Alberta beef recall expanded

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

REDFORD DEFENDS ALBERTA BEEF

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency made dozens of additions on Sunday to its list of possibly contaminated beef products which came from an Alberta plant.

The CFIA has made the list of stores and products affected by the potential E.coli contam-

ination so long that consumers are now advised to inquire at the point of purchase whether the beef they’re buying came from XL Foods.

E.coli bacteria was first detected at the XL plant in Brooks on Sept. 4, but it wasn’t until three weeks later that the CFIA suspended the plant’s operating license until

measures are implemented to ensure its products are safe.

At a family ranch near Airdrie on Sunday, Alberta Premier Alison Redford and the province’s agriculture minister held meetings with local producers to discuss the potential effects of the plant’s closure.

Redford stood behind the

safety of Alberta meat.

“Our priority right now is to make sure people know Alberta beef is a safe product and a high-quality product, and to ensure that we get this plant open as soon as possible in compliance with CFIA regulations,” Redford told reporters.

Oil spill concerns ‘not adequately addressed’

BY LAURA TESTER ADVOCATE STAFF An oil company responsible for a leak on the Red Deer River needs to better communicate with landowners and give them appropriate compensation for damages, said area residents on Saturday.

A number of individuals who attended Plains Midstream Canada’s information session at James River Hall in Mountain View County say the company is not adequately addressing their concerns.

One person, who didn’t want to be named, said land agents representing Plains Midstream are even muzzling him from talking to the news media.

He had concerns that his compensation would be less if he spoke openly.

Residents had the chance to talk with various Plains Midstream staff in the hall which had been set up with

photo and information displays of what the company had done since the spill.

On June 7, up to 3,000 barrels (475,000 litres) of light sour crude oil was released into the Red Deer River from a Plains Midstream Canada rangeland pipeline about one km north of Sundre.

Wayne Johnston, a farmer who owns land five km downstream of the spill, said that Saturday’s information session was only meant to pacify residents.

Paddy Munro, a councillor with Mountain View County, said that someone from Plains Midstream needs to spell out exactly what the land access agreement price is going to be and how compensation for damages will be addressed.

“One of their (Plains) big flaws has been their inability to communicate with our residents,” said Munro.

Provincial arts funding cut Coyote prowling The Pines due to lower local support

BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF A coyote spotted more than once in the Pines neighbourhood recently has one resident keeping a close eye on his small dogs.

Glen English said one morning about two weeks ago, his schitzu and maltese were in the backyard barking at a coyote peering at the dogs through the fence.

“I’m afraid of the thing jumping the fence,” said English, whose backyard is near a wooded area and walking trail. “I go out with (the dogs) at night and keep them up near the house in

the daytime.” English said deer and moose have come into his yard to eat fruit, but he’s never seen a coyote in the neighbourhood.

To his knowledge, the coyote hasn’t killed any pets, but he worries that it might attack small children who use the walking trail.

“Anything getting that brazen could certainly be getting to the point where there’d be an attack.”

Chris Kelly, district Alberta Fish and Wildlife officer, said he’s never heard of any attacks on children in Red Deer.

This CDR tally is essentially based on what the organization does in terms of fundraising and ticket sales.

In 2010/11, the orchestra took in $387,400 and in 2011/12, the amount dropped to $368,926.

That’s a 13 per cent decrease in community-derived revenues.

As a result, the share of Alberta Foundation for the Arts was reduced for the symphony.

The Red Deer Symphony Orchestra hit a lower note in provincial funding due to fewer people in the seats, says Alberta Culture Minister Heather Klimchuk.

Klimchuk, who attended Alberta Culture Days in Lacombe on Saturday, provided rationale for why the 26-yearold orchestra experienced a decrease in government funding.

She said that the orchestra, along with other arts/cultural groups, receive funding through the Alberta Foundation For the Arts, based on the commu-

STORIES FROM PG A1

BEEF: Feds blamed Liberal MP Ralph Goodale has blamed the E.coli scare on changes to the meat inspection system introduced by the Harper Conservatives.

But federal Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz insists food safety hasn’t been compromised and says the government has more inspectors on the job than in previous years.

Redford acknowledged that people will want to know who did what, and when. But she said the most important thing is to restore confidence and reopen the XL facility.

“We stand behind our producers and we stand behind the product they produce. We certainly have a circumstance right now with respect to one company that is having challenges with respect to regulations,” Redford said.

“But there is Alberta beef that is being produced right across this province today that is safe to eat.”

While Alberta’s oil industry has typically commanded many headlines in recent years, the beef industry is still a massive economic driver.

Brooks Mayor Martin Shields has said the XL plant is one of the area’s largest employers, with more than 2,000 people working with the company.

The Canadian-owned XL plant has a slaughter capacity of about 5,000 cattle a day.

The Canadian Cattlemen’s Association said last week that while the plant’s closure will reduce the industry’s ability to slaughter and process live cattle, it shouldn’t have a significant effect on Canada’s beef industry, beyond a brief price increase.

But the rancher who hosted Redford and other producers on the front deck of his Airdrie home on Sunday offered a different opinion.

Wayne Hanson said the cattle system could back up quickly if it snows soon. He said that’s when farmers switch their efforts to moving cattle off pastures and into feedlots. It’s also when weaned calves come off the fields, he said.

He explained that if the feedlots are full, the prices for cattle will suffer.

“It’s a ripple effect right through the industry,” Hanson said.

Redford was to meet later Sunday with industry leaders in Calgary, as well as with the chair of the board of the Alberta Livestock and Meat Agency, an advisory body of the provincial government.

Meanwhile, Alberta Agriculture Minister Verlyn Olson said he had been speaking with his federal coun-

terpart, who thinks outstanding issues at the XL plant could be resolved shortly.

Olson also said some of Alberta’s labs are being used for food safety testing in the hopes of speeding up the process to reopen the plant.

Redford said because of the plant’s size, every day it’s closed makes a difference to Alberta.

“This is a plant that produces a significant amount of beef in this province and so it does make a big difference to producers,” Redford said.

SPILL: Info sought “It has just been terrible. They get themselves in so much trouble because people just hear rumours, no one talks to them. They need to get a handle on this and tell people what they’re going to do.”

Munro said some people are hearing they’ll get minimal payouts for damages done to their property.

“If that’s what it’s going to be, then say that,” he said. “But I believe (Plains Midstream) will come up with some kind of reasonable compensation package.”

The information session was not valuable for anyone trying to get solid answers, Munro said.

“People are just wandering around, eating little cookies and looking at pictures on the wall and I don’t believe there’s anyone there with the authority to actually say what the next steps will be,” he said.

Stephen Bart, vice-president of operations, spoke with Munro and a number of residents at Saturday’s session.

He said that discussions have been ongoing with area residents, in particular when there’s activities happening on their property and access is required, and when they can expect to have their land cleaned.

“This is really an opportunity to bring people together as part of that continuum of conversation that’s been going on,” said Bart.

Bart said some landowners told him on Saturday they appreciated the work that has been done by Plains Midstream. Other people are addressing their own specific concerns while others are wondering what kind of preventative plans are in place to ensure such a spill doesn’t happen again, he added.

Bart said he’s well aware of the range of emotions that people are feeling. He said he understands that people want to see their concerns addressed in a timely manner.

If people have suggestions on how communication could be improved, Bart said the company is open to that.

Some landowners have been told

A coyote has been spotted several times outside the fence causing English to place plywood against the fence to ensure the safety of his dogs. they’ll receive $1,500 for damages — a number they believe is far too low.

“We’re not suggesting a one-sizefits-all,” Bart said.

Dennis Overguard, a member of the Red Deer River Quality Control Board that would like to see a dam built west of Sundre to prevent major flooding, was given the chance by Plains Midstream to talk about the dam in front of about 20 people.

Towards the end, he threw in what he most wanted to talk about — the impact of oil spills on people’s ability to refinance their mortgages through the banks.

“It makes it so your land is virtually worthless. If you can’t use your land as collateral, you have nothing,” said Overguard. “I got mine straightened out now with another bank. I just put up another quarter section of land (as collateral).” ltester@reddeeradvocate.com

COYOTES: Common Coyotes are common in the city year-round with about 10 reported this summer, no more than usual.

“We’re blessed here with an incredible park system. But what that does bring is different species of wildlife.”

Coyotes are part of the urban ecosystem where they don’t have a natural predator, he said.

“They are scavengers and humans

are a pretty good host for them to live around.”

He said the province and other jurisdictions have tried to eradicate coyotes with bounties. History shows that doesn’t work.

“Eliminating coyotes isn’t an option.

In areas where they’ve had heavy population control, they have more pups that year. The best we can do is learn how to cohabitate with them.”

Alberta Fish and Wildlife does not trap coyotes in Red Deer. As in other Alberta cities, information on how to avoid encounters is provided when people have complaints.

“A lot of people don’t realize at this time of year every animal is trying to put on calories. They are getting ready for winter. So the best thing to do is don’t leave food sources out,” Kelly said.

He said residents shouldn’t leave cat or dog food outside and garbage should be stored in a garage, if possible. Coyotes have been known to climb up crab-apple trees and to eat berries.

People should also watch their cats and small dogs.

“Coyotes don’t know if it’s a poodle or rabbit — it’s prey.”

Don’t feed coyotes. It’s better keep them wild with a healthy fear of humans, Kelly said.

Plains Midstream winding down spill cleanup and restoration A company responsible for an oil spill on the Red Deer River is winding down its cleanup and restoration efforts.

Stephen Bart, vice-president of operations for Plains Midstream Canada, said the company broke the Red Deer River into 15 sections and met with regulators to determine what should be done in each section.

The company has been working through the summer to get those areas cleaned up after up to 3,000 barrels (475,000 litres) of light sour crude oil ended up in the river on June 7.

The oil came from a Plains Midstream pipeline about one km north of Sundre.

Bart said that it now has interim closure on those sections.

“So we’re really shifting from the cleanup and remediation phase to a more longer term monitoring phase,” said Bart.

The company has estimated it will spend upwards

of $53 million with cleanup and remediation activities. Bart said that monitoring involves various strategies.

One of them is a fish study to determine, what if any, impacts have resulted, Bart added.

Joe White bought his house in 2005 because he loves to fish. It’s located two km north of the spill.

“When I heard they said they had cleaned the river — I went for a walk and I came across oil,” said White, who showed Plains Midstream staff pictures at Saturday’s information session put on by Plains Midstream.

“It’s about a kilometre and a half downstream of the spill, so that’s why I came, was to show them and say, ‘what do you mean?’”

He fishes brown trout, bull trout and walleye.

“I don’t know if (the spill) has affected the system or not, but we’re keeping an eye right now because the bull trout are starting to spawn,” said White.

Bart said that daily activity will come to an end around early October, but there will be some monitoring in these various areas.

“In the spring, we’ll bring people back and regulatory people back and we’ll inspect each one of these

segments again,” said Bart.

Bart said that there could be some residual stains that some people might confuse for oil or a spill.

“In some cases, trying to deal with that stain or blemish, the cure is worse than the disease,” said Bart.

“So it’s better to leave the stain rather than remove it — and let it diminish over time. Let Mother Nature deal with it, than deal with it by mechanical or manual means.”

Ila and Wayne Johnston, who have land just downstream of the spill, are still waiting for cleanup on their land.

“We feel it’s not all been cleaned up because our land was under flood when it happened and they haven’t been onto the land,” said Ila. Wayne said that crews have cleaned up in the Sundre area where the spill occurred, but they left his area.

“They did a little cleanup but they didn’t finish the job,” he said. “There’s oil and crap on the trees — that you guys in Red Deer will be drinking next spring.” ltester@reddeeradvocate.com

Jane Bisbee tends the fire that is roasting a rabbit with vegetables, and a pot of moose stew. The Edmonton House Brigade and the Red Deer Native Friendship Society shared traditional food, games, music and activities at the Red Deer Museum as part of Red Deer Culture Days.

ARTS: Audiences counted In 2010/11, it received $1.17 million and in 2011/12, it acquired $1.15 million.

“We take into account the audiences that go watch those shows,” said Klimchuk. “The symphony had a 13 per cent decrease in their community-derived revenue, so for whatever reason, people weren’t going to the symphony and were making other choices.”

Klimchuk said the decrease in arts funding to the symphony has nothing to “do with us coming in and taking their money away.”

The Community-Derived Revenue is based on a three-year average, so groups are given the opportunity to get their revenues us, said Klimchuk.

“We fund projects like that all over Alberta and community-driven revenues are how we calculate all of that,” said Klimchuk.

Klimchuk also said the Community Spirit dollars have decreased because there’s more groups applying to the pot.

“I was very glad to see it maintained in last year’s amount,” she said.

The symphony reported it’s $50,000 in the hole because of a deeper-than-expected decrease in provincial funding. It’s been forced to cancel the Chamber Series and brainstorm for more cost-cutting ideas.

The biggest change came with the Alberta Foundation for the Arts grant, which was reduced by a third over the past three years — to $54,000 from a previous $87,000 in 2010-2011. A matching Community Spirit grant also yielded less.

However, the symphony has reported to the City of Red Deer that its programs and services are at capacity each season, so it regularly fills the 600-seat Red Deer College Arts Centre.

Seat sales are limited to the capacity of the Red Deer College maximum seating of 556. They are unable to expand the number of annual shows due to availability of the arts centre.

Klimchuk said she’s spoken with Mayor Morris Flewwelling, as well as Red Deer North MLA Mary Anne Jablonski and Red Deer South MLA Cal Dal-

las, about the symphony.

“I think it’s a fantastic organization and I’m hopeful that they can maybe re-evaluate and do some planning so they can find some support in the community,” said Klimchuk, regarding the need for sponsoring partners.

Klimchuk said she believes the “arts in Alberta are just humming” as is evident by what she’s seeing in places like Lacombe.

It was one of five Alberta communities that received $20,000 from the province to stage an arts and culture extravaganza on the weekend. Other communities were Fort McMurray, Calgary, Edmonton and High River.

Premier Alison Redford campaigned in the spring election that she would put $10 million back into the Alberta Foundation for the Arts.

“That’s something that I’m currently working on,” said Klimchuk. “I would be thrilled to put more money back into the AFA.” Flewwelling said earlier he hoped that performing spaces in the city can become more affordable to renters because a greater portion of their core costs would be supported by grants. That’s if the province boosts dollars to local arts organizations, he said.

“I think there’s lots of opportunities for groups to find space, share space and collaborate with that,” said Klimchuk. “In conversations I’ve had with the mayor about the symphony and all the other great arts groups, he knows my passion and commitment to the arts.”

Klimchuk said she’s also aware of the financially troubled Central Alberta Theatre which took on an expensive renovation of the Centre Stage downtown.

She understands that city council is looking for a three-year vision from the theatre.

“I’m waiting until they (the theatre) can file their report about their vision and the viability and whether they are going to stay in the space,” said Klimchuk. “You want theatre groups to survive, but you also want them to plan.” ltester@reddeeradvocate. com

A portion of Hwy 2 near the turnoff leading into Red Deer was shut down for more than five hours on Saturday due to a propane leak caused from a two-vehicle collision.

At about 1:30 p.m., Red Deer Emergency Services and the RCMP Integrated Traffic Unit responded to a serious collision just north of Gasoline Alley.

The collision, which had completely blocked the northbound lanes of the highway, occurred on a curve under the Gaetz Avenue overpass.

Police say two vehicles were negotiating a curve and collided.

A truck pulling industrial equipment on a trailer slammed into the guard rail.

The trailer separated and rolled while the truck went off the road and became partially submerged in a slough.

The driver of the second vehicle, a sport utility vehicle, lost control and rolled.

It slid on its roof for several metres.

The driver, who was wearing his seatbelt, was taken to hospital with minor injuries and later released.

The other driver was not injured.

Fire-medics arrived to find a propane leak from a mid-sized tank being transported on the damaged trailer.

The propane leak and subsequent clean-up forced the northbound lanes to be closed for more than five hours while traffic was diverted through Red Deer.

Police continue to investigate the possibility of mechanical failure as a contributing cause but say they have ruled out speed and alcohol as factors.

Put end to trailer court mess We should have no sympathy for Robert Bresciani, owner of the doomed Les’ Trailer Court west of Red Deer.

But we should be concerned about the fate of the people who live in his longtattered rural neighbourhood.

After addressing years of complaints about water RICK quality, sewer ZEMANEK drainage, safety compliances and other maintenance issues, the provincial government finally ordered him to make $2.5 million in upgrades to correct abhorrent safety issues.

Bresciani, calling the health laws “BS,” said he’s sick and tired of fighting the system. He has served eviction

INSIGHT

notices telling residents to vacate by Sept. 13, 2013.

Some tenants, meanwhile, are required to boil their drinking water, by order of the province.

Bresciani feels he’s been victimized

by Alberta Environment, leaving him little choice but to close the gates because he can’t afford the upgrades.

“I believe that the law is full of BS, unjust and unfair. I don’t want to fight it anymore. If it was 30 years ago I would have tried to do something.”

But it’s 2012 now, and health concerns should be taken very seriously.

Alberta Environment has put its foot down with good reason.

Bresciani says he “has been compelled to make the infrastructures of the trailer court like if the trailer court was going to be built today. This is too costly, we cannot afford it.”

In fact, no facility, regardless of age, is exempt from today’s rigid health standards. Les’ Trailer court should not be the exception.

In truth, Bresciani has refused to even submit regular water samples.

That’s hardly because it is too costly

(the province pays for the tests, he just has to collect the samples).

The real victims here are the tenants who pay their rent and rightfully expected proper sanitation.

Those to lose the most are residents on welfare. Many will be forced to walk away from their homes because other alternatives are out of financial reach.

And many units are too old to safely move.

“Some of them have been here for 20 years,” said site manager Mike Nelson.

“There is no place to go for (their) older homes. Most of these people, quite frankly, will end up leaving their home behind for a bulldozer because, quite frankly, they have no choice.”

There’s no excuse for this travesty to have dragged on. Action was long overdue.

“I’m pissed off,” said John Gillander, who has lived at the park since 1998 and recently bought a $104,000 mobile home after his original home burned down last year. “I’ve been here for so long,” said the 80-year-old. “I like it here. I’ve probably put in $50,000 into

this place.”

Gillander is one of the lucky ones.

His new home will be accepted in other mobile home parks in Central Alberta.

But Ryan Clouston, 32, having recently paid off his trailer after six years, isn’t so lucky. His is an older home that doesn’t meet the standards at newer mobile home parks. It’s destined for the bulldozer.

“I’m pretty upset,” said Clouston.

“I’m not sure what I am going to do.”

Bresciani charges $470 per month ($30 more if you’re late) per 72 units.

That amounts to close to $34,000 a month in income, or $406,000 a year.

Over five years, that’s more than $2 million, a great portion of which could have been used to repair substandard services at the site.

Bresciani allowed this mess to occur and should be required to compensate his tenants for their losses. He failed to provide basic services over the long term, and his inaction now means dozens of people will be forced to move.

Rick Zemanek is a former Advocate editor.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Traffic was moving just fine Recently, city council voted 5-4 to regress the lane lines on 40th Avenue from 52nd Street (down Michener Hill) and west on 55th Street to 48th Avenue.

As a professional driver, I have used that route, particularly at peak times, for 10 years. The week before last, on several occasions I drove the route and parked to observe traffic at specific times: 8:15 to 8:45 a.m., noon hour and 3:15 to 3:45 p.m.

I was pleased to see that traffic (vehicles, bicycles, pedestrians, skateboarders, roller bladers, scooters, etc.) was flowing better than ever. The main reasons? Single file vehicle traffic kept everyone “in line” and at proper speed (within the limits and appropriate for conditions). There were no speeders as in previous years and there was no unnecessary lane changing or cutting others off. In fact, most vehicles were maintaining a proper two-to-three-second following time/space.

In the after-school rush, it was all over in 20 minutes. The morning rush was the same. The only difference is positive: safer roads.

By the way, I have noticed a significant increase in the number of bicyclists on the roads. Progress!

Council, I think you got it wrong. Did any of the naysayers and petitioners gather evidence before taking a position?

Put bikes back on sidewalks Red Deer must have a few hundred kilometres of sidewalks which other than down town, are mostly empty.

When I was young, I was told by my parents “don’t ride on the street and stay on the sidewalk.” When did that become illegal?

It seems to me that we could have saved a lot of money if a yellow line was painted down the middle of a sidewalk that you are allowed to ride your bike on.

The city trail system has the yellow line concept so why not the sidewalks? If there is no yellow line on the sidewalk, you can’t ride your bike on that sidewalk. I think our children would be much safer riding on the sidewalk.

Fixing the childhood disconnect GET KIDS AWAY FROM THE SCREEN AND INTO THE GREEN TO STIMULATE THEIR CREATIVITY AND IMAGINATION Pushing our kids out the door may be the best way to save the planet.

In a survey conducted for the David Suzuki Foundation, 70 per cent of Canadian youth said they spend an hour or less a day in the open air. And when they are out, it’s usually to go from one place to another. In other words, it’s just a consequence of trying to be somewhere else.

Nearly half the young people surveyed said they don’t have enough time to join programs that would involve them in outdoor activities.

School, work and other responsibilities make it difficult DAVID to do things like kick around SUZUKI a soccer ball or go for a walk with friends in the nearby woods.

For someone of my generation this is almost unfathomable. When I was a kid, being outside was the norm. Rain or shine, our parents would tell us to get out of the house. All those hours exploring the great outdoors made me more resilient and confident.

As a teenager in London, Ont., my sanctuary was a swamp. I’d return home at the end of a day, often soaking wet and covered in mud, with my collection of insects, salamander eggs and turtles. That piqued

my interest in science. Making tree forts and lying in fields watching the clouds stimulated my imagination and creativity. Being outside made me a happy, healthy kid and made me feel connected to the world around me. As a father, I also encouraged my kids to enjoy time outdoors, and one of my favourite activities now is exploring nature with my grandchildren.

In just a few generations, life has changed dramatically for children. Now, they can’t seem to find the time to play outdoors.

They sit in front of screens for long periods of time. The gap between the time kids stay inside with electronic devices and the time they spend outside is widening. A U.S. survey by the Kaiser Family Foundation found young people are engaged with entertainment media for an average of seven and a half hours a day. Over seven days, that’s longer than the average workweek!

We can’t blame children for occupying themselves with Facebook rather than playing in the mud. Our society doesn’t put a priority on connecting with nature. In fact, too often we tell them it’s dirty and dangerous.

As parents, grandparents, uncles and aunts we need to start getting out into nature with the young people in our lives. Families play a key role in getting kids outside. The David Suzuki Foundation survey found that youth were 20 per cent more likely to take part in outdoor programming or explore nature on their own if they spent time outside from an early age.

Younger teens reported that getting outside with

their families was the best way to connect with nature. Older youth were more likely to explore nature spontaneously, on their own or with friends — likely because parents relax restrictions and allow them to do more of what they want.

And what they want is fun and adventure, at least when it comes to being outside. More than half the youth said they enjoy spending unstructured time in nature. They want to be outside in their neighbourhoods with their friends catching bugs, watching birds or riding bikes. This is great news.

What we need to do is encourage them — and sometimes just get out of their way.

We need to make sure our neighbourhoods have green spaces where people can explore their connections with nature. We need to ask teachers and school board representatives to take students outside regularly to incorporate the natural world into everything they learn. And we need to stop making the outdoors scary for children.

If we don’t, we’ll never raise the next generation of environmental stewards to help protect and celebrate the wonders of nature. After all, people are more likely to look after something they have come to know and cherish.

Parents need to remember all the fun times they had outside as kids. They need to trust their children, and kick them out the door like my Mom did.

Our survival may depend on it.

Regional waste organic processing facility proposed for Didsbury N-VIRO SYSTEMS CANADA LP AND TOWN SIGN LETTER OF INTENT

BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF

THE CANADIAN PRESS A company that turns organic waste into fertilizer wants to build a plant in Didsbury.

N-Viro Systems Canada LP and the town have signed a letter of intent to build a regional waste organic processing facility in the new Shantz Crossing Business Park.

The plant will be built, owned and operated by Toronto-based N-Viro and waste will be supplied by Didsbury and other Central Alberta communities to be converted into a nutrient-rich fertilizer product. “The project makes sense economically, and functionally as well, if it truly operates as a regional plant,� said N-Viro president Rob Sampson on Friday.

He expects to return to Central Alberta this fall to visit area communities and pitch them on the merits of sending

built five plants in Canada and others are slated for Banff and India.

The plants produce a product marketed as NRich, which can be used as an agriculture fertilizer or for land reclamation.

Almost all organic waste can be used in the process, which takes biosolids, de-waters them, mixes in an alkaline admixture and then dries the concoction.

What is created is a fertilizer that is much higher in nutrient value

than compost.

It’s an idea whose time has come, he said. “We need to get a lot more smarter on doing these things, harvesting and recovering nutrients from organic waste, because it just makes no sense to put it in landfills.�

Construction could start as early as next spring.

The plant would take about a year to build.

The cost of building the plant ranges from $10-$15 million, depend-

ing on the size of the plant and other local factors.

Didsbury Mayor Brian Wittal said in a statement announcing the letter of intent that the town is pleased to welcome N-Viro as its first green business in the business park. “We are also very keen to see the organic waste from the town converted into much-needed fertilizer for area farmers.� pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

EDMONTON — If Shari Clare noticed anything during five years as a private-sector environmental consultant in Alberta it was the “void between what regulations say and what happens on the ground.�

That void became the subject of her thesis, which is soon to be published in the journal Society and Natural Resources.

Two years of research at the University of Alberta gave her what she calls a scientifically credible analysis of “the subtle, hidden power that everyone in Alberta knows about but nobody talks about.�

Alberta Environment routinely and increasingly disregards its own guidelines on protecting and conserving wetlands, she concludes.

She uses 34 lengthy interviews with everyone from executive-level bureaucrats to industry representatives to describe a government culture where well-intentioned rules often come second to politics and dollars. “You need to have some strength and willingness on the regulator’s side to be able to say ‘no,’ � she quotes one government employee as saying. “I’m not sure that saying ’no’ is in the provincial vocabulary.�

Wetlands filter runoff, buffer floods and provide highly biodiverse habitat, so developers must get provincial approval before disturbing them. “Alberta Environment’s priority is to avoid having land development impact wetland area whenever possible,� provincial guidelines say.

If that’s not possible, the guidelines say, new wetlands as similar as possible to the originals should be created to compensate.

Any new marshes within 20 kilometres of the old ones are supposed to be three times as large as the originals.

If they are 20 to 80 kilometres away, the ratio increases on a sliding scale to a maximum of 10-to-1.

New wetlands further than 80 kilometres away are considered “exceptional circumstances� and are supposed to be negotiated case by case.

Clare found only 12 per cent of 504 approvals granted under the Water Act between 1999 and 2010 had restored wetlands within 20 kilometres.

Almost half the approvals — 49 per cent — were for compensation more than 80 kilometres away. In 2010, the average distance between a destroyed wetland and its replacement was 102 kilometres.

And the size of the replacement wetlands shrank. By 2010, the average ratio was 2.8-to-1 — less than the minimum — even as the distances grew.

Consideration for not disturbing the wet areas in the first place appeared to be rare.

Said one environmental consultant interviewed in the study: “I skip to (compensation) right away, just because I’ve never encountered somebody saying, ’No, don’t touch this wetland.�’ Clare’s paper suggests guidelines are being ignored because it would take too long to find replacement wetlands that fit the bill. “The lack of compensation sites was identified in interviews as being a major impediment to the ability of applicants to ’get on with their development,�’ she writes.

Ducks Unlimited is largely responsible for taking compensation payments, locating suitable sites, negotiating with landowners and doing the work.

their organic waste from sewage lagoons, treatment plants, green box programs or other sources to Didsbury.

There have already been some preliminary talks with Canmore.

Didsbury plans to divert organic waste from its wastewater system and household yard and food waste that is now being sent to Olds College for composting.

Communities will pay a processing fee based on contracted supply amounts and revenues will be shared between N-Viro and its municipal suppliers.

Sampson said the more municipalities that sign up the better. “It’s a business that’s heavily influenced by volume. “So the more who participate, the lower the net cost to them.�

Plenty of buy-in also means more product, which can be sold to meet what he believes is a strong market for the product.

Massive comeback DREW BREES

BREES TIES RECORD Drew Brees has thrown a touchdown pass in his 47th consecutive regular-season game, tying the NFL mark set

by Johnny Unitas. The New Orleans Saints quarterback found Marques Colston for a 20-yard touchdown with 3:33 left in the first quarter of Sunday’s game against the Green Bay Packers, allowing the Saints to tie the score. Packers fans, already sensitive about refereeing calls after Monday night’s replacement official debacle in Seattle, booed the regular officials after they thought Colston should have been flagged for offensive pass interference on the play.

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MEDINAH, Ill. — Erasing some of their worst Ryder Cup memories, the Europeans wore the image of Seve Ballesteros on their sleeves and played their hearts out Sunday at Medinah to match the greatest comeback in history and head home with that precious gold trophy.

Europe got its payback for Brookline, when the Americans roared back from the same 10-6 deficit. This rally was even more remarkable, carried out before a raucous American crowd that began their chants of “USA!” some three hours before the first match got under way.

Jose Maria Olazabal squeezed his eyes and fought back tears when Kaymer holed a 6-foot par putt to beat Steve Stricker and give Europe the point it needed to keep the cup. This was the first Ryder Cup since Ballesteros, the soul of European golf in this event, died last May of a brain tumour. Olazabal wanted his team to wear navy blue, Seve’s favouritecolour, and added a clever

bulging tricks again on the final day, winning the last two holes in his match against U.S. Open champion Webb Simpson.

And he had plenty of help. Europe’s top five players in the lineup all won, including Rory McIlroy, who was lucky to be playing.

McIlroy thought his match was at 12:25 p.m.

— it was listed in Eastern time, not Central — and needed a police escort to get to the course with 10 minutes to spare. Then, he came up with key birdies to hand Keegan Bradley his first loss of the week.

The biggest match might have belonged to Justin Rose. He was on the verge of losing to Phil Mickelson when Rose holed a 12-foot par putt to halve the 16th, made a 35-foot birdie putt from the back of the 17th green to win the hole, and then closed out Mickelson with a 12-foot birdie on the last hole.

Six of the 12 matches went to the 18th hole on Sunday. The Americans won only one of them.

touch — his iconic silhouette on the sleeves of their shirts.

“This one is for all of Europe,” Olazabal said. “Seve will always be present with this team. He was a big factor for this event for the European side, and last night when we were having that meeting, I think the boys understood that believing was the most important thing. And I think they did.”

Tiger Woods missed a 3 ½-foot par putt on the 18th hole, and then conceded a par to Francesco Molinari of about that length to halve their match. That extra half-point made it a clear-cut win for Europe, 14 ½-13 ½.

Woods and Stricker, the anchors in the lineup, didn’t win a single match at Medinah.

Ian Poulter was the first to embrace Olazabal, which was only fitting.

It was Poulter who gave Europe hope Saturday evening when he made five straight birdies to turn a loss into a win and swing momentum in Europe’s favour.

BY ADVOCATE STAFF Rebels 3 Hitmen 2 (OT) CALGARY — So long, King Kong.

The Red Deer Rebels finally posted their first Western Hockey League win on Saturday, slipping past the Calgary Hitmen 3-2 in overtime before 7,765 fans at the Saddledome and in the process ridding themselves of a rather cumbersome guest.

“It’s a huge monkey off our back, for sure” said Rebels head coach Jesse Wallin, whose squad was 0-6 in exhibition play and 0-3 to start the regular season. “I think (losing) was starting to become a weight on their (players’) shoulders, so to get that one out of the way is big.”

The Rebels got a sterling

39-save performance from Bolton Pouliot and two goals from Charles Inglis, including the overtime marker.

The game didn’t start well for the visitors as Brady Brassart and Cody Sylvester notched power-play goals to stake the Hitmen to a 2-0 first-period lead. The struggling Red Deer penalty kill was zero-for-two in the opening frame and is dead last in the 22-team league with a efficiency rate of 59 per cent.

“Really, it was just more of the same, just mental errors in our details,” said Wallin. “We let a puck go through the seam on the first goal and then just got beat one-on-one on the second goal. We let a guy walk right through two of our defencemen and in on goal.”

Undaunted, the Rebels ignit-

ed their comeback with a goal from Tyson Ness 2:49 into the second period.

“We responded well to our first-period mistakes,” said Wallin. “Rather than hang our heads, and it would have been an easy time to kind of let down, we refocused and picked ourselves up.

“I thought that in the second and third periods our compete level started to approach where it needs to be. We raised our compete level, started winning more battles and getting stronger on the puck. As a result we were able to create some opportunities for ourselves and dug our way back into the game.

It was a step in the right direction.”

Inglis knotted the contest at 2-2 at the three-minute mark of

the third period with a sharpangle shot that beat Hitmen netminder Chris Driedger, then connected on a power play at 2:31 of the extra frame, grabbing a loose puck in front of the net and rifling a shot over Driedger’s glove.

For Inglis, it was his second consecutive two-goal game after sniping a pair in Friday’s 5-4 loss to visiting Medicine Hat. His resurrection as a gunner coincided with last week’s acquisition of defenceman Brandon Underwood, the club’s fourth overage player.

Red Deer has until Oct. 10 to decide with three 20-year-olds to keep and Inglis is making a case for being one of the three.

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PHILADELPHIA — Given a second chance, Lawrence Tynes couldn’t make the Philadelphia Eagles pay for a tactical gamble that nearly backfired.

Tynes missed two field-goal tries from 54 yards with 15 seconds left and Philadelphia held on for a 19-17 victory over the New York Giants on Sunday night.

Tynes missed wide left on his first attempt, but the Eagles had called timeout to ice him. He was short on his second attempt.

“When you’re surrounding by 66,000 people that probably wanna rip your head off, yeah,” Eagles coach Andy Reid said when asked if he regretted the timeout.

With LeSean McCoy leading the way on the ground, Michael Vick guided Philadelphia (3-1) to another comeback.

Alex Henery kicked a 26-yard field goal with 1:49 left and the Eagles over-

came two pass interference penalties on New York’s final drive.

The defending Super Bowl champion Giants (2-2) have struggled against Philadelphia, losing eight of the last nine meetings.

McCoy had 121 of his 123 yards rushing in the second half.

The All-Pro had six carries for 2 yards at halftime.

“It’s just the Giants and Eagles, this is what it comes down to,” McCoy said.

“Eventually our running game would crack it and that’s what we did.”

Vick threw TD passes in the final two minutes in consecutive 1-point wins over Cleveland and Baltimore the first two weeks before a 26-7 loss at Arizona.

After Eli Manning tossed a go-ahead 6-yard TD pass Bear Pascoe, Vick drove the Eagles to the Giants two yard line before Osi Umenyiora sacked him for a 6-yard loss on third down.

Henery then hit his fourth field goal to put the Eagles ahead to stay.

Henery also connected from 48, 35 and 20 yards.

Atlanta rallies to stay unbeaten and the Cardinals moved downfield to score.

The winning field goal came after Tannehill was hit by Paris Lenon as he threw and Kerry Rhodes came up with an interception.

Tannehill threw for 431 yards. Brian Hartline set a Dolphins record with 253 yards receiving on 12 catches.

49ERS 34, JETS 0 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Carlos Rogers returned a fumble 51 yards for a touchdown, and San Francisco ran for more than 200 yards.

Frank Gore, Kendall Hunter and backup quarterback Colin Kaepernick — on a wildcat-style option — all ran for scores as the 49ers (3-1) bounced back from a loss at Minnesota. Rather than head back to the West Coast, coach Jim Harbaugh chose to have his team stay in eastern Ohio — and it apparently helped.

The Jets (2-2) lost top wide receiver Santonio Holmes to what appeared to be a serious foot injury. It was the first time New York was shut out since losing 9-0 to Green Bay in 2010, and the Jets’ biggest shutout home loss since falling 37-0 to Buffalo in 1989.

BRONCOS 37, RAIDERS 6 DENVER (AP) — Peyton Manning finished with 338 yards and three touchdown passes.

Manning opened the game by leading the Broncos on an 80-yard touchdown drive — their first opening-quarter touchdown of the season — and Denver never trailed.

The Broncos (2-2) beat the Raiders (1-3) at home for the first time since 2007.

Willis McGahee ran for 112 yards for his 32nd-career 100-yard game.

The Broncos held Darren McFadden to 34 yards on 13 carries and Carson Palmer, who led Oakland to a comeback win last week over Pittsburgh, never got on track. He finished 19 for 34 for 202 yards.

NFL ROUNDUP

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS FALCONS 30 PANTHERS 28 ATLANTA — Matt Bryant kicked a 40-yard field goal with 5 seconds remaining and the Atlanta Falcons remained unbeaten, rallying past the Carolina Panthers 30-28 on Sunday.

The Falcons (4-0) are off to their best start since 2004, when they reached the NFC championship game. Despite taking a career-high seven sacks, Matt Ryan threw three touchdown passes for Atlanta. Bryant added three field goals.

The Panthers (1-3) nearly clinched it on Cam Newton’s run with just over a minute remaining, but he fumbled the ball while trying to dive for the necessary yardage. Carolina recovered and wound up punting, downing the ball at the Atlanta 1. But Ryan immediately got the Falcons out of the hole, throwing a 59-yard pass to Roddy White.

Four plays later, Bryant won it.

TEXANS 38, TITANS 14 HOUSTON — Danieal Manning and Kareem Jackson returned intercep-

tions for touchdowns and Matt Schaub threw two TD passes.

Arian Foster had a touchdown run for the Texans (4-0), who are off to the best start in club history.

Titans quarterback Jake Locker left in the first quarter and did not return after hurting his left, non-throwing shoulder on a hit by Glover Quin.

Matt Hasselbeck threw two touchdown passes in relief of Locker for the Titans (1-3). Chris Johnson carried 25 times for 141 yards, more than tripling his rushing total through the first three games.

CARDINALS 24, DOLPHINS 21, OT GLENDALE, Ariz. — Jay Feely kicked a 46-yard field goal 6:31 into overtime to keep Arizona unbeaten.

The Cardinals (4-0) forced overtime when Kevin Kolb threw a 15-yard touchdown pass on fourth down to Andre Roberts with 22 seconds to play in regulation.

Two big defensive plays set up the final two Arizona scores. First, Daryl Washington sacked rookie Ryan Tannehill, whose fumble was recovered

by Vonnie Holliday at the Arizona 49

VIKINGS 20, LIONS 13 DETROIT (AP) — Percy Harvin returned the opening kickoff 105 yards for a touchdown and Marcus Sherels scored on a punt return early in the third for Minnesota.

Minnesota (3-1), in first place in the NFC North, matched the number of wins it had last season. The Vikings also snapped an 11-game losing streak in the division.

The Lions (1-3) have lost three straight.

They are the first team since at least 1940 to give up a kickoff and a punt return for TDs in consecutive games, according to STATS LLC. They gave up scores on a kickoff and punt in last week’s 44-41 loss in overtime at Tennessee.

RAMS 19, SEAHAWKS 13 ST. LOUIS (AP) — Rookie Greg Zuerlein kicked four field goals, including a 58-yarder and a club record 60-yarder, and the Rams also used a fake field goal to score their only TD of the game.

The Rams 2-2) went ahead 10-7 late in the first half when a fake field goal attempt turned into a 2-yard touchdown pass from punter Johnny Hekker to Danny Amendola.

The Seahawks (2-2) lost six days after beating Green Bay when a botched call by replacement officials on the final play gave them the winning touchdown. Regular officials were back this weekend.

Marshawn Lynch led Seattle with 118 yards on 20 carries, including an 18-yard score on the game’s first possession.

The Rams intercepted Russell Wilson three times, with Bradley Fletcher clinching it with a pick at the Rams 25 with a minute to go.

NHL and PA continue talks AVOID ECONOMIC ISSUES IN THIRD STRAIGHT DAY OF MEETINGS

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — The NHL and the players’ association met for a third straight day Sunday, and again avoided the troublesome money issues that are fueling the ongoing lockout.

“We did not discuss core economic issues, as was the plan,” NHLPA special counsel Steve Fehr said after meeting for five hours with the NHL. “We discussed health and safety, drug testing, including more discussion of drug testing, medical care etc. Also a number of things in the CBA legal area of player movements.”

The drug policy was a key component of talks Friday when the sides got together for the first time since the NHL imposed the lockout on Sept. 16.

On Saturday, the sides focused on clarifications of definitions of what makes up hockey-related revenue — a pot that exceeded $3 billion.

“It was a productive day. We made some progress in some areas,” Fehr said Sunday. “I would say it’s good that we were talking. It’s true that we could’ve done this last week or a week before or a week before that, but it’s a lot better than doing it three weeks from now.”

Because of difficulty in finding common ground on how to split up that money, the league and union instead concentrated all weekend on secondary issues that will also be included in any new agreement.

“I hate to sound like a broken record, but we need some movement on the economic issues. We need some movement on the system issues,” NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly said.

“We need them to be scheduled as the subject of a meeting, and right now the union is not prepared to do that.”

Negotiations on Sunday were conducted at the league office without NHLPA Executive Director Donald Fehr and NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman.

They met privately Friday and Saturday, away from the other group negotiations.

“I think that may demonstrate more than anything else the nature of the issues we’re talking about,” Daly said about the absences of Bettman and Donald Fehr.

“We’re really talking about kind of micro issues, issues we deal with on a day-to-day basis that don’t necessarily rise to the commissioner’s level or the executive director’s level.

“So they will be at the table when we’re talking about the issues that are really going to get this deal done or not.”

There was a thought that talks might continue Monday, but that doesn’t seem likely as the NHL wants to meet internally with its clubs before getting back together with the players’ association.

“We covered a lot of things over the last three days,” Daly said. “We both have a lot of homework projects to do and drafts we owe each other on certain things. We think (Monday) would be best used for that purpose.

“What we did today, and the last two days, I don’t think any of that is going to get a deal done. But they are all necessary elements of the deal.”

There is no timetable for talks to resume, but Tuesday is a possibility.

The entire preseason slate of games was cancelled by the NHL on Thursday, and regular-season games — scheduled to begin Oct. 11 — could soon be called off, too.

The NHL cancelled the entire 2004-05 season because of a lockout that eventually led to the collective bargaining agreement that expired this month.

By working on secondary agreements now, the sides are ahead of where they were back in 2005 when a deal was finally finished.

“All the stuff we’ve done the last three days were things we did after we had resolved the economic issues, and this one is not playing out that way,” Daly said.

“We’ll have to see how it plays out.”

Brady led New England on six consecutive second-half touchdown drives.

Brady finished 22 of 36 for 340 yards and three scores, and also scored on a 4-yard run in helping the Patriots (2-2) avoid their first three-game losing streak in 10 years. Stevan Ridley scored two touchdowns rushing. New England scored 35 straight points and finished with 580 total yards in overcoming a 21-7 third-quarter deficit.

The Patriots forced six turnovers, including four interceptions of Ryan Fitzpatrick passes, and three sacks.

Fitzpatrick finished 22 of 39 for 350 yards and four touchdowns, including two to tight end Scott Chandler.

The Bills (2-2) dropped to 1-17 in their last 18 games against New England.

CHARGERS 37, CHIEFS 20 KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Philip Rivers threw for 209 yards and two touchdowns, and San Diego capitalized on six turnovers.

Five of the Chiefs’ turnovers came in the first half, when San Diego (3-1) raced to a 27-6 lead.

Matt Cassel threw for 251 yards and two touchdowns for Kansas City (1-3), but he also had three first-half interceptions. Jamaal Charles, who followed his big game last week at New Orleans with touchdowns rushing and receiving, fumbled twice.

PACKERS 28, SAINTS 27 GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Aaron Rodgers threw a go-ahead touchdown to Jordy Nelson in the fourth quarter, and Green Bay shook off a week’s worth of controversy with a rally.

With Packers fans howling about what appeared to be yet another bad call — this time by the regular officials, not the replacements — Garrett Hartley missed a 48-yard field goal attempt with just under three minutes remaining, costing the Saints a shot at the lead.

Rodgers threw for 319 yards with four touchdowns and an interception for the Packers (2-2).

Drew Brees threw for 446 yards with three touchdowns for the winless Saints (0-4). Brees has thrown at least one touchdown in 47 straight regularseason games, tying the NFL’s all-time mark set by Johnny Unitas.

REDSKINS 24, BUCCANEERS 22 TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Billy Cundiff redeemed himself for a poor day kicking, booting a 41-yard field goal with 3 seconds remaining.

Cundiff missed three earlier attempts, including a 31-yarder that wound have put the Redskins (2-2) up by two scores early in the fourth quarter. He also missed twice in the first half, but was on the money after Robert Griffin III marched his team into position for the winning score.

Tampa Bay (1-3) wiped out an 18-point deficit to go ahead 22-21 on Connor Barth’s third field goal, a 47-yarder with 1:42 remaining.

BENGALS 27, JAGUARS 10 JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Andy Dalton threw two touchdown passes and ran for a score.

Dalton and A.J. Green burned Jacksonville several times, including once to set up a second-quarter touchdown and again for a fourth-quarter score.

The Bengals (3-1) finished with six sacks, putting constant pressure on Blaine Gabbert and overcoming all those defensive injuries. Cincinnati played without starting cornerbacks Nate Clements and Leon Hall as well as backups Jason Allen and Dre Kirkpatrick.

The Jaguars (1-3) failed to take advantage.

Gabbert completed 23 of 34 passes for 186 yards, with a touchdown and an interception. Dalton completed 20 of 31 passes for 244 yards.

Reed taking back Eskimos offence

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — Edmonton Eskimos head coach Kavis Reed is adding to his responsibilities.

The Eskimos announced Sunday that Reed will assume the offensive co-ordinator’s duties from Marcus Crandell, who’ll now be the CFL club’s quarterbacks coach.

Reed will handle the play-calling duties when Edmonton hosts the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Friday night.

“I’m going to be far more instrumental in game planning,” said Reed in a statement. “We have the ability to do somethings a little bit differently that will allow us to have more explosive plays.”

The coaching shuffle comes after Edmonton dropped a 39-15 decision to the Calgary Stampeders on Friday night.

Edmonton (5-8) has lost five straight games to fall to last in the West Division standings, four points behind the third-place Saskatchewan Roughriders (7-6).

The Eskimos entered weekend action ranked seventh in the eight-team CFL in scoring (21.5 points per game) and passing (252.5 yards) and last in total offence (315.2 yards).

Edmonton’s offence took a major hit in December when GM Eric Tillman dealt veteran quarterback Ricky Ray to the Toronto Argonauts for veteran Steven Jyles, kicker Grant Shaw and a 2012 first-round draft pick.

Ray missed Toronto’s 29-10 road win over Winnipeg on Saturday with a knee injury but has thrown for 3,371 yards for the Argos (7-6).

Jyles is Edmonton’s passing leader with 1,756 yards but neither he nor veteran backup Kerry Joseph played against Calgary as both have leg injuries.

That left Matt Nichols to make the start and he finished 14-of-26 passing for 167 yards with a touchdown and an interception while also running for a TD.

RDC soccer teams get victories over Lakeland

BY DANNY RODE ADVOCATE STAFF Kings 2 Rustlers 1 When Stefan Dugas arrived at the RDC Kings camp in August he never dreamed he’d end up playing in goal.

“I came hoping to make the team as a striker,” he said. “But I realized we didn’t have any keepers so I stepped up and took the role.”

It’s turned out just fine as the Ontario native has posted a 3-1-2 record, including a 2-1 victory over the Lakeland College Rustlers in Alberta Colleges Men’s Soccer League play at RDC Saturday.

The win completed a sweep for RDC as the Queens registered a 7-0 victory.

Dugas, who has a 1.67 goals-againstaverage, had played some goal, but only on a part time basis.

“Here and there when I was with teams and the keeper wasn’t there,” he explained. “But really I didn’t know the technique and didn’t understand the role of the keeper. I’ve learned a lot and I’m still learning.

“I was definitely nervous the first couple of games, but I’m becoming more comfortable as I know where my net is. I also know where my teammates are and I’m as comfortable with them as they are with me. I know when something breaks down someone will be there to fix it.”

Kings head coach Steve Fullarton has been pleased with Dugas.

“Stefan was expected to be a backup and he’s done well for us,” he said.

“There have been some scary moments, but he keeps the ball out of the net.”

Dugas is making his second trip to RDC. He played two years ago as a centre midfielder.

“But I left halfway through the season to return to Ontario to train as a paramedic,” he explained. “But I decided to return and change courses, but I didn’t play.”

The Kings trailed the Rustlers 1-0 at the half on a goal by Omar Amador.

Nolan Hamilton and Dillon Lehman connected for RDC in the second half and they shut the door late when Lakeland put on some pressure.

“Again we go down a goal on a soft decision, but the players had to motivation to get back into it,” said Fullarton. “Overall we dominated the game and deserved to win, although we were

holding on a bit at the end.”

Still the RDC defenders, led by Logan Grenier and Andrew Jevne, were solid.

‘Logan and Andrew were outstanding, in fact our four defenders were tremendous, along with the keeper,” said Fullarton.

Queens 7 Rustlers 0 The Queens ran their record to 4-0-2 and keeper Jesse Stewart recorded her fifth shutout and lowered her goalsagainst-average to 0.33.

“It’s team defence,” said Queens head coach Dave Colley. “For the most part we don’t let the opposition get to her, but when they do she’s there to stop them. She’s just a cog in our machine. Everyone piece of that machine but if they aren’t working together it doesn’t work.”

The Queens started a bit slow, but led 2-0 at the half, then dominated the final 45 minutes.

“The lassies held it together and then started playing our game and kept their shape. It was a complete game after the first 10-15 minutes We need to settle down a bit quicker, but we’re getting there.

“We’re starting to communicate better and we’re passing it around, keeping our positions and using our support players. We do have one to many passes at times, but you can see the progression from the SAIT game to Medicine Hat to Lethbridge and today.”

The Queens, who are second in the league, behind Medicine Hat, have four games remaining.

“We want to continue to progress and peak for the playoffs,” added Colley, who used three players off the bench.

“And the nice thing was we didn’t miss a beat,” he said.

Paula Dadensky scored a hat trick for the second straight game and has 10 goals on the season. Claire Wallace and Kayla Keenan added two goals each.

RDC’s next action is on the road as they visit SAIT Oct. 13 and Olds Oct. 14.

In other action, Olds College lost all four games.

The women lost 3-0 to Medicine Hat and 2-1 to Lethbridge while the men lost 2-1 to Medicine Hat and 4-3 to Lethbridge. drode@reddeeradvocate.com

Yankees get big win over Jays TORONTO — The New York Yankees took advantage of a shaky Toronto bullpen and moved closer to locking up a playoff spot by coming back to defeat the Blue Jays 9-6 at Rogers Centre on Sunday.

Toronto (70-89) had a four-run lead after five innings but New York chipped away and pulled even in the seventh.

The Yankees added two more runs in the eighth inning and put the game away with two runs in the ninth.

Reliever Boone Logan (7-2) got two outs for the win as New York (9267) used a 15-hit attack to salvage a split of the four-game series.

Rafael Soriano allowed a run in the ninth before getting Adam Lind on a grounder to end it.

Eduardo Nunez

knocked in the go-ahead run with a sacrifice fly and Derek Jeter followed with an RBI single as New York’s magic number to lock up a post-season berth was trimmed to one.

The Yankees re-

mained tied with Baltimore atop the American League East standings after the Orioles beat Boston 6-3.

THE CANADIAN PRESS

The Americans also rallied from a four-point deficit to win in 1999 at Brookline. This was different, though.

The Americans won big in those early matches. At Medinah, so many of them could have gone either way.

It was so close, so tense, that either side could have won the Ryder Cup down to the very end.

Stricker made an 8-foot par putt on the 18th, and Kaymer faced a par putt from 6 feet to win the match. If he missed, the Americans would get a half-point, and Woods was leading 1-up over Molinari and in the middle of the 18th fairway.

Kaymer, a former No. 1 and major champion who has struggled all year, poured it in the middle and the celebration was on.

He could barely speak at this point, not so much from pure emotion but having to scream over the crowd behind him.

Players were hugging and crying, and the small European contingent that had been drowned out all week was serenading themselves with what has become the theme song of the Ryder Cup. “Ole, ole, ole, ole,” they sang merrily, even as the teams prepared for the closing ceremony.

Europe now has won seven of the last nine Ryder Cups, and even more remarkable about this comeback is that they did it on the road.

Davis Love III became the first U.S. captain to sit every player at least once before Sunday, wanting them to be fresh for the decisive day. Instead, the Americans faltered at the end — especially Jim Furyk and Stricker, two of his captain’s picks.

“The plan worked the first two days,” he said. “It just didn’t work today.”

The only U.S. points came from Dustin Johnson, who went 3-0 in this Ryder Cup, Zach Johnson and unheralded Jason Dufner.

“We’re all kind of stunned,” Love said. “We know what it feels like now from the ’99 Ryder Cup. It’s a little bit shocking. We were playing so well, we figured it didn’t matter how we sent them out there. We got a couple of matches flipped there in the middle that cost us.”

Love thought all along the Ryder Cup would be decided in the ninth match by Dufner. It was most appropriate that Europe won the cup thanks to Kaymer.

Kaymer gave German golf some redemption from Kiawah Island in 1991, when countryman Bernhard Langer missed a par putt from about the same length that allowed the Americans to win.

“It’s a feeling I never had before,” Kaymer said. “On Friday, I sat down with Bernhard and talked a little bit about the Ryder Cup because my attitude was not the right one. But now I know how important the Ryder Cup is.”

It means everything to Europe, and it showed.

They didn’t have a home crowd to rally them, relying instead on the silence.

“Last time it was done, it was the American team in America,” Lee Westwood said after closing out Matt Kuchar in 16 holes. “This would be against all odds. This would be the greatest comeback in the Ryder Cup — ever.”

And it was a collapse the Americans won’t soon forget. Just 24 hours earlier, they had a 10-4 lead with two team matches still on the course — they were ahead in one of them, while Woods and Stricker were closing in on the other. It’s hard to believe they would only win 3 ½ points the rest of the way.

REBELS: Picked up his play “He’s doing now what’s expected of him,” said Wallin. “I thought he had a very sub-par preseason and this (20-year-old situation) has woken him up. He recognizes that there’s not room for four (overage) guys and in the last two games he’s certainly picked up his play and he’s making a charge to try and stay here. That’s what we need him to do. He’s a guy we brought in here to provide offence and he has to do that for us.”

Hitmen head coach Mike Williamson didn’t like his club’s effort, coming just 24 hours following a 4-1 win over the Oil Kings at Edmonton.

“Friday night we played great and stuck to our systems,” Williamson told the Calgary Sun. “Tonight, from our goaltender out, we didn’t look as focused or prepared. It sure looked like Red Deer wanted that hockey game a lot more than we did.” ● The Rebels directed 26 shots at Driedger . . .

NFL: Interference A pass interference penalty on Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie kept the Giants’ last drive alive and put the ball at the Eagles 35 after Manning threw an incomplete pass on fourthand-1. Another pass interference call on Nnamdi Asomugha on third-and-10 moved it to the Eagles 27.

Then Ramses Barden got called for offensive pass interference to move it back to the 36.

After an incomplete pass, the Giants sent out Tynes to try for the winning kick on third-and-18 because they didn’t have any timeouts remaining.

“I don’t believe in icing the kicker.

Let him step up there and do what he does,” Vick said.

Vick was 19 of 30 for 241 yards and the turnover-prone Eagles protected the ball. The Eagles led the NFL with 12 turnovers through three games, but didn’t commit any.

Manning completed 24 of 42 passes for 309 yards, two TDs and one crucial interception.

He threw a pick in the end zone after a 30-yard pass to Victor Cruz on fourth-and-1 got the Giants to Philadelphia’s 10 on the final play of the third quarter.

Rodgers-Cromartie intercepted Manning’s underthrown pass into triple-coverage and returned it 14 yards to the Eagles 9. The Eagles slowly moved the ball on the ground to set up Henery’s 35-yarder that made it 16-10.

Manning redeemed himself on New York’s next possession. He completed passes of 31 yards to Barden and 41 yards to Domenik Hixon. He then found Pascoe wide open over the middle for a 17-16 lead with 6:45 left.

McCoy finally broke loose by running for 56 yards on consecutive carries in the third. He was stopped at the 1 on a 22-yard gain, and then couldn’t get in on three straight carries. The Eagles settled for a 20-yard field goal

by Henery that made it 10-3.

“The O-line found themselves as the game wore on,” Reid said. “They were able to block well enough to where McCoy had big yards.”

The Giants answered after David Wilson ran the kickoff back 45 yards to the 43.

Mixing run and pass effectively, the Giants moved to the 14. On third-and-3, Manning threw a TD pass to Cruz, who celebrated with his trademark salsa dance in the stadium where it all started. Cruz burst on the scene with a breakout performance in a 29-16 win at Philadelphia last September.

MIDGET AAA

Rebels 3 Royals 0 Matt Zentner’s return to the Red Deer Optimist Rebels was exactly what the team needed.

He automatically gave them a presence in goal and one who know knows a thing or two about winning a national championship.

Zentner was backup to Dasan Sydora last season, but saw his share of action, including two starts in the Telus Cup. “I got a chance to play two games and we tied and won and it was a lot of fun,” said Zentner following the Rebels 3-0 win over the Calgary Royals in their Alberta Midget Hockey League home opener at the Arena Sunday afternoon.

“It was nice to be able to come in and chip in. I didn’t get a lot of playing time, but I was happy that Doug (head coach Doug Quinn) gave me an opportunity.”

Zentner was one of three members of this year’s Rebels who celebrated last year’s championship season prior to Sunday’s game. The banner was already up, but a number of players were on hand as a video showed their run to the Cup. “It was pretty cool to see and good to see a lot of guys back,” said Zentner. “The video was great and the banner looks good.”

The video also brought back a number of fond memories for Quinn. “It was an exciting time

and brought back some emotions I was feeling when we won. It was good to see the kids back so they could be part of it.

That was a special group and I was happy to share that with them.”

Zentner feels the new players also got a lot out of the ceremony.

“I believe it helps and it shows the expectations of the older guys and coaches as we want to win it again.”

There was a time when Zentner wasn’t sure he would be back with the team.

“I attended Whitecourt’s camp. They’re a new team in the AJHL (Alberta Junior Hockey League) and I was hoping to stay as I was playing well., But they had a netminder come back and they sent me home and I’m happy to be here.”

He’ll get a lot of playing time, which will only help him down the road.

“I hope so,” he said. “I’ve been playing well and this weekend the team played well.”

The Rebels opened on the road Saturday with a 1-1 tie against the Calgary Buffaloes before returning home Sunday.

The six-foot-one Zentner is carrying on from last season.

“I didn’t start well last year as I had a new goalie coach (Peter Friestadt) and we didn’t exactly see things the same, but I began to embrace what Pete wants and it’s working well.”

RDC ATHLETICS The RDC Kings finished 2-2 at the Rumble in the Rockies volleyball tournament in Cranbrook during the weekend.

The Kings lost to Thompson River University of Kamloops 25-19, 25-17, 21-25, 18-25, 8-15 and the University of Calgary Dinos 2125, 24-26, 18-25 while beating the College of the Rockies from Cranbrook twice — 25-20, 20-25, 28-26, 25-21 Saturday and 23-25, 28-26, 23-25, 25-15, 15-11 Sunday.

“The universities are a little bit ahead of us at this time, but we played them tough, even the U of C as we battled them for twoand-a-half sets before they pulled away,” said Kings head coach Aaron Schulha. “I saw a lot of good things against both universities and while the matches against the College of the Rockies weren’t as intense, the second one was good in that they pushed us to five sets and we had to stay in it to win.”

The Kings will host their annual Challenge Cup Friday and Saturday. ● The RDC Queens beat Warner Hockey Academy 4-1 Saturday and tied them 2-2 Sunday in exhibition women’s hockey action.

Laura Salomons, Ang Hodgson, Gillian Altheim and Jade Petrie scored Saturday.

The Queens will be in action Saturday as they host SAIT at 5:30 p.m. at the Arena in an exhibition contest. ● The RDC Queens dropped both games in the women’s side of the CIS/ACAC Showcase tournament in Edmonton Saturday —

Friday

● High school football: Hunting Hills at Lacombe, 4 p.m.; Stettler at Sylvan Lake, 4 p.m. ● College men’s volleyball: Ramada Inns Challenge Cup, 4:30 p.m. start, Red Deer College. ● Rodeo: Foothills Association Finals, 7 p.m., Westerner Stockmens Pavilion. ● AJHL: Canmore at Olds, 7:30 p.m.

Hot Water Pressure Washers... that use 25% less fuel How Kärcher’s proprietary heating technology achieves fuel savings of 25%...and more!

1 Extra-Efficient Heating Chamber: Kärcher’s efficient burner shoots the flame downward onto a firebrick floor, which deflects the heat back up into the chamber for double-pass heating.

The brick both retains the heat as well as deflects it evenly back up, around and through the coil tubing for added heat transfer efficiency.

2 Double-Pass Coil: Kärcher Classic pressure washers have a double-pass heating coil - a coil within a coil - that forces the water to flow twice through the heating chamber for double exposure to the flame and heat, so the heat goes into the water and not out the exhaust vent, as with other designs.

3

Pre-Heated Air As Insulation: Kärcher uses outside air as an insulation blanket. Air is drawn into the heating chamber passing through an outer wall, thus creating a thermal insulation barrier while, at the same time, pre-heating the air for better fuel efficiency.

Potential Annual Fuel Savings: Standard Models vs Kärcher Classic* Operating Fuel consumption tests conducted on hot water pressure washers with 4 GPM @ 2000 PSI *Tests were conducted on comparable size pressure washers of four standard machines with either horizontal or updraft vertical burners.

The “fuel used” column below reflects the average consumption of the standard hot water pressure washers tested vs. the Kärcher Classic Model.

Validating Fuel Efficiency: Standard Models vs Kärcher Classic Cooler exhaust vent air means it’s more fuel efficient.

You can determine fuel efficiency by the exhaust vent temperature One way to identify a fuel efficient hot water pressure washer is to measure the heat coming out of the exhaust vent. An efficient burner system will transfer the majority of the heat into the coil and water, not out the exhaust vent. Simply measure the air temperature at the mouth of the exhaust vent to determine the difference.

For instance, our tests showed the average exhaust temperature for the standard models was 732°F (388°C) vs. 389°F (198°C) for the Kärcher Classic.

• Pressure Washers • Air Compressors • Samson Lube Equip.

• Pumps of all kinds • Agriculture • Industrial • Automotive • Residential

*Always use a temperature gauge to test the exhaust vent temperature. Never test the temperature with your hand or other exposed part of the body.

Keselowski makes late push to win at Dover NASCAR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DOVER, Del. — Brad Keselowski had fuel to spare for a couple of victory burnouts.

Those few splashes of gas left down the stretch were just enough for a checkered flag — and a sign Keselowski is a championship favourite.

With other contenders battling fuel woes and limping toward pit road, Keselowski had enough gas in the No. 2 Dodge to win Sunday at Dover International Speedway for his second victory in three weeks.

Keselowksi’s stout start to the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship allowed him to swipe the points lead from Jimmie Johnson.

Keselowski holds a five-point lead over Johnson as the Chase shifts to Talladega Superspeedway. Keselowski, who won the Chase opener at Chicagoland, has deftly avoided the famed Big Ones that strike the Alabama track to win twice there in seven career starts.

He held off a late push from runner-up Jeff Gordon to match Denny Hamlin for the season victory lead with five.

“I can’t state loudly enough how much longer this battle is,” Keselowski said.

Keselowski, Johnson and Hamlin have staked their claim through the first three of 10 Chase races as the drivers to beat.

Johnson and Hamlin each led a chunk of laps on the mile concrete oval, but failed to stretch their fuel to the end.

Johnson, who has seven career wins at Dover, was ordered to back off the gas and salvaged a fourth-place finish. Hamlin pitted with 10 laps left, opening the door for Keselowski, and denying him his first win at the Monster Mile. Hamlin faded to eighth after starting from the pole.

“They’re not going to beat us on the track, that’s just plain and simple,” Hamlin said.

“We’re just too fast right now and I feel like everything is going well. These strategy games, and the way these cautions are falling, it’s ill-timed.”

There was a caution at the end of a cycle of green-flag pit stops only 69 laps into the race that quickly dropped drivers a lap back. Amazingly, most of the field couldn’t ever get that lap back, and only six drivers finished on the lead lap.

Non-Chase drivers Mark Martin finished third and Carl Edwards was fifth. Kyle Busch led a race-high 302 laps until his own battles with the pump cost him what would have been a nice victory in a season where he failed to make the Chase. He finished seventh.

There were some rough finishes for the rest of the Chase field.

Martin Truex Jr. was sixth, Clint Bowyer was ninth, Dale Earnhardt Jr. 11th, Kevin Harvick 13th, Kasey Kahne 15th, Greg Biffle 16th, Tony Stewart 20th, and Matt Kenseth was knocked out of the race and was 35th.

There are seven races left in the Chase.

“By no means, do I feel like we’re the favourite,” Keselowski said.

“Certainly, we’re not the underdog.”

Nope, not with a complete team effort turning the No. 2 Dodge into a regular contender to win. Keselowski joked he had about another “100 miles” of racing left in his tank.

While crew chief Paul Wolfe didn’t want to reveal too much of his fuel-saving strategy, he conceded the car was “within a lap or two” or running on fumes. Keselowski raced the last 89 laps without a stop.

“There’s always some risk in calls like that,” Wolfe said. “We know where we stand. We know what we need to do.”

Oilers youth taking lockout in stride NUGENT-HOPKINS AND EBERLE PART OF YOUNG OILERS STARTING SEASON IN AHL in Oklahoma City, arriving Friday night, and he says he can already tell the winning attitude the team and the city have.

Eberle had 76 points (34 goals, 42 assists) last season with Edmonton. Eberle has earned a reputation for being a scorer but doesn’t want to be known as a one-dimensional player.

“I’ve always been known as an offensive guy,” he said.

“That’s not bad or anything, but I want to be known as a complete player.

“I get a chance to work on some things here. I’m going to work on my defence and penalty kill. With the lockout, this is the next best option here in North America. They made it to the conference final last season, and we want to continue that success. The winning attitude is great and something we want to take back with us to Edmonton.

I’m going to enjoy this experience.”

While Eberle will work on overall improvement, his new teammates can’t wait to see what he can produce offensively.

“He can score goals, no doubt about that,” defenceman Colten Teubert said. “He’s going to contribute a lot of points and be exciting to watch. And for somebody his size, he is very strong with the puck.

“With Nuge (Nugent-Hopkins), he’s an unbelievable playmaker. He’s going to do things here that are going to make the people here in Oklahoma City say, ‘Wow.’ He is that special of a talent.”

Barons coach Todd Nelson wasted no time getting down to business Sunday. There was no feeling-out process, instead, it was right to work on systems and schemes.

Nelson knew before the start of camp that Nugent-Hopkins

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OKLAHOMA CITY — This certainly wasn’t how centre Ryan Nugent-Hopkins envisioned starting the 2012-’13 hockey season.

But with plenty of uncertainty surrounding the NHL lockout, the sophomore forward is doing what he can to make the best of a bad situation.

Nugent-Hopkins was one of many Oilers youngsters in attendance Sunday at the opening of training camp for the Oklahoma City Barons, Edmonton’s American Hockey League affiliate.

“It’s good with everything that’s going on to still get a chance to play and stay in shape,” Nugent-Hopkins said.

“There are some things I want to work on.

“A big thing for me is I want to be a two-way centre. I take a lot of pride in my defence, and that’s something I’m definitely going to be focused on.”

Nugent-Hopkins was among the NHL’s top rookies last season, registering 52 points (18 goals, 34 assists) in 62 games.

The former No. 1 overall selection did so despite missing 20 games with a shoulder injury.

Nugent-Hopkins sees his opportunity in Oklahoma City as a blessing in disguise, just as he does last season’s injury.

“That first year I wanted to learn as much as I possibly could,” he said. “It was a great learning experience.

“There were some positives from the injury. Watching the game from upstairs, I was able to see it from a different perspective, and I believe it will help me moving forward.”

Moving forward is also what right-winger Jordan Eberle is concentrating on right now.

Eberle hasn’t spent much time

Starting the season in the AHL certainly wasn’t how Nugent-Hopkins envisioned the 2012-’13 hockey season. But with plenty of uncertainty surrounding the NHL lockout, the sophomore forward is doing what he can to make the best of a bad situation. and Eberle would be in attendance but realized quickly Sunday he’ll have something special for however long the NHL lockout continues.

“Those are some highly skilled guys,” Nelson said.

“They’ve been impact players in the NHL. “Obviously when they get

here what that’s going to do is raise the level of play for the rest of the guys. Right now they’re out here working hard and having fun. It was a real good first day.”

The Barons will practise all week before playing two exhibition games against the Houston Aeros on Friday and Saturday.

Popularity for French immersion schooling rose an average of six per cent annually since 2005 in Central Alberta, says Canadian Parents for French.

The Alberta branch released a report recently showing how the province has had 12 consecutive years of growth in French immersion. It also provided information on Central Alberta, showing a clear upward trend in enrolments.

The average yearly increase was 6.3 per cent from 2004-2005 to 2011-2012 for the school divisions of Red Deer Public, Red Deer Catholic, Chinook’s Edge, Wolf Creek and Wild Rose.

Red Deer Public had 868 students in French programming and by 2011-2012, that number rose to 1,040.

Red Deer Catholic Regional Schools has also seen a steady rise. It stood at 928 students for 2011-2012, compared with 540 in 2004-2005.

Chinook’s Edge School Division had 448 students enrolled in French immersion for 2011-2012, while in 2004-2005, that number stood at 116.

Wolf Creek School Division’s numbers for the 2011-2012 school year stood at 406 while in 2004-2005, there were 277 students.

Survivors appreciate their lives more deeply

BY LAURA TESTER ADVOCATE STAFF Having breast cancer gave Barb Dreichel and Janet Johnston a new zeal for life.

The survivors who participated in Sunday’s 12th annual CIBC Run for the Cure in Red Deer say they learned to have a deeper appreciation for their life.

Dreichel of Pigeon Lake learned she had cancer in 2011 after an annual mammogram revealed a lump in her right breast.

“You’re devastated for a while,” said Dreichel, 58. “You can sit home and feel sorry for yourself — or you can put a smile on your face and continue on. And that’s what I did.”

Dreichel underwent two lumpectomies, chemotherapy and radiation and will be taking drug treatments over the next several years. She said she appreciates life more, and doesn’t take things so seriously.

“And you realize what wonderful friends you have,” said Dreichel, who underwent treatment in Camrose. “It hasn’t been as devastating an experience as I thought it would be.”

Dreichel was joined by 14 friends who named themselves “Barb’s Beavy of Beauties.”

Debbie Bailer of Pigeon Lake said most of the women have known each other since elementary school. No one else in the group has been diagnosed with cancer, but they’ve all been touched by it in some way, said the nurse.

“It’s so important that we have local cancer clinics so that people don’t have to drive to the big, big centres.”

Johnston, 59, of Red Deer, has a similar story about the kind of support she’s received.

About 20 of her friends and family became the JUGG’S team. This is Johnston’s 12th year of being cancer free.

“You enjoy every day of your life because you never know what can happen,”

and was offered in 47 communities across the province.

Alberta branch president Christine Whitney, of Springbank, said that between 2009 and 2011, the number of French school boards rose to 25 from eight. A total of 1,000 students were enrolled in 2011, compared to 500 two years previously.

“A lot more people are seeing the benefits of French as a second language,” said Whitney.

Among the benefits are cultural and cognitive, she added.

Popularity for francophone schooling is rising, too.

Ecole La Prairie, a K-12 school in Red Deer that is getting a new larger school, saw its student numbers rise to 126 this fall from 122 in September 2011.

“We have a large kindergarten with 23 students, a slight increase from last year,” said principal Jean Doyon.

Ecole La Prairie is part of the Greater North Central Francophone School Board, which has most of its schools in Edmonton.

Doyon said the general increases in enrolment are due to new families coming to the province, as well as some families bringing their children back to a francophone environment when they may have been in French immersion.

Francophone students generally have at least one parent whose first language is French, Doyon said. ltester@reddeeradvocate.com

more fluctuations — for 2011-2012, the number stood at 216, but in 2004-2005, the number stood at 189.

The greatest number was 258 in 2008-09 school year.

The more recent decline is due to the cutback of subjects in French at the high school in Rocky Mountain House, says the Canadian Parents for French Alberta chapter.

Chinook’s Edge’s larger growth is due to three newer programs where the students are still moving up through the grades.

The public French immersion program in Innisfail rose to 97 for 2011-2012 — steadily rising from seven years ago, when there were 32 students.

“The loss of the tiny Catholic program in Innisfail will not affect these regional trends — even if all 21 projected K-5 Catholic students went to English, that’s not significant,” reports the Alberta chapter.

“And some of them might have transferred this year to the public immersion program in Innisfail.”

For 2011-2012, Alberta experienced the largest enrolment since the secondlanguage program was first offered in this province in the early 1970s. Some 37,000 students in kindergarten to Grade 12 were enrolled in French immersion in 2011-2012, an increase of almost four per cent over the previous year.

Last year, the program involved six per cent of the total Alberta school population

Max Andruik, 1, along with mom Megan, participated in the 12 annual breast cancer fundraising run. Red Deer was awash in pink as hundreds of people participated in CIBC’s ‘Run for the Cure’, a national fundraiser for the Breast Cancer Foundation. Monies raised will go toward supporting research and community health grants towards breast cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment and care. said Johnston, a grandmother of five.

“This is something that I wasn’t expected to have.

“My family has no history of breast cancer and one day I found a lump.”

Johnston said she’s been “surviving” ever since, and even at diagnosis, she planned her daughter’s wedding.

The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation’s event ran at Lindsay Thurber Comprehensive High School.

Since 2001, the Red Deer event, which is a one or five-km walk or run, has collected almost $2 million for the foundation.

The Red Deer run attracted 1,235 participants — up by about 300 from last year.

Donations as of Sunday totalled $256,636, also ahead of last year’s tally on run day.

Health Services orders savings Alberta Health Services has ordered its departments to find $185 million in savings to reallocate the money to provide better health care.

Chris Mazurkewich, AHS executive vice president and chief operating officer, said savings can be found by reducing duplication and inefficiencies.

Departments have been asked to find one to 1.8 per cent in savings this year.

The booth included everything from bubble gum to teddy bears.

“It seems like we’re seeing survivors more and more,” she said.

“It seems like every time I talk to somebody, they have someone who has been newly diagnosed and is just going through the process.”

Since 2001, the Red Deer Run, which is a one or five-km walk or run, has collected almost $2 million for the Breast Cancer Foundation.

This is the foundation’s largest singleday, volunteer-led event in Canada.

Red Deer’s record was in 2010 when $318,000 was raised.

“This is the fourth year we’ve been doing this. It’s a continual process I’m sure we’ll have the next few years as well. It’s just part of being a healthy organization,” said Mazurkewich this week.

It’s a good exercise to continue to look at how to improve the system, he said.

“It’s an ongoing challenge and we’re a large organization and we certainly have opportunities to do that.

“It’s very important that we do that and respect the taxpayers contribution to health care, at the same to make best efforts to meet access needs and quality needs of the patients that we serve.”

Woman appointed to wisdom council One Central Albertan was appointed by Alberta Health Services to the new 19-member Aboriginal Wisdom Council.

Luci Johnson, of Maskwacis (Hobbema) First Nation, was appointed to a two-year term.

She has served as the Maskwacis Justice Society’s community court-worker for the last 12 years.

The Aboriginal Wisdom Council has been established to provide guidance and recommendations to AHS on service delivery, program design and evaluation for province-wide culturally appropriate aboriginal health services.

Council members represent a cross-section of aboriginal society across Alberta and include physicians, dentists, nursing professionals, traditional healers, elders, a former RCMP officer, business people and a former Edmonton Eskimos football player.

The council joins 12 health advisory councils and two provincial advisory councils, which already provide feedback on the health care system.

A new look at the numbers STATSCAN TO SEND CANADIANS BACK IN TIME

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Statistics Canada is about to retell the country’s economic history for the past 30 years in a new move that will also provide more insight into murky economic concepts.

Starting today, the federal data agency will issue a comprehensive revision to economic data of the past 30 years, introducing new measures and changing the definition of others.

The exercise — two years in the making and designed to comply with revised international standards of economic measurements set out in 2008 — will put Canada in the forefront of nations, along with Australia, in adopting the new way of measuring

economic performance.

Others have pledged to follow; the United States in 2013 and Europe in 2014.

It’s a big deal, say economists, but it won’t change the way Canadians feel about their economic place in the space at present, or in the past.

Some gross domestic product numbers will likely move marginally up, in part because research and development will be capitalized and some services will be added to the export tally.

But in broad terms, Statistics Canada is not rewriting the past — the new data will still dutifully record the slumps of the early 80s and 90s, the growth spurts that followed, and the great recession of 2008-09 and tepid recovery since.

“There’s no real change in the economic

history of Canada,” says Jim Tebrake, Statistics Canada’s director of the income and expenditure accounts division.

“There are changes from quarter to quarter, but nothing of significance.

The business cycle is still the business cycle.”

The value of the exercise, says Paul Jacobson, a Toronto-based consulting economist who has followed the process closely, is to give economic policy-makers and analysts a more precise picture of the ebb and flow of economic movements.

But it will take some getting used to.

CIBC chief economist Avery Shenfeld has compared it to the transition from Fahrenheit to Celsius.

Shell confident in offshore program ANCHORAGE, Alaska — The stars lined up — almost — for Shell Oil to drill exploratory wells this year in waters off Alaska’s north coast. The Arctic Ocean was on record pace for low sea ice. The Obama administration gave a qualified green light to drilling. Two drill ships and a flotilla of support vessels were staged off prospects. But as the roughly four-month open water season wound down, Shell announced last week it would limit drilling to “top-hole” work, the shallow but timeconsuming preparation for an offshore well.

The final straw for the decision: damage during testing Sept.

15 to an undersea containment dome, part of a spill response system that Shell put in place to reassure federal regulators that Arctic offshore drilling could be done safely.

Environmentalists cheered the setback.

Shell Oil President Marvin Odum says he considers it a temporary impediment in the long-term quest to open a petroleum frontier.

“I think you can hear the enthusiasm in my voice, both for what’s been accomplished this year and what we will do moving into 2013,” he said after the decision.

Fuel cell technology for ships HALIFAX — The federal government has issued a tender calling for the design of low-emission Canadian Coast Guard ships that would incorporate hydrogen fuel cell technology.

The three offshore fisheries science vessels are intended to replace four aging coast guard ships and would be stationed on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. They are part of the fleet under Ottawa’s $33-billion national shipbuilding procurement.

The tender said the government plans to spend about $332,000 to look into integrating hydrogen fuel cell technology into the new ships, which would be constructed at the Seaspan Marine Corp. shipyard in Vancouver.

Demonstrators march during a rally holding a banner which reads,”no to the austerity, yes to the the social Europe”, to protest against the austerity measures announced by the French government, in Paris, Sunday.

Thousands march against austerity

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PARIS — Thousands of demonstrators marched peacefully Sunday in Paris to denounce austerity measures in Europe that have sparked violent protests in other EU countries struggling to avert fiscal crises.

The march, organized largely by the Left Front party and the Communists, comes before the French parliament’s debate this week on a European fiscal treaty.

Organizers put turnout at more than 80,000; Paris police declined to provide an estimate.

The protest exposed politi-

cal pressures faced by President Francois Hollande — whose popularity has been sinking in recent polls — and notably from some ostensible allies of the left.

It was the biggest demonstration of its kind since Hollande was elected in the spring, just weeks before his Socialists won control of the National Assembly.

The treaty would set up the European Stability Mechanism bailout fund that European leaders hope will help calm a debt crisis that threatens the eurozone and the global economy.

The main conservative opposition party and most Socialist lawmakers back the treaty.

But it has splintered the French left: Far-left parties, the Greens and some dissident Socialists oppose it.

The measure is nonetheless likely to pass in parliament because the two biggest parties generally favour it.

On Friday, the French government presented a budget that included high taxes on the wealthiest, but which critics say lacks fundamental reforms that could jumpstart economic growth.

Austerity has fanned recent violence in places like Spain and Greece.

Latest round of jobs data likely to dominate stock market focus

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Traders have shown that even during challenging economic times there’s still a little room for optimism, but their sentiment will be tested again this week with the latest jobs numbers in both the U.S. and Canada.

The status of jobs market in both Canada and the U.S. in September will be the main focus of the week, even though the data isn’t due until Friday.

It’ll provide the latest picture of where the economy is headed.

“Particularly with the U.S. data, it has been mixed all year,” said Sadiq Adatia, chief investment officer at Sun Life Global Investments.

“We want to continue to see some economic news that tells us

things are improving and not necessarily slowing down.”

In the U.S., consensus expectations are for 111,000 jobs added for the month, driven in part by more hires in manufacturing and construction.

Economists expect the unemployment rate to rise 0.1 per cent to 8.2 per cent.

“Job growth through the balance of 2012 is likely to remain lacklustre, and we do not anticipate the September report to be an exception to that,” said a research report by RBC Capital Markets.

The Canadian economy could also deliver another month of surprisingly strong growth, if job hires continue to outdo the overall economy like they have in recent months.

The consensus call is for an

addition of 15,000 jobs and the unemployment rate is expected to remain steady at 7.3 per cent.

“Monthly job creation has averaged 27,000 over the past halfyear, hardly indicative of an economy under pressure from risks to growth globally or waning domestic demand,” wrote CIBC World Markets economist Emanuella Enenajor in a note.

“But a reckoning may be around the corner, with hiring set to track a slower tempo in the months ahead.”

Those signs of a slowdown could become a greater concern for the Canadian economy, which has been under close watch by economists worried about a slowdown.

OTTAWA, Ont. — The Canada Revenue Agency has uncovered millions of dollars worth of missing taxes by doing a simple credit check that the banks have been using for years.

The project found almost $3 million of GST revenue that had been collected from customers by new businesses but was never handed over to Ottawa, or was fraudulently refunded to them.

The money turned up after 439 firms were targeted by running their tax-registration information through a commercial credit-screening service from Equifax Canada Ltd. Banks and other financial institutions have for years vetted potential customers applying for mortgages, loans and credit cards through commercial creditchecking services.

But the Canada Revenue Agency had not been doing so with companies newly registering as collectors of GST/HST taxes — some of which simply kept the money.

The agency’s pilot project was launched in 2010, as part of a wider effort to flush out some of estimated $35 billion that remains untaxed in the underground economy.

The so-called Interactive Warning System project, or IWS, focused on missing GST/HST revenue and was slated to run for two years. But the results were encouraging enough that it was ended in 2011 after just 12 months. Internal documents outlining the project were obtained by The Canadian Press under the Access to Information Act. “The project was considered a success,” said agency spokesman Philippe Brideau.

“The procedures and approaches tested provided us with risk indicators that are part of the regular procedures.”

Brideau says the agency is “currently exploring follow-up use of IWS products for GST/HST compliance.”

Documents show the agency eventually wants to catch income-tax cheats and people improperly receiving government benefits by using credit checks.

Sustainable investing growing TALBOT BOGGS

MONEYWISE

As a strategy, sustainable investing has been around for years. But as concern about environmental and ethical issues increases, investors increasingly are seeking out organizations and investment opportunities that benefit the environment and contribute to the social good.

According to the Canadian Social Investment Organization (SIO), the value of “impact” investing as-

sets in Canada has increased significantly over the last couple of years and now sits at about $4.5 billion.

Sustainable investing is a strategy that allows investors to invest in companies that have sustainable business models that benefit the environment, contribute to the social good and display strong corporate governance, while also providing solid financial results.

“Canadians continue to grow increasingly aware of environmental issues and many are placing an emphasis on environmental considerations when investing,” said Serge Pepin, vice president, investment strategy with BMO Global Asset Management.

Impact investing is nothing new.

STORIES FROM PG C3

MARKET: Decline in crude hits TSE The commoditiesheavy Toronto Stock Exchange has been impacted by a decline in crude oil prices, which has resulted in a gain of a mere three per cent since the start of the year, while the Dow Jones Industrials have added a far more impressive 10 per cent increase.

“You’re going to see points in time when things look good and things won’t look as strong,” Adatia said.

“I think that’s what we’re going to have to get used to over the next year or so.”

Canada’s dollar has been on the rise, up 3.4 per cent in the third quarter ended last Friday, and isn’t likely to slow down any time soon.

“The combination of steady growth, Canada’s strong sovereign position and a hawkish Bank of Canada tone amid widespread and ongoing accommodation from the world’s largest central banks should drive further gains,” said Scotiabank chief currency strategist Camilla Sutton.

Also on the calendar for next week are Canadian industrial prices on Monday and building permits on Friday.

Mitt Romney’s plan to cut income tax rates across the board, including for the wealthiest households, as a return to trickle-down economics.

Slow-growing US economy is flashing conflicting signals about its health THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Anyone puzzled by the most recent U.S. economic data has reason for feeling so: The numbers sketch a sometimes contradictory picture of the economy.

We’ve learned that: Consumers are more confident but aren’t spending much. Fewer people are losing jobs, but not many are being hired.

Home and stock prices are up, but workers’ pay is trailing inflation.

Auto sales have jumped, but manufacturing is faltering.

This is what an economy stuck in a slowgrowth rut can look like, and it’s a focal point of the presidential campaign.

The U.S. economy grew at a scant 1.3 per cent annual rate in the April-June quarter — too weak to reduce high unemployment.

And most economists foresee little if any improvement the rest of the year.

Many Americans are reducing debt loads instead of spending freely.

Builders are borrowing less and constructing homes at a modest pace.

Businesses are being cautious about hiring and expanding.

In the long run, reduced debts and rising home and stock prices will help rebuild household wealth, boost consumer spending and spur job growth. But it’s taking time.

“The U.S. outlook could best be described as one of near-term weakness and long-term strength,” says Chris

Jones, an economist at TD Bank.

Here are some of the mixed signals recent economic reports have sent with the election now five weeks away: ● HOUSING After plunging when the housing bubble burst, home prices are finally rising steadily, according to the Standard & Poor’s/Case-Shiller index. The index rose in July compared with a year earlier.

That was the second straight year-over-year gain.

Still, the annual pace of new-home sales dipped in August from a two-year high in July.

At the same time, sales were nearly 28 per cent above the level a year earlier. ● CONSUMER CONFIDENCE Americans are feeling better about the economy despite chronically weak job gains and pay levels that lag inflation.

The private Conference Board’s index of consumer confidence is at a seven-month peak.

A survey of consumer sentiment by the University of Michigan has reached its second-highest point in nearly five years.

Both surveys found that consumers are lukewarm about current economic conditions but more optimistic about the future. ● BUSINESS CONFIDENCE Businesses appear to be less confident than consumers.

A survey of chief ex-

ecutives of large U.S. companies has found their outlook to be at its most pessimistic level since the fall of 2009 — just after the recession officially ended. Orders for long-lasting factory goods plummeted in August.

In part, that reflects Europe’s financial and economic crises, which have reduced demand for U.S. exports. Six European countries are in recession. More are expected to follow. ● CONSUMER SPENDING Americans spent more in August. But that was mainly because they had to pay more for gas and some other items. Adjusted for inflation, consumer spending barely rose in August. That’s been true for most of this year.

Looking Ahead: Spending will likely grow sluggishly without bigger increases in workers’ pay and perhaps a moderation in gas prices. ● JOBS The number of people applying for unemployment benefits fell sharply in the week ending Sept. 22.

That suggests that the weak job market could strengthen.

Employers added just 96,000 jobs in August — barely enough to keep up with the growth of the working-age population.

The unemployment rate did fall to 8.1 per cent from 8.3 per cent.

But that was because many people gave up looking for work, so they were no longer counted as unemployed.

In the 1900s, credit unions in Canada began lending money to people based on the quality of their character rather than simply their financial situation. For years, organizations like the Salvation Army have funded adult rehabilitation centres and other charitable work, and the Mennonite Economic Development Associates in Waterloo, Ont. have been providing loans and economic-development programs to poor areas of the world for more than five decades.

Today, one of the most common ways of making socially responsible investments (SRIs) is through socially responsible investment funds.

To be defined as such, the SIO stipulates that a fund must use one or more SRI strategies as part of its investment selection process and that these strategies must be communicated in the fund’s prospectus.

Another way investors can make SRI investments is through selected retail venture capital funds that invest in private start-up or expansion companies.

Steven Shepherd, senior manager and vice-president of equity strategies with BMO, estimates there currently could be as many as 100 mutual and exchangetraded SRI funds and indexes in Canada today.

Some of the more popular areas of sustainable investing are in water purification, energy consumption, technology, and venture capital for renewable energy and social infrastructure such as hospitals and health care.

How should the average investor approach the whole area of SRI? “If you are active in certain environmental or social causes it is worth examining your existing investments to ensure they align with your beliefs,” Pepin suggested.

“Think about what sort of funds or companies interest you and look into their performance history.”

The first rule of any investing is to know what you’re buying.

“You need to understand the issues of the industry you want to invest in and then learn as much as you can about the individual company or companies,” Shepherd said.

A lot of funds on the market today might not be strictly SRI funds but they may have a strong SRI component to them.

“A lot of diversified funds can look like equity funds but they may have a large SRI overlay,” explained Shepherd.

“The key is to look at these companies’ attitude and commitment to sustainable development.

“Their annual reports are usually a good place to start.”

One of the factors hindering SRI over the years has been a perception that environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues hurt companies’ financial performance by raising the costs of doing business.

A white paper prepared for BMO, however, indicates just the opposite.

“Evidence indicates there is a probability that investors could have added 1.6 per cent a year over just less than five years (between 2006 and 2010) to their investment returns by allocating to their portfolios companies with above-average ESG ratings,” the report concludes.

Once you decide on specific investments, make sure you read the fine print and fully understand how fees are structured.

If you’re a shareholder, you have a say in the company in which you’re investing, and by participating in annual meetings and proxy votes you have the power to effect change.

“It’s important to do

your research and to consult with a financial professional before investing in unfamiliar territory,” Pepin says.

“Ensure you speak with a financial professional who can advise you on sustainable investment options while ensuring they fit in with your investment portfolio and financial plan.”

But even economists will need some time to adjust, Jacobson says, adding that he has arranged for a four-hour seminar on the subject later in the month.

“I’ve been warning people for months this is going to be a biggie, but not everybody’s been paying attention.” he says.

“Every single identifier people are using is changing, all the matrices change.”

He believes the exercise will be worth it.

“It’s going to make things clearer about what the devil is going on.”

The new standards will be a bonanza for “data wonks,” Tebrake agrees. That’s because they will have so many more data points to follow.

For instance, total exports is currently broken down into seven groupings, now it will be 35.

For personal expenditures, StatsCan will issue 100 sub-groupings for analysts to ponder, instead of the previous 38.

The business sector will be split between financial and non-financial corporations, and household income will become more precise after jettisoning tribal government activity, non-profit institutions, and other sectors that really had little relevance to households. Now they will have their own category.

“It’s a much purer and clear measure,” Teblake explains.

“I think at the end of the day it’s a more relevant product. Anyone who does forecasts has much better data at their disposal.”

The changes include re-definitions of categories and new terminology.

For instance, terms such as corporate profits, labour income and personal expenditures will be no more.

One impact, say analysts, is that forecasters may need re-adjust their models to incorporate the new definitions, categories and adjusted GDP results.

But while Monday’s release by the agency is unlikely to impact the market or the Bank of Canada’s thinking about monetary policy, Shenfeld says there is a potential to alter some perceptions, if in the margins.

“If real GDP growth has been faster than we thought, Canada’s productivity performance hasn’t been as worrisome as feared,” he explains in a note issued to clients Friday.

At the same time, he said, changes in the definition of the household sector could result in Canadians realizing they are even more in debt on average than they thought, or maybe not.

In the end, he said, it will likely mean having “to get used to thinking in Celsius.”

Back to Mayberry DIRECTOR RON HOWARD’S RECORDED COMMENTS ABOUT ANDY GRIFFITH PLAYED AT MAYBERRY DAYS

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TORONTO — Rawi Hage has earned more than his share of honours, but the cab-driverturned-novelist says he doesn’t allow awards buzz to affect his writing process: He isolates himself while he’s working on a novel, and only starts to worry after he’s finished.

“Being acknowledged is very rewarding,” Hage says, but it has not caused him to compromise on his writing. Instead, he is learning to live with insecurities and high expectations.

Since he burst onto the Canadian literary scene a few years back, Hage has been showered with the type of recognition that most writers can only dream of.

His first novel, De Niro’s Game, was discovered by House of Anansi editors in their slush pile and published to international acclaim.

It won the 2008 IMPAC Dublin Literary Award, one of the most lucrative literary prizes in the world.

De Niro’s Game and its follow-up, Cockroach, were both nominated for the Giller Prize and the Governor General’s Award, among others.

With his third novel, the tradition continues for the novelist and visual artist: Carnival (House of Anansi, $29.95) was just shortlisted for the Rogers Writers’ Trust Fiction Prize.

“I don’t think I’m different than any other writer,” says Hage on the phone from Montreal, where he has lived since 1992.

He was raised in Beirut and has also lived in

Raylene Rankin of The Rankin Family dies of cancer THE CANADIAN PRESS HALIFAX — Raylene Rankin of the internationally acclaimed Nova Scotia musical group The Rankin Family has died after losing her fight with cancer.

Marlene Palmer, The Rankin Family’s tour publicist, says Rankin’s sister Heather confirmed that Raylene passed away Sunday. She was 52.

Rankin along with her four siblings — John Morris, Jimmy, Cookie and Heather — formed the group more than 20 years ago.

They are credited with taking Cape Breton Celtic music to the mainstream. In 2000, John Morris Rankin died when his truck plunged into the icy Gulf of St. Lawrence near Margaree Harbour, N.S. He was 40.

New York.

The high expectations for Carnival didn’t scare him from experimenting with a non-linear narrative. Structured in five acts, the novel follows Fly, a cabdriver and keen observer, through the streets of the unnamed Carnival city as he befriends prostitutes, homeless boys, drug dealers and other neglected members of society.

Hage wanted to write something “multi-faceted and colourful,” a reflection of the country he now calls home.

This willingness to experiment marks Hage as a distinctly Canadian writer — and lands him, again and again, on the short lists for Canada’s most prestigious literary prizes.

Hage envisioned the novel as “a collection of sketches, small performances.” He was inspired by his own experience as a cab driver, but said, “I always transform these experiences. I use them as a starting point.”

His favourite part of driving a cab was the constant movement from place to place, which he considered the most “inspiring” part of the job.

Carnival shifts fluidly between Fly’s carnivalinspired flights of fancy and his hyper-realistic encounters with passengers and fellow drivers.

This mix of fantasy and gritty realism, which Hage calls “the most natural thing for me,” comes from his work as a photographer.

He says visual art has been an “unconscious influence” on his writing.

“When I’m writing, I always feel like I’m present in it,” he said.

Mind. Griffith, he said, established an inclusive set that allowed him, at age 6, “to feel safe, comfortable enough to participate and then to be able to witness and learn so much about the collaborative process — the value of originality, the discipline of form and the bursts of individual inspiration that good moments and scenes are built on.”

Rance Howard sent a statement praising Griffith’s character to be read at the tribute.

“Andy was an excellent role model, the guardian of good taste and humour,” wrote Rance Howard.

“He loved to laugh out loud and long but his motto was, ‘I don’t want the public to laugh at us, I want them to laugh with us.”’

Griffith was recovering from a heart attack when Rance Howard’s wife, Jean, died. Griffith flew with his wife, Cindi, to California

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — Neil Young, the Black Keys, Foo Fighters and others wowed thousands who turned out Saturday night for a free concert in Central Park to call attention to poverty worldwide.

Dubbed the Global Citizen Festival, the concert also featured K’naan, John Legend and Band of Horses, with Young’s performance capping off the evening. Video of the event was streamed worldwide as about 60,000 music fans crowded the park’s Great Lawn, the midtown Manhattan skyline twinkling behind them.

Legend made a surprise appearance, playing one song Imagine at a piano on stage, a short walk from where the song’s author, John

Lennon, once lived. The five-hour show was a mix of tight sets from the bands, roughly an hour each, mixed with videos and information from guest speakers about global povertyrelated problems like infant mortality and polio.

“Feels good to be here,” Foo Fighters lead singer Dave Grohl told the crowd during a break between hits like Learn to Fly, Best of You and My Hero.

Grohl, members of the Black Keys and others joined Young on stage for the finale, his anthem Rockin’ in the Free World.

The concert was scheduled around the meeting of the United Nations General Assembly in New York this month and organizers used an innovative approach to ticket distri-

so he could speak at the memorial service.

“That’s the kind of friend Andy was,” Rance Howard wrote. “Yes, he played an enormous role in our lives.”

Ron Howard said he learned during the eight seasons “how much care had to go into making a program if it was going to be truly worthy of an audience’s time. “...He helped me to understand that high achievement and leadership require confidence, yes, hard work, absolutely. But it could be gained while still maintaining humility, humanity and a joyous appreciation for those around him.

Like so many others, I’m going to miss you, Andy.”

With his last words for the crowd, Howard mimicked Griffith, who was famous for telling the audience three words at the end of his shows: “I appreciate it.”

Author Rawi Hage (left) and Madeline Thien sit at their table at the 2008 Giller Prize Gala in Toronto on Tuesday November 1, 2008. Hage doesn’t allow awards buzz to affect his writing process.

RALEIGH, N.C. — Andy Griffith led by example on the set of his television show, teaching a 6-year-old boy that true leadership requires not only confidence and hard work but also humility, Academy Award-winning film director Ron Howard said in recorded remarks Sunday.

Howard’s remarks were played during a Griffith tribute at the 23rd annual Mayberry Days celebration in Mount Airy.

It’s the first Mayberry Days held since Griffith, a native of Mount Airy, died July 3 at the age of 86 at his home in Manteo.

The three-day event typically attracts 25,000 to 30,000 people.

“Andy’s impact on my life and my approach to my work really can’t be measured,” Howard said.

“The balance that he sustained between focused, creative effort and this overt, playful enjoyment that he got out of working hard with people that he liked, doing a show he loved, was something that I hope I’ll always remember and emulate.”

Howard played Opie Taylor, the red-headed son of Sheriff Andy Taylor, on The Andy Griffith Show.

The CBS TV show aired from 1960 to 1968, starting when Howard was 6 years old and ending when he was 14.

Tanya Jones, executive director of the Surry Arts Council, said Howard reached out to her and told her he wanted to “do something for Andy,” adding that he knew Griffith loved his hometown.

He emailed Jones after she had reached out to his father, actor Rance Howard, for help with the celebration that’s held in the North Carolina town that inspired the fictional town of Mayberry.

Ron Howard hinted that what he learned on The Andy Griffith Show helped him with his future career, which includes an Academy Award for directing A Beautiful

TOOLS FOR SCHOOLS FUNDRAISER Photo by JEFF STOKOE/Advocate staff

From the left, Millie Hoffos, Cheryll Simoni and Brenda Tomlinson peruse a table of jewelry at Westerner Park recently. The Tools For School Africa Foundation Shine fundraising event drew a big crowd.

Participants were able to purchase donated jewelry.

Grannie shows favouritism Dear Annie: My mother-in-law blatantly favours her oldest granddaughter, “Miranda,� to the exclusion of the other four. She says Miranda is the “good granddaughter� and her 17-year-old sister, “Amy,� is the “troublemaker.�

I believe that Amy acts out partly because of the negative label she has been saddled with for years. Meanwhile, Miranda can do no wrong.

She recently persuaded her grandmother to let her boyfriend move into the family home while her father was out of town.

My husband and I live out of state. When we visit the relatives, my mother-in-law MITCHELL spends the entire time talking & SUGAR about Miranda’s glowing character and wonderful achievements. Our three kids only see their grandmother twice a year. You’d think she’d make an effort to get to know them a little.

This favouritism does not do anything to promote family relationships. Our kids joke about their pecking order in the family and actually rank all the

grandchildren through Grandma’s eyes. They realize that Miranda is No. 1 and Amy is No. 5 and that they fall somewhere in between. How do we approach my mother-in-law about her favouritism, letting her know that it actually makes the other children resent both Miranda and her? — Mom of Nos. 2 Through 4.

Dear Mom: It may not help, but please ask your husband to speak to his mother. He should explain that her favouritism is obvious to everyone and that her strong preference for Miranda severely damages her relationships with the other grandchildren. Fortunately, your children have one another for support.

They understand that Grandma is besotted with their cousin and that it is not a reflection on their character. It’s Amy who suffers the most. Please reach out to her.

Dear Annie: I am the youngest of three children, and my parents are in their 80s. They both have myriad medical conditions.

Since moving home, I got a new job and assumed the role of caregiver for my parents. I cook, shop, run errands, do laundry and take them to the doctor. My older sister, who lives out of state, visits often and jumps right in to help. She will even trim the bushes.

My brother, however, I have no use for. He’s twice divorced, makes a six-figure income and travels extensively. He could easily do more for our parents, but his visits are infrequent, and he stays less than two hours.

The role of caregiver is one that should be shared equally and enthusiastically between all siblings.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): When tension gives way to sweet sentiments, there is no need to rationalize the quick switch. What you previously struggled with now makes perfect sense. Use this great feeling and stay productive and busy. What a wonderful way to start the week.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Even if your longings have been for security and stability, a new urge asks you to re-consider your notions of safety. A comfort within is priceless.

What brings comfort will remain, but your need to spread your wings cannot be denied.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You are being encouraged to let go of a thing or situation, but are fighting tooth and nail to hold on. As long as you have your hope in a brighter future, you have everything. With this appreciation, releasing the burdens is an easy step.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): No one promised life would be easy, but we are granted opportunities to find fulfillment within it. Your usual demeanor may feel slightly demurred.

It’s one of the most honourable things one can do. My brother understands that. He just doesn’t want to do it. What’s the best way to get him to start pulling his own weight? — Holding It Together in Indiana Dear Indiana: You and your sister are kind and compassionate. But you cannot force your brother to be the same. Instead, ask him to contribute financially to your parents’ care. Use the money to hire additional help around the house or to have a caregiver come so you can get a break. Hopefully, he’ll be relieved to help in a way that doesn’t require his physical presence, and you will be less resentful.

My mom passed away suddenly at the age of 64.

Dad was devastated. A few years ago, he married a lovely lady and, at the age of 80, has rediscovered the joy of living. His obligation was to provide for me, teach me right from wrong and allow me the opportunity to acquire the skills to be employable. It is my job to raise my kids with the same love and values and provide for my own retirement. Dad has earned the right to enjoy the fruits of his labours, and I am delighted that he and my new stepmother are spending our inheritance. — Glad To Be Dad’s Daughter Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Let it lead to reflection, but don’t dwell in anything less than optimistic.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You’re the one everyone seems to be coming to as the rock that stands strong. Don’t let it be a weight on your shoulders. See it as a source of pride.

You are trusted more than most. More importantly, the stability others see is contentment you have earned.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): It’s inherent to the human condition to have hope in another day. There may have been disappointment, but it’s slight in the larger picture.

There’s no need to continue a drawn out conversation. Believe in you as you continue your steps forward.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’re remarkably close. Despite what seems to be out of your hands. Don’t let what looks like an immediate loss fool you into thinking you are down. The chips will eventually fall in your favor.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You are

aiming at a specific target. It seems to matter to you a great deal that you hit it with precision. Keep on with your effort, but know that even if your dart lands in the general vicinity, you will have achieved much.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Be open to having conversations, even if history has proven some things are better left unsaid to certain people. It is exactly the surprise element you need to make the communication meaningful.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You have been inching your way forward, but it hasn’t always felt like progress. Now you see how important laying a strong foundation has been to the overall picture of your success. Keep your feet stable and strong as you continue your reach to the stars.

He was the most honourable of men. A special thanks to the staff at Extendicare for their exceptional loving care of our husband and father these last two years.

Omar Khadr ‘desperate’ to be normal Canadian ARRIVES BACK IN CANADA FOLLOWING HIS 10 YEARS IN NOTORIOUS GITMO

BY COLIN PERKEL THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Hours after a disbelieving Omar Khadr arrived in Canada following his 10 years in the notorious U.S. prison in Guantanamo Bay, among his first questions was whether he could get a pen and paper so he could carry on his studies, one of his lawyers said Sunday.

Khadr, who spent the weekend trying to come to terms with his new digs — a maximum security facility in eastern Ontario — was also keen to see his family, especially his mother but might have to wait a while longer, said Brydie Bethell, who visited her client on Saturday and Sunday.

Bethell said Khadr, 26, was “just sparkling” but could barely believe he was finally

out of American hands and back in Canada.

“He’s been dreaming about this moment for 10 years, so it’s profoundly momentous for him,” Bethell said in an interview.

“He’s been the victim of incredible manipulation, and many promises to him have been broken, so that disbelief is also born of that experience of abuse and betrayal.”

Amid intense secrecy, the Toronto-born Khadr was flown to Canada early Saturday, leaving behind the prison condemned by human-rights activists around the world as a legal black hole where he was the lone westerner and youngest inmate.

He was taken to Millhaven Institution west of Kingston, Ont., for a period of assessment — normal procedure for new inmates — before

authorities decide where he will serve out the remaining six years of his eight-year sentence for war crimes.

He will be eligible for parole within about six months.

Khadr is “desperate” to be a normal, contributing member of society, Bethell said, noting that he has been studying various subjects with the long-distance help of a tutor in Edmonton.

“He’s so committed to his education,” she said.

“The first thing he wanted to know is how he could get a pen and paper so he could get his homework done.”

Khadr pleaded guilty in October 2010 before a military commission to five charges levelled at him by the Pentagon, including murder in violation of the law of war for the death of an American special forces soldier in Afghanistan

in July 2002.

He was 15 years old at the time of the offences.

His return — like most everything connected to his situation — has aroused strong passions among Canadians.

Some see him as the poster child for the excesses of the American war on terror. The Conservative government and many others vilify him as a treacherous killer.

Bethell, who has spent more than 100 hours with him, dismissed such characterizations.

“The portrayals are really based on a lack of fact, especially ones that seek to demonize him for some sort of political spin,” she said.

“If Canadians have the opportunity to get to know him as a person and not simply as an image or the product of spin, they would be amazed about the kind of person he is.”

Public Safety Minister Vic Toews also made it clear he has concerns about Khadr’s family in Toronto, where they have been living quietly for several years.

His mother and two of his siblings have faced accusations they supported al-Qaida and terrorism.

In a recent interview, a close relative said Khadr considered family the “most important thing” and wanted nothing more than to be back with his mother, who “goes crazy” with distress over the separation.

Prison authorities will decide when family can visit, but Bethell said Khadr’s keen desire to see his relatives after such a long separation was perfectly natural.

“They are his family, and she is his mother.”

Twin budget axes expected to carve $2.5 billion out of DND

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — An independent analysis has concluded the waves of federal budget cuts washing over National Defence will run deeper and likely be more painful than advertised by the Harper government.

While it won’t exactly be a return to the “decade of darkness” the Conservatives attribute to the Liberal years, the reductions will be significant and are expected to cut into the military’s “readiness” — or ability to respond quickly to a crisis.

The days of soldiers rationing their training ammunition, fuel and money used to make equipment operationally ready may be about to return, the report warned.

The research paper, written for the Centre for Security and Defence Studies at Carleton University, estimates the cumulative effect of the Harper government’s strategic review and the overlapping deficit reduction action plan will carve up to $2.5 billion out of the nearly $21 billion National Defence budget by 2014-2015.

The 27-page report, penned by defence expert Dave Perry, is believed to be the first comprehensive snapshot on the post-war military of the impact of the federal government’s duel-tracked deficit reduction plan and spending freezes.

“With the economy once again the government’s top priority, the Canadian Forces will need to adjust to a new fiscal climate, one which will re-

duce its budget by at least 11 per cent over the next three years,” said the research report, a copy of which was obtained by The Canadian Press.

“At the same time, the military’s ability to make budgetary adjustments has been tightly constrained by the decision to retain its frontline military capabilities. As a result, the Operations and Maintenance budget will bear the brunt of these budget cuts.”

The Harper government has repeatedly said it wants Canada playing a leading role internationally alongside allies, but the report warns, the way the cuts are shaking out, the military will be strained almost as badly as in the 1990s.

“As a result, it will be very difficult for the military to play the same ex-

peditionary role that it has in recent years,” said the report. “While the pursuit of influence may not be over, with less funding available for operational readiness, the prospects of making influential military contributions abroad will be greatly reduced.”

The government’s mantra of being defenders of the military will be sorely tested over the next few years.

“They’re cutting it quite hard, but no harder than any other government would in the same position,” said Perry, who is also a researcher for the Conference of Defence Associations.

“DND is a huge chunk of discretionary spending and if you want to cutback on overall federal outlays, no matter how much you like to support the military, you’ve got to cut defence.”

CIA welcomed ’pragmatic’ Mulroney in wake of ‘negative’ Trudeau: CIA

Reporter says she will countersue former Vancouver Olympics chief John Furlong

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER — The reporter who wrote a story about alleged abuse by former Vancouver Olympics chief John Furlong says she will countersue him for suggesting she didn’t do the proper research.

Laura Robinson said Saturday that Furlong intentionally misinformed the public about her professional ethics when he accused her of a shocking lack of diligence and having a vendetta against him.

After the story was published last week, Furlong denied the abuse allegations and said in a statement that his character had been recklessly challenged and that he would be taking legal action.

But Robinson said that starting on Feb. 27, 2011, she sent six to eight emails to Douglas and McIntyre, the publisher of Furlong’s book, Patriot Hearts, which was released after the 2010 Games.

She said a publicist replied to one of her emails, saying Furlong was a physical education teacher at a Roman Catholic high school in Prince George, B.C., where he also managed the athletics program.

“That is the only answer I received from Mr. Furlong in a year and a half of asking questions,” Robinson said.

She subsequently emailed the publicist to ask if Furlong had also taught at a Catholic elementary school in Burns Lake from the late 1960s to the early 70s, when he is alleged to have physically and mentally abused First Nations students, but was told Furlong would not answer her questions, Robinson said.

Robinson said that in April 2011, she directly and politely asked Furlong about his time in Burns Lake but that he walked away after screaming at her.

OTTAWA — The U.S. Central Intelligence Agency saw Brian Mulroney’s new government as a welcome alternative to the “gratuitous negative” attitude of the often prickly Pierre Trudeau, declassified documents show.

The CIA cautiously assessed the “Boy from Baie Comeau” as a more amiable ally than the occasionally irascible Trudeau in a September 1984 memo written three weeks after Mulroney’s Progressive Conservatives swept to power, ousting the long-entrenched Liberals.

The intelligence agency did not expect a wholesale shift from Mulroney, but cautiously greeted his “conciliatory and constructive” approach.

On East-West trade, relations with the Communist world and U.S. involvement in Central America, the CIA believed the Tories would “steer a pragmatic course,” supporting Washington when in Canada’s interest and chastising it otherwise, says the memo.

“Unlike Trudeau, however, we expect Mulroney to refrain from gratuitous negative comments about U.S. foreign policy and to remain evasive or silent when it is politically possible to do so.”

The Canadian Press obtained several CIA analyses of Mulroney’s early months in office through the U.S. Freedom of Information Act. Portions of the records, quietly declassified by the agency in recent months, remain secret.

Though Mulroney was widely seen as blatantly trying to cosy up to Ronald Reagan’s Republicans, — even singing When Irish Eyes Are Smiling with the U.S. president in the spring of 1985 — the intelligence agency looked beyond the photo ops in an attempt to divine the prime minister’s political intentions.

It also tried to characterize Mulroney’s style based on his limited political dabbling to that point.

“As a politician, Mulroney — much like the most successful Canadian prime minister, the Liberal Mackenzie King — can be best described as a ‘trimmer,’ ready to adjust to changing political winds and relatively unconcerned with consistency in policies.”

The CIA argued that although Mulroney’s “winning personality” and status as a son of Quebec were prime assets for the Tories, building an effective political organization in the province would “not be easy.” Indeed, by the turn of the next decade, the Tories’ grip on the province would fail following failed constitutional overtures.

The intelligence agency sized up the Mulroney government’s likely course of action on foreign investment, defence policy, energy strategy, the environment and fisheries.

The level of scrutiny — despite the fact Canada was a close friend and ally — is hardly surprising, said Sarah-Jane Corke, who teaches U.S. intelligence history and foreign policy at Dalhousie University in Halifax.

“It would have been completely normal for them to do this,” she said. “They would have studies like this on every country in the world, and especially issues that reflect in any way their national security objectives.”

A May 1985 CIA paper on the politics of Canadian defence policy lambasted Trudeau’s “deliberate neglect” of the military during his 16 years in office.

“In our opinion, Canadians generally think little about defence and when they do, reject outright the idea of giving defence priority over maintaining the social welfare system,” says the brief.

“These attitudes made it easy for Trudeau to ignore defence, and will make it very difficult for Mulroney to implement a more expensive and efficient defence program.”

The CIA concluded that Tory defence efforts for the foreseeable future would be more rhetoric than

Small quake rattles Dallas suburb

Typhoon injures dozens in Japan THE ASSOCIATED PRESS TOKYO — A powerful typhoon headed to Tokyo on Sunday after injuring dozens of people, causing blackouts and paralyzing traffic in southern and western Japan.

Japan’s Meteorological Agency said Typhoon Jelawat was expected to reach the Tokyo region Sunday night. It warned of torrential rain and strong wind gusts, urging residents to stay indoors.

The agency said the storm was packing winds of up to 126 kilometres (78 miles) an hour as it passed the Nagoya area in central Japan. Nagoya city issued an evacuation advisory to more than 50,000 residents because of fear of flooding from a swollen river.

More than 10,000 people were also evacuated in Ishinomaki, a coastal city in northern Japan that was hit by last year’s tsunami.

The typhoon left 145 people with minor

injuries in southern and western Japan, about half of them on the southern island of Okinawa, public broadcaster NHK said.

Tens of thousands of homes were without electricity.

Dozens of trains were halted in coastal areas around Tokyo and many stores inside the capital closed early Sunday as the storm approached.

It was expected to hit northern Japan and then move off into the Pacific Ocean early Monday.

DALLAS — Damage from a small earthquake and a subsequent aftershock in a suburb west of Dallas was mostly limited to cracked walls and knocked-down pictures, authorities said.

The unscathed DallasFort Worth airport, near the epicenter of Saturday’s late-night temblor, kept up with normal flight operations. And emergency officials said there were no indications of any injuries.

The initial earthquake, measured at a preliminary magnitude of 3.4, struck at 11:05 p.m.

CDT (0405 GMT) Saturday and was centred about 2 miles (3.2 kilometres) north of the Dallas suburb of Irving, the US Geological Survey’s national earthquake monitoring centre in Golden, Colorado, reported.

USGS geophysicist Randy Baldwin said from Colorado that the initial quake lasted several seconds and appeared strong enough to be felt up to 15 or 20 miles (24 or 32 kilometres) away. He said the smaller aftershock with an estimated 3.1 magnitude occurred four minutes later and just a few miles (kilometres) away in another area west of Dallas.

Irving’s emergency operators were flooded with more than 400 calls after the initial quake, with people reporting minor damage, such as cracks in some walls and a ceiling, pictures that had been knocked down and a report of a possible gas leak.
