Christine Girard of Canada capped a stellar day for Canada in the women’s 63-kg, group A, weightlifting competition at the 2012 Summer Olympics, Tuesday, just hours after Roseline Filion and Meaghan Benefeito nailed a bronze in the women’s synchronized 10-metre platform finals, and Antoine ValoisFortier defeated United State’s Travis Stevens in a bronze medal match during the men’s 81-kg judo competition.

Medal haul in a drama-filled day BY THE CANADIAN PRESS LONDON — Three bronze medals, a marathon, record-setting tennis match and a thrilling soccer comeback. Tuesday was a day of drama for Canada at the London Olympics. Divers Roseline Filion and Meaghan Benfeito kicked off the bronze bonanza in the 10-metre synchronized event. About 30 minutes later, Antoine Valois-Fortier won a surprise bronze in men’s judo. Within the hour, weightlifter Christine Girard was also climbing the podium. The three medals boosted Cana-

da’s total to four — four more than the country had at this point in the 2008 Olympics. Canada sits 13th in the overall medal standings just behind Britain, which has two silver and two bronze. Canadian officials said prior to the Games that they were hoping for a top12 finish. The medals came two days after divers Emilie Heymans and Jennifer Abel gave Canada its first of the Games with a third-place finish in the women’s three-metre synchro. “Our four medals have come in three different sports,” chef de mission Mark Tewksbury said. “The broader

we can go, the more exciting it gets.” Filion, from Laval, Que., and Benfeito, from Montreal, finished with a combined score of 337.62. “We had to dive our hearts out. We were ready,” said Filion, of Laval, Que. “We said there was nothing more we could have done.” China continued to dominate the diving competition with another gold, while Mexico took silver. “They can make mistakes,” said Benfeito, who hails from Montreal, of the Chinese. “We try to say we can win the gold. But they’re amazing divers.” Valois-Fortier, a 22-year-old from Quebec City, defeated American Travis

Stevens 1-0 in the bronze-medal bout. “It feels amazing,” he said. “I’ve sacrificed so much and all of the fights today were very hard. It was tough mentally but the whole team supported me and I managed to pull myself together. I wanted it really bad, it’s what I work for every day.” It’s Canada’s first judo medal since Nicholas Gill won silver in 2000. Girard, who grew up in Rouyn-Noranda, Que., and lives in White Rock, B.C., become the first Canadian woman to ever win an Olympic medal in weightlifting.

Organized crime widens in city: RCMP AS MANY AS NINE DIFFERENT GROUPS CO-OPERATE OR COMPETE FOR ILLICIT TRADE IN RED DEER BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF Red Deer has as many as nine organized crime groups, according to RCMP. Some battle each other locally. Some work together, like the members of two chapters of nationally identified criminal groups who police arrested about a week ago. A massive criminal investigation over many months into organized crime and drug distribution in the city has resulted in 16 people facing 24 drugrelated charges. “We know that there is no specific gang that

claims Red Deer as their turf. That’s why we see more than one organized crime group in the community,” Red Deer City RCMP Supt. Warren Dosko said at a press conference on Tuesday to discuss the investigation. “They see it as an opportunity to expand their business and move into our community.” He said the two crime groups affected by the investigation, which police will not name, were new to Red Deer. He alleged that they were sent here by their organizations. “Organized crime in Red Deer has been growing. We know that Red Deer’s location plays a key role, being centrally located between Calgary and Edmonton.”

Ottawa taps UBC president to seek deal with disabled vets over benefits OTTAWA — The federal government has appointed the president of the University of British Colum-

bia to help resolve a dispute with Canadian Forces veterans over long-term disability benefits. Stephen Toope, a former dean of law at McGill University, will serve as the federal representative in talks to resolve a class-action lawsuit that aims to stop federal benefit clawbacks. “The well-being of both our serving and retired members is important for our government,” Defence Minister Peter MacKay said in a statement. “This appointment further underlines our intent to work towards a positive resolution in this matter.” A Federal Court ruling in May found Ottawa was acting illegally by clawing back long-term disability benefits from veterans who were also receiving pain

and suffering payments and other awards. The clawbacks ended in July, and the “vast majority” of those affected have seen the results reflected in their benefit cheques, MacKay said during a news conference last week in New Brunswick.

Maple Group wins control of TMX Group with 91% of shares tendered TORONTO — Maple Group Acquisition Corp. has won control of TMX Group Inc. (TSX:X), with 91 per cent of shares tendered to its takeover offer worth about $3.8 billion. A new Maple board of directors has already been appointed. Chuck Winograd will serve as the chair of both the Maple and TMX Group boards, while TMX CEO Tom Kloet will take on the role at both Maple and TMX. The offer to acquire a minimum of 70 per cent of TMX shares of TMX Group for $50 in cash per share closed at 5 p.m. today. But the deadline for tender has been extended until Aug 10. for any shareholders who were holding out and want to receive cash for their shares. Shareholders still have to formally vote to accept the deal at a meeting slated for September.

BRONZE: ‘Hard to describe how I feel’ “It is very hard to describe how I feel,” said Girard, who finished third behind a Kazak and a Russian with a total weight of 236 kilograms. “Four years ago in Beijing I came fourth and since then I have spent the past four years training through injuries and various changes in my life to get to this moment.” Tennis star Milos Raonic’s Games came to a heartbreaking end after losing a marathon match 6-3, 3-6, 25-23 to fifth-ranked Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. The hard-serving 21-year-old from Thornhill, Ont., saw his serve broken while trailing 24-23 in the third set. “I felt like I played really well for most of the match and I just let it slip away from me at the end,” Raonic said. The official match time was three hours 57 minutes. The third set alone lasted an even three hours. The 66 games played were the most ever in a threeset Olympic match and the 48-game third set also set a record. It wasn’t clear whether any time records were broken since match lengths weren’t recorded in early Olympic competition. Aleksandra Wozniak didn’t last nearly as long against Venus Williams as the Blainville, Que., native lost out 6-1, 6-1 to the American superstar. “We had some really fast, powerful exchanges but she was on top of her game,” Wozniak said. “I think grass really suits her.” In men’s doubles, Toronto’s Daniel Nestor and Vancouver’s Vasek Pospisil fell in second-round action to the third-seeded Serbian duo of Janko Tip-

sarevic and Nenad Zimonjic 6-4, 5-7, 11-9. On the soccer pitch, Melissa Tancredi scored her third and fourth goals of the tournament as the seventh-ranked Canadians rebounded from a 2-0 deficit to tie Sweden 2-2 and book their spot in the quarterfinals. The game was played in Newcastle, the hometown of Canadian coach John Herdman. “We had a script written for this game, and what I tried to do was tie it in that for me this game was personal,” he said. Canada will play Britain in the quarter-finals. On the water, three sets of Canadian rowers were in action Tuesday morning, but only one made the semifinals. Victoria’s Lindsay Jennerich and Patricia Obee rebounded from a poor heat to finish second in their lightweight women’s double sculls repechage and advance to Thursday’s semis. Jennerich and Obee (seven minutes 15.37 seconds) were second to the U.S. (7:13.82) in their repechage. Cuba also moved on with a third-place finish. “Obviously we wanted to go out and win the rep, but what we have to take home with us is recognizing that as we are moving through the regatta we are improving immensely,” said Jennerich. “We just have to take that and gain confidence in that so that we can put it to use in the semi, which is going to be an extremely tough race.” The two men’s crews competing Tuesday will have to watch from the sidelines. Douglas Vandor of Dewittville, Que., and Morgan Jarvis of Clearwater Bay, Ont., faded after a fast start in the lightweight men’s double sculls. They finished fourth, with Greece and Hungary placing one-two to advance to the semifinals. Michael Braithwaite of Duncan, B.C., and Kevin Kowalyk of Winnipeg finished sixth in their men’s doubles scull semifinal and failed to advance to the final. In the pool, Brent Hayden of Mission, B.C., qualified for the final of the men’s 100-metre freestyle.

OTTAWA — Embattled former cabinet minister Bev Oda offered no explanation Tuesday for her decision to resign from the Harper government as she said her final farewells to political Ottawa. Oda announced in a press release July 3 that she would step down, effective at the end of the month, but didn’t reveal at the time what sparked the decision. During her tenure as international co-operation minister, when she was responsible for the Canadian International Development Agency, or CIDA, Oda made headlines for lavish spending while travelling on government business. She was forced to repay taxpayers for $1,000 per day in limousine expenses, a pricey stay at London’s Savoy Hotel in 2011 and for a $16 glass of orange juice. In an interview Tuesday with CBC’s Power and Politics, Oda said she had no regrets about ordering the juice, although she acknowledged that she should not have billed taxpayers for it. “I arrived in London, it was very late, I was working on a speech I was to give the next morning,” she said. “But you know, that cost of the orange juice was not maybe the appropriate expense for the government to pay. I have repaid that cost and I have apologized for it.” In women’s gymnastics, Canada finished fifth as the U.S. captured its first gold in the event since 1996.

CRIME: People in Red Deer are safe However, people in Red Deer are safe, he said. “It’s not like crime is out of control in our community. We’ve had these isolated instances where organized crime was involved,” Dosko said. Those facing charges in the drug investigation include 10 people from Central Alberta and others from Calgary, Winnipeg, and Abbotsford, B.C. Charges were mostly for drug trafficking. Warrants are still outstanding for four of the people charged. Court appearances in Red Deer provincial court for the others have already begun. The investigation was conducted by the Red Deer City RCMP Street Team, Organized Crime Section, Crime Reduction Unit, Edmonton ALERT’s Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit. Canada Border Services and Revenue Canada are assisting with the investigation. Red Deer City RCMP Sgt. Geoff Greenwood said multiple ounces of cocaine and heroin were seized during the investigation. “Heroin is really not that prevalent here. It’s more the designer drugs like MDMA (methylenedioxymethamphetamine), cocaine, crack,” said Greenwood, who was part of the investigation. He alleged those charged were not low-end street dealers, but rather “middle management” in the crime organizations. They were arrested without incident and were not carrying firearms. “They won’t walk around carrying a firearm. They’ll only go get a firearm if they need it.” szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com

All the risk, little of the reward B.C. TO GET LEAST PIPELINE TAX REVENUE COMPARED TO ONTARIO AND ALBERTA: REPORT BY THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER — Based on straight math, British Columbians shouldn’t be surprised to learn they will draw far fewer economic benefits than Alberta — or even Ontario — from the Northern Gateway pipeline, says a new report. B.C. Premier Christy Clark has argued her province has taken on 100 per cent of the marine risk while receiving not much more of the economic benefit than provinces that have no risk at all. But a research report released Tuesday by the Canadian Energy Research Institute concludes B.C.’s whatif concerns aside, Ontario stands to gain much more because of its position as Canada’s manufacturing heartland. The report examined only the forecasted value of ongoing upstream oil sands development. “Ontario services the oil sands projects with steel and materials and equipment more so than British Columbia does,” said Dinara Millington,

NORTHERN GATEWAY senior research director with the institute. “The outputs of one sector ... would become inputs in the oil sands industry sector.” The new report calculates the value of several key economic indicators around current and future oil production if Enbridge’s (TSX:ENB) Northern Gateway and two other major pipeline projects go ahead as proposed. Including the expansions by Kinder Morgan and Keystone XL, the report predicts Alberta alone will collect half a trillion dollars in taxes over 25 years but B.C. will only reap $9 billion. Ontario would garner $28 billion. B.C. gains its taxation revenue from oil development mainly due to geography — its proximity to Alberta — and via a gas plant that exports gas to northern Alberta for oil sands projects’ use, Millington said. Spotlighting only the Northern Gateway project, researchers concluded

B.C. will make $1 billion in tax revenues, as opposed to Alberta at $73 billion and Ontario at $4 billion. Over the same period, the report found the project will boost B.C.’s gross domestic product by 5.1 per cent, as opposed to 352.3 per cent for Alberta and 11.4 per cent for Ontario. The project equates to 76,000 person-years of employment for British Columbians, in contrast with 1,853,000 for Alberta and 155,00 for Ontario. The institute is a Calgary-based organization jointly funded by Ottawa, Alberta and the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers, an industry lobby group. It utilized a well-known economic model, along with Statistics Canada data and its own forecasts to make the predictions. The organization plans to release a second report Aug. 9 that specifically looks at the economic benefits related to construction of the Northern

Gateway pipeline. Millington said she expects the analysis to show most of those benefits accrue to B.C. The new analysis builds on other research recently submitted by B.C. Data from Wright Mansell, which looks at both oil sands production and pipeline construction, contends the province would gain about eight per cent in projected provincial tax revenues over 30 years, while Alberta would get about 40 per cent. Despite the economic sense in the numbers, Prof. Douglas Macdonald, with the University of Toronto’s environment school, said B.C.’s is “completely understandable.” His current research, in conjunction with Carleton University, is aimed at devising a national energy strategy that puts a cost on environmental risk and the effects of carbon emissions. His research aims at creating a formula for sharing the costs and benefits of such projects.

Ronald Smith lawsuit against death penalty proceeds

FATAL FIRE AT SENIORS COMPLEX

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

Emergency crews work at the scene of a fatal fire at a seniors complex in Edmonton Alberta on Tuesday. One person died in the fire. Four to six other residents of the Canora Gardens complex in the city’s west end were also taken to hospital after the fire broke out Tuesday afternoon. Fire department spokesman Tim Wilson said about 70 firefighters responded to the three-alarm blaze and performed multiple rescues.

CALGARY — A legal challenge of how Montana carries out its death penalty is to go before a judge Wednesday for a death-row Canadian waiting to hear whether he will be granted clemency. The American Civil Liberties Union filed a civil lawsuit on Ron Smith’s behalf in 2008 that argues the lethal injections the state uses to execute people are cruel and unusual punishment and violate the right to human dignity. A trial is scheduled for Sept. 4, but both sides are asking Judge Jeffrey Sherlock in Helena, Mont., to simply look at the evidence and make a decision immediately. “We’re going to ask the judge to say yes or no as a matter of law and therefore there’s no need to put evidence on,” Ron Waterman, a lawyer for the civil liberties union, said Tuesday in an interview with The Canadian Press. “What we’ve got from the discoveries that we’ve engaged in so far demonstrates that the protocol is just so deficient that it’s unconstitutional and the court can declare it unconstitutional as a matter of law,” he added. “I think the case is capable of being decided Wednesday in our favour and quite frankly that’s what I expect.” Waterman said the judge could rule that lethal injections are unconstitutional or that they are fine the way they are. He could also decide to go ahead and sit through a full trial with evidence. Whatever his ruling, Sherlock is likely to take his time to write a “fairly succinct” decision which Waterman doesn’t expect until later this summer. Smith, originally from Red Deer,

pleaded guilty in 1983 to shooting cousins Thomas Running Rabbit and Harvey Mad Man Jr. in the head with a sawed-off, 22-calibre rifle while he was high on drugs and alcohol. Their bodies were dumped in the woods near East Glacier, Mont. He refused a plea deal and asked for a death sentence but later changed his mind. Three decades later, and after several execution dates were set and countless legal arguments made, his request for clemency was rejected this spring by the Montana Board of Pardons and Parole. His chance to live out his days in a tiny cell at Montana State Prison is now in the hands of Gov. Brian Schweitzer. “It might provide the governor an additional reason to say at least there’s been litigation raised that questions the protocol and this litigation is going to extend out for years and years and it’s time to put this to bed,” said Waterman. The lawsuit initially stalled while Montana attempted to upgrade the trailer where state executions take place. The Montana Department of Corrections revised its lethal injection protocol last August. But the civil liberties union says it remains insufficient in terms of training, qualifications and procedures, and fails to ensure prisoner executions are free from cruel and unusual punishment. “The state’s new protocol touches on many things, including how the prisoner is to be transported, where the witnesses will sit and how the prisoner will get his or her last meal, but it never once even mentions that the inmate has a right to not suffer cruelly during the execution,” said Waterman.

Dementia care centre in south to old to save: province EDMONTON — Health officials say while the closure of a dementia care centre in a southern Alberta community is regrettable, but the building is simply too old and underused. Dave Shorten of Alberta Health Services said Tuesday that for years staff and maintenance crews have been fixing problems as best they could at the Little Bow Continuing Care Centre in the village of Carmangay, north of Lethbridge. But time has caught up to the 54-year-old structure, he said. Shorten said the roof needs to be replaced. Some of the bathrooms aren’t wheelchair accessible. Some of the patients are sharing four to a bathroom. The plumbing is old cast iron. The elevator needs overhauling. The fire alarms and emergency buzzers to summon nurses are no longer supported by the manufacturer. Replacement parts are hard to find. There’s asbestos in the walls and work is needed to improve the air- handling system. “The building does need major upgrades” said Shorten, acting vicepresident of rural and community issues for the Calgary region. The closure, announced earlier this month, has raised larger issues of urban versus rural and the best way to

deliver care to seniors. The centre is the major employer in the village, 65 kilometres north of Lethbridge. Area residents and families of the patients have held two rallies to protest the closure and to voice concerns that they were not consulted. Opposition politicians from the Wildrose, the NDP and the Liberals have rallied to the cause. They suggest Lit-

Divided houses can still stand The picture we get from the national discussion on the Northern Gateway pipeline is one of houses divided. The stakeholders obviously disagree on whether the bitumen pipeline from the oilsands to the West Coast should be built, much less on how, who should pay the costs and how the revenues from it should be shared. At the federal level, Prime Minister Stephen Harper may have his majority, and he certainly knows how to use it. But the cost in support among voters opposed to the pipeline must weigh in his calculations. People have suggested this project is a kind of nation building, similar to the building of the national railway. Not quite. Back then, everyone wanted the railway, and nobody cared about environmental consequences, or if natives were excluded from the discussion. Not this time. Right now, there is no unity among native leaders. Some groups actually support Northern Gateway and look toward partnership in at least part of it. Others, like Stewart Phillips, Grand Chief of the Union of B.C. In-

OURVIEW GREG NEIMAN dian Chiefs, say: “No way, absolutely no way, will we allow or tolerate” the project. There is certainly no unity among premiers, as recent headlines well attest. Provincial leaders know their voters, and provinces that are divided means a divided federal electorate, too. The oilsands developers and pipeline builder Enbridge have by no means played all their cards. Everyone has a Plan B or C in something as big as this. If they don’t, and they simply expect that “whatever industry wants, industry gets,” then we’re talking about something more arrogant than the “cowboy culture” that former environment minister David Anderson cited Monday, describing why Enbridge should be the last company on earth allowed to build a project of this kind. Some powerful politicians — including the prime minister and Alberta

Premier Alison Redford — seem to work under the industry assumption Northern Gateway must proceed come hell or high water. Redford’s flat rejection of major changes to revenue sharing from operation of the line and the sale of the oil increases chances that we might get both. Right now, there doesn’t seem to be enough consensus to even have the discussion about how everyone can achieve their goals in a project that will have such huge long-term impacts on the whole Canadian economy. So how does Canada move forward from this? First, all parties need to acknowledge that the other parties have a legitimate stake in being in the discussion. Redford already allows that B.C. concerns on the environment are legitimate. The feds must recognize that B.C.’s five preconditions (including revenue sharing, reduced provincial liability in paying the costs of any spill, and development of world-leading response plans for both land-based and marine spills) need to be addressed. Everyone — including industry —

needs to make sure that when pipelines cross treaty land, that the natives on that land have the right to discuss terms. That includes all environmental concerns and full opportunity for economic participation. And Canadians need to be convinced why Northern Gateway is so necessary that it’s worth talking about it in constitutional terms. What’s the downside of going slower on adding more capacity to mine the oilsands? Why does so much of the total production need to be exported raw? No, this isn’t the grand vision of building the railway, at all. This is about making certain groups extremely rich. That’s fine, as long as we can all agree on how the riches will be shared, who pays the costs, and who pays the downsides. Nobody should be told they’re giving up sovereign or territorial rights. The houses are divided, and we need to get them together, or nobody will come out ahead. Greg Neiman is an Advocate editor.

LETTERS Bike lanes on hill don’t add much to safety on Spruce Drive In response to the Red Deer Advocate July 26, article on bike lanes, the following are my concerns and comments on the north and south bike and vehicle commutes using Spruce Drive. My first concern addresses vehicle traffic travelling north from 32nd Street onto Spruce Drive and cycle traffic meeting the designated bike lanes now provided down the hill. The distance from 32nd Street to 37th Street is a short portion of Spruce Drive that experiences a heavy flow of vehicle traffic, which for five short blocks is two lanes each way. At 37th Street Spruce Drive funnels traffic into one lane down the hill. Cyclists coming off 37th Street to connect with the bike lane, north, have to watch and listen for vehicles behind them on 37th street, and vehicles that have merged from two lanes into one on Spruce Drive. There are many vehicles which travel well over the posted speed limit. Vehicles and cyclists coming from the east on 37th Street do have a stop sign at Spruce Drive but I have witnessed both cyclists and vehicle drivers ignore the sign in order to blend into the northbound Spruce Drive traffic. Cyclists and drivers who do not come to a complete stop, combined with vehicles merging into one lane from two, creates an unsafe environment. Safety concerns for the southbound cyclist pedalling up the Spruce Drive hill to 37th street are: not being seen by drivers because there are two curves, first left then right, the latter being partially blind as vehicles crest the hill. The blind curve blocks the sight line to see the cyclist waiting at the “bike box” on the west service road of Spruce Drive at 37th. An additional danger poses itself at the top of the hill, where the south lane splits into two lanes. Again, I have witnessed several vehicles directly behind me, effectively in the left lane, dart quickly into the now available right lane. This poses a dangerous situation when a cyclist is required to cross the intersection. I drive my vehicle north on Spruce Drive and return south to home, I travel the residential speed limit and am frustrated with drivers who disrespect the posted speed limit and use Spruce Drive as a goasfastasyacan strip of pavement.

Everyone needs to follow path rules I read the one-sided attitude concerning safety on our bike paths in the July 30 paper. While it is unacceptable that people be hit by bikes on our paths it is also everyone’s responsibility to look out for their own safety and not blame others when they are not following the rules of the road. Safety is everyone’s responsibility, not just some of us. Some walkers seem to think the bike paths are for their own private use without any consideration for others. Some walk three and four abreast, taking up

the whole path, and do not respond when bikers ring their bell. Then they look at you as if you are infringing on their personal space. When they do respond, some go left and some go right, confusing the biker. Others walk their dogs on long leashes on one side of the path and the dogs are on the other, causing a safety problem for both the dog and the bikers. This problem is even worse when they are walking two or three dogs. Some bikers travel at the maximum posted speed to keep their heart rates up in their target zone for exercise purposes, which is perfectly legal. However, this means they can come up on walkers very quickly. To ensure the paths are safe for all us, please walk on only half of the trail and follow the rules of the road. Do not take the whole road. Stay on the right side, keep your dogs on the same side you are on and leave the other side for other traffic, the same as you would do on the highways in your cars. Some parts of the bike paths have yellow lines indicating that you stay on half the path; walkers also ignore these. If walkers follow these simple rules there will never be a problem with bikes. If we all use our heads and show consideration to our fellow man, the bike paths will be a great and safe experience for all. Jess Olson Red Deer

What about a regional debate? I see the Red Deer treatment plant water fluoridation question is back in the news again. I understand from your article of Wednesday, July 25 (Council plans fluoride debate) that they are considering holding a debate that will finally decide whether our water will continue to be fluoridated. By our water, I am referring to my town, Ponoka, and others on the regional water line: the City of Lacombe, Town of Hobbema and Blackfalds. Have our civic politicians been requested to make a presentation at your debate — are we considered at all — or is Red Deer city council making the decision for all of us? If a plebiscite is held, will our populations be part of it? Makes for an interesting conclusion. Personally, I have drank fluoride-treated water since my home town in the Ottawa Valley started treating it in the 1950s! I was even old enough to remember there was no debate, just education for the citizens. Been on it pretty much since then and am still with you.

Final countdown on to end of Canadian Wheat Board marketing monopoly SASKATOON — Federal Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz is literally counting down to the end of the Canadian Wheat Board’s monopoly on western wheat and barley sales. At a news conference in Saskatoon, Ritz stood in front of a screen that displayed a clock ticking down to midnight. That’s when a law passed late last year will kick in and western farmers can sell their grain to whomever they choose. Ritz says it’s the same freedom that wheat farmers have in Ontario. Wheat and barley farmers in Western Canada have had to sell their grain through the board since the 1940s. The agriculture minister notes that farmers can still market their grain through the board, but now it will be a voluntary decision.

Ottawa earmarks $1.9M for groups helping homeless veterans VANCOUVER — The federal government is earmarking $1.9 million in funding for community groups helping homeless veterans. Human Resources Minister Diane Finley was in Calgary to announce the funds, along with $1.8 million in in-kind contributions from Veterans Affairs Canada, to existing shelters to offer housing and support for homeless vets. The housing project will roll out in Calgary, Toronto, London, and Victoria. Statistics are not available, but advocates suggest there are thousands of former soldiers living on the streets across Canada and that number will grow following Canada’s decade-long war in Afghanistan. The office of the veterans ombudsman began sounding the alarm over homelessness within the ranks of Canada’s former soldiers in 2008.

OTTAWA — The federal Liberals are calling on the Conservative government to reverse cuts to refugee health care. The party’s citizenship and immigration critic, Kevin Lamoureux, said Tuesday he’ll put forward a motion this fall to study the cuts at a parliamentary committee. Lamoureux also called on Citizenship and Immigration Minister Jason Kenney to make public all studies done by his department about the cuts. “There’s a great deal of suspicion that this was a decision that was made on a whim, that there was no real consultation, that there was no real studies,” he said. “We haven’t seen it, and we would like to see the evidence.” The Tories have cut benefits under the interim federal health program, which provides extended health-care benefits to refugees. Refugees will still receive health-care coverage for emergency services, or if their care is required to prevent or treat a disease that could endanger the public. The government argues that refugee claimants shouldn’t receive benefits that aren’t received by Canadian taxpayers, saying the changes were designed to discourage bogus refugee claims. Lamoureux rejected that argument. “The minister of immigration takes something and he attempts to try to make the refugee look like they’re exploiting the system,” he said. “What’s really happening is the minister is exploiting the refugee, and is in fact making a victim of the refugee.”

Canoeists send out distress signal after lightning strike in Manitoba BLOODVEIN, Man. — An Ontario woman is recovering from injuries after she was struck by lightning while canoeing with six other people in Manitoba’s wilderness. RCMP say a group of women and girls were on an organized camp trip and were paddling along the Bloodvein River near Lake Winnipeg on Sunday when a sudden storm approached. They were going to shore when the 23-year-old woman was hit by

Saskatchewan RCMP charge man who fired flare gun at officers LLOYDMINSTER, Sask. — A man is accused of firing a flare gun, a pellet pistol and throwing an axe at RCMP outside the courthouse in Lloydminster, Sask. Police say the distraught man was to appear in court Monday morning on child pornography charges when he opened fire on the officers. Mounties say they did not return fire but cleared people from the courthouse and followed the man when he left the area in a car. He was later arrested without incident and no one was injured. Doug Hatcher, 54, faces assaulting police with a weapon, possession of a weapon dangerous to the public, discharging a firearm with intent and other charges. He is to appear in North Battleford court Thursday.

She “got a pretty good shock” but wasn’t injured. Karpish said the group was well-equipped and managed to send out a GPS distress signal from a safety device. An emergency response co-ordination centre in Houston, Texas, then contacted the RCMP. Mounties initially asked for help from the military’s rescue centre in Trenton, Ont. But officers quickly tracked down an available Manitoba government helicopter. Its pilot was eager to help. Two officers jumped on board and the search chopper quickly found the canoeists, just before nightfall. The group was waving frantically at the helicopter when it arrived, about two hours after the SOS went out. The pilot was able to land in a nearby clearing and the woman was taken to a nearby nursing station. Karpish said she was then air-lifted to a Winnipeg hospital as a precaution. “She’s lucky, very lucky.” The girl remained with the group. “She felt she was not hurt and wanted to carry on with the trip. By all appearances, she seemed just fine.”

Corner-store owners object to Sunday openings A LOOK BACK 25 YEARS AGO ● Smaller city grocery stores are upset about a decision by Canada Safeway Ltd. to open Sundays starting this weekend. They say it might drive small corner stores out of business. At least on other large grocery store — Red Deer Co-op — is considering Sunday opening. Sunday opening of both Safeway and Co-op contravene a city bylaw which says stores more than 1,674 square metres must close one day a week. Stores smaller than that, including Super Sam and IGA, may remain open seven days a week.

50 YEARS AGO ● In two weeks a Red Deer Family will be taking a slow boat to China. For 23 glorious days Norman Gish, his wife Joan, and son David, will relax on the Arcadia until they arrive in Hong Kong. Once in the crown colony, the young family will stay for three years. A year ago Norman joined the Canadian foreign service in the trade division under the department of trade and commerce. He is going to Hong Kong as an assistant Canadian government trade commissioner. ● Central Alberta’s agricultural front was assessing the enormous damage left in the wake of two major and some lesser hailstorms that smashed stands of bumper grain crops around the countryside with hailstones up to the size of baseballs. The Alberta Insurance Board described the storms as the most severe on record. It estimated damage to 200,l00 acres of crops at $2,000,000, with only 20 to 30 percent of crops being insured. ● “This one belonged to a cousin of Louis Riel. It went through the Duck Lake massacre and the entire rebellion.” Ned O’Connor Brown was explaining his collection of 350 old guns, on display at the entrance to the Arena at the fair. The oldest gun is a flintlock pistol dating back to 1669. Some of the others are quite rare, there is a tiny derringer with a percussion cap and hidden trigger. Even a double-barreled revolver is on di8splayl It also has a hidden trigger.

Horses’ natural environment poses skin risks Skin Conditions: Part 2 Every day our horses are exposed to things in their environment that can irritate or cause disease to occur in or on their skin. Today I will continue discussing three common conditions: hives, photosensitivity and scratches. Hives (Urticaria). These are characterized by multiple groups of small edemas or swellings in a localized area or sometimes all over the horse’s body. They are typically a symptom of an allergic reaction. The capillaries under the skin leak clear fluid from the blood into the areas under the skin. Hives can be caused by reactions to food (or additives to their food), topically applied products (bug sprays, groomSHELLY L. ing products), reactions to GRAHAM insect bites or as a reaction to ‘seasonal allergy’ triggers such as pollen or moulds. In most cases, hives tend to be mild, they are itchy and you may notice the horse rubbing the affected areas. Hives should only a few hours to a day or two after exposure to the allergen depending on the nature of the exposure. If the rubbing becomes severe your veterinarian can offer relief with the use of prescription medications. Be aware if the swelling appears to be affecting the horses breathing you should contact your veterinarian. Allergy testing can be done on horses to determine the causes of the reactions. Removing the causes of the allergy will alleviate the problems. Photosensitivity. True hypersensitivity is rare, more common is photosensitivity triggered by chemical reactions/imbalances in the body. This usually occurs on the pink skinned white-haired areas of a horse, commonly the face and the lower legs. There are two types: primary photosensitivity and secondary photosensitivity. In primary photosensitivity, the horse eats enough of a plant that contains a light-sensitive chemical compound which is absorbed into the bloodstream and carried to the capillaries within the skin. When the pink skinned areas are exposed to the sun, there is a reaction with the compound in the capillaries and skin damage occurs. Signs include redness under dry, crusting scabs on white/pink areas of the horse. The affected areas are sore to the touch. If the affected areas have hair, the hair growth remains normal within the scabs. Secondary photosensitivity occurs when the liver is unable to extract a photodynamic compound (called phylloerythrin) found in the chlorophyll that our horse eats with its grass. The compound is carried to the capillaries in the skin and results in secondary photosensitivity and skin damage. While the skin damage is a concern, the liver failing to do its job is the true concern. Ingesting quantities of Alsike Clover is often the cause of this liver damage, which can lead to liver failure and can become fatal.

Images A and B — Alsike Clover found in pasture. Note the absence of the “V” watermark on the leaves (white arrows) and the pink and white colour of the flowers. Image C — White Clover. White arrows show the “V” and black arrow shows the pure colour of the white globe-like flower. Red clover are a solid pink with the same leaves. The blisters are dark, often purplish, that weep, slough and scab over. Often found on the back, fetlocks, coronary band or nostrils. On the legs they may be mistaken for a bad case of scratches. Regardless of the location they are extremely painful and require immediate Veterinary attention. Some horses die within 24 hours of consuming quantities of Alsike Clover and therefore do not exhibit photosensitivity. It is not known how much of this clover needs to be ingested to cause problems or exactly how it contributes to the damage to the liver. It is speculated that it is actually a fungus that grows on the Alsike clover that causes all the problems. Alsike clover is easily identifiable in your pasture. There are the pink globe-like clover flowers, which are red clover. There are white globe-like clover flowers they are white clover. Each of those has leaves that if you look closely have a faint white “V” on them. Both Red and white clover are safe. Alsike clover is the clover with pink and white on the globelike flower and there isn’t a “V” watermark on the leaves. Horses can still get sunburns on their faces, due to over exposure to the sun-the same as us. Applying zinc cream to the areas can protect the area from damage. Scratches. I discussed scratches in column last summer as I fought against a case that turned out to be combined with photosensitivity. This diagnosis

was confirmed by sending a biopsy from the area to the lab. Scratches is a condition that is often called many different names including mud fever, grease heel, dew poisoning and probably the most accurate, pastern dermatitis. These names are often used interchangeably to describe a reaction that really encompasses many different conditions. Essentially, it means skin irritation in the pastern area. The area becomes inflamed, oozing occurs and then scabs form. Because of the broad scope of this condition the causes vary. Bacteria and fungus are the most common culprits. Other causes include mites, photosensitization related to consuming toxic plant matter, sun burn (thought to be reflection from wet grass) or contact with irritating substances. This helps to explain why the treatment that works best for one horse may not work for the next. Removing your horse from the cause (wet conditions, sun exposure) and treating to your Veterinarian’s specifications will begin the healing process. Special ointments are often compounded by your Veterinarian to help soothe and treat scratches. Next time I will finish up this discussion of skin conditions and diseases. Until then, happy horse keeping! Shelly L. Graham is a local rider, trainer, horse breeder and Equine Canada certified coach.

The new birds soon find their wings and learn to feed themselves. During this period much discussion seems to take place in the bird world on what to eat, where to go, how to behave, who to trust, and where to take shelter. Now, it is nearly the beginning of August, and the songbirds have appeared to disappear, both visually and audibly. I have listened and not heard them. I have watched and not seen them in the trees or feeding on the ground. This gives me pause for concern, since it means that the season is coming to an end, with shorter days, cooler temperatures and with it the return of long quiet dark winters. Other signs of the changing of the season strike my eye. The purple asters are out now, one of the later bloomers. The squirrels are beginning to collect some pine and spruce cones and hide them away for the coming winter. The crows are showing signs of ganging up again, sitting atop each fence post for a quarter mile and waiting for the signal to go south. The hay is all baled, the crops are ripening and

hardening off and the growth of the lawn grass has slowed down. Spring started early this year, then slowed down enough to become a late spring and late start to summer. Yet, nature takes its time, and always finds the time to fit everything into the four seasons. The animals are all showing rational behaviour learned from their eons of instincts to do what needs doing. Man, as argued by philosophers, has been called distinct from other creatures in being termed “ the rational animal”. One could make a good case against that argument though. We have only to wonder why it is that month after month, year after year, and century after century we can find so many examples of irrational behaviour in the name of religion, resources or power. I know where the songbirds have gone, but I do not know where mankind is going. Paul Hemingson is a freelance writer who lives near Spruce View.

Phelps adds to medal haul SHATTERS OLYMPIC RECORD WITH 2 MORE MEDALS BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DANIEL ALFREDSSON

ALFREDSSON NOT DONE Ottawa Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson isn’t ready to call it quits just yet. The 39-year-old announced Tuesday he will return to play out the final year of his four-year contract with the NHL club. Alfredsson said he needed to test himself in rigorous off-season training to see if his body could withstand another NHL campaign before deciding whether to return. The result was positive. “I’ve had the motivation of playing from the beginning, but I had to go through the process,” the right winger said on a conference call from Sweden. “With my back problems, I haven’t been able to work out as I’d like the last four years. “And after back surgery last year, I wanted to see where I stand. “I’m happy I feel the way I do.” Alfredsson will return for a 17th season with the only NHL team he has known and where he has been captain since 1999-2000. The gifted playmaker and scorer has amassed 416 goals, 666 assists for 1,082 points in 1,131 games — all team records.

LONDON — Swimmer Michael Phelps became the most successful Olympian in history Tuesday with a gold and a silver medal that propelled him to a place in the sporting record books and the U.S. to 4x200 freestyle victory. Phelps shattered the record for most Olympic medals ever with a frustrating defeat in the 200-meter butterfly that left him with silver and then a relay gold. It was a gripping night in the pool as Chinese teen sensation Ye Shiwen added to an earlier gold and set an Olympic record to win the 200-meter individual medley. Her victory came hours after Olympic organizers and swimming’s governing body leapt to her defence, saying suspicions that she doped were “crazy” and motivated by jealousy. Phelps lost the 200-meter butterfly to South African Chad le Clos, when, after leading all the way, he tried to glide to the wall after his final stroke, opening the way for le Clos to touch the wall first instead. Japan’s Takeshi Matsuda took the bronze. It was an astounding mistake considering he won a memorable race in Beijing when a rival made the very same error. He held his head in his hands as he stood in the pool and appeared upset with himself. But in his second race of the night, he helped the United States win the relay, earning himself the first gold of these Olympics. With 19 career medals spanning three Olympics, Phelps broke the record of Soviet gymnast Larisa Latynina, who won 18 medals in 1956, 1960 and 1964. “You are now a complete legend,” the public address announcer bellowed, accompanied by the Foo Fighters’ song “Best of You.” In the first final of the night, American Allison Schmitt won the 200 freestyle. France’s Camille Muffat took silver and Bronte Barrett of Australia took the bronze. The Americans added to their medals earlier Tuesday with a comfortable victory in the Olympic women’s team gymnastics competition, grabbing their first gold since 1996.

The Russians cried on the sidelines as the U.S. gymnastics team scored a comfortable victory. The British were not as successful, and even the royal rider could not keep Germany from winning its second consecutive Olympic gold medal in equestrian team eventing. Princes William and Harry, and William’s wife Kate were among those cheering Queen Elizabeth II’s granddaughter, Zara Phillips, as she competed in the show jumping course that is the third and final part of equestrian eventing.

gold. Britain won the silver and New Zealand the bronze. “Unfortunately we couldn’t quite do it,” the first-time Olympian said. “We can’t be disappointed with a silver medal because it’s an amazing thing to be here.” Germany also took the gold and bronze in individual equestrian eventing, while Sweden won silver. China earned its third straight Olympic gold diving medal as Chen Ruolin and Wang Hao dominated women’s synchronized 10-meter, ahead of Mexico and Canada.

There were no lastminute deals by Alex Anthopoulos at baseball’s non-waiver trade deadline. The Toronto Blue Jays GM said he had plenty of discussions leading up to the 2 p.m. deadline Tuesday, but never was really close to finalizing a deal. “We thought we were moving towards something late last night . . . it carried over into the morning and ended up falling apart,” Anthopoulos said during a conference call. “That’s just the way trade talks go, you have 1,000 conversations to hopefully get one deal done. “We had a lot of active dialogue, we had a lot of things going on but I don’t know if we were ever that close to getting anything done.” Toronto did make a move prior to the deadline, recalling outfielder Moises Sierra from Triple-A Las Vegas and optioning left-hander Evan Crawford and righthander Joel Carreno to the Pacific Coast League club. Anthopoulos made two deals late Monday night, acquiring relievers Brad Lincoln and Steve Delabar. Toronto sent outfielder Travis Snider to Pittsburgh for right-hander Lincoln while outfielder Eric Thames, who was in Las Vegas, went to Seattle for Delabar, another right-hander. Anthopoulos feels the two trades will not only help Toronto now but also in the future. “We added two bigleague players to our bullpen so I think we’ve improved our club,” he said. “I don’t think there’s any doubt about that right now.” Lincoln was 4-2 with one save and a 2.73 ERA. The 27-year-old pitched 28 games for Pittsburgh this year and

Baseball’s haves picked up more players from the have-nots at Tuesday’s trade deadline, when the Canadian Ryan Dempster was dealt from the Chicago Cubs to the Texas Rangers and Shane Victorino, Hunter Pence and Jonathan Broxton all wound up on new teams. Matt Garza, Josh Johnson and Joe Blanton stayed put for now as the window closed for clubs to make trades without having players pass through waivers. Four days after the AL West rival Los Angeles Angels acquired former Cy Young Award winner Zack Geinke, the Rangers obtained Dempster for infielder Christian Villanueva and pitcher Kyle Hendricks. Texas also acquired catcher Geovany Soto from the Cubs for right-hander Jake Brigham. “It’s a great opportunity over there,” Dempster said. “It’s not going to be easy. There are a lot of teams out there that are really good. I think they have as good a chance as anybody.” Dempster, who will replace Roy Oswalt in the rotation, had power to block deals and refused to approve a trade to Atlanta last week. “I just never said no,” he explained. “The last few days, I had to give it a lot more thought to the teams I might possibly be traded to.” Dempster was 5-5 with a 2.25 ERA in 16 starts for the Cubs and can become a free agent after the season. “He’s a veteran. He’s been through some wars before,” said Rangers general manager Jon Daniels, who team has won two straight AL pennants but no World Series. The faded Philadelphia Phillies, last in the NL East and their run five straight division titles all but over, sent Victorino to the Los Angeles Dodgers for right-

Brad Lincoln is headed to the Toronto Blue Jays. has been a starter and reliever during his career. Anthopoulos wouldn’t rule out Lincoln eventually becoming a starter in Toronto but said he acquired the right-hander specifically to work in the bullpen. “When we looked at him the primary appeal was his ability to pitch late innings, power arm with swing-and-miss stuff,” Anthopoulos said. “That’s what he was really acquired for. “Obviously there is added value where the upside is maybe one day he would potentially be able to start. “But that wasn’t the primary focus when we acquired him.” Delabar, 29, was 2-1 with a 4.17 ERA in 34 games for Seattle and over two seasons with the Mariners was 3-2 with a 3.92 ERA in 40 appearances. The six-foot-five, 220-pound Delabar figured his career was over in 2009 when he fractured his right elbow and required a steel plate and nine screws to be inserted into the joint to

hold it together. Delabar signed as a free agent with Seattle last year and worked his way through the ranks to make his major-league debut Sept. 11, 2011 against Kansas City. Anthopoulos spoke very highly of Sierra, who hit .289 with a teamhigh 17 homers in 100 games at Las Vegas. And while playing time in Toronto might be limited for the 23-yearold Sierra, Anthopoulos praised his defensive ability. “He has certainly done very well from a statistical standpoint and in Las Vegas defensively he has been outstanding,” Anthopoulos said. “It would be interesting to see both him and Jose Bautista throwing from right field to compare the arm strength because (Sierra) has as good an arm probably as any right-fielder in the game. “He’s on the (40-man roster) and being up here certainly won’t be bad for his development.”

Ryan Dempster handers Josh Lindblom and Ethan Martin and cash. They also shipped Pence to San Francisco for outfielder Nate Schierholtz, catching prospect Tommy Joseph and right-hander Seth Rosin. Cincinnati received Broxton from Kansas City, also a cellar dweller. “When you’re in last place, you can try any damn thing,” Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. “You don’t have nothing to lose.” The deals capped a busy two-week period that also saw Ichiro Suzuki, Hanley Ramirez, Anibal Sanchez and Francisco Liriano change teams as general managers assessed whether they had a chance to make this year’s expanded 10-team playoffs or whether to focus on rebuilding for 2013. After winning a franchise-record 102 games last year, the Phillies never recovered from Ryan Howard’s stumble on the last out of last year’s NL division series against St. Louis. Howard, the 2006 NL MVP, tore an Achilles tendon and didn’t come off the disabled list until July 6. All-Star second baseman Chase Utley missed the first 76 games because of a chronic problem in both knees. Pence is batting .271 with 17 homers and 59 RBIs this season. He fills a major need for the Giants, giving them a righthanded hitter with power.

STORIES FROM PG B4

JAYS: Injuries ravage pitchers Crawford, 25, appeared in 10 games with Toronto, posting a 0-0 record and 6.75 earned-run average while Carreno, also 25, was 0-2 with a 6.35 ERA in seven games, including two starts, with the Blue Jays this season. Injuries have ravaged Toronto’s pitching corps this season with starters Brandon Morrow (oblique), Kyle Drabek (torn ulnar collateral ligament) and Drew Hutchinson (sprained ulnar collateral ligament) all out, along with closer Sergio Santos (shoulder) and relievers Luis Perez (torn ulnar collateral ligament) and Jason Frasor (forearm). Bautista, who had an AL-leading 27 homers when he suffered a sprained left wrist July 16, is scheduled to come off the 15-day disabled list Wednesday. But he is expected to require a few more days to fully recover. But with the addition of Lincoln and Delabar, along with J.A. Happ and Brandon Lyon in the 10-player deal with Houston, Toronto has added four new pitchers to the bullpen since July 20. What’s more, three of them will be under team control through next season, giving the Blue Jays added security. However, Toronto’s inability to make more of a splash at the deadline could irritate some fans who’ve waited patiently since 1993 for the club to return to the playoffs. But Anthopoulos said it’s more important the Blue Jays make the right trade. “At the end of the day I think fans understand we’re ultimately doing what we think is best for the long- and

Stags 8 Tigers 1 The Red Deer Stags are still alive in the chase for the final playoff berth in the Sunburst Baseball League, no thanks to their city rivals. The Red Deer Riggers, unable to field a full roster, defaulted a doubleheader to the St. Albert Tigers on Sunday, allowing the Tigers to pull two games clear of the Stags. Undaunted, the Stags gave themselves a fighting chance to snare the fourth and final post-season berth with an 8-1 victory over the Tigers on Tuesday at Great Chief Park. The clubs meet again on Thursday at St. Albert, with the victor claiming fourth place due to winning the head-tohead season series. “It definitely put us behind the eight-ball because it forced us to run the table,” Stags Photo by RANDY FIEDLER/Advocate staff pitcher/co-manager Red Deer Stag third baseman Chayse Marion is late with the throw to get Davin Gulbransen, a St. Albert Tiger hitter out at first Tuesday. who tossed a nifty, complete-game sixhitter, said of the ford driving in a run. pitched well and I thought ByRiggers’ doubleheader deThe victory was just the ron called a great game. fault.

short-term of the club,” he said. “I don’t think anybody wants us to make a bad deal. “I think the fans realize and certainly follow along in terms of making the right deal and I think that’s all they really care about. As long as we continue to improve the club and again I don’t know they ever want us to necessarily do it at the expense of doing a bad deal.”

PENCE: The perfect storm of injuries “I don’t think anyone really anticipated the season that’s gone on,” Pence said in Washington after the trade. “It was the perfect storm of injuries and things didn’t go right for us, so that’s the way the business of the game is and you have to understand that. Everything is understood. The Phillies are going in a different direction. We had a great run at it. Now I’m going a different way.” Victorino, nicknamed the Flyin’ Hawaiian, is batting .261 with nine homers, 40 RBIs and 24 steals. He helped the Phillies win five straight NL East titles and the 2008 World Series championship. “Mahalo to the (at)Phillies and the AMAZING fans in Philly for a great run. A lot of unforgettable memories in this city. I’ll miss you guys!” Victorino wrote on Twitter. While getting rid of stars, the Phillies held on to Cliff Lee and Blanton.

Washington has emerged with young talents Stephen Strasburg and Bryce Harper and leads the NL East as the Nationals try to bring post-season play to the capital for the first time since 1933. “Our division has undergone a real sort of metamorphosis,” Mets general manager Sandy Alderson said. Houston and the nearly as awful Cubs also shed salaries. Jed Lowrie at $1.15 million is now the highest-paid player on the Astros, who started the season with a payroll of nearly $61 million.

Casey wins Halifax event BY THE CANADIAN PRESS HALIFAX — Through 18 holes, defending champion Jhonattan Vegas never trailed at the Telus World Skins Game. But a single shot from England’s Paul Casey shot brought Vegas — and the house — down, winning a $100,000, closest-to-thepin chip off to capture the charity event at Glen Arbour Golf Course on Tuesday. After only one skin and $15,000 on Monday, Casey finished with eight skins and $185,000 thanks to a brilliant strike in the chip off. Vegas, who led after the opening day and throughout regulation play, finished second with five skins and $85,000. He was shut out on the back nine and never lost the lead until Casey swiped the final four skins in the tiebreaker. “We all do this for a living, but you get to the point where you realize this is not about (winning) golf, it’s about being able to play golf with four of my good mates and help (charities),” Casey said. Sweden’s Carl Pettersson (three skins, $60,000), Calgary’s Stephen Ames (one skin, $15,000) and American Lucas Glover (one skin,

STORY FROM PG B4

OLYMPICS: One Williams advances In tennis, Serena Williams was not selected to play in mixed doubles, while her sister Venus moved into the third round after beating Aleksandra Wozniak of Canada 6-1, 6-3. Williams must play every day to reach the final Saturday, and the question is whether she can keep it up as she fights an autoimmune disease that causes fatigue. She is also playing doubles with her sister, Serena. Serena Williams had also wanted to play mixed doubles. But U.S. coach Mary Joe Fernandez said Tuesday that it would have stretched her too thin. Andy Roddick played his last day at the games after losing the second round 6-2, 6-1, to Novak Djokovic of Serbia. British hopeful Andy Murray, seeded third, advanced by beating Jarkko Nieminen of Finland 6-2, 6-4. Olympic tennis also saw a new record when Jo-Wilfried Tsonga

$15,000) rounded out the field. While Casey came on late, Vegas stole the show in blazing conditions. The powerful Venezuelan flexed his muscle throughout, driving the green on the par-4, No. 15 hole to create distance from the field until a two-putt for birdie forced a carryover. Unfazed, he drove the green on the next par-4, and then went too hard on the eagle putt to settle for another carryover. “Those (big drives) don’t mean anything,” Vegas said of his strength. “I couldn’t make the eagle putts.” After the final four holes carried over, every player remained in contention for the title, resulting in a unique, 125-yard tiebreaker. Ames found humour in the dramatic finale. “It was all planned for the (television) cameras,” he joked. For his part, Casey was happy with the bizarre climax — especially given the outcome. “I loved it,” he said with a smile. “I don’t see an issue with it

at all.” Organizers allowed LPGA Tour veteran Lori Kane of Charlottetown to take a swing during the closest to the pin shootout, drawing applause from the gallery. Earlier, Casey made a playful appeal to take things seriously on the back nine before play resumed. But his relaxed playing partners shrugged off the suggestion with easy grins and chatter. After Casey rolled in a long range birdie putt to win two skins and $45,000 on No. 13, he was met with a happy hug from Ames — an unusual show of support on the golf course. Casey then scored an eagle on No. 14 to snag another $25,000 and suffered the cold shoulder as a result. After being shut out on the opening day, Sweden’s Carl Pettersson quickly stole three skins and $60,000 with a short birdie putt on the par-3, No. 11 hole. This was the 20th anniversary of the event, and the first to visit Nova Scotia. The golfers raised more than $70,000 for the IWK Health Centre Foundation in Halifax with eagles and birdies over the two days.

of France defeated Milos Raonic of Canada, 6-3, 3-6, 25-23. The previous record was 30 games, set in 2004. There was good news for the host country as British rower Alan Campbell qualified fastest for the semifinals of the men’s single sculls. Reigning two-time champion Olaf Tufte of Norway also squeezed into the semifinals by placing third in the last quarterfinal. Britain is favoured to win three women’s rowing events and has gold medal chances in several men’s disciplines when finals begin Wednesday. The French added to their medals when Tony Estanguet won gold in the men’s canoe slalom, regaining the Olympic title he won in 2000 and 2004. Sideris Tasiadis of Germany took the silver and defending champion Michal Martikan of Slovakia won bronze. The United States upset Argentina 1-0 in women’s field hockey Tuesday night — this after they got into the Olympics by stunning Argentina 4-2 in last year’s final at the Pan American Games — which was considered the best win in U.S. field hockey history at the time. In Olympic men’s basketball, Russia beat China 73-54 in its second victory in two games, while Montenegro dealt water polo

powerhouse Hungary its second consecutive loss of the London Games, beating the three-time defending Olympic champion 11-10. South Korea and Slovenia both won their first judo gold medals of the London Games — respectively in the men’s 83-kilogram division and the women’s 63-kilogram class. And Saudi judo athlete Wojdan Ali Seraj Abdulrahim Shahrkhani learned she will be allowed to compete Friday in the women’s heavyweight division, after the IOC said officials had reached an agreement. Saudi Arabia sent its first two women athletes ever to the London Games on condition they adhere to the kingdom’s conservative Islamic traditions, including wearing a headscarf. But judo officials had initially said a headscarf could be dangerous because the sport includes chokeholds and aggressive grabbing techniques. In Olympic women’s football, Britain beat Brazil 1-0 to the quarterfinals after winning Group E without a defeat, joining the United States with a perfect record of three victories from group play. China was expected to win its seventh straight Olympic gold medal today in women’s table tennis singles.

Quick end for Braves ACME — It was a disappointing end to the season for the Red Deer Sports World Braves. The Braves went into the provincial midget AA baseball championships, with a 17-2 record and ranked second. However, they dropped two of their three starts and were eliminated. The Braves lost 6-2 to the sixth-seeded Camrose Cougars and beat Bonnyville 13-9 before dropping a 12-8 decision to the Acme Red Sox in the quarter-finals. Joe Ireland started against Camrose and allowed three rune over three innings on six hits. Jayden Hutlet eventually took the loss. At the plate the Braves bats were cold managing only seventhinning runs by Reid Stoyberg and Alec Mitchell. The Bonnyville contest didn’t start well with the Braves trailing 9-0 after only two innings. However, they exploded for nine runs in the third inning to tie the score before pulling away. Mitchell and Logan Marshall had key RBI doubles in the third inning. Marshall was two-forfour while Mitchell had two hits, three RBIs and scored twice. Jesse Kowalchuk had a pair of hits, a walk and scored three times while Jesse Muir-

MIDGET AA head singled twice and scored twice. Hutlet drew four walks and scored twice. Marshall picked up the win on the mound in relief of Chaz Piche, who replaced starter Tyler Galloway.

The Braves led Acme 7-3 after three innings, only to see the host team battle back to trail 8-7 heading into the seventh inning where they exploded for five runs to pull away. Teagan Colonna took the loss in relief of Muirhead, who relieved Hutlet. Mitchell had a single, double and three RBIs for the Braves while Colonna added a pair of singles and scored twice. Alex Heinzlmeir had a two-run double and scored once while Galloway scored three times on a hit and two walks. Marshall had an RBI single and scored once. The Acme game was the final game of their midget careers for Jeff and Joe Ireland, Piche, Heinzlmeir, Marshall, Stoyberg and Mitchell.

NOT RANDOM INCIDENT, RCMP SAY AFTER PARTIALLY EXPLODED PIPE BOMB FOUND IN CITY BY JESSICA JONES ADVOCATE STAFF Police are saying that a pipe bomb that exploded under an SUV parked in Red Deer’s northwest on Saturday is believed to be a targeted event. Red Deer City RCMP Cpl. Kathe DeHeer said on Tuesday that they found a partially exploded pipe bomb after being called to a residence on the 100th block of Nielsen Close around 2 p.m. “It is not a random incident,” she said. Pipe bombs, typically made by filling a pipe with explosive materials, are unusual for Red Deer, DeHeer said. “We certainly haven’t had many in Red

Deer.” Police investigation revealed that neighbours in the area reported hearing a blast and seeing smoke earlier in the morning around 3:35 a.m. They do not believe at this time that the pipe bomb explosion had anything to do with another incident in Red Deer involving an extensive investigation into drug distribution and organized crime. “It is entirely isolated,” DeHeer said. Police are saying the SUV suffered minimal damage as a result of the blast and that no one was injured. DeHeer was unaware what, if any, damage the SUV sustained. The Red Deer Forensic Identification Section and the RCMP Explosive Disposal

Unit from Edmonton were called in to assist in the investigation. They determined that the pipe bomb had an “incomplete explosion.” No details were provided about the pipe bomb itself. Police have no suspects at this time and are looking for the public’s assistance. If you have any information about this crime, contact Red Deer City RCMP at 403-3435575. If you wish to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or report it online at www.tipsubmit.com. If the information leads to an arrest, tipsters are eligible for a cash reward of up to $2,000. jjones@reddeeradvocate.com

Dog wanders off, then gets adopted despite calls to SPCA BY LAURA TESTER ADVOCATE STAFF A Red Deer family is distraught an animal control operator adopted out their pooch after it went missing a week earlier. Colleen Setter and her husband John and their three teenaged children learned that their missing eight-yearold shih tzu Bert was adopted by another family through Alberta Animal Services. Setter said they’ve had their dog since he was six weeks old and since then he’s become a member of the family. On July 17, she was giving Bert and his brother Buddy a bath and then let them dry off outside. Their collars with ID tags were not on them when they found their way out of the yard. They ran down the back alley. But only Buddy returned after about 10 minutes. The family put up “missing” posters and Setter phoned the non-profit Red Deer and District SPCA animal shelter. Setter said she phoned the shelter several times and gave them the particulars about her dog, but there was no mention of checking with Alberta Animal Services. The City of Red Deer contracts the company to provide animal control. After dropping off a photo to the SPCA, an employee told her about Alberta Animal Services, which Setter had not heard of before. Setter phoned Alberta Animal Services immediately on July 23 and found out that Bert had been there, but was adopted by a new family and they had given him the new name of Koko. He was also neutered. She received a phone call from staff at Alberta Animal Services the next day saying their rules had changed overnight and that they had

“We’re still in shock and devastated. “We just can’t believe this has happened.” Setter said their dog Bert has a medical condition as well, so they were careful what they give him for food.

A new high-pressure sweet gas pipeline is set to be built on the eastern limits of Red Deer. ATCO Pipelines plans to start building the eight-km long pipeline this October in order to meet forecasted 2012 winter gas demands. Scott Arndt, vice-president of operations and engineering for the company, said the pipeline is needed to meet the needs of customers in the area. “By installing this new pipeline it’s going to increase our pipeline capacity in the area, to be able to deliver to the distribution company so they can deliver gas to residents in the area,” said Arndt on Tuesday. Arndt said the pipeline would be built within the newest annexation area. It’s parallel to the high voltage power line on the east side of the city. “We’re working with other utility owners and creating a bit of a utility corridor there,” said Arndt. The proposed pipeline would exist about 800 metres from the current development. Arndt said they’re building to it to the highest standards and guidelines required by Alberta Utilities Commission and the Energy Resources Conservation Board. It will have ongoing maintenance and inspection, so the risk is very minimal. “Probably the biggest risk is from third-party damage where people are digging without calling for locates,” said Arndt. It will be monitored 24 hours a day from the control centre. Arndt said the risk of a leak would be minimal due to the pipeline being new.

The family has indicated it needed a week to think about giving their new pet back or not. “I said I would pay the fees that the new owners paid, if I could have my dog back,” said Setter.

Charities benefit from Westerner events BY JESSICA JONES ADVOCATE STAFF Westerner Days has another record on the books. This time, however, numerous local charities benefited from nearly $36,000 that was raised from 17 off-site events scheduled between July 18 to 22. Red Deer businesses came together with Westerner Park to provide 18 local charities with the proceeds made from events such as pancake breakfasts’ and barbecues. The off-site events raised a total of $35,834.18.

Among the beneficiaries was the Red Deer Food Bank Society. Bower Place Shopping Centre’s pancake breakfast raised approximately $5,900 for the organization. Alice Kolisnyk, deputy director at the Red Deer Food Bank Society, says the funds are needed this time of year. “It’s a big help because between the summer months the donations are not as plentiful as they are at Christmas time,” she said. The funds will be used to pay utility bills and to purchase perishable food items that cannot be donated. “It will really help with the day-to-day things,” Kolisnyk said.

Red Deer’s Golden Circle received $7,122 after Mooney Insurance hosted an off-site pancake breakfast. The organization provides senior’s outreach services, resources and activities. The funds will go towards the Golden Circle’s programming, said executive director Monica Morrison. “Every penny counts,” she said. “With the community jumping in and supporting us in this fashion, it helps us maintain programs at the circle.” Westerner Days also broke an attendance record this year, with over 100,000 visitors. jjones@reddeeradvocate.com

BLISSFUL BEACH

BRIEFS New members on board Central Alberta Child and Family Services Authority has two new cochairs and three new board members. The 10-member board supports the efforts of CFSA by providing strategic direction, monitoring and assessing regional activities, and providing governance support. Two current board members — Jason Sansregret, of Consort, and Christine Moore, of Red Deer County — were selected to serve as co-chairs. Sansregret has served as a member for over four years and Moore has served for one year. New board members are Patricia-Jo Churchill, of Innisfail; Roxanne Stillings, of Consort; and Lorraine White, of Louis Bull-Hobbema. Reappointed members are Alice Berger, of Drayton Valley; Lori McCrea, of Lacombe; John (Jack) Ramsden, of Three Hills; Grace Higgins, of Red Deer; and Charlene Burns, of Ponoka. Members are appointed by the Minister Human Services to bring a variety of community perspectives and experiences to the governance table. Central Alberta Child and Family Services Authority is the third largest of 10 regional authorities in Alberta.

Articles win accolades A local columnist and blogger has received accolades for her two articles about her journey with breast cancer. Marcia Laycock, of Blackfalds, won a national writing competition for the blogs she posted on her website www. caringbridge.com. Laycock is known for writing the column, The Spur, which appeared in Ponoka newspapers and is now carried by Living Light News in Edmonton. Laycock’s entry in The World Guild Canadian Christian Writing Awards won in the blog series category. Diagnosed with breast cancer over a hear ago, Laycock’s first blog post was a memoir and devotional about the anticipation of going through chemotherapy treatments. She tells the story about going to visit a friend and noticing flowers surviving through rocks and how this was a message to surviving cancer. Her second post was written from the perspective that her life would change as she would undergo treatment and how she had a new perspective on some of the ordinary things of life. A year later Laycock is pleased with her recovery and has been dis-

The published author also wrote the award winning devotional book Spur of the Moment. For the past 20 years she has been a pastor’s wife and is a mother of three.

Ultralight plane crashes A 57-year-old pilot from Red Deer walked away from an ultra light plane crash shortly after takeoff from the Ponoka Airport on Tuesday. RCMP Ponoka say the ultra light aircraft came down at about 11:30 a.m. in a farmer’s field about 90 metres from the south end of the runway. The man, who was the only occupant, was transported to hospital by ambulance with non life-threatening injuries. According to preliminary information, investigators believe the incident was likely caused by mechanical failure. The exact cause will be determined by Transport Canada.

Bentley arena boosted Lacombe County has logged an assist in Bentley’s arena renovation project. Council approved spending up to $100,000 to help the town undertake major upgrades to the arena. The project, estimated to cost $621,500, would see the roof replaced, lighting and heating fixtures replaced, washrooms upgraded and a new natural gas-powered Zamboni purchased. The town hopes to line up just under $400,000 in federal and provincial grants and $10,000 each from Bentley Minor Hockey and the Bentley Rodeo Committee. Also going towards the project will be $25,000 the town won for its fourthplace finish in the 2011 Kraft Hockeyville competition. In a letter to the county, the town asked for $89,250 to cover half of the $178,500 not covered by other funding.

The town will pay the other half. Bentley Arena was built in the 1960s and has been renovated over the years.

Recreation plan started Lacombe County is taking the first steps forward in a plan designed to create a blueprint for how recreation is developed. The plan will be undertaken in stages with Calgary-based CDC Consultants, which made a presentation to council recently. The first phase will cost $15,000 to $20,000 and will see a policy framework and discussion document on creating a new model for developing and supporting recreation infrastructure. Consultants and staff will also undertake a detailed review of existing recreation facilities and opportunities and the county’s involvement. A joint meeting with municipalities within the county boundaries will follow. County Reeve Ken Wigmore said the plan could take 18 months to two years to complete and cost $150,000 or more. Wigmore said the goal of the plan is to identify what sorts of recreational opportunities the county will support. “It kind of gives everybody a chance to buy into this plan. It tells everybody what they can expect.” It is anticipated that the master plan will identify different levels of support for different communities depending on size and other factors. Upcoming phases of the project include developing a strategic plan, undertaking a needs assessment, developing a parks, trails and open spaces strategy, reviewing the provisions for indoor and outdoor facilities and then creating the master plan summary document. Providing recreation has become a bigger issue in the county because of the number of new and proposed country residential subdivisions and RV developments that are expected to draw thousands of people to the municipality in coming years.

Emergency access plan stirs opposition BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF Blissful Beach residents opposed to a proposed emergency access into their neighbourhood will have an opportunity to make their case before Lacombe County council. Homeowners in the neighbouring Summer Village of Sunbreaker Cove have requested the county look at building a second route out of their neighbourhood for emergency vehicles. Some are concerned that a fire or other incident could block the only road in to fire trucks or ambulances. However, the proposal has not sat well with many Blissful Beach residents who fear the emergency access would evolve into a new route into their neighbourhood for ATVs and other traffic from Sunbreaker Cove. Twenty-seven letters were sent out to Blissful Beach residents and 14 responses came back, all opposed to the access. A similar proposal had been made 12 years ago, but was abandoned because of Blissful Beach opposition. At a recent council meeting, county staff had recommended council approve the new route and split the cost with Sunbreaker Cove. It was also recommended that a gate or bollards be installed so that only pedestrians or emergency vehicles could use the route year-round. Similar access systems are in place in other county subdivisions. The cost of the access road has been estimated at $55,000. Currently, there is a gate at the end of the road serving Blissful Beach to prevent quads from cutting through from one neighbourhood to another. The gate is opened in the winter for snowmobilers. Reeve Ken Wigmore said council opted to defer a decision until they meet with Blissful Beach residents. The issue is expected to be on the agenda for the Aug. 9 meeting. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

WALMART CORRECTION NOTICE

There are systems that will detect the pipeline leak and then response and emergency plans will kick in. There is no health risk, he added. “The biggest risk is that it would find some sort of ignition,” Arndt said. “Unless there’s a source of ignition right on the pipeline, the gas, if there be any leak, would tend to migrate to the surface and because it’s lighter than air, it goes up.” Arndt said the company is now working with landowners on getting their permission, and it would still need a permit from the utilities commission as well. The city must also confirm it doesn’t object to the pipeline. The two parties have been working closely on routing. The project is estimated at $12 million. Arndt said one side benefit of this project is that a pipeline along 30th Avenue, installed about 60 years ago, would likely be abandoned in the near future. When abandoned, the gas is removed and it’s displaced with air. The signs and pipeline remain.

City of Red Deer Inspections and Licensing manager Howard Thompson said he believes that Alberta Animal Services acted within the guidelines of the city dog bylaw. “Alberta Animal Services is trying to be intermediary with the new owners or tried to provide other options for them,” said Thompson. “It’s a very unfortunate situation.” Thompson said he feels that there’s good communication between the SPCA and Alberta Animal Services, and they do refer to each other on their websites. “There’s always opportunity for education,” said Thompson. Thompson said the dog control bylaw includes the 72-hour waiting period. This is something that city council could always review, he added.

care manager for the SPCA, said it’s important that pet owners know what resources are on hand in the community. “We leave it as a seven-day (waiting period) process in the hope that owners will come forward and reclaim,” said Corpe. “We don’t want to adopt someone’s animal out.” Corpe called Setter’s case a “really unfortunate circumstance.” “I would like to believe that this doesn’t happen very often.” “Our staff is trained when taking lost reports to refer them to Alberta Animal Services,” said Corpe. Hellewell said she’s not sure what happened in Setter’s case because typically SPCA and Alberta Animal Services work well together. The SPCA tries to fax off reports to Alberta Animal Services, but that’s not always consistent in the shelter that’s so busy and has little staff. Hellewell encouraged owners to have their pets microchipped or tattooed. Any animal shelter or clinic would look up the number and find out the identity of the owner.

DIMINISHED EXPECTATIONS FOR U.S. STIMULUS SEND OIL PRICES DOWN NEW YORK — Oil prices fell Tuesday as hopes faded for a new round of economic stimulus in the U.S. Benchmark U.S. crude lost $1.72, or about 2 per cent, to end the day at US$88.06 per barrel in New York, while Brent crude lost $1.28 to finish at $104.92 per barrel in London. Traders have been guessing for months about when and whether the Federal Reserve would try to spark the economy. Hopes rose last week, then retreated Tuesday, following reports of strengthening consumer confidence and home values. The Conference Board said U.S. consumer confidence rose in July after four months of declines. That’s an especially promising sign, given that consumer spending drives 70 per cent of the U.S. economy. And the housing industry’s prospects looked brighter as prices rose across the country. As long as the economy shows signs of life, the Fed may hold off on new stimulus measures that in previous years propped up the price of oil, analyst Phil Flynn said.

U.S. CONSUMER CONFIDENCE UP SLIGHTLY NEW YORK — U.S. consumer confidence rose in July after four months of declines. A better outlook on short-term hiring and lower gas prices offset lingering worries about the economy and poor income growth. The Conference Board said Tuesday that its consumer confidence index increased to 65.9, from 62.7 in June. That’s the highest reading since April and better than the reading of 62 that economists had forecast. Still, the index remains well below 90, which indicates a healthy economy. It hasn’t been near that level since the Great Recession began in December 2007. The index fell to an all-time low of 25.3 in February 2009 — four months before the recession officially ended. Consumer confidence is widely watched because consumer spending drives 70 per cent of U.S. economic activity. — The Associated Press

BUSINESS Growth still slowing C3

Wednesday, Aug. 1, 2012

Harley Richards, Business Editor, 403-314-4337 E-mail editorial@reddeeradvocate.com

CANADA’S ECONOMY DISAPPOINTS IN MAY WITH BELOW CONSENSUS 0.1% ADVANCE BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Canada’s economy moved back into the slow lane in May, posting a below-expectations 0.1 per cent advance that set the stage for a sub-par second quarter and year. The May gross domestic product figure released Tuesday left April’s 0.3 per cent expansion as the only solid month for the economy so far this year. Economists had expected a more robust showing of 0.2 per cent, and some even as high as 0.3 per cent, given previous indicators that suggested retail sales, manufacturing and wholesale trade would all contribute to growth. Retail sales did perform strongly, rising 0.7 per cent after a slightly larger decline in April, while wholesale trade edged up 0.1 per cent, the sixth consecutive advance.

ECONOMY But manufacturing fell by 0.5 per cent, mainly as a result of lower production of machinery, computer and electronic products and primary metals. Construction was also down, by 0.2 per cent, a further sign of the slowdown in the residential housing market. Economists have been downgrading expectations for the economy all year, mostly due to continuing and deepening debt problems in Europe and anemic growth in the United States, and now say still further disappointments may be in store. “Perhaps this is as well as we can expect to do when growth in our major trading partners is either lacklustre as it is in the U.S., or non-existent as it is in Europe,” said Avery Shenfeld, chief economist with

CIBC World Markets. Global weakness helped explain part of the contraction in the export-dependent factory sector, but there were also signs of trouble in the domestic economy. “The signs are that the housing sector is losing altitude,” said Bank of Montreal economist Doug Porter, noting the decline in residential construction and the 4.8 per cent drop-off in real estate agents and brokers activity. Scotiabank’s Derek Holt said based on what is known so far, the April-June period could come in as low as 1.4 per cent annualized, which would not even match the Bank of Canada’s downwardly revised 1.8 target. That would make it the third consecutive quarter of sub-two-per-cent growth in Canada, dating back to the last three months of 2011.

West Fraser inks wood deal with province BY HARLEY RICHARDS ADVOCATE BUSINESS EDITOR Sundre Forest Products Inc. has secured its feedstock for the next two decades. The West Fraser Timber Co. Ltd. division, which operates the Sundre Forest Products sawmill, planer and wood-treating plant at Sundre, and the West Fraser LVL laminated veneer lumber plant at Rocky Mountain House, has entered into a new forest management agreement with the province. Covering more than 1.4 million acres of land west of Rocky, Caroline and Sundre, it will run from Sept. 1 to April of 2033. The agreement replaces a similar one that had been in place since 1992. It entitles Sundre Forest Products “to establish, grow, harvest and remove timber on the forest management area,” and requires the company to pay the province a fixed fee plus timber dues, and follow sound forest management practices, including reforestation. “We just are finishing this week a planting program that’s going to be about five million trees this summer,” said Tom Daniels, forestry superintendent with Sundre Forest Products. Similar planting programs are conducted each year, he added. Daniels said his company also recently made significant capital investments in its facilities, even though the 1992 forest management agreement was nearing its end. “We had a good feeling that the renewal was going to go ahead,” he said, explaining that the province has supported renewals as long as forestry companies live up to their management obligations. Under the new agreement, Sundre Forest Products must submit a detailed forest management plan for provincial approval by April 30, 2015, and another by April 30, 2025. Until 2015, the company will operate under its current plan. “We’ve already started work on the one for 2015,” said Daniels. “Those plans take several years to put together.” Sundre Forest Products recently did an aerial photography survey of its management area and is seeking input from interested groups and the general public. “What does society want to see, what do the trappers want to see, what does the oil and gas industry want to see out there as well,” summed up Daniels. “So we’ll be engaging with all those folks to try to figure out how we can best do all that.”

Schlumberger pressure pumping base slated for McKenzie park BY HARLEY RICHARDS ADVOCATE BUSINESS EDITOR Schlumberger Ltd. expects to take up residence in McKenzie Industrial Business Park within a year. The international oilfield services company bought a 44-acre parcel in the business park south of Red Deer late last year. It declined to comment on its plans for the property, but has now issued a statement indicating that the site will become home to a pressure pumping base that will support Schlumberger’s stimulation and cementing operations in Central Alberta. “Demand on our pumping services and resources has necessitated a significantly larger facility footprint and service infrastructure to ensure we meet the needs of our clients as efficiently as possible,” said Bill Partanen, the company’s district supervisor of pressure pumping services. The pressure pumping base is expected to be ready for use by next June. A diverse range of staff will work there, said Schlumberger, including managers, engineers, health and safety personnel, equipment operators, electronic technicians and laboratory support. The company did not elaborate on the types of buildings to be constructed there. But Red Deer County recently approved a site plan that includes an 84,000-square-foot workshop, a 9,450-square-foot truck wash facility, a 34,300-square-foot bulk plant and

lab, a 6,370-square foot fuel island and a truck staging area. An employee parking area with 345 stalls and 315 truck-parking spaces are also planned. McKenzie Industrial Business Park is located on the northeast corner of Range Road 273 (40th Avenue) and McKenzie Road (Township Road 374). Melcor Developments Ltd. is the managing partner of the park. Guy Pelletier, Melcor’s Red Deer region vice-president, said Schlumberger’s arrival provides a big boost. “That’s huge, both for us as a developer and for Red Deer County as well, to have a company of that profile in the park. It will attract a lot of other users, we’re hoping.” Pelletier said McKenzie Industrial Business Park’s proximity to Hwy 2, especially with the county upgrading McKenzie Road to allow year-round truck use, is an attractive feature. He noted that Schlumberger’s operations are truck-dependent. “If they’re comfortable that it meets their access needs, then we would hope other, similar companies would find that as well.” Schlumberger’s property and a small adjacent lot make up Phase 2 of the 154-acre McKenzie Industrial Business Park. Phase 1 consists of nine lots, of which five have been spoken for. One was purchased by Pidherney’s Trucking Ltd. and another is slated for the development of an indoor gun range by Red Deer Shooting Centre Inc.

Quebec government vows to block Lowe’s bid for Rona BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — Quebec is vowing to prevent a $1.76-billion bid for one of Canada’s largest home improvement companies by U.S.-based Lowe’s, which is expected to keep up the pressure to buy Rona despite having its offer rejected by the home-grown retailer. Rona (TSX:RON) said Tuesday it refused the unsolicited takeover of $14.50 per share because it isn’t in the interest of its shareholders. The deal would have given Lowe’s a bigger foothold in Canada. But the overture caught the attention of Quebec’s provincial government, which said it is vehemently opposed to the company falling into foreign hands, while powerful pension manager Caisse de depot et placement du Quebec promptly increased its stake in Rona. “This transaction does not appear to be in the interests of either Quebec or Can-

ada,” said Quebec Finance Minister Raymond Bachand. “Rona is a major player in Quebec’s economy, particularly in the manufacturing industry because of its extensive network of suppliers and strong links with many regional players across Canada.” Tuesday’s public disclosure of the offer followed months of rumours that Lowe’s had Rona in its sights — rumours that only intensified after Rona announced the closure of a dozen warehouse stores in Canada earlier this year following disappointing results. Rona said it received the offer on July 8 and told Lowe’s last week that it was rejecting the proposal. Lowe’s said it actually first approached Rona even earlier, including a previous proposal dated Dec. 15, 2011. Rona stock rose as high as $14.49 a share Tuesday on the Toronto Stock Exchange but gave up some of the gains later in the session. The company’s stock closed at $13.50,

up $1.63 or almost 14 per cent. The relatively wide gap between Lowe’s offer and the market price suggests investors were uncertain that there will be a deal, given the negative response from Rona’s board and the Quebec government. “The board believes that, in the best interests of Rona and its stakeholders, the corporation should remain focused on executing its business plan with a view to capturing significant opportunities that it sees for its business,” Rona said in a statement. But Lowe’s apparently is prepared to keep knocking at the Canadian company’s door. It issued a statement that said institutional fund managers controlling about 15 per cent of Rona’s stock have expressed support for the acquisition. By some definitions, Lowe’s public stance means it’s ready to make a hostile takeover bid — one that goes around the board of directors and directly to shareholders — although Lowe’s said it would prefer a friendly deal.

MARKETS CLOSE TORONTO — The Toronto stock market turned negative on Tuesday as traders began to think twice about the optimism they’ve had over Europe’s efforts to rescue its struggling economy. The S&P/TSX composite index weakened 93.17 points to close at 11,664.71, with most of the decline coming in afternoon trading. The TSX Venture Exchange slipped 1.35 points to 1,183.01. The Canadian dollar fell 0.11

of a cent to 99.71 cents US. Hopes began to fade over how much the European Central Bank will do to help countries with crippling debt when it meets on Thursday. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve has started its two-day policy meeting, and is expected to announce some kind of new step to energize the U.S. economy, though the timing is still in question. Some economists have suggested that the Fed isn’t con-

FORESTRY: Beetle threat A key consideration is the threat posed by mountain pine beetles — a pest that’s decimated British Columbia’s forests. “We could be going from zero beetles to full-on beetles, just with one big flight coming out of British Columbia or out of Northern Alberta. We will have to then readjust our plans and figure out what it is we’re going to do to get at the beetles.” That would likely involve harvesting older stands of trees, said Daniels. “They tend to be the ones that are targeted by the beetles and they’re the ones that they have the best opportunity for living within.” The Alberta Wilderness Association has complained that Sundre Forest Products’ forestry management agreement, and another involving Slave Lake Pulp Corp. in Northern Alberta, don’t give the province enough flexibility to address issues like watershed health and wildlife preservation. Association spokeswoman Carolyn Campbell said the agreements characterize the forest primarily as a source of tim-

Figures are subject to change without notice. vinced that the U.S. economic slowdown is in such a state to warrant further economic stimulus — and recent economic data has shown some positive elements. “If the Fed and the ECB don’t do anything, as some economists expect, it’s going to be quite disappointing for investors,” said John Johnston, chief strategist at David Rea Ltd. in an interview. “If they just barely meet expectations by doing something typical and not overly aggressive then I think the equity markets are vulnerable to some profit taking.” In U.S. economic data, consumer confidence rose in July for the first time in four months. The Conference Board said the confidence index increased to 65.9, from 62.7 in June. That’s the highest reading since April and better than the reading of 62 that economists had forecast. However, the index sits notably lower than 90, which indicates a healthy economy. Also, U.S. home prices rose in May from April in every city tracked by a leading index, a sign that increasing sales and tight inventories are supporting a modest housing recovery. The Standard & Poor’s/Case-Shiller home price index showed a measure of national prices rose 2.2 per cent from April to May, the second increase after seven months of flat or declining readings. On Wall Street, the Dow Jones industrial average de-

ber. She also said that the Sundre Forest Products agreement was reached without public input. But Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development spokesperson Duncan MacDonnell said the government is able to withdraw sensitive land from the agreement’s coverage, and the public has input into the 10-year management plans. Daniels said the forest management plans are probably more important when it comes to how the forests are harvested and maintained. He pointed out that Sundre Forest Products has a long-term stake in the area. “We could see ourselves being here forever basically, provided that we continue to meet the obligations of the agreement.” With files from The Canadian Press. hrichards@reddeeradvocate.com

In commodities, the September crude contract on the New York Mercantile Exchange was down $1.72 to US$88.06 a barrel near midday. Earlier in the session, crude had been above Monday’s close. September copper moved up 1.5 cents to US$3.42 a pound while August gold ended off $9.20 at US$1,610.50 an ounce. In corporate developments, Rona Inc. (TSX:RON) shares were up 13.7 per cent after the company rebuffed an unsolicited takeover from Lowe’s Companies worth $1.76 billion. The Montreal-area company said the offer from its American rival (NYSE:LOW) wouldn’t be in its shareholders’ best interest, but Lowe’s said it intended to further pursue a transaction. Rona shares rose $1.63 to $13.50. In earnings news, Thomson Reuters (TSX:TRI) says its adjusted profit rose to 54 cents per share, compared to 51 cents per share in the second quarter of 2011. Its diluted earnings per share, under IFRS, was $1.11 per share up from 67 cents per share in the second quarter of 2011. Overall revenue fell by four per cent to US$3.3 billion from $3.4 billion. Shares backed off 50 cents to $28.44. Inmet Mining (TSX:IMN) said higher copper sales volumes helped push its second quarter earnings up 74 per cent from profits reported a year earlier.

Toromont Industries Ltd. (TSX:TIH) says its secondquarter profit from continuing operations was $25.7 million, an improvement from the comparable period last year when it earned $159.7 million. The profit amounted to 34 cents per share, two cents per share below a consensus estimate compiled by Thomson Reuters. Toromont shares were down 10 cents to $20.85.

The company reported net income of US$94.2 million or $1.36 per share for the quarter ended June 30, compared to $54.3 million or 83 cents per share for the same period a year earlier. Inmet shares gained five per cent, or $1.81 to $39.89. A federal arbitrator has sided with Air Canada (TSX:AC.B) in its labour dispute with the union representing its pilots. The fiveyear collective agreement will be effective until April 2016, and would, among other things, include provisions allowing the airline to create a budget carrier. Shares were up six cents, to $1.14. Canadian cheese and dairy giant Saputo (TSX:SAP) saw profits fall four per cent in the latest reported quarter, affected by lower cheese prices in the U.S. and an inventory writedown. The company posted earnings of $121.8 million, off from $126.6 million a year ago. Revenue came in at $1.7 billion, up nearly four per cent year over year. Shares of the company dropped $1.34 to $42.73. George Weston Ltd. (TSX:WN) says it expects fullyear 2012 results will be lower than last year, mainly due to costs at its Loblaw (TSX:L) grocery division. The bakery and grocery company said secondquarter profits dropped 15 per cent to $196 million, of which $137 million was attributable to common shareholders. Overall revenue increased 1.3 per cent to $7.6 billion. Its shares fell 59 cents to $59.25.

Docs from Gibney, Burns topline TIFF TORONTO — Profiles on former theatre mogul Garth Drabinsky, disgraced sprinter Ben Johnson and rapper Snoop Dogg are among the documentaries headed to the Toronto International Film Festival. Festival programmers announced the documentary slate as well as the Midnight Madness and TIFF Kids selections this morning, touting a diverse array from around the world. Non-fiction picks include Alex Gibney’s look at the Catholic Church in Mea Maxima Culpa: Silence in the House of God, Ken Burns’ examination of a wrongful conviction in The Central Park Five and Daniel Gordon’s study of Canadian runner Ben Johnson’s scandal-plagued 1988 Olympic win in 9.79. The Midnight Madness slate includes genre fare boasting star wattage from Abbie Cornish, Colin Farrell, Paul Giamatti, Selena Gomez, Woody Harrelson, Sam Rockwell, Eli Roth, Tom Waits and Christopher Walken. Meanwhile, kid-friendly flicks include the bigbudget animated Hotel Transylvania, about a lavish “five-stake” resort where monsters and their families can live it up without humans to bother them. The Toronto International Film Festival runs from Sept. 6 to 16.

Gervais to launch Web series Ricky Gervais wants to teach you English. The comedian announced Tuesday on his blog that he’s working on a Web series called Learn English with Ricky Gervais. It co-stars Gervais’ frequent collaborator and foil Karl Pilkington. Though Gervais didn’t describe the series, it can be expected to be more comedic than educational. The comedian said he had finished the pilot episode and that he would post it online for free. After that, he said he may charge a few dollars from viewers or seek sponsorship. Gervais said he hopes to subtitle the show in “as many languages as possible,” including a Klingon version.

Snoop Dogg becomes Snoop Lion, readies reggae CD NEW YORK — Snoop Dogg wants you to know that he’s tired of hip-hop, is Bob Marley reincarnated and is embracing reggae instead of the culture of guns he once rapped about. Also, he’s got a new name: Snoop Lion. The artist said at a news conference Monday in New York that he was “born again” during a visit to Jamaica in February and is ready to make music that his “kids and grandparents can listen to.” The former gangster rapper is releasing a reggae album called Reincarnated in the fall. He said that in Jamaica, he connected with Bob Marley’s spirit and is now “Bob Marley reincarnated.” Bob Marley’s son Rohan attended the conference and gave Snoop his blessing. “I feel like I’ve always been Rastafarian,” Snoop said of the spiritual Jamaican movement. While there, he said, he visited a temple, was renamed

Author Maeve Binchy poses for a photo on April 26, 2001. Binchy, one of Ireland’s most popular writers who sold more than 40 million books worldwide, has died in Dublin after a brief illness, according to Irish media reports Tuesday. She was 72. she said. The best advice, she added, comes from the Coronation Street, a British soap opera: “Oh, get over yourself.”

Snoop Lion and was also given the Ethiopian name Berhane, meaning “light of the world.” Snoop didn’t explain why he was switching from “Dogg” to “Lion,” but it’s likely a reference to the Lion of Judah, a religious symbol popular in Rastafarian and Ethiopian culture. Later, he played five songs for a small crowd, including one called No Guns Allowed. It features his daughter and includes the lyrics, “No guns allowed in here tonight, we’re going to have a free for all, no fights.” “It’s so tragic that people are doing stupid things with guns,” he said. Snoop, best known for hits like Gin and Juice and Drop It Like It’s Hot, is an avid supporter of marijuana rights and has been banned from entering Norway for two years after trying to enter the country with a small amount last month. He said that in Jamaica, where he stayed for 35 days, he grew closer to his wife, who saw his transition. He added that he’s excited to perform music that his family and children can listen to. “As a 40-year-old man . . . I’ve got to give them something,” he said. “That’s what you do when you’re wise.” Snoop Dogg said he’s not completely retiring from hip-hop but is “tired” of the genre because it is no longer challenging. “Reggae was calling . . . it’s a breath of fresh air,” he said. “Rap isn’t challenging; it’s not appealing.” The album was produced by Diplo and will feature Snoop singing. It will be released on Vice Records.

LONDON — Bestselling Irish author Maeve Binchy, one of Ireland’s most popular writers who sold more than 40 million books worldwide, has died in Dublin after a brief illness, Irish media and national leaders said. She was 72. She was best known for her depictions of human relationships and their crises, mainly in the small towns of Ireland but also in London. “We have lost a national treasure,” said Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny. The Irish Times, her former employer, told the AP it had spoken to Binchy’s family and said the acclaimed author had died in a Dublin hospital on Monday with her husband Gordon Snell by her side. “She was an outstanding novelist, short story writer and columnist, who engaged millions of people all around the world with her fluent and accessible style,” said Ireland’s president, Michael D. Higgins. “In recent years she showed great courage and thankfully never lost her self-deprecating humour, honesty and remarkable integrity as an artist and human being,” Higgins said. Binchy, author of Circle of Friends and Tara Road, wrote 16 novels, four collections of short stories, a play and a novella. Her work landed her on The New York Times’ bestseller list and in Oprah’s Book Club. In recent years she continued to write despite being slowed down by arthritis and a heart ailment. “I do realize that I am a popular writer who people buy to take on vacation. I’m an escapist kind of writer,” Binchy said in an interview with the BookReporter website. “I was just lucky I lived in this time of mass-market paperbacks,” she added. Describing her childhood in Dalkey in County Dublin, Binchy wrote on her official website that she was “full of enthusiasms, mad fantasies, desperate urges to be famous and anxious to be a saint. ” After graduating from University College Dublin, Binchy worked as a teacher before becoming a journalist, columnist and editor at the Irish Times, one of the country’s leading newspapers. She later moved to England, where

she became the newspaper’s London editor in the early 1970s. Her first novel, Light a Penny Candle, was published in 1982 — after being rejected by five publishers — and became a bestseller. That book led to an invitation to appear on a French TV program, “a terrifying serious program about books,” she recalled two years ago in an interview with Donald O’Donoghue of broadcaster RTE. “Suddenly they asked me, as only the French would, ‘Madame, what is your philosophy of life?’ What a cosmic question, but I had to answer, and answer quickly, because it was live. “So I said, in French, ‘I think that you’ve got to play the hand that you’re dealt and stop wishing for another hand.”’ Several of her works — including Circle of Friends and Tara Road — were turned into films. Tara Road, about Irish and American women who switch homes without having met, was chosen by U.S. TV talk show host Oprah Winfrey for her popular book club, bringing her many new readers. She had announced in her column in 2000 that Scarlet Feather would be her last novel, prompting more than 800 people to write in protest to The Irish Times. A new novel, Quentins, appeared in 2002. In the same year, she suffered a health crisis related to a heart condition, and doctors warned that it would restrict her activity. Her time in hospital waiting rooms, absorbing the conversations of patients, inspired another novel, Heart and Soul, in 2009. Binchy’s novel Minding Frankie was published in 2010, the same year she received a lifetime achievement honour from the Irish Book Awards. Her latest novel, A Week in Winter, is to be published later this year. In an interview two years ago, Binchy said she preferred to deal with issues which could be argued from either side. “I often wonder that if I had met Hitler, I reckon I might have found some streak of decency in him,” she told O’Donoghue. “I once tried to write a novel about revenge. It’s the only book I didn’t finish. I couldn’t get into the mind of the person who was plotting vengeance,”

Gluten problems vs. food fads MORE AMERICANS HAVE GLUTEN PROBLEMS THAN ONCE THOUGHT; BUT FOR OTHERS, IT’S JUST A FOOD FAD

ATLANTA — It sounds like an unfolding epidemic: A decade ago, virtually no one in the U.S. seemed to have a problem eating gluten in bread and other foods. Now, millions do. Gluten-free products are flying off grocery shelves, and restaurants are boasting of meals with no gluten. Celebrities on TV talk shows chat about the digestive discomfort they blame on the wheat protein they now shun. Some churches even offer gluten-free Communion wafers. “I don’t know whether there’s more people getting this or that more people are noticing” they have a problem, said the Rev. Richard Allen, pastor at Mamaroneck United Methodist Church, north of New York City. Or is it just another food fad? Faddishness is a big part of it. Americans will spend an estimated $7 billion this year on foods labeled gluten-free, according to the market research firm Mintel. But the best estimates are that more than half the consumers buying these products — perhaps way more than half — don’t have any clearcut reaction to gluten. They buy gluten-free because they think it will help them lose weight, or because they seem to feel better, or because they mistakenly believe they are sensitive to gluten. “We have a lot of self-diagnosing going on out there,” said Melissa Abbott, who tracks the glutenfree market for the Hartman Group, a Seattle-area market research organization. Fads aside, research suggests more people are truly getting sick from the gluten found in wheat, rye and barley, but the reasons aren’t clear. In the most serious cases, gluten triggers celiac disease. The condition causes abdominal pain, bloating and intermittent diarrhea. Those with the ailment don’t absorb nutrients well and can suffer weight loss, fatigue, rashes and other problems. It was once considered extremely rare in the U.S. But about 20 years ago, a few scientists began exploring why celiac disease was less common here than in Europe and other countries. They concluded that it wasn’t less common here; it was just underdiagnosed. More recently, a research team led by the Mayo Clinic’s Dr. Joseph Murray looked at blood samples taken from Americans in the 1950s and

Why eating healthy isn’t always enough to be healthy Everyone knows the people in their circles who are the healthiest — the ones who live an active lifestyle, eat a clean diet, do their cleanses and seem to have it all together. Many who are motivated to eat healthy are those who want to avoid illness and disease take a preventative approach, feel good and care for their bodies. But then why is it that some of these “health nuts” still get sick? Still get the worst of the worst of illnesses? Well, besides many other factors that could always be related to illness and disease, including environmental toxKRISTIN ins, hereditary or biological FRASER factors or just some that will forever be unknown, I wanted to touch on a subject many don’t ever seem to acknowledge — the anatomy of the spirit. In New York Times Best Selling book, Anatomy of the Spirit, Caroline Myss, Ph.D. delves into the workings of the spirit and how it affects our health. She relates a powerful message that “each of us is born with an inherent spiritual task, a sacred contract to learn to use our personal power responsibly, wisely, and lovingly”. She coaches people to use meditation — sitting in stillness to listen in on their intuitive guidance for their true direction in life. If not following this direction, one is considered to be neglecting the energy of the heart, or the “heart chakra” and she relates this to heart disease later in life. It’s a fascinating comparison when you truly think about it. Other comparisons include struggling with relationships. Caroline points out illnesses that she has seen in her clients including prostate or ovarian cancer, chronic pain in the lower back and hips, and arthritis as common health problems for those who have fears related to relationships, including that with money. This has nothing to do with food or toxins. In these cases, it doesn’t matter how much you exercise or eat right if there is underlying stress, fear, depression, or insecurities in your life. If your emotional and spiritual (or what I call your Happiness) self is not taken care of you could be setting yourself up for a not so healthy you in the future. Links between depression and a weakened immune system or having anger, or resentment will hinder the body from healing or even living in a state of wellbeing. It’s important to maintain a positive outlook in your life and deal with the underlying stresses on a regular basis. They are not something that just go away. Healing, de-stressing, and focusing on happiness in your life are on-going tasks. The reality of the “basic vibratory essence of life” has been confirmed by Quantum Physicists, and the stories of illness or disease allowing someone to redirect their life’s purpose have been increasing. Perhaps then it is possible that various sicknesses, illnesses, or diseases could be looked at as indicators that something is out of balance in the spirit, as Caroline points out. Maybe it’s time to ask yourself some self-examination questions as Caroline lays out in her book. The biggest one is identifying what it is you truly want out of your life. It could just be the most important question you’ve asked yourself. Kristin Fraser, BSc, is a registered holistic nutritionist and local freelance writer. Her column appears every second Wednesday.

SOMETHING TO CHEW ON

compared them with samples taken from people today, and determined it wasn’t just better diagnosis driving up the numbers. Celiac disease actually was increasing. Indeed, the research confirms estimates that about 1 per cent of U.S. adults have it today, making it four times more common now than it was 50 years ago, Murray and his colleagues reported Tuesday in the American Journal of Gastroenterology. That translates to nearly 2 million Americans with celiac disease. erent from an allergy to wheat, which affects a much smaller number of people, mostly children who outgrow it. Scientists suggest that there may be more celiac disease today because people eat more processed wheat products like pastas and baked goods than in decades past, and those items use types of wheat that have a higher gluten content. Gluten helps dough rise and gives baked goods structure and texture. Or it could be due to changes made to wheat, Murray said. In the 1950s, scientists began cross-breeding wheat to make hardier, shorter and better-growing

plants. It was the basis of the Green Revolution that boosted wheat harvests worldwide. Norman Borlaug, the U.S. plant scientist behind many of the innovations, won the Nobel Peace Prize for his work. But the gluten in wheat may have somehow become even more troublesome for many people, Murray said. That also may have contributed to what is now called “gluten sensitivity.” Doctors recently developed a definition for gluten sensitivity, but it’s an ambiguous one. It’s a label for people who suffer bloating and other celiac symptoms and seem to be helped by avoiding gluten, but don’t actually have celiac disease. Celiac disease is diagnosed with blood testing, genetic testing, or biopsies of the small intestine. The case for gluten sensitivity was bolstered last year by a very small but often-cited Australian study. Volunteers who had symptoms were put on a glutenfree diet or a regular diet for six weeks, and they weren’t told which one. Those who didn’t eat gluten had fewer problems with bloating, tiredness and irregular bowel movements.

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — Someone has vandalized Argentina’s war cemetery in the Falkland Islands, repeatedly smashing and shattering the glass that protects the country’s sacred Virgin. Police are seeking suspects, and the islands’ government condemned the crime on Tuesday. “Clearly we condemn any action of this sort and very much regret that this might have happened. Anyone who knows anything about the cause of the damage should contact the police,” Dick Sawle, a member of the islands’ legislative assembly, said in a statement. Families of the Argentine war dead blamed British hostility for what they called an “act of sacrilege” and sent letters to Argentine Foreign Min-

NEW YORK — A New York City antiques dealer pleaded guilty on Tuesday to charges he double-crossed wildlife protection authorities by first offering to help fight illegal sales of rhinoceros horns, then buying some himself. David Hausman admitted in federal court in Manhattan that he knew at the time he was breaking laws intended to protect endangered black rhinos. “I failed society, my family, my friends ... and the conservation and animal rights community,” Hausman told the judge. “I blame no one but myself.” The case stems from an ongoing crackdown on a black market in rhino horns led by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. Persistent demand for rhino horn carvings — considered good luck charms or health enhancers in some cultures — has devastated the world’s rhino population, authorities say. Hausman “pretended he was helping law enforcement protect a species from being wiped out, but instead was contributing to the very problem,” U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said in a statement on Tuesday. The 67-year-old Hausman, while purporting to be a legitimate tipster, alerted authorities in 2010 to an illegal rhino horn sale in Pennsylvania, court papers said. When the sale fell through, he recruited a straw buyer in early 2011 to secretly purchase the horns himself, the papers said. He then sought to cover his tracks by making fake horns to replace real ones removed from a mounted rhino head, the papers added. Other charges stemmed from a sting last year in which an undercover agent offered to sell Hausman another mounted rhino head. The defendant admitted buying the horns even though the agent told him the head was only 20 to 30 years old, and knowing that it needed to be over 100 years old to be legally sold.

MEXICO CITY — Mexican prosecutors formally lodged drug charges Tuesday against four high-ranking army officers, including three generals and a lieutenant colonel. They are the highest-ranking Mexican army officials arrested in at least 15 years, and allegedly provided protection for the Beltran-Leyva drug cartel. They were detained in May and have been held under a form of house arrest. The Attorney General’s Office said charges of “organized crime to further drug trafficking” were lodged against retired generals Tomas Angeles Dauahare and Ricardo Escorcia, as well as active service Gen. Roberto Dawe Gonzalez. Retired Lt. Col. Silvio Hernandez Soto faces the same charge. The office did not mention specifics of the case lodged against the four along with an army major. But charged in the same case is U.S.-born drug trafficker Edgar Valdes Villarreal, alias “La Barbie,” who worked for the Beltran Leyva cartel until it began to break up with the death of leader Arturo Beltran Leyva in a 2009 shootout with marines. The investigation against them the officers is based on a case from 2009, the Attorney General’s Office said. The previous highest-ranking army official arrested was Gen. Jesus Gutierrez Rebollo, then head of Mexico’s anti-drug agency, who was was arrested in 1997 and later convicted of aiding deceased drug lord Amado Carrillo Fuentes.

ister Hector Timerman and Britain’s ambassador in Buenos Aires, John Freeman, demanding an urgent and exhaustive investigation. “We believe that reflects escalating hostility by certain British sectors who are influential locally,” their commission said in a statement. “We will not let up until this repugnant act of sacrilege is clarified.” The Argentine government also condemned the vandalism, demanding that the British government mount an impartial investigation that identifies and punishes those responsible. The statement made mention of the Falkland Islands Government, which Argentina doesn’t recognize, and blamed Britain for provoking the “barbaric act” with its “hostile attitudes.”

Romney ends bumpy overseas tour BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WARSAW, Poland — Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney said Tuesday that Poland’s economy is a model of small government and free enterprise that other nations should emulate, an unspoken criticism of President Barack Obama’s policies in the wake of the worst recession in decades. The former Massachusetts governor was ending a gaffe-prone foreign tour that he had hoped would show his diplomatic talents and readiness as a leader as he fights to deny Obama a second White House term in November. Instead, he drew massive attention for insulting Britain over its preparation for the London Olympics and angered Palestinians during his visit to Israel. In the trip’s final day, the strain was showing. Romney’s travelling press secretary Rick Gorka said, “Shove it” when asked why Romney had taken just three questions from American reporters. He later called journalists to apologize. Romney had ignored shouted questions from reporters about his comments attributing Israel’s strong economy to Jewish culture, with no mention of Israel’s harsh restrictions on the Palestinians. Palestinian officials accused Romney of racism. His comments also drew criticism from China, which Romney has been highly critical of during his campaign. The country’s state-run Xinhua News

Agency said Romney’s “hawkish remarks” could worsen an already tense Mideast situation. On Tuesday, Romney told Fox News that he was not specifically talking about Palestinian culture. He downplayed his perceived missteps and blamed the media, saying reporters are more interested in “finding something to write” than in reporting on the economy and national security threats. While foreign affairs dominated Romney’s tour, the presidential race hinges on which candidate voters think will best spur growth in the struggling U.S. economy. The election is expected to be decided by one of the narrowest margins in recent history. Romney told a Warsaw audience not to heed “the false promise of a government-dominated economy.” That theme has dominated his campaign message in the United States, where he says Obama is determined to expand government involvement in the U.S. economy. While holding Poland up as an economic example, Romney did not mention that the country’s unemployment is at 12.4 per cent. That is roughly half again as high as the 8.2 per cent rate in the United States. He also didn’t mention that the country has a system of mandatory health insurance, which Republicans oppose for the U.S. Romney’s two-day trip to Poland was aimed at Polish-American and Catholic voters in the U.S. and highlighted Romney’s stance toward Russia. He has

labeled Moscow as America’s “No. 1 geopolitical foe,” a characterization that is not unwelcome in a country that still fears Russia. Poles generally have been skeptical of Obama’s “reset” of U.S.-Russian relations, and some in Poland were upset by the Obama administration’s decision to revise the Bush-era missile defence plan for Europe. The original plan included installations in both countries. The deeply Roman Catholic country for years has favoured Republicans over Democrats. That is partly a legacy of President Ronald Reagan, whose efforts helped bring down communism across Eastern Europe, for which Poles remain grateful. Poland has been a solid U.S. ally and significant contributor to military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. “Poland has excellent ties with the United States, regardless of which American party is in power,” Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski told Romney on Tuesday. “We remember Ronald Reagan’s warm feelings for Poland’s Solidarity and also the fact that we joined (NATO) during Bill Clinton’s term.” Campaign officials said Romney’s visit was at the invitation of Lech Walesa, the Polish labour leader who co-founded the Solidarity movement and served as president during the country’s transition out of communism.

NEW DELHI — Electric crematoria were snuffed out with bodies inside, New Delhi’s Metro shut down and hundreds of coal miners were trapped underground after three Indian electric grids collapsed in a cascade Tuesday, cutting power to 620 million people in the world’s biggest blackout. While Indians were furious and embarrassed, many took the crisis in stride, inured by the constant — though far less widespread — outages triggered by the huge electricity deficit stymieing the development of this would-be Asian power. Hospitals, factories and the airports switched automatically to their diesel generators during the hours-long cut across half of India. Many homes relied on backup systems powered by truck batteries. And hundreds of millions of India’s poorest had no electricity to lose. “The blackout might have been huge, but it wasn’t unbearably long,” said Satish, the owner of a coffee and juice shop in central Delhi who uses only one name. “It was just as bad as any other five-hour power cut. We just used a generator while the light was out, and it was work as usual.” The crisis was the second record-breaking outage in two days. India’s northern grid failed Monday, leaving 370 million people powerless for much of the day, in a collapse blamed on states that drew more than their allotment of power. At 1:05 p.m. Tuesday, the northern grid collapsed again, energy officials said. This time, it took the eastern grid and the northeastern grid with it. In all, 20 of India’s 28 states — with double the population of the United States — were hit in a region stretching from the border with Myanmar in the northeast to the Pakistani border about 3,000 kilometres (1,870 miles) away. Hundreds of trains stalled across the country and traffic lights went out, causing widespread jams in New Delhi. West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee asked office workers to go home and rushed generators to coal mines to rescue trapped miners. Sahiba Narang, 17, was taking the Metro home because school bus drivers were on strike, “but this power failure’s messed up everything.” S.K. Jain said he was on his way to file his income tax return when the Metro closed. The 54-year-old held his head, distraught that he would almost certainly miss the deadline. Hours later, the government announced it was giving taxpayers an extra month to file because of the chaos. By evening, power had been restored to New Delhi and the remote northeast, and much of the northern and eastern grids were back on line. Electricity officials said the system would not be back to 100 per cent until Wednesday. Power Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde said the new crisis had the same root as Monday’s collapse. “Everyone overdraws from the grid. Just this morning I held a meeting with power officials from the states and I gave directions that states that overdraw should be punished. We have given instructions that their power supply could be cut,” he said. But others were skeptical of Shinde’s explanation, saying that if overdrawing power from the grid caused this kind of collapse, it would happen all the time. “I just can’t believe that there is no system in place to check whether the states are drawing more than their limit or not,” said Samiran Chakraborty, head of research at Standard Chartered, a financial services company. “There has to be a much more technical answer to that question.” At a contentious news conference, R.N. Nayak, chairman of Power Grid Corp., which runs the nation’s power system, said his staff was searching for the cause of the problem and pleaded for patience. “We have been running this grid for decades. ... Please trust us,” he said. The blackouts came amid consumer anger with the recent increase in power fees, including a 26 per cent hike in Delhi, that government officials said were needed to pay for the steep rise in fuel costs. The Confederation of Indian Industry said the two outages cost business hundreds of millions of dollars, though they did not affect the financial centre of Mumbai and the global outsourcing powerhouses of Bangalore and Hyderabad in the south. Like many, the group demanded a widespread reform of India’s power sector, which has been unable to keep up with the soaring demand for electricity as the economy expanded and Indians grew more affluent and energy hungry. “India has outgrown its own infrastructure,” said Jagannadham Thunuguntla, a strategist at SMC Global Securities. India’s Central Electricity Authority reported power deficits of more than 8 per cent in recent months, and many economists said the power deficit is dragging down India’s economy.
