‘Aggressive’ cleanup underway PIPELINE SPILLED 300,000 LITRES OF CONTAMINATED WATER IN AREA CANOLA FIELD Photo by RANDY FIEDLER/Advocate staff

BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF The cleanup continues on a contaminated water spill east of Red Deer — but questions remain about why the Penn West Exploration pipeline broke on Tuesday.

Up to 20 workers continued on Thursday to use vacuum trucks to suck up water from a farmer’s canola field at the spill site near Joffre.

“They are working aggressively,” said Greg Moffatt, Penn West’s manager of government and industry relations.

He added that more than a third of the 300,000-litre spill, or about 120,000 litres, has been recovered so far. The surface area of the spill was estimated to cover about 200,000 square metres of the field.

Moffatt expects the vacuum trucks will be out there for a few more days.

Penn West then intends to have soil at

Workers with the aid of a trackhoe clean up contaminated soil from a pipeline spill just north of Township Road 38-4 and west of Freedom Road in the Joffre area Thursday. Nearly 2,000 barrels of mostly contaminated water from a leaking Penn West Exploration pipeline soaked a canola field. the site tested.

CAT deep in debt

Fort McMurray provincial court.

On May 21, 2008, Cassell underwent emergency neurosurgery after a CT scan showed bleeding on his brain. His condition deteriorated and he died the same day. On May 8, Cassell had been detained in police custody, and then assessed at hospital after complaints of severe headache. He was discharged on May 9.

Red Deer’s oldest community theatre company is more than $700,000 in debt and is calling for the public’s support to keep from folding.

Central Alberta Theatre’s business manager put out a press release on Thursday that confirms months of rumours about the group being on the financial edge, due to major cost overruns in remodelling City Centre Stage theatre.

After pouring hundred of thousands of dollars into the downtown former movie-house-turned-live theatre, CAT, ironically, can no longer afford to use it.

“We’re behind on rent payments on the City Centre Stage, and as we can’t keep using something we’re not paying for, we’ve moved the new season of plays back to the Memorial Centre and CAT studios (which CAT has long operated) — for now,” said Randy Nicholls, CAT’s business manager.

CAT is still planning to put on six comedies this season.

SPILL: Full extent of damage unknown The company also tested the leaked liquid and found it to be not too saline.

“No spill is a good spill, but this one should be relatively easy to mitigate,” said Moffatt.

The full extent of the environmental damage has not yet been assessed by Penn West or the Alberta Energy Resources Conservation Board, which is investigating.

Moffatt said the company also still needs to dig down to examine the pipeline to determine what caused the leak.

“Once the (water) pool is removed we will take soil samples and then return the land to its pre-spill state.” lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

INQUIRIES: Presided over by provincial judges The inquiries into the deaths of Craig Christians, 43, of Stettler and Richard David Jacknife, 47, of Red Deer are among two of 43 hearings across the province that are waiting for scheduling, according to Alberta Justice and Solicitor General’s website.

On May 5, 2007, Christians was driving on a highway in his taxi cab when he failed to make a slight turn and drove head-on into an oncoming truck.

On Nov. 4, 2010, Jacknife, who was confined to a wheelchair, fell down a basement stairwell at his group home in Red Deer. He was transported to hospital, where he died on Nov. 11, 2010.

The fatality inquiry into the death of Bowden Institution inmate David Tung Louie, 38, of Innisfail is pending resolution of criminal matters. Tung was stabbed during an altercation with other inmates.

He died on June 19, 2011.

Ambler urges anyone who’s seen anything suspicious at Windy Point between Aug. 16 and 19 to contact Rocky RCMP. Young was originally from Ontario, but travelled extensively, including to Australia and Nepal, before taking a job at the Nordegg youth hostel, where he was manager from 2006 to the time of his death. Ambler said Young died of injuries and hypothermia after falling into a deep crevasse while backcountry skiing with friends on the Columbia Icefields last year.

The report also indicated the woman had high levels of cocaine in her system. No recommendations were made to prevent similar deaths.

Provincial court judges preside over the hearings and may make recommendations to prevent similar incidents. After an inquiry, the judge releases a written report.

The judge, however, does not determine legal responsibility.

A fatal inquiry cannot begin until all investigations, criminal charges and appeal matters have been resolved.

Mandatory inquiries under the Fatality Inquiries Act may include the death of a person who dies in police custody, on and off correctional institution premises, as a result of the use of force by a peace officer while on duty, deaths of involuntary mental hospital patients and deaths of foster children.

Inquiries will be held in all cases, unless the Fatality Review Board is satisfied the death was due to natural causes. Other mandatory cases under the act may include accidental deaths and deaths resulting from the use or abuse of alcohol and drugs. crhyno@reddeeradvocate.com

town theatre renovation, CAT has had to cover the overhead costs of running two theatres (City Centre Stage and the Memorial Centre).

But since CAT’s newest board, which started on July 1st, immediately had to lay off staff, the Memorial Centre can only take limited bookings, which will impact revenues.

In a recent letter to CAT’s members, the board revealed the society, started in 1970, can’t afford to make all its monthly commitments.

Money is owed to builders, the bank, the City Centre Stage landlord, and a number of other creditors. The society has more than $700,000 in combined debts. A City of Red Deer loan of $40,000 towards a sprinkler system was paid back, however.

CAT’s board intends to meet this weekend to come up with a business plan to turn the situation around.

Lawrence Hobbs, CAT’s vice-president, said the province, city and other institutions want to be supportive with loans and grants, but need to see a sustainable business model first.

Red Deer Mayor Morris Flewwelling wants to see the group survive, saying CAT has been a great fiscal success for more than 40 years. “It’s very important to the community” and has been a great partner in operating the Memorial Centre, which is used by local and out-of-town performers, he added.

CAT not only provides entertainment, but also volunteering opportunities for many people. “They’re going to need a major city-wide effort to pull it together,” predicted Flewwelling. “But I believe the community will be supportive.”

Hobbs stressed that CAT needs big audiences this season to make the plays and fundraisers successful. “First (we need to) bring in funds for immediate needs and, secondly, to show everyone that Red Deer actually cares about keeping its last remaining adult theatre group alive.”

While Red Deer College continues to offer regular plays and musicals, many other local theatre groups have either folded (Ignition Theatre), offer only sporadic fare (Prime Stock Theatre), or have a reduced repertoire (Against the Wall Theatre started with some dramas but now solely offers on-going Bull Skit! comedy nights).

Haper names Aglukkaq chair of Artic Council

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CAMBRIDGE BAY, Nunavut — The federal health minister will lead the international Arctic Council next year as it grapples with whether to allow other countries at the table.

Canada assumes leadership of the eight-nation body in 2013, and the prime minister announced Thursday in Nunavut that Leona Aglukkaq is his choice as Canada’s official ambassador.

Aglukkaq will remain as health minister as she also takes on responsibilities for developing and delivering the council’s program between 2013 and 2015, Stephen Harper said. “(It) is not because she is minister

of health, but because she is a minister that represents northern Canada,” Harper said after a speech at a Cambridge Bay school.

“And it’s important that northern Canada be the one that really leads this exercise.”

Aglukkaq is also the MP from Nunavut and banners welcoming her home hung at a community feast on Wednesday night.

Aglukkaq said her role will be to work in co-operation with the members but also to advance Canada’s agenda.

“I’m from the Arctic and I’m going to bring that knowledge to the table as someone who is born and raised up here,” she said.

Chairmanship of the council rotates through all member countries, and

Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Laureen Harper and Minister of Health Leona Aglukkaq(right) laugh during an announcement in Cambridge Bay, Nunavut, Thursday. Aglukkaq was named as the next Chair of the Arctic Council.

Canada’s next turn marks the end of the first complete rotation since the council was founded in Ottawa in 1996.

Canada takes over from Sweden and the other members include Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, the Russian Federation and the United States.

But as melting ice and a global thirst for resources have made the Arctic a lucrative environment, other countries are angling for a seat at the table as official observers.

Key among them is China and the European Union, both countries that are high on Canada’s list of trading partners.

Canada has nixed the EU’s bid once before because of its ban on seal products.

Some aboriginal leaders are also worried that if other countries join, they will dilute the voices of the First Nations and Inuit groups who have permanent seats at the table, though no votes.

“There is a process in place and we will work through that process,” Aglukkaq said of how new observers will be chosen.

Canada is also likely to come under pressure to try to broaden the council’s mandate to include security issues.

The announcement came as Harper visited Cambridge Bay, a community of about 1,500 people.

He had tried to visit two years ago on his annual Northern tour but the trip was called off because of bad weather.

On that tour, Harper announced Cambridge Bay as the site of a new Canadian High Arctic Research station.

The facility is behind schedule, but Harper also announced Thursday that a Quebec-based design team has been selected.

Residents have also been waiting to see how much money has been allocated for the centre.

Harper said $142.4 million over six years has been committed for the construction and fit-up of the station, and

an additional $46.2 million for a science and technology program related to its work.

Another $26.5 million per year has been set aside, as of 2018-19, for the continuing program and operations of the station.

Nunvaut Premier Eva Aariak said the new station will bring together scientific and traditional knowledge.

“This combination is essential as Arctic communities deal with the climate change and the impact that are already affecting our environment, economy and our people,” she said.

But the community also needs the economic spin-off potential from the station, said Charlie Evalik, the president of the Kitikmeot Inuit Association.

“A lot of research and everything like that still needs to be done in terms of where the wildlife is as well as the fish as well as mineral potential are in the region,” he said. “That will assist in terms of making informed decisions that’s going to be required for the economic development that should be happening in Nunavut.”

It also provides incentive for young people to get educated so they can work there, he suggested.

The centre is scheduled to open in 2017.

But in the meantime, communities in Nunavut are grappling with soaring food prices, unemployment and health issues. A recent Statistics Canada survey suggested that youth who live in the Inuit homelands are roughly five times more likely to die than their counterparts in the rest of Canada.

When asked what message he’d have for communities struggling with the realities of life in the North, Harper said they should know the government is focused on their needs.

Science, growing economic development, tourism, housing investments — all are geared to making sure opportunity improves in the North, Harper said.

Pilot error likely to blame Operation Haystack targeting rats living in Alberta in hang-gliding death THE CANADIAN PRESS AGASSIZ, B.C. — One day after an independent review concluded pilot error was likely to blame for a deadly hang-gliding accident, Mounties have announced they are continuing their own investigation into the tragedy.

RCMP Const. Tracy Wolbeck said in a news release issued Thursday that police have reviewed a memory card thought to be related to the April 28 tandem hang-gliding death of 27-year-old Lenami Godinez-Avila.

Godinez-Avila fell about 300 metres, moments after taking off with pilot William Orders from Mount Woodside in Agassiz, B.C. The flight was purchased by her boyfriend who wanted to mark the couple’s two-year anniversary and was watching and waiting for his own turn when the tragedy occurred.

“We are not in a position to discuss the content of the information that has been retrieved from the card as this is evidence that could potentially be before the court,” said Wolbeck.

Wolbeck said the evidence could be used in the April 15, 2013 trial of Orders, who was charged with obstruction of justice for allegedly swallowing the card from his camera after the accident.

He does not face any other charges. He had been held in custody after the incident until the memory card passed through his system.

Orders’ lawyer, Laird Cruickshank, could not be reached for comment.

Late Wednesday, the Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association of Canada announced that its own investigation determined human error, not weather or faulty

equipment, caused the tragedy.

According to the report, the passenger’s harness was not connected to the glider during take off, and a “hang-check” was not performed, even though Orders had taken a tandem re-certification course just weeks before.

“The investigation was unable to determine the reason for the omission of the critical prelaunch safety checks,” it stated.

The report notes, though, that multiple distractions may have resulted in a breakdown of standard operating procedures.

Bruce Busby, vicepresident of the association, said Orders was celebrating his 50th birthday on the day of the tragedy and his daughter was watching.

Godinez-Avila and her boyfriend were also participating in flights at

the time.

The association’s investigation came to the conclusions after examining the passenger’s and pilot’s harnesses, the glider and talking to witnesses, said Busby who noted Orders is a member of the association but is currently suspended.

The report didn’t include statements from Orders Following the accident, Orders issued a statement through Cruickshank, apologizing to Godinez-Avila’s family and friends as well as the general public.

He also told reporters in May that he was under “overwhelming stress” after the accident.

Orders said his goal was to give Godinez-Avila an “amazing adventure and lots of smiles, but because he failed in such a major way,” he has decided never to return to hang gliding.

MEDICINE HAT, Alta.

— Officials in southern Alberta have launched a new offensive in their ongoing war on rats, but believe it will take two years before they can completely wipe out the rascally rodents.

The new strategy, dubbed “Operation Haystack,” will see baited, poisoned hay bales dropped around Medicine Hat to stop the flow of the vermin from the city’s dump.

A nest of Norway rats was discovered at the landfill earlier this month, sparking panic and headlines across the province. Alberta had previously boasted its rat-free status for more than 50 years.

Since finding the nest, the city reported the spread of rats into its neighbourhoods.

Residents have called in dozens of sightings, with some taking photos as

evidence.

Ed Jollymore, Medicine Hat’s waste manager, said Thursday that staff have killed 95 rats in the city since Aug. 9.

He expects it will take two months to destroy the nest at the dump. But the pests are bound to keep showing up.

“This is going to be a process of years,” Jollymore said.

“They still have a tendency to pop up, come back and we’re looking at probably having to stay on a heightened alert for two years.”

Operation Haystack

is no Mickey Mouse scheme. Hay bales will be strategically placed around the city. They will contain poison that doesn’t harm people or pets.

“What we are looking at is providing a rats’ high-end, first-rate accommodations, where they will have good comfort, protection, food and water,” Jollymore said.

The city earlier set baited traps and used high-definition cameras to track the rats. It then set bull snakes loose in the landfill to feast on the critters.

Putting value on ecology Much of the foundation of the province’s economy over the next several decades rests deep in the oilsands of northeastern Alberta, down the conventional oil and gas wells that dot our landscape, in the thousands of kilometres of pipelines that snake around this province like so many arteries, on the fertile fields and abundant forests.

But until now, the province has done a spotty, myopic job of managing the relationship between resource development, industrial activity of any number of other kinds (including farming) and environmental protection in general.

The fact that significant steps are being taken in the region around Fort McMurray should not divert our attention from environmental concerns around Alberta, and the miserable job the provincial government has historically done in managing disasters — or preventing them in the first place.

Ask the people who live around Pine Lake, and those whose livelihood depends on the health of the lake. The algae bloom that has been reported this week — not nearly for the first time — is a sign that natural resource protection is not nearly a priority for

OURVIEW JOHN STEWART the province. For decades, the lake has been beset by periodic algae problems, in great part because of nutrient runoff from neighbouring farms.

The Pine Lake Restoration Society has done a great deal to mitigate the effects of human activity around the lake.

But greater responsibility should rest with the province to protect the lake, and others like it.

Ask the people who live in the Sundre region about the June 7 Plains Midstream Canada pipeline leak into the Red Deer River. Or all the users of the river downstream, now and into the future.

The work to clean up the oil mess will cost up to $53 million, according to Plains Midstream, never mind the lives it has disrupted, the businesses it has derailed, the animals it has killed and the habitat it has destroyed.

But it has taken this most recent pipeline disaster, just one of at least three in Alberta this summer alone, to prompt the provincial government

to order third-party review of pipeline safety.

Ask those who farm the land where contaminated water has leaked into crops near Joffre this week, from a Penn West Exploration pipeline. In a year when Prairie farmers are enjoying a bumper canola crop — and a buoyant market for canola seed — the leak should be particularly galling.

But there has been at least one significant sign this week that the province is finally beginning to understand that the land cannot just be abused for economic gain.

The provincial government finally unveiled a plan that has the potential to manage economic growth in northeastern Alberta without bulldozing through fragile ecological zones.

The plan creates six new conservation areas that total three times the size of Banff National Park. The zones will provide increased protected habitat for such things as the threatened woodland caribou. And limits on air, surface and groundwater contamination will be established, through regulatory statutes.

The plan is not without its faults: it allows existing conventional oil and

gas holdings to remain in place in the protected areas, although it prohibits oilsands development. In these areas, strict limits must be placed on all development — to be enforced to the letter.

And the plan is not without its costs: it will take about $30 million to establish parks and municipal infrastructure in the area. The value of now-invalid oilsands leases in the region is at least $29 million, never mind the revenue energy firms expected to make off those leases (compensation will have to be negotiated).

In total, of course, that’s not much more money that it is costing Plains Midstream to clean up its Sundre mess.

So we should accept such costs as the price of averting future ecological disaster.

The premise for this plan, that we need “responsible long-term use planning” in the region, as Environment Minister Diana McQueen said on Wednesday, is remarkably sound.

And long overdue in a province that has too often put short-term gain over long-term sustainability.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Alberta local highways deteriorating, dangerous My husband and I drive daily from Tees to Red Deer, via Blackfalds and Hwy 597.

The upkeep of these Alberta local highways and roads has disintegrated over the past five years.

We have witnessed many truckers and unsuspecting motorists “blow over” the landmark 40 feet of highway sinking a foot from grade level a few kilometres east of Blackfalds.

For the last two years, travellers are warned by a feeble bump sign and worn-out orange markers. A picture should be in our local newspapers so everyone can see this shameful mess.

Secondly, Hwy 2A south to Red Deer is disastrous with bumper-to-bumper vehicles and big trucks most of the time. The huge inflow/outflow of traffic from Blackfalds, Lacombe and the county has multiplied traffic issues and accidents.

With growing populations of city and rural residents as well as increased industrial traffic using Blindman and Blackfalds industrial parks, backlogs and frustrations mount.

The road lines on this two-way section are almost invisible now and with the advent of fall weather, it will only get worse.

I’m sure the government’s solution to this would be to decrease the speed limit rather than upgrade the local highway.

Don’t even mention the chaos when Hwy 2 is closed for an accident!

Last week, Lacombe County gravelled (using rock chips) Lakeside Sargeant Road — a previously paved secondary highway east of Blackfalds.

They must have learned to do that from famous Saskatchewan pavement makers. Travel slow to save your windshield!

I’m sure many residents are not aware that Alberta highways used to be the best in North America, thanks to our petro dollars (from here clear to Mexico, pre-interstate 1970s).

Now, blacktop pavement with clear lines are definitely a thing of the past (except, of course, in New Brunswick, and other provinces with transfer payments coming from Albertans).

People can email newspapers, Premier Alison Redford, MLAs and their local papers about the poor status of our roads that we already pay for with our high taxes — includes upkeep.

Go to the top. Let government officials know how you feel.

Don’t forget to mention the insane weekend traffic on Hwy 2 between Edmonton and Calgary — it needs to be at least three lanes and has not been upgraded since the 1960s.

Lets get our roads fixed properly and our resident travel safely!

Why was there not a plebiscite on this? An exchange of ideas?

I am a professional driver in Red Deer and as such drive all over the city, mainly during school commuter hours.

The bike lanes on 40th Avenue, 39th Street and 55th Street will cause nothing but havoc for morning commuters.

Yes, some of this traffic is parents taking their children to school, but a lot of it is people going to work and using the main routes.

My own children rode their bikes but wouldn’t be now. It is far more dangerous to put children on the road with traffic than to have put an extra path beside the sidewalk and make that a bike lane.

All the schools in these areas have bus transportation of some kind, and this is just going to add to the confusion and congestion.

It is a poorly thought-out plan and should have had more public input before it was implemented.

40th Avenue and 55th Street are the main roads to get from Inglewood to the downtown core and across the river.

With all the buses and traffic, why would you funnel everyone into two lanes?

55th street is already so congested that sometimes in the morning you sit through a light twice before you get across.

How is putting a bike lane in going to relieve that?

All I see happening is frustrated and impatient drivers, which leads to

Managing traffic requires more than bike lanes I am writing regarding a letter that I received to protest the loss of parking in the bike lanes.

I understand the necessity for bike lanes and cyclist safety.

I have a front and rear driveway so I am not impacted by the parking issue.

I do have a bike and bike trailer so the bike lanes would benefit me. But if the lanes are parked in, it makes them more dangerous.

It is hard to back out on to the busy street with all the vehicles and overgrown hedges, as well as cyclists.

I was told by city workers on site that the bike lanes were to reduce traffic volume and speed also. If this is the case, adding traffic control measures would be a much better way to improve the situation such as: ● ramp-like speed bumps; ● pedestrian crossing lights at cross walks; ● enforcement; ● widening the sidewalks; ● more signs reminding drivers about speed limits or local traffic only signs (like Pamela Avenue).

The City of Kelowna, B.C., has made some excellent improvements to high traffic areas; for example on Franklyn Road, there is a multi-use corridor.

However, I do understand painting the lanes is the most cost effective

Canada seeing resurgence in syphilis U.S. PORN PERFORMERS ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES BEING STRICKEN AS MORE CASES BEING REPORTED WORLDWIDE

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS An outbreak of syphilis among California porn performers is perhaps not surprising, given the nature of their business. But the sexually transmitted disease isn’t a threat only to the adult entertainment industry: there’s a resurgence of syphilis worldwide — and Canada is no exception.

Indeed, cases of syphilis across the country have risen dramatically over the last two decades, spiking to more than 1,750 cases in 2010 from 177 in 1993, the most recent statistics show.

Other sexually transmitted diseases, notably chlamydia and gonorrhea, are also on the rise “I think it’s just a general indicator of what’s happening in terms of sexual activity,” said Dr. Howard Njoo of the Public Health Agency of Canada.

“For this particular sexually transmitted infection, the dynamics seem to be slightly different from others like gonorrhea and chlamydia,” said Njoo, director general of PHAC’s Centre for Communicable Diseases and Infection Control.

“For the other two it seems to be younger individuals. In this case, it tends to be older ones. For example, people age 30 and older accounted for 73 per cent of all the reported cases in 2010,” he said Thursday from Ottawa.

“The other interesting thing is the vast majority of cases are among men compared to women. In 2010, men accounted for 90.5 per cent of all the reported cases.”

Many of those were men who have sex with men, although high-risk groups also include sex-trade workers, injection-drug users and people with multiple sexual partners.

“The fact that we are seeing a resurgence really speaks to the fact that people are vulnerable,” said Dr. Vanessa Allen, a medical microbiologist at Public Health Ontario.

“And I think the idea that it is sort of a resolved issue, that it’s not really a problem anymore, I think there’s lots of evidence to show that we really are in an epidemic of syphilis,” said Allen, who tracks cases of the disease across

the province.

“It tends to not get the same attention as other infections because it is treatable. But there are consequences to not identifying it and not treating it.”

Syphilis, caused by the rod-like bacterium Treponema pallidum, has often been called “the great imitator” because many of its symptoms are similar to those of other diseases. But sometimes there are no symptoms at all.

“A lot of the infection, unfortunately, is asymptomatic, so people don’t have any symptoms,” said Allen.

That means some people, at least, can be unaware they have the infection and can unknowingly spread it to others, she said, noting that Ontario saw an 11-fold jump overall in the annual rate of cases between 2001 and 2011. For men alone, the increase in cases was 16-fold higher.

When symptoms do occur, they stay a while, then disappear, taking the infection underground, as it were.

The first sign of syphilis is often an ulcer-like bump on the skin, called a chancre, that appears 10 to 90 days after exposure. “It’s usually in the genital area, but increasingly it’s being found orally, through oral sex. Then you also can have rectal primary syphilis,” Allen said.

“But because (the chancres) are not painful, often they’re not identified, particularly in areas like the mouth,” she explained.

The next stage, called secondary syphilis, occurs when the bacteria circulate throughout the body. Symptoms can include fever, headache and a rash that can even appear on the palms of the hands or soles of the feet. The rash can be flat or raised and is often widespread; it may also take the form of pustules, or fluid-filled sacs.

“Both the primary stage and the secondary stage are when people are most contagious,” said Allen. “There’s a lot in your saliva, there’s a lot in genital secretions, so it becomes very contagious.”

That second phase lasts a couple of weeks, then symptoms disappear again. But left untreated, the bacteria

That can lead to blindness, physical disfigurement and brain damage, called neurosyphilis.

“We know that if it’s not treated, even if it goes away, there’s about a 25 to 30 per cent chance of late complications, anywhere from five to 40 years down the line, where it can involve your health and brain,” she said.

“So even though the symptoms go away, it still has the potential to develop these long-term consequences.”

Up until the development of therapeutic penicillin in the early 1940s, anyone who contracted syphilis was virtually a ticking time bomb, waiting for the disease’s nastiest symptoms to

take hold. Gangster Al Capone and artists Edouard Manet and Paul Gauguin are known to have died of the “French pox,” while Hitler, Lenin, Napoleon and Henry VIII are among the famous historical figures thought to have been infected.

Today, syphilis is still treated with penicillin, administered through intramuscular injections. Unlike gonorrhea, which has developed resistance to many standard antibiotics, syphilis remains “100 per cent sensitive to penicillin,” Allen said.

If untreated, a pregnant woman can pass the infection to her fetus, increasing the risk of having a still birth or leading to developmental problems in the child after birth.

Federal officials fret over war games in Artic

BY MURRAY BREWSTER THE CANADIAN PRESS

NATO

OTTAWA — The administrative wing of Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s office worried about the optics of hundreds of Canadian troops taking part in a major NATO-sponsored Arctic war game in northern Norway earlier this year.

Conservatives have made rebuilding the military, more international involvement and a more muscular presence in the North key policy touchstones.

But senior federal officials told the army last fall they weren’t sure the country should participate Exercise Cold Response.

The Privy Council Office “indicated concern regarding participation to a war fighting (exercise) above the Arctic Circle as it could be misconstrued to contradict (Government of Canada) policy for the Arctic,” said the Sept. 13, 2011, briefing note for the commander of the army.

The document was obtained by The Canadian Press under the access-to-information law.

It took the intervention of the assistant deputy minister of policy at National Defence to smooth the way for the army’s participation, reassuring senior government officials that were “no policy obstacles.”

Rob Huebert, an expert on Arctic defence and sovereignty, said the internal debate underscores clear divisions within the federal government about how to proceed in the North.

There are “very contradictory messages being conveyed here,” said Huebert, who teaches at the University of Calgary.

“Why do we have these political sensitivities?”

He said he wondered whether there was concern in Ottawa about offending Moscow, which has made noises about the Arctic, but is not deemed a military threat.

Harper arrived in Churchill, Man., on Thursday to attend the military’s annual sovereignty exercise, Operation Nanook.

In past years, it has included thundering photo ops with fly-pasts involving CF-18 fighter jets and other displays military prowess, including submarines, frigates and Canadian Ranger patrols.

But Huebert said the gap between the carefully choreographed photos and reality is increasing each year.

Indeed, much of the “use-it-or-lose-it” rhetoric from the early days of the Conservative administration has been slowly chipped away and replaced with a more cold-eyed economic focus.

“You see it amongst the bureaucrats. You see it amongst, I’d dare say, the politicians themselves,” Huebert said.

“There are some senior bureaucrats who do not want to address the changing strategic environment.”

For decades successive Canadian governments have talked big on the Arctic, but accomplished very little, he said.

Although the Conservative rhetoric was overblown, Huebert said, a bigger Canadian military presence, especially in search and rescue, is essential.

Indonesia, the world’s fourth largest country with its largest Muslim population, was identified by Canada as a priority country in an internal foreign policy review that Prime Minister Stephen Harper ordered Baird to undertake last year.

Natalegawa said the feeling is mutual about Canada.

But Indonesia is decidedly less enthusiastic about pursuing a play in Canada’s oil and gas sector compared with some of its neighbours in the broader Asian neighbourhood.

Natalegawa said his country is more interested in developing new sources of sustainable energy.

40547H24,31

OTTAWA — Indonesia is eager to boost trade with Canada, but the South Asian country isn’t interested in two of the Harper government’s top priorities — pursuing a free trade deal or buying Alberta oilsands crude.

Nonetheless, Indonesian Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa was unenthusiastic Thursday about boosting trade as he arrived in Ottawa for talks with his counterpart John Baird.

Natalegawa was quick to point out that trade between the two countries soared 60 per cent in the last year, saying there is plenty of room to boost volume and diversify, without a formal trade pact between the two countries.

“But even absent a free trade agreement, the reality is the trade figures and the trade trends (for) our two countries have been very positive over the past year,” he told The Canadian Press in an interview.

“So let’s focus on what we can do at the moment.

That idea of a free trade agreement is something that’s still way ahead of us.”

Two-way trade between Indonesia and Canada, though climbing fast, is still at a low volume of about $3 billion a year. Natalegawa declined to give a target on boosting that figure.

The Conservative government has been vigorous about pursuing free trade deals with China, India, the European Union and host of smaller countries.

It has also made boosting trade with Asia a major priority, especially after the Obama administration delayed the Keystone XL pipeline project that would have carried oilsands crude to southern U.S.

Indonesia seeks deeper trade with Canada

A number of military initiatives in the North, including the construction of Arctic patrol ships and the establishment of a deep water port in Nanisivik, Nunavut are years behind schedule.

The Canadian army has placed a lot of stock in the government’s Arctic posture, setting aside substantial amounts of training time and dollars toward cold-weather operations.

The transition from the dusty, Taliban-invested laneways of Kandahar to the frigid, wide-open tundra has been difficult, underscored last spring in an internal report that stated there were not enough parkas for winter exercises.

The military has also had to juggle the training budget.

At the height of the Afghan war in 2009-10, the army spent $123 million on training, including a special $79 million cash injection specifically for Kandahar.

That figure fell to $57 million last year and is down to an estimated $46 million this year.

Roughly 800 soldiers from the 1st Battalion Royal Canadian Regiment, in Petawawa, Ont., eventually did take part in Exercise Cold Response last March.

They formed one contingent in the overall exercise involving 16,000 troops from the U.S., Britain, France, Norway, the Netherlands and Sweden.

The exercise, which has been held regularly since 2006, coincided this year with the election — or reelection — of Vladimir Putin as Russian president.

Reaction from Moscow clearly indicated that the Kremlin saw the NATO-Swedish training as provocative, especially since it came on the heels of a Canadian sovereignty exercise in February known as ’Arctic Ram.’

BRIEFS

New Democrat MP to resign her Victoria seat for personal reasons OTTAWA — New Democrat MP Denise Savoie is resigning her seat in the House of Commons.

She is set to announce her resignation shortly at her Victoria constituency office, accompanied by NDP Leader Tom Mulcair.

Sources say Savoie, 69, is stepping aside for personal reasons.

She was first elected in 2006 and serves as deputy Speaker in the Commons.

Savoie’s resignation will leave the NDP with 101 seats.

TORONTO — Federal lawyers say Conrad Black may try to “re-litigate” his U.S. criminal convictions if allowed to orally argue before an advisory council reviewing his membership in the Order of Canada.

Black, 67, is asking Federal Court to force the advisory council to allow him to present his case in person as it decides whether to recommend revocation of the prestigious award he received in 1990.

Documents filed in court prior to Black’s hearing Friday show government lawyers plan to argue there is no legal reason the former media magnate can’t limit himself to making written arguments.

They say the order’s 11-member council is not the right venue if Black intends to use his appearance to argue it should “reconsider the merits” of his convictions as part of the review process.

The council can recommend members of the order be stripped of their status, but the final decisions rests with Canada’s Governor General.

Black was convicted in the U.S. of fraud and obstruction of justice while he was head of media giant

Hollinger International.

He served 37 months of a 42-month sentence, but contends he was victimized by the American justice system, and that Canadian courts would never have convicted him.

New project aims to try again to find lost Franklin expedition ships CAMBRIDGE BAY, Nunavut — The search for the lost ships of the ill-fated Franklin expedition continues.

A new research project was announced today by the prime minister in Nunavut, where the ships are believed to have sunk.

The HMS Erebus and HMS Terror set out from England in 1845 to find the Northwest Passage but they ended up trapped in ice the next year, and after some of the surviving crew set out on foot in 1848, they were never heard from again.

Previous attempts to find the ships have been unsuccessful, but the searches have at least ruled out where they aren’t.

Chemical weapons will not be used: Russia SYRIA’S ALLY SAYS IT HAS GUARANTEES FROM ASSAD REGIME

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MOSCOW — Russia is working closely with the Syrian government to ensure that its arsenal of chemical weapons remains under firm control and has won promises that the weapons of mass destruction will not be used or moved, Moscow’s point man on Syria told The Associated Press on Thursday.

The potential use of chemical weapons in the Syrian conflict has put Russia, the Syrian regime’s steadfast ally, in a rare point of agreement with the United States, which has pressured Syrian President Bashar Assad to step down in the face of an armed uprising.

Russia has shielded Assad’s regime from U.N. sanctions and continued to provide it with weapons throughout the 18-month conflict, which activists estimate has killed more than 20,000 people. In July, Syria first acknowledged its possession of chemical weapons by threatening to use them if foreign states tried to interfere militarily.

President Barack Obama said Monday that the United States might have to intervene in Syria if the government there used or moved chemical weapons.

Obama also warned of the threat of such weapons falling into the hands of rebels fighting the government or militant groups aiding either side.

Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov said Russia is in full agreement with the Americans on the need to prevent Assad’s government from using the weapons or allowing them to slip out from under its control.

“We have guarantees from the Syrian government that it will not take any steps involving chemical weapons,” the Russian diplomat said. “And I want to reiterate that on this issue we will restrain it in all ways possible and work toward the goal of preventing such things from happening.”

He said the Foreign Ministry was in constant contact with U.S. officials, pointing to last week’s visit by Under Secretary of State Wendy Sherman.

While in Moscow, Sherman urged the Russians to make clear to Assad that the use of chemical weapons would have disastrous consequences and delivered the message that if the weapons were used, the Russians would be expected to help with the cleanup, according to a U.S. official. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because of a lack of authorization to discuss the details of the visit.

Russia, meanwhile, is counting on the United States and others to use their influence with opposition forces to prevent the chemical weapons from falling into the hands of terrorists, Gatilov said.

“As we all know, among the opposition are terrorist elements, in particular belonging to al-Qaida,” he said. “Of course, if all of a sudden, as a result of some actions, these weapons were to fall into the hands of terrorists who could take a totally irresponsible attitude toward them, this would be a very serious development.”

A senior Syrian government official, in Moscow for talks on Tuesday, said Obama’s warning indicated that the West was looking for a pretext to intervene in Syria. Deputy Prime Minister Qadri Jamil drew a comparison with the invasion of Iraq in 2003, which the Bush administration justified by claiming, falsely as it turned out, that Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction.

Thousands of Syrians who have been displaced by the country’s civil are struggling to find safe shelter while shelling and airstrikes by government forces continue. is different, Gatilov noted, because Syria has chemical weapons. After the Assad regime’s announcement in July, Russia pointedly reminded Syria that it had ratified a global convention banning the use of chemical weapons.

Russia has staunchly opposed demands for Assad to step down and called for talks between the Syrian regime and its foes, arguing that only the Syrian people have a right to determine the future of their country. But Syrian opposition leaders have refused to take part in negotiations until Assad gives up power.

“As to the Russian position, we never put forward as a condition the demand that Assad should go or,

equally, we never said that Assad should stay,” Gatilov said.

He said Russia works with Syria’s government and meets with visiting representatives of opposition groups.

“Regrettably, we have to state that we haven’t seen our Western partners working as actively with the opposition, encouraging it to join a political dialogue,” he said. “We would like to hope that, at least on the subject of chemical weapons, they will take a rather more responsible attitude to this. We all understand that chemical weapons should not be used or fall into the hands of those groups who will not be controlled in their actions.”

Als win on late game heroics LANCE ARMSTRONG

NO FIGHT LEFT AUSTIN, Texas — Lance Armstrong says he will no longer fight charges from the U.S. AntiDoping Agency that he used performanceenhancing drugs during his unprecedented cycling career, a decision that could put his string of seven Tour de France titles at risk. Armstrong says he is innocent, but announced Thursday night that he has decided against fighting USADA because he is weary of the doping accusations that have dogged him for years. His decision could lead to a lifetime ban from cycling and perhaps the loss of the Tour titles he won from 1999-2005. USADA says Armstrong used banned substances dating to 1996, including the blood-booster EPO and steroids, as well as blood transfusions.

WHYTE KICKS LAST SECOND 37 YARD FIELD GOAL TO CAP FOURTH QUARTER COMEBACK OVER TICATS

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Montreal 31 Hamilton 29 MONTREAL — Sean Whyte delivered the one 40th birthday present Montreal Alouettes quarterback Anthony Calvillo wanted above all.

Whyte kicked a 37-yard field goal as time expired and Montreal extended its winning streak to three with a 31-29 victory over the Hamilton TigerCats on Thursday.

Montreal scored 13 points in the fourth quarter, including a three-yard touchdown run by Brandon Whitaker and a 17-yard field goal by Whyte which put the Alouettes up 28-26 at 12:09.

Hamilton’s Luca Congi kicked his fifth field goal of the game with 1:22 remaining, a 47-yarder to put the Tiger-Cats up 29-28.

Whyte’s third field goal came at the end of an eight-play, 45-yard drive that began with a 12-yard run by Calvillo.

“Everything happens so quickly out there,” Whyte said.

“One minute you’re on the sideline, the next you’re out there kicking the ball. You don’t really have time to get nervous.

Everybody did their job tonight. A.C. did an awesome job of leading the gang down the field to get us in easy field goal range.”

The Molson Stadium crowd of 22,140 was in a festive mood with many wearing party hats handed out by the Alouettes to celebrate Calvillo’s birthday.

Calvillo brought his party to life with a milestone touchdown pass to S.J. Green, hitting the Alouettes’ receiver in the end zone for a 10-yard strike 9:53 into the second quarter.

“I didn’t notice the party hats. I didn’t notice anything, to be honest with you,” Calvillo said.

“I was really trying to concentrate on the game and that’s the tough thing. I just hope my birthday never lands on a game day again.”

Calvillo’s 436th career touchdown pass moved him past Warren Moon into second place all-time in pro football history. Moon threw 435 touchdown passes, including 144 with Edmonton from 1978-83. Brett Favre threw 508 touchdown passes, all in the NFL. “Congratulations to him,” said Tiger-Cats quarterback Henry Burris. “He’s worked hard and his guys made plays for him tonight. They did a great job of protecting him and giving him time. He’s doing a great job of leading that team and that’s the reason why they’re in first place.”

that momentum going and try to do the best I can.”

The Taiwanese star won three of the first five tournaments this year, but has struggled since then.

Starting her round on the 10th tee, she made a number of long putts on soft greens that resulted from a morning rain that turned into afternoon sunshine.

Noting she also drove the ball straight, Tseng said the return to the links where she first won enabled her to rediscover her lost confidence.

“If I miss a couple shots, I don’t worry about it, not like I did before, so I feel that this is the way I used to play,” said Tseng.

Meanwhile, Choi excelled with help from a Vancouverite who was thousands of miles away.

The 24-year-old South Korean praised her English tutor Greg Morrison, a Vancouver native who is now based in South Korea, for giving her considerable insight about his hometown.

“This is my first trip in Vancouver, but I feel very comfortable, because I heard a lot of things (about the city) from my English tutor,” said Choi.

The 2011-12 Western Hockey League season was a virtual nightmare for the Red Deer Rebels, who are hoping the upcoming campaign will be one long, sweet dream in comparison.

The Rebels lost an unimaginable 300-plus games to injury last winter, enduring a nasty and extended run of horrible luck that turned at least an outside contender into a non-playoff team.

But that was then, this is now, and the club is looking ahead to brighter days with training camp set to open Saturday at the Centrium.

“Last season is over and done with,” Rebels head coach Jesse Wallin said Thursday. “It was a disappointing season. We just seemed to go through so much adversity and the injuries really took a toll — mentally as much as anything — on the players, coaching staff and fans.

“But it’s behind us now and now it’s about moving forward. What really excites me is just the opportunity to get going again. It’s been a long off-season and everybody is just excited about getting back and moving forward.”

The Rebels officially open camp Saturday at 7:30 p.m. with the first of five rookie sessions preceding the initial main-camp scrimmage set for 5 p.m. Monday. The Black and White intrasquad game is set for Wednesday at 7 p.m.

Few, if any, of the rookie-camp participants will play for the Rebels full-time in 2012-13. That list includes this year’s first pick (fifth overall) in the bantam draft — power forward Adam Musil of Burnaby, B.C., who isn’t eligible for regular employment until the 2013-14 season.

The son of former NHL defenceman and Czech native Frank Musil attended the Rebels prospects camp in June but was nursing an injury and did not engage in contact.

“But he’s fine now. He has been visiting (relatives) in the Czech Republic and arrived here yesterday with Patty (Patrik Bartosak) and Jan (Bittner),” said Wallin. “Adam will go through rookie camp and the plan is to play him in our first two exhibition games before sending him back to B.C. for tryouts with his midget team.”

The focus will shift to main camp on Monday and the spotlight will shine at least partially on seven players attending on a tryout basis.

“Hopefully they can come in and make an impression in training camp. It’s going to be a short camp so the message they got was that they have to come in and make a bang right off the hop and show what they’ve got,” said Wallin.

The list of free agent hopefuls includes 20-yearold defenceman Tyler Hart, who has played in the WHL with Vancouver and Prince Albert. The Spruce Grove native has been hampered by injuries but is healthy coming into camp.

Fourteen-year-old Brooke Henderson, of Smiths Falls, Ont., watches her tee shot on the 13th hole during the first round of the CN Canadian Women’s Open LPGA golf tournament at the Vancouver Golf Club in Coquitlam, B.C., on Thursday.

Tseng comfortable in Canada TOP WOMENS GOLFER HAS LEAD ON SAME COURSE SHE WON FIRST TOURNAMENT

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS COQUITLAM, B.C. — Yani Tseng and Na Yeon Choi were feeling right at home in Vancouver during Thursday’s opening round of the Canadian Women’s Open.

Tseng, the world’s No. 1, held the first-round lead after she fired a 6-under-par 66 in a successful return to the golf course where she won her first pro tournament in 2007.

Choi was just one shot back, with a five-under 67, after leading for much of the day.

Lydia Ko, the 15-year-old South Korean-born New Zealander who won the U.S. Women’s Amateur two weeks ago, was two strokes back at 68 along with South Korea’s Inbee Park.

Tseng, who won a CN Canadian Women’s Tour event in her first visit to the Vancouver Golf Club, birdied five of her final six holes. She confirmed her notice of two days earlier that she is “back” after struggling the past two months.

“I wish I didn’t finish today,” said Tseng.

“I wish I could keep going — keep playing. But 18 holes are finished. (Friday) is a new day, but I’ll try to keep

NHL lockout appears to be inevitable TORONTO — Another NHL lockout is beginning to feel like an inevitability.

Unable to move beyond the philosophical stage of talks, the owners and players have watched another week slip by without progress.

They sat down together for a quick session Thursday morning before reporting the same significant gap that has existed all along.

The main issue that divides them is far from complex.

“We believe we’re paying out more than we should be,” said commissioner Gary Bettman.

“It’s as simple as that.”

Of course, the NHL Players’ Association doesn’t quite see it that way.Executive director Donald Fehr has acknowledged there’s room for some flexibility in that area — last week’s proposal included three years with a slightly lower share in revenues for the players — but he hasn’t come to the table in a conciliatory mood after taking over a union that capitulated during the last round of negotiations.

“Everybody understands that employers would always like to pay less,” said Fehr. “That’s not a surprise to anybody — it’s disappointing sometimes — but it’s not a surprise.”

He went on to add that the services his constituents provide are irreplaceable.

“From the players’ standpoint, they want a fair agreement, they want one that is equitable, they want one that recognizes their contribution,” said Fehr.

With both sides so entrenched, real negotiations have yet to begin even though the Sept. 15 deadline for a lockout is fast approaching.

The parties attempted to make some progress Wednesday by clearing

the meeting room of everyone but the key figures: Bettman and deputy commissioner Bill Daly along with Fehr and his brother Steve Fehr, the union’s No. 2 man.

They soon discovered there was little common ground.Those same four men will reopen talks next Tuesday in New York during what promises to be a key negotiation session. The sides have tentatively blocked off the rest of the week for meetings as well, but they must first determine if there’s anything worth talking about. That’s far from guaranteed.

A league that lost the entire 2004-05 season to a lockout is in real danger of having the start of another one disrupted for the same reason. The current CBA has seen the NHL grow from a $2.1-billion industry to one that pulls in $3.3-billion annually — a fact that isn’t lost on either side.

“We recovered well last time because we have the world’s greatest fans,” said Bettman.

The essential difference between the offers put forward so far is perhaps best articulated in terms of their impact on the salary cap. Under the NHL’s initial proposal, it would fall to $50.8 million for next season. The NHLPA’s would see it set near $69 million.

The league is also believed to have verbally raised the possibility of seeing the players’ share in revenue drop incrementally rather than all at once. Theoretically, it could be done at a rate that is matched by an expected increase in revenues — essentially keeping salaries constant over the duration of the agreement while owners take in more profit.

So far, the union hasn’t shown much interest in negotiating off of that kind of model.

While it’s natural to assume the parties might be more willing to make

Wenesday’s results include North Star Sports 10 The Hideout Rays 0, Sylvan Lake Relics 6 Lacombe Stone and Granite 3. Thursday’s results were Printing Place 2 Gary Moe Volkswagen 1. concessions as Sept.

15 nears, Fehr pointed out that they already know what’s at stake.

“If there’s going to be a lockout — and that’s something that the owners will choose or not choose — then you would have missed games, you would have lost revenue, you would have lost paycheques,” he said.

“But that doesn’t mean that the parties don’t understand going into it that that would be the case.”

With the possibility of a lockout becoming more real, the posturing is starting to begin.

Bettman lamented Thursday that the union wasn’t ready to open talks a year ago and throughout the season there was more than enough time to make a deal.

BC Lions ‘Kings of the Beasts’ as defense devour opponents We are almost at the halfway point in the 2012 season and tonight’s game features the BC Lions in a predatory role against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. The term “King of the Beasts” was given to the African lions a long time ago for a very good reason: they hunt in packs and they are merciless killers who do what they have to do to survive.

The same could be said about the BC Lions defence because these guys take no prisoners on a football field.

The BC defence has surJIM rendered little SUTHERLAND ground and even fewer points on the field of battle. Other teams’ quarterbacks have felt the wrath of the Lion defence and the experience has been unpleasant to the say the very least. Now inexperienced Bomber quarterback Joey Elliott will face the Lion defence in Winnipeg and he’ll take snaps behind a shaky O-line.

This is not a recipe for success even though Elliott had a stellar game against the Ticats last week because the Lions are a little different breed of cat. The Lions will place enormous pressure on Elliott and it will be an interesting confrontation between a confident young quarterback and the best defence in the CFL. If I was in an advanced state of brain damage I would pick Winnipeg to win, but I reckon that I’m only halfway there, so I pick the Lions to maul the Bombers.

The second game of the weekend matches the Calgary Stampeders against the Saskatchewan Roughriders in Regina. The teams have identical 3-4 records heading into the game and will battle for the right to move out of the basement in the CFL West. The Stamps have been forced to use journeyman quarterback Kevin Glenn as a replacement for starter Drew Tate and the results have been mixed at best.

Glenn has always been a streaky player who looks like a Hall of Famer in some games and a guy who should choose any occupation except football in others. He’s short and not very mobile, so he relies heavily upon a quick pass release to win games. Glenn does

OFFSIDE

not respond well to pressure defences and can be knocked off his game by blitz packages.

Rider quarterback Darian Durant celebrated his 30th birthday with a brutal game against BC last week. Durant shares many characteristics with Glenn because both are streaky performers who do not respond well to pressure. Durant was the gift-giver on his birthday and served up three interceptions instead of simple cake to the Lions.

The highlight of the last game was the much-maligned Rider defence.

They managed to exert a lot of pressure on Lion quarterback Travis Lulay and were not a huge factor in the loss because that honor went to Durant and the offence.

All of the above brings me to my prediction that the Riders will be victorious in this game because their defence will exert more pressure on Glenn than the Stamp defence will exert on Durant. Neither pivot is a winner, but I believe that Durant will be able to manage a win in Regina with a little help from his Rider friends on defence.

Monday Night Football comes to the CFL in the final game of the week when Edmonton travels to Toronto for a game against their old friend Ricky Ray. The Argonauts are an improved team with a new coaching staff on both sides of the ball. Their complicated offence has been difficult to learn, but now Argo quarterback Ricky Ray is more comfortable with the X’s and O’s of an offence that has its roots in Toronto head coach Scott Milanovich’s apprenticeship with offensive guru Marc Trestman in Montreal.

Edmonton has been a surprise this season and sport an identical record to Toronto at 4-3, but one of those victories against Toronto was largely due to very poor field goal kicking by injured Argo Noel Prefontaine. The Esks have fed off a strong defence this season and an adequate performance from quarterback Steven Jyles in some games.

The shift toward respectability is already evident in Toronto and they will become a force in the league if Ricky Ray stays healthy for the back half of the season. There is a world of difference between Jyles and Ray as quarterbacks and that fact will become evident on Monday night with an Argo victory.

Tigers sweep away Jays

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Tigers 3 Blue Jays 2 DETROIT — Anthony Gose lifted a flyball to right-centre field with a runner on second in the 10th inning, and it sure looked like the Toronto rookie had given his team the lead.

Austin Jackson had other ideas.

“He made a great play,” Gose said.

“I didn’t think he was anywhere near it and he came out of nowhere.”

Jackson’s spectacular diving catch kept the game tied, and the Detroit Tigers eventually won it on Alex Avila’s RBI single with two outs in the 11th.

The 3-2 victory over the Blue Jays gave the Tigers a three-game sweep.

With runners on first and second in the 11th, Avila singled to right off Chad Jenkins (0-1). Gose played the ball on a hop and couldn’t throw out pinchrunner Quintin Berry at home.

Joaquin Benoit (3-3) got the win. Justin Verlander struck out 12 in nine innings for the Tigers. Detroit slugger Miguel Cabrera left in the second inning because of right ankle soreness, but Tigers manager Jim Leyland said he expects Cabrera to play Friday, pos-

sibly as the designated hitter.

J.A. Happ took a shutout into the eighth inning for Toronto, but the bullpen couldn’t hold a 2-0 lead. Happ left the game after walking Avila with one out, and Jackson singled off reliever Brandon Lyon. After Omar Infante flied out, Darren Oliver came on to face pinch-hitter Brennan Boesch and allowed an RBI single.

“We got ahead and, unfortunately, some balls found some holes and that’s going to happen,” Happ said. “I felt confident out there. I felt in control.

That’s where I want to be.”

With Prince Fielder batting, Oliver threw a wild pitch that allowed Jackson to score from third and tie the game at 2.

Edwin Encarnacion hit a two-run homer off Verlander in the fourth.

Happ allowed a run and four hits in 7 1-3 innings. He walked three and struck out seven.

Verlander allowed four hits and two walks in his first start against the Blue Jays since he threw a no-hitter at Toronto last year. With Jose Bautista, Brett Lawrie and J.P. Arencibia still recovering from injuries, the Blue Jays looked overmatched at times.

Let the playoffs begin HARRINGTON HAS EARLY LEAD AT BETHPAGE BLACK IN THE FIRST FEDEX CUP PLAYOFF EVENT

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS FARMINGDALE, N.Y. — Padraig Harrington found a way to take some of the attention away from Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy on Thursday. He made six birdies on the tough back nine of Bethpage Black and opened the FedEx Cup playoffs with a 7-under 64 for a one-shot lead at The Barclays.

And that surely got the attention of Ryder Cup captain Jose Maria Olazabal.

Harrington has to rely on a captain’s pick to make his seventh straight European team, and that looks to be unlikely. Not only has the three-time major champion gone four years without winning against a strong field, he and Olazabal are not the best of friends after a dispute at the Seve Trophy from nine years ago.

The Irishman had the toughest time Thursday after he got off the difficult Black course. There were so many questions about the Ryder Cup, his chances of making the team and what he has to do to impress Olazabal, that at one point Harrington adopted the American way.

“The only answer I can give at this stage is I’m pleading the Fifth Amendment on that one,” Harrington said. “I honestly don’t know what to say. I don’t want to go in there and try too desperately to beg for a pick, or I don’t want to go in there and give excuses for anything. I’ll just leave it be what it is. I’m just going to play golf.”

That part was superb on a calm day that became increas-

the good start get away from him and settled for a 69.

If this is a rivalry, it figures to be a friendly one. Woods genuinely likes this 23-year-old from Northern Ireland, who already has two eight-shot wins in the majors.

He chatted more than usual, even for a Thursday, and during one wait on the par-3 14th, McIlroy listened intently with a smile on his face as Woods told a story, then broke into a big laugh upon hearing the punch line.

Worth repeating for a family newspaper?

“No,” McIlroy said with another laugh.

“He’s a nice kid, he really is,” Woods said. “As I said yesterday, I played with him in Abu Dhabi.

We struck up a friendship back then, and it’s continued. And I think it’s only going to get better.”

Woods won the U.S. Open at Bethpage Black in 2002, and he tied for sixth when the U.S. Open returned to this public course on Long Island in 2009.

It looks the same, especially how the rough frames each fairway. And while there were differences in the softness of the greens and hole locations, the most obvious difference was scoring.

“I shot 3-under par and I’m not even in the top 10,” Woods said.

“So it’s a little different deal.”

Harrington was even par through four holes, typically not a bad score, except that he watched Troy Matteson open with a birdie on the second hole and chip in for eagle on the fourth to reach 3 under early in the round.

NEW YORK — NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell says possibly using replacement referees for regular-season games is worthwhile to ensure long-term improvements to officiating.

The league and the NFL Referees Association have yet to reach an agreement, and Goodell acknowledged Thursday that time was running out to make the regular officials available for the openers.

“We’re anxious to get a deal done, but it has to get done that it’s going to help us for the long term,” Goodell said at a fantasy football event in Times Square. “It’s not a short-term issue.”

Of the replacement refs who have been calling preseason games, Goodell said: “We think they’ll do a very credible job.”

Officials probably need a week to 10 days to prepare for the season, Goodell said, and the first game is Sept. 5, 13 days away. The first full Sunday of games is Sept. 9.

NFLRA lead negotiator Mike Arnold said Thursday that officials have been training on their own during the lockout and would need less than a week to prep.

“We’re ready to go,” he said.

While the NFL and officials disagree on some financial matters, Goodell also characterized the differences as “philosophical.”

The NFL’s proposal includes making some refs full-time — currently all game officials work part-time with outside jobs — and adding more crews.

Arnold said that the union was open to discussing such issues but any proposal to increase the number of officials while decreasing the pay for current refs was not viable.

Increasing the pool of officials would allow the league to replace individual officials or entire crews that are not performing well, Goodell said.

“Then it’s based on performance, which is what fans all want, players all want, coaches all want,” he said.

Rodgers leads Packers over Bengals THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NFL PRESEASON

PACKERS 27 BENGALS 13 CINCINNATI, Ohio — Aaron Rodgers led Green Bay to a big first half Thursday night, running for 52 yards and two touchdowns during a 27-13 preseason victory over Cincinnati.

Rodgers led the way for the Packers (No. 1 in the AP Pro32), going 12 of 22 for 154 yards with an interception. He scrambled six times, scoring on runs of 12 and 5 yards.

Running back Cedric Benson made his Packers debut against his former team and ran six times for 38 yards. Benson led the Bengals (No. 14) in rushing each of the last four years, but they decided to let him leave as a free agent and signed BenJarvus Green-Ellis.

Benson signed with the Packers (1-2) on Aug. 14.

He got into a preseason game for the first time and gained 8 yards on a carry up the middle.

The Bengals (2-1) played their starters into the third quarter but they couldn’t get a touchdown, failing even on a first-and-goal from the 1-yard line.

Andy Dalton played the entire first half and the opening series of the third quarter, going 5 of 17 for 40 yards and two sacks. He scrambled three times for 36 yards.

RAVENS 48, JAGUARS 17 BALTIMORE (AP) — Joe Flacco completed 27 of 36 passes for 266 yards and two touchdowns for Baltimore before leaving early in the third quarter.

Flacco connected with nine receivers, most notably second-year wideout Torrey Smith, who finished with eight catches for 103 yards. Anquan Boldin caught a 5-yard TD pass and Vonta Leach scored on an 8-yard reception.

Baltimore (2-1) finished with 571 yards total of-

fence and had five drives of at least 80 yards. The 48 points were the most ever scored by the Ravens in a preseason game.

The Ravens (No. 5 in the AP Pro32) built a 20-3 lead before Flacco took a seat.

Gabbert went 11 for 21 for 117 yards over three quarters for Jacksonville (No. 31) . Rashad Jennings, starting in place of holdout Maurice Jones-Drew, gained 57 yards on 13 carries for the Jaguars (2-1).

TITANS 32, CARDINALS 27 NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Jake Locker threw for 134 yards and two touchdowns in his home debut as Tennessee’s starting quarterback.

Tennessee named Locker, the eighth overall draft pick in 2011, their starter for the season on Monday.

He responded by throwing for 124 yards and both TDs in giving Tennessee a 17-10 halftime lead and finished 11 of 20 for 134 yards with a 109.2 passer rating. He got plenty of help as the Titans (No. 21 in the AP Pro32) got another strong showing on defence.

End Kamerion Wimbley had two sacks, linebacker Colin McCarthy returned one of his two interceptions 31 yards for a TD and the Titans (2-1) forced five turnovers overall. Returner Marc Mariani broke his left leg at the end of a punt return.

The Cardinals (No. 23) struggled without left tackle Levi Brown, who is out with torn his right triceps.

John Skelton, who started at quarterback for Arizona (1-2), was 4 of 10 for 41 yards with a 12.9 passer rating.

Arizona trailed 17-3 and had only 69 yards offence until Kolb found Larry Fitzgerald on a 53-yard pass to start an 86-yard drive capped with his 3-yard TD pass to Andre Roberts.

Chatwood helps A’s to first win Lacombe’s Kuhn finishes fifth PRINCE GEORGE, B.C. — The Fort Saskatchewan A’s got off to a good start to the Canadian Senior Baseball Championships with a 10-3 win over Nova Scotia Thursday.

Jason Chatwood of the Red Deer Riggers was one-for-one, scoring once and was hit three times. Byron Whitford of the Red Deer Stags was one-forthree, scoring twice and was also hit once. Karnie Vertz went the distance for the win.

STORIES FROM B1

CFL: Record tying Chris Williams tied a CFL record with his fifth kick return touchdown of the season for Hamilton in the second quarter.

Williams returned Whyte’s punt 70 yards for his fifth kick return touchdown of the season, tying Henry “Gizmo” Williams’ CFL single-season record set in 1991.

It was Chris Williams’ fourth puntreturn touchdown of the season. He also returned a missed field goal for a touchdown. Gizmo Williams still holds the record for most punt-return touchdowns in a season with five.

“I’ve heard some very good stories about that man,” Chris Williams said.

“This league’s been around for a long time. Any time you can tie a record, it’s an honour. I’m thankful but I definitely would have liked to get a win.”

Former Alouette Avon Cobourne’s 15-yard touchdown reception from Burris gave Hamilton a 26-18 lead 2:57 into the fourth.

Whitaker’s three-yard run at 7:14 helped bring Montreal within 26-25.

Whyte hit his second of three field goals with 2:20 left, a 17-yard kick as the Alouettes settled for a 28-26 lead after Calvillo was sacked by Greg Peach for a seven-yard loss with Montreal on the three-yard line.

Adrian McPherson scored on a oneyard quarterback sneak to give Montreal its first lead, 18-16, 10:53 into the third quarter.

Green nearly had a second touchdown reception but he was downed inches short of the goal-line just before McPherson’s quarterback sneak.

“We came together as a team and put it together in all three phases, offensively, defensively and special teams, and we finished, which is all you can ask for out of your team,” Green said.

The Alouettes lost wide receiver Brandon London to a left knee sprain earlier in the drive that led to McPherson’s touchdown. London twisted his leg when he was tackled and got his left foot trapped under Tiger-Cats linebacker Rey Williams.

Montreal coach Marc Trestman expects him to be sidelined for two to four weeks.

“We’ll know a lot more after we see the doctors (Friday) and see how he feels in the morning,” Trestman said.

Alouettes free safety Kyries Hebert laid out Hamilton’s Onrea Jones with one of the most devastating blocks of the season. Montreal’s Jerald Brown intercepted Burris in the third quarter and Jones was in pursuit when Hebert caught him with his head down, sending the Tiger-Cats slotback flying backwards.

“It was a hellacious hit and I wouldn’t have got up,” Alouettes defensive end John Bowman said.

“Two years ago, I couldn’t talk much with the media, with the fans, but right now, I can talk with them,” she said.

“So I feel I’m really comfortable.”

Choi also felt “good vibes” from members of Vancouver’s Korean community who came out to cheer her on.

She also enjoyed a traditional Korean meal the night before.

“I go to a Korean restaurant (for) every meal if I can, and (Wednesday) night, I found a great restaurant,” she said. “(The food) was just like my mom cooked.”

Lorie Kane of Charlottetown was the top Canadian after shooting an even-par 72. Fourteen-year-old Brooke Henderson of Smiths Falls, Ont., the youngest golfer to ever play in the tournament, shot a 77.

No Canadian has won the tournament since Jocelyne Bourassa prevailed in a tiebreaker in 1973.

Choi is looking for her second victory of the season after posting a fourshot win at the U.S. Women’s Open.

The five-year LPGA veteran got off to a strong start with a birdie on the par-4 second hole and also recorded three straight birdies on Nos. 5 through 7.

She extended her lead quickly after making the turn, making birdies on 11 and 13. But she shot back-to-back bogeys on the next two holes before rallying for a birdie on 17.

“I was losing my focus at that moment,” said Choi.

“That’s why I got two bogeys. But after two bogeys, I realized I had to focus my game and I (had) to go back and get back on track. When I had (the) birdie on 17, that gave me a great feeling.

I feel like I have a lot of confidence about my game.”

Meanwhile, Kane earned top Canadian honours a day after saying she was not ready to relinquish her role as the nation’s torchbearer for women’s golf.

“I played a good round for most of the round,” she said. “ I played some pretty good golf. A couple of things kind of got away on me.”

She retained her torchbearer status by rolling in a birdie putt from about eight feet on the final hole.

As a result, Jessica Shipley of Oakville, Ont., was the second-best Canadian with a 1-over 73. Shipley was one shot better than American star Michelle Wie. After three-putting on the final hole, Wie cursed and threw her putter. She found herself in a tie for 100th after finishing second in this tournament last year in Mirabel, Que., and winning it in 2010 in Winnipeg.

“I tapped in and I missed and, on that last one, I didn’t feel too good ...

But other than that I had a really solid round,” said Wie.

REBELS: Spotlight The others are 18-year-old forwards Brett Njaa and Jesse Miller, 17-yearold defencemen Jeremy Leclerc, Riley Boomgarden and Quinlan Moore, and forward Owen LeClaire, 17.

Njaa finished third in Saskatchewan Midget AAA Hockey League scoring last season with 26 goals and 65 points in 44 games with the Prince Albert Mintos. He also led the team in playoff scoring with six goals and 10 assists in 10 games.

at Canadian Championships CHARLOTTETOWN, PEI — Lynn Kuehn of Lacombe shot her second straight seven-over par 81 Thursday to finish in a tie for fifth in the Canadian women’s senior golf championship.

Kuehn finished the 54-hole event at 232, eight strokes back of Terrill Samuel of Etobicoke, Ont., who came in with a

Leclerc and the six-foot-one LeClaire also played in the Saskatchewan midget loop, with the Saskatoon Contacts and Beardy’s Blackhawks, respectively. The six-foot-three, 200-pound Boomgarden toiled with Grande Prairie of the Alberta Midget League, while the six-five Moore was with North Island of the B.C. Major Midget League.

Miller, meanwhile, fired 20 goals and collected 50 points in 41 games with the Manitoba Midget AAA League champion Winnipeg Wild.

The bigger spotlight will shine on Bartosak, who excelled as the Rebels starting goaltender last winter before going down with a season-ending injury in December. The Czech native has recovered from shoulder surgery last spring and will head into camp as the Rebels No. 1 stopper.

“Goaltending is a huge part of your team and obviously Patty is an impact guy,” said Wallin.

“He proved the first half of last season what he’s capable of and we expect him to continue to improve and being healthy is the first step to that. He’s been skating all summer and he’s feeling good.”

Bolton Pouliot is the front-runner to assume the back-up position in his second full season with the club.

“With Bolton, we have a guy with experience who struggled through the early part of last season,” said Wallin.

“But once he got his first win under his belt he made some big strides and played some good games for us. Hopefully he can build off that and come into camp with some confidence.”

Grant Naherniak, 16, is the club’s brightest and most WHL-ready goaltending prospect and is expected to push both Bartosak and Pouliot in camp.

The Rebels netminder will play in front of a defensive crops headlined by Mathew Dumba, selected by the Minnesota Wild seventh overall in June’s NHL entry draft. Kayle Doetzel, 17, will also play a prominent role in his second WHL season and Wallin is hop-

Thursday and finished second one stroke back of Samuel.

Cheryl Van Dornick of Camrose had a final round 80 to go with rounds of 85-87 and tied for 51st at 252.

ing 19-year-old Bittner — picked in this year’s CHL import draft — will be a top-four rearguard.

Also returning and hoping to retain their jobs on the back end are Stephen Hak, Cody Thiel and Devan Faford, with Kevin Pochuk and Haydn Fleury being the top two rookie hopefuls.

With the loss of veteran blueliners Alex Petrovic, Justin Weller and Aaron Borejko to pro hockey and graduation, the Rebels will need bigger contributions from the returnees.

“It’s an opportunity for guys to play bigger roles, an opportunity for guys to step up and carry the torch,” said Wallin.

Offensively, the likes of Colten Mayor, Tyson Ness and 20-year-olds Adam Kambeitz, Charles Inglis and Turner Elson — provided the Calgary Flames signed prospect doesn’t play in the American League — will be counted on to carry a large share of the load.

The Rebels could return as many as 10 forwards, including the likes of Joel Hamilton, Chad Robinson, Cory Millette and Brooks Maxwell. Toss in prize rookies Scott Feser and Conner Bleackley and the competition for fulltime employment should be fierce.

Hamilton missed the last six weeks of his rookie season with a severe back injury but is ready to roll, said Wallin.

“With all the injuries we had Hamilton was the player we were most concerned about, given the nature of the injury,” said the Rebels bench boss.

“But he’s been skating and he’s feeling good.” ● The Rebels did not renew the contract of assistant coach Chris Neiszner, who has since accepted a position with Hockey Alberta.

“With (owner Brent Sutter) being here now and taking some of the managerial load off my shoulders, I can concentrate more on the coaching side of it,” said Wallin. “Myself and Bryce (Thoma) will handle the coaching duties, at least for now.” gmeachem@reddeeradvocate.com

The 25-year-old Jones, a former college wrestler and the brother of two NFL players, has been open about his financial motivations for fighting in recent months, saying he hopes to retire young to pursue other interests.

“Jon Jones has been one of these guys who, as much as he’s won and all the things that he’s accomplished, he’s been a champion that hasn’t been very popular, and I don’t think this is going to do wonders for his popularity,” White said.

The UFC 151 undercard featured fights for Jake Ellenberger and Germany’s Dennis Siver, yet it lacked a headline-quality bout, leading the UFC to scrap the entire show. The UFC has put on a huge slate of promotions during the first year of its new television deal with Fox, leading to criticism from fans who claim they’re getting watered-down shows.

The UFC will give refunds on all tickets, costing the promotion an enormous amount of “money that’s already been spent,” according to White, on everything from Times Square billboards to extensive television advertising. But thousands of fans who converge on the UFC’s hometown for its big events already have booked plane tickets and hotel rooms.

White is also apoplectic that the cancellation forced the cancellation or rescheduling of UFC 151’s 10 preliminary bouts, lamenting the wasted money and training time spent by the undercard fighters with a fraction of Jones’ wealth.

40869H24

The UFC cancelled its Sept. 1 pay-per-view show Thursday after light heavyweight contender Dan Henderson injured his knee and champion Jon Jones declined a replacement fight with Chael Sonnen.

UFC President Dana White was left furious with Jones and his trainer, Greg Jackson, after the UFC was forced to scrap a major card for the first time in his 11 years in charge of mixed martial arts’ dominant promotion.

“This is probably one of my all-time lows,” White said. “The one thing that I never thought in a million years would ever happen — it happened.”

White said Jones is the first UFC champion ever to turn down a match even on such short notice, calling the decision “selfish” and “disgusting.”

UFC 151 was scheduled for Sept. 1 at Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.

Jones agreed to defend his title against former champion Lyoto Machida at UFC 152 in Toronto on Sept. 22 in a rematch of their bout last December in the same city.

But that did nothing to curb White’s anger at one of his promotion’s biggest stars — and an athlete personally sponsored by the UFC. Last-minute matchup changes occur frequently in MMA shows due to injuries, and White rarely has a problem getting his tough-guy fighters to take risks.

“We’ve never, ever had a fighter refuse to fight somebody, especially a fighter who is a world champion as well as one of the top pound-for-pound guys in the world,” White said. “It’s baffling to me, and

I’ve never seen it before.”

Jones and Jackson didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.

The 41-year-old Henderson was forced to drop out of his title shot against Jones after partially tearing a ligament in his knee during training, according to White.

Sonnen immediately agreed to take the assignment on eight days’ notice, even moving up from 185 pounds to 205 to do it. The trash-talking, attentionloving Sonnen was stopped by middleweight champion Anderson Silva on July 7 in their entertaining rematch at UFC 148, the UFC’s biggest show of the summer.

“Chael Sonnen says, ’I’ll fight him tonight,”’ White said.

“He’s that kind of a person. He puts his money where his mouth is. He goes out and delivers. He’s willing to step out and fight.”

But White said Jones and Jackson decided the champion couldn’t be ready to fight the dangerous Sonnen. White was particularly enraged by Jackson, the respected Albuquerque-based trainer of several elite MMA fighters, calling him “a sport-killer” and “a weirdo” before saying: “Greg Jackson should never be interviewed by anybody ever again, except a psychiatrist.”

Jones is among the sport’s top handful of poundfor-pound fighters after his meteoric rise to the title in March 2011 in just his eighth UFC fight, yet his previously squeaky-clean image has taken enormous hits this year after his arrest on a drunken-driving charge in May, followed by his decision to decline this fight.

KOBE, Japan — Canada is facing a crucial game against a tough North Korean side next week at the women’s under-20 World Cup after a 2-1 loss to Norway on Thursday.

Ada Hegerberg scored just after the break and her sister Andrine scored the winner 11 minutes from time.

Both teams are tied with three points after two games in the group stage.

North Korea leads Group C with six points following a 9-0 drubbing of Argentina. “It was a disappointing result,� said Canadian coach Andrew Olivieri. “There were a lot of promising performances, but winning is part of the player development at this level.�

Canada will close out the group stage Monday against North Korea.

The top two teams in each group advance to the quarter-finals. If two or more teams finish tied on points, goal differential will determine who goes through.

Jenna Richardson scored for Canada in the 44th minute.

Canada created numerous chances in the first half, but couldn’t quite hit the target as balls either went wide or into the arms of Norwegian goalkeeper Nora Gjoen.

Nearly midway through the first half, Norway thought it had its chance after referee Qin Liang called a penalty on Canada. Ada Hegerberg took the kick, but her shot to the left was stopped by Canadian goalkeeper Sabrina D’Angelo. “I think we certainly had the better of the play and chances in the first half,� said Olivieri. “Other than the penalty chance (for Norway), we could have gone up by three goals after 45 minutes — so the first half was positive in that sense.�

In the second half, the game opened up and Norway got the equalizer in the 52nd minute. Andrine Hegerberg blasted a shot past D’Angelo 15 minutes later for the lead. “In the second half, we knew we couldn’t sit back, we had to keep going forward,� said Olivieri. “The game opened up and started going back and forth, perhaps a little more than we would have liked.�

Kim Un Hwa scored five goals to lead North Korea to a rout of Argentina, which gave up six goals in its first game against Canada. Kim Su Gyong had a hat trick and Yun Hyon Hi scored the other goal for the 2006 champions.

Meanwhile, in Hiroshima, substitute Lina Magull scored an injurytime winner as defending champion Germany beat Ghana 1-0.

Magull, who came on in the 83rd minute, took a perfect pass from Dzsenifer Marozsan and beat Ghana goalkeeper Patricia Mantey with an angled left-footed shot in the first minute of injury time as Germany improved to six points in Group D. “It was very exciting to get a goal so late in the match like that,�

Germany coach Maren Meinert said. “The players worked very hard and were rewarded for their work.

Ghana was a tough opponent and we had to think about different formations.�

The United States was held to a 1-1 draw by China in Group D’s second game of the day, a result that ensured Germany became the first team to advance to the quarterfinals.

LACOMBE PARK PROJECT CELEBRATION Come celebrate another step towards the completion of the Lacombe Athletic Park Project. On Saturday, the Lacombe Athletic Park Association hosts a grand opening of the ME Global Athletic Park from 8:30 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Among the scheduled fun is a variety of activities, including a pancake breakfast, soccer matches, field lacrosse and rugby at the park. Opening ceremonies begin at 1 p.m. Earlier this summer, the artificial turf was installed completing the third phase of the multiphased project. The project, spearheaded over six years by the Lacombe Athletic Park Association, was made possible through product, cash and work-in-kind donations from local businesses.

Future plans include installing a track at the park, but an additional $1 million must be raised. Gate passes are $5 for adults; $3 for youth (ages eight to 16) and children seven and under get in free. For more information, visit www. lacombeathleticpark.ca.

SENIOR WELLNESS SESSION A senior wellness information session is set for Sept. 15. at the Golden Circle Senior Resource Centre in downtown Red Deer. Information on housing options, Alberta Senior benefits, providing support for a family member and much more will be available.

The fair runs from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. For more information, call 403-343-6074.

A Red Deer dog owner paid a $1,000 fine after her border collie bit a two-year-old girl in June.

The Advocate has learned, through documents obtained at the Red Deer provincial court-

house, that Jean Marie Winter paid $1,000 on July 17 after contravening a City of Red Deer bylaw.

The ticket is in regards to an owner of a dog that causes severe injury to a person. Originally, the fine was set at $2,500.

A $250 ticket for contravening a municipal bylaw of failing

to obtain a dog tag was withdrawn in Red Deer provincial court on July 17.

Erin Stuart, permits and licensing supervisor, confirmed on July 23 that the owner of the 10-year-old female border collie had her dog destroyed.

The animal bit the girl in the face during a visit at the own-

er’s home on June 9.

The girl’s mother, Christina Fitzpatrick of Blackfalds, said earlier that her daughter Mikenna required plastic surgery after one of Winter’s three dogs bit her in the face, leaving wounds under her right eye, across her nose and inside her mouth.

Man gets house arrest for wild chase

BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF A 21-year-old man who led police on a wild chase through Red Deer was given a ninemonth conditional sentence and banned from driving for two years on Thursday.

Red Deer provincial court Judge Bert Skinner told Ryan Harder, of Red Deer, he must spend the first four months of his sentence under house arrest, which means he can only leave home for specific reasons such as school, work or medical appointments.

Harder will be on curfew for the remaining five months and must be at home between 9:30 p.m. and 6 a.m.

Skinner also ordered Harder

to do 50 hours of community service and pay the RCMP $5,035 in restitution for the damage he did to a police car during a chase on Nov. 10, 2011.

Harder had previously pleaded guilty in court to a number of charges, including failing to stop for police, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle and failing to stop at the scene of an accident in relation to two separate instances when he fled police.

On Nov. 3, 2011, he was spotted by police around 63rd Street west of Gaetz Avenue. Harder took off at a high rate of speed and managed to evade police.

He wasn’t so lucky a week later when police saw him again about 9:30 a.m. near Gaetz Avenue and 71st Street.

After being spotted by po-

lice, Harder, driving a Volkswagen Golf, refused to pull over and sped off. He jumped curbs, drove through numerous red lights and hit speeds of 80 km/h in school and playground zones.

Police tried to stop him with a spike belt but he veered off the road to avoid it.

The RCMP abandoned the chase because of the danger after one of their vehicles was hit

by Harder. Four unmarked RCMP vehicles were used to follow him discreetly.

A police helicopter that had been involved in a search for a missing person nearby was also called in to help track Harder.

As Harder continued driving, he narrowly missed hitting a pair of seniors at a crosswalk on Taylor Drive.

He was finally caught when

his car hit a cement barrier at Red Deer College and police used their vehicles to block him.

Crown prosecutor Charlotte Oxford suggested a prison sentence of one to two years.

Defence lawyer Walter Kubanek argued that the 30 days Harder had spent in custody when he was arrested had sent the message that he needed to get help and suggested a conditional sentence.

Harder has been diagnosed with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, which has left him with diminished mental capacity, he said.

Kubanek said Harder now has a job and wants to take a welding course at Red Deer College. He is living with an aunt. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

City charts success through planning

BY LAURA TESTER ADVOCATE STAFF The City of Red Deer continues to surge forward on how residents can move more efficiently without a vehicle.

On Monday, Development Services director Paul Goranson updated council on the Movement Charter — one of six major workplans that the city has launched over the past year. The Movement Charter arose from the Integrated Movement Study, which looked at what residents think about bicycling, taking transit, walking and driving in the city today and for the future.

Goranson highlighted how this Movement Charter has involved bringing in experts and surveying the public about street designs, bicycling as well as pedestrian walkability.

The Ross Street patio experiment, where patio tables have been set up in the place of 17 parking stalls, has garnered widespread positive response.

“I’ve been here at the city more than 20 years and I’ve never seen anything that has garnered as many unsolicited comments of support,” said Goranson.

Goranson said this fall a draft “mobility playbook” will come forward, with the help of consultants.

“They are suggesting that instead of planning and designing from a 30,000-foot-level, you need to get down, get on the street and look at how we do things,” said Goranson.

Consultants compiled a graph on the walking and cycling times from the point a person is just beyond Red Deer city limits.

“It’s only 20 minutes to our downtown on bike, at the most,” said Goranson.

Updates were also given on five other

THE ROSS STREET PATIO EXPERIMENT, WHERE PATIO TABLES HAVE BEEN SET UP IN THE PLACE OF 17 PARKING STALLS, HAS GARNERED WIDESPREAD POSITIVE RESPONSE. ‘I’VE BEEN HERE AT THE CITY MORE THAN 20 YEARS AND I’VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING THAT HAS GARNERED AS MANY UNSOLICITED COMMENTS OF SUPPORT,’ SAID DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTOR PAUL GORANSON. charters — Safety, Dialogue, Identity, Movement, Design and Economy. Each one has a goal (theme) with specific outcomes and key strategies. Presentations were made on Monday as part of the city’s first-ever public mid-year budget review.

City manager Craig Curtis said on Thursday that the city is progressing well on “putting flesh to the bone” on these charters, and in particular the Movement Charter.

“With the Movement Charter, we’re probably more than 50 per cent of the way,” said Curtis. “In some of them, we’re only 20 per cent of the way. We’re intending at least to have a good direction in each of the charters before the (fall election) next year.”

The city is also progressing on the Design Charter. One outcome suggests increasing the number of stores and services located in individual neighbourhoods so people have a chance to connect.

“We’re totally looking at our neighbourhood standards and seeing the mix of housing types and that sort of thing,” said Curtis.

The Identity Charter would like to ensure Albertans clearly identify Red Deer’s identity, and ensure tourism increases.

“It speaks to how we would market ourselves,” Curtis said.

The Dialogue Charter includes looking

at how best the city can engage the public through social media.

“We’re in the process of updating our web page,” said Curtis.

The Safety Charter includes ways to better crime prevention in the city.

One key strategy is to create a made-inRed Deer drug strategy that would identify gaps in services.

“One of the issues we have is with gangrelated crime whereas other levels of crime have been going down significantly,” said Curtis.

The city successfully negotiated with the province to see ALERT (Alberta Law Enforcement Response Team) set up a unit here. That’s a direct response to a goal within the Safety Charter, Curtis said.

Curtis said the Economy Charter is about to get going. A bid will go out to have a firm prepare an economic development strategy.

“We’ve tended to put our eggs into the regional basket and we don’t want to abandon the regional focus,” said Curtis. “We do need a made-in-Red Deer focus on the land we have, our web presence on economic development is very limited ... we’re going to enhance our profile.” ltester@reddeeradvocate.com

Thyroid problems can be bad for heart Tired? Moody? Can’t lose weight or remember where you parked your car (again)?

Your thyroid, a butterfly-shaped gland at the base of your neck that helps regulate metabolism, may be out to lunch. And now, new research offers one more reason to get yours checked out: A malfunctioning thyroid raises your odds for heart disease.

We think you should start with a thyroid hormone test at age 35, then repeat it every other year at your annual physical. (You do get an annual physical, don’t you?) It’s the only way to establish a baseline and then track how this important gland is doing. Tens of millions of North Americans may be dragging around in low gear as a result of an underactive thyroid. Older people, women and anyone with a family history of thyroid troubles are at highest risk.

Even a slightly underactive thyroid (called subclinical hypothyroidism) is a medical condition worth fixing with a daily dose of thyroid hormone. It can boost energy, help you lose weight and help clear up foggy thinking, memory lapses and depression. And now, two new studies report that an underactive thyroid boosts your odds for heart disease by 30 percent, offbeat heart rhythms (they increase the risk of

roid include tiredness, forgetfulness, stubborn weight gain, feeling cold, constipation, sore muscles, a puffy face and dry hair, skin and nails.

If you want to do a quick home test, these drills can help you spot trouble: The Swallow Check: Tip your head back a little and take a sip of waOZ ter. Watch the lower part of your neck -- above your collarbone and just below your voice box -- while you swallow, looking for any bulges or bumps. Do this several times. If you notice any bumps, bulges or protrusions, tell your doc. You may have an enlarged thyroid gland or a thyroid nodule that needs further checking.

The Eyebrow Test: Stand in front of a mirror. Hold a pencil up to the outer corner of your left eye, so that the pencil is vertical -- one end points to the floor, the other to the ceiling. Check to see if there’s eyebrow hair to the left of the pencil. One sign of low thyroid is the loss of eyebrow hair here (not because you plucked or waxed it off, of course!). If you’re hairless there, check

DRS. OZ AND ROIZEN heart attack and stroke) by 68 percent and overall chances of dying early by 24 percent.

So, what messes with this gland? In the old days, an iodine-poor diet was assumed to be the cause of a sluggish thyroid. Today we’ve discovered that the biggest threat comes from an autoimmune condition called Hashimoto’s disease, in which your misguided immune system kills off thyroid-hormoneproducing cells in the gland. Viral infections, drugs (like lithium and amiodarone) and even pregnancy also can leave your thyroid stuck in low gear.

Warning signs of an underactive thy-

the symptom list again, and talk with your doc.

Once you’ve decided to talk with your doc ...

Ask for a TSH test. “TSH” stands for “thyroid-stimulating hormone” -- a compound produced by your pituitary gland that tells your thyroid to pump out metabolism-controlling hormones of its own. A TSH of 10 mlU/L or more is a sign that you have hypo (low) thyroid; from 5 to 10 indicates that you may have the condition and it should be investigated, even if hormones produced by your thyroid gland, called T3 and T4, are still normal. Normal is .4 to 4.0.

Solve the problem. Taking the synthetic thyroid hormone levothyroxine every day can normalize your thyroid hormone levels and take care of the symptoms.

Be aware that not every version (Levothroid, Levoxyl, Synthroid) works the same for every person; don’t settle for less than total relief. And you should never change brands without working carefully with your endocrinologist to monitor results.

New disease found, causes AIDS-like symptoms Researchers have identified a mysterious new disease that has left scores of people in Asia and some in the United States with AIDS-like symptoms even though they are not infected with HIV. The patients’ immune systems become damaged, leaving them unable to fend off germs as healthy people do. What triggers this isn’t known, but the disease does not seem to be contagious.

This is another kind of acquired immune deficiency that is not inherited and occurs in adults, but doesn’t spread the way AIDS does through a virus, said Dr. Sarah Browne, a scientist at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

She helped lead the study with researchers in Thailand and Taiwan where most of the cases have been found since 2004. Their report is in Thursday’s New England Journal of Medicine.

“This is absolutely fascinating. I’ve seen probably at least three patients in the last 10 years or so” who might have had this, said Dr. Dennis Maki, an infectious disease specialist at the University of Wisconsin in Madison.

It’s still possible that an infection of some sort could trigger the disease, even though the disease itself doesn’t seem to spread person-to-person, he said.

The disease develops around age 50 on average but does not run in families, which makes it unlikely that a single gene is responsible, Browne said. Some patients have died of overwhelming infections, in-

cluding some Asians now living in the U.S., although Browne could not estimate how many.

Kim Nguyen, 62, a seamstress from Vietnam who has lived in Tennessee since 1975, was gravely ill when she sought help for a persistent fever, infections throughout her bones and other bizarre symptoms in 2009. She had been sick off and on for several years and had visited Vietnam in 1995 and again in early 2009.

“She was wasting away from this systemic infection” that at first seemed like tuberculosis but wasn’t, said Dr. Carlton Hays Jr., a family physician at the Jackson Clinic in Jackson, Tennessee.

Nguyen was referred to specialists at the National Institutes of Health who had been tracking similar cases. She spent nearly a year at an NIH hospital in Bethesda, Maryland, and is there now for monitoring and further treatment.

“I feel great now,” she said Wednesday. But when she was sick, “I felt dizzy, headaches, almost fell down,” she said. “I could not eat anything.”

AIDS is a specific disease, and it stands for acquired immune deficiency syndrome. That means the immune system becomes impaired during someone’s lifetime, rather than from inherited gene defects like the “bubble babies” who are born unable to fight off germs. The virus that causes AIDS — HIV — destroys T-cells, key soldiers of the immune system that fight germs. The new disease doesn’t affect those cells, but causes a different kind of damage. Browne’s study of more than 200 people in Taiwan and Thailand found that most of those with the disease make substances

called autoantibodies that block interferon-gamma, a chemical signal that helps the body clear infections.

Blocking that signal leaves people like those with AIDS — vulnerable to viruses, fungal infections and parasites, but especially micobacteria, a group of germs similar to tuberculosis that can cause severe lung damage. Researchers are calling this new disease an “adult-onset” immunodeficiency syndrome because it develops later in life and they don’t know why or how.

“Fundamentally, we do not know what’s causing them to make these antibodies,” Browne said.

Antibiotics aren’t always effective, so doctors have tried a variety of other approaches, including a cancer drug that helps suppress production of antibodies. The disease quiets in some patients once the infections are tamed, but the faulty immune system is likely a chronic condition, researchers believe.

The fact that nearly all the patients so far have been Asian or Asian-born people living elsewhere suggests that genetic factors and something in the environment such as an infection may trigger the disease, researchers conclude.

Solar chimney cost effective, environmentally responsible Traditionally, the conventional design of our homes in Western Canada is one of resource-consuming appliances making up for the heat loss, or gain, in our ever changing seasons.

With hydrocarbons and energy being our biggest export, and natural reserves being abundant in this province, it continues as an accepted practise; and when resources are cheap and abundant, it is cost effective.

Other countries of the world not lucky enough to have abundant energy wealth had to be more frugal with their consumption demands.

LORNE This resulted in structures designed to use more solar, OJA geothermal and wind-driven systems to offset their need for mechanical heating and cooling.

With prices for hydrocarbons increasing, these concerns are starting to be addressed by innovative, cost-conscious and environmentally-conscious consumers in our province.

In the previous two columns, we discussed thermal mass for heat storage and earth-coupled heat exchangers.

Illustrations of thermal mass are internal stone walls or cement floors placed where the sun can warm them during the day; or the heat from a fire being slowly released back into the room, as with a masonry wood stove.

Earth-coupled heat exchangers provide fresh air ventilation of tight, energy-efficient homes while decreasing mechanical heating or cooling requirements by using the heat of the outgoing air and the geothermal heat of the ground to pre-warm or cool the incoming outdoor air.

The next step in the utilization of this free and natural process is the installation of a mechanism

ENERGY

known as a thermal or solar chimney.

A solar chimney uses the heat of the sun to warm the air inside the chimney and create an updraft; this then generates a suction effect at the bottom of the chimney, drawing in cooler air.

Proper design dictates the chimney has to be higher than roof level; the side facing the sun will absorb more heat if it is glazed, and a heat-absorbing material should be used on the opposing side. The size of the heat-absorbing surface dictates the effectiveness of the chimney by increasing convection, and the resulting air flow.

To maximize the cooling effect, the system can be designed in conjunction with an earth-coupled heat exchanger and a Trombe wall.

The advantage to the Trombe wall is that it can be reversed in cooler weather to help provide solar heating, and in combination with the earth-coupled heat exchanger, it can help reduce cool weather use of mechanical heating appliances.

A variation in the design of the solar chimney can use the attic space of a home to aid convection in the solar chimney and improve ventilation of both attic and home. This protects the attic from overheating, and a cooler attic reduces need for powered cooling and ventilation.

The simple design of a solar chimney used in conjunction with earth tubes, and solar mass, is an efficient way of providing fresh air for an untainted interior atmosphere.

If designed into initial construction, it’s cost effective and environmentally responsible.

TORONTO — Global economic headwinds are putting an increasing strain on the relationship between Canadian investors and their full-service financial advisers, according to J.D. Power and Associates.

The marketing information services company said in its annual survey Thursday that investor satisfaction with full-service firms in Canada has declined for two years in a row.

Full-service investment firms provide advice and analysis to clients but tend to charge higher fees than discount brokers that mainly provide basic buy-and-sell services.

According to J.D. Power, overall satisfaction with full-service investment firms in Canada averaged 720 on a 1,000-point scale in 2011, down 13 points compared with a

SHELL SAYS IT IS LOOKING FOR OIL IN NOVA SCOTIA OFFSHORE HALIFAX — Shell Canada (TSX:SHC) says it would possibly reconsider its future plans to develop Nova Scotia’s offshore if its $970-million deepwater exploration venture off the province’s southwest coast turned up natural gas instead of oil. Erik B. Goodwin, Shell’s venture leader for its deepwater Nova Scotia operations, says the company’s goal is to find oil in four deepwater areas about 200 kilometres from the province’s southwestern shore. Goodwin says it would be very difficult for the Calgary-based company to profit off natural gas in Nova Scotia.

The company’s six-year agreement to explore for petroleum is the highest bid for exploration rights in Atlantic Canada.

Goodwin says Shell plans to open a small Halifax office in January and start drilling exploration wells in 2015. Unlike Newfoundland and Labrador, where a wealth of offshore resources has turned that province’s finances around, Nova Scotia’s petroleum industry is relatively small and has experienced struggles.

NEXEN TAKEOVER BID REQUIRES CAREFUL SCRUTINY: PM CAMBRIDGE BAY, Nunavut — The prime minister says the proposed takeover of a Canadian oil-and-gas producer by a Chinese state-owned firm must be in the best long-term interest of Canada.

Stephen Harper called the US $15.1-billion takeover bid for Calgarybased Nexen a deal with significant implications for the Canadian economy in the short- and long-term.

“Our government will take the time we have to properly scrutinize this transaction and to assess that, if it is to go ahead, that it will only go ahead if it is in the best long-term interest of the Canadian economy,” he said. “Not just net benefit of Canada but in the best long-term interest of the Canadian economy . . . .”

year earlier.

In contrast, the latest survey found satisfaction among U.S. full-service investors has risen for two consecutive years to 775 in a 2012-dated survey.

The Canadian Full Service Investor Satisfaction Study is based on responses from more than 5,200 investors who use advicebased investment services with financial institutions in Canada. The study was fielded in June and July 2012.

“The difference between U.S. and Canada full-service investors is due to the relationship with their investment firm,” said Lubo Li, senior director of the financial services practice at J.D. Power and Associates, Toronto.

“Investors in Canada are less satisfied with their firm in large part because their advisers is not keeping them up to date with market trends as much as during the past two years and isn’t demonstrating as much concern for their needs.”

For example, the survey showed investors in Canada rate their adviser 7.8 on a 10-point scale for showing concern for their needs, compared with an average 8.4 reading i the United States.

Meanwhile, investors in Canada rate their adviser 7.4 on average for promptness in keeping them up to date with market trends, compared with an average 8.1 reading south of the border.

“Certainly, external factors such as global financial market fluctuations play a role in overall satisfaction, but also present an opportunity for advisers to deepen the relationship with their investors by managing expectations and providing timely advice to navigate the tenuous market,” Li said.

“Investors need reassurance regarding the current risk exposure of their portfolio and to believe they are well positioned when the market comes back.”

Demographic fears ‘much ado about nothing’: CIBC PARENTS CAN HELP KIDS BETWEEN AGES OF 2534 TO BUY HOMES, SAYS ECONOMIST

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS A downturn in the housing market may not be as bad as feared because the important 25-34 age group will continue to buy houses — some with help from their welloff parents, says a senior economist at CIBC World Markets.

The analysis takes aim at a theory that population growth won’t be strong enough to sustain demand, putting downward pressure on housing prices that have risen dramatically during a years-long period of low interest rates.

“This demographically driven fear is much ado about nothing,” Benjamin Tal, deputy chief economist at CIBC World Markets, said Thursday.

Demographic projections suggest there will be fewer Canadians under the age of 25 and between the ages of 45 and 54, but Tal notes those groups account for a small portion of home buyers.

Tal said the group aged between 25 and 34 — the age group that makes up the vast majority of first-time buyers — will continue to grow.

While that growing population of young people may have to postpone buying a house for a couple of years due to their student debt level, their parents can help them out, Tal said from Toronto.

“Many of those young people, they’re lucky, they have wealthy parents,” Tal said in an interview after his housing report was published.

“This is actually the first generation that the parents are better off than the kids and those parents will write a nice cheque,” he said. “The student debt level is not significant enough to really kill the housing market.”

TRADE Ottawa’s new PRPPs called nothing but RRSPs with ‘new coat of paint’ Indonesia seeks deeper ties

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — The C.D. Howe Institute is calling for significant changes to Ottawa’s proposed new pension system, dismissing it as a re-release of the existing RRSP shelter “with a new coat of paint.”

In fact, a new study by the Toronto thinktank released Thursday says that Pooled Registered Pension Plans as currently designed should be avoided by many low- and middle-income Canadians.

However, the report, entitled Pooled Registered Pension Plans: Pension Savior — or a New Tax on the Poor? says PRPPs could be improved by changes to tax rules.

“As currently proposed, PRPPs present only the appearance of reform because they are for the most part a re-release of an existing retirement savings vehicle —RRSPs with a new coat of paint,” said James Pierlot, a pension specialist and member of the Pension Policy Council of the C.D. Howe Institute.

Introduced for federally regulated employees in June, PRPPs are intended to improve pension coverage and retirementsaving outcomes by reducing costs and improving investment returns through asset pooling and third-party administration.

But since most employers under federal pension legislation are already providing pension coverage to their employees, the

expectation was that most provincial governments would follow the federal lead and adopt PRPPs for the vast majority of Canadian workers, who are under provincial jurisdiction. So far that has not been the case.

The Howe Institute study says PRPPs represent only a mild improvement over existing options such as RRSP and definedcontribution pension plans because tax rules for all three are essentially similar.

As a result, that will prevent many private-sector workers from saving enough for retirement and from receiving retirement income in the form of a life pension, the Howe Institute says in a release.

“Worst of all, as the authors show, PRPPs should be avoided entirely by many lowto middle-income workers, who will face taxes and government-benefit clawbacks on PRPP retirement benefits at rates that are significantly higher than the refundable rates that apply to contributions,” it says.

Among the recommendations by authors James Pierlot, a principal at Pierlot Pension Law, and Alexandre Laurin, associate director of Research, at the C.D. Howe Institute: — PRPPs should allow tax-free accumulations so that low- and middle-income workers do not face punitive effective tax rates when they retire.

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Indonesia is eager to boost trade with Canada, but the South Asian country isn’t interested in two of the Harper government’s top priorities — pursuing a free trade deal or buying oilsands crude.

Nonetheless, Indonesian Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa was unenthusiastic Thursday about boosting trade as he arrived in Ottawa for talks with his counterpart John Baird.

Natalegawa was quick to point out that trade between the two countries soared 60 per cent in the last year, saying there is plenty of room to boost volume and diversify, without a formal trade pact between the two countries.

“But even absent a free trade agreement, the reality is the trade figures and the trade trends (for) our two countries have been very positive over the past year,” he told The Canadian Press in an interview.

“So let’s focus on what we can do at the moment. That idea of a free trade agreement is something that’s still way ahead of us.”

HOUSING: Option to live with parents This group of young people also have the option of living with their parents while paying down their debt and saving for a down payment, he said.

Tal said once they move out, the younger generation will be “extremely dynamic� in terms of self-employment and being employable, which will help them buy houses.

“They will be employable, they will work and they will make money.�

But Capital Economics economist David Madani said while the 25-34 age group is helping drive sales they are more vulnerable to downturns. “Right now, if a younger person has put down a small deposit on a home, let’s say in the last couple of years, obviously they are the most exposed to a price decline,� said Madani, Canada economist at the Toronto-based Capital Economics. “So they could see the little amount of equity that they do have in their homes go up in a puff of smoke. That leaves them significantly under water.�

Madani said average house prices in major cities such as Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Ottawa and Calgary could drop by 25 per cent in the next couple of years.

to take major action.

And in Europe, economic indicators also came in weak as the PMI of overall economic activity in the 17-country eurozone was at 46.6 points in August, only a tiny improvement from the previous month’s 46.5. A number below 50 means the economy is contracting.

Analysts said the number shows the eurozone is firmly in recession.

In corporate news, tech giant Hewlett-Packard was down 8.15 per cent to US$17.63 after it reported a third-quarter loss of US$8.9 billion, its largest quarterly loss ever. HP had indicated bad news was on the way earlier this month when it disclosed plans to take an $8-billion charge to reflect the shrinking value of Electronic Data Systems, a technology consulting service it bought for $13 billion in 2008.

3.6 per cent in July to match a two-year high reached in May to a seasonally-adjusted annual rate of 372,000.

Commodity prices had headed higher in the wake of the Fed announcement, but the energy sector lost 1.29 per cent as the October crude contract on the New York Mercantile Exchange shed early gains to move down 99 cents to US$96.27 a barrel.

Suncor Energy (TSX:SU) declined 48 cents to C$31.25 and Cenovus Energy (TSX:CVE) shed 80 cents to $32.37.

The base metals sector lost 1.12 per cent with the September copper contract four cents higher at US$3.49 a pound. HudBay Minerals (TSX:HBM) gave back 15 cents to $8.59 while Teck Resources (TSX:TCK.B) declined 65 cents to $29.10.

Financials also weighed on the TSX as Manulife Financial (TSX:MFC) fell 30 cents to $10.86 and National Bank (TSX:NA) moved down 90 cents to $73.35.

December bullion moved up $32.30 to US$1,674.10 an ounce, pushing the gold component 0.5 per cent higher. Barrick Gold Corp. (TSX:ABX) gained 59 cents to $37.87.

Meanwhile, dismal economic data also pointed to worsening economic conditions in Asia and Europe.

In China, a preliminary reading of manufacturing activity indicated that government stimulus efforts have not been able to neutralize global headwinds.

HSBC’s manufacturing purchasing managers’ index (PMI) fell to a nine-month low of 47.8 in July as weak global demand hit Chinese export orders. New export orders fell at their fastest rate in three years.

Traders have been hoping that the Chinese central bank might take further measures to stimulate the slowing economy.

But some analysts think that policy-makers are likely to wait until after the 18th Communist party congress, scheduled for October,

The Conservative government has been vigorous about pursuing free trade deals with China, India, the European Union and host of smaller countries.

It has also made boosting trade with Asia a major priority, especially after the Obama administration delayed the Keystone XL pipeline project that would have carried oilsands crude to southern U.S. refineries.

RED DEER ADVOCATE Friday, Aug. 24, 2012 C5

First day of school can be trying for clingy kids Question: Our daughter starts kindergarten next week, and I’m worried about dropping her off at school that first day. She’s very attached to us, and even a little clingy. We don’t want to make a scene.

JIM DALY Jim: The first day of school JULI SLATTERY is an emotional roller-coaster.

Moms and dads are sometimes in tears over the fact that their baby has grown up so fast, and kids are often full of trepidation at the prospect of entering a new and unfamiliar environment.

My mom and I experienced this trauma on my first day of kindergarten. She had to drag me through the doors kicking and screaming. But my negative reaction was short-lived. After the initial shock of that first parting, I quickly fell in love with school. I even developed a crush on my kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Smith!

A little separation anxiety on the first day of school is only natural. Most kids quickly overcome their fears and look forward to going to school every day, just as I did. Hopefully, you’ve been “talking up” the experience with your daughter and helping her look forward to all the fun she’ll have learning new things and meeting new friends.

If, despite your best efforts, your daughter throws a fit on that first day, the best thing you can do for her is to lovingly but firmly insist that she join the teacher and the other students. Volunteering to stay in her room beyond the appointed dropoff time will only prolong the separation trauma, not to mention disrupt the class.

Many parents are pleasantly surprised, and maybe even a little disappointed, to discover that their kids have no trouble saying goodbye on that first day of school.

Rather than whimpering and acting afraid, they hug Mom and Dad and then run to their classmates without so much as looking back.

Question: My wife and I have been married for six years and have two small children. Overall, we have a good marriage, but my wife’s impulsive spending habits are a constant source of stress. Every month, we have the same argument when the credit card bill arrives. She cries, apologizes, but then keeps spending!

Juli: Albert Einstein defined insanity as doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. We probably all fit that definition to some extent! It’s clear from your description of what is happening in your marriage that your current strategy isn’t working.

Money is a very emotional topic. People spend and save money for a variety of reasons that are often rooted in emotional needs like security, comfort, relational power and validation. So, when you and your wife have your monthly credit card bill confrontation, you are not just talking about dollars and cents.

Instead of reacting to the bill every month, it is time for you to be proactive in addressing this issue in your marriage. Your local church may offer free financial counselling or budgeting courses. One of my favourites, which is offered broadly, is called Financial Peace University by Dave Ramsey. Taking this course will help you and your wife work through a budget based on principles that you can agree on.

(You can find out more information by going to www. daveramsey.com.)

Because financial issues also involve emotions and relational tension, you may want to take the additional step of seeking marriage counselling. Yes, these steps require an investment of time and effort up front. However, financial disagreement is consistently listed as a leading cause of divorce. Your marriage is worth the effort!

Texting part of growing problem THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — Do you text behind the wheel?

What about texting and walking to the point of distraction?

Canadians send nearly 10 million text messages an hour — or 227 million per day — on their cellphones. The Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association wants pedestrians to pay attention when texting, and does not want people driving and texting.

“What we see with cellphones and texting is that it’s a growing phenomenon,” said Bernard Lord, president of the association, which collects statistics on texting and cellphone use. “You’re putting yourself in danger and you’re putting everybody else in danger when you’re driving.”

While Lord doesn’t put walking and texting on the same level as texting behind the wheel, he said people need to be aware of their surroundings.

“With the walking situation, you’re less likely to put other people in danger, but you could

put yourself in danger.

Take a look where you are. Make sure you don’t cross at an intersection and get hit.”

Despite hands-free driving legislation in some provinces, texting while driving is still a troublesome habit for some.

For Steve, texting and driving involves mostly dealing with work and it’s a daily part of his commute. He said he tries to keep his answers to mostly “Yes,” or “No” or “I will be there soon.”

“Sometimes you’ve just got to get things done right away,” said Steve, who didn’t want his real name used because of his job. He does make his in-car phone calls hands-free, but doesn’t apologize for not keeping his fingers off his smartphone’s keyboard while driving.

“You drive and you see people eating hamburgers, you see people putting on makeup, you see people reading, you see people shaving,” he said. “I don’t think it’s as dangerous as they make it out to be unless you’re getting into big, long exchanges.”

Austin back in the country saddle

BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF From full-blown metalhead to top-selling country artist to born-again rock musician, Julian Austin could well be Canada’s most dramatic musical shape-shifter.

Austin, who plays at the Friday kickoff for the Aug. 31 to Sept. 2 Ponoka Summer Send Off Music Festival that features Ian Tyson, Gord Bamford, Doc Walker and others, is happy to be back in the saddle again, so to speak. He will be performing his country music hits such as Little Ol’ Kisses before an enthusiastic Central Alberta audience.

“I’m looking forward to it. Alberta has been the No. 1 spot for me to play. It if wasn’t for Alberta fans, a lot of us (country artists) would be up the creek without a paddle,” said Austin.

Local devotees shouldn’t be surprised to hear Elvis Presley’s Burning Love on Austin’s set list. After all, the singer admitted, “As a boy, I loved Elvis — I even owned a pair of blue suede shoes!”

In fact, Austin’s latest album, One For One, includes country-flavoured renderings of that Presley song, as well as Rod Stewart’s Maggie May, Queen’s Fat Bottomed Girls and the Bee Gee’s Islands in the Stream, which was popularized by Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers.

But then, musical diversity has always been the 49-year-old’s mainstay.

As a youth, Austin gravitated towards metal and then 1970s and ’80s hair bands, including Whitesnake, Trooper and Slade.

It wasn’t until rock took an unwelcome detour to grunge that Austin, a former member of the Top-40 band Toys in the Attic, developed an affinity for country after hearing the catchy sounds of Tracy Lawrence and Dwight Yoakam in the early 1990s.

But once converted, Austin went country all the way.

He even took up bull riding, briefly, until a terrible tumble landed Austin in a Calgary hospital’s trauma unit with life-threatening injuries.

Two good things came out of that ill-fated experience, recalled Austin: He never, ever rode a bull again; and his popularity as a country artist exploded right across Canada.

“Next thing you know, I was being interviewed

by Vicki Gabereau and Mike Bullard and CMT was starting to sponsor bull riders. I think I helped bring CMT fans and professional bull riding fans together.”

Austin, who has been nominated for several Juno Awards, had a lot of good years in country music. He toured as far as Bosnia and Afghanistan entertaining Canadian troops (and gaining the nickname of GI Jules), and he made fans in every province and territory.

One of his most devoted followers was young Britney Hanson from his native New Brunswick. In 2008, Hanson died at age 13 from cystic fibrosis, and Austin became involved in an annual CF fundraiser in her name. Soon he will be headed back to the East Coast to perform at this year’s benefit.

The singer, who lives with his wife in Steinbach, Man., has designed a line of guitars and is again dabbling in the rock music of his youth.

Austin’s next album, The Julian Austin Project, is slated for a fall release and will be a complete reversal from country. He described this CD of original “party rock” music as a throwback to the days of ’80s hair bands.

Julian Austin plays the Friday kickoff for the Aug. 31 to Sept. 2 Ponoka Summer Send Off Music Festival.

SUMMER SEND OFF MUSIC FESTIVAL Ian Tyson, Gord Bamford, Dean Brody, the Mavericks, Joe Diffie and many other country artists are in the lineup for the second-annual Summer Send Off Music Festival in Ponoka from Aug. 31 to Sept. 2. The Friday Night Kick Off is at Billy Bob’s Beer Garden Saloon on the Ponoka Stampede Rodeo grounds. Doors open at 7 p.m. and Austin will perform at 8 p.m. The Saturday and Sunday performances will take place on the Gasoline Alley Harley Davidson mainstage at the Stampe p de grounds. For tickets and other information, visit www.summersendoff.ca.

“I’ll have a totally different voice — I’ll be using my rock voice,” said Austin, who feels this kind of music is fun to play and takes him back to his younger days.

But that doesn’t mean he’s done with country.

Austin’s fans can look forward to the release of a country single this fall, as well as a video on You-

Tube. The 49-year-old said, “There’s a couple of new songs I’ve written and I’m excited to get them into a studio.”

He’s also planning a best-of country album called Best of the Bad Boy, which will include six new songs. lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

Dirty politics from Ferrell, Galifianakis THE CAMPAIGN A LOUD, PROFANE AND OCCASIONALLY FUNNY POLITICAL PARODY The Campaign Two stars (out of four) Rated: 14A

BY BRUCE DEMARA SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE The Campaign is either a ridiculously overblown characterization of American politics or a searing parody/indictment of a system that rewards greed and preys on the gullibility of the electorate. Or both.

What The Campaign is not is in any way subtle. It’s loud and profane and relentlessly vulgar. It’s also occasionally funny.

“War has rules, mud wrestling has rules, politics has no rules,” we’re told. Even a cursory examination of U.S. politics would bear that out, which makes one lean towards the parody argument.

If you’ve seen the trailer, then you’ve already seen one of the film’s more appalling moments: incumbent Congressman Cam Brady (Will Ferrell), slugging a baby upon whom challenger Marty Hugng to gins (Zach Galifianakis) was preparing bestow a standard campaign kiss. rflowBut the film is filled — overflowarker ing, in fact — with far darker stuff, cruel insults using lanna guage you couldn’t show in ctrailer (or put in print), tactics more suited to gladiatorial combat, and a pall of cynicism that hangs in the air like the smell of an abattoir. It takes a dim view of the average American voter in their willingness to elect an odious candidate no matter how low he stoops.

Ostensibly, The Campaign is about the faceoff for a North Carolina district, sparked by the super-es rich Motch brothers (rhymes with Koch), who decide to he field a candidate against the incumbent because they fear he won’t support the creation of an economic zone that provides wagess and na. working conditions on par with China. ive the Motch It’s a shame the script doesn’t give boys (John Lithgow and Dan Aykroyd) anything particularly funny to do or say.

A And the race is on, getting di dirtier and meaner as election da approaches. (Huggins’ campaign day sloga “It’s a mess,” is unexpectedly porslogan, tentous.)

Ferrell attacks the role of Brady with the kind of sociopathic glee that — spoiler alert — makes his eventual moral epiphany seem both out of character

and implausible.

Galifianakis imbues his role of a milquetoast family man who loses his moral compass as he becomes angrier with some actual acting chops. Too bad no one else in the film shows similar finesse.

The sole exception is Brian Cox as Huggins’ bourbon-soaked father, who could give the rest of the cast lessons in the less-is-more school of acting. His few moments on screen are comic gold.

Suffice to say, serious political junkies from the left or the right probably will, and should, give The Campaign a wide berth. But it’s sure to find an audience among that segment of the electorate whose intelligence it so mercilessly insults.

Gay rights issues rise in rap HIP-HOP STARS START TO HIT ’PAUSE’ ON HOMOPHOBIA

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — Snoop Dogg has rapped in songs where gay slurs have been tossed about.

He’s even said them, part of a long list of rappers who have freely used the f-word — the other f-word — in rhyme.

For years, anti-gay epithets and sentiments in rap have largely been accepted, along with its frequent misogyny and violence, as part of the hip-hop culture — a culture that has been slow to change, even as gays enjoy more mainstream acceptance, particularly in entertainment.

But while perhaps glacial, a shift appears to be on the horizon.

“People are learning how to live and get along more, and accept people for who they are and not bash them or hurt them because they’re different,” Snoop Dogg said in a recent interview.

Frank Ocean may be largely responsible for that. The rising star, who revealed on his blog last month that his first love was a man, is technically an R&B singer. But he has produced and collaborated with some of music’s top hip-hop acts, from Jay-Z to Andre 3000 to Kanye West to Nas. He’s also cowritten songs for Beyonce, Justin Bieber and John Legend, and is a member of the alternative rap group Odd Future.

“When I was growing up, you could never do that and announce that,” Snoop said of Ocean’s revelation.

“There would be so much scrutiny and hate and negativity, and no one would step (forward) to support you because that’s what we were brainwashed and trained to know.”

When 24-year-old Ocean made his announcement, he received a ton of support from the music world, mainly through Twitter and blogs, including encouraging words from 50 Cent, Nas, Jamie Foxx, Def Jam Records founder Russell Simmons, Beyonce and Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Even Ocean’s Odd Future band mate, Tyler, the Creator, showed some love, though he’s used homophobic slurs in his songs. “(The support for Frank is) an extension of the overall kind of support we’re seeing across the country for LGBT people, and not just in a broad sense, but specifically from iconic members of the black community,” said Daryl Hannah, GLAAD’s director of media and community partnerships, who namedropped President Barack Obama and Jay-Z as those leading the change.

While the support for Ocean is strong, and some rappers — including Nicki Minaj — have said a gay rapper will soon hit the music scene, it’s still

hard to imagine that the male-dominated, macho rap world could include a gay performer.

Anti-gay sentiments have been entrenched in hip-hop for decades. Darryl “D.M.C.” McDaniels of the iconic rap group Run D.M.C., says it was the norm for years.

“You would have had 50 rappers jump on a song, diss the gay people because it’s cool,” said D.M.C. That attitude has abated little, even as other parts of the entertainment industry have curtailed what many consider to be anti-gay material. (Last year, Universal Pictures altered a trailer for the movie “Dilemma” because a character called a car “gay.”)

Eminem was targeted by groups like GLAAD for his incessant slurs against gays, a role that now seems to be embodied by Tyler, the Creator, in his raps. Lil Wayne recently used the fword on Chris Brown’s Look at Me Now, a Grammy-nominated Top 10 pop hit and No. 1 rap and R&B song. There are also terms like “no homo” and “pause” used in the hip-hop community after an utterance to acknowledge that what was said does not have any homosexual intent.

Wu-Tang Clan has had a number of songs that contain the f-word. In an interview, Wu-Tang’s Ghostface Killah recently explained the genre’s stance toward gays like this: “For the most part I think that hip-hop is, you know, we always have been open-minded to a lot of things. It’s just certain things we just — we don’t deal with.”

When asked if a gay rapper could make it in hip-hop, Raekwon, another Wu-Tang member, said: “I mean, I don’t know. I guess that’s a question we all want to know.”

When asked the same question, Snoop said with a laugh: “There might be some openly gay rappers in hip-hop that’s having success — for real. You never know. There might be some(one) right now that hasn’t pulled a Frank Ocean yet, that hasn’t jumped out of the closet to the living room to make that announcement.”

Ice-T said he could see a gay rapper on the scene — depending on what kind of rap he or she performed.

“I’ve done hardcore hip-hop in my life where masculinity is at a premium. At this moment right now, we’re in the world of pop-rap and it doesn’t really matter right now. These guys are singing, it’s pop music and being in pop and gay is OK,” he said. “It would be difficult to listen to a gay gangster rapper . . . If you’re a gangster rapper like myself and Ice Cube . . . if one of us came out and said something, that would be a big thing. That would be like, ’Whoa! What?”’

But some of hip-hop’s key figures have given some kind of support to

Rapper Eminem performs at the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles in 2010. Antigay sentiments have been entrenched in hip-hop for decades. Eminem, widely known for offensive lyrics toward homosexuals, has joined Jay-Z in saying people of the same sex should be able to love one another. the gay community. Pharrell recently collaborated with the openly gay pop singer Mika on the song “Celebrate.”

Jay-Z, like Eminem, has said people of the same sex should be able to love one another. Eminem performed with Elton John at the 2001 Grammy Awards at the height of GLAAD’s criticism.

D.M.C. is skeptical about some of hip-hop’s recent support of Ocean, since he believes homophobia is still rampant in the culture. Still, he is sure a homosexual hip-hop act will emerge: “Of course there’s going to be a gay rapper.” He said that a rapper’s success would be determined not by his sexuality, but by the quality of his raps.

Shaheem Reid, a veteran hip-hop journalist, said the inroads that gays have made in mainstream culture have made a dent in the rap world: “Hip-hop is just a reflection of what’s going on.”

He added that gay rappers can gain mainstream exposure, but that will come with challenges.

“I think that if the music is great enough and the topics are great enough, there’s a slight chance,” said Reid, who is editor-at-large for hiphop’s XXL magazine.

“If there was a homosexual emcee, male or female, I don’t think that talking about them being gay or lesbian could be the only substance in their music.”

Korean rapper enjoying pop culture moment with music video

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — Korean rapper PSY — who is having a pop culture moment with his viral music video for Gangnam Style — says he’s been doing funky choreography for a decade in his native Korea. But he’s excited his colorful style is being celebrated in the United States, and around the world.

“I did a lot of strange dance moves for 12 years in Korea,” PSY said in an interview Wednesday, adding that the reaction today reminds him of his musical debut back home. “This is kind of (the) same story.”

The music video for Gangnam Style, released last month, so far has garnered more than 49 million views on YouTube.

The bright, vibrant clip PSY features the comedic and flamboyant PSY delivering somewhat bizarre choreography — including a horse-riding dance — while rapping and singing in Korean over a thumping, dance-flavoured beat. The video, full of colorful, lively outfits, includes a mob of dancers backing PSY and the only words he says in English are “Hey, sexy lady.” It’s currently No. 1 on iTunes’ music videos chart.

“The thing is, I have special visuals. I’m not like (a) normal entertainer (when it comes to visuals),” he said.

“That’s why when I dance . it looks different. I have a different body, different shape, different visuals.”

The 34-year-old, born Jae-Sang Park, is a widely famous star in Korea, and is

enjoying his U.S. breakthrough. His stage name is derived from “psycho” and he writes and produces his own music. Gangnam Style is about the lavish and luxurious lifestyle connected to the trendy Gangnam district, located in Seoul. PSY even choreographed the routines in the clip.

“In Korea they’re celebrating me because I didn’t try anything. I didn’t promote, I didn’t target anything about going overseas,” he said. “It just happened like this with YouTube and Twitter. I think those two feed me.”

“Years ago we talked about this great, democratizing force the Internet was going to be, and it would strip down nationalities and barriers and boundaries, and this is a great way of that happening,” said Bill Werde, the editor of Billboard. “In some ways it’s very simple. There’s no great science behind it. Someone saw a video that they loved and they shouted about it.”

Of millions watching the viral video, there are a growing number of celebrities expressing their love for the song, including Katy Perry, T-Pain, Robbie Williams, Josh Groban and Nelly Furtado, who performed some of the song at a recent concert.

“When I r e a l i z e d DIARY OF A WIMPY KID 3 G 1:25, 3:45, 7:25, 9:55 that some 3D PG t o p s t a r s STEP UP REVOLUTION 1:05, 3:50 l i k e h a v e STEP UP REVOLUTION 2D PG 7:10 imagined

or tweeted about me, I thought like, ’That’s joking . . . . That’s not gonna happen,”’ he said. “I never expect things like this, not because they are top stars but because this is the biggest market in the universe for pop music, right, so everybody’s dreaming about having appearance in the U.S. so I’m still saying .’What am I doing . . . here?

This is beautiful.”’

Gangnam Style appears on PSY’s sixth studio album, PSY 6. He had a meeting with Justin Bieber’s manager, Scooter Braun, last week. But the singer-rapper was tight-lipped.

“He doesn’t want me to talk about our relationship yet so, what can I say?” PSY said, adding with a laugh: “He’s a nice person.”

The chubby musician is finding success at a time when K-Pop, Korean pop music, is growing in the United States.

But PSY, whose song is spending its fourth week on top of Billboard’s K-Pop Hot 100 chart, says he doesn’t fit the typical mould of most K-Pop artists, and he’s OK with it.

“There are standards, like skinny, muscular, handsome, pretty, tall, whatever, none (of those) categories belong to me,” he said with a laugh. “Doing it not right is right,” he added. “That was my whole life. I was not suitable visually, musically, anything. I was not the standard. I was not suitable for common standards, and that can be unique, but in another way, it can be negative.”

PSY was born in Korea, but briefly attended Boston University and Berklee College of Music. He released his debut PSY from the PSYcho World!” in 2001, and said his musical influences are mainly rappers, like Eminem.

B.B. King gives intimate ‘homecoming’ performance in the Mississippi Delta

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS INDIANOLA, Miss. — A crescent moon hung over the Mississippi Delta as a legendary bluesman crept onto the stage. He sat in a folding chair, grabbed a guitar, and introduced each member of his band. Then, as if it was needed, he introduced himself.

“I guess you can look at me and tell I’m the old man. My name is B.B. King.”

At 86, King may be greyer and slower than he used to be, but there’s no questioning his ability to please fans.

King performed for about an hour Wednesday night on an outdoor stage at the B.B. King Museum and Delta Interpretive Center in Indianola, built on the site of a cotton gin where he worked as teenager while growing up in the impoverished delta.

King was born in Leflore County but spent time in several cities, including Indianola, Kilmichael and Lexington.

He was honoured earlier this week in Kilmichael with a marker on the Mississippi Blues Trail, which memorializes and markets Mississippi as the birthplace of the blues.

The 32nd annual B.B. King Homecoming was Indianola’s turn to celebrate. The crowd was young and old, from as far Britain, or from just down the street.

IN

NEW YORK — Documentary filmmaker Morgan Spurlock is coming to CNN for a new weekend series that will take a close look at areas of American life that don’t normally get much attention.

The series “Inside Man” will look at gun lovers, marijuana growers, end of life caregivers and migrant farmworkers in its early episodes. Spurlock is best known for his Oscar-nominated film “Super Size Me,” where he subsisted on only McDonald’s food for 30 days.

The show is expected to debut in April, paired with another new series from chef Anthony Bourdain.

Both series are from outside production companies and represent an experiment for CNN, which has had ratings troubles in recent years.

ment of Corrections says Mark David Chapman was denied parole after a hearing Wednesday.

Chapman shot Lennon in December 1980 outside the Manhattan apartment building where the former Beatle lived. He was sentenced in 1981 to 20 years to life in prison after pleading guilty to second-degree murder.

The 57-year-old Chapman was transferred in May from the Attica Correctional Facility to the nearby Wende Correctional Facility.

John Lennon’s killer denied parole for seventh time ALBANY, N.Y. — John Lennon’s killer has been denied release from prison in his seventh appearance before a parole board.

said Luke Woodcock of Bristol, England, who ended up at the show almost by chance as he was touring the United States with a friend, Barney Ware of Cheltenham, England. The 25-year-old friends were in Clarksdale this week when they heard King was performing the next night.

“This whole trip has been about a year in the making,” Ware said. “This is the best thing.”

Before taking stage, King took time to connect with his younger fans. He brought the W.A. Higgins Rock Ensemble from Clarksdale, a group of children ages 11 to 14, aboard his tour bus for a private meeting.

“It was, oh my God, like the best thing that ever happened to me,” 13-year-old Brittney Marshall said. “I really am speechless.”

The setting was intimate. He sat close to the edge of a stage on a grass lawn outside the museum. There were no fixed seats and a crowd stood just inches from the star as he plucked off some tunes. He asked the crowd to sing along with him at times, saying “this one is for the ladies” before playing “Do You Know You Are My Sunshine.”

“I didn’t see you shake your booty one time,” King teased a fan.

King closed with one of his anthems, “The Thrill is Gone.”

For his fans on a hot night in the Mississippi Delta, the thrill was back.

ANNIE ANNIE

Dear Mommy: Whether or not they respect you, they should respect the child and not do things that will confuse and disturb him. Still, you cannot control what these relatives do, so we recommend you inform your son about his origins in an appropriate manner as soon as possible.

He needs to understand that this woman is his biological mother, but she was unable to take care of him and you wanted him very much, and you both love him deeply.

Talk to your pediatrician about the best way to handle this, and perhaps get a referral to a family therapist.

Dear Annie: This is in response to “Crying in Ohio,” whose husband of 46 years told her she is terribly obese.

My father suffered from dementia in his later years.

We were all hurt and confused by the mean-spirited comments he made, but after his diagnosis, we realized those remarks were the first sign of the disease.

If this behavior is out of the norm, she should take her husband to a doctor and find out whether there is a medical cause. There may be medication to help, and she won’t waste precious years being angry with him for something he can’t control. — Omaha Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You’re looking at your life these days and wondering if you are really OK with it.

These thoughts should not make you sad, rather, they are designed to get you to reconnect with your power to make changes to the way you live.

The Red Deer Servus Credit Union Braves captured the provincial bantam AAA baseball Tier II championship in Okotoks.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Right now, well-intentioned people may bring up your fears. It’s easy to dismiss your feelings, but that would be missing the opportunity to confront what you really feel. Your honesty can change the trajectory of your life.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): There’s nothing sullied about materialism when it is the acknowledgment that we live in a physical space that is worthy of being honored. Prosperity is trying to find you now. Do not stop the current. You deserve abundance.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): We’re all a product of our heredity and our environment, but this is not to discount that we do have a will of our own. At our best, we are self-directing, but not if it comes at the cost of authenticity.

You feel strongly now. Allow it to lead you to empowered choices.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Being human holds universal themes, things that we all experience as part of our condition.

You’re now having an insight into how you can artificially separate yourself from your fellows. Let the shared love, joy, and universal emotions bring others closer.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Fate and free will exist in a fine balance. Fate can seem to work against us, but is always on our side. One of the most special and sacred things to being human is that we have an agency of our own. You are bringing both into equilibrium.

Losing Your Grip?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Everything is coming together. The restlessness you now feel will give way to an important decision. The choice has to do with deciding what you really want from yourself and what will no longer influence your fulfillment.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You are questioning the value of your environment, but this may not be the time to make a big change. Even if you want to leave, you will not leave. For now, simply let the considerations continue.

The way forward will reveal itself another time.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In the privacy of your early morning hours, you are working on something special.

Enjoy this time of creation. No need to hurry your declaration. Your shot will come. This time of attention is valuable.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Defense mechanisms are wise. They originate in a need to protect our self. However, what happens when the threat no longer exists? Your need to guard has outworn its usefulness. A change is being asked for. It starts by being open to love in all its forms.

Retro styles the fall fad for eyeglasses

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — From ray-shielding shades to prescription pairs, the eyes truly have it when it comes to framing faces in stylish specs.

Sherry Pounds, vice-president of product for LensCrafters, said this fall will mark a throwback to classic styles of the ’20s, ’50s and ’80s.

“What is old is new again,” she said from Mason, Ohio. “You can think like flapper, Great Gatsby, Marilyn Monroe, kind of MTV and personal computers. And really, what is happening is with the popularity of television shows and movies that are being created in past decades, retro styles are making a comeback this season.”

Pounds said eyewear collections are showing a trend in round glasses.

But she also noted the sleek cat eye — sported by screen and style icons like Brigitte Bardot and the late Audrey Hepburn — has also made a major resurgence and quickly become a classic style for optical wearers.

Amin Mamdani, vice-president of operations and buyer for Josephson Opticians in Toronto, said retro styles are among those translating from adult eyewear to “Mini-Me” frames for the younger crowd — albeit with a fresh twist.

“You are seeing a lot of the wayfarer kind of look which is the chunkier plastics, but with colour,” he said. “So there’s a lot of tone-on-tone, there’s a lot of two-tone; so you’ve got a complimentary colour and you’ve got something that’s a contrast colour.

“With kids, you can actually have lime-green, blues, reds, and let them have fun, because (those are) the colours they wear a lot of, rather than just being solids and being safe.”

Mamdani said styles for kids’ eyewear tend to veer more towards chunky

definitely see a change in the styles,” she said.

Despite a high prescription and thick lenses, Reuben said the latest incarnations of frames allows Justin to sport a small pair that are lightweight and easy to manage. While he has started to outgrow a pre-existing pair of circular, black frames, she said he still has others to choose from to help sharpen his vision — and even make a bespectacled style statement.

“Sometimes he’ll say, ‘No, Mummy, I want to wear my other ones, and I don’t ask why, I don’t ask questions.”

“And really, the trend brings an extra bit of luxury by adding style and texture with the use of these unexpected materials.”

With Justin Reuben’s older brother already sporting specs, his mother, Lesley, said there was little nudging required to get her six-year-old to embrace wearing his glasses.

The duo stopped by Josephson Opticians to pick up yet another new pair — the fourth since Justin started wearing glasses about two years ago.

“I find now that kids’ glasses look like adult glasses. They’re funkier. I

THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — A homegrown program supporting up-and-coming Canadian designers has revealed its list of finalists set to showcase collections at Toronto Fashion Week.

Designers from across Canada applied to take part in Mercedes-Benz Start Up. The initiative was launched last year in an effort to offer a nationwide platform to discover and support emerging designers who’ve been in business less than five years.

Searches for leading emerging designers were staged over the course of five months in Edmonton, Halifax, Quebec City and Ottawa. In each city, homegrown talents presented business plans and collections to a panel of industry experts tasked with whittling down the pool of applicants.

The five semi-finalists are: P.E.I. sibling design duo Hilary and Louanna Murphy from Dreamboat Lucy; Edmonton-based Malorie Urbanovitch; Montrealer Duy Nguyen of DUY; Calgary-born, Toronto-based womenswear designer Caitlin Power; and Milantrained, Toronto-based menswear designer Christopher Bates.

Rounding out the final list are newly named wild-card entrants: Calgary’s Lauren Bagliore, Edmonton’s Nicole Campre, and Vancouver’s Patty Nayel of Pure Magnolia.

All eight contending labels are set to debut spring 2013 capsule collections at a MercedesBenz Start Up group runway show at Toronto’s World MasterCard Fashion Week in October.

The winning recipient will receive a fully-produced solo runway show for fall 2013 collections next March in addition to editorial coverage in Fashion Magazine and mentorship support from fashion industry experts and insiders.

Start Up is produced in association with the Fashion Design Council of Canada and IMG Fashion.

Emerging designers named for TFS showcase

rather than fine frames in a downsized version of adult looks that are better suited to smaller-sized faces.

“A lot of colours, a lot of textures, more plastic than we’ve ever seen before in the past; so a lot of the chunkier looks with colour rather than just being black or tortoise which we see a lot in adult frames.”

The proliferation of bright colours has been a signature story in fashion and home decor this year, and the infusion of hues is leaving a bold mark on frames.

Mamdani said many of the sunglasses available today are acetate or plastic frames, with kids’ varieties in orange, red, blue, green and white for the season.

Pounds said patterns are becoming more prevalent with a nod toward animal print. Splashes of colour are also adorning the inside of glasses as well as the front and temple areas, she noted.

While there are subtle details such as keyhole bridges and slimmer, more refined temples defining some frames, others have seen another trickle-down from the fashion runways with the featuring of over-the-top embellishments.

Pounds said this has translated to eyewear with precious metal detailing and other touches demarcating several styles.

“Whether it’s logo detail, knots, bows or jewels, these eye-catching embellishments and ornamentation on both optical and sunglass frames are really calling for more attention this season.”

Also echoing another ripped-fromthe-runway trend featured in apparel and accessories is the mixing of materials.

“For instance, leather, whip-stitching detail, metal, acetate, wood-like and fabric combinations are being used,” said Pounds.

HANSEN Feb. 18, 1932- Aug. 20, 2012 Marcia Mae Grit was born February 18, 1932 in Detroit, Michigan. She was the first daughter born to William and Maxine Grit. She married (Carl) Erik Hansen in April 1956.

Together they worked and saved to buy a farm near Dickson, Alberta. Daughter Yvonne was born in 1958. Six weeks later Marcia travelled in a convoy with Erik, newborn baby Yvonne, and brother and sister-in-law John and Grethe Hansen, from Michigan to arrive in Dickson, Alberta. The trip took 4 days and they drove through several winter storms before arriving at their first farm, now under the depths of Glennifer Lake. Son Neil arrived in 1961. Mom was a big city girl but learned how to help with the farm work and kept the farm records meticulously for nearly 30 years. She was a thrifty woman and ‘made do’ with less many times over.

Marcia was very curious about anything and everything.

Marcia enjoyed sewing, reading, knitting, playing BINGO at Spruce View, card games and word games. When macular degeneration robbed her vision she really missed her hobbies and being able to drive over and drop in for coffee and a visit with her many friends. Mom moved to Autumn Glen Lodge in July 2011. She loved being there and made many new friends in her new home. At Autumn Glen there was finally no cooking and no cleaning for her to do. Mom was predeceased by her parents, brothers Jim, George and David, Ronald and Donald; brother in law John Hansen; sisters in law Lucy and Sherri. She is survived by her husband Erik Hansen of Innisfail, Alberta; daughter Yvonne (Tony) de Waal, of Ponoka, Alberta; son Neil Hansen (Alanna Lockwood) from Sundre, Alberta. She will be missed by her four beloved grandchildren: Naomi (Dylan) Bressey of Grand Prairie, Alberta; Travis Hansen of Spruce View, Alberta; Stacie Hansen of Prince George, British Columbia, Andrew de Waal of Ponoka, Alberta. Her extended family includes sister Jean Shoen from Jackson Michigan, brother in law Oluf Hansen of Grand Rapids, Michigan; sisters in law: Agnes (Jens) Simonson of Holt, Michigan, Pat Grit of Grand Rapids, Michigan and Grethe Hansen of Innisfail, Alberta. She has a number of nieces and nephews in Canada and the USA who remember will remember her.

There are several relatives in Denmark that she kept in touch with over the years. She has a large number of friends throughout central Alberta and kept in touch with many old friends in Michigan over the years. Marcia was blessed to have had the chance to meet and spend an hour visiting her first and only great grandson, Theou Bressey. Her beloved dog Girlie held a special place in her heart. A memorial service will be held at Metcalf Funeral Chapel on Saturday, August 25, 2012 at 3:00pm. Messages of condolence may be forwarded to the family through www.metcalffuneralchapel.com.

In Memoriam Jason Lorne Paulson June 20, 1980 - Aug. 24, 2011 Dear Jason, One year ago today the Angels came and took you away.

Everyday has been a challenge, we have shed many tears.

If only we could have kept you far and beyond 31 years.

If there was a stairway to heaven so we could visit We would be there in less than a minute.

Those blue eyes, sense of humor and easy chuckle Dad keeps you close and everyday wears your buckle.

As your Mom the cross I wear close to my heart I touch everyday, 365 days we have been apart.

Jared misses so much his brother and best friend If the power was his, you would be home again.

Tikka still listens for the sound of your voice, for you to come through the door, we know would be her choice.

It broke our hearts to lose you but you know you didn’t go alone for a part of us went with you the day God called you home. Watch over us and guide us till our time on earth is done where we will join hands once again, then our circle will be one.

Jason you are missed oh so much.

All our Love, Hugs and Kisses Dad, Mom, Jared and Tikka

SEAL who wrote book on Bin Laden raid could face legal trouble

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — The U.S. Navy commando who wrote an account of the raid that killed Osama bin Laden under a pseudonym was identified Thursday as Matt Bissonnette, who retired from the Navy last summer.

Bissonnette was first identified by Fox News.

One current and one former U.S. military official confirmed the name, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss military personnel matters.

The book, “No Easy Day,” is scheduled to be released Sept. 11, with the author listed under the pseudonym of Mark Owen. Penguin Group (USA)’s Dutton imprint, the publisher, asked news organizations Thursday to withhold his identity.

“Sharing the true story of his personal experience in ’No Easy Day’ is a courageous act in the face of obvious risks to his personal security,” Dutton spokeswoman Christine Ball said in a statement. “That personal security is the sole reason the book is being published under a pseudonym.”

Bissonnette also changed the names of the other SEALs in the account, the publisher says.

Navy commandos are known as SEALs. Special Operations Command spokesman Col. Tim Nye said the retired SEAL could be endangered by being identified, which could also expose those active-duty SEALs the author worked with in the killing of bin Laden in Abbottabad, Pakistan, last year.

The book and the author’s name also come out amid debate over the possible damage to U.S. national security by leaks in the media about top secret operations. Yet the book also comes at a time when special operations forces are prominently featured in the media as never

before, even as the elite organizations demand secrecy.

Efforts to locate Bissonnette for comment were unsuccessful.

A rash of new books trumpet special operators’ exploits. For example, “American Sniper,” a bestseller by recently retired SEAL Chris Kyle, details his 150-plus kills of insurgents from 1999 to 2009.

A handful of special operations advocacy groups have sprung up decrying leaks, but they identify themselves by name as former members of some of the elite units, in an online campaign video that slams President Barack Obama for releasing details of the bin Laden raid.

One of the advocacy groups is run by retired Navy SEAL Ryan Zinke, who prominently mentions his time years ago at SEAL Team 6, the top secret unit that carried out the bin Laden raid.

Even Special Operations Command made an exception to its normal reticence with the media when it signed off on this year’s movie “Act of Valor,” which followed real active duty SEALs carrying out training exercises that were turned into what looked like real action scenes for the film.

The author of “No Easy Day” is slated to appear in shadow in promotional interviews for the book, meant to conceal his identity. The book is already listed as one of the top 10 books on Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble.com.

Beyond the risk he faces now that his identity is known, he could also face legal trouble if the Pentagon determines that he disclosed classified information in the account.

U.S. military and intelligence officials say they do not believe the book has been read or cleared by the Defence Department. The Pentagon reviews publications by military members — both active duty and retired — to make sure that no classified material is disclosed.

WASHINGTON — Republican presidential challenger Mitt Romney is trying to turn the campaign focus back to the economy as he heads into the party nominating convention next week, hoping to put behind him a difficult stretch that involved heated debate on hotbutton social issues where the party is less than sure-footed.

Reviving unfulfilled plans of presidents and presidential candidates dating back decades, Romney pledged to make the U.S., Canada and Mexico energy independent by 2020.

“This is not some pie in the sky kind of thing,” Romney told voters in Hobbs, New Mexico, the heart of the southwestern state’s oil and gas industry.

“This is a real achievable objective.”

The shift to energy and jobs marked an obvious attempt to change the subject after Romney’s campaign to unseat President Barack Obama was badly knocked off stride this week.

Romney was caught up in a national political storm over the remarks by a fellow Republican — a candidate for the Senate from Missouri — about women’s bodies being able to prevent pregnancy in cases of “legitimate rape.”

In a bid to distance themselves from Rep. Todd Akin and his remarks, Romney, his vice-presidential running mate Rep. Paul Ryan and an assortment of top Republicans said the Senate candidate should quit the race. Akin has refused to leave the contest and still has the support of a large sector of the evangelical Christian base in the Republican party.

The uproar threatened to weaken Republican attempts to show a unified front at their national convention that opens on Monday and will conclude with the formal nomination of Romney and Ryan later in the week. To stifle that threat, Ryan called for Akin to step aside even though the Missouri Republican was defending his stand that abortion should be illegal even in the case of rape.

Ryan shares that view and like Akin, has repeatedly sought passage of legislation in the House of Representatives that

would outlaw abortion, even for victims of rape and incest.

Romney, who backed abortion rights when he successfully ran for governor of Massachusetts, a moderate state, now opposes the procedure but would leave it available in cases of rape, incest or to protect the life of the mother.

Ryan issued a statement Wednesday saying Romney’s position would hold sway.

As he tries to direct the debate elsewhere, Romney promoted energy proposals Thursday aimed at creating what he said would be more than 3 million new jobs. He also called for opening more areas for drilling off the coast of two politically critical states, Virginia and North Carolina. That is part of the wealthy businessman-turned politician’s plan for reviving the struggling U.S. economy.

Those issues were seen as key to a potential Romney victory over Obama on Nov. 6. The incumbent’s campaign, however, has been successful this summer in steering the debate away from the economy and toward questions about Romney’s record as co-founder of the Bain Capital private equity firm from which he amassed a quarter-billion dollar fortune.

Obama also managed to distract from the lacklustre economy by focusing on Romney’s refusal to release more than two years of his federal income tax records, raising questions about what percentage of his income the Republican candidate actually paid to the government.

More recently, before the storm over Akin’s remarks, both sides in the race were battling each other over other social issues like welfare to the poor and government-sponsored Medicare health insurance for Americans over age 65. Romney has signed on to a Ryan plan that would turn the program into one in which the government gave Medicareeligible Americans a fixed payment to help in buying insurance from private companies.

Polls show that is an unpopular plan, especially among senior citizens. Obama’s campaign also began a new push on the economy Thursday with a television advertisement featuring former President Bill

Clinton. In the ad, Clinton speaks directly to the camera and says voters face a “clear choice” over which candidate will return the nation to full employment.

“We need to keep going with his plan,” Clinton says of Obama in the ad, which will run in eight battleground states.

The former president also draws a connection between Obama’s policies for strengthening the middle class and the nation’s economic prosperity during his time in office.

Obama’s campaign has been seeking to use Clinton as a reminder to voters that the economy was strong the last time a Democrat held the White House. Romney was travelling from Arkansas to New Mexico on Thursday to discuss what the candidate said was a comprehensive energy plan that would result in more than $1 trillion in revenue for federal, state and local governments, plus millions of jobs.

The most significant aspects of Romney’s plans hinge on opening up more areas for offshore oil drilling, including in the mid-Atlantic, where it is currently banned. Romney also wants to give states the power to establish all forms of energy production on federal lands, a significant shift in current policy that could face strong opposition in Congress.

The Romney plan makes little mention of wind energy, which Obama has pushed heavily in states such as Iowa and Colorado. Obama has pressed Congress to extend a tax credit for producers of wind energy, an approach that Romney opposes.

The presumptive Republican nominee has significant ties to big oil and raised at least $7 million from industry executives this week during fundraisers in Texas.

Romney’s campaign says his strategy would achieve energy independence by 2020.

Obama campaign spokeswoman Lis Smith called Romney’s energy plan “backward.”

“This isn’t a recipe for energy independence,” Smith said.

“It’s just another irresponsible scheme to help line the pockets of big oil while allowing the U.S to fall behind and cede the clean energy sector to China.”
