2012 oil spill left lasting impact ‘There’s some awful strange things going on,’ says farmer Wayne Johnston

BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF SUNDRE — For the Johnstons, the signs that all is not the same a year after the oil spill can be found in the wildlife.

“I don’t really know what to say. It’s different,” says Ila Johnston, who has lived all her married life on the farm just downstream from where up to 3,000 barrels of light sour crude oil bubbled into the Red Deer River a year ago.

“The geese for one thing. They’re still flying around in flocks. We haven’t seen a single gosling or duckling.”

Ominously, she remembers a similar situation in 1994 when a natural gas pipeline ruptured in the area.

Husband Wayne, who was born and raised on the farm about eight km north of Sundre, said the family dog Tip hasn’t been the same since the June 7 spill about a kilometre to the north.

“He’s gone from a young dog to an old dog, and he’s gone hyper.”

Their yearling calves also are acting wilder, and even deer in the area don’t seem the same. Ila says a lot of the wildlife look to be skin and bones; inexplicably because there is no shortage of food along the river.

“There’s some awful strange things going on,” says Wayne. “All you have to do is pay attention to the animals. It’s not normal.”

Down at the river, there are no obvious signs of the mess that was created late last spring. The brown film that covered the water and the overpowering stench of hydrocarbons is long gone.

Johnston is troubled by a brown foam that has gathered in a small eddy and scoops it up in a glass jar. He wants to see what it looks like in a few days when it has had a chance to settle, he says.

SPILL: ‘What happens if more oil damage is found?’

It doesn’t smell unusual, which may be a good sign. But that doesn’t mean it’s a good thing either.

The uncertainty that comes with being a neighbour to the oil and gas industry is a constant worry for the couple.

Plains Midstream’s spill is only the latest in a long line of incidents the couple have had to cope with, including a 1994 natural gas leak that killed a dozen calves. In 2008, a Pembina pipeline broke not far from the more recent spill.

As recently as fall 2011, another company’s pipeline carrying processed water to a well site broke three times in three months before it was finally replaced.

“We worry all the time,” said Ila. “We generally don’t get through a year without a pipeline break, either on our property or somewhere next door.”

All of the spills, unexplained foul-smelling whiffs from nearby oil and gas facilities have taken a physical toll, the couple believes.

“I know it’s affected her health and I know it’s affected my health,” Wayne says. Just a few days ago he was in Red Deer’s hospital getting checked for pancreas and liver problems.

Ila also suffers. I’ve got numerous problems. Just pain where there shouldn’t be. Most of them kind of unexplainable.”

Wayne says he turned down a company compensation offer of $10,000 because it required him to release them from any future obligations. What happens if more oil damage is found later then, he asks. He can’t afford to clean it and fears he could lose his land.

Last year’s oil spill put Dennis Overguard in hospital with a heart attack. By the time, he left he had four stents propping up his collapsed arteries. The doctors told him the sickening fumes he inhaled were to blame.

Overguard, 61, was told he should sue. That’s not his style, he says, but some residue of bitterness remains.

“What I figure is whatever goes around, comes around. Hopefully, the guys in charge of Plains will end up on their back getting their hearts operated on and they’ll know what it feels like.”

The thing is, he says, all those on the land, whether they are farming it, drilling it or logging it are neighbours, and should act that way.

“That’s what I told Plains, all I wanted to be was treated humanely. Unfortunately, the humane society doesn’t look after me like they do cattle,” he said with a grim chuckle.

He was given compensation for the 126 days he was out of his home, but not for any of his medical issues, he says.

He’s still extremely susceptible to fumes — even a backdraft of exhaust from his truck can trigger heart pain.

The health of the river is a different matter. Overguard is curious what effect the spring runoff will have. While Plains has done about as much as it can to clean the river and its banks the torrent of spring melt will probably be the real cleaning mechanism for the damage.

“I’ll be really interested to see how much of an oil slick we have in (Gleniffer Lake) after the high water here.”

“I know in the back waters there’s still traces (of oil),” he says.

Despite the damage, the river will bounce back, he believes “I think so — as long as they don’t do it again.”

Plains Midstream spent tens of millions and employed hundreds last year cleaning up the mess, which was completed by the fall. A spokesperson could not be reached for an interview. But the company’s most recent update paints an encouraging picture of those efforts.

A detailed inspection at the release site “found no contamination and observed good progress with reclamation of the area.”

Further inspections will take place in the late summer or early fall.

No contamination was found at other inspection points either.

“The willow stakes from last year were found with new shoots and good vegetation emergence was observed,” says the update, noting regular river inspections will continue.

Regulators plan to return to the river this summer to evaluate the effectiveness of the cleanup operations.

A wildlife and bird survey was conducted in late May and found “wildlife presence observed was typical for this environment.”

Reminders of the spill’s impact are easy to find. A sign posted near the Garrington Bridge over the Red Deer River warns anglers that the river and all tributaries upstream of Gleniffer Lake remains under zero harvest regulations until the impact on fish populations has been assessed .

Until then, only catch and release is allowed.

The results of those fish studies are not expected until fall or early winter. Restrictions were imposed last August, a delay that drew some criticism.

The toll on wildlife was relatively light. About two dozen birds and mammals and 27 fish were found dead. This spring, there have been no other casualties found.

Mountain View County Coun. Paddy Munro said looking at the whole incident in the rear view he remains disappointed.

“I really feel let down. First of all, I think the (Environmental Resources Conservation Board) should have done a better job of monitoring these pipelines.

“It’s not like it’s the first time.”

Plains is now boring its pipeline much deeper under the river to prevent a repeat incident. That should have been done before there was a disaster, says Munro. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

Wayne Johnston scooped up this brown foam from the Red Deer River below his home. He doesn’t know what it is but believes it is connected to last year’s oil spill.

Oil-spill disaster: a timeline of events April 29, 2011 — Plains Midstream Canada responds to a 28,000 barrel leak northeast of the Peace River — one of the largest spills in Alberta’s history. Plains operates over 5,000 kms of pipeline systems in Western Canada and about a fifth of the crude oil that is produced goes through the system on a daily basis.

June 8, 2012 — The media learns of the 3,000-barrel spill on the Red Deer River near Sundre, which was detected by Plains Midstream Canada at 9:40 p.m. the day before.

June 8, 2012 — More than 100 energy workers, cleanup crew members and energy regulators go to Gleniffer Lake, about 50 kms from Sundre by road.

June 8, 2012 — The City of Red Deer monitors the situation but reports that the city’s water system is unaffected.

June 8, 2012 — Crews work to contain the spill from the Plains Midstream Canada 12-inch Rangeland South Pipeline system, built in 1966, near Sundre, which ran underneath the Red Deer River.

The pipeline was dormant at the time of the leak, which may have minimized the consequences of the event.

June 8, 2012 — Premier Alison Redford issued a statement in response to the Plains Midstream leak. “Many questions will be asked over the coming days about Alberta’s pipeline infrastructure.

June 8, 2012 — Alberta’s Energy Resources Conservation Board (ERCB) investigates the spill and cleanup efforts while Alberta Health Services works with Plains Midstream to watch for signs of contamination beyond the affected area.

June 11, 2012 —Mountain View County Reeve Bruce Beattie questions the age and maintenance of the pipeline.

June 11, 2012 — Cleanup continues notably on the Red Deer River at Township Road 331A and Township Road 340, locations north of Sundre.

June 11, 2012 — The company said they believe the break occurred under the Red Deer River.

Originally the company reported the leak occurred in Jackson Creek, which flows into the Red Deer River. Medicine River Wildlife Centre said a oneweek old baby beaver was the first to come to the centre. The kit was found close to the original spill site, north of Sundre.

June 15, 2012 — About a week after the spill, an information centre is established at the James River Community Hall north of Sundre. About 56 five-gallon jugs of water, along with 70 cases of bottled water, are trucked to the community hall.

June 14, 2012 — The 3,000-barrel leak in the Red Deer River is only about a 10th of the size of the Peace River leak on April 29, 2011. It was a 28,000-barrel leak northeast of the Peace River and residents of Little Buffalo Lubicon Lake Nation, a community about 30 kms west of the spill site,

are still up in arms about the spill that stretched 0.4 kms wide and 4.8 kms long.

June 14, 2012 — A story quotes local oil company officials on the cause and prevention of pipeline deterioration. The leading cause of an oil and gas pipeline failure is said to be corrosion.

June 16, 2012 — Workforce is at its peak with 275 people on site. Sixteen work crews are gathering, bagging and removing wood debris at eight different locations.

June 18, 2012 — About 500 resort residents turn out for weekend information sessions put on by Plains Midstream Canada as the oil spill cleanup continues. Gleniffer Lake Resort and Country Club and Carefree Resort were effected by the spill.

June 19, 2012 — Residents meet at the James River Community Hall, north of Sundre. They are met by Plains Midstream Canada representatives, Alberta Environment, the ERCB and the Sundre Petroleum Operators Group (SPOG). This is when Stephen Bart, vice-president of crude oil operations for Plains Midstream Canada, said the typical inspection frequency “is in the neighbourhood” of every three to five years. The pipeline, built in 1966, was last inspected in 2009, he said.

June 22, 2012 — A class-action lawsuit is filed against Plains Midstream Canada over the oil spill into the Red Deer River and Gleniffer Lake. Representing 30 plaintiffs, the Merchant Law Group files the suit seeking $75 million in damages.

June 27, 2012 — Sherry Tytkanych, president of the Sundre and District Chamber of Commerce, said that some businesses have been contacting them because clients have been cancelling reservations to campsites or for activities such as whitewater rafting and fishing.

June 28, 2012 — The majority of Gleniffer Lake is reopened. At this time the far southwest corner of the lake near Dickson Point remained closed to the public, along with the Cottonwood day-use area.

Shoreline fishing is permitted at Dickson Trout Pond but boats are not allowed.

July 16, 2012 — During the first week of the spill, Carol Kelly, executive director at Medicine River Wildlife Centre, says four other patients joined the kit — an adult beaver, baby muskrat, Canada goose and baby crow. The baby muskrat and adult beaver have since been released back into the wild. The baby beaver is still at the centre. The goose and crow did not survive.

July 29, 2012 — The Sundre community comes together to show support for the tourism industry with a rally to raise the area’s profile. The event was organized by the Sundre and District Chamber of Commerce and Wild Rose riding Conservative MP Blake Richards.

Dreeshen bill passes third reading

BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF Red Deer MP Earl Dreeshen’s private members bill to deal with those personating an officer to commit a crime unanimously passed third reading on Friday in the House of Commons.

Discussion for third reading on Bill C-444, an amendment to the Criminal Code, started on May 31.

When discussion ran longer than expected the bill was scheduled to return to the House of Commons in September.

“We were able to get it moved up in the order and we presented it this afternoon, the last part of the second hour of third reading,” Dreeshen said from Ottawa on Friday.

A voice vote, which is quicker and doesn’t require attendance of all present members, was held instead of a standing vote.

“The next stage is to speak to Senate colleagues and find someone to carry it through the Senate process.”

Once it is passed by the Senate, the bill can be

given royal assent and becomes law.

Dreeshen has been working on the bill for over three years and re-introduced the bill after it died on the order paper when the 2011 federal election was called.

He put forward the bill after the 2009 abduction and sexual assault of a Penhold teen. A man who posed as a police officer stopped her outside her home and told her to get into his car, which was equipped with red flashing lights.

Gerard John Baumgarte of Red Deer, who was 57 at the time, was given a six-month sentence for personating a police officer. That sentence runs concurrently with his 18-year prison sentence on other charges.

Bill C-444 would see that personating a peace officer, or public officer, to commit another offence is made an aggravating circumstance for sentencing purposes.

Aggravating circumstances cause judges to impose longer sentences, up to the five-year maximum that is allowed. szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com

Alberta Energy spokesman Mike Feenstra said the department is still reviewing the initial report and an analysis prepared by ERCB staff.

The report will be released this summer for feedback from the public.

As for the bad news theory?

“The timing of the release does not have to do with the content,” he says in an email.

The forums are as follows: ● June 17, 1:15 p.m. at Camrose, Norseman Inn, 6605 48th Ave. ● June 19, 7:30 p.m. at Eagle Hill Community Hall (five km west of Hwy 766 on Township Road 34-0, west of Bowden) ● June 21, 2-4 p.m. at Lac La Biche Kinsmen Centre pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

A U.S. pipeline safety expert has been invited to provide his insight at a series of forums in Alberta hosted by landowner and environmental groups.

Don Bester, of the Alberta Surface Rights Group, said Anthony Swift, an attorney and pipeline safety expert from the Washington, D.C.based National Resource Defence Council, is well versed in Alberta’s pipeline issues.

“He knows his stuff,” said Bester on Friday.

Swift’s group has done a lot of research on Alberta in relation to the council’s work on the controversial Keystone XL pipeline project to transport Alberta crude to U.S. Gulf Coast refineries.

“They’re probably more up on Alberta pipeline companies than we are (in Alberta),” he said.

Bester expects there will be discussion about the risk of an aging pipeline infrastructure and what safety measures are in place versus what should be there.

The forums, co-hosted

by Greenpeace, Council of Canadians and Sierra Club are also meant to turn up the heat under the provincial government to release a longawaited report on pipeline safety.

Aug. 3, 2012 — The province announces that anglers face catch-and-release restrictions. This comes two months after the oil spill. Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development will assess fish populations and aquatic ecosystem health through various sampling and monitoring programs on the main stem of the Red Deer River, upstream of Dickson Dam, including Gleniffer Lake and Dickson Trout Pond, to Banff National Park boundary and all flowing tributary waters. The zero harvest restriction will be in place for the remainder of the 2012 to 2013 angling season to allow officials to productively study the fish.

Aug. 20, 2012 — An Aug. 9 Plains All American quarterly report states that Plains Midstream Canada will spend upwards of $53 million in cleanup and remediation actvities.

Aug. 24, 2012 — The company rushes to remove the pipeline before fall freeze up. A segment of the pipe has been removed from the west side of the river and was signed over to Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development, a Plains update states. The company reports that over one week, 200 bags of debris were removed from the shoreline and about 210,740 work-hours have supported the response and cleanup.

Sept. 5, 2012 — Provincial and federal regulators are back on site inspecting oil spill cleanup efforts on the Red Deer River. Eight sites remediated by Plains Midstream were inspected by regulators about two weeks earlier and the latest visits are a follow-up to that work. Alberta’s Environment and Sustainable Resources Development departments, the Energy Resources Conservation Board and the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans are involved.

Sept. 30, 2012 — A number of individuals who attend a Plains Midstream Canada’s information session at James River Hall in Mountain View County say the company is not adequately addressing their concerns.

Sept. 30, 2012 — Stephen Bart, vice-president of operations for Plains Midstream Canada, said the company broke the Red Deer River into 15 sections and met with regulators to determine what should be done in each section.

Oct. 15, 2012 — Plains Midstream said in a news release that the cleanup is complete. The company states it plans to return to the site in spring or early summer to inspect the sites again.

Feb. 26, 2013 — The Energy Resources Conservation Board issues four high-risk enforcement actions against Plains Midstream in relation to the April 2011 Peace River spill. The board cites the company for not properly digging the pipeline, for inadequate operating and maintenance procedures, and for inadequate leak detection and response.

April 26, 2013 — In relation to the Peace River spill, Plains Midstream is charged with three counts under the provincial Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act, which allows for maximum fines of $500,000.

Two alleged motorcycle gang members have been charged with attempted murder in connection with a shooting near Sylvan Lake last week.

It was the second alleged attempted murder about the same time and near the same location, although police do not believe the cases are elated.

RCMP said on June 3 a man suffering from gunshot wounds was found walking near Sylvan Lake.

He was taken to hospital and underwent surgery and is expected to recover.

Sylvan Lake RCMP with the assistance of the RCMP Serious Crimes Branch and forensic identification and dog units investigated and announced the arrests on Friday of two men allegedly associated with the Malicious Crew Motorcycle Club.

Sgt. Patricia Neely, Southern Alberta media relations officer, said Malicious Crew is based in Central Alberta, including Red Deer.

Daniel Huddlestone and Cameron Monkman have both been charged with attempted murder using a firearm, robbery with a firearm, aggravated assault, possession of a restricted weapon, and other weapons-related offences. Monkman has also been charged with possession of marijuana.

Both remain in custody and are next due in court on June 27.

Neely said the incident does not appear to be connected to another alleged attempted murder in the area.

Andrew Waunch, 30, has been charged with attempted murder and unlawful confinement following the incident in Sylvan Lake. He also faces numerous other charges.

RCMP said Waunch has no known link to the Malicious Crew gang, but that he is an associate of Huddlestone. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

Red Deer man charged with theft

LOCAL

BRIEFS Three people charged in escort scam Three people have been charged with using Internet escort websites to lure and rob men looking for female companionship.

Two males and one female face a combined 48 charges stemming from at least two incidents within the past week.

Red Deer City RCMP started the investigation after two reports of robberies that originated from male victims using the Internet for escort services.

According to police in both instances the males contacted a female from these websites and set up a location and time to meet with them.

Once the man arrived at the meeting place two male suspects brandishing a knife or firearm would steal money, credit cards and in one instance a vehicle from the victim.

Police said during one of those robberies the male was held against his will for an extended period of time before escaping capture and contacting police.

Police have arrested and charged Lindsey Rae Mazzei, 30, of Red Deer, Florian Edward Poitra, 31, of no fixed address and Mark William Bitterman, 30, of no fixed address.

Mazzei, Poitra and Bitterman each face charges of robbery with a firearm, extortion with a firearm, kidnapping with a firearm, forcible confinement, uttering threats, theft over $5,000, unauthorized possession of a firearm, use of an imitation firearm in the commission of an indictable offence and use of a firearm while committing an indictable offence.

Poitra and Bitterman also face assault charges and Bitterman faces a breach of probation charge.

Court dates for all three suspects have not been set.

A 39-year-old Red Deer man was arrested following a seven-month police investigation into thefts from various oilfield sites.

The break and enters that resulted in large amounts of copper wire being stolen occurred mostly in the Three Hills region between December 2012 and February 2013.

Police officers from Three Hills and other RCMP detachments investigated, as well as members from the Red Deer Forensic Identification Section.

Stephen Barnes was arrested on Wednesday and charged with eight counts of break and enter. He’s currently in custody awaiting bail, and is scheduled to appear in Drumheller Provincial Court on July 3.

Horses found wandering back alley Two horses are currently homeless after they were found wandering a back alley in Red Deer.

Red Deer City RCMP were called to the Lancaster neighbourhood at 6:30 a.m. on June 9 to a report of the two animals.

One is described as a paint horse while the other is a pony cross.

Police said they are currently being cared for and are in good health.

Police are asking for the owners or anyone who knows who the owners are to contact Livestock Iden-

tification Services at 403-509-2088, the Red Deer LIS office at 403-309-4716 or Cpl. D.J. Heaslip at 780-2895510.

Road near Bower Place Shopping Centre closed for repairs A section of road near the Bower Place Shopping Centre will be closed for a week.

From Monday to Friday Molly Bannister Drive and Barrett Drive from Bremner Avenue to Bennett Street, the road around the Bower mall, will be closed to traffic for road improvements and frost boil repairs.

According to a City of Red Deer release frost boils occur when moisture infiltrates the base of a paved road. When it freezes it expands and pushes up to the surface of the road, then when it melts the pavement collapses back into the voids left behind. Frost boil repairs are necessary to maintain the integrity of the city’s roadways.

The City asks that drivers slow down when approaching or driving in construction areas and obey all signs.

A man charged with shooting at Red Deer RCMP, two carjackings at gunpoint, attempted murder, two police chases, and much more remains in custody and returns to court on June 28.

Andrew Allen Waunch, 30, of no fixed address, was arrested Monday morning and made his first court appearance on Friday.

He faces a total of 37 charges.

Waunch, also known as Navi, was initially wanted in connection with two incidents — an attempted murder in Sylvan Lake that took place on June 3 and a gunpoint carjacking on June 7 near Olds.

On Sunday evening at about 7 p.m., Red Deer City RCMP were called to a reported armed carjacking. Four hours later police located the stolen vehicle in Creekside Trailer Park. Police attempted to initiate a traffic stop, but the vehicle fled from police.

A pursuit ensued and police followed the vehicle outside of Red Deer where shots were fired from the suspect vehicle at a police vehicle.

The suspect vehicle evaded police and was later located, abandoned, near Olds. A second vehicle was reported stolen, this time a black Dodge truck.

Through police investigation it was determined the truck, driven by the same suspect from the earlier incidents in Red Deer, had returned to the city.

Police located the vehicle in the south end of the city and attempted a traffic stop, but the truck fled and another pursuit ensured.

Charges against Waunch include attempted murder, robbery of money and jewelry using a firearm, extortion using a firearm, two counts of breaking and enter of a dwelling house and robbery, two counts of robbery with a firearm, counselling to commit an indictable offence, robbery of a vehicle using a firearm, theft of a vehicle, concealing a handgun, unlawfully using a handgun during flight from police, dangerous operation of a vehicle, kidnapping, discharging a firearm, uttering a death threat, possession of a prohibited weapon, being an occupant of a motor vehicle knowing there was a firearm in the vehicle and two counts of flight from police.

Installing his latest photographic mosaic project, Tim Van Horn of Red Deer hangs a 2,013 portrait work of art on his garage in Parkvale Friday. The piece will be officially unveiled today at noon.

Located at 4617-46 Avenue, the new mosaic replaces another that was a Canadian flag made up of thousands of portraits. The unveiling of the mosaic coincides with the Red Deer Artwalk Festival being held Saturday at Rotary Recreation Park near the corner of 47 Ave and 44 St. For Van Horn, this Centennial mosaic is his gift to the residents of the City of Red Deer.

Health minister wants quick end to $3.2M bonus pay dispute

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — Alberta Health Minister Fred Horne says he wants a quick end to a dispute over $3.2 million in bonus payments to 99 health executives.

“We want to bring this to a resolution as quickly as we can,” Horne said Friday at a news conference held to introduce Janet Davidson as the new administrator of Alberta Health Services.

Horne conceded the dispute has become “a bit of a legal quagmire” given that the former board of Alberta Health Services, or AHS, authorized the money be paid.

On Tuesday, Horne directed the 10-member board to cancel the bonuses because they were out of step with the province’s tight budget.

When the board refused — citing the sanctity of signed contracts and pointing out that the money was for the fiscal year already ended —Horne fired all it members and replaced them with Davidson.

He said Davidson is to give him options on the bonus payouts, but Davidson said she is still getting up to speed.

“I need to really familiarize myself with all the background on this,” she said.

Davidson will be paid $580,000 in her new role.

She replaces the board for an indefinite period until — and if — Horne appoints a new board. Horne said that’s still up for discussion.

Davidson has more than 30 years in hospital and health-care management following a career as a nurse and a worker on the front lines dealing with AIDS and malaria patients in Africa.

In 2006, she was named to the Order of Canada, in part for her work helping transform the Canadian Red Cross.

Horne said Davidson’s role will be helping him reorganize Alberta Health Services, but he cautioned that they will be reforming the system, not tossing everything out and starting over.

Davidson said she won’t trip over the roles and responsibilities of AHS CEO Dr. Chris Eagle.

“When I talk about working with Chris and giving advice as required, that does not mean getting in and running the organization. That’s not the role of governance,” said Davidson.

“But that doesn’t mean governance does not have a role in providing strategic advice and strategic oversight — and that’s what I think is absolutely critically important.”

AHS is an arm’s-length agency of 100,000 employees tasked by Alberta Health to deliver day-to-day care. It was created in 2008 to centralize all the work of Alberta’s then-nine health regions and three agencies.

A government task force review of AHS released Wednesday by Horne makes clear that five years later, a lot of work still needs to be done.

Alberta’s Lieutenant Governor Donald Ethell is the first to admit he’s not an artist — he leaves that to his wife, Linda, a prize-winning quilter.

But all the official invitations he gets to gallery openings, music and theatre functions have left Ethell with an appreciation for arts and culture that he wishes all other Albertans shared.

“I think it brings an intelligence to society,” said the retired Canadian soldier who is presenting the Lieutenant Governor of Alberta Distinguished Artist Awards tonight in Red Deer.

Lt.-Gov. Donald The art in question could be the aboriginal work Ethell Ethell admired at Head-SmashedIn Buffalo Jump, literature or even puppetry (tonight’s award recipients are Calgary author Aritha van Herk and the three founders of Calgary’s Old Trout Puppetry Workshop — Judd Palmer, Pityu Kenderes and Peter Balkwill).

Whatever the medium, he believes art “triggers discussion, and brings out things that people should know.”

While Ethell realizes that some Albertans disagree with public money going to support the arts, he believes more access to funding would help art and culture flourish in the province. He would like to tell these dissenting people, “Think of your kids . . .

“You might not have an interest in art, but your children might have an interest in it,” — or could even become involved with it.

Ethell has two sons in science-oriented jobs. But his granddaughter is a ballerina who has danced in New York and is now at UCLA in California.

“We strongly supported our kids,” in all their endeavours, added the lieutenant governor, who’s pleased to support the Alberta arts scene though the yearly awards program that alternately recognizes up-and-coming as well as established artists with sizable cash prizes.

This year, Red Deer has the honour of hosting the awards that were started in 2005 by Alberta’s former lieutenant governor, the late Lois Hole.

When asked why this community was picked, Ethell doesn’t mention the Red Deer Symphony Orchestra, whose last concert he had the pleasure of attending, or the long-standing visual arts and theatre groups in the city.

He admitted, “It’s your outstanding mayor. He can convince a lot of people!”

Tickets to tonight’s 7 p.m. awards presentation and dessert event at the Red Deer College Arts Centre are $52.50 from the Black Knight Ticket Centre. lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

Nelson Mandela’s democratic legacy As I write this Nelson Mandela is still with us. He may even still be living at the end of this year. But this is his fourth hospitalisation in six months, and the prognosis for 94-year-old men with persistent lung infections is not good.

How will South Africa do without him?

Wrong question, actually.

In practice, South Africa GWYNNE has been doDYER ing without him for more than a decade already – but psychologically, it is just now getting to grips with the reality that he will soon be gone entirely.

For all its many faults and failures, post-apartheid South Africa is a miracle that few expected to happen.

Although Mandela retired from the presidency in 1999, fourteen years later he is still seen as the man who made the magic work, and somehow the guarantor that it will go on working.

If only in some vague and formless way, a great many people fear that his death will remove that safety net.

Just in the past two weeks, however, the tone of the discussion has begun to change.

On hearing that Nelson Mandela had been admitted to hospital yet again, Andrew Mlangeni, one of his dearest friends and once a fellow-prisoner on Robben Island, said simply: “It’s time to let him go.

The family must release him, so that God may have his own way with him...

Once the family releases him, the people of South Africa will follow.”

That one comment opened the floodgates, for it had a strong resonance in traditional African culture, which holds that a very sick person cannot die until his family “releases” him.

They have to give him “permission” to die, by reassuring him that his loved ones will be fine when he’s gone. So South Africans must now accept that they can get along without Nelson Mandela, and then he will be free to go.

It’s not that everybody really believes in this tradition, but it frames the conversation in more positive and less distressing way.

People can argue about whether or not South Africa is doing as well as it

Archbishop Desmond Tutu, talking about Nelson Mandela’s inevitable death, said last week: “The best memorial to Nelson Mandela would be a democracy that was really up and running: a democracy in which every single person in should, but they can at least agree that Mandela got the country safely through the most dangerous phase of the transition, and that they can carry on with the job of building a just and democratic society without him.

Except for President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe, of course.

Mugabe has always deeply resented the fact that Nelson Mugabe is revered as the father of his nation while he himself is seen as a vicious tyrant who

has ruined his country. So he seized the opportunity of a recent highprofile interview on South African television to accuse Mandela of having failed in his duty to South Africa’s black majority: he had been too soft on the whites.

What would have particularly annoyed Mandela, if he was well enough to watch the show, was that the interviewer was Dali Tambo, the son of his oldest and most trusted ally, the late

Oliver Tambo.

As young lawyers, the two men cofounded South Africa’s first black-run legal office in 1952, and when Tambo became the president-in-exile of the African National Congress he made Mandela’s release from prison its highest priority.

Dali Tambo is another kettle of fish: a flamboyant man who has traded on his family name to forge a career as a TV interviewer.

He has his own soft-focus interview show, “People of the South,” and recently he persuaded Robert Mugabe to give him a two-hour interview. In the course of it, Mugabe dismissed Mandela as “too much of a saint.”

“Mandela has gone a bit too far in doing good to the non-black communities, really in some cases at the expense of blacks,” the Zimbabwean dictator said. “That’s being too saintly, too good, too much of a saint.”

Nonsense. What Nelson Mandela and his white negotiating partner, F.W. De Klerk, were trying to avoid in the early 1990s was a South African civil war that would have killed millions and lasted for a very long time.

The 20 percent white minority were heavily armed, and they had nowhere else to go. Their families, for the most part, had been in South Africa for at least a century.

Therefore, a settlement that gave South Africa a peaceful (and hopefully prosperous) democratic future had to be one in which the whites still had a future.

So you either make the kind of deal that Mandela and De Klerk made, in which nobody loses too much, or you submit to a future that would make the current civil war in Syria look like a tea party.

And by the way, Mugabe was making his remarks in a country whose economy has been so devastated by his “tougher” approach that fully onequarter of the population has fled abroad in search of work, mostly to South Africa.

Archbishop Desmond Tutu, talking about Mandela’s inevitable death, said last week: “The best memorial to Nelson Mandela would be a democracy that was really up and running: a democracy in which every single person in South Africa knew that they mattered.”

That is still some distance away, but Mandela has laid the foundations. He was the right man for the job: a saint who also understood realpolitik.

Couples in their cars busy not watching.

Most people who remember Drive-In theaters miss them. Miss them in the same way we miss dance halls and Dayliners.

Our own fair town, years ago, when the population was a fraction of what it is now on account of we hadn’t hit boom times yet where what we now HARLEY call a “deficit” used to be HAY called a “surplus”, we had two Drive In theaters, and one of them was a Multi. Three giant screens out on south 40th avenue. There’s a church there now, and I’m not sure what that says about drive-ins, but I’m pretty sure there’s an insightful or possibly wildly misinterpreted social message there somewhere.

And for those who didn’t drive in, but happened to drive by a drive in at night when a movie was on were often treated to about 20 seconds of neckcranking, distracted-driving free movie.

And if it was a particularly racy movie consisting of scenes slightly exceeding a PG rating (which for some unknown reason happened occasionally I’m told) drive by-ers would pull over to the side of the road and watch the action (on the screen) from outside the official driving theater parking lot that you had to pay to get into.

The old 2/11 Drive In on the north side of town, at the turn off to the lake was surrounded by streets that were particularly clogged on nights when steamy flicks like Valley of the Dolls or Barbarella happened to be projected about 30 feet high for all to see for free.

It wasn’t all that stellar for these cinema stealers of course, on account of every movie outside the gates of a drive-in was a silent movie. You had to pay at the gate for the privilege of pulling up to a post, pointing your jalopy at the big screen, rolling down the window and removing a ridiculously heavy metal box from the post.

Your speaker, technically one per car, was made from some mysteriously heavy pot metal and featured a prong at the top to hang about 300 pounds of speaker (1700 kilograms) on the inside of your window which you then attempted to roll up as far as it would go without breaking the roll-up handle on your car door, or shattering your window itself.

This marvel of technology — the Drive-In theater speaker — had a volume dial at the bottom and when the movie started and the speakers were switched on each and every one of them sounded exactly like a 6 inch (15 decimeter) plastic RCA transistor radio with a cracked speaker at full volume submerged in a bath tub. And there wasn’t a single drive-in theatre in history that didn’t have someone drive off with the speaker still attached to their car. Dragging a broken

But nobody seemed to care about things like speakers, because like I said, nobody was watching or listening anyway. We were all much too involved in deep conversation with members of the opposite gender, or if you went to the drive in with your buddies, you spent most of the time hiking over to the concession building or skulking around spying in on various cars. Especially the ones with steamed up windows.

What got me thinking about those delirious drivein days was an article in the news recently that described a special drive-in theatre experience being celebrated in Paris, France, of all places. There’s a lavish 100 year old exhibition hall there called the Grand Palais (which is French for “big honkin’ palace”) and someone got the bright idea to put a drivein theatre right inside the Big Honkin’ Palace.

Thing is, you don’t even have to bring your car!

Not only is the huge screen there, but the Paris people also have thoughtfully provided the cars too.

A whole palace full of little Fiat 500 automobiles are there for the taking, which doesn’t sound like all that much fun on account of there’s hardly any room in those tiny cars if you get my drift.

And no 300 pound crackling muffled incomprehensible drive-in speaker either. The Grand Palais drive-in patrons receive wireless headphones. The wimps.

Oh, and they also get a nice glass of Champaign.

Which is sort of comparable to our drive-in days when many theater-goers (I’m told) would sneak in a few beverages of their own, hidden in ingenious places in their ’58 Fords and ’63 Pontiacs.

This of course, was in addition to the 17 friends that were hidden in the trunk, sneaking in without paying and who would be surreptitiously freed when it became sufficiently dark. The key to that maneuver was to park along the back rows where nobody could see what you were up to. The back rows of course, were always full.

And speaking of back rows, it was a perfect place for a hearse. Our first band vehicle happened to be a 1951 Buick Hearse. It perfectly fit all the guys in the band plus our equipment (both of which were much smaller then) and it was perfect venue vehicle to house your 17 friends or perhaps seven or eight couples. But we had to park it along the back row, sideways, so the monstrosity wouldn’t block other vehicles’ view, where we could utilize about 6 speakers and the inhabitants of said hearse could sit on the pallbearer jump seats and along the coffin rails looking out the vast side windows. We’d open all the dark purple velvet curtains first of course.

Now you just can’t beat that, even with a big honkin’ palace and dozens of Fiat 500s. Besides, I bet there weren’t too many steamed-up windows at the Paris Palais Drive-In. They wouldn’t want to spill their Champaign.

The chaotic behaviour continued as we began to serve, and for the first time we saw drugs being dealt even when we stood within three feet of them.

These people were immediately ousted and their kitchen privileges suspended for a few weeks.

All of this was really starting to wear on me and those with me, so I retreated into the kitchen itself before I said or did something I would regret later.

Then once I caught my breath, I went back out to the serving area where I once again would greet the different people that come to eat.

Don’t get me wrong; the large majority of the people who come to eat are good, friendly and appreciative people and they make the whole effort worthwhile; it’s just that proverbial few that in any society that make it difficult.

The good people are unique in that when the others are in the process of

creating chaos; these unique individuals make an extra effort to compensate in some way for the actions of the few.

Last night was no exception; in the midst of the chaos created by the few, these others would make an extra effort to say thank you for the meal; they would come and shake our hands and make encouraging comments, striking up a conversation hoping in some way to take our minds off of the troublemakers.

Two ladies in particular, one a diminutive bundle of laughter, and the other a street walker came up to me; gave a big hug and encouraged me to ‘keep on doing what I was doing because it was helping a lot of people’.

So you see, in the midst of chaos, there are those who from a history of suffering and who still suffer, have the presence of mind to offer love and encouragement to someone who for that moment needs that very thing.

It’s a beautiful thing isn’t it?

Trudeau stumbles on learning curve He has no link to Jean Chrétien appointees or the halcyon days of the high-flying Senate under Liberal rule.

But the Liberal leader has had difficulty muscling his way into the debate on the Senate spending scandal, which has largely been a battle between Opposition leader Tom Mulcair and Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

Trudeau is caught in the middle, appearing to advocate something too close to the status quo to be noticed in the TIM debate.

HARPER Part of this is his own making.

As a neophyte leader he is still on a learning curve and at least twice in recent days he has bluntly weighed in on the scandal in interviews that have been unhelpful to him and his party.

But part of his approach is his bet that principle will beat political expediency when it comes to the future of the Senate.

First, the learning curve.

While no one is suggesting the Liberal leader should emulate so many others in this town and tether himself to talking points, he lacks what might be called message discipline.

He was far too enthusiastic about the possibility of welcoming Mac Harb back into his caucus when asked about the senator’s future last weekend by Global’s Tom Clark.

Instead of showing a little caution regarding a Liberal senator who could, according to one report, eventually owe taxpayers as much as $200,000 in wrongly claimed living expenses, Trudeau said he would “absolutely” welcome him back in the fold once his little spending misunderstanding was resolved.

The answer was a mistake and although likely to be forgotten in the long run, in the short run, it knocked the Liberals off their game in the Commons on the Nigel Wright-Mike Duffy affair and clearly caused discomfort in his caucus.

As a neophyte leader, Just Trudeau is still on a learning curve and at least twice in recent days he has bluntly weighed in on the scandal in interviews that have been unhelpful to him and his party.

Tuesday, upon his return to the Commons, Trudeau amended his Harb analysis — “If he’s innocent, he is in. If he’s guilty, he is out.’’

Trudeau also says he was just stating facts when he told La Presse “we” (Quebec) had 24 senators from that province compared to six each from Alberta and British Columbia, so “it’s to our advantage.

To want to abolish it is demagoguery. We’ll have to improve it.’’

It was a statement of fact, but it was a statement that an experienced politician would have known would have backfired in the West, as it did.

Trudeau is prone to verbal meandering, something that led to his widely parsed “root causes” of terrorism remark in the hours following the Boston Marathon bombing.

Senior Liberals are certain Trudeau will learn, and are taking solace in the fact he is learning now, not a week after the election campaign begins.

Trudeau, however, needs to be more clear in belling NDP Leader Tom Muclair, who is preaching the half-century old party doctrine of “abolish, abolish, abolish” when it comes to the Senate, introducing motions to starve the Senate of its funding and riding a wave of public disgust with the spending irregularities in the Red Chamber.

Liberals maintain Mulcair, as a Quebec MP, knows he would never be able to abolish the Senate.

It is Quebec, as Trudeau has pointed out, that is disproportionately represented in the Senate and

would be disproportionately hurt by its abolition.

When Mulcair shouts “abolish,’’ Canadians should hear “constitutional debate,’’ Liberals maintain.

Trudeau, they say, is staying true to his promise of not inflicting another divisive constitutional debate on Canadians.

Those preaching wholesale Senate reform as a response to Wight-Duffy scandal are “pandering,’’ Trudeau says, because “they know, or ought to know,” how withering the constitutional debate on the way to reform would be.

Abolition would hurt Canadians from Ontario eastward, Trudeau says. An elected Senate would hurt the underrepresented West. Opening the Constitution to do either would hurt the country as a whole, he says. Trudeau would take the appointment of senators out of the patronage realm and give a group of Canadians “of good repute” the task of compiling a list of worthy Senate candidates from which the prime minister could choose.

That’s not the status quo, but it is awfully close.

Trudeau is correct to point out the constitutional perils of Senate reform. That is the messy part of abolition, the shiny object now drawing everyone to its light.

But sometimes, rightly or wrongly, political expediency wins the day. As he continues along his learning curve, the temptation to play the expedient game will be tough for Trudeau to resist.

BY MARC-ANDRE GAGNON TROY MEDIA Canada is one of the world’s most expensive countries when it comes to prescription drugs. Per capita, prescription drug costs are on average 50 per cent higher in Canada and had the fastest yearly growth in the last decade than in other developed countries.

Why is this the case?

Canada is one of the rare developed countries in the world without universal pharmacare, and we are the only country in the world with a universal medicare system that excludes prescription drugs (as if pharmaceuticals are not an essential element of medical treatment).

A staggering 10 per cent of Canadians each year cannot fill a prescription due to financial reasons.

Canadians understand the gaps in our current system and want them addressed. An EKOS poll released recently shows that 78 per cent of Canadians support the implementation of a universal pharmacare program.

Last week, economist Yanick Labrie from the Montreal Economic Institute criticized a conference I co-hosted on universal pharmacare in Ottawa, and published the report, “Wrong Prescription” against cost-containment measures for prescription drugs. Labrie argues that a national drug plan would be bad for Canadians because it would reduce drug costs, thus reducing spending in research and development for new drugs and increase drug shortages.

Private drug plans are touted as solutions because they offer more “generous” coverage.

Labrie should have attended the conference because he would have heard each of these arguments discussed and refuted in turn.

More than 80 per cent of new drugs entering the market today do not represent any therapeutic advance com-

Canada is one of the rare developed countries in the world without universal pharmacare, and we are the only country in the world with a universal medicare system that excludes prescription drugs. pared to existing, cheaper drugs. If we have drug plans reimbursing any new drug, whatever the cost, and even when there are cheaper, equivalent drugs available, do we really provide incentives for drug companies to invest in breakthrough innovation? In fact the opposite occurs: we give them a huge incentive to bring to market reformulations of existing products.

The pharmacy benefit management company Express Script Canada estimates that private drug plans waste $5.3 billion in reimbursements for drugs that do not provide any additional therapeutic benefits compared to existing formulations.

This amount represents 56 per cent of total money spent by private drug

plans. At our conference, an executive from Great-West Life explained that, in their current form, private drug plans are not sustainable. However, it is these wasteful, inefficient and unsustainable drug plans that are touted as the main solution by the Montreal Economic Institute.

In contrast, the universal pharmacare system in the United Kingdom employs market forces in an ingenious way. Through value-based pricing, drug companies get paid according to how much they improve the health outcomes of the population. This creates formidable market incentives for drug companies to focus on therapeutic innovation instead of lavish promotion and copycat drugs.

But would a bulk-purchasing agency for generics create more drug shortages because of lower prices, as Labrie argues? Canada is one of the world’s most expensive countries for generics and we pay, on average, twice as much for the same generic drug in Canada as the United States.

Following Labrie’s logic, because we pay more Canada should be less afflicted by drug shortages than countries with universal pharmacare and bulk-purchasing capacities. In fact, we observe exactly the opposite pattern.

Countries that have introduced bulk-purchasing powers use their buying clout to make sure tenders on specific drugs include clauses to avoid the possibility of drug shortages.

In an era of global mergers and acquisitions and growing concentration among generic manufacturers, bulkpurchasing is another smart way to use market forces to decrease costs and ensure stable supply.

When it comes to prescription drugs, Canada’s current system is plagued by massive waste, massive costs and plenty of people unable to afford their drugs.

Universal pharmacare does not mean an “open bar” for everybody, it means leveraging buying power and using market forces in order to contain drug costs, achieve sustainability and improve the health outcomes of the population.

Economist Bob Evans recently described the main obstacle for the implementation of universal pharmacare in Canada: “Anyone’s spending is somebody else’s income. Universal pharmacare could save billions to Canadians, so there are powerful corporate interests that will do everything they can to make sure it does not happen.”

Presidential election offers window into Iran

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Iranian women cast their ballots for the presidential election, in a polling station in Tehran, Iran, Friday. clear envoy, Hasan Rowhani.

A preliminary sampling of results from around Iran suggested Rowhani’s appeal was broad in cities and rural areas, although the tally was too small to draw clear trends, officials handling the ballot count told The Associated Press. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief media.

But even if the last-moment surge around Rowhani brings him to the presidency, it would be more of a limited victory than a deep shake-up. Iran’s establishment — a tight alliance of the ruling clerics and the ultra-powerful Revolutionary Guard — still holds

all the effective power and sets the agenda on all major decisions such as Iran’s nuclear program and its dealings with the West.

Security forces also are in firm control after waves of arrests and relentless pressures since the last presidential election in 2009, which unleashed massive protests over claims the outcome was rigged to keep the combative Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in power for a second and final term. He is barred from seeking a third consecutive run.

The greater comfort level by the theocracy and Revolutionary Guard sets a different tone this time. Opposition groups appear too intimidated and

Gunman in U.S. shooting a Somali immigrant with anger after divorce

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ST. LOUIS — A businessman who killed three employees in Missouri before turning the gun on himself was a Somali immigrant, described by friends as an intelligent man who was quick to reach out to other new-arriving Somalis, but who had lingering anger years after the divorce from his first wife.

Police say 59-year-old Ahmed Dirir walked into his business, AK Home Health Care LLC, on Thursday afternoon, got into a brief argument, and then shot his three employees. Killed were 44-year-old Khadra Muse, 29-yearold Seaeed Abdulla and 54-year-old

The home health agency was headquartered in a small business incubator building in a revitalizing mixedrace neighbourhood south of downtown St. Louis.

Police Capt. Michael Sack said Dirir used a semi-automatic handgun. Video surveillance showed what appeared to be a verbal dispute, followed a short time later by shots.

TEHRAN, Iran — Reform-minded Iranians who have faced years of crackdowns looked Friday to claw back a bit of ground in a presidential election that gave them an unexpected hero and a chance to upend a vote that once appeared solidly in the hands of Tehran’s ruling clerics.

While Iran’s presidential elections offer a window into the political pecking orders and security grip inside the country — particularly since the chaos from a disputed outcome in 2009 — they lack the drama of truly high stakes as the country’s ruling clerics and their military guardians remain the ultimate powers.

Election officials began the ballot count after voters waited on line for hours in wilting heat at some polling stations in downtown Tehran and other cities, while others cast ballots across the vast country from desert outposts to Gulf seaports and nomad pastures. Voting was extended by five hours to meet demand, but also as possible political stagecraft to showcase the participation.

The apparent strong turnout suggested liberals and others abandoned a planned boycott as the election was transformed into a showdown across the Islamic Republic’s political divide.

On one side were hard-liners looking to cement their control behind candidates such as nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili, who says he is “100 per cent” against detente with Iran’s foes, or Tehran’s mayor, Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf.

Opposing them were reformists and others rallying behind the “purple wave” campaign of the lone relative moderate left in the race, a former nu-

fragmented to revive street demonstrations, and even a win by Rowhani — the only cleric in the race — would not likely be perceived as a threat to the ruling structure.

Rowhani led the influential Supreme National Security Council and was given the highly sensitive nuclear envoy role in 2003, a year after Iran’s 20-year-old atomic program was revealed.

“Rowhani is not an outsider and any gains by him does not mean the system is weak or that there are serious cracks,” said Rasool Nafisi, an Iranian affairs analyst at Strayer University in Virginia. “The ruling system has made sure that no one on the ballot is going to shake things up.”

Yet a Rowhani victory would not be entirely without significance either. It would make room for more moderate voices in Iranian political dialogue and display their resilience. It also would bring onto the world stage an Iranian president who has publicly endorsed more outreach rather than bombast toward the West.

The last campaign events for Rowhani carried chants that had been bottled up for years.

Some supporters called for the release of political prisoners including opposition leaders Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mahdi Karroubi, both candidates in 2009 and now under house arrest. “Long live reforms,” some cried at Rowhani’s last rally. The rally was awash in purple banners and scarves — the campaign’s signature hue in a nod to the single-colour identity of Mousavi’s Green Movement.

“My mother and I both voted for Rowhani,” said Saeed Joorabchi, a university student in geography, after casting ballots at a mosque in west Tehran.

Life as a cadet DEBBIE OLSEN TRIES HER HAND AT TRAINING TO BE AN RCMP OFFICER AND ENDS UP DOING A LOT OF PUSH-UPS

Photos by DEBBIE OLSEN/Freelance

Top: A cadet troop demonstrating proper marching technique. Marching properly is harder than it looks.

Until a troop learns to march properly, they have to shuffle around the base doing “double time.” It’s a big motivator to learn to march properly.

Above: Our drill instructor said that “push-ups are not part of Drill Hall instruction, they are part of screwups.” Let’s just say that I did a lot of push-ups.

couple of days and I managed to score a spot in the group.

As I check into Depot, my home for the next two days, I receive a blue duffle bag with a pair of snug fitting navy pants, a cadet uniform shirt, cotton gym shorts, a white T-shirt and a karategi for mixed martial arts training. We have only a few minutes to settle into our room before we are due at our first class — Simulation and Judgmental Training.

Simulators are some of the latest technology in police training and that is what our first class is all about. Using actual police encounters, computer programs lead cadets through situations where deadly force may be warranted. There are also simulators designed to teach techniques for defensive driving and high-speed chase situations.

As I buckle myself into the driving simulator, Corporal Blaine Landry explains the purpose of the exercise. “You are not here to learn how to drive,” he explains. “You are here to learn how to drive like an officer.” I try three different driving simulations and do well until I reach the fourth

and most difficult scenario involving a high speed driving situation. Things are going well until I hit an unfortunate pedestrian, spin out and disable the vehicle. Corporal Landry raises a disapproving eyebrow and I realize that I will need a few more lessons before I will be able to drive like an officer.

The next simulator relates to the use of deadly force. Corporal Landry explains that these simulators give cadets a feel for what it is like to use handguns, pepper spray and other weapons in simulated situations long before they have to use such devices in real life.

More importantly, they can practice various techniques for defusing a situation before it becomes deadly. I am standing beside Corporal Landry when he asks for volunteers, so naturally I am the first up. Turns out I am actually pretty good at the firearms simulator — when it is set at the easiest level.

Some alternatives to pricey Alaska cruise shore excursions JUNEAU, Alaska — It’s cruise season in Alaska, with more than 1 million cruise passengers expected between April and September in port towns from Ketchikan to Seward.

Cruise passengers who sign up for shore excursions can spend hundreds of dollars, if not more in the case of families, in each port they visit.

Taking a helicopter to see Juneau-area ice fields can easily run $1,000 for a family of four for a one-hour trip.

A nature tour near the tiny town of Ketchikan can run $89 for adults and $50 for kids.

But there are many low-cost and even free things to do in Alaska port towns, from hiking to exploring glaciers to learning about Alaska and Native culture.

Here are some ideas from some of Alaska’s most visited ports.

Just remember: Your ship won’t wait for you if you run late from an outing you’ve organized on your own, so allow plenty of time to get back to port for your ship departure.

KETCHIKAN This southeast Alaska town is now known more for tourism than for its once-thriving timber industry.

But timber workers’ skills can still be admired at the Great Alaskan Lumberjack Show, $35 (kids 3-12, $17.50) plus tax. Historic Creek Street, once a red-light district, now houses shops, galleries, restaurants and Dolly’s House Museum, former home of madam Dolly Arthur, where visitors can learn about Ketchikan’s bawdy past for a $5 admission.

Off Creek Street along Married Man’s Trail, you can catch the salmon running in the creek from mid-July into September.

Free downtown shuttle buses stop near the docks.

SITKA A must-see in this stunning town is the Sitka National Historical Park. A national monument, it commemorates the 1804 Battle of Sitka between the Tlingit Indians and Russians. To-

tems — many of them replicas — are scattered along the park’s two-mile (3.2-kilometre) wooded trail. There’s also a visitor centre, where you can see Native artists working, and the Russian Bishop’s House, which the park service says is one of the last surviving examples of Russian colonial architecture in North America. The house tour is $4 (free for kids under 16).

JUNEAU Alaska’s capital has a walkable downtown with museums, shops, easy access to trails and the state capitol, which offers free tours. The popular three-mile (4.8-kilometre) Perseverance Trail is within walking distance from the port, though it requires a jaunt up steep streets.

The trail, which forms a spine for a network of trails, features scattered exhibits on the region’s mining history, along with stunning views of rushing water, waterfalls and mountains.

You’ll likely see birds — possibly a bald eagle — and maybe even a mountain goat, black bear or porcupine. The trail is steep and narrow in sections and can be hot in the sun, so bring water.

Hikers also can try the Mount Roberts Trail, though it’s an uphill trudge, muddy and mucky in spots. You can take the Mount Roberts Tram down for $10, or $31 round-trip (kids 6-12, $15.50).

Another popular destination is Mendenhall Glacier, reachable by bus. The $16 roundtrip rides, offered by MGT Blue Glacier Express, run every halfhour, 9 a.m.-6 p.m. most days during the summer season. Hikes near the glacier include an easy stroll to Nugget Falls.

SEWARD Seward is a final stop for some Alaska cruises, and many disembarking passengers head straight to Anchorage, 110 miles (177 kilometres) away, by bus or train. But there are plenty of reasons to spend a day or more here.

A free shuttle runs every day in summer, taking people along a circuit from the cruise ship terminal to the chamber of commerce office to downtown. If you have time, rent a car or hire

Merion stumps players JOSE REYES

REYES IMPROVING ARLINGTON, Texas — Blue Jays shortstop Jose Reyes played in a simulated game Friday and may start a rehab assignment next week.

Reyes played two innings and had three plate appearances at Toronto’s minor league complex in Dunedin, Fla., and manager John Gibbons said Reyes also did some sliding drills afterward.

The four-time All-Star sprained his left ankle April 12 sliding into second on a stolen base attempt. Gibbons said Reyes could start a rehab assignment Monday in Dunedin. In his first season with Toronto, Reyes is hitting .395 with five RBIs and five stolen bases.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ARDMORE, Pa. — Phil Mickelson made his first birdie on his last putt. Billy Horschel never missed a green. It was all they could do to barely break par against Merion, which is turning out to be the real star of this U.S. Open.

Nearly half the field did not finish the second round when it was suspended by darkness.

Moments after the horn sounded to stop play, Mickelson opted to finish his round and drilled a 20-foot birdie putt for a 2-over 72. That gave him a share of the clubhouse lead with Horschel, who made it as easy as possible by hitting every green in regulation for a 67.

They were at 1-under 139.

Even with the round not finished, it was becoming clear that this U.S. Open might be up for grabs until the very end. Tiger Woods, who grimaced with every shot out of the rough because of pain in his left elbow, was at 3-over 143 and still very much in the game.

“I don’t know how anyone is going to separate too far from the field,” Mickelson said. “There might be a hot round tomorrow, and they might get a hot round on Sunday, but unlikely to be the same player.”

No one was hotter than Horschel, playing in his first U.S. Open since he was a 19-year-old in college.

Nothing is tougher than Merion, the little course in the tony suburbs of Philadelphia that even in rain-softened conditions is showing plenty of might. And to think there was chatter at the start of the week

Phil Mickelson reacts after his birdie putt on the 18th hole during the second round of the U.S. Open golf tournament at Merion Golf Club, Friday in Ardmore, Pa. about the potential for the first 62 in major championship history.

“Perhaps next time you guys will believe when we say it’s really not that easy, that it’s really not that easy,” Geoff Ogilvy said after a 70.

That put him at 4-over 144, which gave him and dozens of others a legitimate shot going into the weekend.

Luke Donald (72), Justin Rose (69) and Steve Stricker (69) were at even-par 140.

The surprise were a pair of amateurs — Michael Kim of Cal and Cheng-Tsung Pan of Taiwan. They were 2 under for their round and among those who didn’t finish.

Mike Weir of Brights

Grove, Ont., is 5 over through 10 holes. His second round included a birdie, two bogeys, and a double-bogey before play was halted.

STANLEY CUP

Crawford, Rask finally earning recognition THE CANADIAN PRESS CHICAGO — Corey Crawford has never been considered an elite goaltender. Even as the Chicago Blackhawks dominated the NHL this season, he wasn’t the centre of attention on a team featuring Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane.

Tuukka Rask was in net when the Boston Bruins blew a 3-0 series lead to the Philadelphia Flyers in 2010 and then had a great seat on the bench a year later when Tim Thomas led them to a Stanley Cup. With Thomas gone, the starting job was his.

Now the young goalies are across the ice from each other in the Cup final, and in the spotlight, getting the kind of attention usually reserved for the best in the world.

“Right now we have

a battle of two goaltenders that are at the peak of their game,” Bruins coach Claude Julien said.

It’s particularly a remarkable ascent for Crawford, who was once considered a weak link on the Blackhawks’ talented roster. During the regular season he was tied for third in the NHL with a 1.94 goals-against average and tied for fifth with a .926 save percentage as the Blackhawks captured the Presidents’ Trophy. In the playoffs his numbers are even better (1.73 and .936), and he’s a major reason why Chicago is here, up 1-0 on the Bruins.

“Obviously having a good goaltender can give the whole team a lot of confidence,” defenceman Duncan Keith said.

“He’s been great all playoffs and all season long. He definitely gives

Recognition starts with Crawford being respected as one of the better goalies in the league.

But it doesn’t end there.

Now there is some buzz about Crawford being an option for Canada’s Olympic team in Sochi in 2014, given the uncertainty surrounding the position and his strong performance this

spring.

There are lingering questions about Carey Price, Roberto Luongo, Cam Ward, Marc-Andre Fleury and others, but the fact that Crawford is even being touted as a possibility for Canada makes Toews happy.

“I certainly think he deserves it,” said Toews, who helped lift Canada to a gold medal at the 2010 Games in Vancouver. “I feel like, to get to

that level, you need to have some sort of name in the media and have people know who you are. If they didn’t really before, I think everyone knows who Corey Crawford is now and the influence and the effect he’s had on our team all season and in this Cup run that we’ve had.”

GM Feaster says Flames “have to win” at draft, in free agency THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — It’s a pivotal month for the Calgary Flames.

General manager Jay Feaster has three firstround selections among his nine at the NHL entry draft June 30 in Newark, N.J. According to capgeek. com, Calgary currently has about $19 million in cap space — $5.8 million more if goaltender Miikka Kiprusoff retires — to work with when un-

restricted free agency opens July 5.

The Flames have not made the playoffs in four years, so there is considerable pressure on Feaster to maximize these opportunities and turn the team around.

“I don’t know that it’s feeling the pressure as much as it is recognizing the importance of it,” Feaster said Friday at Scotiabank Saddledome.

“The importance of this draft is not lost on the organization and it certainly isn’t lost on the

management of the organization.”

Calgary has the tools and the motivation to be a mover and a shaker both at the draft and in free agency.

Other than the two teams currently involved in the Stanley Cup final, competition between NHL clubs moves off the ice into scouting and negotiations. It’s no less intense, says Feaster.

“There’s no question it’s big-time competition off the ice,” Feaster said.

“Yes, as a franchise, we

have to win.

“I feel very good about our preparedness level.”

Calgary has the No. 6 pick via the draft lottery as well as No. 22 and No. 28 from trading Jarome Iginla to Pittsburgh and Jay Bouwmeester to St. Louis this past season.

“We have had extensive conversations with teams about moving up into the top five in the draft,” Feaster said.

“We at least know which teams are willing to do something and if they are, what it would take to

do that, and also which teams are not willing to do that.

“The one thing I believe with the pick at six, we want to get a player who has the opportunity to come in here right now and compete for a job. We really like this draft. We think at 22 and 28, we’re going to be happy with the players who are still on the board.”

This will be Feaster’s third draft as GM of the Flames.

Daines family enjoys success

BY DIANNE FINSTAD SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE The Daines family has a proud history in the sport of rodeo, and patriarch Jack Daines was bursting with pride Friday night after a stellar, if surprising, double header of family success in the second performance of the Innisfail Pro Rodeo.

His nephew Denver kicked it off in the saddle bronc riding when he nodded his head and spurred like the wind, to move out in front by half a point.

The 82.5 mar came with the assistance of a horse called Devils Who. Daines made the Canadian Finals last November, largely on his big Ponoka Stampede championship. But he’d only been on one bronc this spring, busy with his work as a personal trainer, and with his blossoming music career. But he couldn’t pass up his hometown show, and it looked like a wise decision after the classy ride.

“I worked out hard, but I didn’t think riding eight seconds was that hard again,” puffed Daines, moments after receiving the $100 bonus cheque for high mark of the night. “I think it’s the adrenaline and everything else going on. I feel good, though.”

“I had a tough beginning of the year with music and everything. I haven’t had a chance to get on many. I just really wanted to come here and show everyone I could still ride, and I’m still a cowboy – I haven’t faded out yet. I’m just glad to be here, especially at my hometown rodeo, and to come out on top makes a guy feel good.”

Between developing his music career and his work, and still wanting to ride broncs, Daines finds himself with divided loyalties.

“It’s a lifestyle someone could only dream of, but I’m torn between the two. I go where I can, and I ride as hard as I can, but it’s hard not to put your whole heart and soul into everything. I’m trying to do both.

It’s fun and I love it to death, but it’s challenging,” he admitted.

Daines will put away his bronc saddle and tune up his guitar to entertain at the rodeo dance at the Ranch tonight.

Denver Daines of Innisfail puts in a winning ride Friday in the saddle bronc event at the 53rd Annual Daines Ranch Professional Rodeo.

Then a few events after the bronc riding Friday night, Cheryl Daines, Duane’s wife and Jack’s daughter-in-law, came blazing into the arena in the barrel racing, and took over top spot in that evening with a time of 15.640 seconds. She hadn’t been competing much this spring, so was shocked at her success.

“Flame is the story,” the school teacher from Innisfail. “He’s just an amazing horse and it doesn’t seem to matter who gets on him. He fires, and he’s phenomenal.”

“I actually went to Camrose (in March) and knocked a barrel to win it. My daughter Sydney has been high school rodeoing with him. He’s our only barrel horse, so she gets precedence with him. I thought I should enter our hometown rodeo, though, and so far it’s really worked out good.”

The nine-year-old sorrel was revved up before the run, with some loud motorcycles going up and down the road behind the ranch attracting his attention.

“He just went crazy. He’s really spooky. He’s just a lot of horse. He’s scared of flags, he’s scared of cows.

I was worried because he was so scared of the motorcycles, just before my run. But that’s what’s amazing about him. He can really be hot out behind, but once you come down the alley, he’s so focused. He knows his job, and it’s easy for him.”

Flame will get a chance to do it again today, when Sydney Daines runs him.

Duane Daines was pretty proud up in the announcer’s stand, as he presented his wife with the flowers given for the fastest racer each night.

“We’ll have to go dancing tonight,” he grinned.

There were other leader changes Friday night as well. Red Deer based Cole Collins moved in front in the bull riding, with an outstanding 87.5 point ride on a bull called Brahma Boots.

“He just went to spinning right away, like they said he would,” stated Collins. “He’s a pretty fast little bull, but good to ride. It was the one I needed for here, I guess. It feels pretty good to do good here at Innisfail.”

There’s now a tie for first in bareback riding, with Reid Rowan of Seven Persons equalling the 85 posted opening night by Matt Lait. Rowan rode a horse called True Grit.

“That’s a sweetheart of a bucking horse,” he commented. “He probably looks like he’s quite a bit harder than he actually is. That’s one of those ‘feel good, rare back and have fun while you’re doing it’ horses.”

In steer wrestling, Casey Lawes of Provost remains the fast man with his 4.4 second run, while the tie-down roping time to beat is still 7.4 seconds, posted by Texans Randall Carlisle, Barrett Threadgill and Tyson Durfey. The fast team ropers are Chase Simpson and Brady Davies, with their 4.5 second time.

Daniel Gratton of Sundre leads the novice saddle bronc, while Tanner Young of Fairview is the high man in novice bareback riding. Kagen Schmidt of Barrhead has a 73 to lead steer riding.

There are two performances today, at 1:00 pm and 6:00 pm at the Daines Ranch, with the final performance Sunday afternoon at 1:00 pm.

Constantine re-introduced as Everett’s head coach

BY NICK PATTERSON EVERETT HERALD WRITER EVERETT — The doors to the Edward D. Hansen Conference Center opened, and when the man stepped through the doorway, the awaiting crowd rose to its feet for a raucous standing ovation.

To many in Snohomish County, Kevin Constantine is the living embodiment of hockey. Now the Everett Silvertips are banking on Constantine rekindling the magic of the past.

The first and greatest coach in Silvertips history is coming home as he was re-introduced as Everett’s head coach Thursday afternoon.

The news that Constantine was headed back to Everett leaked earlier this week, so those who attended Thursday’s press conference, which was open to the public, came to show the popularity of Constantine being chosen the team’s new head coach.

“It was a nice welcome back,” Constantine said.

“It feels good (to return to Everett). It’s an opportu-

GOLF: Course could get tougher Mackenzie Hughes of Dundas, Ont., and David Hearn of Brantford, Ont., are over the projected cut line of 7 over as it stands. Both sit at 9 over but have time to recover — Hughes has played nine holes in his second round, while Hearn is through 10. Calgary’s Ryan Yip is 11 over for the tournament through 16 holes, while Adam Hadwin of Abbotsford, B.C., finished his second round at 16-over 157.

The long day, brought on by storm delays on Thursday, began with cool conditions and patches of light rain that eventually gave way to sunshine.

That led players to wonder how much tougher Merion will be once it starts to dry out.

“It’s not as easy as people think,” defending champion Webb Simpson said after a 75 put him six shots behind the clubhouse lead. “I heard 15, 16 under floating around. And it’s going to be a normal U.S. Open winning score, I think.”

Horschel hit all 18 greens in regulation, a stellar achievement at a regular tour event, let alone the U.S. Open.

It sent USGA officials searching for hours to find the last time anyone failed to miss a green in the toughest test in golf. Records of that detail only go back as far as 1989. That last documentation of someone doing that was Johnny Miller when he closed with a 63 at Oakmont to win in 1973.

David Graham used his putter on every hole — three from the fringe — when he shot 67 to win the 1981 U.S. Open at Merion.

“I didn’t know I hit every green until I walked off 18,” Horschel said. “It’s a cool thing. But like I said, it’s not the first time I’ve hit all 18 greens. I’ve done it plenty of times in my career.

Obviously, it’s at a U.S. Open, but I think the softness of the greens helped that.”

NHL: Consistent Crawford, from Chateauguay, Que., has never played for Canada in international competition. He said he has never even got a look at a selection camp. That all could change, especially if he helps Chicago to a championship.

“I’m worried about winning a Stanley Cup right now,” Crawford said. “Obviously that would be a huge honour. But right now there are other things to take care of.”

The Blackhawks are three victories away from hoisting the Cup and that has a lot to do with Crawford’s stellar play. Coach Joel Quenneville praise the 26-year-old’s consistency, and sev-

way to the WHL finals.

The success continued to pile up for Constantine and the Tips. In Constantine’s four seasons in Everett the Tips won three U.S. Division championships, as well as the Scotty Munro Trophy for the league’s best record in the 2006-07. He won the Dunc McCallum Memorial Trophy in 2004 as the WHL’s Coach of the Year. He departed in 2007 having compiled a 16297-20-9 record, and he remains the winningest coach in franchise history.

Constantine spent the past six years coaching in the professional ranks. After leaving Everett he spent three seasons as the head coach of the American Hockey League’s Houston Aeros, the affiliate of the NHL’s Minnesota Wild. After compiling a 117-9411-18 with the Aeros his contract was not renewed.

Then in 2010 he took over the reins of HC AmbriPiotta in Switzerland. Ambri-Piotta went 30-57-5-7 in parts of three seasons under Constantine, and he was fired early last season after the team won just two of its first 14 games. He remained with the team the rest of the season as a consultant.

eral teammates lauded him for being even-keeled amid chaos in the tripleovertime Game 1 victory.

Being poised in that situation is a testament to how far Crawford has come.

“Had to answer a lot of questions this year going into the season: What about our goaltending?” Quenneville said. “We said we’re very comfortable with Corey. Think he’s got the capability of being a top goalie in the league.”

Yet for so long Crawford hasn’t been thought of as even a top-10 goalie.

Asked why he has constantly been overlooked, Toews and Crawford had the same response: “I don’t know. You tell me.”

Rask hasn’t had to overcome a lack of respect. Instead, his job has been to follow Thomas, who was far and away the top reason the Bruins won it all in 2011. Now the 26-year-old Finnish netminder is earning his own Conn Smythe Trophy talk.

“He’s been rock solid all season, all playoffs, has been keeping us in hockey games a lot of nights,” defenceman Dennis Seidenberg said. “It’s nice to have him as your last backbone.”

Rask had to forget about past struggles, especially the playoff loss to the Flyers as a 23-year-old. That’s a distant memory now as he’s at the centre of the Bruins’ playoff run.

“I don’t think it surprises any of us that he’s at that elite level,” Bruins forward Daniel Paille said. “I think we should consider ourselves fortunate that we have a goalie like that.”

FLAMES: Rebuild Calgary traded their 14th pick last year and dropped to No. 21 to gain a second-rounder. The Flames selected college centre Mark Jankowski in the first round and defenceman Patrick Sieloff at No. 42.

Calgary chose left-winger Sven Baertschi at No. 13 in 2011. Baertschi had three goals and seven assists in 20 games for the Flames and spent the rest of the lockout-shortened season with their AHL team in Abbotsford, B.C. The Flames haven’t had multiple first-round picks since 1976, when the Flames took defenceman Dave Shand at No. 8 and forward Harold Phillipoff at No. 10 Calgary’s current needs are size and talent at centre, more size on their third defensive pairing, plus a shooting right-winger to replace Iginla, Feaster said.

“We have to get bigger and we have to get harder to play against,” the GM said.

Feaster fought the term “rebuild” as he traded away the team’s captain and top defenceman during the season. He joked Friday that via “therapy” he’s accepted that rebuilding is what Flames are doing. His intention, however, is to make that process as short and as painless as possible.

nity to coach and I really love coaching, it was fun being here last time. It’s unusual in sports to go back to a franchise, so it’s kind of nice to get that opportunity to go back, so I’m very excited.

“I only looked at two coaching opportunities, but this was the only thing I really looked at,” Constantine added. “I think that alone is evidence that I was very comfortable if given the chance to come back.

There wasn’t much that interested me a lot besides coming back here.”

Constantine becomes the sixth head coach in franchise history. He succeeds general manager Garry Davidson, who served as interim coach after Mark Ferner was fired in January.

Constantine became a living legend in Everett during his first stint with the Tips. He arrived in Everett with a strong pedigree, having spent seven seasons as a head coach in the NHL with the San Jose Sharks, Pittsburgh Penguins and New Jersey Devils.

He then performed the unthinkable during Everett’s first season in 2003-04, as the Tips set every record imaginable for an expansion team and went all the

MacLean wins coach of the year

Toronto 8 Texas 0 ARLINGTON, Texas — Mark Buehrle threw seven shutout innings, Colby Rasmus and J.P. Arencibia homered, and the Toronto Blue Jays handed the Texas Rangers their fourth straight loss, 8-0 on Friday night.

Buehrle (3-4) improved to 13-5 against the Rangers.

The left-hander gave up four singles and equaled his season high with seven strikeouts to win his first road game of the year.

Rasmus hit a three-run shot in the fourth, and Arencibia capped the inning with a solo shot as the Blue Jays won for the sixth time in eight games.

Texas starter Justin Grimm (5-5) allowed 10 hits and seven runs in 7 2-3 innings. The rookie is 0-2 with an 11.66 ERA in his last three starts.

Texas has scored only five runs in its slide, its longest since another four-game skid from July 3-6, 2012.

The Rangers’ frustration over the lack of offence boiled over in the sixth inning when shortstop Elvis Andrus was ejected after being called out on strikes by umpire Eric Cooper.

Andrus yelled at Cooper from the dugout, and a bat was tossed onto the field after the shortstop was tossed.

The 2 hour, 8 minute game ended when Lance Berkman grounded into a double play, the Rangers’ third of the game. It was the quickest game played at Texas since May 23, 2011.

Jays club slumping Rangers 8-0

“Since then I really worked on every little part of my game that I could.”

Beat by Toews for Selke, Bergeron still got an award Friday, given the King Clancy for his humanitarian work. Tampa Bay Lightning right-winger Marty St. Louis won his third Lady Byng Memorial Trophy for sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct.

St. Louis already won the Art Ross Trophy by finishing the 48-game season with an NHL-best 60 points.

Ray Shero of the Pittsburgh Penguins was named general manager of the year, and Minnesota Wild goaltender Josh Harding, who battled back after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in the offseason, got the Bill Masterton Memorial trophy for perseverance.

On a much different scale, MacLean showed plenty of perseverance in getting the job as Senators coach. The long-time assistant wondered if he had passed the expiration date for becoming an NHL head coach.

But experience kept MacLean from being “overwhelmed” by anything this season, and a berth in the playoffs provided validation that was only furthered by being coach of the year.

“I just think that sticking to it and still believing in what I did as an assistant coach has helped me now that I get the opportunity to be the head coach,” MacLean said. “This kind of gives us credibility that all those times when I was thinking that I could do this that now this kind of gives me the credibility that I was right, I could coach in the league.”

48845F15,17

CHICAGO — Paul MacLean didn’t want to take too much credit when accepting the Jack Adams Award as the NHL’s coach of the year. He called himself a “representative” of a lot of other peoples’ hard work around the Ottawa Senators.

But amid injuries to Norris Trophy-winning defenceman Erik Karlsson, centre Jason Spezza and goaltender Craig Anderson, it was MacLean who held it all together as the Senators managed to make the playoffs.

“For me it was important that I continue to set the expectations of the team at a high level but also be realistic about those expectations,” MacLean said. “We had Erik Paul MacLean Karlsson injured, we had Jason Spezza injured. We didn’t have those two players playing in Binghamton. For us to expect someone to come up and be able to be those two players is not realistic and it’s not fair to the players.

“We try to stay as real as we could game-by-game and give the players realistic expectations and a realistic way to play the game to have success.”

Despite losing Spezza for all but five games and Karlsson for all but 17, the Senators had success in the form of a 56-point season. MacLean credited captain Daniel Alfredsson, the winner of the Mark Messier Leadership Award, along with Chris Phillips, Sergei Gonchar and Chris Neil, for providing a veteran presence given plenty of adversity.

When the injury bug started to become an epidemic for the Senators, MacLean first wondered, “Who’s next?” Then, the 55-year-old did some impressive coaching.

“That’s what good teams do is find a way to win,” he said. “So we were challenged early in the season to find ways to win and I think our leadership group accepted that, and the quality of our young players that we were able to bring up accepted that.”

Ottawa won with Kyle Turris as its leading scorer and players like defenceman Patrick Wiercioch and forward Mika Zibanejad playing major roles.

MacLean also credited Anderson for his impressive season, along with young goalies Robin Lehner and Ben Bishop.

The Chicago Blackhawks didn’t have to deal with as much adversity this season in large part to the play of captain Jonathan Toews, who captured the Frank J. Selke Trophy as the league’s top defensive forward.

“It means the world,” Toews said. “It’s a tremendous feeling, I think, first of all, when you’re mentioned in the same sentence after a full NHL season as guys like Pavel Datsyuk and Patrice Bergeron. To be able to go head-to-head with guys like that in the playoffs and to know them from the past, you understand how much they mean to their teams and how much they contribute offensively and defensively.”

Toews narrowly beat Bergeron of the Boston Bruins to win his first Selke Trophy, after a season in which he won 59.9 per cent of his faceoffs and had a plus-28 rating. The 25-year-old centre pointed to his time at Shattuck-St. Mary’s under coach Tom Ward as the point when he became a strong two-way player.

“I really understood the importance of playing good hockey on both ends of the rink,” Toews said.

CFL

BRIEFS Kicker O’Neill leads Lions to 29-27 win over Stamps Hugh O’Neill kicked five field goals for the B.C. Lions in a 29-27 CFL preseason win over the Calgary Stampeders on Friday.

His winning field goal from 46 yards at 13:47 of the fourth quarter bounced off the crossbar and over for the victory.

The CFL tuneup was both a preview of the regular-season opener for both clubs and a rematch of the 2012 West Division final, which the Stampeders won to earn a berth in the Grey Cup. B.C.’s Korey Williams scored on a 105-yard kickoff return and Nick Moore caught a touchdown pass from Thomas DeMarco for the visitors.

Calgary backup quarterback Kevin Glenn threw touchdown passes to Mo Price and Khalil Paden. Running back Jonathan Williams scored on a oneyard dive to give the hosts the lead with six and a half minutes remaining in the game. Stampeders kicker Rene Paredes contributed a pair of field goals.

Lions No. 1 quarterback Travis Lulay played a fraction of the first quarter before giving way to backups DeMarco, Chris Hart and Joey Elliott.

Lulay completed two of five passes for 13 yards.

DeMarco was 6-for-12 for 68 yards and a touchdown. Hart was 1-for-6 for two yards and Elliott made two passes

for 14 yards.

Calgary rotated starter Drew Tate, Glenn and Bo Levi Mitchell through the game with third-stringer Mitchell working the majority of the second half.

Tate made two of five passes for seven yards in the first quarter. Glenn was 7-for-10 for a pair of touchdown passes and one interception in the second quarter. Mitchell was 8-for-11 and 103 yards. Ryan Perilloux had one throw for three yards.

Roughriders score two late TDs in win over Eskimos EDMONTON — Craig Newman’s 57-yard interception return for a touchdown with 25 seconds left in the fourth quarter capped a late rally by the Roughriders on Friday as Saskatchewan scored a 31-24 come-frombehind victory over the Edmonton Eskimos in CFL pre-season play.

After Riders quarterback Tino Sunseri hit DeDe Dorsey for a TD on third and goal from the Eskimos one-yard line to tie the game 24-24 with 54 seconds left, Newman picked off a deflected pass by Edmonton pivot Jonathan Crompton on the ensuing drive and raced in for the decisive points.

Drew Willy got the start at quarterback for Saskatchewan and engineered a scoring drive on the Riders’ first possession as Chris Milo nailed a 40-yard field goal six minutes in.

Edmonton went up 7-3 with three minutes to play in the opening quarter when Don Oramasionwu popped a ball loose from Riders receiver Taj Smith.

Eskimos defensive back Marcel Young scooped up the loose ball and galloped 58 yards into the end zone.

LACOMBE

A thousand people could be shakin’ it this month to raise money to build a performing arts centre in Lacombe.

The All That Jazz Dance Studio is hosting an outdoor dance exercise event on Saturday, June 22, at the Lacombe Athletic Park to benefit two local causes. Proceeds from the 11 a.m. Shakin’ It For the Arts event will go towards efforts by the Lacombe Performing Arts Centre Foundation to build a new performing space in the city — and also to help finance a July trip by dancers from the studio to perform at Disney World in Florida.

While foundation president Grant Harder has no fundraising goals in mind, he hopes the event attracts 1,000 people, “from age eight to 98” to get some fun exercise

while supporting the causes.

Community groups, including the All That Jazz Dance Studio, have been pushing to build a new performing arts centre in Lacombe for some time. A needs assessment done by consultants concluded that constructing an acoustically excellent, “but not too ambitious” performing arts centre is feasible.

Since then, the foundation has asked the Wolf Creek School District to lease some land for the project.

Sandi Stewart, recreation and culture manager for the city, said the aim would be to have the school district lease some land to the city, which could then sub-lease it to the foundation for the centre’s construction. Discussions are ongoing.

Harder believes the performing arts centre will eventually be constructed in partnership with the local Children’s Resource Centre Group, which also needs new space for a day care centre, after-school care, Lacombe Parent Link Centre, and Family and Community Support Services.

Having a performing arts centre under the same roof as services for children makes sense to Harder. “It’s a great way of allowing kids to get involved with the arts,” through music or art classes in the complex, he said.

The next step will be getting community feedback, then embarking on the design and costing stage, he added.

Tickets to the Shakin’ It For the Arts event are $10 in advance from Sunny 94 radio station in Lacombe, Altered Images in Bentley, and Rip’n Ronnie’s Fitness in Ponoka. Tickets are $12 at the field. lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

Clinic marks World Blood Day

BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF When Nancy Dillabough was in need of blood, donations provided enough.

She woke up with significant pain in her stomach last summer and had to go in for emergency surgery.

“When I woke up from my surgery my blood pressure was dramatically low,” said Dillabough. “So I needed two units of blood to help my blood pressure get up. Thanks to the generosity and kindness of those who donate blood it saved my life.”

She is thankful for the blood supply that kept her alive in her time of need.

Now she sports a large scar across her stomach from her surgery.

“I’m trying to advocate that it is very important for people to donate blood,” said Dillabough.

After her recovery she decided she wanted to help with Canadian Blood Services, as they were how she managed to stay alive.

Although she is unable to donate herself, she does volunteer at the

blood donor clinic in Red Deer every Monday for about six hours.

Dillabough was at Red Deer’s blood donor clinic Friday handing out cake and carnations to people after they had donated blood.

The presents for the donors were a part of World Blood Day, a day to honour donors, which took place on Friday.

Though Dillabough only needed two units of blood, it can take five to eight donations of blood for one person involved in a serious motor vehicle collision.

Tanya Paul, Canadian Blood Services community co-ordinator, said World Blood Day and the Red Deer event is meant to honour those people who come in and donate on a regular basis.

“As well it is meant to encourage new owners to come in and consider giving blood.”

“It’s our way of giving back to the people who come in and help save lives,” said Paul.

Over the summer months there is typically a lull in blood donations. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com

Rapid HIV test now in Red Deer

A new HIV test that provides quicker results is now available at Red Deer Regional Hospital’s emergency department.

“With this test it’s a 60-minute wait time from the time it arrives at the lab bench to the result,” said Dr. Ifeoma Achebe, a medical officer of health for Alberta Health Services Central Zone, on Thursday.

The Rapid Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Antibody Test has been available at Red Deer hospital emergency room since April 3. It is part of a pilot project to expand testing beyond AHS Calgary Zone where it was initially available. Now the test is accessible at 11 more hospitals across the province.

“This is all in an effort to better control HIV,” Achebe said.

Tests are ordered in specific situations: ● Blood or body fluid exposure depending on the source. ● Women who are pregnant and

near term or in labour with either no previous HIV testing or tested HIV negative more than four weeks prior to delivery with on-going high risk behaviours for HIV infection. ● Acutely ill patients with a differential diagnosis of HIV infection. ● An individual presenting with HIV risk behaviours where testing is highly indicated, such as an injection drug user or sex trade worker, and there is a low likelihood of a follow-up visit to get results.

Achebe said rapid testing is also available to patients on hospital wards other than emergency.

As of Thursday, a total of 325 rapid HIV tests have been performed at the AHS facilities that began offering the test in April.

Regular HIV testing, which takes about five days for results, is still used for other patients.

Achebe would like to see rapid testing expanded in AHS Central Zone to Wetaskiwin Hospital and Care Centre.

Rapid testing is available in the ER 24 hours a day. Patients must give their consent to be tested. szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com

‘School of the Future’ eyed for pilot project

BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF A student-designed School of the Future may become a reality in Red Deer.

The Red Deer Public School District is now exploring options to submit a pilot project proposal following a recent visit with Premier Alison Redford.

The blueprints are the work of four Eastview Middle School students who earned an international award for the innovative design in April.

Grade 8 students Cole Webber, Connor McCallister, Alison Harman and Grade 7 student Aidan Schafer pitched the idea to the premier, Education Minister Jeff Johnson, Infrastructure Minister Wayne Drysdale and other esteemed guests at the school on June 3.

“We really tried to make it realistic because that was our big goals going into it,” said Webber. “We wanted to do something that we actually thought would have an impact for the better and also be feasible with the guidelines they have now. To have it up for debate right now is extraordinary.”

The students won an international School of the Future Design Competition in April in Pittsburgh, Pa. The Mamawayawin School, or ‘living in a community’ in Cree, is a kindergarten to Grade 12 school designed to be part of downtown Red Deer. Classes would be incorporated into multi-use community facilities with sustainability features like geothermal heating, solar energy, and harness waste energy from rinks to cool buildings.

Webber said making school a more engaging experience for students is at the root of the project.

He said the community integrated model plays a key factor in reaching this goal. The school is set in the downtown for this reason so it would be connected to other facilities either physically or through programs.

Board chairman Lawrence Lee said they received positive feedback from the ministries at the meeting.

Lee said the board would like to see it become a pilot project for the province. “(That way we can) show what is possible for future school buildings in the province,” said Lee. Webber said the reaction from the student body in the school has been amazing.

“They were asking questions and wanted to get involved in it. (Alison Harman) described it as a spark that was set off.” crhyno@reddeeradvocate.com

City of Red Deer culture and community development coordinator Wendy Meers, left, speaks with artist Alysse Boyd at City Hall After the unveiling of her art piece titled Where We Would Have Lived. Boyd and about 300 grade six students from the city worked on the large two panel piece which hangs on the main floor of City Hall.

Where We Would Have Lived RED DEER’S CENTENNIAL DEPICTED AS A TOPSY-TURVY PATCHWORK QUILT BY 300 GRADE 6 STUDENTS

BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF Red Deer’s 100-year history was depicted as a topsyturvy patchwork quilt by 300 Grade-6 students who helped create two new “legacy” murals, unveiled this week at City Hall.

Students from six city schools were invited by city artist Alysse Bowd to create images of their own homes out of fabric.

The student’s colourful houses were later hand-sewn

by Bowd onto large 2.4-by-3metre fabric maps of Red Deer, becoming a flowering of residential neighbourhoods, turned in every direction.

This first public art project commissioned for the inside City Hall got a big thumbs up from acting mayor Tara Veer, as well as other onlookers.

“It’s wonderful that children were brought together to

. . . show us our city, as we see it,” said Dennis Nault, chair of the city’s public art jury committee.

Veer said she hopes the youngsters will view their work with pride over the years.

But considering the murals are mounted on the east wall of the first floor of City Hall, where parking tickets are paid, she joked, “Perhaps we shouldn’t wish them to view it too often!”

Bowd was commended for utilizing the talents of some of Red Deer’s youngest citizens to help create a lasting imaginative legacy for the city.

Her two fabric murals, titled Where We Would Have Lived, were selected by the Red Deer Public Art Jury

Committee because of their historic theme and contributions by students.

They will mark the city’s centennial year, as well as Red Deer’s stint host the 2013 Alberta Lieutenant Governor’s Distinguished Artist Awards.

ing the Lieutenant Governor awards, to be held Saturday.

Bowd, who attended Red Deer College’s visual arts program and the Alberta College of Art and Design, is primarily a ceramic artist, but has lately become fascinated with maps, incorporating them in her drawings.

dent’s 300 fabric houses.

A different colour palette was used for each participating school — River Glen, St. Patrick’s, St. Francis of Assisi, West Park, Normandeau, and Gateway Christian — so students would later be able to identify their homes easier.

The greatest challenge was working with so much fabric, said Bowd, who had to transport the massive murals to various schools and find ways to hang them to show students.

Grade-6 River Glen students Kati Steele and Jalayna Brosinsky liked the hand-made look of the murals and thought they had colourful appeal. “I think they look really good,” added Brosinsky.

Bowd thanked participating students, as well as members of the community and Red Deer College who helped her with the sewing, framing and fabric stretching. lmichelin@reddeeradvocate. com

Alice in Chains’ new album selling well, but not like ’90s

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Alice in Chains’ second album since their recent reunion, The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here, opened at No. 2 on the Billboard chart in Canada and the U.S. with more than 60,000 in sales.

Positive numbers, to be sure — at least, for bands who don’t remember the 1990s.

“Doing well in today’s market is a lot different than doing well in the ’90s market as far as records go, you know what I mean?” said founding guitarist/songwriter Jerry Cantrell in a recent telephone interview with a rueful laugh.

“You can’t even really compare the two.”

True enough. So the lofty heights the Seattle band reached in the early-90s heyday of its muck-encrusted hard rock are largely unreachable nowadays — after all, 1992’s Dirt and 1994’s Jar of Flies EP went platinum a combined seven times in the U.S. and thrice in Canada.

But he says it wasn’t just sales that were better then.

“The fact is, I don’t feel that we value people’s efforts and commitments and investments (anymore), in music particularly,” said the 47-year-old. “I think in general, we’ve grown to expect less and pay the same or more for it.

And actually be OK with that.”

Hoping to be the exception to the rule, Cantrell says the band pushed themselves hard in making this, their second record with a revised lineup that features vocalist William DuVall in place of founding singer Layne Staley, who died of a drug overdose in 2002.

Cantrell talked to The Canadian Press about the inspiration behind the new album, touring Canada and wanting to take Alice in Chains into new musical territory.

CP: 2009’s Black Gives Way to Blue was your first album with William singing lead vocals. Has playing together since given him a greater comfort level in the band?

JC: I wouldn’t say that the balance is much different. I mean, we kind of figured out how we operate during the process of making the first record, and this record is a continuation of (that). We’re a team. And we don’t classically have a lead singer.

That’s what this band kind of evolved into being. There’s a lot of bands that have more than one voice in rock and roll, and we’ve kind of modelled ourselves after being that. We do it in our own way.

CP: The second single from your new album, Stone, is built on a riff that sounds a little uneasy, even queasy.

JC: It makes you sick? Sick in a good way? I’ll take that. (laughs) It’s a good one, man. It’s very simple. I’ve always been a fan of that, and recog-

I ‘learned that lesson from AC/ DC. And I’m not even calling them a simple band, but the formula and the riffs are based in really good chunks of bedrock. It’s just a simple idea that just kicks ass. I would say the same thing about Stone. The funny thing about that song is I didn’t even write it on guitar. I kind of hummed it into the phone when I was in a sling (after shoulder surgery). I couldn’t even play guitar, but I was hearing this riff, so I sang it into my phone and saved it for later.

CP: Alice in Chains has gigs in nine Canadian cities this summer. Many

bands only play some combination of Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver, so why did you decide to do a more thorough tour here?

JC: For that exact point. We haven’t done a proper tour across the country, and it’s been a long time. A couple of the times we were going to do it, it was in the dead of winter or just didn’t work out schedule-wise. So it was a point that we discussed. We need to get up to Canada and we need to do a proper (tour) across there instead of just hitting a couple major cities. We’re really glad that we had the opportunity to make a good run across there. We love to see you guys.

Canadian Idols look back on 10th anniversary

BY NICK PATCH THE CANADIAN PRESS

my music scene too as opposed to: I’m just a guy with a billboard that had it paid for, or got radio play because my label forced it, or whatever,” said Malcolm, who’s relieved he was at least an adult when he was on the show.

“I was 23 when I won. If I had won when I was 18, it would have been a disaster,” he said.

Well, Melissa O’Neil was a mere 17 years old when she was crowned the victor of Season 3.

While she says she had a positive experience, she adds that some elements of her Idol background have lingered in an unpleasant way.

“There’s pictures of me when I was 16 that I really wish weren’t on the Internet or out there anymore, and I can’t do anything to change that,” O’Neil said.

“I wish those shows had a bit more of a higher age limit, because at that age, not everyone knows what they want to be yet. They don’t really know or understand what it means to be giving up so much by saying, yeah, sure, I’ll be on this television show, I’ll subject myself to all kinds of judgment and put myself on a national scale so everyone can see me before I’ve even decided who I want to be.”

And yet, for those Idols who did go on to pop stardom, even the unsavoury elements of the show provided a preview of the rigours of the industry.

“It was kind of my first experience at getting any little bit of Canadian fame — even if it was that 15 minutes, it was really beneficial,” said Carly Rae Jepsen, who finished third in Season 5 as a frecklefaced folk ingenue who later dialled in a worldwide smash with the multiple Grammy-nominated “Call Me Maybe.”

“I felt like too it was a bit of a training camp for what all of this entails, and a teaser taste of whether I liked it or not.”

Added Hedley frontman Jacob Hoggard, who finished third in Season 2, in an email: “It helped me to determine what I wanted out of a music career, and what I didn’t.”

Hoggard and Jepsen serve as a shining example of

the sort of stardom that Idol made possible. They’re also largely the exception to the rule. But platinum plaques are not the only measure of success, and some former Idol contestants have found different lanes in the entertainment industry.

O’Neil, for instance, is set to star as Eponine in a fall production of Les Miserables to be staged at Toronto’s Princess of Wales Theatre, and she headlines a group of Idol graduates who have found careers in musical theatre that also includes Season 3’s Aaron Walpole and Season 4’s Steffi DiDomenicantonio.

And Season 2 winner Kalan Porter put out one of the show’s most successful albums — the doubleplatinum 219 Days — but dealt with a serious illness in his family and ultimately chose a different path, enrolling at the University of Pennsylvania. (A representative for Porter declined an interview request).

Still, even those who would defend Idol’s record simultaneously offer reasons why the show’s alumni failed to consistently cash in on the opportunity granted by the show.

Executive producer John Brunton, CEO of realityTV giant Insight Productions, points out that due to the deluge of American Idol grads also needing record deals, Canada’s Idols were rarely signed on both sides of the border, which would have helped “a lot.”

Reliably unrestrained Idol judge Zack Werner, meanwhile, says the problem was “souvenir records” meant to quickly cash in on viewers’ memories of the show.

Canadian Idol finalists Theresa Sokyrka, left, and Kalan Porter, right, look on as host Ben Mulroney speaks following their performances on in Toronto Wednesday Sept. 15, 2004. It was a decade ago this week that Canadian Idol debuted, and it was also something of a premiere for host Mulroney.

53765F4-28

TORONTO — It was a decade ago that bespectacled restaurant server Ryan Malcolm and smalltown church crooner Gary Beals began the hotly contested, widely watched race to become Canadian Idol: Waiter Boy vs. the choir boy.

Except that, then and now, Beals and Malcolm didn’t feel like they were competing with one another. After the Canadian adaptation of the blockbuster international reality singing showdown launched on June 9, 2003, Beals and Malcolm became friends, even while traversing a collision course toward the show’s finale.

They played tennis together on the sprawling grounds that housed the Canadian Idol mansion on Toronto’s ritzy Bridle Path. They took pleasure in each other’s triumphs. And, although Malcolm ultimately won in a finale that saw the Kingston, Ont., product belt Creedence Clearwater Revival’s Down on the Corner and the Motown classic Stand By Me, the champion and his runner-up had eerily similar experiences upon the show’s conclusion.

“The show wasn’t real life,” Malcolm said in a recent phone interview. “We had our own little family.... When you’re on the show, there’s no problems, because you have people taking care of everything for you.... So when the lights go out on that final show, then you’re surrounded by people that really just want to make money off of you.

“You take a relatively unknown person and then put them on the front page of every publication the next, (that) can do a lot to someone’s mental health — some negative, some positive,” he added.

Canadian Idol launched in 2003 as a ratings powerhouse, pulling in more than 2 million total viewers on average each week in its quest to crown the next Canadian superstar crooner.

In that fledgling phase, most of the criticism heaped upon Idol centred on its lack of originality, its alleged glorification of sales above artistry or simply its status as a reality show when reality shows were still new enough to be resented for their supposedly culture-decaying vapidity.

Then as the years went on, a pattern was established where each Canadian Idol winner would put out a commercially successful debut before floundering on a follow-up.

And as those Idols failed to become the sort of bankable money-makers produced by the American show in such talents as Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood, the criticism of Canadian Idol began to focus in some quarters on its inability to create viable, sustainable stars. The phrase ‘Canadian Idol’ curse” was even batted about in some corners.

It was only after Malcolm edged Beals for the first-season crown that both contestants realized how drastically different their lives were suddenly going to be.

Beals, from the cozy community of Cherry Brook, N.S., mostly had experience singing at his church, and was certainly unprepared for wading through the muck of an occasionally seedy industry.

“It’s kind of like being a newborn baby kind of chucked out into the world and saying: ’OK, survive,”’ said Beals recently.

“There’s a lot of snakes in the grass and a lot of people who are not necessarily for you but they talk a great talk, and they may not be what they present themselves to be. And being new to the industry, it was hard to decipher who’s real and who’s not.”

“It was like when a lion is walking and a trainer is holding a big fat steak out in front as he’s walking,” added Hale Bay, N.L., native Tara Oram, who finished fifth in Season 5 en route to a Juno-nominated career as a country crooner.

“We’re getting a taste and a smell of what we can have, but it’s really only short-lived.”

Early on, however, labels were more likely to pour resources into an Idol album.

Malcolm says about $500,000 went into making his first and only solo album, 2003’s platinum-selling Home. In many ways the album was a success, and while Malcolm says he has “no idea” if his record recouped that weighty investment, he presumes it wasn’t a money-losing venture. Still, he says he was lamentably a cautionary tale for those who looked at the Idols and saw dollar signs.

“After the first season, people were expecting it to make millions after the fact,” he said. “And I think when they realized, wait, this isn’t America ...

I definitely made it easier for the people after me, because there wasn’t quite the same amount of pressure. Because people CAT’s One Acts! weren’t investing the same Nickle Studio & Bar, amount of money.”

“It’s one of those things Roller Coaster where if 50 people like Where Is Gwendolyn Marsh you, there’s 100 people Chick’s and Monologues who don’t like you,” Malcolm recalled. “You’re Hitting On Women 101 like ... ’Why is there so June 20, 21, 22 much anger?’ But I get it now. If I’m not a fan of a At The Orgy singer you actually shove Murder By The Book down my throat every five How About Me, Dumpling? minutes on television and the news, I’m going to hate Still Life that guy too. It’s not a perAxed Files sonal hate.”

Ultimately, Malcolm + Live music at all the breaks rejoiced at the opportunity to form the alt-rock band Low Level Flight in 2005, in part because he thought people would give him a chance without thinking of him as an Idol first. He says the band still fares better in Europe, “because we have a fair shot at being judged by our music.”

Particularly stinging, he says, was the highly publicized criticism from Toronto’s Broken Social Scene, who slagged the show and its contestants backstage at the Juno Awards after the third season had wrapped, with singer Kevin Drew saying: “I feel really sorry for those kids in ’Canadian Idol’ because they’re going absolutely nowhere.”

MODIFIED WHEAT FOUND IN OREGON FIELD APPEARS TO BE ISOLATED WASHINGTON — The Agriculture Department says it has no indications that genetically modified wheat found in Oregon last month has spread beyond the field in which it was found. No genetically engineered wheat has been approved for U.S. farming, and the department is investigating how the engineered wheat got in the field. USDA spokesman Matt Paul said in a statement Friday that the department “has neither found nor been informed of anything that would indicate that this incident amounts to more than a single isolated incident in a single field on a single farm.” Agriculture Department officials have said the wheat is the same strain as a genetically modified wheat that was designed to be herbicideresistant and was legally tested by seed giant Monsanto a decade ago but never approved.

Japan, Korea and Taiwan have suspended imports of western white wheat from the Pacific Northwest as the USDA investigates.

NORDSTROM, HOLT RENFREW POISED TO SNATCH UP SEARS LOCATIONS TORONTO — Sears Canada Inc. (TSX:SCC) will be vacating at least two major Toronto-area stores and possibly a third in return for cash payments from its landlords, who, analysts say, will be able to offer the prime space to tenants such as Nordstrom and Holt Renfrew. Sears, operator of a national chain of department stores, says it will receive $191 million cash for vacating its locations at Yorkdale Shopping Centre in Toronto and Square One Shopping Centre in Mississauga, Ont., by next March. It could also receive up to an additional $54 million if the landlords exercise an option to have Sears withdraw from its location at Scarborough Town Centre within five years. That would include $1 million that Sears gets for the option.

U.S. REVIVAL TO INJECT LIFE INTO CANADIAN ECONOMY, BUT NOT TILL 2014: FORECAST

BY JULIAN BELTRAME THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Canada’s recovering economy hit a major pothole Friday with a manufacturing report showing activity in the country’s factories slumped 2.4 per cent in April, the worst decline in almost four years.

As well, Statistics Canada said the sector suffered an even worse March than previously reported, with sales falling by twice as much as the original 0.3-per-cent estimate.

The double-whammy constitutes a major setback to an economy that had been thought to performing better than expected,

CANADA-EU FREE TRADE

Talks have been ‘difficult’: Harper and Hollande

given the strong 2.5 per cent growth spurt in the first three months of the year, strong housing starts, and the 95,000 new jobs created in May. Analysts said the manufacturing data likely signals a return to the previous expectations of a weak first half to the year, with the pace picking up toward the latter part of 2013.

The Conference Board of Canada released a new outlook Friday morning in line with the scenario. It says the economy will likely be receiving a boost from stronger U.S. demand for Canadian products, but that won’t be felt until 2014.

In the updated forecast, the Ottawabased think-tank estimates Canada’s growth

rate at 1.8 per cent this year, the same as last year and four-tenths of a point below its previous call, before picking up to 2.5 per cent in 2014. That is near the Bank of Canada’s call of 1.5 per cent growth in 2013 and 2.8 per cent in 2014.

“Overall, Canada’s domestic economy is not expected to muster enough strength to get growth ... above two per cent this year,” said economist Pedro Antunes, the think-tank’s director of national and provincial forecasting. “The stronger pace of U.S. growth in 2014 should help lift spirits, resource prices, trade prospects and income here at home,” he added.

Hockey on tap

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS PARIS — Prime Minister Stephen Harper and French President Francois Hollande are acknowledging the “difficult” nature of free-trade talks between Canada and the European Union.

The two leaders were asked about the long-running negotiations at a joint news conference Friday in Paris.

“There are obviously, always in negotiations, some areas that are more difficult than others,” Harper said.

“But both of our countries look to considerable gains from an eventual agreement, and we will continue to work with that objective in mind.”

“In a negotiation it is well understood that there are some hurdles at some points, that there are some difficulties,” Hollande added in French.

“We know them in a number of fields.

What matters most is to have the willingness to conclude and to overcome what might be difficult at some point in order to (conclude talks).”

Sources close to the talks told The Canadian Press this week the two sides have moved closer during the most recent round of negotiations. Canada did most of the moving, they said, agreeing to allow more European access for bidding in Canada’s hydro-electric sector and reducing foreign investment restrictions.

Still, Ireland and France have been reluctant to reciprocate on Canadian demands for greater quota on beef exports.

NDP critic Don Davies says European intransigence is understandable given how “desperate” the Harper government has appeared to cement its first deal with a major economy. The biggest mistake, he says, is publicly elevating trade to one of the top two political and economic objectives.

The Conservatives could also use a success story to take attention way from a series of expense-claim scandals that have dominated headlines for weeks, resulting in the resignation of Harper’s chief of staff Nigel Wright.

“I was a union lawyer for 16 years and the No. 1 rule of bargaining is not to convey desperation even when you are. That’s exactly what Canada has done and the Europeans know it,” Davies said.

“There are five or six important issues outstanding and the Europeans are holding all the trump cards.”

The elusive agreement has been a backdrop to Harper’s European trip ahead of the coming G8 summit in Northern Ireland.

Harper called an agreement “monumental” while addressing the British Parliament earlier in the week, but also insisted he won’t be pressured into a bad deal by what he called “some artificial timeline.”

Hockey Central Sports Lounge owner Michelle Beaudin holds up a beer tube customers can use to serve themselves at the Sylvan Lake bar.

BY HARLEY RICHARDS ADVOCATE BUSINESS EDITOR SYLVAN LAKE — Customers entering Hockey Central Sports Lounge face a dilemma. With about 130 seats embroidered with the logos of National Hockey League, Canadian Football League and other teams, should they plant their rumps on the colours of their favourite team or on those of a rival franchise?

Michelle Becker, who owns the Sylvan Lake sports lounge with Darren Field, isn’t sure what the proper etiquette is. But she’s pleased so many of the seats there have been covered since the business opened last month at 5000 Lakeshore Dr. — the former site of Smuggler’s Inn and Ricardo’s Ristorante.

A sports theme for their lounge was a natural choice for Becker and Field, who

have operated Hockey Central Sports Memorabilia in Sylvan Lake for nearly five years. Previously located in Marina Merchants Mall, the shop is now on the main floor beneath Hockey Central Sports Lounge, with each occupying 3,000 square feet.

The lounge displays a broad sampling of the store’s collectables, and sports-minded patrons upstairs are expected to spill into the retail area below.

“If you’re waiting for your food you can go down and have a look around,” said Becker. “It all works out really good.”

Able to accommodate nearly 150 people, not including its outdoor patio, Hockey Central Sports Lounge is equipped with 23 video screens — including nine that have been grouped together to create a 10-foot viewing area.

Minimum wage rising 2.1% in September Dear Working Wise: I hear that minimum wage is going up, but I am wondering if both minimum wages are increasing?

I am a server in a lounge and sure would like a raise. — Wondering Waitress Dear Wondering: Alberta’s minimum wage is rising 2.1 per cent, from $9.75 to $9.95 per hour, beginning Sept. 1. The liquor-server minimum wage of $9.05 per hour will remain unchanged.

CHARLES The minimum STRACHEY wage for alcohol s e r v e r s w i l l r e - WORKING WISE main until the general minimum wage reaches $10.05 per hour. From then on, both wage rates will increase together, so that a $1 differential between the two is maintained.

The separate minimum wage rate for alcohol servers recognizes that these employees earn tips.

Minimum-wage increases take effect on Sept. 1 of each year and are based on in-

creases in average weekly earnings and the consumer price index in Alberta.

Setting an annual date and indexing the minimum wage helps make the increases more predictable for both employers and employees.

It’s important to remember that these are minimum-wage rates — many employers choose to pay their employees more to attract and retain good people. In fact, fewer than two per cent of Alberta employees make minimum wage right now — the least in the country. And more than half of minimum-wage earners are under 25 years old, with many working in the accommodation and food-services industries.

A minimum wage is meant to give students and others new to the workforce a foothold in the world of work. It is about getting job experience, work skills, extra income and savings for further education and training.

Minimum wage is the minimum amount employers must pay workers in Alberta, but there are a few exceptions, including: ● farm or ranch workers; ● securities salespersons; ● real estate brokers; ● insurance salespeople; ● students in approved work-experience programs or training courses;

● counsellors/instructors at non-profit camps; and ● extras in film or video production.

Alberta’s Employment Standards also includes a minimum weekly wage for some salespersons and professionals (which will rise to $397 on Sept. 1) and a minimum monthly minimum wage for domestic employees (which will rise to $1,893).

After personal exemptions and taxes are considered, Alberta’s new general minimum wage of $9.95 per hour will be the second highest in Canada.

MARKETS CLOSE TORONTO — The Toronto stock market closed lower Friday as traders looked ahead to next week’s U.S. Federal Reserve meeting and hope that the central bank will provide clues as to whether it plans to ease off on some of its economic stimulus.

The S&P/TSX composite index dropped 89.76 points to 12,187.36 amid a string of disappointing economic data.

The Canadian dollar was off 0.03 of a cent to 98.34 cents US as Statistics Canada reported that manufacturing sales fell 2.4 per cent in April to $48.2 billion.

It’s the fourth decline in five months and the largest monthly percentage drop since August 2009.

The agency says lower sales in the petroleum and coal product and primary metal industries were largely responsible for the decline.

U.S. indexes were also in the red amid signs of a weakening American manufacturing sector and consumer sentiment.

The Dow Jones industrials dropped 105.9 points to 15,070.18 as May industrial production was flat. Economists had expected a 0.3 per cent increase after production fell by 0.5 per cent in April.

points to 3,423.56 and the S&P 500 index gave back 9.63 points to 1,626.73.

Concerns about Fed intentions have weighed on markets since late last month. That’s when Fed chairman Ben Bernanke said that the Fed might pull back on its US$85 billiona-month bond-buying program, known as quantitative easing, if economic data improves, especially hiring.

The QE program has underpinned a strong rally on U.S. markets.

The Fed holds its next regularly scheduled meeting on interest rates next Tuesday and Wednesday and wraps up with a news conference by Bernanke.

Hopes for more details were

fuelled Thursday by a Wall Street Journal story that suggested Bernanke will likely use next week’s meeting to try to calm market worries that the central bank is in a hurry to moderate its bond purchases.

“I think (the nervousness) is a reflection of the amount of leverage that is in the market that there’s a lot of speculators,” said Norman Raschkowan, North American strategist with Mackenzie Financial Corp.

“It’s no longer the big New York banks that are leveraged up and speculating, it’s foreign investors, it’s hedge funds, it’s whoever. And that’s why any time one of the Fed governors sneezes, there’s someone who is panicking because they’ve got this leveraged position that’s in danger of going under water.”

Nervousness about Fed intentions helped push TSX down 186 points or 1.5 per cent last week while the Dow industrials fell 178 points or 1.17 per cent.

The base metals sector led decliners, down 2.33 per cent as July copper was up two cents to US$3.20 a pound. First Quantum Minerals (TSX:FM) gave back 56 cents to C$16.91 while Teck Resources (TSX:TCK.B) shed 82 cents to $23.93.

Techs were also weak, down 1.25 per cent with CGI Group (TSX:GIB.A) down 71 cents to $30.05.

The gold sector was off about 1.5 per cent as August bullion rose $9.80 to US$1,387.60 an ounce. Goldcorp Inc. (TSX:G) faded 71 cents to $28.21.

The telecom sector added to a string of losses, down 0.85 per cent.

Speculation about cutting back on the QE program has had the effect of pushing U.S. Treasury yields sharply higher, which in turn has had a negative effect on TSX interest-rate sensitive sectors such as real estate, utilities, telecom and pipelines.

The CWB announced on Friday that it is organizing a football pool. Farmers will be able to win cash prizes of $500, $250 or $100 by picking game winners during the 2013 Canadian Football League season.

The football pool follows a National Hockey League pool that the CWB ran this spring.

“Farmers have had fun watching their team’s results in the hockey pool standings each week, so we decided to offer a similar pool for football fans” said CWB president and CEO Ian White.

The football pool is free to all farmers, who can sign up at www.cwb.ca/footballpool.

On that front, there was some encouraging news Friday. The International Monetary Fund reported the U.S. economy is on sounder footing than it was a year ago, although it expects recent tax increases and government spending cuts to shave 1.5 per cent from growth this year. Once those impacts fade later the year, the economy should start accelerating to a more healthy 2.7 per cent rate, the IMF said.

Suncor Energy (TSX:SU) was down 36 cents to C$30.96.

Utilities were ahead 0.63 per cent following a string of losses.

Speculation about cutting back on the QE program has had the effect of pushing U.S. Treasury yields sharply higher, which in turn has had a negative effect on TSX defensive/interest-rate sensitive sectors such as REITS, utilities, telecom and pipeline stocks.

IMF: US economy on better foundation, but tax increases, spending cuts still drag on growth WASHINGTON — The U.S. economy is on sounder footing than it was a year ago but is still being restrained by government spending cuts and tax increases, the International Monetary Fund said Friday.

The IMF’s annual report on the U.S. economy noted that the underlying fundamentals are gradually improving: Home prices and construction are rising, household finances have strengthened and employers are steadily adding jobs. The outlook was much more optimistic than IMF’s 2012 report.

“There are signs that the U.S. recovery is gaining ground and becoming more durable,” Christine Lagarde, the IMF’s managing director, said in a written statement.

Still, the IMF forecasts economic growth of just 1.9 per cent this year, the same as its April forecast.

That would be down from 2.2 per cent in 2012. And it’s below many private economists’ expectations that the U.S. economy will grow more than 2 per cent this year.

The IMF says the tax increases and spending cuts that kicked in this year will shave about 1.5 percentage points from growth. The international lending organization had opposed the steep federal spending cuts that began on March 1.

The reduction in the U.S. budget deficit “has been excessively rapid and ill-designed,” the IMF’s report says.

In addition to hockey, the lounge will showcase other sports, including football and mixed martial arts. This evening, for example, Hockey Central Sports Lounge will broadcast Game 2 of the Stanley Cup finals, followed by UFC 161 and live entertainment by musician — and former Boston Bruins leftwinger — Kraig Nienhuis. hrichards@reddeeradvocate.com

TD Bank’s analysis also says Canada must wait until its largest trading partner to the south fully swings into growth mode before seeing any significant pick-up here.

That remains a hope for the future, however. For the present, the manufacturing report constitutes a significant setback for this year, particularly in the short term.

Luxurious, spacious bathroom rises from depths of basement junk room

COLIN & JUSTIN

DESIGN

Gut down Clearing the room, thankfully, was a doddle. With the aid of two mulleted builders, a hefty wheelbarrow and a yard sale, the clutter quickly evaporated.

Before wielding your demo

Above photo by BRANDON BARRE

A modern, almost exquisite basement bathroom rose from the cluttered area seen below.

ball, however, ensure all utilities (such as electrics, gas and water) are suitably capped.

Never remove a wall without first examining that which is (and isn’t) load-bearing, or your brand-new ceiling could end up in the bath beside you as you dip below the bubbles.

Respect the building code at every turn and, if in doubt, approach a licensed contractor.

There’s little point, after all, affixing tile and ceiling finishes unless power sources have been positioned.

For this project, that meant an even spread of pot lights as well as wall-mounted lamps at the vanity area and concealed pin spots within the shelved area.

Plumbing route

To create commanding visual impact, we positioned the bath centre stage upon the main elevation.

Dropped neatly into custom (and subsequently tiled) framework — constructed from two-inch by two-inch lumber — it suffuses our project with immediate focus.

A large perimeter lip provides display space (ideal for candles and bath oil, etc.) while two shelved areas — backed with mirror to bounce light — create a perfect home for towels and ancillary bathroom paraphernalia.

To enhance the feeling of space, we opted for an openframed vanity, one beset with lashings of period charm.

The shiny nickel surface bounces light and its traditional lines are a lovely foil to the matte finish of our modern grey tile.

Don’t be shy about mixing styles; great results can be achieved when you play around with different eras.

Tiling

Seating area

We specified two tile styles in an identical colour palette: one, a skinny mosaic in various sizes (used as a feature panel above the bath and on the vanity wall) and the other a slab, which we used on the

In the world’s grandest hotels, it seems space goes hand in hand with luxury.

Working to this principal, we were thrilled to afford our clients a generous dressing and seating zone as a valuable

This level of transformation, as we see it, goes well beyond the ability of even the most competent DIY’er.

We’re fortunate to travel in a pack with a full supporting cast of experts who know precisely what they’re about and, with their assistance, we were able to draw water from upstairs and create a pipe stack (set at the correct gradient) to deal with waste.

Lighting Being that our palette is somewhat moody and utilizes various shades of grey, we didnít underestimate the importance of good lighting to provide balance.

Illumination

Bath wall

floor and the boxed-in bath area.

It’s worth spending as much time as possible aligning corners and grout lines as the last thing you want is wall or floor planes to miss each other.

Our reputation as detail freaks probably precedes us but we make a fuss because, visually, it’s simply very important.

And when our clients are happy, weíre happy. And so, too, is our team.

Vanity area

adjunct to their exciting new bathroom.

A walloping great mirror from HomeSense (bagged for a whisper under $300) provides form and function while a slipper chair, again from HomeSense, is the perfect spot upon which to dry off after a long, languid soak.

We suppose, all things considered, the foregoing categories provide the essence (the bath essence?) of this week’s transformation.

But, just as important: were our clients happy with the stratospheric transformation of their previously dingy junk room?

Well, let’s just say their new ‘spa at home’ freshened them up and changed them forever.

While some folk observe the kitchen as the heart of the home, our paymasters prefer to think their dazzling new room provides the pulse of — and the kick-start to — each and every day.

Job done. And awash with success!

As designers, we consider a luxurious, well-equipped bathroom to be a crucial aspect of any home — not to mention an important tool with which to shore up real estate value.

Bathrooms, after all (and kitchens, for that matter), are the spaces buyers inherit ‘fully furnished.’

If properly attired, they encourage saleability.

This observed, we still encounter homes where wash zones have been utterly overlooked.

Worry not, though: we can fix anything. It’s safe to say that below the thick skin of even the dowdiest room lies the potential — in capable hands — to unravel opportunity.

Sometimes the work required is simple: perhaps a new coat of paint or a lovely new faucet.

But other times it takes stealth — and a great deal of resolve — to pull off our mini miracles.

Take today’s bathroom, for instance.

Or rather today’s junk room.

For that’s what it was before our decorative muscle was stretched.

Short of a leak in one corner which let in rain, and a bucket auspiciously placed to catch Mother Nature’s stormier moments, there was nothing even remotely ‘wet room’ about the gloomy scene.

But of course we saw past the problems, though our plan — to create a veritable rain storm of style and function — was somewhat tortuous. The main issues?

That the room, as we found it, had no plumbing whatsoever.

Nor proximity to a waste stack. Hmm. So an ambitious conversion?

Yes, and then some.

Now empty nesters, our clients knew it was time to ‘spec’ up their home, thereby futureproofing its value.

Not for them the prospect of settling into early retirement with bubble perms, golf carts and bingo halls.

Our young at heart pair, in fact, were strictly determined to use our drawing board as their springboard to a new and fulfilling life.

And of course we had all the answers.

And so it came to pass that, working with their input, we scanned paint charts, brochures and flooring samples.

We suggested ‘borrowing’the footprint of an unused hallway closet and the realization of this idea provided 20 per cent more space with which to turn tricks.

Here’s the lowdown on how we pulled the plug on yet another decorating disaster:

Spray foam boosts energy efficiency

Question: Have you any ideas for backyard shade other than the traditional table umbrella?

We have a small but very sunny backyard and Iíd like to be able to cover a kidsí play area and picnic table. Thanks for your help.

Answer: With the concerns about getting too much exposure to the sun’s harmful rays, it is important to find a solution for shading that is not only effective, but also enhances our outdoor spaces.

The latest in shade sails or shade tarps is the perfect solution.

These versatile covers come in various shapes and sizes, generally triangular, that can be tied to trees, porches, or poles and set up DEBBIE to shade gardens, pools, play TRAVIS and sitting areas.

The sails are thin and stretched taught so that they take up very little visual space unlike a traditional umbrella.

They come in different fabrics that provide UV protection as well as shade.

They are light weight, and as most fabrics are translucent, you can still watch the clouds go by.

A DIY version such as the Wallabee Ready-Made Shade Sail shown here can be found at www.shadesailscanada.com.

Queastion: I have a small living room, however, my sofa and love seat are rather large.

They are browns and beige. I would like help picking a paint colour for the walls that would work.

Iím considering blue or sage green.

Answer: To make your living room look and feel larger, you might consider replacing one or both of the large pieces of furniture.

It is possible to find pieces that allow you to seat four or five people, but take up a smaller footprint.

Or can they be arranged in a different way?

If the furniture is staying, then I suggest a soft cornflower blue for the walls; this colour is fresh and inviting and will enhance the browns and beiges you have.

For added impact, choose a focal wall and hang one of todayís stunning wallpaper designs, such as a blue and green contemporary floral pattern.

Question: Our 70s brick fireplace really dates our family room.

There is a stove insert, black with gold trim. Walls and bookshelves are blue/gray, the Berber carpet is taupe.

Is painting the fireplace a project I could complete on my own?

Answer: Painting a brick fireplace is not difficult, and it will make a big impact on your room.

Choose a colour that is a few steps lighter than the wall paint, or cream or white.

A fireplace is always a focal point, and this will give the brick a distinctive colour that blends well with what is already there.

To paint the brick, clean it first with a wire brush and then warm soap and water. Allow the bricks and grout to dry completely, wait a day or two.

Prime the bricks and grout with a masonry primer (a primer that is designed to cover bricks).

Use a roller and a brush to get into all the nooks and crannies.

This is an important step, repeat it if you find any missed sections. Once the primer is dry, proceed with painting.

Use a water-based paint and apply two coats for full coverage.

It will look great!

HOUSEWORKS Check out my video on spray foam injection at http://goo.gl/rBXr2 Attic Condensation Question: Why did water drip from a light fixture in our house this past spring, even though it wasnít raining?

I looked in the attic and found melting frost on the underside of the roof running down.

Answer: There’s no doubt about the cause of

your problem.

Warm, moist indoor air was escaping into your attic all winter, condensing and forming n increasingly thick layer of frost during long spells of cold weather.

When things finally did warm up, this frost melted all at once and ran down and out through your light fixture.

Water an electricity are never safe together, so youíd better fix things up for next winter.

Look for and seal any holes, gaps or cracks that lead from inside your home into the attic.

The attic hatch itself is often a hidden and large source of air leakage.

You should also switch the power off and have the electrical box above the light inspected.

There may be corrosion and poor connections there that could lead to heat and a fire.

Question: What is your opinion on foam injection for boosting energy efficiency in an old house with double brick walls?

There’s no insulation there now, just an air space between bricks.

Answer: Foam injection could be an excellent option for you, but you need to use the right kind of foam in the right sort of way.

If you’re handy at all, I’d recommend you tackle the work yourself, mostly because of the added care you can bring to the task.

The challenge with any brick house is that the space between layers of brick can be narrow and clogged with mortar.

You’ll need to use an infrared camera to track the expansion of foam after injection, drilling more or less holes as needed to inject foam depending on what the camera shows.

Slow rise foam gives off a lot of heat, allowing the infrared camera to ìseeî where the foam exists within the wall.

I’ve had the most personal experience with a Canadian product called Tiger Foam (www.tigerfoam.ca; 888844-3736).

When hollow, cold areas are identified with the camera after the first round of injection, they can be marked and additional foam injected as needed.

I was involved in a job this past winter using injectable foam to insulate a hollow stud frame wall, and the process you’ll need to follow is similar.

But as an expert who has visited more than 400 college campuses, I also know that students are struggling to deal with the uncomfortable parts of life.

When I was in college, I couldn’t text, email and call my parents at will.

I had to plan it. Today’s college students are never out of touch with their parents. Technology makes it possible for kids to continue to ask their parents to say it and do it for them.

For those parents who want to help their kids become self- advocates, here’s a suggestion. When your kid asks for help, let them do the talking. Help them find the name, number and department, but they need to do the talking and calling. If they don’t want to do it, then let them struggle.

When they email, text or call, do not fix the problem — ask them what they can do. Ask them who they think they should call for help. Direct them, but let them say it and do it.

Fixing it for them just means they will break later in life when you’re not around. Life can be uncomfortable at times.

It should be. It’s how we learn.

Give them room to get comfortable with the uncomfortable.

Baptists without baptisms?

Visitors who enter Southern Baptist churches these days will usually see posters and pamphlets for everything from marriage-enrichment retreats to tornado-relief fundraisers, from weight-loss classes to drives to find volunteers for African hospitals.

But one thing is missing in the typical church lobby or fellowship hall, according to the leader of the denomination’s LifeWay Christian Resources branch. It’s rare to see appeals for members to join evangelism programs that strive to win local unbelievers to the Christian faith.

“Why is this? It’s hard to say what happened to our commitment to evangelism. ... I’m not hearing any answers to this question that go deeper than anecdotes,” said TERRY the Rev. Thom Rainer, who, MATTINGLY before reaching what Nashville locals call the “Baptist Vatican,” was founding dean of the Billy Graham School of Missions and Evangelism at Southern Baptist Seminary in Louisville, Ky. “It’s like our people lost confidence in the old evangelistic programs that our churches had been using for years and years,” said Rainer, reached by telephone this week during the Southern Baptist Convention’s annual meeting, held this year in Houston.

“That’s understandable, but the problem is that they never bought into anything new and moved on.”

This sea change is directly linked to a recent statistic that should be causing “sorrow and rising concern” throughout America’s largest Protestant flock, he said.

Think of it as the Baptist bottom line: Local churches reported 314,959 baptisms in 2012, a sharp 5.5 percent downturn from 2011.

RELIGION

Baptisms have declined six out of the last 10 years, falling to the SBC’s lowest number since 1948.

While hotter issues — the Boy Scouts of America and gays, for one — will grab most post-Houston headlines, Rainer posted a pre-convention essay online seeking candid discussion of this painful question: “Where have all the baptisms gone?”

“Baptisms are our way to best estimate the number of people we reached for Christ with the Gospel,” he wrote.

“When someone declares that he or she is a follower of Christ in our churches, that person is expected to follow through with baptism. ...

“Of course, baptisms are an incredibly important metric for us in the SBC. We use that metric to see how we are doing on eternal matters. Yes, the metric is fallible. ... But that does not explain why we mention it less and less.”

So what has happened in recent decades?

— The decline can, in part, be explained by the fact that nearly 20 percent of the convention’s churches have stopped voluntarily reporting some, or all, of their annual statistics. “We don’t know if some churches have stopped sending in baptism numbers because their annual number is zero,” said Rainer.

— It’s impossible to ignore the fact that the fastestrising statistic in American religion — among those who attend church — is the percentage of people who attend nondenominational Protestant congregations. In previous generations, some of these megachurches would have had Southern Baptist signs out front.

The charismatic flocks in the Assemblies of God are growing as well, noted Ed Stetzer, president of LifeWay Research. Meanwhile, evangelism efforts remain strong in the SBC’s growing number of African-American and Latino congregations. “It seems that the decline is largely in our predominately white churches,” he said.

— Southern Baptists are strong in the rural Sun Belt and, while population growth in Southern states

remains strong, Americans are increasingly moving to big cities and their suburbs.

— A key question Stetzer and Rainer agreed deserves study: How many SBC churches have stopped requiring baptism by immersion for those who move their memberships from churches that use different baptism rites?

— Another unanswered question: To what degree have birthrates fallen in Southern Baptist congregations? A decline would affect the number of baptisms among children and teens.

— SBC leaders would, if pressed, have trouble finding as many as six million of the nearly 16 million people whose names are on membership rolls in their churches.

Why? Too often, churches have focused on mere “incantation evangelism” that expects people to recite a few “magic words” that prove they are Christians, said Rainer.

That brand of faith is not enough “We have baptized too many members who seem to show no evidence of salvation,” he said. The millions of missing members are “certainly not the kinds of believers who win other people to true faith in Christ.”

BEARDSWORTH Dr. John Hudson 1925 - 2013 Dr. John Beardsworth passed away at the Rosefield Care Center in Innisfail, on Monday, June 10, 2013 at the age of 87 years. John was born in Kinoulton, England and his family immigrated to Canada in 1926, homesteading in the Turtleford area of Saskatchewan.

John completed grade 9 at Brooksdale School and began working as a farm hand for his father and then for various other farmers in the Mervin and Edam areas of Saskatchewan.

At the age of 18 he joined the RCMP and spent 5 years in the force at various postings, most of which were located in the Northwest Territories and involved lengthy and lonely patrols by dogsled. A posting in Montreal was memorable as it involved providing security for President Harry Truman while addressing the Canadian parliament in 1947. During his years in the RCMP he completed grades 10 and 11 by correspondence and in 1948 he was granted an honorable discharge to attend full time school at Saskatoon Collegiate Technical, where he completed grade 12. He was accepted into medical school in Saskatoon and completed his degree at McGill in Montreal. His career as a family practitioner, surgeon and coroner was spent in Regina and Lashburn, Saskatchewan and finally in Innisfail starting in 1961. John is survived by three sons: Joe (Debbie) of Cochrane, David (Gloria) and Don (Pam) both of Innisfail, brother Roger (Maxine) of North Battleford and sister Joyce (Walt) of Saskatoon. He is also survived by 8 grandchildren: Melanie, Lauren and Audra Beardsworth; Alexa (Jeff) Blish and Casi Beardsworth; and Grayson, Chance and Landon Beardsworth. He was predeceased by his wife Jocelyn in 2000, his brother Phil (Nan) in 1999, his father John in 1988 and mother Doris in 1986. A Celebration of John’s life will be held at the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch #104, Innisfail on Tuesday, June 18, at 2:00 pm.

If friends so desire, memorial tributes may be made to the Innisfail Ladies Hospital Auxiliary.

IDLAND 1929 - 2013 M r. K a a r e ( K o r y ) I d l a n d passed away peacefully with his wife by his side on Wednesday, June 12, 2013 at the age of 83 years. Born October 18, 1929 in Norway, Kory immigrated to Canada as a young man. After trying his hand at several different trades and labour jobs, he chose to focus on being a heavy equipment operator and businessman. Kory was actively involved in the creation or operation of many business ventures including Kidd Construction, Contour Energy, Tr o p h y We l l S e r v i c e , 3 K Ranch, Krona Insulation, 6K Resources, Westridge Gas Plant, Paw Resources, Canadian Superior, Bri-Gar Resources and MDK Innovations. When not at work, he enjoyed golfing, curling and fishing, which always allowed him the opportunity to join in the social events; always taking great pleasure in a good laugh. Kory was an avid golfer and shot two hole-in-one’s over the years.

Entering golf tournaments was a must and he appreciated good competition. Not being a winter traveller, curling was the activity of choice, participating in bonspiels and weekly league curling with great friends. Kory understood the value of technology, always eager to learn new computer programs, how to check and trade stocks online and never without a cell or smart phone out of his reach. In later years, Kory greatly enjoyed watching his grandchildren participate in their sporting activities. Kory will be greatly missed by his wife Joanne of 57 years; children Brian (Nola) and Gary (Teresa); grandchildren Kari, Karsten, Kyle, Keith and Karalyn, as well as by extended family and many wonderful friends. In honour of Kory, a memorial service will take place at Living Stones Church, 2020 40th Avenue, Red Deer on Tuesday, June 18, 2013 at 2:30 p.m., with a private family interment taking place at Red Deer Cemetery. Condolences may be sent or viewed at www.parklandfuneralhome.com Arrangements in care of Rhian Solecki, Funeral Director at PARKLAND FUNERAL HOME AND CREMATORIUM 6287 - 67 A Street (Taylor Drive), Red Deer.

Clark, Redford all smiles at meeting

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS KELOWNA, B.C. — The premiers of British Columbia and Alberta attempted to patch up — or at least patch over — their once “frosty” relationship Friday, with a meeting in B.C. that avoided the contentious issue of pipelines that has divided them in the past.

B.C.’s Christy Clark and Alberta’s Alison Redford posed for the cameras in Kelowna, where Clark is currently running in a provincial byelection, before an hour-long meeting they said was focused on economic issues.

A year ago, Clark and Redford were in a public dispute over the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline — specifically, Clark’s demand for a “fair share” of the economic benefits from the project.

Pundits were busy keeping track of how far apart they sat from one another at last year’s gathering of the Council of the Federation, and Clark famously described a meeting between the two in October as “frosty.”

But on Friday, the two premiers used a tried-andtrue method for calming any heated dispute: avoid talking about the problem.

“No, I didn’t actually discuss that,” Redford told reporters when asked whether the Northern Gate-

way pipeline came up during the meeting.

Clark suggested all is well between Canada’s two westernmost provinces.

“British Columbia and Alberta have been friends for a long time — we are the best friends in this country that you’ll find between provinces,” said Clark, after giving Redford a bottle of wine and a hug.

Redford and Clark downplayed repeated questions about the Northern Gateway project, which Clark’s government formally opposed at review hearings last month.

Redford said there were other important economic issues to occupy the hour, while Clark cast the dispute as little more than two premiers standing up for their respective provinces.

Clark did, however, suggest all hope is not lost that British Columbia could one day change its mind when it comes to Northern Gateway.

“Between the closing arguments (at the National Energy Board’s joint-review panel) and the decision, there are a few more months,” said Clark.

“So we’ll see what happens with that.”

The 1,600-kilometre Northern Gateway project would transport 550,000 barrels per day of oilsands crude from just outside Edmonton to a port in Kitimat, on the northern B.C. coast. Once at the coast, bituman would be loaded onto hundreds of tankers a

year for transport to Asian markets.

The premiers spoke of a shared interest in skills training, immigration and economic growth, and they announced a “ministerial working group” to tackle those issues.

However, there were few specifics about what exactly each premier wants to see done in those areas, and the official news release following their meeting didn’t even mention — much less explain — the working group.

Clark and Redford also complimented each other on their come-from-behind election wins. Both were counted out by pollsters and pundits, but each pulled off victories.

B.C.’s Opposition NDP dismissed the meeting as little more than a campaign event.

Clark lost her own Vancouver-area riding in the May 14 election, prompting one of her caucus members to step aside in a safe Kelowna-area riding to allow her to try again.

The New Democrats were so unconcerned about Clark’s meeting with her Alberta counterpart that the party didn’t offer up its leader or any of its legislature critics to comment.

Instead, the NDP left the reaction to Clark’s byelection opponent, Carole Gordon, who ran, and lost, in the May election.

Waste water pipeline leak fixed: owner

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS ZAMA CITY — The owner of a pipeline that leaked a large amount of industrial waste water into a northern Alberta wetland says wildlife in the area doesn’t seem to have been affected.

“There are no visible impacts on wildlife,” Marc Douglas, spokesman for Apache Canada Ltd., said Friday.

Alberta regulators estimate that 9.5 million litres of waste water were spilled near Zama City in northwestern Alberta. The spill covers 42 hectares with water that contains salt, oil and minerals.

There are 160 workers backed up by specialized equipment cleaning up the site, Douglas said in an emailed response to questions. The spilled water is being removed, tested and treated.

“Wildlife, amphibian and vegetation studies are underway by an extensive environmental remediation team and analytics are being compiled,” Doug-

las said.

Aboriginals in the area have said all vegetation in the spill area, from grass to trees, is dead.

Douglas said the spilled fluid from the five-yearold pipeline was 99 per cent water.

“The water we collect will be further treated to ensure it meets water quality standards before it is released back into the environment.”

Apache is investigating the cause of the leak.

“While our priority right now is remediation and restoration, we will investigate the cause and develop a solution that will prevent this sort of thing (from happening) again.”

The reason for the leak will be disclosed, said Douglas.

MONTREAL — Soccer’s world body struck a blow against Quebec’s turban ban Friday, saying such headwear is perfectly acceptable on the pitch for now.

The Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) said in a statement it is temporarily authorizing the wearing of male head covers at all levels of Canadian soccer. It is effectively applying a 2012 ruling that allowed specially designed hijabs for women. The statement outlines certain rules for allowing the male headwear on the pitch. “(FIFA) authorizes the CSA to permit all players to wear head covers ... in all areas and on all levels of the Canadian football community,” FIFA said.

FIFA’s position came four days after the Canadian Soccer Association suspended Quebec’s soccer federation because the provincial body banned Sikh headwear.

The move risked turning Quebec into a soccer pariah, with players in the province isolated from national and interprovincial competition.

The Quebec organization had cited safety issues for its decision and the fact the garments were not endorsed by FIFA. FIFA responded that the head coverings are allowed — on a trial basis and just for the time being.

The issue will be discussed in October by the International Football Association Board (IFAB), which determines the rules of the game, and a final decision is expected in March 2014.

The Quebec Soccer Federation said Friday it welcomed the news “with enthusiasm and relief.” It said it had been waiting for clear instructions from FIFA. However, the Quebec body has not said exactly what it will do next.

It is to hold a news conference Saturday morning and issue a ruling with respect to the “lifting of the ban.”

The impact of the spat has already been felt.

This weekend, at least 20 out-of-province teams are skipping a tournament in Montreal. Some players in Quebec leagues have also decided to wear turbans in protest of the ban.

That ban had the support of the Parti Quebecois government and some sovereigntists have even used the case as an argument for Quebec independence.

However, many federal politicians opposed the ban and applauded the CSA suspension — with the Conservatives and Liberals being the most forceful.

NDP Leader Tom Mulcair had also written to FIFA, seeking clarification and expressing his hope children would be allowed to play.
