Exotic birds keeping Resource local rescuers busy slump leaves MEDICINE RIVER WILDLIFE CENTRE CALLED OUT TO CATCH FOURTH PARROT SO FAR THIS SUMMER

BY BRENDA KOSSOWAN ADVOCATE STAFF Local naturalist Judy Boyd was called to rescue a domestic bird for the fourth time this summer on Thursday afternoon.

She had previously captured a rainbow lorikeet, a Senegal parrot and a cockatiel.

Two of the birds have been returned to their owners, but the cockatiel has not been claimed, said Boyd.

The latest call came from Red Deer resident Louise West, who had returned home from vacation a few days earlier to find a green bird with a red beak hiding in one of the apple trees in her yard on Revie Close.

West told the Advocate that she and her husband tried to lure the bird into a cage, but were unsuccessful, possibly because the cage was built for a smaller bird. When they tried to catch the bird, it would squawk and fly out of reach.

The bird seems to have had its wings clipped because it doesn’t fly well, said West.

However, it was flying well enough to avoid capture when Boyd went to the West home to try to catch it on Thursday.

Boyd identified the bird as a rose-ringed parakeet.

She set out a cage with food and water in hope of tempting the bird down from its perch. If that doesn’t work, she said she’ll try a bigger cage. She planned to return today for another try.

An investigation by the Advocate, including an online search as well as calls to veterinary clinics and rescue agencies, did not turn up anyone who was missing a bird.

Staff at the Red Deer and District SPCA said the organization had no records on file of anyone reporting a missing bird.

The SPCA does not accept birds because it does not have the facilities to hold them. Instead, such birds are referred to the Medicine River Wildlife Centre, located west of Spruce View.

Carol Kelly, founder and operator of centre, said she received two calls recently from people who lost their parrots, but both birds were located and returned.

Farrant said it is not uncommon for people to turn a parrot loose because they are no longer willing or able to look after it.

coffers dry

EDMONTON — Falling oil revenues and a volatile global marketplace are hammering Alberta’s bottom line and may leave taxpayers with a deficit as large as $3 billion this year, Finance Minister Doug Horner announced Thursday.

Political opponents, however, said mismanagement by Premier Alison Redford’s government is the true culprit.

The original projected deficit in 2012-13 budget was $886 million, but that may end up between $2.3 billion and $3 billion, Horner said as he released the first-quarter update.

Horner said financial crises in Europe, economic uncertainty in the United States, political upheaval in the Middle East and record growth in China make it difficult to peg where world oil prices will go.

“All of these things are frankly beyond our control, but they affect Alberta and they affect our bottom line,” said Horner.

The government won’t incur any long-term debt as the shortfall will be covered by the $6.3-billion Sustainability Fund.

Horner reported that overall revenue decreased by $400 million in the first three months of the fiscal year because of lower oil and bitumen royalties.

Expenses increased by $5 million due to disaster funding.

He noted oil has recently fluctuated between about US$109 and US$77 a barrel and currently sits at about US$95.

Horner said the government is taking action to ensure it meets Redford’s promise of balancing the budget by 2014.

“We are tightening our belts,” he said.

He said government departments have been directed to spend less than their budgets and find other efficiencies to save at least $500 million in total.

Ministers have been asked to review their capital budgets to see where money can be saved.

Card skimming scam strikes region

BY JESSICA JONES ADVOCATE STAFF Brittney Neufeld thought her accounts were more secure after acquiring her new debit chip card from her bank provider on Sunday.

She thought wrong.

Only a day later, the Red Deer woman’s account was frozen and a sinking suspicion was confirmed: Her card had been compromised.

When Neufeld, 24, went to her bank, ATB Financial, over lunch on Monday, she was told that she was one of about 20 other people who had their cards compromised just that day.

Luckily, the bank caught the fraudulent activity before her account was drained.

RCMP have referred to this activity as “card skimming.” And even though more banks have turned to credit and debit cards with chip and personal identification number (PIN) technology, which supposedly has added security features, the problems continue to happen.

Cpl. Kathe DeHeer of the Red Deer City RCMP said a substantial amount of money is lost every year due to card skimming.

“It is very prevalent and people should be mindful that it is in Red Deer, it’s everywhere,” she said.

More than 89 per cent of credit card or ATM fraud is related to organized crime in Canada, DeHeer said. In 2009, $45.7 million was lost to credit and debit card fraud.

Card skimming happens when a business has its debit or credit card reader or point-of-sale terminal switched with one containing Bluetooth technology. The technology records the information, including the consumer’s PIN, DeHeer said.

She said, for example, that a group of people will fly out from Toronto, come to Red Deer and install “a whole pile” of skimming devices and leave a day later.

“Then it’s a couple of days before people notice something is amiss and they are gone,” she said.

Neufeld asked her bank how she could find out where her card was compromised and was told she needed to make a file with the local RCMP. “The bank asked me ‘Why do you want to know if no money was taken out of your account?’ and I said I want to know where it happened so I don’t go there again.

“But it was like, here is your new card, done,” Neufeld said of her experience with her bank.

Stefanie Couture, 26, of Red Deer, also had problems with her chip debit card.

STORIES FROM PAGE A1

PARROT: Unusual to get so many calls in one year Known for their longevity, parrots sometimes outlive their owners and can also outlive their welcome, said Farrant.

Boyd said that while she is called from time to time to rescue a domestic bird, it is unusual to get so many calls in one year.

Despite the perils that domestic animals face when freed, some are able to thrive on their own, said Boyd.

So far, none of the exotic birds released in this area in recent years

Her chequing account with RBC Royal Bank was drained of over $1,000 about a month ago.

“I woke up one morning and my account was empty so I went online and went to the bank,” she said.

She said that the bank denied that card skimming or fraudulent activity was behind her loss and that she was responsible for it.

“I was sleeping, my card didn’t get stolen, no one has my PIN number but they think that I did it. I swear to God I didn’t,” she said. “They made me feel like I was the criminal.”

Much like Neufeld, the bank wouldn’t divulge to Couture where the transaction was made. That’s when she contacted the RCMP. She said the RCMP told her that her account was accessed through four different ATMs, one in Red Deer and the other three in London, Ont., and Hamilton.

“What frustrated me the most is I was honest the whole time and I was turned into a criminal. Someone is good at what they do and they stole my money,” Couture said.

DeHeer said most banks have a limited time window for clients to report fraudulent activity.

“Say something happened with your money and you report it six weeks later, I believe banks have a limited amount of time that you can report it,” she said.

She said the best way for consumers to reduce their card skimming risk is by keeping apprised of their account activity and by keeping close tabs on their cards.

“The days of handing a waitress your card at the bar and having her walk away with it should be gone,” she said.

DeHeer encourages people to report any loss to police, saying that many will only report the scam to their banks.

“It is important for us to know.”

Clients of CIBC, Scotia Bank, Servus Credit Union and a northeastern Alberta credit union branch also made mention of their cards being tampered with recently.

Rachel Siednicki, manager of media relations with the Canadian Bankers Association, said that most Canadian banks are moving to chip cards for debit and credit transactions.

“These cards are embedded with a micro chip that will process transactions and the information on the chip is secure,” she said via email.

While the association says using debit cards is “very safe, with more than 99 per cent of the four billion transactions occurring without incident each year in Canada,” it does suggest ways that consumers can protect themselves. have caused problems for indigenous or feral species. A healthy population of European collared doves has grown from a few that were not recovered after being released during a wedding ceremony a number of years ago, said Boyd.

She is more concerned with the number of domestic cats that are released, because of the number of birds that they kill. bkossowan@reddeeradvocate.com

Brittney Neufeld says having a chipped debit card is no guarantee your account can’t be accessed illegally. ● Always protect your PIN. Use your shoulder or your hand to shield your PIN. ● If you have a chip card, always insert first instead of swiping when making a purchase. ● Never lend your card or disclose your PIN to anyone else. ● Memorize your PIN; don’t write it down. ● Make sure your PIN can not be easily detected if your card is lost or stolen — don’t use your birth date or address or part of your telephone number. ● Consumers should regularly change their PIN.

● Inspect the ATM or debit or credit card reader. Does it look right? Give the ATM a shake to see if the key pad is loose. ● Business owners or managers should inspect ATM or debit and credit card readers daily. All units have serial numbers that should be checked and recorded. ● Where possible, use a cash machine that is in clear view and is well lit. ● Card skimming is more prevalent at drive-throughs. ● Visit www.antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca for more information. jjones@reddeeradvocate.com

livering programs and services that produce demonstrated results,” said Horner. “(But) we’re not going to cut for the sake of cutting.”

Horner also warned unions to expect a hard line in bargaining.

“There will be no new money for public-service sector negotiations until we see improvement,” he said.

He wouldn’t say which capital projects may be mothballed but, when asked, said the new Royal Alberta Museum project — set to break ground in downtown Edmonton — will go ahead.

On Wednesday, the government announced it was cancelling a $122-million police training college in Fort Macleod, just two months after they awarded the construction contract and just days before shovels were set to turn the earth.

The $886-million deficit figure was presented by the government in its pre-election budget in February. Redford and the Tories went on to win an-

other majority government in April.

The budget boosted government spending by 3.3 per cent to a record $41.1 billion. Program spending went up almost seven per cent, with substantial raises for education, health, cities and money for the most vulnerable.

Opposition critics dismissed it as a bag of pre-election goodies.

On Thursday, Wildrose critic Kerry Towle said that, unfortunately for taxpayers, the critics were proven correct.

“This government has no plan, has no idea where they’re going to cut and they’re just doing it arbitrarily.

They’re picking from the pot and they’re just taking from everyday hardworking Albertans,” said Towle.

NDP critic Dave Eggen said it’s difficult to fathom how a province leading the nation in economic growth, with a rising population, the lowest unemployment rate, and oil in the $90-a-barrel range can’t balance the books.

Cancelled police college costs pile up ALBERTA TO SPEAK WITH FORT MACLEOD, COMPANY AWARDED CONTRACT

Alberta legislature turns 100 THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — It was late, too small, over budget, built on quicksand, and opened up the same year the Titanic went down.

The builders also forgot to put a lock on the front door.

Nevertheless, the Alberta legislature has endured for 100 years, its sandstone and granite face and signature terra cotta dome the undisputed historical and architectural jewel of the province.

This weekend, it begins its second century of service with festivities on Sunday that include a speech by Premier Alison Redford and a re-creation of the Sept. 3, 1912, ceremony that officially opened its doors.

With its grand columns done in the neoclassical style — suggesting the glory of ancient

“He probably had some carpentry skills but as far as I know he wasn’t a craftsman or anything.”

More than a century ago, then-lead architect Allan Merrick Jeffers was just trying to get it off the drawing board.

He began planning it soon after Alberta officially became a province in 1905, said Philip Massolin, a historian and the manager of research services for the legislative assembly, Jeffers, said Massolin, favoured the Beaux-Arts style of legislatures, like the ones in Minnesota and Wisconsin. He drew the Alberta building to match.

No sooner were the foundations in by 1907 when they began to sink

in quicksand.

The foundations had to be reinforced, but eventually work continued and the building slowly took shape, granite and marble around a massive steel frame.

“They got the value for money,” said Massolin, noting the terra cotta tiles on the dome have not shifted, indicating the foundation is still holding.

The budget was $1.25 million. It came in at $2.4 million, due to the extra costs of hauling in marble and sandstone from Ohio and Calgary.

It was supposed to be done by 1912. But some of the terra cotta tiles weren’t completed until 1913, months after the official opening.

Greece — the legislature has become not only the symbol of democracy in Alberta, but also the focal point of public dissent. And in some cases, home to very personal tragedy.

For Agriculture Minister Verlyn Olson, it’s literally the structure his family helped build.

His maternal grandfather, Lind Olsen, came off the boat from Norway in 1907 looking for a fresh start, heading west to help build the legislature, on the banks overlooking the North Saskatchewan River on the fringe of Edmonton’s downtown.

“I can picture him being a guy who spoke very little English, who did a lot of bull work, carrying stuff,” said Olson.

It appears the Alberta government will pay a financial price for cancelling the long-promised police training college in Fort Macleod.

Alberta Infrastructure says it will speak with the town and the company that was awarded the construction contract for the $122-million project about covering some of their costs.

“We need to talk to the town, we need to talk with the construction company and figure those things out,” Jeannie Smith, a department spokeswoman said Thursday.

The province has already spent almost $2 million on preliminary work on the college that was first announced in 2006 to great fanfare by the government after dozens of rural communities submitted proposals for the project in a competition.

That figure does not include the contract awarded to Bird Construction last month, or the up to $4 million the southern Alberta community says it has spent on service lines to the college building site.

Smith said it’s too early to talk about how much money is involved.

“At this time it is inappropriate to speculate.

We need to meet with the town, we need to meet with the contractor,” she said.

“But most importantly, we need to keep in mind the interests of taxpayers.”

The government pulled the plug on the college on Wednesday, the day before it announced it could run as much as a $3 billion deficit this fiscal year and that revenues are down by $400 million.

Premier Alison Redford has promised to balance Alberta’s budget by 2014.

An official with Ontario-based Bird Construc-

tion declined comment on the cancellation of the police college.

Building was to begin this summer and be completed by August 2014.

Fort Macleod Mayor Shawn Patience said he still hopes the government will reverse its decision, but if not, the town will consider legal action to recover the money it has spent on the college.

Patience said people in the small community are shocked by the government’s move after years of promises and a ground-breaking ceremony involving cabinet ministers last August.

He questioned whether the Progressive Conservative government’s word means anything anymore.

“The government ran in 2008 and again in the last election (April 2012) on the premise of completing this training centre,” Patience said.

“I think the words integrity and commitment need to be redefined now. And I really think somebody needs to look in the mirror and determine what honour have you brought to the profession of being a politician in this province.”

The Town of Fort Macleod is in the provincial riding of LivingstoneMacleod, a former Progressive Conservative stronghold that fell to the opposition Wildrose Party in the April 23 provincial election.

The government said Wednesday that politics had nothing to do with its decision to cancel the college.

Alberta, meet Quebec ALBERTA CAN TEACH QUEBEC A THING OR TWO — BUT THE OPPOSITE IS ALSO TRUE

BY TODD HIRSCH SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE Even Alberta economists need to get out of their home province and stomp around the rest of the country now and then. And thanks to a bit of work/vacation, I had the chance to do this very thing. Three fantastic days in Montreal last week was a great way to wrap up summer of 2012. Through the people I met and talked to, along with simply keeping my eyes open, I learned a thing or two about our sister province.

While some people are swift to highlight the differences between Quebec and Alberta, the two actually have plenty in common.

The similarities are not in the composition of each province’s economy — these are very different.

Rather, the comparisons can be found in the economic aspirations of each. Both are trying to figure out how to compete and succeed in a global economy that seems to be shifting daily.

OTHERVIEW Walking around Montreal last week, one thing jumped out: Quebec is in the middle of a very fiercely fought provincial election. And it’s getting a bit nasty. Plenty of campaign signs punctuate the otherwise beautiful streetscapes in Montreal — and a lot of them have been viciously defaced. Three political parties are vying to lead the province, and it appears the fight will be a close one. In this province, it’s all politics all the time.

Economically, Quebec is facing big challenges.

You don’t notice it much in downtown Montreal, where throngs of tourists and laid-back Montrealers stroll the main shopping districts, jockeying for tables on the patios and soaking up the late August sunshine. But the province’s manufacturing sector continues to struggle, particularly traditional manufacturing. (There are plenty of examples of niche and smaller manufacturers that are actually doing very well). The high Canadian dollar, soft export markets to the U.S., stiff competition from Asia, and high labour costs are weighing things down for Central Canada.

This stands in sharp contrast with

Alberta, where energy prices — volatility aside — continue to supercharge the economy. Alberta’s unemployment rate is 4.6 per cent; in Quebec, it’s 7.6 per cent.

But the two provinces have much in common along another front: each is attempting to get its public finances in order. Governments in both provinces are facing deficits, and rising health care and education costs are always nipping at their heels. This has been especially poignant for Quebec this year.

University student protests against rising tuition fees have led to a spring and summer full of marching and banging on pots. (Although the latest strike on Aug. 22 was a whimper. It seems that even angry students decided that a latte or a cool brewed beverage on the patio was preferable to waving a placard in the heat.)

In Alberta, we desperately hope energy prices will stay high and resource royalties will paper over the enormous gap between what we spend on government programs and what we pay in taxes.

Most years this game works in our favour. But not always.

In Quebec, even a 9.5 per cent provincial sales tax (on top of the five per cent GST) and much higher income taxes are not enough to cover the gap.

They haven’t been for a long time and the rising debt level of the provincial government is a very serious problem.

Saddest of all, La Bell Province does not have resource revenues like we do in Wild Rose Country to bridge the deficit gap. So debt levels continue their unceasing climb higher. Something eventually has to give.

As a born-and-raised Albertan — Edmonton my home town, Calgary my current address — I love nothing more than the energy, optimism and enthusiasm of the province. Its cities are growing and maturing, and it has the potential to lead the country in a variety of policy issues. We have lessons for Quebec and the rest of the country.

But I have to admit: Montreal is a real city. It doesn’t have to try to impress anyone — it’s comfortable in its own skin. Residents understand the importance of great public spaces and attractive design. Whatever economic challenges Montreal is facing at the moment, it will come through them (if not a bit battered and bruised). It will continue to be a great global city, and Alberta can learn from that.

Merci beaucoup, Montreal!

Just go straight ahead and do it. No need to consider the implications to the taxpayers, whether they be businesses or household residents.

And to our representatives in City Hall: If you happen to have some paint left after the bike lane project is complete, it would be great if you could spare some for the crosswalks and lines in our school zones. You know, for the safety of our children. Priorities, priorities — it must be terrible, figuring how distribute our tax dollars in a sensible rather than ‘simple’ fashion.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Thanks for bike lanes Re: Red Deer’s new bike lanes: I would like to express my gratitude to our Red Deer city council for the tremendous leadership they have shown in making our community a healthier place with the installation of new bike lanes. Not all cities have the vision to see that what we want 10 years from now needs to start today.

This pilot project, although fully supported by council, was started by a group of community members who make up ReThink Red Deer. They were the ones that did all the leg work and research behind the scenes to bring a proposal forward.

As a cyclist, I welcome the bike lanes but I can understand the frustration of people who do not own bikes.

There have been several opportunities for consultation over the last two years and the City of Red Deer is currently asking for input and feedback regarding the new bike lanes. I hope you will have your say and fill out the survey.

The reality is that there are always going to be growing pains when a change in our community is made. My feeling is that until it becomes inconvenient to drive your car or truck, you have no reason to change your habits.

If we encourage a more active lifestyle and educate our community of the benefits of these choices, I am confident that in five years our children will be thanking us for doing what is best for them, their health and the community as a whole.

We need to create a community that promotes interaction with our neighbours; this is the best form of crime prevention.

Another area that Red Deer is leading the way in building communities is through their Community Garden Program. I am again grateful for the support they have shown in adding two new community gardens this year. Six neighbourhoods now have the ability to grow their own vegetables in the summer. The community building that has taken place because of these gardens has been a beautiful thing to see.

Keep up the good work council. I am proud to call Red Deer my home.

Lanes lead to better future The City of Red Deer commuter bike pilot program has gone full swing in recent weeks, gathering a lot of attention from both supporters and critics.

Regardless of your position on the matter, city council and staff deserve a round of applause for taking the initiative to work with community groups in the development of this far-reaching alternative transportation program.

Working together to engage residents of Red Deer, the project will evolve to include the best ideas and practices from all points of view.

We believe the key thing for all Red Deerians to remember is not to focus on the painted lines, per se, but where the lanes are leading. We think it is to

a more connected, healthy and happy city.

In the interest of a robust and democratic debate, please take a moment to visit and complete the city’s survey to ensure we hear from all sides and perspectives of the community.

Whether you are in favour or opposition of the commuter bike lanes, awareness of the issues and having open-minded conversations will help ensure that the best decisions are made for all users of our streets and transportation routes.

A great place for these conversations to happen is at the Red Deer Public Market.

For those interested, there will be a Bike Rodeo on Saturday, Sept. 15, starting at St. Thomas Aquinas Middle School (3812 39th St). The event is open to all and educational small-group mini-rides starting at 9 a.m. will be organized before the parade begins at 10 a.m. An experienced cyclist will go over some basics of using bike lanes, then take a small group of riders out to practise what was learned.

Enjoy the few remaining days of summer and ride/drive safe!

Lanes fail sensibility test Other cities are searching for ways to improve bicycle safety. I would suggest that Red Deer city council and assistants provide some free advice to their counterparts elsewhere, since we know how to do it in Red Deer.

The alternatives are “simple” and easy to impose on the public.

Alternative 1: Pick a street; do not consult with the resident taxpayers on the street; ‘simply’ paint lines and put up signs on both sides of the street; then inform the residents that there is no longer parking in front of their property and that the city would like their feedback on the project.

Results: Ten to 20 bikes per day, half of which still ride on the sidewalk, where it is safe. Residents parking on their front lawns or considering the approximate $3,000 cost to put in a driveway, if the city will change the curbs. The street is now a freeway with no respect shown for residents whose taxes go up every year.

Alternative 2: If there is not room for two bike lanes on a street, then you ‘simply’ paint a lane down the middle of the street with traffic moving by on each side. This approach may require removal of parking privileges, or it may require removal of a traffic lane such as a specific lane for left turns.

Results: More traffic congestion and particularly more confusion with bicycles in the middle of the street. An accident waiting to happen. Sadly, just like in motorcycle vs. car incidents, the cyclist always loses.

So we have the expertise here in Red Deer and the solution is ‘simple.’

Traffic flow being stalled It seems strange to read that the mayor is distraught at an overcrowded courthouse, but not overcrowded streets that went from two lanes to one.

Both 55th Street and 39th Street are alike in that parents and school buses can create havoc on single-lane streets, especially where left-hand turns can be executed. In these pre-backto-school days, only one vehicle got through the light change on a left-hand turn on 39th Street and 30th Avenue.

Alberta’s Traffic Act states that it is illegal to cross a solid line, yet some bike lanes are solid to the corner and some are not. Thus right-hand turns will be attempted from the left (centre) lane!

It was bad enough for Red Deerians to turn a corner correctly before these changes. They often turn into the left lane when making a right-hand turn and into the right lane when making a left-hand turn. We have witnessed police and peace officers doing this as well as school bus drivers!

We are relative newcomers to Red Deer and are curious as to the numbers of bicycle accidents on city streets. How will these compare to exhaust pollution and winter smog from idling vehicles backed up for a block or three?

Mounties looking for missing Australian hiker

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — Mounties are looking for some fresh leads on the one-year anniversary of the disappearance of an Aussie hiker in Kananaskis Country.

Kevin Kennedy, 59, vanished after he was dropped off at Highwood Pass in Kananaskis.

Kennedy had plans to hike the Tyrwitt Loop but failed to meet his ride at the end of the day.

McKay Duguay and Glenn Jones, who are all in their 50s, face multiple drug and weapons-related charges.

The property owners were also issued warnings that legislation could be used to shut the homes down and remove the residents if the alleged illegal activity didn’t stop.

Police say the owners have been co-operative and have issued eviction notices to their tenants.

Guilty plea in sled dog slaughter B.C. farmers

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS NORTH VANCOUVER, B.C. — A man charged with the slaughter of more than 50 sled dogs near Whistler, B.C., has pleaded guilty to an animal cruelty charge two years after the bodies were dug up from a mass grave near the ski resort town.

Former sled dog operator Robert Fawcett, who showed up sporting a short haircut and wearing a mismatched brown suit, entered his plea while standing next to his lawyer in a North Vancouver court Thursday.

He was charged with causing unnecessary pain and suffering to the animals.

Outside the courthouse, about a dozen animal-rights advocates accompanied by their pet dogs called for a prison sentence for Fawcett.

“If it’s going to be a slap on the wrist, we are nowhere more forward than we were yesterday,” said Ingrid Katzberg, referring to a possible sentence.

“It has to be something that is going to tell other people you are going to be punished if you continuously do this to animals.”

Fifty-six dogs were dug up in a mass grave in May 2011 after de-

tails of the cull leaked out four months earlier.

The information came from a post-traumatic stress disorder claim made by Fawcett, the former general manager of Whistlerbased Howling Dog Tours, through workers’ compensation.

The claim suggested the dogs were killed to cull the sled-dog pack after a post-Winter Olympic slump in tour sales. The companies that employed the man, however, have denied such instructions.

A man calling himself Bob Fawcett also wrote on a PTSD website, describing a gruesome scene of how the dogs were shot or had their throats slit before being dumped in the grave.

The post claimed upwards of 100 dogs were slaughtered, although the BC SPCA said the investigation only ever turned up about half that number.

The Crown prosecutor has asked for a psychological assessment for Fawcett, who is expected to be sentenced in November.

Crown spokesman Neil MacKenzie did not specify what sentence the prosecution will ask for.

“The position that Crown takes in this matter will be a principled and fair position that is based on the circumstances of the offence,

the seriousness of the offence, but also takes into the account the circumstances of the offender,” he told reporters.

“It’s important to bear in mind the offence is not an unlawful killing of the animals per se,” he added.

“It’s a killing in a manner that caused unnecessary suffering to the number of the animals that were killed.”

Fawcett and his defence lawyer Greg Diamond did not speak to the media.

Under the Criminal Code, the maximum sentence for causing unnecessary pain and suffering to an animal is five years of prison time and up to $75,000 in fines.

Marcie Moriarty, general manager of cruelty investigations for the BC SPCA, said this investigation was the biggest and most costly in the organization’s history.

“We hope this plea results in swift and appropriate justice in this very disturbing case,” said Moriarty in a statement.

Moriarty said Fawcett could also face a lifetime ban on owning animals if convicted.

Fawcett is expected to be sentenced on Nov. 22.

The SPCA says a memorial for the slain sled dogs is planned for Nov. 2.

Toronto mayor’s niece sorry for ‘whore’ tweet TORONTO — The niece of the mayor of Canada’s most populous city apologized Thursday for suggesting women can avoid sexual assault by not dressing “like a whore” after the comment brought a public backlash.

Krista Ford, the niece of Mayor Rob Ford and the daughter of Coun.

Doug Ford, expressed her regret on Twitter, where she originally made the controversial declaration.

“I didn’t mean to cause such an alarm and I apologize if I did. I just want women to be safe,” she wrote on the social media site.

Ford, who was captain of Toronto’s shortlived lingerie football team, had earlier advised women to “Stay alert, walk tall, carry mace, take self-defence classes & don’t dress like a whore.”

Her message followed a police warning about a recent string of sexual assaults in the city’s west end and sparked online outrage before it was yanked from her Twitter account.

Among her critics was

a woman who identified herself as a victim in one of the six sexual assaults that prompted the police alert.

“You’re a woman and you should know that your body is yours and yours alone,” the woman wrote in an open letter posted on Facebook.

“For the record, I was sexually assaulted while wearing a knee-length polka-dot dress,” she added.

Some questioned the

SENIOR LIVING In concert with your life

sincerity of Ford’s apology, while others defended her against critics who took issue with her own attire.

“If your argument against Krista Ford’s comments about sexual assault are based on the way she dresses, you’re doing it wrong,” one tweet read.

Ford’s polarizing tweet came more than a year after a Toronto police officer made similar recommendations while

speaking to university students about campus safety.

The officer was criticized for his advice that women should avoid dressing “like sluts” to reduce the risk of assault, and later apologized.

His comment became the catalyst for SlutWalk, a series of marches to protest the suggestion that victims are to blame.

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS RICHMOND, B.C. — Talk about a hot potato!

Standing in the middle of one of his dusty fields, half-exposed potatoes poking out, farmer Bill Zylmans wonders why anyone would steal so much of his crop.

“God knows,” he muttered.

If only these spuds could talk.

Then they would be able to help police deduce who pilfered 2,300 kilograms of potatoes right out of Zylmans’ field.

“They’re not digging down, they’re basically pulling up the plant, taking what’s on the plant and away they go,” said a disappointed Zylmans.

“Today the (plants) have matured and died off, but at that time (they were stolen) they destroyed basically the future growth of any of the fruits of the plant.”

Overturned dirt and dried-out patches of topsoil are evidence of the theft in all three of Zylmans’ potato fields.

If you add the patches together they would be about the size of a football field and hold about $3,000 worth of Yukon gold and chieftain potatoes, Zylmans said.

The theft of blueberries, strawberries or even pumpkins is nothing new for farmers, but Zylmans said the amount of spuds taken suggests the theft was for commercial purposes.

“It almost seems just too much for someone to just take for a family,” he said.

Because potatoes are a controlled commodity, Zylmans said it isn’t likely someone would have arrived at a supermarket looking to sell them.

But, he speculated the potato perpetrators could be marketing them in bags, going door to door or some other way.

The area where most of the potatoes were taken lies on the edge of a forest, giving the thieves cover for what Zylmans said must have been at least a couple of hours of hard work, depending on the size of the group.

Richmond RCMP Sgt. Cam Kowalski said the crime boggles his mind.

“5,000 pounds of potatoes, what are you going to make with that, other than french fries and vodka?”

Kowalski queried.

He said the potatoes were likely taken by a group of people using shovels who would have to have planned the theft, but that’s about all police know.

“We don’t have any leads on this,” he said.

“If anyone does we’d be certainly happy to talk to them.”

Little player with a lot to prove

JEROME MESSAM

MESSAM BACK WITH ESKIMOS It was an emotional return for Jerome Messam. There were plenty of handshakes and welcome-back hugs all around as the six-foot-four, 248-pound tailback returned to the Edmonton Eskimos on Thursday after being released Saturday by the NFL’s Miami Dolphins. Messam had 10 days following his release from Miami to sign with another team south of the border but opted to return early to the CFL club.

And while his agent remains in talks with Edmonton about a contract extension, the league’s top Canadian last season took to the practice field Thursday and declared he’s ready to resume his pro career in Canada.

“I want to play Monday,” said Messam, referring to the Eskimos’ next game in Calgary. “I feel like I’m ready, physically ready. My body feels great, my knee feels good. It was a gruelling off-season (in Miami), I went through training like I never did before so I feel I’m in the best shape of my life.”

Messam enjoyed a breakout 2011 campaign with Edmonton, rushing for 1,057 yards to be named the CFL’s outstanding Canadian.

Messam’s arrival creates a logjam at tailback for Edmonton, which already has Hugh Charles and newcomer Cory Boyd to go with versatile Canadian Calvin McCarty. However, head coach Kavis Reed didn’t sound like he was ready give Messam a roster spot for Edmonton’s Labour Day showdown against arch-rival Calgary.

“Jerome is going to have to reintegrate himself into our system, work his way back in,” Reed said.

Reed wants to make sure Messam is game ready.

Team Black’s Brayden Burke edges past Team White’s Kayle Doetzel, left, and Devan Fafard to score during the Rebels inter squad game, Wednesday. The five-foot-six Burke has impressed Rebels brass during training camp showing that he could be a player to watch out for in the future.

RED DEER REBELS TRAINING CAMP

BY GREG MEACHEM ADVOCATE SPORTS EDITOR Good things can come in small packages.

Red Deer Rebels prospect Brayden Burke is proof of that.

Despite currently stretching out to just under five-foot-six and weighing in at all of 125 pounds, Burke likely has a future in the Western Hockey League, proving that there’s no substitute for skill.

“He’s a guy who’s had to learn to play the game as a small player,” said Rebels head coach Jesse Wallin, following a 60-minute scrimmage on Thursday at the Penhold Multiplex. “He gets by on his intelligence and he’s got an unbelievable skill level.

He’s such a smart player. He sees the ice so well and senses danger . . . he knows when people are around him.

“Those are tough things to teach. He’s got great instincts.”

Burke was a seventh-round pick of the Rebels in this year’s bantam draft and

showed enough at the spring prospects camp in June to convince the club to sign him to a WHL education contract. The 15-year-old finished fifth in Alberta Major Bantam Hockey League scoring last season with 63 points (23g,40a) in 32 games, then led his Edmonton Canadian Athletic Club team in playoff scoring with two goals and 10 points in five games.

Despite his lack of size, he racked up 60 minutes in penalties last winter and never looked intimidated during the just-concluded Rebels rookie and main camps.

“It was fun to play with the big guys,” he said.

“I was able to learn how they play and just how fast it is out there at this level. I had to get used to the tempo and it was a great experience for me. This is a great organization. The older guys were really good this week. They showed us (rookie prospects) around.”

Being the smallest player in a training camp or even on his minor hockey team is nothing new for Burke, who has taken it

upon himself to prove his doubters wrong.

“I’ve always been smaller than everyone,” he said. “Over the years a bunch of people have told that I’m too small, that I’ll never get over the novice hump, that I can’t get over the bantam hump.

“Yet every year I get over that hump and I keep working my ass off. It’s got me to where I am now and I’m really proud of myself. I thought I competed well against the big guys out there this week. Overall, I think I’ve done very well in camp.”

Burke finished second on his CAC team in scoring as a first-year bantam and really came of age last season.

“No one thought I’d made the team the first year and then no one thought I’d keep it going last year. But then I had a really good season,” he said. “I was playing with a lot of great players with CAC. We had a really good team.”

Burke was held off the scoresheet Thursday, less than 24 hours after opening the scoring and helping Team Black beat Team White 5-2 in the Rebels intrasquad game at the Centrium.

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS LONDON — The moment he touched the wall, Benoit Huot released the emotions that had built over the last four years.

When competitors started eclipsing him in Paralympic swimming in 2008, Huot refused to concede his race was run. The Montreal athlete re-dedicated himself to his sport.

Huot won Canada’s first medal of the 2012 Paralympic Games with an exclamation mark. The 28-year-old captured gold in the 200 individual medley and broke his own world record Thursday.

Huot leaned back in the water and looked up with a face etched in joy and relief following his race. During his post-race interviews, when Princes Astrid of Belgium hung the medal around

his neck and while O Canada played, Huot would erupt in tears.

It was Huot’s ninth career gold medal, but first since 2004 when he dominated the Paralympics in Athens with five victories. Expecting another run of gold in 2008, Huot did not step on the top of the podium in Beijing. Instead, he returned to Canada with four bronze.

Huot had set a world record in the 200 I.M. at trials in March in Montreal.

He lowered it by a quarter of a second Thursday to two minutes 10.01 seconds.

Huot beat his chief rivals Andre Brasil of Brazil and Rick Pendleton of Australia by more than a body length.

Brasil took the pace out hard in butterfly, but Huot reeled the Brazilian in and passed him on the breaststroke leg.

NEW YORK — The NHL Players’ Association needed some overtime to prepare its next offer in collective bargaining.

Donald Fehr, the NHLPA’s executive director, had hoped to table a counter-proposal Thursday but instead called off the session to devote more time to drafting it. The sides are scheduled to resume talks this morning.

The union received detailed team-by-team financial information from the 2011-12 season this week and spent Thursday combing through it.

It also had a new NHL proposal to work off of while coming up with a counter offer. On Tuesday, the league tabled a six-year contract that would see the players’ share in revenue reduced to 46 per cent — something that didn’t hold much appeal for the union.

However, the league viewed its second offer as a significant improvement on the initial proposal it tabled July 13, which called for players to receive a 43 per cent share and introduced a number of new contract restrictions. With a Sept. 15 deadline looming for a lockout, deputy commissioner Bill Daly expressed hope Thursday the players would be motivated to sweeten the offer they made two weeks ago.

“We’re hopeful it’s a meaningful proposal that we can continue to make progress from,” he said. “We feel like we made a good step in that direction earlier this week and we hope that they would make a step forward as well.”

There’s a sense negotiations have reached crunch time, especially with the growing possibility the league is heading for its second lockout in as many negotiations. The NHL’s business is essentially on hold while players and teams wait to see if an agreement can be reached in time for training camps to open as scheduled Sept. 21 and the regular season to start Oct. 11.

The NHL has said it will lock the players out when the current CBA expires Sept. 15, but Daly believes there’s still enough time to hammer out an agreement before then.

“Well obviously the clock is ticking — we’re almost into September now,” he said. “I would say the positive thing is I think both parties are committed . . . to meet as often as it takes to get a deal done, but obviously every day that goes by it’s less and less likely that we’ll be able to come to closure on all of the issues we need to come to closure on.”

Pre-season goes out with a bang HIGH SCORING GAMES CAP FINAL TUNE-UP BEFORE REGULAR SEASON NEXT WEEK

NFL THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LIONS 38 BILLS 32 DETROIT — Matthew Stafford threw a 24-yard touchdown pass to Calvin Johnson and the Detroit Lions went on to beat the Buffalo Bills 38-32 Thursday night.

Stafford and Johnson went to the sideline healthy after their only drive to make the Lions happy that their dynamic duo avoided injuries in the fourth and final preseason game.

Detroit’s offence, defence and special teams contributed toward the Lions (2-2) taking a 28-7 lead in the first quarter over the Bills (0-4).

Buffalo quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick completed all five of his passes, including a 4-yard TD pass to Stevie Johnson, on his first and last possession.

The Bills gave Tyler Thigpen an extended opportunity to keep his job as their No. 2 QB and he didn’t take advantage of it. Thigpen had an interception returned for a touchdown in his second straight game.

STEELERS 17, PANTHERS 16 PITTSBURGH (AP) — Charlie Batch completed 11 of 14 passes for 102 yards and a touchdown to bolster his hopes of playing a 15th NFL season and Pittsburgh beat Carolina in its preseason finale.

Batch hit Emmanuel Sanders for a 37-yard play on Pittsburgh’s first drive and later found Will Johnson for a 27-yard gain to set up a field goal as the Steelers (3-1) won a battle of the backups against the Panthers (2-2).

Carolina quarterback Jimmy Clausen passed for 173 yards and two touchdowns, including a 79-yard score to rookie Lamont Bryant with 2:31 to play to bring the Panthers within a point.

The 2-point conversion failed, however, and kicker Justin Medlock missed a 50-yard field goal with 32 seconds left.

BEARS 28, BROWNS 20 CLEVELAND (AP) — Quarterback Colt McCoy did little to solidify winning Cleveland’s backup job — or impress any other NFL team — and Chicago’s Josh McCown threw two touchdown passes in the first half, leading the Bears over the Browns in the exhibition finale.

McCoy, who lost his starting job in training camp to rookie Brandon Weeden, is battling Seneca Wallace to be Cleveland’s No. 2 QB. McCoy went 2 of 5 for 16 yards and an interception.

The Bears (3-1) returned an interception and blocked punt for TDs in a 90-second span of the third quarter to pull away from the Browns (2-2).

McCown played the entire game, finishing 20 of 29 for 157 yards and the two TDs. He will sit behind starter Jay Cutler and Jason Campbell.

COLTS 20, BENGALS 16 INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Chandler Harnish threw a 42-yard touchdown pass to tight end Dominique Jones, leading the Colts over Cincinnati in the preseason finale.

Neither starting quarterback stuck around long. No. 1 draft pick Andrew Luck left after Indy’s first series.

Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton left with a bruised right arm after just six plays. Coach Marvin Lewis later said Dalton would have returned had it been a regular season game.

That left the heavy-lifting to the backups — and the officials, who called 24 penalties.

Behind Harnish, the last selection in this year’s draft, Indy (2-2) rallied from a 10-0 deficit to take a 14-13 halftime lead.

The Bengals (2-2) regained the lead on a third-quarter field goal, but Harnish threw for the winning score with 6:54 to play.

EAGLES 28, JETS 10 PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Greg McElroy became the first quarterback to lead the Jets into the end zone this preseason in a loss to Philadelphia.

Mark Sanchez, Tim Tebow and most of the Jets starters didn’t play in this battle between backups and guys fighting for roster spots.

Michael Vick and all of Philadelphia’s starters watched from the sideline.

Trent Edwards threw for 197 yards and two TDs to help the Eagles (4-0) finish unbeaten in the preseason for the first time since 1995.

The Jets (0-4) became the first team in 35 years to go three preseason games without a touchdown, matching the 1977 Atlanta Falcons for offensive futility.

McElroy finished 12 of 17 for 90 yards and one TD. He rushed for 33 yards.

Seattle Seahawks’ Golden Tate (81) catches the ball in front of Oakland Raiders’ Shawntae Spencer in the first half of a preseason NFL football game, Thursday, in Seattle. The Seahawks won the game 21-3.

TEXANS 28, VIKINGS 24 HOUSTON (AP) — Trindon Holliday had his third kick return for a touchdown of the preseason and Justin Forsett rushed for 114 yards and two more scores in Houston’s win over Minnesota in the preseason finale.

Holliday brought back a punt 76 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter, bolstering his case to make the Texans (3-1) solely as a special teams threat. Forsett broke a 52-yard run on Houston’s second play from scrimmage and set a Texans’ rushing record for a preseason game.

Jordan Todman rushed for 114 yards, including a 76-yard touchdown for Minnesota (1-3). Jarius Wright caught six passes for 122 yards, including a touchdown for the Vikings.

JAGUARS 24, FALCONS 14 JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Kevin Elliott had a 77-yard touchdown reception, likely solidifying his spot on the regular-season roster, and Jacksonville beat Atlanta.

The teams took vastly different approaches to the game. The Jaguars (3-

1) played their offensive starters into the second quarter; the Falcons (1-3) played just two regulars: linebacker Akeem Dent and defensive tackle Peria Jerry.

Jaguars quarterback Blaine Gabbert fumbled on the opening play. Trying to pitch to Rashad Jennings, Gabbert’s toss hit fullback Greg Jones in the backside. The Falcons recovered, and Jacquizz Rodgers scored on the next play. Gabbert and his fellow starters stayed in for 25 plays, but failed to score.

RAMS 31, RAVENS 17 ST. LOUIS (AP) — Sam Bradford threw three touchdown passes in 1 ½ quarters, giving St. Louis a win over Baltimore to end the preseason.

Rams coach Jeff Fisher, taking over a franchise that has totalled 15 wins in the past five seasons, used virtually all of his starters until the score was 21-0 on a 9-yard catch by Mike Hoomanawanui with 6:59 to go in the half. Bradford threw five touchdown passes in the preseason, all of them at home for the Rams (2-2).

NFL to see new rules instigated for this season PLAYERS’ UNION APPROVES ALLOWING ONE PLAYER TO RETURN FROM INJURED RESERVE AND A NEW TRADE DEADLINE

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — The players’ union has approved a rule change on the eve of the season that will allow one designated player from each team to return from injured reserve instead of sitting out the entire year.

One of the biggest beneficiaries of the change announced Thursday is the Super Bowl champion New York Giants. They have three players whose status is uncertain because of injuries suffered in training camp, with the most obvious being cornerback Terrell Thomas. He aggravated his surgically repaired tight anterior cruciate ligament in late July and has yet to practice.

Under the new rule, one “marquee” player“ placed on injured reserve will be able to return to practice after the sixth week of the schedule and to the lineup after the eighth week. That player must be on the 53-man roster after the final preseason cut, which comes Friday. The player’s injury must be one that prevents him from practicing or playing football for six weeks.

“I think it is a great rule in general,” said Giants cornerback Michael Coe, who has moved into the starting lineup following injuries to Thomas, Prince Amukamara and Jayron Holsey. “Other sports have that, like baseball, guys go on and come off IR every day, like putting on your shoes.”

The NFL has never had that. If a player was hurt and was going to be sidelined a month or more at the start of the season, he usually ended up on injured reverse.

“This is going to help every team which has an injury and has to do some shuffling,” Coe said. “Guy won’t have to miss the whole year.”

Besides Thomas, the Giants also have questions about two defensive tackles. Second-year pro Marvin Austin has had back issues most of camp and veteran Shaun Rogers is sidelined with a blood clot in his left leg. A doctor has told him he might be able to play later this season.

Giants coach Tom Coughlin said each club will have to review its roster and chose who to designate.

He refused to say who the Giants would select.

“It depends on the team and the injury,” he said.

“Every injury that is a reasonable length of time I am sure is being considered by all the clubs.”

Thomas, who missed the entire 2011 season with a torn ACL, was to visit a doctor on Wednesday to determine whether when he could start running.

Coughlin had no information on that visit, and he would not guess how close Thomas was to playing again.

Thomas was not in the locker room Thursday and was not immediately available for comment. Rogers said it was a decision for Giants management.

NFL owners approved two changes to the rules

in May: the injured reserve change and moving the league’s trading deadline back two weeks to after the games in Week 8.

The union announced it signed off them on Thursday, six days before the regular season kicks off with a game between the Giants and Dallas Cowboys.

Moving the trade deadline to Oct. 30 this season could create more action than in the past, when teams rarely moved players at the deadline.

Since the injured reserve rule was adopted after the cutdown to 75 players, the league and the union have agreed to a transition procedure that permits clubs to return to their 53-player active list one player placed on Reserve/Injured since the start of preseason training camp. This selection must be made by Friday: Baltimore recently placed Terrell Suggs, last season’s Defensive Player of the Year, on the physically unable to perform list, meaning he must sit out at least the first six games. Suggs appeared to fall into the category of the new rule, as well.

“That’s a good thing and a bad thing,” Giants defensive captain Justin Tuck said. “There are a lot of teams that are going to use that to their advantage, obviously. For the people who do it the right way that can really help a guy because there are parts to the season where a guy just can’t get out there and go. Again, if you get a couple of weeks off, you can go, so I see the good.”

to the ride the arm of quarterback Darian Durant for the matchup.

The fact that Durant has been given an unconditional green light as a starter, despite overwhelming evidence that his game has headed south, is the main reason I pick the Riders to lose the game. Durant has accuracy and decision problems that keep getting dumped in the lap of his O-line, receivers and coaches for some bizarre reason and I choose not to ignore the obvious problem: quarterback.

Hamilton hosts Toronto in the final Labor Day game at Ivor Wynne Stadium in its current form because the stadium will get a mercy killing after this season and the ‘Cats will become gypsies in 2013. These two teams had greater expectations in 2012 because they grabbed onto two of the best quarterbacks in the league in the off season.

However Tiger Cat quarterback Henry Burris and Argo pivot Ricky Ray have experienced some growing pains they adjust to life in southern Ontario.

They have become the embodiment of Grey Cup hopes for both teams and their new roles come with a learning curve for both men. Ray has a complicated offence and a shaky O-line in

Toronto while Burris has had a few critical turnovers and a shaky defence to deal with in Hamilton.

Expect a shootout in Steeltown on Monday with a hometown ‘Cat victory in this game.

Calgary and Edmonton also renew old acquaintances on Monday at McMahon Stadium. These teams have played steady football, despite the absence of key players on both teams. Stampeder backup quarterback Kevin Glenn has managed the games well enough as Plan B in the offensive scheme with the able-bodied assistance of talented Canadian tailback Jon Cornish. Throw in reliable receiver Nik Lewis and the Calgary offence can offer a few weapons for Glenn.

Edmonton has gotten a surprisingly strong performance from its offence, but its strength is a clever and ultra-aggressive defence created by new coordinator Mark Nelson. Expect pressure from any of the 12 Eskimo defenders, particularly the front seven in every game.

However, I still predict a Stamp win in the game because Glenn should have enough time to use his quick release in the game to counter the Eskimo pressure defence.

U.S. Open sees first upset, Roddick to retire FIFTH SEED TSONGA LOSES, RODDICK ANNOUNCES HIS IMPENDING RETIREMENT, RAONIC REACHES THIRD ROUND

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Photo by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Canada’s Milos Raonic returns a shot to France’s Paul-Henri Mathieu in the second round of play at the 2012 US Open tennis tournament, Thursday, in New York. Raonic won the match and is the first Canadian male to get this far in the tournament in 24 years.

NEW YORK — This U.S. Open finally got its first shockers.

After three days of the top players not only winning but winning decisively, the biggest news Thursday came off the court, with Andy Roddick announcing his impending retirement.

On the court, fifth-seeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga was upset by Martin Klizan of Slovakia in the second round.

The 52nd-ranked Klizan won 6-4, 1-6, 6-1, 6-3.

Before Tsonga’s loss, top-five seeds on the men’s and women’s sides had played 14 matches — and won all 14 in straight sets.

Roddick called a news conference Thursday evening to say that he’ll call it a career after his last match at this tournament, which he won in 2003.

“I don’t know that I’m healthy enough or committed enough to go another year,” he said on his 30th birthday, a day before facing Bernard Tomic in the second round. “I’ve always wanted to, in a perfect world, finish at this event.”

Tsonga was the runner-up at the 2008 Australian Open and a semifinalist at Wimbledon this year. He had reached at least the third round in 18 straight Grand Slam trips.

“Today I was not in a good shape,” he said. “I didn’t play good tennis.

It seemed like I couldn’t hit the ball enough hard to put my opponent out of position. I don’t really know why it was like this today, but sometimes it’s happen with me.”

The 23-year-old Klizan had failed to make it past the second round in three previous Grand Slam appearances.

He had never defeated an opponent ranked better than No. 49.

“I had no pressure,” Klizan said. “If I lose, then I lose. I lose with (a) good

player. But I won and I’m very happy.

It means for me more that I beat finally a guy from top 10.”

This year’s Open has generated plenty of drama in one area: comebacks from two sets down. American Mardy Fish rallied to beat Nikolay Davydenko 4-6, 6-7 (4), 6-2, 6-1, 6-2, the 10th time in this tournament a man had won after losing the first two sets — already an Open record.

The 30-year-old Fish, seeded 23rd, missed two months this season because of an accelerated heartbeat but showed few signs of fatigue in playing nearly 3 ½ hours.

Milos Raonic of Thornhill, Ont., defeated Frenchman Paul-Henri Mathieu 7-5, 6-4, 7-6(4), firing 30 aces to advance to the third round here for the first time in his career.

And after Tsonga lost, another topfive seed was at least pushed beyond a straight-sets finish.

Second-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska was down a set and a break to 39thranked Carla Suarez Navarro. Then she won 11 straight games for a 4-6, 6-3, 6-0 victory.

Serena Williams beat old nemesis Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez 6-2, 6-4.

Seeded fourth, Williams overcame six double-faults and 24 unforced errors — she had 32 winners to five for Martinez Sanchez.

In the 2009 French Open third round, Williams hit a ball she was sure went off Martinez Sanchez’s arm, then said the Spaniard cheated by not acknowledging it.

Jack Sock also reached the third round at a major tournament for the first time. The 19-year-old from Nebraska beat Flavio Cipolla 6-2, 6-2, 6-4.

Sock, ranked 248th, got in with a wild card. He saved 12 of the 13 break points he faced, while converting all six he earned on the 88th-ranked Cipolla’s serve.

Ryder Cup selections on the line at Deutsche Bank PGA TOUR

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NORTON, Mass. — This was exactly what Rickie Fowler wanted to hear.

“I’d pick him,” a voice called out behind the ninth green Thursday at the TPC Boston, causing Fowler to look over his shoulder and smile.

Too bad this pronouncement came from the caddie for Justin Rose, and not Ryder Cup captain Davis Love III, who now has the increasingly difficult decision of picking four players to fill out his American team.

The 99-man field in the Deutsche Bank Championship, which starts Friday, feels a lot smaller than that. This is the second event in the FedEx Cup playoffs as it moves closer to the Tour Championship and a shot at the $10 million bonus. But at least for the first few days, the chatter in a half-dozen players who face what amounts to the final audition before Love announces his picks Tuesday in New York.

Fowler is one of those players trying to make an impression.

So is Hunter Mahan, who played two groups behind him in the pro-am. And right behind Mahan was Nick Watney, who wasn’t even part of the Ryder Cup equation until he won The Barclays on Sunday.

That made him No. 1 in the FedEx Cup standings, which made him happy. And it made Watney part of the Ryder Cup conversation, which made him ... well, he’s not sure what to think.

Watney was such a long shot to make the Ryder Cup team a week ago that he hasn’t been measured for a team uniform, and when Love hosted an informal dinner at the PGA Championship three weeks ago for potential Ryder Cup players, Watney didn’t even get invited.

“For all I know, I’m not even in the conversation,” Watney said. “I’m really not sure. All I can do is go and try to play my best. I know that’s watered down and cliche, but it’s really true. I’m not really shooting for any number or, ’If I finish in the top 10 I’ll make

“And if I get that call, I could probably walk to Indy just as fast as fly because I’ll be super, super excited.”

Indianapolis, where the BMW Championship will be played next week, is the third stop in the playoffs.

Getting to Crooked Stick is the goal for some three dozen players at the TPC Boston, because only the top 70 move on.

Among those on the bubble are Vijay Singh (No.

59), Pat Perez (No. 65), Sean O’Hair (No. 74) and Jason Day (No. 88).

Tiger Woods, whose injury-filled season a year ago kept him out of the playoffs, returns to the Deutsche Bank Championship. He won on the TPC Boston in 2006, the year before the FedEx Cup began. Woods fell to No. 3 in the standings because of a dismal weekend at Bethpage, and because players are grouped by their FedEx Cup seeding, he will play the opening two rounds with Watney and Brandt Snedeker, another Ryder Cup possibility.

Canada chooses veteran lineup for qualifier against Panama ers,” said Hart. “But he’s done very well for his club and he did well in particular in the second half of the Trinidad game. It’s a matter of him working his way back into the squad.”

Bernier was also called back to the squad after being left off the roster in June. Goalkeeper Lars Hirschfield of Edmonton, currently playing in Norway, is expected to start both games against Panama.

For the Trinidad and Tobago match, Hart had called up some young players with Canada’s under-23 team, including Lucas Cavallini, who is playing in Uruguay, and Russell Teibert of the Vancouver Whitecaps. For the games that count, the coach decided to stick with experience.

“When you go through the exhibi-

tion games, you’re always experimenting (and) working on things,” said Hart.

“You have some sort of theme that you want the players to focus on. But when you get into the competitive phase of the games, you’re playing to win and trying to put everything that you’ve

done together.”

Canada is looking to build on a road win over Cuba and a draw with Honduras in June. After two of three rounds, Panama leads the four-team group with six points followed by Canada with four points.

VANCOUVER — Canada’s men’s soccer team coach Stephen Hart chose experience over youth for the next World Cup qualifiers.

Hart unveiled a veteran-laden roster Thursday for Canada’s upcoming World Cup qualifying series against Panama. All players listed have experience in World Cup qualifiers.

“I tried as much as possible to go with the players that are playing (with their club teams) and look to where we may need the most reinforcement and just go from there,” said Hart on a conference call with reporters.

Canada opens a two-game, totalgoals series against Panama at BMO Field in Toronto on Sept.

7. The return match takes place in Panama City on Sept. 11.

Riders aim to turn season Oilers ink Eberle to six-year extension around against Bombers

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

EDMONTON — Jordan Eberle and Taylor Hall will continue to be the cornerstones of the Edmonton Oilers.

Eberle agreed to a six-year, US$36-million contract extension with Edmonton on Thursday. The move comes just over a week after Hall, Eberle’s roommate, signed a seven-year, $42-million extension with the Oilers.

“Obviously me and Taylor want to be a part of this team for a while,” Eberle said during a conference call. “That’s why we signed this way.

“I think it signifies the young core of the group wanted to be here.”

The five-foot-11, 184-pound Eberle was taken in the first round, 22nd overall, by Edmonton in the 2008 NHL entry draft.

The 22-year-old Regina native has registered 52 goals and 67 assists in 147 games over his two seasons with Edmonton.

Eberle had 34 goals and 42 assists in 78 games last year with the Oilers.

Eberle said both he and Hall spoke often during the respective contract negotiations and it was important to the two stars that they sign deals worth the same on an annual basis.

“I think it kind of signifies, like I said before, that we both want to be here for a significant amount of time,” he said. “We see the direction the team is going and that’s in a forward direction.

“I think this year is definitely going to be a big year for us as far as developing our name as

a team. Our success in the past couple of years hasn’t been nearly where we want it to be and next year is going to be a huge stepping stone for us.”

This off-season the Oilers promoted associate coach Ralph Krueger to the head job to replace Tom Renney, whose contract wasn’t renewed.

The Winnipeg native takes over an Edmonton team that’s finished last in the Northwest Division three straight years and missed the Stanley Cup playoffs six consecutive seasons.

The Oilers also signed highly-regarded defenceman Justin Schultz as a free agent July 1.

The six-foot-two, 185-pound native of Westbank, B.C., had 16 goals and 28 assists in 37 games last season at the University of Wisconsin, finishing his NCAA career with 40 goals and 73 assists in 121 games at Wisconsin.

But Eberle said with both he and Hall committing long-term to the Oilers, hopefully other players will follow suit and come to Edmonton.

However, Eberle admits the magnitude of his extension will put added pressure on him.

“Obviously there’s a lot of pressure that goes along with this but at the same time I’m going to go out there and do the exact same thing,” he said. “I’ve had a huge summer in training, maybe the best I’ve had in a long time.

“I’ve been healthy, I don’t know whether it’s because I’m getting older or if I’m getting my man strength but whatever it is I’m definitely a lot stronger than I’ve been, for sure, ever in my life and I’m excited for a new season.”

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS REGINA — The Saskatchewan Roughriders see this year’s Labour Day Classic as a chance to climb out of the CFL West basement.

On Sunday afternoon at Mosaic Stadium, the 3-5 Roughriders aim to snap a five-game losing streak against the 2-6 Winnipeg Blue Bombers, who play their first game under new head coach Tim Burke.

Corey Chamblin, Saskatchewan’s rookie head coach, has been preaching focus and intensity to his team this week, and Thursday’s practice was as enthusiastic and loud as any workout this season. There were unmistakable signs of energy and enthusiasm as the players attempt to answer Chamblin’s challenge against the Bombers.

“I talked to the guys about frustration,” Chamblin said. “I told them that frustration can be a good thing ... we have to focus. It’s the little things.”

Defensive end Odell Willis, a former Blue Bomber, was his usual animated self, claiming that his team’s recent los-

ing skid hasn’t changed his approach to the game.

“At the end of the day, it’s football. You still have to have fun,” he said. “I’ve been around long enough to understand the vibes of the locker room. The vibe is different because all we have to do is clean up the mistakes.”

Willis has participated in the Labour Day Classic before, but never as a Roughrider.

“I know what it’s like coming from the Winnipeg side,” he said. “This will be my first time coming from the Saskatchewan side.”

Veteran offensive guard Brendon LaBatte finds himself in a similar situation. The Regina native played with the Bombers for four seasons before joining the Riders last winter as one of the team’s high-profile free-agent signings.

“I was a little bit jealous of all the other Saskatchewan guys,” he said.

Saskatchewan’s defence has shown improvement as the season approaches the halfway point, but the offence has been struggling to score points.

REBELS: Ton of fun

Team White Trace Elson’s shot is stopped by Team Black’s Bolton Pouliot during the Rebels’ intrasquad game in Penhold, Thursday.

Calgary leads the West in Vanier Cup chase CIS FOOTBALL THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER — Last November during a Vanier Cup news conference in Vancouver Stefan Ptaszek played the underdog card to excess.

The McMaster Marauders coach refused to touch the Cup and went out of his way to praise his opponent, the Laval Rouge et Or. The move worked as McMaster upset favoured Laval 41-38 in a wild Canadian Interuniversity Sport football championship game at B.C. Place.

But as another Ontario conference regular season begins this weekend, Ptaszek knows he can’t play the underdog card anymore.

“I don’t know if I’m going to get much sympathy from any of my peers,” he said. “It’s a new season, and we’re not going to sneak up on anybody after the fall that we had, and we recognize that.

“Teams are going to be ready to play us, and teams are going to measure how they are relative to a Vanier Cup champion — and we get that.”

The Marauders will be looking to improve on a 7-1 regular-season record in 2011.

McMaster has 11 returning starters on offence and eight on defence from the team that gave the Hamilton school its first national crown.

Ptaszek likes his squad’s chances of winning again when the Vanier Cup shifts to Toronto.

But he refuses to describe his club as a defending champion.

“We’re not trying to defend this title,” he said. “We’re trying to go for a second one, and we’re starting from the bottom of this mountain and trying to re-climb it as opposed to defend anything — which I think is the better approach.”

The Marauders will be led by fifth-year quarterback Kyle Quinlan, who had what Ptaszek calls a “professional-development opportunity” and “not a tryout” with the Montreal Alouettes this spring.

In Quebec, Laval is trying to rebuild and recover following its heart-

breaking loss to McMaster.

“It’s been on our mind for the whole winter,” said Laval coach Glen Constantin. “Obviously, there’s still a clear wound there.

“We’ve learned from that though. We’re better character-wise as a football team.”

Laval is seeking a record seventh Vanier Cup title and fourth in five years. The Rouge et Or have launched a youth movement after star running back Sebastien Levesque and quarterback Bruno Prud’homme graduated.

Constantin has just nine returning starters — five on offence and four on defence.

He rates Montreal and Sherbrooke as the main roadblocks on the road to Toronto.

In the Maritimes, the St. Mary’s Huskies are attempting a bounceback of their own after losing the Atlantic conference championship to the Acadia Axemen in 2011 following four straight titles. Coach Perry Marchese takes over the Huskies after Steve Sumarah was ousted in December — despite having guided St. Mary’s to four conference titles in six years.

Constantin predicted the controversial move will cause a “big-time” disruption with St. Mary’s, which did not hire Marchese until February following an extensive.

“The amount of time that it took to replace Steve Sumarah caused a lot of uncertainty, too, for the kids in choosing a school,” said Constantin.

“They were very late in recruiting.”

Predicting Acadia will prevail again, Constantin said the St. Mary’s program has declined since “icon” Blake Nill left for the University of Calgary.

The Dinos, ranked first in the CIS, are on a drive for five straight Canada West conference crowns under Nill.

Third-year quarterback Eric Dzwilewski guides a Calgary offence that includes all-Canadian running back Steven Lumbala and lineman Kirby Fabien, a B.C. 2012 first-round draft choice,

who opted to return to the Dinos even though Lions general manager Wally Buono said he virtually would’ve cracked the CFL team’s roster had he signed.

Carson Rockhill, a third-round choice of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, further strengthens the offensive line while allCanadian linebacker Jordan Verdone, another Lions draft prospect, and all-Canadian kicker Johnny Mark also return.

Calgary will be challenged by a UBC squad that was stripped of its second-place finish and 6-2 record after being found to have used an ineligible player. UBC has several veterans back on offence but is looking to prove it can win with a young defence.

“We have some talent here,” said UBC coach Shawn Olson. “We’ll see how it all comes together. But if we play to our potential, we could look pretty good.”

Quarterback Billy Greene, the Hec Crighton trophy winner who was bypassed in the CFL draft, will guide the UBC offence in his fifth and final season.

“I’m hoping he’s going to build off of last year,” said Olson. “Quarterback is one of those positions where the physical side is not as important as the mental side.

“Usually, as you get older, you get better at the mental side.”

Greene is in the rare position of having a chance to win consecutive Hec Crighton awards. The English major said he does not care about his stats, but Olson does.

“I would expect him to be better than he was last year,” said Olson.

“He’s big and he’s strong and he’s got a strong arm. He’s got a better understanding of the offence. This is his third year in it. So I would expect a higher completion percentage and more efficiency. So that’s what we’re shooting for.”

Olson also expects Saskatchewan to serve as a key rival in the quest for a conference title and eventual Vanier Cup berth. The Huskies will attempt to triumph with new starting quarterback Drew Burko.

“That was crazy, the atmosphere (in the Centrium) was cool,” he said.

“It’s just crazy that they get 2,000 fans for a Black and White game. It was a ton of fun . . . scoring the goal and everyone going wild on the bench.”

With an education contract under his belt, Burke will suit up for the Rebels’ two exhibition games this week at St. Albert — Saturday versus the Prince George Cougars and Sunday against the defending WHL champion Edmonton Oil Kings — before being reassigned.

“Now I can just focus on hockey,” said Burke, who will play at either the minor midget or major midget AAA level this season. “Hopefully I can be with the (Rebels) next year. I’m going to do everything I can to make that happen. It will just be one more hump to get over.”

Burke is confident that he’ll be at least somewhat larger when he makes his regular-season Rebels debut.

“I’ve grown almost two and a half inches since spring camp,” he said.

“I think I’ve started to hit my growth spurt and this is a good time to do it.”

Not that Burke will be unable to play the game at a high level as a smaller forward.

“The game is changing, it’s getting faster and refs are calling more stuff,” he said. “It’s just a faster game now, it’s not all about the big fighters. It’s more of a puck-movers game.” ● The Rebels signed 18-year-old forward Jesse Miller of Winnipeg to an education contract this week. Also signed were Grayson Pawlenchuk and Austin Strand both 15, and 16-yearold Vukie Mpofu . . . Adam Musil, the team’s first-round pick in the 2012 bantam draft, will play both exhibition games this weekend. He missed Tuesday’s training camp scrimmages and the Black and White game after being struck in the head. “We kept him off the ice as a precaution,” said Wallin.

“He’s 100 per cent now.” . . . The Rebels reassigned six players following the Thursday scrimmage — 16-yearold forwards Chase Thudium of Sylvan Lake, Cole Chorney of Beaumont, Mathieu Lapointe of Edmonton and Lynnden Pastachak of Bienfait, Sask., defenceman Tanner Reynolds of Calgary, 16, and 17-year-old netminder Matt Mitchell of Calgary. gmeachem@reddeeradvocate.com

TALKS: Differences They haven’t yet got past the first one.

The negotiations are now solely focused on the league’s economic system and figuring out how revenues are divided. Even the contract issues have been pushed aside for the time being.

Part of the hangup is a philosophical difference on what the new agreement represents, with players believing they shouldn’t have to move far from the 57 per cent share they were given in the last deal and commissioner Gary Bettman suggesting Wednesday they shouldn’t feel any “entitlement” to that number.

How the NHLPA goes about drafting its next offer will dictate where talks head.

After receiving the league’s initial proposal last month — which called for a 24 per cent reduction in salaries — Fehr essentially ignored it while crafting his first response. The NHL then chose to borrow some of the union’s suggested structure for its second offer, proposing that the salary cap be set at a fixed rate for the first three years before returning to a linkage system afterwards.

Ultimately, what the league is looking for now is an indication the players are willing to give up more revenue. The NHLPA’s first offer would see them net a share of roughly 54 per cent.

The sides don’t have any blackout days scheduled in the coming weeks, meaning they could conceivably bargain around the clock. Daly wouldn’t even rule out the possibility of meeting through the Labour Day long weekend — provided they have matters worth discussing once the NHLPA’s offer is put on the table.

“It’ll depend on the nature of the proposal, the structure of the proposal, how detailed it is,” he said. “Obviously the first proposal they made on Aug. 14, we took the night to analyze it and

break it down and figure it out. Depending on what this is, we may need to take time as well.

“But certainly there’s nothing that would preclude us from meeting Saturday if there’s a reason to meet Saturday.”

GAMES: Expecting to win gold “I went to Beijing the world champion, world-record holder expecting to win that gold medal and I came third,” Huot said. “It was a difficult circumstance. It was really hard, but what happened in Beijing gave me that motivation and energy to come back for another four years.

“Yes, it’s great to have a medal tonight, but what I’m the most proud of is those four years and the process to get to where I am today. I became a better person and a better athlete because of what happened in Beijing.”

Summer Mortimer of Ancaster, Ont., earned silver in the women’s 200 I.M., so Canada finished the first day of competition with two medals.

The Canadian team’s objective is top eight in the gold-medal count. The country was seventh in Beijing with 19 gold.

Both Huot and Mortimer race in the S10 classification which is defined as minimal physical impairment. Huot, who was born with club feet, was one of the faces of the Canadian Paralympic team prior to London with 16 career Paralympic medals.

The 17th felt sweetly satisfying for the University of Quebec communications student because of everything he’d put into winning it.

“It was a long road back and there’s a lot of athletes who could have walked away after Beijing and been done with it,” swim team coach Craig McCord said. “From where he was four years ago, this is a huge crawl back and he threw down on some guys who have thrown down (on him).

“The first event of the meet, he was sending a message to the other guys out there that ’guys I’m here to play hard.”’

Huot, a four-time Paralympian, will compete in the 100 backstroke, 400 freestyle and 100 freestyle next week.

Mortimer raced her first Paralympic final and finished second to New Zealand’s Sophie Pascal, who had set a world record in the morning heats.

Mortimer, 19, also has clubbed feet because of injuries and subsequent surgeries from a trampoline accident in 2008. She bounced off the trampoline and landed on a cement pad.

She had competed in Canada’s Olympic swim trials for Beijing just prior to the accident and was a prospect for the London Olympics. So to be in the city as a Paralympian following her accident was as moving for her as Huot’s victory was for him.

“I’m a super-emotional person,” Mortimer said. “I walked in this morning and I was screaming and tonight before my race I was bawling my eyes out for like half an hour. So I’m good now. Not a best time, silver medal, but Sophie Pascal was incredible.

“Being here and meeting all these people made me realize I am so incredible grateful for the experience I’ve had as a result of my accident. I don’t know if this was part of the journey I was supposed to walk in life but I wouldn’t take it back for the world.

“For the able-bodied people at home watching, I hope they gain some respect for me again because the Paralympics is so much harder than the able-bodied side of sport.”

Mortimer is a gold-medal contender in Friday’s 50-metre freestyle if she can manage the pain in her feet. The cool, damp, windy London weather makes the eight pins in her feet and the metal plate in her left one ache fiercely.

“My feet are killing me,” she said.

“I’m dying right now standing here talking to you guys.”

In other swim finals Thursday, Montreal’s Aurelie Rivard was sixth in the 200 individual medley and Calgary’s Brianna Nelson finished eighth in 100 backstroke. With 15 medals the target, the swim team’s performance will be crucial to Canada’s overall success.

In other medal events, Marie-Claude Molnar of Lemoyne, Que., was fourth in track cycling in the women’s individual C4 pursuit. Calgary’s Brayden McDougall was 12th in the men’s C1-2-3 time trial at the track, with Calgary’s Jaye Milley and Arnold Boldt of Osler, Sask., 25th and 26th respectively.

Villanueva leads Blue Jays get shutout of Rays THE CANADIAN PRESS Blue Jays 2 Rays 0 TORONTO — Righthander Carlos Villanueva pitched six shutout innings and Kelly Johnson drove in two runs with a double as the Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Tampa Bay Rays 2-0 on Thursday.

It was the second win in a row for the Blue Jays who are 8-19 in August and last in the American League East.

The Rays, who entered the day four games out of first in the division, have lost five of their past six. Tampa dropped 1 ½ games behind Baltimore for the second AL wildcard berth.

Villanueva (7-4) allowed five hits and one walk while striking out seven to win his first since July 27 against the Detroit Tigers. He lost four consecutive decisions over his previous five starts.

Casey Janssen pitched the ninth to earn his 18th save in the opener of a four-game series.

Rays’ left-hander Matt Moore (10-8) allowed six hits, three walks and two runs in six innings. He struck out seven in his first loss since July 22.

The Blue Jays (59-71) scored the game’s only runs in the first inning as Johnson, who was 4-for-27 on the 2-6 trip by the Blue Jays that ended Wednesday, drove in both runs with a double into the right-field corner.

Edwin Encarnacion started the rally with two-out walk, Adam Lind singled and Yunel Escobar walked to load the bases for Johnson, who entered the game batting .223.

The Rays (71-60) had their first two batters in the second on base after Evan Longoria and Matt Joyce singled. Jeff Keppinger sacrificed the runners to second and third. But Villanueva retired Luke Scott on a foul to the catcher and struck out Jose Lobaton to end the inning.

After Lobaton, Villanueva went on to strike out six in a row to equal a club record. It has been done three other times in

team history, the most recently by left-hander J.A. Happ on Aug. 17 against the Texas Rangers.

The Rays had two more singles in the fifth but Villanueva retired the final two batters on a fly and a line out to left field.

Villanueva was removed after 94 pitches and left-hander Darren Oliver took over to pitch a 1-2-3 seventh. Righthander Wade Davis matched him in the top of the seventh after replacing Moore.

Brad Lincoln sent down the Rays in order in the eighth.

MONTREAL — A large section of the roof blew off the top of Montreal’s Maurice Richard Arena on Thursday, apparently by the force of powerful winds.

Part of the roof, about the size of a couple of school buses, tumbled down the side of an exterior wall onto some trees. Officials did not report any injuries.

Several members of Canada’s national shorttrack speedskating team, which trains at the arena, gathered outside the building to survey the damage. They wondered whether their training session on Friday morning would still be a go.

“Nothing’s confirmed yet, I have no clue, but my guess is they might have to test the roof to make sure,” said Liam McFarlane, a team member for the last six years and a former Olympic alternate.

“Maybe we’ll be off a day. We’re heading off to Calgary in a week so either way we’ll have ice.”

The sounds of twisting, vibrating metal still echoed through the area hours after firefighters said the incident occurred.

At one point, a piece of sheet metal, around the size of a small coffee table, bounced down the street at high speed -- like a tumbleweed.

Making classes ‘inclusive’ AMERICAN EXPERT IMPLORES EDUCATORS TO RETHINK NORMAL AND TO LOOK AT A DISABILITY AS AN ATTRIBUTE, NOT A DEFICIT

BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF An United States expert witness in legal cases involving inclusion in the classroom had the ear of 680 teachers, principals, support staff, administration and trustees from the Red Deer Catholic Regional Schools on Thursday.

Julie Causton-Theoharis, an assistant professor in the Inclusive and Special Education Program in the Department of Teaching and Leadership at Syracuse University, delivered her message of rethinking schooling for students with disabilities or marginalized students to create better schools for everyone.

Causton-Theoharis said the first step is to rethink normal and to look at a disability as an

attribute, not a deficit.

“There is no normal,” she said.

“Students learn to read in various ways.

“They have academic ranges, behaviour ranges and we need to really see all students’ behaviour and all students’ learning ranges as OK and appropriate.

“Our job is to support those in new ways so they can be successful.”

In the United States, students with disabilities have a legal right to be in the regular classroom so it is not uncommon that cases will go before the courts.

“We’re winning every inclusion case — it is because legislation supports it,” said Causton-Theoharis.

She said when you put students with disabilities in your classrooms, you create environ-

ments that are more accepting and socially just, and give everyone access to the goal of schooling for “brighter futures.”

Schools in the United States that are successful have done so while involving co-teaching and co-planning between a general education and special education teacher in the classroom.

“It’s a shift for the adults but the results we have are huge academic gains for students with disabilities and for students without disabilities in inclusive schools,” she said.

“Part of it is because there are two teachers teaching the group.

“They are more creative in the instruction.”

Sally Deck, director of special education for Red Deer Catholic, said the school division continues to find new ways to

make inclusion work for all students.

Causton-Theoharis said she is encouraged by the direction Alberta is taking with Action on Inclusion, the provincewide inclusion initiative, because it has a clear distinction.

“We have a history of being wrong about students,” said Causton-Theoharis.

“We often think students who do not speak, for example, are not smart. We have been wrong about too many students. We have to re-think that.”

Causton-Theoharis’s work has appeared in such publications as Journal of Research in Childhood Education and International Journal of Inclusive Education and Behavioral Disorders. crhyno@reddeeradvocate.com

Workers install exterior insulation material on the west side of the new Central Alberta Cancer Centre at the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre on Thursday.

Cancer centre work on schedule $46-MILLION FACILITY EXPECTED TO OPEN IN 2013

BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF Construction of the new Central Alberta Cancer Centre is moving forward on schedule.

The $46-million, two-storey facility located on the south side of Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre is expected to open in spring/ summer 2013 and will be triple the size of the existing centre.

The new building will increase the size of the current chemother-

apy program, in addition to bringing radiation therapy to the city.

“The structure itself is complete. They are continuing work on the exterior,” said Robert Storrier, Alberta Infrastructure spokesperson, on Thursday.

He said roofing and windows are installed.

Storrier said work is completed on the main radiation vault area and they are now starting the mechanical and electrical work.

Construction began in December 2010.

The 4,835-square-metre building will triple the size of the centre and has been designed so that three more floors can be added.

The centre is part of a provincial strategy to open a corridor of cancer treatment centres across Alberta to improve access.

Plans are for three radiation vaults in Red Deer, only two of which would be used initially.

There is space for a fourth vault, if required. szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com

Setting a fire is like unleashing a wild animal, the sentencing judge told two Red Deer teens who pleaded guilty to arson on Thursday.

The two Red Deer boys, aged 16 and 17, were each sentenced to serve one year on probation, including curfews and 20 hours of community service, before Judge Bert Skinner in Red Deer youth court.

Charges were laid by police who investigated fires at two different homes in the Vanier Woods subdivision shortly after midnight on May 5.

Both boys pleaded guilty to the May 5 fire with charges relating to a second fire on May 15 withdrawn by the Crown.

The names of the boys cannot be published under provisions of Canada’s Youth Criminal Justice Act.

Museum closes space, permanent exhibit coming ARCHIVES, OTHER FACILITIES AND PROGRAMS WILL CONTINUE DURING TRANSITION

BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF Red Deer’s history will be reflected back to city residents when the local museum opens its permanent exhibit in March 2013.

To prepare for the big transformation to more than half the building, the Red Deer Museum and Art Gallery is effectively closing all of its exhibit space for a month.

From Sept. 6 to 28, “we won’t have anything in our exhibits galleries,” as major wall construction gets underway for the

NEW STUDENT ORIENTATION

permanent history exhibit that’s slated to open during Red Deer’s 100th anniversary year, said Karin Richardson-MacKenzie, the museum’s assistant director of marketing and development.

But the museum’s archives will remain open during this time, as will the Discovery Studio and ongoing programs such as MAG Saturdays, and MAG Sparks on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays.

As of Sept. 29, the part of the museum that’s not under construction will host the final exhibit of the year — Profit and Ambition: The Canadian Fur Trade, 1779-1821. This travelling exhibit from the Canadian Museum of Civilization in

Ottawa will show the rise and fall of the North West Company and take visitors on journeys with voyageurs and explorers.

The 8,000-square-foot Red Deer Museum and Art Gallery has largely been featuring art since its last renovation in 2009.

While visitors “were very supportive of our art collections, the public was saying, if we are a museum, we need to be showing our own history,” said RichardsonMacKenzie. That prompted the new historical exhibit project.

Red Deer Museum and Art Gallery employees Richard Cloutier and Kim West pack up an exhibit in the main gallery Thursday. The Gallery will close for renovations over the fall and winter months.

MUSEUM: Old exhibit reached limit The museum’s previous 25-year-old permanent exhibit was pulled out in 2009 when the museum also upgraded its temperature and humidity features.

While the old exhibit had been popular, it had “reached its limit,” said Richardson-MacKenzie. “People loved to come and look at things” — but it was always the same artifacts. “It didn’t allow us to switch out our collections.”

The new 4,800-square-foot permanent exhibit will feature several cases that can be changed to reflect different seasons, special anniversaries, or other events.

The $1.5-million historic display will involve 1,000 museum artifacts, 500 archival photographs, maps and documents. It’s being created by Reichpetch Design International, a Toronto-based museum design firm.

Richardson-MacKenzie said the local themes will revolve around unusual beginnings, community spirit, leaders and innovators, and the diversity of Red Deer today.

Among the many resources will be 50 filmed stories from immigrants who have arrived in the area since the Second World War. They will be available for visitors to choose from and view.

Richardson-MacKenzie said the films includes older immigrants from Europe as well as more recent immigrants from Central America and Africa.

FIRE: Accused ‘recognized error’ The two boys, both slim and well dressed, appeared with their parents and their lawyers, Gordon Yake for the younger boy and Michael Scrase for the other.

Crown prosecutor Tony Bell said fire was lit to a tarp covering the garage door and that the tarp melted as a result.

Yake described his client’s actions as an “incident of grave stupidity.”

He and Scrase both said their clients quickly realized the error of their ways and co-operated fully with police after being tracked by a police dog and subsequently arrested.

The sentence handed to them came about as a joint submission between the Crown and the defence.

The early guilty plea and the fact that neither boy had a prior criminal record were factors in the sentencing, as were each of their commitments to maintaining steady employment through the summer and their plans to continue working part-time while attending classes this fall.

After hearing the two fathers state that their sons would never again be called before the court, Skinner agreed to the conditions proposed in the joint submission, including a brief lecture on playing with fire.

“Fire is dangerous. It’s kind of like a wild animal. When you start it, you don’t know where it’s going to end up,” said Skinner.

“I think you’ve learned your lesson,” he said. bkossowan@reddeeradvocate.com

Roundup raises over $100,000 Urban cowboys raised $102,000 in Red Deer’s

18th-annual Cattle Roundup, a major fundraiser for the Red Deer Regional Health Foundation.

Started as a charity cattle sale with proceeds directed to the foundation, the roundup features an evening gala including a silent auction, raffles and plates full of the rancher’s most delectable treat — prairie oysters.

Canadian Country Music Awards winner Aaron Pritchett headlined the evening’s entertainment and donated his hat and shirt for the silent auction. Following Pritchett on stage were performers Dwain Sands of Innisfail and Brent McAthey from Calgary.

The annual roundup has now raised more than $1.5 million for the foundation, used to purchase high-end medical equipment.

This year, the money will be dedicated to buying equipment for seniors in local health care centres.

OTTAWA — The New Democrats are calling on the federal government to reveal what criteria it’s using to decide whether to allow a state-owned Chinese company to buy a Canadian oil-and-gas producer.

Ottawa kicked off its review of China National Offshore Oil Co.’s $15.1-billion deal to buy Calgary-based Nexen Inc. (TSX:NXY) on Wednesday.

In reviewing foreign takeovers, the minister must decide whether the deal would be of net benefit to Canada, but the Tories haven’t defined what that means.

On Thursday, a junior cabinet minister mused that protecting the environment would be part of the review process. Last week, the prime minister suggested public opinion could also be a factor.

But the New Democrats say the government needs to put forward a far more detailed definition because the public and industry need to know.

“We don’t have clear rules, we don’t have a clear process, we don’t have a transparent process. The public has lost confidence,” said NDP MP Peter Julian.

“And on the other hand, I think investors really question will this takeover blow up ... or is it subject to clear rules and a thorough review process that everybody can trust.”

The review will take 45 days initially, but can be extended by 30 days or more.

Conservative Minister of State for Finance Ted Menzies offered some explanation of net benefit Thursday.

“Net benefit makes sure that our resource sector will be well looked after,” Menzies said in a teleconference call from Moscow where he’s attending meetings ahead of the APEC summit.

“To me, that’s net benefit — to make sure that it’s treated in the same way as our Canadian companies.

“Indeed, many of the companies that are operating in the oil and gas sector right now are not Canadian companies so we make sure that they treat the environment with respect, make sure that they do due diligence and look after our environment as they’re doing it,” he said.

A poll released last week by the Sun News Network suggested the majority of Canadians aren’t in favour of the deal.

When asked about it during his Northern tour, the prime minister said

public opinion could also factor into his government’s decision on whether to sign-off.

“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,” Stephen Harper said.

Julian said other factors, like job creation, research and development and environmental protection must be taken into account.

The nationality of the buyer could be a factor as well, Julian said.

“It depends on the impact of that test of net benefit,” he said.

“If you have established criteria that allow for a level playing field, I think the decision becomes self-evident — but we don’t have that criteria.”

Julian wouldn’t say whether the NDP had any objections to a Chinese state-owned firm becoming a major player in the oil-and-gas sector.

He said the NDP doesn’t have a formal position on the deal itself and is seeking to consult with Canadians.

Industry Minister Christian Paradis, who is leading the review, said the government is consulting as well.

“The review process under the (Investment Canada Act)is rigorous, involving consultations with affected provinces/territories and other government departments,” he said in a statement.

“I will take the time required to carefully examine CNOOC’s proposed acquisition of Nexen Inc. and determine whether it is likely to be of net benefit to Canada.”

In announcing the friendly deal on July 23, the Chinese state-owned company vowed to make Calgary the headquarters of its North and Central American operations and to keep all of Nexen’s employees and management.

The agreement came after more than two months of negotiations between Nexen and CNOOC executives.

Nexen twice rejected CNOOC’s bid as too low before ultimately embracing the offer.

If successful, the deal would be China’s largest-ever overseas acquisition.

The Conservatives have rejected only two foreign takeovers in the last six years, most recently a US$40-billion bid by Anglo-Australian mining firm BHP Billiton for Potash Corp.

(TSX:POT) in 2010.

Banks’ profit stunning FIVE BIGGEST BANKS RECORD $7.8 BILLION PROFIT IN THIRD QUARTER

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Canada’s biggest banks posted a stunning $7.8 billion of cumulative profit in the third quarter, as consumers maintained their borrowing habits and domestic banking results propped up weakness in some other divisions.

The performance left analysts’ restrained predictions in the dust, marking an increase of 45 per cent from net income of $5.38 billion a year ago.

All five banks delivered a surprise boost to their dividends paid to shareholders.

Royal Bank (TSX:RY) also boasted that its profits rose 73 per cent to a new record high.

It was quite a contrast from concerns that lending would subside during the period, while banks looked for ways to cut their costs.

But several analysts say they’re not convinced these

bombastic results are sustainable into next year.

“Earnings from Canada face a lot of headwinds,” said National Bank analyst Peter Routledge in an interview.

“I think people are starting to pull back on how much they borrow from banks, but nonetheless it certainly didn’t start this quarter.”

At least two recent studies have shown that consumer debt still hasn’t subsided — despite repeated warnings from Finance Minister Jim Flaherty and Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney that interest rates will eventually rise, leaving some households hard pressed to meet borrowing obligations.

Last week, a report from TransUnion showed that consumer debt is actually growing, but mostly due to higher auto loans, while debt on cards and lines of credit was flat.

And last month, another consumer credit reporting agency,

Equifax Canada reported that consumer indebtedness, excluding mortgage debt, grew 3.1 per cent year-over-year in the second quarter.

Canadians are taking on alltime high debt, said Tom Lewandowski, financial services analyst with Edward Jones in St. Louis.

“They’re at levels that we (saw) here in the states prior to the financial crisis,” he said in an interview.

“That leaves little lending capacity from the consumer’s perspective going forward, so I think that has to led to lower consumer growth.”

In the short term, for investors looking for reliable payouts, the banks still managed to impress.

On Thursday, Royal Bank’s record profits amounted to $2.24 billion, or $1.47 per share. That compared with earnings of $1.29 billion or 83 cents per share in the year-earlier period.

Suites going quickly

Current account deficit rises OTTAWA — Lower exports and higher imports pushed the current account deficit up to $16 billion in the second quarter on a seasonally adjusted basis, Statistics Canada said Thursday. The agency said the shortfall was $5.9-billion higher than in the first quarter and greater than analysts had expected. The overall goods balance posted a $3.6-billion deficit in the second quarter, following three quarters of surpluses. “Falling energy prices as well as production disruptions hampered resource sector exports, while rising imports dented the merchandise trade balance,” wrote CIBC World Markets economist Emanuella Enenajor, who had predicted a $15.3-billion deficit.

This largely reflected trade with the United States, as the goods surplus with the U.S. narrowed by $5.5 billion to $9.9 billion, its lowest level since the fourth quarter of 2010. Total exports of goods were down $3.6 billion, while imports expanded $2.3 billion in the second quarter.

The current account balance is the country’s net income position covering merchandise trade, relative exchanges in services such as travel, and inflows and outflows of investments.

Criticism won’t affect trade ambitions OTTAWA — A Russian official says he’s not concerned the jailing of punk band Pussy Riot will discourage Canadian businesses from pursuing opportunities in his country. “As far as trade is concerned, Canadian businessmen don’t know who Pussy Riot are,” Konstantin Trofimov, Russia’s trade commissioner to Canada, said Thursday.

The case has sparked outrage globally because it is seen as emblematic of a major crackdown on dissent in Russia after Putin reassumed the presidency earlier this year.

The bank increased its dividend by five per cent to 60 cents per share, after already boosting it earlier this year — by six per cent in the first quarter.

Barclays analyst John Aiken said in a note that Royal reported what was one of the strongest quarters, when compared to its peers.

“Royal managed to earn through a weaker capital markets quarter on the back of a strong performance within wholesale lending,” he wrote.

TD Bank (TSX:TD) delivered the biggest quarterly dividend increase, lifting it seven per cent. The payout increased five cents to 77 cents.

TD reported profits of $1.7 billion, or $1.78 per share, from $1.49 billion or $1.58 a share a year ago.

Its domestic personal and commercial banking posted a record quarter, with reported net income of $864 million.

CHATEAU SUITES AT SYLVAN BAY

Steel awaits installation for a new machinery auction building under construction southeast of Innisfail Thursday.

New building going up for Empire Auctions INNISFAIL BUSINESS PLANS MORE LIVE SALES

BY HARLEY RICHARDS ADVOCATE BUSINESS EDITOR The steel is up on a building that could soon beckon bidders from Hwy 2.

Innisfail businessman Jody Bouvier plans to auction heavy equipment on the site just south of town and on the east side of the highway.

Operating as Empire Auctions, the business will market construction and farm equipment at periodic live sales.

Bouvier also owns Groundhog Sales Ltd., which sells and rents heavy equipment on the east side of Innisfail, and previously operated an auction business in Red Deer.

“I do have auction experience, and lots of experience in the heavy equipment business, so we’re just kind of combining both.”

He hopes to have his 11,000-square-foot building completed by the end of October, and his first equipment auction next spring.

Thereafter, Bouvier plans to conduct four sales a year: summer, pre-harvest, fall and

again in the spring.

“We’re also going to be selling vehicles,” he said, adding that those auctions could occur weekly or every two weeks.

“There’d be everything from quads, boats, what have you.”

Bouvier said many auto dealers travel to Calgary and Edmonton to attend consignment vehicle sales. He would like to draw them to Innisfail as well.

Empire Auctions might also sell other items, such as new merchandise like appliances that have sustained dents, scratches or other minor damage.

Bouvier think’s the auction mart’s prominent location on the highway should prove to be a real asset.

“You don’t get any better.”

Empire Auctions’ building is being developed on land that Red Deer County last year rezoned to direct control from agricultural.

The area wasn’t considered suitable for residential development. hrichards@reddeeradvocate.com

Anyone thinking of booking a weekend at Chateau Suites at Sylvan Bay had better hurry.

The 61-suite building that overlooks Sylvan Lake will only be available for long-term rental, effective Oct. 31. Currently, suites can be booked on a daily basis, with a reception desk and hotel services in place.

Bert Messier, who developed Chateau Suites and still owns about 25 units in the building, said that when the building was completed a decade ago the decision was made to operate it as a hotel. He explained that there was very little short-term accommodation in Sylvan Lake at the time.

Investors who bought suites in the condominiumized building were able to place them into a rental pool.

About 50 units remain in that rental pool, with the number diminishing over time, said Messier. More importantly, the arrival of the Best Western Plus Chateau Inn and the Comfort Inn & Suites in Sylvan Lake has increased the options for short-term guests.

“If you’re here for one night, you don’t need a suite, you need a bed.”

Suites in Chateau Suites at Sylvan Bay will be leased on a monthly or longer-term basis, with rents starting at about $1,500 a month for a one-bedroom, unfurnished apartment.

“That includes heated underground parking, it includes virtually everything,” pointed out Messier.

The building will be restricted to adult residents and have 24-hour manned security, he added, describing it as an “upscale premier-type of apartment.”

A number of units are already being leased on a long-term basis, he said.

Any staff at Chateau Suites whose positions are eliminated as a result of the change will have the opportunity to work at the Best Western Plus Chateau Inn, which Messier owns. hrichards@reddeeradvocate.com

Greeks promised new austerity measures will be last

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ATHENS — Greece’s prime minister promised his austerity-weary countrymen on Thursday that new spending cuts planned for 2013-14 would be the last major austerity package, but insisted it was vital to remain in the euro.

Antonis Samaras, who is struggling to get his uneasy coalition partners’ full support for the C11.5 billion ($14.4 billion) in cutbacks, argued that economic reforms and privatizations would restore growth after four years of deep recession.

“This is the last such package of spending cuts,” Samaras told a meeting of his conservative party’s officials. “The Greek economy can take no more.”

Samaras’ promise will sound familiar to Greeks, as previous governments have offered — and broken — similar pledges during more than two and a half years of harsh austerity measures designed to curtail huge budget deficits.

“Many of these cutbacks are difficult,

painful,” Samaras said.

“But they are also inevitable. For without them the country would return to zero credibility and effectively leave the euro.

Which would ... destroy the country.”

Athens has pledged to implement the spending cuts in 2013 and 2014 under its commitments to international creditors who are keeping Greece afloat with rescue loans. Otherwise, the next C31 billion bailout payment will be suspended, forcing the country to default on its mountain of debt while struggling to pay pensions and public sector salaries. Many analysts believe Greece would then have to leave the 17-member eurozone.

After weeks of deliberations with its two centre-left junior coalition partners, PASOK and the Democratic Left, Samaras’ conservative-led government says it is close to finalizing how exactly it will make the cuts.

The program will be discussed with debt inspectors who are due in Athens next week and will meet with Finance Minister Yannis Stournaras on Sept. 9.

Before that, Stournaras, who is trying to fine-tune the list of cutbacks with officials from the two junior partners, will hold talks in Berlin with German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble on Tuesday, the finance ministry said.

The two-month-old government has issued no official details on the C11.5-billion package, which is expected to rely heavily on further pension and public sector pay cuts.

A meeting of the three coalition party leaders on Wednesday produced conflicting statements on the measures. Stournaras said that the “basic scenario” has been settled, and “minor, technical” details remain to be thrashed out.

But Democratic Left leader Fotis Kouvelis insisted that he strongly opposes acrossthe-board income cuts.

His party also disagrees with reductions in local authority funding and in farmers’ pensions, as well as with proposals to suspend thousands of civil servants — who are guaranteed jobs for life — on reduced pay ahead of retirement.

back 11.19 points to 1,217.96.

Falling prices for oil and copper helped push the Canadian dollar down 0.28 of a cent at 100.78 cents US. U.S. markets were also lower as another batch of positive economic data served to raise uncertainty over whether Fed chairman Ben Bernanke would use a much-anticipated speech Friday to hint at further stimulus measures.

American retailers reported

strong sales gains for August. Target, Costco Wholesale and Limited Brands all reported results that beat estimates. And the U.S. Commerce Department reported that consumer spending rose 0.4 per cent in July, the best showing in five months.

The Dow Jones industrials dropped 106.77 points to 13,000.71.

The Nasdaq composite index declined 32.48 points to 3,048.71 and the S&P 500 index was off 11.01 points at 1,399.48.

Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s positive data followed the release of the Fedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest regional survey Wednesday, which showed the pace of economic growth expanding. Another report Wednesday showed the U.S. economy grew faster than earlier reported in the April-June quarter, at a 1.7 per cent annual pace.

The TSX found very slight support from the financial sector in the wake of positive earnings reports from Royal Bank (TSX:RY), TD Bank (TSX:TD) and CIBC (TSX:CM).

Royal Bankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s earnings grew to $2.24 billion or $1.47 per share, partly on strength in its Canadian consumer banking operations, from $1.29 billion a year ago. Excluding certain items, the bank earned $1.31 a share in the quarter against analyst estimates of $1.18. RBC also raised its quarterly dividend by five per cent to 60 cents per share and its stock rose 36 cents to US$54.96.

TD Bankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quarterly net income rose to $1.7 billion, or $1.78 per share, from $1.49 billion a year ago.

After adjustments, the bankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s net income was $1.82 billion or $1.91 per diluted share, seven cents better than estimates. TD also upped its dividend, which will rise five cents to 77 cents, but its stock lost 87 cents to $80.65.

CIBC shares also backed off, down $1.03 at $75.35 despite a big increase in net income in the quarter ended July 31 to $841 million from $591 million for the same period last year. Excluding one-time items, the bank earned $2.06 a share, a dime better than forecast. CIBC also announced a quarterly dividend increase of four cents a share.

National Bank (TSX:NA) is scheduled to report its results after markets close and its shares declined 81 cents to $71.12.

Bank of Montreal (TSX:BMO) and Scotiabank (TSX:BNS) both handed in earnings Tuesday that also beat expectations.

In total, Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s five biggest banks racked up $7.8 billion in profit in the third quarter, up 45 per cent from a year ago.

And Scotiabank announced after the market close Wednesday that it had reached an agreement to buy ING Bank of Canada from Netherlands-based parent ING Group for $3.13 billion in cash. Scotiabank also announced a public offering of 29 million common shares at $52 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; for gross proceeds of $1.5 billion â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to fund the acquisition. Its shares fell $1.30 to $52.30.

Hopes for further Fed stimulus had grown since the release of

minutes from the Fedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last interest rate meeting Aug. 1 which showed a growing number of members wanting to inject another round of stimulus into a weakening economy.

But economic data released since then, including better than expected job creation in July, rising retail sales and a recovering housing sector, actually point to a strengthening economy, meaning the Fed could find it hard to justify more easing, analysts say. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The only reason why he would want to it is to be pre-emptive with regards to something like the problems globally or the U.S. fiscal cliff,â&#x20AC;? said Chris Kuflik, wealth adviser at ScotiaMcLeod in Montreal, referring to a slate of tax hikes and spending cuts set to take place at the beginning of 2013, which could weigh heavily on growth and even push the U.S. back into recession. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As for predicting what he will say Friday, and what he will do, I think at this point itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really a flip of the coin.

Because data is coming in OK but you still have these big problems on the horizon.â&#x20AC;?

Elsewhere on the TSX, base metal stocks led decliners, down almost three per cent as December copper lost early momentum following four days of losses and closed two cents lower at US$3.45 a pound.

Major Drilling Group International (TSX:MDI) tumbled $1.47 or 13.69 per cent to C$9.27, while Teck Resources (TSX:TCK.B) fell $1.22 to $27.27.

The energy sector was down about 1.5 per cent with the October crude contract down 87 cents at US$94.62 a barrel. Suncor Energy (TSX:SU) fell 41 cents to C$30.70 while Canadian Natural Resources (TSX:CNQ) lost 50 cents to $29.87.

The gold sector was off about 0.5 per cent as bullion edged $5.90 lower to US$1,657.10 an ounce. Iamgold Corp. (TSX:IMG) was down 23 cents to C$12.67.

Equally important as what the Fed may do is the next interest rate announcement by the European Central Bank on Sept. 6. Gains on markets in August have also been anchored in hopes that the ECB will take steps to control high borrowing costs that have bedevilled the weakest members of the eurozone, including Spain.

Watchdog approves Enbridge oilsands pipeline project

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Albertaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s energy watchdog has approved a proposal by Enbridge to ship more oilsands crude from Fort McMurray to the Edmonton area.

The 385-kilometre Woodland pipeline extension project would start delivering crude by 2014, according to Enbridgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website. Enbridge says additional pipeline capacity will be needed to accommodate the growing crude volumes it expects to flow out of the region in the coming years.

The line would run parallel to other existing ones in the region, where

Enbridge (TSX:ENB) is the dominant crude transporter and has a number of projects on the go.

The companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s application also includes two pump stations along the route.

The pipeline is designed to carry 400,000 barrels per day of diluted bitumen that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t contain hydrogen sulphide, a dangerous gas.

The ERCB says there were many objections to the project, most of which were withdrawn once Enbridge changed the proposed route of the pipeline.

It says all objections were resolved once hearings began in June, except for one from someone whose land was

on the original proposed route.

Enbridge wants to build a $6-billion pipeline connecting oilsands crude to a West Coast port so the oil can be shipped to energy-hungry Asian countries.

A National Energy Board and Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency panel is in the midst of weighing the Northern Gateway proposal, which faces fierce opposition in British Columbia.

Condo prices on the rise in 2013 TORONTO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A new condo report suggests first-time buyers, retirees and population growth will continue to fuel demand and price growth for the compact living spaces over the next few years.

The study by Genworth Canada found that average condo resale prices are expected to rise next year in seven of the eight metropolitan centres studied.

Prices in Toronto are projected to jump 2.5 per cent to $312,352. The highest increase however, is expected to be in Edmonton where prices could rise 3.2 per cent. Vancouver is the only city where condo prices are expected to drop, by two per cent to $348,152.

The report stands in contrast to warnings from economists and officials that the condo market in some hot markets is reaching bubble territory that could soon burst.

The Bank of Canada and federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty have cautioned Canadians repeatedly to moder-

ate borrowing on real estate, declaring household debt to be the domestic economyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s number one enemy.

The central bank noted certain segments of the housing market that have a persistent oversupply â&#x20AC;&#x201D; such as condos in Toronto â&#x20AC;&#x201D; face a higher risk of a price correction.

Genworth â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which earns revenue from selling mortgage insurance â&#x20AC;&#x201D; notes that rising prices for single-detached homes are driving first-time buyers to condos, but retirees also continue to prop up demand.

It suggests that the population is expected to grow in all eight cities studied over the next few years, while employment growth and low interest rates should also support the market. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This data corroborates our view that the demand for condos in Canada, particularly at the price-point we insure, is well supported by our economy and our population,â&#x20AC;? said Brian Hurley, chairman and CEO of Genworth Canada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For those seeking to own a home affordably in urban centres, condos remain a good option.â&#x20AC;?

N.Y. investigating energy drink industry

JIM DALY JULI SLATTERY

FOCUS ON FAMILY

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Make sure kids set school goals Question: I’m struggling with how to keep my kids motivated throughout the school year. In past years, I’ve felt like the cheerleader, constantly encouraging them to take school seriously. How can I make this year different?

Juli: Many parents dread the beginning of a new school year even more than their children, for the very reason you mentioned. It takes a lot of energy to motivate kids to stay on top of their work!

One key to starting out the year on a positive note is to begin with realistic and objective goals as a source of motivation. Whereas the right kind of goals can be encouraging, the wrong goals can add to feelings of apathy and failure.

First of all, make sure the goals you help your kids set are realistic. For example, most children are not capable of getting all A’s and stop trying when they receive their first subpar grade.

So, instead, how about setting the goal of getting a higher math grade than they did last year or turning in their assignments on time?

Secondly, your child’s goals should be objective or measurable. Having the goal of “working hard” may sound inspiring, but it will feel like nailing JellO to a tree unless there is an objective way of seeing progress.

Finally, remember that not all school goals should be academic.

Although grades are important, your child may also need to focus on goals more related to character or social skills.

Whether your children are entering kindergarten or college, help them to create a goal or two and write them down.

Younger children may need to have their goals mapped on a sticker chart so they can see their progress.

Your job is to slowly transfer the motivation for doing well to your children.

Teaching your kids to set and achieve goals is a great step in the process.

Question: I have a happy, smart, energetic 8-yearold daughter who’s struggling with two problems — she’s messy and off-task most of the time.

She’s a straight-A student, but I constantly have to push her to get ready for school, do her homework and get to bed.

It’s exhausting!

She seems unconcerned and unmotivated, and would rather play than anything else. How can I help her?

Jim: We’ve heard from other parents in your situation. Our first thought is that your daughter could use a good dose of self-discipline.

This would not only help her be more efficient in completing her tasks, but it would also relieve you of the burden of policing her all the time.

Implementing a system of rewards and reinforcement can help your daughter learn to take responsibility and show initiative.

Maybe you can tell her that if she gets herself ready for school for a straight week without having to be constantly monitored, you’ll take her out for a milkshake on the weekend. (The occasional milkshake is a great motivator for my boys — and for me, too!)

She also needs to experience negative consequences.

You don’t want her to flunk out of school, but if you stop hounding her about her homework and she ends up getting a lower grade as a result of a late assignment, the trauma of that experience might offer just the motivation she needs to stay on top of her schoolwork next time.

Be sure to cut her some slack, too. Some kids are more messy and flighty by nature, and you don’t want to change her personality entirely.

Just be sure to affirm her when things go right. A kind word from you will likely be the best reward of all.

High-octane energy drinks including 5-Hour Energy and Monster that promise healthy bursts of energy are getting pulled over in New York.

New York state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman issued subpoenas this summer to the drinks’ makers, according to a person familiar with the inquiry, speaking to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the investigation hasn’t yet been made public.

The maker of the ubiquitous 5-Hour Energy shots, Living Essentials LLC, disclosed the probe to investors in a recent private report, the person said.

The person also said subpoenas were sent to PepsiCo Inc., which makes AMP energy drinks, in the investigation first reported by The Wall Street Journal.

The probe is examining how the drinks are made, often loaded with caffeine and sugar, along with what critics say is a mostly useless amount of Vitamin B, and how they are marketed at sports events and sometimes in bars. That can lead to a dizzying combination of alcohol impairment without the sedative effect that slows drinkers down.

Can Mars robot mission inspire?

SEVEN MINUTES OF TERROR CAN’T RISE TO NEIL ARMSTRONG’S ‘ONE SMALL STEP FOR MAN, ONE GIANT LEAP FOR MANKIND’ THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — Neil Armstrong inspired millions with his moonwalk.

Can a feisty robotic rover exploring Mars do the same for another generation? With manned missions beyond the International Space Station on hold, the spotlight has turned on machines.

While it did not rise to Armstrong’s “one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind,” interest was so high in the rover Curiosity’s “seven minutes of terror” approach to the red planet earlier this month that NASA’s website crashed after receiving nearly 2 billion hits.

The rover last week beamed home photographs of its first wheel tracks on the Martian soil since its daredevil landing “There’s something exciting about reaching another place in the solar system. If you think about the kind of interest the landing of Curiosity had, you get a sense of that,” said Smithsonian Institution space curator Roger Launius. It wasn’t on the same level as Armstrong’s feat, “but it was pretty darn exciting,” he said.

When Armstrong, then fellow astronaut Buzz Aldrin, stepped on the moon on July 20, 1969, an estimated 600 million people watched and listened.

“Virtually the entire world took that memorable journey with us,” recalled Buzz Aldrin after Armstrong’s death Saturday.

Early in the Space Age, the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo astronauts were the public face of NASA’s space endeavour while the unmanned lunar missions that paved the way were in the shadows.

The public craved adventure and the manned missions delivered. Aiming for the moon was new and exciting — not to mention dangerous — and the U.S. was locked in a Cold War space race with the Soviets.

Next, the space shuttle ferried a new crop of astronauts to low-Earth orbit, but after three decades of service, it became routine. And the Cold War thawed with the Russians and Americans co-operating on the Russian space station Mir and the International Space Station.

With the space shuttle fleet retired, the space station is all that’s left.

Its crew of six for the most part quietly goes about doing its job about 250 miles above the Earth. President Barack Obama nixed plans for returning astronauts to the moon in favour of landing on an asteroid and eventually Mars.

These days, space exploration is carried out by robotic spacecraft — commanded by human handlers on Earth.

Advances in technology have allowed unmanned spacecraft to go farther and peer deeper, with craft circling Mercury, Saturn, asteroid Vesta and others headed for Jupiter and dwarf planet Pluto. The twin Voyager craft are still going strong at the fringes of the solar system 35 years after their launch in 1977.

American University space policy analyst Howard McCurdy said today’s generation of explorers was raised on technology and tends to get more jazzed about delivering a car-size rover to Mars.

“Robotic exploration has taken more of a centre stage,” he said. “It gets more publicity now than the International Space Station.”

When the first Mars rover Sojourner landed in 1997, science fiction

writer Arthur C. Clarke rephrased Armstrong’s famous line and said the event was “one small step for the rover.”

Three other rovers have followed including Curiosity, which landed Aug. 5 by executing an intricate routine that ended with it being lowered by cables to the surface. Curiosity’s acrobatics proved so popular that its Twitter followers surged from 120,000 the eve of landing to more than a million (the tweets are being written by the public affairs office at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which manages the $2.5 billion mission.)

Curiosity chief scientist John Grotzinger said Monday the wheel prints on Mars may turn out to be an iconic image just like those first boot prints on the lunar surface.

“Instead of a human,

it’s a robot pretty much doing the same thing,” he said.

Henry Lambright, a professor of public policy and space scholar at Syracuse University, said while Curiosity is inspiring, the world still needs to send humans beyond low-Earth orbit.

“It can’t inspire to the degree that Apollo did because a robot can’t inspire the way a man can,” Lambright said.

On Monday, NASA played a recording from Administrator Charles Bolden that had been sent up to the rover on Mars and relayed back to Earth. In it, he thanked scientists and engineers for their achievement.

David Lavery of NASA headquarters said the hope is that someone will be inspired by Bolden’s message and become the first human to stand on Mars.

CAT pins hopes on rednecks THEATRE COMPANY DEEP IN DEBT AS IT OPENS SEASON WITH COMEDY ‘GREATER TUNA’

BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF The KKK is meeting in Tuna, Tex., to figure out what to do about those poor squatters living at the edge of town.

Concerns were raised about the squatters scaring away wildlife, leaving nothing for the men of Tuna to shoot.

Those who like the redneck comedy of Jeff Foxworthy and Larry the Cable Guy will probably get plenty of chortles from the politically incorrect humour of Greater Tuna, Central Alberta Theatre’s season opener — and important fundraiser.

CAT members are counting on a great audience turnout for this play

by Joe Sears, Jaston Williams and Ed Howard, which is on from Sept. 6 at Red Deer’s Memorial Centre.

“We are having a financial crunch and we very much need the support of our patrons to help us survive this,” said longtime CAT member Judith Moody, who is directing Greater Tuna.

The second-oldest community theatre group in Canada recently revealed that it is some $700,000 in debt — largely because renovations to City Centre Stage went over budget.

Although the 42-year-old theatre company had a long-term lease on the downtown facility and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars renovating it, the group now can’t afford the monthly lease at City Centre Stage. CAT is instead launching its season at the Memorial Centre, which it has long operated.

Patrons can choose between seeing the play only on Thursday evenings or seeing the comedy and enjoying warm hors d’oeuvres served in the lobby on Friday through Sunday showings, as there’s no space for sit-down dinner theatre.

Moody believes CAT is too much of a Red Deer institution to go away. “I think the public can help us. . . .

“This is such a fun play. . . . You can’t help but laugh, and I honestly think some people will want to see it again — it’s so fascinating.”

The kicker is that only two actors take on more than 20 roles to bring this “third smallest” Texas town to life.

The tall order might raise skepticism if not for the fact that Moody has cast a pair of highly seasoned actors and audience favourites in the roles.

Albert Azzara and Curtis Closson, who each take on about 10 eccentric characters, were last seen in the CAT comedy Booster McCrane, P.M. Azzara depicted the deadpan aboriginal minister of everything in the Canadian government and Closson played an out-ofcontrol American renegade who shoots up the prime minister’s office.

Moody admits she gets a giggle each

Albert Azzara, left, as Pearl, and Curtis Closson, as Stanley, rehearse a driving scene from Central Alberta Theatre’s Greater Tuna. CAT members are counting on a great audience turnout for its season opener — an important fundraiser for the theatre company, which is $700,000 in debt.

What: Greater Tuna, a two-actor comedy by Joe Sears, Jaston Williams and Ed Howard, is Central Alberta Theatre’s season-opening fundraiser When: Sept. 6 to 9 and 13 to 16. There’s a show-only option on Thursdays at 7:30 p.m. Hors d’oeuvres will be served along with the show on Fridays to Saturdays from 6:30 p.m. (curtain at 7:30 p.m.), or Sundays from 5 p.m. (curtain at 6 p.m.)

Where: Red Deer’s Memorial Centre Tickets: Show-only tickets are $28.70, while show with hors d’oeuvres tickets are $45.70 from the Black Knight Ticket Centre time the strapping Azzara slaps on a wig to portray Aunt Pearl, who lives a life of not-so-quiet desperation in Tuna.

Pearl is driven to put out poison for the “egg-sucking poodles” that routinely disturb her chickens. But after accidentally poisoning her husband’s prized hunting dog, Pearl has to phone an accomplice to help her drag the carcass onto the road so she can run over it to evade detection.

“This has to be Albert’s greatest role,” said Moody.

Among the colourful characters played by Closson is Petey Fisk of Tuna’s humane society. The mild, everoptimistic Fisk goes on the local sta-

tion, Radio-0KKK, to talk about the plight of the local duck population and to try to adopt out the Pet-of-the-Week.

Even when the pet is an especially yappy dog that’s been passed over by a multitude of families, Fisk is undeterred. He suggests there must be some deaf person who could provide a good home.

Also heard on local radio is an interview with town snob Vera Carp, who’s working on the Smut Catchers committee to ban certain books from the local library.

On her hit list is Alex Haley’s Roots, “for its one-sided depiction of slavery,” and Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, for promoting teen sex.

Greater Tuna, which was given a command performance at the White House for former president George H.W. Bush and Barbara Bush, “is all goofy fun,” said Moody, who believes there’s a growing audience for redneck humour as a push-back to the increasing political correctness in our society.

She added, “We can see people we know in this” — and also sometimes recognize ourselves. “We think we’re so enlightened, but we all have some subtle prejudices and here they are gently being pushed forward.”

Only after acknowledging the redneck attitudes we may secretly harbour can we can start to rethink some of our views of the world, said Moody. lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

‘Whipped cream lady’ looks back

BY ERIK LACITIS ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES

“Runnin’ reds, killin’ peds,” he jokes. Maybe he’s not joking.

His bike doesn’t have brakes, much to the chagrin of his girlfriend Vanessa (Dania Ramirez, of TV’s Entourage), a fellow courier who wishes Wilee would just slow down.

Yet another courier, jealous rival Manny (Wolé Parks), wishes Wilee would slow down with Vanessa.

“I can’t stop,” Wilee says. “Don’t want to, either.”

He isn’t entirely lacking in common sense or scruples. Sent across town on a rush delivery for an anxious woman named Nima (Jamie Chung, The Hangover Part II), he turns old-school postman when a burly fellow named Monday (Michael Shannon) demands he hand over the envelope.

Nothing will stop Wilee from completing his appointed rounds. He takes flight, with Monday in hot pursuit by car. There’s much more at stake here than a money-back guarantee, as we learn on the gallop.

Koepp parcels out information, following an onscreen timeline that frequently backs up to fill in a plot gap. At times the movie resembles a commercial for a GPS device, as Wilee plots the fastest line from

2000, while visiting here, that recognition began for Erickson’s role on that memorable album cover. She had stopped by Golden Oldies to buy some used copies of “Whipped Cream.”

She didn’t have any copies herself and wanted to sign some for friends. Before that, the album’s importance in pop culture hadn’t registered with her.

But when Dean Silverstone, owner of Golden Oldies, found out he was dealing with the actual Whipped Cream Lady, he thought, “It was like finding a jewel that’s been buried in the desert for 40 years. Everybody knows about the album cover but nobody knows about her.”

By 2012 standards, that album cover is demure.

Yet it endures. Teen dreams.

“I looked at it as being an ice-cream sundae,” Erickson says.

A to B, and how best to dodge threatening taxis and looming baby strollers.

It’s a tougher movie than you might expect — some bad things happen — but also a goofier one than the circumstances would suggest. The object being energetically delivered and hotly sought is a genuine MacGuffin. It makes no real sense to the story but it is nevertheless of utmost importance to the people in it.

Shannon’s bug-eyed Monday makes the obligatory Wile E. Coyote joke about Wilee, but it is actually Monday who is more like a cartoon character. He wants that MacGuffin, really, really badly and he’s prepared to go to absurd lengths to get it.

It’s a clever story, as propulsive as some of Koepp’s best-known work — he wrote the screenplays for Jurassic Park and Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man — but without the arcane intricacies that sometimes mar his more serious films. He also wrote the first

Mission: Impossible movie, and people are still wondering what that was about.

The shoot kept going, Erickson remembers, and she didn’t notice that the shaving cream kept slipping down.

Months later, Whorf mailed her two outtakes.

“He sent them to shock me. And it did shock me. I screamed,” says Erickson. “I was a Christian girl.”

Erickson has kept a copy of one of the outtakes, and it is a bit more revealing, but not by that much.

But she worried that her then-husband, a New York shoe manufacturer, and “conservative,” would become upset. She hid the two photos behind the refrigerator at a girlfriend’s home. Later, she’d tear up the photo she deemed the more revealing.

In the mid-70s, raising a young son, Erickson moved to Longview to be near her sister, and for years, ran an art studio.

Guys, the girl of your teen dreams now is 76.

Her name is Dolores Erickson and she has been living in Longview, Wash., for around 35 years, after a career that included being an Eileen Ford model in New York.

She appeared at a Seattle record store recently and wants to tell you teen dreamers, “Enjoy the memories.”

You don’t know her by name — maybe as the “Whipped Cream Lady” — but certainly by the album cover on which she is featured: the 1965 Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass’ Whipped Cream & Other Delights.

There she is, seemingly naked but covered ‘IT WAS LIKE in what is supposed to be FINDING A whipping cream looking at YOU. JEWEL THAT’S Whenever a list of the BEEN BURIED most memorable record IN THE DESERT covers is put together, album is right at the FOR 40 YEARS. that top.

How did a 2006 New EVERYBODY Yorker magazine article KNOWS ABOUT explain the impact of that photo?

She is licking cream from the index finger of her right hand . . . in the virtually pornless atmosphere of the suburban mid-sixties it was . . . the pinnacle of allure.”

The record spent 141 weeks on Billboard’s Top 40 albums chart.

In later years, at concerts, Alpert would tell audiences, “Sorry, but I can’t play the cover for you.”

Erickson drove up here to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Golden Oldies, a used-record store. A steady stream of fans stopped by, including, surprisingly, women.

Toni Weschler, 56, got signed copies for her brothers. She remembers growing up in New York and playing the album.

She remembers how her brothers couldn’t take their eyes off the LP. “They stared at it constantly. It was very risque. They hadn’t seen this much breast in their life.”

For Erickson, the photo shoot was one of many in her career.

Her modeling began when she was 14 and won a contest at a department store in Seattle. Her modeling career blossomed, and she ended up a staff model for Macy’s in San Francisco, in the days when department stores could afford such things.

Erickson spent time in Los Angeles, signed to contracts by Paramount and then Warner Bros., but her movie and TV career mostly consisted of bit parts.

At age 24, she went to New York City and ended up being signed by Eileen Ford. She was in ads for Max Factor and was in all the women’s magazines.

Erickson is 5 feet 7, with dark brown hair and green eyes, and still weighs about the same as in the modeling days, which is around 119 pounds.

But she’s cognizant of time having gone by.

“Please don’t do any close-ups,” she tells a photographer.

In 1965, she got a call to fly to Los Angeles for a photo shoot for A&M, a new label started by Herb Alpert and Jerry Moss. The photographer was Peter Whorf, with whom she had done other covers.

Payment would be around $1,500 ($11,000 in today’s dollars), plus expenses.

The shoot began midmorning and lasted through the afternoon. Erickson put on a bikini, but with the straps down.

She was 29 and three months’ pregnant. “But I wasn’t showing,” she says.

Erickson sat on a stool and, from the waist down, Whorf placed on her a white Christmas-tree blanket.

Then shaving cream was sprayed on Erickson.

Under the bright lights, whipping cream would melt, although it was real whipping on top of her head.

Book on bin Laden raid lifts veil on U.S. special operations’ shadow war WASHINGTON — A Navy SEAL’s firsthand account of the raid that killed Osama bin Laden pulls back the veil on the secret operations conducted almost nightly by elite American forces against terrorist suspects.

Former SEAL Matt Bissonnette’s account contradicted in key details the account of the raid presented by administration officials in the days after the May 2011 raid in Abbotabad, Pakistan, that killed the al-Qaida leader, and raised questions about whether the SEALs followed to the letter the order to only use deadly force if they deemed him a threat.

Bissonnette wrote that the SEALs spotted bin Laden at the top of a darkened hallway and shot him in the head even though they could not tell whether he was armed. Administration officials have described the SEALs shooting bin Laden only after he ducked back into a bedroom because they assumed he might be reaching for a weapon.

Military experts said Wednesday that if Bissonnette’s recollection is accurate, the SEALS made the right call to open fire on the terrorist mastermind who had plenty of time to reach for a weapon or explosives as they made their way up to the third level of the house where he hid.

Bissonnette wrote the book, No Easy Day, under the pseudonym Mark Owen as one of the men in the room when they killed bin Laden. The book is to be published next week by Penguin Group (USA)’s Dutton imprint. The Associated Press purchased a copy Tuesday.

For years, the primary weapon in the war on terror has been unmanned drones firing missiles from the sky. But the Bissonnette book reveals a more bloody war waged by special operators, one the public almost never gets to see close up.

The book offers intimate details of a special operations mission. The most memorable scenes are also the most human moments. Bissonnette describes one of the SEALs dressing the wounds of a woman who was shot when she lunged toward the SEALs. In another scene, a terrified mother clutches her child and a young girl identifies the dead man as Osama bin Laden, seemingly unaware of the significance of those words.

In that regard, the bin Laden raid seems destined to become an anachronism. Nearly every top al-Qaida figure killed by the United States since the 9-11 attacks has died in a remotecontrolled strike by unmanned drone aircraft — their deaths seen back in Washington via high-definition video.

An estimated 80 top terrorist leaders have been killed in places like Pakistan and Yemen, according to The Long War Journal.com, which tracks such airborne strikes.

Special operations troops often conduct raids similar to the bin Laden strike a dozen times a night in Afghanistan, and previously in Iraq, killing thousands of mostly mid- and lowerlevel terrorists. It’s all part of a war on terror that is winding down and giving way to the drone war outside traditional war zones, given the scheduled drawdown of most U.S. troops in Afghanistan by the end of 2014.

No Easy Day shows how routine such operations have become. But the public rarely hears about them unless the target is as historic as bin Laden.

The SEALS, according to Bisson-

nette’s description, were prepared as they had been in other raids for a gunfight in close quarters, which likely would last only a few seconds, with no margin for error. By the time the SEALs reached the top floor of bin Laden’s compound, roughly 15 minutes had passed, giving the terror leader adequate time to strap on a suicide vest or get a gun, he said.

Bissonnette says he was directly behind a point man going up the stairs in the pitch black hallway. Near the top, he said, he heard two silenced shots fired by the first SEAL into the hallway. He wrote that the point man had seen a man peeking out of a door on the right side of the hallway, but Bissonnette could not tell from his vantage point whether the bullets hit the target.

The author writes that the man ducked back into his bedroom and the SEALs followed, only to find him crumpled on the floor in a pool of blood with a hole visible on the right side of his head and two women wailing over his body. Once they wiped the blood off his face, they were convinced it was bin Laden.

Bissonnette says the point man pulled the two women out of the way and shoved them into a corner. He and the other SEALs trained their guns’ laser sights on bin Laden’s still-twitching body, shooting him several times until he lay motionless.

The SEALs later found two weapons stored by the doorway, untouched, the author said.

National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor late Tuesday would not comment on the apparent contradiction between the administration’s account and the book’s version.

Bissonnette writes that during a pre-raid briefing, an administration lawyer told them that they were not on an assassination mission. According to Bissonnette, the lawyer said if bin Laden did not pose a threat, they should detain him.

“If they didn’t feel like there was a threat, they would have captured him,” co-author Kevin Maurer told the AP on Wednesday. “But from when they first hit the ground, all the way until they got to the third deck, they had encountered armed men, which made the use of force essential,” said Maurer, a former AP reporter.

A former deputy judge advocate general for the Air Force defended the decision to shoot the man the SEALs saw in the hallway.

“In a confined space like that where it is clear that there are hostiles, the SEALs need to take reasonable steps to ensure their safety and accomplish the mission,” said the former JAG, ret.

Maj. Gen. Charlie Dunlap, who now teaches at Duke University law school.

The Pentagon and the CIA, which commanded the mission, are examining the manuscript for possible disclosure of classified information, and could take legal action against Bissonnette.

In a statement provided to the AP, the SEAL author says he did “not disclose confidential or sensitive information that would compromise national security in any way.”

The book does include information not previously reported about specific CIA officers’ involvement in the raid.

Bissonnette’s real name was first revealed by Fox News and confirmed to the AP. Jihadists on al-Qaida websites have posted purported photos of the author, calling for his murder.

Jackson family marks pop star’s 54th birthday with trip to Gary, Ind.

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Michigan.

“We just want you to know how much he meant to us and the city of Gary,” the mayor said.

Paris and Prince Michael didn’t speak during the brief presentation.

Later, in the moments before the vigil was to start, the two, joined by Jackson’s other child, Prince Michael II, signed autographs outside the Jackson home. A large crowd formed around them, with fans shoving books and posters in the teens’ faces.

Jackson’s sister LaToya told the crowd the family’s musical fame started in the city, east of Chicago, and in “this little house.” After saying, “We all love you, Michael,” LaToya folded her hands and looked to the sky.

GARY, Ind. — The scene outside the childhood home of Michael Jackson resembled a party as fans joined members of the pop star’s family for a vigil Wednesday, which would have been his 54th birthday.

Fans danced to Jackson’s music prior to the arrival of his children and mother at the house at 2300 Jackson St., where the King of Pop, his siblings and their parents lived until 1969. In the days after Jackson’s death in 2009, the singer’s admirers piled stuffed animals, flowers and photos outside the tiny home in Gary.

Among those at the Wednesday night vigil was Andrei Tejada, 32, a Chicago veterinary GALAXY CINEMAS RED DEER technician student who 357-37400 HWY 2, RED DEER COUNTY 403-348-2357 said she was pleased that Jackson’s relatives were SHOWTIMES FOR FRIDAY AUGUST 31, 2012 TO attending the event.

1877 Steinway grand piano restored with a little help from McCartney

BRIEF Robin Roberts begins medical leave from GMA, but pledges to return NEW YORK — Robin Roberts has said goodbye to ABC’s Good Morning America, but only for a while.

The GMA anchor made her final appearance Thursday before going on medical leave for a bone marrow transplant.

Roberts’ departure was first planned for Friday, but she told viewers she chose to exit a day early to visit her ailing mother in Mississippi.

In June, she first disclosed that she has MDS, a blood and bone marrow disease.

She will be hospitalized next week to prepare for the transplant.

The donor will be her older sister, Sally-Ann Roberts, who was on hand for Thursday’s emotional send-off.

There’s no timetable for when Roberts will be back at GMA, but she promised she’ll return “as soon as I can.”

DETROIT — An 1877 Steinway grand piano used by many Motown greats has been restored, thanks to a little help from its friend, Paul McCartney.

The former Beatle told Motown Museum officials following a concert last summer in Detroit that he wanted to assist with the restoration of the piano after learning the historic instrument could no longer be played.

Robin Terry, chair of the museum’s Board of Trustees, announced late Wednesday that the restoration had been completed.

Terry says the nine-foot (2.74-metre) piano will make its debut at a charitable event Sept. 18 at Steinway Hall in New York City.

At that event, McCartney and Motown founder Berry Gordy will play it for the first time following its restoration.

The piano then will go back on display at the Motown Museum’s famed Studio A. Watc “Sam h for o ur ple Con test Red Dee r avai Entry fo ” lab rm Dinin le in the s g Gu ide

Parents seem unhappy and full of bitterness Dear Annie: We are three daughters who need help. Our parents’ home seems unhappy and full of bitterness. Mom and Dad have been married for 59 years, but Mom doesn’t seem to enjoy life. Dad is not perfect, but we really don’t know their past personal stories and relationship. They seem to have led separate lives: Mom at home with six kids to raise, and Dad working long hours at his business.

Since Dad’s retirement, they have settled into a routine of doctor appointments and staying home. Dad no longer wants to do anything, because Mom is constantly telling him that he doesn’t do things correctly. He embarrasses her.

Dad has no interest in going places due to his health issues, and Mom doesn’t want him driving much or staying home alone.

The constant nagging has created an unhealthy environMITCHELL ment. It is difficult to visit be& SUGAR cause we don’t like to see and hear them like this. We have sat down with them to discuss the situation and offered suggestions, but there has been neither change nor resolution. Counseling is not an option, as Mom seems overly concerned with what others know about her or will think of her. Dad doesn’t seem to be concerned about anything.

We don’t want to become the kind of kids who stop seeing their parents. Any suggestions? — The Girls Dear Girls: When couples retire, they can fall into the trap of doing nothing and getting on each other’s nerves. Mom resents Dad invading her domestic domain, and Dad is depressed because his identity was tied up in his job. And if they have health issues, it can exacerbate the problem because getting out of the house can be problematic or exhausting. It’s a shame your parents won’t address their problems, particularly if they are depressed.

We recommend you find ways to get them out of the house, together or separately. Take them out for dinner. Invite Mom to a play. Encourage Dad to attend a ballgame with you. Look into senior programs in their area, and perhaps offer to go with them until they become interested enough to go on their own and, hopefully, make friends. Please don’t give up on them. They need you.

Dear Annie: I’m 13 and live with my mom. She always overreacts when my room is not absolutely spotless, which leaves me wondering whether she has OCD. She doesn’t seem to care that the rest of the house is a mess. She seems to magnify the messiness of my room only.

When I confront her about this, she gets mad and sends me to my room. I think she wants me to be holed up in there so I’ll see how messy it is. But I don’t. Does she have OCD? How would I know? Help me. — My Room Is Clean Dear Room: If your mom is only concerned with the mess in your room, it’s probably not OCD. It’s more likely that your room is a little messy.

Mom sounds stressed. If you find yourself arguing with her a lot, please consider that the two of you may be pushing each other’s buttons more than you intend. Try talking to her when you are both calm.

Explain that you don’t want to fight. Ask how to make things better. If it doesn’t help, please discuss it with your school counselor.

Dear Annie: This is in response to “Single Too Long,” the 45-year-old gentleman who is having problems meeting women who have never been married and don’t have children.

I would like to mention No Kidding (nokidding. net), an international “social club” for adults, single or married, who never have parented and don’t wish to. Not everyone wants kids, and many of us are surrounded by others constantly trying to change our minds. No Kidding is not a dating site. It’s just a place for people without kids to meet like-minded others. — California

Eco-friendly Tips to save the planet and some money when heading back to school

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Turn over a new leaf and green your back-to-school routine this fall by introducing some environmentally friendly practices to your children.

“There’s kind of a starting point that’s built into the launch of the school year. I think it’s a good time to think about how you want to run your household or what kind of choices you want to make with the family,” said Gillian Deacon, author of “There’s Lead in Your Lipstick” (2011) and “Green For Life” (2008).

There are plenty of small steps you can take that won’t negatively impact the environment and will save money too, from purchasing clothing and school supplies to packing lunches and transportation.

First, evaluate what your children actually require.

“You really don’t need to go hog-wild. Taking the kids on a shopping spree is a way of getting kids excited to go back to school, but I think it’s important for parents from a sustainability and cost point of view to really think about what you actually need for back to school,” said Toronto-based Deacon. “I think that idea of being more conscious of what we consume and how much we actually need it is a good attitude

Kids chew on erasers, so Vasil, who has been writing her weekly Ecoholic column for Now magazine since 2004, suggests buying erasers made of recycled natural rubber rather than those made of vinyl.

“Vinyl is a toxic plastic. It’s been involved in toy recalls. It’s softened with high levels of phthalates that are now banned from kids’ toys but are still allowed in erasers.”

Health Canada says on its website that phthalates are a family of chemicals commonly used as plasticizers and are added to vinyl plastic to make it soft and flexible.

Research shows that phthalates, which may leach out of the soft vinyl during mouthing or licking and migrate into the body through the saliva, adversely affect reproduction and development.

For kids allergic to natural rubber erasers, Staedtler (www. staedtler.com) makes erasers free of polyvinyl chloride and latex.

Specialty stores like Grassroots (in Toronto or online www.grassroots.com) carry recycled rubber erasers.

Vasil also advises looking for PVC-free backpacks. Many department stores carry inexpensive colourful nylon or polyester backpacks for kids, without vinyl bubble plastic decals.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The best words can come when we don’t have the energy it takes to intercept the creative flow with rational thoughts. We let our defenses down long enough to let great ideas flow. You start feeling this very flow while well rested.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): There will always be people who do not align with what your vision is. However, in order to make any gains, you have to be almost immune to their energy. Stay focused on what you have to give and forget the rest.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): We think that fun could not possibly be productive or even smart. But joy has a way of creating momentum and generating more of itself.

You’re being much too serious about a situation that’s actually supposed to be enjoyable.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You may feel that fate is on your side, but that does not absolve you of the effort that’s calling to you now. Be willing to work hard to make the most of all the great things presenting themselves to you now.

for whether it’s clothing or school supplies or whatever.”

Adria Vasil, author of “Ecoholic Body” (2012), notes that kids grow out of clothing quickly. “Consider weaving in some secondhand and pre-loved options to reduce your footprint and your bill at the end of the shopping day.”

Deacon said she’s “never embarrassed or ashamed to admit I buy all my kids’ clothes at Value Village. I have boys. They’re going to have holes in the knees no matter if I buy them brand new for $40 or second-hand for $3. I get as much as I can second-hand or hand-me-downs just because it’s just such a money saver.”

Vasil encourages parents to shop for refillable pens, highlighters and pencils and for items with high recyclable content.

“If you see something with 10 per cent recycled content, move on and look for one that’s got 80 to 100 per cent recycled content,” Vasil said, noting that major office supply stores now carry more recycled printer paper, notebooks, file folders, Post-its, mouse pads, paper clips, binders and clipboards.”

Laptop computers are more energy efficient than desktops. “Look for brands that have gotten more of a green light from environmentalists for being more eco-friendly companies,” Vasil said. Consult Greenpeace’s annual Guide to

The healing secrets of ethnic cuisine Rosemary: A top seasoning in Mediterranean cooking (the French roast it with almonds, the Italians add it to herb mixes), rosemaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s antioxidant capabilities make it a must for 21st-century grill masters.

Adding this herb to meat, fish and veggie marinades before grilling reduces flame-fueled cancercausing compounds called heterocyclic amines by up to 80 percent.

So, use spices to keep your body and brain younger â&#x20AC;&#x201D; after all, using your brain to imagine new flavor combos keeps your brain sharp.

MIKE ROIZEN & MEHMET OZ

Mehmet Oz, M.D. is host of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Dr. Oz Show,â&#x20AC;? and Mike Roizen, M.D. is Chief Medical Officer at the Cleveland Clinic Wellness Institute. For more information go to www.RealAge.com.

DRS. OZ AND ROIZEN in Indian cuisine, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hesitate to use it on veggies or sauteed chicken, or in salad dressing.

Cinnamon: In this tasty spice, a compound called hydroxychalcone makes receptors on your cells work better so your body absorbs blood sugar more easily. Getting ½ to 1 teaspoon a day, sprinkled on food, could lower blood sugar 10 points.

A favorite in German baked goods and Greek main dishes, like hearty moussaka, cinnamon is also delicious on oatmeal, in hot cocoa and sprinkled on fresh fruit, like apples and bananas.

Ginger: This popular flavor in Thai and Japanese cuisines may also cut your odds for inflammatory diseases like arthritis, as well as cancer and migraine headaches.

(Another good use: Eat some if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re prone to motion sickness or general nausea.) Try grated fresh ginger in salad dressing, and shake powdered ginger onto whole-grain muffins.

Garlic: Munching a clove a day could help lower your cholesterol by as much as 9 percent. Garlic contains tons of tangy compounds that may help protect against cancers of the breast, stomach, colon, esophagus and pancreas â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and soothe high blood pressure a bit, too.

Garlicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a favorite from Scandinavia to Spain and Korea. Use it to spice up veggies, fish and your next pot of brown rice. It seems to make everything taste better â&#x20AC;&#x201D; even try it on fruit.

West Nile virus cases are up 40 per cent since last week and may rival the record years of 2002 and 2003, federal health officials said Wednesday.

So far this year, 1,590 cases of the mosquitoborne disease have been reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and 66 deaths.

About half of the cases are serious illnesses, and the CDC considers those the best indicator of West Nile activity because many mild cases do not get reported and their symptoms may not even be recognized.

Typical symptoms are fever, headache and body aches, and most people get better on their own in a few days.

Less than 1 per cent develops neurological symptoms such as stiff necks and even coma and paralysis.

Based on reports of West Nile so far this year, â&#x20AC;&#x153;we think the numbers may come closeâ&#x20AC;? to those of 2002 and 2003, when nearly 3,000 severe illnesses and more than 260 deaths occurred each year, said the CDCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top expert on the disease, Dr. Lyle Petersen.

Health officials think that West Nile activity will peak in mid-to-late August, but likely will continue through October.

Because symptoms can take two weeks to appear, reporting cases lags behind when people became infected.

The disease first appeared in the United States in 1999.

Officials say this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s early spring and hot summer may have contributed to the current boom in cases. Mosquitoes get the virus from feeding on infected birds and then spread the virus to people they bite.

All states except Alaska and Hawaii have found West Nile virus in people, birds or mosquitoes this year.

Texas has been the hardest hit, accounting for half of the cases reported to the CDC so far. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not convinced that we have peaked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We may have plateaued,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. David Lakey, commissioner of the Texas Department

of State Health Services.

The CDC also says it does not expect Hurricane Isaac to have much of an impact on cases in

What do spicy Indian curry, zesty Italian pesto, refreshing Spanish gazpacho and Mexicoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chocolaterich mole sauce have in common?

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll all get your taste buds dancing.

But they do a lot more than that.

Tasty ethnic cuisine all-stars like these deliver a heap of phytonutrients that make you younger by avoiding cancer, heart disease, high blood sugar, dementia and more.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great reason to visit your cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s summertime ethnic street fairs and make liberal and creative use of the herbs and spices hiding in your kitchen cabinet.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t eat ethnic only sometimes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; sprinkle more of this good stuff on the foods you munch every day.

How? Think outside the box, like Dr. Mike does. He dusts steamed broccoli with cinnamon and spreads bright-yellow mustard (a great source of the superhealthy spice turmeric) on everything from celery to grilled salmon and whole-grain pasta!

You should go for this gold with all the gusto Michael Phelps brought to the Olympics!

Giving your spice rack a workout ranks up there with eating fruit and veggies as â&#x20AC;&#x153;brilliant.â&#x20AC;?

Take oregano. Prized in Italian and Greek cuisine, these tasty little leaves boast 30 times more polyphenols than potatoes, 12 times more than oranges and four times more than blueberries.

True, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d never munch a bunch of oregano thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as big as a potato, but even a pinch of this herb packs a wallop.

A tablespoon of fresh oreganoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got as much antioxidant power as a medium-size apple! And it outranks the antioxidant power of 27 other herbs that are used in cooking and botanical medicine.

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the lowdown on other herbs and spices that punch up the flavor of popular ethnic cuisines â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with ways you can use them to get healthier (and smarter) as you spice up whatever youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re cooking tonight.

Turmeric: The compound curcumin, found in the turmeric in yellow mustard (not so much in brown) and yellow curry powder has anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal properties.

It offers some protection from cancer, diabetes, arthritis and Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease. A premiere flavor

PORTLAND, Maine — A 10-yearold girl was charged Thursday with manslaughter in the death of an infant whose mother said had ingested medication and been suffocated.

The girl, who is not being identified, is the youngest person to be charged with manslaughter in Maine in at least 25 years. The infant, Brooklyn Foss-Greenaway, of Clinton in central Maine, had been left overnight with an adult baby sitter in nearby Fairfield.

The sitter called police early July 8 to report that the infant was not breathing, authorities said. Emergency workers who arrived minutes later reported that child was unresponsive.

The death of any child under age 3 triggers an automatic investigation in Maine, and detectives uncovered some “troubling signs” before the state medical examiner declared the death a homicide, said Stephen McCausland, spokesman for the Maine Department of Public Safety.

The death was declared a homicide Wednesday, but investigators withheld further details on the cause of death.

Brooklyn’s mother, Nicole “Nicki” Greenaway, of Clinton, said the 10-yearold was the sitter’s daughter. Authorities told her the baby had ingested medication to treat attention-deficit disorder and been suffocated, she said, adding that she also saw bruises on her daughter’s body.

“I feel a little bit of relief that they’re charging her daughter at this point, but the mom really needs to be responsible. She’s the one I left my daughter with,” Greenaway said.

The 10-year-old girl was already in the custody of the Maine Department of Health and Human Services when a summons was delivered to her attor-

ney on Thursday, McCausland said.

Police declined to identify the girl, who is due in juvenile court in October. Her attorney didn’t immediately return a call from The Associated Press.

Greenaway said that the 10-year-old had changed her baby’s diaper in the past, but that she had told the sitter an adult needed to be present at all times.

Instead, the infant, who was reportedly fussy that night, was sleeping in a portable crib in the same room as the 10-year-old, Greenaway said.

When Greenaway finally saw her daughter at a funeral home, the infant had a black eye, bruises on the bridge of her nose and marks that looked like fingerprints on her cheeks, she said.

McCausland said he couldn’t comment on whether charges could be brought against the sitter.

A person who answered the phone at a listing for her said Thursday evening that she was not available. The AP is not naming the sitter because it could make the juvenile suspect’s identity known.

The charge against the 10-year-old was filed after detectives consulted with the attorney general’s office, which determined manslaughter was most appropriate, said Brenda Kielty, a spokeswoman.

Unlike murder, which generally involves an intentional act, manslaughter charges are brought when a homicide is caused by reckless actions or criminal negligence.

The charge is extremely unusual because of the defendant’s age.

The state doesn’t have data on the youngest person ever to be charged in a homicide in Maine, Kielty said. But it’s been at least 25 years — and possibly longer — since someone so young has been charged with manslaughter or murder in the state, officials said.

Myanmar blacklist made public after names dropped THE ASSOCIATED PRESS YANGON, Myanmar — The names recently trimmed from Myanmar’s blacklist read like a who’s who of prominent diplomats, human rights campaigners and Asianbased journalists.

After announcing this week it had cut a third of the names off its 6,165-person blacklist, the government took another step toward openness Thursday by publishing the names of more than 1,000 foreigners stricken from the notorious list.

Among them are former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, the late singer, activist and politician Sonny Bono, and late Philippine President Corazon Aquino, whose name seems to be listed several times, including as “Madame Corazon C.A guino.”

Also cut from the list are the sons of pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi — Alexander Aris who lives in the United States and his London-based brother Kim Aris. Some people cited, including Kim Aris, had already been allowed back into the country, suggesting that their names were previ-

ously removed from the list. Aris has visited his mother a few times since her release from house arrest in 2010.

Myanmar’s former military regime used the blacklist to keep out critics and others deemed a threat to national security. It blocked selected foreigners from entering the country and also prohibited certain Burmese nationals from leaving.

It was not known until Thursday when the posting appeared that the list was officially called: “Black List.” It cited the names, passport numbers and nationalities of 1,147 foreigners removed from the list, including exiled Burmese citizens.

It is riddled with typos and includes vague references like No. 540 Nick and No. 899 Mohammed.

One name from past headlines was John William Yettaw, an American who was deported from Myanmar after swimming to Suu Kyi’s lakeside home in 2009 in a bizarre act that landed them both in prison.

Others stricken from the list include several Human Rights Watch campaigners and British activist James Mawdsley, who spent 14 months of solitary confinement in a Myanmar prison for tak-

ing part in pro-democracy protests in the late 1990s.

Several Associated Press reporters are among the many foreign correspondents removed from the blacklist, including longtime AP Bangkok bureau chief Denis Gray. The list also ends a longtime ban on Swedish author and journalist Bertil Lintner.

Diplomats removed from the list include former U.S. Charge d’Affaires Priscilla Clapp and British Ambassador to Myanmar Vicky Bowman, who married a Burmese painter and former political prisoner.

Prominent Burmese dissidents removed from the list include Aung Din, head of the Washington-based U.S. Campaign for Burma.

The trimming of the blacklist was the latest sign of change as Thein Sein’s government implements reforms after decades of harsh military rule.

The new government took office in March 2010 after the country’s first elections in 20 years. Until now, it has continued to update the blacklist as it sees fit. It is apparently keeping secret the names of some 4,000 people still on its blacklist.

Woman says Amish bishop forced sex on her and others THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CLEVELAND — An Amish bishop accused of orchestrating hair-cutting attacks in Ohio coerced women at his settlement into having sex with him so he could turn them into better wives, one of the women testified Thursday.

The woman said what started out as hugs turned into kisses and then sex.

She said she resisted at first.

“He would say things like ‘I can’t understand why you won’t obey me, the other ladies can,”’ the woman testified.

“I always gave up. I was afraid not to.”

Prosecutors say the alleged sexual “counselling” of married women shows the control Samuel Mullet Sr. had over followers at the Amish settlement he founded two decades ago. The 16 people accused of carrying out the hair-cutting attacks last fall all lived on Mullet’s settlement in eastern Ohio near the West Virginia panhandle.

The government contends that the hair cutting was motivated by a religious dispute between Mullet and other Amish bishops who had sought to limit his authority. Those accused of planning and taking part targeted the hair and beards of the Amish because of its spiritual significance in the faith, prosecutors said.

Mullet has denied any involvement.

His defence attorneys had tried be-

fore the trial began to bar any testimony about the alleged sexual “counselling.” They argued that there was no proof of such sexual conduct and that mentioning it would be highly prejudicial. U.S. District Court Judge Dan Aaron Polster told jurors after the woman took the stand that Mullet was not charged with any sex crimes and that they could only consider the testimony as it relates to charges in the indictment.

The woman said her husband had a mental breakdown in the summer of 2008 and was in the hospital when Mullet suggested that her husband’s trouble stemmed from dissatisfaction with his marriage. Mullet told her he wanted to help the couple with marriage counselling, and she agreed to his request to move in with him, she said.

At first, he wanted hugs, from her she said, adding that she learned he had asked the same of other women.

“Next we had to kiss him or maybe we had to sit on his lap,” she said. “I’m not sure what was first.”

Even asking for a hug was a startling request, she said, in a community that values modesty and is deeply religious. Amish women in the most conservative churches traditionally wear long dresses, bonnets over their hair and frown upon drawing attention to themselves.

This undated 2012 photo provided by Mandeep Kaur shows Sikh priest Punjab Singh, right, reading a holy book. Singh remains in a coma following an Aug. 5 shooting at a Wisconsin temple, his family told the Associated Press Thursday.

Seven people, including the gunman, were killed in the shooting rampage, and the three others who were wounded have been released from the hospital.

U.S. crash involving 100-year-old starts debate on driving age limit THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jack Wyard is 92 and sees no reason to surrender his car keys, not to mention the freedom they give him to get up and go anywhere he wants, whenever he wants.

After all, he said, two years ago he got a perfect score on his written test to renew his license. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what to suggest for anyone else, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still comfortable on the highway and I enjoy driving,â&#x20AC;? the retired sales manager from Los Angeles said Thursday.

A day earlier, a 100-year-old man who was attempting to back his Cadillac out of a grocery store parking lot struck and injured 14 people, 11 of them children. Three children remained hospitalized Thursday but were expected to recover, police said.

The accident in front of a South Los Angeles elementary school where children had lined up to buy after-school treats brought to the forefront again a debate over how old is too old to keep driving in a country where many people are heavily reliant on their cars.

Is it 80? Or 90? And should anyone past 100

be allowed behind the wheel?

With the American Automobile Association reporting that 10,000 Americans are turning 65 every day, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a debate that will only intensify in coming years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think there should be a set age because people age differently,â&#x20AC;? said Ruth Nadel, 98, who was in her mid80s when she decided it was time to hand over the keys to someone else.

After her vehicle was in a head-on collision, her children convinced her that, while she wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t to blame, her inability to get out of the way of an oncoming car indicated her reflexes might have slowed.

They told her it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worth risking another wreck and hurting herself or someone else.

She said she has no regrets, although she believes she could have driven for a few more years.

While there should be no age limit, the Washington, D.C., woman said, a driving test would be good.

She suggested 80 as a reasonable age for that, adding that a person could be retested every five years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as far as Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d go with it,â&#x20AC;? she added.

Indeed, many states do. California is one of 28 states that have special requirements for older people renewing driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s licenses.

While younger California drivers with good driving records may automatically be granted two five-year license renewals, anyone over 70 must come to a DMV office and take a written test and eye exam. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And if for any reason, the (DMV) employee might detect some kind of lack of ability or diminished ability to drive, they might ask them to take a physical driving test,â&#x20AC;? DMV spokesman Armando Botello said.

There is no upper age limit for driving a car in California.

The state doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t keep statistics on how many drivers are 100 or older.

However, at the end of last year, 71,111 people 90 or older were licensed to drive in the state.

The notion that older drivers are more likely to get in crashes is not borne out by the statistics.

On average, drivers in their mid- to late-80s have lower crash rates driven than those in their early 20s, said Jake Nelson, AAAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director of traffic safety advocacy and research.

OAK CREEK, Wis. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A Sikh priest has not regained consciousness since the shooting rampage at a Wisconsin temple earlier this month that wounded him and three others and left six victims dead, his family says.

In their first public comments since the Aug. 5 attack, Punjab Singhâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sons described how they rushed from India to be with their father after the shooting, and now spend most of their waking hours at the Milwaukee hospital where he remains in a coma. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard, but we are just trusting in God now,â&#x20AC;? his older son, Raghuvinder Singh, told The Associated Press in an exclusive interview Wednesday at the temple where the shooting happened.

Punjab Singh was critically wounded by a gunshot to the head and needs a machine to help him breathe. His son declined to discuss his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current condition, deferring to hospital officials to release information at the appropriate time. A hospital spokeswoman said she couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t immediately comment, citing confidentiality laws.

The elder Singh was wounded when a gunman opened fire at the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin in the Milwaukee suburb of Oak Creek. The motive of the gunman, who killed himself, is unknown.

Singh was in a bedroom at the temple that morning. When he heard gunfire he tried to barricade himself, but the gunman apparently forced the door open far enough to reach his handgun inside and shoot Singh once in the face as he hid behind the door.

The bullet caused facial fractures and damaged a major neck artery.

Raghuvinder Singh, 44, his mother and 29-year-old brother, Jaspreet Singh, heard about the shooting at their homes in India and rushed to be

by Punjab Singhâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s side. They arrived in the U.S. on Aug. 11, Punjab Singhâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 65th birthday.

The soft-spoken brothers perked up as they shared stories about their father, smiling as they described his deeply religious ways and passion for educating and clothing poor children in India. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was always sending us to buy books, uniforms and shoes for poor children,â&#x20AC;? Raghuvinder Singh said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Any money he made from preaching, he would spend on donations. He wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t interested in a bigger house for himself or a new car. He just wanted to help poor people.â&#x20AC;?

After he retired from the Indian army, Punjab Singh began preaching in India and also accepted speaking invitations from Sikh leaders in California, New York and New Jersey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was able to relate to people well,â&#x20AC;? family friend Mandeep Kaur said, explaining why Singhâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s services were in such demand. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was able to preach at a level normal people could understand.â&#x20AC;?

Singh was born to a family of farmers in 1947, four days before India gained its independence. He joined the Indian army, where he was both a track athlete and a religious teacher.

He fought in two wars and received a number of medals.

But his true love was preaching.

Friends said his messages were especially compelling because he led by example. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a preacher who actually practices what he preaches,â&#x20AC;? family friend Balbir Singh said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a man of his word, a very disciplined man, very structured.â&#x20AC;?

Punjab Singh had been to Milwaukee three previous times. His fourth trip was on Aug. 1, four days before the attack.

Singh doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have medical insurance. He might qualify for financial assistance through government programs or Wisconsinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Crime Victim Compensation Program, in which victims can receive up to $40,000 in federal funds.

His family and friends said theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re too focused on his health right now to worry about bills.

The three other people wounded in the rampage have all been released from the hospital.

Singhâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sons recalled their fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s constant willingness to help others, even if it meant putting himself at risk.

Raghuvinder Singh recalled an incident in which his father watched a boat capsize in a raging Indian river. He said his father quickly strung a rope over the rapids and pulled himself, hand over hand, until he reached the boat and turned it upright. Unfortunately, the boatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s occupants had already been swept down the river, the son said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He said, â&#x20AC;&#x2122;I tried my best. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what God wanted,â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Raghuvinder Singh said.

The mood of the sons turned sombre as they reflected on what their father has endured as a result of the shooting.

They spoke to the AP from inside the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin, just steps away from the bedroom where their father was shot.

The ideal candidate for this position will possess the following: Experience in the Production Testing industry Good communication skills Experience working with Microsoft ofÂżce Experience Dispatching large numbers of crews and equipment Must be able to multi task and meet deadlines Must be able to work in a team environment Willingness to relocate if necessary
