Several members of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Lithonia have filed suit against Bishop Eddie Long, alleging he is responsible for them losing nearly $1 million in a fraudulent investment scheme.
According to the lawsuit, in 2009 Long sponsored a series of investment seminars at the church titled "The Wealth Tour Live," which took place Oct. 17-23.
The suit alleges that Long used his position at the church to "coerce those in attendance" to trust Ephren Taylor, then CEO of the City Capitol Corp. Taylor, who was in his early 20s at the time, was presented by Long as a "self-made millionaire," and an ordained minister.
"I am responsible for everyone I bring before you and what they say," Long said, according to the suit. "The gentleman that I am going to bring before you is an ordained minister. That gives me great pride to bring him for you."
During the seminar church members were subjected to sermons by both Long and Taylor, and a presentation as to why they should invest with Taylor's company and its subsidiary Clean Sweeps.
However, according to attorney Quenton Seay, those who trusted Long and invested with the company lost every penny, in some cases their entire life savings.
Seay, who is representing the 10 plaintiffs, said that his clients were issued promissory notes with a high-rate of interest that had a nine- to 12-month maturity rate, but when they called to check on the status of their investments they couldn't get a straight answer as to where their money was.
"It was then that they began to get an inkling that things were not as they seemed," Seay said.
Lillian Wells, a plaintiff who invested $122,000, said that at first glance it seemed like a legitimate investment. Wells said the seminar went together with a series of sermons Long gave on investing for the future.
"He made a presentation at the Sunday morning service," Wells said of Taylor. "He said this was a sure investment not driven by the stock market."
Wells said after the initial presentation, Taylor held a meeting the following Monday with members interested in investing.
"He had a representative from Equity Trust, which is a self-directing, IRA-type company…He had other people from his staff there and he said they were financial advisors," Wells said.
It was then that Wells decided to take her retirement fund out of Bank of America and invest it with Taylor. She said, originally, she wanted to invest her money in real estate properties throughout Georgia, one of the options Taylor mentioned during his presentation.
"They informed me that since Taylor was not familiar with the Georgia market he wanted to invest in properties in Chicago," which Wells agreed to.
However, when the nine months were up, Wells said she called the company to recoup her investment but none of the employees she spoke with could put her in touch with anybody that could get her money back.
"It just went on from there and then they stopped answering my calls altogether," Wells said.
According to the lawsuit, Taylor's company was actually "insolvent" at that time and "relying on income derived from the issuance of illegal promissory notes to new investors to stay in business."
"The really sad thing about this case is that none of this would have happened without the involvement of Bishop Long and New Birth Church," Seay said. "They enabled Taylor by assisting in the gaining of trust of City Capitol."
Wells said, early on, she and other members had hoped Long would help them get their money back. However, after several meetings with the bishop they realized that hope was a dead end, she said.
"Long said that he would try to get some assistance for us and he knew a couple of attorney friends that we could work with to get some resolution and try to contact Taylor," Wells said. But after several more meetings with the bishop, the lawyers, and Taylor, never appeared.
Recently, Long posted a video on Youtube asking for Taylor to pay back the money owed to his parishioners. However, Long's attorney Craig Gillen was contacted for this story and offered no comment on the ongoing lawsuit.
Wells, who attended New Birth Missionary Baptist Church before Long became head pastor, said she and several other plaintiffs still go to services every Sunday, but now it's for a different purpose.
"I figure if you see me sitting there every day and you know I'm hurt it doesn't just go away," Wells said.

Britney Spears Gossip
Britney Spears gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Britney & Justin 4EVA, even for Jamie Lynn
Bauer, Jeff Kravitz/ Getty
Here's what happened last night that was so exciting... So exciting I immediately texted all my friends who would have remembered the era. We are mostly all married now. Some are parents. So, you know, supposedly mature. There were many exclamation points and OMGs in the messages. If you were around, you know. Full Story
Holding hands in a scrunchie
Britney Spears and her boyfriend went out for groceries today. They held hands on their way out. You think he's moved in yet? It's been a couple months now, right? Britney doesn't do the slow date. Britney meets. Britney loves. Britney cohabits. Britney proposes. With only a few minutes in between. Full Story
Britney boyfriend theories
Britney Spears is all hand holdy and smiley with her new boyfriend David Lucado now. You know, the dude with the vague job description who works at a law firm? They were in Vegas together with her manager Larry Rudolph this weekend. Britney looks happy and even healthy. Full Story
Brown Britney and the "field researcher"
FameFlynet, Keystone
Here's the newly brown Britney back in sweats after premiering her new hair colour at Elton John's Oscar party on Sunday night. There was a man with her in the car. They say it's her new maybe-boyfriend, the "field researcher" who works at a law firm as identified last week -- click here Full Story
Britney's Oscar brown
Alexandra Wyman/ Jamie McCarthy/ Getty
About a month ago I wrote a post called "Forecasting Britney": signs to look for, now that she's single again, that… you know. An astute reader wrote in immediately after positing that: All that, plus if she goes brown, we are in trouble. Well… Here's Britney at the Elton John Oscar party last night and she's brown. Full Story
Britney's (shady?) new boyfriend
Fame, AKM/ GSI/ Keystone Press
Britney Spears went out on Valentine's Day last week with this "mystery" dude and since then everyone's been trying to figure out who he is. TMZ says he's called David. He's 27 from Atlanta. They were introduced through mutual friends. Full Story
Britney's Valentine's Date
AKM/GSI / Keystone Press
Britney Spears went out for dinner last night and they're calling this a "mystery man". It's been a month or so since it was formally announced that Britney and Jason Trawick were done. Everyone's waiting then for Britney to find love again. Britney, as we know, finds love fast. Full Story
JT says it's not "personal"
J. Emilio Flores/ Getty
I love writing about Britney and Justin. We all love remembering Britney and Justin. And it seems like Justin loves giving us opportunities to remember Britney and Justin. Thank you Justin. As you know, Justin performed at a pre-Super Bowl concert on Saturday night in New Orleans. Click here Full Story
Forecasting Britney
Wenn, FameFlynet, Splash
As you know, she's single again. Jason Trawick is no longer her boyfriend/conservator/business manager/baby-sitter. That position is now vacant. Which, I mean, it's sad, totally, on so many levels. Because anyone who falls in love with her -- if one can truly fall in love with Britney Spears through the haze of all her meds -- would have to assume not only the role of boyfriend/fiancé/husband, in quick succession, but also the responsibility of being her governor. Full Story
Why Pippy had to share with Britney
Justin Timberlake also sold his wedding pictures to HELLO Magazine in the UK. He's jumping on his wife's head on the cover of that one too. Am also attaching a shot that wasn't posted last week. You will note -- HELLO did not include a photo of Britney Spears in the corner, unlike PEOPLE. Full Story
Britney & Justin forever
I mean, I rarely enjoy PEOPLE Magazine. Like almost never. But today, today I LOVE PEOPLE Magazine. I love them for doing this. For giving Britney Spears some real estate on Justin Timberlake's wedding cover. COME ON. It's BRILLIANT. Full Story
Fried Chicken's best fake hair?
Check out Britney at her handprint ceremony yesterday and her hair in particular. It's not bad, right? Haven't consulted with my Fake Hair Expert Caleigh yet and I'm not saying that her extensions are as first class as Kate Beckinsale's but comparatively, given what we've been used to from her, this might be the best ever. Full Story
Pippy and the 10 year anniversary
Photopress PR/Splash
Reliving Justin and Britney's dance off (in the MMVA article about Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez) just brought a lot of happiness to my life. As mentioned earlier, it'll be ten years on August 1. TEN YEARS! Britney cheated on Justin with Wade Robson (allegedly but only for the lawyers, ahem) and broke Justin's heart and Justin rebounded with Alyssa Milano (OMG, remember that???) and members of his dance crew including Jenna Dewan and Britney accused him of only doing it to get back at her and he called her trash for disrespecting their relationship and suddenly they cleared the floor and threw down to the beat with their arms and legs. Full Story
Chicken Fried Princess gets a message from bed
"Daddy will love me if I agree to be on this show. Jason, my fiancé, will love me even more if I agree to be in this show. Jason will be there, holding my hand. Jason is smiling at me and nodding his head in encouragement. I'm doing a good job. I'm making him proud of me." - This is what I wrote last week in an article about Britney Spears's first day on X Factor auditions, having bailed halfway through the day, incapable of getting through the job without several long "breaks", and no doubt a booster handful of pills and some sweet-talking, both administered, presumably, by Jason Trawick, her fiancé and conservator who must now resort to video messages taken in bed, and posted on the internet as a public proclamation of his pride and love so as to keep his ward motivated. Full Story

Recommended Shopping by Groupon Customers
By eliminating traditional numbered sizing and adopting a user-friendly color-dot sizing system, Beyourself promotes a positive shopping experience focused on finding clothes that accentuate your shape. Rather than worrying about brands' inconsistent measurements and complex sizing algorithms, shoppers can put down their graphing calculators and proudly proclaim they're a green, purple, or taupe. In addition to jeans ($40–$170), dresses ($35– $50), basic tees or tanks ($10–$18), and tops ($20– $40), Beyourself offers jewelry, accessories, handbags, shoes, and customized jetpack holsters, so you can fly around town in style.
Miche bags employ a crafty design that creates a head-spinning array of custom options that prohibit bags from cultivating lint farms and spawning legions of pennies. A Miche bag base comes in two sizes (a Miche bag is a standard two-handled purse, while the Miche big bag base is more of a satchel) and can be fitted with a wide variety of striking small or large magnetic bag shells that fit snugly like cocoons of head-turning fashionableness. Boast tartan taste with a plaid Tori design for $24.95 or harness nature's flair with a Zoe blue piece for $19.95. Additional accessories add practical pizzazz through handles and organizers that leave other spare handbags in the dust on speedy fashion runways.
Each Wild Willy's house of celebrations is fully stocked with a wide variety of incandescently colored explosives for any and all midsummer festivities. Noisemakers can instigate the hoopla with a 36-pack of M-70 firecrackers ($2.50), while military buffs can use the package of sparkler-wielding mini tanks ($0.25 apiece) to re-create the American-Antarctica War's decisive Battle of Dwarfish Artillery. The company also carries 200-gram and 500-gram cakes, such as the Aftershock, from which 19 nebulas of red, green, and gold explode and linger in the night sky. Find firework fountains, sparklers, and artillery shells—all ideal gifts for the Independence Day lover that already has a Bill of Rights leather jacket.
Walking into a HobbyTown USA is like immersing yourself in a science fair, toy store, art-supply shop, and robot dance-off all at the same time. Stocked with items ranging from model Camaro kits ($20.99) to easy-to-care-for ant farms ($14.99), the store has something for any particular age or interest. Spice up the tide of warm weather with interactive outdoor activities such as flying Turbo Jet 2000 gliders ($4.99) or kites shaped like 3-D space shuttles ($19.99), which, unlike real space shuttles, serve decent in-flight meals. For rainy days, you can always just pick up a 10-piece carving-knife set ($4.95) and an eight-color all-purpose paint set ($11.59) to repurpose any banister as a totem pole of achievement.
In 1978, Jan Gauger founded One More Time, where she stocked racks with gently used women's clothes and accessories from labels such as Gap, Kate Spade, Ann Taylor, Banana Republic, and Eddie Bauer. To this day, Jan oversees the shop's daily goings-on alongside her daughters Sarah and Kate. They helm a careful consignment process that seeks out items two-years-old or newer, ensuring that shoppers unearth only trendy, high-quality shoes, blouses, dresses, and jewelry. The family's dedication to saving orphaned garments also means that fewer unwanted clothes wind up in overcrowded landfills or layered on uncomfortably warm scarecrows.
Threads-Footloose & Fancy believes in a two-pronged philosophy: its owners are deeply committed to both protecting the environment and to outfitting people of all ages with comfortable, fashionable clothing that help them to achieve a healthy lifestyle. To combine these two passions, the eco-conscious business only carries clothing from brands devoted to using recycled materials, biodegradable vegetable dyes, and environmentally friendly production methods, such as The North Face.
After equipping customers for more than three decades, Threads-Footloose & Fancy has learned to keep up with the latest trends. Recently, they've panned back their eco-friendly and trend-spotting telescope to focus on clothing, too, stocking up on jackets, coats, and outdoor garb from The North Face's Summit Series, Patagonia, Arc'teryx, and Lucky Brand, as well as women's workout apparel from Lolë and yoga apparel from lucy.

Very easy to install and works perfect
Have prior experience with these and this one worked just like I remembered. Great way to add a stealth jack to an acoustic instrument. Its nice to have several options for wiring it as well. Mil-spec hardware built to last.
Used this jack for many older Parker Fly replacements. works wonders....
Great product. Well made, easy to work with.
Used on a G-String tenor uke. Works great
The best endpin jack for acoustic guitars hands down. Comes with complete wiring instructions for passive and active pickups, additional microphones, etc. This jack seems to have the most non-intrusive installation, as well as the easiest to adjust or tighten up if it loosens. The only slight drawback is the small amount of space allotted for the four connectors. Any connections to the jack should be isolated with heat shrink. Otherwise this is an excellent product from Fishman.
Our shop used this product several times and it does the job. Its an easy install and cost effective.
Easy to fit and well made end pin jacks. Use the Stew Mac reamer to bore the hole for a perfect job.
Jack on an old Guild acoustic was crackling and popping. I used one of the Endpin Jacks and returned this guitar back to smooth playing instrument.
This product installs very easily and has a very easy to follow diagram / instruction sheet to use for the most common acoustic pickup combinations. 5 - 10 min tops on the installation.

That is SO WRONG.
HUMFH. If it time to put sunflowers in the ground here. We were thinking of doing some in small pots to put out on the nature strip when they are bigger for all to enjoy. This story makes me wonder... - November 21, 2011 at 6:52 AM

Hmm. The garden dilemma. Taking big flowers from someone's yard is wrong, especially sunflowers, but I can understand the odd Rose bloom here and their. Maybe one but not the whole lot. That's just plain rude.
You should put a sign up saying "To the flower thief: I hope my sunflowers have given you horrendous hay fever. If you want a flower, just ask, otherwise its STEALING" - November 21, 2011 at 8:19 AM
- dixiebelle said...
Oh my goodness, really!! That is disgusting. I think Phoebe's sign idea is good!
- November 21, 2011 at 10:46 AM
Wow, that's so nasty! They take so long to bloom :( and they only have one main flower too - not like someone just picking a frangiapani or something (although they sometimes reshoot if you leave the stalk growing).
Last year Bulimba school gave out free sunflower seeds, to be planted along your front fence in november, so that they would be flowering to welcome the kids back to school in Jan. :) Think it was a lovely idea to have such happy flowers out the front of your house :) what a shame.
I find the cheap ones that you feed the chooks come up best here - We have them coming up like weeds everywhere now! I'll have to install some security cams lol. - November 21, 2011 at 1:53 PM
- Liz said...
I've had someone dig up a grevillea from my front garden and a friend has an olive tree stolen - it is just so annoying isn't it. I hope your thief at least used the seeds, at least then its less like vandalism....
- November 21, 2011 at 2:29 PM
- Hazel said...
I would be absolutely furious....though it is hard to know where to channel flower-theft fury. I agree with Phoebe, stealing a sunflower is not like picking the odd rose, or a little piece of something as a cutting. A very, low, low act!

Hmm... nah, didn't bother me that much! In my mind it was for some romantic gesture, and I would happily give away flowers for that... and I have a whole lot more sunflowers along the side passage and in the backyard, so in the grand scheme of things, it's just a teeny drop in the ocean... if someone touches my bananas however!!!

The Kansas City Friends of Alvin Ailey began its 17th summer camp recently. In the first of three parts, we'll talk to Ailey Camper Memory Brown. Brown is 14 years old and lives with her grandmother. She was ecstatic when she got accepted to Ailey camp.
By Laura Ziegler
Kansas City, Missouri – The Kansas City Friends of Alvin Ailey began its 17th summer camp recently.
Polly Apfelbaum retrospective goes up at the Kemper, 'Little Bastard' closes at Westport Coffee House.
A retrospective of the work of an artist featured this month on the cover of 'Art in America' magazine goes up, or rather down, at the Kemper Museum, play about the last days of James Dean finishes at the Westport Coffee House.
Kansas City – Though Americans were being told to get back to normal after 9-11, there weren't many clues how to do that. Nearly a year later, in a Kansas City comedy club, KCUR's Steve Walker finds that it may be OK to laugh again.

Welcome to ADP
Welcome to ADP! We invite you to explore our website to discover the many valuable resources our department provides for Californians of all ages and all walks of life. We have resources to help with substance abuse and problem gambling; fact sheets about our programs and services; directories of licensed treatment providers; specialized information for veterans, women, youth, and American Indians; free publications; and much more.
ADP's programs and services related to alcohol and other drugs and problem gambling fall into three categories: prevention, treatment and recovery. Each of these is of equal priority in our efforts to reduce alcoholism, drug addiction and problem gambling in our state—where nearly 3 million people are impacted by substance use disorders and 1 million people are problem or pathological gamblers.
It is important to us that the people we serve are kept abreast of substance abuse and problem gambling issues that affect our society in countless ways. If you have questions, just "contact us" for a prompt reply.Mission and vision
To lead efforts to reduce alcoholism, drug addiction, and problem gambling in California by developing, administering, and supporting prevention, treatment and recovery programs.
To have Californians understand that alcoholism, drug addiction and problem gambling are chronic conditions that can be successfully prevented and treated.
ADPs Transition Status
In 2012, the Legislature voted to eliminate the California Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs effective July 1, 2013, and transfer ADPs functions and programs to other department(s) within the California Health and Human Services Agency (CHHS). This reorganization initially was proposed for July 1, 2012, however, the Legislature wanted to allow more time for affected departments to engage stakeholders and develop a detailed plan for a smooth transition and minimal impact on service delivery. read more

The trend shows that global internet traffic is expected to be four times larger by 2015 than 2010, reaching 966 exabytes per year. [Cisco Visual Networking Index]
Nobody likes slow websites. People can and will go to where they can get things faster, leaving your website and making their purchases elsewhere.
- Do your web servers have enough capacity?
- Are you going to have to design for peak - not average?
- What about security?
- And cost?
Amazon reported that they experienced 1% higher sales for every 100 ms reduced response time and Yahoo experienced 9% more traffic for every 400 ms reduced response time, according to Strangeloup Networks. Reduced response time on the website strengthens customer loyalty and increases sales.

On one of the donated sites, Del Webb is constructing a 650,000-gallon waste water treatment facility on a 12-acre parcel off of Main Street. Prime also deeded a 1-million-gallon water tank, located north of the Huntley Factory Shops, to the village and a parcel on Route 47 to the Huntley Fire District for a 'future fire station. The total value of all the properties is about $5 million, said Phillip E. Waters, vice president of mar¬ keting. Village President James Dhamer, who received a statue of the well, said the village plans to make good use of the donated well and land. "That's a $3 million deal just by itself," Dhamer said about the cost of the well. "We are going to take it over, and it's one heck of an asset to the village." Dhamer spoke at a dedication ceremony July 24. Waters said this is another example of the private/public venture between the village and Prime. "I think this clearly indicates the strength of the relationship between the village and the Prime Group," Waters said. Prime first purchased about 2,800 acres in town about a "That's a $3 million deal just by itself. We are going to take it over, and it's one heck of an asset to the village." James Dhamer Huntley Village President decade ago and sold nearly 1,900 acres to Del Webb for the construction of the 5,000-home Sun City residential community. "It's terrific for the village. When Del Webb is done. School District 158 will get about $10 million in new property-tax rev¬ enue, and there won't be any kids going to the schools," Dhamer said. The well lies within the vil¬ lage's tax increment district, an area where the village has invested over $4 million in infrastructure improvements. Dhamer said Prime has shared in the costs of putting in Oak Creek Parkway. In their latest move, the Prime Group brokered a deal with Brookdale Living Community for a five-story 300,000-square-foot senior-con- gregate-care facility at the Huntley Corporate Park on Freeman Road.

Free concert is deemed a big success; many come out and enjoy the music Steve Brosinski Press Publications What makes for a really pleasant surmner night out? Start with a generous dash of warm weather, added to a shaded spot where you and your sweetheart can lounge only yards away from a five- piece brass ensemble, and toss in free admission. More than 100 Huntley res¬ idents came out Sunday evening to hear the "Burnished Band Quintet" perform an assortment of rag¬ time, jazz and other American classical tunes. The free con¬ cert was sponsored by the Huntley Park District. The crowd was delighted to the sounds of tunes made famous in Hollywood movies and Broadway plays like "My Fair Lady" and "Show Boat." Beginning with a snappy rendition of "America the Beautiful," the band moved on to the Scott Joplin hits "Entertainment" and "Solas," both popularized in the 1974 movie "The Sting." Rich Hanson's trombone took center stage in 'Tiger Rag," a ragtime tune Henry Filmore composed between 1916-1920. Ragtime was an early 20th century style of music that foreshadowed jazz, Hanson said. Greg Ericksen of Woodstock played a trumpet solo in "Just a Closer Walk With Thee," a 19th century African American tune that was sung in funeral proces¬ sions. Huntley resident Ruth Bond said she was happy to see a band perform in the reconstructed gazebo. "I think it looks like a nice turnout. I haven't seen this in Huntley for quite a while," Bond said. All of the quintet members also perform with the 55- member Woodstock City Band, said Sue Hanson of Huntley.

EDMONTON - Health officials laid out plans Monday to relocate northern Alberta's air ambulance services to the Edmonton International Airport in mid-March, announcing details of a facility for patients arriving by plane that will include a six-bed patient care centre and a dedicated set of ambulances.
The move to consolidate the transfer of northern Alberta Medevac patients at a new hangar at the International Airport in Leduc County comes as the city continues the phased closure of the City Centre Airport, north of downtown. Scheduled flights are set to end on June 30th, and the city hopes to start redeveloping the property in 2014.
The closure's impact on emergency medical services continues to be a serious concern to many in northern Alberta who are lobbying the government to intervene and force the city to halt its planned redevelopment.
But Health Minister Fred Horne said Monday he believes the plan to move Medevac services to an international airport hangar will provide an "excellent level of service."
"I have absolutely no concern about the quality and safety for patients at the new Medevac centre and I don't believe any Albertans should either," Horne said.
Many features of the new hangar, located in the same building as the new STARS air ambulance base, build on advice received from the Health Quality Council of Alberta in a 2011 report that reviewed what safety implications would be for Medevac patients arriving at the International versus the City Centre Airport.
An AHS spokesman said Monday that all 18 recommendations either have been, or will be, addressed in the new facility.
Dr. John Cowell, chief executive of the Healthy Quality Council, said Monday it sounds like the government's plan goes a long way toward what the council wanted to see.
"In terms of establishing a holding place, a triage location for acutely ill patients to be transported by land or by STARS, that sounds very sophisticated to me," Cowell said. "Having that small venue there for stabilization and transfer is good."
Cowell's key concern was whether plans are in place for a backup landing location if the International Airport is shut down. In late-December, Edmonton Airports announced that Villeneuve Airport will be that backup site, with airport officials estimating it will require $5 million to $6 million in upgrades.
Dr. Ian Phelps, Alberta Health Services' senior medical director for EMS, said that the six-patient care area in the new Edmonton air ambulance base will be staffed round the clock like a small urgent care centre. It will be more heavily staffed during the daytime, when patients arriving by plane for scheduled visits will go through, he said.
AHS spokesman Haydon Dewes said that the province currently expects to spend $35.8 million on fixed-wing medevac costs this year; about $600,000 are directly tied to the City Centre Airport.
The International air ambulance base is expected to cost about $7.1 million annually, he said.
About 3,000 patients flew to Edmonton on Medevac planes in the 2009-10 time frame analyzed by the Health Quality Council report. Seven per cent of those patients were deemed "time-sensitive" and about half "time-dependent."
The new Edmonton-area Medevac Centre at the International means that air ambulance services will operate differently than under the existing setup at the City Centre Airport, Phelps said.
Currently, according to health officials, each contracted air ambulance company has its own hangar at the City Centre Airport and typically operates its own ground emergency vehicles to transport those patients to the hospital they are heading to. The drive from the City Centre Airport to the Royal Alexandra Hospital is five minutes, while it takes 13 minutes to the University of Alberta Hospital,
Under the new system at the International Airport, those companies will arrive at a shared Alberta Health Services space and will hand over care of the patients to EMS staff with Alberta Health Services.
Non-urgent patients will travel by ground ambulance to their destination, which the Health Quality Council said will add 18 minutes to a trip to the U of A and half an hour to the Royal Alex. But the new system can offer some efficiencies if two non-urgent patients who arrive at the same time are heading to the same hospital, Phelps said.
Time-sensitive patients can be transferred to a STARS helicopter in the adjacent hangar and flown to the U of A in 10 minutes or the Royal Alex in 12 minutes. Phelps said he believes the system will serve patients well.
STARS representatives acknowledged that the service, funded through a combination of donations and government funding, is part of Alberta Health's plan. But government and STARS officials also acknowledged that one of their two Edmonton-based helicopters may not always be available to shuttle patients from the International Airport if it is responding to an emergency call elsewhere.
"We're not the solution. We are an option," STARS vice-president of Alberta operations Mike Lamacchia said. "If we're there and we're deemed appropriate to be used, we will assist."
Details of the plan failed to comfort those who have been lobbying the province to take action to keep the City Centre Airport open to emergency flights.
Grande Prairie City councillor Helen Rice said she is skeptical it will serve urgent patients well. "I believe it's urgent when you Medevac someone," Rice said. "It is a degradation of service to the north and the province has attempted to mitigate it, but it's still a lowering of service."
Doctors behind a lobbying effort called Save our Medevac Services said they will continue to hold town hall meetings in northern Alberta communities to protest the plan, including one scheduled for Thursday in High Level.
