The Queensway Carleton Hospital is to perform up to 3,500 additional surgeries a year after receiving a $10.6-million boost to its annual budget. The new provincial funding is expected to add five new surgical beds to the 50 that the hospital currently has. It is also expected to pay for extra nursing shifts to keep the

Severe weather topples Bluesfest stage, injures three, scatters thousands

hospital’s operating rooms running for longer throughout the year. Faced with a $2-million budget shortfall earlier this year, the hospital had braced for cuts to elective surgeries for up to 10 weeks. The first two weeks of slowdowns occurred in July, and another two are scheduled for this month. The slowdowns mean the hospital is only staffing

two of its eight operating rooms. With the cash infusion, the hospital is not expected to make any further rollbacks to surgery for the remainder of the fiscal year, with the exception of routine weeklong slowdowns during Christmas and March break, said Tom Schonberg, the Queensway Carleton’s chief executive. That means more patients,

particularly those awaiting day surgery, could face shorter delays. “Any time we increase our capacity, that is positive on wait times,” Schonberg said. The additional funding, which covers the post-construction operating costs of the hospital’s recently expanded facility, increases its annual operating budget to $175 million. In exchange for the funding, the Queensway Carleton has pledged to treat a higher number of patients. The

hospital currently performs about 17,000 in-patient and day surgeries annually. The hospital is considered a vital health hub in an area of Ottawa that’s the fastest growing, with about 370,000 residents, or one-third of Eastern Ontario’s population. It also has the city’s highest rate of seniors (13 per cent). Struggling with a record deficit, the McGuinty government has during the past two years delayed telling Ontario hospitals how much funding they would receive until well

into the new fiscal year, which started April 1. That has forced hospitals such as the Queensway Carleton to scramble to curb spending and make up multimillion-dollar shortfalls as rising costs continue to outpace annual increases in provincial funding. Reducing operating-room time is considered one of the least intrusive ways to save money while sparing bedside services. see BuDget on page c2

ly before the storm collapsed the stage and made the call to evacuate it after rushed talks with his production staff. Paramedics reported that three people were injured, two of whom were on the stage. A drained-looking Monahan told the Citizen late Sunday that he was relieved that more people hadn’t been hurt. “It could have been worse,” he said. “It was an unexpected event and the call to evacuate the stage

prevented serious injuries. “Everything after that is not important. The safety of our patrons, staff and musicians was paramount.” Monahan said he was checking the weather on a computer when he looked out the window and saw the dark clouds descending. “It was pretty scary,” he said. “I looked out and saw it coming down. All we could do is react. I have been in these weather situations before and have never had

Shock announcement comes after arrest of former News of the World executive Brooks lOndOn • Britain’s top police

officer resigned Sunday and Rupert Murdoch’s former aide Rebekah Brooks was arrested as the phone hacking scandal finally tore into the heart of the British establishment. Metropolitan Police Commissioner Paul Stephenson said he was quitting due to speculation about his links to Murdoch’s empire and the

force’s botched investigation into hacking at the now-defunct News of the World tabloid. His shock announcement came just hours after police arrested Brooks — who resigned on Friday as head of News International, Murdoch’s British newspaper arm — on suspicion of phone-hacking and bribing police.

“I have taken this decision as a consequence of the ongoing speculation and accusations relating to the Met’s links with News International at a senior level,” Stephenson said in a hastily arranged televised statement. British Prime Minister David Cameron called it “a very sad occasion for him,” adding, “I wish him well for the future.” However, the police chief took a sideswipe at Cameron and his government during

his resignation speech despite Home Secretary Theresa May’s insistence that she was “sincerely sorry” to see him go. Stephenson was linked to former News of the World deputy editor Neil Wallis in reports Sunday that said the police chief accepted a fiveweek stay earlier this year at a luxury health spa where Wallis was a PR consultant. The force, which reopened the investigation into hacking in January, six years after it first broke, is already fa-

Holding the Quebec flag still higher, Layton said the same philosophy was in play when the party adopted its Sherbrooke Declaration. That declaration says that an NDP government would respect Quebec’s right to decide its future, draft its own referendum question

and that a 50-per-cent-plusone vote constitutes a majority — enough to secede from Canada. “It’s written in black and white ... without question or ambiguity,” Layton said.

yed Hassan Nasrallah said Saturday that authorities would never arrest members of the Shiite militant group indicted by a U.N.-backed tribunal seeking the killers of statesman Rafik al-Hariri. In his first comments since the indictments were handed to the state prosecutor on Thursday, Nasrallah dismissed the accusations as unfounded and a failed attempt to sow strife and bring down Lebanon’s new Hezbollah-backed government. The tribunal has not named the suspects but Lebanese officials said they included Mustafa Badreddine, a senior member of the movement and brother-in-law of slain Hezbollah commander Imad Moughniyeh, and three other members of the group. “They cannot find them or arrest them in 30 days or 60 days, or in a year, two years, 30 years or 300 years,” Nasrallah said. Under the court proceedings, Lebanese officials have 30 days to make arrests after receiving indictments. Hezbollah, both a Shiite Muslim political movement and guerrilla army, denies any role in the huge explosion on the Beirut seafront which killed Hariri, a Sunni Muslim who served several terms as prime minister, and 22 others in February 2005. The killing plunged Lebanon into a series of political crises and assassinations that led to clashes in May 2008, and there were fears that the indictments could revive sectarian tension. Nasrallah has repeatedly accused the tribunal of serving a political agenda to undermine Hezbollah, and on Saturday he repeated charges that it was a U.S. and Israeli tool.

was so short of money during his final years in hiding that he ordered his fighters to kidnap foreign diplomats for ransom, it was revealed Saturday. Documents found in the compound where he was killed in Abbottabad, Pakistan, portray a cash-strapped alQaeda severely hampered by the economic downturn, which had prompted a fall in donations. This was compounded by a freeze on its international assets and an increase in American drone attacks, one of which killed the organization’s financial director. The terrorist group was run like a multinational business and bin Laden, like a chief executive, tried to find new sources of revenue and make cuts. al-Qaeda went from offering generous allowances to its fighters, who at one point were paid $108 a month, to leaving militants to pay for their own bed and board. The organization has a financial wing headed by skilled accountants who insisted on receipts for every purchase, including computer flash drives costing just a few dollars. Messages uncovered in the huge cache of documents recovered in Abbottabad make frequent references to a shortage of funds. In one, the head of al-Qaedas security unit complained about having “a very low budget, a few thousand dollars”, an intelligence official told The Washington Post. In others, bin Laden himself complains about a lack of money. John Brennan, Barack Obama’s chief counterterrorism adviser, told The Sunday Times last week that the biggest surprise was that “bin Laden was far more operationally active and

Canada’s combat mission in Kandahar is in its last days, a new training mission has started in Kabul, Canadian fighter aircraft are making daily bombing runs against Libya, and now the armed forces is preparing to send more than 1,000 troops on a huge exercise in the High Arctic next month. “It will be the largest operation that has taken place in recent history,” Defence Minister Peter MacKay said Saturday, moments after bidding an emotional farewell to combat troops now leaving Kandahar. “All of this is very much about enlarging the footprint and the permanent and seasonal presence we have in the North. It is something that we as a government intend to keep investing in.” Exercise Nanook is to play out in several phases on and near Baffin Island and Ellesmere Island throughout August. It will involve CF-18 fighter jets as well as surveillance and transport aircraft, a warship, infantry companies from Quebec and Alberta and 5 Canadian Ranger Patrol Group — Inuit reservists who have broad experience surviving in the extremely austere environment of the Far North. While MacKay and Chief of the Defence Staff Gen. Walter Natynczyk will visit the High Arctic for Op Nanook, their emphasis during their 30-hour visit to Kandahar was very much on thanking the troops for their sacrifice and toil in a mission that has resulted in the deaths of 157 Canadian soldiers since 2002. “This country is so much better because of your efforts. Our country is so much better because of your efforts,” MacKay said as more than 1,000 troops pressed enthusiastically around him outside New Can-

ing 150 per cent of the country’s annual economic output. Many, if not most, privatesector analysts believe there will have to be some restructuring of Greece’s debt. The International Monetary Fund and the European Union, meanwhile, have warned Greece that further payments in June on a joint $110-billion euro bailout plan are conditional on meeting conditions to cut the deficit and sell assets. “I believe that by continuing this program we’ll soon be out of the woods and on a more sustainable path in the next few years to a viable Greek economy,” said Papandreou, who lived in Toronto during the late 1960s and early 1970s, when his politically prominent family (both his father Andreas and grandfather George were prime ministers) was living in exile during military rule. Papandreou, whose socialist party has a majority in the Greek parliament, has said he will follow through on the austerity and privatization measures even without opposition support. But both he, and the European Union, have pressed all components of Greek society to accept the cold shower. “I think coming to an understanding with all the political parties is very important,” Papandreou said. “This understanding shows that our country has a loud voice abroad and creates even greater credibility and reliability for our country.”

continue to deal with these matters so that the global economy can continue moving forward.” Harper said Canada’s plan to slash spending will pale in comparison to the hardship Greeks are facing. “We have nothing like the challenges faced here in Greece,” he said with a nod to Treasury Board president Tony Clement, who accompanied Harper on the trip to Greece because he is of Greek-

imum,” she said. Desroches said the goal was to build densely in keeping with the way Riverside South had progressed over the past decade, with fewer singlefamily homes and more multiresidential construction. “I’m always amazed with people who think densification is something that’s only happening inside the Greenbelt.” Nevertheless, the plan includes “large-format retail” along Earl Armstrong and park-and-ride lots with room for 1,175 cars (more than the Fallowfield park-and-ride lot in Barrhaven has).

Harper confident Greece will tackle its debt

phen Harper expressed confidence in Athens on Saturday that his Greek counterpart will overcome national disunity that has raised questions of a potentially catastrophic default on Greece’s massive debt. Harper acknowledged that European contagion could impact Canada’s relatively robust economy that has withstood the 2008-’09 global crisis better than most Western economies. “We all know from the experiences of the last two or three years that we’re in a global economy, and serious economic problems in any part of the world, whether it’s through trade or through financial institutions, have the ability to impact all of us,” Harper told reporters after a meeting with Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou and Finance Minister George Papaconstantinou. But he said his discussions on Europe’s debt crisis at the meeting of the G8 group of industrialized nations in France this past week, and his meeting in Athens on Saturday with Greece’s two most powerful politicians, have been reassuring. “We have every confidence that our great hosts here, and our European friends, will

The proposed changes would give force to the community design plan for Riverside South that was finalized in 2005. It was based on the city’s plan at the time to run a light rail line through Riverside South, connecting Barrhaven to downtown. Rather than a rail line, the new district is to be primarily served by a busway for many years to come before it’s someday converted to rail.

City council’s planning committee is next week to consider zoning a vast swath of Riverside South for a primarily commercial development that’s to be the core of the south-Ottawa community once it’s all finally built. “This community was severely affected by the decision to cancel the LRT plan, but we’re picking up the pieces and moving on,” Councillor Steve Desroches said. The rezoning would cover more than 67 hectares of property on either side of Limebank Road south of Earl Armstrong. It calls for multiple mixed uses along a new “main street” and “transit

I knew we couldn’t ride it out.” Shortly after the stage collapsed — “almost like it was in slow motion” — Monahan called 911 to report the collapse and warn rescue personnel that there might be serious injuries. “The stage just folded.

We know people remember what they’ve seen,” says Connelly, whose group of more than 30 activists was in Pembroke and Renfrew on Monday. “Some people get upset, but they should get upset. Abortion is a gruesome act.” The graphic images provoked debate in Almonte, where irate business owners reported demonstrators set up their posters on the main street, in front of their shops. “It was very disturbing. The customers were not impressed,” said Natalie Robin, owner of Robin’s Nest Tea Room. “There were kids going up and down the street the whole time,” added Teagan Yaremchuk, who works at the tea room and saw several passersby confront an activist who set up outside the shop.

n Monday, the mother of Henry Belmore paid a visit to the Ottawa Mission, his home while he notched his way off the bottom. She spoke to chaplain Tom Donohue, a jovial man with a big laugh and a collection of muscle car models in his office. Before Henry was a homicide victim, before he picked up the name “Hugo,” which she disliked, he was a little boy. So she brought family photos. Henry with his sister, his grandmother, at his first communion. Henry before it all went wrong. She also brought a message, which Catherine Belmore wanted passed along to mourners at a service Tuesday. “Remember to pray for the perpetrator of this violent act. Remember to pray for his or her family. They are suffering as well, and she has forgiven this person.” Donohue, a Roman Catholic deacon, was struck by her stance. “This is the act of a courageous woman, a woman who clearly knows God.” Belmore, 27, was stabbed to death on Rideau Street early on July 31 after a chance encounter with two men on a sidewalk turned into an argument, then a shoving match. It was the end of a rocky road. He had slept in jail cells and slept in homeless shelters; wore the scars, literally, of the street. Some months ago, he told friends, he climbed a fence near Major’s Hill Park and took a serious fall down a cliff. His back was hurt and his head was gashed. He was left on crutches, with multiple stitches and a catheter, and was recovering at the Mission hospice.

hands-on than we had realized.” But the terrorist leader was also clearly under tremendous pressure, both financially and operationally, from the drone attacks in Pakistan’s tribal areas. “We know from the material from the compound that OBL himself recognized they were being pummelled,” said Brennan. “He wanted to carry out more attacks, but his commanders were saying, ‘Your aspirations outweigh our capabilities’.” In spring last year, the al-Qaeda leader sent a message instructing a deputy to form a group that would kidnap diplomats for ransom. alQaeda had rarely engaged in kidnapping, preferring to focus on the “spectaculars,” except where abductions could be used as an instrument of vengeance. With donations drying up, it appears he decided to emulate other terrorist groups, such as the Taliban, for whom kidnapping provides an important revenue stream. Bin Laden needed cash for training, weapons, operatives and their families, bribes and hideouts, including the compound where he lived with his three wives and children. For years the organization relied primarily on donors who had known bin Laden since his days of helping the Afghan mujahedeen to fight the Russians in the 1980s, or who regarded him as an inspiration. Such funds were hard to track, coming through the informal moneychanging hawala system of brokers in the Gulf and Central Asia. His death is expected to have a big impact on fundraising. Ayman alZawahri, his deputy who has taken over as leader, is regarded as far less charismatic, and lacks bin Laden’s contacts. Donors are expected to be unwilling to contribute to an organization that has lost its founder and no longer has a clear direction. The Times, London

ow do you attract the so-called ethnic vote in Canada, particularly in immigrant-saturated cities such as Toronto and Vancouver? It’s a pivotal question for the major political parties as Canadians head to the polls Monday for the fourth time in seven years. Shinder Purewal, a political scientist at Kwantlen Polytechnic University and Liberal candidate in the Vancouver-area riding of Surrey North, suggests there is nothing odd about courting the ethnic vote. In much the same way Toyota and Microsoft target specific consumer groups, Purewal says all parties are following “basic marketing rules” to appeal to particular ethnic minorities. The energy federal politicians are putting into wooing visible min-

orities was highlighted in the past month with the leak of an internal Conservative party document detailing how it aims to win 10 “very ethnic” swing ridings with strong Chinese, South Asian, Ukrainian or Jewish populations. Three of those heavily Chinese or South Asian ridings are in the Vancouver area. They include Vancouver South, narrowly won in 2008 by the Liberals’ Ujjal Dosanjh; Burnaby-Douglas, where New Democratic Party MP Bill Siksay is retiring; and Newton-North Delta, held by the Liberals’ Sukh Dhaliwal. The Liberals have been associated with the immigrant vote since they liberalized immigration laws in the 1960s to allow more newcomers from Asia and supported them through official multiculturalism. The Conservative Party of Canada, were often stuck with a redneck image and policies that were ambivalent about immigrants. But times are changing. The federal Conservatives are working hard to close the gap with the Liberals in

The idea behind strategic voting Voters are persuaded to vote not for their preferred candidate, but for the candidate thought to have the best shot at stopping another candidate from winning. This is different from shifting a vote, which is when a voter changes political allegiance. Take the example of an NDP supporter living in a riding where the Liberal candidate might need just a few hundred extra votes to win. That voter might vote Liberal strategically in the hopes of preventing a Conservative win. The website projectdemocracy. ca has sifted through past results and current polling data to calculate what it says are accurate riding-byriding predictions. Project Democracy is funded by the Canadian Auto Workers and the advocacy group Avaaz, and says it’s there to “help progressive Canadian voters identify who the best candidate in their riding is to defeat the Harper Conservatives.” Another website, catch22campaign.ca, said that it has identified 15 ridings where, if voters cast strategic ballots, the Conservative candidate can be defeated, ensuring the party is held to a minority government. The group has made recommendations for 50 ridings, but is “focusing its resources (on 15) ... where it believes a strong strategic voting turnout can play a huge role in stopping a Harper majority.” Why it doesn’t work Strategic voting requires a voter to go against his or her natural inclination. Sometimes that’s just too difficult. The NDP’s popularity has continued to skyrocket as election day creeps closer. So many Canadians who don’t support the Conservatives are being encouraged to vote for their local NDP candidate.

And while polls are indicating many Canadians will vote NDP, polls aren’t an exact science — they’re based on opinions, said Bruce Hicks, a political scientist at the University of Montreal. And opinions can change on a dime. “You may have all the intention of going in and voting for the New Democrats,” he says. “But if you’ve never done it before in your life, when you actually get to that ballot, research shows that, for most people, it’s an insurmountable obstacle.” In an average Canadian election about three per cent of voters cast their ballots strategically, Hicks says. That number can increase to 12 per cent, he says, during an election in which people are trying to stop something — where people are united in their opposition to a party or to a policy. Another problem with strategic voting is that accurate polling details are very difficult to achieve for something as small as a single riding, says Scott Matthews, a political scientist at Kingston’s Queen’s University. Polls are largely national, but often include provincial or regional data. “But we never get riding-level results, which are really the kind of results you would need to be an effective strategic voter,” says Hicks. When strategic voting has worked During the 2008 federal election, as in this one, Conservative leader Stephen Harper was gunning for his elusive majority. But he was denied it, aided by the campaign Newfoundland and Labrador’s thenpremier, Danny Williams, waged against him. The premier’s ABC campaign — Anything But Conservative — was credited with costing the Conservatives the three seats they held in the province. The Liberals picked up two of the seats, and the NDP one. Williams opened the attack on Harper and the Conservatives because of a dispute regarding equalization payments to the province.

attracting “ethnic” ballots. Immigration Minister Jason Kenney has been devising strategies to appeal to an array of urban visible minorities — whether Indo-Canadian Sikhs. His ideas for winning visible-minority votes became clear in a recently

leaked Conservative party campaign document, titled Breaking Through — Building the Conservative Brand in Cultural Communities. Admitting the Conservatives are still not doing as well as Liberals among ethnic voters, the paper outlines specific plans for advertising in the ethnic media, particularly through Toronto and Vancouver newspapers and TV programs that communicate in Mandarin, Cantonese, Hindi or Punjabi. The media blitz is crucial, says the Conservative party document, because there are more than 500,000 people in Toronto, and 400,000 in the Vancouver area who speak Mandarin or Cantonese. In addition, there are 173,000 people in Toronto and 137,000 in Vancouver who speak Punjabi or Hindi. A key thrust the Conservatives were planning for the campaign was simply to convince specific ethnic communities that the governing party is on their side. Tung Chan, who recently stepped down as head of SUCCESS, a major

Voter psychology: Why do we vote as we do?

B.C. immigrant support organization, agrees it is crucial for all major parties to do whatever they can to make sure newcomers to Canada feel they are entering “a welcoming community.” Smith, who lives in one of the Conservatives’ targeted B.C. ridings, Burnaby-Douglas, believes his neighbourhood’s growing Chinese community generally responds favourably to the party’s prison-building “law-and-order” policies. Even though Harper’s minority government has not over-ridden the Liberals’ same-sex marriage and abortion laws, Smith believes most voters still link the governing party to conservative sexual morality. On economic issues, Angus Reid pollster Andrew Grenville joins Smith in saying that Chinese immigrants, and most other newcomers, are people who have uprooted their lives to get their families ahead. So they’re often supportive of Conservative-style pro-entrepreneur, lowtax legislation. On the other hand, Purewal and Chan say many immigrants and their offspring greatly value education, like most Canadians. As a result, the Liberals could pick up some mileage among immigrant voters, and much of the general population, with the announcement they would inject an extra $1 billion into aid for people wanting to pursue a higher education. Meanwhile, Canada’s centre-left New Democratic Party may have an advantage, say Purewal and Smith, among immigrants and refugees who are economically struggling, or who emigrated from countries that focus on equality. Purewal says South Asians have long flocked to the provincial NDP, while turning federally to the Liberals. Finally, immigration policy itself remains crucial for most Canadians who feel intimately connected to their foreign roots, particularly when it comes to “family reunification.” That’s why there was an uproar earlier this year when a Vancouver immigration specialist revealed the federal Conservatives had reduced their targets on the number of parents and grandparents of immigrants who would be allowed to be sponsored. Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff seized on the issue early in the campaign when he came to the Vancouver South riding and promised to restore the number of immigrants who could come to Canada on family-reunification visas to levels set by previous Liberal governments.

Endless options for perfect sand, sun and surf in the Dominican Republic

amed explorer Christopher Columbus knew his islands. He was the first European to establish colonies in the Caribbean, and when Columbus called an island in the region “beautiful,” the world took note. One of the territories he hailed for its beauty is now known as the Dominican Republic, a country that, 519 years later, is still attracting visitors who marvel at its spectacular natural appeal. Unforgettable beaches, lush inland landscapes, inviting waters and a colourful culture attract more than four million visitors each year, according to the government of the country commonly known as the DR. For Canadians, it’s the fourth most popular international destination, notes Statistics Canada; 876,000 Canadians visited the DR in 2009 (the most recent year for which stats are available), an 113,000-person increase from the previous year. As the second largest country in the Caribbean after Cuba, the DR occupies two-thirds of the island of Hispaniola, with Haiti comprising the other onethird. The DR also has the second largest economy in the Caribbean and Central America. Sugar once dominated the country, but the economy is now driven by services, including telecommunication centres, and tourism, which creates one in seven jobs.

Another statistic in which the DR ranks number two is baseball. Despite its relatively small population (10 million), the DR produces the second most number of players in Major League Baseball, after the United States. The DR is a land of superlatives. It is home to the Caribbean’s largest lake, Lake Enriquillo, as well as the lowest elevation and highest mountain, Pico Duarte. The country also can claim several important firsts. The capital city of Santo Domingo was the home of the first cathedral, first street, first castle and first university in the Americas. Santo Domingo was the first permanent European settlement in the New World, which eventually led UNESCO to declare the city’s Ciudad Colonial area a World Heritage site. This history, along with influences from Europe, Africa and native Indian traditions, have combined to create a vivid culture notable for dance, food,

music and a passion for life. “Dominican Republic is a charismatic and unforgettable island nation boasting intricate architecture, rich culture, amazing accommodations, world-class golf courses, pristine beauty and unlimited eco adventures,” says Magaly Toribio of the DR Ministry of Tourism. It also remains one of the Caribbean countries that still has many affordable offerings for tourists, providing a myriad of accommodation and dining choices, whether a visitor is on a student budget or on a luxurious splurge. Here are four areas of the DR most often visited by tourists.

Punta Cana Punta Cana, on the eastern edge of the DR, became one of the most popular destinations in the Caribbean for good reason: it has incredible beaches. Turquoise waters, white sand and tall palm trees are hallmarks along the shoreline. To accommodate visitors, the area has an enviable selection of all-inclusive resorts. More than 35,000 hotel rooms are found here, including many along the beautiful beaches of Bavaro. Visitors find an abundance of restaurants, spas, nightlife and activities in the Punta Cana area. Options include learning to paddle board, going on a jeep safari. deepsea fishing or refining your golf game. The Punta Espada course in Cap Cana has been named the best golf course in the Caribbean by Golfweek magazine. Overall, the DR is the No. 1 golf destination in the Caribbean and Latin America, according to the International Association of Golf Tour Operators.

Puerto Plata Puerto Plata, on the north coast of the DR, readily fulfils Canadians’ wish for a little winter sunshine and beach time, with silky soft sand and waves lapping along miles of beach. Playa Grande, lined with leafy green palms,

is a popular beach choice, as is Playa Dorada just outside the city. With so many beach areas, surfing has become a common pursuit, especially windsurfing, kitesurfing and wakeboarding. When the sun sets, there’s plenty of nightlife, bars, discos and cigar sampling to fill the hours. Not to be missed are: a dizzying cable car ride; a tour of the local rum factory; and a visit to the amber museum, showcasing fossils encased in DR amber that are millions of years old.

La Romana About a 90-minute drive from the city of Santo Domingo you can find La Romana. Once a centre for the sugar industry, La Romana (on the southeast coast) is now a centre for paradise-seekers and golfers. Visitors often decide to check out the legendary resort Casa de Campo, which is home to two 18-hole golf courses. La Romana also boasts cave art, snorkelling and diving areas, polo facilities, equestrian stables, tennis courts, target

shooting ranges and exclusive accommodation, along with lovely shops, restaurants and an artifacts museum.

Samana A newer international airport built in Samana has opened up this little Shangri-La to larger numbers of tourists. It remains less crowded than other destinations, however, making Samana a bit of a hidden gem in the DR. The Peninsula de Samana, in the country’s northeast, is a long finger of land, 40 kilometres by 15 km, and is home to lovely coves, secluded beaches and gentle swimming areas. One of the most noteworthy attractions at Samana is the whales. Between 3,000 and 5,000 humpbacks migrate into the bay here each January and stay for a couple of months to give birth and begin mating to conceive the next year’s calves. A national park featuring rainforest vegetation, mangroves and waterfalls provides ideal opportunities to hike, mountain bike or go for a horseback ride.

❚ National dance: Merengue ❚ Favourite sport: Baseball ❚ Number of children who play organized baseball: 800,000-plus. ❚ Famous baseball players born or raised in the DR: Pedro Martinez, Alex Rodriguez, David Ortiz, Juan Marichal and Sammy Sosa. ❚ Famous fashion designer: Oscar de la Renta was born in Santo Domingo in 1932. ❚ Film: Hollywood movies that have shot some or all scenes in the DR include Godfather II, Apocalypse Now, Rambo II and the Good Shepherd, starring Angelina Jolie and Matt Damon. ❚ Food: The country is wellknown for the dish called La Bandera (the flag), made with meat, rice and red beans, and often served with fried plantains known as tostones. ❚ Awards: A few of the 2010 travel honours the DR received included best value destination by Budget Travel Readers Choice Awards, while Peninsula House in Samana was named most luxurious place in the Caribbean by Conde Nast Traveler.

Jobless rate down despite government cuts Retail, professional services pick up slack in region by James bagnaLL

The unemployment rate fell sharply in the national capital region in May, according to figures published Friday by Statistics Canada. Job gains in professional

services, retailing and construction more than made up for the loss of 5,300 jobs in public administration employment compared to April. In all, the region gained 3,300 jobs in May, for a employment total of 695,400 — still

short of the record 703,700 employed last July. The job gains, combined with only a marginal rise in the region’s labour force, meant the unemployment rate for Ottawa-Gatineau fell to 6.1 per cent in May, com-

pared to 6.4 per cent in April (adjusted for seasonality). This compares with a national jobless rate of 7.4 per cent in May, down from 7.6 per cent in April. Within the national capital region, the economy on the Ontario side of the river is somewhat stronger, with a May unemployment rate of

5.9 per cent (down from 6.3 per cent in April). On the Quebec side, the May jobless rate was 6.6 per cent (down from 6.8 per cent in April). The big story of the last few months has been a precipitous decline in the number of public administration jobs. The region lost 5,300 of

these jobs last month, to produce a total of 164,800. (These numbers are unadjusted for seasonality). That’s down from 177,300 as recently as February. see JobLess on page F2 PRODUCTIVITY: Pace of growth slows, F2
