Commonwealth Stadium faceli� now complete

When the Edmonton Es-kimos next take to the field at Commonwealth Stadium, there will be even more green and gold in the stands, as a massive seat replacement project is now complete.

The nearly $12-million initiative to replace the sta-dium’s 56,000 older seats with new green-and-gold ones wrapped up this week-end almost two months ahead of schedule.

“It has been quite a pro-ject and quite an endeavour, but with the right result — it is a brand new stadium,” Len Rhodes, Eskimos president and CEO, said on Sunday, as he helped install the final seats.

Rhodes said Common-wealth has always been a great stadium, but the seat upgrades were needed.

“They endured winters, summers, rain, sleet and hail, and I think they lasted longer than anyone would have anticipated, but it was time for an upgrade,” he said.

The $11.9-million re-placement was covered with $4 million from the city and an additional $7.9 million from a five per cent levy on tickets until the seats are paid off, which the city esti-mates will be about 10 years.

The city is also spending $1.9 million on dressing-room upgrades before the 2014 U-20 Women’s World Cup. The Jumbotron and sound system are also being replaced for about $5.3 mil-lion, and two of the parking lots are being repaved.

“City council has really committed to maintaining its infrastructure and being an iconic facility they have really invested in this sta-dium,” said Rob Smyth, act-ing general manager of com-munity services.

Smyth also gave consider-able credit to the contractors who came in well short of the deadline of Oct. 31 this year.

“They have just got bet-ter and better and they are really efficient, so it has come in a few months ahead of schedule,” he said.

These cats were reportedly photographed over the Canada Day long weekend in a cage at GuZoo near a food dish infested by maggots. METRO FILE

Whistleblower needed to launch GuZoo probe: Alta.

Provincial officials have re-viewed new footage and photos shot at Alberta’s con-troversial GuZoo roadside zoo depicting maggots in cat food and dead animal carcasses but would need a so-called “whistleblower” to step for-ward to pursue the matter any further.

Metro first made the im-

ages public in July after ob-taining them from the Coun-cil of Concerned Albertans for Animal Welfare and Public Safety (CCAAWPS), which has long been critical of the pri-vate attraction, located in Cen-tral Alberta near Three Hills.

The group said the ma-terial was gathered over the Canada Day long weekend by a whistleblower, a claim confirmed by GuZoo owner Lynn Gustafson, who said he’d called on the RCMP to inves-tigate what he believes was trespassing.

The video tours behind-the-scenes areas where birds and cats reside and food is stored and makes note of ap-parent filth and potential dan-gers associated with keeping animal carcasses on site.

But Brendan Cox, spokes-person for Alberta Justice, said the province would only dig deeper on whether GuZoo vio-lated standards if the whistle-blower comes forward.

“The difficulty around it is that we don’t know who took the videos and the pictures,” he said. “Without being able to speak to that person it makes it difficult to start an

investigation.”Sylvia Meier, a CCAAWPS

board member, said in an email Sunday her group doesn’t know the identity of the whistleblower, but doesn’t understand why a complainant must “expose their identity” to be taken seriously.

“We are also concerned that our government is now showing that they are unwill-ing to enforce their own regu-lations even when the proof is before them,” Meier said.

Alberta Fish and Wildlife inspectors visited GuZoo in the spring and found it was in compliance with provincial standards, Cox said.

Gustafson did not respond to requests for comment on Sunday.

GuZoo threat

RCMP have confi rmed they’re looking into three incidents at GuZoo dating back to May, including a bomb scare in July, but have declined to go into detail on the investigations.

Count them in. More candidates gearing up for fall voteThe races for city council and local school boards continue to fill out with nomination day a little more than a month away.

The crowded race continues to grow in Ward 5, where Al-lan Santos, a city employee, is joining a long list of hopefuls for the seat mayoral contender Karen Leibovici is vacating.

Purchasing agent and community league volunteer Ted Grand joined the race to replace Kim Krushell in Ward 2.

Better known as Can Man Dan, Dan Johnstone, who holds annual campouts to col-lect food bank donations, has announced his plans to seek a seat in Ward 10.

Kyle Brown added his name to the already crowded Ward 6 race. Brown works for the city and also volunteers with YESS and the Edmonton Pride Festival.

Current Ward I trustee Les-lie Cleary is looking to return to the public school board in her southeast ward.

Robert Agostinis has an-nounced his intention to seek the Ward H seat on the public board.

Roger Riashy is running in Ward 77 in the Catholic sys-tem for a trustee position. He comes to the race with several years of experience as teacher and vice-principal.

Riashy’s challenger will be current trustee Laura Thibert, who is seeking re-election for her second term. In addition to her trustee work, Thibert is the vice-president of the Meadows Community League board.

Larry Kowalczyk will seek another term as the Ward 72 trustee for the Edmonton Catholic School Board.

Michelle Davis has also announced her candidacy for Ward 73. RYAN TUMILTY/METRO

Two young boys laid to rest after being slain by pythonMandy Trecartin, back left, and Andrew Barthe follow the casket at the funeral for their sons Noah and Connor Barthe at St. Thomas Aquinas Roman Catholic Church in Campbellton, N.B., on Saturday. The two young boys were killed by a python while they slept in an apartment above an exotic pet store earlier in the week. Andrew VAughAn/The CAnAdiAn Press

The four horseback riders who encountered a California teen and her abductor said Sunday that they decided to contact police because the pair seemed out of place and ill-equipped for the Idaho wilderness.

Mark John said the man, who he later identified as the wanted James Lee DiMaggio, 40, wasn’t friendly and car-ried only a light pack. The girl, 16-year-old Hannah Anderson, was seemingly in pyjamas.

DiMaggio was killed by authorities on Saturday. He is suspected of killing Anderson’s mother and brother and ab-ducting the teenager.

FBI agents are processing evidence at the campsite in central Idaho’s Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness.

The mountainous area is extremely steep, and the clos-est point where the helicopters could drop the FBI Hostage Res-cue Team was more than a two-

hour hike away. The agents crept close to the camp, waited until DiMaggio and Hannah separated and then moved in.

The FBI won’t release details about what happened until an investigation is complete.

The case began when the charred bodies of Hannah’s mother and eight-year-old brother were found on Aug. 4 in DiMaggio’s burning house outside San Diego.The AssociATed Press

Accident kills experienced balloon pilot

An international hot-air balloon festival took a tra-gic turn on Sunday when a 26-year-old pilot died south-east of Montreal.

Maxime Trepanier had been taking part in the festiv-ities at the 30th edition of a popular festival in St-Jean-sur-Richelieu.

Marie-Claude Beauvais, a festival spokeswoman, said the accident happened in nearby Mont-St-Gregoire, perhaps while the hot-air bal-loon was landing.

Beauvais said Trepanier was an experienced pilot and had been involved with the festival since he was a boy.

“He was very close to the festival family,” said Beau-vais, visibly shaken as she ad-dressed reporters on Sunday.

Trepanier’s father was also a festival pilot.

Investigators were on the scene trying to determine what caused the accident, which happened at 7:30 in the morning, said police.

The festival began on Sat-urday and runs until Aug. 18.

Beauvais said events would continue through the week but hot-air balloons would remain grounded on Sunday night in tribute to Trepanier.

According to its website, the International Balloon Fes-tival of Saint-Jean-sur-Riche-lieu is “the biggest gathering of balloons in Canada,” draw-ing 450,000 visitors a year.

The Transportation Safety said it would send investiga-tors to look into the accident. The cAnAdiAn Press

This bra lifts, separates —and lights up

After five-and-a-half years working in electronics for the U.S. Navy, Nick Kneuper went to a music festival and saw a piece of technology that caught his eye. And lo and behold, Electric Styles was born: An apparel brand that brightens your wares with electrolumin-escent wiring. The two-year-old Californian company lights up a variety of clothes, from bras to hoodies. Metro chatted to the ex-military man about his LED push-up bra, a $60-to-$70 US number powered by two AA batteries.

Why light up a bra?Well, my girlfriend wore one to a club and the girls there went crazy over it.

Do you have any celebrity fans?One of the top 20 most recog-nizable actresses in America is going to wear one of our bras in a 2014 feature film. But our clothes have been everywhere — (Brazilian actor) Rodrigo Santoro was wearing a light-up hoodie on MTV.

Which celebrity would you love to wear your bras?All of them! But especially Megan Fox — I think she would love them.

Do you think one day people will wear light-up bras to the shops?I think so. Culture is moving in the direction where light-up clothing is going to be every day. Also you can wear them under T-shirts so they shine through. Anyway, in a couple of years light-up clothing will be the norm.

Would you make matching underwear?Every girl asks for that. It’s difficult though because it’s too flimsy — there’s nowhere to put the battery pack.

Things are pretty quiet dur-ing these dog days of sum-mer, but in a few weeks, things will change dramat-ically. The hordes of those run-ning in the upcoming civic election will begin to des-cend upon us in force.

If you live in an area with a high voter turnout (Though in Edmonton “high voter turnout” is a relative term) you will begin to re-ceive automated phone calls, leaf lets will appear in

your mailbox, and people will knock on your door asking you to vote for their candidate and to put a sign on your lawn.

If you have a high tolerance for pain and boredom, you can go to forums and hear as many as 10 candidates or more tell you why they not only deserve your support, but about all the wonderful things they will do if elected, as

well. If you live in a ward with

no incumbent, trying to de-termine who will best rep-resent your interests and concerns will be a challen-ging task.

If you have a councillor who is looking to be re-elected, deciding if you should select his or her name on your ballot can be an even greater challenge.

When was the last time your councillor showed up at your door when it wasn’t during an election?

During the last three years, has your councillor

ever walked your neighbourhood to see for him or herself the state of your roads and sidewalks or any other thing that might concern you?

If not, how is he or she going to know how they should vote on any given issue that affects where you live?

If you have decided that your community league keeps your councillor well informed, I guess that isn’t an issue for you.

As for me, I would ask for a commitment that he or she will get out from under the pyramid at least once every couple of weeks and actually walk around the neighbour-hoods in my ward. Now that wards are no longer as huge as they once were, that’s doable.

I would like to be able to talk to my councillor about current issues and not about decisions that have already been made.

So now imagine that your current councillor is stand-ing at your door.

How much do you know about how he or she voted on the issues of concern to you? More about that in next week’s column.

How do you pick where to picnic?

Peter Klaunzer/Keystone/the associated Press

This piece is a little bit patchyPeople picnic on a huge picnic blanket Sunday on the Ruggisberg near Roggwil, Switzerland. The picnic blanket is an art installation called Bignick by the artistic twin brothers Frank and Patrik Riklin. GETTY ImAGES

Playing jokes like when they were kidsTheir projects often engage with people who become actors in a performance. Sometimes their works have social implications that are partly a gag, and part philanthropy.

One project is a shabby phone that the twins installed

on the side of the town hall building in Chur, Switzerland, that functions to raise money for deaf people. The potential donor calls a number and establishes how much they would like to donate to the project. At that point the telephone set up in Chur rings, and any passerby who answers the call saves the donation from dropping. mETRO

Embedded in society

“It should be placed in the middle of society, not in the museum! The best pieces of art are not recognized as such.”Frank Riklin said on his website.The duo began creating interventions in public spaces 10 years ago while they were both studying at art schools separately in Zurich and Berlin.

Can’t stop, won’t stopWe Can’t Stop: Miley Cyrus“It’s our party we can do what we want to, it’s our house we can love who we want to, it’s our song we can sing if we want to, it’s my mouth I can say what I want to,” Cyrus sings on her musical coming-out anthem that was originally meant for Rihanna.She’s ready for the spotlight.

You know you want itBlurred Lines: Robin Thicke, featuring T.I. and Pharrell“It has a (nice) tempo, it has a sense of humour and it feels like live music in-stead of that synth and digital sound, which Daft Punk has (with Get Lucky) and (Bruno Mars’) Treasure has,” Thicke said of his infectious, naughty jam, the longest-running song on the Billboard Hot 100 chart this year at eight weeks (and counting).

Call it luckGet Lucky: Daft Punk, featuring Pharrell“We’ve come too far to give up who we are, so let’s raise the bar and our cups to the stars,” Pharrell sings on a disco-flavoured beat that heals the soul. “The present has no ribbon, your gift keeps on giving, what is this I’m feeling, if you wanna leave I’m with it.”

Sounds like a plan!

Find out why Robin Thicke and Icona Pop think their multiplatinum hits should be named “song of the summer.” And for Miley Cyrus, Daft Punk and Bruno Mars, who weren’t available to chat, here are some lyrics from their anthems to defend their honour.

A 2012 song dominates in 2013I Love It: Icona Pop, featuring Charli XCX“People get wild when they hear it and it’s like liberating and everybody can sing along to it. It’s a party song or it’s at least a song you can party to even though the message is coming out from a really hard heartbreak,” said Caroline Hjelt of the Swedish duo. “If you’re in the car on your way to something or festivals or pre-parties or out at the club, it works in so many ways.”

The Word

Oh baby, it’s been quite a week with the KardashiansJust in case you needed to know what is up with America’s favourite Armen-ian family, it looks like Kourtney Kardashian has some explaining to do. On Thursday, Michael Girgenti, a professional model, filed a paternity suit in Los Angeles County Superior Court, say-ing that he had a one-night stand with Kardashian. Which wouldn’t be all that noteworthy, except he is saying her son Mason is

actually his and not Scott Disick’s. The model is now seeking joint custody of Mason. Kardashian’s lawyer, Shawn Holley, said in a statement that Girgenti’s accusations are “false and defamatory.”

Meanwhile, sis Kim Kar-dashian is still refusing to sell pictures of baby North West. TMZ is reporting that she and baby daddy Kanye West have been offered upwards of $3 million for pictures of the tot, but they have declined all offers. Per the website, Kim and Kanye are either going to release them to an upscale publication (Vanity Fair is reportedly be-ing thrown around) or they are going to put them up on social media, a la Blue Ivy.

Oprah Winfrey

Admirable Oprah stays classy in the face of blatant

discrimination in ZurichEven Oprah Winfrey isn’t safe from discrimination, as she learned while shopping for a handbag in Zurich recently. Winfrey tells Entertainment Tonight that when she asked a clerk at the chic Trois Pommes bou-

tique to see a $35,000 Tom Ford bag, the clerk refused. “She says to me, ‘No. It’s too expensive,’” Winfrey remembers. “‘That one will cost too much and you will not be able to afford that.’” Winfrey, who earned an estimated $77 million in the last year, decided not to make a scene. “I could have had the big blowup thing and thrown down the (American Express) black card and all that stuff, but why do that?” she says. A spokeswoman for the bou-tique calls the episode “an absolute misunderstand-ing,” saying the problem was the clerk did not recog-nize Winfrey.

LIFE

He’s got those home from camp bluesHow can parents help transi-tion kids from exciting camp life back to the reality of home?

A welcome home partyWhen my son went to camp for the first time, he was greeted with “Welcome Home” signs, giddy siblings, neighbours, cousins and friends. We had his favourite meal ready for him and the kids had an evening in the pool. Coming home felt

pretty darn good.

Plan activitiesDon’t let them come home and wallow in boredom. Remind them that being home is fun too and plan some fun family outings.

Support new interestsMaybe they learned a bit of gui-tar, enjoyed being in the camp play or discovered they had

a flare for arts and crafts. Joc Palm, Director of Glen Bernard Camp suggests encouraging them to continue with these interests with local classes. Sup-porting their new camp inter-est at home is a positive step in helping with the transition home. Palm also suggests that campers contribute to a school or community project that embodies their camp’s values. Camp has fostered an incred-

ible appreciation of nature for my girls. As a result, they have been involved in projects and protests that make both them and their camp proud.

Pen palsWhen my son comes home from Camp Ponacka, he is hold-ing on tight to his “Rag Bag” — a journal given to all of the boys including email and snail mail addresses. Camp Director Anne

Morawetz says encouraging the boys to keep in touch makes being away from their summer buddies a little less painful.

Social media If your kids are on social media, they can stay connected with camp through Facebook and other channels. It is a great way for a child to keep that connected feeling to camp. JULIE COLE/YUMMYMUMMYCLUB.CA

Fun chores

Matching up missing socks Our clothes dryer seems to be a Bermuda Triangle for socks and I’m sure yours is the same. They go in as a pair, but come out individually on different occasions.

When a sock comes out on its own, I throw it into a container.

Each time I do laundry and a new batch of one-sided socks come out, I make it into a fun matching game for the kids.

I have them go through all the new socks and the socks in the container to see if there are any matches. The kids have fun searching for matches and it always results in a few happy sock reunions! GWEN LERON/YUMMYMUMMYCLUB.CA

Safety tips

Taking your children into crowdsIf you are going into a crowded venue with young children, here are three easy safety steps you can always employ to ensure their safety — and your sanity.

1. Put your business card in the child’s pocket.

2. With a marker, write your cellphone number on the back of the child’s hand.

3. Take a photo of each child with your phone. Should you become separated from a child, it will be easier for you to be reconnected. EVELYN HANNON/YUMMYMUMMYCLUB.CA

Life according to kids

With a baby comes the old neighbourhood lady in the faded floral frock.

Sitting on our front porch bench is the only cue this woman needs to climb our stoop and, using a squeaky, high-pitched voice, repeated-ly tell our child she loves him.

She also calls out an on-slaught of orders (she wants him to shake her hand, wave, smile and clap). That he’s not a circus monkey willing to perform tricks on demand only makes her press harder. “Shake my hand! Here! Here! Shake my hand!” she says over and over.

We don’t know this woman. In fact, she barely ac-knowledges us, which makes this all more than just a little strange.

We suspect she’s lonely, that this small interaction makes her day, so we’re pa-tient.

Of course this overzealous, baby-induced behaviour is not exclusive to her. Nothing turns presumably sane folks into big piles of goo-goo-ga-ga mush quite like fresh-faced, apple-cheeked babies.

Indeed they can inspire even the grouchiest of adults to start babbling nonsensical-ly like oversized infants.

It’s understandable — get-ting treated to a little squish’s

gummy grin is like being hugged inside and out.

It is somewhat addictive, really. We find them irresist-ible because they are refresh-ingly open to the world and fascinated by the people in it.

For instance, our son doesn’t turn steely-faced when someone looks his dir-ection. He doesn’t try to avoid eye contact by sticking his nose in a giant picture book.

Like his very huggable peers, he’s not cynical or greedy and he doesn’t know how to lie. He is naturally warm and kind, and has boundless amounts of un-bridled curiosity.

Parents, don’t you just wish you could bottle this innocence, wonderment and untarnished state of being and hold onto it forever?

If only we could keep just

some of that spirit alive.The number of passersby

willing to wave, giggle, coo and play peek-a-boo with unfamiliar children is aston-ishing, but the rate at which they close down the instant they see another grownup is depressing.

For a moment, like the creaky lady who lives up the street, they’ve made a con-nection. Then, just as quickly, they’ve hardened up, put on a coating of thick, imperme-able skin, and set off again.

Certainly I am not sug-gesting we go around greet-ing everyone like overexcited puppies, but basic civility wouldn’t be too much to ask for, would it?

We could simply acknow-ledge one another. Smile. Say hello.

We could learn a lot from these tiny, happy creatures that so easily draw us out of our protective shells.

After all, we were once just like them, smiling, laughing and loving fully. Living viv-aciously and unselfconscious-ly and inquisitively.

And, finally, we were appreciative of the simple things in life, and that truly is no small thing.

Lessons. We could learn a lot from our children — like friendliness, curiosity and simply saying hello

Right Training, Wrong Job?

Quinn Cooney of Mill Creek, Wash., is excited about start-ing high school in Septem-ber, but she’s not looking forward to waking up at 5:30 a.m. to arrive on time. Class-es for ninth-graders start at 7:30 a.m., 45 minutes ear-lier than they did in middle school.

“I think it is going to be harder to get up,” said Quinn, 13. “I do think it is better to start early so that we can be finished early and do things after school, but I am worried that if I have a boring class for my first per-iod that it will be hard to stay awake.”

Decades of sleep research have confirmed what par-ents know: It’s hard for teen-agers to wake up early. Some high schools have adopted late starts around 8:30 a.m. to improve attendance and performance. But other dis-tricts say it’s too complicated to shift schedules because of logistics involving buses and after-school activities.

About 40 per cent of U.S. public high schools open before 8 a.m., according to the U.S. Department of Edu-cation’s National Center for Education Statistics, with just 15 per cent starting 8:30 a.m. or later. In districts where early starts are neces-sary because the same bus does multiple runs for high school, middle school and elementary students, teens often get the early shift.

That’s the case in Anne Arundel County, Md., where

public high schools start at 7:17 a.m. and buses start running at 5:50 a.m. Lisa Rodvien taught high school

there, in Annapolis, and says attendance at her first-period classes was “as low as 50 per cent or below.”

Drowsy at the desk. The debate about ideal school start times snoozes on as parents worry about an extra-curricular collision

Does earlier to rise mean later to wise?

Among those who showed up, “I would definitely see three or four kids with their heads down. You walk over to them to wake them up and get them to sit up, and you see that they’re exhaust-ed.”

Earlier this year, Anne Arundel school officials laid out options for delaying start times to anywhere from 7:32 a.m. to 9:45 a.m. along with potential complications, such as additional costs if buses are added, child care issues where late-day sched-ules might prevent teens from picking up younger sib-lings after school and impli-

cations for teams if they end up playing in the dark. Bob Mosier, spokesman for Anne Arundel schools, said no de-cisions have been made.

But the focus on logistics is frustrating for Heather Macintosh, spokeswoman for a national organization called Start School Later that’s headquartered in An-napolis.

“What is the priority?” she said. “It should be edu-cation, health and safety. All the other stuff may not be perfect — you may have to have your violin lesson be-fore school or install lights on your field (for sports) —

but it will work itself out.” Megan Kuhfeld, a graduate student at the University of California-Los Angeles who’s been studying late-start debates since she was an undergrad at Duke Univer-sity in North Carolina, sur-veyed some 35 districts that switched to later starts and found most were glad they’d made the switch.

Not only did students benefit, for the most part, but “the things people had feared — how transporta-tion would be affected, how sports would be affected — became the new normal and people adjusted,” she said.

But Kuhfeld knows firsthand the pros and cons of late-start high schools, hav-ing attended one in Chapel Hill, N.C. “I enjoyed waking up later than everyone in the area next to me where there were early start times,” she said. But as a member of the tennis team, she had to miss sixth and seventh period classes to compete at other schools. In junior and senior year, that meant classes had to be made up. “It was hard to balance everything,” she said. “I’d get home at 8 p.m. and hadn’t had dinner yet.”The associaTed press

Studies have shown that young children are natural larks — up with the sun — while adolescents become more owl-like as puberty progresses. istock

It’s about time

Still, advocates say several studies show the benefits of late start schools outweigh the drawbacks.

• In 1996, high school start times in Edina, Minn., changed from 7:20 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. The change improved attendance, decreased tardiness and left kids more alert, better prepared and even less depressed and less likely to visit school nurses, according to stud-ies led by Kyla Wahlstrom, director of the Center for Applied Research and Educational Improvement at the University of Minnesota.

Female entrepreneurship has always lagged behind men’s — for decades, women couldn’t even open a bank account with-out a husband or male relative co-signing — but women are making up for lost time. Be-tween 1997 and 2013 the num-ber of women-owned business-es leapt by 59 per cent. Today, according to American Express Open’s annual report on fe-male entrepreneurs, there are 8.6 million women-owned busi-nesses in the U.S. Almost a third of firms are owned by women. And female entrepreneurship is undergoing a demographic shift: back in 1997, 17 per cent of firms were owned by women of colour. Today, that number is

31 per cent. Julie Weeks of Womenable,

a consultancy, says all this re-flects women’s growing edu-cational accomplishments, ex-perience in the workplace, and confidence. Still, entrepreneur-ship is far from an easy road.

“Only one in 10 or so adults in the U.S. owns their own busi-ness,” she says. “It is a daunting thing to do. If you don’t work, you don’t get a paycheque. You have to have a certain iron gut to take that step and do it.”

Although plenty of women have that iron gut, women-owned businesses bring in just

four per cent of business rev-enues. In short, most women-owned firms stay small. Very small. Weeks spends a lot of time talking about how female-owned businesses can grow, employ others and help the economy. But she recognizes that many women want to be “solopreneurs” — to build their work around their schedules and to serve clients on their own terms.

Rafael Nadal celebrates his victory over Canadian Milos Raonic during the Rogers Cup fi nal on Sunday in Montreal. PAUL CHIASSON/THE CANADIAN PRESS

Milos Raonic called it a learn-ing experience.

It certainly wasn’t the vic-tory party the Montreal crowd was hoping for as Rafael Na-dal took only one hour eight minutes to down Canada’s top

tennis player 6-2, 6-2 in the $3.49-million US Rogers Cup final on Sunday.

But it had taken 55 years for a Canadian just to get to the final of the country’s biggest tournament, so Raonic had much to celebrate despite the defeat.

For one, by reaching the final he will be ranked 10th in the world when the next rank-ings appear Monday morning, making him the first Canadian to crack the top 10. He will be

the youngest player in the top 10 as well.

“The tournament overall

was a great thing,” the 22-year-old from Thornhill, Ont., said. “There were a lot of situations that I’m very happy with the way I dealt with them, and there were a lot of learning ex-periences through it all.

“A lot of stepping stones that I need to do in my career happened this week, so that’s great. The match, obviously I’m a little disappointed with myself. I would have hoped to deal with that situation a little bit better.” THE CANADIAN PRESS

Nadal extends Canadian droughtRogers Cup. Spaniard beats Ontario’s Raonic, who is now ranked 10th in the world

Backing Canadian tennis

The last Canadian to reach the fi nal of what was then called the Canadian Open, the now 81-year-old Robert Bedard, was among the more than 11,000 at Uniprix Stadium’s centre court.

Thumping in Toronto

Williams coasts to Rogers titleSerena Williams insists it’s not as easy as it looks.

The top-seeded Amer-ican breezed to her third Rogers Cup title with a 6-2, 6-0 victory over unseeded Romanian Sorana Cirstea in Sunday’s final, giving Williams her eighth WTA title of the year and 54th of her career.

She didn’t drop a set all week at the $2.369-mil-lion US tournament and lost only 22 games, almost half of which came against third seed Agnieszka Radwanska in a semifinal match that proved to be the only real test for the world No. 1 in Toronto.

With the absence of top-five players Maria Sharapova and Victoria Azarenka, and the early exit of Wimbledon champ Marion Bartoli, all due to injury, Williams’ path to the title was made con-siderably less obstructed. But with expectation comes pressure, and Wil-liams proved more than up to the task.THE CANADIAN PRESS

Athletics blast Blue Jays bullpen The Toronto Blue Jays were done in by a faltering bullpen in a 6-4 loss to the Oakland Athletics on Sunday.

After a respectable outing from starter R.A. Dickey, an eighth-inning implosion by

veteran reliever Darren Oli-ver was enough to cost the Blue Jays a win on Canada Baseball Day. Oliver entered with the score tied 3-3 and gave up three earned runs on four hits.

The Jays left the bases loaded three times, including the ninth when they scored a run on A’s closer Grant Balfour. The Canadian Press

Dufner lets loose with a smile after winning major

Equipped with a two-shot lead at the turn, still carrying a few scars from his PGA Champion-ship collapse two years ago, Jason Dufner never showed signs of cracking.

No one expected anything else from a player whose popu-larity comes from his flat-line personality.

He merely waved to the gallery when he shot 63 in the second round to tie a ma-jor championship record. He didn’t show much of a pulse Sunday as he matched scores with Jim Furyk at every hole on the back nine. Only after Duf-ner tapped in for a bogey on the 18th hole to win the PGA Championship did he crack a smile, raise both arms and give a slight pump of the fist, saving

all that emotion for a grand oc-casion. Major champion.

Dufner can’t think of any other athlete who plays with so little emotion.

“But those sports are a little more exciting — big plays in basketball, home runs in base-ball, big plays in football. That will get you pumped up,” he said. “For me, golf is a little bit more boring. I hit it in the fairway or I didn’t. Usually I’m struggling with the putter, so there’s not too much to get ex-cited about with that.”The assoCiaTed Press

PGA Championship. Latest victor makes up for colossal collapse two years ago

Getting the job done

Dufner blew a four-shot lead with four holes to play and lost in a playoff to Keegan Bradley at the PGA Cham-pionship two years ago.

• He closed with a 2-under 68 on Sunday for a two-stroke win over Furyk.

Back on top. Bolt reclaims world championshipUsain Bolt restored order to the world of sprinting.

Reclaiming the 100-metre world championship gold he lost through a false start in South Korea two years ago, the Olympic champion once again holds every ma-jor sprint title there is. And he shook off rain, sore legs, a slow start and any doubters Sunday to prove there never has been an athlete quite like him.

“For me to come in and re-gain my title, it’s always great to be back,” said Bolt, who fin-ished the race in 9.77 seconds.

Justin Gatlin of the United

States was second in 9.85, while Bolt’s teammate, Nesta Carter, took bronze in 9.95. The assoCiaTed Press

Quoted

“I’m just doing my part by run-ning fast, winning

titles and letting the world know you can do it clean.” Usain Bolt

Horoscopes

Aries March 21 - April 20 It can, of course, be fun taking life a day at a time but the more you look ahead and visualize where you are going the more likely it is your dreams will come true

Taurus April 21 - May 21 Make an effort to co-operate with people today, even though some of the idiots – sorry, associates – you have to deal with are annoying in the extreme.

Gemini May 22 - June 21 Keep your senses on full alert today and you could see or hear something that benefits you in surprising ways. It does not matter what the source happens to be, just make sure you are the first to react – and act.

Cancer June 22 - July 23 Greet the week with a song in your heart and a smile on your face and don’t let anyone upset you in any way.

Leo July 24 - Aug. 23 Don’t keep your ideas to yourself – make sure everyone knows what is buzzing around that big brain of yours. Some-one in a position of power may like one of your ideas to such an extent that he backs it with money.

Virgo Aug. 24 - Sept. 23 You will enjoy being put to the test over the next seven days. It gives you the chance to show what you can do – and you can do plenty. If ever there was a time to impress important people, that time is now.

Libra Sept. 24 - Oct. 23 You may be wondering if you are smart enough to compete with people who are more experienced than you. You won’t know until you try but the planets indicate you’ll do okay.

Scorpio Oct. 24 - Nov. 22 Even if you are stuck behind a desk or in some other way forced to stay in one place you can imagine where you would like to be – and will be before long if you have anything to do with it. Never stop dreaming.

Sagittarius Nov. 23 - Dec. 21 Get-rich-quick schemes are rarely a good idea, so maybe you should think twice, if not three times, before signing up to something you cannot know for sure will be a success.

Capricorn Dec. 22 - Jan. 20 All may seem well with your world at the moment but don’t lose sight of the fact that you have an important issue to take care of before the week ahead is done.

Aquarius Jan. 21 - Feb. 19 When dealing with people, one-to-one or in groups, focus on what you have in common rather than what divides you.

Pisces Feb. 20 - March 20 You will find it easy to express your affection for, well, just about everyone today. It’s because you can see a bit of good in each and every individual. The world would be a better place if there were more people like you in it. SALLY BROMPTON
