Man fights off cougar PEOPLE IN BANFF WARNED AFTER COUGAR ATTACKS MAN NEAR TOWN BY THE CANADIAN PRESS BANFF — Parks Canada officials are advising people in Banff to be on alert after a man told them he fought off an attacking cougar with his skateboard. Bill Hunt, the resource conservation manager for the Banff field unit, said the man was attacked Thursday and originally reported the incident anonymously. But Hunt said officials tracked him down to get more information in order to find the cougar. “I think he was reluctant to contact us right away because he’d be in trouble for striking an animal inside a national park. But of course, in that situation you’re in defence mode and it’s totally appropriate,” Hunt explained Sunday. Hunt said the man told them he was listening to music through earbuds while walking between the townsite and an industrial area when the cougar attacked. “He was hit from behind, knocked to the ground and instantly reacted properly. With a cougar, the correct thing to do is fight back hard and convince that cougar that you’re not going to be available for prey,” Hunt said.

Going vintage at Sunnybrook VINTAGE VEHICLES TAKE UP RESIDENCE AT SUNNYBROOK FARM MUSEUM BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF A 1911 McLaughlin-Buick automobile that at one time chugged down the dirt lanes of Red Deer finally has a cozy place to call home at Sunnybrook Farm Museum. The new Roseneath Garage was open to the public on Saturday to house artifacts donated to the museum. The McLaughlin-Buick, donated in 2009 by Judi McIntoshRobertson and family of Red Deer, was originally owned by her
grandfather Julius McIntosh. The car was purchased from Parke Motors, the first auto dealer in Red Deer, and is believed to be one of only two in existence in Canada. “We finally have a home worthy of our 1911 McLaughlin-Buick automobile,” said museum executive director Ian Warwick on Saturday at the ceremony that attracted about 40 people. The vintage auto has been in storage until now. “We’re trying to tell the story of Central Alberta and the people who lived here.
“It’s certainly a piece of local history. “It’s the same vehicle that was used by Sir Wilfrid Laurier in 1910 when he came and visited Red Deer.” Julius McIntosh, a bricklayer by trade and descendant of John McIntosh who discovered the original McIntosh Apple, came to Red Deer in the early 1900s and literally built Red Deer. His work included the McIntosh Tea House and many other historic brick buildings in the city.

Great inspiration led to teaching career HUNTING HILLS MATH TEACHER CITES HER OWN ‘VERY GOOD’ MATH TEACHER; WINS TEACHING AWARD BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF Red Deer teacher Shari Jensen was among 20 recipients of the 2013 Excellence in Teaching Awards at an education celebration in Edmonton on Saturday. Winners were chosen from among 129 semi-finalists from across the province. Award nominees are chosen for their leadership, creativity, innovation, collaborative work with colleagues, and positive learning environments they create. Jensen, a math teacher at Hunting Hills High School, said having a very good math teacher when she was in Grade 12 put her on her chosen career path. “It just clicked for me and I thought that’s what I’d like to do for other people,” said Jensen, 41. She said she tries to make math fun, engage students in an easy-going environment, and downplay the difficulty. “There’s a lot of kids that just come in and say, ‘I’m bad at math.’ No you’re not. You can do it.

Hunting Hills High School math teacher Shari Jensen, left, has been awarded an excellence in teaching award. “Everybody can do it.” And Jensen said that includes girls bucking the mathgender stereotype. “Maybe I’m just not old enough to know how it was 40 years ago. Our girls are strong. They’re doing very well. I always have very strong girls and very strong boys.” Advances in technology and
tools in class provide more ways to show how math works. The more ways there are, the better chance of students understanding, she said. “When I started we were using white boards. Now we’ve evolved into SMART Boards. Any three dimensional shape, or any movement of an object, or anything that’s happening, I

CAR: In family for over 100 years McIntosh-Robertson said the last time she rode in her grandfather’s vehicle was during a parade in 1959 when she was about eight. “I occasionally got to sit behind the wheel, but only under supervision because nobody touched that car,” McIntosh-Robertson who was snapping photos of her grandsons in the car’s front seat. “My dad kept it in the basement.” Since the car had been in her family for over 100 years, she donated it to Sunnybrook Farm Museum so it could be admired in Red Deer. “Why hide it. Let everyone come and enjoy it and realize that was air conditioning,” she said with a smile about the roof-less automobile. The McLaughlin-Buick is joined in the garage by a 1927 Chevrolet Coach automobile, donated by Gail Wilson, of Bentley and her son Darren Wilson, of Lacombe; and a 1927 Model TT Truck, donated by Dan Murdock and Audrey Egilsson of Sunshine Door/ Doormasters Inc. Warwick said they are all working artifacts. “When it comes to a vehicle inside a museum, you have to keep it running. You’re fighting against deterioration over time so it’s good to run it once a year.” Roseneath Garage, named after principal donor George Braitwaite’s family farm, is temperature controlled for displaying and storing artifacts on the south-side development of the museum property. “We don’t envision this to be a Heritage Park like Calgary. But we wanted to celebrate farming and the farming community. So this is the first project, the garage,” Warwick said. On Saturday, the museum also kicked off its 25th anniversary celebration so it has been collecting artifacts for years. “We’re still looking for donations to fill out and tell the story. So we’re hoping building the garage will help. Maybe people have things that have a particular story to tell that have been in the family for generations and want to donate.” The $130,000 garage is part of a $188,000 project that included the south parking area that will be completed this year. Among the donations was an $88,000 matching provincial grant, $25,000 from George Braitwaite, and many other donations including volunteer labour. Warwick said the museum has seen a big increase in visits through its school program. “Word has gotten out it’s a great program for kids to learn about pioneer life and science. So those programs are filled to capacity. Our day camp programs are popular as well.”

Visitors to the Roseneath Garage at Sunnybrook Farm Museum on Saturday checked out the three vintage vehicles now on display, including the 1911 McLaughlin-Buick. Lots of local families with young children visit the museum on a regular basis, just like a city park. Admission is by donation which makes it easier for families, he said. “Ever since we built the playground a couple of years ago, the kids love coming here to see the baby animals. That’s a huge draw for little kids.” Two new events were added the museum’s jampacked schedule for its 25th year: ● June 16 — Fathers Day Country Fair - 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., featuring a Fathers Day Country Breakfast, Cowboy Church Service and Farmers Market to finish off the week-long Lieutenant Governor’s Arts Awards Celebrations in Red Deer. Admission by donation. ● July 13 — Alberta Heritage Breeds Lawn Show - 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., celebrating the Heritage Breeds Association of Alberta with a lawn show featuring chickens, turkeys and many other exotic live animals, and lots of kids activities.

COUGAR: Fought off with skateboard “He was carrying his skateboard, so he used that skateboard in defence of himself and was able to hit the cougar with it, which stunned the animal and he was able to get away.” Remarkably, Hunt said the man wasn’t injured. He said the man was fit and young, and was fairly tall, which he said probably worked in his favour. Hunt said officials are tracking the cougar and hope to capture it. “Right now we’re kind of in a heightened state of alert,” he said. A wildlife bulletin issued by Parks Canada says there has also been a report of a cougar chasing a
deer in the Banff townsite. Park officials are restricting access to an area north of the townsite where the attack occurred and say violators risk a fine of up to $5,000. A Canmore woman was killed by a cougar in 2001 while she was cross-country skiing near Lake Minnewanka in Banff National Park. Cougars are normally very wary and selective of their prey, Hunt said, living on deer, elk and other animals. He explained that one might take exceptional risks by coming closer to people if it had experienced a difficult winter. Hunt said park officials aren’t sure if it’s one cougar or more, yet. Scat that’s been collected will be analysed for DNA evidence, he said. Cameras are being set up on bridges and he said hounds are also being used. If it’s caught, Hunt said it may have to be destroyed. “No decisions have been made yet. But If we’re certain it’s the same animal that attacked this gentleman then it’s definitely a candidate for destruction, just because that’s such unusual behaviour for a cougar, it’s a difficult thing to risk that re-occurring,” he said. Hunt said if they catch an animal and it isn’t the one that attacked the man, it may be released elsewhere, although he said it’s difficult to find a safe place to release a cougar. Parks Canada says people should travel in groups and keep a careful eye on children to avoid cougar encounters. People should also avoid travelling during dawn and dusk, and pets should be kept on leashes, officials say. Carrying bear spray, making noise, and leaving the area if an animal carcass is discovered are other tips that Parks Canada says should be followed. Listening to music is not a good idea, Hunt said. “That’s one thing we advise people, especially right now, not to do. Don’t wear your earbuds if you’re outside around Banff. You want to be able to be alert to your surroundings,” he said.
Vimy Ridge tour gives hope to Canadian Afghan vets suffering from PTSD BY THE CANADIAN PRESS VIMY RIDGE, FRANCE — A group of Canadian soldiers, struggling with post traumatic stress, paid a moving visit to Vimy Ridge on Sunday, in the hope the carnage from one of the country’s most horrific battles will help bring comfort. With an authentic First World War officer’s trench watch in his pocket, Capt. Andrew Richardson says the
journey to the site of the historic engagement helps make sense of his time in Afghanistan. The names of all 3,598 killed in the April 9, 1917 assault are etched into the stone surface of the soaring monument, but Richardson says he thinks about the ones who went home and picked up the pieces of their shattered lives. “Just standing here, I can’t believe the number of shell craters,” he said, surveying the landscape still rumpled

and possibly stitched with unexploded bombs. “It’s a hell’uva feeling.” The scale of the devastation, even with the passage of almost 100 years, is breath-taking, and it made the young artillery officer wonder where the survivors found the strength to not only carry on, but flourish. “I know how my war experiences shaped me, but to have literally gone through Hell; to have lived with rats; the constant threat of being blown up; the constant shelling; the raids, I can’t

even begin to imagine what those guys went through,” said Richardson, who served in Kandahar in 2011. The fact the majority of them resumed their lives, without doubt suffering from post traumatic stress, gives him hope for his future. “When you look at the contributions of the soldiers who had fought here throughout Canadian society, once they got home; these men came back weaker in some ways, but strengthened and resolved,” he said.

Redford invites all Albertans WANTS MORE INPUT INTO GOVERNMENT POLICY BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — Premier Alison Redford says her plan to get Progressive Conservative party members more directly involved in crafting government policy doesn’t mean other Albertans will be denied their say. “I think all Albertans should have a say in government policy,” Redford told reporters Saturday when asked about the issue at her party’s policy conference at an Edmonton hotel. “That’s why we’ve put in place legislative committees (and) we ensure that our ministers and our members are accessible to the public wherever possible.” Redford made the comments a day after she announced to delegates the creation of new policy advisory committees made up of Progressive Conservative members. The committees, known as PACs, will speak directly and deliver suggestions to government politicians on policy. They are expected to be up and running by the fall. “With policy advisory committees, our grassroots will have an unprec-

party.” Earlier Saturday, Redford addressed the issue of the province’s plan to run up $17 billion in debt over the next four years to pay for infrastructure. “We’re not incurring debt. We’re financing capital projects,” Redford told party rank and file in an open question and answer session. “We’re financing infrastructure for the long term to make sure that we don’t end up with an infrastructure deficit. “So that we can have the schools and the roads and the hospitals that we need today.” Redford said the projects won’t burden future generations with red ink. “We have a commitment to pay those projects off over the life of the project or — if we do better with respect to revenue — before the project’s life ends,” she said. While delegates debated policy issues, about 300 protesters braved rain and cool winds behind the hotel to protest cuts in this year’s budget. The protesters, who hailed from Red Deer and beyond, listened to speeches and even played carnival games such as “Whack a Broken Promise” akin to whack-a-mole.

Degree of ‘political control’ over RCMP does not bode well for expense probe BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
SENATE EXPENSES
A former RCMP superintendent says he’s never seen the degree of political control over the Mounties that exists now, and says it “does not bode well” for an objective police investigation of the Senate expense scandal. Garry Clement, a 30-year veteran of the force who spent more than half those years working in the national capital region, told CTV’s Question Period on Sunday that the thrust of the RCMP investigation will likely centre around Section 122 of the Criminal Code and breach of trust. “From my read of the act and what’s been alleged through the media, I think they’ve got pretty strong grounds,” Clement said. The Mounties are taking a preliminary look at the expenses of three senators, Mike Duffy, Patrick Brazeau and Mac Harb.
All three claimed housing expenses that were deemed inappropriate and have repaid, or are being asked to repay, tens of thousands of dollars. In the case of Sen. Duffy, Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s chief of staff Nigel Wright secretly gave him $90,000 to pay off his inappropriate expenses. Duffy’s refund was then used by him to deny co-operation with independent forensic auditors, and the refund has since been cited by top Conservative senators as the reason why a Senate committee report deleted language that was critical of Duffy’s actions. That has opposition MPs and Liberal Senators claiming a coverup was orchestrated by the Prime Minister’s Office. Clement noted in his CTV interview that Wright is a lawyer, “so I
would think, or hope, that he’s ... dotted his i’s and crossed his t’s,” in his deal with Duffy. “But if this was done knowingly to cover up what could be construed as a criminal act, I think Mr. Wright would have some questions that need to be answered,” Clement added. The Conservative government mandated in 2011 that all RCMP communications be cleared through the office of Public Safety Minister Vic Toews. “Having been at the RCMP for 30 years, and when I was, I was in the national capital region for the better part of 18 years dealing with all levels of investigations, yeah, I would suggest I don’t think I’ve seen — at least since my relationship with the RCMP started — I don’t think I’ve ever seen the type of control that’s been placed on the RCMP, which is a little bit disconcerting from a former member,” said Clement.
EDMONTON — The mom of an Edmonton toddler killed when an SUV crashed into a restaurant patio met privately “mother to mother” with Premier Alison Redford on Saturday. Sage Morin showed the premier pictures of twoyear-old Geo Mounsef and related stories about how she would sing to him in the womb, said a spokesperson for Redford. The two promised to keep in touch about plans for a public celebration of Geo’s life set for July 16th on what would have been Geo’s third birthday. “I was able to introduce her to Geo,” Morin told reporters after the meeting at a south Edmonton hotel suite during a policy meeting of Redford’s Progressive Conservative party. “I was meeting her more on a mother-to-mother basis.” Geo was killed a week ago during dinner with his family on a restaurant patio in the city. Police allege the driver shifted the SUV into drive instead of reverse and the vehicle lurched ahead. Geo’s parents were also injured, but his fivemonth-old brother was unharmed. Morin said her son died an hour later in hospital. Morin and supporters in a cavalcade of 30-plus trucks and cars — some decorated in red balloons, others with signs proclaiming Justice for Geo — converged Saturday afternoon at the hotel. They paraded past the front entrance, honking horns. “When we learned she was coming, and it wasn’t something we had a lot of notice on, the premier said she absolutely wanted to meet,” Neala Barton, who speaks for Redford, told reporters later. “It’s a case that has touched a lot of people. “I think (Redford’s) heart went out to the family, absolutely.” Barton said Redford agreed to meet again to discuss Morin’s plans to campaign for harsher sentences for drunk drivers. “It’s not a case of getting involved in the case at all. It’s a case of listening as a mother. The premier has a daughter,” said Barton. Morin said she wants to see a minimum sentence for those convicted of impaired driving causing death, and hopes to enlist Redford’s support. She noted Redford’s government has already passed a law that enables police to seize vehicles if the driver has .05 per cent alcohol or more in the bloodstream. “The premier being the person who dropped these (blood alcohol limits in) laws before is the person who is going to be able to stand with me and take this fight to the front lines, where it belongs,” said Morin. Geo is to be buried Wednesday. The case led to raw emotions in the courtroom Friday when the accused, 62-year-old Richard Suter, was granted bail. Suter was released on $1,000 bail on the condition he stay away from alcohol. His driver’s licence has also been suspended. Details of what was presented at the bail hearing and the judge’s reasons are covered under a publication ban. Suter’s lawyer, Dino Bottos, has said his client is a retired businessman and grandfather with no criminal record.

Red Deer City RCMP are searching for the driver of a stolen vehicle that hit two police cars during a traffic stop on Thursday night. Police say officers spotted a stolen truck in the downtown and initiated a traffic stop in the Fairview neighbourhood around 8:15 p.m. The suspect stopped for police, then reversed into the front grill of the police car. When the truck fled the scene it collided with another police cruiser and a parked vehicle on the side of the road. The vehicle and its four passengers drove off, heading out of the city. The driver in the stolen Ford F-350 truck was described as aboriginal, about 20 years old, with long curly hair. Anyone with infor-

A holiday from Canada’s health-care straitjacket OTHER NATIONS COULD TEACH CANADA A THING OR TWO TO IMPROVE ITS AILING HEALTH-CARE SYSTEM BY NADEEM ESMAIL AND MARK MILKE SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE For many Canadians, late May marks the beginning of summertime holiday planning, if not a late May escape after a long winter. For those who travel outside of the country in the coming months, we have a modest proposal: find a pub, sit down with locals and ask about their nation’s health care system. We would wager citizens of every country think health care could be improved. However, we would also bet a plane ticket to someone’s favourite summer getaway that Canadians will find countries with universal health care, such as Australia, Japan, or favourite tourist destinations in Europe, have far better health care than we do. That’s because their citizens and their governments have no hang-ups about the three boogeymen of upfront fees, “private” insurance and private delivery.
In developed countries around the world that cover every citizen (so exclude the United States at present), competition, user fees, and the private sector help get citizens the health care they need, and importantly, when they need it. For example, consider Australia, where Australians have a choice of public hospital care or private hospital care, the former fully funded with tax dollars and the latter partially funded with tax dollars. Not to mention taxpayer financing for private parallel health insurance. Australia’s goal is to ensure fair and affordable choice with vibrant, competitive public and private systems. The benefit is better cost management. And it must be mentioned Australians don’t wait anywhere near as long as we do for health care; they also receive excellent care for fewer dollars. Or ponder Japan. There, private hospitals and clinics compete with one another to supply patient care. Patients in Japan are responsible for a big part of the final bill however, with insurance picking up only part (but more than half) of the tab until a monthly cap on user fees is reached. The result of competition and upfront user fees is prompt high-quality health care, delivered very cost effectively. Like Europe? So do we, and not only
‘SWISS PATIENTS NOT ONLY GET TO CHOOSE WHO PROVIDES THEIR HEALTH CARE, THEY CAN ALSO PICK THEIR PRIVATE UNIVERSAL INSURANCE COMPANY.’ for its great architecture, fine food and pleasant cities. In Europe, a variety of countries best Canada’s record on health care. They do so with approaches that would have status-quo health care types set their hair on fire. Consider Sweden. There, you might hear how patients were treated under the universal insurance scheme in a private for-profit hospital with a reputation as one of Sweden’s most efficient. You’ll likely also hear that going to the doctor is not ‘free’ in Sweden, and generally costs patients $15 or more per visit. Then again, the Swedes get world-class health care delivered much more efficiently than ours. While you’re in Europe, chat with someone from Switzerland: Swiss patients not only get to choose who provides their health care, they can also pick their private, universal insurance company. You might also hear interesting stories of how people select dif-
ferent deductible levels, or self-limit their choice of providers to reduce their insurance premiums. What you won’t hear are complaints about health care waiting times. Instead, they have some of the best health care in the developed world. Finally, let’s not forget the Netherlands. In the past decade, this is the only developed nation with universal health care to have eliminated concerns about waiting. How? As with Switzerland, talk to a local, and you’ll likely hear about insurance deductibles and choices about insurers. You may also hear about insurance programs that aim to speed up care for patients. Some even guarantee treatment within days. In addition, you’ll discover that private hospitals in the Netherlands compete for patients under the universal scheme, one key policy that helped eliminate line-ups for health care. The above are but a selection of some favourite tourist destinations. They are also nations with progressive, sensible health care practices that could help improve Canada’s health care system. Travel can be enlightening. Nadeem Esmail is the director of health policy at the Fraser Institute. Mark Milke is a senior fellow with the institute.

and photosynthetic energy. Species in danger of extinction inform us that our activity is undermining the very life support systems of the planet. Witness the sage grouse in Alberta: almost 90 per cent of its Canadian population died off between 1988 and 2006 because of habitat destruction caused mainly by oil and gas development. But the Alberta government refuses to curb economic growth and protect the areas it needs to survive and recover. Witness the changes the federal government made last year to the Fisheries Act, controversially weakening the law so only a few select categories of fish will receive legal protection from industrial development. And now, Ontario is poised to weaken its Endangered Species Act by creating a range of exemptions so industry will not have to follow its habitatprotection requirements. A recently released scientific study proves that endangered species legislation really works. According to the U.S. Center for Biological Diversity’s report, scientists estimate that, were it not for the Endangered Species Act, at least 227 species would likely have gone extinct. The report notes the act wasn’t merely saving plants and creatures from extinction; it also facilitated recovery for more than 100 at-risk species, including the American crocodile, whooping crane and black-footed

ferret. Despite the evidence that endangered species laws are effective, governments in Canada are proceeding with deregulation and abdicating their responsibilities for wildlife habitat protection, often quietly. After all, only a few environmental watchdogs such as the David Suzuki Foundation are looking out for creatures that otherwise have no voice. But our governments underestimate the public. The federal government likely wagered few would pay much attention when it stripped protections from the Fisheries Act and Environmental Assessment Act. But concerned citizens not only noticed, they protested loudly across the country. Now, we have an opportunity to be heard before a change is made, as the government of Ontario has not yet passed its proposed exemptions to the Endangered Species Act.

CSIS knew of navy spy’s activity BUT HELD FILE BACK FROM RCMP THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Canada’s spy agency clandestinely watched a navy officer pass top secret information to Russia for months without briefing the RCMP — a previously unknown operation that raises questions about whether Jeffrey Delisle could have been arrested sooner. The Canadian Press has learned that the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation alerted the Canadian Security Intelligence Service to Delisle’s illicit dealings with Moscow well before the Mounties took on the file in December 2011 and later brought him into custody. CSIS ultimately decided not to transfer its thick Delisle dossier to the RCMP. The spy agency, acting on legal advice, opted to keep its investigation sealed for fear of exposing a trove of Canadian and U.S. secrets of the intelligence trade in open court proceedings. In a bizarre twist, it fell to the FBI — not CSIS — to send a letter to the RCMP spelling out how a Canadian was pilfering extremely sensitive information, including highly classified U.S. material. The RCMP had to start its own investigation of Delisle almost from scratch. The delay alarmed and frustrated Washington as the geyser of secrets continued to spew. At one point the Americans, eager to see Delisle in handcuffs, sketched out a Plan B: luring the Canadian officer to the U.S. and arresting him themselves, perhaps during a stopover en route to a Caribbean vacation. The RCMP and CSIS are supposed to be able to “seamlessly hand off cases back and forth between them,” said intelligence historian Wesley Wark, a visiting professor at the University of Ottawa’s graduate school of public and international affairs. He said “it is deeply troubling” if the system indeed broke down in the Delisle case over CSIS’s refusal to share its files or to bring the RCMP in at an early stage. “I think that’s scandalous, in fact,” said Wark, who served as an expert witness at Delisle’s sentencing. “And it would be a matter, I think, for a judicial inquiry or certainly a serious parliamentary investigation.” According to Delisle’s lawyer, it also flags important legal concerns about the government’s obligation to disclose all of the evidence against someone charged with breaching national security. An investigation by The Canadian Press, drawing on multiple sources familiar with the
File photo by THE CANADIAN PRESS
Sub-Lt. Jeffrey Paul Delisle is escorted by sheriffs from Nova Scotia provincial court after being sentenced to 20 years in prison, in Halifax on Friday, Feb. 8, 2013. Delisle, convicted of selling military secrets to Russia, became the first person to be sentenced under Canada’s Security of Information Act. Delisle case, reveals that CSIS was deeply involved in the file before the Mounties entered the picture. Several sources spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the case publicly. The RCMP arrested Delisle, now 42, on Jan. 13, 2012, for violating the Security of Information Act. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 20 years in prison last February. Delisle had given secret material to Russia in exchange for upward of $110,000 over a period of more than four years. Until now the official story — as revealed through the court record — has suggested the FBI first tipped Canadian authorities to Delisle’s relationship with the Russians on Dec. 2, 2011, via the letter to the RCMP. But the story actually begins months earlier. Senior CSIS officials were called to Washington where U.S. security personnel told them a navy officer in Halifax was receiving cash transfers from Russian agents. One of the paymasters was Mary Larkin, a known pseudonym used by Russian intelligence in running a U.S. spy ring — busted by the FBI in
2010 — that included the glamorous Anna Chapman and several others. CSIS soon obtained court approval to begin electronic surveillance of Delisle. Despondent over his failed marriage and nursing financial woes, Delisle decided in 2007 to commit “professional suicide,” as he would later put it, by walking into the Russian embassy in Ottawa and volunteering to offer up some of western intelligence’s most valuable secrets. He spied for the Russians while working in sensitive posts at National Defence headquarters, including the military’s nerve centre, the Strategic Joint Staff, and at the office of the Chief of Defence Intelligence. As a sub-lieutenant at the Trinity intelligence centre in Halifax, Delisle had access to a data bank of classified secrets shared by the Five Eyes community — Canada, the United States, Britain, Australia and New Zealand. It soon became clear to CSIS that Delisle was handing over a great deal of highly sensitive material originating from the United States. “The information he gave up caused grave damage — grave damage — to the U.S.,” said one source. “We’re getting into the cat-
egory of sources, techniques and methods of the most sensitive nature.” Pressure on the Canadians began to build as American patience eroded. The FBI director and senior U.S. justice officials called counterparts in Canada. “There was a very small subset of information provided by Delisle that impacted a couple of other of the Five Eyes, but it paled in comparison to the volume and gravity of the U.S. information he gave up,” said the source. In mid-September 2011, Delisle was summoned to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to meet one of his Russian handlers. But it wasn’t Delisle’s obvious lack of a vacation tan that prompted Canada Border Services Agency officials to submit him to a secondary search upon his return. CSIS had tipped the border agency to Delisle’s pending arrival at the Halifax airport in a bid to gather more evidence for the case against him. During its search, the border agency discovered a Rio hotel receipt, more than $6,500 in cash — most of it new $100 American bills — and pre-paid credit cards. After reviewing the case, CSIS lawyers said handing the spy service’s file to the RCMP would pose the risk that both
U.S. and Canadian secrets — investigative sources and methods — might be disclosed in criminal court as part of the requirement to ensure a fair trial. During a meeting in Ottawa, CSIS, the FBI and RCMP discussed the possibility of arresting Delisle in the United States during an airport stopover, or by arranging a U.S. military secondment or training course for him. However, it was decided jointly that the FBI would send a letter to the RCMP about the case. It almost “shocks the conscience” that an American agency had to formally notify the Mounties, said a source who spoke out of concern about what they see as systemic flaws in Canada’s intelligence apparatus that allowed Delisle to peddle secrets longer than necessary. “CSIS had already made the case. But RCMP had to do it again.” As the Mounties investigated, the junior intelligence officer continued to pass information to the Russians that was “as damaging or more damaging” than earlier packages uncovered during the CSIS probe, one source said. Another source with knowledge of the investigation said ideally the Canadian Forces would have detected Delisle’s actions and told CSIS. “CSIS should have helped them (the Forces) to investigate a little bit more,” said the source. “Eventually when they collected enough evidence, we say, ‘We’ve got a criminal case here,’ then we go to the RCMP and we let the RCMP prepare the criminal case from the investigation.” Delisle’s lawyer, Mike Taylor, said he knew nothing of a prequel investigation by CSIS and found the revelation “disturbing,” adding that it raises serious questions about whether his client’s charter rights were violated, and how the Canadian government pursues national security investigations. “I’ve always had concerns about what was going on behind the scenes,” Taylor said in an interview. The existence of the spy service investigation and the resulting document trail should have been part of the court record, Taylor said, and had he known about them it would have affected the advice given to his client. In the end, Delisle might still have pleaded guilty, Taylor said, but nevertheless he should have been given the “opportunity to chase back and determine whether information was obtained unlawfully.”

TORONTO — Drug allegations that have dogged Toronto’s mayor for more than a week may have some rivals and observers calling for his resignation, but Rob Ford vowed on Sunday to seek re-election. On his weekly radio show, Rob Ford said he can’t wait for next year’s municipal race and plans to start campaigning as soon as legally possible. “I’ll be the first putting my name on that ballot,” he said Sunday afternoon. He repeated that the accusations against him are false and bitterly attacked the media for the way the story has been covered, calling them “a bunch of maggots.” “It’s unfortunate that you get put in this situation, but we’re moving forward,” he said. The Toronto Star and gossip website Gawker reported earlier this month that they viewed a cellphone video that appears to show the mayor smoking crack cocaine. Ford, who hosts the radio show with his brother Coun. Doug Ford, repeated the claim is ridiculous and instead boasted of his record in cutting fat at city hall and said there’s still
more he plans to achieve if re-elected. Mayor Ford only stayed for half the two hour show citing a family commitment and only took a couple phone calls from listeners.

Obama consoles tornado victims VISITS SCENE OF DESTRUCTION, OFFERS FEDERAL SUPPORT IN REBUILDING EFFORTS
MOORE, Okla. — President Barack Obama on Sunday visited tornado-devastated Moore, Oklahoma, consoling people staggered by the loss of life and property and promising that the government will be behind them “every step of the way.” “I’m just a messenger here,” the president said, saying “folks are behind you” across America. He offered moral and monetary support in the wake of the monstrous tornado that killed 24 people, including 10 children, last Monday afternoon. The extraordinarily powerful twister that struck Moore was known as an EF5, ranking it at the top of the enhanced Fujita scale used to measure tornado strength. Standing with Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin and other state and federal officials, Obama noted the substantial rebuilding job ahead and said “our hearts go out to you.” “This is a strong community with strong character,” he said. “There’s no doubt they will bounce back. But they need help.” The White House said the Federal Emergency Management Agency has already provided $57 million in rebates and incentives to help build about 12,000 storm shelters in Oklahoma. “These storm shelters can be the difference between life and death,” presidential spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters accompanying Obama to Oklahoma on Air Force One. For Obama, Sunday’s visit had an all-too-familiar ring. Only five months into his second term, he has travelled to the northeast to console people in the wake of the Boston Marathon bombing, and visited Connecticut and Arizona to comfort people traumatized by shooting rampages. He also has undertaken his consoler-in-chief role at the site of plant explosions and mine disasters, not to mention a series of natural disasters
including Joplin, Missouri, which was hit by a tornado, and the Jersey Shore, which was heavily damaged by Superstorm Sandy last year. Once on the ground in Oklahoma, Obama urged the American people to make contributions, saying the damage was “pretty hard to comprehend.” Obama noted the tornado destroyed some 1,200 homes and damaged thousands more. Shortly after his arrival on a partly cloudy day, Obama rode past grassy fields strewn with scattered debris, witnessing devastation so awesome that it appeared as if garbage had literally rained from the sky. His first stop was the demolished site of the Plaza Towers Elementary School, where seven students were killed when the tornado turned the one-story building into a heap of bricks, broken concrete and twisted metal. “I know this is tough,” he told superintendent Susie Pierce as he gripped her hand. As he walked, the demolished school was on his left and on his right, homes as far as the eye could see were reduced to piles of rubble. Vehicles were turned upside down and toys like a pink doll carriage and children’s books were strewn with furniture and ripped out wall insulation. Every tree had been stripped of its leaves and bark. Obama at one point joined the Lewis family, which lost their home behind the school. He said the important thing was that they survived and could replace their things. “What a mess,” he told their son Zack, a third grader at the shattered school. Zack’s father, Scott, ran into the school just before the storm hit and ran with his terrified son back to their home’s storm shelter. “You’ve got some story to tell,” Obama told the boy. “This is something you’ll remember all your life.” Obama later met privately with vic-

Obama marveled that they saved so many lives “given the devastation.” As he descended the stairs upon landing at Tinker Air Base near here, Obama was greeted first by Fallin, who had said earlier she appreciated the visit, but that her state also needed quick action from FEMA. The Republican governor said that so far, the agency has done a great job of speeding relief and cash assistance to affected families, but said she’s concerned about the long run. “There’s going to come a time when there’s going to be a tremendous amount of need once we begin the de-
Rockets hit Beirut, backlash for Hezbollah role in Syria THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BEIRUT — Two rockets hit Hezbollah strongholds in Beirut on Sunday, tearing through an apartment and peppering cars with shrapnel, a day after the Lebanese group’s leader pledged to lift President Bashar Assad to victory in Syria’s civil war. The strikes illustrated the potential backlash against Hezbollah at home for linking its fate to the survival of the Assad regime. It’s a gambit that also threatens to pull fragile Lebanon deeper into Syria’s bloody conflict. Despite such risks, Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah made it clear there is no turning back. In a televised speech Saturday, he said Hezbollah will keep fighting alongside Assad’s forces until victory, regardless of the costs. For Hezbollah, it may well be an existential battle. If Assad falls, Hezbollah’s supply line of Iranian weapons through Syrian territory would dry up and it could become increasingly isolated in the region. At the same time, Hezbollah, a Shiite Muslim group, is raising the sectarian stakes in Lebanon by declaring war on Syria’s rebels, most of them Sunni Muslims. Lebanon and Syria share the same uneasy mix of Sunnis, Shiites, Christians and Alawites, or followers of an offshoot of Shiite Islam. In trying to defeat the rebels, Assad relies on support from minority Shiites, Christians and his fellow Alawites. On Beirut’s beach promenade, opinions about Hezbollah’s new strategy seemed to fall along religious lines. Mahmoud Masoud, a Sunni, said he fears Lebanon will become more unstable. “I don’t want to see everything I’ve worked for and my country fall apart of because of a certain group’s interests,” he said of Hezbollah.
Tamam Alameh, a Shiite, sided with Hezbollah. “The Syrians helped Lebanon a lot. We should help them and rid them of the conflict in their country,” he said. The rockets struck early Sunday in south Beirut, an unusual type of attack. In occasional sectarian flare-ups since the end of Lebanon’s 15-year civil war in 1990, rival groups have mostly fought in the streets.
One rocket hit a car dealership in the Mar Mikhael district, wounding four Syrian workers, badly damaging two cars, and spraying others with shrapnel. Part of the rocket’s main body was embedded in the ground, where a Lebanese soldier measured its diameter. The second rocket tore through a secondfloor apartment in the Chiyah district.
bris clearing, which we already have, but really get it cleared off to where we need to start rebuilding these homes, rebuilding these businesses,” she said on CBS’ Face the Nation. “And we know at different times in the past, money hasn’t come always as quickly as it should.“ Earnest touted the federal contributions so far, including Obama’s signing of a disaster declaration within hours of the storm to speed aid from the FEMA. Earnest said that 450 FEMA personnel were working on the ground in Oklahoma and have delivered 43,000 meals, 150,000 litres of water and thousands of cots, blankets and tarps. He said 4,200 people have applied for disaster assistance, and $3.4 million in payments have been approved.

FORREST GRIFFIN
GRIFFIN RETIRES FROM MMA Former light heavyweight champion Forrest Griffin has announced his retirement from the UFC. Griffin made his announcement Saturday night after UFC 160. Griffin has fought just three times since November 2009 while struggling with multiple injuries. He beat Tito Ortiz in what turned out to be both veterans’ final fight at UFC 148 last July. UFC President Dana White says Griffin will work for the promotion. Griffin gained fame on the first season of “The Ultimate Fighter,” the UFC’s reality show. He finished with a spectacular victory over Stephan Bonnar in April 2005 in a fight widely considered the most important in UFC history. After Griffin won the UFC light heavyweight title in July 2008 with a victory over Rampage Jackson, he lost it to Rashad Evans.

Big award for Bartosak REBELS NETMINDER GETS MORE RECOGNITION FOR GREAT SEASON BY BEING NAMED CHL GOALIE OF THE YEAR BY GREG MEACHEM ADVOCATE SPORTS EDITOR Red Deer Rebels netminder Patrik Bartosak entered the 2012-13 Western Hockey League season with high hopes. What he managed to accomplish went far behind his wildest dreams. “It feels awesome. I would not expect that before the season started,” Bartosak said Sunday from his home in Koprivnice, Czech Republic, one day after being named the Canadian Junior Hockey League goaltender of the year. Bartosak, who was named the WHL’s top stopper earlier in the month, went into the history books as the first netminder from across the Atlantic to be named as the CHL’s best. “It is unreal for me as a first European to win this award. It means a lot to me and I appreciate the support all around me and the team,” he said. The 20-year-old is a sure bet to be selected in the NHL entry draft in late June at Newark, N.J., and he’s hard at work in ensuring that he’s ready for the 2013-14 season, whether he will be back in Red Deer or in the
Patrik Bartosak pro ranks. “I have been training for a couple weeks already, so I guess I am just going to keep on doing that, then go to New Jersey for the draft,” said Bartosak. “We will see what happens there, but this is going to be a big summer for me I think, so I have to get as much ready as I can and the only way of achieving that is working hard. “This was an unreal season
with great bunch of guys, and I’m pretty sure it would have not happened without everybody’s support.” Bartosak won 33 regular-season games in 2012-13 while posting a 2.26 goals-against average, .935 save percentage and five shutouts. In nine playoff games, he was 5-3-1 with a 1.97 GAA, .941 save percentage and one shutout. Meanwhile, Halifax Mooseheads star forward Jonathan Drouin was named the 201213 CHL player of the year and Mooseheads bench boss Dominique Ducharme took home coach of the year honours. “The trophy I want is (on Sunday),” Drouin, who had 41 goals and 64 assists in 49 games this season and is the No. 3 ranked North American skater ahead of next month’s NHL draft, told the Canadian Press. “That was our goal from the beginning of the year — winning the Memorial Cup.” Drouin was quick to note that winning an award like player of the year includes a lot of help from others. “There’s a lot of good things (involved),” he said. “I didn’t do it all myself. The coaching is
part of it, the linemates are part of it so it’s just a great year for everyone.” Portland Winterhawks defenceman Seth Jones, who is rated as the No. 1 North American skater by NHL Central Scouting, was named top prospect of the year. The other award winners announced were: Tyler Graovac of the Belleville Bulls (sportsman of the year), Brenden Leipsic and Nicolas Petan, both of the Winterhawks (top scorer of the year), Ben Fanelli of the Kitchener Rangers (humanitarian of the year), Josh Morrissey of the Prince Albert Raiders (scholastic player of the year), Valentin Zykov of the Baie-Comeau Drakkar (rookie of the year), and Ryan Sproul of the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds (defenceman of the year). ● Rick Polutnik of Red Deer was honoured during the Hockey Canada annual general meeting Friday in Charlottetown, P.E.I.

Mooseheads take the Memorial Cup BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Mooseheads 6 Winterhawks 4 SASKATOON — Nathan MacKinnon had three goals and two assists Sunday as the Halifax Mooseheads defeated the Portland Winterhawks 6-4 to win the MasterCard Memorial Cup. MacKinnon’s performance earned him the Stafford Smythe Memorial trophy as the tournament’s most valuable player. He led the event with seven goals. Fellow top prospect Jonathan Drouin assisted on five goals for the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League champions, who captured their first Canadian Hockey League title. Konrad Abeltshauser added two goals and an assist, while Martin Frk had a goal and two assists for Halifax, which got 40 saves from Zachary Fucale as a team from the QMJHL won the Memorial Cup for the third straight year. Ty Rattie had a goal and three assists while Nicolas Petan added a goal and two assists for the Winterhawks. Seth Jones and Brendan Leipsic scored for Portland, while Mac Carruth made 35 stops for the Western Hockey League champions. Leading 3-2 in the third, MacKinnon gave his team some breathing room at 7:36 with his tournament-leading sixth goal by chipping a puck past a fallen Carruth. Abeltshauser then followed up on a MacKinnon rush to bury a rebound at 11:11 to make it 5-2. Leipsic got one back for Portland at 14:32 and Rattie scored with 1:14 left to cut the deficit to one, but MacKinnon iced the game with 22.4 seconds remaining before the Mooseheads spilled onto to the ice to celebrate at the final buzzer. Down 3-0 after a disastrous first period, the Winterhawks came out with renewed vigour in the second, outshooting the Mooseheads 18-6 and scoring twice. Portland got its first while killing a penalty when Rattie jumped on a Halifax turnover in the Mooseheads end and fed Petan, who beat Fucale with a backhand move at 10:36. The Winterhawks, who won the WHL title despite the season-long suspension of coach and general manager Mike Johnston for transgressions that included financial perks for players and their families, looked to have cut the deficit to one later in the period, but after a video review it was judged

Rattie directed the puck into the net with his glove. No review would be needed a few minutes later with the teams playing 4-on-4 when Jones, a defenceman who is the No. 1 ranked North American skater according to NHL Central Scouting ahead of next June’s draft, roofed a shot on Fucale from in tight with 1:19 left in the period. The Mooseheads, who lost just six games in the regular season and once in the playoffs as the CHL’s top-ranked team before earning a bye right to the final of this tournament, came out flying in the first period. After Stephen MacAulay, Frk and MacKinnon couldn’t connect for Halifax on three glorious chances in front of Carruth, Abeltshauser got Halifax on the board at 6:31. The overage German defenceman, playing his final game for the Mooseheads, ripped
a one-timer off a feed from Drouin from the point past a screened Carruth up high on the power play. MacKinnon, who is second on the NHL’s Central Scouting list behind Jones, made it 2-0 just 89 seconds later, snapping a quick shot past Carruth from the slot. MacKinnon, a 17-year-old from Sidney Crosby’s hometown of Cole Harbour, N.S., also had a hat trick and an assist in Halifax’s 7-4 victory over Portland in the round robin. The Mooseheads stretched their lead to three at 15:59 on a rocket of a one-timer from Frk off another feed from Drouin that beat a helpless Carruth upstairs. Drouin, who was named CHL player of the year on Saturday, is ranked No. 3 behind Jones and MacKinnon ahead of the draft.

San Jose Sharks left wing T.J. Galiardi battles for the puck against Los Angeles Kings defenseman Robyn Regehr during the first period in Game 6 of their second-round NHL Stanley Cup playoff series in San Jose, Calif., Sunday.
Sharks 2 Kings 1 SAN JOSE, Calif. — Buoyed by a loud crowd and another early power-play goal, the San Jose Sharks matched Los Angeles’ three home wins with a third straight victory over the Kings at the Shark Tank. Now this all-California series comes down to a winner-take-all game on Los Angeles’ home ice. Joe Thornton got San Jose off to a fast start with a powerplay goal in the first period and TJ Galiardi added a goal in the second to help the Sharks force a decisive seventh game with a 2-1 victory over the defending Stanley Cup champions Sunday night. “We wanted this opportunity,” said Joe Pavelski, who set up Thornton’s goal. “We wanted to go play. We feel like we’ve played some good games there
before. It’s been a while since we’ve won, so we’re due.” Antti Niemi made 24 saves as the Sharks earned their third 2-1 home win of the series. Game 7 is Tuesday in Los Angeles. While the Kings seemingly have the advantage of home ice that has been so paramount this series, road teams in NHL history are 8-8 in seventh games of series where the home team has won the first six games, according to STATS LLC. “It’s followed the script. Home team wins back and forth,” Sharks coach Todd McLellan said. “It’s time for us to get there and try to change the story. We’re going to have to play a much better game than we did last time in that building. But they earned the right for home-ice. It’s our job to take it away from them.”

Kawasaki caps Blue Jays’ comeback BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Blue Jays 6 Orioles 5 TORONTO — The Toronto Blue Jays had plenty of chances for a breakout inning Sunday against Baltimore. When it finally came, it was light-hitting Munenori Kawasaki who delivered the knockout blow against Orioles closer Jim Johnson to give Toronto a thrilling 6-5 walk-off victory. Kawasaki capped Toronto’s four-run ninth with a two-run double that pushed Mark DeRosa across with the winning run. The Rogers Centre crowd of 28,502 erupted while the Blue Jays raced out to second base to mob the Japanese shortstop. The quirky Kawasaki — who had reporters in stitches as he joked around after the game — called it the best moment of his Major League Baseball career. “I did it,” a smiling Kawasaki said as he flipped through a translation book. “And give me a hug.” The affable 31-year-old shortstop has filled in admirably for Jose Reyes since the all-star went down with an ankle injury. Kawasaki has been steady defensively and came through with some clutch hits — a nice bonus from a player who started the season in triple-A Buffalo. “He’s making the most out of it,” said manager John Gibbons. “You tip your hat to the kid.” The Blue Jays got to Johnson (2-5) early in the ninth, putting runners on the corners with nobody out. Edwin Encarnacion got things started with a double and Adam Lind moved him to third with a single. J.P. Arencibia followed with a single that scored Encarnacion to trim Baltimore’s lead to 5-3. Brett Lawrie of Langley, B.C., flew out and Anthony Gose walked to load the bases. DeRosa grounded weakly to short to push another run across but forcing Gose out at second. With the outfielders playing shallow for the usually lighthitting Kawasaki, he drilled a Johnson pitch into the gap in left-centre field. Steve Delabar (4-1) worked one inning of relief for the win as the Blue Jays salvaged a split of the fourgame series. “We should be getting on the plane with three wins here, but I can’t hang my head too long,” Johnson said. “It’s going to hurt for a little bit, and it should. We’ve got to get ready to play again tomorrow.” Kawasaki, who was given the celebratory cream pie and Gatorade treatment by his teammates after the game, had three hits to raise his batting average from .228 to .247. “When Reyes went down we were scrambling,” Gibbons said. “We didn’t know what we were going to do. We knew very little about him but he’s come up here and done a tremendous job for us. He’s played just a good brand of baseball.” The dramatic finish was most welcome for the Blue Jays after they loaded the bases in the seventh and eighth innings but only had one run to show for it. Toronto left 13 men on base, one more than the visitors. There was some drama in the Toronto dugout as well as on the field in the ninth inning. Lawrie, apparently upset that Lind was held at third base on his fly ball to right field, exchanged words with Gibbons in the dugout. “We’ve probably talked this year more than you guys will ever know,” Gibbons said. “I don’t want to say he’s like my son, we’re not that tight, but we do talk a lot. He got a little heated, I got a little heated.

Toronto Blue Jays Munenori Kawasaki raises his arm to celebrate as he is hoisted by his team after hitting a game-winning walk-off double against the Baltimore Orioles in Toronto on Sunday. Jays won 6-5. That’s over. It’s no big deal, those things happen.” Lawrie didn’t go into details but said he got “caught up in the moment” as the Blue Jays were trying to chip away at the lead. Adam Jones homered for the Orioles, who outhit Toronto 14-12. The Orioles scored twice in the second inning and Jones hit a solo shot in the seventh for his 10th homer of the season. Baltimore (27-23) added a pair of runs in the ninth but the three-run lead wasn’t enough. Toronto (21-29) will close out its nine-game homestand with a two-game mini-series against the Atlanta Braves beginning Monday night. Baltimore starter Miguel Gonzalez turned in a steady performance on a sunny, comfortable afternoon. He gave up one earned run, four hits and three walks while striking out seven. Toronto starter Chad Jenkins lasted five innings, allowing two earned runs, eight hits and three walks (two intentional). The Orioles were aggressive from the start against the 2009 first-round draft pick, who was making his second start of the season. Nick Markakis singled in the first inning and tried to score when Jones doubled off the wall in left field. Melky Cabrera fired the ball to Kawasaki, who relayed it to Arencibia in plenty of time for the tag. In the second inning, Chris Davis hit a ground-rule double and moved to third on a J.J. Hardy single. Davis jogged home on a double from Matt Wieters and Hardy made it 2-0 when he scored on a Danny Valencia grounder. Gonzalez, meanwhile, kept the Blue Jays off the bases until Kawasaki reached on a bunt single in
the third inning. Kawasaki moved to third on a Jose Bautista single but they were stranded when Encarnacion struck out. Toronto halved Baltimore’s lead in the fourth inning. Lind singled, moved to third on a double by Arencibia and scored on a sacrifice fly by Lawrie. Gose followed with a sharp drive to centre field but had an extra-base hit taken away when Jones made a nice running catch. The Orioles loaded the bases in the fifth inning. Jenkins escaped by getting Hardy to line out to Encarnacion at first base. Thad Weber relieved Jenkins in the sixth and Baltimore once again loaded the bases. This time it was Manny Machado’s turn to strand three runners, as he hit into an inning-ending double play. Gonzalez was pulled with two out in the bottom of the sixth. Reliever Brian Matusz came on and Gose lined out to end the inning. The Blue Jays loaded the bases in the seventh inning with two outs. Lind flew out to shallow centre field to end the threat. Toronto made it a one-run game in the eighth inning when Kawasaki singled with the bases loaded to bring home Arencibia, who had reached on a single. Cabrera then hit a grounder to first base but Lawrie was forced out at home. Bautista came up with two outs and hit a sharp comebacker that reliever Tommy Hunter bravely bare-handed before getting the out at first. Delabar loaded the bases in the ninth inning. Wieters lashed a double to right field that scored Markakis and Jones.
Heat offence scorches Pacers to retake series lead JAMES SCORES 22 AS HEAT REGAIN HOME COURT ADVANTAGE Miami shot 54.5 per cent from the field, was 24 of 28 from the free-throw line, matched its highest-scoring quarter of the playoffs this season (34) in the first, broke the franchise’s post-season scoring record for a half with 70 points and tied a franchise playoff record with only one first-half turnover. The combination was the perfect remedy for Miami, which needed James’ buzzerbeating layup to win Game 1 in overtime and turned the ball over twice in the closing seconds of Game 2, a 97-93 loss. The Heat hadn’t led by more than five in either of those two home games. On Sunday, Miami got major contributions from a handful of players and left nothing to chance. It traded baskets through the first quarter, building a 3430 lead and getting the Pacers out of their grind-it-out style, then opened up the second quarter on an 8-2 run to make it 42-32. Indiana couldn’t get closer than seven the rest of the half and when James knocked down a 15-foot jumper with 1.3 seconds left, the Heat had the record. Indiana was a different team to start the second half,

Fans injured at NASCAR race BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CONCORD, N.C. — Charlotte Motor Speedway said 10 fans were injured Sunday at the Coca-Cola 600 and three were taken to the hospital after a nylon rope supporting a FOX Sports overhead television camera fell from the grandstands and landed on the track surface. It’s unclear the extent of the injuries of the three people taken to the hospital. Seven people were treated with “minor cuts and scrapes” on site and released, according to a statement released by CMS. Fox Sports sportscaster Chris Myers apologized to fans and drivers on air on behalf of the network during the race.
The incident occurred on lap 121 of the 400-lap NASCAR Sprint Cup race. The race was delayed for 27 minutes while crews repaired damage to their cars. Kyle Busch, going for a sweep at Charlotte Motor Speedway after winning the Nationwide and Truck series races, was leading when he incurred damage to the right front wheel well of his No. 18 Toyota. Marcos Ambrose and Mark Martin also reported damage. No drivers were injured. The cars were initially brought along pit row as workers cleared the ropes from the track. At first, NASCAR called threw a caution flag before two red flags came out. NASCAR eventually allowed the cars to come into the pits, giving crews 15 minutes to work on their cars.

Miami Heat’s Dwyane Wade puts up a shot against Indiana Pacers’ Roy Hibbert during the first half of Game 3 of the NBA Eastern Conference finals in Indianapolis, Sunday.
Heat 114 Pacers 96 INDIANAPOLIS — LeBron James scored 22 points and the Miami Heat rediscovered their offensive punch, routing the Indiana Pacers 114-96 on Sunday night to take a 2-1 lead in the Eastern Conference finals. James got plenty of help as the Heat reclaimed the homecourt advantage they lost two nights earlier. Dwyane Wade had 18 points, and Udonis Haslem added 17. David West led Indiana with 21 points, and Roy Hibbert had 20 points and 17 rebounds. The Pacers lost for the first time at home in the playoffs this season, dropping to 6-1. Game 4 is Tuesday night in Indianapolis. It was vastly different from the first two games when the Heat couldn’t pull away. Miami used an 8-2 run to open up a 10-point lead in the second quarter led 70-56 at halftime — Miami’s biggest lead in the series. Indiana didn’t get closer than seven the rest of the way. It was a rare letdown from one of the NBA’s top defensive teams.
getting back-to-back 3-pointers and a three-point play from George Hill. Lance Stephenson followed that with 1 of 2 free throws to cut it to 74-67. But Miami countered with a 9-4 run, extended the lead to 91-76 after three and made it 99-78 early in the fourth. Indiana closed to 101-87 midway through the fourth but couldn’t any closer. It was only the third time this season the Pacers lost at home by double digits. Indiana fell 97-75 to Oklahoma City in April and 105-95 in the regular-season finale to Philadelphia when coach Frank Vogel rested four of five starters.

Indiana handed out blue and white Tshirts to create a checkered flag effect in the stands. ... Miami’s Chris Andersen has made 16 consecutive shots in the playoffs. ... Indiana basketball coach Tom Crean, former vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin and San Francisco 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh attended the game. ...

Kanaan captures emotional first Indy 500 BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS INDIANAPOLIS — The hard-luck loser no more, Tony Kanaan finally won the Indianapolis 500 on Sunday — with a bit of luck, at that. In the mix all day during a record 68 lead changes, the popular Brazilian dipped inside defending IndyCar champion Ryan Hunter-Reay on a restart with three laps to go and cruised from there under the yellow caution flag. He flipped up his visor to wipe tears from his eyes as the crowd roared, and then poured the celebratory winner’s milk over his head in Victory Lane. “I have to say, the last lap was the longest lap of my life,” Kanaan said. “I got a little bit of luck today. I was looking at the stands, and it was unbelievable. I’m speechless. This is it, man. I made it. “It means a lot to because so many people, I could feel that they wanted me to win, and it’s such a selfish thing to do because what are they getting from it? I’m the one who gets the trophy. And if you can bring some joy to them and I think the best thing was trying to put an exciting race for them. And I said it before the race, I believed that this win was more for people out there than for me.” Kanaan had his fair share of chances to win at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, but came up short time and time again. He was leading when the rain came in 2007, only to lose to Dario Franchitti when the race resumed. In all, Kanaan went into Sunday’s race with 221 laps led at Indy — more than any
non-winner except Michael Andretti and Rex Mays — but his second-place finish to Buddy Rice in 2004 was the closest he had come to victory. He had a pair of third-place finishes, including last year, again to Franchitti. “I wanted it all my life, but over the years I was kind of OK with the fact that I may never have the chance to win,” Kanaan said. “We can disprove the theory that nice guys don’t win. We proved that wrong.” This time, it was Franchitti whose crash brought out the final caution to seal Kanaan’s victory. “It’s wonderful for him,” said Mario Andretti, himself a victim of bad luck at Indy. “He’s raced here long enough that he deserves it, no question.” The win for Kanaan and car owner Jimmy Vasser was celebrated throughout the paddock. Alex Zanardi, who came from Italy to watch the race and gave Kanaan one of his 2012 London Paralympics medals as good luck, wept behind the pit wall as Kanaan took the checkered flag. “I tell you I’m starting to think (the medal) really works,” said Zanardi, who lost his legs in a 2001 crash in Germany. “It’s a dream come true to see Tony win, to see Jimmy Vasser win, my dear friend. I’m so happy, I’m so happy.” It was Vasser who brought Zanardi’s medal to Kanaan before the race, telling his driver that Zanardi wanted him to rub it for good luck. “I cuddled with it,” Kanaan later admitted. Fellow Brazilian Helio Castroneves, shooting for a record-tying fourth Indy win, was happy for his long-time

Tony Kanaan, of Brazil, pumps his fist in front of Marco Andretti to celebrate after winning the Indianapolis 500 auto race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Indianapolis, Sunday. friend. “Finally he’s able to win this race. He’s so close so many times, but the good news is the good old boys are still able to run fast,” Castroneves said. Carlos Munoz, a 21-year-old rookie making his first IndyCar start, finished second and Hunter-Reay was third. “T.K. is such a fan favourite, absolutely, it’s great to see him win it. If anybody is going to win it in the field, he’s one of the few I’d like to see other than myself,” HunterReay said. “We were leading on that last restart, I knew I
was a sitting duck, and I wasn’t too bummed about it because I knew we had enough laps to get it going again and have a pass back. Maybe I would be third on the last lap, which is where I wanted to be.” Only there wasn’t a last lap as Franchitti brought out the caution seconds after the race went green. “I went into the first corner on the last restart and it just didn’t turn and then hit. The big, old hit,” said Franchitti. “When I saw who was leading, it cheered me up a little bit. He’s a very, very deserving winner.”
The leaders came to the finish line all bunched up around Kanaan, saluting the longtime IndyCar stalwart who had longed to add the final missing piece to his resume. That was about as slow as anyone had driven all day. The average speed was 187.433 mph, another Indy record. Marco Andretti finished fourth, failing to win for the eighth time, and Justin Wilson was fifth in the highest-finishing Honda on a day that was dominated by Chevrolet. Castroneves was sixth. Pole-sitter Ed Carpenter led a race-high 37 laps and finished 10th.
Weekley wins at Colonial, DeLaet stumbles in final round BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS FORT WORTH, Texas — Boo Weekley was at the 13th hole during the final round of the Colonial before he finally glanced at a leaderboard — and saw his name on the top. It was at that par 3 surrounded by an often rowdy crowd that he also heard the loudest “Boo!” in quite some time. Weekley hit his birdie putt from about 22 feet, then swiped his putter in the air as if guiding the ball into the cup. He thrust the club above his head when the ball dropped to get him to 14 under, where he finished Sunday for his first PGA Tour victory in five years. “That’s when I realized, ‘Wow, here I go.’ I need to do something, either hold on to it or try to make a couple of more birdies,” Weekley said. “I knew I was hitting the ball too well just to hold on.” With five consecutive pars after that, Weekly finished at 14-under 266 for a one-stroke victory over Matt Kuchar,

NHL: One game Dustin Brown scored the lone goal for Los Angeles and Jonathan Quick made 24 saves. The Kings have lost 11 of 12 road games but have been unbeatable at home, winning all six playoff games and 13 straight at Staples Center since the end of the regular season. “It’s come down to one game,” forward Mike Richards said. “We’re a confident, comfortable team at home. The fans are loud and behind us. It should be an exciting game.” The Kings tried to end it in San Jose, putting pressure on Niemi early in the final period in search of the equalizer. But they couldn’t break through against a strong forecheck late to the delight of the loud crowd chanting “Beat LA! Beat LA!” from the start of the night. Los Angeles managed just one shot on goal in the final 2:50. “We showed more push than in the past when we kind of sat on the lead a little bit more. I liked it,” defenceman Dan Boyle said. “We talked about it. We always talked about it. We had a little push there and had a few looks in the third.” After taking a 1-0 lead early, the Sharks went more than 15 minutes without a shot before regaining their stride early in the second period. Galiardi beat Quick with a wrist shot from the faceoff circle for his first ca-
the second- and third-round leader who had a closing 68. Defending champion Zach Johnson, who also won at Hogan’s Alley in 2010, shot 66 to finish third at 12 under for his first top-10 finish this season — and fifth straight at Colonial. Graham DeLaet (74) of Weyburn, Sask., tied for 22nd at 6-under par. Both of Weekley’s previous wins had been at Harbour Town, in 2007 and 2008. Like the Heritage winner, the Colonial champion gets a plaid jacket, though the 2008 Ryder Cup team member wasn’t able to compare any differences between them. “I couldn’t tell you, it’s been so long,” said Weekley, who moved up to No. 55 in the world ranking, making him eligible for the U.S. Open. Weekley’s check of just more than $1.1 million matched what he earned his previous 14 tournaments this season while making 12 cuts and finishing in the top 10 three times. He never trailed after consecureer playoff goal to make it 2-0 and San Jose had a chance to break the game open when Justin Williams was sent to the box for a double-minor highsticking penalty. But Quick and the Kings killed off all 4 minutes of power-play time and then got back into the game with just over 6 minutes left in the second when Brown banked a shot from behind the goal line off Niemi and into the net. “Every game has been close,” Kings defenceman Rob Scuderi said. “I’m sure it’s not a shock it’s come to a Game 7. I’m sure both teams didn’t want it to go this far. Right now, it doesn’t matter how we win it, just that we win it.” The Sharks started fast thanks to three early power plays and the desperation of an elimination game to continue the trend in this series of the home team scoring first when they converted on a two-man advantage. With Richards already in the box for tripping Brent Burns, Anze Kopitar shot a puck over the glass for a delay-of-game penalty. San Jose patiently worked the puck around during the 5-on-3 advantage and took the lead when Joe Pavelski slid a pass across the goalmouth to Thornton, who shot it in from the side of the net to end a drought of 102:14 dating to the second period in Game 4. “The 5-on-3 in the first few minutes was big. We’re just trying to slap down the ice but things like that happen,” Scuderi said. “We were trying to limit their start in this building but that got the fans into it early and that hurt us.” The Sharks were lucky that lead held up for the period as they were scrambling after that in part because of an injury that knocked defenceman Justin Braun out for the final 16 minutes of the period. Los Angeles took the last eight shots of the period, with Niemi making two tough saves to rob Trevor Lewis on the power play and also stopping Kyle Clifford on a rebound in close. The Kings also were unlucky, hitting three posts in the period. NOTES: The Kings haven’t allowed more than three goals in 32 straight playoff games, starting with last year’s run to the Stanley Cup. ... Braun returned in the second period. ... F Adam Burish returned for the Sharks for the first time since breaking his right hand in Game 4 of the first round against Vancouver. ... Niemi got an assist on Galiardi’s goal for his first career playoff point. He joins Mike Vernon and Evgeni Nabokov as Sharks goalies to record a point in the playoffs.
tive birdies at Nos. 8-10, those coming about the same time Scott Stallings made double bogey at No. 15 to drop out of the lead. Kuchar, at No. 13 the highest-ranked player in the field, was 12 under after a 55-foot birdie putt at the 436-yard 12th hole. Kuchar punched his right arm into the air to punctuate the shot that got him within a stroke of Weekley for the lead. Johnson was at No. 17, where a 19-footer for his second consecutive birdie also got him to 12 under. Almost as quickly, their one-stroke deficit was back to two after Weekley’s birdie at No. 13. Stallings’ closing 66 put him in a tie for fourth at 11 under, with John Rollins (68) and Matt Every (69). The best round of the day was a 62 by Web.com Tour player Franklin Cor-
pening, a Fort Worth native who grew up at Colonial and played at TCU. He finished at 8 under and tied for 14th, earning an automatic invitation to play next year. Kuchar made an 11-foot birdie putt off the back fringe at No. 2 before a bogey on the next hole when he took two shots from a greenside bunker. Then came a steady stream of pars until rolling in that long putt at No. 12. He didn’t have another birdie until a closing 20-footer for second place alone, his sixth career runner-up finish. “It’s a bummer for me. This is a tournament, and this is a golf course, that I love,” said Kuchar, a five-time PGA Tour winner. “It’s difficult at the moment coming just one shot short but you can’t control what other guys do.”

Red Wings hoping to finish off series at home
MAKING A RUN
NHL PLAYOFFS BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DETROIT — The Detroit Red Wings hope the next time they board a plane, it is headed for California. Even though the Red Wings have already won a Game 7 on the road this post-season, they would rather eliminate the Chicago Blackhawks in Game 6 on Monday night to avoid making another trip in the second-round series. “We’d like to take care of business,” Detroit forward Justin Abdelkader said Sunday. “We’ve just got to play desperate.” Seventh-seeded Detroit leads the series 3-2, putting the Red Wings a win away from advancing to the Western Conference finals for the first time since 2009 to face the winner of the Los Angeles Kings-San Jose Sharks matchup. The NHL’s top-seeded Blackhawks are counting on staving off elimination in Joe Louis Arena and making Game 7 necessary on Wednesday night in the Windy City. With a 4-1 win Saturday night, the Blackhawks extended the series by at least another game. “”It was the biggest game of the year,“ Chicago’s Bryan Bickell said before the team boarded a flight for Detroit. ”We’re just going to take Game 6 the same way.“ Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews ended his 10-game drought without scoring in the playoffs, dating to last year, with a second-period goal that gave Chicago a two-goal lead after it lost the previous three games by a combined score of 9-2. “For sure, I put more pressure on myself,” he acknowledged. “Considering we only scored two goals in three games, you feel like in big-time situations you need to find a way to do something.” Red Wings coach Mike Babcock lamented that his team did nothing well in Game 5, saying the coaching staff and players wasted their first chance to advance against a talented and determined team. “You got to put teams away, they’re not going away,” Babcock said. “It’s not like they got a holiday booked somewhere they got to get to. They’re competing to stay in it. I thought that was evident and it was a real good message for our team. “We got to play harder, more desperate, more organized, more detail-oriented. We weren’t a very good hockey team.” Chicago was the league’s best team from start to finish in the lockout-shortened regular season, beginning with an NHL-record, 24-game point streak and closing with at least five more points than any other team in the league. The Blackhawks opened the playoffs by easily getting past Minnesota in five games and beat Detroit 4-1 in Game 1 to make it look like only a matter of time before they would be in the conference finals for the first time since their 2010 championship season. The young and rebuilding Red Wings, who won at Anaheim in Game 7 in the first round, bounced back with three straight wins — including two games at home — to take control against Chicago. Just when some started to write off the Blackhawks, they dominated Detroit in Game 5 and shifted some stress according to their 21-year-old forward Andrew Shaw. “The pressure is on them to eliminate us,” Shaw said. “They kind of have our backs against the wall and we’re pushing back and that makes us a dangerous team.” Chicago coach Joel Quenneville said his team has seized momentum in the series. “Now, we just want to try to sustain it,” he said. Babcock said he’s sticking with his same lineup for Game 6, insisting there’s “no chance” he’ll insert a previously scratched player onto the ice.

Rampage win pair of road games LACROSSE The Red Deer TBS Rampage were 2-0 on the road in junior B tier 1 lacrosse action during the weekend, downing the Sherwood Park Titans 15-12 and slipping past the St. Albert Crude 8-7. Spencer Lee fired three goals and added two assists at Sherwood Park, while Mitch Vellner
fired a pair of goals and contributed three helpers. Troy Klaus, Dion Daoust and Jayce Grebinski each tallied twice for the Rampage, who got single goals from Kane Weik, Mack Hawthorne, Brandyn Blair and Jordan Hemstad and a 40-save effort from Darrian Banack. On Sunday, Grebinski netted three goals, Lee had a pair and Klaus, Pearce Just and Trey
Christensen also scored against the Crude. Vellner picked up four assists and Chris Amell was the winning netminder. ● In junior B tier 2 play, the Lacoka Locos fell 7-6 to the Red Deer Renegades and defeated the Innisfail Yetti 8-6. ● The Blackfalds Silverbacks were 16-5 winners over the visiting Lethbridge Pioneers in senior C men’s play.
Rosberg keeps his cool to win crash-marred F1’s Monaco GP CAR RACING BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MONACO — Nico Rosberg kept his cool amid the chaos to win the crash-marred Monaco Grand Prix on Sunday and give Mercedes its first victory of the season, as well as emulate his father’s victory from 30 years ago. The German driver began from pole position for the third straight GP, but he had to re-start three times after the race was held up by a safety car, a red flag and the safety car again. Rosberg finished ahead of championship leader Sebastian Vettel and his Red Bull teammate Mark Webber. Lewis Hamilton finished fourth. The red flag came out with about 30 laps to go when Williams driver Pastor Maldonado was nudged into the wall by Marussia’s Max Chilton. Earlier, Ferrari’s Felipe Massa crashed and the safety car came out a second time when Frenchman Romain Grosjean smashed his Lotus into Daniel Ricciardo’s Toro Rosso. The 27-year-old Rosberg danced on the bonnet of his car before jumping off to hug team members. In 1983, the former world champion Keke Rosberg took the checkered flag in Formula One’s showcase race.
Rosberg won his other career GP from pole at the China GP last year and his previous best result this season was fourth in Malaysia. They were useful points for three-time defending champion Vettel, who extended his lead at the top of the standings. Fernando Alonso failed to repeat his Spanish GP win from two weeks ago and could only manage seventh place, while Kimi Raikkonen finished way down in 10th after being barged by McLaren’s Sergio Perez late on. Rosberg’s driving was slick, but the crashes will dominate the headlines as Monaco again confirmed it is one of the most difficult tracks in F1. Chilton lost control and moved across into Maldonado on his side, sending the Venezuelan off the wall and into the crash barriers. Chilton’s teammate Jules Bianchi was dragged into the crash but no driver was hurt. Massa, meanwhile, ploughed into the wall and slid across the track in a carbon-copy of his crash in Saturday’s third practice. He sat with his head in his hands and his neck in a brace as he received some medical treatment. It was eventful off the track, too. A little more than one hour before the race, Red Bull launched an official protest against Mercedes. Red Bull team principal Christian Horner demanded clarity as to why Mercedes was allowed to conduct in-season tire testing following the Spanish GP two weeks ago.
Harvick beats Kahne on final restart to win Coca Cola 600 BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CONCORD, N.C. — Kevin Harvick isn’t done surprising people at Charlotte Motor Speedway or Richard Childress Racing. Closing a bizarre night in NASCAR’s longest event, Harvick pulled away from Kasey Kahne on a restart Sunday with 11 laps left to win the Coca-Cola 600 for the second time in three seasons to The race was stopped nearly 30 minutes at one point when a TV camera support rope snapped and landed on the track and in the grandstands. There were 10 people hurt, according to Charlotte Motor Speedway. Three were taken to hospitals, and have been treated and released. It’s Harvick’s final season at RCR — the only team he’s known since filling the seat of the late Dale Earnhardt in 2001 — before he swifts to StewartHaas Racing in 2014. Harvick’s already shown with a victory at Richmond this year he wouldn’t coast through the year and proved that again as he made it through the broken rope, several crashes and Kahne’s dominant machine that led a race-high 156 laps. There was no other course for Harvick than giving his all, saying he and Childress “have really focused on what’s most important for our sponsors and the guys on this team and this organization.” Harvick’s pulled off an unlikely win here in 2011, sweeping past an out-offuel Dale Earnhardt Jr. on the final lap. “Last race (2011) we came off turn two in third and by the time we got to the start-finish line we had won the

Kevin Harvick does a burnout after winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series CocaCola 600 auto race at the Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord, N.C., Sunday. race,” he said. “It was one of those nights,” he said, “where you have to grind it out and keep yourself on the lead lap.” Especially when you don’t know what you’ll face. The race stopped suddenly a little over a quarter of the way into the long event after the nylon rope snapped in the first turn. The cars were brought into the pits and cleanup crews coiled up the long sections of rope as if they were putting away a garden hose. Drivers were allowed back to their pit stalls and crews given 15 minutes to
assess and fix damage caused by the failure. Harvick couldn’t believe he’d seen the cable along the track and did his best to avoid problems. And Harvick wasn’t the only one surprised. “I came off turn four,” Kahne said, “and I saw it wrapped around Kyle’s car and it hit mine and I thought I had to be seeing things because there’s no way there could be a cable on the race track.” Kahne finished second, Kurt Busch third and polesitter Denny Hamlin was fourth in his second full race since returning from injury.
Harvick’s win was almost as big a surprise as it was in 2011 when the crowd anticipated Earnhardt ending what was then a long, long victory drought. Kahne had the strongest car, quickly moving back to the front each time he fell back. He had a large lead and lots of open track when the final caution flag came out with 16 laps remaining. But Kahne remained on the track while Harvick pitted for two fresh tires. On the restart, Harvick quickly took control and Kahne couldn’t catch up. Ryan Newman was sixth followed by Tony Steward, Clint Bowyer, Martin Truex Jr. and Marcos Ambrose. Harvick’s victory ended a long, strange day of racing in the biggest motorsports’ weekend. Tony Kanaan took a crowd-pleasing win at the Indianapolis 500 before one of NASCAR’s showcase events was marred by the rope problems. Childress said he texted Chevrolet’s vice-president of motorsports, Jim Campbell, to congratulate him on Kanaan’s win in Indy. “I texted him back and said, ’We’ll win for you tonight.’ We kept our word,” Childress said. Kyle Busch might want to look into why he can’t seem to win a Sprint Cup race in Charlotte. He entered a favourite after winning the Truck Series event last week and powering to a Nationwide victory Saturday. He was in the lead, though, when the nylon guide rope snapped and ran smack over it. Busch heard a “thunk” and knew he had problems. “It did have an effect of slowing my car down and I could feel it like, ’Whoa,”’ he said.

Williams ousted in French Open opener BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PARIS — Grimacing after some poor shots, leaning forward with hands on knees while catching her breath after others, Venus Williams left the French Open after the first round for the first time since 2001. Williams, a seven-time Grand Slam champion and former No. 1-ranked player seeded 30th at Roland Garros, felt hampered by a bad back, had problems with her serve — all sorts of strokes, actually — and lost 7-6 (5), 6-7 (4), 6-4 Sunday to 40th-ranked Urszula Radwanska of Poland, who never has been past the second round of a major tournament. Inflammation in her lower back limited Williams to two matches over the previous 1 ½ months, preparation she called, with a chuckle, “extremely unideal.” “I can’t really serve very hard. It’s painful when I do that. But I’m getting better. I just, you know, ran out of time to get better for this tournament,” said Williams, broken 11 of the 17 times she served Sunday. “My strategy was more or less to put the ball in, and that’s very difficult for me, too, because that’s not who I am. But that’s all I had.” Her quick exit came a year after she lost in the second round at Roland Garros to Radwanska’s older sister, Agnieszka, the 2012 Wimbledon runner-up. “Yeah, of course, I was talking with Aga about Venus,” Urszula said. “I was wellprepared for this match, and I knew she was a great fighter, so I should be focused the whole match.” Williams, naturally, also knows a thing or two about having a more successful tennis-playing sibling, and her short stay in Paris comes a year after younger sister Serena, who owns 15 Grand Slam titles, was upset in the first round at Roland Garros. Serena made a fluent return to the

Switzerland’s Roger Federer returns the ball to Spain’s Pablo Carreno Busta during their first round match of the French Open tennis tournament at the Roland Garros stadium Sunday, in Paris. clay-court tournament in the early afternoon Sunday, overwhelming 74th-ranked Anna Tatishvili 6-0, 6-1 — and then addressing an appreciative audience at Court Philippe Chatrier in the local language. Magnifique! “I have been speaking French for years and years, but I don’t really have a lot of confidence,” Serena said later, in English. “It’s way, way more nerve-racking than playing tennis.” On this day, for her, absolutely. With shadows creeping across the court in the early evening, Venus had a much tougher time against Urszula, who is far-less-accomplished than Agnieszka, the French Open’s fourth seed. Truth be told, this result really was not nearly as stunning as Serena’s French Open loss
to 111th-ranked Virginie Razzano (who also won Sunday) in 2012. That remains Serena’s only first-round departure in 51 appearances at Grand Slams, and she rebounded by winning Wimbledon, the U.S. Open and the London Olympics. Venus, 32 and still learning to live with an energysapping autoimmune disease, now has two first-round losses in the past four Grand Slam tournaments. Her defeat at Wimbledon last June was the first time she’d left a major championship that early since she lost in the first round of the Australian Open 6 ½ years earlier. “With what I’ve gone through, it’s not easy. But I’m strong and I’m a fighter. You know, I don’t think I’m just playing for me now. I think I’m playing for a lot of people who
haven’t felt well,” Venus said. “I think for me today it’s a positive to be able to play three hours. I’m constantly finding ways to get better and to feel better.” The only other seeded player to lose on Day 1 was No. 11 Nadia Petrova of Russia, who was defeated by Monica Puig of Puerto Rico 3-6, 7-5, 6-4. Otherwise, results went to form, with 17-time major champion Roger Federer picking up a 6-2, 6-2, 6-3 victory over a guy making his Grand Slam debut, Pablo Carreno Busta of Spain, while No. 4 David Ferrer, No. 14 Milos Raonic of Canada and No. 18 Sam Querrey of the United Sates also were among the winners. In an intriguing encounter filled with momentum swings, No. 15 Gilles Simon of France overcame a two-set deficit for the first time in his career to
edge two-time major champion Lleyton Hewitt 3-6, 1-6, 6-4, 6-1, 7-5. The 32-year-old Hewitt, who won the U.S. Open in 2001 and Wimbledon in 2002, was asked Sunday whether he’ll be back at the French Open and replied: “Don’t know. Haven’t even thought about it.” A similar question was put to Venus, who sounded bothered by the topic. “If it’s the last match, I’ll let you know,” she answered. “That’s pretty much how it works.” The Williams sisters completely changed the way women’s tennis was played in the late 1990s and early 2000s, with 120 mph serves, stinging forehands and fantastic court coverage. They faced each other in eight Grand Slam finals, including the 2002 French Open, which Serena won. Neither Williams has enjoyed much success in Paris after that championship match, where the clay tends to dull the strength of their swings and the footing can give them problems. Venus hasn’t been past the quarterfinals since 2002, while Serena hasn’t since 2003. “I just keep trying, and it hasn’t been working out for me,” Serena, who is ranked and seeded No. 1, said after stretching her career-best winning streak to 25 matches. “I may have gotten nervous in the past or may have basically choked a few matches away.” She won the first nine games against Tatishvili, and 30 of the first 37 points. On her serve, the final count was 28 of 33 points, bolstered by eight aces. “I’ve played a lot of players who have very good serves, but hers is consistently good, so you always feel pressure when you’re returning,” Tatishvili said. “I wasn’t really surprised, because I’ve watched her so much, you know? It’s Serena Williams; you watch her always on TV or at tournaments. But it’s the first time I felt what I had seen.”
Raonic cruises into second round at French Open BY THE CANADIAN PRESS PARIS — Canadian Milos Raonic passed his first test at Roland Garros, powering into the second round of the French Open with a victory over Xavier Malisse on Sunday. The hard-serving 22-year-old from Thornhill, Ont., beat Belgium’s Malisse 6-2, 6-1, 4-6, 6-4 in the match that was decided in just under two hours. The 14th-seeded Raonic, who reached the third round a year ago, missed on a chance to serve it out leading 5-2 in the fourth set, but quickly won the match on his next chance as he finished with a 16th ace.
Raonic roared out to a fast start, winning the first two sets in just 44 minutes combined. “I had my chances early on,” he said. “I had a lot of deuce games and two break chances at the end. But I felt like I just let the grip go a little bit. He got into it (in the third set), he was playing well. “I was settling a little bit too much in the rally points hitting backhands, whereas the first two sets I was trying really to find my forehand as much as I could.” Raonic converted on six of his nine break chances against the 54th-ranked Malisse and fired 61 winners. The Canadian, who improved his French Open record to 3-2 with the win, awaits the winner of the
Perry collapse opens door for Idoki to win Senior PGA Championship CANADIANS RUTLEDGE AND SPITTLE FINISH SIXTH
ST. LOUIS — Kohki Idoki erased a five-stroke deficit against a fading Kenny Perry with room to spare, charging to a two-stroke victory Sunday in the Senior PGA Championship. It was the third bitter final-round major tournament failure for the 52-year-old Perry, who led by three strokes with six holes to play but settled for a second-place tie with Jay Haas. The 51-year-old Idoki closed with a 6-under 65 to finish at 11 under at Bellerive Country Club and win $385,000 and become the first player to win the tournament on his first attempt since Michael Allen in 2009. Idoki got a beer shower from fellow Japanese players Joe Osaki and Kiyoshi Murota after finishing ahead of Perry’s final group. Perry shot a 72, and Haas had a 70. Perry squandered a two-stroke lead with two holes to go in the 2009 Masters and also let victory slip away in the 1996 PGA. Mark O’Meara was fourth, three strokes back after 65 including an eagle on No. 17. Murota was another shot behind after a 67. Perry staggered to the finish line, beginning with a double bogey on No. 13 that dropped him into a tie with Idoki. Another bogey on No. 16 dropped him out of the lead he held or shared since the end of
GOLF the second round and he bogeyed No. 17 after shooting sideways out of deep rough in trees on No. 17. Perry lost his lead three-putting from the fringe up against the edge of the rough on No. 13, running it past the cup from about 3 feet before holing out to put him at even par for the day. He arched his back in disappointment after leaving a long birdie putt
just short on No. 14. Idoki climbed into contention with four birdies and no bogeys on the front nine, and added two more birdies in a flawless finish. Jim Rutledge closed with a 64 for the best round of the tournament. He tied for sixth with fellow Canadian Rod Spittle, Russ Cochran, Kirk Triplett and Duffy Waldorf. Rutledge had seven birdies, five on the front nine, with no bogeys and no long putts to save par.

match between France’s Michael Llodra and Steve Darcis of Belgium. Ivan Ljubicic was among the spectators for Sunday’s win. The Croatian coach is working with Raonic “as a friend” on a trial basis through Paris after the player split this month with Spaniard Galo Blanco, Raonic’s coach since late 2010. Temperatures hovered around a chilly 10 C. “It’s better than the last few days, for sure, but it’s pretty cold compared to the conditions I have played in the clay court season until now,” Raonic said. Eugenie Bouchard of Westmount, Que., Jesse Levine of Ottawa, and Vancouver’s Vasek Pospisil all begin their French Open campaigns on Tuesday.

Local sea cadets relive naval history LEARN ABOUT SACRIFICE OF CANADIAN SOLDIERS BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF The dedication and sacrifice of Canadian soldiers are fresh in the minds of two Central Alberta sea cadets who visited historical Canadian naval sites abroad as part of the Sea Cadet Pilgrimage program to France and Ireland. Earlier this month, petty officer first class Duncan Sheedy, 17, of Red Deer, went on the Battle of the Atlantic Pilgrimage held in Derry, Ireland. Last April, chief petty officer second class Roby Czynski, 18, of Bluffton, attended the Sea Cadet Pilgrimage to Vimy, France. They were the first two cadets from 126 Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Corp Red Deer to participate in the week-long pilgrimages. Branch president Miriam Thompson said the local league would like to send more than one cadet a year, but it all comes down to what the league can afford. Sheedy participated in the Battle of the Atlantic anniversary ceremony with Irish cadets, toured military museums and learned more about the role of the Canadian Navy in the Second

It gives them a chance to rub shoulders with cadets from elsewhere. It gives them an opportunity to get a feel of history in a real way, not just a textbook,” said Miriam Thompson on Saturday at the cadet’s annual awards ceremony at Cormack Armoury. The Battle of the Atlantic, September 1939 to May 1945, was Canada’s longest military engagement of the Second World War. Merchant ships escorted by the Royal Canadian Navy and the Royal
Canadian Air Force delivered supplies to the allied forces. During the Vimy Pilgrimage, Czynski visited museums and cemeteries and participated in a ceremony at Vimy Ridge. Thompson said cadets at that pilgrimage participated in a moving exercise on Juno Beach where each cadet was assigned a colour. “When your colour is called, you fall. They got to see how many people fell and how many people made it across the beach. “It gives a real sense of what occurred there,” Thompson said.
Czynski said her respect for veterans, and those who are currently serving, has deepened by visiting the vast cemeteries of fallen soldiers. “You read the numbers on the page, and it’s a lot of people. “You go and see the cemeteries, it really brings it home,” Czynski said. “It was a real honour and a privilege and it was very, very cool to go over there.” In order to have the chance to participate, Sheedy and Czynski, wrote essays on why they wanted to join the pilgrimages.
Sheedy wrote about the roles of both Canada and Ireland in the Battle of the Atlantic and said his trip broadened his knowledge of the war and gave him the opportunity to go to a country he has wanted to visit. Red Deer cadets raised about $3,800 for Czynski to go to Vimy. Sheedy’s pilgrimage was sponsored by Calfrac Well Services, of Red Deer, and BlackFeather Controls, of Spruce Grove. About 30 cadets are members of the Red Deer sea cadet program. szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com

When it comes to summer barbecues, one allergy expert says it’s wise to ask guests about food sensitivities long before you fire up the grill. “Have that conversation with them before they come about what options would be good for them, what alternative choices might be good for them,� says Marilyn Allen, a food allergy and anaphylaxis consultant. “The goal would be to either avoid those allergens in your menu, in your recipes, or to make a separate plate or separate serving for the person who’s allergic.� Anaphylaxis is a potentially life-threatening allergic reaction that can take place within seconds or minutes after exposure to an allergen. Allen’s daughter Robyn died at age 15 in 1990 when she ingested a microscopic amount of peanut butter that was transferred from a knife to the butter that Robyn later spread on bread. Since then, Allen has lobbied Health Canada to change food labelling and helped author a new training manual called “Allergy Training Basics for the Foodservice and Food Retail Industry,� published and distributed by Anaphylaxis Canada and TrainCan Inc. Last August, new rules came into effect requiring manufacturers to clearly identify the presence of ingredients that could cause an allergic reaction. Health Canada lists 10 priority food allergens in the regulations, including peanuts, eggs, milk, mustard, tree nuts, wheat, soy, sesame, seafood (fish, crustaceans, shellfish) and sulphites (a food additive). “There’s complications in so many things, what I call the hidden trap, that really have to be looked at,� Allen said from her home in Pefferlaw, Ont. Mustard seeds found in relish, spices, prepared mustard and marinades can be a problem for those with allergies, for example. Soy sauce can include wheat while ketchup may contain barley, which can affect those with a wheat allergy. A traditional potato salad, meanwhile, could include eggs, mustard, mayonnaise (milk and eggs) or sour cream (milk) used by some to thin mayonnaise. Desserts can contain tree nuts, peanuts, soy, milk and egg.
“I always make a full master ingredient list,� Allen says. “Sometimes I just keep the labels of prepackaged foods, but I do keep those lists, and then I make little individual signs with the ingredients and I set it in front of each plate so that my allergic guests can make a safe choice and there’s no fuss or bother.� Be prepared for a quick response, she adds. Epinephrine is easily administered with an auto injector. Then call 911. It might be necessary to inject a second time within five to 15 minutes because two doses may be needed if the reaction continues or worsens. Here are her suggestions for an allergy-safe menu for a summer barbecue: � A green salad can be dressed with balsamic vinaigrette or a little honey canola

TORONTO — Health Canada and drug maker GlaxoSmithKline have issued a warning that an experimental drug abandoned because it caused cancers in animal studies is being marketed to athletes as a performance-enhancing drug. Development was stopped before the drug was even given a name and it is identified only as GW501516. GSK was developing the drug to raise HDL, or good cholesterol, levels but dropped the project in 2006 when studies showed it caused a number of toxic effects, including a variety of cancers, in rats and mice. The statement says it’s not known what long-term use of the drug would do to people. Health Canada says the drug is not approved for human use and was never made or distributed by GSK. It notes that it isn’t known whether the product being sold online as GW501516 is actually the drug or another compound being sold under that name. The drug has been on the World Anti-Doping Agency’s prohibited list for several years. In March, the Montreal-based agency revealed some athletes had tested positive for use of the drug. And they took the unusual step of warning doping athletes that they need to steer clear of this drug for safety reasons. “The side-effect of this chemical compound is so serious that WADA is taking the rare step of warning ’cheats’ to ensure that there is complete awareness of the possible health risks to athletes who succumb to the temptation of using GW501516 for performance enhancement,� the agency said.

Nuclear progress sought PART OF TOKYO’S ’ECONOMIC DIPLOMACY’ WITH INDIA BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS TOKYO — Japan and India will work toward an agreement on nuclear energy cooperation during a visit this week by Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, as Tokyo tries to boost exports of atomic technology and other infrastructure to help revive the economy. “I do hope that we can make progress in civil nuclear energy co-operation,” Kyodo News Service quoted Singh as telling reporters in New Delhi on Saturday. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is eager to promote sales of Japanese nuclear technology as part of Japan’s push to expand exports, especially in emerging markets in Asia and the Middle East that offer stronger growth potential than at home, without the political tensions that plague Tokyo’s dealings with mainland China. Earlier this month, Japan and India signed a set of agreements on economic cooperation and investment, including multibillion-dollar plans for industrial corri-
dors between New Delhi and Mumbai, and between Chennai and Bangalore. The two sides are also expected to discuss closer military ties. Singh originally had planned his visit for late last year. He postponed it due to a parliamentary election in December that returned Abe’s Liberal Democratic Party to power. The Indian prime minister arrives in Tokyo on Monday and departs Thursday. Despite both sides’ hopes for closer ties, trade between Japan and India has not yet taken off. Japan’s exports to India fell nearly 5 per cent in the fiscal year that ended in March to 842.1 billion yen ($8.25 billion) — onethirteenth of the amount Japan shipped to China — while imports rose 4.5 per cent from a year earlier to 579.1 billion yen ($5.7 billion), according to Japanese figures. But with India due to invest about $1 trillion in infrastructure in 2012-2017, Singh said he sees an “enormous role” for Japanese industry in helping build up his country’s manufacturing sector.
Highlighting that focus, Singh is due to address Japan’s powerful Keidanran business group during his stay in Tokyo, said India’s foreign secretary, Ranjan Mathai. He said the two sides would also discuss possible exports of Japan’s high-speed rail technology. Japan’s sales to India of nuclear equipment and technology have been hampered by sensitivity in Japan over India’s past atomic tests and refusal to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. India has announced a moratorium on further nuclear testing, but Japan also wants a clearer commitment from New Delhi. The two sides are also working to decide on consequences should India conduct another nuclear test. Discussions with Japan on nuclear technology are only at the “very preliminary stage,” Mathai said, adding that India hopes to see progress on an agreement later in the year.

Ford pickups investigated The federal government is investigating Ford F-150 pickups with EcoBoost engines after drivers reported that the engines lost power during acceleration. The government estimates around 400,000 F-150 pickups from the 2011 through 2013 model years are involved. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has received 95 reports of engines losing power during hard acceleration, such as when passing. The incidents often occurred in rainy or humid weather. NHTSA has no reports of crashes or injuries.
Carney will hold last interest rate meeting The Bank of Canada’s latest rate announcement, along with a number of other key economic indicators, will be front and centre this week for the Toronto and U.S. markets. Bank governor Mark Carney is widely expected to keep the central bank’s trend-setting rate at one per cent, but Danielle Park, president and portfolio manager with Venable Park Investment Counsel, said investors will look for hints on when a rate cut or hike may come. “I think he’s going to acknowledge that the Canadian data continues to disappoint. I think he’s going to want to sort of back out of expectations that they may be hiking in the not too distance future,” Park said. “I think they’re definitely on hold mode at this point and, if anything, they may signal that there might be a willingness to cut rates at some stage if the global trend continues this way.” Carney will be replaced by outgoing Export Development head Stephen Poloz. — Advocate staff, The Canadian Press and The Associated Press

BERLIN — German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Sunday she would use her country’s economic clout to prevent the European Union from imposing punitive tariffs on some Chinese products to avoid a trade war. Germany will push for “very intense talks” between the EU and China to seek a negotiated solution as swiftly as possible, the leader of Europe’s biggest economy told visiting Chinese Premier Li Keqiang. The EU Commission, the 27-nation bloc’s executive arm, accuses China of pricing its solar panels and some mobile telecom devices too cheaply, thereby flooding the European market, distorting competition and hurting European manufacturers. Brussels has therefore proposed imposing an average 47 per cent special duty on Chinese solar panels, and it is continuing to look into the telecommunication sector. Li sharply criticized the EU’s approach, saying through a translator that “it sends a wrong signal because we want to fight protectionism together.” “We strongly oppose this decision,” he insisted, referring to the proposed solar panel tariffs. “We hope that the EU won’t use protectionist trade measures for such small a cause,” he said. The EU, the world’s largest economy, is China’s second-biggest business partner after the U.S., with a trade volume of about 430 billion euros in 2012. The solar panel exports stand for about 7 per cent of China’s total exports to the EU. The EU Commission is expected to make a decision on the anti-dumping investigation after consulting all interested parties by the end of the year. “Germany will work for this to be resolved as quickly as possible because we don’t believe (tariffs) would help us very much,” said Merkel. “And that’s why we should very intensely use the next six months, and Germany will do everything to ensure that the talks will really advance,” she added. Li thanked Merkel, adding that China also hopes that talks between Beijing and Brussels will be able to avoid a trade standoff and yield “an amicable solution.” Germany was the only stop in an EU member nation on Li’s inaugural trip abroad, in a sign that China seeks Berlin’s clout to influence the EU’s at times cumbersome decision making progress.

Women not satisfied with financial services
TALBOT BOGGS
MONEYWISE
Even though they are becoming more successful and controlling a larger portion of the world’s wealth, women are not being well served by the financial services industry and generally feel that their unique financial needs and preferences are not being taken seriously or properly addressed. Is the industry doing a good job servicing the needs of women? “The short answer is no. We
don’t do a good job,” said Richard Mills, co-head and executive vicepresident and managing director of BMO Nesbitt Burns. A study by Nesbitt Burns determined that only about 30 per cent of women are satisfied with the service they’re getting from the financial services business and almost 40 per cent feel that their needs are not being taken seriously. And another study by the Boston Consulting Group found the
financial services industry was the worst at servicing the needs of women. “Those are pretty damning numbers,” Mills said during a recent BMO panel discussion on women and wealth. “Clearly that’s something we have to fix because it’s the right thing to do and because there’s an opportunity there.

STORIES FROM PG C3
FUTURE: Women to be a growth force “I believe women will emerge over the next couple of decades with a similar force to the growth we experienced in the investment industry in ‘80s and ‘90s with the baby boom generation as they came into their high-savings years. It’s something we’re going to have to pay attention to.” Women today control 27 per cent of the world’s wealth, about $20 trillion in assets, and one third of all the wealth in North America, a figure that is increasing by about eight per cent a year. Women increasingly are acting as the chief financial officer of the family, with 40 per cent of women today handle the daily spending and budgeting in their households, versus 16 per cent of men. “There is a tremendous opportunity to do a better job addressing the unique needs of women investors,” Mills said. “We need to recognize the fact that women tend to make investment decisions differently than men do and they often act as CFO of their households and have a key role when it comes to managing the finances.” Women typically have different financial needs and approaches to investing than men. “Female investors tend to be more conservative and risk averse,” said Viki Lazaris, president and CEO of BMO InvestorLine. “They often seek out advice, prefer a more collaborative relationship and are more open to assistance.” According to a BMO study, only 16 per cent of women consider themselves aggressive investors, compared to 30 per cent of men; and just 13 per cent of women think they are impulsive investors, compared to 21 per cent of men. And whereas 47 per cent of men feel they are knowledgeable investors, only 33 per cent of women say they are. “Another difference we see is that, although women may be better generally at managing their debt — our research has shown that they have lower debt levels — women will be much more cautious in planning and approaching their debt position and how they manage that, compared to men,” Lazaris said. It appears women are becoming more confident with online investing. In the last 10 years, the percentage of female clients of BMO’s InvestorLine has increased to 40 per cent from 14 per cent. They are checking their accounts more often, trading more and their assets are increasing. “Gone are the days when the banks marketed almost exclusively to men, who controlled the most important decisions,” said Betsy Chung, vicepresident and head of marketing and client strategy with BMO Private Client Group. “Today’s modern women have become more independent and affluent, so it’s more important than ever for the financial services industry to communicate to women differently. While the industry has come a long way, there is still plenty of opportunity.” Talbot Boggs is a Toronto-based business communications professional who has worked with national news organizations, magazines and corporations in the finance, retail, manufacturing and other industrial sectors.
JAPAN: Plants stalled at home Japan’s nuclear power plants are mostly stalled at home due to safety concerns following the March 2011 disaster in Fukushima. So big companies like Hitachi Ltd., Toshiba Corp. and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries are desperate to offset lost business at home through sales overseas. It’s a lucrative prospect, given the dozens of nuclear reactors due to be constructed worldwide in coming years. The pro-nuclear Liberal Democrats also contend that Japan should restart reactors closed down for tightened safety checks to help keep the industry internationally competitive. Japan’s first nuclear export deal since the March 2011 disaster at the
Fukushima Dai-ichi plant came during a visit by Abe to Turkey, which chose a Japanese-French partnership to build a nuclear reactor on its Black Sea coast. The two sides also signed a nuclear co-operation agreement, as Abe reassured his hosts that Japan has learned from the disaster and is offering technology with the highest safety standards. During that overseas tour, Abe also signed nuclear agreements with the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia. He is also aiming at nuclear exports to Eastern Europe, with local reports saying he plans to visit Hungary, Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia in June.
CHINA: World’s largest exporter of solar panels Li, who took office in March, at one point even said during the news conference with Merkel that he was aware that Germany cannot replace the EU Commission. China is the world’s largest producer of solar panels, exporting more than half of its output to Europe, totalling 21 billion euros in 2011. The global solar panel market is suffering from overcapacity, which has led to stiff competition that has forced several European manufacturers out of business. Still, Germany’s powerful industrial lobby groups oppose the discussed EU anti-dumping measures against China because they fear an escalating trade war that would dent the countries’ buoying business ties. Li said the EU’s decision wouldn’t serve its interests and would harm China and others. “It will put the (solar) sector’s development in Europe in danger, harm the interest of the European companies, the European consumers and the European industry,” he said. China rejects the EU’s price-dumping allegations, but the problem is no novelty for Beijing. The U.S. last year imposed punitive tariffs on solar panel imports after finding that China’s government was subsidizing companies that were flooding the U.S. market. Following Li’s arrival at Berlin’s Chancellery, he and Merkel met with students from both countries before overseeing the signing of a series of economic co-operation agreements. They also held closed-door talks and were set to have a dinner at a government guest house outside the capital later Sunday. As part of his trip, Li visited Switzerland on Friday. In Zurich, he signed China’s first free-trade agreement with a major Western economy. It had been negotiated for several years. . On Monday, he will meet other officials and business leaders in Berlin. He also is scheduled to meet Merkel’s challenger in September’s national elections, the Social Democrats’ candidate Peer Steinbrueck.
NOTES: Other complaints The Bank of Canada initially withheld all of the public correspondence about the new polymer bank notes, citing privacy concerns, but recently released a package of material after an investigation by the information commissioner of Canada. In dozens of e-mails and telephone calls, people complained about other aspects of the plastic notes, such as: ● the new bills generally exclude images of women, whereas the old bills celebrated women’s-rights pioneers and others; ● the notes stick to one another, making them hard to count. The bank says that’s normal for all brand-new bills and will disappear as the currency gets handled; ● the stylized maple leaf on the currency represents a Norway Maple, a foreign invasive species. The bank categorically rejects that claim; ● the bills are prone to melting when exposed to high heat, such as in a clothes dryer. The bank says its extensive, rigorous testing disproves that.

Myanmar President Thein Sein, right, and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe attend a signing ceremony at Presidential Palace Sunday, in Naypyitaw, Myanmar. Abe arrived in Myanmar on the first visit to the country by a Japanese leader in 36 years, as Tokyo bids to reassert its position as a top economic partner after decades of frosty relations with the previous military regime.
Tokyo looks to reassert itself in Myanmar GIVES MYANMAR $504M LOAN, CANCELS REMAINING DEBT BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS YANGON, Myanmar — Japan’s government on Sunday extended its first loan to Myanmar in 26 years and cancelled the remainder of the Southeast Asian country’s debt, as Tokyo looks to re-establish strong economic ties with the former pariah nation. The 51 billion yen ($504 million) loan agreement was signed in Myanmar’s capital, Naypyitaw, after Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe met with Myanmar President Thein Sein. Abe arrived in Myanmar on Friday on the first visit to the country by a Japanese leader in 36 years, a major part of Tokyo’s effort to reassert its position as a top economic partner after decades of frosty relations with the previous military regime. Abe had met with Myanmar democracy icon and lawmaker Aung San Suu Kyi in the main city of Yangon on Saturday. The low-interest loan was signed between Japan’s ambassador to Myanmar, Mikio Numata, and Myanmar’s deputy minister for finance and revenue, Dr. Lin Aung, Japan’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement. Japan also cancelled the remaining 176.1 billion yen ($1.74 billion) owed by Myanmar, after forgiving 326.3 billion Yen ($3.58 billion) in debt in January. The loan is Japan’s first to Myanmar since 1987. “The government of Japan considers it important to continue to back up the progress of Myanmar’s reforms and will continue its support to Myanmar,” the Foreign Ministry’s statement said. According to the notes exchanged Sunday, 17 billion yen ($168 million) is to be used for infrastructure improvement in Myanmar, 14 billion yen ($138 million) for electricity generation, and 20 billion yen ($198 million) for power generation and transmission and distribution of energy at a special economic zone.
The development of the 2,400-hectare (5,900-acre) Thilawa Special Economic Zone, located near Yangon, is Japan’s biggest investment project in Myanmar, led by trading companies Mitsubishi Corp., Marubeni Corp. and Sumitomo Corp. Japan, Myanmar’s largest aid donor, helped clear part of its unpaid debt in an effort to boost Myanmar’s democratic reforms and open ways to resume fresh loans for infrastructure building and major development assistance that will support Japanese business interests in the Southeast Asian nation. Japan had close ties with Myanmar before the junta took power in 1988, prompting Tokyo to suspend grants for major projects. Although it scaled back most business activity and cut government aid when the U.S. and other Western nations imposed sanctions in 2003 after the military regime put Suu Kyi under house arrest, Japan did not impose sanctions on Myanmar. But with no major development grants or Japanese loans, major Japanese corporations maintained branch offices in Myanmar with minimal business operations during the previous regime, while neighbouring China gradually became Myanmar’s major trade partner and investor after Thailand and Singapore. Japan’s investments and involvement lag far behind those of China and India, but that is fast changing. A high-powered delegation of business leaders, including top executives from Toyota Motor Corp., Hitachi Ltd. and Sumitomo Chemical, toured Myanmar, also known as Burma, in February and pledged to co-operate in encouraging more investment. As of late February, Japan was the 11th-largest investor in Myanmar, with $270 million in overall investments, way behind the $14.2 billion committed by China and $9.6 billion by Thailand, the top two sources, with 33 per cent and 23 per cent, respectively, of total foreign direct investment.

The program “is the type of visionary thinking we need from our leaders,” said Jamie Dimon, chairman and CEO of JPMorgan Chase & Co., who is supporting Cuomo’s effort and whose company has donated to Cuomo’s campaign. Others say New York, dragged down by its politics and the political influence of business and labour, is still a step behind. Chief Executive magazine, which provided the survey ranking New York so low among CEOs, points to other states that are instead cutting or eliminating broad-based taxes and expenses for all employers, not just a few.

ALBANY, N.Y. — Through much of the last century, New York built America’s locomotives, automobile parts, steel girders and more through three shifts a day. Today, the Empire State is next to last on CEOs’ list of states to set up shop. The decline came over more than four decades of economic erosion for much of the state outside New York City’s nearly unshakable economy. The state played a high-stakes game of offering tax breaks, but it yielded more political scandal than economic turnaround. Now, Gov. Andrew Cuomo wants to go all in. He’s proposing a new way to lure high-tech companies and entrepreneurs by waiving all business and property taxes and even state income taxes for all their employees for up to 10 years if they move to New York and partner with a college campus. As the governor touts the tax-free pitch as a major upstate economic development plan, policy experts say it’s a unique approach but warn it could backfire and actually hamstring the state’s economy. Either way, other states are watching closely. “This is exactly the kind of thinking that makes New York score so poorly in our tax index,” said Scott Drenkard, an economist with the Washington, D.C.-based Tax Foundation, a nonpartisan, national tax research association. “The bread and butter of a good tax policy is its broad-based taxes. That means you don’t have giveaways to certain businesses. Instead, you operate on
a level playing field.” Cuomo spent much of last week barnstorming around the state to pitch his biggest and most aggressive attempt to turn around what for decades has been dubbed the “upstate problem:” young New Yorkers fleeing for jobs elsewhere. Cuomo said his proposal will supercharge job creation. But his plan also raised broad concerns. Academics fear a commercialization of higher education, while business leaders say the proposal makes second-class citizens out of the businesses that stuck around and paid taxes through hard times. Under the plan, people who already live in New York would foot the bill for services for new companies that will enjoy no taxes for 10 years. There’s also no guarantee the new companies, some of which will be highly mobile startups, will stay after the 10 years. And even if Cuomo wins two more terms, he’ll be long gone by then. “It’s a risk you run,” said Brian Sampson of the Unshackle Upstate business group, which support Cuomo’s proposal. Cuomo, however, is also being credited for trying something bold.

Carrie Underwood rocks with the Rolling Stones BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Celebrating a half-century of music, the Rolling Stones defied their age with an energetic, lengthy performance at a roaring Air Canada Centre led by the frenetic antics of nearly 70-year-old frontman Mick Jagger. Over the course of a roughly two-hour, 15-minute performance, Jagger swivelled his hips furiously as he paced the stage back and forth, strutting and punctuating most every word with his waving index finger extended to the crowd, rarely taking even a brief break from pinballing about the elaborate stage. He eventually welcomed former American Idol Carrie Underwood for a duet on It’s Only Rock ’n Roll (But I Like It). At times, the grinning country starlet seemed just as interested in watching Jagger hop and slither about the stage as the thousands of fans packing the stands, just smiling and staring and trying to

She bowed to each member of the band before departing, and as she left the stage looked to the sky in a gesture of apparent amazement. “Toronto, we’ve been coming here for a very, very long
time,” Jagger said before launching into Start Me Up. “And we want to thank you for coming back to see us. We really appreciate that. Thank you!” In fact, the legendary British rockers’ first tour since the A Bigger Bang jaunt back
in 2005-07 has been marred by reports of less-than-robust ticket sales and accusations from some corners of pricegouging. Just hours before the show, it was indeed still possible to buy a row of eight tickets in the “gold section” rimming the Air Canada Centre — although the privilege would set you back about $5,000 total, not including taxes and fees. An eight-pack was also available within the venue’s slightly more modest restaurant seating section for $2,132 total (again excluding fees). There’s something incongruous about a band that always exuded street-grit scrappiness charging country-club prices for access to its show. And judging by the reports of anemic sales in other cities, one might have expected the 50 and Counting tour to be renamed 50 and Who’s Counting? But the Air Canada Centre was merely dotted with empty seats, and the upper bowl — where a ticket cost the comparatively reasonable $165 — was packed and rocking. And pricey though it is, the
Stones’ show remains something to behold. A gigantic pair of the band’s trademark red lips loomed over the stage in front of a golden backdrop. Protruding from the stage was a walkway made to look like a hollow tongue, with a select cluster of fans snuggled in its circumference, pressed in close. It’s natural to assume that a band celebrating its 50th anniversary would be slowed severely by time. And yet, guitarist Keith Richards — who’s 69 but looks older, with a face marked by grooves as deep and worn as a first vinyl pressing of “12 X 5” — and 65-year-old Ron Wood conjured spiralling, sinewy guitar riffs with as much power as ever, while 71-year-old drummer Charlie Watts still seemed unflappable. While those Stones didn’t roll so much as stay more or less stationary, Jagger — set to turn 70 in a matter of months — proved he’s still an electric presence. And the adoring audience indeed seemed thrilled by the spectacle.

NEW YORK — Internal Affairs officers on Saturday were looking into allegations made by actress Amanda Bynes that New York Police Department officers sexually assaulted her when she was arrested for heaving a marijuana bong out the window of her 36th-floor Manhattan apartment Thursday night. The 27-year-old former child star first alleged during her arraignment on Friday that police illegally entered her apartment after being called to her midtown building. But in a Twitter message believed to be from the troubled actress posted Saturday, Bynes alleged that her arresting officer also sexually assaulted her. “As it would with any such allegation, regardless of its credibility, IAB is investigating it,” said the NYPD’s chief spokesman, Paul Browne, referring to the internal affairs bureau. The Twitter handle used to make the sexual assault allegations Saturday does not appear to be verified by the social network— but Bynes’ friend, former Hollywood publicist Jonathan Jaxson, said Saturday the tweet was made from Bynes’ account. Twitter did not immediately return a request for comment. In court on Friday, the former Hairspray star made no mention of the sexual assault allegations, though she did complain of illegal entry to her apartment. She’s been charged with reckless endangerment. A law enforcement official who spoke to the Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because of an ongoing investigation said the building manager was with officers at Bynes’ apartment when they arrived Thursday night. The official said officers were kept waiting approximately five minutes before she opened the door to them. The same official said the building manager told internal affair investigators nothing untoward happened.

Philadelphia bicyclist teams up with cat for tandem rides BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PHILADELPHIA — For bicyclist Rudi Saldia, you could say a cat is his co-pilot. Saldia often buzzes around Philadelphia with his year-old feline Mary Jane perched on his shoulder. Their urban adventures have turned heads on the street and garnered big hits on YouTube. The 26-year-old bike courier didn’t intend to become Internet-famous. He originally shot footage of the outings only to prove to his mom that he was taking Mary Jane — nicknamed MJ — for a spin. “She said, ’No way! You’re not taking your cat out for the ride,’ which is the reaction I still get even after people see this video,” Saldia said. Saldia used a GoPro sports camera mounted on his bike to capture images of him and MJ, a brown and black tabby with bright yellow eyes. She seems to take the trips in stride, even nuzzling her owner as he pedals, though she gets a bit spooked by sirens and buses. “She enjoys seeing everything and having the wind blow in her ears, especially being an indoors cat. This is really her only time outside,” he said. “On the shoulder, she loves it. She’s in total zen mode.” The first video, which he posted last October, has more than 1.2 million views on YouTube. GoPro spokeswoman AnneMarie Hennes said
she saw it for the first time earlier this year and was blown away. She immediately reached out to Saldia to get permission to use the footage in a camera ad, which was posted online last month. “It’s just unique and he did a really good job shooting it,” said Hennes. “We hooked him up with some cameras so he can make more cool MJ content.” Saldia, who also belongs to long-distance riding club, said he began taking out MJ when she was 2 months old, at first just along his quiet street in downtown Philadelphia. The rides eventually went farther, with positive reactions from both MJ and passers-by. “People are thrilled to see the guy with the cat ride his bike down the street,” Saldia said. But online commenters have been less kind, questioning whether the unharnessed cat is safe. Saldia noted he is equally vulnerable while riding in the city and takes necessary precautions. “I’m very confident that the cat would be better off in an accident than I would be, so I’m not worried about taking her out,” he said. Saldia’s mom said although she didn’t believe her son at first, she now thinks the tandem rides are “kind of cool.” “He enjoys it, the cat loves to be with him (and) it’s better than being home alone,” said Sarah Saldia, of Sewell, N.J. “I don’t think they’re hurting anybody.”

Soldier killer suspect previously arrested UNITED KINGDOM BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NAIROBI, Kenya — A suspect in last week’s savage killing of a British soldier on a London street was arrested in Kenya in 2010 while apparently preparing to train and fight with al-Qaida-linked Somali militants, an anti-terrorism police official said Sunday. Michael Adebolajo was then handed over to British authorities in the East African country, another Kenyan official said. The information surfaced as London’s Metropolitan Police said specialist firearms officers arrested another man suspected of conspiring to murder 25-year-old soldier Lee Rigby. Police did not provide details about the suspect, only saying he is 22 years old. The latest arrest followed the detainment in London late Saturday of three others, aged 21 to 28, also suspected in the case. Rigby, who has served in Afghanistan, was run over and stabbed with knives in the Woolwich area in southeast London on Wednesday afternoon as he was walking near his barracks. Adebolajo, 28, and Michael Adebowale, 22, are the main suspects in the killing and remained under armed guard in separate London hospitals after police shot them at the scene. In 2010, Adebolajo was arrested with five others near Kenya’s border with Somalia, Kenya’s anti-terrorism police unit head Boniface Mwaniki told The Associated Press. Police believed Adebolajo was going to work with Somali militant group al-Shabab. Mwaniki said that Adebolajo was deported after his arrest in 2010. Kenya’s government spokesman said he was arrested under a different name, and taken to court before being handed to British authorities. “Kenya’s government arrested Michael Olemindis Ndemolajo. We handed him to British security agents in Kenya and he seems to have found his way to London and mutated to Michael Adebolajo,” spokesman Muthui Kariuki said. “The Kenyan government cannot be held responsible for what happened to him after we handed him to British authorities.” Kariuki said Adebolajo was travelling on a British passport, but he could not confirm if it was authentic. When asked whether British security agents and embassy officials handled Adebolajo in Kenya, a Foreign Office spokeswoman declined to comment, only saying in a statement: “We can confirm a British national was arrested in Kenya in 2010. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office provided consular assistance as normal for British nationals.” Rigby’s grieving family visited the scene of his murder on Sunday, pausing for a few moments in reflection and laying flowers to join the hundreds of floral tributes already left at the nearby Woolwich Barracks by wellwishers. The soldier’s gruesome murder has horrified Britain, partly because it was captured by witnesses’ cellphones. A video picked up by British media showed one of the suspects, with bloodied hands, making political statements and warning of more violence as the soldier lay on the ground behind him. Hardline Muslim leaders have identified the man in the video as Adebolajo, an Islam convert who allegedly used to take part in London demonstrations organized by British radical group al-Muhajiroun. The group catapulted to notoriety after the Sept. 11 attacks by organizing an event to celebrate the air-

More than 20 supporters of the group have been arrested over terrorism offences, including a foiled plot to blow up central London nightclub Ministry of Sound and a bomb attack on London’s Territorial Army base. Abu Nusaybah, a friend of Adebolajo’s, has asserted in a BBC interview that Adebolajo became withdrawn after he allegedly suffered abuse by Kenyan security forces during interrogation in prison there. Anti-terrorism head Mwaniki on Sunday rejected those allegations. He said at the time there were no indications of torture or abuse, but that the unit would further investigate. Mwaniki said dozens of foreign youth are arrested every year attempting to cross the Kenyan border to join al-Shabab, which claims to be fighting a jihad or holy war against the Somali government and African Union forces. Al-Shabab controlled Mogadishu from roughly 2007 to 2011. The group still dominates most of south central Somalia but has seen its territory reduced after military pushes by African Union and Somali forces. According to an August U.S. State Department report on terrorism, al-Shabab continues to maintain training camps in southern Somalia for young recruits, including Americans who have travelled there from Somali communities in the United States. The camps have churned out dozens of bombers who’ve launched attacks in and outside Somalia. Al-Shabab boasts several hundred foreign fighters, mostly East African nationals and veterans from
French police hunting for man who stabbed soldier in throat BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PARIS — French anti-terrorism investigators were combing video surveillance tapes Sunday as they continued their manhunt for a suspect who stabbed a soldier in the throat in the commercial district of La Defence outside Paris. The 23-year-old soldier, Cedric Cordier, was in uniform patrolling the busy underground corridors where shops and crowded public transport lines converge beneath the famous Arch of La Defence. Saturday’s stabbing came days after a British soldier was hacked to death on a London street in broad daylight in a suspected terrorist attack that has raised fears of potential copycat strikes. However, there was no immediate confirmation of any link between the two attacks. French police have surveillance video of a suspect taken before and after the attack. There are several security cameras operated by public transport agency RATP and others placed throughout the underground shopping centre, according to one police official who spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to discuss terrorism investigations. The official, who has not seen the videos himself, said investigators describe the suspect as tall. He couldn’t provide any other description of the suspect. Police are going over videos to try to identify
the suspect, trace his escape route and determine whether he was acting alone, the official said. Cordier remained hospitalized Sunday, but officials said his throat wound wasn’t life-threatening. The French soldier was on a group patrol as part of a national protection program when he was attacked from behind. Defence Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian, who visited Cordier at the hospital Saturday evening, said he had been targeted because he was a soldier. Antiterrorism investigators are leading the hunt for the attacker, but officials have yet to determine whether terrorism is involved, the police official said. Police also questioned witnesses to the attack. Speaking shortly after the attack while on an official visit to Ethiopia, President Francois Hollande said that while “all hypotheses” will be investigated, there didn’t appear to be a link with Wednesday’s deadly attack in London. French security forces have been on heightened alert since their country launched a military intervention in the African nation of Mali in January to regain territory seized by Islamic radicals. British Prime Minister David Cameron was in Paris meeting with Hollande when he first received word of the London attack. Last year, three French paratroopers were killed by a man police described as a French-born Islamic extremist who then went on to strike a Jewish school in southern France, killing four more people.
Missouri highway collapses after train rail cars hit overpass pillar leaving seven people injured BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CHAFFEE, Mo. — A Missouri highway overpass that partially collapsed when rail cars smashed into one of its support pillars after a cargo train collision was about 15 years old and in good condition but just couldn’t withstand the impact, a sheriff said. Seven people in two cars on the overpass were injured, none seriously, when two 40-foot (12-meter) sections of the overpass crumpled early Saturday. “You’re driving down the road and the next thing you know the bridge is not there. ... It could have been really bad,” Scott County Sheriff Rick Walter said. He said the bridge, though in good condition, couldn’t withstand the impact of the rail cars. The collapse occurred after a Union Pacific train struck the side of a Burlington Northern Santa Fe train at a rail intersection, Walter said. Derailed rail cars then struck columns supporting the highway overpass, causing it to buckle and partially collapse. The derailed rail cars were loaded with scrap metal, automobiles and auto parts. The National Transportation Safety Board has begun an investigation into the cause of the cargo train collision near Chaffee, a small town southwest of Cape Girardeau.
The two cars were the only ones on the overpass at the time, authorities said. Five people in the two cars were taken to Saint Francis Medical Center in Cape Girardeau, as were a Union Pacific train conductor and an engineer. All seven were released later Saturday, hospital spokeswoman Felecia Blanton said. Blanton said she was bracing for the worst, given the dramatic footage posted online from the early news coverage. She said it was “a real blessing” that the injuries were relatively minor, the most serious being a fracture. A diesel fire also broke out in one of the locomotives after the collision, but was quickly put out, Walter said. He said a deputy arriving early on the scene pulled the two Union Pacific employees out of the wrecked engine, which became lodged next to the train’s second engine. The accident came more than a week after a commuter train derailment in Connecticut that injured 70 people and disrupted service for days. That accident involved a railroad corridor used by tens of thousands of commuters north of New York City. In Washington state this past week, a bridge over the Skagit River collapsed when a truck driver’s load bumped against the steel framework.
the Iraqi and Afghanistan wars. British officials have been on the lookout for security threats originating from Somalia for some years. In a speech in 2010, Jonathan Evans, then head of Britain’s MI5 domestic security service, warned that “a significant number” of British residents were training in al-Shabab camps to fight in the insurgency there. “I am concerned that it is only a matter of time before we see terrorism on our streets inspired by those who are today fighting alongside al-Shabab,” he said. London police said another man in his 20s was stabbed Sunday in Woolwich close to where Rigby was killed, momentarily rattling people in the area. But Scotland Yard said early indications were that the stabbing was not related to terrorism or to Wednesday’s killing. A spokesman said the victim was not a soldier, and that his injuries did not appear to be life threatening. Deputy Assistant Commissioner Stuart Osborne, head of Scotland Yard’s counterterrorism command, said officers are pursuing CCTV, social media, forensic and intelligence leads in the investigation. He appealed for anyone who knew the two attackers to contact police with information. British officials said Sunday they are also setting up a new terrorism task force to tackle radical preachers and extremism. Home Secretary Theresa May said the group will look at whether new powers and laws are needed to clamp down on religious leaders and organizations who promote extremist messages and who target potential recruits in British jails, schools and mosques.
Aid workers rescued from Taliban attack in Afghan capital BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS KABUL, Afghanistan — Ten terrified international aid workers huddled inside a fortified room in Kabul for two hours as a Taliban attack raged around them until they were rescued by Afghan police, the aid group’s country chief said Sunday. Richard Danziger, chief of mission for the International Organization for Migration, praised the police for fighting their way into the compound to free the workers during the eight-hour Taliban assault Friday that turned one of the capital’s most upscale neighbourhoods into a battleground. “Both the police and our ... guards, they held their ground and fought for two hours until they found a time when they could grab our staff and take them out of the compound,” he said along with his deputy, Enira Krdzalic, who survived the siege. An Afghan police officer and two civilians died in the heavy fighting that began with a suicide bombing, Interior Ministry spokesman Sediq Sediqqi said. Afghan security forces have been criticized over how such heavily armed attackers could penetrate the area, which is dotted with checkpoints and blast walls protecting several government buildings and humanitarian offices including the headquarters of the United Nations in Sharr-e-Now district. Others noted the fact that only two civilians died as a sign of the Afghan forces’ growing capability — one of the lynchpins of the international military coalition’s plans to withdraw by the end of next year. Details of the chaotic siege were still emerging two days later. Danziger said earlier police reports that one of the group’s armed Nepalese guards died was not true, though five of the guards were wounded along with four IOM staff, including one Italian woman badly burned by a grenade. All of the attackers were killed. Danziger said the attack was clearly planned to target the international staff, and the gunmen appeared to know the layout of at least part of the compound. “The way they forced themselves in, the way they knew where to go once they were inside, certainly provides every indication that they were coming for us,” he said. Danziger, who was out of Afghanistan during Friday’s siege, said he was “mystified” as to why IOM was targeted. Insurgent assaults on aid groups are relatively rare, though attacks have hit guest houses used by the U.N. in the past. The IOM is a U.N.-affiliated agency assisting returning Afghan migrants as well as those displaced internally. A Taliban spokesman on Friday said the insurgents launched an attack on a group of CIA trainers for the Afghan security forces, but Danziger stressed that the group has no affiliation with the American spy agency, adding that the Taliban often see any foreigner as an attractive target. When the Taliban car bomb slammed into the IOM’s southeastern gate just after 4 p.m. on Friday, only about 12 international staff who live in the compound and another dozen Afghan employees were inside along with the Nepalese guards, Danziger said.

Jersey shore open for business BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SEASIDE HEIGHTS, N.J. — New Jersey used a record-breaking gesture Friday to celebrate its recovery from a record-setting storm, proclaiming to the world that the Jersey shore is back in business following Superstorm Sandy. Gov. Chris Christie and a host of volunteers carried out a ceremonial ribbon cutting that broke the Guinness World record for the longest such undertaking. The 5.5-mile (8.8-kilometre) ribbon symbolically tied together some of the hardesthit towns by Sandy, and bested the previous record-holder by about a mile (two kilometres), according to Mike Janela, an adjudicator for Guinness, who was present for the event. “This is an incredible day for New Jersey,” said Christie, who spoke even as front-end loaders carried poles and planks onto the sand for the still-not-quite-finished boardwalk. “Seven months ago I saw the devastation on this boardwalk. I knew that if we all worked hard we could get this done.” The event was part of a noholds-barred rollout of summer in this famous resort town made infamous by the MTV reality show Jersey Shore, which filmed here until wrapping up last year. Cast members joined Christie in urging tourists to return this summer. “This is known as a happy place,” said Paul “Pauly D” Del Vecchio. “Right after the storm, it was the exact opposite: dead, silent. To see this place being rebuilt makes me happy.” Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, of Jersey Shore, said crowds will be back this summer. “You just come here to have a good time,” she said. “It’s a great place. You come here with your friends. Everybody’s here, it’s getting rebuilt; it’s just amazing.” The message of the day was that New Jersey is ready for summer fun. In fact, they even hired fun. — the rock band whose anthem “We Are Young” captures the spirit of
