SYLVAN LAKE

Tragic care gap HUSBAND WOULD HAVE SURVIVED HEART ATTACK IF TOWN HAD AN URGENT CARE CENTRE: WIDOW BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF

Annie Boychuk, left, and her mother-in-law Karen believe their husband and son Brent, who died of a heart attack 10 days ago, would be alive today if Sylvan Lake had an urgent care centre.

A Sylvan Lake widow says her late husband may have survived his heart attack 10 days ago if their community had an urgent care centre — or even better, a hospital. At about 4 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 18, Brent Boychuk, ANNIE BOYCHUK’S 49, was at home when he felt LETTER A2 heat in his chest and asked their daughter to take him to a local doctors’ clinic. They arrived to find it closed. Then he asked her to drive him to his doctor’s office, which also turned out to be closed. “They both got out of the truck, found the doors were locked, and that’s where Brent collapsed and that’s where my daughter called 911 and proceeded to do CPR on her dad until paramedics got there,” said his wife Annie Boychuk on Tuesday. When she arrived on the scene, the paramedics were already there. Her husband did not regain consciousness. “I did everything I could. I spoke to him. I begged him to come back.” Boychuk said her husband would have had a great chance of survival if there was an urgent care centre. “If it had been available, he would have walked into that clinic and told them he had chest pains, and they would have done whatever they could. “I know he was alive for about 10 minutes looking for help.” Her husband was on heart medication, but he didn’t think his condition was critical or that it required an ambulance, she said. Better than an urgent care centre would be a hospital in Sylvan Lake, she said. “We’re 10,000 people plus. I don’t want to see an emergency facility. I just want to see a hospital here. We need one. That’s what I’m going to try and fight for.”

Lake water Rancher demands answer Sylvan level at historic high for hole in elk fence BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF

warrant after allegedly trying to run down some Mounties, was in the area. RCMP officers from at least two Central Alberta detachments attempted to catch a suspect, who was in a stolen car. But the man fled and then abandoned the vehicle when it became stuck. The suspect — it’s unknown whether he was Legge — managed to escape. The elk rancher said she didn’t receive any notice in her mailbox from police to explain the damaged fencing. “I want somebody to take responsibility,” said Reitsma, who lives with her husband off Aspelund Road near Woody Nook Road. “It’s a little bit shocking,” she said, adding that whoever created the holes and broke 3.5-metre-tall fence posts left them over the weekend, knowing that 60 elk could escape.

Sylvan Lake’s water levels are at a historic high but the cause remains elusive, suggests a report. The assessment commissioned by the province notes there has been a trend to higher water levels since the 1960s. “It is not clear if any particular event occurred that is causing the lake levels to steadily increase over the past 50 years,” says the report, which went to Sylvan Lake town council on Monday. Rainfall measurements show a decreasing trend, so that is unlikely the cause. Lake levels peaked on Aug. 11, 2011, at 937.31 metres, the highest level reached since records began in 1918. Levels dropped slightly this year to 937.17 metres. The high water levels in 2011 are believed to have been caused by a cool, wet spring that reduced evaporation (evaporation is responsible for an estimated 90 to 95 per cent of water loss). Groundwater in the spring-fed lake is also a significant factor.

HIGH-SPEED CHASE LED TO PROPERTY DAMAGE BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF A shocked Gladys Reitsma returned from holidays to discover vehicle-sized holes punched into heavywire elk fencing on her property. At least one escaped bull elk needed rounding up on her ranch, which is about halfway between Red Deer and Sylvan Lake. And the rest of the bulls and cows were now mixing together, in rutting season. Reitsma and her husband learned from a neighbour Monday morning that a police chase involving about a dozen RCMP cruisers and the emergency response team late on Friday night led to their property damage. They also learned that another landowner, living about a kilometre west, had a “highway” cut through his wheat field that same night.

BRIDGE WORK Work on the southbound lanes of the Gaetz Avenue bridge has entered its final phase with work expected to be completed by October 15. During this phase of construction, motorists should expect traffic delays as single lane closures will be in effect on the bridge. Work is also going on below the bridge where repairs to one of the bridge piers will be done. Boaters on the river will also encounter a detour as crews are building a shallow road to the pier so that workers can access the site. Non-motorized watercraft will have the opportunity to portage around the construction while motorized watercraft will be direct to use another channel. Photo by JEFF STOKOE/ Advocate staff

Annie Boychuk’s Letter

CARE: Fundraising for health care She has opened a bank account and so far people have donated $3,100 to bring better health care services to Sylvan Lake. Boychuk also wants people to write government officials. “I want people to do what I did. I want them to write the health minister. I want them to write the mayor. I want them to write the MLA. And I want something to happen.” Sylvan Lake Mayor Susan Samson, who has known the Boychuk family for a long time, said the letter she received from Annie Boychuk brought her to tears. “It’s a horrific tragedy to one of our very own,” Samson said. “Mrs. Boychuk’s example might have had a different ending if we had an urgent care facility and Mr. Boychuk could have been brought in and stabilized and transported to Red Deer Regional (Hospital Centre).” Samson said Sylvan Lake and surrounding communities and counties are not asking for a hospital. “We’re asking for urgent care because that is the right model for the community and the area for today and into the future. “Red Deer Regional has been built and expanded and financed to be the regional hub of medical technology for Central Alberta and nothing should detract from that.” Other small communities in Central Alberta have hospitals, but they were built in different economic times, she said. “The sustainability of those hospitals, the affordability of them, the use of those of hospitals, are all coming into question now.” There are seven urgent care centres in Alberta and Sylvan Lake wants a centre that’s open seven days a week with extended hours with laboratory and X-ray services, and non-life-threatening medical care that is lacking in the community. Samson said it would alleviate pres-

On Aug. 18 at approximately 4 p.m., my husband Brent Boychuk was experiencing early stages of a heart attack. He asked my daughter Brianne to take him to the walk in clinic at the Pierview area of Sylvan Lake. They arrived at the family medical centre where Brent himself, with Brianne, walked up to the doors to seek medical help and the doors were locked. Brent walked back to the truck and asked Brianne to take him to another doctor’s office, where he and Brianne again walked up to the door to find it locked also. There Brent fell unconscious. I desperately tried to call Brianne several times on the phone to find out if my husband was OK and what had happened. Little did I know that at this time she was administering CPR trying to save her daddy’s life. I called the hospital to get the doctor’s number who was on call here in Sylvan, but the nurse at hospital took my number and said the doctor would call me back. That was on Aug. 18 and today as I write this it is Aug. 27 and still I have not heard from the doctor on call that day. I finally got hold of Brianne to find out that my beloved Brent had suffered a heart attack and that the paramedics were trying to revive him. I drove like a mad woman to talk to my baby to help bring him back. All the words and crying and pleading, the begging and kisses and love I gave him couldn’t save him. What he needed was immediate medical attention. My husband, Brent Boychuk, was pronounced dead that afternoon after finally sure on the emergency department in Red Deer and get people timely medical treatment closer to home. “We don’t want to see seniors or young mothers with sick children travelling highways in the dark or in the winter for something that would cause them to sit in emergency for extended hours for something that could be treated here.” Sylvan Lake’s many tourists would also benefit, she said. The hope is to renovate and rent a facility to house the urgent care centre as a short-term solution until a facility can be built.

arriving at the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre. Sylvan Lake has a population of well over 13,000 permanent residents and no emergency care facility, trauma centre or hospital! Instead, what we had on that day of desperation was locked clinics, doctors on holidays and a doctor on call who didn’t call at all. I have no doubt in my mind that my husband Brent Boychuk would have had a great chance of survival and still be with us today if an emergency clinic was open. He was coherent and walking until he collapsed at the last clinic. He left behind a wife, four children, and his mother who love him dearly and will forever, as well as many family and friends who will miss him. All this could have been avoided if there was somewhere in Sylvan Lake for my husband to get help. Even just an ambulance (which I might add Sylvan Lake does not have according the information given to me by the town). Our ambulance is a shared ambulance! We can pay $4 million-plus for fancy bathrooms at the beach but can’t find the funds for emergency care. Help me with those funds, please, I am pleading with you. I am begging everyone to help me get this emergency care facility up and running as quickly as we can. Please, I beg you email me and I will share my idea with you. I will make it happen through hell or high water, I just need everyone’s support. Let’s not let this happen to anyone else; how many deaths does it take in this town before action is taken? Annie Boychuk Sylvan Lake Sylvan Lake is already looking at fundraising for a bariatric stretcher, costing over $10,000. “The provincial government is very well aware of the need for an urgent care in Sylvan Lake so we’ve been working closely with Alberta Health Services out of the Red Deer region to get into their zone integrated plan. It should be in the zone integrated plan by September.” Samson said she has been in contact with AHS to see if the project is on track but has not heard back yet. “We’re hoping when the province finishes its health conversations tour

FENCE: Animals stuck together Luckily, most of the herd animals stayed together, said Reitsma — although the yearlings, cows, calves and bulls are now mixing together, which could lead to some unplanned pregnancies. The Reitsmas made a couple of calls to police detachments but felt they got nowhere on Monday. “They said they didn’t know anything about it, that they’d look into it,” said Reitsma. But no one from the RCMP had come to examine the damage as of Tuesday morning. Meanwhile, the couple’s insurance company is refusing to pay out until they get to the bottom of how the fencing holes were caused. When reached by the Advocate on Tuesday, Sgt. James Derouin of the Blackfalds RCMP detachment invited the Reitsmas to contact him. “They never called me,” said Derouin, who was told that officers involved in the chase had talked to a number of landowners in the area. Since Reitsmas were away until late on Sunday night, they could have been missed, he suggested. Derouin said police from the Blackfalds and Sylvan Lake detachments were acting on a tip that a man resembling Legge was hiding in the area. The emergency response team and a police dog were used to track the suspect. But he eventually evaded police. Derouin was told the police vehicle chase lasted only a few minutes before it turned into a foot chase, when the suspect abandoned his vehicle. “We still don’t know if it was Legge,” said the sergeant. He intends to look into the damage on the Reitsmas’ property, saying “nobody was intending to ignore her.” lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

Lacombe parents concerned about kids’ safety STUDENTS HAVE TO CROSS TWO HIGHWAYS, RAILWAY CROSSING TO REACH SCHOOL, OR TAKE BUS, AT A COST

A group of Lacombe parents are worried about their children’s safety when they cross two busy highways and a railway crossing to reach school on Tuesday. Parents in the southeastern subdivision of Iron Wolf say they have no choice but to pay $486 to put their children on the school bus because they have to cross Hwy 2a and Hwy 12 attend James S. McCormick School. On Tuesday evening, about 50 parents voiced their concerns with the dangerous route and the cost of the busing at a town hall meeting at the Lacombe Memorial Centre. In Alberta, the government funds school boards for students who live 2.4 km or further from their designated school. School boards charge students who live closer to the school to catch a

LAKE: ‘Sill’ has gotten higher The “sill” of the lake has gotten higher over time — likely through silting — but has remained relatively stable since the late 1970s, says the report. An outlet creek is functioning as intended and is not blocked. Mayor Susan Samson said the research does not provide quick-fix solutions to high lake levels that have left the town’s beach almost entirely under water. “It’s a very complex problem with no easy solutions and I think that’s what that document proved to me,” said Samson. A number of options for tackling lake levels are outlined — and some dismissed — in the report. Trying to limit the amount of water coming into the lake would be expensive and cause environmental problems when lake levels return to normal naturally. Pumping out the lake is not considered economically viable given estimated costs of $5 million to $20 million for pumps. Three options for changing outlet channels to increase flow are outlined. However, there are risks with meddling with the channel. “Any alteration of the outlet, with an intended purpose of affecting Sylvan Lake levels, is of concern from an environmental perspective because of the potential to affect water quality, fisheries, aquatic vegetation, shoreline vegetation, waterfowl, and other wildlife busing the lake or shoreline.” The most ambitious, and costly, of the options is to create a control structure. A dam-like structure with stop-logs that could be removed when water levels are high could cost $1.7 million. A roughly $100,000 option would in-

homes in the subdivision to the school measured again. Wolf Creek Public School Division Supt. Larry Jacobs, Chuck Richter, transportation manager, and trustee Bob Huff, Rod Fox, Wildrose MLA for Lacombe-Ponoka, and city officials were on hand to answer questions from the parents. Jacobs said he was encouraged by the meeting because school divisions across Alberta have long lobbied the province to reduce the limit to address concerns around young children, long walks and weather conditions. He is hopeful the parents and the division lobby the province together. “Right now it’s so arbitrary at 2.4 kms,” said Jacobs. “And it doesn’t make sense to parents. I can understand why they are upset. We’re 50 feet apart. Five hundred dollars for me and zero for them.” crhyno@reddeeradvocate.com

volve upgrading an outlet channel and lowering the sill level of the lake to allow water to start flowing out at lower elevations. However, lake levels would continue to fluctuate. The cheapest alternative would be a maintenance program for the outlet channel at a cost of $50,000, although it “will not likely have a significant impact on lake levels as the overall channel capacity does not change.” Other options include creating buffers and erosion measures to protect against high water levels, without impacting them. The report sums up by saying lake levels are “naturally high and part of the normal fluctuations between low and high water levels.” However, trying to manage lake levels is not worth the trouble, the report suggests. “Lake focus options such as shoreline protection and, in particular, natural buffers are the favoured options even though they do not control lake levels.” Samson said the province does not intend to play a role in managing lake levels and provided the report to give the Sylvan Lake Management Committee the necessary background should it wish to do something. Whether that happens will be up for discussion at the committee’s next meeting on Sept. 5. Any changes to the lake outlet or to lower the sill of the lake would require provincial and federal approvals. Whatever work is done, though, does not come with a guarantee that the lake will be significantly altered. “The science isn’t really clear on how much we can really affect that creek,” Samson said. The management committee is comprised of the Town of Sylvan Lake, Red Deer and Lacombe Counties and five summer villages. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

The distance is measured from a person’s front door to the property line of the school. “The 2.4 kms is just too far for these kids to be walking especially in the winter,” said Tanya Kenyon, an organizer and single mother of two. “They have to cross two major highways and a railway crossing. It’s just too dangerous. It almost makes it impossible for a five, six and seven-yearold to walk.” Kenyon said she works full time and she has no choice but to pay for busing for her son, who attends the kindergarten to Grade 3 school. Her daughter attends the Lacombe Junior High School and qualifies for busing.

Give bike lanes a chance Red Deer’s bike lane pilot project is neither perfect nor perfectly foolish. Somewhere in between is a happy medium that can serve the various transportation needs of a growing, progressive city that wants to limit its carbon footprint, and move people safely through a variety of means, but is practical enough to know that cars and pickup trucks aren’t going to disappear off our streets. First, a confession: I ride my bike to work every day that weather and circumstances allow, which is roughly four out of five days in spring, summer and fall. I never ride in the winter, although I will walk the same route I ride if a winter day is mild enough. For the most part, my route allows me to use paths. The roads I do travel are not high-traffic areas. Second, a simple lesson in economics: although I ride a bike regularly, my wife and I also own a home in Red Deer (for which we pay property taxes), have two cars in the garage (for which we paid GST when we purchased them, for which we pay annual registration fees and insurance, and for which we pay for gas and services at city businesses, which in turn pay taxes). We pay our income tax, provincial and

OURVIEW JOHN STEWART federal. In short, we pay for the right to use whatever transportation we choose: walking, bicycle, city transit or personal vehicle. The argument that those of you who choose to drive exclusively have a greater economic claim to the various roads and walkways in this city is so much nonsense. (It’s insupportable economic bullying, in fact. The notion that those who contribute more to the economic wellbeing of our community have greater rights than those less fortunate, or those who are more careful about how they spend their money, is simplistic and elitist.) But that doesn’t mean I think we need bike lanes everywhere. In fact, some of the bike lanes established in the city’s pilot project would seem downright dangerous. Certainly they are counterproductive. Cars and trucks need space to move, and bike riders need to be safe, on the street or on paths. The lanes on 55th Street are the

most obvious example of a dangerous situation. At certain times of the day, 55th Street is an extremely busy road, with students, parents and teachers going in and out of the confluence of schools at 42A Avenue. Columnist Vesna Higham and letter writers have eloquently pointed out how dangerous and constraining the bike lanes make this major road. It would be far better to leave 55th Street to cars and buses and divert bike traffic to 53rd Street and through Woodlea. The same ultimate goals would result (giving bike riders a dedicated route east-west into downtown and beyond in both directions), with less disruption and far less danger. Certainly the pilot bike lane project is a major step forward, if only to allow both sides of this debate to voice their concerns and look for compromises. Not every route now being painted is going to be successful. And certainly some city officials are aware that longer term, the most practical solution is to build dedicated bike routes that eliminate the potential for bike-vehicle conflict (but that costs a great deal more money).

In the shorter term, prudent planning will help, and the city is making a point now of building paths that have clear destinations and logical links. The route I ride to work is such an example of good planning: a bike/walking path that runs true all the way from Vanier Woods and Lancaster, through Bower toward Gaetz Avenue, only crossing two major roads (and both crossings supported by traffic signals). In the meantime, we should approach the bike lane project in the spirit it was intended: as a fact-gathering pilot. You can take part in an online survey about the new bike lanes and routes at www.reddeer.ca/bikelanes. The survey takes less than five minutes to fill out. And next year, when council reviews the project and looks to the future, you can step forward and have your say. If you don’t like what’s decided after that, there’s always the ballot box in the fall of 2013. Maybe we can drum up more than the customary 22-or-so per cent participation for a municipal election, driven by a debate about bike lanes, of all things. John Stewart is the Advocate’s managing editor.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Bike, car safety knowledge would help I have been reading and listening to all of the complaints about the new bike lanes in the city. This would include a local radio station rallying the people to complain. The biggest complaint is safety followed by how inconvenienced drivers will be. I have not heard anything positive yet on this subject. I have ridden most of the new lanes by now and think the city did a great job of making Red Deer easily accessible on a bike where you can’t get to on the trails. As for safety, I am wondering how many drivers know what a solid white line means? I’m sure we all do, if you’re driving and don’t then you would be the hazard not the bike. I have seen bikes all over Red Deer streets (yes, I still do) before there were lanes, now they have a small amount of safe and legal (riding on the sidewalk is neither safe nor legal) riding space. It would be nice if there was a class people could attend to learn bike-to-street safety and rules to follow. Inconvenienced drivers will not be happy with anything as long as it interferes with their daily lives. What about the part of our population that requires a bike as a form of transportation? The cost of a reasonably priced bike would cover the cost of bus passes in less than six months and I’m sure there are a few people in the city who would like those savings. Even if it is seasonal (probably more winter riding will happen in the future), perhaps more people should ride when possible — it would help reduce Red Deer’s carbon footprint, since most cars have only one person in them. The drivers need to plan their day so they’re not so rushed that they have no time or patience for anyone else. I would like to say great job to the city for taking another step to making Red Deer a great place for everyone to live. To all of you who don’t like these lanes, maybe it’s time to open your minds to a new future for everyone. Miles Verreau Red Deer

Gridlocked in Red Deer I took some interest in the city council discussion about the new bike lanes, but clearly not enough to comprehend the length, breadth and enormous cost behind yet another expensive pet project. The reality of the project has become very evident as Red Deer motorists begin to notice the sudden disappearance of driving lanes on city streets. The lanes have been allocated for pedal-power-only transportation and the lines have literally been drawn on the streets of Red Deer, along with puzzling little geometric shapes, bike symbols to mark the bike lanes, along with bike lanes that abruptly end on a random block of a designated bike street. The pilot project is estimated to reach $800,000 during its initial phase, with JIM about $500,000 estimated to be SUTHERLAND spent on bike lanes by the end of this month. The success of the pilot project will determine whether even more money is spent to modify major traffic routes into hybrid bike/car streets. The conversion of the streets was spearheaded by some local bike commuter interest groups who felt that Red Deer should become a bike-friendly city and almost a million bucks should be spent in pursuit of this noble cause. The steering committee was composed of avid cycling advocates who believe that Red Deer citi-

zens should embrace a new two-wheeled commuter philosophy. It is an idea that makes perfect sense in temperate climate cities that have concentrated city centre populations, which are the hub of the economic activity in those communities. Red Deer is a little different. We have massive employment in our large industrial subdivisions because we have so many people employed by the oil and gas industry. The areas are scattered about the perimeter of the city, as well as the county industrial subdivisions bordering on the City of Red Deer. They are not easily served by bike paths and will never find massive appeal with the people who work in these areas. However, every Red Deer motorist will be affected by the new bike lanes, even though they will serve little real purpose and cost a horrific amount of money for a feel-good project. I am sure that I will alienate every avid cyclist in Red Deer but, as a guy who cycled tens of thousands of kilometres on two wheels over several decades, I have a working idea about bikes. Most of my riding was done outside of Red Deer on the open road to Sylvan or Gull Lake, when I was smart enough to cycle on a regular basis. I had little inclination to share the major streets of Red Deer because of their excessive number of cars and traffic lights, so my limited city riding was done on side streets or bike paths. I never rode in winter because the icy streets were too dangerous and poorly cleared from snow accumulations. None of this mattered to the overzealous champions of bike lanes because now they have their own

NEW BIKE LANES ARE NOTHING BUT AN EXPENSIVE FOLLY AND WILL ONLY WORSEN TRAFFIC WOES lanes on some major traffic routes in Red Deer. A handful of people who want to be dedicated bike commuters have managed to screw up the traffic flow in a city where traffic flow is a critical problem every day. Imagine how happy Red Deer motorists will be on a dark frigid winter morning when they are prevented from using the extra lane on streets like 55th Street, 39th Street, 59th Avenue and 40th Avenue, to name but a chosen few. There may even be a few stubborn and hardy cyclists in the bike lanes on some of those frosty mornings who will tempt fate and ride against sound survival judgment in winter. But will there be enough to warrant seriously screwing up the traffic flow on Red Deer’s crowded main streets? This is a rhetorical question in case anyone missed it. One of the biggest grievances I have with green advocates is their lack of accountability in terms of financial investment and consequences. They like the idea of publicly-funded projects where Uncle Government pays the freight on their experiments and they invest nothing except an attitude that they are morally right and saving the world. This bike lane experiment is nothing short of an expensive disaster and I suggest that those of you who are affected by its sheer lunacy let the appropriate City Hall people know how you feel about the project after you get gridlocked in a highly unnecessary traffic jam. Use your spare time in halted traffic to count the number of cyclists in their expensive new lanes, it won’t take long. Jim Sutherland is a local freelance writer.

Ottawa wants to cut cell service to smuggled jail phones mobile devices by inmates in support of its public safety mandate. To that end, CSC seeks a solution to impede the use of contraband mobile devices within the confines of correctional institutions across Canada.â&#x20AC;? The notice gives no indication about the extent of the problem in Canadian prisons. The Correctional Service could not immediately provide any statistics about the number of mobile devices that have been confiscated in jails. However, a written government response to a recent report by the House of Commons public safety committee sheds some light on the issue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Despite current efforts, cellphones continue to serve as a conduit for inmates to engage in criminal activities, both inside and outside penitentiary walls,â&#x20AC;? says the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s letter to the committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chair, Conservative MP Kevin Sorenson, dated Aug. 8. The letter lists some ways jails try to keep out mobile devices, such as searches of inmates and visi-

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Criminals who run their operations from behind bars using mobile devices could soon be left searching for cell service. The federal government is asking companies how to stop prisoners from making calls on smuggled cellular and smart phones, tablets and other wireless devices. Such devices are banned in jails â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but evidently, that hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stopped prisoners from getting hold of them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Though this prohibition is rigidly enforced, upon occasion, mobile devices are recovered by correctional officers from inmates within an institution,â&#x20AC;? says a notice posted Tuesday on a government contracts website. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is, therefore, of significant importance for (the Correctional Service of Canada) to develop an effective and sustainable method of preventing the use of

tors, X-ray baggage scanners and metal detectors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While detection and prevention tools are useful, each has limitations and despite continued efforts to detect and seize these devices, rendering these devices ineffective may prove to be the most effective means of disrupting these criminal activities,â&#x20AC;? it says. One avenue being explored is signal-jamming technology, which is banned in Canada because it can block emergency calls. Both the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s letter and the notice posted Tuesday indicate an openness to signal-jamming tools, provided they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t interfere with 911 calls. Companies have also been asked if technology exists that would allow corrections officers to power off prisonersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; phones or to make them ring so guards can find them more easily. Smuggled cellphones are a hot commodity in American prisons. The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation says authorities confiscated 2,800 mobile devices in California jails alone in 2008.

Cougar that attacked woman destroyed TRAIL, B.C. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A starving cougar that walked into the home of a woman and attacked her while she sat in her living room is now dead. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The woman was in her house with a number of puppies when the cougar walked in through an open door and attacked her on the sofa,â&#x20AC;? Trail RCMP Sgt. Rob Hawton said of the weekend incident. With the help of her dog, the woman fought the cougar off and chased it out of the house. She received a couple of minor injuries to her upper leg from the cougarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s claws. The cougar was gone by the time police arrived. But the animal was tracked down and destroyed Monday. Hawton said the cougar was gone before officers arrived and a subsequent search was not successful. B.C. Conservation officers were called in and the cougar was tracked down and destroyed Monday.

Canadians struggle to recall War of 1812 OTTAWA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; There was a war in 1812? Really? The Harper government has been highlighting a war with our American neighbours 200 years ago, but the relevance of commemorating the event seemed lost on almost all of those who participated in a comprehensive survey for National Defence. The poll, conducted annually, measures impressions of the Canadian military, its missions, equipment and important events. Few people who took part in the survey were aware of the anniversary â&#x20AC;&#x153;and even fewer could identify the War of 1812 by name.â&#x20AC;?

MONTREAL â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Police were laying numerous criminal charges in a second day of confrontation with student protesters following the reopening of Quebecâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s universities. Striking students at the Universite de Montreal have been attempting to force the cancellation of certain classes to protest back-to-school legislation passed this spring. As they did on Monday, students clashed with the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s security guards and Montreal police as they reportedly sought to disrupt a film class. Police said they had charged 10 people so far, though the operation was still ongoing Tuesday afternoon. The student protesters ended up disrupting a psychology class, having mistaken it for the film class they were looking for. Protesters said they were only disrupting classes in departments where student associations had voted to continue striking over the Liberal governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tuition hike.

MusiCamp memories

Catching up with old friends and making new ones, singing, some dancing, and lots of fun with music fills students of MusiCamp’s days. MusiCamp offers a variety of one- or twoweek workshops at Red Deer College from July 22 to Aug. 11. Upwards of 300 students gather from all over Alberta. Participants stay in the college’s residence facilities with the college cafeteria providing full meal service. The camp offers a balanced instructional program that includes concert and choir practise, small group and one-on-one instruction, and lots of opportunities for fun and games. The instructors are world-class performers and teachers drawn from professional ensembles, orchestras and universities and have a goal of ensuring the students become lifelong lovers of music. The camp’s success is evident by both the students’ enthusiasm and by the fact this is the 55th year the camp has been running. Many of the students return to experience the camp again and again, and some of the instructors were previous students of MusiCamp themselves. Go to www.musicampalberta.com for more information.

“Lord we may know what we are, but know not what we may be.” — William Shakespeare’s Hamlet, Act 4, Scene 5 “I thought something would have happened by now.” I had been talking to a friend about potential. It was many years ago and I was feeling stuck at the time. Somewhere, in the back of my mind, I had clung to the notion that something great was destined to happen to me. And for years I plodded along waiting for the great “something” to occur. Perhaps the idea originated in my childhood. Mother had always told me I had a great potential — so many gifts. When I ventured out into the world a few people actually told me I was a talented. I assumed (and falsely so) MURRAY that time would eventually FUHRER reward me. For the longest time, every day of my life seemed to be a facsimile of the day before it. Every morning I would wake up and start the same routine over again. My life had become a habit. I was living on autopilot. My life was like a record with a skip (for those who might remember what skipping records are) — the same tune playing over and over again. I wasn’t living; I simply existed day after day. “I guess I’ve just been waiting for something — anything — to happen.” We all have unique gifts but here’s what it comes down to: are we willing to do something with them? A wise friend once told me, “If you decide to do nothing then nothing is what you’ll get.” I remember reading once that potential is like a sports car with no engine. It sits there glistening — teasing us with the fantasy of where it might go but it goes nowhere. Sure, we all have to make a living and it seems to me that doing so has become more time-consuming. The time it takes to make a living seemed tied to the ever-increasing complexity of life. As the demands on our time grow, we have less and less time to focus on developing our gifts. Even with the noblest of intentions, just getting through each day can be a challenge. We all have talents — things that no one can do quite like we can — things that would certainly set us apart from the crowd. Sadly, unless our gifts are being watered down and exploited for the corporate bottom line, chances are slim that we’re spending time cultivating them. Peace-of-mind arises from realizing our full potential and employing our unique abilities in the service to something greater than ourselves. Identifying and utilizing talents that may lie dormant within us is an important aspect of a journey of discovery and self-actualization. Part of my problem — up to the point of the abovementioned conversation — was that I didn’t have any goals, any aspirations. I had wishes and dreams and mindless imaginings. Realizing our true potential requires an action plan. Busyness is a poor replacement. American speaker, facilitator and best-selling author Nancy D. Solomon says we must answer two questions for ourselves, “What did I come here to do and am I getting it done?” In her book, Impact! What Every Woman Need to Know to Go from Invisible to Invincible, Solomon says, “All of us at one time in our personal or professional lives have measured our potential against some unrealized goal and have either retreated to a corner, quivering in fear, or jumped into action having used the opportunity to light us up like a Christmas tree.” Solomon says there are people who talk about doing something meaningful and those who do it. While one group is bound by fear, the other unshackle themselves and, though the fear may still exist, minimize limitations, maximize what they’re made of and go for it. And what of those people who don’t realize their potential? There are those who recognize their talents and gifts but do nothing about it and another group still that won’t even look in the mirror for fear of what they might see. Says Solomon, those who recognize their potential but do nothing about it will often languish in mediocrity, blame others for their failure to succeed, become depressed, read tons of self-help books, straighten their desks a lot and pretty much beat themselves up for not having the courage to show up in their own lives. Sound like anyone you know? That was me before waking up and deciding to do something. How do we transform potential into performance? Solomon says by making the decision to do so. “While it’s great that you’ve got the goods it’s better if you used them.” Potential is just another word in the dictionary unless it’s activated. Potential without action (and a goal) produces no results. It’s not success. It’s not personal power. It’s not getting what you want. Want to turn potential into performance? Solomon says there are 10 questions guaranteed to spur you into action. The order of importance and level of emphasis will be unique to you. 1. Where am I now? 2. Where do I want to go? 3. Why am I going there? 4. Where am I now in relation to that goal? 5. What steps do I need to take to get there? 6. Is anything standing in the way of my getting there? 7. How will I feel when I get there? 8. Do I trust myself? 9. What are my gifts and talents that can help me get there? 10. What is the one question I’m most afraid to ask? What drives you to move forward in life? What keeps you stuck? “Everyone has inside of him a piece of good news,” wrote Anne Frank in her famous diary. “The good news is that you don’t know how great you can be! How much you can love! What you can accomplish! And what your potential is!” Take some time to think about your potential and how you’re going to realize it. But don’t wait for something — anything — to happen. Make it happen. Drop an engine into that sports car and step on the gas. Some will do it. Some won’t. Which one are you?

25 YEARS AGO ● Central Albertans would soon be experiencing the high speed thrills of luge and bobsled racing as a new world-class track at Canyon Ski Area neared completion. The 850-metre combined track would be used by athletes in the Alberta Winter Games and as a recreational facility for the public, operated by the Central City ice-men luge and bobsled club. ● The new Hwy 11X that diverted some traffic past Sylvan Lake might cost the town tourist dollars, said several local businesses. The 31-km bypass route linked Hwy 2 with Hwy 11 near Benalto and let traffic skip the Town of Sylvan Lake. It was designed to remove heavy through traffic from clogging up the main street of the town. The 17 million highway, would save time for travellers. However, business owners feared tourists would end up driving past Sylvan lake. 50 YEARS AGO ● A large night school program would be under way in Red Deer if William R. Lee had his way. The new principal of Red Deer’s vocational school said the building should be used for a vast program in adult education. “It is an investment of more than two million dollars” he said in an interview. 90 YEARS AGO ● VISITORS DAY AT THE GOLF CLUB Wednesday was a busy day at the Golf Club.

Quite a number of people took advantage of the invitation and there was a big gathering.

Death, taxes and RRSPs Going back to school is a costly endeavour Registered Retirement Savings Plans (RRSPs) are a common investment for most people. When you put money into a RRSP you receive a deduction for income tax purposes. The theory is that the fund can grow without paying tax on the amount contributed or the income gained until you withdraw the funds. Usually the plan is to draw the money out over the course of retirement and be taxed a little each year. In the event of death there is a problem. Most people will agree that your own death is problematic. Normally people worry about it before not after death. The problem from an estate perspective is that on death you are deemed to cash in all of your RRSPs (or RRIFs if they have been converted) at time of death. For income tax purposes the deceased is deemed to have received all of the income in the year of death and the estate will owe income taxes. Depending on other income and the size of the RRSP it is likely that the deceased is pushed into the upper tax bracket which to my understanding is around 39% in Alberta. There is one option to avoid paying taxes on RRSPs on death. If your spouse (spouse can include a common law partner) is named as a beneficiary for your RRSP it can roll to your spouse and then your spouse is taxed on the amounts withdrawn each year that money is taken out. You can name your spouse as a beneficiary when you purchase the RRSP or you can make a RRSP beneficiary designation in your will. Putting a RRSP beneficiary designation in your will overrides previous beneficiary designations. This is convenient if you purchased the RRSP before being married or by some chance your spouse is not already named. In the event you do not have a spouse the tax will have to be paid. Your estate will have to pay the taxes. This result is not unreasonable or unfair unless your estate is not the beneficiary. In the event that you named a beneficiary for the RRSP that is different than the residual beneficiaries of your will the named beneficiary will receive the RRSP less a deduction that is required by Canada Rev-

LEGALLY SPEAKING

enue Agency. The deduction will be a percentage of the value of the RRSP and will be paid to Canada Revenue Agency as a credit to taxes paid by the deceased. Unless the percentage has changed the percentage of the deduction will be 20 per cent. Since the deceased is deemed to have received the entire RRSP as income and could very likely be in a 39% tax bracket the estate will still owe another 19 per cent tax on the amount of the RRSP but did not receive any of the RRSP. Effectively the residual beneficiaries pay about half of the tax for the named RRSP beneficiary. Depending on circumstances and the size of the RRSP and the size of the estate this outcome might have been desired by the deceased, but usually it is unintentional. Most people don’t know when they are going to die and therefore would not know what the value of the RRSP would be or the value of the rest of the estate would be at time of death. It is important to review your will and other beneficiary designations such as RRSPs and life insurance to make sure that as your assets change in value and type that you don’t accidentally cause an unintentional division of your estate.

It’s time for the parents to go back to school and find the great deals for their kids. The high cost of all the school items can make your head spin. For the average sixth grade student here is a partial list of what you may need. One pair of scissors, three ring binders 1 ½ inch not 2 inch, a geometry set that will last the year, ruler, pencils, pens both red and blue ballpoints, paper and a flash drive. And be sure to have all of these labelled with your child’s name. It makes you tired just thinking about having to track it all down. Along with this list there is the electronic gadgets no kid can live without. There is the cell phone, iPods and of course the home computer. Add to this the clothing needs. Kids grow it’s a fact that no way are last year’s schools outfits going to fit this September. Count on the fact that they are no longer in style and you know you have a trip to the mall in the near future. Parents will spend on average $688.00 for all the above for each child they have in grades from K to 12. The shopping spree that occurs for back to school is second in cost only to Christmas. First off when you are trying to control your spending for all the back to school supplies is to not make any purchase without getting your hands on the school supply list for your childs grade and school.

TORONTO — The pint-sized units inside the glass condo towers popping up all over urban centres aren’t the only things getting smaller. “Every major furniture retailer now has a line that is apartment or condo sized,” says Elaine Cecconi, co-owner of interior design consultant firm Cecconi Simone. “There’s so much product out there for small-space inhabitants that it’s become more of the mainstream, I would say, than a trend in the furniture industry.” Census figures for 2011 released in February show multi-unit dwellings — a category that includes condominiums — making up roughly half of all new housing stock, a category traditionally led by detached homes. The numbers also indicate that Canadians are flocking to urban centres. Toronto’s population jumped more than 17 per cent over the previous census period in 2006. This condo boom, fuelled by lifestyle changes and efforts to curb urban sprawl, is in turn revolutionizing the furniture retail business. As our cities become denser and space becomes more limited, there’s a growing demand for compact, space efficient and multi-use furniture, says Cecconi. Storage units with fold-out beds inside. Adjustable tables that drop down from dining room to coffee table height. These modern, European-style furnishings are booming in popularity as designers and retailers respond to diminishing physical space. “It’s a way to multitask within a limited square footage,” says Cecconi. “It’s really imperative that furniture be the right size for these units. You don’t want oversized furniture that’s intended for a more conventional home in a small space unit because it overtakes the room that it sits in.”

Veterans steal the spotlight REBELS RETURNEES HAVE GOOD DAY DURING TUESDAY SCRIMMAGES BY GREG MEACHEM ADVOCATE SPORTS EDITOR

JOSE BAUTISTA

BAUTISTA TO GET SURGERY NEW YORK — Toronto Blue Jays slugger Jose Bautista will have season-ending surgery to stabilize a tendon in his left wrist. Bautista said before Tuesday night’s game against the New York Yankees that the recovery period is three to four months and he would be ready to play long before the start of spring training next year. “There’s just too much instability in that tendon and it got to the point where risking injuring the tendon was not worth it,” Bautista said. Bautista was initially injured in an at-bat against the Yankees on July 16. He chose to give rest and rehab a try and he returned from the disabled list Friday. But he says, while he did not experience any pain, he felt the tendon moving around too much and was taken out of the game against the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday. The twotime defending AL home run champion was immediately put back on the DL and sent to Cleveland to see a hand specialist. Dr. Thomas Graham will perform the operation next week in Cleveland. “Luckily for me the tendon is completely intact,” Bautista said. “He just needs to make it stable again.”

Roddick serves his way into next round U.S. OPEN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — That Andy Roddick’s last match as a twentysomething would not be his last match at the 2012 U.S. Open was hardly in doubt Tuesday, especially whenever he was launching that intimidating, tough-to-handle serve of his. To close the first set: ace at 227 km/h. To close the second: ace at 216 km/h. To close the third: ace at 204 km/h. Yes, even as Roddick’s 30th birthday approaches on Thursday, even as his body has succumbed to injury after injury, that serve is pretty much still the same as it ever was. Now that he more frequently faces opponents who grew up cheering for him — such as 21-yearold qualifier Rhyne Williams of Knoxville, Tenn., the foil for Tuesday’s 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 victory — Roddick knows more than ever he needs to rely on the best thing he’s got, and 20 aces helped this time. “You really don’t see that shot,” Williams said glowingly about Roddick’s serve. Heading into his Grand Slam debut, the 283rd-ranked Williams had one primary concern: “I was just hoping he wasn’t going to go at me with a serve.” “I’m like, ’Oh, no. Where’s he going?’ That’s the first thing I thought of. Then it was, ’It’ll be

Red Deer Rebel Matthew Dumba brings in the puck during a practice at the Centrium, Tuesday. Dumba was one of several veterans who stood out during scrimmages at training camp.

The kids were all right and the veterans all looked capable of taking it up another notch in the upcoming Western Hockey League season. The last of four Red Deer Rebels main-camp scrimmages was played Tuesday evening at the Centrium. The scrimmages featured three teams bolstered by 21 players elevated from rookie camp which concluded Monday afternoon. And while a large handful of the 15- and 16-yearolds who were brought up to main camp didn’t look out of place during the on-ice sessions, by and large, the returnees — as expected — were the front-andcentre guys. “I thought today was definitely better than last night,” said Rebels head coach Jesse Wallin, looking back at Monday’s scrimmage and the three played Tuesday. “The first night you expect to be a bit sloppy but I thought it was a bit sluggish too. But the guys had their legs under them today. The pace was a little higher and they were moving better. The guys you expect to stand out did just that. I thought a lot of guys had a better day today.” Of the returnees, Wallin liked what he saw in forwards Brooks Maxwell, Joel Hamilton, Cory Millette and Tyson Ness, players who showed promise last season and will be looked upon to provide at least secondary scoring this winter. “Maxwell showed some good speed, he took a few pucks to the net and had some opportunities,” said Wallin. “Hammy was better today and Millette looked good. “You want to see all of your returning guys take it up a notch and Ness is another guy who looks strong. He took his training to another level this summer and spent time one on one with a trainer and it really shows up in his game right now. He’s skating well, he looks strong, and that’s a big difference in his game. “That’s a progression that every player has to make. You come back from one year to the next and you have to expect more from yourself. You raise your expectations and raise your level. We need that from every one of them.” Following the Tuesday evening scrimmage, the camp roster was reduced to the 42 players who will participate in today’s 7 p.m. Black and White intrasquad game (see rosters below, along with a list of players released Tuesday).

Yankees 2 Blue Jays 1 NEW YORK — When Mariano talks, Rafael Soriano listens. The career saves leader was watching when his fill-in gave up a three-run homer in the ninth inning of the Yankees’ extrainning loss Monday night and had some thoughts. So the injured star sought out Soriano when he visited the clubhouse Tuesday afternoon and gave him some advice. “’Why you got to throw too many sliders, when you got a good fastball?”’ Soriano said Rivera asked him. “I said, ’Forget about last night and let me do something different.”’ Soriano stuck to the new plan Tuesday and struck out two in the ninth, closing out a fine home start for Phil Hughes that sent New York to a 2-1 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays. Hughes (13-11) won his sixth consecutive decision at Yankee Stadium, allowing only Adeiny Hechavarria’s first major league

homer in seven effective innings. Then he turned it over to David Robertson and Soriano to finish off the four-hitter. Soriano was not available to reporters after he gave up the go-ahead homer Monday night to Colby Rasmus — on a slider. A day later, the reliever blamed the Yankees’ public relations staff for not telling him the media wanted to talk to him. But he was ready at his locker after notching his 34th save in 37 chances, one of his best outings this season. “The best day I had all year,” Soriano said. New York catcher Russell Martin said Soriano appeared to be pitching with “a little anger. He took it out the right way.” Nick Swisher had an RBI single in the third and Curtis Granderson hit a sacrifice fly in the fourth to help the Yankees to their fifth win in 12 games. They handed Ricky Romero (8-12) his 11th straight loss and beat him for the third time during his winless skid. The left-hander has not won in 12 starts

since June 22. The Blue Jays have provided little help, though, giving him just 17 runs of support in his last 10 starts. “He was very sharp tonight,” Toronto manager John Farrell said. “He was efficient and I think he benefited from a couple of extra days’ rest.” Romero did rebound from a wild outing against Detroit in which he walked eight in 5 1-3 innings. This time, he walked two and yielded five hits and two runs in seven innings. “I’ve been working hard all week, the guys, everyone has kind of been helping me out through this,” Romero said. “I’m just going to build off of this.” With sluggers Mark Teixeira out after straining his left calf Monday and Alex Rodriguez sidelined since late July because of a broken hand, manager Joe Girardi put Yankees newcomer Steve Pearce in the No. 4 spot in the lineup because he has decent numbers against lefties.

Canada’s Paralympians prepared for stiff competition THE CANADIAN PRESS LONDON — There has never been a Canadian Paralympic team as well funded and supported as the one currently in London for the 2012 Games. The bounce the country’s Paralympians experienced following the 2010 Vancouver Olympics came at a crucial time. More countries are competing in Paralympics and there’s more money behind that competition. It’s harder for Canadians to win Paralympic medals than it was just eight years ago. Canada’s objective in London is to finish top-eight in the overall gold-medal count. After finishing tied for third in 2000 and third in 2004, Canada slipped to seventh in 2008 with

19 gold. “Our athletes all know they cannot just repeat their past performance that put them on the podium,” chef de mission Gaetan Tardif said Tuesday in London. “It’s likely if they have the same time as the last Games, it will not be good enough. “The competition is truly getting fierce at the Paralympic level. A number of nations have joined the movement and increased participation and funding in the movement.” China is a big mover in Paralympic sport since hosting the Games in 2008. Tardif points out that country has a pool of 40 million people with a disability from which to draw. That’s more than Canada’s total population of 35 million. The Canadian Paralympic Committee spent a record $3

million preparing its team for London. The CPC was able to do that because the federal government and corporate sector stepped up with money following the 2010 Winter Games. “We have the largest support team ever,” said CPC chief executive officer Henry Storgaard. “We will spend the most amount of money we’ve ever spent supporting the team and all of our national sport organizations, the coaches, the trainers, the physios.” The London Paralympic Games begin with Wednesday’s opening ceremony. Veteran wheelchair rugby player Garett Hickling of Kelowna, B.C., will roll the Maple Leaf into Olympic Stadium. The 41-year-old is competing in his fifth Paralympics with two silver and a bronze earned in previous Games.

BRIEFS Skinner three shots back MIRABEL, Que. — John Russell of Chestermere and Ian Harris of Bloomfield, Mich., posted opening-round scores of even-par 72 to sit tied atop the leaderboard through 18 holes at the 2012 Canadian Men’s Senior Championship at Golf Griffon des Sources. Tom Skinner of Red Deer shot a 75 and was just three shots off the lead heading into today’s second round of the 72-hole tournament. Frank Van Dornick of Camrose came in with a 78 and Les Swelin of Sundre carded an 82.

Grizzlys finalize trade OLDS — The Olds Grizzlys on Tuesday finalized last week’s AJHL deal that netted them defenceman Matt Hanger from the Calgary Canucks. The Grizzlys dealt the rights of Brodie Clowes to the Whitecourt Wolverines in exchange for Jordan Kanscal, who was then sent to the Canucks as payment for Hanger. “Brodie had a great first year with the Olds Grizzlys. But realistically, we would only have him for one more year as his dreams are to play in the WHL,” said Grizzlys head coach Brett Hopfe.

NHL gives union new proposal, talks to resume today BETTMAN CALLS PROPOSAL “SIGNIFICANT” AND “MEANINGFUL” STEP IN NEGOTIATIONS THE CANADIAN PRESS

STORIES FROM B4

REBELS: Get better ● Wallin was hoping Jan Bittner would bolster the Rebels blueline this season and based on the 19-year-old’s performance in main camp, the bench boss is convinced he didn’t waste his one and only pick in June’s CHL import draft. “He hadn’t been on the ice for awhile prior to the first scrimmage. It was his first game in some time and I thought it was an adjustment for him,” said Wallin of the Czech rearguard. “But he looked more comfortable and he’s a guy who’s going to get better as we go along. “It’s going to be an adjustment for him with the style of play here, but he’s a big, strong guy. We want to work with him to improve his conditioning a bit, but that will come. As that takes place he’s just going to get more comfortable and continue to improve. So far he looks like he’s going to be a serviceable guy for us.” ● Team White got goals from rookie-camp graduates Jake MacLachlan, Brayden Burke and Tanner Wishnowski as well as veterans Hamilton, Turner Elson and Chad Robinson — who potted a beauty following an end-toend rush — in a 6-2 win over Team Silver Tuesday evening. Ness and Rebels captain Adam Kambeitz replied in a losing cause, the only goals returning netminder Bolton Pouliot surrendered in camp. “He looks poised in there,” said Wallin, in reference to Pouliot, who is pegged to back up Patrik Bartosak in 2012-13. “He’s not over-playing things, he’s not trying too hard. He’s just in good position, poised and under control. It’s good to see.” In the morning scrimmage, Turner Elson tallied twice and Wishnowski also connected for Team White in a 3-3 draw with Team Black, which got goals from Jesse Miller, returnee Marc McCoy and rookie-camp call-up Cole Chorney. Neither Pouliot nor Bartosak — who will sit out the Black and White game — allowed a goal while playing the first half. Taz Burman and Nicholas Patterson, both 15, played the second half for the Black and White squads. Kambeitz notched a beauty as Team Silver downed Team Black 5-3 in the afternoon scrimmage. Also scoring for the winners were Mathew Dumba, Ness, Trace Elson and Maxwell, with Charles Inglis, Scott Feser and 15-yearold defenceman Austin Strand — on a penalty shot — replying for Team Black. Bartosak gave up two goals while minding the Black net in the second half. Grant Naherniak and Matt Mitchell minded the Team Silver net. ● Tyler Hart’s time in Rebels camp was short and not so sweet. The 20-year-old defenceman registered for main camp Monday after playing parts of the last two WHL seasons with Vancouver and Prince Albert. Less than 24 hours later, he was released. “We wanted to have a look at him just to see where he’s at,” said Wallin. “We told him we’d be up front with him going through the process and ultimately he wasn’t going to be at the level to push anybody younger out of a spot and certainly none of our 20-yearolds. It was a mutual decision.” Hart is expected to play at the junior A level this season. His rights currently belong to Drayton Valley of the AJHL. ● The rosters for tonight’s Black and White game (*denotes veteran): Team White Goal — Matt Mitchell, Grant Naherniak.

OPEN: Stronger He learned a better backhand. He improved his volleying. “I saw the way the game was going. You have to get stronger and quicker. I don’t think there was much room for a plodder who could hit the ball pretty hard,” Roddick said. “It was a conscious effort, at times, and I feel like that’s added to longevity a little bit.” Following Roddick into Arthur Ashe Stadium was 32-year-old Venus Williams, playing her first U.S. Open match since she pulled out before the second round in 2011 and revealed she had been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. “Honestly, I didn’t even understand what I was going through at that time last year. I feel like just this summer I’ve come to acceptance. Like it takes a long time to come to acceptance, especially when you’re an athlete. You see yourself as this healthy person that nothing can defeat you,” Williams said. “So it takes a while before you can kind of see yourself as someone with flaws and chips in the armour. Now that I have come to accept it, it helps me a lot in how I need to prepare for my matches, the mindset I need to come into it.” After a shaky start, dropping the first two games — and even seven points in a row in one stretch — Williams used her own powerful serve to right herself and beat Bethanie Mattek-Sands of the U.S. 6-3, 6-1. One serve at 124 mph jammed Mattek-Sands’ left index finger, shoving it into a racket string so hard she needed attention from a trainer. “She was crushing her serves,” Mattek-Sands said. “I don’t think anyone’s returning those, so I’m not going to beat myself up too much.” Venus Williams won the 2000 and 2001 U.S. Opens, two of her seven career Grand Slam titles. That’s half as many as her younger sister, Serena, who began her bid for No. 15 with a 6-1, 6-1 victory over 75th-ranked CoCo Vandeweghe in Tuesday’s last match in Ashe, yet another all-American affair. “Venus is amazing. She’s the ultimate role model for me,” Serena Williams said. “She’s the ultimate fighter and champion — everything she’s gone through and is going through. I have no excuses any more. She makes me a better person.” The younger Williams won the U.S. Open in 1999, 2002 and 2008, and is among the favourites in 2012 considering the way she dominated the competition recently while winning Wimbledon and a gold medal at the London Olympics. “We need more American champions here to hold up these amazing trophies,” Serena Williams said. Elsewhere in men’s competition, Milos Raonic of Thornhill, Ont., overcame 55 unforced errors including 15 double faults to defeat Santiago Giraldo of Colombia 6-3, 4-6, 3-6, 6-4, 6-4. Raonic, the No. 15 seed, earned his 34th victory of the season in a match that lasted well over three hours. “I’m just happy with the outcome and that I managed to make the most of that moment and just find a way to win,” said Raonic. “Everything else I’ve got to hope gets better in the next round.”

JAYS: Dropped Pearce was acquired Monday from the Houston Astros for cash. The designated hitter scored on Granderson’s sacrifice fly after he had walked, advanced on a wild pitch and went to third on a groundout by Martin, batting fifth despite a .196 average coming in. The Blue Jays dropped to 12-26 since Jose Bautista first went on the disabled list July 17 because of a left wrist injury. The three-time All-Star was activated Friday but went back on the DL two games later with the same problem. He will have season-ending surgery next week to stabilize a tendon and is expected to be ready for the start of spring training. NOTES: Hughes has lost his last five road starts and is 3-8 with a 5.03 ERA away from home. He is 10-3 with a 3.25 ERA at Yankee Stadium.

las Murray to provide the league with some initial thoughts on the offer. More players are due to arrive in town on Wednesday. “As far as an NHL player is concerned, this is his contract and this is his future, and he has both the obligation and the responsibility to make the ultimate decision on it,” said Donald Fehr. “Not alone, but he has to make it with the other players as a group, so it’s crucially important that the players be involved at all stages.” After word of another proposal from the NHL began to spread, Darche said he received text messages from 20 to 25 interested players. The former Montreal Canadiens forward, who is currently an unrestricted free agent, said he remains “encouraged that we’re talking, to be honest with you.” Optimism is difficult to find around the negotiations. It took the union nearly a month to formally respond to the NHL’s initial proposal because it requested additional financial documents and ended up seeing 76,000 pages handed over. Fehr stressed that it’s crucial to make sure that every offer is fully examined before talks can move forward. “As I indicated to some of you before, it takes some time to review and analyze proposals and to make sure you understand them and make sure you formulate appropriate response to the proposal that’s made,” he said. “Certainly at this stage of the negotiations you don’t want to do that unless you’re ready and sure that you understand it.” The calendar will soon give way to September, a month when players would usually be gearing up for the start of training camp. Around the continent, those plans remain on hold. Despite putting forth an offer Bettman believes should help push talks forward, the commissioner said he “won’t feel better about this process until it’s successfully concluded, which remains our goal.”

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Ricky Romero throws against the New York Yankees in the second inning on Tuesday, in New York.

NEW YORK — With the possibility of another lockout beginning to loom large, the NHL took what commissioner Gary Bettman termed a “significant” and “meaningful” step in negotiations on Tuesday. It remains to be seen whether the NHL Players’ Association shares that view. Collective bargaining talks resumed with the NHL tabling a proposal that Bettman hailed as being much stronger than the initial one put forth by the league on July 13. He didn’t provide specific details, but a source told The Canadian Press that the offer would see the players’ share of revenue reduced to 51.6 per cent in the first year of the deal and 50.5 per cent in the second — and wouldn’t include a rollback on existing contracts. “It was a proposal that we believe is significant and had meaningful movement,” said Bettman. “It was also designed to address issues that they’ve raised with us and to address the proposal they last made to us in terms of structure and format.” The union is expected to provide a response when the sides meet again on Wednesday. Executive director Donald Fehr first wanted to take more time to evaluate the deal more closely. However, the early word leaking from the players’ side was that they weren’t enamoured with what was put forward — and Fehr hardly sounded enthused when he met the media on Tuesday afternoon. “It’s a proposal that we intend to respond to,” he said. “I’m just going to leave it at that.” The players received 57 per cent of revenues under the expiring agreement and the NHL’s original proposal called for that number to be scaled back to 43 per cent. The union countered with an offer that would see it fall around 54 per cent for three years before returning to 57 per cent in the fourth.

With the NHL’s latest offer, the sides appear to be creeping a little closer on what they’ve been referring to as the “core economic issue.” According to a source, Tuesday’s proposal from the NHL called for a six-year deal — the first three delinked from hockey-related revenues and the last three coming with a 50-50 split (when factoring in a redefinition of HRR). As a result, the salary cap would climb from $58 million in 2012-13 to approximately $71 million in 2017-18, the last season of the contract. Pressure is mounting on both sides with the CBA set to expire Sept. 15 and the league having already stated it will lock the players out if a new agreement isn’t in place by then. There’s a growing feeling throughout the sport that it’s an inevitability. Minnesota Wild forward Zach Parise, who signed a monster US$98million, 13-year deal in free agency, became the latest to voice that opinion this week when he told the St. Paul Pioneer Press that “Gary’s pretty adamant about his third lockout of his tenure.” On Tuesday, Bettman expressed hope that the league’s latest proposal would start focusing the discussion at the bargaining table. “We need to get on the same page on the economics and we’re hoping that by virtue of the proposal we made today that there will be some traction and that there will be a framework for the negotiation,” he said. The proposal was unveiled in an intimate setting, with only Fehr and union special counsel Steve Fehr in the room for the players and Bettman and deputy commissioner Bill Daly for the league. The morning meeting lasted about 45 minutes and concluded with Fehr saying he wanted to educate his constituents of the situation. About four hours later, the Fehr brothers returned to the NHL’s head office along with players Mathieu Darche, Ron Hainsey and Doug-

Athletics park opens ORGANIZERS, CONTRIBUTORS LOOKING FORWARD TO MANY MORE MILESTONES BY LAURA TESTER ADVOCATE STAFF

LACOMBE

The builders of an athletics park at Lacombe are looking forward to further milestones after holding its grand opening last weekend. The $4.4-million park was officially opened on Saturday in front of hundreds of spectators and athletes. Organizers also announced that MEGlobal, the title sponsor, had renewed its commitment through to Dec. 31, 2020, bringing its total commitment to $500,000. It had originally committed $250,000. Rocco Schurink, MEGlobal’s vice-president of operations, said the company looks forward to many years of sport, entertainment and excitement in Lacombe at MEGlobal Athletic Park. Darren Gagnon, fundraising and marketing chair for the Lacombe Athletic Park Association, said that MEGlobal’s first amount of money was used for capital expenses.

The fieldhouse was built, the turf was installed, and the bleachers and the lights were put in. The additional donation will become part of the park’s annual operating budget. It’s paid over six years, said Gagnon. “About six years ago, there was a dream to build a building with some change rooms and then it was a bigger building with change rooms, concession, public washrooms, storage, viewing towers and a media centre,” said Gagnon. “And then we added bleachers and lights.” The artificial turf was installed this spring. The final phase is to install a running track, hopefully next year or the year after. More than half of the project’s money, or about $2.5 million, was gathered through fundraising and corporate sponsorship. “We’re still fundraising for operations of it,” said Gagnon.

Lacombe County provided $700,000. The association also received provincial and federal grants. The City of Lacombe provided administrative and planning support, and donated $375,000, plus $100,000 work in kind. Gagnon said this park is exciting for all of Central Alberta. Last weekend, the association hosted soccer games including those with the Red Deer College Queens and rugby games involving the Red Deer Titans. The Central Alberta Buccaneers football team relocated there from Red Deer. The park is located at 5644 56th St., next to École Secondaire Lacombe Composite High School. Wolf Creek School Division leased the land to the City of Lacombe, and in turn it subleased the land to the parks association. “We’re operating the facility with about a $150,000 to $175,000 budget a year,” said Gagnon. ltester@reddeeradvocate.com

Woman tracks down stolen goods WEST NILE using GPS-based cellphone app Central Aberta woman contracts virus

HELPS POLICE IN VICTORIA, B.C. RECOVER THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS WORTH OF STOLEN PROPERTY BY LAURA TESTER ADVOCATE STAFF A Lacombe woman is being credited for using global-positioning technology to track down her iPad and thousands of dollars worth of other stolen goods in the Victoria area. Tanya Huether, along with friends and her brother Steve, helped police recover a stash of property, including a $10,000 violin, and illegal drugs from an apartment building in Esquimalt on Vancouver Island on Aug. 14. Huether, a 33-year-old recruiter at Canadian University College, said on Tuesday that she considers herself no super sleuth. She was just bent on getting her stuff back and not let the bad guys get away with it. On Aug. 13, she was nearly packed up to fly home to Alberta. Her items — including an iPad, Macbook Pro, Ebook reader, iPod, one Canon camera lens and a backpack of stuff — were at a friend’s house in Saanich, north of Victoria. While out for supper, someone broke into the home and stole valuables, including Huether’s possessions. Her friend Dale McCreely realized his backpack, filled with research materials for his master’s degree, was also gone. Huether immediately called her brother in Alberta so he could help track her iPad. It had been in plain sight. “Both of us logged into the initial tracking to find my iPhone software that’s installed on either an iPad or iPhone, and the device had already been deleted from there,” said Huether, regarding the Find My iPhone application. “So the thieves were already somewhat techsavvy.” Steve then suggested they could track the iPad through the Find My Friends application.

Tanya Huether of Lacombe credits the Find My Friends iPhone app for helping her track down her stolen goods in Victoria, B.C. “It’s not really a trackyour-device application, but is more of a whereare-your-friends application,” said Huether. “It does pull a GPS (global positioning system) location from the device.” Steve logged in and found a GPS location from the iPad. Saanich Police arrived and were informed about the location, point-

ing to an apartment building. With so many suites, police said they couldn’t knock on every door. The policewoman suggested to Huether and her friends, McCreely and his sister Skyla, that they could go to the apartment and check the dumpsters because sometimes the thieves will get rid of stuff they don’t want. The group

was also encouraged to look in the inside of vehicles. They went to the building but didn’t find anything. “We set the clock for 6 a.m. the next day because we thought we’d go over there and watch and see if anybody came out with our stuff,” said Huether.

A Central Alberta woman is one of four Albertans who have contracted the mosquitocarrying West Nile virus this summer. Alberta Health Services reported on Tuesday that it has confirmed three new cases since Aug. 21, the day when the province announced its first case of the virus infection involving a woman from Southern Alberta. The cases are Alberta’s first human case of West Nile virus infection reported since 2010. The woman, who lives in Central Zone, is under 65. She has developed a neurological syndrome as a result, the more serious form. Her exposure history is unconfirmed. Central Zone includes Stettler, Rocky Mountain House, and Red Deer. The three others from Calgary Zone, North Zone and South Zone have contracted nonneurological syndrome, formerly known as West Nile fever. Individuals who develop non-neurological syndrome may experience fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, skin rash, swollen glands and headaches. The small number of those who develop neurological syndrome may experience tremours, drowsiness, confusion, swallowing problems, high fever, unconsciousness, paralysis and even death. Alberta Health Services says it will not release further details about Alberta’s human West Nile virus cases for confidentiality reasons.

GOODS: Live location tracked, item seen in vehicle, police called “We thought maybe they would try and move it.” Early on Aug. 14, Huether received a text message from Steve, saying the location of the iPad had moved. He enabled her to log into his Find My Friends account on her iPhone and that way, she could see the live location from the missing iPad as well. The trio went to the building and checked dumpsters and vehicles. Huether spotted her backback inside a sport utility vehicle and called 911. Police arrived and after initial investigation, decided to tow the vehicle. A woman then came barrelling out of the apartment building, wondering why her SUV was being towed. Police arrested her. Victoria police say the woman’s suite was well known to them. A total of four people were arrested. A search warrant was obtained. Credit cards, large plastic tubs full of laptops, guitars and about three litres of GHB, the date rape drug, were among the items retrieved. “This suite was a virtual department store of stolen property,” said Sgt. Barrie Cockle in a news release. “The work by this tourist (Huether) and our officers will put a significant dent in property crimes throughout the (region).” Huether has her backpack and house keys, but is waiting for the rest of her items. Looking back, she is glad she didn’t give up. “I really didn’t want these guys to win,” said Huether. “It was a lot of people working together. The police wouldn’t have gotten it on their own. Without my brother’s help, I wouldn’t have been able to do it.” Various charges, in-

CBC shuts down all analog transmitters

Septic station changing

Central Albertan CBC television viewers who received the signal through antennas will notice they have lost service recently. As a cost-saving move, CBC/RadioCanada shut down all of its analog transmitters across Canada. Nationwide, 607 transmitters were shut down, including Red Deer and Coronation in Central Alberta, as of July 31. The measure announced in April will save the corporation $10 million annually, said CBC spokesman Angus McKinnon, in an email. Only about two per cent of viewers were affected by the change. McKinnon says there are no plans to replace the transmitter with a digital version, meaning those using antennas need to find an alternative, including cable, satellite or highspeed Internet.

A septic receiving station in Sylvan Lake will be redesigned to stop RVs from getting backed up onto Hwy 20. The RV dump station located at Erickson and Industrial Drives on the east side of the highway has become increasingly popular, leading to traffic woes as lines form at the end of the weekend. To fix the problem, the town intends to reconfigure the site so RVs enter from the east and not the west. It is only seen as a temporary measure, though, because the site has other problems, including its proximity to an intersection and the UFA, which must put up with RVs making U-turns in its lot. Town public works manager John Watson told council on Monday that the existing location worked well when it was chosen in 1993 and there was no nearby development.

However, a new site is needed in an industrial area for a better receiving station with double discharge lanes and more lighting. Council approved making the changes to switch the entrances to the current site. Options for a new location will be brought forward as part of 2013 budget deliberations.

Hobbema officer charged Hobbema RCMP have charged one of their own. Police say the charge stems from a complaint from a member of the public who alleged excessive force was used during an arrest that took place in Hobbema. As the matter is before the courts, the RCMP are not in a position to comment further on the details of the case. Hobbema RCMP Const. Ronald Craig Lavallee faces a charge of assault and is scheduled to appear in Wetaskiwin provincial court on Sept. 13. Lavallee has worked with the RCMP for more than six years. He has also worked at the Ponoka RCMP detachment. He is currently on medical leave.

Mike Russell said it’s unusual to have a citizen help police solve a crime using GPS technology. “I don’t imagine it happens too much overall,” said Russell. “This led us to the lair and police are still actually cataloguing it now. That’s how much there was.” ltester@reddeeradvocate.com

VIRUS: Fight the bite “West Nile virus infection can cause severe illness with debilitating, lifelong effects,” said Dr. Gerry Predy, senior medical officer of health for AHS. “I strongly encourage all Albertans to make a healthy habit of fighting the bite.” Albertans are encouraged to wear insect repellent with DEET, wear long-sleeved, light-coloured shirts and pants, wear a hat, and consider staying indoors at dusk and dawn, when mosquitoes are most active.

A debate over whether the City of Red Deer should continue fluoridating water goes public in mid-September. The city started fluoridating water in the mid-1950s after holding a plebiscite on the issue, said Tara Shand, acting communications manager. In recent months, council has been reviewing the issues surrounding whether the city should continue fluoridating water, including a series of public consultations, Shand said on Tuesday. A day has now been set up for citizens to hear both sides of the debate and then express their wishes directly to the mayor and council. Two experts — one in support of fluoridation and the other against it — will give their views in a public forum set for the afternoon of Tuesday, Sept. 11, at the Sheraton Hotel. James Beck, a professor of medical biophysics at the University of Calgary, will join Digby Horne, a medical officer of health with the Alberta Health Services Central Zone to give opposing views on the issue from noon until 1:30. The session reconvenes at 5 p.m. with the mayor and city council to form a panel to hear from people who would like to address the fluoridation issue. Results of the discussion will be included in a recommendation to be debated during one of council’s regular meetings in October. Council will decide at that time how to proceed with the issue. The course of action could include putting the question to a plebiscite, said Shand. Council meets on Oct. 1 and 17. City

RIFCO OFF TO RECORD START Rifco Inc. (TSXV: RFC) is off to a record start to its 2012 fiscal year. The Red Deer-based company, which provides auto purchase loans through a network of dealerships across Canada, has reported a number of all-time highs for the three months ended June 30. These include record revenues of $5.3 million, record net income of $976,000 and record earnings per basic share of 4.9 cents. Rifco’s revenue for the quarter marked a 46 per cent increase over the $3.6 million recorded for the same period in 2011. Its net income was up 44 per cent from $677,000, and its basic earnings per share jumped from 3.5 cents.

TEMPLE REIT TO CONVERT BUSINESS WINNIPEG — Temple Real Estate Investment Trust (TSX:TR.UN) announced Tuesday that it plans to convert to a corporate structure operating under the new name Temple Hotels Inc. The REIT says it is making the change because the nature of its assets and operations means it does not currently qualify for the so-call “REIT exception” under the federal tax code. Under the proposed changes, unitholders will receive one common share in the new company in exchange for each unit held, while holders of options will receive options to acquire common shares of Temple Hotels which provide for the same vesting provisions, exercise prices and expiry dates. Holders of convertible debentures will be entitled to convert such convertible debentures into common shares on the same terms and conditions as at present. No changes to the board or senior management is contemplated. A unitholders meeting is expected to be held in October to vote on the proposal. Temple owns a number of hotels in Alberta, Saskatchewan, British Columbia and the Northwest Territories.

New hotel catering to long-term guests

DONATING BIG

BY HARLEY RICHARDS ADVOCATE BUSINESS EDITOR Toby Lampard is confident there’s a need for long-term hotel accommodation in Red Deer. In fact, his company is betting $12 million on it. The president of L-7 Inc., a family-owned company, said on Tuesday that work is expected to begin this fall on a four-storey, 83-suite hotel at 6822 66th St. That Oriole Park West address is near the Mohave Grill and Tim Hortons restaurants, as well as three existing hotels: Comfort Inn & Suites, Ramada Inn & Suites and Best Western Red Deer Inn & Suites. What will distinguish L-7’s property from those competitors will be the fact it’s designed for extended stay guests — those that often require lodging for weeks or even months. “That’s the niche that we’re looking at,” said Lampard. “It’s a new offering in the Red Deer market.” All of the rooms will have kitchen facilities, with both studio suites and two-bedroom suites available. Some will have a connecting door to adjacent units, giving guests the option for even more space. Amenities will include a breakfast room, an exercise and spa room, a small boardroom and laundry facilities. The budget for the project is about $11.9 million, said Lampard. He expects it to be ready for occupancy by the fall of 2013. Red Deer’s municipal planning commission issued development approval for the hotel last week, including a relaxation of the maximum allowable height from three storeys to four. The approval included a proposed second phase, which could result in an additional 80 rooms on the west side of the hotel. “A second phase allows us to analyze the market as we see it, and provide that type of offering,” said Lampard. He expects the hotel’s guests to include oilfield workers, consultants and local residents who are temporarily without lodging — such as home-buyers awaiting occupancy. Nova Chemicals Corp.’s plans to construct another polyethylene production line at Joffre should also generate business for an extended stay hotel, said Lampard. “The last time there was a large build-out at Joffre there were people driving from Edmonton because they couldn’t get hotels.” Lampard believes the hotel’s location near Hwy 2 and a major industrial area of the city will attract guests. He confirmed that those seeking short-term accommodation, such as travellers, will also be welcome. The hotel is expected to be affiliated with a national chain, said Lampard, although the identity of the brand has yet to be confirmed. He said the flag the hotel will operate under will likely be a new one for the city. hrichards@reddeeradvocate.com

The two Staples stores in Red Deer are well on their way to raising about $18,000 in cash and merchandise donated by their customers which will go to helping the Women’s Outreach in Red Deer said Matyas. Last year the 340 Staples stores across the country raised more than $1 million towards the back to school campaign said Matyas.

New Dollar Tree store slated for Bower Plaza Red Deer’s discount retail market is about to get a little more crowded. Dollar Tree Canada has laid claim to 10,500 square feet of space in Bower Plaza at 2325 Gaetz Ave. The space was previously occupied by Sport Mart, which closed earlier this month. Shane Olin of Blackstone Commercial Real Estate Services, which manages the shopping centre, said Dollar Tree is scheduled to take possession of the premises on Sept. 1. He didn’t know when its Red Deer

store would open, and inquiries by the Advocate to Dollar Tree’s Canadian head office in Burnaby, B.C., did not produce an immediate response. Dollar Tree Canada is operated by Dollar Tree Inc., a Virginia-based chain of discount variety stores that has more than 4,300 outlets in the United States. In November 2010, the company announced that it had acquired 86 Canadian Dollar Giant Stores. It has since opened other stores in Canada. Dollar Tree Canada’s website says its stores

carry a broad range of products, including housewares, dinnerware, cleaning supplies, food, health and beauty items, toys, party supplies, books and seasonal décor. Olin said two smaller bays in Bower Plaza remain available for lease. Meanwhile, exterior renovations continue on the building, with this work expected to wrap up in October or November, said Olin. Businesses in the shopping centre will remain open throughout.

Oil prices rise as Isaac approaches BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Photo by RANDY FIEDLER/Advocate staff

Labourer Casey Wenger of Shunda Construction walks down the second floor hallway of the gutted Coronation Inn Tuesday. Affordable rental suites for seniors are being developed in the longtime hotel, with commercial space to remain on its main floor. Dating back to the mid-1960s, the downtown landmark has in the past been called the Stanford Inn, Court House Inn and Granada Inn.

Oil rose as Isaac gathered strength on its way into the heart of the Gulf of Mexico’s oil and refinery operations. The price got a boost after midday when forecasters said Isaac had strengthened into a Category 1 hurricane with 75 mph (120 kph) winds. Benchmark oil rose 86 cents to end at $96.33 per barrel in New York as traders waited to see how much — and for how long — the storm’s powerful winds and driving rains will affect oil production and refinery operations in the region. Brent crude rose 32 cents to $112.58 in London. Nearly 94 per cent of oil production in the Gulf, or 1.3 million barrels per day, has been halted, the U.S. government said Tuesday. At least 1 million barrels per day of refining capacity is expected to be shut down, which is about half the refining capacity in the storm’s predicted path. The U.S. consumes about 19 million barrels of oil products per day. Isaac is expected to make landfall over southeastern Louisiana, possibly the New Orleans area, either late Tuesday or early Wednesday. “We have to wait and see. A lot of refinery capacity was taken down and the key is going to be how the restart goes,” said Andrew Lebow, senior vicepresident of energy derivatives at Jefferies Bache LLC. Refineries should escape significant damage if Isaac remains a Category 1 storm. The bigger issue is whether they’ll have access to electricity. Some analysts say they could be up and running

within hours without damage or a loss of electricity. Others say they likely will remain out of operation for about three days. Price Futures Group analyst Phil Flynn said that oil producers will take more oil out of inventory in the coming weeks to make up any lost production. The storm also will slow imports of oil into the Gulf. U.S. pump prices continued to increase ahead of Isaac’s landfall. The national average for a gallon of gasoline rose less than a penny to $3.756 per gallon ($1 a litre), according to AAA, Wright Express and the Oil Price Information Service. That’s nearly 4 cents more than a week ago. Gas prices in Mississippi, Alabama, Florida and Louisiana — states in Isaac’s path — have tallied even bigger increases. In a related development, a fire was extinguished at Venezuela’s biggest oil refinery after burning for three days, officials said. Oil Minister Rafael Ramirez said officials expect to restart operations in two days. The U.S. imports about 360,000 barrels per day of gasoline from Venezuela, which is delivered to the East Coast. That helped sink gasoline futures. They fell 2.87 cents to settle at $3.126 per gallon a day after rising nearly 8 cents on Monday. In other energy trading: ● Heating oil rose 1 cent to $3.12 per gallon. ● Natural gas fell 4 cents to $2.61 per 1,000 cubic feet. The government estimated that about 67 per cent of Gulf natural gas production has been suspended due to Isaac.

MARKETS CLOSE TORONTO — The Toronto stock market closed lower Tuesday as buyers were discouraged by data showing falling American consumer confidence while waiting for hints of further stimulus from a speech by the chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve on Friday. However, the financial sector supplied some lift after Bank of Montreal (TSX:BMO) and Scotiabank (TSX:BNS) released quarterly earnings that beat expectations. The S&P/TSX composite index slipped 38.92 points to 12,009.9 amid falling energy and mining stocks while the TSX Venture Exchange dipped 4.94 points to 1,241.88. BMO shares gained 23 cents to $57.93 as the bank posted

net income of $970 million or $1.42 per share, up 37 per cent from a year ago. On an adjusted basis, the bank’s earnings were $1.49 per share, beating analyst expectations by 10 cents. BMO also increased its dividend by two cents to 72 cents a share. But Scotiabank’s shares lost early momentum to move down four cents to $52.90 even as its quarterly net profits grew by 57 per cent to $2.05 billion or $1.69 a share, while the bank’s core EPS was $1.22 per share, three cents better than expectations. The bank also said it was also raising its quarterly dividend by two cents, to 57 cents per share. The Scotiabank results were helped by an after-tax gain of $614 million from the sale of its headquarters in Toronto’s financial district.

Western Bank 5.25 5.50 5.75 6.00 6.50 1.15 1.45 2.15 2.55 This chart is compiled by the Advocate each week with figures supplied by financial institutions operating locally. Term deposit rates are for $5,000 balances, while guaranteed investment certificates are for $1,000 balances. Figures are subject to change without notice. The Canadian dollar rose 0.31 of a cent to 101.24 cents US. New York indexes were mainly listless as a drop in consumer confidence competed with positive news from the housing sector. The Dow Jones industrial average dropped 21.68 points to 13,102.99 as the Conference Board said that its Consumer Confidence Index fell to 60.6 from a revised 65.4 in July. Economists had expected a reading of 66. The index now stands at the lowest point since November 2011 when the reading was at 55.2. The indicator is widely watched because consumer spending, including major purchases like health care, accounts for 70 per cent of U.S. economic activity. The Nasdaq composite index was 3.95 points higher at 3,077.14 and the S&P 500 index was down 1.14 points at 1,409.3. The news was better on the housing front as Standard & Poor’s/Case-Shiller home price index showed prices rose in June in all of the 20 American cities tracked. The measure of national prices rose 2.3 per cent in June from May, while home prices jumped nearly seven per cent in the April-June quarter from the previous quarter. Traders also looked ahead to a speech Friday by U.S. Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke at the central bank’s annual retreat at Jackson Hole, Wyo. Markets have registered solid gains in August, in large measure from expectations that global central banks will step in with further stimulus measures to maintain the momentum of the economic revival and preserve the eurozone monetary union. But some analysts caution Bernanke is unlikely to tip his hand ahead of a slew of key eco-

nomic data next week, particularly the non-farm payrolls report for August. This past month has seen a string of positive economic data, starting with better-thanexpected job creation in July, rising retail sales and positive housing reports. “We do think he will take the opportunity to reiterate that the Fed is data driven, they’re looking at the data and the data does not suggest a panacea at this point,” said Craig Fehr, Canadian markets specialist at Edward Jones in St. Louis. “It simply suggests an economy that for some time now has been growing slowly, it will continue to grow slowly and the Fed will be there where necessary,” he said. “But we don’t think that comes in the form of some miraculous action from Jackson Hole.” Meanwhile, European Central Bank head Mario Draghi has called off his trip to the Fed conference, due to a heavy workload as top ECB officials shape their plans to intervene in bond markets and lower borrowing costs for indebted governments. The ECB plan remains subject to debate ahead of the bank’s monthly meeting on Sept. 6, when it is expected to announce more details. Germany’s central bank is still opposed to the plan to buy government bonds. On the TSX, the financial sector gained about 0.2 per cent with

Royal Bank (TSX:RY), which reports Thursday, ahead 26 cents to $54.17. CIBC (TSX:CM), TD Bank (TSX:TD), National Bank (TSX:NA) also post earnings results Thursday. All other sectors declined with the base metals sector the biggest loser, down almost one per cent while September copper was off a penny at US$3.46 a pound. Teck Resources (TSX:TCK.B) declined 39 cents to C$28.54.

Boost by government might not be what expected says CIBC

Samsung goes back to drawing board THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SEOUL, South Korea — A U.S. jury’s $1 billion verdict against Samsung for what rival Apple claimed was the illegal copying of its iPhone and iPad designs signals a turning point for the South Korean electronics giant known for its prowess in adapting the innovations of others and nimbly executing production. The verdict not only jolted the world of global gadgetry but also likely sparked some soul-searching in Suwon, South Korea, where the family-run Samsung conglomerate is based. The world’s top seller of smartphones finds itself in the post-iPhone reality, where the decades-long practice of industry mimicry now can mean a bruising legal challenge. And so Samsung finds itself in a position of having to recreate itself as an innovator, not an

imitator. But the switch, experts say, will be much more challenging and time-consuming than the shortcuts Samsung used to take. “The case shows that Samsung is still inadequate in soft(ware) area, such as designs and patents,” M.S. Hwang, a Hong Kong-based analyst at Samsung Securities, said in a commentary. Samsung Electronics Co. has a top-heavy command structure that centres on the founding family. At the apex is 70-year-old Lee Kunhee, who inherited the mantle from his father, Samsung founder Lee Byung-chull, in 1987. The strict hierarchy has enabled speedy and bold investment and swift execution. That, plus the ability to build on the innovations of others, like Sony Corp. — has helped Samsung become the world’s largest maker of televisions, memory chips, liquid crystal display panels

and now smartphones. Its path is reminiscent of many Japanese companies, like Canon Inc. and Nikon Corp., which started out by copying European designs and then became innovators and pace-setters in the 1960s and 70s. “It is impossible to be an innovator from the beginning,” said Chang Sea-jin, a professor at National University of Singapore. “If you don’t have a technology, imitating more advanced companies is the easiest way to catch up.” Samsung has long been regarded as a “fast follower” — imitating or licensing technologies and then competing by lowering costs, improving quality and adding functions. It overcame its belated entry into the memory chip business in 1983 with efficient mass production and investments. Today, Samsung supplies about 30 per cent of the chips that go into electronic gadgets.

TORONTO — Economists at CIBC say the Bank of Canada’s forecast could be too rosy when it comes to how big a boost government spending will give to the country’s economy. “Just as we warned that the Bank was too optimistic in its initial 2012 call, its 2013 forecast also looks to be counting its government spending chickens well before they will be hatched,” said CIBC chief economist Avery Shenfeld. CIBC estimates real government spending will decline by 0.9 per cent in the 2013-2014 fiscal year — pointing to a 0.2 percentage-point drag on real gross domestic product growth. That contrasts with the Bank of Canada’s expectation of a 0.3 per cent growth boost. “The result is that the Bank’s forecast could be about 0.5 percentage points too high, enough to make the difference between growth being above potential, requiring interest rate hikes, or as in our forecast of 2 per

cent growth next year, not fast enough to narrow the output gap and call for monetary tightening,” said Shenfeld. Canada’s economy is strong enough to make it prudent to give up some growth in order to “right the fiscal ship,” while leaving room to respond with stimulus if necessary, he added. Although CIBC’s forecast is not as bullish as the Bank of Canada’s, the country’s economy remains in an “enviable position” as serious concerns remain about the economic health of countries like Italy and Japan. And in Canada, concern about fiscal restraint dragging on GDP growth is garnering less attention than fears the U.S. economy could “tumble over a fiscal cliff.” “Having started from a combined federal/provincial deficit of only a third of that stateside, there’s no equivalent threat of an outright recession being induced by cuts coming from Ottawa and the provinces,” said Shenfeld. “We’ll get through our fiscal drag much sooner than the U.S. with a lot less pain in total.”

James Bond and his iconic Aston Martin man the way to the entrance of “Designing 007: Fifty Years of Bond Style.” 2006’s Casino Royale were a nod to the beach shorts worn by Connery in 1965’s Thunderball. Halle Berry’s two-piece orange swimsuit in 2002’s Die Another Day echoes Ursula Andress’ memorable bathing suit from Dr. No. That head-turning (for the time) two-piece outfit was made overnight, with Andress’ underwire bra covered in cotton. The show is divided into rooms, featuring everything and everyone from M’s office and Q Branch to “Foreign Territories” and “Villains and Enigmas.” While the array of knick-knacks and memorabilia will tickle Bond fans’ fancy, ultimately the films themselves remain the star of this show. Video screens throughout the exhibit play loops from the movies, reminding viewers — among other things — just how many times Bond has set foot in a casino. Visitors may find their journey though the show delayed as they stop to take in the film clips, especially in the casino room where various gambling

scenes play side by side. The film clips also save some of the sparser rooms. Action scenes from 1977’s The Spy Who Loved Me — at the time the most expensive movie stunt of all time at $500,000 — and The World is Not Enough are the highlights of the “Ice Palace” room. The show also offers a look at Fleming, a complex character who used his background in naval intelligence and the newspaper world to churn out Bond novels in just eight weeks. He died in 1964 at the age of 56. The exhibition, with close to 500 pieces, draws from Bond’s EON Productions and private collectors including Shirley Bassey. It was designed by Ab Rogers with guest curation by fashion historian Bronwyn Cosgrave and Oscar-winning costume designer Lindy Hemming. The shaken not stirred crowd will love every moment, even if they cannot take photos inside the exhibit.

his creative legacy. The last film Scott directed was 2010’s Unstoppable.

The tabloid was the only national newspaper to carry the pictures, which first appeared online and quickly became an international talking point. They captured the third in line to Britain’s throne frolicking in the nude with an unidentified woman after what was alleged to have been a game of strip billiards in his Las Vegas hotel room. Royal officials argued that the photos were a breach of the prince’s privacy, but the officials weren’t among those who’d filed complaints with Britain’s Press Complaints Commission. That makes it unlikely any action will be taken against The Sun, which said it published the photos in the public interest.

Foo Fighters to take a break from touring after U.S. dates

Director Tony Scott cremated; scholarship created LOS ANGELES — Tony Scott has been cremated, and his widow will keep his remains at their Los Angeles-area home. The information is included on Scott’s death certificate, which was released Monday. The document doesn’t include a formal determination of Scott’s cause of death. Coroner’s officials expect it will take several weeks to finalize their investigation, but they are treating his case as a probable suicide. The Top Gun director jumped from a bridge into the Los Angeles Harbor on Aug. 19. Family and close friends gathered over the weekend to honour the British-born director at a private memorial. His family also announced Monday that they have created a memorial scholarship at the American Film Institute to help future filmmakers and honour

LONDON — Music industry online magazine NME says the Foo Fighters have played their “last show for a long time,” but an official familiar with the group says it has more concerts scheduled. As the group wrapped up a gig in Reading, England, on Sunday, Frontman Dave Grohl told the crowd the tour, in support of its latest album Wasting Light, would be its last — a comment that has set fans in the Twittersphere alight with concern. But the official says Grohl’s comments were misinterpreted. The official said on condition of anonymity that the band has four U.S. shows in September and that after that it will take some time off “after touring the world for a year.”

3,600 complaints over prince pics LONDON — A press watchdog says it has received some 3,600 complaints over The Sun’s decision to publish nude photos of Britain’s Prince Harry.

Thakkar wins Walter Carsen Prize OTTAWA — Renowned classical Indian dancer Menaka Thakkar has won this year’s Canada Council Walter Carsen Prize for Excellence in the Performing Arts. The founder and artistic director of the Menaka Thakkar Dance Company in Toronto nabbed the $30,000 honour on Tuesday. Named after Toronto businessman and philanthropist Walter Carsen, the award honours Canadian artists who have spent the major part of their career at home working in dance, theatre or music.

LONDON — Fifty years on, James Bond remains a movie juggernaut. While the protagonist, villains and gadgets may change, the appeal of 007 lingers. The world of Bond is not timeless — the cutting edge of the car phone and pager in 1963’s From Russia With Love has long since dulled — but 007’s style has been a constant. Bond cuts a suave figure, be it in a dinner jacket prowling a casino, or a ski outfit outracing a legion of no-name henchmen. The exhibit Designing 007: 50 Years of Bond Style showcases Ian Fleming’s creations on the 50th anniversary of Dr. No, the first of the Bond movies. The show debuted in July at the Barbican in London, running through Sept. 6. In addition to the exhibition, the performing arts centre added to the Bond mood with a martini bar and Bond shop. It comes to Toronto in the fall, with the TIFF Bell Lightbox hosting the first North American stop from Oct. 26 to Jan. 20, 2013. The Toronto visit coincides with the release of Skyfall, the 23rd film in the Bond series (not counting the 1967 version of Casino Royale and 1983’s Never Say Never Again). And Bond’s contribution to the Olympic opening ceremonies, albeit in a supporting role to the Queen. Bond aficionados will be enamoured with the detail of the exhibition and its stylish layout. At the Barbican, foreign-language movie posters (like Bons Baisers de Russie and Kasino Rojal) adorn the way to an entrance in the form of a giant gun barrel. Above, six TV screens air credits from the various movies. The exhibit is crammed with Bond trinkets, from Oddjob’s hat (powered by an electric motor) and the original golden gun to Jaws’ (actor Richard Kiel’s) metal teeth. There’s Bond’s platinum American Express card and Daniel Craig’s Bond passport (the spy was born April 13, 1968, as opposed to Craig’s March 2nd birthdate that same year). Those who take the time to read the wall-mounted blurbs or watch video interviews with members of the behind-the-camera family will learn more about the Bond franchise. The late Terence Young, director of Dr. No, used Mayfair tailor Anthony Sinclair — who dressed both Young and Fleming — to give Sean Connery a stylish made-to-measure or bespoke look. The director urged Connery to wear the suits in his spare time, even to sleep in them, to feel more at home in the clothes. Young, a former member of the Guards, favoured the slim trousers and hacking (riding) jacket that became Bond’s sleek wardrobe. Others in the US$1-million production were not as fortunate. M’s secretary Ms. Moneypenny, played by Lois Maxwell, wore her own clothes. As the series grew in popularity, so did the budgets. The movie-makers turned to renowned designers to add to the Bond sense of style. Today, Tom Ford dresses Bond. The exhibit contains many of the outfits worn in the movies. Some of the clothes paid homage to earlier films. Craig’s form-fitting swimming trunks in

JUICING MAY BE YOUR ANSWER

SOMETHING TO CHEW ON

More swine flu spotted BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Public health officials in the United States are reporting more human cases of swine flu, including three infections where the virus likely passed from person to person. Officials from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta say an additional 52 cases have been spotted, bringing the count since July to 276 human infections. Those cases have been recorded in 10 states; so far no infections with this virus have been seen outside the United States. The vast majority of the cases have been in young children who had contact with pigs; many of the infections seem to have taken place at state and county fairs. But the CDC says it now knows of three recent cases where a person was likely infected by another person, not a pig. Still, the agency’s experts say there is no need at this time to call for a closure of the swine exhibits at fairs. Earlier this week Michael

Osterholm, a flu expert from the University of Minnesota’s Center for Infectious Diseases Research and Policy, said the pig barns should be closed to minimize the risk of future spread of the virus. The virus is a swine H3N2, a distant cousin of the human H3N2 viruses. The human virus entered the pig population in the late 1990s and has circulated among swine ever since. This particular H3N2 is identified as H3N2v, with the “v” being short for variant, a signal that it’s an animal virus. Nancy Cox, who heads the CDC’s Influenza Division, said Friday that the agency and its partners are weighing a lot of factors as they monitor the situation. For now, they feel the risk doesn’t warrant closing the barns. “When you’re looking at shutting down all of this activity where there may not be a problem, you know you are trying to balance many, many things,” Cox said. “If we saw that there were really high numbers of cases or we saw that there was an increase in severity or an in-

crease in transmission ... there could be a lot of different kinds of signals that would change what we recommended.” To date most of the illnesses triggered by the virus have been mild. There have been 13 people hospitalized with H3N2v infections, but no deaths. One of the signals officials are watching for is spread of the virus among people. But they aren’t looking for just one generation of spread — a sick child infects a family member, but the chain of transmission dies there. They are looking for sustained spread. “The presence of human-tohuman spread is interesting. The presence of community transmission, several generations for instance of community spread is critical,” said Dr. Joe Bresee, chief of influenza epidemiology and prevention at the CDC. Bresee wouldn’t say in which states the cases of human spread were spotted. It’s up to individual states to release that information, he said.

U.S. approves Gilead Sciences’ anti-HIV pill BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Monday approved a new anti-HIV pill that combines four medicines to combat the virus that causes AIDS. The agency approved Gilead Sciences’ Stribild as a once-a-day treatment to control HIV in adults who have not previously been treated for infection. The pill contains two previously approved antiviral drugs, emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, currently sold as the combination pill Truvada. Those drugs are combined with two new drugs: elvitegravir and cobicistat. Elvitegravir

interferes with one of the enzymes that HIV needs to multiply. Cobicistat helps prolong the effect of elvitegravir. Company studies showed that 88 to 90 per cent of patients taking Stribild had an undetectable level of HIV in their blood after 48 weeks, compared with 87 per cent for patients taking Atripla, another HIV drug that contains Truvada and one other drug. An estimated 1.2 million Americans have HIV, which develops into AIDS unless treated with antiviral drugs. AIDS causes the body’s immune system to break down, leading to infections which are eventually fatal. Patients can live relatively healthy, normal lives when

treated with antiviral cocktails. Like most other HIV drugs, Stribild will carry a boxed warning about potentially dangerous side effects, including severe liver problems and the buildup of lactic acid. More common side effects include nausea and diarrhea. Earlier this year, Gilead received FDA approval to market Truvada as the first preventive medicine for healthy people who are at high risk of acquiring HIV. Truvada was first approved in 2004 for patients already infected with the virus. Gilead Sciences Inc. is based in Foster City, Calif. Shares of the company fell 10 cents to close at $57.19 and then added 11 cents in afterhours trading.

RED DEER ADVOCATE Wednesday, Aug. 29, 2012 D5

Finding Legionnaires’ outbreak source PM’s chief of staff faces conflict of interest questions like ‘looking for needle in haystack’ THE CANADIAN PRESS

over Barrick Gold links OTTAWA — The federal ethics watchdog is considering whether Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s chief of staff, Nigel Wright, improperly used his influential position to further the private interests of friends at Barrick Gold Corp. (TSX:ABX) Ethics commissioner Mary Dawson has discussed the matter with Wright and is now pondering whether the onetime Bay Street titan broke any conflict of interest rules by allowing himself to be lobbied twice in May by Barrick. “All we can say, given confidentiality rules, is that Commissioner Dawson has followed up with Mr. Wright and is continuing to consider the matter,” Margot Booth, a spokesperson for Dawson’s office, said Tuesday. Wright enjoys a close personal connection with Barrick founder and board chairman Peter Munk and his son, Anthony Munk, who sits on Barrick’s board. Yet he was involved in two phone calls from Barrick in May. Foreign Affairs Minister Minister John Baird didn’t wait for Dawson to rule on the affair. He pronounced Tuesday that Wright did nothing wrong. “Let me be very clear. Mr. Wright has no personal financial interest in Barrick Gold ... and obviously because

he has no financial or personal interest in the company, he isn’t a part of it,” Baird told reporters. “I can say this, that there is no conflict of interest, there’s no plausible conflict of interest. And I can also confirm that he didn’t take part in any decisions made on this issue.” Baird confirmed that Barrick called to discuss concerns about Harper’s policy regarding the Falkland Islands. Harper had angered the government of Argentina, where Barrick has mining operations, by blocking a declaration recognizing Argentina’s claim the to the islands during the Summit of the Americas meeting in April. According to report summaries filed by Barrick with the federal lobbying commissioner, an unidentified representative of the company contacted Wright on May 14 and again nine days later. Harper’s foreign policy adviser, Andrea van Vugt, and his principal secretary, Ray Novak, who is Harper’s point man on government-to-government relations, were also involved in the second call. Baird insisted Wright said nothing during the two phone calls and took no action on the issue. “They raised their point of view, and he made no comments and did not respond and the issue was put to those who are responsible,” Baird said, adding that the matter was ultimately “properly dealt with by me as the minister of foreign affairs.”

Public health investigators trying to find the source of Quebec City’s legionnaires’ outbreak have a tough job on their hands, experts say. Imagine trying to home in on a source of an outbreak when the bug you are seeking is found all over — even in puddles of rain water on city streets. When it comes from a large family of bacteria, you need to distinguish the outbreak type from all its relatives. Add to that the fact that building owners and maintenance companies may be scurrying to clean up cooling towers to ensure they aren’t spewing bacteria-laced water droplets. So by the time investigators arrive to do an inspection the evidence of contamination may be gone. These are some of the challenges that may be facing the Quebec City team as they struggle to pinpoint how a total of 126 people, as of Tuesday, have become sick in the centre of the historic city. To date, eight people have died. Legionnaires’ outbreaks like this one — in a community rather than in a confined space like a hospital or a hotel — can be particularly difficult to crack, suggested a Legionella expert from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control. And Dr. Lauri Hicks, who works in the CDC’s respiratory diseases branch,

said sometimes an answer can’t be found. “In a community outbreak, the number of potential sources can be too numerous to count. It can be like looking for the proverbial needle in the haystack,” Hicks said in an interview Tuesday from Atlanta. She recalled a recent U.S. outbreak where the final answer evaded the investigating team, which included experts from the CDC. Hicks wouldn’t disclose where the outbreak occurred and would only say it happened in the past couple of years. “There are certainly community outbreaks where we’ve been involved where the source hasn’t been identified — or there have been multiple potential sources identified and it’s just not clear which is the most likely one,” she said. Cooling towers were thought to be the source of the bacteria in the outbreak Hicks referred to. And public health officials in Quebec City have also fingered cooling towers as the likely culprit in this case. As of Monday, they had inspected more than 100 in the identified zone of infection, a large swath covering most of Quebec City’s lower town, near the provincial legislature. They plan to revisit 30 later this week. They are looking for Legionella bacteria. Legionnaires’ disease is caused by Legionella, generally — though not always — Legionella pneumophila.

Republicans crown Romney

ISAAC APPROACHS LANDFALL

BY LEE-ANNE GOODMAN THE CANADIAN PRESS TAMPA, Fla. — Mitt Romney was crowned the Republican presidential nominee on Tuesday at the party’s national convention, but his rare moment in the sun following a fractious primary battle was clouded by a fierce storm taking dead aim at the Gulf Coast. Delegates from every U.S. state and territory officially affirmed Romney as the party’s nominee, finally celebrating him as the man they hope will deny President Barack Obama a second term on Nov. 6 with a conservative platform of lower taxes, fiscal responsibility and small government. But seven years after Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast and the city of New Orleans, another hurricane — this one dubbed Isaac — cast a pall over Romney’s triumph. The convention started a day late because of Isaac, a slow-moving but powerful hurricane packing 120-kilometre-an-hour winds and following the same ominous trajectory as Katrina. There were also tornado warnings in some Gulf states late Tuesday. The city of New Orleans has still not fully recovered from Katrina, which roared ashore exactly seven years ago Wednesday. George W. Bush’s muchmaligned response to that hurricane was considered one of the lowest moments of the Republican president’s eight years in office. Hurricane Isaac, thankfully, wasn’t expected to grow as mighty as Katrina before landfall. And federal officials said the galvanized levees around New Orleans can withstand much stronger storms. Convention organizers were fretting anew, however, about the “optics” of a celebratory gathering of a party already regarded as unfeeling by some Americans while Gulf Coast residents prepare for more devastation, in particular extreme flooding from storm surges. Negative perceptions about the party haven’t been helped in recent days by Romney surrogate John Sununu, who griped Tuesday about the attention the media is paying to the storm. “We aren’t talking about jobs,” Sununu, a Romney campaign co-chairman and former New Hampshire governor, said on Fox News. “It’s the media that is obsessed with Mother Nature.” A few days earlier, Sununu expressed hope that Isaac “moves as far west as he can” so that the convention wasn’t disrupted. Media coverage of the convention, indeed, has been significantly curtailed by the hurricane, even as 20,000 delegates crowd Tampa. Among those spotted in the throngs have been controversial congresswoman Michele Bachmann, libertarian billionaire David Koch and actor Jon Voight. Despite the star power, news crews outside the centre at mid-day on Tuesday were asking delegates as many questions about Isaac as about Romney, and the all-news cable channels were consumed with the hurricane despite the presumptive nominee’s arrival in Florida earlier in the day. The hurricane already prompted Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal and Florida Gov. Rick Scott to cancel their planned speeches at the convention. Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley also scrubbed his trip to Tampa.

Isaac promises to test a New Orleans levee system bolstered after the catastrophic failures during Katrina. Officials, while sounding alarm about the dangers of the powerful storm, decided not to call for the mass evacuations like those that preceded Katrina, which packed 135 mph (217 kph) winds in 2005.

Belgian court lets pedophile’s ex-wife, who allowed 2 girls to starve, to go free BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BRUSSELS, Belgium — A woman who let two 8-year-old girls starve in a cellar and helped her pedophile husband carry out horrific abuse of other girls went from prison to a convent Tuesday, outraging Belgians who opposed the early release of one of the country’s most despised criminals. The nation’s highest court approved Michelle Martin’s release after serving 16 years of a 30-year prison term for her role in the mid-1990s kidnappings, rapes and killings by her then-husband, Marc Dutroux. Martin left prison in an unmarked vehicle late Tuesday for a Clarisse convent in Malonne, a 75-kilometre (45-mile) trip south of the capital, where her lawyer said she will seek atonement for her crimes. Over 100 people shouted insults at her as she arrived, some

trying to break through police barriers. “There is only one word for this. This is simply absurd. But I will have to accept it,” said Paul Marchal, whose daughter An, was one of Dutroux’s victims. “Concerning Martin, my fight is over and done. I lost.” Martin’s lawyer, Thierry Moreau, insisted Tuesday that his 52-year-old client deserved a shot at a better life. “”There is something human remaining in Mrs. Martin, even though she acknowledges herself she is responsible for very serious acts,“ Moreau said. ”She paid the price for it. She did it in respect of the law, and now there is this project where she wants to redeem herself and this will be another way to do her sentence.“ The Dutroux case horrified the nation and led to widespread changes in Belgian police procedures. Police had visited the home

twice in the mid-1990s and didn’t find the kidnapped girls, although they heard voices, and ignored a letter from Dutroux’s mother that expressed concern her son was abusing young girls. Dutroux, an unemployed electrician and convicted pedophile on parole at the time of the crimes, was arrested in 1996 and convicted eight years later of abducting, imprisoning and raping six girls between the summers of 1995 and 1996. He was also found guilty of murdering two of the six girls, who ranged in age from 8 to 19 years old. The last two of Dutroux’s kidnap victims were found alive in his basement a few days after his arrest. Martin was accused of conspiracy in the kidnappings and imprisonment leading to the deaths of the two starved girls, who were held in a secret dungeon specially built in a cellar.

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MAFRAQ, Jordan — In an isolated stretch of Jordanian desert, a heavily guarded, secret compound houses 1,200 senior police and army officers who defected from nearby Syria. The men live in trailers with fans but no air conditioning, surrounded by barbed wire, and they pass their days browsing the Internet and watching TV for news of Syria’s civil war, longing to join the fight — but they are largely unable to leave. The Jordanian military runs the camp near a site formerly used by the U.S. to train some its forces for the war in Iraq, and the defectors are debriefed by intelligence agents. Access to them is tightly restricted for their own protection. They are even separated from their families, who live outside the camp near the northern border city of Mafraq but can get special police permits to visit. The defectors in the camp are allowed to communicate with the rebel Free Syrian Army in Jordan and abroad, both in person and through telephone and Internet communications, but do not have what is considered valuable intelligence, according to Jordanian security officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not allowed to make press statements. The facility is a sign of Jordan’s growing role as a quiet supporter of Syria’s opposition. But at the same time, Jordan wants to avoid aggravating tensions with its more powerful northern neighbour, fearing that President Bashar Assad may remain in power. There are more than 160,000 Syrian refugees in Jordan, and their number is increasing by the thousands every day. About 8,000 live in a newly set up camp on the border, while the rest are scattered across Jordan. Maintaining control over the refugees poses a security threat to the small, tightly controlled kingdom. Jordanian security officials and refugees have said there were pro-Assad “sleeper cells” in Jordan that could act against the refugees. Jordan has rejected several requests by the Assad government for

the extradition of the defectors and has allowed entry to hundreds of Syrian rebels who move freely around the country. It also has helped the refugees by giving them medical treatment. It is not clear if former Syrian Prime Minister Riad Hijab, the most prominent defector to flee to Jordan, is housed in the desert facility or one elsewhere. Hijab fled under a plan coordinated between the Amman government and the Free Syrian Army. The Associated Press asked to visit the desert facility but was denied access. However, the AP spoke to two of the camp residents who described the conditions there. Khaldoun, a 47-year-old former Syrian army brigadier, said there were dozens of trailers housing up to seven men each, with fans stirring the desert air. Armed Jordanian soldiers guard the compound around the clock, he said. The men spend their days exercising and playing backgammon and chess, and the Jordanians provide them with access to the Internet, TVs, cellphones and computers, said Khaldoun, who insisted on being identified by his first name only, citing concern for the safety of relatives in Syria. “It’s good to be here, away from the tension and war, but this is not what I had hoped for,” he told the AP. “I wanted to be part of the rebel movement fighting to liberate Syria,” Khaldoun added. He said he spends most of his day watching TV, exchanging gossip, or browsing the Internet for news on the violence back home. “It’s difficult to watch the war in Syria on TV and the Internet and not be part of it,” he added. Khaldoun defected to Jordan in January at the height of the Assad regime’s crackdown on his hometown, the central city of Homs, which became the hub of the uprising that began in March 2011. Hailing from a prominent Sunni Muslim family, he served in the 7th Armored Division for 23 years until his escape. The security defectors range in rank from corporal to general — but they said their access to state and military information was limited because as Sunnis they were kept in the dark by the inner circle of the ruling Alawite minority — a Shiite Muslim offshoot — that surrounds Assad.
