PEACE OFFICER KILLED

Safety a big issue for local peace officers

REVIEW OF DEATH TO LOOK AT ARMING WORKERS, PUTTING THEM IN PAIRS

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

CALGARY — Alberta’s justice minister says a review into the alleged murder of a peace officer will examine whether he should have been armed and working with a partner.

Jonathan Denis said Monday the review will begin immediately and he doesn’t want to make any policy changes until it’s complete.

Drunk driving arrests little changed by new law

BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF Local police have encountered more designated drivers recently but there is no clear indication that Alberta’s new impaired driving law is deterring drunk drivers.

Red Deer City RCMP Sgt. Bob Bell of the city’s traffic enforcement division said the number of drunk drivers arrested seems to be on par with last year’s numbers despite the implementation of the new impaired driving law, with stiffer penalties, on July 1.

Under the new legislation, a first charge of impaired driving will net the driver a sustained licence suspension until the criminal charge is resolved and a three-day vehicle seizure. For second and third charges, offenders will have their licences suspended and their vehicle seized for seven days.

Last month, local police charged 19 people with alcohol-related impaired driving, seized their vehicles and suspended their drivers licences.

As of Aug. 9, police had conducted 259 breathalyzer tests and have issued 118 24-hour licence suspensions for alcohol-related impaired driving.

In 2011, local police conducted 475 breathalyzer tests and issued 235 24-hour suspensions.

As well, they suspended 29 licences for drug-related impaired driving so far this year, compared to 44 in 2011.

Police say the victim was 33-years-old, but did not

ARRESTS: On par with ’11 “We are probably on par with last year,” said Bell.

“It’s getting a little bit better. ... It’s nice to see a lot more designated drivers and cabs driving around with a lot more passengers.”

He said the message is slowly getting out there to use designated drivers or take a cab instead of getting behind the wheel.

On Friday night alone, local police picked up five impaired drivers and towed seven vehicles.

One driver had a graduated licence. Under the new law, his licence was suspended for 30 days and his vehicle was seized for seven days. Bell said the driver had three passengers with him so that will help spread the word through social media sites like Facebook.

Aleta Neville, president of the Red Deer chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Driving, welcomes the harsher penalties.

“Anything you can do to save a life is worth it,” said Neville, who lost her son in a drunk driving accident in 2006.

Neville said MADD Canada has long recommended all provinces and territories introduced comprehensive, administrative licence suspension for blood alcohol of .05 or higher. She said such programs need to include a seven-to-14-day suspension for a first offence, longer suspensions for repeat offenders and mandatory licence reinstatement of $150 to $300, and the recording of suspension on the driver’s record.

“We’re all about saving lives,” said Neville. “They need to make these changes because people are not getting the message.”

On Sept. 1, the final phase of the new legislation will be implemented.

Drivers with blood alcohol levels of .05 to .08 will face an immediate three-day licence suspension and

LOTTERIES

EDMONTON — About 800 Edmonton taxi drivers are set to launch job action in a dispute over what cabbies call an unfair insurance surcharge.

The drivers, who work for Yellow, Barrel, Prestige and Checker cabs, served strike notice last Friday for 9:00 a.m. local time Monday if the situation were not resolved.

Teamsters Local 987, which represents drivers for several companies, says there were no negotiations over the weekend with the Edmonton Taxi Service Group, which runs the four businesses.

The union says the main issue is a $6,200 fine drivers must pay if they are involved in a collision in which they are at fault. three-day vehicle seizure for a first offence.

A driver facing a second offence will lose their licence for 15 days and their vehicle for seven days.

A third offence nets the driver a 30-day licence suspension and seizure of their vehicle for seven days. crhyno@reddeeradvocate.com

REACTION: A lot depends on municipalities Woof said he would prefer to carry a gun, “but not to the point I’m putting my foot down and saying if you don’t arm us I can’t do my job — because that’s untrue.”

He sees guns in the light that any piece of equipment or additional training and resources to help officers do their jobs is welcome.

Peace officers will be meeting in the fall and the issue will be one of the big items of discussion, he predicted.

However, how far the issue is taken will depend a lot on whether municipalities want to pursue arming their officers, he said.

Retired Mountie Rod Lazenby, who was responsible for enforcing bylaws in the Municipal District of Foothills, was allegedly murdered last Friday when he responded to a dog complaint at a ranch in Priddis, southwest of Calgary.

Trevor Kloschinsky, who lived at the property, appeared in court on Monday charged with first-degree murder.

The Alberta Solicitor General said the death of the officer leads to an automatic review.

“There will be a review of policies and procedures in light of the incident,” said department spokesman Josh Stewart. The question of arming officers will be part of that review.

ronmental and protective services, said he expects there will be calls in some quarters to arm peace officers.

“I think in Lacombe here we’re waiting to see what the reaction of the solicitor general is before we officially respond,” said Boras.

Some municipalities have lobbied for arming officers in the past but Lacombe County, which has four officers, has not been among them. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

REVIEW: Case adjourned The case was adjourned for a day and moved from Calgary to Okotoks, just south of the city.

Kloschinsky’s home is in Priddis, part of the rolling ranching country along what is known as the Cowboy Trail. Neighbours said the property had been at the heart of community tensions in the past.

Problems with dogs on the site had been ongoing for a couple of years.

RCMP said there were 20 to 30 blue heelers at the home. The SPCA and Alberta Humane Society are caring for the dogs and trying to find them new homes.

Lazenby was an RCMP officer for 35 years. He had retired in 2006 and had started enforcing bylaws.

Peace officers with the Foothills district do not carry guns, but are armed with pepper spray and a baton.

Police say Kloschinsky was known to them, but did not have a criminal record.

Little has been officially released about what happened at the ranch, but RCMP say no shots were fired.

Lazenby was driven to a Calgary police station in medical distress and died later in hospital.

An autopsy was planned for Monday to determine what caused his death.

Denis said he was shocked by the killing, which is believed to be the first death of a peace officer in the province.

WEATHER LOCAL TODAY

MONTREAL — The number of students on strike in Quebec dwindled considerably Monday as people at several colleges voted to end a civil-disobedience campaign that had earned international attention and been nicknamed the Maple Spring.

Following three more votes Monday to end the strike and one vote in favour of continuing student protests, the tally now stands at six to two among junior colleges, called CEGEPs in Quebec, in favour of returning to class.

The protests are not quite over. Some university faculties will remain on strike after votes in favour of continuing demonstrations. Some CEGEPs and university students have yet to vote.

But the emphatic vote results Monday prompted a few student protesters to lament the demise of the cause. “The romanticism of it all is over,” said one student, still wearing his iconic red square.

A few people wiped tears of disappointment from their eyes. Some strike supporters tried to console each other with long hugs outside College de Maisonneuve.

But there were more smiles than tears. At Maisonneuve, students had voted 1,480 to 854 in favour of returning to class, following a spirited debate.

It’s not clear whether the strike movement has even suffered a defeat. It may simply be laying low before a decisive win.

The party leading the polls in the current provincial election campaign, the PQ, has proposed eliminating the tuition hikes that were at the root of the dispute and replacing them with much smaller increases pegged to the rate of inflation.

There have also been warnings that the strikes could be revived after the Sept. 4 election, depending on who wins. Over the longer term, some in student movement plan to renew a push for free university access or seek other, broader social objectives.

About one-third of Quebec students had their spring session interrupted by the strikes. A controversial law passed by the Charest government, Bill 78, mandates their return to complete the semester over the coming weeks and sets stiff fines for people blocking schools.

Knitting group hopes to make reproductive point LETHBRIDGE — A southern Alberta women’s group is hoping some woolly wombs will make a point with politicians in Ottawa.

Members of Womanspace in Lethbridge are asking that people crochet or knit copies of women’s reproductive organs that will be sent to Parliament as part of a nationwide protest. A knitting night, the second one this month, is planned for Tuesday at a neighbourhood pub.

“People do different colours, but pink has been the dominant colour for the obvious reasons. But it’s also a little bit funny to be sending a pink uterus to a male member of Parliament who wouldn’t feel comfortable holding one,” said Womanspace spokeswoman Jenn Prosser.

The advocacy group is concerned about a private member’s motion by Tory MP Stephen Woodworth that a

committee re-examine when a fetus should be considered a human being.

Women’s groups say that would reignite a national debate on abortion that could eventually make it illegal again.

Prosser said it’s important that politicians know any changes to women’s reproductive rights won’t be tolerated.

“Our group is going to send a few of our creations to our own MP (Tory Jim Hillyer) because he has stated ... he would support any challenge to the current access to reproductive rights that women have in Canada,” she said.

Pilot’s cell phone use may have been partial cause of fatal crash of small plane in B.C.

Instead, the report said the pilot may have lost situational awareness, known as the “black-hole effect.”

“A black-hole approach typically occurs during a visual approach conducted on a moonless or overcast night over water or over dark, featureless terrain where the only visual stimuli are lights on or near the airport.”

Without visual reference, the report said, the pilot’s depth perception may be off, causing the illusion that the airport is closer than it actually is.

The plane’s wing clipped a tree and then slammed into the ground about 20 kilometres from the airport, killing the only person aboard.

EDMONTON — Alberta’s distracted driving legislation has nabbed a two-wheeled texter.

Edmonton police say they’ve charged a motorcyclist with numerous offences after they caught him sending a text message on a cellphone.

Officers signalled the driver to pull over, but he instead sped away and hit an oncoming vehicle. The motorcyclist fled, but was eventually arrested nearby.

Wayne Aucoin, 43, of Edmonton is charged with criminal flight, criminal hit and run, disqualified driving, texting while driving and numerous other provincial traffic offences.

The province’s distracted driving legislation is almost one year old. “Our officers have seen some pretty ridicu-

VANCOUVER — The pilot in the fatal crash of a small plane may have set the stage for his own death by paying too much attention to his cellular phone and not enough to his flight.

A Transportation Safety Board report released Monday said the crash near the airport in Fort St. John, B.C., last November could have been partly caused because the pilot wasn’t concentrating on his flying.

The TSB report said the pilot received three text messages and spent 28 minutes on his cell phone during what would have been a 65-minute flight from Peace River, Alta., to Fort St. John, B.C. The pilot received his last text message 11 minutes before the crash.

“The aircraft had experienced several large altitude deviations while the pilot was using his cellphone,” the report stated.

“This distraction was prevalent throughout the flight and in conjunction with the night conditions encountered, may have contributed to the (crash).”

A graph in the report shows the altitude on the Cessna 185 E, operated by Treck Aerial Surveys, dipped from a low of 3,500 feet to a high of 4,600 feet three times during the flight.

“Cell phone use can distract operators from essential operation tasks.

“There have been no comprehensive studies regarding the use of cell phones as a distraction in an aviation context.

The phenomenon has, however, been extensively studied in the automotive sector.”

Using a cell phone while driving is illegal in every province and territory except Nunavut.

The report found there were also other pressures against the pilot including that he needed to be back to the Fort St. John airport be-

fore nightfall.

The commercial pilot was operating on night visual flight rules, but it was dark as he neared the Fort St. John airport.

The company the pilot was working for, Treck Aerial Survey’s — which provides aircraft and equipment for aerial surveillance and photography — is limited to vision flight rules during the day.

The report said there was no indication of an aircraft system malfunction or that the pilot was unwell.

There were no drastic changes in the aircraft’s flight path and no emergency calls from the pilot to indicate that there was an inflight emergency.

Additional knitworks are to be sent to Parliament at the end of August as part of a national movement on Facebook called Womb Swarm Parliament — Textile Artists United Against Motion M-312.

The knitting nights have helped foster a sense of solidarity, Prosser said.

“By creating that community, you’re ... giving people who may not know that there are others who feel strongly about this issue an opportunity to come together to talk about, to bond and discuss the issue in general.”

About two dozen creations by Wom-

anspace members or supporters exist so far. And, as with any craft, the appearance varies.

“Everyone has their own style of knitting and crocheting to begin with, so they all look pretty different,” Prosser said.

Prosser said there has been no negative reaction on Facebook, in emails or in messages to the office about what the group is doing “I think there’s a great number of people ... who believe very strongly in reproductive rights and the right of a woman to have control over her own body. But I think a lot of people maybe wouldn’t feel comfortable holding a placard outside of someone’s office.

“This is a way that they can participate that’s meaningful, but still on their own terms, without necessarily having to go out and put their face in front of someone else’s face in more of an aggressive manner.”

Woodworth’s motion is to be voted on in the fall session.

Why sport really matters On the scale of great human endeavours, sport often muscles in where it doesn’t belong.

How does sprinting 100 metres in 9.63 seconds measure up against lifechanging medical discoveries, remarkable works of art, extraordinary engineering feats, or heroic acts of compassion and selflessness?

The answer should be pretty obvious: sport is a beacon to a healthier lifestyle, and certainly provides inspiring examples of the strength of individual spirit.

But it is not a lasting monument to human achievement.

Yet when the Olympic Games take centre stage every two years, large portions of the world’s population go into a distracted frenzy.

Suddenly (or, if you’re watching Usain Bolt, very suddenly), little else seems to matter.

We can’t keep our eyes off the television screen, and we wait for results with unreasonable anticipation.

We are heart-broken when an athlete stumbles. We are euphoric when an athlete excels despite long odds.

We lose sleep watching events that

OURVIEW JOHN STEWART occur in a time zone seven hours ahead of ours.

We commit to memory the names and feats of athletes we hadn’t heard of two weeks ago, so we can take part in rousing office conversations about the Olympics.

We are patriotic to a fault, assuming that every stroke of athletic genius reflects glory on us all, and (devastatingly) that every failure casts us all in a dark shadow.

We celebrate the fact that, increasingly, the Olympic movement has knocked down the barriers to sexual and cultural inequality.

And we are unabashedly unapologetic about our obsession with all things sporting, from water polo to rhythmic gymnastics, from show jumping to high jump, from badminton to soccer. Things that, for the next four years, we won’t likely cast a backwards glance upon.

For two-plus weeks, the Summer Olympic Games in London became the

gauge by which many nations, not the least of which was Canada, measured national well-being.

It happened at the Vancouver Winter Olympics in early 2010, and it will happen again and again in the future, as Winter and Summer Olympics leapfrog over each other every two years, and we take up the torch anew.

In short, the Olympics are an exercise in blowing things out of proportion. And you can mark it on the calendar.

Except . . . as individuals, we don’t go about our lives thinking that we will cure cancer, or end poverty, or create a piece of art so brilliant that it diminishes Ludwig van Beethoven’s greatest works.

We go about our lives looking for inspiration and distraction, purpose and contentment.

We want to be reminded, as often as possible, what the committed human can do and what the collective spirit can imagine.

We want to find lessons we can apply to the most mundane of lives, to give us direction, structure and reason.

At the very least, we need a little jolt

once in a while that takes us to the completion of a task.

We want Christine Sinclair and her Canadian soccer teammates to be angry, and doubly committed in the aftermath of their semifinal loss to the United States.

We want them to rise up and snatch bronze away from France, against all odds and in spite of their sense of devastation. Because that’s how we want to see ourselves. That’s how we want to see our nation. That’s what we see as the best in the human condition: the ability to shrug off disappointment, the willingness to see injustice for what it is, and push past it.

We know that life carries more than its share of failures, and more than its share of crushing disappointments.

And we know that the best the average person can hope for is the fortitude of character to keep on pushing forward, to make life meaningful, at least in the small circle that defines most of us.

And sport, at its best, can help to affirm that for each of us.

John Stewart is the Advocate’s managing editor.

It is a recognition that comes not from an economist, most of whom are unable to understand let alone offer any explanation of the world economic crises, but (to his credit) from a management consultant.

The idea that Canada manages its own affairs well while “the rest of the world makes a hash of theirs” is only relatively true; the fact that we are better off than most does not mean that our economy is not in crises.

The Harper government is presiding over serious and painful cuts in state spending; under the present economic system, there are no other options.

The correctly identified problem of the enormous amount of debt that has built up is a symptom of the wider crises of a system that has gone beyond its limits.

The lack of markets in which to sell commodities at a profit has meant resorting to a huge expansion of credit, after the financial crash of 2007-2008 this credit was transferred by the bank bailout from private company debt to state debt.

The system has overreached its limits like the cartoon figure running over a cliff and hovering in mid air but gravity will win. Debts have to be repaid and as correctly stated at huge rates of interest.

The Harper government’s economic action plan that has been operating for the past three years simply underlines the crises of the present system and has in no way alleviated it.

Is it possible, as suggested, that ordinary working people sitting around the barbecue can come up with ideas for politicians to repair the present system?

The involvement of ordinary working people in the running of society is in fact crucial but their collective voice can only be heard when they belong to and take part in the running of a political party.

The crisis of the present system is creating a division of our society into two camps, the rich and those with diminishing incomes and living standards.

Two political parties will become dominant in Alberta in the not too distant future and the rest will be squeezed out by the polarization of society; the two dominant parties will be the Wildrose Party and the NDP. Those at the top need the Wildrose Party and they are continuing to provide it with the finances that are required for it to grow.

The majority of ordinary people need and will build a party that not only stands in their defence but also provides an alternative way of running society, the alternative of a democratic, socialist, planned economy that will provide plenty for all.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Landowners are powerless in face of power line plans As a landowner in Central Alberta and an intervener in the Western Alberta Transmission Line Hearing, I’m appalled by the lack of power of everyday Albertans who own land. Perhaps even more alarming is the abuse of power by our government, and the absolute arrogance of the Alberta government to bestow that power upon corporations, specifically in this case, AltaLink.

When the Alberta government introduced Bill 50 in 2009, which many speculate was composed in the backroom of Alberta’s provincial cabinet, alongside the utility companies and AESO, it extinguished the rights of the public, industry, and the Alberta Utilities Commission to determine necessity. This, in effect, stripped everyday Albertans of their right to fair and due process when it comes to utility companies developing on private lands.

Industry, landowners, municipalities and consumer groups have opposed Bill 50 and claimed the projects associated with it to be a gross overbuild and contrary to the best interests of Albertans.

Perhaps the most frustrating aspect of this ordeal for my family, and many landowners like myself, is that we have not been privy to any data or research indicating the need for these lines, yet we as Albertans are required to pay 100 per cent of the cost of the lines, while the transmission companies like AltaLink own them and reap a guaranteed nine per cent annual return on our investment. Not only does AltaLink stand to make billions of dollars from the investment of Alberta taxpayers, the landowners who make the greatest sacrifice by having monstrous transmission lines on their property pay even further by having their health, safety, property values, farming operations and overall quality of life negatively impacted.

The blatant disregard and disrespect to landowners and Albertans as a whole is truly unacceptable. Considering that even the mayor of Calgary, Naheed Nenshi, who arguably represents the city consuming the most power in the province of Alberta, states that the WATL is a “terrible idea” and that much of the transmission won’t be required because of the city-owned utility’s own project, it begs the question of “Why?” Cables sent from the U.S. embassy in Ottawa in 2003 and 2008 indicate why, as Alberta politicians offered to export power to the United States using excess electricity generated by oilsands facilities. Which brings to mind a sickening image of the AltaLink executives and those of its parent company, SNC Lavalin, conspiring alongside the old boys of the Progressive Conservative Party clicking their heels and cheering, “California here we come!”

It is also extremely disconcerting to me, as it should be to all Albertans, most notably the government of Alberta, who is obliged to conduct itself in the best interests of all Albertans, that we have handed over a contract to AltaLink with no competitive bidding process.

The fact that my family, and many others like ours, are in this unfortu-

nate predicament is infuriating, but what compounds that anger is the fact that the process by which landowners intervene is unfair and truly only serves those who have the time, money and skill set to do so.

John Kristensen, technical VP of RETA (Responsible Electricity Transmission for Albertans), says it best when he suggests that this whole process is really just “theatre.” I would go a step further and make the statement that this process is more like puppetry, with the PC government, AltaLink and AESO collaborating in the role of puppet master, holding the strings, and the AUC playing the role of puppet. This theatrical production is intended to appease interveners, who in essence are mere spectators.

I am overcome with sadness and anger over what little influence we have over land that has been in our family for decades. With the impending 500KV transmission line looming a mere 175 metres from our new home, and zigzagging across our agricultural lands, compounded by the fact that I refuse to allow my children to use the towers as playground equipment, it will certainly force us from our home and our heritage.

As I watch my little ones playing in the field, I realize that this may be one of the last opportunities to savour this cherished image of my children celebrating the land of their forefathers and I am rendered utterly powerless.

Over the August long weekend, my family was in the Red Deer area for a baseball tournament. My 19-month-old son had some breathing problems, and wound up admitted to the pediatrics ward at Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre.

We can’t say enough about the quality of care our son received. From doctors and nurses to housekeeping workers, the team members went above and beyond to make the best of a bad situation.

Thanks to everyone at the Red Deer hospital for their patience, compassion and competence.

Veterans worry legal fees will gobble up clawback settlement OTTAWA — There’s growing concern among veterans a big chunk of a planned multi-million settlement over the clawback of military pensions could be gobbled up by legal fees.

One member of a class-action lawsuit has written to Defence Minister Peter MacKay, asking that the federal government pay the cost of lawyers over and above any out-of-court compensation that arises from upcoming negotiations.

“I hope that you make a separate reasonable payment to lawyers in accordance with the reasonable fees set by precedent in the courts,” wrote Louise Gagnon, a retired major.

“This payment should not come from the monies contractually and honourably owed us.”

The federal government announced in June it would not appeal a Federal Court of Canada ruling that rejected clawbacks from the pensions of disabled veterans. Defence Minister Peter MacKay ordered a stop to the practice on July 1.

A class-action lawsuit was filed in March 2007 on behalf of Dennis Manuge and 4,500 other disabled veterans whose long-term disability benefits were reduced by the amount of the monthly Veterans Affairs disability pension they receive.

He argued it was unfair and unjust to treat pain and suffering awards as income.

The federal government recently appointed Stephen Toope, the president of the University of British Columbia, to lead the discussions with Manuge’s legal team to arrive at a settlement, including retroactive payments.

Internal government estimates have suggested that the settlement could run as high as $600 million, depending upon how many years back the federal

compensation plan will go.

Gagnon told MacKay that settlement scheme was proposed by the government and “it would seem reasonable that you repair this tort out of your own funds.”

Information from Veterans Affairs Canada suggests legal fees could be included in whatever final agreement is made.

“By agreement with the representative plaintiffs, counsel fees may be calculated at 30 per cent of any amounts recovered,”said the department’s website.

“If a settlement, judgment, voluntary payment or execution or other benefit is obtained, the lawyers will apply to court for approval of a fee that is consistent with the terms of this agreement, or some lesser amount. The court will decide what amount is fair.”

In the case of a $600-million settlement, Gagnon said lawyers could net up to $180 million, if the 30 per cent formula is upheld.

“This has caused growing alarm with myself and many disabled veterans who could hypothetically be required to pay 30 per cent or more of our (long-term disability) monies for legal costs,” she wrote.

“Having the class members foot any bill for legal fees would be tantamount to subjecting them to a second clawback.”

A spokeswoman for MacKay was not immediately available for comment.

Even though the clawbacks ended in July, there are still some veterans who still face the deduction.

Ex-soldiers whose additional rewards and payments exceed the limit of 75 per cent of their military salary — often those who were most severely injured — say they’re still not being treated fairly.

Those veterans with the most grievous injuries are entitled to receive the maximum benefit, particularly since many can’t work, advocates have said.

Canadian Bar Association demands federal review of legal aid funding VANCOUVER — Federal Justice Minister Rob Nicholson dodged a call Monday from the Canadian Bar Association demanding a review of federal legalaid funding to ensure money for defence is keeping up with the pace of federal justice reforms.

Members of the association’s national council maintain federal tough-on-crime legislation will mean more trials and more jail time for more accused in an already strained justice system. The council passed a resolution over the weekend urging Ottawa for the review.

But Nicholson said his government has increased funding for legal aid.

“I know that over the years that I’ve been justice minister we’ve boosted the annual amount from $81 (million) to $111 million per year. There’s a total commitment of $560 million to the legal-aid system,” Nicholson told hundreds of lawyers attending the association’s annual conference in Vancouver.

“We’ve maintained our funding levels even in this time of restraint.”

And he defended his government’s justice reforms, saying the changes they’ve made help the victims of crime while targeting perpetrators.

“Ours has been a balanced approach with respect to these measures,” Nicholson said in response to questions from association members.

Dan MacRury, chairman of the national council’s criminal justice section, said the Conservative reforms are increasing demand on a system that was already taxed.

“It’s clear that the new laws are going to put an increased demand on all the players in the criminal justice system,” MacRury said in an interview.

“There really does need to be a national review of the federal commitment to funding to ensure that it’s adequate to maintain fair trial rights for the accused.”

The funding that has gone into justice has gone to Crown prosecutions to equip police forces and to

THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — American authorities are expected to hand videotapes of Omar Khadr to the Canadian government this week now that the head of the military commission has signed off on their release.

Khadr’s Canadian defence team, meanwhile, served three affidavits on the government on Monday in support of its Federal Court application to force Public Safety Minister Vic Toews to make a decision on the prisoner’s transfer.

Toews has demanded access to the tapes of two mental-health assessments done of Khadr prior to his trial two years ago in Guantanamo Bay. One assessment was

by Dr. Michael Welner, the prosecution’s star witness at Khadr’s military commission trial in October 2010. Welner concluded Khadr, 25, was an unrepentant and dangerous jihadist.

The other was by a U.S. military psychologist, Maj. Alan Hopewell, who considered Khadr to be defensive and manipulative, but also mentally stable, upbeat, and an independent thinker who sees himself as a Canadian.

TMX shares take hit PROBABLY LINKED TO ARBITRAGERS DIVESTING POSITIONS IN RECENTLY-ACQUIRED OWNER OF THE TORONTO STOCK EXCHANGE

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Stock in TMX Group Inc. (TSX:X) was down sharply Monday in a move one well-known investor said was probably linked to arbitragers divesting their positions in the recently-acquired owner of the Toronto Stock Exchange.

“My sense is the arbitragers are unwinding — that would be my guess,” said Tom Caldwell, chairman and CEO of Caldwell Financial, after shares in the operator of Canada’s major stock exchanges fell more than 10 per cent in early trading.

The issue later recovered a little by the end of the session to close down 5.5 per

cent or $2.75 at $47.

The big drop, on relatively low volume, came on the first trading day since Friday’s announcement that the long-extended, $50 per share offer by Maple Group Acquisition Corp.— a consortium of 12 Canadian financial institutions formed for the bid.

By the Friday deadline, some 95.4 per cent of outstanding TMX Group shares had been tendered to the offer, worth a total of about $3.8 billion.

Under deals made with provincial and federal securities regulators, Maple pledged that it would not own more than 80 per cent of TMX shares — leaving 20 per cent in public hands.

To maintain the promise, Maple, now the

owner of the recently renamed TMX Group Ltd., will return the 15.4 per cent of shares tendered but not acquired to TMX Group shareholders.

All shares that weren’t picked up by Maple, now TMX Group Ltd., will be exchanged for shares of the successor company on a one-for-one basis.

The offer by Maple, a consortium of Canadian banks, pension funds and investment firms, cleared its last major regulatory hurdles when the federal Competition Bureau and securities regulators in B.C. and Alberta signed off on the takeover last month.

Canadians don’t set aside emergency funds A new poll for one of Canada’s big banks says 45 per cent of those surveyed said they had no fund set up to deal with emergency expenses. The poll of about 2,000 Canadians was conducted in March and April for CIBC by Harris/Decima.

Ontario and Alberta residents were the least likely to say they had an emergency fund set up — 53 per cent of respondents in each province. At 60 per cent, British Columbia residents were the most likely to say they have funds set aside for critical, unexpected expenses.

Quebec and the Prairie provinces of Manitoba and Saskatchewan were also above the national average, tied at 57 per cent.

Now’s the time for trade deal with EU: Harper Economic concerns at home and abroad will dominate the agenda later this week when German Chancellor Angela Merkel arrives in Canada to meet with Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Merkel is under mounting pressure from coalition partners to take a hard line with crisis-wracked Greece to ensure it imposes the stiff economic reforms being demanded by its European Union creditors. Harper says he’s looking forward to getting an update on the discussions in Europe and also to talk about Canada’s efforts to secure a trade agreement with the EU. With the latest round of trade talks just concluded, he says the negotiations are proceeding in “a positive way.” Harper also says the provinces have also been working with the federal government to ensure their interests are wellserved by any trade deals with Europe. He says given the ongoing economic turmoil around the world, it’s in the interests of both Canada and the EU to reach an agreement as soon as possible.

A $2.2-million building permit for Red Deer Co-op’s new gas bar in Deer Park was among the larger approvals issued by the city’s Inspections and Licensing Department last month.

Permits drop sharply

BY ADVOCATE STAFF The value of construction work approved by the City of Red Deer last month was down sharply from July 2011.

The city reported on Monday that it issued 135 permits worth $14.6 million last month, as compared with 151 permits for $25.4 million last July.

Most of the decrease could be attributed to the commercial category, which dropped to $6.5 million from $17.1 million.

Last July’s total was inflated by a $10.6-million permit for the Elements@Rivers Edge housing and commer-

cial complex downtown and a $4.7 million permit for the Skyway Professional Centre medical office building at 5156 43rd St. Residential permits added $7.1 million to the total for this July, as compared with $8 million a year ago; industrial approvals climbed to $894,000 from $314,000; and work in the public category contributed $163,000, up from $40,000.

Among the bigger permits issued last month was a $2.7-million approval for renovations to the Coronation Park Village seniors residence, and a $2.2-million permit for redevelopment of the Red Deer Co-op gas bar in Deer Park.

In June, the total value of permits issued was $21.9 million, with commercial work accounting for $9.2 million, residential projects $8.5 million, public work $2.7 million, and industrial construction $1.5 million.

Despite the year-over-year decrease in July, the cumulative value of permits issued so far in 2012 is well ahead of last year’s pace — to $142.4 million from $88.3 million.

Residential projects have jumped to $77.8 million from $44.8 million, commercial to $46.6 million from $33.4 million, industrial to $10.1 million from $4.8 million, and public to $7.9 million from $236,000.

Ontario government, RIM, schools team up to help laid-off workers

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS WATERLOO, Ont. — The Ontario government is teaming up with Research In Motion Ltd. (TSX:RIM) to help laid off workers in the city where the company, which is working through a restructuring that includes slashing jobs, is based.

Communitech, which lobbies on behalf of tech companies in the region, as well as the University of Waterloo and Wilfrid Laurier University, will also be involved in the plan to help laid off workers.

The troubled BlackBerry maker announced in June that it will be cutting 5,000 jobs worldwide and would not release its next generation of smartphone until next year.

More than half of the company’s 16,500 employees — about 9,000 — work in the Waterloo region.

The universities are adding spaces in entrepreneurship and business programs, to help workers develop skills to start their

own businesses.

Communitech and Employment Ontario will help workers find new jobs in the sector in the region, sometimes referred to as “Silicon Valley North.”

The province will also create a centre where laid-off workers can look for new jobs, get employment counselling or go back to school.

The announcement comes ahead of a Sept. 6 provincial byelection in the riding of Kitchener-Waterloo.

The seat became vacant after Progressive Conservative Elizabeth Witmer resigned to become chairwoman of the Workplace Health and Insurance Board. A win could help the minority Liberals gain a majority in the provincial legislature.

Rick Costanzo, RIM’s executive vice-president of global sales, said the company approached the provincial government and local community about the transition process after it had details of the cost-cutting plan.

The Village of Alix is hoping to help some fledgling businesses take flight.

The community northeast of Red Deer is planning to develop a business incubator, where startup ventures will be able to establish themselves in a low-cost setting.

Alix Mayor Curt Peterson said the facility will have the same objective as an existing business incubator in Delburne, where a number of small operations have matured into thriving businesses.

“Making it possible, like Delburne did, for people to come in and actually get a lower-rent place to start a business,” he said of the facility’s mandate. “Making sure the business is going to be viable before they put up big investments for land and building.”

Peterson, who owns Alix Home Hardware, thinks the village has a healthy business sector. But it doesn’t hurt to be proactive in trying to grow and diversify the local economy, he said.

“There are things that we don’t have that we could use.”

He thinks Alix’s new business incubator will be well-suited for retail operations, but could prove suitable as space for offices, medical-related businesses and other uses. Regardless, Peterson is optimistic tenants will come forward.

“We’ve had businesses talk to us in the past, looking for places, and we told them that this one was coming.

“It’s right in the business section of town.”

The building is being developed as a public-private partnership (P3), with a developer from Wetaskiwin to build it and then collect rent from the village.

“We invest nothing, other than just the monthly rents,” said Peterson, adding that the village will eventually have the option to buy the building for a nominal amount.

Once it’s completed, the building on Railway Avenue will serve as far more than a business incubator.

Peterson listed the local Family and Community Support Services office, the village’s recreation department and its emergency organization centre, and the food bank, as other anticipated occupants.

It will also house a youth activity centre, equipped with an impressive children’s play structure that the village acquired after Moonwalker Fun Centre in Red Deer closed in 2009.

Peterson said the village wants to increase the recreational options for local children.

Having multiple uses in the building will make it more cost-efficient, said Peterson.

He added that the objective is for it to operate on a revenue-neutral basis. hrichards@reddeeradvocate.com

Handling conflict presents challenges

JOHN MACKENZIE

ACTION COACH

Handling conflict in a professional and productive manner is always challenging.

It’s easy to feel defensive, even angry, when faced with raised voices and red faces, and emotions are carried away. In the heat of the moment, resolving issues in a mutually satisfactory way is impossible.

Working with a high volume of customers can be very stressful, especially in a busy retail setting.

Even the most polite customers can

test your patience and be demanding when capacity is limited (time, energy, ability, etc.)

There are very specific approaches you should take in order to avoid an escalating and timeconsuming situation. The following strategies can help turn the most difficult situations into a win-win customer collaboration. ● When confronted by an upset customer, deal with the feelings first, then tackle the problem.

Remain calm. Always speak in a friendly and sincere manner.

If you maintain a reasonable attitude and quiet tone, an agitated person will often adjust to your level. A monotone response implies that you are not interested and may even be interpreted as rude. ● When possible, use the customer’s name and introduce yourself if that fits the situation.

PAINTING THE ELEMENTS

STORIES FROM B1

CONFLICT: Empathize

Arbitragers who bought TMX stock in order to tender it to the offer would have, in many cases, acquired their positions several weeks ago at around $45 a share before the regulatory votes.

Caldwell noted that with about 91 per cent of tendered shares being taken up in the offer, arbitragers would make a $5 profit on that percentage of their holdings.

“Then (the rest of ) that stuff you would just blow off at $45 or whatever the market is and move on to your next trade because it’s over,” he said.

“So I think its the (arbitragers) unwinding their positions and moving on to the next trade because the people who own TMX now will be investors as opposed to arbitragers, they will be investors looking at it on a go-forward basis on yield, earnings growth, that king of thing.”

Caldwell said his firm tendered all its holdings but did buy back “a little bit of stock today” when the issued dipped 10 per cent, figuring the drop was a little overdone, at least in the near term.

“Listen, I sold the stock at $50 yesterday and if I can buy it at $45 today that probably makes some sense,” he said.

“I’m just replacing a tiny bit, not the full position ... just on the chance that I might get a flip here, that we might bounce a bit and that fundamentally it’s probably not bad value here.”

The new TMX Group now owns the Toronto Stock Exchange in addition to the alternative Alpha exchange and the country’s largest clearing house CDS, controlling some 90 per cent of trading in Canada.

Monday’s low volume trading comes as the deal leaves significantly less stock in public hands.

“Fundamentally going forward, you’re going to have a very small float of stock somewhere under 10 million shares that will actually be traded on the exchange,” Caldwell said.

“So it won’t be an active institution-type trader.

It’ll still trade and it will be a interesting company.

But that’s the negative (although) it might be a good retail vehicle.”

The company still has “a decent yield” of around 3.5 per cent and “a very good position in the Canadian market,” Caldwell said.

“If you like Canada, this business should do reasonably well in that it has about 90 per cent of trading, controls the derivatives and now clearing and settlement as well, which is a very good business.”

RIM: Making cuts “We announced a plan to realize close to a billion dollars in terms of cost savings between now and the end of the fiscal year, and unfortunately, job eliminations are part and parcel of that.”

He would not say how many employees have been laid off in the Waterloo-area, where the firm’s global headquarters is located.

The Liberals have nominated lawyer Eric Davis to run in the provincial byelection.

The riding of Vaughan, north of Toronto, will also hold a byelection on the same day. That seat became vacant after veteran Liberal Greg Sorbara resigned last week.

The Liberals missed winning a third consecutive majority by one seat in last October’s election, but could regain that majority by winning the two byelections.

RIM has been making cuts across its operations to help counter faltering sales of its smartphones, particularly in North America.

RIM has been working to turn around its operations after watching its market share erode as consumers switched to Apple’s iPhone and other smartphones running Google’s Android operating system.

The company’s future success rides on the unveiling of its BlackBerry 10 operating system, which has suffered two major delays that have pushed its debut into early 2013.

Also on Monday, the company refused to comment on a published report that it was looking at selling its cloud-services assets, the latest in a series of rumoured deals the company is said to be perusing.

High Arctic boosts Q2 earnings MOSTLY FROM OPERATIONS IN PAPUA NEW GUINEA

BY ADVOCATE STAFF High Arctic Energy Services Inc. (TSX: HWO) posted improved earnings in the second quarter and first half of 2012, due mainly to its operations in Papua New Guinea.

The specialized oilfield equipment and service provider, which is based in Red Deer, said Monday that its net earnings for the three months ended June 30 were $5.7 million.

That compared with a net loss of $100,000 for the same quarter in 2011.

For the six months ended June 30, High Arctic’s net earnings were $16.4 million, up 128 per cent from $7.2 million for the first half of 2011.

These earnings equated to 12 cents a share in the second quarter of 2012, up from zero for the same period last year; and 35 cents per diluted share for the year to date, up from 15 cents.

The 2012 earnings figures in-

cluded a $5 million positive tax adjustment, which was booked in the second quarter.

High Arctic’s consolidated revenue for the second quarter was $29.6 million, up 19 per cent from $24.9 million a year earlier.

For the first half of 2012, the company’s consolidated revenue was $71.8 million, an 18 per cent improvement over the $60.8 million generated during the same period in 2011.

High Arctic said $25.1 million of its second-quarter revenue and $48.6 million of its January-toJune revenue was generated in Papua New Guinea.

The addition of a new rig in the region and growth in the company’s matting and equipment rental business there helped boost the numbers, it said.

“We are seeing more opportunities in PNG, where the company has already committed $11.3 million in 2012 for growth capital,” said Bruce Thiessen, High Arctic’s chief executive officer.

“That matches the total bud-

Union wants automakers to invest in facilities THE CANADIAN PRESS The Canadian Auto Workers union, which made concessions when the big U.S. automakers were struggling, says it wants to share in profits.

As it geared up for contract talks slated to begin this week, the union said Monday that the automakers need to invest in their Canadian facilities as a means of boosting job security.

CAW economist Jim Stanford said it’s only natural that the workers should reap some benefits now that the auto sector has improved.

“The industry has certainly turned the corner since 2009,” Stanford said.

“The fact that the industry is doing so well and the companies’ profit margins are so strong should make for an easier round of bargaining, but there will be some real tough challenges. In any round of bargaining, the companies always threaten the workers that they’ll lose their jobs if they don’t

cut their wages.”

Union president Ken Lewenza says investing in technology at the automakers’ factories would increase productivity, improve profits and make workers’ jobs more secure.

“We want the very best state-of-the-art paint jobs,” Lewenza said.

Last month, GM has said it would invest $850 million in research and development in Oshawa, Ont., however the company is also going ahead with a plan to close its consolidated plant, a move that will eliminate 2,000 jobs.

GM also has a flex assembly plant in Oshawa that is getting a share of the production of the new Chevy Impala, which is also being built at GM’s Detroit-Hamtramck assembly plant in Michigan.

The consolidated plant, which produces the Chevrolet Impala and the Equinox, was originally scheduled to close 2008, but due to demand for the two vehicles, it has remained in business.

High Arctic’s Canadian operations contributed $4.5 million in revenue for the second quarter, and $23.2 million for the first half of 2012.

The company said its domestic numbers were helped by strong activity levels in the first quarter and the deployment of a new rig in June. However, production was slowed by adverse weather in the second quarter.

High Arctic announced in May that it was implementing a monthly dividend.

● Validate the customer’s frustration as much as you can.

Empathize with the situation to let the customer know that you appreciate their perspective.

Consider using phrases like, “I can understand your frustration,” or, “I can appreciate your point of view.” ● You can’t fix what you don’t understand. Ask the person to clarify the problem and then repeat the information back to them.

Your ultimate goal is to ask sufficient questions to make certain that the customer knows that their issue or problem has been clearly understood. ● Once you have defined the issue, ask them what they think would resolve the problem. It may not be possible to meet their expectations, but you then have a basis on which to negotiate. ● Do not resort to a “policy” statement at this stage. You should state, however, that you endeavour to deal with all customers honestly and fairly. ● Never make promises you can’t keep, or make commitments for other people’s time, unless you are confident you have the authority to do so. Not delivering on a promise intended to resolve a complaint only compounds the problem.

To avoid confusion, have a clear understanding of what you have agreed upon with the customer. ● Active listening will always help to resolve conflict. Once you know what the issues are you can look for areas of agreement. Thank them for bringing the issue to your attention and then gain commitment to work towards a solution.

If handled properly, resolving a customer complaint can be an opportunity and create a client forever.

A past client of mine from the construction industry received a phone call from a very upset customer saying that the installation of their product was shabby, the product didn’t work, and the crew left without saying a word. After allowing the customer to vent, the proposed solution was to send another crew the next day to evaluate and fix the problem.

As promised, the next morning another crew arrived, reinstalled the product and then took the time with the homeowner to explain how everything worked. The homeowner was so impressed with the response and quality of the work he immediately ordered another similar product.

In addition, he phoned the service manager he lodged the complaint with to express his satisfaction.

He even referred the company to a relative.

Your willingness to listen and understand goes a long way to diffuse the situation.

Basic customer service skills are always important. Learning how to handle conflict in difficult situations in a calm and satisfactory manner will keep customers for life.

MARKETS CLOSE TORONTO — The Toronto stock market closed lower Monday as traders cashed in on some of last week’s strong gains while another dose of subpar economic data from Asia depressed commodity prices.

The S&P/TSX composite index fell 52.56 points to 11,838.83, following a two per cent rise last week on hopes that central banks will move to keep a flagging global economic recovery going. The TSX Venture Exchange was ahead 6.37 points to 1,197.37.

The Canadian dollar was down 0.15 of a cent at 100.76 cents US. U.S. markets were mainly lower as the Dow Jones industrials slipped 38.52 points to 13,169.43.

The Nasdaq composite index rose 1.66 points to 3,022.52 and the S&P 500 index slipped 1.76 points to 1,404.11.

TSX losses were led by sliding base metal stocks after data showing a steep falloff in Japanese economic growth during the second quarter.

Japan’s economy grew by only 0.3 per cent in the second quarter from the previous three-month period, half the rate that was expected. It was also sharply lower from the first quarter’s upwardly revised rate of 1.3 per cent.

The stall reflected the fallout from Europe’s debt crisis and a sharp rise in the value of the yen that made it more difficult for the country’s export sector to compete.

The data followed news on Friday that export growth in China during July plunged to just one per cent from the previous month’s 11.3 per cent, which was well below forecasts of about five per cent.

But the dismal report helped fuel speculation that China’s central bank was preparing to act with some type of measure to spur business activity.

Investors are also hoping to see further stimulus action from the U.S. Federal Reserve and also counting on the European Central Bank to do whatever is necessary to keep the continent’s monetary union intact.

“We have a market running on central bank rhetoric,” said Craig Fehr, Canadian markets specialist at Edward Jones in St. Louis.

“It shows you how much pessimism is priced into this market and if you just provide a little bit of a vacuum of bad news, the natural direction for the market at this point is probably up in the interim.”

On Tuesday, traders will be looking for the latest estimates of secondquarter growth in the 17-nation eurozone, July retail sales in the U.S. and Canadian manufacturing shipments for June.

The TSX base metals sector was off 1.36 per cent as the Japanese data pushed September copper on the Nymex down another four cents to US$3.35 a pound. Copper slipped three cents Friday in the wake of the

disappointing Chinese data. China is the biggest consumer of the metal.

Teck Resources (TSX:TCK.B) lost 75 cents to $29.58 while Taseko Mines (TSX:TKO) was down eight cents to $2.60.

The gold sector was down about 1.2 per cent as December gold also lost early momentum to move down $10.20 to US$1,612.60 an ounce.

Goldcorp Inc. (TSX:G) faded 42 cents to $36.73 while Iamgold (TSX:IMG) slipped 20 cents to $11.18.

The energy sector dropped 0.69 per cent as oil prices fell for a second day. Benchmark crude for September delivery lost early gains, inching 14 cents lower at $92.73 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

Crude prices also retreated Friday after the International Energy Agency lowered its forecast for global crude demand for the year to 89.6 million barrels a day from 89.9 million due to a “combination of persistently high prices and a weak economic backdrop.”

Canadian Natural Resources (TSX:CNQ) gave back 80 cents to $30.15 while Imperial Oil (TSX:IMO) gained 57 cents to $45.28.

A major decliner was TMX Group (TSX:X) as shares in the stock market operator fell $2.75 or 5.53 per cent to $47. On Friday, Maple Group Acquisition Corp. completed its longextended offer to acquire the operator of the Toronto Stock Exchange on Friday. Maple has been renamed TMX Group Ltd., which will own 80 per cent of TMG Group Inc., which lists its shares publicly.

“There there was a large holder, probably several large holders, that built a position, either got what they wanted out of it or didn’t and are getting out,” added Fehr.

“That would be my view based on the fact that there is nothing out there to me suggesting that there is more of a fundamental issue.”

Elsewhere on the corporate front, shares in Leon’s Furniture Ltd. (TSX:LNF) fell seven cents to $11.55 as the firm reported a nearly 20 per cent drop in its second-quarter earnings compared with a year ago as it marketing costs rose. Leon’s earned $9 million or 13 cents per share, down from $11.2 million or 16 cents per share a year ago. Same-store corporate sales fell 5.8 per cent compared with the second quarter of 2011.

Ensign Energy Services Inc. (TSX:ESI) lost 17 cents to $15.52 as it reported $18.7 million in quarterly net income, or 12 cents per common share, up from $16.1 million or 11 cents per share a year ago. Revenue increased to $463.9 million from $334.4 million in the year-earlier period.

Google Inc. (Nasdaq:GOOG) will cut about 4,000 positions at its Motorola Mobility subsidiary, about onefifth of the cellphone maker’s total workforce. Google acquired Motorola Mobility Holdings earlier this year for

US$12.5 billion as part of its telecom strategy. Google rose 2.8 per cent to US$660.01.

WASHINGTON — The government will buy up to $170 million of pork, lamb, chicken and catfish to help drought-stricken farmers, the White House said Monday as President Barack Obama brought his re-election campaign to rural voters in Iowa.

The purchase for food banks and other federal food nutrition programs is expected to help producers struggling with the high cost of feed during the worst drought in a quarter-century.

Federal law allows the Agriculture Department to buy meat and poultry products to help farmers and ranchers affected by natural disasters.

The announcement came as Obama criticized Republican vice-presidential candidate Paul Ryan for blocking a farm bill that could help farmers cope with the drought.

Obama touted his efforts to help farmers as he began a three-day tour of the battleground state he won in 2008.

“The purchases will help mitigate further downward prices, stabilize market conditions and provide high quality, nutritious food to recipients of USDA nutrition programs,” Agricul-

ture Secretary Tom Vilsack said in a statement.

The USDA said it would buy up to $100 million of pork products, $50 million of chicken, $10 million of lamb and $10 million of catfish.

The Defence Department, a large purchaser of beef, pork and lamb, was expected to look for ways to encourage its vendors to speed up purchases of meat.

Obama has pledged a wide-ranging response to the drought.

His administration is giving farmers and ranchers access to low-interest emergency loans, opening more federal land for grazing and distributing $30 million to get water to livestock.

Many ranchers have sold off livestock as feed costs rise and their pastures dry up.

The selloff is expected to lead to lower prices through December with a glut of meat on the market, but higher costs beginning next year.

Severe drought across the nation’s midsection has sent corn prices soaring by nearly 23 per cent.

More than half of all U.S. counties have been designated primary disaster areas this growing season, mostly due to drought.

Disappointing numbers: UK trade body says tourism slumped during London Olympics

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON — The Olympics brought less tourist money to recession-hit Britain than officials expected, a trade group said Monday, with a majority of tourist businesses reporting losses from last year.

A survey of more than 250 tour operators, hoteliers and visitor attractions found that tourist traffic fell all over Britain, not just London, said UKinbound, a leading trade association representing British tour operators, shops and hotels. The survey said 88 per cent of British tourism-oriented businesses reported some losses during the games compared to the same period last year.

“As an industry we knew the games would have a negative impact on international visitor numbers to London but the impact on the rest of the U.K., combined with domestic visitors staying away, has been deeply disappointing,” said Rita Beckwith, chief executive of London’s City Cruises, a member of UKinbound.

Officials are still tallying up the total number of tourists who came to — or avoided — London this summer.

The capital normally sees about 1.5 million tourists on average in August, but UKinbound and other trade groups say a significant number have chosen to steer clear of London, and even the

rest of Britain because they thought it would be too busy.

The official visitor figures won’t be available until September.

Tourism officials say that international Olympics visitors to London, including athletes, officials and tourists, totalled about 300,000. Domestic spectators from Britain made up the majority of people visiting games venues.

Restaurants and shops have complained that these games visitors did not spend as much money on food and shopping as typical summer tourists.

“The people who came to the games really didn’t do very much sightseeing, didn’t do very much shopping, didn’t do very much eating out,” said Miles Quest, a spokesman for the British Hospitality Association.

London’s hotels have hit about 80 per cent occupancy, which is not higher than typical August rates, Quest added.

There were some positive signs. Visa, the only credit card accepted at the Olympics venues, reported that international visitors to Britain spent more than 450 million pounds ($705 million) on their cards during the first week of the games, up by 8 per cent on the same time last year.

Around 12.7 million pounds were spent on Visa cards in London restaurants last week, an increase of almost 20 per cent on a year ago.

RBC Dominion pays $500,000 to settle with regulator over handling of Earl Jones

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — RBC Dominion Securities Inc. will pay $500,000 in a regulatory settlement for professional lapses by employees who failed to ask questions and take precautions about a client who was later convicted of fraud.

The fraud was committed by Earl Jones, who has been convicted of defrauding more than 150 clients over more than 20 years as a Montrealbased financial adviser before he was found out.

The brokerage arm of Royal Bank of Canada (TSX:RY) and two individuals admitted in the settlement to allowing Jones to have authorization to trade on behalf of numerous unrelated clients.

They also admitted to failing to

question withdrawals he made on certain accounts.

Besides RBC Dominion, the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada settled with Jean-Pierre Menard and Serge Leclaire, who will pay $100,000 each and have their registrations suspended for six months.

In March, Royal Bank agreed to pay $17 million to settle a suit launched by victims of Jones, who operated a financial-services business for more than two decades.

Much of the money initially lost

by Jones’ clients was held at an RBC branch on Montreal’s West Island.

The unregistered, self-styled financial planner ran a Ponzi scheme in which many of his former clients were friends or family and people he met through word-of-mouth.

Athletes return home to cheers

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

DEREK LOWE

YANKEES GET LOWE Two weeks ago, Derek Lowe thought his season might be over.

He was that disgusted with the way he was pitching. Now, he is a New York Yankees reliever. Lowe signed a contract with the Yankees on Monday, two weeks after being designated for assignment by the Cleveland Indians.

“I was honest with myself,” said Lowe. “I said, ’I’m not going to go back if I can’t figure out what to change.”’

A self-professed careerlong “tinkerer,” the 39-year-old Lowe spent his brief time out of baseball working on his delivery in Fort Myers, Fla., getting back to the place where he felt he could contribute.

When he was released

by Cleveland on Friday he had been talking to Baltimore, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Boston, the team he helped to win the 2004 World Series championship.

The Yankees jumped in without seeing him throw when ace CC Sabathia went on the disabled list Saturday because of elbow trouble, and the deal was quickly agreed to.

“It happened in literally 10 minutes,” said Lowe.

Yankees manager Joe Girardi wasn’t concerned that no one in the organization saw Lowe pitch in Florida after the right-hander had an 8.80 ERA over his last 12 starts for the Indians. Right-hander Ryota Igarashi was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to make room on the roster for Lowe.

VANCOUVER — Canada’s Olympians were greeted by cheering fans and throngs of media as they touched down on home soil Monday.

A large crowd of young and old alike serenaded soccer star Christine Sinclair as she arrived in Vancouver a day after carrying Canada’s flag in the London Games closing ceremony.

“We wanted, heading into this tournament, (to) leave the sport in a better place than when we’d gone into it,” she said. “I could never have imagined this (strong show of support) would have come.”

Across the country, Sinclair’s teammate Diana Matheson, who scored the dramatic winning goal in Canada’s bronze-medal victory over France, also received a hero’s welcome when she arrived at Toronto’s Pearson Airport.

“I think right now we’re going home to sleep for a week,” said Matheson.

Canada’s only gold medallist was also greeted by adoring fans in Toronto.

Trampolinist Rosie MacLennan, proudly wearing her medal around her neck, said her Olympic success has brought a lot of attention to her sport.

“Now everybody knows my name,” said the 23-year-old MacLennan, whose saw her Twitter followers explode from 900 to more than 14,000 after the big win.

The delegation included a number of bronze medallists — divers Jennifer Abel, Emilie Heymans, Roseline Filion, Meaghan Benfeito, and judoka Antoine-Valois Fortier were all present.

Valois-Fortier, the first Canadian to win an Olympic judo medal since his coach, Nicolas Gill, won gold at the Sydney Games in 2000, literally burst into tears on the mat at the conclusion of his bronze-winning fight.

“It was a very emotional moment,” the judoka explained.

“It all came out at once, all the

better if the spectators were moved by it.”

Meanwhile, the four Canadian divers return home with the feeling of a job well done.

Heymans and Abel picked up the bronze in the three-metre synchro event, while compatriots Benfeito and Filion did the same from the 10-metre platform.

It was an even more satisfying result for the best friends Benfeito and Filion, who placed seventh at the Beijing Games in 2008.

Heymans, taking part in her final Olympics, finished her career by becoming the first diver

in history to win a medal at four different Games. She was a big help to her young teammate, who at only 20, was participating in her second Games.

“Emilie has so much experience behind her,” said Abel.

“She taught me to stay calm, to take my time and to have fun during competitions.”

Jubliant fans weren’t staying calm about Sinclair’s arrival in Vancouver.

“We love you, Christine!” shouted one young female admirer.

“She’s our captain! She’s our captain!” others chanted.

The women’s soccer bronze was one of the biggest Canadian stories of the London Games after the team lost to the United States in a semifinal marred by controversial officiating.

Sinclair said the bronze medal reaffirms her desire to go for gold again at the 2016 Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro.

“I’m not retiring,” said Sinclair. “I don’t think any of us are retiring.”

In the months leading up to the Games, the 29-year-old, Burnaby, B.C., native said she would keep playing until at least the 2015 Women’s World Cup, which Canada is hosting, and likely stay on for another year for the Rio Games.

But there was no doubt about her future Monday as she spoke to reporters, signed autographs and posed for pictures for hundreds of fans.

Sinclair helped Canada claim its first ever Olympic medal in soccer as she led all scorers at the Games with six goals. It was also Canada’s first medal in a traditional team sport at a Summer Games since 1936.

Russia goaltender Andrei Makarov stops Canada’s Ty Rattie in first period action at the Canada-Russia junior hockey challenge in Halifax on Monday.

Russia 6 Canada 5 HALIFAX — Andrei Sigarev scored his second goal of the game with 6:23 left to play as Russia edged Canada 6-5 in Game 3 of the Canada-Russia Hockey Challenge on Monday night.

Sigarev collected the loose puck in front of net and slipped it past goaltender Laurent Brossoit in front of 8,144 fans at Halifax Metro Centre.

Russia now leads the four-game exhibition series 2-1 with the final game set for Tuesday night in Halifax. The first two games were played in Yaroslavl, Russia, on Thursday and Friday. Canada won the opener 3-2.

Russia grabbed an early lead with two goals in the first six minutes. Sigarev notched his first of the game when he skated into the high slot before floating a low wrist shot past Brossoit on the glove side.

Russia went up 2-0 when Daniil Romantsev made a beautiful backhand pass to Vladimir Tkachev, who raced to the net and knocked the puck into the open side.

Two minutes later Canada got on the board while on a two-man advantage as Ryan Murphy ripped a slap shot to the inside post at 8:49.

Union to table counter-proposal today

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — The NHL Players’ Association is dreaming big.

Faced with an initial proposal in collective bargaining that held absolutely no appeal, NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr is proceeding as though it never happened.

Rather than quibbling over the fine points of the NHL’s offer, the union has chosen to reimagine the league’s economic system in a proposal it will deliver today.

“What we expect to do tomorrow is to put forth an alternative view as to what we should do next,” Fehr said Monday.

“That’s the best way I can put it.”

It’s a bold move with a Sept.

15 deadline looming for a lockout.

The initial offer from the NHL called for a lowering of the players’ share in revenue and introduced new contract restrictions, among other things.

There wasn’t one aspect of it that appealed to the union, with one source saying the NHLPA felt it was designed to “anger and provoke” rather than kickstart meaningful discussions.

Despite that, the union thoroughly examined it over the last month before deciding there was no true counter-proposal to be made. Fehr will instead offer up a “different kind of an ap-

proach” — one that no doubt includes expanded revenue sharing and more flexibility than is currently allowed under the league’s rigid salary cap system.

“It’s how the players see the world,” said Fehr.

But what about the owners?

Judging by the initial proposal, the biggest change they’re after is reducing the amount of money spent on players. NHL commissioner Gary Bettman acknowledged as much last week but has otherwise kept his cards pretty close to the vest.

Negotiations have been underway for seven weeks, but he still isn’t sure exactly what the union has in mind.

“I’m interested, very interested,” Bettman said of the forthcoming proposal.

“We’ll have to wait and see.

I’m not going to try and speculate as to what they’re going to present tomorrow. I have no idea.”

Time is beginning to run short with the current deal set to expire on Sept. 15. Bettman added even more urgency to the talks when he revealed last week that the players will be locked out if that date passes without a new agreement.

It was a comment that resonated strongly with the players — many of whom took to Twitter to voice their displeasure with it. Fehr took notice as well.

“The tone (of negotiations), in a sense, I suppose is a little different given that backdrop

NHLPA’s Donald Fehr talks to journalists after leaving talks in Toronto on Monday August 13, 2012 as negotiations continue between the NHL and the NHLPA to avoid a potential lockout. and the starkness from which it was delivered,” he said.

The players will be looking to make a splash with their proposal on Tuesday. As many as 25 union members are expected to be in attendance for the session — including superstar Alex Ovechkin — and key details are slated to be released publicly.

During Fehr’s time with baseball’s players’ union, he fought vehemently against a salary cap and it’s believed he’s strongly in favour of lessening the impact of the one the NHL instituted after losing the entire 2004-05 season to a lockout.

One way to do that is to introduce a luxury tax for teams that spend above a specific threshold.

It’s unclear if the NHLPA might be able to interest owners in that kind of system. Asked specifically about how he felt about a luxury tax on Monday, Bettman declined comment by saying he won’t negotiate publicly.

Negotiations are about to pick up pace. Despite the fact the sides have been talking throughout the summer, they finally seem ready to get down to work.

Kvitova wins marathon match to take Rogers Cup women’s title

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — Winning the women’s Rogers Cup was a breakthrough event for Petra Kvitova.

Not only was it the 22-year-old Czech’s first WTA Tour victory of the year, it was also the first of her eight career titles that was won on North American soil. ”I hope it will continue,” said Kvitova, who said this week she has had trouble winning in North America because the high humidity affects her asthma. ”North America is always tough for me and I’m so glad how I played here this week.”

Kvitova defeated China’s Li Na 7-5, 2-6, 6-3 in two hours 17 minute final on Monday night before a less-than capacity crowd at Uniprix Stadium.

The tournament is also at the start of the hardcourt season leading into the U.S. Open at the end of the month. ”It’s great,“ said Kvitova, who won six titles last year, including Wimbledon. ”I finally won a title this year. It was a good final, a good fight from both sides.”

She won $360,000 while Li got $180,000. The win avenged a loss to Li at Sydney this year and evened their all-time matchup at two victories apiece. ”It was a tough match, this was a tennis war,” said 30-year-old Li. ”Both players played good. ”She’s very tough. She plays the ball so deep.

I felt I was always on defence. The last two matches I felt I could be aggressive on the court, but this one I felt I was 70 per cent of the time on defence.”

The match pitted two grand slam champions from 2011, as Li took the French Open. Li is 0-3 in tournament finals this year.

Kvitova, seeded fifth, struggled to start, hitting several balls long, and fell behind 3-1 before she found the range with her forehand and charged back to take the lead. Even then, she needed to save three break points to take a 6-5 lead, then won the set on her fifth break point against 10th-seeded Li. Spectators were stunned to see Li take the first 16 points of the second set to grab a 4-0 lead before Kvitova finally held serve.

But Kvitova got her game back for the third, hammering shots deep in the hardcourt that Li could not return. Li didn’t help herself by hitting two easy smashes into the net.

Her service was broken at 3-2 when she doubled faulted, then had a return fly wide off the rim of her racket.

BRIEFS Chandler McDowell of Springbrook, who plays out of the Red Deer Golf and Country Club, is among eight Canadians on the Canadian Junior Golf Association team to compete in the Stephen Ames Cup in Trinidad.

The event, a Ryder Cup style competition, begins Wednesday.

Heading into the tournament, Canada holds a 4-3 lead in the series after capturing the Cup last year in Calgary.

Competitors qualified for the team through the CJGA’s Nike Golf Junior Series, a total of 12 events, across Canada.

The 12-year-old McDowell will compete in the 15-and-under division.

”Between the second and third sets when I was in the locker room changing my clothes, I knew I had to attack the balls and play much faster than in the second set, and have a better first serve percentage,” said Kvitova, who punctuated the win with an ace on match point.

Kvitova, a southpaw who won on International Lefthanders Day, reached the final with a three-set victory over seventh-seeded Caroline Wozniacki.

Li had a tougher route, getting past local prospect Eugenie Bouchard, eighth-seeded Sara Errani and second-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska just to reach the semifinals.

There she roared back from a 5-1 third-set deficit to defeat another Czech lefty, Lucie Safarova.

Under agreement with the WTA, organizers had a private jet waiting at the airport to take the finalists to the next Tour stop in Cincinnati.

It was the first day of the week-long Rogers Cup with no rain delays, but the 11,659-seat centre court was still about 2,000 under capacity as fans stayed home.

Most of it went up against the London Olympics as well, which also dampened the usual buzz around the event.

Some star players also either skipped or withdrew from the tournament, including Serena Williams, Maria Sharapova and Victoria Azarenka.

Jays pull out win in extras

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Blue Jays 3 White Sox 2 TORONTO — David Cooper drove in the winning run in the 11th inning as the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Chicago White Sox 3-2 on Monday night.

Moises Sierra homered and Edwin Encarnacion also singled in a run as the Blue Jays (55-60) opened a fourgame series with their second straight win.

Carlos Villanueva tied a season-high with eight strikeouts and was effective through seven innings of work by allowing just five hits and one walk.

Toronto reliever Steve Delabar (3-1), meanwhile, was dominant in two extra innings with six strikeouts that included a club-franchise four in the 10th after White Sox catcher Tyler Flowers advanced on a passed ball.

Adam Dunn homered twice for Chicago (62-52), including the longest homer of the season at Rogers Centre at 469 feet, to give him the major-league lead with 33 homers and his second multihomer game of the season.

White Sox starter Jake Peavy went eight innings, allowing both earned runs while striking out six and walking two.

His night was ruined when reliever Nate Jones gave up a full-count hit to Cooper that scored Kelly Johnson from third base.

Chicago reliever Leyson Septimo (02) took the loss after walking Johnson.

Sierra gave the Blue Jays a 2-1 lead in the seventh inning after sending a 1-1 pitch from Peavy over the centrefield wall for his first career homer.

But after Toronto reliever Aaron Loup pitched a clean eighth, closer Casey Janssen gave up Dunn’s second homer of the night on the first at-bat of the ninth to send the game to extra innings tied at two.

The Blue Jays opened the scoring in the third when Peavy lost control.

He hit both Anthony Gose and Kelly Johnson, then gave up a single to Encarnacion that drove in Gose. Chicago limited the damage by catching Johnson in a putout on the same play to end the inning.

The lead didn’t last long. Dunn responded by mashing a solo shot off the centre-field window to tie the game at one. His homer just edged a 467-foot bomb by Encarnacion against Cleveland on July 14.

Gose showed off his speed by stealing second in the fifth, but had to walk back to first after Rajai Davis was called out for interfering with Flowers’ throw to second. That prompted a visit to the mound by Toronto manager John Farrell, but the long argument with home plate umpire Brian Knight amounted to nothing.

Gose stole second again on the next at-bat, but the effort was made moot when Johnson popped up to end the inning.

Benson says he has plenty to give Packers THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Oakland Raiders defensive tackle Desmond Bryant (90) tackles Dallas Cowboys running back Felix Jones (28) during the first quarter of an NFL preseason football game in Oakland, Calif., Monday.

Cowboys top Raiders in quiet opener NFL PRESEASON

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Cowboys 3 Raiders 0 OAKLAND, Calif. — Darren McFadden picked up where he left off before a foot injury cut last season short by gaining 38 yards on Oakland’s first three plays of the exhibition season and the Raiders went on to lose to the Dallas Cowboys 3-0 Monday night.

McFadden, who missed the last nine games of 2011 with a Lisfranc injury to his right foot, opened with a 4-yard run, an 18-yard reception and a 16-yard run to delight of the Raiders fans.

But Carson Palmer threw an interception to Gerald Sensabaugh on the next play for Oakland (tied for No. 23 in the AP Pro32).

Dan Bailey’s 33-yard field goal on the opening drive of the second half for Dallas (No. 15, AP Pro32) provided the only scoring.

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Cedric Benson knows there’s an expiration date stamped on any NFL player and that it seems to come up sooner for running backs than anyone else.

Benson insists he has a lot left to give the Green Bay Packers despite carrying the ball more than 1,500 times over the past seven NFL seasons.

“I think I’ve got plenty,” Benson said Monday.

“I still feel good. I’m still loose, I diet well and I train well and do the best I can to contribute to the longevity of my career as best I know how. And I think I’ve got plenty of years left. I feel great.”

The Packers signed the free-agent running back on Sunday, hoping to add depth and productivity at a position that is being stretched thin by injuries just a few weeks into training camp.

Already missing James Starks because of a turf toe injury — and not wanting to overtax second-year player Alex Green in his return from a season-ending

knee injury — the Packers’ problems were compounded when they lost John Kuhn to an ankle sprain during Monday’s practice.

Coach Mike McCarthy had to cut practice short by 20 minutes because the team simply didn’t have enough running backs to get through all their drills.

Benson isn’t likely to play in Thursday’s preseason game against Cleveland, potentially leaving the Packers shorthanded.

“Right now, we have three running backs,” McCarthy said. “We’ll see where John is the next couple days. I’d like to have four of them going into the game.”

Benson, the No. 4 overall pick by the Chicago Bears in the 2005 draft, struggled with injuries, inconsistency and off-the-field trouble with the Bears. But he revived his career over four seasons in Cincinnati, including three straight years over the 1,000-yard rushing mark.

Benson was surprised he didn’t draw more immediate interest in free agency, but said he was happy to end up in Green Bay.

“Year to year in this business, guys always have something to prove, you know?,” Benson said.

“There’s a tendency of, ’What have you shown me lately? What have you done for me lately?’

You’re always out to leave your stamp on the game every season.”

By signing Benson, the Packers apparently passed on the chance to re-sign veteran Ryan Grant, who is without a job after five solid seasons with the Packers.

“Ryan Grant has been a very good player for us in the past,” McCarthy said.

“There’s a lot of decisions that go into every player acquisition on our team, a number of different factors. This isn’t just something that was thought of and done in the short term. There’s all different intangibles in acquiring a player.

Cedric Benson’s a good fit for us.”

One potential red flag for the Packers: Benson has 19 career fumbles, losing 11 of them.

“Once again, that’s all part of the evaluation,” McCarthy said. “(We’re) very familiar with the statistics, very familiar with the film study.”

Canada wins opener in Hlinka U18 tournament Canada 4 Switzerland 1 PIESTANY, Czech Republic — Nathan MacKinnon had a goal and two assists Monday as Canada kicked off its bid for a fifth straight gold medal at the under-18 Ivan Hlinka Memorial hockey tournament with a 4-1 win over Switzerland.

Curtis Lazar, Nicholas Ritchie and Yan-Pavel Laplante had the other goals for Canada, which got 30 saves from goaltender Zachary Fucale.

Canadian head coach Todd Gill said opening the tournament with a win was a huge positive for the squad.

“We obviously have a long way to go but we’re going to get better and better with each game and each practise,” said Gill. “We have three in a row here and face Sweden (on Tuesday) and have to be better than we were tonight.

“We’re a brand new club trying to learn systems and new players so it’s going to take a little bit but it was a good start.”

Canada has dominated the summer tournament since its inception, winning it 16 times since 1991.

Gill, who coaches the Ontario Hockey League’s Kingston Frontenacs, said the Canadian team’s strength is its offensive firepower.

“Our kids are buying in and we had a good cycle going and we got a lot of opportunities of it,” he said. “We just have to start burying our chances.”

Canada fell behind in the first period after Switzerland scored on the power play. But Lazar tied the score at 15:45 before MacKinnon, who is expected to be one of the top picks at the 2013 NHL draft, put the Canadians ahead to stay at 19:49.

Ritchie’s power-play goal accounted for all the scoring in the second before Laplante cemented the victory with an empty-net goal at 19:46 of the third.

Gill said the Canadian team adjusted well to the larger European ice surface but had a harder time getting used to the officiating.

“We had nine penalties in this game and we really have to cut down on

STORY FROM B1

SERIES: Tribute With 2:47 left in the period, his defence partner Ryan Murray slipped a point shot through Russian goalie Andrei Makarov to tie the game.

Russia regained the lead less than a minute later when defenceman Mikhail Naumenkov’s point shot deflected off a Canadian player in the slot.

Anton Zlobin scored a short-handed goal to make it 4-2 for Russia early in the second, but Canada fought off the jet lag and rallied with goals by Sean Monahan and Charles Hudon to tie it 4-4 going into the final period.

Anoton Slepyshev and Jonathan Huberdeau exchanged power-play goals early in the third.

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

The club was devastated by a plane crash last September that killed 44 players and coaches, including former NHL defenceman Brad McCrimmon.

that,” Gill said. “A lot of them were stick penalties where the defenceman has a man going wide and gives him that little tap that we’re used to doing but it hits the other player’s stick and we’re in the box all night.

“It’s frustrating but you can’t let it get you down because they’re going to call it all night long no matter what the score is.”

The good news, Gill said, is that can be readily fixed.

“It’s discipline,” he said. “As a coaching staff we’re going to have to put a plan in place where instead of chasing the guy and giving him a whack we play a turnover game where you turn the player over to someone who is closer to him.”

Canada is in Group A with the Czech Republic, Finland and Slovakia. Russia, the U.S., Sweden and Switzerland

make up Group B. The top two teams in each division advance to the semifinal round Friday.

The two winners will square off in the tournament final Saturday.

Canada will face Slovakia on Wednesday before having a wellearned day off Thursday. Gill said with such a condensed schedule, it’s important a team be able to roll four effective lines to keep all the players fresh.

“You have to give everybody the opportunity to play,” he said. “Tonight, for the most part, we rolled four lines.

“The thing I find is (coaches) don’t really match up here, they just roll their lines and that’s a bonus, I guess.

If I see them throw a line that I think is considered their fourth line then if I get last change I’m coming back with my No. 1 line. But tonight I wanted to roll four lines to get everybody ready.”

Thompson leading push for dam LONG-TERM SOLUTION SOUGHT FOR AREA FROM SOUTH OF SUNDRE TO GLENIFFER LAKE

BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF It’s time to construct a dam on the Red Deer River to protect against spring runoff flooding, says a newly formed community group.

Myron Thompson, spokesman for the Red Deer River Quality Control Committee, said while some efforts have been taken to protect against flooding in the Sundre area, such as berms and rock-filled spurs to limit erosion, a long-term solution needs to be found in an area stretching from south of the town to Gleniffer Lake.

“That whole stretch of river is risky all through there,” said the former MP, who has been deeply involved in lobbying for provincial and federal funding help for previous river projects.

“Something needs to be done because in (the committee’s) opinion, we’re only one flood away from disaster.”

Thompson said there are a number of measures that have potential, including extending berms to keep back flood waters.

But the best solution would be to build a dam upriver that could be used to control each spring the amount of water rushing down the river, which at many points has low banks.

Besides controlling flows, a dam could be used to provide hydroelectric power and its reservoir would provide a recreation destination and increase tourism to the West Country.

“There are so many positives,” said Thompson.

The committee plans to encourage area residents to write the province to press for action, he said. Hundreds of letters get

more attention in Edmonton than a petition with scores of signatures, he said.

The dam idea is not new. In the 1970s, prior to the Gleniffer Lake dam being built, there were four potential dam sites identified further upstream.

The committee plans to dig up past work and scientific studies to build its case to revive the dam plan.

In the meantime, there are other projects that could be undertaken to limit the kind of erosion that has torn up trees and filled the river with debris, he said.

Thompson said the province needs to undertake more general maintenance projects on its rivers to reduce flooding risks.

Talk about a hot walk for charity, literally.

Airdrie native Thomas Chadwick, a firewalk instructor, will be hosting a firewalk east of Red Deer on Thursday.

The act of walking barefoot over a bed of hot embers is part of a fundraising initiative for Room to Read, a charity that builds libraries for children in developing countries.

Chadwick took a training course nine years ago in Florida and learned how to teach people to walk across hot embers and other nerve-racking, potentially dangerous items, such as broken glass and nails.

Since then, he has guided about 800 people across the coals. His hope is that many people come out to the event at the Valley Community Centre, east of Red Deer on Hwy 595, even as spectators.

“Just being a part of a group where someone walks across hot coals with their bare feet is exciting and empowering,” he said on Monday.

There will be about 10 feet of coals placed on the ground, which makes for about three or four steps across the coals, Chadwick said.

The act of walking barefoot over a bed of hot embers is part of a fundraising initiative for Room to Read. A firewalk will be held east of Red Deer on Thursday.

“The primary step you make is the very first one. Before that you’re standing there and your conscious mind knows that this is dangerous but once you break through that barrier of fear, those other steps are less intense,” he said.

The firewalking guru said that people need to be in a state of peace and concentration to properly make the walk.

“And while you are doing it, the requirement is to pay 100 per cent attention to what you are

doing,” he said.

The event kicks off at 7 p.m. with a seminar that includes an introduction to firewalks from previous firewalkers. Chadwick will then provide information and education about how to firewalk safely.

The event costs $50 for people to attend or walk across the coals, which will be donated to Room to Read. For more information, visit www. firewalking.ca. jjones@reddeeradvocate.com

Affordable housing plan for Clearview WOULD BE LOCATED ON PIECE OF FORMER MICHENER SERVICES LAND

BY LAURA TESTER ADVOCATE STAFF A piece of former Michener Services land could be rezoned to develop affordable housing in Red Deer’s Clearview North.

An open house on changing the Clearview North Neighbourhood Area Structure Plan is being held on Thursday from 5 to 8 p.m. inside Kerry Wood Nature Centre at 6300 45th Ave. The City of Red Deer owns the four-acre parcel along Caribou Crescent in the northwest corner of the neighbourhood.

It was provided by the provincial government for affordable housing.

The amendment would replace a cul-de-sac and single family and multi-family residential designations with a multi-

family residential/place of worship/assembly designation.

Michener Services provides home living and other supports to adults with developmental disabilities.

In 2008, the province announced it was changing its policy to allow surplus provincial land, including Michener Services land, for affordable housing.

Orlando Toews, senior planner with the city, said the province stipulated this four acres

must be used for affordable housing.

“The shape of that four-acre parcel is a little different than what is shown in the Neighbourhood Area Structure Plan and the uses are a little different,” said Toews on Monday.

“It’s a change from the original plan, but nothing is firmed up about the shape of things that would develop on there.”

The type of housing would likely be row houses or apartment-style. There wouldn’t be a

cul-de-sac going into that site as well, he said.

Toews said the land is just an open area or farmland.

There are no specific plans on what a multi-family development could end up looking like, said Toews.

City administration is also suggesting a Direct Control District for that four acres. This type of district is used when there are unique circumstances and so, typically, council is the authority.

Instead of going to the municipal planning commission or going to the development officer for a development permit, the information goes directly to council and they deal with it, Toews said. ltester@reddeeradvocate.com

Fiestaval Latin Festival spiced up for 2012 MORE BANDS, MORE DANCING, MORE FOOD More bands, more dancing and more food have joined the mix to spice up Red Deer’s city centre for the third-annual Fiestaval Latin Festival on Saturday.

Vehicle traffic will be blocked on Ross Street at 49th Avenue from 11 a.m. to late into the night to bring a program that has been significantly enhanced from last year.

This year’s Fiestaval intro-

duces many new performers, including a 12-piece mariachi band from Mexico to take the stage in the beer gardens from 7:15 to 9:30 p.m.

Artistic co-ordinator Christian Greiffenstein said on Monday that he expects the 2012 edition to be a significant improvement over last year’s, which came perilously close to being cancelled because the site was not secured until a month and

a half before the celebrations were set to start.

Organizers feel that better organization, better communication and a wider range of performers and vendors will draw in a much larger crowd, said Greiffenstein.

He expects to see 8,000 to 10,000 guests to come down for the celebration.

Fiestaval was organized to showcase Latin culture, recog-

nizing that Red Deer and the surrounding area has become home to a rapidly growing community of people who have come from Latin countries from Mexico south to the tip of South America, he said.

“Our culture is one rich in celebration. We love to gather and dance and Fiestaval allows us to do that.”

Cadets to graduate Area residents are invited to check out two graduation ceremonies from the Penhold Air Cadets Summer Training Centre before they head home.

The power and glider scholarship cadets will hold their graduation ceremony in Hangar 6 at Red Deer Airport on Thursday at 7 p.m. This is a “wings” parade where successful cadets will parade to receive their wings.

“This is always a very moving ceremony,” says spokesman Stan Monkman of the Air Cadet League of Canada.

The cadet camp will hold its final graduation parade of the year on Friday at 10 a.m.

About 900 cadets will be on parade on the drill square next to Hangar 6.

Two large cadet bands will be on hand, plus a number of proud parents. The ceremony involves cadets from across Western Canada.

Joffre rink plans proceed Plans to build a new outdoor skating rink in Joffre are picking up speed after successful efforts to score some funding help.

Lacombe County Coun. Cliff Soper, who represents the area, said the existing rink is only about 20 metres long, isn’t level and was on private land. So a decision was made to find a new site for a full-sized replacement rink.

A county-owned former baseball field was found and the search for grants was on.

Nova Chemicals came up with $302,000 and the county provided $57,000. A $125,000 provincial grant has been applied for and another application is in for a $205,000 federal grant.

The completed facility will have a concrete pad that can be used for other recreational pursuits in the summer. There will also be washrooms built. It is hoped that construction can start next spring.

Shorelines to be scoured Local community groups and volunteers will be scouring Central Alberta shorelines as part of a nationwide environmental initiative next month.

The Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup runs from Sept. 15 to 23 and involves many lakes and rivers, including the Waskasoo Creek, the Red Deer River and Bower Ponds in Red Deer.

Groups can also co-ordinate cleanups in Sylvan Lake, Lacombe, Blackfalds and Rocky Mountain House by registering at shorelinecleanup.ca.

“The Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup is a great program and open to anyone and everyone who wants to take part and it is a great way for people to get out with their community, family and friends and do something

Collision charges discussed Lawyers are negotiating charges against a Cochrane man accused of killing four people and injuring another in a collision on Hwy 2 near Innisfail in early March.

A total of 19 charges have been laid against Tyler James Stevens, 30. Stevens was arrested after two SUVs collided head-on in the southbound lanes at about 11:30 p.m. on Sunday, March 4.

Innisfail RCMP allege that a vehicle was travelling northbound in the southbound lane when it collided with an oncoming SUV carrying five people.

All five were temporary foreign workers employed at an Edmonton hotel.

Charges against Stevens included four counts each of criminal negligence causing death and impaired driving causing death, along with additional charges of criminal negligence causing bodily harm and impaired driving causing bodily harm. He is also charged with refusing to provide a sample of his breath to police.

Red Deer lawyer Brad Mulder appeared for Stevens in Red Deer provincial court on Monday, acting as agent for Calgary lawyer Ian Savage.

Mulder asked that Savage be given additional time to review the charges and negotiate a resolution with the Crown.

Stevens and his counsel are return to court with a proposal on Aug. 27.

Knife accused has help A Red Deer man who begged to be locked up in relation to a knife attack in Rotary Park now has the help of a Calgary lawyer.

Ronald James Alexander was arrested at about 12:30 a.m. on July 17 in connection with a fight that sent another man to hospital with a severe stab wound.

Alexander, 36 was charged with aggravated assault and possession of a dangerous weapon after emergency staff reported the man’s injuries to Red Deer City RCMP. Appearing agitated and disoriented during his first court appearance on July 18, Alexander asked Judge Jim Mitchell to lock him up and leave him in jail. Mitchell refused to accept a guilty plea and instead adjourned the proceedings, advising Alexander to seek assistance of Legal Aid. Appearing by closed-circuit TV from Red Deer Remand Centre on Monday, Alexander stood quietly as Calgary lawyer Mary C. Brebner spoke for him in Red Deer provincial court.

Brebner sought an adjournment so she would have time to review evidence against her client.

She and Alexander return to court on Friday, Aug. 31.

Rimbey artist’s work at Lacombe gallery A Rimbey area young artist who likes to create pieces that bring happiness will be showcased at Lacombe’s Gallery on Main.

Leanne Karlstrom will be featured at a free reception on Saturday from 5 to 9 p.m. at the gallery located at Suite 2-4910 50th Ave. Karlstrom uses pen and ink with a straight or curved line and going where her imagination leads her. She was recently asked to submit one of her pieces for display at Times Square in New York City.

Over the past 10 years, she has earned numerous diplomas and certificates, including a yellow belt in kickboxing and a diploma in interior design.

Karlstrom found over the years that she was drawing and painting less.

Then several years ago, she learned about alternative health and many of its beliefs associated with it. Karlstrom began to change the way she thought and lived, based on what she learned on that health journey.

“I have learned to seek my bliss, to do what truly makes me happy and that has brought me back to art,” said Karlstrom.

“Whether I’m drawing or painting, the message in my work is always the same: Love and light. To create something that brings happiness into others’ lives is my truest goal.”

The Gallery on Main is open Tuesdays through Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, go online at www.thegalleryonmain.com.

Planning, preparation, relaxation, execution and evaluation.

These words best describe the process that each and every golfer needs to go though prior to hitting any shot. Not unlike our everyday lives, those that plan their activities — be it on paper or in their heads — and then work their plan will tend to have more success at the end of the day.

SCOTT Each and every one BERGDAHL of us has INSTRUCTION dreamed about what we would like to become at one point in time in our lives. Although there are many bumps in the road along the way, many of us achieve our goals! Goals, of course, vary from person to person but all of us in one way or another has and/or is experiencing this.

Dreaming is one thing, coming to a decision as to what you want to achieve is something completely different. Whether you have or have not come to that decision, never stop dreaming as it is the spark that keeps the fire burning.

Golf is exactly the same. Although different for each and every one of us, we all want to play better golf.

Motivated differently, many could care less about score. Some play for relaxation, some use it as a social event and then — of course — some play to win. Score is the only thing that matters. Regardless of the reason you play the game, we can all play better than we currently do.

One of the best things a golfer can have is a SHORT MEMORY. That’s right, a short memory. The sooner you can forget about a poor shot that you just hit, the easier it is to move on. Tension kills the golf swing and burning inside (being angry or mad) about a bad shot creates tension and you lose focus. The quicker you put that poor shot out of your mind the better you will hit your next shot. You can not change the past, therefore why dwell on it. Learn from it, make the appropriate changes and move on.

This is where your pre-shot routine comes in. A pre-shot routine helps prepare you for your upcoming shot. It assists you in becoming decisive and relaxed. It allows you to perform to the best of your ability for each and every

shot on the golf course. In other words, it enables you the opportunity to play your best. To not have a pre-shot routine is like playing without any golf balls. You simply need one.

Believe it or not, you all have a pre-shot routine, you just may not be aware of it. In the next few paragraphs, I shall describe some of the factors that are involved in a good pre-shot routine. Some of these include club selection, practice swings, aiming, the waggle and then — of course — focus.

First of all, a pre-shot routine is designed to put you in a prepared state of mind to allow you to perform to your maximum potential. It is critical to eliminate the negative thoughts that creep into your mind if indeed you happen to hit a poor shot. In fact, it is these negative thoughts that generally will cause you to make a poor swing. Staying in the now becomes an important component to proper execution. In other words, if you fear the trouble that lies ahead, then you shall get into trouble. You need to be aware of it, not fear it.

Prior to starting your pre-shot routine, you need to make a club selection. Prior to making your club selection you need to consider a number of factors that will influence which club you choose.

Some of these factors include your yardage, wind conditions, grass conditions and the type of lie that your golf ball is sitting on. Prior to choosing your club, you must also look forward to check out the lay of the land. You must always be aware of where the trouble areas are for your next shot. Understanding what to avoid is a critical component to choosing the correct club, as it will assist you in becoming confident, therefore allowing you to swing freely.

Once you have chosen your club, your pre-shot routine now begins. This is your time. Your focus time. A good pre-shot routine should take the exact same amount of time for every shot.

Some people do not need a lot of time to get prepared, therefore it may take only 10 seconds. Others will have a few components added within their pre-shot routine, therefore it may take them 30 seconds to hit their shot. Regardless of the amount of time it takes to hit your shot, a good pre-shot routine needs to be exactly the same from shot to shot. Having said that, be careful to not take too much time as it can create an adverse affect (creates indecision and therefore tension) and slow down your speed of play.

A practice swing — or swings in most cases —is an important com-

ponent to your pre-shot routine.

This is simply you rehearsing a good swing. It puts a positive feeling or sensation in your mind and body, and assists in reinforcing confidence in execution. One or two practice swings is sufficient in all cases. Be sure not to have too many practice swings as it is important to be mindful of your speed of play on the golf course.

Alignment is critical to hitting not only a solid shot, but one that starts and finishes in the direction that you intend it to go. There are many ways to assist in aligning your body properly to your target.

One that I use is to stand approximately 10 feet behind the golf ball. From there, draw a straight line in your mind’s eye, dissecting your target and your golf ball.

From here, pick a point no more than one yard in front of your ball that sits on that line. This now becomes your new target. When you step up to the ball, the first thing you do is aim your golf club at that point and then set up your body.

This in most cases will allow you to get set up in perfect alignment.

From here you are almost ready to go. The next is the waggle. The waggle is a tool used to keep the hands, wrists and entire body relaxed prior to hitting the shot. A waggle is different from person to person but is an extremely important tool to hitting a great shot.

Finally focus, focus, focus. Now focus is a hard one because it means different things to different people. Having said that, it is a critical component to staying in the shot. The best way for me to describe focus is to imagine a beam of light coming out of your eyes. That beam of light is looking at a piece of grass between your ball and club. You keep your eyes on that spot until the ball is gone.

Within that beam of light there are no thoughts that can penetrate it. In other words, you are relaxed, confident and prepared to execute the shot without any negative interference.

You do not hear your playing partners, you tune out the natural noises and you definitely do not think about the “what ifs” (what if I hit it in the water, what if I hit it in the trees etc…). The “what ifs” will most certainly cause you to hit a bad shot.

As indicated earlier, there are many different components that can be included in a good pre-shot routine. You need to understand what needs to be accomplished by having a pre-shot routine and then practise them until you find one that works for you. Have a great week of golf.

Love announces Ryder Cup assistants, will make captain’s picks later

BY DOUG FERGUSON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CHARLESTON, S.C. — Ryder Cup captain Davis Love III filled out his roster of assistants on Monday by adding Scott Verplank and Jeff Sluman. Far more interesting is his decision in three weeks when he picks four Americans who will be hitting shots and trying to win back the cup at Medinah.

For the first time since 2006, the PGA Championship did nothing to change the standings in the final qualifying event for the U.S. team. Tiger Woods was No. 1 on the list of eight automatic qualifiers, with Phil Mickelson holding down the final spot.

Love announces his four captain’s picks Sept. 4, the day after the second FedEx Cup playoff event.

He indicated that the next three players in the standings — Hunter Mahan, Steve Stricker and Jim Furyk — were likely selections, calling them “high on the list.”

As for the rest of them?

“We have three weeks to watch them,” Love said.

“We have a chance to watch a guy get hot. How are these guys playing now that they can relax and don’t have to try to make points. Now they are shifting gears a little bit. And we want to see how they play.”

Brandt Snedeker and Bill Haas are the only players under serious consideration who are competing this week in Greensboro, N.C. The real emphasis begins the following two weeks at The Barclays, which features the top 125 on the PGA Tour at Bethpage Black; and the Deutsche Bank Championship.

The other qualifiers were Matt Kuchar, Zach Johnson, Master champion Bubba Watson; and Ryder Cup newcomers Keegan Bradley, Jason Dufner and U.S. Open champion Webb Simpson. Dufner and Bradley will be playing for the first time in any cup competition.

Love said he is looking at a little bit of everything — Ryder Cup experience, good form and an eye toward potential pairings. Of the players who missed out on qualifying, Stricker would seem to have the least to worry about. He was one stroke short of bumping Mickelson off the team — though Stricker birdied the 18th, so his hopes were over before he got to that hole. Even so, he has been Woods’ partner the last three cup competitions, and they went 2-1 as a tandem in Wales at the last Ryder Cup. “I think if you look back over the last few Ryder Cups and Presidents Cups, Tiger and Steve Stricker have been a really good pairing,” Love said. “They are both very comfortable with it.”

Rickie Fowler, who missed the cut at Kiawah Island and has had three rounds in the 80s over his last 15 rounds, is close friends with Watson. Then

Tiger Woods reacts to his missed putt on the 18th green during the second round of the PGA Championship golf tournament at Kiawah Island Golf Resort. Woods leads the automatic qualifyers for the Ryder Cup. Captain Davis Love will announce his captain’s picks on Sept. 4. again, Watson and Simpson were a strong pairing at Royal Melbourne in the Presidents Cup last year.

“It’s important to fit in as a team,” Love said. “I certain saw that firsthand watching Corey (Pavin) pick the team. You certainly have to consider pairings when you pick a guy. You don’t want to pick a guy that’s not going to be comfortable and a team leader.”

Woods was a captain’s pick in 2010, returning from a year filled with turmoil off the course. He is a three-time PGA Tour winner this season, and Love says he has evolved into a quiet leader for the team.

Europe’s qualifying period is still two weeks away, ending at the Johnnie Walker Championship at Gleneagles on Aug. 26. European captain Jose Maria Olazabal will make his two captain’s picks the next day. The biggest change for Europe at Kiawah Island was Ian Poulter moving inside the top 10, though Olazabal was likely to pick him anyway. Olazabal has not announced any of his vice captains.

Love now has Fred Couples, Mike Hulbert, Sluman and Verplank. Sluman, a former PGA champion, never played in a Ryder Cup. He was Jack Nicklaus’ top assistant during three straight Presidents Cup matches and is well-respected by the players.

Life goes on after affair PATTINSON PROMOTING MOVIE

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Annie Lennox performs during the Closing Ceremony at the 2012 Summer Olympics, Sunday, in London.

Lennox, Kidjo sign on to Toronto Hope Rising benefit concert

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Scottish pop star Annie Lennox is set to take her powerful pipes to a Toronto benefit concert for the Stephen Lewis Foundation.

Organizers say the former Eurythmics singer, who performed at Sunday’s Olympics closing ceremony, is among the artists lined up for the second annual Hope Rising! event.

West African singer-songwriter Angelique Kidjo has also signed

on to the show, scheduled for Nov. 7 at Roy Thomson Hall.

CBC Radio host Jian Ghomeshi will host the event, which supports grassroots initiatives in the fight against HIV/AIDS in Africa.

The concert will also celebrate the 75th birthday of Lewis, a former UN Special Envoy for AIDS in Africa.

Tickets — which start at $59.95 — go on sale August 20 at 10 a.m.

ET and are available via the Roy Thomson Hall website, phone line or box office.

Last year’s inaugural Hope Ris-

ing! concert — which included sets by Alicia Keys, K’naan and Rufus Wainwright — was sold out and raised more than $500,000.

“As a passionate AIDS activist, I’m delighted to be performing at Hope Rising!” Lennox said Monday in a statement.

“I share the conviction of the Stephen Lewis Foundation that community-based organizations in Africa, and particularly the women who are at the heart of the grassroots response, are playing a critical role in turning the tide of AIDS.”

LOS ANGELES — Robert Pattinson has decided to come back — to the spotlight, that is.

The 26-year-old actor has been out of sight since learning last month that his girlfriend and Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart had an affair with a married movie director.

A tabloid printed photos of the illicit dalliance, breaking the hearts of Twilight fans worldwide and prompting Stewart and the director to issue public apologies to their loved ones.

But Pattinson can’t lay low forever — he has a film to promote.

So on Monday, he was in New York for round of media appearances, including a chat with Jon Stewart on The Daily Show and the premiere of Cosmopolis, a thriller based on a Don DeLillo novel.

On the red carpet, an upbeat Pattison wasn’t asked directly about the cheating scandal — media were limited on the number of questions they could ask — but he talked at one point about the movie’s steamy sex scenes.

“I feel a little uncomfortable doing that. But I mean, some of the scenes in this were like complicated acting scenes, like during a sex scene which makes it — it’s a very strange experience,” he said with a smile.

Work obligations often force celebrities out of hiding after challenging personal situations, but choosing how and where to make a comeback is often a carefully calculated move.

“There’s no one show that’s the right answer for everyone,” said veteran publicist Howard Bragman, now vice chairman of Reputation.com. “The right answer is the one where you think you’re going to get the most respect, the fairest hearing and the best presentation — and potentially where you’ve had the best relationships in the past.”

When Pattinson chatted with Stewart in 2010, the comedian invited him to return, saying, “You are making me cooler.”

Fred Willard also opted for a comic comeback recently, appearing on Jimmy Fallon’s Late Night show, where he joked about his arrest for lewd conduct nine days earlier.

Musicians, songwriters who worked with Elvis share memories, 35 years after his death Central Alberta artists’ an’s song into a man’s.

He also brought the song to a worldwide audience.

“It still had the same attitude,” Stoller said. “I think that’s what Elvis liked, that kind of snarly attitude.”

The way Stoller found out that Hound Dog was a hit is quite remarkable.

Stoller was returning from a three-month stay in Europe on the ocean liner Andrea Doria when it collided with the Stockholm and sank near Nantucket, Mass., on July 25, 1956. About 50 people died and more than 1,600 were rescued.

Stoller was picked up by a freighter that brought rescued passengers to New York. Leiber met Stoller at the dock.

“When I came in and went down the gangplank onto solid ground, he was there at the dock running up and the first thing he said to me was, ‘Mike, we got a smash hit,”’ Stoller said. “I said, ‘You’re kidding.’ He said, Hound Dog. I said, ‘Big Mama Thornton?’

He said, “No, some white kid named Elvis Presley.”’

Presley’s career eventually slowed down, and he lost popularity to acts like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. But a 1968 television musical show, referred to as the ’68 Comeback Special, showed that Elvis had returned as a revitalized, handsome, vocally strong performer.

MEMPHIS, Tenn.

— Elvis Presley left behind hit songs, epic performances, some so-so movies and an image as a handsome, rebellious, talented and sometimestroubled artist that remains indelibly marked in America’s pop culture psyche 35 years after his death.

Presley also left behind memories held closely and deeply by the songwriters and musicians who not only helped him work his magic in the studio and onstage, but also worked hard to keep his music alive today. Many described him as intelligent, humble and generous.

DJ Fontana, Elvis’ longtime drummer, met Presley during the popular Louisiana Hayride shows in the early 1950s.

Fontana, who still tours and plays Elvis songs, said Presley rarely rehearsed and always appeared cool.

“He never did prepare for nothing, early on,” Fontana said. “Every time he came onstage he was ready. He never did get really nervous, you know.”

Fontana, studio musician Bobby Wood and others are playing a 35th-anniversary tribute concert in Memphis on Thursday, commemorating the day Presley died in 1977 at 42.

The event is part of Elvis Week, the annual celebration of all things Elvis that includes the candlelight vigil at his mansion, Graceland, on the eve of the death anniversary.

Elvis Week will draw about 75,000 fans. Exwife Priscilla Presley and daughter Lisa Marie Presley are expected to attend the concert, which will include live musicians playing along with video footage of Elvis singing.

Also in attendance will be songwriter Mike Stoller, who teamed with the late Jerry Leiber to form a songwriting duo that today is enshrined in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Stoller appeared at a songwriter’s forum at Graceland on Saturday.

Leiber and Stoller

wrote an impressive roster of pop, country, R&B and rock ’n’ roll classics, including Elvis recordings Hound Dog, Jailhouse Rock, Don’t and Loving You. Stoller recalls being impressed with Presley’s hard work and his manners. When they met, Stoller had to tell Elvis to refer to the songwriters — who were only two years older — as Jerry and Mike, not sir.

During the recording of Jailhouse Rock, Stoller was sure they had nailed it on the ninth take.

“He was already up to take 25, 26, and he kept saying, ‘I think I can do it better,”’ Stoller said.

“Finally he said, ‘Where’s that one that you liked?’ We went back and played it and he said, ‘Yeah, that’s it, that’s cool.”’

When Big Mama Thornton first released Hound Dog in 1953, it was a woman’s song about a low-class man who was “cryin’ all the time.”

Her recording was a hit in black communities but hardly known among whites, Stoller said.

When Presley sang it, it changed.

On the record and in his gyrating performances, the young Elvis portrayed a masculine sexuality that helped turn Hound Dog from a wom-

Friendship will come around or fade away Dear Annie: I left a relationship of six years when my boyfriend became physically and emotionally abusive. We have two children together.

With my children’s well-being as my first priority, I decided to stay in the same town so they could have full access to their dad. Here’s the problem: My ex keeps trying to win me back, and I am not interested. Whenever I see him in order to drop off the kids for visitation, he always asks me to spend some time alone with him. I always decline, but he is persistent. It has become an uncomfortable situation for me. And if I have my new boyfriend (or anyMITCHELL one) with me when he comes & SUGAR to drop off the kids, he turns around and takes them back to his place.

I don’t want him to ruin my new relationship, but I still have to find a way to get my children to my ex. How do I make these weekly transitions less painful and awkward? -- Pulling My Hair Out Dear Pulling: It might help if you could arrange the transfer of the children without your direct involvement. That means allowing someone else to meet your ex in a neutral location to hand over the kids, and then repeat the procedure when they are to be returned. If your ex is not cooperative and withholds the children when it’s time for them to come home, you should speak to your lawyer or a mediator. And please keep your new boyfriend out of the picture during pick-up and drop-off times. His presence only makes a difficult situation worse.

Dear Annie: I have been friends with “Sarah” for seven years, since we were in high school. After college, we continued to stay in touch, even after I married. Last summer, Sarah got a new boyfriend. Since then, she rarely returns my calls or answers my emails. She often promises to write more next time

I am surprised to find that Sarah has become such a fair-weather friend when I’ve gone out of my way to keep in touch. Recently, Sarah mentioned that she would be in my city and that she’d like to meet up for lunch. After a few days passed, I called to ask whether she was still interested, and she said she’d already come and gone.

Is it time to cut off this friendship and explain my reasons? Maybe she’d shape up. Her infrequent emails and texts imply that she still considers me a friend, although apparently only when she feels like it. -- Sad Sack Dear Sad: You can tell her why you’re unhappy if

Continue to email and text occasionally in order to keep in touch, but don’t expect more. Either she will come around or the friendship will fade away naturally.

isn’t a matter of will or an imposition of judgement, just you doing what’s right for you. Self-honesty helps plant your feet.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Thoughts are bouncing around within you, as you consider what you need to feel secure. The best answer you can come up with is greater financial security.

Could there be something else you’re seeking? The answer lies in getting clear on what you really value.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Those wonderful projects you’re moving towards are about to get a new dose of inspiration and brilliance. It may not be for anyone else just yet.

You will know in the moment of sharing whether it feels right to let others in or not.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Just as there’s a difference between being altruistic and being a door-mat, there’s also a difference between being egotistical and being self-valuing. You sense

a need to look out for you today. It’s an impetus that can be trusted.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): If we take a step back and examine our lives from a larger perspective, the picture can appear as a fairy tale. There are twists, turns, love, and delight. The whole story has yet to be revealed.

Your life is unfolding exactly as it should.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Contact with your creative force increases. You want to be left alone to foster it, but other people are asking for your attention. Instead of closing the door, meet the challenge. Conversations have a way of inciting your confidence. There you will find new inspiration.

ELLIS Claire B. 1943 - 2012 Claire Ellis (nee Dimock) passed away peacefully on the morning of August 12, 2012, after a short battle with cancer. She will be lovingly remembered and greatly missed by her family, friends and neighbours, as someone who gave of herself and could be counted on at any time. Claire was born on January 12th in Scotch Village, Nova Scotia and grew up on the farm/orchard surrounded by family. She graduated from Anslow Business College in 1963. She came west in 1968 where she met and married her husband of 37 years. She is survived by her husband, Sydney “Syd” Ellis, son, Brian and his wife Kira (Bergstrom) Ellis, and grandchildren Annika, Berg, and Joel Ellis; step-daughter, Wendy (Ellis) Henry; stepdaughter-in-law, Charlotte Ellis and grandson Jay Ellis; sister-in-laws, Cicely (Basil) Dalton and Fay Chisholm.

Her east coast family includes her sister, Carol Dimock; nephews, Wade (Jeanice) Hunter and Garnet (Linda) Hunter; sister-in-law, Diana Dimock; nephew Kevin Dimock, and nieces Katherine (Denis) Lavioe, and Karen Dimock; and “Bestest Friend” Marie Fortune. She is predeceased by her parents, Kenneth and Sarah Dimock; her brother Kenneth “Eric” Dimock; and son Michael Dimock; her step-sons, Richard “Rick” Ellis and Ronald “Ron” Ellis; step-son-in-law Desmond “Des” Henry; brother-in-laws, Roy Howard, Hugh Center, and J. Burns Chisholm; and motherin-law Sadie Inglis. Claire contributed much of her time to volunteering and helping others. She began volunteering for the Canadian Red Cross as a school girl and as an adult this included two American Red Cross assignments to disasters in Georgia and Puerto Rico; she delivered and coordinated Meals on Wheels since 1978; she donated blood 130 times which benefited many Albertans. As well, she had a special interest in genealogy and volunteered at the Red Deer Branch of the Genealogy Society. Because of her lifetime of giving, Claire and her family would appreciate donations to be made to the Red Deer Meals on Wheels, The Canadian Red Cross, Red Deer Branch of the Alberta Genealogy Society or to any charity of your choice in lieu of flowers.

Friends and family are invited to celebrate Claire’s life on Friday, August 17, 2012 at 1:30 p.m. at Sunnybrook United Church (12 Stanton Street).

SAWYER 1924 - 2012 John Louis Sawyer passed away peacefully surrounded by family and friends on Monday, August 13, 2012, following a brief battle with cancer, at the age of 88 years. A lifelong resident of the Pine Lake area, he took over the homestead originally settled by his family in 1903 and continued to play an active role in the farming and ranching operations there until his illness. He was an active and much loved and respected member of the community throughout his life. His varied interests gave numerous people the opportunity to experience his generosity, compassion, and not least, his sense of humor, firsthand, at venues including horse-drawn wagon treks, antique machinery exhibitions, the 40 plus club, as well as the Alberta Senior games. His sense of adventure and family also led to trips to a variety of locations, such as Florida, Alaska and Hawaii in recent years, in the company of his wife, children and grand-children. John was predeceased by his parents and brother, Francis, but is survived by his wife of 61 years, Ella (nee Clutton); son, Doug (Carole) of Pine Lake and their children, Braden and Brittany; daughter, Beverly (Dwayne) of Calgary and their sons, Chase, Colton and Emitt. He is further survived by brother, Don (Hazel) of Edmonton; and sister, Edith of Innisfail; along with numerous nieces, nephews and cousins, and will live on in the hearts and minds of those whose lives he touched. The family would like to express their gratitude to the doctors and nurses of Red Deer Hospital, unit 32 and 33 for their care, as well as to the family members and friends for all their support in Johnny’s final weeks. A celebration of John’s life will be held at the Pine Lake Hub Community Centre, #20, 36366, Range Road 252, on Thursday, August 16, 2012 at 2:00 p.m. A private family interment will take place at the Pine Lake Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society, #101, 6751 - 52 Avenue, Red Deer, Alberta T4N 4K8.

Condolences may be sent or viewed at www.parklandfuneralhome.com Arrangements in care of Joelle Valliere, Funeral Director at PARKLAND FUNERAL HOME AND CREMATORIUM 6287 - 67 A Street (Taylor Drive), Red Deer.

Gunman, police officer among three killed in Texas shootout

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS COLLEGE STATION, Texas — A law enforcement officer attacked as he approached a home near the Texas A&M University campus was killed along with a male civilian in a Monday shootout that also left the gunman dead, police said.

Two other law enforcement officers and a woman were injured in the shooting in College Station, said Bryan Police Department spokesman Jon Agnew.

Bryan police are assisting in the investigation.

Assistant College Station Police Chief Scott McCollum identified the law enforcement officer killed as Brazos County Constable Brian Bachmann.

McCollum said Bachmann had gone to an off-campus home near the A&M football stadium when the gunman opened fire from inside the house. He said he didn’t know why Bachmann had gone to the home.

Other officers responded to the home after receiving a call that an officer was down. They shot the gunman and took him into custody, McCollum said.

The gunman was later pronounced dead.

The two other injured officers were hospitalized and the civilian woman was undergoing surgery, Agnew said.

Agnew said officers had established a perimeter around the area shortly after the shooting just east of the Texas A&M campus, but they do not believe a second suspect was involved. He said police don’t know if the shooter was a student at the university.

NORWAY

Report criticizes police for failing to change in wake of massacre

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS OSLO, Norway — A year after a far-right militant’s bomb and gun attacks exposed flaws in Norway’s terror preparedness, police are being criticized for failing to improve their ability to stop a gunman bent on inflicting mass casualties.

In contrast to the 1999 Columbine High School massacre in Colorado, which led to sweeping changes in police tactics and training in the U.S., the massacre of 77 people in July last year hasn’t had a tangible impact on Norway’s police force, critics say.

“There are hardly been any visible changes from July 22 and until today. That is what our members tell me,” said Arne Johannessen, who heads Norway’s union for police officers. “Now things have to happen. Now both the leadership in the police and the politicians must take this seriously.”

A government-appointed commission on Monday presented a long-awaited 500-page report outlining flaws — and some bright spots — in how police and other authorities responded to Norway’s worst peacetime attacks.

The Renegades Soccer Club is dedicated to creating opportunities for youth to improve their soccer skills to the highest level by upgrading our coaches, placing teams in leagues with the highest competition, and providing elite technical training.
