Man files lawsuit over 2011 forcible removal from Red Deer provincial courthouse

A 960 KM BIKE RIDE FOR A CAUSE

BY ADVOCATE STAFF A deaf and mute Red Deer man who was forcibly removed from the Red Deer provincial courthouse is seeking $1.5 million in aggravated and punitive damages in a civil suit. Bill Berry, 54, filed the paperwork on Thursday. The charges are in relation to a December 2011 incident when Berry, after entering the courthouse through the wrong doors, was pushed, grabbed and placed in a bear hug while sheriffs attempted to drag him from the courthouse. An investigation concluded that the now former sheriff Thomas Bounds used “excessive” and “unjustified” force in the incident. The RCMP did not recommend charges. The claim states there were no grounds for Berry’s detention or the use of force. As a result of the assault, Berry alleges he sustained injuries including post traumatic stress disorder and pneuomothorax and multiple contusions. Berry claims he is unable to perform valuable services such as child care because of the injuries. The suit states the action of the sheriffs were high-handed and malicious and an abuse of their authority. The claim states the conditions endured by Berry were inhumane and cruel and that the Crown is vicariously liable for the actions of the sheriffs. Named in the suit are Bounds, Paul Vassallo, Vance Johnson, Wesley Allison, Mark Mercer and the Province of Alberta. Berry is represented by the Edmontonbased lawyer Erika Norheim. The defendants have not yet filed a statement of defence. Video of the incident was captured from several of the courthouse cameras showing a chain of events from when Berry entered the building to when he was followed out by a sheriff and two medics. The Crown stayed aggravated assault charges against Bounds in April.

Canadians helping key scientific mystery same way. If that’s the case, it may help explain why the universe is made up of mostly matter and not antimatter — a phenomenon that scientists have been trying to unravel for years, said University of British Columbia physicist Hirohisa Tanaka. Tanaka, who led a group responsible for analyzing data in the neutrino experiment known as T2K, said neutrinos come in three types and are intrinsically linked to matter. Their counterparts, anti-neutrinos, also come in the same three types, and are similarly linked to anti-matter. When the universe was created, the Big Bang converted energy into matter and antimatter — two materials that destroy each other when they come into contact. “In some sense, we’re asking why

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER — Science is one step closer to solving one of the most profound mysteries in the cosmos due to what an international team of physicists say is an unprecedented observation about a fundamental particle in the universe. Representatives from a team of 400 scientists from 11 countries, including Canada, revealed Friday that, for the first time, a muon neutrino was seen transformed into an electron neutrino — something never witnessed before. The observation, announced at the European Physical Society Conference on High Energy Physics in Stockholm, allows for the possibility that neutrinos’ counterpart, anti-neutrinos, may not behave in the

anything exists at all, if it wasn’t annihilated by equal quantities of matter and antimatter,” Tanaka said in an interview. “There’s some kind of imbalance that occurred when the matter became dominant, and that is something that we can’t explain.” Antimatter has been the fodder for many science fiction enthusiasts, used to power starships in Star Trek, and threatened to annihilate the Vatican in the popular 2000 novel Angels and Demons. In the T2K experiment, scientists created muon neutrinos with a particle accelerator at a facility on the east coast of Japan and shot a beam of them through the ground. Three hundred kilometres at the other side of the country, the neutrinos were observed in a massive detector called the Super-Kamiokande.

Canada Post unveils stamps dedicated to Canadian rock bands RUSH, TRAGICALLY HIP, GUESS WHO AND BEAU DOMMAGE FEATURED BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Sending letters now comes with some rock-and-roll flare after Canada Post launched its stamp series depicting legendary Canadian bands. Four bands — Rush, The Guess Who, The Tragically Hip and Beau Dommage — are honoured in the series, which went on sale Friday. The bands have collectively sold millions of records worldwide and can boast large fan bases built up over decades. Drummer Garry Peterson of The Guess Who said the band members had a role in designing their stamp — the band name in white emblazoned over a red maple leaf with a black background. Peterson said they opted for a logo instead of a group photo, which is the case for the stamps of The Tragically Hip and Beau Dommage. “There have been many, many, many talented musicians that have helped the band to the position of prominence in music that it has today,” he said. “It was appropriate just to have the Canadian maple

Collectible items are launched in conjunction with the new stamps but they sell out quickly, she said, adding that a Rush frame was sold out in preorders before hitting the shelves. Each band had a different focus for their stamp, whether it was a particular band photo or album cover, she said. “What we try to do is really capture some of the key images that really represents these bands,” she said. Losier said there’s a stamp advisory committee that will choose the next artists who will be added to the collection. New stamps are added every two years and the 2013 series was announced in April to coincide with the Juno Awards. Losier said she hopes that long-time fans will enjoy the stamps but that they will also help to open a door to those unfamiliar with the bands’ music. “Maybe some of the newer generations can really discover these bands,” she said.

leaf because we are a Canadian band.” The Guess Who was founded in 1962 and is still recording and performing shows around the world. Peterson said despite various accolades and tributes over the years, the issuing of a stamp in honour of the band is “very special.” “I feel the same way now as the first time we had a hit record in the United States,” he said. “Who would think that guys from Winnipeg, Manitoba, would have a stamp set forth for them? It’s kind of unbelievable.” Peterson said the band first heard about the stamp a few months ago, and they were sworn to secrecy about the design. It’s the first time in the Canadian Recording Artist stamp collection that whole bands are shown instead of individual artists. Canada Post spokeswoman Anick Losier said past tributes have included Bryan Adams, Joni Mitchell and Stompin’ Tom Connors. “We’re really quite excited ... as you know these bands have all had a tremendous impact on Cana-

Donated sculpture adorns Little Gaetz INTERNATIONALLY ACCLAIMED ARTIST ROYDEN MILLS GREW UP IN RED DEER, BEGAN ARTISTIC TRAINING AT RDC BY ADVOCATE STAFF Little Gaetz Avenue has a formidable new resident — about three metres high and made of welded steel. The sculpture, titled Onisama, by Edmonton artist Royden Mills, was installed on the southwest corner of 52nd Street and Little Gaetz Avenue this month. Margaret Schroeder Johnston, of Red Deer, recently donated the piece to the city. Both the artist and the donor have a history with the area that the sculpture now calls home. Mills grew up in Red Deer and for many years his father ran Mills Carpets a half-block north of the location. Johnston started her career in funeral service at Eventide Funeral Chapel downtown. “The connections between Royden’s earlier life, Mrs. Johnston’s earlier life, their family, and the his-

tory of Gaetz Avenue, give this piece so much more value and we couldn’t be happier to have it as a part of the revitalized Little Gaetz,” said Pat Matheson, the city’s public art co-ordinator in a press release. The piece is meant to represent a guardian or comforting presence to the viewer. It’s the second piece by Mills in Red Deer. He also created the large steel sculpture located by the downtown water fountain on Alexander Way that represents Red Deer’s rail history. Mills, an internationally acclaimed sculptor, has artworks across North America. He took early artistic training at Red Deer College and now teaches sculpture at the University of Alberta. Onisama was completed in 2005. “The donation of art, especially of works of such large scale and value, isn’t a common practice, so we are very fortunate that Mrs. Johnston chose Red Deer to approach with this gift,” Matheson said.

Clive-area farmer guilty of break-ins, seeks treatment BY ADVOCATE STAFF

Photo contributed

The Hideout, a pub located in Gasoline Alley south of Red Deer, held a Flood Relief Fun-Raiser this week. A dunk tank and a kissing booth were featured and customers were encouraged to donate cash to help Albertans affected by the recent flooding.

A Clive-area farmer has pleaded guilty to breaking into nearby homes and performing sexual acts with women’s underwear. Emyr Morris, 30, admitted in Red Deer provincial court on Friday to a series of break-ins dating back to Nov. 4, 2012. Police had been called to investigate by a woman who reported that, on a number of occasions, she had found signs of an intruder in her house, including soiled bras and panties that did not belong to her. The woman and her husband set up video surveillance in their house, submitting the recordings to police investigators, Crown prosecutor Tony Bell said while outlining the facts for Judge Bill Andreasson. Morris was arrested and charged with several offences, including housebreaking, criminal harassment and performing an indecent act. Two more sets of charges were laid when other residents of the area contacted police with similar stories after learning about the break-ins. One woman reported coming home to find someone else’s semen-soiled bra in her kitchen. At the request of the Crown, Andreasson placed a publication ban on information that would identify the victims. Released earlier from custody and represented by Edmonton lawyer Shawn Beaver, Morris pleaded guilty to reduced charges including break and enter at three houses in the rural area near Clive. Beaver told the court that his client was recently diagnosed with a mental disorder and is being treated as an outpatient. He asked that sentencing be adjourned to allow time to prepare a pre-sentence report as to allow Morris time to help with the fall harvest. Morris is to return to court on Oct. 11 for sentencing.

Alberta MLA formally Wildrose calls flood charged in prostitution ring maps out of date, wants MIKE ALLEN FACES A GROSS MISDEMEANOUR CHARGE OF SOLICITATION OF PROSTITUTION IN A PUBLIC PLACE

new provincial ones

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — An Alberta politician has been formally charged with paying for prostitutes south of the border in Minnesota. Mike Allen, member of the legislature for Fort McMurray-Wood Buffalo, was arrested Monday during a police sting in St. Paul. A court document alleges that Allen, 51, phoned a number listed on an online erotic ad and arranged for a meeting. It says he took a limo to a motel, not knowing he was actually meeting an undercover female officer. “The defendant agreed to pay $200 in exchange for sexual intercourse with two women for one hour while wearing a condom,” says the statement of probable cause. “The defendant placed the cash on the counter and began to undress.” The female officer then gave a “bust signal” and other police entered the room and arrested Allen, says the document. Single with grown children, Allen faces a gross misdemeanour charge of solicitation of prostitution in a public place. The charge carries a maximum one-year sentence and a $3,000 fine. He has been ordered to appear in St. Paul court on Sept. 30. Allen issued a written statement Friday saying he had learned about the charge the through the media “as expected.” He plans to meet with a lawyer “determine a course of action by the end of next week.” “I would like to reiterate my apology to my family, my friends, my constituents, my colleagues, my staff, and to all Albertans for the embarrassment I have caused,” Allen wrote. “I accept full responsibility for my actions.” Allen spent one night in custody

Mike Allen and was released Tuesday morning. He promptly phoned in his resignation from the governing Progressive Conservative caucus and issued a public apology before flying back to Edmonton. He continues to sit in the legislature as an Independent. The Opposition Wildrose has demanded Allen give up his seat. Premier Alison Redford said earlier this week that she was “disgusted” by Allen’s conduct, but added that it was up to his constituents to decide whether he should remain as a legislature member. She said he has repaid the $2,000 cost of his business trip to St. Paul. He was in the city attending a midwestern legislative conference.

HIGH RIVER, Alta. — Alberta’s official Opposition wants the government to draw up a new flood-zone map and mitigation plan within 60 days for communities affected by last month’s high water. The Wildrose party says flood victims in Calgary, High River, Canmore, Bragg Creek and Medicine Hat need to know where they stand so they can decide where to rebuild homes and businesses. The Wildrose says many people remain confused about which properties are considered to be in floodplains. The party also says out-of-date maps don’t account for measures that could be taken to lessen risks and minimize the number of people who might have to relocate. The Wildrose has suggested engineers be hired to determine possible mitigation methods and update which areas are actual floodplains Premier Alison Redford has said she understands people are frustrated, but the matter is complicated and current maps do show how people may be affected. Opposition Leader Danielle Smith says a meeting in High River on Thursday night showed just how frustrated and angry many High River residents are. “We should have been working on redrawing flood-zone maps, including a flood mitigation infrastructure plan, since flooding hit southern Alberta almost one month ago,” she said in a release Friday “We simply cannot delay any longer. The government needs to make this a priority.” Added her finance critic: “Alber-

tans need to know what zones will be safe and which ones won’t be safe, and so far the government has only managed to cause confusion for people across the province,” said Rob Anderson. “The government needs to get this done in the next 60 days max, so Albertans can begin rebuilding safely and responsibly.” In other flood-related news, Finance Minister Doug Horner said he plans to meet with financial institutions on Monday to finalize a plan to help small business owners hurt by the disaster. He said his goal is to give businesses “every chance” to make a quick recovery and get back on their feet. Initial estimates indicate up to 1,500 small businesses were directly damaged by the floods along with about 800 not-for-profit, agricultural enterprises and First Nations businesses.

Canada returning to relevance BY STEWART J. STAUDINGER SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE I was disappointed to read Bob Hepburn’s Strange love for colonial past article in the Advocate on July 13. Rarely is published such an ill-informed and blinkered misinterpretation of political motive. When I graduated from high school 1991 and moved to the U.K., I found that the Brits, Aussies, Kiwis, South Africans, Kenyans and other Commonwealth citizens of all backgrounds who I met referred to Canadians as “nice” and I was very disappointed to discover this was tactful British code for “irrelevant, spineless or unworthy of serious consideration.” I discovered this code from a few of the Aussies who were less inclined to adopt such polite terminology when conversing over a ‘jar’ and adopted somewhat more pointed terminology than I’ve printed here. Much of this view of Canada I understood as a teenager, hence my departure from the country of my birth, but it was not so simply and starkly laid out for me as in the university bar by my fellow adventurers from the rest of the Commonwealth. There are three types of nations in the world: those who lead, those who follow and those who merely drift. As a colony we once followed, as a dominion we learned to lead, as a nation we influenced world affairs out of proportion to our small population and economy; and then in the 1960s, Canada decided to merely drift. Our next door neighbour at Alix, a Second World War airman, summed up the course of events with: “There is nothing left that was worth any of my friends dying for, what a terrible waste of young lives.” In fact, the four-decade-long slide from a principled nation standing for justice, liberty and dynamic international engagement began as my parents’ generation came of voting age and long before most of Stephen Harper’s ‘base’ was even born. The absorption of the Royal Canadian Air Force, Canadian Army and Royal Canadian Navy into the Canadian Forces was a significant step on our nation’s slide into featureless mediocrity. By the ’80s, most of the rest of the world couldn’t tell you one fact about Canada or even where it was, and when they could, they often thought it was another American state. By the time of my arrival in the U.K. in ’91, in the eyes of most of the world, Canada had been reduced to unflattering comedy material for Monte Python and chairmanship of UN boards/projects/committees of such irrelevance that no other nation wished to waste their financial resources or diplomatic personnel on them. The Canadian military had been reduced to being only recognizable as the force whose political masters prevented it from engaging in any effort of note, and rather than defend liberty and justice in the name of Canada, spend much of its time standing by watching liberty and justice being destroyed by some of the most horrible ideologies on Earth. With the notable exception of small individual acts of heroism, generally in defiance of political direction, among the oppressed of the world the Canadian military was seen primarily as a disinterested observer and not a force of honour and courage that would come to their aid. In summary, Canada had evolved into the world’s first ‘mediocracy,’ courtesy of governing Liberal policy. Gone were the values of self-sacrifice, courage in adversity, heroic effort in the face of great odds and in their place were self-indulgence, self-loathing, political correctness and a general policy of talk but never act. Canada had gone from a leading force in the British Commonwealth and international affairs to a na-

Our nation had ceased to matter to anyone but those of us who found our nation’s ironic combination of self-loathing and selfrighteousness nauseating. What Harper understands is that this was not always so and need not continue. Our southern neighbours, so often found pontificating about liberty and democracy on the world stage, were nowhere to be seen from 1914-1917 when, against Imperial Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Canada stood shoulder to shoulder with France, Britain, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and countless other partners in the trenches of Europe. Fast forward to 1939, Canada once more stood proudly bearing an unequal share of the burden of defending freedom for three years before our neighbours from the south could stir themselves to help out. This sense of corporate responsibility and self-sacrifice made Canada a great nation. The prime minister understands that for Canada to re-establish itself as a leading light in the world and a defender of liberty and justice, it cannot do so under the dark shadow of the United States. The Commonwealth is seeing a rebirth in importance in international affairs, with a combined economic, political and military muscle to actually impact events. Under Harper’s statesmanship (a word that could not be applied to any Canadian leader for many decades), Canada has emerged alongside India as a leading influence in this organization, filling the void of the United Kingdom’s waning leadership having concurrently followed in Canada’s decent into political mediocrity whilst following the United States down a disastrous economic policy. Returning the Canadian military to its historic roots is not a “strange love for a colonial past,” it is the result of a ruthlessly efficient strategic policy of moving Canada out of the shadow of the U.S. and back into a position of influence in the world. When, as a leading nation of the Commonwealth, Canada stands alongside Australia, New Zealand, India, Kenya, South Africa, the United Kingdom and many other nations in taking proactive diplomatic and military measures to secure and defend liberty and justice in a troubled world, Canada’s military will do so from a platform that our partners under-

stand and recognize and our personnel will do so wearing rank that demonstrates both common values and common structure. There is no ‘I’ in ‘team,’ even for a nation. By adopting the title ‘Royal,’ the prime minister is challenging our nation, through our military and after four decades of self-indulgent hypocrisy and national self-loathing, to raise our chins, roll up our sleeves and rebuild a nation worthy of the word. Sir Winston Spencer-Churchill once opined that democracy was a terrible form of government, but it was generally less terrible than all the rest. Not that all democracies are equal either. We mustn’t forget that while constitutional monarchies were leading the abolition of slavery, using navies with ‘Royal’ in the title to do so, defending the free world against Napoleon, the Kaiser and Adolf Hitler, Republics were crowning Napoleon emperor, fighting bloody civil wars over slavery, sitting by and watching constitutional monarchies sacrifice their youth to defend the free world and, in the 1930s, electing the Nazis. Canadians who wish to trade our constitutional monarchy with an elected head of state either ignored history lessons at school or see themselves as a future Napoleon/Hitler. Our future king rescues people for a living and his younger brother puts his neck on the line alongside the regular people his brother will one day lead. Contrast those examples with the examples of our leading politicians and their families and then consider who you’d vote for. Perhaps we may well elect a future king, if only to give him a pointless rubber stamp; but then again, perhaps our prime minister has a point and four decades of ‘pointless’ is quite enough. So, while Bob Hepburn sits around promoting Canada’s lapse back into the mediocrity he so loves, the rest of us can get on with scraping off the mould and building a nation contributing to the advance of human civilization, instead of being dismissed as “nice” by the Brits, “irrelevant” by our other allies and going unnoticed by all the rest! Twenty-one years after abandoning a “lost cause,” I have returned to a nation renewed and once again taking a leadership role in the world. Vivre la Canada, nous renaissans!

By the 1990s, when democracy returned, they were even serving as junior partners in governing coalitions. Their senior coalition partner was the Bangladesh Nationalist Party, created by one of the generals and still led by his widow, Khaleda Zia. The other main party, the Awami League, is led by Sheikh Hasina, the daughter of the martyred “father of the nation,” Mujibur Rahman. The two women loathe each other, and their bitter rivalry has dominated and often paralyzed Bangladeshi politics for the past 20 years. Sheikh Hasina promised to put the perpetrators of the genocide on trial in her election platform in 2008. She won by a landslide, and the trials began in 2010. There was strong international support for her decision at first, but the conduct of the trials has left much to be desired. Most of the accused were certainly implicated in the killing, but the BNP has quite rightly accused the government of politicizing the trials. The Jamaat-e-Islami has portrayed the trials as an attack on Islam, and when the first death sentence was handed down in February there were violent nationwide protests by the Jamaat-e-Islami’s Youth League, leaving about 150 people dead. When the first life sentence was given out a few days later, hundreds of thousands of other young people demonstrated to demand the death penalty for all of those convicted.

They were driven by the fear that if the BNP wins the next election (due by January), then it will amnesty all the surviving Jamaat leaders to preserve its electoral alliance with the Islamist party. The Awami League has responded to their demand by passing a new law that shortened the time allowed for appeals, so that they can be hanged before the next election. Lynch law. There is a way out of this, and it could end the 20-year stalemate in Bangladeshi politics. In a poll before the last election, four out of five young Bangladeshis said they wanted to see the perpetrators of the genocide brought to trial: the crimes have not been forgotten. So give them what they want, but don’t kill anybody. The Awami League said that it was setting out to exorcise “historical ghosts”, and it can do so without hanging old men. Nor does the BNP need to preserve its alliance with Jamaat-e-Islami: the party only got three per cent of the vote in the last election. So let the convictions stand but don’t hang anybody — most of them will be dead in a few years anyway — and just move on. It would take more statesmanship than either party has shown in the past, but it would open the way to a better future for the country.

RED DEER ADVOCATE Saturday, July 20, 2013 A7

Always too young for tent shows at the Fair My Rotten Kid, the son one, once said to me: “Going to the Fair is my favourite thing to do — it’s even better than Christmas Day!” And that’s saying something, I figure, because it’s pretty tough to top Dec. 25, what with all the presents and the turkey dinners. Of course, the Fair has giant stuffed animals and corn dogs, so I can see where he’s coming from. In fact, he comes by it honestly, on account of if there was any single person in town who loved going to the Fair more than me back in the day, well, I would challenge him or her to a hearty round on the five-cent Diggers. We’d soon see who would get the ultimate prize — that stack of five nickels wrapped in cellophane! He or she would, HARLEY of course. I never could snag HAY that slippery stack with those remote controlled jaws. But that’s beside the point. As I may have mentioned several hundred times, I grew up in Parkvale within spitting distance of the Red Deer Fair when it was all crammed into the old Arena parking lot. A glorious combination of gravel and mud and sounds and lights and hustle and bustle unique to those July days when the Fair came to town. This was way before they started calling it an “Exhibition” and way back when they had things like grandstands and grandstand shows, and big tents on the midway that promised the bizarre, weird and wacky Wonders of the World. Oh, and also the Girly Shows. When you were a 10-or-12-year-old boy at the Fair with your buddies, back in those days before the invention of more than one or two TV channels and computers were still just a twinkle in Bill Gates’s eye, you did tend to linger longer in front of the mysteriously irresistible Wonders of the World tent and spend an awful lot of time surreptitiously serpentining deep in the crowd in front of the Girly Tent, trying not to be noticed by anybody you happened to know. Which, in those days, was everybody.

HAY’S DAZE

There were two reasons why a boy might spend a surprising amount of time casually strolling by and absently hanging around those particular venues at the busy Fair. One, you couldn’t get into either tent unless you were a certain age — that age being exactly one year older than you presently happened to be. This of course made the attraction even more, well, attractive. To the point of obsession. And B: once every half hour or so, the guy on the microphone on the small stage in front of the tent with the lurid paintings of what you might discover inside would come out and launch into a spiel a mile a minute. That guy could talk the hind leg off a donkey, as my Grandma used to say, but the thing is, he would also summon from inside the dark and dangerous bowels of the shadowy tent one or two of the living or long-dead mysteries that you would see when you ponied up your 50 cents — which was pretty pricey — to slip inside the tent to the forbidden world. At the faded yellow canvas marquee, the Bearded Lady might come out and parade around on the stage whilst the guy on the mic barked away about this “freak of nature” who looked suspiciously like a man with long hair and a beard and a dress. Or the barker might hold up a big glass jar with a grey lump of goo floating around in there. “Einstein’s brain!” he would proclaim to the assembled masses. “Come in and see! So close you can almost touch it — Einstein’s brain! A perfectly preserved wonder of the world! Come one, come all, to the inside and see the incredible, unbelievable, amazing Wonders of the Universe!” And on like that. Subtlety was nowhere to be found. Of course, the “perfectly preserved” brain of Einstein was either the random entrails of some unfortunate farm animal probably obtained illegally from some abattoir somewhere, or it was the brain of Harold Einstein — a used car salesman who died happily of old age 10 years before in some place like Indiana or Iowa. But that barker guy could practically coerce the more gullible legally eligible members of the audience into that tent. And you couldn’t help but notice

AT THE FADED YELLOW CANVAS MARQUEE THE BEARDED LADY MIGHT COME OUT AND PARADE AROUND ON THE STAGE WHILST THE GUY ON THE MIC BARKED AWAY ABOUT THIS ‘FREAK OF NATURE’ WHO LOOKED SUSPICIOUSLY LIKE A MAN WITH LONG HAIR, A BEARD AND A DRESS. that many of those who weren’t the required age got in without the slightest hesitation. The carny at the ticket booth at the entrance to the tent wasn’t all that picky if you had 50 cents in your hand. Except when it came to yours truly. I either looked too young or too desperate or my jug-handle ears were glowing too red, like they do when I get nervous. But whatever it was, the ticket carny wouldn’t even flinch. “Beat it, kid,” he’d grunt and then he’d take the money from Eugene Biffert behind me in the lineup — a kid who was one grade below me in school and at least one year younger. And it was even worse at the Girly Tent. This rather shoddy canvas pavilion was always on the north side of the grounds, in the corner by the big Ferris wheel and the Salt and Pepper Shaker. The barker there was even better than his World of Wonders counterpart, and the paintings on the tent even more lurid. I was never sure what exactly went on in there, and I still can’t figure out just how much “girly” an attraction could be at a family Fair, but you know how imagination works when you are a kid with an overactive imagination. And when a few very bored and surprisingly unattractive ladies would parade out on the stage in front of the tent for a brief glimpse from the gathering crowd, the barker would strongly suggest that these ladies would be encumbered by significantly less clothing once you were inside the tent. There was always a tantalizing theory among our group of rapscallion rabble-rousers that there was a place you could sneak in under the tent at the back or, at the very least, peek in through a hole in the canvas — but not even Eugene Biffert could ever confirm it. And maybe it’s just as well — some things are better left to the imagination. And besides, the Fair still has the Little Red Barn and thank goodness they still let me into that one.

After school, where are the jobs? While young Canadians are being urged to go out and get a post-secondary education, many of those who do are finding full-time employment much harder to get than in the past while pay levels, adjusted for inflation, are lower than they used to be. There’s something wrong here. The message has been that education is the key to a better future — and the data do show that young Canadians with a post-secondary education do better than young Canadians who don’t. But we have DAVID this paradox CRANE that we have the best-educated young Canadians ever yet pay levels and the school-to-work transition don’t reflect this. To be sure, young Canadians always have the toughest time when the economy goes into recession and climbs out through economic recovery. In Canada, domestic demand continues to be weak while federal fiscal strategy is contributing little to economic growth since the Harper government’s priority is to achieve a balanced budget by the next election. As the most recent Bank of Canada Business Outlook Surveys shows, while companies plan some modest new hiring over the next 12 months, because of weak demand, a number of firms “expect to make only minor changes to their workforces over the next 12 months.” There’s also a structural issue as technology and globalization change the nature of work and where it is located. As Michael Spence, a Nobel laureate in economics, has observed, “powerful technological and global market forces have reduced dramatically the number of routine professional and blue-collar jobs, shifted employment options for the middle-class toward the non-tradable side of the economy, and channelled growth in national income toward capital and high-end

INSIGHT

employment, with stagnating income elsewhere.” So what young Canadians face is both weak domestic demand and significant changes in industry structure and the nature of work. These need much greater attention. A study by Statistics Canada on changing labour market conditions for young Canadians — those 34 or younger — bears out the changing reality for them. For example, in 2012, 78.5 per cent of men aged 25 to 34 had a full-time job, compared to 87 per cent in 1981. And those who had full-time jobs saw median hourly wages decline four per cent between 1981 and 2012, despite the fact that they were much better educated than their counterparts in 1981 and productivity gains since 1981 should have delivered some benefit in higher incomes. Women aged 25 to 34, on the other hand, had better outcomes in 2012 than in 1981, with 61.7 per cent holding a full-time job, compared to just 47.7 per cent in 1981 and, adjusting for inflation, the median hourly wage for fulltime work rose 13 per cent. But today, young women, like young men, are finding it harder to get those important entry-level jobs that set career trajectories for future employment. Canadians younger than 25 who were not attending school full-time have had an even worse time. For men in this age group, only 57.1 per cent had full-time jobs in 2012, compared to 72.1 per cent in 1981, and their median hourly wage, after inflation, was 13 per lower in 2012 than in 1981. Women in this age group also saw their full-time employment rate fall from 57.8 per cent in 1981 to 46.1 per cent in 2012, while their inflation-adjusted pay level fell by eight per cent. Young Canadians were clearly better-off if they lived in the oil-producing provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Newfoundland, as they had a much better full-time employment rate than in other provinces and also enjoyed real gains in pay. A glimmer of positive news is that the big declines in real wages for young Canadians took place in the 1980s and 1990s while there were gains in the 2000s.

But in many instances today, entrylevel workers are being hired at lower pay than in the past, as more companies move to two-tier wage structures. Young Canadians are going to have to adjust to the changing work world and through their own resilience seek out different kinds of opportunities. But this would be easier if public policies were geared to helping them in the process. The best immediate solutions would

include greater efforts to boost domestic demand and better credit conditions for small and mid-size businesses. Young Canadians should not see their life chances diminished because of policy indifference and face lower future living standards than their parents.

always end the conversation by giving an encouraging remark like, “Keep on doing what you’re doing, it’s really worthwhile, and thanks for giving these people a voice.” Apparently people feel that through these articles, the street is given a voice. There are negative comments as well, but they are easily outweighed by the positive and I was given confirmation of that the other day. As with any vocation, we tend to get frustrated and/or down about what we are doing and so we question ourselves: “Is this all really worth it?” That’s how I was feeling last week, so whenever I feel like that, I read from the Good Book to get encouragement. So as I was reading, I came upon the following: “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy.”

Ever since I was 13-years-old, I wanted to do two things: work in a mission field and write. Being a Grade 10 dropout, and lazy to boot, I gave those dreams up at an early age. But now that I am of retirement age, I have been granted both in spite of me. I’m not in the jungles of Africa or Brazil; I’m in a soup kitchen in little old Red Deer working with and for a group of people I have grown to love and care for. I’m not a famous author with many books to my credit; I write short articles for a daily paper that puts up with me. So there is no greater encouragement on a cool blustery day than to walk into a coffee shop and be greeted and encouraged by many who we cross paths with. I’ve been in Red Deer since 1955, and I am proud to call Red Deer and its people home. Chris Salomons is kitchen co-ordinator for Potter’s Hands ministry in Red Deer.

Woman accused of beating child in court in shackles A mother of two children accused of beating her newborn daughter in 2009 has been returned to custody after failing to show up for her trial in June. Shannon Deschamps, 36, was arrested on Nov. 29, 2009, by Red Deer City RCMP called to investigate reports of an injured baby at the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre. Represented by Red Deer lawyer Patty MacNaughton, Deschamps pleaded not guilty to a charge of aggravated assault and asked to be tried by judge alone in Red Deer Court of Queen’s Bench. A trial was set before Justice Monica Bast during the week of June 10, but collapsed when the accused woman, who lives in Hobbema, did not show up. Deschamps was arrested in Edmonton earlier this week and brought into court on Friday, wearing shackles on her legs. Advised that her lawyer had withdrawn from her case, she asked for an immediate bail hearing in hope that she could be released from custody. However, she accepted the advice of Justice Craig Jones and duty counsel Mark Gottlieb, who said her chances for a successful hearing would be better if she had a lawyer’s help.

Wiping tears from her eyes, Deschamps agreed to adjourn the bail hearing until next week. She is scheduled to return on Thursday.

Alleged carjacker chooses trial by judge A man arrested last winter in connection with a knifepoint carjacking in Red Deer will remain in jail for at least eight more months while awaiting court proceedings. Duane Karl Luz, 43, was arrested on Jan. 17 by police called to shoplifting complaints at a food store in the Anders subdivision. Police allege that the suspect forced a woman and her child from their vehicle and then drove away. He was arrested at the north side of the city by police who allege that the vehicle he was driving collided with two police cars. Represented by Hobbema-based lawyer Denise Lightning, Luz asked on Friday to be tried by judge alone in Red Deer Court of Queen’s Bench, with a preliminary hearing beforehand. Preliminary hearings may be requested to test the strength of the Crown’s case against an accused person. Luz was previously denied bail and will therefore remain in custody pending the outcome of his hearing, set for May 14-15, 2014.

Woman found alive in Yukon 50 years after husband accused of her murder SURREY, B.C. — A woman who disappeared from Surrey, B.C., more that 50 years ago has been found, but the fairy tale family reunion may never happen. RCMP recently featured Lucy Johnson in their historic missing-persons file and Johnson’s daughter used that information to advertise the disappearance where her mother once lived in Yukon. RCMP spokesman Curtis Harling says the woman then received a call from what turned out to be her sister, saying she’d seen her mom’s picture in the paper. Johnson, who’s now 77, disappeared in 1961 but her husband Marvin Johnson didn’t report her missing until 1965, which raised the suspicions of police to the point where they dug up the family’s property in search of a body. Marvin died in the late 1990s, but Harling says the man’s family is pleased that any suspicions of murder have been cleared against him. Harling says the sisters didn’t know each other existed and are pleased to have found one another, but the mother has a lot of questions to answer and the reconciliation may take some time.

Lac-Megantic death toll reaches 47 LAC-MEGANTIC, Que. — Authorities have established a number of people they believe have been killed in the Lac-Megantic train disaster. They place the number at 47. The estimate has fluctuated since the July 6 crash, when authorities weren’t clear on how many of the people declared missing might actually have been away on vacation. Police say they didn’t recover any more bodies in their search today. They said that leaves the death toll at 42 bodies recovered, and five other people missing and presumed dead. They base their new estimate on information drawn from different sources. The estimate of total deaths, being cited in recent days, had been 50. The Transportation Safety Board is calling for two immediate changes in rail policy following the catastrophe.

BRAZIL

‘MANY PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED IN LEARNING ABOUT WHERE FOOD COMES FROM AND FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE, THE FARM TOURS WOULD INTEREST ANYONE . . . BUT IT WAS GOOD TO SEE THE TOURIST SITES, TOO. I HAD ALWAYS DREAMED OF SEEING THE AMAZON, THE BRAZILIAN RAINFOREST, AND THE IGUASSU FALLS. THIS WAS A TRIP OF A LIFETIME.’

Agriculture in the Amazon

IGUASSU FALLS Iguassu Falls are on the Iguazu River on the border of the Brazilian state of Paraná and the Argentinian province of Misiones. The falls divide the river into the upper and lower Iguazu. Below its confluence with the San Antonio River, the Iguazu River forms the boundary between Argentina and Brazil.

BY DEBBIE OLSEN SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE There is a place in Brazil where the Rio Negro River and the Amazon meet and flow side by side for nearly 40 km without mixing — a phenomenon created by differences in temperature, speed and water density between the two rivers. As Alvin Goetz of Rimbey watched, the captain of the small boat he was travelling in lined the vessel up precisely at the meeting point of the two rivers. Out one side of the boat was the almost black-looking water that is characteristic of the Rio Negro and on the other side was the sandy-coloured water of the Amazon. This is a place the Rimbey farmer had long dreamed of seeing and just one of many highlights of a recent agricultural tour of Brazil. Agricultural tours that combine sightseeing with visits to farms and agricultural operations have become increasingly popular with rural and urban travellers and Brazil is a key destination for such tours. Brazil is one of the world’s most important agricultural producers. It also is home to world-class tourist sites such as Iguassu Falls, Itaipu Dam, and the Amazon River, making it a popular destination. The tour began with a boat expedition along the Amazon River, which is the world’s second longest river and the largest in the world when measured by total water flow.

ITAIPU DAM Photos by ALVIN GOETZ/Freelance

The Itaipu Dam is the largest operating hydroelectric facility in terms of annual energy generation in the world. It is a bi-national undertaking run by Brazil and Paraguay at the Paraná River on the border area between the two countries.

STORY FROM PAGE B1

BRAZIL: Very large agricultural operations The group also had the opportunity to tour Manaus, the capital of the state of Amazonas, and see its famous opera house. “Manaus is an amazing city to tour,” said Goetz. “It was carved right out of the jungle and it has the most incredible opera house. The last thing you expect to find in the middle of the Amazon rainforest is an opera house and this one is built to a very high standard. It is really something to see. We didn’t get to go inside the building, but ironically there was a two-hour special on television about Brazil that showed the interior of the opera house shortly after I returned from my trip.” The trip also included several farm tours in different parts of Brazil. The first farm tour took the group to a banana plantation that was owned by the president of the local co-op who showed them his crop of approximately 7,000 banana trees. “I hadn’t never seen a banana plantation before and I couldn’t believe how big the trees were,” said Goetz. “The leaves on the banana trees were huge. I paced one out and it was 10 feet long.” The group also visited farms that grow soybeans, corn, cotton and sugar cane. Goetz found it fascinating to learn how agricultural producers in Brazil are able to seed one field and harvest another at the same time and to see the sheer size of the farms. “We heard a lot about how the farms are incorporating natural methods of weed and pest control,” Goetz said. “There is also a move away from large corporate farming operations. I was pleased to learn that the government has instituted new regulations to limit the size of agricultural operations and

help protect the environment. “Despite this, most of the agricultural operations we visited were very large. One farm had just brought in 100 brand new combines.” As a lifelong cattle rancher, Goetz was particularly interested in learning about the beef industry in Brazil. “Brazil is the world’s largest beef exporter with the world’s largest commercial cattle herd, and it was interesting to learn a little about their production methods,” Goetz said. “We visited a cattle handling facility that was one of the best I have ever seen.” When they weren’t touring agricultural sites, they visited tourist sites. Visiting Iguassu Falls was an absolute highlight of the trip. Iguassu Falls are one of the great natural wonders of the world. It is on the UNESCO World Heritage List and Goetz had long dreamed of seeing them. “The river near Iguassu Falls forms the natural border between Brazil and Argentina and the falls themselves are incredible to see,” he said. “We travelled by zodiac to the base of the falls. It was incredible to be so close to the roaring water. There is a stunning natural park area that surrounds the falls and you can walk on footbridges to the base of many of the smaller falls. There are hundreds of smaller falls as well as the larger falls at the site.” Also impressive was the Itaipu Binacional Dam, which was voted one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World by the American Society of Civil Engineers. The monumental structure produces 25 per cent of Brazil’s electricity and 78 per cent of Paraguay’s. “The dam was the largest hydroelectric power plant in the world until China’s Three Gorges Dam was completed,” explained Goetz. “The dam itself is an engineering marvel and amazing to see. It’s a rare thing for two governments to co-operate on such a massive project and you can understand why both Brazil and Paraguay are so proud of the accomplishment.” Goetz was very pleased with the tour and would highly recommend it to other travellers — even those who are not agricultural producers. “Many people are interested in learning about where food comes from

and from that perspective the farm tours would interest anyone,” he said. “But it was good to see the tourist sites too. I had always dreamed of seeing the Amazon, the Brazilian rainforest, and the Iguassu Falls. This was a trip of a lifetime.”

Saskatchewan: worth going home for? BY CAROL PATTERSON SPECIAL

found myself wondering why it had taken so long!

TO THE ADVOCATE

If you go:

Novelist Thomas Wolfe claimed, “You can’t go home again.” But was he right? I grew up in Saskatchewan and moved to Alberta to find work. So many others have done the same thing that Calgary was called “Saskatchewan’s biggest city” by author Harry Hiller. Saskatchewan was not my preferred tourism destination as a teen, but after living away for three decades, I wanted to see if I could go home again as a tourist and enjoy it. I headed for northern Saskatchewan, remembering my earliest camping trips to Prince Albert National Park. Tents then were canvas, air mattresses seldom held air through the night, and mosquitoes competed with bears for status as most-feared creature in the park. This time I opted for comfort, staying in a rental RV at Emma Lake National Park, close enough to visit Prince Albert National Park but centrally-located to other boreal forest attractions. When I arrived at my campsite with the trailer set up, wood stacked by the fire pit and a tablecloth on the picnic table, I felt like a glamper (glamorous camper). The potted flowers beside the door brought opulence my childhood visits to the area never had! Within minutes of arriving in Saskatchewan’s north, I remembered what was missing from my life — bone-deep quiet. The stillness was total and the view fulfilled the boast on provincial licence plates of ‘Land of Living Skies.’ And there was mystery after the sun went down. A fellow camper had a shoe stolen from outside his trailer while he slept, sparking rumours that a Shoesquatch was behind the unexplained disappearance! Not worried which animals had a shoe fetish, I started my day visiting Alaskan huskies at Sundogs Sled Excursions. Rain prevented me from mushing with a wheeled cart, but attending ‘puppy camp’ to learn about sled dogs netted me a graduation card, a used dogsled bootie and husky-hair-covered jeans. Sometimes northern joy comes in unusual forms! Meals have improved since my childhood visits to Prince Albert National Park. At the Hawood Inn’s Mackenzie restaurant, the chef’s board showcased meats from across the province. The mother-daughter team of Connie Freedy and Heidi O’Brodovich run the Yellow Fender Bistro in nearby Christopher Lake. They returned home after years in France to offer tasty meals and Europeanstyle breads, unexpected in this village of 215. Last on my to-do list was an interpretive boat tour of the Hanging Heart Lakes. The McLachlan family has run tourism businesses in Prince Albert National Park since travel for the middle class started. “Initially our business was to cut chunks of ice from the lake in spring to save for tourist iceboxes,” says Morris McLachlan of Waskesiu Marina Adventure Centre. The introduction of electricity killed that business, but the McLachlans reinvented their company and now offer boat rentals and sightseeing tours. As Morris sums up, “There is nowhere I would rather be than Prince Alberta National Park in summer.” I had to agree as I discovered, yes, you can go home again. In fact, I

Top ranked Adamson coming on strong BY ADVOCATE STAFF

DEREK JETER

JETER TO 15DAY DL BOSTON — New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter went back on the disabled list Friday, knocking him out of the three-game series against the rival Boston Red Sox — and beyond. The Yankees placed their captain on the 15-day DL with a strained right quadriceps that he injured in his first game back last week after being out all season with a broken left ankle. Jeter rejected the possibility that he returned too soon from the injury he sustained in last year’s playoffs. “I don’t think that’s the case,” he told reporters at Fenway Park before the series opener on Friday. “I was ready to come back; I came back; I was running fine. This happened, but this happens to guys who go through full spring trainings and play a lot of games.” The Yankees had waited to make a decision, using the four days of the All-Star break for the shortstop to receive treatment. Jeter said he had hoped to play against the Red Sox, but he hadn’t tested his leg in anything close to a game environment. “Right now, it’s fine. But I haven’t run,” he said. “I’m pretty sure they’ll make me run before they have me play.”

Lee Adamson came into the 2013 edition of the Red Deer Motors North American pony chuckwagon championships at the Westerner Days as the No. 1 ranked driver on the tour. He had a bit of bad luck during the first two days of the five-day event, but Friday showed why he’s on top, finishing with a running time of one minute 16.65 seconds, on the A-1 Rentals wagon of Camrose, the best time on the day. Still his first two days has him sitting in 12th position overall with a clocking of 3:57.81, well behind Keith Wood of Saddle Lake and the Uncle Ben’s RV rig. Wood, who has consistently needed to charge from behind down the stretch, finished second to Adamson in the 14th heat with a time of 1:16.88, which left him with the overall time of 3:51.80. He has two days remaining in an effort to win his record-setting eighth championship. Keith’s son, Curtis, continues to have the best barrel turns in the championship, and he used that to his advantage to record a time of 1:17.22 on the C4Ever Consulting sponsored outfit of Red Deer, and slipped into second place overall at 3:53.43. Curtis Hogg and the Kellough Enterprises wagon of Red Deer sits in third place overall at 3:53.55, following a time of 1:17.45. Rene Salmond, who calls Houston, Tex., home, and defending champion Gary Thiel occupy fourth and fifth place. Salmond drove his Paradise RV wagon from Red Deer County to a time of 1:18.08 and has a

Toronto Argonauts’ Spencer Watt (89) goes up for the Ricky Ray (15) pass against Brandon Stewart (8) and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers during the first half of their CFL game at Investors Group Field in Winnipeg Friday.

Argonauts 35 Bombers 19 WINNIPEG — It was a win that could prove as dominant as it was costly for the Toronto Argonauts. Argos quarterback Ricky Ray was nearly perfect in a 35-19 win over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Friday. Ray, who missed only one of his 20 pass attempts all night as he threw for 286 yards, left mid-way through the third quarter after being tackled. The extent of his injury isn’t known. Toronto also lost key receiver Chad Kackert, who suffered a possible knee injury in the fourth quarter. “We’re hopeful Ricky’s (injury) is not as serious,” said coach Scott Milanovich. “Chad’s never gone through any kind of knee injury so he’s not sure how it feels.” Winnipeg quarterback Buck Pierce and defensive back Johnny Sears were also injured. Coach Tim Burke said Pierce suffered an abdominal injury that happened in the first half. “He was able to keep playing and at half time we looked at him and thought he would be able to continue to play in the second half,” said Burke. “When he got out there and started warming up he decided he wouldn’t be able to go.” With Sears, who was playing in his first game since being injured late last season, it’s his foot. Both Burke and Milanovich said an interception Pierce threw in the first half was a turning point in the game. It led to Toronto’s first touchdown. But they also said Ray’s perfor-

mance was huge. “He was unbelievable and he’s played that way all year,” said Milanovich. The Argos (2-2) jumped into a 21-6 lead by halftime on touchdowns by Chad Owens, Spencer Watt and Zach Collaros. Ray added one of his own in the second half. Noel Prefontaine had two field goals and a point on one he missed. As predicted, Pierce was more mobile. But his offence wasn’t a lot more effective than it has been so far this season. Winnipeg’s only points came on three field goals and a safety, until Chad Simpson carried the ball over for a touchdown with less than a minute left and the Bombers (1-3) picked up a two-point convert as well. Pierce completed 10-of-14 attempts for 139 yards before backup Justin Goltz took over in the second half when Pierce couldn’t continue. The win broke the 1-2 logjam that saw all four teams in the East tied after three games. Owens said the whole team is worried when players like Ray and Kackert go down. “Those are leaders on the team, those are important pieces to the team,” he said. “As hard as it is it’s part of the game and it sucks but we’ve just got to stick together and like I said, pray that it’s not too serious.” Winnipeg’s defence, which has been something Burke could rely on so far this season, was largely ineffectual against Ray’s passing prowess.

NHL players to go to Sochi for Winter Olympics DEAL REACHED BRINGS NHLERS TO FIFTH OLYMPICS BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Sidney Crosby waited along with everyone else for an agreement to send NHL players to the 2014 Winter Olympics. It had been almost three years and five months since he scored the gold-medal-winning goal for Canada in Vancouver. When a deal was finally reached Friday between the league, NHL Players’ Association, International Ice Hockey Federation and International Olympic Committee, Crosby and the rest of hockey could begin to make plans for what’s next. “I think like everyone thought (that) it was just kind of a matter of time, working out logistics,” the Pittsburgh Penguins’ captain said. “With it being a little further in Russia I’m sure there was a little bit more work to do. I’m glad that we’re going and obviously excited to kind of start the process.” Sochi, Russia will be the fifth Olympics with NHL participation, which began in Nagano, Japan, in 1998. Canada won gold at the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver, when Crosby scored to beat the United States in overtime.

“It’s gone by really fast,” Crosby said on a conference call with reporters. “Obviously with injuries and stuff like that, it wasn’t like there was three full hockey seasons to kind of look back on. It’s definitely gone by quick, but it’s exciting.” Overall it’s been an up-and-down experience for Canada at the Olympics. Canada finished seventh in Turn in 2006, won gold in Salt Lake City in 2002 and finished fourth in Nagano in 1998. Canada will be in Group B along with Austria, Finland and Norway. Group A is made up of the United States, Russia, Slovakia and Slovenia, while Group C is made up of the Czech Republic, Sweden, Switzerland and Latvia. Canada opens the Olympic tournament Feb. 13 against Norway. Naturally, the expectation for Canada is the same as it was in 2010. “Just being Canadian you realize pretty quickly that people come together that time of year, especially, and when it’s hockey even more so,” Crosby said. “I think that you want to go there and find a way to win gold.” Preparations for Sochi were ongoing well before it was official that NHL players could represent their countries in the

Games. “(General manager) Steve Yzerman and the management group have been evaluating players all year,” Hockey Canada president and CEO Bob Nicholson said in a phone interview. “We’re in good shape. We’re right on schedule for our planning purposes.” Nicholson said he expects an announcement of the coaching staff in the coming days. It will reportedly include head coach Mike Babcock and assistants Claude Julien, Ken Hitchcock and Lindy Ruff. Canada’s Olympic orientation camp could begin Aug. 25 in Calgary, though it’s not certain whether players will be able to skate. Individual federations must insure NHL contracts for camps, and USA Hockey will not have an on-ice component to its camp in Arlington, Va. “Insurance is a big issue,” Nicholson said. “We got some quotes yesterday that it would be over a million dollars to skate. So if it’s that type of dollars, it’d be very difficult for us to do that. But we’re just starting to look into that now with the agreement being done.”

Woods one stroke back after two days at Muirfield BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS GULLANE — Miguel Angel Jimenez looked like the only guy who was having fun. On a punishing day at Muirfield — the course with a reputation as the fairest links of them all — leave it to a 49-year-old Spaniard who enjoys the simple pleasures in life to make such a demanding test at the British Open seem like just another round of golf. There was calamity all around him Friday. Zach Johnson lost the lead with a three-putt from 10 feet. Brandt Snedeker, regarded as one of the best putters in golf, took four putts from 15 feet. Tiger Woods played well enough to be only one shot behind and rarely smiled. Jimenez, with his frizzy red hair bunched into a ponytail, made his way around Muirfield with only two bogeys for an even-par 71 that gave him a oneshot lead over Woods, Lee Westwood, Henrik Stenson and Dustin Johnson going into the weekend. What’s a 49-year-old doing with the 36-hole lead at the British Open? “Why? I have not the right to do it? Only the young people can do it?” Jimenez said. “Why? I’m fine. We keep playing golf and still get myself on the golf course, and that’s the secret. Enjoy yourself what you do in life. That’s what I’m doing.” For so many others, it was tough to enjoy anything about a course that brought the easterly wind for the first time all week, and greens that hit warp speed even after tournament officials hand-watered the putting surfaces overnight. Woods went 12 holes without a birdie, saving his round with a collection of tough pars, and he finished with a 6-iron from 212 yards to 15 feet for a birdie and a 71. Westwood matched the best round of the day with a 68, while Stenson had a 70. Both of them had a double bogey on their cards. Dustin Johnson got himself into such a predicament on the 15th that his only option from a bunker was to aim sideways into the rough. He shot 72. “Every hole is playing hard,” Johnson said. “You don’t get any breaks. You’ve really got to grind it out. It’s tough off the tee. It’s tough on your approach shot and it’s tough putting.” Phil Mickelson was in range of the lead until a four-putt on the 16th hole, his second double bogey of the day. That was one hole after Mickelson made a par putt that would have gone 15 feet by if he had missed. Zach Johnson couldn’t think of too many poor shots he hit in the blazing sunshine, except maybe for a pitching wedge he punched from 158 yards that bounded over the back of the 15th green. He chipped to 10 feet and took

Tiger Woods of the United States plays a shot off the 14th tee during the second round of the British Open Golf Championship at Muirfield, Scotland, Friday. three putts from there for a double bogey, and he dropped one more shot on the final hole for a 75. “I enjoy difficult tests,” said Johnson, who won the 2007 Masters in the toughest conditions at Augusta in more than 50 years. “I think everyone does. ’Fun’ ... you’ve got to use that term loosely. What’s fun about it is that we don’t see this but once a year.” The reference was to links golf, though such brown, brittle conditions have not been seen at the Open since Hoylake in 2006, and the greens there weren’t nearly that quick. Mickelson said the Muirfield greens in these conditions were faster than Augusta. Jimenez, who was at 3-under 139, has his own definition. “The fun does not mean you have the biggest smile and start laughing all day,” he said. “Fun is when you enjoy what you’re doing. I play golf and I enjoy it. And it’s fun to me, no? Sometimes you can see me serious because of a situation, but having fun doesn’t mean that you are falling on the ground and start laughing.”

What about leading the British Open, with a chance at 49 to be the oldest major champion in golf history? “Then you put the smile on the face,” he said. If he cared to look behind him, Jimenez might have reason to be concerned. The biggest name was Woods, already a four-time winner this year who has been steering his way around Muirfield with mainly irons that go forever on the rock-hard fairways. More ominous is that he is making so many important putts, even if they are for par. “There will be no surprise to me if he’s picking up the claret jug on Sunday night,” said Graeme McDowell, who played with Woods and was seven shots behind. “But I’m not writing off the rest of the field. There’s quality players here in this field, and I’m certainly not writing myself off. But if he continues to play the way he’s playing, he’s going to be tough to beat.” Westwood surged to the top of the

leaderboard with a 31 on the front nine and one more birdie at the 12th, but he dropped three shots on the last six holes. Even so, he gave himself another chance to capture his first major in what already is banner sporting year for England. The last Englishman to win the British Open was Nick Faldo in 1992 at Muirfield. “Why not enjoy it out there?” Westwood said. “It’s tough for everybody. So smile your way through.” Angel Cabrera, among six players who had a share of the lead at one point Friday, dropped five shots over the last three holes for a 72. Even so, he was only two shots behind at 1-under 141 along with Zach Johnson, Martin Laird (71) and Rafael Cabrera-Bello (74). Graham DeLaet of Weyburn, Sask., made the cut with a much improved round of 1-over 72 Friday. The native of Weyburn, Sask., playing in his first major was at 6 over through two rounds. Only nine players remained under par on a course that is playing to an average of just under 75.

university and a lot of kids who have played in Red Deer with the midget program,” he said. “It’s good to have another local team and they had good fan support.” Jaret Chatwood had a pair of hits and drove in two runs for the Riggers while Kevin Curran lined a three-run double. Bailey had two hits, including a double, and Matt Fay had a triple and scored twice. Shayne Court walked three times. Corbin Shields, who played midget in Red Deer, and Kyle Burkett had two hits each for the Merchants.

said he would allow Ovechkin to go with or without the league’s blessing. That is no longer an issue the league or players’ association needs to worry about. “The players are very pleased that an agreement has been reached that will allow the world’s best hockey players to compete at the Winter Games in February,” NHLPA executive director Don Fehr said in a statement. “Having the opportunity to wear their nation’s sweater in Sochi is something the players look forward to.” This won’t be Crosby’s first time representing Canada, but that doesn’t make it any less special for the native of Cole Harbour, N.S. “I think anybody who gets a chance to do that, there’s a lot of pride that comes with that,” he said. “Being Canadian and playing hockey, that’s a dream come true, so I think that’s a big part of it.” Crosby has never been to Russia

and is looking forward to taking part in another chapter of the decades-old rivalry. “Obviously everybody knows the history with Canada/Russia, ’72 and ’87 and the list goes on and on,” he said. “I think that right there, having the opportunity to play hockey in Russia is pretty special.”

“You’ve got to give credit to Toronto’s offence,” he said. “Ricky Ray’s a great quarterback.

Scott Milanovich and (defensive co-ordinator) Marcus Brady are really good football coaches.” But he also said the Bomber defence made mistakes. “We didn’t get a very good pass rush. It started in the middle of the defensive line,” he said. “We didn’t get any pressure on Ricky Ray, which allowed him to pick us apart.” Cornerback Jovon Johnson said the players have to take responsibility for not playing as they should and they plan on facing it head on. “We’re going to come in on day one and meet as a team without the coaches and we’re going to go from there,” he said. “Different situations call for different things and guys want to get some things off their chest.”

The agreement being done meant the NHL could release its 2013-14 schedule after a substantial delay. The Olympic break will take place from Feb. 9-26, while the tournament in Sochi is set for Feb. 12-23. IIHF president Rene Fasel said there was “never any doubt” in his mind that NHL players would go to Sochi. NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly said on Sirius XM NHL Network Radio that the original goal was to have a deal done by March, a target that was missed by four months. “The decision to participate in the XXII Olympic Winter Games in Sochi was in many ways a difficult one, but one that we know will be well received by our players and, most importantly, by the vast majority of our fans and sports fans everywhere,” commissioner Gary Bettman said in a statement.

Riggers 8 Merchants 3 It was a game the Red Deer Riggers were expected to win, but also one they weren’t about to take lightly. “Whenever you take someone for granted it jumps up and bites you in the butt,” said Riggers manager Curtis Bailey following an 8-2 win over the Innisfail Junior Merchants in the opening game of the annual Riggers baseball tournament at Great Chief Park Friday. Davin Gulbransen went the distance for the Riggers, allowing three runs — two earned — on seven hits. In fact the Merchants led 1-0 after the top of the first inning, but the Riggers scored twice in the bottom of

the frame. After the Merchants made it 2-2 in the top of the third, the Riggers scored twice in the bottom of the inning and added three runs in the fourth and one in the fifth. Blair Mulder started on the mound for the Merchants and worked into the fourth inning, giving way to Branden Majeski, who was replaced by Jamie Whitehead in the sixth. “They were a good team to play,” said Bailey. “They swung the bats well and executed real well. Their pitching struggled a bit, but then they don’t get a chance to see top teams all the time. But overall it was good for them as they prepare for the Western Canadian juniors.” Bailey liked what he saw from an athletic side of things with the Merchants. “They have guys who have played in

Rays use long ball to beat Jays BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Rays 8 Jays 5 TORONTO — John Gibbons liked the Blue Jays’ chances after they belted three home runs and built a 4-1 lead in the early going against the reigning American League Cy Young Award winner. Unfortunately for the Toronto manager, the Tampa Bay Rays were also zoned in at Rogers Centre. Ben Zobrist, Wil Myers, Evan Longoria and Kelly Johnson each hit solo homers off Blue Jays starter Esmil Rogers to help David Price pick up his fourth win of the season Friday as Tampa Bay defeated Toronto 8-5 in a game that looked a lot like this week’s home run derby. “In this ballpark the ball flies. Once it’s elevated it goes a long way,” said Gibbons, whose team got solo home runs from Edwin Encarnacion, J.P. Arencibia and Brett Lawrie, to go along with a two-run shot from Jose Bautista. “We do the same thing on offence on our side.” Price (4-5), who is now 7-0 in eight career starts in Toronto, gave up four runs on seven hits over seven innings. The 2012 AL Cy Young Award winner also struck out five and gave up one walk after surviving a rocky start. “We score four off Price — you feel pretty good about it when you do that,” Gibbons said. “He hangs around. He goes deep in the game every night but you feel pretty good if you can get four off him.” Ryan Roberts had the go-ahead RBI in the eighth inning and scored an insurance run for red-hot Tampa Bay (5641), which sits second in the AL East coming out of the all-star break. “We were playing the best ball we had up to this point of the year leading up to the all-star break,” Price said. “To have that four-day break, you don’t want it to mess up the momentum that the team has and just the winning feeling we have in the clubhouse and in the dugout. That was a big win for us tonight, we hit on all cylinders.” Brett Cecil (3-1) suffered his first loss of 2013 for the Blue Jays (45-50), who remain cemented in the AL East base-

Tampa Bay Rays Will Myers eludes the tag of Toronto Blue Jays catcher J.P. Arencibia to score during ninth inning AL action Toronto on Friday. ment and started the unofficial second half of the season with a thud. Adding to Toronto’s misery was the fact that the Rays scored four runs off a Toronto bullpen that has been one of the club’s lone bright sports. All-stars Cecil and Steve Delabar couldn’t keep the score tied 4-4 in the eighth as Roberts singled home Johnson before coming around on Desmond Jennings double to give the Rays a two-run lead. “They’ve been so good,” Gibbons said of his relievers. “They can’t be perfect all year long.” Toronto put two runners on in the eighth, but Colby Rasmus hit a lazy flyball to left to end the threat. The Rays then scored two more in the ninth before Lawrie added the game’s eighth home run, his sixth of the campaign, as a consolation.

Rogers gave up the four solo homers on seven hits to go along with four strikeouts over 5 2-3 innings. In two starts against Tampa Bay this season, the right-hander has allowed seven solo homers. Despite the trouble with the long ball, Gibbons said his starter pitched well. “That was kind of a funny game for him. When he was on, he was dominating, and then of course the four solo home runs,” said Gibbons, who didn’t think Rogers was tipping his pitches to Rays. “He never really got into trouble, it was just the solo home runs.” With thunderstorm and tornado warnings issued across Southern Ontario, the crowd of 33,266 inside the sealed-shut and steamy Rogers Centre saw a home run bonanza early on.

MAR DEL PLATA, Argentina — Canada’s men’s volleyball team were eliminated from contention at the FIVB World League Final tournament Friday after a three-set sweep against world number-one Brazil. Fred Winters of Victoria led the Canadian attack with 12 points while Gavin Schmitt of Saskatoon and Gord Perrin of Creston, B.C., added 10 apiece in the 25-18, 30-28, 25-20 loss. The match completed Canada’s first appearance in the 24-year history of the World League Final, and came one day after Canada stunned Olympic champion Russia. “We showed we can play on the big stage in the world and have the ability to beat great teams in the future,” said Schmitt. Brazil (1-1) placed first in Group D with four points, Russia (1-1) was second with three and Canada (1-1) followed at two. The top-two in each of the two groups advanced to the semis. “We overcame a lot of pressure to win our group and make it to the final,” said Schmitt. “We won seven games in a row and the last one against Russia, which is great, really big for us.” Attacker Justin Duff of Winnipeg said Canada needs to be nearly flawless to beat a powerhouse like Brazil. “We made a lot of mistakes and if you’re going to give Brazil a few points, they’re going to take it,” said Duff. “It’s disappointing because I don’t think we played as well as we could today. We want to continue our progress and not be seen as the Cinderella Story, but as one of the good teams in the world.”

Puck to drop on 2013-14 NHL regular season on Oct. 1 WITH OLYMPIC AGREEMENT REACHED LEAGUE RELEASES SCHEDULE think,” Crosby said. “I like the Atlantic, I’m from Atlantic Canada. It kind of had a good feel to it, but I can deal with Metropolitan Division. It’s going to take some time to get used to, but I can live with that.” Players will also have to live with some more back-to-back games because the Olympic break compacts the schedule. “You find out pretty quickly that an Olympic-year schedule is a little more condensed and a little more intense than a typical year,” Crosby said. “You have to take advantage of your days off because it is condensed.” Daly called it a “fairly normal schedule with fairly normal density.” But another challenge exists for those going to Sochi, where Crosby said “every game is like a Game 7.” “Then obviously coming back from that, too, you basically go from being at that level of intensity to regularseason games,” he said. “Regular-season games are always easy to get up for, but there’s definitely a period of time where you come back and you’ve played those intense games, you’ve got to find a way to keep going and maintain that same level through the rest of the season and hopefully the playoffs.” Former Senators captain Daniel Al-

Realignment and the Olympic break made for some challenges with the 2013-14 NHL schedule that was released Friday. There are four divisions instead of six, complete with new names and a different balance of games, and time off from Feb. 9-26 to let players go to Sochi, Russia, for the 2014 Winter Olympics. “We wanted to make the schedule as normal as it could be,” deputy commissioner Bill Daly said on Sirius XM NHL Network Radio. “With 17 days in the middle ... that’s sometimes tough to do.” The season begins with the Montreal Canadiens hosting the Toronto Maple Leafs Oct. 1. Later that night the Chicago Blackhawks raise their Stanley Cup champions banner against the Washington Capitals, and the Winnipeg Jets visit the Edmonton Oilers. It marks the first time since 2008 that the defending champion will open the regular season against a team out of its conference. The Detroit Red Wings raised their banner that year against the Maple Leafs. The Calgary Flames open Oct. 3 at the Capitals, the Vancouver Canucks Oct. 3 at the San Jose Sharks and the Ottawa Senators Oct. 4 at the Buffalo Sabres.

Stampeders worry Alouettes could break out of slump BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

Photo by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Christopher Froome of Britain, right with yellow helmet, rides down Glandon pass during the nineteenth stage of the Tour de France cycling race over 204.5 kilometers (127.8 miles) with start in in Bourg-d’Oisans and finish in Le Grand-Bornand, France, Friday.

Victory in site for Froome after tough Stage 19 climb LE GRAND-BORNAND, France — Half the height of Mount Everest, climbed on a bike, in a single day. Even by Tour de France standards, Stage 19 was hard. “At times, you just feel like you’re being tortured,” was how American rider Andrew Talansky described Friday’s ordeal, arguably the toughest stage of this 100th Tour, which started with two monster climbs as riders were still digesting breakfast. “You’re just like, ’What is this?’ But you dig in and keep going.” The GPS mini-computer the Garmin rider carries on his bike did the sums: 4,419 metres ridden uphill — close to the height of Western Europe’s loftiest peak, Mont Blanc, and half of Everest, the roof of the world at 8,850 metres. The riders also zoomed 4,239 metres downhill. Talansky’s gizmo showed he burned 5,670 calories during the six-hour suffer-fest. And they call this “sport.” The difficulty of Stage 19 made Chris Froome “quite nervous.” Once he got through it with his big race lead intact, the British rider finally started to allow his mind to fast-forward to the finish on Sunday. Victory is so close he can almost taste it.

The last Alpine stage on Saturday — 125 kilometres in the mountains towering above the limpid waters of Lake Annecy — won’t be enough for second-place Alberto Contador to puncture Froome’s cushion of more than five minutes. In all but name, the 28-year-old is champion of the 100th Tour and knows it. “One more day to really stay concentrated and to stay up front and look after the yellow jersey and then looking forward to taking it to Paris,” Froome said. “It’s going to be very hard for someone to take more than five minutes in 125 kilometres. But having said that, I don’t want to be complacent.” No, that can wait until Sunday evening — when Froome and the other survivors of this three-week, 3,404-kilometre clockwise trek around Western Europe’s largest country will clip their feet into the pedals for the final 133 kilometres to Paris. Traditionally, that last stage is a relaxed lap of honour, at least until the pack hits the cobbles of the Champs-Elysees. There, Mark Cavendish and other sprint-finish specialists will battle for the bragging rights of the stage win on that leafy boulevard the French modestly call the most beautiful avenue in the world. The unique dusk finish for this 100th Tour, just as the sun sets behind the Arc de Triomphe, should be extra spe-

Fleming wins second consecutive Sun Life Financial Men’s Amateur Golf Championship SUNDRE — Riley Fleming saved his best for last and it proved good enough to win his second straight Sun Life Financial Men’s Amateur Golf Championship Friday. Fleming, a 19-year--old from Collicutt Siding in Crossfield, shot a final round five-under par 67 and that coupled with Evan Holmes’ final round of five over 77 gave Fleming a one-stroke victory at the Sundre Golf Club. Ron Harder of Innisfail had a final round 76 and led the Central Albertans with a 298 total, which left him in a tie for 18th. Tom Skinner of the Red Deer Golf and Country Club also shot a 76 and tied for 22nd at 300 while Matt Codd of the RDGCC finished 27th at 302 after a final round 80. Jason Thiels of Olds shot a 76 and tied for 28th at 303 while Brett Pasula of the RDGCC shot a 76 and tied for 30th at 304 and Dane Thorogood of Sundre had an 81 and tied for 52nd at 315.

with Shaye Leidenius fifth at 91 and Daria Leidenius sixth with a 92. All four Central Alberta girls have qualified for the tour final, Aug. 26, at Wolf Creek Golf Resort. Kolby Vold of Ponoka and Wolf Creek led the Central Alberta boys in Wetaskiwin, shooting a 75, which left him in a tie for third overall and tied for second in the born in 1994-96 division. Noah Lubberding of Edmonton’s Royal Mayfair Club had the low round of 68, which also led the born in 199798 division. Brody Holsworth of Innisfail came in with an 83, which tied him for ninth overall and placed him fifth in the older division. Chase Broderson of Lacombe was in a tie for fifth in the born in 1999 and later category with an 85. The tour stops in Turner Valley Monday and Olds Wednesday.

Kings roster starting to fill up The RDC Kings hockey head coach Trevor Keeper continues to fill out his roster for training camp, which will open at the beginning of September in Penhold.

Griffiths second in Wetaskiwin golf tournament Katie Griffiths of River Bend was the top Central Albertan among the girls at a pair of McLennan Ross/Sun Junior Golf Tour events this week. Griffiths shot an 80 to place second at Wetaskiwin on Wednesday then turned in an 84 to place third in Camrose on Thursday. Emily Creaser of Edmonton’s Derrick Club won in Wetaskiwin with a 79 while Daria Leidenius of Ponoka was third at 82, Clare McMahon of Balmoral fourth at 93 and Shaye Leidenius of Ponoka sixth at 96. Creaser won in Camrose as well with an 80

cial. While the top spot is taken, podium places next to Froome are still very much up for grabs. Just 47 seconds separate secondplaced Contador from Joaquim Rodriguez in fifth. Sandwiched between those Spaniards are Colombian Nairo Quintana, in third, and Contador’s Czech teammate Roman Kreuziger, in fourth. They are all more than five minutes behind Froome. With Froome so dominant and his lead so large, Saturday’s penultimate stage might have been devoid of all suspense were the battle for podium places not so close and intense behind him. Places aren’t just for honour. There are financial incentives, too. Second-place prize is 200,000 euros ($263,000). Third gets half that. Froome will get 450,000 euros. With a succession of six climbs, getting harder and ending with a steep uphill, Stage 20 offers a fine arena for the contenders to land their final punches. The last climb on Saturday is HC or Hors Categorie, meaning it’s considered too hard to classify. Riders can lose or gain big time on such ascents, but surely not the more than five minutes they would need to dethrone Froome, not unless he crashes or has a similar mishap.

Keeper has added a pair of players from the Blackfalds Wranglers — Jared Kambeitz of Red Deer and Jared Ramstead of Eckville — to go with forward Kyle Lapenskie. As well six-foottwo, 212-pound defenceman Brett Wold of Westlock has also confirmed he’ll be on hand. The 19-year-old Kambeitz played junior with Battleford and Melford in the Saskatchewan League prior to spending last season with the Heritage Junior B Hockey League Wranglers where he accumulated 21 goals and 48 assists in 38 games. The six-foot-three, 210-pound Kambeitz had six goals and six helpers in 11 playoff games. The five-foot-11, 181-pound Ramstead played most of two seasons with the North Iowa Bulls before returning to Blackfalds at end of last season, where he played 12 games and had seven goals and nine assists. Lapenskie is a native of Terrance Bay, Ont., and was a draft pick of the Soo Greyhounds of the Ontario Hockey League. He played junior with Miramichi and Thunder Bay before spending last season with Portage College in Lac La Biche. The six-foot-five, 230-pound 22-yearold had eight goals and eight helpers in 25 games with Portage. Wold, 23, is six-foot-two, 212-pounds and played with the Stettler Lightning

of the Heritage Junior B League and with the Sylvan Lake Admirals of the Chinook League prior to spending last season with NCAA Division III Wisconsin-Superior University.

115 athletes, 35 coaches and staff prepare for 2014 Special Olympics Canada Summer Games A number of Central Albertans have been selected to Team Alberta’s training squad to prepare for the 2014 Special Olympics Canada Summer Games in Vancouver. The team includes 115 athletes in a variety of sports and 35 coaches and mission staff. They will train together until the Summer Games. Barb Welsby and Carlos Villafuerte of Red Deer and Mike Dougan, Aaron Johnson and 63-year-old Barry Robb of Olds are with the 10-pin bowling team.

CALGARY — Fearful that the Montreal Alouettes’ slump could end at any time, John Hufnagel is urging his Calgary Stampeders offence to be better in their rematch this week. “We need to score more points because Montreal will score more than they did last week,” the Stampeders head coach said Friday. The Stampeders and Alouettes complete their home-and-home Canadian Football League series today at McMahon Stadium. The Stampeders (2-1) shut down the struggling Alouettes 22-14 on July 12, sending Montreal to backto-back losses at home for the first time since 2006. A loss this week would leave the Alouettes a woeful 1-3 under new head coach Dan Hawkins. They have started that badly only once since 1997, in the 2007 season. Hufnagel spoke cautiously about the Alouettes’ troubles continuing. “I’ve been associated with teams that have been in ‘WE UNDERSTAND WE slumps and (the DIDN’T GET THEIR BEST Alouettes) will OFFENSIVE OUTING explode one day. I just hope it’s not LAST WEEK AND WE (Saturday) at five KNOW WE’LL GET o’clock,” he said, drawing snickers THEIR BEST THIS WEEK from the gathered AND WE’RE READY media. FOR IT.’ Kevin Glenn will start again — ANTHONY CALVILLO at quarterback MONTREAL ALOUETTES QUARTERBACK for Calgary. The 34-year-old stepped in to start last week after Drew Tate suffered a strained forearm muscle in a loss to the Saskatchewan Roughriders July 5. Glenn was 22-of-28 passing for 268 yards and a touchdown pass against the Alouettes with six of his 10 completions in the second half turning second down into first downs. Glenn went on record this week as saying he doesn’t like back-to-back games because of the boredom factor brought on by seeing the same opposition faces for two straight weeks. He softened that statement Friday by admitting it helps make preparation easier. “But it’s the adjustments that happen during the game that’s going to decide the game,” he said. “They’re going to come in with some wrinkles that we probably haven’t seen and we’re going to have to adjust to them.” The Stampeders held Calvillo to 205 passing yards with one TD pass and an interception and sacked the 40-year-old six times last week. Calgary’s defence held Montreal to 53 rushing yards. “It always starts with (Calgary’s) defensive line,” said Calvillo, who will start despite suffering an thumb injury on his throwing hand in practice Wednesday.

RODEO

DAYS BY TREENA MIELKE RIMBEY REVIEW

Photos by SCOTTY AITKEN/freelance

The Rimbey Rodeo weekend’s ongoing potpourri of events turned the town into a hub of activity, giving young and old alike ample opportunity to have fun, enjoy the festivities and socialize. “I have had really good feedback, overall,” said Jackie Stratton, Rimbey Chamber of Commerce president. “And when I came in in the morning, the town was bustling.” Stratton was glad businesses participate in sidewalk sales and others decorate their premises for rodeo days. ATB won the Chamber-sponsored decorating contest and the Flower Gallery was second. Servus Credit Union and Scratchin’ the Surface each received honourable mention. Peter Stenstrom, director of community services, was pleased with the parade, noting it gets bigger each year. He said the Red Deer Royals and the Red Deer Adult Marching Band were big hits. Also, the unusual attractions of a boy on a bull, a man with a buffalo on a leash and the Edmonton Sheriff’s Posse were crowd pleasers. Registrations are not taken for the parade and participants simply line up in the field behind the high school before starting time. “It works well,” said Stressor “We have about half as many people in the parade as we have watching it.” The Rimbey Farmer’s Market, usually at Pas Ka Poo Park, was held in the parking lot of Servus Credit Union. Manager Gayle Rondeel said the location proved to be a good one. “This way the vendors got to see the parade as well,” she said. “We thought it would be in keeping with the sidewalk sales that were going on.” The West Lake Community musicians, a group that usually plays at the farmers market in Pas Ka Poo Park, entertained at the Beatty House after the parade during the annual rodeo barbecue. “We very much enjoyed them playing,” said Florence Stemo from the Beatty House, noting a good crowd attended the event and close to $900 was raised from the barbecue. All funds will go to the Beatty House. The annual Rimbey Rodeo pancake breakfast, held July 12 and sponsored by Servus Credit Union and Rimbey Co-op, was well attended. All proceeds from the breakfast went to the FCSS adult day support program. Eckrim Agencies’ 20th anniversary customer appreciation beef on a bun lunch also drew a good crowd.

Advocate writer takes on the most popular rides on the Westerner Days midway BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF

I am going to have nightmares about plunging to my death while falling upside down from a carnival ride for weeks. Being a team player, I volunteered for the sweet assignment of testing the thrill rides at the midway during this year’s Westerner Days Fair and Exposition. I also used a wearable camera so readers could get a sense of the rides. I chose five rides randomly and rated them on an adrenalin scale of one to 10, with one being “Lame” and 10 being “Wowza!.”

Description: A looping or reversing rollar-coaster where riders are suspended upside down briefly before the ride quickly reverses direction. If there was ever a ride that needed a panic button, it’s this one. Best to keep your eyes shut so you will not see the terror on the faces of other passengers. Fear factor: 10 Scream factor: 10 Height requirement: 1.2 metres or 48 inches

Remembering Will Campbell, one radical old Baptist patriarch

RELIGION

state? ... Where are they now?” Campbell, he died last month at the age of 88, was a complex activist and writer who made lots of people mad for lots of reasons. Raised in rural Mississippi, he thrived at Yale Divinity School and failed as a small-town pastor. He accompanied the Freedom Riders in 1961 and marched in Birmingham, Ala., in 1963. He tried to avoid reporters, but was tight with country-music rebels like Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings. He opposed both abortion and the death penalty and, late in life, backed gay rights. The self-proclaimed “bootleg Baptist” spent his life preaching forgiveness and reconciliation, yet also called religious conservatives “ecclesiastical highwaymen” who were “espousing a course that is a roller coaster to a fascist theocracy.” Pushed to summarize his theology he stated: “We’re all bastards, but God loves us anyway.” “Will was fond of saying that if you are going to love one then you have to love everyone. ... This meant rednecks as well as radicals,” wrote the Rev. Timothy George, for the conservative First Things journal. He is the dean of Beeson Divinity School in Birmingham and a former member of Campbell’s Committee of Southern Churchmen. Campbell “infuriated many,” George added, “when he befriended members of the Ku Klux Klan and even visited James Earl Ray in prison. Campbell wrote: ‘I have seen and known the resentment of the racist, his hostility, his frustration, his need for someone upon whom to lay blame and to punish. With the same love that we are commanded to shower upon the innocent victim, the church must love the racist.’ “The fact is Will Campbell was simply sui generis. He cannot be comfortably squeezed into anyone’s box.” In the end, the only box Campbell accepted was a Baptist box that fit his own iconoclastic specifications — rejecting all creeds, traditions and hierarchies. “Institutions, by their very definition, are evil,” he

said in that 1994 address. “Their raison d’etre is always and inevitably selfsurvival. They, all of them, when they are threatened will go to any length, tell any lie, engage in any program to protect themselves. And justify it as being in defense of Almighty God.” For Baptists to be true Baptists, he said, it’s crucial for them to teach that Jesus never “demanded of the people who wanted to follow him that they must first know this or that, this creed or that catechism, the nature of the Trinity or the plan of salvation, or subscribe to an Abstract of Principles to the satisfaction of the Sanhedrin.

Growing in Faith Through Word and Sacrament 42886G13

The old Southern preacher had walked through many airport security gates using his cherry-wood cane and was surprised — especially years before 9/11 — when a guard ordered him to send it through the X-ray scanner. After that rite, the Rev. Will Campbell asked the guard to bring him the cane. The guard, somewhat miffed, asked if he could walk through the scanner without it. The preacher, somewhat vexed, said that was a question for his doctor. Facing a nervous crowd, the guard ordered Campbell to walk through the gate. So the famous civil-rights activist — the only white leader the TERRY Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. MATTINGLY invited to the first Southern Christian Leadership Conference meeting — got down on the floor and crawled through. Then he retrieved his cane. Campbell admitted, when telling this parable to Baptist progressives in 1994, that he then gave the cane a “sassy little twirl.” His wife asked: “Why do you do things like that?” “Because, I’m a Baptist! I come from a long line of hell-raisers,” said Campbell. “I was taught that I wasn’t a robot — that I was a human being with a mind, capable of reason, entitled to read any book, including the Bible, and interpret it according to the ability of the mind I was given. That’s why I do things like that.” The key, he said, is to ask what happened to all the Baptists who kept clashing with authority figures in the past. Where are the Baptists who were willing to be “tied on ladders and pushed into burning brush heaps because they believed in and practiced freedom of conscience,” who “were so opposed to the death penalty they wouldn’t serve on juries” and who “would not go to war, any war, for church or

U.S., Canada chug ahead with oil shipments BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — A fiery and fatal train derailment earlier this month in Quebec, near the Maine border, highlighted the danger of moving oil by rail, a practice that has grown exponentially as a result of the oil boom and will continue to expand, experts say. This year, more trains carrying crude will chug across North America than ever before — nearly 1,400 carloads a day. In 2009, there were just 31 carloads a day. U.S. and Canadian drillers are producing oil faster than new pipelines can be built. As a result, trains have become an unexpected yet vital way to move this bounty of energy from the continent’s midsection to refineries along the coasts. Not since the dawn of the petroleum age, when John D. Rockefeller clashed with railroad barons, have trains been so important to the oil market.

Since the July 6 tragedy in Lac-Megantic, where a runaway train carrying 72 carloads of crude derailed and killed 50 people, there have been calls for tougher regulations, stronger rail cars and more pipelines. But experts say the oil industry’s growing reliance on trains won’t be derailed anytime soon. Unless new pipelines are built, there’s just no other way to get vast amounts of oil from North Dakota and Rocky Mountain states to refineries along the coasts, which are eager for cheaper, homegrown alternatives to imports brought in by boat. “Stopping crude by rail would be tantamount to stopping oil production in a lot of the places it is now being produced,” says Michael Levi, who heads the Council on Foreign Relations’ program on energy security and climate change. Even safety experts worried about the dangers of shipping oil by rail acknowledge that the safety record of railroads is

good — and improving. The scope of the Lac-Megantic disaster, which is still under investigation, appears to have been the result of uniquely bad circumstances, these experts say. “Rail is going to remain a significant part of the way we move crude around the country for a long time,” says Jason Bordoff, head of Columbia University’s centre on global energy policy. “I don’t think this rail accident will significantly change that.” The unattended Montreal, Maine & Atlantic Railway train was parked overnight on a rail line before it came loose, hurtling down a seven-mile incline and slamming into the centre of Lac-Megantic. Donald Ross, chief investigator for the Transportation Safety Board of Canada, said Friday it remained unclear whether mechanical problems or human error were to blame for the insufficient brake force.

NOVA SCOTIA REGULATOR TO RELEASE DECISION ON MUSKRAT FALL PROJECT HALIFAX — The Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board will release its decision on the Muskrat Falls hydroelectric project on Monday. The regulatory body is tasked with evaluating the proposal by utility company Emera (TSX:EMA) to build a subsea cable — known as the Maritime Link — that would ship power generated in Labrador to Nova Scotia. The board has been asked to decide whether building the 170-kilometre cable represents the cheapest long-term alternative for the province’s electricity users and whether the $1.5-billion project meets requirements governing the release of greenhouse gases and air pollutants. If the development goes ahead, it is estimated it would provide about 10 per cent of Nova Scotia’s power needs. The board held hearings on the project this spring.

US Rig Count up 11 this week to 1,770, down 165 from a year ago HOUSTON — Oilfield services company Baker Hughes Inc. says the number of rigs actively exploring for oil and natural gas in the U.S. increased by 11 this week to 1,770. The Houston-based company said Friday in its weekly report that 1,395 rigs were exploring for oil and 369 for gas. Six were listed as miscellaneous. A year ago there were 1,935 active rigs. Of the major oil- and gas-producing states, Texas gained nine rigs, Colorado, Oklahoma, West Virginia and Wyoming each gained two and California and Pennsylvania each added one. Alaska, Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Ohio and Utah each lost one. North Dakota was unchanged. The U.S. rig count peaked at 4,530 in 1981 and bottomed at 488 in 1999. -The Associated Press

The sun sets on Detroit, Thursday. State-appointed emergency manager Kevyn Orr asked a federal judge for permission to place Detroit into Chapter 9 bankruptcy protection Thursday.

How the mighty have fallen AFTER TUMBLING FROM TOP OF AUTO INDUSTRY INTO FINANCIAL RUIN, DETROIT FILES FOR BANKRUPTCY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DETROIT — At the height of its industrial power, Detroit was an irrepressible engine of the American economy, offering well-paying jobs, a gateway to the middle class for generations of autoworkers and affordable vehicles that put the world on wheels. But by Thursday, the oncemighty symbol of the nation’s manufacturing strength had fallen into financial ruin, becoming the biggest U.S. city ever to file for bankruptcy — the result of a long, slow decline in population and auto manufacturing. Although the filing had been feared for months, the path that lay ahead was still uncertain. Bankruptcy could mean laying off employees, selling off assets, raising fees and scaling back basic services such as trash collection and snow plowing, which

have already been slashed. Gov. Rick Snyder said Friday that the bankruptcy process would allow for improvements to the city, with a greater emphasis on public safety and other city services, which he acknowledged have long been “unacceptable.” He said it also should offer — for better or worse — a more certain path for creditors, who don’t know how much or whether they will be paid. The process, he said, would clarify that “this is a debt that can be paid and will be paid,” he said. “Now is our opportunity to stop 60 years of decline,” he said. Still, Kevin Frederick, an admissions representative for a local career training school, called the step “an embarrassment.” “I guess we have to take a couple of steps backward to move forward,” Frederick said. Now city and state leaders must confront the challenge of rebuilding Detroit’s broken budget in as little as a year. Kevyn Orr, a bankruptcy expert hired by the state in March to stop Detroit’s fiscal free-fall, said Detroit would continue to pay its bills and employees. But, said Michael Sweet, a bankruptcy attorney in Fox-

Tim Hortons apologizes for blocking gay news website TORONTO — Tim Hortons (TSX:THI) has apologized for blocking a gay and lesbian news website from its free in-store Wifi networks. The popular Canadian coffee chain faced a backlash online after restricting customers from accessing Dailyxtra.com, the online home for the free newspaper Xtra that’s distributed in Ottawa, Toronto and Vancouver. When the publication asked that the site be unblocked, assuming it might have been blacklisted in error, it received an email stating the site was “not appropriate for all ages viewing in a public environment.” Tim Hortons spokeswoman Michelle Robichaud said Dailyxtra.com “should’ve never been blocked in the first place” and blamed a third-party company for the error and the resulting miscommunication. Robichaud said the site would be accessible again soon.

Rothschild’s San Francisco office, “they don’t have to pay anyone they don’t want to. And no one can sue them.” The city’s woes have piled up for generations. In the 1950s, its population grew to 1.8 million people, many of whom were lured by plentiful, well-paying auto jobs. Later that decade, Detroit began to decline as developers started building suburbs that lured away workers and businesses. Then beginning in the late 1960s, auto companies began opening plants in other cities. Property values and tax revenue fell, and police couldn’t control crime. In later years, the rise of autos imported from Japan started to cut the size of the U.S. auto industry. By the time the auto industry melted down in 2009, only a few factories from GM and Chrysler were left. GM is the only one with headquarters in Detroit, though it has huge research and testing centres with thousands of jobs outside the city. Detroit lost a quarter-million residents between 2000 and 2010. Today, the population struggles to stay above 700,000. The result is a metropolis where whole neighbourhoods are practically deserted and basic services cut off in places.

California judge finalizing $1 billion settlement SANTA ANA, Calif. — A California judge says he is finalizing a settlement worth more than $1 billion in cases where motorists say the value of their Toyotas plunged after recalls over claims they unexpectedly accelerated. U.S. District Judge James Selna approved the deal Friday, closing one major chapter of a four-year legal saga involving Toyota Motor Corp. Hundreds of lawsuits have been filed against Toyota since 2009, when the Japanese automaker started receiving numerous complaints that its cars accelerated on their own, causing crashes, injuries and even deaths. Toyota has denied the allegations, blaming driver error, faulty floor mats and stuck accelerator pedals for the problems. More than 14 million vehicles have been recalled since the claims surfaced. Some wrongful-death cases remain, with one expected to start in a California courtroom next week.

SEC files charges against hedge fund founder Cohen WASHINGTON — The Securities and Exchange Commission on Friday filed civil charges against Steven A. Cohen, accusing

Looming over the crumbling landscape is a budget deficit believed to be more than $380 million and long-term debt that could be as much as $20 billion. In recent months, the city has relied on state-backed bond money to meet payroll for its 10,000 employees. Orr made the filing in federal bankruptcy court under Chapter 9, the bankruptcy system for cities and counties. He was unable to persuade a host of creditors, unions and pension boards to take pennies on the dollar to help with the city’s massive financial restructuring. If the bankruptcy filing is approved, city assets could be liquidated to satisfy demands for payment. Two public employee pension systems are the top unsecured creditors, according to bankruptcy documents. The city General Retirement System’s claim is just more than $2 billion. The Police and Fire Retirement System is owed more than $1.4 billion. The documents filed also show more than 100,000 creditors that include individual retirees, city workers, banks, other businesses, property owners and litigants, though amounts owed aren’t listed.

The government has called the SAC Capital Advisors case one of the biggest insider-trading fraud cases in history. The SEC said Cohen failed to supervise two senior employees of SAC Capital and prevent them from illegal insider trading. As a result of illegal trades by Cohen’s hedge funds, the funds reaped profits and avoided losses of more than $275 million, the SEC said. The SEC is seeking unspecified fines against Cohen. The case will be heard by an administrative law judge at the SEC.

MARKETS MARKETS CLOSE TORONTO — The Toronto stock market closed higher Friday as energy stocks advanced while oil prices hit a 16-month high and traders took in a mixed batch of U.S. earnings. The S&P/TSX composite index gained 56.28 points to 12,685.13. The Canadian dollar was up 0.08 of a cent to 96.46 cents US as new data showed that inflation was well under control in June. Statistics Canada said that inflation came in at an annualized rate of 1.2 per cent, in line with economist expectations and up from a low rate of 0.7 per cent the previous month. On a month over month basis, prices rose at a seasonally adjusted 0.3 per cent. U.S. indexes were generally lower after Google Inc. and Microsoft both missed forecasts for earnings and revenue while General Electric beat expectations. The Dow Jones industrials lost 4.8 points to 15,543.74, the Nasdaq was down 23.66 points to 3,587.61 and the S&P 500 index edged 2.72 points higher to 1,692.09. Technology “has definitely been a sector that people have been expecting big things from and it has not delivered,” said Randy Frederick, Managing Director of Active Trading & Derivatives at the Schwab Center for Financial Research in New York. The TSX advanced for a fourth week, up 223 points or 1.8 per cent as investors have picked up resource stocks badly beaten down this year. August crude was edged up one cent to US$108.05 a barrel after rising as high as $109.32, the highest

price since March 1, 2012. Crude’s advance this week has been underpinned by another sizable decline in U.S. oil supplies. U.S. crude inventories fell by 6.9 million barrels last week, bringing the threeweek decline to 27.1 million barrels. Prices are up 15 per cent over the last four weeks. The energy sector was ahead 1.07 per cent and Canadian Natural Resources (TSX:CNQ) gained 43 cents to C$34.35.

Judge rejects BP’s request to suspend settlement payments BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW ORLEANS — A federal judge refused Friday to temporarily shut down a multibillion-dollar settlement program for compensating victims of BP’s 2010 Gulf oil spill, saying he has seen no evidence of widespread fraud among the tens of thousands of claims. The judge also said he was offended by what he saw as attempts to smear the lawyer administering the claims. BP PLC argued that all payments to Gulf Coast residents and businesses should be suspended while former FBI Director Louis Freeh investigates alleged misconduct by a lawyer who worked for claims administrator Patrick Juneau on the settlement program. U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier said he was troubled by the allegations but didn’t see any reason to take the “drastic step” of shutting down the program without evidence of widespread fraud. Lionel H. Sutton III, a target of Freeh’s probe, allegedly received a portion of settlement proceeds for claims he referred to a law firm before joining Juneau’s staff. Sutton, who resigned on June 21, has denied the allegations. Sutton’s wife, Christine Reitano, who also worked as a lawyer for the settlement program, had her contract terminated June 26. Barbier lashed out at critics who have questioned Juneau’s objectivity and have tried to portray the Lafayettebased lawyer as a “good ol’ boy” who is beholden to plaintiffs’ attorneys. “I find the recent attacks on Mr. Juneau’s character are highly offensive, inappropriate,” Barbier said. Barbier said he found it “especially offensive” that BP CEO Robert Dudley claimed during an interview televised by CNBC on Thursday that the settlement process has been “hijacked.” “Personal attacks, hyperbole and use of such language in my opinion crosses the line,” he said. BP says there is a risk that hundreds of millions of dollars in claims payments could be tainted by fraud. “We didn’t sign up for a deal in which this type of corruption would enter the program,” BP attorney Jeff Clark told Barbier before he ruled. Plaintiffs’ attorneys say the company hasn’t provided any evidence that Juneau has improperly paid any claims. BP spokesman Geoff Morrell said the company disagreed with Barbier’s

ruling and would review its legal options. “There is a material risk that payments going out the door have been and continue to be tainted by possibly fraudulent or corrupt activity, and BP should not be forced to bear the risks of improper payments pending the outcome of Judge Freeh’s investigation,” Morrell said in a statement. Clark, the company’s attorney, said BP’s request to halt payments until after the investigation was relatively modest because in many cases it won’t be possible to recoup fraudulent payments. Stephen Herman, one of the lead plaintiffs’ lawyers, said BP agreed to Juneau’s appointment and was pleased with his work before a recent dispute over his interpretation of settlement terms governing business claims. “Now he’s become their scapegoat,” Herman said. Rick Stanley, one of Juneau’s lawyers, said BP’s request to suspend all payments was unnecessary. Juneau’s internal probe of the misconduct allegations hasn’t turned up any evidence that Sutton or his wife could have manipulated the calculation of claims payments or had any “undue influence” on policy decisions. “They had some involvement in those policies, but Juneau was ultimately responsible,” he said. “That is his final decision.” Barbier has authorized Freeh to conduct an independent investigation of the alleged misconduct and take a broader look at the claims program. The former FBI director hasn’t indicated how long it will take to complete his investigation. Separately, BP has argued that Barbier and Juneau have misinterpreted the settlement and forced the company to pay businesses for inflated and fictitious losses. The company appealed Barbier’s decision to uphold Juneau’s interpretation of that portion of the deal. A three-judge panel from the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals heard arguments in the case earlier this month. The April 2010 blowout of BP’s Macondo well triggered an explosion that killed 11 workers and led to millions of gallons of oil spilling into the Gulf of Mexico. Shortly after the disaster, BP agreed to create a $20 billion compensation fund that was administered at first by the Gulf Coast Claims Facility, led by attorney Kenneth Feinberg. service staff voted 83 per cent in favour of the new deal, while on-board service staff voted 88 per cent in favour. Shopcraft and skilled trades maintenance workers voted 86 per cent in favour. A tentative deal between the union and the passenger railway was reached last month just ahead of a strike deadline.

shipped, they are often assembled into so-called “unit trains” that have up to 100 cars all containing the same substance. These unit trains can make for enormous concentrations of hazardous material — up to 3 million gallons of oil or ethanol in a single train. In contrast, when dangerous chemicals such as chlorine or anhydrous ammonia are shipped, they usually represent just one or two cars in a train of many other cargos such as auto parts or lumber. “One tank car of phosphoric acid doesn’t pose that same kind of risk,” says Bob Chipkevich, a former director of railroad, pipeline and hazardous materials investigations at the National Transportation Safety Board. ● Weak tank cars. The safety of the typical train cars that carry crude and ethanol, known as DOT-111 cars, has been called into question by the NTSB since a 1991 study. When trains do derail, these cars have been shown to fail at a high rate. In 2009 a train carrying 2 million gallons of ethanol through Cherry Valley, Ill., derailed. Of the 15 cars that piled up, 13 failed and sparked a massive fire that killed a woman waiting at a nearby railroad crossing. In a 2006 ethanol train derailment and fire in New Brighton, Pa., 20 of 23 derailed cars released ethanol. The cars that derailed in Lac-Megantic were DOT111 cars. “You can expect them to fail,” Chipkevich says. “They need to be improved.” Last year the NTSB issued a safety recommendation to the Department of Transportation that suggested that all tank cars that carry crude and ethanol be outfitted with stronger protective equipment. The Lac-Megantic accident increases pressure on regulators to adopt at least some of the recommendations, experts say. Rail shipments of crude have spiked because oil is being produced in North Dakota in volumes far beyond what drillers had predicted five years ago. Pipelines take years to build and can be difficult to acquire land and permits for, so drillers and refiners needed railroads to quickly move the oil. There was also big money to be made. North Dakota crude has been selling for significantly less than similar crude that coastal refineries had been importing from the North Sea and West Africa. Even with the extra cost of shipping by rail, the benefit to refiners’ bottom lines is sizable. Railroads such as Union Pacific and Burlington Northern Santa Fe were also eager to transport more oil by train. It has helped offset a steep decline in coal shipments, which occurred as the drilling boom led more utilities to produce electricity with natural gas. But the torrid growth of crude shipments by rail isn’t likely to continue. Several new pipelines are planned, and prospects for controversial ones like the Keystone XL may be helped by the devastation in Lac-Megantic. Pipeline spills generally release more oil than train spills, but they are less frequent and not as dangerous to people. Also, the price difference between North Dakota crude and imported crude, which had been as high as $35 a barrel in November, has recently fallen to just $3 a barrel, thanks in part to rising rail shipments. Delivery of crude by rail will have staying power, though, experts say. “Initially rail was a placeholder, but (refiners) like the flexibility and speed to market it offers,” says Anthony Hatch, a transportation analyst and consultant. Shipping crude by rail is roughly $5 to $10 per barrel more expensive than shipping it by pipeline. But pipelines require refiners to enter into longterm contracts for delivery. Last month Kinder Morgan Energy Partners shelved plans for a pipeline that would move crude from Texas to California because key refiners such as Valero Energy and Tesoro preferred getting crude by rail.

RAILWAY: Refineries gearing up In the first half of this year, U.S. railroads moved 178,000 carloads of crude oil. That’s double the number of the same period last year and 33 times more than the same period of 2009. The Railway Association of Canada estimates that as many as 140,000 carloads of crude oil will be shipped on Canada’s tracks this year, up from 500 carloads in 2009. Last year, 663 rail cars carrying hazardous materials derailed or were damaged in the U.S., a decline of 38 per cent from 1,072 incidents in 2003, according to the Federal Railroad Administration. That’s comparable to the total number of train accidents per million miles travelled, which fell 43 per cent over the same period, and the number of derailments, which fell 40 per cent. Whether crude traffic on the rails will continue to grow quickly depends on oil prices around the globe, but refineries are gearing up for more. Just across the Hudson River from New York City, Phillips 66 is building a terminal for its Bayway refinery that will be able to handle up to 100 rail cars — or roughly 70,000 barrels — of crude per day. Across the continent, in Ferndale, Wash., BP is building a 2-mile rail loop to do the same. And in Vancouver, Tesoro is building a facility that will be able to unload 170 rail cars a day. Refineries in Louisiana, Pennsylvania, Delaware, California and Oregon have projects completed or underway that allow them to accept rail shipments of crude, too. That means the oil, mostly from North Dakota, is crossing all of the states in between. (The train that derailed in Lac-Megantic was North Dakota oil destined for an Irving Oil refinery in St. John, New Brunswick.) A Tesoro refinery in Anacortes, Wash., 80 miles north of Seattle, relies heavily on rail to get crude and a Shell refinery there is getting ready to do the same. Mayor Dean Maxwell said the city’s fire department will study the Lac-Megantic accident in an effort to be more prepared. But he considers rail safe and efficient and says the increased train traffic hasn’t impacted his community. He’s far more worried about other things, like hazardous material travelling on highways. “We have two refineries within six miles of our downtown,” he says. “They’re not making ice cream.” While crude transport by rail has grown quickly, it is still a relatively small part of train traffic and the crude trade. Just 1.4 per cent of U.S. rail traffic in the first half of this year was crude oil, according to the Association of American Railroads, an industry group. Pipelines and tankers remain by far the most important way to move crude. Railroads and trucks together supplied just 3 per cent of the crude oil that arrived at refineries last year, according to the Energy Department. And of all the hazardous material trains carry, crude isn’t the most volatile or hazardous. Trains transport materials such as chlorine, phosphoric acid and propane — even rocket fuel for the Space Shuttle was moved by train. Railroads also move three quarters of the nation’s ethanol — which is quicker to explode than crude — from Midwest farms to fuel terminals around the country for blending into gasoline. “Oil isn’t scary at all,” says Mayor Richard Gerbounka of Linden, N.J., home of Phillips 66’s Bayway Refinery. Even if the mayor did think it was scary, he wouldn’t be able to stop it — local officials do not have the power to restrict rail traffic. Experts say there are two main dangers when transporting crude and ethanol: ● Volume. When commodities are

THE CONJURING

Reviving classic scares

SHAKESPEARE’S ROMEO AND JULIET IS RIGHT AT HOME IN A MEXICAN SETTING, DELIVERED ON THE BOWER PONDS STAGE BY RED DEER’S PRIME STOCK THEATRE Skeleton puppets, ghoulish masks, candle-lit shrines and other Day of the Dead symbols appear in Bard on Bower’s atmospheric Romeo and Juliet, which opened Thursday at Red Deer’s Bower Ponds. Prime Stock Theatre’s artistic director Thomas Usher transported the starcrossed lovers to Mexico some 200 years ago in his largely entertaining production running on the outdoor stage. And you get the sense that ShakeLANA speare would MICHELIN have approved of the trans-Atlantic move. His famous tragedy already contains so much foreshadowing of premature death that setting the play in the middle of Mexico’s macabre ancestral celebration makes perfect sense. The novel setting allowed Prime Stock Theatre director Thomas Usher to try incorporating heel-clacking Latin dance moves at the masked celebration at the beginning of the play, and a matador-inspired sword fight between Mercutio and Tybalt that included a waving red cape. Friar Lawrence got to marry Romeo and Juliet in front of a Catholic altar full of flickering candles and flower offerings. And several characters, including Juliet’s Nurse, were able to make the most of Spanish speech inflections. Of course, this is all window dressing. You should be able to set Shakespeare’s ill-fated romance anywhere and rely on the power of the story and the language to draw audiences in. Usher’s innovative Bard on Bower production was successful at doing just that — especially in the first half. The director did a great job of casting actors who can speak Shakespearean verse like it’s second nature. As a result, audience members understood what was going on and could sit back and luxuriate in the Bard’s poetic imagery. For instance, when Romeo, played by Aaron Casselman, first laid eyes on Juliet (Natascha Schulmesiter) at the masked ball he said, “Oh, she doth teach the torches to burn bright! It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night like a rich jewel in an Ethiope’s ear, beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear.” You know he thinks she’s hot, but nobody says it like Shakespeare. Casselman plays a Romeo who’s young enough to be in love with love, but old enough to recognize his feelings for Juliet go deeper than his former infatuation with Rosalind. In the early scenes, Romeo’s romantic infectious giddiness helped energize the production. Schulmeister, who has chemistry with Casselman, comes across as a willful 14-year-old, which is the right age for Juliet. She hits the emotional highs and lows of a young woman who finds her love thwarted from every side. But Schulmeister needs to find more subtle in-between emotions to keep her Juliet relatable and take some edge off her desperation. Juliet’s Nurse is usually played by a much older woman than Nicole Leal, but Leal managed to ham it up for laughs, putting on fine lady airs when she first meets Romeo and his friends Benvolio and Mercutio, and later playing dumb when Juliet pumps her for information

The Conjuring 2.5 stars (out of four) Rated: 14A

REVIEW

In a summer movie season lousy with CGI and other bad magic, The Conjuring comes as a welcome surprise with its dedication to simple shocks. “Simple” is the operative word, and it’s a shame the film is being marketed with “scariest movie ever” buzz and blarney. Excessive PETER hype for HOWELL this picture only risks disappointing people. Director James Wan (Saw, Insidious) and screenwriters Chad Hayes and Carey Hayes (The Reaping) don’t bring any new boos to the bash, but they’re very good at reconjuring old ones. There are more now-you-see-me jolts here than in Now You See Me. But this is a horror film where a pair of suddenly clapping hands gives you the heebie-jeebies, and Wan doesn’t cheat with his jump scares. People in this movie generally turn on the lights in darkened rooms as they enter them, as normal people would. The Conjuring is based on the proverbial true story. Patrick Wilson (an Insidious alumnus) and Vera Farmiga play real-life paranormal probers Ed and Lorraine Warren, whom we’re advised up front have never been booed into submission — yet. (This is sort of the warm-up act for the Warrens’ headliner: the Amityville Horror investigation that followed a few years later.) After a diverting prologue with a creepily possessed doll sets the demonic tone, we’re away at the races with a spook-by-numbers saga of a happy couple and their five darling daughters moving into an obviously haunted house. Just look at their family dog, Sadie, who doesn’t even want to cross the threshold — and this is even before Ed Warren shows up in a frightful three-piece suit and mismatched tie. It takes a good 45 minutes for dull but devoted parents Roger and Carolyn Perron (Ron Livingston and Lili Taylor) to twig that all those rumbling sound effects, vertiginous camera angles, rancid smells and unexplained bruises (on Carolyn’s body) are adding up to something that’s not nice. When the bad stuff really kicks in — cue Time of the Season by the Zombies on the soundtrack — the Warrens are duly summoned.

Romeo (Aaron Casselman) and Juliet (Natascha Schulmeister) embrace at the masked ball. The Shakespearean tragedy gets an imaginative reworking in a Mexican setting. about Romeo’s plans. Daniel Vasquez made a fine, supportive Benvolio, and Andres Moreno was a suitably threatening Tybalt. But Derick Neumeier, who has a gift for delivering long, dense verse with off-hand charm and humour, really stood out as Mercutio. I would have liked to see his death scene played out on stage. Having Mercutio die off stage seemed to take some of the emotional wind out of this production. The second half of the play had other curiously flat moments, such as when Romeo heard the news that Juliet was supposedly dead. Inexplicably, he seemed to take this in stride when he had broken down earlier, merely at news of his banishment. A greater head-scratcher was the handling of the tomb scene, when Romeo and Juliet make their last dramatic speeches, and the play descends into tragedy. Both speeches were given with the characters’ backs to the audience at the same time as other secondary actors wandered onto the stage, completely distracting from the deathbed drama. At more than three hours with intermission, this play clocked in nearly an hour too long. Maybe the length went over well with the original crowd at London’s Globe Theatre, but I suspect they

didn’t have to swat mosquitoes. Outdoor productions generally need to be short and snappy. There was no need, for example, for the long-winded discussion between Romeo and the apothecary on the subject of procuring poison, or the final sword fight outside Juliet’s tomb between Romeo and Paris (Tyler Reinhold). That said, I’d still recommend packing some lawn chairs and plenty of mosquito spray and heading down to Bower Ponds because there are lots of great reasons to see this production — not the least of which is Eric Pettifor’s strong depiction of Friar Lawrence. Pettifor doesn’t play the friar as a buffoon or as a despot, but rather as a kindhearted man who wanted to help out, but couldn’t stop the momentum of tragic circumstances unfolding. Technical aspects of the show are also praiseworthy, including Gwen McCagg’s authentic-looking Mexican costumes and Heather Cornick’s sparse set with an eye-catching fountain. Romeo and Juliet runs at 7:30 p.m. tonight, July 24, 28 and Aug. 2, and at 2 p.m. on July 27 and Aug. 3. Bard on Bower’s As You Like It opens on July 25.

The 45-year-old group that’s been swept our way because of Calgary’s flood-damaged Saddledome is one that music fans have always tended to either love or hate. Those who idolize Rush are truly enraptured — Rolling Stone magazine once called them the “Trekkies” of rock. These devotees praise the band’s experimentation and diversity. They admire Rush’s musical shape-shifting over the years, noting the band has moved through a bluesy hard rock phase in the early 1970s to an ongoing affair with progressive rock, including a fantasy-inspired lyrics — all without softening its sound. In the ’80s, Rush piloted a controversial mix of synthesizer-powered rock

More recently, the band once again has a more guitardriven acoustic vibe. Even detractors have to give Rush brownie points for musicianship.

While his voice has drawn the ire of some critics, Lee is an award-winning bass player, whose technique has proved influential in the heavy metal genre. According to Wikipedia, he has inspired such players as Cliff Burton of Metallica and Steve Harris of Iron

Maiden. Rush’s guitarist Alex Lifeson developed signature riffs, including unusual electronic effects and innovative chord structures, which were influenced by Jimi Hendrix, Pete Townshend and Jimmy Page. He’s even thrown in interesting classical and Spanish guitar flourishes. The group’s percussionist, Neil Peart, was voted the greatest rock drummer by music fans, critics and fans on drummerworld.com. His incorporation of unlikely instruments, including glockenspiel and tubular bells, helped create Rush’s sonic breadth and diversity. Peart’s eclectic songwriting, which has drawn on science fiction, literature and philosophy, also helped create Rush’s niche as the cerebral fan’s rock group.

Widely respected Canadian jazz musician Appleyard dies BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Peter Appleyard was remembered by friends and colleagues as a seemingly effortless master of the vibraphone, a buoyant bon vivant and a Canadian jazz legend. Appleyard died Wednesday night at home of natural causes at age 84, confirmed his friend and manager John Cripton of Great World Artists. Over a long decorated onstage career that also included forays into TV and radio broadcasting, Appleyard shared the stage with such luminaries as Frank Sinatra, Miles Davis, Oscar Peterson, Mel Torme and Ella Fitzgerald. The last of his 22 albums, Sophisticated Ladies, came out in June 2012 and featured collaborations with a number of younger Canadian jazz chanteuses, includFile photo by THE CANADIAN PRESS ing Jill Barber, EmilieClaire Barlow and Eliza- Canadian jazz legend beth Shepherd, who re- Peter Appleyard has membered Appleyard as a master player, a char- died. ismatic storyteller and a unique talent. “He is one of our legends,” she said Thursday in a phone interview from Montreal. “He is Canadian jazz, he and Oscar (Peterson) and others. I would put him up there with Oscar. I think he put us on the map. He’s our history.” Born in Lincolnshire on the east coast of England, Appleyard became a drummer during the Second World War before immigrating to Toronto in 1951. He started his own band in 1956 and immediately began lining up commercial work with frequent television and radio appearances, including hosting gigs on CBC-Radio’s Patti and Peter (alongside Patti Lewis) and the CBC-TV program Mallets and Brass, with Guido Basso. But his career took a pivotal turn in 1972 when a casual conversation with famed clarinetist Benny Goodman — otherwise known as the “King of Swing” — turned into a head-turning position in Goodman’s sextet as well as globe-trotting tours for Appleyard. His last performance was this past May, when he and a group of his decorated friends gathered for a night of jazz in Appleyard’s barn, including Basso on trumpet, Jane Bunnett on sax, Terry Clarke on drums, Joe Sealy on piano and Dave Young on the bass. Young met Appleyard in the early 1960s when they played together in Winnipeg. He called Appleyard a “wonderful human being” and said the secret to his vibraphone playing — in addition to his ability to imbue his playing with an undeniable swing — was his magnetic stage presence and the feeling he poured into his work. “Emotionally, he got into the music,” Young said. “Whenever he improvised, you always felt there was a lot of emotion behind what he was playing. ... The audience always picked up on that emotional signal.” Those who worked with Appleyard recently also marvelled at his indefatigable drive. “He seemingly had endless energy for getting the right take,” said Barber, who sang Cole Porter’s Love for Sale on Appleyard’s final album. “Even as a man in his 80s, he was very fluid with the vibraphone. ... It didn’t look like he was making any effort at all. It just seemed to be a natural extension of the way his body moves. “Music seemed to flow right through him.” Shepherd recalled bringing her young daughter — at the time, not yet a year old — to their recording session. Appleyard, she said, spent 20 minutes playing and getting to know his tiny studio-mate. Later, she remembered joining Appleyard to do interviews in support of the album — and, instead of talking about the music, he kept trying to steer the conversation back to his collection of classic cars. (Cars came up often with Appleyard — Sealy recalled that in order to stage the concert in Appleyard’s barn, his three Rolls-Royces first had to be wheeled to safety.)

1980s Canadian rock group Loverboy will perform on Monday, July 29, at the Olds Ag Society Grandstand.

Loverboy to rock through Alberta once more BY ADVOCATE STAFF Loverboy is counting on a continued love affair with its Central Alberta fans. The 1980s Canadian rock group that’s known for producing the arena anthems Turn Me Loose and Working For the Weekend will perform on Monday, July 29, at the Olds Ag Society Grandstand. At its height, Loverboy sold millions of albums and the group’s music was a radio staple. Such songs as Almost Paradise, It’s Your Life and Lovin’ Every Minute of It are still played on oldies stations.

The band’s single Heaven In You Eyes was featured in the Tom Cruise film Top Gun. Loverboy initially broke up in 1988, but has reunited several times since, celebrating 30 years together in 2010. In 1989, the now Vancouverbased group was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame. The band’s current members are Mike Reno, Paul Dean, Doug Johnson, Matt Frenette and Ken “Spider” Sinnaeve. Tickets to the 7:30 p.m. show in Olds, with opener Run Romeo Run, are $39 from the Black Knight Ticket Centre.

The then-Calgary-based group recorded its first album in 1980 after first choosing its name from a magazine (it started as Cover Boy, a variation of Cover Girl, and later became Loverboy). That summer, the group’s selftitled debut album became a huge hit, selling over a million records in Canada and three million more in the U.S. Loverboy went on to tour with such bands as Def Leppard, Cheap Trick, ZZ Top and Kansas. In 1984, Loverboy recorded the American team theme for the 1984 Olympics, Nothing’s Gonna Stop You Now.

RUSH: Thoughtful lyrics Of course, some listeners aren’t won over by the social and humanitarian subject matter Peart has tackled. They deride Rush tunes as pretentious or preachy. The gap between the pro and con forces is cavernous, with Peart nabbing second place on Blender magazine’s 40 Worst Lyricists in Rock list, while Allmusic.com hails him as “one of rock’s most accomplished lyricists.” And then there’s that voice. Lee’s signature shriek has probably fuelled most of the criticism levelled at the band, especially in the early days. The New York Times once compared Lee to “a munchkin giving a sermon.” But his voice has softened over the years and a lot of people obviously don’t mind the high pitch. The band best known for the hits Tom Sawyer, Limelight, Spirit of Radio, Freewill and Working Man, has fans around the globe. Watch an indie movie from Scotland or Norway and chances are, the young hero has a Rush poster prominently displayed on his bedroom wall. The group that started out in Toronto’s Willowdale neighbourhood in 1968 has amassed more than 40 million in album sales, multiple Juno Awards and was recently inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Whether you like ’em or hate ’em, the Rush musicians are destined to rock on, winning over new generations of rock Trekkies. lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

The Warrens and their daughter live in Monroe, Conn., where their house also doubles as a museum of the occult, filled with many creepy things — including the doll from the prologue, kept in a glass case under lock and key. Ed is rock-solid and stiff-necked, calling his wife “Hon” all the time. Lorraine is more sensitive and brittle, but she seems to be the real brains of the operation. The Warrens keep numerous crucifixes, rosaries and other Christian symbols in their home and car, and they’re pretty darned convinced that the offending spirit they’re dealing with in Harrisville is a devilish entity of some kind. Gosh, do you think? For those not quite keeping up, Lorraine also sleuths and spiels the backstory of the Harrisville home’s unhappy (and violent) previous occupants. “Something awful happened here, Ed,” Lorraine says. Yep, awful things that have happened in a lot of other horror movies. A whole lot of shaking and oath-swearing will be going on before the credits finally roll, and if you’re surprised by anything that ensues, you really need to get out of the dungeon more often. But that doesn’t mean you won’t be entertained, and maybe even a little spooked. The Conjuring just wants to liven up your summer by revisiting some classic scares, and in this steroidal season of beefed-up blockbusters, you’ve got to admire that commitment to honesty and simplicity.

Saturday, July 20 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DATE: Josh Holloway, 44; Gisele Bundchen, 33; Sandra Oh, 42 THOUGHT OF THE DAY: Mercury is slowly coming back to its normal position. Correspondences will run smoother and delays will minimize. A slowdown cycle is reaching its end and opens up to a more operational life. The Moon in hard-working Capricorn and Mars in Cancer get along superbly with Neptune and Saturn which will ensure that we act upon our wishes and that we turn our dreams into reality. There is hardly anything that will seem impossible with such a dynamic energy! HAPPY BIRTHDAY: If today is your birthday, bring in positive energy into your routine life. The year ahead has many gifts to shower you with as long as you don’t let this wonderful energy pass you by. You are excited to change your way of dealing into something more fun. Enjoy your year of constructive changes! ARIES (March 21-April 19): You will be able to hide you persona and your motivations today and succeed in working solo or within a group. You are able to tap into your ideals and you will bring forward interesting revelations about your past. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You go after your wants with persuasion. Intimate parties sound more enticing than a night out in the town. Be careful with the object of your adoration. You may become overly absorbed or overly smitten by them. And that’s not a bad thing either. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Ask for help from others and you will not be refused. The world may feel stagnant and too slowly to progress, but this doesn’t mean that your life is on standby either. Connect with your social circle and share fun times for the sake of good old memories. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You may succeed or give in to your sweet indulgences. No matter what, you see improvements in your physical and spiritual body. You will tend to work towards bringing additional comfort and pleasure into your everyday environment. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): An inclination to share your love of beauty and the finer things in life may tempt you to live life at a grand scale. Your personal popularity makes you a hot commodity among your admirers. Enjoy your comfort zone, which is your own limelight. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Some say that beauty is skin deep. You can see

ASTRO DOYNA

SUN SIGNS the beauty that no one else can see but everyone appreciates and longs for. There’s something mystical, magical and pure about what you can get from achieving inner bliss. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You are being highly solicited and you won’t want to stay home. This is your day to go out and about and make new connections. Friends will show you tremendous support and invitations will fly from a variety of individuals. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You may want to purchase something that will enhance your image and your most favourite traits. You want to portray the best representation of yourself and, by doing so you may decide to go on a shopping spree that is higher than your allowance. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): People from abroad prove to be of great help and guidance. The turmoil around you won’t affect your willingness to create new partnerships and alliances. Travel abroad appeals to you a lot right now. Plan ahead. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): You don’t need grandiose displays of affection to feel appreciated and loved. You need recognition and validation for what you do and what you bring to others. You value the smallest gestures and the kindest thoughts. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18): You blend in nicely within any circle of friends. Everyone acknowledges you as one of their own. There is barely any difference between you and the rest. Staying true to yourself is what will stand out in you most. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Self-indulgence isn’t always defined in materialist ways. Emotional, sensual and spiritual indulgences can also be your guilty pleasures. The brightness within you has the ability to light even the darkest of the rooms. Sunday, July 21 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DATE: Robin Williams, 62; Charlotte Gainsbourg, 42;

Jon Lovitz, 56 THOUGHT OF THE DAY: This is a day where we are looking for that extra essence to everything we do. The Moon in assiduous Capricorn makes a close call to Pluto which only emphasizes the need to remain disciplined. There is no time to waste, but work hard on our goals. Energy, time and resources ought to be invested wisely and effectively. Loving conversations might not make much sense today. Instead of having an intelligent mind that speaks it would be better to have a heart that listens. HAPPY BIRTHDAY: If today is your birthday, this is your year where relationships with your partner or a business alliance will be both intense and transformational. Experiences you live throughout this upcoming year will bring to light the game of give and take where each partner will be tested upon their skills in equality and fairness. Your main challenge will be relating to one another. ARIES (March 21-April 19): External forces are testing your boundaries and your endurance. You may be feeling somewhat scrutinized and talked about others. Support from others doesn’t come to you that easily today. Nonetheless, you are in full control of your senses. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): One of the Bull’s main challenges is to remain flexible in new situations. Any conversation you engage yourself in might seem too difficult to convey the true meaning of your messages. Your mind set is too rigid today. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You are persuasive and you are trying to fill in the gap between you and another person, yet you end up feeling more awkward afterwards. You are stuck in this cumbersome situation which evokes your inevitable state of hypersensitivity. CANCER (June 21-July 22): When you come into contact with another being, turbulence abounds around you. This intense turbulence either shakes you up or it brings you more personal force. Any suppressed feelings will come out now. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You find a certain motivation within yourself that comes from your past and which triggers you the willingness to act upon it. You might want to reconcile with an ex lover just for the sake of peace of mind and harmony. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You may encounter difficulties in expressing your feelings within your social circle of friends. Personal fears of inadequacy are not allowing you to step out of your secluded

zone and communicate with them directly. A void separates you from the rest. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your rational values and your beautiful thoughts have a weird kind of relationship today. It’s almost hard to remain open-minded when you are constantly feeling frustrated by your team mate’s behaviour. You are stepping into a foreign land. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Poignant words and powerful statements will make everyone stop and hear what you got to say. You are stuck in a deep reflective state where you may also come to a deeper appreciation and understanding of your core self. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Losing one of your favourite items such as your grandmotherís jewelry or a picture of you and your past love may make you quite angry. There is also a possibility that you may be at a loss of money, so keep an eye on your bank cards. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): Relationships with women may either be difficult or just very intense for you. This is your opportunity to remake yourself into someone more authentic and real. Take good care of yourself and eliminate unwanted behaviours. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Cleansing and emotion detoxification would be the perfect ritual for you today. Leave an undesired part of your persona behind and clean out the unnecessary from your life. Stay away from destructive forces. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): One of your acquaintances may put too much burden on you right now. It would not be unlikely if someone tries to rely completely on you and ask for help. One of your friendships may go through a death and rebirth kind of experience. Astro Doyna is an internationally syndicated astrologer and columnist. Her column appears daily in the Advocate.

Sister is sick of manipulative sibling’s ways Dear Annie: My 32-year-old sister, “Ashley,” got herself into trouble. From my earliest memories, she has always lied. She recently got out of drug rehab, but it doesn’t seem to have helped. My parents and Ashley’s biological mom consistently bail her out of trouble, whereas my other siblings and I have to learn from our mistakes. Ashley is jobless and colMITCHELL lecting government assistance & SUGAR and is on Facebook all day long, but says she is “trying.” Ashley is a manipulative con artist. I believe there also may be some mental illness. She is divorced and has three children, and her actions are not in their best interests. I’ve caught her in a few lies since rehab, and I’m at the point where if I see her again, I may blow up. I have a big heart, but I cannot find it in me to forgive her for the terrible things she has done and the hurt she has caused. The stress is causing me physical pain. Ashley is still my sister, and I love her. How do I help her without getting angry about the poor decisions she continues to make? — Ashley’s Sis Dear Sis: You cannot help Ashley until she is willing to help herself, and that may never happen. We understand your anger and frustration, but you’ll feel better if you can simply accept that this is who she is. Please concentrate your efforts on those children. They need stability and solid role models in their lives, and you can provide both. Can you take them to the park after school? Help with homework? Cook them a meal or take them out on the weekends? Whatever hours you can give them will be time well spent. Dear Annie: There is a girl in our group of friends who is really starting to annoy me. She constantly has her phone in her hand. She also won’t do certain things because she’s worried people will “judge” her. She doesn’t play any sports and isn’t in any club, because they’re “lame.” Also, she always needs one friend by her side so she won’t be alone.

ANNIE: Resentful She may be insecure, but it’s really starting to make me resentful. What should I do? — California Dear California: These high-maintenance friends don’t realize how exhausting they are to be around. If you think you can gently tell her that her insecurities are getting the best of her, go ahead. But it’s a delicate balance. If you think she will turn on you, it might be best to ignore what you can and spend as little time in her company as possible. Dear Annie: This is in response to “Wanting No Regrets,” who wants to divorce his wife and go back to his ex-fiancee. I was married for 27 years when I ran into my ex-boyfriend from high school. My marriage wasn’t horrible, just boring. My ex was sweet, wonderful, loving and made me feel 17 again. We decided to get divorced and finally be together. It only took six months for me to realize what a horrible mistake I had made. Everything I disliked about him in high school was a thousand times worse. I’d forgotten his flaws and convinced myself he was perfect. “Wanting” needs to take off the rose-colored glasses and remember why he didn’t marry his ex in the first place. You were correct when you told him to try working through his problems with his wife. Even if things don’t work out, he should hold off getting too involved with his ex. He may realize that he was lucky to have gotten out of their engagement the first time. My ex will always have a special place in my heart, but not enough to live with him. — Been There, Done That Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

HIP REPLACEMENTS BY THE CANADIAN PRESS New Canadian data suggest that people who have a type of metal-on-metal hip replacement are more likely to need a revision within five years, but even then, the rate of revisions is low. The data shows that people who had large-diameter modular metal-on-metal implants had a 5.9 per cent chance of needing to have the implant replaced within five

years, compared to a rate of 2.7 per cent among people who received the more common metal-on-plastic implant. The data, released by the Canadian Institutes for Health Information, show that nearly three out of every four hip replacements logged into the Canadian joint replacement registry were metal-on-plastic units. Metal-on-metal hip replacements made up only nine per cent of the procedures recorded in the registry. Metal-on-metal units were introduced with great optimism a few years ago; the thinking was the replacement hips would be more durable and better for younger

patients than the metal-on-plastic type. But data from a number of countries have shown that hasn’t been the case for a small subset of people who received the units. Canadian orthopedic surgeons took a more conservative approach to the metalon-metal implants and it turned out to be the way to go, says Dr. Michael Dunbar, an orthopedic surgeon from Halifax. “It was the right side of the street to be on, for sure,” Dunbar says. “It was the fact of the matter that in the United States in the late 2000s almost 45 per cent of every male in the country (who got a hip replacement) got metal-on-metal.”

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CENTREVILLE, Va. — A wayward, pregnant cow that had been roaming the streets and backyards of a Washington, D.C., suburb after escaping her farm has been captured. Fairfax County Police say the Scottish Highland cow escaped Thursday from a farm in Fairfaxe. Police received several calls over the next two days, often from people who mistook the aggressive, horned cow for a bull. Officers spotted the cow Saturday afternoon coming out of the woods in Centreville. Police say the cow charged the officers and fled through neighbourhood yards. Police spokeswoman Lucy Caldwell said the cow was eventually subdued with tranquilizers shot from a dart gun. The cow was not injured, but a veterinarian who aided the rescue suffered minor injuries. Police say possible charges against the cow’s owners are pending.

The Parisian ‘salon’: acutely tailored but utterly comfortable, with a low-key aesthetic and only occasional shots of colour.

The Parisian salon concept EMERGES WITH JOIE DE VIVRE Our affection for France was birthed, 20 years past, whilst enjoying dinner in Man Ray. It’s a cavernous restaurant which, back then, was one of Paris’s coolest hang outs. During our French odyssey, we laid our weary heads in a chic little ‘pension’ tucked discreetly behind the Pompidou Centre and experienced France’s capital with the adCOLIN & ept guidance of JUSTIN good pal Yves, who was then personal assistant to uber designer Paco Rabanne. (We’re uber posh, don’t you know.) Touring, we were immediately smitten with the world’s most romantic city. Witnessing the ominous steeples rising dramatically from the Pigalle area, we swooned. Visiting the stunning Tuilieries Gardens we were gripped. The Louvre, with its (albeit tiny) Mona Lisa, blew us away and, as we espied The Eiffel Tower from a petite bateau mouche on the Seine River we were, to quote Bonnie Tyler, ‘Lost in France.’ Yves observed, chest swollen with pride, his beautiful city cast its spell over us. To this day we’ve visited on perhaps 30 occasions. Sometimes, before upping sticks to Canada, we’d Channel hop for the weekend and — far-fetched as it sounds — we’d occasionally travel there and back in a day, the flight from London being just 90 short minutes. If only it were as easy from Canada. But worry not. Via today’s column, we’ll demonstrate more than a soupcon of French flair — and you won’t need to wield your passport to savour the Gallic delights. Before absorbing the nuts and bolts of this week’s transformation gaze, if you will, at our before shot. Not much in its favour, eh? Apart, that is, from a nice wooden floor and adequate proportions. The first piece of business was to establish a mood. With images from magazines, paint chips, colour swatches and fabric samples we sat our clients down and ran through some options. Francophiles to the core, they loved the idea of a room that whispered Parisian ‘salon’: acutely tailored but utterly comfortable, with a low-key aesthetic and only occasional shots of colour. Here’s how, while swilling copious quantities of Chateauneuf-du-Pape and guzzling several feet of freshly baked baguette, we practised — and perfected — our French. Ah oui!

DESIGN

Refinish The existing floor was good for another decade and so, rather than start from scratch, we refinished it in a darker tone to anchor proceedings. Floors are every bit as important as walls and should be accorded the same level of attention. A tip: Remember that several light coats of varnish (sanded lovingly between each) are better than one, heavyhanded, gloopy application that will chip and wear quickly. Be warned: respecting the popular idiom ‘more haste less speed’ will help you champion enduring results.

Waste not want not We liked the marble dining table though, seeing it for the first time, quipped it reminded us of the corpse slabs used in morgues. Mind you, much of that was due to its deathly dull context and we knew it would look much better when repositioned. Dressed as part of our final design, it seems perfectly at home and its solid lines actually add substance to the refreshed environment.

And the medal goes to . . . In Britain we call them ‘centre roses,’ in Canada you call them ‘medallion,’ but — monikers aside — they’re

pretty enough to be positioned on areas other than ceilings. We painted ours (sourced from Rona) using dramatic black satin before affixing a small mirrored coaster from Dollarama in the middle to create an eyecatching light reflecting artwork. As designers, we love looking at things differently and, besides, re-purposing basic items as exciting design components is so rewarding.

sive, we saved cash on flooring. So we despatched any worries pertaining to our normally constricted purse strings. You get the gist: every project has a mathematical undercarriage and, take it from us, balancing the books is as important for our clients as we imagine it is for you.

Re-upholster

Seeing this project for the first time, we knew its orientation needed to be flipped: the living side of the operation was squashed into the narrower end of the room, whereas the dining area (which was used less frequently) occupied the fatter end of the space. You can imagine how easy it was to swap functions around and therefore make the room work infinitely better.

Just $450 for six balloon-backed repro French dining chairs? Blimey — we love a bargain. Already boasting dreamy ebony frames, we despatched them to be re-upholstered using a mixture of plain and patterned fabric. If you’re planning on refurnishing, it makes great sense to get into the habit of sourcing via consignment stores or from sites such as Kijiji or eBay. From our experience, these destinations regularly throw up wonderful cash-saving opportunities that will help you create budgetary miracles.

Iron man Inspired by the elegant balconies that hang (often precariously) over Parisian streets, we visited a metal worker and chose off-the-shelf product to re-identify the stairwell. Sexy wrought iron is seriously on trend and, though it wasn’t inexpen-

Re-arrange

Cream dream The yellow walls weren’t right for our Parisian predilections which is why, shock horror, we re-coloured them cream. Think classic French tailoring with no need for fuss. It’s all — as any good seamstress will attest — in the cut. Get the basics right and everything else will come alive with subsequent layering and detailing. Main walls addressed, we added a raspberry accent zone above the stairs to imbue proceedings with just a touch of drama.

Paint often is a simple way to make things look better When I first began to experiment with paint, I was constantly amazed and inspired by the transformation such a simple medium could have on the character of a room. I have applied paint to pretty much every surface you’ll find in a home, from plaster and Gyproc walls and wood floors to melamine counter tops and cabinetry, even metal watering cans and clay pots. I explored hundreds of historical paint recipes, but often the easiest methods were the most successful. And paint has changed! Paint manufacturers have worked diligently to produce better quality paints that are safe for the environment, so you can find a good paint for any project on your list. DEBBIE Always use the best TRAVIS quality paint you can afford for your projects, and check that the paint matches up to the surface you are covering. British painter, teacher and author Annie Sloan shares my passion for paint and the important role it plays in decoration. She says, “Every room needs at least one piece that makes an impact, where you can pause for breath, take everything in, and then move on.” Sloan is author of many books including her latest, Color Recipes for Painted Furniture and more, CICO Books. From the book, Sloan’s kitchen in Normandy, France, photographed by Christopher Drake, is a stunning example of what can be achieved. The main ingredient used for all surfaces is Sloan’s signature paint called Chalk Paint because of its velvety matte finish. Chalk Paint sticks to just about any surface — wood, concrete, metal, matt-plastic, earthenware and more, inside and outside the home.

Shutterly lovely Window re-dressing? An easy task, courtesy of flexible fin shutters that positively reek of French glamour. We chose these elegant window dressings since their slats can be moved to allow illumination to be ‘tailored’ as, and when, required. Tip: For a slicker look, measure shutters into your window rebate rather than position them outside the window aperture.

provided a perfect stash zone for office paraphernalia. All things considered, we — and our clients — were absolutely thrilled with the French-themed designer revolution that rolled forward, with our guidance, over the space of just one short weekend. It’s fair to say we always enjoy our job but sometimes, when ‘a magie’ really happens, it’s all just, well, extra rewarding. Hey: Vive la difference.

PAINT: Dries quickly It dries fast so you can add second or third coats quickly. The paint is made specifically for painting furniture, floors and for giving walls a completely smooth matte finish. The paint is thick in the can and spreads on smoothly with good coverage; it is easily watered down if you are after a colourwash look. Sloan’s colour selection, which includes an historic palette, makes it easy to find what you need. The oak dresser in the kitchen is done with a coat of Old White Chalk Paint and then rubbed away to create that limewash look. The ceiling beams are Duck Egg Blue, which is a greeny blue that looks greener when applied over dark wood, and then Louis Blue. Visit www.anniesloan.com for more ideas, instructions and videos. Question: I have a solid surface counter that goes all the way up the wall to under the kitchen cabinets. I would like to decorate above the stove top creating a focal point. I thought about stenciling words but not sure what paint to use or if that would work. Do you have any other ideas? Answer: You can paint over a slippery surface such as the countertop material you have, as long as you use a paint that is specifically designed to stick. There are glass paints and paints designed to go over plastics that would work, as would Annie Sloan’s Chalk Paint mentioned above. However, there is a good chance that with repeated cleaning any paint will wear off. Another option for decorating this space is to hang an interesting piece of wrought iron art, or a rack that holds kitchen utensils. These can be cleaned easily and would create an interesting focal point. Debbie Travis’ House to Home column is produced by Debbie Travis and Barbara Dingle.

LED bulbs make plenty of cents Light bulbs are changing, but the changes probably aren’t what you expect. Thankfully, misplaced early enthusiasm for compact florescent bulbs is being displaced by reality. If any new technology will realistically take over from incandescent bulbs, it’s going to have to offer a better lighting experience than CFL, lower operating costs and longer bulb life. This has been the mission of a man named Chuck Swoboda for the last 20 years, and his latest light bulb beats other alternatives hands down. Swoboda is the CEO of Cree, and the lighting this company has been perfecting for more than two decades is based on LED technology. LED stands for ‘light emitting diode’, and bulbs of this kind are not difficult to find on store shelves. What is rare is an LED bulb STEVE that combines reasonable MAXWELL cost, a bright and warm lighting experience, plus a realworld working life that’s long enough to make them economical. I’ve been living with several brands of LED bulbs in my home and workshop for more than three years, and though the light is good and the reliability has exceeded anything I’ve seen from incandescent bulbs, cost is typically too high. The usual price of $25 for a decent LED bulb is one reason I sat up and took notice when I first discovered Cree LED bulbs selling for about $15 each. Curiosity led me to call Swoboda with questions, and that’s how I got the samples of Cree bulbs I’ve used for my research over the last three months. So far, I’m extremely impressed. Not only are the bulbs widely available in Home Depot, they give a warm, inviting light and have a 10-year warranty. There’s also something else about the lighting

quality of these bulbs that needs some explanation. Ever since commercial lightbulbs were unveiled by Thomas Edison in December 1879, lighting output has always been expressed in watts. That’s why most of us have a sense that a 25 watt bulb is fairly dim and a 100 watt bulb is quite bright. One of the things that’s going to have to change as the world becomes illuminated by LEDs is the trashing of that old Photo by ROBERT MAXWELL wattage yardstick. This is the best EdisonThe reason is because wattage referrers to the type LED bulb Maxwell power consumption of has discovered. the bulb, not its light out- Reasonable price, wide put. The fact is, 95 out of availability, a 10-year the 100 watts consumed warranty and great light by your average light- are the reasons why. bulb is wafted off as heat. Only five watts actually translates into light. But for now, the old wattage numbers are so firmly burned into our collective unconscious that you still find them applied to LED bulbs.

The most impressive Cree bulb I’ve tested so far is their 60 watt equivalent. The actual power consumption is only 9.5 watts, but people still think in terms of wattage and light output. The Cree 60 watt equivalent bulb is actually underrated. It’s considerably brighter than any 60 watt incandescent bulbs I’ve used in my tests, and I’m told this is intentional. “We’re trying to change a 100+ year history of disposable lighting,” explains Swoboda. “That’s why we’re aiming to create LED bulbs that are better and brighter than what people are used to now.” Assuming a 10 cent/kilowatt-hour electrical rate and average light bulb use, the Cree bulbs will pay for themselves in two or three years. The best lighting technology will eventually rise to the top. And I’m convinced that best technology will be some form of LED. At the moment the Cree bulbs are the best I’ve seen, and I expect them to give any competitor a run for their money. The real winner will be us consumers. We’re finally getting access to safe, long-lasting an economical light bulbs that make sense.

BARBER Esther Eileen (nee Kurtz) 1927 - 2013 I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord. Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem. Psalm 122:1-2 Esther entered the gates of the New Jerusalem and into the presence of her Lord and Saviour on July 16, 2013. Esther was born in Lethbridge, Alberta on March 17, 1927, the tenth of twelve children to John and Olga Kurtz. She attended the Twelve Mile Coulee School near Picture Butte, Alberta. Starting in Grade 8, Esther was bussed to school in Picture Butte. At age 16, Esther moved to Red Deer to complete high school at Canadian Nazarene College where she also completed commercial secretarial and bookkeeping courses. Esther worked for a variety of Red Deer businesses. Esther met Art Barber 1952; they were married in Red Deer in June 1954. Esther was raised in the Lutheran church and has attended the Nazarene and Alliance churches and Potter’s Hands Ministry in Red Deer. Esther enjoyed spending time doing her handicrafts of sewing and crocheting. Many of her friends and family have received gifts of her handmade afghans and table clothes and quilts over the years. Esther is survived by her sons; Rick and David, granddaughters; Kayla, Breanna and Morgan. She is also survived by her sister, Maxine Morrison (Ken) and many nieces and nephews. Esther was predeceased by her husband, Art in 2012 and siblings; Baby Kurtz, Herbert, Edith, Irene, Alma, Lenora, Ted, John, Anne and Ed. Celebration of Esther’s life will be held on Wednesday, July 24, 2013 at 2:00 pm at Deer Park Alliance Church, 2960 39th Street, Red Deer.

B e a i s a l s o survived by her brother Eugene “Gene” (Carol) Austin of Red Deer; special friend Lloyd Hughes of Mayerthorpe, AB; and several nieces and nephews and their families and loving friends.

A huge fan of the “Price is Right,” she was thrilled to be treated to a live show in Calgary this spring by her grandson Reece and she got to sit close enough to see the wheel.

Parkland CLASS currently has 38 residential homes located throughout Red Deer. Residential aides support individuals to live as independently as possible within the community. This would include developing relationships, participating in recreational activities, assisting with personal care, participating in community outings, administering medications, cooking and housekeeping. Depending on the needs of the individuals, aides may also need to be able to perform lifts and transfers, follow behavioural programs, and provide medical support (e.g., use g-tubes, monitor blood sugar, etc). Residential Services are provided 24 hours a day. Currently we are seeking part time positions from 4 to 20 hours per week. Shifts vary from weekdays, evenings and weekends. Most positions require a vehicle and a valid driver’s license. Frontline Wage: $15.20/hr. to $15.80/hr. Adult Residential Aide $15.00/hr. to $15.76/hr. Children’s Residential Aide

Independent Lifestyles (ILS):

This program provides services to individuals who are able to live on their own but require some assistance. ILS aides provide a very individualized service that is based on the needs of the individual. Responsibilities may include banking, shopping, housekeeping, providing emotional support, etc. We are currently seeking a part time position of 16 hours average per week. It is a weekday 4 on and 4 off rotation. Hours of work are 3pm – 6pm plus every other weekend; Saturday & Sunday 11am – 7pm. This position requires a male aide as per individual’s request and companionship & role modeling, a valid driver’s license and transportation. Wage: $15.20/hr. to $15.80/hr.

Supported Home Placement (SHP):

This program delivers services to children who live in Proprietorships (Foster Care homes). SHP aides provide goal orientated support to children with special needs who have relocated to Red Deer from surrounding areas and the Northwest Territories. Aides with knowledge and appreciation of First Nations tradition and culture are preferred; however Parkland Class does provide some training in this area. We are currently seeking 2 part time positions, each 5 hours per week. Hours of work are to be worked around the child’s (4 and 6 year old boys) schedule and could be worked in the afternoon, evening and/or weekends; Monday through Sunday. Both children live in Lacombe and there is no reimbursement for km’s and/or activity admissions. A driver’s license and vehicle is required. Wage: $14.52/hr. to $15.06/hr.
