Hopes remain high funding will be found to expand the runway at Red Deer Airport.

Red Deer County Mayor Jim Wood said local representatives were dis-appointed that funding through the Small Communities Fund wasn’t com-ing through.

“That doesn’t mean we’re giving up,” he said on Tuesday. “We’ve still got some hope for this project to go ahead.”

needed by 737s.The cost of the project is estimated

at about $10.5 million. The city and county have proposed funding up to $4.5 million with hope the province and federal government would pitch in $3 million each.

Wood said the need to upgrade the airport is not in question. A master plan for the airport made an airtight case for the need to upgrade the facili-ty if it is to adequately serve the region in coming years.

“The airport is a big economic driv-er within our region,” he said. “And the airport needs to make that next step to make it even more viable for the operations it has.”

An Airdrie man facing human traf-ficking charges was enthusiastic to deal with his charges after just his first appearance.

Javyrell Raymond Baird, 25, faces three charges, including human traf-ficking of a person under 18, procuring sexual services of a person under 18 and assault.

He appeared in Red Deer provin-cial court on Aug. 4 before Judge Bert Skinner with his hair dyed red and in

When Skinner asked why he sought such a lengthy adjournment, Baird said he did not want to waste the court’s time and would likely be enter-ing pleas. He is being held in custody at the Red Deer Remand Centre.

Baird was arrested after an inves-tigation by the Airdrie RCMP General Investigation Section and Crime Re-duction Unit. The investigation started as a missing youth investigation, but police determined she had become the victim of human trafficking.

ASSAULT: Accused back in court on Aug. 12

Lagrelle and King face additional charges of pointing a firearm and use of a firearm in the com-mission of an offence. Lagrelle faces charges of pos-session of a firearm contrary to an order and breach-ing a Youth Court Justice order. King is also charged with unauthorized possession of a firearm.

A third female youth found at the scene by Red Deer RCMP was released without charges.

The charges were adjourned to Aug. 12 to give all six the chance to apply for legal aid coverage. The two youth court matters were adjourned to the same date to keep all of the accused together for the time being, as opposed to adjourning two of them to Red Deer youth court.

Police said the victim and the suspects are all known to each other.

When police obtained a search warrant a day af-ter they executed their arrest warrant for Lagrelle, they found a number of edged weapons, a rifle and a small amount of drugs.

TRAFFICKING: Victims need counseling

Andrea Burkhart, Action Coalition on Trafficking Alberta, said about 54 per cent of all human traffick-ing related charges in Alberta are for sexual offenc-es alone, while another eight per cent involve both labour and sexual offences.

“Almost all victims of trafficking will need some type of counselling,” said Burkhart.

“Traffickers are targeting people who are vul-nerable and they can be vulnerable for a number of different reasons. That’s a commonality across Canada.”

A release from the Action Coalition on Traffick-ing Alberta, points to the U.S. State Department’s recently released annual Trafficking in Persons Re-port. The report indicates Canada is a source, transit and destination country for men, women and chil-dren subjected to sexual exploitation.

According to the report police charged 121 indi-viduals in 77 trafficking cases involving 261 victims across Canada in 2011.

“We’ve come a long way in Canada in recognizing and responding to this issue,” said Burkhart. “But there remains much to be done.

ACT Alberta does have a Red Deer branch with staff working with police, government and non-government organizations on how to look for human trafficking and what to do if it is observed.

AIRPORT: Lobbying tocontinue

The economic benefits will be felt in the City of Red Deer, the county and municipalities throughout Central Alberta, he said.

Regional representatives will continue to lobby the provincial and federal governments for funding help despite the recent setback, he said.

“I am very optimistic that we will see this project go forward, maybe just not as soon as we had hoped.”

Airport CEO RJ Steenstra also remained optimis-tic.

“We are obviously disappointed that we are not going to have anything come through on this fund but certainly encouraged that work will continue by all parties to move forward with other funding options for this expansion.

“It continues to be critical for the airport going forward.”

The goal is to be “shovel ready” by the fall and the expansion completed by the spring of 2016, he said.

The engineering work including storm water man-agement is expected to be completed by October. By then, Steenstra hopes there will be more definite answers about funding so they can proceed with the rest of the project.

RCMP needs help to catch armed robbery suspects

Sylvan Lake RCMP are looking for the public’s help to identify three suspects in a recent armed robbery in Bentley.

Police say three unidentified men met with a

41-year-old man outside the Piccolo Pizza to buy a Lincoln Navigator.

One of three men produced a handgun and point-ed it at the owner of the vehicle.

The three unidentified suspects then fled the area in an 1997-2000 Chev Pick up truck with a flat black spray painted finish.

The suspects are described as Caucasian males 1.78 metres (5-foot-10) – 1.83 metres (six feet) with a medium build. The suspects were wearing black clothing.

Police are asking anyone with information that may assist to identify the suspect to please call Syl-van Lake RCMP at 403-858-7200 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

Homeless prefer parks to shelters,

lawyer arguesBY THE CANADIAN PRESS

NEW WESTMINSTER, B.C. — Homeless in Ab-botsford, B.C., are choosing to sleep outside rather than use available shelter, says a lawyer for the city that is accused of violating charter rights.

People living in tent encampments in several parks in the Fraser Valley community are doing so based on preference, not necessity, lawyer James Yardley told a British Columbia Supreme Court judge on Tuesday.

“Clearly there’s an element of choice, of conscious decision, not to take housing,” Yardley told the judge hearing the challenge against the city’s bylaws.

In his closing submissions, Yardley said there is no basis for the lawsuit. He called for the case to be dismissed.

The civil court challenge claims the City of Ab-botsford is criminalizing the homeless with bylaws prohibiting people from setting up camps in public spaces. The challenge was launched by a group called the Drug War Survivors and the case has been in court since late June.

The advocacy group, assisted by Pivot Legal Soci-ety, hopes to establish a right to housing and public space for homeless people throughout Canada.

The case has gained heightened attention for city tactics aimed at moving the homeless along. Police have used pepper spray on people and city workers dumped chicken manure on one campsite.

Yardley told the judge the city does recognize that homelessness is a social problem and worthy of concern.

He said Abbotsford has set up a variety of housing options for people sleeping on public lands.

The possibilities extend beyond emergency shel-ter, 25 spaces provided by the Salvation Army and spots only open during extreme weather, he added.

“Those members of Abbotsford’s homeless who testified are either housed, have access to housing or recently left housing,” he said. “No one testified he was simply unable to access housing.”

The city doesn’t dispute some homeless people, such as drug addicts, face barriers to accommoda-tions, he said. But he argued those setting up camps can’t be classified as a distinct group whose rights have been equally infringed.

“The evidence, if anything, shows they are far more capable to avail themselves of a range of hous-ing than is suggested.”

Yardley disputes the challenger’s count of 151 homeless people in Abbotsford.

RESIDENTS TO THE RESCUEMurder confession

‘suspicious’: lawyer

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

The police account of a confession the son of a Canadian diplomat ap-parently gave in a double killing in Florida makes little sense, his lawyer argues in a new bid to win the teen’s pretrial release.

Even if Marc Wabafiyebazu did talk about the crime, Miami police failed to inform him of his rights — meaning they obtained the alleged statements illegally, the lawyer says.

“The court’s heavy reliance on the improper confession is misplaced,” Michael Corey states in a petition to the District Court of Appeal.

“The statements...are almost uni-formly contradicted by the undisputed physical evidence and witness state-ments.”

Wabafiyebazu, 15, of Ottawa, is charged as an adult with felony murder in the shooting deaths of his 18-year-old brother Jean and another teenager. Police allege the gunfire erupted in-side a Miami-area apartment on March 30 when the older sibling tried to rob a drug dealer.

Initially, a senior detective charged him with minor offences but changed that to murder after his apparent con-fession to Juan Velez, a rookie officer, who was driving him to a detention centre.

By the officer’s own account, the distraught teen, who had just heard his brother was dead, offered 23 pieces of information in under two minutes — something the lawyer calls “suspicious and implausible.”

Among other things, Velez said Wabafiyebazu told him that he and his brother had ripped off other drug dealers in Canada and Miami. He al-so apparently claimed to have shot at the fleeing drug dealer — which video shows did not occur.

“According to Velez, the entire ’con-fession’ was allegedly given to him while he was driving his patrol car, with Marc sitting in the back seat be-hind a safety barrier, and with the po-lice radio squawking on and off inter-mittently,” Corey states.

“Officer Velez made no attempt to record this alleged confession or re-duce it to writing.”

Instead, the officer dropped the teen at a detention centre, then returned to the detachment where he told a detec-tive about the alleged statements.

In denying him bail in June, Circuit Judge Teresa Pooler said she believed Velez.

“Officer Velez, and this is based on his demeanour in this court, was not the type of officer who would be fabri-cating the statements from the defen-dant to get himself involved in a big case,” Pooler said.

In his filings, Corey lays out what happened after they arrested Wabafi-yebazu outside the apartment, where he was waiting for them to arrive.

Police handcuffed him to a chair in an interrogation room for seven or eight hours. A senior detective vio-lated department policy by failing to turn on a video camera. Officers then cuffed him to a bench in another sec-tion for two more hours. They never offered him a bathroom break.

Residents attempt to help beached whales that that became stuck on the shores of St. George’s Bay in Judique, N.S., on Tuesday. A resident of a small community on Cape Breton’s west coast says about 25 people rallied to try and save 16 beached pilot whales today after they became stuck on the rocky shores of St. George’s Bay. Linden MacIntyre, a former journalist who lives about a kilometre from the bay in Judique, N.S., says he believes the whales were beached early Tuesday morning as the tide went out.

Russia submits revised claim for vast Arctic seabed territories at United Nations

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MOSCOW — Russia has submitted a revised bid for vast territories in the Arctic to the United Nations, the For-eign Ministry said Tuesday.

The ministry said in a statement that Russia is claiming 1.2 million square kilometres (over 463,000 square miles) of Artic sea shelf extending more than 350 nautical miles (about 650 kilome-tres) from the shore.

Russia, the U.S., Canada, Denmark and Norway have all been trying to assert jurisdiction over parts of the Arctic, which is believed to hold up to a quarter of the planet’s undiscovered oil and gas. Rivalry for Arctic resourc-es has intensified as shrinking polar ice is opening new opportunities for exploration.

Russia was the first to submit its claim in 2002, but the UN sent it back for lack of evidence. It submitted a partial revision regarding the Okhotsk Sea in 2013 and the commission issued a recommendation the following year, UN deputy spokesman Farhan Haq said.

The ministry said that the resubmit-ted bid contains new arguments. “Am-ple scientific data collected in years of Arctic research are used to back the Russian claim,” it said.

Greenpeace responded by warning of the environmental risks.

“The melting of the Arctic ice is un-covering a new and vulnerable sea, but countries like Russia and Norway want to turn it into the next Saudi Arabia,” Greenpeace Russia Arctic campaigner

Vladimir Chuprov said in a statement. “Unless we act together, this region could be dotted with oil wells and fish-ing fleets within our lifetimes.”

He urged countries seeking jurisdic-tion over the Arctic to work together to create a protected sanctuary around the North Pole.

Russia expects the UN Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf to start looking at its bid in the fall, the ministry said.

Haq, the UN spokesman, said there is no plenary meeting of the commis-sion this fall so the revised Russian submission will be included in the pro-visional agenda for its meeting in Feb-ruary or March. In accordance with the commission’s rules, he said Russia’s latest submission is being circulated to all 193 UN member states, including

all charts and co-ordinates.In 2007, Moscow staked a symbolic

claim to the Arctic seabed by dropping a canister containing the Russian flag on the ocean floor from a submarine at the North Pole.

The Kremlin also has moved to beef up Russian military forces in the Arc-tic. The effort has included the resto-ration of a Soviet-era military base on the New Siberian Islands and other military outposts in the Arctic. Ear-lier this year, the military conducted sweeping manoeuvrs in the Arctic that involved 38,000 servicemen, more than 50 surface ships and submarines and 110 aircraft. As part of the drills, the military demonstrated its capability to quickly beef up its forces on the Arctic Novaya Zemlya and Franz Josef Land archipelagos.

OTTAWA — A defence expert says Russia’s new bid for a vast swath of Arctic territory, including the North Pole, backs Canada into an uncomfortable corner in future negotiations over the frozen region.

Moscow’s revised international submis-sion was revealed today in a statement by the country’s foreign ministry and claims 1.2 million square kilometres of the Arctic shelf.

Russia, the U.S., Canada, Denmark and Norway are working with the UN to define jurisdictional boundaries in the Arc-tic, which is thought to hold as much as a quarter of the planet’s undiscovered oil and gas.

In late 2013, the Harper government

ordered officials to rewrite Canada’s Arctic claim to include the North Pole and more survey work is taking place this summer before Ottawa submits the document.

Rob Huebert of the University of Cal-gary says Prime Minister Stephen Harper should make clear whether Canada is eventually willing to negotiate with Russia where claims intersect.

He says the government has taken a tough line on Russia’s annexation of Crimea and the questions that need to be asked are when does Canada re-engage diplomatically and whether that would sig-nal de facto acceptance of the situation in Ukraine.

Mounties investigating after human remains found south of Edmonton

CALMAR — Mounties are investigating after hu-man remains were found in a town south of Edmon-ton.

Leduc RCMP say the remains were found on Mon-day in the town of Calmar, about 50 kilometres south-west of Edmonton.

Police say it’s early in the investigation and foul play has not been ruled out.

Last week, RCMP identified human remains found on a property south of Edmonton.

They were of Corrie Ottenbreit, a sex trade work-er, was last seen in Edmonton in May 2004.

Police said the remains of three other women have been found in the same area, adding they may be dealing with a serial killer.

Doctor wants progress made on dispute between laboratories

EDMONTON — An Edmonton doctor is urging the province to move ahead with talks and transition planning with Sonic Healthcare Ltd.

That’s the Australian-based company scheduled to take over lab services in the Edmonton region af-ter the Alberta Health Services contract with DynaL-ife comes to an end in March 2016.

DynaLife filed an appeal last November, citing concerns with the bid process for the contract.

The results of that appeal are are expected to be made public later this month.

Sonic was awarded a $3 billion contract last Octo-ber and plans to construct a massive new lab, possi-bly near the University of Alberta.

Dr. Shelley Duggan, the president of the Edmon-ton Zone Medical Staff Association, says everybody is in limbo which has left them with many lingering questions.

Duggan says the decision to go with Sonic took years and that privatization of lab services isn’t new as DynaLife is also a private company.

“What are we going to do when that lab lease is up?” she says. “It’s not a matter of saying we can keep going the way we’re going, we don’t have a plan and what we really need is a decision to move for-ward because we’re worried about lab services.”

COMMENT A4WEDNESDAY, AUG. 5, 2015

C E N T R A L A L B E R T A ’ SD A I L Y N E W S P A P E R

Historically, the dramatic visit of a prime minister to the Governor Gen-eral foreshadows a political frenzy and sets off a gruelling sprint.

In the middle of a holiday weekend, Stephen Harper sounded the bell on a mara-thon, and the political dy-namic ushered in on Sunday morning is unlike any we’ve ever seen.

In short, anyone who sug-gests they know what is go-ing to happen over the next 11 weeks also has a bridge you’d be interested in.

Seat forecasts and poll-ing data right now are mere summertime ice cream, be-cause 11 weeks offers too many chances for the unex-pected and too many oppor-tunities to blow campaigns off course to properly handicap today.

For starters, it is likely fewer Cana-dians were engaged by this campaign kickoff than during elections past.

It is also likely that anything that appeared important Sunday morning will be forgotten by Oct. 19.

Yes, Conservative Leader Harper offered a disingenuous answer when asked to justify the costs of a 77-day marathon, somehow suggesting this unnecessarily long race is a favour to taxpayers.

Indeed, it was interesting that NDP

Leader Tom Mulcair, a man whose par-ty has never had political power, re-fused to take questions, not only leav-

ing Harper to justify the early election call but play-ing the role of front-runner who would not allow his message to be hijacked.

So, Liberal Leader Jus-tin Trudeau decided to fly to Vancouver instead of playing the traditional role of third party leader immediately standing in front of television cameras to respond to Harper? No one will be talking about this tomorrow, let alone Oct. 19. He got his TV time and there are probably more potential votes at the city’s Pride Parade than in a message-by-rote televi-

sion appearance on a Sunday morning.As expected, the prime minister, in

his dark suit, blue tie and maple leaf lapel pin, used the Rideau Hall back-drop to solemnly play the “risk” card on the economy and security, remind-ing voters of the gravity of the decision before them.

For Harper, the danger posed by Mulcair and Trudeau comes in threes.

On the economy, they threaten “higher taxes, reckless spending, per-manent deficits.’’

On external threats, they threaten

“political correctness, inexperienced governance or an ideological unwill-ingness to act.’’

That will be an extremely difficult message to sustain through a campaign that will traverse three holiday week-ends, almost three calendar months and two seasons.

Voter commitment is shallow. Swings are more likely. Since we last went to the polls federally, we have seen voter volatility in play — not theo-retically through the polls — on the ground provincially in Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec.

We need look back only to the 2011 campaign to see how this volatility can play out in a campaign of half this length.

The 2011 consensus, proved correct, was that Liberal leader Michael Igna-tieff didn’t have enough time to turn around negative perceptions. But we went into that campaign expecting a Harper-Ignatieff showdown.

Trudeau clearly has the toughest task ahead, but he does have time in 2015. No one can be written off so early and party membership and fundraising numbers suggest there is much more Liberal strength on the ground than four years ago.

The early 2011 story surrounding NDP leader Jack Layton was sparse-ly attended rallies and his inability to gain any momentum. That proved wrong.

So fixated were most of us on Harp-er versus Ignatieff that the voters real-ized Layton won the English-language debate before the pundits.

The test for the NDP this time is whether Mulcair has staying power — and the betting here is that he does — but the Conservative calculation is clearly that increased scrutiny will expose a leader of a party viewed with skepticism on the economy in uncer-tain economic times.

Yet the NDP has never entered a federal campaign with this many in-cumbents or this level of strength in the national polls.

No longer will the NDP sneak up on anyone, but increased scrutiny is a happy price to pay for a party with a legitimate claim to be a government-in-waiting.

If this is an election about change, and it appears to be, then putting your man out in front of the cameras longer than necessary seems counterintuitive at best, even if it comes with a health-ier war chest and an opportunity to blanket the airwaves and social media with your message.

Counterintuitive, but it’s folly to dis-miss the strategy of a guy who has won.

So, looked at from the Conservative perspective, over 11 weeks, if Harper can lure one per cent of voters back into his fold per week, he can stand in victory again in late October.

Anything can happen in 11 weeks

The first stop of the extended 2015 campaign on Sunday night found Stephen Harper speaking at one of the most low-key election launches ever held in a major Canadian city by an incumbent prime minister.

Billed as the opening Quebec rally of the campaign, Harper’s appearance in the Montreal riding of Mount Royal spoke more to the peculiar circumstances of his hasty election call and his limited pros-pects in Quebec than to a governing party hitting the ground running.

To put the attendance in perspective, on a Friday night last May, at a time when the campaign was months away, NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair spoke to 1,500 Montreal supporters in one of the larger halls of the city’s convention centre.

About 300 people attended Harper’s opening show, including 40 or so can-didates from across the province. They packed the kind of community centre room that Preston Manning and Stockwell Day used to book when the Reform/Alliance flew well below the Quebec radar.

Still, in the circumstances it would have been hard to find an audience more receptive to Harper’s national message than this particular one.

The Conservative economic case was to be the backbone of Harper’s campaign narrative. But then some major pieces failed to fall in place. The Trans-

Pacific Partnership he was going to use to illustrate his successes on the trade front has yet to material-ize. Canada’s economic indicators are not what the

government expected at the time of its delayed spring budget in late April. Pros-pects for short-term improvements are slim.

That leaves the national security card: the other priority Harper listed when he called the election.

In Mount Royal — a riding that is home to the second-largest Jewish population in Canada — Harper’s staunch pro-Israel stance and his combative approach to the war against Islamic State resonate more loudly than anywhere else in most of Canada. Mount Royal is anything but a bellwether riding. But it is also more than just a rare Montreal seat where the demographics could give a Conservative underdog a bit of an edge. Bragging rights are at stake, for Pierre Trudeau — the fa-

ther of Harper’s nemesis — represented the riding in Parliament for all his time in politics.

Not that the Trudeau name ever crossed his lips on Sunday. In fact, the latest twist in the Conserva-tive approach to the Liberal leader seems to involve banning his last name from its campaign material. It was absent from the speaking notes Harper and his Quebec lieutenant Denis Lebel used at the rally. In their mouths he was just Justin. (And no, before you

ask, NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair was not just Tom.)As one Conservative insider put it, calling the Lib-

eral leader by his first name alone has the double merit of belittling Trudeau while not reminding voters of a last name that echoes too positively with many voters for Harper’s comfort.

It is a small and ultimately petty gesture.But the notion that the three-mandate prime min-

ister of a G7 country would sit with his brain trust to come up with the idea of demeaning a rival by deny-ing him the courtesy of using his last name is reveal-ing of the mindset of this Conservative campaign and of the man who leads it.

Regardless of how one feels about their skills or their policies, the candidates running in this elec-tion — from Harper on down — are all engaged in public service, at cost to their private lives and their family time.

The Conservatives rightly take issue with the vis-ceral hatred Harper elicits in some quarters. But when it comes to respect for those who engage in public service, a prime minister is expected to lead by example, and not to debase the political conver-sation.

The 2015 campaign is young. But based on the tone of its first hours, it might not take long for a Conser-vative leader whose economic case is less persuasive than he would have liked and whose cabinet lineup has lost a lot of shine to morph into little more than a walking and talking attack ad.

Pettiness does not look good on Harper

Page 5: Red Deer Advocate, August 05, 2015

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Call political leaders what you will — especially when they interrupt summer vacation — but the debate Tuesday seemed all about what they call each other.

Justin or Trudeau? Tom or Thomas? Prime minister or Conservative lead-er?

And they say an election campaign isn’t the time to discuss serious issues.

“I think I use that sometimes, and sometimes I don’t,” a bemused-looking Stephen Harper said Tuesday when asked about his predilection of late for referring to the Liberal leader by his first name.

“That’s how, in our experience, Ca-nadians generally refer to him because that’s how the Liberal party has brand-ed him.”

Conservative officials happily pro-vided unsolicited proof, circulating photos of Trudeau in front of a banner displaying his web address: justin.ca.

The Liberal leader, who was in Mis-sissauga to unveil his campaign bus, shrugged off the name game as a side-show as he unleashed another broad-side against his Conservative rival’s economic record.

“We have a time right now when the economy is struggling, when we’re slid-ing into recession, where Mr. Harper has shown time and time again that his plan of helping the wealthiest Ca-nadians is not working to grow this economy,” Trudeau said.

“His distraction is working, because I just got two questions on that, rather than on how to build a stronger econo-my for the future of this country.”

The centrepiece of Harper’s cam-paign so far came Tuesday in the form of a retooled renovation tax credit — permanent, unlike in 2009, but appli-cable to only $5,000 of eligible costs, instead of $10,000 — worth $1.5 billion a year.

“Young parents renovated rooms as nurseries, empty-nesters converted rooms for other uses, older Canadians made changes to remain independent in their own homes,” Harper said dur-ing an event in Toronto.

“The renovation tax credit helps ev-ery homeowner, regardless of income. I know Justin Trudeau doesn’t think

every family deserves help, but we do.”However, there’s a catch: the credit

won’t be introduced until Canada finds itself navigating smoother economic waters, likely sometime in the middle of a Conservative mandate, Harper suggested.

Tuesday was unique for other rea-sons as well, including the fact that it was the first day since the campaign began that the four main party lead-ers, including Bloc Quebecois Leader Gilles Duceppe, were out campaigning at the same time.

After a brief, middling campaign debut on the weekend that included no question-and-answer session, NDP

Leader Tom Mulcair resurfaced Tues-day in a Quebec riding that’s become a fulcrum of sorts for the first week of the campaign.

Indeed, the news conference in the riding of Mount Royal, where he first announced his entry into federal poli-tics, felt like a re-do; unlike Sunday, Mulcair looked and sounded energetic, animated and feisty.

He was also happy to answer media queries — including about his name.

“If I’m with my family or long-term friends, I’ve always been Tommy,” he said.

“But I felt that in the NDP, if I started calling myself Tommy, people would say that I was being ambitious compared to one of the founders of this party” — a reference to New Democrat

hero and medicare founder Tommy Douglas.

So which is it, Tom or Thomas? “Flip a coin, arm wrestle, do whatever you have to do,” he grinned.

Mulcair was less amused when asked about Trudeau — “the leader of the third party,” he called him — dis-missing the NDP’s proposed $15 mini-mum wage as a “mirage” that wouldn’t apply to 99 per cent of minimum-wage workers in Canada.

“I’m not too sure what that word is supposed to mean, but maybe he could start sharing with us his plan, because nobody knows it,” Mulcair said.

“I want to be a champion for manu-facturing. I want to kick-start the econ-omy. I want to start creating full-time, well-paid jobs.”

Harper retools tax credit

Shooting mars festival after-party for second-straight year

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Two people are dead and three others are in hospital fol-lowing an overnight shooting that be-gan inside a packed Toronto nightclub hosting the official after-party of rap-per Drake’s annual OVO Fest.

Deputy Police Chief Peter Sloly said officers responded to a call about shots being fired at the Muzik nightclub at about 3:15 a.m. Tuesday.

He said the club, where another shooting took place at the same after-party last year, already had a heavy police presence due to the size of the crowd.

One officer was within metres of a woman who was shot and “was able to, in her last breaths, provide CPR and do all he could to keep her alive,” Sloly said at a news conference. The woman was later pronounced dead in hospital.

A man was shot dead inside the club where hundreds were partying, he said.

“This was a brazen, large-scale on-going firearm incident and our officers and members of the public were di-rectly in the line of fire,” Sloly said.

“We were very lucky that this was not a larger body count, quite frankly.”

Sloly said two other shooting victims have serious, but non-life-threatening injuries while a third has a less seri-ous gunshot wound.

Police asked for the public’s help with their investigation. Sloly said they don’t know how many shots were fired or how many suspects they are look-ing for, but added that there may have been other victims.

“It is a very complex scene and a large, complicated area,” he said.

The nightclub was hosting the of-ficial OVO Fest after-party featuring Toronto rapper Drake. It is not known whether he was at the nightclub at the time of the shooting.

Toronto Police Supt. Frank Bergen

said the victims were in their 20s and 30s.

He said the organizers of the “well-run event” were doing their best and the incident happened as they were shutting down for the evening.

In a statement, Muzik said it had “73 professionally trained” security guards on duty, which included “15 specially trained guards who conduct body searches, including the use of metal-detecting wands, on all patrons entering the property.”

The club said it also had 10 armed Toronto police officers on paid duty as part of the security detail.

Muzik’s owner, Zlatko Starkovski, said the club is co-operating with po-lice and has “full confidence they will get to the bottom of this horrific in-cident and bring these people to jus-tice.”

Sloly said it was unclear how the gun got into the club with such tight se-curity and so many police officers out-side. He said the large area also has a pool that is surrounded by a fence, but “is not airtight.”

A similar incident occurred in front of Muzik after OVO Fest last summer when a 28-year-old man suffered seri-ous injuries after being shot.

The deputy chief said there has been a spike in shootings in Toronto this year that the city hasn’t seen since 2012. Sloly said a new mobile app re-leased by police Tuesday will be use-ful for investigations like this.

“That application could actually be used in this case and the other fire-arms cases we are investigating over the course of this year,” said Sloly.

The app allows users to report crimes through their smartphone and connect with officers. Push notifica-tions advising users of community safety alerts will allow police to warn the public of incidents like the latest shooting.

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Snapping the perfect photo of an un-forgettable moment can be a challenge when you’re an amateur photographer, but Sean Ramsay says his new camera will forever change how we think about taking pictures.

The Toronto-based developer has created Bublcam, a baseball-sized camera that uses 360-de-gree image capture technology to put you back in the middle of life’s biggest events, whether it’s a family wedding or a little league baseball game.

“We use a camera to capture those moments that mean a lot to us,” the founder of Bubl Technology said from the company’s headquarters in Toronto.

“The best way we can share that information is by capturing every possible angle.”

While Ramsay says the Bublcam won’t replace traditional point-and-shoot cameras any time soon, he’s optimistic about how it could influence the fast-developing world of virtual reality, which after years of being little more than a dream is finally starting to make progress into the consumer market.

Bublcam takes both pictures and video in a spher-ical range — from the sky to the ground, which creates a new experience for pho-tographers who feel constrained by pan-oramic shots.

“It’s the idea of being inside a mo-ment where you could investigate it over time,” he said.

“If you want to recreate a moment where people feel like they’re really there, this is the best way to do that.”

Video captured by a Bublcam is almost over-whelming at first glance because each shot has prac-tically the same amount of detail as a real-life mo-ment.

The four lenses grab images and lace them to-gether for the viewer to create a realistic version of a natural environment. Once it’s loaded onto a com-puter, you can scroll across the moving image with

your mouse, quite like exploring the virtual world on Google Maps.

Eventually, the goal is to expand those interac-tive videos and still images into the future of virtual world technology by making the Bublcam compatible with VR headsets.

Virtual reality is seen as the next frontier for many technology companies, and the potential hasn’t been lost on major photography companies either.

International brands like Kodak have recently launched their own variations of 360-degree cameras while smaller players like 360fly hope to release

their own variations of the technology this year.

While Bublcam is still in a beta phase, the camera began shipping its first units a few weeks ago.

Each camera sells for US$799 through

the company’s website though Ramsay said he be-lieves there are opportunities to truly break into the mainstream consumer market if he can get the price closer to $499 per unit.

The concept for a 360-degree camera began to per-colate while Ramsay was working at a digital media studio in Toronto. He was tasked to create an adver-tising campaign for the 2009 Toyota Matrix that let customers virtually inspect the car from every angle.

“I got really intrigued with the idea of 360-degree videos and environments,” he remembers.

Ramsay thought his idea for a new type of cam-

era would resonate with others and took their idea to Kickstarter, alongside co-founder Dan Mills, in hopes the crowdfunding website would help make it a reality. The project managed to raise $346,000.

Word of the camera quickly travelled to Google executives who contacted Ramsay to discuss how Bublcam could help create virtual maps for the in-sides of buildings, like restaurants and museums.

At this point, the future of Bubl counts on the idea catching on with even more supporters.

Until Ramsay can lower the cost of manufacturing Bubl, he’s squarely focused on appealing to busi-nesses who can install the camera in their board-rooms for conference calls or live stream from re-mote locations.

Real estate agents have expressed interest in us-ing Bublcam for 360-degree tours of homes, Ramsay said. He also sees potential in other industries that use detailed maps of spaces, like mining and utili-ties companies, or transit lines that want to map out subway tunnels.

But some technology experts are skeptical about whether 360-camera technology will ever grow be-yond a niche business.

“This is for the kind of person who will slap a GoPro on his helmet and go skydiving,” said Carmi Levy, an independent technology analyst.

“For the vast majority of consumers it’s too niche a product.”

Ramsay is confident that Bublcam will find its place in the consumer market by appealing to people who want to see all of the details.

“We can now pay attention to those moments that we really like and draw more attention to the ones we didn’t even know were there,” he said.

Saputo ready to milk TPPBY THE CANADIAN PRESS

LAVAL, Que. — The head of the country’s largest dairy processor says Saputo Inc. is well positioned to benefit from whatever change is made to Canada’s dairy supply management system as a result of a large trade deal that’s currently being negotiated.

Chief executive Lino Saputo Jr. says the company will be able to adapt to the Trans-Pacific Partner-ship because it has large operations on both sides of the Canada-U.S. border and in other countries.

Dairy farmers have been worried they could be hurt if there are dramatic changes to Canada’s pro-tective supply management system, as demanded by

some of the 12 countries involved in negotiating the trade deal.

Saputo says the Quebec-based cheese and dairy processor (TSX:SAP) has thrived under the current system but a deal could open north-south trade from its U.S. operations.

He told the company’s annual shareholders meet-ing that he thinks the agreement will be good for Saputo, whatever happens.

Earlier, Saputo announced it had a smaller profit and lower sales in the first quarter of its 2016 fiscal year.

The Montreal-area company says its net income for the three months ended June 30 was $136.4 mil-lion, down $8.9 million or 6.1 per cent from $145.3 million the same time last year.

Adjusted net income was $137 million, down from $145.3 million a year earlier.

Saputo’s profit amounted to 34 cents per share, before and after adjustments, down from 36 cents per share a year earlier.

Revenue was $2.56 billion for the quarter was down $56.4 million or 2.2 per cent from the compa-rable period last year.

The profit was in line with analyst estimates of 34 cents per share but revenue was about $100 mil-lion below the estimate of $2.66 billion, according to Thomson Reuters.

Air Canada bans shipments of hunting trophies after killing of Cecil the lionTORONTO — Air Canada says it will no longer

transport big-game hunting trophies after the killing of Cecil the lion drew international attention.

A company spokesman says the airline will no longer carry trophies from lions, leopards, el-ephants, rhinoceros and water buffaloes.

Peter Fitzpatrick says such shipments have been extremely rare in the past because the company does not operate flights to South Africa, where big-game hunting is a booming industry.

He says the company already complies with exist-ing regulations on transporting endangered wildlife.

Deere & Co. recalls 370 lawn tractors in Canada due to crash risk

NEW YORK — Deere is recalling more than 2,000 lawn tractors, including 370 in Canada, because the brake arm can fail and cause a crash.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission says there have been no reports of injuries.

The recall is for John Deere models D110, D125, D130, D140, D155, D160 and D170 with serial numbers beginning with 1GXD.

They were sold at Home Depot, Lowe’s and other stores since May.

They cost between $1,700 and $2,700.About 1,700 were sold in the U.S. and the rest in

Canada.

Mining industry still horrified by Mount Polley tailings pond collapse: Bennett

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

KAMLOOPS, B.C. — British Columbia’s mines minister says the mining industry remains horrified a year after a tailings pond collapsed at the Mount Polley mine northwest of Williams Lake.

Bill Bennett said no one thought a crisis on such a scale was possible but that even now he can’t guar-antee that another breach of a tailings pond won’t happen because only some of the risk factors can be eliminated.

“We didn’t eliminate enough of the risk and we have to figure out, and we are figuring out, how to eliminate the rest of that risk,” he said of the Aug. 4, 2014 accident.

About 24 millions cubic metres of waste spilled into area waterways, causing an environmental di-saster.

“It totally destroyed the creek that comes out of Polley Lake and flows past the tailings storage facil-ity, past the mine, down into Quesnel Lake,” Bennett said. “You had millions of trees and roots and mud and all kinds of stuff in Quesnel Lake. It looked hor-rible, it was horrible.”

Imperial Metals (TSX:III), which operates the gold and copper mine, has spent about $67 million on cleanup of the region, repair of the damaged bed of Hazeltine Creek and monitoring of water quality in area lakes.

Katrine Brino, president of the Mining Associa-tion of B.C., said much has been learned since the collapse of the tailings pond.

The industry has been forced to take a close look at all practices surrounding the construction, main-

tenance and use of tailings ponds, Brino said.She said accidents will happen but that inves-

tigators remain focused on the root causes of the collapse and that mitigating risk is the industry’s big-gest challenge.

An independent report determined poor dam de-sign caused the tailings pond to collapse.

The provincial government has spent $6 million on the cleanup, and Imperial Metals was granted conditional approval to reopen last month, although it still needs further permits before it can operate fully.

Bennett said water and sediment testing will have to continue for decades.

“Derek, how risky should I be with my invest-ments?”

Determining your willingness to accept risk is a very important piece of the investment puzzle. The real-ity is that we all define risk differently, but with an un-derstanding of how various investments are built you can choose your investment path accordingly.

Too often I meet investors who have chosen to take on substantial risks in their in-vestment strategy in the pur-suit of higher returns. While sometimes taking additional risks can translate into better returns, it can also lead to di-saster. Further, since risk can be interpreted differently, it’s important to consider what kind of risks you’re actually taking.

I regularly talk to clients who are interested in investing in penny stocks. Since the future of these companies is often uncertain there is a chance you may lose a considerable amount of your investment. This risk is referred to as business risk, as the likeli-hood you’ll make (or lose) money is very much de-pendent on the ability of that one stock to grow into a larger company.

I also consider these stocks to be less about in-vesting, and more about speculating. I have seen numerous penny stocks fail and only a handful grow into a much larger company.

On the other side, some people are completely risk adverse and prefer investments with guaranteed interest rates.

While they may not see the value of their invest-ment decline on paper, the reality is that if they are not earning enough interest they may be faced with inflationary risk.

This risk is the inability of your money to keep pace with inflation.

If the interest earned is taxed you could easily find the amount you’ve earned actually losing money every year simply due to rising inflation.

Some investments are “locked-in” for a period of years, which means you have liquidity risk, or the inability to get at your money should you absolutely need it.

While it’s impossible to predict the future you should consider what would happen if you needed to get at your funds.

Liquidity risk can also occur with real estate, particularly if you have no buyers interested in your home and selling it is urgent.

Another factor to consider is currency risk. If you’ve had money invested in the US dollar recently you’ve seen your money appreciate against the Cana-dian dollar. This bet has worked in your favour, but the reality is that if the Canadian dollar were to sud-denly appreciate your cash would lose value simply due to the difference in currency. So in this example, even cash has risks.

What’s important is to understand why you’re tak-ing risks and what your end goal is. For example, if your financial plan shows you need to generate a 5% return every year, why would you chase penny stocks?

If you need your savings next year to buy a house,

is buying a volatile energy stock the best decision? In the same example, if you need a 5% return to meet your goal would an investment paying a guaranteed 2% help or hurt your future?

I often share the example of driving down the highway. You can stay within the speed limit and reach your destination in a reasonable amount of time.

However, you can also drive at very high speeds and perhaps get to your destination sooner. The ob-vious example is that driving faster does not always mean you reach your destination safer, if at all.

One way to mitigate risk is by diversifying. Consid-er choosing various investments which may reduce some of the unknown factors and perhaps eliminate some risks altogether.

This doesn’t mean you can choose random invest-ments, rather special thought is required to under-stand how your money will react given economic sce-narios. Longer time horizons can also help mitigate some risks as your portfolio will have more time to recover losses.

I often tell my clients that my job is to get them the best possible return while taking on the least amount of risk they are willing to accept. It’s a balancing act and there is no magical formula. Ultimately the risks you take will determine your ability to reach your investment goals.

Developer gets extension for storm water system approval

A developer in Gasoline Alley has been given more time to line up provincial approval for a storm water system.

Century Group Lands was granted permission to subdivide 5.3 acres out of its property south of Waskasoo Avenue in Gasoline Alley for a storm wa-

ter pond in February 2014.However, the developer is still waiting Alberta

Environment and Parks approval to use an existing unnamed slough for the project and an extension was requested for the county’s approval.

Normally, developers have a year from the time of subdivision approval to get their projects going.

County council heard from planners that the de-veloper is close to lining up the necessary approval from the province to go ahead with its project. Coun-cil granted an extension to August 2016.

County has no objections to poultry farm improvement

Red Deer County has offered no objections to a

poultry farmer’s plans to improve his operation.A poultry operator about four km southeast of

Bowden has applied to the Natural Resources Con-servation Board (NRCB) to expand a concrete pad for solid manure. No increase in poultry numbers is planned.

As is routine, the NRCB has approached the county to comment before making a decision on the application.

Council had no objections to the proposal. In June, the county had approved a new pullet

barn and concrete pad for the farm, which now has four poultry barns and two pullet barns.

Mayor Jim Wood said expanding the pad is an im-provement that will protect the environment.

“Not only do I not object, I think it’s great,” he said.

LOCALBRIEFS

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — These days it seems whatever can be burned to power a car, heat a home, make elec-tricity or ship people and goods around the globe is being sold at bargain basement prices.

Prices for coal, natural gas, oil and the fuels made from crude such as gasoline and diesel are all far less expensive than they have been in recent years.

Consumers are rejoicing. Fossil fuel companies are reeling. Countries that import energy, such as the U.S., China, Japan and those in the European Union, are getting an economic boost. Exporters, such as Russia, Saudi Arabia and Venezuela are fac-ing lower income and budget shortfalls.

Commodities in general are slumping. The S&P global commodity index hit its lowest level since 2002 on July 27, lower even than during the 2008 global financial crisis.

The recent price declines are a result of complex factors that have led to a simple outcome: There is more than enough fossil fuels at the ready than cus-tomers need.

“We just have too much energy hitting the world,” says Suzanne Minter, manager for oil and gas con-sulting at Bentek Energy, a division of Platts.

CRUDE OILPrice: Average for the year through July is $53 a

barrel, down 48 per cent compared with the same pe-riod last year and on track for its lowest annual aver-age since 2004. On Monday U.S. crude posted another sharp decline, falling 4 per cent to $45.17 a barrel.

Reason: Huge increases in oil production in the U.S. and Canada, along with sizable gains in Iraq and elsewhere, helped boost global supplies. Saudi Arabia and other OPEC nations kept pumping crude at high levels. Iranian crude could soon return to the market after being kept off by sanctions. Meanwhile, global demand for crude is not as strong as expected because China’s growth has cooled and other econo-mies have become more energy efficient.

FUELSGasoline: The average U.S. retail price is down 30

per cent through the first half of the year. It is now $2.65 a gallon, according to AAA, lower for this time of year than any other year over the last decade ex-cept 2009.

Diesel and heating oil: Average retail prices for both are down 27 per cent.

Reason: When oil prices fall, the cost for refin-ers to turn it into petroleum products and fuels goes down. U.S. refineries have been running at full strength, and big new refineries in Saudi Arabia and elsewhere have added to global supplies of fuels.

NATURAL GASFutures: U.S. futures have averaged $2.77 per

thousand cubic feet through the first half of the year, 40 per cent lower than last year.

Residential prices: Averaged 9 per cent lower through the first half of the year. For the full year, natural gas is expected to average $10.27 per thou-sand cubic feet, the lowest since 2003, according to the Energy Department.

Reason: U.S. production is strong. Relatively mild weather has tempered demand for heating and elec-tric power plants. Around the world, natural gas prices have also fallen because they are often linked to the price of crude and production of liquefied nat-ural gas that can be shipped overseas is ramping up.

COALPrice: The average price of coal used for electric-

ity from Central Appalachia is 20 per cent lower than last year, according to Platts. In June, the price hit an eight-year low.

Reason: Coal is sitting in piles or being left under-ground as U.S. electric power generators burn cheap natural gas instead. In April natural gas briefly over-took coal as the top fuel for electric power for the fist time. Demand for coal is growing globally, but local mining capacity is also growing. Pollution concerns and slower global economic growth are also keeping a lid on coal demand.

Coal consumption could fall even more dramati-cally if rules announced Monday by President Ba-rack Obama to limit carbon dioxide from electric power plants survive expected legal challenges.

HOW LOW PRICES HELPLower energy prices are good for consumers, giv-

ing them more money to spend, and for the broader economy. Consumer spending accounts for about two-thirds of the U.S. economy.

While sales at retailers haven’t spiked, as econo-mists thought they might, consumer spending is growing faster than the overall economy, suggesting lower fuel prices have helped.

“It’s not this huge boost in spending but it is very good news, relieving pressure at a time when wage growth is not very strong,” says Nariman Behravesh, chief economist at IHS.

He calculates that the decline in gasoline prices is saving customers about $800 a year compared with what they were spending between 2010 and 2014.

HOW LOW PRICES HURTEnergy company profits and share prices have

been crushed. Quarterly earnings dropped 52 per cent at Exxon and 90 per cent at Chevron, the compa-nies announced last week. On Monday Alpha Natural Resources became the fourth U.S. coal company to seek bankruptcy protection in the last 15 months.

SAN FRANCISCO — Apple is slumping as the

usually high-flying tech stock struggles with the bur-

den of raised expectations.

The world’s most valuable public company saw its

stock price drop for a fifth straight day on Tuesday,

falling as much as $5.19, or 4.4 per cent, to $113.25

as investors fret over China’s economy and whether

Apple can keep growing at the pace it’s maintained

over the last few quarters.

Apple shares closed Tuesday at $114.64 — down 14

per cent since hitting a record $133.60 in February.

That puts Apple in a “correction,” which is Wall

Street jargon for price declines of 10 per cent or

more from a peak.

The slide has wiped out more than $96 billion in

market value.

The stock also dropped below its 200-day moving

average, a technical indicator that traders use to

gauge momentum.

And as a sign of Apple’s outsized role in the mar-

ket, its decline Tuesday accounted for more than

half of the 47-point drop in the Dow Jones industrial

average for the day.

Apple is also by far the biggest component in the

Standard & Poor’s 500, making up 3.6 per cent of the

index, which is a benchmark for most mutual funds.

Apple sold more than 47 million of its signature

iPhones in the last quarter, or 35 per cent more than

a year earlier.

That drove the company’s profit and earnings

above Wall Street estimates. But demand for the iP-

hone and Apple’s new smartwatch still fell short of

some analysts’ more bullish predictions, and execu-

tives gave a forecast for the current period that was

also lower than some analysts expected.

That has sent the stock into a decline since Apple

reported earnings on July 21.

Shareholders are also worried about recent hic-

cups in China’s economy, because the country is

viewed as one of Apple’s biggest markets for expan-

sion, said Daniel Ives, a managing director and se-

nior analyst for FBR Capital Markets.

He added that investors are looking ahead to the

December quarter, which is traditionally Apple’s

strongest.

The company sold 74 million iPh

ones during that period last year, a 46 per cent

jump.

But with a much larger volume to compare

against, it will be more difficult for Apple to show

that kind of year-over-year growth again.

But new products like Apple Pay and the expect-

ed release of new iPhone models this fall could give

the company a boost, Ives said.

Apple’s current slump isn’t as severe as an earlier

slide that began almost three years ago, in a period

when investors worried that the Cupertino, Califor-

nia, company had run out of ideas to counter growing

competition from other smartphone and tablet mak-

ers.

Apple shares fell 45 per cent from a split-adjusted

peak of $100.72 in September 2012 to a low of $55.01

in April 2013.

By June of that year, however, the stock had em-

barked on a steady climb upward again.

MARKETS CLOSETORONTO — The Cana-

dian dollar ended Tuesday at its lowest point since August 2004, closing more than half a cent from the previous session.

The loonie closed at 75.87 cents US, down .58 cent of a U.S. cent from Friday’s close. Canadian markets were closed on Monday.

The S&P/TSX composite in-dex ended the day at 14,491.05, up 22.61 from Friday’s close.

Ian Nakamoto, director of re-search at 3Macs, said a lack of confidence in global growth has been weighing on stock markets around the world and dragging down the Canadian dollar.

In New York, the Dow Jones industrial average closed down 47.51 points at 17,550.69, the Nasdaq index fell 9.84 points to 5,105.55 and the S&P 500 slipped 4.72 points to 2,093.32.

Here in Canada, Nakamoto said, the pessimistic global fore-cast means investors foresee less demand for the raw materi-als and energy that Canada pro-duces.

“We’re in an environment where there is excess supply in those things, very low demand, and that translates into weak commodity prices and weak stocks that produce those com-modities,” Nakamoto said.

With less demand for Cana-dian energy and mining and a recovering American economy, he said, the Canadian dollar be-comes less valuable against the greenback.

On the commodity markets, the December gold contract end-ed at US$1,090.70 an ounce, up $1.30 from Monday, while the September crude contract closed at US$45.74 a barrel, up 57 cents.

The September contract for natural gas closed up 6.4 cents to US$2.812.

Nakamoto said recent news reports focusing on volatility in the Chinese stock market and the Greek debt crisis ignore a

more widespread sluggishness in the global market.

“If the U.S. and Europe were very strong and China was doing the same thing, I don’t think it would be nearly as bad for the commodities,” he said.

Nakamoto said that some see the value of the Canadian dollar as a source of national pride, and that average Cana-dians will feel the bite when it comes to imported goods and vacations down south.

But he said the news is posi-tive for some sectors, especially those hit by the recent slide in commodity prices.

Canadian companies in the resource and export sectors are well-positioned to take advan-tage when growth picks up, Na-kamoto said, because they take in revenue in American dollars and pay their costs in the cheap-er Canadian currency.

“It acts as a buffer,” he said. “In Canada the revenue is falling, but it’s not falling as quickly. A lot of the damage in the mate-rial sector is going to be for U.S. companies with costs in U.S. dol-lars.”

Clothing retailer Laura files for creditor protection, plans

to restructureMONTREAL — Canadian retailer

Laura’s Shoppe Inc. has filed for credi-tor protection as part of an effort to ensure its survival.

The owner of 150 women’s clothing stores, under various Laura banners and Melanie Lyne, says it faced large

losses in both 2012 and 2013 as it made changes to its merchandise lines that didn’t resonate with its customers.

“Sales have since rebounded, but additional initiatives need to be put into place to complete the restructur-ing of the retailer’s operations,” the company said Tuesday in a statement.

“Filing is one of the steps that has been taken to achieve this objective.”

Laura is considering the steps of its restructuring process, which will in-clude closing underperforming stores, it said.

Representatives for the company did not answer requests for comment or additional details.

NEWS IN BRIEF

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — CEOs make a lot more than the average working Joe or Jane. And in the near future, Ameri-cans will find out how big the dispar-ity actually is within publicly traded companies.

Federal regulators, under mandate from a 2010 law that reshaped regula-tion after the financial crisis, will re-quire companies to reveal the extent of their own pay gaps. The Securities and Exchange Commission is scheduled to vote Wednesday to formally adopt the rule, which will compel public compa-nies to disclose the ratio between their chief executives’ annual compensation and median employee pay.

Public reporting of the gap is un-likely to result in a rush to cut execu-tives’ pay packages or boost employee salaries. The numbers could pack a symbolic punch, though, and nudge company directors as watchdogs to push back on executives’ excess, sup-porters of disclosure say.

The issue of executive compensa-tion took on greater urgency in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. Out-size pay packages — often tied to the company’s stock price — were blamed for encouraging disastrous risk-taking and short-term gain at the expense of long-term performance.

Although a handful of U.S. com-panies currently disclose the ratio of CEO compensation to rank-and-file worker’s pay, they don’t calculate it the way the SEC is requiring, according to an analysis by the law firm Simpson Thacher & Bartlett. It won’t be known until the SEC acts how soon the new information would start showing up in companies’ financial reports.

The vote at the public meeting is likely to split the five-member SEC along partisan lines, as it did when the rule was proposed in September 2013. The two Republican commission-ers, Daniel Gallagher and Michael Pi-wowar, at the time called it a shaming exercise and political showmanship.

Business interests such as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce have lobbied against the requirement, saying it will be costly and time-consuming for com-panies to gather the information. The Chamber maintains it will cost U.S. companies more than $700 million a year, compared with the SEC’s esti-mate of about $73 million.

“It will impose on companies and their shareholders an extremely cost-ly and burdensome requirement, and compel companies to disclose immate-rial, if not misleading, information,” Mike Ryan, vice-president of corporate governance at the Business Round-table, said in a statement Monday. The group represents chief executives at the largest U.S. companies.

On the other side, investor advo-cates, shareholder groups and union pension funds have pushed for report-ing of the CEO-employee pay gap. They say the gulf has widened about ten-fold since 1950. Moreover, fat pay packages for executives don’t necessarily track with strong financial performance by the company, critics say.

“We think it’s very important, very clear information,” said Ed Mierzwin-ski, consumer program director at U.S. Public Interest Research Group. “It’s going to send a message to investors.”

During the nearly two years since the SEC first proposed the rule and sent it out for public comment:

—Pay packages for CEOs grew for the fifth straight year in 2014, driven by a rising stock market that pushed up the value of executive stock awards. Median compensation for the heads of Standard & Poor’s 500 companies rose to a record $10.6 million, up from $10.5 million the year before, according to a recent study by executive-compensa-tion data firm Equilar and The Associ-ated Press.

—The gap between CEOs’ pay and that of the average worker narrowed slightly last year, because average wag-es crept up more than CEO pay did. A chief executive made about 205 times the average worker’s wage last year, compared with 257 times in 2013, ac-cording to AP calculations using earn-ings statistics from the Labor Depart-ment.

The average annual salary for U.S. employees was $47,230 in 2014, accord-ing to the Labor Department. The aver-age salary differs from the median in the SEC’s rule — the median is the sal-ary point at which half the company’s employees earn more and half earn less. In a nod to the public outrage spurred during the financial crisis, shareholders already get to weigh in on executives’ pay packages. In 2011 the SEC gave shareholders at public companies the right to register their opinions on the executives’ pay in a non-binding vote.

U.S. regulations will require public companies to reveal

Blue Jays 3 Twins 1TORONTO — Troy Tulowitzki has

found a kindred spirit in Toronto.Tulowiztki and Josh Donaldson both

hit home runs early in the Blue Jays’ 3-1 win over the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday as Toronto added to its lead in the American League wild-card race.

The newly acquired Blue Jays short-stop thinks that he and Donaldson are alike on the field, even if they have dif-ferent temperaments in the clubhouse.

“He’s outgoing, outspoken at times, he has a lot of fun. Not that I don’t, but I’m more of the serious guy,” said Tulowitzki. “But on the field there’s some similarities. Guys that compete. Guys that grind out at-bats. Guys that probably put winning first and guys that hopefully make a difference when they’re on a team.”

Tulowitzki was acquired in a trade with the Colorado Rockies on July 28th along with reliever LaTroy Hawk-ins for shortstop Jose Reyes, reliever Miguel Castro and minor-league pitch-ers Jeff Hoffman and Jesus Tinoco.

He’s hit two home runs since coming to Toronto and is feeling more com-fortable, thanks in part to Donaldson’s influence.

“It’s been about a week here and Josh is definitely fun to be around, someone that I’ve admired from the other side,” said Tulowitzki. “Getting a chance to play with him, it’s special and hopefully it’s for a long time.”

Marco Estrada (9-6) struck out five over 6 2/3 innings, giving up two hits and a run for Toronto (56-52).

The Blue Jays have won three straight and hold the AL’s second wild-card spot.

“I think we feel pretty good with the new guys that we’ve brought in,” said Estrada. “It’s just an exciting time right now. As long as we win and keep this going that’s all that matters.”

Mark Lowe and Aaron Sanchez com-

bined for an inning and a half of score-less relief. Roberto Osuna earned his eighth save of the season.

Sanchez and Blue Jays manager John Gibbons were suspended by Ma-jor League Baseball on Tuesday after-noon for their roles in a bench-clear-ing altercation against the Kansas City Royals on Sunday.

Sanchez was suspended for three games and fined for his role in the in-cident, but he appealed the decision allowing him to stay on Toronto’s ac-tive roster.

Gibbons served his one-game sus-pension Tuesday night, with bench

coach DeMarlo Hale managing the game in his absence.

Phil Hughes (10-7) allowed five hits and three runs in the start for Minne-sota (54-52), which has dropped three straight to give up the second AL wild-card spot to Toronto.

Hughes said after the loss that the early home runs by Donaldson and Tu-lowitzki “kind of took me off my game a little bit.”

Ryan O’Rourke, Casey Fien and Kevin Jepsen came out of the bullpen for the Twins.

When Travis Sanheim was cut from Canada’s world junior hockey camp nine months ago, the coaching staff told the young defenceman they ex-pected him to be a crucial piece to the 2016 team. He watched his would-be teammates win gold on home ice.

Dylan Strome and Mitch Marner were watching, too, eager to see re-spective Ontario Hockey League team-mates Connor McDavid and Max Domi put on a show on the biggest junior stage.

Those three players and others, in-cluding forward Michael Dal Colle and defenceman Jeremy Roy, arrived at Canada’s world junior summer camp with plenty of expectations on them-selves to make the 2016 team, and Strome, Marner and Sanheim should be among the go-to players in Helsinki.

But they’re all reluctant to think of themselves as the next generation of stars because they’re several months away from even earning a spot on Can-ada’s roster.

“I don’t think you expect anything, and you don’t take anything for grant-ed,” Sanheim said in a phone inter-view Monday. “It’s Team Canada. It’s

the greatest hockey country in the world, and it’s going to be a tough team no matter what.”

The 2015 team was impossibly dif-ficult to make, especially for 17-year-olds. Only McDavid, who went first in the NHL draft to the Edmonton Oilers, and winger Lawson Crouse, a fellow top-10 pick, could claim that distinc-tion.

So as disappointed as he was, San-heim realized why he was one of the final cuts last December, and Strome and Marner got why they were passed over for camp invites. Now they’re ex-pected to get big roles and are moti-vated by that.

“We both wanted to make that team,” Marner said of himself and Strome. “Such skilful forward lines that when we didn’t make it I think we both understood our chances next year. Both of us are on a line this year for this camp.

“We’ve got to leave our footprint. I think we’re both willing to do that.”

Leaving a footprint is important because coach Dave Lowry said the summer camp is just the beginning of the evaluation process. Roster spots aren’t assured for Strome, the third pick to the Arizona Coyotes, or Marner, who went fourth to the Toronto Maple

Leafs, even though they went 1-2 in OHL scoring last season.

“No one cares where you got draft-ed, no one cares who you got draft-ed to,” said Strome, who along with Marner scored a goal in Canada’s 4-1 win against Russia in exhibition action Monday night. “It’s about showing what you got at camp and what you got dur-ing the season, and if they think you’re good enough to go to (main) camp, then you’ve got to prove it again at Christ-mastime to make the team.”

This summer, beyond Hockey Cana-da’s camp in Calgary, is an important time for these players as they seek to build on good seasons and prove they can do more.

Strome continues to work with skat-ing coach Dawn Braid, who years ago helped John Tavares turn his biggest weakness into a strength, while Marn-er and Sanheim want to improve de-fensively.

“I want to show them that I can play offence and defence, no matter what they expect from me,” said Marner, who is expected to return to the Lon-don Knights this season as the Maple Leafs bring their prospects along slow-ly. “Whatever (Canadian coaches) want I can do. If that’s being on the third line and shutting down, I can do it. If it

means being on the first or second and trying to get points, I’ll do that too.”

Sanheim, a top Philadelphia Flyers prospect, wants to steady his defensive presence for his future and the world juniors.

Next generation of junior stars taking nothing for grantedPoint, Virtanen lead Canada over Czechs

CALGARY — Brayden Point scored two goals and added three assists to pow-er the Canadian under-20 hockey team to a 7-1 victory over the Czech Republic at the national teams’ development camp on Tuesday.

Jake Virtanen also had two goals for Canada, which has won back-to-back games. Brandon Hickey, Rebels blue-liner Haydn Fleury, and Rourke Chartier rounded out the attack and Travis Konec-ny chipped in with three assists. Rebels captain Conner Bleackley had an assist in the win.

Filip Chlapik scored the lone goal for the Czech Republic.

Mackenzie Blackwood turned aside 26 shots in the Canadian net.

Vitek Vanecek made 27 saves in de-feat.

Sanchez suspended three games, Gibbons one after

ugly Jays-Royals gameTORONTO — Major League Baseball

suspended Toronto pitcher Aaron San-chez for three games and manager John Gibbons for one game Tuesday as part of the fallout of a testy game between the Blue Jays and the Kansas City Royals.

MLB also fined Sanchez an undis-closed amount for intentionally throwing a pitch at Alcides Escobar with warnings in place during the top of the eighth inning of Toronto’s 5-2 win Sunday. Sanchez de-nied intentionally hitting Escobar, arguing his pitch just got away.

Sanchez said he won’t speak on the suspension until after his appeal was heard by MLB.

“Hopefully they’ll chip that down a little bit,” said Gibbons about Sanchez’s pun-ishment. “But I think that’s kind of auto-matic too after warnings when you get ejected for hitting a guy.”

Gibbons was suspended for returning to the field following an ejection. He was set to miss Tuesday night’s home game against Minnesota.

Although he was allowed to set the line-up and address media before the game, Gibbons had to leave the clubhouse area before the opening pitch and was unsure of where in the stadium he’d watch the game against the Twins.

“I didn’t know for sure if (the suspen-sion) was going to happen but that’s the rules, that’s the law,” said Gibbons in his office at Rogers Centre. “Really though the coaches don’t go out there to throw punches. You usually just go out there to make peace. But that’s the rule.” Sanchez may play while his appeal is heard. Gib-bons said the right-handed pitcher was consulting with his agent and Blue Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos about the appeal. Gibbons added that the team didn’t yet know the details of Sanchez’s appeal process.

Riggers take down Cubs in game onePhoto by JEFF STOKOE/Advocate staff

Red Deer Rigger Denver Wik makes the throw to first as he makes good on a double play to end the third inning for the Edmonton Confederation Park Cubs. The Riggers and the Cubs were playing Game 1 of the Sunburst Baseball League playoffs at Great Chief Park on Tuesday.

Riggers 11 Cubs 6Red Deer Riggers’ manager Curtis

Bailey wasn’t afraid to hand the ball to veteran right-hander Davin Gulbransen for the opening game of their best-of-three Sunburst Baseball League and provincial semifinal against the Ed-monton Confederation Park Cubs.

Gulbransen has a history of coming up big in key games and Tuesday at Great Chief Park was no different.

Gulbransen worked into the eighth inning before tiring but that was enough to lead the Riggers to an 11-6 victory.

“Davin did a great job, he kept us in the game until he started to tire a bit later on,” said Bailey. “He did enough for us to take the lead for good.”

Gulbransen handed the ball to Joel Peterman with two out and one on in the eighth. Peterman fanned Clay Davis to end the inning and got through the ninth, allowing an unearned run on a pair of errors.

“Joel did a good job considering he hasn’t thrown for a few weeks,” said Bailey. “But he stepped up, threw strikes and did what we needed.”

The game got a bit sloppy over the final three innings, thanks mainly to a constant drizzle throughout the game.

“It wasn’t raining hard enough to call the game, but the ground got wet which affected the throws, plus the mound was sloppy ... a bit of a mess,” said Bai-ley.

RIGGERS: Jumped on Cub Start Riley Meskaluk

The Riggers jumped on Cubs starter Riley Meska-luk for a pair of runs in the first inning on a bases loaded single by Jaret Chatwood.

Meskaluk shut the door over the next three in-nings. The Cubs made a game of it in the top of the fifth, scoring once and leaving the bases loaded thanks to a brilliant diving catch by right fielder Aaron Graves on a sinking liner off the bat of Dean Olson.

The Riggers came back with a run of their own in the bottom of the fifth as Jason Louis drove home Jason Chatwood, who had a two-out double. The Rig-gers got to Meskaluk for five runs on three hits and three walks in the sixth inning. Louis, who had three hits and a walk, had a two-run single.

“Jason is a great hitter. He has great focus and great plate discipline. He’ll go up and try to hit the ball 500 feet, if not he will cut back and try to hit 400 feet,” Bailey said with a laugh. “But really he is very disciplined.”

The Cubs got to Gulbransen for four runs — two earned — on four hits in the eighth. The Riggers came back with three runs of their own in the bot-tom of the frame on a pair of hits and an error. Jaret

Chatwood collected his third and fourth RBIs of the game with a single.

Jaret Chatwood also had three hits, Jason Chat-wood two and Curtis Mazurkewich added a single and two walks. Brett Semeniuk had three hits and Ryan Koslofsky two for the Cubs, who had Canadian National female team member Nicole Luchanski at second base. She had a walk and a bunt single in four plate appearances.

Luchanski and Red Deer’s Kelsey Lalor helped Canada win silver at the Pan Am Games.

JAYS: On the board earlyDonaldson got Toronto on the board early, hitting

his 28th home run of the season to deep left field in just the second at-bat of the game. He has homered in five of his last nine games.

Tulowitzki gave the Blue Jays a 2-0 lead with a solo shot over the left-field wall in the third inning.

“Those guys at the top, they can change the game with one swing of the bat,” said Hale. “It’s a threat from the start. (...) You’ve got a two-run lead, it’s a pretty good beginning.”

Torii Hunter cut Toronto’s lead to 2-1 in the

fourth. Estrada loaded the bases and Hunter’s sac-rifice fly to deep right field brought in Brian Dozier. Estrada got out of the jam in the next at-bat, striking out left-fielder Eddie Rosario.

The Blue Jays almost added to their lead in the bottom of the fourth. Kevin Pillar grounded out to third base with two out, but Trevor Plouffe’s throw was slightly off the mark, forcing first baseman Joe Mauer off the bag. Umpire Tom Woodring ruled that Mauer still tagged Pillar on the play.

If Pillar had been safe, Edwin Encarnacion would’ve easily scored from third.

Encarnacion did score in the sixth inning when Dioner Navarro drove him in with a soft double to left-centre field. That RBI gave Toronto a 3-1 lead and ended Hughes’s night.

Smith earns nine medals at Age Group nationals

Red Deer Catalina Swim Club star Rebecca Smith made an impression at the Canadian Age Group Championships.

Smith medaled in all nine of her events with three gold and six silver.

She won the 50 and 100-metre freestyle and the 200m Individual Medley in the 15 and under division, setting a provincial record in the 50m freestyle. Her time of 55.99 seconds in the 100m freestyle was a sec-ond ahead of the closest competitor and bettered the winning time in the 16-18 year-old division.

Josh Young won the 50m breaststroke and 400m I.M. in the 15-year-old category. He also was fifth in the 100m and 1,500m freestyle.

Daniel Stayer was 10th in the 16-year-old 50m freestyle while Justin Valentine was sixth in the 14-year-old 2.5-kilometre open water competition.

The Catalina women’s 4x100m medley relay team of Lainie Wareham, Mandy Smith, Kristen Trepanier and Rebecca Smith, placed fifth.

Trepanier, Stayer and Young will all compete in the Western Canada Games, beginning Wednesday in Fort McMurray while Rebecca Smith will compete in the World Junior Championships, Aug. 26-31 in Singapore.

Canucks sign centre Brandon Sutter to five-year contract extension

VANCOUVER — The Vancouver Canucks have signed Brandon Sutter to a five-year contract exten-sion at an average annual value of US$4.375 per sea-son.

The club acquired the six-foot-three, 190-pound centre and a third-round pick in 2016 from the Pitts-burgh Penguins last Tuesday for Nick Bonino, Adam Clendening and a 2016 second-round pick.

Sutter, who has a cap hit of $3.3 million in 2015-16, was set to become an unrestricted free agent next summer, but is now under contract through the 2020-21 season.

The 26-year-old from Red Deer had 21 goals, 12 assists and 14 penalty minutes in 80 games in mostly a third-line role with Pittsburgh last season behind Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. Sutter also fin-ished with a team-leading 50.6 per cent faceoff ef-ficiency and tied for second in the NHL with four short-handed goals. It’s expected that he will be given every opportunity by Canucks head coach Wil-lie Desjardins to be Vancouver’s No. 2 centre behind Henrik Sedin when training camp starts next month.

Canucks general manager Jim Benning said after last week’s trade that he viewed Sutter — the son of former NHL player and coach Brent Sutter — as “a foundation piece for our group.”

In 495 career NHL games, Sutter has 98 goals, 87 assists and 94 penalty minutes with Pittsburgh and the Carolina Hurricanes.

He also recorded 12 points (eight goals, four as-sists) in 33 playoff games with the Penguins. Drafted 11th overall by the Hurricanes in 2007, Sutter played for Canada at the 2008 world junior championships.

Pasula tied for 25th at Canadian junior boys’ golf championship

Red Deer’s Brett Pasula shot a second-round 80 to slip back into a tie for 25th at the Canadian junior boys’ golf championship at Vaudreuil-Dorion, Que., Tuesday.

Pasula had an opening round 72 to tie for fifth place. Andrew Harrison of Camrose, who was also tied for fifth after the first round, had a 75 Tuesday and is tied for eighth at 147, four strokes out of the lead. Jared Nicolls of Ponoka shot an 84-76—160 and missed the cut by three strokes.

Meanwhile at the junior girls’ championship in Yorkton, Sask., Shayne and Daria Leidenius of Po-noka sit well back after the first round.

Shaye is tied for 73rd after an opening 85 while Daria had an 90 and is tied for 88th.

Mahura named to U-18 teamRed Deer Rebels rearguard Josh Mahura was one

of 22 players selected to the Canadian National Sum-mer Under-18 team to play in the Ivan Hlinka Memo-rial tournament, Aug. 10-15 in the Czech Republic.

Mahura is one of seven defencemen on the team, which was named after a camp during the Hockey Canada Showcase in Calgary.

Overall there were 12 players from the Western Hockey League on the team.

LAS VEGAS — Floyd Mayweather Jr. will return to the ring for the first time since boxing’s richest fight ever, facing Andre Berto on Sept. 12 in what he has said will be his final fight.

The welterweight title bout doesn’t figure to be nearly as lucrative as Mayweather’s May 2 fight with Manny Pacquiao that earned him a reported $220 million. But it will still be sold on pay-per-view, even though Mayweather will be an overwhelming favou-rite to win for the 49th time in as many fights as a pro.

Berto, a 2004 Olympian, was once thought of as a rising star but has lost three of his last six fights. Two of those losses were to Robert Guerrero and Victor Ortiz, fighters that Mayweather beat easily.

“I always bring my A-game and this fight against Andre Berto is no exception,” Mayweather said in announcing the bout.

“He’s a young, strong fighter who is hungry to take down the best. Forty-eight have tried before and on September 12, I’m going to make it 49.”

The fight is the last in a six-bout deal that May-weather has with the Showtime network, and the boxer has said repeatedly he will retire when the deal is finished.

The 38-year-old retired once before, but came back to fight after taking a short break.

“Floyd has been completely consistent and hasn’t wavered a bit in saying this is his last fight,” said Ste-phen Espinoza, executive vice-president and general manager for Showtime Sports.

“He’s still arguably the best fighter in the sport so it’s somewhat surprising for him to step away now but I’ve never heard him say anything other than this will be his last.”

Espinoza dismissed criticism that the fight looks like a mismatch, saying there were complications trying to do a deal with Britain’s Amir Khan and not a big pool of other fighters to choose from. He said Berto will be aggressive against Mayweather, some-thing Pacquiao was not able or willing to be in their fight.

“He’s one of those fighters who never fails to en-tertain,” Espinoza said about Berto.

“His biggest flaw is he’s probably too aggressive.”Mayweather waited until the last possible mo-

ment to announce the fight, which will take place at the MGM Grand arena where he won a unanimous decision over Pacquiao. Mayweather and Berto will get together in Los Angeles on Thursday to promote the bout, which is less than six weeks away.

Berto (30-3) won his first 27 fights as a pro after losing in the first round of the Athens Olympics, win-ning a piece of the welterweight title along the way. But he was then beaten by Ortiz and would go on to lose back-to-back fights to Guerrero and Jesus Soto Karass.

Berto, who has rebounded to win his last two fights, said he will prove his worth in his biggest bout ever.

“Best believe that I plan to bring it to Floyd and I’m not concerned about what 48 other fighters have been unable to do,” he said.

“Somebody is getting knocked out and it won’t be me.”

If Mayweather beats Berto he would improve to 49-0, matching the perfect record set by Rocky Mar-ciano before he retired as heavyweight champion in 1956.

There has been speculation Mayweather would

fight at least once more to break the record, perhaps opening the MGM’s new arena on the Las Vegas Strip next spring.

Espinoza declined to say what he thought the Berto fight would sell on pay-per-view, coming on the heels of the record-setting 4.4 million buys of the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight.

It will, however, be cheaper, with a suggested price of $74.95 compared to $99.95 for Pacquiao.

Espinoza said Mayweather has done nearly 10 mil-lion PPV buys in his first five fights on the Showtime contract.

RIO DE JANEIRO — The head of the governing body of world rowing said Tuesday he will ask for viral testing at the rowing venue for next year’s Rio Olympics, and he expects all other water sports in Rio to follow suit.

The move comes after an Associated Press inves-tigation last week showed a serious health risk to about 1,400 Olympic athletes who will compete at water venues around Rio that are rife with human waste and sewage.

The Rio Olympics open in one year, Aug. 5, 2016.Following AP’s study, the World Health Organiza-

tion advised the International Olympic Committee to analyze viral levels in Rio waters.

“Together with the WHO and the IOC, we’re going to follow what they say,” Matt Smith, CEO of World Rowing, told AP. “We will ask that viral testing is done. If there is a problem, we will react. It’s our moral duty.”

Last week, the International Sailing Federation said it would seek independent viral testing in heav-ily polluted Guanabara Bay, the venue for Olympic sailing and wind surfing.

Smith said he has been in touch with his coun-terparts and expects the federations for canoeing, swimming and triathlon to also back viral tests.

Olympic canoeing and rowing will be held in the Rodrigo de Freitas lake in central Rio, and triathlon and distance swimming will take place by the famous Copacabana Beach.

In AP’s study, all Olympic water venues were shown to have dangerously high viral levels, accord-ing to water safety experts who reviewed the data.

In Rio, much of the waste and sewage goes un-treated and runs down hillside ditches and streams into Olympic water venues that are littered with floating rubbish, household waste, and dead animals. The problem becomes acute with heavy rains.

AP tests did not include a lagoon bordering the Olympic Park being built in the Rio suburb of Barra da Tijuca, the heart of next year’s Olympics. The gov-ernment’s own data shows that it’s one of the most

Every little bit helps. In an effort to raise $5 million to build the

Asooahum Centre, the Red Deer Native Friendship Society has launched a T-shirt fundraiser.

The “Keep Calm and Buffalo On” T-shirts have been flying off the racks since the campaign got underway last month.

Tanya Schur, Friendship Centre executive director, said the brightly red shirts were designed by a youth at the centre, and the saying came from elder Corky Larsen Jonasson.

Schur said the buffalo is considered sacred to many First Nations Plains people. It provided the people with knowledge to meet life’s challenges for survival and gives strength to keep moving through times of difficulty.

They have sold about 30 of the 50 printed shirts. The Asooahum Centre, a cultural hub, will be

built next to a still-to-be built housing development on Riverside Drive, east of Lions Campgrounds.

The society has $6 million in place for the 16 hous-ing units but must raise money for the cultural centre. Crews are expected to break ground on the housing units later this month.

The long-awaited project has been in the making for many years.

A proposed site in Clearview was scrapped after the project was met with opposition from the neighourhood.

Council approved rezoning of the Riverside land in 2013 after the city and the society reviewed more than 20 sites.

The groups agreed the site best aligned with the vision of the Asooahum Centre and long-term city planning.

Schur said once the shovels are in the ground, the society will launch a website where people can donate to the project.

They can also donate now directly at the Friendship Centre.

The T-shirts are $25 each at the centre (4808 51 Avenue).

Proceeds will go to the completion of the Asooahum Centre.

The on-again, off-again parole hearing for a La-combe woman serving jail time for the impaired driving death of two Red Deer teenagers is off-again.

According to the Parole Board of Canada, April Gail Beauclair, 33, has withdrawn her application for a hearing with the parole board to request tem-porary unescorted absences.

This is the second time she has cancelled a parole hearing this summer. A June 15 release said she was originally scheduled for a hearing seeking day parole and temporary unescorted absences on Aug. 6 or 7. Then, on June 25, a release said she had can-celled her hearing.

A July 15 release from the parole board said the hearing was back on, but only for temporary une-scorted absences. On Tuesday, Gary Sears, parole

board spokesperson, said Beauclair had withdrawn her hearing application.

Temporary unescorted absences typically provide inmates with an opportunity to access the commu-nity or another institution for medical, administra-tive, personal responsibility, compassionate reasons, community service, family contact, personal develop-ment or rehabilitative purposes.

Beauclair is serving a three-and-a-half year sen-tence after she was convicted of two counts of im-paired driving causing death in October 2012.

In March 2012, she drove her vehicle at about 110 km/h into the back of another vehicle.

Colton Keeler, 19, died at the scene. Tyson Vanderzwaag, 18, died in hospital six days after the crash. A third teen was injured. The three were pushing their disabled vehicle along Hwy 11A, Keel-er and Vanderzwaag from behind and the third teen, the driver, from the side of the car.

Beauclair was previously granted day parole,

but was denied full parole in November 2013. At the time, the parole board ruled she needed a more structured environment. At that hearing, Beauclair said she had driven drunk more than 50 times before the morning of the fatal crash.

On Oct. 1, 2014, the parole board revoked her day parole due to a number of concerns about her behav-iour. The parole board cited missed counselling and programing sessions that were part of her conditions for day parole.

She also cancelled her programs without consult-ing her parole officer.

Beauclair is eligible for statutory release on Sept. 9. Statutory release is mandated by law and not granted by the parole board. Most offenders receive it after serving two-thirds of their sentence.

However, the parole board can impose conditions on an offender’s release.

Woman found unconscious dies

A 44-year-old woman is dead after she was found unconscious in her room at the Buffalo Community Apartments on Friday. Red Deer RCMP do not believe the death is suspi-cious but may re-open the case if the Medical Exam-iner’s report suggests otherwise.

Staff at the building discovered the tenant around 4:45 p.m.

Police and Emergency Medical Services were called to the hotel and secured the area during the investigation.

Around 7 p.m. that same night, police were called back to the hotel to respond to an unrelated fight be-hind the hotel in the parking lot.

There were no arrests and no known injuries. The apartments are a joint effort between Potter’s

Hands Housing and the Canadian Mental Health Association-Central Alberta Region.

There are 39 people who live in the hotel.

Red Deer County introduces new rules for major events

Organizers of major events in Red Deer County will be required to have an emergency action plan in place.

The plan is the most significant change in an up-dated bylaw approved unanimously by county coun-cil on Tuesday.

Organizers will be expected to prepare a written plan identifying potential risks and procedures to be followed in the event of an emergency.

Staff recommended updates to the bylaw because of the growing number and size of events taking place in the county.

Most events routinely draw more than 100 people, and the Mud Hero race at Canyon Ski Area attracted 2,500 participants last year.

Coun. Christine Moore applauded the effort to bring a new level of safety to county events.

“It’s an excellent move forward.”Mayor Jim Wood said the bylaw provides clarity

on the county’s expectations for event organizers.The bylaw does not change the $100-application

fee for regular events or $1,000 for concerts.Council unanimously approved final reading of

the bylaw.

Collisions down on long weekend

Reported collisions on Alberta roadways were down compared to last year’s August holiday week-end.

Police say there were a total of 264 reported motor vehicle collisions compared to 304 collisions in 2014.

Of the collisions, there were three that resulted in fatalities, the same in 2014.

Two of the fatalities occurred in rural locations and one was on a highway. One involved a motor-cycle.

Five people have been arrested and/or charged in relation to 48 injury/fatal collisions.

Motorcycle collisions that resulted in an injury or fatality were up this past weekend over the same holiday weekend last year.

There were 12 motorcycles in 2015 compared to seven in 2014.

The August long weekend is from July 31 to Aug. 3.No statistics were available for Red Deer.

CENTENNIAL, Colo. — The prose-cutor of Colorado movie theatre shoot-er James Holmes urged jurors Tuesday to hear from the relatives of each of his 12 murder victims and decide that death is the only appropriate sentence for his attack three years ago.

The jury is trying to decide whether Holmes, a former neuroscience stu-dent, who was convicted of murdering 12 people and trying to kill 70 more during the 2012 assault in a Colora-do cinema, deserves to die or should be sentenced to life in prison with-out parole. The jurors on Monday re-jected arguments that mental illness and other potential reasons for mercy outweighed factors justifying a lethal injection.

After weeks of testimony about the crime and Holmes, District Attorney George Brauchler promised the jurors that they will finally “get a glimpse of who those people are who he shot to death.”

Holmes’s defence lawyer’s voice cracked as she insisted the crimes were caused by the psychotic break-down of a mentally ill young man.

“We will ask that you not answer death with death,” Rebekka Higgs said. Each of you will have to live with your decision for the rest of your lives, she added.

Even one juror’s objection to capi-tal punishment will mean life without parole for Holmes, Judge Carlos A. Samour Jr. said, but any mercy or sym-pathy for the defendant must be based on the evidence.

On the other hand, “no juror may make a decision for the death penalty unless the juror is convinced without a reasonable doubt that death is the ap-propriate sentence,” the judge said.

After brief opening statements, rela-tives began taking the stand.

Among them was Tom Sullivan, whose son Alex Sullivan had been cel-ebrating his 27th birthday and first wedding anniversary at the theatre.

“He was maybe every father’s dream,” Sullivan said in a shaky voice. “As a man you want a son and Alex was my son and he was also my best friend.”

Alex’s murder has left an empty spot at the dinner table, at his sister’s wed-ding, and even in the theatre where he was killed, because the family has made a point of seeing movies there, he said.

“We go up and we sit in Alex’s row, row 12, and we leave Alex’s seat open. We sit next to him,” Sullivan said, his voice wavering with emotion.

Jurors have rejected arguments for

mercy, but outside experts differed in their predictions of the final sentence.

“They’re making the ultimate deci-sion of life or death, quite literally,” Denver defence attorney Dan Recht said. “All they need is one holdout ... We are far from over on this.”

HOUSTON — The family of a black woman found dead in a Texas jail three days after a confrontation with a white state police officer filed a wrong-ful-death lawsuit Tuesday against the officer and other officials, saying it was a last resort after being unable to get enough information about the case.

Sandra Bland, a Chicago-area wom-an, died by what authorities say was suicide in her Waller County jail cell on July 13. Her family and others pre-viously questioned that, and criticized the trooper who stopped her for failing to signal a lane change. Bland’s death came after nearly a year of heightened scrutiny of police and their treatment of African-Americans, especially those who have been killed by officers or died in police custody.

“The bottom line is she never should have been inside the jail cell. Period,” Bland’s mother, Geneva Reed-Veal, said at a news conference. Reed-Veal, her Bible within reach, said she was confident Bland “knew enough about Jesus” that she wouldn’t hang herself and her feelings as a mother say her daughter didn’t. But “anything is pos-sible,” she said.

“Now I’m the first one to tell you, if the facts ... show without a doubt that that was the case, I’ll have to be pre-pared to deal with that,” she said.

The lawsuit, with Reed-Veal as plaintiff, seeks unspecified punitive damages “for egregious acts and omis-sions” by Trooper Brian Encinia, the Texas Department of Public Safety, Waller County, the sheriff’s office and two jail employees.

Bland was in Prairie View, north-west of Houston, when she was stopped July 10 for a minor traffic infraction. Dashcam video shows the confronta-tion swiftly escalated after she ob-jected to being told to put out her cig-arette. Encinia at one point is seen holding a stun gun as he says, “I will light you up!” after Bland refuses to get out of her car. Bland eventually was arrested for allegedly assaulting the trooper.

The lawsuit contends Encinia fal-sified the assault allegation to take Bland into custody, that Waller County jail personnel failed to keep her safe and free from psychological injury or harm, and that she was placed in a cell “with a variety of inappropriate

items for a jail cell, including a large garbage can, garbage bags, exposed beams, cords, and other items.”

An autopsy determined that Bland hanged herself from a partition in the cell. Her family has previously said she was looking forward to a new job.

“In the face of Sandy being the light that she was, it is very difficult for them to get their minds around the notion that she would hurt herself,” the family’s attorney Cannon Lambert said. “At the same time, this family is aware of the possibility.”

Lambert said the family’s own au-topsy has been delayed by missing in-formation from authorities, and that information the family has received from law enforcement has been incon-

sistent.Since her death, authorities have re-

leased the findings of Bland’s autopsy, her arrest affidavit, an initial toxicol-ogy report, surveillance video showing her in the jail, her jail intake records and the dash camera video.

Lambert said the family also needs to know what was done to try to help her.

The lawsuit says the Department of Public Safety failed to property train Encinia, that Waller County jail personnel failed to properly monitor Bland “to keep her safe and secure,” and that the county inadequately trained jail employees on how to han-dle inmates who are potentially sui-cidal.

Larry Simmons, an attorney for Waller County, said the county would soon file a response to the lawsuit “and our court filings will clearly articulate the county’s legal position in this mat-ter.”

The Department of Public Safety said in a statement it had not received notice of the lawsuit “and we do not discuss potential or pending litiga-tion.”

Lambert expressed dismay that En-cinia remains on administrative leave rather than being fired. The officer, on the force for just over a year, has been placed on leave for violating unspeci-fied police procedures and the depart-ment’s courtesy policy.

U.S. moving closer to intervening in high-stakes

Palestinian terror caseWASHINGTON — The U.S. govern-

ment is moving closer to intervening in a high-stakes civil case over deadly Palestinian terror attacks as officials met Tuesday with victims’ families to discuss concerns over a jury verdict worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

The meeting came amid objections from a lawyer for the plaintiffs, who said the United States was “consid-ering putting a thumb on the scale” because the Palestinian government opposes the jury verdict.

“The Palestinians got a fair trial. The judgment was foreseeable, and they can afford to pay it over time,” attorney Kent Yalowitz said in an in-terview.

At issue is $218.5 million in dam-ages awarded by a jury in February for attacks that killed 33 people — a pen-alty that lawyers say would be tripled under the U.S. Anti-Terrorism Act, but that the State Department fears could weaken the stability of the Palestinian government.

The case has represented one of the most notable efforts by American vic-tims of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to seek damages in U.S. courts, though the plaintiffs may face challenges in trying to collect. The Palestinian Au-thority and the Palestine Liberation Organization, which were held liable for the bloodshed following dramatic testimony from survivors and victims’ relatives, have indicated that they are unable to pay the damages and won’t provide money while their appeal is pending.

U.S. doctor says he hunted lion legallyBY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PITTSBURGH — An American doc-tor accused of killing a lion in an il-legal hunt in Zimbabwe said Tuesday that he had complied with all rules and regulations, filled out all the nec-essary paperwork and obtained the correct permits.

The Zimbabwe government said Sunday that Dr. Jan Seski of Pennsyl-vania used a bow and arrow in April to kill a lion without approval, on land where such hunting was not allowed.

But in a statement issued by his at-torney, Seski said he had engaged in a “lawfully permitted hunt” and that it happened in July, not April, as Zimba-bwe officials had said.

“During this trip, Dr. Seski did law-

fully hunt and take a lion,” said his Washington attorney, Gregory Linsin. “As required by the rules in Zimba-bwe, he promptly notified the Zimba-bwean authorities and provided them with all of the information and paper-work required by law. He ensured that he was at all times in compliance with all rules, regulations and laws, and had the necessary permits required by Zimbabwe.”

In an earlier case that created an international furor, another American, James Walter Palmer, was accused of killing a well-known lion named Cecil in an early July hunt that Zimbabwe of-ficials said was illegal. Palmer has said he relied on his professional guides to ensure the lion hunt was lawful.

Zimbabwe is seeking Palmer’s ex-tradition.

Last fall, when Martin Meltzer cal-culated that 1.4 million people might contract Ebola in West Africa, the world paid attention. This was, he said, a worst-case scenario. But Meltzer is the most famous disease modeler for the nation’s pre-eminent public health agency, the Centers for Disease Con-trol and Prevention. His estimate was promoted at high-level international meetings. It rallied nations to step up their efforts to fight the disease.

But the estimate proved to be off. Way, way off. Like, 65 times worse than what ended up happening. Some were not surprised. Meltzer has a lot of crit-ics who say he and his CDC colleagues have a habit of wilfully ignoring the complexities of disease outbreaks, re-sulting in estimates that over-drama-tize how bad an outbreak could get — estimates that may be skewed by politics. They say Meltzer and company also overestimate how much vaccine is needed and how beneficial it has been. Overblown estimates can result in unnecessary government spending, they say, and may further erode trust in an agency that recently has seen its sterling reputation decline.

“Once we cry wolf, and our dire pre-dictions turn out not to be the case, people lose confidence in public health,” said Aaron King, a University of Michigan researcher who in a recent journal article took Meltzer and oth-ers to task for making what he called avoidable mistakes.

Meltzer, 56, is unbowed. “I am not sorry,” he said.

He dismisses his peers’ more com-plicated calculations as out of touch with political necessities, telling a sto-ry about President Lyndon Johnson in the 1960s. Johnson was listening to an economist talk about the uncertainty in his forecast and the reason a range of estimates made more sense than one specific figure. Johnson was un-convinced.

“Ranges are for cattle,” Johnson said, according to legend. “Give me a number.”

Meltzer does not shy away from pro-viding a number.

What Meltzer does is not particular-ly glamorous. He and others use math-ematical calculations to try to provide a more precise picture of a certain situation, or to predict how the situa-tion will change. They write equations on chalkboards, have small meetings to debate which data to use, and sit at computers. Meltzer spends a lot of time with Excel spreadsheets.

But modelers have become critical in the world of infectious diseases.

Epidemics often have a “fog of war” aspect to them, in which it’s not clear exactly what just happened or what’s about to happen next. That’s true both of common infections and rare ones.

Take flu, for example.Each winter, flu is so common

that it’s impossible to test and con-firm every illness. It’s also difficult to determine every flu-related death — it’s often not clear flu was respon-sible for the demise of everyone who had flu-like symptoms when they died. So when the CDC cites an average of 24,000 flu-related deaths in the U.S. each year, that comes from modeling, not an actual count. Ebola is another example. CDC leaders came to Meltzer early last August, when the epidemic was spiraling out of control and inter-national health officials were quickly trying to build a response. Meltzer was asked to project how bad things could get if nothing was done, as well as to estimate how stepped-up aid could bend the curve of the epidemic. Meltzer and his colleagues created a spread-

sheet tool that projected uninterrupted exponential growth in two countries, Li-beria and Sierra Leone. His prediction — published last September — warned that West Africa could be on track to see 500,000 to 1.4 million Ebola cases within a few months if the world sat on its hands and let the epidemic blaze. About 21,000 cases materialized by mid-January — a terrible toll, to be sure, but also just a tiny fraction of the case-load Meltzer and his CDC colleagues warned about. Today, the epidemic is considered to be on its last legs. No modeler claims to be 100 per cent cor-rect. Indeed, modelers have a saying: “All models are wrong, but some are useful.”

They mean that a model’s mathemat-ics can be correct, but the resulting pre-dictions can still prove to be terrible if the wrong kinds of data are used or key assumptions are off. Unexpected in-tangibles, like a change in the weather, can also mess things up. (Of course the math can also be wrong — as in a bally-hooed 2004 CDC estimate of how many Americans die annually from obesity. It later proved to be over-inflated, with of-ficials blaming a computational error.)

During last year’s Ebola crisis, the World Health Organization made its own set of projections for the epidem-ic’s course, released at about the same time as the CDC’s. But the WHO chose to project cases only as far out as early November, saying 21,000 people could be infected in Guinea, Liberia and Si-erra Leone by then.

Also, the WHO decided not to make a key assumption Meltzer did — that Ebo-la cases were being under-reported by a factor of 2.5. Did Meltzer blow it? Many say no. He and his colleagues clearly stated they were providing a worst-case scenario of how bad things could get. They also predicted a far lower number of cases if more help was sent — which already was happening when the model estimates were released. But the worst-case figures got the most attention. The media focused on them in headlines. Health officials highlighted them in their push to get more money and man-power devoted to the epidemic. And interestingly, those are the numbers health officials describe as the most successful part of Meltzer’s prediction paper.

Dr. Tom Frieden, the CDC’s direc-tor, said the estimates were helpful in those difficult days of pushing for more action. But he disagrees with conten-tions that the agency was crying wolf. The agency was clear that the estimates were a worst-case scenario and prob-ably wouldn’t come true, he said. But “I don’t think it’s possible to have exag-gerated the risk the world faced in the fall.”

Columbia University’s Jeffrey Sha-man, a modeling leader, echoed the perception that existed when Meltzer was given his assignment. As far as Eb-ola epidemics go, “we’d never seen any-thing like this before. This thing looked like AIDS on steroids,” he said.

Meltzer was born in 1958 in Southern Rhodesia, a British colony in Africa — a white, Jewish boy growing up in a privileged enclave in a country that was 99 per cent black. Drafted into the military at 18, he went on reconnais-sance missions in the Zambezi valley during the later stages of a civil war that led to 1980 elections that brought independence and created the nation of Zimbabwe. His early scientific inter-est was in the health of animals, not humans. He earned a degree in agri-cultural economics in Zimbabwe, then wrote a doctoral dissertation at Cor-nell University on control of tick-borne diseases in African livestock. He was working on animal diseases at the Uni-versity of Florida when some work on rabies brought him to the attention of

CDC, which was recruiting economists to develop numbers for policy discus-sions. He joined the agency in 1995, when disease modelers were still a tiny group on the margins of public health.

Three factors were prodding more infectious disease modeling in the Unit-ed States:

● Advances in computers and mathe-matics enabled modelers to do increas-ingly sophisticated work.

● British scientists successfully used models to guide government decision making. Most notably, modelers influ-enced how the United Kingdom han-dled a devastating 2001 epidemic of

foot-and-mouth disease in animals. The epidemic was tamed by the end of that summer, after the slaughter of millions of animals.

● In the aftermath of 9-11, govern-ment officials pushed for greater prep-arations against bioterrorism and dis-ease disasters, and needed to know how much money they needed to bud-get. Haddix and Meltzer helped estab-lish a corps of dozens of economists at the CDC who performed such tasks as assessing the effect and cost of pre-vention programs. Their work became crucial when agency officials went to Congress for funding.

CHICAGO — Parents of picky eat-ers take heart: New research suggests the problem is rarely worth fretting over, although in a small portion of kids it may signal emotional troubles that should be checked out.

Preschool-aged children who are extremely selective about what they eat and dislike even being near cer-tain foods are more likely than others to have underlying anxiety or depres-sion, the study found. But only 3 per cent of young children studied were that picky.

Less severe pickiness, dubbed “moderate selected eating” in the study, was found in about 18 per cent of kids.

These are children who will only eat a narrow range of foods. Kids with either level of pickiness were almost two times more likely than others to develop anxiety symptoms within two years, the study found.

More typical pickiness, including kids who just refuse to eat their vege-tables, is probably merely “normal dis-like,” said eating disorders specialist Nancy Zucker, the lead author and an associate psychiatry professor at Duke University’s medical school. These are the kids who typically outgrow their pickiness as they mature.

Zucker said young children with moderate pickiness are probably more likely to outgrow the problem than the severe group, although more research

is needed to confirm that.The study was published Monday in

the journal Pediatrics.

Dr. Arthur Lavin, a Cleveland pe-diatrician said picky eating is among the top concerns parents bring to his

office, and that the study “helps us un-derstand who we should be concerned about.”

“There’s more going on here than just not wanting to eat broccoli,” said Lavin, a member of an American Acad-emy of Pediatrics committee on psy-cho-social issues. He was not involved in the research.

The study focused on about 900 chil-dren aged 2 through 5 who were re-cruited from primary care doctors af-filiated with Duke’s medical centre in Durham, North Carolina.

Researchers did in-home interviews with parents to evaluate kids’ eating habits and any mental health issues. Follow-up evaluations were done two years later in almost 200 children.

Compared with children who aren’t fussy eaters, depression and social anxiety were at least two times more common in kids with severe pickiness; attention deficit behaviour and sepa-ration anxiety symptoms were more common in moderately selective kids.

Severe selective eating described in the study is akin to a condition called avoidant/restrictive food intake disor-der, added in 2013 to the latest edition of a widely used psychiatric manual, the study authors said.

It can occur in all ages; some of those affected are extra-sensitive to food tastes, smells and textures.

Zucker said severe pickiness may be the first clue for parents that a child is experiencing anxiety or depression and that they may want to seek help from a mental-health specialist.

Maybe some Virginia lawmakers have watched too many episodes of Breaking Bad.

Home buyers in Virginia now have one more request they can make of sellers: to disclose whether the proper-ty has ever been used to manufacture methamphetamine, and, if so, whether the property has been appropriately cleaned up.

“So far I haven’t come across any-one who has actually used this new meth lab disclosure form, but it [went] into effect July 1, and we’ll have to see if anyone makes an offer contingent on a promise to clean up a drug lab,” said Morgan Knull, an associate broker with Re/Max Gateway in Washington.

Ned Rich, managing broker of McE-nearney Associates in Washington, said in the white-hot Washington-area market, most buyers are eliminating as many contingencies as possible on their contracts. In some cases, it’s the sellers who add contingencies to their counteroffers.

“At least in the city, it’s somewhat common to have a contract without even a finance, appraisal or termite contingency,” Rich said. “Some sellers ask for a contract contingency of their own — to live in their home rent-free after settlement for a certain period of time.”

Homeowners often prefer to sell first and then find a home to buy so they don’t have to make an offer con-tingent on the sale of their home, said Kris Paolini, a real estate agent with Redfin brokerage in Rockville, Md. He recommends that buyers offer a free rent-back of a month or two to make their offer stand out above the compe-tition.

Rich said that some buyers try to avoid competition with other buyers by making an early offer that’s valid for only 24 hours.

“In one case, the sellers said they would review offers on a Tuesday, [but] the buyers made an offer the previ-ous Saturday for $100,000 over the list price with the contingency that it had to be accepted that day,” Rich said. “They got the house, but sometimes if the offer is for full price or a smaller amount over the list price that tech-nique doesn’t work.”

Knull said some buyer’s agents are offering what they call a “signing bo-nus” of $10,000 or $20,000 to sellers contingent on their accepting an offer within 12 to 24 hours, which psycholog-ically pushes sellers to make a quick decision.

A quirkier contingency involves a version of the movie Ghostbusters. In fact, the Maryland Association of Real-tors said that written disclosure of the existence or the belief in the existence of a ghost in a property, while not le-gally required, is “recommended.”

“I’m working with buyers who want to buy a renovated house that was built in 1868, and one of the buyers’ father joked about whether it came with a ghost,” said Kate Hurley Christofides, an agent with Century 21 New Millen-nium in McLean, Va. “The buyers actu-ally asked me to reach out to the sell-ers and the listing agent to ask about it, and then the home inspector asked for additional information prior to the inspection about whether there was a ghost in the attic.”

You can also find out if someone died in a house by visiting Diedin-House.com, where, for a small fee, you can enter an address and find out about deaths that occurred in the property, fire-related incidents and yes, even whether a meth lab was ever found there. Contract contingencies can be requested by either the buyers or the sellers, but that doesn’t neces-sarily mean the contingency will be accepted.

“There’s a big difference between proposing an addendum to a contract and accepting it,” said Eldad Moraru, a realty agent with Long & Foster Real Estate in Bethesda, Md. “Sometimes you can’t actually write an addendum to a contract but you can do a’de fac-to’ contingency. For instance, some buyers with little kids wanted to make sure there were kids of similar age in the neighborhood so they could grow up together. The buyers couldn’t put that concern in the contract, but they knocked on all the doors around the block to meet all the neighbors and de-cided there were enough kids before they wrote the offer.”

Atieno “Ati” Okelo Williams, owner of DC Home Buzz, a real estate agency in Washington, said she worked with buyers who accepted a counteroffer from the sellers who decided that none of the Japanese maple trees on their property would convey with the prop-erty. The sellers uprooted three trees to transplant them to their new home.

One of Williams’ buyers made an of-fer on a condo in Washington’s Colum-bia Heights contingent on an evalua-tion by a feng shui specialist to deter-mine whether the home had the right energy, although the buyer waived the standard home inspection. The sellers agreed, and the feng shui specialist gave the green light to the transaction.

A more common contingency, typi-cally acceptable in a slower housing market or on a home that has lacked offers, is for the buyers to make their contract contingent on the sale of their current home.

“If the sellers and their agent have an idea of whether the buyers’ home will sell quickly or not, that might make them willing to accept a sale-of-home contingency, but I had one case when the buyers made their offer contingent on the sale of their home in Lithuania,” Knull said. “That offer didn’t get accepted because no one knew anything about the Lithuanian

housing market and what it would take to get that property sold. Eventually, those buyers just sold their home first to avoid the issue.”

Sometimes, buyers are willing to overlook the quirks of a listing in or-der to become homeowners. Chris Fries, an agent with McEnearney As-sociates in Arlington, Va., said he re-cently represented first-time buyers looking at a condo with a listing that read “two storage bins included in the sales price.”

“They were excited that the place had storage for homeowners, but when we asked to see the storage room we were directed to the laundry room, where there were two of those stan-dard-size Rubbermaid bins with lids,” Fries said. “We thought that was pretty creative of the sellers, but the market is so hot that the buyers were happy just to get the condo.”

Storage issues and personal posses-sions often crop up in the midst of con-tract negotiations. Vanessa Bailey, an agent with Redfin in Maryland’s Anne Arundel County said when she notices that sellers have a lot of belongings they may not want to move or when she knows they are downsizing, she recom-mends that her buyers offer to ease the situation.

“I tell my buyers to offer to let the sellers leave their unwanted belong-ings behind and ask the buyers to take care of removing them or possibly keeping anything they want,” Bailey said.

Sometimes, sellers want to remove property such as a chandelier, which, unless it’s written into the contract, will convey to the buyers because all

attached items are considered part of the home.

“If the sellers want to keep some-thing, it’s really best to take it down before the house goes on the market,” Moraru said. “I’ve also had buyers who wanted to buy the sellers’ furni-ture, but it’s important to decouple that from the contract and arrange this with a completely separate bill of sale. Lenders typically won’t let personal property be part of the contract; only real property can be part of the financ-ing arrangements.”

Sometimes, even the family pet be-comes part of contract contingencies. Christofides worked with buyers who were looking at a property in Virginia, where the sellers had an elderly dog.

“The sellers wanted the buyers to adopt their dog because they thought it was more important for the dog to stay in the house than with them,” she said. “They wanted the dog to be able to die in its old home. The sellers didn’t actually write this into the listing; they just had their listing agent tell buyers that if they like the house they need to know the dog comes with it.”

Knull said he has seen contracts for condos with a “pet approval” clause written in, with the contract contin-gent on the buyers’ dog or cat being approved by the condo board. He said it would be better to check on a pet approval before an offer is made if possible.

“I’ve also seen a contract contingent on a job offer,” Knull said. “The buyer had a verbal job offer but not a written one yet. Deciding whether to accept that offer depends on the credibility of the buyers.”

From ghosts to old dogs: The weird world of home-sale clauses

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HELENA, Mont. — Two young Orthodox rabbis have traded their studies in Brooklyn for the back roads of Montana, where they are teaching the far-flung faithful how to keep kosher in Big Sky Country.

Eli Chaikin, 23 , and Dovid Lepkivker, 25, call themselves the roving rabbis.

Their mission is to reach as many of the state’s approximately 3,000 Jews as they can in a month.

Their message is a gentle one — more of a nudge than a push — in what are at best loosely organized Jewish communities where relatively few people strictly follow the dietary laws.

“Any step you take is a positive step,” Chaikin said. “It’s not all or nothing.”

Chaikin and Lepkivker are affiliated with Chabad-Lubavich movement. Chabad’s Bozeman-based rabbi, Chaim Bruk, said he invited them to help him honour the 40th anniversary of a worldwide campaign to promote observance of the kosher laws by the influential Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, known by his followers as the Rebbe.

“We’re celebrating a 40-year milestone when the Rebbe started this idea,” Bruk said.

“I decided to rock Montana with that.”

The roving rabbis have visited more than 60 homes in Montana since July 7, many of them cold-calls to people they had only learned about by asking around town or from someone the next town over.

On a recent visit to Helena, they sat in Beth Pagel’s living room as she told them about the traditional meals and snacks she prepares for her grandson’s classmates on Jewish holidays.

She said she hasn’t made many Jewish friends since moving to Montana’s capital city from Florida seven years ago, but she was delighted to find two doctors in town who are Jewish.

Pagel readily offered that she is not kosher but told them that she knows the rules: “I’m not going to offer you a cheeseburger,” she said.

The rabbis were polite, never disagreeing with their host, but they kept on message.

“I would venture to say you’re much more kosher than you think,” Lepkivker said.

The rabbis handed her a pamphlet on keeping kosher and pointed out the listing of all the certification symbols found on food products.

They ventured into the kitchen, where the rabbis scrutinized everything, the spices, bread, wine and the canned goods.

Then they delivered their request:

Just change one non-kosher brand she regularly buys to a kosher one.

Pagel nodded agreeably, but later shook her head no when a reporter asked if she would change anything as a result of the rabbis’ visit.

Chaikin and Lepkivker said they aren’t discouraged when their message seems to fall on deaf ears.

After all, change doesn’t come over-night, Lepkivker said.

After another home visit, the rab-bis headed to a grocery store to meet a family for a lesson in kosher shopping.

Karen Semple greeted the rabbis with two grandchildren in tow, 12-year-

old Ashlie Weitner and her infant brother Levi. Semple told them Ashlie moved to Montana earlier this year and was eager to learn how to keep ko-sher in her new home.

The group walked aisle by aisle, as the rabbis pulled products to point out all the different labels.

“Dairy’s going to be a little bit com-plicated.” Chaikin said.

“All the meat is going to be a prob-lem,” he said in another section.

Then they made a good discovery. “Here’s our kosher ice cream,” he said, holding up a container of Breyer’s va-nilla.

At the end of the half-hour tour, Lepkivker drove the lesson home. “How much did we see here that wasn’t kosher, except for regular dairy and meat?”

Chaikin answered for him: “Prob-ably 80 per cent of what we saw is OK.”

They said their goodbyes, and Chai-kin and Lepkivker climbed back into their sport-utility vehicle with freshly pressed spare white shirts and black trousers in the back seat, ready for their next destination: Montana’s farm-ing communities and American Indian reservations near the Canadian bor-der.

Style guru found deadBY THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Design personality Chris Hyndman, one half of the lively duo from CBC-TV’s lifestyle series Ste-ven and Chris, has died.

CBC reported that Hyndman’s body was found without vital signs late Mon-day in an alleyway just east of Toron-to’s downtown core. He was 49.

A Toronto Police spokeswoman would not confirm the report, citing privacy concerns and the fact there was no ongoing criminal investigation.

A CBC spokesman confirmed ear-lier Tuesday that Hyndman had died but provided no other details.

The gregarious style guru rose to fame alongside fellow designer Ste-ven Sabados — Hyndman’s partner onscreen and off — in a series of TV shows that featured the couple’s chem-istry and affectionate rapport.

In addition to CBC’s Steven and Chris, that included HGTV’s Designer Guys and Design Rivals and the Slice makeover program So Chic with Steven and Chris.

News of Hyndman’s sudden passing drew condolences from several famous colleagues, including fellow design couple Colin McAllister and Justin Ry-an who took to social media to express their sorrow.

“We are so saddened to hear of the passing of Chris Hyndman,” the Scot-tish decorators posted on Facebook.

“Our deepest sympathies to Steven at this heart breaking time. And our condolences to Chris and Steven’s fam-ilies and friends.”

CBC colleagues including Murdoch Mysteries star Yannick Bisson and com-ic Rick Mercer of Rick Mercer Report

also weighed in online.“So very sad to hear of the pass-

ing of Chris Hyndman. He was always laughing, always smiling. A great New-foundland character,” Mercer tweeted.

Hyndman often played the joker, while the more straitlaced Sabados played up a calm and pragmatic de-meanour.

In 2007, they launched their own

line of furniture, textiles, decora-tive accessories and area rugs. They launched their own talk show in Janu-ary 2008, focusing on home decor, en-tertaining and fashion.

Designer Guys creator and executive producer Mary Darling described the duo as “two wings of a bird.”

“What made the pair, I would say, is the fact that their love and respect for each other was something that was actually able to come through the screen,” said Darling, reached Tues-day in Fairbanks, Alaska.

“So when they disagreed on some way about some design, it was always respectful, there was nothing catty about it.”

Darling credited their charming banter with helping to usher in a wave of other similarly cast design shows, in which an odd couple pair of hosts hashed out design ideas.

“From a design show aspect it just broke all the boundaries when we did Designer Guys. It was a completely new thing on the scene,” she said.

“They’re the perfect complement.... Steven was very grounded and knew what he thought and Chris presented all kinds of options around him.”

Condolences also poured in from Shaw Media, which hosted several of the duo’s shows on HGTV and Slice.

“He was a wonderful and talented man and will be greatly missed,” said Christine Shipton, chief creative of-ficer at Shaw Media, HGTV’s parent company.

“Our sympathies go out to his fam-ily, friends and colleagues.”

Willis, Stewart among cast for Woody Allen’s next film

NEW YORK — Bruce Willis, Kristen Stewart and Blake Lively are among the stars of Woody Allen’s next film.

Allen announced the cast for his latest film Tuesday. The not-yet-titled movie will begin shooting this month in New York and Los Angeles.

As he typically does, Allen an-nounced the cast in alphabetical order and revealed no plot details.

Parker Posey co-starred in Allen’s last film, Irrational Man,” and will be in this next one, too. Also starring are Jesse Eisenberg, Jeannie Berlin, Corey Stoll and Ken Stott.

In the three weeks since it was re-leased, Irrational Man has made $1.1 million in North American theatres.

Former One Direction member Zayn Malik, Perrie

Edwards of Little Mix call off engagement

NEW YORK — Former One Direc-tion member Zayn Malik and singer Perrie Edwards have called off their engagement.

A representative for Malik on Tues-day confirmed that the couple ended their engagement. No more details were provided.

Both Malik and Edwards are 22. The singers got engaged in 2013.

Edwards is one of four singers in the girl group Little Mix. Like One Di-rection, Little Mix formed on the U.K. version of The X Factor. The girls won the competition in 2011.

Malik left One Direction earlier this year to launch a solo career. He announced last week that he signed a recording contract to release music as a solo artist.

INBRIEF

Hollywood delves into troubled minds

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES — The 1941 film The Wolf Man presents Larry Talbot’s trans-formation from man to wolf as a form of schizophrenia. So little was known about mental illnesses then, the expla-nation may have seemed plausible.

Hollywood has come a long way since portraying someone with mental illness as a monster, instead bring-ing characters to the big screen whose mental struggles look more like the ones experienced by many people in everyday life.

The industry’s more realistic ap-proach to such conditions is on abun-dant display this summer. At least half a dozen recent releases reflect nuanced characters, both real and fic-tional, facing mental illness.

Among the conditions onscreen this season are personality disorder (Wel-come to Me), bipolar disorder (Infinitely Polar Bear What Happened, Miss Simo-ne?), schizoaffective disorder (Love & Mercy), addiction and eating disorders (Amy), and major depression (I Smile Back, The End of the Tour).

Movies have a formative effect on popular concepts of mental illness in our culture, said psychiatry professor Danny Wedding, co-author of Movies & Mental Illness: Using Films to Under-stand Psychopathology, making accura-cy and empathy especially important.

“Films will reach millions of people who will never read a psychology text-book or who will never be in therapy,” he said. “And often times people who don’t read books do go to movies, so I think films have tremendous potential for shaping public attitudes to mental illness.”

Realistic presentations of people with mood or behaviour issues can help promote understanding and ease stigma for real sufferers, who are plen-tiful. One in four adults experiences mental illness in any given year and one in 17 lives with a serious condition

such as schizophrenia or bipolar disor-der, according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness.

While personal interaction is the most effective way to eradicate stereo-types about people with mental illness-es, NAMI spokesman Bob Carolla said “movies can be surrogates for personal contact.” The organization consults with filmmakers about accuracy and promotes productions that get it right.

Sympathetic portrayals can also be reassuring for sufferers and their fami-lies, providing an explanation for some behaviours, said I Smile Back author and screenwriter Amy Koppelman.

“These mood disorders are real, as real as diabetes,” she said, “and there’s this validation we can have” in seeing them depicted authentically on-screen.

Actor Jason Segel embraced that notion in The End of the Tour, in which he portrays author David Foster Wal-lace, who took his life at age 46 after decades battling depression.

“The primary thing that’s really im-portant, depression, addiction, any of these subjects that we cover ... the most important thing is that it’s real,” Segel said. “And any sort of view that you

can toughen up or feel your way out of this or why don’t you just change your outlook, it’s important to realize on a visceral level that this is a real, all-encompassing feeling.”

Fair depictions of mood disorders help normalize these common mala-dies, said Dacher Keltner, a psychol-ogy professor at University of Califor-nia, Berkeley.

“When we stigmatize and suppress and reject and exclude people who are going through tough times, the condi-tions only worsen,” he said. “One of the real powerful pathways to adapta-tion is to embrace it. ... And that’s what these movies do: They say, ’This is part of the human condition.”’

Cinematic images of people with mental illnesses can also balance those created by news reports, where those who make headlines are often violent.

“The reality is people with mental illness are much more likely to be vic-tims of violence than perpetrators of violence,” Wedding said.

Experiences of mental illness aren’t necessarily tragic, and Hollywood loves a story of triumph. Consider Geof-frey Rush as pianist David Helfgott overcoming schizophrenia in Shine, or Russell Crowe doing the same as John Nash in A Beautiful Mind. Bradley Cooper’s bipolar character ultimately finds love in Silver Linings Playbook, and Brian Wilson finds himself in Love & Mercy.

“A lot of people with mental illness often have stories of perseverance and courage,” Carolla said. “They are dra-matic stories, and real stories. And they often are not just about the John Nashes, but also relatively ordinary people.”

The spate of recent releases is a good sign, he said: “It’s a reflection of the fact that there’s a growing aware-ness in the country around mental health conditions of one kind or an-other, and there’s a greater openness among people to discuss them.”

MATTHEWAnna Doreen Matthew (Dode) passed away with family on July 9th with no pain or discomfort after a courageous two year battle with liver cancer. Mom was born in Kelvington Saskatchewan to Sam and Myrtle Hall on June 29th, 1928. She attended school in Kelvington until continuing her education at the University of Saskatchewan in the fi eld of Medical Laboratory Technology. She moved to Calgary in 1951 and worked in the Laboratory at the Colonel Belcher and Holy

Cross Hospital. Mom met the love of her life Alfred Clive Matthew and they were married in 1955. They moved to Red Deer in 1958 and Mom worked for two years at the Red Deer Regional Hospital before retiring in 1960 to raise a family. In 1976 she went back to work part time with Dr Kasper and Associates until retiring in 1993. Mom and Dad enjoyed living on Sylvan Lake and travelling the world with many dear friends. They had a rich life and a wonderful retirement. Predeceased by her parents Sam and Myrtle Hall, Bothers Ken and Merv Hall and her loving and dear husband Clive (2008). She is survived by her three children Jill (Kevin), Doug (Pam), Glen (Angie) and her grandchildren Jesse (Keitha), Janine (Andrew), Janessa (Matt), Julia (Tallin), Kallie and Kyler. On July 4th weekend most of the family was able to gather at Mom’s residence for a surprise 87th birthday celebration and then a reenactment of the wedding that she was unable to attend of her fi rst grandchild to marry. It was an amazing weekend. Mom was dressed to the nine, beaming, and able to pose for pictures. As a family nothing was left unsaid. We, as well as close friends, are thankful for the time shared visiting her by phone or in person and feel it helped us fi nd peace and closure before her passing. There will be a celebration of Mom’s life on September 12th from 2:00pm to 5:00pm at her residence(183Birchcliff Road, Birchcliff). In lieu of fl owers donations to Canadian Cancer Society would be appreciated. Special thanks to Red Deer Exhaust and Automotive Parts DIstributors for the fl exibility to allow family to care for Mom as required. Many hugs of appreciation to staff, doctors and nurses at the Red Deer Regional Hospital, the Villa Marie Covenant Care, Retire at Home, and the Sylvan Family Health Centre. Mom enjoyed golf and was especially proud of her two hole in ones. She enjoyed entertaining with friends and loved having her family near. Mom was sharp and quick witted to the end and loved to tease and be teased in a playful loving matter. Mom shared many truths about life through reciting of poems, quips and popular sayings...they became known as Doreenisms. Mom’s fi ght is now over. She is back with Dad. We are thankful to all who shared their time. Mom remains in our hearts and memories and is with us in spirit.

I AM WITH YOU STILL I give you this one thought to keep I am with you still...do not weep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn’s rain

When you awaken in the morning’s hush, I am the swift uplifting rush

Of quiet birds in circled fl ight. I am the soft stars that shine at night.

Do not think of me as gone.... I am with you still...in each new dawn.

WELLINGTON, New Zealand — If a wing fragment found in the western Indian Ocean turns out to be part of missing Flight 370, experts say, there are probably other pieces of the air-craft that floated off rather than sink-ing to the bottom of the ocean. Finding them remains the hard part.

John Page, an aircraft design expert at the University of New South Wales in Australia, said the discovery of the fragment last week on Reunion Island leads him to conclude the missing Boe-ing 777 broke up, most likely when it hit the water nearly 17 months ago.

He said that while the main body of the plane is likely to have sunk, he thinks other small, lightweight parts at-tached to the wings and tail may have floated free and could still be afloat — pieces like the flaps, elevators, aile-rons and rudders.

“I’m certain other bits floated,” he said.

“But whether they’ve washed up anywhere is another question. The chances of hitting an island are pretty low.”

He said there’s plenty of trash in the ocean, and even if somebody sailing past spotted something in the water, he or she may have no clue it was from

the plane.The discovery of the fragment,

which has been taken to France, could be a significant development in one of aviation’s greatest mysteries. Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 vanished in March 2014 while flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people aboard.

Air safety investigators have identi-fied the component as a flaperon from a 777. French and Malaysian investiga-tors will begin examining the piece Wednesday to make sure that assess-ment is correct.

They will try to confirm the flaper-on is from Flight 370 and gather clues about what happened to the plane. Flight 370 is the only missing 777.

Authorities believe the plane most likely crashed offshore from Australia in the east Indian Ocean.

Oceanographers say it’s feasible the wing fragment floated thousands of kilometres (miles) in a counterclock-wise direction across the ocean before washing ashore.

Malaysian authorities said this week they’ll seek help from territories near Reunion Island to search for more de-bris.

Page said the heaviest parts of the

plane, like the engines, would sink im-mediately, while other parts might get spread out by the currents before sink-ing, forming a triangular-shaped de-bris field on the ocean floor.

He said flight-control surfaces on the wings and tail would be most likely to break off and float because they are essentially carbon-fiber skins filled with air, making them strong but light-weight.

They’re also designed to be water-proof, so moisture doesn’t enter them and freeze during flight.

“What makes aircraft work are their light structures,” he said.

Depending on how the aircraft broke up, Page said, it’s possible other pieces could float.

Those could include plastic and fi-berglass trim, door panels, even per-sonal belongings or luggage.

Mark Tuttle, a professor in mechani-cal engineering at the University of Washington, said in an email that all structural materials used in transport aircraft are heavy enough they will sink in saltwater

. He said the only time they will float, as he suspects is the case with the flaperon, is when a design feature like air trapped inside causes them to remain buoyant.

Geoff Dell, an air safety investiga-tion expert and associate professor at

Australia’s Central Queensland Uni-versity, said he, too, would expect the parts most likely to break free and float would be the flight-control sur-faces. Many are attached to the plane only with hinges.

He said the amount of floating de-bris would be determined by the way the plane hit the water, which remains unknown.

He said if it hit in an uncontrolled manner and at a high speed, the plane would likely break up more, allowing more debris to float.

A more controlled landing, on the other hand, could result in more of the plane remaining intact and sinking, he said.

Dell said some parts of the plane that might initially float, such as a seat that broke free from the fuselage, could become degraded and saturated over time and eventually sink.

Michael Smart, a professor of aero-space engineering at the University of Queensland, said there was some rea-son for hope in the search.

“If one piece turns up, perhaps there’s a likelihood that others will as well,” he said.

“It’s strange to think you’d find one part that floated and nothing else.”

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

JERUSALEM — Israeli authorities kicked off a promised crackdown on Jewish extremists following last week’s deadly arson attack on a Palestinian family, arresting a high-profile activist accused of leading a new movement of defiant settler youths who embrace vi-olence and reject the rule of law in the name of the purity of the Holy Land.

Meir Ettinger, whose arrest Monday was extended in court Tuesday, is the grandson of U.S.-born Rabbi Meir Ka-hane, Israel’s most notorious Jewish extremist, whose ultranationalist party was banned from Israel’s parliament for its racist views in 1988 and who was killed by an Arab gunman in New York in 1990.

According to the Shin Bet security agency, the 23-year-old Ettinger was arrested for “involvement in an ex-tremist Jewish organization.”

The agency would not say if he is also suspected in the July 31 arson attack, but it has accused Ettinger of heading an extremist movement seek-ing to bring about religious “redemp-tion” through attacks on Christian sites and Palestinian homes.

Ettinger, in a large skullcap, scruffy beard and sidelocks, smiled at the swarm of news crews before his hear-ing. In a July 30 blog post before his ar-rest, he denied the Shin Bet’s accusa-tion that he leads an extremist group.

“There is no terror organization, but there are many, many Jews, many more than people think, whose value system is completely different than that of the Israeli Supreme Court or the Shin Bet,” Ettinger wrote.

“The laws they are bound by are not the State’s laws ... but laws that are much more eternal and real.”

Prime Minister Benjamin Netan-yahu has pledged “zero tolerance” for Jewish terrorism following two deadly attacks by extremists.

The attack that killed 18-month-old Ali Dawabsheh and severely injured his parents and 4-year-old brother in the West Bank came a day after an anti-gay ultra-Orthodox man stabbed a 16-year-old Israeli girl during a ram-page against marc

hers at Jerusalem’s gay pride pa-rade. The girl later died of her wounds.

Authorities are expected to crack down much harder on suspected Jew-ish extremist cells, particularly among West Bank settler youths.

Wildfire jumps highway

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CLEAR LAKE, Calif. — As fire-fighters battled a massive California wildfire threatening numerous homes, some of the 13,000 people urged to flee their residences spent what may be just one of many nights in evacuation shelters.

The blaze grew to more than 100 square miles (160 square kilometres) Tuesday as it chewed through drought-withered brush that has not burned in years in the Lower Lake area, about 100 miles north of San Francisco.

More than 3,000 firefighters tried to stand their ground against the fire that jumped a highway that had served as a containment line and grew by several square miles despite cooler weather and higher humidity. Its rapid growth caught firefighters off guard and shocked residents.

Cooler weather Tuesday is help-ing crews build a buffer between the flames and some of the 6,900 homes it threatens. Despite the fire’s growth, no additional homes were consumed out-side the two dozen already destroyed.

More than 13,000 people have been forced to evacuate or warned to leave since the blaze ignited Wednesday.

Crews have conducted controlled burns, setting fire to shrubs to rob the blaze of fuel and protect homes in a ru-ral area of grasslands and steep hills. Nearly a week into the fight, fatigue has set in for crews, leading resources

from in and out of state to rotate in.Many people are aiding evacuees,

handing out items such as pillows, ap-ples and piles of French toast.

The fire — the largest blaze in California — roughly tripled in size over the weekend, generating its own winds that fanned the flames and re-duced thousands of acres of manzanita shrubs and other brush to barren land in hours.

The White House said President Ba-rack Obama was briefed on the fire and has asked his aides to stay in close touch with California Gov. Jerry Brown and other local officials.

Numerous other wildfires in Cali-fornia, Washington state and Oregon took off as the effects of drought and summer heat turned the West Coast combustible.

California blazes killed a firefight-

er last week and injured four others. Crews battled at least 20 other wild-fires in the state — some sparked by lightning — though none as big as the Lower Lake blaze.

The fire is well short of historic pro-portions, however. One of the largest wildfires in California history was a 2013 blaze that took out 400 square miles (1,000 sq. kilometres) of Sierra Nevada wilderness.

Officials probe US circus tent collapse that killed

father, daughter; 32 injuredLANCASTER, N.H. — Fire officials

said Tuesday it’s not clear why a cir-cus operator in eastern United States proceeded with a show minutes after the National Weather Service put out a severe storm warning. Strong winds collapsed the circus tent, killing two spectators and sending about 32 others to hospitals.

New Hampshire’s fire marshal Bill Degnan said it’s the responsibility of the circus operator to monitor the weather. The show started seven min-utes after the storm warning Monday afternoon some 90 miles (145 kilome-tres) north of the state capital Concord. The storm blew through with about 100 people inside the tent.

“I see these very large metal poles that are in the ground and go through the top of the tent; I see them starting to come out of the ground and fly up, into the air toward us,” witness Heidi Medeiros, attending with her 3-year-old son, told a local TV station. She

said 10 to 30 seconds later, the pole slammed onto the bleacher where she and her son had been sitting.

Degnan also said Tuesday no re-quest was made to state or local offi-cials for an inspection of the tent and it was unclear whether authorities were been notified of the show. Deg-nan said these questions would be part of the state’s investigation, as well as the tent’s setup, and a building and fire code assessment.

Obama, Netanyahu make dueling appeals to U.S. Jews

on Iranian nuclear dealWASHINGTON — President Barack

Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are making duel-ing appeals to the American Jewish community as they seek to rally sup-port for their opposing positions on the Iranian nuclear deal.

Netanyahu made his case in a live webcast with more than 10,000 par-ticipants, according to the U.S. Jew-ish groups that organized the event. The prime minister railed against the agreement to curb Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for billions of dollars in sanctions relief, calling it a “bad deal” that leaves Tehran on the brink of a bomb.

Obama will hold a private meeting at the White House later Tuesday with Jewish leaders.

Taliban official resigns over succession dispute

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KABUL — A senior Taliban figure resigned Tuesday in the latest fall-out from the death of longtime leader Mullah Mohammad Omar, which has triggered a succession dispute and re-vealed growing rifts within the two-decade-old Afghan insurgent group.

Mohammad Tayab Agha, head of the Taliban’s political office, said in a statement that the movement had made a “historic mistake” by conceal-ing Mullah Omar’s death and by choos-ing his successor outside of Afghani-stan. The Taliban confirmed Mullah Omar’s death last week after Afghan authorities said he had died in a Paki-stani hospital more than two years ago.

Mullah Akhtar Mansoor, who had served as Mullah Omar’s deputy, was chosen to succeed him by the group’s seven-member Supreme Council, meet-ing in the Pakistani city of Quetta. Mul-lah Omar’s relatives have rejected the decision, saying the new leader was chosen by a small clique of loyalists, and called for a wider vote.

Agha’s statement, which was con-firmed by a current and a former mem-ber of the Taliban, appeared to reflect growing anger at Pakistan, which has long had influence over the group and played a key role in bringing them to the first round of official peace talks last month.

The Taliban are believed to be split over whether to pursue the negotia-tions or continue their 14-year insur-gency now that U.S. and NATO troops have transitioned to a supporting role. The peace talks were indefinitely post-poned after the announcement of Mul-lah Omar’s death.

Agha said the “appointment of every leader which has taken place outside the country has brought very bad re-percussions for the oppressed Afghan

nation.” He urged Taliban members living abroad to return to Afghanistan and “preserve their independence,” an apparent reference to Pakistan, where the Taliban’s leadership has long been based.

His resignation was confirmed by Waheed Muzhda, who was an official in the Taliban government in the 1990s. Agha was based in Qatar, where the Taliban has an unofficial office. Mu-zhda said at least one other member of the office had also resigned.

Around 200 high-ranking Taliban members meanwhile met in the Paki-stani city of Quetta on Tuesday with Mullah Omar’s brother and son, said Mullah Hameedullah, a member of the Taliban’s Unity Council, which works to resolve internal disputes.

“We discussed the problems of both sides and in the end Mullah Omar’s family gave authority to the Unity Council that whatever decision they take they will agree to it and accept it,” Mullah Hameedullah told The As-sociated Press. He said the council would next meet with Mullah Mansoor. Mullah Omar’s son, Mullah Yaqub, confirmed he had attended the meet-ing but gave no further details.

The Taliban, meanwhile, issued an-other statement Tuesday urging follow-ers to disregard “enemy propaganda” about internal fractures and to unite behind Mullah Mansoor. The state-ment, signed by spokesmen Zabihul-lah Mujahid and Qari Yusouf Ahmadi, called on supporters to “help write messages and letters on social media” to show a united front.

The succession dispute has raised concerns that the Taliban could splin-ter, complicating any peace efforts, or that powerful field commanders could defect to the Islamic State group, which has a small but growing pres-ence in Afghanistan.

Pro-government troops take key baseBY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANAA, Yemen — Yemen’s pro-government troops fought pockets of resistance outside a key military base in the country’s south Tuesday, a day after they seized it from Shiite rebels, military officials said.

The capture of the Al-Anad base — once the site of U.S. intelligence operations against al-Qaida’s powerful Yemeni affiliate — was a significant victory for the forces allied to Yemen’s exiled President Abed Rabbo Man-sour Hadi in their battle to reverse the gains of the rebels known as Houthis.

The base was taken by the rebels when the conflict intensified in the spring and was their main encamp-ment in the country’s south. The pro-government forces took 45 prisoners in the battle for the base and were marching north toward another rebel-

held military base called Labouza — the largest in the south, the military officials said.

As Al-Anad fell, rebel fighters fled to the nearby hills, the officials added. Yemen’s Defence Ministry announced the “liberation of Al-Anad military base” in a statement late Monday, thanking the Saudi-led coalition that has been targeting the Houthis in an air campaign since March.

Ministry officials and military lead-ers from Hadi’s government in exile in Saudi Arabia returned to the southern city of Aden last week and the state-ment was issued from there. In a state-ment carried by rebel-controlled news agency SABA late Monday, the rebels denied the base had been taken.

LIFESTYLE D6WEDNESDAY, AUG. 5, 2015

Dear Annie: Whenever I’m at my parents’ house and they have guests, they expect me to “perform.” I don’t mean playing the piano or tap dancing.

I mean they insist I “tell them that story you told me.”

Any story they select. I feel I’m being treated as some kind of circus freak.

This makes me very uncom-fortable, and they know it be-cause I’ve told them.

They always promise not to do it again, but then they always do.

They can be incredibly selfish.

My mother doesn’t want me to speak at family dinners, and lets my siblings bulldoze over everyone.

I hated this when I was a kid and still do. Now, whenever she tells people, “Tell them what

you told me,” I will say, “I think that story isn’t ap-propriate for now, if you know what I mean.”

Am I being unreasonable? Did I also mention that my parents interrogate me

about my job and then tell me I’m doing it all wrong?

We have fights about what I wear to work. The last time, they told me to wear a shirt and tie

to a job where I get my hands dirty. And they did it in front of my extended family. What do I do? —New Jersey SonDear New Jersey: You learn to accept your parents

as they are, and then set boundaries that will allow you to be less upset.

Your folks apparently think you are a terrific sto-ryteller, but you do not have to oblige.

When they ask you to relate something, it’s fine to say, “Not right now,” and then change the subject. A useful skill is to do so while being polite, even smil-ing.

Never lose your temper. Repeat as often as necessary and take your leave

if they won’t let up. Save your conversation for friends who appreciate

it instead of siblings who talk over everyone. Some parents are notorious for criticizing their children’s choices in everything.

Most children figure out how to evaluate what has merit and then ignore the rest, nodding politely in-stead of arguing.

We suggest you practice.Dear Annie: I would like to respond to “At a Loss

in Ohio,” whose brother died and she received no condolences from anyone in her boyfriend’s family,

including his children, nor any of his friends.Why would you give people who behave poorly a

pass by saying she should forgive them? She wasn’t asking them to mourn her brother, so

whether they knew him is irrelevant. She was looking for emotional support to help

soften the sharp edges of the pain. Isn’t that what family and friends do for each

other? Their indifference to her pain is inexcusable and

she owes them nothing more. She has every right to feel angry and resentful. —Call a Spade a Spade

Dear Call: We agree that these people behaved terribly and said so.

But finding forgiveness is for her, not them. She needs to let these people know how disap-

pointed she was in their lack of condolences, but she also needs to find a way to let it go or it will poison her relationship with her boyfriend.

We should not be so focused on holding onto hurt and anger that we lose track of the other things that matter.

German court: mechanic can have back pay for time spent changing, but

not for showersBERLIN — A German court says a municipal bus

mechanic can have hundreds of euros in back pay for time spent changing into his work clothes — but not for time he spent showering.

The state labour court in Duesseldorf said the man and the local transport authority in Oberhausen reached a settlement Monday that will see him get 375 euros ($412 USD) to cover the 10 minutes per day that he spent changing into and out of his uniform over a seven-month period last year.

The plaintiff also had sought to be paid for a daily 10 minutes spent in the shower after work, But the court questioned whether that could be counted as time on the job and also wondered “whether 10 min-utes is not too long for a shower.”
