Fluoridation showdown OPPOSING SIDES OF DEBATE SQUARE OFF AT PUBLIC MEETING BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF The two sides of the fluoridated water debate was argued at the last public consultation before city council or the public decides the fate of fluoride in the Red Deer’s water supply. About 50 people attended a fluoride public education session in the afternoon at the Sheraton Red Deer Hotel and another 50 attended a session that allowed citizens to present their cases to city council later Tuesday evening. Dr. James Beck argued against fluoridated water saying that fluoride is ineffective in fighting cavities, unsafe and unethical. He discounted studies that showed fluoride prevents cavities and not harmful to health. Beck is a professor emeritus of medical biophysics at the University of Calgary. He is the author of The Case Against Fluoride.
“The biggest truth and the most obvious argument and one that you don’t need to be a scientist to answer is it’s unethical,” said Beck. “You are mass medicating. You are forcing people to take a medicine whether they want it or not without ever having been examined by a doctor or a dentist and without ever being asked. That’s the most obvious objection they should stop it without question of whether it is effective or safe.” Dr. Digby Horne, a chief medical officer of health for the Central Zone, said community water fluoridation is a safe and cost-effective method of reducing dental caries or cavities. Horne said the cavities are an important health issue and there is no better alternative to fluoride. “At this point several reviews have looked at potential health concerns,” said Horne. “There’s nothing definite. They are saying nothing definite at this time. There’s no negative health affects that we are aware of at this time.”
West Nile kills local horse
On Oct. 29 after debates in council chambers and public consultations, city council will decide whether they will reduce, increase or eliminate fluoride in Red Deer’s water supply or let the citizens decide in a plebiscite next year. A plebiscite outside of a municipal election would carry a price tag between $100,000 and $150,000. Local dentist and fluoride proponent Jo Scalzo has practiced in Red Deer for 31 years and she says she has seen a drastic increase in the number of tooth decay in her patients because of the consumption of pop, juices and sugary drinks. “There’s quite a bit of dissent of having fluoride in the water,” said Scalzo. “I think they are not looking realistically at what will happen here if they take fluoride out. What will we see if there’s no fluoride if there’s no protection? It’s going to be devastating.”

9-11 MEMORIAL
PEOPLE URGED TO TAKE PRECAUTIONS AGAINST MOSQUITOES BY BRENDA KOSSOWAN ADVOCATE STAFF The recent death of a horse should serve as a warning that West Nile Virus is active in the Red Deer area, say veterinarians. Dr. Marcos Lores, a partner in the Alberta Veterinary Centre has issued a statement announcing that a horse treated at his practice had succumbed on Aug. 31 to the disease, which is carried by infected mosquitoes. It is one of only three horses affected in Alberta this year. There were none reported last year. Lores was not available for comment on Tuesday. However, another veterinarian who works with him said the horse died of the severe, neurological form of the disease, which affects both horses and people. Dr. Charlotte MacFarlane said people may feel safe now that the weather has cooled. However, she and her partners are cautioning people to continue their vigilance to protect themselves and their horses from the disease, including having the horses vaccinated against the virus. It is not to late to begin the vaccination regimen for horses, including an initial shot followed by a booster in three to six weeks. Once the horses have had their first shots, the West Nile vaccine can be included with their annual shots, said MacFarlane. Any vaccines delivered now will still offer protection at the start of the season next year, she said. At roughly $40 per horse, the vaccine is relatively inexpensive protection against a disease that can cost thousands of dollars to treat, said MacFarlane. Dr. Gerald Hauer, chief provincial veterinarian for Alberta, said he has received confirmation so far of two other cases of West Nile disease in horses so far this year after having none reported at all in 2011. The other two cases were at Barrhead and Edmonton, said Hauer.

Blackfalds home to new retail concept BY HARLEY RICHARDS ADVOCATE BUSINESS EDITOR
MAINSTREET HARWARE
Peavey Industries Ltd. is launching a new retail concept — and Blackfalds will be the site of its first store. The Red Deer-based retailer, which operates 29 Peavey Mart outlets across the Prairies, plans to open a MainStreet Hardware store in Blackfalds late this fall. If all goes well, similar businesses could pop up in other communities, said Brian Dagg, Peavey Industries’ manager of store operations. Dagg pointed out that MainStreet Hardware will be distinct from the Peavey Mart chain, which is known for its mix of agricultural and hardware supplies, as well as general merchandise. The new store will be geared to the needs of small-town residents, he said, with basic hardware like hand tools and fas-
teners, pet supplies, housewares from cleaning supplies to small appliances, lawn and garden equipment such as barbecues and outdoor furniture, work clothing and paint. “It’s not agriculture. It’s going to be an urban store.” Dagg said Peavey Industries is regularly invited to open Peavey Marts in small communities. Often, the economics simply don’t work. MainStreet Hardware should help bridge the retail gap, he said, giving small-town consumers an alternative to driving to larger communities to fill their basic hardware needs.

Oilsands development about Sylvan skateboard, to exceed new pollution limits BMX park seek BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — Less than two weeks after Alberta enacted legally enforceable pollution limits for its oilsands region, industry figures already suggest they will soon be breached by emissions of two major gases causing acid rain. Regulatory documents for Shell’s proposed Jackpine mine expansion say annual levels of sulphur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide are likely to push past limits contained in the province’s Lower Athabasca Regional Plan if all currently planned developments proceed. The documents, filed late last week, also provide what may be the clearest picture yet of what impact two decades of development have had on northeastern Alberta. “It validates the concern that many stakeholders have raised about the cumulative pace and scale of development,” said Si-
mon Dyer of the Pembina Institute. “It’s the first real test of the (plan).” Shell filed the papers after the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency asked the company to give a clearer account of how the environment of the oilsands region has changed since development began and what part the Jackpine expansion would play. Written by environmental consultants Golder and Associates, the document estimates how levels of the two gases have grown over the years. Average annual levels of sulphur dioxide are estimated at about 20 times what they would naturally be over a large area from Fort MacMurray to about 100 kilometres north. Nitrogen dioxide is estimated to be at least 10 times pre-development levels — although the report acknowledges hard data from that time is spotty. And if all the projects that have been announced publicly or are in the regulatory process go ahead,
the pollutants are projected to exceed what are supposed to be absolute caps. Randall Barrett, director of Alberta Environment’s northern region, said the projections are derived from models deliberately designed to overestimate emissions as a way to ensure caution. “It shows us we have to be very diligent in how we are setting pollution controls for any plants in this area, because the computer models are predicting that we are getting close or over some of the air quality (levels).” Regulators use the models to determine what sort of emission controls to impose on applicants, said Barrett. “What would likely happen is they would go to the most stringent type of air quality pollution control, because the models are predicting you could be over the limit.” Barrett said actual air monitoring data continues to show both sulphur and nitrogen dioxides remain well under their caps.
tax exemption
A Sylvan Lake non-profit group that runs an indoor skateboard and BMX park is hoping to land a tax break. Incline Industries has been operating in town since 2007 and became a non-profit society in 2011. The society is leasing space owned by Illuma Ventures at 4425 50th St. Darcy Carruthers, chairman of Incline Industries Youth Foundation, has requested that the property taxes paid over the last five years since the nonprofit was formed be reimbursed. The total would amount to $53,275. Darren Moore, the town’s director of finance, told council on Monday that Incline appears to meet the requirements for an exemption, but he stopped short of recommending a retroactive exemption dating back five years. Councillors raised a number of concerns about the request because the status of a retail business that will be moving to the Incline site is unclear. Some councillors were concerned that it would be unfair to other businesses if the leasehold site at Incline was given a tax exemption. There was also some question about how the exemption would apply to a neighbouring parking lot. Council deferred making a decision until Incline could provide more information.
STORIES FROM A1
DEBATE: Who will decide? City resident Coreen Evans said the taps to fluoride should be turned off until there are better studies and research showing whether fluoride is safe or harmful. Evans said removing fluoride from the water supply will allow residents to decide for themselves if they want to use fluoride. Fluoridation of Red Deer’s public water supply was mandated by a plebiscite that was held in the 1950s. The water treatment plant is legally required to continue this practice until administration is directed by council to apply for an amendment to the province. Currently the city adds a concentration of less than 0.7 milligrams per litre to the municipal water supply. Earlier this year the city reduced the amount of fluoride to 0.7 milligrams per litre from 0.8 milligrams, in keeping with the latest Health Canada recommendations. The city supplies water to more than 145,000 customers. crhyno@reddeeradvocate.com
DISEASE: Still active One of the horses has recovered while the other died, he said. Reports of the disease typically start to arrive during the period from mid-August to late November, indicating that some mosquitoes remain active despite colder temperatures and overnight frosts, said Hauer. It is possible that they are surviving in protected areas such as barns, he said. Hauer joined MacFarlane in stating that owners can protect their animals by limiting exposure to the disease as much as possible and by ensuring that their horses’ immunity systems are in good order, including keeping the horses vaccinated and dewormed and providing proper nourishment. Humans should also do everything they can to avoid mosquito bites, said Dr. Digby Horne, one of three medical officers of health for the Alberta Health Services Central Zone. Horne said there has been only one report of the disease affecting humans in the Central Zone so far this year and that the likelihood of more infections will reduce with colder weather. However, he also stated that some mosquitoes may survive the cold and that it takes just one bite to pick up an infection. Horne said some people can be infected without experiencing any signs while others may experience headache and fever. Medical attention should be sought as soon as possible for anyone who experiences signs of the neurological form, including tin-

West Nile is transferred by mosquitoes that have picked up the virus from infected birds. The mosquitoes do not pass the disease between infected horses or humans. Alberta Health Services was to slated to release an update today of the status of the disease within the province, said Horne.

celerated when Blackfalds Ace Hardware closed at the end of July. “This opportunity in Blackfalds came up and it’s probably pushing us ahead of our time,” said Dagg, who hopes to open for business by early November. MainStreet Hardware will occupy the same 6,000-square-foot premises at 4910 Broadway Ave. that Ace Hardware used. It’s expected to employ a half-dozen staff, including three or four full-time workers. “We’d love to find a local Blackfalds person for manager,” said Dagg. Because many of the products to be carried by MainStreet Hardware are sold in Peavey Marts, the business will benefit from Peavey Industries’ buying power, he said. “If you’re one (store) trying to buy, it gets very hard to be competitive.” Dagg is optimistic that other MainStreet Hardware stores will follow the Blackfalds prototype. “This is the one that’s going to set the pace for other ones.” hrichards@reddeeradvocate.com

Firefighters gain control of grass fires EVACUEES GO HOME BY THE CANADIAN PRESS LETHBRIDGE — Fire crews doused hot-spots while hundreds of residents returned to their homes less than 24 hours after fleeing from wind-whipped grass fires in southern Alberta. “Things are safe for the public,” Brian Cornforth, fire chief for the city of Lethbridge, said Tuesday. All states of emergency have been lifted but fire crews were on standby in case of any flare-ups. Residents found their homes still standing, although some reported heavy smoke damage. Some outbuildings and sheds were destroyed in the blaze, but no houses. Only one fire-related injury was reported. One fire started on the Blood reserve, possibly by a downed power line, and flames raced across dry fields towards the town of Coalhurst and Lethbridge. About 2,200 residents of Coalhurst were ordered to leave, as well as countless more in Lethbridge County and a trailer park in northwest Lethbridge. Another 850 residents of the town of Milk River, southeast of Lethbridge, had to flee another massive grass fire. Late Monday, residents of

A number of buildings and pieces of machinery were in ruins Tuesday, at the Glen Van Buuren farm in the river valley west of Mountain Meadows near Lethbridge, after a grass fire that started on the Blood Reserve the day before burned a path through the farm yard. Coalhurst were allowed to go home, and on Tuesday morning, Milk River residents got the all-clear to go home. Les Big Swallow lives on the Blood reserve. The inferno swallowed his hay field, burning a few hundred bales and his barn. His house, just a few metres away, was left untouched. He works with Blood Tribe Public Works and spent a lot of Monday afternoon trying to build fireguards. But he said the wind was
swirling so fast it was difficult to keep up and at one point he had to drive his truck through a fence just to get out of the way, damaging his vehicle. On Tuesday, there were a lot of downed power lines, burned fence posts, scorched land and damaged out-buildings and vehicles. Chief Charles Weaselhead says about a dozen homes suffered significant smoke damage. The fire near Lethbridge took out more than 50 square
Peter Lougheed, former Alberta premier, seriously ill THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — Former Alberta premier Peter Lougheed, whose epic battles with Ottawa shaped the province on the national stage, is in a Calgary hospital with what sources say is a serious illness. Lougheed’s family, in a prepared statement Tuesday, asked for privacy and promised updates as warranted. “Peter Lougheed and his family are very thankful for all of your kindness and prayers at this time,” read the release. Lougheed’s Progressive Conservatives turfed the long-governing Social Credit in 1971 and are still in power more than 40 years later. Lougheed, who is 84, led the party until 1985. The Calgary lawyer is credited with transforming the province into an economic power-
house. Along the way he became famous for his fights with then-prime minister Pierre Trudeau over control of Alberta’s oil wealth. Many politicians, including current Premier Alison Redford, cite him as a profoundly influential role model. “Our deepest thoughts and prayers are with the Lougheed family today,” said Kim Misik, a spokeswoman for Redford. “The former premier is someone that our current premier is very fond of and someone she looks to as a mentor.” Redford is in Asia on a trade mission and doesn’t return to Canada until Monday. She has known Lougheed dating back to her earliest years in politics. His public endorsement of her leadership in last spring’s provincial election was seen as a important boost that helped the Tories return
kilometres of land, said Cornforth. “The fire ground speed was estimated to be at 140 metres per minute, so that’s a fastmoving fire.” The fire chief said the coordination between local fire crews and provincial agencies was “absolutely phenomenal” and he thanked the public for co-operating. But there were some who apparently weren’t so co-operative. Three men have been charged with refusing to leave
an evacuated area. Lethbridge police were blocking roads on Monday when they were confronted by a group of four men who had already been asked several times to leave. The men refused and were arrested for obstruction. One man was co-operative, but police say the others resisted and a police officer was hit in the back of the head with a broomstick while another was kicked in the face. Fred Watmough, 65, has been charged with assaulting a peace officer, assaulting a peace officer with a weapon, resisting arrest and obstructing a peace officer. Kevin Watmough, 30, and Allan Watmough, 28, have each been charged with obstructing a peace officer and resisting arrest. Alberta Municipal Affairs Minister Doug Griffiths said there is no damage estimate yet as the situation will be assessed in the days ahead, but he did note several farmers did lose crops in the massive blaze. The Canadian Red Cross provided help to 379 individuals at three reception centres Monday night when thousands were evacuated. Municipal and provincial officials were in the area Tuesday. Lethbridge Mayor Rajko Dodic and County Reeve Lorne Hickey surveyed the damage from the air.
WATCH FOR OUR UPCOMING FEATURE CELEBRATING
to power. Many well-wishers, including opposition politicians, took to Twitter and Facebook on Tuesday to reach out to the former premier and his relatives. “Our prayers are with premier Lougheed and his family,” Alberta Liberal Leader Raj Sherman wrote on Twitter. Despite being out of power for a generation, Lougheed has continued to wield considerable influence on public policy. He has spoken out in support of bilingualism, criticized the Kyoto accord to cut greenhouse gas emissions and cautioned against unbridled growth in the oilsands. As premier he transformed Alberta from a largely agrarian region to a petro-powered player both nationally and internationally.

Room for compassion in the courts An editorial from the Winnipeg Free Press, published Sept. 11: The 23-year-old student looter who became the poster child of the Vancouver Stanley Cup riot in June 2011 following the Vancouver Canucks Game 7 Stanley Cup loss to the Boston Bruins caught a break from the judge who sentenced her last week. University of British Columbia student Camille Cacnio, whose notoriety went viral after a widely viewed video posted on Internet websites captured her carrying pairs of stolen pants from the smashed-out storefront of Vancouver clothier Black & Lee Tuxedos, had earlier pleaded guilty to theft. The riot, which caused an estimated $4 million in damage over several blocks of downtown Vancouver, saw rioters smash windows, set cars on fire and loot stores until police in riot gear and on horseback brought crowds under control. When the video and still photos of Cacnio’s theft appeared on the Internet, she turned herself in to the police. She subsequently posted a rambling, 3,500-word apology on the Internet that attempted to explain her actions by
OTHERVIEW saying she was drunk and caught up in mob mentality. Cacnio was, rightly, spared jail by a compassionate judge, who concluded the 15 months of online and mainstream media attacks she’d been subjected to since the riot were more than enough to ensure she’d learned her lesson. The Crown prosecutor had sought 15 to 30 days in jail, to be served on weekends. But the judge declined to incarcerate Cacnio. He gave her a suspended sentence, two years’ probation, a daily nighttime curfew and ordered her to perform 150 hours of community service. Although the judge declined to jail Cacnio, he denied her the conditional discharge sought by her lawyer, which would have allowed her to avoid a criminal record. Only a handful of the 140 people facing charges arising from the riot have been sentenced to date. But so far, only Cacnio and one other rioter, who was sentenced to a term of house
arrest, have avoided jail. Online reaction to the sentence hasn’t been kind to the judge. Most online bloggers and posters criticize the decision as too lenient. But some judicial compassion was in order. In the months after the Game 7 loss, Cacnio became the favourite target of online “shaming” websites that replayed video of her crime, attacked her at length and received posted comments — consistently negative — from all and sundry. She lost three jobs due to all the publicity and had to put her education on hold because of harassment at school. The judge properly took into account the raft of extra-legal consequences she’d suffered prior to pronouncing sentence. The Criminal Code’s sentencing principles were also duly heeded. The Criminal Code expressly provides that a judge must consider all other penalties before ordering incarceration — particularly in the case of a first-time offender such Cacnio. Judges, except for offences for which Canada’s Criminal Code prescribes a minimum sentence, have fairly broad discretion as to what penalty
should be imposed. The Criminal Code also stipulates a sentencing judge must consider certain principles, including that the penalty imposed should be reduced to account for any relevant “mitigating circumstances relating to the offence or offender.” Cacnio had mitigating factors, at least post-riot, in spades, due at least in part to her notoriety. In the 15 months since the Vancouver riot, she’d become a lightning rod for Internet attacks, publicly whipped across cyberspace in blogs, tweets and video postings. The presiding judge was well aware of her celebrity-defendant status. And Cacnio’s lawyer, at her sentencing hearing, underlined the extraordinary amount of “post-riot public reaction” her case had generated. Cacnio’s sentence was just and appropriate. It was also tougher than some web critics allow. Long after her name fades from public memory, she’ll continue to live with the stigma and consequences of a criminal conviction.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Silence on torture indicates acceptance Cameron Kennedy’s editorial of Aug. 30, concerning the federal public safety minister’s directives allowing CSIS, the RCMP and Canada Border Services to use information obtained (in other countries) by torture, was in my view well-written and timely. It encouraged thought about possible future ramifications of decisions made in the interests of “keeping Canada safe.” I also note that the “get tough on crime” supporters are being heard from, including the very political and vehement response from Minister Toews himself. Several decades ago Canada joined most democratic nations in signing and ratifying the International Covenant on Human Rights. Our governments since have upheld its articles reasonably well — until now. Article 5 is brief and very explicit: No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. Our enforcement agencies have used isolation, sleep deprivation and psychological intimidation on suspects, but apparently that is now acceptable because “the end justifies the means.” We even look the other way on methods like waterboarding, when employed by our democratic neighbours. However, condoning the use of any form of torture as long as it is done third-hand and not by Canadian hands is now apparently an acceptable way for Canada to obtain information. Never mind that under such torture, human beings will reach the point of confessing almost anything just to get the

torture to cease. In all my years of letter-writing in support of Amnesty International, I have learned that undemocratic countries use incommunicado detention, threats to families, and various levels of torture to obtain confessions from human rights defenders and political dissidents who express opinions contrary to the current powers. Such treatment can, of course, cause permanent health damage or even death. The confessions obtained are usually recanted by the victims; and obviously have no legal credibility in legitimate courts of law. So how useful is that to Canada’s safety? It seems to me that our agencies, and government, could be manipulated by undemocratic countries into making really bad judgements based on such evidence. As well, Canada could now be perceived as hypocritical and untrustworthy by our international partners. After all, Canada received awards for our humanitarian handling of refugees — and then we clamped down and hardened our system to almost stop such claimants. Canada signed on to the Kyoto Accord on the global environment — and then blandly walked away from our international commitment. And now, we have become complicit in condoning the use of torture, using our own safety as an excuse, to renege on our commitment to upholding basic human rights. Silence on this contagious double standard indicates acceptance. Such a politically cynical stance is not part of my Canada.

Bike lanes hinder traffic The city’s elected officials have done it again. They, of all people, know the city is only going to grow, which means more traffic. Instead of finding ways to speed up travel by motor vehicles, they find ways to hinder it. We have the so called “calming lanes,” which any one that drives a vehicle knows are a hindrance — hundreds of thousands of dollars spent on 39th Street east of 30th Avenue, where the said the barricades erected are only temporary and are to be removed once the trees mature. Well, the type of trees they put in will take another 20 years to be of any value for the purpose they were planted. Now we have the bike lanes, which are another bad move on council’s part. They should have sent out someone to spend the day on 39th and 55th streets, as well as others places where they put bike lanes, to count the number of vehicles and bicycles using these roadways. The number of people riding bicycles to work, etc. is very minimal, and then you have to take into account the number of days a person can ride a bike in any given year in this city. If they did do a count, they haven’t told us or given any stats on it. Cold fall days are fast approaching, and then winter. How many bicycles will be ridden during the next several months, and yet the bike lanes will be there all during this time. If there is an accident between a vehicle and a bike on a snowcovered road, who will be at fault as you won’t be able to see the markings? The idea of bike lanes sounds good but is not practical the way it was done here. I am sure you will see the few that

Even if the cyclist is in the right, that won’t help that person’s injuries. It is time for council to listen to the people and make changes to this plan, which should have been more thoughtout before spending our valued tax dollars on it.

Bike lanes offer a more comfortable ride On the quieter streets of Red Deer, I feel very comfortable riding on the street. On busy streets, I ride on the sidewalks so not to slow traffic or to reduce the chance of being struck by a vehicle. However, I find riding on the sidewalks to be a jarring experience as I ride over the expansion joints of the sidewalks. I am pleased to see space made available on the new bike lanes and now feel more comfortable riding in the smooth bike lanes of busier streets. As a motorist, I am now more aware of the space provided for bicycles. I believe that the bike lanes should not cause traffic congestion and on some street locations, a bike lane that causes congestion might bring more harm than good. As a cyclist, I find motorists considerate of myself when riding and I look forward to more riding throughout the year.

PM’s chief of staff investigated for possible conflict of interest BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
Photo by THE CANADIAN PRESS
An unidentified man is seen handcuffed and chained in this undated handout photo from Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak. The group, which represents 30 northern Manitoba First Nations, says it was taken in August inside a hockey arena dressing room in Lac Brochet.
Hockey dressing rooms used as holding cells in northern Manitoba WINNIPEG — A group of northern Manitoba chiefs is complaining that some aboriginals are being chained up in a hockey arena dressing room instead of an RCMP holding cell because of scarce police resources. “When you look at all these little (non-aboriginal) towns coming down the highway, there are police stations in every town, but when you look at First Nations communities ... you won’t see nothing at all,” said David Harper, grand chief of the Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak, which represents 30 northern communities. “You’ll see a little gate with a trailer and an (empty) RCMP police truck and that’s it. Is that public safety?” Harper and other chiefs circulated a photo Tuesday of an unidentified man handcuffed and chained and lying on a concrete floor. They said the picture is of a man who was arrested for an al-
cohol offence last month on the Northlands Denesuline reserve near Lac Brochet. They also said the man was held in the community’s arena because Mounties, who are based in another community, have refused to let band members use the RCMP’s local detention facility. “They’re more concerned about liability than safety. As a chief representing my community members, safety comes first,” said Northlands Chief Joe Antsanen. Three other people have been detained in the dressing room in recent months, Antsanen said, which raises concerns about safety for other people using the arena. The leaders say part of the problem is that the Manitoba government appears to be uninterested in ensuring there are more band constables. Walter Spence, chief of the Fox Lake Cree Nation, said his community no longer has any band constables and must rely on RCMP officers 50 kilometres away in Gillam. “We often have to wait several
hours for the RCMP to respond to urgent calls from my community,” Spence said. Only RCMP officers and trained band constables can use the holding cells. “In the interest of public safety and lawful confinement, RCMP detention facilities are required to be staffed and utilized by trained personnel and authorized peace officers,” Mountie media liaison Miles Hiebert wrote in an email. The chiefs want the RCMP and the Manitoba government to station more Mounties and band constables on remote First Nations reserves. They also want a regional aboriginal police force similar to the Nishnawbe-Aski Police Service, which serves 35 communities across northern Ontario. Manitoba Justice Minister Andrew Swan said he has already pressed the issue with the federal government, but has yet to get an answer. The federal government, however, said the issue lies with the province.

Tuition fees rising faster than incomes and inflation, report warns OTTAWA — A new report suggests tuition fees are becoming less affordable for many Canadians, forcing an increasing number of students to take on heavy debt loads. The report from the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives shows that since 1990, average tuition and compulsory fees for undergraduates have risen by 6.2 per cent annually — three times the rate of inflation. It now costs, on average, $6,186 a year to study at a Canadian university, and that doesn’t include the cost of books or food or lodging. The left-leaning think-tank adds that extrapolating from past growth and announced government intentions, that number will rise to $7,330 in four years. The findings are in line with other reports on the subject. A recent survey from the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants found that setting aside sufficient funds for tuition was becoming increasingly difficult for the average family. Nearly a quarter — almost twice as many as two years ago — reported they were falling behind on saving for their children’s education. Also Tuesday, the Bank of Montreal released a survey showing that 60 per cent of parents who have not opened a Registered Education Savings Plan say they cannot afford to contribute. The tax-exempt plan offers a federal top-up on contributions of up to $500 a year per child. The CCPA report also shows there is wide divergence in the cost of post-secondary education across the country. It ranges from lowcost provinces such as Newfoundland and Labrador ($2,861) and Quebec ($3,278), to high-cost jurisdictions like Ontario ($7,513) and Alberta
($7,061). In four years, tuition for undergraduates will vary from a low of $2,893 in Newfoundland to a high of $9,231 in Ontario. For Quebec, the report shows fees would have gone up to $4,472
Saturday September 15
if the recently defeated Liberal government’s controversial proposals for increases were adopted. That would move the province from the second least expensive to third, behind Manitoba and Newfoundland.

The economy has affected many individuals, and those in the health care industry see it firsthand. When families have to choose between groceries on the table and health care, these decisions can truly be heart-wrenching. For this reason, Dr. Michael Dolynchuk and his team are hosting Central Alberta’s
3rd Annual ‘Dentistry from the Heart’ dental charity event. They are opening their doors at:
VILLAGE MALL 6320 Gaetz Ave (beside Shopper’s Drug Mart)
INGLEWOOD STATION 3-Ironside (at 40th Ave)
Dr. Dolynchuk says ‘Some people just aren’t getting the dental care they need because they simply cannot afford it. Even with this positive economy, dentistry has become a luxury in some households. They will provide checkups, fillings, extractions, and X-Rays. Red Deer has been great to me and my dental team – and it is time for us to give back and lend a hand to those most needing it in the best way we know possible.’

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s chief of staff, Nigel Wright, is now the subject of a formal conflict of interest examination by the federal ethics watchdog. Mary Dawson’s office confirmed Tuesday that the ethics commissioner has launched an examination of Wright’s dealings with Barrick Gold Corp. (TSX:ABX), under section 45 of the Conflict of Interest Act. That section empowers the commissioner to act on her own initiative — without waiting for an MP or senator to request an investigation — if she has reason to believe someone has contravened the act. “The fact that she’s decided, on her own, to look into this and launch an investigation speaks to the seriousness of the allegation,” said New Democrat ethics critic Charlie Angus, who had been contemplating asking Dawson to investigate the matter. At issue is whether Wright improperly used his influential position to further the private interests of friends at Barrick. The company lobbied Wright on three separate occasions in May despite his personal connections to the company’s founding family. Dawson was unaware of the potential conflict until her office was asked about the matter last month by The Canadian Press. Dawson “followed up” with Wright and then pondered the matter for several weeks before launching the formal examination. Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird has said Barrick, which has mining operations in Argentina, called Wright to discuss Harper’s performance at the Summit of the Americas in April. The prime minister infuriated the Argentine government by blocking a declaration on its claim to the Falkland Islands. Baird has insisted Wright did nothing wrong; he merely listened to Barrick’s concerns, said nothing, passed the matter over to others responsible for the file and was not involved in any decision relating to the company. Baird has not explained why Wright would have felt it necessary to participate in three separate calls — on May 14, 25 and 29 — if he had nothing to say and no responsibility for the matter. Wright has known Barrick founder and board chairman Peter Munk for years. He’s particularly close to Munk’s son, Anthony, who sits on Barrick’s board, and is godfather to Anthony’s son.

L
ast weekend 65 young skiers from nordic ski clubs from across the province travelled to Red Deer to participate in a Cross Country Alberta InterClub Provincial Dry Land Training Camp. Red Deer Nordic Ski Club organized two full days of dry land ski specific training, which involved head coaches from around the province, as well as yoga, running and strength conditioning coaches from Red Deer. “We’re all working together to
start building a stronger province and hopefully do some good things for these athletes” said Graeme Moore, head coach of the Red Deer Nordic Ski Club. The camp started with fun games to get the skiers warmed up for a long day of training before heading out on the bike paths in the river valley for some skate skiing technique sessions. Cross country running coaches Brian Stackhouse from Red Deer College and Brian Johnson from Hunting Hills High School brought their expertise together for an afternoon session of
running technique followed by a strength and mobility workout lead by Marni Stokoe and a yoga session lead by Ange and Mike Kozlowski. Ulf Kleppe, head coach of the Edmonton Nordic Ski Club, worked the athletes on some ski bounding work on the hill above 55 Street. “The ultimate goal is to have fun and bring friends back together” said Moore. “We race all through the winter and its been a long (summer) break for the athletes so this is the first time for the most part that these kids can come together and rekindle some relationships,”
said Moore. Training with new people and elite level coaches is also a bonus of the camp said Moore who says both the athletes and the coaches benefit from the program. Anyone interested in joining the Red Deer Nordic Ski Club for this coming winter ski season is invited to contact the club at reddeernordic.ca or call Red Deer Nordic Ski Club head coach Graeme Moore directly at 403-314-9356.

Unburden yourself of resentment “Resentment is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die.” — Carrie Fisher, American actor and author “You don’t know!” said Rick. “You don’t know what they promised me!” “That’s true,” I said. “And I don’t know what they denied you.” “So save your empowerment speech for someone else!” Rick was a pot of resentment boiling over. Anything I said to him was perceived as a slight – a judgment – an affirmation of his own ineptitude. I didn’t think Rick was inept. Not at all. Rick was quite a MURRAY skilled shop manager. Sadly, he had been placed in a dysFUHRER functional situation and deEXTREME ESTEEM spite his best efforts had been unable to set his division back on course. Already second-guessing his decision to accept the promotion, Rick felt trapped and when his decision-making was called into question he began to lose faith in himself. Over time, Rick spiraled into a depression that threatened to carry him back to a time of self-loathing and defeat. Fearful of losing his job and filled with regret, Rick became angry and resentful. He began to project his anger outward at his employer and co-workers. He felt that the company had taken advantage of him and made success impossible. No one wanted to be around Rick’s negativity, so his opinion became a self-fulfilling prophecy affecting his personal life, work life and self-esteem. Anger generally signals that some line has been crossed or an expectation has gone unfulfilled. As I was attempting to explain to Rick, anger can prompt affirmative action or the decision to change an unjust situation and that can be tremendously beneficial. Anger can motivate us to remove ourselves from negative influences and work toward positive social change. However, if there isn’t a solution (as in Rick’s case), a release, or plan to address the cause, anger can turn inward and become the toxic emotion of resentment. I remember years ago discussing a workrelated issue with a friend. I was angry and resentful at the time. My friend asked me, “Who owns you?” When I asked for clarity, he explained that either I owned me or my anger did. I got the message. When you hold tight to your anger, anger owns you. It throws your whole perspective askew and continues to add stress to your life. This caustic emotion can become habitual and prompt you to develop and maintain an unhealthy victim mentality. In my experience, there are many different types of resentment. ● Someone has legitimately wronged or treated you badly in the past and you’re unwilling to release your grip on the injustice. Even when the offence is legitimate, hanging onto resentment won’t change the past. It will, however, erode your self-image and damage your self-esteem. Do whatever you can to bring about a positive resolution and let it go! ● We resent people who have something we don’t. It’s not unusual to begrudge co-workers who have (in our opinion) been promoted undeservingly or public figures who flaunt their wealth and fame. By resenting them, we’re indirectly telling ourselves that life is unfair and we are powerless to change it. Friedrich Nietzsche, the German scholar, philosopher and critic of culture once wrote, “Nothing on earth consumes a man more quickly than the passion

Resentment is a hot coal we carry in our hand hoping to throw at the person we resent. of resentment.” Step out of resistance and step back into your own business — let it go! ● An expectation has been created — either personally or professionally — and to your way of thinking that expectation has gone unfulfilled. More than once I have declared the source of all frustration to be unfulfilled expectations. Your assertion may be correct or (as is often the case) poor communication and a lack of clarity have created a divide between two parties. We must be willing to clarify each situation if we’re ever going to reach a successful resolution. That takes courage, self-responsibility and willingness to challenge our assumptions and let it go! Resentment is a hot coal we carry in our hand hoping to throw at the person we resent. It harms our health and mental well-being. Chances are the target of our resentment doesn’t know how we feel or might not even care. Resentment fulfils no positive function. You may hang onto resentment because you feel it protects you. It reminds you not to trust the individual who hurt you or return to the company that treated you unjustly. But you can learn that lesson and avoid falling into that trap again, without creating resentment. There are consequences to holding onto resentment. I have experienced them all. ● You’re not much fun to be around.
Most of usprefer to be around people who are positive, upbeat and cheerful. Do those sound like attributes of someone who is resentful? ● Resentment gives you an excuse to play the victim. Resentment disempowers you and stalls your personal development. It undermines your self-esteem and taints your outlook. ● Maintaining resentment saps your energy reserves — energy that could and should be used to achieve positive goals and outcomes. It’s debilitating mentally, physically and spiritually. Choose now to break the chains of resentment that have tied you to fear and mediocrity. Perhaps you’re justified in feeling resentful, but why tie yourself emotionally to toxic people and harsh and hurtful situations? Unshackle yourself and reclaim your power. “Anger will never disappear so long as thoughts of resentment are cherished in the mind,” declared the Buddha. “Anger will disappear just as soon as thoughts of resentment are forgotten.” As best you can, let go of resentment. Avoid holding onto your disappointments and hurts. Forgive when appropriate, knowing that forgiveness is not for the other person, but for you. Forgiveness does not condone wrongful or cruel actions by others. It is a declaration that you choose not to carry the burden of anger in your heart — you’ve chosen instead to let it go.

Bike lanes from a cyclist’s point of view Every time I see an adult on a bicycle, I no longer despair for the future of the human race. — H. G. Wells I guess that since I have an environment column, and since the bike lane issue won’t go away any time soon, I should type a few words on the subject. For a short while, I was a bicycle courier in Calgary. Years later, for the purpose of a rather quixotic political stunt, I cycled from Edmonton to Ottawa (you’ll be able to read about it, if I ever finish the book I’m writing). And for a couple of decades in between, I rode my bike on a daily basis to school and work — year round. I had studs on the tires in the winter, and there was a slightly sluggish EVAN feeling starting at about miBEDFORD nus twenty, when the grease in the hubs felt like molasses ENERGY & ECOLOGY in the solid phase. I rode because it saved me money, but I also rode because I found it exhilarating. For many of those years, I rode back and forth
from Old Strathcona to the University of Alberta. But I never once bothered to ride on Whyte Avenue, unlike the poor soul who recently wound up under the wheels of a cement truck. I always took the back roads. And in the depths of January, I opted for the sidewalks, since they were usually the first surfaces to get shoveled. These days, my commuting distance is a bit over my previous cut-off point for daily cycling, so I’ve had to cease and desist (but if the truth must be known, part of the calculation also involves age and laziness and the desire to listen to Jethro Tull in climate controlled convenience). However, a few years back, when my car was in the shop, I reverted to the bike to do errands. Going east to west, I had a choice between taking the path along 22nd Street or the sidewalk on 32nd Street. Either route would have been fairly straight and direct…and boring and noisy. So I invariably took the longer, twisty route of Avery and Allan Streets, followed by a short detour to pick up the southern border of Sunnybrook. Then, I zipped through the welcoming green space of Piper Creek and into the drab parking lot at Bower Mall. I was annoyed to find that the city didn’t shovel the short stretch of pathway from Sunnybrook to the mall. It was well used by pedestrians, but the hard packed, boot-pocked snow sent shudders through the bike frame and my bones. (I’m not sure if the city currently plows that part of
the pathway). Years earlier, I spent a lot of time in Victoria, BC. There again, I always took the back roads through the suburbs – not only to avoid traffic, but also to find routes with the fewest hills. At some point, the city decided to put in bicycle paths. One of them went along Foul Bay Road. It was originally a two-lane road with parking on each side. There was a bit of protest, but the decision was made to reduce parking to one side of the street only. The extra space then gave a cycle path on each side of the road, and today, the route is very busy with bicycles and roller-blades and skateboards. Admittedly, Victoria is not Red Deer. First and foremost, snowfalls and sub-zero temperatures are a fairly rare occurrence there. But the Foul Bay motorists didn’t have to give up any driving lanes, and the cyclists now have a fairly quick route at their disposal. I guess we’ll find out if the outcry over the loss of motoring lanes along 55th street is justified. But however that turns out, we need to keep in mind the wider trends in both society and geology. That’s because there will come a day when even bitumen becomes so expensive that it will only be used for things like farm tractors, buses, and snow plows for bicycle trails.

There are many benefits to using a nitric oxide supplement The Doctors seems to be such a popular show, recently they were discussing exercise supplements and NO2 was discussed. If you’ve been spending some time looking around at all the various pre-workout supplements that you could potentially use, there’s a very good chance that you might have come across one called nitric oxide or, for short, NO2. This is a pre-workout supplement that has caught the eye of many and for good reason — it works. There are many different forms of NO2 that you can CABEL purchase from getting it on its MCELDERRY own or in combination with other ingredients such as creatine or glutamine, but however you choose to take it, it will certainly help you reach your goals faster. Let’s have a look at a few of the biggest benefits from nitric oxide.
FITNESS FX
More energy The first reason why you’ll want to consider taking nitric oxide is because it’s going to enhance the
rate of blood flow to the muscle tissues, which means they’re getting more oxygen on an ongoing basis. Since the rate of oxygen getting into the muscles is one of the primary factors influencing fatigue development, the faster you can accomplish this task, the less fatigue you’re going to feel. For this reason you’ll then be able to perform more working sets per workout, taking your overall muscle growth to a whole new level.
Better muscle pump, definition Second, the next reason why using a nitric oxide pre workout supplement is a good idea is because it will also help to improve your overall muscle tone and definition. As the blood vessels dilate due to NO2 consumption, this will make you look that much more vascular and improve the size of the muscle cells. This can be a very motivating factor to many people in the gym and that in itself can get them pushing harder with each workout they do. When you use this supplement you’ll also find that your muscle pumps don’t return back to normal quite as fast after a workout as well, so that’s another benefit that many people really enjoy also.
Faster recovery If you want to make good progress from your work-
out routine, having a faster recovery ability will be essential. Muscle growth is going to be limited by how quickly you can recover in the gym because if you aren’t recovered, you can’t be in there working out again. Hitting a muscle group with the highest frequency possible is the best way to lead to progress but that’s only when the muscle is actually recovered. Since nitric oxide will speed up the blood and nutrient flow to the working muscles, this really goes a long way towards improving your recovery rates.
Improved Concentration Finally, the last reason to consider nitric oxide is because they will really boost your overall focus and concentration as well. When you’re very focused in the gym you’re going to be putting a lot more into each set that you complete and that too will definitely help take your progress up a step. Those who are easily distracted should be considering NO2 just for this specific reason as it cannot be understated just how much of a role focus does play. So keep these points in mind. If you’ve never tried NO2 before, it may just be time you give it a try for yourself and see what all it has to offer. Cabel McElderry is a local personal trainer and nutrition coach.

Queens set sights on ACAC crown TYLER SEGUIN
BRUINS EXTEND SEGUIN The Bruins continued their pre-lockout signing strategy Tuesday, agreeing with forward Tyler Seguin on a six-year, US$34 million contract extension. Seguin, 20, led Boston with 29 goals and 67 points last season, and posted a plus-34 rating. In and out of the lineup as a rookie in 2010-11, when the Bruins won the Stanley Cup, Seguin cemented his place on the team last year, and played in the 2012 allstar game in Ottawa. Seguin was the No. 2 overall pick by Boston in 2010, and had 22 points in his rookie season as Boston defeated Vancouver in seven games to win the Stanley Cup. Photo by JEFF STOKOE/Advocate staff

TUESDAY SCORES
Third-year Red Deer College Queen volleyball player Sydney Ponto makes a pass during practice Tuesday. The Queens bring back a lot of size and experience last year which they are hoping will get them a better result than the bronze they have finished with the last two seasons.
RDC VOLLEYBALL BY DANNY RODE ADVOCATE STAFF The last two years the RDC Queens have finished with bronze in the Alberta Colleges Women’s Volleyball League. Not bad, but not where they wanted to be. The 2010 ACAC champions have their sights set a little higher this year and if early indications mean anything that may be an realistic goal. Queens head coach Talbot Walton believes the size and experience in the middle
with Leanne Price, Dani Van Alstyne and Shelby Bramall returning and the addition of Megan Schmidt out of Notre Dame should give them as good a middle as there is in the conference. “We definitely have some size and Dani has worked hard during the summer to be physically stronger and has developed into a solid blocker. As well Leanne is in her third year and Shelby started a lot last year because of injuries and she was close to being a starter when everyone was healthy,” said Walton. “As for the outside, we have some experience plus we’ll be quick and will be able to run a
fast offence, which will be hard to handle.” Third-year setter Kirsten Sorensen will automatically give the Queens offence a boost. She will be backed up by Notre Dame grad Browyn Hawkes and Westlock native Jordyn Ritter. Third-year power hitter Brooke Sutter is also back and not only gives the Queens offensive strength, but is one of the premier defensive players in the conference. “With her defensive abilities she takes a lot of pressure off the libero,” said Walton. “They can concentrate more on their area when they have Brooke alongside them. They won’t have to worry about covering
for her.” Third-year outside hitter Sidney Ponto, who was pushing Sutter and Makenzie Quinn for a starting spot last season, will push to be a starter at power as will Fort McMurray native Karissa Kuhr, who is in her second year. Libero Matti Quinn is the third player out of Notre Dame while Amber Adolph of Trochu, who played with the Queens U18 Volleyball Club, and Marisa Neufeld of Acme, who is the sister of Jaclyn Neufeld, are outside hitters. Ritter is one of two players in camp with previous experience.

Thiel feels at home playing forward BY GREG MEACHEM ADVOCATE SPORTS EDITOR
RED DEER REBELS
To suggest that Cody Thiel felt out of place playing as a forward during Saturday’s 1-0 WHL preseason loss to the Lethbridge Hurricanes at Innisfail would be totally off the mark. “Actually, I felt back at home,” Thiel said on Tuesday, following a Red Deer Rebels practice at the Penhold Regional Multiplex. With the Rebels having a glut of defencemen on their preseason roster, the coaching staff decided to move Thiel up to a wing position for the Saturday contest. The 19-yearold native of Bruno, Sask., didn’t mind at all. “And I wouldn’t be opposed to staying there. I want to help the team any way I can,” he said. “I haven’t heard much about where I’ll play this season. I just go with the flow.” Skating on a forward line is nothing new for Thiel, who played up front during most of his minor hockey years. “I played forward almost my whole life, right up to midget,” said the second-year Rebel, who scored twice and collected eight points in his 53-game WHL rookie season. “I think I could be effective as a forward at this level. With my size I could play a physical style and help make room for my
linemates.” Rebels assistant coach Bryce Thoma wasn’t making any predictions as to where the six-foot-three, 180-pound Thiel will play this season. But he likes his competence at both positions. “We’ve now tried him and Vukie (Mpofu) up front in the preseason,” said Thoma (Mpofu is now listed as a forward on the Rebels roster). “We’re just trying to get the right mix of personnel. It’s always good when you have guys who can play more than one position, especially coming off a year like we had where we did have some injuries and were forced to play guys out of position.” At the never least, Thiel would give the Rebels a physical presence on the wing. “You see him out there with our forward group and he’s a lot bigger than everyone else,” said Thoma. “As well, he’s a kid who just started playing defence a couple of years ago, so playing forward is not something that’s foreign to him. He’s a guy who can be pretty versatile for us.” Thiel, who came out of virtually nowhere to crack the Rebels lineup last fall after playing the 2010-11 season as a rearguard with the midget AAA Battlefords Stars, will gladly skate on the wing this winter if it
means keeping his spot on the team. “There’s a lot of defencemen (currently eight) here this year, so I have to take advantage of my chances to play,” he said. “This is where I want to play this season and if I have to work twice as hard as I did last year to stay on Cody Thiel the team, then I have to work twice as hard.” Thiel will be absent this weekend as the 0-4 Rebels conclude their preseason schedule with games on Friday and Saturday versus the Edmonton Oil Kings and Medicine Hat Tigers at Lacombe and Stettler. While attending his brother’s wedding in Regina, he’ll track the games on the WHL website and hope for positive results. “We need a win or two before the regular season starts,” said Thiel.

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — The NHL and the players’ association will resume negotiations today in an effort to avoid a lockout this weekend. After not meeting face to face since last Friday, the sides planned to get together at the league office in New York before the NHLPA holds player meetings later Wednesday. The NHL board of governors will convene on Thursday with Commissioner Gary Bettman, while the union holds a second day of discussions with as many as 250 players. The hastily scheduled nego-
tiating session for today came just hours after NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly said owners and players were both to blame for their failure to reach a new collective bargaining agreement before current deal expires on Saturday. Daly wrote in an email to The Associated Press on Tuesday that he hoped both sides would meet before Saturday, but didn’t sound optimistic it would happen. “To this point, we have received no indication that the union has anything new to say to us. And right now, we have nothing new to say to them,” he wrote Tuesday. “It’s unfortunate, but it’s the reality of the situation.”
That changed Tuesday night. Whether the restart of talks will lead to a quick resolution remains to be seen. The NHL’s labour contract expires at midnight Saturday night, and a lockout seems likely. It would be the league’s fourth work stoppage since 1992. “Ultimately, we just want to negotiate a fair deal that will give all our clubs an ability to be stable and healthy,” Daly wrote. “We hoped (and still hope) we can do that without causing any interruption to the upcoming season. Logic would have suggested we would have been able to. The fact that we haven’t yet is extremely disappointing, and is a failure
for which we both must share blame.” Several hundred players are set to attend the NHLPA meetings today and Thursday to discuss the current state of CBA negotiations.The board of governors could authorize Bettman to proceed with a lockout on Saturday if a new collective bargaining agreement hasn’t been reached. Bruins goaltender Tuukka Rask fears the season will be delayed. “I hear November, December and New Year’s,” he said Monday at Boston’s annual golf pre-camp golf tournament. “But no one really knows.”

Belfort ready for challenge against champ UFC 152 BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Not many fighters wanted to step into the cage in Toronto against UFC light-heavyweight champion Jon (Bones) Jones, according to UFC boss Dana White. But while others only saw a high possibility of defeat, veteran fighter Vitor (The Phenom) Belfort saw a chance to test himself. “Now I fight not for the fame, not for the money, not for the position, I fight for pleasure,” said the 35-year-old Brazilian who made his pro debut in October 1996 when Jones was nine. “It’s a joy ... I’m like a young dinosaur. I’m an old lion in the midst of these young lions. So I’m enjoying this jungle.” “I love challenges and this is another challenge in my life,” he added. That was good news for White, who admitted he had a hard time finding an opponent after Dan Henderson withdrew due to injury. “No one’s too excited to jump around and fight Jon Jones right now,” White told a media conference call Tuesday. “Vitor stepped up and took the fight,” he added. “Guys that were next in line for the fight wanted nothing to do with it.” Jones and Belfort face off Sept. 22 at UFC 152 at the Air Canada Centre. It’s a matchup of phenoms. Belfort was nicknamed The Phenom after winning the UFC 12 heavyweight tournament in February 1997, becoming at 19 the youngest fighter to win in the Octagon. Jones became the UFC’s youngest ever champion when he dethroned Mauricio (Shogun) Rua at the age of 23 years 242 days. Jones (16-1) was slated to meet Henderson at UFC 151 on Sept. 1 in Las Vegas. But the UFC was forced to shelve the event after Jones refused to accept middleweight contender Chael Sonnen as a re-
“And right now there’s a lot of buzz around my name, whether it’s good or bad,” he said. “And I think between those two factors a lot of people are going to tune in to watch a phenom versus another phenom.” Belfort has faced seven former UFC or Pride champions over his career: Anderson Silva, Randy Couture, Chuck Liddell, Rich Franklin, Ortiz, Wanderlei Silva and Henderson. Both Jones and Belfort are vocal about their religious beliefs. Asked whether cagefighting was at odds with their faith, Jones said he didn’t think God gave him any advantage over his opponent. “I think God could care less

The Queens will also face SAIT and Olds College, Sept, 29, likely in Olds, and travel to Edmonton to meet the University of Alberta Pandas in a practice match, Oct. 12. “The U of A match will be

The trade, which cost the Tigers a fifth-round pick in the 2014 WHL bantam draft, allowed the Americans to pare their stock of 20-year-olds to four. “It’s hard,” Ryckman told Annie Fowler of the Tri-City Herald. “You know coming in there are only three spots. Being a fifth-year guy in the league, I knew I would have some-
a lot of craziness going on.” It’s not all been smooth sailing for the young champ. There was drunk driving arrest earlier this year. Said Belfort: “Jesus only expects one thing from everybody, every Christian. He wants you to do your best.

NHL: Going to New York Donald Fehr, who took over as union head two years ago, said his players are resigned to a work stoppage, which would follow lockouts last year in the NFL and the NBA. Many of those players will gather in Manhattan this week
in this off-season’s biggest show of force. Pittsburgh captain Sidney Crosby, one of the league’s biggest stars, is one of them. He skated on Tuesday with some of his Penguins teammates in suburban Pittsburgh and expects to be in New York on Wednesday. Industry revenue has grown from $2.1 billion to $3.3 billion annually under the expiring deal. Owners asked players to cut their share of hockey related revenue from 57 to 43 per cent, and then modified their offer to 46 per cent during a six-year proposal. Players are concerned management hasn’t addressed its problems by reexamining the teams’ revenuesharing format. The sides haven’t had a full bargaining session since Aug. 31 and the strife is threatening regular-season openers scheduled to start Oct. 11. The preseason schedule is set to begin on Sept. 19. An 11-day strike in April 1992 caused 30 games to be postponed, and a 103-day lockout in 1994-95 caused the cancellation of 468 games and delayed the season’s start until Jan. 20. The 2004 lockout started Sept. 16 when training camps were to open, as they are this year, and wasn’t settled until July 13.

Canada looked out of sorts in the first few minutes while Panama appeared buoyed by the incredible noise made by the home supporters. Then six minutes in, the lights went out. A bank of lights in the stadium’s north end went out and remained that way for about 14 minutes. When play resumed, Canada had taken out star striker Dwayne De Rosario due to a knee injury that he suffered on an earlier tackle. Panama got on the board after Blackburn found space on a corner kick despite being surrounded by several Canadian defenders to go up 1-0. Meanwhile Honduras beat Cuba 1-0 to move to second in the fourteam group. The result dropped Canada to third place on goal differential.

UFC fighter Jon Jones poses during his weigh in in Toronto on December 9, 2011. UFC light heavyweight champion, Jones will face challenger, Vitor Belfort at UFC 152 in Toronto, Sept. 22. UFC boss Dana White said not many people wanted to step into the ring with Jones after Dan Henderson withdrew because of injury which forced the cancellation of UFC 151 in Las Vegas on Sept. 1. Belfort is excited about the match which is billed as the matchup of phenoms.

Canada suffers costly loss to Panama
placement opponent, saying it was too short notice. White was irate at the time but has since calmed down. Still, Jones and he have yet to hash it out. “We’ll see each other in Toronto. He and I need to get into a room face to face and talk,” White said. “I’ve been in this business for 12 years and I’ve dealt with just about everybody you can deal with — good guys, bad guys. You know Jon Jones isn’t a bad guy.” Said Jones: “I’m over it, man, I really am. I’m actually getting more and excited to talk to Dana and get this behind us.” White said he opted for Belfort over Sonnen as an opponent for Jones in Toronto because the Brazilian was already training for a fight while Sonnen wasn’t. And the UFC boss dismissed any critics of the matchup. “If you don’t like this fight and you don’t think it’s going to be a great fight, don’t watch it,” he said dismissively. Belfort (21-9) has been campaigning as a middleweight (185 pounds) recently but has won titles as a light-heavyweight (205) and heavyweight. “If the Vitor Belfort shows up that we’ve seen a million times (with) that explosive knockout power, if Vitor doesn’t just stand out there and hang out there, if he fights, this is a very dangerous fight for Jon Jones,” said White. The bookmakers have made Jones a huge favourite, with odds of 9-1 in some places. Jones doesn’t seem to care about the lopsided odds in his favour, or any bad press. “My name’s all over the place right now and I’m looking at the positives in it,” he said. Jones, for one, says he believes there is plenty of interest in the remade main event. In his book, Belfort is popular in Brazil and is a favourite of the “old-school generation of martial fans and the new generation of martial arts fans.”

Mariners Soccer stop Jays’ four-game win streak Guatemala U.S. Jamaica Antigua
THE CANADIAN PRESS Mariners 4 Blue Jays 3 TORONTO — It was clear from the start that Blue Jays pitcher Brandon Morrow didn’t have his best stuff against the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday night. He gave up hits to the first three batters he faced and the Mariners built an early lead they wouldn’t relinquish in a 4-3 victory over Toronto in front of a season-low Rogers Centre crowd of 12,935. Morrow tied a career high by giving up 11 hits over fourplus innings as the Blue Jays had their four-game winning streak come to an end. Toronto (64-76) had its chances against Seattle starter Erasmo Ramirez (1-2) but couldn’t put together a big inning. Morrow needed 27 pitches to get out of the opening frame. The Mariners put up two early runs and were on their way to ending a three-game skid. “I think the only thing that kept that from being eight runs was probably my changeup,” Morrow said. “I had a decent change-up and was able to keep them off-balance a little bit that way. But it was just one of those days, really.” Seattle (68-74) had four of its 14 hits in the opening frame. Morrow had given his former team fits in the past, winning all three of his starts and posting an impressive 1.89 earnedrun average.

Crown awaiting autopsy report WILL DETERMINE HOW THE CROWN PROCEEDS ON MAN’S DEATH IN FIGHT
CHORALE CREATED
BY BRENDA KOSSOWAN ADVOCATE STAFF
The City of Red Deer and francophone school Ecole la Prairie have partnered to create a French choir for children age nine to 12. Chorale de Red Deer is a new program that’s open to children with French speaking skills. The program begins Sept. 25. To register visit any city recreation facility. The program fee is $80 per child, with a reduced fee of $64 for students at Ecole la Prairie where the program will run. For more information call Teresa Neuman, with the city’s cultural services department, at 403-309-4757.
A detailed autopsy report will determine how the Crown proceeds with a criminal charge laid after a Saskatchewan man died from wounds he is alleged to have suffered during a street fight in Red Deer. William Johnstone-Vince, 22, was charged with aggravated assault after police were called for a second time to break up a fight between two groups of people outside of the Sheraton Hotel between 3 and 4 a.m. on June 17. A Red Deer City RCMP news release issued afterward states that members were originally called to break up a fight at about 3:15. a.m.
Cpl. Kathe DeHeer, a media liaison officer for the RCMP, says in her release that the two groups engaged in the fight were dispersed, but the battle erupted again a few minutes later. One man was severely injured during the second fight and was flown to the University of Alberta Hospital in Edmonton for treatment, says her release. Family members later said that Jake Thue, 27, remained unconscious until his death, six days later. Thue was a building contractor based in Lumsden, Sask. He had come to Red Deer to work on a local project. In Red Deer provincial court on Tuesday, Crown prosecutor Jason Snider said Johnstone-Vince — represented by Red
Deer lawyer Kevin Sproule — may have a reasonable case for self defence. Snider reported to Judge Jim Hunter that he wants to see the detailed report from the Medical Examiner’s office before making any decisions on how to proceed with the charge. A copy of the Medical Examiner’s report has not yet been provided to the Crown prosecutors’ office, Snider told the court. “The Medical Examiner’s office takes an exorbitant amount of time to produce these documents,” he said. Johnstone-Vince remains free on strict conditions pending his next court appearance, set for Red Deer provincial court on Dec. 18. bkossowan@reddeeradvocate.com

Campground contract contravened: city Few details have been released about why the city terminated its Lions Campground contract with its service provider just two weeks before the end of the season. The city has taken over the operations until the end of the season on Oct. 1. This was the second year the contractor operated the campground. “There was a contravention to the contract itself,” said Greg Scott, director of community services. “We felt it necessary take the

before the 100th Grey Cup game on Nov. 25. Mark Cohon, commissioner of the Canadian Football League, says the goal is to bring the Grey Cup to as many Canadians as possible. For dates and times of other stops as well as more information about the tour go to www. greycuptour.ca The tour, which has a number of business sponsors --- including RONA and Telus -- took two years to organize including striking deals with Via Rail, CP and CN. “There are so many freight trains moving across this country. So where you can put your train, how long it can be in a station is all part of it,” Cohon said earlier this summer. The Grey Cup trophy was donated by Governor General Earl Grey in 1909. For more details about the Grey Cup 100 Tour go to www. greycuptour.ca action that we did. That’s all I can say about it at this point but I can say we are conducting a detailed investigation. It will be explored further over the next few weeks just what has been in place.” Scott said the change has been done in away so there’s little or no impact to the campers. The existing reservations will be honoured. There will be security in place in the evenings. “We will continue to operate until Oct. 1 which is normally the end of the season,” said Scott. The Lions Campground customer service booth is open from 5 to 10 p.m., seven days a week with security from 8 p.m. to 7 a.m. For more information on the campground, call 403-342-8183 or www.reddeer.ca/campground

Some still away from homes in Harper hailed B.C. where fire risk is never far as ‘statesman’ THE CANADIAN PRESS PEACHLAND, B.C. — Phil Kachanoski is relieved to be able to set foot inside his house again after a rapidly moving forest fire burned through the countryside near his home in Peachland, B.C., and forced him and roughly 1,500 others to flee. Kachanoski, a 42-yearold dentist, was among the two-thirds of the evacuees who received the all-clear to return home Monday evening, after a tense 24 hours in which flames destroyed four houses and came dangerously close to many others. By Tuesday morning, another 150 were allowed home, leaving 258 on evacuation order. Cool temperatures and periods of rain Monday slowed the fire as crews worked to bring it 75 per cent under control. But officials note the danger isn’t completely gone — 1,300 still remain on evacuation alert and will have to leave if the fire flares up. Kachanoski, who dropped off a few items at his home before returning to a hotel for Monday night, wasn’t taking anything for granted. “We’re very happy that obviously they had gotten things under control enough that we

Fire investigators examine an area where they believe a wildfire started in Peachland, B.C., on Tuesday. Forestry officials say the fire is 75% contained. could go back,” said Kachanoski. “Until they know for sure that they’ve got most of the hot spots out, you’re never out of the clear in B.C.” Those who remained under an evacuation order live near where the fire first began on the northwestern edge of town, in the same subdivision of homes, vineyards and acreages where the four houses were destroyed. The fire started Sunday afternoon in an area on the outskirts of Peachland, a community of about 5,200 people located 380 kilometres northeast of Vancouver. Strong winds caused the fire to spread rapidly, covering three kilometres in a little more than an hour.
Four houses, including one on the vineyard where Canada’s first commercially released icewine was born in 1978, were destroyed on the first day of the fire as gusts of wind pushed the flames into the houses. The fire left a mess of charred trees, ash and a coating of red-coloured fire retardant that blanketed homes, roads and fields. The weather helped calm the fire, but the cool temperatures and rain are expected to be replaced by more hot dry weather for the rest of the week. Jim Mottishaw, a forest protection officer with the provincial government, said the hot weather won’t be a problem as long as the winds remain calm, as predict-
ed. “The forecast is for hot, dry weather through to the weekend. That means we’ve got to secure the lines as quick as we can, and if another wind event comes up hopefully we’ve been able to hold the line,” Mottishaw said in an interview. “Wind is the biggest concern, and because we’ve got containment around a good portion of it and lots of resources, anything that flares up we can jump on it quick. Without wind, things are looking very good.” Residents here remember an inferno in late August of 2003 that surrounded Kelowna, about 25 kilometres up the road from Peachland, and forced 27,000 people from their homes.
OTTAWA — Prime Minister Stephen Harper is being hailed as “World Statesman of the Year” by an American organization that previously feted Jean Chretien and British prime minister Gordon Brown. The Prime Minister’s Office says Harper will travel to New York on Sept. 27 to receive the award from the Appeal of Conscience Foundation. Harper, according to the organization, will be recognized as a “champion of democracy, freedom and human rights.” The foundation was founded in 1965 by Rabbi Arthur Schneier. Its board includes former U.S. president Bill Clinton and former U.S. secretaries of state Madeleine Albright, James Baker, retired general Colin Powell and George Schultz. The event at New York’s famous Waldorf Astoria hotel takes place the same week that the United Nations’ 67th general assembly convenes for high-level debate, but Harper will not be making a speech at the world body. Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird will instead represent Canada at the UN general assembly. The Appeal of Conscience Foundation describes itself as an “interfaith coalition of business and religious leaders (that) promotes peace, tolerance and ethnic conflict resolution.” According to its website, “The foundation believes that freedom, democracy and human rights are the fundamental values that give nations of the world their best hope for peace, security and shared prosperity.” Among the foundation’s previous “world statesman of the year” recipients were Chretien in 2002, Australian prime minister John Howard in 2005, France’s Nicolas Sarkozy in 2008 and South Korean President Lee Myung-bak in 2011. German Chancellor Angela Merkel, former Brazilian president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, Czech Vaclav Havel, former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev and former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher have also been recognized over the years by the foundation — although not all have showed up in New York to receive their awards.
Bullied N.Y. school bus aid receives $700,000 cheque from Toronto man BY THE CANADIAN PRESS A Toronto man’s campaign to give an American grandmother a vacation from a workplace in which she was tyrannized by teenage bullies ended Tuesday with the retired school bus monitor receiving a cheque for $703,000. Karen Klein, 68, of Greece, N.Y., was in Toronto for the ceremony.
The funds were presented by Max Sidorov, a 25-yearold nutritionist who felt compelled to help Klein after watching a video of her fielding profane taunts and outright threats from a group of middle school students during a bus run last June. The cellphone video posted online by a fellow student drew millions of viewers. The video shows Klein trying her best to ignore the boys’ insults.
One student is heard taunting: “You don’t have a family because they all killed themselves because they don’t want to be near you.” Klein’s oldest son killed himself 10 years ago. Eventually, Klein appears to break down in tears. The video and what began as a simple campaign to send Klein on holiday brought about much more permanent change, said Sidorov. “Now her vacation is going
to be the full-time vacation of retirement,” he said in a telephone interview. Klein, who had been a bus driver for 20 years before becoming a bus aid for the Greece Athena Middle School. intends to spend at least some of her newly gotten gains on travel, Sidorov said, adding she has already celebrated her changed circumstances with trips to Disney World, New York and Boston.
Klein had been a bus driver for 20 years before becoming a bus aid for the Greece Athena Middle School. The video of her ordeal touched off an overwhelming outpouring of support. A spokeswoman for fundraising website Indiegogo, which housed Sidorov’s campaign, said Klein’s story prompted more than 30,000 people in 84 countries to open their wallets.

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Canada’s trade performance hit a new low in July, establishing a record deficit of $2.3 billion as both exports and imports tumbled in the face of a weak global economy. Making matters worse, Statistics Canada revised June’s deficit to $1.93 billion, even deeper than the $1.81 billion deficit originally reported last month. Scotiabank’s economists noted that the strong loonie — which rose to a 13-month high Tuesday — likely played a role. The drop in exports was most pronounced in the American market, where they fell by 5.5 per cent to their lowest level since October 2010. “This is about as bad as it gets for Canadian exporters — at least so far,” said
‘THIS IS ABOUT AS BAD AS IT GETS FOR CANADIAN EXPORTERS — AT LEAST SO FAR.’ — DEREK HOLT, SCOTIABANK’S VICE-PRESIDENT OF ECONOMICS
Derek Holt, Scotiabank’s vice-president of economics. Overall, exports fell 3.4 per cent to $37.7 billion and imports declined 2.2 per cent to $40.1 billion. By volume of shipments, exports declined by two per cent and imports by 1.2 per cent, signalling that trade was again a drag on the economy at the start of the third quarter. Holt said the performance further calls into question the Bank of Canada’s continued hawkish stand on monetary policy — it signalled in its latest announcement that
rates were likely to rise in the future — since any hike in interest rates at this point would likely lift the Canadian dollar higher and slow exports further. In a statement, Trade Minister Ed Fast highlighted the importance of trade to Canada’s economy, noting that one in five jobs are tied to exporting activities. “That is why we continue to open new markets to increase Canadian exports as part of the most ambitious trade expansion plan in Canadian history,” Fast said.

OPEC sees oil demand rising VIENNA, Austria — OPEC says that world economic growth above 3 per cent this year and next should drive up global oil demand by 900,000 barrels a day this year and a further 800,000 barrels in 2013. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries issued the forecast Tuesday in its monthly report on global demand. The report said that OPEC produced 31.41 million barrels of oil a day in August — 254,000 more a day than in July, and about 1.5 million barrels a day more than estimated demand for OPEC crude over all of 2012.
National energy strategy idea downplayed CHARLOTTETOWN — Federal Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver downplayed talk of drafting a formal national energy strategy Tuesday following a meeting with provincial energy and mining ministers. Oliver told a news conference in Charlottetown that he hadn’t heard anything in proposals for a strategy that isn’t being dealt with already. He said that included recent suggestions advanced by Alberta Premier Alison Redford, whose province has been the driving force behind a national plan. “I’ve asked her about what she had in mind and I didn’t hear anything that suggested something that we weren’t actually covering,” said Oliver. Still, he said the federal and provincial governments are moving together to develop the country’s natural resources in a responsible manner. “If you want to put a bow on it and call it a national energy strategy, go ahead. But we’re not applying that labelling to it,” Oliver said. The call for a strategy has come from business groups, environmentalists and aboriginal groups, as well as most of Canada’s premiers.

Canada has lowest corporate tax rates in G7 PROVINCES STILL NEED TO DO MORE: STUDY BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — A new report by the University of Calgary School of Public Policy suggests Canada has the lowest corporate tax rates in the G7, but work still needs to be done by the provinces. Moves such as British Columbia’s decision to replace the Harmonized Sales Tax and return to its old retail sales system are hurting competitiveness, says the report by Jack Mintz and Duanjie Chen. The annual ranking of tax competitiveness ranked Canada’s marginal effective tax rate 20th in the 34-member OECD, and 57th among the 90 countries surveyed. The report noted that Ottawa carried through with its last reduction in corporate tax rates from 16.5 per cent to 15 per cent in January. However, Ontario delayed its planned general corporate tax rate cut from 11.5 per cent to 10 per cent.
The report recommends the tax system in Canada could be made more neutral, and less distortionary, across sectors and provinces. “Canada has had remarkable success since the year 2000 in achieving a competitive corporate tax system that at one time imposed one of the highest tax burdens in the world,” the report said. “However, the principles enunciated for corporate tax reform — neutrality with internationally competitive tax rates — have only been partially adopted. “It is important now for governments to reduce tax preferences, providing room for even more rate reductions.” By province, the report ranked New Brunswick with the lowest marginal effective tax rate due to its low corporate income tax rate and the Atlantic Investment Tax Credit. Manitoba, Saskatchewan and British Columbia were among the provinces with the highest rates due to high corporate income tax rates and their reliance on retail sales taxes.
Strong farm commodity prices and the finite supply of land have contributed to a 20 to 25 per cent jump in agricultural land values in Central Alberta over the past year, says a report by Re/Max. The real estate firm’s farm market trends report said farmland prices in this region now range from $2,000 to $4,500 per acre of dryland, depending on location and quality, with the average around $3,300. That compares with a spread of $1,600 to $3,800 one year ago. This trend is consistent across most of Canada, said Re/Max. It cited high commodity prices, tight inventories, low interest rates and more efficient farm equipment as among the factors spurring demand for land and pushing prices up. Don MacDonald, who is with Re/Max Real Estate Central Alberta in Three Hills and helped compile the report, agreed there are various reasons for the rising prices. Among these is the desire of many producers to expand their operations. “That’s really what we’re seeing right now is lots of local demand. “It’s the big getting bigger.” However, MacDonald has also noticed some non-farmers checking out the investment opportunities in agricultural land. “We’re seeing more interest from people who are not happy with one per cent in the bank. “There are those who think the safest place to park money is in real estate or in the metals. For sure, farmland ends up in that category.” Meanwhile, he added, very little land is coming onto the market — skewing the supply-demand balance in favour of sellers. MacDonald, who has been in the business for 26 years, said farmland prices move up and down with market forces.

Residential construction starts drop sharply DECLINE REFLECTS A STEEP DROP WITH RESPECT TO STARTS ON OTHER HOUSING TYPES BY ADVOCATE STAFF Residential construction starts in Red Deer last month were down from the same period a year ago, despite a big jump in the number of single-detached projects. Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. reported on Tuesday that there were 64 housing starts in the city in August, a 37 per cent drop from the 102 starts during the same month last year. However, the number of single-detached homes started this year was up by 79 per cent, to 50 from 28. The overall decline reflected a steep drop with respect to starts on other housing types, which fell 81 per cent to 14 units from 74. In July, housing starts in Red Deer numbered 49, with 28 of these single-detached homes. The month before that the tally was 58, including 42 single-detached projects
Over the first eight months of 2012, local builders have combined for 427 housing starts — four per cent more than the 410 generated during the same period of 2011. Single-detached homes made up 242 of this year’s total, up from 220; other types of housing added 185, down from 190. Among the other bigger urban centres in the province, housing starts in August 2012 as compared with from August 2011 were down in Calgary, Lethbridge and the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo. They were higher in Edmonton, Grande Prairie and Medicine Hat. For the year to date, residential construction activity has increased in Calgary, Edmonton, Grande Prairie and Medicine Hat. It’s slowed in Wood Buffalo and Lethbridge. Nationally, CMHC said the pace of housing starts picked up August, boosted by big multiple-unit projects in Toronto, even as the Canadian real estate market showed signs of cooling.
There were 19,860 actual housing units started in August, to set a seasonally adjusted annual pace of 224,900 units for the month, up from 208,000 in July. The consensus estimate by economists had been for a seasonally adjusted annual pace of 201,000. TD senior economist Jacques Marcil said the data shows Canadian housing construction remains in high gear and suggested the pace won’t continue. “The rest of the economy is growing much slower and as a consequence is not likely to be able to support this level of housing supply for much longer,” Marcil warned. “While recent changes to mortgage insurance rules will likely limit the growth in demand for new homes, low interest rates remain an incentive for buyers to borrow and keep the housing market overvalued.” With files from The Canadian Press.

MARKETS CLOSE TORONTO — The Toronto stock market closed little changed Tuesday amid hopes that the Chinese government and U.S. central bank will move to launch stimulus measures to boost their slowing economies. The S&P/TSX composite index edged up 5.02 points to 12,220.45 after China’s Premier Wen Jiabao promised more tax cuts and measures to boost consumer spending during a speech to the World Economic Forum. The TSX Venture Exchange rose 3.89 points to 1,274.6. The Canadian dollar closed up 0.45 of a cent to a 13-month high of 102.75 cents US as the greenback weakened ahead of the Federal Reserve’s two-day meeting on interest rates. The U.S. central bank could announce another round of quantitative easing, which would see the Fed print more money to buy up bonds in order to keep interest rates low and encourage lending. U.S. markets were higher as the Dow Jones industrials gained 69.07 points to 13,323.36. The Nasdaq composite index was 0.51 of a point higher to 3,104.53. Shares in Apple Inc. were down slightly a day before the tech icon was expected to announce a new iPhone. It may also unveil a mini iPad. The company’s stock declined $2.15 to US$660.59. The S&P 500 index was ahead 4.48 points to 1,433.56. There were increased expectations that the Fed would provide another jolt for the economy after jobs data released Friday failed to meet modest expectations of 125,000 new jobs. Instead, the U.S. economy cranked out 97,000 jobs and employment numbers for June and July were revised downward. However, there is a degree of uncertainty as to whether the Fed will act now, especially as it may not want to become a key point of debate in the upcoming U.S. presidential election. Wen’s commitment to stimulative measures came a day after data showed that China’s economic slump is worsening. China’s imports declined 2.6 per cent from a year earlier during August, below analysts’ expectations of growth in low single digits. That came on top of August’s decline in factory output to a three-year low and other signs growth is still decelerating despite repeated stimulus efforts. A slowing Chinese economy is particularly bad news for commodity prices and stocks on the resourceintensive Toronto stock market. The TSX felt late session pressure from the financial sector, which finished the day down 0.33 per cent. TD Bank (TSX:TD) shed 67 cents to $81.57 while Royal Bank (TSX:RY) gave up 63 cents to $55.81. Telecoms also pressured the TSX as Telus Corp. (TSX:T) declined 71 cents to $61.61. Resource stocks led TSX gainers while commodities moved higher. The energy sector was ahead 0.47 per cent as the October crude contract on the New York Mercantile Exchange moved up 63 cents to US$97.17 a barrel. Canadian Natural Resources (TSX:CNQ) was up 55 cents to $32.18 while Precision Drilling (TSX:PD) advanced 23 cents to $8.43. The mining sector was up 1.5 per cent while December copper on the Nymex was up one cent to US$3.70 a pound, adding to a 17-cent jump over the past two sessions. Teck Resources climbed $1.54 to $30.77 while HudBay Minerals (TSX:HBM) was up 38 cents to $9.47. December bullion gained $3.10 to US$1,734.90 an ounce and the gold sector was unchanged. Industrials also provided lift as Canadian National Railways (TSX:CNR) advanced 82 cents to $91.17. Traders also took in a sobering warning from Moody’s Investors Service. The ratings agency says it would likely cut its “Aaa” rating on U.S. government debt, probably by one notch, if key budget negotiations fail. If Congress does not reach a budget deal, more than US$600 billion in spending cuts and tax increases will kick in next year, a scenario that’s been dubbed the “fiscal cliff” because it is likely to send the economy back into recession and drive unemployment up. Traders also looked ahead to an important court decision being handed down today. A German court is expected to rule on a request to block the country’s approval of the eurozone’s permanent bailout fund, the European Stability Mechanism, or ESM. The Germany Federal Constitutional Court on Tuesday rejected a last-minute plea to postpone its ruling. Plaintiffs had argued the European Central Bank’s decision last week to buy up government bonds “created a completely new situation” regarding
whether the C500 billion fund was constitutional. The court’s decision on the injunction is widely anticipated as a harbinger of how it might rule on the constitutionality of the ESM overall. In corporate news, U.S. mall owner General Growth Properties, Inc., whose major shareholder is Torontobased Brookfield Asset Management (TSX:BAM.A), has rejected an activist investor’s push for a sale of the company to a rival American mall owner. The board of directors at GGP filed a letter Monday to Bill Ackman’s Pershing Square Capital saying that it has decided to continue its current path for growth. Brookfield shares dipped 16 cents to $34.09.

STORIES FROM C3
LAND: Prices take off They were flat from 1986 to 1994, when interest rates were high and commodity prices low, but have really taken off over the past several years. He speculated that if interest rates start to rise, commodity prices drop and input costs jump, prices will be subject to strong downward pressure. But, he added, because most farming operations have long-term expansion plans, prices should continue to move upward over the long term. The Re/Max report noted that farmland values ranged from about $800 an acre in parts of Saskatchewan and Southern Alberta, to between $40,000 and $60,000 in the Fraser Valley of British Columbia. In Central Alberta, land in the Olds area is desirable because it’s among the most productive in the region, said the report. It added that property close to Highway 2 and urban centres also tends to be more valuable. The report suggested that prices could continue to rise. “The conditions that make for a seller’s market are expected to remain in place moving forward, and
the current low interest rate and high commodity price environment may still leave room for further price growth into 2013.” hrichards@reddeeradvocate.com
TRADE: Canda, EU talking Canada and the European Union are currently negotiating towards a free-trade agreement, which the Harper government has said it would like to reach by the end of this year. There are also negotiations at various stages with Japan and a group of countries known as the TransPacific Partnership. Trade agreements may be no substitute for sound global economic conditions, however. In a noon speech in St. John’s, Finance Minister Jim Flaherty said Canada’s economic fundamentals remain strong, but the country is still somewhat at the mercy of international events. “While we are not currently facing the depths of the downturn of a few years ago, the global economy remains stubbornly fragile. Any potential offshore setbacks could generate serious adverse impacts on Canada,” he said in notes of the address released in Ottawa.
N.W.T. minister: Oil development could bode well for stranded natural gas THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — Development of a potentially huge oil deposit in the central Mackenzie Valley may bode well for long-stranded natural gas in the North, the Northwest Territories’ industry minister said Tuesday. David Ramsay said his territory hasn’t given up on getting gas from fields near the coast of the Beaufort Sea to market, even though a proposal led by Imperial Oil Ltd. (TSX:IMO) to ship the gas south has effectively been shelved after years of delays. As companies start developing oil in the Sahtu region of the Northwest Territories, it’s likely some natural gas will come out of the ground along with it, Ramsay said in a telephone interview from Charlottetown following an annual meeting of energy ministers. “One of the things that may happen there is the potential for another oil pipeline south from Norman Wells and the possibility exists for a gas line south from Norman Wells,” said Ramsay. “So it could potentially be the impetus to get Mackenzie gas to market.” Enbridge Inc. (TSX:ENB) currently operates an oil pipeline from Norman Wells, N.W.T. south to Zama, Alta., which is running part-empty. But eventually that might not be
enough to accommodate production from the Canol formation, which is estimated to contain between two and three billion barrels of recoverable oil. Ramsay noted the
United States, by far Canada’s biggest export market for energy, is rapidly developing its own domestic sources in areas like the Bakken in North Dakota and Montana. A report this week
from Bantek, a firm that analyzes energy data, predicts U.S. crude oil production will grow by 74 per cent in the next decade to an average of 11.6 million barrels per day.

BRIEFS Singer promotes latest release Saskatoon folk singer John Antoniuk is putting his “Smokekiller” alias on hold as he tours to promote his latest release. The performer, who stops on Friday (Sept. 14) at The Hideout in Gasoline Alley, south of Red Deer, dedicated his CD Always With You to his mother, who died in 2010. While he was previously known as Smokekiller, Antoniuk decided to release his most recent album of introspective tunes under his own name because this was an ode to his mom and seemed like the right thing to do. “I know it’s kind of confusing, but it just felt like I should release this album as ‘me’ out of respect for my mother,” Antoniuk explained. The singer/songwriter who’s been compared to Weezer and Ryan Adams, will be hitting the road with his five-piece band (still going under the “Smokekiller Band” moniker) on a Western Canadian tour. His wife, fellow musician Jen Lane, will open the shows. For more information, please call 403-348-5319. Photo by THE CANADIAN PRESS
Actor Eli Roth poses for a photo as he promotes the movie “Aftershock” during the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival in Toronto on Tuesday.
Sometimes even the actors would like to watch movies BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — By the time most celebrities are done striding down red carpets, posing at parties and chatting up press at the Toronto International Film Festival, there isn’t much time left for, well, actual movies — and horror buff Eli Roth can’t stand it. “All I want to do in my free time is see movies,” Roth said in an interview on Tuesday. “It’s such a tease. It’s torture, actually, to know that these movies are playing in theatres and you can’t go see them.” The 40-year-old multi-hyphenate actor, director, producer and writer — who directed the Hostel horror films and starred in Quentin Tarantino’s Second World War epic Inglourious Basterds — is in
TORONTO INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL town primarily to promote his new film, Aftershock. Directed by Nicolas Lopez, the gory, grisly disaster flick follows six middle-class Americans — including Roth, who also co-wrote the film — partying it up through Chile before a devastating earthquake tears through their city, initiating a terrifying chaos exacerbated by rampaging criminals sprung from the local jail. Though he’s had a full publicity plate, Roth has filled pretty much every spare moment with screenings. He rushed out to an earlymorning showing of Harmony Korine’s edgy Spring Breakers then dashed off to a screening of the Snoop Lion-focused documentary
Reincarnated. He also found time to squeeze in Paul Thomas Anderson’s buzzed-about drama The Master and Brian De Palma’s erotic thriller Passion. But he was still left wanting more. “I’m on this weird festival high where you don’t know what day it is, you don’t know what time it is,” Roth said with a laugh, seated next to a nodding Lopez. “It kills me that there’s these movies that I want to see — and I can see them in this beautiful theatre on this big screen — (but) I can’t see them. It’s torturing me, actually.”
Rising musician Jason Isbell celebrates great year

NASHVILLE — Music was all around Jason Isbell as he grew up in northern Alabama. The region’s rich musical history provided a soundtrack for his childhood. His grandparents turned on the radio and taught him to play guitar. He was schoolmates with The Secret Sisters, bandmates with future hit songwriter Chris Tompkins and a casual rock ’n’ roll rival with John Paul White of The Civil Wars. Everyone was practicing “a hillbilly gospel tradition” that’s been passed down in the area for generations. It spawned some of history’s best music at Muscle Shoals in the 1960s and ’70s, and there’s been a second coming of prominent acts in the 21st century. Isbell, the top nominee at the Americana Honors & Awards tonight at the Ryman Auditorium, is the latest artist to break out of the area. “I stayed with my grandparents” after he finished school, Isbell said. “That’s where I learned how to play because they were trying to give me something to stay occupied so I wouldn’t get into much trouble. I’d sit and play for hours and hours at a time and not be break-
ing anything or stealing anything. I know a lot of people who did that. The Rogers girls (Laura and Lydia), The Secret Sisters ... my mom used to make sure we got next to them in church on Sunday. Even though they were 4 and 6, they were just harmonizing. They were just born with it.” Isbell’s upbringing left him with a strong sense of place, and he’s used it to turn heads in the Southern songwriting community, first as a member of the Drive-By Truckers and later as a solo artist. He’s nominated for four awards at the Americana Music Association awards, including artist of the year, with Hayes Carll, Justin Townes Earle and Gillian Welch. His 2011 release, Here We Rest, is up for album of the year; he and his band, the 400 Unit, are nominated for group of the year; and he’s also nominated in the song category for Alabama Pines, a tune his good friend White says is a great example of Isbell’s gift as a songwriter. The song is a love poem to north Alabama — Isbell grew up in Greenhill — studded with places, names and friendly advice to visitors about liquor stores and speed traps. It’s the latest in a long line of Isbell songs that unfold like short stories by your favourite South-

Short bouts of vigorous Only so much can be exercise can reduce done if brother-in-law heart-health risks in kids unwilling to help himself
96-year-old holds record as oldest yoga teacher THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Ida Herbert stands with her feet wide apart, takes a deep breath, and bends her body to one side to touch her left foot, settling into a triangle pose. Herbert is 96, an age not many reach — and she now holds the Guinness World Record as the world’s oldest yoga teacher. She has been practising the ancient discipline since the late 1940s — long before Lululemon started making workout clothing, and well before it was a trend in Western society. “Yoga’s wonderful for your body, and it’s also wonderful for the interior. You can be so quiet and peaceful as you exercise,” Herbert says. “I don’t think I talked about it to anyone. If I did, I would just say ’I’m going to the health club.”’ The four-foot-ten instructor wears vintage cateye glasses, has tidy white hair and looks about 25 years younger than she is. As she does a short routine in Toronto’s St. James Park clad in a navy bodysuit and tights, people pause to watch her as they pass. Herbert attributes her good health and generally happy attitude largely to her years of practising yoga. “It’s made me very physically flexible, and inside, it’s made me look at circumstances in a peaceful way,” she says.
vigorous-intensity exercise daily. This should include both vigorousintensity activities and muscle and bonestrengthening activities at least three days a week. “We need to start incorporating vigorous physical activity into those guidelines and emphasizing higher-intensity exercise,” said McGavock. “So the final message I would give to parents is try to get your children outside and into games they enjoy, but games in which they are more active, they are breathing hard, it’s increasing their body temperature, they’re red in the face — that kind of exercise — so we can see greater health benefits.” Mark Tremblay, director of active living and obesity research at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, said the Manitoba study is useful and supports the Canadian Physical Activity Guidelines. Those guidelines stress that more is better, whether referring to duration, intensity, frequency or variety of physical activity. “I think the particular value that this (study) adds is it throws a number out there,” said Tremblay, referring to the seven-minute span. “That’s the sort of information that is severely lacking in the literature. It at least is putting a line in the sand, which I really value. “Hopefully there will be more (studies) like this so that when five years from now, when we’re updating the guidelines again, we’d be able to say and include vigorous-intensity activities at least three days of the week for at least ’blankblank’ duration.”

TORONTO — Engaging in less than 10 minutes of vigorous exercise as part of daily physical activity appears to provide increased heart-protective health benefits in children and teens, a Canadian study suggests. Bouts of high-intensity physical activity — such as running, swimming or playing soccer — are superior to longer periods of light and moderate exercise in reducing the risk factors that set kids on a path towards cardiovascular disease. The findings were published online Monday by the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine. In the study of 605 Alberta schoolchildren, aged nine to 17, researchers found that seven minutes a day of intense physical activity was associated with significant reductions in body weight and blood pressure levels, as well as increased fitness. When it came to waist circumference, participants who did the highest amount of vigorous exercise each day pared their mid-sections by seven centimetres on average. Overweight subjects in that group reduced their waistlines by five centimetres. “That is a huge difference,” said principal researcher Jonathan McGavock, an exercise physiologist at the Manitoba Institute of Child Health. “If we look at physical activity as the magic bullet or drug that is going to have health benefits, such as reducing the risk of overweight or reducing the risk of high blood pressure, a higher intensity is like taking a higher dose of that drug,” he said Monday.
“It says that the more intense the exercise is, the less likely (youth) are to be overweight or to have high blood pressure, compared to (those doing) lower-intensity exercise.” The cross-sectional study included 248 boys and 357 girls, about a quarter of whom were overweight or obese. Data was taken from the 2008 Healthy Hearts Prospective Cohort Study of Physical Activity and Cardiometabolic Health in Youth. Participants wore accelerometers on their hips, which measure the amount and intensity of physical activity, for a maximum of seven days. Those who engaged in the lowest-intensity exercise, deemed light physical activity, clocked 133 minutes or just over two hours of easy walking. Participants who tallied the highest amount of light exercise walked for 244 minutes, almost twice as much. “Despite the fact that they’re getting over an hour — almost two hours — more light activity, we didn’t see any differences in their waist, in their body weight, in their blood pressure or in their fitness,” said McGavock. Yet those engaging in vigorous activity, ranging from a low of a minute and a half to 8.7 minutes daily, appeared to reap greater rewards from a more intense — albeit much shorter — physical workout, he said. “So what was really novel was that over a very short increment in time, you were seeing a lot of health benefits associated with it.” Canada’s physical activity guidelines recommend that children aged five to 17 need 60 minutes of moderate- to

With summer in its dying days and flu season looming, public health programs countrywide are gearing up for the push to inject millions of doses of flu vaccine into arms. A new study suggests those arms are more likely to belong to Canadians of a variety of ethnic backgrounds - Filipino, Japanese, Chinese and southeast Asian among them - than to people who describe themselves as white.

on medical scams, and says studies of acupuncture often involve strict research conditions that don’t mirror how the procedure is used in the real world. The new analysis combined results from studies of patients with common types of chronic pain — recurring headaches, arthritis or back, neck and shoulder. The studies had randomly assigned patients to acupuncture and either fake acupuncture or standard pain treatment including medication or physical therapy. The authors explained their statistical findings by using a pain scale of 0 to 100: The patients’ average baseline pain measured 60; it dropped to 30 on average in those who got acupuncture, 35 in those who got fake acupuncture, and 43 in the usual treatment group. While the difference in results for real versus fake acupuncture was small, it suggests acupuncture could have more than a psychological effect, said lead author Andrew Vickers, a cancer researcher at Memorial Sloan-Kettering. The centre offers acupuncture and other alternative therapies for cancer patients with hard-to-treat pain. The analysis was more rigorous than most research based on pooling previous studies’ results, because the authors obtained original data from each study. That makes the conclusion more robust, said Dr. Andrew Avins, author of an Archives commentary and a physician and researcher with the University of California at San Francisco and Kaiser-Permanente.

TORONTO — With summer in its dying days and flu season looming, public health programs countrywide are gearing up for the push to inject millions of doses of flu vaccine into arms. A new study suggests those arms are more likely to belong to Canadians of a variety of ethnic backgrounds — Filipino, Japanese, Chinese and southeast Asian among them — than to Canadians who describe themselves as white or black. In fact, of 12 ethnic groups, all were more likely to get a flu shot than white or black Canadians. Those two groups were essentially equally likely — or unlikely — to agree to get a flu shot, the study found. Lead study author Susan Quach admits the results came as a surprise. She and her co-authors are not entirely clear what’s behind the finding. One idea is that some ethnic communities may be “shielded” to a degree from anti-vaccination messages. “One of the things we thought it could be related to was just exposure to the anti-vaccination media,” says Quach, a research associate at Public Health Ontario who specializes in influenza studies. “They might have less exposure to this due to language issues, or where they seek health information. They might be influenced by family and health professionals differently on decisions about vaccinations versus other groups.” The findings may help officials who devise health policy and people who craft public health messaging to figure out how to reach more people when provinces and territories announce they are offering flu shots. Those announcements are coming soon. Flu shot programs will start within the three to six weeks, depending on the jurisdiction. For instance, British Columbia hopes to start delivering vaccine in mid-October, says Dr. Perry Kendall, the province’s chief medical officer of health. Manitoba’s program is aiming to start in early to mid-October, when Ontario plans to kick off its effort. Saskatchewan expects to start vaccinating in late October. Precise timing and delivery location information can be obtained from each provincial or territorial ministry of health. Most jurisdictions in Canada offer shots for free to all. The four that don’t — British Columbia, Quebec, New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador — still provide free vaccines to a range of people, including the el-
derly, people with chronic conditions, young children and household contacts of those people. And this year in a Canadian first, B.C. is requiring health-care workers to be vaccinated, or to wear masks during flu season. The flu shot study, published in this week’s Canadian Medical Association Journal, used data collected through Statistics Canada’s Canadian Community Health Survey. The survey asks respondents — chosen to represent a cross-section of Canadian society — a variety of questions about their health. It also asks people to identify their ethnic background. The researchers amalgamated data from the surveys conducted in 2003, 2004, 2007, 2008 and 2009, in the process accumulating a pool of nearly 440,000 respondents. Then they looked at the answer to the question “Did you receive a flu shot last year?” and correlated it by ethnic background. One year’s data wouldn’t have given them enough people in the individual ethnic groups to draw solid conclusions. But with such a large number of respondents, patterns of behaviour started to become clear. People who identified themselves as Filipino Canadians were twice as likely to get a flu shot as people who described themselves as white or black. Canadians of southeast Asian origin were 1.66 times more likely. Korean Canadians were 1.48 times more likely to get vaccinated against influenza than white Canadians. Why would that be? That’s the key question, but this study can’t answer it. It does, however, serve as a starting point for more research to get to the bottom of the issue. Dr. Kumanan Wilson, a researcher who explores vaccine acceptance issues, says the answer isn’t about being from a particular ethnic group. It is something about the values or lifestyles or behaviour patterns of people within those groups that explains the acceptance of or resistance to flu shots. “It’s not like being white makes you less likely to get vaccinated,” says Wilson, a Canada Research Chair in health policy at the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute. “The factors going along with that are what contributed to these people not being vaccinated. ... What are those other factors that cluster along with ethnicity that contribute to the behaviour and are they modifiable?” Wilson says finding these answers will help in targeting groups to persuade them to get flu shots.

CHICAGO — Acupuncture gets a thumbs-up for helping relieve pain from chronic headaches, backaches and arthritis in a review of more than two dozen studies — the latest analysis of an often-studied therapy that has as many fans as critics. Some believe its only powers are a psychological, placebo effect. But some doctors believe even if that’s the explanation for acupuncture’s effectiveness, there’s no reason not to offer it if it makes people feel better. The new analysis examined 29 studies involving almost 18,000 adults. The researchers concluded that the needle remedy worked better than usual pain treatment and slightly better than fake acupuncture. That kind of analysis is not the strongest type of research, but the authors took extra steps, including examining raw data from the original studies. The results “provide the most robust evidence to date that acupuncture is a reasonable referral option,” wrote the authors, who include researchers with Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York and several universities in England and Germany. Their study isn’t proof, but it adds to evidence that acupuncture may benefit a range of conditions. The new analysis was published online Monday in Archives of Internal Medicine. The federal government’s National Center for Complementary and Alterna-
tive Medicine paid for most of the study, along with a small grant from the Samueli Institute, a non-profit group that supports research on alternative healing. Acupuncture’s use has become more mainstream. The military has used it to help treat pain from war wounds, and California recently passed legislation that would include acupuncture among treatments recommended for coverage under provisions of the nation’s new health care law. That law requires insurance plans to cover certain categories of benefits starting in 2014. Deciding specifics is being left up to the states. Some private insurance plans already cover acupuncture; Medicare does not. In traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture involves inserting long, very thin needles just beneath the skin’s surface at specific points on the body to control pain or stress. Several weekly sessions are usually involved, typically costing about $60 to $100 per session. Fake acupuncture studied in research sometimes also uses needles, but on different areas of the body. Scientists aren’t sure what biological mechanism could explain how acupuncture might relieve pain, but the authors of the new study say the results suggest there’s more involved than just a placebo effect. Acupuncture skeptic Dr. Stephen Barrett said the study results are dubious. The retired psychiatrist runs Quackwatch, a website

Protesters destroy an American flag pulled down from the U.S. embassy in Cairo, Egypt, Tuesday. Egyptian protesters, largely ultra conservative Islamists, have climbed the walls of the U.S. embassy in Cairo, went into the courtyard and brought down the flag, replacing it with a black flag with Islamic inscription, in protest of a film deemed offensive of Islam.
CAIRO, Egypt — Mainly ultraconservative protesters climbed the walls of the U.S. Embassy in Egypt’s capital Tuesday and brought down the American flag, replacing it with a black Islamist flag to protest a U.S.-produced film attacking the Prophet Muhammad. Hours later, armed men in eastern Libya also stormed the US consulate there and set it on fire as anger spread. It was the first time ever that the U.S. Embassy in Cairo has been breached and comes as Egypt is struggling to overcome months of unrest following the ouster of Hosni Mubarak’s autocratic regime. U.S. officials said no Americans were reported harmed in the assaults in Cairo or the eastern city of Benghazi. The unrest in Cairo began when hundreds of protesters marched to the downtown embassy, gathering outside its walls and chanting against the movie and the U.S. “Say it, don’t fear: Their ambassador must leave,” the crowd chanted. Dozens of protesters then scaled the embassy walls, and several went into the courtyard and took down the flag from a pole. They brought it back to the crowd outside, which tried to burn it, but failing that tore it apart. The protesters on the wall then raised on the flagpole a black flag with a Muslim declaration of faith, “There is no god but God and Muhammad is his prophet.” The flag, similar to the banner used by al-Qaida, is commonly used by ultraconservatives around the region. The crowd grew throughout the evening with thousands standing outside the embassy. Dozens of riot police lined up along the embassy walls but did not stop pro-
testers as they continued to climb and stand on the wall — though it appeared no more went into the compound. The crowd chanted, “Islamic, Islamic. The right of our prophet will not die.” Some shouted, “We are all Osama,” referring to al-Qaida leader bin Laden. Young men, some in masks, sprayed graffiti on the walls. Some grumbled that Islamist President Mohammed Morsi had not spoken out about the movie. A group of women in black veils and robes that left only their eyes exposed chanted, “Worshippers of the Cross, leave the Prophet Muhammad alone.” By midnight, the crowd had dwindled. The U.S. Embassy said on its Twitter account that there will be no visa services on Wednesday because of the protests. A senior Egyptian security official at the embassy area said authorities allowed the protest because it was “peaceful.” When they started climbing the walls, he said he called for more troops, denying that the protesters stormed the embassy. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to reporters. The protest was sparked by outrage over a video being promoted by an extreme anti-Muslim Egyptian Christian campaigner in the United States. A 14-minute trailer of the movie, posted on the social website YouTube in an original English version and another dubbed into Egyptian Arabic, depicts Muhammad as a fraud, a womanizer and a madman in an overtly ridiculing way, showing him having sex and calling for massacres. Muslims find it offensive to depict Muhammad in any fashion, much less in an insulting way. The 2005 publication of 12 caricatures of the prophet Muhammad in a Danish newspaper triggered riots in many Muslim countries.
Five more charged in anti-government militia plot by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SAVANNAH — Four former Army soldiers and a civilian have been charged in new indictments for connections to an anti-government militia that authorities say was led by Fort Stewart troops who stockpiled weapons and talked of ultimately overthrowing the U.S. government. A grand jury indicted the five on charges of illegal gang activity and various counts involving theft, burglary and auto break-ins. Those crimes were committed to help fund the militia group, which called itself F.E.A.R., short for Forever Enduring Always Ready, District Attorney Tom Durden said Tuesday. “The burglaries and entering autos, they were committed in an effort to fund F.E.A.R. and what F.E.A.R. was at least advocating they wanted to accomplish,” said Durden, the top prosecutor for southeast Georgia’s Atlantic Judicial Circuit. Their plans included bombing a Savannah park fountain and poisoning apple crops in the state of Washington, prosecutors say. The new indictments Monday bring to 10 the total number of people charged in connection with the militia group. Four are soldiers serving at neighbouring Fort Stewart and are charged with murder in the December slayings of former soldier Michael Roark and his teenage girlfriend, Tiffany York. Prosecutors say Roark had access to the militia leader’s credit cards and made purchases for the group, but they haven’t said what he bought. Authorities say Roark was killed, along with York, after he left the Army in order to protect the group and its plots. A wife of one of the soldiers has also been charged in the slayings.
Fort Stewart officials confirmed four of the men charged in the latest indictments are former soldiers — Christopher Jenderseck, 26, Adam Dearman, 27, Timothy Joiner, 21, and Anthony Garner, 23. Three of them were discharged from the Army between November and May, while Jenderseck’s enlistment ended in April. The fifth man charged was Dearman’s brother, Randall Blake Dearman. Their father, Randy Dearman, declined to comment when reached by phone Tuesday. Durden said civilian authorities aren’t sure how many members the militia group had. Army officials said they weren’t surprised by the new indictments involving exsoldiers, but they aren’t saying how large the group was either. “We remain confident there are no unknown subjects,” Fort Stewart spokesman Kevin Larson said in a statement. “The five individuals indicted today ... were known to the investigation and were not publicly identified previously to preserve the integrity of the investigation and ongoing civilian legal proceedings.” Adam Dearman has been jailed since December on charges of aggravated assault and possession of a firearm during a commission of a felony. Prosecutors said Dearman shot and wounded a man Dec. 6 in what they now believe was an attack related to the militia. The victim in the shooting, Jimmy Smith, declined to comment when reached by phone. Prosecutors now plan to seek two additional gang-related charges against Dearman after receiving information from authorities investigating the militia case in southeast Georgia. “Our contention is that the cases are connected, this is part of that street gang activ-
ity,” said Leon Jourolmon, chief assistant district attorney for the Northern Judicial Circuit. He would not comment on the specifics of the case. The indictments in south Georgia charged Joiner with three home burglaries, nine car break-ins, and other thefts of items including guns, cellphones, GPS devices, bulletproof vest, a motorcycle helmet and a woman’s debit cards. Randall Dearman was also charged in two of the burglaries and the car break-ins, which all occurred within a two-day period in mid-December. Adam Dearman helped co-ordinate the thefts, according to the indictment. Garner was charged with receiving more than $500 worth of stolen goods from the burglaries. Joiner answered his cellphone Tuesday but declined to discuss the case. “I’m a proud Republican,” Joiner said. “I will not make any comments about this on the record until I am in court.” Relatives of Jenderseck and Garner could not immediately be reached. It was not clear if any of the men had hired attorneys. Only one of the new indictments was related to the double slaying. Jenderseck was charged with evidence tampering. Durden said he had helped the accused soldiers burn clothing they had worn during the killings of Roark and York, who were found shot to death in some woods near Fort Stewart. Prosecutors have charged Army Pvt. Isaac Aguigui, Sgt. Anthony Peden and Pvt. Christopher Salmon with murder and are seeking the death penalty. Salmon’s wife, Heather Salmon, has also been charged in the deaths. A fourth soldier, Pfc. Michael Burnett, pleaded guilty last month to reduced charges after agreeing to help prosecute the other accused troops.
China sends patrol ships to islands in dispute of Japan purchase by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BEIJING — A territorial flareup between China and Japan intensified Tuesday as two Beijingsent patrol ships arrived near disputed East China Sea islands in a show of anger over Tokyo’s purchase of the largely barren outcroppings from their private owners. The China Marine Surveillance has drawn up a plan to safeguard China’s sovereignty of the islands and the ships were sent to assert those claims, said the Chinese government’s official news agency, Xinhua. The marine agency is a paramilitary force whose ships are often lightly armed. The rocky islands, known as Senkaku to Japanese and Diaoyu to Chinese, have been the focus of recurring spats between the countries and also are claimed by Taiwan. The China-Japan dispute has been heating up in recent months, in part because the nationalist governor of Tokyo proposed buying the islands and developing them. Japan’s central government announced its own deal this week with the Japanese family it recognizes as the owner. Chief Cabinet Secretary Osamu Fujimura told reporters the government budgeted 2.05 billion yen ($26 million)
for the purchase “to maintain the Senkakus peacefully and stably.” Public broadcaster NHK said the government and the family signed a deal Tuesday. The central government does not plan to develop the islands. Several experts interpreted the move as an attempt to block the plan by Tokyo Gov. Shintaro Ishihara, which could have raised tensions further. Ishihara also had said he hoped to visit the islands in October. “Ishihara put the national government in a very difficult spot. He pushed them into doing this now,” said Sheila Smith, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations in Washington. But she said this was a “good outcome” that should be seen as an attempt by Tokyo to sideline Ishihara. Japan cannot afford to let the dispute hinder its vital ties with China, its top trading partner, she said. Smith said Tokyo needs to be able to work through “different problems with Beijing in order to make sure the economic interdependence between those two countries continues to serve both nations’ needs.” Beijing, however, responded with fury. “The determination and the will of the Chinese government and military to safeguard their
territorial integrity are firm,” Chinese Defence Ministry spokesman Geng Yansheng said in a statement. “We are closely monitoring the development of the situation and reserve the right to take necessary measures.” Japan has claimed the islands since 1895. The U.S. took jurisdiction after World War II and turned them over to Japan in 1972. But Beijing sees the purchase as an affront to its claims and its past calls for negotiations. The United States steered clear of wading into the dispute, and just urged the two sides to resolve it through dialogue. Japan is a staunch U.S. ally, but Washington says it does not take a position on the conflicting territorial claims. It also does not want to further strain its own relations with China. “In the current environment we want cooler heads to prevail,” Kurt Campbell, the top U.S. diplomat for East Asia, said in Washington. “This (the Asia-Pacific) is the cockpit of the global economy and the stakes could not be bigger. The desire is for all leaders to keep that in mind.” Carlyle Thayer, an expert on regional security at the University of New South Wales in Australia, said the sending of the Chinese patrol boats “ups the stakes.”
“It’s a tit-for-tat response because China is extremely sensitive about sovereignty matters,” he said. Japan’s coast guard said it has not taken any special measures in response to the Chinese patrol boats although it continues to monitor the situation. Thayer said the Chinese boats would likely stop short of entering the 12 nautical miles around the islands that are considered territorial waters and administered by Japan. “Japan has a pretty robust navy, a very strong and active professional coast guard. What is possible are the kinds of confrontations like occurred at Scarborough Shoal,” a disputed reef where Chinese and Philippine boats faced off earlier this year. “It’s all posturing. It’s a game of who blinks first,” Thayer said. Beijing’s anger has been accompanied by heated reporting in China’s state media. Reactions to Japanese actions are sometimes overstated in China, and a commentator in the People’s Liberation Army Daily, the main newspaper of China’s military, called Japan’s move “the most blatant challenge to China’s sovereignty since the end of World War II.” China on Tuesday also started broadcasting a daily marine weather report for the islands.

Andrew Timson, 7, etches the name of his slain uncle, Andrew Fisher, at ceremonies marking the eleventh anniversary of terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, Tuesday, in New York. New York City is commemorating the eleventh anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center. cleaning up tons of debris, said another year has changed nothing for him. “The 11th year, for me, it’s the same as if it happened yesterday. It could be 50 years from now, and to me, it’ll be just as important as year one, or year five or year 10,” Torres said. Vice-President Joe Biden attended a memorial service in Pennsylvania, where one of the hijacked airliners crashed in the fields of Shanksville. “No matter how many anniversaries ... the terror of that moment returns,” Biden said. Other ceremonies were held across the country, but some cities scaled back — the New York suburb of Glen Rock, New Jersey, where 11 people were killed, did not hold a memorial this year for the first time. “It was appropriate for this year — not that the losses will ever be forgot-

ten,” said Brad Jordan, chairman of a community group that helps victims’ families. “But we felt it was right to shift the balance a bit from the observance of loss to a commemoration of how the community came together to heal.” The anniversary led to a brief pause in the presidential campaign as Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney pulled their negative ads and avoided campaign rallies. Romney shook hands with firefighters at Chicago’s O’Hare Airport and was flying to Nevada to address the National Guard, whose members deployed after the attacks. The terror attacks were followed by wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. At least 1,987 U.S. troops have died in Afghanistan and 4,475 in Iraq, according to the Pentagon.
Allied military forces marked the anniversary at a short ceremony at NATO’s headquarters in Kabul, Afghanistan with a tribute to more than 3,000 foreign troops killed in the decade-long war. “Eleven years on from that day, there should be no doubt that our dedication to this commitment, that commitment that was seared into our souls that day so long ago, remains strong and unshaken,” said Marine Gen. John Allen, the top commander of U.S. and coalition troops. The National Sept. 11 Memorial and Museum announced this summer that this year’s ceremony would include the words of family members, hoping to remember the dead and honour families “in a way free of politics” in an election year, memorial President Joe Daniels said.

NEW YORK — Americans marked the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on a crisp, sunny day much like the one 11 years ago when nearly 3,000 victims were killed in the worst terror attack in U.S. history. The commemoration was smaller and more subdued, a reflection of the nation moving on after a decade of remembrance. Hundreds gathered at the World Trade Center site in New York, the Pentagon and Shanksville, Pennsylvania, to read the names of the dead. “Our country is safer, and our people are resilient,” President Barack Obama said in a ceremony at the White House. He and first lady Michelle Obama laid a wreath at the Pentagon, above a concrete slab that said “Sept. 11, 2001 — 937 am.” They later visited the graves of recent war dead from Afghanistan and Iraq at Arlington National Cemetery. The U.S. military death toll years ago surpassed the 9-11 victim count. Some said last year’s 10th anniversary was a turning point for public mourning. For the first time, elected officials weren’t speaking at the New York ceremony. “I feel much more relaxed” this year, said Jane Pollicino, who came to remember her husband, who was killed at the trade centre. “It’s another anniversary that we can commemorate in a calmer way, without that 10-year pressure.” Thousands had attended the ceremony in New York in previous years. This time, the crowd reached about 1,000 by late Tuesday morning. A few hundred attended ceremonies at the Pentagon and in Pennsylvania. As bagpipes played at the year-old Sept. 11 memorial in New York, families bowed their heads in silence at 8:46 a.m., the moment that the first hijacked jetliner crashed into the trade centre’s north tower, and again to mark the crashes into the second tower, the Pentagon and a Pennsylvania field. More than 4 million people have visited the memorial in the past year. On Tuesday, much of downtown Manhattan bustled like a regular weekday, except for clusters of police and emergency vehicles on the borders of the site.

Taliban sanctions can help clear the way for peace UN REPORT SAYS NEW SANCTIONS REGIME ENCOURAGING BUT MORE OBSTACLES REMAIN BEFORE TALKS CAN HAPPEN WITH AFGHAN GOVERNMENT BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BY MICHAEL GRACZYK THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The world will soon get its first good look at the wreckage of the only U.S. Navy ship sunk in combat in the Gulf of Mexico during the Civil War, thanks to sophisticated 3-D sonar images that divers have been collecting this week in the Gulf’s murky depths. The USS Hatteras, an iron-hulled 210-foot (64-meter)-long ship that sunk about 20 miles (32 kilometres) off the coast of Galveston, Texas, in January 1863, has sat mostly undisturbed and unnoticed since its wreckage was found in the early 1970s. But recent storm-caused shifts in the seabed where the Hatteras rests 57 feet (17 ½ metres) below the surface have exposed more of it to inspection, and researchers are rushing to get as complete an image of the ship as possible before the sand and silt shifts back. “You can mark Gettysburg or Manassas, (but) how do you mark a battlefield in the sea?” said Jim Delgado, the director of maritime heritage for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Office of National Marine Sanctuaries, and the person overseeing the project. On Monday, a team of archaeologists and technicians began two days of scanning the wreckage using a sonar imaging technology that hadn’t been used yet at sea, Delgado said. On Monday aboard the research vessel, Manta, researcher Christopher Horrell gleefully pored over computer images of the Hatteras’ stern and paddlewheels that had just been transmitted from the seafloor. “This is what I got into archaeology for. It’s fantastic,” said Horrell, a senior marine archaeologist for the Department of the Interior. The images, taken by a roughly 2-foot (61-centimetre)-long cylindrical device deposited near the wreckage, were used to position divers who then used 3-D scanning devices to map the site. The sand and siltfilled water near the seafloor limited the divers’ visibility to 3 to 10 feet (one to three meters), and it makes filming or photographing the wreckage difficult. But it doesn’t affect the sonar technology, which produces images by analyzing sound waves bouncing off of objects, allowing scientists to capture a more complete look at the wreckage.
sanctions regime can help clear the way,” the report said. The Security Council imposed sanctions against the Taliban in November 1999 for refusing to send Osama bin Laden to the United States or a third country for trial on terrorism charges in connection with the bombings of the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998. The sanctions — a travel ban, arms embargo and assets freeze — were later extended to al-Qaida and remain in effect in the new Taliban sanctions regime. The report said implementing the sanctions is a challenge in a country which borders six nations and has many un-policed roads, where less than 7 per cent of the population has a bank account, where large areas are too dangerous for the government to operate, and which is rife with corruption. “In addition, 114 of the 131 Taliban and Taliban-associated individuals who are subject to the new sanctions regime have been subject to identical
sanctions since 2001 under the al-Qaida and Taliban sanctions regime,” the report said. “Though not all are still active, the sa nctions have clearly had limited impact on those who are.” The monitoring team also found that the number of times any of the 192 other U.N. member states have applied any of the three sanctions is very low. “Nonetheless, the team believes that the sanctions have had an important deterrent effect on listed individuals who may have wished to travel or use formal banking services,” it said. The monitoring team noted that it was not long after the Security Council split the Taliban and al-Qaida sanctions regimes last year that the Taliban made public their decision to enter talks. As the emphasis in Afghanistan shifts from military activity to political activity and U.S. and coalition forces prepare to withdraw by the end of 2014, the team said, “there is a greater chance that the sanctions will make a
difference.” Both the government of Afghanistan and the Taliban have set out their conditions for reconciliation. “Essentially, the government conditions — renouncing violence, breaking with al-Qaida, and accepting the constitution — are the reverse of the criteria set by the Security Council for imposing sanctions, and mirror the requirements for a listed individual to have his name removed,” the report said. “The Taliban conditions for peace — the withdrawal of foreign forces, the release of prisoners, and the removal of their names from the sanctions list — suggest that sanctions matter,” the report said. “They will matter even more if implementation is effective,” the monitoring team said. The new sanctions regime provides for exemptions to the asset freeze and travel ban, and the team predicted that decisions on granting exemptions “are likely to have as big an impact on the promotion of a political process in Afghanistan as will the full implementation of the measures.”

A new U.N. sanctions regime targeting the Taliban has encouraged overtures by the militant group’s leaders but many obstacles remain before talks with the Afghan government can begin, let alone end a war that continues to rage, a U.N.-appointed monitoring team said in its first report Tuesday. The Taliban ruled Afghanistan for five years before being driven out of power in the U.S.-led invasion in late 2001 and has been fighting President Hamid Karzai’s government since it took power. In a move aimed at supporting the Afghan government’s reconciliation efforts and more effectively fighting global terrorism, the U.N. Security Council decided in June 2011 to treat the Taliban and al-Qaida separately when it comes to U.N. sanctions. In a report to the council analyzing the impact of the new Taliban sanctions regime, the monitoring team concluded that “there will be many upsets before Afghanistan is firmly on the road towards peace, stability and security.” “But the team has no doubt that the
