Woman Tries To Smuggle Man Into US TORONTO: A Toronto-area settlement worker could face jail time in the United States after at- tempting to smuggle a failed refugee claimant across the border in the trunk of her car. Court documents show Donna Pham pleaded guilty this week to one count of conspiracy to defraud the U.S., an offence that carries a maximum sentence of five years behind bars and a $250,000 fine. However, the documents indicate that because Pham has accepted responsibility and has one or fewer prior convictions, her sentence is likely to range between six and 12 months, with a fine of $4,000 to $40,000. Pham and a friend drove to the Rainbow Bridge border crossing in Niagara Falls, NY, just after noon on Jan. 6. During the inspection, a border ard found a man in the trunk of Pham’s car. The man, identified as M.P., was a citizen of Senegal and had twice been refused non-immigrant visas at the U.S. consulate in Dakar. His refugee claim in Canada had also been denied and he was ordered to leave Canada by Jan. 7. An unidentified co-conspirator in Canada had arranged for M.P. to be smuggled into the U.S. in Pham’s car. www.WeeklyVoice.com Front/National Friday, March 1, 2019 | A-5 Scheer Asks PM To Resign Over SNC Lavalin Issue Wilson-Raybould Says She Was Pressured; Trudeau Touts Ottawa’s Record In Defending Jobs

2019 Ford Edge ST - Sporty Look

By Nauman Farooq

The “ST” badge -which stands for, Sports Technologies- has been fitted to various Ford models for over two decades, first appearing on the European market Mondeo ST24 sedan in 1997. A version of it was sold in the North American market, where it was called the Ford Contour SVT. Since then, the “ST” badge has shown up on plenty of Focus and Fiesta models around the world, and for the last few years, you could walk into Ford showroom in Canada and buy a Fiesta ST or a Focus ST. Starting in 2019, you can now buy a Ford Edge ST – so the question is, is this crossover worthy of wearing an “ST” badge? Styling: From an appearance point of view, Ford’s design- ers have done a fairly good job of dressing up the humdrum Apart from the minor touches, ing my skin.

For Car News, Reviews, Test Drives And Great Deals voice automobile www.WeeklyVoice.com auto Friday, March 1, 2019 | B-9 Edge ST Does Not Really Deliver Driving Thrills Continued from page 8 within a minute you’ll be so an- noyed, that you’ll switch it out of “S” mode and drive in “D” mode. Handling is the same, it is too heavy to be fun on back roads, and the stiffer springs mean you just bounce and crash on less than perfectly smooth surfaces.To me, the whole point of an “ST” is to get a vehicle that is fun to drive, and this Edge ST just isn’t. Fuel Economy: In my test cycle (170 km of highway driving + 130 km of city driving) the Edge ST consumed 12.7 L/100 km. Ac- cording to Ford, it should achieve 11.0 L/100 km, which I don’t think will be easy to achieve, unless you drive very softly; in the real world, my figure is probably as good as it gets, which means, it isn’t as fuel efficient as most of its competitors. Pricing: Current base price for then, you get what you pay for! guaranteed to put a smile on your planned for next year, a further events! And to answer the ques- the Edge ST is $47,699.

Big Bloomers: Beauties For Your Garden (NC) If you’re heading to the nursery this spring, look for large- blooming plants that provide a big splash of colour. Here are five recommendations from the garden experts at Harrowsmith magazine. Peonies. Although they have a short blossom time, each plant produces masses of large, often fragrant blooms, suitable for cutting and bringing indoors. Peonies are relatively free of pests and diseases. They are extremely winter hardy and when they are not in bloom, they produce clean, strong, dark green foliage that stands up to the summer heat. Hydrangeas. The Endless Summer series of hydrangea, which flowers from late July through early October, provides great value. All hydrangeas hold their flowers over the winter so you can leave them intact as fodder for foraging songbirds during the winter months. The spent flowers gather snow when it falls softly, adding some winter interest to your garden.
