TOUGHER IMPAIRED DRIVING LAW KICKS IN

Wider net for drunks cast Photo by CYNTHIA RADFORD/Advocate staff

Keelboat sailors ply the waters of Sylvan Lake on the weekend. The Sylvan Lake Sailing Club hosted the 2012 CYA Women’s Keelboat National Sailing Championship at the Marina Bay in Sylvan Lake. Eleven teams of four women each sailed Martin 242 boats for a chance to take home a trophy.

Camaraderie amid the waves The Chicks Ahoy team battled with the winds, but the weather didn’t keep their spirits down. The foursome — Gail Surkan, Cheryl Murdock, Nancy Smith and Linda Boyd — from the Sylvan Lake Sailing Club encountered some challenges on the water while participating in a weekend competition at Sylvan Lake. “The winds aren’t normally what we are used to, but I think we really grew as a team,” said Boyd after finishing Sunday’s race with her sailing cohorts. “We had a huge personal growth experience.” At one point, Murdock toppled overboard after the sailboat got knocked by a 28-knot breeze. The crew had to cut the lines

to retrieve the spinnaker, a special type of sail designed specifically for sailing off the wind, that had fallen into the water. They were only about 90 metres away from the finish line when this happened. So they abandoned that race. “I think we like sailing because it gives us a chance to be out together,” said Boyd, whose group has been together eight to 10 years. “It’s tremendous camaraderie,” added Surkan. They were participating in the 2012 CYA Women’s National Keelboat Championships that ran from Thursday to Sunday. This was the first time the championships were held in the Prairies and at Sylvan Lake. A total of 11 teams of female sailors participated. The Chips Ahoy team were glad

to be around the women from the B.C. coast, who sail so much more and are used to the winds. “This was the worst year for our sailing club because the waters were either dead or they were so over the top with threatening weather conditions,” said Surkan about their Wednesday sailing nights. Smith said they felt so safe because of the amazing crew of volunteers who were out on the water, plus those who were helping out at the clubhouse. Rick Howard, one of the head organizers, said the teams came from as far away as Ottawa and Victoria. The teams each use a Martin 242, a 7.2-metre high (24-foot high) performance sailboat. Over a twoday period, nine races were held.

A new impaired driving law targeting a wider range of Alberta drivers is being lauded by the Crown prosecutor’s office and Red Deer city RCMP. But a Red Deer criminal lawyer expects the new law will be challenged. On Saturday, tougher penalties were implemented for drivers who have blood alcohol levels of .05 to .08. Police have the ability to issue a three-day licence suspension and a three-day vehicle seizure on first offence. The penalties increase with additional offences. Chief Crown prosecutor Anders Quist said he believes the law is just because it curbs people from taking the chance to drink and drive. Someone with a blood alcohol level of .05 to .08 used to get a driving suspension for 24 hours, but now it’s three days with that first violation. “They used to get a bit of a warning and now they’re getting a more serious warning,” said Quist. “Hopefully, that will prevent them from getting cocky and pushing it further.” More vehicles will likely be towed and impounded as a result of the new impaired driving law. Sgt. Bob Bell from the traffic unit at Red Deer city RCMP said the new law that includes targeting .05 drivers will reduce collisions and calls for emergency medical responders to attend those crashes.

Couple ties the knot under grandpa’s big rig 31.5-METRE TALL DERRICK ON THE WEST SIDE OF HWY 2, JUST SOUTH OF THE BLACKFALDS OVERPASS BY LAURA TESTER ADVOCATE STAFF Dana McMurray wanted her big wedding day to include a much bigger symbol of her beloved grandfather. She thought it would be great to get married in front of the 31.5-metre tall derrick that can be easily seen on the west side of Hwy 2, just south of the Blackfalds overpass. On Saturday, the 28-year-old Blackfalds woman became Mrs. Johnson when she wed Dennis Johnson, 38, in front of 130 guests. As raindrops started to fall and the winds picked up, the couple ended up getting married inside the decorated quonset hut where the reception was to be held. The blissful couple then rode in a 1961 Chrysler to the hill where the non-working rig stands. The small rain shower stopped by then as the newly wedded couple and their wedding party had photos taken. Dana said she knew she wanted to get married on the property where the

PLEASE RECYCLE

rig stood because she was remembering her grandfather, Bob McMurray, who died of cancer in August 2010. “I remember everything about him,” said Dana, then wiping tears from her eyes. The property was where her grandparents had lived as she grew up, so she was there a lot. More than 30 years ago, McMurray, founder of Twin Rock Holdings in Blackfalds, erected his first oil derrick next to his home above the Blindman River. The first derrick smashed to smithereens in 1993, while Bob was working with it. Bob’s son, Punk, had been standing on the floor with his small children, including Dana, at the time. “The base had been homemade...we had each of the legs welded. ” recalled Punk, one of Bob’s five sons. “We were sitting on the floor.” Bob gave the rig’s controls a bounce to see how strong it was.

PSAC PROTEST

Plane carrying anti-Harper banner ordered to land BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA, Ont. — One of Canada’s largest unions is crying foul over the RCMP’s decision to order a unionchartered plane flying over Ottawa to land, accusing the Mounties of doing so for political reasons. The Public Service Alliance of Canada says the plane was carrying a Frenchlanguage banner on Saturday that translates into “Stephen Harper hates us.” An RCMP spokeswoman said in an email that the plane appeared to be flying within restricted airspace over Parliament Hill so the Mounties requested it land. “The RCMP is mandated with the security on the grounds of Parliament Hill and the RCMP takes all threats seriously,” said Cpl. Lucy Shorey. The RCMP questioned the pilot and determined there was no security threat and considers the matter closed, Shorey said. Larry Rousseau, regional

executive vice-president for PSAC in the national capital region, says the bottom line for the union is that the plane had to land sooner than it had planned. “The message stopped being apparent to the public,” Rousseau said in an interview Monday night. The plane had been towing the banner over Montreal and other communities in Quebec recently, something the RCMP could have easily checked out, Rousseau said A union news release indicates the pilot was aware of airspace restrictions in place in Ottawa and says Nav-Canada has confirmed the plane did not venture into the restricted zone. “I have to exclude the national security reasons,” said Rousseau. The union has been waging a public relations battle with the Harper government over its plans to slash thousands of public sector jobs and has received a favourable response from its members over its airborne campaign, Rousseau said.

STORIES FROM A1

RIG: Gets decorated at Christmas “This leg tore up and swung around, and the whole thing went over,” said Punk. This derrick, also about 31.5 metres tall, came toppling down and the family had to scramble to get away. Punk’s brother Mark said the second derrick was bought for $800 and then sold for $240,000. The much taller rig was in working condition when it was sold to a company in the southern United States. The present rig is decorated at Christmas time, including a big star that gets placed at the top. Mark said his father wanted to erect these derricks because they were a symbol of his life in the oil patch. Years later, Bob’s granddaughter Dana went to work in the oil and gas industry herself. It was this decision that led her to her now husband Dennis, who she met in Fort McMurray. When asked what he thought about his daughter wanting to get married in front of the rig, Punk said with a smile, “the floors would have been cleaner in a hall.” ltester@reddeeradvocate.com

BOATS: Can be tricky to sail Practices and sailing clinics were also held. The competition involves each team sailing around a course. “They set the course, depending on the wind and the location,” said Norma Turner, commodore for the Sylvan Lake Sailing Club. “The length of the race depends on how much wind there is...when you are down wind, you fly the spinnaker, which is the pretty sail with all the

colours. And that’s kind of a tricky sail to sail.” There were no major mishaps, said Turner. “It was challenging out there and the women did a great job,” said Turner. Sailing aficionados Mike Clements, national sailing champion, and Paul Ulibarri, multi-Olympic race officer were on hand. The Sylvan Lake Sailing Club has been around since 1984. ltester@reddeeradvocate.com

POLICE: Crackdown expected “There’s going to be less patients being taken into the (emergency ward at Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre),” said Bell. He added that police will have to spend less time in court, which will free them up to do other calls. Bell recently spent three hours in court dealing with an impaired driving case. Police were expected to crack down on impaired driving through the Labour Day weekend. Some people may be going out for a drink and are now worrying about whether they will come at the .05 level. “I would think that people watched what they had to drink before,” Bell said. “The law shouldn’t have really changed their habits... but hopefully it will make people more accountable or responsible for their actions.” Jenna Falk, food and beverage manager for Cities Gastro Pub in Sylvan Lake, said that it didn’t appear people had changed their drinking habits as of Saturday, when the new .05-.08 legislation kicked in. “{It surprised me} a little bit because I would think that people would be more aware of what they are drinking and the laws that are out there,” Falk said on Sunday. Keith Stebner, owner of Ponoka First Call Towing, expects that more impounding will occur with threeday vehicle seizures, but he’s not sure what else will happen. “I have absolutely no control over it,” he said. “We’ll just have to wait and see what the guys in the yellow stripes (police officers) do.” The new law also set new penalties on July 1 for

drivers with blood alcohol levels of .08. On a first charge, drivers will see their licence suspended until their criminal charge is resolved, plus their vehicle is seized for three days, and they must take a “Planning Ahead” course. As of July 1, any driver with a graduated licence will face an immediate 30-day licence suspension and seven-day vehicle suspension as a result of having any alcohol in their system. Red Deer defence lawyer Kevin Sproule said he believes some aspects of the impaired driving law “are unfair and possibly unconstitutional.” Sproule said the most troubling part of this new impaired driving law involves the automatic driving suspension for drivers charged with .08. “If you can expect to get a trial date in six to eight weeks, that would be one thing,” said Sproule on Friday. “Unfortunately, in most jurisdictions, you are looking of delays of nine months to a year before you get your trial.” Quist said that drivers may want to get rid of their matter sooner, which should lead to fewer adjournments of trials and more guilty pleas probably. “But we won’t know until we get there,” said Quist. Drivers charged with .08 could appeal in the past to the Alberta Transportation Safety Board when given an automatic three-month driving suspension. Sproule isn’t sure if the board will change its thinking now that drivers are given a sustained licence suspension. The government’s decision to give penalties to drivers between .05 and .08 is another contentious item, he said. “Does the Crown have the constitutional authority to delve into what arguably can be viewed as criminal matters?,” said Sproule. “But I would think there’s a stronger likelihood that it’s going to be upheld, versus the one where your licence is suspended until you get to trial. That one seems problematic.” Sproule said that some drivers will feel the pressure to plead guilty because their licences are suspended until they get to trial. The Criminal Trial Lawyers’ Association out of Edmonton, and other criminal trial lawyers, are working together to challenge these amendments, said Sproule. ltester@reddeeradvocate.com

Businesses have a good summer EARLY INDICATIONS ARE THAT 2012 WAS A GOOD YEAR FOR EVENTS, ATTRACTIONS BY LAURA TESTER ADVOCATE STAFF Some Central Alberta tourist-related businesses will see increased revenues following this summer’s bounty of sunny, warm weather. Tourism Red Deer executive director Liz Taylor said that final numbers won’t be tallied up until the end of September, but early indications are this was a good year for events and attractions. “The fairs and the festivals were happy,” Taylor said. “And I think the hotels are doing well.” Tourism Red Deer’s new website was also picking up a lot of “hits” from viewers, she added. The factor that seemed to make for a profitable summer across Alberta was all that nice sunshine. “I think it’s going to end up being a good summer across the board,” Taylor said. “The weather started out a little bit scary.” Ellis Bird Farm closed for the season on Labour Day Monday. Myrna Pearman, site services manager and biologist at the tourist attraction 15 km southeast of Lacombe, estimated that more than 10,000 people visited. About 8,500 people attended in 2011, she said. The weather was a huge factor, but so was increased publicity, she said. The farm received some increased attention south of the Canadian border when PBS Television profiled Ellis Bird Farm on a Northwest Profiles segment. “Word is getting out,” said Pearman. It also appears golfers were smiling on the fairways, too. Rob MacPherson, general manager of the Ponoka Golf Club, said this season was much more favourable than last year. “The only drawback was that some days were too hot,” MacPherson said. “Otherwise it’s been great.” This season was probably the best in four years, he added. Melody Ellerby and her husband Tim have owned Lakeside Go-Karts and Mini-Golf in Sylvan Lake for 11 years. This summer was “a little bit busier” than last summer, she said. “We had tourists from a number of countries and all over Alberta,” said Ellerby.

Jerry Barrett of Innisfail is served the last ice cream cone of the summer season by Samantha Murdoch at the Historic Markerville Creamery Monday. Out in the West Country near Nordegg, David Thompson Resort was experiencing good business as well. It includes a 130-site campground, plus three group sites, cabins and a 46-unit motel. Ron Killick, who has owned the resort for 18 years with his wife Wendy, said it was very wet in May and June. But once the warm temperatures hit in mid-July, the resort has been very busy until now. “We’re going to be about the same as last year for business,” Killick said. He attributes depleted provincial staffing, such

as fish and wildlife officers, for not keeping random camping at bay. This practice of people camping for free is costing his business. He’s frustrated that people can camp anywhere, throwing their garbage and sewage wherever. “The provincial government has to do something about all this random camping,” said Killick. “It doesn’t make sense that we’re paying upwards of $40,000 a year in property taxes when people can go camping in the ditch across the road.” ltester@reddeeradvocate.com

Budget update was ‘exciting way’ to present information: Redford

Time kind to Alberta legislature, but not to contents of time capsule BY THE CANADIAN PRESS The contents of a time capsule that was opened on the 100th birthday of Alberta’s legislature building do not appear to have survived the century as well as the building itself. With Speaker Gene Zwozdesky and Premier Alison Redford standing nearby, children and provincial cabinet ministers reached inside the metal box on Sunday afternoon as a crowd braved wet and windy weather to watch. Item by item, gloved hands gingerly removed several folded, brittle news-

papers that were printed before the capsule was sealed and placed underneath one of the building’s cornerstones in 1909. There was also a Bible, a scroll, a quarter and a penny from the period, and what appeared to be a photograph of the trowel that was used to dig the cornerstone. Zwozdesky noted to the crowd that the Bible was likely too brittle to open and that one of the items seemed to be stuck to another underneath it. The unsealing of the time capsule was part of a day of celebrations marking the anniversary of the legislature, which opened in 1912.

EDMONTON — Alberta Premier Alison Redford is responding to critics who say the province’s recent budget update was lacking in terms of supporting data. Finance Minister Doug Horner announced Thursday that falling oil revenues and a volatile global marketplace could leave taxpayers with a deficit as large as $3 billion dollars this year. Scott Hennig of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation noted the report

contained few numbers that would allow the public to understand how the government arrived at its projections. But Redford told reporters Sunday that the report was an exciting opportunity to change the way the government presents information. Redford also responded to last week’s announcement that her government was cancelling plans for a $122-million police training college. She says police officials told the province in a letter three weeks ago that the facility wasn’t necessary.

Washing away our water We can’t live without water. We need it to stay hydrated and grow food. We use it to generate electricity. Water is in us and all around us. It makes up about 65 per cent of our bodies. Thanks to the hydrologic cycle, it circulates constantly, as liquid, gas, and solid, evaporatDAVID ing from oceans SUZUKI and fresh water, moving through air, raining onto Earth, flowing through plants and animals, into the ground, and back to the oceans through rivers, streams, and sewage outflows. Water covers 70 per cent of the Earth’s surface, but 97.5 per cent is saltwater. Of the 2.5 per cent that’s fresh, 68.7 per cent is locked in the ice and snow of the Arctic, Antarctic, and mountains, leaving about one per cent for our use. More than a billion people lack adequate access to clean water. Just as human activity is upsetting

SCIENCE

Earth’s carbon cycle, our actions are altering the water cycle. Water is our most precious resource, but we waste it, just as we waste other resources, including oil and gas. When we use so much that the system can’t renew itself, we create shortages and drought. When we pollute it, we make matters worse. More than a billion people in the world survive on just five litres a day, less than the amount of a typical North American toilet flush. The average Canadian uses 335 litres a day, more than double the average for similar industrialized countries. In fact, we use more in Canada than in any country except the U.S. As individuals, we can reduce consumption and find ways to use water more efficiently. We also have to look at industrial use. Energy generation, including what’s required to extract fuels, is straining water resources more every day. According to a report on the EcoWatch website, “fracking” is particularly worrisome. This process involves injecting massive amounts of water and chemicals into the ground at high pressure to fracture underground shale and release gas deposits. Each frack can use up to 30-million litres of water, and a well can be

“fracked” as many as 18 times. According to EcoWatch, “The water, usually drawn from natural resources such as lakes and rivers, is unrecoverable once it’s blasted into the earth, and out of the water cycle for good.” With record high temperatures and widespread drought in the U.S., oil and gas drillers and the energy industry have to compete with farmers for scarce water. There, the fastestgrowing use of fresh water is by coal, nuclear, and natural gas power plants, according to a report by the River Network. Our reliance on fossil fuels is also contributing to global warming, making water even more scarce, as glaciers melt, rivers dry up, and droughts become increasingly common. Beyond reducing individual use, one of our top priorities must be to move from fossil fuels to energy that has fewer detrimental effects on water supplies and fewer environmental impacts overall. We can also get creative. A study in the journal Science (referenced in the EcoWatch article), “Taking the ‘Waste’ Out of ‘Wastewater’ for Human Water Security and Ecosystem Sustainability”, concludes that we can employ substitution, regeneration, and reduction to conserve water. Substitution involves using low-

quality water instead of high-quality for many activities, such as sprinkling a garden with collected rainwater rather than drinkable tap water. In Hong Kong, most residents use seawater for toilets. Regeneration means treating low-quality water to make it usable rather than flushing it away. Using a waste-stabilization pond, some households could transform sewage into water for irrigation. Wastewater can also be treated and recycled for large-scale uses. People can reduce usage in many ways, from installing low-flow plumbing to repairing leaks in infrastructure. We can also keep water clean and plentiful by protecting and preserving our valuable natural capital, often for less money! Instead of spending $8 billion for a water-treatment plant, New York City officials spent $1 billion to buy land and protect habitat that filters and stores water. In Canada, we often take water for granted. With increasing pressure on the availability and cleanliness of our water, we have to start paying closer attention to what we do with it.

of Transportation for traffic lights at Hwy 781, 10 long years ago. In 10 years, absolutely nothing has been done to improve the situation; rather it is far worse. In my mind and the minds of many more, there is no doubt that had traffic lights been operating one year ago at Hwy 781, the three people who lost their lives may very well be alive today. Politics is ugly at its best but we are risking people’s lives now and common sense must prevail over ego, arrogance and political aspirations. Dale Mannix Sylvan Lake

There have been at least two major exhibits dealing with aboriginal peoples of the region! Our archeology collections have been featured many times. When the museum added an addition in the early 1980s, many more permanent exhibits were installed, which changed much more often. It would be fun if the museum would go to the dozen or so photographic albums that showed the changes. Photos taken by Peter Marryat and Eric Bundy recorded the many changes the galleries underwent. Wouldn’t it make for a wonderful historical exhibit of our own museum’s changes as it pertains to the upcoming permanent exhibits? What a great way to showcase the museum being a ‘model museum’ of its kind from the late 1970s to what is being developed today? I hope the museum takes this opportunity to celebrate its past history as well. Diana Anderson Former Exhibits Co-ordinator for 30 years Red Deer

although the through lanes on the secondary thoroughfares have been reduced from two to one to accommodate the bike lanes, there are now wellmarked turning lanes that speed up the flow on the through lane, finally. Bicycle lanes are a welcome step in re-directing our city towards a healthier future in so many ways. Not only by encouraging biking and healthier lifestyles but by making less room for cars and speed, hopefully we’ll also be reducing our greenhouse gases, pollution and health problems. I would rather have the city spend a million dollars on this than on trying to encourage the building of another large building downtown or a new subdivision, or the creation of another WHL team here with equivalent tax breaks. This benefits more people of all ages throughout the whole city. Happy biking/scootering all! Pat Marcellus Red Deer

LETTERS TO EDITOR

Sylvan voices must be heard Re: Sylvan Lake town hall meeting Aug. 21: The recent town hall meeting hosted by Kerry Towle, MLA for Sylvan Lake-Innisfail, is the first meeting of this kind to be held in Sylvan Lake in the 70 years I have lived here. Finally we have a voice in the legislature. A luxury Sylvan Lake has never had before. Thank you Kerry. Many of us were amazed and delighted by the huge attendance of people from town and the surrounding rural area. The Red Deer Advocate reported about 300 people attended; actually the numbers were 500 to 600 concerned citizens. Kerry had 500 letters for people to sign; these letters will be delivered to the minister of Transportation, Ric Mclver. There were not enough letters for everyone to sign but we have more now. I believe that well over 100 people from our rural area took the time to attend. They came to voice their dismay and anger along with the local citizens about the way the Department of Transportation has so arrogantly and defiantly responded to this extremely dangerous condition at this intersection on such a busy highway. The complete absence of all town officials who were invited to attend this town hail meeting angered the vast majority of those citizens at the meeting. On an open microphone, many were able to voice their concerns and most worried about who will pay if there is a cost overrun on the Memorial Trail project. They would like to know if traffic lights will be installed at Hwy 20, 50th Street and 60th Street on Memorial Trail. Will traffic lights be installed on Hwy 11 and 60th Street? There has never to my knowledge been any discussion on Memorial Trail with the taxpayers, other than Mayor Samson assuring us that Memorial Trail is a win-win situation for everyone. Many of us do not see this winwin; please enlighten us right away. Getting back to the Hwy 11 and 781 intersection, Towle urged all of us not to give up the fight for changes at this intersection and we were told that the minister of Transportation is having trouble with the idea of lights without support from our council. Our council and mayor need to back the citizens that voted them in and the MLA that represents our area for this to succeed. We need all the letters, phone calls and emails to town officials, Department of Transportation officials, other MLAs in our area, the minister of Transportation and news media. Please take a few minutes to do the above. Our town officials seem to feel the closure of our main access to Sylvan Lake is a dead issue or an issue that is out of their scope. However, their support of their taxpayers’ wishes is in their control so let’s prove them wrong and keep fighting. Thanks again to all the people who are trying to right a wrong. In closing, this letter, I would like to make one final observation: In 2002, the Sylvan Lake Chamber of Commerce lobbied the Department

Museum’s long exhibit past Re: Article on museum fundraising: In the article dated on Aug. 15, there was a comment made that “The former permanent exhibit was around for 30 years before it was taken down a couple of years ago,” which made me realize that it might lead to a misunderstanding of the museum’s history. The first permanent exhibit was developed with consultation with Raymond O. Harrison, a leading museum professional of the day. The rooms were the result; kitchen, dining room, parlour and two smaller rooms. These formed the core of the exhibits; but, rest assured, they changed frequently with the use of many artifacts over the years. The two small rooms went from bedrooms, to doctor’s office, dentist office, child’s room, bathroom and more. The rooms also featured changing exhibits according to the seasons, including every year our special Christmas decorations. The rest of the Donors’s Gallery changed many times and eventually included a school room, mayor’s office, barbershop, general store, etc., and featured changing exhibits in different showcases around the perimeter.

Bike lanes applauded I was delighted to drive down our street last week and see newly painted lines delineating real honest-to-goodness bicycle lanes in Red Deer. My family and I have already been using them. It is wonderful to be able to ride down some of our busier streets and know there is a place for us that will be out of the way of, and respected by, other vehicles. My husband is using them for his mobility scooter and finds them very, very useful. Sure, there’s no guarantee cars won’t cross the lines, but I feel a whole lot safer on these delineated lanes than I ever did without them. As a car owner, I have noticed that

Rally to save CAT I have been a member of Central Alberta Theatre for over 40 years and was saddened to hear that CAT is in trouble financially after all these years of successful entertainment. Talking over Centre Stage, hoping it would help Red Deer’s downtown image, was a difficult and unfortunate decision causing CAT to be so much in debt. We enjoyed the success and popularity of dinner theatre in the Elks and then the Black Knight Inn, where we staged over 100 plays and entertained hundreds of patrons from 1976 until now. It is to be hoped that the patrons and citizens rally round to keep Central Alberta Theatre alive for years to come. Barbara More Red Deer

Bike lane plan counter-intuitive As many previous opinions have stated about the locations and placement of bike lanes throughout the city, I, like many others are quite astounded that sections of busy roadways such as 40th along Eastview Middle School and the full length of 55th Street that directs traffic to three schools, the Memorial Centre and downtown Red Deer are turned into one-lane streets each way. Particularly 55th Street, which now ends on Gaetz at a new commercial centre, and city planners wish to slow and impede the flow of traffic? It seems to be counter-intuitive to Red Deer’s Downtown Revitalization program! What concerns me more, however, is the fact that an individual, niche user group of a few hundred perhaps, creates this much influence within City Hall and not only with our elected officials, but our city planning departments. Especially when this user group requires no financial capital on their part, impedes all other citizens of Red Deer and has illustrated no significant need for such infrastructure. Cannot our highly touted and extensive trail system not suffice to carry bike commuters to the downtown core, where I could envision and agree with the value of bike lanes? I can count on two hands and perhaps one foot over the past 10 years the number of bike commuters I have come across on 55th Street! What City Hall and the Red Deer Biking Community needs to understand that this is not Hollywood and A Field of Dreams’ concept. As a taxpayer, I am not interested in an “if you build it, they will come” scenario, which is what the Red Deer Biking Community is promoting. We will be well over $1 million of taxpayer money spent on this pilot program on streets where I have not seen the dire need and that appears to be not accommodating to a growing community, the school system, residential homeowners, or commercial centres on the north end of downtown Red Deer. Sadly, the bulk of this criticism should be directed to the city planning departments from Craig Curtis all the way down, yet they will remained sheltered within the offices of City Hall. We can vent our frustrations to our elected officials and hope they come back to reality, if not; all we can do is let our voices be heard in the next election. We cannot allow special interest groups with no obligation or commitments on their part to control the decisions of this city and spend our tax dollars! Ryan Morcom Red Deer

Government works to save lives I read with interests the straw man arguments put forward in the editorial Does end justify means? (by Cameron Kennedy, in Red Deer Advocate, Aug. 30). I am compelled to respond. As I have stated on numerous occasions, our government does not condone the use of torture, and certainly does not engage in it. My directive to agencies responsible for the security of Canadians is clear. Their primary responsibility is to protect Canadian life and property, while at all times abiding by Canadian law. If we get a tip from any source that Canadian lives are in danger, we will act to save those lives. It’s clear the NDP would not. Canadians find dithering in the face of making tough choices to save lives entirely unacceptable. That’s why the NDP is in opposition. They simply cannot be trusted on matters of security.

Be mindful of safety around bike lanes The first day of school for elementary, middle and high school students has arrived and I am fearful that not enough information about the new bike lanes has reached the citizens of Red Deer. Do motorists and cyclists know the bylaws around bike lanes? I have personally witnessed both groups making unsafe decisions since the inception of the bike lanes at 39th Street and 40th Avenue, so it is important that everyone equally understand and respect the rules; especially before school starts. The rules are not as simple as a solid line and a dotted line so go to the City of Red Deer website and type in Bike Lane Questions. This will answer some questions and perhaps in the future there will be a more inclusive list. There is also a survey on the website that you could/should contribute to (although it does appear the survey was developed for cyclists as there are 16 questions for cyclists and three for motorists). But I digress — back to the first day of school and where that leaves us. Certainly not the Utopia that John Johnston envisions where kids don’t drop out of high school because they can now ride their bikes to school; rather it leaves us with the possibility of an ‘unacceptable condition occurring.’ That is the comment from the engineer with the City of Red Deer back in early July when I asked about the dangers the bike lanes could/would potentially cause on 39th Street and 40th Avenue with three schools in direct proximity (at that time, I was unaware that the bike lanes were being extended all the way to Lindsay

Bike lanes a step backward Since everybody’s talking about these bike lanes, I thought I’d throw in my two bits. What a complete waste of $800,000 of our tax money. What puzzles me is that this decision for bike lanes couldn’t have been the decision of one person. It would have had to be put before a city planning meeting and passed. I couldn’t imagine that many dim bulbs in one room at the same time. If the intent was to save on pollution and make Red Deer greener, you’ve really missed the mark. I was travelling south on 40th Avenue to turn east onto 39yh Street and it took three lights to get through the intersection. Cars were backed up halfway to Ross Street and school hasn’t even started yet. So in all of this committee’s wisdom, they’ve ultimately degraded our road infrastructure back to the 1970s when we only had 25,000 people. It doesn’t take a genius to foresee what would happen when you put a 100,000 population on single lanes. It costs a lot of money to live in a city with high property taxes, water, electric, garbage costs, etc., and if that wasn’t bad enough, now we have to spend more on gasoline due to all the idling at lights, not to mention the added time to get around the city. All of this for a few cyclists who aren’t in any hurry to get anywhere anyway. If they would, they would take the car. What was wrong with the way it was? I was under the impression that our wonderful bike trail system was for the cyclists to get around town. Why are we trying to fix things that aren’t broken? City infrastructure should be moving forward; in my opinion this was a step backwards. This seems like another one of those situations where the masses have to suffer for the few. Wouldn’t it be nice if we all just rode bikes and were never in a rush to be anywhere, but sadly that is just not the case. In closing, I think I speak for the masses in stating that we deserve and expect better city planning in the future. Jim Martin Red Deer

While I agree with James Strachan’s criticism of the Harper government’s omnibus budget legislation, there is something even more alarming in Blaine Calkins’ fancy mailout. That is the complete lack of concern for, or any very necessary legislation for the protection of our environment. As human beings, our top priority should be to keep our planet Earth able to support human life. To do this, we have to have clean air, clean water, healthy food, sufficient clothing and shelter for all (which incidentally would lower health-care costs). Economic growth of harmful things is a loss, not a profit. We have too many once-safe lakes and rivers where it is no longer safe to eat the fish, drink or even step in the water. Healthy forests absorb large quantities of harmful carbon dioxide. We should all be insisting that our government take the necessary steps to reduce global warming and protect our environment.

Quebec voters prepare to go to polls QUEBEC PRO-INDEPENDENCE PARTY HOPES TO RETURN TO POWER BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — The last time Quebec had a sovereigntist government the invasion of Iraq had just gotten under way and there was a frantic international search for Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction. Now Quebec voters will head to the ballot box Tuesday after 3,416 days of relative quiet on the national-unity front, with indications of that silence being shattered as polls point to the pro-independence Parti Quebecois being restored to power. The final result, however, is far from certain given the potential for three-way vote splits that only compound unknown quantities like late shifts in voter sentiment and the strength of each party’s get-outthe-vote operation. Party leaders made a last pitch to voters on the final day of the campaign Monday, driving home their key messages. Marois continued to press for a majority mandate to rid the province of the scandal-dogged Charest Liberals; demand a transfer in powers from Ottawa; make peace with student protesters; create language and identity laws; and set her party’s sovereigntist agenda in motion. “We don’t want to find ourselves in an election (again) in six months,” she said in Quebec City. Charest argued the opposite: a vote for any party but the Liberals would lead to economic and political instability. The premier has framed this election as a choice between “stability and job creation” and “referendums and the streets,” a reference to the near-daily student protests over tuition increases last spring. However, the student protests have mostly wound down and the issue hardly made news during the campaign. At a sod-turning for Quebec City’s $400 million arena, Charest repeated his claim that a sovereigntist government could jeopardize the city’s chances of bringing back NHL hockey. Quebec City is one of the areas of the province Charest had hoped to dominate but polls suggest he could lose seats to the new Coalition party. He told reporters it was more likely a team would return in “an economy that’s doing well rather than an economy that’s doing poorly.” Coalition Leader Francois Legault, meanwhile, toured the hotly contested ridings north and south of Montreal, hammering away at his message of change. “We will clean up government, we will clean up the bureaucracy,” he said at a news conference,

While the leaders tried to sway voters, the Charest Liberals also filed a complaint Monday with provincial police over allegations of trick phone calls before Quebecers head to vote. The party said it had learned of a series of automated calls falsely made in the party’s name in the Quebec City region. The alleged message was spoken mostly in English in the overwhelmingly francophone region. Other calls were made in Laval, a suburb north of Montreal, by people using an “aggressive tone” and claiming to be representing the Liberals, according to the party. Quebec’s elections office said it would investigate. For Charest, whose party is ranked a close third in the polls, the election could be the end of a storied

Thousands hit the streets in solidarity in Labour Day festivities BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Thousands of people took to the streets in downtown Toronto on Monday to celebrate in annual Labour Day festivities. The theme of this year’s march and rally was “Unite Against Austerity” and brought together members from various unions across the province. Parade organizer John Cartwright said it was important for workers to send the message that they will not accept an austerity agenda from the provincial government. “People are here to express their anger,” said Cartwright, president of the Toronto and York

Region Labour Council. “The politicians are happy to give billions in corporate tax cuts and say to ordinary people, ‘You have to tighten your belts’ while the rich are getting richer everyday.” In the past few weeks, Ontario’s teachers have been in a labour dispute with the provincial government over new legislation that will freeze their wages for at least two years. The Liberals have also warned that other public-sector workers may also face a similar fate. Cartwright said the large turnout was a signal that the labour movement is still going strong in Canada.

28-year-career in provincial and federal politics. As a young Progressive Conservative, Charest was made the youngest cabinet minister in Canadian history. As a champion of federalism, he was recruited to run for the leadership of the Quebec Liberals to take on the PQ and became premier in 2003.

“This is a day about unions and our roles in society,” he said. “It’s the labour movement that have taken poverty wage jobs in manufacturing, construction and elsewhere and turned them into decent jobs where people can raise a family on. “That’s been our historical role in society.” Those taking part in the parade included members of the Ontario Federation of Labour, Canadian Auto Workers, Canadian Union of Public Employees, and federal and provincial New Democrats. Labour day events were also scheduled in several other locations across the country.

New Democrats, Liberals plan for fall sitting BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Shoe, meet the other foot. The coming week will be a study in role reversal as federal New Democrats and Liberals hold simultaneous caucus retreats to plot strategy for the fall sitting of Parliament. After a tumultuous, roller-coaster year, the NDP’s 101 MPs are viewing their meeting in St. John’s, N.L., as a chance to move forward with calm deliberation and, finally, some stability. They aim to cement their claim as the only credible alternative to the Harper government and set an ambitious course for defeating the Conservatives in the next election in 2015. The tiny Liberal caucus, meanwhile, will be meeting at a resort in Montebello, Que., grappling with how to maintain a parliamentary presence while up to a fifth of its 35 MPs plunge into a lengthy, existential leadership contest. A year ago, it was the NDP, reeling from the untimely death of Jack Layton, that was facing an uncertain future. Its most experienced MPs were preparing to launch leadership campaigns, leaving untested novices to hold down the parliamentary fort. Indeed, the party has lurched from crisis to crisis since the May 2011 election: Scrambling to train a raft of inexperienced MPs who never expected to be elected; coping with Layton’s illness and eventual death last summer; enduring a sometimes-bruising, seven-month leadership race; making the transition to the new leadership of Tom Mulcair while simultaneously mounting an aggressive campaign against the Harper government’s massive, omnibus budget bill. This summer has marked the first time in 15 months that New Democrats have had time to take a deep breath and indulge in some long-term planning. And this week’s caucus retreat represents the moment when they’ll “press the reset button,” as one insider puts it. “We’ve really just been hanging onto the side of the boat and trying not to tip over for a year. And now it’s time for (Mulcair) to really grab the wheel ... and set a course.” In the short term, caucus chairman Peter Julian said New Democrats will focus on demonstrating to Canadians they are the “real opposition” to the Harper agenda, pushing back on issues such as raising the retirement age to 67, deep cuts to the environmental assessment process and questions of transparency and ethics in government. Over the longer term, Julian said, the party will move more toward “proposition” — showing Canadi-

LOCAL

ans “what the NDP will do more effectively and what we will do differently and how we will keep the commitments that we make.” As well, he said the long-term plan includes ensuring that MPs “maximize our time so we’re working very effectively and hard in Ottawa but also going right across the country and engaging Canadians in the communities they live in.” They’ll start on that immediately after the threeday caucus retreat, with the 101 New Democrat MPs fanning out across Newfoundland and Labrador to help solidify recent gains in support in the province, which polls suggest is at a record high. The NDP’s newfound stability will undoubtedly make life more difficult for the Liberals, who benefited from the official Opposition’s turmoil. “We’re in a challenging position in the sense that a leadership process is just about to begin,” said Ralph Goodale, the Liberal deputy leader. But he makes the case that Liberals are “in a better position to cope with it than probably the NDP were a year ago, because we have a very strong interim leader.” With parliamentary veteran Bob Rae leading the charge, the three dozen Liberal MPs punched above their weight last fall and winter, often out-shining

the bigger NDP. Liberal support crept up in opinion polls to the mid-twenties, briefly within spitting distance of sagging NDP fortunes. “So while the party is attending to the business of a leadership campaign and then the conclusion of that process next spring, the affairs in the House of Commons will be in very strong hands,” says Goodale. However, NDP support has bounced back since Mulcair took the helm in March, with polls over the summer suggesting the party is now tied with or even slightly ahead of the ruling Tories. The Liberals have slipped to around 22 per cent, only marginally ahead of the historic low 19 per cent of the popular vote they eked out in the disastrous May 2011 election. Into this polarized Conservative-NDP battle, Liberals see Tuesday’s provincial election in Quebec as something of a trump card.

Man swept from yacht, dies STEPHENVILLE, N.L. — The RCMP has released the name of an American man whose body was recovered in the Gulf of St. Lawrence off western Newfoundland. Sixty-nine-year-old Ned Cabot was swept from his 14-metre sailing yacht Cielita in rough seas Saturday in an area about 16 kilometres off Stephenville. Cabot’s body was recovered Sunday by a Cormorant helicopter. A statement released by his family says Cabot practiced as a surgeon in the Boston area for many years and also taught at Harvard Medical School. Following his retirement the avid sailor spent much of his time exploring the waters of the North Atlantic. His family says Cabot was returning from Iceland via Greenland and the Newfoundland and Labrador coas.

OTTAWA, Ont. — A trade commissioner is being assigned to Canada’s planned embassy in Myanmar. Trade Minister Ed Fast says the idea is to help Canadian firms and entrepreneurs who want to explore investment opportunities in the country. Canada restored relations with the Asian country earlier this year and announced it would open an embassy, encouraged by signs of democratic and economic reforms. But Fast, who is wrapping up a trip to Asia, says Canadian firms still need to exercise caution in Myanmar, formally Burma. He notes that some of the promised reforms have not yet been completed. The minister says Canadian businesses can take advantage of a demand in Myanmar and neighbouring countries for financial services, telecommunications systems and assistance with food processing.

Classic clash in Calgary STAMPEDERS TAKE LABOUR DAY TILT ON LAST MINUTE TOUCHDOWN BY LARRY TAYLOR DION PHANEUF

PHANEUF AND CUTHBERT GET ENGAGED TORONTO — Calgaryborn actress Elisha Cuthbert and Toronto Maple Leafs captain Dion Phaneuf plan to tie the knot. People Magazine reports the Edmonton native popped the question over the weekend to his longtime girlfriend and sources tell the magazine she said yes. The actress currently stars as Alex Kerkovich on ABC’s Happy Endings and is also known for having played Kim Bauer on 24. Phaneuf is 27 and a defenceman who played for the Calgary Flames for four and a half seasons before joining the Maple Leafs in early 2010. He also played his junior career with the Red Deer Rebels. Cuthbert and Phaneuf began dating in 2008. The couple announced the engagement during a dinner with family and friends at the New Glasgow Lobster Supper restaurant in P.E.I. The resaurant posted about the engagement on their Facebook wall, Sunday.

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Stampeders 31 Eskimos 30 CALGARY — After throwing a costly interception in the fourth quarter, quarterback Kevin Glenn received some helpful words of encouragement from his teammates. Glenn returned to the field and led his Stampeders on a five-play, 51-yard drive that culminated in his game-winning touchdown pass to Larry Taylor as Calgary held on for a wild 3130 win over the Edmonton Eskimos in the annual Labour Day clash between the rivals. “Larry ran the perfect route,” said Glenn, who completed 23of-30 passes for 273 yards to go with two touchdowns and two interceptions. “He was wide open and all I had to do was give him the ball.” The Stampeders (5-4) offence scored the winning TD with 63 seconds remaining to edge out Edmonton (5-4). “You could see it in the guy’s eyes after that pick when they came to the sidelines that they still had faith,” said the Stampeders quaterback. “They still had faith to say ‘Hey we’re going to win this game,’ and that’s big. That’s big when you get in a situation like that and still know that guys have got your back.” Photo by THE CANADIAN PRESS

Hamilton Tiger-Cats quarterback Henry Burris is sacked by Toronto Argonauts linebacker Marcus Ball (6) and defensive lineman David Lee (91) during CFL Labour Day action in Hamilton, Ontario on Monday.

Argonauts 33 Tiger-Cats 30 HAMILTON, Ont. — Chad Owens was there when the Toronto Argonauts needed him the most Monday. The speedy receiver amassed a clubrecord 402 combined yards to help Toronto rally for a thrilling 33-30 win over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in its final Labour Day showdown at Ivor Wynne Stadium. Owens had two clutch receptions for 29 yards — including a sparkling one-handed, 18-yard grab — on the Argos’ final possession with a stiff wind that kept the fateful 51-yard, seven-play drive alive and allowed Swayze Waters to boot the winning 33-yard field goal with 26 seconds remaining. The late-game heroics were also sweet redemption for Owens, who fumbled twice in the contest, losing one. “It’s something I have to be cognizant of and maybe sometimes stop trying to fight for those extra yards,” Owens said of the fumbles. “I told Ricky (Argos quarterback Ricky Ray) I appreciate him trusting me and going to me in certain situations and trusting that I’ll make the play.” And no play was bigger than Owens’s key one-handed grab before a sun-drenched sellout gathering of 31,032 at Ivor Wynne, which will be demolished at season’s end and replaced with a new facility that the Ticats will call home in 2014. “It was behind me,” he said. “This is about as long as I can give him (stretching arm out fully) and it hit my hand and I held on to it.”

Wallin likes what he sees from prospects BY GREG MEACHEM ADVOCATE SPORTS EDITOR

RED DEER REBELS

A win is a bonus during the Western Hockey League exhibition season, which consists mostly of a series of games showcasing players who are either on the cusp of breaking into the league or are at least another year away. The Red Deer Rebels didn’t cash in any bonus points during the weekend, but head coach Jesse Wallin got a nice read on a number of prospects. Despite falling 6-3 to the Prince George Cougars and 5-3 to the Edmonton Oil Kings in the latter club’s preseason tournament Saturday and Sunday at St. Albert, Wallin liked what he saw from his fresh-faced charges, most of whom will be playing at the midget level this winter. “In both games we basically played all of our younger kids, filling out some spots with returning guys,” said Wallin, who dressed only five returnees versus Edmonton and two against Prince George. “We wanted to let our kids get their feet wet, get them into games and get that experience,” continued Wallin. “That’s what we did and I thought they handled themselves very well overall.” At no time did Wallin consider inserting the likes of 20-year-old forwards Turner Elson, Charles Inglis and Adam Kambeitz. Returning forwards Joel Hamilton, Colten Mayor and Tyson Ness also sat out both games and veteran defencemen Mathew

Dumba, Kayle Doetzel and Stephen Hak never played. No. 1 netminder Patrik Bartosak was also parked for the weekend. “It was more or less experience for the younger guys. Some of the guys are competing for spots and those guys obviously have to show well,” said Wallin. “For the 15-yearolds, it was strictly experience, part of the development process . . . getting them out there playing against some veteran players.” One day after being trounced 8-2 by the Swift Current Broncos, the Oil Kings dressed 12 returning players against the Rebels, who had five veterans in their lineup. “Edmonton had quite a few veterans dressed and our kids got to play against some pretty good players at this level and they held their own,” said Wallin. “Early on, a lot of guys looked a bit overwhelmed and were kind of playing in awe. “We gave up two early goals, but once we got our first goal we kind of settled down a bit and played pretty well from there.” The Oil Kings jumped out to a 2-0 lead on goals from Brett Pollock and Brandon Baddock, before Conner Bleackley and Trace Elson countered for the Rebels before the first period was over. From there, mainstays T.J. Foster and Michael St. Croix scored second-period markers for Edmonton. Rebels returnee Marc McCoy cut the deficit to 4-3 at 14:26 of

the third period, but Brandon Ralph sealed the deal with an empty-net tally in the final minute. Wallin wasn’t impressed with the first two goals surrendered by Rebels netminder Bolton Pouliot, but liked the composure he displayed the rest of the way. “Bolton didn’t allow the first two goals to rattle him. He stood tall from there and gave us a chance to get back into it,” said Wallin of Pouliot, who finished with 34 saves as the Rebels were outshot 39-21. Wallin was impressed with 15-year-old forwards Grayson Pawlenchuk and Meyer Nell, who for some reason — only Oil Kings coach Derek Laxdal would know for sure — were continually matched up against Foster, 20, and 19-year-old NHL draft pick St. Croix. “Considering who they played against, Pawlenchuk and Nell had some pretty good shifts in the third period,” said the Rebels bench boss who liked his club’s compete level in both games, although rookie netminder Grant Naherniak struggled somewhat against the Cougars while stopping 17 of 23 shots. “Grant didn’t have his best night, but again it was an experience for him and he’ll get better moving forward,” said Wallin, who praised Bleackley for his weekend play as well as fellow rookie forward Jesse Miller, who scored Saturday’s game-opening goal.

Saunders shuts down Jays BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Orioles 4 Blue Jays 0 TORONTO — Toronto starter J.A. Happ said he tried not to concern him-

self about what pitching counterpart Joe Saunders was doing on the mound. That proved impossible, as Saunders put in a dominating performance. He went five innings without allowing a base runner and surrendered

Toronto Blue Jay Edwin Encarnacion is pushed back by a pitch from Baltimore Orioles closer Jim Johnson during the ninth inning of MLB American League baseball action in Toronto on Monday.

just three hits as the Baltimore Orioles blanked the Blue Jays 4-0 Monday. “You try not to think about it but when you’re out there you kind of know,” Happ said. “You just want to give us the best chance you can but sometimes you try to do a little too much and be a little too fine. But I tried to stay aggressive. Saunders’ perfect game bid ended with two out in the sixth inning when Adeiny Hechavarria singled to centre. By then the Orioles had control of the game. “You try to keep making pitches, you try not to think about it out there,” Saunders said. “I just hung a changeup to the nine-hole hitter.” Saunders (7-11) held the Blue Jays to three hits and two walks in 6 1/3 innings in his second start for the Orioles since they traded right-hander Matt Lindstrom to Arizona for him on Aug. 26. He lost his first start for the Orioles 8-1 to the Chicago White Sox on Aug. 29, allowing 10 hits and seven runs (six earned). “Today he settled in a little bit more,” Orioles catcher Matt Wieters said. “He was definitely in control the whole game and was able to mix in different off-speed pitches.” Saunders’ pitching and two runs batted in by J.J. Hardy gave the Orioles (75-59) their 20th victory their past 28 games. They are second in the American League East and have moved to within one game of the first-place New York Yankees, who lost 4-3 to Tampa Bay. The Blue Jays (60-74) are last in the division. “When I got traded over here they had a great thing going,” Saunders said. “You just want to come over here

and contribute as much as you can. You don’t want to mess it up and get blown up a lot.” Happ (10-11) stayed aggressive enough to strike out nine batters in five-plus innings. He allowed six hits and three runs (two earned) in dropping to 3-2 since joining the Blue Jays from Houston in a July 20 trade. “Their guy threw the ball real well,” Happ said. “I was trying to be pretty selective in the pitches I threw to keep us in the game as best as I could. They chased me out of there quicker than I would have liked.” The Orioles scored a run in the second on a sacrifice bunt by Nate McLouth. It scored Manny Machado who wound up on third after his fly ball down the right-field line eluded a sliding catch attempt by Moises Sierra who lost sight of the ball in the sun. Sierra was charged with an error. Happ allowed four consecutive hits and two runs to open the fifth before striking out the next three batters as the Orioles took a 3-0 lead. Robert Andino led off with a single and scored on a double to left by Nick Markakis. Hardy doubled for another run and stopped at third on a single by Adam Jones. “A long fifth inning, a 36-37 pitch inning, that seemed to take a lot out of him,” Jays manager John Farrell said. “They were able to manufacture a couple of runs but he made a number of key pitches in that inning to prevent a big inning.” Brad Lincoln replaced Happ after Machado led off the sixth with a double. Lew Ford walked and Andino sacrificed the runners to second and third. Markakis walked and Hardy bounced into a double play to end the inning.

Revamped Colts ready to start new era BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS INDIANAPOLIS — Indianapolis is tired of talking about a new era. Players and coaches are ready to finally start showing off that new look. With Sunday’s season opener at Chicago looming, players and coaches returned to practice Monday with a refreshingly new regular season approach. “Electricity is in the air, and guys have a little more bounce in their step,” coach Chuck Pagano said after Monday’s practice. “The attention to detail was better, the meetings were excellent.” It’s a promising start for a team that had been a playoff regular and perennial Super Bowl contender until Peyton Manning got hurt last season. Now, the so-called experts believe Indianapolis will be the league’s worst team for the second straight season, projections the Colts are using as motivation. They proudly point to T-shirts depicting their No. 32 ranking overall and are aware of those one-win predictions even with No. 1 draft pick Andrew Luck calling the plays, but are determined to prove them all wrong. “They’re basing that off last year’s record and last year’s team and that’s in the past,” new defensive end Cory Redding said. The truth is nothing looks the same in 2012. Indy began its reclamation project by releasing the injured, 35-year-old Manning on March 7 to clear the path for Luck, considered the most NFL-ready quarterback to enter the league since Manning in 1998. Two days after Manning’s release, first-time general manager Ryan Grigson cut defensive captains Gary Brackett and Melvin Bullitt, running back Joseph Addai and tight end Dallas Clark in the franchise’s most massive personnel purge in more than a decade. Before March ended, longtime centre Jeff Saturday and emerging receiver Pierre Garcon, both free agents, had signed with new teams, and longtime starting offensive lineman Ryan Diem had retired. So the Colts restocked with a combination of highly touted rookies, cost-effective veterans and unfamiliar faces with something to prove. The moves forced Indy’s players to spend most of the off-season trying to get acclimated with one another. While Luck was busy trying to figure out blitzes and deal with the speed of the pro game, Pagano, a first-time head coach, and Grigson were fine-tuning the roster by signing free agents, making waiver claims and trades. The biggest came last week when Grigson sent two draft picks to Miami for former first-round pick Vontae Davis, Indy’s new starter at left cornerback. Meanwhile, the rookies were doing their own thing. Tight ends Coby Fleener and Dwayne Allen and receivers T.Y. Hilton and LaVon Brazill scrambled to learn the playbook and quickly get in sync with their new quarterback. Sunday’s game will show ev-

BRIEFS Red Deer BMX Club has solid showing at nationals Janice and James Sekora each captured a gold medal at the Canadian BMX championships at Abbotsford, B.C., on Saturday, as did Red Deer clubmate Cody Pratt. Janice Sekora struck gold in the 30-34 female cruiser category, with James Sekora winning a gold medal in the 15-16 male cruiser event and Pratt mining gold in the 13-14 male cruiser division. Meanwhile, Sarah Stahl won silver in the 13-yearold female 20-inch class.

Vellner fourth at water ramp competition LAC BEAUPORT, Que. — Canadian aerialists Sabrina Guerin and Travis Gerrits rebounded from season-ending injuries in style by winning the eighth annual Mondial AcrobatX water ramp competition at the Centre National d’Entraînement Acrobatique Yves LaRoche on Sunday. Jonathan Vellner of Red Deer finished fourth with a score of 60.94 points.

NFL eryone how much progress they’ve made. “We’re there,” Allen said. “We’ve had as much time, even more time, than the guys last year had to get ready. They’re different offences, different playbooks, but they set the bar (in a shortened off-season) and we feel like we have what it takes to play like we’re more prepared.” The newcomers aren’t the only ones trying to catch up. A few longtime veterans still hanging around the Colts’ complex— notably Pro Bowl defensive ends Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis and Pro Bowl receiver Reggie Wayne — are learning new positions, too. Freeney and Mathis are now listed as linebackers in Pagano’s 3-4 hybrid defence, and Wayne, who has been making a living by playing almost exclusively on the left side, is moving all over the field now, too. What hasn’t changed? The veteran speeches. “Oh yeah, you can tell it’s a different week,” Allen said. “A lot of vets who were giving the rookies a couple of reps here or there, they (the veterans) are back in and they’ve definitely relayed the message that this one, it’s for real.” Luck & Co. are still not sure what they’ll be up against in Chicago given that linebacker Brian Urlacher is promising to return a little more than three weeks after having arthroscopic surgery on his left knee. And they can’t be entirely certain who will be on the field with them, either. Pagano said veteran receiver Austin Collie (concussion), left guard Mike McGlynn (sprained left ankle) and defensive end Cory Redding (strained right knee) are expected to play Sunday. All three practiced Monday and should play key roles against the Bears — if they’re healthy. “I’m pretty sure he (Collie) is fresh,” cornerback Jerraud Powers said. “You know Austin, he’s one of the hardest-working guys on this team and he’ll do whatever it takes to get back on the field and be there for us.” Regardless of whether the new-look Colts are all on the same page for the opener. “I can’t wait to see him (Luck) perform again, along with everybody else,” Pagano said. “So I guess I’m excited and anxious just like he is. I think we’re all excited to see him when it really counts.”

Riders end losing streak in a big way ROUGHRIDERS GIVE A NASTY WELCOME TO NEW BLUE BOMBERS HEAD COACH TIM BURKE BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Roughriders 52 Blue Bombers 0 REGINA — Even a new head coach couldn’t help the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. The Saskatchewan Roughriders crushed the Blue Bombers 52-0 on Sunday, dealing Tim Burke a loss in his CFL debut as a head coach. Burke replaced the fired Paul LaPolice last weekend. “I’m not used to getting my ass kicked,” Burke said. “We got down early and the score snowballed.” Saskatchewan took full advantage of the reeling Bombers, ending a five-game losing streak to stay competitive in the CFL West. The Roughriders are now 4-5, but within reach of the third-place Calgary Stampeders in the hotly-contested division. “Our guys are hungry,” said Saskatchewan head coach Corey Chamblin. “They needed this. This is the one we really needed to move on.” Saskatchewan amassed a net offence of 422 yards compared to a meagre 102 for Winnipeg (2-7). “I can’t think of any aspect of the game that we won,” said Burke. Bombers quarterback Joey Elliot thinks his team needs to regroup and refocus. “We have to move on to the game next week,” said Elliott, who completed nine of 19 passes for only 61 yards with one interception. His reliever Alex Brink was also ineffective, completing five of seven passes for 35 yards. “When the wheels fall off, the wheels fall off,” said Elliott. “It’s going to happen. The best thing about it is that we’ve got another game in seven days.” Chamblin, on the other hand, was pleased with his team’s performance in every aspect. “We would win in a couple of phases, each one would take its turn,” said Chamblin. “But today we won in all phases.” Darian Durant threw touchdown passes of 25 and 21 yards to Weston Dressler. He left the game early in the third quarter with what appeared to be a lower-body injury and was replaced by backup quarterback Drew Willy, who fired a 43-yard touchdown pass to Terence Jeffers-Harris. Willy also scored a touchdown himself on a one-yard plunge late in the game. Durant completed 13 of 19 passes for 168 yards, and also carried the ball four times for 38 yards. Ac-

Saskatchewan Roughriders running back Kory Sheets runs the ball past Winnipeg Blue Bombers defensive back Brandon Stewart during the second half action in Regina, Sask., Sunday. The Riders defeated the Bombers 52-0. cording to Chamblin, he was kept out of the game strictly as a precaution. Saskatchewan’s Kory Sheets rushed for 106 yards, including a lengthy 37-yard dash. He also caught two passes for a total of 16 yards. Tyron Brackenridge blocked a Mike Renaud punt and returned it 15 yards for a Saskatchewan touchdown. He also intercepted an Elliott pass and returned it 39 yards to set up a field goal. Sandro DeAngelis converted all four Rider majors and kicked field goals of 50, 29, 46, 30 and 26 yards. Chris Milo added punt singles of 39 and 68 yards.

The Riders led 10-0 after the first quarter, 28-0 at the half and 42-0 after three quarters. Last year Saskatchewan defeated Winnipeg 21-7 in the Labour Day Classic. The Riders have now prevailed in eight straight. The last time the Bombers won it was in 2004. The two teams meet again in Winnipeg next Sunday in the Banjo Bowl. Burke, for one, is hoping for better results. “All I can do is try my best,” he said. “We’ve got to dig down deep and pull out the best performance we can find.”

Ticats’ Williams breaks records with sixth return touchdown THE CANADIAN PRESS HAMILTON, Ont. — Chris Williams wrote his name into the CFL’s record book twice in one play at the Labour Day Classic. The Hamilton Tiger-Cats star took a punt return back 82 yards for a touchdown in the first quarter against the Toronto Argonauts on Monday, his league-record sixth return touchdown of the season. It was Williams’s fifth punt return TD of the season and

marked a CFL-record third straight game that he had taken a punt back for the touchdown. He also has one kick return for a score this season. Williams returned a punt 70 yards last week for a TD in Montreal, and recorded a 71-yard punt return TD a week earlier in Winnipeg. The 24-year-old sophomore is now tied with Henry (Gizmo) Williams’s 1991 record of five punt return TDs. Chris Williams leads the CFL with 11 touchdowns overall. After a 33-30 loss to Toron-

STORIES FROM B1

STAMPS: Be a hero Calgary defensive back Tad Kornegay knew that Glenn had it in him to redeem himself after Edmonton’s Joe Burnett picked off the errant pass and ran it back 34 yards for a touchdown to put the Eskimos up 30-25. “When Kevin went out for that last drive when we were down, I told Kevin, ’Be the hero. This is what we do it for. You made the mistake. You threw a pick. Who cares? We got the ball back. Be a hero.’ And that’s what he did,” Kornegay said. Rookies Bo Levi Mitchell and Matt Walter had rushing touchdowns for the Stampeders, who had lost their previous two home games. Glenn also threw a touchdown pass to Jon Cornish, Rene Paredes kicked a field goal, while Rob Maver booted a single. Filling in for injured starter Steven Jyles, Kerry Joseph plunged into the end zone for a one-yard score at 8:07 of the final quarter. Burnett’s touchdown then gave the Eskimos a short-lived lead. “It was disappointing,” said Joseph, who went 17-of-27 for 311 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. “We came into a hostile environment against a good football team. We fought to the end. They made some plays towards the end. We had a chance to win it at the end but we didn’t. You’ve got to tip your hats to those guys.” Joseph also tossed touchdown passes to Fred Stamps and Hugh Charles in the second quarter, while Grant Shaw kicked three singles. “Calgary did what they needed to do to win the football game,” said Edmonton coach Kavis Reed. “They executed mentally, physically and emotionally and we did not.” On the last play of the game, Shaw attempted a 48-yard field goal into the wind, but the ball sailed wide to the left and Taylor ran it out of the end zone as time expired. “It’s awesome,” said Taylor of making the play to preserve the victory. “You have to give the guys credit up front for holding the guys at the line and giving me the chance to get it out of the end zone.” The same two teams won’t have much time to rest as a rematch is set for Friday at Edmonton’s Commonwealth Stadium. “I love it,” Kornegay said. “We’ll both be sore still, tired ... angry. It’ll be another good game.” The Stampeders appeared poised to score on their opening drive of the game before Edmonton’s Clint Kent recovered a Nik Lewis fumble. Five plays later, Burke Dales was tackled for a loss deep in Edmonton territory after he couldn’t handle a low snap

to, Williams credited his teammates for giving him space to work with. “Those guys out there are blocking tremendously,” he said. “It’s not me, really. Those guys are out there putting hats on hats and getting people out of the way. I’m just trying to run and find holes.” The Argos were up 7-0 midway through the first quarter when Williams caught a 47-yard punt by Swayze Waters back on the Hamilton 28-yard line. A hole opened up in the

from Ryan King cleanly. Calgary then opened the scoring when Mitchell plunged into the end zone for a one-yard touchdown at 8:17 of the first quarter. With the Stampeders threatening to score again in the second quarter, Edmonton’s Rod Williams picked off an errant pass by Glenn and ran for eight yards to give Eskimos the ball back on their own 17-yard line. Joseph then engineered a 10-play, 93-yard drive that culminated in a 35-yard touchdown pass to Stamps. On Edmonton’s next drive, Joseph tossed a 73-yard touchdown pass to Charles, who caught the ball at midfield and broke a tackle before running the rest of the way into the end zone. Although the Eskimos failed to convert the touchdown, Shaw booted an 89-yard single on the ensuing kickoff to give Edmonton a 14-7 lead through two quarters of play. After Shaw kicked a 67-yard punt single to open the scoring in the second half, Cornish caught a 10-yard touchdown pass from Glenn at 7:15 of the third quarter. The Eskimos then had to settle for a 64-yard punt single by Shaw before Glenn led the Stampeders on a sevenplay, 75-yard drive that resulted in an 11-yard touchdown run by Walter to put Calgary up 21-16 after three quarters. “He was moving like a freight train and I don’t think nobody was going to stop him,” said Glenn in regards to Walter’s TD run. It was Walter’s first-ever CFL touchdown. “I just wanted to make it count,” Walter said. “All I wanted to do is do my part and get that thing in the end zone and show the coaches that I can play.” Paredes then kicked a 43-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter before Maver booted an 85-yard punt single to extend Calgary’s lead.

ARGOS: Been in a lot of close games After Waters’ field goal, Hamilton took over at its 35-yard line with 26 seconds remaining but turned the ball over on downs with three straight completions. Hamilton dropped its Labour Day record against Toronto to 29-13-1. The Argos are 4-3-1 in their last eight Labour Day contests at Ivor Wynne but earned their first victory since 2008. The two teams will play again Saturday night at Rogers Centre. Burris dropped to 17-10 in head-tohead matches against Ray (16-9 during season, 1-1 in playoffs). Ray finished 32-of-45 passing for 375 yards with a touchdown while Burris was 13-of-30 for 218 yards with two TDs and two in-

crowd, and he was off. Williams, the league’s outstanding rookie last year, could have had one more return TD on his stats right now if he hadn’t showboated in a July 21 win against Montreal. In that game, he appeared to run back a missed field goal 118 yards in the second quarter. But without an Alouettes defender anywhere near him, Williams turned around inside the 10 and began trotting backwards to the endzone. He was hauled down at the

terceptions. “I’ve been in a lot of close games with Henry in the West and many times watched him go down for the win,” Ray said. “But even after they scored to tie it, I knew we had the wind and if we just got a couple of first downs we’d have a shot to kick a field goal to win the game.” But Owens was a one-man show for Toronto, registering 11 catches for 176 yards and a TD, returning five punts for 90 yards and six kickoffs for 136 yards. The 402 total yards was the third-best performance in CFL history behind former Winnipeg star Alberta Johnson III (474 yards) and Calgary’s Larry Taylor (441 yards versus the Argos this season) and broke the club record of 401 yards set in 1992 by Raghib (Rocket) Ismail. Holding on to the football this season has been an issue for Owens but Argos head coach Scott Milanovich says that’s something the club is willing to live with. “I just have so much faith in Chad,” Milanovich said. “That’s why you don’t get on a guy who is having a tough game. “Chad was as much the reason why we won that game as anybody. We’ll live with his mistakes and try to coach him out of them. He brings a lot to the table for us.” Hamilton rallied to make it 30-30 on Henry Burris’s 10-yard TD strike to Brandon Rutley at 12:40 before finding Dave Stala on the two-point convert. That came after Toronto erased an 11-point deficit by scoring 19 points to start the fourth. After Hamilton conceded a safety early in the quarter, the Argos pulled to within two points on Chad Kackert’s one-yard TD run at 5:46. Just under two minutes later Ahmad Carroll returned a Burris interception 37 yards for a touchdown, and then a 26-yard Swayze field goal gave Toronto (5-4) an eightpoint lead. The fourth-quarter fireworks stole the spotlight from a record-setting achievement by Hamilton’s Chris Williams, who registered his CFL-record sixth return TD of the season. The diminutive receiver ran a punt back 82 yards for the touchdown in the first, his fifth punt return TD of the season (the other came on a missed field goal). It also marked the third straight game Williams has taken a punt back for a score, another CFL record. Williams had three TDs in Hamilton’s 36-27 home win over Toronto, returning a punt and missed field goal for scores in that contest and has scored a league-leading 11 touchdowns this season. He’s challenging Milt Stegall’s single-season TD record of 23, recorded in 2002. Williams also had a 52-yard catch and 63-yard punt return in the second half that set up field goals for Hamilton (3-6), which suffered its fourth straight loss. Williams finished with five punt returns for 158 yards.

one-yard line by Montreal linebacker Brian Ridgeway. He apologized to Montreal head coach Marc Trestman and his own team after the game, vowing it would never happen again. Soon after, Williams teamed up with Hamilton company Fox 40 International in a ‘Play to the Whistle’ promotion in which the company and the player would team up to donate $1,000 to local children’s charities for each touchdown he scored the rest of the season.

“We’ve got to put it together,” he said. “Whatever it is . . . we have to figure it out and we’ve got to figure it out fast.” Burris said the Ticats let a win slip away. “We had the game in hand and we had great opportunities to really put it away,” he said. “We left a lot of points and plays out there on the field. “But you have to give the Argos kudos, they made plays and made it tough on me but we’re a much better team than we showed and definitely this is a game we should’ve won.” Carroll’s timely touchdown was also big for Toronto and came after the Argos’ defensive back was flagged four times for 89 yards in last week’s 27-16 home loss to Edmonton. “It was a tough week for him and our team stuck by him and believed in him and it was great to see that play,” Milanovich said of Carroll. “He’s got that knack, he’s got that ability. “He’s a big-play guy who understands the game. You’re always happy when a guy has a tough week like that makes such a big play.” Not only did the Argos keep Carroll in the starting lineup against Hamilton but lined him up against Williams, the Ticats’ top receiver who finished with just the one catch. “I undercut him and made a play on the ball,” Carroll said of his TD return. “He’s a great receiver and I just appreciate coach Jones (defensive co-ordinator Chris Jones) having faith in me. “We talked about the penalties and the thing about him and our (defensive back coach Orlondo Steinauer) is they treat you like a man. I gave up a big play (52-yard grab) but as soon as I came to the sideline coach Jones said, ’Let’s go. You don’t know what’s going to happen.”’ Onrea Jones had Hamilton’s other touchdown. Luca Congi added a convert and three field goals. Waters finished with three field goals, three converts and a single.

REBELS: 29 players Dexter Bricker also tallied for the Rebels in Saturday’s setback. Tate Olson scored twice for the Cougars, who got singles from Jarrett Fontaine, Brad Morrison, Jake Mykitiuk and Joseph Carvalho, while netminders Brett Zarowny and Ty Edmonds combined to make 19 saves. Forwards Brayden Burke, 15, and defenceman Jake MacLachlan, 16, were reasigned following Saturday’s game, with 15-year-olds Pawlenchuk, Nell, Austin Strand and Adam Musil sent home Monday. The deletions left the Rebels with 29 players heading into the next two preseason games — Friday at Calgary versus the Hitmen and 24 hours later at Innisfail against the Lethbridge Hurricanes. gmeachem@reddeeradvocate.com

Serena Williams dominates at U.S. Open EASES INTO QUARTERFINALS AFTER WIN, CANADIAN RAONIC LOSES TO ANDY MURRAY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Serena Williams returns a shot to Czech Republic’s Andrea Hlavackova in the fourth round of play at the 2012 US Open tennis tournament, Monday, in New York. ing to figure out how to win. And when it was, like, 6-love, 4-love, 30-love, I was thinking, ‘Well, I’m not playing for a score, but one game wouldn’t hurt.”’ Oh, well. Next for the fourth-seeded Williams, who won the U.S. Open in 1999, 2002 and 2008, is a match against former No. 1 Ana Ivanovic, who reached a Grand Slam quarter-final for the first time since winning the 2008 French Open by defeating 55th-ranked Tsvetana Pironkova of Bulgaria 6-0, 6-4. Williams — who lost in the third round of doubles with older sister Venus on Monday night — is 3-0 against Ivanovic, including a straight-set victory in the fourth round at Flushing Meadows last year. Must not have left much of an impression on the American, because when asked what she remembers most about their most recent match, Williams

replied: “Was it here?” Assured that it was, in 2011, Williams said with a smile: “OK. Yeah, I remember, clearly, not a lot, but I will be looking at the film.” In the semifinals, the Williams-Ivanovic winner will meet either No. 10 Sara Errani or No. 20 Roberta Vinci, doubles partners who both eliminated higher-seeded women Monday and now face the uncomfortable prospect of trying to beat a best buddy. “Our friendship won’t change, no matter what, no matter who wins,” said Vinci, noting that she expects they’ll have dinner together, as usual, Monday and Tuesday. “It definitely won’t be an easy match from a mental perspective. We know each other well. We practice together often. We play doubles together. We know everything about each other.” Errani and Vinci teamed up

to win the French Open doubles championship in June, and now one of them is going to be the first woman from Italy to play in the U.S. Open semifinals since the professional era began in 1968. Errani, the runner-up to Maria Sharapova at the French Open, got past No. 6 Angelique Kerber of Germany 7-6 (5), 6-3. Reaching her first singles quarter-final in 32 career Grand Slam tournaments, Vinci stunned No. 2 Agnieszka Radwanska 6-1, 6-4. “I really had the worst day,” said Radwanska, who could have moved up to No. 1 in the WTA rankings by reaching next weekend’s final. “She really mixes it up — a lot of slice, then suddenly hitting very well from the forehand side, then kick serve, drop shots, volleys as well, coming to the net. It’s really tough because she really had an answer for everything.”

Canada adds two bronze medals INCREASES TOTAL TO 13 MEDALS AFTER SIX DAYS, MEN’S AND WOMEN’S WHEELCHAIR BASKETBALL TEAMS GOING TO QUARTER-FINALS THE CANADIAN PRESS LONDON — Canada added two more bronze medals to its total Monday at the London Paralympics. Norbert Murphy of Vaudreuil-Dorion, Que., won bronze in the men’s individual compound sitting archery competition. Murphy beat Finland’s Osmo Kinnunen 7-1 in the bronze-medal match. Jeff Fabry of the United States defeated David Drahoninsky of the Czech Republic 6-2 to win gold. Later, Ottawa’s Jason Dunkerley and guide Josh Karanja won bronze in the men’s visually impaired T11 1,500 metres in a time of four minutes 7.56 seconds. It’s Dunkerley’s fourth straight medal in the event. “I was tightening up around the last 100 metres and Josh kept telling me they’re coming, we were able to stay ahead of them at the line,” Dunkerley said. Kenya’s Samwel Musahi Kimani and guide James Boit won gold in a world-record time of 3:58.37. Brazil’s Santos Osair was second in 4:03.66. Canada increased its medal total to 13 (three

PARALYMPICS gold, seven silver, three bronze) after six days of competition. Canada sits 12th in the overall medal count and 18th in the gold-medal table. In the women’s T54 classification wheelchair 400-metres, Diane Roy of Sherbrooke, Que., placed fifth in a time of 56.60 seconds. “It was a tough race, again today the top speed just wasn’t there,” she said. “Sometimes when you want it so bad you aren’t able to relax and that’s what happened today.” Brent Lakatos of Dorval, Que., placed fifth in the men’s T53 wheelchair 100-metres final in a time of 15.31 seconds. Canada continued to look strong in wheelchair basketball, with the men’s and women’s teams both winning their final preliminary round games and moving on to the quarter-finals. The men cruised to a 68-42 win over Colombia to finish the preliminary round with a perfect 5-0 record. Patrick Anderson of Fergus, Ont., played in just the opening quarter against Colombia and added 13 points to his tournament-leading 133

points. He is averaging 26.6 points per game. Dave Durepos of Fredericton was the game’s top scorer with 18 points. Winnipeg’s Joey Johnson had a team-high six rebounds, while Bo Hedges of Wonowon, B.C., added 10 points and six assists. “It felt good out there, and my teammates found me. That’s what happens in a good team — they look for the open man and they found me today,” Durepos said. In women’s action, Katie Harnock of Elmira, Ont., had 20 points and six rebounds as Canada beat host Great Britain 67-50. Canada finished the preliminary round 3-1. Cindy Ouellet of Quebec City added 18 points, eight rebounds, and eight assists in her bestever Paralympic performance. Janet McLachlan of Vancouver had a game-high 15 rebounds. “I think it shows our depth and our strength that when we do get everyone involved and we do stick to our plan we are a very successful team,” Hancock said. “We have a lot of people that can pour in points and today was another good example of that.”

TEMPE, Ariz. — Kevin Kolb was back at practice on Monday, no longer competing for the starting job for the Arizona Cardinals but as a backup NFL quarterback once again. The team’s workout was its first since coach Ken Whisenhunt announced Friday that John Skelton would be the starter for Sunday’s regular-season opener against Seattle. “It’s disappointing, that’s obvious,” Kolb said after practice. “But if there’s one thing I learned in this league is it’s full of surprises, so you just keep pressing forward. If you take time to sulk or feel sorry for yourself, you’re going to get left behind and then your opportunity’s going to pass you by.” Just before last season, the Cardinals traded cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and a second-round draft pick to Philadelphia to get Kolb, then signed the quarterback to a five-year $63 million contract extension, $21 million guaranteed. On March 16, Kolb got a $7 million payment for still being on the Cardinals roster. Kolb arrived with fans and those within the organization believing they had the franchise quarterback Arizona had lacked since Kurt Warner’s retirement following the 2009 season. But Arizona got off to a 1-6 start, and Kolb was sidelined with a turf toe injury. While not spectacular, Kolb’s replacement Skelton did enough for his team to pull off some close victories. Kolb returned and engineered a win over Dallas, but on the first series of the next game against San Francisco, he took a knee to the head for a season-ending concussion. After the Cardinals won seven of their last nine to finish 8-8, Whisenhunt declared an open competition between Skelton and Kolb.

Team doctors say Mainguy injured herself in a fall while training. “She suffered a concussion and collar bone fracture,” team doctor Susan Labrecque said in a release. “The collar bone fracture prevents her from moving her left arm, therefore she can’t hold her handlebar securely.” The time trials for all para-cycling events are scheduled for Tuesday. “Receiving the news about my withdrawing was like a slap in the face,” Mainguy said in a statement. “I did not want to believe it, I wanted to keep training.

NEW YORK — Didn’t take long for Serena Williams to show her fourth-round opponent at the U.S. Open where things were headed. “The first point of the whole match,” 82nd-ranked Andrea Hlavackova explained, “when I served, and she returned, like, a 100-mph forehand return, I was like, ‘OK, I know who I’m playing. You don’t have to prove it to me. I know.”’ Monday’s match was less than 15 seconds old. It might as well have been over. Dominant from the moment she ripped that return of an 88 mph second serve, forcing Hlavackova into an out-of-control backhand that sailed well long, to the moment she powered a 116 mph service winner on the last point, Williams extended her 2 ½-month stretch of excellence with a 6-0, 6-0 victory to get to the quarterfinals at Flushing Meadows. Those two big zeros pretty much tell the story; it’s the fifth time in her career Williams won with what’s commonly called a “double bagel.” Some other impressive numbers: Williams won 60 of 89 points, built a 31-9 edge in winners and improved to 23-1 since losing in the first round of the French Open. That run includes singles and doubles titles at both Wimbledon and the London Olympics. Hlavackova knows this act all too well: She and Lucie Hradecka were the doubles runners-up at both of those events. Not that those 2-on-2 encounters helped prepare for the 1-on-1 match in Arthur Ashe Stadium on Monday. “Singles is completely different,” said Hlavackova, who chose the phrase “What can you do”? more than once when analyzing what it’s like to face 14-time major champion Williams. “My coach warned me to not go on the court and play for a score,” Hlavackova said, by which she meant just trying to keep it as close as possible. “I was in the match. I was try-

Radwanska could sympathize with Hlavackova’s plight, having lost to Williams in the Wimbledon final. “When she’s on fire, you can’t do anything about it. It doesn’t matter what you try to do, it’s going to be a winner,” Radwanska said. “It’s just Serena. She’s a great champion.” So is No. 1-seeded Roger Federer, of course, owner of a record 17 Grand Slam titles, including five at the U.S. Open. As he attempts to add to those numbers, Federer got some extra rest Monday, because his fourth-round opponent, 23rd-seeded Mardy Fish of the United States, withdrew hours before their scheduled match for precautionary reasons, citing medical advice. The man Federer beat in July’s Wimbledon final and lost to in August’s Olympic final, Andy Murray, muted 15thseeded Milos Raonic’s big serve and won 6-4, 6-4, 6-2 Monday night to reach an eighth consecutive major quarterfinal. “It was a tough match, he was just too good,” said Raonic, from Thornhill, Ont. “I was never comfortable and he played extremely well. This was a big loss, I really gave everything out there and I’ve never felt such a defeat.” Raonic was trying to become the first Canadian man in a Grand Slam quarter-final in the Open era, which began in 1968. Canadian women remain the only players to have gone to the last eight in a Grand Slam, most recently through Patricia Hy-Boulais at the 1992 U.S. Open. No. 3 Murray will play No. 12 Marin Cilic of Croatia, who put together a 7-5, 6-4, 6-0 victory over 50th-ranked Martin Klizan of Slovakia, the last left-hander and unseeded man remaining. Murray has won 6 of 7 matches against Cilic over their careers, but the lone loss came at the U.S. Open in 2009. The 30-year-old Fish missed about 2 ½ months this season because of an accelerated heartbeat and had a medical procedure in May.

McIlroy gets third win on PGA Tour BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Photo by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Rory McIlroy, of Northern Ireland, holds the trophy after winning the Deutsche Bank Championship PGA golf tournament at TPC Boston in Norton, Mass., Monday. until a two-putt birdie on the par-5 18th gave him a 66. He finished in third place, two shots behind, and earned enough money to become the first player to surpass $100 million in PGA Tour earnings. Woods attributed that to higher purses, though he’s responsible for those. “I think we got some interest in the game of golf,” Woods said. “A lot more youth, that’s for sure.” One of those kids — McIlroy — keeps winning. The Honda Classic in March. The record eight-shot win in the PGA Championship. And now a FedEx Cup playoff event in Boston. “Three is a great number,” McIlroy said. “I’d like to make it four — or five — after the FedEx Cup.” Phil Mickelson also had a 66 and tied for fourth, along with Dustin Johnson, who had a 70 and likely played his way onto the Ryder Cup team. Brandt Snedeker made a strong case for a captain’s pick with a 65-67 weekend to finish sixth. Davis Love III will announce his four picks Tuesday morning in New York. McIlroy had a three-shot lead with six holes to play, and only a clutch bogey putt on the 17th hole kept him from losing all of his lead. Oosthuizen, who had to cope with pain in his right shoulder earlier in the round, came back with two birdies on the back to get within one shot. McIlroy hit a chip over the 17th green into more rough, and it looked as if he would struggle to make bogey. Oosthuizen, however, missed the green from 140 yards in the fairway, chipped poorly to 10 feet and missed his par putt, and McIlroy calmly sank his

drill was to pair off and we would use our newly learned skills to teach each other. My partner and I went into the greenside bunker. He was teaching me to hit better shots out of the bunker. Keep in mind that the range was extremely busy and the only thought I had in my mind was if I hit a bad shot I might kill someone. Bad thought. After receiving my instruction I started to hit some bunker shots. The first one did not get out of the bunker. The next two were somewhat better, but the whole time my mind was thinking about all of those people on the range. Well, as a result of where my mind was, the next shot I hit was a skull. That sucker came out of the bunker traveling at mach 10. I looked up to see where the ball was heading and to my amazement Moe was about 40 yards away talking to a group. I had just enough time to yell “look out” when the ball cracked him in the shoulder. I could not dig a deep enough hole in that sand trap to crawl into. Totally embarrassed. This is how I nearly became a famous Canadian — by nearly killing Moe Norman. A short while later I finally got enough courage to apologize to Moe. This is when he brought to my attention how important the mental side of the game of golf is. He told me that golf is 89 per cent mental. Therefore the physical side of the game is only 11 per cent. We as golfers tend to educate ourselves on only 11 per cent of what golf is all about. This educational experience is no different than what most golfers experience on the golf course. Most of us cannot take our “A” game to the course because we are not confident. A lack of confidence on the golf course is best described as the inability to see your target, therefore all you see is the trouble areas (trees, water, bunkers etc . . .). If you see trouble instead of the target on the golf course, your golf swing becomes inhibited to a point that it does not swing in sequence and the ball tends to head in the direction of trouble. The end result is frustration. Have fun, stay focused and see the target rather than the trouble. Doing so will allow you to hit much more consistent golf shots, ultimately lowering your scores.

5-foot bogey putt to stay one shot ahead. “The 17th hole cost me,” Oosthuizen said. McIlroy finished 20-under 264. It was the second time this year that Oosthuizen, who won the British Open by seven shots at St. Andrews two years ago, failed to win after leading going into the final round. McIlroy made an early charge with three straight birdies, but the turning point came on the fifth hole when Oosthuizen felt pain in his shoulder on a tee shot that sailed into the trees and led to double bogey. The pain went away on the back, which the South African attributed to an adrenaline rush. McIlroy and Oosthuizen turned it into a two-man race, with Woods lurking until he couldn’t convert enough putts. In the end, neither could Oosthuizen. He missed from just inside 10 feet for par on the 17th and from 12 feet on the 18th. “I probably made all my putts yesterday,” Oosthuizen said. There was other drama at the Deutsche Bank Championship, though it was not nearly as compelling as the top of the leaderboard. Charley Hoffman went from the first page of the leaderboard to an unimaginable collapse until he steadied himself at the end. Hoffman, who was 13 under after a birdie on the eighth hole, played his next nine holes in 8-over par, including a quadruplebogey 7 on the par-3 11th. He came to the 18th needing a par to finish among the top 70 in the FedEx Cup and advance to the third playoff event next week in Indianapolis.

Woods becomes first $100-million man PGA TOUR BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NORTON, Mass. — Tiger Woods has become the first $100 million man on the PGA Tour. Woods finished third in the Deutsche Bank Championship on Monday to earn $544,000 and push his career total to $100,350,700. Next on the list is Phil Mickelson — more than $30 million behind at $66,805,498 after finishing fourth at the TPC Boston. “The purse increase helps,” Woods said after a final-round 66 left him two strokes behind winner Rory McIlroy in the second week of the four-tournament FedEx Cup playoff. “I won fewer tournaments than Sam Snead has, but obviously he was in a different era. It’s just that we happened to time it up right and happened to play well when the purses really had a nice spike up.” Snead, the career leader with 82 PGA Tour victories, earned just $620,126 in a career that started in 1937. His biggest prize was $28,000 for a second-place finish in Milwaukee in 1968, and for most of his prime he played in tournaments with a total purse — that’s all the payouts combined — of less than $100,000. Woods has won 74 tournaments, second all-time, including 38 times with a first prize of $1 million or more. His winnings come out to an average of $362,276.89 for each of his 277 career starts. But it’s not just good timing: Prize money skyrocketed on the PGA Tour after Woods went pro and brought huge crowds and television audiences to the sport. “It was nice to have a nice start to my career, and I won some majors early,” he said. “I think we got some interest in the game of golf. A lot more youth, that’s for sure.” This weekend’s Deutsche Bank paid out $8 million, including the $1.44 million that went to McIlroy for his third victory of the year. By finishing strong — he was in the 60s in all four rounds — Woods remains in contention for the $10 million FedEx Cup bonus, which he has won twice. That money isn’t even included in his official career earnings, nor is the hundreds of millions he has collected in endorsements.

NORTON, Mass. — Rory McIlroy got the start he wanted Monday at the Deutsche Bank Championship, erasing a three-shot deficit in just five holes. The finish was hardly a masterpiece, except for the part when golf’s No. 1 player posed with the trophy. Boy Wonder didn’t make it easy on himself on Labor Day at the TPC Boston. He tore up the turf on a tee shot that travelled 170 yards, and that was the only fairway he hit over the last five holes. He had to make a 6-foot putt to save par from a bunker, and a 5-foot putt to save bogey after a pitch sailed from one side of the green to the other. And he had to wait as Louis Oosthuizen’s birdie putt to force a playoff slid below the hole. “I had a couple of wobbles coming in, but I obviously did enough and I’m very excited to get a victory,” McIlroy said. That’s all anyone will remember. On a leaderboard packed with some of the biggest names in golf — McIlroy, Oosthuizen, Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Dustin Johnson — the 23-yearold from Northern Ireland took a giant leap toward establishing himself as the best in the game. With four birdies in six holes at the start, and limiting the damage from his mistakes at the end, McIlroy closed with a 4-under 67 for a one-shot victory over Oosthuizen, joining Woods as the only threetime winners this year on the PGA Tour. McIlroy goes to No. 1 in the FedEx Cup. And with one of his wins being the PGA Championship, that might be enough for his peers to vote him PGA Tour player of the year. He also has a comfortable gap in the world ranking, and could be tough to catch the rest of the year unless Woods were to win the next two FedEx Cup events. “He’s not No. 1 in the world for nothing,” Oosthuizen said. “He’s a great young talent, a lot of majors left for him to win. He’s such a cool kid on the course. It’s great playing with him. He makes tough shots look really easy sometimes, especially long irons. “I don’t think the back nine he hit the ball that great after what he did on the front nine, but he did what he had to do.” Woods made an early charge to get back in the hunt, though he never got closer than three shots

NFL ready to start with replacement officials NO TALKS PLANNED BETWEEN LEAGUE AND LOCKED-OUT OFFICIALS BEFORE FIRST GAME TOMORROW BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — Officially — at least in their comments — NFL players and coaches aren’t concerning themselves with refereering. The NFL and its locked-out officials weren’t talking two days before the season begins, a clear indication replacements will be on the field for Wednesday night’s opener. Doesn’t matter, according to many of the guys who call the plays or carry them out. “We’re going to play the games regardless,” Chargers All-Pro safety Eric Weddle said Monday. “Everyone makes mistakes. I make mistakes. It’s just the way human nature is. You can’t get hard on guys that are trying to do the best they can. You’ve just got to deal with it. “Each week, each game, each practice, they’ll get better, so it’s not a concern of ours. Regardless, we’ve got to go out there and execute and take it out of their hands. Let’s go out and play good football, execute at a high level and then they won’t be in position to throw flags and make judgment calls.” Broncos coach John Fox echoed those thoughts. “In this game you’ve got to overcome a lot of things,” Fox said. “You’ve got to overcome the other team. Sometimes you’ve got to overcome your own mistakes. So, officials have always been a part of

it and they’ve never been an excuse. So, I don’t care who’s out there, we’ve got to worry about how we’re playing and we’ll deal with whatever they call, whether it’s old guys, new guys, middle guys. Their stuff sometimes influences the game, but you’ve got to overcome that.” Both sides met for three days last week, but did not reach an agreement to end the three-month lockout. The replacement officials who worked the preseason games amid much criticism will handle the Cowboys at Giants opener and the other 15 games on the weekend. “You just have to play your game. You can’t even pay any attention to it now at this point,” Giants receiver Victor Cruz said Monday. “You just have to go out there and trust that they are spending time in the meeting rooms and those referee rooms, reading the plays and getting the calls down.” The league and the NFL Referees Association, which covers more than 120 on-field officials, are at odds over salary, retirement benefits and operational issues. The NFL has said its offer includes annual pay increases that could earn an experienced official more than $200,000 annually by 2018. The NFLRA has disputed the value of the proposal, insisting it would ultimately reduce their compensation. With the stalemate, the NFL will use replacements in the regular season for the first time since

the opening week of 2001, days after the terrorist attacks. Many of those replacements came from the highest levels of college football, something that has changed drastically this year. The current replacement crews are comprised of mainly of officials from the Arena League, and the NCAA Division II and III levels. The league said it will handle the officiating assignments the same way it does in any other year, with the crew for Wednesday night’s game not being announced in advance — even though there’s increased interest in who works the game. “It’s one of those things where you just look out there and it’s like the difference between having a high school guy play in the NFL versus an NFL guy playing in the NFL,” Vikings punter Chris Kluwe said. “The speed’s totally different. Those guys are trying hard, but they’re just not used to the speed of the game and they’re missing a lot of stuff.” But they are missing stuff for both teams. Coaches and players alike are trying not to let that enter their minds as they prepare for their openers. “I know that these guys are coming in here doing the best that they can, but it’s really out of our control. It doesn’t matter if we have flag football officials, we’ve got to go out and play the best that we can and hopefully get a few calls along the way,” Steelers defensive end Brett Keisel said.

Oregon’s big win gives backups valuable playing time BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS EUGENE, Ore. — With fifth-ranked Oregon heavily favoured in its nonconference schedule, Ducks coach Chip Kelly must strike a balance between playing his starters and giving his backups valuable live-game experience. In the opener against Arkansas State, most of the Ducks’ first team was watching from the sidelines by halftime after Oregon built a 50-10 lead. The reserves showed they could use some work when the Red Wolves found some soft spots to close the final margin to 57-34 on Saturday night. “It’s that fine line of making sure we’re getting better and starting to grow,” Kelly said. “And you don’t want to

get guys hurt.” Oregon hosts Fresno State on Saturday and Tennessee Tech on Sept. 15 before kicking off the Pac-12 schedule against Arizona at Autzen Stadium on Sept. 22. The Ducks don’t play their first game on the road until Sept. 29 at Washington State. Redshirt freshman Marcus Mariota worked less than a half against Arkansas State, but threw for 200 yards and three touchdowns. It was his college debut after playing on the practice squad last season. Versatile sophomore De’Anthony Thomas had 125 all-purpose yards, catching two touchdowns and rushing for one. Senior Kenjon Barner, taking over this season for departed running back LaMichael James, ran for 66 yards

and two scores. Bryan Bennett, who appeared to be on track to be the Ducks’ starting quarterback after backing up Darron Thomas last season, lost the job to Mariota in camp. Against the Red Wolves he relieved Mariota, completing 10 of 17 passes for 108 yards and touchdown and an interception. Arkansas State outscored the Ducks 24-7 in the second half. And Red Wolves senior quarterback Ryan Aplin finished with 304 yards passing and three touchdowns against the Ducks. Barner said he didn’t hold the Ducks’ reserves at fault. Rather, the whole team needs to be more consistent, he said. “Depth has always been a question from the media’s standpoint about us. But we

always laugh at that because we know our depth, we know what we have and we see it during practice. Depth is not an issue for us.” Certainly, if there were any questions about Mariota’s ability to lead the Ducks, they were dispelled. The young quarterback from Hawaii completed 18 of 22 passes and was intercepted once. He led the Ducks to touchdowns on their first seven drives before he left with 7:06 left before halftime. “He’s just a great player,” De’Anthony Thomas said. “He’s a smart quarterback and he makes good decisions.” Mariota was the first freshman to start at quarterback for Oregon since Danny O’Neil in 1991. Darron Thomas passed for

2,761 yards and a school-record 33 touchdowns last season when the Ducks went 102 and beat Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl. He surprisingly left Oregon with a year of eligibility remaining to declare himself eligible for the NFL draft and wound up undrafted. Bennett was Thomas’ backup last season, completing 25 of 46 passes for 369 yards and six touchdowns, including a start in a victory over Colorado when Thomas was out with a sprained knee. Mariota emerged in the spring game, throwing for 202 yards and a touchdown. He also rushed for 99 yards and two scores — including an 82-yard scoring run. Because Oregon closes practices, it was difficult to judge whether the spring game was a fluke.

Big 12 teams get perfect start to 2012 college football season has a close game, they say, ’Oh, they overlooked them,”’ said Stoops, whose team beat Air Force by a field goal in 2010. “That’s not always the case.” The trickle-down of talent extends beyond divisions, too. Schools such as South Dakota State that play in the Football Championship Subdivision are getting recruits that two decades ago would have been backups at a power school such as Nebraska, and the result are more scores like this: Youngstown State 31, Pittsburgh 17. Kansas State coach Bill Snyder certainly understands such peril. Missouri State won two games a year ago and even had an assistant coach quit 10 days before the season, but showed enough moxie that the Wildcats didn’t get control until 20 minutes were left. “That’s going to be a good football team. They were picked last in their conference,” Snyder said. “You have to realize that their defence kept us out of the end zone for the entire first half and into the second half. I think they are going to be fine.” Not everybody in the Big 12 had a tough time squeezing through Week 1, though. Bookmakers made No. 19 Oklahoma State a nearly 70 point favourite on Savannah State, a line so preposterous that most people figured the Cowboys couldn’t possibly cover the spread. Then they scored five touchdowns by the end of the first quarter, yanked the majority of their starters in the second, and did everything but kneel on the ball the entire second half to keep the game from getting out of hand. Oklahoma State still won 84-0.

It was a perfect Week 1 for the retooled Big 12, at least as far as the scoreboard goes. All the league’s members, including newcomers TCU and West Virginia, got off to winning starts. How they got there varied widely, and in some cases left more questions than answers. Oklahoma scuffled its way to a 24-7 victory at UTEP, but the fourth-ranked Sooners were tied at halftime. No. 22 Kansas State needed a late scoring binge to separate from stubborn Missouri State, which briefly tied the game with a field goal early in the third quarter. Iowa State trailed Tulsa in the second quarter, Kansas had trouble putting away South Dakota State until late in the game, and No. 15 Texas was underwhelming in a defeat of Wyoming. Sooners coach Bob Stoops believes it can all be traced back to one thing: parity. “I mean, it’s been talked about for a long time now,” Stoops said. “There’s more and more good players that go around to everybody, and since they changed the rules that one team can’t get 140 guys — you can only get so many — there’s guys everywhere. And it’ll remain that way.” Stoops is referring to the scholarship restrictions imposed by the NCAA to prevent heavyweights from recruiting players simply to keep them off the rosters of their rivals. There were no limits on scholarships until the early 1970s, and for much of the decade the limit was 105. It’s been trimmed twice since then to the present limit of 85, so players that the Sooners might have stocked up on during the heyday of Barry Switzer are going places such as UTEP, where they are guaranteed a scholYouth To Adult arship and have a better - Casual Clothing chance to see the field. - Hats The result is more tal- Belts ented teams from the mid- Backpacks dle-tier of college football. - Sunglasses Programs that were . - and much more! once the punching bags of the big boys — think Designed by West Side Gasoline Alley Boise State — have a bet37478 Hwy 2 South, - Fox ter chance of becoming Red Deer County Metal Mulisha legitimate powers, and Thor all of those early season - Troy Lee blowouts that became 403.346.5238 - and Many More! www.turplebros.ca a hallmark of the nonconference portion of the schedule have become a rarity.

The victory demonstrated another challenge of early season games. Cowboys coach Mike Gundy said it was never his intention for the game to get that one-sided, but he also pointed out the challenge in setting up schedules. Savannah State had to be added late once Big 12 realignment had been sorted out — “I think Savannah State was maybe the 17th school they called,” he said — and other schools are often a shadow of what they were when the game was made. “This debate could go on forever with scheduling. It’s hard to predict,” Gundy said. “For example, you may schedule a team three or four years out, where they’re doing very well, and

then by the time you play them, they’re having a really tough time. And when you schedule that game, it may not end up being what you thought.

Hamlin holds off Gordon for second straight win HAMPTON, Ga. — Denny Hamlin won his second straight Sprint Cup race, holding off Jeff Gordon in a green-whitecheckered finish at Atlanta Motor Speedway on Sunday night. With his series-leading fourth win of the season, Hamlin put himself in position to top the standings when the 12-driver Chase starts after next weekend’s race at Richmond. Asked if he feels like the driver to beat for the championship, Hamlin replied, “I don’t have to say anything. Wins are all that matters.” Martin Truex Jr. appeared to be positioned for his first win since 2007 until Jamie McMurray smashed into the wall on the front straightaway, bringing out a caution with three laps to go. The leaders went to pit road, and Hamlin’s crew got him back on the track first, just ahead of Truex. While Truex struggled to get up to speed on the restart, Hamlin pulled away with Gordon right on his bumper. The fourtime Cup champion desperately needed a win to bolster his chances of getting into the Chase, but couldn’t get by Hamlin on the final lap. “I wanted this one real bad,” Hamlin said. “The car faded a little bit, but the pit crew won me that race. That’s what a championship team is all about. This year, I think we have it all.” Gordon was kicking himself for failing to pull off a pass on Hamlin, saying he was too tentative going into turn three. Instead of putting pressure on the leader, the No. 24 car drifted up near the wall going through the high-banked turn while Hamlin pulled away. Now, Gordon will almost surely have to win at Richmond to claim a wild card. “I would like to have that one over again,” Gordon said. “I guess

I’m getting soft in my old age.” Brad Keselowski finished third, while Truex faded to fourth. He had struggled all night on restarts, usually needing about five laps to get up to speed. In a desperate bid to stay with Hamlin, he spun his tires when the green flag waved. “I sure didn’t want to see that caution,” said Truex, who has gone 192 races since his only Cup win at Dover five years ago. “We had it covered. Such is life. That seems to be my kind of luck when we’re leading.” Along with Hamlin, eight other drivers have locked up their spot in the Chase based on points: Greg Biffle, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Matt Kenseth, Jimmie Johnson, Truex, Keselowski, Clint Bowyer and Kevin Harvick. Defending Cup champion Tony Stewart, who has three wins this season, is assured of at

least a wild card. Kasey Kahne, with two wins, has all but locked up a spot in the playoff. That leaves a bunch of big-name drivers who know, in all likelihood, they must win at Richmond to have a shot at getting into the Chase — including Gordon, Kyle Busch and last year’s runner-up, Carl Edwards. It was another tough night for Edwards, who has yet to win a race this season after nearly winning the title in 2011. The No. 99 car started smoking on lap 264, apparently from a blown piston. He was done for the night, a devastating blow to his chances. Edwards lost last year’s championship to Stewart on a tiebreaker in the final race of the season. Now, he absolutely must win at Richmond — and even that may not be enough to get him into the playoff.

A shining for Meteors ROCKY MOUNTAIN HOUSE AUTO ENTHUSIASTS HAVE COLLECTION OF FORD AND METEOR CARS BY LAURA TESTER ADVOCATE STAFF Terry McCaw’s collection of Meteors is making him a star in the classic car world. The Rocky Mountain House man and his wife Judy likely have the biggest collection of Meteors around — a Canadian-built Ford car manufactured from 1949 to 1976. McCaw particularly likes that this car was Canadian-built. It was manufactured through the Ford plant in Oakville, Ont. “It’s a kind of car that you can have threetone paint,” said McCaw. “The grille has a big V in it like a smile and Ford doesn’t have that. It’s got a different grille, different side trim that I really like.” McCaw remembers owning a 1957 Ford when he was 16, so he’s been a Ford buff for a while. Judy, his then-high school sweetheart, liked them too. His first Meteor, a 1956 convertible, was bought in Regina. McCaw later found out it was the car he was a passenger in at age 15 in his hometown of Nipawin, Sask. He ran into a man from Nipawin, who wondered what happened to his mandarin orangecoloured car with a Ford front end on it. “He couldn’t believe I had it — he sold it in 1964,” said McCaw. McCaw began collecting classic cars in the late 1990s and since then he’s acquired about 160 Ford and Meteor cars, which are stored on his Rocky fenced property. Some are stored inside buildings, but there are 100 vehicles, which he uses parts from, that are parked outside in the “bone yard.” McCaw restores vehicles for himself and others. McCaw can sell a restored vehicle for $100,000, but he invests the same amount into its repairs. It usually takes him about 18 months to restore each one. His favourite car is a 1957 Ford Fairlane, two-door hardtop, yellow and white in colour. It’s similar to the car he had when he first dated Judy. Out of the 160 cars, 35 are Meteors. McCaw said the “cars find us” through

Terry McCaw with his wife Judy are avid collectors of Ford Meteors and have restored over 39 of the classic cars. McCaw and a few of his rare vehicles are going to be featured on a classic car show. friends and places like car shows. One of their Meteors won “best convertible” at a show in Phoenix, Ariz. They travel all over, from Des Moines, Iowa to Reno, Nev. “As (Dennis) Gage says, he calls me the ‘Meteor man’,” said McCaw, chuckling. Gage, a man with a white handlebar moustache, hosts the American television series, My Classic Car. Gage was already booked to attend the Rock N’ Red Deer hot rod and classic car show in Red Deer, so he was able to swing by the McCaws’ home too. He and a cameraman filmed all day with the McCaws on Aug. 5.

The McCaw episode will air sometime next year on the SPEED channel. Gage, who travels all over the United States and Europe, has never seen a Meteor collection this big. “He said, ‘it’s just nice to see Canadian cars,’” said McCaw, 62. “I told him that I’m on a small scale compared to what he profiles, like (TV comedic host and classic car buff Jay) Leno. He said ‘yeah, but you have stuff that people don’t have’. So that made me feel pretty good.” The couple’s three sons are expected to take over the collection since they enjoy owning classic cars themselves. ltester@reddeeradvocate.com

Family attends world record reunion 4,750 ADULTS FROM THE PORTEAU-CLAUTOUR FAMILY GATHERED IN A TOWN IN FRANCE BY LAURA TESTER ADVOCATE STAFF Joe Gendre’s summer vacation on France’s west coast was one for the record books. The Stettler County councillor, his wife Circun and their four children participated in what was the biggest family reunion ever staged in the world. On Aug. 18-19, 4,750 adults from the Porteau-Clautour family gathered at the town of Saint-Christophe-du-Ligneron. The event was registered for the Guiness World Records, which previously recorded the largest family reunion going to an American one of 2,585 adults. More than 5,000 people actually attended the France reunion, but only adults are counted for Guinness. Gendre will never forget this reunion because of its sheer size and the jovial attitude amongst everyone. The event was held on the fairgrounds decorated with tents, food concessions, a bandstand, bouncy playhouses for children, and games including “six-foot long javelin-type” size pick-up sticks. One woman in her 90s sang French folk songs. Others, dressed in traditional costume from a century ago, made rope and wicker baskets in front of passersby. Thirteen Canadians — including Gendre’s family, plus his uncle Leon Gendre of Red Deer and his two sons — attended. The reunion’s cost was free to them. “Because we came from Canada, we were like honoured guests,” said Gendre, 51. “We had these Canadian tags on and people would surround us.

Gendre first heard about the reunion a couple of years ago through fourth cousin, organizer Jean-Michel Cheneau. He’s been interested in geneology (study of families and their lineages) since age 11. “He decided he was going to go for the gusto and have this big cousin reunion,” said Gendre.

Cheneau and 22 of his colleagues from university helped work on this big task. One of them was writing a book on priests that left France during the Revolution, which began in 1789, and the subsequent separation of church and state of the early 1900s. Gendre’s great-uncle was a priest, plus his uncle was a brother in the Catholic Religious Order. Through these family connections, Cheneau learned about his relatives in Canada. He then got a hold of them to tell them about the reunion. The reunion was held for

the descendants of George and Madeleine Porteau who lived in the 1600s. They have more than 23,000 known descendents — the names of which appeared on a family tree banner displayed at the reunion. “When you stretch out a banner (about 750 metres long) — it’s just incredible,” said Gendre. Gendre said he’s not sure of plans for another reunion. “I wasn’t going to miss this one,” said Gendre. “And I’m sure the kids will have lots to remember.” ltester@reddeeradvocate.com

Data, votes weigh on traders BY THE CANADIAN PRESS The Canadian dollar could face severe cross-currents this week as traders look to the next rate announcement from the Bank of Canada, as well as results of the Quebec election and the latest jobs numbers. Stock markets could also be volatile as traders also look to a rate announcement Thursday by the European Central Bank for definite moves to keep the lid on borrowing costs of the most vulnerable eurozone members, including Spain and Italy. And the results of the August non-farm payrolls report could provide a clue as to whether the U.S. Federal Reserve thinks the economy is underperforming to a point where it could launch another round of stimulus. There is no doubt among economists that the Canadian central bank will opt Wednesday to leave its key interest rate unchanged at one per cent amid a fragile global economic recovery and large parts of Europe in recession. Traders will look to the central bank’s announcement for any indication as to when rates may rise but it’s not expected the Bank of Canada will change its lan-

MARKET OUTLOOK guage from the last announcement when it signalled an eventual tightening bias, indicating that rates would rise at some point. “I suspect it will be more of the same for the bank,” said Doug Porter, deputy chief economist at BMO Capital Markets “And the reality is that they, like everyone else, are likely waiting to see what unfolds in the critical events ahead in Europe, starting with the ECB meeting on Thursday.” But ahead of that morning announcement, currency traders will already be digesting the results of Tuesday’s general election in Quebec and what it means to political stability. The election campaign got very little, if any, notice on markets even as a CROP survey released Friday suggested that the PQ was the front-runner, leading by four percentage points in the popular vote. “The risk is underpriced and (under) recognized right now,” said Camilla Sutton, chief currency strategist at Scotia Capital, noting that there are so many factors weighing on the loonie this week. At the same time, traders would see the

CROP survey also indicated support for sovereignty has dropped eight percentage points during the campaign, while the number of undecideds has increased to 10 per cent and support for Canadian federalism stands at 62 per cent. The numbers in that survey peg support for independence well below the level it was at three decades ago, when 40 per cent of Quebecers voted “Yes” in a 1980 referendum. The loonie could also be affected by Friday’s Canadian jobs data as economists think that 11,000 jobs were created during the month. Stock markets buffetted this year by uncertainty as the eurozone debt crisis worsened could find some lift Thursday if the ECB unveils plans to launch another bondbuying program to keep borrowing costs under control. Ten-year bond yields in Spain and Italy pushed past the seven per cent level, which is considered unsustainable in the long run, earlier this summer. Porter said it is possible the ECB move could be delayed “because there is a little bit of a game going on between the ECB and Spain, each waiting for the other to blink first,” said Porter.

Rescue package believed adequate

Greek doctors protest over unpaid bills ATHENS — Private doctors working with Greece’s largest state-run healthcare provider have started charging their patients, in protest at the organization’s unpaid bills. A doctors’ association said the action against the provider EOPYY started Monday and will last at least five days. Pharmacists launched a similar protest at the weekend, refusing to hand out prescriptions from the state-backed insurer. Greece’s coalition government is preparing a new round of cuts, worth at least C11.5 billion ($14.4 billion) for 201213, demanded by the country’s international rescue creditors. It has fallen behind on paying its public health costs, among other payments, in an effort to restrain the budget deficit.

France has over 3 million unemployed PARIS — The number of French unemployed has broken through the 3 million barrier, the country’s leaders say. The latest total adds pressure on President Francois Hollande, whose administration is under attack for doing not doing enough to fix the economy. France’s unemployment rate is currently 10 per cent. Breaking the 3 million mark carries more symbolic importance than economic but it was covered extensively in the French media over the weekend. According to Le Figaro newspaper, last time the 3-million threshold was crossed was in 1999. Employment Minister Michel Sapin confirmed the total on French radio and warned that the numbers would likely get worse. Prime Minister JeanMarc Ayrault called the numbers “very violent”.

printed warnings. “It’s so hot you have to handle it with gloves,” said Harris. “You put like one drop in an entire pot of chili.” Housewarmings’ most potent offering is “Pure Canadian Crude,” which ranks right up there with Pure Cap. People who complain about hot sauces not being extreme enough for their taste, never do so after sampling Pure Canadian Crude, observed Robb. At Country Cupboard, customers will find a sauce continuum that extends from “hot” to “extremely hot,” said Cathy Edwards, who owns the store with her husband Don. They carry the “Blair’s” line of sauces, which offers such choices as “Pure Death,” “Sudden Death,” “Mega Death,” “Ultra Death,” “After Death” and “Beyond Death.” Harris said a number of cooks and chefs come to Sunworks for hot seasonings. One local restaurant that isn’t afraid to turn up the heat is Cities Gastro Pub, which operates in Red Deer and Sylvan Lake and has a “Ghost Pepper Wings Challenge.” Customers able to eat a pound of the sizzling hot wings in 10 minutes receive the order for free and get their photo on a wall of fame, said coowner Dwayne Gauthier. It’s no easy task, with the wings seasoned with a mixture of ghost, or Bhut Jolokia pepper (once considered the hottest pepper in the world, said Gauthier), habanero chili pepper, cinnamon and lemon juice. Those who attempt the feat are even required to sign a waiver. So far, about 25 have succeeded, said Gauthier, including some hot food enthusiasts who travelled from as far as Edmonton and Calgary. “They’ve got rubber gloves that they pull out.”

MADRID, Spain — Spain’s ailing banks won’t likely need to tap all the C100 billion ($125.7 billion) that’s been made available by the country’s euro partners, Economy Minister Luis de Guindos said Monday. In a further indication that Spain’s economic problems are not as acute as some in the markets have been fearing, De Guindos also insisted that no additional austerity measures will be needed to meet the Spanish government’s deficit-reduction target. Spain is battling to avoid the same bailout fate as Greece, Ireland, Portugal and Cyprus. However, De Guindos said Spain’s most troubled bank, Bankia, will get urgent aid, while two indebted Spanish regions appealed for emergency funding to deal with a crippling liquidity crunch. Spain’s banks have an estimated C184 billion in problematic real estate loans and investments following the collapse of the country’s property market in 2008. The other 16 eurozone countries have set aside the rescue package to help troubled Spanish lenders. “In principle, it looks like not all of (the C100 billion) will be used,” De Guindos told Onda Cero radio. De Guindos said austerity policies being enacted by the government will be enough for Spain to meet its target of reducing the budget deficit to 6.3 per cent of national income this year from 9 per cent last. The government has already unveiled a C65 billion package of tax hikes and spending cuts. “Spain has already set out a path which is sufficient for the problems we face,” De Guindos said. He said he didn’t expect other eurozone countries to demand more economic reforms in Spain. Spain is in a double-dip recession with a near 25 per cent unemployment rate. Investors fearing Spain may not be able to pay off its debts have charged high prices for loans to the country. That’s piled the pressure on Spain to reduce its swollen deficit, cut central and regional government spending and clean up its banking system. German Chancellor Angela Merkel is due to visit Madrid on Thursday for talks with Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy.

Lesley Caddy looks over ingredients in one of the many hot sauces Sunworks carries.

Need some hot stuff? Try sauces available downtown BY HARLEY RICHARDS ADVOCATE BUSINESS EDITOR Do you find that Tabasco has lost its teeth? Hot sauce enthusiasts can find no shortage of fiery alternatives in downtown Red Deer. From “Colon Cleaner” and “Sphincter Shrinker” at Sunworks, “Acid Rain” at Housewarmings and “Death Sauce” at Country Cupboard, the options are many and varied. The most expansive collection resides at Sunworks, where owners Paul Harris and Terry Warke maintain a Hot Sauce Room with more than 100 products on display. These range from the respectable-sounding “Three Pepper Lemon Hot Sauce” and the “Dave’s” line of sauces (“Insanity,” “Total Insanity” and “Ultimate Insanity,”) to items with names too obscene to publish. Men, it turns out, account for most of the sales. “The guys come in here looking for the hottest sauce they can possibly get, to burn their friends up with — or to prove that they’re a man,” said Harris with a chuckle. Women who pass beneath the red flamed archway that separates Sunworks’ Hot Sauce Room from the rest of the store are often shopping for men, he added. Housewarmings’ owner Catherine Robb sees a similar trend in her shop. “It’s either females buying for men or men coming in and buying it for themselves,” she said. Harris said the idea for a Hot Sauce Room came from a specialty store he and Warke saw in Seattle. Some of the products Sunworks now carries can be found in local grocery stores, he acknowledged. “But never the really, really hot ones.” A good example is “Pure Cap.” Made from capsaicin and 100 times hotter than jalapeno peppers, it comes double-packaged with

European banks may soon tap rescue funds directly BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BERLIN — Germany’s finance minister hit hopes that Europe’s stressed banks could soon tap the region’s rescue funds directly when he said Monday that a new Europe-wide banking supervisor is unlikely to be up and running in the new year. Meanwhile, Chancellor Angela Merkel called on Germans to show “solidarity” with those members of the 17-country bloc that uses the euro which are struggling with much-needed economic reforms.

EU leaders agreed in June funds set up to bail out indebted governments could be allowed to funnel money directly to ailing banks — rather than via governments which would add to their debt burden — once an effective supervision system is established. The idea is to assuage worries about the health of Europe’s banking system, which is in danger of grinding to a halt as banks become increasingly wary of lending to one another. The European Commission will make proposals for a new supervisory system Sept. 12. Internal market commissioner Michel Barnier said last week he hopes it

could be phased in starting next January and be extended to all banks in the eurozone at the beginning of 2014. Barnier also voiced hopes that banks could be helped directly from the C500 billion ($629 billion) European Stability Mechanism, Europe’s planned permanent bailout fund, starting in January. However, German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble was skeptical about whether the new system would start work next year.

GAME: Official request sought “The view is that the ECB actually wants Spain to officially ask for assistance where Spain wants to see exactly what the ECB has up its sleeve so there is the possibility we don’t get a definitive answer next week. As long as the wait is perceived to be just a week or so.” The week ends with the major economic report of the week, the U.S. August non-farm payrolls report. Economists forecast that the American economy likely created 127,000 jobs during August following an unexpected surge of 163,000 during July, while the jobless rate held stedy at 8.3 per cent. The jobs data will provide an important clue whether the Fed will announce it is embarking on another round of stimulus, after Fed chairman Ben Bernanke said last week that the central bank will act to promote growth as needed. U.S. stimulus hopes had risen in particular after the release in late August of minutes from the last Fed interest rate meeting Aug. 1 which said a growing number of members wanted to see the central bank do more to help the U.S. economy. But economic data released since then, including better than expected job creation in July, rising retail sales and a recovering housing sector, actually point to a strengthening economy, meaning the Fed could find it hard to justify more easing, analysts say. The Toronto stock market ended last week down 133 points or 1.1 per cent, leaving the TSX about even where it started the year.

“We have said many times in the Spanish case ... that the path Spain has taken recently is remarkable. And that will — as in other countries — when the homework has been done, when the structure of the economy and the labour market has been improved, lead to that being reflected in interest rates,” Seibert told reporters in Berlin. De Guindos predicted that the C100 billion in bank rescue funds would become available by early November, once the banks’ restructuring plans are unveiled in the middle of this month. However, he said an emergency advance loan of up to C5 billion for Bankia, a leading bank that was nationalized in May, could be announced later Monday. Bankia has called for a total of C24 billion in public aid. Spain’s heavily indebted regions are another concern for the government. The northeastern region of Catalonia, which announced last week it would seek C5.02 billion in aid from the central government, said Monday it urgently needs money and won’t be able to wait until September, as planned, El Pais reported. Also, the regional government of Andalucia is asking for C1 billion in emergency funding, it said. Though the Spanish government is reluctant to accept conditions that would likely be imposed as part of a wider bailout, Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Garcia Margallo signalled that his country is willing to surrender some degree of sovereignty as part of efforts to draw a line under the eurozone’s financial crisis. He said Spain hoped to make progress toward greater European banking, fiscal and political union during the meeting with Merkel. “We need to move towards a United States of Europe,” he said.

SAUCE: ‘Don’t want BANKS: Some have to go overboard doubt Gauthier said he could make his ghost pepper wings even hotter, but doesn’t want to go overboard. He also wants to maintain some flavour. “Some people will make a hot sauce that doesn’t taste like hot sauce anymore. It tastes like engine oil.” Advocate food columnist Madhu Badoni said her family is addicted to hot sauces. She uses them to add a bit of zing to a variety of dishes, and even to increase the punch of condiments. Badoni noted, however, that she recently scored poorly in a test of how well she can discriminate between flavours — something she attributes to years of eating spicy foods and curries. “I can, of course, revive my sense of taste if I give up all spicy food for two months,” she noted. “I am pondering this . . . .” hrichards@reddeeradvocate.com

SPAIN: Reforms Her spokesman, Steffen Seibert, said Monday that Spain must push through its reform plans to improve the long-term prospects of its economy and alleviate market concerns.

“I think that’s pretty unrealistic,” he said on Deutschlandfunk radio. “I have my doubts that it will come so quickly, and so I think that once again expectations are being created here that can’t be fulfilled, not even close,” Schaeuble said. “That is always a reason for trouble and nervousness in the financial markets.” Berlin and Brussels already appear at odds on the extent of the new supervisor’s powers. Barnier has argued that all banks need to be supervised centrally by the European Central Bank; Germany argues that the supervisor should limit its focus to major banks whose stability is vital to Europe’s financial security. Germany insists that, if the supervisory job is handed to the ECB, decision-making on banking supervision and monetary policy must be strictly separated. Merkel and her government have insisted that the key to resolving the eurozone’s debt crisis is for struggling countries to cut their budget deficits and pursue structural reforms such as liberalizing labour markets.

Red Bull heir accused of hitting, killing police officer with Ferrari BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BANGKOK, Thailand — A grandson of the creator of the Red Bull energy drink has been arrested for driving a Ferrari that struck a police officer and dragged his dead body down a Bangkok street in an early-morning hit-andrun, police said Monday. Police took Vorayuth Yoovidhya, 27, for questioning after tracing oil streaks for several blocks to his family’s gated estate in a wealthy neighbourhood of the Thai capital. He was facing charges of causing death by reckless driving and escaping an arrest by police but was released on a 500,000 baht ($15,900) bail. Vorayuth admitted he drove the charcoal grey sports car but said the police officer’s motorcycle abruptly

cut in front of his vehicle, said police Maj. Gen. Anuchai Lekbamroong, the lead investigator in the case. Bangkok’s top police official, Lt. Gen. Comronwit Toopgrajank, said he took charge of the investigation after a lower-ranking policeman initially tried to cover up the crime by turning in a bogus suspect. The Yoovidhaya family was ranked the 4th richest in Thailand this year by Forbes magazine, with a net worth of $5.4 billion. Red Bull creator Chaleo Yoovidhaya died in his 80s in March, leaving his heirs a wide range of businesses, including shares in the globally popular energy drink brand, hospitals and real estate. The family also co-owns the sole authorized importer of Ferrari cars in Thailand.

The Pirate Bay file-sharing site co-founder arrested CAUGHT IN CAMBODIA BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PHNOM PENH, Cambodia — A cofounder of popular file sharing website The Pirate Bay was arrested in Cambodia at the request of Sweden, where he faces a one-year prison term for violating copyright laws, authorities said Monday. Cambodian authorities arrested Gottfrid Svartholm Warg on Thursday at a home he had rented in the capital, Phnom Penh, said national police spokesman Kirth Chantharith. “He is being detained in Cambodia and we are waiting to expel him,” Kirth Chantharith said. Cambodia has no extradition treaty with Sweden but has requested details of Svartholm Warg’s crime in order to process his handover, he said, adding that Cambodia would act as quickly as possible. Svartholm Warg and the site’s three other founders were convicted in 2009 by a Swedish court of assisting copyright infringement by helping millions of the site’s users to illegally download music, movies and computer games. All were sentenced to one year in prison and ordered to pay 30 million

kronor ($3.6 million) to entertainment companies, including Warner Bros., Sony Music Entertainment, EMI and Columbia Pictures. Svartholm Warg failed to show up at an appeal hearing in 2010. At the time, his defence attorney told the court he had received text messages from Svartholm Warg’s mother saying her son had fallen ill in Cambodia and would not appear in court. The appeals court reduced the prison sentences for the three other cofounders from one year to between four and 10 months and raised the amount they have to pay in damages to the entertainment industry to 46 million kronor ($6.5 million). All four defendants denied the charges, arguing that The Pirate Bay doesn’t actually host any copyrightprotected material itself. Instead, it provides a forum for users to download content through so-called torrent files. The technology allows users to transfer parts of a large file from several different users, increasing download speeds. Kirth Chantharith said a group of Swedish officials was scheduled to arrive in Cambodia today or Tuesday to present documents concerning the case and discuss procedures for returning Svartholm Warg.

Oil price falls on slowdown concerns THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Oil prices fell Monday after weaker-thanexpected manufacturing data from China intensified concerns about the global economy. Benchmark oil for October delivery was down 12 cents at $96.35 a barrel in early afternoon trading in London in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract rose $1.85 to finish at $96.47 per barrel Friday in New York. Brent crude for October delivery was up 1 cent to $114.59 on the ICE Futures exchange in London. A report released Saturday by the state-authorized China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing said its purchasing managers’ index, a measure of manufacturing activity, fell to 49.2 in August from July’s 50.1. Numbers below 50 indicate activity is contracting. That was a nine-month low, according to analysts at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, who said in a market commentary that investors need to be prepared for worsen-

ing data about Chinese inflation, industrial production, retail sales and trade. Weak economic growth tends to lead to lower fuel consumption and energy prices often fall as a result.

A second survey backed up the federation results. HSBC Corp. said Monday its purchasing managers’ index for August fell to its lowest level in more than three years.

SILVERGUN AND SPLEEN BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF

Celebrities are also camera shy BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — During a recent photo shoot, Alanis Morissette was perched perilously on the edge of a couch in yellow high heels while a photographer issued a simple instruction: just act natural. Morissette, as charmingly obliging a celebrity as you’re likely to find, could just offer a huge grin in response. “None of this is natural,” she said, laughing. Well, so it goes. As hundreds of the world’s brightest celebs descend upon the Toronto International Film Festival this week, they’ll be greeted by a blaze of flashes sizable enough for a Michael Bay movie. Given that actors make a living looking pretty in front of cameras, one might assume it’s easy to generate those megawatt mug shots. But while many celebrities have grown adept at glittering under that glare, it’s a not-so-secret fact of life in Hollywood that many famous people hate having their picture taken just as much as regular Joes grimacing through family portraits. “I’m not good at being photographed, no,” said ’80s heart throb and “St. Elmo’s Fire” star Andrew McCarthy in a recent interview. “I

find it very self-conscious. I mean, I have my picture taken — I sit there and grudgingly have my picture taken. Only because I feel self-conscious and I don’t know how to perform in front of the camera and be relaxed like that.” As it turns out, a surprising number of oft-photographed celebs similarly shrink from the spotlight. Toronto-raised photographer Chris Buck has shot the likes of Jay-Z, Michael Stipe, Ringo Starr, Jon Hamm, Russell Brand and Steve Martin while being published in such high-profile mags as GQ, Esquire and Newsweek. He’s just published a book called “Presence: The Invisible Portrait.” The idea behind the project, essentially, is that Buck shoots big-name stars including William Shatner, Chevy Chase, Jay Leno and Amy Poehler — but gets them to hide so they aren’t actually visible in the frame. Once they understood the project, some of his subjects were relieved to avoid the lens. “Jonathan Franzen loved that,” he said of the author of “The Corrections.” “I’d say to him, ’You’re aware you’re not going to be visible?’ He was like, ’Yes, that’s the major selling point.”’ Oscar-winning actor Robert De Niro was also among the subjects

profiled in Buck’s book — and, unsurprisingly, the man who once threatened his own reflection in “Taxi Driver” doesn’t exactly blossom in front of the camera. “He doesn’t like having his picture taken — he really doesn’t like it,” Buck said. “He’s perfectly pleasant, but it’s well known he doesn’t like having his picture taken. At a certain point, he’s like: ’What do you need?”’ De Niro co-operated with the idea, eventually consenting to hide in a bathroom while Buck got his shot. And usually, even camera-shy celebs are eventually agreeable because they too want the best possible shot. “Some people are great — they’re just creative people, and they’re engaged in the process, (so) you do good work. And other times, people are not into it, and they’re jerks about it....(But) most people, they know how to engage with it and make it work ... they want a great photograph, and that’s what you want.” He isn’t shy about pointing out some of the more, ahem, challenging celebs he’s worked with. Kathy Griffin, included in his book, was “very difficult,” resisting the setup the magazine had requested and trying to change the way Buck lit the shoot.

Big names come out for festival finish PHILADELPHIA — If closing out a two-day festival with an intense twohour set wasn’t enough for Pearl Jam, then bringing out the man who organized it sealed the deal.

performed for the first time in over a decade. Taking the stage under a video banner that read “Jam Master Jay Forever,” the Queens, N.Y., natives were well received by fans who danced to the music and sang along, some better than others. Beyonce and JayZ strolled through the crowd flanked by security. Their 40-minute set included “It’s Tricky” to a sea of flailing arms, and “It’s Like That.”

based band grunge rockers and they did not disappoint. Their 25-song set saw tens of thousands of fans jumping, dancing, and singing on the muggy September night to the band’s well-known tracks like “Alive,” ”Better Man,“ and ”Jeremy.“ For the song “Unemployable,” Vedder told the crowd it was about a hard-working family man who did all the right things in life, but became the victim of job cuts. He said sometimes the so-

Actor Colin Farrell arrives to the red carpet for the screening of ‘Triage’ during the Toronto International Film Festival in 2009. As hundreds of the world’s brightest celebs descend upon the Toronto International Film Festival this week, they’ll be greeted by a blaze of flashes suitable for a Michael Bay movie.

Growing up as a drummer and would-be rock musician in Rimbey could be a pretty lonely preoccupation, admitted John Lenherr. “There were too many hockey players and not enough musicians,” said Lenherr, who eventually moved to Red Deer, then Ottawa to pursue his musical dreams. His journey is now coming full-circle: Lenherr’s Ottawa-based band, Silvergun and Spleen, which won $20,000 radio station contest that paid for a new CD recording, is on a cross-Canada promotional tour that stops on Sept. 7 in the drummer’s hometown of Rimbey. “It’s awesome to go home again,” said Lenherr, who’s looking forwards to the “reunion” of family and friends that’s sure to form when his “pelvic rock”/dance band performs at the Grand Hotel in Rimbey. Silvergun and Spleen is throwing a CD release party for their Semi Truck album, which will be released on Sept. 11. Lenherr’s group is made up of his beehivesporting girlfriend, vocalist/guitarist Marie-Eve “Merv” Mallet, and her equally tall-haired sister Veronique “Vern” Mallet, who sings, plays the guitar and keyboards. The Mallets are from New Brunswick, but met Lenherr after all three musicians were living in Red Deer. The trio relocated to Ottawa about a decade ago, thinking they might study music at university, but ended up forming a band instead. Eventually they became a quartet with the addition of bassist Chris Page-Manson. Forming Silvergun

and Spleen in 2006 was inevitable, said Lenherr, since “being rock musicians was something we’d always dreamt about.” The heavy-hitting band was getting regular gigs in the Ottawa area, and as far as Montreal and Toronto, before entering The Big Money Shot contest sponsored by radio station Live 88.5 FM. As one of 64 groups in the running, “it was pretty intense,” said Lenherr, but his band members relied on their tight musicianship and aggressively upbeat sound to get noticed. “You don’t want to get cocky, but you have to have some confidence,” he added. After winning the contest, the band hired producer Jon Drew, who has worked with Tokyo Police Club and Alexisonfire, to help record their Semi Truck album, as well as a professional publicist and promoter. This seems to be paying off with an article about the band appearing in UMM (Urban Male Magazine), some 7,000 Twitter followers, and now the first Silvergun and Spleen single, Crack, picked up for regular rotation at the Live 88.5 FM station. Despite his group’s distinctly urban sound, Lenherr believes some rural sensibilities are retained in the hard rock influences that lie beneath the synthesizers. “I might live in Ottawa, but I’ll always have my rural roots.” Tickets to the Rimbey Grand Hotel performance are $20 (which includes a copy of the soon-to-be-released CD) from the hotel or by visiting www.silvergunandspleen.com. lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

FAIR ROYALTY

You can’t always protect kids

Photo by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Taylor Skramstad, a 2012 Fair Royalty Representative, rides and waves to the grandstand crowds in front of the rodeo arena on the final night of the 146th annual Walla Walla Fair and Frontier Days in Walla Walla, Wash. on Sunday. Skramstad shared Fair Royalty Representative honors with Joycelin Munden at Washington State’s oldest fair. The Fair concluded Sunday night with the PRCA Rodeo finals.

Dear Annie: My husband and I are trying to raise our three children in a traditional, conservative environment, but my in-laws undermine our values. We recently went on a cruise with them, along with my husband’s brother and niece and her live-in boyfriend. At one point, my oldest daughter didn’t feel well, so I took her back to the cabin for a couple of hours. When we found the rest of the family, they were having a drinkfest right in front of our 14-year-old daughter and 12-year-old son. Not only that, but they were buying alcohol for the niece and her boyfriend, both of whom are under 21. From the looks of the empties on the table, this had been going on for the entire two hours. Most of them were drunk. Mind you, my husband was taking part, as well, which infuriated me. But I was even angrier with my mother-in-law, because I feel that women should be protectors of their children and grandchildren, instead of enablers. My mother-in-law even made a point to tell our daughters that the niece had been living with her boyfriend for more than a year, which seemed to put her stamp of approval on the arrangement. My kids didn’t know this, nor did they need to. They don’t live near their cousin. My mother-in-law is well aware of the values we teach, but if I say anything, she says I’m judging her and being disrespectful. We spent very little time with the family for the rest of the trip because they wanted to party and we wanted a more wholesome environment. How do we handle this type of situation when it comes up again? — Kids First Dear Kids: Please understand that you cannot control what other people do, only how you respond. You also cannot control every environment, so use these situations as learning experiences. Talk to your kids calmly about what’s going on and how you feel about it. Don’t vilify your in-laws, but be prepared for their continued inappropriate behaviour. Your kids undoubtedly will encounter other such situations when you are not around, and the hope is that they

will remember the good judgment and values you have taught them. And please stop blaming your mother-in-law. Your husband should have MITCHELL been the protec& SUGAR tor of his own children. Dear Annie: My wife’s uncle had a laryngectomy a few years ago. He now breathes through the stoma in his throat and also discharges phlegm through it. He doesn’t cover the opening with mesh. I hate to sound uncaring, but he constantly coughs into a tissue that he then lays on our countertops, dining room table or wherever else. This is not only unsanitary, but gross. When he leaves, we have to use antibacterial wipes on everything he touched. If we were to say anything to him about this, he would be upset and probably not speak to us again. We are running out of excuses to avoid his visits and hope he reads your column and makes the connection. — Germ Concerned Dear Germ: Someone who uses a tissue to expel anything should not leave it around, especially on a surface where food is served or where others have to dispose of it. This is simple courtesy. The next time your uncle visits, discreetly place a small wastebasket near him “for his convenience.” Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Syrians gather by the rubble of a house, destroyed from Syrian forces shelling early Monday, in the Syrian town of Azaz, on the outskirts of Aleppo.

Syrian government says there will be no dialogue with rebels by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BEIRUT — The Syrian regime said Monday there will be no dialogue with the opposition before the army crushes the rebels, the latest sign that President Bashar Assad is determined to solve the crisis on the battlefield even if many more of his people have to pay with their lives. The statement comes a day after activists reported that August was the bloodiest month since the uprising began in March 2011. “There will be no dialogue with the opposition prior to the Syrian army’s imposition of security and stability in all parts of the country,” Information Minister Omran al-Zoebi told reporters at a news conference in Damascus. The opposition has long rejected any talks with the regime until Assad is removed from power. Muhieddine Lathkani, an opposition figure based in Britain, responded to the minister’s comments by saying “the key to any dialogue will be the departure of Assad and dismantling of the regime’s security agencies that committed all these crimes.” Lathkani told The Associated Press by telephone that after that happens, there could be a dialogue. Earlier in the day, the new U.N. envoy to Syria acknowledged that brokering an end to the civil war will be a “very, very difficult” task. Activists on Sunday said some 5,000 people were killed in August, the highest toll in the 17-month-old uprising and more than three times the monthly average. At the same time, the U.N. children’s fund, UNICEF, said 1,600 were killed last week alone, also the highest figure for the entire revolt. The two major activists groups raised their total death toll for the entire revolt to at least 23,000 and as high as 26,000. The civil war witnessed a major turning point in August when Assad’s forces began widely using air power for the first time to try to put down the revolt. The fighting also reached Syria’s largest city, Aleppo, which had been relatively quiet for most of the uprising. Last week, Assad said in an interview that his armed forces will need time to defeat the rebels, an acknowledgement that his regime is struggling to defeat the tenacious rebels and another indication that the civil war will be even more drawn out and bloody. In the latest violence on Monday, activists said more than 100 people were killed — many of them in two air raids that knocked out large parts of buildings in the northern province of Aleppo. Government warplanes bombed the town of Al-Bab killing at least 19 people and the Aleppo neighbourhood of Myasar where 10 people, including four children, were killed. The two main activist groups, the British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and the Local Coordination Committees, said the airstrikes targeted a residential area in the northern town of al-Bab, about 30 kilometres (20 miles) from the Turkish border. The Observatory said 19 people were killed in the air raid; the LCC put the death toll at 25. An amateur video posted online showed men frantically searching for bodies in the rubble of a white building smashed into a pile of debris. The authenticity of the video could not be independently verified. An amateur video from Myasar showed men digging through the rubble and cutting metal to pick up the dead buried under the debris. A dead girl and a man were seen being removed in the video. Hisham Jaber, a retired Leba-

nese army general who heads a Beirut-based think-tank , said the government is using MiG warplanes to bomb targets on the ground with missiles ranging between 50 kilograms (110 pounds) and 200 kilograms (440 pounds). “Those bombs fall in a shape that looks like a barrel, then explode when they hit the ground,” he said. Syrian officials said a bomb attached to a taxi blew up in the Damascus suburb of Jaramana, killing five people and wounding 23. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief the media. Activists, meanwhile, reported scattered violence in regions across the country, including the Damascus suburbs, the region of Deir el-Zour in the east, Daraa in the south and Idlib and Aleppo in the north. The Observatory said 100 people were killed Monday while the LCC put the number at 205, many of them in Aleppo province. Diplomatic efforts to solve the seemingly intractable conflict have failed so far. A peace plan by former U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan never got off the ground and Annan quit his post as special U.N. envoy. He was replaced Saturday by Lakhdar Brahimi, a 78-year-old former Algerian foreign minister. Brahimi, who also served as a U.N. envoy to Afghanistan and Iraq, commended Annan on his work, saying he did “everything possible.” “We discussed this several times and I can’t think of anything that I would have done differently from him,” Brahimi told the BBC in an interview. “It is definitely a very, very difficult mission.” He added that he is “scared of the weight of the responsibility” and that he is “standing in front of a brick wall. ... We’ll have to see if we can go around that wall.” In Damascus, Information Minister al-Zoebi pledged that Syria will cooperate with the new U.N. envoy. “We will give him maximum assistance the way we did with Kofi Annan.” The Assad regime made similar public statements when it signed on to Annan’s peace plan, only to frequently ignore or outright violate its commitments by refusing to pull its troops out of cities and cease its shelling of opposition areas. Al-Zoebi sought to shift some of the responsibility for the future success or failure of Brahimi’s mission onto the shoulders of Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar — three of the harshest critics of the Syrian regime and strong supporters of the rebels trying to overthrow Assad. The Syrian minister did not confirm or deny whether Syrian authorities are holding foreign journalists who entered the country illegally, but said that any person who does so, whether a Syrian or a foreigner, will be referred to judicial authorities. He reassured reporters, however, that if any journalists are held by authorities “they will receive special treatment even though they violated Syrian laws.” He asked journalists at the news conference to give his office any names they have of reporters that they know with certainty are held by authorities. At least three journalists are missing in Syria and are believed to be held by the regime. Alhurra TV correspondent Bashar Fahmi, a Jordanian citizen of Palestinian origin, and his Turkish cameraman, Cuneyt Unal, are said to have been captured in the city of Aleppo after entering Syria last month. The third journalist, American Austin Tice, has reported on the conflict for The Washington Post, McClatchy Newspapers and other media outlets, is also reported missing in Syria.

Obama derides Romney’s ‘last century ideas’ DEMOCRATS ARE BRACING TO FIGHT BACK ABOUT MISINFORMATION ROMNEY’S REPUBLICANS ARE USING

U.S. PRESIDENTIAL RACE BY THE CANADIAN PRESS WASHINGTON — U.S. President Barack Obama heads to North Carolina this week to rally Democratic troops and defend his four years in the Oval Office against what his campaign has branded a litany of lies from Republicans hell-bent on denying him a second term. At the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, feisty Democrats are bracing to fight back against the misinformation they insist is being knowingly disseminated by Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan on everything from the president’s new welfare directives to his plans for Medicare and his infamous “you didn’t build that” remarks. “On the ballot is nothing less than the character of our country,” Nancy Pelosi, the minority leader of the U.S. House of Representatives, told a breakfast meeting of California delegates. “Obstruction is their political philosophy. They don’t believe in a public role.” Obama, meantime, in a campaign appearance in Ohio, provided yet another clue to his party’s line of attack, not just at the convention but in the 12 weeks leading up to the November vote: Romney’s ideas are a throwback to an era long past. “Despite all the challenges that we face in this new century, we saw three straight days of an agenda out of the last century,” Obama said of last week’s Republican convention as he addressed autoworkers in Toledo on Labour Day. “It was a rerun. You might as well have watched it on black-and-white TV, with some rabbit ears on there. It should have been on Nick at Nite.” He added: “There was a lot of ’hard truths’ and ’bold choices,’ they said, but nobody ever bothered to tell you what they really were. And when Gov. Romney had his chance to let you in on the secret sauce of job creation, he did not offer you a single new idea. It was just a retread of the same old policies that have been sticking it to the middle class for years.” Democrats gathering in Charlotte were fired up on Monday, the day be-

Prince Harry makes first appearance since nude photos surfaced LONDON — Prince Harry has made his first public appearance since nude photos of him made international headlines. A fully clothed Harry attended an awards ceremony Monday for the charity WellChild to celebrate the lives of seriously ill children and the doctors who care for them. The prince, dressed in a smart grey suit, made no reference to the publication of the pictures, which captured him 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. The third in line to Britain’s throne appeared relaxed as he gave a speech and chatted with the children at the ceremony, held at a London hotel. Earlier Monday, a six-year-old boy who was due to be presented with an award by Harry had told ITV News that he would tell the prince: “I’m glad you’ve got your clothes on.” But the boy, who has acute leukemia, did not end up making the cheeky comment when he met the prince. Harry himself inadvertently drew some laughs from the audience when he said that he was “not shy.” “All of you — children, families, nurses, doctors, carers, volunteers — are, quite frankly, too remarkable for me adequately to describe with mere words,” he said. “But never one to be shy in coming forward, I’ll give it a go.”

22 murders in two months connected to elections RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil — There have been 22 murders connected to upcoming municipal campaigns for mayor or city council in Brazil during the past 60 days, leading 410 towns to ask for help from elite federal police, according to a report from O Globo newspaper on Monday. The numbers leading up to the October elections are worrisome but not unusual, said Gilson Conzatti, the president of a national group representing city council members. Conzatti says local elections can threaten entrenched power structures that respond violently. A survey of candidates in Brazil’s 5,565 towns and cities by Conzatti’s organization showed about 5 per cent of candidates had suffered some threat or attack. “Local elections mess with local power structures, and soon you have

fore the official start to the convention, even as a new poll suggested Romney is leading the president 47 per cent to 43 per cent in North Carolina. The state’s voters cast their ballots for Obama by the narrowest of margins in 2008. Patrick Gaspard, executive director of the Democratic National Committee, was dismissive of the survey in morning remarks to delegates and the media. Instead, he urged delegates to get to work knocking on doors while reminding them of one of the biggest achievements of Obama’s presidency. “While some yahoos like Donald Trump were running around trying to find the president’s birth certificate, he was too busy smoking out Osama bin Laden and a whole host of people who were threatening the country,” Gaspard said. Clint Eastwood’s bizarre speech to the Republican convention last week was also a target. Lee Saunders, the president of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, had his own mocking, empty-chair conversation with an invisible Eastwood before kicking the chair off the stage in disdain. “So Dirty Harry, make my day,” he said as Ohio delegates erupted in cheers. “We’re gonna kick some ass in November.” Heavier hitters will be on hand for the convention’s evening events. They’re aiming to bring back into the Democratic fold Americans hard-hit by tough economic times and no longer enamoured of their president the way they were four years ago, when Obama was elected on a soaring message of hope and change. First lady Michelle Obama, whose popularity far out-performs her husband’s in the court of public opinion, will take centre stage on Tuesday night while former president Bill Clinton is in the primetime spotlight on Wednesday. Vice President Joe Biden will be the warm-up act for his boss on Thursday night before Obama formally accepts the party’s nomination. Clinton’s at-bat for Obama comes after a gradual thawing of once icy relations between the two that began with

President Barack Obama speaks during a campaign rally at Scott High School Monday, in Toledo, Ohio. a friendly round of golf last September, according to a New Yorker magazine piece that’s been the talk of political circles for days in D.C., Tampa and Charlotte. The speech from the 42nd U.S. president will reportedly emphasize how Obama’s fiscal policies proposals are similar to the ones that resulted in the country’s longest stretch of economic growth in the 1990s — the years when Clinton was in the Oval Office. Throughout much of his political career, Obama hasn’t always bought into the belief that Clinton had been a bold, transformative Democratic president. Obama’s bruising primary battle against Hillary Clinton only further added to the animosity between the junior senator from Illinois and his rival’s larger-than-life husband. Obama was reportedly miffed that Clinton once referred to his candidacy as a “fairytale.” Clinton was also snidely dismissive of Obama’s primary victory in South Carolina in ’08, comparing it to Rev. Jesse Jackson’s wins in the same state in 1984 and 1988. Those remarks were maligned as an attempt to inject race

into the already tense primary battle. The New Yorker piece, by Ryan Lizza, alleges Clinton once told the late Ted Kennedy of Obama: “A few years ago, this guy would have been carrying our bags.” Obama didn’t seek or take advice from Clinton during his first year in the Oval Office, a perceived snub that wounded Clinton. But as 2012 drew nearer, Lizza reported, Obama saw political advantage in reaching out to Clinton. “For Clinton, Obama’s solicitousness is a welcome affirmation of his legacy and, perhaps, an opportunity to boost his wife’s presidential prospects,” Lizza wrote. “For Obama, the reconciliation could help him win in November. It’s also an ideological turnaround: Obama, who rose to the Oval Office in part by pitching himself as the antidote to Clintonism, is now presenting himself as its heir apparent. It’s a shrewd, even Clintonian, tactical manoeuver.” While Clinton is now acting as a high-level adviser to Obama, it appeared Monday old tensions may die hard.

neighbour fighting with neighbour, shootings, agression of all sorts,” he said. Often, the politicians themselves are unprepared to resolve differences at the ballot box, Conzatti said. “If they really prized democracy and the respect for rights, they’d fight in the way they should fight -- with ideas, projects, attitudes,” he said. “But unfortunately elections in Brazil are not always like this.” Political science researcher Ricardo Ismael of Rio de Janeiro’s Catholic University agrees local elections in Brazil tend to be more violent than those for state or federal level office. “Municipal elections introduce that local element, small towns with few police officers, where there are old political bosses who won’t admit losing, and that go about defending their turf in an old fashioned way,” Ismael said.

Roasted chickens found stuffed with cocaine LAGOS, Nigeria — The roasted chickens had an unusual stuffing — $150,000 worth of cocaine, according to Nigerian police. A Nigerian mechanic who struggled in Brazil for more than six years had hoped the drugs would buy him a life of luxury in his native land, Nigerian authorities said Monday. “This was like a retirement plan for him,” said Mitchell Ofoyeju, spokesman for the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency. The accused was arrested over the weekend at the airport in Lagos after he came in from Sao Paulo with 2.6 kilograms (5.7 pounds) of cocaine, Ofoyeju said. Photos from the agency showed egg-shaped packages wrapped in gold aluminum foil and tucked into the browned chickens. The suspect, Vincent Chegini Chinweuwa, could not immediately be reached for comment as he remained in custody Monday. Nigeria is a major transit point for drugs coming from Latin America and going to Europe or the United States but recent security improvements are cutting into that dubious distinction.

Villagers kill 67 alleged cattle rustlers ANTANANARIVO, Madagascar — Madagascar’s police chief says villagers attacked by cattle rustlers turned on the alleged thieves and killed 67 of them. Gen. Bruno Razafindrakoto told The Associated Press that about 100 cattle thieves on Friday attacked three villages near Fort-Dapuhin, more than 1,000 kilometres (620 miles) from Antananarivo, the capital of this Indian Ocean island. He said villagers armed with axes, spears and machetes “defended their belongings” and killed at least 67 of the attackers.

Health Canada finds new source of TB vaccine Photo by THE CANADIAN PRESS

West Nile virus count surges, with 82 confirmed or probable cases THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — West Nile virus activity is surging in southern Ontario and the province may be on track to equal its worst year ever in terms of total cases, an official with Public Health Ontario said Wednesday. “It’s near impossible to predict what the future holds for West Nile virus in the next number of weeks,” said Dr. Colin Lee, acting medical director of communicable diseases at Public Health Ontario. “But what it would be fair to say is that there will be mosquitoes still infected with the West Nile virus likely till at least mid-September.” It’s also a very bad year for West Nile infections in the United States. On Wednesday the Centers for Disease Control reported that 1,590 cases have been recorded so far in the U.S., and 66 people have died. That’s the highest number of cases by late August that the U.S. has seen since West Nile virus emerged in North America in 1999. Public Health Ontario reported that

as of Tuesday, there have been 82 people who have been confirmed or are deemed probable West Nile cases in the province this year. That’s higher than any comparable period in Ontario since 2002, the province’s worst West Nile year on record. In 2002, Ontario recorded 186 West Nile virus cases by the end of August. By the time the 2002 season was over, 394 cases were recorded. With several weeks of mosquito activity likely ahead and a long incubation period for the disease, this year’s case count could approach that territory. “I think that’s certainly possible, that we could reach what we did in 2002,” Lee said. The incubation period — the time from infection to manifestation of symptoms — can be as long as 14 days with West Nile infection. That means people being infected now may not come to light for several weeks. It could easily take that amount of time for people who are going to become severely ill to develop symptoms, seek medical care, get tested and then receive a test result.

TORONTO — Health Canada has secured a new supply of tuberculosis vaccine, filling a void left when the country’s sole supplier recalled all its product earlier this year. The department says it has entered a 19-month contract with Japan BCG Laboratory of Tokyo to buy TB vaccine. The vaccine was given expedited approval, which was necessary because it was not previously licensed for use in Canada. Canada hasn’t had a supplier of TB vaccine since mid-June, when Sanofi Pasteur recalled 47,000 doses of TB vaccine because of fears it might have been contaminated. The building where the vaccine was made was flooded last fall; Health Canada inspectors later found mould in what should have been a sterile manufacturing area. Sanofi is working to repair the facility, which is in Toronto, but it doesn’t expect to have product back on the market until the end of 2013.

Tuberculosis vaccine is known as BCG vaccine, named after Albert Calmette and Camille Guerin who developed the strain used in it back in the early 1900s. The vaccine uses a live but weakened strain of Mycobacterium bovis, the bacterium that causes tuberculosis in cows. It is related to the bacterium that causes TB in people. BCG vaccine is not widely used in Canada. It is mainly employed to protect young children living in First Nations and Inuit communities where the risk of TB outbreaks is high. A statement from Health Canada suggests it may be awhile still before the vaccine is available for administration. “We expect that the BCG vaccine will be made available to the communities that need it in the coming months,” the department says. When it became apparent the country’s sole supplier would be unable to fill orders for at least a year-and-a half, the Public Health Agency of Canada reached out to five other manu-
