RCMP Insp. Brendan Fitzpatrick speaks yesterday

in Sparwood, B.C. Inset photo is of suspect Randall Hopley.

LARRY MACDOUGAL/THE CANADIAN PRESS; INSET: THE CANADIAN PRESS

Kidnap suspect arrestedFather of B.C. boy who was kidnapped says he was relieved when he heard of the arrest

and has already forgiven Randall Hopley ‘He’s a man that needs help,’ Paul Hebert says

The man arrested yesterday onkidnapping and child abductioncharges in the disappearance ofthree-year-old Kienan Hebert wasfound hiding in an old mining cab-in in southwestern Alberta, hisscent picked up by an astute policedog.

Randall Hopley, 46, wasarrested in a remote area nearCrowsnest Pass, a short driveaway from Kienan’s home inSparwood, B.C.

“It doesn’t get any better thanthis,” a smiling Insp. BrendanFitzpatrick told a newsconference.

Kienan vanished nearly aweek ago from his two-storeyhouse, and it was there that hemysteriously reappeared thispast Sunday.

The boy’s disappearanceprompted a massive searcharound the home, an AmberAlert that eventually spannedtwo provinces and days ofbreathless headlines across thecountry as the public and Kien-an’s family hoped he would befound safe.

Fitzpatrick said a tip ledpolice to an area near CrowsnestLake, not far from a local bible

camp. Fitzpatrick said the Moun-ties arrived Monday night, aperimeter was set up and policedogs began combing the area.

By yesterday morning, thedogs had reached a set of aban-doned mining cabins.

“As one (of the dog handlers)knocked on the door, the dogindicated that there waspossibly some activity, and thedog master and the police dogpursued that and it resulted inMr. Hopley being arrested in ashort chase,” said Fitzpatrick.

Hopley was arrested for kid-napping and abducting a childunder 14, said Fitzpatrick.THE CANADIAN PRESS

In 2008, Hopley pleaded guilty tobreak and enter and wassentenced to 18 months in jail.

Cougar foundhiding in a tree

100Police reportthe cougar

came within about 100metres of witnessesyesterday.

It was one of the biggestmoments in their sportingcareers and not one of thefans in the crowd werecheering for the Calgary-area men when theyachieved it.

Silence fell over thecrowd at the NBA 3-on-3Tournament national finalsin Halifax as the last shotdropped, giving the Calgar-ians the win over thehometown team, 21-19.

“Being the underdogagainst the home team waskind of fun,” said Troy Ged-lam, captain of the team.

Going into the competi-tion, Gedlam, 38, said heknew they were underdogsbecause they were mucholder than other teamscompeting.

“We are not very big, weare kind of old, we don’tlook like basketball play-ers, so people don’t take usserious,” said Kelly Lund-gren, 31.

Despite appearances,the Troy-built team, con-sisting of Gedlam, Lund-gren, Kevin O’Reilly, 29,and Jeff Price, 25, has been

playing 3-on-3 tourna-ments for the past sevenyears.

“Our biggest advantageis our chemistry,” Lund-

gren said. All four men played bas-

ketball in either college oruniversity but agree thatwinning this national title

was the sweetest. “It is not too often you

get to win something withthe word ‘nationals’ in it,”O’Reilly said.

Group of ‘angels’ save crash victim’s life

BROADCASTING

Get rid ofloud TVads: CRTCCanada’s broadcastershave a year to turn downthe volume on their TVads..

The Canadian Radio-television and Telecom-municationsCommission has ruledthat commercials areindeed annoyinglyloud, and will givebroadcasters until next

September to do some-thing about it.

They got help in theverdict from more than7,000 Canadians whoresponded with a re-sounding “yes” to thequestion it posed inFebruary whether theythought ads were tooloud.

The commission says2009’s internationalstandard for measuringand controlling televi-sion signals will applyto minimize fluctua-tions in loudness be-tween shows andcommercials.THE CANADIAN PRESS

CHRIS GARFF/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The bystanders had to actquickly. A motorcyclist hadjust collided with a car andwas pinned beneath theflaming wreckage.

Disregarding their ownsafety, they lined up on oneside of the car. And slowly,they managed to lift theroughly 1,800-kilogram carjust high enough for onerescuer to pull BrandonWright to safety.

They are being called“heroes” and “angels”--their few minutes of hero-ics was captured on videoand has gone viral on theInternet.

“I'm just very thankfulfor everyone that helpedme out,” Wright told TheAssociated Press bytelephone from his hospi-tal bed. “They saved mylife.”

Most of those whohelped then scattered.

“Every one of those peo-ple put their lives indanger,” Assistant PoliceChief Jeff Curtis said,adding that “you can onlyspeculate what theoutcome would have beenif they hadn't lifted thatcar.”

At a hospital news con-ference yesterday, Wright'suncle, Tyler Riggs, recount-ed what Wright told hisfamily about Monday's acci-dent.

The crash happenednear Utah State Universityin Logan, north of Salt Lake

City. Wright was headed tostudy at a computer lab,Riggs said. The BMW waspulling out of a parking lot.

Tire and skid marks onthe highway showed thatWright laid the bike downand slid along the road be-fore colliding with the car,Assistant Police Chief JeffCurtis said.

Riggs said Wright triedto protect himself by layinghis bike down.

The bike hit the car'shood and bounced to theground, while Wright, whowas not wearing helmet,slid under the car and thenboth vehicles burst intoflames, Curtis said.

The video, shot byuniversity staffer ChrisGarff who had seen thesmoke, shows a crowdgathering around the burn-ing wreckage as flamesshoot into the air.

Some of the rescuers arewearing construction hel-mets and safety vests, oth-ers sport school backpacksand at least one police offi-cer is in the crowd. Theyquickly place their handson the car and start to rockit until it tilts up.

Once the car is on itswheels, a constructionworker in a hardhat and alime green t-shirt can beseen dragging a spread-ea-gled Wright from underthe car.

Two officers then movein with fire extinguisher. A

John Baird says he’sworked with the Toronto-area MP for a long time andhe still trusts him, despitethe flirtations involvingDechert and an employeeof a state-run news agencylinked to Chinese intelli-gence.

“Listen, I think the gov-ernment has spoken to this,Mr. Dechert has spoken tothis, I have spoken to this,”Baird said yesterday. “I havenothing really additional.”

Baird refused furthercomments on the matter.

Last week, Dechert ac-knowledged sendingamorous notes to journalist

Shi Rong, who works forthe Xinhua news agency,linked to China’s intelli-gence agencies. He insistedthe relationship was “inno-cent.”

“The person is a journal-ist whom I have come toknow as a friend. I met herwhile doing Chinese-lan-guage media communica-tions,” Dechert said in astatement.

“These emails are flirta-tious, but the friendship re-mained innocent andsimply that — a friend-ship.”

The flirtatious emails,distributed anonymouslyto almost 250 recipientslast week, date to 2010.

Dechert had been parlia-mentary secretary to theminister of justice sinceMarch 2010.THE CANADIAN PRESS

Driver makes fatal miscalculation A bus driver gambled and tried to rush across railroad tracks yesterday despite abarrier, bells and flashing lights, setting off a chain-reaction collision with twotrains that killed 11 people and injured hundreds in Buenos Aires. The collisionhappened at 6:15 a.m. during the busy rush hour in the Flores neighbourhood.

Train. WreckView of a crash between

two passenger trains and a

bus in Buenos Aires

yesterday.

Iran’s president predictedyesterday that two Ameri-cans arrested in July 2009while hiking along theIraq-Iran border and sen-tenced to eight years in jailon espionage-relatedcharges could be freed “ina couple of days” after acourt set bail of $500,000US each.

The events appearedtimed to boost the imageof President Mahmoud Ah-madinejad coinciding withhis visit to New York nextweek for the UN GeneralAssembly session. Lastyear, a third American wasreleased on bail aroundthe same time.

In Washington, Secre-tary of State Hillary Rod-

ham Clinton said the U.S.was “encouraged” by Ah-madinejad’s comments.

Lawyer Masoud Shafieisaid the court would beginthe process to free ShaneBauer and Josh Fattal afterpayment of the bail, whichmust be arranged through

third parties because ofU.S. economic sanctionson Iran. The timing of thecourt’s decision is similarto last year’s bail deal me-diated by the Gulf state ofOman that freed a thirdAmerican, Sarah Shourd.

“They accepted to setbail to release,” Shafieitold The Associated Pressafter leaving court. “Theamount is the same forSarah.”

Ahmadinejad, in an in-terview aired on NBC’s To-day show, described thebail offer as a “humanitari-an gesture” and repeatedcomplaints about atten-tion for Iranians held inU.S. prisons. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Taliban hits Kabul

Taliban insurgents firedrocket-propelled grenades,heavy machine guns and as-sault rifles at the U.S. Em-bassy, NATO head quartersand other buildings in theheart of the capital yester-day while suicide bombersstruck police buildings inan attack blitz that dis-played the ability of mili-tants to bring their fight tothe doorsteps of Westernpower in Afghanistan.

The co-ordinated assaults— coming two days afterthe United States markedthe 10th anniversary of theSept. 11 terror attacks —carried an unsettling mes - sage to Western leaders andtheir Afghan allies aboutthe resilience and reach ofthe Taliban network.

It was the third major at-tack in Kabul since lateJune, casting fresh doubts

on the ability of Afghans tosecure their own country asthe U.S. and other foreigntroops prepare to withdrawby the end of 2014.

The American Embassyand NATO both said no staffwere wounded. Afghan offi-cials said the violence

around Kabul resulted inthe deaths of four police of-ficers and two civilians. An-other 12 people werewounded, including at leastfour caught up in suicidebombings in the westernpart of the capital.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Asbestos victims’ relativesare asking a ConservativeMP to hand in her medicallicence if she won’t take astand against her party’ssupport for the controver-sial industry.

An open letter signed bymore than 40 people whohave lost loved ones wassent Monday to rookie On-tario MP Kellie Leitch andobtained by The CanadianPress.

Now victims’ familiesare telling the noted pedi-atric orthopedic surgeonthat she should leave themedical profession if shewon’t condemn the cancer-causing substance.

“If you choose to contin-ue to support medical mis-information and to supportasbestos, we ask that you

hand in your medical li-cence and cease being aphysician, since you are inviolation of the most funda-mental standard requiredof all medical doctors: Dono harm,” said the letter, acopy of which was obtainedby The Canadian Press.

The messages were sentat a time of growing publicopposition to the industry,while politicians mull overthe future of one of Cana-da's last-remaining asbestosmines.

The bulk of Canadian as-bestos exports are shippedto poorer countries —where critics say there areimproper safety regulationsto protect people from con-tact with the dangerous fi-bres.

Proponents of the as-

bestos industry, however,maintain that practices arein place to ensure thatCanadian asbestos is han-dled safely, even in thecountries that import themineral.

Prime Minister StephenHarper has been vocal inhis support for the industryand the Conservatives arethe only national party toback the sector.THE CANADIAN PRESS

CIVIL DAMAGES

Governmentfined inItaly airlinecrashAn Italian court hasordered the governmentto pay $135 million incivil damages to relativesof 81 people killed in a1980 aircraft disasterthat remains one ofItaly’s most enduringmysteries.

The government saidyesterday it wouldappeal the decision ofthe Palermo civiltribunal, which on Mon-day held Italy’s transportand defence ministriesliable for having failed toguarantee the security ofthe flight.

The Itavia DC-9 airlin-er crashed June 27, 1980,en route from Bologna toPalermo near the tinyMediterranean island ofUstica. The cause

remains a mystery.Among the theories arethat there was a bombon board or that the air-liner might have beencaught accidentally inthe crossfire of a militaryaerial dogfight.

Attorney Daniele Os-nato, who along with ahandful of lawyers repre-sented about 80 relativesof the victims, saidjustice had finally beenrendered in the case.

In addition todetermining that theministries had failed toprotect the flight, hesaid, the tribunal also de-termined they wereresponsible for conceal-ing the truth anddestroying evidence.

Italy’s air forceexpressed clear disdainfor the decision, notingin a statement yesterdaythat it was made by a sin-gle judge in a civil courtwhereas its generals hadbeen absolved by Italy’shighest criminal courtfor lack of evidence.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The ranks of America’spoor swelled to almostone in six people last year,reaching a new high aslong-term unemploymentleft millions of Americansstruggling and out ofwork. The number ofuninsured edged up to49.9 million, the biggestin more than two decades.

The Census Bureau’sannual report releasedyesterday offers asnapshot of the economicwell-being of U.S.households for 2010,when joblessness hoveredabove nine per cent for asecond year. It comes at apolitically sensitive timefor President Barack Oba-ma, who hasacknowledged in themidst of a re-election fightthat the unemploymentrate could persist at highlevels through next year.

The overall poverty rateclimbed to 15.1 per cent,or 46.2 million, up from14.3 per cent in 2009. Theofficial poverty level is anannual income of $22,314US for a family of four.

Reflecting the lingeringimpact of the recession,the U.S. poverty rate from2007-2010 has now risenfaster than any three-yearperiod since the early1980s, when a cripplingenergy crisis amid govern-ment cutbacks

contributed to inflation,spiralling interest ratesand unemployment.

Measured by total num-bers, the 46 million nowliving in poverty is thelargest on record datingback to when the censusbegan tracking poverty in1959. Based on percent -ages, it tied the povertylevel in 1993 and was thehighest since 1983.

The median householdincome was $49,445 US,down 2.3 per cent from2009.

The latest numbers,which cover Obama’s sec-ond year in office, offerpolitical fodder for bothparties as Obama seeks topush a new $447-billionUS plan for creating jobsand stimulating the econ-omy. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Other findings

Poverty rose among allrace and ethnic groups ex-cept Asians.The number of Hispanicsin poverty increased to26.6 per cent from 25.3per cent.For blacks, it increased to27.4 per cent from 25.8per cent.The number of whites inpoverty rose to 9.9 percent from 9.4 per cent.

What’s killing us? Fordecades, global healthleaders have focused ondiseases that can spread— AIDS, tuberculosis,new flu bugs. Theypushed for vaccines, bet-ter treatments and otherways to control germsthat were only a planeride away from seedingoutbreaks anywhere inthe world.

Now they are turningto a new set of culpritscausing what United Na-tions Secretary-GeneralBan Ki-moon calls “a pub-lic-health emergency inslow motion.” This time,germs aren’t the target:We are, along with ourbad habits like smoking,overeating and gettingtoo little exercise.

Next week, the UNGeneral Assembly willhold its first summit onchronic diseases — can-cer, diabetes, and heartand lung disease. Thoseaccount for nearly two-thirds of deathsworldwide, or about 36million. In the UnitedStates, they kill nearlynine out of 10 people.

WEIRD NEWS

A 290-poundman goes toWhite CastleA man is suing the White Castlechain, claiming the booths in one ofits hamburger restaurants are toosmall.

Martin Kessman says in the feder-al lawsuit filed last week that hewas embarrassed in 2009 when hetried squeezing his six-foot, 290-pound frame into the seating at aWhite Castle in New York state.

He says he slammed his knee into

a metal post under thetable and was in pain.

The lawsuitclaims therestaurantcould not ac-commodate acustomer ofKessman’sstature, in vio-

100 ACRES OFINFIDELITY

Quick quiz: Who is the mostadmired person on Earth, liv-ing or dead? If your list startswith Martin Luther King Jr.,you get the kewpie doll. Forexample, in a recent survey of2,000 U.S. high school

students, Dr. King was No. 1 aboveBenjamin Franklin and even Oprah, theonly living admirable person who madethe list. On survey after survey he’s rightup there with Gandhi, Nelson Mandelaand Winnie the Pooh (even though he is abear of very little brain, OK?)

If your list started with Jackie Kennedy Onassis, you’reeligible for therapy. She was probably the most notoriouswoman of her generation, but hardly the most admired.True, as U.S. first lady, she put up with serial adultererJohn Kennedy until he was assassinated. But when shemarried Aristotle Onassis, the creepy Greek shipping mag-

nate, she became an objectof cynical disdain, especiallywhen, once widowed, shelaunched a two-year legalbattle to extract $26 millionout of Christina Onassis,Ari’s daughter and sole heir.

Here’s an ironic historicalfootnote. Recently releasedinterview tapes reveal thatwhen she was first lady,Jackie thought King was“tricky” and “phoney”because the FBI caught himwith a woman in his hotelroom.

This was before itbecame apparent that “JohnKennedy Slept Here” was awhole different story than“George Washington SleptHere.”

It’s not really fair to judgeJackie with the benefit ofhindsight, but that trickyphoney has his own nation-al holiday, Martin LutherKing boulevards in every

U.S. ‘burg and more than 10,000 (and who knows the de-gree to which his fame extends to hamlets) public schools,community centres and libraries.

Jackie has the reservoir in Central Park, although onceagain I’m being unfair. She is also memorialized in awhite gazebo in Middleburg, Va., where she often partici-pated in the bizarre practice of inducing hounds to chaseand tear apart a fox.

I’m not sure why Jackie O. was oblivious to greatness,athough I harbour graceless suspicions. Give her the bene-fit of the doubt and take the “tricky phoney” talk at facevalue. After all, if he was discovered in a hotel room withanother woman in 2011, King would make an entirely dif-ferent list, along with Arnold Schwarzenegger, EliotSpitzer and the much-admired Anthony Weiner, not tomention Jackie’s husband JFK, who brought a whole newmeaning to “affairs of state.”

The times, they are a changin’. And through it all, Win-nie the Pooh remains devoted to Christopher Robin.

The year 1971 was a water-shed time for new cinema.Films like A Clockwork Or-ange, Dirty Harry andStraw Dogs pushed theboundaries of what was ac-ceptable on the silverscreen. None are passivefilms.

Each brims with the ob-sessions of their makers,and for that each was thesubject of controversy andcensorship.

Eventually they becameaccepted by the main-

stream. A Clockwork Or-ange has become a cultur-al touchstone, witheveryone from Lady Gagato David Bowie to KylieMinogue, who dressed in ablack bowler hat and awhite jumpsuit on tour in2002, paying tribute.

It was even played atthe Cannes Film Festivaland released on Blu Ray tomark its 40th anniversary.Dirty Harry is on constantrotation on television andRod Lurie’s remake of theSam Peckinpah film StrawDogs hits screens thisweekend.

The movie stars James

Marsden and KateBosworth as David andAmy Sumner, a big citycouple who move back toher hometown on the Mis-sissippi Gulf Coast.

Tensions with some ofthe locals (including TrueBlood’s Alexander Skars-

gård) bubble to the surfaceand soon boil over into vio-lence.

“If you look at a movielike Straw Dogs, whichwas heavily influenced bya book called The Territori-al Imperative,” says Lurie,“Peckinpah seems to besaying that violence is inthe genetics of all men andtherefore we must beaware of it so we can con-trol it. It was extremelyfascist thinking but that al-so seems to be the thingwith Dirty Harry.

“A Clockwork Orange isa much more clinical lookat that but I think artists

were trying to provide theanswers top what societywas asking then. It was avery, very violent era.

“This was an era inwhich people were search-ing for answers to themadness that was going onaround them,” Lurie con-tinues, “and filmmakerswere trying to providesome of the answers. Youhad everything from theassassinations of Kennedyand King to Vietnam to theWhitman murders to MyLai. I think all of societywas trying to understandhow human beings coulddo such things.”

LOVE TOPLAY?

Showing fanboyssome geek-chic loveMorgan Spurlock went to aconvention in San Diegotwo years ago and foundhis people — geeks andfanboys, just like he is.

The director of SuperSize Me found Comic-Consuch a mecca for fans ofcomic books, superheroesand other aspects of geekculture that he felt com-pelled to make a movieabout the place. Comic-Con Episode IV: A Fan'sHope, playing at a numberof film festivals, is a love

song to the fans who jour-ney every year to mix withtheir kind — and thosecontinually telling them-selves that next year,they’ll make it there them-selves. Spurlock, who grewup reading comics andidolizing Marvel Comicsmastermind Stan Lee, firstwent to the four-day con-vention in summer 2009

to recruit fans of TheSimpsons for a 20th an-niversary special he wasmaking about the animat-ed TV series.

“I’m there watching thisgoing, ‘This is the greatestthing I’ve ever seen. This isamazing. This is a movie,’”Spurlock said in an inter-view over the weekend af-ter the Toronto festival

premiere of Comic-Con. “Later on that night is

when I met Stan Lee at aparty and kind of justgushed to Stan, telling himhow much he changed mylife as a kid. And he said,‘We should make a movietogether. We should makea documentary about Com-ic-Con.’”THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

I don’t read comics and

I’m no geek. What is Com-

ic-Con and who goes to

these things?

Need to know Drawing130,000 people a year —many in elaboratecostumes as favourite su-perheroes, movie idolsand video-game characters— Comic-Con is THE placefor fans to buy rare comicbooks, get the newest ac-tion figures, previewfootage of Hollywood’snext blockbusters and justhang with their peers.

Sarah Jessi-ca Parker isbest knownas CarrieBradshaw,the sharp-

tongued figurehead ofSex and the City, thelong-running ode to postfeminism and stylishclothes. But before Mr.Big and the Louboutinsshe was a movie star withsome classics — like Foot-loose — and somestinkers — like DudleyDo-Right — to her credit.

This weekend she’sback on the big screen forthe first time in a non-Sexand the City movie sincethe 2009 flop Did YouHear about the Morgans?In I Don’t Know How SheDoes It she plays a ver-sion of Carrie all grownup with kids and a job inthe financial sector. It’s afar cry from her first bigmovie, Footloose.

She played Rusty, arole Parker called the“best friend of the prettygirl.” The movie and itsfancy footwork earnedher a Best Young Support-ing Actress in a MotionPicture Musical, Comedy,

Adventure or Dramanomination at the SixthAnnual Youth in FilmAwards.

A few forgettable filmsfollowed like Firstborn —described as a “heavy-handed suburbansitcom”— Girls Just Wantto Have Fun — called “atotal wannabe in therealm of ‘80s teenflicks”— and Flight of theNavigator, which featuresthe voice of Pee Wee Her-man as a robot.

It wasn’t until sheteamed with Steve Martinin L.A. Story that thingsstarted looking up. In thissurreal look at life andlove in Los Angeles Park-er plays SanDeE, a ditzyblonde who aspires to bea spokesmodel.

The movie broke herout of the teen moviemode and displayed herdeft comic timing, whichwas put to great use inHoneymoon in Vegas op-posite Nic Cage. A fewflops later she appearedin the critically acclaimedEd Wood with JohnnyDepp. Playing the muchput-upon girlfriend of theworld’s worst director,she calls the actors andcrew of his film Bride ofthe Monster “the usualcast of misfits and dopeaddicts.”

Susan Lucci

DAN STEINBERG/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS FILE

Soap star lashes out at ABC Erica Kane wouldn’t leavequietly if she felt she’d beenwronged. Neither is SusanLucci as All My Childrennears its end on ABC.

Lucci has memorablyportrayed Kane on the dra-ma, which airs its lastepisode on ABC on Sept. 23,and it’s unclear whethershe will be a part of an at-tempt to migrate the seriesonline. In a newly publishedepilogue to her memoir,Lucci sharply criticized herABC bosses for axing All MyChildren, which has beenon the air since 1970. Shesaid the decision to cancelthe show was motivated bygreed and said the head ofABC’s daytime unit, BrianFrons, has “that fatal combi-nation of ignorance and ar-rogance.”

Frons, in cancelling AllMy Children and One Life toLive in April, said the soapoperas were a victim of de-

clining interest. He said try-ing to prop up shows in se-vere decline was like “tryingto catch a falling knife.”

Lucci told her own storyin the paperback edition ofAll My Life, a memoir pub-lished in hardcover earlierthis year. The actress saidFrons said, in telling herabout the cancellation, thatit would be 40 per centcheaper to make the cook-ing and weight-loss seriesthat are replacing the two

soap operas.“If Brian Frons could

show his bosses that hecould save the network 40per cent in productioncosts, he could keep his jobeven if the rest of us lostours,” she wrote. She notedthat several employees onAll My Children had eitherlost their jobs or lost moneywhen the show moved itsproduction base from NewYork to California in recentyears to save money. “I won-

der, did Brian Frons take apay cut, too?” Lucci wrote.

She criticized Frons forinstalling a new head writeron the show in 2008, and es-sentially pushing asideAgnes Nixon, the soapopera legend who createdAll My Children. Lucci saidthat several times “I’d clickthe television to ABC andnot realize I was watchingAll My Children. If the showwas unrecognizable to me, Ican only imagine how ourviewers felt.”

Frons was not availablefor comment, a spokes-woman said, and ABC de-clined to address Lucci’sspecific comments.

“We have all the respectin the world for Susan andare sorry she felt the needto write this epilogue to anotherwise incredible ca-reer,” spokeswoman Jori Pe-tersen said. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Lucci upset with network as TV version of All My Children comes to an end

Future plans

The future for Susan Lucciand All My Children is un-certain. The media companyProspect Park in Julysigned a licensing deal tocontinue the two soapopera stories beyond theirtelevision lives either on-line or on other platforms.

The company hasannounced deals withsome of the One Life toLive actors, and is said tobe negotiating with Lucciand other All My Childrenactors.Prospect Park has noannouncement on any AllMy Children participants,spokeswoman MelissaZuckerman said Monday.

The islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon offer a taste ofFrance, just a short ferry ride off the coast of Newfoundland This tiny collection of is-lands, about 25 kilometresfrom Fortune, N.L., has a to-tal population of around7,000 people. It is all thatremains of colonial NewFrance.

A former strategic landbase for the once lucrativecod fishery, the French gov-ernment now pays about$65 million a year in subsi-dies to sustain the islands— its only toehold in NorthAmerica. St. Pierre andMiquelon were returned toFrance in 1815 after severalstints of British occupation.

Today, residents speakFrench, deal in Euros andrely heavily on governmentjobs, fishing and tourism.

The smallest of the is-lands, St. Pierre, is also themost populated, withcolourful clapboard homeson tidy, winding streetsthat are home to about6,000 people. Restaurantsand bakeries bustle withforeigners in summer.

History buffs won’t wantto miss the L’Arche muse-um in the centre of town,where a guillotine similarto one used in 1889 ishoused. The eerie killingmachine is on display nextto the museum’s mainstaircase. The only soul todie by guillotine in NorthAmerica was a fisherman

convicted of murdering afishing boat captain. Hewas beheaded in St. Pierreon Aug. 24, 1889. It is saidthat local people were sodisgusted the guillotinewas never used again.

On the lighter side, visi-tors can also soak up richtales of rum-running andgangsters, as St. Pierre be-came the ideal base forbooze shipments to a verythirsty North America dur-ing Prohibition in the1920s.

In Miquelon, with a per-manent population ofabout 700 people, thechurch L’Eglise deMiquelon tells local historyin its stained glass win-dows. “It’s worth a visit be-cause it’s so beautiful,”Madeline Fitzsimmons ofHuntsville, Ont., said dur-ing a trip last month to theislands. THE CANADIAN PRESS

The harbour of St. Pierre was once the perfect base for booze shipments

for North America under the wraps of Prohibition.

Touristsmay beflocking toDrumhellerto witnessthe wealthof ancient

dinosaur bones, but anoth-er rural Alberta archaeolog-ical site is raising eyebrowsthese days.

I was just a tad appre-hensive on my way out tothe middle of nowheresomewhere near Wain-right, Alta., I think, to visitthe even smaller and evenmore out-of-the-way tinyhamlet of Bodo. The official

population base is listed at“about 27 people.” Thisplace makes Moose Jawseem like a metropolis.

Not long after arriving inthe flat, almost desert-liketerrain, I was struck by thehistory, and the uniquehands-on experience of un-covering that history.

More and more touristsare flocking here to gettheir hands dirty at an an-cient Native burial ground.

Just a five-minute drivefrom the town is BodoSandhills. The mosquitoswere pretty unbearable, butI forgot about my 900 or sobites when we actually hada chance to dig at a large an-cient buffalo kill site.

This is where First Na-tions people trapped andkilled their food, hundredsof years ago, Bodo allowsthe layman to pretend he’sa great explorer.

When I first heard aboutco-operative educationprograms offered at uni-versities, I immediatelyfigured that the work-study cycle would be anexcellent way to gain ex-posure to the professionalworld.

All throughout my firstyear I was looking for-ward to working at a jobrelated to what I wasstudying. As my first workterm approached, I quick-ly realized how difficult itwould be, especially sincemy faculty is the smalleston campus and I am com-peting with students intheir upper years.

When I started search-ing for my first co-op posi-tion, there were lots of

job postings available butout of the many positionsI applied to, I only man-aged to obtain one inter-view out of that firstcycle.

My search did not getany easier in the secondjob posting round, as thejob postings becamescarce and my chances atsecuring employment

slim.After countless cover

letters and resumé modi-fications I received anoth-er two interviews, bothwhich did not lead to awork placement. Mystruggles continued wellinto exam period last De-cember and eventuallythe term ended.

As I was packing my be-longings for the winterholidays I realized I hadnowhere to work for myfirst co-op term.

Near the end of JanuaryI was able to secure em-ployment through theuniversity job search por-tal for a position I appliedfor several weeks back.

My first co-op job

search in universitytaught me that previousexperience (especially rel-evant experience) reallycounts and sometimesvolunteer work doesn’tcut it.

Employers should real-ize that students who aretrying to secure their firstwork term placementsare part of the pool thatthey will be selecting can-didates from for the nextcouple of years as well.Don’t rule students outwhen you see a lack ofwork experience on theirresumés.

Students may not al-ways have relevant workexperience, but they mayhave other relevant vol-

THE WAYS TO WAGE WAR ON A WORK CASEsions, however unjust.Most will just complain.But, if you have an incli-nation to fight back, hereare some dos and don’ts:

Skeletons

Just about every employeehas a skeleton in theircloset. If yours is so badyou can’t risk it being ex-posed, then do not chal-lenge your employer’sdecision to discipline ordismiss you, however un-fair. Some workplaceskeletons, although notharmful to your case, willultimately be harmful toyour career.

Condonation

Many good cases die onthe vine because of a de-lay in mounting an appro-priate response. If youdisagree with an employ-er’s decision, such as apay cut or demotion, youmust immediately protestit and do so in writing.Failing to respond simplyconveys to your employer

that you agreed with thedecision or at least thatyou did not care enoughto complain.

Allegations

Few employees can affordto wait years to settle acase. Many of these cases

would have settled quick-ly but for trumped up al-legations of bad faith ormistreatment. When you

name names in a lawsuit,you motivate your em-ployer to vigorously de-fend it. In my experience,too many employee-sidelawyers mistakenly ag-grandize claims and thenlater regret it.

Hypocrites

Many cases turn sidewayswhen the conduct youcomplain of is similar towhat you have done. Inone recent bullying case,the judge found that al-though the employee hadbeen bullied at work, shehad previously bullied herown colleagues. Althoughher claim for bullying waslegitimate, she was de-nied damages because shehad engaged in the verysame conduct that shehad complained of. Donot expect any sympathyfor your grievances if youdo not make them withclean hands. DANIEL LUBLIN IS AN EMPLOYMENTLAWYER WITH WHITTEN & LUBLINLLP.

Congrats to Apple University,

class of 2031?

“School funding will be ahuge issue because of thebooming costs of lookingafter retirees. That’s whycompanies will sponsorschools. In developed coun-tries, the barrier betweenbusiness and education willbe blurred. Everything willbe commercial and spon-sored. If kids go to a schoolsponsored by a particularcompany, they might haveto work for that companyduring the school breaks.”

Bad news for bank tellers,

good news for nurses

“Bank tellers will essential-ly disappear by 2031, as willjobs like subway driversand check-in agents at air-ports. Only those who pay apremium will get humanservice. At the same time, a

range of jobs will be createdto look after retirees. Verti-cal farming will providenew careers, as will newforms of transport andtechnology-based educa-tion.”

Fashion and retail get a

makeover

“3D printing will revolu-tionize manufacturing. Cus-tomers will be able to walkinto a shop and design theirown clothes, which will bemanufactured on the spot.That will create new jobs,too.”

In the classroom

“By 2031, education willhave changed enormously,especially in developingcountries. Technology willact as a teacher. There willbe a teacher, but he or shewill be many miles away.”

“Teachers will be a luxu-ry. We’ll pay heavily for thespecialization they provide,as technology can take careof most of the teaching.”

According to a recent studyby Ethnographic Researchin Illinois Academic Li-braries Project, studentsare turning more to Inter-net search engines and less

to physical research.The three-year study

consisted of interviewswith librarians, studentsand other campus facultyat five universities. They

found that students oftendon't know where to turnwhen it comes to doing re-al research within the li-brary. In fact, studentsprefer to just enter a few

key words into a search en-gine rather than pourthrough academic journalsand encyclopedias.

The concept of using a li-brarian for academic assis-

tance is apparently foreignto the modern student, re-searchers told USA Today.

The researchers saidthey were surprised by "theextent to which students

appeared to lack even someof the most basic informa-tion literacy skills that weassumed they would havemastered in high school."

It’s already October for theTampa Bay Rays, who haveswitched into playoff modein a late push to overtakethe Boston Red Sox for theAL wild-card spot.

After losing four of five,Tampa Bay trailed the RedSox by nine games on Sept.2. The Rays have since gone8-2 and now sit four gamesback of a Boston club stag-gering toward the finish.

The key was a three-game sweep of the Red Soxover the weekend, cappedby a 9-1 rout on Sunday.

“Everyone has steppedup and contributed to thisrun,” Rays designated hit-ter Johnny Damon said.“Now we have to keep it go-ing.”

Tampa Bay lost somemomentum last night witha 4-2 loss to the Orioles.

The Rays know almostevery game from here onout is a must-win.

“We already started theplayoffs,” Tampa Bay man-ager Joe Maddon said.

“We’re going for the two-month gig. ... There’s no let-ting up. Every game fromour perspective has a play-off atmosphere attached toit. That’s the way it shouldbe, and that’s the way wehave to approach it.”

There’s no need topreach that philosophy tothe players, who are wellaware of the situation.

“These games (againstthe Orioles) are just as im-portant as the ones we justplayed and the ones we’regoing to be playing,” Da-mon said.

The Rays close out theseries in Baltimore tonightbefore heading to Bostonfor four games against theRed Sox, who broke a five-game losing streak with a18-6 win over Toronto lastnight.

NBA optimism low as talks stallThe long looks on players’faces and the anger indeputy commissionerAdam Silver’s voice madeit obvious: There was noprogress in New York yes-terday in talks to end theNBA lockout.

And with less than threeweeks until trainingcamps, the latest setbackmay be a tough one.

ers and players decided topass on talking again to-day, and no further meet-ings are scheduled at thispoint.

“Well, we did not have agreat day, I think it’s fair tosay that,” commissionerDavid Stern said. “On theother hand, we did say thatit is our collective task todecide what we want on

the one hand on each side,and two, what each sideneeds if we choose to workourselves in such a way asto have the season start ontime. That’s still our goal.”

The salary cap appears to

The Calgary Stampeders aresticking with rookie ReneParedes for Saturday’sgame against the B.C. Lionseven though Rob Maver isready to kick again.

Maver, the CFL’s scoringleader last year with 185points, comes off the nine-game injured list this week.The native of Brampton,Ont., tore his quadricep inCalgary’s season opener Ju-ly 1 versus Toronto.

The Stamps signed Pare-des to handle field goalsand converts shortly after.

The 26-year-old has done sowell that Stampeders headcoach and general managerJohn Hufnagel isn’t willingto switch kickers now.

“I have two kickers.They’ll both be kicking inpractice and Rene is thekicker for the near future,”Hufnagel said yesterday.

“Rene has done an excel-lent job and I talked withboth individuals this morn-ing about why I made mydecision. They have a totalunderstanding of the rea-sons.”

Maver may understandthe reasons but he isn’thappy.

“It’s frustrating for mepersonally because I obvi-ously want to be out therecompeting, but at the sametime, he’s kicked well andhelped us win games,” hesaid. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Monster engineThe Dodge Charger SRT8’s potency has been sig-nificantly enhanced for 2012.

The previous 2010 SRT8 (a 2011 version wasnever offered) generated 425 horsepower and 420pound-feet of torque from a 6.1-litre “Hemi” V-8.

What’s now being served up is a 6.4-litre Hemithat produces 470 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque.

What’s more, a significant amount of thattorque kicks in below the 3,000-r.p.m. range tohelp enhance the car’s off-the-line scoot.

Well ... what else are you going to do with 470 horsepower? Exaggerated looks and exaggerated power leads to exaggerated tire smoke.

A 21-gun salute to a bygone era

Hustle and (gas) flowThe SRT’s development team will brag that thechunky 1,985-kilogram Charger can hustle to60 m.p.h. (96 km/h) from a dead stop in “thehigh four-second range” and is capable of a 280km/h top speed.

To try to keep the SRT8’s premium-gas habitwithin an acceptable range, the engine usesChrysler’s latest deactivation technology thatcuts out half the cylinders over a wider r.p.m.range for an estimated 25 per cent increase inhighway fuel economy (8.0 l/100 km, est.).

Brembo brakesPerhaps the most obvious SRT8 feature isits very distinctive 20-inch (and nine-inch-wide) polished aluminum wheelsthat really set this beast apart frommainstream Chargers.

To haul the big, bad Dodge down in ahurry, there are front and rear Brembo-brand four-piston brake calipers and aspecial underbody ducting that helpkeep the brakes cooler and more fade-re-sistant.

Into this eco-minded ageof milquetoast hybrid andelectric vehicles, the 2012Dodge Charger SRT8comes roaring back to lifesporting a honking-big V-8engine and a serious caseof nose-thumbing attitude.

Consider this big familysedan a 21-gun salute to abygone era when full-size

North American familysedans could be optionedwith a surplus of tire-smoking grunt that madeits normally buttoned-down drivers smile glee-fully from ear to ear whilethe neighbours simply ranfor cover.

The Charger is noanomaly, but part of afamily of SRT8-branded ve-hicles for the 2012 modelyear that also includes the

Chrysler 300, Dodge Chal-lenger and Jeep GrandCherokee. They form whatis one of the widest arraysof all-out performance ma-chinery available any-where.

Compared to the previ-ous SRT8, this one baresits teeth in a more menac-ing fashion.

The basic Charger un-derwent a 2011 refit thatgave it a sleeker and more

aggressive look, improvedroad manners and a newbase V-6.

The SRT8 expands onthis theme.

Needless to say, the$54,000 (estimated) SRT8’sperformance and creaturecomforts would amaze itsHemi Charger ancestors.

That a car like this evenexists in this day and ageis perhaps the most amaz-ing fact of all.

CAR WASH OPTIONS HAVE VARYING GREEN RAMIFICATIONS

window dementia, but wecan help the planet wincejust a bit less, by under-standing which are thegreener car wash options.

First off, washing vehi-cles in your driveway maysound green but it’s not. Inmany cities it’s even illegalto wash your car with soap,and/or wash a very filthy ve-hicle. The concern is thatyour run-off is going to endup — untreated — in a

city’s storm drain system.Calgary and Toronto havethe stiffest fines for wash-ing vehicles in driveways,and its no coincidence theyboth rely on nearby waterbodies for their drinkingwater (Elbow and BowRivers, and Lake of Ontario,respectively).

For that reason bothcities heartily recommendthat citizens frequent pro-fessional car washing estab-

lishments for their cleancar fixes.

According to Jorge deMendonca, of the CanadianCarwash Association, com-mercial washes have hold-ing tanks designed tocontain the worst of therun-off. When full, thesetanks are pumped out byappropriately licensed car-riers. The semi-treated wa-ter is then directed to amunicipality’s sanitary wa-

ter system, which includesthat crucial stop at a treat-ment plant.

If you’re hell bent onwashing your car at home,do it without soap, and/ordo it on your lawn, whichmeans no run-off to thestorm drain and your grassgets a bit of a drink.

Commercial car washesalso tend to use less waterthan home washes. Self-serve car washes use the

least — about 57 litres perwash. In-bay automaticwashes, where the car re-mains stationary, use about190 to 228 litres. Automaticconveyer touch washes useabout 250 litres, while auto-matic conveyor touches sys-tems use about 324 litres.Don’t forget that some op-erations also recycle somewater, but they’re in the mi-nority.

There is a new NorthAmerican-wide initiativeafoot, called Watersavers,which will certify and pro-mote car wash operationsthat are on the cutting edgeof cutting water usage.

“The target is about 40gallons (150 litres) perwash,” says Mendonca. Headds that 40 gallons isabout how much water isused in a typical (human)bath.

Now if we could justcombine the two — carwashing and people wash-ing in one go — then we’dreally be getting some-where.

Getting your carwashed is good. Butunfortunately it’s notan all-encompassinggood.

Water iscompro-mised.Energy isconsumed.Chemicals

are unleashed. Oily andmetal contaminants canend up where they should-n’t. And if someone forgetsto close all the carwindows before the waterstarts, there’s all thatcussing.

We can never stop open-

Believe it or not, but this is actually a safer alternative to washing your car in your driveway.

Never underestimatethe power of paint

Silver/grey is the most popular shade for cars in the world. However, on cars like the Ford Fiesta, colours such as lime green present a somewhat radical alternative.

FORD MOTOR COMPANY

When it comes to cars,what’s on the outside canbe vitally important. Ac-cording to Ford, up to 40per cent of us will walk outof a dealership if we can’tbuy a car in the colour wewant.

The automaker is al-ways on the lookout fornew shades, checking fash-ion, technology and evencolours from other cul-tures that buyers may haveseen on the Internet, ac-cording to Susan Swek,Ford’s chief designer ofcolour and materials de-sign.

“There are people whowant grey, silver, black orwhite time and timeagain,” Swek says. “But wedo offer some colours thatwe call ‘trend’ colours. Thehot magenta on the Fiestais a one-year trend colour,where it’s polarizing. A lotof people won’t like it, anda lot will buy it.”

Only about 3 per cent ofbuyers will choose theseshort-lived trend paints,but if a colour does betterthan expected, the compa-ny will carry it over for an-other year.

Auto manufacturersface some of the longestlead-in times of any con-sumer products; Swek andher team recently finalizedthe colours for 2014 vehi-cles and are working onthe 2015 models. In addi-tion to research for its aes-thetic appeal, each colouris also weather-tested for ayear to be sure it won’tfade or peel in the sun.

Silver/grey is the mostpopular shade around theglobe, and in Canada, 22.3per cent of buyers chooseit. Black, the next in line,accounts for only 14.1 percent.

“Silver has actuallybeen a huge seller for along time,” Swek says. “It’sprobably because silverlooks good on almost anytype of body style you putit on, anything from asmall car to a truck, a largecar or a crossover.”

Picking the colours tooffer on each model is a

combination of market re-search and “eyeballing,”Swek says.

“Design is kind of an in-tuitive thing. You look atthe product and you knowit’s right or it’s not right.”

The bright green LimeSqueeze that looks so ap-propriate on a small Fiestawouldn’t be applied to abig truck because it would-n’t look right, Swek says.

Higher-end cars tend towear subdued colours andtheir paint is usually moreexpensive and richer-look-ing.

“We’re starting to seepeople open to a littlemore colour on some luxu-ry products,” Swek says.

“But there are alwayscolours that will never beluxury. We don’t envisionbright pink on a Lincoln.”

Canada’s colours

Atlantic Canadians buymore gold and red cars,while Albertans and Que-becers buy more blue.Those in Ontario are mostlikely to buy black andleast likely to buy blue.Green cars are most popu-lar in B.C., Manitoba andSaskatchewan.

Go ahead, don’t be afraid to make a scene2003-10 Hummer H2

SECONDGEAR

JUSTIN [email protected]

Looking for a used familyhauler that doesn’t makea scene, is easy to park,and doesn’t burn throughfuel like a refinery fire?Skip the rest of this write-up on the Hummer H2.

Launched for the 2003model year, this Hummerfeatured 325 horsepower,a gargantuan body, andmore off-road hardwarethan most of its ownerswould come close to need-ing. Big, tough and aggres-sive, the H2 was a fashionstatement as much as arock-crawling weapon.

Look for automatic cli-mate control, power acces-sories, leather seats, Boseaudio, auto-dimming mir-rors and plenty more.

EngineH2’s six-litre, 325-horsepower enginewas replaced in 2008 with a 6.2-litre unit that cranked out 393ponies. The four-speed automat-ic was replaced with a six-speedunit, too.

Common issuesEnsure your potential H2tracks straight down theroad, as some owners havereported alignment issuesevidenced by a “pull” toone side or the other. Cy-cle the H2 between itstwo- and four-wheel drivemodes as outlined in theowner’s manual, ensuringthe transfer case shiftsproperly. Check carpetingthoroughly for signs ofmoisture, which may becaused by clogged, kinkedor leaky sunroof drainhoses. Also ensure thatsteering-wheel mountedcontrols for the audio sys-tem and cruise controlwork properly.

VerdictA healthy Hummer H2with a mechanicalthumbs-up should provea unique, flexible familyhauler that’s big on sizeand capability.

What owners likeMost owners report that theirH2s deliver a smooth and com-fortable ride that’s also quiet when driv-en modestly. Interior space and size,functionality, versatility and all-roadconfidence are other major plusses,alongside a built-in sense of adventure.

What ownersdislikeGripes tend to centre around fuelconsumption, parking difficulties, and issuesfitting into snug quarters. Some owners wishfor more performance from the factory Boseaudio system, more in-cabin storage andmore thoughtfulness to the ergonomics.
