tour wraps up on Sept. 8 in Calgary.

No doubt cycling enthusiasts are counting down the days until history is made on Canadian soil.

But to the average person who may not give professional cycling a second thought, the magnitude and understanding of the major international sporting event might be somewhat baffling.

George Berry, chairman of the local Tour of Alberta organizing committee, said every professional cycling event has

a strong festival component to it — and that makes it different from other professional sporting events such as hockey or football.

Berry believes curiosity that will bring Red Deerians and Albertans to the sidelines, hoping for a glimpse of the best of the best in cycling.

“It’s a little bit of a novelty for people,” said Berry, an avid cyclist.

“They have never seen this or experienced it.

Sylvan Lake council to discuss life-jacket proposal the work description so that we’re having someone standing in the booth, how is that fully utilizing our resources to the maximum?” said Joanne Gaudet, the town’s communications officer.

Gaudet said because of the significantly higher population on the beach at Sylvan Lake, those running the program would prefer to have it supervised.

To make the program effective, she said, it will have to be consistent so that people can rely on its availability.

BY MYLES FISH ADVOCATE STAFF

Sylvan Lake council will discuss at its next meeting how to accommodate a proposal to make lifejackets available for free on the town’s popular beachfront.

The Lifesaving Society, in collaboration with the provincial government, runs a program where lifejackets are provided for the public to borrow, at no cost, through 15 loaner stations in the province.

Each of the stations are located in provincial parks or provincial recreation areas and are unmanned, operating on the honour system.

As it is a high-use area, the province would like to see the life-jackets made available within the town of Sylvan Lake and potentially incorporate the town’s Beach Ambassador booth located on the lakefront.

Grant Santo, regional operations manager for the East Central Region of Tourism, Parks and Recreation, will present the idea to council at its Aug. 26 meeting. Since all of the other loaner booths have been on provincial grounds, this will mark the first time permission is sought to operate the program under another jurisdiction.

“It’s a pretty good program. We’re expanding steady. It’s quite successful and we’re hoping we can do a different version of it here at Sylvan Lake,” said Santo.

The program began in Alberta in 2010, modelled after a similar initiative in Alaska. The program was introduced at Aspen Beach Provincial Park near Bentley earlier this month, and also operates at Crimson Lake Provincial Park near Rocky Mountain House.

Bringing the program to Sylvan Lake was discussed by town counLAUNDRY PAIR cil earlier in August at a special meeting, with support demonstrated for the program but no official decision made.

The town has been beset by two deaths on the lake this summer — one when a 26-year-old Calgary man went under the water after being unable to get back on his inflatable raft, and another when a 42-yearold Red Deer man went into medical distress while swimming near a boat.

Santo said other municipalities around the province have also expressed an interest in having the program come to their communities. mfish@reddeeradvocate.com

Over an undisclosed period of time, the male is believed to have been involved in a number of robberies. RCMP did not say if these were armed robberies.

Red Deer RCMP describe the suspect as Caucasian with reddish blond hair and facial hair.

It is believed the male is driving a silver Chevy Cavalier or Pontiac Sunfire with black rims and a spoiler.

Barbecue promotes safe floating on the river

BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF As recently as this week, Red Deer emergency crews had to respond to Red Deer River floaters in distress.

Two people were unable to get to safety and were sitting tight on the water intake at the city’s water treatment plant as Red Deer Emergency Services launched their boat to get to them.

Earlier this month, five teenage girls were rescued by Red Deer County Technical Rescue, Innisfail RCMP and park services, who searched and found them eight hours after they were reported missing.

In both instances, the river-users were safe, but the two incidents, as well as several other during the summer, raise concerns about the use of the river.

Safe Communities Central Alberta held a barbecue at Fort Normandeau on Friday afternoon promoting safe floating down the Red Deer River. They brought hot dogs as well as life-jackets and whistles, necessary gear for those going for a leisurely tour down the river.

Kathleen Raines, Safe Communities Central Alberta executive director, has been behind the summer-long Water Safety on the Red Deer River project, which received funding from the Alberta Centre for Injury Reduction and Research. They purchased about 100 life-jackets and whistles.

“The staff at Fort Normandeau have been offering those to floaters all season long,” said Raines.

They also used the money for a little promotion of the safe water message, which extends beyond wearing a lifejacket, and waterproof pouches big enough for a cellphone and car keys.

Sporting their new PFDs, water safety pouches and whistles from the left, Isaac Timmins, his father, John Paul, family friend Devun Jassamine and Amelia Timmins get ready to launch their rafts at Ft. Normandeau Friday afternoon. Safe Communities Central Alberta was at the popular rafting area Friday handing out safety gear and encouraging people not to consume alcohol on the river.

People should also bring non-alcoholic beverages for their float, as the time on the river tends to be long and dehydration is possible.

“We encourage people to make sure they have a plan and make sure they have all the safe gear,” said Raines.

“What the staff at Fort Normandeau and the Red Deer County Technical Rescue people tell us is they see probably the majority of people don’t have proper gear when they’re heading down the river.”

Home invasion suspect pleads not guilty, elects judge alone

Life-jackets are needed because the toys used to float down the river are not approved flotation devices and, as Bob Dixon, Red Deer County Patrol Senior Patrol Officer said, one pop and the device doesn’t work.

“Many people choose these little things designed to be in a swimming pool and they float down the river and they’re not built for safety,” said Dixon.

“We see an awful lot of people with inadequate sun protection and inad-

equate liquids and inappropriate liquids, of course being alcohol. In the worst case scenario people take lots and lots of beer, which helps to dehydrate you and causes some people to not make proper choices.”

As well, rivers are public places so it is against the law to consume alcohol while afloat.

“Our concern with that is people getting themselves in trouble and us needing resources to save them, where if they just hadn’t had those half dozen beers, they wouldn’t be in a problem.”

Raines pointed out that even though someone may have had a few beers on the river, they still have to drive home — another reason not to drink on the river.

Items such as water and proper sunscreen are important when dealing with prevention of sun stroke or dehydration, due to the duration of the float.

“If you’re just floating, people often aren’t aware of how long it takes them to get to McKenzie Trails,” said Raines. “It’s a four-or-five-hour float trip to McKenzie Trails. If you’re relying on the river’s current, you’re not going very fast.”

Flooding has also affected the Red Deer River as erosion has changed what the landing spots look like. Dixon said high water always changes the course of the river.

“It changes the bottom of the river so there are holes where there didn’t used to be and there are sweepers and rocks where there didn’t used to be,” said Dixon. “All of sudden there is a great big tree under the surface, just waiting to snag their float tube.” mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com

Town of Sylvan Lake staff move into new digs

BY MYLES FISH ADVOCATE STAFF Friday was moving day for staff at the Town of Sylvan Lake as they set up shop in the new town hall in advance of its opening on Monday.

The new building, at 5012 48th Ave., gives municipal staffers more room to work and is more accessible to the public than the town’s old digs, which consisted of two old buildings that were fused together.

“The space is going to be the best feature. It’s definitely built to accommodate the town’s growth and any future organizational growth that we experience,” said Joanne Gaudet, the town’s communications officer.

“It’s very exciting for all of the staff here to get out from on top of each other and move into a healthier working environment.”

The project, funded by the town and through the provincial Municipal Sustainability Initiative, had a total budget of $7.9 million, a figure that included the demolition of the old RCMP building that had been on the site. Before the move, the town’s directors of community services and public works had their offices elsewhere because there had not been room in the old town hall.

The town’s archives will be housed in the basement of the new town hall, and the building also features a meeting space available to the public.

The new, larger council chambers, which will host its first meeting on Aug. 26, is fitted with large televisions that will display council agendas and any presentations during meetings.

“There are many times where we have a public hearing or a delegation and we don’t have room in the council chambers and we flood into the kitchen,” said Gaudet, referring to the old chambers.

The old town hall is to be sold by the town. In 2011, when plans were being formulated for the new building, the value of the existing property was estimated at around $800,000. mfish@reddeeradvocate.com

Province backs away from mandatory flood warnings on land titles EDMONTON — The Alberta government is backing away from a plan to put warnings on land titles for properties in flood-risk zones.

The government will instead work with the real estate industry to ensure prospective homeowners get the information they need before buying property at risk of flooding.

“We want to help property owners get their homes back to normal as quickly as possible while ensuring the property is protected from future floods,” Rick Fraser, associate minister in charge of flood recovery, said Friday in a news release.

“These changes will make mitigation easier and more efficient.”

Municipal Affairs spokeswoman Kathleen Range said the government modified the rules after hearing from Albertans.

Range said the goal is to balance consumer pro-

“There are other ways that we would be able to get that information into (homebuyers’) hands other than doing the note on the land title,” said Range.

The province will explore “more proactive ways, such as working with the real estate industry to make sure consumers are protected on what is likely the biggest purchase they will make in their lifetime,” she said.

Homebuyers can already check properties on Alberta’s flood-hazard mapping website.

Extensive flooding in June displaced tens of thousands of people in Calgary and surrounding communities and caused billions of dollars in damage.

Quick thinking neighbour helps save family from apartment fire CALGARY — A neighbour’s quick thinking is being credited for allow-

ing a family of four to escape unharmed from a burning Calgary apartment building.

Fire officials say the rescuer, who does not want to reveal his name, called 911 when he saw flames at the northeast-area residence overnight.

Battalion chief Allan Ball says he then put a ladder up to a second-storey window to allow the family to flee because the blaze had cut off their only other escape route at the back of the building.

The parents were carrying two small children down the ladder when crews arrived to quickly extinguish the flames that covered a wide area at the rear of the block.

A race to the bottom AUSTRALIA EXPOSES ITS INHERENT RACISM

BY SHIPPING REFUGEES TO PAPUA NEW GUINEA The Australian boat people are getting to be a problem. The first few million just got off the boats from Britain, pushed the Aborigines off the good land, and declared themselves the real Australians. This latest lot of boat people, though ... they don’t even stay in Australia.

They’re settling in Papua New Guinea.

It’s not exactly their own idea, to be fair.

The descendants of the earlier boat people, now numbering some 20-odd million, have GWYNNE decided that DYER Australia is full up, so any more boat people have to be sent elsewhere.

But where? Well, how about somewhere poor and violent, to deter them from trying to get into Australia in the first place? Besides, if it’s a really poor country, then it can be bribed to accept them. Right, then. P.N.G. it is.

The Australians have convinced themselves that they are drowning in refugees but they aren’t. Just go to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development’s 2011 online statistics, and check out the top four lines for “Inflows of Asylum Seekers.”

First by alphabetical order is Australia (population 23 million), which got 11,505 asylum seekers. Then comes Austria (population 8 million), which got 14,406. Then Belgium (population 10 million), which took in a whopping 26,003 refugees. And finally Canada (population 35 million), which received 24,985. If the Australians are drowning, they are drowning in very shallow water.

Moreover, 70 per cent of the boat people seeking asylum in Australia are Sri Lankans, Afghans and Iranians, most of whom we may assume are genuine refugees. So why did Australian governments start detaining asylum seekers, including children, as long ago as 1992, even though that is illegal under the 1951 Refugee Convention of which Australia is a signatory?

At that time, refugee flows were high everywhere, although that’s hardly an excuse. No other country did that and at no time have asylum seekers amounted to even 10 per cent of Australian immigration.

Keeping them in prison in Australia while sorting out their claims eventually got too embarrassing, so in 2001 the government signed a deal with Papua

INSIGHT

New Guinea to send them to mosquito-infested Manus Island, 300 km off P.N.G.’s northern coast, for “processing.” But their claims for asylum were still treated seriously and the genuine claimants were eventually settled in Australia.

Asylum seekers to Australia were at a peak of almost 13,000 in 2001, but over the next few years they dropped steeply. By 2004, they were down to 3,200, so Australia closed the Manus camp.

Labour Prime Minister Julia Gillard reopened the Manus Island prison last year, presumably because the number of asylum seekers had gone back up to 11,500. (Why? The defeat of the Tamil separatists in Sri Lanka, a possible Taliban takeover in Afghanistan, and the crushing of the Green protests in Iran.)

But horrible though it was, the Manus camp was still a “processing” centre, and (some) genuine refugees got resettled in Australia in the end.

Then Kevin Rudd took over the Labour Party leadership last June in an inner-party coup and almost his first act as prime minister was to declare that no person arriving by boat would

ever be allowed to settle in Australia.

They would be settled in Papua New Guinea instead.

He was facing an imminent election that Labour seemed bound to lose, so he needed to rouse the rabble. It worked: Labour’s poll numbers have already improved considerably.

Papua New Guinea is an utterly impoverished country with one of the highest crime rates in the world.

Eighty-five per cent of its seven million people survive by subsistence agriculture, and the cities largely consist of gang-ridden slums swept by tribal violence. It is a completely unacceptable place to “resettle” refugees, but Rudd has persuaded the P.N.G. government to take them in return for a very large (but secret) amount of money.

Why does Australia behave like this?

Racism, obviously.

Compared to any other Englishspeaking people, Australians (or a great many of them) are openly, astoundingly racist. You’d have to go somewhere like Russia or China to find people expressing their racial prejudices in such an unselfconscious, almost naive way. And here’s a clue:

New Zealanders, similar to Australians in so many other ways, don’t talk like that at all.

Racism is mostly about fear and the Australians are very afraid of something.

You may mock, but I have a theory about that. Every time Australians look at a map, they see the entire continent of Asia looming above their country like an avalanche waiting to happen. I suspect they are afraid that one day it will fall on them and crush them.

But that’s only because conventional maps are drawn with north at the top. You can already get joke world maps in Australia that put south at the top, so that Australia floats serenely above that huge Asian mess below.

Just make those maps standard in Australian schools and on Australian TV news and in a few months, you’ll see the change.

Then, if the occasional boatload of refugees bubbles up from below, who cares? Australia’s above it all and we can deal with it. Problem solved. My bill is in the mail.

When summer fun fails to float WHY DO YOUNG PEOPLE CONTINUE TO TAKE RISKS ON THE RED DEER RIVER? For many young people, there’s nothing like a relaxing float down the Red Deer River with a bunch of friends on a scorching-hot summer day, flimsy blow-up rafts well-stocked with ice-cold beer.

Dressed for the heat in shorts and T-shirts or bathing suits, but no life-jackets or extra clothing to protect against the searing sunrays or fickle nature, they are courting disaster.

Red Deer County senior patrol officer Bob Dixon told the Advocate recently he’s “seen it all” on these river floats when it comes to lack of common sense. Belting back the beers (thus impairing their RICK judgment), no life-jackets or ZEMANEK paddles — and the list goes on with reckless rafters breaking just about every rule in water safety.

“There are a dozen recipes for disaster,” he said.

“People have no idea.”

Dixon once encountered a group of revellers set out to launch on a float while seated around the sides of a round rubber dinghy, its centre loaded with ice and beer cans.

Recently, lack of common sense played a key role in the disappearance of five 12-to-14-year-old girls who got lost while floating down the river near Red

INSIGHT

Lodge Provincial Park near Bowden.

Innisfail RCMP, the county fire department and a technical rescue team were involved in the search.

Eight hours later, the girls had hiked back to the park after losing directions. They carried no emergency supplies — in fact, they didn’t even have shoes.

Such an activity, it would seem, requires an adult escort. A river is not to be toyed with.

Advocate outdoors columnist Bob Scammell, in more than one column, has warned that while a float down the Red Deer River provides sights to behold, nature can be cruel and unforgiving if one is not prepared for the unpredictable elements.

Scammell and a pal witnessed such a scenario while floating down the river, fly casting for brown trout, and a storm brewing with a chilling upstream wind blowing. They encountered an anxious crew of three young men and two females, floating in what Scammell calls a “rubber ducky,” an unsuitable dollar-store inflatable, meant for a family pool or a day at the lake.

“How much longer to Red Deer ... below Three Mile Bend?” Scammell reported they asked, in a column three years ago. They were looking at nine to 13 hours from their Penhold Bridge launch site — a 27km float — but had been told by a pal that it would take only two hours.

A while later, Scammell and his friend witnessed the three young men in T-shirts and shorts seeking help from a shoreline residence while the two females in bikinis were showing severe signs of hypothermia.

Dixon says inexperienced river rafters seriously underestimate the time it takes to get from point A to point B on the river. If the flow is low, rafters are travelling at a snail’s pace. “If you need to go down the river three or four miles, and you’re going only two to three miles an hour, it will take you two to three hours to get there.”

And the twists and turns in a river can easily cause disorientation.

Booze on river floats has been a constant concern for county officials, as is spending hours in a scorching sun unprotected — thus courting heat stroke.

Even prior to a raft launch, county authorities have found would-be-rafters stewed to the gills.

“You’re not making good decisions if you have consumed alcohol or have heat stroke,” said Dixon.

Education and preparedness are the keys to river rafting. They can make the difference between a memorable outing and one that courts disaster.

Packing life-jackets, sun screen, drinking lots of water to avoid dehydration, and carrying extra clothing to protect yourself against a scorching sun and potential hypothermia (or sudden storms) are among the points county peace officers emphasize.

A rafting outing at its best is about taking in the summer sun and admiring the natural beauties along the Red Deer River valley.

But nature dictates that it won’t always turn out so idyllic.

And for floaters on the Red Deer River, there is no turning back.

HAY’S DAZE

two faithful readers may recall that the keys were eventually found in our hotel room hanging from the switch inside a lampshade that our pilot had hung his shirt on. The shirt with the keys that slipped out of the breast pocket.

Turns out, finding the keys inside a lampshade was the highlight of the entire trip. But we didn’t know that at the time. Unfortunately.

The next day we made it as far as Cranbrook before we had to land on account of something was wrong with the airplane. A semi-emergency landing in the mountains not a fun way to start a little holiday either, especially when a mechanic had to replace something called a “magneto,” which I knew was the name of a super-villain in the X-Men Marvel comic books. And which I took as a bad sign.

We made it to the Okanagan eventually, where a female ex-friend would have nothing to do with one particular broken-hearted member of our flying quartet, but I eventually got over it and we all made the best of it by searching in vain for the Ogopogo and attempting to swim in the cheap hotel’s pool, which was permanently set at 5C. They don’t like to heat pools in B.C. — especially for Albertans.

But the time we thought our number was up was on the trip back. Suddenly weather moves in like an unwanted relative and the foolish four and our Cessna are headed into the dark heart of a serious storm somewhere in the middle of the Crossness Pass.

Our pilot, Gary, 26 years old with 10 years of flying experience, takes us higher, too late to turn back, making sure we will clear the mountain peaks that we can no longer see. Suddenly it’s like someone hung thick black cur-

tains on all the windows and turned the plane into a ping-pong ball.

I was so sure our number was up, I huddled in the back passenger seat, with my head between my knees and my coat over my head and my eyes squeezed shut, babbling away over the deafening violent jostling roar of the storm like there was no tomorrow.

Calling in every favour and making every promise to every known deity and some I think I made up. Pleading that it wasn’t our time to go to the big airport in the sky.

I think the other guys, including Gary the pilot, were doing the same.

And as so happens in stories where you are just about to ride the pale horse, the storm somehow suddenly breaks and the sun shines and the ping-pong ball is an airplane again and you take your coat off your head.

We burst out of the maelstrom into a precious calm, and there in front of us a vision none of us will ever forget: Ogopogo!

Just kidding, we level off facing the most wonderfully flat patchwork prairies, the Calgary airport in the distance. Zillions of places to land if we wanted to. Beams of light breaking through the clouds like soaring major chords from a celestial pipe organ.

You could practically hear the choir as we burst into the kind of manic celebration that only comes when you know you’ve dodged a bullet, ducked the devil, danced out the door. Missed it by that much. And after a vacation like that? Every day is a holiday.

Tories fail to embrace own good plan The Conservatives may have turned on their own creation. But a study by the International Monetary Fund is full of praise for the Parliamentary Budget Office and the contributions it has made to better fiscal planning and greater public spending transparency despite efforts by the Harper government to derail its work and undermine its credibility.

The IMF report — Case Studies of Fiscal Councils: Functions and Impact — examines six such bodies, all of which drew on the experience of the U.S. Congressional Budget Office and all of which were designed to improve fiscal performance and transparency. Our own PBO seems DAVID to have had some of the greatCRANE est difficulties in getting its work done due to government stonewalling. But nonetheless, the IMF study says, its work has been impressive.

However, it warns that out PBO faces great challenges in its first transition period, as a new Parliamentary Budget Officer is sought to replace the outspoken Kevin Page, whose first five-year term expired in March. He was not appointed to a second term. It is not only members of the Harper government who dislike the PBO. Many senior bureaucrats are also hostile to exposing their work to greater public scrutiny.

Though Page stepped down in March, no successor has been named and there are legitimate fears that the government wants a successor who will be less inclined to question government accounting.

Page, for example, earned the ire of the Tories for challenging government estimates of the costs of the Canadian military participation in Afghanistan and the full life-cycle costs of the F-35 aircraft. To make matters worse, Page’s estimates were more accurate than those of the government. Likewise, Page’s calculations on economic growth and budget accounting turned out to be closer to the mark than those of the Department of Finance. As the IMF study shows, Finance projections on the economy and on federal spending and revenue have become more accurate since the PBO was created.

The PBO was part of a package of reforms to improve accountability introduced by the Tories

INSIGHT

after they came to power in 2006 and it received the support of all political parties. The PBO had two key roles: To provide MPs with expertise and independent information to understand fiscal matters and hold the government to account; and to provide an objective assessment of the economic and fiscal forecasts of the Department of Finance and improve their accuracy.

But to limit the role of the PBO, it was made part of the Library of Parliament rather than given full independence, as is the case with the Auditor-General. A bill earlier this year, introduced by Opposition Leader Tom Mulcair, would have made the PBO a full officer of Parliament with much greater independence. But the Conservative majority defeated the bill.

“From the outset, there have been issues surrounding the basic legal and operational design of the PBO, especially concerning its location, budget and mandate,” the IMF report notes. This lack of clarity, the report argues, “has resulted in tensions which the PBO argued threatened his office’s operational independence.” The Harper government reacted to early PBO reports, which highlighted inaccuracies in government accounting, with “an early attempt to reduce the budget and operational independence of the office,” it said.

Even today, the PBO’s mandate continues to be

contested. The PBO, seeking details of departmental spending cutbacks, found that many departments simply refused to supply the information. This is shocking, reflecting a contempt for Parliament. Even more shocking, the PBO has had to seek recourse to the courts to get this information. But the issue remains unresolved.

Yet “despite the controversy that has often surrounded the PBO, the office has built up a good reputation, both domestically and internationally, and gain[ed] credibility,” the IMF report says. It adds that the PBO “has earned a reputation for good quality, independent analysis for its research, costings and forecasting work.”

But this isn’t what the government or senior bureaucrats may want.

Within government, the preference is for the PBO to remain a part of the Library of Parliament, with a much-diminished profile and limited power. But if it is to have the teeth as an independent entity working for Parliament and the people, then, like the Office of Auditor-General, it should become an independent officer of Parliament. That would best serve the interests of transparency and the effectiveness of Parliament in holding the government to account and hence democracy itself.

STREET TALES

I see that for someone who made such a big change in their life, it is much like sitting on that tractor hour after hour, all the while maintaining a focus on a goal in their future.

With so much in this world competing for our attention, it is all too easy to lose focus.

One person who has been through that kind of a recovery was doing well for three to four years, then fell off the wagon. Two statements that this person made caught my attention.

The first: “When you take your focus off of your recovery, you begin to miss the excitement that was part of street life! You conveniently forget the garbage and down times, you just focus on the excitement.”

The second comment was what really struck me: “It surprised me at how quickly the old street me came back! It was like riding a bike; once you learn you never lose it. But it was as if it came back to me many times greater than it ever was before.”

How often have we heard this before?

After several years working in this field, we see this played out so often that we begin sometimes to lose hope ourselves, and we ask ourselves: Is it worth the effort, or are we helping or enabling?

Many times discouragement sets in and you’re ready to throw in the towel, but then someone else will come to you for help to make that change in their life, and you hear in their voice the plea for encouragement and support.

Then I think to myself: If all they want and need is that encouragement and support mixed in with a little love and care, then why should I be discouraged? They owe me nothing and expect nothing more than that little bit of concern I might display, and it seems if I just stand by them, they have more of a reason to change their focus. All I have to do is change my focus from one of illusory expectation to one of merely responding emphatically to a plea for help.

And it is worth it.

CAMPING MADE EASY

PARKS CANADA AND A LOCAL TOUR OUTFITTER HAVE MADE CAMPING IN BANFF AN EASY PROSPECT — EVEN FOR NON-CAMPERS

A

s we sat at our campsite near Two Jack Lake in Banff National Park roasting marshmallows on the campfire, my kids started talking and I learned things about them that I didn’t know before.

With no cell service, no TV and no computer, there was plenty of time to disconnect from technology and reconnect with each other, which was pretty much the point of the trip.

Two Jack Lake is one of the prettiest camping spots in the Canadian Rockies DEBBIE and on this particuOLSEN lar evening the water on the lake was so smooth we could see a perfect reflection of the surrounding mountains on its glimmering surface.

Rumour has it that the lake’s name was the outcome of a poker game lost by the first park superintendent, George Stewart, but today the lake is a sure bet for those looking for a spectacularly scenic campground.

Camping is a great Canadian tradition, but for many people the idea of setting up a tent, building a fire and sleeping outdoors seems more like an episode of Survivor than a real vacation. Until recently, I fit into that category. Our family had not been on a real camping trip since our youngest child was in diapers. Back then it just took one ugly incident featuring a temper tantrum and a sippy cup torpedoing through the air to convince us that camping wasn’t really worth the effort.

But as my children got older, I started to think about camping again. There is no better way to get close to nature and to each other than a family camping trip. It’s also cost-efficient.

And with the Canadian Rockies right in our backyard, Albertans have some of the best campgrounds in the world to choose from. People travel from all over the globe to experience the rugged mountains, crystal clear lakes and glacier-carved valleys that make up the birthplace of Canada’s national parks and we only have to drive a few short hours to enjoy that natural beauty.

That said, after more than a decade without a family camping trip, there was some resistance to the idea. It takes a lot of work to have a good camping experience and my husband was concerned that we didn’t have enough sleeping bags, tents, cooking utensils and other equipment to manage a camping trip with all four of our almost grown children. What he didn’t know is that Parks Canada and a local tour outfitter have made camping in Banff an easy prospect — even for non-campers.

Adirondacks great camp to reclaim Gilded Age glory NEWCOMB, N.Y. — Camp Santanoni will never again be a private refuge for the mega-rich to enjoy the Adirondacks in rustic opulence, but after two decades of slow, steady restoration work on the log buildings, visitors can get a sense of roughing it, Gilded Agestyle.

Santanoni was one of the earliest great camps built by wealthy families with names like Rockefeller and Vanderbilt beginning in the late 19th century. Managed by state environmental officials, it is the only remaining great camp that is publicly owned. But the once-imperiled camp remains a work in progress. Summer visitors who hike or bike the nearly 5-mile road to the lakeside camp are likely to hear hammering.

“When I first went there, the first week I almost left. It was so daunting,” said master carpenter Michael Frenette, who has done most of the work at Santanoni since 1998. At first he performed triage, but now almost all the buildings are stabilized.

“Two or three years ago, I remember just walking up on the porch and it being like a lightning bolt striking me: ’Wow, it’s back! It’s a camp again.”’

The great camps were camps only in the loosest sense. Santanoni’s owners, Albany banker Robert Pruyn and his wife, Anna, had roughly 50 buildings constructed, including a gatehouse, barns and a creamery. The roof of the main lodge sweeps over five more buildings, creating a suite of cabins sharing a long porch overlooking Newcomb Lake.

“Some of the early visitors just got off the wagon and ran around the porches and opened the doors and just marveled there was running hot and cold water and that there was a piano in the living room,” said Steven Engelhart, executive director of Adirondack Architectural Heritage, which is helping preserve Santanoni.

The piano and other furnishings are long gone, but summer visitors can poke through the buildings. Several thousand come each year, including winter visitors on cross-country skis.

The idea is to maintain the camp so that it appears as though the Pruyns could show up anytime, said Charles Vandrei, historic preservation officer for the state Department of Environmental Conservation.

“Everyone likes to go through all the rooms trying to imagine what it was like 100 or 150 years ago,” said Matt Carter of Kinderhook, who biked in recently with his preschool-age daughter, Abby.

In Santanoni’s heyday, the Pruyns and their guests would stroll among the tall pines with men in jackets, ladies in long skirts. They played pingpong, sang, boated and enjoyed meals cooked by staff they could summon by buzzer. Pruyn heirs sold the camp to another family in 1953. It passed to the state in 1972.

Next came a long period of limbo when the buildings were left to slowly deteriorate. The Forever Wild clause of the state constitution imposes strict rules for state land in the Adirondack Park, and some environmentalists wanted the woods to reclaim the site.

Conservation groups even monitored the camp to make sure no repairs were made.

The architectural heritage group was started in 1990 in part to save Santanoni, which was designated a state historic area in 2000, the same year it became a National Historic Landmark.

Preservation work began in 1993 on the artist cabin’s roof — a priority to keep buildings stable — and has spread to other buildings since then.

Frenette this summer is repairing one last roof on a farm cottage away from the main complex. College-age summer staffers scrape and paint windows when not giving visitors information.

Frenette, who is 56 and lives nearby in Tupper Lake, visited Santanoni during its low ebb in the early ’90s but didn’t begin working there until after being selected for a master class on wood preservation technology hosted by the International Council on Monuments and Sites in Norway. Engelhart saw a notice that Frenette attended and asked him if he wanted to come by for a volunteer work day.

Despite early misgivings, the job melded two things Frenette loves:

working with wood and being in the forest. He seems to know the building down to every notch in every log. Since he works by himself or with a few helpers, progress comes slowly. But visitors who come every year are treated to a sort of time-lapse view of the buildings being repaired.

Engelhart figures $1.9 million has been spent on rehabilitation since the mid-’90s, with money coming from his group, the Town of Newcomb, state and federal government. He estimates they are about halfway through. But there’s still work that could be done, from chimney flashing above to the wine cellar below.

“Endless, really,” Frenette said. “It depends on where you want to go.”

Camp food made easy A successful camping trip almost always includes plenty of great food. Besides the typical hotdogs, hamburgers, sandwiches and trail mix, two musthave items for our family are tin-foil dinners and s’mores.

Tin-foil dinners — Also known as hobo dinners, the beauty of these meals is that all the prep work is done at home and each camper makes their own meal in advance. Layer pre-cooked meat (chicken, hamburger, steak), veggies (carrots, peas, corn, onion, tomatoes) and thinly-sliced potatoes (may use hash browns or tater tots) on a thick slice of aluminum foil. Spread the sauce of your choice (ketchup, tomato soup, barbecue sauce) on top of the meal and top with cheese. You may also wish to place a few slices of bacon on top of the meal. Seal the edges of the foil tight and wrap with a second layer of foil.

Store in a cooler and cook on the coals of the fire until the dinners are thoroughly warmed and the vegetables are tender.

Many variations of these meals are available including gourmet concoctions such as tinfoil peach cobbler and seafood surprise.

These are best cooked on the hot coals of a bonfire, but you can also cook them on a barbecue.

For great recipe ideas, visit www.sixsistersstuff. com/2013/07/30-delicious-tin-foil-dinners.html.

S’mores — A s’more consists of a roasted marshmallow and a layer of chocolate sandwiched between two pieces of graham cracker. If you don’t have access to a bonfire, try making s’mores by wrapping them in aluminum foil and cooking them on a medium hot barbecue grill or a toaster oven for one to two minutes on each side.

Parks Canada just constructed 10 oTENTiks at Two Jack Lakeside Campground in Banff National Park. The name is a takeoff of the word “authentic” and the units are a cross between a tent and a cabin.

Each unit sleeps six people and comes with mattresses, electrical outlets, a wood stove, pots and pans, a table and chairs, a propane barbecue and a fire pit.

Also new this year is a private camping rental service that can provide a family of six with everything they need to have a successful camping trip. Bactrax camping rentals will even set up the tent and take it down for you, so camping can actually be a no-muss, no-fuss vacation.

We were fortunate to be among the first to try the new oTENTiks at Two Jack Lakeside Campground and we also took advantage of the new rental service. The weather was perfect for our first night of camping and as we sat around the fire visiting and joking with each other, I decided that I wouldn’t wait another decade to do this again.

If Parks Canada could find a way to guarantee sunny skies for all camping trips, we’d be out there every weekend.

Riggers win AAA title CHARLIE MANUEL

PHILLIES FIRE MANUEL PHILADELPHIA — Charlie Manuel was fired as manager of the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday, with his team way out of the pennant race and in a tailspin since the All-Star break.

Manuel, the winningest manager in franchise history, was replaced by Hall of Famer and former Cubs second baseman Ryne Sandberg, the Phillies’ third-base coach.

Sandberg managed the Phillies’ Triple-A team at Lehigh Valley the previous two seasons. “I never quit nothing and I didn’t resign,” Manuel said, making it clear this decision came from the front office. With Manuel seated to his left, general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. broke down in tears after making the announcement and saying the former manager has a job with the team if he wants it.

“You people may not know the relationship I’ve had with Charlie.

He’s a special person.

This is difficult for me.

I hope he stays in our organization,” Amaro said. Amaro said he informed Manuel of the decision not to extend his contract earlier this week in Atlanta. Manuel managed against the Braves on Wednesday night knowing it was his last game. Sandberg takes over beginning with Friday night’s game against the NL Westleading Los Angeles Dodgers.

EARN BERTH IN CANADIAN CHAMPIONSHIP

BY DANNY RODE ADVOCATE STAFF Riggers 8 Athletics 7 On paper the Red Deer Riggers had the talent to win the Sunburst Baseball League title, which would also give them the provincial senior AAA championship.

What they had to do was show it on the diamond.

They did just that with an 8-7 victory over the Fort Saskatchewan Athletics before over 500 fans at Great Chief Park Friday.

The win gave the Riggers a 3-2 victory in the best-of-five final and earned them a berth in the Canadian championships next year in St. John’s, NL. “We felt we always had a chance to win and on paper we did, but at times that can be a curse,” said Davin Gulbransen, who was one of four players who moved over to the Riggers this season after the Red Deer Stags folded.

“We had to battle through a little adversity, losing Jason (Chatwood) to Team Canada and Brant (Stickel) not 100 per cent. But we looked at ourselves in the mirror and we knew we were underdogs heading into Fort Saskatchewan (on Wednesday), but we pulled through. These fans tonight were tremendous. It’s nice to see 500 fans here and they’re all behind you.”

Josh Edwards gave them an outstanding effort in a 5-4 win Wednes-

day to send the series back to Red Deer where Matt Davis started and turned in a solid seven innings.

Davis allowed five runs with the final two off Gulbransen in the ninth.

“They’re a team that never gives up,” said Riggers manager Curtis Bailey. “Even when it was 8-4 we knew they wouldn’t roll over. But we held out.”

The key play in the game came in the eighth with the bases loaded.

Jason Sutherland hit a ground ball to second baseman Denver Wik, who tossed it to shortstop Matt Fay, whose relay to first was deflected by the hand of Andy Herman.

After the umpires got together Herman was called for interference making Sutherland the third out, leaving the score 8-5.

“That was the right call,” said Bailey. “I know they didn’t like it, but he interfered.

The Riggers trailed 1-0 after two innings, but exploded for four runs in the third off A’s starter Scott Koughan. The big blow was a two-run triple by Kevin Curran, who lined a shot deep to centre.

“They play shallow on Kevin and I told him to take a shot early in the count to hit the ball hard and it worked,” said Bailey.

The A’s got to Davis

for three runs in the fifth inning— two on Henry Duke’s home run — but Red Deer scored four times in the bottom of the fifth to take control again.

Davis worked to one batter in the eighth, giving up a broken bat double to Duke. Stickel came on and wasn’t sharp as he hasn’t pitched for some time and after getting an out he loaded the bases,. That brought in Gulbransen, who got the controversial double play.

“It was definitely the right call,” said Davis, who joined the Riggers this season after two years with Medicine Hat of the Western Major Baseball League.

“I’m glad I gave it a shot (in Medicine Hat), but I’m glad to be back home,” he said.

“The guys are great and we have a real solid team. Tonight they did a great job behind me and the nice thing is next year we’re off to the nationals.”

Koughan’s loss was his first of the season. He earlier beat the Riggers in the playoffs.

“We had to change our approach toward him and drive the ball up the middle and to the opposite field,” said Bailey.

“He throws a lot of strikes, but isn’t over powering.”

Burris, Congi lead TigerCats past Blue Bombers THE CANADIAN PRESS Hamilton 37 Winnipeg 18 WINNIPEG — The man they call Smilin’ Hank had plenty of reason to be in a good mood after a terrific performance Friday.

Henry Burris completed 22-of-36 pass attempts for 333 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions as the Hamilton Tiger-Cats dumped the reeling Winnipeg Blue Bombers 37-18.

The victory put the Ticats on a two-game winning streak with a 3-4 record, while the Bombers continued to tumble downhill with a 1-6 record and five-game losing streak.

The loss came a week after Bombers brass made changes it hoped would shake up the team in a good way when team president and chief executive officer Garth Buchko and general manager Joe Mack were fired last Friday.

That was followed by a switch at starting quarterback to CFL rookie Max Hall, the signing of kicker Sandro DeAngelis and the hiring of former Hamilton head coach Marcel Bellefeuille as an offensive consultant.

“Extremely disappointing,” Bombers head coach Tim Burke said of

“I expected us to come out and play extremely well. I think we played with good effort, I thought our guys played hard, but we didn’t execute and we certainly had way too many penalties.”

Winnipeg had 16 penalties for 137 yards, while Hamilton was flagged 13 times for 101 yards.

Hamilton’s offence also had the execution and creativity the Bombers lacked.

Rookie fullback John Delahunt caught a oneyard pass from backup QB Dan LeFevour and Andrew Jones hauled in a 25-yard pass over his shoulder from Burris.

LeFevour punched in for a one-yard TD run and running back C.J. Gable took a direct snap and ran 15 yards into the end zone after Hall was intercepted.

Congi made field goals from 41, 46 and 27 yards and went wide left on a 37-yard attempt.

“We’re really playing hard and we’re getting better as a football team,” Austin said.

Hall did record his first touchdown in his CFL debut when he threw a six-yard pass to Rory Kohlert in the second quarter.

Armstrong wins men’s shot put bronze at world championships THE CANADIAN PRESS MOSCOW — The Canadian track and field team is on pace for a historic performance at the world championships.

Dylan Armstrong won bronze in men’s shot put Friday to boost Canada’s medal haul to four, tying its best-ever total at the competition.

The thrower from Kamloops, B.C., reached the podium with a season-best toss of 21.34 metres to capture his second straight medal at the

event. He won silver in 2011.

“I just feel amazing,” Armstrong said. “My coach and I worked really hard, I made some really good choices this year.”

Armstrong joins Brianne Theisen-Eaton (silver, heptathlon), Damian Warner (bronze, decathlon) and Derek Drouin (bronze, high jump) as Canada’s medallists in Moscow.

Canada’s performance at the world championships has been an improvement over the 2012

London Olympics, where Drouin’s bronze was the track and field team’s only medal.

“It’s another medal for Canada, it shows that when you have the right coaches in place, the right support and the funding behind it that it’s going to pay off,” Armstrong said of his bronze.

“You have to invest in sport, results don’t come for free.”

Canada also won four medals at the 1995 world championships in Sweden, though two of those were gold — one cap-

tured by Donovan Bailey in the men’s 100 and the other by the men’s 4x100metre relay team.

David Storl of Germany retained his shot put title. Storl’s winning throw of 21.73 metres was first flagged for a foul but later reinstated. Ryan Whiting of the United States took silver with a toss of 21.57.

Armstrong was plagued by an elbow injury last season and finished a disappointing fifth at the London Games. He was a fourthplace finisher at the

2008 Beijing Olympics, though that may change after Belarusian Andrei Mikhnevich received a lifetime ban for a doping violation by the International Association of Athletics Federation, track’s governing body.

Mikhnevich’s medals at IAAF events have been stripped, but the International Olympic Committee has not yet relieved Mikhnevich of his 2008 bronze.

Friday’s bronze was a nice bonus, Armstrong said.

B.C. looking to stop Cornish

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

CFL

VANCOUVER — The B.C. Lions are clear on their mission as they prepare to host the Calgary Stampeders on Saturday.

Stop Jon Cornish.

The Lions want to make sure the Stamps running back does not repeat his performance of a week earlier, when he scored four touchdowns in a win over the previously unbeaten Saskatchewan Roughriders, while romping for 175 yards.

“It’s going to take all of us,” said Lions defensive lineman Keron Williams. “You can’t have one person out there tackling him, because he’s too good. Their offensive line is too good.”

The Lions (4-2) have a chance to move into a tie for first place in the West Division with the Stamps and Riders, who are both 5-1.

“Their offensive line and Cornish, they’re real talented, obviously, and they’ve been having a lot of success,” said Lions linebacker Adam Bighill. “They play physical, so it’s a big chance to stop them.”

The Lions are looking to avenge an embarrassing 44-32 season-opening loss to the Stamps in Calgary on June 28, when the game was decided early. Cornish ran for 172 yards and two touchdowns in that game as the Stamps extended their mastery over B.C. dating to the 2012 Western Final.

While trying to stop Cornish, the Lions will also attempt to make a better showing of their own running game.

Lions tailback Andrew Harris, who has built a rivalry with the New Westminster, B.C., native in recent years, ran for only 20 yards in the season-opener and expects himself and the team to be better.

“It’s one of these games where it’s a statement for us,” said Harris. “We lost

RIGGERS: Ronnie led with four hits The biggest hit may have been Fay’s bouncer up the middle with Wik in motion on a hit-andrun.

“That seemed to get us going in that third inning and gave everyone a boost,” said Bailey.

Karnie Vertz pitched the sixth and seventh for the A’s with Drew Boyer coming in in the eighth.

Mike Ronnie led the Riggers with four hits while Fay, Curran, Kerry Boon, Bailey and Curtis Mazurkewich added two hits each. drode@reddeeradvocate. com

“We have to prove that we can hang with these guys,” Benevides said.

But Cornish, who has enjoyed a number of strong games against the Lions, is not buying B.C.’s underdog brand, expecting a strong effort from the hosts in a stadium in which they have dominated since it received a new roof in 2011.

While he always strives to improve from one game to the next, he is not banking on a repeat of his four-touchdown effort, either.

“You have to forget whatever you

back and lobbed the ball to a wideopen Delahunt.

The eight-play, 101-yard scoring drive — including a 42-yard catch by Gable — stretched Hamilton’s lead to 10-0 at 10:29.

Winnipeg had what appeared to be a 96-yard punt return for a TD by rookie Aaron Woods wiped out 23 seconds into the second quarter after Bombers fifth-year linebacker James Green was called for offside and seven-year cor-

nerback Jovon Johnson was flagged for illegal participation.

The Bombers rebounded and marched 103 yards down field for Kohlert’s six-yard TD catch in the corner of the end zone.

CFL: Penalties helped both teams Bomber linebacker Ian Wild returned a fumble 54 yards for a late TD, DeAngelis made his one and only field-goal attempt for his new team and connected on an 18-yarder and Mike Renaud had a punt single.

Hall completed 18-of30 pass attempts for 241 yards with the one TD and two interceptions, while Bomber slotback Terrence Edwards led all receivers with eight catches for 172 yards.

Hamilton led 10-0 after the first quarter, 17-7 at halftime and 24-7 after the third quarter.

“I thought we made good halftime adjustments,” Hall said. “I thought we had good conversation at halftime.

“I think we may have pressed a little bit being down, maybe tried to force a few things, which happens when you’re down. So I think that’s what kind of caused some of the bad things that happened in the second half.”

Penalties helped both teams in their early touchdown drives.

After a pair of Greg Ellingson catches of 14 and 23 yards in their first series of the game, the Ticats moved down the field, but only came away with Congi’s 41-yard field goal at 3:35.

A Bomber penalty led to Delahunt catching his second career TD. Winnipeg defensive back Alex Suber was flagged for tripping Ellingson in the end zone, setting the ball on Winnipeg’s one-yard line.

some confidence against them playing in the Western Final. We want to get that morale back and get back to winning ways as a team.”

Harris’ comments reflected the Lions’ ongoing effort to paint themselves as underdogs. The Winnipeg native described his rivalry with Cornish as “friendly” and claimed he is just happy to be mentioned in the same conversation with him.

Meanwhile, Lions coach Mike Benevides called the Stampeders “the better team.”

did in the past game, because it doesn’t matter,” said Cornish. “Sure, it might put us in a better record or whatever.

But unless we come out and do what we do every week ... it’s forgotten. So you have to have a big game every week.”

Cornish, who is second in rushing in the CFL with 676 yards, a 7.3-yard average and seven touchdowns, also wants to have a big game in comparison to Harris, who sits third with 459 yards, a 5.5-yard average and four TDs. While Cornish contended the media has made more of the rivalry than he does, he welcomes the hype.

“The media definitely helps in bringing out good games, because any time you have incessant coverage of a specific pairing of two players, I don’t know, it makes you have to rise to the occasion,” said Cornish. “I enjoy rising to the occasion, so it’s not a bad thing.”

Lions quarterback Travis Lulay thinks the hoopla surrounding the Canadian running backs is great for the league, and he does not mind the ongoing discussion about them, either. “(People) will talk about it forever, because they’re both Canadian guys,” said Lulay. “But as far as respect goes, it has nothing to do with passports or anything. It’s not like they’re good Canadians. They’re good football players.”

Cornish never gets tired of playing in B.C. Place Stadium, either. It’s a place where he feels extremely comfortable.

“This is the only locker-room I’ve ever used here in B.C. Place, and I played here in high school as well,” said Cornish. “It never gets old. I like to think of this as my second city, and I really enjoy playing here.”

the Blue Jays on Friday night.

Lobaton’s triple came off Aaron Loup (4-6) after Yunel Escobar walked. Lobaton had three hits.

Fernando Rodney (5-3) gave up two hits to start the ninth but worked out of the jam.

“We had the lead,” Toronto manager John Gibbons said.

“We gave it up. Had plenty of opportunities. Couldn’t get it done. That’s why they’re at the top and we’re at the bottom.

It’s pretty simple.”

Tampa Bay leads the AL wild-card race and is one game behind East-leading Boston. The Blue Jays are last in the division, 15 back of the Red Sox.

A-Rod’s camp Clemons addresses Argos implicated ahead of game against Esks other players in PED use: TV report CANADIAN FOOTBALL LEAGUE

MISSISSAUGA, Ont. — When Michael (Pinball) Clemons speaks, the Toronto Argonauts listen.

The club’s former head coach and current vicechair delivered an animated 10-minute address to the team following Friday’s practice as the Argonauts prepare to host the Edmonton Eskimos.

Toronto (4-2) enters Sunday’s game tops in the CFL East Division and riding a three-game winning streak, while Edmonton (1-5) limps into Rogers Centre in the West basement.

It’s not the first time Clem- Michael (Pinball) ons, a star Toronto running Clemons back on the field and member of the Canadian Football Hall of Fame off it, has spoken to the Argonauts while a member of the club’s front office. He stood up in front of the team during a losing streak last season and again prior to the Argonauts’ victory in the 100th Grey Cup. So why have Pinball attend an already spirited practice ahead of a mid-August game against a team tied for last in the league?

“I was fortunate to have a surprise visitor and he’s always welcome,” Argonauts head coach Scott Milanovich said coyly before adding: “Pinball played

here, coached here and he’s a lifetime Argo — and then also the best speaker I’ve ever been around.

He’s one of us and the players feel like he’s one of them, and he is.

“To have such a dynamic speaker who they feel is part of the family, it’s just another voice.”

Argonauts defensive tackle Kalif Mitchell is in his first season with Toronto but sees the value in what Clemons has to offer.

“It gives us a perspective of somebody who’s not playing, but played the game and also understands how the game should be played,” Mitchell said. “He gives it to us raw. He never gives it to us sugarcoated.”

One treat for the Argonauts so far in 2013 has been the play of veteran quarterback Ricky Ray. The 33-year-old former Eskimos pivot, who has missed one game with a knee injury, is third in CFL passing with 1,355 yards and second in touchdowns with 11, to go along with zero interceptions.

But while Ray has completed 34-of-38 passes for 438 yards with five TDs in his last two starts, he and his teammates are taking nothing for granted against the Eskimos.

“The challenge when you’re playing well and winning football games is to not let up and start going through the motions and think that we’re playing good right now and we’ll show up for gametime,” said Ray, who joined Toronto after a trade with Edmonton before last season. “We’ve still got to do the things that have gotten us to this point, which is practise hard, study, and pay attention to all those little details.”

Roughriders not looking past Alouettes as they try to start a new winning streak

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS REGINA — “Struggling” is an adjective that is not generally applied to the Montreal Alouettes, but there is no doubt the perennial powerhouse has fallen on hard times this CFL season.

The Alouettes are off to a 2-4 start, and now go on the road Saturday to face a Saskatchewan Roughrider team looking to avenge its first loss of the season.

“It doesn’t sit well with anybody,” veteran quarterback Anthony Calvillo told reporters Friday. “We are just not accustomed to being 2-4. It’s very disturbing.”

Normally, this is the time of year when general manager Jim Popp would be touring NFL camps in search of import talent. Instead, he is on the sidelines as a replacement for fired head coach Dan Hawkins, trying to return the team to its former winning ways.

“It’s an evaluation as much as anything,” said Popp, who considers himself a “transition” coach.

“And it seems like it’s going in the right direction.”

Calvillo is convinced that the talent is there and he says the players have confidence in the coaching staff.

“It’s part of the cycle, part of football life,” he said of the team’s current woes, adding that he, personally, is determined to fight his way through it. “I’m not a quitter.”

As scenarios go, Mosaic Stadium is not the ideal environment for a team that is sputtering as opposed to streaking. Popp knows that road games are a challenge at the best of times, and Ridervile in particular is “a very tough place” to play. The Roughriders announced a sellout crowd of 40,637 will take in Saturday’s game.

Calvillo has always loved competing in Saskatchewan, owing to the energized and energizing atmosphere created by the hometown fans. “At the same time,” he said, “we have a job to do.”

For their part, the Roughriders are downplaying last week’s 42-27 loss to the Stampeders that ended their bid at a perfect season.

“On defence, we could have done a lot more things, we know that,” linebacker Craig Butler said.

“This defence takes a lot of pride in everything we do. We’ll bounce back.”

Added defensive back Dwight Anderson: “This has been a great week in practice. I’m looking forward to (Saturday’s) game.”

Reed takes 1-stroke lead at Wyndham

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS GREENSBORO, N.C. — Patrick Reed listens to wife Justine. And with good reason: she’s carrying his clubs.

With his wife serving as his caddie, the PGA Tour rookie shot a 6-under 64 on Friday to take a onestroke lead in the Wyndham Championship. He had an 11-under 129 total.

“I don’t mind her having all the attention,” Reed said. “Less attention for me, which means I can just focus more on my game.”

Reed had six birdies in a bogey-free round that was a stroke shy of matching his best of the year.

John Huh had the best round of the day — a 62 — to move to 10 under. John Deere winner Jordan Spieth was 9 under after a 66. Spieth also is a PGA Tour rookie, and Huh is in his second year.

Charlie Wi, Bob Estes, Rory Sabbatini, Brian Harman, Jim Herman and first-round co-leader Ross Fisher were 7 under.

Wi had a 65, Estes, Harman, Herman and Sabbatini shot 66, and Fisher had a 69.

Organizers moved up the third-round tee times Saturday to try to dodge a threat of rain, with players going off in threesomes at the first and 10th tees.

Reed, the 23-year-old former college player at Georgia and Augusta State, had top-10 finishes in his last two tournaments. He could have built an even bigger lead in this one, but missed a 12-foot birdie putt on the par-3 seventh.

He closed his round with birdies on the eighth and ninth holes, sinking a 10-foot putt to applause from the gallery and walking off the green with his arm around Justine’s shoulder.

She began caddying for him last summer before a Monday qualifying tournament in Houston. During a humid, 100-degree day in Texas, she had no trouble lugging around a bag full of rain gear, he said.

“I told her to read putts for me that day, and she just has a knack for reading greens extremely well,” Reed said. “It’s basically like my coach being out there with me. She knows just as much about the golf swing. She knows why I hit it left or right or anything like that, so I mean, if ever I get out of whack, she can fix me immediately.”

Reed certainly has a history on Donald Ross-designed courses in North Carolina. He reached the semifinals of the 2008 U.S. Amateur on Ross’ No. 2 course at Pinehurst, and the first cut he made on the tour came at this Sedgefield Country Club course two years ago after receiving a sponsor’s exemption.

“That’s why I love this event,” Reed said.

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — Members of Alex Rodriguez’s inner circle obtained and leaked documents that implicated Ryan Braun and other players in using performance-enhancing drugs 60 Minutes reported Friday.

Citing unidentified sources, the CBS news show said the leak occurred in February, days after the Miami New Times published documents implicating the Yankees star in the Biogenesis investigation.

In the Miami New Times documents, the names of Braun and one of Rodriguez’s teammates, catcher Francisco Cervelli, are redacted. 60 Minutes reports that members of Rodriguez’s camp obtained unredacted versions and leaked them to Yahoo! Sports.

Rodriguez’s lawyer, David Cornwell, denied the allegations to 60 Minutes.

“The allegations are untrue and are another attempt to harm Alex — this time by driving a wedge between Alex and other players in the game,” he said in a statement to the show. “While Alex focuses on baseball and repeatedly states that he is going to respect the appeal process, the drumbeat of false allegations continues.”

Rodriguez has been suspended for 211 games through the 2014 season. He is allowed to play until a decision is issued by arbitrator Fredric Horowitz, which is not expected until at least November.

Braun, the Milwaukee Brewers slugger, accepted a 65-game suspension last month.

All-Stars Nelson Cruz, Jhonny Peralta and Everth Cabrera were banned 50 games apiece Aug. 5 when Major League Baseball disciplined 13 players, including Cervelli, for their relationship to Biogenesis of America, a Florida anti-aging clinic accused of distributing banned performance-enhancing drugs.

Europe takes lead in Solheim Cup

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PARKER, Colo. — Europe took an important step Friday toward winning the Solheim Cup on American soil.

Carlota Ciganda salvaged a par after a ruling that took about 30 minutes as she and Suzann Pettersen rallied to win a key fourballs match that staked Europe to a 5-3 lead. Stacy Lewis was on the losing end of that match. She got into a heated discussion with a rules official as a long day at Colorado Golf Club was winding down.

Pettersen and Caroline Hedwall won both their matches for Europe.

Michelle Wie displayed a solid short game and Cristie Kerr came to life with her putter to help the Americans keep it close.

It’s the second straight time that Europe has led after the opening day, winning in 2011 in Ireland. It has never won the Solheim Cup away from home.

RAISING CASH

THE COWBOY WAY

Host and country star Gord Bamford performs.

Photos contributed Gord Bamford isn’t afraid of a little challenge — in fact he met it head on, in true cowboy style, and raised $355,000 for the Gord Bamford Charitable Foundation on Aug. 7.

Since 2008, Bamford has generated over $1 million through the Gord Bamford Charitable Foundation to support organizations such as the Ronald McDonald House Central Alberta, Make-A-Wish Foundation, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lacombe, in addition to several children’s hospitals across Canada.

“Once again this event never ceases to amaze me and I’m thrilled that we surpassed our set goal of raising $300,000,” Bamford said in a prepared statement. “From the talented musicians who perform and donate their time, to the sponsors who always support us, we are able to help those in need.

These are great people and we look forward to working with them every year.”

Tyler Gauthier of Sylvan Lake was selected as the Make-A-Wish Foundation recipi-

ent. In December 2012, Tyler was diagnosed with an acoustic neuroma tumor. Tyler and his family were present at the gala to accept the $10,000 cheque on behalf of the Make-AWish Foundation of Northern Alberta. Tyler and his family will be heading out on a Disney cruise in December.

The Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lacombe and the MEGlobal Athletic Park of Lacombe will also benefit from some of the proceeds raised at the 2013 event.

Canadian music royalty wowed the 700 people at the gala. Michelle Wright, Aaron Pritchett, Deric Ruttan, Emerson Drive’s Brad Mates, Beverley Mahood, Patricia Conroy, Tera Lee, as well as American singer/ songwriters Phil O’Donnell, Buddy Owens and Justin McBride all performed.

Title sponsors PennWest Exploration and venue sponsor Dow Chemical Canada were joined by heroes sponsors ATB Business and Agriculture, Downton’s Transport, Gasoline Alley Harley-Davidson, Lacombe Ford, M&N Construction, Quinn Contracting Ltd., Sims and Associates Insurance Services and Viking Projects Ltd.

RESEARCHERS TO INTERVIEW RED DEER WOMEN AS PART OF CHILDBIRTH STUDY

BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF University of Lethbridge researchers are looking at women’s expectations of childbirth and the very different reality many experience.

They want to include Red Deer area women who have given birth in the last year or so.

Claudia Malacrida, primary researcher on the project, said literature shows caesarean births have skyrocketed since the 1990s, but often that’s not what women intended.

“Women, primarily when they talk about what they expect their birth to look like, are opting for a natural birth. For most of them it means: ‘I prefer not to have any medical intervention, but I’m going to a hospital,’ ” said Malacrida, who is

also a professor and chair of the sociology department at U of L. She said once they are at the hospital, they may be encouraged to have an induction if the labour is slow. When faced with severe pain, often women will ask for the epidural, which can slow down labour, so they face additional intervention.

Malacrida said that can lead to disappointment for women.

“I think there’s kind of an idea that women can choose, but in practice it doesn’t play out that way at all.”

The national average for Csections is about 24 per cent of births. In Red Deer, it’s 29 per cent, she said.

“Red Deer has actually quite high C-section rates, but also has midwives so that’s a really interesting problem because the assumption is that midwifery and women-centred birth

professionals would probably help women have less intervention. But it doesn’t always play out that way so we’re looking at a really complicated picture.”

Malacrida said the rise in Csections have given rise to two camps. One says it’s just a problem of women who are “too posh to push” and the other says it’s just a problem of doctors who want to have a convenient practice.

“Right now it’s: blame the doctor, blame the mother. And that really doesn’t help anybody. By looking at the perspective of multiple stakeholders, we hope to provide recommendations that might deal with this more complicated set of experiences.”

Researchers have so far interviewed about 40 women in the Lethbridge and Calgary area.

Malacrida said a few of those women made the decision to have a planned caesarean section for their first birth without medical indications.

It’s an option that’s slowly becoming more socially acceptable.

Researchers want to hear all sides and will be in Red Deer on Sept. 18, 19 and 20. They have set up interviews with Red Deer-area midwives and also want to speak to obstetricians, gynecologists, nurse educators and doulas.

Most of all, it’s crucial for experienced parents to pass along what they know to parents in the next generation — many of whom were raised in smaller families and, thus, never learned how to care for younger siblings.

“It’s easy to forget that many of today’s young parents are not only relying on day care, etc., but grew up in it themselves,” said Manning.

In churches today, “we have second- and even some third-generation parents who honestly don’t know what sort of discipline is possible with young children or how to instill it. As the second-oldest of nine children I knew ... that discipline was possible and required only patience, consistence and the willingness to keep trying even on days when nothing seemed to be going right.”

Ashton Kutcher as Steve Jobs, left, and Josh Gad as Steve Wozniak in a scene from the film Jobs. Kutcher has said it was imperative that he personify, not parody, the well-documented mannerisms of Jobs, the Apple co-founder who died in 2011 of pancreatic cancer.

A half-finished Jobs ASHTON KUTCHER’S CAREFUL IMITATION OF APPLE VISIONARY ISN’T ENOUGH TO KEEP THIS BIOPIC INTERESTING

BY LINDA BARNARD SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE Jobs Two stars (out of four) Rated: 14A It would likely vex the egocentric Apple computer visionary and design guru Steve Jobs no end to hear this, but the best part of Jobs is not the title character. Rather it’s Josh Gad’s portrayal of engaging nerd and Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak that adds the often-missing heart and dramatic heft.

Ashton Kutcher clearly put Jobs under the microscope to mimic his ape-like, tippy-toe, popping walk and pursed-lip enigmatic smile. The Two and a Half Men star not only got the speech patterns and flowing hand gestures down, he spent a couple of day in hospital after suffering the debilitating effects of following Jobs’ bizarre fruitarian diet.

But the novelty of impersonation soon wears off to reveal Jobs the movie as little more than a made-for-TV-calibre biopic intended to help cement a kind of sainted legacy in a most superficial fashion,

At the Directed by Joshua Michael Stern (Swing Vote) and written by Matt Whitely in workmanlike style, Jobs takes us from Jobs’ college dropout days in 1971 to the iPod launch in 2001.

It’s a lot of ground of cover and Jobs suffers as a result as the filmmakers hop from scene to scene without offering insight into the reasons why Jobs became such a driven man, an isolated visionary who had no problems shuffling off those who showed him nothing but loyalty.

At an overlong 127 minutes, the film tests our patience in various ways with an overlong trippy acid-fueled scene and too-talky boardroom struggles that

stop whatever flow Jobs has.

A few scenes bring hints of the nature of Jobs the man but without explanation or context. It’s like scrolling through messages on an iPhone, yet never opening them.

Jobs’ demanding nature surfaces early as he butts heads with his boss at Atari in 1976 and Appleheads will drool over the scenes in the Jobs family garage as Jobs, Woz, Daniel Kottke (Lukas Haas) and a handful of others create the first Apple computer in an exciting blast of creativity.

Jobs’ self interest shows from even the earliest stages as he keeps the bulk of the profits from the first computer board’s creator and tech whiz, Wozniak.

Talk of stock prices at 19 cents will make audiences chuckle and the 1970s soundtrack fits nicely with the bellbottoms feel. Clearly making sure Jobs hits the right historical notes was high on the filmmakers’ list, as evidenced in a closing montage of the real characters beside the actors playing them.

We get glimpses of Jobs’ selfishness, hair-trigger temper and impatience with those who failed to share his vision. But it’s not until a late-night

meeting with Wozniak that the film shows some heart as Wozniak explains why he helped found the company he was now leaving.

For the first time, Wozniak voices his true feelings about Jobs. That the tech god could only reply to his painful soul-baring soliloquy by asking: “What do you want from me?” says more about Jobs that the previous 90 minutes of the film.

There is inspiration to be found here and messages about conviction and principles — if being principled means holding steadfastly to never being mediocre rather than the ethics of admitting paternity of his daughter, Lisa.

The filmmakers are not shy about portraying Jobs’ feet of clay but seeing more of the reasons behind what made this complex, often-infuriating genius behave as he did would have brought Jobs to a more satisfying place.

Instead, we have a film that can be described using a term that Jobs spits out with palpable distaste as “the worst thing you can say” about anything undertaken by Apple: “It’s fine.”

Actor injured during performance of troubled Spider-Man

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — One of the actors playing the comic book hero in the Broadway musical Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark was badly injured during a performance, a fresh reminder of the dangers facing performers in the injury-plagued show that cost $75 million and has endured plenty of offstage drama.

Daniel Curry, a graduate of the LaGuardia School of Performing Arts — the so-called “Fame” school — and who appeared in an episode of Smash and toured with the Man In The Mirror Michael Jackson Tribute tour, is making his Broadway debut. He is one of nine actors who play the costumed SpiderMan during each performance, leaping into the audience and swinging over the orchestra. He also understudied various other roles.

A spokesman for the musical says the actor suffered an injury during the Thursday night performance, which was immediately halted. The actor remained at Bellevue Hospital on Friday with a serious leg injury.

LOCAL

BRIEFS Rock band has local shows set The metal and classic rock sounds of Until Dawn will resound around Central Alberta this month.

The Fort McMurray band that’s shared stages with KISS, Korn and Billy Talent, is on its Alberta Horizon Crusade Tour, which includes a stop at Drumheller’s Loud as Hell Festival on Saturday, Aug. 24.

The night before, on Friday, the band known for intense guitar riffs and lively stage shows, will perform at Red Deer’s Slumland Theatre.

Fire officials said they responded to the Foxwoods Theatre on West 42nd Street shortly after 9 p.m. to treat a man whose leg got caught in equipment backstage.

The show’s spokesman, Rick Miramontez, said more information will be made available. A spokeswoman for the Actors’ Equity Association, a labour union that represents actors and stage managers, did not immediately comment on Friday.

Curry, who is in his 20s, was raised near Minneapolis and told The Star-Tribune in 2011 that he thirsted for a life performing in New York. His mother soon moved the family to the borough of Queens to make his hope to attend LaGuardia High School.

“I had these big dreams,” he said.

“I’ve always wanted to dance, to be on Broadway, and I’m just thankful for my mom for making that happen.”

Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark is Broadway’s most expensive show and has become one of its biggest hits after a rocky start, with six delays in its opening night, injuries to fellow actors, a shakeup that led to the firing of Julie Taymor, the show’s original direc-

tor, and critical drubbing.

One actor, Christopher Tierney, suffered a fractured skull, a fractured shoulder blade, four broken ribs and three broken vertebrae during a fall on Dec. 20, 2010; he made a triumphant return to the show.

A lead actress, Natalie Mendoza, suffered a concussion during the first preview performance and left the show. A stuntman, Richard Kobak, sued the producers, saying he suffered a concussion, whiplash and two holes in his knees.

The latest accident comes between two casting calls for a new Spider-Man. Actor Reeve Carney, who has been playing the musical’s title character and his alter ego Peter Parker since the show began previews in late 2010, will leave on Sept. 15, and casting calls were held in Los Angeles last week and are scheduled for New York on Monday.

On Thursday, Carney tweeted: “Please send your thoughts and prayers toward our @SpideyOnBway family tonight. We rise as one.”

The five-member group has an album coming out called Horizon, featuring the free download tune This Fallen Fortress (from PureGrainAudio.com).

For more information about Until Dawn’s Slumland Theatre show, call 403-307-3528.

Tickets to the 7:30 p.m. shows are $20 from the church office or from www.bashawcommunitytheatre.com.

Godspell on stage in Red Deer Godspell, the Broadway musical that puts a groovy spin on the Gospel of Matthew, will be presented in Red Deer this month.

The Bashaw Community Theatre is presenting this 1971 musical by Stephen Schwartz and John-Michael Tebelak on Friday and Saturday, Aug. 23 and 24, at the Gaetz Memorial United Church.

The song Day By Day from the stage production made it to No. 13 on the Billboard pop charts.

Quirky Downton Abbey merchandise arrives BRITISH HISTORICAL DRAMA RELEASES BOARD GAME, CLOTHING, HOMEWARES AND MORE TO FANS

THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Crouched behind a wall atop a Libyan rooftop, you take a peek and see your way is blocked by armed militia patrolling below.

What to do?

Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Blacklist, slated for release Aug. 20, offers you a variety of ways to deal with the problem.

As stealth operative Sam Fisher, you can lurk in the shadows, lure the bad guys out one by one and dispose of them. You can come out guns ablazing and take them all on. Or you can take the middle route and combine stealth with deadly force.

The made-in-Toronto Blacklist continues the evolution of the Splinter Cell franchise, which dates back to 2002. Once the essence of stealth gaming — Fisher was a ghost wearing trademark space-age goggles, shooting out lights and evading or disposing of enemies — the title now offers game play to suit different tastes.

There is the traditional “ghost” approach.

“The guy that doesn’t want to kill, doesn’t want to be seen,” explains Ubisoft Toronto creative director Max Beland.

At the other end of the spectrum is the assault mode — those who say “I’m Sam Fisher and I do what I want,” added Beland.

In the middle is the panther approach, a road map that surfaced in the previous game, Splinter Cell Conviction.

“That’s the guy that wants to kill people but he wants to do it superfast, super-quickly without being detected,” said Beland.

“If there’s four guys in a room, the lights turn off, the lights turn back on and four guys are dead. No one knows what happened. That’s the panther player.”

You are ranked according to your play style at the end of each mission, allowing you to upgrade your character and resources.

Blacklist also serves to “blur the lines between game modes,” according to Beland.

“One of the things that pisses me off as a gamer is when a game doesn’t respect my time,” he continued. “For example, you spend eight hours in the single-player campaign and then you start multiplayer and it’s from scratch.”

In Blacklist, your expertise follows you, no matter the mode.

This time, Fisher is in charge of Fourth Eche-

lon, taking on a shadowy terrorist group called The Engineers, which — at the behest of 12 rogue nations — is demanding that the U.S. pull its military from their countries.

A shopping list of terrorist strikes, with dates, comes with the threat.

The game, more than three years in the making, is the first from Ubisoft Toronto, located in a factory-like setting in west Toronto.

Another change sees Eric Johnson (Rookie Blue and Smallville) taking over from the iconic Michael Ironside as Fisher.

The switch is in part related to the move to using the leads in a full “performance capture” studio rather than just using an actor’s voice over someone else’s body. Now everything is captured at once.

Mellencamp’s sons face battery charge

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Rocker John Mellencamp’s two teenage sons face battery charges for allegedly punching and kicking a man during a fight that left the victim with serious facial injuries.

Monroe County prosecutors on Thursday charged 19-year-old Hud Mellencamp of Nashville, Ind., and 18-year-old Speck Mellencamp, of Bloomington, with one count each of battery resulting in serious bodily injury.

Ty A. Smith, 19, of Bloomington, faces the same charge in the early morning July 29 attack. The Herald-Times reports that Smith is the son of Indiana University baseball coach Tracy Smith and is a walkon for IU’s football team.

The Bloomington Police Department said in a statement late Thursday afternoon that investigators were trying to contact the Mellencamp brothers and Smith to make arrangements for them to surrender.

A probable cause affidavit states that Speck Mel-

lencamp punched 19-year-old Alexander Bucy in the face on the porch of Bucy’s Bloomington home because he thought Bucy had hit him earlier that evening at Bucy’s house party.

Hud Mellencamp and Smith joined in, and the trio allegedly “punched, kicked and stomped” Bucy, the document states.

When Bucy was able to get to his feet, Speck Mellencamp allegedly knocked him backward off the porch onto a sidewalk two to three feet below, where Speck Mellencamp punched Bucy until someone pulled him away. The Mellencamp brothers and Smith then allegedly ran from the scene.

Bucy suffered facial fractures and received stitches at a local hospital, according to the affidavit. It also says Bucy was referred to a plastic surgeon.

From ghost to guns ablazing, Blacklist widens scope of Splinter Cell

because they use them below stairs,” said Mylands spokeswoman Simone Barker. But in real life, “they do look extremely chic.”

Otneshopes Downton’s makers keep the products tasteful rather than tacky.

As a fan, she urges producers to “take a page from Lord and Lady Grantham’s pool of reserve” and limit the range of merchandise, “I hope they don’t over-market the show,” she said.

Neame — who heads Downton production company Carnival Films, owned by NBC Universal — isn’t worried.

“I don’t have a nervous attitude about the idea of merchandising,” said Neame, who personally approves every item of merchandise. “When a show is this global and this loved, I don’t see any problem with offering products to hardened fans who want to extend their relationship with the show that they love.

“We are businesspeople. We are running a business, which is to create intellectual property and to monetize it.

“We sell as many DVDs as we can, and we sell the show in as many countries as we can, and you know what, by doing that we get the money on the screen and it allows me to finance other shows that we want to make and employ people. So I’m not coy about the merchandising and its purpose.”

ture for the firm, a French claret reminiscent of those favoured by the early 20th-century British aristocracy.

Cele Otnes, a professor of marketing at the University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign, says the richly detailed world of Downton Abbey is key to viewers’ intense bond with the show.

She likens it to Mad Men — “It’s not just a television program, it’s really an esthetic” — and cites reported rises in sales of cravats, waistcoats and sherry as evidence of a Downton-driven appetite for Edwardian elegance.

“It’s that whole thing about presenting a lifestyle,” she said. “We get in the house, we get inside these characters’ lives. We see inside their bedrooms, their bathrooms, their kitchens. We can absorb ourselves not only in the story, which is compelling, but in the details of their lives.”

No detail is too small for emulation — down to the paint on the abbey walls.

Mylands, the London-based paint company that supplies the show with historically accurate pigments, recently began marketing two of its Downton tones to the public — Amber Gray, the colour of the downstairs kitchen overseen by cook Mrs. Patmore, and Empire Gray, which adorns Mr. Carson’s butler’s pantry.

These are not just any greys. They are Downton greys.

53774G26-H30

LONDON — Forget Mad Men modernism. This season’s style is all about Downton Abbey’s Edwardian opulence.

Millions around the world have been seduced by the strait-laced but stylish world of the British historical drama. Soon they’ll be able to take some of that style home, getting lips as soft as Lady Mary’s, wine inspired

by Lord Grantham’s favourite tipple — and even walls as grey as Mrs. Patmore’s kitchen.

Since it premiered in 2010, the series about the family and servants of a grand English house in the 1910s and 1920s has become a television juggernaut, sold to 220 territories around the world.

The program’s makers have arguably been slow to exploit the commercial potential of that popularity through merchandising, selling little more than DVD sets, wall calendars and desk diaries. But that is about to change. Along with the fourth season starting on British TV next month, and on PBS in January, comes a range of merchandise that includes a board game, homewares, clothes, beauty products, and even Downton wine.

All in the best possible taste, of course.

“We haven’t rushed into it,” executive producer Gareth Neame told The

Associated Press this week. “We don’t want to carpet bomb the retail sector.”

In keeping with the program’s posh-frothy image, the products being rolled out aim to be quirky rather than kitschy.

This fall, British retail chain Marks & Spencer will be selling a “Downton Abbey” beauty line, including soap, nail polish, lip gloss, lotion and scented candles. The items are whimsically packaged and adorned with quotations from the series, including the advice offered by Maggie Smith’s Dowager Countess of Grantham in the first episode: “No one wants to kiss a girl in black.”

“Downton” merchandising in the U.S. and Canada is handled by Knockout Licensing, which has struck deals for a jewelry range from Danbury Mint and Downton-themed Christmas ornaments from Kurt Adler — both going on sale later this year.

It also has a licensing agreement with figurine manufacturer Bradford Exchange, raising fans’ hopes for a range of “Downton” dolls — Scheming Thomas and Admirable Bates, perhaps.

North American fans also can soon drink Downton Abbey wine, marketed

by Wines That Rock, the California company behind Rolling Stones’ 40 Licks Merlot and Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon Cabernet Sauvignon.

BLACKBERRY CEO STANDS TO RECEIVE $55.6M IF OUSTED AFTER SALE TORONTO — BlackBerry (TSX:BB) chief executive Thorsten Heins stands to make as much as $55.6 million if the company is sold and he is ousted from the top job, according to securities filings.

Under the change of control provisions in his contract, Heins would receive $7.5 million in compensation for his salary and bonus, $72,000 in benefits and retirement savings and $48 million in equity awards, based on the company’s share price at the end of its latest financial year. BlackBerry announced this week that it had launched a review of “strategic alternatives,” a move that could potentially result in the sale of the company to a strategic buyer that could see it taken private.

The company’s strategic review is being headed

by Timothy Dattels, a BlackBerry director and a senior partner at TPG Capital, one of the world’s largest private equity firms.

MANUFACTURING CONTINUES TO STRUGGLE AS OUTPUT FALLS IN JUNE OTTAWA — Canada’s factory sector continues to largely miss out on the economic expansion, suffering an unexpected downturn in June that will likely drag down growth during the just past quarter. Statistics Canada reported Friday that manufacturing sales fell a 0.5 per cent to $48.2 billion during the month, falling short of the consensus estimate of a modest 0.3 per cent gain, and revised the previous two months down.

The news was worse in terms of volumes, which directly impacts economic output, as production fell 1.3 per cent. “Weakness in manufacturing sales in June is disappointing, particularly given that little of the weakness appears to have been the result of temporary disruptions due to severe flooding in Alberta in the month,” said economist Nathan Janzen of the Royal Bank, noting that in Alberta, sales rose 0.1 per cent.

Telecom future debated UNION CALLS FOR CROWN CORPORATION; GOVERNMENT LAUNCHES PRO-COMPETITION WEBSITE AIMED AT CONSUMERS

BY LUANN LASALLE THE CANADIAN PRESS A major union is calling on the Harper government to set up a Crown corporation that would be the country’s fourth major wireless carrier called “Canada Wireless” to potentially keep U.S. giant telecom Verizon from coming into the domestic cellphone market.

The Communications, Energy and Paperworkers Union of Canada is also calling for Ottawa to rescind what it perceives as advantages for Verizon Wireless, which has expressed interest in entering the Canadian market.

The union has thousands of members at BCE Inc.’s Bell Canada (TSX:BCE), one of Canada’s largest wireless carriers and a leading force behind a high-profile campaign to get the Harper government to change its current telecom policy.

“To get out of a crisis it’s important for a government to be able to think ’outside the box’ and setting up a public telco company would be a smart way to do just that,” union president Dave Coles said.

“If the government is intent on providing consumers with a fourth major carrier in each market it should acquire one of the struggling small telcos, reserve some of the available

700-megahertz spectrum for public use and establish ’Canada Wireless’ as a Crown Corporation,” Coles said.

The Conservative government has shown no interest in changing its policy of more competition in the wireless industry and launched a website on Friday aimed at winning over consumers.

“We’re putting consumers first and standing up for choice in Canada’s wireless industry — are you with us?” the website asks.

The government website said it has a policy of “pro-competition” and noted since 2008, the average cost of wireless services for Canadians has decreased

by nearly 20 per cent.

Telecom analyst Troy Crandall called the public duelling “a bit ridiculous.”

“I don’t know who’s worse — the telecom companies or the government,” said Crandall, of investment firm MacDougall, MacDougall and MacTier in Montreal.

“It’s unsettling to investors and that’s where our concern is,” adding that foreign investors will be encouraged to stay away from investing in Canadian telecoms with these public battles.

THE NEXT GENERATION OF LEADERS

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Conrad Black’s long-standing legal battle with the Ontario Securities Commission will continue in October, but the former media mogul’s lawyer says he’s considering a request to have the proceedings stayed.

During a brief hearing Friday morning, lawyer Peter Howard said the proceedings were “entirely unnecessary” because a similar case involving Black has already been dealt with in the United States.

Black and the U.S. Securities Commission recently came to a settlement, with Black agreeing to pay US$4.1 million in restitution and abide by limitations on his business activities.

“Why are we spending the OSC’s money on an unnecessary hearing?” Howard said.

However, the OSC said it plans to use the U.S. case to argue for similar restrictions on Black and his co-accused — former company executives Peter Atkinson and John Boultbee — in Ontario.

Jed Friedman, a lawyer for the OSC, told the hearing that Ontario investors should have the same protections as those in the U.S. A confidential pre-trial hearing was then set for Oct. 21.

Black, former head of the Hollinger media empire, was not at the hearing but his former colleagues were present via teleconference.

The OSC alleges directors and officers of Hollinger Inc. and Hollinger International engaged in “a scheme” to line their pockets with company proceeds through a complicated system of “non-competition” payments.

The OSC’s case deals with many of the same issues covered by U.S. court and regulatory decisions.

Marketing firm setting up office in Red Deer

BY HARLEY RICHARDS ADVOCATE BUSINESS EDITOR A Calgary marketing company is preparing to set up shop in Red Deer, with the local office expected to open within six months.

NetGains Marketing is a fullservice marketing firm that was founded by company president James Rivett in 2006. Central Alberta businessman Kris Fleckenstein became a partner on May 1.

“We have quite a few clients in Red Deer, but we don’t have a location yet,” said Fleckenstein of the expansion.

He added that a move into Regina is also being considered.

Fleckenstein expects NetGains Marketing to be used by small and medium-sized businesses in Central Alberta — those with about $1 million to $10 million in annual revenues.

“The businesses that are struggling with social media or they’re struggling with a co-ordinated or an integrated brand strategy.”

Non-profit organizations should be another source of clients, he said.

“They often think such services are out of their grip, but I think there are a lot of different ways that they can get into marketing services.”

Originally from Medicine Hat, Fleckenstein obtained a management degree and worked for a national accounting firm before joining Red

Deer’s Strata Energy Services Inc. as manager of finance in 2005. Two years later he bought Parcels Trucking, a Stettlerbased tank and pressure truck service business.

In 2010, Fleckenstein helped found Accede Energy Services, a diversified energy company based in Blackfalds.

He expects to focus on Accede, where he is vice-president and chief financial officer, but said he’ll likely assist NetGains Marketing staff when it comes to developing strategy and serving larger clients.

Fleckenstein has taught marketing at Red Deer College, and helped some small businesses and non-profit organizations with their marketing needs. hrichards@reddeeradvocate. com

U.S. single-family construction, permits fall in July

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — U.S. developers broke ground on homes at a faster pace in July. But the rise was all due to apartment construction, which is typically volatile. By contrast, builders began work on fewer singlefamily homes — the bulk of the market — and sought fewer permits to build them.

Friday’s report from the Commerce Department suggests that home building is maintaining its recovery but might be starting to be restrained by higher mortgage rates.

Builders began work on houses and apartments at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 896,000 in July, the department said. That was up 6 per cent from June, though below a recent peak of more than 1 million in March. Construction began on 26 per cent more apartments but declined 2.2 per cent

for single-family houses.

The dip in single-family starts comes after other measures of the housing market have flattened or declined. It may signal that higher loan rates have begun to weigh on housing, which has otherwise steadily recovered since earlier last year.

Mortgage applications by potential homebuyers have fallen 15 per cent since the end of April. Signed contracts to buy homes slipped in June after reaching a six-year high in May. The average rate on the 30-year loan was 4.4 per cent this week — a full percentage point higher than in early May. Mortgage rates spiked in June after Chairman Ben Bernanke indicated that the Federal Reserve could slow its bond purchases later this year. The bond purchases have kept long-term interest rates low, encouraging more borrowing and spending.

“There’s no doubt that rising

rates have had an effect,” said Dan Greenhaus, chief global strategist at BTIG, an institutional brokerage.

Some smaller homebuilders have said it’s become more difficult for them to get loans to build. They also say that limited supplies of finished lots and a lack of skilled workers have become barriers to faster construction.

Last month, D.R. Horton Inc., the nation’s largest homebuilder, said its sales pace declined in May, when rates began to move up.

Still, Greenhaus suggested that the effect on housing so far has been far less than what economists might have expected after a 1-point rise in the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate.

Others note that demand for new homes remains strong even as supply is tight. That trend has pushed up prices and should encourage more construction.

“Should we be concerned?

Not yet,” said Patrick Newport, a housing economist at IHS Global Insight.

“There is just a big gap between supply and demand right now, and I think higher mortgage rates won’t cancel that out.”

Over the past 12 months, the home construction data still look strong: builders broke ground on 15 per cent more single-family homes in July than a year earlier. And including apartments, housing starts have surged 21 per cent in the past year.

Applications for permits for future home construction also rose in July, though solely because of apartments. Permits rose 2.7 per cent to 943,000, thanks to a 13.5 per cent jump in apartment permits.

Permits for single-family homes dipped 2 per cent but are still near the five-year high reached in June.

MARKETS CLOSE TORONTO — The Toronto stock market closed at its highest level in nearly a month on Friday as concerns over oil supplies pushed up shares of Canadian energy companies.

The S&P/TSX composite index lifted 32.40 points to 12,736.92 —an increase of about

1.6 per cent since last week and its highest close since July 23.

The Canadian dollar dropped 0.33 of a cent to 96.72 cents US after Statistics Canada reported that manufacturing sales fell in June for the fourth time in six months, dropping 0.5 per cent to $48.2 billion.

BRIEFS

High Arctic’s net earnings down High Arctic Energy Services Inc. (TSX: HWO) has reported net earnings of $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30.

That’s down 63 per cent from $5.7 million for the same period in 2012.

Revenue for the quarter was $32.9 million, up 11 per cent from $29.6 million. Earnings per share were four cents, as compared with 12 cents a year ago.

“In spite of a prolonged spring breakup in Canada, which resulted in lower activity levels compared to the prior year, the corporation was able to increase both year-over-year consolidated revenue and EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) in the second quarter due to the strong performance of our PNG (Papua New Guinea) operations,” said Bruce Thiessen, High Arctic’s CEO. “Despite the challenges inherent in working in PNG, our business there continues to grow and we see long-term opportunities continuing to develop in the country.”

OSC: Revised statement Now that the lawsuits in the United States have wrapped up, regulators in Canada are moving ahead with their own proceedings to determine whether Black and his former colleagues should be banned from buying or trading in securities and from becoming directors of public companies in Ontario.

In November, it will be a decade since Black agreed to resign as chief executive of his main U.S. company after an internal review accused him and others of improperly diverting money from Hollinger International to Hollinger Inc. Hollinger International was a U.S. public company, under the jurisdiction of the Securities and Exchange Commission, while Hollinger Inc. is a Canadian company under the OSC’s purview.

Most of the OSC’s original allegations against Hollinger and its senior executives and officers, filed in March 2005, were removed in a revised version issued July 12.

The revised OSC statement replaces pages of allegations from the OSC staff with a summary of U.S. proceedings against Black and two of his former senior executives. However, the OSC enforcement staff reserved the right to bring forward further allegations.

September copper gained 2.6 cents to US$3.36 a pound.

Financial stocks also traded heavily, rising 0.1 per cent just over a week before Canada’s biggest banks report their quarterly results. Royal Bank shares rose 50 cents to $64.36.

In the U.S., the Commerce Department reported that builders began work last month on houses and apartments at a faster pace. The seasonally adjusted annual rate of starts was up six per cent to 896,000.

On Wall Street, the Dow continued its decline, logging the worst two-day session since June, dropping 30.72 points to 15,081.47, the Nasdaq slid 3.34 points to 3,602.78 and the S&P 500 pulled back 5.49 points to 1,655.83.

Retailers in the United States continue to be pressured, with department store Nordstrom cutting its profit outlook for the year late Thursday. The company’s restraint added to bleak outlooks from Wal-Mart and Macy’s earlier this week, which have raised doubts that shoppers will spend enough to give the tepid U.S. economy a boost.

WEYBURN, Sask. — Workers at the only unionized Walmart in Canada have voted in favour of decertification.

The votes, cast by employees at the Saskatchewan store nearly three years ago, were counted after a decision earlier this week by the Supreme Court.

The United Food and Commercial Workers’ union wanted to appeal a labour board decision regarding accusations of unfair labour practices, but the high court refused to hear it.

Walmart spokesman Andrew Pelletier says there were 51 votes cast against the union and five in favour of keeping it.

He says a formal order to decertify the union will be issued on Wednesday.

The union has said that if it lost the vote, it

He said New Zealand’s government bought a small Internet provider in 2007 to help strengthen that country’s telecom sector and Saskatchewan’s SaskTel is a Crown corporation.

Coles also said a Crown telecommunications company would hire Canadians, continue to build out the industry and return the surplus to the public.

Bell, Rogers (TSX:RCI.B) and Telus (TSX:T) have launched their own media blitz. The big telecoms and unions representing their workers say Verizon would gain an upper hand in Canada’s wireless market through existing rules for new players that would give the U.S. giant an unfair advantage in the upcoming wireless spectrum auction.

Under the current rules, Verizon would be able to buy two of the four prime blocks of spectrum — radio waves that operate cellphone networks — that are up for auction while Bell, Rogers and Telus can buy only one each.

The Globe and Mail has reported that Verizon is putting off a potential acquisition of Wind Mobile and Mobilicity and contemplating participation in the next auction for wireless spectrum.

If Verizon decides to participate in the auction, rules prevent it from continuing to negotiate acquisition deals until after the January auction.

cusing on how the U.S. economy will influence timing for the U.S. Federal Reserve’s winding down of its massive bond-buying program. Many expect the Fed will make its first move next month, though the exact timing is still uncertain.

The $85-billion-a-month monetary stimulus has been seen by many as one of the reasons that Wall Street has touched new highs in recent months.

In other corporate developments, BlackBerry (TSX:BB) shares gained 3.9 per cent, or 44 cents, to $10.86. Chief executive Thorsten Heins stands to make as much as $55.6 million if the company is sold and he is ousted from the top job, according to securities filings.

DESIGN

Past tense aside, an important aspect of patterned bedding is its ability to make a big statement in an otherwise plainly attired room. It was this logic that crept to the forefront of the thinking as Colin and Justin conspired their new collection.

As much as Colin and Justin’s retro collection was designed for students and firsttime homemakers, it’ll also serve as a useful proposition for empty nesters faced with restyling their kids’ space after their scholastic departure. Add a spot of Colin and Justin Home Union Jack style or a twist of Retro Radio chic, and that newly vacant bedroom will become the perfect hang out.

Damask uncorked How much time we spend thinking about the colour of our living room or what tile to put in the bathroom varies greatly according to our interests, budgets, and partners.

But I wager that at some point almost everybody has a personal experience with decorating, and an “ah ha” moment when they discover a piece of furniture or a paint colour or a fabric design that defines their passion.

DEBBIE I have a good friend who has never had the desire to TRAVIS spend much time thinking about home décor. In fact, her home is lovely, but art and furniture have been collected over the years because she loves their look or feel and it all goes together or not.

This is the story of her decorating “ah ha” moment, when a chance encounter with a stunning wallpaper inspired her to delve into the decorating world for the first time, and get that look for her home.

It started at a dinner party — and this is not as unusual as it sounds. Major events have been spurred on by a good soiree — novels written, plays produced, political mayhem begun. The inspiring paper was hanging on the wall of the guest bathroom and Cecile thought, “Gorgeous!”

Back home, she determined to learn more about the pattern that had made such a remarkable impression.

Cecile searched the Internet and discovered damask has a rich history.

Damask is named after the 12th century weavers of Damascus, who were known for the intense hues and high quality of their yarns (mostly silk). The intricate design was produced by crossing single strands of yarn to form a raised pattern. We still value the fine, handmade quality of damask in bedspreads, tablecloths, draperies as well as fabulous clothing.

Damask wallpaper patterns are copied from the original fabric designs.

There are papers available that show the pattern flat, and the more tactile papers, called flocked wallpapers, that have a raised design that feels like velvet. Traditional black and white and the subtle monotones have always been favourites, but more colours are now appearing that bridge modern and classic styles.

Cecile has a large extended family and does lots of casual entertaining. Her spacious dining room is home to an eclectic collection of art gathered over the years when on holidays. There’s a sculptured heart from Florence, a French Canadian oil painting, a Tuscan scene, tall vases from Provence and a table runner from India.

Was it possible to add another feature, especially one as strong and captivating as a wall of damask?

Cecile didn’t give it a moment’s thought. This is where her focal wall was going to be.

A search for damask wallpaper led her to Graham and Brown’s website and the choices were all glorious. Their Kinky Vintage pattern in the plummy colourway called Bordeaux Bordello was perfect.

The product description said it all: Marrakesh meets Marie Antoinette in a flirtatious fusion of east snogs west tactile indulgence. And Kinky Vintage feels as good as it looks with its flocked texture.

TOP: After photo — Graham and Brown’s Kinky Vintage damask wallpaper redefines a family’s classic dining room.

BOTTOM: Before photo — Is there a place for a feature wall in this beautifully furnished dining area?

When the paper was hung, Cecile was delighted to see that the entire main floor was transformed. Just one wall, but you can see it from the kitchen and hall and it draws you in. The colour and texture is so alluring that you have to go up and touch it. Other than the wallpaper, the room remained the same — the drapes, paint colour, art work and accessories cheer each other on and welcome the stunning new feature wall.

Is her “ah ha” moment and sojourn into the realm of decorating destined to be repeated?

Thoughts have now turned to the bedroom and a

feature wall behind the bed. The story continues, as all decorating tales do.

Insulating an old, brick house Question: How can I insulate the walls of my double-brick house?

The place was built in 1950. One contractor says he can drill holes in the plaster and blow insulation into the space between the bricks, but another says this won’t work.

Answer: Even though it’s summer, boosting home heating efficiency is still STEVE worth planning for.

MAXWELL And though it’s certainly possible to drill holes and try to blow insulation into your walls, chances are the space is choked with hardened bits of mortar that fell into the space as the bricks went up.

This would prevent loose insulation from getting into every nook and cranny, and even if it did, moisture would probably be a problem.

Bricks aren’t good at keeping rainwater out, especially old bricks.

That said, injecting slowQuestion: What’s the best rise foam into the wall cavity way to build a deck so it lasts? holds a lot more promise.

This material gives off heat as it cures, allowing you to use an infrared camera to see where the foam has and has not crept in.

Another approach involves applying two inches of extruded polystyrene foam to the inside or outside face of exterior walls.

This is a big job involving tricky finishing work around windows and doors, but it does work. Trouble is, it only makes sense if you’re planning to install new siding on the outside or drywall on the inside.

This is why it’s vital to design your deck to reduce woodto-wood contact areas as much as possible. Will your design include beams? Most do.

Use solid six-by-six or eightby-eight pressure-treated timbers instead of spiking together several two-by-eights, as is usually done.

Also, wherever deck boards meet end-to-end, install two joists side-by-side with a oneinch space between them. This allows you to keep the ends of deck boards 1/8-inch apart, so water trickles away instead of being held between vulnerable end grain surfaces, promoting rot. Details like these are important enough that I’ve written a book about it.

Also, it’s essential that you use hot-dipped galvanized, stainless steel or ACQ-rated fasteners to secure today’s pressure-treated wood. The chemicals used to inhibit rot cause ordinary nails and screws to corrode quickly.

Retrofit metal roof Question: Can metal roofing be applied directly over old shingles?

Answer: Yes, if the existing shingles and roof are flat and reasonably sound, it’s OK to install metal roofing on top.

If the old roof is wavy and uneven, you may need to install strips of wood across the roof, shimmed to level things up.

Metal roofing is an attractive, long-lasting option. The first thing to go bad with metal roofing is the appearance of the finish, so you should definitely check out the warranty before you buy.

Clearly, glass brings beauty and function to decor SERVICES Most people’s favorite decorating tools are those that score a perfect 10 in the categories of form and function.

Glass delivers on both counts by adding brilliance and beauty to home decor while also serving as a reliable workhorse, helping out with lots of tasks around the home.

I fell under glass’s power several years ago when I first started experimenting with ways to make daily life a more lovely and luxurious experience.

Nothing helps turn the mundane into magic like glass containers and accents.

Here are some suggestions:

Glass compotes make everything magical A girl can’t have enough glass compotes.

These simple but supremely stylish bowls on a pedestal are an essential when you entertain or just want to elevate the status of nearly anything in your home.

A few weeks ago, I hosted a gathering of Dan’s old law-school buddies. Since I had decided to cheat and serve just a few simple appetizers instead of a fancy spread of culinary delights, I needed to make them look as amazing as possible.

Thank heaven I had not listened to myself earlier this spring when I was caught up in a cleaning frenzy, purging my home of everything I didn’t think was necessary.

When I was about to weed out my glass pieces, a little voice reminded me that there was nothing like a glass compote when you want to make the simple look sublime.

Photo by ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES

Glass domes add brilliance and beauty to your home’s decor, because they allow you to beautifully showcase daily items The key to using compotes to serve food and drinks is to collect a wide variety of heights and sizes so you can create a multidimensional display, like the one I pulled together in a jiff on the drinks table in my entry.

The compotes themselves are so delicate and pretty that they make the simple food service seem luxurious.

I also like to use glass compotes to hold everyday items. For example, I have one in my bedroom filled with jewelry.

You could place one in a powder room to display soaps or tip towels. If you’re a crafter, use compotes to collect pins or spools of thread.

For your home office, use compotes to corral office supplies, filling them with everyday items like paper clips and stamps.

Glass jars hold everything in style I have very limited space on my kitchen countertops, so I’ve determined that everything that wins a spot in this coveted spot needs to be as pretty as it is practical.

Not surprisingly, glass jars have earned a place of prominence because they allow me to showcase daily stuff beauti-

fully. A plain glass jar on my counter holds the cats’ food. Somehow, simple glass jars make even kitty kibble look beautiful. I also keep my dish soap in a pretty glass jar, much to Dan’s dismay.

He thinks it’s annoyingly impractical.

In fact, I’m pretty sure that if I died tomorrow, the first thing he would do would be to toss the decorative jar and put dish soap directly on the counter. Woe to him, I do this same thing all over my kitchen, pouring his olive oil into pretty decanters and vinegars into unique jars. (Honestly, after nearly three decades of dealing with me, the fight is almost out of him — he hardly ever grumbles anymore!)

I also use glass containers in my bathrooms.

You’ll find apothecary jars filled with cotton balls, decanters holding mouthwash and compotes with daily grooming items like Q-tips or soap.

Pitchers and glasses make tabletops more picturesque When my way-tooexpansive collection of glassware is not in use for entertaining, I like to use it for daily decorat-

ing.

I used a collection of glasses to hold the flatware Dan and I use for quick meals in our kitchen.

The silverware goes straight from the dishwasher to this pretty trio of glasses, where it looks beautiful as it waits to be used.

I’m of the school of thought that dishware is artwork, so when we renovated our kitchen, I dedicated one wall of this small space to a bank of glass-front cabinets. I fill them with an assortment of glasses and dishes, arranged simply but beautifully so I can drink in their sparkling grace as I zoom through the kitchen on my way to work.

Do you have a way to put your glassware and glass serving pieces out for public view when they are not in use?

Try working them into displays in your home, like holding a snippet of garden flowers on your mantel or votive candles

on your kitchen windowsill, or standing by the bedside in your bedroom to quench a midnight thirst.

Glass decanters are so glamorous, aren’t they?

Dress up a coffee table or side table with a tray holding a crystal decanter and two regal glasses.

Even if you never intend to use them for drinks, they look amazing.

Glass accents add to everyday decor My favorite way to decorate with glass accent pieces is to intersperse them throughout my home, winding them through displays.

A decanter and glasses are a perfect focal point for a display on a coffee-table ottoman.

And an empty glass apothecary jar adds balance to a bold display on the side table.

Hurricanes are another of my favorite goto decorating tools. They

are fabulous for seasonal decorating because you can fill them with all sorts of treasures, like colorful gourds, pine cones or green apples.

On the center of a dining table, I like to fill a cluster of smaller vases with fresh blooms, cut short.

You can also perch little vases filled with a single flower atop each place setting. Also, thread them through seasonal mantel makeovers.

And they are perfect for a little pick-me-up treatment on a kitchen windowsill, holding a bloom or two.

I’ve been carrying apothecary jars for years at Nell Hill’s because these classic pieces are ideal for storage and decorating.

I love their graceful lines, regal pedestals and little lids that hold the treasures within. If you want simple beauty in a display, leave the apothecary jar empty so the focus is on the graceful curves of the glass.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS JOHNSTOWN, Pa. — Everybody agrees that a 19-year-old Pennsylvania man dressed up as a ninja and lurked near homes, but they disagree whether that’s a good idea — or legal.

Todd Kapcsos, of Johnstown, was in court Wednesday to waive his right to a preliminary hearing on charges of loitering, prowling at night and disorderly conduct. Police said Kapcsos frightened some elderly residents who saw him sneaking around while carrying a black baseball bat and wearing a hooded sweatshirt, another long shirt, a mask and a pair of gloves — all of them black. He contends he was just trying to help police catch bad guys.

“I dressed up in all black, snuck around, went through bushes,” Kapcsos said. He claimed to be practicing “ninja moves” including rolling into a ball so he’d appear to be a rock hidden in the shadows.

“There’s not enough police officers,” he said. “The community should do something rather than sit back. But one neighbour, Chris Trevino said, “It looked more like he was trying to break into homes, not like he was gonna be a ninja and save the world.”

That night, July 15, Trevino saw Kapcsos “running like a ninja, not like a normal person jogging. He was going back and forth creeping.”

So she called the police.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You can develop deeper insights into how to create further trust with others. You can restore some current injuries by being merciful while being extremely sensitive to humankind and seeking peace. Make peace with your appearance.

Dear Harlan; I am a soonto-be 30-year-old female who feels ready to be in a relationship after a three-year sabbatical from relationships due to a five-and-a-half-year relationship that ended terribly.

I have very strong religious beliefs, and I find myself less tolerant of games. It’s hard to find a man who is interested in having more than just sex and who is willing to respect my beliefs.

I have tried online dating, but I have met more jerks HARLAN than I care to count.

COHEN I refuse to settle, and I don’t want to make the same mistakes and repeat the heartbreak. I am getting so overwhelmed — when did sleeping with people who you’ve never met become normal? I feel another sabbatical coming on. — Losing Hope Dear Losing Hope; You call it a sabbatical; I call it a fancy name for hiding.

Let’s be honest: Horny men aren’t the problem.

You’re going on a sabbatical because you don’t want to get hurt again.

You’re putting all men in the same category because it’s easier to categorize men than give them a chance.

Giving them a chance means getting hurt. And you are in no place to get hurt. Instead of blaming all men for doing something wrong, figure out what you’re doing wrong. You might be looking in the wrong places, giving off bad energy or waiting for another man to wrong you.

Here’s the hopeful part: There are men who want to love you and share their lives with you. I’m 100 percent certain. Hiding won’t help you meet them.

Work on yourself. Face your fears. Surround yourself with people who can support and help you.

Change you. Then dating will change. Then, it will be safer to fall in love without getting devastated.

Dear Harlan; My girlfriend and I just moved into a long-distance relationship.

I’m having a hard time coping. She is a bubbly kind of girl and has some male friends around her. I grow jealous because of this and eventually end up shouting at her. She has to convince me daily that she only loves me.

Also, there’s one male friend of hers who is showering a lot of affection on her. I am afraid that since I’m fighting with her all the time, she may eventually get frustrated and make some move on him.

It’s just been a month, and I already see our relationship turning sour. I really love her a lot, and I don’t want to lose her. What should I do? — Far Away Dear Far Away; I think you want her to break up with you.

Why? Once she dumps you, you’ll stop worrying about her finding someone better — because her finding someone better is your greatest fear.

You don’t think you’re good enough. If you did, you wouldn’t be an insecure, annoying and controlling boyfriend.

What are you lacking? What don’t you have? Figure it out. Fix what makes you not good enough, and accept that she loves you for the good and bad.

SHE LOVES YOU! (Sorry to shout.) What she doesn’t love is this behavior. Want to salvage this?

Get a life. Take on a physical, professional or personal challenge. Pour your heart into a project. Learn to be happy without her.

Until you can find happiness outside of the relationship, you will be a miserable, controlling, jealous boyfriend who will drive his girlfriend into the arms of another man.

Hey Harlan; I’m going to college in a few weeks. I was assigned my roommate and have tried to contact her in several ways, but haven’t gotten any response at all! This makes me nervous. I’ll be moving in with a complete stranger! Help! Where do I go from here?

— Nervous Hey, Nervous; Do one thing — take care of you.

Have a plan in place for how you’ll find friends and people to meet outside your room. Assume your roommate is out of town, dealing with personal issues, changing plans, in jail or never got your messages. Focus on you and make your roommate less important.

Dear Harlan; I’m a criminal-defense attorney in my 50s, and I’m concerned about my 19-year-old daughter.

She’s gifted, has always been on the dean’s list and will have a bachelor’s in psychology. I’m trying to be supportive about her recent desire to become a police officer.

She has a 23-year-old boyfriend who just obtained a degree in family social services. They’ve been together for a year. He has an apartment with two male roommates. To my disappointment, my daughter spends at least half her time at his place.

He does not drink, and she seems to be happy with him. He’s continuing to work his full-time, bluecollar job until he can save enough to go for a master’s degree.

I’ve seen him about six to eight times. Two of those times were full weekends at our lake house, one of which just transpired. He has never demonstrated any interest in anyone else.

When in our company, he says very little and is absorbed strumming his guitar. The only thing he’s really offered about himself is that he “knows way too much information” about his mother, and she misses him and his sister (also at college) and she would be shocked to see the fish he caught (my daughter put the bait on for him — he hates worms).

Also, the cross tattoo on his arm has to do with a “dark period” in his life, but he does not regard Jesus Christ as his savior.

Rather than go target shooting with my husband and our male friend, he chose to go to antiques stores with me, the wife of our friend and our daughter.

In short, I think this guy has major issues and is dragging my daughter down, but she doesn’t realize it. The matter is likely complicated by her statement that she “regards her sexuality as precarious.”

I am beside myself — and do acknowledge that the entire notion of a “spectrum” when it comes to gender preference is extremely foreign to me in every way. It seems to me that they may both be gay or bisexual, and that he has some sort of major depression issue to boot.

What do you think I should do? — Beside Myself Dear Beside Myself; He’s not your dream man. But he’s not your man.

Here’s the good news — your sexually ambiguous daughter brought her shy, college-educated, possibly bisexual boyfriend to your lake house for another weekend.

She confided in you, spent time with you and opened up to you. That’s a gift. Push back and she may pull away. Trust her judgment. Stay close to her.

Make sure she isn’t being abused, manipulated or hurt. Talk to your spiritual leader or someone who will help you vent. Make sure your daughter continues to be happy. Then, wait for her to come to you.

She’ll find you when she needs you.
