How a broken heart led to a life on the streets This is the fourth in a five-part series on homelessness in Red Deer. On Friday, we examine the city’s plan to end homelessness. BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF A life of sobriety was within his reach. Virgil Frencheater had a place to sleep, shower and eat within four walls. He was on the road to recovery. Again. But something was missing. “Being sober, I was alone,” said Frencheater. The 44-year-old could not ignore his street family, who were still scraping out an existence in Red Deer. It wasn’t long before he returned to his old life. “I see all my friends and family out there,” said Frencheater. “I miss them. I came out to be with my friends because they are the only ones I know. I have been dealing with them so long. I just see them out here. I couldn’t be inside Safe Harbour House. I didn’t want to stay there like that.” Frencheater’s been on and off the streets for two decades in places like Red Deer, Edmonton and Rocky Mountain House. Just a few short years ago, he dressed in the long flowing, coloured Cree regalia as he performed the traditional Cree grass dance before school children, politicians and the general public. These days, most people take little notice of Frencheater when he walks the city’s streets in his ball cap, scruffy black T-shirt and ripped jeans. Frencheater says the death of his parents and a broken heart forced him on the streets. “It was a broken heart,” said Frencheater. “That’s what got me out there. . . . For a lot of people, it is a broken heart that takes them out to the streets.” He said living on the streets is not easy but there can be some positive experiences. Mostly it’s the time spent with the street community, who look after one another and treat each other like family. “I love my homeless family,” says Jordyn Brown, 19, who has couch surfed for five years since running away from her grandmother’s home. In those five years, Brown’s been in an abusive relationship and had a daughter she does not live with.

PLEASE RECYCLE

BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF A Red Deer man who was booked for open-heart surgery three times at University of Alberta Hospital in Edmonton only to have it cancelled each time says he’s not the only heart patient in limbo. Harold Chapman, 66, said Alberta has to deal with its doctor shortage. “There’s only so many (doctors) and I’m not the only one with a bad heart,” Chapman said on Wednesday. Chapman is waiting for aortic valve replacement. A double bypass may be done at the same time. The surgery will take four to six hours. He said his cardiologist in Red Deer determined the surgery had to be done and Chapman was immediately lined up for surgery in Edmonton. His surgery was first scheduled for late July. His last cancelled surgery was last week. He was prepped for surgery when he was told to go home, he said. “It ain’t the doctors’ or nurses’ fault. It ain’t the hospital’s fault. It’s our system.” Chapman said cancellations are very stressful for him and his family. Surgery is rescheduled now for Monday. “We’ve got the weekend for emergencies to come up, and this and that, and it could be cancelled again.” Chapman said he has gone to the U of A hospital six times for tests and consultation and cancelled surgeries. It’s tough on people who live outside Edmonton who have to find a driver, pay for gasoline and a motel the night before surgery, said the senior who is on a fixed income. Chapman said he complained to the office of Alberta Health Minister Fred Horne about the surgery cancellations and the response was unsatisfactory. “They won’t look into anything because they don’t see a problem.”

Virgil Frencheater has been on and off the streets for almost two decades. “It’s better than my real family. . . . When I stepped into Berachah Place, the first words I heard were ‘Family is for life.’ ” There’s also the front-line workers who offer smiles, services, comforts and lend an ear to listen. But the everyday challenges that the homeless face outweigh the positives: finding food, shelter, water and clothing –– the necessities of life every single day of the year. Pat Roan, 52, says those options are on the street but they are not likely all in one place. That means eating a meal at Loaves and Fishes, sleeping at People’s Place, drinking water from the Rotary Park fountain and picking bottles out of a dumpster in order to buy a pair of shoes that fit, she said.

STREETS: ‘I loved my homeless family’ “It’s hard to live when you walk the streets every day,” says Roan, homeless for more than 12 years. “Your feet hurt and you have to find a place to sleep.” If the shelters are full, they must find another safe and secure spot to sleep at night. Safe from others who are looking for trouble or to pinch your sparse belongings. Each day is a new struggle, says Vince Gouda, 21, who happens to be Frencheater’s son and also homeless. Gouda lived in Rocky Mountain House until he split up with a girlfriend and followed his father to Red Deer. Gouda has seasonal work in landscaping but he doesn’t have enough money for a place of his own. A good portion of his lean paycheques goes to the bottle. Gouda says he wants his own place and to get clean. “I do but it’s really hard,” said Gouda. “I am scared of the hangovers.” Imagine waking up under a bridge or on a park bench with the sweats, seizures and headaches without the comforts of fully-stocked medicine cabinet. And the only fix is another swallow. When the liquor store is closed and you’re down to your last dollar, Listerine is the only option, he said. “When you’re a chronic, you have to drink that,” said Frencheater. “You have no choice.” Wanda, who didn’t give her last name, lived on the streets for five years after a relationship fell apart and she had a mental breakdown. She said she just didn’t care anymore. She got hooked on crack cocaine and lost everything. “It’s very easy to get addictions when you’re on the streets,” says Roan. “That’s what you do day-by-day when you’re on the street. You are always looking for that high.” Roan lived in Hobbema, where she got hooked on morphine. In 2000, she hitchhiked to Red Deer to get into the methadone clinic. “I was tired of being a druggie,” said Roan. “My last drink of methadone was 12 years ago and now I’m hooked on crack. But I am slowly getting out of it. Maybe I smoke three times a week. Before it was every day of the week.” Roan said at this point in her life, she is comfortable living on the streets interacting with others who come from all walks of life. She said she would rather be on the streets than in the shelters because of the limitations placed on the guests. Wanda got her life back with the help of local agencies about six years ago. She has her own place downtown. She has rebuilt her relationship with her

Awaiting heart surgery in Edmonton, Harold Chapman has had his procedure cancelled three times in the past two weeks. 21-year-old son. Roan said she has seen young teenagers hanging out in spots where the homeless frequent, “trying out the street life.” Street life is not one she recommends. “Because once you get into it, it’s so hard to get out of it, especially if you have addictions,” said Roan. Gouda is slated to enter a detox centre. Frencheater is unsure whether he will dance again because of the pains in his legs. Brown wants to get her daughter back and move to British Columbia with her new boyfriend. Roan is slowing weening herself off crack. crhyno@reddeeradvocate.com

SURGERY: Money wasted Meanwhile, money is wasted at Alberta Health Services — like the lavish expenses former AHS chief financial officer Allaudin Merali billed the health system — that could go towards doctors, he

said. Chapman is also concerned about alleged queue jumping and hopes something will come out of the inquiry that will soon be underway. Queue jumping allegations were sparked by comments in 2009 by former Alberta Health Services CEO Stephen Duckett that political cronies had been able to move up surgery wait lists or get expedited care. Chapman said the more people talk about their problems with the health-care system, the more likely there will be improvements. AHS spokesperson Terry Williamson said rescheduling is not due to a doctor shortage. “It’s purely a priority situation,” Williamson said. “Sometimes patients need to be rescheduled if higher-priority cases, such as when emergencies or transplants come in.” He said rescheduling patients is avoided. When it’s necessary, surgery is rescheduled for as soon as possible. “We do understand the impact that rescheduling has on patients and families. It can be frustrating,” Williamson said. szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com

Two imprisoned for ‘cowardly’ attack BY BRENDA KOSSOWAN ADVOCATE STAFF Federal prison cells await two of the four Red Deer men accused of brutally beating another man in a planned attack at a downtown apartment building early in April. Joshua Severin, 19, Cameron Coles, 26, Victor Bricker, 20, and Morgan Riley, 18, were arrested and charged after an attack that sent a Red Deer man to hospital with serious wounds, including machete wounds to his face and head, late in the evening of April 9. Severin pleaded guilty to two counts of aggravated assault in Red Deer provincial court on Wednesday morning. He also pleaded guilty to aggravated assault for hitting a man with a shovel during an attack in the Riverside Meadows subdivision on March 9. In relaying facts of the April 9 attack, Crown prosecutor Murray McPherson said Severin was one of four men who followed their victim and his girlfriend into the lobby area of the Ranchers Valley apartment building at 51st Avenue and 49th Street at about 11:25 p.m.

LOTTERIES

Video cameras in the lobby captured the drama from two different angles, showing Riley watching from the sidelines as Severin and two others punched and kicked the victim. Severin sat stock still in the prisoners’ box, showing no emotion, while McPherson told how he and his companions continued their attack as their victim cowered in the corner of the room. The man tried to pull out a pocketknife but it was of no use to him, said McPherson. A machete was produced at one point, during which the victim was slashed in the face from his ear to his eye. The man was attempting to escape into the lobby elevator when one of the men passed the machete to Severin, who brought it down on his head, said McPherson. Investigators have not determined why Severin and the others launched the attack, he said. Bricker and Riley each pleaded guilty earlier for their roles in the incident. Bricker was sentenced to two years for aggravated assault. Riley was sentenced to time served after pleading guilty to common assault. He and defence counsel Michael Scrase

entered a joint sentencing submission on the two charges, seeking time served of four months for the March assault, to be followed with a two-year federal sentence on the April attack. Scrase asked that the court consider Severin’s early guilty plea, his youth, his efforts to better himself and his rough childhood in reaching a reasonable sentence. Court heard that the young man, whose father has some mental health issues, had been living in foster care from the age of eight and had little contact with either of his parents. In accepting their submission, Judge John Holmes stated that he found the attack to be planned and cowardly. Holmes ordered that Severin surrender a sample of his DNA and prohibited him from possessing weapons for 10 years along with a lifetime ban on owning prohibited or restricted weapons. Coles, also in custody since April 9, was to have dealt with his charges on Wednesday afternoon. However, his proceedings were adjourned until Aug. 24 because his lawyer, Chris Paterson of Ponoka, was needed in another courtroom. bkossowan@reddeeradvocate.com

Going squirrelly: Alberta rodents feeling effects of climate change BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — Research from the University of Alberta suggests that squirrels in the province’s southern foothills are starting to suffer from climate change. The finding raises questions about what’s happening with other wild populations in the area. “There’s reason to expect these patterns could be general across some different mammals,” said Jeff Lane, an ecologist whose paper was published Wednesday in the prestigious journal Nature. Lane and his colleagues looked at a patch of subalpine meadow southwest of Calgary where a population of Columbia squirrels had been extensively surveyed and studied going back to 1992. To survive the area’s harsh winters, the tiny mammals hibernate between eight and nine months of the year.

But data showed the squirrels were waking up from their winter nap later and later every year. The average date of emergence was fully 10 days later in 2011 than in 1992. The question was why? Previous studies suggest that hibernating animals wake up when the weather gets warmer and the snow disappears. Temperature records in the area show that average temperatures haven’t changed much over the last two decades, so Lane looked at snowfall data. Sure enough, late-season dumps of snow have become more common. In the first decade of the study, there was only one year where more than five centimetres of snow fell after mid-April. In the second decade, there were seven such late snowstorms. That lines up with standard climate change models, which predict more winter precipitation coming in more frequent heavy snowfalls across much of North America.

tario in 2009 after the Alberta government merged Capital Health and other regional boards into one superboard called Alberta Health Services. While working in Ontario as a consultant he billed the province for expenses of up to $76,000 per month. Alberta Health Services then hired Merali as its chief financial officer. Scott said the review, which will also look at how rigorously the government screens the senior officials it hires, should reassure Albertans. It will look at the models and best practises used by other jurisdictions.

EDMONTON — Alberta says it is reviewing its government expense and hiring policies after two senior health executives quit over lavish claims worth $346,000. The review is to be conducted by Alberta’s information commissioner and Don Scott, associate minister of accountability. “I am leading an initiative that will result in greater transparency on travel and expenses, with stricter reporting requirements for cabinet ministers, as well as executives in government and in agencies, boards and commissions,” Scott said in a release Wednesday. The announcement was prompted by the resignation of Allaudin Merali last week as chief financial officer of Alberta Health Services over his expense claims when he worked for the now defunct Capital Health Region. The claims filed between 2005 and 2009 included expensive restaurant meals, maintenance for his Mercedes and international trips. Sheila Weatherill, his boss at the time who approved the expense claims, also stepped down last week from the board of Alberta Health Services. The leader of Alberta’s Opposition Wildrose party called on Premier Alison Redford to fire Health Minister Fred Horne over the lavish expense claims and other problems in the health ministry. Danielle Smith said Horne, who only took over the job of health minister last October, has lost the confidence of the public to properly manage Alberta Health Services. “This is not the performance of a minister Albertans can trust with our most important gov-

ernment service,” Smith said in a release. “If Premier Redford wishes to convince Albertans that she’s serious about fixing health care after this latest and most egregious scandal, she should start by replacing the man who has consistently shown he is not the man for the job.” Smith said Horne has also failed to resolve an ongoing contract dispute with Alberta physicians, improve services to seniors in long-term care homes or improve primary health clinics. Horne’s press secretary said the minister would not respond to Smith’s calls. Merali went to On-

Fishing for a new reality Grave concerns remain about the health of fish — and other animals — in Central Alberta in the wake of the June oil pipeline rupture. The spill, relatively minor on the oil disasters scale (if any such calamity can be termed minor), should now be seen as a cautionary tale for a country desperate to sell its resources, and for a province desperate to maximize its income from those sales. Last week, the province announced that catch-and-release restrictions have been put in place on the main stem of the Red Deer River, upstream of Dickson Dam, including Gleniffer Lake and Dickson Trout Pond, to Banff National Park boundary and all flowing tributary waters. The announcement of the restriction comes two months after 3,000 barrels (475,000 litres) of light sour crude oil was released into the Red Deer River from a rupture Plains Midstream Canada pipeline about one km north of Sundre. Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development intends to sample fish populations to assess damage from the pipeline leak. The province will analyze fish tissue for contaminants and look for evidence

OURVIEW JOHN STEWART of long-term changes to fish biology, ecology and physiology. The sampling and monitoring programs do not necessarily mean that fish stock has been significantly damaged. But it does mean that there is a concern. And that should be enough to set off alarm bells. Why that concern is only now being raised, a full two months after the June 7 spill, raises more significant questions. “The fact that the government takes so long to make a decision on ‘Hey, maybe we should make this a catch-and-release’ tells you about the larger picture,” local guide Dave Jensen told the Advocate last week. “It has taken two months for something so obvious to happen and it is just reflective on how these things work. “Is this something that could have happened immediately but didn’t? Yes.” But can we draw lessons, and some clear resolutions for change, from this

mess? We can, and we should — and not a moment too soon. The pipelines that criss-cross this nation, and our province in particular, should not be rubber stamped as safe and durable. Clearly, the technology used to construct and maintain the existing network of pipelines is antiquated. And the system to maintain — and police that maintenance — is substandard. And any plan for future pipeline development (and we all know the mammoth scale of plans for the Keystone and Northern Gateway projects) must meet standards for public and environmental safety far greater than ever conceived before. Prime Minister Stephen Harper pronounced this week that due process and scientific standards alone will determine the fate of Enbridge’s proposed Northern Gateway oil pipeline. Critics are skeptical, pointing to the Harper government’s penchant for political expediency over scientific rigour (and its habit of clawing back funding for science, and environmental monitoring). Couple that with the federal government’s flawed proposed Fisheries Act,

which the outdoor lobby says gives “no consideration to the habitat surrounding a fishery (and) will most certainly result in a deterioration of water quality, which ultimately will jeopardize many important fisheries and, potentially, watersheds.” Those are the words of the Alberta Fish and Game Association, which has an obvious vested interest in protecting the fishery habitat in this province. Their words should not fall on deaf ears. Harper needs to ensure that no political interference sullies the Northern Gateway hearings. Alberta Premier Alison Redford needs to ensure that the inquiry into pipeline safety is indeed independent and thorough. And then Redford needs be quick and aggressive in shaping the inquiry’s findings into a new framework for safe and durable transportation of oil and gas. We need the income that will be drawn from the export of our resources. But we also need not be left with a mess as we pump the oil and gas out of the province. John Stewart is the Advocate’s managing editor.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Join drive to ban nuclear weapons On Aug. 6, 1945, the United States dropped a nuclear bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima; 80,000 people died immediately. Three days later a second bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, killing another 40,000 people. In both cities, tens of thousands of others later died from the effects of radiation poisoning, burns and other injuries. Although usually presented as the military act that ended the war in the Pacific, in fact Japan had been pursuing an armistice for six months before that. Japan ultimately sued for peace even before the nuclear weapons were used. This offence against humanity should never happen again. Yet nuclear weapons continue to be a threat. International campaigns and actions will take place on Hiroshima Day, Aug. 6, and Nagasaki Day, Aug. 9, to remember the atrocities of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings, and to bring attention to the threat that nuclear weapons present today. One way to commemorate both Hiroshima Day and Nagasaki Day is to google and join the work of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN Canada). They formed when Physicians for Global Survival and the Voice of Women joined Mayors for Peace in a campaign to abolish nuclear weapons. Our voices as citizens can be louder than the bomb! Ken Collier Red Deer

Let’s pray and work for peace On Aug. 6, 1945, 67 years ago, the U.S. dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan, killing 80,000 immediately! Just three days later, on Aug. 9, it dropped another one on Nagasaki, killing another 40,000! Slowly, tens of thousands more died from the effects of radiation. Nuclear weapons must be abolished so that this will never happen again— not to our generation, nor to succeeding generations! Let’s pray and work for peace. Betty Weenink Lacombe

Once bitten, twice shy? There was a song released in 1968 called The Snake by a singer named Al Wilson. The song recounted a story about a half-frozen snake that was found by a young woman one cold morning. The snake pleaded with her to take it in and rescue it from certain death, so she brought the snake home and revived it with warmth and tender care. The snake recovered and quickly resumed its vicious ways when it suddenly bit her. The young woman was completely shocked by the bite but the snake cautioned her that she knew he was a snake JIM (albeit a talking snake) before SUTHERLAND she rescued it. The song is clearly a parable about bad relationships, but I thought of this song shortly after we reelected the Progressive Conservatives with a sizable majority, despite all the evidence that pointed in a different direction. The current AHS scandal is just another chapter

in the misadventure but, when I watch the news and see the interviews with average citizens in the big cities, I have one highly relevant question: who did you vote for in the provincial election? If you voted for the PCs, then you most assuredly got exactly what you voted for. The shaky track record of Allaudin Merali was pretty evident when his almost $350,000 in expenses were brought to light from his former job with the now defunct Capital Health Region. Apparently the job description must have included a strong ability to wine and dine inner circle friends and acquaintances. Merali had a similar legacy in Ontario, so at least he had experience in how to spend large amounts of money from the public trough. The bitter irony of his excessive culinary choices in upscale restaurants was probably not lost on the seniors who dined on a not-so-close approximation of food before their plight was revealed through the media. Meanwhile back at the Olympics, Alison Redford issued a statement that the expensive legacy of Merali was “entirely inappropriate.” Somehow her words seemed very hollow, given her interview location in London enjoying the lavish perks of a very expensive trip to a large sporting event that apparently

(Side note here: Prime Minister Harper was at a CFL game in Montreal recently, as well as a visit to Kindersley, Sask., to celebrate the overdue death of the Wheat Board monopoly.) The other early legacy of Redford’s premiership will be her ill-advised promise to redefine Alberta’s role in a national energy policy. This misstep has placed her firmly at odds with the election interests of B.C. Premier Christy Clark, a woman who is in a desperate pre-election battle for her political life in that province. The political Pandora’s Box opened by Premier Redford was a very bad move that highlighted her burning desire to redefine the partnership of the provinces in Confederation, presumably in one giant Kumbaya moment that will give her a hallowed place in Canadian history. Somehow the voters in this province have become immune to snake bites because they have chosen to continue along the same perilous path in Alberta when it comes to provincial politics and they have little reason to whine about their choice in the past spring election.

NATIONAL SECURITY CASE Court orders Tories to find new arbitrator in Canada Post dispute Lawyerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suspicions BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Federal Court has ordered the Harper government to find a new arbitrator in a lingering dispute between Canada Post and its biggest union. In a decision released Wednesday, the court said arbitrator Guy Dufortâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s previous work for Canada Post and history as a Conservative candidate in Quebec casts doubt on his impartiality. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In light of the unique context of labour relations and the special law, the court concludes that a reasonable and sensible person might worry that the arbitrator is biased because of these two reasons,â&#x20AC;? says a summary of the decision. Labour Minister Lisa Raitt had named Dufort to hear the case after retired judge Coulter Osborne quit the job amid concerns that he was not bilingual. Though Dufort was on a list of potential arbitrators approved

by the Canadian Union of Postal Workers, the union said they were unaware of the depth of his ties to the Conservatives and Canada Post and objected to his appointment as soon as they learned of the links. The union says Dufortâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Facebook page contained links to Conservative groups under the â&#x20AC;&#x153;activities and interestsâ&#x20AC;? section, and he was â&#x20AC;&#x153;friendsâ&#x20AC;? on the social networking site with both Raitt and Tory MP Steven Fletcher, the junior minister responsible for Canada Post. The links have since been removed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The union has written to Lisa Raitt, asking that a mediator be appointed to facilitate the collective bargaining process instead of appointing another â&#x20AC;&#x2122;friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to force a winner-takes-all final offer selection on the parties as mandated by the back-to-work legislation,â&#x20AC;? CUPW said in a statement. The government is now consid-

ering its options, and Raittâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office had little to say on the matter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our government took action and passed a law to restore delivery mail to Canadians. We acted in the best interests of Canadian in doing so,â&#x20AC;? the minister said in a statement provided by her office. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The CUPW provided Mr. Dufortâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name on their short list of potential arbitrators put forth in November 2011. It would not be appropriate to comment at this time as we are currently reviewing the decision.â&#x20AC;? Canada Post locked out some 50,000 of its employees last year after a series of rotating strikes by the union. The dispute ended with federal back-to-work legislation that forced workers to accept wages that amounted to less than Canada Postâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last offer. Arbitration hearings to settle the dispute stalled again in May after the Federal Court agreed to hear the case.

Interpol wants Paul Watson arrested BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

can resume. Sea Shepherd maintains Watsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arrest was politically motivated. Watson parted ways with Greenpeace in 1977 to set up the Sea Shepherd Society. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The elevation of the attack against our organization and our founder... is not unexpected,â&#x20AC;? Sea Shepherd director Susan Hartland said in a statement posted on the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sea Shepherd fully supports Captain Watson and is at work with our international teams to resolve this politically motivated battle,â&#x20AC;? she said. The organization said Watson was filming a documentary at the time of the alleged incident in Guatemalan waters in 2002. The group said it encountered an illegal shark finning operation run by a Costa Rican ship and told the crew to stop and head to port to be prosecuted.

THE CANADIAN PRESS A lawyer who represented two men branded as threats to national security said Wednesday he was stunned to discover confirmation of his long-held suspicions that government agents had listened in on his phone calls with his clients. Federal lawyers had heaped scorn on him when he first raised the issue a decade ago, Rocco Galati said, and it was only recently he learned heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been right all along. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe the degree to which the judicial process had been corrupted,â&#x20AC;? Galati told The Canadian Press outside Federal Court. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The most offensive part of it was being ridiculed by government lawyers pretending that I was on some wild speculation,â&#x20AC;? he said. From March 1999 to the end of 2003, the Toronto lawyer acted for two Egyptians slapped separately with national security certificates: Mohamed Mahjoub and Mahmoud Jaballah. The government deemed the men terrorist threats, with much of its case based on secret evidence they were not allowed to see. A dozen years later, both men â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in prison or under house arrest despite facing no charges in Canada â&#x20AC;&#x201D; are still fighting to have their certificates quashed. In 2008, Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spy agency admitted listening in on Mahjoubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s calls

with his lawyers, but only as a way to monitor his bail conditions, one of which included his consent to having his phone tapped. The revelation prompted outrage from his lawyers, who said Mahjoub had never intended to waive solicitor-client privilege â&#x20AC;&#x201D; considered judicially sacrosanct. A judge quickly ordered an end to the practice. Mahjoubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current lawyers have since gained access to information that shows the Canadian Security Intelligence Service and the Canada Border Services Agency had been intercepting communications between him and his lawyers, including Galati, from the get-go. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you intercept a lawyerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s communications with his clients, you might as well get rid of the judiciary because then the judiciary is no longer independent,â&#x20AC;? Galati said. In an affidavit filed with Federal Court hearing the Mahjoub case on Wednesday, Galati stated it was only in March this year that he saw spy agency admissions they had listened in and analyzed his communications with his clients. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I did not know that Canadian government institutions such as CSIS and/or the CBSA would violate such a fundamental right as the right to confidential communications between a solicitor and his client,â&#x20AC;? Galati states.

LYON, France â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Interpol has issued an arrest notice for the Sea Shepherd Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Canadian founder, who skipped bail in Germany last month over fears of retribution for his ongoing clashes with Japanese whalers. Paul Watson was arrested at Frankfurt Airport in May on a Costa Rican warrant that claimed he had endangered the crew of a fishing vessel a decade ago. The environmental activist was released days later on a $320,000 bond and ordered to report regularly to German authorities while Costa Ricaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extradition request was considered. He went missing in late July and Sea Shepherd confirmed he had left Germany, though the group said it had no further information on his location. Watson himself explained his

departure in a message posted on the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website, saying he saw no other option after Japanese officials filed their own request for his extradition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Costa Rica and Germany have simply been pawns in the Japanese quest to silence Sea Shepherd in an attempt to stop our annual opposition of their illegal whaling activities,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is not about justice; it is about revenge.â&#x20AC;? Watson gave little indication of his whereabouts, but suggested he remained at sea. The Sea Shepherd Society has waged aggressive campaigns to protect marine animals, prompting Japan to label its members terrorists and to seek Watsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arrest for allegedly masterminding violent protests. Interpol said the information it received from Costa Rica spurred it to ask its 190 members to arrest Watson so the extradition process

Canadians illegally trained by U.S. contractor SECOND TIME CANADA LINKED TO NOTORIOUS SECURITY COMPANY BLACKWATER BY MURRAY BREWSTER THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Canadian troops and police were trained for two years by the international security contractor formerly known as Blackwater without the permission of the U.S. State Department. The revelation is contained in U.S. federal court records, unsealed in North Carolina as part of a $7.5 million settlement of criminal charges against the company that’s now known as Academi LLC. It is the second time Canada’s association with the notorious security company, often described as the world’s largest mercenary army, has arisen in a complex legal case that has been churning its way through U.S. courts. Blackwater, which changed its name to Xe Services before being sold and becoming Academi, was cited in August 2010 for the unauthorized export of technical data to the Canadian military. The Harper government has had a standing, untendered contract with the company since 2008 and the NDP’s defence critic is now calling for a further investigation into the country’s ties to the company. It’s paid millions of dollars going back to 2006 for specialized training provided to special forces troops and some police officers. U.S. prosecutors say Blackwater didn’t seek the permission required under American arms control laws for the instruction, which took place between 2006 and 2008 and included training in marksman-

ship, defensive driving, bodyguard and close combat skills. The company had a myriad of subsidiaries. Some of what Blackwater companies taught the Canadian military involved the company’s “Mirror Image” course, according to court documents filed in Raleigh, N.C. The program sees trainees living as a mock al-Qaida cell to better understand the mindset and culture of insurgents. It is a “classroom and field training program designed to simulate terrorist recruitment, training, techniques and operational tactics,” said a Blackwater brochure. The course was offered by the now-defunct Blackwater subsidiary Terrorism Research Centre, which in addition to the immersion-like training provided advice to governments and U.S. cities on gathering intelligence. The centre was shut down by the new owners. Much of the public attention on Blackwater has focused on the 2007 deaths of 17 Iraqis in Baghdad following an attack on a diplomatic convoy protected by Blackwater guards. But the company’s advice and potential involvement in the murky world of intelligence gathering for both government and corporations has been the subject of growing scrutiny over the last few years. National Defence and the government have over the years defended their association with Blackwater, saying the courses and instruction were necessary and unavailable anywhere else. A spokeswoman in Defence Minister Peter Mac-

Kay’s office issued only a one-line email statement, saying it was “appropriate training” to ensure that soldiers had “skills required to survive a very difficult military mission in Afghanistan.” Officials within the department declined further comment, but a defence expert who has written extensively on the shadowy ventures of private security companies called the revelations troubling. Dave Perry of Carleton University’s Centre for Security and Defence Studies said whenever it’s gotten into trouble, Blackwater always insisted it was carrying out business in compliance with U.S. foreign policy. “It potentially brings into question whether they were actually doing that, if they weren’t going through the formal channels to get approval for something as relatively mundane as training,” Perry said. The NDP’s Jack Harris said his party has long opposed the training. “What else don’t we know that’s going on without the knowledge or consent of the Canadian people?” Harris asked. Perry said the court case raises more questions about the government’s association and believes the revelations may only be the tip of the iceberg, given that Blackwater had over 30 different subsidiaries. “I don’t think we have a full appreciation of the full range of services” offered to Canada by the company, he said. Asked if the Canadian public has yet to learn the full story, Perry replied: “I think that’s fair to say.”

Second fatal highway crash this summer in Sask. involving wildlife BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

Judge gives break to man who lied about being a war-weary soldier WINNIPEG — A Winnipeg man who pretended to be a soldier for more than two years has pleaded guilty to impersonating a member of the military by wearing a uniform without authorization. Josh Tuckett was given a discharge Tuesday after a judge agreed with a recommendation from lawyers to spare him a criminal record because he didn’t benefit from his actions. Tuckett, who is 21, was arrested last November after he showed up at a military event in Winnipeg in full uniform, but was found out when he presented a false name badge and identification number. Court heard he had told his family and fiancee that he was a full-fledged soldier and convinced them he was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. He was interviewed and photographed for a weekly newspaper in Niverville, Man., in 2009 and told a reporter he was anxious to head overseas.

Victoria police allege lacy larceny as man found with women’s panties No one has complained yet, but Mounties in West Shore, B.C., just west of Victoria, believe they may be on the trail of an underwear thief. Investigators say the man, in his late 40s, was found unconscious in a bathroom in the Metchosin area on July 29 and his backpack was stuffed with women’s and girl’s underwear. They haven’t said why the man was unconscious, but they have revealed he has a record of sexual assaults. Police are now trying to determine if the underwear could have been taken from clotheslines or during break-ins.

VICTORIA — The man who died in a paragliding accident earlier this week near Pemberton, B.C., has been identified as John Clifford from Seattle, Wash. BC Coroners Service says 55-year-old Clifford had been competing in the Canadian Paragliding National Championships in Pemberton, north of Whistler, on Monday when something went wrong and he ended up in the Lillooet River. Clifford is the fourth hang glider or paraglider to die in B.C. this year. In June, two men died in separate crashes in Lumby and in Enderby, and in April, Lenami Godinez-Avila died after she fell from a tandem flight near Agassiz.

Saskatchewan to pay for expensive treatment for girl with rare disease REGINA — The Saskatchewan government has agreed to pay for treatment for a three-year-old girl with a rare disease. Violet Revet of Langenburg is one of only nine people in Canada who has Mucopolysaccharidosis VI. The disease has no cure and the longer she goes without treatment, the shorter her life span will be. Andrew McFayden’s son, Isaac, was diagnosed with the disease in 2005. McFayden, of Campbellford, Ont., was told Isaac would only have seven or eight years to live. That was before doctors realized a treatment was making the rounds in the United Kingdom and the United States — a synthetic enzyme known as naglazyme that acts as a replacement in the body. Violet’s case had prompted many supporters to flood Premier Brad Wall’s Twitter account with pleas for the funding, and Wall asked the ministry to look into the matter.

KELVINGTON, Sask. — For the second time in less than a month, a man has been killed in a collision with wildlife on a Saskatchewan highway. The latest accident happened Tuesday night when a 52-year-old man died instantly in a crash involving an elk on Highway 38, about 27 kilometres north of Kelvington. RCMP say the resident of Porcupine Plain, Sask., was the lone occupant of the vehicle. His name has not been released. A 38-year-old RCMP officer died in a collision with a moose while responding to a call near Wilkie, Sask., in July. Const. Derek Pineo (PIHN’-ee-oh), a married father of three who was raised in Nova Scotia, was based at Wilkie and had only recently been transferred from Nipawin, Sask.

Syria launches ground assault in Aleppo THE ASSOCIATED PRESS TEL RIFAT, Syria — Syria launched a ground assault Wednesday on rebel-held areas of the besieged city of Aleppo, the centre of battles between government forces and opposition fighters for more than two weeks. It was not immediately clear if the offensive was “the mother of all battles” that Syria’s state-controlled media vowed last month would take place for control of Aleppo. In recent weeks, the regime’s blistering attacks on rebel positions seem to have slowly chipped away at the opposition’s grip on its strongholds in the country’s largest city. The official SANA news agency said regime forces have fully regained control of the Salaheddine neighbourhood, the main rebel area in Aleppo. It claimed the “fall” of hundreds of “armed terrorists,” the government’s catchall term for its opponents, without specifying what that meant. Rami Abdul-Rahman, the director of the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said troops met resistance in the offensive. About 25 miles (40 kilometres) north of Aleppo, Syrian fighter jets carried out airstrikes early Wednesday on the village of Tel Rifat, hitting a home and a high school and killing six people from the same family, residents said. Resident Moham-

a tangled pile of rubble and iron bars. A bouquet of plastic red flowers poked out of the rubble, and clothes still hung from one of the few walls that remained standing. There was a large bloodstain on a rock where residents said

med Zakkour, 35, said the sound of the jets and blasts jolted him awake and he left his house to see a huge cloud of dust and smoke rising above the village. Hours later, all that remained of a small home in the village was

they found one of the bodies. “The bodies were under the rubble,” Zakkour said. “Some were cut in half and parts of them had been blown onto the neighbours’ roofs.” Neighbours said the six were members of the

Blaw family: the grandfather, his adult daughter and son, the son’s wife and two of their cousins. Other strikes left two car-sized craters in the courtyard of the adjacent Tadamor Girls’ High School. It was unclear why the area was

targeted. Residents said government forces often shelled the village, but that this had been the first airstrike. They acknowledged that there were some rebels in the village, though an Associated Press reporter saw no armed men.

DENVER — A black bear went in and out of a Colorado candy store multiple times early one July morning, but he used the front door and didn’t break a thing. The bear did, however, steal some treats from the Estes Park store, including English toffee and some chocolate-chip cookies dipped in caramel and milk chocolate called “cookie bears.” Surveillance video at the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory showed the bear prying open the door and grabbing some candy near the registers. He took the treats outside and ate them, then returned for more. The bear made seven trips in about 15 minutes, finally leaving after a passing car apparently scared him away. Store owner Jo Adams said Wednesday the bear managed to pop open the door because the deadbolt wasn’t completely secured. She said the only evidence her mindful visitor left behind was some dirt on a counter and some paper on the ground. There weren’t even any wrappers, so she assumes he ate those too. “He was very clean and very careful. He ate a lot of candy,” said Adams of the bear break-in, first reported by the Estes Park News. Keeping bears out of human food in homes, garbage cans and cars is an ongoing struggle in Colorado’s mountain towns, including Estes Park, the gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park. A bear that broke into more than one occupied home there was euthanized last month because it posed a danger to people, Colorado Parks and Wildlife spokeswoman Jennifer Churchill said. She said this year’s drought is making the intelligent animals even more resourceful in finding food, and success can put them in danger of one day being put down. Adams said she’s a bear lover and doesn’t support killing the animals. “We’re in their turf, and you just put up with these things when they happen,” she said.

BY DANICA KIRKA THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON — Lucy Stewart says she likes water polo — even if it doesn’t have horses. Like many spectators at the London Olympics, Stewart was watching with perplexed pleasure Monday as Australia beat Greece in the men’s preliminary play. She had never been to a water polo game before. “I did think until a week ago that it was horses. My husband had to explain that it wasn’t,” she said somewhat sheepishly. “I was completely clueless.” Stewart is absolutely not alone at these Olympics. Fans at all sorts of stadiums are going to sports they’ve never seen. The British public wanted to see this spectacle, the Olympics — to be part of the action, no matter the sport. A complex ticketing process fueled this desire. London organizers were faced a huge demand for tickets, since most of this island nation of 63 million can get to London within a day or so, and the capital itself has 8 million potential ticket buyers. Not everyone was going to get into high-demand sports like athletics, where British favourite Jessica Ennis took gold in the heptathlon. In hopes of being equitable, organizers established a lottery system in which people blindly registered for tickets and handed over their credit cards before they knew what — if any — tickets they were getting. Some people put down thousands of pounds (dollars) in hopes of getting to see Usain Bolt run — only to find themselves at table tennis or archery. The sports themselves recognized this conundrum and responded with how-to guides. Take water polo. A giant video screen introduces newbies to the sport. One video sketches basic rules, including the number of players and size of the pool. Another describes three standard scoring techniques, causing a more experienced fan to mutter “it’s not called a ’bounce’ shot, it’s a ’skip’ shot!” Local children put together another video, explaining the sport using rubber ducks in an inflatable pool. One of the alleged rules — do not splash your opponent — might seem to be completely ignored as fans watch a churning mass of arms and legs in water, but never mind. And there appears to be no video that explains a sport in which much of the action is underwater and unseen. But fans like Maria Ramos could care less about the rules. “It’s fun to come — just to take in the atmosphere,” she said. “It’s a girl’s dream to see all these Greek Adonis-es in Speedos.” At beach volleyball, organizers simply assume their fans know nothing about the sport but want to be entertained. In a Circus Maximus atmosphere, fans are directed by a showman, who tells them when to clap and to stand up for set points. Even brief pauses are filled with dancers starting conga lines. People party on to the late hours — and a stan-

At a recent match, the announcer dubbed Latvia’s Aleksandrs Samoilovs “the Lion King” because of his distinctive mane of blond hair. The fans jumped on the idea. From then on, every time Samoilovs stepped back to serve, a group of Australians began to sing “In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonight...” And just in case they want to identify what they are seeing, a video screen offers helpful clues like “block!” or “SPIKE!” This ain’t Wimbledon, that’s for sure. But fun and games like this are part of the reason that fans are willing to pay to see anything — any-

thing — just to be part of the London Olympics. And the response from organizers has been to play on every stereotype and gag to help spectators along. At water polo, a ticket taker was using a little polo pony on a stick —with swim cap and goggles — to direct fans to their seats. It was not clear how many got the joke. But others were prepared. Simon Chow of Essex decided he was going to bone up on water polo before taking his family to the match. “It’s the Olympics,” he said. “You want to try to watch sports you don’t normally.” His son, Michael, 10, was surprised at how much he liked being in the arena. “I thought it was going to be rubbish,” he said. “But it was better than I thought.”

A Surgical Plight by Paul E. Hardy, MD In 2010, Dr. Paul Hardy wrote a book entitled Surgical Heights, which followed the life of a surgeon, Dr. Jim Smythe in practice at Lakefield Regional Hospital. This book is a prequel to that one, and describes the earlier training stage of the same young surgeon. The first novel found a wide audience and I know this one will too. People who are presently in the profession or those of us who are curious about the language and the procedures used for the benefit of our health, will enjoy this fast paced story. The characters here are ordinary people in many ways, but their place in the medical field puts an extra dimension or expectation as they go from one operaPEGGY tion to another. FREEMAN Dr. Jim Smythe loves surgery and is now in his final year of surgical training. He has done a wide range of operations because of the set up at Lakeland, and has developed the ‘gut instinct” that tells him when things are not as they should be. Such is the case of Mrs. Doyle, who has come in to emergency with abdominal pain, and is examined by Jim. He feels that there is more to her stomach ache than it appears so he has referred her to his superior, Dr. Baker, and left the hospital for home. Later, the patient went home believing she had been released. Now, it’s 1:45 a.m. and she’s back in, she’s in ICU and she’s coded. The Dr.ama of the “code” is riveting as the team of nurses, anesthetists and doctors combine their knowledge and experience to save a life. Sometimes a rescue is not to be, Mrs. Doyle succumbs from a “splenic artery aneurysm.” All through the cases handled in this story, there runs a dialogue, between the more experienced doctors and the students, that teaches, informs and reminds of the details involved. The teaching never stops, and the reader is learning too. But what happens when a busy surgeon finds that someone has made a complaint against him to the Medical Licensing Authority, and he may be sued. Even with a good lawyer the case could spell the end of a career, but Dr. Jim Smythe is obliged to carry on, despite the stress and tension of the pending hearing. The scene in this story of the meeting between the lawyer and the surgeon is well done. We now have a very able doctor, able to save lives, but that knowledge is useless in his present predicament. The very able lawyer, who knows no medicine, must lead and direct if Jim Smythe’s career is to be saved. Where will the author go with this series? We have observed an accomplished surgeon who faced many challenges and pressures, and in this book, a younger student (almost fully trained) with an accusation against him. Dr. Hardy is a local surgeon, and A Surgical Plight will be available on Sept. 7.

Microsoft released Windows 8 to manufacturers last week, and the new operating system will be available to users starting Oct. 26. Windows 8 is distinguished from Microsoft’s previous operating systems by its touch screen and tablet-friendly capabilities. The release likely leaves consumers — tablet users or not — with questions about whether to upgrade. This Qand-A provides some tips to save time, money and headaches. Question: If your family’s PC is on its last leg, should you wait for the Windows 8 release to replace it? Answer: Maybe, but probably not for the reason you ANDR.EA think. ELDR.IDGE If you’re planning to replace your dying PC with a laptop, it’s a good idea to see what Windows 8 will bring to the hardware arena. Windows 8 is designed to work best on a touchscreen device such as a tablet. To take advantage of this, manufacturers are integrating touch-screen capability into laptop-tablet hybrids. These will offer the traditional laptop benefits of keyboards and ports (for USB, HDMI and the like) with a tablet’s light weight and portability. Laptop functionality with a touch screen? Yes, please! If you’re in the market for a desktop PC, go ahead and replace your system whenever your budget allows. Windows is running an upgrade program wherein anyone who buys a new Windows 7 PC can purchase a Windows 8 upgrade for $14.99 through Jan. 31. After Windows 8 been on the market for a couple of months, and if you’ve heard nothing but favorable reports, you can upgrade at minimal cost. On the other hand, if early adopters find the new OS less than perfect, you’ll be thanking your lucky stars you didn’t wait for it to be pre-installed on your new PC. Question: I’m excited about the new design of Windows 8. Should I upgrade when it comes out? Answer: I’m never inclined to recommend that you pay to be a guinea pig to a massive design change by Microsoft. Let the nerds have at least a couple of months with it. That way, you can make sure you aren’t investing in the next Windows Vista, which was widely considered to be a disappointment. My concern about Windows 8 is also what makes it exciting: It’s a hugely different OS. Layout, navigation and application launch are all entirely different from previous versions of Windows.

Should I update to Windows 8?

I didn’t as much jump off the board as I did lunge towards the pole, my hands clutching wildly for its saving pull. The instructor, perhaps thinking to cure my fear or merely being sadistic in nature, removed the pole from the water. It was sink or swim. I did neither. My unfortunate classmate had stuck around treading water so as not to miss a second of my stellar performance. All I could see was her smirking face. I went for it like, well, like a person Dr.owning. Using her face like a cork, I pushed her under long enough to grab a lungful of air before she popped madly to the surface, only to have me push her down again. After our see-sawing had sufficiently amused the instructor and our peers, he reluctantly relinquished the pole. To the relief of my classmate I let go of her head and grabbed for the pole instead. I have maintained a healthy fear of water ever since. I don’t know what became of that classmate; perhaps she grew up with a healthy fear of red heads. So how I have the gall to judge the performance of an athlete leaping from the rafters into an Olympic pool is beyond me. But gall of Olympic proportions I seem to have and then some. Ah well, as the saying goes, someone needs to stand on the sidelines to cheer when the parade goes by. Cheer, mind you, not jeer.

WINDOWS: Hiccups While a preview/ developer version has been available since September 2011 for the tech community to flush out the bugs, there will inevitably be hiccups discovered at its official launch. To get you to adopt the new operating system early, Microsoft is offering the bargain price of $39.99 through Jan. 31 to upgrade to Windows 8 Pro for any system currently running Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the rush? On Jan. 30, take a survey of people whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had some time to use it and decide then if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s awesome or awful. Question: What are the early reports from people testing out Windows 8? Answer: Results are mixed. Some people find that the look and layout is different but relatively intuitive. The integration of ribbon menus is familiar, and launching programs from tiles on the home screen has become second nature through widespread use of smartphones and tablets. Others find the interface is frustrating on a standard desktop system. They argue that the ability to use a keyboard and mouse feels cobbled together, leading to menus disappearing while they attempt to enter information. Apps on the home page are overwhelming, leading to an annoying game of â&#x20AC;&#x153;find the program I wantâ&#x20AC;? among the visual sea of tiles. Experiencing a smooth transition will likely come down to what type of system you use it on and if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re able to approach it with an open mind, resisting the urge to try to make it conform to the Windows layout youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re used to.

Cec, owner of the great outdoors store, Red Deer Lock and Key, in the fifties and sixties once shot a favorite picture of me fishing the run from very close to the location of the tribute sign. Bright days are cutthroat days, and lately there has been an increase in one of the harder questions readers ask: â&#x20AC;&#x153;howâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the North Ram?â&#x20AC;? It is virtually impossible to get an up to date report anywhere. Whatever the South Ram looks like at its lower bridge is never a reliable indication. To find out for sure, you have to go the whole way, risking life and limb running the gauntlet of careening logging trucks. It is a long, hard way to go to find the North Ram blown out and unfishable. On Heritage Day I spent some time chatting with an old friend about many things, including what suggestions I had for catching the huge Bull trout in the Wigwam River in B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s east Kootenays. He also mentioned that he and a friend had just done the unthinkable:

gone to the North Ram at the start of a long weekend. When they got there, it was not where it should be. A characteristic of many great cutthroat rivers is that floods can move them and their channels and gravels from one side of a valley to another; west slope cutthroats have evolved to thrive on this movement. When they found the river, it was cloudy and high enough that wading across it was not a good idea. No fish were rising, but they caught several good cutts, all on dry flies. Despite the water conditions, they thought they should have been doing better until they caught up with the group of anglers they had been fishing behind. Even with cutthroats, first is best. Many readers have been expressing frustration at trying to find a copy of the current Fly Rod & Reel magazine to read the superb Ted Williams article, Black Bile from the North, about Albertaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dirty oil pipelining problems. Long-time reader and friend, Don Hayden has found the article on the internet and suggests readers go to Fly Rod & Reel Magazine 2012 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; August â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Conservation.

Facebook is no place for adults, teens to mix Dear Annie: Recently, my husband and I chaperoned a seven-day office-sponsored trip for high school sophomores and juniors. My husband, who is in his 50s, is very outgoing. While on the trip, he developed quite a following among the teens, especially the girls, many of whom developed a little crush on him. I brought up the possibility that these girls would want to friend him on Facebook, and we both agreed it would not be a good idea. Now that MITCHELL we are home, & SUGAR however, he has, in fact, friended several of the kids, mostly girls. I do not have a good feeling about this, especially when so many innocent actions could be interpreted as criminal acts. My husband has worked hard to move up the ladder at his company, and I worry that he might be jeopardizing his career. I have asked that he block these kids, but he says it’s no big deal and I’m overreacting. He says he wants to watch them grow up. I have explained my reservations, saying these kids are not his peers, and as the adult, he needs to be more responsible.

ANNIE ANNIE

REGISTRATIONS

My husband and his friends share a risque sense of humour, and who knows what would happen if these kids saw those comments? While it’s OK that he has friended our children’s friends (who are a bit older), I don’t think it’s appropriate to do so with children who have no ties to us. I fear this foolishness will cause problems. I don’t want teenagers stalking us. I don’t want them to see photographs of us on our children’s Facebook pages that may not be appropriate for these teens. Am I being oversensitive or not? — To Be or Not To Be Overreacting Dear To Be: We understand your trepidation, although you are expecting a worst-case scenario that may not happen. However, when your husband agreed not to friend these kids, he should have kept his word, and now he needs to back away. Make sure he confines their access so they are not privy to anything personal or inappropriate while he gradually unfriends them. And we recommend you keep an eye on things to be sure no lines are crossed. You seem to have a better grasp of the pitfalls than your husband. Dear Annie: I am a widow in my late 60s. Four years ago, I moved to be closer to my children and grandchildren, and it’s been wonderful. Recently, I reconnected with an old boyfriend, and we have fallen in love. We want to spend what time we have left together. The problem is, I would have to move to his home, which is three hours away. I’m already experiencing tears and hard

feelings from my family. The adults I can deal with, but what do I tell my little grandchildren who say, “We had you first, Gram”? How do I make them understand that my love for them will never change and that we can still visit? — Sad Gram Dear Gram: It’s sweet that your family will miss you so much, but the only way to make the children understand is to let them live through the experience. You are only three hours away. When they see how often you visit, call, write, email, Skype, whatever, they will be able to accept your new circumstances more easily. Dear Annie: I have a solution for “Maria in Ohio,” who asked how to word wedding invitations when the parents are divorced and remarried to others. This is how our family now handles things: “Together with their parents, Bride Jane’s name and Groom Joe’s name invite you to share in their joy as they exchange wedding vows,” followed by the date, time and location. This is the format, no matter who is paying for the event or how much, and it doesn’t matter how many parents or stepparents are involved. (When did life get so complicated?) — B.S.

Thursday, Aug. 9 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DATE: Gillian Anderson, 44; Melanie Griffith, 55; David Steinberg, 70 THOUGHT OF THE DAY: Venus speaks in harmony with Neptune, indicating a touch of enchantment, especially in matters of love and romance. We have the hope necessary to allow love to blossom, especially in the early moments of interaction. It will be a great day, enjoy! HAPPY BIRTHDAY: It may take skill and practice to identify what you feel. Attractions come on strong, encouraging you to look at your expectations in love, and point the way to great change. It will be a great year, enjoy! NADIYA ARIES (March 21-April SHAH 19): There comes a time when you realize, stewing over resentments of the past is petty and getting in the way of your happiness, now and for the future. The great thing is that life is constantly moving you towards healing and renewal, as becomes clear today. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You’re feeling a notable resistance, but might find it harder to place your finger on it. Identifying the source is hard, but putting it to the side for now is easier. Come back to it in a better state, and you’ll see more clearly why you feel as you do. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Every feeling, every emotion is wise. It comes up to let us know where we want change, where we wish we were more contented, and what nurtures us. In this highly emotional day, you see the wisdom rather quickly, making it also productive. CANCER (June 21-July 22): While every opportunity can’t be ideal, you can make it an enjoyable ride. You do get a chance that will move you towards your goal, even if the root does not seem to be direct. It’s part of a loving, prosperous plan for your life. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): People across the world have remarkably universal desires. You’re part of the human family, and like anyone, want to be loved. Don’t chide yourself for it. Claim the uncomfortable feelings that come between you and the closeness you want, and you resolve the hurt for good. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You have the skill you need to make the most of an opportunity rushing towards you. It’s going to require that you move beyond just those activities you’ve been comfortable with. Be willing to learn. You have more dexterity than you realize. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Up until very recently, everyone had to be physically active. Our bodies were not made to sit at a keyboard for hours at a time. You’re antsy for what you think is a change, but it’s really a desire to be more mobile. While running errands, you solve a conundrum. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You’re considering a regurgitation of what you’ve already done. If you do, you’ll soon be bored. What needs to change most is your methods. Do the work fresh and new. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Paying your dues” holds the idea that once you’ve worked in the trenches long enough, you eventually earn your place in the sun. You have worked hard. The rewards that find you now are supposed to happen. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): A great idea comes through with more determination than you anticipate. Give it the time it needs. Despite the responsibilities in front of you, take even the smallest moment to pursue genius. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): When we’re fans of an artist, there is a quiet pride we feel watching his or her career blossom. Our adoration provides a personal connection, even if we never meet them. Let one of these personas inspire you now. A story of success makes your next move clear. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You rightly deserve to be proud, but might find a voice of self-criticism still doubting your path. For now, keep an opportunity close to the chest, so you have the safety and freedom to take advantage of the chance in front of you. Nadiya Shah is a consulting astrologer, syndicated sun sign columnist and holds a master’s degree in the Cultural Study of Cosmology and Divination, from the University of Kent, U.K. Her column appears daily in the Advocate.

Mathew Dumba was a virtual no-brainer. Kayle Doetzel . . . not so much. Both Red Deer Rebels defencemen are currently overseas with different versions of Team Canada, Dumba with the U20 crew for the four-game Canada/Russia Challenge which starts today in Yaroslavl (9 a.m., TSN2) and Doetzel with the U18 squad preparing for the Memorial of Ivan Hlinka tournament starting Saturday in Slovakia and the Czech Republic. Dumba, selected seventh overall by the Minnesota Wild in this year’s NHL entry draft, was pretty much a lock for the Canada-Russia series, which for Hockey Canada is replacing the national team summer evaluation camp for the 2013 world junior championship. Doetzel, meanwhile, wasn’t necessarily a favourite to be named to the U18 team follow-

RED DEER REBELS ing a selection camp which concluded Monday at Toronto. But to his credit, the Rebels’ 201112 rookie of the year was one of seven defencemen selected from the field of 12 candidates. “There was a good crop of high-quality defencemen at the camp and I know that just based on last season, he was in tough to make the team going into camp,” said Rebels GM/ head coach Jesse Wallin. “He obviously acquitted himself very well. He’s a guy who had to go in there and earn a spot, so he did that and good on him. It’s going to be a great experience for him and he’ll come back a better player for it.” Wallin certainly never doubled Doetzel’s work ethic and commitment to off-season training. “Kayle has been training hard,” said Wallin. “He had a disappointing finish to last season when he got hurt in Janu-

ary and didn’t play again. I know he’s been training hard and getting prepared for this season and obviously it paid off for him, making that (Canadian U18) team.” With the loss of Aaron Borejko, Justin Weller and Alex Petrovic to graduation and the pro ranks, Doetzel will take on a heavier workload during the upcoming season. Wallin admitted the coaching staff has big plans for the 17-year-old. “He’s going to be a key guy for us,” said the Rebels bench boss. “When he came in last year he was feeling his way around at the start of the season and then as he got more experience the more confident he became and he ended up being a real reliable guy. “He played a bit of power play, but that’s not going to be his forte. He’s a real solid, steady, dependable guy who

plays with an edge. He became a reliable guy for us and we missed him when he wasn’t in the lineup.” Meanwhile, Czech defenceman Jan Bittner has cleared any hurdles that would prevent him from checking into training camp Aug. 25. “He’s all ready to go,” said Wallin, in reference to the Rebels’ lone pick in the CHL import draft in June. “We’ve got his flights booked and documentation all taken care of. He’ll be here for camp.” Wallin noted that prospects Scott Ferguson and Spencer Kryczka could also attend training camp. Ferguson, who helped the Red Deer Optimist Rebels capture the Canadian midget AAA championship in April, intends to suit up with the Camrose Kodiaks for the 2012-13 season, while Kryczka played with another AJHL team — the Okotoks Oilers — last winter.

Canada caps day with trio of medals BY THE CANADIAN PRESS LONDON — Carol Huynh and Adam van Koeverden returned to the Olympic podium Wednesday while Mark Oldershaw delivered his famous family its first medal in 64 years and eight Olympics. Van Koeverden raced to silver in men’s kayaking while Oldershaw followed about 15 minutes later with a bronze in canoeing. Later in the day, Huynh captured bronze in women’s wrestling. The medals boosted Canada’s total at the London Games to 14 — one gold, four silver, nine bronze, just four shy of what the country managed in Beijing. Winning medals on the same day at the same venue was special for van Koeverden and Oldershaw. The pair have trained together out of the Burloak Canoe Club in Oakville, Ont., since they were teenagers. “Oh man, I’m happy for him,” van Koeverden said of Oldershaw. For van Koeverden, it was his fourth Olympic medal. He won gold and bronze at the Athens Games in 2004 and a silver in Beijing four years ago. After setting the pace with a blazing start in the men’s K-1 1,000-metre final, van Koeverden lost gold to friend and longtime training partner Eirik Veras Larsen of Norway in the final stretch. “I started the way I wanted to,” said van Koeverden, an Oakville native. “I was super-comfortable. Going through the 500 I had tons of energy. It’s not a case of a screwed-up race plan, this is a case of one guy in the whole world being better than me. And I can live with that. “Seven billion people, one guy’s better. It’s OK.” Oldershaw, who comes from a family of Olympic paddlers, was a full second out of fourth place with 250 metres remaining in the C-1 1,000 but powered his way onto the podium. What made it extra special for the thirdgeneration Olympian was that almost his entire family was at Dorney Lake to share his joy. “My mom, my dad, my sister, my girlfriend, cousins, uncles, aunts. Everyone

Canada’s Carol Huynh celebrates her win over Isabelle Sambou of Senegal in the Bronze medal match in 48kg Women’s Freestyle Wrestling at the Olympic Games in London on Wednesday. Huynh was just part of a great day for Canada in which Adam van Koeverden also won silver and Mark Oldershaw won bronze. is here,” the Burlington, Ont., native said, before breaking off to give his mother, Connie, a big hug. “I’m so happy to be a Canadian and to be an Oldershaw. To represent both is a great feeling.” Huynh made it a three-medal day for Canada when she beat Isabelle Sambou of Senegal to finish third in the 48-kilogram category. Huynh, who grew up in Hazelton, B.C., but now lives in Calgary, won gold at the

2008 Games but missed out on a chance to defend her crown when she lost to Japan’s Hitomi Obara in the semifinals. “It’s fantastic. I’d prefer it was gold, but I’ll take bronze. I’m just so happy to be here and represent Canada,” Huynh said. “I would love to be on top of the podium again. What an amazing feeling that was four years ago, but I’m still pretty happy.”

Riggers win game two in wild affair BY DANNY RODE ADVOCATE STAFF Riggers 13 White Sox 12 It may well be the wildest game the Red Deer Riggers have ever been involved in. Trailing 12-4 heading into the bottom of the eighth inning, the Riggers scored five times in the eighth and four times in the ninth to pull out a 13-12 victory over the Parkland White Sox and even their best-ofthree Sunburst Baseball League and provincial senior AAA semifinal series 1-1, at Great Chief Park, Wednesday. The teams meet Friday at 7:30 p.m. in Sherwood Park. The teams were deadlocked at 4-4 after five innings, but the White Sox scored three times in the top of the sixth on a three-run home run by Kyle Radke off Red Deer starter Brant Stickel. They added five more runs in the seventh off reliever Joel Peterman, who settled down and eventually picked up the win. “Just when it seems

Red Deer Rigger pitcher Brant Stickel delivers a second-inning pitch against the Parkland White Sox at Great Chief Park during Sunburst provincial playoff baseball Wednesday. like we’re falling apart and the guys may be getting down on each other, someone steps up and makes a big play,” said Riggers veteran Matt Fay. The biggest play, other than at the plate, may have come in the top

of the ninth. With one runner on Adam Baron sliced a ball toward right field. However, second baseman Denver Wik made a spectacular diving stop and got Baron at first. That helped get Peterman out of the inning.

At the plate the Riggers scored five times off White Sox starter Josh Turner and reliever Jordan Denault in the eighth, with the biggest blow a three-run home run by Jason Chatwood to cap the scoring. “That gave everyone a

huge lift,” said Fay. Denault started the ninth, but gave way to Brad Michaleski after walking Curtis Mazurkewich. Shayne Court lined a single off Michaleski and after Curtis Bailey struck out Chad Northcott singled in Mazurkewich. Denver Wik lined a run-scoring single and Matt Fay walked to load the bases. Northcott scored on a wild pitch to tie the game and Jaret Chatwood once again walked. Jason Chatwood bounced out, forcing Wik at the plate. However, with Kerry Boon at the plate and with a one ball, two strike count Michaleski threw a pitch in the dirt that catcher Scott Hoekstra couldn’t find in his feet. Michaleski also came on to try to pick up the ball and when he did so Fay scored. “That was crazy,” said Fay. “I’ve never seen anything like it. But we kept fighting, which is something we’ve done all season. There wasn’t anyone who believed we couldn’t come back.”

BRIEFS Duncan second at senior men’s championship EDMONTON — Pete Duncan of Red Deer played bogey-free golf and carded a 3-under 68 on Wednesday to sit second after the opening round of the 54-hole Alberta Senior Men’s Championship at the Edmonton Country Club. Duncan, who recorded three birdies, trailed Frank Van Dornick of Camrose — a multiple winner of the Central Alberta Amateur held annually at the Red Deer Golf and Country Club — by a single stroke. David Schultz of Calgary shot a 69, good for third spot after the first 18 holes. Merv Dusyk of Red Deer was tied for 10th after one round with a 72, while Lacombe’s Jim Hargreaves and Keith Newton of Olds were tied for 17th, two of eight competitors to check in with a 73. Aro Dudley of Ponoka and Les Swelin of Sundre turned in 74s and five other Central Alberta golfers managed to break 80 — Tom Skinner of Red Deer (77), Scott Robertson of Pine Hills (77), Tim Gyori of Red Deer (77), Ken Evanecz of Red Deer (78) and Ron

STORIES FROM B6

REBELS: Up in the air “It’s not 100 per cent that (Ferguson) will not be at our camp even though he’s apparently made a commitment to Camrose,” said Wallin. “It’s the same situation with Kryczka. It’s still kind of up in the air. Either one, or both, might or might not be in camp.” The Rebels training camp opens with registration on the 25th and concludes Aug. 29 with the Black and White intrasquad game. Red Deer’s first of six preseason games is Sept. 1 versus the Prince George Cougars in St. Albert and the club opens regularseason play Sept. 21 at home to the Calgary Hitmen. Notes: Former Rebel Jeff Smith (1998-2002) has signed a one-year contract with the Hull Stingrays of the British Elite League. Smith played last season in the Netherlands, scoring one goal and adding 12 assists in 37 games with The Hague . . . Another former Rebel, Ponoka native Mark Louis (2007-08), has secured a contract with the Phoenix Coyotes after playing Canadian university hockey at St. Francis Xavier the last three seasons. gmeachem@reddeeradvocate.com

BALL: Gave us everything he had As for the winning run, he said as soon as he saw Hoekstra turn and look at him he knew “he didn’t know where the ball was and I felt I could make it.” Stickel wasn’t sharp from the outset and a rain delay, coupled with him twisting his ankle, didn’t help matters. “It was a tough today, but he gave us everything he had,” said Fay. “Petey

Griffths still has chance to make cut Play was suspended in the Canadian Men’s Amateur Golf Championship at Cumberland and Rockford, Ont., on Wednesday, leaving 38 players to complete the second round today. Included among the players left on the course was Zach Griffiths of Red Deer. Griffiths, who shot a 2-over 74 in Tuesday’s opening round, had to come in today with at least a 73 to make the cut, projected to be 147 over two days. Mitch Bach of Sundre fired a second-round 71 and missed the cut after opening with a 78. Also ousted after two rounds were Red Deer golfers Carson Kallis (76-79—155) and Brett Pasula (78-77—155). Stephane Dubois of Brantford, Ont., held the second round lead with a 134 total (68-66).

Thorogood tied for fifth CALGARY — Brayden Thorogood of Sundre shot a 78 to finish tied for fifth overall in a McLennan Ross Sun Junior Golf Tour event on Wednesday at Pinebrook.

struggled that first inning, but he’s so mentally tough he came back and gave us two good innings and a chance to come back.” Court led the Riggers with three hits while Jason Chatwood, Boon and Wik, who also had two walks, added two hits each. Radke had five RBIs on a home run and double to go with a single for Parkland. Baron had three hits and was hit twice. The winner of the series faces the winner of the Fort Saskatchewan-St. Albert series. drode@reddeeradvocate.com

MEDALS: Feel great Martine Dugrenier of Laval, Que., had a chance to add a second wrestling podium finish, but she lost to Battsetseg Soronzonbold in the bronze-medal bout of the 63-kilogram division. Elsewhere, Damian Warner of London, Ont., sits third halfway through the men’s decathlon. The final five events go Thursday. “I feel great. I made it a goal to just come out and have fun and I knew the score would just come,” Warner said. “My hurdles are strong, 1500 metres is strong, discus is getting better and I’m consistent in the pole vault. “The score and placing after Day 1 doesn’t surprise me, I have very high expectations of myself.” It was a good morning on the track as Cam Levins of Black Creek, B.C., advanced to the semifinals in the men’s 5,000-metres, while Jessica Smith of North Vancouver, B.C., moved on in the women’s 800. Levins built off his impressive 11thplace finish in the 10,000 metres earlier in the Games and set a personalbest time of 13 minutes 18.29 seconds to advance out of the heats. “I’m glad to have made it through,” said Levins. “I was more confident in the 5K than the 10K. I knew I just needed to get to the last lap and go.” Smith advanced by finishing second

BP Braves go 0-3 at provincials The Red Deer Boston Pizza Braves went 0-3 at the bantam AA baseball provincials at St. Albert. The Braves fell 10-0 to the South Jasper Place Black Jays in the consolation final after losing 17-6 to the eventual champion Strathmore Reds and 15-3 to the Acme Red Sox. Brad Pope worked five innings — throwing 89 pitches — on the Red Deer mound versus the Reds, while Carter O’Donnell was selected as the Braves’ MVP of the contest. O’Donnell pitched against Acme and was named Red Deer MVP. Lynx Ladine and Jhon Tasinski were impressive in the outfield. Nate Beginson was on the Braves’ mound in the consolation final and received MVP honours.

in her heat. It was a slow group and came down to a sprint for the finish. “I just stuck in there,” she said. The Canadian women’s soccer team received some good news as it went through final preparations for Thursday’s bronze-medal game with France. FIFA announced that a probe into the behaviour of players following a heartbreaking semifinal loss to the U.S. wouldn’t be completed until after the Olympic tournament. A number of Canadian players, including inspirational captain Christine Sinclair, criticized the Norwegian referee and could have been banned for the third-place match. “Good news this morning,” Canada coach John Herdman said. “We were on tenter hooks, in danger of losing a key player, but more, just the danger of the game losing an opportunity of seeing such a great player playing in a bronze-medal match.” Montreal’s Meaghan Benfeito and Roseline Filion of Laval, Que., who combined to win bronze in women’s 10-metre platform synchronized div-

ing, both qualified for the semifinal of the individual event. In individual show jumping, 10-time Olympian Ian Millar of Perth, Ont., finished tied for ninth, while defending gold medallist Eric Lamaze of Schomberg, Ont., failed to make the final round. “I think my mare is tired. She has jumped a lot of big courses here and she hasn’t a lot of experience,” Lamaze said. “I did not wake up this morning imagining myself on the podium so I am not too sad.” In other Canadian results: — In track and field, Jared Connaughton of New Haven, P.E.I., and Toronto’s Aaron Brown failed to advance to the final of the men’s 200 metres. — Hilary Stellingwerff of Grand Bend, Ont., and Winnipeg’s Nicole Sifuentes failed to advance of the seminfinals of the women’s 1,500 metres. — Tory Nyhaug of Coquitlam, B.C., finished 20th in the men’s seeding event in BMX cycling with a time of 39.515 seconds.

B8 RED DEER ADVOCATE Thursday, Aug. 9, 2012

Cipolla tried to make a match of it in the second set. Leading 2-1, Cipolla had break point in the fourth game but Murray rallied to even the set at 2-2. But the 25-year-old Scot came back to break Cipollaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s serve to go ahead 3-2. Cipolla again had a break point in the sixth game but couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t finish it off. Murray broke Cipollaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s serve to end the match. It kept his run of winning sets going, following Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s his 6-2, 6-1, 6-4 victory over Federer, who is not at the Rogers Cup this year. Murray said Raonic will present a different style of play from Cipolla. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My opponent today was serving around 150, 160 kilometres an hour and Milos can serve 100 kilometres faster than that,â&#x20AC;? said Murray. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My opponent today was hitting with a lot of slice. Milos doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hit that much slice and goes for a lot of power.â&#x20AC;? Later, top-seeded Novak Djokovic of Serbia defeated Bernard Tomic of Australia 6-2, 6-3 on Wednesday to advance to the third round of the Rogers Cup. The 25-year-old Djokovic is trying for his third Rogers Cup championship having won the event last year and in 2007. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously for the first match it was a decent performance,â&#x20AC;? said Djokovic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was struggling to find the rhythm, obviously, as most of the players who came late from London do and did. You had some surprising losses today. (Juan Martin) Del Potro and (Jo-Wilfried) Tsonga out. Djokovic entered the tournament ranked second in the world while 19-year-old Tomic was ranked 49th.

day night and Monday and then get ourselves ready to come. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t back at home until 2:30, did press for about two and a half, three hours after the match and the next morning started again at 8 for about another three, four hours. So it was a long, busy couple of days.â&#x20AC;? He said he decided to come to Toronto to see how he felt when he arrived and had a practice on the courts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt okay this morning when I practiced and decided to give it a go,â&#x20AC;? he said. Murray was also adjusting from grass courts to a hard court when he played on Wednesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel a little sore in the joints and stuff a little bit. I mean I feel tired mentally. I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really slept much in the last few days so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably catching up to me a little bit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I hit the ball pretty well. After playing for eight weeks on grass pretty much, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very different here. The ball is very quick compared with Wimbledon. It also bounces much higher. The court is much slower as well. So there are a lot of things to change.â&#x20AC;? During the second set, Murray had some problems with a sore knee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s okay,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just a little sore. I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t played a match on a hard court for four months and havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t practiced on a hard court for four months, either ... on the hard courts the knees and the ankles and the hips take quite a fair pounding.â&#x20AC;? Murray, ranked fourth in the world and the second seed in the Rogers Cup, had little trouble with Cipolla, 28, who into the week ranked 97th in the world.

ROGERS CUP THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Andy Murray of Great Britain has had no time to rest since winning the Olympic gold medal on Sunday. But after doing extensive media interviews over the past few days, he was able to catch a flight to Toronto on Tuesday and played his first Rogers Cup match on Wednesday. He had an easy time of it against Italyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Flavio Cipolla, winning 6-1, 6-3 but the degree of difficulty will soar on Thursday when he takes on Milos Raonic of Thornhill, Ont., in a third-round match. Raonic defeated Murray in the semifinals of the Barcelona Open nearly four months ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yeah, it will be tough,â&#x20AC;? Murray said after Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s match, his voice and body language showing that he was still obviously tired. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll obviously be motivated playing in his own country. You know heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s improved a lot over the last year, year and a half. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playing really, really good tennis. Very big guy with a big game. Serves well and hits the ball very hard.â&#x20AC;? Murray has had a whirlwind schedule since defeating Roger Federer at Wimbledon in straight sets to win the gold medal. But he decided to come to the Rogers Cup to at least give it a try. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You know, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just not when I finished the match and played the mixed (doubles). It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t end there. We just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t relax on Sun-

First time Glenn, Burris facing each other after switch BY THE CANADIAN PRESS HAMILTON, Ont. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Quarterback Kevin Glenn and the Calgary Stampeders have yet to win a game on the road, so what better place to do it than the field he called home for the past three seasons. The Stamps meet the Hamilton Tiger-Cats today at Ivor Wynne Stadium in a CFL match-up featuring the first meeting between veteran quarterbacks who switched spots in the off-season. But Glenn doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think his familiarity with Ivor Wynne will give him much of an advantage over Ticat pivot Henry Burris â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the man for whom he was traded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He (Burris) still has the crowd behind him,â&#x20AC;? said Glenn, 33, who left Hamilton as a starting quarterback only to join Calgary as the back-up to Drew Tate. But when Tate went down with a shoulder injury earlier this season, Glenn was back at the helm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You know (the crowdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) going to come out and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to boo me,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You know theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to get loud and try to disrupt the offence. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what they do. But at the same time, I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a good game . . . Once we cross those lines, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m

the enemy now. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve played here before. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all gonna be in fun.â&#x20AC;? Glenn came to Hamilton in 2009, leading them to 27 victories in his three years â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including playoff appearances in all three years and a spot in the Eastern Final last year. But Hamilton sent him to Calgary for Burris, who had struggled for the Stamps and had been replaced at starting QB by Tate. Both men deny they have anything to prove, nor any scores to settle. Glenn currently has a 70.3 per cent completion rate for 1,108 yards, six touchdowns and four interceptions. Burris has a 69.7 per cent completion rate for 1,540 yards, 15 TDs and three interceptions. Calgary has a 2-3 record, last in the West, and is coming off a bye week (as are the Ticats) which they hope has put enough distance between themselves and a 34-8 drubbing they took from the B.C. Lions back on July 28. So Glenn said the game has much more significance for him than just meeting his old teammates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting back to .500,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting a win on the road. Coming off a bye week trying to establish some momentum for the rest of the season. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of things at stake.â&#x20AC;?

U.S. dominates track, Jamaicans ease into 200 final 2012 SUMMER OLYMPICS BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The United States dominated Wednesday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s track events at the London Games, taking three out of four golds, including in the biggest race of the night â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 200 metres. That prize finally went to Allyson Felix, who twice missed out and had to settle for silvers at the Beijing and Athens Olympics. Felix won in 21.88 seconds, beating Jamaicaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, who won the 100 four nights earlier, by .21 seconds. American Carmelita Jeter added bronze to the silver she won in the 100 metres. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I mean, finally. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a long time coming,â&#x20AC;? Felix said, reflecting on her two previous Olympic losses to Jamaican Veronica Campbell-Brown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To twice lose to the same person, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been tough. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all paying off.â&#x20AC;? Campbell-Brown finished fourth, unable to become the first woman in track and field to win gold medals in the same individual event at three consecutive Olympics. Aries Merritt added to the perfect sprint night for the United States, coming first in the 110-metre hurdles final ahead of compatriot Jason Richardson. Brittney Reese won the long jump title soon afterward to complete the triple for the Americans. Adding to the nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s U.S. successes, Misty MayTreanor and Kerri Walsh Jennings took their third consecutive Olympic beach volleyball gold medal, beating fellow Americans April Ross and Jennifer Kessy. It was the Olympic farewell for May-Treanor, who has said she would like to move on. The nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s successes brought the United States to a total of 34 golds â&#x20AC;&#x201D; two behind China, which topped the rankings with 36 by end of Wednesday. Both have 22 silver medals each, while the U.S. has 25 bronzes to Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 19. In the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 200, Jamaicaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Usain Bolt won his semifinal heat in 20.18 seconds, moving closer to becoming the first man with two Olympic golds in the 200 metres. The final is Thursday night. Events on the track began taking centre-stage early in the day. Two women who created international headlines made appearances in the 800 metres. It was Caster Semenyaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first, and Sarat Attarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one and only. Attar, wearing a white headscarf, green longsleeved shirt and black leggings, became the first Saudi woman to compete in Olympic athletics. With the 80,000-capacity crowd cheering, she finished her heat in 2 minutes, 44.95 seconds â&#x20AC;&#x201D; more than 40 seconds behind the fastest qualifier â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and failed to advance to the semifinals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is the hugest honour to be here to represent the women of Saudi Arabia,â&#x20AC;? Attar said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is an historic moment. I hope it will make a difference.â&#x20AC;? Semenya, making her Olympic debut three years after being forced to undergo gender tests, finished second in her 800 heat. The South African runner was sidelined for nearly a year while track and fieldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s governing body, the IAAF, decided whether to allow her to compete after she won the 2009 world title at age 18. She was tested and eventually cleared to return to action in 2010. Visit kia.ca to learn more.

Meeting called about intersection HALL MEETING TO DISCUSS HWY 11 AND SECONDARY HWY 781 INTERSECTION BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF

SYLVAN FARMERS MARKET MOVES FOR JAZZ Sylvan Lake Farmers’ Market will relocate to Main Street on Aug. 17 for Jazz on the Lake. During the jazz festival, the market will set up on 50th Street from Lakeshore Avenue to 50th Avenue. H.O.T. Dixieland Jazz Band, of Calgary, will be at the market at 5 to 7 p.m. Musicians will roam around the market performing. Admission is free. The market runs from 4 to 7:30 p.m. with about 65 vendors. The market will return to its usual location at the Railway Promenade, at the corner of 46th Street and 49th Avenue, on Aug. 24. The weekly markets will continue until Sept. 28.

Sylvan Lake residents will have an opportunity to discuss how to convince the province to add traffic lights at a contentious local intersection. Wildrose Party MLA Kerry Towle is hosting the Aug. 21 town hall meeting to discuss the Hwy 11 and Secondary Hwy 781 intersection. Towle, who is MLA for the Innisfail-Sylvan Lake riding, said a petition will be available and letters on hand that residents can send to Transportation Minister Ric

McIver. Many residents want to see traffic lights installed at the intersection, which was the scene of three fatal accidents last year. However, Alberta Transportation has been reluctant to add another set of lights to Hwy 11. Instead, the intersection was changed to a right-in, right-out configuration eliminating left turns. Towle said the Wildrose Party supports reopening the intersection and adding lights. Eliminating left turns at the intersection has meant the province has had to spend millions upgrading other roads and inter-

sections in the area, she said. Other highways in the province have multiple sets of traffic lights on them and she doesn’t see why that can’t happen at this intersection. McIver has been invited to attend the meeting. Towle and Rimbey-Rocky Mountain House-Sundre MLA Joe Anglin have also requested a meeting to discuss their concerns. There has been no word yet from the minister’s office. The town hall meeting starts at 7 p.m. at the Sylvan Lake Community Centre. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

Untold, unexplained mysteries revealed BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF A young school teacher vanished without a trace more than a century ago and her disappearance still baffles historians. Maude Waldbrooke was a teacher at the old Indian Industrial School, which stood west of Red Deer on the north side of the Red Deer River. She vanished one Sunday, never to be heard of again. The date was Aug. 27, 1899. Some thought she had drowned in the Red Deer River. But a number of disturbing and baffling incidents occurred following her disappearance. Cases of arson near the school where she

worked were reported. As well, someone opened gunfire at a staff member at the school. No one was ever apprehended in either case. Years before, in another part of Central Alberta, there was one particular bloody massacre on the shores of what is now known as Pine Lake. An encampment of Cree First Nations were slaughtered by a Blackfoot war party. The people in the area concluded the lake was haunted by the ghosts of the tribes people who were murdered. For many years, the lake was known as Ghost Pine Lake or Devil’s Pine Lake because of the ghosts and apparitions that were claimed to have appeared. On Wednesday, Red Deer historian Michael Dawe threw in bits of history between

Police hunt for man after jewelry heist

Sundre fire chief supports proper boat launch for town BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF Sundre’s fire chief wants to see the community get a boat launch. Marty Butts said the launch would improve safety and provide an economic development boost to the area. “Every town you go through that has a major river has a boat launch,” said Butts on Wednesday. Having a proper access to the river would help emergency responders if someone got into trouble on the river, which is becoming an increasingly popular destination for rafters, canoeists, jet boaters and other users. “We just don’t have a real nice place for people to get in or get out and launch their crafts,” he said. “It’s a safety issue.” Emergency crews now use access points on Crown or private land, but it is not ideal. “It’s a very sketchy situation right

short anecdotes on the mysteries and the untold tales of Red Deer. His stories dated back to the early settlers in Central Alberta. Dawe said there’s a lot of untold and unexplained mysteries in the area. Many haunted tales revolve around the city’s oldest and former hotels like the Arlington, the Windsor, the Alberta and the Alexandra. Dawe said because there were a lot of unexplained deaths and tragedies, people have claimed to have seen ghosts or that the buildings were haunted. Dawe’s talk was one of several Lunch and Learn sessions hosted by Central Alberta Refugee Effort (CARE) at the Hub on Ross Street this month. Contact CARE for information on the next Lunch and Learn session at 403-346-8818. crhyno@reddeeradvocate.com

now,” he said. “Nothing’s for sure because the river changes all the time. “Even the water level comes up and it changes hugely.” A launch point that worked one month won’t be usable the next, he said. Building a proper launch would also give recreational river users a safe place to put their boats in. A campground or day-use may also be developed at the site as part of the project. Butts said there is enthusiasm for the project from both the town and neighbouring county. Provincial funding would be sought to help bankroll the project. “It sounds like everybody is on board with it, the Town of Sundre and the county of Mountain View” he said. “We just have to sit down and hash out a few issues and push it on and get the final approvals from the government.” A cost for the project has not yet been determined. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

Red Deer City RCMP are searching for a man who robbed a jewelry store just as the Bower Place Shopping Centre was closing for business on Monday. City RCMP said around 5 p.m. on Monday, a man entered the Charm Diamond Centre and cut a cable that was securing a jewelry display case. He removed the case filled with an undisclosed amount of jewelry and fled through an exit in the mall. Two employees and one customer were in the store. No one was injured. The man was observed running with the display case towards the southeast exit doors of the mall. The male entered a newer model black two-door Volkswagen Beetle. The vehicle was seen driving in the parking lot towards Zellers. No licence plate was obtained because it was covered with tape. The suspect was seen wearing a green ball cap with white writing and black sunglasses. He wore a grey shirt with dark sleeves, three-quarter length black shorts and white socks and black shoes. The man is described as Caucasian, approximately 30 years old, 1.68 metres (five foot six), heavy build, unshaven blond short beard, flat facial features and curly short brown hair. If you have information about this crime, contact Red Deer City RCMP at 403-343-5575.

BRIEFS Warrant issued for man who may be armed, dangerous An Alberta wide warrant was issued for a Red Deer man who may be armed and is considered dangerous. Curtis Troy Sear, 38, is wanted for possession of stolen property and other warrants. His whereabouts are unknown but he was last seen in Red Deer. Sear has a criminal record spanning more than two decades. On Wednesday evening, police and the RCMP Emergency Response Team (ERT) executed Curtis Troy Sear a search warrant at his residence in the Deer Park neighbourhood. Property believed to be stolen was in the residence but Sear was not there. Sear was released in October 2011 following a four-year federal sentence for forcible confinement, careless use of a firearm, uttering threats to cause death/harm, possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000 and mischief. Sear has an extensive criminal history dating back to the early 1990s that includes 58 criminal convictions for armed robbery, assault with a weapon, possession of an unregistered restricted weapon, forcible confinement, careless use of a firearm, uttering threats, break and enter, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, escape lawful custody, failing to remain at the scene of an accident, possession of a weapon, possession of a scheduled substance, parole violation and theft. Sear is described as 1.85 metres (six foot one), 98 kg (217 pounds), short red hair and hazel eyes. Sear may have a shaved head and has numerous tattoos on his neck and arms, including a swastika and the letters “ACAB” across his right hand knuckles. He may also be wearing glasses. If located, Sear should not be approached as he is considered possibly armed and dangerous. Call Central Alberta Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477.

Two men rescued from Red Deer River Emergency crews were called out after a canoe capsized, throwing two men into the frigid waters on the Red Deer River near Dickson Dam on Wednesday. Shortly before 1 p.m., Innisfail RCMP were dispatched to a 911 call after two men who had been canoeing and fishing got into trouble downstream of the dam in Red Deer County. Police say the two men went overboard after their canoe hit a dead fall in the river. An elderly man who was thrown into the water subsequently lost his life jacket. The other male managed to get to shore and tell people nearby. Innisfail RCMP, coordinating with Red Deer County officers and Innisfail Fire and Rescue, rushed to the scene where they commenced a water rescue. Innisfail Fire Department deployed their

Female motorcyclist killed A female motorcyclist is dead following a twovehicle collision west of Rocky Mountain House on Monday afternoon. Rocky Mountain House RCMP say a motorcycle heading west crossed the centre line about 150 km west of Rocky Mountain House on Hwy 11 and struck an eastbound SUV around noon on Monday. The female driver of the motorcycle was pronounced dead on scene. The male driver of the truck was not injured. Alcohol and speed are not believed to be factors in the collision. The investigation continues. The name of the deceased is not being released.

Woman accused of trying to run mother down with car A Red Deer woman is charged with attempted murder after allegedly trying to run down her mother with a car in north Red Deer last Thursday evening. Red Deer City RCMP responded to a complaint of hit and run near Gaetz Avenue and 67th Street in Red Deer around 8:30 p.m. They allege there was a verbal and physical confrontation between a mother and a daughter in an alley behind the ATB Financial. Witnesses told investigators the daughter got into a truck and backed up quickly, hitting another vehicle and appeared to have driven the vehicle directly at her mother, hitting her. The driver fled the scene. Diane Stewert, 60, was taken to Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre with serious but non-life-threatening injuries. Stacey Stewert, 32, was arrested without incident near Hwy 597 and Hwy 815 by Blackfalds RCMP. She is charged with attempted murder and multiple other charges. A court date has not been set yet.

stalled early next week. “There are two levels of suites going in and 500 seats on either end of the west bowl,” he said. Once the renovations are finished, people will see a big difference in the kinds of events that Westerner Park will be able to attract. “We’ll be able to bid on more national and international events, just strictly because of the increase in size,” said Harms. He said they’ve spoken with the Canadian Curling Association about the Tim Hortons Brier men’s curling championships returning to Red Deer. Total grant funding for this $3.5 million project will come from the province’s Community Facility Enhancement Program ($1.75 million), the City of Red Deer ($1 million), and Red Deer County ($500,000). Westerner Park will make up any shortfalls in the total construction cost. ltester@reddeeradvocate.com

CALGARY — The Alberta Court of Appeal has rejected an accused Guatemalan war criminal’s fight to avoid extradition to the United States on immigration charges. Jorge Vinicio Orantes Sosa was arrested in Lethbridge in January, 2011. He is accused of lying to immigration officials about his military past when he applied for U.S. citizenship. Sosa, who has Canadian citizenship as well, is also wanted by Guatemalan authorities for the alleged massacre of civilians in the village of Dos Erres during that country’s civil war. In a written decision, Justice Brian O’Ferrall said Sosa’s request to appeal the extradition order is denied. He said whether Sosa committed any crimes in Guatemala has no influence on whether he is returned to the United States. “Mr. Sosa is not facing extradition to Guatemala to face murder charges. The extradition is to the United States where the U.S. authorities allege that Mr. Sosa lied to them when he answered ‘no’ to the question whether he had committed any crimes for which he had not been arrested,” wrote O’Ferrall. “I have carefully reviewed the extradition judge’s decision, and it is my view that Mr. Sosa’s appeal is hopeless. Nor is there any injustice in requiring him to answer the perjury charges in the United States.” It’s alleged 251 men, women and children were killed during the massacre at Dos Erres. The military unit believed the village was under rebel control and that its inhabitants were responsible for an ambush on soldiers and the theft of 20 rifles. No weapons were found. Sosa argued July 25 that the Court of Appeal should overturn the ruling that he is extraditable to the U.S. He said he wasn’t in Dos Erres when the massacre occurred. “I also note in passing that Mr. Sosa’s evidence that he was not at Dos Erres is somewhat inconsistent with the fact of charges having been laid against him in Guatemala,” wrote O’Ferrall.

had been urging the federal government to try Sosa in Canada for war crimes and crimes against humanity. “It looks like the court agrees there is evidence on the record about Sosa being involved in the massacre, and it’s certainly good that he’s in front of a court, but it’s disappointing that the charges he’s going to face are much weaker charges than what he actually should face,” said Matt Eisenbrandt, the centre’s legal director said in an interview with The Canadian Press. “The disappointment is that Canada to this point hasn’t shown any interest in prosecuting Sosa in Canada on charges that would actually fit the crimes he’s accused of.” Eisenbrandt said it is still possible that Sosa could ask the Supreme Court of Canada to review his case. But Eisenbrandt points out that Sosa doesn’t have a lawyer, so it’s difficult to say what he may decide to do.

A $3.5-million upgrade at the Centrium is running a little behind schedule as the sports arena gears up for the Rebels new hockey season. Construction began in mid-April for the project that includes 13 more luxury suites, 40 club seats and an additional 1,000 seats added to the 6,000-seat centre. Westerner Park general manager John Harms said on Wednesday that all of the seating will be done by the time the Rebels have their first home game on Sept. 21. General contractor is Timcon Construction, which Harms said has done a fabulous job. “The suites will likely not be done until the end of September,” said Harms. “We’re a little bit behind.” Timing and design work got behind, he said. Hockey fans will still be able to walk around and enjoy the full area of the Centrium, except within those suites that will need more time to finish, Harms said. Harms added that they’ll also have to work around Rebels training camp, which runs from Aug. 26 to 29. The Black and White inter-squad game runs on Aug. 29. “The ice will be in for five days and then we’ll take it back out so they can finish the construction using the ice level,” said Harms. “They’ll be craning things into position.” The structural steel is up for the first level and the floor has been installed. Harms said the final beams are now being worked on so that the bleachers can be in-

river boat. “Luckily the missing male barely managed to get to shore further downstream,” said a news release on Wednesday. Police say that individuals got him to safety and a waiting ambulance. No serious injuries were reported. RCMP are reminding all boaters and floaters to be vigilant and aware of all water risks and be properly prepared. Safety should always be the priority. Currently the rivers are all high and there is considerable debris associated to that high flow rate, say police.

Travis accused of DUI ARRESTED NAKED AFTER ALTERCATION IN TEXAS BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DALLAS — Randy Travis is accused of driving while intoxicated and threatening to kill state troopers after the country singer crashed his car and was found naked and combative at the scene. A mug shot released on Wednesday by the Grayson County Sheriff’s Office shows a batteredlooking Travis in a T-shirt, with a black eye and dried blood on his face. He later walked barefoot out of the county jail wearing scrubs and a University of Texas ball cap. It was the second Texas arrest involving alcohol this year for the Grammy-winning singer, who was cited in February for public intoxication. The sheriff’s office in Grayson County, located in far North Texas along the border with Oklahoma, received a 911 call at 11:18 p.m. Tuesday about a man seen lying in a road west of Tioga, where the entertainer lives. Texas troopers responding to the scene said a Pontiac Trans Am registered to the 53-year-old Travis had been driven off the road and struck several barricades in a construction road.

Travis was not wearing clothes at the time of his arrest and made threats against the Texas troopers, said Tom Vinger, a Department of Public Safety spokesman. He said the singer refused sobriety tests, so a blood specimen was taken. Vinger did not immediately respond to questions on how Travis suffered his facial injuries or whether any troopers were injured during the arrest. “I know the vehicle suffered significant damage to the front end during the wreck,” Vinger said in an email to AP. Grayson County Sheriff’s Sgt. Rickey Wheeler said Travis faces charges of retaliation or obstruction in addition to driving under the influence. “Travis had a strong odour of alcoholic beverage on his breath and several signs of intoxication,” according to a statement from the sheriff’s office. “While Travis was being transported, Travis made threats to shoot and kill the troopers working the case.” A Travis representative said there was no immediate comment. Travis was arraigned and released on $21,500 bond Wednesday morning from the jail in Sherman, about 60 miles north of Dallas. Blood test results are pending.

District Attorney Joe Brown says his office will review the report of the arrest. The felony retaliation or obstruction charge will be referred to a grand jury within a month or six weeks, while the misdemeanour DWI case could be filed as soon as prosecutors decide whether to proceed, Brown told The Associated Press. The felony count carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and/or a fine of up to $10,000. Travis was also charged with public intoxication in February after being spotted in a vehicle parked in front of a church in Sanger, about 20 miles from Tioga. It’s been a rocky couple of years for the North Carolina native, best known for hit songs like Is It Still Over? and On the Other Hand. He divorced Elizabeth Travis in 2010 after 19 years, but retained her services as his manager, a role she held for more than three decades. Earlier this year, though, Elizabeth Travis filed a lawsuit claiming that Randy Travis made it impossible for her to do her job and terminated her management contract without proper notice. She said her ex-husband sent several men, including an armed guard, to clean out her offices.

MOSCOW — A Moscow judge wrapped up the trial of three feminist punk rockers on Wednesday and said she would issue a verdict in the controversial case next week. Prosecutors have called for three-year prison sentences for the Pussy Riot band members, who have already been in custody for five months after giving an impromptu performance in Moscow’s main cathedral to call for an end to Vladimir Putin’s rule. The three women — Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, 23; Maria Alekhina, 24; and Yekaterina Samutsevich, 29 — highkicked and danced as they belted out their “punk prayer” in Christ the Savior Cathedral in February. They were charged with hooliganism motivated by religious hatred, which carries a maximum sentence of seven years. Tolokonnikova, dressed in jeans and a blue T-shirt, said in a trembling voice, looking at prosecutors: “We have more freedom than all those people from the prosecution in front of me — because we can say what we want.” Their case has sharply divided Russia. Some believers felt offended, while other Russians have been angered by what they see as repressive treatment for the expression of political beliefs. Orthodox leaders have ignored calls to pardon the women and urge the court to dismiss the case. The trial has been seen as part of the widening government crackdown on dissent that followed Putin’s election in March to a third presidential term. “With every day an increasing number of people start to realize that if the political machine turned against girls who performed in the Christ the Savior Cathedral for 40 seconds, this means only that this political system is scared of the truth and the sincerity that we bring,” Tolokonnikova said. Putin last week criticized the Pussy Riot stunt, but said the band members should not be judged too harshly. Defence lawyer Nikolai Polozov said Wednesday that Putin’s remarks indicated that “he virtually has found them guilty already and only meant to say that the court’s punishment shouldn’t be too harsh.” Violetta Volkova, another defence lawyer, said an acquittal “would be the only chance for

tives behind the band’s actions, only blasphemy and hatred toward Orthodox believers. “How did it happen that our performance, which was a small and clumsy stunt, brought so much trouble?” Alekhina told the court. “How can this happen in a healthy society? And now it takes thousands of people around the world to prove the obvious, to prove that the three of us are innocent.”

Mall invites market vendors MUST CARRY LOCALLY PRODUCED PRODUCTS ONLY BY HARLEY RICHARDS ADVOCATE BUSINESS EDITOR Red Deer’s outdoor public market has helped many local entrepreneurs connect with consumers. They’ll soon also have an indoor option. Parkland Mall plans to welcome 30 Central Alberta vendors onto its premises Oct. 17 to 21. There, they’ll be able to pitch their products as part of a “Mall Street Market.” “The whole point is to allow home-based businesses that are producing their products here an opportunity to sell them in the mall,” said Krista Dunstan, Parkland Mall’s marketing director. Participants will be assigned table space

along the shopping centre’s corridors, giving them exposure to the consumers on site. “They’re going to be front and centre, for sure,” said Dunstan, adding that for many it will give them a public venue they wouldn’t otherwise have access to. There will be no cost to the vendors, aside from liability coverage if they choose to purchase it. However, they must carry locally produced products only, and not be a multi-level business. Consumers will be able to vote for a Mall Street Mogul from among the vendors, with the winner to receive two free months of kiosk space. Parkland Mall administration will select the 30 participating vendors on the basis of

criteria like the uniqueness of their products and the appearance of their displays, said Dunstan. She added that requests are already coming in, with the deadline for applications Sept. 15. Mall Street Market will run from a Thursday to a Sunday. “That actually is Small Business Week for Alberta,” said Dunstan. She described the initiative as a pilot project that mall officials hope will become an annual event.

Report says RIM reviving talks with Samsung A report by investment firm Jefferies suggests that Research In Motion Ltd. is trying to revive discussions about a possible partnership with Samsung Electronics Co. Shares in the troubled Blackberry maker were up 37 cents or about five per cent at $7.69 on the Toronto Stock Exchange after surging more than 10 per cent in early trading. Jefferies analyst Peter Misek says RIM’s strategic review is likely wrapping up, and he predicts the company will conclude that it needs to license its BlackBerry 10 operating system. In his report, Misek says the company may finally be realizing what Wall Street has been saying along: that it needs a partner. He believes Samsung is undecided, but is considering licensing BlackBerry 10 or buying RIM.

Warning on growth as debt crisis spreads Europe’s biggest economies are showing increasing signs of weakness, a sign that the struggles of their heavily-indebted neighbours are spreading across the region. The central banks of France and Britain, Europe’s second- and thirdlargest economies, made grim forecasts on Wednesday, while data out of Germany, its largest economy, showed a weakening in manufacturing. Europe — which includes the 17 troubled countries that uses the euro — has been struggling for the past three years as economies across the region face deepening recessions. Spain and Italy, the two current chief trouble spots, are threatened with a financial collapse and could soon join Greece, Portugal, Ireland and Cyprus in seeking financial assistance so that they can pay their way. This will stretch the eurozone’s already fragile economy to breaking point.

New clothing shop for people who like to dress green BY HARLEY RICHARDS ADVOCATE BUSINESS EDITOR Red Deer has a new clothing store that caters to those who like to dress green. Nice Stuff, which opened last month at 10A 7110 Gaetz Ave., favours apparel and accessories made from environmentally sustainable hemp, bamboo and soy. The shop carries men’s and women’s clothing, including hoodies, dress shirts, T-shirts and socks, as well as accessories like belts, hats, scarves and purses. Owner Nic Bricker said business has been brisk, with many people keen to buy clothing that biodegrades quickly after it’s discarded. “We get the odd person that wants everything hemp, or are transitioning to getting everything hemp.” Although much of the clothing she currently carries is made from hemp, Bricker hopes that her stock will eventually be split between hemp and bamboo. “The bamboo is such a nice product,” she said, describing how it — and hemp — become very soft after they’ve been washed. Although clothing made from hemp and

bamboo are popular in British Columbia, it’s less common in Alberta, noted Bricker. Nice Stuff is one of the few locations between Edmonton and Calgary where it can be found. The store also carries natural lotions and soaps, and has a vast incense collection. “I think it’s the biggest one in Red Deer.” Nice Stuff offers a variety of smoking supplies as well, including vaporizers, hookahs, scales, grinders, pipes, bongs and rolling paper. Bricker said such equipment is needed by users of medical marijuana, but it’s also used with tobacco and legal herbs. “Most people don’t know that when they come in here,” she said. “We want to educate them on that.” Bricker’s goal is to expand Nice Stuff into a chain — a plan that’s looking more likely with the store’s strong start. “We kept saying five years or so, but we’re doing so well it might be sooner than that.” Nice Stuff is open Mondays and Tuesdays from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., Wednesdays to Fridays from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. hrichards@reddeeradvocate.com

Red Hat Awards enhanced PARTNERSHIPS, PACKAGING, PROMOTION TO BE RECOGNIZED BY ADVOCATE STAFF Tourism Red Deer is introducing a new platform for its Red Hat Awards, which celebrate the hospitality and tourism industries. The redesigned awards will still acknowledge great customer service but will introduce other important elements, such as outstanding partnerships and packaging, as well as product enhancement and promotion. Eight awards will be presented: Leadership Awards for accommodation, event/attraction/festival and restaurant; a Marketing Excellence Award; a Marketing Partnership Award, and Service Excellence Awards for accommodation, event/attraction/ festival and restaurant. The Leadership Award is designed to showcase a tourism business’s focus on customer service, new programs or product enhancement. The Marketing Excellence Award will recognize those that have been innovative in promoting their business and to honour one of Red Deer’s tourism partners that have enhanced the experience of Red Deer and its reputation through their

marketing efforts. The Marketing Partnership Award will focus on marketing program activities or campaigns. The Service Excellence Award will be given to individuals who demonstrate a commitment to outstanding customer service. Tourism organizations, businesses and individuals are encouraged to put forward their own nominations for these awards. Consumers will still be encouraged to participate by acknowledging and nominating businesses or individuals that have delivered an outstanding experience during their stay in Red Deer. Nomination forms will be available through all tourism partners in Red Deer and Red Deer County. The project or initiative must have been implemented between November 2010 and November 2012. Forms for the public nominations can be accessed at www.TourismRedDeer.com. Full details and nomination forms for industry participation are available at TourismRedDeer.com/Industry. Nominations must be re-

ceived by 4:30 p.m. on Nov. 30. The awards will be handed out the third week of May 2013 in conjunction with National Tourism Week. Along with the awards event, Tourism Red Deer will organize a free interactive workshop designed to teach hospitality and tourism staff some of the best things to know about Red Deer. Participants will discover Red Deer’s interesting history, be able to identify local landmarks and become aware of attractions and services available to visitors. Participants will earn a “Red Hat Experience Expert” pin and certificate acknowledging their unique local knowledge. Red Deer attractions will provide facility passes so participants can discover first-hand the many experiences, facilities and attractions available to visitors. Participants will track their visits so they can earn a Red Deer Experience Superstar certificate and become eligible for the Experience Expert Grand Prize, which will include a weekend luxury package of hotel, spa and dinner certificates.

Canadian house prices are due for a 10 per cent correction — and likely even more in overheated Toronto and Vancouver — but will likely avoid a U.S.style collapse, according to a Scotiabank report. Economists from the chartered bank said in a report Wednesday that average Canadian house prices will likely experience a cumulative 10-per-cent drop in the next two to three years as demand softens. Toronto and Vancouver, where average prices are well above the national average, could suffer an even steeper decline as oversupply and affordability issues turn the cities into a buyer’s market. “Record prices combined with incremental regulatory tightening are reducing affordability and the housing market’s earlier momentum,” economists Aron Gampel, Adrienne Warren and Mary Webb report. “Pent-up demand has been effectively exhausted after a decade-long housing boom, with Canadian home ownership at record levels.” The housing market has been particularly busy in the years since the 2008-2009 recession — after the Bank of Canada moved to lower interest rates to ultra low levels to stimulate domestic spending. And the fragility of the global economic recovery has pressured the central bank to keep rates at a stimulative one per cent. Low lending rates have also encouraged many buyers to find a home before they rise, leading to bidding wars, higher home prices and warnings that some homeowners may find it difficult to service their debts when interest rates inevitably rise. However, the Scotiabank (TSX:BNS) economists don’t believe Canada is at the same precipice the U.S. faced in 2007 prior to the subprime mortgage debacle, although they warn the “downside risks” are increasing. They note that despite record household debt at 152 per cent of disposable income, the other metrics of homeowner finances remain in safe territory.

PIPELINE SAFETY

Advocates say they’re shut out BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — Groups that pushed for a review of pipeline safety in Alberta say Premier Alison Redford’s government is shutting them out. “I find it pretty disappointing that the Alberta government can find time to meet with the oil industry but not any of the 54 groups that demanded this review,” Don Bester, president of the Alberta Surface Rights Group, said Wednesday. Last month, the province said an independent audit is to focus on how pipeline safety is managed. It is also to look at the safety of pipelines that cross waterways and how the province responds to spills. The review was announced following three pipeline-related oil spills in the province. Redford’s office said the premier has received a letter from the groups, but no decisions on a meeting would be made until the fall. The organizations, including Greenpeace Canada and the Council of Canadians, say the scope of the review is too narrow.

MARKETS CLOSE TORONTO — The Toronto stock market closed near its lows of the day on Wednesday as traders began to question whether optimism about Europe’s economy might be premature. The S&P/TSX composite index was down 82.46 points at 11,781.04, pulling back from hefty gains made in the past several sessions. On Tuesday, the TSX closed at its highest level since July 4. The TSX Venture Exchange slipped 4.88 points to 1,185.68, while the Canadian dollar rose to 100.54 cents US, up 0.29 of a cent. Traders have taken a more optimistic turn, motivated in part by comments from the U.S. and European central banks, but sentiment seems to be shifting back towards caution over whether economic improvement will be as good as first thought. Several big consumer goods companies warned that weak demand in Europe was cutting into their revenue. That followed worrisome economic news from England, France and Germany, where growth had offset recessions in other European countries like Italy and Greece. “It’s quite opposite to what we had seen at the beginning of the year where we had seen strong employment numbers and strong growth,” said Sadiq Adatia, chief investment officer at Sun Life Global Investment. But he added, “I think investors as a whole are kind of rooting for the economy ... that’s why when good news comes up they jump on it and start to push the markets higher a little bit, and then when it leads to the negative news they jump back down again.” On the TSX, information tech-

nology stocks were up 0.6 per cent, with Research In Motion (TSX:RIM) shares rising 24 cents, to $7.56 after an analyst report suggested it should partner with or be bought out by Samsung. Telecom stocks gained 0.04 per cent after BCE Inc. (TSX:BCE) announced an increase to both its dividend and 2012 earnings forecast. The telecom and media company says the dividend will rise to $2.27 per share annually, or 56.75 cents per share quarterly, beginning with the October payout. Expected adjusted earnings have been increased by two cents per share, to a range of between $3.15 and $3.20 per share. The Montreal-based company said its profit rose to $773 million, or $1 per share, compared with $590 million, or 76 cents a share, a year ago. BCE shares were up $1.05 to $44.30. On Wall Street, the Dow Jones industrial average increased 7.04 points to 13,175.64, closing out a session characterized by a slow climb out of negative territory. The Nasdaq fell 4.61 points to 3,011.25 and the S&P ticked up 0.87 of a point to 1,402.22. Meanwhile, investors were waiting for China to release inflation, factory output and retail sales data on Thursday. Analysts expect inflation to fall further, which would give authorities in Beijing room to shore up slowing growth by easing credit without fear of igniting a spike in consumer prices. In commodities, the September crude contract turned lower in the last minutes of trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange, falling 32 cents to US$93.35 a barrel. TSX energy stocks were the biggest decliner,

down 1.2 per cent. September copper moved down 1.9 cents to US$3.42 a pound, while December gold rose $3.20 to end trading at US$1,616 an ounce. In Canadian earnings, Air Canada Inc. (TSX:AC.B) reported a $96-million net loss in the most recent threemonth period, more than double the $46 million it lost a year earlier and more than analysts had expected. Revenue was flat, rising a slight $71 million to $2.99 billion. Shares were down nine cents to $1.06. Takeover target Rona Inc. (TSX:RON) says its profit fell to $34.1 million in the second quarter, a penny below estimates and down from $37 million a year earlier. Revenue at Canada’s biggest home-improvement chain was in line with estimates, rising by 3.4 per cent from a year ago to $1.4 billion. Shares of the company slid two cents to $13.73. High Liner Foods Inc. (TSX:HLF) shares dipped 35 cents to $19.80 after it reported second-quarter profit sank due to costs from its purchase of Icelandic USA. Net income dropped to $995,000 from $4.8 million a year earlier, though on an adjusted basis it was flat at $5.5 million. Sales rose 42.9 per cent to $219 million. In Europe, markets shifted only slightly. Germany’s DAX lost 0.01 per cent to 6,932 while France’s CAC40 was 0.4 per cent lower at 3,438. Britain’s FTSE 100 increased 0.08 per cent to 5,846 after the Bank of England cut its growth and inflation forecasts. That has confirmed many economists’ expectations that the Bank of England will provide more monetary stimulus later this year. Many of Europe’s indexes have hit multi-month highs on hopes the

PIPELINE: Concerned about ERCB involvement They are also concerned that the Energy Resources Conservation Board will be involved in the process. Mike Hudema said the board, with its mandate to regulate the development of Alberta’s energy resources, is too close to the government and is mistrusted by some people in rural areas. He said there are also concerns about the board’s ability to adequately inspect and monitor pipelines and ensure spills are properly cleaned up. “Albertans need and deserve an independent, thorough pipeline review that provides information and answers that we can rely on and trust,” Hudema said. The groups include public sector unions, First Nations and public health organizations. A spokesman for Energy Minister Ken Hughes said he has received the group’s request for a meeting, but nothing has been scheduled. Bester said they need to be heard. “Shouldn’t people have more of a say than oil executives?” he asked. “This review should be about protecting our communities and the environment, not a public relations exercise to greenwash the oil industry.”

HOUSING: Slower starts Homeowner equity in their real estate holdings averages 67 per cent, compared to 41 per cent in the United States, and mortgage delinquency rates are low and falling. The overall housing stock is not notably overbuilt, they add, with the inventory of unsold homes above the long-term average, but showing signs of levelling off to below the peaks of the early 1990s. The bank predicts housing starts will slow to more a sustainable level of 185,000 to 190,000 a year, from the current average of close to 220,000. The Scotiabank projection is the latest of several that have suggested prices have climbed too far. Some, such as Capital Economics, have called for a correction as big as 25 per cent. Economists say the most likely outcome is that the housing market will adjust as it has in the past, when booms in the 1970s and 1980s were followed by flat or declining prices that lasted almost a decade. However, they warn that there are risks of a sharper drop should the weak global economy impact job creation and investment in Canada. A sharp correction would likely also have a significant impact on the economy, economists say, given that homeowners will be poorer and demand for new residential construction would fall.
