Surpassing expectations A near-death experience has given 21-year-old Austin McGrath a new outlook on life

Photos by BRENDA KOSSOWAN/Advocate staff BY BRENDA KOSSOWAN ADVOCATE STAFF Debi McGrath had refused to go in the water ever since her son nearly died of a heart attack while they were swimming together on Friday, May 13, 2011. Then, at about 2:45 p.m. on Saturday, she dove off the pier at Sylvan Lake to join Austin, 22 for the last few minutes of a 7.5-kilometre swim he had just completed in front of his mom, his dad, Darryl and a few dozen others in support of the Heart and Stroke Foundation’s Red Deer area office. Austin said afterward that he didn’t realize at first that the person who jumped in with him was his mother, who was deeply traumatized by his heart attack and was unable to watch him train for Saturday’s event. “I was surprised. She wouldn’t even go near the water. I was going to cry, but I held it in because I didn’t want to cry in front of hundreds of people,” said Austin, wolfing down his seventh hamburger paddy since stroking his way across the southeast side of the lake to Petro Beach and back. He had expected to swim five kilometres in about three to four hours with hope of raising $5,000 to $10,000 to support Heart and Stroke Foundation research and programs. He ended up swimming farther than expected and in less time, completing the swim in 3.5 hours total time, including a break on the accompanying sail-

boat to have a lunch and rehydrate. Debi couldn’t watch. Helping organizers get her son’s project underway, the Red Deer mother’s hands shook and she fought back tears as she described the ordeal her only child had overcome in the months since his heart attack and the discovery that he is affected by a genetic heart disorder. Austin turned 21 in hospital on May 23, 201 — unconscious and struggling to survive. As his medical condition stabilized, he had to relearn how to sit up, how to talk and how to walk. Few people on the pier for his swim on Saturday were more amazed than Red Deer emergency services technician Tom Patrick, who was the first responder to the scene that fateful day at the Red Deer Rec Centre, were mom and son had gone to swim lengths together. Patrick had not seen McGrath since the day he and other members of his team were called to the pool, where they found an apparently lifeless man on the deck. Another swimmer and a lifeguard had been performing mouth-to-mouth resuscitation while awaiting the ambulance. The emergency medical services team had to defibrillate three times to get the young athlete’s heart started.

Austin was rushed to hospital in Red Deer and then transferred to Foothills Hospital in Calgary, where he began what should have been a very long period of recovery. Patrick volunteered his time on Saturday to ride along in an accompanying sailboat in case of a medical emergency. He had been on vacation the day the family came by to thank members of his crew for their help, so found it “really rewarding” to get a chance to meet Austin and join his support crew on Saturday.

TORONTO — A new study suggests Canadian employees can expect to see their salaries rise by an average of 2.9 per cent next year. That increase is slightly more than the 2.8 per cent increase projected for in 2012 and close to the three per cent increase expected south of the border in 2013. However, the rise is much lower than projected yearly increases of around 3.7 per cent before the 2008-2009 economic downturn. The survey of employers conducted by global management consulting firm Hay Group says workers in the mining, oil and gas, and chemicals fields will be the biggest winners. But those working in health care and in government are expected to receive the lowest increases. More than 500 Canadian organizations provided details of their planned salary adjustments for 2013 for the Hay Group survey, which was conducted in June and July. Workers in the oil and gas sector are expected to see a 3.9 per cent jump, followed by mining, at 3.6 per cent. “However, these higher forecasts are more of a reflection of the demand for key skills — and the competition for skilled talent — rather than ’boom times’,” the company writes in the report. By province, it is resource-rich regions that will lead the way. Alberta, with a 3.6 per cent increase will lead the country, followed by Newfoundland at 3.4 per cent Saskatchewan at 3.2 per cent. Those working in health care are expected to see

Careless driving charge laid following fatal crash near Three

POPE HOLDS PRAYER AT SUMMER RESIDENCE

BY ADVOCATE STAFF A charge of careless driving has been laid against one of the drivers involved in a fatal collision on Hwy 21 near Three Hills on Aug. 4. Sherry Ann Kirk of Three Hills died enroute to hospital and two other people were injured during the collision involving a truck hauling a travel trailer, a Jeep SUV and a motorcycle. Sgt. Joe Sangster, head of the Three Hills RCMP detachment, said Jeep collided with the back of the RV unit, which had stopped to wait for another vehicle to make a lefthand turn. The Jeep then flipped onto its side and collided with the northbound motorcycle, said Sangster. Jeep driver Jennifer Dale of Trochu was taken to hospital in Red Deer with serious injuries. She has now been charged with careless driving under the Traffic Safety Act. The driver of the truck that had been hauling the trailer suffered minor injuries. Sangster did not have the ages of the victim or the accused available when contacted on Sunday.

Quake kills 4 in Indonesia Police continue search for body parts west of Toronto THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

THE CANADIAN PRESS

JAKARTA, Indonesia — An Indonesian government official says a powerful weekend earthquake that jolted a northern island has killed four villagers and left a dozen others injured. Sutopo Purwo Nugroho of Indonesia’s Disaster Management Agency said Monday at least four people were killed by falling debris, including a 9-yearold boy. Twelve others were hospitalized with cuts and broken bones. The magnitude-6.3 quake struck Saturday evening 56 kilometres (35 miles) southeast of Palu city on Sulawesi Island as residents were ending their fast on the final day of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. The official says the earthquake damaged 165 houses and buildings in Parigi Mountong and Sigi, the closest districts to the epicenter.

MISSISSAUGA, Ont. — Police were spending another day searching a park west of Toronto where body parts have been discovered. A right foot was found by hikers in Hewick Meadows Park on Wednesday and police found a severed head a day later. On Friday, two hands were found in the Credit River, which flows through the park. Peel Region Police, which are responsible for the area that includes Mississauga, have yet to confirm the body parts are from one person. Investigators believe the remains are female because the foot had yellow painted toenails. Peel Const. George Tudos said Sunday that the ground search was being aided by cadaver dogs and a dive team. They’re hopeful of finding evidence or the re-

maining body parts, but Tudos admits the search would take at least a few days to complete. Meanwhile, police are also investigating after remains were found in east Toronto, but it has not been confirmed whether those remains are human. Police are waiting to hear from the Ontario coroner’s office and Toronto police Const. Wendy Drummond says she didn’t expect the results of the coroner’s review on Sunday. Toronto police contacted Peel police Saturday to notify them of the find, but it was not known if the two discoveries were linked. Several local media outlets reported that a bag containing what appeared to be remains was discovered Sunday near the site in east Toronto where Saturday’s remains were found. But police were quoted as saying it was unknown whether Sunday’s discovery was human remains.

STORIES FROM A1

MCGRATH: ‘It was more about the story.’ “We go through our careers and, a lot of the time, we see stuff that doesn’t really have a positive outcome like this,” said Patrick. “This is a true testament to his lifestyle before he had his incident. He was a healthy guy, he worked out all the time and took care of himself. I think it really helped him recover. We’re just a small link in the chain.” Sylvan Lake nurse Gail Foreman — a vocal activist in her role with Action on Smoking and Health — coached Austin through the swim from the seat of her kayak while her husband, Phil Foreman piloted the boat, powered by its outboard engine. With her son safely ashore, Debi said her impromptu decision to jump into the water may help her get back into the water again and resume working out with her son, who had been an award-winning swimmer and martial artist before his collapse. “Everybody was kind of telling me I needed to jump in the lake and swim back with him,” she said afterward. “I think this has been very therapeutic for me, to watch him swim.” Tammy Oliver-McCurdie, area manager for the Heart and Stroke Foundation, said Austin met his fundraising goal of $10,000 at 2:34 p.m., just 15 minutes before he returned to the pier from where his swim had started earlier in the day. “He’s done a great job, mobilizing this entire event,” said McCurdie. Interviewed before getting into the water, Austin said it was never really about the money. “It was more about the story getting out. I kind of surpassed what everybody thought I could do. I’m supposed to still be in the hospital, in rehab. It’s just people telling me I can’t do something. Well, I can. I just prove them wrong.”

Alberta wants pipeline safety review completed by Nov. 30 THE CANADIAN PRESS

Developer given approval for marina changes BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF The developer behind a proposed Sylvan Lake condominium and marina project has been given approval to change the boat slips. An application went to council last month to redesign the marina so the slips will run on a northsouth line, rather than the existing east-west configuration. The number of slips will stay the same at 179 and the marina’s size also remains unchanged. “The applicant has indicated that the re-orientation is required to streamline functionality and provide a safer design for boat traffic areas,” says a report to council from Tim Schmidt, the town’s director of planning development. Town council approved the changes last Monday. The developers have said they plan to drain and rebuild the marina

with steel walls and a multimillion-dollar dock system. It will also be converted into a “dockominium,” with each slip having its own title for individual sale. The marina revamp will cost about $3.5 million and is part of the $16 million WatersEdge Condominiums & Marina development by Sylvan Lake Harbour, a group of three partners. A four-storey, L-shaped building is planned that wraps around two sides of the marina. All 40 of its residential units will face the lake, with large balconies overhanging the water.

The building should be ready for occupants by the spring of 2014, and the new marina available for use by the May long weekend of 2013. Units in the condominium will range in size from about 1,235 to more than 2,100 square feet. Most include two bedrooms and a den. The condominium will be served by a 94-stall heated parkade, located beneath the building but above the lake’s highwater mark. Council approved the development application for the project in May. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

town library on Sunday afternoon and has been taken by ambulance to hospital in good condition. Police spokesman Chad Orydzuk says the man had gone to hospital on Friday, but that after he was discharged, staff realized he had a potentially-fatal condition. Orydzuk says the man left contact information with the hospital, but staff there told police they weren’t able to find him. Police asked shelter staff, hospitals, and even bus drivers to contact them if they spotted the man because they said he needed immediate medical attention.

EDMONTON — Alberta wants a review into the safety of its vast network of oil and natural gas pipelines to be completed by the end of November. The Energy Resources Conservation Board has released its request for proposals for an independent third-party to conduct the review. The board wants the review to look at how pipeline breaches are responded to, how the integrity of pipelines are managed and the safety of pipelines near bodies of water. The board says it wants to determine if its regulatory rules are good enough and what needs to be improved. The province called for the safety review following three pipeline breaches in Alberta this year, including one that spilled 475,000 litres of oil into the Red Deer River. The deadline for a third-party to apply to conduct the review is Aug. 28. The request for proposals says the final report of the pipeline safety review is to be made public. Environmental, land rights and other groups complained earlier this month that the Alberta government was shutting them out of the pipeline review process.

Canadian bribery law weak SNC-Lavalin, the Montreal-based engineering and construction firm, last week announced the appointment of Robert G. Card as president and chief executive officer to repair the firm’s damaged reputation and unravel the ethical and political tangles in which it ensnared itself. Card, who was undersecretary of energy in the Bush administration from 2001 to 2004, was hired away from the engineering and construction firm CH2M Hill of Englewood, Colo., where he played a large role in designing and building the London Olympic athletic complex. SNC-Lavalin badly needs a housecleaning. Last November, Mexican police arrested Cynthia Vanier in Mexico City — she remains in prison — believing she had organized a possible escape from Libya for one of the sons of Moammar Gadhafi, the Libyan strongman who had been an important client of SNC-Lavalin. Vanier’s boss, SNC-Lavalin construction chief Riadh Ben Aissa, said she was innocent, but then Swiss police arrested him for bribing public

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

City has centennial projects I was interested to read your editorial on the Red Deer College’s proposal that the city make a contribution to RDC’s capital initiatives as a permanent centennial legacy. As has been noted, next year’s city centennial is also the 50th anniversary of the Red Deer College and the 25th anniversary of the Arts Centre. The city has earmarked approximately $300,000 for its centennial celebrations and events. However, it has also approved a suite of capital projects to commemorate the centennial. This route was chosen to appeal to a wide range of the community and recognize the fact that the city’s capital budget has had to be significantly reduced. For the city’s 75th anniversary, the province provided $30 million for the development of the Centrium as a legacy project. The projects that have been branded as “Centennial” include: ● The proposed new skateboard park on the North Hill ● The proposed new spray pool in Rotary Recreation Park ● A major contribution to a permanent history exhibit at the Museum and Art Gallery (MAG) ● Funding for the publishing of a new history book on Red Deer to be

OTHERVIEW officials in North Africa and he was dismissed from SNC-Lavalin. Stephane Roy, vice-president of finance, quit at the same time. CEO Pierre Duhaime said he knew nothing about the matter, but when auditors followed the paper trail they found he had authorized $56 million of unexplained payments by Ben Aissa. Duhaime resigned in March and SNCLavalin had been looking for a new CEO ever since. SNC-Lavalin is a Canadian giant on the international construction and engineering stage. The company reported $7.2 billion in revenues and 28,100 employees in 2011. It is building highways in Alberta and Colombia, hospitals in France, an office tower in Monaco and airports in the Americas, Europe, Russia, Africa, the Caribbean and the Indian Ocean. It continues to operate the Hwy 407 east-west bypass around Toronto and it builds nuclear power plants for Ontario.

It works closely with governments, who are its main clients. Gwyn Morgan, former president of EnCana Corp., became chairman of SNC-Lavalin in 2007, succeeding banker John Cleghorn. In the murky world of government mega-projects, where bidders are often asked for kickbacks, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, representing governments of the industrialized countries, has been trying to set some minimum anti-corruption standards. The OECD Working Group on Bribery complained last year Canada’s Corruption of Foreign Public Officials Act too-narrowly defines the kinds of bribes that are forbidden. Prosecutions are rare and penalties mild. Few police resources have been applied to investigating overseas corrupt practice of Canadian firms. Canada, in short, talks a good game about business ethics overseas but doesn’t do much about it. The Gadhafi family rescue mission in which SNC-Lavalin or its agents may have been involved shows how dangerous it can be for a Canadian firm to

venture into the minefield of Third World public works without firm management control and clear legal limits. It may never become wholly clear who was doing what and who was paying for it in the proposed rescue mission, but it is fairly clear already that someone at SNC-Lavalin was intimately involved with the Gadhafi family and was caught on the wrong side of the Libyan revolution. The use of intermediaries has not saved SNC-Lavalin’s name from damage. The lax state of Canadian bribery law and enforcement gives a Canadian firm little help in refusing the demands of an overseas client. Card, the new Mr. Clean at the helm of SNC-Lavalin, plans to learn French before taking up his duties in Montreal in October. He has vast experience in the management of overseas construction and engineering. He may have something to teach SNC-Lavalin and other Canadian firms on the subject of keeping their wits about them when bribery is in the air. An editorial from the Winnipeg Free Press.

The Centennial Capital Program is inclusive and diverse with the following objectives: The projects will appeal to a wide range of different interest groups: sports, youth, family, nature, history, sport and culture. The spray park and the skateboard park are outdoor facilities that can be used and enjoyed by the community at no cost. The projects have been designed to support the three pillars of our centennial (celebrate, commemorate and create) and were supported by the city’s Centennial Committee. In August, city council will consider the Red Deer College’s proposal and determine how well it fits into the city’s Centennial Capital Program. Craig Curtis City Manager Red Deer

Environment becoming health issue Preventing illness is the best way to get healthcare costs down. So why aren’t governments doing more to protect the environment? We’ve long known that environmental factors contribute to disease, especially contamination of air, water, and soil. Scientists are now learning the connection is stronger than we realized. New research shows that 60 per cent of emerging infectious diseases affecting humans — those that rapidly increase in incidence or geographic range — start with animals, two-thirds from wild DAVID animals. Lyme disease, West SUZUKI Nile virus, Ebola, SARS, AIDS … these are just a few of the hundreds of epidemics that have spread from animals to people. A study by the International Livestock Research Institute concludes that more than two million people a year are killed by diseases that originated with wild and domestic animals. Many more become ill. According to an article in the New York Times, “emerging diseases have quadrupled in the last half-century.” The increase is mainly due to human encroachment into and destruction of wildlife habitat. For example, one study concluded that a four per cent increase in Amazon deforestation led to a 50 per cent increase in malaria because mosquitoes, which transmit the disease, thrive in the cleared areas. Another example from the article shows how interconnected life is. Development in North America has destroyed or fragmented forests and chased many predators away. This has led to a huge increase in white-footed mice, which carry Lyme bacteria. The mice are not good at removing ticks and their larvae and so the ticks pick up bacteria from the mice and spread it to other mammals, including

humans. Because the number of Lyme-infected ticks has multiplied, more are transferring the disease to humans. “When we do things in an ecosystem that erode biodiversity — we chop forests into bits or replace habitat with agricultural fields — we tend to get rid of species that serve a protective role,” Lyme disease researcher Richard Ostfeld told the New York Times, adding that our actions tend to favour species that act as disease carriers. Global warming is adding to the problem. A study in the journal Nature, Impact of regional climate change on human health, notes that heart attacks and respiratory illness due to heat waves, altered transmission of infectious diseases, and malnutrition from crop failures can all be linked to a warming planet. And economic and political upheaval brought on by climate change can damage public health infrastructure, making it difficult for people to cope with the inevitable rise in sickness, according to a study in the Archives of Medical Research, Global Warming and Infectious Disease. Research has also shown that warming ocean waters are increasing the incidence of waterborne illnesses, including those caused by toxic bacteria in shellfish. This is costly to the economy as well as to human health and survival. The World Bank estimates that a severe influenza pandemic could cost the world economy $3 trillion. Environment Canada says air pollution alone costs the Canadian economy billions of dollars a year because of increased health-care costs, missed work days, and reduced productivity. A key solution, according to the One Health Initiative, is to look at the links between human, animal, and ecological health and to manage our activities in a sustainable and holistic way. The U.S.-based initiative is bringing experts in human, animal, and environmental health together to study these links. Another promising area of research is natural capital evaluation. Although it’s difficult, if not impossible, to put a dollar value on the numerous ser-

vices nature provides, leaving them out of economic calculations means they are often ignored. Forests and green spaces filter water and store carbon. Urban green spaces provide cooling and protection from storms. And, ecosystems in balance help to protect us from disease outbreaks. Destroying these systems and replacing them with human-built infrastructure or paying for the consequences often costs much more than profits gained from exploitation. With the world’s human population now at seven billion and growing, and the demand for technology and modern conveniences increasing, we can’t control all our negative impacts. But we have to find better ways to live within the limits nature and its cycles impose. Our physical health and survival, and the health of our economies, depend on it.

Services mark 70th anniversary of Dieppe raid THE CANADIAN PRESS DIEPPE, France — A handful of Canadian veterans were treated to a heroes’ welcome Sunday when they returned to the French coastal town of Dieppe to mark the 70th anniversary of one of the bloodiest and most disastrous raids of the Second World War. Thousands of people lined the streets to greet the seven veterans, now all in their 90s, who are in northwest France to attend the commemorative ceremonies. The veterans many who are now using wheelchairs or walking canes proudly wore red poppies to pay their respects to the 900 fallen comrades killed within hours after 5,000 Canadian troops stormed the pebbled beaches of German-occupied Dieppe on Aug. 19, 1942. Nearly 2,500 others were either wounded or taken prisoner. Under grey, foggy skies, local residents, along with the French military and other government officials, honoured the few returning veterans. Canadian flags could be seen flying in windows and outside buildings as people stopped to applaud and shake the hands of these wartime heroes. The veterans were obviously moved. Many had tears in their eyes. It left Canadian Veterans Affairs Minister Steven Blaney visibly moved. “It goes to your heart,” Blaney said. “I’m speechless ... and overwhelmed by the emotion we can feel here in Dieppe today.” Roman Wozniak was one of the fliers who flew a Spitfire over the beaches of Dieppe that day. “We had no problem in the air,” said the 93-yearold Vancouver man. “We did get six that day and we lost three.” But Wozniak had felt that the deadly battle was largely forgotten. “It was a disaster,” he said. “It was sort of swept under the rug and very little was said about it.” Fred Engelbrecht, 92, of Hamilton, served in the Royal Hamilton Light Infantry. He considered himself one of the lucky ones, surviving the raid to become a prisoner of war. He spent four months tied up with ropes and shackled in chains for a further 12 months during his time as a POW. He was liberated in 1945. “We were the best troops of England of that time and I know that,” said Engelbrecht of the Canadian soldiers. Arthur Rossell, with the Essex Scottish Regiment, was wounded during the raid and was in a coma for 18 days, spending several months in hospital. Sunday’s visit was his first return to Dieppe since the raid. He said the Allies were unprepared for the desperate conditions of Dieppe.

Some 1,400 soldiers were killed in ‘Operation Jubilee’ when the Allies tried to briefly invade Dieppe to test German defenses. “The beaches of Dieppe are just mass of little stones and that was a handicap,” said Rossell, 92, of Brampton, Ont. “You stumbled over everything.” Gov. Gen. David Johnston, the commander-in-chief of the Canadian Forces, said it was no doubt a difficult day of remembrance for the veterans. At a ceremony at the Square du Canada, he noted those who served in Dieppe have gone on to become leaders in the effort to commemorate the sacrifices made during the Second World War. “In the raid on Dieppe — and indeed throughout the Second World War — Canadians paid a very high price,” Johnston said. “The veterans of Dieppe understand the enormity of that sacrifice in a way that few, if any, of us can truly comprehend. “Each of us remembers the tragedy of war in our

own, private way, but together, we recognize that the Allied soldiers who fought here did so valiantly, in common cause.” The Canadians killed in Dieppe remain there in the Canadian war cemetery. When the town was liberated two years after the raid, the Allies decided to not disturb the graves, which were put there by the Germans who buried them with their headstones placed back to back. There has been considerable debate over the years about the justification for the raid. Some Allied military leaders said the lessons learned from the disaster saved countless lives during the D-Day invasion on June 6, 1944. Intelligence leaders and some historians also contend that vital data concerning German radar and codes was obtained during the raid.

Harper a target in Quebec election debate Canadians cherish

memories of Layton

THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — The woman who could be elected Quebec’s premier in just over two weeks used the opening statement of Sunday’s televised leaders’ debate to attack Prime Minister Stephen Harper. In her opening remarks, Parti Quebecois Leader Pauline Marois offered a quick hint of her party’s strategy with the Sept. 4 election approaching: confrontation with the Harper Tories. Marois did not even make a reference to her own party’s raison d’etre, Quebec independence. There was simply a token reference to the prime minister. “I will never let Stephen Harper choose for us,” Marois said, in an oblique reminder of spats with the Tories over employment insurance, justice policy and transfer payments. The PQ has said that if it’s elected it will seek a transfer of powers from Ottawa in areas like employment insurance and immigration policy. If the Tories refuse, they say, they will make the case that Quebec doesn’t belong in Canada. Marois also attacked the Charest Liberals and their scandals, and suggested hers is the only opposition party that has an experienced-enough team to take charge: “We can end this Liberal regime that has tarnished our image around the world.” In his own opening statement, Premier Jean Charest immediately confronted the ethics scandals that have rocked his government. He said there had been myriad “unfounded” allegations against his Liberals. What matters to Quebecers, he said, is economic performance. Charest mentioned the better-than-average job performance in Quebec since the 2008 recession, compared to the rest of the country. Charest suggested that his opponents had proven themselves to be fiscally irresponsible this spring, by conceding to the demands of student protesters. “The next Quebec government will have difficult choices to make,” Charest said. “We will need a responsible government.” Charest, later in the debate, referred to questionable fundraising practices of his opponents during a muscular exchange on ethics. The leader of the new Coalition party, Francois Legault, stuck to a simple message of change. “We will show the door to career politicians,” Legault said, wearing a blue tie and red pocket square that hinted at his desire to attract supporters from all parties. “It’s enough... Things need to change.” Quebec’s provincial election campaign entered a new phase Sunday night with the first in a string of televised leadership debates. It was the first of four debates in four consecutive nights, giving voters a

Sunday’s debate was the only one that will include all four leaders of the biggest parties — while the remaining ones will feature a series of one-on-ones. Sunday’s four topic segments were: the economy, governance, social policy, the national question and identity. A successful showing in the debate by Marois could help solidify her lead over the competition. Opinion polls have her party solidly ahead of the Charest Liberals and the new Coalition for Quebec’s Future. But a strong showing by Charest or Legault could have a major impact, given the relative tightness of the three-way race. Francoise David, co-spokesperson for the socialdemocratic Quebec solidaire, also took part. Unlike the PQ, in her opening statement she did mention her desire to make Quebec a country. Three one-on-one debates are scheduled for Monday through Wednesday, featuring face-offs between Charest, Legault, and Marois. In Sunday’s debate, a recurring theme was attacks on the trustworthiness and preparedness to govern of Legault’s new party. Charest joked that the former PQ cabinet minister couldn’t be trusted on the most fundamental of questions. He referred to Legault’s recent statement that he would vote against Quebec independence in a referendum — a statement that stunned some of his old allies.

OTTAWA — Perhaps Canadians are taking Jack Layton’s dying wish to heart. From his death bed last summer, the late NDP leader exhorted people to be more loving, hopeful and optimistic. If the unprecedented outpouring of grief that ensued — and the fond memories Canadians continue to cherish a year later — are any indication, it could be they’re doing just that. At the very least, they’ve banished the cynicism normally reserved for politicians. In the days that followed Layton’s death last Aug. 22, the odd critic could be heard muttering about a maudlin spectacle of group mourning — thousands scribbling emotional chalk messages and leaving flowers, stuffed toys, cans of Orange Crush and other mementoes at impromptu memorials. “Teddy-bear grief,” some sniffed. A mawkish overreaction, they said, to the death of someone most Canadians had never met and who had never risen higher than leader of Her Majesty’s Loyal Opposition — a position he held for only for a few short months before succumbing to cancer. Yet, even 12 months removed from the emotional intensity of the moment, a new poll suggests a majority of people believe last year’s remarkable national display of remembrance was both authentic and appropriate — and they continue to hold Layton and his legacy in high esteem. Some 62 per cent of respondents to the poll, conducted by Harris-Decima for The Canadian Press, said they viewed the torrent of public grief for Layton as genuine, compared with just 27 per cent who said they felt mourners simply got caught up in the moment.

CASH IN AT THE SHOW IN RED DEER! SHOW BEGINS TUESDAY! The Canadian Coin Association will be in Red Deer starting on Tuesday, August 21st, and they want you to bring in your old coin collections for a FREE EVALUATION. Based on condition, collectability and various other factors, coins minted before 1968 can bring in significant prices. Representing coin collectors from all over the world, the CCA can offer very large amounts for individual coins and coin collections. Offering their services FREE OF CHARGE, CCA experts will evaluate any coin put in front of them and give you the compensation you deserve. So whether you have coin collections or even individual pieces, bring them on down to the show and discover their true value. During a recent CCA event, Dan Wilkinson, a bricklayer from Kamloops, walked in with a box full of coins he got as a child from his grandfather. Not knowing their true value, he brought in his collection for our coin experts to examine. “We uncovered a 1953 Elizabeth Half dollar, valued at just over $1,200”, explains Roy Simpson. “He also brought us a bunch of his old Canadian and American coins that we were able to analyze and evaluate. Even though they

didn’t have rare mintages, they were still extremely valuable due to their silver content.” Mr Wilkinson was able to leave the coin show with over $2,700! With the silver market being as high as it is, this is the time to turn those old coins into a healthy payday. CCA has a staff of recognized and experienced experts that not only can evaluate your coins but other pieces of silver as well! Old tea sets, stamps collections from the Franklin Mint and even silver bars are all examples of items they purchase on the spot. During a recent show in Moncton, CCA was able to offer an incredible $4,200 for a Canadian Victoria Dime, minted in 1884! Certain coins hold very large values due to many contributing factors, such as the year it was minted and the amount of coins minted that year as well. CCA experts will sit down with you and explain all of the intricacies associated with your coins and will then offer you a value based on the rarity and also the silver content of the coin. CCA’s International collectors are also interested in the gold market as well and are looking for coins from all around the world. British Sovereigns, Maple Leafs, Double Eagle gold coins and even Gold Francs are all prime examples of gold coins CCA is looking

for on behalf of their collectors. Although much of their focus is on the numismatic community, CCA also focuses their time on seeking other forms of gold as well. With the market rising, all of your broken gold, jewelry and even your dental gold can be turned into money in your pocket. Due to their international recognition and large database of collectors, the Canadian Coin Association has the ability to make on the spot purchases on their behalf. So whether you have an old necklace or a coin collection you started as child, bring it on over the show nearest you and take advantage of this incredible opportunity!

Lulay and Lions upend Riders BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

AUSTIN COLLIE

COLLIE CONCUSSED PITTSBURGH — Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Austin Collie left Sunday night’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the first quarter with a possible concussion. Collie, who missed seven games in 2010 after suffering a pair of concussions, took a blow to the head from Pittsburgh linebacker Larry Foote while trying to haul in a pass from Andrew Luck. He was momentarily dazed before walking off the field under his own power and taken to the locker room for tests. Collie wasn’t the only Colts player to leave early. Linebacker Robert Mathis went out in the first quarter with a shoulder strain and defensive end Cory Redding went out with a leg injury. - THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Lions 24 Roughriders 5 VANCOUVER — The fumble on the first play from scrimmage looked like a bad omen for Travis Lulay. But he made sure it wasn’t. After committing the early turnover, the B.C. Lions quarterback delivered a strong performance to beat the Saskatchewan Roughriders 24-5 on Sunday before a crowd of 34,343 at B.C. Place. Lulay ran for one touchdown, threw for another and handed off for one more as the Lions (5-3) retained sole possession of first place by posting their third straight win. “Mistakes are going to happen in a football game,” said Lulay. “That’s an important part, when a mistake happens being able to take a deep breath, relax, go out and play the next play without getting flustered and I was able to do that and the team felt that around me.” The Riders (3-4) suffered their fourth straight loss after opening the season with three consecutive wins. Saskatchewan has not won since beating B.C. in July. Conversely, the Lions have not lost since then. “Right now at this point we’ve got work to do,” said Riders coach Corey Chamblin. “We’ll find a way to win. There’s some individual units that are getting better. That’s the positive about it. “I understand that we’re a young team — that’s no excuse. That was a good B.C. Lions team out there today, a veteran team. We’ve just got to make sure that we get some of our young guys turning into vets soon.” Arland Bruce and Ernest Jackson scored B.C.’s other touchdowns. The Lions’ other

Saskatchewan only managed a first-quarter field goal by Sandro DeAngelis, who only made two attempts, and a safety conceded by McCallum in the final minute. The Lions held their opponent without a touchdown, and under 10 points, for the third straight game. Cauchy Muamba led

the way defensively as he recorded two interceptions. B.C.’s strong defensive performance came despite the absence of key pass rusher Khalif Mitchell, who sat out the first of a two-game suspension for twisting Edmonton offensive lineman Simeon Rottier.

Rangers 11 Blue Jays 2 TORONTO — Henderson Alvarez pitched with a heavy heart Sunday. The Toronto Blue Jays starter had been told of a death in the family in the morning and after an awful outing against Texas declined to speak to media. It was small wonder. Texas defeated Toronto 11-2 after banging out 19 hits — 12 against Alvarez in 4 1/3 innings — to win the rubber match of a threegame series. No Blue Jays mentioned Alvarez’s pain after the game — catcher Yan Gomes said he “had absolutely no idea” — but Rangers starter Matt Harrison expressed sympathy for the opposing pitcher. “I’ll say a little prayer for his family and him tonight,” said Harrison. “That’s pretty tough. To have that on your mind when you go out and pitch, your focus is definitely not on pitching. I hope the best for him, hopefully he can get past this and come back strong.” Michael Young hit a threerun homer and added a two-run double for Texas, while Harrison (14-7) held Toronto to two runs and two hits, including a solo homer by Mike McCoy. The hit total and the eight runs allowed were both career highs for Alvarez (7-11), and, by the time McCoy homered in the fifth, the Rangers had broken the game open in the top of the

David Murphy added his 11th homer of the season against Chad Jenkins in the ninth. “The Rangers came out and swung the bats aggressively, especially on first-pitch fastballs,” Blue Jays manager John Farrell said. “And then in hitter’s counts where there were some mislocated fastballs they squared some balls up. “I didn’t think he used his secondary stuff enough, particularly as they started to be aggressive early in the counts. There was still first-pitch fast-

ball approach that they took advantage of.” After the game Gomes was returned to triple-A Las Vegas, likely to make room for catcher Yorvit Torrealba who completed his four-game stint with double-A New Hampshire on Sunday and is expected to join the Blue Jays on Tuesday. Gomes said Toronto’s approach to pitching against the Rangers needed to be changed. “I guess we should have tried to do something else because what we were doing wasn’t working,” he said. “It’s a team you can’t make mistakes against.

One (batter) through nine they can hurt you.” The Blue Jays (56-65) scored first in the second when McCoy’s infield bouncer resulted in an out but still scored Yunel Escobar from third base. But the Rangers (70-50) struck back in the third. Murphy led off with a double and slid home safely on a single by Geovany Soto, who took second on the throw home. Mitch Moreland singled to make it 2-1 and he took third when Ian Kinsler ended a 0-for21 drought with a double. But Alvarez avoided further damage in the inning by striking out Elvis Andrus and Josh Hamilton and retiring Adrian Beltre on a grounder to third. The Rangers scored once in the fourth when Young singled and scored on a double by Murphy, who was thrown out trying for third. “I thought we did a pretty good job of making sure we stayed in the strike zone and made sure we got strikes to hit,” said Young. “That’s easier said than done when a guy’s got a really good power sinker but I thought we did a pretty good job of that.” Texas broke the game open in the fifth. Andrus, who made a superb play at shortstop on Edwin Encarnacion’s grounder into the hole in the fourth, singled with one out in the fifth and scored on a double by Hamilton.

Colts rally comes up short in loss to Steelers BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Steelers 26 Colts 24 PITTSBURGH — Andrew Luck shook off a pair of early interceptions to put together three second-quarter scoring drives, giving the Indianapolis Colts a halftime lead before the Pittsburgh Steelers rallied for a 26-24 preseason victory Sunday night. The top overall pick completed 16 of 25 passes for 175 yards and added a 1-yard touchdown run for the Colts (11), who held their own against a perennial Super Bowl contender. Ben Roethlisberger passed for 81 yards with a touchdown and an interception for the Steelers (1-1), who took an early 14-0 lead when Ike Taylor picked off Luck’s pass and took it 50 yards for a score. The pick hardly rattled Luck, who led the Colts to scores on three of their next four drives. By the time he left, Indianapolis (No. 32 in the AP Pro32) held a 17-14 at the break. Rookie Danny Hrapmann kicked four second-half field goals for the Steelers, including the 22-yard winner with 23 seconds remaining. Luck dazzled in his preseason debut last week against St. Louis, passing for a pair of touchdowns in a 38-3 romp. He expected a sterner test against the Steelers — who led the NFL in total defence for the fourth time in the last nine years in 2011 — and he got it. Pittsburgh (No. 7) sent its first string defence — minus injured stars James

Harrison and Casey Hampton — after Luck from the start. The Colts managed just one first down on their first three possessions, the third one ending with Luck underthrowing Reggie Wayne on a sideline pattern that Taylor stepped in front of and took down the sideline for a touchdown. “I turned around and the ball was right there,” Taylor said. “I just had to make sure I caught it.” Things appeared to get worse for Luck on Indianapolis’ next play, when he was sacked by LaMarr Woodley. No biggie. Showing the poise that made the Colts choose him to be the heir apparent to Peyton Manning, Luck led a 10-play, 80-yard drive that ended with Donald Brown’s 1-yard plunge. Luck had it going again on Indianapolis’ next possession only to be undone but a bit of bad, well, luck. He hit rookie wide receiver T.Y. Hilton in stride down the middle only to have the wide-open Hilton throw the ball up in the air. Pittsburgh’s Cortez Allen ran underneath it to thwart the drive, but it hardly slowed the Colts. Indianapolis tied it at 14 when Luck deftly slid into the end zone on fourthand-goal from the 1, ending a drive in which Luck completed all five of his passes. Luck got one more chance just before the half, and he made it count.

U12 Renegades win provincials SOCCER PROVINCIALS The Red Deer Renegades put together an impressive run to capture the provincial U12 Tier I girls’ soccer championship in St. Albert during the weekend. The Renegades won all four of their starts by shutouts, including a 1-0 decision over the St. Albert Impact in the gold medal game. The Renegades beat the Calgary Foothills 5-0 Friday then downed the Edmonton Scottish 6-0 and the Edmonton Mill Woods Selects 5-0 Saturday. The win capped a solid season for the Renegades, who won the Edmonton Slurpee Cup in June and finished second in their league with a 19-4-5 record. ● Meanwhile in the Tier II provincials in Red Deer the Renegades won bronze in both the U16 and U18 girls’ divisions.

Wyndham Championships delayed until today BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS GREENSBORO, N.C. — It’s been four years since Sergio Garcia’s last PGA Tour victory. He’ll have to wait one more day before he can try to finish this one off. And a downpour at the Wyndham Championship meant another day of uncertainty for others on the playoff bubble. Garcia had the lead at 15 under through four holes Sunday when the final round in the last event before the FedEx Cup playoffs was suspended for the day because of heavy rain. Tim Clark, Jason Dufner and Bud Cauley were 14 under through varying stages of their rounds, and 38 players — half the field — were still on the course when play was stopped. After waiting roughly 2 hours, 20 minutes, officials decided to bring them back to Sedgefield Country Club at 9 a.m. Monday to crown a champion and figure out who qualifies for the playoffs and who doesn’t. It will be the first Monday finish in Greensboro since 1983. Tour officials said more than 2 inches of rain fell on the course since Saturday night and Mark Russell, the tour’s vice-president of rules and competition, said the 15th hole became “unplayable.” The stoppage came at 3:10 p.m. when the showers picked up, and it was expected to be only a brief delay, with the players initially staying on the course. Officials reversed that decision and brought them in a short while later.

Then, when the initially announced restart time of 5 p.m. was pushed back twice — first to 5:30 p.m., then 6 p.m. — it made it virtually impossible for the final pairing to finish 14 holes in the roughly 2 hours of remaining daylight and guaranteed a Monday finish. The decision to suspend things was announced at 5:28 p.m. “It started raining and just wouldn’t stop. The golf course got to the point where it was saturated,” Russell said. “We got to a point where we knew we

couldn’t finish ... so we made a decision that we would let it drain tonight, come back in the morning and be in position to resume play at 9 o’clock.” Clark, who started the day a stroke behind Garcia after letting a few birdie chances get away late in the third round, birdied two of his first four holes to match Garcia at 15 under. A bogey on the par-5 fifth — the most frequently eagled hole on the course — dropped him back a stroke, and he was in the fairway on No. 6 when the

rain delay came. “Obviously, we’d all like to continue playing,” Clark said. “You get into a rhythm out there, and you’d like to keep going. But it’s going to be the same for all of us. It’s just a tough situation.” Garcia began the day at 14 under and had three pars and a birdie on the par-3 third. He was preparing for a 40-yard chip when play stopped. Garcia, who hasn’t won on tour since the 2008 Players Championship, also wants a spot on the European Ryder Cup team. The 10 automatic qualifiers will be set following the Johnny Walker Invitational, with Jose Maria Olazabal making two captain’s picks. Garcia certainly made a case for inclusion with his play this week, following his second-round 63 — his lowest round on tour in a decade — with a 66 that gave him a one-stroke lead entering the final round. While Garcia continued his chase for that spot, other players were trying to secure a spot in the playoffs that begin later this week. The top 125 on the points list qualify for The Barclays at Bethpage Black. Heath Slocum, who arrived at No. 128, was at 11 under through 13 holes and was at No. 120 on the projected standings. Every stroke was critical for Y.E. Yang, who came to Greensboro at No. 129 and needed a strong final round to push his way into the post-season. He finished at 6 under following a third straight 69 and was projected to miss the playoffs at No. 127 when play stopped.

Canada falls to Panama at Little League World Series BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. — After his home run sailed over the left-field fence, Brock Myers raced around the basepaths as if he was running a 40-yard dash. The soft-spoken, Myers played it cool later in front of reporters, but Tennessee manager Joey Hale insisted on giving the 12-year-old Myers and his clutch-hitting teammates the star treatment. Jayson Brown broke a 5-5 tie by hitting a 1-2 pitch down the right-field line for a two-out, two-run triple in the top of the sixth, and Myers followed with his tworun shot to left to lift the team from Goodlettsville to a 9-6 win over the prolific sluggers from Petaluma, Calif., on Sunday at the Little League World Series. Tennessee is unbeaten in the tournament, joining Texas in the U.S. bracket after the San Antonio sluggers beat New Castle, Ind., 13-3. In the international bracket nightcap, Japan’s Hajime Motegi hit a two-run blast to centre with one out in the bottom of the ninth to beat Taiwan, 2-0. The 13-year-old Motegi was so happy as he rounded the bases that he jumped into the arms of his third-base coach down the line before even reaching the plate. Both teams dominated from the mound and flashed big league defence. Panama started off Sunday’s action with an 8-3 over Canada to remain undefeated. PANAMA 8, CANADA 3 James Gonzalez had two homers and six RBIs, including a grand slam, for Aguadulce, Panama. After leaving the bases loaded and having a run taken off the board in the first due to a runner leaving early, Panama broke out for six in the second. Carlos Flavio started the outburst with a solo homer. Edisson Gonzalez also had an RBI single before James Gonzalez hit his grand slam against the Canada region champs from Vancouver. James Gonzalez, 12, became the first Panama player to hit a grand slam and two home runs in the tournament. Panama pitching limited a Canada team that scored 13 runs in a win Friday over Mexico. Edisson Gonzalez and Daniel Cruz combined for 13 strikeouts. “That was probably the best pitching team we’ve seen. They had good fastballs and good breaking balls,” Canada manager Vito Bordignon said. “We had difficulty adjusting today.”

TEXAS 13, INDIANA 3 Jordan Cardenas hit his second homer of the tournament and Zachary Sanchez also went deep for Texas, which broke open a one-run game by scoring six in the fourth. Texas’ top four hitters in Cardenas, Sanchez, Landry Wideman and Seth Morrow set the pace by combining to go 8 for 14 with nine runs and seven RBIs. The offensive outbreak in the sixth broke a 1-for-18 stretch with runners in scoring position. “That happens all the time with this team,” Texas manager Jack Wideman Jr. said. “I told the kids it’s a six inning game, we will fight through it.” Hunter McCubbins clubbed a two-run homer in the first for Indiana, which was must now play an elimination game Monday night against Connecticut.

RED DEER ADVOCATE Monday, Aug. 20, 2012 B3

CFL: Great effort “We feel pretty good about winning football games if the opponent’s only scoring five (points),” said Lulay. “That’s just a great effort by our defence, especially in the first half when we weren’t real consistent. We blew an opportunity down close and then the defence got a stop.” Lulay extended his touchdown-pass streak to 18 games, completing 22 of 30 passes for 257 yards. Saskatchewan’s Darian Durant went 18 for 27 with 170 yards before he was pulled in the fourth quarter. His backup Drew Willy completed all five of his pass attempts, but could not generate any points. Both Lulay and Durant passed effectively in the first half, but hurt their teams with untimely miscues. Saskatchewan couldn’t attempt an onside kick on the opening kick-off, but got the ball the B.C. 42-yeard-line when Lulay fumbled on the Lions’ first play from scrimmage. The Riders’ offence struggled and was hampered by an illegal procedure penalty, but they managed to get three points as Sandro DeAngelis connected on a 36-yarder. The Riders threatened to score again on their next drive, but Muamba recorded his first interception, giving B.C. the ball at its 25-yard-line. However, the Lions couldn’t get far and were soon forced to punt. The Lions stalled again on their next drive, but Saskatchewan’s Craig Butler kept it alive as he was penalized for contacting McCallum on his punt. B.C. then took the ball to the Saskatchewan two, but backup quarterback Mike Reilly was denied on a third-and-one attempt. The rejection came after the Lions declined a Saskatchewan offside penalty that would have moved the ball back, but given B.C. a repeat of second down. On the ensuing drive, the Riders were forced to settle for a 47-yard field goal attempt, but DeAngelis was wide and Tim Brown ran the ball to midfield before was clotheslined by Tearrius George. The penalty gave B.C. the ball at Saskatchewan’s 34 and B.C. advanced to the Saskatchewan five. This time, Lulay succeeded in running the ball into the end zone, staking the Lions to a 7-3 half-time lead. Late in the third quarter, Lions defensive back Dante Marsh intercepted a Durant pass and returned it 43 yards to set the stage for a McCallum 24-yard field goal that put B.C. up 10-3. Just before the third quarter ended, Lulay connected with Arland Bruce on a 55-yard touchdown pass. “The safety, he made a mistake and left us open, and Travis took advantage of it,” said Bruce, who made three catches for 93 yards. B.C. defensive lineman Maurice Evans, who took Mitchell’s spot on the roster, came up big early in the fourth quarter as he stopped Riders backup quarterback Drew Willy on a third-and-one situation, forcing a turnover on downs. Lulay then guided the Lions on a nine-play scoring drive that culminated with his hand-off to receiver Jackson for a 15-yard touchdown off a 15-yard reverse. Saskatchewan finally scored again with 39 seconds left in the game as McCallum decided to concede the safety rather than punt from the end zone.

JAYS: Superb play Andrus, who made a superb play at shortstop on Edwin Encarnacion’s grounder into the hole in the fourth, singled with one out in the fifth and scored on a double by Hamilton. Beltre walked and Nelson Cruz singled to score Hamilton. Young followed with his fourth homer of the season and his first homer since May 7 at Baltimore, a span of 88 games. McCoy hit his first homer of the season in the fifth but the Rangers came back with two more in the sixth on a double by Young. “I saw (Young) use his hands the way he’s able to,” said Rangers manager Ron Washington. “Before he had a lot of body and today it was hands. Hopefully he’s about to come around because when Michael starts finding his, it lasts a long time.” Notes: Rookie Adeiny Hechavarria made his first major-league start at second base on Sunday. In his 10 previous starts, nine were at third base and one was at shortstop. ... Third baseman Brett Lawrie (rib cage) was 0-for-3 Sunday for single-A Dunedin as he continued his rehabilitation assignment. Dunedin has a day off Monday so he will play for the Blue Jays Gulf Coast League team where he will be joined by Jose Bautista (left wrist), who will start his rehabilitation assignment. ... First baseman David Cooper was a late scratch from the starting lineup Sunday because of lower-back tightness. Cooper said it happened during batting practice but said it was not serious ... Brandon Morrow (oblique muscle injury) pitched 4 2/3 innings for double-A New Hampshire on Sunday and allowed four hits and two runs to complete his rehabilitation assignment in the minors. ...The Blue Jays have Monday off and open a three-game series in Detroit on Tuesday. ... Announced attendance at Rogers Centre was 35,701.

NFL: Showed character Working exclusively out of the shotgun, Luck led the Colts 31 yards in five plays, giving Adam Vinatieri just enough time — and room — to sneak a 53-yard field goal between the uprights at the gun. “It showed character and maturity of Andrew to come back, make plays, move the ball down the field and have two nice drives,” Indianapolis coach Chuck Pagano said. The Steelers aren’t in the midst of a rebuilding process like the Colts, but they are trying to get comfortable with new offensive co-ordinator Todd Haley’s system. The results, so far, are mixed. Roethlisberger completed 7 of 8 passes during his one drive of work in the opener against Philadelphia last week, all of them quick hitters. His first pass Sunday night ended up in the hands of Indianapolis’ Antoine Bethea when the safety cut in front of a pass intended for Pittsburgh wide receiver Antonio Brown. Antonio Brown and Roethlisberger atoned the next time the Steelers had the ball, with Brown doing most of the work. He hauled in an 18-yard pass from Roethlisberger on third-and-11 to extend the drive then put together a highlight-reel 57 yard catch-and-run for a touchdown. The play was all Brown. He took a screen pass from Roethlisberger, cut up the field and used some great downfield blocking by running back Baron Batch to get to the end zone. Brown — who has become Roethlisberger’s favourite target with Mike Wallace in the midst of a holdout — added some style points by doing a forward flip as he crossed the goal line. Roethlisberger stayed out for one more series, throwing a pair of incompletions before giving way to veteran backup Charlie Batch. NOTES: Colts DE Robert Mathis left the game in the first quarter with a shoulder strain and did not return. Indianapolis WR Austin Collie underwent a concussion test after taking a blow to the head.

Canadian women get bronze at Baseball World Cup THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — In a battle of the bats, Canada overpowered Australia 17-13 to claim bronze Sunday at the fifth IBAF Women’s World Cup. Canada built an 8-1 lead through three innings before Australia fought back to within one run in the fifth. Canada went ahead 17-8 after six innings before Australia scored five seventh-inning runs. But pitcher Autumn Mills of Burlington, Ont., came in to get a fielder’s choice and strikeout to end the game. Ottawa’s Hannah Martensen was credited with the win, which gave Canada a fourth medal in five World Cups. They won bronze in 2004 and 2006 and silver in 2008. Canada was able to rebound from Saturday’s 17-4 semifinal loss to the United States, who played Japan for gold on Sunday. “I’m very proud of my team and we’re happy to be bronze medalists,” said Canadian manager Andre Lachance. “To lose the way we did last night and have a crazy game like today and come out on top says a lot about the character of our team.”

Canada jumped out to a 5-0 lead in the bottom of the second when Edmonton’s Nicole Luchanksi hit a three-run, inside-the-park home run. Australia scored one in the top half of the third off Canadian starter Vanessa Riopel of Repentigny, Que., before Canada notched three runs in the bottom of the inning with a bases-loaded double from Ashley Stephenson of Mississauga, Ont. But Australia stormed back with three runs in each of the fourth and fifth innings to make it 8-7. “Australians never quit and they will battle you until the final out,” said Lachance. “Today they proved that.” Canada answered back in the bottom of the fifth when Quebec’s Stephanie Savoie tripled in three runs to make it 12-7. After Australia scored once in the top of the sixth, Canada put up a five runs in the bottom of the inning to make it 17-8. “The victory is big for women’s baseball in Canada,” said Lachance. “We’re really working hard to develop the sport for girls at the grassroots level which hopefully will lead to success at the international level for years to come.”

MacKinnon hat trick leads Canada to Hlinka tournament win THE CANADIAN PRESS PIESTANY, Slovakia — Canada won its fifth straight Ivan Hlinka Memorial hockey championship with its most complete game of the tournament, using a dominant forecheck to tire out a fading Finland team. Nathan MacKinnon scored three goals, including two on the power play, as Canada defeated 4-0 on Saturday to claim the under-18 tournament for the 17th time since it was introduced in 1991. “That was our best game from start to finish. Everybody bought in,” Canada coach Todd Gill said. “Our slogan was ’I am willing,’ and everybody was willing tonight and it showed.” MacKinnon finished the tournament with five goals and six assists in five games. Curtis Lazar also scored for Canada, while Zachary Fucale made 23 saves for the shutout. The game was scoreless after the first period, but Gill could sense the Finns were being tired out by Canada’s forecheck and ability to cycle the puck. Canada took advantage by scoring three goals in the second period while outshooting Finland 22-9. MacKinnon kickstarted the offence with his first goal of the game 1:14 into the second. “The way the game was going you could just tell that the kids were getting a lot more confident,” Gill said. “In my opinion it

was just a matter of time before we started scoring goals. We dominated the second period and it just got better and better, and they were getting tired and their goalie was getting tired so we knew the goals would come.” Finland had a chance to get back in the game when Nicholas Ritchie was assessed a five-minute major and a game misconduct for a check to the head 2:10 into the third period. “It was a good hard hit,” Gill said of the penalty. “The kid fell and skated off real quick but by that time (the referee) had made his decision.” The Canadians killed off the major, then shortly after MacKinnon scored his second power-play goal of the game to suck the rest of the life out of the Finns. “After killing off a five-minute penalty it gave us an advantage I think. It sparked the boys,” MacKinnon said. “Shortly after that we had a 5-on-3 power play and some good puck movement and I found a way to finish it off.” While Canada outshot Finland 44-23 in the game, Fucale was good when he had to be. A teammate of MacKinnon on the QMJHL’s Halifax Mooseheads, Fucale formed a solid goaltending tandem with Eric Comrie at the tournament. “He just calms it down,” Gill said of Fucale. “He’s calm and cool in there, there’s no panic to his game. When a shot does get through he controls rebounds very well.

BRIEFS Braves get bronze MEDICINE HAT — The Red Deer Braves captured bronze in the Medicine Hat U16 baseball tournament during the weekend. The Braves beat Lethbridge 3-0 behind the five-hit pitching of Mathieu Brisson, who was named pitcher of the tournament. Corey Twa had a pair of hits and Levi Moon a double for Red Deer. Twa also drove in a pair of runs. In pool action, the Braves beat the Medicine Hat Knights 7-5, lost 9-6 to Sherwood Park and beat the Calgary Babe Ruth squad 8-0. Mitch Vanson picked up the win against the Knights, working five innings and allowing three runs — one earned — on two hits and four walks. He also fanned four. Ryan Klink went 2/3 of an inning and allowed a pair of unearned runs on one hit and four walks and Brisson picked up the save, tossing 1 1/3 innings of hitless ball. Riley Guntrip had a pair of hits and two RBIs for the Braves while Twa drove in a pair of runs. Joel Mazurkewich took the loss against Sherwood Park, allowing five runs — two earned — on eight hits and five walks over 5 2/3 innings. Twa went the final 1 1/3 innings, allowing four runs on two hits and two walks. Guntrip had a pair of hits, two walks and two RBIs. Moon went the distance against Calgary, allowing just two hits while walking two and fanning five. Guntrip had a hit and a walk and drove in three runs while Mazurkewich added two hits and two RBIs. Vanson had a pair of hits. Mazurkewich will now head to the Vauxhall Academy of Baseball while Moon and Nik Fischer will attend the Badlands Baseball Academy in Oyen.

“Comrie played awesome for us when he was in there. We had two goalies that we trusted and it makes the game so much easier when you trust your goalie.” Finland came into the game with the reputation of having the most North American style of all the European teams at the tournament. But the Finns couldn’t seem to keep up with the physical Canadians. “They don’t back down. They’re in your face the whole game,” MacKinnon said. “They wanted it bad but I thought we just tired them out. We played good Canadian-style hockey. We’re really physical, which led to our success.” MacKinnon said he’s not used to playing this level of competitive hockey in the summer, but figures the experience will give him a good foundation for his next season with the Mooseheads. “I’ve never experienced anything like this before, but it’s a great way to start the season,” he said. Gill said that scouts for Canada’s under-20 team were at the tournament, and that his players showed they’re ready to take their game to the next level when the time comes. “All of them, it looks like their future is bright to go forward,” he said. “I feel really good about Hockey Canada over the next two, three years.” Earlier Saturday, Sweden bet the Czech Republic 2-1 in the bronze-medal game.

U22 Canadian women drop series to U.S. HOCKEY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — Jocelyne Lamoureux scored the goahead goal midway through the third period as the U.S. swept a three-game exhibition series against Canada’s under-22 women’s hockey team with a 4-3 victory on Sunday. Canada let a 2-0 lead slip away in the second period when the Americans scored three unanswered goals to pull ahead going into the final period. Marie-Philip Poulin scored short handed at 10:40 to tie the game for Canada, but Lamoureux scored less than a minute later with Laura Stacey off for slashing to put the U.S. ahead for good. Despite the sweep, Canadian coach Lisa Jordan pointed out the positives her team can take away from the series. “We’re disappointed with the result but we’re pleased with the growth and performance with game to game,” she said. “We brought a young team into this competition and the U.S. brought an older team. We really went toe-to-toe with them and today was a good example of what we’re capable of. “Performance-wise we grew in a lot of areas and we’ll stay focused on that.” Melodie Daoust opened the scoring for Canada in the first and Sarah Davis doubled the lead six minutes into the second. Brianna Decker scored two straight goals for the U.S. to tie the game and Monique Lamoureux made it 3-2 after two. Monique and Jocelyne Lamoureux each finished with two assists in the game.

Kings soccer play exhibition games The RDC Kings soccer squad saw their first action of the season Saturday facing the Edmonton Extreme U18 Tier I squad in a pair of exhibition games at RDC. The Kings lost 4-0 in the opener and battled to a 3-3 tie in the second game. Patrick Sweiger, Evan Foerster and Julius Abegar scored for RDC. “We didn’t play well the first game, but they have a strong side and are peaking for their provincials,” said RDC head coach Steve Fullarton. “But then it was our first game and the new guys were nervous. The second game we were more relaxed and played much better and probably should have won. “I also got a chance to see all the new guys and I was happy with what I saw.” The Kings, who host the ACAC finals this season, host Grande Prairie in an exhibition game Aug. 29 at 6:30 p.m. at RDC before opening their schedule Sept. 8 in Lakeland. Their home opener is Sept. 15 against SAIT.

Griffin gets first real taste of NFL pressure BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Robert Griffin III: three sacks, no touchdowns. Kirk Cousins: three touchdowns, no sacks. If preseason stats could be taken at face value, one could have fun cobbling together yet another Washington Redskins quarterback controversy, this one involving a pair of rookies. For one thing, fourth-rounder Cousins from Michigan State is naturally more comfortable in the pocket than No. 2 overall pick Griffin, who didn’t get a chance to learn the nuances of a pro-style offence at Baylor. Of course, there is no such QB competition. Griffin played with and against starters during the first half of Saturday night’s 33-31 loss to the Chicago Bears, while Cousins was on the field in the second half with quite a few players who will soon be looking for work. Griffin would have to be inept or injured not to remain the No. 1 guy when the regular season opens, and so far he’s been neither. But he did get his first taste of NFL pressure after a relatively smooth quarter of work in the preseason opener the week before. He lost a fumble deep in Redskins territory on one of the sacks and completed 5 of 8 passes for only 49 yards. “We never really got into a rhythm,” Griffin said. “I think everyone on the (first-string) wanted to go back in the second half.” Growing pains aside, Griffin can’t flourish if he’s always on the run. The game reinforced an ongoing concern about an offensive line that was missing three projected starters — Kory Lichtensteiger, Chris Chester and Jammal Brown. The Redskins (No. 25 in the AP

Pro32) are reasonably hopeful that Lichtensteiger and Chester will be healthy when the regular season starts Sept. 9. And Griffin is also going to need more help from the starting defence, which gave up big plays and lost two starters — two-time Pro Bowl linebacker Brian Orakpo and strong safety

Brandon Meriweather — to injuries in the first quarter. Orakpo and Meriweather were both scheduled for MRIs on Sunday, with coach Mike Shanahan expected to divulge the results when the team reconvenes for practice on Monday. Orakpo reinjured his left shoulder trying to tackle Bears receiver Devin

Hester; it’s the same shoulder that required surgery after the linebacker tore a pectoral muscle in the final game of last season. Meriweather, a significant off-season free agent signing, hurt his left knee when a player fell on him during a touchdown run by Michael Bush. In addition, linebacker London Fletcher added more intrigue to his recent spate of missed practice work by sitting out the game. Shanahan said Fletcher was “not feeling right” and declined to give any more details. The Redskins can’t afford to lose any of those players for long — because the defence is expected to keep games competitive while Griffin deals with the inevitable ups and downs of his rookie season. Not that Griffin appeared rattled by his uneven night. Shanahan’s best compliment about the rookie’s performance had nothing to do with a particular throw. “I liked the way he handled himself,” the coach said. “He is very poised. He is cool, calm, collected. He never seems to lose his composure.” About to take the field with the Redskins trailing 20-10 at halftime, Cousins said he told his fellow secondteamers: “Let’s go down swinging.” He went on to complete 18 of 23 passes for 264 yards and a 154.1 rating, leading a comeback that actually made the waning minutes of the fourth quarter somewhat interesting. While he’s no threat to overtake Griffin anytime soon, Cousins could make a strong challenge to Rex Grossman for the No. 2 job. “There were a lot of plays that I liked, and a lot of where I’m still learning and needing to grow and get better from,” Cousins said. “There were some rookie mistakes, but a good preseason game and a lot to build off of.”

Still no decision on who will lead Titans in opening week BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NASHILLE, Tenn. — The Tennessee Titans still have yet to decide whether Matt Hasselbeck or Jake Locker starts in their third preseason game, and coach Mike Munchak says he could go all the way up to opening week before picking his starting quarterback for the season. “We have done that before, but I don’t necessarily think we will do that,” Munchak said Sunday. Hasselbeck and Locker split work yet again with the first-team offence, rotating between drills Sunday in the final open practice of training camp for Tennessee (No. 21 in the AP Pro 32). Munchak said he will meet with his assistant coaches Sunday night and make a decision on a starter. Asked if the decision will be on the starter for Thursday night’s exhibition against Arizona or for the season, Munchak had a short answer. “We will talk about that tomorrow,” Munchak said. Locker was just 4 of 11 for 21 yards in his first NFL start Friday night, a 30-7 win at Tampa Bay. Hasselbeck, who was intercepted twice in the preseason opener, was 4 of 5 for 29 yards. On Sunday, both had their moments with Hasselbeck picked off in a two-minute drill, while Locker completed 1 of 5 passes. But Hasselbeck had some nice throws to tight ends Jared Cook and Craig Stevens into the end zone on another drill, while Locker made a nice pass to Cook down the right sideline. Munchak said repetitions always help, though they saw Hasselbeck throw for more than 3,500 yards in 2011 with Locker impressive each time he came off the bench as a rookie. “You have ideas on what you think is best, but ultimately you want to let things play out as long as you can and make the best decision for the team,” Munchak said. Neither Hasselbeck nor Locker spoke with reporters Sunday. Cook said the wait to pick a starting quarterback is not causing problems in the locker room and sees no pressure to rush a decision. “It’s good that they kind of push each other. They know that someone’s right on their shoulder. Watch out. Competition’s good,” Cook said. “You’ve got a guy you invested in the future in in Jake and you also have a guy who’s a crafty veteran who knows the game period in Matt. It’s not an easy decision, and we’ve only played two games. You re-

The Titans open Sept. 9 against New England, and coaches will have to decide how many defensive linemen to keep, defensive backs, receivers and linebackers. “This is just one of many that, hopefully, we will get right,” Munchak said of picking a starting quarterback. Receiver will be a challenge while receiver Kenny Britt waits to hear from NFL commissioner Roger Goodell on whether or not his eighth incident involving police merits a suspension and how many games.

Fisher happy with progress in St. Louis BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ST. LOUIS — After opening the preseason with a blowout loss to Indianapolis, expectations were low for the Rams heading into Saturday’s game against Kansas City. A convincing victory over the cross-state rival Chiefs means there’s plenty of room for some optimism. Coach Jeff Fisher said Sunday that he had anticipated a huge difference in production because the team had done so well in practice. A blazing start on offence, with Sam Bradford directing a fourplay, 80-yard drive on the opening possession added to the confidence level. “We worked hard and we got better on the practice field,” Fisher said. “I figured it would carry over.” During the loss to the Colts, Fisher said there never was a time he re-thought his decision to take on the rebuilding job with a franchise that has had 15 wins the past five seasons. “In Indy? Uh, no,” Fisher said. “I thought we let that go, didn’t we? I told you nobody was crying on the airplane going home.” And after the 31-17 victory over Kansas City in the Governor’s Cup game, Fisher found enough errors and rough spots to keep players grounded. “He has a big vision, we all have a big vision of what we want this to be,” middle linebacker

James Laurinaitis said. “One game, even today, this isn’t going to slow us down. Nobody is going to get complacent in this locker room over this game.” In particular, Fisher wants a lot better third down efficiency on both sides of the ball. The Rams were just 4 for 12 on third down. On the other hand, the Rams (No. 28 in the AP Pro32) were 2 for 3 on fourth down — an 8-yard touchdown pass from Sam Bradford to Danny Amendola that made it 14-0 in the first quarter and a 10-yard pass from Kellen Clemens to Brian Quick one play before Isaiah Pead scored from 1 yard in the third quarter. Fisher tempered his criticism by noting the play-calling has been vanilla on both sides. Addressing short-yardage defence, Fisher said “there is a book full of things that we’re not using, and that’s intentional.” The defence was opportunistic, too, with five sacks, three fumble recoveries and an interception. The second-string players held up against the Chiefs starters. “We needed points and we needed explosive plays,” Fisher said after the game. Anytime you get four turnovers, good things happen.“ The Rams have avoided injuries the first two games, with only wide receiver Quick (minor back spasms) hurt against the Chiefs. Plus, Fisher expects centre Scott Wells (knee surgery), wide

receiver Brandon Gibson (hamstring), safety Darian Stewart (hamstring) and cornerback Bradley Fletcher (ribs) back for Week 3 Saturday in Dallas will help retain momentum. Unlike most NFL coaches, Fisher plans on increasing playing time for starters not just this upcoming week but also in the preseason finale, planning on the first string playing into the third quarter in Week 4 against the Ravens Aug. 30. He said most starters had about 20-25 plays against the Chiefs and probably would be bumped as high as 30 snaps against the Cowboys. “Everybody is clearly entitled to do what they want, but if you do nothing or very little, then you’ve done nothing or very little in a two-week span, and to me there’s too much time off,” Fisher said. “So, we’re just going to continue to build.” Before the games count, Fisher believes it’s important for players to experience going through halftime and then getting warmed up again. “I think you lose momentum and you lose ground if you don’t play a significant amount of plays in the fourth preseason game,” Fisher said. The biggest position battle is ongoing at right offensive tackle. Free agent pickup Barry Richardson has started both games ahead of Jason Smith, the second overall pick of the 2009 draft.

Munchak said Britt may not play this preseason as he recovers from a third surgery, on his left knee in late June, and the Titans are preparing for the worst. Britt said he has not heard from the commissioner and is hoping for the best. He said he is working hard in the film room and in the training room to be ready once he is cleared off the physically unable to perform list. He surprised himself by running several passing routes hard recently. “I’m real excited,” Britt said. Notes: S Jordan Babineaux did not practice and said he might not play Thursday night against the Cardinals. He said his right shoulder, which he hurt while in Seattle in 2005 and 2006, is sore but will not prevent him from playing in the regular season.

Coughlin concerned about training camp video THE ASSOCIATED PRESS EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Tom Coughlin talked about the usual pros and cons after watching the video of the Giants’ preseason win over the Jets, and the report on injuries to running back Ahmad Bradshaw and rookie cornerback Jayron Hosley seemed OK. What the Giants coach had a problem with Sunday was a video of Pro Bowl defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul throwing second-year cornerback Prince Amukamara into an ice bath at training camp at the University at Albany. It was tweeted by punter Steve Weatherford before Saturday’s 26-3 win over the Jets, and it contains some inappropriate language. The incident also could be considered either hazing — although that’s odd for a second-year player — or even bullying. Some might explain it as camp bonding, but Amukamara doesn’t look amused. Neither was Coughlin. “I’m learning about that today,” Coughlin said. “I really didn’t have any information about that until maybe an hour ago, an hour before this conference call. I’m going to look into it; I’m going to talk to the parties involved.” It was not clear whether Coughlin had seen the video of Pierre-Paul carrying a non-resistant Amukamara through a hallway as teammates followed, some shouting inappropriate comments. Once Pierre-Paul reaches the ice tubs he seems to fling Amukamara into the water. The cornerback gets out of the water quickly but the look on his face suggests he is upset. “Anything that occurs within this family or within our group should not be a part of any social media aspect,” Coughlin said. “I’m going to address that strongly, and I’ve spent a little time on that this preseason, but I’ll look into it further.”

Biffle wins Michigan, takes over points lead NASCAR BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BROOKLYN, Mich. — Jimmie Johnson looked as if he had already finished the hardest work. After starting at the back of the pack, he had moved up quickly, and when he passed Brad Keselowski for the lead on lap 191 of 200, his No. 48 Chevrolet seemed to be the superior car. Then Johnson’s engine faltered with only six laps remaining. He lost the race — and the NASCAR Sprint Cup points lead — to Greg Biffle on Sunday. “I got it turned around and was catching him, and then his engine failed,” Biffle said. “It was going to be a great race, no matter what. I felt like I could catch him, but we’ll never know. Passing him might have been a different story.” Biffle won the race at Michigan International Speedway, taking advantage when Johnson left the track because of engine trouble. Johnson started the race from the back because of an engine change, and he couldn’t hold on at the end. He finished 27th. After Johnson’s mishap, there was a caution for oil on the track. Biffle held off Keselowski by 0.416 seconds in the green-white-checkered finish. Biffle took over the points lead, while Johnson dropped from first to fourth. Matt Kenseth moved up a spot to second despite a 17th-place showing. “I know that a lot of people don’t expect us to win the championship, and don’t expect us to compete for the title,” Biffle said. “I don’t care what they say or who they want to talk about, but we will be a factor when it comes down to Homestead. I promise you that.” Kasey Kahne finished third in the 400-mile race, followed by Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Marcos Ambrose. It was the 12th victory for Roush Fenway Racing at MIS, breaking a tie with the Wood Brothers for the most wins at the track. Pole sitter Mark Martin was sailing along in the lead for most for the first 65 laps before his race ended in scary fashion. Bobby Labonte went into a spin while Martin was coming up from behind, and Martin went sliding off toward pit road. His car crashed frighteningly into the end of a short, narrow barrier on the interior side of pit road. The side of Martin’s car was essentially impaled by the end of the wall, just in front of the left rear tire and dangerously close to the driver’s seat. But in the smoky scene that followed, Martin was able to get out and walk

Greg Biffle takes the checkered flag to win the NASCAR Sprint Cup Pure Michigan 400 auto race at Michigan International Speedway Sunday, in Brooklyn, Mich. away. “I really feel that was a freak accident. I’m not sure you can ever completely fix something like that,” Martin said. “That was a pretty freak angle that I got it. I’m not sure what you can do. It could have been really bad if I would have got into that hole a little deeper where it would have caught me in the door instead of the crush area back there.” Johnson started from the back, and so did Earnhardt, who was using a backup car after a mishap in practice Saturday. The two Hendrick Motorsports teammates made a solid run of it, but it was Biffle and his No. 16 Ford that emerged at the end. Johnson did not speak to reporters afterward. He was trying to become the first driver to reach four victories this season. Keselowski and Tony Stewart also have three, and drivers will earn bonus points in the Chase for the

Sprint Cup for “regular-season” victories. The Chase starts next month. “The 48 has the most speed and the best history as far as the Chase is concerned,” Keselowski said. “We caught a lucky break that was unfortunate for Jimmie. ... He definitely deserved to win the race. Just didn’t play out that way.” It was Biffle’s second win of the year and third career victory at MIS. Keselowski, racing in his home state, settled for second place for the second straight week. “Just a great day,” Keselowski said. “I don’t know what to say other than I was this close to getting what would have been one of the biggest wins of my career. That would have been really special.” Biffle’s victory was his 18th on the Cup circuit. Earnhardt won at MIS in June, snap-

ping a four-year losing streak. The last driver to sweep the two Cup races at MIS was Labonte in 1995. Earnhardt bounced back with a nice showing amid adversity. That was after finishing 32nd at Pocono and 28th at Watkins Glen the last two races. Stewart and Jeff Gordon both had motor problems, finishing 32nd and 28th. Gordon, Kyle Busch and Carl Edwards entered the race on the outside looking in for the Chase. Those three didn’t do much to change that. Edwards finished sixth and Busch was 13th. There are three more races before the Chase starts. Right now Kahne and Ryan Newman are in line for the two wild card spots that go to the drivers between 11th and 20th in the standings with the most wins. Busch, Gordon, Ambrose and Joey Logano could edge out Newman if any of them win another race.

Durie comes through for Argos in win over Stampeders BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Argonauts 22 Stampeders 14 CALGARY — Andre Durie might not have been pleased with how he played on Saturday against the Calgary Stampeders, but he was definitely happy with the outcome. Durie caught the lone touchdown pass of the game from quarterback Ricky Ray as time expired in the third quarter to help lead the Toronto Argonauts to a 22-14 win over the Stampeders. “It was probably one of the worst games I’ve played,” said Durie, who finished with two catches for 38 yards. “I just found a way to focus and make a play when I could. It felt good to come through and make a play for the team. I felt like I was letting them down all game just with some of the mental errors.” Toronto coach Scott Milanovich praised Durie for coming through in the clutch, despite not having one of his better efforts. “He’s a playmaker,” Milanovich said. “He probably didn’t have his best game tonight, but he made a couple of big plays when he needed to. That’s what you do when you’re a good football player.” Chad Kackert drew his first starting assignment at running back in over a year for the Argos, who made a surprise move last Sunday when they released league-leading rusher Cory Boyd. Kackert finished the game with 94 yards rushing and 41 yards receiving. With the win, the Argos (4-3) ran their winning streak over the Stamps to five. Following Durie’s touchdown, Toronto kicker Swayze Waters then kicked his fifth field goal of the game in the fourth quarter before Calgary quarterback Kevin Glenn tossed an eight yard touchdown pass to Chris Bauman with just 12 seconds left in the game.

Canada’s U18 women’s team tops U.S. in exhibition series HOCKEY

BLAINE, Minn. — Ashleigh Brykaliuk and Karly Heffernan each scored in the shootout as Canada’s under-18 women’s hockey team beat the United States 5-4. Brykaliuk, Hannah Miller, Halli Krzyzaniak, Cassidy Carels each scored for Canada, which won the three-game exhibition series after taking the opener but dropping Game 2. Canada’s head coach Jim Fetter said Sunday the series victory should give Canada confidence ahead of the world championships in December in Vierumaki, Finland. “Now the girls think they can beat the U.S. It’s in their minds so they’re confident,” said Fetter. “I think with the collapse we had in the third today the girls will be a little more focused now going into that game and knowing that we’re going to have to play 60

minutes.” Kimberly Newell made 32 saves in net for Canada, while Americans Alexis Shaw and Sidney Peters combined to stop 22 shots. Amy Menke gave the Americans a 1-0 lead in the first period, but a goal by Brykaliuk took away the advantage at 15:39. Miller scored the lone goal in the second, and a pair of goals by Krzyzaniak and Carels gave Canada a 4-1 lead less than 10 minutes into the third. But the U.S. roared back with two goals by Gracen Hirschy in a twominute span and a single from Danielle Cameranesi to tie the game. “I think the girls got a little lackadaisical, a little complacent, I guess you could say,” said Fetter. “We were up 4-1 and I think that it was pretty much done and the U.S. just kept coming at us. They scored three goals ... but overall I think it was a great learning lesson for us and something that we can build on when we get to worlds.”

Volunteers took to work on Saturday to spruce up Red Deer’s mountain bike park. Justin Walowski works to secure new boards to one of the many ramps throughout the park.

Bikers work to revitalize neglected park space

Jesse Houghton, 18, takes a break from the work to take a few runs down the course.

BY BRENDA KOSSOWAN ADVOCATE STAFF Dedicated mountain bikers turned their muscles and skills to sawing lumber, pulling nails and clearing garbage from a Red Deer city park that has fallen into disuse. They want people to use it. Members of the Central Alberta Bike Club, the young hands have volunteered their time to rehabilitate a mountain bike park located off the Northlands subdivision, uphill from the city’s sewer treatment plant. Too many people don’t even know the park exists while there hasn’t been a great deal of support for its maintenance, said organizers Rod Rysavy, Vince Leckie and Cody Howitt. “There’s been no one looking after it for the last two or three years,” said Rysavy. The park is owned by the city and available to the public under an agreement with the CABC, which is responsible for its upkeep, he said. “(CABC) has been more of a road club, so there hasn’t been a lot of interest in mountain biking and downhill biking,” said Rysavy. “There’s a lot of kids in town that ride here. It’s a very well used area, just not very well maintained. It’s time to take down the

dangerous stuff and build stuff properly,” he said. Included at the park is a variety of wooden obstacles that have fallen into disrepair. Among their tasks on Saturday, members of the club were tearing down some pieces and rebuilding others to ensure that the park is safe. They have also started clearing trail and cleaning up junk that had been abandoned in the park, including a rusted bicyle frame attached to a mangled wheel. Even the signs at the two entries to the park are in need of an upgrade. Howitt has been leading the charge for the last few years to build more obstacles for single-track riders, whose extreme techniques include riding along narrow strips raised above groundlevel. “I’ve got a 12-year-old and a nine-yearold, and I want them to be able to come here,” he said. All three said the moutain bikers within the club could use more help to improve

the park and raise the level of opportunities it is able to offer, including potential for competitions. Existing club members also want more people to be aware of the park to help encourage riders to come there to develop their skills rather than damaging other city parks by building illegal obstacles and riding off the trails. They seek volunteers to help out as well as sponsors and donors to help cover costs of lumber, insurance and other expenses that go with maintaining a safe and enjoyble bike park. Open 24 hours a day, the park can be reached from either of two entries — one on the hillside across 77th Street from the SPCA and the other at the curve where 49th Ave. flows into 79th Street, kitty-corner from Home Hardware and along the south fence of Wheels On Ltd.

New hours a sore spot for some market vendors BY BRENDA KOSSOWAN ADVOCATE STAFF A tincture of controversy has done little to mar the shopping experience at public markets in Red Deer and Bentley. This year, the Red Deer public market — owned and operated by former city councillor and Red Deer College instructor Dennis Moffat and his son, Patrick — extended its hours in a bid to give shoppers more time to drop in and check out the goods and services being offered. “We sell anything that’s legal,” the senior Moffat said while maneuvering his pickup truck from trash can to trash can on Saturday morning. Now in its 42nd year, the Red Deer market’s official hours were changed to 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays, an addition of 2.5 hours from previous years, when it ran from 9 a.m. to 12:30. That move has stopped a number of vendors from attending the Bentley Farmer’s Market, which runs on Saturday afternoons from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m., said manager Judy Esmond. In past years, a number of vendors had been attending both markets, tearing down in Red Deer in time to make the 40-minute drive to set up in Bentley. The change at Red Deer hasn’t slowed down the number of people coming to the market, but it has limited the variety of produce available to them, Esmond said on Friday. Vendors in Red Deer on Saturday morning said they now have to work longer, but haven’t seen an increase in sales. Honey producer Brian Nixon and vegetable farmer Hank Pluister both said their sales volumes have not increased along with the workload. Nixon anticipates serious problems as vendors who hope to make both markets shut down early so they can get to Bentley in time. Nothing has happened so far, but with so many people and vehicles moving through the parking lot, it’s just a matter of time before it does, he said.

Shelley Bradshaw of Innisfail Growers helps Guy Boisvert of Red Deer select some fresh produce during the Red Deer Public Market Saturday morning. The market’s popularity continues to grow, as does the demand for locally grown fresh fruits and vegetables. Dennis Moffat said he and Patrick guide vendors out if they want to leave early. While he understands the grumbling coming from behind the tables, he said the move has received a great response from shoppers who had difficulty getting to the market in past years because of its limited hours. Moffat said he doesn’t encourage vendors to leave early, nor does he situate their sites so they can dash off. Located in the parking lot in front of the Red Deer Arena, the Red Deer market is having a much better year than it did in 2011, when foul weather virtually washed the market away on three separate Saturdays, he said. This past Saturday was the second best of the year, with 208 vendors on site. So far, the best day this year was on its second Saturday, when 222 vendors set up their wares. The Red Deer market sees an average of 165 to 180 vendors, said Moffat. Like the market itself, producers have been at the whim of the weather, with early rains setting some crops back. Oddly enough, the Red Deer market seems to at-

tract the most shoppers when it’s drizzly and wet, said Moffat. The crowds don’t seem quite as thick on hotter, sunnier mornings, he said. Reanna Jempson, in charge of the Pearson’s Berry Farm stand, said the early rains had caused uneven growth in their berry crops, so berries had to be picked one-byone rather than in bunches. Pearson’s did not offer fresh berries for sale as a result, but was giving away berries to people who wanted to pick their own, said Jempson. Pluister said his crops were late because of the early rains, but recovered nicely with excellent yields, He said his best item this year has been cauliflower, which has been in high demand. Nixon said his production levels are dependent on God’s will. “He gives sun and rain and it all works out,” said Nixon. Bentley Farmer’s Market runs until the Labour Day Weekend. The Red Deer public market continues until Thanksgiving. bkossowan@reddeeradvocate.com

HEINEKEN RAISES BID FOR ASIA PACIFIC BREWERIES AMSTERDAM, Netherlands — Dutch brewer Heineken NV has raised its bid for a controlling stake in Tiger Beer maker Asia Pacific Breweries to $4.47 billion, hoping to ward off a rival bid. Singapore conglomerate Fraser and Neave agreed early Saturday to sell its 39.7 per cent stake in APB to Heineken, which would give the Dutch brewer 81.6 per cent of APB. Heineken thought it had sealed the deal with a $4.23 billion bid in July, but Thai Beverage then offered Fraser and Neave 55 Singapore dollars ($43.91) per share for a 7.3 per cent stake in APB — better than Heineken’s 50 Singapore dollars ($39.92) per share bid. Heineken’s new bid is 53 Singapore dollars ($42.31), but it covers Fraser and Neave’s whole stake. Saturday’s deal includes a $47 million break fee for Heineken.

Loonie lower after July inflation BY MALCOLM MORRISON THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — The Canadian dollar was lower Friday as the latest reading on inflation made it more unlikely that the central bank will raise interest rates any time soon. The loonie declined 0.2 of a cent to 101.15 cents US after closing Thursday at a fresh 3 ½ month high. Statistics Canada reported that the Consumer Price Index declined 0.1 per cent on a seasonally adjusted basis in July, after decreasing 0.2 per cent in June. Economists had looked for a 0.1 per cent rise. This marked the third consecutive monthly decline in the seasonally adjusted CPI. The agency said Friday that consumer prices rose at an annual rate of 1.3 per cent in the 12 months to July, following a 1.5 per cent gain in June. Losses in the currency picked up after the release of the report since “today’s data suggest little near-term inflationary pressures in the domestic economy, another reason for the Bank of Canada to keep rates on hold,” observed CIBC World Markets economist Emanuella Enenajor. The currency fell about five cents in May and early June to around the 96-cent US

STRIKING CATERPILLAR WORKERS AGREE TO DEAL JOLIET, Ill. — Nearly 800 striking workers at the Caterpillar Inc. plant in Joliet ratified a new contract Friday with the heavy equipment manufacturer after spending months on the picket line. Caterpillar said in a statement that members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers voted to approve the new proposal. Company and union officials worked out the deal with a federal mediator earlier this week. “We are pleased with the outcome of the vote and certainly happy to have our employees coming back to work,” said Tim Flaherty, Caterpillar’s general manager of advanced components systems operations. “We know situations like this are never easy and that it impacts not just employees, but their families. I think everyone involved is ready to get this behind us.” Caterpillar described the agreement as a “competitive wage and benefits package.”

level when the European debt crisis took a turn for the worse as markets focused on high debt levels in Spain. Nervous traders bailed out of risky investments such as equities, commodities and resource-based currencies such as the loonie and piled into U.S. Treasuries. But optimism has improved on hopes that central bankers are prepared to do whatever is necessary to keep the economic recovery on track and preserve the Euro-

pean monetary union. This was also the case Friday when traders reacted favourably to remarks by German Chancellor Angela Merkel during her visit to Ottawa. She said Thursday that her country — Europe’s biggest economy — is committed to doing everything it can to maintain the euro currency union. There have also been high hopes that the U.S. Federal Reserve will announce another round of economic stimulus in September. But such a move has been thrown into doubt in the wake of recent positive economic data, including better than expected readings on job creation, retail sales and industrial production. Commodity prices were mainly higher with the September crude contract on the New York Mercantile Exchange up 28 cents to US$95.88 a barrel. Copper added to Thursday’s three-cent advance, up another four cents to US$3.42 a pound. Prices for the metal, viewed as an economic bellwether as it is used in so many industries, gave up ground earlier this week in the wake of weak Chinese export growth data and much lower than expected Japanese economic growth in the second quarter. But bullion dipped 50 cents to US$1,618.70 an ounce.

Labrador Trough miners optimistic about future despite falling iron ore prices THE CANADIAN PRESS

DETROIT — Suzuki is recalling nearly 102,000 cars in the U.S. to fix a wiring problem that can cause the headlights to go out. The recall covers Forenza compacts from the 2004 to 2006 model years, and Reno compacts from 2005 and 2006. The company says wires behind the dashboard can heat up and melt part of the wiring assembly. This can cause the low- and high-beam headlights to fail, increasing the risk of a crash. It was not clear whether the problem has caused any crashes or injuries. Dealers will reconnect wires at no cost to the owners.

MONTREAL — Canada’s mining industry remains confident about the Labrador Trough’s long-term prospects even though waning iron ore prices could prompt some companies to delay their massive development projects in Quebec’s northern region. The spot price of iron ore set a 2-½-year low falling to US$111.90 per tonne this week, the weakest since December 2009 amid weakened demand in China. The price is down nearly 20 per cent this year. That’s prompted companies such as Labrador Iron Mines (TSX:LIM) to review their capital spending plans for development programs in Quebec’s key producing region. “You’ll see some of the major companies taking a pause perhaps, recalibrating maybe, but everybody is still pretty bullish about the long term,” says Pierre Gratton of the Mining Association of Canada. Prices may have fallen from last year’s high of US$170, but they are still three to four times above their historical average. Urbanization in China has boosted demand for the key ingredient in steel making. Growth in the world’s second-largest economy may have slowed, but it’s still forecasted to be about 7.5 per cent per year. That creates a strong fundamental support for the mining industry, said Gratton. Urbanized communities use 10 to 15

times more steel intensity than rural settings. More than six billion people — the world’s current population — are expected to live in cities by 2050. “China is still expected over the next few decades to consume a lot of steel and we’re expecting the volatility of the moment largely as a result of what’s going on in Europe to eventually fade and we’ll return to the kind of prices we’ve been enjoying until recently.” Adriana Resources’ Lac Otelnuk project has Canada’s largest known iron ore deposit and could potentially be one of the largest in the world, with an annual output of 50 million tonnes. Chief executive Allen Palmiere said commodity prices and financing are key factors that drive timing decisions, but its project is based on a US$75 spot price for iron. “At that level, the economics appear to be robust so we still have a reasonably high degree of comfort even at today’s prices,” he said in an interview. But that may not be the case for all projects in the Labrador Trough, a 1,000 kilometre belt stretching from Ungava Bay in northern Quebec through Labrador. “I think there’s potential for some projects to be delayed,” he said. Projects are typically delayed if companies have trouble obtaining financing if commodity prices and equity markets are weak. In addition to pricing pressures, fi-

Pierre Gratton, CEO of the Mining Association of Canada nancial problems in Europe are creating a big overhang, said Palmiere. “If we see any kind of strengthening in the near term, I wouldn’t anticipate there being a big impact, but if there’s a sustained reduction in commodity prices, unquestionably you’ll see deferment of projects,” he said, unwilling to say which ones he views as most at risk.

Greece won’t leave eurozone, exit isn’t politically feasible THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BERLIN — Greece won’t leave the 17-nation eurozone, Luxembourg’s prime minister said, arguing in an interview published Saturday that an exit wouldn’t be politically feasible and would carry unforeseeable risks. Greece has been kept afloat by international loans, but has fallen behind on implementing reforms and austerity measures demanded in exchange, fueling impatience in Germany and other prosperous nations and speculation about a possible euro exit. But Luxembourg Prime Minister JeanClaude Juncker, who also chairs eurozone finance ministers’ meetings, was quoted as saying in an interview with Austrian newspaper Tiroler Tageszeitung: “It will not happen — unless Greece violates all the conditions and keeps to no agreements.”

“In the case of a total refusal by Greece regarding budget consolidation and structural reforms, one would have to deal with the question,” he said, according to the report. “But because I assume that Greece will try to redouble its efforts and achieve the targets that have been set, there is no reason to assume that this exit scenario can become relevant.” Juncker said an exit would be “technically,” but not “politically” feasible and insisted: “We are not working on it.” There’s little enthusiasm among creditors such as Germany for granting Greece more time to fulfil the terms of its international aid packages or other concessions. Juncker said it wasn’t possible to say whether Athens might be granted more time before a report next month from its debt inspectors, but he doesn’t currently consider an extension “absolutely necessary.”

Germany’s vice chancellor, Economy Minister Philipp Roesler, said recently that the idea of Greece leaving the euro has “lost its horror.” A regional official with one of the country’s governing parties, Bavarian state finance minister Markus Soeder, has called for Greece to leave the currency this year and argued that “an example must be made of Athens.” There has been no such talk from Chancellor Angela Merkel or Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble, though they also have shown little appetite for concessions. “I have always said that we can help the Greeks, but we cannot responsibly throw money into a bottomless pit,” Schaeuble said during an appearance Saturday at his ministry’s annual open day. He conceded that “it is immensely difficult for the Greeks,” and said that Germans shouldn’t speak “disrespectfully” of other nations.

2.9 per cent in Winnipeg, three per cent in Toronto and 3.5 per cent in Halifax. Housing prices can vary greatly in different regions in the country. The average price of a house in April this year in those same cities varied from a low of $261,263 in Winnipeg to $735,556 in Vancouver. In Canada, gains made on houses or condominiums are tax free as long as they are your primary residence. However, if housing costs are significantly higher in the new jurisdiction, you may have difficulty finding a similar living situation for the same money and you may have to borrow to afford it. Mortgages generally are transferrable from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, but if you do have to close out your mortgage you could get hit with redemption fees for breaking it before it expires. Then there are legal costs and, in some provinces, land transfer taxes apply. These are provincial taxes levied on real estate that changes hands. They are the responsibility of the purchaser and can range anywhere from 0.5 per cent to two per cent.

DFO promises science later for controversial pipeline BY DENE MOORE THE CANADIAN PRESS

GM, Isuzu recall 258K SUVs to fix switches that can cause fires THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DETROIT — General Motors and Isuzu are recalling more than 258,000 SUVs in the U.S. and Canada to fix short-circuits in power window and door lock switches that can cause fires. The recall covers Chevrolet TrailBlazer, GMC Envoy, Buick Rainier, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 97-X SUVs from the 2006 and 2007 model years. The SUVs were sold or registered in 20 U.S. states, Washington, D.C., and Canada, where salt and other chemicals are used to clear roads in the winter. GM has reports of 28 fires, and it doesn’t know of any injuries caused by the problem. Fluid containing the road-clearing chemicals can get inside the driver’s door and cause corrosion in the power-window and door-switch circuit boards, according to documents posted on the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website. The corrosion can cause short-circuits, knocking out the switches and causing fires. Dealers will replace the power-window switch for free, according to documents posted Saturday by NHTSA. Owners will get letters telling them when to schedule appointments. GM also will make repairs at no cost to owners living in states not covered by the recall, spokesman Alan Adler said in an email. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration started investigating the SUVs in February after getting a dozen complaints of fires. In one complaint filed with NHTSA, from Oct. 29, 2008, a woman reported that the alarm sounded while her 2006 TrailBlazer was parked in her driveway. When she looked outside, she saw the SUV in flames.

MINERS: Prices may fall further still

March 2014, that will help reduce costs to producers. The federal government is contributing $55 million to the $220-million project. That project could help Labrador Iron Mines to dramatically reduce its costs, which are elevated because of an estimated US$20 per ton paid to Rio Tinto in marketing and freight fees. Lower iron ore prices cut Labrador’s revenues in the second quarter and prompted the spending review. Przybylowski expects the company will likely target its Houston project for spending cuts. Construction of a $10 million rail siding planned this year could be deferred until 2013 with minimal impact on the development project’s overall timing. “Further spending deferrals beyond this item would likely lead to delays in project start-up,” she wrote in a report.

Jackie Przybylowski of Desjardins Capital Markets said projects most at risk are ones earlier in their development that haven’t locked up agreements with steel producers, financing or feasibility studies. “Our view is that all the projects in our coverage universe are economic still and they would not be at risk,” she said. The analyst covers Adriana Resources (TSX:ADI), Alderon Iron Ore Corp. (TSX:ADV), Champion Minerals (TSX:CHM), Labrador Iron Ore Royalty Corp. (TSX:LIF.UN), Labrador Iron Mines Holdings and New Millennium Iron Corp. She expects that the addition of new supply from Canada and leading markets in Australia and Brazil could prompt ore prices to fall further in the longer term to US$92 per tonne. But Jeff Hussey of Champion MinerMany provinces have a multi-tiered als hopes such forecasts are wrong. taxation system.

TURN INCOME TAX INTO INCOME.

— DFO LETTER JUNE 6, 2012

But the federal government recently sent letters to 92 habitat staff members within Fisheries and Oceans in B.C., telling them that their positions will be cut. Thirty-two of them will be laid off outright. The cuts will mean the department in B.C. has half the habitat staff it had a decade ago. All but five of the province’s fisheries field offices will be cut as part of a $79 million — 5.8 per cent — cut to the department’s operational budget, including the offices in Prince George and Smithers that would have had the lead in monitoring pipeline effects. The marine contaminant group that would have been involved in a spill in B.C. has been disbanded and the fisheries and environmental legislation gutted, said Otto Langer, a retired fisheries department scientist. “He (Harper) says the science will make the decision. Well he’s basically disembowelled the science,” said Langer. “It’s a cruel hoax that they’re pulling over on the public.” Former federal Liberal fisheries minister David Anderson agrees. Given the Dec. 31, 2013, deadline set by the federal government, Anderson said scientists in the Fisheries Department simply don’t have time to complete any substantial scientific study of the project. “You can’t do these studies on the spur of the moment. It takes time to do them,” Anderson said. “And the federal Fisheries have just been subjected to the most remarkable cuts, so you’re in the throes of reorganization and reassessment and re-assigning people, and on top of it you throw them a major, major request for resources and work. “It can’t be done.” The department has three major projects in B.C. currently undergoing federal environmental assessment: Northern Gateway, a massive hydroelectric project called the Site C dam, and a gold-copper mine near Williams Lake, B.C., that was previously rejected following a federal environmental review. Dr. Steve Hrudey, who was chairman of the Royal Society of Canada’s expert panel on the environmental impact of the oil sands two years ago, said it is normal for the company asking for environmental approval — in this case Enbridge — to provide the information in question in the review process.

Other major factors to consider in a relocation is the employment opportunities of your spouse or partner, and the impact that it will have on your children and their education. So it’s important to take into account all the financial, personal and familial costs before deciding to relocate. “Even if the job offer appears irre-

sistible, before uprooting your entire life and family, research all the ramifications and get some expert advice,” Knodel said.

VANCOUVER — While Prime Minister Stephen Harper says the fate of Enbridge’s proposed pipeline from the Alberta oilsands to tankers on the British Columbia coast will be based on science and not politics, documents show some of that science isn’t forthcoming. And critics say there is no time for the science to be completed before a federal deadline for the environmental assessment currently underway. Documents filed with the National Energy Board show the environmental review panel studying the Northern Gateway project asked Fisheries and Oceans Canada for risk assessments for the bodies of water the proposed pipeline will cross. The pipeline is to traverse nearly 1,000 streams and rivers in the upper Fraser, Skeena and Kitimat watersheds. The department didn’t have them. “As DFO has not conducted a complete review of all proposed crossings, we are unable to submit a comprehensive list as requested; however, this work will continue and, should the project be approved, our review will continue into the regulatory permitting phase,” DFO wrote in a five-page letter dated June 6, 2012. The response went on to say there “may be differences of opinion” between the company and the department on the risk posed by the pipeline at some crossings. It provided two examples of crossings of tributaries to the Kitimat River where Enbridge rated the risk as low but Fisheries rated it medium to high. DFO said the federal ministry will continue to work with the company to determine the risk level and level of mitigation required. “DFO is of the view that the risk posed by the project to fish and fish habitat can be managed through appropriate mitigation and compensation measures,” said the department’s response. “Under the current regulatory regime, DFO will ensure that prior to any regulatory approvals, the appropriate mitigation measures to protect fish and fish habitat will be based on the final risk assessment rating that will be determined by DFO.” Earlier this month, Harper told reporters in Vancouver that “decisions on these kinds of projects are made through an independent evaluation conducted by scientists into the economic costs and risks that are associated with the project, and that’s how we conduct our business.” He went on to say “the only way that government can handle controversial projects of this manner is to ensure that things are evaluated on an independent basis, scientifically, and not simply on political criteria.”

Sounds of music flood Central Alberta A FOURTH ENTRY IN CONCERT SCENE HAS CREATED A MUSIC LOVER’S PARADISE IN AND AROUND RED DEER BY BRENDA KOSSOWAN ADVOCATE STAFF

Photo by MELISSA ARTHUR/Advocate staff

Dick Damron performs at the Central Music Festival just outside of Red Deer Sunday. The threeday festival wrapped up on Sunday with a number of performances by local musicians.

The hills came alive with the sounds of music. So did the river, the lake, the streets, the pubs . . . A fourth entry in Central Alberta’s concert scene has created a music lover’s paradise in and around Red Deer, starting and ending with Jazz at the Lake, which opened at Sylvan Lake on Thursday evening and finished with a Farewell Jam session on Sunday evening. In between, the Central Music Festival set up in a natural amphitheatre just north of the city from Friday to Sunday, the third-annual Fiestaval Latin Festival took over two blocks of Ross Street on Saturday and the Daines Ranch hosted its first ever Texas Connection festival from Friday through Sunday. Texas Connection organizer Adam Daines and his cousin, singing cowboy Denver Daines, are flush with the success of their new show, even though it didn’t attract a huge crowd of people. The music was awesome and the performers are getting ready to try again next year, certain that more people will come as they learn more about Texas music, which straddles the line between country and rock, said Denver Daines, who performed in the festival after winning the saddle bron event at the rodeo in Jasper. Adam Daines said the Texas Connection was timed to mesh with another Texas music festival that takes place in Idaho a week earlier. Following on the heels of the Idaho show makes it easier to attract performers who are already within a reasonable driving distance of the ranch, he said. Having so many music festivals on the same weekend is unavoidable in Alberta’s short summer and it’s not really a bad thing, said Eric Allison, co-producer of Jazz at the Lake. People were given — and took — an opportunity to enjoy different styles of music in an array of formats. Jazz at the Lake included five major shows, of which four sold out, he said. In between, there were free shows at a variety of venues and a Sunday “pub crawl,” with performers popping into a series of venues for short gigs throughout the day. Central Music Festival, on the other hand, was a weekend event with a series of performers taking turns on the stage, along with a variety of other activities for participants, of whom a large number had camped at the site. Organizer Mike Bradford said the Central Music Festival was more broad-based than the others, offering a full range of music styles. Bradford said he didn’t see any conflict between the four festivals, given the tremendous variety of music and venues from which participants could choose. Overall, organizers for all four festivals said they enjoyed brilliant weather and excellent music, with plans underway to do it again next year. bkossowan@reddeeradvocate.com

HILL CITY, S.D. — Country singer Wynonna Judd says she is postponing scheduled concerts in Canada next week after her husband was hurt in a motorcycling accident in South Dakota. The state Highway Patrol says 55-year-old Michael Moser of Nashville, Tenn., was riding a motorcycle north on U.S. Highway 16 in the Black Hills when he crossed the centre line and hit a car. Moser was airlifted to Rapid City Regional Hospital with serious but not life-threatening injuries. Judd was riding ahead of her husband and was not involved in the crash. Moser was cited for crossing the centre line and not having a motorcycle license. Judd said in a statement released Sunday that she loves Moser deeply and will remain by his side as he recovers. The two were married in June.

LA police investigating Bynes for traffic accident LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles police are investigating a minor traffic accident involving actress Amanda Bynes after a person reported the actress left without providing her information. Police Lt. Andy Neiman said Sunday the 26-yearold actress stopped after the accident and looked at the other vehicle and determined there wasn’t any damage. Police said Bynes drove away without giving her information, which is required by law. Neiman said police will turn over the case over to the city attorney’s office for review. No one was injured and the damage to the other person’s vehicle in the Aug. 4 incident was more than $800. Bynes has pleaded not guilty to a driving under the influence charge after she was arrested in April for grazing a sheriff’s patrol car.

Nicki Minaj cancels performances due to damaged vocal cords NEW YORK — Nicki Minaj has cancelled her appearance at this weekend’s V Festival in the United Kingdom because of damage to her vocal cords. Her representative says in an email that Minaj will have to back out of her shows on Saturday and Sunday because of “strained vocal cords.” Minaj performed a free concert in New York City on Wednesday, though she had been advised by her doctor to rest. Her rep now says her voice is “worse,” and that recent X-rays show that the singer-rapper must “rest her voice for a few days.” The two-day V Festival also features The Killers, David Guetta, LMFAO and The Stone Roses. Minaj performed for more than two hours at her New York show. It featured Drake, Lil Wayne and Foxy Brown.

North Dakota diner owner asked to open early surprised when Tom Hanks walks in for breakfast WEST FARGO, N.D. — The owner of a diner in North Dakota got a surprise Friday when actor Tom Hanks showed up for an early breakfast. Tammy Hagensen says she got a call Thursday evening from a jet company that often sends their pilots to TNT’s Diner in West Fargo. A company official asked if she would open early Friday for a special guest whose name could not be revealed right away. Hagensen told the Forum newspaper (http://bit.ly/ N73JbT) she agreed to open early because she was curious. She says she was stunned when Hanks, his wife, Rita Wilson, and their two sons walked through the door. Hagensen says Hanks and his family ate breakfast and left, but not before a couple of photos were taken and he signed a couple of T-shirts.

LOS ANGELES — Sylvester Stallone and his beefy buddies have muscled their way to the top of the weekend box office. Stallone’s action hero roundup “The Expendables 2” debuted at No. 1 with $28.8 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. That’s down from the $34.8 million start for “The Expendables” two years ago. The Lionsgate sequel elbowed out another action tale as Universal’s “The Bourne Legacy” fell to No. 2 in its second weekend with $17 million. That was a steep 55 per cent drop from its $38.1 million opening weekend, though the movie’s domestic total climbed to a solid $69.6 million. Three other wide releases opened to modest business. Focus Features’ animated comedy “ParaNorman, about a boy leading the fight against zombies that rise from the grave, was No. 3 with $14 million. Sony’s music remake “Sparkle,” featuring “American Idol” winner Jordin Sparks and Whitney Houston, was No. 5 with $12 million. The update of the 1976 movie centres on three sisters who form a singing group in the late 1960s. Disney’s family fantasy “The Odd Life of Timothy Green” was No. 7 with $10.9 million. The movie stars Jennifer Garner and Joel Edgerton as a childless couple who become instant parents to a boy that magically appears in their lives. The newcomers and holdovers combined to lift Hollywood’s overall business. Domestic revenues totalled $139 million, up 12 per cent from the same weekend last year, when “The Help” led with $20 million, according to box-office tracker Hollywood. com. Business had been down the previous three weekends this summer, which has fallen short of the record-setting business many studio executives were predicting at the start of the season. Since the first weekend of May, revenues total $3.9 billion, down 5 per cent from last summer’s, when Hollywood finished with an all-time high of $4.4 billion for the season, according to Hollywood.com.

Fighting fire with apps

B.C. RESEARCHERS DEVELOP EXPERIMENTAL APP THAT COULD PREVENT FOREST FIRES

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER — When it comes to predicting and reducing the threat of wildfires, there’s something the maps and satellite and aerial pictures that detail British Columbia’s expansive forests don’t show. Below the forest canopy sits the socalled fuel for forest fires — the grass, branches, dead trees, needles and other materials that will burn if the forest ignites. But it’s difficult to assess the fire risk without knowing how much fuel, and what type, exists in a particular area — a problem researchers in Vancouver hope an experimental smartphone app could one day help solve. University of British Columbia graduate student Colin Ferster is currently testing an app he designed that will let smartphone users — from landowners to hikers to local park officials — document the fuel risks while in the province’s forests. The app shows users pictures of various fuels and asks them to compare those pictures with their own observations. They’ll also be asked to snap photos from their smartphones’ camera. The entire package is then sent back to Ferster, along with GPS data he can use to create detailed maps of potential fuel risks. “We’re normally using satellites and air photos to make maps of forests, and those are providing a really good picture from the top looking down, so

B.C. researchers are testing an app that will let smartphone users document the fuel risks while in the province’s forests. we’re getting the tree tops but we’re not getting a big picture of what’s happening at the ground level,” explains Ferster. “That’s why measurements with smartphones could be a really useful source of information.” Ferster has been field testing the app this summer in the province’s Okanagan region, which is among the areas of B.C. that face a perennial threat of forest fires. He said volunteer testers have been able to use the app, currently written for the iPhone, to identify potential fire risks. Ferster hopes his research will one

day put it in the hands of the public, which he said will accomplish two things. First, such an app could help improve existing data on fuel risks, allowing everyone from community foresters to provincial fire officials to better assess and mitigate forest fire threats. “Fire managers need to decide where to use their resources, and that’s why better fuel maps can be beneficial, to provide more information for those types of people to make effective decisions,” he said. Second, Ferster hopes the app would serve as a public engagement tool, teaching users to identify forest

risks and take steps to reduce them, particularly for landowners. “I think different users would use the app differently, depending on whether it’s someone using it in their own backyard versus a park manager,” he said. “There’s a homeowner who can maybe cut the grass, clear brush and branches, maybe hire an arborist to do some thinning. And then there are community foresters, so these maps could provide another sort of information for them to effectively consider these kinds of things at the community level.” Ferster notes the app is currently experimental and he can’t predict when the technology might be available to the public. B.C.’s wildfire seasons vary widely from year to year. Last year was one of the slowest on record, while the year before saw 331,000 hectares scorched by nearly 1,700 fires. The most expensive season in the past decade was in 2009, when more than 3,000 fires cost the province more than $383 million to fight. And B.C. isn’t the only province or territory to deal with major forest fires. In Ontario, for example, fires burn an average of 128,000 hectares of land each year. Last year, 1,300 fires burned more than 630,000 hectares of land across the province. It marked the largest area burned in the past 50 years, costing that province $230 million — more than twice the yearly average.

Dad ignoring kids, thanks to new family

ANNIE ANNIE

want them to resent their father. But I also don’t want my children, especially my sons, to think that if a marriage doesn’t work out, parenting is optional. I get that my ex is completely smitten with his baby, which is fine. But why should he ignore his other children? Do I talk to them about this and let them know it’s not acceptable behaviour? — Curled Dear Curled: Please do not criticize your ex-husband to your children. They understand exactly what is going on and can feel how unacceptable it is. Instead, try speaking to your ex-husband. Tell him that his older children still need to be part of his life, and by neglecting them, they absorb the message that he no longer loves them. Perhaps you could work together to find a solution. It also would be in everyone’s best interest if they form a relationship with their new sibling. Dear Annie: My husband and I were invited to a surprise birthday dinner at a nice restaurant. We certainly were surprised when we were asked to pay our share of the bill. We assumed that when invited, we would be guests. The non-paying kind. When I hosted a dinner for my husband’s birthday, I asked people to be my guests, and I paid the bill. So what is the proper approach when you invite people and expect them to pay? And how do we find out in advance that we’re not actually guests at these events? — Redondo Beach Dear Redondo: Too many people these days be-

The steps will be SHAH self-directed, and SUN SIGNS the results are those we can be proud of. It will be a great day, enjoy! HAPPY BIRTHDAY: You are able to summon the right mix of responsibility and determination, fueled with energy and ambition, to make impressive gains steadily over the year. Random connections fill you with exuberance. It will be a great year, enjoy! ARIES (March 21-April 19): You are stronger than you have given yourself credit for. You may now be afraid of something, but it will turn out to be an illusion. Once you face it, you will make leaps and bounds towards having the inner certainty that there really is nothing you cannot face. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Some of us hold a picturesque childhood. Others recall dysfunction. Most are somewhere in the middle. You are reformulating the hurt so it no longer holds an emotional charge. By strengthening the love, it secures your foundation. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The way we speak with our co-workers may be different than with our friends, parents, or our supervisors. You have treated someone with one demeanor when it should be another. Simply change direction or apologize, as appropriate. CANCER (June 21-July 22): No matter what previous reconciliations, you are being granted the opportunity to grasp how some of the best values you hold might come from the least appreciated parts of your past. Your new angle of an old hurt can alter your future. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “Trust yourself. Think for yourself. Act for yourself. Speak

for yourself. Be yourself. Imitation is suicide.” Marva Collins words are speaking to the heart of your current situation. You know what you need and will not settle. Be adamantly truthful in all that you are. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Sometimes it feels like forces of fate overcome us. These times are made easier when we open our hands and surrender in faith. Then there are times where we can see a purpose for ourselves and harness our power towards it. You are in such a time. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): There are new aspects of your being arising now that come up and may surprise you. They are pointing to the self-knowledge you need to become who you are meant to be next. You are growing exponentially and in new ways. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Faith requires an inner certainty that cannot always be rationalized, especially to those who do not believe the same. However, there is value in attempting to put it into words. Be open to an enlightening conversation that clarifies what you trust. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): It is not about the things that others do. It is how much it affects us, which reveals how content we are with our own choices. Your interactions now can provide honest reflection of how you really feel about some key aspect of your life right now. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You are now in a special time where you begin to release a fear you thought would haunt you forever. This will ensure that your future is much freer from the limitations of your past, and therefore much more fearless. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): People reveal how at peace they are with their own choices by how at peace they are with the world. To be direct requires the rare bravery demanded by honest self-reflection. Be valiant now. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Life holds major responsibilities, like how we have to cultivate our own happiness. Then there is the responsibility we have to our day, to live it well, being as useful as we are capable of being. Focus on what needs to be done today.

lieve it is OK to issue an invitation and then saddle the guests with an invoice. We call that “fundraising.” Here is the way to ask people to assume hosting duties: “Several of Bill’s friends want to organize a party for him at Lovely Restaurant and split the bill. Would you like to be a part of it?” When you have been invited and the hosting duties are unclear, it is OK to ask questions, such as, “Are we also hosting this event?” or “Do I need to bring my chequebook?” Dear Annie: I am 16, and when I read the letter from Frustrated in the Midwest, all I could think was, “Are you kidding me?” She has a problem with the grandparents attending the grandkids’ events? I have an 18-year-old sister and a 13-year-old brother. We’re all involved in various sports and school events. We’re grateful that our grandparents think enough of us to be there. I would feel horrible if they didn’t want to watch me. It sounds like the mother who wrote this letter is pretty selfish to choose the parents of other schoolkids over her own parents. Saying the grandparents have no friends is all the more reason to invite them to these things. That family sounds a little dysfunctional to me. — Grateful Grandkid Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Dear Annie: I am a single mother of six children, the youngest of whom is 12. I divorced their father 10 years ago. I am the custodial parent and receive child support. I don’t have any issues with my ex’s financial responsibilities. It is visitation that is the problem. Although he’s never been one to phone the kids, he used to see them every other weekend and had them for a week’s time twice a year. Three years ago, he married a woman with no kids, and that’s when visitation became less frequent. Last year, he and his wife had a baby, and they moved 150 MITCHELL km away into a two-bedroom & SUGAR apartment. When he does have our four minor kids, he arranges a hotel stay. My ex is a consultant and is currently between jobs. He informed me that he cannot afford the hotels now, so visitation is on hiatus. Then he took a week-long beach vacation. My kids don’t appear to think there is anything wrong with his behaviour. I think it is abhorrent, but have never said anything to the kids because I don’t

HEINZLMEIR It is with sorrow that we announce the passing of Marvin John Heinzlmeir on Wednesday, August 15, 2012 at the age of 73 years. Marvin was born in Calgary, AB, and resided with his family in the Rockyford and Rosebud areas until his family relocated to Red Deer in 1954. In 1956 Marvin met Arlene Mckenzie, and after a two year courtship they were married in November 1958. Marvin was an extremely hard worker and great with anything that required mechanical aptitude. In his younger years he worked pumping gas, delivering bread and on paving crews, later he pursued an apprenticeship and became an electrician, which he took great pride in. In his personal life he enjoyed spending time with his family, camping, building radio controlled airplanes, watching Nascar and supporting his son’s and grandchildren in their endeavours. He was extremely proud of his grandchildren and would often be seen at their hockey games, baseball games or supporting them at anything they pursued. He also had a soft spot for in his heart for his pet dogs. Marvin is survived by his two sons, Brad (Alison) Heinzlmeir and their children Riley and Taylor; and Blair (Diana) Heinzlmeir and their children Alexander and Mackenzie, all of Red Deer; two sisters, Phyllis Roberts of Lethbridge, AB and Sharon (Myles) Pyne of Black Creek BC; two brothers, Doug (Eveline) Heinzlmeir and Jim (Barb) Heinzlmeir, of Red Deer, AB, and many nieces and nephews. Marvin was predeceased by his parents, John and Lucille; his sisters, Doreen Wallace and Patricia Forsyth; brother in law, Clark Roberts; as well as the mother of his children, Arlene Heinzlmeir. At Marvin’s request a private grave side service will be held at Alto Reste Cemetery. Friends are invited to join a memorial tea to remember Marvin, Tuesday August 21, 2012 at 2:30 P.M. at the Eastview Estates Community Hall, 120 Ellenwood Drive, Red Deer. The family would like to greatly thank the staff of units 33, 21 and the ICU at the RDRHC for their care and compassion during Marvin’s stay. If desired, Memorial donations in Marvin’s name may be made to the charity of your choice.

SERVING CENTRAL ALBERTA RURAL REGION

DEADLINE THURS.5 P.M.

by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BRUSSELS, Belgium — About 2,000 demonstrators in Belgium on Sunday protested the possible early release from prison of the ex-wife of a pedophile, who was an accomplice in his abuse and murder of young girls. The protesters in Brussels braved some of the year’s hottest weather of 35 C (95 F) to show their displeasure with the possibility that Michelle Martin, former wife of child rapist Marc Dutroux, could move to a convent after her conditional release. The Dutroux case is one of the most sensational in Belgium’s recent history. Dutroux, now 55, is serving a life term for kidnapping, torturing and abusing six girls in 1995 and 1996, and murdering four of them. Martin, who was sentenced to 30 years in prison for helping her husband, has served 16 years of her term, but could be released within weeks. “Thirty years is 30 years,” some of the protesters were shouting. “What crime do you have to commit to serve a full term,” said Paul Marchal, whose daughter was a victim of Dutroux. He demanded that victims and their survivors have a bigger role in the decision on conditional early release. “It is very important that the victims can have a say in the cases,” Marchal said. Martin, 52, allowed two 8-year-old girls imprisoned in a decrepit basement to die of starvation while Dutroux spent four months in jail for theft. The protesters said Martin should not be free to come and go from the convent in Malonne, 45 miles (75 kilometres) southeast of Brussels. “We are marching for our grandson who is 2 and half years old and we want him to live in a country where there is justice,” said Murielle Bontemps, a grandmother from Liege, 100 kilometres (60 miles) east of Brussels. “That he will not fear going out to play out with his friends, and that we won’t fear that he’ll get kidnapped, because what we are doing now is we set predators free.”

TRIPOLI, Libya — Two car bombs exploded in the Libyan capital, Tripoli, killing two people and injuring several others early Sunday, a security official said. Two others were dismantled safely. The first bomb went off in a main street near a military college used as a base for former rebel forces, killing two and wounding four, according to the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to reporters. Half an hour later, a taxi parked in a narrow alley near the Interior Ministry exploded, wounding several people. The official said a third car bomb was discovered, also near the ministry. It was safely defused. Late Sunday, officials found a fourth car bomb near the military college and dismantled it. Police said they arrested three suspects in connection with the bombings. The bombings came on the eve of the anniversary of the fall of Tripoli. On August 20, 2011, rebel fighters liberated the city during the eight-month civil war that toppled dictator Moammar Gadhafi’s regime. Gadhafi was captured and killed last October, but many Libyans are convinced that some of his associates remain at large around the country. After Sunday’s blasts, officials blamed Gadhafi loyalists, saying they were plotting attacks and seeking to spread fear among the public and prevent the country from returning to normal. “I hold former regime aides fully responsible for this cowardly action,” said the deputy interior minister, Omar al-Khadrawi, visiting one of the bomb sites. He said “the same kind of bombs and the same tactics and equipment” were used in foiled attacks.

Arab teen injured in attack by Jewish teens JERUSALEM — Israeli police have arrested four Israeli teenagers suspected of seriously injuring an Arab youth in downtown Jerusalem, in what local media are calling a hate attack. Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said Sunday that a brawl broke out over the weekend between a group of Jewish youths and Arab youths in a central Jerusalem square. One Arab youth was rushed to the hospital unconscious, he said, and four Jewish teens were arrested. Rosenfeld said police have formed a special investigation team to check whether the attack was politically motivated.

Jews delay plans to immigrate to Irael fearing Iran attack JERUSALEM — A top Israeli immigration official says tensions with Iran are causing some Jews to postpone plans to move to Israel. Natan Sharansky, chairman of the Jewish Agency, a semi-governmental organization that helps oversee immigration to Israel, told Israel Radio Sunday that dozens of Jews who had already finalized their immigration plans are delaying their arrival by a few months, citing fears over an attack. He accused the government of acting irresponsibly with heightened rhetoric about Iran. He says the chatter has “crossed all red lines” and hurt the government’s deterrent capabilities. Israeli officials accuse Iran of trying to develop nuclear weapons, hinting about the possibility of a military strike. Despite regional tensions, about 350 Jews from North America immigrated to Israel last week.

2,000 march against possible release of child killer accomplice

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — Voters in Puerto Rico have narrowly rejected constitutional amendments that would have reduced the size of the U.S. territory’s legislature and given judges the right to deny bail. Preliminary results say 52 per cent of the 333,733 voters rejected the legislative measure and 48 per centfavoured it. Fifty-three per cent opposed the bail measure and 47 per cent supported it. The results mean Puerto Rico will remain the only place in the Western Hemisphere where everyone is entitled to bail regardless of the alleged crime. Senate President Thomas Rivera Schatz says that he accepts the defeat and that he respects the will of the people. Schatz and Gov. Luis Fortuno were among supporters of the referendum.

215-year-old ship sets sail to commemorate War of 1812 battle BOSTON — The 215-year-old USS Constitution has sailed for the first time since 1997, taking a 17-minute cruise across Boston Harbor. The short trip Sunday was to commemorate the Navy ship’s victory over a British warship of a similar size in a fierce battle during the War of 1812. Following the battle, the Constitution was nicknamed “Old Ironsides.” Chief Petty Officer Frank Neely says 285 lucky people were aboard Sunday as the Constitution reached a maximum speed of 3.1 knots. The trip marks the first time the Constitution has set sail under its own power since turning 200 years old. The Navy ship is periodically tugged into the harbour for historical display.

Syrian rockets fall on Jordan border town AMMAN, Jordan — Jordan’s information minister says four Syrian rockets have fallen on a northern Jordanian border town, slightly wounding a 4-year-old girl. Sameeh Maaytah says the Jordanian girl was treated for shrapnel wounds and then released from the hospital. Then minister says the four rockets landed Sunday on the outskirts of the Jordanian city of Turra, a village near Mafraq on the Syrian border. Another government official said the rockets were apparently fired at Syrian villages near the restive southern border city of Daraa but missed their target.

Three soldiers killed in Afghanistan WELLINGTON, New Zealand — Three New Zealand soldiers have been killed by a roadside bomb in central Afghanistan. The three soldiers were travelling in a vehicle Sunday in Bamiyan province, a once comparatively stable part of the country that has seen a recent increase in violence. Two New Zealand soldiers were killed in the same area during a firefight with insurgents earlier this month. New Zealand has stationed a small group of 145 soldiers in Afghanistan since 2003, a contingent it plans to withdraw by the end of next year.

Striking miners told to return LONMIN COMMANDS STRIKERS AT SOUTH AFRICAN MINE TO RETURN TO WORK TODAY OR RISK BEING FIRED BY ANDREW DRAKE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MARIKANA, South Africa — Miners must return to work Monday or face being fired from the platinum mine where rivalry between unions exploded into violence that led to the deaths of 44 people in a week, Lonmin PLC said Sunday. Thirty-four strikers were gunned down by police in one of the worst displays of state violence since apartheid ended in 1994. President Jacob Zuma declared a week of national mourning starting Monday to commemorate the lives of all South Africans who have died violently, especially the 44 at Marikana mine. “The nation is in shock and pain,” Zuma said in a statement. “We must this week reflect on the sanctity of human life ... We must avoid finger-pointing and recrimination. We must unite against violence from whatever quarter.” Some 3,000 rock-drill operators called RDOs have been leading an illegal strike among the mine’s 25,000-strong labour force plus 10,000 contractors. Intimidation and threats of violence kept many more away. “The safety and security of our employees is paramount and nobody will be asked to report for duty if the police consider them in danger of reprisals,” CFO Simon Scott said in a statement. Lonmin had initially ordered miners to return to work by Friday, then, after the shootings, changed the deadline to Monday, spokeswoman Sue Vey said. “The final ultimatum provides RDOs with a last opportunity to return to work or face possible dismissal,” the company said in a statement Sunday. “Employees could therefore be dismissed if they fail to heed the final ultimatum.” Strikers said they were not sure what to do. The company has not responded to their demands for the minimum wage to be increased from R5,500 ($688) to R12,500 ($1,560). Last year after a similar dispute over labour representation stopped work at its nearby Karee mine, Lonmin fired all 9,000 workers. Then it asked them to reapply for their jobs and most were rehired. “Because we work as a majority, if the majority goes back to work tomorrow I’m going too,” said miner Vuyisile Mchiza. But “If the majority is not going back to work tomorrow, I’m not going either because I won’t be able to go to work while others are sitting grieving.” Another vowed not to go to work Monday, telling the South African Press Association that, “Expecting us to go back to work is like an insult — many of our friends and colleagues are dead.” He was not identified by name for fear of recriminations. Jeff Mathunjwa, head of the union to which the strikers belong, said he was not talking to journalists

Mine workers listen to former youth leader of the African National Congress (ANC) Julius Malema, not seen, at the Lonmin mine near Rustenburg, South Africa, Saturday. Miners and their families welcomed expelled politician Malema as he told the thousands who gathered at the site where 34 miners were killed this week that South African police had no right to fire the live bullets that killed them. The miners are also being told by mine owners Lonmin PLC to go back to work by today or risk being fired. until Tuesday, when asked how he was advising his members. More than 100 people, miners, their families and local community members, processed past the mine Sunday singing hymns as they made their way to the dusty veld where police officers fired a barrage of shots from automatic rifles and pistols at a group of charging miners on Thursday. A memorial was led by Pastor Sakhumzi Qiqimana of Marikana New Creation Ministry, who told those gathered: “Now we have no power to come in the middle of the negotiations of the company and the workers, but we are here now to pray and say ’God forgive us,’ and now we are here to say ’This (killing) must stop.”’ Police say one of the charging miners shot at them first with a pistol and that they acted in self-defence.

Earlier in the week, the strikers had butchered two captured police officers with machetes. Lonmin said Saturday that it will pay for the educations of all children of mine employees killed in the unrest, up to university level. A presidential statement Sunday said Zuma would announce the composition of a judicial commission of inquiry into the killings and its terms of reference within a few days. It said he had appointed 10 Cabinet ministers and a provincial premier to visit Marikana on Monday to lead support for bereaved families including the identification of bodies, burials and counselling. Many people have said they do not know whether missing husbands and sons are among the dead, among 78 wounded, or among more than 250 arrested on charges ranging from public violence to murder.

South American nations condemn Britian on threats to Ecuador WIKILEAKS ASYLUM

QUITO, Ecuador — Foreign ministers of South America’s 12-nation union on Sunday condemned Britain’s threat last week to forcibly enter the Ecuadorean embassy in London and arrest WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. A brief statement by the ministers did not, however, endorse Ecuador’s decision to grant asylum to Assange, who is wanted by Sweden for questioning about allegations of sexual misconduct. The ministers of the UNASUR group issued the statement after they met in Guayaquil, Ecuador, at the host nation’s request. The group’s general secretary, Ali Rodriguez of Venezuela, said the meeting lasted 20 minutes. The ministers “condemned the threat of the use of force between states” and reiterated “the right of states to concede asylum,” the statement said. They also urged the parties to follow the “path of dialogue and direct negotiations” to reach a mutually acceptable solution to the impasse. Assange has been holed up in Ecuador’s embassy for two months and Britain is refusing him safe passage out of the country. The British threat came in a diplomatic letter delivered to Ecuador on Wednesday, a day before it granted Assange asylum. Britain later said it had no intention of storming the embassy, which would breach the 1961 Vienna Convention that declares foreign embassies inviolate. UNASUR’s gathering came a day after the regional ALBA group of leftist governments also held a meeting in Guayaquil, at which Cuba,

Venezuela, Bolivia, Nicaragua and Argentina all endorsed Ecuador’s asylum decision about Assange. Brazil, Colombia, Mexico and Chile are among Latin American nations that have not taken a stand. Ecuador says it granted asylum because nei-

2010 would be denied due process in the United States and could face life in prison or even the death penalty. “If we compare the arguments of the two countries, right is on our side,” Foreign Minister Ricardo Patino of Ecuador said of his nation and Britain. He said Ecuador had not yet decided whether to appeal to the United Nations over the dispute.

He said it would await the outcome of a meeting set for Friday in Washington of foreign ministers of the Organization of American States, which includes the United States and Canada. Retired U.S. diplomat Myles Frechette, an expert on the region, said he doesn’t expect any kind of consensus in support of Ecuador’s decision to give Assange asylum.

“While some of the governments in the region will cheer Correa’s little guy exposure of U.S. arrogance in commenting on some of the actions of other governments (in diplomatic cables published online by WikiLeaks), some like Chile, Colombia, Brazil and Peru want to be taken seriously as internationally credible interlocutors,” Frechette said.

ther Britain nor Sweden would offer guarantees they would not allow Assange’s extradition to the United States. Supporters of Assange say they fear he has been secretly indicted by a grand jury in the U.S. Ecuadorean President Rafael Correa says there is sufficient reason to fear the Australian ex-hacker who published the largest trove of U.S. secrets ever in
