THINGS TO ANDREW VAUGHAN/THE CANADIAN PRESS

know Bryan Maynard, a co-owner of Farmboys Inc. with his brother Kyle, is seen in one of their potato fields in Richmond, on Friday. Maynard is calling on
families to talk about the future of their farms.

GAS PRICES GO UP
Gasoline prices increased by
2.0 cents per litre (cpl) over
the weekend. The Island
Regulatory and Appeals
Commission approved the
increase, which was effective
on July 15. There was no
change in the price of diesel,
furnace oil, stove oil or pro-
pane. Including adjustments
for taxes, pump prices for
regular unleaded gasoline
at self-serve outlets now
range from 103.5 to 104.7 cpl.
Increases in the wholesale
price of gasoline over the
past two weeks, according to
IRAC, were what necessitated
the price adjustment. The
commission’s next scheduled
price adjustment will be on
Aug. 1.

LIGHTHOUSE
Aging farmers, lack of succession plans put future of family farms at risk
BY JESSICA SMITH CROSS
THE CANADIAN PRESS
RICHMOND
Bryan Maynard says his
grandfather, a Prince Edward Is-
land potato farmer, didn’t start
talking about retirement until
he was 80 years old and had been
diagnosed with dementia.
At that point, with no succes-
sion strategy in place, Maynard
and his brother suddenly had to
scramble to find a way to keep
the farm in the family and just
barely managed to do so.
The 33-year-old’s situation is
not uncommon.
A growing number of farmers
are nearing retirement without
having formally planned for their
successors, putting the next gen-
eration of small-scale farming at
risk – something Maynard and
advocates are urging farming
families to think about.
“Our grandfather didn’t really
want to talk about selling the
farm, ever, until it was too late
and he had to,” Maynard said.
A Statistics Canada study
found last year that the average
age of Canadian farmers had
reached 55 after rising for dec-
ades, and 92 per cent of farms
had no written plan for who will
take over when the operator re-
tires.
It also found there were more
farmers over age 70, than under
35.
Farmlink
Christie Young, of Guelph,
Ont., is trying to tackle that issue
with Farmlink, a matchmaking
service she runs for farm owners
and prospective farmers across
Canada.
She has found there’s no
shortage of young people armed
with business plans who want
to get into farming, and older
farmers who want to see their
land farmed by a new generation
when they retire.
The problem, she said, is that
many farmers have become
heavily leveraged in recent dec-
ades, having borrowed against
the rising value of their farm
properties, which spiked nearly
40 per cent per acre on average
between 2011 and 2016, accord-
ing to Statistics Canada.
That means farm owners need
to sell their properties for full
market value in order to retire,
said Young, so the only buy-
ers tend to be large agricultural
operations consolidating farm-
land in rural areas or, if the farm
is in the shadow of a city, prop-
erty developers.
“If you’re a new farmer who’s
trying to buy a piece of land and
pay for it by working the land,
it’s almost an impossible prop-
osition,” she said.
Young uses Farmlink to help
farm owners and young farmers
set up partnerships that begin
years before the owner’s retire-
ment, such as lease-to-own ar-
rangements that can allow a
new farmer to start small and
expand.

Q NEW BUSINESS

A P.E.I. landmark for over 170
years, the Point Prim Light-
house property is receiving
upgrades. To mitigate against
further shoreline erosion
and welcome new tourists,

City of Summerside

collaborating
BY MILLICENT MCKAY
JOURNAL PIONEER
SUMMERSIDE
With statistics Canada not-
ing that a third of Summer-
side’s population is Acadian or
of French Heritage, city coun-
cillors thought it important
to collaborate with La Centre
Belle-Alliance.
On Monday, city council
passed a resolution forming an
agreement with the local French
and Acadian group.
It’s a five-year agreement
showing the willingness for
Summerside to work with its
French and Acadian commun-
ities to better the city and the
community, said Coun. Brent
Gallant.
“We’ve been looking to for-
malize a partnership with the
centre for a number of years. In
recent months, the opportunity
came to us to do so.”
In the agreement, it states
that both parties will work
together from April 1, 2017, until
March 31, 2022.
The hope is that it will encour-
age Acadians and francophones
in the community to partici-
pate in activities organized by
the city, as well as volunteer on
committees, boards and other
working groups, attend council
meetings and inform council
of important events, activities,
plans, milestones, initiatives or
policies that may impact the
city.
The partnership will also help
organize recreational activities
in French using facilities lo-
cated in the city or operated by
the city.
Gallant says there are no con-
crete goals as of yet, but it will
allow for many opportunities in
the future.
“It’s made us more aware.
Now we’re making what we al-
ready do formalized.”
The collaboration will pro-
mote Summerside as a host of
cultural and tourism events in
French such as the 2018 Acad-
ian Seniors Games, 2019 Acad-
ian World Congress, 300th
anniversary celebrations of the
foundation of Isle-Saint-Jean
taking place in 2020 and sup-
porting Summerside’s Sport
and Event Tourism Strategy
(SETS) by providing, where
available, francophone resour-
ces for the staging of national
and international events and
SETS efforts in becoming bilin-
gual.
Three main initiatives will
come from the agreement: de-
veloping a vision and strategy
to translate the city’s website
and its content, as well as other
city documents for public con-
sumption; adding bilingualism
as a preferred skill when hiring
front-line staff at City Hall and
Credit Union Place and com-
munications support staff and
inventing methods to increase
public visibility of French-
speaking staff already employed
by the city.
The groups will meet once
a year to review the previous
year’s collaboration efforts and
progress achieved, to outline
the upcoming year’s efforts and
to identify improvements to the
effective and mutual partner-
ship.
Bill Martin, the city’s mayor,
and Giselle Babineau-Jordan,
the chairwoman of La Cen-
tre Belle-Alliance will sign the
agreement in August.

It is with deep sadness that
the family of Simone Cormier
announces her passing, which
occurred peacefully on July
14, 2017 at Monarch Hall of
Parkland Shannex in River-
view. In her final days, she was
surrounded by the love of her
children and extended family:
sharing warm memories, laugh-
ter and a few tears. Born in
Tracadie, N.B. on July 11, 1932,
she was the
daughter of the
late Adélard
Gautreau and
the late Grace
Losier. She is
survived by
her children,
Ruth of Ot-
tawa, Marline
of Saint John, and Kevin (Susan
Muise) of Moncton; 7 grand-
children Kelsey and Alix Cor-
mier, Ellen and Laura Boyd,

(Geraldine) of Grand Falls,
and Roger (Hercule) of Grand
Falls, Albertine Levesque of St.

Edmundston; several cousins,
nieces, nephews and friends.
Besides her husband and par-
ents, Simone was predeceased
by 2 sisters Dorice Basque and
Alfreda Plantin and 12 broth-
ers-in-law and 3 sisters-in-law.
The family greatly appreciates
the wonderful support and
kindness of family and friends.
We would also like to thank Dr.

the nurses and staff of Park-
land Riverview at all levels of
care (i.e., Royal Court, Canter-

exceptional kindness shown
to Mom and to our family. We
would also like to express our
gratitude to her Summerside
friends for their devoted care
and ongoing thoughtfulness,
including Dr. Nicholson, and
the staff at Parkhill Place and
Summerside Home Care. Your
kindness and compassion will
never be forgotten. As per Si-
mone’s wishes, there will be no
visitation. A celebration of her
life will take place at St. Paul’s
Parish in Summerside, P.E.I. at
10:30 am on Thursday, July 20,
2017. Interment will be at St.
Paul’s Cemetery followed by a
reception at St Paul’s Parish. Ar-

Q FOOD
Cooking under pressure
Executive chef Javier Alarco announced as 2017 Chic Chef of the Year
BY SALLY COLE
THE GUARDIAN
Javier Alarco knows how to
work under pressure.
On Friday, the executive
chef of the Waters Edge
and his team at the Delta
Prince Edward Hotel were
busy with major food prepara-
tions.
“We have 400 for lunch and
400 for dinner and in between
there’s just small function, but
still I want to make sure the
best food goes forward,” says
Alarco.
At the same time, he was
expected to attend the P.E.I.
International Shell Fish Festival
launch, in partnership with Best
of the Sea, at Red Shores Race-
track and Casino, where a spe-
cial announcement was about
to be made.
In what could only be
called split-second timing,
Alarco arrived at the exact
moment to see a video an-
nouncing his win as the 2017
Chic Chef of the Year by Best of
Sea.
The chef also took time
to speak to the enthusiastic
audience waiting for him and
answering questions before
heading back to the hotel before
a busy noon hour.
Q PUBLIC SAFETY
Plane hit by green laser on approach to airport in Charlottetown: police
THE CANADIAN PRESS
CHARLOTTETOWN
RCMP are investigating a
report of a green laser being
directed into the cockpit of a
commercial aircraft as it ap-
proached the airport in Char-
lottetown.
Q AGRICULTURE
Future of family farms
in question
FROM A1
“The problem is that’s not
how building farms has hap-
pened in the past. We don’t have
a whole lot of history with agri-
culture, we only have 200 years,
and the transition between gen-
erations hasn’t looked like this
before,” she said.
A successful farm transition
tends to require time and plan-
ning, so when a farmer comes to
Young wanting to sell his prop-
erty to a new farmer for $5 mil-
lion by next weekend, she can’t
help, she said.
The exception
In Maynard’s case, when his
grandfather suddenly needed
to retire in 2015, he and his
brother bought 70 per cent of
the farm. They’re successful
today, but Maynard said they’re
the exception to the rule.
He said they just managed to
get a loan, secured with a parcel
of land that had been willed to
them by their father and the fi-
nancial backing of their mother
– assets that aren’t available for
most.
“It’s not the way Canadian
agriculture should be doing
things,” he said. “It’s just tough
to see family farms dwindle up
and go the way of the dinosaur
just because of the lack of plan-
ning and lack of resources avail-
able to young farmers to help
them get off the ground.”
Statistics Canada has, how-
ever, identified a small sign of
change, finding the number of
farmers under age 35 had in-
creased slightly from 2011 to
2016, reaching almost 25,000,
with a marked increase in the
number of farms run by young
women. It’s the first growth in
the under 35 demographic since
1991.
Small-scale farming
Brenda Hsueh attributes
some of that growth to a recent
trend of many young farmers
being motivated by a passion
for small-scale organic farming
and local food.
Javier Alarco, executive chef of the Waters Edge, is the 2017 Chic Chef competition winner. His win qualifies him to
take the 12th spot in the Garland Canada International Chef Challenge at the P.E.I. International Shellfish Festival,
Sept. 15-17. In an interview Alarco recognized the value of teamwork in achieving his win. “I did not do this alone.”
“Winning this is a tremendous
honour, representing the Island,
utilizing the local seafood, which
is incredible, is a great privilege,
Police said the WestJet pas-
senger aircraft encountered
the beam of light at around 11
p.m. Sunday as it flew over the
Brackley Beach area of P.E.I.
The laser, which could tem-
porarily blind pilots, shone in
the cockpit for about five to 10
seconds.
The pilot landed the plane
She took an unconventional
path to farming, buying prop-
erty in Grey County, Ont., in
2009 at age 33, with funds from
the sale of her Toronto condo,
which she had bought while
working in the financial servi-
ces industry.
Hsueh was trained to farm
by the Collaborative Regional
Alliance for Farmer Training
in southwestern Ontario, a
network of small-scale organic
farms that offer internships.
But Hsueh said most of the
younger interns she met can’t
afford the price of entry to farm-
ing today.
That’s why Young said she’d
love the federal government to
focus more of its farming sup-
port on young farmers, rather
than on the economic viability
of farming in general, fearing
that without a change, there
will be no more small family
farms.
“We’re losing them,” she said.
Agriculture and Agri-Food
Canada said the federal govern-
ment provides funding and loan
support to some young farmers,
including loans for farm transi-
tions that allow for deferred
payments and interest-only
payments.
“We are continuing to explore
ways to support the next gen-
eration of farmers in starting
up and transferring farms,” the
ministry said in a statement.
Statistics Canada’s research
shows the overall amount of
Canadian land being farmed
has remained relatively stable
over decades, as farms have
consolidated to become larger,
and the number of farmers has
fallen.
“That’s OK if what we care
about is GDP and gross farm
receipts,” said Young. “But it’s
not OK if what we care about is
farm livelihoods and farm fam-
ilies and thriving communities.”

Wriggling
off the hook
H
ere’s a thought: does anyone really think
that police officers with years of experi-
ence are so inept as to make as many as
four separate violations of the Canadian Charter
of Rights and Freedoms in a single drunk-driv-
ing arrest?
Or is it time for lawmakers to review how
drinking and driving convictions are obtained,
and clearly spell out the process, especially when
courts are taxed for time, and lengthy and de-
tailed court cases are being thrown out for taking
too long to come to court.
If you review any province’s court case for
drunk driving, you notice one thing pretty
quickly: defence lawyers throw up any Charter
objection they can to the arrest of their clients,
and each one has to be argued.
Two June cases in Ontario make the point
clearly, where two different drivers made four
Charter violation claims apiece.
In R. vs. Nicolas Rossi, the accused wanted the
case stopped because of:

The emperor’s new wall

Youth is wasted on the young.
So is sleep.
When I was younger, I slept
soundly — but those days are in
the past.
I’m lucky; I still drop right off.
But I wake up in the middle of
the night, set off by a noise or
the creak of the house settling,
and sometimes, more and more
often, I’m awake for hours.
Between 3:30 and 4 a.m. Mon-
day morning, I was wide awake.
I heard the beetling street
sweeper off in the distance,
chewing its slow path along the
side streets.
I try to think about incon-
sequential things; at least, I try
to think about things I have no
real hand in. If I think about
work or finances or the jobs I’ve
agreed to do, it’s just a recipe for
staying awake.
Sometimes, I plan clapboard-
ing or trimming out windows,

because it’s different and prac-
tical. Sometimes, I think about a
stone wall for some future herb
garden. Last night, for some rea-
son, it ended up being a different
wall.
For some reason, it was U.S.
President Donald Trump’s
much-ballyhooed border wall
with Mexico, a wall that Trump
has suggested will be as much as
50 feet high and one that he has
insisted the Mexican govern-
ment will pay for.
And suddenly, in the night,
it struck me that even Donald
Trump doesn’t really believe
that there will be a wall — and
maybe he never did.
Comments from Trump on a
flight to Paris last week make it
all more far-fetched.
“One of the things with the
wall is you need transparency,”
Trump told reporters.
“You have to be able to see
through it. In other words, if you
can’t see through that wall —
so it could be a steel wall with
openings, but you have to have
openings because you have to
see what’s on the other side of
the wall.”
There are reasons for that, ap-
parently.
“As horrible as it sounds,
when they throw the large
sacks of drugs over, and if you
have people on the other side of
the wall, you don’t see them —
they hit you on the head with
60 pounds of stuff? It’s over,”
Trump continued. “As crazy as
that sounds, you need transpar-
ency through that wall.”
Just process that for a minute,
and think about the energy in-
volved with throwing a 60 pound
sack of drugs 50 feet in the air.
Then, search Google for anyone
ever killed by a cross-border
drug toss.
And if you don’t believe that
Trump is just saying whatever
comes into his head at any par-
ticular time, think about his next
flight of rhetorical wall fancy.
“There is a chance that we
can do a solar wall,” Trump told
reporters. “We have major com-
panies looking at that. Look,
there’s no better place for solar
than the Mexico border — the
southern border. And there is a
very good chance we can do a
solar wall, which would actually
look good. But there is a very
good chance we could do a solar
wall.”
So, a good-looking 50-foot
solar wall with transparency
that someone else will pay for.
Right. It was going to cost
US$1.6 billion to build 70 miles
of wall in 2018 — a request of
US$1 billion to build 60 miles
of wall this year was rejected by
Congress.
The wall’s also smaller than it
was: once touted as stretching
the 2,000-mile length of the bor-
der, Trump is now saying only
700 to 900 miles of wall will ac-
tually be built.
The total $21.6-billion cost
seems to fluctuate, and no one
has money to build it.
Almost asleep by then, I
thought about how this same
man has all of the power of the
U.S. military at his fingertips.
So much for sleeping.

Six killed as Indian,

trade fire in Kashmir
SRINAGAR, India — Four
Pakistani soldiers, one Indian
soldier and a child were
killed Monday as Indian and
Pakistani troops traded fire
across a cease-fire line divid-
ing the troubled Kashmir
region between the two
countries, officials said.
Indian army spokesman
Lt. Col. Manish Mehta said
Pakistani troops fired mortar
shells and automatic weap-
ons into the Rajouri sector of
Indian-controlled Kashmir on
Monday morning. A mortar
shell landed on a bunker,
wounding a soldier who later
died at a hospital, he said.
Mehta called the Pakistani
firing an unprovoked viola-
tion of a 2003 cease-fire
between the neighbours and
said Indian troops returned
fire.
In Islamabad, the director
general of military opera-
tions, Maj. Gen. Sahir Sham-
shad Mirza, accused Indian
soldiers of attacking a Paki-
stani army vehicle, killing
four soldiers.
Three civilians, two on the
Indian side and one on the
Pakistani-controlled part of
the Himalayan region, were
also reported injured.
Japan says this is a
time to raise pressure
on North Korea
NEW YORK — Japan’s gov-

this is a moment to raise
pressure on North Korea —
not a time for dialogue.
Norio Maruyama said North
Korea has reached “a new
level” with its latest launch of
an intercontinental ballistic
missile “and this is a time
to raise pressure in order to
be able to conduct a serious
dialogue.”
He told a briefing Monday
for a group of UN correspon-
dents that “dialogue for the
sake of dialogue is meaning-
less.”
The U.S. wants to toughen
UN sanctions against the
North, including restricting
oil sales. Maruyama said “we
are considering” tougher UN
sanctions. He also said, “we
need to see what sanctions
are most successful.”
Maruyama urged all coun-
tries to implement UN sanc-
tions and called on China
and Russia to use their influ-
ence to play “an even more
constructive role” with North
Korea.
Russian court upholds
ban on Jehovah’s
witnesses
MOSCOW — Russia’s Su-
preme Court has rejected an
appeal of its nationwide ban
on the Jehovah’s Witnesses
religious denomination.
The court’s appeals chamber
has upheld the April ap-
proval of the Russian Justice
Ministry’s call to halt Jeho-
vah’s Witnesses activities
and to declare it an extremist
organization.
The rejection of the reli-
gious group’s appeal allows
Russia to liquidate the 395
Jehovah’s Witnesses congre-
gations and seize their prop-
erty. The group claims about
170,000 adherents in Russia.
Jehovah’s Witnesses spokes-
man David Semonian said
in a statement that “it’s very
concerning that despite
overwhelming evidence
to the contrary, powerful
elements within Russia con-
tinue to frame our organiza-
tion as extremist.”

Venezuelans participated in a

Q TRIATHLON
Peak performance
Duane Yoshikawa, from Montague, competed in the triathlon for the first time after being inspired by his friend Donna Johnston, who took part in the
Tri-Lobster triathlon last year.
Senior athlete shows no signs of slowing down at Tri-Lobster triathlon

JOURNAL PIONEER
SUMMERSIDE
Summerside’s Tri-Lobster
triathlon kicked into high gear
Sunday, with more than 120
athletes competing in swim-
ming, biking, and running
events.
The endurance race challen-
ges participants both physically
and mentally. But what is re-
markable is that the oldest ath-
lete, Kevin Farrell, 72, showed
no signs of slowing down.
“I take a look at the other
people around me, like I look at
the kids that are getting ready
for the P.E.I. triathlon team,
and I see them as an inspira-
tion,” said Farrell. “They work
so hard.”
Farrell, from Summerside,
continued, “I see the other run-
ners and swimmers who are ser-
iously injured, and watch them
come back within a few months
and my aches and pains don’t
even compare to what they
went through, and that’s where
I draw my strength from.”
Under clear blue sky, Farrell
completed a duathlon – 20-kilo-
metre bike race and 2.5-kilo-
metre sprint to the finish line.
He already has his sights set on
his next challenge.
Farrell will compete in the
duathlon world championships
in Penticton, B.C. in August.
“I train six days a week and
I have Dave Perry, who I really
appreciate, and he comes up
twice a week and paces me on
my five-kilometre run. I also
train in the Cavendish hills on
my bike, and go at least twice a
week for the minimum of two or
three hours,” he explained.
After a long career in the
Armed Forces, Farrell is fam-
iliar with discipline and hard
work.
“I had a physical every six
months, so I was fit. Although
when I got away from it, I got
lazy. And I was a late person
going to university, but started
running there and just kept it
up until my knee started to get
bad last May.”
He grinned, “Even though it
was a hard run (Sunday), I will
still be training (Monday).”
Standard triathlon
Steve Reeves, from Freetown,
was the winner of the men’s
standard triathlon. He got
hooked into the sport for a very
different reason.
“I got into this sport after a
friend dared me to do a triath-
lon in Nova Scotia. At the time
I didn’t have any running shoes,
so I borrowed from my brother-
Steve Reeves, from Freetown, was the winner of the men’s standard triathlon in the Tri-Lobster triathlon in Sum-
merside on Sunday.
Distances
Standard –1,500-metre swim,
40-kilometre bike, and 10-kilo-
metre run.
Sprint – 750-metre swim,
20-kilometre bike, and five-
kilometre run.

metre run.
in-law, and then I rented a bi-
cycle and went over and did it,”
he laughed.
Since then, seven years ago,
Reeves has participated –and
excelled – in triathlons every
year.
“We have a super group here
in the Summerside area, and
we are all great friends and
train together. We have a lot of
laughs and are all different ages
and occupations,” he said.
Donna Johnston, from Mon-
tague, was encouraging athletes
from the sidelines. She partici-
pated in the annual race last
year, and inspired two of her
friends to compete on Sunday.
Johnston offered some sage
advice: “It is a challenging race,
but you have to realize that you
are in it for yourself and your
own race. Unless you are in the
upper levels and are racing and
competing, you have to keep
calm and remember – it’s your
race and your race only.”
Marian Grant, organizer of
the Tri-Lobster triathlon, said,
“We have an aquathlon this
year – 750-metre swim and
a 10-kilometre bike, but they
don’t run. So it gives everyone
the opportunity to participate.

Q HARNESS RACING
‘Hobby horsemen’ realize a dream
Red Isle Racing partners with Allard, MacRae with Governor’s Plate winner
BY JASON SIMMONDS
JOURNAL PIONEER
SUMMERSIDE
An innocent comment paved
the way for a group of “hobby
horsemen” from the Kensing-
ton area to realize a dream.
That is winning Prince Coun-
ty’s most prestigious stan-
dardbred race – the $22,000
Governor’s Plate, presented by
Summerside Chrysler Dodge –
at Red Shores at Summerside
Raceway on Saturday night.
“It was kind of a fairy tale
story,” said Matt MacKay, who
assembled the 11-member Red
Isle Racing group.
“All the dots connected, and
it went from a simple joke into
winning the Governor’s Plate.
It’s a pretty remarkable feel-
ing.”
MacKay has owned horses
for 12 years, and recalled a busi-
ness conversation he had with
Rene Allard, who is known as
one of the top trainers in har-
ness racing.
“Rene wanted a spot for the
summer for Governor’s Plate
and Old Home Week, and he
also wants to retire here,” said
MacKay. “I ended up being
his realtor, and Rene ended
up buying a house a couple of
doors down from me (in North
Granville).
“The inside joke is I would
look after his house if he found
me a horse for the Gold Cup
and Governor’s Plate. It was a
running joke for three or four
months, and one day he called
me and said, ‘I found you a
horse.’”
This is where the four-year-
old bay gelding Do Over Han-
over enters the story.
Q BASEBALL
Dodgers believe surge is sustainable Atlantic Sires Stakes’
BY STEVEN WINE
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIAMI
Clayton Kershaw’s notion
that the past five extraordinary
weeks are the new norm for the
Los Angeles Dodgers seems to
be taking hold.
Going into the All-Star break,
Kershaw suggested the Dodg-
ers’ surge might not be a surge
at all, but a sustainable pace.
Then his team began the second
half of the season with a three-
game sweep at Miami last week-
end.
The NL West leaders start a
two-game series at the White
Sox on Tuesday with a nine-
game winning streak and base-
ball’s best record at 64-29 (.688).
They have won 29 of their past
33 games (.879).
That’s some surge. Or not.
“We’ve been pretty good all
year,” third baseman Justin
Turner said. “To say it’s a five-
week thing I don’t think is fair
to the team.”
If the Dodgers play .879 ball
the rest of the year, they would
finish with 125 wins. Don’t tell
them they won’t.
“Clayton’s quote about, ‘Are
we on a hot streak, or is this
just who we are?’ - I never really
thought about it that way, but
I’m starting to think maybe this
is just who we are,” unbeaten
left-hander Alex Wood said
with a laugh. “We have a dif-
ferent guy doing it every night,
whether it’s pitching or one of

Never count out Roger
Federer. Seems obvious, right?
Especially after he won his re-
cord-breaking eighth Wimble-
don championship and second

gent season.
There have been times,
though, when folks wondered
whether he was done winning
major tournaments.
He was getting older. He went

Ownership group
MacKay reached out to his
“hobby horsemen” friends, and
within 24 hours Red Isle Racing
was formed and partnered with
Allard and Steven MacRae of
Vernon Bridge. Red Isle Racing
is comprised of both veterans
and newcomers to the industry.
“Some of them have been
hobby horsemen for 20, 30
years, and never had this
chance (racing in a race like
the Governor’s Plate),” added
MacKay. “There are a few who

the guys in the lineup. It has
been incredible.”
The Dodgers’ record merits
comparisons to their teams
in 1977 and 1955, both World
Series clubs. They’re 35 games
above .500 for the first time
since ‘77, and the record at the
93-game mark is their best since
‘55.
Why all the winning? Among
the many reasons are Kershaw,
Wood, Kenley Jansen , Yasiel
Puig and Cody Bellinger.
– The Dodgers are 55-18
(.753) since Bellinger was pro-
moted from the minors. He has
26 homers and on Saturday be-
came the first rookie in the 128-
phies - first Rafael Nadal, then
Novak Djokovic, then Andy
Murray.
Even Federer himself began
to wonder.
He took the last half of 2016
off to let his surgically repaired
left knee heal properly and
has returned to the top of the
game. First, he ended his Slam
drought by winning the Aus-
tralian Open in January.
Then, after skipping the
French Open, he raised his
major total to 19 by winning
Wimbledon without a drop-
ping a set, finishing the fort-

Kensington U15 girls win Codiac tournament
Murphy nets winner in extra time; Larter records shutouts
MONCTON, N.B.
The Kensington under-15 Pre-

Kensington would go on to
preserve that lead through the

“It was a total team effort,”
said Blair Murphy, who coaches
the Kensington squad along
with Ron Mulligan.
“Every girl played extremely

Murphy also pointed out that

Local lad Fleetwood back at Birkdale

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SOUTHPORT, ENGLAND
He is the poster boy of the

flowing hair and stubbly face
adorning the banners draped
across lamp-posts on the ap-

Tommy Fleetwood has the
looks of a rock star and the
popularity of one in this seaside
town in northwest England, es-
pecially this week.
Golf’s oldest major is back
in Southport for the first time
since 2008 and, in Fleetwood,
one of the sport’s rising stars,
the locals have one of their own
to cheer for.
“I’ll have the most support
I’ve ever had in my life, from
people I’ve grown up with,
friends, family, you name it,”
Fleetwood said on Monday. “It’s
going to be a different experi-
ence, for sure.”
Growing up, Fleetwood lived

quality to a golf-loving kid who
dreamed of winning the Open
Championship from the age of
5.
He’d play at the local muni-
cipals — Southport, Formby
Hall, and Southport & Ainsdale,
where he’d sweep the paths -
and would get on Birkdale only
when accompanying his father,
Peter, on evening dog walks.
“I might have bunked on the
odd time and hit the odd shot,”
Fleetwood recalled. “But that
was about as far as it goes.”
The first British Open he went
to watch was at Royal Birkdale
in 1998. He remembers de-

To a former coach and men-

sentimental pick this week but
a logical one.
“He’s the player in form, he’s
one of the best players in the
world, and he’s playing a course
he knows,” Jim Payne told The
Associated Press. “Some people
talk about pressure he’ll be
under but I don’t see that. I only
think he can do well. It’s set up
for him, really.”
Payne recalls Fleetwood
being 10 or 11 when he met him
for the first time, and young
Tommy playing “like someone
who was three years older.”
“This might not sound right,
but he was bothered,” Payne
said, pausing to find the correct
words.
“If it didn’t work out, he
wanted to do something about
it. Some people just accept if it
wasn’t good or it wasn’t a win,
but he was always striving to
get better.”

Q MAKING HISTORY
Women’s box lacrosse
makes North American
Indigenous Games debut
BY JOHN CHIDLEY-HILL
THE CANADIAN PRESS
HAGERSVILLE, ONT.
It was like any other game
at Iroquois Lacrosse Arena.
Family and friends dotted the
orange and purple stands. Fans
pounded drums and whooped
with every crosscheck or goal.
Impatient spectators shouted
“shoot the damn thing!” if a
player held on to the ball for too
long.
But history was made as On-
tario beat British Columbia 8-7
on Monday morning in the first-
ever women’s box lacrosse game
at the North American Indigen-
ous Games, a youth multi-sport
event.
“I felt really proud, it felt really
awesome to be part of it,” said
Ontario forward Shawnah Al-
bert after the game. “The open-
ing ceremony gave me chills.”
Added her teammate Shku-
hnodin Shognosh-Myers: “We
felt really connected with our
people. It made us feel like
home.” The game between trad-
itional lacrosse powerhouses
Ontario and B.C., as well as a
game played between Saskatch-
ewan and Eastern Door and the
North at the same time at nearby
Gaylord Powless Arena, marks a
turning point in the sport.
Created by the Haudeno-
saunee people — commonly
called the Iroquois — before
Europeans arrived in North
America, lacrosse has been
adopted by First Nations across
the continent as something of
a national sport. The Haudeno-
saunee consider lacrosse to be
sacred and refer to it as “the Cre-
ator’s game” or “the medicine
game” and they believe it has
physical and spiritual healing
powers.
Iroquois Lacrosse Arena and
Gaylord Powless Arena are in

the territory of the Six Nations of
the Grand River, the largest First
Nations reserve in Canada, and
the only one in North America
that has all six Haudenosaunee
nations living together. As such,
the territory is considered by
many to be the home of lacrosse.
“Lacrosse, to us, is life,” said
B.C. head coach Savanna Smith.
“To be in the birthplace of la-
crosse is just unbelievable. No
words can explain it. Some of the
girls were over the moon when
they heard that they’d get to play
at Iroquois Arena.”
Traditionally a training ex-
ercise for warriors, some First
Nations reserves still don’t allow
women to play the indoor ver-
sion of lacrosse, although the
tamer outdoor version of the
sport has been open to women
for decades.
“With more girls playing field
lacrosse, it helped open things
up for box lacrosse,” said On-
tario head coach Pat Pembleton.
“To me, it’s the Creator’s game,
it’s the game of medicine and it’s
important because women are
leaders in our community.
“For me, it’s special and it’s
even more special to be with
these girls and see the sweat
they’ve put in.”
Although all the players were
under 19, the magnitude of the
game wasn’t lost on them. After
the game both teams met at
the centre of the floor to shake
hands and congratulate each
other, with some players asking
their parents and coaches if they
could exchange gifts.
“When I’m playing it’s just an-
other game, have fun, do your
best,” said B.C.’s Naomi Plant,
who had never played in a box
lacrosse game until Monday.
“But before and after the game
I feel like ‘wow, you’re actually
doing this, the first time in NAIG
history.”’

Q HEALTH

Yoga for back pain

In one episode of the TV show
“Louie,” comedian Louis C.K.’s
character is suffering from back
pain.
His doctor says there’s noth-
ing he can do to ease the dis-
comfort, because “the back isn’t
done evolving yet ... it’s gonna
take another, I’d say, 20,000
years to get straightened out.”
The only thing the doc suggests
is that Louie try “walking” on all
fours.
Wrong! There’s a lot you can
do to feel better! Ninety percent
of low-back pain can be eased
or banished completely using
stress management, exercise
and meds, such as nonsteroidal
anti-inflammatories and/or
muscle relaxers.
Employment Employment Your first move: Stress man-
agement, followed by physical
therapy. But don’t worry if your

and
Roizen
insurance doesn’t cover it. You
may pay for one session out-of-
pocket ($75 to $125) to learn
basic stretches you can do at
home, or you can try yoga.
According to a study in the
Annals of Internal Medicine,
yoga, which combines stress
management and physical
activity, is just as effective as
physical therapy for easing back
pain, improving movement and
reducing use of pain medica-
tions.
Researchers followed 320
people with back pain for 12
weeks.
The participants received PT,
weekly yoga classes or educa-
tional materials on back pain.
By the end, both the yoga and
PT groups had equally benefi-
cial outcomes — and benefits
lasted for a year after the study!
Tip: If you decide to try yoga,
tell your instructor about your
back problems, and discuss
what you can/should or can’t/
shouldn’t do.
You also can find online vid-
eos with yoga routines tailored
to back pain.

The cast members of the French dinner-theatre show “V’nez veiller” at the Acadian Musical Village in Abram-Village are busily rehearsing their parts

What happens when a semi-

The result is a momentous

Two performances featuring
Ivan and Vivian Hicks from New

Thursday and Friday, July 20

7 Ceilidh season.
Normally, the ceilidhs run
every Thursday beginning at
7:30 p.m. at St. Mark’s Hall in
Burton. However, an extra show
has been added for this coming
week to allow more fans to enjoy
the music of these perform-
ers who are distinguished for
their contribution to preserve
and promote old-time fiddling
throughout North America.
Their music has roots steeped
in tradition and their approach
to getting it into the hearts and
minds of people is modern and
innovative. They support school
children to learn the violin and
invite entire motor coaches of
music lovers into their home
in New Brunswick. Their down-

“I’ll readily admit that I was
a huge fan of the TV show
‘Three’s Company,’ so you can
expect to see some of that type
of comedy in my new play,”
said Arsenault. “You’ll see cases
of mistaken identity, people

physical comedy.”
