Canada’s women’s eight rowing team members celebrate their silver medal finish at Eton Dorney during the 2012 Summer Olympics in Dorney, England on Thursday.

Seven Games, medals in five — and in a class of her own COXSWAIN LESLEY THOMPSON-WILLIE EARNS SILVER ON CANADA’S WOMEN’S EIGHTS TEAM match the gold she took home from Barcelona in 1992, it put her in a class of her own as the only Canadian athlete to win a medal in five different Olympics. “Every crew is special but this one, they worked so hard,” said ThompsonWillie, who serves as coxswain on the team. “We went to win and didn’t do it, but sure are enjoying the silver. No regrets, great race,” she added. The result gave Canada a medal for the third consecutive day at the Games,

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS LONDON — Lesley Thompson-Willie has seen it all during an Olympic career that spans three decades. Cold War politics denied her a chance to compete in the 1980 Moscow Olympics, but since then the 52-yearold rower has represented Canada in seven Games, winning medals of every colour along the way. And while the silver medal she won Thursday at the London Games as part of the women’s eight crew doesn’t

and a second rowing silver. The men’s eight finished second in its final on Wednesday. Canada sits 11th in the overall medal standings with seven (two silver, five bronze) but is still waiting for its first gold. That wait could end in the next couple of days when some of Canada’s top medal hopefuls — shot putter Dylan Armstrong and the trampoline team — open their competitions. Other top contenders, like cyclists Tara Whitten and Catharine Pendrel, don’t compete until next week.

A November to wish for BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF Snow cones were the deal maker. Trey Cooper contemplated rubbing elbows with BMX superstar Brett Banasiewicz or a trip to Disney World. But in the end it was the promise of making snow cones all day with his younger sister, Portia, nine, that sealed the deal. In November, Cooper, 13, and his family will spend a week at Disney’s Hawaii Aulani Resort courtesy of the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Northern Alberta Canada. Cooper was one of four Red Deer and area youth who were granted wishes this year. The Make-A-Wish Foundation grants wishes for children with life-threatening medical conditions. When making his wish, the teenager told his father, “If there’s snow cones, I’m in.” Mother Connie Cooper said her son was at his sickest last November and now the month of November will take on new meaning for the family. “It’s just so cool that it is November when we are going,” said Connie Cooper. “This is a whole new memory for November.”

PLEASE RECYCLE

Canadian athletes have been stronger out of the gate in London than they were four years ago in Beijing when nobody won a medal of any colour until Day 8. The Canadian eight went into Thursday’s final knowing gold was a tall order against a mighty American crew that hadn’t lost in six years. And they were once again bested by their rivals, with the U.S. winning in six minutes 10.59 seconds.

The second youngest community in Canada, the Town of Penhold, continues to grow. Penhold, about 16 km south of Red Deer, has just released its most recent census. It shows that the population grew by 101 people in one year, to 2,476 people, up from 2,375 in 2011. Much like the Town of Blackfalds, Red Deer’s neighbour to the north, Penhold’s census shows a growing young community. The largest age group, making up 18.1 per cent of the whole population or 447 people, is between the ages of 25 and 34. There are only 308 people living in the town who are over the age of 55.

Lost wallet returned to local tree planter BY JESSICA JONES ADVOCATE STAFF The mystery of a lost wallet belonging to a Red Deer man has been solved and it has been returned to the rightful owner. Pete Priestman, 55, from Williams Lake, B.C., was camping in the back country east of Cotton Wood House on the Barkerville Hwy in the North Caribou, B.C., region last week, when he stumbled across a wallet belonging to Neil Hamilton, 33, of Red Deer. Priestman felt a certain kinship with Hamilton as the two men just so happened to share the same birthday. “I have only met one other person in my whole life that had the same birthday as me,” Priestman said. Priestman tried to contact Hamilton through his identification, but to no avail.

But as a last resort, before turning it over to the police, Priestman sifted through the wallet once more. It contained credit cards, a Social Insurance Card, current driver’s licence and an old licence from Ontario. The Ontario licence struck out and triggered an idea that Priestman hadn’t tried. “After I spoke to the paper and looked through the wallet, I came across an Ontario driver’s licence of when he (Hamilton) was a teenager and got to thinking. Maybe that was his hometown and through directory assistance I got the phone number of his mother. “I contacted her and she consequently phoned him and so in a very roundabout way we found each other,” Priestman said. Hamilton, who had just finished a tree planting contract near Chetwynd, B.C., a community north of Prince George, just so happened to be travelling

through Williams Lake. The two men arranged a time to meet at Tim Hortons on Wednesday. “It is a good ending to the whole thing,” Priestman said. “He was quite thrilled, it was the wallet he had since he was a teenager. It’s not much usable anymore but at least he got it back and he was overjoyed, just bubbling.” The two men had a quick conversation about their birthdays and a couple of laughs before Hamilton hit the road for more tree planting work. It turns out Hamilton lost his wallet in May. He went back to look for it and spent almost a day on the trails before giving up the search. Priestman was adamant about the returning the wallet to the rightful owner as there was everything in it to assume an identity. Hamilton was unavailable for comment. jjones@reddeeradvocate.com

STORIES FROM PAGE A1

WISH: Finished four rounds of chemotherapy He finished his four rounds of chemotherapy in November and has checkups every three months. Young ship builder Chance Coulic, eight, will also have his wish fulfilled of walking the deck on a Disney dream cruise. His parents Shannon and Bill Coulic are thrilled to have their son be a kid again and not have to worry about his disease. She said it is difficult to put in words what this opportunity from the Make-A-Wish Foundation means to these children and their families. “It’s such an unbelievably wonderful experience for these kids,” said Coulic. “For that as a family we will always be thankful and for Chance to never forget and cherish.” Chance was diagnosed with high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia in June 2011. Chance is in the maintenance stage of his cancer treatments where he only has to go for treatment at the Alberta Children’s Hospital in Calgary once a month and takes oral chemotherapy at home. “But he’s doing much better,” said Shannon, noting they were waiting for the go-ahead from the doctors to allow them to take the trip. They received the all-clear last month. Shannon said her son loves ships so it was not surprising that he chose a cruise ship as this once in a lifetime wish. “I just can’t wait to see his face,” said Shannon. “It’s a dream for him. He doesn’t even care where it’s going. He just wants to be on that ship.” The ship-loving eight-year-old will enter Grade 3 at Annie L. Gaetz Elementary School next month. Trey is homeschooled and will go into Grade 8. Two other youngsters from Red Deer and surrounding area will have their wishes granted in the next few months. crhyno@reddeeradvocate.com

PENHOLD: Data showed town had 989 dwellings “And the numbers are quite conservative because we had a lot of people who didn’t wish to give information for the count,” Town of Penhold chief administrative officer Rick Binnendyk said. The data, collected at the beginning of June, also showed that the town has about 989 dwellings from a combination of single family homes, duplexes, row houses, mobile homes and apartments. Binnendyk said it becomes increasingly important to collect the data because a larger population means more provincial grant dollars. It also helps determine what type of services and business should be in Penhold. “It is pretty evident that we are seeing a major shift in the demographics in the community and of course you have to start thinking about service delivery,” Binnendyk said. The Town of Penhold’s community service department is reviewing the 2012 municipal census and will take it into account during budget preparations this fall. Binnendyk said people are choosing to live in communities like Penhold and Blackfalds because

That town’s population officially stands at 6,767 — up from 6,399 in 2011. jjones@reddeeradvocate.com

SILVER: All heart Canada, which came within 0.03 seconds of the U.S. at a World Cup event earlier this year, didn’t put as much of a scare into the Americans this time, finishing in 6:12.06 despite a late charge. Still, by putting in a gruelling effort into the last 500 metres the Canadian crew ensured they would finish well ahead of the third-place Netherlands (6:13.12) and their beloved coxswain would get her unprecedented fifth medal. “The bond that we share together is something really special that I’ll always cherish,” said crew member Andreanne Morin, choking up as she spoke. “I thought going out in this race today I was like ’This is her last one. She’s been at this for 35 years. I’m going to do it for her.’ And I gave it my all. “That last 500 was all heart and it was for Lesley.” Now Thompson-Willie returns to her day job, which she loves. She is a high school teacher and a librarian in London, Ont. “Back to school in September,” she said. “I like my school and I like my homework.”

The performance put the women’s eight team back on the Olympic map after missing the podium in the last two Games. It also made up for a disappointing start to the day for Canada’s rowers. Victoria natives Lindsay Jennerich and Patricia Obee, world silver medallists last year, didn’t advance to the women’s lightweight double sculls final after a fourth-place finish in the semis. “A tough one to swallow,” said Jennerich. “It takes a little while to set in. ... I said to Obee, this might capture it well, it’s like ’There’s seven minutes of your life that suddenly take you out of a shot at an Olympic medal.”’ Canadian rowers won a gold, a silver and two bronze in Beijing. With only the men’s pair of Dave Calder and Scott Frandsen still in the medal hunt, Canada will not be able to match that overall performance. In badminton, Alex Bruce and Michelle Li will play for the bronze medal after losing their semifinal 21-12, 19-21, 21-13 to Japan’s Mizuki Fujii and Reika Kakiwa. The Toronto duo will face Russians Valeria Sorokina and Nina Vislova for third-place Saturday at Wembley Arena. Bruce and Li found themselves in the semifinals after eight players were expelled from the competition for losing on purpose. Canada failed to pick up any more medals in the pool, with Toronto’s Martha McCabe finishing fifth in the women’s 200-metre breaststroke. McCabe finished in 2:23:16 — better than her time when she won the bronze at the world championships last year. Meanwhile Brent Hayden of Mission, B.C., finished seventh in his men’s 50-metre freestyle semifinal and failed to qualify for the final. Hayden has Canada’s only swimming hardware so far in London, winning bronze in the 100 on Wednesday for his first Olympic medal.

Sundre rising to the recruitment challenge COMMUNITY GROUP SHOWCASING TOWN TO HEALTH-CARE PROFESSIONALS BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF Doctors are setting up office in rural Central Alberta thanks in part to a new community group in Sundre. In September 2011, the Sundre’s Health Professionals Attraction Committee was formed to showcase the rural town in hopes of attracting health-care professionals. The town has eight doctors and a few are at the age where they will be looking at retiring or semiretiring in the next year or so. “We saw the writing on the wall,” said Dr. Hal Irvine, co-chairman of the committee. “We needed to be recruiting more physicians. There would be a chance we could be caught in a real crisis with physician manpower issues in town.” The committee is made up of community members, the Sundre Chamber of Commerce members,

Transportation Safety Board rules out investigation of Rocky plane crash A full investigation into a plane crash that killed a Rocky Mountain House man last month will not be undertaken. The Transportation Safety Board, an agency that conducts independent investigations, has determined that a full investigation was not needed following the crash that killed pilot Mark Chevallier, 36, on July 12. The well-known single father was taking part in an aerobatic training exercise at the Rocky Mountain House Airport a few kilometres northeast of the town, when his Pits S1S prop plane crashed into a wooded area. Transportation Safety Board media relations manager John Cottreau says the agency conducts full investigations when it thinks it could make the entire system safer. “In this case, it was judged that we were not going to be able to do that,” he said. “The investigator, regional manager and our director of investigations decided not to go further with the investigation.” The agency would not comment on the cause or contributing factors of the crash but Cottreau says they have done an assessment, put information in their statistical database and have a “good idea” about what happened. Chevallier, father of a five-year-old boy, worked at Chevallier Geo-Con Ltd., a company that equips GPS systems in heavy equipment used in the oilfield, agriculture and forest industries. He was heavily involved in COPA For Kids — an aviation program that provides a flying experience for kids free of charge. He was also on the executive board for the Rocky Mountain House Airshow.

Minister promises to review Alberta health boss expenses EDMONTON — Alberta Health Minister Fred Horne is promising to get to the bottom of how a senior official was allowed to rack up hundreds of thousands of dollars in expenses for everything from fancy meals to car repairs.

doctors, other health-care professionals and Alberta Health Services. There are similar committees throughout rural Alberta that work with the Alberta Rural Physician Action Plan and Alberta Health Services. Since the group formed last year, they have hosted three site visits for interested physicians and hired two doctors –– one from Medicine Hat and another from England. But Irvine said there is a need for at least four more doctors in the next year to work at the Sundre Hospital and Care Centre and the Sundre Medical Clinic. Three site visits are scheduled this month from interested doctors. Currently, there are 147 general practitioners vacancies in rural Alberta and 48 general practitioner vacancies in rural Central Alberta. “The biggest challenge is making sure their spouse and their families will be happy in a rural setting,” said Irvine. “As far as the work side of things and medical side of things, I think rural prac-

tice is challenging. It’s rewarding.” Sundre also has an informal mentoring program to help new doctors get used to the setting. The committee is also seeking support from the Town of Sundre and the Mount View County to fund a $18,000 housing incentive for each new recruited physician in Sundre. The county has not committed to the funding but they said it is willing to start the conversation. The committee will meet with Sundre town council later this month. “Other communities have various incentives and there’s just so many places that are competing for new doctors that we felt that it would be helpful for us if we had some financial incentive as well besides our good charm and lovely location,” said Irvine. The committee is also looking for options for a new multi-disciplinary medical facility in Sundre. crhyno@reddeeradvocate.com of smoke inhalation.

chief financial officer of Alberta Health Services knew anything either. Merali claimed thousands of dollars in similar expenses when he was a health consultant in Ontario. Horne says the revelations are likely to shake the confidence Albertans have in the management of health care in the province.

‘Walk-aways raise concerns about care of dementia patients CALGARY — Alberta’s Liberals are calling for a public inquiry into the care of dementia patients after three seniors walked away from a Calgary hospital. Calgary Liberal MLA David Swann says the recent disappearances from Rockyview Hospital show a lack of proper long-term care for dementia patients in Alberta. He says a public inquiry is the only way to find solutions to the problem. Alberta N-D-P Leader Brian Mason says a staffing shortage is to blame and the government must address the situation immediately. Alberta Health Services says steps are being taken to ensure patients simply can’t walk away from hospitals and care centres. Two men who walked away from Rockyview this week turned up safe, but a 68-year-old man who disappeared last month was found dead in Calgary’s Glenmore Reservoir.

Moving day mishap blamed for fatal fire at Edmonton seniors residence EDMONTON — Investigators have determined that a fatal fire at a Edmonton seniors residence started when a stove element accidentally turned on and ignited a cardboard box. A woman in her 70s was killed and 98 people were forced from their suites when the fire broke out Tuesday afternoon at Canora Gardens. Ten people were taken to hospital for treatment

Pine beetles down in some areas, still a problem in others EDMONTON — There’s some promising news in the ongoing fight against the spread of the destructive mountain pine beetle in Alberta’s forests. The latest survey shows a large number of the bugs didn’t survive the winter in the northwest and Slave Lake areas, which will curtail their spread eastward this summer. But Alberta Environment warns the war against the tiny insects, which have killed or infested more than one million pine trees, is far from over. There are still large numbers north of Peace River and near the west-central communities of Edson and Whitecourt. Experts say a large number of the bugs died over the winter because of fluctuating temperatures that make them susceptible to sudden cold snaps.

Rocky family homeless after fire A Rocky Mountain House family of five has been displaced from their home after it caught fire on Wednesday evening. Clearwater Regional Fire Rescue Services deputy fire chief Paul Prevost said they were called to a home on 58th Street just after 10:20 p.m. He said the family made it out of the home and suffered no injuries. The fire caused upwards of $100,000 in damage to the roof, attic and front of the home, Prevost said. It originated from outside of the home. Crews had the fire under control fairly quickly and managed to save a majority of the single-family dwelling. The Canadian Red Cross responded to the needs of the family. The organization provided clothing, including jackets and shoes for the children, food, hygiene kits, teddy bears, blankets and accommodations. Rocky Mountain House and area firefighters have been busy lately, responding to two fires last week, one of which has been deemed suspicious.

Irrational fears allow disease to rise Harper Whitehead’s life ended shortly after it began, and her aunt Dani believes her niece didn’t have to die at all. The one-month-old Alberta baby died in June at a children’s hospital in Calgary from complications caused by pertussis, the formal name of whooping cough, a highly contagious bacterial disease that is causing rising concern across North America in the largest outbreak in 50 years. The death is the first in Canada in this outbreak. Across southwestern Ontario, in British Columbia, Alberta and New Brunswick there have been about 1,800 reported cases his year, a tenth the number in the U.S., which has seen nine deaths. In our Waterloo Region, 16 cases have been confirmed since the start of

OTHERVOICES the year, but there may be 10 more that could be added to the tally. In contrast, there were only six last year, although this is an ailment that’s cyclical and peaks and falls over the course of a decade. In 2006, for example, there were 45 cases in the region, and 25 the year after that. Across southwestern Ontario, in British Columbia, Alberta and New Brunswick there have been about 1,800 reported cases his year, a tenth the number in the U.S., which has seen nine deaths. All of this should rightly alarm us, but it should also spur adults — especially parents of infants and newborns — into taking action, specifically in

making sure that they and their children are properly immunized. And a little soul-searching is also in order. It’s a sad commentary that vaccination has become a controversial subject, as the move toward the eradication or near eradication of deadly diseases through vaccines continues apace. Some adults refuse to have themselves and their children immunized out of a mistaken belief that there’s a link between vaccination and autism. Others shun getting such things as flu shots because of unwarranted suspicions of Big Pharma — the major pharmaceutical companies. But in doing so, they can place not only themselves but other family members and co-workers at risk.

It’s concerning that there is a growing number of infants and toddlers in Ontario who have not received all of their recommended vaccinations. But adults are missing out as well. All too aware of the shots they’re required to take if they’re travelling to an exotic locale, many adults are unaware that a booster shot to counter whooping cough is recommended for them as well — and in particular parents of young children as well as daycare providers. We have a larger role to play than we think in public health. And it can be a matter of life and death. Don’t let irrational fears of vaccination stand in the way of the greater public good. From the Waterloo Record

Location is a natural resource; therefore, natives own share of pipeline DOES CHRISTY CLARK — WHO OPPOSED GROWTH OF NATIVE RIGHTS — APPRECIATE THE IRONY? BY BRIAN LEE CROWLEY AND KEN COATES SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE B.C. Premier Christy Clark has inadvertently given the Aboriginal demand for a greater share of natural resource revenues a boost. The B.C. leader launched a sharp critique of Alberta’s oil sands and pipeline strategy, insisting that the coastal province deserves a much greater share of the revenue than is currently planned. But her argument rests on a central tenet of Aboriginal claims. B.C., says Clark, will get a small portion of the total tax revenue derived from the pipeline. The province will also get a comparatively small number of short-term construction jobs. Yet B.C. will shoulder the lion’s share of the risk of a pipeline leak or a tanker spill off the province’s spectacular coastline. In sum, she asserts, it is a bad deal for British Columbia. Clark’s position builds implicitly on a little-noticed observation from Mr Justice Thomas Berger’s famous 1970s Mackenzie Valley Pipeline Inquiry final report: location is a natural resource. The Northern Gateway project highlights this simple and powerful fact. Alberta has the oil. Tankers will line up at Kitimat to take that oil to Asia. But no pipeline across B.C., and no oil terminal, no tankers, and no deal. This argument — inhabitants of lands surrounding or affected by a resource project should have a major say in the decision to develop and should derive substantial benefit from the resource activity — is central to First Nations claims across the country. Even if the actual development site is on Crown or private land, nearby Indigenous communities too often bear the brunt of the economic, social and ecological dislocations. When Aboriginal people assert their right, through judicially-imposed “duty to consult” requirements, to be involved with decision-making, to secure jobs and business opportunities, and to receive a fair and reasonable financial return from the project, they are both capitalizing on their legal and constitutional rights and asserting the pivotal truth that location is a natural resource. History may not repeat itself, as a wise man once said, but it does rhyme. Does Premier Clark appreciate the irony that B.C. was long at the forefront of opposition to Aboriginal treaty and land rights until former Premier Gordon Campbell’s dramatic conversion? The province now finds itself, perhaps unwittingly, aligned with a long-standing Aboriginal position on natural resource development. Canada is on the brink of a globally significant resource boom, connected to our almost unique combination of bountiful natural wealth and political and legal institutions that are the envy of the world. In

LETTERS One line for safety of all On July 30, the Red Deer Advocate had a letter from woman whose husband was knocked down by a cyclist because he moved left and his friends moved right to let the cyclist go by. I have attended several meetings in Sylvan Lake, and every time suggested a safety item concerning walking trails used by both cyclists and walkers and joggers. Now we have new walking trails along the beach and I fear for an accident between walkers and cyclists. My friend, in Abbotsford, was knocked down by a policeman on a cycle pursuing a robber and my friend could never golf again, so I have first-hand knowledge of accidents.

many resource-rich nations, companies contend with dictators, terrorists, intense poverty, threats of nationalization, and uncertain property rights. In Canada, in contrast, they undergo sensible environmental review while enjoying the rule of the law, protection of private property and a reasoned tax regime. One major cloud hangs over this otherwise attractive picture - unresolved Aboriginal rights and claims over resource-bearing land. As the recent Assembly of First Nations National Chief election demonstrated yet again, there is great Indigenous anger and unease about the pace and intensity of resource development in Canada. While many First Nations communities have found common ground with resource developers, others remain unconvinced about the benefits to their people from the exploitation of the wealth of traditional lands. Premier Clark’s position on the Northern Gateway - so far disdainfully dismissed by Alberta Premier Alison Redford - should therefore sound strikingly familiar. The B.C. Premier is asking for much the same things Aboriginal leaders want: the ability to influence proposed projects and to receive appropriate benefits from them. Perhaps Premier Clark today has a touch more empathy for First Nations leaders and communities determined to find a place for themselves in the resource economy.

The Clark-Redford contretemps, focusing on one of the largest projects under development in Canada, highlights the need for a new approach to our resource wealth. The nation’s economic future likely hangs on the ability of national, provincial, territorial, Aboriginal and business leaders to chart a shared course that provides appropriate opportunities to participate in all aspects of development. This will require us all to look past the ownership of natural resources assigned to the provinces under the Constitution. That can only be the starting point of a much larger discussion, not the final word. Global demand for resources, when coupled with a strong, sustainable and widely accepted framework for engagement and shared wealth creation, provides an unprecedented opening for Canada. Premier Clark’s sharp critique and demands, by echoing positions long-held by Aboriginal leaders, shows how important a rapprochement on resource development, job creation and revenue sharing is for this country.

In Vancouver, along the beaches, they have a line along pathways that are shared by wheels and feet. One side of the line has pictures of skateboards, rollerboards and cyclist, showing clearly which side people should walk and which side are for people with wheels. The letter in the paper stated that the cyclist proceeded to lecture the fallen man about the rules. This all can be prevented by a single line along a pathway! Please do something so everyone can feel safer walking or on wheels. Vernie Munroe Sylvan Lake

She had a blanket for warmth and went to sleep. If you had free parking as suggested, you couldn’t park within 100 yards of the hospital and should an emergency situation be your lot, you’d find no place to park long enough to deliver your patient. I paid $10 at Emergency before I went home and all I can say is thanks for the parking stall. I was glad to pay. So to you who set the parking rates at the hospital, if you find that you have no stalls available, increase the rate so they are not used just for visiting, but that there may be stalls available to those with specials needs. And we’ll be happy to be able to park so close. Keep up the good work, Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre. Albert Fuchs Red Deer

the federal government. It recommends a committee of provincial and federal ministers, as well as First Nations leaders and NGOs, begin work immediately. The report said the Harper government has already addressed concerns about regulatory reform when it announced a major overhaul of environmental assessment rules for big projects. Ottawa will defer to provincial reviews that meet national standards, and reviews would be limited to 12 months for standard assessments, rising to a maximum of two years. “The time for discussion is over. We need to continue alignments, we need to continue working with groups, we need to continue developing thinking but it is now time for action,” said Black. “Energy will continue to be the primary economic driver for Canada. Without it, Canada will be hard pressed to prosper.”

CALGARY — A report by the Calgary-based Energy Policy Institute of Canada recommends work begin immediately on a national energy strategy, with or without the initial support of B.C. “We are continuing our work, the other premiers are considering their work and we’re saying to British Columbia when you’re ready to join our deliberations we welcome you,” said Doug Black, president of the institute, at a Calgary news conference Thursday. “Certainly British Columbia is very, very important. I acknowledge this is a political problem but our work cannot stop.” B.C. Premier Christy Clark refused last week to join her provincial counterparts in crafting a national energy strategy, insisting

that a public feud over the Northern Gateway pipeline has to be resolved before she can proceed. She said she wouldn’t endorse a deal before discussions take place with Ottawa and Alberta over how B.C. would be compensated for allowing the $6-billion pipeline to carry heavy oil to the B.C. coast to be loaded onto tankers bound for Asia. Black stressed the importance of striking an energy deal. “I believe in the fullness of time when we look back on this discussion, we will consider this a small setback,” Black said. The framework report from the Energy Policy Institute of Canada is being sent to all provincial and territorial leaders as well as

VANCOUVER — Valerie MacLean joined the RCMP in the mid-1970s, only a few years after women were first welcomed onto the national police force, with a sense of pride and the belief she would be a game changer in a male-dominated profession. So when a higher-ranking male officer began propositioning her and urged her to be “friendly” because it would be a good career move, she viewed his behaviour as a product of the times. More than 30 later, the 58-year-old has joined a class-action lawsuit that spans decades and alleges widespread, gender-based discrimination within the RCMP. “We felt that we were really advancing things . . . that we would be paving the way for women. And I don’t feel that way now,” said MacLean, who went on to become the public face of the Better Business Bureau in B.C. “I thought, well, what did we pave?

BRIEFS

Harper says immigration minister not involved in Conrad Black’s visa GIMLI, Man. — Prime Minister Stephen Harper says his immigration minister played no role in granting Conrad Black a permit to live in Canada after the former media baron was released from a Florida jail. Harper says Jason Kenney took every step to ensure bureaucrats independently dealt with Black’s file, and that it’s not in the Conservative government’s interest to get involved in the case. He also called allegations against Kenney “spurious.” Harper’s comments came after more than 80 lawyers signed an open letter challenging Kenney’s claim that he wasn’t involved in granting Black a temporary residence permit. The letter was prompted by a grievance filed with the Law Society of Upper Canada by a staffer in Kenney’s office against a Toronto lawyer who said he found it improbable that the minister didn’t involve himself in the Black affair. The Law Society found insufficient evidence to prompt an investigation.

VANCOUVER — The B.C. government has released what it calls the tough questions it will ask the panel reviewing the proposed Northern Gateway panel. Environment Minister Terry Lake says the province will demand to know more details about how much liability Enbridge (TSX:ENB) and its partners will take on in the event of an oil spill. The government also wants to know more about the increased safety measures Enbridge recently announced it would take to prevent a spill and the increased commitments the company has promised if a spill occurs. Lake says B.C. doesn’t have a date yet for when it will participate in the cross-examination of the project’s proponents, but final arguments in the process are scheduled for March and April next year. Last week, the B.C. government finally took a position on the pipeline after months of sitting on the fence. Enbridge’s chief executive officer said today the company is absolutely confident it can meet B.C.’s safety demands.

Quebec man on suicideSupreme Court won’t hear awareness trek dies of convicted murderer’s appeal apparent heart attack OTTAWA — The Supreme Court of Canada will not hear the appeal of a Quebec man convicted of killing the manager of a small town east of Montreal. Robert Godbout was convicted of first-degree murder in the January 2009 death of Renee Vaudreuil. Her body was found in the debris after a fire destroyed the town hall in Saint-Remi-de-Tingwick, about 170 kilometres east of Montreal. The pathology report showed Vaudreuil had been shot twice with a .410-calibre firearm and struck repeatedly in the head with a blunt object. Godbout had been embroiled in a

THETFORD MINES, Que. — A Quebecer who was on a long-distance trek to raise awareness about suicide has died of apparent heart failure before being able to complete his tour. Richard Lavoie was found Wednesday afternoon on a road in a town not far from Thetford Mines, about 100 kilometres south of Quebec City. The 57-year-old Montreal-area resident was pulling a 150-kilogram cart and was hoping to walk more than 1,600 kilometres over three months. Provincial police say they were alerted by a citizen who discovered

Aboriginal affairs minister ’disappointed’ with court ruling on Attawapiskat REGINA — Aboriginal Affairs Minister John Duncan says the government is disappointed with a Federal Court ruling that says it was unreasonable to appoint a third-party manager to a troubled Ontario First Nation. Duncan would not say if it was wrong to send in someone to take over the books in Attawapiskat (AH’-tahWHAH’-piss-kat). The court ruled Wednesday that a third party was the wrong way to address a critical housing shortage last fall in the James Bay community of 2,000. When asked in Regina if the manager was a mistake, Duncan said he wanted to “think about that a little more.” The minister said there was an emergency that the government would — in his words — “end up wearing” if some things didn’t get done.

Toronto-area man charged with sex assaults and making child porn faces court OTTAWA — A Toronto-area man facing dozens of child pornography and sexual assault charges appeared briefly in court today. Scott Waldo Fraser, wearing jeans and a black golf shirt, stood silently as a justice of the peace remanded his case until Aug. 31. No bail hearing has been set, but a ban was placed on publication of the names of any of the alleged victims in the case, as well as any evidence presented before trial. Ottawa police allege the balding 52-year-old Brampton, Ont., man lured boys aged anywhere from 9 to 17 years old into his home to sexually abuse them in front of cameras and on videotape. Police were tipped off when the U.S. Postal Inspection Service notified Toronto investigators in April that a Canadian was suspected of abusing boys and sharing images of the assaults. Peel Regional Police searched a Brampton house in May and arrested Fraser at the request of Ottawa police. Fraser faces 42 charges, including sexual assault, touching a minor, extortion and making child pornography. The alleged assaults

Phelps adds to medal tally CYCLING OFF TO FAST AND TUMULTUOUS START IN LONDON OLYMPICS JAYSON WERTH

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WERTH RETURNS

LONDON — Michael Phelps won the 200-metre individual medley for his first individual gold of the London Olympics Thursday, bringing his haul of career Olympic medals to 20, while track cycling got off to a speedy and tumultuous start with a string of world records and last-minute relegations. The host nation gathered gold medals in shooting, canoe, and cycling, while China predictably won another gold in table tennis. In the pool, Phelps clocked 1 minute, 54.27 seconds, just ahead of American teammate Ryan Lochte, who touched in 1:54.90 to take the silver medal. Laszlo Cseh of Hungary finished in 1:56.22 to take bronze. Phelps plans to retire after his these Olympics, his fourth — but not before a few more swims. He qualified later Thursday night for the 100-metre butterfly final, winning his semifinal in 50.86. Another American teammate, Rebecca Soni, set a second world record in as many days to defend her 200-metre breaststroke, touching in 2 minutes, 19.59 seconds. Ranomi Kromowidjojo of the Netherlands won the 100-metre freestyle, clocking 53.00 to improve on her own Olympic record set in Wednesday’s semifinals. Aliaksandra Herasimenia of Belarus touched in 53.38 to take the silver medal and Tang Yi of China finished in 53.44 to take bronze in swimming’s signature event. Track cycling saw a dramatic first day, with the women’s team sprint world record falling three times in rapid succession. Home favourites Victoria Pendleton and Jessica Varnish of Britain clocked 32.526 seconds over the two laps of the Velodrome during qualifying to improve on the previous mark of 32.549 set by Germany in April. But British cheers were quickly silenced by the Chinese pairing of Gong Jinjie and Guo Shuang, who went on to beat the record twice. And in a huge upset for the home fans, Pendleton and Varnish saw their medal hopes vanish when they were later relegated for making an early change in the first round. More controversy erupted in the final when China won, but were then relegated to second place, giving gold to Germany, which had already seen defeat turn to victory against Britain. Gong and Guo had just finished a victory lap when the announcement came they had been relegated for an illegal relay in the final. The news was better for the host nation in the men’s team sprint event, with Philip Hindes, Jason Kenny and Chris Hoy breaking its own team world record to reach the final against France, then breaking it again in the final to take gold. The victory brought Hoy his fifth gold medal over three Olympics. France won the silver medal with a time of 43.013 seconds, while Germany beat Australia to claim the bronze.

The Washington Nationals activated Jayson Werth from the 15-day disabled list Thursday. Werth, sidelined nearly three months by a broken left wrist, called general manager Mike Rizzo on Wednesday night after a rehab assignment at Class-A Potomac to say he was ready to return. Werth, batting .276 with three home runs and 12 RBIs, is playing centre field and batting sixth in Washington’s game against the Philadelphia Phillies. The Nationals placed right-handed pitcher Henry Rodriguez on the disabled list because of a sore back. Rodriguez is 1-3 with a 5.83 ERA and nine saves in 35 games.

OFFSIDE

CFL owns the building, as well as a chunk of most of the pro teams in Toronto, the exception being the Argonauts. The major sin committed by the Argos is their CFL affiliation, so the “big-leaguers” at Rogers do not make it easy on their main football tenants, thus a crappy home schedule is part of the program for the Argonauts. Anyhow, the Argonauts host the B.C. Lions on Monday afternoon and this time the outcome is not a foregone conclusion because Toronto actually has a football team and they are not simply visitors from Buffalo. Ricky Ray made this team into a legitimate contender about three seconds after Eric Tillman shipped him to southern Ontario in what may be one of the most one-sided moves since the United States invaded Grenada. All of this fanfare leads me to my bold prediction for this game: the Argonauts will win this oddly scheduled game against the Lions. Toronto has a very aggressive secondary and Ricky Ray is the straw that stirs an offence that has played without a quarterback for several years. The startling improvement at the Argonaut quarterback position will be very obvious to the Lions on Monday afternoon.

Titans enjoying second division CONCLUDE REGULAR SEASON PLAY WITH WIN BY ADVOCATE STAFF Titans 32 Hornets 31 The Red Deer Titans found their comfort zone when they were demoted to the Second Division of the Alberta Women’s Rugby League in June. The Titans started the season in the Premier Division, but were in over their heads with an inexperienced and often short-handed squad. But it’s been all fun and games in the Second Division. The Titans concluded regular-season play on Thursday with a thrilling 32-31 win over the visiting Calgary Hornets, finishing with a 5-0 record and the promise of a home playoff match Aug. 11. The Red Deer crew will likely take on the Calgary Rams in a South semifinal at Titans Park. “We’re not a Premier Division team,” said Titans coach Ray Rogers, repeating his comment following a

match in late May. Indeed, the Titans had trouble fielding a full lineup while going up against Premier sides that featured national team players. “But we have so many junior girls now, under-19 girls who have come through and performed well at this level,” said Rogers. “We didn’t have many players before, but now we have lots of bodies. It’s a lot better now. The girls are enjoying rugby.” The Titans trailed 31-29 when the Hornets scored a try with less than five minutes remaining, but Michelle Novotney hit a penalty kick from close range in the final minute to pull out the victory. The Titans got single tries from Novotney, Brittany Charles, Katelyn McIver, Chelsey Clifford and U-18 player Paige Farries, who was playing with a broken nose. Novotney added two converts. With a semifinal win Aug. 11, the Titans will advance to the South final the following weekend at Calgary. The provincial final will also be played at Calgary. gmeachem@reddeeradvocate.com

Former champions to meet at Men’s Amateur Championship Four former champions will tee it up in the championship flight of the Central Alberta Men’s Amateur Saturday to Monday at the Red Deer Golf and Country Club. Included is defending champion Jordan Krulicki, who won the 2011 title by seven strokes over runner-up Joey Sereda of Edmonton, who is also returning this year. Tom Skinner is the most decorated of the former champions, having won the Central Alberta Amateur on three occasions — in 1998, 2000 and 2005. Also returning are 2008 champ Kyle Morrison and 1999 winner Arthur Pendle. Krulicki cruised to victory in last year’s tournament, which featured a strong field. “And the field is just as strong this year,” RDG&CC head pro Ken Frame said Thursday. Others names of note gunning for their first Central Alberta Amateur championship are Senan Foley and

David Alberti of Calgary, Ron Harder of Innisfail, and Dan Soley, J.D. Morrical and Pete Duncan of Red Deer, all of whom finished in the top 10 last year. Juniors Matt Codd and Jesse Teron of the RDG&CC are also in the championship flight. Codd is currently competing in the Canadian junior men’s championship at Bridgewater, N.S., where he was tied for 14th after 54 holes and was a mere six strokes off the lead going into today’s final round. Teron missed the 36-hole cut at the junior nationals. The 35 players in the championship flight will tee off at 12:30 p.m. Saturday and 7:30 a.m. Sunday. Both are shotgun starts. The tournament will conclude Monday, with the first group of championship flight competitors heading out at noon. The final group will tee off at 2:06 p.m.

No. 3 Maria Sharapova won a matchup of firsttime Olympians, beating Kim Clijsters 6-2, 7-5. Sharapova’s opponent toiday will be fellow Russian Maria Kirilenko, who defeated No. 6 Petra Kvitova of Germany 7-6 (3), 6-3. Italy won a gold in women’s fencing, with Elisa Di Francisca’s 45-32 victory over defending champion Russia in the final of the women’s foil team event. South Korea won bronze with a 45-32 victory over France. American gymnast Gabby Douglas won the women’s all-around title, becoming the third American to win gymnastics’ biggest prize. It was her second gold medal of the London Games, two nights after she and her teammates gave the United States its first gymnastics Olympic title since 1996. Britain won gold medals in men’s canoe double and in shooting. The host nation swept the two top spots in men’s canoe slalom, with Tim Baillie and Etienne Stott winning gold, and David Florence and Richard Hounslow taking silver. Slovakian twins Pavel and Peter Hochschorner, who were attempting to win their fourth straight gold medal in the event, had to settle for bronze. Another British gold came in shooting, with Peter Wilson winning the double trap. The 25-year-old shooter, who holds the world record, scored 188 points and won by two points ahead of Sweden’s Hakan Dahlby, who claimed silver.

Riggers pick up momentum HEADING INTO SUNBURST BASEBALL LEAGUE AND PROVINCIAL SENIOR CHAMPIONSHIPS SEMIFINAL AGAINST THE WHITE SOX BY DANNY RODE ADVOCATE STAFF Riggers 5 White Sox 2 In the grand scheme of things the meeting between the Red Deer Riggers and Parkland White Sox at Great Chief Park Thursday didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean much. But the Riggers may have gained a little momentum heading into the best-of-three Sunburst Baseball League and provincial senior championships semifinal against the White Sox as they recorded a 5-2 victory. â&#x20AC;&#x153; It was good for the guys as we played with nine players on Tuesday (a 4-1 loss to the White Sox in Spruce Grove) and 10 tonight because of injuries and other commitments and we proved we can overcome a little adversity,â&#x20AC;? said Riggers manager Curtis Bailey, who still wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t overly excited with what he saw. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a game and a win,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But we made a few too many errors and mental errors, little things that take away from the game.â&#x20AC;? The Riggers are missing catcher Curtis Mazurkewich, infielder Mike Ronnie and outfielder Mark Fay with injuries while Jason Chatwood and Matt Fay were both unavailable. What Ronnie, who has a torn ligament in his left thumb, can do is pitch and he went the distance Thursday, scattering eight hits while fanning six and throwing 142 pitches. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He did a great job,â&#x20AC;? said Bailey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He tired around the sixth or seventh inning, but he persevered.â&#x20AC;? It was the second straight game Ronnie went the distance. He beat the Fort Saskatchewan Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the final of the Riggers tournament in his last start. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in there Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not leaving,â&#x20AC;? Ronnie joked as he left the dugout after the game.. The only runs off Ronnie came after a rain delay in the top of the fifth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They had some other opportunities to score, but he did a good job of shutting them down and fortunately they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t capitalize,â&#x20AC;? added Bailey. The Riggers got to White Sox starter Scott Hoekstra for a run in the first as Jaret Chatwood doubled, stole third and scored on Jordan Weinkaufâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ground out. They added three runs in the second on only one hit, but two walks and a pair of errors. Their final run came in the sixth as Chatwood reached on a fielderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choice and scored on Weinkaufâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s double. The Riggers used Denver Wikâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother, Riley, at shortstop. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Riley plays junior in Innisfail and it was good having him out. He added a little enthusiasm to the dugout,â&#x20AC;? said Bailey. Riley Wik finished with a single. Jason Chatwood and Dustin Northcott will be back next week for the playoffs which open Tuesday in Spruce Grove. The second game is set for Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. at Great Chief Park and if a third game is necessary itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Thursday in Spruce Grove. Meanwhile the other semifinal sees the Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s take on the St. Albert Tigers, who advanced thanks to a 3-1 win over the Red Deer Stags in St. Albert Thurs-

James Carr had a strong outing on the Stags mound, allowing just two hits in a complete-game outing. But Derek Dallorto was just a shade more effective for the Tigers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We played tight defensively and had runners on

base, but couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get them home,â&#x20AC;? said Stags playing co-manager Davin Gulbransen. Jamie Duncan led the Red Deer squad at the plate with three hits. The Stags managed seven hits in total. drode@reddeeradvocate.com

‘Same old Ben’ at Pittsburgh’s camp ROETHLISBERGER HAS STOPPED MAKING REPEATED UNNECESSARY THROWS BEFORE PRACTICE OR DURING INFORMAL SITUATIONS BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LATROBE, Pa. — Tight spiral after tight spiral. Repeated deep balls lofted deftly into the waiting hands of a receiver not breaking stride. Ben Roethlisberger has looked as sharp as ever during practices throughout much of this Pittsburgh Steelers training camp this summer. The two-time Super Bowl champion appears anything like a quarterback who’s being bothered by a shoulder injury — as teammates, coaches and even Big Ben himself can attest to. “He looks like the same old Ben to me, which is a great quarterback,” veteran tight end Heath Miller said. “Nothing new on that front.” Roethlisberger revealed on Wednesday that he sustained a slight tear in his right rotator cuff during a game last November. The revelation caused a mid-afternoon stir at St. Vincent College Wednesday before Roethlisberger later assured, “It’s a serious non-issue, because I’m just fine.” He’s looked it, too. Besides the fact he hasn’t missed a full practice at camp and was a full participant all through Organized Team Activities and minicamp earlier this summer, Roethlisberger’s arm has done the talking. Thursday, most of his better throws during two-minute drill work went to Antonio Brown, including a high deep pattern down the right sideline that went for a 38-yard touchdown. “He’s looking really good,” Brown said, “throwing good and just having a good camp overall.” Continuing a trend that developed over the latter stages of last season, Brown has grown into Roethlisberger’s go-to receiver. That’s obvious during practice, though Pro Bowl receiver Mike Wallace’s holdout also contributes to that. “I’m learning where he wants me to go,” Brown said. “And with him, I know that if I get there, the ball will be there for me.” The other starting receiver, Emmanuel Sanders, concurs. He believes Roethlisberger “definitely” is having a strong training camp. “All quarterbacks usually come into their prime around 30 years old,” Sanders said. “And I feel like Ben is starting to come into

his prime with his arm strength and understanding and everything.” Roethlisberger, who turned 30 in March, said Wednesday that getting older — combined with the “sore” shoulder — has caused him to stop making repeated unnecessary throws before practice or during more informal situations. “It’s one of those ones where the doctor says ‘You know what, let’s just avoid throwing too much in walkthroughs and when you don’t have to throw, and try not to land on it,”’ Roethlisberger said. “It happened in the Baltimore game (last Nov. 6). It just got extended the wrong way. It was never an issue of (pain). “I’ve dealt with a lot of pain, and it wasn’t going to take me out.” In the seven games he played after the injury, Roethlisberger had 1,734 passing yards, seven touchdowns and seven interceptions. He was also bothered by a badly sprained left ankle during much of that stretch, an injury that caused him to miss a win against St. Louis on Christmas Eve. Despite sitting that game, Roethlisberger finished with 4,077 yards and 21 touchdowns. That was his second-best season in the former and third-most in the latter. “You didn’t see any dropoff in my play throwing the ball (last season),” he said. “And you haven’t seen it yet (this summer).” The Steelers (No. 7 in the AP Pro32) have a new offensive co-ordinator in Todd Haley this season, and Roethlisberger said he is warming to picking up on the new playbook after a period of adjustment. “I’m just really excited about working with Ben,” Haley said. “We’re off to a real good start. When you have a guy that’s a proven winner that knows how to move the football up and down the field and get everybody in place, that’s a huge asset.” NOTES: LB LaMarr Woodley did not practice for the second consecutive day Thursday, and he was seen walking around campus with a slight limp. Tomlin characterized it as a routine veteran’s day off when he missed Wednesday’s practice. Thursday, when asked if Woodley was injured, Tomlin said, “He will be back tomorrow.” ... LB Brandon Hicks did not practice due to a lower abdominal injury. RB John Clay (groin) did not return to practice after missing Wednesday’s workout, but RB Chris Rainey (heat-related illness) did.

NASCAR

Annett primed for 1st victory BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Tiger Woods watches his ball after teeing off on the third hole during the first round of the Bridgestone Invitational golf tournament at Firestone Country Club, Thursday, in Akron, Ohio.

Furyk opens with 63 at Akron BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS AKRON, Ohio — Jim Furyk made a detour to Florida to sit on his back porch and hang out with his kids as he tried to figure out why decent golf was producing ordinary scores. The short break appeared to do him a world of good Thursday in the Bridgestone Invitational. With seven birdies and a 30-foot eagle putt, Furyk had a 7-under 63 for his best score ever at Firestone and a two-shot lead over Lee Slattery of England. The conditions could not have been more ideal with sunshine, heat and very little wind, along with carpet for fairways and smooth greens. It showed in some of the tee shots on the South Course — 58 drives of at least 350 yards, and a 427-yarder by Branden Grace of South Africa — and mostly in the scoring. Luke Donald, the world’s No. 1 player, and Masters champion Bubba Watson were among those at 66. Thirty players in the 78-man field at this World Golf Championship managed to break par.

BRIDGESTONE INVITATIONAL Tiger Woods was not among them. He was 3 under after backto-back birdies to start the back nine, but had to lay up with his third shot on the par-5 16th after driving into the trees and ended his round with a three-putt bogey from 25 feet for a 70. It was his second-worst start at Firestone, a course where he has won seven times. The other was a 74 in 2010, his last week without a swing coach. “I think I averaged about four putts per hole, so it was a great day on the greens,” said Woods, who lost his touch on the greens but at least kept his sarcasm. Since missing out on a chance to win the U.S. Open, Furyk has tied for 34th in two tournaments and missed two cuts, including last week in Canada. For a guy who is 15th in the Ryder Cup standings — even a win this week would not make him eligible for the U.S. team — this was no time to be stuck in neutral. So when he had another week-

end off after rounds of 70-70 at the Canadian Open, he flew home for three days. “I think more than anything I needed a little time to clear my head,” Furyk said. “It wasn’t anything that was going wrong, (but) why I wasn’t playing better. I just felt like I needed to come in here and quit concentrating on trying to be so mechanically sound and just go play some golf and try to score and get the ball in the hole a little bit. It worked today. I did a lot better job of scoring. “It’s been a while since I made seven birdies and an eagle in a round,” he said. “So it was a lot of fun.” The average score was 70.33, which is on the low side for Firestone. Defending champion Adam Scott, in his first tournament since making four straight bogeys to lose the British Open, had a fourputt from just inside 10 feet early in his round and shot 71.

The joy of a top-five finish wears off pretty fast nowadays for Michael Annett. He says it’s time to win. There would be no better place for a breakthrough than Iowa Speedway in Newton, 30 miles east of Annett’s hometown of Des Moines. Annett goes into Saturday’s U.S. Cellular 250 on a career-best run and as one of the hottest drivers in the NASCAR Nationwide Series. He came in sixth last week at Indianapolis and was in the top five in three of four races before that. “We’re definitely hoping to use everything we’ve learned this last month-and-a-half and bring home a trophy rather than getting excited about a third or fourth,” Annett said. The 26-year-old is among three native Iowans in the Nationwide field this week. Joey Gase of Cedar Rapids will be in Go Green Racing’s No. 39 Chevrolet in his 11th start of the year and 16th of his career. Brett Moffitt of Grimes, the points leader in the K&N Pro Series East, will drive RAB Racing’s No. 99 Toyota Camry in his first career Nationwide start. Annett, who signed with Richard Petty Motorsports after driving for Rusty Wallace last year, will be competing in his 125th Nationwide race since 2008. He has more than $3.6 million in career earnings and, at sixth in the point standings, is well on his way to his best year. He earned an extra $100,000 last week for finishing highest among four eligible drivers at Indy in Nationwide’s “Dash4Cash” bonus program. He’ll go for another $100,000 bonus at Iowa, this time against Sam Hornish Jr., Austin Dillon and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Annett has led in three races this year, but his best career finish remains third, to Kurt Busch and Stenhouse last month at Daytona. He’ll be driving for the sixth time at Iowa Speedway. He was 12th in last year’s U.S. Cellular 250 and was dealt a disappointing blow in his most recent appearance at the track. He thought his No. 43 Ford was good enough to win the Pioneer Hi-Bred 250 in May. He came in 14th despite having to contend with a loose spark-plug wire that cut his engine power to seven cylinders for half the race. “We felt we let one get away a couple months ago,” Annett said, “so I’m looking forward to this one even more.” Annett said he and his crew chief, Phillippe Lopez, have never been more confident. “We know what we need to do to run top five, top 10,” he said. “We need to make the next step.”

Harris is dual threat for Lions, in the air and on the ground BY THE CANADIAN PRESS SURREY, B.C. — Andrew Harris is preparing to soar among the clouds at breakneck speed, but still striving to keep his ego on the ground. The B.C. Lions running back is slated to ride along in a CF-18 jet during an air show next weekend in Abbotsford, B.C. It isn’t difficult to get him talking about the subject. “I’m a huge adrenaline junkie,” said Harris after practice Thursday. “So I’m excited about that. I don’t know how fast those things go exactly, or exactly how fast the guys go when I’m in it. But it’s definitely going to be a crazy experience. It’s an opportunity of a lifetime, for sure.” However, his selection as the CFL’s Canadian player of the month for July — the first in his career — doesn’t generate as much excitement. The 25-year-old Winnipeg native received the honour after catching two passes

for touchdowns in a convincing 34-8 victory in Calgary. “It’s cool, it’s an honour, but it’s just one month of football,” said Harris. “Obviously, those things are good to have in competition, but I’m the type of guy that just wants to keep on doing those things. We’ve still got four months of football left. It’s about getting and, obviously, racking up these wins.” As the Lions (3-2) prepare to face the Toronto Argonauts (3-2) in the Ontario capital on Monday, Harris keeps rolling along on an unlikely rags-toriches story. The former Vancouver Island Raiders standout rose through the Canadian junior ranks instead of university football to become a bona fide star at a tailback position usually reserved for imports. The player of the month honour came a day after he received the CFL player of the week award for the second time this season. He ran for 55 yards against the Stampeders and gained an additional 37 on

five receptions. One of his touchdowns came on a 19-yard pass along the sidelines in a play that one would usually expect a wide receiver to make. Harris is proving to be a dual threat on the ground and in the air. His first CFL player of the week award came in the second week of the season as he romped for 147 rushing yards on 13 carries. He produced a combined 185 yards in another game, albeit a loss, to Edmonton. He currently leads the league in combined yardage from scrimmage with 628. He is also ranked fourth in the league among running backs with 351 yards on 47 carries, and his average of 7.5 yards per carry tops the CFL. True to form, he also takes his receiving success in stride, but admits the work he has put in on improving his timing and release off the ball, among other factors, is paying off. “I don’t think I’ve had a drop all year,” he said. “So that’s one thing I’m a little proud of.”

With 277 receiving yards, he appears well on his way to surpassing the 395 he accumulated in 2011. But he also shrugs off his receiving success. “That’s the CFL,” said Harris. “If I’m getting nine or 10 carries (per game), that’s pretty average, for a run game game anyways. That’s what I’ll gain in the run game, and you’ve gotta make up for it in the pass. There are so many good receivers that, sometimes, guys are getting doubled and bracketed, so it opens you up.” Harris was used exclusively on special teams in his 2010 rookie season and began last season as a backup. He was tried out as a returner, a receiver and a defensive back before emerging as a starter and earning top Canadian honours in B.C.’s Grey Cup victory over Winnipeg last season. But Harris, a longshot to even make the CFL, admitted to having a “whole different mindset” after coming into 2012 as a starter.

Rask ready to be Bruins’ top goaltender BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Gary Moe Volkswagen Gasoline Alley South (west side) Red Deer 403.342.2923 | Visit garymoe.com 40696G6-H13

BOSTON — Tuukka Rask was caught off guard — just a little — when he heard fellow Bruins goalie Tim Thomas decided not to play next season. Surprised? Yes. Shocked? Not so much. “I wasn’t expecting him to do that, obviously,” Boston’s new starting goalie said Thursday at a charity event. “But I really appreciated what he’s done and I appreciate his decision to want to be with the family and take some time off hockey. “It really didn’t shock me that much, but I’m more sad to see him leave because we had a really good connection and friendship going on. But I’m sure he’s happy now where he is, and gets to spend time with his family.” And so the Bruins — one year removed from winning the Stanley Cup — journey on with Rask in net. It’s not a bad option, of course, just a different one. Rask, after all, had a 2.05 goals-against average in 25 games last season after posting a 2.67 in 29 games in 2010-11. The previous season, he was stellar — registering a 1.97 clip — in 45 games, and even played more than Thomas as the pieces of what would become a championship team were still coming into place. Still only 25, Rask will be a restricted free agent after this season, should he and the club not come to a long-term agreement. He avoided salary arbitration by signing a one-year contract worth $3.5 million, more than double the $1.5 million he made last season. Other goalies in similar situations signed longer deals, but Rask and management agreed to see how his first season as the No. 1 plays out before negotiating again. “A lot of people were a little surprised about the contract and stuff,” he said after visiting children at the Jimmy Fund Clinic of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. “But I can’t tell the team that I want a long contract because I am at the age where I would have gone to arbitration. “So we just figured that it’s best for both of us. And then if I have a good year, then maybe (I’ll) sign up a longer deal.”

ADVOCATE CITY EDITOR FORCED TO FLEE RESORT IN B.C. WITH OTHERS AS MUDSLIDE DESCENDED BY CAROLYN MARTINDALE ADVOCATE CITY EDITOR The memories are still fresh, more than two weeks after we ran from the path of the mudslide at Fairmont, B.C. We escaped out the patio door of a condo at Fairmont Mountainside Villas Sunday evening July 15. A river of mud, rock and debris swirled around us, blocking retreat from the front. Any promise of escape to the SUV several metres away was flushed away by mud and rock that pushed the vehicle 100 metres down the road we had just driven up 20 minutes earlier. I had joined Cameron Fairbairn and his mother Claire on what has been an annual family vacation for them for more than 20 years. But this one was different. We had just unpacked the car and we were preparing dinner for Cameron’s son, daughterin-law and five grandchildren, who were expected to burst in the door any minute from their own condo (F8) two footbridges away on the other side of the Fairmont Creek. Suddenly we heard a loud noise like a rumble of thunder. But this thunder didn’t stop. Golfers on the fairway above us had come running to say: “You better get out of here; there is a lot of mud up there,” Cameron recalls. We had no idea what they meant. Suddenly there is muddy water followed by mud coming at us down from the creek, from the 11th fairway and from the 16th fairway and it is not stopping. It comes in successive waves each thicker and deeper than the last with more timber, debris and rock. We could see the high ground of the resort’s recreation centre through the trees only a short walk west across a bridge and across the 11th fairway. We couldn’t cross because the creek was boiling high with mud and debris and there was mud snaking down both sides of the 11th green. Our condo (E4) was inside the curve of the creek where it makes a southern bend before flowing down the mountain to meet the Columbia River below. When the creek burst its banks, it sent water, mud and

BELOW: Claire Fairbairn, 91, stands beside the mud-splattered condo that she escaped on July 15 when a mudslide hit Fairmont Mountainside Villas resort and golf course. The slide ripped away the stairs to the condo and left mountains of debris and mud more than two metres high on the condo. See video at www.reddeeradvocate.com. debris more than two metres up the hillside-facing outside wall of the condo before swirling down around both front steps and side patio exits. Our condo was located along the creek at the base of 11th and 16th fairways. One arm of the mudslide funnelled water, mud, debris and rock down both sides of our condo. A footbridge west of us was already overtaken by mud. When we ran from the back deck of the condo, we had only a narrow path between other condos and flowing mud to the east, and boiling mud and creek to the west. I was walking ahead and managed to get across before the mud covered our path. Claire and Cameron were not so lucky — both were overtaken by ankle-deep mud and water. Claire, 91, who was accustomed to only short, slow walks, recalls later that we “half dragged her through the mud.” The second footbridge between us and the other side was al-

ready gone. The third bridge and walkway along the 12th fairway was being overtaken by mud flowing down from the 11th fairway above. What had been a natural pond earlier now was a muddy mass flowing towards us. For a moment I froze, convinced we should retreat to higher ground of the 15th tee box across the road behind us. Cameron assured me to press forward across the bridge to the safety of the recreation centre, which was on higher ground. But by the time we got across that bridge our path to the rec centre was cut off again by mud and water. We had to take the long way around the 7th fairway and up the road to the rec centre. When we got to the centre, we learned everyone who could walk was being evacuated to the fire hall at the entrance to the Mountainside Villas, where Fairmont Creek Road meets Hwy 93/95. But emergency officials im-

mediately judged Claire unable to make the trip. She was already white as a sheet, suffering breathing difficulties, and soaked to the skin from the rain. We were told to stay with her until she could be taken out by air ambulance. We were also uneasy because we still had not located Cameron’s son and the rest of his family. We also could smell propane, and learned that the mud slide had dislodged a propane tank nearby and it was leaking. When I asked an RCMP officer whether we were safe at the recreation centre he looked at me somberly and said: “moderately.” I learned later what he meant. From the second floor patio of the rec centre I could see mud and/or newly channelled creek running down three sides of the rec centre. It came down the edge of the 11th fairway to the east.

FAIRMONT MUDSLIDE CHRONOLOGY Sunday, July 15 4 p.m. — Carolyn, Cameron and Claire check in at the desk at Fairmont Mountainside Villas in the Recreation Centre. Our condo is not ready. 4:15 — Unknown to us, high on the mountain a retention pond’s sluice gate has given away. The first sign of trouble: a lifeguard at Fairmont Hot Springs notices muddy water in the hot springs pool. 4:30 — We drive up the road to our condo and unpack and start dinner. At the lodge further up the mountain, the road to the RV park has become impassible. The mudslide is making its way down the mountainside to the villas below. 4:44 — The mud in the Fairmont Creek has reached the 16th and 11th fairways and turns to envelope our E4 condo. Mud and water sweeps over the front steps, blocking our path. The footbridge to the 12th fairway is now impassible. 4:53 — We watch in disbelief as our SUV is swept away by mud and rock. 4:54 — We escape out the patio door of our condo along the creek that is boiling with mud. We see mudslides on either side of us. 4:55 to 5:15 — We try to outflank the mud as we try to reach the high ground of the recreation centre. Both the 12th and seventh fairways are now covered in mud, and there is no longer any clear road to use. We have no choice but to go through. 5:25 — We arrive to the high ground of the Recreation Centre in the midst of mudslides and running water on all sides. 5:45 — We learn Hwy 93/95 has been overtaken by the mudslide and it has been closed. We still don’t know where the rest of the Fairbairn family is. We are told the Fairmont fire hall is the muster area, but cannot attempt it because of Claire Fairbairn’s frail condition. 7:10 — Fire trucks, police with dogs, and the ever-present sounds of helicopters makes it feel like a war zone. 8:30 — The mud is finally slowing — by now it has covered parking lots and fairways like untrowelled concrete. 9:46 — A skidsteer loader clears mud from the access road west of the rec centre. We try to sleep on the couches in the Rec Centre but we are too wired to sleep. 11:30 p.m. — We are driven across more mud and a creek to another condo to spend the night. We are told others whose condos are accessible are able to return for the night. Many others, including the rest of Cameron’s family, have found a hotel off the site.

STORY FROM PAGE C1

MUDSLIDE: Ran over all in path It fanned out behind the tennis court, demolishing a playground, and then struck a path along the road along the other side of the recreation centre. Mud and water also flowed across that road, finding a path between two sets of condos to the eighth fairway down below. Mud spilled over the curb and was more than a 25 cm deep in front of some condos. We learned that the rest of Cameron’s family has made it safely to the fire hall with their car. The propane to the leaking tank had been turned off. For nearly five hours, we were the only guests at the recreation centre. We had only the clothes we were wearing. Our last meal had been at lunch and the only food available were snacks from a vending machine. Cameron and I took turns pacing the perimeter, taking photographs, and watching to see how far the mud and water had advanced. Claire’s breathing had settled and she tried to sleep on the floor of the rec centre. The few staff who remained checked on us periodically and kept us informed. We learned later that rain-soaked earth had driven mountains of mud, rock, timber and debris from high on the mountain above us. It came down along the path of Fairmont Creek before bursting its banks, cutting several wide swathes across the Fairmont Mountainside Villas and golf course, which has more than 115 condos in the centre of an 18-hole golf course. We did not learn until later that the mudslide had washed out a road high above us and left more than 500 campers stranded at Fairmont RV Park. After racing past us, the mud slid across Hwy 93/95, closing the highway at Fairmont for several hours. Officials told us the path of the slide was more than

BRIEFS Mock exercise at airport The Red Deer Airport and emergency services will be testing out emergency response plans during a mock exercise on Aug. 12. The mock disaster will involve a situation where an aircraft has crash landed near the Red Deer Airport. Red Deer Airport chief executive officer RJ Steenstra says they are required to do live exercises under Transport Canada Airport certification every three years. The airport also has agreements with Red Deer County to provide emergency services in the event of an accident. “The airport has a full emergency response plan so this provides us an opportunity to test that plan and ensure the appropriate steps are taken in the event of an accident,” Steenstra said. Penhold Air Cadets will act as 50 casualties who require a different level of response. The exercise allows numerous agencies such as Red Deer County’s Technical Rescue, Red Deer County Fire and Patrol Services, NAV Canada, as well as Blackfalds RCMP and EMS, to work together. Each will take part in specialized tasks during the exercise. The mock disaster exercise will go between 1 and 4 p.m. at the Red Deer Airport.

Voyeurism charge for man A 57-year-old Lacombe man was charged with voyeurism after a camera was allegedly used to spy on people during their private moments. John Lyle Harrison is charged for “surreptitiously observing by mechanical or electronic means” persons in a place where there should be a reasonable expectation of privacy, according to Alberta Justice court files. A Lacombe Police officer confirmed the charge, but refused to disclose further details of the July 3 incident. Harrison is expected to appear today in Red Deer provincial court.

Debris at Fairmont on July 17, two days after mudslide.

problem. Nonetheless our vehicle is freed on Tuesday. Wednesday is the first day we awake to no sound of water running. Today we are dumbfounded to learn that 600 dump trucks full of rock and debris were removed from the resort in the first two days of the restoration effort alone. Our vehicle is so coated with mud, we learn it must stay behind for another week to be cleaned and repaired. Thursday is the first day we don’t get our feet wet or dodge heavy equipment crossing the road to the rec centre. The creek that has been running over the access road has been restored to its old channel. The last two days of our week gradually sees a return to order, although the mud, construction activity, and the ever-present pungent smell of drying mud still remind us of our ordeal. On July 28 we return to Fairmont to pick up the SUV, which the mechanic tells us had 16 garbage barrels of mud cleaned from its undercarriage and components before it could be repaired for travel. We return to Fairmont Mountainside Villas resort to retrieve our bikes and carrier. We are in awe of how much rock and debris has already been removed from the most visible areas since the mudslide. A worker is sluicing mud from the seventh fairway with a fire hose as we drive by. We see a sign that tells us the RV Park, the hot springs and the Fairmont Lodge will reopen on Aug. 3. As I reflect on the mud slide and its aftermath, I am in awe. It is amazing that no one was hurt or killed. I am touched by the attentive staff at the resort who assisted us during and after the mudslide. I am impressed by the massive co-ordinated efforts of the army of workers and equipment that have undertaken the cleanup and restoration efforts. Unlike during my original week there, I begin, now, to see the idyllic beauty of the area that draws many visitors to return again and again to this piece of paradise. cmartindale@reddeeradvocate.com

1.5 km long. Before midnight, we are told it is safe. We are moved to another condo up the hill (P8) in the same resort. We had to be driven because there was still mud and a creek running across the access roads. We finally settled in for the night, but it is unsettling to hear a creek nearby, far away from its usual path. We were grateful to the general manager of Mountainside Villas and some heroic workers who got into our old mudswept condo to retrieve Claire’s medication. Monday we awoke to the sound of water running. When we looked out our window we saw that a swathe of mud had deposited a minivan in the middle of the eighth fairway. The mud and a creek babbled along, carrying more mud and water to the second fairway below. We are on foot because our SUV is still locked in mud and rock on the other side of 11th green. As we walk around, we see damage everywhere. An army of workers and heavy equipment operators is tackling

the massive task of putting the creek back in its regular channel and cleaning up the mountain of debris. Mud and debris has flowed over at least seven fairways, flooded roads to the condos, filled some condos with mud and debris. Our original condo is surrounded by mud, logs and soccer-ball sized rocks. We are allowed to return to our condo to retrieve our clothes and food. Tuesday, I bolt awake again to renewed sounds of running water. When I go outside our P8 condo, I realize the sound is the new creek is running even faster across the road to our condo, before running through the mud onto the eighth fairway. Apparently, a new logjam further up the mountain has given way, allowing a cascade of water down the mountain on a new path as the original creek bed is still jammed with debris. This new slide now floods as many as 19 private homes at the base of the mountain, diverting the equipment and operators from further up the mountain to solve this new

Park plan on hold

Seniors to house students

A plan looking at park development over the next 30 to 50 years remains on the back burner until the city acquires land adjacent to the Red Deer River within Red Deer County, said Mayor Morris Flewwelling. Two years ago, city council adopted the River Valley and Tributaries Park Concept Plan that included 21 recommendations. It suggests making the river a municipal park within city limits. Creating this park wouldn’t entail acquiring any land and the provincial government would still maintain responsibility over natural resources within its territory, says the report. Flewwelling said he believes the plan will come into action when land next to the Red Deer River is annexed from the county.

Date rape drug hearing A preliminary hearing has been set for next June for a Red Deer man accused of dealing the date rape drug. Aaron Bodnaruk, 26, now free on bail, will head to Court of Queen’s Bench on June 10 to face a preliminary hearing in connection with a police raid on a house in Oriole Park. On May 16, the Red Deer City RCMP Street Team executed a search warrant for drugs on a residence on Oak Drive. A man living at the home was arrested. A quantity of GHB, or 4-Gamma hydroxybutyric acid, was seized. It’s a clear liquid that when taken in small doses acts as an intoxicant with symptoms similar to impairment by alcohol. If consumed in larger quantities, symptoms include drowsiness, blackouts and loss of memory. Police also seized drug trafficking paraphernalia an electroshock weapon, also known as a Taser. Bodnaruk was charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking, possession of the proceeds of crime, dangerous driving and possession of a prohibited weapon. Defence counsel Will Willms said on Thursday that his client has elected a judge-alone trial. Bodnaruk was not in court. A preliminary hearing is held to decide if there is enough evidence to convict the accused.

BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF Seniors are showing interest in rooming with college students. Seven seniors are in midst of filling out applications to rent out a room to a college student in exchange for help around the home as part of the Home Share program. Now they must wait for the college students to submit applications before opening their doors. The Home Share project is one element of the federally-funded Central Alberta Generations Project devoted to calling attention to and preventing elder abuse. Next week, the Home Share applications and criteria will be posted on Family Services of Central Alberta’s website (www.fsca) and the Students’ Association of Red Deer College’s housing registry (www.sardc.ab.ca/ housing.htm), Golden Circle Senior’s Resource Centre (www.goldencircle. ca ) and can be obtained by contacting FSCA. Donna Morey, Generations Proj-

ect co-ordinator, said seniors will be matched this semester and throughout the school year. She said the project will gain steam with the start of the school year around the corner and as the predicted housing crunch unfolds. She said it is not about rushing the matching but ensuring there are good matches putting the right people together. “We are hoping this will be an alternative for the students,” said Morey. “We want the youth to gain a better understanding of the aging process and be able to provide the seniors with an opportunity to learn about some of those risk factors and things will raise awareness for our youth.” This month, Morey will spend a day at the Golden Circle Senior’s Resource Centre to talk to seniors about the initiative. Both seniors and students must attend workshops about preventing elder abuse and other related topics as part of the project.

EI CHANGES OFFERING JOBLESS MORE INCENTIVES GOES INTO EFFECT AUG. 5 OTTAWA — Starting next week, jobless Canadians will be able to pocket more of their employment insurance benefits if they find temporary jobs during their search for full-time work. A new pilot program announced in the Conservative government’s spring budget gets underway Sunday. The two-year, $74-million pilot project will allow EI claimants to stay active in the labour market in their search for permanent employment. It will cut the current clawback rate in half for people who are collecting EI but who have found temporary work. The easing of the clawback would mean that an unemployed person who is collecting $330 a week on EI while working a job that paid $450 a week would see their weekly earnings rise to $555 from $462.

VANCOUVER HOME SALES FOR JULY FALL VANCOUVER — July home sales in Vancouver, once the country’s hottest real estate market, continued to slide and hit their lowest total for the month since 2000. The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver reported Thursday 2,098 properties sold in the month, down 18.4 per cent from 2,571 in July 2011 and down 11.2 per cent from June’s mark of 2,362, which was also the lowest total for that month since 2000. Despite the sharp drop in the number of homes sold, the board says the MLS home price index composite benchmark price was $616,000, up 0.6 per cent from a year ago, but down 0.7 per cent from June. “People appear to be cautious about making significant financial decisions right now,” board president Eugen Klein said in a statement. “While our local economy appears to be quite robust, there may be some concern about the impact of international markets and the federal government’s tightening of mortgage regulations.” — The Canadian Press

Two other bays in the shopping centre remain available for lease.

PM pardon ‘a very special day’ FARMERS REFLECT ON BATTLE TO END WHEAT BOARD MONOPOLY BY HARLEY RICHARDS ADVOCATE BUSINESS EDITOR Jim Chatenay may be retired from farming, but he still helps his friend Ron Duffy with his operation east of Blackfalds. “I swath for him in the fall and cultivate for him in the spring.” A decade ago, the two men had a far different relationship — cellmates in the Lethbridge Correctional Centre. “He took the top bunk and I took the bottom bunk,” recalled Chatenay, who spent 23 days in jail for illegally transporting a bushel of wheat from his Penhold farm to the United States in 1996. Duffy and 11 other Western Canadian farmers were incarcerated for similar acts of defiance against the Canadian Wheat Board and its control over the marketing of their grain. The group, called Farmers For Justice, also included Bill Moore of Red Deer and Rod Hanger of Three Hills. On Wednesday, Prime Minister Stephen Harper confirmed that the ex-cons had been pardoned. He made the announcement on a farm near Kindersley, Sask., where hundreds of farmers had gathered to celebrate the official end of the Wheat Board’s monopoly over the marketing of Western Canadian wheat and barley. “It was absolutely unbelievable, a very special day,” said Chatenay, who was at the rally. “I’ve waited 15 ½ years for that day, and then to throw the pardon on top of it was just extraordinary. “The prime minister shook our hands no less than four times in less than five hours. It was just an unbelievable feeling.” Duffy, who made the trip to Kindersley as well, also savoured the moment. “It’s sort of a verification that we were

The optics are terrible and the whole world was watching.”

The two men believe those events helped end the Wheat Board’s monopoly. “I always thought that on Halloween Day, when they put us in jail in 2002, that would be the beginning of the end of the Canadian Wheat Board monopoly,” said Duffy.

Business reps to gather for ‘speed-dating’ marathon BY HARLEY RICHARDS ADVOCATE BUSINESS EDITOR

CENTRALLIA

Entrepreneurs may not be the most romantic of people, and Winnipeg isn’t known as an amorous city. But hundreds of business reps, and municipal and economic officials, are scheduled to gather in the Manitoba capital Oct. 10 to 13 for a speed-dating marathon. And a number of Central Albertans should be in the middle of the mix. Central Alberta: Access Prosperity is leading a regional delegation to Centrallia 2012 — a business-to-business match-making forum that’s expected to attract some 600 attendees from central North America and countries around the world. Each will complete a profile and identify other participants of interest, with this data then used to arrange a series of 30-minute, oneon-one meetings.

“You’re guaranteed 16 meetings,” said Central Alberta: Access Prosperity manager Gary Slipp, adding that even more could be scheduled after hours. The list of industries represented at Centrallia is long and varied, with manufacturing, transportation, agri-business, food processing, biotechnology, information technology, tourism, energy, education and construction among the sectors. Slipp has participated in two previous Centrallias as a member of Calgary Economic Development, where he worked previously. “Once you get there and see the success stories that come out of it, it’s just remarkable.” Registrants have the option of cancelling after they see the list of attendees, noted

Slipp. “Over the last three years, I’ve taken about 23 or 24 companies and none of them have cancelled their registration. They always find good value.” A half dozen Central Alberta companies and organizations have already committed to take part. In addition to leading the group, Central Alberta: Access Prosperity will have a display booth and will arrange to meet with companies that might be interested in locating here, and also with other organizations that could produce positive relationships for the region. Additional information can be found at the Centrallia website at www.centrallia. com. Help with registrations can be obtained by contacting Lesli Rentz of Central Alberta: Access Prosperity at 403-356-4935 or lesli.rentz@accessprosperity.ca The registration deadline is Aug. 31. hrichards@reddeeradvocate.com

Enbridge confident it can meet pipeline safety demands BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — Pipeline and utility company Enbridge is confident it can meet all of the safety demands by the B.C. government for the company’s proposed Northern Gateway pipeline project, chief executive Patrick Daniel said Thursday. “We feel absolutely confident that we can do that,” Daniel told a conference call to discuss the company’s latest quarterly results. The B.C. government said last month the company must include “world-leading” plans to prevent and respond to a marine or land oil spill as well ensure aboriginal and treaty rights are addressed in order to win the province’s support. The province also wants to receive what

it calls a “fair share” of the economic benefits that reflects the risk borne by the province. The comments by the company came as it reported a second-quarter profit of $11 million or a penny per share on $5.72 billion in revenue, down sharply from $302 million or 40 cents per share on $6.94 billion in revenue a year ago due to unrealized losses on a hedging program. Excluding one-time items, Enbridge reported an adjusted profit of $277 million or 36 cents per share, up from $258 million or 34 cents per share a year ago. The average analyst estimate had been for 38 cents per share of adjusted earnings and $5.18 billion in revenue, according figures compiled by Thomson Reuters. The company attributed the year-overyear improvement in adjusted earnings to

increased contributions from its Canadian Mainline and Spearhead Pipeline, which benefited from strong volumes. The gains were partially offset by lower earnings from Enbridge Gas New Brunswick and increased financing costs. RBC Capital Markets analyst Robert Kwan, who rated Enbridge an “outperform” with average risk, said the results were roughly in line with expectations. “The liquids pipelines and gas distribution segments were close to our estimates with modestly lower-than-forecast results from sponsored investments and higher corporate costs being mostly offset by better-than-expected results from gas pipelines, processing and energy services,” Kwan wrote in a note to clients.

MARKETS CLOSE TORONTO — North American stock markets pulled back on Thursday as traders were disappointed with the outcome of the European Central Bank’s attempt to tackle the debt crisis in the region.

Hopes were that the EBC would announce more immediate steps, considering the ECB president’s pledge last week to do “whatever it takes” to keep the euro intact, but those expectations were quickly dashed, sending markets in Europe lower

as well. Toronto’s S&P/TSX composite index was off 74.83 points to 11,543.70 and the TSX Venture Exchange moved down 17.87 points to 1,171.76. The Canadian dollar was down 0.22 of a cent to 99.26

First Uranium (TSX:FIU.UN), which is winding up its operations, cut Thursday the amount it estimates unitholders will receive to at least 12.5 cents per unit from approximately 22 cents per unit. The company attributed the lower estimate to changes in exchange rates as well as lower than expected gold prices and production from the operations.

Chatenay was a Canadian Wheat Board director at the time, and continued to oppose the board’s monopoly powers in that capacity until 2008. “We had to keep the fire going,” he said. “You don’t swath half your field and then say, ‘That’s good enough.’” Reflecting on his time in jail, Chatenay acknowledged that the experience was “pretty scary at times.” “The 23 days seemed like four or five years. But I wanted to serve every second of that sentence, because if we ever couldn’t or had to pay the fine for some reason, then the feds win.” Even after his release, the conviction remained a burden. “You never knew when it might have some kind of a negative impact. Now that fear is gone, and it’s jubilation all around.” Duffy agreed that their method of protest was difficult, but ultimately worthwhile. “The way this thing has turned out, I’d do it all over again in a heartbeat.” During Wednesday’s rally, Harper praised the group for their symbolic rebellion and credited them with helping end the Canadian Wheat Board monopoly. He also singled out Olds-area farmer Jeff Nielsen, who succeeded Chatenay as District 2 director and continued the marketing freedom campaign, and Henry Vos, another antimonopoly voice on the board. Nielsen said the mood at the gathering was upbeat, with about 700 to 800 people on hand, including Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz. Proponents of a single-desk marketing system remain vocal in their opposition to the changes, and even continue to pursue legal action. They argue an open market will allow big grain companies to take advantage of producers. Duffy, however, thinks farmers will benefit from

increased competition for their grain, and that value-added industries are more likely to develop. “Now you’re going to see a vibrant milling wheat industry in Western Canada and a vibrant durum pasta industry in Western Canada.” Nielsen echoed Duffy’s views, pointing out that farmers who have been growing crops not under the Wheat Board’s control have done all right. “Our pulse crops, our canola crops and that — we’ve successfully marketed them for years on our own.” As for the pardons, Nielsen thinks they correct a past injustice. “It was needed.” Chatenay even sees a bit of humour in his and Duffy’s criminal past. “It’s kind of funny to work with a cellmate and a former jailbird, isn’t it?” hrichards@reddeeradvocate.com

ECB president Mario Draghi elevated expectations of concerted action two weeks ago that policy makers would step in to support Europe’s weakest nations like Spain and Italy with a massive bond-buying program or other aggressive tools. “The ECB has disappointed markets once again after Draghi’s comments (earlier) pumped up expectations,” said BMO senior economist Benjamin Reitzes. “The ECB did the least amount possible in saying it could potentially buy sovereign debt only under certain pre-conditions. With inflation expected to fall below two per cent in 2013 and downside growth risks, the ECB’s lack of bold action to boost the crisis-wracked region borders on irresponsible.” In Europe, Germany’s DAX was down 2.2 per cent at 6,607 while the CAC-40 in France fell 2.7 per cent to 3,232. The FTSE 100 index of leading British shares was down 0.9 per cent at 5,662. “Draghi can talk all he wants, but the trouble is that (the ECB) really isn’t (like) the Fed in the U.S. — it doesn’t have the same capabilities,” said Chris King, portfolio manager at Morgan, Meighen and Associates. “Quite frankly, U.S. markets had a pretty good run, and Europe had a pretty good bounce up in the last little while ... this hasn’t really pulled back that much.” The TSX energy sector was down 1.7 per cent as the September crude contract on the New York Mercantile Exchange closed $1.78 lower to US$87.13 a barrel.

NASA taking big gamble with Mars rover mission BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PASADENA, Calif. — It’s the U.S. space agency’s most ambitious and expensive Mars mission yet — and it begins with the red planet arrival Sunday of the smartest interplanetary rover ever built. It won’t be easy. The complicated touchdown NASA designed for the Curiosity rover is so risky it’s been described as “seven minutes of terror” — the time it takes to go from 13,000 mph (20,920 kph) to a complete stop. Scientists and engineers will be waiting anxiously as the spacecraft plunges through Mars’ thin atmosphere and, in a new twist, attempts to slowly lower the rover to the bottom of a crater with cables. Scientists on Earth won’t know for 14 minutes whether Curiosity lands safely as radio signals from Mars travel to Earth. If it succeeds, a video camera aboard the rover will have captured the most dramatic minutes for the first filming of a landing on another planet. “It would be a major technological step forward if it works. It’s a big gamble,” said American University space policy analyst Howard McCurdy. The future direction of Mars exploration is hanging on the outcome of this $2.5 billion science project to determine whether the environment was once suitable for microbes to live. Previous missions have found ice and signs that water once flowed. Curiosity will drill into rocks and soil in search of carbon and other elements. Named for the Roman god of war, Mars is an unforgiving planet with a hostile history of swallowing man-made spacecraft. It’s tough to fly there and even tougher to touch down. More than half of humanity’s attempts to land on Mars have ended in disaster. Only the U.S. has tasted success. “You’ve done everything that you can think of to ensure mission success, but Mars can still throw you a curve,” said former NASA Mars czar Scott Hubbard, who now teaches at Stanford University. The Mini Cooper-sized spacecraft travelled eight and a half months to reach Mars. In a sort of celestial acrobatics, Curiosity will twist, turn and perform other manoeuvres throughout the seven-minute thrill ride to the surface. Why is NASA attempting such a daredevil move? It had little choice. Earlier spacecraft dropped to the Martian surface like a rock, swaddled in airbags, and bounced to a stop. Such was the case with the much smaller and lighter rovers Spirit and Opportunity in 2004. At nearly a ton, Curiosity is too heavy, so engineers had to come up with a new way to land. Friction from the thin atmosphere isn’t enough to slow down the spacecraft without some help. During its fiery plunge, Curiosity brakes by executing a series of S-curves — similar to how the space shuttle re-entered Earth’s atmosphere. At 900 mph (1,450 kph), it unfurls its huge parachute. It then sheds the heat shield that took the brunt of the atmospheric friction and switches on its ground-sensing radar. Curiosity then jettisons the parachute and fires

close and kicking up dust. Once the rover senses touchdown, the cords are cut. Even if the intricate choreography goes according to script, a freak dust storm, sudden gust of wind or other problem can mar the landing. “The degree of difficulty is above a 10,” said Adam Steltzner, an engineer at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which manages the mission. The rover’s landing target is Gale Crater near the Martian equator. Scientists know Gale was once waterlogged. Images from space reveal mineral signatures of clays and sulfate salts, which form in the presence of water, in older layers near the bottom of the mountain. During its two-year exploration, the plutoniumpowered Curiosity will climb the lower mountain flanks to probe the deposits. As sophisticated as the rover is, it cannot search for life. Instead, it carries a toolbox including a power drill, rock-zapping laser and mobile chemistry lab to sniff for organic compounds, considered the chemical building blocks of life. It also has cameras to take panoramic photos.

On thermal mass heating “Thermal mass” conjures up an idea of some flame heated, red hot and glowing clump of coal that will melt iron. While this depiction is not altogether untrue, in house design, it is definitely not what is being alluded to. Thermal mass is formed by any number of dense materials that can be used for storing heat. The most common form of which is water; as an example, the earth’s oceans absorb enormous amounts of heat at the equator and distribute it around the world as the major ocean currents flow into the north and southern hemispheres. In building construction LORNE concrete floors, masonry, or OJA log walls, all have the ability to absorb heat from a source like a wood or gas fired boiler. This heated mass provides a moderating “inertia” against large fluctuations in a room’s ambient temperature. In solar thermal systems the sun’s rays shine through a window, or onto a solar “thermal panel” and then into the thermal mass by direct radiance, or circulated water; the heat to be released into the room slowly after the sun goes down and the curtains get closed. Thermal mass should be a feature of all new homes that want to utilize a technique for reducing their energy consumption. The concept is definitely not a new one, having first been used by the Romans. Starting around a thousand years ago Scandinavian countries utilized thermal mass for keeping heat in the home long after their fires went out. The Finnish wood stove is an example of a masonry design fireplace / wood stove that has been utilized for eons. Using what is described as a contra-flow design, the Finnish wood stove collects the heat from a nondampened, hot, smokeless fire by imparting the heat of combustion into the large thermal mass of the masonry materials via a convoluted passage that flows down though the fireplace before it exits back up though the chimney. This captured heat is then slowly released back into the house over many hours. Typically a four to six hour fire would allow the masonry furnace to radiate that heat back into the building for twelve to 16 hours. Thermal mass can take on contemporary designs utilizing the aforementioned water, concrete, or masonry materials and integrate them into the building so that their design is unobtrusive if not unnoticeable. Under floor heating can utilize stored heat from insulated water tanks where the water is heated from the sun and supplemented by wood or natural gas on those weeks of low solar gain. The stone fireplace or feature wall can also be designed to serve both an aesthetic function as well as perform their main practical purpose. Thermal mass, in short, allows for the storage of heat and the moderation of ambient temperatures in a building. It can be employed to form a microclimate in your home raising your comfort level, and can be fabricated into so many different forms that it can meet any requirement for functionality or visual appeal. lorne@solartechnical.ca

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — Coke and Pepsi are chasing after the sweet spot: a soda with no calories, no artificial sweeteners and no funny aftertaste. The world’s top soft drink companies hope that’s the elusive trifecta that will silence health concerns about soda and reverse the decline in consumption of carbonated drinks. But such a formula could be years away. That’s because the ingredient that makes soda taste good is also what packs on the pounds: high-fructose corn syrup. Artificial sweeteners like aspartame that are used in diet drinks don’t have any calories but are seen as processed and fake. Natural sweeteners that come from plants present the most promising alternative, but companies haven’t yet figured out how to mask their metallic aftertaste. Despite the complexities, soft drink makers push on in their search. “I can’t say when it will be here, but it’s in the reasonable future,” said Al Carey, who heads the beverage unit for the Americas at PepsiCo Inc., the world’s No. 2 soda maker. There’s good reason that soft drink makers are so eager to tweak their formulas. Once a beloved American treat, sodas are now being blamed for the nation’s bulging waistlines — two-thirds of the country’s adults are overweight or obese, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That, coupled with the growing variety of flavoured waters and sports drinks, has sent per capita soda consumption down 17 per cent to about 1.3 cans a day since its peak in 1998, according to data from Beverage Digest, an industry tracker. In New York City, a ban on the sale of sugary drinks bigger than 16 ounces in restaurants, theatres and stadiums could take effect as early as March. ] The mayor of Cambridge, Mass., proposed a similar ban last month. And in Richmond, Calif., voters will decide in November whether to pass the nation’s first penny-per-ounce tax on soda and other sugary drinks such as fruit juices and teas. All the negative publicity has some once-faithful soda drinkers cutting back. Krista Koster, a 29-year-old who lives in Washington D.C., used to down about two cans of soda a day. Now she’s trying to kick the habit and be more conscious about what she drinks. “I’ve just been hearing how bad soda is,” said Koster, who works in public relations.

Teenager wants more independence Question: This summer our teenager has been spending all of his time with friends, and as a result he’s never available to take part in family activities. What should we do? Jim: Although you’re probably disappointed by his unavailability, it’s likely not cause for concern. Your son’s behavior is part of a normal process that child development experts call “separation and individuation.” Between the ages of 6 and 12, a child’s need to identify with his peer group starts to take precedence over his sense of identification with family. This continues through the teen years and usually concludes with complete separation and independence between the ages of 18 and 20. You can make this transition smoother if you keep in mind the following suggestions from Focus on the Family’s counseling team, which deals with this question occasionally from parents in your position: First, as difficult as it sounds, reassess your own motives. Do you have selfish reasons for wanting your child to stay close? Do you have a hidden emotional need that you’re expecting him to fulfill? Are you afraid of letting go and seeing him make mistakes on his own? If so, you need to realize that these are your problems, not his. Next, find a way to embrace and affirm this shift in your son’s outlook. Allow for separation while helping him realize that he’s wanted at home, too. One way to achieve this might be to host activities for your son’s friends. Organize a summer barbecue or allow him to invite some pals on your next family hike. This will provide you with a window into your son’s peer group as well as a discreet, relaxed opportunity to chaperone his interaction with friends. While there’s certainly a place for family-only activities, there’s no reason why you can’t devise additional outings of a more inclusive nature. Question: I have a huge concern about the music my teenager and his friends are listening to. I know when I was a teenager that the music I listened to affected my attitude and heart. How can I help my son understand that music does affect your heart and mind and that there is posi-

FOCUS ON FAMILY tive music out there to listen to? Juli: There are a lot of parenting challenges that have changed over time, but this one has been around for several generations. Teens and their parents have never agreed on music. The stakes seem higher now than when teens were enthralled with the Beatles. The lyrics of today’s edgiest music are far more graphic and disturbing, describing violent and sexual acts in detail. Many American teens have smartphones or iPods that can play music without disturbing Mom and Dad. That’s why parents must be proactive to stay in touch with what kind of music their kids are listening to. To get the point across to your son, here’s what I would recommend. Print

out the lyrics to the music he is listening to. Then ask him to read them out loud to you. This brings to light the impact of what he is choosing to put in his mind. The next step really depends on your parenting philosophy and on your teen’s age. I would flat out prohibit a young teen from listening to destructive music, but give more freedom for discernment to an older teen who has started making his own choices. If you need help finding good music and getting another perspective on what your teens are listening to, check out our Plugged In website at www. pluggedin.com.

Hot Water Pressure Washers... that use 25% less fuel How Kärcher’s proprietary heating technology achieves fuel savings of 25%...and more! 1 Extra-Efficient Heating Chamber: Kärcher’s efficient burner shoots the flame downward onto a firebrick floor, which deflects the heat back up into the chamber for double-pass heating. The brick both retains the heat as well as deflects it evenly back up, around and through the coil tubing for added heat transfer efficiency.

Double-Pass Coil: Kärcher Classic pressure washers have a double-pass heating coil - a coil within a coil - that forces the water to flow twice through the heating chamber for double exposure to the flame and heat, so the heat goes into the water and not out the exhaust vent, as with other designs.

Pre-Heated Air As Insulation: Kärcher uses outside air as an insulation blanket. Air is drawn into the heating chamber passing through an outer wall, thus creating a thermal insulation barrier while, at the same time, pre-heating the air for better fuel efficiency.

Potential Annual Fuel Savings: Standard Models vs Kärcher Classic* Operating Fuel consumption tests conducted on hot water pressure washers with 4 GPM @ 2000 PSI *Tests were conducted on comparable size pressure washers of four standard machines with either horizontal or updraft vertical burners.

Validating Fuel Efﬁciency: Standard Models vs Kärcher Classic Cooler exhaust vent air means it’s more fuel efficient.

You can determine fuel efficiency by the exhaust vent temperature One way to identify a fuel efficient hot water pressure washer is to measure the heat coming out of the exhaust vent. An efficient burner system will transfer the majority of the heat into the coil and water, not out the exhaust vent. Simply measure the air temperature at the mouth of the exhaust vent to determine the difference. For instance, our tests showed the average exhaust temperature for the standard models was 732°F (388°C) vs. 389°F (198°C) for the Kärcher Classic.

*Always use a temperature gauge to test the exhaust vent temperature. Never test the temperature with your hand or other exposed part of the body.

Jazz and summer a natural fit at Sylvan BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF

they know there’s limited seating.” The couple, along with festival manager Kathy Bradshaw and her team of 40 volunteers, have done a lot of things right over the years — including partnering with local businesses and sponsors.

Dance hall music from her Sylvan Lake childhood prompted Cheryl Fisher to come up with a “crazy idea” back in 2003. The acclaimed jazz singer, who grew up in Edmonton, recalled visiting her grandfather in Sylvan Lake as a child, and being enchanted by the music she heard drifting from the now defunct Varsity Hall dance club. Music and water seemed a natural fit, added Fisher, who began forming a mental picture of jazz musicians playing beside the sparkly lake. “There was something very attractive about the idea.” Along with her saxophone and clarinet playing husband, Eric Allison, Fisher decided to do a bit of arm twisting and calling in of favours from musician friends — and thus Jazz at the Lake was born. The couple, who now live in Sylvan Lake, purposely started small. On the first day of their very first festival, they joined up with seven musicians to perform swing dance music from the ’40s for a small crowd of locals. The next day, a small Dixieland band strolled through town, which seemed to go over well with town residents and businesses. It was all very quaint and enjoyable, said Fisher, who never expected Jazz at the Lake to grow into the huge success it’s since become. But every year, the event “snowballed into a bigger and better festival,” said Allison. “It took on a life of its own.” Jazz at the Lake has since featured musical luminaries such as Oliver Jones, Tommy Banks, P.J. Perry, Michael Kaeshammer, Emilie-Claire Barlow, and drawn appreciative audiences from across Alberta and beyond. Allison estimates that about 60 per cent of the festival crowd still comes from Sylvan Lake and Red Deer, while Photo by RANDY FIEDLER/Advocate staff 20 per cent comes from the rest of CenCheryl Fisher and Eric Allison rehearse in their Sylvan Lake home tral Alberta, and another 20 per cent is from Edmonton, Calgary and even as surrounded by photos of headliners from 10 years of the Jazz At far as Saskatchewan and British Colum- The Lake festival they founded. bia.

Festival founders have deep roots in great music ABOUT JAZZ AT THE LAKE’S FOUNDERS AND REGULAR PERFORMERS Sharon Fisher is one of Central Alberta’s hidden treasures. Although she’s crooned to great acclaim at various big-city venues, (Montreal’s International Jazz Festival billed her as one of the greatest female jazz singers in Canadian history), Fisher rarely performs locally — the exception being at Jazz at the Lake. This summer area residents can hear Fisher sing along with the festival’s Alberta Jazz All-Stars band that also includes her musician husband, Eric Allison, as well as Tommy Banks and John Stowell. Fisher grew up as the fifth of six children in a musically attuned family in Edmonton and later Victoria. She considered herself a “Motown girl,” before becoming a record store manager as a teenager and discovering George Benson’s White Rabbit and the glory of jazz. Although Fisher studied education in college, she also began working on her voice by performing at local gigs. She began thinking of her voice as an instrument that could go beyond delivering song lyrics. “I don’t like things that are fixed and repetitious. Jazz encourages the free movement of your interpretation and improvisation on any song on any given day,” said Fisher, who got her Masters degree in jazz vocals from the University of Miami. It was there that she met Allison, a working jazz musician who was teaching temporarily at the university to cover another instructor’s leave. In Allison, Fisher found her life partner and greatest supporter. The Indiana native said of his wife, “I wanted to help her get her music out to a wider audience, because I think her talent is so supreme . . . Cheryl has the ability to touch an audience more than hardly anyone I’ve ever seen perform. It’s a gift.” Fisher has since performed with P.J. Perry, Banks, Bob Erlandson and studied in Paris, where she also performed with pianist Olivier Caillard. Over the past decade she’s created five recordings that have cemented her international reputation. Fisher’s latest release, Moments Like This, show her to be a subtle improvisor who embraces scat and has “a knack for perfectly placed notes.” Eric Allison admits he didn’t think much of his father’s Count Basie and Stan Kenton records while he was growing up in South Bend, Ind. But sometime while attending junior high school in Sarasota, Fla., Allison “got hit by the jazz virus, never to be cured.” Soon Allison was buying Louis Armstrong albums himself, as well as early jazz recordings by clarinetist Irving Fazola and tenor saxophonist Eddie Miller. “I wanted to know where jazz came from,” he said. That curiosity has never left Allison, a Charlie Parker devotee, who interprets mainstream jazz, bebop, funk, New Orleans second line, swing and Dixieland on his saxophone, flute and clarinet.

Invaders from the One Joke Nebula At the The Watch 2 stars (out of 4) Rated: 14A BY LINDA BARNARD SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE Suburbia is under attack by aliens in feeble comedy The Watch, which has clearly already been overrun by writers from the planet Vulgaria in the One Joke Nebula. Far inferior to the 2011 British surprise indie hit Attack the Block, about teen gang members who save their hood from space invaders, The Watch follows a quartet of bumbling middleaged burb dwellers who form a neighbourhood watch, only to find their quiet streets occupied by aliens. Originally titled Neighborhood Watch, film studio 20th Century Fox shortened the name after a neighbourhood watch volunteer was charged with killing 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in Florida last February. It’s a puzzling decision given this movie has nothing to do with that un-

Indian commuters move past a poster of Bollywood film Jism 2 in Hyderabad, India, Thursday. The movie does have that pesky title, although Bollywood — and the country as a whole — is by no means ready for a porn flick in its public cinemas.

Bawdy of work in Bollywood

a long, sultry kiss in Raja Hindustani (Indian King). Today, Bollywood films are bursting with smooches. Pooja Bhatt’s cousin, the actor Emraan Hashmi, is known as “the kissing king.” With Bollywood increasingly focused on the more liberal Indian diaspora and upwardly mobile urbanites, traditional audiences have turned to regional language cinema, said Bhaskar Mukhopadhyay, a lecturer in cultural studies at the University of London. Leone is not the only Indian woman to profit from the shifting norms. In November, Sherlyn Chopra, a minor Bollywood actress, will be the first Indian featured in Playboy magazine, according to a tweet by Playboy founder Hugh Hefner. Though Playboy is banned in India, the media frenzy has elevated her from bit player to bombshell. As the traditional divide between the good Indian woman in a sari and the bad, sexually available Western woman in jeans breaks down, it is fuel-

ing a backlash. Police in Mumbai, perhaps India’s most cosmopolitan city, have been rounding up young women at bars in a morals campaign led by a hockey-stick wielding cop. The crackdown has used a longignored law that requires anyone consuming alcohol to have a government permit. Several women wearing revealing Western clothes were detained and accused of being prostitutes. In March, police in a New Delhi suburb suggested women be home by 8 p.m. for their own protection, after a woman was gang-raped on the way home from work in a bar. “There is a strong backlash against increasing economic freedom — against a certain kind of Indian woman who likes to wear what she pleases and eat and drink out at restaurants and pubs because she can now afford to,” said Nandini Ramnath, film correspondent for Mint newspaper. “The sad thing is that women like Sherlyn Chopra are not blazing any feminist trail. They are reinforcing a notion that women are objects. They increase anxiety among the self-appointed moral guardians.” Mukhopadhyay says the backlash shows “the reaction of the have-nots, their grievances, their anger.” “There is a small upper class, the so called creamy layer, who can enjoy the benefits of Western media and lifestyle,” he said. “The rest can’t.” Even the filmmakers seem to suffer some ambivalence about their star. The silent presence of someone’s oldfashioned parents lurked in the great ballroom where they unveiled the film to the press last week. Bhatt and her father offered reassurances that they are not trying to sneakily expose India’s children to dirty pictures and that the sex scenes will make no one cringe. At heart, they say, the film is an old fashioned love story. Why back away from the sexiness they claim to embrace? Pooja Bhatt said she wants to get her movie into theatres without trouble and will continue to fight to make “fiercely sensual” films for adult Indian audiences. “Look at the population of the country,” Bhatt said. “Someone is having sex.”

To Evan’s horror, the alien nest and launch pad for staging the Earth invasion is discovered to be in his beloved Costco. “You really can get everything there,” one character reminds him. As with any earthling-vs.-alien battle, there must be an Achilles’ heel

somewhere that helps the good guys take down the bad ones before the credits roll. And The Watch is no exception. It’s north of the heel, of course, right in the spot where all of The Watch’s so-called jokes were born. Pow! Linda Barnard is a syndicated movie critic for the Toronto Star.

For decades, Indian cinematic sexuality was a marvel of indirection. There were swelling songs, innervating rain storms, and jiggly dances, but no onscreen kissing.

After graduating from Northwestern University near Chicago with a Bachelor’s degree in music education, Allison earned a Master’s degree in jazz pedagogy at the University of Miami. But performing was his first love. “I was actually working steadily all the time, six days a week, seven hours a night,” said Allison who was known at live music clubs throughout south Florida through his permanent stint with the popular Billy Marcus Quartet. He went on to record the albums Mean Street Beat and After Hours, and perform with a litany of jazz greats, including Zoot Sims, Ira Sullivan, Paquito d’Rivera, Richie Cole, Scott Hamilton, Eddie “Clearhead” Vinson, and Buddy Tate. Allison also became a band leader, who arranges for other artists. The musician, who relocated to Sylvan Lake after marrying Alberta jazz singer Sharon Fisher in 2000, has since become known on both sides of the border. He’s performed at the Blue Note club in New York City, as well as Toronto’s Montreal Bistro, at the Jacksonville, Indianapolis, Montreal, Edmonton and Calgary jazz festivals. Allison has also played a pops concert with the Florida Philharmonic, toured Japan and Korea, and continues to be music director of the Gold Coast Jazz Society Band. His 30 years as a working pro in Florida’s jazz scene was recently recognized with Allison’s induction into

Local cop Sgt. Bressman (get it?), played by SNL’s Will Forte, can’t resist tormenting the bumbling quartet. But he changes his tune when they bring in evidence that the aliens have landed and, worse yet, they are blending in with the local population and passing themselves off as suburbanites. The guys’ close encounter with a lizard-like alien takes on a party vibe — going on too long in the process — but does generate some laughs. It’s typical of the lazy approach here and part of what has become a SNL calling card where repetition is mistakenly assumed to be the key to humour. A discovery of an alien weapon leads to an orgy of point, shoot and blow up, and a joke about the familiar feel of the green slime extruded by aliens that can’t be retold often enough.

MUMBAI, India — Jism 2 stars a hard-core porn actress, and it does have that pesky title. But it’s not a porn movie. Bollywood is certainly not ready for that. The film, which will be released across India on Friday, is pushing the ever-widening sexual boundaries enjoyed by many in urban India. It shows no frontal nudity — government censors monitoring a film industry that long refused to show onscreen kissing would never clear that — but with its oil massages and fantastic lingerie it promises to be one of the most graphic films in Bollywood history. At the same time, growing sexual freedom has sparked a backlash by traditionalists who have torn down its risque poster, led a crackdown on bars in Mumbai and even advocated an informal curfew for women. First, a few words about the movie’s title. Jism means “body” in Hindi. Director Pooja Bhatt insists there was no double entendre intended. But the title, coupled with the oeuvre of the film’s leading lady, set off alarm bells at Apple, Google and YouTube. Apple rejected the filmmakers’ request to list Jism 2 — a sequel to the 2003 film Jism — on its Movie Talkies app. “They wrote to us saying I’m sorry it’s a rude word, this is porn,” Bhatt said. “We said no it’s not, it’s a legitimate Hindi film and the word j-i-s-m actually means body.” Google ultimately allowed the filmmakers to tag their ads with “jism” and “Sunny Leone,” and YouTube allowed the promotional videos, said Alnoor Merchant, head of digital marketing for the film. Apple, though, is insisting the filmmakers either remove the promotional photos of Leone or restrict the content with an adult rating, he said. The film has already caused a minor stir in Mumbai, where filmmakers had to remove posters featuring a glowing image a woman’s arched naked body draped in a wet white sheet after a local politician complained. “You’ll always have these two polarities,” said Mahesh Bhatt, Pooja’s

Metal band Slipknot ready to soldier on NEW ALBUM A TRIBUTE TO FORMER BASSIST PAUL GRAY BY THE CANADIAN PRESS It’s been over two years since Slipknot suffered the loss of bassist Paul Gray, but lead singer Corey Taylor says the band isn’t ready to put their masks down. They’re ready to continue on. “We had lost one of the founding members of our band and one of the key musical and creative forces and a brother,” says Taylor, 38. “It was shocking. I needed time to figure out what it all meant and what we should do.” Together, the band decided how they would continue without Gray. They chose to honour his memory by releasing a compilation album chronicling the last 12 years of their music. The album, Antennas to Hell, is meant not only to be a tribute to the late Gray, but also to the band’s fans. “We’ve had some uncanny success at radio with certain songs and whatnot, but at the same time, we’ve also had these songs that the fans have told us that they need to hear,” says Taylor. He says it was easy to pick the songs for the album, which was released on July 24, including fan favourites Wait and Bleed and Psychosocial, one of his favourites. “It’s a song that never ends,” he says. “We would get to the end of the song and the guys would launch right back into that (first) riff just because it’s so much fun to play.” Slipknot’s remaining eight members took to the stage last June for its Memorial World Tour, which was dedicated to Gray. “It took us a long time to kind of wrap our heads around why we should do it,” says Taylor. “Everything we do has a purpose, everything we do has a reason. It took us awhile to figure out the why.” When Gray died, Taylor says the band was getting multiple offers to do tours, but they just weren’t ready to get on the stage without him. “It was almost not insulting, but it was grotesque at the time,” says Taylor. “I was like, ‘Really? Can we not just grieve right now?”’ Taylor says touring has certainly

‘THERE’S NOT A MOMENT OF THE DAY, WHETHER I’M ON TOUR OR NOW, THAT I DON’T THINK ABOUT PAUL. I WAS JUST REALLY PROUD TO BE IN A BAND WITH HIM, TO KNOW HIM AND TO SHARE THIS WITH HIM.’ — SLIPKNOT LEAD SINGER COREY TAYLOR

helped the grieving process, but he’s not sure that process will ever stop. “There’s not a moment of the day, whether I’m on tour or now, that I don’t think about Paul,” he says. “I was just really proud to be in a band with him, to know him, to be able to share this with him.” There are no plans to replace Gray, says Taylor, or have someone wear his trademark coveralls and mask. “That would be like trying to replace an arm or a leg or your own mind,” he says. “I don’t think there will ever be a replacement for Paul.” Taylor says Slipknot isn’t in a rush to go into the recording studio for a new album, but they’ve been writing lyrics here and there. “We’ve all kind of started thinking about the fact that we do have to go into a studio without Paul,” he says, adding Gray was the glue when recording songs. “Without that force in the studio, we don’t know what that would be like. “When the time is right, we’ll go for it the way we always have.” In the meantime, Slipknot is currently touring in the U.S. and will make two stops in Canada, where they will be headlining both the Heavy TO and Heavy MTL music festivals in Toronto and Montreal on Aug. 11 and 12. “Some of the craziest audiences I’ve ever seen are in Canada,” says Taylor. One of Slipknot’s first concerts in Canada was at Ozzfest in B.C. in 1999. “I can remember just stepping out on the stage in this sea of crazy people just going off and I was like, ‘Wow, alright, Canada’s got it going on.”’

Anything Goes goes to Toronto BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — The Tony Award-winning revival of Cole Porter’s Anything Goes is coming to Toronto. David Mirvish says the show — which stars Rachel York as Reno Sweeney — will play in the city from July 16 to Aug. 18 next summer. The show replaces Honeymoon in Vegas in the Mirvish 2012-13 subscription season.

That show had been set to have its world premiere in Toronto and its star, Tony Danza, was recently in the city to talk up the production. However, Mirvish said scheduling conflicts have forced a change. Anything Goes won three 2011 Tony Awards, including best revival of a musical. Hit songs in the show include You’re the Top, I Get a Kick Out of You and It’s De-Lovely.

RED DEER COUNTY BEAUTIFICATION

Sex abuse dilemma Dear Annie: Many years ago, I suspected my exhusband of sexually abusing our daughter, “Mary.” There was opportunity and some evidence. I didn’t actually see anything. In and out of denial, I didn’t know what to do, and so I didn’t do anything. But it’s tormented me. Several years ago, Mary told me she believed she was sexually abused as a child, but didn’t know exactly who the perpetrator was. Her details were hazy, but the statements she made about the abuse confirmed my suspicion. BeMITCHELL cause she was going through & SUGAR a difficult time, I decided to hold off on telling her. That was a big mistake. Mary had just re-established a relationship with her father after having been estranged for years. Since then, she has read a book on sexual abuse and is trying to fill in the blanks. At her request, I also read the book. Now she feels she knows who it was, but the person she holds responsible could not possibly be the right one. I believe she is having false memories. But she feels she has worked through it and at times seems to be doing well. Other times, she still seems fragile. My question is: Should I tell her the truth about her father or let her continue to believe it was the other guy? I have prayed about this. I believe the right thing to do is to tell her the truth, but I don’t want to hurt her more. We live in different cities, so getting together with her has been difficult. I don’t want to do this over the phone, and I’d rather do it at her place, not mine. Advice? — Anonymous Dear Anonymous: We recognize that some parents, when faced with the possibility that a spouse is abusing their child, become paralyzed with denial. But this was a terrible betrayal of your daughter. You were supposed to protect her. Please don’t compound your culpability by withholding information because you can’t seem to find the right moment to tell her. Since you aren’t sure how to approach this, please contact RAINN (rainn.org) at 1-800-656-HOPE (1-800656-4673), and ask for help. Today.

Unlikely story leads crying readers to Booker Prize list

A mystery not to be missed Miss Me When I’m Gone By Emily Arsenault William Morrow THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Miss Me When I’m Gone, begins with a newspaper article detailing the death of author Gretchen Waters, who fell down a flight of stairs after a reading. At first it seems an accident, but details converge to lead Jamie, Gretchen’s friend from college, to believe it might have been murder. Gretchen made a splash with her memoir, Tammyland, that had been lauded by critics as a “honky-tonk Eat, Pray, Love,” and passages from that book, in praise of the female stars of country music, are interspersed with Jamie’s narrative as she sorts through Gretchen’s papers. She discovers that her work in progress had been about looking for both her biological father and her mother’s killer, who may or may not be the same person. We get to see a lot of Gretchen’s writing persona, which provides much needed insight into a character we never actually meet. Arsenault is best when unpacking the threads of a long-term friendship, as she proved in last year’s In Search of the Rose Notes. The onesidedness of Jamie and Gretchen’s friendship here does not make it any less poignant. The mystery wraps up well, though the climactic confrontation scene is slightly over the top in an otherwise evocative and lovely story.

Rachel Joyce still seems gobsmacked by the recent news that her debut novel, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, is in contention for the prestigious Man Booker Prize. “It was just completely out of the blue, it completely threw me,” the 50-year-old mother of four said this week during an interview. “I just never thought of myself in that bracket.” Joyce is not the only up-and-comer vying for the Booker, which honours the best works from the United Kingdom, the Commonwealth and the Republic of Ireland. The 12-book long list was notable for showcasing a new crop of literary voices, including 27-yearold London resident Ned Beauman for The Teleportation Accident. There are no Canadians in the hunt this year. Joyce, who has written about 20 radio plays, says she has always had a “little dream” of writing a book. When her father was in the end stages of throat cancer, she turned to the page for solace and Harold Fry emerged. First produced as a radio play, the novel chronicles the titular character’s pilgrimage to visit Queenie Hennessy, a former co-worker who is dying of cancer. Harold initially sets out to mail a letter to his old acquaintance, and then spontaneously keeps walking when he reaches the mailbox. Harold’s conviction that Queenie will not die as long as he keeps walking, was always at the core of the novel. “The idea that stayed with me is just the idea of, ‘I’m going to walk for you and you will keep living.’ It’s that idea of having a very modern faith, which is also a very old faith, but a very ordinary faith,” she said. As he walks, Harold

meditates on his past, including his troubled relationship with his son. Joyce says her father — who died before the book was finished — shares many traits with her protagonist. “I don’t know whether it’s a very English thing, but I think it’s a generational thing. My dad was a war child and not particularly good at expressing how he felt,” she said. “And I find that very moving ... and I think we all have those moments where we don’t know quite how to communicate all the feelings we’ve got.” The novel — which is in Canadian stores now and was published in the U.K. in March — has already struck a remarkable chord with the public.

Joyce has been approached by readers who are weeping about the novel, and who want to share stories of their lives and their own voyages. The response echoes the one that greeted Robert James Waller’s Bridges of Madison County released in 1992. “Exactly the same,” Joyce said when the “Madison County” comparison is suggested. “I’ve had quite a lot of people crying and sometimes I don’t even quite know why, but I know that there’s a very big story (there).... I definitely feel I’ve given something of myself in the book but what’s really moving is that people have read it and given something back and I hadn’t anticipated that at all.”

Rachel Joyce, author of The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry.

Annan quits as UN envoy BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BEIRUT — Kofi Annan announced his resignation Thursday as Syria’s peace envoy and issued a blistering critique of world powers, bringing to a dramatic end a frustrating six-month effort that failed to achieve even a temporary cease-fire as the country plunged into civil war. In a reflection of that escalation, rebels used a captured tank to shell a military air base near Aleppo — one of the first known uses of heavy weapons by the insurgents. Speaking to reporters in Geneva, Annan blamed the Syrian government’s intransigence, the growing militancy of Syrian rebels and a divided Security Council that failed to forcefully back his effort. Since he took on the job, Russia and China have twice used their veto power to block strong Western- and Arab-backed action against President Bashar Assad’s regime. The White House said Annan’s resignation highlights the failure of Russia and China to support action against Assad and called the regime’s continued violence against its own people “disgusting.” “It is impossible for me or anyone to compel the Syrian government and also the opposition to take the steps to bring about the political process,” said Annan, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate and former UN secretary general. “You have to understand: As an envoy, I can’t want peace more than the protagonists, more than the Security Council or the international community for that matter.” Annan singled out the regime for blame for the violence. But he also said the opposition’s in-

SYRIA ‘YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND: AS AN ENVOY, I CAN’T WANT PEACE MORE THAN THE PROTAGONISTS, MORE THAN THE SECURITY COUNCIL OR MORE THAN THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY FOR THAT MATTER.’ — KOFI ANNAN

creasing militarization had contributed to dooming his six-point peace plan, which included a cease-fire and a Syrian-led political process to end the crisis. “The bloodshed continues, most of all because of the Syrian government’s intransigence, and continuing refusal to implement the six-point plan, and also because of the escalating military campaign of the opposition — all of which is compounded by the disunity of the international community,” he said. UN Secretary-General Ban Kimoon said he accepted the resignation with deep regret, adding that the search was under way for a successor to Annan, who will stay on until Aug. 31. Diplomacy can succeed only when “the parties to the violence make a firm commitment to dialogue, and when the international community is strongly united in support,” Ban said in a statement. Annan had managed, at least in theory, to get world powers behind his plan — including the Syrian government and its allies in Iran, Russia and China — although his appeals for peace were ignored on the ground. The regime and the rebels

blamed each other for the violence, and Russia and China said attempts to sanction the regime ignored violations by the opposition. Asked about Annan’s resignation, the White House again called for Assad to step aside. The Syrian leader “continues to brutally murder his own people, to use heavy weapons in assaults on civilian population centres, to call on his military leaders to kill the Syrian people in his name,” White House press secretary Jay Carney said. “It is disgusting and only highlights the absolute requirement that, for the future of the Syrian people, Assad must step aside.” Russia’s UN envoy Vitaly Churkin said Moscow regrets Annan’s decision and Syria’s Foreign Ministry also expressed “dismay.” Alexei Pushkov, head of the foreign affairs committee in Russia’s lower house of parliament, blamed the West. “Regrettably, the so-called Friends of Syria led by the United States have encouraged the opposition and sought to put pressure only on the Syrian government,” he told the RIA Novosti news agency.

Amnesty International called Annan’s departure the “culmination of a string of failures” and inaction by the UN Security Council that allowed the regime’s “murderous campaign” to continue. Annan was appointed envoy in February, representing the United Nations and the Arab League. But he was unable to calm the crisis, which began in March 2011 with mostly peaceful protests against the regime but has now morphed into a civil war. According to activists, more than 19,000 people have been killed. Even though Annan’s plan appeared doomed from the start, world powers had few options to help beyond diplomacy — in part because of fears that any military intervention could make matters worse. Syria’s close ties to Iran and the Islamic militant group Hezbollah in Lebanon mean that the conflict has the potential to draw in the country’s neighbours. As the battle for the country intensifies, the rebels used a tank they captured from Syrian soldiers to pound a military air base Thursday in the country’s largest city, Aleppo — an escalation that all but guarantees an even bloodier civil war. Since opposition forces first started taking up arms against the regime, they have suffered from the huge disparity with Syria’s well-armed military, which has tanks, fighter jets and helicopter gunships at its disposal. It’s not clear whether the rebels will be able to use tanks in a sustained way, as they require fuel and ammunition that is in short supply. But their ability to capture such weapons suggests growing co-ordination and sophistication.

UNCERTAIN FUTURE

EGYPT

Government formed under Brotherhood’s aegis sworn in THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CAIRO, Egypt — Egypt’s Islamist president swore in his first new government Thursday, led by a devout Muslim and including five members of his Muslim Brotherhood in unglamorous but ideal ministries for a group whose long-term aim is to Islamize the Arab nation. The Cabinet is a far cry from the inclusive administration that President Mohammed Morsi has repeatedly promised. No other political factions came on board to join. Women and Christians received only token representation, and figures from the uprising that ousted Hosni Mubarak last year were left out. The choices seemed aimed at playing down fears that the country’s first ever government formed under the Muslim Brotherhood’s aegis will seek to impose quick and radical change. Seven members of the outgoing, military-backed government, including the foreign, finance and culture ministers, have also kept their jobs, a move by Morsi and Prime Minister Hesham Kandil that may have been designed to inspire stability. Also keeping his post as defence minister is Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi, who served in the role for 20 years under Mubarak and was Egypt’s military ruler for 17 months after Muabrak’s ouster. The military said several weeks ago that it will decide who serves in the post, and Morsi and Kandil made no move to resist, a reflection of the overwhelming powers retained by the military after Morsi took office June 30. Kandil, the obscure water and irrigation minister that Morsi picked to lead the new government as prime minister, sought to defend the makeup of his Cabinet. He called on Egyptians to rally behind it, promising it would represent all the people. “We are all Egyptians in the Arab Republic of Egypt. The coming period is not easy, to say the least, and we are all in the same boat,” he told a news conference hours ahead of the swearing-in ceremony. “This is the people’s government. It does not belong to this or that trend.” He also paid tribute to last year’s 18-day anti-Mubarak uprising, saying his government will work toward realizing the goals of its slogan: “Bread, freedom and social justice.” The government takes office at a time when tensions are mounting over the country’s seemingly endless woes — from tenuous security and sectarian violence to growing popular discontent over widespread power and water outages and shortages.

BRIEFS

One passenger dead in Illinois Megabus crash; 38 in hospitals LITCHFIELD, Ill. — Illinois State Police say the person who died in the crash of a double-decker Megabus was a female passenger, but they have not disclosed her name or her age. Trooper Doug Francis says 38 people were taken to hospitals for injuries following the Thursday afternoon crash on Interstate 55 near Litchfield. Of those, 33 were taken by ambulance to nearby hospitals, two were flown by helicopter to St. Louis hospitals and three were flown by helicopter to a hospital in Springfield. Francis says investigators are trying to confirm a report that the bus blew a tire. He says a strong thunderstorm has made crash reconstruction at the site difficult. The highway reopened Thursday evening. Before that, traffic was backed up for eight miles in each direction.

2,500-year-old chocolate may have been used by Mayas as condiment MEXICO CITY — Archaeologists say they have found traces of 2,500-year-old chocolate on a plate in the Yucatan peninsula, the first time they have found ancient chocolate residue on a plate rather than a cup, suggesting it may have been used as a condiment or sauce with solid food. Experts have long thought cacao beans and pods were mainly used in pre-Hispanic cultures as a beverage, made either by crushing the beans and mixing them with liquids or fermenting the pulp that surrounds the beans in the pod. Such a drink was believed to have been reserved for the elite. But the discovery announced this week by Mexi-

co’s National Institute of Anthropology and History expands the envelope of how chocolate may have been used in ancient Mexico. It would also suggest that there may be ancient roots for traditional dishes eaten in today’s Mexico, such as mole, the chocolate-based sauce often served with meats. “This is the first time it has been found on a plate used for serving food,” archaeologist Tomas Gallareta said. “It is unlikely that it was ground there (on the plate), because for that they probably used metates (grinding stones).” The traces of chemical substances considered “markers” for chocolate were found on fragments of plates uncovered at the Paso del Macho archaeological site in Yucatan in 2001.

McDonald’s, Burger King, KFC accused of violating Chilean law banning toys in kids’ meals SANTIAGO, Chile — A new law in Chile aims to take some of the fun out of fast-food by forcing McDonald’s, Burger King, KFC and other restaurants to stop including toys and other goodies with children’s meals. The companies are still using toys to draw in Chile’s increasingly chubby children more than a month after the ban took effect on June 7, Sen. Giudo Girardi said as he filed a formal complaint Wednesday with the health ministry. “These businesses know that this food damages the health of children and they know that the law is in effect. They’re using fraudulent and abusive means,” Girardi said. The complaint also targets makers of cereal, popsicles and other products that attract children with toys, crayons or stickers, as well as markets that sell the food. If Chile’s health ministry upholds his allegations, the companies could be forced to remove the goodies or face nominal fines. The Associated Press left messages seeking reaction with spokesmen for McDonald’s Corp., Burger King Worldwide Inc. and KFC’s owner, Yum Brands Inc.

A drought-damaged ear of corn is in a field in Westfield, Ind., Wednesday. More than half of U.S. counties are classified by the federal government as natural disaster areas mostly because of the drought.

40225G30-H3

ST. LOUIS — Extreme drought conditions have spread in several U.S. Midwest states, the country’s latest report showed Thursday, as corn and soybean crops wither and food prices rise in the worst dry spell in decades. Nearly two-thirds of the lower 48 states — not including Alaska and Hawaii — is experiencing some drought, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor. More than half of all U.S. counties have been declared natural disaster areas. Congress was hurrying on a disaster relief package for livestock producers before its monthlong recess. Feed prices are soaring, and producers don’t have many farmers’ benefit of crop insurance. The price of corn — the U.S. leads the world in corn production — has risen 50 per cent since June because of the drought, said Rep. Virginia Foxx. But some anti-tax groups see the disaster relief as another government bailout, and it was unlikely to receive Senate consideration before Congress adjourns. The new drought survey, based on conditions as of Tuesday morning, found that the country’s area experiencing extreme drought — the second highest classification behind exceptional drought — rose nearly 2 percentage points from the previous week, to 22.3 per cent. This was due to a worsening of conditions in Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and Oklahoma. The area facing exceptional drought also increased, from 2.38 per cent to about 3 per cent. Recent rains still won’t be sufficient to salvage parched crops, National Drought Mitigation Center climatologist Brian Fuchs said. The precipitation “probably held off the intensification for a week or so. But the heat is going kick back in, and we’re going be in the same situation,” Fuchs said. As of this week, nearly half of the nation’s corn crop was rated poor to very poor, according to the USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service. About 37 per cent of the U.S. soybeans were lumped into that category. Nearly three-quarters of U.S. cattle acreage is in drought-affected areas, the survey showed. On Wednesday, the U.S. Agriculture Department added 218 counties from 12 drought-stricken states to its list of natural disaster areas, bringing the overall total to 1,584 counties in 32 states. The vast majority received the designation because of drought The distinction makes farmers and ranchers eligible for federal aid that includes low-interest emergency loans. “In addition to the large geographic footprint of this year’s drought, the quick onset and rapid ramping up of intensity, coupled with extreme temperatures and subsequent impacts, has really left an imprint on those affected and has set this drought apart from anything we have seen at this scale over the past several decades,” wrote Mark Svoboda with the National Drought Mitigation Center. The financial fallout appears to be intensifying. The latest MidAmerica Business Conditions Index, released Wednesday, showed that the drought and global economic turmoil is hurting business in nine Midwest states, boosting worries about the prospect of another recession. Ranchers say the extreme conditions have devastated hay supplies and pastureland. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced Wednesday that some 3.8 million acres of conservation land would be opened for emergency haying and grazing.

Apps help avoid hours of waiting BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Patients across Canada are increasingly turning to websites and apps to get a better sense of the wait times they face at walk-in clinics and hospitals. Appletree Medical Group Inc., has been offering wait time information for dozens of clinics in the Greater Toronto Area and around Ottawa for about 10 years, said Dr. Tim Bell, the company’s medical director. Web and mobile updates are provided every 15 minutes, allowing patients to scan a list of nearby clinics and head to the one that is the least busy. Providing data about the most-packed waiting rooms helps to more efficiently spread traffic across all the company’s clinics, Bell said. “Seven days a week across the Ottawa area a patient can see a physician within an hour on average and now we’re doing the same thing in Toronto,” he said. “We have about 450,000 patients that we take care of regularly between the GTA and Ottawa, so the patients can decide if they want to see their family doctor, who may have a two-hour wait, or they could go

up the street and see a colleague of theirs. “It certainly gives them options.” Some patients have said they also appreciate choosing between a male or female doctor, Bell added. Alberta Health Services has been running a similar service for hospital emergency rooms in Calgary for about a year, and in recent weeks went online with wait times for Edmonton ERs. Around 17,000 Apple users and 1,000 Android users have now downloaded a mobile app to get ER updates, while a website that refreshes every few minutes is averaging about 30,000 visits monthly. Alberta Health Services is happy with how well the automated system is providing estimates for patients, although it’s not something that can ever be completely perfected, said spokesman Dave Brewin. “We’re seeing very good accuracy but you have to take into consideration that there’s very ill people coming into the emergency departments and there’s not extremely ill people coming in,” he said, adding that patients without a serious medical condition

should know they might face longer wait times than what they see online. “If you’re highly acute you’re obviously going to wait a heck of a lot less than what you see online there. And if you’ve got a much less acute issue, you’re going to wait longer than what you see online. “And I think that’s fairly expected when people are looking at these things, they understand.” In Quebec, a company called Bonjour-sante takes a different approach and is betting that patients are willing to pay to skip the walk-in clinic lines. For $12 plus tax, users can input their postal code and then choose a nearby location and time for a same-day appointment with a doctor.

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has a message for new mothers: Breastfeed your baby, if possible. Starting in September, dozens of city hospitals will ask mothers of newborns to listen to talks about why their breast milk is better than the sample formulas many hospitals offer for free. Then the women can decide for themselves, says the mayor. Bloomberg has been ribbed as the city’s “nanny” for pushing programs aimed at making New Yorkers healthier — from clamping down on big sugar-loaded drinks to creating no-smoking zones in public places. Now, under the “Latch On NYC” initiative, 27 of 40 hospitals in the city that deliver babies will no longer hand out promotional formula unless it’s for medical reasons, or at a mother’s request. “Most public health officials around the country think this is a great idea,” Bloomberg said at a City Hall briefing earlier this week. “The immunities that a mother has built up get passed on to the child, so the child is healthier.” He says formulas remain an acceptable solution if a mother cannot breastfeed, whether for health reasons or because her schedule does not allow it. The New York initiative is part of a national effort involving more than 600 hospitals, says Marsha Walker, a registered nurse and executive director of the National Alliance for Breastfeeding Advocacy, a non-profit based in Weston, Mass. In 2011, Rhode Island became the first state to stop giving away free formula to mothers while educating them on the benefits of nursing. Massachusetts followed suit.

ATLANTA — More serious illnesses from West Nile virus have been reported so far this year than any since 2004, health officials said Wednesday. Through the end of July, 241 human cases have been reported in 22 states, including four deaths. Texas, especially around the Dallas area, has seen the bulk of them. Health officials believe the mild winter, early spring and very hot summer have fostered breeding of the mosquitoes that spread the virus to people. Most West Nile infections are reported in August and September, so it’s not clear how bad this year will be. But it doesn’t look good. “Unless the weather changes dramatically, we’ll see more cases (in 2012) than we have in the last couple of years,” said Roger Nasci of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. He is chief of the CDC branch that tracks insectborne diseases. Mosquitoes pick up the virus from birds they bite and then spread it to people. Only about one in five infected people get sick. One in 150 infected people will develop severe symptoms including neck stiffness, disorientation, coma and paralysis. Of the 241 cases reported so far this year, 144 were severe cases in which the virus spread to the brain and nervous system and caused encephalitis or other problems. The last time so many serious cases were reported this early was 2004, when the number was 154. West Nile virus was first reported in the United States in 1999 in New York, and then gradually spread across the country. Its peak occurred in 2002 and 2003, when severe illnesses numbered nearly 3,000 and deaths surpassed 260. Last year was a mild one, with fewer than 700 human cases reported. In recent years, the general pattern has been cases scattered across the country along with hot spots with more illnesses. The recurring hot spots include southeast Louisiana, central and southern California, and areas around Dallas, Houston, Chicago and Phoenix. Those areas seem to have a combination of factors that include the right kinds of virus-carrying mosquitoes and birds, along with large numbers of people who can be infected, Nasci said. The best way to prevent West Nile disease is to avoid mosquito bites. Insect repellants, screens on doors and windows and wearing long sleeves and pants are some of the recommended strategies. Also, empty standing water from buckets, kiddie pools and other places to discourage mosquito breeding. Online: CDC West Nile page: http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/ dvbid/westnile/index.htm
