A hard-fought escape from life on the streets This is the third in a five-part series on the homeless in Red Deer. On Thursday, we hear first-hand from the city’s homeless. BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF

Floyd Powder relaxes at an outside table after having supper at Loaves and Fishes.

Floyd Powder changed his life because he didn’t want to be handcuffed and wearing an orange jumpsuit when he visited his parent’s grave site. At a picnic table outside of Red Deer’s Loaves and Fishes on 54th Street, Powder shared his “get clean” story to listeners recently. Loaves and Fishes is a non-profit organization that offers programs and services such as hot meals in the community. His story is like so many others who battled addictions and struggled to carve out an existence on the streets. Powder, 50, did time in Stony Mountain Institution in Manitoba, Saskatchewan Penitentiary in Prince Albert, Sask., and Drumheller Institution for trafficking cocaine and other related offences. Three years ago, he spent 28 days in treatment at a detox centre in Fort McMurray after he finished his parole. It was there he met Elder Lynn Jonasson, who was an inspiration to Powder. Powder began following Jonasson’s teachings and learning about his Cree culture. The newfound knowledge helped Powder find light in his dark tunnel. And after his stint in detox, he found housing through Safe Harbour and secured a job pushing hogs at Olymel. “My father is 81 and my mother is 82,” said Powder. “I have been in jail all this time and losing friends. I said to myself if I don’t sober up I am going to be in jail when my parents pass away. I wouldn’t want to be in handcuffs and orange overalls standing there watching my parents being buried.” He was tired of living on the streets and looking out from behind prison bars. In 2010, Powder became a mentor or facilitator in

A standard meal at Loaves and Fishes. one of Safe Harbour’s supported recovery houses. Powder is there for support and to ensure the four tenants follow the house rules. He gets paid an honourarium and his rent is covered by Safe Harbour. But Powder still takes his meals at the soup kitchens and spends time in the areas frequented by the homeless in the city. He gets around the city on foot or on his bicycle. At Olymel, he makes about $15 an hour, which he is saving for his own place. In the future, Powder hopes to be a paid employee at either Safe Harbour or People’s Place. As he looked around at the people spread out on the lawns at Loaves and Fishes, Powder understands where they are coming from. He applauds the city’s focus on ending homelessness. But he cautions that in order to get the people off the street, the homeless need to want to do it for themselves. “You just can’t say, ‘Come on get off the street,’ ” said Powder, who has been in Red Deer since 2008. “My family and other people used to tell me why don’t you just smarten up and get a job and go to work. I wouldn’t listen. Nobody wants to listen, right. If you don’t do it for yourself, it isn’t going to work.” crhyno@reddeeradvocate.com

Concrete pour marks progress of Curling Centre renovation ‘IT’S A BIG DAY HERE’ BY JESSICA JONES ADVOCATE STAFF The modernization and addition to the 60-yearold Red Deer Curling Centre started to take shape with the pouring of 26,000 square feet of concrete on Tuesday. Renovations on the $8.8-million project, which will add four new ice rinks to the building at 4725 43rd Street, officially began on Feb. 6 — while the popular Scotties Tournament of Hearts women’s national curling championships was being played at the Centrium. Project manager Rich Roberts said that numerous loads of concrete were trucked in at 7 a.m. on Tuesday to give the centre the ability to have 12 curling sheets. “It is a big day here,” he said. After the crews have finished pouring the concrete, it will be flattened and levelled. It takes approximately 28 days before the concrete is cured enough to install the lights, Roberts said.

Disaster recovery deadline is near BY JESSICA JONES ADVOCATE STAFF Rainfall that stranded motorists and wreaked havoc on numerous basements in Lacombe County, the Town of Eckville and the City of Lacombe last summer may be a distant memory. But Central Albertans are being reminded about the disaster after the Alberta Emergency Management Agency (AEMA) recently announced that the 2011 Central Alberta Disaster Recovery Program will be closed on Aug. 22. No applications postmarked or faxed to the program after that date will be accepted by the government of Alberta. Between July 11 and 12 and July 26 and 27, 2011, a number of roads were flooded. The downpour backed up storm water systems and caused localized flooding in the City of Lacombe and surrounding areas. Emergency management director for Lacombe County, Julian

CENTRIUM EXPANSION

Veuger, said the announcement of the deadline is typical for these types of disaster programs. “An overwhelming amount of rain fell in a short time and a number of people achieved a lot of damage,” he said on Tuesday. Between Eckville and Lacombe County, Veuger said there were 140 applications of uninsurable damage to residences and small businesses. “There were literally hundreds of claims for disaster recovery,” he said. If residents have suffered from the July 2011 flooding on the aforementioned dates, they are still eligible for funding. Veuger suggested that people compile documentation such as pictures and receipts to send with their applications.

Eagle Builders workers move a pre-fabricated floor panel lifted by a crane into place on the Centrium expansion Tuesday. The building’s 6,000-seat capacity will grow by 1,000 more general seats, 40 new club seats and 13 additional luxury suites when the project is complete this October. The $3.5-million price tag is funded by the Province of Alberta’s Community Facility Enhancement Program ($1.75 million), The City of Red Deer ($1 million), and Red Deer County ($500,000).

Science, not politics will decide pipeline fate, says PM NORTHERN GATEWAY PIPELINE NOT A DONE DEAL SAYS HARPER BY THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER — Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s government has been somewhat unabashed in supporting the Northern Gateway project that would see a pipeline deliver crude from the Alberta oilsands to a port on the B.C. coast. But Harper said Tuesday, science, not politics, will decide the fate of a controversial pipeline proposed by Calgarybased Enbridge (TSX:ENB). “In a broad sense, without getting into the specifics of

any project. . . we think it’s obviously in the vital interests of Canada and in the vital interests of British Columbia,” Harper said following an announcement in Vancouver. “As Canada’s Asia-Pacific gateway, the economic growth we expect to have here in the future is going to be based on commerce with the Asia-Pacific region and we think it’s important that we continue to diversify our exports through this province.” But Harper rejected any suggestion that the $6-billion project is a done deal as far as his Conservative government is concerned. “I’ve been very clear that decisions on these kinds of projects are made through an independent evaluation conducted by scientists into the

STORY FROM PG A1

RINK: Ice-maker excited Overall, the upgrades on the centre are only a week behind schedule. Curling Centre interim manager Wade Thurber said their intent is have curlers on the newly-minted ice in the latter part of October. The facility, once completed, will be state-of-theart with a proper dehumidification system, insulation, an efficient ice plant and new water filtration system. As the ice-maker at the curling centre, Thurber is especially excited for the adjustments. “We’ve done our homework as far as what it takes to make the best ice we possibly can,” he said.

economic costs and risks that are associated with the project, and that’s how we conduct our business,” Harper told reporters. He said his government has already invested in environment surveillance and mitigation of environmental risk, and will make further investments in the future, though he offered no specifics and took only a few questions from the contingent of media waiting to question the prime minister on the pipeline issue. “I think that’s the only way that government can handle controversial projects of this manner, is to ensure that things are evaluated on an independent basis, scientifically, and not simply on political criteria.” Ottawa wants to see B.C.’s

export trade grow and diversity, he said, but the proposal will be evaluated on its own merits. But Peter Julian, the Opposition New Democrats’ natural resources critic, said nothing could be further from the truth. “Here’s a government that has gutted the environmental assessment process and the (National Energy Board) process, so that politics trump science, trying to tell British Columbians that well, in fact, science will play a bigger role than politics. It’s clearly not the case,” Julian said. Under the revamped environmental assessment process, a government decree in favour of the project is inevitable, Julian said. This is the same government that in the last budget

“The old rink had its challenges. It wouldn’t really matter how good of ice-maker you were, so this is a real treat to be able to work in a facility that will have all the bells and whistles.” Earlier in the year, the project was estimated at $7.4 million. But before long that price tag increased by $1.4 million. Roberts says a couple unforeseen issues are to blame, such as $130,000 price difference in steel, the addition of a sprinkler system, which was another $75,000, and upgrades to a wall that was structurally unsound. “Just the kinds of things you come across when doing upgrades to a building of this age,” he said. The City of Red Deer invested $6.175 million and was the main provider of the project. Thurber is not worried as the centre is only $400,000 short of breaking even. “Worse case scenario, we may have to get a mort-

gage for awhile, but so be it, that makes the club healthy and strong,” he said. “It is a little more than we wanted but we will be close.” Thurber said the centre has looked to sponsors to advertise on the ice sheets, lounge, kitchen and several rock handles. The club also received $750,000 from a provincial grant, the Community Facility Enhancement Program. During the off-season, the centre will host weddings, receptions and meetings in its upgraded multiuse facility, Thurber said. Curling league registration is just around the corner, starting on Sept. 10 from 5 to 8 p.m. The project will get the final touches next year when landscaping and other minor upgrades will be added. jjones@reddeeradvocate.com

cut Environment Canada’s Environmental Emergencies Program office in British Columbia, which co-ordinates the clean-up of oil spills in federal jurisdiction including the offshore, he said. Harper is simply trying to assuage British Columbian voters, who Julian believes are overwhelmingly opposed to the project. The proposal by Enbridge would see twin pipelines deliver diluted bitumen over 1,170 kilometres from the oilsands in northern Alberta to a terminal to be built for tankers near Kitimat, B.C. The federal environmental review process got underway in January, and last week Ottawa set a Dec. 31, 2013 deadline for the assessment to be complete.

Thousands of tickets issued RCMP, ALBERTA SHERIFFS, CONSERVATION, FISH AND WILDLIFE, AS WELL AS COMMERCIAL VEHICLE ENFORCEMENT BUSY ON LONG WEEKEND BY ADVOCATE STAFF Reckless driving and other infractions over the long weekend in Alberta resulted in officers issuing 5,140 tickets. That’s 622 more tickets than were issued during the Canada Day long weekend. The number of impaired driving charges jumped from 15 on the July weekend to 35 on the August weekend. Alcohol-related violations, such as driving with alcohol,

surged from 60 over the July weekend to 202 in August, and speeding soared from 2,973 to 3,556. From Aug. 3 to Aug. 6, officers with the RCMP, Alberta Sheriffs, Conservation, Fish and Wildlife, as well as Commercial Vehicle Enforcement issued: ● 35 impaired driving charges. ● 29 24-hour suspensions for alcohol or drug use. ● 202 other alcohol-related

Missing hiker found dead BY THE CANADIAN PRESS LAKE LOUISE — A missing hiker from Calgary has been found dead on Castle Mountain near Lake Louise. RCMP say Michael Hwang’s body was found on the upper reaches of the mountain. They say it appears he had been rappelling down a rock face and fell onto rocks below. Attempts to retrieve the body were hampered by high winds, so recovery efforts are to continue Wednesday. Police say Hwang’s family has been notified. Last month, two people fell to their deaths while hiking the popular Heart Creek trail east of Canmore.

Greyhound cuts criticized EDMONTON — The Alberta NDP say that many people in rural parts of the province are feeling stranded by cuts to bus service. Greyhound Canada has eliminated routes in more than a dozen small towns and cities. Rural development critic David Eggen says that’s leaving many communities without any bus service at all. He calls it “a huge mistake,” noting that a lot of people such as seniors and students don’t drive. He says the service Greyhound provides “is not a luxury service, it’s an essential service.” He says the Conservative party ought to be doing something about it but instead he says they’re taking rural voters for granted. “People know that you start cutting bus service, you start cutting schools and health services in the rural areas and these people will move and they certainly won’t vote Conservative,” says Eggen. Some of the newly affected communities include Nanton, Okotoks, High River, Claresholm and Taber.

Two quad riders injured Two unrelated quadding accidents sent two people to hospital on Saturday in Central Alberta. STARS Air Ambulance spokesman Cam Heke said the first accident occurred around 6 p.m. about 70 km southwest of Rocky Mountain House near Cow Lake. STARS airlifted a patient in serious condition as a result of a quadding accident to the Foothills Medical Centre in Calgary. A mere 22 minutes later, STARS re-

violations. ● 3,556 speeding violations. ● 38 distracted driving violations. ● 55 intersection-related infractions. ● 43 hazardous violations including dangerous driving. ● 210 seatbelt or child restraint infractions. ● 666 violations ranging from having no insurance to driving while suspended. ● 37 tickets to unsafe truck drivers for violations such as

sponded to another quadding accident about 68 km west of Rocky Mountain House, where they transported an adult female patient to the University of Alberta Hospital in Edmonton.

Dangerous offender hearing held CALGARY — A hearing to determine if a violent sex offender should be declared a dangerous offender has begun in a Calgary courtroom. Victims of Michael Peter Nadolnick were in court to read their impact statements. In 1998, Nadolnick was convict of sexual assault with a weapon near North Battleford, Sask. In 2002, he was charged after a random break-and-enter robbery that sent two men to hospital with multiple stab wounds. Nadolnick was released from the Bowden Institution in September 2008 after serving six years. But just a few months later, he kidnapped a 19-year-old woman at gunpoint from a Calgary business. Shortly after, a 68-year-old man in a truck was carjacked and the two victims were forced to drive around the city for more than four hours. The woman was sexually assaulted several times and forced to call another woman on the phone to talk about her ordeal. In November 2011, Nadolnick was in custody for those crimes when he escaped while being escorted to a doctor’s appointment. He overpowered his guards and then tried to get away in a stolen vehicle. A person can be declared a dangerous offender if the sentencing court is satisfied that the offender is a threat to the life, safety or well-being of the public. If Nadolnick is declared a dangerous offender, he could face an indefinite prison sentence. He will be back in court on Oct. 24.

The pressure on students It’s little surprise that so many university students have an appreciation of the blues, the vibrant musical form that underpins much of the best jazz, rhythm and blues and rock ’n’ roll, because the melancholic “blue devils” from which the music derives its name is a very real presence in their lives. Growing levels of depression and suicide among college and university students is alarming educators across North America, who appear determined to ascertain the scope of the problem on their campuses and review and assess their existing mental health and related services to see if they are meeting the challenge. The University of Waterloo may be the latest Canadian post-secondary institution to travel this route with the release of a new report reviewing its current services and a planned followthrough to implement recommended changes by the start of the new school year. Other post-secondary institutions have mental health services in place for their students, too, and are cognizant of the need for vigilance in de-

OTHERVIEW termining if those students’ needs are being met. A possible reason campus mental health centres may be seeing growing numbers of students coming through their doors could be the simple fact that universities are doing a good job of making students aware that these services are available. Another reason may be less reluctance on the part of today’s students to shed the stigma that has long been attached to mental health issues and a willingness to seek out counselling or guidance. But if we believe that is all there is to it, we’re doing a gross disservice to these students and ultimately to society as a whole. Students today face increasingly difficult challenges, from the necessity to acquire a post-secondary education to get a foothold in the present work world, the uncertainty of finding work that’s related to their field of studies, and the punishing — sometimes crush-

ing — debt load they incur in obtaining their education. These come on top of the stresses of students being on their own for the first time; the anxiety to succeed in what may be their first truly competitive environment; and difficulty in managing their time and the resulting sleep deprivation. Among the more unsettling aspects of the University of Waterloo report was a reference to a Canadian sample of an American College Health Association National College Health survey showing that of 33,000 students enrolled at a large Canadian university last September, one per cent (337 students) would have attempted suicide and six per cent — about 2,000 students — would have “seriously considered” suicide during the academic year. That is clearly alarming. With the initial manifestation of mental health disorders most commonly appearing in adolescence and early adulthood, and the possible consequences of failing to properly diagnose such disorders leading to withdrawal from university or withdrawal from so-

ciety as a whole, we all have a stake in addressing this issue. While students may be more open about shunning the stigma of mental illness, parents appear to be more reluctant. Denying their child has such problems, or not sharing that information with their broader family or social circle, helps the stigma endure. They aren’t doing society a service by letting those attitudes continue. On campus, university presidents may be trying to get out front in addressing the mental health issues of their students, but this is not a campus issue alone. Being forthright in bringing these matters to the attention of the broader community in which their institutions reside could also help in the stigmareduction department. We applaud the academic community for its support of students dealing with depression or worse. But we ask that you let the wider community be part of the dialogue as well. An editorial from the Waterloo, Ont., Region Record.

Digging deep to find the truth JUST HOW MUCH OIL REMAINS UNDERGROUND, AND WHAT WILL IT RETURN? “… the three states of Colorado, Wyoming and Utah alone contain more oil from oil shale than all of the conventional oil contained in the Middle East.” — Karen Harbert, U.S. Chamber of Commerce And then she goes on to say that that’s the equivalent of hundreds of years of supply for the U.S. Hmm. I guess she should know what she’s talking about, since she’s the CEO of the Chamber’s Institute for 21st Century Energy. But then I think about it for a millisecond longer and wonder why, if that is the case, would Uncle Sam be so interested in our bitumen. If there’s three trillion (yes, trillion) barrels of oil sitting EVAN under Colorado, Wyoming BEDFORD and Utah, and if half of it is accessible, why would they be knocking on our door? Why wouldn’t U.S. gasoline be 25 cents a gallon? Why would Obama and Romney be arguing about offshore and Arctic drilling? Would it be because Harbert takes her morning bowl of Lucky Charms cereal a bit too literally? Or would it be because it takes about as much energy to take oil shale out of the ground and refine it as there is in the final product? (Oil shale, a solid, is not to be confused with shale oil, a liquid found deep underground in North Dakota and Saskatchewan.)

Actually, I shouldn’t pick on just her. There has been a lot of magical thinking in the last few months in the media. It got started from a Citigroup study, which predicted that by 2020, oil prices would fall by 16.5 per cent. And a few months later, a study from Harvard University, predicted that by 2020, global oil production would rise by about 19 per cent. To their credit, neither study mentions oil shale. But they do bring forth their own brand of pixie dust. For example, Iraq’s oil production will nearly triple in the next eight years. Really? A lot of Iraqi’s are still fairly busy blowing each other up. Do you think that the folks with the medieval mindsets will sit idly by while vulnerable western pipelines remain intact? Brazil’s oil production is expected to more than double. This is from deep ocean sources that are more than a mile under the ocean, and then another three miles under the ocean floor. Very costly, to say the least. Let’s just hope that no boo-boos occur, such as what happened with the 2010 Deepwater Horizon disaster. U.S. production is supposed to skyrocket, largely due to the shale oil production in the North Dakota area. However, the Harvard report author seemingly neglected to consult with the North Dakota Department of Mineral Resources. Graphs from the department clearly show depletion rates for the average well in the shale oil area to be much, much higher than what the Harvard report states (Harvard says 15 per cent a year, whereas the actual North Dakota data shows depletion rates over the first two years of operation as being 45 per cent per year). And then there’s good old Canada. Our oil production is supposed to climb by about

65 per cent over the next eight years. Guess where that’s coming from. If you think that our infrastructure and the environment are barely keeping pace now, just wait a while. But these are mere details. Let’s have a look at the global picture all at once. The British energy consultant firm, Douglas-Westwood notes that the energy industry hasn’t had much luck in finding new sources of oil recently. In the 10 years from 1995 to 2004, it spent $2.4 trillion (yes, trillion) sniffing out new leads. And it was fairly successful, since over that time, global oil production increased by 12.3 million barrels per day. However, in the following five years, it spent another $2.4 trillion, and what was the grand result? Global production actually fell by 0.2 million barrels per day. So we’re running much faster, but we’re not getting anywhere. And now we’re expected to believe that production will magically rise by 19 per cent? The folks over at www.theoildrum.com had a good laugh about it. One of them brought up the classic Sidney Harris cartoon, where two professors are standing at a blackboard. On the left side of the board is an incomprehensible jumble of numbers and mathematical symbols. And on the right side, there is an equally incomprehensible jumble. But instead of an “equals” sign in the middle, one professor has written “then a miracle occurs.” Needless to say, the second professor isn’t too impressed. And neither should we be when non-geologists try to sell us on the merits of pixie-dust. Evan Bedford is a local environmentalist. Direct comments, questions and suggestions to wyddfa23@telus.net.

Taking high road after separation BY NADINE ARENDT SPECIAL TO THE ADBOCATE

LEGALLY SPEAKING

Separation can be one of the most painful events that a family will ever undergo. Relationships, whether common law or marital, end for a variety of reasons. Regardless of the circumstances, when a relationship fails, all parties involved will undoubtedly experience a wide range of extreme emotions. The real test is how the parties handle the separation. The manner in which they choose to conduct themselves in sorting out their legal affairs will have lasting consequences, not only for the separating couple, but also (and especially) for any children of the relationship. When a couple separates, it is essential that the relationship not be viewed as a “broken” relationship, but rather as a “transitioning” relationship. Even though the parties are no longer linked romantically, if children are involved, they will remain interconnected as co-parents and owe a duty to their children to take the high road. Lawyers constantly encourage their clients to remove emotions from the legal process. It is ideal for separating

parents to come to the table to resolve their legal issues in a cool and calm manner, making decisions in the best interests of their children (as opposed to using the legal process as a means to exact revenge upon their ex). Fortunately, most family law matters, including separations, settle without having to resort to litigious court battles. However, for matters that ultimately end up in to court, while the consequences can be devastating for the separating couple, they can be especially damaging to the children caught in the middle. Consider, for example, the negative details that are often exposed in court pleadings, the necessity of polarized positions, the running up of large legal bills and the tendency to drag the kids into the heart of the battle. Separating parents need to be reminded that court is not the only option. Alternative dispute resolution, such as mediation or collaborative law, should not be ruled out as a way to resolve legal issues arising from separation. If separating parents are unable to settle legal issues outside of court, it

A LOOK BACK

is important to note that all decisions that a court makes regarding parenting will be done with the best interests of the children in mind. The following general words of advice to separating parents may seem simple and commonsensical. However, it is surprising how often such advice is disregarded when a separation is occurring: 1) Be there for your children. They are going to experience sadness and hurt over the separation. 2) Do your best to maintain some stability in the lives of your children. Keeping routines can be comforting. Keep showing up to their school functions and extra-curricular activities. Don’t skip these events because you are having a bad day or because you dread the thought of running into your ex. 3) Try to get along with your ex the best that you can for the sake of your children. Make your dealings as amicable as possible 4) Make every effort not to place your children in an uncomfortable position (i.e., asking your kids to choose sides or bombarding them with questions about your ex). 5) Try not to put your ex down in the presence of your children and refrain

from any attempts to “brainwash” your children to turn against your ex. In the legal world, such behavior is referred to as parental alienation and is not tolerated by the courts. If you are angry or frustrated with your ex, do not take it out on the children. Abstain from arguing with your ex in the presence of your kids. 6) If your ex has entered into a new relationship, make every effort possible to try to get along with his or her new partner. While it is impossible to entirely eliminate the pain that children will feel as a result of separation, the adjustment may be easier if adequate boundaries are placed around any conflict between the separating parents. In the long run, the children will benefit from a respectful and cooperative relationship between all parties involved. This means that is essential that separating parents take the high road and place the needs of their kids first. Legally Speaking appears regularly on Wednesdays in the Advocate.

DAISY DESTRUCTION

Cougar killers available to help farmers 25 years ago (1987) Model flying field opens: Ten years ago, when a small group of men formed Central Alberta Radio Fun Flyers, they dreamed of owning their own flying field. Now the “universal dream” of all model aviation clubs is a reality for the local club. Under grey skies, the club officially opened Bawtinheimer Air Field. The $11,000 model aircraft field will now be the club’s home to fly planes forever. City hit by frost: Frost dusted low-lying areas of Central Alberta early this morning, as temperatures dropped to near record lows. The Environment Canada weather office reported Red Deer’s low temperature Tuesday was 3C. The record low of 2C was set in 1985.

50 years ago (1962) Taylor presides at ribbon cutting: The Garrington Bridge was opened by on. Gordon E. Taylor, minister of highways, fulfilling 47 years of dreaming, planning, and hoping among citizens in the area. The $385,000 concrete structure is the third bridge to cross the Red Deer River in that general area. The first was opened in 1908 and washed out in 1915. It was reconstructed that year, but fell victim to the wiles of the unpredictable river in 1917. A second bridge in the area was opened in 1911 but was destroyed in a 1915 flood. The ferry at Garrington Crossing was put into service in 1917 and has served “more or less” since. The ferry was still in service a few hundred yards upstream from the new bridge until the official opening ceremonies were complete. Three cougar killers in Central Alberta district: The Fish and Wildlife Supervisor for Red Deer subdivision got right down to business in an interview Friday. “We’re having cougar problems,” he said, “and a lot of local farmers are after us — they don’t know what to do about them.” Cougars have been spotted right inside Red Deer, Rimbey and Clive, and several reports have mentioned them along the Red Deer River over much of its length. Unfortunately, none of the reports has been fresh enough, he said, to enable him to take any organized action. To be able to track down a cougar in the summer, a registered cougar killer needs to be after him with his dogs within an hour or two so the scent is not lost. In the Red Deer area, there are three registered cougar killers. When a report comes in, the closest must go.

The Horticultural Society has done great work in recent years in establishing the claim of Red Deer to be known as the Garden City.

Your car has value only when you fully own it BY SANDRA NOLAN SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE

BUDGET BUSTING

It does not matter if this is your first time making out a budget or if you have been doing them for years. Mistakes can happen, something gets overlooked and something just gets forgotten till the bill arrives. Often when you first start thinking about doing a budget things might not get included in your first draft. People often forget payments such as car payments. These do have to go in the debt column. Your car is not really an asset while you are stilling making payments on it. It does have value, yes, but until you own it free and clear it is not an asset for you. You owe on it the payments are in the debt column. After it has been paid for go ahead and move the real value of it to the asset column. Now there are still lots of costs associated with car ownership. There is the insurance that has to be in place.

There are registration costs. There is fuel, washer fluid even tires that are all costs to keep your car on the road these go up and down throughout the year. Depending on where you live there is the cost of parking. Then there are the costs people usually forget to cover till it comes due. Your driver’s licence. It is easy to forget items like this they are not a daily or even yearly expense. So do not let them slip past you. Other things that fall into the grey area are membership dues to clubs and organizations that are yearly or more. There are school dues that need to be paid. There are union dues if you belong to one. Even gym memberships and magazine/satellite radio subscriptions. One way to make sure these do not get lost in the shuffle and end up popping up later to surprise you is to pay them monthly. Make the payment automatic through the bank if you can, one less hassle for you. If this is not an option be sure to have a line in your

budget for it. Put aside the weekly payments yourself till the bill comes due. Often an item people find easy to forget is the money that they owe to friend and family. They often think that, ‘oh they know I am good for it or that hey they are family they will wait.’ This is very selfish your friends and family also have their own bills to pay and the money that you owe them could be putting financial pressure on them. Sooner or later they will start to resent that especially if they see you out spending on indulgences and not making any effort to pay them back. Just because they are not putting your debt into collections or calling nonstop does not mean you can place them at the bottom of the list. They have to be a priority as well. You need help from others and they may have great ideas you may have never thought of. Do not let anyone fall through the cracks when dealing with your debt.

Parents with sick children Ottawa wins can make EI claims: Harper on wage curbs BY THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER — Canadian parents caring for critically ill children will be eligible for a special Employment Insurance benefit under a proposed change announced Tuesday by Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Parents who have to take time off work to take care of a child suffering from a life-threatening illness or injury will be eligible for up to 35 weeks of the special benefit, Harper said at a news conference in Vancouver. The change is expected to affect approximately 6,000 families a year. Harper addressed a small group of parents gathered for the announcement at a Vancouver elementary school.

“I can only imagine how tough that is, and sadly, there is nothing government can do for that emotional pain,” said Harper, himself a father. “But there is another pain: it is the financial hardship that often comes with these situations. It comes when a parent is forced to choose between their financial well-being or taking time off to care for their child. That is an area where Canadians can use their government to help ease the difficulties of their neighbours, and they should. “We understand the vital role that a parent plays in helping a child back to health.” The additional benefits, which must be passed by Parliament, will be available starting in June 2013. Tuesday’s announcement was

the fulfilment of a campaign promise from the Conservatives following a lengthy effort by Sharon Ruth, of Oxford Station, Ont. Ruth’s daughter was six when she was diagnosed with cancer, and the emotional and financial roller-coaster began. “There isn’t much worse you can hear, is there?” Ruth said. She was eligible for just four months of stress leave from her job at a bank, and there was no EI available at that time. Sharon left her job and her husband began driving a school bus for additional income. “Many people have experienced what the Ruth family has experienced,” Harper said. Current rules allow for six weeks of benefits, with a doctor’s note confirming the critical nature of the illness or injury.

Cancer likely behind death of whale BY THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER — The matriarch of the Vancouver Aquarium’s beluga whales likely died of cancer, officials at the facility said Tuesday, ending a long life in captivity that saw Kavna swim for millions of visitors and inspire the popular children’s song “Baby Beluga.” The hulking, white mammal, which at approximately 46 was the oldest of the aquarium’s three whales, died a day earlier after several weeks of de-

clining health. Aquarium veterinarian Dr. Martin Haulena said a necropsy uncovered a series of lesions and tumours. Some were benign and others were more serious and acute, likely the result of a recent and quickly spreading cancer, he said. “Right now, the lesions are most consistent with a cancer, and that is unfortunately a disease we associate with age,” Haulena told reporters Tuesday morning, standing in front of the aquarium’s beluga tank. “So we’re looking at a great life for a great whale who had almost nothing wrong with her.”

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s wage-restraint response to the global economic crisis was constitutional, Ontario’s top court ruled Tuesday in a case that pitted the Conservative government against its own lawyers. The ruling is the first of several pending decisions to reach an Appeal Court arising out of the Expenditure Restraint Act enacted in March 2009 as the world economy collapsed. Essentially, the restraint act rendered bargaining over wages largely moot by capping increases for about 400,000 federal workers at little more than nine per cent over five years, retroactive to 2006. The union representing about 2,700 federal prosecutors and other government lawyers — the Association of Justice Counsel — argued the act robbed it of its constitutionally guaranteed right to bargain. In siding with Ottawa, the Ontario Court of Appeal said the constitutional validity of the restraint act turned on whether the parties had the opportunity for a “meaningful process” of collective bargaining before it was enacted. On that question, it found the association had in fact spent two years bargaining with the federal government before reaching an impasse and going to arbitration. At that point, the association’s charter rights had been satisfied, the court said. “Further negotiation may be possible after the constitutionally protected phase of the process of bargaining has concluded, but that possibility — a remote one on the facts of this case — does not expand the scope of the protected right,” the court ruled. The federal Crown lawyers had long complained they were earning far less — about $106,000 a year on average — than either their provincial counterparts in Ontario or private-sector lawyers. In late June, they reached a tentative agreement that will see pay boosted by 15.25 percentage points as of next May.

Canadian who died in Mexico was stabbed 23 times: police THE CANADIAN PRESS Authorities are releasing more details about the horrific death of yet another Canadian while on vacation in Mexico. The latest victim — identified as Duane Joseph Lang, 46, of Regina — was stabbed 23 times in an apartment in Puerto Vallarta, local authorities said Tuesday. Puerto Vallarta police spokesman Adan Leyva says friends and neighbours couldn’t get a hold of Lang for several days and asked his landlord to check up on him. “(Lang) hadn’t answered the phone for days,” Leyva told The Canadian Press in a phone interview in Spanish. The landlord then let himself into the apartment and came across Lang lying face-up in a pool of blood in the bedroom, Leyva said. “He found blood spattered everywhere, things all over the place, a knife, and immediately called the police,” said Leyva. An autopsy completed on July 30 determined that Lang had been dead for 48-72 hours, said An-

dres Zuniga. He said the warm weather made the forensic investigation difficult, as some samples had decomposed by the time the team arrived on the scene. Lang’s body is still being held in Mexico, said Zuniga. Leyva noted that this wasn’t the first time a foreign national was found dead in that very apartment. “A few years ago the landlord went through a similar experience with another tenant,” said Leyva. A number of Canadians have been involved in violent attacks in Mexico over the years. Earlier this year, Sheila Nabb, of Calgary, had to have extensive facial reconstruction after she was severely beaten while vacationing at a five-star hotel in Mazatlan. In 2010, a 62-year-old man from B.C. living in Mexico was stabbed to death in Puerto Vallarta in a presumed robbery. That same year businessman Daniel Dion’s body was found in the trunk of his burned-out rental car in the state of Guerrero.

WEST VANCOUVER, B.C. — A pack of Porsches was caught speeding on a highway north of Vancouver over the weekend and the drivers didn’t get only tickets, they’ve lost their luxury wheels for a week. West Vancouver Police say four Porsches were pulled over on the Sea to Sky Highway on Saturday by a single officer. The officer had tracked the vehicles travelling up to 131 kilometres an hour in an 80-kilometre zone. The Porsches have been impounded for a week and each driver was handed a ticket for $368. Police say just a week earlier, the same officer issued warnings to members of a Porsche Club telling them the danger of speeding in the area.

Drouin reaches new heights HIGH JUMPER WINS BRONZE, GIVES CANADA ITS 11TH MEDAL OF OLYMPICS MICHAEL FERLAND

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

FLAMES PROSPECT IN HOT WATER

LONDON — Canada returned to the podium at the London Olympics on Tuesday, but the medal came from an unlikely source. On a day that saw triathlete Simon Whitfield and track cyclist Tara Whitten suffer crushing disappointment, it was littleknown high-jumper Derek Drouin who claimed Canada’s 11th medal at the Games. The 22-year-old from Corunna, Ont., won a surprising bronze after finishing in a three-way tie with Great Britain’s Robert Grabarz and Qatar’s Mutaz Essa Barshim. All three competitors cleared 2.29 metres without any misses, but each failed on three attempts at 2.33 metres. Drouin says he kept his focus despite competing in front of 80,000 fans in London’s Olympic Stadium. “I do a good job of getting out there and not noticing everything. I did not notice how big this stadium actually was until I was doing my victory lap,” he said. “I do a pretty good job of zoning everything out, and that was lucky.” The medal is Canada’s first in high jump since the 1976 Games in Montreal when Greg Joy won silver and came with the Canadian team experiencing somewhat of a podium drought in London. Victoria swimmer Ryan Cochrane won silver in the 1,500 metres on Saturday but Canada had been stuck on 10 medals ever since with one gold, three silver and six bronze. Canada still sits 12th in the overall medal standings, three back of the Netherlands for 11th. A three-time NCAA champion for Indiana University, Drouin suffered a foot injury in March 2011 that sidelined him for eight months. “My doctor made it very clear that if I was going to qualify (for London) it was going to be very, very tight. The rehab was extensive, it was very long,” said Drouin. “Basically my goal was just to get through

The Calgary Flames say left-winger Michael Ferland has been charged with assault as a result of an incident outside a bar in Cochrane. Tuesday, team officials met with 20-year-old Ferland, who was drafted by Calgary in 2010 and played with the WHL Brandon Wheat Kings, and are taking steps to learn more about the incident. RCMP officers were called to a disturbance on July 29 outside a bar and found a man had been pushed to the ground. Police say a man who tried to assist the victim was struck in the face and knocked unconscious, and suffered a fractured orbital bone. Investigators say Ferland, is charged with aggravated assault and assault. Ferland was released from an RCMP detachment after he promised to appear in court. He is scheduled to appear in Cochrane court Sept. 4.

Canada’s Derek Drouin jumps to a bronze medal in the men’s high jump final at the Olympic Stadium during the Summer Olympics in London on Tuesday. the season and get to the Olympics and get here.” Apart from Drouin’s bronze, there was bitter disappointment for many Canadian athletes on Tuesday. Whitfield’s bid for a third Olympic medal ended abruptly after he was thrown from his bike and forced to withdraw from the triathlon. It came after the 37-year-old put himself in good position with a strong swim. However, shortly after making the transition to his bike, he lost control while going over a speed bump and crashed into a metal barrier. “I hit the speed bump on a funny an-

gle and ended up crowd surfing, which is good for concerts and not so good for sport events,” said Whitfield, who suffered minor injuries. The Victoria resident was Canada’s flagbearer during the opening ceremony and arrived at the start line with hopes of adding to the gold he won in Sydney and the silver he claimed in Beijing. Instead, he ended up in the arms of wife Jennie while the leaders continued to make their way around the scenic course through Hyde Park.

Aussies impress, Brits continue haul BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON — The home nation continued its Olympic gold rush on Tuesday, Australia regained some of its shine with two wins and an Algerian who didn’t want to run the previous day managed an unexpected 1,500 metres victory.

Runner Taoufik Makhloufi was first in the men’s 1,500 metres one day after he was disqualified and then reinstated after track and field officials ruled he didn’t try hard enough during a heat. The disqualification was later overturned after a medical officer reviewed the evidence, and Makhloufi made his second

chance count, winning the 1,500 title in 3 minutes, 34.08 seconds. “It was the will of God. Yesterday I was out and today I was in,” Makhloufi said. “I dedicate this to all the people of Algeria and the Arab world.” The chill, dank day began with one former Olympic champion — Liu Xiang — lasting only a few meters while another

Australia’s Sally Pearson runs in the women’s 100-metre hurdles during the athletics in the Olympic Stadium at the 2012 Summer Olympics. Pearson was one of two Australians to win gold, Tuesday.

— Usain Bolt — jogged gently down the track in his first steps towards a second straight golden sprint double. Earlier, Australia’s Sally Pearson set an Olympic record in the 100-metre hurdles final and gave her country its fourth gold medal of the games — and second of the day after cyclist Anna Meares was first in the velodrome’s high-profile sprint. Pearson had to wait several seconds after crossing the line in the main stadium before the big screen showed she had beaten defending champion Dawn Harper of the United States by just .02 hundredths of a second. She screamed and dropped to the ground, finally getting Olympic gold after finishing second four years ago. In other track and field competitions on Tuesday night, Ivan Ukhov of Russia won a gold medal in men’s high jump, and Ilya Zakharov of Russia won Olympic diving gold medal in men’s 3-meter springboard. The track and field finals completed a day during which Britain played the role of greedy hosts, piling on four gold medals with wins in cycling, triathlon and dressage to achieve its highest gold medal total in 104 years. Britain ended Germany’s domination of equestrian team dressage by winning the gold medal at Greenwich Park, adding to its first team show jumping gold in 60 years that it won a day earlier.

The Innisfail Merchants didn’t plan on hosting the Western Canadian Junior AAA Baseball Championships this year, but when asked they jumped at the idea. “We were asked last year while attending the Western Canadians (in Winnipeg) if we’d host it this year and Des (Desmond Bouteiller) jumped on it,” explained Merchants Jay Steeves, who manages the team along with Bouteiller. “It takes a lot of work, but it’s been good and something we’re looking forward to.” The tournament opens Thursday and runs through Sunday at Innisfail and Red Deer’s Great Chief Park. The Merchants, who were called the Indians last season, are still in their infancy after being thrown together last year to play the St. Albert Tigers in the provincial final. They beat the Tigers 2-1 in the best-of-three affair, then captured silver at the Western Canadians, losing to the Altona Bisons of Manitoba in the final. The Western championships consists of two teams each from

WESTERN CANADIAN JUNIOR AAA BASEBALL CHAMPIONSHIP Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan. The St. Boniface Legionaires, who replaced Altona, and the Carillon Sultans represent Manitoba with the Weyburn Beavers and Moose Jaw Eagles from Saskatchewan with Team Alberta, a midget all-star team, rounding out the tournament. For several years Manitoba and Saskatchewan were the only teams at the Westerns. “They kept it alive waiting for Alberta to come back,” explained Steeves. “So last year they were excited to see us and for someone in Alberta to host.” Innisfail has a senior team where a lot of the juniors play during the Parkland Baseball League season. “We decided to put together a team last year so younger guys coming out of bantam and midget have a place to play,” explained Steeves, who has the majority of players returning from last year. “We lost two players from Provost, but added three or four guys. But basically we have a veteran group.” The biggest problem they had last year

was at the plate. “It was the first year using wood bats for a lot of the guys and some of them were a bit overwhelmed,” added Steeves. “But this year a lot of the guys have used wood bats and the offence should increase. Last year pitching and defence were our strengths and we should be strong again in those areas.” The Merchants have 19 players on their roster, including seven from Innisfail and four from Red Deer. A number of the players have played midget AAA in Red Deer, including Corbyn Shields and Brett Littlefair of Innisfail, Taze Steeves and Brady Porter of Red Deer, Blair Mulder of Lacombe and Cal Ireland of Clive. Mark Fay of Red Deer, who is with the Red Deer Riggers, also played the midget AAA Braves, but won’t be on the Merchants’ roster after tearing a ligament in his ankle playing football with the Central Alberta Buccaneers.

Dodgers come home with AA championship The Lacombe Dodgers downed the Heisler Cardinals 8-5 to capture the provincial senior AA baseball championship during the weekend. Myles Shaw crashed a three-run home run to break a 4-4 tie in the fifth inning and propel the Dodgers to victory.

Brendan Huber tossed five innings to pick up the win with Jeff Morris recording the save. The win earned the Dodgers a berth in the Western Canadian championship, Aug, 24-26 in Winnipeg. Their next action is the Parkland Baseball League playoffs, this weekend in Eckville.

STORIES FROM B4

BRONZE: No regrets “That’s not how I pictured the script ending,” said Whitfield. Meanwhile, Whitten finished a disappointing fourth in the women’s six-race omnium. The 32-year-old from Edmonton, a medal hopeful who won bronze in the women’s team pursuit on Saturday, was distraught with the result. “I have no regrets,” Whitten said while fighting back tears. “I’ve loved this journey. And I’ve experienced success and disappointment, and a bit of everything. I mean, that’s part of sport.” Drouin’s success at the Olympic Stadium couldn’t be matched by Phylicia George of Markham, Ont., and Calgary’s Jessica Zelinka. Both qualified for the final of the women’s 100-metre hurdles, but George wound up sixth, while Zelinka was seventh.

The Canadian team is protesting the result. ● Toronto’s Aaron Brown and Jared Connaughton of New Haven, P.E.I., both advanced to the semifinals of the men’s 200 metres. ● Vancouver’s Zac Plavsic placed 10th in windsurfing. ● Emilie Fournel of Lachine, Que., finished sixth in her semifinal in the 500-metre K-1 and didn’t qualify for the final. ● Halifax’s Geoff Harris finished seventh the semifinals of the men’s 800-metre race and did not advance.

RED DEER RIGGERS The Riggers lost game one of the Sunburst League/ provincial semifinal series against the Parkland White

GOLD: Total to 22 Alistair Brownlee won the triathlon — his younger brother Jonathan took bronze — and British cyclists Chris Hoy won the keirin and Laura Trott the women’s omnium. It took Britain’s gold total to 22, easily surpassing the 19 they won in Beijing. It’s the country’s best gold total since it won 56 golds in 1908 — the first time the games were held in London. Brownlee won the men’s triathlon in a time of 1 hour, 46 minutes, 25 seconds on a picturesque course through Hyde Park and The Serpentine lake. Australia’s Meares stopped the British gold rush at the velodrome when she beat Victoria Pendleton in the sprint. It was Meares who ended Pendleton’s run of four straight world titles in 2011, and who Pendleton eliminated in the semifinals in May to regain her championship. It was the British veteran’s final race before retiring. In news away from the competition, Cameroon’s Olympic chief said seven of the country’s Olympic competitors were missing from the athletes’ village, prompting concern they may attempt to seek asylum in Britain. David Ojong, head of mission for Team Cameroon, said the seven all hold visas which would allow them to remain in Britain until at least November. He said that five boxers, a swimmer and a football player had disappeared from the village, at the Olympic Park in Stratford, east London. On the final day of gymnastics, China’s Deng Linlin won gold on balance beam, upstaging teammate and reigning world champion Sui Lu. It was the second gold of the day for the Chinese, following Feng Zhe’s title on parallel bars. Epke Zonderland won gold on high bar. American Aly Raisman took a gold on floor exercise, about an hour after getting a bronze on balance beam. Natalia Ishchenko and Svetlana Romashina extended Russia’s domination of synchronized swimming with an Olympic gold medal in duet. They haven’t lost an Olympic synchro event since the 1996 Atlanta Games. In sailing, Dorian van Rijsselberge of the Netherlands won the men’s RS-X windsurfing event. The Dutch windsurfer came into the medal race with gold mathematically assured, knowing he only had to turn up and compete — even if he finished last — to clinch the victory. Marina Alabau won Spain’s first gold in the women’s RS-X windsurfing race. China’s former world-record holder and 2004 Olympic champion Liu tumbled into the first hurdle

Four years ago in Beijing, Liu’s Olympics ended after two full strides, when he withdrew from his preliminary heat with right foot and hamstring injuries. Two nights after winning gold in the 100, Usain Bolt easily won his qualifying heat, glancing to his right and left as he trotted past the finish line in 20.39 seconds. That was well outside the world record of 19.19 he set at the 2009 world championships, but one that could be in danger of being broken in the semifinals and final on Thursday. “It was good. Got to take it easy,” Bolt said.

CHAMPS: Old time baseball Ireland also plays in the Sunburst Baseball League with the Red Deer Stags. Kyle Burkitt, Tristan Cunningham, Riley Wik. Jay Kirkham and Scott Dyer are from Innisfail with Alex Roth from Forestburg, Jesse Scheunert from Huxley, McLean Cruthers from St. Albert, Riley Elliott from Red Deer and Greg Walsh and Matt and Jamie Whitehead from Calgary. The team has 11 players listed as pitchers with only two — Matt and Jamie Whithead — strictly pitchers. “We’re deep on the mound, but with a five-game round-robin, then hopefully the final, we’ll need to be,” said Steeves. The Merchants are looking to bring old time baseball back to the Central Alberta community and make the championships a family event. The tournament opens Thursday with the Merchants clashing with Team Alberta in Innisfail and Weyburn meeting Moose Jaw at Great Chief. Both games are at 7 p.m. The Merchants meet St. Boniface at noon and Carillon at 6:30 p.m. on Friday and take on Moose Jaw at 9 a.m. and Weyburn at 6 p.m. Saturday. Also in Innisfail on Friday the Sultans clash with the Beavers at 9 a.m. and Team Alberta meets Weyburn at 3:30 p.m. At Great Chief Park, Team Alberta clashes with Moose Jaw at 9 a.m. and St. Boniface takes on Moose Jaw at 6:30 p.m. On Saturday Weyburn and St. Boniface meet at noon and Moose Jaw clashes with Carillon at 3 p.m. in Innisfail while Team Alberta faces Carillon at 9 a.m. and St. Boniface at 6 p.m. at Great Chief Park.

Raonic serves up win at Rogers Cup BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

Canada’s Milos Raonic serves against Serbia’s Viktor Troicki during the Rogers Cup in Toronto on Tuesday. Raonic won his opening match 6-3, 6-4.

TORONTO — Milos Raonic is the last Canadian left in the Rogers Cup men’s tournament. Raonic disposed of Viktor Troicki of Serbia 6-3, 6-4 on Tuesday, while fellow countrymen Frank Dancevic and Vasek Pospisil lost their matches, Raonic said he felt no unusual pressure playing before his hometown crowd. “Obviously it’s a little bit different when you got on the court, but before the match I really didn’t change anything the way I would normally,” he said. The 21-year-old from Thornhill, Ont., appeared completely at ease as he recorded the first Rogers Cup victory in his short, rapidly rising career. His next opponent could be Olympic champion Andy Murray who plays in the tournament Wednesday. “I played him earlier this year,” Raonic said. “I know if I play well, I’ll have my opportunities.” Earlier in the day, Juan Monaco of Argentina defeated Pospisil of Vancouver 7-5, 6-4 and Mikhail Kukushkin of Kazakhstan defeated Dancevic of Niagara Falls, Ont., 6-3, 7-5. “I don’t think there was really too much nerves,” Raonic said. “Maybe one ball, I maybe overran a little bit and rushed through that point. “But other than that, I sort of came out and was pretty fluid and relaxed throughout the match from the beginning to the end.” Near the end, Raonic said he might have tried to force things in his return game on Troicki’s serve. “I was making some sloppy errors and giving away too many points at that point,” he said. Raonic’s serve is his biggest weapon and he hammered seven aces in the match that took one hour eight minutes to play. He would like to continue to improve other aspects of his game so that as his career evolves he will be known for more than a big serve. “I hope so,” he said. “That’s definitely the plan. That’s what I am going to need to do if I am going to achieve the things I want to achieve.”

Shields shuts down Jays in Tampa Bay BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Tampa Bay 4 Toronto 1 ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — James Shields threw eight strong innings, Evan Longoria drove in a run in his return from an injury, and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Toronto Blue Jays 4-1 on Tuesday night. Shields (10-7) allowed one run and two hits. The right-hander was coming off a three-hit shutout last Tuesday at Oakland. Longoria rejoined the Rays after missing 85 games because of a partially torn left hamstring. He went 1-for-3 with a sacrifice fly as the designated hitter. Fernando Rodney pitched the ninth for his 33rd save and completed the three-hitter. The closer set a team record for relievers — breaking the mark set by Joe Borowski (21) in 2005 — by extending his shutout streak to 22 consecutive innings. Longoria got a standing ovation before his first at-bat in the second, when left-hander J.A. Happ (0-1) reached behind his legs to glove a grounder and then threw out the three-time All-Star. Longoria made it 2-0 on a bases-loaded sacrifice fly in the third, an opposite-field drive caught at the wall by right fielder Moises Sierra. Jeff Keppinger extended the lead to 3-0 on another sacrifice fly later in the inning. After striking out in the fifth, Longoria ended his night with a line-drive single to centre in the eighth. The Rays stopped a 22-inning scoreless stretch and took a 1-0 lead in the second as Ryan Roberts — mired in a 3-for-32 slide — hit a two-out pop fly double down the right-field line and scored on Sean Rodriguez’s single. Colby Rasmus hit his 20th homer, a solo shot in the fourth, that got Toronto within 3-1. Rasmus, who had missed the previous two games because of tightness in his right groin, singled in the ninth. Tampa Bay went ahead 4-1 in the fifth on Ben Zobrist’s RBI double. Zobrist had left Sunday’s game with upper back spasms. Happ, making his first start with the Blue Jays, gave up four runs and seven hits in 4 1-3 innings. He

Butterfield rides his way to a big payday in Strathmore

RODEO

broken up by intense bursts of athletic performance. There’s no Olympic training regimes to prepare for such a challenge, nor trainers or dieticians helping them maximize performance. It’s self-driven survival of the fittest. “To tell you the truth, I’ve been so tired,” Butterfield admitted. “But ever since I started riding broncs I’ve wanted to be in this position. To be this close to the top fifteen, you can’t slow down. But it wears a guy out. We’ll probably be home just a couple days all of August. “Since I’ve gotten a little older, I’ve been trying to eat right, and we hammer water into us driving down the road. It’s amazing how you get dehydrated in all this heat. When you can, you sleep. If we have time to sleep. But adrenaline kicks in and you can get it done out there (in the arena). We’ll get some sleep. It’ll be all right.” With that, Butterfield and Kelts loaded up their saddles, grabbed a few extra cowboys to help with the next 14-hour journey, and hit the road.

Other Strathmore winners included Skylar McBride of Madden in the bull riding, with an 86.75 on Northcott’s Inside Job, for $6,260. Barrel racing went to Kelli Tolbert of Utah for a 17.383 second run, and $6,768. All 10 places in tie-down roping were separated by a mere half-second, with last hole a rapid 7.9 seconds. Best of the bunch was Texan Hunter Herrin at 7.4, for $5,668. South Dakota’s Chason Floyd took first in steer wrestling with a time of 3.9 seconds, worth $6,387, while Dustin Bird and Paul Eaves won the team roping, and $2,961 each, in 4.6 seconds. The bareback riding Strathmore title went to Wardlow’s Jake Marshall for an 85.25 point ride on American Trip, giving him $6,260. Rylan Geiger of Duchess collected $6,035 for his 84.50 point ride on Devils Who, which was first in the saddle bronc riding. Lane Watt of Hardisty was the novice saddle bronc champion, while Calgary’s Jacob Stemo took the novice bareback riding, and Barrhead’s Kagen Schmidt won the steer riding.

It’s the kind of pace rodeo cowboys long for — riding in a different town every day in the summer heat, drawing the right stock, and winning money. If only the reality of that vision wasn’t such darn hard work. Luke Butterfield is living the dream and it’s paid well over the past week. The Ponoka saddle bronc rider has already secured a spot to his sixth Canadian Finals Rodeo and is shooting for his first National Finals Rodeo qualification as well. Butterfield gave his rodeo account a $4,778 injection Monday with an 83.50 point ride in Strathmore, on Vold’s DIANNE newest bucking sensation FINSTAD Seven Thirty Seven. The mark was good enough for second place. “I was really excited,” confirmed Butterfield. “I’d seen that horse four or five times this year and it looked really good.” It was an outstanding section of bronc riding that afternoon, with horses like the Central Alberta raised product, Pedro, plus Awesome and Eclypse, dumping world champions to the ground. But Butterfield came out and matched moves with the dark stallion across the arena, spurring in time and chalking up the points. “That horse felt good. He was snappy and helped you out, moving your feet to the front end. We got out on her real good and that was a key deal.” Butterfield, who turns 28 next week, has made a series of solid rides the last few days across the countryside, including winning both High Prairie and Grimshaw as well as placing at Abbotsford, B.C. “This was a heckuva week,” Butterfied related. “Everywhere I went, I placed. Split third at Great Falls, won some at Dodge City, second at Abbotsford, it’s been really good. I’ve been drawing really good and everything’s feeling good. I’ve got to try to keep it rolling as long as possible.” He estimates his winnings should be closing in on $9,000, but it’s taken a lot of travelling to get that cash and the road work is far from over. “We’re in La Crete tomorrow, then Sikeston, Mo., Thursday; I think Hermiston (Ore.) Friday; Omak (Wash.) Saturday; Sunday Dawson Creek (B.C). We’re on the trail to try to make the NFR.” That kind of pace and that kind of route doesn’t exactly qualify as ‘summer vacation’. But it is necessary business travel. Butterfield’s fellow road warrior is Sam Kelts, whose NFR drive late last season was sidelined by a very serious head injury, which kept him out of the CFR as well. The two cowboys are about $10,000 out of the world’s top 15, which is where they need to be to book trips to Las Vegas in December. The Millarville cowboy is doing his best to keep in step with Butterfield, only a quarter point behind him with an 83.25 ride in Strathmore, for third spot and $4,023; and taking first at Abbotsford. “When a guy’s on a roll and feels like he’s riding good, you just want to get on as many as you can,” declared Kelts. “We know we’ve just got to keep winning,” Butterfield added. “We’re kind of in that boat where we’ve just got to rodeo. We’ll be rodeoing to the bitter end to try and make the NFR. It’s a lot of driving, but it will be worth it.” It’s hard to imagine that much time in a vehicle,

MERCANTILE STORE PLANNED FOR SUNNYBROOK FARM MUSEUM BY LAURA TESTER ADVOCATE STAFF A mercantile store telling the story of Central Alberta’s co-operative movement will open at Red Deer’s Sunnybrook Farm Museum in 2013. The museum received a $50,000 donation on Tuesday from Red Deer Co-op, Servus Credit Union, Concentra Financial and The Co-operators Insurance to support the development of a Co-operative Mercantile Store, a $120,000 exhibition building on the agricultural museum site. Larry Parks, general manager of Red Deer Co-op, spearheaded the project because he thought it would be great to celebrate the United Nations’ 2012 International Year of Cooperatives. “I thought we could build a co-op store somewhere,” said Parks. “The farm was the perfect spot.” He called other co-operatives and the three other partners were quick to get on board. “I think we’ll be able to make it like an old-fashioned general store and I’m sure there will be a designated area for the Credit Union, for Concentra, Co-operators,” said Parks. “We just think it’s a good fit and it will tell the co-op story.” Parks said the co-operatives are closely linked in history as well. Museum executive director Ian Warwick said the donation is significant. The project’s total cost is estimated at $120,000, with the

The idea was pitched at a time when the South Development project at the farm is being formed to showcase a living farm community. Included in the project is a 1920s heritage garage, which is underway and will be next to

the new store. Projects like these take some time to build because volunteer labour is used, Warwick said. The project also includes relocating the museum’s entrance and parking areas off Botterill Crescent, plus adding the Calder School Interpretive Centre. “When you think of a farm

community, the residents didn’t always go into town, they went to the store,” said Warwick. Warwick said the community will be able to get involved in the project by donating artifacts from the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s. Last year, the museum saw an estimated 12,000 visitors come through. ltester@reddeeradvocate.com

Massage industry still trying to get handle on new standards THERAPISTS NEED PROPER TRAINING OR EQUIVALENCY

Students return to St. Patrick’s BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF

BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF Achy Central Albertans may not be able to see their massage therapist of choice because of changing insurance standards. Some of the biggest insurance companies are moving towards policies requiring massage therapists have 2,200 hours of formal training or pass an equivalent competency exam before insurance claims will be covered. That means some clients may find their insurance claims for treatment rejected. The Natural Health Practitioners of Canada (NHPC), which represents most of the province’s massage therapists, is particularly upset with how one insurer is going about making the changes. Eric Morin, a spokesperson for the Natural Health Practitioners of Canada (NHPC), says while many major insurers have been giving the industry time to adopt to the new standards, Manulife Insurance has set Oct. 1 as the deadline for the new standard. Other insurers have provided more time, he said. For instance, Alberta Blue Cross has given the association until May 1, 2013. Sun Life Financial is still accepting claims but will switch over to the new standard when the exam becomes available. Earlier this year, insurers said they wanted some kind of examination to evaluate against the 2,200-hour standard. That is now being developed by the NHPC and will be ready soon. There has been talk of allowing exemptions for experienced massage therapists but insurers have not defined who would qualify, he said. The impending adoption of the new standard means those who have recently graduated from 2,200-hour programs are considered more qualified than someone with a decade’s experience, he said. “It’s absurd. That’s the only way to put it.” Morin said they are not opposed to providing an examination. “But we are saying there should be some kind of grandfathering. Manulife did not return messages for comment. Red Deer massage therapist Brenda Grosenick said when requirements change in many professions, those already practising are grandfathered in, a recognition that they have shown their competency already.

Massage therapist Amber Squires treats a client. “That’s pretty standard and for some reason that hasn’t been happening,” said Grosenick, who supports a 2,200-hour standard, which would be consistent with other provinces. Grosenick, of Edwards and Holloway Health and Wellness Centre, doesn’t see why a therapist who was acceptable to insurers previously should arbitrarily no longer be considered acceptable. Massage therapist Amber Squires supports the goal of ensuring practitioners have the two years of training to get to 2,200 hours, but believes Manulife is rushing things. Manulife’s Oct. 1 deadline doesn’t give people much time to study or save the money for the test, which runs in the hundreds of dollars. “I think the idea of it is a good thing but I think they are kind of

hurting some people in the interim because they are rushing it so much.” But there is much value to bringing in the 2,200-hour standard, she said. The second year of the program is when therapists specialize in clinical assessment and corrections or other specialities. “It’s kind of like the difference between going to your doctor or getting sent to a specialist for your special injury.” The Massage Therapist Association of Alberta and other associations representing massage therapists have also been working with the province over the last few years to have massage therapy regulated under the Health Professions Act using the 2,200-hour standard. That has not happened yet. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

Sounds of laughter and the opening of lockers echoed through the hallways at St. Patrick’s Community School in north Red Deer. On Tuesday, students and staff returned to the classrooms after four weeks of summer fun. The kindergarten to Grade 9 school is the only one in Red Deer that offers a year-round program. In a year-round school, the calendar is modified to allow for spread out breaks throughout out the year. Students attend classes 186 days a year, the same as traditional calendar students. Students attending a year-round school, however, get longer breaks at Thanksgiving, Christmas and spring. This is the 15th year that St. Patrick’s has operated with an alterative school calendar. Principal Margaretrose Willms said the student population continues to grow, which shows there is a need for this calendar option in the city. Last year, 613 students registered compared to roughly 707 this year on the first day of school. Willms said research has shown that shorter breaks from school helps students with retention of material learned over the school year. “It’s a huge benefit for families who are in any kind of summer workforce industry like construction or farming,” said Willms. “Summer is their busy time. They can’t go on holidays. “When their students attend year-round schooling, they can go in October or spring break. They get the extended time to go on holiday and it doesn’t interfere with their child’s education.” Students do not seem to mind the shorter summer break, either.

SCHOOL: Breaks spread throughout the year Caleigh Meraw, 12, a Grade 7 student, is in her second year at St. Pat’s. She switched from St. Teresa of Avila Elementary School to participate in the hockey program. Meraw said she likes the switch in calendar because the breaks are spread out throughout the year. She gets to hang out with her friends from other schools on the weekends and after school. “It gives you enough break in summer time so you can fit in all your fun,” said Meraw. “This summer blew by and I did all my fun. I was excited to get back to school.” Anna Cameron, 12, a Grade 8 student, has attended St. Pat’s since she was in Grade 2. Cameron said she is unsure she would like to have a longer break in the summer because she is used to the year-round calendar. Students who attend traditional schools in Red Deer head back to classes on Sept. 4. crhyno@reddeeradvocate.com

Family that adopted lost dog allows pooch to return home Bert the shih tzu is back home. The tiny dog was re-united with the Setter family on Tuesday morning at Red Deer’s Alberta Animal Services. The animal control operator adopted the family pet out shortly after it had disappeared from their backyard. Colleen Setter picked up Bert after receiving a phone call from Alberta Animal Services to say that the family, which had adopted him and had him for more than a week, had decided not to keep him. She said the pooch, which has a brother named Buddy, was “excited, happy and confused” when she picked him up. “I thought we would never see him again,” said Setter. “I want to thank the family for having a change of heart and tak-

ing such good care of him.” Alberta Animal Services also did a good job of mediating with the family, Setter said. Legally, Alberta Animal Services only has to wait 72 hours before the pet is considered its property, so it can be euthanized, put up for adoption or transferred to another centre. That’s if they don’t have a microchip or tattoo or, in the case of a dog, a licence. The City of Red Deer contracts the company to provide animal control. City of Red Deer Inspections and Licensing manager Howard Thompson said earlier that Alberta Animal Services acted within the guidelines of the city dog bylaw. Setter said she learned some valuable lessons as a result of losing her dog. At the time of its disappearance on July 17, it didn’t have its collar on because it just had a bath.

Health inquiry in October The inquiry into queue-jumping in Alberta’s health-care system will begin in October with oral submissions from people and organizations seeking standing or funding to participate in the inquiry. The Health Services Preferential Access Inquiry was announced after a report by the Alberta Health Quality Council exposed widespread problems in the health system. If the inquiry determines preferential access is occurring, it will make recommendations to prevent improper access in the future. Submissions for standing or funding will be heard in Edmonton on Oct. 15 and 16 and in Calgary on Oct. 18 and 19. Applications must be received in writing no later than Aug. 31. Rules and procedures for standing and funding applications are available at www.healthaccessinquiry.ca. Dates, times and places for the inquiry’s evidentiary hearings will be announced at a later date. The inquiry’s findings will be released at the end of April.

Man survives raft incident A Sylvan Lake man escaped harm while a Calgary man is fighting for his life in hospital following a rafting accident at the Wyndham Carseland Provincial Park, south of Calgary, on Sunday evening. High River RCMP said the two men had attempted to guide a raft over a weir and were ejected from the raft. The 27-year-old Sylvan Lake man swam back to the shore unharmed. The 26-year-old Calgary man pulled himself onto the raft, which was trapped in a heavy current at the bottom of the weir. Rescue attempts by a search and rescue team were at first unsuccessful and the man was eventually pulled under the water.

“It’s so important to have your dog licensed or tattooed or microchipped,” said Setter. Setter said both of her dogs are now licensed, as of Tuesday. Bert was microchipped by the family that had adopted him. Setter is microchipping Buddy. She is also paying a bill of $620 in neutering, microchipping and adoption fees that will be returned to the family. The remaining $500 is paid in city fines for having her dog running at large, and not having a licence. Alberta Animal Services runs a good pet adoption program, Setter said. “It’s just that this was an unfortunate situation.” The dog control bylaw needs to be amended, she added. “I think the length of time that they adopt or euthanize should be changed,” said Setter. “And their fees are outrageous.” ltester@reddeeradvocate.com

Bert cuddles with his pal Buddy and owner Colleen Setter after Alberta Animal Services returned the lost and adopted out shihtzu Tuesday.

He resurfaced a few minutes later and was rescued search and rescue personnel and emergency medical services. He was transported to Foothills Medical Centre in Calgary, where he is in critical condition. The man’s identify is being withheld pending notification of next of kin.

Local man missing Red Deer city RCMP are searching for a man who has been missing for almost a week. On Aug. 2 at about 5:50 p.m., RCMP received a complaint of a missing 40-year-old last seen in Red Deer. Gregory Hebel was last seen in a U-haul truck. The truck was found in Gregory Hebel the city’s north end. Police have made inquiries into his known frequented locations. Spokeswoman Const. Julie Letal said his disappearance isn’t suspicious at this point. She wasn’t aware of any mental health or other medical issues. Hebel is described as Caucasian; being 1.83 metres tall, with a tattoo on his shoulder. He has short blond hair and has blue eyes. Anyone with information is asked to call RCMP at 403-343-5575.

Preliminary waived A Red Deer man accused of killing his infant daughter waived his right to a preliminary inquiry in Red Deer provincial court on Tuesday. A preliminary inquiry is held to determine if there’s enough evidence to warrant an accused be tried in Court of Queen’s Bench. Julian Thomson, 21, is charged with second-degree murder in relation to the death of four-month-old Zaria McCall. Red Deer City RCMP allege that a family member brought the baby to Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre with head injuries at about 6:30 p.m. on Dec. 2, 2011. The child was airlifted to Stollery Children’s Hospital in Edmonton, where she died the next day. Previously, his lawyer Patty MacNaughton said she wanted a second psychiatric evaluation of her client’s mental state because the wrong tests had been performed. Results of the second evaluation were to determine if the Nov. 15 and 16 preliminary hearing would proceed. Thomson, who remains in custody, is set to appear at Court of Queen’s Bench arraignment on Sept. 10.

Wheat board, grain handlers reach deal WINNIPEG — Farmers can now deliver any wheat, durum and barley they contract with the Canadian Wheat Board to any elevator across the Prairies. The board has announced it has reached handling agreements with all western Canadian grain companies. Board president Ian White says an agreement was finalized Tuesday with 10 companies. There are now almost 20 handlers that have agreed to take grain for the wheat board. The new crop year began last Wednesday. The wheat board no longer has a monopoly on western wheat and barley sales.

Canadian dollar makes gains TORONTO — The loonie shifted above parity with the U.S. dollar Tuesday as crude oil prices moved higher and optimism lingered about the U.S. economy. The Canadian dollar ended the day above par, at 100.25 cents US, up 0.44 of a cent from Friday’s close. Much of the optimism came from a shift in the U.S. markets, where stronger corporate earnings reports have given some credence to a positive shift in the economy, while expectations are materializing that central banks will act to support the economy. The improved sentiment follows data last week on U.S. employment that surprised observers.

BY HARLEY RICHARDS ADVOCATE BUSINESS EDITOR The controversial process of fracking could soon undergo a transformation, thanks to some made-in-Lacombe technology. NEXT Legacy Technologies Inc. has developed an alternative to conventional hydraulic fracturing, which uses a highpressure mix of water, sand and chemicals to squeeze oil and gas out of underground formations. NEXT is marketing a product that it claims achieves superior results, uses far less water, requires no toxic chemicals and doesn’t depend on pump pressure. “It’s going to have a profound impact on the oil and gas industry,” said NEXT CEO Darren Wiltse, who owns the company with a handful of other shareholders. One of those shareholders is a Lacombe resident with a background in the oilpatch service sector. The man, who doesn’t want

to be identified, invented the NEXT process after coming up with the idea more than a decades ago. Wiltse, a mechanical engineer with 30 years in the oil and gas sector, got behind the initiative several years ago and has been pushing it forward since. The resulting product has now been used in 36 wells, and NEXT has a contract with one major oil and gas producer and is in discussion with others. It’s also nearing completion of a commercial-scale blending plant northwest of Lacombe, which will serve as the company’s operational centre. There, an assortment of compounds — the identity of which will be kept a closely guarded secret — will be mixed in drums and transported to well sites. Once injected into a frac zone with a small quantity of water, the material reacts with the reservoir rock to produce exothermic (heat) and kinetic (mechanical) energy. This in turn creates fissures and fractures in the rock, al-

lowing oil or gas to flow to the wellbore. The name NEXT is derived from the term “non-hydraulic exothermic/kinetic energy technology.” Wiltse said the process is superior to hydraulic fracturing in several respects, including the nine ingredients that go into the material it uses. “They’re 100 per cent organic and non-toxic, and this has been verified by a third-party lab.” He added that much less water is required — about 40 litres per frac stage as compared with tens of thousands of litres in the case of conventional techniques. The fractures extend much further, their direction and distance can be controlled, and the manpower and equipment needed are vastly reduced. In fact, a small crew with a couple small vehicles can frac multiple wells per day. “We don’t use any pressurepumping equipment at all,” said Wiltse. The process is flexible, he

Mums make ‘nums’

said, and suitable for conventional and unconventional wells; vertical, directional and horizontal bores; oil and gas plays; and new and existing wells. The exothermic reaction can also be used to free subsurface bitumen in oilsands, and as a replacement for hot oil or acid in wellbore cleanups, he added. Wiltse also described how a separate application is being developed, whereby the hardened compound could be used for well-cementing and even in general construction. That’s because it’s much lighter, stronger and harder than conventional cement, and insulates better. “The possibilities of where this technology will take us are mind-boggling.” Additional information about NEXT Legacy Technologies Inc. and its fracking process can be found on the company’s website at www.next-tech.ca. hrichards@reddeeradvocate. com

BUILDING PERMITS

Housing sector still going strong

WITH KIDS NEARBY BY THE CANADIAN PRESS BY HARLEY RICHARDS ADVOCATE BUSINESS EDITOR With five young children between them, a home-based business seemed the only option for Innisfail entrepreneurs Megan Bridges and Nina Smit — until they decided to incorporate a child-care facility into their business premises. The result is Nummies By Mummies, a deli and bakery in downtown Innisfail that boasts 100 square feet of playspace. Open since March 1, the 5052 50th St. business grew out of Bridges and Smit’s custom cake operation, which they ran out of their busy homes. “It was tough to get the kids occupied well enough that we could actually get stuff accomplished,” said Bridges. The friends had also noted that there was a dearth of options for parents wanting to step out for a beverage or snack while tending to children. “We got tired of trying to go places for coffee and having people look at us oddly.” The solution presented itself in February, when the downtown premises became available. Bridges and Smit adjusted the space for their cafe including the playspace with

Nummies By Mummies is even attracted parents from out of town, said Bridges. “They really enjoy it.” Smit has since stepped

away from the business to devote more time to her family, but Bridges has staff members with children. Nummies By Mummies is open for breakfast, lunch or snacks, with bagged lunches, kid-size meals and custom cakes. It will even organize and host birthday parties.

OTTAWA — Residential construction intentions remained robust in June despite an overall decline in building permits, largely due to reduced activity in the government sector, Statistics Canada reported Tuesday. Overall, building permits declined a less-than-expected 2.5 per cent to $6.8 billion in June, only partly reversing the 7.1 per cent jump of the previous month. But almost all the loss was due to a 54.9 per cent tumble in institutional building intentions to $519 million, partly taking back the 72 per cent gain in May. That drop-off was concentrated in steep declines for government buildings in British Columbia and for medical facilities in Alberta, the agency said. The big surprise was that residential construction intentions — the backbone of the construction industry — remained expansive. Residential building permits rose for the second consecutive month to 4.2 per cent to $4.4 billion in June, with Ontario leading the way with a 18.3 per cent increase. For the year, residential construction is up 15.8 per cent. “That was certainly a bit of surprise,” said economist Peter Buchanan of CIBC World Markets, noting that recent headlines had pointed to a cooling in the housing market. “This would seem to suggest that residential construction added to growth in the second quarter and probably the third quarter as well.”

Major media companies launch Trading bid to oppose BCE-Astral deal settlement BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Three major Canadian media companies have launched a campaign to oppose BCE Inc.’s (TSX:BCE) planned purchase of Astral Media Inc. (TSX:ACM.A), saying the deal would give Bell too much control over the country’s broadcasting landscape. The heads of Cogeco Cable Inc. (TSX:CCA), Eastlink and Quebecor Inc. (TSX:QBR.A) unveiled Tuesday a new online petition against the proposed deal. They raised the spectre of Bell forcing consumers to pay more money for popular television channels, or packaging those channels with less-popular ones, or other services, if the Astral deal goes ahead. The deal still needs approval by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission and the Competition Bureau. “Ottawa must absolutely stop this deal,” said Louis Audet of Cogeco Cable. “If this transaction is approved, Bell Canada will pose a very serious threat to the Canadian broadcasting industry. “Competition will be severely reduced, and the broadcasting market as we know it today will essentially be handcuffed. And the power will shift out of the hands of consumers, and into the hands of the Bell conglomerate.” “Bell Canada would become so dominant that no other company could compete with it to buy popular movies, TV series and sports,”

added Eastlink’s Lee Bragg. “They would use their financial muscle to own all the best content, which would ultimately make it more expensive for consumers.” Astral owns radio stations as well as specialty channels and pay-TV networks, including The Movie Network and HBO Canada. “When you put all this together, especially also on the advertising market, you’re really facing an elephant,” said Pierre Karl Peladeau of Quebecor Inc. (TSX:QBR.A). Bell says that’s not the case. “What we’re seeing is a troika of dominant cable TV providers in their respective territories who will go to any lengths to preserve their dominance,” said Mirko Bibic, the company’s chief legal and regulatory officer. He also singled out Quebecor, accusing the company of wanting to pick and choose its competition. “I found it rather ironic that the dominant player in Quebec media is complaining about this when, even after the transaction, they’ll have a larger share,” Bibic said. Astral Media shareholders voted in May to approve the $3.4-billion acquisition of the TV, radio and billboard company by BCE, but they did not endorse a special $25-million payment to company founder Ian Greenberg. BCE has said it expects the deal will be completed in the second half of the year. Competition Commissioner Melanie Aitken said her office is now conducting its review of the deal.

reached The Alberta Securities Commission has reached a settlement with a Red Deer man who it alleged improperly traded in shares. Kenneth Barry Healing agreed to pay the commission $60,000, plus $5,000 in costs, and to cease trading in securities and exchange contracts for three years. Healing acknowledged in a settlement agreement that he overheard at least parts of a telephone conversation about Honeywell International Inc. acquiring Matrikon Inc. prior to the May 13, 2010 public disclosure of the transaction. He purchased Matrikon shares as a result, and then sold them after the public announcement. Allegations by the commission that Healing’s wife, Sholina SomjiHealing — whose brother Nizar Jaffer Somji of Edmonton was president and CEO of Matrikon — also engaged in illegal insider trading were withdrawn. A hearing into allegations against Nizar Jaffer Somji is scheduled to begin on Aug. 13.

MARKETS CLOSE TORONTO — The Toronto stock market ended near its highs of the day on Tuesday as commodities pushed the market ahead. The S&P/TSX composite index closed up 200.91 points to 11,863.50, in a session partly characterized by playing catch up with U.S. markets after the Civic Holiday. The TSX Venture Exchange rose 3.61 to 1,190.56. The Canadian dollar ended the day above parity, at 100.25 cents US, up 0.44 of a cent from Friday’s close.

Much of the activity was in commodities stocks, with metals and mining stocks leading the way, up 4.6 per cent. HudBay Minerals Inc. (TSX:HBM) stock was up 7.5 per cent, or 63 cents, to $9.02. The September copper contract moved up nearly 5.2 cents to US$3.44 a pound while December gold dropped $3.40 to US$1,612.80 an ounce.

On Wall Street, gains were driven by a renewed sense of optimism about the economy, with better earnings results than expected from several U.S. companies and expectations that central banks will act to support the economy. The Dow Jones industrial average increased 51.09 points to 13,168.60 and the broader S&P was up 7.12 points to 1,401.35. Nasdaq gained 25.95 points at 3,015.86. Of the 407 companies in S&P 500 that reported earnings through Monday, 65 per cent beat Wall Street expectations, according to S&P Capital IQ. More than 40 per cent have reported double-digit growth. Meanwhile, U.S. employers posted the most job openings in four years in June, a positive sign that hiring may pick up. The U.S. Labour Department said Tuesday job openings rose to a seasonally adjusted 3.8 million in June, up from 3.7 million in May. That’s the most since July 2008. Layoffs also fell. The job openings data added heat to optimism over the U.S. jobs market, which already had a dose of positive news last Friday when observers were surprised to see the U.S. economy generated 163,000 jobs last month, better than the 100,000 gain that was projected. Ian Nakamoto, director of research at MacDougall, MacDougall and MacTier said that markets are in a “risk-on environment” after comments from U.S. and European central banks last week were first treated somewhat negatively, but appear to have left markets feeling a little better this week.

Contractors took out $2.5 billion worth of permits in the non-residential sector, down 12.3 per cent, with the decrease concentrated in the institutional sector, particularly in B.C. and Alberta. Commercial building permits was up 6.8 per cent, while industrial construction was largely unchanged. The total value of building permits was down in seven provinces in June, with Alberta and British Columbia posting the biggest drops. The value of building permits fell in 22 of the 34 census metropolitan areas in June, with Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton experiencing the largest declines.

Meanwhile, Statistics Canada said the value of building permits issued in June fell 2.5 per cent to $6.8 billion, largely due to a drop in Alberta and British Columbia. The drop follows a 7.1 per cent increase in the previous month. In corporate developments, CIBC (TSX:CM) signed a deal to buy the private wealth management business of MFS McLean Budden (TSX:SLF), which manages some $1.4 billion in assets for high net worth individuals families, endowments and foundations. CIBC shares rose 57 cents to $73.81. Brookfield Infrastructure (TSX:BIP.UN) formed a joint venture to acquire a 60 per cent interest in Brazilian toll road operator Obrascon Huarte Lain Brasil S.A. for $1.7 billion, including $600 million in assumed liabilities. Units gained $1.03 to $34.96. Base and precious metals producer Imperial Metals Corp. (TSX:III) says increased shipments drove net earnings up to almost $12 million or 16 cents per share in the second quarter, from $8 million or 11 cents in the same 2011 period. Revenue soared to $69 million from $39.4 million. Shares in the company were up 3.1 per cent, or 26 cents, to $8.66. In the media spectrum, TVA Group Inc. (TSX:TVA.B) nearly doubled its second-quarter profit. The broadcaster and publisher said net income attributable to common shareholders rose to $23.7 million or $1 per share, including $12.9 million or 54 cents per share from the sale of its 51 per cent stake in The Cave and 50

per cent stake in Mystery TV. Shares dropped five cents to $7.39. And three major Canadian media companies have launched a campaign to oppose BCE Inc.’s (TSX:BCE) planned purchase of Astral Media Inc. (TSX:ACM.A), saying the deal would give Bell too much control over the country’s broadcasting landscape.

Hey baby, they’re going to Vegas TIM MCGRAW AND FAITH HILL ANNOUNCE RUN OF SHOWS BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

File photo by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Composer Marvin Hamlisch, left, and Barbra Streisand are shown at the Cedars-Sinai Board of Governors Gala at The Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif. Hamlisch, a conductor and award-winning composer best known for the torch song The Way We Were, died on Monday in Los Angeles. He was 68.

‘True musical genius’ dies BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MARVIN HAMLISCH

NEW YORK — Marvin Hamlisch was blessed with perfect pitch and an infallible ear. “I heard sounds that other children didn’t hear,” he wrote in his autobiography. He turned that skill into writing and arranging compulsively memorable songs that the world was unable to stop humming — from the mournful The Way We Were to the jaunty theme from The Sting. Prolific and seeming without boundaries, Hamlisch, who died at 68 after a short illness, composed music for film heroes from James Bond and Woody Allen, for powerful singers such as Liza Minnelli and Aretha Franklin, and high-kicking dancers of the Tonywinning A Chorus Line. To borrow one of his song titles, nobody did it better. “He was a true musical genius, but above all that, he was a beautiful human being. “I will truly miss him,” said

Barbra Streisand, who first met the composer in 1963 and sang his The Way We Were to a Grammy win in 1974. “It was his brilliantly quick mind, his generosity, and delicious sense of humour that made him a delight to be around.” Hamlisch collapsed and died Monday in Los Angeles after a brief illness, his publicist Ken Sunshine said, citing the family. Other details were not released. The New York-born Hamlisch composed more than 40 film scores, including Sophie’s Choice, Ordinary People, The Way We Were and Take the Money and Run. His latest work came for Steven Soderbergh’s The Informant! Hamlisch became one of the most decorated artists in history, winning three Oscars, four Emmys, four Grammys, a Tony, a Pulitzer and three Golden Globes. The marquees of Broadway the-

atres in New York will be dimmed in his memory tonight at 8 p.m. He arranged many of Minnelli’s albums, including Judy Garland & Liza Minnelli Live at the London Palladium.” Minnelli on Tuesday called Hamlisch “one of the funniest people I knew. “I will miss his talent, our laughter and friendship, but mostly I will miss Marvin.” “I have lost my first lifelong best friend, and sadly we have lost a splendid, splendid talent.” Actress-singer Lucie Arnaz, the daughter of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz who performed with Hamlisch for years, said: “There is some kind of gorgeous music in the heavens tonight.” Hamlisch was perhaps best known for adapting composer Scott Joplin on The Sting. In the mid-’70s, it seemed everybody with a piano had the sheet music to The Entertainer, the movie’s theme song. To this day, it’s blasted by ice cream trucks.

LAS VEGAS — Country music power couple Tim McGraw and Faith Hill are heading to Las Vegas. They will be performing a 10-weekend run of shows at The Venetian starting Dec. 7. The couple announced the news Tuesday during a press conference at the hotel. Sitting on a white leather sofa in the 1800-seat theatre where the show will take place, McGraw welcomed everyone to their part-time Vegas home. Hill said they were thrilled about the opportunity to be creative in a way they’ve never experienced together before. “Being in this intimate environment, it will be ’us,”’ added McGraw. “I’m very excited.” The show is called Soul2Soul, named after their hugely successful co-headlining tours in 2000 and 2006. According to Pollstar, their 2006-2007 Soul2Soul II run remains the highest grossing North American tour in country music history. The Vegas shows will mark the first time in six years that McGraw and Hill have performed a full concert together in the United States. McGraw said they are in the process of building the show and promises that the production will be cutting edge. They may be superstars, but McGraw and Hill are also full-time parents of three daughters. Hill said the Venetian worked around their children’s school schedules to make this happen. McGraw said his daughters, two of whom are teenagers, are excited to see the shows in Vegas, joking that “they probably won’t see ours, though.” Pre-sale tickets go on sale today and open to the general public Monday. The couple have sold more than 70 million albums and charted more than 40 No. 1 hits between them. Online: http://www.venetian.com http://www.timmcgraw.com http://www.faithhill.com

Concert open to all who tackle poverty BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NASHVILLE — The Black Keys, Foo Fighters and Neil Young with Crazy Horse will headline one of this year’s hottest concerts, but don’t bother trying to buy tickets. Fans will have to earn entry to Global Festival 2012 on Sept. 29 in New York City’s Central Park by taking action against extreme poverty around the world through a website and app designed to get people moving before a big event, not after. “The scale of things that they’re trying do just felt really cool, and we’re trying to get the ball rolling,” said Patrick Carney, The Black Keys’ drummer. “Especially with everything that’s been going on for the last three years, I suppose, af-

GLOBAL FESTIVAL 2012 ter the stock market crashed. There’s attention on the amount of people living below the poverty line and the disparity between the rich and the poor and everything that’s going on now ... . It just felt like the right time to do something.” Organizer Hugh Evans of Global Poverty Project calls the concert a “crescendo” to an ambitious anti-poverty effort that coincides with the United Nations meeting in New York. Fans can attend through a special lottery of 54,000 tickets. They earn their way in with points awarded for charitable acts performed through the Global Citizen website, which launched Tuesday. Points can

be earned by simple acts like posting information on social media, donating money to charity or signing a petition, among other simple activities. Evans hopes the chance to see some of rock’s biggest acts will spur fans to take 100,000 actions by September. The overall goal is to raise $500 million in practical solutions by leveraging commitments from the world’s leaders while they’re in New York. Evans said a difference can be made for children trapped in extreme poverty with a polio vaccine that costs just 30 cents. A Tuesday news release announcing the project says there are an estimated 1.3 billion people living on the

equivalent of less than $1.50 a day. “I think what’s exciting is all the world leaders are going to be in town that week for the United Nations meeting,” Evans said in a phone interview. “And this concert and the associated campaign will give us the opportunity to ask these world leaders to make practical and tangible monetary commitments to the world’s poor and to the achievement of the UN’s Millenium Development Goals.” Produced by Goldenvoice/ AEG, the concert has partnered with a number of charities and is supported by Sumner M. Redstone, the Pratt Foundation and The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

The musical acts, which include Band of Horses and K’Naan, also have donated their time. The Keys have a charity they founded in their hometown of Akron, Ohio, to help the mentally handicapped. And Carney and guitarist Dan Auerbach donated a few dollars from each concert ticket on this year’s tour to a variety of charities as well. But the chance to affect change on such a large scale drew them to the Global Festival. “Dan and I try not to be too political about things,” Carney said. “... This is not a political thing. This is a humanitarian cause.” Online: http://globalfestival.com

ANTIQUE BREAKFAST

Heartbreaking to see son fight addiction; is tough love worse?

HOROSCOPE

law? — California D e a r California: MITCHELL While it & SUGAR used to be improper for relatives to host a shower (too self-serving), it is now OK to do so, especially if the bride lives far away. And if you can include some of the bride’s friends as hostesses to spread the responsibility around, that would help. Dear Annie: Your response to “Alone in Minnesota” was right on track: Her husband is a coward and an abuser. Marriage is about respecting each other, and by letting his mother keep her away all these years, he clearly does not respect his wife. When we married, my husband was 27 and I was 20. I knew my mother-in-law interfered in her daughters’ marriages and wondered what she would do to us. It took four months. She insisted that we purchase Christmas gifts for my husband’s nieces and nephews when we were struggling to pay bills. When I told my husband about this conversation, he immediately got into his car and drove to see Mom. I have no idea what he said to her, but she did not make any attempt to interfere in our marriage for 20 years. Then my in-laws wanted me to talk to my husband’s sister and convince her to divorce her husband. I refused and again told my husband. He had another “visit” with his parents, and they didn’t speak to him for six months. We now have spent 42 years together, and every day is more wonderful than the last. — Loved and Respected in Michigan Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Other times, the same message arrives with an abrasive delivery. You might fear a harsh assessment, but you don’t have to. A loving message will lead you to be greater than ever. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Every task has a beginning and end. The statement necessarily implies that you have to start, which is slow coming today. Try to find a ritual that gets you started.

Dear Annie: My wife and I have a 23-year-old son who is a heroin addict. “Rob” has been to rehab twice and has relapsed again. We have been attending Nar-Anon meetings for the past eight weeks and find them helpful. Rob seemingly has not hit rock bottom yet. By that, I mean he still has some income due to odd jobs and unemployment benefits. The latter are from a well-paying job that he lost for obvious reasons, and they won’t last much longer. He has a prescription for Suboxone that he gets from a doctor who periodically tests him for drugs. He also sees a psychologist once a month as a part of his treatment. Yet he is still using occasionally. From our Nar-Anon meetings, we are learning that others have it much worse. We also are learning that we are textbook enablers. My wife manages his finances and dispenses his Suboxone, and we allow Rob to live with us, making sure he is fed and clothed. Nar-Anon says to cut all ties until he gets clean. But we are afraid that he will go off the deep end, and we would lose him forever. This kind of tough love scares me. As bad as things are, we are afraid to put the hammer down and throw him out. We also have two younger children, and this isn’t doing them any good. What do you think? — Dad in Wisconsin Dear Dad: It is heartbreaking and terrifying to watch your child descend into drug addiction. There is a real risk to your son’s life, whether or not you enable him. Many parents have to reach the end of their rope before they are able to toss their child out and live with the consequences. You aren’t there yet. Please continue with Nar-Anon and encourage Rob to remain in therapy and to keep seeing his doctor, and if possible, get him into a halfway house so he is not under your roof.

No easy answers BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Days after the first blisters bloomed on his cheek, the burning rash had swollen the left side of Lorne Barsky’s face, forcing his eye shut and sending the 70-year-old into “a panic.” “When you’re in incredible pain and things are happening to you so fast ... I looked in the mirror and I didn’t know who that was,” Barsky said, recalling his battle with shingles last year. The disease stems from the same virus that causes chicken pox — herpes zoster — which lies dormant in the body and sometimes becomes active again. Anyone who has had chicken pox can develop shingles, but the condition typically erupts later in life or among those with a weakened immune system. The first sign of shingles is often an itching, tingling or burning feeling, followed by a rash of fluid-filled blisters. Although shingles can occur anywhere on the body, it often appears as a single band that wraps around either the left or the right side of the torso. Anxiety and embarrassment over the eye-catching lesions on his face prompted Barsky, a busy lawyer in Mississauga, Ont., west of Toronto, to call in sick for the first time in decades. “You can’t go out in the street the first couple of days,” he said. But that paled in comparison to the excruciating nerve pain brought on by the virus — and the risk of losing sight in his left eye due to inflammation caused by the infection. A dull, steady ache still lingers

more than a year after the sores faded. And though the appearance of his face is back to normal, Barsky said the discomfort makes him feel “disfigured.” “Luckily, I have not had any eye damage. But I have soreness that goes from below my eye to my cheek, around my eye socket into my forehead and along the side of my nose. That has lasted for 15 months,” he said. “My eye feels like I’ve got an eyelash in my eye, I constantly feel that.” Of the legions of Canadians who will get shingles in their lifetime — studies suggest that could be up to one in every three people in the population — a number will endure post-herpetic neuralgia, a type of pain that lasts for weeks, months or even years after the skin has healed. “Although generally it’s not a lifethreatening disease, it’s incredibly debilitating,” said Dr. Allison McGeer, an infectious disease specialist at Toronto’s Mount Sinai Hospital. “It’s the degree of pain that frequently means that people can’t work, sometimes means you can’t wear clothes because just any touch on top of it is so painful,” the microbiologist said. “And because it’s pain from the nerves, it’s very, very hard to treat — you can kind of dull it in a variety of ways, but it’s very hard for people to get relief from this continuous and very severe pain.” That distress is often compounded by a lack of sympathy from others once the visible signs of illness are gone, said Lynn Cooper, president of the Canadian Pain Coalition, a group devoted to improving the treatment of chronic

DEBILITATING PAIN CAN LAST YEARS AFTER SHINGLES RASH FADES

pain. “Most people wouldn’t be able to comprehend that someone who has had shingles and who got over it and you don’t see the marks anymore ... they wouldn’t be able to comprehend why that individual would now complain about pain,” she said. Over time, the stress of dealing with such severe discomfort, heightened by the inability to get a good night’s sleep, can lead to depression, Cooper said. Experts say there is only one surefire way to stave off long-term pain caused by shingles: avoiding the disease altogether. Anti-viral medication can help soothe the rash if administered within 72 hours of the first blister, but few people recognize the symptoms quickly enough to get a dose in time, said McGeer. And the treatment does little to prevent lasting pain, “which is what you really care about,” she said. Two vaccines help keep shingles at bay, though only one targets the disease directly. The chicken pox vaccine, routinely given to children in Canada, simultaneously protects against shingles by keeping the virus from taking root in the body. “If you don’t get the first infection with chicken pox, then you can’t get shingles,” McGeer said. The shingles vaccine, on the other hand, is aimed at adults who have already had chicken pox. It contains a “much higher dose” of the virus in order to jump-start the immune system and beef up its defences, she said. The vaccine is recommended for

But because the drug, which sells to doctors and pharmacists for $150 per dose, isn’t covered by provincial and territorial drug plans, consumers must pay for the shot from their own pockets. The product had been in short supply, but a spokeswoman for manufacturer Merck Canada said full shipments have now resumed. Barsky said “sheer ignorance” about the disease made him put off vaccination until it was too late. “I was uninformed as to ... how bad it could be,” he said. In a strange twist, there is growing speculation that widespread use of the chicken pox vaccine could make some adults more vulnerable to shingles in the future because they will be less exposed to the virus in children. “It’s then expected — it’s not proven — it’s then expected that instead of getting shingles when they are 70, 75, 80, they may get shingles when they’re 60, 65, 70,” McGeer said.

Post-partum depression major challenge Recently I participated in a workshop focused on supporting women struggling with post-partum depression. The workshop facilitator was American herbalist, Meryl Kastin Flocchini. Meryl works with several mid-wives in Idaho supporting women through pregnancy, labour and the months following the birth of their ABRAH child. ARNESON She spoke passionately HERBS FOR LIFE about recognizing and helping a mom in the throws of post-partum depression, having suffered with it herself. In the States, Meryl quoted the statistics on women struggling with post-partum depression as being anywhere between four to 25 per cent. She also claimed women who have a caesarean section are at greater risk of depression than women who deliver vaginally. Because of the wide ranging statistics Meryl quoted, I decided to do some of my own research. According to The Canadian Mental Health Association, 15 to 20 per cent of women in the general population will suffer with postpartum depression. Thirty per cent of women with a history of depression will experience post-partum depression. Fifty per cent of women who have struggled with post partum depression will be overcome by depression with subsequent births. If these statistics are correct, postpartum depression is a major challenge for many women, their babies and families in Canada. In Meryl’s experience, she found that it was difficult for people to understand the profound sadness and anxiety she felt following the birth of her child. Many people told her she should be happy with the blessing of her child. This did not help Meryl, she only felt guiltier. Guilt is one of the symptoms of post-partum depression. Some told her it was the baby blues and it would pass if she just pulled herself together. Four months into depression Meryl knew she was feeling more then baby blues.

Many women experience the baby blues shortly after giving birth. They feel sad or anxious, maybe irritable or exhausted. Many of these are symptoms also occur in post partum depression. The difference between the baby blues and depression is: the baby blues generally last no longer than a week. Post-partum depression last for months, for some women years. I also looked into the research on the relationship between caesareans sections and depression. The jury is out. Some research says there is a definite relationship while other studies find there is no such relationship. In terms of anecdotal evidence from mom’s who have had a caesarean and post-partum depression, the scales tip towards a relationship. There are three primary factors at play to trigger depression following a caesarean. 1. During vaginal labour and delivery mom’s brain releases mega doses of the love hormone oxytocin. This hormone supports mother/infant bonding moments after birth. One of the challenges women struggle with during post-partum depression is difficulty bonding with their new born. Cesearans reduce the amount of oxytocin available to the new mom’s brain. 2. Immediately following most caesarean deliveries the infant is taken to another room while the mom is stitched up and remains in recovery. This time, immediately after birth is called “The Golden Hour” when nursing is initiated. Tiny glands in the mom’s breast secret a hormone which smells just like the amniotic fluid the baby has been living in for the past nine months. It is the scent of this hormone which guides the new born to the breast. Once suckling, a further surge of oxytocin hits the mom’s brain making her feel good. 3. Recovery from a caesarean takes four to eight weeks, depending on how well mom stays off her feet with a new born and possibly other children at home. Trying to care for a new born when one is struggling to perform basic care for oneself is difficult indeed. Obviously, if there is a risk to the mother or child, depression or not, a caesarean section is the option to choose. From the herbal tradition there are many ways to prevent post-partum

Assad gets backing from Iran, vows to defeat rebels BEIRUT — Syrian President Bashar Assad made his first appearance on state TV in nearly three weeks Tuesday in a show of solidarity with a senior Iranian envoy even as the U.S. secretary of state urged stepped up international planning for the regime’s collapse. The contrasts couldn’t have been more vivid: Assad and Iran’s Saeed Jalili vowing to defeat the rebels and their backers, while Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton predicted Assad’s regime was quickly unraveling, with highlevel defections such as his prime minister’s switch to the rebel side. It also highlighted As-

sad’s deepening reliance on a shrinking list of allies, led by Tehran. Assad — seen on state TV for the first time since a July 18 bombing in Damascus killed four of his top security officials — used Jalili’s visit to portray a sense of command and vowed to fight his opponents “relentlessly.” Jalili, the secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, promised Iran would stand by Syria against its international “enemies” — a clear reference to the rebels’ Western backers and others such as Saudi Arabia and Qatar. While there were no public pledges of greater military assistance to Assad, the mission by Jalili appeared to reflect Iran’s efforts to reassure Syria of its backing and ease speculation that Tehran also could

Ken Edgett, Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI) principal investigator, Malin Space Science Systems, San Diego, describes the first color view of the north wall and rim of Gale Crater where NASA’s rover Curiosity landed Sunday night, during a news briefing at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., Tuesday. The picture displayed was taken by the rover’s camera at the end of its stowed robotic arm and appears fuzzy because of dust on the camera’s cover.

First colour pictures come back from Mars NASA ROVER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PASADENA, Calif. — NASA’s Curiosity rover has transmitted its first colour photo and a low-resolution video showing the last 2 ½ minutes of its dramatic dive through the Martian atmosphere, giving a sneak peek of a spacecraft landing on another world. As thumbnails of the video flashed on a big screen on Monday, scientists and engineers at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory let out “oohs” and “aahs.” The recording began with the protective heat shield falling away and ended with dust being kicked up as the rover was lowered by cables inside an ancient crater. It was a sneak preview, since it’ll take some time before full-resolution frames are beamed back. The full video “will just be exquisite,” said Michael Malin, the chief scientist of the instrument. The first colour photo from the crater where Curiosity landed showed a pebbly landscape and the rim of Gale Crater off in the distance. Curiosity snapped the photo on its first day on the surface after touching down Sunday night. The rover took the shot with a camera at the end of its robotic arm. The landscape looked fuzzy because the camera’s removable cover was coated with dust that kicked up during the descent. NASA celebrated the precision landing of a rover on Mars and marveled over the mission’s flurry of photographs — grainy, black-and-white images of Martian gravel, a mountain at sunset and, most exciting of all, the spacecraft’s plunge through the red planet’s atmosphere. Curiosity is the heaviest piece of machinery NASA has landed on Mars, and the success gave the space agency confidence that it can unload equipment that astronauts may need in a future manned trip to the red planet. The roving laboratory, the size of a compact car, landed right on target after an eight-month, 352-million-mile (566-million-kilometre) journey. It parked its six wheels about four miles (6 kilometres) from its ultimate science destination — Mount Sharp, rising from the floor of Gale Crater near the equator. Extraordinary efforts were needed for the landing because the rover weighs one ton, and the thin Martian atmosphere offers little friction to slow down a spacecraft. Curiosity had to go from 13,000 mph (21,000 kph) to zero in seven minutes, unfurling a parachute, then firing rockets to brake. In a Hollywood-style finish, cables delicately lowered it to the ground at 2 mph (3 kph). At the end of what NASA called “seven minutes of terror,” the vehicle settled into place almost perfectly flat in the crater it was aiming for. “We have ended one phase of the mission much to our enjoyment,” mission manager Mike Watkins said. “But another part has just begun.” The nuclear-powered Curiosity will dig into the Martian surface to analyze what’s there and hunt for some of the molecular building blocks of life, including carbon.

be making contingencies for Assad’s possible fall. On a visit to South Africa, Clinton described Assad’s regime as splintering from Monday’s defection of Syria’s prime minister, Riad Hijab, and other military and political figures breaking away in recent months. She urged international leaders to begin work on a “good transition plan” to try to keep Syria from collapsing into more chaos after Assad. “I am not going to put a timeline on it. I can’t possibly predict it, but I know it’s going to happen as do most observers around the world,” Clinton told reporters. A post-Assad Syria presents a host of worrisome scenarios, including a bloody cycle of revenge and power grabs by the country’s patchwork of

factions. They include the Sunniled rebels and Assad’s minority Alawite community, an offshoot of Shiite Islam and part of its close bonds with Shiite power Iran. A growing humanitarian crisis is already taking hold. More than 1,300 Syrians fled to Turkey on Tuesday as rebels tried to expand their hold inside Aleppo, Syria’s largest city, despite two weeks of withering counterattacks by Assad’s troops. Close to 48,000 Syrians have already taken refuge in Turkey, which has served as a staging ground for rebels. Even more refugees have crossed into Jordan and Lebanon. And at least 22,300 Iraqis who fled to Syria several years ago have streamed home in

the past three weeks, said U.N. officials in Baghdad as they prepared for more refugees. In Geneva, meanwhile, the World Health Organization said the fighting has severely hit Syria’s health services, including closing down 90 per cent of pharmaceutical plants in Damascus and other main cities and leaving critical shortages of medicine. WHO spokesman Tarik Jasarevic cited a Syrian Health Ministry report that 200 ambulances were lost in recent weeks to theft or clashes. Aleppo-based activists said clashes were going on Tuesday near the historic city centre. That suggested the rebels were making some inroads in Aleppo, which lies some 25 miles (40 kilometres) from the Turkish border.

FEDS DONATE $10 MILLION, VOWS TO MATCH PUBLIC DONATIONS BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

Arizona shooting suspect pleads guilty THE ASSOCIATED PRESS TUCSON, Ariz. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The suspect in a shooting that left a U.S. congresswoman wounded pleaded guilty Tuesday to going on the rampage that killed six other people. The plea spares Jared Lee Loughner the death penalty in an attack that gained worldwide attention. The plea came soon after a federal judge had found that months of forcibly medicating Loughner to treat his schizophrenia had made the 23-year-old college dropout competent to understand the gravity of the charges against him and assist in his defence. At one point, Judge Larry A. Burns asked Loughner if he understood the charges against him and what the government would need to convict him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes, I understand,â&#x20AC;? Loughner replied. The judge said that Loughner was a different person and that he is able to help his lawyers in his defence. Burns said that observing Loughner in the court left â&#x20AC;&#x153;no question that he understands whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening today.â&#x20AC;? Loughner faces life in prison without the possibility of parole. Gabrielle Giffords, the congresswoman who was the intended target, continues to recover from the January 2011 shooting. She has left her Congress post. Among the dead were Arizonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief federal judge and a Giffordsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; aide. Twelve other people aside from Giffords were wounded. The outcome was welcomed by some victims, including Giffords, as a way to avoid a lengthy, possibly traumatic trial and years of legal wrangling over a death sentence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The pain and loss caused by the events of Jan. 8, 2011, are incalculable,â&#x20AC;? Giffords said in a joint statement with her husband, Mark Kelly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Avoiding a trial will allow us â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and we hope the whole Southern Arizona community â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to continue with our recovery.â&#x20AC;? Experts had concluded that Loughner suffers from schizophrenia, and officials at a federal prison have forcibly medicated him with psychotropic drugs for more than a year. Court-appointed pyschologist Christina Pietz testified for an hour about how she believes Loughner became competent. Loughner listened calmly without expression. His arms were crossed over his stomach, lurched slightly forward and looking straight at Pietz.

TORONTO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The federal government is calling on Canadians to join in offering financial aid to a group of West African countries struggling with famine, violence and political upheaval. Ottawa has established a relief fund for the troubled Sahel region, International Co-Operation Minister Julian Fantino announced on Tuesday, adding Canadians themselves will dictate how much money comes out of the federal coffers. The government will match Canadiansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; donations to registered charities supporting the Sahel region between Aug. 7 and Sept. 30, Fantino said. Ottawa has already made an initial $10 million contribution to the matching fund. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now, millions of women, men and children in the Sahel are suffering from hunger and severe malnutrition,â&#x20AC;? Fantino said in a statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is absolutely unacceptable. With generosity from Canadians, we can do more to respond to this crisis and support people in dire need.â&#x20AC;?

The nine countries in the Sahel region have been contending with increasingly desperate conditions as political tensions escalate in Mali. A coup in the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s north has plunged the area into chaos as Islamist and other rebels fight for control of the territory. The United Nations said last week that the political unrest has sent residents fleeing from the rule of rebel factions, some of whom have begun imposing harsh Islamic laws in the territories they hold. UN High Commissioner for Refugees Antonio Guterres said 260,000 Malian refugees have fled for neighbouring Mauritania, Niger and Burkina Faso, which have kept their borders open and shared their food supplies despite the dire hunger crisis they face within their own nations. Some 200,000 people also have been displaced within Mali, facing dire conditions. Along with those four countries, Ottawa has identified Chad, Senegal, Gambia and northern Cameroon as being most severely impacted by the escalating crisis. The UN humanitarian office has

previously said 18 million people already face severe hunger and malnutrition in the Sahel region. One of the leading charities involved in providing relief to the troubled region applauded the federal governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest aid initiative. Dave Toycen, chief executive of World Vision Canada, said the matching fund is a key first step to helping families coping with starvation and displacement. Canadians themselves have proven their willingness to offer relief to those in need, he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In times of crisis, Canadians have shown that they are among the most generous people in the world, despite difficult economic circumstances here at home,â&#x20AC;? Toycen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am confident they will once again rise to the challenge and show the world that Canada will always be a nation of caring, generous and compassionate people.â&#x20AC;? In 2010, a similar initiative in Ottawa saw the federal government shell out $220 million to equal the donations that poured in from Canadians to provide relief to Haiti in the aftermath of a deadly earthquake.

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CANCUN, Mexico â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Hundreds of tourists evacuated beach resorts along Mexicoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Caribbean coast as Hurricane Ernesto headed toward a Tuesday night landfall near Mexicoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s border with Belize, bringing the threat of powerful winds and torrential rains. Ernesto strengthened from a tropical storm earlier in the day, and the U.S. National Hurricane Center said it had winds of 80 mph (129 kph) by afternoon and was moving west-northwest at 14 mph (22 kph). It was centred about 185 miles (298 kilometres) east of Chetumal, Mexico. Authorities in the Mexican state of Quintana Roo were moving more than 1,300 tourists from resorts in Mahuahal and other spots to Chetumal, a bayside city that was expected to see less rain and wind than the coast. Two cruises ships scheduled to dock on the Riviera Maya put off their arrivals. In the city of Tulum, some 6,000 tourists were sheltering in hotels that authorities said were strong enough to qualify as storm shelters. Soldiers and police were moving 600 residents from the fishing village of Punta Allen in Quintana Roo, where authorities opened emergency shelters and began preparing for the evacuation of residents from other low-lying coastal settlements. The heart of the storm was expected to hit south of the resort areas of Cancun and the Riviera Maya, though strong rain and winds were likely.
