As efforts continued to re-cover the body of a Cal-gary man fromChestermere Lake yester-day, RCMP reminded wa-ter enthusiasts to alwaystake proper precautions.

Richis Bonda Katum-bay, 33, was not wearing alife-jacket when heslipped off a tube and intothe lake.

“You can never under-estimate the use of safetyequipment, including life-jackets and personal flota-tion devices,” said StaffSgt. Glenn Henry of theChestermere RCMP.

Henry pointed out that,regardless of swimmingability, it can often takerescue crews a prolongedperiod of time to organizean aquatic rescue.

Numerous Chester-mere residents gatheredin shock to watch the re-

covery efforts conductedby an Edmonton diveteam yesterday afternoon.

“It’s just terrible,” saidSheila Gillett, who haslived in the area for 12years.

The drowning was thethird in southern Albertain a week.

A 33-year-old Redclifffather died on July 30 af-ter he jumped into CavanLake without a life-jacketin a bid to aid his three-year-old son. That sameday, a 15-year-olddrowned in Lethbridge’sOldman River.

Alcohol is believed tobe a factor.

A boat full of politicianssounds like the setup to abad joke.

But there was no kid-ding around as local andprovincial leaders paddledtheir way to victory yester-day during a charity drag-on boat race for SlaveLake.

For the first time, theCalgary Dragon Boat Festi-val chose to put on a VIPrace to show support forthe fire-ravaged town inCentral Alberta.

“Because of what hap-

pened in Slave Lake andhow challenging that was,we decided to do a special

race,” said volunteer di-rector and former may-oral candidate JoeConnelly.

Doug Griffiths, a candi-date for the Alberta Pro-gressive Conservativeparty leadership, said itwas his first time on adragon boat.

“It was a blast, it was somuch fun,” he said. “Itprobably made it thatmuch sweeter that it wasa boat full of conserva-tives and I was at thehelm.”

They defied the bishops tosupport U.S. PresidentBarack Obama’s health-care overhaul. NowCatholic hospitals are dis-mayed the law may forcethem to cover birth con-trol free of charge to theiremployees.

A provision in the lawexpanded preventivehealth-care benefits forwomen, and the adminis-tration said last week thatmust include birth controlwith no copays. TheCatholic Health Associa-tion says a proposed con-science exemption is sonarrowly written it wouldapply only to houses ofworship. Some other reli-gious-based organizationsagree.

“I call this the parish

housekeeper exemption —that’s about all it covers,”said Sister Carol Keehan,president of the 600-mem-ber umbrella group forCatholic hospitals. “Whatwe are trying to do is makeworkable the conscienceprotection the administra-tion says it is willing togive.”

Most Catholic hospitalsdo not cover birth controlfor their employees, Kee-han said, but in some casesthey are required to coverit by state law. Doctors car-ing for patients at the hos-pitals are not restrictedfrom prescribing birthcontrol.

Polls show that Ameri-cans overwhelmingly sup-port greater access to birthcontrol. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Prime Minister StephenHarper left yesterday on asix-day swing through LatinAmerica — first stop,Brazil, the world’s seventh-largest economy. Harper’smain goal is to boost tradebetween that country andCanada, but he will alsotalk about security in theregion.

Harper is trying to ce-ment trade ties with LatinAmerica and the Caribbean.An April 2009 diplomaticcable from the U.S. embassyin Ottawa, published byWikiLeaks, suggests theprime minister believesCanada could hold moresway with the United Statesif his country had strong re-lations with other countries

in the region.“Harper had long been

favourably impressed byAustralia’s ability to exertoutsized influence with theU.S. in particular — andother powers as well — byemphasizing its relations inits own neighbourhood,”the cable says, referring to aconversation with a seniorForeign Affairs official.

“PM Harper hoped togain similar benefits forCanada by increased atten-tion to Latin America andthe Caribbean.”

Bond planto aid Italy,SpainThe European Central Banksays it will “actively imple-ment” a bond-purchaseprogram that could boostSpanish and Italian bondsand drive down interestyields that threaten theheavily indebted countries’budgets.

That could help Romeand Madrid fend off markettrouble until a eurozonebailout fund is approved tohelp them. Italy and Spainare trying to avoid financialcollapses like those thathave forced Greece, Irelandand Portugal to seek inter-national bailout loans.

Responding to marketpressure, Italian Prime Min-ister Silvio Berlusconipromised on Friday to bal-ance the country’s budgetby 2013, a year early, and tobring forward aconstitutional amendmentrequiring the governmentto balance its budget.

U.S. CREDIT RATING

Tea partyrapped fordowngradeA senior political adviserto President Barack Oba-ma blamed thedowngrade of the U.S.credit rating on tea partyRepublicans, whom hesaid were unwilling tocompromise on how toreduce the federal debt.

David Axelrod said yes-terday that the decisionby credit-rating agencyStandard & Poor’s todowngrade the U.S. fromAAA to AA+ was stronglyinfluenced by weeks ofstandoff between Democ-rats and Republicans. Hecalled the action “a tea

party downgrade”brought on by lawmakerswho were willing to seethe country default to gettheir way. He alsocriticized Republicanpresidential candidatesfor not speaking up infavour of compromise.

Meanwhile, formerFederal Reservechairman AlanGreenspan said heexpects the stock-marketslide to continue in thewake of the downgrade,but added he doesn’t seeany risk in investing inthe U.S. and S&P’s actionwon’t change that.

He also said that whilethe downgrade “hit anerve,” he can’t foresee ascenario in which theU.S. will default on itsdebts. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TAKING ASTAND ONSTREET SUDS

Just when you thought thissummer couldn’t get anyhotter, our mayor ups theante and gets behind thesenewfangled food trucks oncity streets.

There’s only one thing that couldmake a tasty street-side burger or barbe-cue even better: a nice cold one. Too badwe’re still stuck in the post-prohibitionera.

No matter how progressive you maythink we are, the provincial laws that

govern the sale of alcohol are still stuck in the dayswhen the sale of liquor was tightly restricted to appeaseprohibitionists.

Just take a look at the way booze is controlledcompared to other places around the world. In mostplaces in Europe, there’s nothing wrong with having a

picnic in the park with abottle of wine. In Italy, barsaren’t forced to close at amandated time and in De-mark, there’s nothingstrange about walking outof a pub and jumping in acab with a cold bottle ofTuborg in your hand.

Why is it that our think-ing is still rooted in the1920s? Who would it hurtto be able to sidle up toone of the new fancy foodtrucks, order a burger,some fries and a beer andenjoy one’s self in the sun-shine? The answer is sim-ple: no one.

Now, I’m certain that ifone day bars weren’tforced to close at 2 a.m., ifwe were able to purchase acase of Traditional atSobeys and if there wereno crime in walking down17th Avenue on a Saturdaynight with a can ofOriginal 16, it would notlead to anarchy. Would the

police be overwhelmed with drunks parading up anddown the streets? Could they still not arrest thebelligerent and over-intoxicated?

Last weekend my sweetheart and I spent anafternoon on 17th Avenue. Instead of waiting in line atan eatery, we got a pizza and a couple of tall cans in thepark. We weren’t a nuisance and we certainly weren’tintoxicated. We were two adults enjoying an alcoholicbeverage on a nice day. And it was also illegal. Butwhere is the harm?

Let’s change our thinking when it comes to boozeand maybe one day we can look forward to a deliciousmeal from a food truck washed down with a beverageof choice, alcoholic or otherwise. One can only hope.

The offspring werehealthy and fertile,according to a paper pub-lished online in the scien-tific journal Cell.

Members of theresearch team, led byMitinori Saitou, said theybelieve their success mayhelp in the developmentof infertility treatmentsin humans.

Experts outside thegroup say it’s an impor-tant first step toward in-fertility treatmentalthough there would bea long way yet to go.

“This is a very good ex-periment for thinkingabout treatment of infer-tile man but a very verylong way,” said Toshio Su-da, developmental biolo-gy professor at KeioUniversity.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Off-the-rackperformanceenhancement?Baseball seems to have come throughits Steroid Era and is now apparentlytrying to avoid a Mammal Era.

Officials have warned players inboth the major and minor leagues tostop using deer antler spray because itcould be construed as a performance-enhancing drug.

The substance is taken from theantlers of young deer, ground up andmanufactured into a spray which is in-

gested under the tongue.According to Sports Illustrated, the

velvet from young deer antlerscontains an “insulin-like growthfactor, which mediates the level of hu-man growth hormone in the body.”

IGF-1 has been banned by, amongother groups, the World Anti-DopingAgency because one of its uses is tobuild muscle and cut fat.

Major league baseball, with a recenthistory tainted by tawdry stories of hit-ters and pitchers juicing to becomestronger and faster, banned one specif-ic brand because, according to SportsIllustrated’s report, it has “potentiallycontaminated nutritionalsupplements,” namelymethyltestosterone, a banned steroid.TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

Alexisonfire is splitting up after two members decided to leave the group.

DARREN CALABRESE/THE CANADIAN PRESS

Ten years goneAfter a decade together, Juno-winning rockers

Alexisonfire break up, say split is ‘not really’ amicableJuno Award-winning post-hardcore rockers Alexison-fire are splitting up aftertwo members decided toleave the group in a break-up that frontman GeorgePettit says is “not really”amicable.

The St. Catharines, Ont.,band announced their deci-sion in a lengthy note post-ed to their website, writtenby Pettit.

“After 10 years, Alexison-fire has decided to partways,” he wrote. “Was thebreak-up amicable? Not re-ally. Was it necessary? Prob-ably.

“Regardless, the mem-bers of this band are myfamily and I wish themnothing but good fortune.”

The band issued its self-titled debut album in 2002,and followed up with

2004’s platinum-sellingbreakthrough Watch Out, amoody fusion of emo, met-al and hardcore that wonthe group a passionatemass audience who identi-fied with their searching,angst-ridden lyrics.

The group’s third album— 2006’s Crisis — openedin the top spot on the Cana-dian charts en route to plat-inum sales, while ’09’s OldCrows/Young Cardinals —

which could now stand astheir final full-length —opened at No. 2 and alsosold briskly.

But as the band wasgathering commercial andcritical steam, singer/gui-tarist Dallas Green was win-ning just as much acclaimwith his solo project, Cityand Colour.

Beginning with 2005’splatinum-selling Some-times, Green’s project —which earned the tattooedcrooner two Junos separatefrom his work in Alexison-fire — also picked up mo-mentum with each passingalbum. His third album, Lit-tle Hell, debuted at No. 1 onthe Canadian charts whenit was released in June andhas reached as high as the28th spot on the U.S. Bill-board chart.

And Pettit said thatGreen privately revealedhis intention to leave Alex-isonfire almost a year agodue to the burgeoning suc-cess of City and Colour.

“Trying to balance hislife between touring withus and at the same timequelling the success of Cityand Colour was a task toodifficult to continue manag-ing,” Pettit wrote.

“He informed us hewanted to focus his effortson City and Colour.”

At that point, Pettit said,the band planned to soldierahead by finding a replace-ment for Green. But thenguitarist Wade MacNeil ac-cepted an offer more re-cently to also departAlexisonfire for anotherband, and at that point, thegroup decided to dissolve

completely.“Replacing one guitar

player/singer/writer wassomething we thought waspossible, but replacing twowould run the serious riskof perverting the legacy ofwhat we had achieved,” Pet-tit said. “So we all took agood hard swallow and de-cided to end it so it wouldnever get old and ugly.”THE CANADIAN PRESS

Farewell tour?

Alexisonfire frontmanGeorge Pettit said that theband has talked about re-leasing projects relating totheir 10th anniversary, andthat a farewell tourthrough Canada had alsobeen discussed.

An honestly funny bookAfter it went viral online, the children’s book Go the F— to Sleep became a bestseller —

before it was even released Metro sat down with the author to talk about the sensation

When novelist AdamMansbach’s baby daughterVivian wouldn’t go to bed,he took the phrase thatran through his head anddecided to set it to a poem.He got his friend RicardoCortés on board to illus-trate, and the result, thechildren’s book Go the F—to Sleep, is now the pub-lishing success of the year.Produced by the smallBrooklyn press AkashicBooks, the title reachedNo. 1 on the New YorkTimes bestseller list — be-fore it was even published.

With 400,000 copies of thebook in print, Mansbach isjust as surprised as you.

Can you give readers a little

backstory on the huge wave

of popularity for the book?

I gave a reading from thebook on April 23, monthsbefore it was to be pub-lished in October, just totry it out. It was at this artsalon in Philadelphia and Iwas the last one to go on. Iread after this 97-year-oldtap dancer, which is atough act to follow. Thereaction was so strong.People asked me about thebook and I said they couldpre-order it on Amazon.The next morning, Ithought to check it and be-

fore that reading we didn’teven have an Amazonranking, and when Ichecked it, it was at 125. Iwrite novels — if they hov-er around the thousandmark when they’re pub-lished, that’s respectable.

So from that Amazon

ranking, it just picked up.

Right. The first wave ofmedia followed and allthey had to go on was acover and a sample versebut it obviously hit achord. Then PDFs we sentout to book-sellers leakedand they started ricochet-ing on the Internet. I’vetalked to people who toldme they got the forward ofthe PDF 50 times. It was

just all over in a crazy way.People thought it was partof a brilliant marketingcampaign. Meanwhile, Iwas trying to file cease anddesist orders.

Do you think anyone will ac-

tually read it to their baby?

I certainly hope not. I’mgetting tons of e-mails say-ing they are going to giveit as a baby shower gift or aFather’s Day gift. Peopleeven tell me they are buy-ing it for their kids to giveto them when they’re old-er, when they have theirown kids so they knowwhat they went through.

Are you doing a second book?

It’s certainly tempting. But

I don’t want it to be a crap-py book just to keep thisthing going. This is goodbecause it’s an originalidea. Some people are like,‘Why don’t you do EatYour Fu—ing Vegetables?’And I’m like, ‘That’s kindof funny but I don’t knowif that’s a whole book.’ Iwant to reinvent some-thing. But we are doing aG-rated version of thebook. Johnny (the book’spublisher) has a five-year-old and a three-year-old.And he read it to his kids— he censored it while hewent — and his kidsthought it was hysterical.Kids get it — they knowthey are pulling all this s—on us.

BREAKING DOWN BIOPLASTIC I recently bought a toothbrush made from bioplastic. Will it really breakdown in my backyard composter? Erin of Vancouver, BC

It’s possible,but I can’tspeak fromexperience.

Check thepackaging to see if yourtoothbrush meets stan-dards ensuring that it’scertified as biodegradable

and compostable. You should notice a

black and white logo witha leaf and an arrow thatsays “compostable.”

This means it meetsthe Biodegradable Prod-ucts Institute, or BPI, stan-dards for compostability(ASTM 6400 D99 andASTM 6868).

Some may also men-tion “European Bioplas-tics standards (EN13432).”

In 1999, BPI created a

certification program thatrequires the product todecompose within 60 to180 days. But that’s in acommercial compost fa-cility. So if your city hassuch a thing, and Vancou-ver does, you’re in luck.

As for backyard com-posting, bio-resins willtake longer to break-down.

Books are made of paper.Paper comes from trees.So how can a major bookpublishing company be-come environmentallyfriendly?

Scholastic Canada is oneof this country’s largestpublishers — and distribu-tors — of children’s booksand educational materials.The company has recentlyundertaken a broad rangeof eco-friendly initiatives,covering everything fromthe paper they use to thetrucks that deliver theirproducts.

“Books are not dispos-able or consumable prod-ucts, used once and thenthrown in the trash,” saysWendy Graham, Scholas-tic’s vice-president of edu-cation. “They aretreasured, kept, shared,read and re-read, inhomes, schools and li-braries. Books, especiallychildren’s books, are verymuch re-used, and are alsorecyclable when they areworn out.”

Adhering closely toguidelines from the ForestStewardship Council (FSC),Scholastic has set someambitious environmentalstandards. FSC paper isused whenever possible,

and use of recycled materi-als is being pushed to thepractical maximum.

“In whatever form weare producing books, weneed to make sure thatthey are environmentallyresponsible and affordablefor the masses,” Grahamsays.

That’s important, be-cause newer publishingformats — e-books andother digital platforms —can also pose significantenvironmental problems.

“We need to realize thatdedicated e-readers andthe other small electronicdevices on which digitalbooks are read are createdmade from non-renewableresources: plastics, rareearths and other metals,”notes Graham. “They are

not easily recyclable whenshiny new models comealong.”

The commitment toeco-friendly paper goes allthe way to the copying ma-chines in Scholastic’s of-fices.

Biodegradable plastic is

used in packaging, and alldelivery companies —large and small — have tobe running clean, fuel-effi-cient vehicles. All this isnecessary, Graham con-cludes, because books willcontinue to be an essen-tial, hugely important part

of education and thepreservation of humanknowledge — far into thefuture.

“Printed books are atechnology that will bewith us for some time.”

“The concrete, physicalexperience of a book re-

mains important foryoung readers. Its tactile,visual and linear nature isperfectly suited to quietsharing and learning, andthe development of earlyliteracy skills.”

Setting a school precedentAs first-generation students, Muhammad Cheema and Zayan Rafeek are hoping to establish family traditions

Their future areas of studydiffer, but MuhammadCheema and Zayan Rafeekshare a common connec-tion beyond friendship:each is a trailblazer withintheir families in the pursuitof higher learning.

Both bound for Toronto'sRyerson University in thefall, the pair will be amonga distinct group of newcom-ers welcomed into the froshfold, among the first intheir families to make theleap to college or university.

Rafeek is enrolled in thebusiness management pro-gram at Ryerson. The Cana-dian-born son of Sri Lankanimmigrants, the 19-year-oldsaid his father had to startworking at an early age af-ter Rafeek's grandfatherpassed away.

“(My parents) kepttelling me ... life would beeasier if they had continuedtheir education,” he re-called in a recent interviewfollowing First Year in 40Minutes, a pre-orientationworkshop at the universi-ty's downtown campus.

“(My father) would keeptelling me, `Keep studying,keep studying, no matterwhat you do keep study-ing,”' he added. “I thinkthat really motivated me tostudy hard. And getting in-

to Ryerson, that was thebiggest motivation.”

“There is a sense of pridetheir son has gotten intouniversity,” said Rafeek,adding that his parentswant him to be a role mod-el for his 11-year-old broth-er.

The only male amongfive children, including aset of twin girls, Cheemashoulders similar expecta-tions of setting an examplefor siblings.

Cheema follows a loftypost-secondary precedentset by his sister, who is go-ing into her third year oflife sciences at the Universi-ty of Toronto.

With aspirations as achild to go into the AirForce, the 18-year-old decid-ed to pursue studies in a re-

lated field, and is headinginto the aerospace engi-neering program.

Cheema recalled whenhis family departed theirhome country of Pakistan,his father, who worked asan administrator, had sin-gled him out, telling his sonhe was leaving his workand life there behind for hisbenefit.

“With that on my shoul-ders, I'm entering into post-secondary, and it is a lot ofpressure, but I guess I haveto take it on,” said Cheema.“I have to accept it, I haveto be grateful for the oppor-tunities it's given for me,it's provided for me.”

Five years since arriving

in Canada, he said it's beena “pretty smooth ride,”learning English, hittingthe books and mixing withothers and forging friend-ships.

Despite his achieve-

ments to date, Cheema saideducation remains “basical-ly every day's topic” on thehome front, with the em-phasis from his family oneducation leading to better-ment.

“A person who hasknowledge, a person whohas not - the two can nevercompare,” said Cheema.“Money comes and goes,you can get better jobs,worse jobs, good times, badtimes, but the personalitythat develops through edu-cation, there's no replace-ment for it.”

Part of Cheema andRafeek's preview of campuslife involved learning moreabout the university's Tri-Mentoring Program.

One aspect of the pro-gram involves matchingfirst-year students with up-per-year mentor studentsfrom the same faculty andprogram who share thesame language and similarcultural and ethnic back-grounds.THE CANADIAN PRESS

Curtis was racing in theCASCAR circuit but dur-ing his off times wouldwork on a farm. When hisdad started talking abouta winery Curtis was in-trigued. That was sixyears ago and now Field-

ing Estate Winery is turn-ing a profit, their winesare winning numerousawards and even the skep-tical accountant is im-pressed.

As Ken prepares tohand the reins of the busi-

ness over to Curtis he islooking towards the fu-ture and creating newventures.

His advice? “Buy a fran-chise. You have to stickwith it. A lot of peoplequit too soon.”

From Subway Sand-wiches and stock cars toaward-winning Canadianwine, Ken and CurtisFielding have taken thechecked flag and are ontheir way to the winner’scircle.

Bochy decries ‘racist’ commentGiants manager BruceBochy has criticized a na-tionally syndicated radiohost for what he says is a“racist” comment aboutSan Francisco reliever Ra-mon Ramirez.

Radio host Tony Brunoreferred to Ramirez as an“illegal alien.” He also

called Bochy a “coward” ina Twitter post following Fri-day night’s benches-clear-ing brawl between thePhillies and Giants. Themayhem came afterRamirez plunked ShaneVictorino in the back in thesixth inning of the Phillies’9-2 victory.

Bruno later deleted histweet and apologized on hisFacebook page.

Ramirez is from the Do-minican Republic. He saidyesterday he is in the U.S.legally and wouldn’t be ableto work in the majorleagues otherwise.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A final chore of summercamp for the coaches ofCanada’s junior men’shockey team was postingthe names of the 47 invi-tees on a white board in or-der of preference.

That doesn’t mean headcoach Don Hay and hiscrew are going to get whothey want.

The names are on mov-able cards, so Hay, assis-tants George Burnett andRyan Huska and HockeyCanada head scout KevinPrendergast could shuffleaccording to their opin-ions. The depth chart was

to be assembled followingyesterday’s intra-squadgame in Fort McMurray, Al-ta., to conclude the six-daycamp.

But once the hockey sea-son starts, those nameswill circulate around thatwhite board, and NHL clubcommitments could causesome to disappear.

There was enough tal-ent on display at the sum-mer camp in Edmonton toindicate Canada can wingold at the 2012 world jun-ior hockey championshipstarting Dec. 26 in Edmon-ton and Calgary.

The goaltenders weresolid and the defencemenwere deep in size and tal-ent. The forwards have theskill and smarts to play ashifty brand of offence.

How much of that talentwill be available to Hay inDecember? Hay may beforced to look lower on thewhite board when hechooses about 35 for his se-lection camp in Calgary.

“You look at the highdraft picks, the second-year players, there’s a goodpossibility they might notbe here so you have to eval-uate,” Hay said. “For us, we

have to have a feel forwhere that depth chart is,what type of players we’relooking for to fill in theholes and then watch howthey play in Septemberand October.”

After a run of fivestraight gold medals from

2005 to 2009, Canada tooksilver in 2010 in Saskatoonand was runner-up againthis year in Buffalo, N.Y.

There are seven playerseligible to play for Canadaa second straight year.They would provide valu-able experience in a tour-nament for 18- and19-year-olds. GoaltenderMark Visentin, defence-man Erik Gudbranson andforwards Brett Connolly,Sean Couturier, QuintonHowden, Ryan Johansenand Jaden Schwartz are allpossible returnees.THE CANADIAN PRESS

Level of Team Canada’s talent will depend largely on which players can stick with NHL clubs

Ex-caddie, Scottrejoice in win, Tigerfalls out of contention

After missing three months with a leg injury, Tiger Woods finished a tournament forthe first time since the Masters in April and closed with a 70 yesterday to tie for37th. Adam Scott was nearly flawless to earn his first World Golf Championship title.He celebrated with a caddie who has won quite a few more. Steve Williams, firedlast month by Tiger Woods after a 12-year partnership, felt like a bigger winnerwhen Scott rolled in one last birdie for a 5-under 65 and a four-shot victory in theBridgestone Invitational. Williams, who carried Woods’ bag for 72 wins — including13 majors and 16 world titles — called it “the best win of my life.” THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
