Severe storm swamps city about 2 p.m. and then began to escalate into a rage so that an hour later, it was in full force. Similar heavy downpours were realized in several other Central Alberta communities, including Olds, Rocky Mountain House and Stettler, plus a small tornado was reported west of Didsbury.

Drains could not keep up with the quick downpour across many locations

BY LAURA TESTER ADVOCATE STAFF A torrential downpour stormed through Central Alberta on Tuesday, quickly flooding numerous parking lots, streets and businesses in Red Deer within an hour.

The severe thunderstorm started at

in Red Deer.

A couple of vehicles were observed floating at 51st Avenue and 47th Street.

A City of Red Deer Environmental Services vacuum truck responded to that scene to clean up the excess.

Environmental Services manager Tom Warder said the city received about 14 calls from the intense storm.

“There were some reports of flood-

ing in downtown businesses and if there are any blockages, our guys will address them,” said Warder late Tuesday afternoon.

Some businesses had to temporarily shut down because of flooding, including Real Canadian Superstore in the downtown.

A gooey mix of oil and sand are held back by a floating boom.

Big cleanup still left

BY JESSICA JONES ADVOCATE STAFF ON THE RED DEER RIVER — Despite almost a month of cleanup efforts, significant oil deposits still blanket channels and tributaries after a pipeline ruptured underneath the Red Deer River.

“The more we work, the more we find,” said a worker who was mopping up oil by hand with an absorbent pad along the Red Deer River shoreline on Tuesday.

The task is proving difficult as the river has receded about one and a half metres since the spill. A line of residual oil can still be seen in the backwaters, marking how high the river was at the time of the spill.

Mountain View County councillor Paddy Munro took the Advocate for a river tour on Tuesday between the Garrington Bridge and upstream to the spill site north of Sundre.

PLEASE RECYCLE

Numerous workers were seen cleaning up the mess.

On June 7, up to 3,000 barrels (475,000 litres) of light sour crude oil was released into the Red Deer River from a ruptured Plains Midstream pipeline about one km north of Sundre.

“The issue is that it (the oil) is way back in the channels,” Munro said.

“I think they have identified 30 or 40 sites where it is like that.”

An odour can still be detected along the channels and tributaries where mini booms have been set up.

A swath of oil is still collecting at the booms near the original spill site north of Sundre. Peat moss has been spread over some of the oil deposits along the channels.

“My concern is that the oil is spread out all over the flood plain so it’s going to be extremely difficult to get it all cleaned up,” Munro said.

“When you go down the main river, you only really see the oil if there

is a high bank but the oil has spread over huge areas.

“Can they even clean it all up? I’m not sure if they can.”

Plains reports that 317 cleanup personnel are working at nine locations and continue to monitor booms, cut and bag vegetation and remove woody debris.

“One of my big concerns is that we have to get our regulator, the ERCB (Energy Resources Conservation Board) to actually start functioning as a regulator,” Munro said.

“They have to be tough enough to enforce the regulations and when you have pipe that is 46 years old, you really need to monitor it.”

Two Red Deer fishermen whose jet boat quit and capsized on Thursday spent about 30 hours waiting for help on the banks of the Taku River in northern British Columbia.

“A couple of lucky boys,” said Jamie Tait, a helicopter pilot from Atlin, B.C., who found the pair after their boat was spotted by Yukon bush pilot Jim Brooks.

The fishermen, who did not want to be identified, were meeting up with their group of sport fishermen who have regularly fished in the area for years.

Tait said they told him their boat, flipped on the remote river almost instantly after the motor quit in a spot where the river flowed into a rock and rolled back on itself.

The men, who Tait estimated to be in their mid-50s, were forced to swim to shore. They were separated in the water and reached the shore about 1.5 km apart.

“Neither one knew the other was alive,” said the helicopter pilot with Ascent Helicopters.

One went into the water wearing chest waders.

Tait said the fisherman wasn’t sure he was going to make it.

“The ice chest went by and he was able to grab onto that and use it for flotation.”

Each spent the night in the rain, stranded in a windy area.

After many years flying fixed-wings, it was the first time Tait has been involved in a helicopter rescue.

While manoeuvring his helicopter down the river, he found a life-jacket stuck on a branch along in the trees.

“When I found the life-jacket, one of the guys came out of the bush. There he was.”

Immigrant women’s association receives federal funding

DISNEYLAND BOUND

$300,000 OVER THREE YEARS TO HELP WOMEN FACING EMPLOYMENT CHALLENGES

BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF Central Alberta Immigrant Women’s Association is receiving $300,000 in federal funding over three years to help immigrant women in the Red Deer, Ponoka, Olds and Lacombe area who face employment challenges.

CAIWA will work with community partners to develop and implement a plan to promote the economic security and prosperity of immigrant women in Central Alberta.

Funding was approved in March and consultation has begun to identify gaps and barriers and existing opportunities.

“First of all, we want to find out why. What exactly are the issues the immigrants are having in Central Alberta?” said Halima Ali, CAIWA executive director, on Tuesday.

In the second year, a community plan will be developed that will be implemented and assessed in the third year.

Ali said the association will connect with service agencies, businesses and Red Deer College to identify resources for immigrant women’s employment and find ways to overcome barriers to their full participation.

The three-year project is one of the initiatives funded by the federal government through Status of Women Canada and its Women’s Program after a call for proposals in 2011 under the theme Women Living in Rural and Remote Communities and Small Urban Centres.

More than $14 million is funding 55 projects across the country. szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com

STORIES FROM A1

STORM: Shopping malls also affected Shopping malls were also affected by the heavy rains.

Dan Hachey, general manager of Parkland Mall, said rainwater gushed up from the drains and into some of the stores.

Pooling of water also occurred in the westside parking lot.

Hachey wasn’t aware of any extensive damage inside stores since the water was contained to floor levels. No shops closed as a result.

“There wasn’t severe damage. It was just unfortunate that a torrential downpour with hail plugs up drains,” said Hachey.

Red Deer Emergency Services fire-medics were called out to two reports in the city, including one at 3 p.m. of smoke inside the Empire Building along 48th Street and just off 49th Avenue.

Platoon chief Pat Mulrooney said there was some smoke likely due to a short circuit as a result of heavy flooding in the basement.

The power was shut off in the building and tenants were asked to evacuate. The African Centre was among the several businesses that are located in the basement.

A vacuum truck was brought in to clean up the water.

“The buildings on either side were fine,” Mulrooney said.

Ruth Eastman, a clinical hypnotherapist and counsellor who works on the second floor, said the rainstorm was so loud she could hardly hear her clients talking. She was evacuated and as a result she could not see any clients, including one who had driven two hours to get there.

A tree was also reported to be on fire against a

Mulrooney said that the city’s Electrical, Light and Power Department was called out once it was discovered the tree had landed on a power line, but wasn’t on fire. This was at 7156 Park Avenue at about 2:45 p.m.

Down at the Red Deer Golf and Country Club, golfers resumed heading back on the course shortly after skies cleared up.

“The only hardship we’re having is people can’t take the golf carts out now because it’s too wet right now,” said Dave Lachance, food services and clubhouse manager. “Our course tends to drain pretty good.”

Drivers along Hwy 2 slowed down and used their emergency blinkers as the rain and lightning storm continued. Some motorists parked on the highway’s shoulder or underneath overpasses to escape Mother Nature’s brunt.

Environment Canada confirmed a small tornado hit about 13 km south of Olds, west of Didsbury just after 2 p.m.

“Witnesses reported one roof was torn off, numerous trees were thrown around and a barn was damaged,” said Louis Kohanyi, a meteorologist with Environment Canada.

There were also reports of cattle being injured by the tornado, he said.

“Eleven tornadoes on average are reported each year in Alberta,” said Kohanyi.

Didsbury RCMP would only confirm that there had been some “structural damage” done by the tornado.

According to Kevin Heppler, a peace officer with Mountain View County, the tornado touched down around Bergen Road and Range Road 25.

“It didn’t last long and we’re currently assessing the situation,” said Heppler. “We’ve heard trees were down and couple hay sheds, things like that.”

Kohanyi said the storm brought with it some hail measuring five mm in diameter at Red Deer Airport.

Gusts reached up to 70 km/h. In one hour, 10 mm of rain was reported.

Another 10 to 15 mm of rain was expected to occur overnight in Red Deer from another severe thunderstorm that was again expected to move through.

Wind gusts of 60 to 90 km/h were also forecast.

Today’s temperature for Red Deer was expected to reach a high of 18C, cooler than the normal high of 22 C. For anyone experiencing flooding, the City of Red Deer Emergency Services recommends the following: ● Turn off basement faucets and outside gas valve. Shut off electricity if safe to do so. ● Never try to cross a flood area on foot. The fast moving water could sweep you away. ● If you are in a car, try not to drive through floodwaters. Fast moving water could sweep your car away. If your vehicle is caught in fast rising waters, leave it and save yourself and your passengers.

If you have concerns, please contact Environmental Services at 403-342-8750. ltester@reddeeradvocate.com

RESCUE: Help message in sand obscured by trees The fisherman managed to snag the propane stove from the boat after it ended up in the river.

His boat mate waited for help by a rocky cliff. His help message in the sand was mostly obscured by trees, Tait said.

“You have to make a big ‘Help’ sign. We’re talking 100-foot trees. It’s all very coastal.”

Originally, the search was going to start Saturday morning, but on Friday Tait was hired by a drill company to fly within eight km of where the boat was spotted. So he decided to check out the area where the boat was found.

On Tuesday, Tait flew the fishermen back out to their boat to see if they could get it down the river and back home.

“I think they’ll fly in next year.” szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com

Charity runner charged with obstruction

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — An Albertan man attempting to run across Canada for charity was arrested in Quebec for taking his journey along the shoulder of the busy Trans-Canada Highway.

Curtis Hargrove faces a charge of obstructing justice after he refused a police officer’s demand Monday that he get off the autoroute near St-JeanPort-Joli, about 120 kilometres northeast of Quebec City.

Hargrove didn’t understand why he was asked to leave the roadside, particularly since he said other Quebec police patrollers had stopped to talk to him the day before without a hint of a warning.

Right before his arrest, he told police he would keep running regardless. �They said, ‘Well, unfortunately we’ll have to arrest you,’ “ said Hargrove, who’s raising money for a children’s hospital in Edmonton. “I kinda was being stubborn to kinda prove a point that I am doing something for charity.�

The 23-year-old, who has been running about 50 kilometres a day since he left Newfoundland in early May, slipped out of his reflective vest and took off his iPod before police drove him to a station in Quebec City.

Hargrove was handed a Sept. 21 court date and released a few hours later after signing a written promise not to run on the Trans-Canada in Quebec.

The runner’s route through the rest of the province has since been redrawn to follow a secondary highway parallel to the Trans-Canada.

The native of Cold Lake said he understands the officer was just doing his job.

He doesn’t regret his decision, even though he’s facing the prospect of a criminal record. “If I do end up with something over a charity like this, I guess I’ll have to deal with it,� he said Tuesday from the town of St-Romuald, across the St. Lawrence River from Quebec City. “It is unfortunate. I’m doing something for charity — you would think I’d get a little bit of leeway.�

A Quebec provincial police spokeswoman said Tuesday the officer gave Hargrove every opportunity to get off the Trans-Canada and avoid the arrest.

Sgt. Ann Mathieu said police even offered to draw out a route for him on Highway 132, a secondary road. “He refused the options given by the officer — the officer had no other choice but to arrest him,� said Mathieu, who noted the law is in place as a safety measure.

Hargrove said he didn’t have any problems on the Trans-Canada during the first two months of a route, which began in St. John’s and continued through the Maritime provinces.

He felt he was taking the necessary safety precautions by wearing the reflective vest and having an RV accompany him along the way.

Police say attack in which teenage girl killed in Edmonton was random

BRIEFS

Redford pays tribute at unveiling of Famous 5 mural EDMONTON — Alberta Premier Alison Redford is paying tribute to the five women who helped blaze the trail for the rights of women in Canada.

Redford spoke at the unveiling in downtown Edmonton of a mural honouring Emily Murphy, Irene Parlby, Louise McKinney, Henrietta Muir Edwards, and Nellie McClung.

Redford says that, like the Famous Five, women must strive not to just prove they can fill men’s shoes in public life, but also discover unique ways to better society.

The mural, on the side of a building, is a City of Edmonton project.

Opposition Liberal Laurie Blakeman says when it comes to the province honouring the Famous Five, art imitates life.

Blakeman says she and other politicians had to fight to simply get the portraits of the Famous Five hung in the legislature building.

EDMONTON — A 16-year-old boy who’s accused of killing a 16-year-old girl during a break-in in Edmonton is known to police.

Police say the girl died in hospital after being stabbed at a duplex on the city’s north side early Monday morning.

They say the girl and her father were visiting Edmonton from the Grande Prairie area.

Police say the girl was sleeping and woke up when an intruder came into her room. “There were items stolen from her bedroom. When she awokened we believe at that time she was stabbed,� said Staff Sgt. Bill Clarke. “This is a tragic, tragic case. It’s simply sad, the family is obviously extremely devastated.�

The girl’s father woke up around the same time and was able to provide a description of the intruder fleeing the home.

The girl and the accused teen did not know each other and police say the incident was random. “He does not live in this area, he was simply visiting people in this area.� Clarke said.

Curtis Hargrove ties on his running shoes behind his camper Tuesday on a Saint-Romuald Que. shopping centre parking lot. Hargrove faces a charge of obstructing justice because he refused a police officer’s demand Monday that he get off the highway as he was running across Canada for a charity.

“I can tell you that all the neighbours in this area are equally devastated by what has gone on.�

The teen boy, who cannot be identified under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, is charged with second-degree murder, break, enter and commit robbery, and possession of an offensive weapon.

The teen boy’s next court appearance is July 19.

Seniors home staff to stay on job while contract impasse worked out EDMONTON — Unionized support staff at an Edmonton seniors home will not go on strike while a governmentappointed board tries to reach a contract settlement in an impasse over

wages.

About 180 workers at the Devonshire Care Centre had been threatening to set up picket lines after voting last week in favour of job action.

But the Alberta Union of Provincial Employees says it will give a disputes inquiry board time to resolve the situation.

The board was appointed Monday

by Alberta Human Services Minister Dave Hancock, who ordered negotiators for the AUPE and Park Place Seniors Living Inc., back to the bargaining table.

There were questions about whether staff would still walk out the following day as scheduled The board has 30 days to recommend a deal, which the union and management can either accept or reject.

Moral questions aside, airmen deserve a monument London is littered with monuments to those who fought in the wars of the bloody 20th century, for King, Empire and at times democracy.

There’s even one to the animals who served and died in British military service.

Now, finally, the men of Bomber Command, who carried out the allies’ least-loved campaign of the Second World War, have their well-deserved memorial.

It comes fully 67 years after the guns fell silent, and for good reason.

Even during the war there was misgiving about the policy of saturation bombing of German cities adopted by Air Marshall Sir Arthur “Bomber” Harris.

That grew into revulsion when it

OTHER VOICES became clear that something like half a million German civilians had died — not as a result of what we now call “collateral damage,” but due to deliberate targeting of city centres in an unsuccessful effort to break the will of the enemy.

There was no campaign medal for the aircrews and for many years no honours for Harris.

It took until now for a private campaign involving such high-profile figures as the late Bee Gee, Robin Gibb, to build the elaborate memorial on the edge of Green Park in central London that was formally unveiled last week by the Queen.

The moral dilemma of the bombing campaign — is killing hundreds of thousands of civilians justified in the cause of defeating an unalloyed evil like Naziism? — will never be resolved.

Canadians went through that debate 20 years ago when the CBC aired a documentary, The Valour and the Horror, that confronted the brutal reality of bombing defenceless civilians.

None of that, however, detracts from the heroism of the 125,000 men, about 10,000 of them Canadian, who served in Bomber Command.

The Green Park memorial is dedicated to the 55,573 who died. Another 18,000 were wounded or taken prisoner, for an appalling casualty rate of 60 per cent — the highest of any service.

Their average age was just 22, and they did what they were told to do at a time when London and other British cities were being mercilessly bombed from the other side.

Mike Lewis, a Canadian pilot, put it this way in a new British documentary about the campaign: “You can’t have experienced the Blitz without getting a very natural human reaction of wanting to punch back.

“So I punched back.”

The old men who drew up the plans to decimate Dresden and Hamburg have answered for their deeds.

The young men who flew the planes and dropped the bombs deserve their moment of official recognition, at last.

From the Toronto Star.

140 characters, and a force for national unity As midnight tolled on Parliament Hill on the 1987 night when the pieces of the Meech Lake constitutional accord were stitched together, the First Ministers negotiating inside the Langevin building and the journalists waiting for them on the sidewalk fell off the radar together.

With radio and television stations signing off for the night, with newspapers about to be put to bed across the country, little of the talks would transpire until the next morning.

In those days, the media cycle still came with a pause button.

As it happened, the marathon meeting did CHANTAL not break until sunrise.

HÉBERT In its aftermath, that would be one of the few things those who participated in the fiery Meech Lake debate would continue to agree about.

Over the next three years, the same set of basic facts evolved into one of the most divisive stories ever put to the country.

It haunts us still.

Whenever I contemplate the proposition that the 24/7 news environment and the chatter of the social media have shattered any hope of a constructive national conversation, I remind myself of the dialogue of the deaf that took place between the 1987 negotiation and demise of Meech.

Far from bridging the Quebec/ROC divide, the media - in both official languages - often made it larger.

Malice was not involved, but reciprocal ignorance certainly was at play. That ignorance was nurtured behind the firewalls of a highly compartmentalized media universe.

By the time the accord failed in June 1990, it was possible to watch its death throes in the legislatures of Manitoba and Newfoundland and Labrador and in the hallways of Parliament from a television set at the Calgary Liberal convention that picked Jean Chrétien as leader.

It did not have the scope of the fall of the Berlin Wall, but it was the beginning of an overdue breakdown of the silos within which most journalists who report on Canada’s political life had operated.

Two decades later, the last debris of those silos are being cleared away by social media. The result is

a rougher but more true-to-life environment.

When I joined Twitter nine months ago, I was faced with an unexpected existential question.

I knew I had no wish to tweet as if I were writing on flip sides of a bilingual cereal box but I was not sure whether I should converse in French or English.

I am a full-time columnist at the Star and enjoy a prime-time spot on the CBC but I am also very much part of the Radio-Canada family and I have found cozy second homes in the pages of Le Devoir and L’Actualité.

That makes me neither totally an insider nor a tourist in either the French or the English-language media world.

That is also true in real life. A francophone whose formative years were spent in Toronto before becoming an adopted Montrealer in midlife — I have had a foot on each side of the French-English line for a long time.

There are those who suggest that to be a bit of an outsider in two parallel political universes means that one has a stake in neither. I have found the reverse proposition to be ore true.

In the end, I opted not to choose a default Twitter language. Since September, I have been tweeting in-

LETTERS Uphold the right to enjoy smoke-free areas by a nose Last week I was encouraged to see that a young mother had spoken out against people smoking in parks where children were playing.

I, too, am a person who is appalled by people who still smoke in public places children are known to frequent. One such place is the Saturday Public Market.

Any other place in the city where food is served outside, including our new Ross Street patio, is currently protected from such anti-social behaviour by the smokefree bylaw. I can go to any outside patio in the city that is attached to a restaurant, lounge or bar and be assured that I will be able to enjoy a smoke-free atmosphere.

Unfortunately, both the city bylaw and the provincial laws on this matter require a physical building (i.e., restaurant or bar) to be associated with the area in order for this protection to be applied.

This leaves a huge loophole that some of the one in five people who are smokers take advantage of. I have even seen one individual at the local children’s street festival that was walking around leading a three-yearold girl in one hand and holding a smouldering cigar in

What was he thinking? Obviously he wasn’t thinking about what a bad example he was setting for his daughter and the other children. Nor was he thinking about the number of people whose day he was spoiling because his smoke was ruining the flavour of the treats that they were enjoying.

That is why I have written a letter to the mayor and councillors of Red Deer asking them to update the current bylaw.

I would like to see any outside place where food is served or where children could reasonably be expected to be in attendance (festivals, parades, parks, etc.) to be included in the City bylaw prohibiting public smoking.

I am asking all like-minded people to write to our council and tell them that it is time to take the next logical step and include these areas. The City administration is presently gathering information on this subject and your views will heavily influence whether council will revise the bylaw.

Council is making this decision on July 16 so please do not hesitate to make your views known.

I know that there will be a negative response from the one in five people who still smoke as they cry that their rights are being eroded.

To them I would suggest that they remember the words of Benjamin Franklin who said, “My neighbour’s right to swing his fist ends where my nose begins.”

Oda resigns under a cloud

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — As one door swings shut on an embattled cabinet minister’s political career, another opens for Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

International Co-operation Minister Bev Oda’s resignation Tuesday gives the prime minister the space he needs for a cabinet shuffle this summer.

While regional and gender sensibilities are always at play when Harper decides to move around his ministers, he’s often hamstrung by political sensibilities demanding he not appear to be busting loyal captains down to the rank of private.

Even captains like Bev Oda. Her spending habits became national water-cooler talk earlier this year after The Canadian Press revealed she had rejected one five-star hotel in London for another more luxurious establishment at more than double the cost.

She had also hired a luxury car and driver for an average of $1,000 per day. Details of her expenses were obtained via the Access to Information Act. The revelations sparked an intense week of criticism in the Commons and on the doorsteps. Oda repaid the difference in rooms, the limousine service, and the cost of a $16 glass of orange juice.

While there were calls for her to be moved out of cabinet in the summer shuffle, her resignation allows Harper to avoid being seen as punishing her for mistakes that were in danger of giving his caucus a

permanent black eye.

Oda advised the prime minister two weeks ago that she was stepping down.

Her departure will force the prime minister to call a byelection in the suburban Toronto riding of Durham within six months.

She did not say why she was resigning and her office said Oda was not available for comment.

“As the minister for international co-operation, I have had the opportunity to witness the hardships of the world’s Bev Oda most vulnerable peoples and have witnessed the great compassion of Canadians for those in need,” Oda said in a statement posted on her website.

“I am grateful for the support of my staff and colleagues in the House of Commons and Senate. I wish to express my appreciation to the prime minister and his cabinet for their outstanding leadership.”

Harper returned the sentiment in his own statement.

“Bev has made a significant contribution to her riding, her province and her country since her election to Parliament in 2004,” Harper said.

“Under Bev’s guidance, Canada has led a significant initiative to save the lives of mothers, children

and newborns in the developing world...Through Bev’s leadership, Canada has also met, ahead of schedule, its commitment to double aid to Africa.

“This is a record of which to be proud.”

Oda’s resignation is effective at the end of July, fuelling greater speculation that a shuffle could take place in August.

End-of-session resignations from caucus prompted two minor cabinet shuffles in 2007 and 2010. Opinions are split as to whether the coming change will be a gentle jiggling of responsibilities or a full scale sweep.

The name most often bandied about to replace Oda has been Chris Alexander, a former ambassador to Afghanistan turned politician who has distinguished himself as parliamentary secretary to the minister of defence.

Industry Minister Christian Paradis shrugged when asked Tuesday about the possibility of a shuffle.

“It’s the prerogative of the prime minister,” he said.

Paradis wouldn’t comment on whether Oda’s departure can stop the criticism being heaped on the government for lavish spending.

But the Opposition said the Tories were crazy if they though it was over.

“If Stephen Harper thinks a single resignation or a cabinet shuffle will make his ethics problems go away, he is sorely mistaken,” said NDP MP Alexandre Boulerice.

Rescued aid worker eager to return to work TORONTO — A rescued aid worker appears keen to get back to the Kenyan refugee camp from which he and a Canadian colleague were snatched at gunpoint, a spokesman for their aid organization said Tuesday.

Rolf Vestvik, with the Norwegian Refugee Council, said the duo had made no decisions on their next steps, but said it was important they had some quiet time first.

Steven Dennis, 37, of Toronto, and Qurat-Ul-Ain Sadazai, 38, of Gatineau, Que., were among four aid workers snatched at gunpoint from the huge Dadaab refugee camp inside Kenya near the Somalia border on Friday.

A pro-government Somali militia rescued them Monday inside Somalia in a mission that saw one of their captors killed. “(Dennis) sounds like he is mostly keen to go back to Dadaab and continue his work there,” Vestvik said from Oslo.

In the interim, Vestvik said the Canadians were taking a day of rest in Nairobi to recover from their harrowing ordeal.

‘THEY HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN MAKING A LOT OF DECISIONS THE LAST THREE DAYS THAT MEANT LIFE OR DEATH TO THEM, SO THEY’VE BEEN IN AN EXTREMELY STRESSFUL SITUATION.’ —ROLF VESTVIK NORWEGIAN REFUGEE COUNCIL

“They have actually been making a lot of decisions the last three days that meant life or death to them, so they’ve been in an extremely stressful situation,” Vestvik said.

“Even though people seem very good after such an ordeal and also say that they’re OK, it is important for us around them to make sure that they really are OK.” Sadazai has close relatives in Nairobi and has been living there.

Also kidnapped with them were Astrid Sehl, 33, of Norway, and Glenn Costes, 40, a Filipino.

Their Kenyan driver was killed when four gunmen attacked their two-vehicle convoy. The gunmen took one of the two vehicles and the four workers.

EMPLOYEE

The group later abandoned the vehicle and began walking toward the Somali border.

Vestvik said the aid workers were doing some debriefings and were being kept away from the media spotlight.

“We are creating an atmosphere of calm around them so they can have a proper day of rest,” he said, adding they might make media appearances on Wednesday.

Both Dennis and Sadazai were seasoned aid workers and knew the risks.

The Pakistani-born Sadazai had just returned to Kenya — where she had worked from 2007-2010 — in February to become deputy director of the NRC’s operations in Somalia and Kenya.

“We are alive and we are happy this has ended,” Sadazai said after the group landed in Nairobi Monday.

Dennis had worked for the council in Kenya for the past year but also had a lengthy background in humanitarian work with other agencies.

Dadaab is the world’s largest refugee camp with a growing population that has swelled to about 464,000 people.

Police launch criminal investigation into fatal mall roof collapse

OTTAWA — Salah Dau never allowed himself to believe there would be free elections in Libya, not so long as Moammar Gadhafi was alive.

Unable to hold back his emotions Tuesday, Dau wept openly as he cast a ballot for the first time in his life — not in Libya, but in Canada’s capital. “I’ve seen only one regime in my life, 42 years, always (under) a dictatorship,� Dau said after voting at a west-end arena and having his right index finger blotted with ink. “To be able to be free and express myself, express my opinion, to say what I feel about anything, it’s just unimaginable.�

More tears and hugs followed as a group of Libyan-Canadians who were among organizers of the five-day vote cast ballots in an election of a new government and a 200-seat national assembly in Libya.

The voting comes less than a year after the ouster of dictator Moammar Gadhafi at the hands of rebel fighters, aided

by NATO air forces, including fighter jets from Canada.

Canada is among just six countries where Libyans living abroad are able to vote.

The others are the United States, Germany, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan and the United Kingdom.

Dr. Adel Esayed, national director for the voting in Canada, was also emotional after placing his completed ballot in a sealed plastic bin.

Canada was chosen, he said, because the country “contributed to the revolution.�

Sockeye productivity dramatically down in B.C. VANCOUVER — Sockeye salmon spawning on the rivers and streams of Washington state, British Columbia and southeastern Alaska have been producing dramatically fewer adults, especially in the last two decades, a new study suggests.

In one example, the Fraser River’s early Stuart sockeye run dropped to about three adults for

wouldn’t say why it’s not sponsoring rodeo events.

Paris mayor doesn’t take sides after meeting with protesting students QUEBEC — The socialist mayor of Paris sat down with Quebec’s protesting students on Tuesday in a meeting that Premier Jean Charest was quick to play down.

Bertrand Delanoe, who was in Quebec to attend an international forum on the French language, wanted to be briefed on the students’ opposition to tuition fee increases that would still have them paying some of the lowest fees in Canada.

Charest said after a ceremony at the legislature where Delanoe was invested as an officer of the Order of Quebec that the socialist politician was free to meet with representatives of “civil society.� “There was never any question of him condoning anything and on this he was very clear,� Charest told a news conference. “To suggest the opposite would be the opposite of the truth.�

Charest said Delanoe had proved his neutrality on the tuition fee issue by refusing to allow a debate on it by Parisian municipal politicians.

There have been several sympathy demonstrations for the Quebec students in the French capital during the last few weeks.

Delanoe said after the investiture ceremony that he was interested in the students’ side of the debate. “Quebec is a democracy and we do not interfere in the democratic debates of its population,“ he said. “While I was here, I wanted to listen — and I mean listen — to the student associations to try and understand why they took their positions. But of course I am not taking sides.�

Delanoe, who met with leaders of three student groups, didn’t refer to the tuition fee dispute.

Vancouver Humane Society pleased Bell not sponsoring Stampede rodeo CALGARY — Telecommunication giant Bell is not sponsoring any rodeo events at the Calgary Stampede this year, but won’t say whether an animal welfare group’s letter-writing campaign had anything to do with the move.

The Vancouver Humane Society launched the ecampaign in June 2011, urging the public to demand Bell (TSX:BCE) stop sponsoring the rodeo.

The society has long been a critic of the Stampede, saying animals are needlessly harmed in many events.

The campaign included a pre-written letter that could be sent to Bell chief executive George Cope.

Humane Society spokesman Peter Fricker says he hopes the campaign made a difference with Bell.

Bell spokeswoman Jacqueline Michelis says the company is still a sponsor of Calgary’s week-long party, presenting free live entertainment at the Bell Centennial Plaza on the Stampede grounds, but she

ORILLIA, Ont. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; New information has led the Ontario provincial police to deem their probe of a fatal mall roof collapse in Elliot Lake a criminal investigation.

Two women were killed on June 23 when the roof of the Algo Centre Mall caved in and plummeted two floors down into the building.

The provincial police force was assisting the Ontario Chief Coronerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office in its investigation into the deaths of Doloris Perizzolo, 70, and Lucie Aylwin, 37, but â&#x20AC;&#x153;as a result of information obtained,â&#x20AC;? the police said Tuesday they are now also looking into the collapse as a criminal investigation.

Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty announced a public inquiry into the mall collapse Friday following public outcry about why search-and-rescue efforts were called off two days after the accident, only to be restarted hours later after an appeal from McGuinty.

Residents have since complained that the mall was in shabby condition before the cave-in and have questioned the speed at which rescuers tried to reach those trapped in the rubble.

The Ministry of Labour is also conducting an investigation, but has said its probe will not look into the cause of the collapse.

The ministry paid six visits to the mall over the last three years, the latest one being in January when it received a complaint about a leak in the rooftop parking garage.

The inspector went to the site and found it covered in snow, making it difficult to determine the origin of any leaks, a spokesman for Ontario Labour Minister Linda Jeffrey has said. The inspector found no health and safety violations and no orders were issued.

Perizzolo is set to be buried Wednesday at Woodlands Cemetery, located steps away from the waters of Elliot Lake in the western part of the city.

Around Washington state, British Columbia, and eastern Alaska, the storyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been much the same, with some populations dropping below the replacement ratio of one adult per spawning salmon, said Peterman, who is also a fisheries professor at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, B.C. The study, which was published Tuesday in the Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, found there have been â&#x20AC;&#x153;rapid and consistent decreasesâ&#x20AC;? in sockeye salmon productivity in stocks between Puget Sound in Washington state to Alaskaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Yakutat Peninsula.

Grad is about parents, too. Graduate Devika Nair gives her mother Sheela a surprise kiss at the Lindsay Thurber Comprehensive High School graduation at Westerner Park. They joined the other 340 graduates and hundreds of family and friends for the banquet following the convocation ceremony earlier in the day.

Red Deer high schools sent 1,118 graduates out into the world this academic year.

Over the past months, gowns were ordered, dresses and suits carefully selected for the event, dinners were planned, speeches were written and practised and no small number of stretch limousines chartered to round out some grand entrances.

Oh, and there was studying for exams as well.

People endlessly repeat that high school graduation is a start line, not a finish line. But after all the anticipation and preparation that goes into the event, it’s hard not to treat the day with some relief that it’s finally here.

You can think about the rest of your lives tomorrow.

No amount of approval can be enough YOU CANNOT MEASURE YOUR VALUE AS A PERSON BY SEEKING VALIDATION FROM OUTSIDE “As much as we thirst for approval we dread condemnation.” — Hans Selye, pioneering Hungarian endocrinologist “Remember to cite your accomplishments.”

I was one of three presenters during a weekend workshop on self-esteem and personal empowerment.

The leader of the workshop was a trained speaker and presenter. At the time, I had just started my career as a self-esteem author and speaker and thought working with a pro would help me learn the craft and hone my skills.

He had plenty of suggesMURRAY tions for me.

FUHRER “You’re being a little too humble.”

“I don’t understand.”

“You need to earn the right,” he told me.

“Earn the right to . . . what?” I asked.

“To be worthy of speaking to these people, of course.”

I was a little uncomfortable with that piece of advice. My self-esteem in tatters, I had spent most of my life earning the right to be considered worthy: worthy of my father’s approval, worthy of friendship and trust, worthy of being heard, cherished and loved.

You name it; I was always selling myself, and the less interested the recipient, the more effort I put into promoting myself. There was a term for what I was doing — it was called seeking validation, and it was exhausting.

I remember falling in love with a beautiful young woman and trying everything I could think of to have her consider me worthy. Sadly, she wasn’t interested and probably wondered why I kept talking about myself.

I often felt like a child bringing something of value to a parent so she could pat me on the head and tell me I was a good boy. If I went for long periods

EXTREME ESTEEM

of time without a compliment or word of approval, I sank into a state of depression and self-loathing.

Behaviours associated with seeking validation often include constantly looking for the reassurance and approval of others, excessive sensitivity to criticism and disapproval, depression, being overly polite or rapid shifting of opinions when faced with opposition.

I wanted to live life fully — free from guilt and shame — but kept thinking someone else held the key to my sense of self-worth. Back then, even when I received the validation or approval I desired, the “buzz” didn’t last.

It was only a temporary fix and before long I was off in search of another validation hit. It was affecting both my personal and professional life. It took me years to overcome my compulsion and even today I still struggle with it occasionally.

According to experts in the field, our need for validation is a sign of insecurity and must be addressed and overcome if we are ever to accept ourselves and reach emotional maturity. We must learn to satisfy our own needs rather than relying on others to satisfy them for us.

We can start by recognizing irrational beliefs.

A need for approval and praise from everyone we encounter is an irrational belief. If we believe that we need approval in order to love ourselves and feel we have value, we will be depressed and feel worthless every time we don’t receive approval.

To stop these irrational and self-limiting beliefs, we must learn to replace them with new, rational beliefs. An example of a rational belief might be, “Though I appreciate positive feedback from others, it’s not necessary. I can accept myself for who I am.”

Joyce Meyer, author of Approval Addiction: Overcoming your need to please everyone, claims that a constant need for validation stems from insecurity, which, in many cases, is the result of past physical, verbal or emotional abuse. Meyer says that seeking validation (or approval) and the resulting feelings of guilt, shame and anger can be addictive. The more we seek validation, the less validated we feel and the endless cycle begins.

This may actually fuel an unconscious belief that we are unworthy and therefore should be devalued and made to suffer.

Meyer believes that validation-seeking often cov-

ers up and encourages feelings of worthlessness. He notes that confusion lies in our belief that receiving love and approval is the same as having personal worth. If we base our value as human beings on the approval of others, we are in essence saying that self-worth and a sense of personal value are not intrinsic but must be earned.

In fact, others cannot give us intrinsic value — only we can decide to have it.

A big step toward overcoming a need for approval and validation comes from answering the question “What is truly important to me?” I have found another good question to be, “What would I do if I wasn’t afraid?”

A willingness to take calculated risks and to learn from our successes and failures will help us to learn that approval and validation are not based upon perfection. It doesn’t always matter what others think.

What matters is what we think about ourselves. Use this simple realization as a starting point to find acceptance from within.

“To seek approval is to have no resting place, no sanctuary,” wrote Rachel Naomi Remen, American best-selling author and Clinical Professor of Family and Community Medicine at the University of California School of Medicine. “Like all judgment, approval encourages a constant striving. It makes us uncertain of who we are and of our true value. Approval cannot be trusted. It can be withdrawn at any time no matter what our track record has been. It is as nourishing of real growth as cotton candy. Yet many of us spend our lives pursuing it.”

Over time, I came to understand that there was a difference between presenting my qualifications, so as to garner interest and a positive reputation and seeking approval and validation to bolster a poor sense of self.

At the end of the weekend workshop, most people claimed to have enjoyed the presentations and a few even commented that — unlike the other presenters — I was humble, approachable and genuine. Maybe that’s a better strategy for earning the right and ultimately, keeping it.

Local Lions clubs say an international decision to lift a 70-year-old ban on female members is a step in the right direction. “We’re really pleased,” Sunrise Lions Club president Ed Frost said today. “To exclude women in this day and age is a little archaic,” he added. Lions Club International convention in Tapai, Taiwan, Saturday voted 77 per cent in favor of amending their constitution to remove the stipulation members must be male. Women had been barred from the service club since it was formed by a Chicago business group in 1917.

Baseball field fould be built

The Red Deer Elks Club may hold the key to the city getting another adult-sized baseball diamond.

The club, in conjunction with the recreation department and the Westerner Association, plans to explore the possibility of building a baseball diamond at the Westerner grounds. Recreation manager Lowell Hodgson, in a report to city council, says the Elks Club could finance the diamond with the help of a community recreation and culture grant. Mr. Hodgson says the city’s need at present is for a baseball field since only one adult-size field at Great Chief Park and one at River Glen School are operating now.

Province plans sewage in sanctuary: city protests

Tenders were opened by provincial government officials in Red Deer Thursday afternoon for a proposed open sewage lagoon to be situated at the west end of the Gaetz Lake Bird Sanctuary and the R. V. McCullough farm. The lagoon would serve the Deerhome Mental Institution. Mayor Ernest Newman commented Thursday: The city was rather surprised to hear of this sewage lagoon being planned by the provincial government without any consultation with us. Therefore, the city obtained the plans and plotted the location of it and have made overtures to the government that they change their plans and hook up with the present system. It appears that they are now giving the matter serious consideration.”

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SECAUCUS, N.J. — Dale Fjordbotten is a proud My Little Pony fan, with the shiny blue body suit and yellow lightning bolt, blue wings and blue tail to prove it.

Like many “Bronies” — boys and men who like the cartoon My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic— the 25-year-old college student turned out over the weekend for “BronyCon Summer 2012” at the Meadowlands Exposition Center, which drew 4,000 men, women, boys and girls, many in colorful wigs and costumes.

“I thought about what people would say. ’It’s creepy. It’s weird. It’s a ... show for little girls,”’ said Fjordbotten, from Staten Island, N.Y. “It’s just a great show ... the story line, the plot, the beautiful animation.”

Bronies say they’re a misunderstood lot who’ve gotten a bad rap from the media. They’re all about the show, friendship, love and tolerance, and they have no bad intentions, they say.

“I discovered that there’s nothing to be ashamed of being a Brony,” said 19-year-old James Penna of Mastic in Long Island, N.Y. Outside the convention centre, young men danced and sang along with songs from My Little Pony cartoon that blasted from loud speakers as a video screen on a large truck showed the show’s characters. One observer said it almost felt like a Grateful Dead concert.

Inside, vendors sold stuffed ponies, accessories, signs, hats and just about every pony item imaginable. Stars who do the show’s voices signed autographs.

Staff appeared to be a little overwhelmed at times. It was just over a year ago when BronyCon attracted about 100 people to some meeting rooms in New York City.

Now there are thousands of Bronies across the country.

Hasbro released the first My Little Pony toys in 1983, and they led to television specials, a film and the first TV series from 1986 to 1987.

Heirloom vegetables may not be as disease-resistant as many modern cultivars bred specifically for that characteristic, but they are proven survivors, said Sarah Browning, an extension horticulturist with the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

“Heirloom plants were created by gardeners who repeatedly saved seed from the healthiest, most productive and flavourful plants from their garden,” Browning said.

“So inadvertently, these gardeners also selected for disease resistance.”

Once you start growing something, you might want to save a few seeds or choose a variety that has some history or that was grown for years by your own family, Ott Whealy said.

“Saving seeds is saving heritage, and I think it will be done in backyard gardens rather than the corporate kind,” she said.

Lind makes it look easy THREE-RUN HOMER LEADS TORONTO BLUE JAYS OVER ROYALS BRETT MACLEAN

MACLEAN HOSPITALIZED Phoenix Coyotes forward Brett MacLean is in intensive care at a Canadian hospital after the team says he suffered a “cardiac emergency” during a pickup hockey game.

Coyotes General Manager Don Maloney says the 23-year-old MacLean received CPR on Monday night at the rink in Owen Sound, Ont. He was taken to a hospital by ambulance, then transported by air ambulance to Knight University Hospital in London, Ontario where he was admitted to cardiac ICU. MacLean was a Phoenix secondround draft pick in 2007. He played 13 games for the Coyotes in the 2010-11 season.

He was claimed off waivers by Winnipeg, then waived by the Jets.

Phoenix reclaimed MacLean and assigned him to AHL Portland.

BY LARRY MILLSON THE CANADIAN PRESS Toronto 6 Kansas City 3 TORONTO — Besides being more relaxed at the plate since his stint in the minors, Adam Lind is showing better bat speed and better swings.

Swings like the one he put on a 1-1 slider from Vin Mazzaro in the fourth inning Tuesday that resulted in a three-run homer to lift the Toronto Blue Jays over the Kansas City Royals 6-3.

“That was one of the things I worked on when I was down there was being more relaxed and having more rhythm,” Lind said.

Lind hit it against the facing of the second deck to cap a six-run inning and back six strong innings from left-hander Brett Cecil (2-1).

Cecil allowed five hits and three runs in six-plus innings to pick up the win in his fourth start since being recalled from the minors June 15.

It was Lind’s sixth homer of the season and his third since he was recalled from triple-A Las Vegas June 25.

“I think just overall he’s freed up mentally,” Blue Jays manager John Farrell said, “and that’s allowed him to relax and take some of the tension from his body overall and with that relaxation comes bat speed and that’s been the case.”

Lind batted eighth in lineup as designated hitter on Tuesday, as he has since being recalled, while also playing at first base.

“It probably would not be a surprise tomorrow if he’s up a little bit higher in the order,” Farrell said.

They key for Cecil was coming back from allowing three runs in third and then holding the Royals runless despite allowing the first two batters on base in the fourth.

“I think the two most important innings that I had were the fourth inning and the fifth inning,” Cecil said.

“The fourth inning I got the two leadoff guys on and was able to get out of that after

And the team came in and scored six runs after that and I had a shutdown inning after that.”

Mazzaro (3-3) allowed 13 hits and six runs in 5 1/3 innings to take the loss for the Royals (36-43).

Casey Janssen pitched the ninth to earn his 10th save of the season. The four-game series is 1-1.

The Royals took a 3-0 lead in the third when Jason Bourgeois tripled to bring in

Jeff Francoeur and Salvador Perez.

Alex Gordon hit a sacrifice fly to score Bourgeois.

“The balls they hit were good pitches,” Cecil said.

“The curveball to (Bourgeois triple) it was down but on the wrong side of the plate. That was the only pitch that inning I’d like back.”

NHL FREE AGENCY

Jagr signs with Stars SUTER AND PARISE CONTINUE TO PONDER FUTURE

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS While the two biggest stars on the NHL free-agent market were still pondering their futures, a future Hall of Famer found a new home in Texas.

The Dallas Stars signed 40-year Jaromir Jagr to a one-year deal worth $4.55 million on Tuesday.

“He’s still a world-class player,” Stars general manager Joe Nieuwendyk said.

“For us to bring a player like that to our franchise is a big deal.”

Ryan Suter and Zach Parise, however, were not yet ready to pick a team to play for next season and beyond.

“When a young man is asked to commit for 13 years, why is it considered extraordinary to take a few days to make a decision?” Neil Sheehy, Suter’s agent, wrote in an email. “A deal will happen when it happens.”

Parise said Tuesday he still didn’t have a timetable for his decision soon after landing in his home state at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.

“I’m back here to talk with my family and make sure that we’ve done all the work that we need to do make sure we make the

Parise hasn’t met with any teams, one of his agents, Wade Arnott, told The Associated Press. His other agent, Don Meehan, said there was no chance the coveted client would make a decision Tuesday night.

“We will resume tomorrow,” Arnott wrote in a text message Tuesday night.

The New Jersey Devils want their top forward available to re-sign while Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Detroit and Minnesota are among the teams that are trying to lure him away.

Parise said he has been looking at where

he wants to live, where he’ll be happy and what team he wants to play for since hitting the market Sunday. And, he’s looking forward to being done with the process.

“It’s been a stressful couple days,” Parise told the Star Tribune.

The two free agents are both 27 and each has been with only one team during their seven-season careers. Suter has played for the Nashville Predators, who are hoping for a quick answer from him so that they can move onto Plan B if necessary. The Predators aren’t alone.

Olli Jokinen controls the puck in an NHL game in Anaheim, Calif. Jokinen is starting to feel his age after signing with the Winnipeg Jets.

Olli Jokinen is starting to feel his age.

While mulling over a US$9-million, two-year contract offer from the Winnipeg Jets, the 33-year-old centre started examining the team’s roster. And he was surprised with what he saw.

“I looked at the lineup and I think I’m the oldest player on the team right now,” Jokinen said Tuesday after signing the deal. “I’ve always been around older players and more experienced teams.”

In Winnipeg, that role will fall to him. But Jokinen was brought in to be more than just a veteran presence around the dressing room.

The Finn is coming off a 61-point season in Calgary and became the Jets highest-paid forward. Clearly, general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff expects him to provide an offensive boost to a lineup that relies on scoring by committee.

Jokinen is willing to do whatever coach Claude Noel asks of him.

“When you get older, you want to

win and you want to be part of something good,” he said. “I think there’s something good in the players already in Winnipeg. I think they’re a good team.

“Whatever my role’s going to be, I’m going to do the best I can.”

Jokinen’s free-agent decision came down to three teams. He knew his time was up with the Flames as soon as the regular season ended, although he still considers his second stint with that organization successful because of the impact coach Brent Sutter had on turning him into a more effective two-way player.

Many scoffed when Calgary signed Jokinen to a two-year deal in July 2010 — just months after dealing him away at the trade deadline — but he feels he proved the doubters wrong.

“I think the last year and a half I changed my game to be a better overall player,” said Jokinen. “And credit goes to Brent. He (taught) me how to play good in both ends and how to play other teams’ top lines and how to be more helpful to the team.”

STORIES FROM PG B4

AGENTS: Some waiting Second-tier free agents such as defenceman Matt Carle and forward Alexander Semin seem to be waiting for Suter and Praise to sign so that they can offer their talents to teams that don’t get a top target.

Some players, however, have jumped at chances to re-sign or sign in the opening three days of free agency.

Colorado kept defenceman Erik Johnson thanks to a $15 million, four-year deal and New Jersey retained defenceman Bryce Salvador with a $9.5 million, three-year contract.

Jagr, who played last season with Philadelphia, has led the NHL in scoring five times and won an MVP. He had 19 goals and 54 points — both career lows — for the Flyers.

In NHL history, he ranks first with 16 overtime goals, second with 114 game-winning goals, eighth with 1,653 career points, 11th with 665 goals and 12th with 988 assists.

Jiri Hudler signed a $16 million, four-year contract with Calgary — getting much more than Detroit offered to keep him — and former Flames forward Olli Jokinen left to play in Winnipeg on a $9 million, two-year contract on Monday.

There were a flurry of signings Sunday — Day 1 of NHL free agency — including forward P.A. Parenteau leaving the New York Islanders for a $16 million, four-year contract with the Avalanche and 40-year-old forward Ray Whitney getting a $9 million, two-year deal from Dallas.

Moustakas tried to tag up and score on a moderate fly to right field by Perez, but was thrown out at home when Bautista made a high throw for Mathis who was able to gather it in and block off the plate.

“We had some good at-bats, just didn’t get anything to show for it,” Royals designated hitter Billy Butler said. “He had a good little curve and a cutting fastball. They put a six spot up and that kind of takes the wind out of you.”

Jays left-hander Darren Oliver took over in the eighth and was greeted by a Jarrod Dyson leadoff double. Dyson stole third with two out but Oliver struck out Eric Hosmer to end the inning.

Notes: Attendance at Rogers Centre was 15,516. ... After Monday’s 11-3 loss, the Blue Jays designated for assignment right-hander David Pauley and right-hander Drew Carpenter was promoted from triple-A Las Vegas.

JOKINEN: Intrigued

by Winnipeg Jokinen has seven NHL seasons with at least 20 goals under his belt and found free agency “a little bit stressful,” especially when it came down to making a decision.

He was intrigued by the opportunity to live in a hockeymad city and play in front of the enthusiastic fans at MTS Centre. A native of Kuopio, in northern Finland, he wasn’t the least bit concerned about the city’s notoriously cold climate.

“My family loves living in Canada,” said Jokinen.

“They’re not afraid of the cold weather. My kids, they love snow.”

Cecil worked out of the top of the fourth after putting the first two runners on with a walk and a single.

The Blue Jays (41-40) sent 11 hitters to the plate in their big fourth inning that featured Lind’s two-out homer that broke a 3-3 tie.

Brett Lawrie led off the inning with a single and Colby Rasmus reached on a bunt.

Lawrie took third on Jose Bautista’s fly out and scored on an infield single by Edwin Encarnacion.

Yunel Escobar loaded the bases with an infield single and Rajai Davis singled in two runs.

Lind followed with a homer against the facing of the second deck in right.

Cecil left in favour of Jason Frasor in the seventh after a leadoff double by Mike Moustakas, who moved to third on a Truck Decks, Welding Skids, Headache Francoeur ground out.

WIMBLEDON

Serena Williams beats champ THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Serena Williams of the United States reacts winning against Petra Kvitova of the Czech Republic during a quarterfinals match at the All England Lawn Tennis Championships at Wimbledon, England, Tuesday.

Consider it delivered.

The 30-year-old Williams, bidding to become the first woman at least that age to win a major title since Martina Navratilova at Wimbledon in 1990, turned in her best performance of the tournament against her most difficult opponent.

After being stretched to 9-7 and 7-5 third sets against less-accomplished women in the two previous rounds, the No. 6-seeded Williams was on top of things from the get-go against No. 4 Kvitova.

“You can’t play a defending Wimbledon champion or Grand Slam champion and not elevate your game,” said Williams, who produced 27 winners and only 10 unforced errors.

“I had to weed out the riffraff and just get serious.”

Kvitova had won 16 of her last 17 matches at Wimbledon, including 11 in a row since a loss to Williams in the 2010 semifinals.

Two days later, Williams went on to win the championship — her fourth at Wimbledon, her 13th at a Grand Slam tournament and her most

The Dolphins accumulated 470 points, back of the Dolphins and the Calgary Tritons.

Liam Stalwick and Kyra McMurray led the Marlins with 34 points each while Taylor Laing had 33.

McMurray also achieved a provincial record in the 9-10 year-old girls’ 50-metre butterfly.

The eight-nine year-old boys’ relay team of Eion Wolfe, Noah Thomas, Sean Raivio and Zach Fletch won the 100-metre freestyle final while the team of Emilie Unrau, Tanis Wiancko, Keely-Anne Budd and Kathryn Richards captured the girls’ 14-and-under 200m freestyle relay title.

Servus Braves take first OKOTOKS — The Red Deer Servus Credit Union Braves won five of seven games to take first place in the JDawgs Canada Day bantam AAA baseball challenge during the weekend.

The Braves posted a 2-2 record in pool play, beating the Saskatoon Blue Jays 8-1 and the Regina Buffaloes 3-2 while losing 10-5 to the Foothills Dawgs Black and 4-2 to the Regina Pacers.

The Braves downed the Regina White Sox 8-4 in the quarter-finals then stopped the Dawgs Black 4-1 in the semifinals behind the four-hit pitching of game MVP Ty Wagar.

Within a week, Williams cut her feet on glass at a restaurant, leading to a series of health problems, including being hospitalized for clots in her lungs, then the removal of a pocket of blood under the skin on her stomach.

“No one tries to have ups and downs. Some things happen sometimes, and you have absolutely no control over it,” said Williams, whose only first-round loss in 48 Grand Slam tournaments came at the French Open in late May. “So I think it’s how you recover from that, and how you handle the downs even more than the ups can really (reveal your) character.”

On Thursday, Williams will play No. 2 Victoria Azarenka of Belarus, the reigning Australian Open champion, who defeated unseeded Tamira Paszek 6-3, 7-6 (4) under the roof at night to reach the Wimbledon semifinals for the second straight year.

The other semifinal will be No. 3 Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland against No. 8 Angelique Kerber of Germany.

Brendan Baker was named the tournament MVP while going four-for-four in the final and finishing with a .550 batting average for the tournament.

The tournament victory will be a boost for the Braves as they head into the final month of their league play and the provincials, also set for Okotoks, Aug. 3-6.

NFL denies bounty appeals

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW ORLEANS — NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has rejected the appeals of four players suspended in connection with the league’s bounty investigation of the New Orleans Saints.

In a ruling handed down on Tuesday, Goodell told Jonathan Vilma, Anthony Hargrove, Will Smith and Scott Fujita that he retains “the inherent authority to reduce a suspension should facts be brought to my attention warranting the exercise of that discretion.

“The record confirms that each of you was given multiple chances to meet with me to present your side of the story,” Goodell said. “You are each

still welcome to do so.”

Vilma is suspended for the entire 2012 season, while Smith will miss four games. Hargrove, now with Green Bay, was suspended eight games, while Fujita, now with Cleveland, was suspended three games.

The NFL Players Association issued a statement saying it will continue to pursue all options.

“The players are disappointed with the League’s conduct during this process,” the statement said. “We reiterate our concerns about the lack of fair due process, lack of integrity of the investigation and lack of the jurisdictional authority to impose discipline under the collective bargaining agreement.

WIMBLEDON, England — Thanks to a bit of advice from her big sister and a bunch of aces from her big serve, Serena Williams is back in the Wimbledon semifinals.

With two more victories, Williams will be holding a Grand Slam trophy for the first time in two years.

The thud of racketagainst-ball reverberating under the closed Centre Court roof, Williams smacked 13 aces at up to 120 mph and overpowered defending champion Petra Kvitova 6-3, 7-5 in the quarterfinals Tuesday at the All England Club.

Beforehand, Williams’ father and coach, Richard, asked his other titlewinning daughter to relay some suggestions.

“I went and had Venus talk to her, because Venus can get (through) to Serena better than anyone in the world.

“So I told Venus, ’I’m not going to talk to her.

You talk to her.’ So Venus went and talked to her. When the match was over, I told her, ‘Venus: Good coaching! Good coaching!”’ Dad said after snapping photos of Serena’s victory from his front-row perch in the guest box above a scoreboard.

“I wanted Serena to move her feet a little bit more and to not concentrate on what the girl’s doing, but concentrate exactly on what she wished to do,” he continued.

“And that was the only message.”

BY ADVOCATE STAFF Adding to an already busy Canada Day long weekend, Red Deer RCMP helped capture a moose running loose in Grandview on Monday.

At about 1:30 p.m., police received numerous calls from residents reporting a moose running through the Grandview School playground where children were playing.

Police officers attended and tracked the moose for over an hour.

Eventually, the moose was tranquilized by Fish and Wildlife officers in the area of 33rd Street and 42nd Avenue.

After officers loaded the twoyear-old bull moose on to the truck, the animal was taken to a safe location outside the city and released.

Red Deer City RCMP would like to remind citizens that

Blackfalds mountaineer climbing for Alzheimer’s

BY RENEE FRANCOEUR ADVOCATE STAFF With her ice pic in hand and heavy mountaineering boots on, Melissa Schulze isn’t just taking on a mountain this August.

She’s also taking on Alzheimer’s disease.

The 30 year-old Blackfalds woman is training three hours a day to climb Mount Rainier in support of the Alzheimer Society.

Mount Rainier is actually a volcano and the highest peak in Washington state. Located about 80 km southeast of Seattle, it’s also one of the country’s most heaviest glaciated.

According to the most recent data from the National Park Service at Mount Rainier, 9,251 climbers set out to reach the mountain’s summit in 2004 but only 4,951 were successful.

That trend is common but it’s a challenge that Schulze said she’s more than willing to take on for a cause close to her heart.

“Three of my grandparents had Alzheimer’s. . . .

“Many more members of my family will probably suffer from it, including me. My dad has this fear that he’s next,” said Schulze, a mother of one and a day home care provider.

“I wanted to do something.”

It’s a healthy, positive way for her to process her own fear of Alzheimer’s as well as support her family and others suffering from it, she said.

While Schulze has climbed the 3,350-metre (11,000-foot) Mount Temple in Alberta’s Bow River Valley twice, she’s never taken on something like the size of Rainer — 4,390 metres (14,410 feet) tall.

It’s known to be a long and treacherous climb, she said.

In 1981, 11 people perished after a fall on Mount Rainier’s dangerous Ingraham Glacier.

But even that doesn’t deter Schulze.

“I am scared and nervous but I’m in love with that mountain,” said Schulze, who first laid eyes on Rainier in 2006 during a camping trip.

There was something about it and she vowed she’d be back to conquer it.

Schulze has been hiking since she was 15 but climbing with a serious passion is still a fairly new hobby for her.

She began running and cardio workouts a year ago to achieve a more healthy lifestyle but that became too much of a comfort zone, she said.

After climbing Mount Temple last August, she decided to push herself even further. The guided Mount Rainier climb begins on Aug. 20 and will take three days.

The climb does cost over

NORDEGG TO ROCKY MOUNTAIN HOUSE MULTIUSE TRAIL

Melissa Schulze of Blackfalds carries her two year old daughter Makaila up the steps at Heritage Ranch in Red Deer. Schulze plans to climb Mount Rainier in Washington State later this summer.

US$1,000, all of which is coming out of Schulze’s own pocket.

None of the donation money is being used to pay for the trip, she noted.

To prepare, Schulze wakes up every day at 5:30 a.m. for a five-km run, followed by weight training.

In the evenings, she heads to Heritage Ranch in Red Deer to run up the steps leading down to the river.

She runs these multiple times with two year-old daughter Makaila strapped onto her back with water bottles for an extra 18 kg (40 pounds) of weight.

“My husband Peter and Makaila have been my biggest supporters . . . Makaila will pat my shoulders as I’m running and yell ‘Go, mommy! Go!’ ”

She also tries to slide in some daily training on her bike if she can.

Schulze hopes to raise a dollar for every foot she climbs, striving for a grand total of $14,410. So far, she’s raised $1,000.

“If I even raise $5,000 I’ll be happy; every dollar counts.”

Schulze will be out for her door-to-door bottle drive on July 14 throughout Blackfalds. She will also drive to anyone’s house to pick up bottles they wish to donate.

The Nordegg to Rocky Mountain House multiuse trail is one step closer to becoming a reality after additional funds were allocated for the construction of a trail staging area to begin later this year.

Clearwater County council passed a motion at its June 12 meeting to re-allocate $125,588 from contingency to the economic development budget to begin the development of the staging area, where people can park their vehicles and horse or ATV trailers.

Public Works staff expect the staging area development to cost anywhere from $200,000 to $300,000.

The trail, slated to be three metres wide at minimum, is expected to cost $6.8 million.

It will largely follow an abandoned railway bed between Rocky and the hamlet of Nordegg.

Tyler McKinnon, community services manager for Clearwater County, presented the plans for the trail at council.

He noted that given the scope of the project, the trail will be completed in various stages as more funding becomes available.

Earlier this year, Alberta Tourism, Parks and Recreation approved $50,000 in grants towards the staging area and connector section of the trail at the western end, said McKinnon.

The province also approved an additional $100,000 to go towards the trail development heading east from the Nordegg town site.

Clearwater Council also budgeted $90,000 to add to the provincial funding for the project.

BRIEFS Dickson Store Museum receives designation The Dickson Store Museum has been awarded the Recognized Museum designation again from the Alberta Museums Association.

This was the second time the museum took part in the Recognized Museum Program offered by the AMA. The accreditation program asks that museums voluntarily meet with a panel of museum professionals to prove how their institutions meet the standards for the AMA’s “Definition of a Museum.”

Museums are then awarded a designation, which lasts for five years.

They must then reapply to the program.

The Dickson Store Museum was one of the first museums in the province to be awarded the status by the AMA, which started the program in 2006.

On June 20, staff at the museum found out they could add the dates of 2012-2017 to their existing Recognized Museum sign, displayed in front of the 103-year-old building.

The designation highlights the museum’s dedication to maintaining standards of professional practice, said Sharon Lightbrown, manager of the Dickson Store Museum.

It will also work to ensure the museum continues to play a strong and important role within the community, she said.

TRAIL: Work to start The staging area will be along the Forestry Trunk Road, south of Hwy 11, in the north end of the Nordegg Industrial Subdivision.

Construction will begin on two existing lots already owned by the county.

The carrying cost for these lots is valued at $62,794 each, said McKinnon.

According to Mike Haugen, Clearwater County’s community and protective services director, the first official dig for the staging area is expected to start later this year, although no exact date was given.

The trail itself will be developed later, noted Haugen. rfrancoeur@reddeeradvocate.com

Fieldhouse excites in Blackfalds

BY RENEE FRANCOEUR ADVOCATE STAFF A fitness centre, indoor playground, banquet and meeting space.

A walking track and gymnasium.

And let’s not forget about the outdoor swimming pool.

The new multi-use fieldhouse and some of its above attributes is hot on the lips of almost every Blackfalds resident.

It’s definitely one of the most exciting up and coming things for the town, said Carol Simpson, the Blackfalds Field House Society president.

Construction is slated to kick off later this summer and as of now, the $15-million fieldhouse should be opening its doors by early 2014, said Simpson.

“It’s going to be a place that really ties everyone together, a community hub,” she said.

According to Simpson, it’s the one place people can not only book for meetings and big family functions but also go to work out

or have play dates with their children.

It will have everything, she said.

A consistently growing community, the town needed a big space like this, she added.

“It’s also going to act as an economic draw for people considering moving to Blackfalds as well as businesses looking to set up shop.”

The society is aiming to raise $750,000 for the fieldhouse and so far they have over $400,000, thanks to donations and sponsors.

Simpson said they’re grateful for all their sponsors, from Cottonwood Meadows to the Red Deer Kinsmen and the Blackfalds District Agricultural Society who feel the fieldhouse is a community priority.

The City of Lacombe approved a $750,000 donation to the fieldhouse at their June 14 council meeting.

Blackfalds originally asked for $3 million as the fieldhouse will be used by county residents as well. Lacombe will discuss further funding for the project after it completes its own major recre-

ation plan next spring.

Fundraising is ongoing and most recently, the society applied for an Alberta Culture $125,000 grant from their Community Facility Enhancement Program.

“We won’t know if we’ve got that grant for a few months but we’re hopeful as we meet all the criteria,” said Simpson.

“It would be another great boost.”

Designs for the fieldhouse were drawn up by ATB Architecture of Edmonton.

Council awarded Man-Shield Construction the contract to build the fieldhouse at the June 26 meeting. Council approved the company’s budget of $15,215,724 with a five per cent contingency of $760,786.20.

The motion was carried unanimously.

The new fieldhouse will be built at 4500 Womacks Rd., directly on the TransCanada Trail, which is part of the world’s longest network of trails. rfrancoeur@reddeeradvocate.com

HOSPITAL HOME WINNER

Floyd Anderson sneaks a kiss from his wife Doris as the Red Deer County couple tour their new home in Red Deer on Tuesday. The two long-time contributors to the Red Deer Regional Hospital Foundation Home Lottery fundraiser won the home last week and take possession of the house next week. “I don’t consider it buying tickets but paying our hospital bills over the years” said Floyd. The couple intend to sell the property as they enjoy their life on their acreage near Sylvan Lake.

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — The family of a 16-year-old Saskatoon girl who died in an apparent drug overdose in Edmonton says the teen had struggled with substance abuse from the age of 13.

Chante Katchmar has been identified by family as the girl who died at downtown condominium Sunday afternoon, two days before her 17th birthday.

Edmonton police believe five people appear to have taken a bad batch of pills but investigators have not identified the type.

The four others — two men and two women, all in their early 20s — were taken to hospital. The two women were listed in critical condition.

Katchmar’s mother, Carla FentonKatchmar, told Global Saskatoon that her daughter had issues with drugs.

“My daughter got her first pill from a girl at 13 years old — ecstasy — and it hasn’t turned around. She just went for more and more — to cocaine, to whatever else was in her system,” FentonKatchmar told the television station through tears.

Fenton-Katchmar said her daughter hadn’t lived in Saskatoon for a year.

She was kicked out of school in Grade 9 and moved to Calgary.

Fenton-Katchmar said she last saw her daughter in Edmonton on Thursday.

“I don’t know how she got to Edmonton to begin with. She had never had money. If she had some, she spent it on drugs and whatever else she needed,” she said.

“I grabbed her face. Looked at her.

Pulled her in. I held her and she held me.

“It was just that moment that she held me, I’ll never let that go.”

IPO MARKET STALLS IN SECOND QUARTER TORONTO — The Canadian market for initial public offerings stalled in the second quarter, continuing a trend that the PwC accounting and consulting firm blames on the European debt crisis and the global softening of commodity prices.

The PwC study found only two new issues on the Toronto Stock Exchange with a total value of $185 million in the second quarter of 2012, compared with eight new issues valued at $1.2 billion in the second quarter of 2011. The new issues, both real estate trusts, were the only IPOs on the TSX in the first half of the year. There were 24 new issues on the TSX Venture and six on other Canadian markets in the first half of the year, bringing the total to 32 new issues, valued at $220.3 million, in the first six months of 2012. That’s a significant drop from the 34 issues valued at $1.4 billion for the same six-month period last year.

PEYTO TO BUY OPEN RANGE ENERGY CALGARY — Shares of Open Range Energy Corp.

(TSX:ONR) gained more 30 per cent Tuesday after the company agreed to be bought

by Peyto Exploration and Development Corp.

(TSX:PEY) in a stock-swap deal valued at $179.5 million. The deal topped a rival all-stock offer by Cequence Energy Ltd. (TSX:CQE) for Open Range.

Open Range shares closed up 33 cents, or 32 per cent, at $1.35 in Tuesday trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

Under the deal, shareholders will receive 0.0696 of a Peyto share for each Open Range share they hold. Based on the closing trading price of the Peyto shares before the deal was announced, the offer was worth $1.34 per share. The deal requires approval by a two-thirds majority vote by Open Range shareholders as well as a number of court and regulatory approvals.

Open Range and Peyto both operate in Alberta’s Deep Basin region.

Historic low rates here to stay BANK OF MONTREAL PREDICTS BANK OF CANADA WON’T MOVE JULY 2013

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — The Bank of Montreal predicted Tuesday that the Bank of Canada will keep its key interest rate low for longer than it expected.

Economists at the bank are now predicting that the central bank will not raise its key rate until July 2013, six months later than their earlier prediction of January 2013.

The rate affects the prime lending rates at banks and in turn influences all kinds of interest rates including those charged to variable rate mortgages and lines of credit.

But BMO mortgage expert Laura Parsons urged prospective home buyers to choose fixed-rate mortgages, which are also near record lows.

“While interest rates have been at historic lows, the inevitable climb will happen,” said Parsons. “Choosing a fixed mortgage can provide protection against rising rates and make the cost of owning a home

more manageable in the long run.”

Senior economist Michael Gregory said the change in outlook stems from the easing policy of the U.S. Federal Reserve, a downgraded Canadian economic outlook and tightened mortgage rules.

“The weaker U.S. economy, which is causing the Fed to ease in the first place, does ripple across the border and directly impacts Canada, through trade channels and things like that,” said Gregory.

Ottawa moved last month to tighten mortgage rules for the fourth time in as many years in an effort to cool the housing market.

The changes, which come into effect on July 9, include a cut to the maximum amortization period for government insured mortgages cut to 25 years from 30.

Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney has called household debt one of the biggest threats to the Canadian economy.

The new rules should stem some fears around growing household debt that would

New shopping centre planned for Blackfalds

Gerry Seibel, who operates Seibel Construction Ltd., has purchased five acres of land near the intersection of Hwy 2A and Cottonwood Drive. He also has a letter of intent to buy five additional acres there, and hopes to turn the area into a commercial hub.

“We’re just getting some preliminary drawings and a site plan together right now,” said Seibel, who doesn’t anticipate

that work would commence until next year.

“I’m not in any great hurry.”

However, he’s already talking to prospective tenants and thinks national retailers would be interested. A grocery store, a bank, and a restaurant and lounge are among the possibilities, said Seibel.

“We’re pretty excited about the property,” he said, adding that he’s been eyeing it for years.

Seibel is confident about the commercial potential in Blackfalds, which has enjoyed sustained growth for the past decade.

“In my opinion, it’s one of the best places you can be in the province.”

Seibel said his company would build and develop the shopping centre.

ECB expected to cut rate to prop up Europe’s economies

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS FRANKFURT, Germany — Europe’s sinking economy and wobbly banks could get modest help Thursday from an interest rate cut by the European Central Bank.

Economists think the ECB will cut its benchmark refinancing rate by at least a quarter point to 0.75 per cent, a record low.

On Tuesday, the rising expectation of a rate cut helped lift stock markets in Europe, which have been rallying since European leaders last week announced new measures to fight the continent’s debt crisis.

The ECB is likely to hold off from more aggressive measures, such as new cheap loans to banks. Its president, Mario Draghi, has said there is only so much the central bank can do and that it was up to Europe’s politicians to restore confidence in the 17-country eurozone.

European leaders agreed at a summit in Brussels last week to create a banking regulator under the ECB’s aegis with the power to rescue banks directly. The goal is to spare single governments from being overwhelmed by the costs of rescuing banks and to make it easier for them to access Europe-wide bailout funds.

The measures exceeded financial mar-

kets’ hopes and triggered a drop in borrowing rates for Spain and Italy.

Economic indicators have pointed down since the ECB’s last rate-setting meeting June 7, when Draghi conceded that there were risks to the bank’s forecast for a modest recovery this year. He also said a rate cut had been discussed at that meeting.

The ECB’s refinancing rate is what banks pay when they borrow from the ECB and therefore influences the cost of loans.

Marie Diron, an economist at Oxford Economics and an advisor for Ernst & Young LLP, said a rate cut was clearly warranted and would help confidence but might not increase growth that much.

“It will probably not help a great deal, but it will show that the ECB is on top of things, is aware of the potential severity of the situation, that the eurozone is shrinking and that the risks are on the downside,” she said.

A lower refinancing rate would reduce what banks are paying on the C1 trillion ($1.26 trillion) in 3-year, emergency loans that the ECB doled out on Dec. 21 and Feb. 29. Banks have been using that money to buy government bonds or other investments bearing higher interest, so a cheaper rate would increase their profits.

otherwise push the Bank of Canada to increase rates sooner.

“The tightening of the government’s mortgage insurance rules does serve to act like higher interest rates specifically for that sector,” Gregory said. “So that takes some of the urgency away from the Bank of Canada to adjust rates any time soon.”

The Bank of Canada has kept its key interest rate at one per cent since September 2010.

Gregory said he expects that the Bank of Canada will change its projections for economic growth when it releases its new monetary policy report on July 18.

In its last policy report in April, the central bank predicted 2.4 per cent annual growth to the Canadian economy this year and next.

“I suspect 1/8the policy report 3/8 will show softer growth in Canada, partly because of global factors and in part because of what’s going on in the U.S.,” said Gregory.

Frozen yogurt store opening second location

BY ADVOCATE STAFF It’s only been two months since Menchie’s arrived in Red Deer. But the self-serve frozen yogurt store is already preparing to open a second location.

Deon Beaupre, who owns the Menchie’s franchise at Taylor Plaza, said he hopes to have a second Red Deer store operating by mid-September. It will be located at Southpointe Common, in the premises currently occupied by Jenny Craig Personal Weight Management.

Jenny Craig is moving on July 7 to bigger space in Southpointe Common that was previously used by Canadian Closet. Canadian Closet relocated to Red Deer County’s Liberty Crossing this spring.

One of North America’s fastest-growing food franchises, Menchie’s allows customers to dispense their own yogurt, chosing from a variety of flavours. They can also apply their own wet and dry toppings, with dozens of options available.

Prices are based on total weight.

The Taylor Plaza Menchie’s opened on May 3, and Beaupre business has been great.

“It’s been phenomenal . . . Red Deer is definitely big enough to support a second location.”

In fact, he was dealing on the Southpointe Common location even before his first store opened. He explained the location is a good one, and will give Menchie’s a presence on the south side of the city.

The new store will also be bigger than the first, with double the seating and two more yogurt machines, at eight. That will allow it to serve more flavours.

The space will allow the second location to accommodate more customers, and host events like birthday parties, said Beaupre.

Based in the United States, Menchie’s expanded into Canada in 2010. Its website indicates there are about 20 outlets in Canada, including three in Alberta. But Beaupre said new franchises are spreading rapidly.

“There are a number of sites that are under development in Edmonton and in Calgary and whatnot that are going to be opening very, very soon.

“There’s a group out of Calgary that’s actually committed to do 33 locations between Alberta and B.C.”

U.S. markets will be closed Wednesday for the U.S. Independence Day holiday.

The U.S. Commerce Department said Tuesday that factory orders increased 0.7 per cent in May after two consecutive months of declines. Core capital goods, such as machinery and computers, rose 2.1 per cent.

That’s better than the 1.6 per cent estimated in a preliminary report a week ago and is a good measure of companies’ plans to invest.

Manufacturing has slowed so far this year, hurt by declining consumer and business confidence and weaker global demand.

The Dow Jones industrials closed up 72.43 points to 12,943.82, the Nasdaq composite index gained 24.85 points to 2,976.08 and the S&P 500 index was up 8.51 points to 1,374.02.

Some analysts expect the European Central Bank to cut lending rates and the Bank of England to boost money in circulatio.

“The ECB will likely cut 25 basis points. I think that seems to be what is priced into the markets,” said Sadiq Adatia, chief investment officer at Sun Life Global Investment.

“And I think that’s a good move, it just helps signal the markets that things are going

to be a little bit better and let’s face it, they need some positive things.”

There are also hopes that Japan and China will announce new stimulus measures.

Also helping buying sentiment were strong data on U.S. vehicle sales last month.

Automakers reported big gains over June of last year.

Chrysler posted its best June in five years. Sales surged at Volkswagen, which is on track for its best year in the U.S. since 1973.

The results allayed fears that growth would stall after a strong start to 2012. Falling gas prices, cheaper loans and new models like the Ford Escape and Dodge Dart have attracted buyers.

Markets also continued to find lift after Europe’s leaders appeared at the end of last week to have finally come up with plans that show they are serious about restoring confidence in the eu-

rozone.

Among other things, the plan allows European bailout funds to pump money directly into troubled European banks, rather than make loans to governments to bail out the banks. The move rescues the banks without putting strapped countries deeper in debt. Hopes for central bank action helped push the August crude contract on the New York Mercantile Exchange up $3.91 to US$87.66 a barrel.

But the rise also reflected worries about Iran after the country staged further missile tests Monday, a day after U.S. and European embargoes of Iranian oil took effect. Iran also again threatened to block a critical Persian Gulf shipping route in response to the embargo.

CEO a beacon of light amidst negativity

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Research In Motion chief executive Thorsten Heins was on the defensive Tuesday insisting “there’s nothing wrong with the company as it exists right now,” and that he’s confident the BlackBerry maker will get past its current challenges.

Heins led the march of several executives who fanned out to media outlets in an effort cast a positive glow on the company, which has been facing an increasing amount of negativity over its seemingly endless problems.

Last week, RIM shocked the market with another delay to its crucial BlackBerry 10 operating system which has been considered by many as a last-ditch effort to save the company. But that was only Thorsten Heins part of the bad news.

RIM also said it would layoff about 5,000 employees as it slashes costs across the organization to contend with faltering sales of its BlackBerry smartphones and a quickly eroding stock price.

RIM’s stock closed 10 cents lower at $7.44 on Tuesday at the Toronto Stock Exchange.

Heins acknowledged the company faces a challenge to regain market share in the United States, but insisted RIM isn’t in a “death spiral.”

“There’s nothing wrong with the company as it exists right now,” Heins said on CBC’s Metro Morning radio show.

“I’m not talking about the company as I, kind of, took it over six months ago. I’m talking about the company (in the) state it’s in right now.”

Heins said the major changes RIM has made to its management and business objectives since he became CEO in January are part of a massive transition to a whole new technology platform.

He said sales in other parts of the world remain strong and argued the transition to the BlackBerry 10 will be a completely different way for RIM to address mobile computing.

But before that launch sometime early next year, RIM needs to survive the rest of 2012. Many analysts expect that will be particularly challenging as the company tries to market its older lineup of smartphones to savvy North American users who could easily switch to brand new Android phones or the new Apple iPhone expected sometime this fall.

So, in many ways, RIM is turning to its global customer base in hopes that’ll keep the company’s sales float in the meantime. Some of its older phones are still relatively new in some regions.

“Many of the international markets continue to provide a great deal of strength for us, and so we expect to drive that as hard as humanly possible,” said Rick Costanzo, executive vice-president of global sales in an interview.

Those assurances are being increasingly ignored by analysts, and many have been downgrading their expectations for the company over the past several days.

On Tuesday, Barclays lowered its expectations, pointing towards RIM’s “ebbing competitive position” which puts earnings estimates “at risk.”

“We model a loss of $1.04 versus a consensus of a three-cent gain in full-year 2014,” wrote analyst Jeff Kvaal in a note.

“We find a possible floor or takeover valuations very risky.”

At least one analyst questioned how RIM could successfully execute the release of its new phones amid mass layoffs.

“We think execution risks will continue,” Jefferies analyst Peter Misek said in a note to clients last week.

“We believe the BB10 pushout decision was recent and leaves RIM with inferior products in an increasingly competitive and saturated smartphone market.”

Griffiths more complicated than the roles he played VETERAN ACTOR, WHOSE CAREER SPANNED MORE THAN 50 YEARS, DIES AT 86

RALEIGH, N.C. — It was all too easy to confuse Andy Griffith the actor with Sheriff Andy Taylor, his most famous character from The Andy Griffith Show.

After all, Griffith set his namesake show in a make-believe town based on his hometown of Mount Airy, N.C., and played his “aw, shucks” persona to such perfection that viewers easily believed the character and the man were one.

Griffith, 86, died Tuesday at his coastal home, Dare County Sheriff Doug Doughtie said in a statement.

“Mr. Griffith passed away this morning at his home peacefully and has been laid to rest on his beloved Roanoke Island,” Doughtie told The Associated Press, reading from a family statement.

Although he acknowledged some similarities between himself and the wise sheriff who oversaw a town of eccentrics, they weren’t the same.

Griffith was more complicated than the role he played — witnessed by his three marriages if nothing else.

But that perception led people to believe Griffith was all that was good about North Carolina and put pressure on him to live up to an impossible Hollywood standard.

He protected his privacy in the coastal town of Manteo, by building a circle of friends who revealed little to nothing about him.

Strangers who asked where Griffith lived would receive circular directions that took them to the beach, said William Ivey Long, the Tony Award-winning costume designer whose parents were friends with Griffith and his first wife, Barbara.

Craig Fincannon, who runs a casting agency in Wilmington, met Griffith in 1974. He described his friend as the symbol of North Carolina.

That role “put heavy pressure on him because everyone felt like he was their best friend. With great grace, he handled the constant barrage of people wanting to talk to Andy Taylor,” Fincannon said.

Actor Andy Griffith in Toluca Lake, Calif., on March 6, 1987. Griffith, whose homespun mix of humor and wisdom made ‘The Andy Griffith Show’ an enduring TV favorite, died Tuesday. He was 86.

Mayberry, was the top-rated TV movie of the 1985-86 season.

Griffith set the show in the fictional town of Mayberry, N.C., where Sheriff Taylor was the dutiful nephew who ate pickles that tasted like kerosene because they were made by his loving

Aunt Bee, played by the late Frances Bavier.

His character was a widowed father who offered gentle guidance to son Opie, played by little Ron Howard, who grew up to become the Oscar-winning director of A Beautiful Mind.

If you stay on at The Hub until 7 p.m., you can catch a concert by Central Alberta singer Justine Vandergrift, who will perform songs from her sophomore release, So Far. . . . The special guest is local singer Rebecca Raabis. Tickets to the concert are $15 ($30 per family) from 4936 Ross St. Vandergrift’s latest CD will be available for $15.

Art from the Streets presents new work from new artists, with a Friday reception from 6 to 8 p.m. at 4935 51st St. Insect Portraits by Charity Briere is showing to July 27 at the Marjorie Woods Gallery in the Kerry Wood Nature Centre. The reception is from 5 to 7 p.m.

And the artworks of Elyse Szabo are showing at the Velvet Olive Lounge to July 31.

The group is bringing some new tunes from the Live @ Solbar release, which incorporates all the energy and exuberance of the group’s award-winning stage show.

Guitarist/lead vocalist Rack might even engage the audience in a “percussion spectacular,” in which he plays the tables, chairs, walls and bar before returning to the stage to duel it out with drummer Joel Thunderfoot.

The band’s tunes are influenced by blues, southern stomp, rock and roots music, with flashes of Tom Waits and Jimi Hendrix.

ciated Press, Griffith said he wasn’t as wise as the sheriff, nor as nice. He described himself as having the qualities of one of his last roles, that of the cranky diner owner in “Waitress,” and also of his most manipulative character, from the 1957 movie “A Face in the Crowd.”

“But I guess you could say I created Andy Taylor,” he said. “Andy Taylor’s the best part of my mind. The best part of me.”

Griffith had a career that spanned more than a half-century and included Broadway, notably No Time for Sergeants; movies such as Elia Kazan’s A Face in the Crowd; and records.

No Time for Sergeants, released as a film in 1958, cast Griffith as Will Stockdale, an over-eager young hillbilly who, as a draftee in the Air Force, overwhelms the military with his rosy attitude. Establishing Griffith’s skill at playing a lovable rube, this hit film paved the way for his sitcom.

He was inducted into the Academy of Television Arts Hall of Fame in 1992 and in 2005, he received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, one of the country’s highest civilian honours.

His television series resumed in 1986 with Matlock, which aired through 1995.

On this light-hearted legal drama, Griffith played a cagey Harvard-educated attorney who was Southern-bred and -mannered with a leisurely law practice in Atlanta.

Decked out in his seersucker suit in a steamy courtroom (air conditioning would have spoiled the mood), Matlock could toy with a witness and tease out a confession like a folksy Perry Mason.

This character — law-abiding, fatherly and lovable — was like a latterday homage to Sheriff Andy Taylor, updated with silver hair and a shingle.

In short, Griffith would always be best known as Sheriff Taylor from the television show set in a North Carolina town not too different from Griffith’s own hometown of Mount Airy.

In 2007, Griffith said The Andy Griffith Show, which initially aired from 1960 to 1968, had never really left and was seen somewhere in the world every day. A reunion movie, Return to

Husband who is obsessed with sex may just be ill Dear Annie: My husband, “George,” seems to feel the need to constantly grope me. I mean from the time I get up in the morning until he leaves for his overnight shift, he’s trying to grab my breasts or squeeze my bottom. He does this whether we’re at a movie theatre, the museum or the zoo. He does it when we’re walking outside, when he’s driving and even if I’m trying to cook. If he’s not trying to grope me, he’s talking about sex.

MITCHELL He does it in & SUGAR public, too, and even in front of my in-laws. It’s his favourite, actually his only, topic of conversation.

During the time we dated and for the first three years of our marriage, George and I had normal conversa-

tions about sports, politics, movies and books, but now it’s only sex, sex and more sex. Frankly, I can’t take much more of this. I’ve tried talking to him nicely about the constant groping, I’ve gotten angry, I’ve tried diplomacy, and I’ve redirected his hands. I’ve told him bluntly how insulting it is to be grabbed while we’re in a restaurant and how alarming it is when he talks about sex during a concert. But it goes in one ear and out the other. When I try to steer the conversation into other areas, he always brings it back to sex.

For medical reasons, my sex drive isn’t what it used to be. I try to accommodate George, and we are intimate even when I’m not feeling well. George is 52 and in fairly good health. He isn’t on any medications, nor has he had any injuries that would account for this.

I’m tired of the incessant groping and sex talk. How do I deal with this before I scream? — Married to an Octopus Dear Married: Get your husband to a doctor for a complete checkup, including a neurological exam. George’s fixation on sex is making it difficult for his brain to focus on anything else. If he is

It will be a great day, enjoy!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY: It might not be easy to come to terms with all your responsibilities, but you do have the needed heart to make strides. Home and family get a lot of your attention, as you grow more determined to put down stable roots.

It will be a great year, enjoy!

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You finally get the skinny on a matter that has seemed convoluted and elusive.

The bare bones might end up feeling less than satisfying after all the mystery, but does allow you to put the matter to rest.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You might feel someone’s greeting NADIYA is fake, but there’s genuine sentiment SHAH present. Allow the warmth of a happy moment filled with compliments reach past your veneer. You’re loved and admired.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Financial institutions might ask you to jump through hoops to get what feels rightfully yours.

There will be a need to not over-control and stay nice, even when there could be frustration and delays. All matters find their resolution in due time.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): “When people show you who they are, believe them.” Maya Angelou’s” quote reminded me of your sky, Cancer. You’re admitting a truth within your love dynamics, whether past or present. With an honest assessment, you can decide where you want to go forward from here.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Bikes in the city often feature reflective light, which works as a safety precaution, making others on the road aware. You might worry about wearing your concern on your sleeve, but you need to if you’re to feel safe. Admit where you feel anxious and speak up.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Each day will provide the needed dip and rise. There’s an overall benefit to your output now, as much as you might wish you could burn the candle continuously.

You need rest. From a calm state, better ideas come forward.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You might not have complete control over who crosses your path today, but you have a tremendous amount of agency when you consider your power to determine how they affect you. When faced with less than ideal advice, be a force of kindness.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): A person fond of the kitchen might find the many joys of baking a delight. To another, the activity would be torturous, or boring, at best. Someone wants to spend some time with you. That doesn’t mean you have to be engaged in an activity you’d rather not.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Many people find a fly swatter ineffective. The flies are just too fast, and perhaps even too smart, to ever get caught. You might worry about a new environment and how you’ll be treated. Trust your ability to avoid the worst and enjoy the best.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): With the Full Moon still strong, there are lessons in the air for you. As time passes, you’ll get a better understanding of the wisdom quickly coming forward.

Each feeling is meant to teach you more about yourself and your truth.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): According to Jung, each of us has a shadow, those characteristics we reject and would never think of as part of us. True enlightenment can only come by examining all the rejected parts, as you are now. Be brave as you confront a fear and find freedom.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Few of us are truly unlikable.

Whomever we are, whatever our disposition, there are likely others just the same. You might not feel a connection with someone.

Don’t force it. There are many others seeking the same things you are.

unable to control himself in public or in front of his own parents, it could indicate a serious medical problem.

Dear Annie: Our office atmosphere is friendly and casual, and we emphasize an “open door policy” to encourage this. The problem is one co-worker who constantly and loudly says, “Yuk, yuk, yuk, yuk!” It has nothing to do with humour. If someone walked in and told him the building was on fire, his response would be, “Yuk, yuk, yuk, yuk!”

He also constantly whistles, snaps his fingers, etc.

He’s a nice, considerate fellow, but he’s driving some of us to close our doors, and we wonder whether there’s a nice way to tell him his noisiness is a huge nuisance. Are these nervous tics that can be treated? — Distracted in Los Angeles, Calif.

Dear Distracted: It sounds as if your co-worker may have Tourette syndrome, a neurological disorder defined by multiple involuntary motor and vocal tics. We are certain he’s doing the best he can to control these sounds, so please be tolerant. You can get more information through the Na-

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Beyond Sad,” who is thinking of leaving her marriage after 40 years. I know how she feels. I left my husband after 38 years.

She should go for it because she will realize how happy and relieved she will be when she isn’t stressing over every little thing she does. Like my ex, no matter what you do or don’t do, it will never be good enough. She is making herself sick by staying in an unhappy marriage. Being with family and friends who love you is the best therapy you can have. I never believed in a million years I could be this happy.

Come to grips More time in womb better: study with addiction

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Compared with 41-weekers, children born at 37 weeks faced a 33 per cent increased chance of having severe reading difficulty in third grade, and a 19 per cent greater chance of having moderate problems in math.

“These outcomes are critical and predict future academic achievement,” said Naomi Breslau, a Michigan State University professor and sociologist. Her own research has linked lower IQs in 6-year-olds born weighing the same as the average birth weights at 37 and 38 weeks’ gestation, compared with those born heavier.

The study was published online Monday in Pediatrics.

The research “will cause quite a stir,” said Dr. Judy Aschner, a pediatrics professor and neonatology director at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

“There are still a lot of babies who are being delivered more or less electively at 37 and 38 weeks, with people thinking, ’This is no big deal — these babies are full-term.’ I think this is a big deal,” Aschner said. She was not involved in the study.

Aschner said no one is recommending trying to delay childbirth for women who go into labour at 37 weeks or 38 weeks. “I don’t want to panic moms whose babies come at 37 weeks,” she said. “But those elective early deliveries really need to stop.”

Some hospitals including Vanderbilt require obstetricians planning elective C-sections to complete a checklist and if appropriate boxes aren’t checked, the operation can’t be performed, Aschner said.

In the study, 15 per cent of children were born in C-section operations but there was no information on how many of these were elective or medically necessary procedures. C-sections can cause birth complications that also increase chances for developmental delays.

For example, if you get a headache if you haven’t had a coffee — this is an addictive substance for you.

An allergy, on the other hand, is when an unpleasant symptom manifests immediately after consumption.

When it comes to “discharge,” this is what many people will discover particularly if you’ve ever tried a cleanse of some sort.

You’ve broken some addictions, you’re feeling really good and then out of nowhere you must have a big, greasy chicken burger from a particular fast food restaurant — that was always my “discharge” craving.

What’s happening here is the body is releasing toxins stored over all these years within your body’s intercellular spaces. Now, your immune system is kicking in and those toxins are dumped into your bloodstream and getting circulated through your body to be processed by the cleaning and disposal organs: kidneys, lungs, liver and skin.

But as they circulate through the body, they pass through the hypothalamus in the brain, which as described in Food and Healing acts “like a tape recorder head, picking up information from the bloodstream as if the latter were a magnetic tape running by.”

This is what activates those cravings for childhood memories of mom’s strawberry cheesecake, or those famous french fries from the little café on the beach.

You will recognize these cravings because they will be of a familiar nature — something you used to really love.

The way to deal with them is to succumb to them in small amounts.

Typically that’s all you will need. * ® The final reason we crave things is through an imbalance of systems — between expansive and contractive foods, nutrient proportions, or acid/alkaline imbalances.

This is, for example, when you have been eating an excessive amount of protein, fat or salt why you will then crave something sweet (carbohydrates).

Allegations of vote buying mar Mexico vote

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MEXICO CITY — Thousands of people rushed to stores on Tuesday to redeem pre-paid gift cards they said were given them by the party that won Mexico’s presidency, inflaming accusations that the election was marred by massive vote-buying.

At least a few cardholders were angry, complaining they didn’t get as much as promised, or that their cards weren’t working. Neighbours at one store in a poor neighbourhood on the outskirts of Mexico City said the unusually large crowds had prevented them from doing their daily shopping.

Some of those lined up to use their gift cards said they got them for supporting the Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI, whose candidate Enrique Pena Nieto won Sunday’s election, according to the preliminary official vote count. Some wore red T-shirts and baseball caps with Pena Nieto’s name printed in white.

Maria Salazar, a 20-year-old university student, came with her 70-year-old father, Antonio Salazar, to cash three gift cards.

“They gave us the cards in the name of the PRI and Rep. Hector Pedroza (a PRI congressional candidate), and they said they were counting on our vote,” Maria Salazar said outside the store, as she carried plastic shopping bags packed with toilet paper, cooking oil, rice, saltine crackers and instant noodle soups.

Her father carried another two packed grocery bags and her 8-year-old nephew carried another.

“They told us they were worth 500 pesos ($37.50), but when we got to the check-out, they were only worth 100 rotten pesos, ($7.50)” Salazar said.

Both she and her father said they had been told to turn in a photocopy of their voter ID card in order to get the

Thousands of people gather for an assembly in front of the Monument of the Revolution in Mexico City on Monday. Organized by the “I am 132” movement, and then joined by other groups, thousands gathered a day after the elections in which the apparent victor of Mexico’s presidential race, Enrique Pena Nieto now faces his closest rival, leftist Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, who refused to accept defeat. The “I am 132” movement began in opposition of the alleged biased coverage by the media of the 2012 elections and against the candidacy of Enrique Pena Nieto of the Revolutionary Institutional Party (PRI). gift cards.

Another woman interviewed outside the same Soriana grocery store also complained her card had only 100 pesos ($7.50) in credit.

“For helping them with votes and all ... they gave us a card for supporting them, and all that for 100 pesos,” said the woman, who gave only her first name, Josefina, for fear of reprisals.

She said she got the card for supporting Pena Nieto, but complained that “100 pesos lasts you about five min-

utes.”

Inside the store, such long lines formed at card-reading machines as people tried to find the balances on their cards. Some grew angry and shouted insults against Pena Nieto.

Regular shoppers were vexed at the long lines. “I was going to buy bread right now, but you can see, the lines are tremendous, you can’t even get in,” said Maria Garcia Lobato.

Pena Nieto’s campaign and the PRI press office said they had no imme-

diate comment, and the press representative of the Soriana grocery store chain did not immediately respond to phone calls. In the final days of the campaign, PRI officials denied similar allegations that the party distributed pre-paid cash cards from a local bank.

On the Friday before the vote, the leftist Democratic Revolution Party — whose candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador came in second — issued a statement accompanied by photos of dozens of the Soriana cards, saying they had been distributed by a PRI-affiliated union, and it filed a complaint to electoral authorities.

Under Mexican election law, giving voters gifts is not a crime unless the gift is meant to condition or influence their votes. Also, the cost of such gifts must be reported to authorities, and cannot exceed campaign spending limits. Violations of those rules are usually punished with fines, but are not usually considered ground for annulling the elections.

On Tuesday, Alfredo Figueroa, a council member of the oversight agency known as the Federal Electoral Institute, said authorities are investigating the Soriana card complaint. Members of the institute have said they were aware of attempts to engage in vote buying.

Figueroa also said that irregularities in vote tallies may eventually lead to the opening and re-counting of votes from as many as 50,000 polling stations, about one-third of the 143,000 involved in Sunday’s vote.

But on Tuesday, Lopez Obrador said his team had detected irregularities in 113,855 polling places, and called for a much wider recount. “This is a scandal ... They bought millions of votes,” Lopez Obrador said, referring to the PRI. “Clearly, they far exceeded campaign spending limits . . . this is a national embarrassment,” he told a news conference.

Explosion kills 40 ahead of Shiite pilgrimage

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BAGHDAD — Bombs pounded six Iraqi cities and towns Tuesday, killing at least 40 people and raising suspicion that security forces might be assisting terrorists in launching attacks on Shiite Muslims.

The onslaught came just ahead of a religious pilgrimage that could attract even more violence.

A senior Iraqi intelligence official said checkpoint guards may have been bribed to help al-Qaida-linked Sunni insurgents plant bombs at Shiite marketplaces. The attacks injected new fear into Iraqis, resigned to worsening violence six months after the last American troops left the country.

“We want to live a normal life, but with the current spike in violence and victims, I am personally thinking of moving,” said Hassan al-Saadi, 40, a Shiite sports equipment store owner in Baghdad who is considering pulling his four children from school for their safety. “I see the future as worse,” alSaadi said.

A spike in violence over the last month is blamed partially on Iraq’s paralyzing political crisis, which pits Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki’s Shiite-led government against rival Shiite politicians, Sunni Muslims and ethic Kurds who complain they’ve been sidelined.

Also, the crisis in neighbouring Syria may have allowed weapons intended for the opposition to President Bashar Assad to be siphoned off to Iraqi insurgents.

Tuesday’s deadliest attacks hit the southern Shiite cities of Karbala and Diwaniyah. Despite the risk, hundreds of thousands of Shiite pilgrims are expected to gather Friday in Karbala for an annual religious observance.

Sunnis also were targeted. Two blasts hit a residential area in the Sunni city of Taji, just north of the capital, killing three people. Four people died

in bombings and shootings in Sunnidominated Diyala province in Iraq’s northeast.

In Diwaniyah, officials said an explosives-laden vegetable truck ripped through a crowded market, killing 26 people and wounding about 75 more.

“There were many charred bodies on the ground,” said vegetable seller Salah Abbas, 41, who rushed to help wounded people before ambulances arrived. “People screaming and crying — some were coming in to get their relatives while others were running out.”

The senior intelligence official said there were at least two security lapses in the market attack, and money might have changed hands.

One guard at a security checkpoint in Diwaniyah failed to properly search the produce truck because he couldn’t stand the smell of rotting vegetables and fruit. Another guard allowed the truck to enter the market instead of being unloaded outside as security rules require, the intelligence official said.

“We do not rule out that bribes were paid to some at the checkpoints,” the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity in order to discuss sensitive security matters.

Checkpoints are so common in Iraqi cities that it’s impossible to go more than a few kilometres (miles) without encountering one.

“The aim of today’s attacks is to show that all the security measures taken to protect the pilgrims are a failure,” the intelligence official said.

A few hours before the Diwaniyah attack, two bombs in cars parked outside a Karbala market killed five people and wounded 30. Karbala is 90 kilometres from Baghdad, and Diwaniyah is further south, 130 kilometres from the capital.

In Baghdad, two roadside bombs exploded near security patrols in separate neighbourhoods, killing a policeman and a passer-by, officials said.

Bombing victims are taken for burial in Najaf, 160 kilometers south of Baghdad, Iraq, Tuesday. Market bombings and other attacks across Iraq killed and wounded scores of people on Tuesday, and one senior intelligence figure said he could not rule out that guards may have taken bribes to allow terrorists to penetrate security during a Shiite pilgrimage.

BEIRUT — Syrian President Bashar Assad said he regrets the shooting down of a Turkish jet by his forces, and that he will not allow tensions between the two neighbours to deteriorate into an “armed conflict,” a Turkish newspaper reported Tuesday.

Syria downed the RF-4E warplane on June 22. Syria says it hit the aircraft after flew very low inside its airspace, while Turkey says the jet was hit in international airspace after it briefly strayed into Syria.

In an interview with the Cumhuriyet daily, Assad offered no apology, insisting that the plane was shot down over Syria and that his forces acted in selfdefence.

He said that the plane was flying in a corridor inside Syrian airspace that had been used by Israeli planes in 2007, when they bombed a building under construction in northern Syria. The UN nuclear agency has said that the building was a nearly finished reactor meant to produce plutonium, which can be used to arm nuclear warheads.

“The plane was using the same

corridor used by Israeli planes three times in the past,” Assad told Cumhuriyet. “Soldiers shot it down because we did not see it on our radars and we were not informed about it.”

Assad said: “I say 100 per cent, I wish we did not shoot it down.”

Commenting for the first time on a U.N.-brokered plan for a political transition in Syria that was adopted by world powers at a conference in Geneva on Saturday, Assad said he was “pleased” that the decision about Syria’s future was left to its people.

The plan calls for the creation of a transitional government with full executive powers in Syria. But at Russia’s insistence, the compromise left the door open to Assad being part of the interim administration and left its composition entirely up to the “mutual consent” of the Assad administration and its opponents.

“The Syrian people will decide on everything,” Assad said.

The conflict in Syria has killed more than 14,000 people since the revolt began in March 2011, according to opposition estimates. The fighting has grown increasingly militarized in recent months.
