas and 10th in the world.

There has been plenty of recent history between the two nations, in-cluding Canada’s stunning 92-43 win over Cuba on Thursday to close out the round robin.

The two teams also played each oth-er twice at the last FIBA Americas in Mexico in 2013 where the Canadi-ans beat Cuba 53-40 in the preliminary round finale to win their group.

Henderson makes LPGA history with win in PortlandBY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PORTLAND, Ore. — Brooke Henderson got her breakthrough LPGA Tour victory. The Canadian teen will have to wait a little longer to become a tour member.

Henderson won the Cambia Portland Classic by eight strokes Sunday to become the third-young-est champion in LPGA Tour history at 17 years, 11 months, 6 days.

Henderson closed with a 3-under 69 at Columbia Edgewater to finish at 21-under 267, the lowest total since the event went from 54 holes to 72 in 2013.

“I was just trying to keep going low and trying to push it to get even further under par, which I wouldn’t have had that a couple months ago,” Hen-derson said.

Henderson earned $195,000 and has made $661,818 in 10 events this year. Last year, LPGA Tour Commis-sioner Mike Whan denied Henderson’s age petition, preventing her from playing Q-school. Because she’s assured of finishing in the top 40 in earnings, Hen-derson will earn a tour card for 2016.

Henderson said she didn’t know if she would peti-tion the LPGA again this week.

“I haven’t even really thought about it yet,” Hen-

derson said. “I’m just going to celebrate tonight and then hopefully make a decision soon and we’ll see what happens.”

Lydia Ko set the age record as an amateur in the 2012 Canadian Women’s Open at 15 years, 4 months, 2 days. She also won the Canadian event in 2013 at 16, and won four times at 17. Lexi Thompson won the 2011 Navistar LPGA Classic at 16 years, 7 months, 8 days. Henderson’s eight-stroke margin is the larg-est in the history of the event and the biggest on the LPGA Tour since Jiyah Shin won the 2012 Women’s British Open by nine shots.

Henderson held a 54-hole lead for the second time this season. This time was different than April in San Francisco, when Henderson ended up finishing third after a 74.

“Today the first time that I really felt nerves was on 18, and then afterward,” Henderson said. “My at-titude is much different than it was a couple months ago, and I think that was a big key. ... I demanded a lot more of myself than I did three or four months ago.”

Henderson, from Smiths Falls, Ontario, became the first Canadian winner since Lorie Kane in the 2001 Takefuji Classic.

Jays stave off sweep by YankeesBY THE CANADIAN PRESS

Blue Jays 3 Yankees 1TORONTO — With such a thin line between being

on the New York Yankees’ heels and getting swept at home, the Toronto Blue Jays didn’t hesitate and handed the ball to their fifth starter with the 5.26 earned-run average.

Drew Hutchison took it, threw a gem and helped the Blue Jays beat the Yankees 3-1 Sunday afternoon at Rogers Centre to move to a half-game back in the American League East. A defiant Hutchison silenced the doubters and delivered a crucial victory in the tight race for the division title.

“He responded,” manager John Gibbons said. “He’s still a young guy, but he’s mentally tough, I do know that.”

Hutchison allowed just three hits and one run on a solo home run by Jacoby Ellsbury in 6 2/3 innings to post his 12th win of the season. The much-maligned right-hander struck out five as the Yankees ran out arguably their strongest possible lineup looking for the sweep.

As talk swirled about the Blue Jays skipping one of Hutchison’s starts, he turned in his second straight strong outing.

“When it comes to things that are out of my con-trol, I don’t really pay any attention to that,” Hutchi-son said. “Whenever I’m given the ball I’m going to go out there and try to give an effort like I did today and help our team win.”

This showdown in the middle of August felt like more than just one of 162 games. The Blue Jays were trying to avoid being swept at home for the first time this season, a result that would have dropped them 2 ½ back in the AL East.

Instead, it’s an even tighter race in part because of a ball Carlos Beltran lost in the sun.

“I lost it when it was getting close to me, and I basically couldn’t do anything,” Beltran said of Troy Tulowitzki’s fly ball in the third inning. “The ball hit me in the back. Unfortunately, it would have been a different story if I had caught that ball.”

Toronto made the most of its break, with Tulow-itzki on second and extra chances to score runs. An RBI double by Josh Donaldson got the Blue Jays on the board, and a two-run shot by Jose Bautista broke open an inning that could’ve been over.

Bautista nailed a hanging slider from Yankees rookie Luis Severino over the fence in left-centre for his 28th home run of the season.

“I got a pretty good look at it, and it was an even count, so I was taking an aggressive hack,” Bautista said. “He put it in a good spot for me, and I was able to hit it hard.”

The 21-year-old Severino kept the Blue Jays from doing any more damage by striking out a career-high nine in his third major-league start.

“I thought he pitched extremely well,” Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. “He has risen to the occa-

sion.”Hutchison also rose to the occasion, helping the

Blue Jays make some more history of their own. He made it the 20th straight game that the starting pitch-er allowed three or fewer earned runs, extending a franchise-record set Saturday.

“I think it speaks volumes about the adjustments (starting pitchers have) been able to make, their tal-ent level and what they can do when they’re going well,” Bautista said. “Hopefully they can sustain this success and continue to ride that wave because if they do that it’s going to be fun last month and a half.”

In the last month and a half, the Blue Jays (65-54) and Yankees (64-52) face each other seven more times. The race is on.

“It’s going to be a battle the rest of the way out,” Hutchison said. “It’s going to be a fight. We just need

to go out there, play the way we know we can play and do what we’re capable of doing.”

Notes — The sellout crowd of 46,792 was the Blue Jays’ fifth straight home crowd over 40,000, the first time they’ve done that since 1995. ... Robert Osuna picked up his 13th save of the season. ... With an eighth-inning single, Edwin Encarnacion extended his hitting streak to 14 games, which matches a ca-reer high. ... The Blue Jays have Monday off before travelling to Philadelphia for a two-game series against the Phillies beginning Tuesday. ... LHP Aar-on Loup was optioned to triple-A Buffalo after the game. A corresponding roster move is expected to be announced on Monday. ... The 1985 team that won the franchise’s first division title was honoured before the game, and the first 20,000 fans received a bobblehead featuring outfielders George Bell, Lloyd Moseby and Jesse Barfield.

Win or lose, this Jays season is worth living

Consider the loss, and what it means. The Toronto Blue Jays fell to the New York Yan-

kees Friday night, and it was a big game. You could feel it in the stadium, and probably in the bars and living rooms and streetcars of Toronto on a sweaty summer night. Big game.

And at the end, after the Jays pulled ahead and the Yankees came back and Toronto put men at second and third with two outs in the ninth inning and Troy Tulowitzki at the plate — well, that was the point. Tulowitzki fouled off pitches; Tulowit-zki stayed alive. Yankees closer Andrew Miller was missing with his fastball so he sent slider after slid-er, and Tulowitzki sent them slicing into the safety of the stands, and you could imagine a city glued to its TVs or its radios or its phones, waiting, then waiting again. In the middle of August in Toronto, this was some theatre. It felt like it mattered.

“Classic (at-bat),” Toronto manager John Gibbons said. “Two of the best players in baseball. That’s what people want to see, pay to see.”

“That was an unbelievable atmosphere,” starter

David Price said.Miller struck Tulowitzki out on the 12th pitch of

the at-bat. The Yankees took back the division lead, and snapped Toronto’s 11-game winning streak. It is a measure of the last two weeks in Toronto baseball that the Blue Jays losing felt both weird, and encour-aging.

“We will lose a few games at some point,” Toronto general manager Alex Anthopoulos said before the game, matter-of-factly. “It will happen.”

Well, here we are. The Jays stopped losing for a while and engulfed this city in hope, and it’s been washing over everything. It is a fine and rare and dangerous thing, sporting hope in Toronto. But this team was worth it.

And on Friday night the joint was full, and the air was thick as pancakes. This stranded spaceship hulk of a stadium is only worth a damn when there are enough people in it to overcome the desolation, and with a full house the sound washes around like wa-ter in an overfull tub. This noise is different from the barroom anarchy of the home opener, too. That game is a party. These games are baseball.

And baseball’s not inevitable, even though the Jays made it feel like it for a couple weeks and most of Friday night. No team had ever shut out the Yan-kees for 33 straight innings, but the Jays did. Every-thing was working. Everything was great. The world tasted like sherbet. Tell your friends.

Then the Yankees scored four in the eighth in-ning, and Toronto could only get the tying run to third base. That’s what it took to beat these guys. Great game.

The Blue Jays have tapped this deep wellspring of hope that has somehow outlasted the 22-year drought, and it’s become a pulse of the city and beyond. The cool-down was coming, and is coming, sure. Anthopoulos won’t say out loud that this is a World Series-calibre team, even though he clearly believes it is. But there are 45 games left. A lot can happen in 45 games.

And that’s OK, that’s fine. In fact, that’s the point.Before the game, the Jays trotted out the 1980s

outfield of George Bell, Lloyd Moseby and Jesse Barfield. They were the pre-golden era, the guys who

nearly did it. Bell said these Jays look unbeatable; Moseby said he stays for the games now, where be-fore he’d come back and be in his car by the second inning. “Now, I want to get some popcorn, I can’t leave,” said Moseby. “Tulo’s up, Donaldson’s up. I can’t even get no damn ice cream. When do you go to the snack bar now?”

In the bottom of the ninth you could imagine a whole city sweating in the thick hot air or hiding from it, unable to get their ice cream, waiting for the next pitch, over and over. It’s been a long time since you could imagine that here.

Baseball that matters. Asked about blowing that three-games-to-one lead against Kansas City in ’85, the old outfielders half-joked they need therapy. Moseby said, “It’s baseball. We were meant to lose.” When you’re great and you lose, the details are etched in your brain forever.

But talking about the years before the Jays got good, Moseby said, “It was absolute misery.”

That was the Dome after the Jays were good too, after the World Series titles of ’92 and ’93. Those endless games after July where it didn’t matter, and there were 13,000 people getting swallowed up by the stands, and the air didn’t move. The faces changed, and nothing else.

This is better. TSN Radio’s Bryan Hayes came up with a good analogy: he compared the streak to the montage part of the sports movie, where everything’s coming together. You can imagine it, right? That’s what it was like.

Of course, after the montage, that’s when it gets hard. Again: that’s the point. This team can win big, or lose big. This team could get to the World Series and it could win the World Series, and it could lose a play-in game. This team could collapse. That’s the least likely option, but it’s possible.

It’s the possibility that matters now. It could hap-pen. It could all happen. Might as well live it, while it’s here.

PGA: Stripe show“Even though I feel like I’m a positive person, I

think that in the back of my mind something would have triggered and I would have gone, ’Maybe I can’t really finish it off.’

“It felt like I was mentally and physically grinding it out as hard as I could,” he said. “I wasn’t going to stop fighting until it over.”

Spieth gave it his best shot, but even the Masters and U.S. Open champion could tell what he was up against the way the 27-year-old Australian powered one drive after another and didn’t let anyone closer than the two-shot lead with which he started the fi-nal round.

“He played like he’d won seven or eight majors,” Spieth said. “He took it back. He wailed it. It was a stripe show.”

Spieth has the greatest consolation possible. With his runner-up finish, he replaced Rory McIlroy at No. 1 in the world.

“This is as easy a loss as I’ve ever had because I felt that I not only couldn’t do much about it as the round went on, I also accomplished one of my life-long goals in the sport of golf. That will never be tak-en away from me now. I’ll always be a No. 1 player in the world.”

Spieth set a record of his own. By closing with a 68, he set a record by playing the four majors in 54-under par, breaking by one the mark that Woods set in 2000. The difference is that Woods won two ma-jors by a combined 23 shots.

That also speaks to the depth of golf in this gen-

eration, and Day is the latest example. He moved to No. 3 in the world, meaning the top three in the world are all under 27 and have combined to win five of the last six majors.

“As long as I am healthy, I feel like I’m going to be there a long time,” Day said. “I still want to accom-plish that No. 1 goal of mine, which is to be the best player in the world. I’m still motivated and still very hungry for that, even after this win.”

Branden Grace of South Africa had another mis-take on the back nine in a major that cost him. Grace was tied for the lead at the U.S. Open when he hit his tee shot on the railroad tracks and out-of-bounds at Chambers Bay. This time, he was two shots be-hind when he went long of the 10th green and made double bogey. He closed with a 69 and finished third, five shots behind.

Justin Rose got within two shots until making a double bogey for the third straight day. He closed with a 70 and finished fourth.

BALL: Bounced backThe Cubans bounced back to defeat Canada 79-71

through to the Olympics, having secured a berth in next year’s FIBA women’s Olympic qualifying tour-nament.

LPGA: Canadian support“The Canadian support has been unbelievable.

Even the last couple days I received a lot of Twitter

messages and text messages and emails, just cheer-ing me on and wishing me the best. I’m sure my phone is blowing up pretty badly right now,” Hen-derson said.

She joined Laurel Kean as other only Monday qualifiers to win. Kean accomplished the feat in the 2000 Rail Classic.

Henderson bogeyed the final hole, only her third dropped stroke of the week, and had 24 birdies. She got into the field Monday with a 68, then shot 66-67-65 to take a five-stroke lead into the final round. Pornanong Phatlum (68), Ha Na Jang (70) and Candie Kung (70) tied for second.

Henderson never allowed an opening Sunday. She made two-putt birdies at the par-5 fifth and seventh to reach 20 under, and holed a 20-foot birdie putt at the par-4 ninth to take an eight-stroke lead.

She made a 3-footer for birdie at the par-5 12th, then stumbled with a bogey at 13. Henderson made her final birdie at the par-4 17th, knocking in a 10-foot putt from the fringe.

Henderson hit her drive in a fairway bunker at 18, but with a large lead, pitched out of the sand, hit her approach to 20 feet and two-putted for bogey.

After raising her arms in victory, Henderson was quickly doused with champagne by players and fam-ily.

Asked if she was able to taste the champagne, Henderson smiled and said, “No, not really. I can just smell it, though.”

Henderson also won the Symetra Tour’s Four Winds Invitational in June in Indiana, and tied for fifth in the Women’s PGA Championship — the sec-ond of the LPGA Tour’s five majors.

Defending champion Austin Ernst shot a 68 to tie for fifth at 12 under.

Morgan Pressel, second after three rounds, had a 75 to tie for 10th at 10 under.

Kayla Keech of the Red Deer Renegades puts the ball past Meg Macdonald of the Calgary FSC during major womens soccer action Sunday afternoon at Edgar Athletic Park. The Renegades recorded an impressive 4-0 win with Robyn Macdonald recording a natural hat trick in the first half and Jesse Stewart picking up the shutout. Stewart made three great saves to keep the game scoreless before Macdonald scored on three breakaways within 15 minutes on two great through balls by Chantal Park and one by Amanda Robinson. Stewart was once again outstanding early in the second half before Michelle Jang notched her fourth goal of the season. The back line of Kelsie Caine, Hayley Carlson and Amber Regnier was solid. The win tied the Renegades with Foothills in the standings. They finish their regular season next Saturday in Lethbridge. A win and they finish fifth.

Stamps blowout

Redblacks


Stampeders 48 Redblacks 3CALGARY — The Calgary Stampeders took ad-

vantage of a trio of costly turnovers by the Ottawa Redblacks on their way to a convincing 48-3 win on Saturday night.

Ottawa’s punt return team had a rough game as Brandon McDonald fumbled a pair of punts in the first half, while Jovon Johnson dropped another punt in the third quarter. Calgary’s special-teams unit re-covered all three fumbles and quickly turned each of the turnovers into touchdowns.

“That’s something that we’ve been talking about since Day 1, is trying to be the spark for this team and today we really were,” said Adam Berger, who recovered one of the fumbles by McDonald. “The three fumble recoveries were huge. The offence was rolling, the defence was rolling and we were just feeding off of everything too. It was a great game.”

Bo Levi Mitchell threw a pair of touchdown passes and ran for two more to lead the Stampeders (5-2) to the win in front of 27,566 fans at McMahon Stadium.

Joe West and Eric Rogers caught touchdown pass-es in the second quarter from Mitchell, who complet-ed 17-of-25 passes for 243 yards before giving way to backup quarterback Drew Tate in the third quarter.

“It’s a credit to all the guys,” Mitchell said. “The receivers got the game ball tonight on offence be-cause that’s just who they are. They just went out and won all night.”

Matt Walter ran for another TD, while Rene Pare-des kicked three field goals, three converts and a single for the Stampeders (5-2), who avenged a 29-26 overtime loss they suffered to the Redblacks (4-3) in Ottawa on July 24. Rob Maver added a single, while Calgary also scored on a safety.

Chris Milo accounted for all of Ottawa’s points when he kicked a field goal in the first quarter. The Redblacks had won their previous two games.

“They did a good job of getting pressure on me and taking away our running game,” said Ottawa quarterback Henry Burris, who completed 7-of-16 passes for 114 yards.

“We just couldn’t get anything going on our side, get momentum, and turnovers definitely didn’t help us. They played like Grey Cup champions tonight. We’ve got to learn from this.”

Randy Chevrier recovered McDonald’s first fum-ble early in the first quarter on the Ottawa 37-yard line. Two plays later, Mitchell ran the ball into the end zone from 11 yards out and then promptly threw a three-yard pass to Tory Harrison for a two-point convert to put Calgary up 8-0.

Milo kicked a 31-yard field goal for the Redblacks at 10:38 of the first quarter before Mitchell capped off a four-play, 63-yard drive by the Stampeders early in the second with a one-yard TD run.

One play after Berger recovered another fumble by McDonald deep in Ottawa territory, Mitchell tossed a 17-yard touchdown pass to West. Parades then added a 22-yard field goal with 57 seconds left in the first half.

After the Redblacks went two-and-out, Mitchell engineered a quick four-play, 65-yard drive that cul-minated with a 23-yard touchdown strike to Rogers on the goal line with just three seconds left on the clock.

Paredes opened the second half with a 68-yard single before Calgary extended its lead to 34-3 when backup Ottawa quarterback Thomas DeMarco con-ceded a safety in the end zone.

Things went from bad to worse for the Redblacks when Joe Burnett recovered a fumble by Johnson, once again deep in Ottawa territory, which led to a six-yard TD run by Walter on the next play.

Paredes then booted two more field goals from 34 and 36 yards out, before Rob Maver added a 56-yard single.

Notes: The Stamps now have a perfect 9-0 record in games following a bye week since John Hufnagel started as Calgary’s coach and general manager in 2008. b& Tate suited up for his 100th CFL regular-season game with the Stampeders. b& Milo also missed a 36-yard field goal attempt late in the game when the ball bounced off the right post and back onto the field.

COSTLY TURNOVERS GIVE CALGARY EASY WIN

Tiger-Cats rout Lions to stay perfect at homeBY THE CANADIAN PRESS

Tiger-Cats 52 Lions 22HAMILTON — Zach Collaros and the Hamilton

Tiger-Cats continue to roll at Tim Hortons Field.Collaros threw four TD passes and Brandon Banks

scored on a 96-yard punt return as Hamilton dis-mantled the B.C. Lions 52-22 on Saturday night to improve to 10-0 at Tim Hortons Field. It was Banks’ third return TD of the season.

But again Hamilton’s defence anchored the win, registering four sacks and forcing four turnovers (two fumbles, two interceptions) while scoring twice. Defensive lineman Eric Norwood returned a fumble 23 yards for a touchdown and linebacker Erik Harris had a 30-yard interception return TD, marking seven times this season the unit has found the end zone (team record-tying six on interceptions, one fumble return).

The CFL single-season record for most intercep-tion return TDs is seven — set by Toronto in 2006 — while the most defensive touchdowns in a campaign is 11, set by B.C. in 1987. Hamilton (5-2) travels to Ed-monton (5-2) next weekend for a showdown between division leaders and the league’s top two defences.

“In all three phases we’re playing well, we’re ex-cited for the opportunity in front of us to go out West and play a great Edmonton team,” Collaros said. “I really have a lot of fun watching (Ticats defence) play. Sometimes I catch myself being a spectator. It’s a lot of fun, it’s exciting.”

Banks took Richie Leone’s punt back at 7:20 of the second quarter to help Hamilton win its fourth straight. The Ticats also stormed out to a 21-0 first-quarter advantage en route to moving into a tie with Toronto (5-2) atop the East Division before an enthu-siastic sellout gathering of 24,110.

Collaros cemented the win with a two-yard TD strike to Luke Tasker at 2:12 of the third to put Ham-ilton ahead 37-10. It was set up by Courtney Stephen’s interception return to the B.C. 30-yard line.

Collaros found Tasker on a 15-yard touchdown pass at 10:57 before Harris returned a Travis Lulay

interception 30 yards for the score at 12:29.Hamilton was minus top running back (C.J. Gable)

and its two leading receivers (Andy Fantuz, Bakari Grant) due to injuries. But again the defence stepped up, holding CFL rushing leader Andrew Harris to 36 yards on eight carries. Harris also lost two fumbles.

“I’ve never been around it, honestly,” Ticats coach/GM Kent Austin said of his high-scoring de-fence. “Let’s just hope and pray we can keep that up because that really helps. They’re finding way to turnovers and they’re not just getting turnovers but they’re flipping the field, they’re scoring and they’re giving us field position . . . It’s a big boost for us.”

After storming out to a 31-10 halftime advantage, Hamilton didn’t let its foot off the gas against B.C.

Last weekend, the Ticats went into a second-half lull against Winnipeg, earning a 38-8 victory after assum-ing a 31-0 lead at the half.

“I kind of admonished them at halftime to not come out, especially offensively, in the second half and have a lull again,” Austin said. “It’s a great cred-it that they learned from the previous week.”

Collaros finished 19-of-23 passing for 290 yards. Tasker was his favourite target with six catches for 100 yards and two TDs.

B.C. (3-4) remained tied for third with Winnipeg (3-5) in the West Division as Lulay was 13-of-20 passing for 139 yards and a TD but also two interceptions. It’s the fourth time in five games Lulay has been held to under 200 yards.

Bencic upsets Halep to win Rogers Cup women’s titleBY THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — For months, Swiss teenager Belinda Bencic has been tabbed as one of the rising stars on the women’s tennis scene.

This week at the Rogers Cup, she showed that she can hang with — and beat — the sport’s elite.

Bencic capped her improbable run to the final with a 7-6 (5), 6-7 (4), 3-0 vic-tory over Simona Halep on a hot, sun-ny afternoon at Aviva Centre. Halep, who was hampered by a left leg injury, cramps and heat exhaustion, retired early in the third set.

It was yet another upset win for the unseeded world No. 20. She beat four of the top five seeds — including Sere-na Williams in the semifinal — to claim her first Premier-Five level title.

“It’s like I cannot believe it, and it’s amazing,” a giddy Bencic said after-wards. “I have no words for this, and definitely talk about a tough draw.”

The 18-year-old Bencic took out a murderers’ row of WTA talent en route to her second career title.

Canada’s Eugenie Bouchard was the first to fall. Fourth-seeded Caroline Wozniacki was next, followed by Sabi-ne Lisicki, fifth-seeded Ana Ivanovic, the top-seeded Williams — who lost for just the second time all year — and finally the second-seeded Halep.

Bencic became the first teenager to win the $2.51-million tournament since Ivanovic took the crown as an 18-year-old in 2006. Bencic earned $456,000

with the victory and could move as high as No. 12 when the updated world rankings are released Monday.

“Now I actually feel like I belong here and that I can really be one of the top players,” she said. “It’s an amazing feeling.”

Halep needed treatment and mas-sage therapy at times during the match. She used ice towels and drank fluids to try to cool down and did well to force a deciding set. But Bencic didn’t let up, taking the first three games in the deci-sive set before Halep decided to end it.

“I was thinking that I need a mira-cle to finish the match,” Halep said. “I knew that I had no power so I tried just to finish the match, but at 3-0 I said there is no sense to continue and I stopped.”

Halep, who was looking for her fourth title of the season, earned $227,640 as runner-up. She still plans to play at next week’s stop in Cincin-nati.

Both players primarily stuck to a baseline game and used their strong returning skills to their advantage. Breaks were more common than holds in the early going.

Halep tried to shake out her leg pain at times in the opening set but with a 6-5 lead, she called for a trainer to work on her left quadriceps. She returned to the court with a bandage taped to the outside of her leg.

Bencic held serve and trailed 1-4 in the tiebreaker before taking con-trol with four straight points. Halep misfired wide to set up a set point and

Bencic converted when the Romanian found the net.

Down 1-2 in the second set, Halep had the trainer come out again to rub

her left leg under the knee. She also had ice towels wrapped around her neck and upper legs while her blood pressure was checked.

Murray downs Djokovic for Rogers Cup titleBY THE CANADIAN PRESS

MONTREAL — It was a big day all around for Andy Murray and his entou-rage.

On the day his coach, former wom-en’s world No. 1 Amelie Mauresmo, gave birth to a baby boy, Murray end-ed an eight-game losing run to Novak Djokovic with a 6-4, 4-6, 6-3 victory at the US$4.1 million Rogers Cup on Sun-day.

Murray dedicated the win to Mau-resmo, who the Scot hired in Novem-ber in a rare instance of a male player hiring a woman as coach.

“I don’t know much detail,” said Murray, whose wife Kim is due to give birth to their first child in February. “I haven’t spoken to her.

“I’d imagine she’s quite tired. Prob-ably me and my tennis are the last thing on her mind just now, which is totally understandable.”

Murray is 9-19 in his career against Djokovic and beat the Serb for the first time since the 2013 Wimbledon final, also the last time he beat a world No. 1.

With his performance this week, Murray will take over the world No. 2 ranking from Roger Federer for the third time in his career.

The win will be a confidence boost-er going into the U.S. Open, which starts Aug. 31. But even Murray is not sure what effect Mauresmo becoming a mother will change with their arrange-ment.

He recently added former ATP play-er Jonas Bjorkman to his team mainly for on-court work.

“I don’t know the answer because we haven’t obviously discussed that yet,” he said. “It doesn’t change any-thing through the end of this year because we’ve had six months since we found out to plan and talk about things.

“I employed Jonas. He’s going to be with me pretty much every event I play between now and the end of the year. When Amelie is ready to sit down and chat, then we’ll see what it is she wants do, if she wants to continue doing the job, if she wants to stay at home. It’s re-ally up to her. She’s earned the right to make that decision. I don’t feel like it’s

for me to decide.”Second-seeded Murray posted his

fourth tournament victory of the year.He won $685,200 while claiming the

Rogers Cup for a third time after hoist-ing the trophy in 2009 and 2010. His three wins tie Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Andre Agassi for second place all-time behind Ivan Lendl’s six victories.

The two top seeds split the first two sets in a three-hour match in hot, mug-gy conditions at Uniprix Stadium.

It played out with Murray serving at 3-1 in the third, already up a break.

A ferocious baseline battle that last-ed 18 minutes went to deuce 10 times and Murray fought off six break points

to all-but put the match away.Djokovic had two more break points

in the final game, but Murray pounded two service winners and eventually won when Djokovic hit a ground stroke long after a brief rally.

Djokovic said later that pain in his right elbow limited his ability to serve.

“Not taking anything away from him, from his victory,” Djokovic said. “He deserved it.

“He stepped in, played some great shots. Most of all the moments when he needed to, he served very, very well. That one game when I had I think four, five opportunities to break back, he just came up always with big serves, so

I couldn’t do much. But it was a great week all in all for me.”

Djokovic, whose game ran hot and cold all week, missed a chance for a fifth straight win of the year at a Mas-ters 1000 tournament, one level below the grand slams, and a 25th in his ca-reer.

He was in a ninth straight tourna-ment final, a run that included wins over Murray at the Australian Open and at Miami.

In the doubles final, twin brothers Bob and Mike Bryan defeated Daniel Nestor of Toronto and Edouard Roger-Vasselin of France 4-6, 6-3, 10-6.

Top draft prospect Matthews feels Switzerland best for development


MONTREAL — The idea to play pro hockey with the Zurich Lions was sparked in April when Auston Mat-thews led the U.S. team to gold at the IIHF world under-18 championship.

The 17-year-old from Scottsdale, Ariz. and his advisers liked what they saw and decided it was a better option than playing for either the WHL’s Ev-erett Silvertips or in the NCAA.

Matthews, likely to go first overall in the 2016 NHL draft, opted to sign a one-year deal with Zurich, where he will play against adults in the Swiss National League A under former NHL coach Marc Crawford.

“The idea came when he was in Switzerland,” agent Pat Brisson said Friday. “We felt he was ready to play in the NHL this year, so we looked at different options.”

The decision was criticized by some who felt the teen was simply looking to pick up a paycheque or perhaps force Everett to trade his rights. Brisson said it was a hockey decision.

It’s certainly an unusual route for a teenage prospect but Matthews is an unusual case.

His birthday is Sept. 17, two days af-ter the cutoff date for eligibility for the 2015 draft, where scouts say he would likely have gone second or third over-all behind phenom Connor McDavid.

Matthews and his entourage spoke to Crawford and other team officials, looked at the schedule, league and working conditions and decided it

was the right fit. Rather than endure long bus rides and a heavy schedule of games in the WHL, Matthews will be in a league with a shorter schedule, more practices than games and few bus trips longer than three hours. There are no overnight excursions.

In the Swiss League, the six-foot-two 195-pound Matthews will be skating in a higher paced game than junior hockey, against older players, some of whom once played in the NHL.

His Zurich teammates include for-mer NHL defenceman Marc-Andre Bergeron as well as former Ottawa and Vancouver centre Ryan Shannon and ex-Columbus forward Dan Fritsche.

“We felt it was best,” said Brisson. “He made it clear he wanted to be there and we decided to go for it.”

Matthews’ family was all for it too. His mother, Ema, has moved to Swit-zerland with him for the season.

He is already skating with the team, but will miss the first four games be-cause his Swiss work visa only kicks in when he turns 18.

Brisson said Matthews’ decision isn’t a knock against either the WHL or NCAA, which both have proven track records in developing top talent. But he added Matthews is an exceptional case due to his “late” birthday that kept him out of the NHL draft a year later than contemporaries like McDa-vid.

And it likely won’t start a stampede of junior-age players to Europe be-cause only a very few skaters that age have the size, skill and maturity of a player like Matthews.

Kenseth edges Harvick to get third win at Michigan


BROOKLYN, Mich. — Matt Kenseth had little to say about how NASCAR’s rules package affected his race at Michigan International Speedway.

“I didn’t see much of the race, which was totally fine with me,” he said. “We were up front the whole time.”

Kenseth started in the lead, stayed there for most of the race and finished with his third Sprint Cup victory of the season Sunday, beating Kevin Harvick by 1.7 seconds.

It was the second race under NA-SCAR’s high-drag aerodynamic pack-age, which was also in place at India-napolis last month in an effort to im-prove passing. At Michigan, Kenseth won while leading 146 of 200 laps — so whatever excitement there was oc-curred further back in the pack.

“Cars could really, at the end of the straightaway, gain on others, two or three car lengths,” said Jason Ratcliff, Kenseth’s crew chief. “But they just couldn’t do much once they got there,

and they got down in the corner. They were kind of helpless. On the restarts, it got exciting. ... I’d say eighth place back, it was fun to watch. Like Matt said, I’m glad he was watching it in the rear-view mirror.”

Kenseth led for 73 per cent of the laps Sunday, the highest percentage by anyone in a Cup race this year. He’d led for only 147 laps all season before dominating this 400-mile race in his No. 20 Toyota.

It was his 34th career victory, and Joe Gibbs Racing has won five of the last six Cup races — two by Kenseth and three by Kyle Busch.

“You really need to enjoy it, be-cause about 10 races back, we were struggling, trying to get there,” Gibbs said. “You just hope now that we’ll be able to hold some momentum here and head into the Chase, but it’s very hard to do. In pro sports, it can come and go in a week.”

JGR came into the race with the top three qualifiers in Kenseth, Denny Hamlin and Carl Edwards. Hamlin fin-ished fifth and Edwards was sixth.

Martin Truex Jr. finished behind Harvick in third. Austin Dillon, who was sent to the back at the beginning of the race because of an engine change,

managed a fourth-place showing, and Kyle Busch took another step toward wrapping up a spot in the Chase with an 11th-place run in his backup car.

Kenseth had a comfortable lead be-fore a caution with 17 laps remaining tightened things up, but he had little trouble holding off Harvick after the restart.

NASCAR used a special high-drag aerodynamic package for this race and last month’s at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. It was supposed to improve passing, but aside from one brief duel at the front between Kenseth and Dil-lon with about 55 laps left, there was little drama in terms of lead changes.

Kenseth led for the first 22 laps, and there were 16 lead changes after that.

Clint Bowyer’s Chase chances look more tenuous after he went into the wall Sunday and finished 41st. He’s now 15th in the standings.

Busch came into the race in 30th place, needing to avoid major mistakes because although he has four wins in 2015, a top-30 ranking is required for entry into the Chase. Busch wrecked his car in practice Saturday and had to start the race from the back, but he had a solid, uneventful day, even lead-ing for a couple stretches.

He’s now 29th in the standings, 23 points ahead of 31st-place Cole Whitt.

“It was a success,” Busch said. “It wasn’t what we wanted. We had a re-ally, really fast car yesterday, but I screwed up and wrecked that car. It was a winning car, maybe not the win-ning car. But congratulations to our teammate Matt Kenseth and the ’20’ bunch. It’s really good times for Joe Gibbs Racing right now.”

Harvick remained atop the stand-ings and now leads Joey Logano by 48 points. Logano finished seventh.

The rules package caused some concerns over the heat, and NASCAR mandated a dual outlet duct be used on the right-side window to help with ventilation and keep the cockpit from being too hot for the drivers. NBC Sports showed a reading of over 150 degrees in the cockpit of Casey Mears’ car — and that was still during the first quarter of the race.

“You knew it was going to be a lit-tle bit hotter. We prepared for that,” Kenseth said. “Started hydrating a couple days ago and drinking a lot of Gatorade and tried to eat right and get some sleep. ... It really wasn’t bad. Yeah, it was hot, but I’ve been a lot hotter.”

Problems piling up for ChelseaMAN CITY CRUISES TO 3-0 WIN OVER CHAMPIONS IN

PREMIER LEAGUEBY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MANCHESTER, England — One point from two games. An unseemly spat with medical staff. A porous de-fence. A rival back to its rampant best.

The problems are piling up for Chel-sea manager Jose Mourinho early in its Premier League title defence.

In the first heavyweight show-down of the season, Chelsea was over-whelmed Sunday in a 3-0 loss at Man-chester City that could have a lasting psychological effect among the two title favourites.

Sergio Aguero scored a stunning in-dividual strike in the first half before Vincent Kompany and Fernandinho added goals in the final 11 minutes, as City displayed the kind of attacking swagger that took them to the title in 2014.

“Today we made the complete work,” said City manager Manuel Pel-legrini, who punched the air with de-light after the final whistle as a sol-emn-looking Mourinho headed for the tunnel.

City tops the fledgling standings on maximum points, ahead of Leicester and Manchester United on goal differ-ence, while Chelsea is fifth from bot-tom after an uncomfortable start to the season.

Such was Mourinho’s concern after a one-sided first half at Etihad Sta-dium that he removed captain and central defender John Terry at half-time, in order to add pace to his back-line. It was the first time in 177 league matches that Mourinho has substituted Terry.

“He was not dancing in the dressing room,” Mourinho said, “but I can tell you that he was not having a bad reac-tion.”

Chelsea has conceded five goals in two games — it drew 2-2 at home to

Swansea on the opening weekend — and isn’t looking as dynamic going for-ward.

Throw in his much-publicized dis-agreement with two members of Chel-sea’s medical staff during the Swansea game, which led to them being dropped from match-day duties at City, and these are tough times for Mourinho.

City, which looks the early title fa-vourite on this evidence, is already five points ahead of last season’s cham-pions.

In Sunday’s other match, Arsenal won its first match of the campaign by beating Crystal Palace 2-1 away, restor-ing confidence after opening with a surprise 2-0 home loss to West Ham.

A stunning scissor kick by Olivier Giroud set Arsenal on its way in the 16th minute and it needed an own goal in the 55th by Palace defender Damien Delaney to secure the points at Sel-hurst Park.

Joel Ward equalized with a drilled shot inside the far post in the 28th, but the Palace right back then beaten in the air by Alexis Sanchez, whose header was diverted by Delaney into his own net for Arsenal’s winner.

“To get the three (points) is already a little bit of a turning point in the Premier League for us. To lose today would have been a big blow mentally,” Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said. “We have shown our strong response.”

At Etihad Stadium, Aguero made amends for a slew of early missed chances by exchanging passes with Yaya Toure, twisting inside his marker and placing a pinpoint shot inside the far post in the 32nd minute.

Kompany headed in David Silva’s corner in the 79th and Fernandinho drove in a third six minutes later for City’s second 3-0 victory in seven days, after beating West Bromwich Albion by that score on Monday.

Senior stars Toure and Kompany look back to their best and Aguero was a constant menace in his first start, having come back late in preseason.

“I think Sergio Aguero is in the best moment of his career,” Pellegrini said. “He was the top scorer (last season). I believe this season he can be even better.”

Favourite Danish Dynaformer captures Breeders’ Stakes


TORONTO — Patrick Husbands and Danish Dynaformer made the $500,000 Breeders’ Stakes a formality.

Husbands guided the 7/5 favourite to a commanding 7 ¾ -length victory on a hot, muggy Sunday afternoon at Woodbine Racetrack. Husbands regis-tered his fourth career Breeders’ vic-tory, tying him with Sandy Hawley and Robin Platts for most by a jockey.

And Husbands, of Brampton, Ont., knew early his horse was destined to win.

“I’d say about a mile out I knew I was the winner because as I gave him his head as he cleared the first turn, he spit the bit on me and I was happy,” Husbands said. “That’s what you really want going long . . . he was travelling so easy and wasn’t on the bit, he was just galloping.”

Trainer Roger Attfield earned his ninth Breeders’ victory, extending his record for most wins by a conditioner.

Husbands had Danish Dynaformer sitting no worse than third at any point in the race and second behind Samu-el Dechamplain coming into the final turn. Once in the stretch, Husbands let Danish Dynaformer loose and the only question that remained then was what the order of finish would be behind him.

“The first quarter was pretty re-laxed but I didn’t want him to lead, I just want these guys to pocket me,” Husbands said. “As we got to the (fi-nal) turn Jim McAleney (jockey aboard Prince of Wales champion Breaking Lucky) came up next to me and looked at me and said, ’Jock, what are you go-ing to do?’

“I said, ’All right,’ and I turned him loose. As I gave him his head he re-laxed and I just had an easy journey

from there.”Danish Dynaformer finished the 1

½ -mile race in 2:29.28 on a firm turf to earn the $300,000 winner’s share. Con-quest Boogaloo was second with Lucky Lindy third in 28 C temperatures with 58 per cent humidity.

McAleney and Breaking Lucky was last in the nine-horse field.

Danish Dynaformer paid $4.80, $3.10 and $2.20 while Conquest Boogaloo returned $4.70 and $3.30. Lucky Lindy paid $2.70.

Alan Garcia, Conquest Boogaloo’s jockey, said his horse had a difficult trip.

“It was rough in the first part but he came with a big run,” he said. “It was unlucky we were a little too far back, we followed the wrong horses and we ended up going backwards.

“It was a rough trip.”Robby Albardo, Lucky Lindy’s jock-

ey, praised the winner.“At the three-eighths pole I look a

little run at the winner,” he said. “He was the horse to beat and I made him work for a little while but he showed his class and went on.”

Husbands was humbled to tie Hall of Famers Hawley and Platts for most Breeders’ wins. But the 42-year-old, seven times Canada’s top jockey, has an eye on gaining sole possession of the record.

“Well, you know, I still have a cou-ple more years left,” he said with a chuckle. “I’m so happy and proud to win four Breeders’ in terms of two great Hall of Fame riders.

“I’m glad I’m in that class right now.”

Danish Dynaformer ran in all three Triple Crown races, finishing second to Shaman Ghost in the $1-million Queen’s Plate before a disappoint-ing sixth-place effort in last month’s $500,000 Prince of Wales.

ing into Red Deer’s oldest farm this past weekend felt like being a kid again.

Sunnybrook Farm Museum host-ed its 20th Annual Pioneer Days event, reuniting, and in many cases, introducing, Red Deerians to a time when day-to-day activities were simpler, and a little less automated.

The two-day event kicked off each morning with a Farmer Style Breakfast, followed by a Cowboy Church service on Sunday that at-tracted over 50 people.

Threshing and sawmill demon-strations were held, and people of all ages were invited to try their hand at a number of homestead crafts, including sewing, spinning and weaving.

A “Parade of Power” and tractor pull were amongst the more popu-lar attractions, showcasing tractors from decades gone by,

Children could take part in a pedal-tractor pull of their own at the playground, and go for a ride on a barrel train. Face painting, a number of games, and an animal ex-hibition featuring the farm’s cows, pigs, goats and sheep, amongst other animals, kept children busy throughout the day.

Those looking for something to snack on could take part in a cookie walk, or enjoy a slice of homemade pie and ice cream.

Sunnybrook Farm Museum is open to the public from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday through Saturday until Aug. 31. Admission is by donation.

BUSINESS C2MONDAY, AUG. 17, 2015

For many Canadians retirement just doesn’t end up being quite what they thought it would be.

The Canadian Association of Retired Persons esti-mates there are about 6.4 mil-lion retired or semi-retired people in Canada represent-ing nearly one fifth of the overall population.

Retirement income and lifestyle are two of the most common and critical issues facing pre- and post-retirees as they age into and through this phase of their lives. How one’s retirement is funded has a lot to do with the level of enjoyment and financial secu-rity that people have in their retirement.

Canadians are blessed to have a plethora of ways to save for and create income in their retirement. These include government and employer pensions, Registered Retirement Savings Plans (RRSPs), Tax Free Savings Accounts (TFSAs), retirement income portfolio products and, for busi-ness owners, Individual Pension Plans (IPPs) and self-payment strategies.

The expectations of Canadians who are not yet re-tired are somewhat at odds with some of the realities of retirement highlighted in a recent report by the Angus Reid Institute.

For example, 72 per cent of Canadians who are not yet retired expect to work into their 60s even though 45 per cent of them would prefer to retire at age 55.

Non-retired Canadians also tend to have a more pessimistic view of their financial security in retire-ment. Only 24 per cent expect to have enough money to do everything they want in retirement compared to 38 per cent of those who are currently retired and 28 per cent expect to be struggling to make ends meets versus 18 per cent of current retirees who re-ported having this problem.

Those who are not yet retired also have different perspectives about what will be their primary finan-cial support in retirement. Fewer of those not yet retired expect to rely on either a government and/or work pension as their primary source of income in retirement. Non-retirees say they are much more likely to rely on their own savings for retirement than those already retired.

“Underlying the trepidation many non-retired are feeling, a fair number said they expect to at least partly finance their retirement through downsizing assets and inheritance or family support,” the report found.

A recent report by Investors Group found that 40 per cent of Canadians are working with a financial adviser develop a financial plan and they appear to have a better grasp of their plans than those who are doing it on their own.

The Angus Reid report also looked at the overall satisfaction of life after work and what makes life

meaningful and vital. For retirees, quality of time with family, travel,

rest and relaxation, participating in leisure activi-ties, socializing with friend, volunteering, a rich spir-itual life and part-time paid work were priorities.

Non-retirees identified similar priorities when asked what they thought would enrich their retire-ment but were more likely to highlight travel and family time and less likely to single out socializing with friends and volunteering.

Health concerns cast a shadow on the retirement experience of both retired and non-retired Canadi-ans alike. While many Canadians protect their loved ones by investing in life insurance, fewer consider critical illness and long-term care insurance as part of their financial plan even though the chances of becoming seriously ill and surviving are far greater than the sudden loss of life.

“Insurance is not a sexy investment – the deci-sion can be emotional and the idea of it brings about visions that conflict with the future we see for our-selves,” says Tim Cottee, vice-president of Retiree Planning with Investors Group. “It is, however, pro-tection against your future that can rid you of the ‘what if’ worries and allow you to live out the retire-ment you had planned if the unexpected happens.”

MONTREAL — A beer war is brewing in Canada as SABMiller seeks to grow its presence following its divorce from partner Molson Coors.

Just four months after forming a Canadian subsid-iary, the world’s second-largest brewer is targeting dominant rivals Molson Coors (TSX:TPX.B) and In-bev’s Labatt.

“To say that we’re going to overtake the two big boys would be a bit of stretch so I would be happy to settle in at No. 3,” said general manager Paul Verdu.

To get there, SABMiller Canada hopes Miller Lite — available in Ontario and Newfoundland until 2010 — will steal market share from dominant players Co-ors Light and Bud Light.

Miller Genuine Draft, previously sold for about 20 years through a partnership with Molson Coors Can-ada, and premium brands such as Peroni, Pilsner Urquell and Grolsch will also be sold in Canada, though primarily outside Quebec.

All of SABMiller’s products will be imported from the United States or Europe.

Global demand for light beers has been growing. It accounts for about half of total beer sales in the U.S., but less than 30 per cent in Canada.

Beer market specialist Plato Logic estimates light beers account for 20 per cent of total beer volume and have been growing 2.1 per cent annually over the past five years.

Verdu sees opportunities for the “original” light

beer — Miller Lite — if only the beermaker can con-vince Canadian drinkers to give it a try.

The company plans to spend heavily to promote its brands and hopes to get help by not charging On-tario bars and restaurants the hefty premium they face from all other brewers except Brick Brewing’s Waterloo brand.

The move, which will amount to establishments paying the same amount that consumers fork out at the Beer Store, is an incentive for bars and restau-rants to carry more SABMiller brands, says James Rilett, Ontario vice-president of industry association Restaurants Canada.

“Miller sees themselves as a new player so they are trying to get market share and if that’s how they want to do it — give our members a fair price — then more power to them,” he said in an interview.

He added bars and restaurants will save an aver-age of $10 per case of beer, or almost $75 million an-nually.

Rilett hopes other brewers will follow SABMill-

er’s lead, but there is no sign yet of change.Labatt and Molson Coors said they don’t discuss

pricing or marketing strategies.Verdu said SABMiller is also trying to appeal to

Canadian consumers by promoting the taste and fea-tures of its products instead of “gimmick marketing” that focuses on lifestyle advertising.

Analyst Brittany Weissman of Edward Jones doesn’t expect Canada’s large brewers will sit back quietly.

Molson Coors recently said it would aggressively step up its advertising efforts as it looks to reverse market share losses and spur volume growth.

Weissman warns that spending alone won’t nec-essarily offset the loyalty consumers have for their favourite brands.

“Just because Miller has a message out there doesn’t mean that consumers are necessarily going to listen to it,” she said from St. Louis. “But it does increase the competition.”

Tyler Chamberlin, associate professor at Universi-ty of Ottawa’s Telfer School of Management, said the brewing industry faces global challenges as consum-ers flock to micro, craft and local brewers and reject “generic flavours” promoted by mega-brewers.

“SABMiller’s focus on flavour would seem to fit better with the current consumer tastes, though whether a mass producer can actually convince the public that this is their authentic approach to busi-ness remains to be seen,” he wrote in an email.

Fiat Chrysler recalling 85,816 Chrysler 200 sedans for defect that could

lead to stallingDETROIT — Fiat Chrysler is recalling 85,816

Chrysler 200 sedans globally because of an electrical problem that could cause the vehicles to stall.

The recall affects certain 2015 Chrysler 200 mid-size cars. Almost all were sold in the U.S., but the recall also covers 7,115 cars in Canada, 848 in Mexico and 19 outside North America.

Fiat Chrysler says some electrical connectors were damaged when a supplier was conducting post-production tests. The problem could cause the engine to stall or shift the gear unexpectedly to neu-tral. Fiat Chrysler says it’s unaware of any accidents or injuries related to the recall.

Customers will be notified and dealers will repair the vehicles for free.

Merkel sees no certainty that Greek bailout will succeed; rules out cutting

country’s debtBERLIN — German Chancellor Angela Merkel

says there’s no certainty the latest bailout for Greece will succeed but she is hopeful the country can over-come its economic crisis if it adheres to the agree-ments forged with its creditors.

Merkel also told German broadcaster ZDF on Sun-day that Greece can’t expect its debt to be cut.

The International Monetary Fund has insisted that Greece must be given some form of debt relief before it will participate in any new bailout, some-thing Germany wants. But Merkel said while repay-ment periods may be extended and interest rates can be tweaked, a so-called debt “haircut” is ruled out.

Dozens of lawmakers in Merkel’s conservative bloc plan to oppose the new bailout package for Greece at a special session of Parliament on Wednes-day.

Record beef prices fuel an increase in cattle rustling on the U.S.

GIDDINGS, Texas — Record beef prices have led to increases in the number of missing or stolen cattle. The nearly 5,800 livestock reported stolen in Texas last year was the most in five years. And the value of the animals — more than $5.7 million — was the most in a decade.

The Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers As-sociation sees the trend this year much the same. The nearly 140-year-old association has a team of 30 Special Rangers that investigates thefts covering 76 million acres in Texas and Oklahoma.

DILBERT


A British Columbia scientist is hop-ing to use a few cold ones to get the public thinking about really big cold ones — glaciers.

Brian Menounos, a glaciologist with the University of Northern British Co-lumbia, has teamed up with Kokanee beer for a project that will result in a better understanding of what’s hap-pening to western glaciers as well as a special batch of suds.

Kokanee is helping fund research into snowfall and melting rates on the Zillmer Glacier in British Columbia’s Cariboo Mountains. In return, the La-batt’s brand gets about five litres of water melted from snow that fell in 1962 — the year Kokanee was founded — to help brew a special, limited run of beer.

“I do see a good opportunity to help get the word out,” said Menounos. “If there’s an opportunity to disseminate what we do to the general public and have them become more interested and more concerned about the envi-ronment, then I think that’s a good thing.”

Depth in a glacier can be dated like rings on a tree, using thin layers of dust deposited on the snow every summer. Menounos and his colleagues have been studying the fate of glaciers in the Rocky Mountains for years.

“Which areas are melting fastest, what’s the quantity of melt, what’s the loss of ice from these glaciers? That helps land managers, allocation of wa-

ter, things of that sort.”The fate of the glaciers affects tour-

ism, aquatic ecosystems, agriculture, forestry, and water quality in many downstream Canadian cities.

Last spring, Menounos was a co-au-thor on a paper that concluded West-ern Canada’s glaciers are likely to shrink by about 70 per cent from 2005 levels by the end of the century. The ice level in the Zillmer Glacier drops an average of 60 to 70 centimetres a year, Menounos said.

When an ad agency for Labatt’s called him up to ask if they could get a bit of meltwater from 1962, he saw an opportunity.

“I’m not really in the ad business, but I did see there was an opportunity to have a partnership with a company if they truly supported research.”

Kokanee contributed $10,000 (most of Menounos’s research is funded by the Columbia Basin Trust). The five litres of meltwater will be used to make Deja Brew, said Kokanee brew-master Brad Ziefflie.

“It’s a bit of throwback beer to give people a bit of heritage, to take people back to the era when Kokanee was first produced in the Kootenays.”

It won’t taste any different, but will be sold in cans that reflect the brand’s original package.

“Because we were able to grab some of the remaining ice from Dr. Menou-nos, we were able to, in spirit, look at recreating one of the first-ever batches of Kokanee,” said Candy Lee, Kokanee brand manager.

Such partnerships can be useful,

said David Robinson of the Canadian Association of University Teachers.

“There’s lots of researchers work-ing with the private sector and there’s nothing wrong with that.”

The key is transparency, account-ability and academic freedom, said Robinson. And the research should be

driven by scientific, not commercial, priorities.

Menounos said he hopes to keep the partnership going.

Stay tuned, said Lee.“This is what we hope to be a first

step in more initiatives in how we can give back to the mountains.”

NEW YORK — Technology stocks are trending big-time as investors latch on to innovative companies rac-ing ahead in a slow-growth world.

The tech-heavy Nasdaq is the best performing major U.S. stock index this year, gaining 6.6 per cent as the Stan-dard & Poor’s 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial averages have wavered be-tween small gains and losses.

The industry has re-established it-self as the dominant sector in the U.S. stock market and currently accounts for 20 per cent of the value of the S&P 500 index. That is tech’s largest share since the dot-com bubble, and makes it the biggest sector in the market.

But the sector’s success isn’t univer-sal. Some of the most recent earnings reports from big tech companies have highlighted both the good and the bad for the industry.

Here are three positive trends for tech, and two negative ones.

ROOM TO GROWThe economy is still expanding,

but at a tepid pace. Tech companies, however, are generating rapidly rising sales and profits as they disrupt older industries. And that is drawing in in-vestors. Many think the Internet boom that ended in 2000 was just the first leg in a wave of technology growth.

“The global digital economy is in its infancy. It’s still being constructed,” says Joe Quinlan, chief market strate-gist at U.S. Trust in New York. “So we have tremendous upside when it comes to social media, e-commerce, retailing, you name it.”

Facebook’s revenue jumped 39 per cent in the second quarter. That com-pares with a 4 per cent fall for S&P 500 companies in the period. Revenue at business software company Salesforce.com, which hasn’t released its second-quarter figures yet, has tripled over the last five years.

SURPRISINGLY AFFORDABLEDespite its run-up, the sector is not

that pricey. In fact, tech stocks are trading at a slight discount to the mar-ket. The average price-earnings ratio, a measure of how much investors are willing to pay for each dollar of earn-ings, is 16.2 for tech companies in the S&P 500. That is below the 16.5 ratio for the entire index, meaning that tech as a group is fractionally cheaper than the overall market.

“I don’t see a valuations bubble,” says Jeremy Zirin, head of investment strategy at UBS Wealth Management in New York. “It’s not that there isn’t froth in some areas, it’s just not that pervasive.”

Even after a 19-fold increase in the price of Apple’s stock during the past decade, it’s difficult to argue that it costs too much.

The P/E for Apple’s stock is 12, con-siderably less than the average tech company and the overall market.

Google is another giant with mod-est valuations. The Internet compa-ny’s stock surged in mid-July after it reported better-than-expected earn-ings for the first time since October 2013. It rose further this month after it announced that it was changing its corporate structure. The change was welcomed by investors who want more transparency about how Google spends its money. Investors also liked what they heard from Google’s new chief financial officer, Ruth Porat, a Wall Street veteran, who has delivered a message of newfound austerity.

Businesses are still moving to the Internet and increasing their spending on advertising, trends that are far from over, says Matt Peron, managing direc-tor of global equity at Northern Trust, an asset manager. Those trends should benefit Google, the dominant force in online search and marketing.

That outlook, combined with a rea-sonable valuation, makes Google an attractive stock to own, he says..

DIVIDENDSDuring the last Internet boom, tech

companies developed reputations for being extravagant spenders. The mon-ey was spent chasing growth, not pleas-ing shareholders.

Nowadays, many of the larger, more established tech companies are return-ing cash to shareholders in the form of dividend payments. Two-thirds of technology firms in the S&P 500 pay a dividend, according to S&P Dow Jones Indices, accounting for 15 per cent of all dividend payments made by compa-nies in the index. Some of the biggest names in the sector even pay better-than-average dividends. Microsoft has a 2.6 per cent dividend yield, which measures how much a company pays in dividends compared to its stock price. The S&P 500 average is 1.9 per cent. IBM and Intel are also offering higher rates than the market.

Those quarterly payments are es-pecially appealing to investors in an era of extraordinarily low yields in other investments, such as high-quality bonds.

WATCH OUT FOR FROTHInvestors may be getting carried

away with the prospects for some stocks. Netflix is an example.

The company has been on an incred-ible run. Since bottoming out at a split-adjusted $7.54 in August 2012, the stock has soared 16-fold to peak at $126.45 on Aug. 6. Netflix has added 38 million subscribers around the world during the past three years while expanding into dozens of countries. It’s solidified its position as the leader in streaming video. But investors are paying a high price for that growth. The P/E on the stock has jumped to 427 this year.

Technology stocks are investors’ favourites again


TORONTO — Five things to watch in Canadian business this week:

Alberta Royalties: The province’s oilpatch will be closely watching when Alberta’s NDP government provides more details about its process to re-view the royalties paid by oil and gas companies. In June, Energy Minister Marg McCuaig Boyd announced that Dave Mowat, CEO of ATB, will lead the review, but companies are itching to know who else will sit on the pan-el, how consultations will unfold and when they can expect a decision.

Nine West: Sherson Group, owner of Canadian Nine West stores, is in court starting Thursday regarding its bank-ruptcy protection filing.

The shoe retailer owes $32.2 mil-lion to more than 60 different suppli-ers, lenders and other businesses, ac-cording to documents filed earlier this

month.Kinder Morgan: Tuesday is the dead-

line for people to respond in writing to the National Energy Board’s draft con-ditions for Kinder Morgan’s proposed Trans Mountain pipeline expansion. The pipeline company, meantime, has until Thursday to file its written argu-ments to the energy board. Dozens of participants have dropped out of the controversial NEB review of the Trans Mountain project, saying they can no longer support a “biased” and “unfair” process.

Cord-cutting: The Conference Board of Canada holds a webinar on Thurs-day entitled Cutting the Cord. Canada’s telecommunications giants have been grappling with an exodus of cable sub-scribers in recent months.

StatCan: The federal agency releas-es its key inflation measure, the con-sumer price index, for July on Friday. It’s also out with retail trade figures for the month of June.

Five things to watch for in Canadian business this week

Experts disagree on whether drone regulations

are too permissiveBY THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — Experts say Can-ada’s permissive approach to regulat-ing commercial drones has made it a world leader in the burgeoning field, while others warn that inadequate en-forcement of the soaring number of amateur flyers is putting the public at risk.

People have been increasingly tak-ing to the skies now that recreational drones are more affordable than ever.

That upswing in popularity, the lack of public-awareness campaigns and skimpy enforcement efforts have put the unmanned aircraft on a collision course with their manned counter-parts.

A rise in incidents involving recre-ational drones interfering with planes and helicopters has some calling for Transport Canada to sanction unlawful recreational drone users.

“Public awareness and enforcement is lacking,” said Ernie Zeisman, presi-dent of a drone training outfit in the British Columbia Interior. “They need to begin clamping down.”

Currently, a recreational pilot oper-ating a drone weighing under 35 kilo-grams doesn’t require either a licence or a special permit to fly but must fol-low a list of Transport Canada safety guidelines. These include stipulations such as staying nine kilometres from an airport, flying under 90 metres and always keeping their craft within eye-sight. Zeisman said a shortage of re-sources are mostly to blame for the lack of enforcement.

Commercial drones — officially re-ferred to as unmanned air vehicles, or UAVs — are a different matter, he said.

“Commercial operators very much stick to the regulations and want to be responsible,” said Zeisman. “They don’t want to lose their licence.”

Drones used for research or com-mercial work must have a Special Flight Operating Permit, unless they’re able to satisfy stringent exemption re-

quirements, such as operating in ex-tremely remote locations.

New regulations are currently work-ing their way through the system and are in part designed to incorporate recreational drone use into the regu-latory fold. They would also loosen permitting requirements for smaller-scale commercial operations, freeing up Transport Canada resources.

For commercial drones, Canada’s regulatory framework is emerging as a world leader.

Jeremy Laliberte, a professor at the University of Carleton, says Canada has long been “ahead of the game,” in part thanks to the country’s decade-long history of regulating drone use. It’s only been in recent years that the United States has made forays into the regulatory field.

“There’s far more happening here than down there, to say the least,” said Laliberte, a professor at Carleton Uni-versity.

“But they’re catching up,” he added.The United States has imposed a

universal ban on all commercial drone operations, with some exemptions. So far, the Federal Aviation Administra-tion has issued only 1,000 such allow-ances.

In contrast, Transport Canada grant-ed 1,672 permits last year, 945 in 2013 and 345 the year before. Between Jan. 1 and April 30 of this year 330 permits were issued.

The head start has given the country a comparative advantage in the drone sector, said Robert Kendall, executive director of Unmanned Systems Can-ada. Unmanned systems groups from Brazil and South Africa have come to Canada in recent years to learn about setting up their own regulatory frame-works, said Kendall.

Canada succeeded in drawing Ama-zon to British Columbia, where the on-line retail giant is testing a drone de-livery service. However, some industry representatives argued that Canadian regulations aren’t going far enough or fast enough, and Canada risks losing its competitive advantage.


WASHINGTON — A small drugmak-er from North Carolina may succeed next week where many of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies have failed: in winning approval for the first drug to boost women’s sexual desire.

The husband-and-wife team that founded Sprout Pharmaceuticals is not new to the pharmaceutical busi-ness or even to marketing drugs to people frustrated with their sex lives. The couple’s previous company, Slate Pharmaceuticals, sold an implantable testosterone pellet to men with low levels of the hormone.

But Slate’s marketing push ran afoul of federal rules, making mislead-ing, unsupported statements about the benefits of testosterone therapy while downplaying risks. In fact, when the Food and Drug Administration held a meeting examining the overprescrib-ing of testosterone last year, it played Slate’s commercial as an example of inappropriate marketing.

That record worries Sprout’s critics, who see a troubling pattern in the ag-gressive tactics it has used to urge the FDA to approve the women’s desire drug, which was previously rejected twice because of lacklustre effective-ness and side effects such as nausea, dizziness and fainting.

The search for a pill to increase women’s libido has been something of a holy grail for the pharmaceutical industry since the blockbuster success of Viagra for men in the late 1990s. Pfizer, Bayer and Procter & Gamble all studied — then abandoned — potential

treatments for female sexual desire disorder.

Sprout “already has a history of un-ethical marketing,” said Dr. Adriane Fugh-Berman of Georgetown Univer-sity. “If approved, I think this drug will be widely prescribed, and we would see an epidemic of adverse effects.”

After a year of lobbying by Sprout-backed supporters, the drug won a sur-prising 18-6 recommendation from a panel of FDA advisers in June. The FDA is scheduled to make its decision on the drug by Tuesday.

Sprout’s drug was actually acquired from Boehringer Ingelheim in 2011. The German drugmaker shelved the pill after a unanimous vote against its approval by FDA advisers in June 2010.

CEO Cindy Whitehead and her hus-band, Bob Whitehead, who preceded her as CEO, paid for the drug, dubbed Addyi, by selling off their testosterone business, which had grown to nearly 100 employees.

These days, the executives like to emphasize their company’s small size. In interviews, CEO Cindy Whitehead jokes that Sprout’s entire staff of 25 could fit in an elevator.

There is little financial information available about Slate or Sprout be-cause they have both been privately held. The Whiteheads say their hor-monal implant, Testopel, grew into the second most-prescribed testosterone treatment among urologists, ahead of competing gels and injections.

But the company’s promotional ef-forts went too far.

In March 2010, the FDA sent Slate an 11-page warning letter, highlighting a host of misleading, unsupported and

inaccurate statements in its brochures, websites and a video. In a rare step, the FDA held a teleconference with the company to outline its “serious concerns.”

Among the many problems, the company’s website suggested Testopel could benefit patients with depression, diabetes and HIV.

“The FDA is unaware of any data to support these claims,” the letter said.

In a video, Slate featured Harvard Medical School professor Abraham Morgentaler, claiming that testoster-one could boost men’s energy and li-bido.

“Their strength may improve. Their workouts at the gym may get better. They start chasing their wives around the room a little bit. They just feel like guys again,” Morgentaler said. The FDA said his claims were unproven.

This past May, the FDA directed all testosterone drugmakers to clarify that their drugs are intended only for men with low testosterone due to disease or injury — not normal aging. And new warning labels also stress the risk of heart attack and stroke with the hor-mone.

When Slate marketed Testopel, that information was not yet required. But the company’s materials failed to dis-close a laundry list of other known

risks, including prostate cancer, swell-ing, nausea, vomiting, acne, liver prob-lems and headaches.

“I can’t remember seeing a warn-ing letter with so many examples of misbranding in it,” said Fugh-Berman, who recently signed a petition urging the FDA to reject Addyi, citing mini-mal benefits and dangerous side ef-fects.

Cindy Whitehead said Slate immedi-ately discontinued the materials cited by the FDA, and she insisted the com-pany will promote Addyi carefully.

“We would never want a patient who’s not going to see a benefit to take it and tell everyone it doesn’t work,” she said. At the FDA meeting in June, Sprout offered to hold off on television advertising for up to 18 months after the drug’s initial approval.

For now, the company has raised $50 million in venture capital to fund its efforts, according to a recent disclo-sure form.

Analysts said Sprout could easily recoup that money and eventually be purchased by a larger drugmaker.

“I think they’ll sell a lot of it, and the company will probably get acquired by somebody who wants to acquire all of that cash flow,” said Erik Gordon, a business professor at the University of Michigan.

Drug execs seeking approval for female libido pill


TORONTO — Moments after the first person treated with ZMapp started re-ceiving the experimental Ebola drug he could feel effects which suggested it was working.

Dr. Kent Brantly’s soaring tempera-ture abated within 15 minutes. Ninety minutes after the infusion started, the American doctor was able to walk to the bathroom for the first time in a day and a half, Brantly recounts in the new book “Called for Life,” which he wrote with his wife Amber.

Brantly’s recovery from what his doctors believed was death’s doorstep was widely credited to the drug ZMapp, an antibody cocktail designed at Cana-da’s National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg.

But a year later, a clinical trial set up to prove whether the drug is actu-ally effective has yet to come up with a conclusion.

And with new Ebola cases occurring at a rate of two or three a week at this point, it’s unclear if an answer can be arrived at before the unprecedented West African outbreak is finally extin-guished.

“It will be very hard to have a def-inite answer on the value of a drug which has been considered as promis-ing,” Dr. Marie-Paule Kieny, the World Health Organization’s point person for development of Ebola vaccines and drugs, says of the current situation.

Dr. Clifford Lane, charged with overseeing Ebola clinical trials for the U.S. National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases, acknowledges en-rolling enough cases to complete the trial is a challenge at this point.

Still, Lane hopes the trial will not be the equivalent of a hung jury. “I have to say I would like us to get to a result because I’d like to know what this drug does.”

Hopes have long been high for

ZMapp, a combination of three differ-ent human antibodies that fight the Eb-ola virus. Two of the antibodies were isolated and cloned by scientists at the Winnipeg lab while the third was developed by researchers at the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of In-fectious Diseases in Frederick, Md.

Both labs had created unique ver-sions of a three-antibody cocktail, both of which showed promise when tested in non-human primates. But the Win-nipeg group worked to optimize the approach by testing various combina-tions of the six antibodies to identify the mixture that worked best.

The antibodies are grown in ge-netically modified tobacco plants, a process that doesn’t allow for rapid development of ZMapp. When Ebola exploded in West Africa in the spring and early summer of 2014, there were fewer than a dozen treatment courses available.

Those were quickly used to try to save the lives of health-care workers like Brantly who were infected while working in Ebola clinics. Most sur-vived, though an elderly Spanish mis-sionary died before he could receive the full treatment.

By late winter enough ZMapp had been made to start a clinical trial to try to determine if the drug was as effec-tive as the recoveries would suggest.

But massive international efforts to bring the outbreak under control were paying off. Over the course of this spring and summer, case counts fell to a few dozen a week and then to the current weekly tallies of fewer than a handful.

Lane says nearly 60 people have been enrolled in the trial so far, with Ebola patients randomly assigned to get either supportive care — the stan-dard treatment — or supportive care plus ZMapp.

The trial’s Data and Safety Monitor-ing Board has taken periodic looks at the data to date, and they will do so

again next week. The fact that these outside experts haven’t stopped the trial tells us two things.

The first: ZMapp hasn’t yet been shown to be a statistically better treat-ment than supportive care. If it was clear the drug was effective it would be unethical to withhold it and the trial would have been ended.

The second: The drug hasn’t been shown not to work either. A study of another drug, TKM-Ebola, was stopped when its Data and Safety Monitoring Board concluded there was no hope giving it to more people would show it was effective.

“The fact that the study is ongoing indicates there is hope that the prod-uct (ZMapp) will work,” Kieny says.

Lane says he had anticipated that an answer would be found when the trial had enrolled somewhere between

40 and 100 Ebola patients. The bet-ter a drug works, the faster an answer becomes clear. Some researchers who are rooting for the drug worry that the trial design may be making ZMapp look less effective than they believe it to be. They argue ZMapp cannot save Ebola patients who are too far along in the disease, so enrolling them in the study makes it harder to see if and how well the drug works.

Lane flips that argument around.Yes, anyone who can be given an in-

fusion can be enrolled in the trial, he says, noting the sickest have the most to gain if ZMapp is effective.

But patients who are less sick may survive with supportive care alone, he says. If ZMapp only shortens their hos-pital stays, it would likewise be hard to prove that the drug increases the chances of survival.

LOS ANGELES — The boys from Compton smashed opening week-end expectations, while the stylish The Man From U.N.C.L.E. struggled to find its footing.

Universal’s N.W.A. biopic earned an aston-ishing $56.1 million in its debut, according to stu-dio estimates Sunday.

Director F. Gary Gray’s well-received film charts the formation and rise of the influential rap group. It cost just $29 million to produce. N.W.A. members Dr. Dre and Ice Cube served as producers on the film, which has Ice Cube’s real son O’Shea Jackson Jr. playing his father. Dr. Dre also released the companion piece Comp-ton, — his first new al-bum in 16 years. Nick Carpou, Universal’s president of domestic distribution, said they were “elated” with the results. Universal had previously predicted a very conservative $25 to $30 million opening.

“It really struck a chord with audiences. It’s a story that is reso-nating right now,” said Paul Dergarabedian, Rentrak’s senior media analyst. “It was one of those records that was an important work and a very important ex-pression of a particular viewpoint. To this day, that album has so much power.”

Beyond the fandom around N.W.A. and the timeliness of the themes, Universal also launched a clever mar-keting campaign around the film, Straight Outta Somewhere, which allows social media users to in-sert photos in the iconic

Straight Outta Compton album cover and write in a hometown of their choosing. There have been over 5.4 million downloads to date and it trended No. 1 across Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for two days in a row.

“We’ve got the best marketers in the busi-ness and they under-stand their audiences,” Carpou said. “The good news here is it attaches to a product that we’re exceedingly proud of.”

According to exit polls, audiences for the R-rated film were evenly divided between gen-ders, 51 per cent were under the age of 30, 46 per cent were African-American and 23 per cent Caucasian.

Meanwhile, Warner Bros. PG-13-rated adap-tation of the 1960s televi-sion series The Man From U.N.C.L.E. debuted in third place, behind Mis-sion: Impossible — Rogue Nation, with a sluggish $13.5 million.

“I was hoping for a lit-tle higher number, quite frankly,” said Jeff Gold-stein, executive vice-president of domestic distribution for Warner Bros. The goal had been a modest $15 million. The period spy thriller will have an uphill battle to make up its $80 mil-lion production budget.

“ ( D i r e c t o r ) G u y Ritchie made an original and fun movie. Eighty-six per cent of our audi-ence was over 25 and 39 per cent are over 50,” he said. “Older audiences, we all know, don’t rush out opening weekend.”

T h e M a n F r o m U.N.C.L.E. stars Henry Cavill and Armie Ham-mer as a pair of Ameri-can and Russian agents in the fashionable Cold

War-era film. Goldstein noted that they weren’t able to attract a signifi-cant younger audience, who are likely not fa-miliar with the source material. The 7 per cent who did turn out gave the film a favourable A- CinemaScore, and Gold-stein hopes that word-of-mouth will spread in the coming weeks. Fox’s Fantastic Four plummet-ed to $8 million to take the fourth place spot, while The Gift took fifth with $6.5 million. But it’s Universal’s weekend to celebrate once more in what has become a ban-ner year for the studio. Universal crossed the $2 billion mark domestical-ly on Saturday.

Straight Outta Compton goes straight to the top

HBO gets Sesame Street for the next five seasonsBY HANK STUEVER

SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE

Big Bird and Elmo, meet your rich new friend, Li’l Tyrion.

The non-profit producer of public television’s Sesame Street and HBO announced a unique and surprising partnership in which the premium sub-scription network will air the next five seasons of the Emmy-winning, Muppet-populated educational series for children.

New episodes of Sesame Street could start airing and streaming on HBO’s TV and internet platforms as early as this fall. Those new episodes of Sesame Street will continue to be available to PBS and its member stations, which have considered the show a mainstay of their schedules since it debuted in November 1969. The PBS stations will be able to air the show — now free of charge, HBO says — nine months after HBO airs them. The deal is a boon to the non-profit Sesame Workshop (which until 2000 was known as the Children’s Television Workshop); with HBO’s financial backing, Sesame Workshop said it can produce almost twice as many episodes as it has in previous seasons, according to a joint state-ment from executives at both companies.

Sesame Workshop CEO Jeffrey D. Dunn said the deal “represents a true, winning public-private part-nership model. It provides Sesame Workshop with the critical funding it needs to continue production

of Sesame Street’ and secure its non-profit mission of helping kids grow smarter, stronger and kinder.”

HBO Chairman and CEO Richard Plepler and HBO programming president Michael Lombardo said in a statement that the network is “[A]bsolutely thrilled to help secure the future of Sesame Street and Sesame Workshop’s mission. ... ‘Sesame Street’ is the most important preschool education program in the history of television. We are delighted to be a home for this extraordinary show and helping (it) expand and build its franchise.” So what does this mean? It almost certainly means that HBO, reaching about 36 million U.S. households via TV, has noticed how its rising competitors, such as Netflix and Ama-zon, are rapidly adding children’s programming to the adult-oriented original programs they offer their streaming customers. In its characteristic way, HBO seems to have gone for the most A-list, respected name in children’s programming. The network has added a number of ways to access its content via on-demand services and a new streaming service, HBO Now, that allows customers to get HBO without hav-ing to also pay for cable or satellite service.

(And lest anyone forget, there are traces of Mup-pet DNA in HBO’s family history: It aired 96 episodes of the late Jim Henson’s raucous, kinda-pop-psycho-logical kids’ show Fraggle Rock in the 1980s.)

Public-TV fans who don’t subscribe to any of HBO’s services will still be able to see new episodes of Sesame Street on their local PBS stations and through the PBS Kids service, after a nine-month window for HBO to air the series exclusively.


ANAHEIM, Calif. — The force will awaken in just 125 days, but Star Wars fans didn’t learn anything new about the film at Disney’s D23 convention on Saturday.

Audiences at the biannual fan expo were, how-ever, informed that Jurassic World director Colin Trevorrow is set to direct Star Wars: Episode IX and saw a first glimpse of the cast of Gareth Edwards’ an-thology film Star Wars: Rogue One.

But Star Wars: The Force Awakens, out Dec. 18, re-mains cloaked in secrecy. Director J.J. Abrams, stars Harrison Ford, Oscar Isaac, Daisy Ridley, Lupita Nyong’o, and John Boyega were on hand to wave at the screaming audience in the 7,500-seat auditorium, but revealed no new footage or information about the film.

Ford, who appeared with the cast at Comic-Con in July, spoke briefly when the audience screams died down.

“I’m following in the footsteps of George Lucas, the author of the early parts of my story, and now I’m delighted to be here with J.J. and the cast and Disney, which has supported this effort in a really extraordinary way,” said Ford, who will be playing Han Solo once more in the film, set about 30 years after the events of Return of the Jedi.

“It’s a great thrill to be here with you and who made this whole thing happen, I couldn’t be hap-pier,” he said.

After showing only behind-the-scenes footage at Comic-Con, many expected to see something new from the film at the Disney-only event, but the cast was shuffled off stage quickly so that Disney CEO Bob Iger could announce the plans for “Star Wars” themed lands at the Disney Parks.

Disney acquired Lucasfilm in 2012 and has a slew of Star Wars films and spin-offs set for the next few years. The new trilogy will kick off with Abrams’ film this December, followed by Looper writer/director Rian Johnson’s Star Wars: Episode VIII.

Trevorrow, whose “Jurassic World” broke box office records this summer with over $1.6 billion in global earnings had been rumoured to be joining the Star Wars fold before Saturday’s announcement. Epi-sode IX is planned for 2019.

In addition to the main trilogy, Disney and Lucas-film are making a number of anthology spin-offs set in the Star Wars universe, including Edwards’ Rogue One, starring Felicity Jones and Diego Luna as reb-els attempting to steal the plans for the Death Star, and a young Han Solo film from The LEGO Movie di-rectors Phil Lord and Chris Miller.

Beyond Star Wars, Disney previewed upcoming live-action films Beauty and the Beast, a lavish musi-cal starring Emma Watson and featuring the songs of Alan Menken, the Uganda-set The Queen of Katwe starring Lupita Nyong’o, and Alice Through the Look-ing Glass, the sequel to 2010’s box office smash Alice in Wonderland.

Teams scramble to clear chemical contamination

at China blast siteBY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TIANJIN, China — Authorities pulled more bodies from a massive blast site at China’s Tianjin port, push-ing the death toll to 112 on Sunday as teams rushed to clear dangerous chemicals and prosecutors prepared an investigation into those respon-sible for the disaster.

More than 700 people were injured and 95 people, including dozens of firefighters, are missing after a fire and rapid succession of blasts late Wednesday hit a warehouse for haz-ardous chemicals in a mostly indus-trial area of Tianjin, 120 kilometres (75 miles) east of Beijing.

By Sunday, authorities confirmed there were “several hundred” tons of the toxic chemical sodium cyanide on the site at the time of the blasts, al-though they said there have not been any substantial leaks.

Sodium cyanide is a toxic chemical that can form a flammable gas upon contact with water, and several hun-dred tons would be a clear violation of rules cited by state media that the warehouse could store no more than 10 tons at a time.

Tianjin officials have ordered a citywide check on any potential safety risks and violation of fire rules, man-dating suspension of operations for factories that cannot immediately comply with safety rules. Chinese Pre-mier Li Keqiang was in Tianjin on Sunday, visiting those injured and dis-placed by the disaster.

The country’s top prosecuting of-fice announced Sunday that it was set-

ting up a team to investigate possible offences such as dereliction of duty related to the massive blasts.

State media have reported that Zhi Feng, general manager of the ware-house operator Ruihai International Logistics, was already under police watch while getting medical treat-ment.

The death toll includes at least 21 firefighters — making the disaster the deadliest for Chinese firefighters in more than six decades — and their toll could go much higher. About 1,000 firefighters responded to the disaster, and 85 of them remained unaccounted for on Sunday.

Angry relatives of the missing fire-fighters and local residents whose homes were destroyed by the blasts showed up at a government news con-ference Sunday to demand informa-tion and accountability.

The public has raised concerns whether firefighters were put into harm’s way in the initial response to the fire and whether the hazardous material — including compounds com-bustible on contact with water — was properly taken into account in the way the firefighters responded.

The massive explosions late Wednesday night happened about 40 minutes after reports of a fire at the warehouse and after an initial wave of firefighters arrived and, reportedly, doused some of the area with water.

Outside the Mayfair Hotel, where the authorities hold regular news con-ferences, a woman pleaded Sunday for information on her husband.

“They have said nothing. We know nothing,” the woman said. “We’ve been told nothing.”

U.S. surgeon general says he has no regrets about saying gun violence is a

public health issueSAN FRANCISCO — The nation’s

chief doctor said he doesn’t regret saying gun violence is a public health issue, calling his difficult confirma-tion process a consequence of speak-ing out.

Surgeon General Vivek Murthy said Saturday that the backlash from his gun-control statement was disappoint-ing but not a surprise.

He was confirmed in December in the face of opposition from the Nation-al Rifle Association, which was a rare defeat for the powerful gun lobby.

Murthy said the challenging pro-cess showed him the importance of community, including those from the medical, public health, technol-ogy and Asian-American communities who rallied in support of him.

The doctor said he still believes gun violence is a preventable health problem, comparing it to seatbelts and swimming pool safety.

He was speaking at the Asian Amer-ican Journalists Association conven-tion gala in San Francisco.

Eight killed as Indian, Pakistani troops trade

fire and blame in divided Kashmir

SRINAGAR, India — Indian and Pakistani troops traded heavy gun-fire and mortar rounds for a seventh straight day Sunday along the highly militarized line of control dividing the disputed Himalayan region of Kash-mir between the two archrivals, offi-cials said.

Indian army spokesman Lt. Col. Manish Mehta said Pakistani troops fired on Indian positions in Balakote and Poonch sectors. Indian police offi-cer Danish Rana said six civilians had died in the Pakistani shelling over the last two days. At least 17 others were wounded.

Pakistan’s army said in a statement that two civilians had been killed and two others wounded in the fighting.

The fighting follows a familiar pat-tern, with each side blaming the other. Both sides used terms like “unpro-voked firing” and “befitting reply” to describe the actions of the other, and detailed their own response.

Despite a 2003 cease-fire, the two neighbours regularly trade fire, the latest coming as India celebrated In-dependence Day on Saturday. Paki-stan observed it a day earlier.

Mehta said the clashes were still going on Sunday evening.

India’s ministry of external affairs summoned Pakistan’s high commis-sioner to New Delhi to lodge a formal protest against the “unprovoked” fir-ing, a ministry statement said.

Kashmir is divided between India and Pakistan but claimed in its entire-ty by both. The countries have fought two of their three wars over their com-peting claims to Kashmir.

The recent fighting comes even as the top security advisers of both coun-tries are scheduled to meet in the In-dian capital on Aug. 23. The two men are expected to talk about combatting terrorism in the region.

Three dead following midair collision of small planes in

southern CaliforniaSAN DIEGO — Three people are

dead Sunday following the midair col-lision and crash of two small planes near an airport in southern San Diego County, authorities said.

The collision occurred around 11 a.m. about three kilometres northeast of Brown Field Municipal Airport, ac-cording to Federal Aviation Adminis-tration spokesman Ian Gregor.

Three fatalities were reported, Sheriff’s Lt. Jim Bolwerk said. He did not have details on the victims but said they were apparently on board the planes. There were no reports of injuries on the ground.

Both planes — a twin-engine Sabre-liner and a single-engine Cessna 172 — were inbound to Brown Field at the time of the crash, Gregor said.

Crews extinguished small fires sparked in dry brush at the crash site in a rural area, Bolwerk said.

Brown Field, a former Navy aux-iliary air station, is in the Otay Mesa area about 24 kilometres southeast of San Diego.

Capital murder trial to begin for white supremacist accused in Kansas Jewish

site shootingsKANSAS CITY, Mo. — Jury selec-

tion is expected to take up to a week in the capital murder trial of a Mis-souri man who claims he was morally obligated to kill three people at two suburban Kansas City Jewish sites.

Frazier Glenn Miller Jr. has pub-licly admitted firing the shots that killed 69-year-old William Corporon, 14-year-old Reat Griffin Underwood and 53-year-old Terri LaManno on April 13, 2014.

The 74-year-old avowed white su-premacist says he didn’t know none of the victims was Jewish.

Miller is representing himself in a case that could result in the death penalty. Johnson County Judge Thom-as Kelly Ryan has warned him that any outbursts in front of jurors could result in a mistrial.

Ryan ruled last month that Miller can’t use “compelling necessity” as a defence for the killings.

WORLDBRIEFS


JAKARTA, Indonesia — An airliner carrying 54 people went missing Sunday during a short flight in bad weather in Indonesia’s mountainous eastern-most province of Papua, and rescuers were heading to an area where villagers reported seeing a plane crash into a mountain, officials said.

The Trigana Air Service plane was flying from Papua’s provincial capital, Jayapura, to the Papua city of Oksibil when it lost contact with Oksibil’s air-port, said Transportation Ministry spokesman Julius Barata. There was no indication that the pilot had made a distress call, he said.

The ATR42-300 twin turboprop plane was carrying 49 passengers and five crew members on the sched-uled 42-minute journey, Barata said. Five children, including two infants, were among the passengers.

Local media reports said all the passengers are Indonesians. The airline did not immediately re-lease a passenger manifest.

Oksibil, which is about 280 kilometres (175 miles) south of Jayapura, was experiencing heavy rain, strong winds and fog when the plane lost contact with the airport minutes before it was scheduled to land, said Susanto, the head of Papua’s search and rescue agency.

Residents of Okbape village in Papua’s Bintang district told local police that they saw a plane flying low before crashing into a mountain, said Susanto, who like many Indonesians goes by one name. He said about 150 rescuers were heading to the remote area, which is known for its dense forest and steep

cliffs, and would begin searching for the plane early Monday.

Okbape is about 24 kilometres (15 miles) west of Oksibil.

At a news conference Sunday night at the trans-port ministry in Jakarta, officials said they would not have any details on the villagers’ report until rescu-ers reach the area.

“We are now working closely with the National Search and Rescue Agency to find the plane,” said Transport Minister Ignasius Jonan.

A plane was sent Sunday to look for the missing airliner, but the search was suspended due to dark-ness and limited visibility and will resume Monday morning, Susanto said.

Much of Papua is covered with impenetrable jun-gles and mountains. Some planes that have crashed there in the past have never been found.

Dudi Sudibyo, an aviation analyst, said that Papua is a particularly dangerous place to fly because of its mountainous terrain and rapidly changing weather patterns. “I can say that a pilot who is capable of fly-ing there will be able to fly an aircraft in any part of the world,” he said.

European plane maker ATR said in a statement late Sunday that it “acknowledges the reported loss of contact” with the Trigana flight “and is standing by to support the relevant aviation authorities.” An ATR spokesman would not comment further.

ATR, based in Toulouse, France, is a leading mak-er of regional planes with 90 seats or less.

Indonesia has had its share of airline woes in recent years. The sprawling archipelago nation of 250 million people and some 17,000 islands is one of Asia’s most rapidly expanding airline markets, but is struggling to provide enough qualified pilots, me-chanics, air traffic controllers and updated airport technology to ensure safety.

From 2007 to 2009, the European Union barred Indonesian airlines from flying to Europe because of safety concerns.

Last December, all 162 people aboard an AirAsia jet were killed when the plane plummeted into the Java Sea as it ran into stormy weather on its way from Surabaya, Indonesia’s second-largest city, to Singapore.

Brazilians take to the streetsBY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAO PAULO — Brazilians took to the streets of cities and towns across the country Sunday for anti-government protests being watched as a barometer of discontent with the increasingly unpopular Presi-dent Dilma Rousseff.

Called mostly by activist groups via social media, the demonstrations assailed Rousseff, whose stand-ing in the polls has plunged amid a snowballing cor-ruption scandal that has embroiled politicians from her Workers’ Party as well as a sputtering economy, a weakening currency and rising inflation.

But the protests drew relatively modest crowds, likely giving the president some breathing room. Huge numbers had come out for two earlier rounds of demonstrations this year.

Turnout appeared significantly lower in Sao Pau-lo, Brazil’s industrial and economic capital where dissatisfaction with Rousseff has run particularly high and protests in March and April drew thick crowds. The president’s supporters also staged a small counter-demonstration in front of the offices of her mentor and predecessor as president, Luiz Ina-cio Lula da Silva.

The Datafolha polling firm estimated 135,000 peo-ple demonstrated against Rousseff on Sao Paulo’s Avenida Paulista, one of the city’s largest avenues, while state police put the number at 350,000. Crowd-counting experts have long criticized Brazilian po-lice estimates, saying they overestimate crowds by relying on photos of only the most crowded areas to estimate a gathering. Datafolha breaks the avenue up into sections and gauges density for each section.

In Rio de Janeiro, several thousand people, many brandishing green and yellow Brazilian flags, dem-onstrated at Copacabana Beach. The demonstration was planned to coincide with a cycling test event for next year’s Olympics in the city, but organizers changed the route and timing of the sports event to avoid a possible clash.

Protests took place in some 16 states, including in the Amazonian metropolis of Belem, Recife in the northeast, and the central city of Belo Horizonte. In the capital, Brasilia, a march on a central avenue flanked by ministries and monuments appeared to have drawn several thousand participants.

The demonstrations were called largely by web-based activist groups with demands ranging from Rousseff’s impeachment to a return to military dicta-torship like the one that ruled the country in 1964-85.

But an end to corruption appeared to be a top demand. The widening probe into corruption at the

state-run Petrobras oil company that began more than a year ago has exposed how widely official graft permeates Brazilian society, snaring top members of the Workers’ and other political parties as well as executives of powerful construction companies.

Marisa Bizquolo, who joined in the Sao Paulo protest, said she held Rousseff responsible for the Petrobras scandal.

“She must be impeached or resign for ultimately she is responsible for all the corruption and the economic mess this country is in,” said Bizquolo, a doctor. “But I am concerned that there is no one who could take her place and run a decent government. We have no leaders.”

Amid the corruption probe and an economic crunch that has seen the once-booming economy teeter on the brink of recession, Rousseff’s popu-larity ratings have fallen to a level not seen since 1992, when President Fernando Collor de Mello was forced from office after being impeached for corrup-tion.

A poll earlier this month said only 8 per cent of those surveyed considered Brazil’s government to be “great” or “good.” By contrast, 71 per cent said the government is a “failure.” The Datafolha poll was based on interviews with 3,358 people on Aug. 4 and 5 and had an error margin of plus or minus 2 percentage points.

Trump releases a policy paper, and it’ll be controversialBY THE CANADIAN PRESS

WASHINGTON — The bombast-heavy, details-light presidential campaign of Donald Trump has entered a new phase: that of releasing a few policy specifics spelling out how he’d govern.

For weeks, the reality-star-businessman has led Republican primary polls without any platform de-tails on his website and he’s skated when asked about substance. But in an indication that he intends his presidential run to be more than a mere celeb-rity stunt, he’s hired staff in early primary states and he released his first platform paper Sunday.

Cue the controversy.The six-page paper on immigration threatens the

Mexican government, the business community, and millions of families living in the U.S. under uncer-tain legal status. It’s the kind of stuff that’s made him an early favourite in polls of Republican supporters, as yet another survey Sunday showed him with a double-digit lead over his next primary rival.

One section explains how he’d achieve an unlikely feat: build a multibillion-dollar wall across the U.S.’s southern border, and get the Mexican government to pay for it.

Trump says he’d apply financial pressure until the Mexicans pay up. He says he’d impound cross-border remittance payments linked to illegal wages; hike fees for work visas for Mexican CEOs and diplomats, and potentially even cancel them; and increase fees for border-crossing cards and NAFTA worker visas from Mexico.

”The Mexican government has taken the United

States to the cleaners,” says the paper.“They are responsible for this problem, and they

must help pay to clean it up.”The plan goes on like this for six pages.He would triple the number of U.S. immigration

officers; end jobs visas for foreign students; defund so-called sanctuary cities that shelter undocument-ed migrants; detain and deport undocumented mi-grants; suspend the granting of green cards until more unemployed Americans enter the work force; and, in one of his more controversial proposals, end automatic citizenship for babies born in the U.S.

Trump has also said he’d undo President Barack Obama’s executive orders, including one that grant-ed residency rights to the children of people who entered the U.S. illegally.

Those actions would affect millions of people.One immigration group panned Trump’s plan as

an unconstitutional, ”nativist wish-list of ugly pro-posals” that would leave ”a moral stain on the fabric of this nation,” cripple the economy, and violate the guarantee of birthright citizenship promised under the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

When pressed in an interview Sunday about the potential turmoil his plan would cause, Trump was unapologetic. The paper proposes an attitude shift, away from an immigration system that benefits the corporate class but not middle-class Americans: ”When politicians talk about ’immigration reform’ they mean: amnesty, cheap labor and open borders... nothing more than a giveaway to the corporate pa-trons who run both parties. Real immigration reform puts the needs of working people first — not wealthy globetrotting donors.”


Demonstrators shout anti-government slogans as they march holding a giant flag with the word “Impeachment” written on it, during a protest demanding the impeachment of Brazil’s President Dilma Rousseff in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Sunday. Demonstrations are taking place across Brazil against President Rousseff, whose popularity has never been lower as she faces a sputtering economy and a massive corruption scandal.

NEW YORK — These Wheaties may not be so good with milk.

Wheaties says it is partnering with a craft brewery to create a limited-edition beer. The 16-ounce cans will only be available in the Minneapolis-St. Paul market starting Aug. 26, according to Wheaties par-ent company General Mills.

It’s not exactly clear what makes it Wheaties beer, besides being made from wheat.

General Mills says the beer will be called Hefe-Wheaties in a nod to a German style of beer called hefeweizen, which is typically made with more than 50 per cent malted wheat.

“We’re not saying it’s a breakfast beer, but we’re not saying it’s not,” said Ryan Petz, president of Ful-ton Brewery, the Minneapolis-based brewery that is making the beer.

Petz said the beer is also intended to tie his com-pany to heritage of Minneapolis, which is also home to General Mills’ headquarters. Fulton will consider making the beer more widely available depending on how people react to the initial run, he said.

Mike Siemienas, a General Mills spokesman, said the company left the development of the beer to Ful-ton. He declined to say whether the company plans to tap an athlete or celebrity to endorse the beer.

The companies also declined to disclose the fi-nancial terms of their agreement. But it could be one way General Mills counters struggling cereal sales, which have suffered as Americans increas-ingly reach for options like Greek yogurt or fast-food breakfast sandwiches in the morning.

Wheaties in particular has seen sales declines, and is a tiny part of General Mills’ cereal business, said Jared Koerten, an analyst for market research-er Euromonitor International. Last year, sales of Wheaties in the U.S. were $19.5 million, according to Euromonitor. That’s down from $63.7 million in 2006.

Koerten noted that Wheaties faces strong competi-tion from other cereal “flakes” such as Kellogg’s Rai-sin Bran, that promise some type of extra feature. By comparison, he noted that Wheaties are very plain.

WHEATIES TEAMS UP WITH BREWERY TO CREATE LIMITED-

EDITION BREW


TORONTO - The CFL and NFL have teamed up to add a two-minute test to standard sideline examinations for suspected concussion, with the aim of quickly determining whether a player should be pulled from the field or can safely return to play.

But just how effective is the King-Devick test for diagnosing concussion? And is its implementation merely a public relations gambit by the football leagues — both defendants in lawsuits launched by groups of former players — or a bona fide means of looking after their athletes’ brain health?

The timed test, which involves rap-idly reading aloud lines of irregularly spaced, non-sequential numbers on flip cards or smartphone/tablet apps, was initially developed by American optometrists Alan King and Steven De-vick in 1976 to diagnose eye movement dysfunction that affects reading abil-ity.

But in the last five years, research groups around the world began study-ing the test to see if it could detect con-cussion, a brain injury that can affect attention and concentration.

Dr. David Dodick, a neurologist at the Mayo Clinic in Phoenix who spe-cializes in concussion, said numerous studies have concluded the King-De-vick test is highly accurate in picking up the brain injury.

“And that’s what makes it a very valuable tool,” said Dodick, noting that the time-based test is more objective than standard balance and cognition assessment tests like the SCAT3 and is not affected by player fatigue.

Players are given K-D tests before the start of their season to establish a baseline time for recounting all 120 numbers, which are laid out in increas-ingly difficult-to-follow patterns.

If a player is suspected of having

sustained a concussion during play, he or she is retested and the results compared.

Should the task take longer to com-plete or include errors, the athlete should be removed from play and seen by a doctor.

The Mayo Clinic, a non-profit U.S. health-care institution, this year en-dorsed the test for school-based, ama-teur and pro contact sports in a licens-ing agreement with King-Devick Test Inc.

“The reason we got involved with this is because we recognized the need for a simple, rapid and cost-effective sideline test,” said Dodick, who was born in Ontario and grew up in Nova Scotia. “So to have an objective and reliable test, we felt it was very im-portant and we saw the potential for this King-Devick test to make a huge difference in increasing the likelihood of identifying concussion on the side-lines.”

The test, sold through annual sub-scription, costs US$20 per user per year and can be downloaded using the company’s new app, which uses Cloud-based data storage so parents, coaches or health professionals can easily en-ter and access test results, co-inventor Steven Devick said from Chicago.

“You need a baseline every year for the test to work,” he said, explain-ing that a person’s ability to fire off the numbers improves over time until about age 40.

The company now has about 75,000 annual users, despite not spending “a dollar” to market the repurposed prod-uct, said Devick. “But we expect to roll this out in a big worldwide way very soon.”

Dr. Richard Wennberg, a neurolo-gist at Toronto Western Hospital, said that while studies suggest the test is effective in detecting concussion, he’s not sure how big a problem it’s ad-dressing.

“They are making the point and you’ll read all the hype ... saying this is a huge step forward because now we’ll be able to get players on the field out of the game and to the treatment they need,” he said. “That’s probably a pretty small group of individuals that really accounts for because most times it’s pretty obvious who’s had a concus-sion.”

Dr. Paul Echlin, a Burlington, Ont., sports medicine physician who treats young athletes with head trauma, doesn’t use the K-D examination and questions the ability of a two-minute test to diagnose the complex condi-tion with any certainty — especially when it’s administered by parents or coaches.

“One test can’t say someone is con-cussed or non-concussed,” said Echlin, adding that if there’s any suspicion a player might have sustained the brain injury, they should be removed from play and fully evaluated by a physi-cian.

Dodick at the Mayo acknowledged that some of his colleagues have voiced a similar criticism, saying the test should be given to youth athletes by qualified professionals — not lay people like parents or coaches.

“By the same token, do we not do anything? When we do have the tool, do we not administer it?

“What would the harm be? You identify someone slower and you take them out. You err on the side of cau-tion.”

Still, Wennberg and Echlin worry the King-Devick test is just one more money-making scheme to cash in fears about the high-profile brain injury, which they say has become big busi-ness.

“It doesn’t address the bigger issue that you don’t want the concussion in the first place,” said Wennberg. “So we have to curb our enthusiasm here.

“There are so many interests at

stake: the pro football leagues will want to look like they’re constantly doing something good. The repackag-ing people behind this old test want to make a buck, and all of them will have good intentions mixed in there.”

As for the CFL, the league is trying out the test for players on four teams — the B.C. Lions., Edmonton Eskimos, Calgary Stampeders and Winnipeg Blue Bombers — to determine if add-ing the King-Devick to other sideline examinations will improve identifica-tion of potential concussions among players.

“It’s really just to collect some num-bers to see if this gives us an addition-al tool,” said Kevin McDonald, CFL vice-president of football operations. “We thought there was a real opportu-nity to get some meaningful data.”

The CFL is facing a $200-million lawsuit filed in May by two former players, who are seeking class-action status on behalf of all retired players going back to 1952. The suit, which has not been proven in court, alleges the league, former commissioner Mark Co-hon, a Toronto doctor and clinic with-held information about how repeated concussions can lead to long-term cog-nitive disorders.

In April, a U.S. judge approved a settlement involving the NFL, which had long been accused of hiding the cumulative effects of concussions. The agreement involves thousands of con-cussion lawsuits and is expected to cost about US$1 billion.

McDonald denied that the CFL is adopting the test to appear that it’s taking action around the hot-button is-sue of concussion, especially in view of the lawsuit.

“I think both leagues are looking at ways to collaborate for the future and current health and safety of our play-ers,” he said.

“This is about the health and safety of our players.”

Will CFL-NFL joint concussion test make a difference?KING-DEVICK TEST HIGHLY ACCURATE ACCORDING TO SEVERAL STUDIES


HARTFORD, Conn. — A sweeping decision this week by the Connecticut Supreme Court that found the death penalty no longer meets society’s evolving standards of decency could be influential across a nation that is increasingly questioning the practice, legal experts said.

Thursday’s ruling found capital punishment vio-lates the Connecticut constitution, but the justices backed their decision by citing what abolitionists say are universal problems with the death penalty, including economic disparities in its use, the costs involved with appeals, the inherent cruelty involved in lengthy waits for execution, and the risk of execut-ing innocent people.

“It reads as a missive to the U.S. Supreme Court,” said Kevin Barry, a Quinnipiac University law pro-fessor and expert on death penalty law. “It is a blue-print for our nation’s high court to strike down the death penalty nationally.”

Thirty-one states still have capital punishment, but seven states have eliminated it in the past de-cade, including Nebraska in May and Maryland in

2013, which both passed legislation outlawing the death penalty.

Connecticut’s abolishment is different because it comes in the form of a court ruling, one that found the 2012 state law that banned executions for future crimes did not go far enough, experts said.

The ruling could also influence courts in states such as Maryland and New Mexico, which, like Con-necticut, eliminated the death penalty only for fu-ture crimes, said Robert Blecker, a professor at New York Law School and a proponent of the limited use of capital punishment.

States including Delaware, Colorado, Kansas, New Hampshire and Washington are also considering re-pealing the death penalty only for future crimes, he said. The death penalty was widely used in the Unit-ed States for decades until the 1960s, when questions about its fairness reached the U.S. Supreme Court, which eventually ruled capital punishment uncon-stitutional in 1972. After states reworked their laws, the Supreme Court reinstituted the death penalty in 1976.

In recent years, the number of death sentences and executions in the U.S. has plummeted as juries take advantage of new laws offering life with no

chance of parole and as prosecutors hesitate to bring capital charges because of the cost, especially at the appeals stage. In the past five years, executions have slowed again while the supply of lethal drugs has dried up as manufacturers, responding to activist pressure, have put them off limits for capital punish-ment.

The number of death sentences imposed last year marked a 40-year low in the country, said Robert Dunham, executive director of the non-profit Death Penalty Information Center, which tracks informa-tion about the use of capital punishment in the Unit-ed States.

There have been recent indications that the U.S. Supreme Court may be preparing to take its first broad look at the constitutionality of the death pen-alty since 1976, perhaps as early as this fall.

But death penalty supporters may also look to Connecticut to back their position that executions should remain legal in states where it has public and legislative support.

Connecticut’s ruling drew harsh criticism from the three dissenting justices and legislative Republi-cans, who accused the court of improperly taking on the role of policymakers.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You’re in the mood to correspond with children, teenagers and friends, plus collaborate on joint projects. So, whether you talk, text, email or tweet — keep the com-munication going.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): A family member helps you see a current situ-ation from a fresh angle today Twins. Don’t feel you have to come up with a solution on your own. There’s plenty of support around you can tap into.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You’ll get practical results today as you com-municate with others in a positive and encouraging way. If you work hard on joint projects and are patient, then you’ll reap the rewards.

tions get in the way of major projects. Being a cantankerous Capricorn is out and positive productivity is in!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’re in the spotlight today. If you are inter-acting with the public in some way, make sure you put your most profes-sional face forward. Confidence is the rocket fuel that will take you places.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Don’t

feel you have to tackle a project com-pletely on your own. There are plenty of people around you who are waiting to help; all you have to do is sum up the courage to ask.

Dear Annie: My husband and I are in our 60s. Recently, he hugged a new neighbor and kissed her on the cheek. She is our age and divorced. We don’t know her well at all. I was shocked, embarrassed and angry.

I commented later, asking my husband if he hugged and kissed any of the other women (all mar-ried) in our group of friends. He thinks I’m being ri-diculous. But he has done similar things times in the past whenever there’s a new female around. It’s like he can’t help it. He becomes completely obsessed with the “new girl.”

We’ve been married a long time. I told him he should always act like a married man and that his flirtatious behavior makes me feel terrible and I don’t want to experience it anymore. I’m in shape and attractive. I’ve thought about doing something to make my husband jealous to see how he reacts. Right now, I’m fed up and considering a divorce so I can enjoy the rest of my life. What’s the deal? -— Fed Up in Music City

Dear Fed Up: It sounds like your husband is feel-ing his age and finds that something “new” makes him feel young and frisky again.

This is only threatening to your marriage if he acts on these impulses with more than hugs and cheek kisses, and the woman reacts with equal interest. The next step is entirely up to you.

You cannot force your husband to change unless he recognizes the need and is willing. So, knowing that these flirtations go no further, can you tolerate them?

Is this the only sore spot in your marriage? Do the pros outweigh the cons? Would you be willing to get counseling (with or without him) to work on the issue?

Do you really want to leave him over this?

Often, the decisions we make when we are angry or frustrated turn out to be re-gretted.

Please give the situation a great deal of thought before you act, and consider your op-tions carefully.

Dear Annie: I feel I must give “Carol in Columbus, Oh.,” one more word of wisdom to add to your good advice.

She said she wanted to start up her own small business, but her husband was very controlling when it came to money. Please tell her to make sure she sees a lawyer right from the start. She needs to be certain that this new venture she is starting with her own money, credit, sweat and tears remains her own property.

There are ways to separate it from the controlling husband.

I know, because I started my own business seven years ago.

My husband would not sign anything to help me in my new venture, so I did it all myself with my meager savings and a small gift from my mom.

Now that the business is a big success he calls it “ours” and claims half of everything, even though he has not contributed a day of work or a dollar of investment. Carol should be smarter. — Been There Done That

Dear Been There: Whenever starting a business, legal advice is always a good idea. Thanks for the ad-ditional suggestion.

Pikas defend their territory by whistling to one another, and their large, rounded ears come in useful to hear the calls from competing pikas. This one was observed near Moraine Lake.


NEW YORK — The start of the school year is just around the corner, and you haven’t shopped yet?

Don’t fret. To get the best deals, it’s all in the tim-ing.

Need sweater? Wait until later in the fall. Back-packs? Hold off until late September, if you can.

“I think it is knowing and planning ahead of time. What am I going to need in the next six months?” said Kristin Cook, managing editor of Ben’s Bar-gains, an online deal site that put together a list of the worst things to buy right now for the back-to-school season.

Of course, some discounters have consistently low prices. Wal-Mart Stores Inc., which pushes everyday low prices, has launched extra discounts for the back-to-school shopping period. Earlier this month, it launched thousands of new price cuts, including on the 10 most-searched items online so an assort-ment of $12.88 backpacks are now $7.

And you should take advantage of limited free shipping offers. Target Corp. is temporarily waiving the minimum purchase order of $25 for free shipping on all items until Saturday. However, oversized han-dling fees may still apply.

There are also other gimmicks. J.C. Penney, which operates 800 stores nationwide, is offering $10 hair-cuts for kids for grades kindergarten through sixth until Aug. 31.

You can also take advantage of tax-free back-to-school shopping. Seventeen states have such sales tax “holidays.”

“Arm yourself with information,” said Traci Gregorski, vice-president of marketing for research firm Market Track, which tracks promotions at vari-ous retailers.

“Lots can be found on websites, apps and circu-lars.”

Here are the best times to buy the following types of items:

SCHOOL SUPPLIES:Start shopping now for pens, notebooks and other

supplies.Staples brought back its “Less List,” which offers

basics like one-subject notebooks for 25 cents and

two-pocket folders for 15 cents, as well as a 24-pack Crayola crayons for 50 cents.

Wal-Mart rolled back prices on all three Texas In-strument calculators to $88. These graphing calcula-tors are for high school and above and are normally $96 to $125.

Target is testing a new way to shop for supplies online called School List Assist, which is an online hub that offers a selection of the most common sup-plies for grades kindergarten through eighth grade.

For those stores with high spending thresholds for free shipping, just go to the store, said Benjamin K. Glaser, features editor at DealNews, because you’ll just spend more trying to meet that $50 minimum.

CLOTHING AND ACCESSORIESNow is a good time to stock up on summer cloth-

ing, taking advantage of clearance sales. Gap’s Old Navy, for example, is offering up to 60 per cent off on summer tops. Macy’s is highlighting light-weight ca-sual dresses for teens that are $29.99 and under.

But it’s best to wait to buy jeans, boots, sweaters and until well after school starts.

Gregorksi monitored circulars at 13 stores includ-ing J.C. Penney, Macy’s, Sears, Target and Wal-Mart the past two years.

“The key takeaway here is that the best chance to get a deal on these fall clothing items is in October,” said Gregorski. “Not only are there more products on promotion, but the deals are as good and often better than the back-to-school months.”

If you can hold off on buying boots a little longer than that, just take advantage of the Black Friday sales, Cook says.

COMPUTERS AND SMART PHONES:Hold off on upgrading Apple iPhone and Ap-

ple iPad because Apple typically announces new launches later in the fall.

But Glaser notes late August is the best time to buy a laptop before Black Friday sales hit. Right now, the average discounts for laptops are 15 per cent, but you can get 25 per cent off by the end of the month, he said.

“Laptops are making a comeback, especially the sub-$200 models, due to the influence of Google’s Chromebook,” Cook says. “In fact, sub-$150 mod-els are popping up as of late and should continue through the end of the year.”
