City still moving on long-term plan to end homelessness

BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF There hasn’t been an official homeless count in Red Deer for several years.

But it’s no secret that dozens, if not hundreds, of people struggle to find enough to eat and a safe place to sleep every night in the city.

In 2005, a number of concerned citizens asked Mayor Morris Flewwelling to put an end to homelessness in the city. That sparked the Mayor’s Task Force on Ending Homelessness, which brought leaders and community members together to find a solution. Out of those discussions, the EveryOne’s Home — Red Deer’s Five Year Plan Towards Ending Homelessness was developed and then released in 2009. Its goal was to end chronic homeless in Red Deer by 2018.

A total of 12.5 km of crown paving is happening around the city.

“That’s a fairly big one for traffic disruption, crown paving,” said Jim Chase, the city’s road superintendent, on Thursday.

“It will be on and off all summer.

“What we saw in front of us at that time was increasing numbers of homeless people,” said Flewwelling. “And a lack of the community’s ability to deal with homelessness in increasing numbers. We had people becoming homeless and we had emergency responses like People’s Place and the soup kitchens but that wasn’t helping the problem.”

Twenty or more agencies and organizations in the city are now working together to target specific areas, including healthy relationships, early intervention, emergency assistance, discharge planning and housing options.

At the same time, the province has its own strategy to end homeless by 2019. As part of the plan, provincial funding is channelled to the seven major cities in Alberta, including Red Deer, that work with community partners to deliver services to the homeless.

Cadets flock to training centre

Wildrose’s Fox says review necessary

BY LAURA TESTER ADVOCATE STAFF SPRINGBROOK—Throngs of cadets lined up for a special ceremony as the evening sun shone brightly over the air strip on Thursday.

The 45-minute-long sunset ceremony showed spectators some of the skills being taught at Penhold Air Cadet Summer Training Centre. Some cadets displayed their precision at raising their flags or rifles.

Others marched in procession while playing musical instruments as high-ranking military officers, political dignitaries and area residents looked on during the public open house.

About 800 cadets aged 12 to 19 come to the former Canadian Forces Base Penhold for up to six weeks of training. Staff cadets can be on hand for eight to 10 weeks.

Sgt. Jordan Stefaniuk of Vegreville joined six years ago and since then he’s developed strong friendships with other youth from across Canada.

“I stuck with it because of the leadership and discipline, the sports — and the opportunities that are presented,” said the 17-year-old.

“I’m an athletics instructor and spent time at CFB Borden, so you get to travel quite a bit.”

He now has his pilot’s licence, which he achieved for free under the cadet program. He aspires to be a pilot for the Canadian Forces.

Winnipeg area resident Sgt. Evan Truss, 18, joined when he was 12. At Penhold, he helps provide glider familiarization flights.

The flights are designed to expose the cadets to the aviation side of the air cadet program and hopefully spark some interest about maybe becoming a pilot, said Truss.

“Getting the opportunity to learn how to fly really kept me excited and motivated through the whole thing (of the program),” said Truss. Master Cpl. Anna Weingartl, public affairs representative, said the open house invited people to find out more about the cadet program.

Visitors checked out everything from the aeronautics display to the air rifle demonstration.

Cadets can take a range of training: general training, music, basic drill and ceremonial, drill and ceremonial instructor, air rifle marksmanship/instructor course. The Department of National Defence will close Springbrook’s air cadet camp at the end of the 2014 season. The cadet camp was launched in 1966.

Weingartl said news of the closure has resulted in more community interest.

“We’re getting a lot more questions and interest about the camp and whole program,” said Weingartl, a reservist with the Canadian Forces. “Once the cadets reach the 19-year old age limit, they can

HOMELESS: factors Funding is allocated based on factors such as population and shelter space usage in the community.

Red Deer has received $5.1 million since 2009-2010.

The city’s focus is on ending chronic homelessness, getting more people housed, providing supports and keeping the shelter stays shorter.

Emergency situations and city growth will always ensure there is a place for shelters in the community. Flewwelling said provincial rent subsidies and affordable housing units have helped get people off the streets.

“I think now we realize we will never end homelessness,” said Flewwelling. “We will simply deal with it more effectively so we have a rolling population of people rather than an accumulating population.”

The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. (CMHC) defines affordable housing rental housing as “less than 30 per cent of before-tax household income including rent and any payments for electricity, fuel, water and other municipal services.”

In 2006, Red Deer’s Affordable Housing Strategy addressed and outlined four recommendations to meet the affordable housing needs in Red Deer.

The recommendations included refining the city’s internal policies and processes to lay the foundation for long-term success in meeting affordable housing needs; improving the city’s regulatory environment to enable development of affordable housing units, pursuing partnerships to acquire land to develop and manage affordable housing units, and educate and advocate to increase support for affordable housing initiatives in the community.

join the cadet instructor cadre, the reserves or regular forces.”

Lt.-Col. Allan Dengis, commanding officer of the Penhold Air Cadet Summer Training Centre for the second year in a row, has mixed emotions about the closure.

“It’s a fantastic training facility, but the cadets aren’t going to be losing any opportunities because they will have advantages at other training centres around the country,” said Dengis.

The intent of the program isn’t to have young people transferring over to the Canadian Forces.

“It’s to develop good citizens and leaders, develop physical fitness and stimulate an interest in the Canadian Forces,” Dengis said.

A good number of high-profile dignitaries, whether they are in politics, business or the military, probably had a background in cadets because it gave them a solid foundation in which to launch themselves forward, he added.

Analysis –– Social Planning (May 2006), there were 1,732 housing units in the city that were identified as “affordable housing” including emergency, transitional and non-market.

An updated strategy is expected to be released next year.

Rebekah McDermott, the co-ordinator for EveryOne’s Home Leadership Model that guides the initiative, says progress has been made in building stronger and collaborative relationships between the agencies, which ultimately makes the referral process easier for the clients who need the services.

“I think all of us have recognized that relationships are key for anything to be successful,” said McDermott.

In 2011, the city released a report to the community highlighting successes in 2010-2011.

According to the report, 136 Red Deer residents were housed and 78 per cent of those housed remained housed.

Among the housing projects, eight affordable housing units through the Shining Mountains Living Community Services and Julietta’s Place, a 10-unit apartment building for women and their children who have left domestic violence and abusive situations, were opened in 2010-2011.

The next report will be released in September.

Part of the solution is community involvement, says McDermott.

She said homelessness is an issue that we sometimes don’t want to see or simply ignore in our own community.

“But once you are more aware about it you really start to notice there are a lot of people in our community that are without proper housing or shelter and some of the basic needs,” she said.

McDermott hopes the issue will continue to be in the forefront, with avenues such as www.reddeercares.com, Twitter (@WeCareRD) and the Facebook group (We Care Red Deer).

Wildrose Party MLA Rod Fox said a government review of expense and hiring policies is necessary in the wake of the resignations of two senior health executives.

“I’m happy to see they’re doing a review and I’m eager to see the results of it,” said Fox, after giving an MLA update to Lacombe County council on Thursday.

“I just really want to see of those funds get to the front lines, where it impacts Albertans the most,” said the Lacombe-Ponoka MLA. “We need more of those funds spent at the front lines rather than spent on lavish expense accounts.”

Alberta’s information commissioner and Don Scott, associate minister of Accountability, will conduct the review, which was announced on Wednesday.

Allaudin Merali, chief financial officer of Alberta Health Services, resigned last week after it was revealed he had filed $346,000 worth of expense claims between 2005 and 2009 when he worked for the now defunct Capital Health Region.

Sheila Weatherill, who approved the expense claims, stepped down from the board of Alberta Health Services because of the scandal.

Wildrose Leader Danielle Smith has also called on Premier Alison Redford to fire Health Minister Fred Horne, who has been in the job since October.

Fox was also given an update on an ongoing issue for the county and its residents, the lack of access points to Sylvan and Gull lakes.

The MLA said he would work with the county to bring their concerns to the government and to Drumheller-Stettler MLA Rick Strankman, Wildrose critic for Tourism, Parks and Recreation.

County commissioner Terry Hager also asked how being represented by an opposition MLA for the first time in decades would impact the municipality.

“What I’m able to do is offer a second door (to government),” said Fox. As Opposition, the party can raise issues of concern for the riding in question period.

But there are avenues for MLAs of all parties to work together on behalf of constituents, he said.

“There are ways we can reach across the aisle.” pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com homeless is in the works for sometime this summer.

In the fall, the city will conduct an official “point in time” homeless count and survey to gain a better understanding of the demographic and to paint an overall picture.

The city will also look at the people using the city’s services and shelters. The city conducted a survey a number of years ago that estimated 250 homeless in Red Deer.

“What we should see from that count is that we have a very much reduced population because we have taken it from a chronic and accumulative population to acute and episodic,” said Flewwelling.

“It will validate the resources we have put into it. It will show the numbers reduced despite the population (increase of five per cent in Red Deer) in the period of 2003 to 2008. We should see sharply reduced incidents of homelessness.” crhyno@reddeeradvocate.com

REPAIRS: Lots of rain “They get some rain delays every year, but this year there has been a lot of rain on different days.”

He said asphalt lasts about 12 years on high traffic roads and about 35 years on residential streets. As the city has grown, so has the amount of crown paving.

“It goes on in every city. It’s never going to go away. You just need to be patient.”

For the list of paving and other road construction in the city and traffic impact, visit www.reddeer.ca/ closures.

Road work will continue until the end of September, depending on the weather, Chase said.

Motorists are reminded to slow down when approaching or driving in construction areas, watch for flying debris and obey all signs. szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com

County supports riding plan U.S. officer’s wish he could carry

LACOMBE COUNTY

Back yard model railway track okayed

BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF Ernie Beskowiney’s dream of building a model steam engine railroad in his rural backyard near Eckville keeps chugging right along.

Lacombe County’s municipal planning commission has conditionally approved a development permit to allow Beskowiney to go ahead with his plan to build a one-eighth scale model railway track, complete with a working steampowered miniature locomotive.

Beskowiney has spent years making the engine, a replica of the 6060 series U1F Mountain Type 4-8-2 locomotive that is one of the engines used

by Alberta Prairie Railway Excursions out of Stettler.

The plan is to lay out 1,500 metres of track and to give the public rides on the miniature train similar to those found in amusement parks. Two big fundraising events are planned each year to benefit Alberta’s two children’s hospitals. Outside those events, the site will be open to the public on a drop-in basis and for educational pur-

poses.

Beskowiney estimates he is still at least two or three years away from having his miniature railway up and going. “There’s a tremendous amount of work to be done,� he said. “I have no cars yet. I’m still working on the engines.�

Beskowiney has invested thousands of hours over the last five or six years painstakingly creating the components for his dieselpowered steam engines and assembling them into amazingly accurate replicas of their giant inspirations.

He already has the rails and the ties he will need. He will start working on the a layout for the tracks when the crop comes off this fall.

When fully developed, the site will be landscaped and feature model buildings. There will also be barns for the rolling stock, a station and a covered area for guests.

The province’s children’s hospitals have already expressed their enthusiasm for the idea of taking part in twice yearly two-day fundraising events. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

gun in Calgary park draws fire

did not pull a weapon of some sort, but rather concluded it was in their best interest to leave us alone,� Wawra writes. “Would we not expect a uniformed officer to pull his or her weapon to intercede in a life-or-death encounter to protect self, or another? Why then should the expectation be lower for a citizen of Canada or a visitor?

Wait, I know — it’s because in Canada, only the criminals and the police carry handguns.�

Wawra’s letter sparked a Twitter stampede under the hashtag nosehillgentlemen. Many commenters mocked his position. Others took the opportunity to comment on the difference between Canadian and American gun culture. “All set for my trip to Kalamazoo, got my bullet proof vest. Going to promote next years Calgary Stampede,� one observer joked. “Thank God they weren’t armed with free pancakes,� wrote another.

The popular U.S. website Gawker wrote a post about Wawra’s letter under the heading “American Becomes Laughingstock of Canada After Letter to Editor Lamenting Lack of Handgun During Mild Confrontation.�

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — An off-duty Michigan police officer’s public lament about not being able to carry a handgun in a Calgary park has him taking cyber fire from both sides of the border.

Walt Wawra of Kalamazoo, Mich., wrote a letter to the Calgary Herald this week complaining about a recent daylight encounter he and his wife had while visiting Nose Hill Park, a vast expanse of hilly grassland on the city’s north side.

Wawra says the two men asked twice in a “very aggressive tone� whether the couple had been to the Calgary Stampede yet. They were “disrespectful� and had a “menacing manner,� he recalls.

He says he ignored the two men at first, but when they moved closer he responded: “Gentlemen, I have no need to talk with you. Goodbye.�

Everyone walked away peacefully.

But in his letter to the editor, Wawra laments that a man should have the right to protect himself when he needs to and says it felt strange not to be able to carry his handgun off duty. “I thank the Lord Jesus Christ they

Lacombe County is backing an Electoral Commission proposal that would include the municipality in a new Red Deer-Wolf Creek riding.

Under current boundaries, the county is located within Wetaskiwin riding.

The new riding would see the county be part of a riding that starts just south of Wetaskiwin and includes Sylvan Lake and the northern half of the City of Red Deer. “I think it works well for us,� said county commissioner Terry Hager on Thursday. However, being paired with a large urban centre such as Red Deer could change the urban-rural balance, he cautioned.

Since there is a good chance the MP will be drawn from the city, that could take some of the attention away from rural issues.

Coun. Rod McDermand was concerned Red Deer would become the focus of the new riding. “I’m not in favour of this.�

Coun. Brenda Knight liked that the new boundary keeps all of Sylvan Lake, where there is much development activity, within the riding.

The new boundary will work bet-

ter as far as commercial links go, said Coun. Cliff Soper in an interview. “We have very little in common with Wetaskiwin. Our interactions tend to be more towards Sylvan Lake, Blackfalds and Lacombe and Red Deer. “I think in that respect it’s better.�

Soper agreed the riding will be more urban, but doesn’t expect it will be an issue. “I still think the population density in north Red Deer and the amount of people living there isn’t that great to be overwhelming.�

Council voted 5-2 in favour of sending a letter to the commission in support of the new boundary. McDermand and Coun. Paula Law voted against.

The Federal Electoral Boundaries Readjustment Act requires boundaries to be adjusted every 10 years to accommodate population shifts. In Alberta, population growth means the number of federal seats will be boosted to 34 from 28.

A number of public hearings have been scheduled, including two in Red Deer at the Sheraton Red Deer Hotel on Sept. 19 beginning at 1:30 p.m. and 7 p.m.

The commission must report back to the Chief Electoral Officer of Canada

THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — An investigation into the fatal shooting of an Alberta man wielding a knife has concluded the RCMP officers involved were acting in self-defence.

The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team, or ASIRT, says criminal charges will not be laid against the Mounties.

Two officers responded to a domestic disturbance at an apartment building in Onoway west of Edmonton in January.

They were confronted by a 49-year-old man who was armed with a knife.

ASIRT says the man did not drop his weapon when he was ordered to at least twice and instead approached the officers.

The police fired their weapons and the man died despite attention from emergency medical services.

ASIRT says the sevenmonth investigation was assisted by 11 civilian witnesses who provided information.

Ending homelessness For the homeless, a complicated life is reduced to the constant search for basic necessities: food and shelter.

Beyond those necessities, the layers of cause are deep and hurtful.

From mental health issues to addictions; from a history of physical abuse to family tragedy; from racism to lack of education opportunity; from learning disabilities to government failure; from chronic health issues to economic victimization, the strata of cause for homelessness cannot be easily addressed.

It is as varied and as complicated as the individuals involved. And to suggest it is just a systemic problem, or that one cure fits all, is to be both simplistic and destined to fail.

But in Red Deer, a rare community full of compassion and initiative, the drive to end homelessness has taken the broad view.

The Mayor’s Task Force on Ending Homelessness was launched in 2005, and delivered a plan in 2009.

Now, years ahead of the 2018 goal to end chronic homelessness in our com-

OURVIEW JOHN STEWART munity, great progress has been made.

EveryOne’s Home — Red Deer’s Five Year Plan Towards Ending Homelessness has been the cornerstone of significant advances in how we perceive, support and house those members of our society who have been pushed to the edges.

And now we are nearing a milestone.

In the fall, the city will conduct an official homeless census. Included will be information on who uses city services, including shelters. The survey will also provide demographic profiles of the homeless in Red Deer.

The assumption is that there will be a significant drop in the number of homeless in our community, from the 250 people identified in a survey some years ago.

“What we should see from that count is that we have a very much reduced population because we have taken it

from a chronic and accumulative population to acute and episodic,” Mayor Morris Flewwelling told the Advocate recently.

“It will validate the resources we have put into it.”

If he is correct, then it will be easy to quantify the progress we have made.

But if he is wrong, we should not despair, because there are always multiple factors in play.

And when it comes to dealing with the homeless population, sometimes your success encourages other challenges.

The better your supports, the more you succeed in helping people stabilize their lives, the more likely it is that others will come seeking help, comfort, food and shelter.

And Red Deer has done a remarkable job of answering the calls of the needy.

A city report examining housing successes in 2010-2011 said that 136 Red Deer residents were housed and 78 per cent of those housed remained housed.

That is how we should measure success: Red Deer’s extraordinary web of supports and services has given the vast majority of that 78 per cent the wherewithal to remain in housing.

Today, the Advocate published the fifth and final part of a series on the homeless in Red Deer. Reporter Crystal Rhyno’s exceptional series has gone to the individual and societal roots of homelessness, and the personal demons that many in the homeless community must overcome to find a life of stability.

But her series also examined the depth of our community supports, and the foundation of compassion that makes those supports work.

And when the fall survey’s results are released, we need to be mindful that the campaign to end homelessness is not about numbers, it is about restoring dignity and purpose to as many lives as possible.

And in that regard, Red Deer is doing an unparalleled job.

John Stewart is the Advocate’s managing editor.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Killing dandelions a broader issue Red Deer city council is wrestling with a hot potato.

Some folks seem to be concerned about a little yellow flower — the dandelion.

I keep wondering who decided that yellow was ugly?

Common sense and science 101 tell us that we need clean water, clean air and clean soil to survive.

However, some feel that we must get rid of this small yellow flower. The chemicals that we use to destroy it pollutes all three, the air, the water and the soil.

This is a very sad commentary on our sense of values in this world of ours.

Alice Williamson Red Deer

Thank you to the Armouries Whisker Rescue Society of Alberta would like to thank the Armouries for being the purrfect hosts for our garage sale.

We appreciate you allowing us to be there every day for a month to prepare. You helped with so many things that made our sale such a success, from setting up the outside tent and then setting it up again when the wind blew it over, to lending some muscle when the plywood needed to be loaded.

The location and security were awesome, too.

The money raised will go towards vet bills and taking care of the many cats in our programs.

Bike lane project goes hand in hand with sharing the road

BY JOHN JOHNSTON SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE

GUEST COLUMN

The new bike lanes are being painted in town.

There will be a bike lane from the east side of Red Deer on 39th Avenue to the west side of town by Heritage Ranch. There will be a bicycle lane coming downtown from north of 67th Avenue, and from City Hall up Spruce Drive to connect with the 39th Avenue bike lane.

Bicycle advocates have worked hard to encourage the city to go ahead with this project.

So it was heartbreaking to watch a cyclist downtown ignore the bike lane and ride down the sidewalk, and to do so on the wrong side of the road.

It will take a long time to build a strong bicycle culture in Red Deer, but it will happen. As people become more familiar with bike lanes, they will learn how to use them efficiently and safely as citizens in so many other cities have done.

At the moment, though, all we see

are problems. The bike lanes come to a dead end or don’t go where the cyclist wants to go. They are too narrow, beside a perfectly good multi-use trail, or disappear just when you need them as the road gets too narrow.

From the motorist’s point of view, they are taking up part of the road, there aren’t enough cyclists to warrant bike lanes, and why can cyclists ride on the sidewalk?

The problem for the city is that they don’t want to go too fast and put bike lanes in everywhere.

At the moment, there are not enough cyclists to warrant bike lanes everywhere, but it is a chicken and the egg thing. You can’t have people commuting on bike lanes until there are bike lanes.

A common complaint about bike lanes is that the roads are too narrow to accommodate them. This is a problem in almost every city in the world.

Bike lanes are almost always a retrofit.

However, Red Deer is in the envi-

The new bike lanes in Red Deer don’t answer all the problems, but they represent the beginning of a process to redefine traffic patterns in the city. able situation of still being a small but growing community and once bike lanes are the established way, then new roads can be built with bike lanes in mind to begin with.

As we learn how to deal with cyclists and bike lanes, it is important to remember to respect your fellow human being. Cyclists need to follow all of the rules of the road, just as motorists do. They need to ride on the right side of the road. They need to stop at stop signs. They need to indicate their intentions to turn.

Motorists, on the other hand, should not be yelling at cyclists to get off the road or, worse, trying to run them off the road. They need to remember that it takes a lot more effort to ride a bike than it does to drive a car. They also need to remember than most cyclists

Red Deer will see more bike lanes.

We are hoping that children will start riding their bikes to school again as they once did. We are hoping that adults can learn that it is quicker to ride a bicycle a kilometre in the city than it is to drive a car the same distance. We are hoping that people will learn to leave their cars at home, even if just occasionally, because cycling is better for your health.

Mostly, we are hoping that everyone learns to share the road with respect for their fellow citizens.

Judge orders psychiatric assessment for abductor of three-year-old boy THE CANADIAN PRESS CRANBROOK, B.C. — Admitted child abductor Randall Hopley “made the bogeyman real,” a British Columbia judge said Thursday as she ordered a psychiatric assessment for the man.

B.C. Supreme Court Justice Heather Holmes ordered a 60-day assessment to determine whether Hopley should be labelled a dangerous or long-term offender.

Hopley abducted three-year-old Kienan Hebert from his home in Sparwood, B.C., last September, only to return him unharmed several days later.

Holmes said Kienan and his family appear to have moved on from the ordeal, but she said the impact of Hopley’s crimes could have been far worse.

“In my view, common experience tells us there’s nothing more frightening to parents than to lose a child,” Holmes told a court.

“Mr. Hopley made the bogeyman real in their home.

“It seems like victims of such an event will never feel safe in their home again.”

The judge noted the Hebert family decided not to file a victim impact statement.

“Mr. Hopley was lucky in his choice of victims,” said Holmes.

“The family was able to cope and move forward.”

Hopley, who is now 47, pleaded guilty to breaking into the Hebert’s home in the middle of the night last September before taking the boy to a cabin at a nearby bible camp.

Kienan was returned to his home four days after he was taken. Hopley was later arrested at the camp.

Hopley, who once again pulled his shirt up to cover his face while entering the courthouse, has insisted he never harmed or sexually assaulted the boy, and the Crown has presented no evidence that he did.

The Crown pointed out during a sentencing hearing last month that Hopley has a criminal history, including a sexual assault on a five-

year-old boy in 1985 and an attempted abduction in 2007.

“It is an unusual case. The facts are very unique,” prosecutor Lynal Doerksen told reporters after the case had wrapped up.

Doerksen said he is pleased with the ruling but was quick to point out this is only the first step in the process.

Hopley has been

transferred to the care of forensic psychiatric services which will provide the court with a report.

After that, a date for a dangerous offender will have to be set.

Hopley’s lawyer, who had argued his client was a “simple man who did a stupid thing,” told reporters he’s disappointed but not really surprised at the judge’s ruling.

CALGARY — A man has been found guilty of sexually assaulting a woman while she worked at a Calgary pet store.

Salil Sehgal was arrested in March and charged with sexual assault and forcible confinement in the daylight attack that happened in December 2010.

Surveillance photos showed Sehgal at the scene, but court heard he managed to evade police for several months.

Police made appeals for tips and conducted a door-to-door search before the accused was taken into custody.

Sehgal told court he was inquiring about a job at the store, but the judge said his testimony was inconsistent because he didn’t have a resume with him at the time.

A sentencing date will be set today.

Wage freeze on Ontario teachers could trigger election

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Attempts by Ontario’s minority Liberal government to impose a wage freeze on teachers this summer could trigger a general election if it can’t convince the opposition parties to let the bill pass.

Premier Dalton McGuinty has threatened to recall the legislature for an emergency session to impose a new contract on teachers if they can’t reach agreements with school boards by Sept. 1.

“We’ve worked long and hard and been sincere and earnest in our efforts to work with our teaching partners, but at some point in time you’ve got to act,” McGuinty said.

“And respect for the collective bargaining process cannot be used as an excuse to do nothing,” he said.

The cash-strapped government has been trying to negotiate a twoyear wage freeze with more than one million public sector workers to eliminate a $15-billion deficit by 2017-18.

Liberal sources said it was “premature” to talk about declaring any legislation to deal with teachers a confidence motion, which would automatically spark an election if it was defeated.

McGuinty admitted he’ll need the support of at least one opposition party if it comes to legislation, but said he was concerned with the “noises” he’s been hearing from the Progressive Conservatives and New Democrats.

“As far as the PCs are concerned, they are worried that we’re not hitting teachers hard enough,” he said.

“We’re looking for fairness; they’re looking for a fight.”

McGuinty wasn’t expecting any help from the NDP either.

“The NDP are running faster than (Jamaican gold medallist) Usain Bolt away from any government measure that would address public sector compensation,” he said. “They’re afraid of that.”

The New Democrats warned any legislation that imposes a contract on teachers would be challenged in the courts.

“We know that simply imposing

a deal with legislation will lead to a long court battle that will leave people paying more,” said NDP critic Jonah Schein.

The Conservatives want a legislated wage freeze for all public sector workers in Ontario, but said they couldn’t agree to support a bill they haven’t seen.

“We have not been approached in any way, shape, or form with any suggestions that the legislature will be coming back or any proposed legislation that we may be looking at should that happen,” said Tory critic John Yakabuski.

The contracts for all teachers expire Aug. 31, but if there are no new deals in place the old ones automatically roll over, which would give teachers a 5.5 per cent pay raise McGuinty said the government can’t afford.

The government spent five months trying to negotiate contracts with the large teachers unions, before telling school boards they had just four weeks to negotiate local deals based on the one agreement the province did reach with English Catholic teachers.

Officers who were tipped before murder lose bid to stop investigation Two Vancouver police officers who decided not to warn a pregnant woman about a tip that someone was plotting to kill her in the days before she was murdered have lost a court attempt to block an investigation into their conduct.

Det. Const. Craig Bentley and Staff Sgt. John Grywinski were working on the region’s integrated gang task force in 2005 when Bentley received a tip that someone was attempting to hire a hitman to kill 21-year-old Tasha Rosette.

The B.C. Supreme Court heard Bentley told Grywinski, his supervisor, but the pair decided to further investigate the tip rather than warn Rosette.

Five days later, Rosette was found stabbed to death outside the door

of her apartment in Surrey, southeast of Vancouver. She was stabbed 40 times and her throat was slashed.

Her boyfriend, Amjad Khan, and his alleged accomplice, Naim Mohammed Saghir, were later convicted of murder and conspiracy to commit murder, though the province’s Appeal Court overturned those convictions last year and ordered a new trial.

Two complaints linked to the case were filed with the Vancouver

SENIOR LIVING In concert with your life

Police Department: Simone Rosette, the woman’s mother, alleged the officers neglected their duty by not warning her daughter, while the Crown raised concerns about Bentley’s testimony at the preliminary inquiry for Khan and Saghir.

The department dismissed those complaints after an external review by the RCMP. But the province’s police complaints commissioner ordered an external force to investigate

again because, in the commissioner’s view, the Vancouver Police Department didn’t consider all of the information available when dismissing the complaint.

Bentley and Grywinski asked the court to stop that renewed investigation, arguing the Vancouver Police Department’s initial decision to dismiss the complaints was final and that the police complaints commissioner missed a deadline to order a new investigation.

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Construction magnate Tony Accurso, a key figure in Quebec’s ethics scandals, was arrested Thursday for the second time in months as police continued their crackdown on alleged corruption.

The RCMP says four men, including Accurso, were arrested and faced six charges each including fraud, conspiracy and corruption.

The men are accused of concocting a 17-point “Plan of Action,” with help from inside the Canada Revenue Agency, to defraud the taxman of more than $3 million. Police said the plan involved one numbered company, a fake company, and false documents.

The other accused are: Francesco Bruno, also a construction owner; Francesco Fiorino, an accountant; and Adriano Furgiuele, once an auditor at the revenue agency.

Accurso was arrested and charged with separate crimes in April, including fraud, conspiracy and breach of trust. His alleged ties to Montreal politicians helped kick off a wave of corruption scandals more than three years ago, which are now the subject of a public inquiry.

Alleged impropriety in the construction industry has also become a key issue in the current provincial election campaign.

Accurso’s arrest forged its way into the campaign when Liberal Leader Jean Charest was questioned on Thursday about its timing.

The arrest occurred one day after a TV report that said police stopped shadowing a construction businessman after he was seen chatting with the premier at a public event. Charest has reacted angrily to that report, calling it a smear by association.

He said he has never interfered with police work — and he cited the Accurso arrest as a case in point.

“You have there an example of decisions that are made by police authorities,” he said in Quebec City. ”They may have 1,000 reasons why they choose to do an operation at one point in time, whatever the circumstances may be.”

The construction boss was arrested at his home after an early-morning bicycle ride.

Charest was asked whether he was concerned that Accurso-owned companies could still manage to obtain contracts in the premier’s much-vaunted Plan Nord aimed at developing northern Quebec.

“In the case of Mr. Accurso’s businesses, there are laws we have brought in, in particular to be able to deal with companies that have committed fraud and to restrict their ability to do business with the government of Quebec,” he replied.

“And those laws apply to Mr. Accurso’s businesses. If they find a way to get around that law, if there are loopholes in the law, we’ll deal with the loopholes also.”

The accused are to appear in court in September.

Egypt mobilizing troops to fight militants THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CAIRO, Egypt — Egyptian troops, light tanks, armoured vehicles and attack helicopters are pouring into the Sinai desert to root out increasingly aggressive Islamic militants in the most significant easing to date of a key provision in the landmark 1979 peace treaty with Israel: The demilitarization of the peninsula.

For more than 30 years, Egyptian soldiers with heavy weapons were virtually banned from much of Sinai to create a buffer between the longtime enemies. Now, Israel has green-lighted the surge in hopes militants on its doorstep will be defeated.

But talk of formally changing the treaty remains just that, talk.

The reason may lie in the delicate realities of the new Egypt, where the fiercely anti-Israel Muslim Brotherhood has risen to political power — with one of its own as Egypt’s first president since the ouster of Hosni Mubarak last year. The Islamist group has said that Egypt will continue to abide by the accord.

At the same time, it has repeatedly called for changes in the treaty’s limits on troops in Sinai, seen as humiliating.

But its calls may be mainly rhetoric for an Egyptian public among which anti-Israel feeling is high and amending the deal is popular.

Actually renegotiating the accord would require diplomatic gymnastics for the Brotherhood to keep its vow never to meet with Israeli officials. And any deal could be spun as the Brotherhood signing a peace agreement with its nemesis, no matter how much technical deniability the group tries to maintain.

Israel is willing to bend troop limits. But it is tepid to formal amendments for fear of enshrining too much firepower on its border, especially when Egypt’s post-Mubarak future remains unclear.

Mental illness claimed in Colorado shooting

“No one is talking about changing the treaty,” said Israeli lawmaker and former defence minister Benjamin BenEliezer.

Asked about calls to amend the deal, the spokesman for Egyptian

A senior Israeli official told The Associated Press in Jerusalem that the question of amending the treaty was not raised by the Egyptians so far, or by the Israelis. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to

President Mohammed Morsi, of the Brotherhood, avoided a direct response. “The state respects international accords but at the same time serves the interest of the nation and Egyptian citizens,” Yasser Ali told reporters Tuesday.

The new Sinai offensive was sparked by a stunning surprise attack Sunday by militants that killed 16 Egyptian soldiers in Sinai near the border with Gaza and Israel.

It has underlined how much security co-oper-

ation still continues between Egypt and Israel despite the Brotherhood’s new prominence.

Morsi may be president, but Mubarak-era military generals long accustomed to dealing with Israel still hold dominant authorities over him.

CENTENNIAL, Colo. — Attorneys for the suspect in the Colorado movie theatre shootings said Thursday their client is mentally ill and that they need more time to assess the nature of his illness.

James Holmes’ lawyers made the disclosure at a court hearing in suburban Denver where news media organizations were asking a judge to unseal court documents in the case.

Holmes, a 24-year-old former Ph.D. student at the University of Colorado, Denver, had the familiar, dazed demeanour that he has had in previous court appearances.

Holmes is accused of going on a July 20 shooting rampage at a midnight showing of the latest Batman movie in Aurora, killing 12 people dead and injuring 58 others.

Defence attorney Daniel King made the revelation about Holmes as he argued defence attorneys need more information from prosecutors and investigators to assess their client.

“We cannot begin to assess the nature and the depth of Mr. Holmes’ mental illness until we receive full disclosure,” he said.

King said Holmes sought out university psychiatrist, Lynne Fenton, for help. He did not elaborate. A hearing was scheduled for Aug. 16 to establish whether there is a doctor-patient relationship between Fenton and Holmes.

Canada reaches sweet 16 GETS TO 16TH MEDAL AFTER WOMEN’S SOCCER TEAM GETS REDEMPTION BY WINNING BRONZE, VERBEEK WINS MEDAL IN THIRD STRAIGHT OLYMPIC GAMES SHANNON EASTIN

FEMININE TOUCH Shannon Eastin has become the first woman to officiate an NFL game. Eastin broke the NFL’s on-field gender barrier Thursday night, serving as the line judge for a sevenman crew working a preseason game between the Green Bay Packers and San Diego Chargers. Wearing No. 27 on the back of her official’s uniform, Eastin was dwarfed by the players as she lined up in front of San Diego’s sideline and had a camera following nearly every move before the game.

The 42-year-old from Tempe, Ariz., seemed at ease in the spotlight, though, and had at least two players shake her hand right before the opening kickoff.

The midfielder from Oakville, Ont., scored in the 92nd minute as Canada beat France 1-0 in the women’s soccer bronze-

medal game at the London Olympics on Thursday.

The bronze combined with a silver medal from veteran wrestler Tonya Verbeek increased Canada’s medal haul to 16.

capitalized on a rare opportunity when Matheson’s shot off a deflection beat goalkeeper Sarah Bouhaddi and stunned the French.

“It feels amazing. It feels unreal,” Matheson said. “It feels like a dream.”

The bronze is Canada’s first Summer Games medal in a traditional team sport since winning silver in men’s basketball in 1936.

Later Thursday, wrestler Tonya Verbeek won silver in the 55-kilogram category after losing to Japan’s Saori Yoshida in the goldmedal bout.

“I promised going into the Olympics I would give everything and the result would take care of itself,” Verbeek said. “Wrestling is an awesome sport, it’s done wonderful things in my life and I have three Olympic medals.

“The Games is not just about being here in the stadium, it’s about the qualification and the pushing through.”

Verbeek, of Thorold, Ont., won bronze in Beijing four years ago and silver at the 2004 Games in Athens.

“I felt a lot of belief in myself and I felt good going into the finals. I said to myself, ’This is my time’, but sometimes it doesn’t work out that way,” said Verbeek, who was competing at her last Olympics. “I feel really great, I have my family and friends here.

“I promised myself before this competition that I was going to enjoy myself and I feel I did that today.”

Canada has won five medals in the last two days as the country continues to creep closer to the 18 it won four years ago in Beijing.

Cornish runs wild on Tiger-Cats

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Stampeders 31 Tiger-Cats 20 HAMILTON, Ont. — Jon Cornish just needed a rest.

Two weeks after coming up flat and then criticizing his offensive line in a crushing loss to the B.C. Lions, the Calgary Stampeders running back powered his team to a 31-20 win over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats Thursday at Ivor Wynne Stadium.

Cornish, who rushed for 170 yards and a touchdown while catching six passes for 47 more yards, said he relaxed during his team’s bye week and returned with a fresh mind.

“Anytime you can reverse your fortunes from -1 to (170 yards), I would consider that a statement,” he said.

“The O-line was doing their thing tonight. They were pushing people around and when

they do that, it makes my life easy.”

Calgary improves to 3-3 with its first road win of the season while Hamilton falls to 3-3.

Most of the pregame hype surrounded the first meeting between Calgary quarterback Kevin Glenn and Hamilton counterpart Henry Burris since they were traded for each other in the off-season.

Glenn completed 15 of 28 pass attempts for 141 yards and one touchdown while Burris went 21 of 40 for 267 yards, one TD and one interception. But it was Cornish who took over the storyline.

“That sometimes happens when you focus on two individuals, other individuals sneak in there and make their way,” said Glenn about Cornish’s performance.

Holiday over for Riders and Eskimos Team Alberta downs Innisfail The mid-summer holiday is over for the Edmonton Eskimos and Saskatchewan Roughriders as both teams get back to work tonight in Edmonton to discuss how they spent their summer vacations.

We know how Rider quarterback Darian Durant spent his vacation because he made his annual announcement that he would stay in Regina and study game film during JIM the break.

SUTHERLAND Durant and Eskimo quarterback Steven Jyles were once teammates in a competition for the starter’s job in Saskatchewan. Obviously Durant won the job and Jyles began his gypsy’s journey as a not-ready-forprimetime quarterback in Winnipeg, Toronto and now back in Edmonton where he began his CFL career.

However, there was a time when these two guys were 1 and 1A as Rider teammates in my opinion. Durant was healthier during the audition and he

seized the opportunity to grab the job as the Rider starter. I recall a series when Jyles was thrown into the game late in the first half and orchestrated an unlikely scoring drive against a furious wind. It gave me the brief illusion at the time that Jyles was a better quarterback than his actual skill level.

The two quarterbacks have been down different paths since their days as Roughrider teammates because Durant was able to enjoy much greater success until last season when the Riders finished dead last in the league, just behind Jyles’ 2011 Toronto Argonaut team.

The Riders were absolutely brutal last season and had a complete offensive collapse in the second half of the season.

Little of the blame was placed upon Durant, even though his much despised backup Ryan Dinwiddie was the only Rider quarterback to throw a touchdown pass in the back half of the season.

Dinwiddie actually tossed two touchdown passes in the last game of the 2011 regular season against a highly motivated Eskimo team that was about to host a playoff game for the first time in years.

Merchants in pitching battle

BY DANNY RODE ADVOCATE STAFF Team Alberta 2 Merchants 0 INNISFAIL — There was little known about Team Alberta going into the Western Canadian Junior AAA Baseball Championships.

Made up of 18 and 19 year-old players out of the Alberta Midget Baseball League, Team Alberta was the dark horse among the six teams.

But they showed Thursday they’re not going to be any pushovers as they downed the host Innisfail Merchants 2-0 behind the two-hit pitching of 19-year-old Mitch St. Laurent of the Edmonton Cardinals.

“We have the best 18 and 19 year-old players out of the midget AAA league,” explained Rob Boik, who coaches Team Alberta along with Mike Johnson. “We have one player from Fort McMurray while the rest of the team is made up of players from Spruce Grove, Sherwood Park, Edmonton and the Okotoks Dawgs.”

The all-star team was put together to have an Alberta flavour at the Western Canadians, other than the host Merchants.

“Junior baseball in Alberta isn’t that big, so Alberta Baseball wanted another team, with it being in Alberta, and so they decided to put together an all-star team,” said Boik, who is familiar with Central Alberta having played briefly with the Red Deer Stags.

Petterson has early lead at PGA Championship

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. — Five years ago, a leading golf publication chose Kiawah Island as the toughest golf course in America. Some of the best players in the world made it feel like a walk on the beach Thursday in the PGA Championship.

There was no wind in the morning when Carl Pettersson made three birdies on the opening four holes, and not even a freshening breeze could keep the self-proclaimed Swedish redneck from a bogeyfree round of 6-under 66. It was his first time in 21 tries to break 70 in the PGA Championship, and it gave him a one-shot lead.

Rory McIlroy was on the practice range in what he described as “flat calm.”

“I really thought that I had to take advantage of the conditions,” said McIlroy, who did just that in a bogey-free round of 67, fresh signs that the 23-yearold from Northern Ireland might be ready to end his major season on a high note.

A hot but picturesque day along the coast of South Carolina even brought John Daly back into the picture at the major where he first came to prominence 21 years ago. Daly, who hasn’t had his PGA Tour card in six years, made an eagle putt and very few mistakes for a 68.

Pete Dye’s intimidating Ocean Course might still get the best of them in the final major of the year.

But for one day, it was there for the taking.

“There really wasn’t much wind on the front nine, so I knew I had to keep going low because I figured the wind would get up,” said Pettersson, who won earlier this year down the coast at Hilton Head. “The wind started blowing a little bit on the back nine, and I carried on solid play. So it was a great day for me.”

McIlroy, Gary Woodland, Gonzalo FernandezCastano of Spain and Alex Noren of Sweden each had a 67.

It was a good day for Tiger Woods, nothing more.

Despite having to get up-and-down for bogey on three holes, he made enough birdie putts for a 69, a reasonable start as he tries to end the longest drought of his career in the majors. This is his 14th major since he won his last one in 2008, and the last one of an otherwise good season.

“Anything in the 60s is going to be a good start in a major championship,” Woods said. “And I’m right there.”

He had plenty of company, some players who had not been heard from in a while, others that were all too familiar.

Woodland, who started the season with a new coach (Butch Harmon) and injured himself working too hard on the changes, is feeling better and hitting it longer than ever.

“I drove the ball the best I’ve driven it all year,” said Woodland, one of the most powerful players in the game. “And when I drive it like that, I’m playing a game that most guys can’t play out here.”

Daly was in the group at 68 that included former U.S. Open champion Geoff Ogilvy and defending PGA champion Keegan Bradley, who had a birdie-eagle start before he settled into his round.

Thomas Bjorn, of Denmark, hits out of the bunker on the 13th hole during the first round of the PGA Championship golf tournament on the Ocean Course of the Kiawah Island Golf Resort in Kiawah Island, S.C., Thursday. holes, also had a 68 to quickly get back into the mix.

“So far, so good,” Scott said. “It would be great to put two more rounds together and be coming here Sunday with a good look at the championship. If I don’t, then I’ll really feel like I’ve let it all slip this year for me. So I’d love to use this opportunity while I’m playing well to get in there and have a sniff on Sunday.”

The group with Woods at 69 included Ben Curtis, Ryo Ishikawa of Japan and Pat Perez, playing his first major this year.

Phil Mickelson, holding down the eighth and final spot in the Ryder Cup standings, was all over Kiawah Island and did a remarkable job scrambling to salvage a 73.

“I fought hard today and I kept myself right in it for the most part and should get a bit of a weather break tomorrow morning,” Mickelson said. “It actually felt a little bit closer than it has in a long time. I felt good on the green. My touch was back. I started hitting some shots at some pins.”

The flags started to ripple in the afternoon, though not enough to make Kiawah as frightening as it can be. With so much rain over the last week, including

storms that limited practice time before the championship began, the greens were soft and fairways slow.

Those were the kind of conditions McIlroy had when he shattered the scoring record at the U.S. Open last summer at Congressional. More than soft conditions, though, was that bounce in his step while walking down the fairway after blistering his tee shots. He hit 10 drivers, most of them were he was aiming.

McIlroy was bogey-free, and while he failed to make birdie on a couple of the par 5s, he picked up a shot on the field at the 249-yard 14th hole, which features severe slopes off every corner of the green.

Leave it to the 23-year-old from Northern Ireland to hit a towering 3-iron that settled 12 feet from the flag, one of only six birdies on the par 3 in the first round.

McIlroy has been a disappointment in the majors this year — much of his season has gone the wrong direction since he briefly rose to No. 1 in the world after winning the Honda Classic in March — but got a pep talk from putting coach Dave Stockton and has spent more time playing instead of practicing technique.

Canada takes early Lockout looms if no deal done by Sept. 15 lead at Challenge NHL COMMISSIONER GARY BETTMAN SAYS IF NO DEAL IN PLACE WHEN THE AGREEMENT EXPIRES THE PLAYERS WILL BE LOCKED OUT

THE CANADIAN PRESS YAROSLAVL, Russia — Emotions were running high Thursday as Canada’s top junior hockey players beat Russia 3-2 in the first game of the CanadaRussia Challenge.

But Canadian coach Steve Spott wasn’t happy with the undisciplined play his team, adding it’s something that will have to be worked on prior to Game 2 of the series Friday.

“We’re going to have to address our discipline,” Spott said. “This group is real physical. The challenge for us is going to be to continue to play physical but not cross a line where it’s going to cost us penalties.

“It’s a lesson learned.

Thankfully it didn’t hurt us.”

Canada’s Dougie Hamilton scored the game winner on a power play for Canada in the second period to kick off the four-game series.

Hamilton, a draft pick of the Boston Bruins, scored late in the second period to give Canada a 3-1 lead.

Sean Monahan and Scott Harrington had the other goals for Canada, while Anton Slepyshev and Nail Yakupov Dougie Hamilton replied for Russia.

Yakupov, who was drafted first overall by the Edmonton Oilers in June, scored on a power play late in the third to bring Russia to within one.

“We turned over some pucks that allowed them to use their speed and their skill so we’ll address that tonight,” Spott said.

After Friday, the series shifts to Halifax for games on Monday and Tuesday.

The series is being played as a tribute to Kontinental Hockey League team Lokomotiv Yaroslavl.

The club was involved in a horrific plane crash last September that killed 44 players and coaches.

“It’s been an emotional time for us,” said Spott.

Former NHL defenceman Brad McCrimmon, who was coaching Yaroslavl at the time of the accident, was killed in the crash.

His father, Byron McCrimmon, is with the Canadian team at the tournament.

“Byron joined us in Toronto and has been part of our team since we’ve got to Yaroslavl,” Spott said.

“Our players have had a chance to bond with him and he probably has to be one of the strongest men I’ve ever met.

“With the ceremony yesterday and the game tonight he’s a pillar of strength and I think an inspiration for all of us.”

The tournament is also celebrating the 40th anniversary of the 1972 Canada-Russia Summit Series.

“I think we’ve tried to create the culture here of 1972,” Spott said, adding that Hockey Hall of Famer Phil Esposito, who played for Canada in the ’72 series, was also on the road with the team to show support. “(Our players) understand now that this is not just an evaluation for (the world junior hockey championship in) December but there’s a lot of national pride on hand here,” Spott said.

“I can tell you that the full house in this building fully expected a physical game and an emotional game and they definitely got what they were hoping for.”

Bolt sprints into Olympic record books

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON — Usain Bolt sprinted into Olympic history Thursday, becoming the first man to win the 100200 double at consecutive games.

Bolt slowed up crossing the line as he led a Jamaican 1-2-3 in the men’s Olympic 200 metres at the Olympic Stadium, raising his finger to his lips in what looked like a failed attempt to silence the 80,000-strong crowd’s deafening roar.

“The guy is just on another planet right now,” said fourth placed Wallace Spearmon.

Bolt’s winning time of 19.32 seconds was outside his own world record, but the crowd had already been treated to the first new world mark on London’s Olympic track.

An hour before Bolt’s run, David Rudisha of Kenya won the 800-meters in 1 minute, 40.91 seconds, shaving one-tenth of a second off the record he set in 2010.

“Yes, he’s the greatest runner,” said Timothy Kitum, Rudisha’s teammate who took bronze. “He told me he’s going to run a word record today. He’s the best.”

At Wembley, the United States women’s football team won its third consecutive Olympic gold, beating Japan 2-1 to avenge its defeat on penalty kicks to the same team at last year’s World Cup. The U.S. victory came in front of a crowd of 80,203, the largest ever to see a women’s football game at the Olympics.

Americans had more to cheer about as Ashton Eaton won gold in the decathlon.

Bolt said he wanted to become a living legend, but IOC chief Jacques Rogge wasn’t ready to bestow that title even after the 200 win.

“Let him participate in three, four games, and he can be a legend. Already he’s an icon.”

Earlier, Oscar “The Blade Runner” Pistorius and the South African relay team raised the drama stakes at the Olympic Stadium. Pistorius, a double-amputee who runs with carbon-fiber blades, and his relay teammates were knocked out of the 4x400-meter relay following a collision during the race, then readmitted. A jury of appeal said South Africa “had been severely damaged” in a collision between Ofentse Mogawane and Kenyan runner Vincent Kiilu, who cut across him too soon in the second section of the heat. The jury decided to give the extra ninth lane to South Africa — silver medallists at the last world championships — for Friday’s final.

While other runners took off with their batons after the changeover, Pistorius glanced back to see the baton wasn’t coming, and dejectedly walked off the track. It would have been his last appearance at the Olympics after failing to qualify for the 400-meter final as an individual runner.

The incident unfolded as London enjoyed the warmest day of the Olympics so far.

Bolt won both the 100 and 200 — in world record times — in Beijing four years ago and with the 100 gold already collected, he joined Carl Lewis as the only athlete to win the race at successive games.

Training partner Yohan Blake, who beat Bolt in both the 100 and 200 at the Jamaican trials, was second in the 200.

Manteo Mitchell kept going after he felt something pop in his left leg halfway through the opening lap in the 4x400-meter relay preliminaries, helping the Americans tie for first with the Bahamas. A few hours later, doctors told him he had a broken leg.

Women’s boxing made its Olympic debut this year and flyweight Nicola Adams of Britain had the distinction of winning the first gold medal. She stunned world champion Ren Cancan of China 16-7, knocking Ren down in the second round with a dynamic flurry of punches.

Katie Taylor of Ireland won the lightweight gold medal, edging Sofya Ochigava of Russia 10-8. Taylor is the unofficial pound-for-pound champion of women’s boxing after winning the past four world titles with an entertaining style.

U.S. middleweight Claressa Shields beat Nadezda Torlopova of Russia 19-12. The 17-year-old Shields shuffled, danced and slugged past her 33-year-old opponent with a charisma rarely seen in boxing. The teenager even got a telling-off from the referee for poking her tongue out at her opponent. As the bout ended she gave a distinctive shuffle and danced away from the ring after being declared winner.

Eva Risztov of Hungary won the women’s open

water race at Hyde Park, holding off American Haley Anderson in a sprint to the finish. Risztov was in front most of the way in the grueling 10-kilometre race, leading a five-woman pack that broke away from the rest of the field.

Martina Grimaldi of Italy took the bronze and world champion Keri-Anne Payne of Britain fourth, disappointing the huge British crowd that lined the banks of the Serpentine.

There was no home disappointment at Greenwich Park, where Charlotte Dujardin of Britain won the individual dressage gold medal on Valegro, scoring 90.089 per cent in the deciding grand prix musical freestyle which featured Olympic theme music and chimes from Big Ben. Adelinde Cornelissen of the Netherlands, riding Parzival, won silver, while Laura Bechtolsheimer of Britain on Mistral Hojris took the bronze.

At Weymouth, the men’s 470 medals race on the English Channel was postponed because of lack of wind. The race was rescheduled for Friday, when the women’s 470 medals race will also be held.

The gold medal will go to either Mathew Belcher and Malcolm Page of Australia or Luke Patience and Stuart Bithell of Britain. The Australians have 18 points and the British 22.

In doping news, an Olympic official familiar with the case said the IOC is set to formally strip American cyclist Tyler Hamilton of his gold from the 2004 Athens Games and reassign the medals after his admission of doping. With the eight-year deadline approaching, the official told The Associated Press the IOC executive board will meet Friday to readjust the standings from the road race time trial.

Rays finish sweep of Jays THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Rays 7 Blue Jays 1 ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Matt Moore pitched up to the lofty recent standards set by the Tampa Bay pitching staff. And when the Rays added some hits and runs, that made things look easy.

Moore threw six sharp innings, Jose Lobaton drove in three runs and the Rays beat the Toronto Blue Jays 7-1 Thursday for a three-game sweep.

“Our staff and our entire lineup right now, we’re playing well,” Moore said after winning in the finale of a sixgame homestand. “It’s a very good time for us in this clubhouse, and there’s a lot of looking forward to going on the road right now.”

Moore (9-7) gave up one run and two hits, retiring 14 straight batters during one stretch.

He won his third straight start, striking out six and walking two.

That kind of pitching has become routine for the Rays, who have allowed more than one run in only six of their last 19 games.

Hitting has been another matter. The Rays took the AL’s worst batting average (.230) and lowest scoring output (441 runs) into the game, but Evan Longoria drove in two runs and had three hits.

Jeff Keppinger also had three of Tampa Bay’s 13 hits. The Rays got seven runs after scor-

ing only nine in he first five games of the homestand.

Longoria, who missed 85 games with a partially turn hamstring, came inches short of his first home run since April.

His RBI double in the eighth inning was close enough for the umpire crew to review before determining it had bounced off a rail and back into play.

It would have been the Rays’ first home run in five games.

“With the addition of guys like Longo, I think everybody else is able to relax a bit and gain some confidence, and once you’re able to do that, things start rolling,” outfielder Matt Joyce said.

Tampa Bay has won 16 straight series against Toronto at Tropicana Field. The Rays have won six of eight games overall while the Blue Jays have lost 15 of their last 19.

“I truly believe it can become contagious, offensively speaking,” manager Joe Maddon said.

“It’s all based on confidence.”

The confidence of the Rays’ pitching staff has never been higher. It has reached the point where Moore’s first two innings on Thursday were considered something of a struggle.

“The start of the game wasn’t the way I wanted to start — 27 pitches in the top half,” he said. “I just didn’t quite have the feel for things there in the first inning.”

Northcott takes pitching pedigree to World Cup FEMALE PITCHER ONE OF BEST IN CANADA THANKS TO HELP FROM HER FATHER

BY DANNY RODE ADVOCATE STAFF It’s little wonder Heidi Northcott has developed into one of the top female pitchers in the country.

Northcott’s father, Harold, has always been a topend pitcher, plus he was pitching coach for Team Canada.

“I’ve learned a lot from him . . . I’m lucky, he’s helped me be where I am today.”

The 19-year-old Rocky Mountain House native is a member of the Canadian national women’s team which will compete in the fifth annual IBAF women’s baseball World Cup, which begins today in Edmonton and runs through to Aug. 19.

Northcott’s father not only worked on developing four pitches — fastball, curve, slider and changeup — but the mental side of the game as well.

“Definitely mound presence,” she said when asked what his main contribution has been. “To be able to step up under pressure and control my emotions.

To stay in the zone.”

Northcott considers the curve her best pitch and just recently added the slider.

Heidi Northcott “To be able to pitch at this level you need more than one or two pitches,” said Northcott, who is in her third season with Team Canada.

She was on the team in 2009 and 2011, both off years for the World Cup. But she has had international experience.

“In 2009 we played Japan and the United States in Granby, Que., and last year we played a six-game series in the States,” she explained. “In June we went to Cuba and Venezuela.”

Northcott always felt she was capable of playing for the national squad, but her confidence received a boost when she was named to the team in 2009.

“That year there were 30 girls with the team and being among them was a boost for my confidence, plus I learned what I needed to do to be better at the

STORIES FROM B1

MEDALS: Tied for 11th overall With one gold, five silver and 10 bronze, Canada is tied for 11th with the Netherlands in the overall medal count.

The bronze-medal result in soccer should help Canada recover from an emotional 4-3 loss to the United States in a semifinal marred by controversial officiating.

France, which ousted Canada from last year’s Women’s World Cup in a dominating 4-0 performance, controlled play with several quality chances in the second half, including shots that hit the crossbar and the post.

But Matheson, a five-foot midfielder from Oakville, Ont., scored to lift Canada onto the podium and give the team something to build on ahead of 2015 when it hosts the Women’s World Cup. “I think I’m in shock. There’s been a group of us that has been on this team for a long time that have experienced the highs and lows of international soccer and nothing compares to this,” Canadian captain Christine Sinclair said. “I don’t think any of us at the end of last year’s World Cup would have thought this was possible.”

In other Canadian results: ● Damian Warner of London, Ont., built on a strong first day in the decathlon to finish fifth overall. ● Roseline Filion of Laval, Que., finished 10th in the final of the women’s 10-metre platform dive, while Montreal’s Meaghan Benfeito was 11th. ● Calgary wrestler Leah Callahan lost her opening match in the 72-kilogram category to Burmaa Ochirbat of Mongolia and was later eliminated. ● Emilie Fournel of Lachine, Que., was sixth in the B final of the women’s K-1 500 kayak race.

The result placed Fournel 14th overall. ● Toronto’s Zsofia Balazs finished 18th in the women’s openwater swimming event at Hyde Park. ● Canada’s women’s synchronized swimming team are fourth after the technical routine ahead of Friday’s final events. They scored 94.4 points, trailing firstplace Russia (98.1 points). ● Tory Nyhaug of Coquitlam, B.C., failed to advance to the semifinal of the men’s BMX event. ● Jessica Smith of North Vancouver, B.C., failed to move on to the final in the women’s 800 metres. ● Vancouver’s Elizabeth Gleadle finished 12th in the women’s javelin.

STAMPS: Happy “I’m more happy that he had this kind of game than me beating my old team because you all think that’s it’s about me and revenge against the Ticats,” added Glenn.

Bo Levi Mitchell, Romby Bryant and Nik Lewis also scored TDs for Calgary. Chevon Walker scored twice for Hamilton, one from a 21-yard reception and another off

four teams advancing to the semifinals on Aug, 18. The final is Aug. 19 at 5 p.m.

The majority of the games are at Telus Field with John Fry Park an alternate site.

Northcott has worked in relief with the national team, although she’s not sure what her role will be.

“With nine games in such a short period of time you have to expect a little bit of everything,” she said.

Northcott grew up in a baseball family as not only was her father active in the game but so where her brothers, Chad and Dustin, both of whom are with the Red Deer Riggers. Chad is an infielder while Dustin pitches.

Heidi got her first taste of the game when she was five and was hooked.

She competed in boys’ baseball, and still does, in Rocky while also playing for Team Alberta in the girls’ division.

She played with the peewee program when she was 12, eventually moving to the bantams and the senior squad. In fact she just finished playing for Alberta in the nationals in Spruce Grove where Alberta beat Quebec 7-1 in the bronze medal game.

Northcott played first base when she wasn’t pitching, but will only work on the mound for the national team.

“I really love pitching and I’ll just focus on that,” she added.

Northcott, who played midget for the Rocky Mountain House squad this year, attends the UBC Okanagan in Kelowna.

“It’s nice weather there and I can get a friend to come out and catch for me,” she said.

a 47-yard rush.

Calgary kicker Rene Paredes hit his lone field goal from 25 yards while Hamilton’s Luca Congi hit both field goal attempts, from 43 and 22 yards.

Calgary took its first lead of the game in the third quarter when short-yardage QB Malik Jackson converted a one-yard TD run to go up 17-13. The score was set up by a 69-yard drive that was aided by a roughing-the-passer penalty against the Ticats.

Hamilton answered with an 85-yard drive, punctuated by a 47-yard TD run by Walker and the Ticats regained a three-point lead as time expired in the third.

But Glenn led a 58-yard drive and handed the ball to Bryant for an easy end run and eight-yard score for the 24-20 lead early in the fourth. Calgary pulled away midway through the fourth, driving 62 yards and ending with an eight-yard TD pass from Glenn to Lewis and the 31-20 lead.

After the game, Calgary head coach John Hufnagel praised Glenn’s perseverance in shaking off a tough first half.

“Ever since (Glenn) got on the field for us, he’s shown that he’s not perfect, but he’s not going to quit,” said Calgary head coach John Hufnagel. “He hung in there, made some plays, got cracked a few times but picked himself up and kept making plays. And his teammates helped him out. And that’s what we need, a full team effort and I thought this one tonight was a full team effort.”

The Stamps ran down the clock in the fourth, keeping ball possession for 5:17 and driving 75 yards before Cornish fumbled and Hamilton recovered the ball on their own three-yard line with 51 seconds left. But it was too little too late.

“I got too caught up in the game early on emotionally,” said Burris Hamilton’s run defence had given up a league-worst 638 yards coming into this game. Cornish gained 113 of his yards in the fourth quarter alone.

CFL: Blame Now it is 2012 and the two teams have identical 3-2 records as they head into tonight’s game.

The Eskimos lost a close one in Winnipeg when Jyles fumbled away a very late game rally that would have given Edmonton a win against the Bombers.

Saskatchewan has lost two in a row the soul-crushing way as they blew two incredibly large leads and handed victories to their very happy opponents.

Much of the blame has been placed upon the Rider defense because they folded like a cheap lawn chair with a plus-sized Sumo wrestler sitting in it. Some blame has been placed upon the Rider’s two best receivers (Getzlaf and Dressler) for crucial drops and accusatory fingers have also been pointed at Chris Milo, their field goal kicker. Little blame has been directed toward Darian Durant, even though his first turnovers of the season were a big factor in the losses, as well as his inability to move the team into close range for his struggling kicker in the last game. His three and out performance to end the last game suggests that he is definitely a part of the problem to me.

These are two teams that need to re-flex their muscles and establish a little street cred within their division in tonight’s game. The Eskimos have stone cold assassins on D-line, the best linebacker (JC Sherritt) in the league and a ball hawk secondary that will rock Durant’s world. I would pick the Eskimos to win this game except for one reason: Steven Jyles will play quarterback for them.

LOSS: Pitchers Team Alberta managed just three hits off Innisfail starter Jay Kirkham, with two of them coming in the fourth inning when they scored both their runs.

They collected a pair of hits, then with one away successfully negotiated a double steal. A ground out plated one run and an error gave them their second. That was enough for St. Laurent.

“Mitch pitched a helluva game,” said Boik. “You couldn’t have asked for anything more.

Boik feels the team has plenty of pitching depth.

“We have lots of guys who pitch and some position players who give us quality on the mound as well,” he said. “We have enough arms for potentially six games.”

The Merchants also have quality on the hill, but need to find their bats.

“The pitchers on both teams did a good job, but it was a wakeup call for us to start swinging the bats,” said Merchants head coach Jay Steeves. “We knew coming in our offence would have to step up.

“We put the ball in play, but in a situation where we had a guy on third we had two shots at getting him home, but didn’t get it done.

It was the top of our lineup as well and they have to step up. We had a little chat afterwards and we’ll be ready tomorrow.”

Steeves also gave credit to St. Laurent.

“He was good, filled the strike zone and had good defence behind him. They have some quality players on that team. A lot of our guys played senior ball and this is a little more intense where it’s one run at a time. The guys aren’t used to that atmosphere.

“We would have loved to win this, but it was a favourable decision and a wake-up call right off the bat.”

Jesse Scheunert singled and Mclean Cruthers doubled for the only Innisfail hits.

The Merchants play twice today against teams from Manitoba.

They face the Carillon Sultans at noon and the St. Boniface Legionaires at 6:30 p.m. On Saturday they clash with the Moose Jaw Eagles at 9 a.m. and the Weyburn Beavers at 6 p.m.

Team Alberta takes on Moose Jaw at 9 a.m. today at Great Chief Park and meets Weyburn at 3:30 p.m. in Innisfail. On Saturday they play both their games at Great Chief Park, facing the Legionaires at 9 a.m. and the Sultans at 6 p.m.

The top two teams following round-robin play meet Sunday at 2 p.m. in Innisfail.

In other play Thursday Moose Jaw edged Weyburn 4-3 at Great Chief Park. drode@reddeeradvocate.com

Murray pulls out of Rogers Cup, moves Raonic onto next round

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — It wasn’t an ideal way for Canadian favourite Milos Raonic to reach the quarter-finals of the Rogers Cup tennis tournament.

The 21-year-old from nearby Thornhill, Ont., advanced Thursday when recent Olympic champion Andy Murray pulled out because of a knee injury, depriving the rain-delayed tournament of yet another elite competitor.

Murray hurt his left knee on Wednesday during his opening straight set victory against Italy’s Flavio Cipolla. The win came just three days after Murray battled Roger Federer for gold on the grass courts of Wimbledon.

The quick adjustment to hard courts at Rexall Centre proved too much for Murray, who was set to meet Raonic in third-round play Thursday evening.

“Normally when I move on to hard courts, I have 10 days or so practising and you feel things like this, but you can work around it by doing the right training and what not,” said Murray. “I don’t want to go full out and possibly do any more damage. That was why I decided not to play.”

For Raonic — the tournament’s 16th seed and the only Canadian left in the singles draw — it means a spot in the quarter-finals for the first time in his career at a Masters tournament. He eased by Serbia’s Viktor Troicki 6-3, 6-4 on Tuesday to book a meeting with Murray.

“Obviously it’s something that I was really looking forward to,” said Raonic. “It’s an unpleasant thing but at the same time it’s a good thing — it’s my first quarter-final in a Masters and to be at home is pretty special. I guess there’s a give and take with it.

“I’m playing pretty well, I’m healthy, so it’s a good opportunity and I’m going to make the most of it come tomorrow.”

Murray’s absence leaves the tournament shy on star power and without three of the world’s top four players in men’s tennis. World No. 3 Rafael Nadal pulled out just prior to the tournament because of injury and announced Thursday he will also miss the ATP Tour’s next stop in Cincinnati.

Federer withdrew from the Rogers Cup a day af-

ter Nadal, citing the schedule crunch with the Summer Games.

Top-seed and world No. 2 Novak Djokovic was set to play American Sam Querrey on Thursday but that match was delayed by a steady drizzle that wreaked havoc on the day’s schedule.

All singles matches were postponed while some doubles matches were shifted to a nearby covered court.

Fans were left with little more to do than visit covered food courts and souvenir shops while they waited for conditions to improve. A helpful Djokovic tried to lighten the mood by sweeping water off the stadium court and even hit a few balls while holding an umbrella.

Toronto’s Daniel Nestor and partner Max Mirnyi of Belarus got their opening match in with a 6-4, 6-3 victory over Italy’s Fabio Fognini and Juan Monaco of Argentina.

“It wasn’t the prettiest match,” said Nestor. “It was dark in there and no one was on their game. We just happened to win one or two of the bigger points, more by luck than by playing well.”

The win officially qualifies Nestor for the ATP World Tour Finals in London. The top-ranked duo are the first team this year to qualify for the November championship held annually at O2 Arena. It will be Nestor’s 14th appearance at the year-end tournament as he look to defend his title.

“For whatever reason I’ve had success there the last few years and I think we’re going to be, hopefully, one of the top two teams,” said Nestor.

“Any time you’re in a dog fight for No. 1 this late in the season you’re know you’ve done something well.”

Griffiths 13 shots behind CUMBERLAND, Ont. — Defending champion Mackenzie Hughes of Dundas, Ont., carded a thirdround 7-under 65 on Thursday to take a one-shot lead into today’s final 18 holes of the Canadian Men’s Amateur Golf Championship.

Meanwhile, Red Deer’s Zach Griffiths recorded a 1-over 73 and was 13 strokes off the lead with a 54-hole total of 217. Griffiths finished his second round on Thursday morning, coming in with a score of 1-under 70.

Mitch Bach of Sundre and Red Deer golfers Carson Kallis and Brett Pasula missed the 36-hole cut.

Olver fifth, Hill seventh at Country Hills CALGARY — Theo Olver of Three Hills recorded an 81 and finished fifth overall in a McLennan Ross Sun Junior Golf Tour event on Thursday at Country Hills.

Logan Hill of Red Deer tied for seventh with an 84. Justin Paarup of Red Deer shot 100.

Catalinas help Canada to victory Two members of the Red Deer Catalina Swim Club — Alana Skocdopole and Rebecca Smith — helped Team Canada defeat Mexico and the United States in the North American Challenge Cup in Edmonton.

Skocdopole, 18, captured gold in the 100-metre butterfly and the 4x100m medley relay and bronze in the 200m butterfly.

“Alana did a great job,” said Catalina head coach Mandi Smith. “This was her third weekend in a row competing and she didn’t back down once. This meet was great for her to get on a national team and win for her country.

“This sets her up great for next year at the University of Calgary.”

Twelve-year-old Smith won silver in the 200m I.M. and 4x100m freestyle relay and bronze in the 200m freestyle and 4x100m medley relay in the 12-andunder division.

“This was Rebecca’s first time on a national team and her first time racing back-to-back weekends at a national level,” said Mandi Smith. “I was really excited to see her continuing to improve her times, breaking two club records, which she set the weekend before. I would say the highlight of her weekend was breaking the 28-year-old Alberta record in the 200m I.M.” The Catalina Club swimmers are now off until September.

EDMONTON — Frank Van Dornick of Camrose pulled away from the field at the Alberta Senior Men’s Golf Championship on Thursday at the Edmonton Country Club, his 3-under score of 68 giving him a five-stroke cushion with one round remaining.

Edgar Manning makes brief appearance in opener NFL PRESEASON gets his rematch at UFC 150

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

THE CANADIAN PRESS

EAGLES 24, STEELERS 23 PHILADELPHIA — Andy Reid was welcomed back to the sideline with a standing ovation and chants of “Andy! Andy! Andy!”

Then the Philadelphia Eagles gave their grieving coach a small reason to smile. Reid coached the Eagles just two days after his 29-year-old son’s funeral.

Alex Henery kicked a 51-yard field goal with 12 seconds left after the Steelers went up on Daniel Hrapmann’s 42-yarder with 1:57 left.

Trent Edwards led the Eagles (No. 8 in the AP Pro32) back on an 11-play drive to set up Henery’s kick.

Rookie Nick Foles threw two long TD passes to help the Eagles overcome a 13-0 third-quarter deficit.

Ben Roethlisberger was sharp in his only series for the Steelers (No. 7 in the AP Pro32).

He led the offence on a 16-play scoring drive in the first game under new offensive

THE

A ADVANT

co-ordinator Todd Haley.

Michael Vick escaped injury after banging his left thumb on centre Jason Kelce’s helmet, and took a seat on the bench after the offence went three-and-out in his only two drives.

He was 1 of 4 for 4 yards in his second exhibition game.

REDSKINS 7, BILLS 6 ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Robert Griffin III needed only three passes on his third and final drive to show glimpses of stardom in his much-anticipated NFL preseason debut Thursday night.

After a muffed handoff and no first downs in his first two series, RG3 found his rhythm by completing his final three passes for 58 yards, capped by a 20-yard touchdown to Pierre Garcon.

It was an eventful cameo appearance for the Heisman Trophy winner, who was drafted with the No. 2 pick out of Baylor.

Griffin finished going 4 of 6 for 70 yards and a lost fumble.

Defensive end Mario Williams made a debut of his own for the Bills (No. 19) in his first game since signing a six-year, $100 million contract in free agency in March.

Williams, the highest-paid defensive player in NFL history, and the Bills’ new-look defensive front was solid in limiting the Redskins to 11 yards and no first downs in the first two series.

RAVENS 31, FALCONS 17 ATLANTA — Baltimore backup Curtis Painter threw three second-half touchdown passes.

Atlanta’s Matt Ryan led two touchdown drives, including a scoring pass to Julio Jones, before Painter took over.

Ryan completed 9 of 13 passes for 155 yards, one touchdown and one interception.

He was 5 for 5 for 71 yards, including the 7-yard touchdown pass to Jones, on the opening drive for Atlanta (No. 13 in the AP Pro32). Joe Flacco completed 9 of 12 passes for 88 yards and a touchdown for Baltimore (No. 5).

The Falcons led 14-0 before Flacco threw a 9-yard touchdown pass to Ed Dickson midway through the second quarter.

Ravens safety Omar Brown, an undrafted rookie from Marshall, had two fumble recoveries and an interception.

PATRIOTS 7, SAINTS 6 FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Will Smith crunched Tom Brady from behind, forcing a fumble in the first quarter. It may be the Saints defensive end’s biggest play for a while.

One of four players punished in New Orleans bounty scandal, Smith was suspended for the first four regular-season games.

So Thursday night’s sack of New England’s star quarterback was a highlight in the Patriots lacklustre 7-6 win in their exhibition opener.

John Kasay had a chance to give the Saints (No. 9 in the AP Pro32) the lead, but his 41-yard field goal attempt went wide to the right with 3:07 left.

Brady left after two series and 15 plays and finished with four completions in seven attempts for 30 yards.

New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees also played two series, lasting just six plays.

CHARGERS 21, PACKERS 13 SAN DIEGO — Shannon Eastin became the first woman to officiate an NFL game and Philip Rivers had a touchdown, an interception and a fumble in limited action for the Chargers ( No. 16 in the AP Pro32).

Rookie Jarrett Lee got most of the action, throwing for 235 yards and a touchdown.

Eastin broke the NFL’s on-field gender barrier by serving as the line judge for the seven-man crew of replacement officials.

She helped oversee a predictably ugly preseason opener by both teams, filled with fumbles, interceptions and missed assignments.

Aaron Rodgers had an interception and a fumble in three series for the Packers (No. 1).

DENVER — Today’s rematch between UFC lightweight champion Benson Henderson and the man he beat for the belt, Frankie (The Answer) Edgar, wasn’t supposed to happen.

Following Henderson’s UFC 144 win over Edgar in February, UFC President Dana White suggested former World Extreme Cagefighting champion Anthony Pettis would get his shot at UFC gold.

But Edgar, who had previously granted titleshot rematches to B.J. Penn and Gray Maynard, was relentless in his pursuit of a return bout and eventually forced White’s hand.

The two now meet in the main event of UFC 150 on Saturday night at the Pepsi Center.

“Rematches are — I mean there’s two sides to it,” Edgar said.

“You get to see what your opponent is all about, and you get to see what you’re about. I think sometimes in rematches it matters who makes the best adjustments and who is the best.

“But at this level, fights are so close and sometimes it’s who shows up that night and who performs better.”

Thus far in his career, Edgar (14-2-1 MMA, 9-21 UFC) has proven himself a better fighter in return bouts — soundly defeating both Penn and Maynard in rematches.

In February, Henderson was awarded their first fight with convincing scores of 49-46, 48-47 and 49-46. Still, Edgar believes he should have retained his belt that night, and he’s determined to walk away a champion on Saturday night.

“He’s not defending the belt,” Edgar said.

“That belt is mine, and I’m taking it back.

“I feel like I can do better than I did last time. All respect to him, he’s a very good fighter, but I still feel I am No. 1 in the 155-pound weight class, and I will prove that.”

Despite Denver’s high altitude, which has had visible effects on a handful of fighters on previous fight cards in the Mile-High City, Henderson and Edgar are wellequipped to maintain a fast pace for a full five rounds.

The key ultimately boils down to the larger Henderson’s ability to absorb Edgar’s blows while utilizing his strength to control the action in clinches and on the floor. Meanwhile, Edgar will likely look to capitalize on speed and movement to frustrate his opponent while landing rapid-fire combinations at every opportunity.

Henderson (16-2 MMA, 4-0 UFC) has already been told Nate Diaz is in waiting, and a trilogy fight is not in the cards should he fall short on Saturday night.

Meanwhile, Edgar has been told repeatedly by White he should consider dropping to 145 pounds.

So while the UFC 150 main event will determine the promotion’s lightweight champion, it will also have much to say about the future of two of the sport’s most exciting fighters.

“I think it’s going to be another great fight, another great performance from both of us,” Edgar said.

“The biggest thing, I think, is that we both always bring it. We both always have good entertaining fights. We don’t need to talk smack and hate each other. We don’t need to dislike the guy or be hateful towards each other, but we always put on a great show, and it’s going to stay the same in Denver.”

BRONCOS 31 BEARS 3 CHICAGO — Peyton Manning’s first appearance with the Denver Broncos was brief and a bit uneven.

Manning got intercepted near the goal line on the game’s opening possession and watched from the sideline the rest of the way as Denver beat the Chicago Bears 31-3 in the preseason opener on Thursday night.

All eyes were on Manning and the results were mixed for the four-time MVP. Considering he missed all of last season with a nerve injury in his neck that weakened his throwing arm and led to his tearful farewell from the Indianapolis Colts, it was hardly a surprise.

Manning is trying to show he still has something left with Denver (No. 10 in the AP Pro32), and all things considered, coach John Fox was impressed.

On a cool and rainy night, Manning completed 4 of 7 passes for 44 yards, but didn’t have to contend with Julius Peppers or Brian Urlacher.

He had all the time he needed, too, so it remains to be seen how he’ll handle a big hit.

FEDERAL PROGRAM TO FORGIVE PORTION OF CANADA STUDENT LOAN DEBT INCURRED BY DOCTORS, NURSES, NURSE PRACTITIONERS; SEEN AS ALSO HELPING RURAL PEOPLE

BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF A new federal program to forgive a portion of Canada Student Loan debt incurred by family doctors, nurses and nurse practitioners will benefit those who work in rural communities.

Bachelor of nursing student Nicky Patrick, 23, of Red Deer, said it will also benefit rural community residents and encourage people to go into rural health care and stick with it.

“I think it will possibly decrease the rural nursing shortage. I think it’s a great idea,” said Patrick, president of RDC Nursing Society, on Thursday.

Working in rural areas give nurses a wider scope of practice and competence, she said.

Through the program, those who began working in a designated community on or after

April 1, 2012, will be eligible to apply for partial student loan forgiveness.

Most communities with a population of 50,000 or less, including communities that provide health services to First Nations, Inuit and Métis, would qualify as a rural community.

Family doctors and residents in family medicine will be eligible to receive up to $8,000 per year in Canada Student Loan forgiveness to a maximum of $40,000 over five years.

Nurses and nurse practitioners will be eligible to receive up to $4,000 per year to a maximum of $20,000 over five years.

Eligible doctors or nurses must be employed full-time, part-time or casual for a year in a designated rural or remote community and worked for a minimum of 400 hours, or 50 days, in that community to

qualify.

Maureen Matejka, chairperson of nursing programs at Red Deer College, said RDC students will benefit.

“I think it’s really good for our students because our students are really prepared to work in the rural area because they have a lot of their practicums in the rural area,” Matejka said.

RDC students may practise in communities around Central Alberta like Rocky Mountain House, Ponoka, Lacombe, Innisfail, Olds and Rimbey.

Students in RDC’s bachelor of nursing program spend three years at RDC before completing their fourth year with University of Alberta.

At RDC, it costs students about $6,500 a year for tuition, fees and books.

RDC has about 400 students

in its four-year nursing program.

RDC also has a two-year practical nursing program.

Partial loan forgiveness for family doctors and nurses will only apply to the federal student loan portion of Canada Student Loan.

More information is available at www.actionplan.gc.ca.

Red Deer MP Earl Dreeshen said health care is a provincial responsibility, but the loan forgiveness program is how the federal government felt it could contribute.

“It’s an opportunity and a recognition of the commitment that (health-care professionals) are putting into something that is needed for some of these less-serviced areas,” Dreeshen said. szielinski@reddeeradvocate. com

SOCCER

Soccer bronze stirs interest

OLYMPIC VICTORY HERALDED BY LOCAL SOCCER COMMUNITY

BY JESSICA JONES ADVOCATE STAFF The redeeming and hard-fought bronze-medal win for the Canadian Olympic women’s soccer team was the talk of Red Deer on Thursday.

The women managed to capture the medal with a goal by Diana Matheson late in the game, securing them with the 1-0 win against France on Thursday morning.

The bronze-medal win was the first for Canada in a summer team sport since 1936, putting women’s soccer at the forefront of Canadian minds.

“Everywhere you go today people are talking about it,” Red Deer City Soccer Association and Red Deer Renegades Soccer Club technical director Admir Ado Sarcevic said on Thursday.

“It is amazing how many people who are talking about the game, some who have never talked about it before.

It’s huge for soccer and especially women’s soccer,” he said.

The Red Deer City Soccer Association was hosting a summer soccer camp for kids on Thursday and instructor Kayla Keenan, 22, who also plays for Red Deer College and in the Alberta Major Soccer League, was beaming about the win.

“It was a little devastating obviously watch-

“I am sure they were emotionally drained and exhausted physically so to keep pushing and score a goal, that is incredible.”

Canada’s captain Christine Sinclair, now a household name, is not only a role model for herself but for the children she teaches, Keenan said.

“We have girls in the camp and she (Sinclair) is such a positive role

model, I think this is going to be great for years to come.”

Sydnie Bray, 10, has been playing soccer for two years.

She said she was surprised at the win because France was a tough team to beat.

Hearing that the Canadian women’s soccer team persevered taught her to play hard and try her best, she said.

Ado Sarcevic played professional soccer in the former Yugoslavia 18 years ago.

He hopes recent soccer hype boosts interest in the sport around Central Alberta.

“This is a hockey country but possibilities are out there, so with the right work, the right attitude and support, I think that they (female soccer players) can accomplish a lot.”

There will be more to pay attention to when Canada hosts the women’s World Cup in 2015.

Victims and family of a Lacombe teenager who has admitted to stabbing his stepmother must wait two more weeks to learn his fate.

The 17-year-old boy was charged after attacking his stepmother while she was getting ready to take him to school at about 7:30 a.m. on April 12.

The boy cannot be named under provisions of the Canada Youth Justice Act. Red Deer lawyers Luke Kurata and John MacNaughton, working together in the his defence, said they do not take issue with the facts.

They seek a verdict of not guilty based on their contention that the boy was not criminally responsible for the attack.

A statement of those facts, included in a forensic psychiatrist’s report, was read into the record for the first time in Red Deer youth court on Thursday.

Crown prosecutor Denis Huot said the boy had been living with his father and stepmother in Lacombe for the previous year with no signs of any difficulty.

The stepmother was at the door of the house waiting to take him to school when he grabbed her from behind and stuck a seven-cm knife into the right side of her neck.

The two struggled in the doorway and the woman was able to break free and run away when the boy was distracted when the family dog bolted out of the house, said Huot.

Seriously injured, she was in stable condition at last report, he said.

Museum closes tenders for audio-visual project

BY LAURA TESTER ADVOCATE STAFF A project giving sound and visual life to the trains and other artifacts inside Red Deer Museum and Art Gallery’s new permanent exhibit will soon be rolling out.

Museum executive director Lorna Johnson said that tenders for the audio-visual component of the $1.5-million exhibit have recently closed. Several bids from across the country were received.

The museum and art gallery is set to open the exhibit

by March 25, 2013. The project

should be done by March 1.

The audio-visual component includes a section where people will be able to walk under a pretend Canadian Pacific Railway bridge, where a train is moving along the track.

There’s audio-visual component will tell the story of Red Deer’s early days, including from the perspective Leonard Gaetz, Red Deer’s first mayor.

He died in Red Deer in 1907.

Lots of sounds will come from the Club Cafe, named after a restaurant that operated downtown for about 80 years.

Johnson said it’s expected the “productions” project involving the building of displays

will be tendered in September.

The contractor is expected to be hired in October.

“Then the work really begins in earnest because the fabricators will be building the settings,” said Johnson.

Museum staff are just finalizing the list of artifacts. Mounts will then be made for each of them.

“Things have to be prepared for display so we’ll be very busy with that for the next six months,” said Johnson. “We’ll have about 1,000 artifacts in the exhibition. The old exhibit had about 300.”

The old permanent exhibit had been around for 30 years

before it was taken down a couple of years ago, she added.

The new permanent history exhibition will consist of four separate themes — Unique Settlement History, Community Spirit, Innovators and Leaders, and Our Red Deer.

People will learn more about the 100-plus years of history in Red Deer, as well as the present and future life of Red Deer.

The central theme will revolve around Red Deer’s unusual settlement history, shaped by the ingenuity, leadership and community spirit that is still evident today. ltester@reddeeradvocate.com

NESTBOX FUNDRAISER

LOCAL

BRIEFS Bamford helping choose concert talent Youngsters with musical talent who are involved in Alberta’s 4-H clubs are competing for the chance to open the show for Canadian country music star Gord Bamford.

Bamford, a Lacombe native, and representatives from 4-H Alberta and ATB Financial will help choose one of five contestants who will become the opening act of the third annual Why 4-H is Great Community Concert on Nov. 15.

Those five contestants, plus other 4-H camp attendees, will have a mentoring session with Bamford. The five will then give singing auditions inside the Alberta 4-H Centre in Westerose.

The finalist will be announced on Monday at the Alberta 4-H Centre. The top three communities that are in the running to host the concert will also be unveiled.

Each of the three community finalists will have a video they produced. It will then be posted to the Why 4-H is Great Facebook page. The public will be invited to vote to determine the overall winner.

The winning community, with the most Facebook “likes” by Aug. 31, will be announced live at the 2012 Summer Send Off Festival in Ponoka during the September long weekend.

The 4-H Club is a rural youth organization that’s been around since 1917. It helps its members and leaders to “Learn to do by Doing” in the areas of leadership, communication, technical and life skills.

ATB Financial is the largest Alberta-based financial institution.

Bamford was recently nominated for six awards (16 including all his associated nominations) for this year’s Canadian Country Music Artist awards.

‘Unbelieveable’ plant growth strangling Lacombe Lake

BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF Lacombe Lake is getting strangled by vegetation.

“The amount of plants growing in the lake is just unbelievable,” said Coun. Cliff Soper, who is a member of the recently formed Lacombe Lake

Watershed Stewardship Society.

“What we’re trying to do is find a way of reducing that.”

Weed harvesters have been used on other recreational lakes, such as Chestermere Lake, a reservoir just east of Calgary, and residents around Lacombe Lake are considering something similar.

Soper said reducing the amount of

vegetation could protect the long-term health of the lake. In winter, excessive vegetation can decompose and ruin water quality, opening it up to algae growth.

Safety can also come into play. A couple of people narrowly avoided getting into serious trouble when they fell in the lake last year and were tangled up in weeds.

The society is hoping to remove some of the vegetation from a couple of test plots and is seeking federal and provincial approvals.

“We’re discussing with them the details of our plots and where we might want to do this.”

It is hoped the vegetation work can be done this fall. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

Olds college tries new seed varieties

INCIDENT: Weapons

Olds College is one of only 20 display gardens across Canada that tries out new seed varieties from an independent, non-profit organization.

Illinois-based All-America Selections tests new varieties throughout North America and Japan. Other display gardens for AAS include Calgary Zoo Botanical Garden and Agriculture Canada Ornamental Gardens in Ottawa.

Jane Reksten, manager of botanical gardens, said the college doesn’t do official trials or research concerning the annual flowers and vegetables they receive from AAS. The gardens are for display only.

could look at the report. The first I heard of it was today,” said Plosz.

He apologized to family members who had travelled from Lethbridge to support the boy, who sat impassionately in the prisoner’s box as his charges were discussed. The boy will remain in custody at Calgary Young Offenders Centre until his next hearing, set for the afternoon of Aug. 22. bkossowan@reddeeradvocate.com

Neighbours called 911 when they saw the commotion and police arrived to arrest the boy, who was charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault, use of a knife to commit an offence and unlawful possession of a 12-guage shotgun.

Huot told Judge David Plosz in court on Thursday that the Crown had granted consent for a not criminally responsibility verdict. The forensic psychiatrist’s report indicates that the accused had suffered a “transient psychiatric episode” at the time of the attack, said Kurata. The verdict has been sought as a means of getting the boy into treatment, he said.

Physicians want to examine him as soon as possible for underlying causes, including the possibility of a brain tumour.

Kurata said he had already booked a bed in Edmonton for the boy, presuming that the verdict arranged with consent of the Crown in a previous court appearance would be pronounced on Thursday.

The plan, as he and MacNaughton had discussed previously with the Crown, was to have the boy plead not criminally responsible on one charge and have the othBring your friends, your family, your ers stayed for 90 days, pending a diagnosis. dancing shoes and a blanket or lawn chair!

Reksten said they receive the seeds and then put them in the college greenhouse before they end up in the garden’s raised beds.

Visitors will see labels for each of the planted varieties.

“If they see a plant that they like, they can jot down its name,” said Reksten. “We don’t actually sell the seeds.”

Reksten said the organization likes to have their seeds and plants displayed as far wide as they can.

This year, the college is growing AAS tomatoes, ornamental kale, eggplant, peppers and various melons.

It’s also growing snapdragons, marigolds and pansies.

Students will learn about the varieties during their courses.

“It allows us to showcase the

plants that we have,” said Reksten.

“We are not only collaborating with AAS, but with other gardens.

We’re trying to meet the mandate of a botanic garden, which covers everything from being beautiful to visit, but also educational and informative.”

This little section ends up looking different every year and includes hundreds of flowers, Reksten said.

The rest of the garden includes annuals that are sourced from various suppliers.

The botanic gardens are located south of the Land Sciences building. Members of the public are welcome to visit. ltester@reddeeradvocate.com

BY HARLEY RICHARDS ADVOCATE BUSINESS EDITOR Fuel sale volumes in excess of a billion litres helped drive Parkland Fuel Corp.

(TSX: PKI) to nearly $26 million in earnings during the second quarter of 2012.

The Red Deer-based company, which is Canada’s largest independent distributor and marketer of fuels and lubricants, reported on Thursday that its net earnings for the three months ended June 30 were $25.9 million, or 37 cents per diluted share. That marked a sharp turnaround from the same quarter in 2011, when Parkland recorded a net loss of $4.2 million, or nine cents a share.

“Our diversified business model paid off again this quarter,” said Bob Espey, Parkland’s president and chief executive officer, in a release.

“With the commercial division impacted by adverse weather in the first half of 2012,

our retail division was firing on all cylinders with increased volumes, higher margins and lower costs.”

Specifically, Parkland’s retail fuel volumes for the second quarter jumped 22 per cent, to 458 million litres from 374 million.

The company pointed to its acquisition last June of Cango Inc. — which operates a network of more than 150 fuel retailers and dealers in Ontario — and growth within Parkland’s own dealer network, as reasons for the increase.

The improved retail fuel volumes more than offset a decline in commercial fuel volumes, which dipped 16 per cent to 315 million litres from 377 million litres.

Parkland said the decrease reflected a reallocation of 48 million litres to its wholesale, supply and distribution division. It added that wet conditions and low natural gas prices also resulted in reduced sales to oilpatch customers.

The total fuel volumes of just over one billion litres in the quarter represented a

Residential construction makes fewer starts

Canadian trade deficit doubles OTTAWA — Canada’s trade performance with the rest of the world worsened for the third consecutive month in June, providing fresh evidence of the global economic slowdown’s impact on the country’s key sector.

Statistics Canada reported Thursday the merchandise trade deficit nearly doubled to $1.8 billion during the month, from an upwardly revised $954 million in May. It was the third consecutive report showing a widening gap and represented the worst monthly deficit in almost two years. Although the bottom line was nearly twice economists’ expectations, analysts noted the picture was not as dark as the bottom line suggests as the deficit was entirely on the import side, which saw a 2.3 per cent gain.

Exports were mildly positive, growing 0.2 per cent, and were even stronger in volume terms, rising 1.1 per cent, as soft oil prices cut into the return on shipments.

Outlook for U.S. economy improves WASHINGTON — The outlook for the U.S. economy brightened a little Thursday after new data pointed to improvement in hiring and greater exports.

The number of Americans applying for unemployment benefits last week fell by 6,000 to a seasonally adjusted 361,000, the Labor Department said.

Economists noted that the level suggests the modest job creation in July could carry over into August. The U.S. trade deficit narrowed to $42.9 billion in June from $48 billion in May, the Commerce Department said in a separate report. That’s the lowest level in 18 months. The drop was largely because of cheaper oil imports.

But exports also rose to a record-high $185 billion, an encouraging sign at a time when global growth has slowed.

nine per cent increase over the 923 million litres a year earlier.

That helped to more than double Parkland’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA).

Meanwhile, operating and direct costs were down 13 per cent to $35.4 million from $40.6 million, and the refiners’ margins that Parkland shares in were higher.

In May, Parkland announced a five-year strategic plan called the Parkland Penny Plan, under which it hopes to double its annual EBITDA — to $250 million — through acquisitions and increased efficiencies.

“It’s great to follow up the launch of our Parkland Penny Plan in May with the outstanding results this quarter,” said Espey.

“Our success not only reflects a strong contribution from refiners’ margins but, more importantly, demonstrates traction on our cost-saving initiatives and the success of our fuel-marketing businesses.” hrichards@reddeeradvocate.com

Positive impact expected by new commission on Alberta wheat industry 11 DIRECTORS APPOINTED TO INTERIM BOARD BY AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS MARKETING COUNCIL

BY HARLEY RICHARDS ADVOCATE BUSINESS EDITOR A Lacombe-area farmer who is on the interim board of the new Alberta Wheat Commission thinks the producer organization will have a positive impact on the province’s wheat industry.

Terry Young is one of 11 directors appointed to the board by the Agricultural Products Marketing Council.

A director with the Alberta Canola Producers Commission, and a delegate with and former chair of the Alberta Barley Commission, he’s aware of the benefits commissions can bring.

“We’re there to move our industry forward, and this is a way for producers to help drive innovation.”

Despite the fact there are more than a dozen agricultural commissions in Alberta, the province’s 11,000 wheat producers were not represented in a comprehensive way until the Alberta Wheat Commission officially came into existence on Aug. 1. There was an Alberta Winter Wheat Commission and a Soft Wheat Producers Commission, but they accounted for only about five per cent of the wheat production in Alberta, said Young.

In fact, those two commission spearheaded the push for a broader wheat commission — a process that took four years to complete. It involved gauging the support of Alberta wheat producers through the distribution of a survey.

“We had over 500 surveys completed,” said Young, pointing out that 82 per cent of respondents supported the idea of a provincial wheat commission, three per cent opposed it, and the rest were either undecided or wanted more information.

That was enough to convince the provincial government to create the Alberta Wheat Commission under the Marketing of Agricultural Products Act. “Now we’re representing all of the wheat in Alberta,” said Young. “All seven classes that are grown here.”

That representation will include research, marketing initiatives and producer services like disease educa-

tion, he said. The timing is good, added Young, particularly with the Canadian Wheat Board’s monopoly over the marketing of Western Canadian grain coming to an end.

“Now that we do have some flexibility in what we can do in marketing, we may see a pasta plant developed in each province,” he suggested, adding that the commission could help facilitate the development of such valueadded markets.

The new commission should also give wheat producers more clout when dealing with industry issues, he said.

“In this climate, it’s so important that we all speak with one voice.”

Operations of the Alberta Wheat Commission will be financed through a refundable producer check-off equal to 70 cents a tonne. That’s expected to raise some $3.5 million per year, money Young thinks can be used to attract even more funding from government and industry.

“When you have a little bit more to play with, you leverage that with a whole bunch more.”

Although the organization is the first broad-based wheat commission in Canada, Young said both Saskatchewan and Manitoba are looking to follow suit.

Also appointed to the Alberta Wheat Commission’s interim board was Kevin Bender, a farmer from the Bentley area who is the current president of the Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association, a delegate with Alberta Barley Commission, and former chair of the Alberta Canola Producers Commission.

Regional meetings and elections are expected to be held this fall, with the commission’s first annual general meeting scheduled for the Jan. 29 to 31 FarmTech conference in Edmonton.

Also created as of Aug. 1 was the Alberta Oat Growers Commission. It will serve a similar role as the Alberta Wheat Commission, with its smaller membership paying a refundable check-off of 50 cents per tonne of oats for an estimated $140,000 in funding a year. hrichards@reddeeradvocate.com

The pace of residential construction in Red Deer slowed last month, with fewer starts on single-detached and multi-family homes than in the same period of 2011.

Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. reported on Thursday that work commenced on 49 homes in the city during July, including 28 single-detached and 21 multi-family units.

That marked a nearly 40 per cent slide from July 2011, when there were 80 starts, consisting of 34 single-detached and 46 multi-family projects.

In June, Red Deer recorded 58 starts: 42 singledetached and 16 multi-family.

The year-over-year slide in July construction starts in the city was the greatest among Alberta’s seven largest urban areas.

The city of Grande Prairie dipped 10 per cent from July 2011 to July 2012, while the other urban areas were all up: Lethbridge by 143 per cent, Medicine Hat by 86 per cent, the Edmonton metropolitan area by 39 per cent, the Calgary metropolitan area by 38 per cent and the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo by nine per cent.

Despite their decline in July, housing starts in Red Deer this year are 18 per cent ahead of the tally for the first seven months of 2011 — at 363 versus 308.

Elsewhere in the province, housing starts in Medicine Hat were up 94 per cent in the January-to-July period, in the Calgary metropolitan area they improved by 90 per cent, in the City of Grande Prairie they were 71 per cent higher and in the Edmonton metropolitan area they were up 36 per cent higher.

Wood Buffalo was down 28 per cent and Lethbridge was 25 per cent lower.

Nova reports strong profit showing for Q2 Nova Chemicals Corp. wasn’t able to match the record profits it earned in the second quarter of 2011, but its financial performance for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was still pretty strong.

The petrochemical company, which operates ethylene and polyethylene plants at Joffre, reported on Thursday that it had a profit $189 million for the second quarter of this year. That was down 16 per cent from the same period last year, when Nova earned a record $225 million.

For the six months ended June 30, the company’s profit was $380 million — slightly below the record $388 million it earned over the same six months in 2011.

Nova said in a news release that the year-overyear decline was due primarily to an increase in depreciation expense and a decline in the values of some feedstock derivatives.

However, six-month margins were higher in Nova’s olefins/polyolefins business unit — which includes its Joffre operations.

That unit generated $340 million in operating profit during the second quarter of 2012, down from $367 million last year.

The difference was attributed to a higher depreciation expense and lower margins, with these partially offset by higher sales volumes.

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the olefins/polyolefins unit produced $648 million in operating profit, which was the same as for the same period last year.

Nova’s operating activities this year have actually generated more cash than in 2011: $401 million versus $213 million in the second quarter, and $633 million versus $258 million in the first half of the year.

Nova said these increases were the result of continued strong earnings and reduced working capital.

Nova is a wholly owned subsidiary of International Petroleum Investment Company of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

In financials, an index that was down 0.01 per cent, interest rate conditions have left a mark on some Canadian firms.

Manulife Financial Corp.

(TSX:MFC) posted a $300-million net loss in the second quarter, citing challenging equity markets and interest rate environment. The loss was in stark contrast to the $1.2-billion profit it posted in the previous quarter and a $490-million profit in the second quarter of 2011. Losses were 18 cents per share, down from a profit of 26 cents per share a year earlier. After the report, its shares were up six cents to $10.89.

Sun Life Financial Inc. (TSX:SLF) reported late Wednesday that second-quarter profits dropped 88 per cent to $51 million, or nine cents per diluted share, from $408 million, or 68 cents per diluted share, in the 2011 period. Revenue grew to $6.05 billion from $5.15 billion, largely due to gains in the fair value of certain financial instruments. Its shares dropped 17 cents to $21.60.

Concerns about the global economy remain in focus despite an upswing in optimism earlier this week.

In China, hopes are that monetary authorities will do more to shore up economic growth in the world’s second largest economy.

With inflation in China falling to 1.8 per cent in July from the previous month’s 2.2 per cent, expectations are rising that Beijing may ease monetary policy to boost economic growth, which has slowed sharply this year. Separate figures on industrial production and retail sales confirmed the slowdown.

MARKETS CLOSE TORONTO — The Toronto stock market closed the session higher on Thursday as energy stocks led a broad climb that widely ignored pessimism about the economy.

The S&P/TSX composite index was up 77.09 points at 11,858.13, in a session rife with earnings reports from Canadian companies. The TSX Venture Exchange climbed 7.37 points to 1,193.05.

The Canadian dollar was at 100.81 cents US, up 0.27 of a cent.

Statistics Canada reported that the country’s trade performance with the rest of the world worsened for the third consecutive month in June.

The trade deficit nearly doubled to $1.8 billion during the month, from an upwardly revised $954 million in May. The TSX energy sector was the top gainer, up 1.8 per cent. Canadian Natural Resources (TSX:CNQ) shares gained six per cent, or $1.82, to $31.39, after the major energy producer announced it was cutting 2012 spending some $680 million or about 10 per cent.

The September crude contract on the New York Mercantile Exchange moved a penny higher to US$93.36 a barrel.

“We seem to be rallying, albeit slowly, on the backs of possible central banks easing or stimulus,” said Allan Small, senior adviser at DWM Securities.

“I think that’s why the markets seem to be (moving) up. The volume is pretty low for a regular summer.”

On Wall Street, markets barely budged. The relative quiet is partly due to a lack of major developments in the European debt crisis or decisive news on the U.S. economy. Another reason is simply because traders like to clear out for vacation in August.

The Dow Jones industrial average dipped 10.45 points to 13,165.19 and the broader S&P increased 0.58 points to 1,402.80. The Nasdaq gained 7.39 points to 3,018.64.

The U.S. Labor Department said applications for unemployment benefits fell by 6,000 last week to a seasonally adjusted 361,000, a level consistent with modest gains in hiring. The less volatile four-week average rose by 2,250 to 368,250 in the week ended Aug. 4.

September copper moved up 3.5 cents to US$3.43 a pound while December gold increased $4.20 to settle at US$1,620.20 an ounce.

In the retail sector, supermarket operator Metro Inc. (TSX:MRU) says profits were $144.4 million in its fiscal third quarter, above analyst estimates. Revenue for the quarter was up 3.8 per cent to $3.7 billion. Shares were up $1.61 to $58.13.

Tim Hortons Inc. (TSX:THI) posted a 13.1 per cent increase in earnings to $108.1 million or 69 cents per share, up from $95.5 million or 58 cents per share in the same yearearlier period. Revenue rose 11.8 per cent to $785.6 million. Its shares dropped $1.44 to $50.84.

Canadian Tire (TSX:CTC) says profits climbed more than 25 per cent to $133.7 million or $1.63 per diluted

WALMART CORRECTION NOTICE

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER — Those reading major newspapers in British Columbia, Alberta or Ontario over the past two days might have noticed a fullpage ad placed by Calgary-based Enbridge.

The statement from the oil giant emphasized the company’s “99.999 per cent” pipeline safety record and its commitment to preventing oil spills.

While Enbridge (TSX: ENB) maintains the ad was not a direct reaction to negative publicity it has been receiving in recent months, some critics are viewing it as an effort to win over those opposed to one of the company’s major proposed Canadian projects.

Enbridge’s pipeline safety record has been attacked recently by environmental advocates, politicians and the media due to several spills from its pipelines in the U.S. The criticism comes as the company is trying to gain approval for its controversial Northern Gateway project, which would take Alberta oil to northern B.C. to be shipped to foreign markets.

Indeed, it’s likely no coincidence that a prominent industry group staged a separate news conference Thursday in Ottawa to promote an existing program aimed at making pipelines safer and more environmentally sound.

Mike Hillman, a former B.C. Liberal party campaign manager and a former public affairs consultant, said the Enbridge ad indicates the company may be trying to “play catch up” with those opposed to Northern Gateway.

Hillman said if Enbridge is trying to garner support for the project, it should have made the company’s pipeline safety statistics more apparent to the public sooner.

“If in fact you have an exceptional record and you have qualities that are in fact very real, then there’s no reason why those things shouldn’t be known to people much earlier in its existence,” he said.

“By bringing out those things now, by the sounds of it, to counter some of the reactions to their project in B.C and to also recent incidents that have happened, it’s a bit of catch up.”

University of British Columbia social marketing professor Darren Dahl said the ad, which is a written statement by the company’s president Al Monaco and chief executive officer Pat Daniel, may also be an attempt

to move public sentiment by giving out information that Enbridge feels is more accurate.

“If you asked someone 10 years ago about pipelines, they probably had no opinion or they’re like, ‘Yeah they’re well-managed,”’ Dahl said.

“But because of the high stakes of the (Northern Gateway) proposal, and there has been some pipeline incidents in past years that has caught the media’s attention, people don’t have the same neutral or positive attitude... towards pipelines.”

Indeed, Enbridge’s ad stresses the necessity of getting the facts on pipelines straight.

“Pipeline safety has been much in the news lately, and so it’s important to give the issue some context—to look beyond the latest headline and recognize the outstanding long-term safety record of this important energy delivery system,” Monaco and Daniel wrote.

But the company’s executive vice president of western access said the ad is not a direct response to some of the negative publicity it has been subjected to.

“We’re just trying to assure the public that we do take safety very seriously,” Janet Holder told the Canadian Press in a phone interview.

“This just further enhances that we take safety very seriously and that our track record would show that.”

Last month, the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board criticized Enbridge’s response to a pipeline spill of millions of litres of oil into Michigan’s Kalamazoo River on July 25, 2010, affecting more than 50 kilometres of waterways and wetlands.

Shortly after the scathing U.S. report, which likened Enbridge to the “Keystone Kops,” Enbridge announced it would invest another $500 million in safety improvements to the Northern Gateway pipeline.

But the oil giant continues to see opposition to the proposal.

Hillman said Enbridge would need to do much more than placing an ad if it wants to persuade British Columbians to support Northern Gateway.

“As much as you like to have a large flag that you can wave, the reality is you’re still dealing with aboriginal communities, and with others all the way along the pipeline and other interest groups,” he said.

“You need to be able to work with them and develop those relationships as well.”

‘Earth tubes’ are ancient technology, can either heat or cool homes

Famous family says fossils confirm theory of more pre-human species

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Our family tree may have sprouted some long-lost branches going back nearly 2 million years.

A famous paleontology family has found fossils that they think confirm their theory that there are two additional pre-human species besides the one that eventually led to modern humans.

A team led by Meave Leakey, daughter-in-law of famed scientist Louis Leakey, found facial bones from one creature and jawbones from two others in Kenya.

That led the researchers to conclude that man’s early ancestor had plenty of human-like company from other species.

These would not be Homo erectus, believed to be our direct ancestor.

They would be more like very distant

ENERGY

cousins, who when you go back even longer in time, shared an ancient common ancestor, one scientist said.

But other experts in human evolution are not convinced by what they say is a leap to large conclusions based on limited evidence.

It is the continuation of a long-running squabble in anthropology about the earliest members of our own genus, or class, called Homo —an increasingly messy family history. And much of it stems from a controversial discovery that the Leakeys made 40 years ago.

In their new findings, the Leakey team says that none of their newest fossil discoveries match erectus, so they had to be from another flat-faced relatively large species with big teeth.

The new specimens have “a really distinct profile” and thus they are “something very different,” said Meave Leakey, describing the study published online Wednesday in Nature.

The Per- cal.ca. sian Empire used “solar chimneys and earth tubes” to cool their homes in the hot arid climate.

There are three basic design configurations for earth tubes or EAHEs. The closed loop, which uses a “closed system” of roughly 30 to 150 metres of thin wall four-to-24inch PVC piping buried at three metres, takes the air from the building and moves it through the underground system to either pre-heat or precool the circulated air as need and season dictate.

The next is the open system, which simply uses a long, straight 30-metre run of tubing to bring tempered and filtered outside air into the home.

When combined with a heat recovery ventilator (HRV), it can reach efficiencies of 80 to 95 per cent. Filters for the intake of the system are recommended to meet MERV 8+ (minimum efficiency rating).

The third is a combination system.

This configuration uses dampers and control units that allow outside air to be brought in when clothes dryers, bathroom vent fans, or fireplaces drop the air pressure in the building.

When conditions require simple heating or cooling of building air temperature, the closed loop is utilized to prewarm or cool the circulated air for an HRV. Ground tubes are most effective where there is a large temperature differential such as in the extremes of summer and winter.

They are not so effective in areas where ambient air temperature is stable; Florida would be one such climate.

HEY SISTA! ‘It’s about an ex-lover who was telling people I was stalking him.’

BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF When Sista Monica sings the blues, she invokes the full colour spectrum of life.

The California-based singer considers herself to be too much of a buoyant survivor — of cancer, of unsatisfying relationships — to mope about musically.

As her performing alter-ego, Sista Monica, Monica Parker tends to produce toe-tappingly energetic songs that inspire her listeners to leap to their feet and dance about.

“I like that feel-good energy,” said Parker, a headliner on Saturday, Aug. 18, at the Central Music Festival, north of Red Deer.

The 2012 Blues Music Association nominee appreciates tunes that “speak the truth and reach people on a deeper level . . . And blues is the truth,” said Parker. “The blues offer us some authenticity.”

Some of that slice-of-life honesty is behind the Sista Monica song, Stop Talking About Me Stalking You. In case you were wondering, “It’s about an ex-lover who was telling people I was stalking him,” said Parker, with a resonant laugh.

“The groove is really funky and, like a lot of my lyrics, it comes from me saying something to someone, or affirming something to myself.”

So was Parker stalking him? “No, I wasn’t,” she responded.

“I just wasn’t taking ‘No’ for an answer!”

Her song, Soul Shine, comes from Parker’s memory of her mother telling her “your soul shine is better than sunshine.” The phrase was borrowed from a Warren Haynes tune.

“My mom is behind a lot of my music. She’s one of my biggest influences,” said Parker, who grew up listening to her mother’s Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight and Diana Ross and the Supremes records.

She also sang in a church choir in her native Gary, Ind., that was so virtuosic it was often featured on a Chicago radio program.

The Central Music Festival runs at an outdoor site north of Red Deer on: • Friday, Aug. 17, from 6 p.m. to midnight • Saturday, Aug. 18, from noon to midnight • Sunday, Aug. 19, noon to 5:30 p.m.

Tickets are $80 for a three-day festival pass ($60 for students 13 to 17, and seniors over 65). Families of six can get in for $240. Camping is free.

One-day passes are also available for $20 for Friday (6 p.m. to midnight), $60 for Saturday (noon to midnight), and $30 for Sunday (noon to 5:30 p.m.)

For the full performance lineup, a site map, and more ticket information, go to www.centralmusicfest.com.

Yet somehow, Parker’s powerful singing voice got relegated to the shower after she grew up, joined the Marines and became a corporate recruiter.

It wasn’t until she spotted her neighbour, Stanley Burrell (aka M.C. Hammer) performing on the Arsenio Hall show in 1992 that Parker thought, “If he can do that, I know I can do it.”

She hastily assembled a band to launch her singing career, envisioning it being “a part-time thing on the side, to keep my mind occupied after work.”

But almost immediately, Parker began landing prestigious gigs, such as the Monterey Bay Blues Festival, where she shared the bill with Etta James, Gladys Knight and the Neville Brothers. “People began taking me seriously. . . .

“They told me, ‘You need to record,’ ” so she formed her own label, Mo Muscle Records, and put out her debut album, Get Out of My Way! in 1995.

The album’s success took Parker and her band on a surprise world tour after the song Windy City Burner started climbing charts.

More blues and gospel albums followed, and Sista Monica started racking up critical acclaim. A Blues Revue critic called her “star material all the way,” while Jazz Times described Parker an “explosive singer” who smokes the competition.

Parker was flying high with tours to Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver when she noticed a lump under one arm in 2003. She was given a devastating diagnosis.

Doctors gave her three months to live unless she submitted to an aggressive regime of chemotherapy, radiation and surgery on the tumour. “Sometimes life can . . . knock you to your knees,” recalled Parker, who persevered through two years of treatments, never taking a complete break from music.

Once declared cancer free, she put out the upbeat albums Sweet Inspiration and You Can’t Keep a Good Woman Down, to share her newfound lease on life with her listeners.

Now strangers often approach to tell Parker how much her music means to them, and the singer is gratified.

“You’re never promised anything in this life, but I feel blessed to have a singing career and a purpose. . . . This is God’s gift, I guess,” said the 56-year-old.

Parker’s latest album, Living in the Danger Zone, is about the risks taken whenever you give your heart to somebody.

She related, “I was in love with someone for nine years and had the illusion I was in a good relationship. But it ended up not being the best for me.”

Parker discovered it was more painful staying with someone “who does not support you achieving your better self” than just walking away.

The blues singer looks forward to performing for the first time in Central Alberta. While she loves outdoor festivals because of their musical mix and laid-back vibe, Parker said she will sing wherever she’s wanted.

“If there are 20 people in a room, and I can fill those people with some inspiration and hope, then that’s what I will decide to do.” lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

Remember to have a good time Total Recall Two stars (out of four) Rated: 14A Total Recall suffers from amnesia, which is normally a good thing for a remake. Who wants to watch a straight repeat of what came before?

Yet in this case, a little memory would go a long way. Missing in action from this sci-fi actioner, apart from a trip to Mars, is much of the dark humour that made the 1990 Arnold Schwarzenegger original so entertaining.

Colin Farrell is a fine dramatic choice to play blue-collar warrior Douglas Quaid, the man who knew too little. He’s also capable of humour, as Horrible Bosses proved last summer and which he demonstrates here with a few droll asides.

But Farrell lacks Schwarzenegger’s zest for the cheesy one-liner — such as when Ah-nold grunted “SCREW YOU!” at a man he’d just impaled on an industrial drill.

You can hardly blame Farrell for this, since only Schwarzenegger is Schwarzenegger. And Paul Verhoeven directed his version of Total Recall as a comedy vehicle for the big guy, which is why he didn’t pay much heed to Philip K. Dick’s 1966 short story that inspired it, We Can Remember It for You Wholesale.

Len Wiseman guides his committeewritten remake as if he has something else in mind: namely, the Underworld undead franchise that he writes and occasionally directs. He casts his Un-

derworld lead, Kate Beckinsale, in the significant role of Mrs. Quaid, and gives her vastly more screen time by essentially combining her character with the one played by Michael Ironside PETER in the 1990 Total HOWELL Recall.

That’s not the only change.

The setting is disagreeably Earthbound: Mars is only talked about, and the setting is a Toronto smudged up and digitally tweaked to be a post-Apocalypse London of the 22nd century.

It’s all relentlessly grey buildings and artificially lit interiors, with few of the vivid colour flourishes of Verhoeven’s take. If it weren’t for the airborne cars zipping about and Star Wars shock troopers that seem to have been borrowed from George Lucas, you’d almost take this to be T.O. decades from now, the deserved result of our permanent planning paralysis.

Toronto spotters won’t recognize much beyond glimpses of the financial district, waterfront highways and the TTC’s film-loving Lower Bay station.

For this, they shut Lake Shore Boulevard for two days last summer?

Federation of Britain, which seems to combine U.K. territory with American leadership and Blade Runner inhabitants, and The Colony, aka Australia, where low-paid factory drones such as Farrell’s Quaid reside. He commutes to the UFB each day via a funhouse ride called The Fall, accompanied by best pal Harry (Bokeem Woodbine).

What begins as an unnecessarybut-OK remake steadily becomes an annoying one. The antagonists take turns pointing guns at each other, diving through walls and setting off those Acme Co. bombs with red LED timers that people apparently still use 100 years from now. They also spend a lot of time talking about what’s real and what isn’t, and who’s doing what to

whom, providing much more exposition than this film needs.

Total Recall is better with the details than its predecessor, and some of them provide a few laughs, such as a brief flash of currency with Barack Obama’s face on them (will the U.S. yield to U.K. rule sometime this century? Discuss).

But it makes you yearn for the screw-you goofiness of Verhoeven’s film, which was considerably more violent but also more fun. The new movie repeats the visual pun about a threebreasted hooker, but even though it looks much more realistic thanks to CGI, it’s still a 22-year-old gag.

Sackhoff credits kindred spirit for latest success THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — Actress Katee Sackhoff has a confession: She’s obsessed with TV personality Bethenny Frankel.

“She’s probably a kindred spirit of mine,” said Sackhoff, who stars on the A&E series Longmire, in a recent interview.

“She’s my sister from another mother (and) I’ve never met her.”

Frankel became famous as one of the cast members of The Real Housewives of New York.

She’s written several books and recently debuted a talk show on Fox. Sackhoff says she follows her on Twitter.

“I’ve never met somebody in the public eye who speaks as honestly as I do,” Sackhoff says of Frankel, “and it’s refreshing because there are times where I question whether or not people can actually handle the truth or if they want it. I’m a very open book about who I am. I think it’s the only way to kind of touch people and she’s done it.”

Sackhoff, 32, has had success playing women

who aren’t shrinking violets.

She starred as Kara “Starbuck” Thrace on Battlestar Galactica, which made her a fan boy sex symbol.

Now she’s holding her own as Deputy Sheriff Victoria “Vic” Moretti on Longmire, based on the bestselling novels by Craig Johnson. Robert Taylor plays Sheriff Walt Longmire.

The show airs its firstseason finale Sunday.

Sackhoff says she enjoys playing Vic. “I love the fact that she walks into a room and she wakes you up.

“She’s loud, she’s fast and she’s great at her job, and she says things that she probably shouldn’t say and she does things that she probably shouldn’t do,” she says. “I think that she’s probably the closest that I’ve played to myself.”

Longmire premiered to 4.1 million viewers, making it A&E’s top-rated original series premiere ever. It’s been picked up for a second season. “(The ratings are) four times what Battlestar used to get an epi-

sode. It’s a hit and it’s really weird. I feel this fondness for it that I felt toward Battlestar,” Sackhoff says.

She credits supporters of Battlestar Galactica with helping make Longmire a success.

“I do believe that loyal fan base is a large chunk of our viewership.

I think that they’re amazing and I’m incredibly lucky and our show is lucky and Battlestar was lucky.”

The series is filmed in New Mexico, which Sackhoff says is an adjustment for her.

“In Santa Fe, it’s really dry, really high in the mountains and really close to the sun. ...

I’ve always tried to be as close to water as possible and there it’s not as possible.”

Sarah Polley, Xavier Dolan, Michael McGowan and Brandon Cronenberg, but festival programmer Steve Gravestock listed a slew of provocative features exploring young people and violence.

There’s Anita Doron’s The Lesser Blessed, which deals with bullying in a community in the Northwest Territories; Kim Nguyen’s African drama Rebelle (War Witch), about a 14-year-old child soldier; Jason Buxton’s Blackbird, in which an alienated teen’s online threat ignites fear in a small community; and Lapeyre’s I Declare War, which straddles fantasy and reality.

“The film deals with how kids take on the statements they get from adults about violence and what that constitutes,” says Gravestock.

“And it’s also magnified, what goes on in the film, because of course with a kid or a teenager ... it’s a much more emotionally intense time of life so it’s about that sort of collision between ... dealing with adult views and children’s interpretations of them.”

As for the rest of the lineup, Gravestock touted a broad selection ranging from perverse farce to intense drama, among them seven documentaries and seven films from female filmmakers.

They include Polley’s documentary Stories We Tell, in which she serves as both filmmaker and detective as she interrogates various family members who each recount their version of events.

Meanwhile, One Week director McGowan returns to the festival with Still, starring James Cromwell as an 89-year-old who de™ fies the government to build a home for his ailing wife, played by Genevieve Bujold, and Quebec phenom Dolan returns with his gender-bending love story Laurence Anyways.

Playing football has risks and rewards

Drunk driving not tolerated

Dear Annie: My 62-year-old husband and I have been married for 25 years. For the past 11, he has owned a small yet profitable bar. While he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do much handson work anymore, he still supervises the bartenders and the business.

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the problem.

My husband drives home drunk at least once a week. There are taxi services that easily could pick him up and return him the next day, but he prefers to drive himself.

I have threatened to leave. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve threatened to toss his belongings in the yard. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve even threatened to call the cops.

But I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t done any of those things, and he knows my threats are empty. Most of the time, he denies that he was drunk, and we go silent for a few days, not speaking at all.

I have stressed what he is putting at risk. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s his job to prevent this with his customers, yet heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s somehow above it all.

Last night was the last straw. Since itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never a good idea to talk to drunk people, I let him know I was angry and then went to bed. He is setting a horrible example for our 21-year-old son. Any suggestions? -The Drunkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wife Dear Wife: You both are setting a horrible example. As long as there are no consequences for his behavior, your husband will continue to drive drunk. Please donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

Despite these alarming facts, I think it could be a mistake to prohibit your son from trying out for the team. Football is a great sport that teaches kids teamwork and helps them get in shape. At this point, the dangers of college and pro football are not a factor regarding your son, and probably never will be.

However, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;win at all costsâ&#x20AC;? mentality that pervades professional sports can trickle down to the high school level as well. You â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and your son â&#x20AC;&#x201D; simply need to be aware of the risks involved. Most injuries will have no long-term impact, so long as theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re allowed to heal properly. Talk to the coach, and make sure he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t push his players back out on the field too soon after being hurt. Playing while injured isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just tough â&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stupid.

Question: I have a 15-year-old daughter whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very artistic and melodramatic. Lately, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s started acting odd â&#x20AC;&#x201D; dressing in black, staying in her room a

ANNIE wait for the consequences to be deadly. Follow through on some of those threats, particularly the one about calling the police. He may become angry, but you could be saving his life, as well as the lives of other drivers.

Also contact Al-Anon (alanon.alateen.org) and get some emotional support.

Friday, August 10 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DATE: Lucas Till, 22; Nicole Bass, 48; Antonio Banderas, 52 THOUGHT OF THE DAY: Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re slowly building towards the second exact conversation between Uranus and Pluto, to take place next month. Collectively, we are asked to live Carl Jungâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assertion, One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.

It will be a great day, enjoy!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Your heart feels wide open, as a spirit of optimism fills you. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re expecting great miracles, there might be some disappointment.

However, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a knack for attracting plenty of wonderful opportunities. It will be a great year, enjoy!

ARIES (March 21-April 19): True freedom and self-possession come when we drop images of celebrities and focus on accepting and enjoying who and where we are ourselves. Whether celebrity or public presence, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t compare yourself to a persona that is really is just an illusion.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The connoisseurs of mass culture could tell you who is at the top of all the lists, from the best dressed to the most famous.

You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but come across one of these mass culture cues now. A story of a star holds remarkable similarity to your own.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Some seem driven by a cause.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to tell them otherwise, even with overwhelming evidence that their fight might not be worth his or her energy. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t try to convince someone to abandon a stance. It holds a needed, unconscious purpose at this point in their lives.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Any discipline has a large body of work to draw from. New ideas come by creating new connections that merge two previously unrelated concepts. As revolutionary as you feel, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what is already there that will help you today.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s said that very little can truly be innovative anymore. However, there are still products, services, and concepts that take us by surprise and delight with their special characteristics. One of these products lands in your lap, bringing a smile to your face.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): All of us have a reputation, even if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only within a small sphere or our community. But even the worst persona can be reinvented. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re undergoing a process that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as apparent to you as it is to a random reconnection now.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Those inclined to delve into the inner workings of the psyche have a few common characteristics, one of which is the desire to delve deep and uncover the root cause.

lot and avoiding the family. Is this normal teenage behavior, or should I be concerned?

Juli: Yes, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s normal teenage behavior, and yes, you should be concerned.

The adolescent years often include the behaviors your daughter is exhibiting: mood swings, withdrawal and going through â&#x20AC;&#x153;fadsâ&#x20AC;? with music and clothing.

Just because these behaviors are normal doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean they shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cause concern.

Teenagers lack both life experience and the ability to think through consequences of their choices.

This leaves them vulnerable to high-risk behaviors, including drug and alcohol use, sexual activity and self-injury.

Parents of teens should be especially attentive when they notice drastic changes in behavior.

While a certain amount of moodiness is normal in teens, if you see consistent themes of despair or thoughts of self-injury or suicide, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to contact someone who specializes in teen issues to help your daughter weather the storm.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Some people know you personally. Others may only know you from afar, and know an illusion of whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presented.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your imagination opens the door to a breakthrough, the kind that can lead to a new sense of independence and self-sufficiency. You believe in yourself enough to go your own way. Hold yourself in high regard.

Dear Mom: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good sign that your son feels comfortable discussing his sex life with you, but it is unfair to believe that a girl on birth control pills is going to be more promiscuous than a boy using condoms. And while we arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t crazy about 15-year-olds having sex, once they start, they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t likely to stop.

You should be relieved that both kids are being responsible about using protection to prevent not only pregnancy, but also sexually transmitted diseases. That said, you are not obligated to pay for his girlfriendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choice of birth control. He should continue to use condoms.

52422H7-18

Dear Annie: My husband and I are the parents of a 15-year-old boy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Willâ&#x20AC;? is a good student.

He has been in a friendly relationship with a 15-year-old girl, and it has become serious.

They have had sex on two different occasions, and Will used a condom both times.

There was a brief pregnancy scare, and the girl was so concerned that she told her parents about her predicament.

Now her father wants us to pay for her birth control pills.

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what to say about this. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what type of insurance they have. And I think putting her on the pill is saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Great, have sex.â&#x20AC;? And who knows whether she will have partners other than my son. Is he responsible for her birth control?

What should I do? -- His Mom

Question: Our son wants to try out for the football team this year, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m concerned. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only a freshman, and we have friends whose sons have sustained fairly serious injuries playing high school football.

Should we forbid him from trying out?

Jim: Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no denying football is a rough sport.

I should know â&#x20AC;&#x201D; my own high school football career ended with a broken collarbone!

And thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a significant amount of research suggesting that broken bones are just the tip of the iceberg. According to a 2010 New York Times article, football accounts for 22 percent of all concussions among 8- to 19-year-olds. In fact, 27 percent of football players ages 12 through 17 have had a least one concussion.

And the sport only gets more brutal when you move to the college and professional levels. Researchers have identified a serious condition in some NFL players called chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or C.T.E. It can develop after repeated concussions and other trauma, resulting in serious depression and lack of impulse control. This condition may affect college-level players, too.

RODGERS John (Jack) John (Jack) Rodgers of Red Deer, Alberta passed away peacefully in his sleep on Saturday, August 4, 2012 at the age of 58. Jack was raised in Ballymacarn, County Down, Northern Ireland in a large, caring family. At the age of sixteen he met the love of his life, Gladys Nelson, at a local dance. They married in March of 1976 and immigrated to Canada in April of that year.

Jack and Gladys came with little money but Jack was†ambitious and determined to build a good life for his family. He†earned his Bricklayer’s ticket and worked for various companies before ultimately building his business Fireplace Connections through hard work and dedication. The business meant a lot to Jack, but most important was his family. In 1977 they welcomed a daughter, Alysia, and in 1982, a son, John Curtis. Jack loved children and none more than his two grandchildren, Gage and Sasha.

He doted on them from the moment they were born. Jack was a kind, gentle, generous man who will be missed by all that knew him. We love you, Granda. Jack is lovingly remembered by his spouse, Gladys Rodgers of Red Deer; daughter, Alysia Dyjur (Stan Dyjur) of Red Deer; son, John Curtis Rodgers (Trudy Ng) of Red Deer; two grandchildren, Gage and Sasha Dyjur of Red Deer; four brothers, Sammy (Nora), Matt (Margaret), Dickie (Libby) and Day (Florence)† all of Ballynahinch, Northern Ireland; three sisters, Marion Boon (Ken) of Ontario, Pauline McClure (Norman) and Fiona Nelson (Norman) of Ballynahinch, Northern Ireland; brothers-in-law, George (Joan) Nelson, John (Norma) Nelson and Cecil (Lynda) Nelson all of County Down, Northern Ireland; sisters-in-law, Ethel (James) McDonald of Scotland, Elsie Nelson of County Down, Northern Ireland, Phyllis (Riddell) Murphy of County Armagh, Northern Ireland and Avril (David) Carse of County Down, Northern Ireland; as well as numerous nieces and nephews to which he was a special uncle. He is predeceased by his father, Mathew Rodgers and his mother, Mary Ann (Minnie) Rodgers; his father-in-law, Stanley Nelson and mother-in-law, Annie Nelson.

It is with great sadness that we announce the death of our dear mom, Gladys Jensen (Jaffray) of Red Deer, formerly of Rimbey, Alberta, who passed away at the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre on Wednesday, August 8, 2012 at the age of 93 years.

Gladys was the heart of her family and the glue that bonded all generations together. She was born to be a mother, loved her family unconditionally, and was so very generous with her family and friends. Gladys was raised in the Sunset Hills west of Bentley on August 21, 1918, and was the 11th of 16 children born to the late John and Sophie Solberg. In 1940, Gladys was united in marriage to James Jaffray and together they lived on the family farm in the Lockhart District where they raised five children. They retired to Red Deer where Gladys worked for several years on the switchboard at the Red Deer Regional Hospital. During and after these years, they made many happy memories traveling, dancing, and entertaining friends. Gladys took pride in the many quilts she made over the years and gave to others.

James passed away in 1989, and Gladys moved close to her sister and best friend, Violet Taylor. In 1993, Gladys married Jim Jensen and they resided in Rimbey for several years before moving to Victoria Park in Red Deer. Jim passed away in 2005. Although the last years became difficult for Gladys and memories faded, she continued to have a keen sense of humour and was kind to all. Since 2011, Gladys resided in the Bethany Care Centre in Sylvan Lake. We are so grateful to the kind and caring staff that were a part of her life and took such compassionate care of Gladys in her last years. Gladys will be lovingly remembered and sadly missed by her daughters, Beverley (Duane) Young of Marwayne, Alberta; Lynn (Greg) Markowski of Edmonton; and Sharon (Rodney) Wilkins of Bentley; and her son, Lyle (Sherry) Jaffray of Calgary; as well as ten grandchildren; eighteen great grandchildren; and two great-great grandchildren. She will also be lovingly remembered by her sisters, Olga Newton; Inga Beddoes; and Myrtle Patapoff; her brother, Joseph Solberg; in addition to many nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. Gladys was predeceased by her first husband, James Jaffray; her son, Leslie Jaffray; her grandson, Jason Young; her parents; five brothers and six sisters; her second husband, Jim Jensen and his brother, Don; and many in-laws. With respect for Gladys’ wishes, no formal funeral service will be held. A family gathering to celebrate her life will take place at a later date. Cremation took place at the Central Alberta Crematorium, Red Deer. If friends desire, memorial tributes in Gladys’ Memory may be made directly to the Bethany Care Society ~ Bethany Sylvan Lake, 4700 47 Avenue, Sylvan Lake, Alberta T4S 2M3; or to the charity of one’s choice. Condolences to the family may also be expressed by e-mail to: special_reflections@telusplanet.net Cremation Arrangements for the Late Gladys Jensen (Jaffray) entrusted to the care of OBERHAMMER FUNERAL CHAPELS Rimbey, AB. 403-843-4445

Wading through the deep waters of health apps Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re big fans of health apps, those clever little programs that convert your smartphone or tablet into a stress reliever, workout buddy, healthy eating log, even a personal assistant that tracks your blood pressure, blood sugar, vision, sleep and a lot more.

But with 40,000-plus to choose from, how do you know where to start?

Good question. App stores donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have authoritative medical reviewers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; yet â&#x20AC;&#x161; to make sure health apps live up to their claims. And apps are big business ($1.4 billion by the end of this year!), and that means big hype.

Fortunately, researchers are starting to study health-related apps; a medical journal devoted to mHealth (thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;mobile healthâ&#x20AC;?!) just started up.

And you may have seen the recent headlines about the U.S. Food and Drug Administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interest in putting medical-app developers through the same approval process as medical devices (pacemakers and coronary stents, for example).

But for now, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to try to help you make the best choices. Start your hunt with these mSmart (short for â&#x20AC;&#x153;mobile smartâ&#x20AC;?) strategies. Then take some of our favorite apps for a test drive.

No. 1: Set your health goal, then look for an app to help you. The best apps complement the work you do every day to stay healthy. Like your sneakers or the veggie steamer in your kitchen cabinet, an app canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do the work for you; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re tools. So start with a goal in mind. Maybe you want to keep track of your weekly walking totals (how many steps? 10,000 a day!), or would you rather count your daily servings of fruit and veggies? Then look for an app that can help.

No. 2: Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe the hype. Immediate weight loss! End that 20-year smoking habit today! If an app promises to deliver results that sound too good to be true, they probably are. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t waste your time and money.

No. 3: Read usersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; reviews. Let other app lovers give you valuable clues about whether a program delivers. PCworld.com and the American Dietetic Association (eatright.org/appreviews/) can give you good insights; and the Apple, Blackberry and Android marketplaces offer interesting user-generated reviews. For the truly motivated: Find the developerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name in the app store or company website, then check if it has designed other apps. Did it work with experts on this one?

No. 4: Test-drive a couple. No app suits everybody. We suspect that maybe as many as 30 percent of people who try any one app stick with it. So plan on test-driving a couple.

Since many are free and many more cost less than a dollar to download, this wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t break your budget. The right app for you should be easy and convenient to use, and should deliver promised results.

MIKE ROIZEN & MEHMET OZ

DRS. OZ AND ROIZEN Five Free Apps We Love S.O.S. This free app for Android phones, developed by one of us (Dr. Oz) with the American Red Cross and Sharecare, gives you step-by-step instructions for dealing with a variety of emergencies, including choking, broken bones, strokes and allergic reactions.

Go! To Sleep. This unique app â&#x20AC;&#x201D; from Dr. Mikeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cleveland Clinic â&#x20AC;&#x201D; reveals your personal â&#x20AC;&#x153;sleep score,â&#x20AC;? rating the quality of your sleep and showing you how caffeine, alcohol, exercise, relaxation and other factors help or hurt your slumber.

MyQuitLine. This one offers expert advice and connects you -- by phone or by live help -- with a trained quitting-smoking counselor at the National Cancer Institute Quitline.

Glucose Buddy. This app lets people with diabetes track blood sugar levels and A1Cs, and creates graphs showing blood sugar levels over time and printouts for your doc. It also can track your diet, exercise routines and medications.

Calorie Counter by FatSecret. This four-star-rated food and diet app uses your daily calorie goal to help you set up healthy meal plans. You can keep track of what you eat and your exercise routines, and it lets you compare what works and what doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t with other users.

Mehmet Oz, M.D. is host of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Dr. Oz Show,â&#x20AC;? and Mike Roizen, M.D. is Chief Medical Officer at the Cleveland Clinic Wellness Institute. For more information go to www.RealAge.com.

The 2012â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Hurry in for the Best Selection!

THE CANADIAN PRESS Teenagers who fail to get enough sleep could find thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a trickledown effect from the bedroom into the classroom.

Inadequate sleep, the effect on the brain and the resulting behaviour of adolescents was in focus at the annual meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies in June. The presentation was led by neuropsychologist Dean Beebe, whose research explores the impact of sleep restriction on teens.

Part of his study involves a simulated classroom and having kids watch educational videos while rested and while sleep-deprived.

They were also quizzed afterwards and had their behaviour filmed.

While there are individual differences, Beebe said, as a group, researchers observed much better attention and mood when kids are well-rested versus when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sleep-restricted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We see poorer attention on computerized tasks and we see less attentive behaviours in this simulated classroom.

And the fallout from that is quizzes that we give at the end, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a significant difference in performance on those as well,â&#x20AC;? said Beebe. Beebe said the average sleep duration for teens on school nights is around seven hours, while clinical recommendations are at about nine hours.

For older children who stay up later on weekends and have earlier bedtimes during the week, the transition represents a â&#x20AC;&#x153;really hard time shift,â&#x20AC;? said registered occupational therapist Jennifer Garden.
