Creating a Plan B for rec centres

Coming up with a Plan B forfunding four recreation centreswill take some time and may

mean compromising, accordingto the mayor.

Last week, the city wasinformed it would not get anymoney for four recreation cen-tres from the federal government— money that the city says wasall but guaranteed.

Mayor Naheed Nenshi said hehas tasked the recreation depart-ment with coming up with alter-nate options for funding the bad-ly needed facilities.

“It will take us some weeks ormonths to come up with newmodels,” he said. “We may not

be able to build the rec centres tothe level, the size that we desired... but it is absolutely clear thatthose areas of the city need recre-ation facilities and we have tofind a way to do it.”

Parent and president of theSouth East Recreation Society

Stephanie Campbell said there isonly one option in her mind.

“To me, neither waiting longeror building smaller is an accept-able option,” she said. “Weshould be building the facilitiesthat we’ve spent the last threeyears making sure work.”

Extra measures to securehighrise construction ma-terials and a new early-warning system were keyin preventing deaths dur-ing Sunday’s windstorm,officials said yesterday.

Gales in excess of 150km/h dislodged materialsfrom Calgary’s tallest build-ings, and eyewitnesses re-ported flying constructionmaterials as the likelysource of some windows

being smashed at TDSquare, but overall thedamage was relativelymanageable, said CalgaryEmergency ManagementAgency (CEMA) head BruceBurrell.

“We’re the luckiest cityin the world, I’ve got to tellyou,” he said.

Luck may have played arole, but the city’s chiefbuilding official, KevinGriffiths, was quick topoint out his team hasbeen working closely withthe construction industryto ensure all precautions

are being taken, especiallyat downtown sites.

Safety concerning high-rise construction sites wasthrust into the spotlightfollowing an August 2009tragedy that saw three-year-old Michelle Krsekstruck and killed by a pieceof metal that had fallen 18storeys from a hotel site.

“I do believe we are in abetter place than we werethree years ago,” Griffithssaid. “I don’t believe ourwork is done.... We didhave a few minor incidentsoutside the core with re-

gards to construction sitesbut no injuries.”

Millions in damage caused by Sunday gales, says fire chief LRT service in downtown core restored in time for evening rush hour

Downtown travellers watched in awe Sunday as crews worked quickly to secure areas blanketed by debris during a violent windstorm.

Calgary Emer-gency ManagementAgency head Bruce Bur-rell said it could be afew days before the 3rdStreet C-Train station and adja-cent pathway reopen,as repairs are still pend-ing on a nearbybuilding.

An Ottawa-based justicegroup says Canada shouldprosecute an allegedGuatemalan war criminalinstead of extraditing himto the U.S.

Jorge Vinicio OrantesSosa, who holds both Cana-dian and American citizen-ship, remains in custody inCalgary as he appeals hisextradition back to theUnited States on immigra-tion charges.

Matt Eisenbrandt of theCanadian Centre for Inter-national Justice told a Cal-gary news conference thatCanada has the ability toprosecute Sosa on war-crimes charges.

He says trying Sosa onimmigration charges sendsa message that people whoare charged with suchatrocities won’t be held ac-countable

Sosa was arrested by po-lice in January when hewas visiting family in Leth-bridge. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Longtime proponent of the airport tunnel Ald. Jim

Stevenson stands in front of the partially dug project.

KATIE TURNER /METRO

Months into constructionof one of the city’s mostcontentious pieces of in-frastructure, officials saythe airport tunnel is ontrack.

Ward 3 Ald. Jim Steven-son and the city’s generalmanager of transportationMac Logan were on handyesterday to share the firstglimpse of the tunnel.

“Everything’s going asplanned,” said Logan. “Sofar, so good”

Logan said the firstphase was to dig directlybelow where the airport isplanning to build a newrunway.

“As per the contract, ifwe delay their project,then we are liable for thecosts. That’s why it’s criti-cal that we work togeth-er.”

Although the projectwas approved in thespring, criticism fromsome aldermen has con-tinued.

Stevenson said hestands behind council’s

decision to spend $295million to construct thetunnel, adding that addi-tional money, to the tuneof more than $50 million,will eventually need to bespent on interchanges inthe area, but those areyears away.

“I think it will be 10 to15 years before Calgariansunderstand how impor-tant this decision was,” hesaid.

“I would have been veryhappy with just puttingthe tunnel in, putting it ina box and closing it in ateach end, because wedon’t need this road foranother 10 years likely.But the fact is, we’re goingto have it now.”

It’s on track to be completed by the spring of 2014

Ald. saystunnel costwill riseOne alderman arguesthe true cost of the tun-nel is not $295 millionbecause of all the inter-changes the city will

have to build in thefuture.

“The fact is, we’rebuilding a tunnel thatgoes nowhere, connectsto nothing and is patent-ly useless,” said Ald.Gord Lowe. “When westart connecting it, thecosts go up astronom -ically.” KATIE TURNER

Six traffic lanes

The tunnel will be 620metres in length oncecomplete.

It will be approximately 36metres wide and willaccommodate six lanes oftraffic, as well as havingenough space for an LRTline.

Ecstasy: Hard topic for parentsEcstasy facts

Ecstasy’s chemical structureis similar to that of amphet-amine (a stimulant) andmescaline (a hallucinogen). Side effects can include in-creased blood pressure andheart rate, increase bodytemperature and paranoia.Despite it being a concernfor anti-drug advocates, sta-tistics indicate only roughlyfour per cent of high-school-aged children admitto trying ecstasy. Alberta Health Servicesspokesperson StuartBrideaux said the drug is of-ten cut with other,potentially even more dan-gerous, substances such asketamine, which is typicallyused to tranquilize horses.

Discussing the dangers ofecstasy with kids can posemore of a challenge to par-ents than other, more com-monly used drugs likealcohol and marijuana, saysa Calgary expert.

On the weekend, eightteenagers were rushed tohospital after taking a sub-stance believed to be ecsta-sy during a house party inHarvest Hills.

Cheryl Houtekamer, pro-gram supervisor with Al-berta Alcohol and DrugAbuse Commission(AADAC), said the problemwith man-made substancesis any amount can be po-tentially lethal, so parenttalks regarding moderationare not really useful.

“With drinking, you can

talk with your child, espe-cially as they get older,about drinking and drivingand leaving your drink un-attended and spacingdrinks out,” she said. “It’s

hard to have a conversationaround safety when usingecstasy.”

The buck should stop atpaying to park at hospitals,says to the Canadian Med-ical Association Journal.

An editorial by acting ed-itor Dr. Rajendra Kale, anOttawa neurologist, saysparking charges are a userfee in disguise and an im-pediment to good care.

But according to AlbertaHealth Services, the moneyis needed.

“The parking fees arecollected centrally, andthey offset our expenses,”said AHS’ Penny Rae, point-ing out parking costs total$60 million this year whilerevenue is $55 million.

Multiple parking facili-

ties have been constructedthis year and more areneeded, said Rae, adding

the money also keeps thelots functioning.

But those heading in andout of the facilities agreewith Kale.

“It should be removed,”said Jordan Allison, as heprepared to fork out $26 tovisit his girlfriend twice atthe Peter Lougheed Centreyesterday. “It’s a hospital;it’s not like I’m choosing tobe here. It feels like they aremore or less just screwingyou even more.”

Kam Purewal, father of anewborn, estimated hehanded over $40 duringthree trips to the hospitalin recent days.

“It’s not bad, but thereshould maybe be more sub-sidizing for people thathave to stay here forlonger,” he said.

WITH FILES FROM JEREMY NOLAIS

Driving the issue

Every year, Alberta HealthServices does a market sur-vey for parking rates, keep-ing them consistent ineach geographical area. Monthly parking at hospi-tals ranges between $65and $116 in Edmonton,while a daily rate inCalgary averages $13.The Canadian Medical As-sociation Journal takes is-sue with hospital parkingfees, saying it ignores ba-sic principles in the Cana-da Health Act — thatcitizens should have accessto health care without fi-nancial or other barriers.

Hospital visitors pull out of the Peter Lougheed Centre’s short-term parking lot yesterday,

handing over between $1.75 and $13, depending on their length of stay.

For the millions of Egyp-tians who cast ballots yes-terday, the firstparliamentary electionssince they ousted HosniMubarak were a turningpoint in history — if for noother reason than theywere finally getting achance to be heard afterdecades of rigged voting.

The outcome will indi-cate whether one of Amer-ica’s most importantMiddle East allies will re-main secular or movedown a more Islamic path,

Since the uprising thatforced out Mubarak nearly10 months ago, Egyptians

had looked forward to thisday as a celebration of free-dom after years of stiflingdictatorship. Instead, therehas been deep disappoint-ment with the militaryrulers who replaced theold regime and a new waveof protests and clashesthat began 10 days beforethe vote.

If there was little jubila-tion, there was hope —and even defiance — withmany determined to eitherpush the military frompower or vote against theMuslim Brotherhood andother Islamist groups whoare expected to dominatethe balloting. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Colonial racism on displayOffensive images

Many of the subjects ofthis colonial crueltyremain nameless, and for-gotten to history. “ZuluMealtime,” one photoreads. “Bushmen.” “IndianChief.” “Negro Head.” An old film reel shows aFrenchman barking com-mands at two dark-skinneddancers in headdresses socumbersome, their facesare barely visible.But some have been iden-tified, including the great-grandparents of Thuram’s1998 World cup teammateChristian Karembeu,shipped to Paris from theFrench Pacific territory ofNew Caledonia and exhib-ited as “cannibals.”Just when you think the ex-hibit is all about the past, afamiliar venue jumps out:New York’s Coney Islandfeatures in an old “freakshow” poster.

It’s a queasy experience,viewing chained tribaldancers do a white man’sbidding, or Africanwomen stripped and pho-tographed to feed Euro-pean curiosity.

Until just a few genera-tions ago, this is howmost white peoplelearned about those withskin of a different shade.A new Paris exhibit exam-ines how for centuries,colonizers plucked vil-lagers from Africa, theAmericas or the South Pa-cific and put them on dis-play half a world away.The demeaning traditionshaped racist attitudesthat linger today.

Curator Lilian Thuram,a former soccer star andnow an anti-racism advo-cate, hopes the exhibit atthe Quai Branly Museumin Paris makes people

question deep-held beliefsabout the “other.”

“You have to have thecourage to say that eachof us has prejudices, andthese prejudices have ahistory,” he said.

It’s a delicate undertak-ing for a museum: ex-hibiting offensive imageswithout glorifying them,urging visitors to lookcloser and be repulsed.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Dad accused ofhonour killingssheds tears at trial

Extensive toxicology tests done on bodies of threesisters, relative Victims drowned, doctor testifiesA father accused of murder-ing his three daughters andfirst wife to preserve theMuslim family’s honourconvulsed in quiet sobs yes-terday as autopsy photo-graphs were shown incourt.

It was a rare sign of emo-tion for Mohammad Shafia,who earlier in the proceed-ing smiled and chatted ami-ably with his lawyer.

The Shafia’s co-accusedwife and mother of thegirls, Tooba MohammadYahya, was allowed to leavecourt before the testimony,in which a forensic patholo-gist said the femalesdrowned and showed no

signs that they had taken orbeen administered anydrugs or alcohol.

Before the slides wereshown, Crown lawyer Ger-ard Laarhuis warned theycould be distressing.

“These are graphic pho-tographs,” Laarhuis said.“People need to be pre-pared to see them.”

Shafia’s son, Hamed,who is also accused of first-degree murder in thedeaths of his sisters, rubbedhis eyes as the slides show-ing the dead women wereput up on large screens inOntario Superior court.

Bodies of the sisters,Geeti, 13, Sahar, 17, andZainab, 19, were retrievedfrom a submerged car in aKingston, Ont. canal in June2009, along with their fa-ther’s first wife Rona AmirMohammad. THE CANADIAN PRESS

brownback and told himhe sucked, in person#heblowsalot.”

She actually made nosuch comment and saidshe was “just joking withfriends.” But Brownback’soffice, which monitors so-cial media for postingscontaining the governor’sname, saw Sullivan’s postand contacted the Youthin Government program.

Sullivan received ascolding at school and wasordered to send Brown-back an apology letter. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Europe’s debt problemsand the global slowdownhave weakened Canada’seconomy and pose evengraver risks going forward,warns the Organization forEconomic Co-operation andDevelopment.

The OECD said yesterdaythat Canada is currently go-ing through a rough patchof weak growth because ofthe deteriorating externalenvironment.

The OECD expects Cana-da’s economy to muddlethrough and post a soft 1.9per cent advance next year,followed by a stronger 2.5per cent expansion in 2013,but all bets are off if the Eu-ropean debt crisis spreadsbeyond the continent.

“Prospects only improve

if decisive action is takenquickly,” said chief econo-mist Pier Carlo Padoan.

While most of the risksstem from Europe, Canadais not totally blameless, theOECD says, citing “high lev-els of household indebted-ness (that) are erodingconsumer confidence.”

The International Mone-tary Fund and the Econo-mist magazine have flaggedrecord levels of householdindebtedness as risks to theCanadian economy. House-hold debt is at about 150per cent of disposable in-come, an all-time high.

Still, Canada’s economicexpansion over the nexttwo years will vie with theU.S. for tops in the G7 —which also includes euro-

zone members Italy, Franceand Germany. THE CANADIAN PRESS

She was just 13 when Ru-pert Murdoch asked her tosing at his wedding.

Charlotte Church wasgiven a choice: a 100,000-pound fee or a chance togenerate goodwill with themedia magnate by perform-ing for free. She wanted thecash, but her record compa-ny and manager said no, itwas better to make friendswith Murdoch, head of aglobal news and entertain-ment empire.

“Despite my teenagebusiness head screaming‘Think how many tam-agotchies you could buy!’ Iwas pressured into takingthe latter option,” she toldBritain’s press ethics com-mittee. “This strategy failed... for me.”

Church, 25, told Britain’smedia ethics inquiry yester-day that the Murdoch press,and other British tabloids,had ruthlessly tormentedher since she was a child

singing sensation, blowingher credibility “to bits” andbadly damaging her career.

She said press intrusionhad a devastating impact onher family life and particu-larly on her mother. Churchsaid her mother had tried tokill herself in part becauseshe knew a newspaper wasplanning to expose her hus-band’s extramarital affair.

The singer told the in-quiry how cameramen triedto take photos up her skirt

and down her blouse andpublished “intimate” de-tails about her sex life whenshe was just 17. “I’ve beenmade a caricature for solong, and this person por-trayed in the tabloids reallyisn’t me,” she said.

Local tweetsGIVING UPON HIGHRISELIVING

Last weekend I moved — anentirely frustrating and time-consuming ordeal that we allgo through at least a fewtimes in our lives. After 16months in a cookie-cutter con-

do building, I left my highrise rental forsomething entirely different.

I found a newly finished basementapartment in a beautiful Victorian houseon a wide leafy street a mere 15-minutewalk away from my old address. And eventhough my postal code remains the same,

my new place feels a world away from the glass and con-crete wasteland I once called home.

Back on street-level (well, I guess technically I’m belowit) there is a whole world I had forgotten about, a diverseneighbourhood where people manicure their lawns andnext door’s cat prowls by your window.

Subterranean living has its deficits for sure — naturalsunlight is at a minimum and cellphone reception is spot-ty at best. Taking out the garbage has become a real chore

rather than something Icould send down a magical“someone else’s problem”chute.

And, yes, the view leavesa lot to be desired (the viewis dirt; it’s a basement,remember). But you knowwhat? The lookout on the21st floor had its problemstoo. It was unnerving howeasy it was to peer into theprivate goings on of the resi-dents in the adjacent condodevelopment. After a whileit started feeling a little bittoo much like Rear Windowfor my liking.

I never anticipated that abasement would feel lessclaustrophobic than a brandnew apartment, and, yet,your rental dollars go a lotfurther when you investthem underground. Despitethe low ceilings, the spacefeels vast in comparison tomy 500-square-foot cube.

I’m no longer tripping over my furniture and I can actual-ly have more than two guests over for dinner; I just can’tinvite anyone over six-foot-six.

I’m sure the novelty will wear off eventually, but fornow living in a brick-and-mortar-home again is oh socharming. I’m comforted by the ambient noise of the fur-nace and footsteps overhead. Rather than suffocating onrecirculated condo air, I wake up in the morning to arefreshing chill of a real house.

Downtown space is at a premium and buildingupwards is the obvious solution for overcrowded cities.But while vertical living is an unavoidable reality, I’m notsure that people are meant to live 20-something floors upin the air. There’s just something much more humanabout being back down to earth.

U2: Achtung BabySuper Deluxe

Edition Box Set

Longevity in the musicbusiness can be traced to apivotal moment in anartist's career, and for U2,that milestone wasAchtung Baby. The 1991 al-bum represented U2 2.0,the point where the bandreinvented itself. Now fans

can experience the makingof the classic recordingwith a box set that in-cludes nearly as many discsas album releases. The al-bum that spawned suchclassics as One and Mysteri-ous Ways was recorded inBerlin during a tumultuousperiod for the band. Afterexperiencing the mega-suc-cess of The Joshua Tree andthe concert film Rattle andHum, the band was at a

crossroads. So they brokeaway from their families tofind their sound in a dis-tant land. After a great dealof tension, they foundwhat they were looking forwith One, and the rest fellinto place. Not only werethey able to churn out theremainder of the album,but they also recorded thefollow-up, Zooropa. Thecollection consists of sixcompact discs and four

DVDs, including the docu-mentary, From the SkyDown, and a Zoo TV spe-cial. Other goodies includea hardcover book and 16art prints. There’s a scaled-down two-disc set that in-cludes 14 additional tracks,and an uber-deluxe versionthat includes a set of col-lectible vinyl singles, amagnetic puzzle tiled box,and a pair of Bono's trade-mark Fly sunglasses.

Nirvana: NevermindSuper Deluxe

EditionWorking through thehours of material on this20th anniversary celebra-tion of Nirvana’s Never-mind is an unexpectedlymelancholy experience.When Nevermind hit thestreet in 1991, destroyinghair metal in just a fewbars of Smells Like Teen

Spirit, it reshaped notjust rock music but popand punk and America.Listening to the variousversions of Nevermind inthis edition, one of twocommemorative releases,reminds us that no one’sreally come close to carrying the standard inthe years after Nirvana’sfiery flare across thenight sky. The super

deluxe version is both fas-cinatingly deep and need-lessly so at the sametime. There are four discswith 69 cuts that includea remastered version ofthe original album, vari-ous B-sides, live cuts andunreleased versions andeven a few early boombox proto-recordings thatprovide a glimpse at theevolution of Nirvana’s

biggest hits. There’s alsoa book that includes pho-tos and other artifactsfrom the period. Thehighlight of the superdeluxe edition is the Nir-vana: Live at the Para-mount DVD of the band’sOct. 31, 1991, concert inSeattle. Things were juststarting to blow up andthe band is young andpowerful.

The Smiths: TheSmiths Complete

This is a swank box set, inboth CD and vinyl, con-taining all four studio al-bums released in anastounding flurry be-tween 1984 and 1987 andfour more discs of livebits and odds and ends.Morrissey’s sweetlycrooned rancour and cut-ting indignation remain asoothing balm years later,and Johnny Marr’s dia-mond-lattice guitar work

is still every bit as engag-ing as it was in the mid-1980s, despite all thecopycats and pretendersover the years. These al-bums were grenadeslobbed at the establish-ment at the time andshould find fresh ears inthe 21st century. Morris-sey and his mates were re-acting to the growingelitism of the wealthy andthe many inequalities ofmodern society. Many ofthe same themes have re-emerged 25 years later in

the age of Occupy WallStreet. The Smiths haveaged very well. The Queenis Dead and Vicar in a Tu-tu remain vibrant andalive, the sneer still freshon the lips. There is aLight That Never Goes Outand I Want the One ICan’t Have remain just asheartbreakingly sad. Andsongs like How Soon isNow and London still rockwith an unexpected feroc-ity.

I’VE SAVED YOU MONEY... NOW I’M MAKING YOU MONEY

Over the last 15 years I created and sold one of the most successful Internet businesses in Canada, saving thousands of people thousands of dollars.

As you know... there are millions of dollars flowing through the Internet every day. I’ve taken all of my Internet experience and combined it with a website program I created, IncomeActivator.com, to allow you to tap into this money flow.

If you’ve ever wanted to run your own online business, or if you have a website that’s not making the kind of money you thought it would... you’ll be interested in what I have to say.

I show you:1. What people are searching for online. 2. The number of online searches beingdone for any topic or business.3. Which online searches are the mostvaluable and how they can make youmoney.

Then I give you a website and show you how to:

1. Capture these online searches.2. Convert your visitor traffic into variousrevenue streams for yourself.

These are the same techniques I used to make millions of dollars online, and this is the website program I use today.

I understand being broke, and how hard it is to make money and keep things together financially. I’ve been there, done that, and I’m never doing it again. I share with you what I spent years learning, and have combined that into the Income Activator website program allowing you to create your own online income regardless of your computer skills or Internet experience.

Income Activator allows you to begin your own online business, or will help you grow and ease your frustrations with your existing online business.

You will be given techniques to create revenue streams from writing copy to assembling pictures or videos on your website.

When you understand what to do, and have the Income Activator website program

that allows you to do it, only then will you realize the wealth the Internet can bring you.

It will change your life... it changed mine.

My name is Lee Romanov and I launched one of the first Internet businesses in North America that made millions of dollars, even in the 90s.

After recently selling my business to Torstar (one of the largest media companies in Canada and owner of the Toronto Star) I combined all of my Internet experience along with my immense frustration of technology and created a website program called IncomeActivator.com.

You may know me as a Consumer Advocate helping people save thousands of dollars off their car insurance rates through the company I created, InsuranceHotline.com. It’s a rate comparison website providing the lowest quote to drivers from over 30 insurance companies. You may also know me from my Talk TV show on CP24, or from my columns in either the Toronto Star or Globe and Mail.

Income Activator allows anyone, at any level, to own and operate a successful online business exactly like the pros. You can activate multiple revenue streams with the click of a mouse while having complete control over your website. You can put up your own pages, pictures, videos, links, create questionnaires and collect data even if you’re a one finger typist; and not at all computer savvy.

You can tap into the millions of dollars flowing through the Internet every day.

If you don’t have a product or service to sell, you can simply provide information on a topic you are interested in. IncomeActivator.com gives you the ‘know how’ and website to put this it into action.

You can put up ads that pay you when a visitor clicks on them, sell products or books, or get paid from lead generation, all with the click of a mouse. Income Activator works for any business imaginable.

A few weeks back IncomeActivator.com helped Pat Foran of CTV with the launch of his website and new book The Smart Savvy Young Consumer. Pat would not describe himself as an Internet or computer guy. He’s a broadcaster, consumer advocate, and author, who has complete control over his website (www.PatForan.com) and Internet business where you can go right now and buy his books.

I lived through the frustration of trying to get clear answers to Internet questions.

I spent tens of thousands of dollars looking to experts for answers... like how to get search engines to display your website at the top of the search pages. What I found was that each internet expert had only one piece of the puzzle, and none of their solutions came with the technology to put this into action.

I learned... if it’s Not Actionable... it’s Not Useful.

I know from experience that an online business can be Extremely Profitable and can truly get people out of their financial struggles and allow them to do the things they’re interested in and meaningful to their lives.

I am sick and tired of seeing these ‘Get Rich Quick’ schemes that take people’s money and Do Not Work.

My heart goes out to business owners who spend good money only to have their websites out of date the day after it goes online. If you can’t use your website as a marketing tool every day, it’ll never be much more than an expensive brochure. You need to be able to go in and tweak your website regularly to capture new online search traffic, and expand your revenue streams.

If you’re running Google AdSense on your website, Income Activator has it’s own Pay Per Click program where you can keep 100% of the click revenue. It also has a built in Referral Program that tracks and bills for lead generation. You can also send out messages to your email lists, or create an online store that tracks and bills for you. It also has a secured Member’s section you can activate.

Income Activator is designed to make you successful, not dependant, like other programs out there.

If you have a website you can easily transfer over your content to begin activating multiple revenue streams I’ve made it embarrassingly simple.

I also learned never take advice from someone that’s never made money online.

When creating Income Activator I included both my marketing strategies and revenue streams.

Income Activator provides a real opportunity for wealth. It’s not a get rich quick scheme.

If what I’m saying is of interest, you need to be proactive as I’m limiting the sale of the Income Activator website program to the first 2,100 people at an introductory price. You will then become part of a select group of people sharing their knowledge while growing their online business.

Owning your own online business is fun and exciting... it can make you rich when you know what to do and have the technology to do it. I am making myself available for the next 3 weeks to answer any questions related to online marketing or Income Activator specifically. I invite you visit www.IncomeActivator.com now. I am also giving away one Income Activator website for Free... all you need to do is tell me your best online marketing story.

What I know now is that……if it’s Actionable……it’s Valuable!

Sarah’s KeyGenre: DramaDirector: Gilles Paquet-BrennerStars: Kristin Scott Thomas,Melusine Mayance, Niels Arestrup811

In this potent Holocaustdrama, Julia (Kristin ScottThomas) is an Americaninvestigative journalistworking at a contempo-rary magazine in Paris. Sheseeks elusive facts regard-ing the infamous Vel’d’Hiv Roundup, the 1942mass arrest of that city’sJews, many of whom wereturned over to occupyingNazis by their collabora-tionist fellow Frenchmen.As Julia probes the poorlydocumented events of1942, she uncovers evi-dence of a personal con-nection to them, evidencethat changes everythingshe knows about herworld. Once this truth isknown, it can never be un-known, no matter howmany people — her hus-band included, insist thatit’s ancient history. Mean-while, director Gilles Pa-quet-Brenner (workingfrom Tatiana de Rosnay’sinternational bestseller assource material) intro-duces us to Sarah, a 10-year-old Jewish girl livingwith her parents and four-year-old brother inwartime Paris. When thegendarmes arrive at herhome in 1942 to do theNazis’ bidding, quick-thinking Sarah (MelusineMayance) hides her broth-er in a secret locked closet,promising to return forhim. She keeps the keyclose, little suspecting how

Not rain, not ice, not snow,not sleet can keep yourdoggie off his feet.

People who own dogsbenefit health-wise fromtheir pet’s need to go forwalks all year long.

A recent study at theUniversity of Calgaryfound that having a dogkeeps owners active andwalking, even in horren-dous weather.

This is significant be-cause a large percentage ofCanadians — 64 per cent— are inactive during thewinter. Who can blamethem? In Calgary, in thedead of winter, sunset oc-curs less than eight hoursafter sunrise and the mean

temperature ranges from -8.5 to 1.5 degrees C, saythe authors. There’s noth-ing like a pair of bigbrown, begging eyes andsome adorable furry eye-brows to get you to donyour mitts, hat, boots andparka, and get outside.

“By acting as cues forphysical activity, dogs mayhelp their owners remain

active across seasons,” saysParabhdeep Lail, lead au-thor of the study and amedical student at the Uni-versity of Calgary.

He and colleagues stud-ied the walking habits of428 Calgarians in bothsummer and winter. In thegroup, there were 115 dogowners.

The dog owners were at

least three times morelikely than non-owners tobe consistent about walk-ing in their neighbour-hoods for recreation, thestudy found.

“This can have a posi-tive effect on others in thecommunity,” reported Lail.

Seeing neighbours out-doors walking their dogsencourages non-owners to

get out and walk andmakes people feel safer intheir communities.

Lail and his colleaguessuggest that dog-friendlyneighbourhoods — includ-ing housing that allowsdogs and parks that sup-port dogs — may assist inenhancing populationhealth by promoting phys-ical activity.

A new study shows that dog owners stay more active than their counterparts during thewinter Lead author suggests they can have positive effects beyond just increased activity

John Cacioppo, an expertin the biological effects of loneliness, wants peopleto know that feeling lonelyhas nothing to do with being alone. You can sufferfrom loneliness yet be surrounded by people, ifyou feel as if you have noone you can trust or con-fide in.

“It’s the subjectiveexperience of lonelinessthat is harmful, not the ac-tual number of social con-tacts a person has,” hesays.

When loneliness devel-ops into a chronic condi-tion, it becomes a risk toboth mental and physicalhealth.

You’ll sleep like a baby‚ literallyLoneliness causes sleep tobecome fragmented.

“When you’re sleeping,your guard is down. Ifyou’re lonely your brainwill subconsciously knowthere’s no one out there to

protect you and this inse-curity is what causes youto fret,” explains LianneKurina, assistant professorof epidemiology at theUniversity of Chicago.

Fatigue takes over asyour body has less time torepair and recuperate.

You’ll get comfort fromcupcakes, not company Lonely people seek sourcesof pleasure that aren’t af-filiated with others. Theirbody craves, and abuses,pleasurable substancessuch as fatty or sugaryfoods and alcohol. In a

way, it’s a form of self-medication, as these pro-vide a superficial, shortterm high and make up forthe lack of dopamine pres-ent in their system.

“Lonely people cave inso easily because as theirbrain is already on thelook out for so manythreats, it becomes lesswell tuned to controlling,”explains Cacioppo.

You’ll be more prone tocatching the fluWe are genetically de-signed to adapt to loneli-ness. We become morevulnerable to viruses asour body focuses on fight-ing bacteria. “Viruses are affiliated withhuman contact (sneezing,saliva) but if you’re lonelyyour brains identifiesphysical contact as non ex-

istent or hostile so drivesall your energy into heal-ing cuts or abrasions,” saysCacioppo.

Stress will take over yourbody Chronic loneliness acti-vates the sympatheticnervous system. Responsi-ble for coordinating thebody’s ‘fight or flight’ re-sponse to stress, the sys-tem is designed to preparethe body for loomingthreat.

This state of alert trig-gers a number of physio-logical changes. Vascularresistance goes up, tight-ening of the arteries,which raises blood pres-sure. Levels of cortisol, thestress hormone used as anemergency supply of ener-gy to boost the immunesystem, increase.”

Now that the holiday seasonis fast approaching, I’m onceagain confused and, more im-portantly, stressed about of-fice holiday gift giving.When to give, what to giveand how much to spend.Stressed for the Holidays

Dear Stressed for the Holi-days,

The holidays are a stress-ful time for many people,so let’s first try and take alittle bit of the stress away.

Lets deal with the easyquestion: How much tospend?

First and foremost, youshould only spend whatyou can afford. It is foolishto put yourself in debt just

to buy someone a present.Anybody who would expectyou to do that is not worthgiving a present to, in myhumble opinion.

Secondly, at the office,remember you technicallynever “give up” the ladder,so if your boss buys yousomething, you are not re-

quired to buy them some-thing back. However, re-member a goodhand-written thank-younote will go a very longway!

And although I’m notone to push for office gifts,if everyone really wants toexchange presents, then a“Secret Santa,” where youbuy for one person, is justfine.

But remember to stick tothe agreed-upon budgetand more importantly re-member to be tasteful inwhat you buy.

The entire office will seethis and being the officeclown is not always a goodthing. In fact, what was fun-

ny at the time you bought itin the store can be a big dis-aster in a professional officesetting a few days later.

Deep breath, it is all go-ing to be OK. Just makeyour list, set your budgetand stick to it.

Oh and one final impor-tant rule: Don’t wait untilthe last minute; go do yourshopping now and get itover with.

You will love having yourfeet up on a cold winter’sevening when everyoneelse is shopping andgrumpy.

Caps fire Boudreau, while Canes can Maurice on Black Monday for NHLcoaches Hunter steps behind D.C. bench and Muller given Carolina job

Shuffling the decks

Washington captain Alex Ovechkin talks with the Capitals’ new head coach Dale Hunter yesterday at practice in Arlington, Va.

PABLO MARTINEZ MONSIVAIS/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Trouble was in the air atleast a couple weeks beforethe axe came down onBruce Boudreau and PaulMaurice.

With the WashingtonCapitals and Carolina Hurri-canes losing more thanthey were winning, bothmen knew they were onthin ice before getting firedhours apart yesterday.

Boudreau and Mauriceshared similar headaches.

The captains of bothteams are struggling might-ily. As of yesterday, EricStaal of the Hurricanes wasa league-worst minus-17and on pace for his lowestpoint total since his rookieyear. Washington’s Alex

Ovechkin, once the NHL’sundisputed goal-scoringking, was tied for 38th inthat category.

The most telling sign oftrouble was when bothmen started making boldmoves. Boudreau feudedwith Ovechkin this seasonand scratched veterans JoelWard and Alex Semin, butWashington still lost six ofeight. Maurice benched de-fenceman Tomas Kaberleon Sunday for a game Car-olina lost 4-3 in Ottawa.

Boudreau had been un-

der fire for a calendar year,dating back to a long slidelast December and punctu-ated with a sweep by Tam-pa Bay in the second roundof the playoffs. Washingtonnamed former Capital DaleHunter as his replacement.

“I think Bruce came inhere and emptied thetank,” Capitals GM GeorgeMcPhee said in Arlington,Va. “When that happens,you get a new coach wherethe tank is full and see if itmakes a difference.”

Maurice was in his sec-

ond stint with the Hurri-canes and was expected tohelp a team with modesttalent overachieve. Withthe playoffs slipping fromview, Carolina GM JimRutherford decided to see ifKirk Muller can get moreout of the players thanMaurice.

“We feel confident thathe is the right man to leadour team now and in the fu-ture,” said Rutherford.

Both Muller and Hunterwill be NHL head coachesfor the first time — Mullerarrives from the AHL’s Mil-waukee Admirals andHunter from the OHL’s Lon-don Knights. THE CANADIAN PRESS
