Quinn steps down as head coach

BY DANNY RODE ADVOCATE STAFF

RED DEER OPTIMIST CHIEFS

Doug Quinn built the Red Deer Optimist Chiefs into the most recognized major midget hockey program in the country — and now he’s stepping down.

He took the Chiefs to five straight Alberta Midget Hockey League and provincial titles. And the Chiefs became just the fourth team in history to win back-to-back Telus Cup national crowns, winning in 2012 and 2013.

But this week Quinn announced he’ll step down as head coach to “take some needed time off.

“I’ve been going at it basically for 12 years and the midgets the last five, which takes about eight months a year,� he said. “I also have so many (business) interests outside of hockey it’s hard to make a commitment to both. “I need a mental break more than anything. My business interests keep me busy and I find most nights I’m putting together a practice schedule at 11 p.m., just to be organized.�

Quinn, a former captain of the Chiefs, played junior hockey in the

More transfers are expected.

Dialysis treatment at the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre has been operating at its capacity of 120 patients for several months.

However, a bad car accident ended any thoughts of playing in the NHL. He went on to play at the University of Calgary and eventually returned to Red Deer to work with Quinn Pumps, which his father, Jim, started.

He got into coaching as an assistant at the 15-year-old level in 2002 and won league tiles at the minor midget AAA level before coaching atom and peewee. In 2009, he was offered the opportunity to take over the Chiefs and the rest is history.

Fire destroys Penhold apartment TWO RESIDENTS IN HOSPITAL, UNCLEAR WHETHER ALL TENANTS ESCAPED

BY MYLES FISH ADVOCATE STAFF With ashen debris raining down on his weary head, the timbers of the engulfed Wild Rose Manor loudly cracking behind him, Jim Harrison walked barefoot onto Windsor Crescent shaking his head.

“I’ve never seen anything go up that fast in my life, never in my life. I can’t believe how fast that thing went up! What is the building made of — sawdust?” said Harrison, his face and bare arms marked with soot.

Forty-five minutes earlier, Harrison and dozens of other residents had been in the three-storey apartment building on the southwest side of Penhold.

The 68-year-old had been napping around 5:40 p.m.

Thursday when the smell of smoke woke him up.

He looked out his first floor window and saw white billowing smoke, which he mistook simply for mist at first.

“Then I realized it turned a dark brown. I ran out on the patio and the whole goddamn side of the building was on fire,” said Harrison.

As smoke filled his apartment, he ran out, grabbing nothing. No shoes, no jacket, no wallet, no keys, no phone.

“It went up so quick man, I didn’t have the chance to go back and get anything.”

Christine Howard was one floor above Harrison and directly above the blaze, which started on the ground floor of the building’s east side, facing Hwy 2A. While at least one person reported hearing an explosion, Howard, sitting on her couch, simply noticed her living room become dark.

QUINN: Refused to take all the credit It’s been a great run.

“After the season I sat down and reflected back on all the good things that happened over the last five years,” said the 49-year-old. “I met so many new people and had a great group of coaches, who are friends and a lot of fun to work with. There was the camaraderie and the competition.

“We developed a culture. Look at the players who come back and support the team.”

Quinn enjoyed working with some of the top midget players in the province and had pride in the fact he played a major role in their development.

“Every year we had 14 or 15 players move on to the next level,” he said.

While he worked hard at building the program, he refuses to take all the credit.

“I surrounded myself with good people, who work hard at it. I’ve learned a lot from watching others and I’ve put a lot of effort into learning the game ... studying it.”

He also knows he’ll miss it.

“Absolutely,” he said. “I’ll coach again at some time, but I do have so many things outside hockey I have to take clean up first. Coaching hockey is something I love to do, in fact I love coaching more than I did playing.”

He could see himself coaching at a higher level.

“Anyone who is competitive loves a challenge and if the right opportunity comes along, I’ll definitely look at it,” he said.

Quinn’s coaching staff of Rob Hamill, Al Parada, Peter Friestadt, Trent Hunter and Mike Moller are also stepping down.

Red Deer Minor Hockey Commission GM Dallas Gaume appreciates what Quinn did for the city and minor hockey.

“Doug did an amazing job,” he said. “He’s such a good coach, no matter what level he coached at.

What he did for this program was tremendous, he took it to a new level.”

Now it’s up to Gaume to fill the position.

“We’re in the process of seeing who is interested,”

DIALYSIS: Alberta Health aware of space crunch Dialysis is an artificial and imperative means to remove waste from the blood of those who have lost the function of their kidneys. Without the treatment, which takes four hours in hospital and is required three times a week, many would not survive.

Alberta Health Services officials say they are aware of the space crunch and continue to monitor service levels in Red Deer.

“When dialysis is at capacity in Red Deer, we may have to ask patients to travel to access the care they need,” said Deb Gordon, vice-president and chief health operations officer for Northern Alberta at Alberta Health Services.

She noted other locations where patients can receive treatment in the Central Zone include Wetaskiwin, Drumheller, Drayton Valley, Rocky Mountain House, Olds, Stettler, Vegreville and Lloydminster.

June Norvila has been making a 45-minute commute to Red Deer for 11 years for her husband Paul’s dialysis treatment. They live on a farm halfway between Rimbey and Bentley. On April 4, they were told they would have to go to Rocky Mountain House for all further treatment.

June Norvila wasn’t keen on the drive west with icy winter roads so she asked to be relocated to Wetaskiwin instead — a difference of only eight km or so, she said. The request was granted and her husband spent most of his 75th birthday on Tuesday at his first dialysis appointment in Wetaskiwin, 115 km from home.

He will now have to make the hour and a half

journey three times a week.

“The staff are welcoming and nice but they don’t know us or our 11-year history with dialysis,” June Norvila said. “His overall health is really being compromised and put at a much greater risk. He has other medical issues that make the extra travel particularly hard, too, not to mention the extra stress on both of us and family.”

Dr. Kym Jim, one of two kidney specialists in Central Alberta, has been calling for plans for a new dialysis unit in Red Deer.

“There’s been no announcement as to a plan for an expanded dialysis unit. No additional funding has come forth. Basically people are being asked to move to other dialysis units in Stettler, Rocky ... the letters are going out now,” Jim said. “We’ve received very little response from our MLAs. ... Overall it’s a difficult time for patients.”

June Norvila is a member of the Renal Dialysis Rimbey Support Group, which has been advocating for a satellite dialysis unit in the Rimbey Hospital and Care Centre for the past seven years.

The proposed $44-million hospital parkade project in Red Deer baffles her when there is a bigger need for dialysis patients.

“There is no space in Red Deer for a bigger unit, we’re told. Well why not put some chairs in an outlying area like Rimbey where parking is free?

Wouldn’t that help?” she said. “I think they’re finding it a lot easier to make people drive farther and watch those places get up to capacity as well. ... It’s a sad, frustrating, unhealthy system where people are only a file number, not people.”

Alberta Health says as dialysis is a specialized service, it is not one that is easily or quickly expanded to other communities.

“In communities where it is not offered, we work with patients to ensure they get the treatment and care they need as close to home as possible,” said Gordon.

The province is also pushing for more home hemodialysis as it can provide “the best outcomes and quality of life and eliminates the need for patient travel,” Gordon added.

However, home hemodialysis only works well for a small number of patients, Jim said.

For June Norvila, it’s not a possibility as Paul also has Parkinson’s and would not be able to handle his own needles. The home process also requires a special water filtration system and extra room for the machine. rfrancoeur@reddeeradvocate.com

he said. “I’ve talked to a number of people and called some who I think are capable of running the program.

“We’ll get a short list and do interviews. It’s important for us to get this right.”

Gaume said there’s no set deadline to fill the job.

While there are big shoes to fill, he doesn’t believe there will be a lot of added pressure.

“As a coach I see it as a great opportunity to step into a strong program with the bar set extremely high already. It doesn’t have to be pressure, but a challenge, a great opportunity.” drode@reddeeradvocate.com

FRIDAY, APRIL 11, 2014

Time to get on board A TRANSIT PLAN FOR RED DEER THAT SAVES THE TAXPAYERS MONEY We all know there are times when getting around in our city can be a hassle. Heavy traffic, bad weather, a stalled car or collision at an intersection — or just feeling over-booked on a too-tight schedule — can make getting from A to B to C and back again a real chore.

And that’s GREG for those of us NEIMAN with the means to make decisions about how we will get from A to B to C and back again. There are more people in Red Deer than we might think, for whom there is only one choice on a trip that’s too far to walk: using transit.

For them, the barrier to showing up at a doctor’s office for instance, will be the $2.50 bus ticket there and another $2.50 return. The same might apply for some people on a training program for a job that would move them out of poverty.

A quick survey of 12 agencies in Red Deer that serve people in some kind of crisis found almost 40,000 people in our city who sometimes find that getting on a transit bus is a hard choice.

INSIGHT

These would be some seniors, single moms with their children, and others who live on the lowest income rank.

Red Deer is no different from other cities in this regard. The difference is that other cities have found a solution that works — for people in crisis, for the transit system as a whole and, ultimately, for the taxpayer.

In 1996, Edmonton city Coun. Allan Bolstad proposed a system by which people could donate money to purchase bus tickets for people who needed them. It started as fare donations made by people using city transit on New Year’s Eve, when all rides were free.

Well, the taxpayers know there is no free ride. But his idea, Donate A Ride, has morphed into something much more efficient. It has become a package that is free for organizers and city councils to copy and paste anywhere.

And it’s coming to Red Deer.

Spearheaded by the Red Deer Action Group Society, and with the blessing of the mayor’s office and the assistance of transit management, Red Deer will soon begin a donation campaign for Donate A Ride.

The program is designed to be simple and low-cost. This year, fundraising will run through May. (In Edmonton and Calgary, for instance Donate A Ride campaigns run in December, to coincide with the end of the United Way campaign. In Red Deer, it is hoped to eventually run this way as well.)

A small board consisting of city representatives and local non-profits will use the money to buy transit tickets.

Then, they will divide those tickets among local agencies that apply for them, in the same way the United Way divides its donations between its member agencies.

The agencies can then hand out bus tickets over the course of the year, to clients who need them.

The donations (in many cases, from businesses) are actually capped. Official sponsorships begin at $1,000, but no donation over $5,000 will be accepted.

Jean Stinson, a friend and colleague of mine, is the president of the Action Group Society’s board and chair of the Donate A Ride organizing committee.

She says the cap is in place to prevent draining the corporate donations pool.

There are many requests out there for all kinds of causes and Stinson is sensitive to that.

Eventually, the Donate A Ride board will self-dissolve and the program will be run by a steering committee.

Here’s where the benefits meet the transit system and the taxpayers.

Every year, transit authorities struggle with budgets. Who doesn’t? Transit needs to balance costs with service standards, and a fare schedule that doesn’t rule out the people it is set up to serve.

The city has to list and acknowledge

all the costs of its transit system. (Car owners, for their part, almost never do.

If they did, thousands of Red Deerians would find that it is actually cheaper for them to buy a monthly transit pass to get to work — and possibly get rid of one family vehicle.)

In Edmonton, the program constantly sets new records. In 2012, Donate A Ride raised $202,000 — which went to Edmonton Transit to buy tickets. These tickets go to people who might otherwise not be able to use the system.

That’s about 91,000 additional rides, helping the transit system recover costs, and hold down price increases for everyone else.

Don’t expect those numbers in Red Deer, but one of the barriers to improving service here is that growth in ridership is slower than growth of population. More riders means better service, which ultimately makes transit an easier choice for people who could save the money they now spend on a car.

Sneaky, harsh – put brakes on distracted drivers any way you can Fans viewing their super-action heroes on the big screen or TV know the powers of Robocop. He always gets the villains in knuckle-gripping arrests that boggle the imagination.

But one thing Robocop doesn’t tackle is distracted drivers — those talking on a cellphone, texting or emailing in heavy traffic — flirting to be another deadly statistic.

So move over Robocop, Toronto police are on the case with “Hobocop” — Const.

Randall Arsenault. Frustrated by drivers consistently ignoring distracted driving laws, Arsenault has dressed RICK himself as a homeless person, ZEMANEK standing on roadways and observing offenders using cellphones.

And then nabbing them.

Wearing a hoody, baseball cap, jeans and sunglasses, the clever officer carries a piece of cardboard, not unlike many of Toronto’s homeless people. On one side, the sign reads: “I’ve got high hopes — Frank Sinatra.”

The other side of the sign — a bit more direct — reads: “Hello, I am a police officer. If you are reading this you are about to get a cellphone ticket.” He flips the sign over when he spots an offender.

Arsenault’s novel approach has attracted a deluge of responses over Twitter from people who criticized the tactic as “sneaky and under-handed,” while others congratulated his ingenuity.

Law enforcement agencies are starting to embrace such tactics to clamp down on drivers who ignore distracted driving laws while they contributing to mounting statistics of fatal or serious crashes.

In some provinces, authorities now claim distracted driving causes more deaths than drunk drivers.

Alberta Transportation reports that 20 to 30 per cent of all collisions involve distracted drivers. It adds that “distracted drivers are three times more likely to be in a crash than attentive drivers.”

It’s starting to sound like a broken record with authorities repeatedly saying drivers simply are not getting the message, and the current laws offer little

in the way of deterrence. Minimal fines, lack of vehicle seizure capability and no demerit points — the toothless laws do not adequately address this growing problem.

A recent study by the University of Alberta says the evidence that the cellphone is a leading cause of death and injury on our roads “is clear and compelling.”

The study concludes: “At any given time, one in 20 Canadian drivers are using a cellphone while driving. Driver distraction is responsible for up to 80 per cent of motor vehicle collisions, and cellphone use has become a prevalent mode of distraction.”

The U of A study found that using a cellphone while driving might be more dangerous than driving drunk. “Having a cellphone conversation slows driver reaction time by 18 per cent, while alcohol (in a driver registering the illegal limit of .08 per cent) slows reacting time by 12 per cent.” (The study is

available at http://www.cfp.ca/content/59/7/723.full.)

Canadian police are becoming more imaginative as they fight this problem.

In Nanaimo, B.C., an RCMP has worn the bunny costume as a disguise to spy on drivers.

Cops have also dressed as construction workers.

And Victoria, Thunder Bay, Ont., and Toronto police are now riding public transit to spy on motorists. They simply hop off the bus when an offender is spotted.

Ontario is leading the charge in imposing tougher penalties as deterrence. Legislation proposed recently asks that fines be raised to $1,000 from $280, and three demerit points be added to the offenders’ driving records.

Those are the kind of harsh penalties that other jurisdictions, like Alberta, must also adopt to stop this horrible habit in its tracks.

Rick Zemanek is a former Advocate editor.

Now in its 72nd year, National Volunteer Week is about inspiring and encouraging people to seek out imaginative ways to engage in their communities. It is also about recognizing the 13.3-million Canadian volunteers who already do make tremendous contributions across the country and around the globe.

Volunteers make our communities resilient and our country vibrant.

Pharmacist faces fraud, trafficking charges Formal charges have been laid against a former Innisfail pharmacist accused of stealing a massive quantity of painkillers from her employer.

Karen Nevett, 34, of Red Deer, faces charges of fraud over $5,000, theft over $5,000 and possession of drugs for the purpose of trafficking.

Innisfail RCMP became involved after Shoppers Drug Mart store security investigated irregularities at both the Innisfail and Red Deer locations she worked at. The investigation was launched after customers had complained that their drugs had become less effective.

Police allege that over an 18-month period she stole about 14,000 Dilaudid pills, a brand name for hydromorphone hydrochloride, which is in the same narcotics class as heroin, methadone and hydrocodone. Police allege she filled nonexistent prescriptions, emptied portions of Dilaudid capsules and returned them to the shelf with 20 to 50 per cent of the contents missing, and made false prescription records.

She was arrested by Innisfail RCMP in February but charges against her were not formally laid until Thursday. Cpl. Jeff Hildebrandt said although the initial reporting was done fairly quickly, the investigation took some time.

“There was quite a bit of video evidence to go through,” said Hildebrandt. “Then presenting a package with all the documentation for the amount of drugs that was involved to the Crown and then getting a response from the Crown after a significant review, it was time consuming.

“We knew in the first instance we were dealing with some fairly significant charges. We had enough information at the time of her arrest to proceed accordingly.

However, we really needed to give the Crown a fair chance to see all the information before we finalized what the charges were going to be.”

Nevett appeared in Red Deer provincial court Thursday. Her plea was reserved and she will make her next appearance on May 13 in Red Deer provincial court. She was released from custody shortly after her arrest. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com

STORY FROM PAGE A1

FIRE: Cause of blaze still under investigation “My apartment was black. I opened the (patio) door and the flames were up on the balcony. I ran out into the hall, set the alarms off, started banging.

Ran back in, grabbed my coat, and the flames were looking at me,” said Howard, 52.

She called the fire department and ran out of the building without a brace for the torn meniscus in her left knee. She got out and watched as the fire quickly engulfed the whole rectangular building, but she could not immediately locate her son and daughterin-law, who lived one floor above her.

With the flames having shot up and the third floor collapsing first, “I thought they were gone,” she said.

The couple — Howard’s daughter-in-law is due to give birth in two weeks — did get out. Then they all watched as the building came down completely, the final piece falling around 6:30 p.m.

Later, gathered with other residents and community members at the town’s Memorial Hall, she looked around and could not see one of her second floor neighbours, who she said had a bad back that she worried would have made it difficult for him to get out in time.

The apartment building had 18 units. The building manager was going through the records to find out how many people lived in them and whether they all got out in time.

Pendergast said two residents were transported to hospital with serious smoke inhalation. Howard said some pets died in the blaze.

Pendergast said the investigation into what caused the fire will begin this afternoon. Firefighters from Penhold, Red Deer County and Innisfail responded to the call at 5:42 p.m. By the time fire crews arrived, he said, the building was “fully involved.”

The fire did not spread to any other buildings, though Pendergast said there was minor damage to three cars parked nearby. Kevin Wilton was in his fourplex across the street when he first saw the plumes of black smoke.

He said one neighbour had to douse a small fire that had spread to a big evergreen near his house.

Howard said the Wild Rose Manor was a 39-year-old building. She had only lived in it since November.

Hundreds of locals spilled out onto nearby streets and Hwy 2A, which was closed to traffic, to watch the massive blaze. Later, they turned out in force to deliver relief supplies to Memorial Hall. By 7:30, there were piles of blankets, clothes, toys, food and water for the residents affected. mfish@reddeeradvocate.com

Water from Piper Creek flowed through Rotary Park and across 43 Street in Red Deer forcing the closure of the street between Spruce Drive and 49 Avenue. Culverts that direct water under 43 Street became almost fully clogged with ice and debris Thursday forcing water to back up into the park.

Blocked culvert causes road closures First comes spring, then comes the big melt.

Two culverts in Rotary Recreation Park were blocked causing water to flow onto 43rd Street.

The city closed the road on Thursday for most of the day in order to clean out the culverts and get the water flowing again.

At this time of year, Red Deer Emergency Services crews do routine patrols of the areas like Rotary Recreation Park that are at high risk

for flooding.

The crews noticed the high level of water and Public Works crews were called in to clear the culverts.

Alberta Health to reveal more on measles case Alberta Health Services officials will provide more information today on what they are calling a new “probable” case of measles in the Central Zone.

According to a release, there are multiple exposure sites relating to the probable case, including a “Red Deerarea elementary school.”

The case is not travel-

related.

The release states that several details relating to the case are still being confirmed.

There have been nine

confirmed measles cases in the province this year.

Three have been in the Central Zone, which stretches from Sundre to Lloydminster.

Jim Flaherty dies suddenly at age 64

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — A Canadian parliament riven by bitter partisan rancour came together as one amid the shocking news that Jim Flaherty, the impish, Irish former Conservative finance minister, died suddenly Thursday at his Ottawa residence.

The man Conservatives liked to call the best finance minister in the world had stepped down from Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s cabinet less than a month ago after more than eight years and 10 federal budgets — the last, in February, effectively balanced after years of recession-fighting stimulus red ink.

Harper, accompanied by his sobbing wife Laureen, told an ashen assembly of Conservative MPs and senators that “our colleague, my partner and my friend” had passed away, “an unexpected and terrible shock.”

Moments earlier, the daily question period in the House of Commons — the scene of a near brawl 24 hours earlier — had been cancelled as teary MPs from all parties crossed the aisles to console one another.

In Washington, a meeting of G20 finance ministers opened its doors to the media and paid tribute to Flaherty, considered a dean among global treasurers after the 2008-09 financial crisis rocked world economies.

On Friday, the Commons will suspend regular business and question period so parliamentarians can pay tribute to Flaherty.

Flaherty, 64, served as Harper’s only finance minister from the time the Conservatives won office in January 2006 until last month, when he stepped down, saying he would not run in the 2015 election and wanted more time with his family.

A statement from his wife Christine Elliott, herself a member of the Ontario legislature, and their triplet sons John, Galen and Quinn, all born in 1991, said Flaherty died peacefully.

“We appreciate that he was so well supported in his public life by Canadians from coast to coast to coast and by his international colleagues,” the statement read.

Flaherty had been battling a rare and painful skin disorder for more than a year but insisted after delivering his Feb. 11 budget that he was on the mend.

He was considered a congenial, twinkle-eyed counterweight in cabinet to the equally experienced but sometimes flinty prime minister, someone able to challenge and complement Harper.

Elizabeth May, the Green party leader, summarized the mood in Parliament when she recalled, “I never saw Jim Flaherty engage in a single moment that could be described as mean-spirited.

“And to be well-loved in politics after all these years, that’s a tribute to the man.”

The House of Commons abruptly suspended its sitting before question period began as word of the death spread.

Opposition MPs spilled into the Commons foyer looking stunned, many with red-rimmed, tear-filled eyes.

Down the hall, a sombre Harper gathered his caucus to mourn in a room that minutes before had been festooned for a bilateral visit by the Peruvian president.

“Today is a very sad day for me, for our government and for all of our country,” said Harper.

“I learned a short while ago that our colleague, my partner and my friend Jim Flaherty had passed away suddenly today.”

Opposition Leader Tom Mulcair’s voice quivered and he had to squeeze his eyes against tears as he remembered Flaherty “for his pleasant demeanour and strength of character.”

The Ontario legislature, where Flaherty sat for a decade, held a moment’s silence for the former provincial finance minister and recessed.

His sudden death, at his Ottawa condo minutes away from Parliament Hill, carried echoes of the December 1998 death of Liberal Shaughnessy Cohen on the floor of the House.

It was a universally sobering reminder of the fleeting passions of partisanship that consume those in elected politics.

On Wednesday, claims and countercharges had flown across the chamber over an acrimonious rewrite of federal elections law.

Flaherty’s policy resume includes the Registered Disability Savings Plan, an issue close to his heart after raising a son mentally disabled by an infant bout of encephalitis. He bought back billions in insured mortgages during the banking crisis, sharply curtailed income trusts and introduced the Tax Free Savings Account.

Chisholm Pothier, who was Flaherty’s first federal spokesman and worked with him for about seven years in all, Flaherty was looking forward to returning to the private sector and enjoying his family, said Pothier.

“The timing was right, he had brought in a budget that was essentially balanced, the world was his oyster in a way. It’s very sad.”

Former Finance Minister Jim Flaherty speaks with the media in the foyer of the House of Commons, in October of last year. Flaherty died Thursday. He was 64.

A look at the life of former finance minister Jim Flaherty Former finance minister Jim Flaherty died Thursday. Here is a look at his life: Dec. 30, 1949: James Michael (Jim) Flaherty is born in Lachine, Que. He goes on to earn a bachelor’s degree from Princeton University and a law degree from York University’s Osgoode Hall Law School, and then becomes a founding partner in the firm, Flaherty Dow Elliott.

1990: He unsuccessfully wades into provincial politics in Ontario, losing in the riding of Durham Centre.

1991: Triplet sons, Quinn, Galen and John, are born to Flaherty and his wife, Christine Elliott.

1995: Flaherty wins a seat in the Ontario legislature as the representative of Whitby-Ajax.

1997: He enters the Mike Harris cabinet as minister of labour, and would go on to serve as attorney general, finance minister, enterprise minister and deputy premier under Harris and his successor, Ernie Eves.

2006: Flaherty wins the federal riding of 2006 Whitby-Oshawa and becomes the finance minister of Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s new Conservative minority government.

2006-2008: He institutes a series of tax cuts, including shaving two percentage points off the GST to fulfil a Conservative campaign promise, as well as a Registered Disability Savings Plan to help Canadians with disabilities and their families, and the Tax-Free Savings Account, January 2009: Flaherty’s first budget after the global economic crisis contains a $40 billion stimulus package, as Canada plunges into deficit, which he subsequently vowed to erase by 2015.

March 2012: Flaherty uses his budget to abolish the penny, which he said took 1.6 cents to produce.

January 2013: Flaherty says publicly he is taking steroid medication for a skin condition in order to address months of speculation about what appeared to be a new phase of declining health.

July 2013: Flaherty takes sick during a G20 conference in Russia, and misses two days of meetings.

Feb. 11, 2014: Flaherty tables his final budget in a bid to erase the country’s deficit by 2015. He comes close by presenting a budget that carried only a $2.9-billion deficit with a $3-billion contingency fund.

March 18, 2014: Flaherty abruptly resigns as finance minister. Flaherty declares that he is “on the road to a full recovery” and that his decision to leave politics was not related to his health.

April 10, 2014: Flaherty dies suddenly, and in the words of his family “peacefully,” at his home.

Experts offer fixes for voter fraud

By THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Parliamentarians have been offered some simple solutions to deal with the potential for voter fraud —without disenfranchising tens of thousands of Canadians that experts fear will result from the Harper government’s proposed overhaul of election rules.

They’ve also been offered simple remedies for ensuring the independence of the chief investigator of electoral malfeasance — without the upheaval the government proposes by severing his operations entirely from Elections Canada.

Alternatives to some of the most contentious provisions in Bill C-23 were offered by experts testifying Thursday before a Senate committee, which is studying the bill at the same time as Commons committee.

Whether the Conservative majority in either parliamentary chamber will accept any of the alternatives remains to be seen.

But the government has so far shown no inclination to water down the bill, which has been almost universally panned by electoral experts.

Among other things, the bill proposes to eliminate

briefs

Supreme Court to consider mandatory minimum gun sentences The Supreme Court of Canada will consider whether the Harper government’s changes to mandatory minimum sentences for unlawful gun possession are constitutional.

The high court agreed Thursday to hear a pair of Crown appeals of Ontario cases in which the province’s Appeal Court struck down the law, ruling it constitutes cruel and unusual punishment.

The sentencing laws increased the mandatory minimum sentences for possession of a loaded, prohibited firearm from one year to three years for a first offence and five years for a second offence.

Suspended senator charged with assault, threats, drug possession Suspended senator Patrick Brazeau is facing new legal challenges following what police are describing as a violent domestic disturbance early Thursday.

Just a day before a court date was to be set in another assault case against him, Brazeau arrived at the Gatineau courthouse in handcuffs hours after police responded to a 911 call.

He is charged with two counts of assault, uttering death threats, cocaine possession and breach of bail conditions. Brazeau pleaded not guilty to all charges.

The Crown opposed his release, so he will spend the night in custody.

Police said a 39-yearold man was arrested after an incident that took place in Gatineau.

Tories table aboriginal education bill OTTAWA— The federal government has tabled its First Nations education bill despite complaints from some aboriginal organizations that it skimps on funding and fails to give natives direct control of their education systems.

Aboriginal Affairs Minister Bernard Valcourt defended Bill C-33, dubbed the First Nations Control of First Nations Education Act, saying it meets the five conditions outlined by the Assembly of First Nations and chiefs in December.

An official said that the bill — which provides $1.3 billion over three years to First Nations starting in 2016 — outlines ways in which aboriginal communities can band together to form school boards while receiving funding.

The official said the funding will flow to 600 First Nations the same way that provincial school boards receive funding.

Still, he told senators he’s not opposed to eliminating vouching “providing you put something else in place that acts as that final safety net” for those who can’t provide documentation of where they live.

As an alternative, Neufeld said the federal government could adopt the method used in Manitoba, where voters without proper ID make a written declaration which can be reviewed subsequently to determine if anyone made a false statement or filled out multiple declarations in multiple polling stations — either of which carries a stiff penalty.

Instead of eliminating VICs, which many voters use to prove their place of residence, Neufeld said fears that abandoned cards can be scooped up in apartment building lobbies could be easily resolved simply by putting the cards in addressed envelopes.

“Opening up somebody else’s mail is a $5,000 fine and a jail sentence in this country,” he told senators, adding that would deter potential misuse.

Another controversial provision in Bill C-23 would hive the elections commissioner, who is responsible for investigating breaches and enforcing election laws, off Elections Canada and move him under the auspices of the director of public prosecutions.

Canada

the practice of allowing registered voters to vouch for others who don’t have adequate ID. And it would simultaneously ban the use of voter information cards (VICs) as a valid document to prove place of residence.

Electoral experts have said the combined measures could strip up to 500,000 voters of their right to cast ballots — particularly students, elderly voters in long-term care facilities, aboriginals on First Nations reserves and homeless people, all of whom often have no documentation with an address on it.

Former British Columbia chief electoral office Harry Neufeld told senators Thursday that Statistics Canada estimates 250,000 Canadians will move during the course of the 2015 federal election campaign — most of whom will not have documentation showing their new address when they go to vote.

Pierre Poilievre, minister responsible for democratic reform, has frequently cited a report done

by Neufeld for Elections Canada to justify ending vouching and the use of VICs in a bid to prevent voter fraud. But Neufeld reiterated Thursday that his review of irregularities in the 2011 election identified administrative errors in filling out the vouching paperwork, not evidence of voter fraud.

PERTH, Australia — An Australian aircraft hunting for the missing Malaysia Airlines jet picked up a new underwater signal Thursday while searching the same part of the Indian Ocean where earlier sounds were detected that were consistent with an aircraft’s black boxes.

The Australian air force P-3 Orion, which has been dropping sound-locating buoys into the water near where the original sounds were heard, picked up a “possible signal” that may be from a man-made source, said Angus Houston, who is co-ordinating the search off Australia’s west coast.

“The acoustic data will require further analysis overnight,” Houston said in a statement.

If confirmed, it would be the fifth underwater signal detected in the hunt for Flight 370, which vanished on March 8 while flying from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to Beijing with 239 people aboard.

On Tuesday, the Australian vessel Ocean Shield picked up two underwater sounds, and an analysis of two other sounds detected in the same general area on Saturday showed they were consistent with a plane’s flight recorders, or “black boxes.”

The Australian air force has been dropping buoys from the P-3 Orion to better pinpoint the location of the sounds detected by the Ocean Shield.

Peter Leavy said each buoy is dangling a hydrophone listening device about 300 metres (1,000 feet) below the surface. Each buoy transmits its data via radio back to the plane.

The underwater search zone is currently a 1,300-square-kilometre) patch of the ocean floor, and narrowing the area as much as possible is crucial before an unmanned submarine can be sent to create a sonar map of a potential debris field on the seabed.

The Bluefin 21 sub takes six times longer to cover the same area as the pinger locator being towed by the Ocean Shield, and it would take the vehicle about six weeks to two months to canvass the underwater search zone, which is about the size of Los Angeles.

That’s why the acoustic equipment is still being used to hone in on a more precise location, U.S. Navy Capt. Mark Matthews said.

The search for floating debris on the ocean surface was narrowed Thursday to its smallest size yet — 57,900 sq. km or about one-quarter the size it was a few days ago. Fourteen planes and 13 ships were looking for floating debris, about 2,300 km northwest of Perth.

A “large number of objects” were spotted on Wednesday, but the few that had been retrieved by search vessels were not believed to be related to the missing plane, the search co-ordination centre said.

Crews hunting for debris on the surface have already looked in the area they were crisscrossing on Thursday, but were moving in tighter patterns, now that the search zone has been narrowed to about a quarter the size it was a few days ago, Houston said.

Houston has expressed optimism about the sounds detected earlier in the week, saying on Wednesday that he was hopeful crews would find the aircraft — or what’s left of it — in the “not-too-distant future.”

The locator beacons on the black boxes holding the flight data and cockpit voice recorders have a battery life of about a month, and Tuesday marked one month since Flight 370 disappeared. The plane veered off-course for an unknown reason, so the data on the black boxes are essential to finding the plane and solving the mystery.

Investigators suspect it went down in the southern Indian Ocean based on a flight path calculated from its contacts with a communications satellite and analysis of its speed and when it would have run out of fuel.

An Australian government briefing document circulated among international agencies involved in the search on Thursday said it was likely that the acoustic pingers would continue to transmit at decreasing strength for up to 10 more days, depending on conditions.

Once there is no hope left of the Ocean Shield’s equipment picking up any more sounds, the Bluefin sub will be deployed.

Complicating matters, however, is the depth of the seafloor in the search area.

The pings detected earlier are emanating from 4,500 metres below the surface — which is the deepest the Bluefin can dive.

“It’ll be pretty close to its operating limit. It’s got a safety margin of error and if they think it’s warranted, then they push it a little bit,” said Stefan Williams, a professor of marine robotics at Sydney University.

The search co-ordination centre said it was considering available options in case a deeper diving sub is needed. But Williams suspects if that happens, the search will be delayed while an underwater vehicle rated to 6,000 metres is dismantled and air freighted from Europe, the U.S. or Japan.

Williams said colleagues at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts had autonomous and remotely operated underwater vehicles that will dive to 11 km, although they might not be equipped for such a search.

Underwater vessels rated to 6,500 metres could search the seabed of more than 90 per cent of the world’s oceans, Williams said.

Williams said it was unlikely that the wreck had fallen into the narrow Diamantina trench, which is about 5,800 metres deep, since sounds emanating from that depth would probably not have been detected by the pinger locator.

Prosecutor taunts Pistorius at murder trial PRETORIA, South Africa — The chief prosecutor laughed scornfully at an answer from Oscar Pistorius during the Olympic athlete’s murder trial Thursday, mocking the man who shot his girlfriend.

The judge sternly instructed the prosecutor to restrain himself and he apologized — then went right back to trying to pick holes in the testimony of the double-amputee runner.

It was a harsh day of cross-examination for Pistorius, challenged relentlessly about his account of the moments just before he killed Reeva Steenkamp, as well as circumstances related to several firearms charges against him, including the firing of a gun in a crowded restaurant.

Prosecutor Gerrie Nel often sought to goad Pistorius, accusing him of being self-obsessed and hiding the truth about the death of Steenkamp, a 29-year-old model whom he shot through a closed toilet door in his home.

Dressed in a dark suit, Pistorius, 27, responded methodically and in a soft monotone, and only occasionally did his voice rise.

He did not break down in tears as

he has previously this week in the witness box and did not look at Nel. Instead, Pistorius was facing the red-robed judge, Thokozile Masipa, on the dais.

The prosecutor seized on virtually every opportunity to challenge the star athlete’s credibility, asserting that he had a string of unlikely excuses for why he wasn’t to blame in the gun charges he faces on top of murder.

In casting doubt on the Olympian’s honesty, Nel was pushing the prosecution’s argument that Pistorius is also lying that he killed Steenkamp by mistake, thinking she was an intruder, in the pre-dawn hours of Valentine’s Day last year.

Nel briefly erupted in laughter after Pistorius suggested that two witnesses who said they once saw him shoot out of a car sunroof had collaborated and fabricated their accounts.

“I apologize for laughing, I won’t do it again,” Nel said after people in the gallery murmured in surprise at his outburst.

Masipa sternly cautioned him: “If you possibly think this is entertaining, it’s not. So please restrain yourself.”

The judge will deliver a verdict because there is no jury system in South Africa.

BRIEF UN study find slight decline in murder rate worldwide TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras — Global murder rates have declined slightly, but remain very high in the Americas and parts of Africa, according to a new UN study released Thursday.

Homicide rates in southern Africa and Central America are more than four times higher than the global average of 6.2 victims per 100,000 people, the UN Office on Drugs and Crime report said. The figures chronicle murder rates in 2012. The global average was 6.9 in 2010, the year of the last previous study.

That comes as no news to the city of San Pedro Sula, long considered the most violent city in Honduras, the country with the highest murder rate in the world: 90.4 per 100,000 inhabitants, according to the study.

Someone in Honduras is almost 15 times more likely to be murdered than

6.1-magnitude earthquake rattles Nicaragua; no injuries reported MANAGUA, Nicaragua — Panicked Nicaraguans ran into the streets as a 6.1-magnitude earthquake rattled the Central American country on Thursday. Some houses were damaged but there were no immediate reports of injuries.

Nicaraguans from different parts of the country called the popular radio station Radio Ya to report feeling a strong quake and say they had lost electricity and potable water.

Federal government spokeswoman and first lady Rosario Murillo told Radio Ya there were reports that two homes had partially collapsed in Nagarote, a city 50 kilometres northwest of Managua, where one home also partially fell down.

“The damage (to the homes) is minor,” Murillo said.

The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake struck at 5:27 p.m. local time

Real IRA man charged with 29 murders in 1998 Omagh car bomb DUBLIN, Ireland — An Irish Republican Army veteran was charged Thursday with 29 murders over the 1998 car bomb attack on Omagh, the deadliest bombing of the entire Northern Ireland conflict.

Police long have considered Seamus Daly, 43, a prime suspect in the bombing, which was claimed by a breakaway faction called the Real IRA. The

blast tore through a crowd of civilians who had been unwittingly evacuated toward the bomb because of confusing telephoned warnings. Most of those killed were children and women, among them a mother 8 months pregnant with twins.

Daly, who lives in the Republic of Ireland, was arrested Monday by Northern Ireland police in the border town of Newry and was scheduled to be arraigned today at a court in Dungannon, west of Belfast.

He previously served a 3-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to a charge of IRA membership in 2004.

Daly also was ruled responsible for the Omagh bombing in a landmark civil lawsuit. A Belfast jury found that he and three other suspected Real IRA commanders should pay families of the victims more than 1.5 million pounds ($2.5 million), but the men have refused.

Contract killer confesses to 40 murders

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS FRESNO, Calif. — Authorities say that a man charged with carrying out nine contract killings in Central California has confessed that he actually killed 40 people over several decades.

Jose Manuel Martinez, 51, allegedly told investigators he carried out the crimes working as an enforcer for a drug cartel, said Errek Jett, the district attorney in Lawrence County, Alabama. Jett said they believe Martinez because of the details he gave investigators.

Martinez was arrested last year shortly after crossing the border from Mexico into Arizona and sent to Alabama, where he awaits trial on one murder charge. Once word got out, a steady stream of investigators from across the country came to question Martinez, Jett said.

Defence attorney Thomas Turner, who represents Martinez in that lone case, said his client is eager to start a June trial in Alabama, so he can return to California. Turner said Martinez maintains his innocence to the charge there and doesn’t seem to be a hardened killer.

“I’ve found him to be polite and a

likable individual,” Turner said. “He has a good personality as far as talking with him.”

Prosecutors in California say otherwise.

Martinez targeted victims in several counties between 1980 and 2011, said Tulare County Assistant District Attorney Anthony Fultz, who filed charges Tuesday.

Victims ranged in age from 22 to 56, investigators said.

One man was shot dead in 1980 driving to work in the morning, while two men were shot in 1982 working on a ranch, one surviving. The same year, another man went missing before being found two days later by ranchers shot and stabbed to death. Yet another was found in 2000 shot to death in bed with his four children at home.

In addition to the nine murder counts, Martinez was charged in California with one count of attempted murder and the special circumstances of committing multiple murders, lying in wait and kidnapping. Four murder charges include the allegation he committed the crime for financial gain, the criminal complaint says.

The California charges would make Martinez eligible for a death sentence, if he is convicted.

Martinez has lived on and off in Richgrove, a small farming community in Central California north of Bakersfield. He’s being held in Alabama, awaiting trial in a 2013 slaying, and Fultz said he’s also wanted in Florida on suspicion of two killings there in 2006.

Fultz declined to comment on any connection Martinez may have with drug cartels, saying he did not want to damage the case at this early stage.

Fultz said that too will remain under investigation.

Fultz said he is confident Martinez committed at least the nine killings he’s charged with, but he has heard higher figures from across the nation.

“We’re actually not sure what the full scope is,” Fultz said. “It will depend upon what the investigation shows.”

Martinez has spent brief stints in state prison following a 2007 conviction on theft and drug charges, according to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.

Acting Tulare County Sheriff Mike Boudreaux said his deputies came in contact with Martinez while investigating a rash of home-invasion robberies in late 2012 and early 2013.

Martinez was at a home they

searched and was questioned by Sgt. Christal Derington, but not considered a suspect.

From his cell in Alabama, Martinez requested a meeting with Derington, who flew across country three times, because Martinez said “he wanted to talk to her,” Boudreaux told The Fresno Bee. The cases in California came together, he said.

“As a result of Detective Derington’s initial investigations and interviews, we began working on new leads,” Boudreaux said. “While this case has been filed, there is plenty of work to be done.”

Meanwhile, Martinez’s mother told the Los Angeles Times on Wednesday that she was completely overwhelmed by the news of her son’s alleged crimes.

“This is hard for me - really hard,” Loreta Fernandez said in Spanish.

“I’m still shaking. I’m not in a condition to deal with this.”

Fernandez told the paper that the last time she spoke with her son was in June, when he was detained while crossing the Mexican border because there was a warrant for his arrest in Alabama.

She said she didn’t believe he committed the murders.

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — A nationwide strike paralyzed Argentina’s economy on Thursday, shutting down air, train and bus traffic, closing businesses and ports and emptying classrooms. The strike also stopped all non-emergency hospital attention, left garbage in emptied streets and complicated many other aspects of life in the South American nation.

Labour leaders want higher pay, lower taxes and millions of dollars they say are owed to union-run health care providers. The government disputes this debt to the funds, which the unions lost total control of after being accused of misusing the money.

All Argentines are struggling with 30 per cent inflation, but any money for pay raises has to come from somewhere, and analysts say the economy has almost stopped growing for lack of confidence in the country’s future.

Many worry that President Cristina Fernandez, who rules with decree power over many aspects of Argentina’s economy, is squeezing the middle class by raising taxes and fees and cutting subsidies as she seeks funds to appease the unions and other sectors that could threaten her government.

Fernandez was dismissive of the strike.

“If everything is going so badly, who are these thousands and thousands of Argentines I see in the capital, when no restaurant has any empty seats?” she challenged.

But a survey of 450 people last week found 62 per cent agree that the president is “really losing control of things,” the Polldata firm reported.

“We have to think it over 25 times before going out to eat,” Maria Eugenia Diez, a middle-class housewife, complained in an Associated Press interview.

She said she’s sympathetic to the union workers’ salary woes and supports many of the government’s efforts to direct resources to the poor, but thinks the strike just takes more money from everyone’s pockets. She’s also deeply worried about how inflation is reducing everyone’s power to spend, which keeps the economy going.

The 24-hour strike was called by the opposition branch of the nation’s largest union conglomeration, which claimed that more than a million workers stayed home.

If the government doesn’t answer their demands, labour boss Hugo Moyano vowed more and longer strikes in the future.

Oilers get blanked by Kings

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Kings 3 Oilers 0 EDMONTON — The Los Angeles Kings needed to shed some rust heading into the playoffs and the Edmonton Oilers proved to be a perfect solution.

Marian Gaborik had two goals and an assist and Martin Jones made just 17 saves to record his fourth shutout of the season as the Kings snapped a three-game losing skid with a 3-0 victory over the lowly Oilers on Thursday.

“After coming off a bad start (Wednesday) night we talked about having to be ready to play from the start and we did,” Gaborik said. “We got up 1-0 quickly and that for sure helped us. I thought we controlled the game all 60 minutes.”

Anze Kopitar also scored for the Kings (46-28-7), who had won just one of their previous five games.

“We wanted to have a good start and obviously scoring in the first minute helps,” Kopitar said of his goal just 27 seconds in. “After that, we were pressing pretty hard and had some pretty good offensive zone time and brought the game home pretty well with no stress in the end and that’s what you want. Right now we just want to sharpen our game for pretty much a week from now so we’re ready to go in the playoffs.”

Los Angeles has already clinched third in the Pacific Division and will play the second-place San Jose Sharks in the first round of the playoffs.

The Oilers (28-44-9) have lost two in a row and have now been shut out 10 times this season, seven of those coming on home ice.

Always team first for RDC’s top athletes

BY DANNY RODE ADVOCATE STAFF Many times athletes receive individual recognition when they would rather be celebrating team accomplishments.

Not so with this year’s RDC athletes of the year.

Both Amber Adolf and Tim Finnigan received their awards during the annual RDC awards banquet at the iHotel Thursday after already celebrating provincial and national championships with their teammates.

Still both would rather talk about the team results than their own.

“Obviously the highlights happened a couple of weeks ago, but it’s always nice to be recognized,” said Finnigan, who picked up his second straight male athlete of the year award. “I couldn’t be here without the coaches or any of my teammates.”

“This is a bonus,” said Adolf, a second-year power hitter from Trochu. “I couldn’t have done any of this without my teammates. It’s nice to win with your team, but it’s also nice to get recognition on the side.”

Some time down the road she will be able to look at her mantel with pride.

“There will be a lot of good memories from a great year and an amazing team.”

In the end it was a near perfect year for Adolf.

Not only did the Queens dominate play at the provincials and nationals, but Adolf was named the MVP at both championships. She was a first-team All-Conference player and an AllCanadian and picked up a number of player of the game awards in league play and at the nationals. On Thursday

it was also announced she was the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference female athlete of the year for all sports.

She was someone, who continued to improve from the time she joined the Queens last year until the national final.

“Last year I had a couple of shots, but this year I got to see the whole court and work it different than last year,” she explained. “This year our level of play made me play harder and being able to see the whole court (when I was hitting) made it better.”

She also looked back at the end of last year when they finished fourth at the provincials held at RDC, as a major reason for the team’s success this season.

“That certainly drove us to be better,” she said. “I know Brooke (Sutter) came back to try to win and we had one goal from the start. We kept reminding ourselves what it was like to lose.

“We went in wanting to win the ACAC title and the nationals were just a cherry on top,” she said. “We really came together as a team and every person worked hard with the same goal in mind.”

Adolf will move on to the University of Calgary Dinos next season.

“All this will help, but I also knew I’ll need to continue to work hard to take that next step up.”

The Queens first won the national title in 1984 and when they picked up the award this year they were the first team outside of Quebec to win it twice.

Then when the Kings won, RDC was the only school in CCAA history to win both the men’s and women’s volleyball titles in the same season.

The Kings had a slightly different goal heading into this season. They were looking for a national crown after finishing second last year.

Tim Finnigan and Amber Adolf were named RDC athletes of the year during the RDC Awards Banquet at iHotel on Thursday.

“We had more drive to close it out this year,” said Finnigan. “We had the motivation and fire throughout the year. We knew what we had to do and executed. It all worked out.”

For Finnigan himself it was another outstanding season. He led the Kings to a 47-3 record over the last two years and this year led the team in kills, aces and was their most consistent serve receiver. He was named a first team AllConference player and the ACAC male volleyball player of the year.

He was an all-star at both the provincials and nationals and received

the Scott Builder’s student athlete leadership award.

“But I’m always focused on the team goal. It’s more enjoyable to it with your team and enjoy the memories you create within a year.”

Finnigan will return next season.

“We’re losing a lot of guys, but we’re gaining a lot as well,” he said. “We’ll have a good core group returning so I don’t expect anything less from us next year.”

Haas holds early lead at Augusta, Scott one shot back

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS AUGUSTA, Ga. — No nerves. No worries. Adam Scott never knew the opening round at Augusta National could be so enjoyable.

With his green jacket upstairs in the locker room for Masters champions, Scott made only one bad swing that cost him two shots in a round of 3-under 69. It was the lowest opening score by a defending champion in 13 years, and it left Scott one shot behind leader Bill Haas on an otherwise demanding day.

“It was really how you hope to come out and play at any major, and especially the Masters,” Scott said. “And there’s no doubt winning the Masters last year had me a little more comfortable on the first tee than I’ve ever been in the past, because I didn’t have the legs shaking and nerves jangling for six or seven holes like usual.”

Haas, with a rich family history at Augusta that includes a green jacket for his great uncle Bob Goalby, settled down after an opening bogey with a collection of good birdie putts and an 8-iron to 5 feet for birdie on the 18th for a 68.

It was the first time in 18 majors

MASTERS that Haas has had the lead after any round. That only gets him a crystal vase for the low round of the day at the Masters. Haas knows better than to put too much stock into what happens Thursday. He was leading after the opening round in Houston last week and tied for 37th.

“There’s tons of golf left,” he said.

Only one first-round leader in the last 30 years has gone on to win the Masters. Former Masters champion Bubba Watson, who slipped that green jacket on Scott last year, played his first bogey-free round in a major since the 2009 U.S. Open and shot a 69. So did Louis Oosthuizen, whom Watson beat in a playoff at Augusta.

They were the only players to break 70, the fewest for an opening round at the Masters since 2007.

“No one is really going crazy out there in perfect, perfect conditions,” Graeme McDowell said after fighting to salvage a 72.

But there was something about the way Scott played that grabbed most of the attention on such a gorgeous spring day in the South. Golf has been waiting

for a star to take control all year, even more without Tiger Woods at Augusta for the first time in 20 years because of back surgery.

Scott was in control of his emotions and his game all day — except for once.

Walking over to the heart of Amen Corner, the fans behind the 12th tee rose in unison to cheer the champ.

“The memory that will stick with me forever today was walking up to the 12th tee and everyone getting out of their seats as I approached there,” Scott said. “It was great, the level of respect that everyone has for this golf tournament and what happens here.

“But then,” he said with a smile, “I went and hit it in the water.”

Scott’s tee shot bounced off the front slope and into Rae’s Creek — amazingly, he said it was his first shot into the water on that hole — and he made double bogey to fall out of the outright lead. He picked up a birdie on the 14th, and three-putted for par on both the par 5s on the back nine.

Still, there were few complaints.

Augusta National officials knew this would be a gentle day of weather,

and it was clear they made sure the course was anything but that. The hole locations were severe for an opening round. With endless sunshine, the greens became firmer and quicker by the hour.

So many others paid the price.

Jason Dufner took a quadruple-bogey 9 on the 13th hole with only one penalty shot. The worst of his woes was a wedge from the drop area that didn’t even make it to the creek. He wound up with an 80 in his first round in a major since winning the PGA Championship last summer.

He was in good company. Phil Mickelson had a pair of 7s on his card for the first time in five years at a major, and his 76 matched the highest opening round at Augusta for the three-time Masters champion. U.S. Open champion Justin Rose shot 40 on the front and scrambled for a 76.

Jason Day had a 75 in his first event in six weeks.

Blue Jays grounded by Astros

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Astros 6 Blue Jays 4 TORONTO — Toronto ace R.A. Dickey felt like he had complete-game potential at the start of Thursday’s game against Houston.

He was in decent form over the first four innings before the Astros turned on a few floating knuckleballers and built a lead that was too much for the Blue Jays to overcome.

Dickey gave up a two-run homer to Robbie Grossman in the fifth inning and a threerun shot to Jonathan Villar in the seventh as Toronto missed a chance for a three-game sweep by dropping a 6-4 decision to Houston at Rogers Centre.

“It’s a real surprise when I have a knuckleball like that and have the outcome that we had,” Dickey said.

Jason Castro added a solo shot in the eighth inning off reliever Esmil Rogers to help send Toronto (5-5) back to the .500 mark. Colby Rasmus hit a solo homer for the Blue Jays, who scratched out three runs in the bottom of the ninth to make a game of it.

“We’re disappointed, but they outplayed us,” said Toronto manager John Gibbons.

Dickey (1-2) allowed five earned runs, three walks and six hits over seven innings. He said he was pleased with the speed and action on his knuckleball.

“It was moving so much, I was throwing it hard, it felt great out of my hand,” Dickey said. “And then we just had a couple of hiccups and it happened really quickly.”

Starter Dallas Keuchel (11), meanwhile, was sharp for

Houston (4-6). He went seven innings and allowed five hits and one earned run.

“He really showed it tonight against a really good hitting lineup,” said Astros manager Bo Porter. “He was outstanding.”

Keuchel has now gone at least seven innings in each of his three career starts against Toronto.

“Those guys that have got a little finesse, a little command, they have a tendency to give us problems,” Gibbons said.

Toronto brought the potential tying run to the plate in the ninth but Maicer Izturis hit a comebacker to Anthony Bass, who recorded the one out for his first save.

Leadoff man Melky Cabrera doubled in the first inning to extend his hitting streak to 10 games. He moved to third on a sacrifice bunt but was left stranded when Jose Bautista popped up and Edwin Encarnacion grounded out.

Castro led off the fourth inning with a sharp single to centre field for the Astros’ first hit of the game.

He was forced out at second base when Jose Altuve hit into a fielder’s choice.

Dickey caught Altuve leaning towards second base on a leadoff and picked him off for the second out before fanning Chris Carter.

Marc Krauss led off the fifth with a double off the wall in right-centre field and moved to third when Matt Dominguez grounded out to first base.

Grossman turned on a 3-0 pitch for his first homer of the season.

Dominguez made a stellar defensive play in the fifth inning to rob Brett Lawrie of

Justin Holl scores with 0.6 seconds left, Minnesota beats North Union advances to Frozen Four Dakota 2-1 in NCAA semis title game, beating Boston College

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PHILADELPHIA — Justin Holl scored a short-handed goal with 0.6 seconds left to give Minnesota a 2-1 victory over North Dakota on Thursday night in the NCAA hockey semifinals.

Minnesota (28-6-6) will face Union College in the title game Saturday night. Union beat Boston College 5-4 in the first semifinal at Wells Fargo Center.

Holl scored his first goal of the season, beating Zane Gothberg to the glove side with a shot just inside the post. Sam Warning opened the scoring for Minnesota with 9:09 left, and Connor Gaarder tied it for North Dakota 32 seconds later. Adam Wilcox made 36 saves for Minnesota, and Gothberg stopped 26 shots.

Minnesota advanced to its 11th championship game and first since 2003, the year it won the last of its five titles.

North Dakota (25-14-3) entered the tournament as an at-large No. 4 seed in the Midwest Region and beat top-seeded Wisconsin and second-seeded Ferris State in double overtime.

After playing through two scoreless periods, Warning finally broke through on a secondchance backhand shot in the slot. But Gaarder countered, putting the puck between Wilcox and the post on his own rebound.

North Dakota nearly found the back of the net twice in the closing minutes of the second period. First, Drake Caggiula had an open net,

OILERS: Disappointing “Tonight was a really disappointing effort on all fronts except for goaltending,” said Oilers forward Taylor Hall. “By no means is a good effort in our last game going to make up for the 82 games that we have played, but it would certainly be better than going out on a bad note.

If we had to leave the season after a game like tonight’s, that would leave a bit of a sting.”

The loss dropped Edmonton back into 29th place in the NHL, a point back of the Florida Panthers, who defeated Toronto 4-2 on the night.

“It is a bit of a wakeup call,” said Oilers forward David Perron of the shutout loss. “Everyone was happy with the way we had been playing over the last few games and it is a reminder that there is a lot of work to be done and that we had all put a lot of work in over the summer to get ready individually.”

It didn’t take the Kings long to start the scoring, going up 1-0 on the game’s first shot 27 seconds into the first period. Justin Williams threw a pass in front of the Oilers net and it hit the stick of an Oilers defender before ending up in front for Kopitar, who sent his 200th career NHL goal past Edmonton goalie Viktor Fasth.

“You can’t give a Stanley Cup contender a lead that early,” said Oilers head coach Dallas Eakins. “Our top line was on the ice and it was a really easy assignment there and it was in our net. That can’t happen.”

The Kings went up by a pair nine minutes into the first period. Willie Mitchell flubbed a shot from the point but it ended up right on the stick of Gaborik, who beat Fasth for his 10th goal of the season in his 40th game.

Los Angeles almost padded its lead with three minutes left in the first, but a Jarret Stoll power-play shot clanged off the post.

The Kings had 11 first-period shots, while Edmonton only managed four on Jones.

Edmonton had its first real scoring chance of the game minutes into the second period when Perron circled the net and had Jones going the wrong way, but the Kings goalie recovered in time to make a huge diving save on Hall.

PHILADELPHIA — Daniel Ciampini broke a third-period tie with the second of his three goals to help Union beat Boston College 5-4 in the NCAA hockey semifinals Thursday night.

The Dutchmen (31-6-4) advanced to the final for the first time. They will face the Minnesota-North Dakota winner in the championship game Saturday night.

Mat Bodie and Mike Vecchione also scored and Colin Stevens made 34 saves for Union, the small, liberal arts college from Schenectady, N.Y. Johnny Gaudreau, Steve Santini, Ryan Fitzgerald and Patrick Brown scored for Boston College (28-8-4).

Ciampini broke a 2-2 tie on a power play at 6:31 of the third period, tipping in Shayne Gostisbehere’s one-timer from the point.

Only 18 seconds later, Union’s Matt Hatch was given a major penalty and game misconduct for checking Scott Savage from behind into the boards, giving Boston College a 5-minute power play.

The Eagles failed to score, and Vecchione gave Union a two-goal advantage with 8:07 left off a rebound after goalie Thatcher Demko stopped Kevin Sullivan on a breakaway attempt.

With Demko off for an extra attacker, Fitzgerald cut it 4-3 with 1:45 to go. Ciampini restored the two-goal margin with an empty-net goal with 1:09 left, and Brown completed the scoring on a power play with 4.2 seconds to go.

Los Angeles got a gift goal with six minutes to play in the second period as Gaborik took a wrist shot just across the blue-line that Fasth only got a piece of before it caromed into the net.

It appeared that Gaborik had his hat trick on a power play with six minutes to play in the third, however, the goal was called back due to goaltender interference by Williams.

The Kings outshot Edmonton 48-17 in the game and 23-3 in the third period.

Both teams close out the regular season on Saturday as the Oilers play host to the Vancouver Canucks in the final game for both clubs, while the Kings return home for their final preplayoff tune-up against the Anaheim Ducks.

RDC: Best decision Finnigan played two seasons at SAIT before switching to RDC last season.

“It was the best decision I ever made,” he said.

Basketball’s Mozanga Ekwalanga, hockey’s Jade Petrie and soccer’s Adi Moyer were also considered on the women’s side. Finnigan’s teammate Sam Brisbane, basketball’s Lloyd Strickland, golf’s Kyle Morrison, cross-country runner Devin Woodland and hockey Kings forward Riley Simpson were finalists on the men’s side.

GOLF: Easier Vijay Singh also opened with a 69 when he was the defending champion in 2001, but that was different. Conditions were easier that year, and Singh was four shots behind. On this day, only 19 players broke par.

Jimmy Walker, Kevin Stadler and Jonas Blixt — among the record 24 newcomers to the Masters — were in the group at 70. The group at 71 included young (20-year-old Jordan Spieth) and old (54-year-old Fred Couples), and a former No. 1 in Rory McIlroy.

Gibbons challenged a call later in the frame when Cabrera was called out at first base.

Cabrera stumbled out of the batter’s box and Dominguez bobbled the ball at third base before recovering to fire a throw that was barely in time at first.

The umpires reviewed

the play and the original call stood to end the inning.

In the seventh, Dominguez hit a one-out double and Grossman walked. After a visit to the mound by pitching coach Pete Walker, Villar crushed Dickey’s first pitch to deep centre for his second homer of the season.

Calgary Flames closing out a season chock full of nail-biting games

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — Does playing 49 games decided by a single goal this season mean the Calgary Flames’ rebuild will be quick?

There’s been both fun and frustration winning 25 and losing 24 of them, but what the tight games have done is bought goodwill and patience from the Flames’ fan base.

Calgary (35-38-7) will finish out of the playoffs for a fifth straight season when their campaign concludes Sunday in Vancouver. With two games remaining, the Flames can finish no higher than 24th in the 30-team league.

Calgary hosts the Winnipeg Jets today in what will be their home finale and the last game of the season for the Jets, who will also have an early summer.

The Flames compensated for their lack of talent this season with tenacity, which contributed to so many narrow scores. It also generated hope for the future, which is a necessary ingredient for any professional sports franchise out of the post-season.

“I’ve been in hockey for a long time. I got only one standing ovation,” Flames head coach Bob Hartley said Thursday. “I saw my team get a standing ovation here this year after a loss. That’s probably a first in hockey history and it shows . . . the passion that our fans have for our hockey club.

“I understand that they’re showing patience. They see guys never give up, guys block shots, go to the wall and they respect that. We established a blue-collar attitude over here and this is the first step of being successful.”

The NHL doesn’t keep this statistic, but according to the Elias Sports Bureau 49 onegoal games has ties a league record set in 2010-11 by the Florida Panthers.

The shootout introduced in 2005-06 increased the likelihood of games decided by a goal. The Flames were 14-7 in games that went beyond regulation.

“We’ve gained a lot of experience playing tight games,” captain Mark Giordano said.

“I can’t remember too many games this year that come the third period that the game is decided. It’s been pretty cool.

“We know we can compete with everyone, but it’s a fine line because at some point, you have to start winning those to get into the playoffs.

“You can look at both sides of it and the next step for us is we want to win some games next year that are more comfortable wins.”

Calgary has been in nextyear territory for some time

now, so they’re a loose team not burdened by expectations or conserving anything for more important games later.

The Flames have won four in a row, seven of their last 10 and helped spoil the playoff aspirations of the New Jersey Devils on a recent road trip.

Calgary goaltender Karri Ramo is hitting his stride after sitting out 15 games with a knee injury in February and March.

The Flames squandered a three-goal lead Wednesday, but with help from Ramo’s 41 saves, held on for a 4-3 shootout victory against the playoffbound Los Angeles Kings.

“It’s a good way to throw the young guys into the fire,” forward Joe Colborne said.

“When there’s a close game going on, every mistake gets magnified, so you definitely have to learn quickly you need to minimize those mistakes, especially as the game gets closer and closer.

“We have a hard-working team. We’re not the most skilled team in the league for sure right now, but we’ve proven we’ll go up against anyone.”

The Jets are the thirdclosest Canadian team to the Flames geographically, but are in Calgary just once during the season because of the NHL’s current divisional alignments.

So there’s novelty in today’s windup at Scotiabank Saddledome. For those old enough to remember, it conjures memories of their Smythe Division rivalries of the 1980s.

“Tomorrow is going to be an easy game to get up for,” Giordano said. “We want to put on a good show. It’s the last one of the year for them. Those Winnipeg games, there always seems to be a lot of energy in the building.

“It will be a cool game for sure. It’s been great in here lately.

“We’ve been cheered off the ice in some losses. It’s funny how the games goes. Different organization are different stages. Because of that, there’s different expectations.”

Calgary currently sits in the bottom five teams in the NHL, but their recent hot streak decreases the odds of getting the first overall pick in next Tuesday’s NHL draft lottery.

“There’s no way you’re going to come in here looking to lose a game,” Giordano said.

“Hopefully the last two, we can get two wins and go home feeling great.”

The Flames also own the Canadian Football League’s Calgary Stampeders. Stampeders head coach and general manager John Hufnagel watched hockey practice Thursday and talked “coaching philosophies” with Hartley.

Trio of NFL players named in Miami police report

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MIAMI — Three NFL players are named in a police report involving a woman who passed out in a hotel and later woke up in a hospital not knowing how she got there, though no one has been charged with a crime, authorities said Thursday.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick and wide receiver Quinton Patton, and Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Ricardo Lockette, were with the woman at a Miami hotel where Lockette lives, according to the Miami Police Department report.

Police stressed that the report contained only unproven allegations at this point. “As far as whether there was a crime committed, it’s too early to say,� said police spokeswoman Kenia Reyes.

The account of the woman, who was not identified by police, is described in the report: The woman mixed drinks and gave the men shots, and the men told her “in order to drink the shots she had to ’hit’ the bong which contained marijuana.�

The four were watching a basketball game when the woman began feeling light-headed and went to lie down in a bedroom. Kaepernick came into the room, began kissing her and undressed her completely. The woman told police that they did not have sex, and that Kaepernick left the bedroom saying he’d be right back.

A few minutes later, the woman told police, the other two men “peeked� inside. She said to them, “What are you doing? Where is Colin? Get out.�

The report says the woman does not remember anything after that and later woke up in a hospital room with no memory of how she got there.

The woman told police she has had a sexual relationship with Kaepernick in the past.

right now, but he has mentioned during the mitts and so forth that if he hurts this guy, he’ll finish him,� Roach told the AP. “He showed me the combination he’ll use. I like that, because he’s talking about hurting people for the first time in a long time. I think that hunger is back a little bit.�

When Pacquiao is asked about Bradley’s bold declarations, he doesn’t respond in kind.

While Roach insists Pacquiao knows and cares about the perceived disrespect, he doesn’t engage in verbal sparring. “Maybe I’m too nice and too kind in the ring sometimes,� Pacquiao said while wrapping his hands for his final Wild Card workout earlier this week. “Maybe I’ll try to change it.�

After nearly a year away, Pacquiao looked solid last fall in a clearcut victory over Brandon Rios. But Pacquiao’s inability to stop a defencedeficient opponent stoked the discussion about whether Pacquiao’s most dynamic days are over. “I couldn’t believe it when I saw him take a backwards step in the 12th round,� said Bradley, who has stopped just one opponent himself in the last seven years. “He didn’t try to engage. He didn’t try to finish. I had never seen that from Manny Pacquiao before. It’s amazing to me.�

He claims he simply doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care what Pacquiao (55-5-2, 38 KOs) thinks or does with that bulletin-board material, and that might be Bradleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest indictment of all. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t affect him if he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe it,â&#x20AC;?

Bradley told The Associated Press. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He definitely started thinking, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Maybe I am too nice. Maybe I have lost my fire.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; He started second-guessing himself and really thinking about it.

Freddie (Roach) should thank me for saying that.

If he gets offended by it, he needs to check himself. Maybe he got a reality check.â&#x20AC;?

Roach believes that check will get cashed at the MGM Grand Garden. Pacquiaoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s longtime trainer insists he sees signs of the hellacious puncher who captivated the boxing world during a 15-fight winning streak before that hotly disputed loss to Bradley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really winding my guy up to be explosive in this fight, so I thank him for that,â&#x20AC;?

Roach said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Manny feels like heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s being disrespected, like itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little bit of a slap in the face.â&#x20AC;?

For the first time in several camps, Pacquiao knocked down a sparring partner at Roachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wild Card Boxing Club. For the first time in ages, Pacquiao is talking about inflicting pain rather than minimizing it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very religious

LOS ANGELES â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Manny Pacquiaoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest pastor wants him up at 5 a.m. every day for prayers. The eight-division champion sometimes has 100 people and a yappy dog named Pacman in his home after training sessions, playing darts and carousing into the night.

Even during a hiatus from his duties as a Filipino congressman, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough to see how a great boxer could keep his focus and fire amid Pacquiaoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hectic life and long career.

According to Timothy Bradley, Pacquiao canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When was the last time you saw him knock somebody out?â&#x20AC;? Bradley asked, knowing itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been nearly five years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the same guy. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more compassionate, more kind. That spark isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t there. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not good for a boxer.â&#x20AC;?

Bradley isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afraid to voice unpopular opinions. After all, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the few prominent boxing observers who believe he actually won his first fight with Pacquiao two years ago, a split decision that sent Bradley on a wild career loop of his own.

When Bradley (31-0, 12 KOs) repeatedly declares Pacquiao has lost his killer instinct and competitive fire heading into their highly anticipated welterweight rematch Saturday in Las Vegas, he realizes it could motivate Pacquiao to produce his best per-

Winless Kenseth hoping to get season on track

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NASCAR

Photo by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Matt Kenseth looks out from the garage area during a NASCAR practice at the Darlington Speedway in Darlington, S.C., Thursday. Kenseth enjoyed his first career Sprint Cup victory at Darlington Raceway last season and hopes a second straight win on will lock him into the championship chase.

DARLINGTON, S.C. — Matt Kenseth hopes to get his season going and lock up a spot in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup at Darlington Raceway.

Kenseth came to the Southern 500 last May one of Sprint Cup’s hottest drivers, winning twice in his first season driving for Joe Gibbs Racing.

This time, Kenseth comes in winless through seven races under the new NASCAR format where a victory pretty much ensures a driver a spot in the 16-team playoffs.

“I’ve never been at a race I didn’t want to win,” Kenseth said. “We show up every week with our best stuff trying to figure out how to sit on the pole and win the race. That’s never really changed since I started racing.”

Kenseth and his JGR team got it done a season ago, taking the Southern 500 and enhancing the driver’s fast start with his new program. Kenseth hopes that past success gives him a leg up for Saturday night’s race — and gets him locked into the playoffs.

Kenseth’s not the only regular winner without a trip to Victory Lane this year. Six-time series champion Jimmie Johnson hasn’t won. Neither has cur-

rent points leader Jeff Gordon, Greg Biffle or Tony Stewart with 19 races remaining before the playoffs begin.

Kenseth said he and his team aren’t panicking with plenty of time remaining to claim a victory or get in on points — still a possibility in Kenseth’s mind despite no multiple winners so far this season.

But Kenseth doesn’t spend any more or less time considering his placing after each race. That might change, he says, if he gets to late summer without a victory and trying to qualify for the playoffs on points.

“History suggests that there are going to be a few guys added by points who didn’t win,” he said. “Certainly, if that’s the case, the point standings are very important.”

Kenseth has long handled the vagaries of NASCAR’s old point systems that sometimes put more importance on consistency than victories. In 2002, Kenseth won five races but was well behind series champion Stewart in the final standings. The next season, Kenseth took a steadier approach, built a large points lead by the summer and held on for his NASCAR championship.

But Kenseth’s not sure how all this will shake out the next five months.

“Are we going to have 10 winners?

Are we going to have 20 winners?” he said. “There’s no telling how important points are going to be.”

Kenseth overtook the dominant car of Gibbs’ teammate, Kyle Busch, when Busch’s tire had a slow leak and he dropped out of the lead with 13 laps to go. Busch had led 265 laps, but settled for sixth — his fifth top-10 finish in nine career starts at Darlington.

Busch earned his playoff spot with a win last month in the Auto Club 400 at Fontana, Calif. He’s not sure how important it was to win so early, only that it gave his team some relief about where they’ll be come September.

“It certainly takes a load off your shoulders and just kind of relieves a little bit, puts another breath in your sails,” Busch said. “There are going to be guys who get in, I believe without wins. It sort of guarantees your spot, so now it gives you more opportunity to experiment.”

Penske racer Joey Logano won that right with victory at Texas Motor Speedway earlier this week as the series heads into Darlington.

NEW YORK — Nine former players have sued the NHL over concussions, saying the league subjects its players to “devastating and long-term” health consequences by failing to warn players of the risks and consequences of head trauma.

The lawsuit in Manhattan federal court was filed several months after a similar lawsuit was filed by 10 former NHL players in Washington.

Both lawsuits seek unspecified damages, along with a medical monitoring program to care for former and current NHL players.

A message for comment from an NHL spokesman was not immediately returned.

TFC signing tops list of MLS salaries BRADLEY, DEFOE AMONG HIGHEST PAID AFTER FIGURES RELEASED BY PLAYERS UNION

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — The lid has been lifted a little on the cost of Toronto FC’s rebirth, with a 2014 player payroll almost quadrupled from last season.

Figures released Thursday by the MLS Players Union show that Toronto is home to three of the 12 players in the league making million-dollarplus salaries in 2014.

Seattle Sounders striker Clint Dempsey is the league’s highest-paid player at $6.695 million (all figures U.S.). Two Toronto players are next with U.S. midfielder Michael Bradley at $6.5 million and England striker Jermain Defoe at $6.18 million.

Los Angeles Galaxy players ranked fourth and fifth with forward Landon Donovan listed at $4.583 million and Irish striker Robbie Keane at $4.5 million.

Two New York Red Bulls are next: French striker Thierry Henry at $4.35 million and Australian midfielder Tim Cahill at $3.625.

Montreal forward Marco Di Vaio is the highest-paid Impact player at $2.6 million (eighth in the league) while midfielder Pedro Morales leads the Vancouver Whitecaps at $1.41 million (10th).

Toronto’s Brazilian striker Gilberto earns $1.2 million (12th), making for a total TFC payroll of $16.65 million. That compares to a team total of $4.35 million last season, according to the union’s September 2013 numbers.

The TFC spending spree is

paying dividends with Toronto (3-1-0) currently second in the Eastern Conference standings. The team managed only six wins in 2013 when it went 6-17-11.

Tim Leiweke, CEO and president of Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment, has said the soccer club will lose money this season because of the outlay, however.

The other million-dollarplus earners are Seattle forward Obafemi Martins ($1.753 million, ninth) and Los Angeles defender Omar Gonzalez ($125 million, 11th).

All 12 are designated players, meaning that only $387,500 of their pay counts against their club’s $3.1-million salary cap.

The union figures do not include performance bonuses.

Not do they show instances where players are provided accommodations, which an union spokesman said was rare but can happen.

And it’s safe to assume that Julio Cesar, the Brazilian international goalkeeper on loan with Toronto from Queens Park Rangers, is not having to scrape by on a mere $202,000.

QPR is no doubt topping up his bank account big-time.

Thanks to the league’s complicated rules, player salaries may be larger than listed by the union. Teams can used socalled allocation money to buy down player salaries, including the cap hit of DPs. MLS rules state: “Clubs have the option of buying down’ the budget charge of a designated player with allocation money. The reduced

charge may not be less than $150,000.”

Still the union salary figures offer a look at a league of haves and have not’s.

Mark Bloom, a 26-year-old fullback who has played every minute of Toronto’s first four games, is listed as making $48,825. On the plus side, Bloom’s salary was $46,500 last season.

The extra money will come in handy now that Bloom’s wife is expecting their first child.

To put Bradley’s and Defoe’s $6-million-plus 2014 salaries in perspective, Toronto Maple Leafs stars Phil Kessel and Dion Phaneuf signed eight-year, $64-million and seven year, $49-million contract extensions, respectively, earlier this season.

Phaneuf is making $5.5 million this season while Kessel is getting $5.4 million.

Raptors forward Amir Johnson, another member of the MLSE family, reportedly makes the same money as Bradley at $6.5 million.

That’s some $6 million more than Toronto Argonauts quarterback Ricky Ray reportedly will make this season and he’s the highest-paid player in the CFL. Veteran Canadian international Dwayne De Rosario, who rejoined Toronto FC during the off-season, is listed at $173,000. That’s down from the $645,333 he got last year with D.C. United.

Toronto captain Steven Caldwell’s listed salary is $364,167 while Vancouver skipper Jay DeMerit is at $2457,500

Toronto FC ‘s Michael Bradley is making the second most in the MLS this season, just ahead of the team’s other newly acquired player, Jermain Defoe, according to figures released Thursday. and Montreal captain Patrice Bernier makes $205,000.

Canadian international midfielder Will Johnson, who captains the Portland Timbers, is listed at $325,000.

Newly acquired Impact striker Jack McInerney is making $294,167 while Vancouver forward Kenny Miller is at $940,000, down from $1.25 million a year ago.

Toronto midfielder Jonathan Osorio got a healthy raise, moving to $142,600 from $46,500. Goalie Joe Bendik went to $147,375 from $46,500, only to lose his starting job to Cesar.

TORONTO — Former UFC champion Georges St-Pierre says his knee surgery went well and the rehab that looms ahead won’t impact his decision on whether to return to mixed martial arts competition.

The 32-year-old Montreal fighter’s left knee was operated on Wednesday in Los Angeles. He had reconstructive surgery on the other knee in December 2011.

“I climbed Everest once before and I’m going to climb it again — if I want to,” St-Pierre told The Canadian Press on Thursday. “It’s not a problem for me. . . . Anyway I didn’t plan to come back to competition before 2015.

“And if I want to come back, when I want to come back, I’ll do it again. I’ll have all the tools to do it again.

I’m not going to be less strong or less athletic — I’m going to be just better.”

“I’ll have two bionic knees,” he added.

St-Pierre (25-2) vacated his 170-pound title in December, saying he needed a break from the sport. He made the announcement just weeks after winning a controversial split decision over Johny (Big Rigg) Hendricks at UFC 167.

St-Pierre kept training and tore his anterior cruciate ligament during a recent workout. He was wrestling “a kid” and believes his knee caught in a mat and twisted.

“It was like someone hurt his back by tying up his shoes.”

Both knee operations were done by Los Angeles-based surgeon Neal ElAttrache, who looked after NFL star Tom Brady’s knee in 2009.

“I believe he’s the best in the world,” said the fighter.

St-Pierre plans to spend the next three months rehabbing in Los Angeles, using the same team as he did for the last operation.

While he is on painkillers in the immediate wake of the surgery, he said he was in good spirits.

“Perfect timing for me that I get hurt right now,” he said. “That’s the way to look at it.”

er Graham Zusi, at $398,250, is the highest-paid member of defending champion Sporting Kansas City. But he is also one of six players making more than $200,000 on the roster. Toronto has five players above $200,000.

MLS has a ways to go to catch other leagues. Barcelona pays Argentine star Lionel Messi more than $21 million a year, according to Forbes magazine.

The MLS union numbers include the player’s base salary and all signing and guaranteed bonuses annualized over the term of the player’s contract, including option years.

sations that put him on the defensive.

If necessary, go back for counseling and work on this.

Dear Annie: My cousin’s son recently married. Aside from my cousin’s immediate family, there were only a few family members invited to the wedding. It wasn’t a small wedding. There were at least 200 guests.

The problem is the way my cousin and her husband acted toward us. My cousin seemed upset all evening. She was fairly cordial, but acted stressed.

Her husband, whom we’ve known for 35 years, did not greet or acknowledge our presence. He was cold and absolutely rude. They sat at our table and had nothing to say. While the bridesmaids gave speeches, they occupied themselves with their cellphones.

We felt unwelcome. The bride barely looked our way and didn’t give us a chance to congratulate her, although the groom briefly greeted us.

I want to tell my cousin how rude her husband was, but I’m not sure how to approach her. How do we handle this? — N.J. Dear N.J.: You are making a lot of

assumptions about your cousin’s behaviour. We think her stress and her husband’s coldness had nothing to do with you. More likely, their behaviour was a result of wedding stress (and possibly the bride). And remember that sitting with the groom’s parents is a great honour. If they wanted to insult you, they would have seated you much farther away. Unless they do other things that are deliberately rude, please say nothing.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Boondoggled in Boise,” whose father refused to let the granddaughter see his coin collection and demanded it be sold through a third party. Why didn’t you suggest that the sons talk to the third party and buy the coins for fair market value?

Dad doesn’t need to know his kids are the buyers. He gets to sell the coins the way he wants, and the brothers get to keep them in the family. — Know About Difficult Relatives Please email your questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or write to: Annie’s Mailbox, c/o Creators Syndicate, 737 3rd Street, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254.

Ask The Dentist! by Dr. Michael Dolynchuk, DDS

Husbands Who Ignore Their Dentistry Dear Dr. D: My husband is a smart man, and a good provider. There is nothing I would like to change about him but his darn teeth. He has a partial denture that looks like chicklets, and it causes trouble for him to chew. He spends hours detailing his truck but I cannot get him to pay attention to his embarrassing mouth.

A: This is puzzling, but not uncommon. Different people prioritize in strange fashions, and for your man who wouldn't dream of driving down Gaetz Ave in a dirty truck he apparently doesn't see the problem with his teeth. This is a problem with being in denial. If you have a headache long enough it seems normal. Substandard dental work is almost the same. The reality is that never have there been better options out there to restore almost anyone's teeth than right now. That partial denture can be replaced by either a fixed bridge restoration that acts and looks like the teeth it replaced – and if he wants a truly first class result dental implants may be in store for him. One of the biggest factors that prevent adults from finally seeking dental help is fear of the unknown. Dentalphobia is the term for the 30% of the population who would rather pay more income tax than visit a dentist. This is a deep seated fear that usually is rooted in unpleasant dental experiences with an old school practitioner who may have retired decades ago! The unpleasantness that these patients recall with vivid clarity really belongs in a museum. Most dental procedures are perfectly comfortable these days – even complex oral surgery. The most common thing, actually, is patients wondering why nothing 'hurt' like they presumed it would. Science is a wonderful thing sometimes, and pain management is a big part of that.

Another factor that comes up is really ignorance of the other options. We have multiple ways to repair and restore a mouth. All we ask is that a patient come in and let us explain them. The computer technology now to demonstrate exactly where the bone is, and also how dense it is gives modern dentists a real 'leg up' on identifying all the options. We even have imaging services that show a patient how they will look after a treatment – and this is all in the consulting stage. If your husband could see the difference we can make, I wager that he'll spend the time so his mouth will look every bit as good as his prized vehicle!

weekly program on SiriusXM is that such stories are common.

“Not a week goes by, not a month goes by without another headline about an athlete coming out,” said Dave Gorab, the company’s vice-president for talk programming.

When Eddie Robinson, who has worked for the SiriusXM SportsZone channel, pitched the idea, Gorab said his immediate reaction was “we have to do this.” As host, Robinson envisions a mix of news analysis, features and listener call-ins.

One of the guests for Sunday’s premiere is Sheryl Swoopes, the women’s basketball star who at one time was the most recognizable athlete to come out in a team sport.

Robinson’s resume reads like someone preparing for this job — except the position never existed until he created it.

Why are Canadian measles outbreaks so much larger than U.S. outbreaks?

AMERICANS MORE AGGRESSIVE IN TERMS OF TRACKING, IMPLEMENTING CONTROL MEASURES

It’s an inescapable reality: As long as measles is infecting children in other parts of the world, Canada is going to have occasional outbreaks.

The same is true in the United States, but public health officials there typically have managed to more quickly extinguish spread of the virus when it comes from abroad, leaving some experts on this side of the border wondering: Why does Canada have such large measles outbreaks?

There have been at least 375 cases in the ongoing outbreak in British Columbia’s Fraser Valley.

An outbreak in Quebec in 2011 racked up a whopping 725 confirmed cases, following on a 2007 outbreak of 94 cases in that province.

The Vancouver Olympics, which brought people to the city from around the world, touched off an outbreak of roughly 80 cases in B.C. in early 2010.

By comparison the largest outbreak the U.S. has experienced in nearly two decades occurred in an Orthodox Jewish community in Brooklyn, N.Y., last year. Total cases: 58.

Indeed most measles outbreaks south of the border are far smaller, coming in at under two dozen cases, and many times fewer than a handful.

What explains the substantial difference in numbers?

“Well, that’s the question,” Dr. Gaston De Serres says. “That’s the question.”

“They have more importations per year than Canada. And yet, you know, the size of outbreaks they had in the U.S. in the past 10 years is way smaller than what we have in Canada.”

De Serres is an infectious diseases specialist with Quebec’s provincial public health agency; he led intensive studies into that province’s 2011 outbreak.

He and some colleagues are now looking at this Canada-U.S. question, trying to figure out how to explain why Canada has had such large outbreaks of late.

Their investigation will likely lead to a scientific paper, so De Serres is reluctant to spell out all his theories now.

But one possibility he raises relates to the way public health authorities north and south of the border respond to reports of an imported case of measles.

“The Americans are far, far more aggressive in terms of tracking every case and implementing control measures,” says De Serres. “That might be a difference between the countries.”

Both countries have high measles vaccination coverage — coverage that is high enough to have stopped measles viruses from spreading here regularly, as they did before the introduction of the vaccine.

In fact, the virus is no longer endemic in the countries of the Americas, which are in the process of trying to be certified as having eliminated measles.

Measles is a respiratory disease caused by a virus of the same name.

It causes fever, runny nose and a characteristic rash all over the body.

Most people recover, but the infection is fatal in between one and three of every 1,000 cases.

Measles is targeted for global eradication.

When all six of the World Health Organization regions stop local spread of measles, the disease can be declared eradi-

cated.

The Pan American Health Organization, the WHO regional body for this region, said the Americas achieved elimination status in 2002, but the process of formally certifying that accomplishment hasn’t yet been completed.

And it could conceivably be threatened by large outbreaks sparked by imported measles cases, such as Quebec’s 2011 outbreak.

That outbreak lasted almost a year; 12 months of continuous spread of measles in one country would reset the clock on the elimination effort for the entire region.

The Public Health Agency of Canada describes measles vaccination coverage in Canada high but uneven.

A 2009 national immunization survey found

about 92 per cent of twoyear-olds had received the first of two doses, but only 69 per cent of sevenyear-olds had received the second dose.

Rates are similar in the U.S., where in 2012 nearly 91 per cent of children had received at least one dose of measles vaccine.

Both countries have pockets of unvaccinated children. When those pockets are small — a few kids in a school full of vaccinated children — a case of measles brought back from a country where the virus circulates won’t trigger a big outbreak because there are few unprotected kids to infect.

But when there are more unvaccinated children — or adults — transmission can go on for weeks, as it has in the Fraser Valley outbreak.

Still, De Serres says Canada does not have more vaccine opponents than the U.S. does, and both countries have religious groups that oppose vaccination.

So if the circumstances are roughly the same, is the response what makes the difference?

A 2008 outbreak in San Diego, Calif., is a good illustration of the lengths to which public health officials in the United States go to contain measles when the virus makes an incursion.

Dr. Jane Seward is the top measles expert at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta.

She says the response to measles across the United States is swift and robust.

“Even one case in the United States is considered an ‘outbreak.’ Although our outbreak def-

inition is three or more cases, with even a single case our surveillance guidelines are for states to very, very rapidly report that case,” she says.

“Even a suspected case before confirmation, it needs to be reported to the CDC within 24 hours.

And then the case needs to be investigated and all the people who were in contact with that case need to be assessed for evidence of immunity and offered vaccine or immune globulin” — a serum of antibodies — “as appropriate if they don’t have evidence of immunity.”

People who are sick are told to isolate themselves. People who are exposed but don’t yet have symptoms are told to quarantine themselves. People who don’t voluntarily comply are sometimes hit with court

orders to do so, such as in a 2004 measles outbreak in Iowa.

This aggressive approach is not cheap. A study by CDC scientists published in the journal Vaccine reported that 16 measles outbreaks in the U.S. in 2011 cost taxpayers between US$2.7 million and US$5.3 million.

Canadian public health authorities have essentially the same tools at their disposal but may not employ them as rigorously as their American counterparts.

Dr. Lisa Mu, medical officer of health with the Fraser Health Authority, says the B.C. Public Health Act gives public health workers broad powers, but authorities prefer not to use them if they don’t have to.

Fraser Health tries to take a collaborative approach, Mu says.

BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF Tail Creek Raceway owner Jason Jahner’s dream of taking his racing events to a whole new level is off to a good start.

Lacombe County’s municipal planning commission conditionally approved Jahner’s bid to add music to his four summer four-by-four truck racing events.

The premier event will be the inaugural Tail Creek Mud and Music Festival set for June 27-29 that hopes to draw up to 8,000 each day at the site about five km southeast of Alix.

A smaller event is expected to draw up to 1,500, and two others around 500 people.

Jahner said Tail Creek Raceway has been in the family since the 1960s, and his late father first had the idea of mixing music and motorsports.

“It was my dad’s actual dream to have big events of this calibre,” he said. “It’s been a dream of mine too for a long time.

I’ve got a lot of sweat equity, personally, into it.”

The weekend around Canada Day has been the site for the past six years of the High Riders Competition, which features extreme four-by-four trucks and has drawn crowds up to 2,500.

“The off-roading itself and the competition has been getting bigger and bigger every year. We’re seeing more and more families coming to this event,” he said, adding the number of participants is also on the upswing.

Promoter William Gold expects the event will fill a need in Central Alberta and will stack up favourably against other festivals.

“What we’re offering is a lot more,” said Gold, who is confident they will reach daily draws of 7,000 to 8,000 people.

“We’re not doing one big band on one big night. We’re doing two big bands, every night for three nights in a row. “(We’re) combining that with the largest four-by-four event in Canada, the richest and largest. We’re now cross-breeding two different avenues together to bolster those numbers.”

The music format will be folk, indie and alt rock aimed at Generations X, Y and millennials, he told the planning commission, which includes all county council members.

Gold said the event will feature big-name acts and regional performers.

The bottom half of the festival lineup is expected to be announced early next week, with headliners announced a week to 10 days later.

“We’ll be bringing in over six interna-

tional acts that are of calibre that would be playing Rexall Place or Commonwealth Stadium,” he said.

“We are bringing in a full-fledged mainstay concert and festival to this area that needs it.”

He predicts the music festival will give smaller communities in the county, such as Alix and Delburne an economic boost.

The commission imposed 18 conditions on its approval, such as the need for adequate parking, security, medical aid, traffic control and cleanup. The event must also not create a nuisance, such as noise, traffic or dust problems, for other property owners.

Those concerns were raised in the single letter of objection received by the county to the permit application.

The commission was told that decibel meters will be in place to ensure the concert does not become too disruptive. About 130 people will handle security and there will be a main stage and two smaller venues and beer gardens.

Parking and camping spaces are available on site.

A three-day general admission pass costs $170 and camping pass costs $65. Single day tickets will also be available. For more information go to www.tailcreek.ca. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

Pupils keep eyes on science DISSECT LOCALLY-DONATED ANIMAL EYES

BY RENÉE FRANCOEUR ADVOCATE STAFF There was a fresh delivery of 60 pig eyes from Olymel to Red Deer’s St. Francis of Assisi Middle School on Thursday morning.

One Grade 8 science class raised their scalpels and dove into the task of carefully tearing apart every little piece of the large animal eye as part of the Light and Optical Systems unit.

“It’s rubbery!” exclaimed 14-year-old Aimee Skinner.

“And bigger than I thought it would be.”

Other words like “gooey” and “squishy” were tossed around the room as the students peeled off the pink fat and muscle from the sclera, the tough outer white part of the eye.

The dissection lab, part of the science curriculum, is a hands-on activity that is fun and valuable for a more comprehensive learning, said teacher Deb Sharhan.

“They’re a bit squeamish at first, but then they get an appreciation for what it really looks like in the body,” Sharhan said.

“Some go on to pursue careers in medicine or become veterinarians from their first dissection experiences.

Beth Bergeron, 14, digs into the guts of a pig’s eye during a dissection lab at St. Francis of Assisi Middle School in Red Deer on Thursday morning.

Beth Bergeron, 14, said the iris and pupil are the most fascinating parts.

Classmate Edmore Cabrera, also 14, said he was eager to slice open the optic nerve.

New this year was an added dissection lab involving a frog.

Games, homelessness among issues to be considered

BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF

CITY COUNCIL

A $60,000 request from the 2019 Canada Winter Games bid committee and support for three homelessness transition projects are just two of the issues that Red Deer city council will tackle on Monday.

In November 2012, the bid committee received $200,000 for the development of the city’s bid to land the games in five years.

But the fees and expenses were higher than expected, so the committee will ask for more money to cover the shortfall.

The Community Housing Advisory Board will ask for council’s approval for projects for the Youth and Volunteer Centre project, Central Alberta Women’s Outreach Society and Red Deer Native Friendship

Centre Society.

Funding for the projects are covered through the Community Entity grant, part of the federal Homelessness Partnering Strategy.

Talk will also turn to ambulance dispatch when council considers endorsing a letter of intent for the negotiation of the satellite collaborative ambulance dispatch agreement with the province.

Once the letter in principle is endorsed, a steering committee will begin negotiations on the contract, while the project implementation team will begin to finalize the implementation details for Red Deer.

This will include internal prioritization, budget impacts and service delivery pro-

cess reviews.

In late February, following months of advocating, the city and the province came to a fix that would allow Red Deer to retain its integrated ambulance and fire dispatch system.

Other meeting highlights: z Stantec will give a North Highway Connector presentation. z Council will consider second and third reading of a bylaw amendment that would extend and revamp the Central Alberta Theatre's loan agreement with the city. z Several residents will be appointed to city committees, including the Red Deer Multi-Use Aquatic Centre Review Ad Hoc Committee and the Municipal Planning Commission. crhyno@reddeeradvocate.com

BRIEFS Charges laid after stolen tires recovered

City of Red Deer crews are repairing a pipe at the sewage pumping station on the northeast corner of 22nd Street and 40th Avenue after a leak was detected earlier this week.

Additional fencing has been installed around the station.

The area was to be excavated on Thursday and the work is expected to be completed today.

There is no risk to the public but residents and their pets are asked to stay away from the area.

City wants comments on backyard chickens Don’t be chicken — have your say on backyard hens in Red Deer.

As part of Let’s Talk 2014, residents will have a chance to complete a survey about urban chickens at Parkland Mall on Saturday.

There will also be an online survey that starts Saturday and will wrap up on April 25.

“We want to know what residents think about the urban chickens, and we want to make sure it’s easy for you to tell us,” said Erin Stuart, Development and Licensing supervisor.

“Come by and visit our booth this weekend at Let’s Talk, learn a bit more about urban chickens and fill in a quick survey to make sure your opinion is heard.”

A pilot project was approved by city council last year that allowed residents to have up to six chickens per household.

The formal project is expected to wrap up on May 31, 2014.

The online survey will be available at www.reddeer.ca.

Annual Green Deer cleanup is coming Get ready to show your colours, Red Deer — Green Deer is back for another year.

The annual citywide cleanup starts on April 14 and runs until June 15.

“When winter melts away, trash and litter are exposed. Green Deer helps to keep our community beautiful for everyone to enjoy,” said Suzanne Jubb, the city’s community and program facilitator.

“Every year brings us closer to our goal of a litter-free Red Deer.”

Starting on Monday, neighbours, friends and co-workers can work together, challenge one other, and show their commitment to the environment by choosing an area of the city to clean.

The Green Deer annual kickoff barbecue is April 28 from 5 to 6:30 p.m. at the Parkland Mall parking lot. Residents who plan to register for Green Deer are invited to attend.

Jubb said working together and taking small steps keeps our city clean and makes a huge impact.

“Simple acts like making sure your trash and cigarette butts are properly disposed of go a long way towards the goal of keeping Red Deer clean and green,” she said.

Cigarette butts do not biodegrade and account for almost 30 per cent of litter collected in our city. To help combat the problem, the City of Red Deer has collaborated with Century

L

Vallen to give away 1,000 free pocket ashtrays once again as part of this year’s Green Deer campaign.

Register for the Green Deer by calling 403-309-8411 or visiting the Recreation Centre, G.H. Dawe Community Centre or Collicutt Centre.

Every group registered is automatically entered into a draw to win a barbecue and a barbecue event.

A Green Deer toolkit is available on the city’s website for groups wanting to challenge other community groups.

Haitian children’s aid group holding fundraiser The Haitian Children’s Aid Society is holding a dinner and auction on May 10 to raise funds for an orphanage and the building of new homes in Mirebalais, Haiti.

The events kicks off at 6 p.m. in the Marquis Room at the Harvest Centre in Red Deer featuring a catered supper and silent and live auctions.

Tickets are $30 for adult members, $40 for non members, and a corporate table of eight for $90. Child member tickets cost $15, non members cost $20.

All proceeds will go towards the final stage of the new community building project for the Haiti Children’s Home and support ongoing HCAS operations.

The society hopes to begin moving children into the new home later this year.

The project will provide housing for up to 60 children, a small community medical clinic, water filtration and waste management, staff and volunteer housing and a youth training facility, among other features.

It will provide employment for up to 56 Haitians.

The society hopes to raise $150,000 and is still looking for donated items for the auctions, as well as volunteers.

HCAS was established in 2005 when several adoptive families in Alberta joined forces to help Mirebalais rebuild after the devastating 2010 earthquake.

Five-pound pot seizure nets conditional sentence A man found with five pounds of pot during a police search of his house was given a conditional sentence on Thursday.

Tony Stephen Catonio, 35, of Springbrook, pleaded guilty to one charge of possession of cannabis marijuana for the purpose of trafficking and one count of possession of the proceeds of a crime.

Catonio became the subject of police investigation on April 25, 2011, after a tip from the public that he was selling marijuana out of his home.

On May 5, 2011, a search warrant was executed on the residence, where five pounds of marijuana and $3,235 in cash was found.

The cash, mostly in $20 dollar bills, was found under a bed, a rug and on top of a dresser. Also found on scene was a large glass bong and a digital scale.

Catonio was arrested at his residence during the raid.

Crown Prosecutor Dave Inglis and defence counsel Michael Chow filed a joint sentencing submission asking for an 18-month conditional sentence.

Red Deer provincial court Judge Jim Hunter agreed, citing the lack of record on drug matters.

For the first nine months of the sen-

tence, Catonio is under a strict house arrest order limiting his time off the property.

The second nine months have a curfew of 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. at his residence.

Drug, dog infractions send woman to jail A Red Deer woman will spend two years in jail for buying cocaine, and letting her dog run free and bite a person.

Jeannette Couturier pleaded guilty to one count of possession of cocaine after unwittingly becoming part of an undercover police drug operation.

She also was in default of several Red Deer bylaw offences, including four tickets for unlawfully having her dog at large, and one ticket each of being the owner of a dog that bit a person and being the owner of a dog that exhibited threatening behaviour to another person.

On May 29, 2013, she arranged a drug deal by cellphone with the undercover officer and attempted to buy $200 worth of cocaine.

She was arrested and charged.

She was sentenced to two years in jail for the cocaine-related charge.

On the six dog bylaw offence tickets she was in default of payment and as a result was sentenced to 10 days jail per ticket, to be served concurrent to the two-year sentence.

One person has been charged after Red Deer City RCMP recovered 20 stolen semi-trailer tires worth about $23,000.

Police found the tires on March 26 after executing a search warrant on a rural property in Lacombe County.

Two people were taken into custody at the scene and later released. A third suspect was arrested on April 2.

The tires were allegedly stolen on March 24 around 2:25 a.m. from a secure compound at Greatwest Kenworth, a semi-trailer dealership at 6739 67th Ave. in Red Deer.

Video surveillance at the dealership showed a male suspect entering the compound in a cube van.

The van was later confirmed to have been stolen from Bruin’s Plumbing and Heating. It was also later recovered.

A 46-year-old Red Deer man has been charged with possession of stolen property over $5,000 and two counts of break and enter for theft over $5,000.

He will appear in court on April 30.

Senate Democrats pressure Obama WANT APPROVAL OF KEYSTONE XL OIL PIPELINE BY END OF MAY

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Eleven Senate Democrats, including six who face contested re-election races this year, urged President Barack Obama on Thursday to approve the Keystone XL oil pipeline by the end of May. The five-year review of the Canada-to-Texas pipeline has been “exhaustive in its time, breadth and scope” and has taken longer than reasonably justified, the senators wrote to the president.

Approval of the pipeline is needed to ensure pipeline operator TransCanada does not miss another construction season, the senators’ letter said.

But politics likely is a larger factor. Six of the Democrats who signed the letter face challenges this year: Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, Mark Begich of Alaska, Mark Pryor of Arkansas, John Walsh of Montana, Kay Hagan of North Carolina and Mark Warner

of Virginia.

Democratic efforts to keep control of the Senate could hinge on those races. All but North Carolina are significant energy-producing states. Obama lost all but Virginia in 2012.

The Keystone XL pipeline has emerged as an election-year dilemma for Democrats.

Wealthy party donors are funding candidates who oppose the project — a high-profile symbol of the political debate over climate change. But some of the party’s most vulnerable incumbents are pipeline boosters, including the six who signed the letter Thursday.

Several former Obama administration officials, including ex-Interior Secretary Ken Salazar and former national security adviser James Jones, have called on Obama to approve the pipeline. Jones told Congress last month that approval would send Russian President Vladimir Putin a message that “international bullies” can’t use energy security as a weapon.

The pipeline also is supported by labour unions eager for the jobs it would create, as well as a range of business groups and virtually all congressional Republicans.

Environmental groups and some top Democratic donors oppose the pipeline, saying it would carry “dirty oil” that contributes to global warming. They also worry about possible spills.

Tom Steyer, a billionaire environmentalist, has vowed to spend $100 million —$50 million of his own money and $50 million from other donors — to make climate change a top-tier issue in the 2014 elections.

Opposition to Keystone XL is a significant part of that effort.

White House press secretary Jay Carney said Thursday that the review of the pipeline “needs to run its appropriate course without interference from the White House or Congress.”

The State Department has authority over the project because it crosses a U.S. border.

2014 MERIT AWARDS

A pair of Red Deer chartered accountants have been recognized for their community and professional achievements.

Rose Monea and Damian Zapisocky have been chosen to receive 2014 Merit Awards from the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Alberta (ICAA).

Monea, of Heywood Holmes & Partners LLP, is being awarded the Fellow of the Chartered Accountants (FCA) designation. It’s presented for meritorious service and other achievements.

A release issued by the ICAA cited Monea’s volunteer efforts in her community and profession, including board positions with the Red Deer & District United Way, the Women’s Investment Network,

the Red Deer Childcare Society and Independent Achievers of Red Deer. She’s also a member of the business advisory board with Red Deer College’s Donald School of Business.

Zapisocky, who works at Studon Electric and Controls Inc., is receiving a Distinguished Service Award. He is being honoured for volunteer service, including his work as past-president of the Central Alberta CA Club and a member of various other ICAA groups.

The 2014 Merit Awards will be presented on June 20 in Edmonton, with 24 Alberta recipients.

The ICAA regulates more than 12,500 CAs and CA students in Alberta.

The deal is expected to produce annualized revenue of about US$30 million. High Arctic also said that it’s committed to buy two heli-portable drilling rigs and associated equipment at an estimated cost of US$52 million. Kevin Doran, the company’s president of international operations, said the second rig should help High Arctic take advantage of other opportunities in Papua New Guinea.

“The acquisition of these two drilling rigs is a significant milestone for High Arctic and reflects our continued commitment to expanding our presence within Papua New Guinea,” he said.

High Arctic provides specialized oilfield equipment and services for drilling, completion and workover operations. It has operations throughout Western Canada and in Papua New Guinea.

BRIEFS Order online from Tony Roma’s If you find rib sauce on your computer keyboard, blame it on Tony Roma’s.

The restaurant chain has introduced online ordering in Canada, with its Red Deer location the first to offer the service.

David Murphy, managing partner of the Red Deer Tony Roma’s, said his restaurant began accepting online orders last Friday.

“It’s much quicker for us,” he said, describing how the orders go directly to the kitchen without the need for a staff person to collect the information verbally and relay it to the cooks.

The service, which can be accessed at Tonyromas. com, allows customers to specify a pickup time and provide special instructions.

Tony Roma’s outlets in the United States were already accepting online orders, said Jay Winborne, the company’s media and communications manager.

The objective is to expand the practice into Canada.

Murphy said a company official in Edmonton suggested that Red Deer should be the first to adopt the system here. “We have a busy location and we’ve done a lot of take-out.”

There are 27 Tony Roma’s restaurants in Canada.

High Arctic nabs rig, camp deal High Arctic Energy Services Inc. (TSX: HWO) has been contracted to provide a heli-portable drilling rig and a 100-person camp to InterOil Corp. in Papua New Guinea.

The Red Deer based company said in a release that the contract is for two years, with the potential for a one-year extension.

Sylvan Star Cheese wins awards Sylvan Star Cheese added a few more awards to its trophy case this week.

The Sylvan Lake-area business’s natural smoked gouda was named the Best Smoked Cheese and the Best Alberta Cheese at the inaugural Canadian Cheese Awards in Toronto. It was also a finalist in the Best Farmstead Cheese category.

The competition attracted 291 entries in 16 categories. Seventy-six producers from Newfoundland to British Columbia took part.

Judging was held at the University of Guelph’s department of food science.

The Canadian Cheese Awards was the first cheese competition in Canada open to all milks used in cheese-making: cow, goat, sheep and even water buffalo. No artificial colours, flavours, preservatives or modified milk ingredients were allowed.

The Canadian Cheese Awards is produced by The Great Canadian Cheese Festival, the biggest artisan cheese show in Canada. It’s held annually in Ontario.

Sylvan Star Cheese is a regular winner at another cheese competition, the Canadian Cheese Grand Prix, which is sponsored by the Dairy Farmers of Canada. It takes place every two years, with the last competition held in 2013.

A Sylvan Lake medical clinic is diversifying into cosmetic and related services.

Horizon Family Medicine will open Horizon Vein & Cosmetic Centre at its 65 Hewlett Park Landing premises early next month. The new centre will be headed by Dr. Raymond Comeau, who has practised family medicine at Horizon Family Medicine since it opened in September 2011.

Comeau started Red Deer’s first full-service cosmetic clinic in 2000. He sold that business in 2008, but remained interested in the field.

“It’s very interesting and gratifying to be able to treat people who are having real problems with their skin,” he said.

Procedures to be performed at Horizon Vein & Cosmetic Centre will go much deeper than the skin.

It will offer sclerotherapy, and Botox treatments for both cosmetic purposes and medical problems like headaches, TMJ (temporomandibular joint) pain and excessive sweating, said Comeau. Another service will be platelet-rich plasma (PRP) joint injections for muscular skeletal conditions like tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow and plantar fasciitis.

“This is a procedure which is really quite new but really excellent, and being used by many of the sports medicine specialists and physiatrists,” he said, describing PRP as a great alternative to cortisone.

Other procedures at the clinic will include travel medicine and vaccinations, and professional skin care like biopsies, skin cancer removal and treatment of warts and acne.

Comeau said demand for these types of services is growing.

“It’s gone up dramatically as people become more aware of what’s available. They’re not really wanting to suffer with things that they had to suffer with 30 or 40 years ago.”

Horizon Vein & Cosmetic Centre will celebrate its grand opening on May 9, with profits from the treatments provided that day to be donated to international development organization A Better World.

Comeau and other staff at Horizon Family Medicine have been active supporters of A Better World, and recently travelled to Haiti to help at a medical clinic there.

Horizon Family Medicine also has a clinic in Red Deer, with 13 doctors working at the two locations.

Servus forecasts robust times ahead

BY ADVOCATE STAFF A Servus Credit Union economist is predicting “robust economic times” for Albertans.

Mike Drotar, vice-president treasury with the Edmonton-based credit union, said in written forecast that growth in the province should hit 3.8 per cent this year and 3.6 per cent in 2015.

The energy sector will provide much of the stimulus, he said, with natural gas prices potentially averaging $5 per thousand cubic feet in 2015 and West Texas intermediate crude approaching $100 over the next three years.

A provincial unemployment rate of around four per cent could translate into a labour shortage and upward pressure on wages, said Drotar.

A wild card in the economic deck is the uncertainty surrounding the development of new pipeline capacity between Alberta and export markets, he said.

Nationally, the economy should reach 2.3 per cent in 2014 and 2.9 per cent in 2015, helped by Western Canada’s strong energy sector.

Equity markets will continue to climb, said Drotar, who pointed out that the Toronto Stock Exchange has gained 90 per cent from its March 2009 low.

On the global front, Drotar expects growth of just under four per cent over the next three years, with China averaging between seven and 7.5 per cent.

He noted continued signs of recovery in the United States, and said the key for the U.S. and Europe is for the governments there to get long-term debt under control without “choking off” economic growth.

The declines were also fuelled by a fresh round of disenchantment with formerly high-flying biotech and technology stocks.

The S&P/TSX composite index fell 127.58 points to 14,308 as China’s exports fell 6.6 per cent in March from a year earlier, well below analyst expectations of single-digit growth.

Imports to China contracted by 11.3 per cent.

The Canadian dollar dropped 0.48 of a cent to 91.5 cents US. U.S. markets tumbled while biotechnology companies fell sharply as Biogen Idec, Gilead Sciences and other biotech companies extended a recent slump. After making big gains last year, biotechs have been crushed in recent weeks as they come under pressure to lower prices for their drugs.

The Dow Jones industrials plunged 266.96 points to 16,170.22 while a selloff in tech stocks deemed too rich ahead of their first-quarter earnings pushed the Nasdaq 129.79 points lower to 4,054.11. The three per cent drop was the worst since November 2011.

Facebook dropped 5.2 per cent while Google retreated 4.1 per cent.

The S&P 500 index lost 39.09 points at 1,833.09, giving up its gains for the year.

The Chinese trade data raised worries the world’s second-biggest economy will have trouble meeting its official target of 7.5 per cent growth this year. It also pushed some analysts to lower already reduced expectations for growth.

Barclays lowered its first-quarter gross domestic product forecast to 7.2 per cent year over year from 7.3 per cent.

Negative investor sentiment on U.S. markets spread to the TSX where the health care sector gave back 3.35 per cent with Valeant Phar-

Canadian tech stocks also helped push the TSX lower with BlackBerry (TSX:BB) down 28 cents to $8.38.

Financial stocks were also a major weight, down 1.06 per cent amid reduced earnings expectations for the big U.S. banks. Analysts at Thomson Reuters expect financial sector earnings to decline by 2.8 per cent and revenue to fall by one per cent.

The energy sector was 0.13 per cent lower while the sluggish Chinese data helped push the April crude contract on the New York Mercantile Exchange down 20 cents to US$103.40 a barrel.

Copper was up a cent to $3.05 a pound. The metal has already fallen 11 per cent this year amid lower expectations for Chinese economic growth. The base metals sector gave up early gains to move down 0.76 per cent.

The gold sector dropped about 1.4 per cent while bullion prices headed higher with the June contract up $14.60 to US$1,320.50 an ounce.

Shares in Goldcorp Inc. (TSX:G) dropped after it upped its offer for Montreal-based Osisko Mining Corp.

(TSX:OSK), in an attempt to trump the gold miner’s friendly deal with Yamana Gold announced last week.

Goldcorp said its revised offer values Osisko at $3.6 billion or $7.65 per Osisko share. Goldcorp fell $1 to $26.84 while Osisko edged up three cents to $7.58.

TORONTO — More young Canadians believe owning a home is a very good investment, according to a new RBC home ownership poll.

It says 86 per cent of those aged 2534 believe owning a house or condo is a solid investment, up from a reading of 78 per cent last year.

RBC says that attitude is also reflected in buying intentions, with interest from the 25-34 age group rising to 41 per cent in the latest poll compared to just 25 per cent in 2013.

The bank also says its poll reveals that while 62 per cent of Canadians intend to buy a home with their spouse or partner, 28 per cent Canadians say they intend to buy a home by themselves.

Top factors considered by those who intend to buy this year include job sta-

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Quebec’s new Liberal government must immediately restore a “climate of trust” to reverse two years of lagging confidence that has hurt the province’s economic growth, National Bank’s CEO said Thursday.

“Just restoring a better climate for investment could increase growth by 0.5 per cent on a yearly basis and you don’t have to cut taxes or spending,” Louis Vachon said in Calgary after the bank’s annual meeting.

It was the 154-year old bank’s first annual meeting held in Western Canada and the second to be held outside of Quebec.

Vachon said investor confidence in Quebec has taken a beating since 2012 from the investigation into the construction industry, student strikes, the debate on mining royalties and the charter of values.

He told shareholders that National Bank’s shares trade at a discount to its Canadian peers, in part, because of the perception that the province is “condemned to grow slower than the rest of the country.”

“I think it should be a priority for any Quebec government to prove the consensus wrong and show we can grow at least at the Canadian average and I think that is feasible,” he said in response to a shareholder’s question.

Vachon said real efforts have been

made by the last two governments to address the province’s deficit and he encouraged the Canadian business community to look favourably at investing in Quebec and partnering with Quebec’s largest bank.

The shareholder meeting in Calgary was designed to raise National Bank’s profile in a part of the country where it has been growing, particularly in the energy sector.

However, Vachon laughed off suggestions that he was on a charm offensive, calling the shareholder meeting and an event with about 200 customers “business development.”

“Charm and bankers — you want to put that into the same sentence?” he said.

National Bank (TSX:NA) launched its western operations in St. Boniface, Man., about a century ago mainly to serve that community’s francophone community. It expanded to Alberta about 30 years ago and grew with the acquisition of the Mercantile Bank in 1986.

It now employs more than 300 people in Alberta and 800 in Western Canada and has more than $8 billion of financing with some 800 business clients in Alberta, about half in the energy sector.

Meanwhile, Vachon said he’s “cautiously optimistic” about the Canadian, U.S., and global economies this year, adding that the weaker loonie should accelerate growth to the benefit of Ontario and Quebec.

Young Canadians view home ownership as good investment: RBC

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

National Bank says Quebec must restore trust

bility and manageable debt.

And, among those likely to buy a home within the next two years, RBC says four-in-10 will be first time homebuyers.

“The increase in the number of those who feel the housing market is a good investment, as well as the number of those who intend to buy, really highlights that Canadians have no doubt in the strength of the housing market, said Erica Nielson, RBC’s vice president of home equity finance.

“These findings, which are uniform across Canada, are the result of a number of factors, including job stability and having saved enough for a down payment.”

The online poll of 2,591 Canadians was conducted by Ipsos Reid between February 4 and 14, 2014.

Newspapers in Education

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — A judge has ruled that major retailers do not have to modify their commercial trademark English names into French, as the province’s language watchdog had hoped.

A Quebec Superior Court justice ruled Wednesday that businesses that have storefront signs with their trademark name in a language other than French do not contravene the French Language Charter.

Several multinationals took the province to court after they were told by the language watchdog to change their names or risk running afoul of the rules governing the language of business in the province.

The Office quebecois de la langue francaise wanted the companies to change their signs to either give themselves a generic French name or add a slogan or explanation that reflected what they sold.

But the judge hearing the case ruled in favour of the major retailers — a list that included Best Buy, Costco, Gap, Old Navy, Guess, Wal-Mart, Toys “R” Us and Curves.

“Public signage by the plaintiffs of their trademarks uniquely in a language other than French, when there is no French version of the trademark, does not violate the Charter of the French Language or the laws respecting the language of commerce and business,” Justice Michel Yergeau wrote.

The companies operate a combined 215 outlets in the province. They had

argued they complied with the language laws as they stand. They suggested the watchdog was offering a different interpretation of the laws, which had not been formally changed in years.

In 2012, the retailers sought the court’s opinion as to whether the government had the right to make such a demand.

While the language law states the name of a business must be in French, it generally hasn’t applied to trademark names.

The judge said it’s not up to the courts to modify language rules that have remained unchanged for two decades.

Yergeau wrote that while trademarks fall under federal jurisdiction, it’s up to the Quebec legislature to “take the lead” if it considers the French language is suffering because of English trademarks.

“The choice is a political function and not one of the judiciary,” Yergeau wrote.

The watchdog had suggested that a store like Wal-Mart, a household name on the retail scene in Quebec with no French equivalent, could change its signage to “Le Magasin Wal-Mart.”

Some companies have changed their business names here.

For example, Kentucky Fried Chicken is known in Quebec as Poulet Frit Kentucky, so KFC is commonly known here as PFK. Starbucks is known as Cafe Starbucks Coffee.

And after a series of firebombings in the early 2000s, Second Cup coffee shops added the words “Les cafes” to their signs.

B.C. First Nations sign liquefied natural gas revenuesharing agreements

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS VICTORIA — The British Columbia government has moved to bring First Nations on board its much-anticipated multibilliondollar liquefied natural gas boom.

Two north coast First Nations signed revenue-sharing agreements Wednesday with the government related to the development of a proposed liquefied natural gas export terminal on their traditional territories near Prince Rupert.

It’s a deal that could be worth up to $15 million for the Metlakatla and Lax

Kw’alaams nations.

Premier Christy Clark and leaders from the First Nations who participated in formal signing ceremonies at the legislature called the agreements — the first such connected to LNG — historic.

Clark said the revenue-sharing agreements signal her government’s aims to include First Nations in the province’s LNG development plans, which she says represent a generational opportunity that will rival Alberta’s oilsands.

The First Nations’ leaders said the achievement indicates willingness among some aboriginal groups to embrace some forms of resource development.

RED DEER ADVOCATE Friday, April 11, 2014 C5 A majority of First Nations have opposed the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline project that would move Alberta oil products to B.C.’s coast for export to Asia.

The LNG revenue-sharing agreements were negotiated with the First Nations because their communities, located north of Prince Rupert, are close to a proposed Aurora LNG development at Grassy Point.

Aurora LNG is a proposed joint venture

by Nexen Energy ULC (TSX:NXY), a wholly owned subsidiary of CNOOC Limited, INPEX Corporation and JGC Corporation.

There are about a dozen proposed LNG developments in B.C., but none has moved to the final investment-decision stage.

How to foray into fashion INSIDER TIPS FOR NEWCOMERS

BY LAUREN LA ROSE THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Sewing since he was 10 and in business for 26 years, Farley Chatto has experienced his share of triumphs and challenges within the ultracompetitive fashion industry.

Chatto recently returned to the runway with his own solo showcase at Toronto’s World MasterCard Fashion Week last month. In addition to his role as designer-in-residence at Four Seasons Fur in Toronto creating looks worn by homegrown hip-hop star Drake, the 44-year-old style stalwart shares his expertise with students as an instructor at the Academy of Design.

“A lot of people are trying to get into the business because they think it’s a quick way to make a quick buck and to get famous,” Chatto said during a recent interview.

“I think fame will come eventually, but the truth of the matter is if you don’t work hard, you put in as much as you get out.”

Chatto and other Canadian insiders share five tips for up-and-coming designers seeking to enter the fashion industry.

Forge connections At the recent DHL: The Business of Fashion panel discussion held during Toronto’s Fashion Week, participants emphasized the need for emerging talents to reach out to those already established within the industry.

“If you want to make sales, you need to be where buyers are,” said Susan Langdon, executive director of the Toronto Fashion Incubator, a non-profit business centre that has fostered numerous designers and style entrepreneurs.

“One idea is to participate in trade shows, to come out to Fashion Week, network and put yourself out there. Don’t just hang out with your friends or your colleagues.

“If you see a store you want to get into, go out there and hand them a business card.”

“When you’re at these networking events you have a captive audience,” said Ashlee Froese, owner and editor of canadafashionlaw.com and board member of Fashion Group International.

“Everyone’s there for the same purpose — to hear your story and to get their story across. It’s not as intimidating as new designers maybe think it would be.”

Chatto also recommends designers consider giving their time.

“It’s not always about the money ... that will always come afterwards. But definitely it’s about volunteering because it’s about the networking, it’s about the connections that you make with the people.” said Chatto.

“By doing that, it will help establish your busi-

I’m so happy that in the last 26 years my networking has actually kept me going.”

Be versatile “In order for you to figure out what you’re good at, you have to be able to figure (it) out by trying it all out,” said Chatto, who credits his ability to diversify as a key to his career longevity.

“Costuming for a film or for the theatre might actually open other streams and allow you to create something that doesn’t necessarily sell, so you can play around with your creativity. And then with that, you have the experience.

“When you come to sell it, it makes it easier (to say): ‘He’s done this or she’s done that,”’ he added.

“You have credibility and you have stamina behind your name and brand.”

Boost your brand Before getting potential shoppers to sport their styles, one expert suggested designers start off by being their own model.

“I met ... the head buyer (from Holt Renfrew) while wearing one of my coats. And I was sweating in fashion shows and I did not take my coat off — ever,” recalled Marissa Freed, president and creative director of Winnipeg-based Freed & Freed International Ltd. during the DHL panel.

“If you’re going to put yourself out really put yourself out. Wear your stuff, own your brand and be your

brand. It’s really important.”

Protect your brand “One of the mistakes new designers make is they don’t think of themselves as a successful business in the making,” said Froese.

As an intellectual property and branding lawyer with a focus on the fashion industry, she advised panel attendees planning to launch brands to do their “due diligence ahead of time” when it comes to protecting their labels.

“Not every trademark is going to be protected. Not every trademark is going to be viable in the marketplace,” said Froese, partner at Toronto-based firm Gilbert’s LLP. Dealing with lawyers ahead of time helps determine what is and isn’t viable and exploring potential issues that may arise, she noted.

“It’s going to save you a lot of headache and heartbreak in the long run — and a lot of money.”

What’s more, designers can also move forward and create an intellectual property portfolio that best protects their creativity, noted Froese. Then, when they’re running up against counterfeiters or fashion design pirates, they’ll be better able to assert their rights, she added.

“It’s something that the designer has to do ahead of time to be on a better platform when things don’t go as well.”

When you look at actor Rob Lowe — especially on the cover of his new book, Love Life — you can’t help but think that guy has it all: looks, talent, a great marriage and family, and a successful career.

But if you delve into his prose, you’ll likely think he’s earned it.

In Love Life, Lowe was challenged to top his acclaimed bestseller, Stories I Only Tell My Friends, without relying on the safe, linear structure of an autobiography.

But if there’s one thing the new book confirms, it’s how much Lowe relishes a challenge.

The title is a bit of a tease. Love Life isn’t a noun; it’s a command.

Lowe aims to inspire readers to take chances — and appreciate what they have.

Part self-help, part Acting 101, part-memoir, the book is a reflection of Lowe’s layered life.

He skillfully weaves stories together with common themes and a philosophical perspective.

Lowe could have written an entertaining book on life behind the scenes in Hollywood, but it’s clear he wants to connect with readers by choosing experiences that become teaching moments.

The book is brimming with lessons about being present, saying “yes” to life, taking risks and getting up after failure.

Fans who fear he gave up all the good stuff in the first book will be pleasantly surprised.

Love Life is catnip for pop culture addicts.

Lowe names some names (his torturous kissing scene with singer Jewel and actor Tom Sizemore’s personal meltdown are two examples), but is coy about other famous “friends” — tantalizing readers with only hints of the players in some juicy stories.

Lowe talks about the craft of acting, offering tips on how to eat, use props and ad-lib on camera.

He often reminds readers that entertainment is a business and success is fleeting.

That’s driven home in the failure of two shows he produced and starred in, even turning down the part Patrick Dempsey made into McDreamy in Grey’s Anatomy for a series that never got past a few episodes.

But every experience helps him grow.

“The only time you flop is when you don’t learn something,” he writes.

like spoiled brats. Some dates are like this: he says, “Decide where you want to eat and text me, I’ll meet you there.”

The author says, “New York is 13 miles long and two miles wide: this is a date?”

These mostly clever ladies are used to solving problems. Some of them go online and often have hair-raising stories to tell about that. (Some are successfully matched.)

Some who feel too close to the end of their fertility freeze their eggs, hoping to meet the right guy.

Then there are some who decide to go it alone and have a child. In vitro fertilization is very expensive, but often not impossible for upper management women. This is a big change in our culture. This may be the dating picture generally.

Smart, savvy women could make smart, savvy mothers.

Otherhood is the second book by Melanie Notkin.

Her first book, Savvy Auntie: The Ultimate Guide for Cool Aunts, Great-Aunts, Godmothers, and All Women Who Love Kids.

That, of course, is the other way to solve the problem.

Peggy Freeman is a local freelance books reviewer.

Collective Soul has fans dancing in the aisles It didn’t take long for Collective Soul’s scorching concert this week at Red Deer’s Memorial Centre to become a virtual love-in for the fullhouse crowd.

By the time the Georgiabased rock band launched into its second song on Wednesday evening — a new one called Are You The Answer — the first female fan was already dancing by the LANA stage.

MICHELIN A throng of young men in concert T-shirts ambled down the aisle to join her during the familiar guitar riffs to Heavy. And more fans congregated at the front as lead singer Ed Roland started playing the familiar acoustic melody of Precious — an audience favourite.

Then it happened: just as Collective Soul launched into the fifth song, the moody and electric December, most of the 720 people in the venue jumped to their feet and stayed standing throughout the show.

As the stage became flooded with blue light, even some of the self-conscious-looking guys in the audience sang (or at least mouthed along) to the lyrics: “Don’t worry about, don’t speak of doubt . . . turn your head now baby — just spit me out!”

And Roland played his acoustic guitar with such intensity, his knuckles rhythmically rapped on wood.

The only bigger highlight was hearing The World I Know performed in that intimate setting.

Collective Soul delivered this hymn against indifference with appropriate feeling. As a video of trees and mountains flickered across the background screen and the swell of music expanded through the room, it became a moving collective experience.

Roland, who often closed his eyes and grasped the mike stand with both hands, kept the audience rapt with-

REVIEW

out having to grandstand. It wasn’t his style.

The unassuming singer had previously thanked Red Deer “for inviting us here,” and expressed gratitude for his fans’ patience in listening to a couple of songs they were unfamiliar with.

He promised to “play all those songs from before” and didn’t let anyone down during a full two-hour concert of mostly recognizable tunes and hits.

Among them was Compliment and Better Now, which both featured phenomenal playing from lead guitarist Jesse Triplett. There was also Gel — the song that really made the band some 20 years ago.

Roland recounted how the breakout hit, Shine, came from a demo track that he had recorded in the basement.

When it was time to put a group together and release a full album, Gel “became the first song we ever recorded as a band.” And its heavy bass line, overlaid with a catchy guitar melody pretty much became the band’s signature sound.

Wednesday’s performance of Gel took on a surreal aspect with the audience’s hypnotic repetition of the uhhuh chorus and a graphic of a whirling tunnel on the video screen.

Collective Soul also served up Sister Don’t Cry, Where the River Flows, Why Pt. 2, Counting the Days, She Said and Reunion. The latter two were powerful solos delivered by Roland spotlighted with his guitar.

Hollywood featured a band jam and a laid-back reggae vibe and the new song Comes Back to You had the audience chiming along. Throughout, the group’s ongoing love of performing was obvious and infectious.

The uplifting and ultra-popular Shine was saved for the encore. Roland took over on the keyboards during this tune, then switched back to an acoustic guitar for the final song of the evening, Run. As this last ear-wormish melody wound down, all of the musicians — including Triplett, rhythm guitarist (and Ed’s brother) Dean Roland, bassist Will Turpin and drummer Johnny Rabb — came to downstage to greet fans. They reached out and shook a forest of raised hands.

Bringing their 20th anniversary tour to Red Deer on Wednesday, Collective Soul lead vocalist Ed Roland and his bandmates, rhythm guitarist Dean Roland, bassist Will Turpin, drummer Johnny Rabb and lead guitarist Jesse Triplett, performed to a sold out audience at the Memorial Centre.

And after all that musical intensity, there was the sense a reluctant farewell was taking place, made the more so by Ed Roland’s, “God bless.”

Before Collective Soul finished its encore, opening act Molly Thomason was invited to share the stage with the band — and she got a well-deserved hug from Roland.

The talented Nova Scotian, whose last album was produced by John-Angus MacDonald of The Trews, is going to be someone to watch for. Sporting glasses, shaggy hair and sensible boots, Thomason came across as confidently androgynous as Chrissie Hynde of the

Pretenders — which is refreshing in this age of prepackaged, sexed-up singers.

It’s about time another authentic female with a kick-ass voice fronted a rock band — and judging from the crowd reaction to Thomason, a lot of people feel the same.

The energetic performer, who performed as part of a four-piece band, is an original who knows how to write a smart, appealing rock tune — so here’s to hearing less golden oldies from Heart and more of her barbed love song to Antigonish on local radio. lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

RDC play tells stories from the Great Depression

BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF A greedy landlord is tarred and gravelled by his Maritime neighbours for trying to raise the rent on an impoverished widow during the Great Depression.

Members of a Prairie farm family, devastated by drought, move into an igloo they built in their front yard one winter because it’s warmer than their drafty house.

And a young waitress complies with her predatory boss’s demands for sex to keep her meagre job.

The play Ten Lost Years, which will be staged April 16 to 19 at City Centre Stage by Red Deer College Theatre Studies, shows that the 1930s Depression had more wide-ranging effects on real-life Canadians than just the stereotypical image of hobos riding on railcars.

Yes, thousands of jobless young men did hop trains in an often futile search for work — so many hobos they literally darkened the sides of some railcars, observers recalled.

But according to these dramatized stories that were originally recounted by survivors of the Canadian Depression for Barry Broadfoot’s acclaimed oral history book, Ten Lost Years: 19291939, there were other sides to that difficult decade.

Some female factory workers laboured six days a week for $3, amidst grumbles about how they were taking jobs from men.

Poor city slickers tried to improve their prospects by accepting free farmland in Northern Alberta. (There was no drought there, but poorer soil and plenty of trees and rocks that needed clearing — and mosquitoes.)

And some rich industrialists felt no hardship at all. In fact, they benefited from low prices, a massive cheap labour market and government subsidies.

The 1930s also featured many light moments amid the hard times. Radio stations tried to provide some needed diversion by airing such entertainments as boxing matches between Joe Louis and whichever poor schlep came forward to try to knock him out.

“They made (the matches) sound

He believes the 33 “compelling” stories told in Ten Lost Years will be an eye-opener about Canadian history, pre-welfare and medicare, and what many of our parents, grandparents or great-grandparents lived through.

“I think there will be a whole new understanding about the way things were” and the reason some of the older generation became the original re-

cyclers — never throwing anything out.

A Canadian who never made it into Broadfoot’s book or play is Bradshaw’s own grandmother.

The RDC instructor, who began talking to people about their Depression experiences since taking on this directing role, discovered his grandma lost the family farm and equipment dealership after her husband died of blood poisoning from an abscessed tooth.

Left to raise five children on her own, she was lucky to be able to return

to teaching. But that job didn’t allow her to feed all her hungry kids.

Bradshaw said his grandmother had to send her oldest two sons to live with an uncle and her oldest daughter to live with an aunt. “She was only able to keep my father (the second youngest child) and his younger sister with her.”

He concluded that many Canadians only survived the Depression through personal stoicism and strength of family. But even in their leanest moments, many people showed incredible generosity to others.

One of the more uplifting stories in the play features a young man who lived in a hobo camp outside Calgary.

When he received $2 in a letter from his mother, he went out and bought a couple dozen eggs, onions and other supplies that he turned into the Great Calgary Omelette to share with his destitute camp friends.

“I hope people really come out and enjoy this play,” said Bradshaw, who believes increased insight will be an unavoidable side effect.

When other theatre companies mounted this version of Broadfoot’s 1970s book that was adapted for the stage by Jack Windert and Cedric Smith, they noticed a lot of conversations happening during intermissions.

Bradshaw believes his young cast is shouldering a big challenge. “There’s a real responsibility to portray these characters with respect” — not just because they are based on real people, who lived through actual events, but because these Canadians are resilient survivors. lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

RASTA CHONG

TELEVISION

Silicon Valley is satire, but feels like a documentary

BY WILLA PASKIN ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES NEW YORK — Mike Judge’s sharp, very funny new HBO comedy Silicon Valley, about the absurdities of startup culture, feels like a satire. But as Judge, the man who made Beavis and Butt-Head and Office Space, put it in a recent interview, “You can’t call it satire when you are showing it like it is.”

Rarely has a show had to do so little to find so much to mock. The series opens with a group of nerdy techies attending the massive soiree of a newly minted multimillionaire. Kid Rock performs as no one listens, and then the host climbs onstage and shrieks, “We’re making the world a better place . . . through constructing elegant hierarchies for maximum code reuse and extensibility.” Eric Schmidt, Google’s chairman, agreed to appear in this scene because, he said, “I’ve been to that party.”

A venture capitalist believes that higher education is a scam and pledges to give $100,000 to young people who forgo college to begin startups. Millions of dollars are thrown at kids in T-shirts who have never heard of a business plan. Enormous tech companies feed twentysomethings cereal and paper them with slogans about doing good. CEOs hire spiritual gurus. Guys develop apps alerting them to the location of nipples. Billionaires fancy themselves disruptors and innovators and world-improvers, all the while maintaining the larger status quo: White guys making all the money and sneering at anyone who has not availed themselves of the “meritocracy.”

Silicon Valley exactingly, hilariously skewers all of this — and all of this is, more or less, really happening.

Thomas Middleditch stars as Richard Hendricks, an introverted programmer who spends his days working at Hooli, a massive tech company akin to Google, where slogans like “It takes change to make change” and “No fear, no failure” are festooned about. Richard lives in a “tech incubator” with three other nerds (Martin Starr, Kumail Nanjiani and Josh Brener, the first two working a great, sour rapport) that is overseen by the mesmerizing galoot Erlich Bachman (T.J Miller). Erlich is a buffoonish know-itall with occasional flashes of real insight and absurd facial hair who once sold a startup called Aviato, which he insists on pronouncing with something like a fake Spanish accent.

Richard is developing a mediocre music app called Pied Piper that contains, unbeknownst to him, even though he built it, a stellar file compression algorithm. He finds himself caught in a bidding war between Hooli’s CEO and the oddball angel investor Peter Gregory (Christopher Evan Welch), whom Richard met at a TED Talk where Peter was decrying college. (“Go work at Burger King, go into the woods and forage for nuts and berries, do not go back to college.”)

Richard becomes the CEO of a buzzy, brand-new, potentially billion-dollar tech company, even though he has to look up “business plan” on Wikipedia and has no idea what his company is or does.

Richard and his friends are naïfs, sympathetic near-losers with their noses pressed up against the opulence around them, who recognize its excess and absurdity — and still want in.

Rasta Chong, by Red Deer artist Jericca Bradshaw, is part of an unnamed exhibit on display at the Café Pichilingue in Red Deer. The show, which features several bold, colourful paintings, will be on display until the end of April.

Feather-flying jungle fun RIO 2 Two and a half stars (out of four) Rated: G

At the

BY BRUCE DEMARA ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICE Blu is back and he’s still, to use a metaphor with an animal theme, a fish out of water.

Rio 2 picks up where the first one left off and, despite an opening scene that takes place during New Year’s Eve celebrations in Brazil’s party-hearty capital, most of the action takes place in the Amazon jungle to the north.

There, Blu and Jewel and their three boisterous chicks go in search of a flock of fellow Spix’s macaws in a remote forest enclave where Blu — raised as a pet in Moose Lake, Minnesota — finds it hard to adapt to all the

“creepy” bugs and such.

Blu is still much too attached to his GPS device and fanny-pack, much to the disgust of his disapproving and derisive father-in-law, Eduardo. Blu’s old adversary, Nigel, is also back and bent on revenge after having his feathers fatefully clipped in the first film.

Meanwhile, Blu’s former owner, Linda, and her Brazilian ornithologist friend, Tulio, are menaced by a gang of

illegal loggers led by an evil guy who dismisses them as tree-huggers.

Director Carlos Saldanha doesn’t mess with the formula that made the first Rio a $500-million box office bonanza, with many of the same characters — such as Luiz, Pedro and Nico — back.

But, using the jungle setting, Saldanha also introduces a couple of new animal characters, including a poison dart frog named Gabi (delightfully voiced by Kristin Chenoweth) and a silent tamandua named Charlie along with some delightfully mischievous monkeys, a couple of amusingly slowdancing turtles and a boa constrictor who plays a brief but important role in dispatching the chief villain.

The voice work is well done, with Jesse Eisenberg as Blu and Anne Hathaway nicely fleshing out their respective characters and Jermaine Clement is wonderfully arch as the Shake-

speare-quoting Nigel. Bruno Mars is good fun as the preening Roberto, a prospective rival for Jewel’s affections, and Andy Garcia is the archetypically haughty father-in-law Eduardo.

There’s plenty of lively and inventive production numbers throughout and the animation, including the 3-D effects, is top-notch.

The storyline is a bit on the scant side so adults aren’t going to find it terribly engaging. But younger audiences, preteen and earlier, are going to come away with a couple of useful lessons — the first about not rushing to judgment about others, and the larger one on the importance of protecting nature from human depredation — that are presented in a way that is entertaining with a minimal of preachiness.

Those who enjoyed the adventures of Blu and Jewel and company in the first Rio are going to find the sequel an equally pleasing diversion.

Colbert to replace Letterman on CBS late show Colbert is already based in New York and CBS owns the Ed Sullivan Theater, where the Late Show has been taped since Letterman took over in 1993.

Letterman offered his endorsement Thursday. “Stephen has always been a real friend to me,” he said. “I’m very excited for him, and I’m flattered that CBS chose him. I also happen to know they wanted another guy with glasses.”

It’s a rapidly changing period for that time slot. Fallon took over for Jay Leno on NBC’s “Tonight” show in February, and has dominated the ratings since his arrival, with Letterman and Kimmel running neck-and-neck for

“Our discussions really centred on finding the most talented, the most creative (choice), the person who was going to conduct the most interesting interviews and be the most interesting person himself, and that’s what led us to Stephen,” said Nina Tassler, CBS entertainment chairman. She said CBS considered several candidates, but did not name them.

NEW YORK — CBS moved swiftly Thursday to replace the retiring David Letterman with Comedy Central’s Stephen Colbert, who will take over the Late Show next year and do battle with Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel for late-night television supremacy.

Colbert, 49, has been hosting The Colbert Report since 2005, in character as a fictional conservative talk-show host. The character will retire with The Colbert Report.

“Simply being a guest on David Letterman’s show has been a highlight of my career,” Colbert said. “I nev“A RAMBUNCTIOUS CAPER BURSTING AT THE SEAMS WITH QUICK WIT, FAMOUS FACES, er dreamed that I would AND WES ANDERSON’S PATENTED AESTHETIC DELIGHTS.” follow in his footsteps, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY though everyone in late night follows Dave’s lead.”

Letterman, who turns 67 on Saturday, announced on his show last week that he would retire sometime in 2015, although he hasn’t set a date. CBS said Thursday that creative elements of Colbert’s new show, including where it will be based, will be announced later.

CBS chose not to break the mould: CBS, ABC and NBC will all compete at 11:35 p.m. with shows hosted by white males. CBS, which has an older audience and generally seeks personalities with the widest appeal possible, is taking a chance with a personality whose show has a much more specific appeal.

But, like Fallon and Kimmel, Colbert is popular with young men and active

SILICON: Declaring freedom almost impossible “I’d like for this company to just be different from Hooli and Goolybib and all the rest,” Richard toasts his friends after the official start of Pied Piper. “Let’s not turn it into a corporate cult with voluntary retreats that are actually mandatory and claiming to make the world a better place all the time.

Let’s just think different,” he says, stumbling on Apple’s slogan. “Let’s just do it,” he tries, landing on Nike’s instead.

Richard finally settles on “Let’s make it happen,” but the point is made: Richard and his friends are already so immersed in corporatespeak and groupthink, declaring freedom is almost impossible.

For all of its bite, it’s easy to imagine that Silicon Valley will be loved by Silicon Valley, not just for the copious in-jokes and attention to detail, but for the way it further announces Silicon Valley’s relatively new hold on the American imagination.

Forget Wall Street and Hollywood, where white guys used to go to make their fortunes and get laid by women way hotter than them; masters of the universe are minted Palo Alto-adjacent now, and here’s a whole HBO show to prove it. If the show is even partially right about the hubris and self-regard that keep Silicon Valley afloat, there’s too much hot air up there for even a great, puncturing TV show to let it all out.

Willa Paskin, Slate’s TV critic, has written for New York Magazine, The New York Times Magazine and Salon.com.

Obituaries BARNES Herta (Hattie) Barnes passed away peacefully in the Lacombe Hospital on April 7th, 2014 at the age of 89 years. Hattie was born May 5th, 1924 in Bisarabia, Romania, second eldest of five daughters to Oscar and Emily Schlenker. At only four years of age Hattie made the arduous journey across the Atlantic with her family to begin a new life near relations in Castor, Alberta.

Hattie spent the entirety of her childhood on the farm near Castor.

As a young woman she worked for neighbors, at the Castor Hospital, and as a nanny for several families. In 1944 Hattie came to Lacombe to work as a live in nanny. At a dance attended by family and friends she met William (Bill) Henry Barnes. They were married March 14, 1945. Together Hattie and Bill settled on a homestead east of Lacombe. Side by side they ran a farm, created a home, and raised nine children. Hattie and Bill were devoted to each other and their life together. They shared 47 wonderful years until Bill’s passing in 1992. Hattie’s passions and main sense of pride were in her family, her home, and the farm. She was known for her hospitality and tremendous heart that loved without condition or reservation.

Known to many simply as Grandma, Hattie adored children and eagerly awaited each new arrival to her family. Hattie enjoyed gardening, knitting, crocheting, and reading. Hattie was predeceased by her husband Bill in 1992 and a baby daughter Patricia in 1950.
