Mother Nature spares opening day of fair

BY JESSICA JONES ADVOCATE STAFF

WESTERNER DAYS Photo by CYNTHIA REDFORD/Advocate staff

The dark clouds lingering in the distance, along with a severe thunderstorm watch, didn’t stop people from converging on Westerner Park Wednesday.

The opening day of Westerner Days Fair and Exposition kicked off without a hitch, despite weather that threatened to put a damper on the fun.

Mother Nature’s wrath stayed away long enough for large crowds to flock to the fair. There was also a window of opportunity for the Canadian Forces Parachuting Team, the SkyHawks, to jump into the grounds of the North American Pony Chuckwagon Championships.

“It was definitely touch and go there for a while,” admitted Westerner Park marketing manager Erin

Gobolos.

The exposition and fair opened to the public at noon and Faron and Teri Halliday’s family did not want to miss the first day of rides, food and entertainment.

Their children Jaala, 12, and Leisha Vandenborre, 10, had just finished getting off of the Fire Ball — one of the 41 rides provided by North American Midway Entertainment.

“That was awesome,” Leisha said. “I like going upside down.”

The family, from Red Deer, plans on attending Westerner Days every year. They keep coming back to see the smiles on their children’s faces, Teri said.

“It is a great family thing to do.”

Sully the owl to spend his life as a teacher

BY LAURA TESTER ADVOCATE STAFF A young barred owl has found a new purpose with the Medicine River Wildlife Centre after a collision with a car left it visually impaired.

Sullivan (Sully) the barred owl has joined the Spruce View-area centre’s education team after recovering from injuries suffered in early June. The owl was only two to

three weeks old when it was struck and left on the side of the road near Leslieville.

Centre education co-ordinator Erin Young said that barred owls come out of the nest quite early and hop around and explore.

“They can do short, itty-bitty flights so it’s really a mystery how he got in front of a car,” said Young on Wednesday.

Former Red Deer Rebel Colin Fraser, now with the Los Angeles Kings, holds the Stanley Cup high as he approaches Sylvan Lake by boat.

It’s the Canadian way KINGS COLIN FRASER APOLOGIZES TO CANUCKS FANS, WHILE BRINGING THE STANLEY CUP HOME IN TRIUMPH

SYLVAN LAKE — Lord Stanley’s cup sped into Sylvan Lake in style.

Colin Fraser of the Stanley Cup-winning L.A. Kings arrived by speedboat and police escort into the resort town.

The former Red Deer Rebels captain hoisted the Stanley Cup high above his shoulders before stepping onto the pier and marching to Main Street, where he was greeted by hundreds of people.

Fraser said he was proud to call Sylvan Lake and Central Alberta home before apologizing to the Vancouver Canucks fans, in reference to the Kings eliminating of the Canucks in Western Conference quarter-final series in the National Hockey League playoffs.

“Sorry about that,” chuckled Fraser.

“Tough. Tough team to cheer for.”

The Stanley Cup was the main attraction at the town’s summer festival on Wednesday.

There were plenty of cheers as fans from across Central Alberta and the province lined up to touch hockey’s holy grail.

“It’s good to see the Cup come to Sylvan Lake,” said Shawn Skinner, 43, who brought his son, Khale, 11, to the celebrations. “It was a childhood dream.”

Dressed in his Vancouver Canucks’ jersey, Dale Racette of Red Deer took half a day off from work to bring his children Tasia, 10, and Neiko, eight, to see the Stanley Cup and to meet Fraser.

“It’s a chance of a lifetime that you can see this,” said Racette. “We have our jerseys on. It’s beautiful weather and it’s a great turnout.”

Millie Berge, 79, said she came all the way from Maple Ridge, B.C., to see the Stanley Cup. “It felt just wonderful,” laughed Millie Berge, one of the first in line to touch the Stanley Cup and to meet Fraser.

Berge was in Sylvan Lake visiting family.

“I had both my hands on (the Stanley Cup). I’ve been a hockey fan all my life.

Seeing it here in this small community is such an honour.”

Fraser is originally from Surrey, B.C., but makes Sylvan Lake his summer home.

The centre played four seasons with the Red Deer Rebels.

In 2010, he won the Cup with the Chicago Blackhawks, before moving to the Edmonton Oilers for the 2010-11 season.

Fraser was then traded to L.A. as part of the deal that brought Ryan Smyth back to the Oilers before the 2011-12 season.

Winnipeg police, woman team up Rocky mayor fears town will lose its voice in federal on tip line to report animal abuse ‘THE MORE MECHANISMS WE HAVE TO FIND election boundary change THESE ACTS THE BETTER

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF The Mayor of Rocky Mountain House says the town may lose its voice under the proposed federal boundaries map.

Mayor Fred Nash says Rocky town council members are not pleased with the proposed federal electoral boundary changes that would shift Rocky, Caroline and Leslieville from the Wetaskiwin riding to the Yellowhead riding.

Every 10 years, the country’s electoral districts and boundaries are revised to reflect population shifts and growth.

The Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission released its map proposals this week.

In 2004, Rocky moved from the Red Deer district to Wetaskiwin riding.

The new Yellowhead riding would expand further west and south, encompassing much of Clearwater County.

The proposed district would run south of Peace River, along the western boundary of British Columbia, south to the North Saskatchewan River, and east of Woodlands County.

“We feel we won’t have an equal voice but that remains to be seen,” said Nash.

Nash said everything in the town — from culture, sports, fine arts to economics — is tied to the east and west.

“We have always been connected to the Hwy 2 corridor,” said Nash. “Now we’re getting pushed to the north.

We’re at the very south end of the new Yellowhead proposed riding.”

Nash said the town is well represented by the current Wetaskiwin MP Blaine Calkins, who has made an exceptional effort to be involved in their community, which is on the far end of the riding.

He said town council is concerned about having an MP who may come from as far away as Edson or Grande Cache.

“We’ve always had natural boundaries in the history of Alberta. Hwy 11 is one and Hwy 16 is another,” he said. “If we have an MP representing us from Grande Cache, that’s six hours away.”

Nash said the town will make a presentation at the public hearings on proposed boundary changes in September. crhyno@reddeeradvocate.com

WINNIPEG — A Winnipeg woman has teamed up with the city’s police force to initiate a hotline that allows people to report animal abuse.

Yvonne Russell says she was inspired to start up Paw Tipsters after hearing many stories of animal abuse.

The service will operate in conjunction with Winnipeg Crime Stoppers and like that program, it will offer rewards in cases that lead to conviction and will guarantee anonymity.

Russell is responsible for fundraising to provide the rewards, which can be as much as $2,000.

Winnipeg police Sgt. Tom MacKay says linking with Paw Tipsters is an extension of what Crime Stoppers does best.

He says he can’t predict if the service will have a dramatic effect on the number of calls police get, but he says it will increase exposure of the issue of animal cruelty.

In the past week, three incidents of alleged animal cruelty have made headlines: a puppy thrown from a van, a Pomeranian attacked with a hockey stick and a kitten struck with a hammer. Such acts shake Russell.

“It literally stays with me for weeks,” she said. “I have always felt passionate about animals.”

Russell said puppy mills and dog-

— BILL MCDONALD EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, WINNIPEG HUMANE SOCIETY

fighting rings are the biggest problems, and she believes dogfighting is on the rise.

“People’s dogs are stolen out of their yards and used as bait dogs,” used to test a dog’s fighting instinct, Russell said.

Bill McDonald, executive director of the Winnipeg Humane Society, said having a tip line for animal cruelty is a good idea.

“The more mechanisms we have to find these acts the better it will be. It can be educational to the public, too.”

McDonald said he knows of no incidents of organized dogfighting in the city or province, but they have received complaints about puppy mills.

“They are hidden away and we only hear of them when a concerned member of the public calls us,” he said.

“The only way we find these places is if we are tipped off.”

STORIES FROM A1

WESTERNER: New rides Faron and Teri say they budget for Westerner Days by purchasing wrist bands for their children at $35, instead of counting tickets. The Vertigo ride takes six tickets, of which are $1 each.

“It’s a good cost for the wrist bands and we try and not over spend,” Faron said.

Two new rides featured on the midway are Cuckoo House and Chopper Charlie.

Charmaine Varcoe’s four-year-old daughter, Mykendra Melzer, had just exited the Cuckoo House.

“This is a lot of fun and there are good kid rides,” Varcoe, from Camrose, said.

But it wasn’t just the rides and smell of mini-donuts, cotton candy and deep-fried treats that brought people out to the midway.

Bandaloni, the one-man band and Copper Cowboy entertained passersby. Midway entertainers, including Red Deer’s own Spandy Andy, have daily show times.

Randy Tribiger and Richard Jaburek, medieval specialists from Wetaskiwin, were also roaming the midway.

The sirs of KnightHaven are available to discuss the art of medieval warfare, which uses specially designed foam weapons. ● There are 17 offsite events, including pancake breakfasts, barbecues, a chili cookoff and show and shine. ● Gate admission: Adults are $10, youth (13-17) are $8, children (6-12) are $4 and children under five are free. Seniors get in for $5. Parking at Westerner Park is $6. ● Sawyer Brown will be performing today at 8:30 p.m. Doors for the show open at 7:30 p.m. It is free with gate admission.

Visit www.westernerdays.ca/concerts for a list of show times and performances. ● Thursday is McDonald’s Kids Days, where children 12 and under get gate admission for free until 6 p.m. Ride coupons are reduced by $1 until 7 p.m. ● Sunday is Service Credit Union Family Day, where a carload of up to six people get gate admission and parking for $20. ● The Northern Lights Fireworks show will brighten the night sky on Friday evening.

Westerner Days finishes up on Sunday at 10:30 p.m.

“But obviously, it wasn’t that hard of an impact because it was just his head (that was affected).”

The youngster suffered a concussion and swelling in his head and bleeding into his eyes. He was taken to the wildlife hospital about 40 km west of Innisfail.

Sully was left blind in his left eye and doesn’t have proper sight in his right eye, Young said.

“He’s growing and is doing well with his training and I think he’ll be a lot of fun to use within schools,” she added. “I think the kids will appreciate him.”

The wildlife centre staff decided to have the owl become a part of the education program since he functions very comfortably in captivity.

“We have never kept an adult that’s been injured and not repairable because in a lot of cases they are never comfortable with people. They are so wild,” said Young.

“But (Sully) was just a little fuzz ball and has been more with people than he has been in the wild.”

Sully doesn’t yet have all his flight feathers. It’s hard to determine if he will ever fly because of his sight problems, said Young.

This is the only owl species in Alberta that has dark brown eyes.

The rest have yellow eyes. Young named him Sullivan (Sully), which means dark-eyed.

Sully will not be working directly with Otis, the owl that has helped at more than 150 educational presentations in the last nine years. Otis, a greyhorned owl retrieved when he was about three days old, actually doesn’t believe he’s an owl, so he would be afraid of Sully.

“In the wild, grey-horned owls would be a natural predator of a barred owl,” added Young.

Sully will be used in the same way as Otis.

Children as young as three years old can learn about the owls during presentations.

During the last portion of the program, the educator brings the bird out and lets the children know more about the species and how this specific bird arrived at the centre.

The program teaches about what the centre’s role is, as well as how wildlife become injured. It also deals with what can be done to reduce those injuries.

Sully will help with the workload as well as allow the centre to double book if needed.

The wildlife centre also uses Charlie the porcupine during onsite educational presentations.

Don’t muzzle councillors Every public servant, elected or appointed, should be bound by a code of conduct.

They have a responsibility to serve every citizen, and to do it with respect (keeping in mind, of course, that citizens have an equal responsibility to treat public servants with respect).

For an elected public servant, the imperative to behave professionally comes with one more proviso: you better be open and honest at all times, or it will come back to bite you.

We must always be aware that the political beast has different motivations and imperatives — and attempting to manage the message coming from elected representatives runs counter to reality.

It is, ultimately, an undemocratic notion to suggest Red Deer city councillors should spread the official city gospel regardless of their personal perspective.

This week, Coun. Chris Stephan, Mayor Morris Flewwelling and others on the city’s Governance and Pol-

OURVIEW JOHN STEWART icy Committee (which is comprised of council as a whole) balked at endorsing a proposal by administration that municipal politicians show restraint when it comes to criticizing city services on social media.

The medium is hardly the issue: politicians should be free to speak about the bad and good elements in the community they represent at all times. Far too often, Canadian politicians at provincial and federal levels smooth over the rough edges of society, and habitually deny that government services fail us.

We don’t need municipal politicians following suit.

The provincial government offers a code of ethics guideline designed to help municipalities build a framework for their employees.

It makes it clear that civic employees and councillors are on different

LETTERS They’re speeding on Spruce Drive, too Good to know that the Parkvale residents are sending a message to the drivers and the city council about their concern from increasing traffic speeds in residential areas.

We are residents of Spruce Drive and guess what, Parkvalians, those same drivers go through our street with the same disregard, not honouring one pedestrian walk sign, or the speed limit, which is 50 km/h.

It is our understanding that the council is soon debating the addition of a turning lane from 32nd Street into Spruce Drive, eliminating parking for the residents and probably encouraging more traffic through Parkvale.

Drivers, leave for work or whatever 10 minutes earlier and respect our living space.

Dinu. Bhadresa.

Spruce Drive

Howse Pass a much-needed route I have been reading, with no little interest, the recent debate in the Red Deer Advocate about the Howse Pass Highway, again being proposed, this time by some East Country MLAs. Your editorials and reporting leave no doubt where you stand with this issue.

You and the mayor of Red Deer scoffing at the notion that there are people living in Alberta and Saskatchewan who have the audacity to want a highway that actually creates a very desirable direct link for us with the province of B.C. and the West Coast.

You know, it is a crying shame that this great and wealthy country of ours does not have even one fourlane highway connecting the Prairies with the West Coast.

The argument concerning the Howse Pass has always been that it is ecologically and environmentally disastrous to build a highway through Banff National Park. Well, the tree huggers used to say that about twinning the No. 1 Highway through Banff and

playing surfaces: “In Alberta there is a long tradition of honourable public service. However, employees differ in a significant respect from councillors — they do not get elected. As such, the rules of acceptable behaviour for an employee differ somewhat from those for a councillor.”

The Municipal Government Act, in turn, lays out clear guidelines for councillors, defining areas of pecuniary interest and when statements of disclosure are necessary; and how a councillor can be disqualified and how such a decision is made.

The act sets the framework for how councils operate and how councillors conduct themselves.

Certainly, individual councils can refine that framework, but not in a way that constricts councillors and inhibits the good working of a democratic body.

In a general way, it makes sense for council to have a specific code of conduct, but it should be established by council, in open discussion, not set and managed by city administration.

Yoho parks and, although way too slowly, making that road into a four lane hasn’t hurt wildlife, what with all those silly and very expensive overpasses, it seems, every few miles or so.

We’ve noticed that in the interior of B.C. the government now has signs up along Hwy 1 proudly proclaiming that they intend to twin this highway from Kamloops to the Alberta border.

But it isn’t like they are actually doing any road building. There is the occasional mile and the odd bridge here and there, but the way it’s going, that twinning isn’t likely to happen in my lifetime, and I’m not that old.

The size of Banff National Park is 6,641 square km, Jasper National Park is a whopping 10, 878 square km, Yoho National Park is 1,313 square km, and Kootenay National Park is 1,406 square km. That is a combined 20,238 square. km in just four national parks. That’s over 500 square km for each of the 38 grizzly bears that supposedly live there.

And one more 80 km/h highway, taking up about.

30 square km through the Howse Pass, sorely needed by a combined population of the three million people it would benefit, is going to cramp their style?

According to the fears expressed by the environmental nay-sayers about this much-needed project, you’d think this little ribbon of road is going to eternally ruin the entire flower population of Banff Na-

Many city councils, like Calgary, are bound by a set of ethical standards, established by the Alberta Urban Municipalities Association and adopted by council.

That policy is intended to preserve the integrity of council and councillors, prevent the use of a council position for personal gain, assure impartiality, protect confidentiality, and assure a sense of dignity in the business of governing.

But we should never expect, nor allow, city policy to actually dictate free and honest expression of concerns and issues.

Voters must judge their representatives on their honesty and their willingness to be open and engaged. That is particularly true in municipal politics, where adherence to party rules is not an issue.

If we homogenize or muzzle civic politicians, we have crippled the democratic process.

For whose benefit do we keep these parks, anyway? Only for those who ride horses?

Of course we should make every effort to lobby all levels of governments involved to see this project started and completed as soon as humanly possible!

Calgary Centre: a chink in Harper’s armour?

BY DOUG FIRBY SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE Could a long-term Conservative riding next door to Stephen Harper’s seat in the federal party’s heartland of Calgary go any other direction than back to the right in an upcoming byelection?

The apparent absurdity of the question is what makes the prospect all the more tantalizing for opposition parties. They are spoiling for an upset in a province that has behaved strangely moderate in recent civic and provincial elections.

When longtime moderate Conservative Lee Richardson announced on May 30 that he would be stepping down in Calgary Centre to become principal secretary for Premier Alison Redford, he was just the latest Tory to tend a riding that — through evolving boundaries — has been in the hands of one conservative brand or other (including PCs, Reform and Alliance) since it came into existence in the mid-1960s.

Seeing a near-sure bet, well-known Calgary conservatives have stepped forward to take a shot at the nomination to carry the Conservative banner.

Declared candidates include political commentator Joan Crockatt, city alderman John Mar, and former provincial MLA Jon Lord. The rumour mill suggests other high-profile Conservatives are also testing the waters.

But how conservative is this seat?

It’s worth noting that Richardson inherited the riding from Joe Clark in 2004, a Tory so red he is reviled in “real” conservative circles even today.

Curiously, Clark’s riding was one of the few that did not tilt to the farther right Alliance Party in the 2000 election.

CENTRAL ALBERTA’S DAILY NEWSPAPER Published at 2950 Bremner Avenue, Red Deer, Alberta, T4R 1M9

The moderate leanings are reflection of the riding’s demographics. This downtown core riding is home to a larger than average percentage of young adults, whose household income and education level is also above average.

With a number of apartment blocks and high rises, it also has a lower rate of home ownership than average, a mobile population and a taste for the downtown arts scene.

As Liberal Leader Bob Rae was quoted during his visit to the Stampede this month, this is the demographic that tends to vote centrist or left of centre.

“There are a lot of former Ontarians and Quebecers and Maritimers who are living and working in Alberta. As the province’s demography changes with immigration, the cities and the culture of those cities begins to take on a life of its own and looks a lot more like cities in the rest of the country,” Rae told a local reporter.

Certainly, the riding’s commitment to conservatism has not been as powerful as some other seats in the Southern Alberta stronghold. Richardson’s 2011 re-election was decisive, but the 57 per cent support pales in comparison to the 70-plus per cent results in suburban Calgary seats.

Recent electoral history also challenges the assumption that this riding is a sure bet for the Conservatives.

In Calgary’s 2011 civic election, Naheed Nenshi — a Muslim and “progressive” — came from behind to defeat two conservative stars: Alderman Ric McIver and Barb Higgins, a television newscaster who gave up her job to run for mayor.

Meanwhile, on the provincial scene, the hardright conservative Wildrose Party suffered a stunning electoral upset when moderate Albertans mounted a last-minute rally to elect the PCs’ Red-

ford, another conservative (fairly or unfairly) branded a red Tory.

Perhaps sensing an opportunity — however slim — Rae, NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair and other opposition politicians hung around Cowtown for an uncharacteristically long time during the justconcluded Calgary Stampede, flipping flapjacks and kissing babies.

More intriguing still was the appearance by Nathan Cullren, a B.C. MP and former NDP leadership candidate, who stopped in recently at Calgary Centre to host an interactive workshop for “uniting progressives” to put up one strong candidate against the Conservatives.

Optimism is a wonderful thing, but Cullen and his ilk face a daunting challenge. Of the two declared Liberal candidates, teacher and community organizer Rahim Sajan, is said to be pro-co-operation between the Greens and NDP, but consultant and conservationist Harvey Locke is seen as a roadblock.

There’s one other bit of reality any left-of-centre coalition would need to ponder carefully. Even in a stark right versus left contest, the progressives remain the underdogs.

In the 2008 election, Richardson managed to draw 25,302 votes. The total of the Liberal, Green and NDP votes combined was 20,100.

To overcome the shortfall, opposition parties would need to see a left-of-centre voter rally of Nenshi proportions.

That will require a weak Conservative candidate (Crockatt and Mar are both considered vulnerable), tactical brilliance, unity, massive volunteers and a large measure of luck.

Weirder things have happened in politics. But not much weirder.

Searchers re-assess chance of finding slide victims

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS JOHNSONS LANDING, B.C. — After another day of fruitless recovery efforts, officials in British Columbia said Wednesday that they were re-assessing their chances of finding two bodies which still remain missing a week after a massive mudslide hit the small community of Johnsons Landing.

B.C. Chief Coroner Lisa Lapointe said crews were focusing their search on the areas around the homes which were destroyed in the slide, where they thought they had the best chance of finding four missing people.

Two bodies were recovered — one on Sunday and another on Monday — but Lapointe said work in those same areas has not yielded any results since.

The slow rate of progress means crews will be re-assessing their options and evaluating their chances of locating the two remaining victims, Lapointe said.

“We won’t be continuing the search tomorrow,” said Lapointe from Kaslo, B.C., about a hundred kilometres north of the landslide near Kootenay Lake.

Instead of sifting through debris on Thursday, crews will be looking at the 83 hectare mess of mud, trees and rock to determine what the best course of action is for searchers in the days ahead.

Sixty-year-old Valentine Webber’s body was uncovered Sunday and the remains of one of his two daughters were found the next day. Police would not identify which daughter, only saying the body of a young woman was found.

Sixty-four-year-old Petra Frehse from Germany and one of Webber’s two daughters, 22-year-old Diana or 17-year-old Rachel are still buried somewhere in the debris.

Lapointe stressed search crews have shown great dedication in looking for the remains of the two victims who have yet to be found, but she said the site’s conditions are also a concern as foul weather and the unstable slide still pose a threat.

“We are very committed to doing what we can to help the community (and we will) very carefully assess our next options for the recovery efforts,” she said.

Man at centre of naked-judge scandal accused of sex for money

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS WINNIPEG — The inquiry into sexually explicit photos of a Manitoba judge became even more lurid Wednesday, as the man who filed the complaint faced accusations he was prepared to have sex for money with another woman.

Alexander Chapman, the man who says he was sexually harassed by Lori Douglas before she became a judge, found himself on the defensive as Douglas’s lawyer, Sheila Block, read from his day planner.

In May, 2003, Chapman wrote about receiving a proposition from a neighbour named Dennis.

“He would pay me $500 a week to do her,” the handwritten entry reads.

“I would flatter his wife with compliments and get...” an adjacent entry reads. The end of the sentence is erased. “He would walk in. He would ask me to leave, walk out the door, pay me later.”

Chapman had earlier told the inquiry he was being paid $500 a week to teach his neighbour’s wife computer skills. Block suggested he had lied.

Chapman denied Block’s suggestion and maintained he was teaching the woman how to use software.

The exchange was the latest in a string of attacks on Chapman’s credibility. Under questioning Tuesday, he admitted to falsely claiming on his job resume that he has a university degree. He also admitted that he received $135,000 in 2011 when he sold his share in a jazz club. Chapman did not declare that money when he applied for a publicly funded lawyer for the inquiry, and instead declared his total income at $1,500.

Credibility is a key component of the inquiry now

Parks Canada issues wildlife alert for three national parks in Alberta, B.C. BANFF — Parks Canada has issued a wildlife alert for Banff, Yoho and Kootenay national parks, asking motorists to drive carefully and refrain from feeding animal on mountain park

The organization warns that with record-breaking snowfall in the winter but a late spring melt, there are still plenty of wolves and black bears in valley bottoms in search of food.

It means there’s an increased chance of motorists hitting the animals while driving on mountain roads.

Seven black bears have been killed on roads in Banff, Yoho and Kootenay national parks this year, with speed believed to have played a major role.

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS WINNIPEG — The Winnipeg Free Press is reporting that Ottawa has come through to solve a funding shortfall threatening the Canadian Museum for Human Rights.

The newspaper quotes sources saying Ottawa will offer the museum a no-interest loan.

It will be repaid through savings in the operating budget and revenues that will come when the museum finally opens to the public.

The province will also play a role, guaranteeing another loan to be taken out by the Friends of the CMHR, the private fundraising body that has contributed more than $130 million to the project.

For much of the past year, the federal Crown corporation overseeing the museum has tried to find an additional $40 million to complete construction.

The opening of the museum has already been delayed by a year.

Federal Heritage Minister James Moore could not be reached for comment, but in a statement from his office, officials were careful to stress this is not a handout.

“The Canadian Museum for Human Rights is an important new Canadian museum that we want built on time, and within existing budgets,” a spokesman for Moore said.

“We will be converting and advancing the operational funds over the next three years into capital funds to finish building the museum on time. This new funding arrangement will come at no additional cost to taxpayers.”

Parks Canada is reminding visitors that feeding or harassing wildlife is against the law.

Health advisory issued for Alberta lake due to high levels of fecal matter STONY PLAIN — Alberta Health Services has issued a warning to people advising them not to swim or wade in Hasse Lake due to elevated levels of

fecal coliform.

AHS also says to not ingest the lake water, as water-borne organisms, including fecal coliform, can negatively affect the digestive tract.

Elevated levels of fecal coliform were detected during routine testing of Hasse Lake water.

At current levels, skin, ear and eye infections can result from any contact with Hasse Lake water.

The lake is about an hour west of Edmonton.

AHS will continue to monitor the water.

underway by the Canadian Judicial Council, because Chapman and Douglas have very different stories about what happened nine years ago.

Chapman alleges he had been the target of a sexual plan by Douglas and her husband, Jack King, in 2003. At the time, King was Chapman’s divorce lawyer and Douglas was a lawyer at the same firm as her husband.

Chapman, who is black, alleges he was approached by King to have sex with Douglas, and was directed to Dark Cavern, a website dedicated to sex between black men and white women. On that website were two dozen photos of Douglas, some of which showed her in bondage gear or performing sex acts. King also emailed some photos to Chapman.

Chapman said he was not into strange sex and was only talking about the matter with King because he wanted to ensure King finalized his divorce. Chapman says the experience traumatized him and has left him unable to work.

King has admitted to harassing Chapman and pleaded guilty to professional misconduct. In 2003, he paid Chapman $25,000 to settle the matter, on the condition Chapman return all the photos and never discuss the matter publicly. Chapman broke that deal in 2010, saying he was still suffering.

King and Douglas have maintained all along that King acted without Douglas’s knowledge — that Douglas was unaware of King’s sexual plans and had no idea sexually explicit photos he had taken of her were on the Internet.

While the inquiry started this week with the sexual harassment allegation against Douglas, it will also examine whether Douglas disclosed the controversy, and the fact that nude photos of her were on the Internet, when she was screened for her judicial appointment in 2005.

Grief sinks in after deadly shooting

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — A Toronto neighbourhood is struggling to come to grips with the deaths of two young people killed in a shootout at a block party this week.

Shyanne Charles, 14, and Joshua Yasay, 23, died after gunmen opened fire Monday night at a barbecue outside a social housing complex.

Charles lived in the neighbourhood and a community organizer said Wednesday that she often helped out at a sports program for at-risk youth. “She was a good individual; young, smart, intelligent, very mature for her age, helped out a lot with younger kids in the community, and everybody just liked her,� said Jam Johnson, who runs the neighbourhood basketball association.

Johnson said the deadly shooting, which police are calling the worst incident of gun violence in Toronto’s recent history, has shaken the diverse community in the city’s east end.

“It’s only sinking in to me now,� he said. “I still don’t believe that many people were shot and now Shyanne’s (death) is sinking in to me.�

Friends and family members of the young girl have created a memorial Facebook page called “R.I.P. Shyanne Charles.�

Damian Charles, who identified himself as a cousin of Shyanne, said some of them were at the outdoor party at the time of the shooting. “It’s a hard situation. It’s beyond hard to deal with,� Damian Charles said. “Shyanne and I grew up together and were very close,� he said, adding the family is “coping the best they can.� “A lot of us are trying to do other things to keep our minds off of it. I myself want to be out there finding the people who did this... but I know it’s not my job,� Damian Charles said. “I’ll leave it to the law, as will the rest of us.�

He also said that Shyanne was an average teenage girl who enjoyed spending time with friends, was active in the community and hated violence.

Damian Charles said he is disgusted that the gunmen would open fire in an area packed with innocent people, some of them young children. “I am embarrassed to say that this city is my home sometimes knowing that there is people this pathetic lurking in it,� he said. “They need to be put to justice.�

Speaking from their family home in Ajax, east of Toronto, Joshua Yasay’s family said they are still reeling from the loss. “We’re dealing now with funeral arrangements, � said Yasay’s older sister, Jennilyn Yasay. “We haven’t even seen Joshua yet ... It’s still fresh right now.�

Jennilyn Yasay said the family is still waiting to see her brother’s body, which is being kept at the chief coroner’s office in Toronto.

The incident, which sent 23 people to hospital with gunshot wounds, has sparked fears of American-style gun wars.

Police have called for witnesses to come forward to help with the investigation.

Atleo re-elected AFN chief PM’s lawyers attack Guergis lawsuit

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Incumbent Shawn Atleo has been re-elected as national chief of the Assembly of First Nations, vowing to assert his people’s rights in Ottawa and at the mines, hydro projects and oilfields that neighbour aboriginal communities across the country. “We will take our rightful place in our respective territories,� Atleo told an assembly hall packed with chiefs after three rounds of voting. “We will stand together and put the final stake in colonialism,� he said. “We will reject government’s attempt to deny or extinguish our rights.�

His words were assertive, but an Atleo victory is also a sign of broad support among chiefs for working with Prime Minister Stephen Harper on the joint plan that the national chief spent much of his previous term crafting.

Just over a year ago, Harper and Atleo agreed to a process that created an education task force and culminated in a summit last winter with the prime minister, his cabinet ministers and the chiefs.

There, Harper committed to passing legislation that would give First Nations more control over schooling, and to working with natives on comprehensive land claims and treaties -— commitments he has yet to make good on.

Atleo’s conciliatory approach invited no end of harsh criticism during the election campaign, with his challengers accusing him of being too soft and too patient with the federal powers.

That criticism is mislaid, Atleo told reporters after his victory speech, making a point of gently sending a message to other Canadians and Ottawa that he is no push-over, and that he will reflect the will of the regional chiefs who advise him. “Massive transformative change is required right now. I do feel we are at a moment of reckoning right now, an incredible moment of reckoning, not just for First Nations but for this country,� he said, pointing to the need for improved housing and better living conditions on reserves. “The path forward is only going to be hard or harder. It’s going to be harder if governments don’t come to the table and deal with First Nations in a respectful, rightful manner.�

While Atleo reached out to his opponents in his victory speech, some of them and their supporters remained bitter. “We’re going to keep going,� said runner-up Pam

Shawn Atleo speaks after being re-elected as national chief of the Assembly of First Nations in Toronto on Wednesday. It took three ballots of voting, whittling down the original field of eight candidates, for Atleo to claim the 60 per cent of the vote he needed for victory.

Palmater, a Mi’kmaw lawyer who led an anti-Atleo campaign. “This is a movement that won’t stop now.

Our movement is strong.�

Palmater claimed 141 votes in the third ballot, while Atleo won support from 341 chiefs out of 512.

Bill Erasmus, a regional chief from Northwest Territories, placed a distant third.

Atleo’s victory on Wednesday shows that the large majority of chiefs could live with his plan, and want to see it continued, chiefs from all sides conceded. “It’s a confirmation of the work that he’s done and that our executive and our chiefs have done over the last three years. And we have three more years to follow through with plans,� said Jody Wilson-Raybould, the B.C. regional chief and a staunch Atleo advocate.

Harper was quick to offer his congratulations, issuing a statement within seconds of the declaration of victory. And Aboriginal Affairs Minister John Duncan noted the mandate Atleo has now to pursue their common agenda. “Today’s outcome is an acknowledgment of the progress we are making toward our common goal of healthier, more self-sufficient First Nation communities.�

Death rate among Inuit children soars

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — A new study paints a bleak picture of life — and death — among children and teenagers living in the Inuit Nunangat, the four Arctic regions that make up the Inuit homelands.

Children and teens growing up in the Nunangat are roughly five times more likely to die than their counterparts in the rest of Canada.

They are 11 times more likely to succumb to an infectious or parasitic disease and twice as likely to be killed by a non-communicable one. Their risk of dying from an injury is nearly 11 times higher than children and teenagers in the rest of the country.

But the biggest driver behind the staggeringly higher death rate among Inuit children and teens is suicide.

The report, from Statistics Canada’s health analysis division, found that the suicide rate among children and teens in the Inuit homelands was 30 times that of youth in the rest of Canada during the fiveyear period from 2004 to 2008.

In fact, at a time when the youth suicide rate was declining in the rest of Canada, it was climbing in the Inuit Nunangat, the report shows.

The analysts who gathered the data for Statistics Canada can’t speak to the factors behind the important numbers they compiled. They can explain the numbers, but cannot opine on the story they tell.

But a researcher who has spent years studying the problem of suicide among the people of the Canadian Arctic said the statistics point to one of the biggest public health problem of the North. “It’s huge. It’s absolutely huge. There’s no way to downplay the impact that suicide has on life here.

And it’s a big priority of many people — including the (Nunavut) government and the Inuit organization NTI — to make a difference,� Jack Hicks said in an interview from Iqaluit. “Imagine if Prince Edward Island or Saskatchewan over the course of a generation ... suddenly had their youth suicide rate rise to 30 times the national average. What would that do to the society?�

Hicks is a former suicide prevention adviser for the Nunavut government and was a member of the working group that developed the territory’s suicide prevention strategy. He is currently completing his PhD thesis on the social determinants of youth suicide in Nunavut.

OTTAWA — A lawyer for Prime Minister Stephen Harper delivered a withering assessment Wednesday of a defamation case brought by former cabinet minister Helena Guergis, calling parts of her claim “gibberish� and “a fiction.�

Guergis has filed a $1.3-million lawsuit against Harper, the Conservative party and several figures inside the Tory government alleging defamation, conspiracy, “misfeasance in public office,� infliction of mental suffering and negligence.

The former minister of state for the status of women was turfed from her post and from caucus in April 2010 after a private detective went to a party lawyer with allegations mainly about Guergis’s husband, Rahim Jaffer.

Harper referred the matter to the RCMP and to the federal ethics watchdog.

Now lawyers for the government defendants are arguing before Ontario Superior Court that the entire case should be dismissed, mainly because of the concepts of Crown prerogative — Harper and the cabinet’s constitutionally protected ability to make decisions — and of parliamentary privilege.

Neither Guergis nor any of the government figures involved in the case were in court Wednesday. “The argument is the prime minister, under our system of responsible government, determines who serves in the federal cabinet ... ultimately that’s not justiciable,� said Harper lawyer Robert Staley. “Someone who is disappointed because they didn’t get into cabinet . . . can’t take this to the courts.

It’s purely a political discussion.�

The Canadian Human Rights Commission said last November it couldn’t rule on a complaint Guergis had launched there because of those two protections. But Staley went further, saying that many parts of Guergis’s claim were contradictory and not based in fact, and represented an abuse of process.

For example, he pointed out that Guergis based parts of her claim on conversations within the heart of the Prime Minister’s Office about which she wouldn’t have had the “foggiest clue.� “This is throwing things against the wall to see what sticks,� said Staley, who is also representing Labour Minister Lisa Raitt, MP Shelly Glover and Harper’s principal secretary Ray Novak. “This is as bald as you can get.�

2,900 from around globe sign petition against Tory science cuts EDMONTON — More than 2,900 people from around the world have signed an online petition aimed at saving a unique open-air freshwater laboratory from federal government budget cuts.

About one-third of those signing the document come from outside Canada, Heidi Swanson, a biologist helping organize the effort to save the Experimental Lakes Area, said Wednesday.

The petition has been signed by both scientists and non-scientists alike, she said.

“There was a mixture of scientists, but a lot of people were just cottagers, people that are generally concerned about the environment, including other cuts to science and environmental regulation.”

The experimental area, which includes 58 remote Ontario lakes and an on-site laboratory, has yielded crucial long-term data on concerns such as acid rain and fertilizer contamination. Scientists say it continues to be a base for research relevant to questions on the cumulative impacts of oilsands development, how ecosystems process toxins such as mercury, the effects of hydro development and climate change.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s Tory government has ordered it closed next March for a saving of $2 million.

OTTAWA — Treasury Board President Tony Clement has been cleared of allegations of unethical conduct in his dealings with two constituents.

But he’s been warned about improperly using his ministerial title to promote local enterprises.

Federal ethics watchdog Mary Dawson says Clement did not give preferential treatment to Lord and Partners when he appeared in a promotional video for the Huntsville, Ont.-based firm.

Indeed, she says Clement checked with her before agreeing to a cameo role in the 2008 video and she gave her stamp of approval.

Still, in her report Dawson issues a “note of caution:” Clement should have identified himself in the video simply as the MP for Parry SoundMuskoka.

She says he should not have mentioned his ministerial title, which implied use of his cabinet position to derive greater assistance for his constituents than for other Canadians.

Dawson also says she found no evidence Clement was subsequently involved in awarding six different federal defence contracts to Lord and Partners, which supplies environmentally friendly solvents and cleaning products.

Nor did she find evidence that Clement is personal friends with company president Barry Young or with George Young, a Huntsville municipal councillor who produced the video.

Hence, Dawson says Clement did nothing improper when he recommended Young’s appointment to the Canadian Tourism Commission.

“I did this out of protest to the RCMP, Judge Webb and my lawyer,” he said, referring to an earlier conviction in 2007, when he was accused of attempting to remove a 10-year old boy from his home.

“He asked to go home Friday night. He kept my spirits up. He was always playing ... always laughing and smiling. ... I did not harm him in any way possible.

HIDDEN GEM The Turin Horse Directed by Bela Tarr Hungarian director Bela Tarr has said that The Turin Horse, his ninth feature, will be his last film. He is only 56. From the beginning there has been something ancient and ageless about his films. He seems like a time traveler in modern cinema, an émigré from an older, middle-European world of literature and philosophy.The Turin Horse, a slow and solemn blackand-white film set in a 19th-century wilderness and inspired by an anecdote involving Friedrich Nietzsche, displays Tarr’s uncompromising, commitment to darkness. The universe as he depicts it is harsh and cruel. A narrator recounts the story of how Nietzsche, while in Turin, Italy, one day in 1889, witnessed a cart driver beating a recalcitrant horse and threw himself, weeping, on the animal’s neck.

According to legend, this event signaled the onset of a mental breakdown from which Nietzsche never recovered. The Nietzsche story is like an absurd punch line placed ahead of an extended joke, and what follows — seven days in the life of the horse, his owner and the owner’s daughter — is a kind of Genesis story in reverse.

The rigors of life can grind you down. The rigor of art can have the opposite effect, and The Turin Horse is an example — an exceedingly rare one in cinema — of how a work that seems built on the denial of pleasure can produce exaltation. The movie is too beautiful to be described as an ordeal, but it is sufficiently intense and unyielding that when it is over, you may feel, along with awe, a measure of relief. Which may sound like a reason to stay away, but is exactly the opposite.

Tubed up

Tubby

BY NELSON WYATT THE CANADIAN PRESS

It’s common sense that being planted in front of the TV for hours on end isn’t good for kids but new research is beginning to track exactly how unhealthy it is.

A study by researchers at the Universite de Montreal and the St-Justine

Mother and Child University Hospital suggests years in front of the tube gradually increase a child’s waistline, affecting their athletic ability — or lack of it — later on.

For example, the study indicated that a four-and-a-half-year-old child will gain just under a half-millimetre for every extra weekly hour of TV they watch on top of what they watched when they were two-and-a-half.

While that may not seem like much, the numbers add up. The data suggests a child who watches 18 hours of TV per week at the age of four-and-half will have an extra 7.6 millimetres of waist by the age of 10. That’s just over two hours a day, plus more for the weekend kids shows.

As well, watching TV at a very young age translates into a reduced range of physical abilities later in life.

Each weekly hour of TV at a mere

29 months of age translated into a decrease of about a third of a centimetre in the distance a child could jump.

“I was surprised that the effects were so measurable,” said Dr. Caroline Fitzpatrick, one of the study’s authors.

“We have children in our sample that are watching 15 hours of television a week, 20 hours of television a week and when you multiply that by a third of a centimetre or a quarter of a centimetre, you start seeing these quite noticeable differences in terms of their waist size and noticeable differences in terms of their decreased performance on the tests of muscular fitness.”

Fitzpatrick said it’s the first time research has measured waist size in relation to how much TV people watch and defined a quantifiable effect on their waistline several years later.

She says it’s also the first time there has been an examination of the effects of television viewing on athletic performance in later childhood.

Researchers began following a group of children in 1998 when they were five months old and they are still being tracked, she said.

The 1,314 children were drawn from the Quebec Longitudinal Study of Child Development database.

“We’re not just showing that children are watching more television (and) they’re less active, we’re showing that there’s some kind of physical price associated with television viewing,” Fitzpatrick said, noting at increased waist size can contribute to heart problems and other health issues later in life.

A lack of physical prowess and muscular fitness could also contribute to a child being less interested in sports because they’re not as adept as other, more fit, children.

“Children’s perceived competence, how well they’re performing in sports at a young age, I think is an important way to keep them involved in sports and keep them interested in sports,” Fitzpatrick said.

It can also affect how the child relates to others.

“A lot of what children do is physically based,” she said. “Any game that children play in the schoolyard, playing tag, being able to sprint and run faster, these are all related to muscular fitness.”

She pointed out that muscular fitness carries into adulthood and usually means such things as fewer back pains and injuries.

Fitzpatrick said the Internet and

A LONG-TERM STUDY INTO THE HEALTH OF CHILDREN HAS BEEN ABLE TO QUANTIFY THE ILL-EFFECTS OF TELEVISION WATCHING ON YOUNGSTERS, REGISTERED

BY THE HOUR, IN LARGER WAIST SIZES, AND REDUCED PHYSICAL ABILITIES AS THE KIDS GET OLDER. BOTTOM LINE? ‘THERE’S NO REDEEMING FEATURES’ TO CHILDREN’S HEALTH FROM SPENDING HOURS AND HOURS IN FRONT OF THE TV.

video games weren’t as popular when her study was started but an excess of time in front of any screens by children isn’t ideal for their development.

Research into the effects of different sedentary behaviours such as watching TV is an emerging field, said Dr. Mark Tremblay, director of healthy active living and obesity research at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario Research Institute in Ottawa.

“The evidence is accumulating that the worst of the whole batch is TV viewing in terms of its relationships to health outcomes,” he said in a telephone interview.

He said research he has participated in indicates there are “no redeeming features” to TV viewing.

“Because sedentary behaviour is so incredibly prevalent in our population, the impact on the health of the population is unmatched,” said Tremblay, who hadn’t yet seen Fitzpatrick’s study.

He expected more studies to surface as researchers expand their view beyond the effects of exercise and look more closely at how it interacts with sedentary behaviour.

Fitzpatrick said she isn’t trying to make parents feel guilty about letting their kids watch too much TV but advised they should follow existing guidelines which say children over the age of two should not watch more than two hours of television per day.

Learning life lessons from a garden The man who I had the good fortune to call my father-in-law was born and raised in Earnscliffe, P.E.I. before settling in Northern B.C. to raise his family.

He often regaled me with tales of the island and once he talked about the lupine and how misunderstood it was.

Early settlers spotted fields of breathtaking blooms and reasoned that any soil that could support something so beautiful must be fertile soil indeed.

When the soil turned out to be poor they turned on the lupine, blaming it for robbing their land of nutrients.

Ah, but looks can be deSHANNON ceiving! As a member of the MCKINNON legume family with its astonishing ability to snatch nitrogen out of the air and tuck it into the soil, the lupine was, in fact, improving the land. The reason it grew so well on poor soil was simply because it could. Today wild lupines are being looked at in P.E.I. for their potential as medicine, biodiesel and even as an organic biopesticide used in commercial crop rotation.

This may have possibilities for the home gardener as well.

None of this means everyone in P.E.I . likes their lupines. It might surprise you to know the wild lupine is not native to P.E.I. and is, in fact, on the province’s list of invasive species. Even hybrids such as the Russell series are banned in P.E.I. because of their tendency to revert back to their wild roots over

SLICE OF LIFE

time. Every year, while tourist shops hawk pottery, T-shirts featuring the lupine and even bags of lupine seeds, the island deploys mowers to wage war on the plant, razing the flowers to the ground before they can go to seed.

Isn’t that just the way of things? Life is nothing but layers. Just when you form an opinion about something (or someone) you find out one more piece of information that changes your perception entirely.

If you’re a tourist in P.E.I. lupines are camera-grabbing spectacular, if you’re a farmer in P.E.I. lupines are a terrible weed competing for crop space (even if they do add free nitrogen to the soil), if you’re a bee — or a slug or an aphid — they’re lunch. Who is right? Who is wrong?

The thistle is as synonymous with Scotland as the lupine is with P.E.I.. The reason the thistle is celebrated as Scotland’s official flower despite its weedy tendencies is . . . what else? A matter of perspective!

One legend has it that a band of Scottish warriors were slumbering through the night when a group of invading Vikings closed in on them.

In order to approach the sleeping Scotsmen as quietly as possible the Vikings removed their shoes.

Scottish blood would surely have been shed had not one of the Vikings stepped on a thistle. He let out an involuntary cry of pain and awoke the Scots in time to save the day; or the night, as it were.

Now consider the same story from the Viking perspective — particularly the hapless boy whose sorry naked foot found the thistle! I am not sure where the story leaves me.

Not only did I marry a Scottish descendant, I am one myself — but one that is a product of a Viking and Scottish union; hence the red hair. Perhaps my

thistle-laced heritage might help explain the stupidest thing I have ever done as a gardener. Well over a decade ago I came upon a patch of Canada thistle.

It was decked out in gorgeous purple blooms and absolutely covered with bees and butterflies. I noticed one of the blooms was going to seed. I was in the midst of starting a native wildflower garden and impulsively cupped my hand around the spent bloom and carried a tiny fistful of thistledown back to my garden. I told myself I would only allow a few to blossom for the beauty and the bees and then I would quickly cut them off before they went to seed.

I would be careful. I wouldn’t let them get out of control.

There’s an old story about a man who spreads some false malicious gossip about a neighbour.

Filled with regret he visits the wise woman of the village and asks how to make things right. She tells him to find a handful of thistledown and release it to the wind.

He returns to the wise woman and says, “I have done what you asked. Now what?”

“Now,” the woman sadly tells him, “You must go back and retrieve every seed.”

Just like gossip regret, as soon as I released the thistledown I realized I had made a horrible mistake. But it was too late. Ten years later despite never once allowing a single thistle to get more than a couple inches high, let alone form a blossom, I am still pulling thistles from my former wildflower patch. They are a perennial — and prickly — reminder to think before I act.

The study’s lead author, Dr. Bruce

HEALTH& SCIENCE

Landon, a professor of health-care policy at Harvard and a primary care specialist at the medical centre, said by taking advantage of the insurance data from across the country, the researchers are able to develop insights into how physicians work together to care for patients that otherwise would only be possible by taking surveys within individual hospitals or practice groups.

Their report, published in the July 18 issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association, found that physicians tend to share patients with doctors that share similar backgrounds such as age, gender (especially for male doctors) and that are based at the same hospital. They’re also more likely to share patients if their practices have patients with similar problems, or have similar racial backgrounds.

Understanding how informal physician networks are organized helps

researchers learn how new ideas and practices spread, and why health-care practices often vary widely across geographic areas.

For instance, the study found that doctors in Albuquerque, N.M., were mainly connected to physicians within their own hospitals and less likely to share patients with doctors affiliated with other hospitals; physicians in Minneapolis were much less influenced by hospital connections among the patients they shared with other docs.

Of course, the number of physicians in a market affects the number of ties.

The 135 Medicare physicians in Minot, N.D., had patient connections with just 11.7 other physicians per 100 Medicare patients. The 8,197 doctors in Boston had ties to 51.4 other physicians per 100 patients.

FROM PAGE B2 “We know that doctors learn through other doctors,” said Dr. Nicholas Christakis, senior author and a professor of medicine and medical sociology at Harvard.

“So, by examining these patient-sharing networks, we can see how innovations — new technology, new drugs, new practices such as test ordering — begin to diffuse throughout a network.”

On the other hand, the researchers said if physicians mainly flock together with other doctors who practice medicine they same way they already do, it could stifle innovation.

Equally important for patients is how the informal networks affect the quality of care and the sharing of information.

Health insurers, employers and the federal government are spending billions to encourage the formation of “accountable care organizations,” where groups of doctors, hospitals and other providers get incentives to collaborate, share information and coordinate patient services.

Medicare, for example, in June announced a new program in all or part of eight states that will pay select primarycare groups an extra US$20 a month per beneficiary to offer more flexible hours, electronic records, more preventive care and enhanced coordination of care among providers.

Landon and Christakis note that in some places, it might make more sense to organize care management around the existing informal physician networks rather than to set up new structures.

Air wear BE MINDFUL OF CLOTHING CHOICES, SCENTS WHILE TRAVELLING

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

and colleagues, so you don’t end up having to apologize for being overly casual. And then your destination and the people that will be meeting you should be another important consideration.”

Blake said she can recall being upgraded to first class on more than one occasion because of her tendency to dress up for flights — a practice she still maintains. “Certainly, the standards have become much more relaxed. I look at it as part of branding, because you never know who you’re going to run into, who you’re going to have a conversation with next to you.”

Blake recently sent an email to someone who’d expressed interest in one of Style for Success’s programs whom Blake had originally met while on a plane.

“If I was dressed in a schleppy fashion, that probably wouldn’t have happened,” she said.

Even when she’s taking a more casual approach to airline dress, Blake said she’ll wear a more “professional jean,” opting for dark-wash denim as opposed to a more casual, sandwashed pair with holes.

Blake recalled picking up a speaker at the airport who arrived in comfortable sweats — attire not suitable for the presentation she was to give that evening. Trouble was, her suitcase didn’t arrive with her, leaving them scrambling to find an appropriate ensemble.

“If there’s a small chance your luggage is going to get waylaid, sure, it will probably turn up, but oftentimes not when you need it,” she said. “You can always bring an extra pair of shoes in your carry-on and have your jacket with you just in case.

“I’ll sometimes travel in a nice sweater, and then I’ll have my jacket so I can put that on for the formal meeting when my client either greets me at the airport or I take a cab to their office or what have you. So expect the unexpected.”

TORONTO — Faced with long lineups, security checks and idling in the lounge prior to takeoff, even a shorthaul flight can feel lengthy for travellers taking to the skies these days.

Perhaps in a bid to stay comfortable, many seem to have embraced a decidedly casual dress code when boarding a plane.

Media representatives from Air Canada, WestJet and Porter Airlines told The Canadian Press they don’t have formal dress code policies for passengers. But carriers south of the border have made headlines for cracking down on the sartorial selections of Photo by THE CANADIAN PRESS passengers.

Passengers wait to rebook their flights at Pierre Trudeau airport.

And in June, the same etiquette experts say passengers should be mindful of what they choose to wear airline told a passenger to cover her in the air. cleavage (they later apologized and offered her a refund). The airline’s contract of carriage says they may remove or refuse to transport passengers whose clothing is “lewd, obscene, or patently offensive.”

But even in lieu of formal guidelines among major Canadian carriers, travel and etiquette experts say passengers should be mindful of what they choose to wear in the air.

Aside from comfort, the reason for travel and where they’re heading are all key considerations in choice of dress, said Laurel Mayne, Torontobased marketing manager for Mayne Travel in North Bay, Ont. Those travelling for business will want to dress professionally, while individuals will need to be aware when heading to more conservative countries where they may need to keep parts of their body covered, she noted.

“You just have to be sensitive of other people around you. That’s kind of what it comes down to. And those guidelines are going to change depending on your purpose for travel and your destination.”

While those heading to sun-soaked hotspots may want to be decked out and ready to greet the warmer weather from the moment of touch-down, Mayne said that isn’t necessarily required for the flight itself.

“I understand that people want to dress for the climate they’re going to. The climate onboard the plane is controlled, so you’re not going to be hot,” she said. “You don’t need to dress in beach Presented By: Platinum Sponsors apparel on the plane.”

For the journey itself, Mayne recommends keeping add-ons spare.

Yankees finish sweep WIN THREE STRAIGHT OVER BLUE JAYS ROBERT GRIFFIN III

GRIFFIN SIGNS Robert Griffin III and the Washington Redskins ended their contract impasse Wednesday when the rookie quarterback signed a four-year, fully guaranteed deal worth $21.1 million. It also includes a club option for a fifth year.

Griffin’s agent, Ben Dogra, told The Associated Press that the Heisman Trophywinning quarterback agreed to terms and will be in Redskins rookie camp on Wednesday.

Griffin, the second overall pick in the draft out of Baylor, announced the news on Twitter, writing, “Well people....It’s Time to go to Work!!! Off the unemployment line and oh yea HTTR!!!”

The latter stands for “Hail To The Redskins,” the team’s fight song.

Griffin will be on the field Wednesday for the third day of a five-day rookie camp.

He wasn’t considered a holdout because training camp doesn’t officially begin until July 26.

The Redskins traded their first-round choices in 2012, 2013 and 2014 as well as their second-round pick this year to the St. Louis Rams on March 10 for the right to

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS New York 6 Toronto 0 NEW YORK — On Wednesday, it was Dewayne Wise. Next time it might be Raul Ibanez or Andruw Jones or Jayson Nix. The New York Yankees are on a roll and a big reason for the success is the contributions of their role players.

And Wise knows why.

“They’d rather face me than (Derek) Jeter, and Curtis (Granderson), Alex (Rodriguez) and (Robinson) Cano,” Wise said after driving in two runs in the Yankees’ 6-0, rain-shortened victory over the Toronto Blue Jays that completed a thorough threegame sweep.

“You got Hall of Famers all through the lineup,” he said. “It’s just one of those lineups that don’t come around that often.”

Hiroki Kuroda pitched four-hit ball for his first shutout since 2008, when he was with the Los Angeles Dodgers. The tarps came out after he pitched the seventh inning and the game was called following a 58-minute rain delay. The complete game was the third of his career.

Mark Teixeira hit a two-run homer in a four-run first inning, lifting the Yankees to their ninth win in 11 games. They are a season high 23 games over .500 (57-34).

New York scored at least three runs for a 42nd straight game, the second-longest streak since 1920. The 1994 Cleveland Indians went 48 games in 1994, the Yankees said based on information provided by the Elias Sports Bureau.

“We’ve pitched well. We’ve swung the bats well the last couple of weeks. I mean really, really well,” manager Joe Girardi said. “I’ve been really pleased with how — it’s kind of been shared. It hasn’t been one or two guys doing all the work. You’ve gotten contributions from so many different people in this lineup. ... It makes it difficult to get through this lineup and I think it wears on pitchers.

They gave Ricky Romero no time to settle in. He lost a career-worst fifth straight start and beat Toronto for the eighth straight time in the Bronx.

The Blue Jays not only are leaving town two games under .500 for the first time this season, they will be limping into Boston

next to the Toronto dugout. The 22-year-old tried standing up but immediately went down after putting weight on his leg. Several members of the Blue Jays’ staff ran from the dugout to assist Lawrie.

“I hit it so flush, and it was just a long fall. I felt like I was in the air for like 5 seconds,” Lawrie said. “From where the cameras sit behind that, it looks like it kind of cuts off right there but it actually goes down like another 3 ½ feet. So it’s like a 5, 5 ½ foot drop. It sure felt like it.”

X-rays were negative and he is day to day.

Lawrie hopes to play Friday.

Ray’s three TD passes rally Argos past injury-plagued Bombers

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Toronto 25 Winnipeg 22 TORONTO — Ricky Ray threw three TD passes, including a 37-yard strike to Jason Barnes with 2:06 remaining, to rally the Toronto Argonauts past the hard-luck Winnipeg Blue Bombers 2522 on Wednesday night.

Toronto (2-2) needed Ray’s heroics to pull out the win over the injuryplagued Bombers (0-4), who lost receiver Terrence Edwards, safety Ian Logan and defensive lineman Brandon Collier to first-half injuries.

The defending East Division champions have lost 10 starters — including quarterback Buck Pierce — to various ailments this year.

After missing a wide-open Barnes earlier in the drive, Ray hit the streaking receiver with his first TD catch of the season before 22,485 spectators on a glorious evening with the Rogers Centre roof open.

And the Barnes’ score woke the crowd from its second-half slumber as the only previous scoring in the final two quarters were three Justin Palardy field goals that put Winnipeg ahead 2218.

A 45-yard kickoff return by Demond Washington put Winnipeg at its own 52-yard line with 1:55 remaining but quarterback Alex Brink came up a yard short on a third-and-10 run.

The Bombers got the ball back at their 14-yard line with 37 seconds re-

maining, however, Brink couldn’t put Palardy in position to force overtime.

The loss tarnished a solid effort from both Palardy — he had five field goals — and Winnipeg’s defence. The Bombers will literally limp back to Manitoba and prepare to play their first home game of the season next week against Edmonton.

Both teams were playing on a short turnaround. Winnipeg came in following a 42-10 loss to Edmonton on Friday while Toronto dropped a 36-27 defeat in Hamilton on Saturday. And it showed, especially on offence as neither club was able to mount a consistent attack.

Toronto dodged a huge bullet late in the third when Dustin Doe returned an interception 33 yards to the home side’s 15-yard line.

But after two incompletions the Bombers had to settle for Palardy’s 22-yard field goal that cut the Argos’ lead to 18-16 at 11:59.

Cory Boyd and Chad Owens, who lost two fumbles, had Toronto’s touchdowns.

Newcomer Swayze Waters, replacing injured veteran Noel Prefontaine (hip), booted the converts, a field goal and single.

Brink, starting in place of Pierce (foot), had Winnipeg’s touchdown.

Palardy also added the convert.

Owens’ 37-yard TD catch with 31 seconds in the second quarter staked Toronto to an 18-13 half-time lead.

CALGARY — It’s not going to get any easier for Calgary’s newly-minted starting quarterback Kevin Glenn.

With Drew Tate electing to have shoulder surgery that will sideline the quarterback for the rest of the CFL season, Glenn has stepped into the starter’s role but is off to a shaky start.

Glenn threw a costly interception late in the game against Montreal and the Alouettes rallied to beat Calgary 33-32.

He said he’s put that game behind him and is ready to guide Calgary in an important divisional match against the unbeaten Saskatchewan Roughriders today at McMahon Stadium.

“The biggest thing for us as an offence is to stay on the field, keep their offence off the field and put points on the board,” said Glenn on Wednesday.

“What we can do is we can come out here and give 100 per cent on the field and try our best to produce wins for the fans.”

Glenn, 33, started his career in Saskatchewan, where he played three seasons with the Riders from 2001-03 before going on to suit up for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, the Tiger-Cats and now the Stamps.

He knows Rider Nation will be on hand to give Saskatchewan a boost in its bid to remain the league’s only undefeated team.

“It’s crazy because I played in Saskatchewan and when we used to come to Calgary, I used to say, ‘Man, we’ve got a lot of fans’,” said Glenn, who took over the starting role when Tate suffered his non-throwing shoulder injury during a 39-36 road loss to the Toronto Argonauts on July 7.

Roughriders quarterback Darian Durant has no doubt that Glenn has the ability to bounce back with a solid performance after two straight road losses.

“He’s never really been a guy that gets down after a big game,” Durant said.

“He always bounces back. He always gives his team an opportunity to win. We know that we have our work cut out for us. It’s not going to be easy. Every team is coming after us. It’s definitely going to be a dogfight and we look forward to it.”

Saskatchewan’s rookie head coach Corey Chamblin hopes the vocal Riders fans help his team to a fourth straight win to start the season.

“We’re 3-0 and hopefully there’s more green than red here, then I’d really love it,” Chamblin said.

“It’s a good feeling right now. It’s definitely a lot better than being 0-3, but there’s a lot of games left.”

Glenn, however, would like nothing more than to help the Stamps (1-2) stop the Rider roll with help from Calgary’s faithful. “The red and white will swallow up that green and white once game time comes,” said Glenn.

“I think the Calgary fans, they’re some really good fans, so I think they’ll do a good enough job to come in here and try to outdo the Saskatchewan fans.”

Defensive lineman Odell Willis, who the Riders acquired in the off-season from Winnipeg, begs to differ with Glenn. “Rider Nation is some of the best fans in the CFL,” said Willis, who played 10 games for the Stamps in 2009 to start his CFL career before being dealt to Winnipeg. “I get pumped when I see them excited about what we’re out there doing.”

Adamson fighting hard to keep title

BY ADVOCATE STAFF Ray Adamson isn’t about to give the North American Pony Chuckwagon championship trophy back without a fight.

The three-time champion from Camrose turned in an outstanding turn out of barrel four and charged into the lead with his Pidherney’s Trucking wagon during the opening day of the championships at the Westerner Days Wednesday.

Adamson finished in a time of one minute 17.44 seconds well ahead of Gary Thiel, who came in at 1:19.35 on the Pumps and Pressure rig.

Curtis Hogg drove the Kellough Enterprises outfit to a 1:19.39 to sit in third place with fourth place occupied by Rene Salmond and the RaiLynn Trucking wagon following a run of 1:19.40.

Lee Adamson is in fifth at 1:19.46 on the Ulterra sponsored outfit with Wade Salmond sixth at 1:19.51 on the Nossack Food Group wagon.

Seventh place is held down

Newest Jackets Foligno, Aucoin believe franchise close to winning

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS COLUMBUS, Ohio — Nick Foligno and Adrian Aucoin plan on introducing a breath of fresh air to the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Both say they love being with the franchise. Both say brighter days are ahead. Both say the beleaguered Blue Jackets aren’t far from being a really good team. “I think we’re going to surprise a lot of people this year,�

Foligno said.

Foligno was acquired on July 1 from the Ottawa Senators in a one-for-one deal for defenceman Marc Methot, then signed a three-year, $9.15 million contract with his new team.

The Blue Jackets were the first team to inquire about the services of the 39-year-old Aucoin, a free-agent defenceman who signed a $2 million deal with the club.

It hasn’t taken long for both to see the glass as half-full in Columbus.

Aucoin sees himself as a solid presence in the dressing room and a positive influence on young defencemen like John Moore, David Savard and the No. 2 overall draft pick last month, Ryan Murray. “I think (my job is) helping the younger guys on defence and providing some stability,� he said. With a chuckle he added, “I don’t think I’m here to bring too much flash or anything, but to help the team get better.�

There’s plenty of room for improvement in that area.

The Blue Jackets went 29-467 last year, the worst record in the NHL. On top of that, they were dysfunctional, with captain Rick Nash going to management in January and telling them he wanted to be traded.

So far, Blue Jackets general manager Scott Howson has not

met that request. Nash provided a short list of teams he’s willing to waive his no-trade clause for, thought to be just six or so potential destinations.

Foligno is coming off a banner season in which he set career highs in assists (32) and points (47) while playing all 82 games.

He was one of the players who guided the Senators from also-ran to a solid showing in the post-season this past spring.

Ottawa, as a No. 8 seed, took the No. 1 Rangers to seven games in Round 1, and actually led the series, 3-2.

If Nash is traded, Foligno will suddenly be one of the key offensive performers on the team.

He doesn’t mind that burden. “No problem. You know what? That’s part of the game.

It’s something that as you get older and more confident, you’ll want that responsibility,� he said.

Sand traps present treacherous challenge

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BRITISH OPEN

LYTHAM ST. ANNES, England — There are no sheep to be found around this lush patch of northwestern England.

Their legacy lives on through a landscape pockmarked with deep, treacherous traps — hundreds of them, in fact.

Welcome to Royal Lytham & St. Annes.

There are a staggering 206 bunkers dotting this historic course, where the British Open begins Thursday. The golfer who does the best job staying out of these sandy spots of doom could very well wind up with the claret jug in his grasp come Sunday evening. “Rule No. 1, avoid the bunkers,� England’s Paul Casey said. “Rule No. 2, if you’re in a bunker, just get it out. Don’t go for the glory shot.�

While pot bunkers can be found at golf clubs around the world, they are a distinctive feature on links courses, right up there with inclement weather.

What they lack in size they make up for in depth, leaving a much tougher escape route than the traps typically found on PGA Tour layouts.

The origins of the pot bunker supposedly traces back centuries, when sheep burrowed into the ground seeking warmth and shelter from the notorious coastal weather. The modern version is created with layers of sod stacked atop each other, similar to bricklaying, which creates a menacing wall that usually leaves the offender with little chance of pulling off a decent shot.

Tony Jacklin, who won the 1969 Open at Lytham, defined the bunker mentality this way: players accepting that fate every time a ball tumbles into the sand. “The bunkers essentially have a red line around them,� he said. “I mean, they’re a oneshot penalty.�

Maintaining that imposing line of defence takes up plenty of the grounds crew’s time and efforts. To prevent weeds sprouting from the sodden bricks, a herbicide is applied using a soft bristle brush, almost like painting the side of a house. “Last week, we went out there and pulled out any stray weeds by hand,� Lloyd Balazs, a full-

time groundskeeper at the club, said as he walked along the 18th fairway under a setting sun Wednesday, the start of the tournament just hours away. “If we need to, we’ll brush the sides to get any sand off.�

Of course, the bunkers don’t get nearly as much of a workout during the British Open as they do when regular duffers are playing. And either way, there was even some disagreement over just how many there were.

Some media outlets reported 205. Others, including the Royal & Ancient governing body, said it was 206. Not that one less bunker will be much consolation for the 156 players chasing golf’s oldest major title. “At any links golf course you’ve got to stay out of the bunkers, because you can’t get to the green,� Tiger Woods said. “That’s just a fact. If you hit the ball in there, it’s going to go up against the face, because it goes in there with some steam, and you’re pitching it out sideways or sometimes even backward.�

If it’s any solace, the pot bunkers at Lytham tend to be more visible off the tee than other Open courses like St. Andrews, where the drive requires a bit of blind faith.

TOOLS FOR SCHOOLS Help kindergarten to Grade 12 children in need by providing new school supplies and donations. On Friday, Tools for Schools is coming to town. A kickoff barbecue will be held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Collins Barrow parking lot at 4132 50th Ave. in Red Deer, across from the downtown Tim Hortons. People are encouraged to bring $5 or a school supply donation and with that donation, individuals will receive a hot dog or hamburger, chips and a drink.

The weather co-operated, the crowds came out, and the annual Westerner Days parade put on a show. On average, upwards of 33,000 come out to enjoy the fun, but judging from the crowded route this year, it looked like records might have been broken.

The downtown parade is the traditional kickoff for Westerner Days, after which the centre of the event’s universe moves to Westerner Park on the south side of the city.

Hope you enjoy our photo album as much as the crowds liked the parade itself, and we’ll see you at the fair!

Federal minister says scathing U.S. report won’t change mind on Northern Gateway

LOCAL

BRIEFS

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

Man arrested on charges A Central Alberta man wanted on numerous charges, including fraud, forgery and failing to attend court, made his first appearance in Red Deer provincial court on Wednesday after being arrested in B.C. Warrants were issued last fall for the arrest of Dathaniel “Nathan” Weir, 34, after he failed to show up for his trial on a variety of charges laid in Rimbey during 2009.

Now in custody at Red Deer Remand Centre, Weir faces additional charges of fraud over $5,000, forgery over $5,000 and uttering false documents in relation to events involving the Royal Bank of Canada in Red Deer in December 2009.

Police records tracing Weir’s activities indicate that he has lived at numerous addresses in Central Alberta since the initial charges were laid, including Sundre, Lacombe, Red Deer, Rimbey, Rocky Mountain House, Eckville, Clearwater County and Red Deer County, said Cpl. Kathe DeHeer, media liaison for the Red Deer City RCMP. He also has addresses in High River, and Merritt, B.C., said DeHeer.

Weir remains in custody pending his next court appearance, set for Aug. 1, when he is to enter pleas on the new charges and apply for release.

Stabbing accused wants to stay in jail

A scathing report out of the United States that criticized just about every aspect of Enbridge Inc.’s response to a pipeline spill in Michigan won’t change the Canadian government’s support for the company’s proposed Northern Gateway project, the federal environment minister said.

A report by U.S. investigators released last week concluded Enbridge (TSX:ENB) bungled its response when millions of litres of oil began to pour in and around the Kalamazoo River in July 2010, comparing the company’s handling of the spill to the “Keystone Kops.”

The report has provided fuel for critics of Enbridge’s proposed Northern Gateway project, which would carry crude oil along 1,170 kilometres of pipeline from Alberta to British Columbia’s coast.

Even B.C.’s premier has demanded answers.

But the report won’t change the opinion of the federal Conservative government, which has hailed the Northern Gateway pipeline

as important for the country, said Environment Minister Peter Kent.

“Pipelines are still, by far, the safest way to transport petrochemicals in any form,” Kent said in an interview Wednesday.

Kent said he had yet to read the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board report.

The board concluded Enbridge did not fix a defect on the pipeline when it was discovered five years earlier and control room staff responded poorly when Line 6B ruptured on July 25, 2010.

The environment minister argued there are important differences between the older pipeline involved in the Michigan spill and the newer technologies available for the Northern Gateway and other future projects.

“It is an older pipeline; it is a different set of geographic and technological realities from some of the new major projects being proposed,” he said.

“We’ve made it clear and (Natural Resources) Minister (Joe) Oliver has made it clear that these spills, large and small, in older pipelines do drive home and make

us even more aware of the needs for better practices, better technology, better supervision, better regulation and better inspection than in pipelines in the past.”

The Northern Gateway project is currently before the National Energy Board, which has been holding hearings throughout Alberta and British Columbia. The hearings are expected to wrap up early next year.

While the B.C. government has yet to publicly announce whether it supports the pipeline, the Alberta government and Ottawa have been very vocal supporters of the project.

Kent said the report won’t change his government’s opinion, but said Ottawa will listen to whatever the National Energy Board concludes.

“The panel hearings will continue and we will hear their recommendations at the end of the day,” said Kent.

The project has been controversial from its inception, garnering fierce opposition from First Nations groups and environmentalists.

A Red Deer man charged with stabbing another man during a fight in Red Deer early Tuesday morning asked the judge on Wednesday to lock him up and leave him in jail.

Ronald J. Alexander, 36, made his first appearance before Judge Jim Mitchell in Red Deer provincial court on Wednesday morning via closed-circuit TV from the Red Deer Remand Centre.

Alexander was arrested and charged with aggravated assault after a fight in Rotary Park between midnight and 12:30 a.m. on Tuesday.

RCMP were sent to the scene after being notified

by Emergency Services that a man had been stabbed.

The 36-year-old victim had already been taken to Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre with life-threatening injuries when police arrived at the scene.

He was still in treatment on Wednesday, said Cpl. Kathe DeHeer, media liaison officer for Red Deer City RCMP. Alexander appeared nervous and disoriented during his court appearance on Wednesday morning, shuffling back and forth as he addressed the judge.

“I don’t need no lawyer. Just lock me up. Just lock me up, sir. Don’t worry about me,” he said.

Mitchell denied the request, advising Alexander to seek legal assistance and then wait until his next court appearance to enter a plea.

He returns to court on July 25 to apply for bail and enter a plea.

Case of infant death adjourned Court proceedings involving a Red Deer man accused of killing his infant daughter were adjourned for three weeks in Red Deer provincial court on Wednesday.

Julian Thomson, 21, is charged with second-degree murder in relation to the death of four-monthold Zaria McCall. Red Deer City RCMP allege that a family member brought the baby to Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre with head injuries at about 6:30 p.m. on Dec. 2, 2011.

The child was airlifted from there to the Stollery Children’s Hospital in Edmonton, where she died the next day.

Thomson, who remains in custody, appeared on Wednesday morning with his lawyer, Patty MacNaughton, who had sought a second psychiatric evaluation of her client’s mental state.

MacNaughton asked for the second evaluation in an earlier court appearance, stating that the wrong tests had been performed.

A preliminary hearing was tentatively set for Nov. 15 but may not proceed on that day, depending on the results from the second evaluation.

MacNaughton and her client are to return to court on Aug. 7 to determine how the case will proceed.

Former Stampeder Joffrey Reynolds appears on immigration matter THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — An immigration adjudicator has ruled that a former star player with the CFL Calgary Stampeders can be released from custody.

The adjudicator said Joffrey Reynolds does not pose a flight risk, but must abide by certain terms and conditions.

He has to give a permanent address and must advise immigration officials within 48 hours if he moves. He must also report to authorities so they can keep tabs on him.

Reynolds told the adjudicator at a hearing Wednesday that Calgary offers him a greater opportunity to be productive.

He was arrested Saturday in an alleged break-and-enter and domestic assault against a former girlfriend.

It was then learned that his Canadian work permit had expired. He was shackled and handcuffed when he arrived for an initial meeting on the immigration matter on Monday. He is expected back in provincial court on the criminal charges July 26.

Reynolds played eight years for the Stampeders and was the team’s alltime leading rusher with 9,213 rushing yards. He’s a four-time CFL all-star and was a key player in Calgary’s 2008 Grey Cup win.

He was released from the club last year but wasn’t picked up by any other team.

AGRIUM Q2 PROFITS HIGHER THAN EXPECTED CALGARY — Agrium Inc. says its second-quarter earnings will be even better than the bullish estimate provided last month and will likely set a new record for the Calgary-based fertilizer and farm-supply company.

Agrium’s shares (TSX:AGU) have traded near 52-week highs since it announced on June 11 that the company’s second-quarter profit would be near the high end of its estimate, which was $4.18 to $4.78 per diluted share.

The company now estimates earnings for the three-month period will be in a range of US$5.40 to US$5.50 per diluted share — about 15 per cent above its previous guidance, Agrium announced before markets opened . That’s more than $1 per share higher than analyst estimates compiled by Thomson Reuters before Agrium made its revision.

Agrium stock moved up $2.96 to $96.87 shortly after markets opened Wednesday — the highest since the summer of 2008 when commodity prices were setting pre-recession record highs.

TRAVEL TO AND FROM CANADA DOWN OVERALL OTTAWA — Statistics Canada says fewer people travelled to and from Canada in May compared to travel in April.

Canadian residents made 5.3 million trips abroad that month, mostly to the U.S. , but that’s 1.7 per cent fewer trips than in April. Meanwhile, travel to Canada fell overall by 0.6 per cent in May to 2.1 million trips, though same-day car travel by U.S. residents to Canada increased. Residents of most other countries took fewer trips to Canada, except residents of China.

They made 24,000 trips, a 3.4 per cent increase.

Statistics Canada reports that China has grown so strongly that it has overtaken Australia as the fourth-largest overseas market for Canada behind the United Kingdom, France and Germany.

Canada a victim of global problems WITH FEW GROWTH ENGINES, BANK OF CANADA SEES FOUR STRAIGHT WEAK QUARTERS

BY JULIAN BELTRAME THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Canada’s economy is struggling amid mounting difficulties from abroad that have weakened commodity prices and from some home-grown problems, the Bank of Canada said Wednesday.

The central bank’s latest monetary policy overview of global and domestic conditions makes clear Canada is a victim of global problems, but adds some of the country’s internal strengths are running out of steam.

In raw numbers, the bank expects economic growth will slow to 2.1 per cent this year from 2.4 per cent in 2011, and only advance by a still moderate 2.3 per cent and 2.5 per cent in 2013 and 2014.

A continuing source of weakness is still increasing household debt, which will temper consumption, and soft export performance, which is being hurt by slowing growth in the U.S., emerging markets and Europe.

As well, world oil prices are off by about

15 per cent since April, making Canadians a little poorer, the bank said.

Cheaper oil has given car owners a break at the gas pump, bank governor Mark Carney conceded at a news conference following release of the policy document, but the overall impact on the economy is negative.

“It’s one of the reasons why we’ve taken down our forecast for Canada,” he said. “It impacts investment, it impacts government revenues, it impacts incomes, it impacts linkages across the economy.

“I wouldn’t overplay that,” he added. “(Commodity prices are) still elevated relative to historic levels, (and) there are still major projects that are going to continue and we still have an economy that is growing around its potential, so let’s not get all doom and gloom here.”

Carney’s new take on the economy is more pessimistic than his earlier rosy outlook of April, when he foresaw 2.4 per cent growth for this year and next.

Starting with the first three months of this year — which are now known — the central bank has had to lower the projec-

tion on growth for five consecutive quarters, ending in the spring of 2013.

The first quarter of this year came in six-tenths below the bank’s previous call at 1.9, and the yet to be reported second, which ended in June, is now expected to be slightly weaker at 1.8, seven-tenths of a point slower than it thought. The subsequent three quarters will also produce modest results of 2.0, 2.3 and 2.3, the bank says.

That’s still too rosy for many private sector analysts, who responded to the report with unusual contrariness, quibbling with the bank over the strength of growth, domestic spending and the housing sector. All will be weaker than the bank assumes, said several analysts.

“It’s entirely possible that the (bank’s) pushed-out optimistic bias comes true after having been disappointed with this forecast approach over (the first half of) 2012... but I’m skeptical,” said Derek Holt, Scotia’s vice president of economics, in a note.

LIBOR

Carney eyes system reform

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Mark Carney says he intends to use his position as head of the international Financial Stability Board to take up the issue of reforming the scandal-plagued interbank lending system at the earliest opportunity.

The Canadian central banker said Wednesday he’s already exchanged views with his counterparts in the world’s leading economies and plans to discuss possible reforms in September, when FSB officials next meet.

Carney said he and U.S. counterpart Ben Bernanke agree that LIBOR, the London interbank offered rate — which sets terms under which banks lend each other funds and influences other interest rates — is structurally flawed.

“The facts that have emerged around the LIBOR situation are deeply troubling,” he told reporters in Ottawa in his first public comments since the scandal over rate-rigging broke this spring.

“It’s not just a structure of the index, which Chairman Bernanke rightly described yesterday as structurally flawed, but it’s active, conscious, repeated manipulation of that index,” he added.

“My personal view is that the public authorities have to play a leading role in determining what next with LIBOR and if not LIBOR, what else, because there has to be absolute confidence in this.”

LIBOR has been discredited recently by evidence that some of the banks that set the benchmark have provided false information in order to support their positions as far back as 2008.

British bank Barclays shocked the financial world this spring when it agreed to pay a US$453 million fine for its part in the scandal.

But other banks are being implicated and investigations are proceeding in the United Kingdom, the U.S. and even Canada, where the Competition Bureau is using whistleblower information to try and pry documents from five branches of foreignowned banks.

Carney said the Bank of Canada has provided “technical assistance” to the Canadian competition watchdog, but is not involved in the enforcement aspect of the issue.

It is not clear what can be done to fix the problem, or whether the LIBOR benchmark system can be saved, he said.

One criticism of LIBOR is that the benchmark is set from an average of a survey of banks’ estimates about what rates they would have to pay for funds, rather than on the actual costs.

Workers pull graded lumber off a conveyor belt at a mill in Richmond, B.C., on Monday, August 21, 2006. Canada is declaring victory in a dispute with the United States over softwood lumber exports from British Columbia.

Canada declares victory in softwood lumber battle with U.S.

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Even as Canada declares victory in a major softwood lumber dispute with the United States, the organization representing British Columbia’s forest industry doesn’t expect the persistent American lumber lobby to reduce its competitive tactics.

An international tribunal convened under the 2006 softwood lumber agreement ruled Wednesday that Canada did not circumvent the deal by shipping large quantities of pine beetle-infested lumber south of the border.

The United States government argued that B.C. mills had an unfair advantage in softwood sales because they’ve been selling logs made from the destroyed trees at lower prices.

The three-member panel at the London Court of International Arbitration ruled in favour of Canada, though the details of the ruling will remain confidential for 10 days.

If Canada lost the arbitration, financial penalties could have totalled as high as $380 million.

“When you dodge that bullet, you obviously feel pretty good,” said John Allan, president of the B.C. Lumber Trade Council, which represents 85 per cent of the province’s lumber producers.

But he said he doesn’t expect the unanimous ruling, which cannot be appealed, to persuade the U.S. forestry lobby to stop complaining.

“I know their oversight over what we do in Canada will not go away, it will never go away,” Allan said in an interview, noting the industry south of the border have been making similar complaints since the early 1980s.

“They never back down. It doesn’t pay them to back down.”

Provincial and federal politicians were lauding the decision as a triumph for the roughly 53,000 people who work in B.C.’s wood products industry.

“The fact that this is behind us, it’s clearly demonstrated that B.C. has been vindicated,” the province’s jobs minister, Pat Bell, told reporters in Vancouver.

“We’re operating under the rules provided under the softwood lumber agreement. I think (that) will give people the confidence to know that there’s a long-term future in the industry.”

Bell declared the ruling “total victory,” describing the U.S. claims as “frivolous” while suggesting it means brighter days are ahead for the industry.

New developments hit market in Sylvan Lake

BY HARLEY RICHARDS ADVOCATE BUSINESS EDITOR Prospective home buyers with an eye to lake life have a growing number of options at Sylvan Lake.

Palm Cove Estates and Marina, and The Slopes of Sylvan Lake, are the latest developments to hit the market, with both now pre-selling lots. Other projects are moving through the approval process, and a couple have been offering lakefront property for years but are now experiencing renewed interest.

Palm Cove, which is located on the northern tip of the lake, will consist of 60 serviced lots in its first two phases. Thirty are available now, with these about a half acre in size and ranging in price from $289,900 to $549,900.

Amenities will include picnic shelters, a playground area and a beach building with washroom and change facilities. A marina with privately-owned slips is also in the plans, said Kirsten Warwick, sales and marketing manager for developer Qualico Communities of Edmonton.

The company has been pre-selling for

about two weeks, she said, with interest strong.

“The intent is to start construction next year,” said Warwick of the anticipated timelines.

Lots should be ready for building by the fall of 2013.

Qualico has more land earmarked for residential development, but this is set back further from the lake.

Belterra Land Company Ltd. has been marketing lots in The Slopes of Sylvan Lake for about a month, said company president Chris Artibello. It’s focused on builders, he said, but private buyers are now also being accommodated.

Situated behind the Summer Village of Birchcliff on the northeast side of the lake, The Slopes will consist of 49 lots. These will range from 0.15-acre bungalow villa lots to 0.75 estate lots, with prices running from $237,800 to $509,500.

Although none of its lots are on the lake, The Slopes’ topography — which consists of about a 15 per cent grade at its highest point — should appeal to buyers, said Artibello.

“It’s more about the views of the watershed and lake than it is the lake itself.”

Other features will include community trails, central ponds and recreational facilities, he said. And The Slopes will boast fire hydrants and be serviced through the new regional system, said Artibello.

He hopes grading and excavation work can begin by September, with services installed next spring and home construction underway by late summer.

At the northwest end of the lake is the Shores on Sylvan, with 53 lots. Most are 0.75 acres, with 14 on the water.

Meredith DeGroat, whose husband Richard is developing the property, said they aren’t actively selling yet but are compiling a list of interested people. Prices will run from $229,000 to $575,000 for the serviced lots.

She said the timelines for subdivision and sale are unknown at this point.

“The roads are all in, the walking trails are all in, the park benches are all in.”

DeGroat said the subdivision is notable for its lake views, and there appears to be plenty of interest.

“We have had a lot of people contact us.”

MARKETS CLOSE TORONTO — The Toronto stock market closed little changed Wednesday, supported by rising oil and copper prices amid further evidence of a slow housing recovery and strong corporate earnings in the U.S. But the market was held back by sliding gold stocks as bullion fell for a third session.

The S&P/TSX composite index inched up 7.96 points to

11,579.15 while traders took in major dealmaking.

Canada’s fourth-largest cable company has a deal to acquire a U.S. system operator for US$1.36 billion. Montreal-based Cogeco Cable Inc. (TSX:CCA) says it has a definitive agreement to buy Atlantic Broadband, a private company that operates in five states. The deal will be Cogeco’s entry into the United States. Cogeco stock slid $6.60

or 14.83 per cent to $37.90.

The Canadian dollar was up 0.18 of a cent at 98.94 cents US. The TSX Venture Exchange added 5.59 points to 1,182.34.

U.S. markets turned higher as American builders last month broke ground on the most new homes and apartments in nearly four years.

ECONOMY: Assumptions overly optimistic David Madani of Capital Economics also called the bank’s assumptions overly optimistic, noting he sees a dampening housing sector as recent indicators suggest. Both prices and sales have dropped, in some cases sharply in recent weeks, including in hot markets like Vancouver and Toronto.

“We expect the bank to drop its interest rate tightening bias and move completely to the sidelines before year-end,” Madani said.

Also on Wednesday, the Conference Board of Canada lowered its expectations for Canadian economic growth to 2.2 per cent in 2012 and 2.4 per cent in 2013.

It had previously projected GDP growth of 2.3 per cent this year and 2.8 per cent next year.

Responding to a question about continuing to lean toward hiking interest rates, while around the world central banks are easing further, Carney said he makes decisions based on Canadian conditions, not those in other economies.

“We’re in a situation where there’s a very small amount of excess capacity in this economy,” he said.

“Rates are at one per cent, they’re very low.”

Deputy Liberal leader Ralph Goodale said the bank report should be a wake-up call to the Harper government. He called for more incentives for hiring students and youth, better access to post-secondary education and skills-training, a stronger commitment to support basic research and simplification of Canada’s tax code.

“If Mr. Harper does not pull his head out of the sand, Canada’s mediocre economic performance, a nationwide skills and training shortage, and rising household debt could spell serious trouble for hardpressed middle-class families,” he said.

Carney sees the performance of the export sector, which accounts for about one third of gross domestic product, as a major disappointment holding back the recovery.

Canada’s global market share of goods exports has actually declined in recent years, from a peak of 4.5 per cent in 2000 to 2.7 per cent in 2010, the bank noted, and exports overall have yet to recover to the pre-recession level.

The sector is facing pressures from the strong dollar, which hurts manufacturers in central Canada most, and low productivity. But the biggest drawback is that exporters continue to focus on the United States and other slow-growing nations, and not enough on fast-growing emerging markets like China.

“So it’s the structure of where our export markets are,” he explained. “One of the messages the bank is trying to get across is one can expect those economies to be relatively low-growth for some time.”

Carney said government stimulus and household consumption backed by low interest rates had sus-

May to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 760,000, which beat expectations of 743,000. At the same time, the number of permits to build homes, a sign of future construction, fell 3.7 per cent to 755,000. But that’s down from May’s three-and-a-half-year high.

The Dow Jones industrial average jumped 103.16 points to 12,908.7.

The Nasdaq composite index was ahead 32.56 points to 2,942.6 and the S&P 500 index was up 9.11 points to 1,372.78.

Shares in Intel shook off early weakness to move up 83 cents to $26.21 following an announcement Tuesday after the close that the weak global economy is slowing its growth, and revenue for the current quarter is likely to come in below forecasts.

Intel’s second-quarter net income was US$2.83 billion, or 54 cents per share, down 4.3 per cent from a year earlier, as operating expenses rose faster than revenue. Net income beat forecasts by two cents.

Honeywell International, a big technology and manufacturing company, reported an 11 per cent increase in second-quarter income Wednesday, more than Wall Street was expecting, thanks to higher demand for its products. Honeywell also raised its forecast for full-year profits.

Honeywell’s stock jumped $3.64 to US$58.18.

After the close, there was further good news from IBM. The tech bellwether turned in earnings per share of US$3.51, beating analyst estimates by nine cents a share. Its stock moved up 0.75 per cent in after-hours trading.

Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve’s latest take on growth said the U.S. economy grew at a “modest to moderate” pace over the last month and a half as more districts are reporting slowing growth.

However, the so-called Beige Book, which covered the economy between June and early July, said three regions, up from one in the last survey, reported slowing growth. The slowdown

tained the recovery so far, but there are limits to that approach.

“We’re seeing the limits on the household debt side which is why various measures are being taken,” he said, referring to tighter mortgage and lending rules.

The bank does not forecast employment, but the macro growth numbers suggest that job creation will be modest the rest of 2012.

Looking at the economy by sectors, the bank says business investment and consumer spending, supported by super-low interest rates, remain the chief support systems for the recovery.

SYLVAN: Phone ringing off the hook Homes have already been built on two other lakefront developments: The Properties of Eagles Quay and Westside Country Estates.

Eagles Quay is at the northeast corner of Sylvan Lake and currently consists of 15 lots measuring 0.75 acres each. Six are already spoken for, with two homes in place, said owner Frank Layton.

A lifelong part-time resident of Sylvan Lake, the Edmonton lawyer has spent years developing Eagles Quay, with two permanent staircases extending down to the water, a pier system where owners can moor their boats and a three-acre recreational area away from the lake. There are also paved roads, trails and picnic tables, with all services in place.

Layton said he wanted to develop the 30-acre parcel “first class.”

“My intention is to make that sort of the Hamptons — like New York — of Sylvan Lake.”

Pricing is based on a recent appraisal of the lots, with the five remaining properties on the lake listed at $1.2 million and the four others at $750,000. Layton said he’s in no hurry to sell, with waterfront land at Sylvan Lake sure to appreciate.

But he has noticed a spike in interest recently.

“My phone has been ringing off the hook.”

Jim Jardine of Trilliant Real Estate Group, the listing agent for Westside Country Estates, tells a similar story. He’s seen a flurry of activity at the 12lot development not far from Eagles Quay.

“We’ve had a quiet few years because the mar-

appeared to be concentrated in the East Coast and Mid-Atlantic regions, as the New York, Philadelphia and Cleveland districts saw slowing growth.

Fed chairman Ben Bernanke earlier Wednesday told a congressional panel that despite slowing economic conditions, he does not expect the U.S. to fall into recession.

Investors also watched Bernanke’s comments to see if the central bank may be close to launching another round of bond purchases. But some analysts questioned whether another round of stimulus is what is needed for the economic recovery.

“Governments around the world, namely the U.S., have to get themselves off of this addiction that the Fed will come in and rescue the day,” said Chris Kuflik, wealth adviser at ScotiaMcLeod in Montreal.

“I was actually kind of happy that he didn’t (unveil new stimulus measures Tuesday). Because to me, that means that things are not quite as bad as they seem.”

The base metals group led TSX advancers, up 1.33 per cent as copper prices gained two cents to US$3.47 a pound.

Ivanhoe Mines (TSX:IVN) improved by 56 cents to C$8.84 while Thompson Creek Metals (TSX:TCM) edged up seven cents to $2.63.

Intel’s better-than-expected earnings helped push the Canadian tech sector 0.6 per cent higher as CGI Group (TSX:GIB.A) climbed 33 cents to $23.99, while Open Text (TSX:OTC) climbed 70 cents to $48.16.

The consumer staples sector was up 0.68 per cent as convenience store chain Alimentation Couche Tard (TSX:ATD.B) gained 45 cents to $48.37.

Couche-Tard Inc. says it has a deal to acquire 27 locations in the State of Washington through its Circle K division. The price of the acquisition is being kept confidential.

The TSX energy sector rose 0.3 per cent as the August crude

contract on the New York Mercantile Exchange gained 65 cents to a seven-week high of US$89.87 a barrel. Canadian Natural Resources (TSX:CNQ) climbed 76 cents to C$28.07.

Financials were also positive as Scotiabank (TSX:BNS) rose 24 cents to $52.29.

The gold sector was the weakest component, down 1.77 per cent as gold faded $18.70 to US$1,570.80 an ounce. Goldcorp Inc. (TSX:G) gave back $1.24 to C$32.86 and Barrick Gold Corp. (TSX:ABX) shed 42 cents to $34.66.

Elsewhere on the earnings front, fertilizer company Agrium Inc. (TSX:AGU) said that it is expecting record earnings for the second quarter. The Calgarybased firm said earnings will be in the range of $5.40 to $5.50 diluted earnings per share while first half earnings will come in at a range of $6.72 to $6.82 per share. Agrium said the revised estimates are about 15 per cent higher than previously announced. Its stock moved up $2.78 to $96.69.

ket’s going down and everyone wants to see where its going to bottom out. Then once it bottoms out, they jump in — I think that’s what’s happening now.”

After selling one of his 0.75-acre, lakefront lots for $450,000, Westside Country Estates developer Frank Wilson lowered the price to $399,900 in response to the soft market — with little effect. But that changed recently, with three properties now sold and Jardine dealing on four others.

“As soon as we have six confirmed sales we’re going to up the price,” said Jardine.

The fully serviced lots are connected with a paved roadway.

Other Sylvan Lake developments that have come to Lacombe County include Highland Park, Westend Landing and property owned by Marjorie Boehm, with rezoning and preliminary subdivision approval granted for all.

Dale Freitag, the county’s manager of planning services, said it’s common for pre-sales to occur before final subdivision approval is sought.

“A lot of them try to see where the pre-sales are at, and then they’ll start putting the shovel in the ground.” hrichards@reddeeradvocate.com

LUMBER: Ruling welcomed Ed Fast, the federal minister of international trade, also welcomed the ruling.

“This positive outcome is the result of our close collaboration with provincial and industry partners and proof that the (softwood lumber agreement) is good for Canada’s forestry sector,” he said in Ottawa.

The United States launched the complaint in January 2011, arguing B.C. was unfairly subsidizing wood damaged by the mountain pine beetle, which has been chewing out the guts of forests for years. Pine beetle is a problem in areas across the province, but the B.C. Lumber Trade Council said Wednesday’s decision focuses on wood in the province’s Interior.

Industry observers said the dispute was the most serious to date under the softwood lumber agreement, because it struck at the core of forestry policy and timber pricing.

The U.S. Lumber Coalition expressed bitter disappointment in Wednesday’s ruling.

“While the coalition vehemently disagrees with the (court) panel conclusion, we respect and appreciate the efforts of this panel and the U.S. government to grapple with the complex issues involved in this case,” said coalition chairman Steve Swanson, who also runs the family-owned Swanson Group in Oregon.

TATTOOS REPLACING MEDICAL-ALERT BRACELETS FOR THOSE WITH DIABETES, OTHER AILMENTS

42991G19

NAPLES, Fla. — The first time Jimbo Carriero died, it lasted only a few minutes.

“I didn’t see the white lights everyone talks about, but I sure got an overwhelming feeling of total bliss,” Carriero said of complications following a stent procedure after a heart attack in September 2008.

“It was beautiful, just a beautiful feeling, like all my bills had been paid.” So the next time, he wants to stay there.

The 52-year-old owner of Body Branding Tattoo Emporium in Naples had “Do Not Resuscitate” tattooed on his chest a year later. He is among a growing number of people who want a more permanent medical alert.

The Canadian Medical Association Journal reported in May that medical tattooing appears to be increasing, partly because the often-pricey medical alert bracelets can be lost or broken, some people prefer tattoos, and others can’t wear jewelry at work.

The journal detailed tattoos for diabetes, blood types and end-of-life wishes.

Like Carriero, Spencer Cootware nearly died.

After a day of fishing on Dec. 29, the 50-year-old Naples bail bondsman felt the worst pain he’d ever experienced, “like an alien crawling out of my back.”

Clutching his cellphone, he dialed 911 and shouted for help as he fell to the floor at home.

He’d suffered a ruptured aorta. After that, he bought a medical alert card for his wallet and a bracelet and dog tag with his medical information stored on a USB device.

“I don’t want them to do unnecessary surgery,” Cootware said of emergency medical technicians and doctors, adding that it was corrected with medication.

Last week, he took a more permanent step: A medical tattoo on his right wrist with the words “Medical Alert: Type B Thoracic Aortic Aneurism.”

“If I’m incapacitated and can’t talk, they would do a screen of my body and see the aneurysm and think it just happened,” he said of his fear.

This spring, Pennsylvania-based Hope Paige, which makes medical ID bracelets, began offering a free temporary “in case of emergency” tattoo with a bracelet purchase to let people “get their feet wet before making the leap to permanent tattoo.” The Photo by SCRIPPS HOWARD NEWS SERVICE increase in demand for the new method of alerts is Owner Jimbo Carriero shows his tattoo ‘Do Not Resuscitate,’ at the Body Branding Tattoo shop. seen on the Internet.

“There have to be more standards if medical tattoos become a more common practice,” said Dr. Saleh Aldasouqi, a Michigan State University endocrinologist who began studying the issue four years ago and writing about it in medical journals.

“With a tattoo, would you see it?” he asked during a telephone interview. “You really have to be focused on saving a life. We want to make the job of emergency personnel easier. Seconds and minutes count when saving a life.”

A medical tattoo could help if someone lost a medical alert bracelet or necklace during a car crash, he said, adding, “If someone has a tattoo, we would say check that person’s blood sugar immediately. It could be a lifesaving intervention, to give them blood sugar through an IV.” Although Aldasou1i doesn’t advocate tattoos, he leans more toward those that could be lifesaving, alerting medics to diabetes, hemophilia or rare blood types.

“The medical alert purposes are valid and make sense to me, but the issue got a little clouded by folks who decided to put DNR on their chests,” he said of end-of-life directives.

With a Do Not Resuscitate tattoo, Aldasouqi said, doctors and EMTs would still begin resuscitation while others searched for a legal, medical directive as confirmation.

CANADIAN COUNTRY MUSIC ASSOCIATION AWARDS

star band award nomination for special instrument.

“I think now his mandolin solos are going to be twice as long in every show, just to try and get extra votes,” said frontman Brad Rempel with a laugh.

The trio has been nominated several times in the past — including for the rising star award last year — but has yet to win.

While the brothers aren’t counting on anything, they agree it sure would be nice to claim that first award.

“My knees would probably shake a bit all the way to the podium,” Curtis said.

Added Brad: “It would mean we’d have to have a speech written up. Now, when we don’t have a speech, it never gets exposed that we didn’t have (one).

“If we win, it’ll be fully exposed.”

Berry’s Los Angeles publicist Meredith O’Sullivan said the 45-year-old actress suffered the injury Tuesday night on the set of her upcoming movie The Hive.

Berry was taken to a hospital as a precaution and released a short time later.

O’Sullivan said the Oscar-winning actress will continue work on the film.

TORONTO — Country singer Gord Bamford already has more than a half-dozen Canadian Country Music Association Awards crowding his living-room mantel back home in Alberta.

And after nabbing an additional six nominations at this year’s CCMA awards, he started to think about renovating.

“Hopefully, we’ll have to build another mantel,” the 36-year-old joked after the nominees were announced at a press conference in Toronto on Wednesday.

Well, just think how Johnny Reid feels.

Yes, the Scottish-born, Toronto-bred crooner cleaned up again with a leading eight nominations while last year’s big winner, Dean Brody of Jaffray, B.C., was next with seven.

All three will compete for the fans’ choice award, single of the year, songwriter of the year and male artist of the year. Year after year, they duke it out at the CCMAs — but you won’t find any of the mannered country gentlemen engaging even in light-hearted trash talk.

“No, I know, maybe it’s different in rock ’n’ roll,” Brody said with a laugh Wednesday.

“I’m really starting to get to know these guys.

They’re good guys. They’re talented and fun to be around, too.”

Reid and Brody are also in the running for album of the year, where they’ll compete against Manitoba group Doc Walker’s 16 & 1, Paul Brandt’s Give it Away and Terry Clark’s Juno-winning record Roots and Wings.

Bamford was the big winner in 2010, while Reid and Brody split the spoils last year with Reid winning male artist of the year and the fans’ choice award while the Nova Scotia-based Brody took album and single of the year.

But the low-key Brody still doesn’t think of himself as a front-runner.

“Man, it still blows my mind because everybody I’m in the category with . . . I have huge respect for,” said Brody, who was so ensconced in home renovations he forgot CCMA nominations were being handed down Wednesday.

“I guess I feel like I’m becoming part of the family, yet I’m still a rookie.”

After those heavy hitters, Jason Blaine of Pembroke, Ont., is nominated for four trophies including single and songwriter of the year while Clark, the Stellas and Hey Romeo are up for three apiece.

The awards will be handed out Sept. 9 at Saskatoon’s Credit Union Centre, where the marquee performers will include fiery Texan Miranda Lambert, George Canyon, Deric Ruttan and top nominees Reid, Bamford, Brody and Clark.

While those homebred country stars are used to competing annually at the CCMAs, several up-andcoming artists have also found themselves in major categories this year.

Married duo the Stellas of Whitby, Ont., took nominations for group or duo of the year, rising star and video of the year less than 12 months after issuing their self-titled debut, while 28-year-old Chad Brownlee of Kelowna, B.C., earned a nod for male artist of the year after winning the rising star trophy at last year’s bash.

“It’s definitely a feather in the cap,” Brownlee said after performing at the press conference.

Alberta sibling trio High Valley also felt fortunate after landing a nomination for group or duo of the year, even if the brothers were more interested in teasing mandolin player Curtis Rempel for his all-

You also can get some therapy on your own and develop some coping strategies.

Dear Annie: I’ve been dating “Don” for eight months. When I met him, I didn’t realize he had been seeing a woman for two years. Apparently, they had an understanding that if someone else came along, it would be OK to break up because they live three hours apart. They still communicate on Facebook.

This girlfriend’s family owns some property that is pretty much in Don’s backyard. She stays at a cabin on the property a few times a year. It makes me really uncomfortable. But when I

talk to Don about her, he says, “You have nothing to worry about.” But there have been a few nights when he’s called her name in his sleep. He also once told me that if he wanted her back, all he had to do was call her.

Don wants me to move in with him, but I can’t. His relationship with the other woman eats at me all the time.

What do I do? — On the Rebound Dear Rebound: You don’t completely trust Don, partly because he has given you the impression that this woman is always available to him. Trust is the bedrock of any relationship. If it doesn’t exist with Don, there won’t be a happy future for the two of you, and you should move on.

LONDON — Three British Muslims — including a convert who was featured in a documentary about radical Islam and a former London police support officer — have been charged with travelling to Pakistan for terror training, police said early Thursday.

Scotland Yard said in a statement that Richard Dart, 29, Imran Mahmood, 21, and Jahangir Alom, 26, had travelled to Pakistan between 2010 and 2012 “with the intention of committing acts of terrorism or assisting another to commit such acts.”

The statement also alleges that the three provided others with advice and counselling about how to travel to Pakistan, find training, and how to stay safe while there.

A fourth person, 22-year-old Ruksana Begum, was charged with having material likely to be of use for terrorism.

All four had been arrested earlier this month, and at least two of the accused had previously come to public attention.

Dart was featured in a recent BBC documentary, “My Brother the Islamist,” which chronicled the efforts of his filmmaker stepbrother Robb Leech to understand why the former had rejected his family and embraced

an uncompromising form of Islam.

He was also featured in a YouTube video in which he criticized the British royal family, the marriage of Prince William to the then-Kate Middleton, and U.K. foreign policy.

Alom — a former police support officer who was arrested in an armed raid at his home — also made a YouTube appearance in which he described his time as an officer and expounded on his hardline beliefs.

Scotland Yard did not immediately release much information on Mahmood, whose address was given as Northolt in northwest London.

Hungarians charge 97-year-old Congress former Canadian with war crimes to honour

Myanmar opposition leader

BYTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS BUDAPEST, Hungary — A 97-year-old former Canadian citizen suspected of helping deport thousands of Jews during the Holocaust was taken into custody in the Hungarian capital Wednesday and charged with war crimes, prosecutors said.

The case of Laszlo Csatary was brought to the attention of Hungarian authorities last year by the Simon Wiesenthal Center, a Jewish organization active in hunting down Nazis who have yet to be brought to justice.

In April, Csatary topped the organization’s list of mostwanted Nazi war criminals.

Prosecutors decided to charge Csatary with the “unlawful torture of human beings,” a war crime that carries a maximum sentence of life in prison.

Csatary’s lawyer, Gabor Horvath B., said his client has been confined to house arrest for up to 30 days due to prosecutors’ fears he might try to flee.

Horvath B. said he had appealed the ruling, which also opened the way for authorities to confiscate Csatary’s passport.

As he left a Budapest courthouse Wednesday afternoon following the house arrest hearing, Csatary walked slowly down a flight of steps, trying to shield his face from view and leaning on a companion for support.

Tibor Ibolya, Budapest’s acting chief prosecutor, said Csatary recounted his Holocaust-era activities to authorities during questioning, saying he was following orders and carrying out his duty.

“The suspect denied having committed the crimes,” Ibolya said, adding that during his testimony Csatary’s “attitude toward some of his fellow men of a certain religion ... is not what we would consider normal.”

According to a summary of the case released by prosecutors, Csatary was a police officer in the Slovakian city of Kosice, at a time part of Hungary.

In May 1944, Csatary was named chief of an internment camp at a Kosice brick factory that served as a departure point for about 12,000 Jews bound for Auschwitz and other Nazi death camps.

Authorities said Csatary was present when the trains were loaded and sent on their way.

Csatary “regularly” used a dog whip against the Jewish detainees “without any spe-

As one train departed with some 80 Jews crammed into one railcar, Csatary refused a request by one of the Jews to cut holes in the walls of the wagon to let more air in, the statement said.

Csatary was convicted in absentia for war crimes in Czechoslovakia in 1948 and sentenced to death.

He arrived in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia the following year, became a Canadian citizen in 1955 and worked as an art dealer in Montreal.

In October 1997, Canadian authorities said the 82-yearold had left the country voluntarily to avoid deportation.

His citizenship had been revoked in August on the grounds that he had lied about his past when he first

immigrated to Canada.

Citizenship and Immigration Canada said in a statement that Csatary “had provided false information about his nationality, and had failed to provide information concerning his collaboration with Nazi occupation forces while serving with the Royal Hungarian Police and, while in this service, his participation in the internment and deportation to concentration camps of thousands of Hungarian Jews.”

Ibolya said the investigation was continuing, adding prosecutors were waiting for information from Israeli and Canadian authorities as well as potential testimony from Holocaust survivors.

“I expect this case to continue for months, even taking into account that we are treating it as one that we would like to conclude as soon as possible,” Ibolya said.

New inquiry started into mysterious 1961 death of UN’s Dag Hammarskjold

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON — A group of international jurists has been commissioned to reinvestigate the 1961 death of U.N. Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold, one of the Cold War’s most enduring mysteries.

A statement released Wednesday by a committee of former officials and academics said the team would reexamine the case with an eye toward trying to getting an answer to the question of what happened to Hammarskjold, whose death cut short the career of a man many consider the U.N.’s most effective leader.

British lawmaker and former trade unionist David Lea, the committee’s chair, said in a statement that “the whole truth, in significant respects, has yet to be told.”

Hammarskjold’s plane went down over the thick forests of Northern Rhodesia, now known as Zambia, on the night of Sept. 17, 1961. Hammarskjold was one of 15 people to die as a result of the crash.

Hammarskjold had been in the midst of negotiating an agreement to end the deadly fighting between the government of Congo and its independence-minded, mineral-rich province of Katanga — a deadly struggle shot through with post-colonial intrigue and Cold War rivalries. Three investigations failed to determine the cause of the crash, leaving his fate clouded by conspiracy theory. Some claim the Ameri-

cans had Hammarskjold killed. Others believe that mercenaries backed by Western business interests were responsible. Other theories pointed the finger at the Soviets, who accused Hammarskjold of complicity in the execution of Moscow-backed Congolese independence leader Patrice Lumumba. A more recent, less sinister hypothesis blamed pilot fatigue.

Lea — who was joined on the committee by Henning Melber, the executive director of the Dag Hammarskjold Foundation, and Nigeria’s Emeka Anyaoku, the former Commonwealth secretary-general — said that more evidence was still spilling into the public domain. In particular, he cited the 2011 book, “Who Killed Hammarskjold?” by fellow committee member Susan Williams, whose work alleges that the U.N. leader’s death was deliberate and that damning evidence was covered up.

The new inquiry has no official standing but includes several high-profile jurists, including South African Justice Richard Goldstone, who led the U.N. fact-finding mission on the conflict in the Gaza Strip. The remaining members are retired British Lord Justice Stephen Sedley, former Swedish diplomat Hans Correll, and Wilhelmina Thomassen, a Dutch Supreme Court judge.

The inquiry hopes to complete its report within a year.

WASHINGTON — Congress will present Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi its highest civilian honour, the Congressional Gold Medal.

Officials said the ceremony is scheduled to take place Sept. 19 during Suu Kyi’s visit to the United States.

Suu Kyi is a Nobel Peace laureate and former political prisoner who was unable to leave her home country for more than two decades.

The opposition parliament leader recently was greeted enthusiastically during trips to Thailand and Europe.

In addition to the congressional award, Suu Kyi will be presented with the Atlantic Council’s Global Citizen Award on Sept.

21 in New York.

The State Department said Suu Kyi would be invited for meetings with U.S. government officials during her visit.

Suu Kyi, elected in April, will be feted for her long struggle against military rule in her homeland and for championing democracy.

She is revered by Republicans and Democrats, has been a guiding force in U.S. policy toward Myanmar over the past two decades, and has been supportive of the Obama administration’s engagement of the reformist Myanmar President Thein Sein.

The U.S. recently suspended investment sanctions that had been in force against Myanmar for 15 years.

Suu Kyi cautiously supported that move, but it did expose a rare difference between her views and those of the U.S. government.

The U.S. decided to allow U.S. companies to invest with Myanmar’s state oil and gas enterprise.

Suu Kyi has opposed foreign companies working with that enterprise because of its lack of openness.

MALI

Hostages released

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BAMAKO, Mali — A helicopter was dispatched to Mali on Wednesday to retrieve three European hostages held for the past 10 months by a jihadist group, according to the governments of Italy and Spain and a military official in Burkina Faso, which sent the copter.

The hostages, who were not immediately able to leave due to a sandstorm, were freed in a prisoner exchange, a prison official in neighbouring Mauritania who requested anonymity told The Associated Press.

Spaniards Enric Gonyalons and Ainhoa Fernandez del Rincon and Italian Rossella Urru are aid workers who were kidnapped from a refugee camp in southern Algeria last October.

The Movement for Unity and Jihad in West Africa, known as MUJAO by its French acronym, was responsible for their kidnapping.

They were freed near the town of Gao in Mali’s distant north, according to Sanda Abdou Mohamed, a spokesman for Ansar Dine, a radical Islamic group allied with MUJAO which now controls northern Mali, including the city where the three were released.

A soldier at a military base in Ouagadougou, from where the helicopter was dispatched, confirmed that the aircraft was heading to retrieve the three hostages, whose freedom was negotiated by Burkina’s president.

In Gao, residents said that a violent sandstorm had engulfed the city late Wednesday night and it was unclear if the helicopter had been able to land.

The al-Qaida-linked cell has kidnapped over 50 Europeans since 2003 when it first began operating out of Mali and in recent years started contracting locals to grab foreigners, who then sell them to the al-Qaida branch, known as AQIM, or al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb. Intelligence experts had initially thought that MUJAO was such a contractor.

Assad relative killed in bombing

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

File photo by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Syrian President Bashar Assad, left, stands next to Syrian Defence Minister Gen. Dawoud Rajha, right, during a ceremony to mark the 38th anniversary of the October 1973 Arab-Israeli war, in Damascus, Syria, on Thursday Oct. 6, 2011. Syria’s state-run TV says the country’s defense minister has been killed in a suicide blast in the capital Wednesday, July 18, 2012 in an attack that struck the National Security building in Damascus during a meeting of Cabinet ministers and senior security officials.

Shaar and Maj. Gen. Hisham Ikhtiar, who heads the National Security Department. State TV said both were in stable condition.

Rajha, 65, was the most senior Christian government official in Syria, appointed to the post by Assad last year. His death will resonate with Syria’s Christians, who make up about 10 per cent of the population of 22 million and have mostly stood by the regime.

Christians say they are particularly vulnerable and they fear that Syria will become another Iraq, with Christians caught in the crossfire between rival Muslim groups.

The attack came at a time of great momentum for the forces trying to oust Assad, whose family has ruled Syria for four decades. Although the uprising began in March 2011, recent weeks have seen a spike in potentially transformative events, including highlevel defections from the regime.

Four straight days of clashes between rebels and government troops this week in Damascus showed

the rebels can now infiltrate the tightly controlled capital. On Tuesday, Israel’s military intelligence chief said Assad had diverted his troops away from the Israeli border area toward the centre of Syria, reflecting the regime’s worsening position.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SOFIA, Bulgaria — A bus carrying Israeli youth exploded Wednesday in a Bulgarian resort, killing at least four people and wounded more than two dozen, police and hospital officials said. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called it “an Iranian terror attack” and promised a tough response.

The explosion took place in the Black Sea city of Burgas, some 400 kilometres (250 miles) east of the capital, Sofia. TV images showed smoke billowing from the scene — a parking lot at the local airport, where the Israeli tourists had apparently just landed.

Several buses and cars were on fire near the shell of the exploded vehicle.

Bulgaria, an eastern European nation bordering Greece and Turkey, is a popular tourist destination for Israelis.

It was not yet certain what caused the blast — whether it was the result of a suicide bomber or a device remotely deto-

nated — and no group immediately claimed responsibility.

But Israelis often have been targeted in attacks outside their country, and Wednesday’s bombing coincided with the 18th anniversary of the bombing of a Jewish community centre in Argentina that killed 85 people.

Israel suspects Iran of being behind several of those assaults, which have added to the tensions between the two nations already exacerbated by Israeli warnings against Iran’s alleged pursuit of a nuclear weapons program.

The Israeli premier noted that Wednesday’s attack followed similar attacks or attempted attacks in India, Georgia, Thailand and Kenya and Cyprus in recent months.

He said that once again, “all signs point to Iran,” though he did not offer any evidence to back up the claim.

“This is an Iranian terror attack that is spreading across the world,” Netanyahu said.

“Israel will react strongly to Iran’s terror.”

Tehran did not immediately issue any comment.

Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Jonathan Rosenzweig said a flight from Tel Aviv had landed at 4:45 p.m. at the airport and that the blast took place about 40 minutes later. The tourists were apparently boarding the buses to go to their hotels.

Witness Gal Malka told Israel’s Channel 2 TV that she saw someone board the bus before it exploded. Malka, who was lightly wounded, said the bus was full of Israeli teenagers. “We were at the entrance of the bus and in a few seconds we heard a huge boom,” she said.

Bulgarian Interior Minister Tsvetan Tsvetanov told Bulgarian national TV from Burgas that a person died in the hospital, bringing the death toll to four. Prior to that announcement, a doctor at the Burgas city hospital told Bulgarian radio that there were 27 people hurt — and at least three had severe injuries. He was not identified.

B

The Burgas airport was closed and traffic redirected. In Sofia, meanwhile, Mayor Yordanka Fandakova ordered a stronger police presence at all public places linked to the Jewish community. There are some 5,000 Jews in Bulgaria and most live in the capital.

BEIRUT — Rebels penetrated the heart of Syria’s power elite Wednesday, detonating a bomb inside a high-level crisis meeting in Damascus that killed three leaders of the regime, including President Bashar Assad’s brother-in-law and the defence minister.

The unprecedented blow to the ruling dynasty could mark a turning point in the civil war, suggesting that those once close to Assad are turning against him. The bombing follows some of the worst bloodshed in Damascus of the 16-month uprising, a growing list of high-ranking defections and mounting frustration by world leaders over their inability to find a diplomatic solution.

The White House said the bombing showed Assad was “losing control” of Syria.

Rebels claimed responsibility for the attack, saying they had been planning it for two months and finally decided to plant the bomb in the room where the top government security officials in charge of crushing the revolt were holding a crisis meeting.

“God willing, this is the beginning of the end of the regime,” said Riad al-Asaad, a commander of the disparate rebel forces who operate across the country. Al-Asaad, who is not related to the president, spoke to The Associated Press by telephone from Turkey, where he is based.

“Hopefully Bashar will be next,” Al-Asaad said in a chilling warning to the 46-year-old Syrian president, a tall, lanky leader who once felt so confident in his security that he was known to hate being surrounded by bodyguards.

The whereabouts of Assad, his wife and his three young children were not immediately clear. He gave no immediate statements on the attack, which staterun TV initially blamed on a suicide bomber but later called simply a bomb.

As news of the assassinations broke, Syrians opposed to Assad celebrated in several locations across the country.

Internet video showed people in convoys of cars and motorbikes honking their horns and firing weapons in the air in the northeastern Idlib province, along with Aleppo in the north, Daraa in the south and Homs in central Syria. In the village of Hass, residents distributed sweets as they gleefully shouted: “You are going to hell, shabihas” — a reference to the pro-regime militia that has been blamed for mass killings.

The AP could not immediately verify the authenticity of the video.

Syrian TV confirmed the deaths of Defence Minister Dawoud Rajha, a former army general and the most senior government official to be killed in the rebels’ battle to oust Assad; Gen. Assef Shawkat, the deputy defence minister who is married to Assad’s elder sister, Bushra, and is one of the most feared figures in the inner circle; and Hassan Turkmani, a former defence minister who died of his wounds in the hospital.

Also wounded were Interior Minister Mohammed

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PYONGYANG, North Korea — Soldiers danced in Pyongyang’s plazas as North Korea announced Wednesday that leader Kim Jong Un was named marshal, a title cementing his status atop the authoritarian nation’s military as he makes key changes to the 1.2 million-man force.

State media said in a special noon bulletin that North Korea’s military, government and political leadership decided Tuesday to award the top title to Kim, who already is supreme com-

mander of the Korean People’s Army. It solidifies his standing seven months into Kim’s rule and follows several days of reshuffling at the highest levels of the military.

His new military vanguard — led by a vice marshal introduced Wednesday as the nation’s next army chief — presided over a meeting of officers and defence officials attended by The Associated Press.

Hyon Yong Chol, promoted to vice marshal on Monday, was introduced as the chief of the General Staff of the Korean People’s Army. He re-

places Ri Yong Ho, the vice marshal whose dismissal was announced Monday as being due to illness. Ri, who had held high-ranking military and political posts under Kim Jong Il, had been at Kim Jong Un’s side throughout the succession process.

Inside the April 25 House of Culture, officers applauded and cheered the news of Kim Jong Un’s ascension to the top military post while soldiers twirled, danced and sang patriotic songs in the plaza outside.

Double portions CONVERT LEFTOVER ROAST INTO A SANDWICH LUNCH

BY J.M. HIRSCH THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Grilled Hoisin Pork Tenderloin with Cumin Onions The pork should marinate for at least 30 minutes, but the longer the better. This recipe makes enough for 4 dinners, plus leftovers. It also makes 5 onions, assuming 4 for dinner and another to be used with the leftovers.

9.4-ounce jar hoisin sauce 1 cup red wine ¼ cup soy sauce 4 cloves garlic, minced 1 teaspoon hot sauce 2-pounds pork tenderloins 5 large yellow onions 2 tablespoons olive oil Kosher salt and ground black pepper 1 tablespoon whole cumin seeds In a zip-close plastic bag, combine the hoisin, wine, soy sauce, garlic and hot sauce. Seal the bag and gently shake to mix well. Add the pork tenderloins, then close the bag and gently turn to ensure the meat is well coated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 24 hours.

Trim the ends from the onions, then peel off the outer layer. Place the onions in a second zip-close bag; add the olive oil, a bit of salt and pepper, and the cumin seeds. Seal the bag, then gently shake to coat evenly. Refrigerate until ready to grill the meat.

When ready to cook, heat one side of the grill to medium-high, the other side to low.

Using an oil-soaked paper towel held with tongs, oil the grill grates.

Add the whole onions to the cooler side. Grill, covered, for 5 minutes.

Turn the onions, then add the pork to the warmer side of the grill.

Grill the pork for 6 minutes per side. Remove the onions when they are very tender and the meat when it is nicely seared on the outside and 145 F at the centre.

Transfer the pork and onions to a platter and let the meat rest for 5 minutes. Thinly slice the pork and serve with an onion.

Leftover makeover: Pulled Pork Sandwiches The next morning, place any leftover pork in a large bowl. Use 2 forks to tear and pull apart the pork into thin strands. Any leftover onions can be finely chopped, then added to the bowl. Add ¼ to ½ cup of bottled barbecue sauce and mix well. If you like it spicy, a splash of hot sauce also could be added.

For a cold sandwich, the pulled pork can spooned onto bread and packed in a lunch box.

For a hot sandwich, microwave the pulled pork for 1 to 2 minutes, or until hot, then pack in a preheated thermos with bread packed separately.

The best dinners are those that not only are delicious in their own right, but that also leave ample leftovers that can be easily reworked into an equally delicious lunch the next day.

As the father of a voracious 7-year-old boy — and as a father who packs said voracious boy’s school lunch every day — I’ve become a pro at these dinner-lunch combos. Any day that I can cook once and feed my kid twice is a very good day.

This recipe for grilled hoisin pork tenderloin is one of my favourites for this. The dinner itself is simple and wonderful and can be prepped the morning before. At dinner, I just toss the marinated tenderloin on the grill along with a few vegetables and it’s good to go.

The next day, I turn the leftover pork into barbecue pulled pork, which can be eaten on a bun or in a whole-wheat wrap. It also can be served warm or cold; my son loves it both ways.

This can be done with grilled chicken leftovers, too. Just follow the simple directions below.
