Infestation challenges claim to rat-free distinction SIXTY RATS AND COUNTING DESTROYED AT MEDICINE HAT LANDFILL; RED DEER CONFIDENT THERE ARE NONE HERE

BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF The notorious Norway rat may have evaded borders to set up home in Southern Alberta, but that does not mean the destructive creature has hitched a ride to Central Alberta.

Last week, 19 Norway rats were discovered and destroyed at a Medicine Hat regional landfill in Cypress County. Since that time, more rats have surfaced in nearby sites, bringing the tally to nearly 60 as of Thursday afternoon.

The majority of the rats were nesting in a colony in the landfill.

“There’s more,” said Brandy

But with no reported sightings of the deadly rodent in Central Alberta, local pest experts say the province is in little danger of losing its title.

In his 10 years with the Red Deer County, Art Preachuk, fieldman and

agricultural manager, has only seen one rat and it was a relative of the Norway rat.

“I’ve had one black rat that came in on a truck at one of the industrial parks,” said Preachuk. “It was taken of They found it dead.” dead ” care of.

The county receives about six calls a year from residents who think they have spotted the rodent. They have brought in wood rats, pocket gophers and muskrats for inspection.

The Norway rat is about 15 to 20 cm (six to eight inches) long, hairless and has a long, slender tail. Preachuk

and his staff take courses on how to identify the rodent but most have c o m e face to face with rodent in

the other provinces.

“I come from Manitoba,” said Preachuk.

“They’ve got lots of them in their landfills. They are very hard to get rid of once you get them in there.”

City council to discuss gang unit as part of mid-year budget review

BY LAURA TESTER ADVOCATE STAFF A new RCMP unit focused on organized crime across Red Deer and Central Alberta will be up for discussion during a mid-year budget review in Red Deer city council chambers on Monday.

Civic leaders will discuss the 2012 municipal budget and the next year’s possible budget, starting at 9 a.m. on Monday at Red Deer City Hall. This is the first time such a mid-year review is being held publicly.

The intent is to go over changes that were made and see what kind of impacts they made, as well as how to best prepare for 2013.

A 121-page report is coming forward and includes a request from the specialized Alberta Law Enforcement Re-

sponse Team (ALERT).

The team has approached the city about partnering in creating a regional Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (CFSEU) to strategically tackle serious and organized crime in Red Deer and Central Alberta.

“Red Deer is adversely affected by organized crime operating throughout Central Alberta,” says the report. “A partnership with ALERT would create a regional enforcement model which mirrors the organized crime operating model significantly impacting Red Deer and area.

“The close proximity of these units provides synergies associated with sharing of critical intelligence that would provide a significant value to both ALERT and the detachment.”

RATS: Multiply rapidly and chew through anything And nobody wants rats. The destructive creature multiples rapidly and can chew through pretty much everything including buildings. They destroy and contaminate crops, stored grains and other food sources. There’s also a risk to human health. Rats can carry diseases and pass on to humans.

In the 1950s, the province implemented a rat eradication program that includes a “rat patrol” of agricultural fieldman that guards the eastern border between Alberta and Saskatchewan from Norway rats.

The program has been relatively successful with only isolated reports at landfills and other sites in the province. The clever rats are known to catch rides on vehicles and trains, so it may not be unusual to spot a rat in areas far from the eastern border.

Municipalities and counties take the threat of the rat seriously. Agricultural fieldman and animal patrol officers will investigate every call that comes into their offices.

“With all the work that is being done by the rat patrol program, I don’t think we’re in jeopardy at all (of losing the rat-free status),” said Jay Byer, Stettler assistant agricultural fieldman. “We nipped this infestation in the bud.”

Byer said they receive about three or four calls a year. They look for signs of chewing, droppings and travel pathways. Byer said there not have been any positive identification of rats in Stettler.

Duane Thomas, Animal Services director of enforcement for the City of Red Deer, said they have not received a call of a potential sighting for about six months. Generally the call volume picks up in the spring and fall when muskrat are migrating from one pond to another and end up crossing the road.

Because of the similar tails, muskrats are often mistaken for the Norway rat. “(People) automatically think rat,” said Thomas.

“We do get a lot of calls. Usually that time of year we do see an increase. We go there and sure enough it is a muskrat.”

Thomas said Alberta will continue to be relatively rat-free but there will always be isolated cases of rats popping up because the border is not completely closed to everything. He said the province is on top of it right away when there is a positive identification.

“The program is basically controlling what is found and eradicating what they have found,” said Thomas. “They have been very successful in doing that in the last 60 years.” crhyno@reddeeradvocate.com

ALERT: Nine positions ALERT has partnered with police agencies in Calgary, Edmonton, Fort McMurray, Medicine Hat, Lethbridge and Grande Prairie.

ALERT has identified nine positions that it would establish and fund for the Red Deer unit, consisting of seven Mounties, one civilian member analyst and one administrative support position. There also exists an opportunity to relocate three federal RCMP resources to work alongside ALERT within the Red Deer city detachment.

These resources are found in the RCMP building located on 55th Street and are dedicated to the intelligence-gathering function.

The city will be asked to contribute half of the cost towards developing undeveloped space in the downtown detachment to house ALERT to a maximum of $150,000. Capital dollars would come from the $100,000 downtown detachment capital project surplus and $50,000 from capital reserves.

The city would also provide six municipal RCMP members to the unit. The unit would draw from three Mounties already working at the detachment.

One additional officer would be funded in 2013, and two in each of the 2014 and 2015 budget cycles.

The city would also commit to accommodate three federal RCMP officers in the developed space.

Administration reports this extra unit would have no impact on property taxes in 2013.

The costs for 2014 could result in a.08 per cent property tax increase and a .14 per cent property tax increase in 2015.

This would involve an increase in the 2014 base budget of $80,000, while the 2015 base budget would increase by $140,000 to fund additional officers. ltester@reddeeradvocate.com

Couple cycling to Maine to raise funds for cancer CANCERVIVE PELOTON PROJECT

BY LAURA TESTER ADVOCATE STAFF

‘WELLSPRING PROVIDES THINGS THAT HOSPITALS DON’T PROVIDE. IT’S COMPLETELY VOLUNTEER FUNDED, SO THIS RIDE HELPS THEM TO OPERATE EVERY YEAR.’

A Red Deer couple intend to cycle to Lewiston, Maine, to raise funds to fight cancer.

Andrew and Gwen Harker are taking part in Cancervive Peloton Project, which will leave from Wellspring Calgary on Oct. 3 for a 4,100 km journey.

They will arrive in Lewiston, a city of about 42,000, one day before the Dempsey Challenge begins on Oct. 13 and 14.

Actor Patrick Dempsey, famous for his TV role as neurosurgeon Dr. Derek Shepherd (“McDreamy”) on Grey’s Anatomy, helped start the Patrick Dempsey Center at Central Maine Medical Center in his hometown. Dempsey will ride with the cyclists on the last day into Lewiston, Andrew Harker said.

The Dempsey Center provides free support, education and wellness services to cancer patients, survivors and caregivers.

Wellspring Calgary offers various cancer support programs and services at no cost to the user.

The Harkers have pledged to raise $20,000 for Wellspring Calgary and have raised $18,500 since February.

The final $1,500 is expected to be collected during a Calgary silent auction involving all the cyclists.

our health, so why not go for it,” said Harker.

“Wellspring provides things that hospitals don’t provide. It’s completely volunteer funded, so this ride helps them to operate every year. ” Andrew, who works at an oil and gas company, and Gwen, an elementary school teacher, have been training regularly for the last 18 months.

They’re also excited about a documentary film that will follow the lives of the cyclists. Dempsey is the executive producer.

Ramsey Tripp, who runs Trademark R Productions in Lewiston, is directing.

“It will talk about the ride across, the training involved, just to show the fundraising and people beating cancer,” said Harker.

Tripp plans to film the couple in Red Deer. ltester@reddeeradvocate.com

About 40 riders will cycle across Alberta and Saskatchewan, then around the Great Lakes, into Detroit, up to Ottawa and over to Quebec before heading south to Maine.

The Harkers, both in their 30s and parents of four, will be included in one of five teams that will ride for six hours straight or about 120 km.

A crew inside an ambulance, several vans and a motorhome filled with supplies will travel with the cyclists.

Each team will have its own caravan. The cycling will be continuous, 24 hours a day.

“Each team does a shift every 24 hours,” said Andrew Harker.

Harker estimates each team will ride a total of 1,000 km.

Gwen’s sister Heather Frisen volunteers at Wellspring Calgary and told them about the opportunity.

Rod Lazenby was a bylaw enforcement officer for the Municipal District of Foothills southwest of Calgary, but he was also a retired RCMP officer.

He died last Friday after responding to a complaint on a property near Priddis, Alta.

The property’s owner, Trevor Kloschinsky, is charged with first-degree-murder.

The funeral is to be held at 2 p.m. Aug. 24 at the Highwood Memorial Centre in High River, Alta.

A release from the municipality says the service will be open to the public and members of the law enforcement community.

MONEY: Should be made public That total included $700,000, equal to his salary for two years, plus $240,000 for benefits and allowances for two years, plus a $73,000 retirement bonus. Vogelzang released the information to the Advocate in October 2008. Vogelzang and eight other health region CEOs saw their jobs eliminated after Alberta Health created a provincial superboard and dismantled regional health boards in May 2008.

The David Thompson Health Region included Red Deer, Ponoka, Olds, Three Hills and Rocky Mountain House. The region is now called Central Zone.

Red Deer North MLA Mary-Anne Jablonski was unavailable for comment due to family commitments on Thursday.

Red Deer South MLA Cal Dallas was unavailable for comment as well.

Kerry Towle, Wildrose MLA for Innisfail-Sylvan

Lake, said that breakdown of the $2.7 million should be made public.

“I don’t think it’s the position of the government not to tell taxpayers where this $2.7 million was allotted,” said Towle. “If it was paid out, then taxpayers have the right to know how it was allotted and who it was paid to.”

The nine health authorities across Alberta and three boards — Alberta Cancer Board, Alberta Mental Health Board and Alberta Alcohol and Drug Abuse Commission — received $80 million in funding from Alberta Health and Wellness for costs of transitioning to Alberta Health Services.

These costs include more than $21.3 million handed out for retirement plans given to health executives. Another $22.58 million was severance. ltester@reddeeradvocate.com

Cougar shot after attacking seven-year-old boy on Vancouver Island

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS PORT ALBERNI, B.C. — Conservation officers have shot and killed a cougar believed to have attacked and injured a seven-year-old boy on Vancouver Island.

The cougar was tracked following the Wednesday evening attack at a campsite near Sproat Lake, about 15 kilometres northwest of Port Alberni, B.C. Officials say the big cat was found not far from the site of the incident, and was destroyed.

There’s no indication, yet, why it might have attacked the youngster.

The boy and his father were walking along a riverbank just before 8:30 Wednesday evening when the cougar pounced, biting the boy on his head and shoulder.

The father chased the animal away, the youngster was treated for injuries in a nearby hospital and is expected to be okay.

Chiefs in Penticton and Osoyoos are also asking how the joke was able to make it into print.

“This was a very sad incident that’s very disgraceful and disrespectful to First Nations people, especially coming from a legion and knowing that my grandfather was a veteran,” Penticton Indian Band chief Jonathan Kruger said.

“Everyone needs to own up and what I see are a bunch of excuses. A sincere apology needs to be made,” said Kruger, who said took great pride watching the recent documentary Storming Juno, which included footage of his grandfather, Joe Frazie.

The national leader of the Royal Canadian Legion has apologized for the actions of its branch in Cranbrook, B.C., for a joke it published about murdering two “Indians.”

Gordon Moore said in a statement the organization is “appalled that an anti-aboriginal ‘joke’ was published in a newsletter.”

“I am aware of the remarks made in the ‘joke’ towards our aboriginals and do not deem this as acceptable behaviour for any branch of The Royal Canadian Legion,” he said.

The Cranbrook branch printed 40 copies of their August newsletter before pulling the issue. The replacement issue explained why the joke was removed, but didn’t offer an apology.

Moore did apologize personally and on behalf of those at the legion’s Dominion Command to those offended by the

behaviour. “The provincial command involved has taken the proper steps to ensure this type of mistake doesn’t happen in the future,” he said.

“Aboriginal people have fought alongside of other Canadians with honour, commitment and pride.

They do not deserve to be subjected to this type of behaviour anywhere or any time.”

The joke incensed at least one woman who received the newsletter.

First Nations leaders in the province were also outraged.

Shirley Green, 77, said she was shaking with outrage when she read the joke and immediately contacted the branch president.

She said the joke disrespected and dishonoured thousands of aboriginal soldiers and Metis and Inuit.

The joke involved two hunters, one from Alberta and one from Saskatchewan, who separately shot an “Indian.”

PQ panders to prejudice Odious.

That’s the only way to describe the Parti Quebecois’ latest gambit to protect its front-runner status in the Sept.

4 election.

Not for the first time, the party is posturing as the champion of Quebec’s identity by cynically pitting the majority against minorities.

How else to account for the Charter of Secularism that PQ Leader Pauline Marois vows to enact, hoping to fire up her base and win over conservative nationalists?

Her skewed vision for a “secular” Quebec includes retaining the Christian crucifix that adorns the National Assembly, while erasing symbols of the Monarchy, and banning provincial

OTHERVIEW employees from wearing other religious gear.

Workers could still sport a crucifix around their necks, so long as it isn’t “too big.”

But those who want to wear a Muslim hijab or head scarf, a Jewish skullcap or a Sikh turban would be out of luck.

The ban would affect — or afflict — everyone from teachers to nurses to bureaucrats.

This comes on the heels of PQ promises to put anglophones in their place by cracking down on English in the

workplace, by toughening enforcement of French on commercial signage and by denying immigrants and francophones access to English-language colleges.

We’ve seen this road show before.

It’s an unhealthy, divisive aspect of Quebec’s fetid “identity debate,” with its exaggerated fears about minorities.

And Marois is a master at it.

As rookie PQ leader in 2007, she stirred a furor by tabling a bill to create a “Quebec citizenship” that would, among other things, deny newcomers to the province the right to run for public office, unless they can prove they speak French and are conversant with Quebec culture. The party platform still clings to the “citizenship” idea.

This is all about Quebec’s past being in denial of Quebec’s present and future. Pluralism enriches the province, as it does the country.

Even Lucien Bouchard, a former PQ premier and sovereigntist icon, recognizes that. Two years ago he urged the party to stop pandering to the prejudices of xenophobes and aim to be a larger tent.

The province’s vibrant francophone, Catholic character isn’t “threatened by immigrants,” he said.

He was right. Quebec’s identity has never been more secure.

Any party that aspires to govern should recognize that.

Sadly, his warning fell on deaf ears.

An editorial from the Toronto Star.

Don’t let apathy control your life Over the last couple of years, I’ve probably written over 100 articles, mostly dealing with the street and why people do the things they do and why change is so difficult to master.

It seems that our words of encouragement, instruction, and admonishment just fall on deaf ears.

Notice I said “it seems.”

The one thing that they have responded to is our care and love for them, and so in subsequent conversations, they recall things that have been spoken to them in the past. They remember because they know that we spoke those CHRIS words out of a loving SALOMONS concern for them.

So then, why no change, why keep on with the addictions and the sometimes aberrant behaviour?

We constantly scratch our heads wondering if we perhaps did not say the right thing, maybe helped in the wrong way.

I smoked for 53 years. Not proud of it, but I stubbornly kept smoking in spite of the encouragement, admonishments from family and friends, and the pleadings from my children to quit.

Eventually, with the encouragement I received (mostly from my wife) and the fear of dying before I would be able to hold my grandchildren, I was able to quit a little over two years ago.

I think it must have had something to do with the man upstairs, because I managed to quit even though I really didn’t want to.

Why did I hold out for so long?

I read a book recently about human trafficking and the child sex trade. There were times while reading the book where I wanted to throw up; especially where it involved children.

I remember thinking while reading that book that surely there was something that I could do about it. But as time passed and other things got in the way, I almost completely forgot about it.

So often that is exactly what happens: life gets in the way.

Or does it? Maybe we let life get in the way so that we don’t have to become involved, and we have done it so often that we do it totally without thinking.

And the thing is that in this beautiful and plentiful country with so many great things to do to keep ourselves happily busy, the thoughts of a nine-year-old being raped up to 20 times a day would just totally dampen our enjoyment. So we conveniently forget.

So why do we do this and allow it to continue?

This is something I call Unconscious Apathy. I call it that, because we have so conditioned our hearts and minds to avoid such truths, that we no longer have to do so consciously.

Therefore our addictions, parties, sports, golf games and whatever else we do are not distracted by these harsh realities, and we can continue to enjoy them without guilt.

Sad part is, I’m one of them, exactly like the addicted ones on the street, and we conveniently put truth off to one side.

Do we then stop these pursuits of pleasure?

No, I don’t think we have to do that, at least not the healthy ones, but in all fairness, if we want to demonstrate kindness to our neighbour (and I don’t mean your golf buddy), I really feel that we can spend an equal amount of time involving ourselves with organizations that are out there making a difference to the hurting people, and trying to right the wrongs in the world that are so painfully obvious, because the last words I would want on my tombstone are the words: Here lies an Unconscious Apathetic.

Don’t fight bike lanes near schools; send your child to school on a bike

BY JOHN JOHNSTON SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE How should children get to school? Safely, of course.

But does safely mean that their parents should drive them to the front door of the school every morning and then pick them up again in the afternoon?

Parents who worry too much about their children’s safety can create more problems than they solve.

At many of our middle schools, vehicles line up in the morning to drop students off at the front door. The congestion is annoying and dangerous.

In a letter to the editor earlier this summer, Kim McCallister suggested that because of this congestion we should not allow bicycle lanes near Eastview or St. Thomas Aquinas. In another letter, Jim Dawson complained that a bicycle lane going by Aspen Heights would prevent him from parking in front of his house.

LETTER TO EDITOR

Consider the alternative. Imagine a world where students arrive at their school on their bicycles.

Consider what would happen if we took away all of those cars and made it possible for children to arrive at school under their own steam.

When did it all change that kids were no longer able to ride bicycles to school? What logic led parents to believe they were doing the right thing for their children by chauffeuring them everywhere?

There are many benefits to arriving at school on a bicycle. First, it gives the kids a little power and independence. They can stop and chat with friends for a moment, as children tend to do, without holding up a whole line of parents sitting patiently, or not so patiently, in their idling vehicles.

Second, it gives the kids some much-needed exercise on a daily basis. Suffice to say that the lack of exercise for children in our society has created great concern for our health-care professionals.

A third reason is that we are

teaching our children a way of life that can have surprising repercussions down the road. Many high school students drop out of school because they are too busy making enough money to pay for the insurance on the car that they need, ironically, to drive to school.

The City of Red Deer proposes to put in bike lanes to encourage children to ride their bikes to school.

Presumably, if kids are riding their bikes to school, then parents are not driving them. That will lessen the congestion and make everyone safer.

Something has gone terribly wrong when parents are vigorously opposing children going to school on their bicycles.

The vision of building a culture where students ride their bikes to school should not be sabotaged by helicopter parents or by citizens who don’t want to find a better place to park than in a bike lane.

John Johnston is president of the Red Deer Association for Bicycle Commuting and a member of the city’s bike lanes steering committee.

and strength of grassroots’ workers, of crowded shelters and housing initiatives, and of the community’s involvement in this most serious problem is a work well done.

I would have liked to have read some comment of government policy, which favours the market and private landlords over affordable and public housing.

In line with the prejudices of the English Poor Laws, the poor are still

blamed for being poor.

The homeless have human faces with cruel histories and deep scars.

Homeless and homelessness are social, economic and political concerns.

The City of Red Deer’s initiatives in trying to end homelessness are likely to influence social policy across Canada.

Harper, Merkel agree trade deal needed

BODY DUMPED

Assessment ordered for man accused of killing girlfriend

BUT GERMANY URGES CANADA TO WORK ON REDUCING CARBON EMISSIONS

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Angela Merkel gave Stephen Harper what he wanted — strong public support for a Canada-European Union trade deal — but not before she gently but firmly noted “problems” with high carbon emissions from Alberta’s oilsands.

Merkel’s pointed observations about the need to reduce Canadian carbon emissions did not overshadow what was a genuinely warm 24-hour visit, spread over two days, in which a pair of likeminded politicians found much common ground.

But it did underscore the gap between Merkel and Harper on the key issue of the environment.

Merkel backed Harper’s desire for a Canada-European Union pact by year’s end, by pledging to push for a “speedy conclusion” to the negotiations when she returns home. She’s only one of 27 political leaders in the EU, but as its most powerful politician, her voice will be heard.

Harper and Merkel made it clear they won’t play tit-for-tat when it comes to finding solutions to global economic woes, particularly in Europe.

They agreed a free-trade deal with the EU isn’t dependent on Canada spending money to support a bailout by the International Monetary Fund.

Canada’s firm opposition to contributing to the fund had drawn the ire of some European leaders. Merkel praised Harper’s stewardship of the Canadian economy in the recent years of the recession.

“I think Canada is an example for how one can actually emerge from a crisis in a robust way,” she said.

“You have a free trade system.

You have a sound budgetary policy and you have quite strict rules as to the banking sector. If you

Canadian Prime Minster Stephen Harper and German Chancellor Angela Merkel appear at a joint news conference, in Ottawa, Thursday. look at the last economic crisis ...

Canada has weathered this quite well. So there’s something we can learn.”

Harper repeatedly praised Merkel for her political and economic leadership, even though his government — including his finance minister only a day earlier — repeatedly criticizes Europe for not doing enough to tackle its economic woes.

Harper conspicuously declined to pile on at their joint press conference: “Any advice I have to give on particulars, I’ll obviously give privately.”

When asked about her views on carbon emissions in Alberta’s oilsands, Merkel chose her words carefully, but did not hold back.

She said she and Harper discussed the issue, including the EU’s upcoming plan to adopt a fuel quality directive.

Canada says the directive would unfairly label crude derived from oilsands as dirty oil, and has lobbied hard for two years to block it.

The European Commission is conducting an impact assessment before the matter comes to a vote next year, an assessment Merkel backed.

“We obviously think that we need to do everything we can to reduce CO2 emissions as best we can, but we are also familiar with the problems that are there with respect to the oilsands,” said Merkel, a one-time environment minister and quantum chemist.

“It doesn’t mean, however, that any other extraction of natural gas is free of CO2 emissions ...

One has to give a solid scientific foundation to this and Germany will come out strongly in favour of this.”

KAMLOOPS, B.C. — An Edmonton man who admitted in court he killed his former girlfriend, slashed an undercover police officer and stabbed a fellow jail inmate because he was being threatened by serial killers will undergo a psychiatric assessment.

Judge Dev Dley of the B.C. Supreme Court ordered the assessment for Mark Lindsay, who is on trial in Kamloops for assaulting the undercover police officer in B.C. Lindsay is also charged with second-degree murder in the killing of 31-year-old Dana Turner last year and with assault for stabbing a prisoner in the eye during a game of Scrabble at a B.C. jail.

On Wednesday, Lindsay told the court he killed Turner because he believed she was a serial killer and his life was in danger.

He testified a group of serial killers was after him over false allegations that he sexually assaulted one of their friends and they spoke to him in person, on his cell phone and by psychic means.

Lindsay said he killed Turner in a panic before dumping her body, which was found last October in a field near Innisfail.

His lawyer, Don Campbell, said Thursday the judge ordered the assessment to help determine if Lindsay is not criminally responsible for his actions because of a mental disorder.

“There were explanations that obviously the judge, in his opinion, felt were capable of raising a concern — a report of a conspiracy that had been going on for a number of years that involved serial killers chasing Mr. Lindsay, a number of phone calls that were threatening, psychic communication that raised some concern,” he said.

The 30-day psychiatric assessment will be conducted in Metro Vancouver.

However, Campbell said Lindsay will appear in court next week on the assault charge involving another prisoner at the Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre last fall.

Lindsay is the son of former Edmonton Police chief John Lindsay.

Carbon emissions in U.S. drop to 20-year low

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PITTSBURGH — The amount of carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere in the U.S. has fallen dramatically to its lowest level in 20 years, and government officials say the biggest reason is that cheap and plentiful natural gas has led many power plant operators to switch from dirtier-burning coal.

Many of the world’s leading climate scientists didn’t see the drop coming, in large part because it happened as a result of market forces rather than direct government action against carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas that traps heat in the atmosphere.

Michael Mann, director of the Earth System Science Center at Penn State University, said the shift away from coal is reason for “cautious optimism” about potential ways to deal with climate change.

He said it demonstrates that “ultimately people follow their wallets” on global warming.

“There’s a very clear les-

lus Shale and in Texas, Arkansas and Louisiana has caused the wholesale price of natural gas to plummet from $7 or $8 per unit to about $3 over the past four years, making it cheaper to burn than coal for a given amount of energy produced.

As a result, utilities are relying more than ever on gasfired generating plants.

Both government and industry experts said the biggest surprise is how quickly the electric industry turned away from coal.

In 2005, coal was used to produce about half of all the electricity generated in the U.S. The Energy Information Agency said that fell to 34 per cent in March, the lowest level since it began keeping records nearly 40 years ago.

The question is whether the shift is just one bright spot in a big, gloomy picture, or a potentially larger trend.

Coal and energy use are still growing rapidly in other countries, particularly China, and CO2 levels globally are

son here. What it shows is that if you make a cleaner energy source cheaper, you will displace dirtier sources,” said Roger Pielke Jr., a climate expert at the University of Colorado.

In a little-noticed technical report, the U.S. Energy Information Agency, a part of the Energy Department, said this month that energy related U.S. CO2 emissions for the first four months of this year fell to about 1992 levels. Energy emissions make up about 98 per cent of the total.

The Associated Press contacted environmental experts, scientists and utility companies and learned that virtually everyone believes the shift could have major long-term implications for U.S. energy policy.

While conservation efforts, the lagging economy and greater use of renewable energy are factors in the CO2 decline, the drop-off is due mainly to lowpriced natural gas, the agency said.

A frenzy of shale gas drilling in the Northeast’s Marcel-

total. The U.S. accounted for approximately 16 per cent.

Mann called it “ironic” that the shift from coal to gas has helped bring the U.S. closer to meeting some of the greenhouse gas targets in the 1997 Kyoto treaty on global warming, which the United States never ratified.

Even with such questions, public health experts welcome the shift, since it is reducing air pollution.

“The trend is good. We like it. We are pleased that we’re shifting away from one of the dirtiest sources to one that’s much cleaner,” said Janice Nolen, an American Lung Association spokeswoman.

“It’s been a real surprise to see this kind of shift. We certainly didn’t predict it.”

Power plants that burn coal produce more than 90 times as much sulfur dioxide, five times as much nitrogen oxide and twice as much carbon dioxide as those that run on natural gas, according to the Government Accountability Office, the investigative arm of Congress.

rising, not falling. Moreover, changes in the marketplace — a boom in the economy, a fall in coal prices, a rise in natural gas — could stall or even reverse the shift. For example, U.S. emissions fell in 2008 and 2009, then rose in 2010 before falling again last year.

Also, while natural gas burns cleaner than coal, it still emits some CO2. And drilling has its own environmental consequences, which are not yet fully understood.

“Natural gas is not a longterm solution to the CO2 problem,” Pielke warned.

The International Energy Agency said the U.S. has cut carbon dioxide emissions more than any other country over the last six years.

Total U.S. carbon emissions from energy consumption peaked at about 6 billion metric tons in 2007. Projections for this year are around 5.2 billion, and the 1990 figure was about 5 billion.

China’s emissions were estimated to be about 9 billion tons in 2011, accounting for about 29 per cent of the global

Facing an escalating civil war in Syria, the Security Council decided Thursday to end the U.N. military observer mission that was sent to monitor a cease-fire that never happened and back a small new liaison office that will support any future peace efforts.

Members who have been deeply divided on tackling the 18-month conflict were united behind U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon’s proposal to replace the 300 unarmed observers with a small group of military advisers and political, human rights and civil affair experts, France’s U.N. Ambassador Gerard Araud, the current Security Council president, announced.

The council agreed that conditions set for possibly extending the observer mission — a significant reduction in violence and an end to the Syrian government’s use of heavy weapons — had not been met and its mandate would end Sunday, he said.

Araud said it was essential politically to have all 15 members on the divided council agree to approve the new liaison office, especially in light of the seriousness of the crisis which the U.N. says has killed at least 18,000 people.

“What is the most important is there will be a U.N. presence, and we hope useful U.N. presence,” he said.

In a surprise followup, Russia’s U.N. Ambassador Vitaly Churkin invited U.N. ambassadors from key nations and international organizations who agreed on guidelines for a Syrianled political transition in Geneva in June to a meeting at U.N. headquarters Friday to press for action.

The Security Council initially authorized the observer mission to deploy to Syria for 90 days to monitor implementation of a six-point peace plan brokered by U.N.Arab League envoy Kofi Annan.

The plan was to start with a cease-fire and withdrawal of the government’s heavy weapons and culminate with Syrian-led political talks.

Assad’s government and opposition forces agreed to the plan, but it was never implemented.

Churkin, whose country is the most important ally of Syrian President Bashar Assad, told reporters he wants the Geneva action group — along with Iran and Saudi Arabia, who are not members — to make “a joint or parallel appeal to all the parties of the Syrian conflict that they end violence as soon as possible by a certain point in time.”

Grievance over mandatory Raccoon skirt highlights issues chases facing female Mounties woman, dogs

BY DENE MOORE THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER — Amid allegations of discrimination and sexual harassment, the RCMP brass have recently made at least one change that will please female officers — the force is now allowing women to wear pants and boots with all their formal uniforms.

It’s been almost a decade since an unnamed female officer filed a grievance because she was denied boots and pants to wear with her formal Walking Out Order, instead of a skirt and leather pumps.

“The grievor is a female member of the force with 17 years of experience,” says a file the RCMP External Review Committee provided to The Canadian Press.

That request dragged on with no resolution.

In January 2003, she submitted a requisition for a pair of boots for the dress uniform that members of the force can wear to social functions.

The following month, her request was denied with an explanation that boots and spurs were not an approved order of dress for female members, whose Walking Out Order is comprised of a long blue skirt and black leather pumps.

“She felt that the dress policy was discriminatory since it differentiated between male and female members.

In her view, the policy was outdated and needed to be modernized.

Moreover, she added that wear-

‘WHY DOES THE FORCE NOT PERMIT FEMALE MEMBERS TO CHOOSE BETWEEN THE MALE AND FEMALE WALKING OUT ORDERS?’

ATTACK IN DOWNTOWN VANCOUVER

— EXTERNAL REVIEW COMMITTEE CHAIRWOMAN CATHERINE EBBS ing skirts was not part of her lifestyle,” says the review committee summary.

Her complaint was twice denied on the grounds that she was aware upon her graduation from RCMP training of the uniform requirements and should have filed her grievance then.

The External Review Committee disagreed with that, but found her case still did not constitute discrimination under the law.

“The mere fact of having different Walking Out Orders for male and female members is not prohibited by the Canadian Human Rights Act,” the committee wrote to the RCMP commissioner, with whom the final decision rests.

However, the report signed by committee chairwoman Catherine Ebbs said the grievance raises a reasonable question.

“Why does the force not permit female members to choose between the male and female Walking Out Orders?” she asked in the report dated Feb. 9, 2011.

The commissioner has not made a decision in the case, and while the official uniform regulations still require a skirt for female officers in Walking Out Order, a spokesman for the force said woman can now get pants and

boots on request.

Staff-Sgt. Maj. Sylvain L’heureux said among the problems was that the pants and boots are expensive, difficult to source and only available in men’s sizes.

But the grievance prompted a discussion of the issue, and the decision was taken recently that women who request the pants should be accommodated.

He did not know the specific date that decision was made — “It’s fairly recent” — and it will take some time for the adjustment to be incorporated into the dress manual.

“Where we stand is that it was recommended that we should approve that for females,” said L’heureux, who is responsible for dress and deportment for the RCMP in Quebec.

“If they want to wear them, they’re going to be men’s boots.”

The RCMP uniform is a national icon, the image of the Mountie in red serge is synonymous with the True North.

While the first female officers were sworn in on Sept. 16, 1974, it wasn’t until 1990 that they were officially allowed to wear pants and boots with their red serge dress uniforms.

Police search for more body parts after finding head, foot in river near Toronto MISSISSAUGA, Ont. — The gruesome discovery of a woman’s head and a severed human foot in the river of a suburban park had police scouring the water, parklands and surrounding rocky hills Thursday in search of more body parts.

The foot also appears to belong to a female, as the toenails were painted yellow, police said, but until pathology tests are done investigators cannot say if both the head and the foot are from the same person.

“Without a cause of death we can’t call it homicide, but certainly foul play — there’s definitely something amiss,” said Peel Regional Police Acting Insp. Randy Cowan.

The size of the body

SENIOR LIVING In concert with your life

parts do not suggest they are from a child, Cowan said.

A group of hikers found the bare right foot severed from the ankle down Wednesday in the Credit River near Hewick Meadows Park, a

popular spot for family walks in the quiet residential neighbourhood.

The police marine unit found the head Thursday.

“It’s a grim discovery any time we get these calls,” Cowan said.

VANCOUVER — Blanca Blandon was asleep in her boyfriend’s downtown Vancouver apartment when she was awakened by blood-curdling screams outside.

She ran out to the street to investigate the commotion, where she saw a large raccoon attacking a woman and her two small dogs.

“It went after the woman’s dogs, trying to attack them, and it jumped up on the woman’s leg, scratching her,” Blandon, 21, recalled in an interview Thursday, a day after the late-night animal attack.

“She was sprinting and screaming. This raccoon was just psycho.”

The unidentified woman was walking her dogs around 10:30 p.m. on Wednesday in the city’s Coal Harbour district, not far from Stanley Park, when she encountered the aggressive animal.

Raccoons are common in Vancouver, few places more so than in Stanley Park and the surrounding areas. However, conservation experts say attacks are rare, particularly cases in which the animal hasn’t been provoked.

The woman’s screams attracted the attention of onlookers, who attempted to scare off the animal by yelling at it and shooing it away.

Witnesses said the raccoon chased the woman for several minutes before someone managed to scare it off.

“The bystanders, some of them were running behind the woman and yelling at the raccoon,” said Blandon.

“Most people were just trying to make noise to scare it away.”

The woman and at least one of her dogs sustained minor injuries, police said. She was taken to hospital for a tetanus shot.

The province’s conservation officer service was looking into what happened.

Sara Dubois, of the B.C. SPCA said raccoon attacks are rare. When they do occur, they usually involve members of the public attempting to hand-feed the animals.

“This might be the only time I’ve heard of a physical attack that was so aggressive in my time working with the SPCA,” said Dubois.

“Often, a raccoon that was provoked, especially with a litter, it might show aggressive tendencies, but not actually make contact with people. But this, an unprovoked attack like that, is very rare.”

Dubois noted the raccoon population in B.C. does not have rabies.

She said the case underscores the need not to feed raccoons and other wild animals — not only for their safety, but for the public’s, too — and to be wary when approaching them.

Elliott leads Bombers to victory

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

WAYNE SIMMONDS

SIMMONDS EXTENDED BY PHILLY After bringing grit and scoring punch in his first season in Philadelphia, the Flyers rewarded forward Wayne Simmonds with a six-year contract extension on Thursday.

Simmonds was an instant fan favourite after coming over from the Los Angeles Kings in a trade for Mike Richards. The 23-yearold Simmonds had career highs with 28 goals and 49 points.

“I don’t feel pressure, but obviously I’m going to go out there, and work as hard as I can every day whether it’s on the ice or off the ice,” Simmonds said.

He has no regrets about missing out on the Kings’ Stanley Cup win and said he doesn’t look back and is only focused on helping lead the Flyers to their first championship since 1975.

“I think it’s been a great place for me,” he said. “I signed this extension just hoping that we could bring a Stanley Cup to Philadelphia. I just want to be another piece of the puzzle. I think we have a great young core put in place. Obviously this is where I want to be for a long time.”

Blue Bombers 32 Tiger-Cats 25 WINNIPEG — Quarterback Joey Elliott led the Winnipeg Blue Bombers to just their second win of the season Thursday, making the Hamilton Tiger-Cats pay for their six turnovers in a 32-25 victory.

“I was glad to get the ball,” Elliott said of his noticeably stronger second-half performance. “As a quarterback, in the second half, once you kind of figure what they’re doing, you kind of what to get down the field and get in the groove.”

It was only Elliott’s third start at quarterback since he put on a Bomber uniform three seasons ago.

“He made great decisions,” said Winnipeg head coach Paul LaPolice.

“He didn’t throw a turnover. He didn’t have an interception or a fumble.”

He said the win is important in many ways for the Bombers, who now sit at 2-5.

“It allows us to keep pace with everybody else in the league ... More than anything, it’s a lift for our guys.”

Rookie running back Will Ford, a recent addition to the Bombers roster, scored the winning touchdown with less than two minutes left in the game.

The Ticats, now 3-4, went into the game hoping to gain ground on their East Division rivals but couldn’t overcome the six turnovers.

Uneasiness grows in NHL labour dispute

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — The first tense moments of the NHL’s collective bargaining negotiations have arrived.

With Gary Bettman and Donald Fehr not scheduled to sit across from one another until the middle of next week and the sides unable to even agree on the core issues that need to be addressed, a sense of uneasiness has suddenly enveloped the talks.

After Wednesday’s session, in which the NHL dismissed the union’s initial proposal, Fehr set off for pre-scheduled player meetings in Chicago. The union boss will also oversee a session with players in Kelowna, B.C., before returning to Toronto and resuming CBA discussions on Aug. 22.

At that point, the league and the NHL Players’ Association will have just 24 days left to reach a new agreement and avoid a lockout.

But where do they start?

There is very little common ground between the proposals each side has put forth and neither seems particularly willing to move off its current position.

“What the issues are and how they get solved and how deep the issues go are something that we’re not yet on the same page,” Bettman said Wednesday.

Meanwhile, the hockey world re-

The Detroit Red Wings announced Thursday that they’re cancelling their annual September prospects tournament in Traverse City, Mich., due to the “uncertainty” surrounding the CBA. Eight teams had been scheduled to participate.

“We have determined that it is in everyone’s best interest to cancel this year’s tournament,” Red Wings GM Ken Holland said in a statement.

NHLPA ‘disappointed’ after proposal rejected

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — One day after hearing NHL commissioner Gary Bettman say a “wide gap” remained in collective bargaining negotiations, players were still upset the owners quickly dismissed their initial proposal this week.

“The industry’s grown a billion dollars since (the lockout) and basically they just want more money,” Chris Campoli, a member of the NHLPA’s negotiating committee, said Thursday.

“I thought in our proposal we made a step and considerable concessions to them,” he added.

“Frankly, it was a little disappointing to see the response yesterday and the view they have on it.”

Campoli was one of three NHL players who took part in Thursday’s sub-committee meetings, which covered secondary issues not related to the economic ones that have divided the sides.

An unrestricted free agent who spent last season in Montreal, Campoli has emerged as one of the strongest voices among the players. The veteran defenceman has attended six bargaining sessions this summer and was hopeful that Tuesday’s NHLPA proposal might kickstart negotiations.

The players offered to keep a hard salary cap and put a drag on their salaries in exchange for an expanded revenue-sharing system — but Bettman and the owners weren’t in favour of it.

Campoli said he thought it was a much more reasonable offer than the one put forward by the NHL last month, which called for a 24 per cent reduction in salaries and included new contract restrictions.

“I just think they took such an aggressive stance with their first proposal,” said Campoli. “We could have taken an aggressive stance the other way and we didn’t. You know, we want to fix the systematic issues they have with the way things are run and I think we’re being more than fair.”

would at least build the foundation for a debate about Jyles.

He has used most of his receiver options to great advantage over the past few games, including future Hall of Famer Fred Stamps and second year Canadian Nate Coehoorn.

Edmonton should win this game and keep their unbeaten home streak intact, but never bet against Anthony Calvillo, so I will go with Montreal in this one.

Toronto heads west to Calgary without the league’s leading rusher on the team plane.

Calgary has played pretty solid football since the injury to starting quarterback Drew Tate. Kevin Glenn has provided enough ability to keep the Stamps in the hunt for success in the tough CFL West Division.

Last game also produced a timely return to form for talented Canadian tailback Jon

Cornish after the he called out his O-line following the previous game.

Toronto pivot Ricky Ray is still learning how to steer the Argonauts through dangerous waters behind a shaky O-line and his last game against Montreal was a complete disaster.

However he now has a tailback that’s willing to provide a block or two during a pass play after the sudden departure of Cory Boyd. Replacement running back Chad Kackert will also add a pass threat out of the backfield.

The Argonaut defense has two former Stamps on their roster and one would believe that ex-Calgary linebackers Robert McCune and Brandon Isaac will want to make a statement against the team that tossed them out the door.

Boxing keeping competitive juices flowing RED DEER’S DALE BELCHER FOUND A LOVE FOR THE SPORT AT 42 YEARS-OLD AND KEEPS GOING STRONG AT 46 many as I can and have some fun,” he said.

Belcher also wants to continue boxing as long as he can.

“There were guys in their upper 50s in Kansas City. I imagine I’ll slow down, so I’ll try to compete as much as I can in the next few years. But I don’t think I’ll stop competing and will definitely continue to go to the Ringside tournament.

“There are a lot of things to keep me going and a lot of new adventures.”

Belcher hopes to stay in the subnovice division in the province, but may have to move up to the open class, which means three three-minute rounds instead of three two-minute rounds, plus he’ll face better and younger competition.

“We’ll have to see what happens and cross that road if it happens,” he said.

One thing Belcher will have is strong support from Jon and Jeremy Blocksom, his bosses at Waste Co. “They couldn’t be more supportive financially as well as giving me time off and sponsorship,” he said. “It’s nice in that when I’m away they’ll call and want to know how things are. They’re like family.”

Belcher, who has a 7-3 record and a silver medal at the Bronze Gloves two years ago, believes his jab is the strongest part of his offence. He’s also a lot more comfortable when he takes to the ring.

“I don’t get worked up or worried near as much,” he said. “It’s a competition of skill, not something you do in anger. The first fight I was so anxious, which I don’t have now. I’m a lot calmer.”

But despite being in shape for close to six years Belcher still keeps a reminder of his old days.

“I carry a picture in my gym bag as a reminder of what I was and what I’ve become. And it gets a laugh out of the guys.” drode@reddeeradvocate.com

AWARDED THE HIGHEST GOVERNMENT CRASH SAFETY RATINGʆ U.S. NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION

Raonic moves on to quarters THE CANADIAN PRESS CINCINNATI, Ohio — Canadian Milos Raonic put on another serving display at the Western & Southern Open on Thursday, beating Czech fifth seed Tomas Berdych 6-4, 2-6, 6-2 to reach the quarter-finals of the Masters 1000 event.

The Thornhill, Ont., native hit 20 aces in just under two hours against the 2010 Wimbledon finalist, notching 33 winners and breaking Berdych three times.

Raonic, ranked 19th, now plays Switzerland’s Stanislas Wawrinka, who beat Japan’s Kei Nishikori 6-3, 6-3. He won Thursday’s opening set on a break in the ninth game but couldn’t maintain momentum as Berdych stormed back in the second.

The Canadian woke up in the third, breaking Berdych twice to claim his 33rd of the season against 13 defeats.

Getting into cross-fit training accomplished what Dale Belcher wanted, as he got into better shape, but there was something missing as he longed to be involved in some sort of competition.

That’s where boxing came in.

“I was working out at Pure Fitness and there was a poster for the Rumble in Red Deer, a white collar event, and I thought it would be interesting and I signed up,” he explained. “I was in pretty good shape by that time and I wanted to get into something, but there wasn’t anything for my age (42), so I felt the Rumble was something I could try.

B4 RED DEER ADVOCATE Friday, Aug. 17, 2012

MVP looked sharp in loss NFL PRESEASON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Browns 35 Packers 10 GREEN BAY, Wis. — Rookie quarterback Brandon Weeden showed improvement in his second preseason game, avoiding major mistakes as the Cleveland Browns beat the Green Bay Packers 35-10 at Lambeau Field on Thursday night.

Aaron Rodgers looked sharp in limited action, but backup quarterback Graham Harrell was shaky for the Packers.

Weeden, a first-round pick out of Oklahoma State who already has been chosen the Browns’ starter, played the first half and was 12 of 20 for 118 yards.

Browns kicker Phil Dawson hit three field goals, including a pair from 50-plus yards. Dawson missed a 56-yarder just before halftime for Cleveland (No. 30 in the AP Pro32).

Rodgers threw a 20-yard touchdown to Jordy Nelson on his first series for the Packers (No. 1).

The reigning NFL MVP stayed in for two more series, completing 6 of 11 passes for 59 yards. He also had a 21-yard scramble and took a hard hit on another rushing attempt.

Bengals 24, Falcons 19 ATLANTA (AP) — Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton and the Falcons’ Matt Ryan each directed a pair of scoring drives before Cincinnati’s reserves held on.

In a matchup of teams that lost in the wild-card round of the playoffs last season, Cincinnati (No. 14 in the AP Pro32) had the deeper roster. The secondand third-string players for Atlanta (No. 13) struggled in the second half for the second straight week.

Ryan, who completed his first 11 attempts, finished 18 of 21 for 174 yards and one touchdown, a 2-yard screen to reserve fullback Lousaka Polite in the second quarter.

Spreading out the offence and connecting with nine receivers, Ryan completed passes of at least 20 yards to Roddy White, Tony Gonzalez, Julio Jones and Michael Palmer.

Dalton was 8 of 14 for 125 yards and one TD, a 50-yard pass that star receiver A.J. Green caught while running past cornerback Asante Samuel down the right sideline.

STORIES FROM B1

BOMBERS: Fumbles “The fumbles did it,” said dejected Hamilton quarterback Henry Burris. “I had three fumbles on the day, one that should have been a touchdown.

That was the deciding factor, I’ve got to protect the ball better.“ Hamilton coach George Cortez didn’t disagree, although he dismissed any suggestion he would go with someone other than Burris, who the Ticats picked up in a trade with Calgary.

“When you turn the ball over you don’t have many chances to win,” he said. “We were not taking care of the ball when we had people around us, it’s that simple.”

The Bombers started slowly again, putting only a single point on the board in the first quarter. It’s something LaPolice said they have to address.

And it was the veteran Burris who took command early, scoring a touchdown on his first drive with a 37-yard pass to Chris Williams.

The Bombers only point in the first quarter came on a single from a missed 49-yard field goal by Justin Palardy.

Williams scored a second touchdown in the second quarter on a punt return but Palardy kept the Bombers in the game with two field goals to end it 14-10 for Hamilton.

He added another in the third.

Hamilton’s Luca Congi had one field goal, a 43-yarder in the third.

In the third, Elliott led the Bombers on a four-play 78-yard drive to their first touchdown with a handoff to Chad Simpson, tying the game at 17-17.

Winnipeg finally took the lead in the fourth when Elliott connected with Chris Matthews for the Bombers’ second touchdown and it was 25-17 after the convert.

But Burris came back with an 84-yard pass to Williams for his third touchdown of the night then Aaron Kelly added a twopoint convert to tie the game again.

The Bombers replied on the next drive with Ford’s touchdown, after Simpson was injured and left the field.

It was the first home game of the season that wasn’t a sellout for the Bombers, although more than 27,000 showed up.

A couple of veterans in the secondary were happy they helped create game-winning turnovers but not as happy they allowed some big plays as well.

“If you can create turnovers more than likely you can win the game,” said Jovon Johnson, who recovered one of the Burris fumbles on Hamilton’s last play of the third quarter. “We also gave up some big ones so we’re going back to the drawing board,” said Jonathan Hefney.

LABOUR: Pay less Sub-committees from the league and union gathered Thursday to discuss noncore economic issues such as travel, ice conditions and training camp. Both sides seemed encouraged about the status of those talks, but as deputy commissioner Bill Daly pointed out: “I don’t think that’s where this CBA is going to get cut or not.”

In simple terms, the owners want to pay players less — much less. Despite the fact the NHL’s revenues grew from $2.2 billion before the 2004-05 lockout to $3.3 billion last season, a number of teams are still struggling.

The financial success of the wealthiest franchises over the last seven years ended up hurting the poorer ones.

That’s because the salary cap was tied to overall hockey-related revenues and rose dramatically from $39 million in 2005-06 to $64.3 million last season, bringing the salary floor (the minimum teams must spend) up along with it. If next season was played

under the current system, the cap would have been set at $70.2 million and the floor would have been $54.2 million.

However, a new deal needs to be put in place before the NHL resumes operations.

Under the proposal put forward by the owners in July, the players’ share in revenue would be cut from 57 per cent to 43 per cent and would include a change to the way the salary cap is calculated. Instead of being set at $8 million above the midpoint (total league revenues divided by 30 teams), the upper limit would be reduced to $4 million above.

As a result, the salary cap would drop to $50.8 million next season, which is below where the floor currently rests.

The league also called for the elimination of salary arbitration, contract limits of five years (with equal money paid each year, essentially eliminating signing bonuses) and 10 years of service before unrestricted free agency kicks in. All of those proposed changes are designed to slow the increase in salaries.

The NHLPA estimated the league’s proposal would cost players approximately $450 million per season.

Rather than making a direct counter-offer, Fehr elected to design his own system.

He attempted to appease owners by keeping the hard salary cap in place and putting a drag on salaries by delinking them from overall revenues, but called for an expanded revenue-sharing plan that would see the wealthy teams distribute more than $250 million per season to the poor.

Under the union’s plan, the salary cap would fall at roughly $69 million next season. It would increase to $71 million in 2013-14 and $75 million in 2014-15.

In other words, the owners would only realize significantly more profit in the deal if the league continued to grow at a level beyond the seven per cent it averaged since the lockout. There’s no guarantee of that, especially since the strength of the Canadian dollar has helped fuel the growth.

The offer is based on the premise that the players would give up revenue for three years — the system would revert back to the current rules in the fourth — so that the NHL could work on getting its struggling teams on stable footing.

“If there are issues remaining, they are club-specific issues,” said Fehr. “And that if the clubs that don’t need assistance are willing to partner with the players to help get at the issues of the clubs that may need it we’re prepared to do that. But it’s not a circumstance in which the players are just going to say ’OK, take everything from us.”’

History is also at play here.

The players are still smarting after being locked out for an entire season in 2004-05 before eventually accepting a 24 per cent rollback on salaries and a salary cap. At the time, Bettman repeatedly talked about the need for “cost certainty” to keep the league healthy — something the union eventually capitulated to. Now in the next round of negotiations, the sides appear to be back where they started and the threat of yet another lockout seems very real. The league is contending the players need to give up a significant amount of salary to stabilize the industry while the union maintains that goal would be best accomplished with the wealthy teams doing more to help their struggling counterparts.

Against that backdrop, the first signs of animosity are beginning to surface.

After talks wrapped up Wednesday, Fehr hinted the NHL was working from a “playbook” that involves using the lockout as a negotiating tactic and called for the owners to present an offer that moved in the players’ direction. Bettman, meanwhile, seemed to suggest that this wasn’t a good time for Fehr to step away from talks and hold regional player meetings.

“Where we go from here is I come back next Wednesday to resume negotiations when the union’s ready,” said Bettman.

Fehr contends that he doesn’t need to be present for talks to continue.

“As we go forward ... what we have to do is sit and negotiate until we get the deal done,” he said. “It doesn’t mean that every single person has to be in the room on every single meeting, but the parties have to be going at it regularly.”

Here’s a look at how the salary cap and salary floor would be impacted by the current CBA along with proposals from the NHL and NHL Players’ Association for the 2012-13 season: Current system Salary cap: $70.2 million Salary floor: $54.2 million NHL’s proposal Salary cap: $50.8 million Salary floor: $38.8 million NHLPA’s proposal (assuming a fixed $16-million gap is kept in place) Salary cap: $69 million Salary floor: $53 million

NHLPA: Ready to start The CBA topic was also raised in Philadelphia, where forward Wayne Simmonds signed a six-year contract extension worth slightly less than $24 million. He’s anxious to see the situation get resolved.

“This is my first time going through this and I’m really not too familiar with the process,” said Simmonds. “But from all the players’ accounts, we want to play. We’re ready to start.”

It’s unclear when they’ll get the chance.

With a Sept. 15 deadline looming for a lockout and the sides still far apart, the league appears to be headed for its second work stoppage in as many negotiations.

“It would be incredible how much it would hurt,” said Campoli. “We don’t want that as players and I think our proposal shows that. We want to get something done, we’re working towards it. The fact that we continually have to talk about this speaks to the issues we really have and the system we’re in and it’s got to change.”

CFL: Calgary should be clear favorite Calgary should be a clear favorite, but I don’t see Ricky Ray playing two brutal games in a row, so I will pick Toronto to get all of its oars moving in the right direction after the departure of Boyd and win this game. Just a hunch based upon better team chemistry without Boyd and Ricky Ray’s talent.

The B.C. Lions will host the Saskatchewan Roughriders in a rematch on Sunday afternoon and it’s very unlikely they’ll be gracious hosts. The Riders are currently riding a three game losing streak and I see little evidence that it will not be a four after the weekend. The Riders have become very generous on defense where their tightest pass coverage is measured by city blocks and their blitz packages are painfully obvious to everybody on the other team, including the water boy.

Many Rider fans like to take the blame spotlight off quarterback Darian Durant and point out that he threw for over 400 yards in his last game, while omitting the fact that a big chunk of those yards came in one incredibly fluky play as well as a short dump pass to Sheets that the Rider tailback turned into a long gain. The play was subsequently tarnished by a time count violation

by Durant that took away field position for the Riders from inside the Edmonton five yard line. Durant also threw two crucial picks late in the game, a factoid that never hits the table when his apologists highlight his game play.

A porous Rider defence and a suspect Rider offence lead me to one conclusion: Lions win big.

U20 team heads to World Cup inspired by bronze medallists WOMEN’S SOCCER THE CANADIAN PRESS Head coach Andrew Olivieri doesn’t need to worry about getting his Canadian team inspired when the women’s under-20 World Cup kicks off this weekend.

The senior team’s bronze-medal performance at the London Olympics has already done that.

Canada will play its first game of the tournament Monday against Argentina in Kobe, Japan.

The squad will no doubt be buoyed by Canada’s first-ever Olympic bronze in women’s soccer, highlighted by Christine Sinclair’s iconic hat trick in a heart-breaking semifinal loss to the heavily favoured United States and the medal-winning game against France.

“I know there’s a lot of people inspired back home, and the first thing I realized when I got to Japan and met up with the players is there’s no need to add to that,” Olivieri said on a conference call Thursday.

“They’re inspired on their own and I don’t need to push any of those buttons. That’s been a great tool for us without having to put any extra work in that area.”

If the under-20 squad wants to emulate the success of the senior team, it will have to get through a tough group. In addition to Argentina, the Canadians are grouped with North Korea, which won the tournament in 2006, and Norway. The top two teams in each group after preliminary play advance to the quarterfinals.

“All three of them are extremely different,” Olivieri said. “Preparing for them is going to take a different focus going into each game.

What we’ve sen from Argentina is a very physical, athletic team. Then you have the Norwegian team which is very organized and disciplined.”

Petterson has early lead at Wyndham

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PGA

GREENSBORO, N.C. — If any member’s bounces went Carl Pettersson’s way Thursday at Sedgefield Country Club, well, there’s a good reason for that.

“That’s right — I am a member,” Pettersson said, laughing. “I forgot.”

Pettersson shot an 8-under 62 to take the first-round lead in the Wyndham Championship.

David Mathis and Tim Clark were a stroke back, Tom Gillis, Scott Stallings and Troy Matteson shot 64, and Matt Every had a 65 in the final event before the FedEx Cup playoffs.

Graham DeLaet of Weyburn, Sask., is tied for 60th with a 1-under 69. David Hearn of Brantford, Ont., shot a 74.

The top of the leaderboard had a decidedly local flavour. Pettersson went to high school in Greensboro and lives in Raleigh, and both he and Clark played at North Carolina State. Mathis grew up in Winston-Salem, played collegiately at Campbell and lives north of Raleigh in the town of Wake Forest.

Pettersson, a Swede who be-

came an American citizen during the off-season, had the best first round of his PGA Tour career and his best round at this event since 2008, when he set the tournament record with a second-round 61 and went on to win in his adopted hometown.

Starting on the back nine, he reeled off consecutive birdies on Nos. 5-8 to move to 8 under. He had a chance to match his record on No. 9, but pushed his 30-foot birdie putt roughly a foot to the right of the hole.

Despite that, it was yet another strong round for Pettersson, who won the RBC Heritage in April and has five top-10 finishes this year.

That included a tie for third at the PGA Championship last week — which would have been a second-place finish had he not been assessed a two-stroke penalty in the final round for grazing a leaf with his backswing while hitting out of a lateral water hazard.

“I think this game is very streaky,” Pettersson said. “We get on a good run, you’ve got to keep going and it seems like when

you’re playing well, you never think you’re going to play bad.

When you’re playing bad, you never think you’re going to play well.”

Pettersson was part of one of the most closely followed threesomes of the day, joining U.S. Open champ Webb Simpson (Wake Forest) and Davis Love III (North Carolina) as previous winners of this tournament who played for schools in the Atlantic Coast Conference — which was founded here in 1953.

They helped make the first round feel a bit like the ACC tournament.

“Playing with two ACC guys, there’s a lot of ’Go Pack!’ and ’Go Heels!”’ Simpson said.

Some of those N.C. State cheers could have been saved for Clark, a star with the Wolfpack in the mid-1990s before Pettersson enrolled. He was bogey-free and had an eagle on the par-5 fifth. He landed his second shot roughly 8 feet from the flagstick and sank the ensuing putt for one of the 11 eagles on that hole.

“I’ve got to keep pace with Carl,” Clark said. “When he goes low, he really goes low. If I’m able to hang in there, it’s going to be a lot of fun.”

White Sox 7 Toronto 2 TORONTO — Lefthander Francisco Liriano allowed three hits over 6 1/3 innings and the Chicago White Sox hit five home runs Thursday to defeat the Toronto Blue Jays 7-2.

It was the third win in a row for the White Sox after losing the opener of the four-game series.

Former Blue Jay Alex Rios hit his 19th homer in the eighth inning against left-hander Darren Oliver to give Chicago a four-run lead.

Blue Jays left-hander Aaron Laffey (3-4) allowed three runs on three hits — home runs

by Dewayne Wise, Dayan Viciedo and Tyler Flowers — in six innings.

Both Blue Jay runs against Liriano (4-10) came on a two-run homer in the second by Moises

Sierra, recently called up from triple-A Las Vegas. Liriano was making his fourth start for the White Sox since he was obtained in a trade with Minnesota on July 28.

His three previous starts were no decisions.

Chicago’s fifth homer of the game was hit by Alexei Ramirez against right-handed reliever Brandon Lyon in the eighth when Chicago scored four times to break up a close game.

Sierra started the scoring for Toronto (55-63) with a two-run homer in the second inning. His second majorleague homer followed a one-out single by David Cooper. But the White Sox (65-52), who lead the American League Central, struck back with their own home runs.

Wise, also a former Blue Jay, hit his fifth of the season with one out in the third.

NORTH PLAINS, Ore. — Suzann Pettersen hopes to make herself right at home again in the Safeway Classic.

A year ago on Pumpkin Ridge’s Ghost Creek Course, the Norwegian star won the last of her eight career LPGA Tour titles, overcoming a nine-stroke deficit with a 7-under 64 and beating Na Yeon Choi with a par on the first hole of a playoff.

The 54-hole tournament, set to begin Friday, is in its fourth year at Pumpkin Ridge after 18 at Columbia Egdewater in Portland. Pettersen tied for second at Pumpkin Ridge in 2009 and tied for fourth in 2010.

“It kind of feels like being back at home. Ever since they moved from Columbia-Edgewater, I’ve done a little better,” Pettersen said. “It’s one of those tracks where you can really get it going.”

The course is set up to help the players get going, with Nos. 8, 9 and 10 all playing as par 5s. Last year, No. 9 played as a 371-yard, par 4. It has been lengthened to 474 yards. Two of the three par 5s are reachable in two shots by many players.

“You can really make a move there,” said secondranked Stacy Lewis, a two-time winner this year who leads the money list with $1,222,479.

Lewis is trying to cut the gap on top-ranked Yani Tseng, the Taiwanese star mired in a slump after winning three times early in the season.

“Yani won so many times last year (seven). It would take a year like Yani had last year to catch her,” Lewis said. “I know I’m getting closer, but she hasn’t been in a slump for a long time.”

In Tseng’s last five starts, she tied for 59th in the LPGA Championship, missed the cut in the NW Arkansas Championship, tied for 50th in the U.S. Women’s Open, and missed the cuts in the Evian Masters and last week in the Jamie Farr Toledo Classic.

“I try everything I can,” Tseng said. “I’m working hard. I just work on location. This week, I feel very good, I feel like the old Yani is getting close and I feel like I need to get started on what I’m here for.

This is a sport I love and there is no way I can be more appreciative than anyone else. I feel that I have a lot of advantage this week and I can do it. Just enjoy more than anybody on the course this week.”

Boyd set for home debut against Als

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — Edmonton Eskimos offensive coordinator Marcus Crandell received a huge gift this week when the CFL’s leading rusher unexpectedly showed up on his roster — but it’s one with complications.

The Eskimos host the Montreal Alouettes on Friday with two of the league’s top rushers at their disposal — Cory Boyd, the CFL’s rushing leader with 447 yards who was surprisingly released by the Toronto Argonauts on Sunday, and incumbent Hugh Charles, who is just 47 yards back.

A week ago, Edmonton had only two healthy running backs in Charles and Canadian Calvin McCarty.

“I can breathe a little easier,” Crandell said with a chuckle. “We were kind of treading water with only two backs on the roster. “(Boyd) gives us a sigh of relief, that security blanket, and brings experience and what he’s done on the field speaks for itself.”

Boyd will make his Edmonton debut against Montreal. Also added to the roster were halfback Ricardo Colclough, linebacker Clint Kent, safety Hugo Lopez and defensive lineman Lee Robinson.

Defensive back Robbie Prude, who left last week’s win over Saskatchewan in an ambulance, is on the

injured list after suffering a stinger against the Roughriders.

Eskimos head coach Kavis Reed said the team has 10-to-15 plays for Boyd.

“Not necessarily running plays but opportunities for him to get in the game and to learn the system,” Reed said.

Predictably, the 27-year-old Boyd says he’s ready, physically, mentally and spiritually to play Friday.

“I’m always ready,” he said. “If you’re not ready then you’re not doing your job.”

Charles said some of those plays will call for both running backs to be on the field at the same time.

“I don’t know if it’s a competition but it’ll be good for both of us to be on and off the field, to rest our bodies,” Charles said. “We have it rough, we hit every play, either running the ball or pass protection.

“I have a good feeling it’s going to work out for the both of us.”

That’s because, Charles said, both players should be rested for the late stages of game, “both in this game and for the whole season.”

The challenge facing Crandell and the Eskimos is figuring out how to get Charles and Boyd enough touches to keep both happy.

“That’s the tougher part,” Crandell said. “That’s for me to deal with and everyone else to just sit back and watch.

“This offence is based on giving everyone an opportunity. If (Boyd) gets in, when he gets in, we don’t treat the game any differently from when Hugh Charles is in.”

Edmonton’s backfield situation could be further complicated if Canadian Jerome Messam returns.

The 27-year-old Toronto native, who grew up in Brampton, Ont., was the CFL’s top Canadian last season but is currently at the Miami Dolphins’ training camp.

The six-foot-four, 248-pound Messam is listed third on Miami’s depth chart at fullback and hasn’t been given many opportunities to play.

“We’ll talk about that when it happens, if it happens,” said Crandell. “For now these are the guys we’re rolling with.”

Charles, 26, who came to the Eskimos as a backup before assuming the starter’s role, isn’t concerned about losing his job.

“I’m not going anywhere ... I’ll still be the featured back,” said the five-foot-eight, 183-pound Charles.

“It’s good we added another guy such as Cory Boyd because our depth at running back is really slim.

“There’s many ways in this offence that we can be utilized together. It’s not a big deal to me. I’m keeping my head up. I don’t feel like I’ve done anything wrong and I’m going to look ahead and keep winning games.”

NFL, officials no closer to Owens ready agreement to end lockout to suit up for

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — Less than three weeks before the season kicks off, the NFL and the NFL Referees Association are no closer to an agreement to end the lockout of the officials.

As replacement officials work preseason games — and generally get criticized for their performances — the league and officials Thursday disputed such issues as full-time employees and adding officiating crews.

On Sept. 5, the Cowboys visit the Giants to open the season. Not since 2001 has the NFL played games that count in the standings with replacement officials, and that was for one week. This lockout began June 3.

The NFL is offering to add three full officiating crews, increasing the total number of officials to 140. League spokesman Greg Aiello said “this would reduce stress on the officials by allowing each official to work fewer games, would reduce travel, would allow us to do more intensive training, integrate younger officials more effectively, increase diversity, and improve quality of officiating.”

“The union flatly opposes this proposal ...” Aiello added.

But the NFLRA insists the com-

pensation being offered with such an increase would reduce their pay.

“The increase in the number of officials was first proposed by the NFL to the NFLRA by letter dated July 19, 2012 and had never been mentioned in the preceding 10 months of negotiations,” the NFLRA said in a statement. “It is clear that this proposal is a negotiating tactic to attempt to divert attention from the real issues.”

Another key issue, one Aiello noted will improve the quality of officiating long term, is hiring full-time officials. The league is proposing having seven officials — one per position of referee, umpire, line judge, side judge, back judge, field judge, head linesman — who would train, scout, handle communications, safety issues and rules interpretations year-round.

Now, all NFL game officials are part-time employees, with outside jobs ranging from lawyer to teacher to business owner.

“The NFLRA is not opposed to full time officials if they are fairly compensated,” the union said Thursday. “While the NFL has never made any compensation proposal, comparable positions in other professional sports at the 20-year level earn approximately $350,000 to $400,000 and are provided health insurance, a pension, time off with pay and numerous

other benefits.”

The union also disputes the value of the league’s current salary offer, which it says would not be a 5 per cent to 11 per cent increase.

Instead, the officials said the proposal “includes aggregate game fee compensation increases of 2.82 per cent per year, not the rates publicly claimed by the league. In fact, the NFL’s proposal does not contain any salary schedule. Rather it contains aggregate game fees for all officials to be paid per a schedule to be developed by the NFLRA.” Aiello countered that officials would receive continuing increases in every category of pay, from game fees to travel and meeting fees, and, depending on how the NFLRA decided to allocate the salary pool, individual officials could expect annual increases of between 5 and 11 per cent.

Finally, there is a stalemate over the officials’ pension plan, which the union said the league plans to freeze and ultimately terminate. The NFLRA offered to “grandfather” the current defined benefit plan only for current officials.

The league is offering a 401(k) plan in which it said its last proposal would provide annual contributions averaging about $20,000.

DT Kelly expects Raiders to have top-five defensive unit in NFL to play in the Raiders season opener Sept. 10 but acknowledged time is starting to run out.

All of Oakland’s starters will take increased reps against Arizona, a normal progression for NFL teams in the preseason.

Kelly, for one, is looking forward to it.

After missing the offseason workouts last season because of the lockout, the 31-year-old spent the year battling a variety of nagging injuries yet still had a career-high 7 ½ sacks and recorded his first NFL interception.

“It was always hurryup mode,” he said. “Going the whole off-season without any contact I had more problems with my body last year than I ever had in my career.

But I made it through the year, so that’s all that matters.”

Keeping Kelly healthy is critical for the Raiders this season.

He hasn’t missed a

game since suffering a season-ending knee injury midway through the 2007 season and is the longest-tenured player along Oakland’s defensive line.

The numbers suggest Kelly is only getting better. He has 14 ½ sacks over the past two seasons and has averaged nearly 53 tackles a year since his injury-shortened season in ’07.

In the Raiders new defensive system, Kelly will be used at a variety of positions. He will line up primarily at tackle in Oakland’s 4-3 scheme but will also move up and down the line.

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS RENTON, Wash. — Peyton Manning’s debut in Denver won’t hog all the attention. Terrell Owens will be taking some himself.

Owens will make his return to the NFL when the Seattle Seahawks play the Broncos on Saturday night. Seattle coach Pete Carroll didn’t give specifics on how many snaps Owens will get in the second preseason game for the Seahawks, but he did say it would be early in the game.

“I’m not going to tell you how many plays it will be,” Carroll said. “We’ll see how it goes.”

Owens joined the Seahawks (No. 22 in the AP Pro32) on Aug. 6 and had just a couple of days of practice before the preseason opener against Tennessee. Carroll said he didn’t think it was fair to run Owens out there that quickly, but feels he’s ready after two weeks of work.

Owens arrived in camp in excellent shape and has looked impressive at times during practice. But if he’s to make the Seahawks’ final roster, Owens will need to show in a game that he’s fully recovered from a knee injury that kept him out of the NFL for the entire 2011 season.

Saturday against the Broncos will be his first NFL game action since Week 15 of the 2010 season with Cincinnati. Owens went without a catch in that final game against Cleveland.

“He’s ready to go,” Carroll said. “He had two good weeks of work, and he came in in great shape so he’s ready to go.”

The game against Denver will also be the first chance for Carroll to get a look at most of his receivers and try to figure out what has become a jumbled position. The arrival of Owens and Braylon Edwards added to a corps that included Sidney Rice, Doug Baldwin, Golden Tate, Ben Obomanu, Deon Butler and Ricardo Lockette.

Carroll and the Seahawks coaching staff must decide how many of those receivers to keep and whether holding on to veterans Owens and Edwards would trump giving shots to younger players like Butler, Lockette and others.

Additionally, there is the concern about Rice’s health. Rice is coming off surgeries on both shoulders over the winter. He was cleared earlier this week for full practice after being stuck in a red nocontact jersey for the first two weeks, but won’t play against the Broncos.

Owens has been working at the flanker position in the Seahawks offence behind Rice. Edwards has been mostly with the No. 2 offence at split end behind Tate.

“I like our group a lot, and we’ve become even more competitive and more experienced with the guys that will come in to add to it,” Carroll said.

“We’re just going to wait. We don’t have to do anything right now. We just keep giving these guys turns in practice and get familiar and comfortable with them and also see them in the games, and add it all up together at the end. It’s a really good position group for us right now.”

Notes: Seattle signed OL Kris O’Dowd on Thursday to add depth on the offensive line after Lemuel Jeanpierre was slowed by a groin injury and John Moffitt had surgery on his elbow. Seattle released K Carson Wiggs to clear a roster spot.

NAPA, Calif. — Tommy Kelly needed only one preseason game to become convinced Oakland’s defence is already vastly improved from a year ago.

The veteran defensive tackle has fully embraced the changes made by first-year coach Dennis Allen and defensive co-ordinator Jason Tarver and said he expects the Raiders (tied for No. 23 in the AP Pro32) to have one of the top five defences in the NFL in 2012.

“Most definitely,” Kelly said following practice Thursday. “(If) we cut down on the mental errors and the penalties, man, people are going to have a hard time dealing with us.”

That might be asking a bit much from a team that ranked 29th in overall defence and surrendered the secondmost touchdowns in the league last season.

Then again, Kelly has been defying odds since he entered the NFL as an undrafted rookie in 2004.

A Pro Bowl alternate each of the past two seasons, Kelly has developed into a player who Allen believes can be one of the game’s premier defensive tackles.

Allen is counting on the 6-foot-6, 300-pounder to help anchor Oakland’s front four.

The Raiders’ firstteam defence got off to an encouraging start in the 3-0 loss to Dallas on Monday, allowing only three yards rushing in two series.

Kelly also sacked quarterback Tony Romo for a 12-yard loss to

force the Cowboys into a third-and-24 before they punted.

A small sampling, to be sure, but Kelly likes what he’s seen so far.

“It’s the first time in nine years we ever looked that good tackling in the first game of the preseason,” Kelly said.

“So whatever they’re doing must be working. We look a lot better.”

The Raiders play in Arizona on Friday, their second preseason game in five days, but will be without starting free safety Michael Huff, who will be attending the birth of his first child.

Oakland will also be minus outside linebacker Aaron Curry, who has been in Los Angeles for nearly a week undergoing treatment on his knees.

Curry has not practiced at all this camp and remains on the active-physically unable to perform list.

Allen hasn’t ruled out Curry returning in time

Yakupov hoping to get to work soon EDMONTON — Edmonton Oilers firstround pick Nail Yakupov welcomed the chance to get back to competitive hockey at the recent Canada-Russia Hockey Challenge.

He hopes he won’t have to wait too long to do it again.

Yakupov arrived in Edmonton to prepare for training camp ahead of a season in jeopardy of a possible lockout as NHL labour talks continue in Toronto.

Yakupov, who has signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Oilers, admits he’s given some thought to what he might do if the season is delayed by a lockout. But he doesn’t want to talk about his Plan B. “I think every player has a Plan B,” he told reporters. “I just want to play. I don’t want a lockout.

“For now, I’m just thinking about the Edmonton Oilers and the NHL and that’s it.”

Yakupov relished the opportunity to play for his country in the Canada-Russia Challenge, which was a four-game series between junior players from the two hockey powerhouses.

The series had another level of emotion.

The first two games were played in Yaroslavl, Russia, as a tribute to Kontinental Hockey League team Lokomotiv Yaroslavl. The club was involved in a horrific plane crash last September that killed 44 players and coaches.

“The first game in the (series) we played against Canada and it was something crazy,” said Yakupov, who scored in the series opener that Canada won 3-2. “It was fun — we played for the fans.”

The 19-year-old forward said he’s focusing on working out with his new teammates and hasn’t given much thought to how he’ll fit in a squad that already boasts young talents such as Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Taylor Hall.

“We’ll see what the lines are going to be and what the coach says,” he said. “I just want to play and play well and help the team win and have

fun.”

Yakupov is also busy settling into his new home and waiting for the rest of his family to join him.

“Mom, dad, sister, dog.

And me,” he said.

rectors at Duke, North Carolina, Kentucky, Florida, Ohio State, Connecticut, Georgetown, Oklahoma, Texas, Oregon, Stanford, Butler, Xavier, Gonzaga and Portland have agreed to participate He’s contacting eight more to be involved with the three-game format that will have some schools hosting a game before playing two more matchups in Portland, Ore., near Nike headquarters.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MESQUITE, Texas — A Dallas boy has been barred from playing peewee football because the league says he is just too big at nearly 300 pounds.

Mesquite Pee Wee Football Association president Ronnie Henderson said the rules are clear and 12-yearold Elijah Earnheart is not eligible. The sixfoot-one boy exceeds the 135-pound limit for seventh-grade players and received the bad news last Sunday when the league held its official weigh-in.

Henderson said he asked Elijah whether he was in sixth or seventh grade, then told him “no need going” any further.

Cindy Earnheart, the boy’s mother, said she was incensed and Elijah was humiliated.

“They would not even let him weigh in on the scales like every single boy out there,” she said.

“He might be the size of a grown man but he’s 12 years old and he has feelings, too.”

Elijah Earnheart, who describes himself as a “gentle giant” and dreams of someday playing pro football, said the turn of events was unfair.

“I’m not sad, I’m mad that I don’t get to play,” he said. “I’ve been practising for three weeks.”

Henderson said three other boys were turned away because of safety concerns.

Second trip for team from Vancouver LITTLE LEAGUE WORLD SERIES

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER — Few managers take their teams to baseball’s Little League World Series more than once — but Vito Bordignon is an exception.

Bordignon, manager of Canadian champion Hastings All-Stars of Vancouver, is cherishing his second chance at a world title in Williamsport, Pa., this year after getting there initially in 2009.

“It seems like the first time,” Bordignon said Wednesday via telephone from Williamsport before his team took part in a parade. “It’s a new experience for all these kids. I’m lucky to have a second time to come here. It’s a great experience. We’ve been treated like royalty, and the kids are having a great time. It’s the mecca of all of baseball right now.”

Bordignon, a 46-year-old controller with a construction-equipment distributor, is among countless volunteers who attempt to grow the game in Canada and other parts of the world.

He grew up and played Little League in the Hastings community, a workingclass neighbourhood located in Vancouver’s East End near the Pacific National Exhibition grounds.

Although he lives in Port Coquitlam, B.C., and works in nearby Coquitlam, he continues to make a long commute for games and practices to Hastings, where he has guided clubs for 28 years.

He has three provincial titles and two national crowns to his credit.

Unlike many other Little League coaches, Bordignon has no children of his own who have played the game.

He has kept coaching just for the love of the game and the chance to see his players develop memories.

“It’s high spectacle, but it’s really about the kids, and the way they in-

teract with each other is just phenomenal,” he said. “You’ll never forget it.

“It’s an unbelievable feeling to see these kids gain this kind of experience — once in a lifetime — because you can’t see this anywhere else.”

Vancouver-Hastings is one of 16 teams from around the globe that have advanced to the tournament that draws thousands to Williamsport, a small city of about 30,000. Bordignon has returned to the Little League shrine by guiding a whole new crew of 11 and 12-year-olds to an 18-1 record in district, provincial and national championship play.

Vancouver-Hastings qualified by beating Prairie representative Lethbridge Southwest 11-1 in the Canadian final in Edmonton last weekend.

During Bordignon’s first visit to Williamsport, his club did not make it out of the group stage of the International pool. The task will not be any easier this time as Vancouver-Hastings opens play Friday against Mexico, a threetime champion.

“We don’t know a lot about them,” said Bordignon. “But we do know that, traditionally, Mexico is a strong team.

They’ll have some big players and some strong players who can throw the ball pretty hard. It’s always competitive in the International pool.”

The group includes perennial powerhouse Taiwan, Curacao, Germany, Japan, Panama and Uganda. The other pool contains American teams.

Canada has never won a Little League World Series title, and the only Canadian team to reach the final was Ontario’s Stoney Creek back in 1965.

Last year, Langley, B.C., was eliminated by Japan in the playoff round.

Now that he is back in Williamsport a second time, Bordignon hopes his experience can help his players.

“This game is just a simple game,”

The Little League baseball team from Vancouver, British Columbia participates in the opening ceremony of the 2012 Little League World Series tournament in South Williamsport, Pa., Thursday. he said. “Don’t try to change. Just go out there and do the best you can. Do what brought you here, and make sure you stay focused.”

Vancouver-Hastings has strong pitching and fielding, but Bordignon said hitting will be the difference between success and disappointment in Williamsport.

In seven games at the Canadian championships, Vancouver-Hastings produced 74 runs while only allowing

two and posting five shutouts.

In addition to battling top clubs, Vancouver-Hastings will also have to conquer the inevitable jitters that come with playing on such a large stage for the first time. Bordignon hopes he will be less awestruck and can help his club prepare better than he did during his first trip in 2009.

“We’re going to be very competitive every game we play, and we’re going to be in a position to win games,” he said.

CRTC approves sale of MLSE to Bell and Rogers

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — The CRTC gave its approval Thursday for the sale of Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment and its sports television channels to two of Canada’s biggest media companies, BCE (TSX:BCE) and Rogers Communications (TSX:RCI.B).

As part of the approval, BCE and Rogers will be required to spend $7.5 million over the next seven years on new sports-themed programming by Canadian independent producers.

The federal broadcast regulator also repeated its assertion that companies are prohibited from offering television programs on an exclusive basis to

their mobile or Internet subscribers.

“When deciding whether or not to approve a proposed ownership transaction, the Commission must be persuaded, in light of the application and the public record that an approval is in the public interest,” CRTC chairman Jean-Pierre Blais said.

“In this case, we have been convinced that the transaction benefits Canadians as it will lead to the creation of new home-grown sports programming.”

MLSE owns the Toronto Maple Leafs hockey team as well as the Toronto Raptors basketball team and Toronto FC soccer team. It also owns Leafs TV, Gol TV and NBA TV Canada, as well as two services that have not yet launched.

Critics of the deal, which is expected to close this summer, have raised questions about the effect of putting so much content in the hands of some of Canada’s largest companies, fearing consumers will ultimately pay more.

BCE already owns CTV Inc. and the TSN specialty sports channels and Rogers owns the Sportsnet TV channels.

Both have extensive telecom networks and other media holdings that could benefit from tie-ins to the MLSE teams.

Bell spokeswoman Jacqueline Michelis said the Montreal-based company has now received all the required regulatory approvals.

Lanaya Schmidt is just like every other six-year-old. She loves to get dirty at the playground and splash around in the swimming pool.

The only difference is Schmidt has cochlear implants and the external processors worn on the ears cannot get wet or dirty.

So Schmidt removes the device from her ears when she takes a bath, hits the lake or when she hangs upside down on the monkey bars.

The Red Deer youngster had progressive hearing loss from the time she was very young and has lost her hearing entirely.

She has had the implants for about 18 months.

Since that time, the manufacturer has upgraded the device to allow users to wear them 100 per cent of the time.

The price tag for the upgrade is roughly $17,000. Last month, the company reduced the price of one processor to $3,500, and for both roughly $12,000.

Her mother, Amanda Schmidt, said the province provides financial assistance every seven years. The family received help

with the original set. Her health-care benefits do not cover the expense.

“So she has five and a half years to go before she will get these processors,” said Schmidt.

“One of her delays she was not exposed to the right amount of vocabulary in her first five years. Having these other processors would allow her to be exposed to the vocabulary that comes while you are in the water or playing in the playground. In five and a half years, we have kinda missed that sponge-like stage she is in right now.

Family and friends have hosted a couple of barbecue fundraisers to raise money for at least one processor.

They have surpassed the goal, raising about $7,600, and now are hoping to raise $4,400 for the set.

Schmidt said her daughter cannot mix the different processors. The six-year-old would have to remove her usual set before going outside with the new processor and even then she would only be able to hear out of one ear.

The barbecue will be hosted at Sobeys Gaetz South (2110 50th Ave.) at 10 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

Pooches waiting for adoption at the Red Deer and District SPCA now have a nicer place to roam, run and play.

In March, fundraising began for the makeover project.

The intent is to upgrade a 6,000-squarefoot outdoor space behind the animal shelter by bringing in soil, seeding the area, adding fencing and lawn furniture, and setting up a memorial garden.

The backyard, dubbed the Pawsitive Playzone, is up and running with only a few minor touches such as the memorial wall left, said SPCA executive director Tara Hellewell.

“The dogs are out there utilizing it and volunteers are working with them, doing some integration, training, and it is working very well,” she said.

Prior to the changes, Hellewell said they didn’t have enough room to allow the dogs to play and wrestle. Dogs that are cooped up in kennels can start to develop behavioural issues but the SPCA is no longer running into that problem.

“We have noticed a big difference,” Hellewell said.

“They’re a lot calmer in their kennels waiting for adoption and they are able to get some free run time.”

She said that volunteer dog walkers will allow the dogs to use the Pawsitive Playzone before or after walks to burn off extra energy and socialize with other dogs.

When the $4.2-million centre off 77th Street in Riverside Industrial Area was opened in March 2010, the rear landscaping had to be left on the to-do list.

The SPCA raised funds for about two months for the Pawsitive Playzone $25,000 upgrade and receive two large donations that made the project possible. The work took two more months.

“We were very pleased,” Hellewell said.

In the coming year, the SPCA hopes to roof the outdoor dog run as well.

While they are pleased they received donations for Pawsitive Playzone, Hellewell said donations for general operations have been slow during the summer.

The SPCA is currently full with 200 dogs and cats, all that need veterinary care. jjones@reddeeradvocate.com

Alberta woman lost in bush faced off with bear, broke into cabin to survive An Alberta woman lost in northern bush for two weeks faced off with a bear, ate berries and sipped water from streams before she found a remote hunting cabin she believes saved her life.

Rhonda Cardinal recalled Thursday how she broke a small window to get into the cabin.

Inside, she found more water, canned food and socks for her blistered and infected feet.

“I figured it was a matter of life and death,” said the 42-year-old woman, now resting at home with her parents in Calling Lake, a small community 200 kilometres north of Edmonton.

Cardinal said she spent a couple of nights at the cabin before she felt strong enough to trek again and look for help.

On Wednesday, after a short walk, she came across a road and within minutes waved down an oilfield worker driving by in his truck. He helped her climb inside and, through tears, she told him her story.

Cardinal said positive thoughts and prayers helped her get through the ordeal.

But now that she’s safe and sound at home, the owner of the cabin has phoned her demanding she pay for damages.

“He was worried about the window,” she said.

“I was starving and I was thirsty ...

I had no choice.”

RCMP Sgt. Brian Scott in Athabasca said he’s not aware of the

complaint but the woman can’t be blamed for the break-in.

“I think I would have done the same thing,” he said.

Scott said a relative reported Cardinal missing after she walked away from another hunting cabin about 20 kilometres north of Calling Lake on July 31.

Mounties searched on quads then brought in a helicopter. Wildlife officers and civilian volunteers joined the search and, with as many as 58 people one day, continued looking for about a week.

Scott said the group covered a huge area of land but found no sign of the woman. The search was called off last Friday.

Cardinal said she can’t explain why she left the first cabin. She “blacked out,” woke up lost and started wandering through the bush.

She said she heard a helicopter but assumed no one was able to see her. So she kept walking, often through soggy muskeg. Each night she fell exhausted under a tree and tried to sleep.

After a few days, she ditched her wet and torn shoes and ripped up her T-shirt to wrap around her blistering feet. Wearing a tank top and pants, without a jacket, she kept walking.

One day, a black bear startled her, she said. It aggressively stood up on its back legs.

“We were just looking at each other. I thought he was going to attack me,” Cardinal said. “I didn’t panic or anything. He went down. I walked away slowly the other way and he just walked the other way.”

Cardinal said she was relieved to

eventually find the cabin but knew she couldn’t stay there forever. After two nights, she set out again, this time with her feet wrapped in towels and stuffed inside some huge wool socks.

Christopher Raddi, a gas plant operator for Husky Energy, was driving from Athabasca, to meet a helicopter that regularly takes him to a work camp.

Just that morning he read a story in the newspaper about a missing woman, but he was still surprised to see a person standing along the remote stretch of road, especially one that appeared to be wearing fluffy slippers.

The woman was emotional and exhausted, but most of all relieved, Raddi said.

“I told her, ‘You know, I think you’ve got a few people concerned about you.”’

HOUSE: Relocated to Bower Ponds It was originally built by the Cronquist family, who were Swedish immigrants, in the area now known as West Park.

In 1973, the house and the land was acquired by developers, who intended to demolish it.

But three years later, the Red Deer Folk Festival Society relocated the house to its present site overlooking Bower Ponds.

After the move to Bower Ponds, the Cronquist House was completely restored.

The society suggests that people bring a picnic and lawn chairs to the Cronquist House birthday celebration.

The tea house is open from Tuesday to Friday until the end of August for lunch between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., with afternoon tea and desserts from 2 to 4 p.m.

Tycoon hunts frigate deal GERMAN BUSINESS LEADERS INVOLVED IN CANADA-GERMANY MEETING

BY MURRAY BREWSTER THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — A German defence consortium accompanying Chancellor Angela Merkel has its sights on Canada’s plan to eventually replace its command destroyers and patrol frigates with a single class of modern warships, say a number of defence sources.

The head of ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems is one five German business tycoons who took part in Thursday’s meeting with Canadian counterparts on Parliament Hill.

The company is already a major player in the Canadian navy’s plan to build new supply ships at the Seaspan yards in Vancouver.

ThyssenKrupp Marine is under contract to consult, and observers widely expect the company’s Berlin-class design will end up being chosen as the basis for the new replenishment ships.

But the bigger prize, according to industry sources, is the planned Canadian Single Class Surface Combatant Ship, which has yet to be given a firm price tag or start date.

Following meetings in Ottawa, the German delegation left for Halifax — home to Irving Shipbuilding, the company heading up major warship production in Canada.

Government and industry insiders say Public Works will begin consulting with defence contractors this fall on the singleclass ships.

The consultations are meant to give both the federal officials and defence planners a sense of how the project could unfold — where it fits within the framework of the Harper government’s much-hyped national shipbuilding strategy, and perhaps more importantly, its affordability.

The Halifax-class patrol frigates, built in the 1990s, are going through their mid-life refit, but the navy’s three Tribal-class de-

RIM lays off in Halifax HALIFAX — Nova Scotia’s economic development minister says Research in Motion Ltd. (TSX:RIM) has cut almost a quarter of its Halifaxarea staff. Percy Paris says he learned earlier today that the smartphone maker is laying off about 95 employees. Paris says more than 400 people work at the Halifax location and the cuts are significant.

He says he hopes the layoffs are temporary but adds that the government will do what it can to provide support to the laid off workers, though he didn’t specify. A spokeswoman for RIM says the cuts are part of the company’s June 28 announcement that they would be reducing their global workforce by 5,000.

Manufacturing sales drop Manufacturing sales in Canada fell in June, dragged lower by falling oil prices and refinery shutdowns.

Statistics Canada said Thursday that a 10.6 per cent drop in sales of petroleum and coal products pushed down overall sales to $48.9 billion in June, 0.4 per cent lower than in the previous month.

Economists had been expecting a gain of 0.3 per cent. “Following the two previous monthly declines, some manufacturing sales growth was expected in June, so despite some upward revisions, this reading is a disappointment,” TD Bank senior economist Jacques Marcil wrote in a note to clients.

“On the bright side though, most of the decline is centred in only one sector, petroleum and coal products, which was facing shortterm, exceptional circumstances. Another silver lining is that the tough month faced by that industry led to lower inventories.”

Sales were down in six provinces in June, with the largest declines posted in Alberta and New Brunswick.

Statistics Canada reported that 12 of 21 industries reported higher sales in June.

stroyers are almost all more than 40-yearsold and at the end of their life span.

Replacing them has been a priority for nearly a decade because they act as floating command centres that allow Canada to form its own naval task forces.

Even still, federal budget documents suggest no replacements are on the horizon until almost the end of the decade, at the earliest.

According to defence insiders, ThyssenKrupp Marine is interested in getting in on the ground floor of the single-class design and the eventual installation of combat systems, such as radar, missiles and guns.

That would be in keeping with the Harper government’s strategy, which mandates that the warships be built in Canada.

The consortium is also mentioned in federal briefing records as being a leading contender for the replacement of the navy’s British-built submarines in a project that’s anticipated after 2020.

Television correspondent Sabrina Quagliozzi reports from inside the Nasdaq MarketSite in New York’s Times Square. Facebook’s stock plunged to a new low Thursday, after the expiration of a ban that had prevented some early investors and insiders from dumping millions of additional shares they own in the socialnetworking leader.

Facebook takes new hit LOCK-UP PERIOD ENDS, PROVIDING EARLY INVESTORS WITH AN OUT

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN FRANCISCO — Facebook’s stock plunged to a new low Thursday as some of the social networking leader’s early backers got their first chance to sell their shares since the company’s initial public offering went awry.

Analysts interpreted the unusually high trading volume as a clear sign that at least a few of the insiders were seizing on a fresh selling opportunity.

That is stirring a debate over whether they’re simply locking in long-awaited gains on investments made many years ago or bailing out of a company that has lost its lustre.

A breakdown on just how many major Facebook Inc. shareholders sold their stock probably won’t be available until next week at the earliest.

Securities regulations give them at least three days before they have to disclose such transactions.

The information is important “because if you are an investor who has been sitting on the sidelines waiting for a good time to buy the stock, you might decide to stay on the sidelines for a little longer after seeing which insiders decided to sell their stock,” CapStone Investments analyst Rory Maher said.

All told, investors who owned a combined 271 million Facebook shares could have sold their holdings Thursday with the expiration of a ban known as a lock-up period.

The restrictions were imposed on a group of venture capitalists, companies and Silicon Valley cognoscente who invested in Facebook during its formative years and sold some of their holdings three months ago when the company went public at $38.

The highly anticipated IPO had valued the company at $104 billion, similar to those of Amazon.com Inc. and Pepsico Inc.

Joseph Doucet was in Red Deer on Thursday to renew some old acquaintances.

Dean of the Alberta School of Business at the University of Alberta since Jan. 1, Doucet was too new at his job to know most of the people at the alumni luncheon at the Red Deer Golf and Country Club. But he’s determined to strengthen local grads’ connection to their alma mater to the north.

“I really believe our alumni are important,” he said. “They’re our ambassadors, they are the people who feel tightly affiliated with the school — and that’s valuable, whether they’re employers, whether they’re sending Joseph Doucet their kids, whether they’re talking with the school.”

Doucet said the Alberta School of Business serves students from across the province, and beyond.

About 65 to 70 of its approximately 2,000 undergraduates hail from the Red Deer area, he said.

Doucet downplayed concerns about young residents from here moving to Edmonton for their postsecondary education and never returning. Many graduates do end up in the Red Deer region, he said, as do others not originally from here.

“In places like Red Deer or Peace River, we sometimes think about that exodus. But we should also think about the people who choose and are happy to leave that bigger city.

“If there are jobs here, kids from Edmonton will think of moving here. Many people in this room today are Edmontonians who came here for employment and wouldn’t move back to Edmonton.”

What the Alberta School of Business wants to do, said Doucet, is create career opportunities for its students.

The University of Alberta has an agreement with Red Deer College that allows qualified RDC students to transfer to the Alberta School of Business after one or two years. But business students at the college can now also earn a bachelor’s degree in business administration without leaving Red Deer — thanks to an agreement between Red Deer College and Mount Royal University.

Doucet said his institution has benefited from Alberta’s strong economy. Graduates are able to find work, out-of-province students are motivated to come here and prospective faculty members see greater opportunities for their spouses.

The school’s programming has also been influenced by the pervasiveness of the energy sector, he noted. Specialized energy courses are offered at both the undergraduate and MBA levels.

“If you want to be an accountant and work in Alberta, chances are you will have some kind of interaction with the energy sector.”

Doucet hopes to meet with more U of A alumni in Red Deer in the future. And he plans to do the same at other communities in Alberta. hrichards@reddeeradvocate.com

Loonie rises with commodities, Moody’s reaffirms triple-A rating

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS The Canadian dollar closed a fresh 3 ½ month high Thursday amid rising commodity prices, a mixed bag of economic data and an announcement from Moody’s Investor Service that Canada gets to keep its triple-A rating.

Moody’s says Canada’s economic performance and the financial position of its federal government have held up relatively well.

The loonie ran up 0.24 of a cent to 101.35 cents US as Statistics Canada reported manufacturing shipments dropped 0.4 per cent in June.

“Some of that was offset by an upward revision to the prior month, to flat from (a drop of) 0.4 per cent originally reported,” observed CIBC World Markets chief economist Avery Shenfeld.

“That left the combined two-month

change not far from consensus, but well below what we were looking for.”

Economists had expected a 0.3 per cent gain in shipments.

The economic news was mixed from Canada’s biggest trading partner.

A key measure of manufacturing in the U.S. Northeast came in worse than expected.

The Philadelphia Federal Reserve’s manufacturing index registered a negative reading for a fourth month, coming in at minus 7.1, which was a bit better than July’s reading of minus 12.9. But economists had expected a reading of minus 5.0.

The number of Americans applying for unemployment benefits rose by 2,000 to 366,000. The less volatile four-week average fell by 5,500 to 363,750. That was the lowest level since late March.

U.S. housing starts for July came in weaker than expected at an annualized rate of 746,000, down 1.1 per cent from the

previous month.

But in a hopeful sign for future construction, building permits increased 6.8 per cent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 812,000 in July. This is the highest level since August 2008.

Financial markets and the Canadian dollar have rallied on optimism the world’s central banks will do more to shore up the global economy.

While the European Central Bank is expected to restart its bond-buying program to keep a lid on the borrowing rates of Spain and Italy, the U.S. and Chinese monetary authorities are widely tipped to back more easing measures to boost their economies.

Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao, during a visit to eastern China earlier this week, was quoted by the official Xinhua news agency as saying the country has the “conditions and capabilities” to meet its 7.5 per cent economic growth target this year.

MARKETS CLOSE TORONTO — The Toronto stock market closed at a 3 1/2 month high Thursday as commodities gained ground in the wake of positive U.S. housing data and continued hopes that central bankers can keep a fragile recovery on the rails.

The S&P/TSX composite index ran ahead 127.14 points to 12,032.58 while the TSX Venture Exchange climbed 14.62 points to 1,221.25.

The TSX hadn’t closed above 12,000 since May 3 when the European government debt crisis worsened as the focus moved to Spain and Italy.

The loonie also closed at its best levels since early May, rising 0.24 of a cent to 101.35 cents US while Statistics Canada reported manufacturing shipments dropped 0.4 per cent in June.

Economists had expected a 0.3 per cent gain, but at the same time the agency revised the May showing to flat from a drop of 0.4 per cent. The commodity-sensitive currency found support from rising prices for oil and copper.

U.S. markets were also in the green even as a key measure of manufacturing in the U.S. Northeast came in worse than expected.

The Philadelphia Federal Reserve’s manufacturing index registered a negative reading for a fourth month, coming in at minus 7.1, which was a bit better than July’s reading of minus 12.9. But economists had expected a reading of minus 5.0.

The Dow Jones industrials ran ahead 85.33 points to 13,250.11, the Nasdaq composite index was ahead 31.46 points to 3,062.39, and the S&P 500 index edged up 9.98 points to 1,415.51.

Other data showed that U.S. builders slowed the pace of housing construction slightly in July as construction of single-family homes and apartments dipped 1.1 per cent in July compared with June to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 746,000.

But in a hopeful sign for future construction, building permits increased 6.8 per cent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 812,000 in July. That is the highest level since August 2008.

Markets have rallied since the lows of the year in early June on optimism the world’s central banks will do more to shore up the global economy. However, a string of positive U.S. economic data, including a strong reading on retail sales and industrial production, has raised doubts about what the Federal Reserve might do.

“On one hand, the market has anticipated a little bit of stimulus type of event and the market has moved up,” said Monika Skiba, senior portfolio manager at Manulife Asset Management.

“On the other hand, if we have better economic data, such as higher employment, better growth, then the likelihood of (more stimulus) is lower now. We’re caught between the two.”

While the European Central Bank is expected to restart its bond-buying

program to keep a lid on the borrowing rates of Spain and Italy, the U.S. and Chinese monetary authorities are widely tipped to back more easing measures to boost their economies.

Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao, during a visit to eastern China earlier this week, was quoted by the official Xinhua news agency as saying the country has the “conditions and capabilities” to meet its 7.5 per cent economic growth target this year.

His comment helped push oil prices higher on top of a gain of almost US$1 Wednesday in the wake of data showing a much bigger than expected drawdown of American crude inventories last week. On Thursday, the September contract on the New York Mercantile Exchange edged up $1.27 to US$95.60 a barrel.

The energy sector rose 1.16 per cent while Canadian Natural Resources (TSX:CNQ) was ahead 74 cents to C$31.55.

The gold sector provided lift, rising about three per cent as December bullion rose $12.60 to US$1,619.20 an ounce. Goldcorp Inc. (TSX:G) climbed $1.69 to C$37.93.

Barrick Gold Inc. (TSX:ABX) was in focus as the world’s biggest gold miner said it was in talks that could result in the sale of its majority stake in African Barrick Gold to China’s largest gold producer. ABG is Tanzania’s largest gold producer and one of the five largest gold producers in Africa, but production costs have been higher than anticipated, Barrick Gold said in its recent second-quarter financial report. Barrick shares ran up $1.34 to $35.60.

The base metals sector was up 2.85 per cent while copper prices rose three cents to US$3.38 a pound. First Quantum Minerals (TSX:FM) rose 56 cents to C$19.67.

The financials sector rose 0.85 per cent as Royal Bank (TSX:RY) advanced 73 cents to $53.45.

The telecom sector was the weakest component with Telus Corp.

(TSX:T) $1.40 lower at $63.48.

Earnings news was uneven.

Cisco Systems raised its dividend after the close of markets Wednesday by 75 per cent to 14 cents a share as the company beat analyst expectations on quarterly earnings and revenue. Its shares surged 9.63 per cent to US$19.02.

Wal-Mart Stores Inc.’s secondquarter net income rose 5.7 per cent and the retailer raised its full-year profit outlook. But quarterly revenue came in short of expectations and its stock was down 3.09 per cent to US$72.15.

After the close, Gap Inc. handed in quarterly earnings of US$243 million or 49 cents a share, beating estimates by three cents. Gap, which operates stores under its namesake, Old Navy, Banana Republic and Athleta, also said Thursday that it’s raising its full-year profit guidance. But its shares were off 0.7 per cent in after hours trading in New York.

And Facebook sank 6.27 per cent to US$19.87 on the first day that

its early investors and a handful of founders were free to sell their stock.

It earlier hit an all time low of $19.69.

In all, 271 million shares can be sold, according to Facebook’s regulatory filings. Facebook has plunged since its initial public offering, when it went as high as $45.

TSX VENTURE EXCHANGE TORONTO — The TSX Venture Exchange closed on Thursday at 1,221.25, up 14.62 points. The volume was 150.85 million shares.

three months, the early investors can still reap huge windfalls by selling at the current price.

For instance, Thiel invested $500,000 in Facebook in 2004, the year CEO Mark Zuckerberg began the site in a Harvard dorm room.

After selling 16.8 million shares for $640 million at the time of the initial public offering in May, Thiel still owned nearly 28 million shares worth about $560 million at Thursday’s trading prices.

Accel Partners invested $12.7 million in Facebook in 2005.

The firm sold nearly 58 million shares for $2.2 billion as part of Facebook’s IPO and still owned nearly 144 million shares worth about $2.9 billion.

It wasn’t known how many of those shares could have been sold Thursday, and whether any of them were.

The shares have plunged by nearly 50 per cent since then amid concerns about whether Facebook is destined to become a passing fancy and worries about whether it will be able to sell more advertising on mobile devices as users gravitate there.

The shares closed Thursday at $19.87, down $1.33, or more than 6 per cent.

man Sachs Group Inc; software maker Microsoft Corp.; Zynga Inc. CEO Marc Pincus; LinkedIn Corp. Chairman Reid Hoffman; and former PayPal CEO Peter Thiel.

If there was mass selling within this group, Facebook’s stock could decline further because the market would be flooded with nearly two-thirds more shares.

Given that most of these investors put their money into Facebook five to eight years ago, they probably were eager to sell, said Sam Hamadeh, CEO of PrivCo, which researches privately held companies.

“A lot of people have been waiting,” Hamadeh said. “Facebook was expected to go public a long time ago.”

CALGARY — Pressure from Jana Partners LLC is a good thing for shareholders of Agrium Inc. — regardless of whether or not the fertilizer giant splits off its retail arm, analysts say.

Although their firm remains “agnostic” about the idea of breaking Agrium in two, analysts Mark Connelly and Kurt Schoen of CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets say the exercise should help shareholders better understand how well the retail segment is really performing.

New York activist hedge fund Jana has become Agrium’s largest shareholder with a four per cent stake and has called on the company to, among other things, spin off its retail segment in order to better reflect its value.

It argues the company’s costs are too high and has taken issue with how Agrium (TSX:AGU) allocates its working capital.

Agrium produces the three main types of fertilizer — potash, nitrogen and phosphates — and then sells those products and others to farmers through its retail business.

The Calgary-based company’s board

of directors unanimously agrees that getting rid of retail poses too big a risk and that shareholders are better served if the company remains integrated.

Officials with Agrium and Jana met in New York on Wednesday, and shortly after Jana founder Barry Rosenstein wrote a letter to Agrium’s board of directors lambasting the company for its “scorched earth” approach to resisting the suggested changes.

Connelly and Schoen said they also spent time with Agrium management on Wednesday, and were surprised the company hasn’t found more common ground with the hedge fund.

“We’d suggest that both sides should be in clear agreement that Agrium Retail isn’t getting as fully valued in Agrium’s stock price as it could be,” they wrote in a note to clients Thursday.

The analysts said Agrium doesn’t disclose enough information about its retail segment to help investors understand how valuable it is or how well it’s doing.

One sticking point that’s come up throughout the debate is how to value Agrium’s retail segment as an independent entity, since there are no publicly traded agricultural retailers to compare it to.

Astronomers used NASA’s X-Ray telescope to spot this distant galaxy creating about 740 new stars a year. By comparison, our Milky Way galaxy spawns just about one new star each year.

There’s a constant “tussle between black holes and star formation,” said Sir Martin Rees, a prominent astrophysicist at the University of Cambridge in England.

He was not part of the study, but commented on it during a NASA teleconference Wednesday.

In this case, the black hole in the central galaxy seems to be unusual-

ly quiet compared to other supermassive black holes, Rees said. “So it’s losing the tussle,” he said.

But this massive burst of star birth is probably only temporary because there’s only so much fuel and limits to how big a galaxy can get, Foley said.

“It could be just a very short-lived phase that every galaxy cluster has and we just got lucky here” to see it, Foley said.

WASHINGTON — Scientists have found a cosmic supermom.

It is a galaxy that gives births to more stars in a day than ours does in a year.

Astronomers used NASA’s Chandra X-Ray telescope to spot this distant gigantic galaxy creating about 740 new stars a year.

By comparison, our Milky Way galaxy spawns just about one new star each year.

The galaxy is about 5.7 billion light years away in the centre of a recently discovered cluster of galaxies that give off the brightest X-ray glow astronomers have seen.

It is by far the biggest creation of stars that astronomers have seen for this kind of galaxy. Other types, such as colliding galaxies, can produce even more stars, astronomers said.

But this is the size, type and age of galaxy that shouldn’t be producing stars at such a rapid pace, said the authors of a study published Wednesday in the journal Nature.

“It’s very extreme,” said Harvard University astronomer Ryan Foley, co-author of the study.

“It pushes the boundaries of what we understand.”

The unnamed galaxy — officially known by a string of letters and numbers — is about three trillion times the size of our sun, said study lead author Michael McDonald of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

There’s another strange thing about this galaxy.

It’s fairly mature, maybe six billion years old.

Usually, this kind “don’t do anything new... what we call red and dead,” McDonald said in an interview.

“It seems to have come back to life for some reason.”

Because of that backto-life situation, the team of 85 astronomers has nicknamed the galaxy cluster Phoenix, after the bird that rises from the ashes.

The galaxy that is producing the stars at a rate of two per day is the biggest and most prominent of many galaxies there.

It’s “helping us answer this basic question

of how do galaxies form their stars,” said Michigan State University astronomer Megan Donahue, who was not part of the study but praised it.

There is lots of very hot hydrogen gas between galaxies.

When that gas cools to below zero, the gas can form stars, McDonald said.

But only 10 per cent of the gas in the universe becomes stars, Donahue said.

That’s because the

NEW YORK — Neon is a fashion trend that might be best suited to the cool kids — or real kids.

Unlike so many looks that trickled down from designer runways to mass retailers and into teenagers’ closets, the almost electrifying shades of pink, green, yellow and orange have been hanging out in high school hallways for a while. And they’re back again for the new school year. “Teens stayed with neon because for them, it’s so easy to wear. It taps into youth, emotion and standing out, which they like doing,� says Seventeen senior fashion editor Marissa Rosenblum.

The highlighter colours have evolved this season into accessories, beauty products and outerwear. There are still the T-shirts, colored jeans, hoodies and athletic apparel, but Rosenblum says the way to wear neon is as a single bright pop, not head to toe.

(It’s probably a safe bet that lots of pint-sized athletes will buy into the bright footwear that has made Nike’s track and field sneakers one of the most buzzed-about looks of the Olympics.) “This is the season of colour: colour on colour, colour back to neutrals.

Neons are just one of the amazing colour trends that are important right now,� says Anu Narayanan, vice-president of women’s merchandising for Old Navy.

She’d like to see mint green jeans with a yellow neon tank with a grey cardigan. “Neon looks best as a surprise within a look.�

For its largely gradeschool customer, The Children’s Place will pair neon with navy as the cooler weather moves in.

The brand started introducing neon through bright accents for its summer products but “you’ll see even more for the holidays,� says TCP senior vice-president of design Michael Giannelli. “And it will continue into the spring and probably into next fall. ... We grabbed onto it because we have more freedom in kidswear to play with bright colour.�

He adds, “The children have a sense of humour about their clothes.�

Elena Kiam is creative director and co-owner of the jewelry brand Lia Sophia, which is launching a fashion jewelry collection called Sisters aimed at the tween and teen set. It includes neon, preapproved by Kiam’s teenage daughters and their friends. “They can be a tough crowd. They’re changing all the time, reinventing themselves all the time, trying new things. It’s an age of experimentation, but they’re also a part of the population who knows what’s going on,� she says. “They’re very savvy.�

If everyone is wearing neon, they’ll also want it for their accessories, says Kiam, adding that schools with strict dress codes will likely allow superbright friendship bracelets or earrings.

Her uniform-wearing girls don’t get a lot of variety in their school-day clothes, so “they change up their jewelry for a little bit of self-expression.�

She expects neon citrus yellow-green to be particularly popular with kids and — as with everything — neon pink. “You don’t have to be the ’pink girl’ when it’s neon.

That has a bit of an edge to it,� Kiam says.

Neon, however, isn’t just a chick thing. Giannelli points to the 1980s,

when it was a staple in every kid’s wardrobe, and he says the skatersnowboarder-surfer look has brought brights back into favour for boys. “Skater kids and surfer dudes are wearing bright pinks and deep purples, and they’re also getting into orange and banana.�

These colours work surprisingly well in snow gear, particularly fleece, which often is done in one colour and trimmed ON NOW AT YOUR ALBERTA BUICK GMC DEALERS. AlbertaGMC.com 1-800-GM-DRIVE.

Band wants musical marriage to work BIG WRECK PUTS BAD BLOOD FROM BREAKUP BEHIND IT, GETS BACK TO CLIMBING ROCK CHARTS

BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF Success is sweeter — and more sorely won — the second time around for the reassembled band Big Wreck, a headliner at Alberta’s Own Independent Music Festival in Lacombe.

The group that rose to fame with the Top 10 hit The Oaf in 1997 and then disbanded due to internal squabbling in 2002 was born again when the band’s two founders rekindled their musical relationship in 2010.

This time, vocalist Ian Thornley and guitarist Brian Doherty are like a couple determined to make a marriage work — they are putting their friendship first.

“It’s really important that nobody’s harbouring any bad feelings, that there’s no unfinished business, that the communication lines are always open,” said Thornley, who performs with Big Wreck on Friday, Aug. 24, as part of the festival lineup.

“We don’t want to let any stuff creep in there, the personal stuff that hindered us the last time.”

11TH ANNUAL ALBERTA’S OWN INDEPENDENT MUSIC FESTIVAL The 11th-Annual Alberta’s Own Independent Musicc Festival runs Aug. 24-26 in Lacombe’s Michener Park.

Nothing has stopped the group’s meteoric single, Albatross, from occupying the No. 1 spot on Canadian rock charts for six weeks earlier this year. And following this success, the band’s 2012 same-titled album is now due for a fall release in the U.S.

‘Bro-mantic’ comedy of the summer Watching The Expendables 2 is like watching a hog wallow at a fall fair: all mud, blood and squealing

The Expendables 2 Rated: 14A Two and a half stars (out of four) Nomination for the year’s cutest bromantic couple: Sylvester Stallone and Jason Statham, who sport matching berets and brass knuckles in The Expendables 2. They’re a dangerously darling duo.

They have competition. Amongst the many beefy buddies in this steroidal sequel, there are Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis getting very close and cuddly in a Smart car.

These brawny boy-men mean business, of course, but it’s mostly funny business. The sole reason for Schwarzenegger’s expanded presence, now that he’s returned from politics to movies full-time, is to crack wise with his famous one-liners (“I’m back!”).

But they all take turns playing the clown — and for the most part, it’s fun to watch them at it, even if the body count is distressingly high.

Stallone’s Expendables have all reached the age

where they’re as likely to reach for the Botox as for the testosterone supplements, and they’re not trying very hard to hide it.

Especially since the success of their first film proved the enduring popularity of action heroes in their 50s and 60s, all the more so when you cram so much muscle into a single movie.

The pumped-up pack has a couple of noteworthy additions (Jean-Claude Van Damme and Chuck Norris) and subtractions (Mickey Rourke and Steve Austin), plus enPETER larged cameos (SchwarzenegHOWELL ger and Willis) and returning mainstays (Stallone, Statham, Dolph Lundgren, Jet Li, Terry Crews and Randy Couture).

There’s also the obligatory tough girl, the codebreaking and neck-snapping hottie Maggie (Yu Nan),

MOVIES

who becomes an important part of various male missions but is still expected to wait outside the tree fort.

Stallone’s Expendables ringleader Barney pays her what passes for a compliment in this universe, after she proves herself an ace at linguistics, bomb defusing and martial arts: “Is there anything you don’t know?”

The plot? You’re kidding, right?

But it can be summed up in Barney’s answer to his slicing sidekick Lee Christmas (Statham), when he’s asked, “What’s the plan?”

Barney snarls: “Track ’em. Find ’em. Kill ’em.”

There’s plenty of this, especially the killing part (decapitations are a favourite method) and motivations are two-fold: saving the world and payback.

The villain du jour, who actually is named Vilain, has Van Damme hoarding a big stash of weaponsgrade plutonium (like there’s any other kind?) while also seriously annoying the Expendables with his dastardly deeds.

Sheen awaits renewal of Anger Management

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Charlie Sheen says he’s looking forward to getting the big phone call that would prove his naysayers wrong and make him a prime-time TV fixture once again.

Next Thursday marks the broadcast of the tenth episode of his new comedy Anger Management on the U.S. cable network FX (the show’s pilot aired on CTV following the closing ceremony of the London Olympics and will have its official Canadian premiere on Sept. 11).

Coming off being ousted from the top-rated Two and a Half Men and his subsequent public breakdown, Sheen picked Anger Management — which is based on the 2003 film of the same name — as his big comeback project, hoping to make people forget about his admittedly self-destructive and wacky “tiger blood” period.

FX agreed to a 10-episode trial run of Anger Management and pledged to air 90 more if ratings were strong enough.

Critics haven’t been overly kind and ratings have dropped since Anger Management’s record-breaking U.S. premiere.

But FX president John Landgraf has hinted that the show hit the threshold it needed to get the big renewal.

“As with any comedy, I think it’s got more growth in it creatively, I think it’s still developing, but generally speaking, I’m real happy,” Landgraf told reporters last month in Beverly Hills, Calif., during a Television Critics Association annual press tour session.

“I would say the odds are overwhelming that it will ultimately earn that renewal.”

Sheen says he’d love to hear something a little more official from Landgraf but understands that he may have to wait until next week — after ratings are in for the tenth episode — for the confirmation.

“It’d be nice,” he said during an interview in Toronto on Tuesday night, while in town to support the Joe Carter Classic Celebrity Golf Tournament.

Actor Charlie Sheen throws out the ceremonial first pitch before MLB action between the Chicago White Sox and the Toronto Blue Jays in Toronto on Tuesday.

“I guess they have to play the game out though and that’s fine.

“That’s the deal we made and that’s the one they’ll honour and we’ll honour. But I think ultimately the fans want it.”

Sheen said he has no problem envisioning a long run for the show and has no shortage of ideas to get

through 100 episodes — and maybe beyond.

“There’s so many characters that matter and there’s so many scenarios that if you go into a threeepisode arc about someone ... look at how you can start stringing this thing out,” he said.

“I think there’s 1,000 stories there, we’ve just got to tell 100.”

Banter with audience becoming a lost art: Manilow TORONTO — Barry Manilow famously writes the songs that make the whole world sing. And during his shows, he loves to tell audiences how those legendary tunes came about.

But the Copacabana hitmaker — who will take the stage about two hours north of Toronto at Casino Rama on Aug. 20 and 21 — thinks stage banter is becoming a lost art.

“I like telling the audience where the song came from ... I think it’s interesting to an audience. I would like to see artists do more of that,” Manilow said.

STORIES FROM PAGE D1

WRECK: Formed in 1994 Big Wreck was initially formed in Boston in 1994 by musicians who had met as students at the Berklee College of Music. The group with the Canadian-born singer had some U.S. radio play, but really took off in Canada, where That Song and Blown Wide Open followed The Oaf as chart-topping hits in the late 1990s.

Considering the band lasted less than a decade before breaking up, its musical impact was wide ranging — both hard rockers Submersed and American Idol winner David Cook cited Big Wreck as an influence.

Thornley believes a lot of old fans are thrilled that the group is back in its new incarnation, judging by recent audience reactions.

The reassembled Big Wreck, based in Toronto, includes guitarists Doherty and Paulo Neta, bassist Dave McMillan and drummer Brad Park, who previously performed in Thornley, a band that carried Ian’s last name.

For a while, Thornley’s namesake group played on double bills with the reformed band, but Thornley said it has since been put on hiatus so the musicians can focus on touring as Big Wreck.

“We didn’t really intend for there to be a (new) Big Wreck album,” he recalled, but the more he and Doherty played together the more their former sound resurfaced — although in a more refined and textural form.

“It feels like there’s more ebb and flow now, and the guitar solos have more shades,” said Thornley, who believes there’s no formula to the group’s bluestinged rock.

“The main rule is there are no rules. I’d rather be happy musically and be broke than play three chords (attempting a successful pop song format) and be broke,” he added, with a laugh.

The singer, who’s now 40 and married with children, wishes he could savour more of the highs of being in a flourishing rock band the second time around. “But I still suffer from not taking enough time to smell the roses and sit back and enjoy it.

I’m always pushing for-

“I’ve done that from my very beginnings, the very, very first show I ever did.”

Manilow, 69, says he thinks audiences become more engaged when they know what is on his mind when he performs a certain song.

“I’d love to see other artists do that. I’d love to know more about other artists’ lives and what they’re thinking before they sing a song. Because after awhile it kind of gets numbing to go from one song, to the other song, to the next song, to the next song.

I would love them to stop and say ’I was here when I wrote this’ and ’my family was there.’

“Anyway, they don’t (do it). I do.”

Manilow is performing on the road again after a

wrapping a long Las Vegas residency in December.

While the audiences he encounters during tours are usually rabid fans, he says the crowds in Sin City were a “different breed.”

“In Vegas, most of the audiences were walk-up, meaning that they would get off the plane and say: ‘Barry Manilow? He’s still alive? Let’s go see him.’

That audience would be a totally different audience than any of the audiences that I’d ever played for.

There were a lot of conventions. A lot of them really didn’t know what I did up there. Most of them thought I sat at the piano and played ballads. It was a whole different way of performing for these people than I would if I was going on a concert tour.”

ward, thinking, OK, the first single went to No. 1, what’s the next single going to do? . . .

darkness. This will become more of a necessity as the franchise continues — Expendables 3 is already in the works — along with the relentless aging process.

I can imagine a future Expendables shot entirely in the dark, with only the sounds of guns and grunts to guide us. All least we’ll know they’re all smiling.

Peter Howell is a syndicated Toronto Star movie critic.

REVIEW: In on the joke It’s like watching a hog wallow at a fall fair: all mud, blood and squealing. And it’s set to the most incongruous pop soundtrack ever, with tunes The Young Rascals’ Groovin’ making mass slaughter seem like a great way to while away a Sunday afternoon.

Simon West (Con Air), working with a script by Stallone and Richard Wenk, directs with efficiency but with more blunt force than panache. It begins with a Nepal fortress rescue that is built around battering rams, machine guns and cheesy one-liners.

West is fully in on the joke, though, and he does allow Stallone, who directed the first film, to concentrate on what passes for acting. Stallone is not a guy you want to confuse.

Quirks, they have a few, which makes these Expendables so endearing. Barney loves skull symbols, even putting them on his designer ballpoint pen.

Henpecked Lee has a cellphone that quacks whenever his lady calls, and he’s apparently the only guy getting any serious female attention.

Jet Li’s Yin Yang is handy with pots and pans, when his gun fails. And Chuck Norris arrives to the sound of Ennio Morricone’s spaghetti western theme and with a funny story about a cobra. Weird how Norris has started to look like Tim Allen in his old age.

At no point does anybody take any of this seriously, even when the inevitable showdown occurs between Stallone and Van Damme, a matchup long hoped for by fans of the genre.

It was evidently more of a workout for their stuntmen, judging by how much of it was shot in near

Silversun Pickups issue cease and desist order to Romney campaign

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The Silversun Pickups want Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign to immediately stop the use of the rock group’s song Panic Switch. And the Romney campaign has no problem with that.

The Los Angeles-based band’s attorney sent a cease and desist letter to the Republican presidential candidate’s campaign on Wednesday. A news release says neither the band nor its representatives were contacted for permission to use the 2009 alternative rock hit and the group “has no intention of endorsing the Romney campaign.”

“We don’t like people going behind our backs, using our music without asking, and we don’t like the Romney campaign,” Silversun Pickups lead singer Brian Aubert said in the statement. “We’re nice, approachable people. We won’t bite. Unless you’re Mitt Romney! We were very close to just letting this go because the irony was too good. While he is inadvertently playing a song that describes his whole campaign, we doubt that Panic Switch really sends the message he intends.”

ENTERTAINMENT

BRIEFS

Paul McCartney sends support to Russian punks Paul McCartney has sent support to a Russian punk band whose members face prison for a stunt against President Vladimir Putin.

In a letter released Thursday, the former Beatle urged three members of all-female band Pussy Riot to “stay strong” and called on authorities to allow them freedom of speech.

McCartney said that “I and many others like me who believe in free speech will do everything in our power to support you and the idea of artistic freedom.”

The band members have been in jail for more than five months because of an anti-Putin prank in Moscow’s main cathedral, and face a maximum seven years in jail.

Celebrities including Madonna and Bjork have called for them to be freed.

A judge is due to rule on their case Friday.

Rep: Bobby Brown in rehab after March DUI arrest NEW YORK — Bobby Brown has checked himself into rehab.

Brown’s representative said in an email Thursday that the R&B singer checked into a “confidential rehabilitation centre” last week as part of his agreement following his March arrest for drunken driving in Los Angeles.

His publicist says that Brown’s plea agreement in the case requires that he requires that he get treatment for alcohol use. His attorney Christopher Brown says in a statement that Brown “takes his agreement very seriously.”

The 43-year-old singer is the former husband of Whitney Houston, who died this year. He married his manager Alicia Etheredge-Brown in June.

Brown still plans to perform scheduled solo concerts and tour with his group New Edition. His first album in 14 years came out this summer.

Downey hurt on Iron Man 3 set; filming on hold LOS ANGELES — Production on Iron Man 3 is on hold after star Robert Downey Jr. hurt his foot during filming.

Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul said in an email that the song was inadvertently played during the setup for one event before Romney arrived.

The band learned about it in a tweet from Romney’s North Carolina stopover.

“As anyone who attends Gov. Romney’s events knows, this is not a song we would have played intentionally,” she wrote. “That said, it was covered under the campaign’s regular blanket license, but we will not play it again.”

Saul says the campaign has licensing agreements with BMI and ASCAP. Silversun Pickups publicist Ken Weinstein says the group and its team don’t agree that the song’s use is covered. Attorney Tamara Milagros-Butler said she received a call from the campaign’s general counsel within about an hour of sending the letter.

“As the former governor (of) the state of Massachusetts, a graduate of Harvard Law School, and candidate for U.S. President, we’re pretty sure you’re familiar with the laws of this great country of ours,” it reads in part. “We’re writing because we, like you, think these laws are important.”

Milagros-Butler said the band is pleased with the result. She said it was important for politicians to respect musicians’ rights.

“Hard-working folks like them who have worked for years, and years and years building the value of their copyright” know the law and that they have to be vigilant about their rights, she said.

Panic Switch, which seems to be an indictment of “red views” that “keep ripping the divide,” helped the quartet earn a Grammy nomination for best new artist in 2009 and joins a long list of songs allegedly purloined by politicians.

These types of dustups are nothing new.

There was Ronald Reagan’s appropriation of Bruce Springsteen’s Born in the USA. Tommy Petty and Michelle Bachmann squared off over American Girl. And John McCain’s campaign ran afoul of a number of acts in 2008, including Jackson Browne and Foo Fighters.

Republican candidates aren’t always targeted.

Soul singer Sam Moore asked President Barack Obama to stop the use of Soul Man in his 2008 campaign.

Marvel Studios said Thursday that Downey was injured while performing a stunt and “there will be a short delay in production while he recuperates.”

The 47-year-old actor is shooting the third installment in the superhero franchise in North Carolina.

Iron Man 3 is set for release next summer.

Downey plays billionaire playboy Tony Stark and Gwyneth Paltrow is his love, Pepper Potts. Guy Pearce and Ben Kingsley also star.

Downey also appeared as his Stark/Iron Man character earlier this summer in The Avengers. The actor also unveiled a clip of the forthcoming Iron Man flick at Comic-Con last month.

Elvis’ ex-wife, daughter greet fans on anniversary of singer’s death

Artists inspired by Mystery Science Theater 3000 embrace movie riffs KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Talking back to movies used to attract annoyed stares or the glare of an usher’s flashlight. But now audiences in theatres, comedy clubs and even sports arenas are lining up to hear the heckles.

A generation weaned on the smart-alecky 90’s cult TV show Mystery Science Theater 3000 is embracing the movie riff as its own comedic form.

The show’s creator Joel Hodgson and other cast members tour theatres with a popular live show, cracking jokes as schlocky horror and sci-fi movies play in the background.

Another group of Mystery Science Theater alums, the San Diego-based RiffTrax, performs live shows as well as online audio commentaries. And comedy clubs and cinemas from Kansas City to Seattle host their own sanctioned shout-fests. Some even display audience members’ joking text messages onscreen.

Indiana museum finds previously unauthenticated glass Picasso piece in storage; plans to sell EVANSVILLE, Ind. — An Indiana museum plans to sell a work of glass art by Pablo Picasso that sat unnoticed in storage for nearly 50 years.

The Evansville Museum says the piece titled “Seated Woman with Red Hat” was donated to the museum in 1963.

Museum officials say it was cataloged as art inspired by a design for a Picasso painting but credited to an artist named Gemmaux. That name turned out to be plural for “gemmail,” which is the type of glass used in the work.

President Steven Krohn told the Evansville Courier & Press (http://bit.ly/N2w5Ec) that trustees decided to have New York auction house Guernsey’s sell the piece because of the costs to display, secure, preserve and insure it.

Krohn says it’s not yet known how much the piece is worth.

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Thousands of devotees converged on Graceland to mark the 35th anniversary of Elvis Presley’s death and got a surprise welcome from the King’s former wife and daughter, the first time Priscilla and Lisa Marie Presley have appeared together at the annual gathering.

The two women appeared on an elevated stage in front of the crowd Wednesday night, the eve of the Aug. 16 date when the rock and roll icon died at home in 1977 from a heart attack after battling prescription drug abuse.

Fans held up lit candles, illuminating their faces in orange light as they stood in the street outside the gates of Graceland, Elvis’ longtime home and his burial place.

“You should see this from our point of view. It’s amazing,” Priscilla Presley said, standing alongside Lisa Marie. “The candles are lit. It’s truly a sight to behold.”

The two women stunned the crowd with their unexpected appearance. It was the first time both of them had appeared together at the annual gathering.

Later, fans who participated in the vigil moved up the tree-lined driveway to the right of the mansion, where the gravesite is located near a swimming pool.

Heart-shaped wreaths made of red and white flowers lined the entrance to the site.

Mourners walked slowly through the tomb area, their candlelight casting shadowy figures against a stone wall.

Some teary-eyed fans laid flowers on the gravesite, where Presley’s father Vernon, mother Gladys, and grandmother Minnie Mae Hood Presley also are buried.

“This is something that Elvis would never, ever have believed could have taken place here,” she said.

Elvis admirers from around the United States and the globe have flocked each anniversary to Graceland to celebrate his life and career. His abrupt death at 42 shocked legions of fans still mesmerized by his singing, sex appeal and on-stage charisma.

Question: I don’t like the way my son and his wife are raising their kids.

I don’t want to interfere, but shouldn’t I have a say in what’s good for my own grandchildren?

Juli: There is an excellent chance that your son and daughter-inlaw know that you have some concerns about how they’re raising your grandkids.

Young parents harbour a lot of doubts of their own and quickly pick up the vibe when a close friend or relative disapproves of their parenting.

Your son and his wife are likely to be more defensive and withdrawn from you the more they pick up on your concerns.

Whether or not you realize it, you potentially have a fair amount of influence in their parenting.

They may even welcome your perspective and opinion — but only if they first feel safe with you.

Influence is a tricky thing.

When you overreach with it, you lose it.

A lot of parents and in-laws are too forceful with their opinions and unsolicited advice.

This causes a young couple to distance themselves in order to ward off potential criticism.

Your greatest influence is your presence with your son, his wife and children.

Even if you never mention your concerns or offer advice, the way you carry yourself, show unconditional love, and how you model your character will leave a tremendous impression.

My encouragement to you is to build a trusting relationship, particularly with your daughter-inlaw.

Find ways that you can genuinely compliment her as a wife and mother, remembering that motherhood can, at times, be an exhausting marathon.

Show her that you care about her as a person, and as difficult as it may be, let go of your concerns for now.

The day will come when she is desperate for a word of advice or wisdom.

She’s far more likely to seek you out if you have built a trusting relationship than if she feels threatened by your disapproval.

Question: My family recently joined a church.

My elderly father has no use for religion, and he’s trying to convince my kids that they’re wasting their time.

Should I prevent them from seeing their grandpa?

Jim: We’d advise that you set firm boundaries with your father and make it clear that it’s your right and responsibility to oversee your children’s spiritual growth.

He doesn’t have to like the fact that they’re attending church with you, but he needs to respect your decision.

At the same time, I can empathize with your desire to maintain a good relationship with him, especially for the sake of your kids.

Growing up, I didn’t have any grandparents.

There’s evidence my mom and dad may have been part of the witness protection program (no joke!), and so extended family was nonexistent.

I would have loved nothing more than to have someone to call “Grandma” and “Grandpa.”

With that in mind, it would be tragic if you and your kids were to become estranged from your dad over this issue.

The challenge, then, is to arrive at a point of compromise.

Make it clear to your dad that you love and respect him, and that you want your kids to be able to spend quality time with their grandpa.

But also make it clear that you need to make your own choices as a parent, and that if he has concerns about your

KLEIN Sylvia It is with heavy hearts and immense sadness that we announce that Sylvia “passed through the doors of this world into the arms of angels” on August 14th, 2012 at the age of 51 at the Red Deer Hospice with her loving family at her side. She lost her two and a half year fight against ovarian cancer but never lost her determined spirit. Our time with her was cut far too short and we will dearly miss her love and passion for life and family. She is our symbol of strength. Sylvia was born on August 27th, 1960 in Mayerthorpe, Alberta.

She met Steve and they married in 1979 raising a family of t h r e e s o n s ; E r i c ( Ta r a ) , Nicholaus (Christine), Gavin (Jee), one daughter Courtney (James) and two grandchildren Morgan and Lacie. She was dedicated to her work as a Unit Secretary on Unit 32.

She loved getting out to see her grandchildren and friends, as well as kayaking, camping and gardening with a fondness for skipping stones. She is survived by her immediate family as well as her sisters Marion (Allan) Claybrook and Iris (Craig) Smith and her brothers Udo (Linda) Sauerborn and Martin Sauerborn as well as numerous nieces, nephews, brothers and sisters in-law and countless friends. In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Sylvia may be made to the Central Alberta Cancer Clinic “Patient Financial Assistance Program” or The Lending Cupboard Society of Alberta.

After a private family interment on Saturday a Celebration of Life will be held at the Red Deer Lodge on Sunday August 19th, 2012 at 2:00 p.m.

Card Of Thanks

MYER It is with great sorrow we say goodbye to Larry (Lawrence) Earl Myer. Larry was born May 9, 1942 in High River.

He passed away on August 11, 2012 in Red Deer, after a courageous battle with cancer.

His strength and courage enabled him to stay strong and work up to and including his final day. As always, Larry approached his illness like any other challenge in his life. Hard work, perseverance, strength and you will achieve.

Larry was predeceased by his parents, Grace and Jones Myer, his loving wife of 43 years, Carol Elaine Myer (Smith). He is survived by his daughter Coreena, his son Dean, his grandson’s Anthony and Cody. His sister Sharon, brother Brian and numerous family members. Larry always lived life to the fullest, on the edge and with great passion. This passion always shone thru when it came to his dogs, horses, pony chucks and his trucks. His other passions included curling, golfing, stock car racing, and his auctions. He worked in the oilpatch until his passing, starting out on the rigs, then moving onto oilfeild trucking, always buying and selling on the side. He worked hard and played equally hard up to his last day. Larry lived large and always did it his way. The family would like to ask you to join in the Celebration of Larry’s life on August 21, 2012 at 2 pm. in the Harvest Center at Westerner Park, Red Deer, Alberta. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Cancer Society or the Diabetes Association.

JACK AND BRENDA would like to thank family and friends for making our day specail and for all the gifts received.

Thanks..........The Blakelys YOUNG I would like to thank my family for the wonderful party they organized and for the many friends who shared their time to make my day so very special. Thank you so very much.

Daydreaming saves your brain

DRS. OZ AND ROIZEN ● Less stress. There haven’t been official studies about what happens to your blood pressure, heart rate and stress-hormone levels while you daydream, but studies of related types of time off, particularly mindful meditation, have been shown to bust your stress, reduce your blood pressure, ease your pain and bolster your immune system. ● These days, we’re not coming close to the downtime we need to be our most brilliant selves (it’s digital device overload, again). So here are four effective ways to give your brain some needed R&R today: Let it all go for 12 minutes. If you’re stuck — can’t finish that report or figure out a tricky home repair — walk around, look out the window, grab a healthy snack.

When you come back to the task at hand, you’ll be 41 percent more creative.

Take your mind outside. Letting your brain wander outdoors (while you walk, sit by the lake at a local park, contemplate the trees from your deck, patio or window) seems to amplify the benefits. Soaking up natural sights, sounds and smells of the great outdoors is proven to lower blood pressure, soothe stress, reduce levels of the high-anxiety hormone cortisol and calm your heart rate.

Leave your smart phone at home. For a real brain

Accidental injury rates double among aboriginal kids compared to others: study

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — A new report says aboriginal children suffer from unintentional injuries serious enough to require hospitalization at twice the rate of other kids in Canada.

The Statistics Canada report is based on five years of national data gathered from 2001-2002 to 2005-2006. Figures for Quebec were not included in the analysis.

During that time, Canadian acute-care hospitals discharged 117,605 children and youth aged 19 and younger who were treated for an unintentional injury.

The report says falls and land transportation injuries were the main reasons that children were sent to hospital.

But gaps in the rates of injuries due to fires, natural environmental causes, and drowning or suffocation were greater when rates among aboriginal children were compared to other kids.

Hospitalizations among boys were more common than among girls. But the differences in the rates of injuries among aboriginal girls compared to other girls were greater than the differences between aboriginal and non-aboriginal boys.

BUMBO INFANT FLOOR SEATS RECALLED FOLLOWING SKULL FRACTURES

OTTAWA — More than 4.6 million Bumbo Baby Seats are being recalled in North America, including about 342,000 in Canada, after reports of infant skull fractures.

Health Canada says babies can arch their backs and flip or manoeuvre out of the Bumbo floor seat, posing a risk of serious injuries or fall.

About one million of the moulded foam seats were recalled in October 2007 for additional warning labels against placing the Bumbo seats on raised surfaces, such as tables or kitchen counters.

Health Canada says since that recall it has received five reports

of incidents related to the seats, three of them resulting in minor injury.

In the U.S., the Consumer Product Safety Commission and Bumbo International of South Africa have learned of at least 50 incidents in which babies fell from Bumbo seats while they were being used on raised surfaces.

CPSC says another 34 babies fell from the seats while they were being used on the floor or at an unknown elevation. In all, there were 21 reports of skull fractures to infants.

Canadian consumers are asked to stop using the seats and contact Bumbo for a free repair kit that includes a restraint belt and instructions on how to safely use the seat.

The repair kit can be ordered by visiting www.bumbocanada. com. or calling 1-866-477-5144.

In a statement, the company said it was adding a restraint belt to enhance the safety of children using the Bumbo seat.

“The restraint belt will help prevent children from getting out of or falling from the seat when it is used as intended: on the floor with adult supervision and never on raised surfaces,” said the statement. “The health and safety of children using the Bumbo Baby Seat are our top priorities.”

Health Canada says the recalled Bumbo floor seats were sold from August 2003 through August 2012 at various children’s stores nationwide and online retailers.

Health Canada reviewing safety of magnetic beads sold as novelty items

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Health Canada says it is reviewing the safety of magnetic beads sold as novelty items.

The department says the powerful magnets contained in the beads pose a safety risk if accidentally swallowed by children.

Health Canada is aware of two serious incidents in Canada involving children who swallowed these types of beads.

And it says there have been many reports from other jurisdictions of children requiring emergency surgery to remove magnetic beads they have ingested.

FINANCIAL SERVICES MANAGER Duties include arranging financing for vehicle purchasers and the sale of insurance products, extended warranties and vehicle appearance protection products. Business office experience preferred, but will train the right candidate.

Lucrative compensation plan based on salary and commission, excellent work environment and benefits. Only high performance candidates need apply.

Unintentional injuries are what most people would describe as accidents — events in which there is no intent to harm. Drug reactions and injuries caused by medical errors were not included in the analysis, nor where injuries that caused death.

The Statistics Canada analysts used postal code information, which meant they weren’t directly comparing aboriginal children to non-aboriginal children.

Rather, they compared injury rates among children who lived in areas with a high concentration (more than 33 per cent) of people of First Nations, Metis or Inuit origin to children who lived in areas where there was a low concentration of people from any of those groups.

They found children and youth who lived in areas where there was a low percentage of aboriginals were hospitalized for injuries at a rate of 37.1 per 10,000 person-years.

In areas where many First Nations, Metis or Inuit people lived, the rates were 85.9, 88.2 and 83 respectively.

The report notes that unintentional injury is the leading cause of death and disability among Canadian children, and can have life-long health consequences for children who survive them.

Massive product recall

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

Mehmet Oz, M.D. is host of The Dr. Oz Show, and Mike Roizen, M.D. is Chief Medical Officer at the Cleveland Clinic Wellness Institute. For more information go to www.RealAge.com.

The department says if a child swallowed more than one of these powerful magnets, they could twist the intestines and create blockages that could prove to be fatal.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recently asked companies to stop the production, importation, distribution or sale of sets of small, powerful, individual magnets following a number of incidents in the United States.

Health Canada product safety inspectors are currently visiting toy stores and other retailers across the country to get a sense of how these products are marketed.

The information gathered will be used by the department in its assessment of these magnetic beads.

break, let the world go away. Ringing, beeping, buzzing mobile devices boost stress, break any daydreaming spell and dilute the benefits.

Feel stuck in real-world worries? Try this easy meditation. Lie down or sit with good posture in a quiet place.

Breathe in through your nose slowly for four seconds. As you breathe in, your belly button should be moving away from your spine — the result of your diaphragm pulling air into your lungs. When your lungs feel nice and full, exhale slowly through an open mouth. This should take about eight seconds.

You should notice your belly button pulling toward your spine as you exhale. Let thoughts float away.

Continue for 12 minutes. Ahhhh!

So, you want to boost your creativity, calm your blood pressure, melt stress and raise the happiness quotient of your closest relationships?

Don’t do anything — just haul out the hammock, pour a tall glass of iced tea (unsweetened, of course) and send your gray cells off on a mini-vacation.

You might want to post a “do not disturb” sign nearby so that nobody interrupts your daydreaming, because this state of mind is earning new respect for a slew of surprising benefits: ● Better problem-solving. When Canadian researchers watched brain scans of people as they daydreamed, they discovered that their brain’s “executive networks” (the areas that govern decision-making and analysis) lit up like Christmas trees when they weren’t thinking about anything in particular.

These networks are a combo of high-powered brain areas that work together to find answers to tricky questions.

Daydreaming gives the networks a chance to look in on whatever’s bugging you or intriguing you. This explains why some of the world’s biggest discoveries — from gravity and the Post-It note to the Barbie doll — happened when creative types kicked back and took their minds off their everyday problems and chores. ● Closer relationships. Yeah, fuming about how your significant other left a wet towel on the bathroom floor or that your kids (again) forgot to empty the trash cans will never count as true relationshipbuilding experiences.

But daydreaming about the good stuff — things you’ve done or would like to do together — produces more of the “glue” that bonds happy marriages and makes friendships and parent-child relationships tight. (Yes, fantasizing about intimate relations with your partner also can be a relationship-enhancer.) ● More compassion.

Daydreaming increases compassion and a sense of your connection with others, perhaps because this process exercises parts of your gray matter that get neglected when you’re focusing on the hustle-bustle of daily life.
