Southside Dodge’s Mopar Mammas, also known as from the left Steve Vines, Sean Drouillard, Davin Simao and Sheldon Savoie, pause to show off a little leg along the course of the Walk a Mile in Her Shoes event in Red Deer on Thursday. About 150 men tossed aside their sensible footwear during the third annual walk and pumped things up wearing women’s high-heels. Many of the participants took things a little further, completing their outfit with a wide range of dresses and mini-skirts. An estimated $30,000 was raised at the event, which is held in support of the Women’s Outreach Society in Red Deer.

Program forces suspended students to confront drug issues

BY MYLES FISH ADVOCATE STAFF Student breaks the rules. Student gets suspended from school. Student effectively gets free vacation.

It may not be an ideal situation, but for the offending student the punishment may not be so bad. Even if it comes from some behaviour one has to answer for, it would be hard to find any teenager not excited about three to five days without any classes or requirements.

That was the outcome for transgressing students with the Red Deer Public School District up until early this school year.

Judge questions cellphone bail ban

BY BRENDA KOSSOWAN ADVOCATE STAFF

But a new program is keeping pupils suspended because of drug issues working on their school work and considering the choices that put them in the predicament.

George MacLeod wags a finger in my face and sternly says “Don’t do drugs!” He is demonstrating not his approach to getting students on the straight and narrow, but exactly the type of overture he says has failed with kids.

“My own view is that the scare tactics haven’t worked with kids. Kids turn off,” said MacLeod, a drug education specialist with McMan Youth, Family and Community Services Association.

A visiting judge has raised questions about the practice in Red Deer provincial court of banning some people from having cellphones, pagers and Internet-capable computers while they are on bail or probation.

Prohibiting cellphones puts people in danger and increases the risk that they will violate their release conditions, Judge Judy Shriar said on Tuesday while hearing how a man awaiting trial on fraud charges ended up back in remand after failing to report to his bail review officer.

Defence counsel Andrew Phypers explained to the judge that his client had found a new job and left early in the morning to work out of town.

Red Deer’s two MLAs have thrown their support behind Progressive Conservative leadership candidate Jim Prentice, who formally launched his campaign on Wednesday.

Cal Dallas, Red Deer South LUKASZUK MLA and minister of International JOINS RACE A3 and Intergovernmental Relations, and Red Deer North MLA Mary Anne Jablonski are among the list of 45 out of the 58 PC MLAs who have endorsed Prentice, a former federal cabinet minister.

“Having known Jim for some time, I’ve come to admire his approach to politics,” said Dallas. “He has a real passion for Alberta and I see the commitment he’s prepared to make. So based on my personal knowledge of him and what I’ve seen him do, I’m very happy to be supporting him.”

He said Prentice will take a common-sense leadership approach and is an avid relationship builder.

With Prentice at the helm of the party, Dallas added it would also be a positive for Central Albertans.

“He understands how the economy of Alberta works, how important accessing international markets is, the importance of diversification and to make sure that the entrepreneurs, innovators have opportunities moving forward. That’s really what Central Alberta is all about . . . energy services, agriculture, manufacturing, all of that. And that comes with a very strong commitment to education and environment. These are the pieces that are important to Central Alberta.”

Dallas said while no dates have been set, he fully expects to see Prentice make a campaign stop sometime soon in Red Deer.

Jablonski, who has known Prentice for the past 12 years through government relations, echoed Dallas, saying Prentice is a “highly honourable” person.

“I know he’s done some good things with our aboriginal communities . . . and he’s very environmentally tuned in,” she said. “I think he really means what he says and that’s important.”

BRIEFS Victim of fatal hit and run identified RCMP have now identified the victim of a fatal hit and run near Penhold on Tuesday and are asking for the driver of the vehicle that is believed to have killed the 18-year-old to come forward.

Trystan Sorensen of Penhold was killed while he was longboarding on the side of Hwy 592 about four km west of Penhold at about 10:30 p.m. Police said he was longboarding with a friend when he was struck by an eastbound vehicle.

Police describe the suspect vehicle as a blue Chrysler or Dodge SUV driven by a Caucasian female.

According to the Innisfail RCMP, their preliminary investigation indicates the collision was not intentional. The investigation is ongoing.

Anyone who witnessed the collision or saw any vehicle with damage to the front passenger side leave this area around 10:30 p.m. on Tuesday night are asked to contact the Innisfail RCMP detachment at 403-227-3342 or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Fire destroys mobile home Fire destroyed a mobile home at Les’ Trailer Court on Burnt Lake Trail early Thursday afternoon.

Dave Laurin, fire chief, administration and training, for Red Deer County, said flames quickly took over the structure after cooking was left unattended on top of the stove.

He said renters living in the mobile home were alerted to the fire by a smoke detector and called the fire department shortly before noon.

BAN: ‘Everybody needs a phone’ The had left a voice message with his bail review officer that morning, but could not be reached because he was prohibited from carrying a cellphone as one of his release conditions.

The accused man, who was on four separate recognizances, was consequently taken back to jail on a new charge of breaching his release conditions.

“Why can’t he have a phone? Everybody needs a phone,” Shriar said while accepting the man’s plea of guilty to a single count of breaching bail.

Shriar, who normally works in the Calgary Regional provincial court district, said she noticed while sitting in Red Deer on Tuesday that it is quite common for judges here to include bail or release conditions that prohibit people from using electronic devices including cellphones, pagers and Internetcapable computers.

She stated that the practice appears to be unique to Red Deer.

Such terms may be reasonable where an accused person is awaiting trial on child pornography and similar charges, said Shriar.

However, banning others from owning cellphones sets them up for breaches and can put them in danger, she said.

“I don’t like that condition. It’s going to set these guys up to go to jail again and again and again,” she said.

“I don’t know what he does for a living, but how can he not use a computer?”

Judges sitting in Red Deer have prohibited cellphones and other electronic devices where they were among the tools used in committing offences. In most of those cases, the terms include an exception allowing the devices for work purposes only.

In a separate case brought before Shriar on the same day, a cellphone was among the items seized from a man who pleaded guilty to possessing drugs for trafficking. Police identified the phone as bearing a number that undercover investigators used to set up a drug buy.

Shriar said any fears that cellphones are being misused for criminal purposes could be met by requiring that the phones be limited to the type that include a monthly bill detailing incoming and outgoing calls.

She crafted a new recognizance for the man accused of fraud, including restrictions on the type of

PROGRAM: ‘Kids live in a world full of drugs’ A transplanted Scot, MacLeod spent a decade working with youth on the hardscrabble streets of downtown Vancouver before coming to Central Alberta in 2003 to work with youth here. He works out of an office at Red Deer Public’s Alternative School Centre, and this year he has been contracted by the division to guide high schoolers through an Alternatives to Out-of-School Suspensions initiative.

The students who end up with MacLeod typically have shown up to school smelling of marijuana, or are found with drug paraphernalia on them. They are suspended from either Lindsay Thurber Comprehensive High School or Hunting Hills High School for a week, during which they have to pass their afternoons at the alternative centre.

Students spend two hours a day working through school work sent by their teachers, plus another hour with MacLeod. In his one-on-one time with the youth, MacLeod works through a formal program broken into four parts — one hour to talk about what is going on in the student’s life, the next two to talk about what benefits are derived from drug use and to consider the harm, and the final session sees the student set out a plan for what choices they want to be making going forward.

“The fact is that kids live in a world full of drugs,” says MacLeod, “Some kids make a choice to smoke something or use something, and that’s their choice.

What we do here is trying to help the kid reflect on the decisions they’ve made and help them see it in the context of their life. We won’t see them as a bad kid; we see them as a young person who made a choice.

“This program respects kids that they’ve got the power to make decisions. But they also need information to make these decisions and that’s why they look at the benefits and the harm. That’s a healthy decision-making model — whenever we make a decision, what’s good about it, what’s not so good about it?”

While alternative school principal Chad Erickson is careful to note that the division is not condoning teenage drug use, MacLeod stresses that it is not his job to make students quit, but simply to make them think. Students may use pot to deal with anger or stress or to fit in; MacLeod wants to give them other

avenues to handle such problems.

When the students do return to their high schools after the week away, there is follow-up with counsellors and administrators, and the commitments and goals the students identified with MacLeod are shared with school personnel. He does not, however, disclose whatever else the students shared with him, and he lets the youth know he can be a confidential sounding board even after the program.

“I find that when you truly listen to kids and give them an avenue where they feel heard and respected, that makes a difference,” he says.

In the last decade, the number of discipline cases involving drug use has increased dramatically within the school division. Alberta Alcohol and Drug Abuse Commission counsellors have worked in the two high schools, and in 2008 the division got provincial money to implement an intervention program for students with identified addictions.

But students found with a joint or bloodshot eyes would simply be sent home with school work to do before this year. Homework compliance was effectively “nil” and when the students returned, teachers had to play catch up with them. Putting them in the alternative school where they are supported and supervised lessens how far they fall behind.

“When we have the opportunity to still keep them engaged in their learning a bit as well as trying to address some of the reasons why they’re using drugs, to me that’s a win all the way around. It’s been excellent for us,” says Lindsay Thurber principal Dan Lower, whose students have made up the majority of the 30 who have gone through the program.

With drug use becoming more accepted socially and kids more aware of what is out there, Lower said there are indications that more youth in his school are using.

“So if we’re going to find more and more kids under the influence, it just makes sense that we’re not just turfing them out of school.”

The division is measuring the program as a success thus far on the basis of zero cases of recidivism, no expulsions, and the fact that three students have made the permanent switch to the alternative centre after going through the program.

But the players involved acknowledge that immediate 180-degree lifestyle shifts are unlikely and the initiative’s efficacy will be determined over a longer term as the kids age.

Deputy superintendent Stu Henry said the division intends to continue the program next year, and could expand it to cover suspensions relating to transgressions such as fighting or defiance in the future.

Last year, schools within the division issued 247 out-of-school suspensions lasting for three or more days. mfish@reddeeradvocate.com

BRIEF Suspect in Calgary’s worst mass murder fit to stand trial CALGARY — A man accused of killing five young people in Calgary’s worst mass murder has been found fit to stand trial.

Matthew de Grood is charged with first-degree murder after four men and a woman were stabbed to death at a house party that was being held last month to mark the end of the university school year.

De Grood, 22 and the son of a senior Calgary police officer, had been ordered to undergo a 30-day assessment to determine whether he was mentally fit to stand trial.

He appeared in court briefly by video link Thursday and a judge was told de Grood understands what is happening.

Outside court, de Grood’s lawyer, Allan Fay, said the finding has nothing to do with guilt or innocence.

“You have to keep in mind that being fit to stand trial only means that he understands the process and can instruct counsel,” Fay said. “You can still be very profoundly mentally ill and be fit to stand trial.”

Court heard de Grood will remain in psychiatric care under a mental health certificate.

The case is due back in court July 22. Fay needs time to go through thousands of pages of evidence disclosure he has received from the Crown.

Police have not said what they think motivated the attack.

They have said de Grood was invited to the party April 15 and mingled with guests before violence broke out.

Jordan Segura, Kaiti Perras, Josh Hunter, Zackariah Rathwell and Lawrence Hong were killed.

A3 Lukaszuk joins race

FRIDAY, MAY 23, 2014

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

PC LEADERSHIP

EDMONTON — Alberta’s former jobs minister says his run to become the province’s next Progressive Conservative party leader will include efforts to rebuild voter trust broken during Alison Redford’s premiership.

“I was the first one to come out and say there was an issue with entitlement. I was the first one to say this government has lost its moral authority to govern,” Thomas Lukaszuk said Thursday as he announced his candidacy outside a downtown Edmonton coffee shop.

“We will have to focus for the next two years on earning back Albertans’ trust.”

Lukaszuk, a 45-year-old four-term legislature member from Edmonton-Castle Downs, said he believes it can be done.

“With proper leadership, with acceptance of some of our flaws and with focus on improving ourselves, we will earn the trust of Albertans.”

Lukaszuk joins one-time federal cabinet minister Jim Prentice and former Alberta infrastructure minister Ric McIver, both from Calgary, in the race to become Redford’s permanent replacement.

Advanced Education Minister Dave Hancock is serving as premier until a new leader is chosen in September.

Redford resigned March 23 ahead of a caucus and

party revolt over her reported imperious leadership style and amid revelations of big-ticket self-indulgent spending.

Since her resignation, Redford has refused all comment on her time as premier and the issues that led her to step down.

Lukaszuk said he was the rebel in Redford’s fold, protested some of her decisions and paid a political price for that.

Last December, Redford demoted him from deputy premier and advanced education minister to the jobs, skills, training and labour portfolio.

“As you may have noticed, I’ve relocated from the fourth floor to the basement of the legislature. That just didn’t simply happen by coincidence,” he said Thursday.

McIver and Prentice have already said that earning back the trust of Albertans will be central planks in their campaigns.

The party tumbled drastically in public opinion polls before Redford resigned and has yet to recover.

Recent documentation showed that she used government aircraft for family trips and political events.

She ignored tendering rules to refurnish her legislature offices and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars hiring extra security.

Ponoka County grapples with medical marijuana operations

Widow, U.S. soldier sue Omar Khadr for US$45M for death, injury TORONTO — The widow of a U.S. special forces soldier killed in Afghanistan and an American soldier blinded by a grenade are suing Canada’s Omar Khadr for almost US$45 million, The Canadian Press has learned.

In the lawsuit filed Thursday in Utah, Tabitha Speer and Sgt. Layne Morris allege Khadr, then 15, was responsible for the death of Sgt. Christopher Speer and Morris’s injuries in July 2002.

The factual basis for the suit, according to their lawyer, is Khadr’s guilty plea to five war crimes before a U.S. military commission in Guantanamo Bay in October 2010 that saw him sentenced to a further eight years in prison.

The plea deal included a stipulation of facts in which Khadr, now 27, admitted to murder and attempted murder in violation of the rule of war, and three other war crimes.

“We took his own very words,” lawyer Don Winder said in an interview from Salt Lake City.

“We do not think there is any basis for his denial.”

The Toronto-born Khadr, currently incarcerated in the Bowden Institution in Innisfail has since said he only pleaded guilty to get out of Guantanamo Bay and be returned to Canada.

Armoured vehicle involved in fatal army accident has history of rollovers OTTAWA — The LAV III, which served as an eight-wheeled, armour-plated military workhorse for Canadian soldiers in Afghanistan, was under fresh scrutiny Thursday after a deadly rollover in Alberta that killed a senior commanding officer.

The accident Wednesday at CFB Wainwright, 300 kilometres southeast of Edmonton, comes with the fleet in the midst of a $1-billion upgrade launched in 2011 to improve the vehicle’s stability, armour and electronics. It’s also just the latest in a series of rollover incidents over the last 15 years involving the LAV III, many of them fatal.

Lt.-Col. Dan Bobbitt, commanding officer of the 2nd Regiment, Royal Canadian Horse Artillery, based at Garrison Petawawa, Ont., died when the light armoured vehicle he was riding in rolled over during a large training exercise involving up to 5,000 soldiers.

Ponoka County is the latest municipality wrestling with how to deal with medical marijuana operation applications.

Since the federal government outlined new regulations for medical marijuana, applications have begun to trickle into rural municipalities, including Ponoka County, where an application was turned down by the municipal planning commission last year.

Canruderal Inc. appealed but the board upheld the original decision in January.

The close call, which would have seen a medical marijuana facility sprout up near country residential-zoned areas, led the municipality to take a hard look at its bylaws.

Council reviewed its options earlier this month and have given first reading to a Land Use Bylaw amendment limiting medical marijuana businesses to areas zoned direct control. That zoning gives council final say on each application while providing residents a forum to comment through a public hearing.

County Reeve Paul McLauchlin said council’s proposed option “maintains that public involvement in the process” as well as leaving each application to be rated on its merits by council.

“It’s not yea or nay. It allows people to have the right to pursue this opportunity and at the same time it allows the neighbours to participate in the process.”

PRENTICE: ‘Shadowy’ Prentice, a lawyer for 20 years, was elected as MP for Calgary North Centre in 2004. Over the years, he managed the federal cabinet portfolios for Industry, Environment, Indian Affairs and Northern Development. Also, while in Stephen Harper’s government, he served as the senior political minister for Alberta from 2006 until the end of 2010.

“When he ran provincially he lost to the NDP,” said Stephen Merredew, president of the Red Deer federal NDP riding association, speaking about the 1986 election. “I think most people would describe him as being shadowy.”

The race for command of the PC party began after former premier Alison Redford resigned in March.

Prentice, who filed his nomination package last Friday, was the first official candidate with his hat in the ring.

Thomas Lukaszuk, the former jobs minister, announced Thursday he will be picking up his nomination package and running for the leadership.

Ric McIver, who stepped down from his position as Alberta’s infrastructure minister earlier this month to join the race, announced he would be running a couple weeks ago but is still in the process of collecting the required 500 signatures from party members before filing his papers. Candidates have to collect 100 names from each region in the province: Edmonton, Calgary, Central Alberta, and the north and south areas.

McIver was in Red Deer on Saturday at the public market to amass more signatures and spread his message.

Alberta’s former municipal affairs minister, Ken Hughes, declared his intention to run for the leadership before McIver but dropped out of the race last week, saying he was supporting Prentice.

In addition to the signatures, candidates have to put down a $20,000, non-refundable deposit will have to pay another $30,000 when nominations close on May 30.

The party will vote on Sept. 6. Any Albertan age 14 and up who has a PC party membership is entitled to cast a ballot. rfrancoeur@reddeeradvocate.com

Other options, such as listing medical marijuana operations as a discretionary use in agriculturalzoned land or lumping them in the same category as intensive livestock operations were rejected.

McLauchlin said identifying industrial areas for marijuana facilities may not have sat well with urban neighbours adjacent to most of the county’s industrially zoned land.

“Us making unilateral decisions saying that’s where these projects would be right next to the town I’m not sure what their response would be to that.”

This was the route recently adopted by Mountain View County, which passed a bylaw limiting medical marijuana to heavy industrial areas or business parks.

Residents in that municipality had previously expressed their dismay when a medical marijuana operation was approved last year without a public hearing because it was defined as an agriculture and permitted use.

Ponoka councillors felt treating medical marijuana as a discretionary agriculture use was seen as leaving the door a little too open for those sorts of applications.

Prohibiting medical marijuana altogether was also not favoured because of potential challenges.

“I think if you just say no that’s not fair. We need to be fair and just, and in order to do so we need to be able to say yes with provisions.”

The land use amendments will go to a public hearing and second reading on June 17. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

FRIDAY, MAY 23, 2014

We get what we deserve WHY CAN’T WE UNDERSTAND THAT THE LESS PHYSICALLY ACTIVE WE ARE, THE MORE COSTLY IT IS TO OUR HEALTH — AND OUR POCKETBOOK? That Canadian kids get a D-minus for being physically active is hardly news. Really, it’s just a “minus” drop from 2012, when they got a straight D. When Canadian kids dropped half a point in international math scores (still among the highest in the world), governments, school boards and pundits held a mass fire drill. We all but declared a GREG national state NEIMAN of emergency and developed a whole new kind of math to cure the “crisis.”

But when we find out our children are at historic high risk for major killers due to their sedentary lifestyles, Canadian parents just switch to the Cartoon Network.

An additional $4 billion or so hit to our health-care in direct and indirect costs of being sedentary? Get in the car, kids, let’s see something in 3-D. Active Healthy Kids Canada has been releasing the reports for years, tracking the activity levels of Canadian children and comparing it to that of 14 other countries.

Really, nobody’s doing really all that great on the scores. Nobody wants to move to Mozambique, where kids are active. And besides, we can always sit back and laugh at Scotland, which got an F. Alberta cities score higher than the national average for obesity — and that includes Red Deer.

But the message is getting through.

This year, the group released Canada’s test results at the first-ever global summit on youth health and activity, in Toronto.

Somebody, somewhere, is paying attention. Somebody, somewhere, is starting to get scared.

Even though three-quarters of Canadian children are reported to take part in organized sports, and almost all have good access to gyms, pools, rinks and parks, only about seven per cent get their medically-recommended 60 minutes a day of physical activity.

It’s not because our kids are too busy. A huge portion of Canadian children get more than two hours of TV time a day. If you count cellphone, school and screen time, Canadian kids average just under eight hours a day looking at a screen, says Active Healthy Kids Canada. Every day.

INSIGHT

The Canadian Paediatric Society strapped accelerometers onto children between 2007 and 2009, and got much the same results. They reported that kids sit on their butts for 6.8 hours a day.

Kids who spend more than two hours a day in front of the TV are more than twice as likely to be obese as kids who get an hour or so of TV time a day.

We like to blame TV for the rising sedentary habits of our children but actually we are to blame. In last year’s report (in which Canada got a D-plus), Active Healthy Kids Canada singled out Mom and Dad. When Mom and Dad were kids, almost 60 per cent of children walked or biked to school. Today, 62 per cent of children use inactive forms of transportation exclusively, says Active Healthy Kids Canada.

It’s not that kids say they want it that way. In the 2012 Active Healthy Kids Canada survey, 92 per cent of children said they would rather play with friends than watch TV. But in re-

ality, they spent 63 per cent of their time after school and on weekends just sitting around.

The World Health Organization reports that in industrialized countries, between 60 per cent and 80 per cent of adults do not get an hour of physical activity every day. What’s your average?

Hardly surprising, then, that Type 2 diabetes — a major complication of obesity — is on the rise. A major complication of Type 2 diabetes is kidney failure.

Young people in North America are being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in numbers never before seen.

Here in Red Deer, we called it a victory when we got funding for more dialysis machines. Well, when your house is on fire, you’ve got to call the fire department — and they had better be there for you, quick.

But it would be far better that you prevent the fire.

Obesity in youth is known to lead to obesity in adulthood. Obese adults die

three to seven years younger than their peers, and their lifetimes are marked by higher use of costly health care.

Simple activity is the cheapest and most effective prevention of all of that.

Sixty minutes a day, every day, that’s what it takes.

Kids who walk or bike to school get on average 45 minutes a day, just by doing that. So would their parents if they rode or walked to work.

But instead of embracing prevention, Red Deer puts up barriers to it, calling it a waste of money to build the infrastructure needed to make safe non-car commutes.

Less than $1 million on new infrastructure, versus crisis spending of billions for easily preventable healthcare costs.

That’s a D-minus score on a lot of levels.

Don’t abandon the Alberta tax advantage

BY JOSH BILYK SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE A campaign launched by progressive advocacy group Public Interest Alberta (PIA) would have us believe that Albertans can have almost every government service they ever wanted, if only we would abandon our single rate income tax model.

The “Alberta Could …” campaign website features a giant ticker that estimates the government could take in an additional $2 billion a year if only they would bring in new, higher tax brackets for businesses and individuals earning more than $100,000 a year.

The PIA plan would raise the income tax rate for some 122,000 Albertans who earn more than $100,000 per year from 10 to 13 per cent. For earnings over $150,000 (another 82,000 Albertans would be affected), the PIA-proposed tax rate would increase to 15 per cent. The business tax rate for companies with more than 50 employees would increase from 10 to 12 per cent.

All told, the PIA plan would represent the largest tax increase this province has ever seen.

PIA urges Albertans to fantasize about all the terrific things the government could do with the “found money” it would be raking in. If only life were so simple. Government drawing an additional $2 billion from working Albertans would have a dramatic impact on the provincial economy and damage our ability to attract people and investment during a fragile time when the economic growth is starting to rebound — as reflected in the job numbers that were just reported for April.

A key assumption made by PIA, and a flawed one,

is that the government is somehow cash-strapped.

This is simply not the case. Government revenues are healthy. In fact, total government revenues are about as high as they have ever been, and Alberta has led the country in economic growth for the past two years. Last year, the Alberta government took in nearly $10 billion in personal income tax revenue — a record for the province.

It’s worth remembering why Alberta adopted low single rate corporate and personal taxes in the first place, back in the 1990s.

Prior to the Klein government balancing the budget and bringing in competitive tax rates, the province attempted to diversify the Alberta economy by investing public money directly into various business schemes. Some of these investments turned out OK, but many more were dramatic failures. The government’s failed forays into waste treatment facilities, trust firms and telephone companies cost Alberta taxpayers hundreds of millions.

In its bid to balance the budget, the Klein government swore off this approach, declaring the Alberta government was no longer in “the business of being in business.”

Instead, they sought to create a tax system that would be envy of the country and draw private sector investment into province without risking public money.

This policy has been remarkably successful. In 1985, the energy industry accounted for 36 per cent of the provincial economy. In 2012, energy’s share had declined to 23 per cent, while industries like agriculture, manufacturing and finance have grown.

The provincial economy is less reliant on oil and gas than it was 30 years ago, and that’s due in no small part to the Alberta tax advantage.

But calls to abandon low taxes in favour of a tax regime like Ontario’s or British Columbia’s never go away.

With the Alberta government slipping back into deficits and borrowing money to finance infrastructure, those calls are only getting louder.

It’s no surprise that support for scrapping the single rate tax is growing at the political level. The Alberta Liberals campaigned during the last election on bringing back higher tax brackets and the NDP have always favoured higher taxes.

Even in the governing Progressive Conservative Party, there is support for hiking taxes — with prominent Tories like former finance minister Ron Liepert publicly musing about introducing a sales tax.

The idea of simply raising taxes on high income earners and businesses is seductive in its simplicity. After all, the government could always use more money and some people can afford to pay more taxes.

But abandoning our competitive and widely-admired tax structure would be a huge mistake. Alberta businesses are struggling to recruit the workers needed to fuel the provincial economy. Hiking taxes at this time would make it more difficult for businesses to get the people needed and send would the wrong message to international investors.

“Alberta could” raise taxes on thousands of Albertans and businesses … but it should stick with the Alberta tax advantage that has paid tremendous dividends for all Albertans.

CANADA EU seal products ban upheld ST. JOHN’S, N.L. — Canada lost its bid to overturn Europe’s ban on imported seal products Thursday but seized on World Trade Organization findings that aspects of the embargo breach international obligations.

A WTO appeal decision released in Geneva upheld a previous ruling that the European Union ban is “necessary to protect public morals” regarding animal welfare.

But the three-member panel agreed with the prior dispute settlement finding that exemptions to the ban have not been fairly applied.

It says the embargo “constitutes a means of arbitrary or unjustifiable discrimination,” particularly because of how exemptions for seal products from Inuit or indigenous communities are handled.

It finds the EU has not sufficiently shown how its treatment of indigenous versus commercial hunts “can be reconciled with the objective of addressing EU public moral concerns regarding seal welfare.”

It also found “considerable ambiguity” in how terms such as “subsistence” are used for Inuit harvests. And it raises concerns that vague criteria could allow seal products from commercial hunts to enter EU markets under indigenous exemptions.

Commissioner slams collapsed mall engineer for request to preview report OTTAWA — The discredited engineer who signed off on a northern Ontario mall weeks before it collapsed has blindsided the judicial inquiry probing the tragedy with a request to review a draft of its report, the commissioner said Thursday.

In a strongly worded order, Commissioner Paul Belanger said he had several concerns with the application from Robert (Bob) Wood, who faces criminal charges in the deadly June 2012 collapse.

Among them, Belanger said, was that Wood had changed his tack since his initial notice of application in which he said he wanted parts of the final report relating to him blacked out.

Wood, 65, subsequently asked to review the relevant sections of the final draft first, so he could then decide if he wanted to seek redactions without first informing the commission of the change.

Belanger is having none of the two-step approach.

“Mr. Wood’s filed application is materially different from the one he advised commission counsel he would make,” Belanger said.

“This attempt . . . creates an unnecessary and unacceptable delay.”

Privacy inquiry urged

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — One of the voices behind a new declaration on mass surveillance says Canada needs a commission of inquiry to ensure governments and corporations respect privacy in an era of big data.

Prof. David Murakami Wood of Queen’s University in Kingston, Ont., says it’s time for an in-depth look at how organizations routinely collect and sort huge amounts of personal information.

Murakami Wood, a member of the university’s Surveillance Studies Centre, joined other academics and civil libertarians in publishing the seven-point statement aimed at improving accountability.

The statement calls for a “public process” to come up with a comprehensive legal framework for information and privacy rights, building on the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and United Nations principles.

“We have no particular opinion on what kind of a process, as long as it’s open and accountable,” Murakami Wood said in an interview.

“But that kind of thing has to happen, it’s about time. We need to start taking this seriously at a national level.”

The initiative comes amid public concern about surveillance by western security agencies, the large-scale transfer of Internet customer data to state authorities, and a legislative move by the federal government to make it easier for police and spies to find out more about online activities.

The government claims authorities need easier access to subscriber information held by Internet providers to catch terrorists, pedophiles and other criminals.

The individuals and organizations who signed the statement on surveillance say Canadian privacy and data protection laws and regulations are regularly bypassed, undermined or broken, and are inadequate to protect the rights of Canadians.

The declaration urges: ● Any planned government changes that affect privacy rights be “presented, justified, and debated in a transparent manner,” not hidden in unrelated bills. ● An end to expansion of rules allowing warrantless collection of private information without oversight. ● Extended powers for federal and provincial privacy commissioners, including the ability to prosecute and fine state bodies and private companies for breaches. ● All state security, intelligence, policing and border agencies be subject to appropriate legal, judicial and democratic oversight.

Among the organizations supporting the declaration are Amnesty International Canada, the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, the Canadian Internet Policy and Public Interest Clinic, the Ottawa-based International Civil Liberties Monitoring Group, the British Columbia Civil Liberties Association and Privacy International.

Students relieved that University CBC planning new of Saskatchewan’s president fired cuts: watchdog

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS SASKATOON — University of Saskatchewan students who called for the school’s president to resign say they’re relieved that she has been fired.

Ilene Busch-Vishniac, who sparked controversy with planned budget cuts and with the firing of a tenured professor who spoke out about them, was herself let go Wednesday night.

Nick Marlatte, who organized a rally earlier this week, said it’s a good step towards restoring the Saskatoon-based school’s reputation.

“I think it indicates that there’s some hope that the quality of the university is going to be preserved and that the board of governors actually understands that people are not only upset, but actually scared about the future of this institution,” Marlatte said.

Marlatte said students are pleased to see the university’s board of governors change direction, but he’s still apprehensive about how things will move forward.

“There’s been a lot of talk that things are going to change,” he said.

“But I can’t say that there’s much trust ... and I’m not going to really assume any trust until there is very definite sort of proof that that’s the case.”

The university released a plan last month that includes cutting jobs, reorganizing the administration and dissolving some programs to try to save about $25 million.

The cuts are part of a bigger goal to address a projected $44.5-million deficit in the school’s operating budget by 2016.

Marlatte acknowledges that the school has to tackle its deficit. But he argues that students, staff and faculty haven’t been re-

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — A watchdog group says the CBC is planning a fresh round of service cuts, including making Radio Two onlineonly and merging some English and French programming — but the public broadcaster denies the claims.

Friends of Canadian Broadcasting says executives are set to propose several major cuts when the board of directors meets in Ottawa on June 17 and 18. The group says they learned of these plans through “highlevel sources inside the CBC.” “This is very serious stuff. 80 per cent of Canadians like public broadcasting, and they’re going to be very angry when they hear about this,” said the arm’s-length group’s spokesman, Ian Morrison.

“This is the result of Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s antipathy to public broadcasting. We’re going to see it play out in about a month’s time and what we’re doing today is blowing the whistle.”

According to the watchdog, the proposed cuts include a plan to shut down over-theair distribution of Radio Two — CBC’s FM radio network that plays primarily adult contemporary, classical and jazz — in favour of distributing music solely online.

The broadcaster also plans to significantly reduce CBC-TV’s non-commercial morning children’s programs, such as “Arthur” and “Poko,” the group says. It also says acclaimed shows like “Republic of Doyle” may be on the chopping block.

In addition, the group asserts that cuts will target more local programming. Last month, the broadcaster cancelled the afternoon radio show in Thunder Bay, forcing the small Ontario city to receive programming from Sudbury, some 1,000 kilometres away.

spected in the overhaul.

Prof. Robert Buckingham, who was also executive director of the School of Public Health, was fired last week after writing a letter to the government and Opposition about the cuts.

Busch-Vishniac admitted a few days later that the university “made a blunder” in its handling of Buckingham. He was offered back — and accepted — his tenure position, but Busch-Vishniac said he would not be reinstated as head of the School of Public Health.

The board made a “very difficult decision, but very necessary decision” in firing Busch-Vishniac, Advanced Education Minister Rob Norris said Thursday.

“The reputational damage to the University of Saskatchewan was deepening . . . the letter and the response in fact was causing increased reputational damage,” Norris said at the legislature in Regina.

He said there were concerns from academic leaders and he heard that scholars at the University of Saskatchewan were looking for other jobs.

The issue of tenure “should never have been on the table,” Norris said. “It was a catalyst. It drew unrest and outrage — and rightfully so — not simply at the University of Saskatchewan, but from right across the country,” he said.

“I think the University of Saskatchewan realized that with its at least partial reversal, but the explanation about the reversal, about the decision, just left a number of glaring gaps.”

University board chairwoman Susan Milburn said a number of factors went into the decision to let Busch-Vishniac go, but fallout over Buckingham’s situation didn’t help.

Army seizes power in coup

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BANGKOK, Thailand — Without firing a shot, Thailand’s powerful military seized control of this volatile Southeast Asian nation Thursday, suspending the constitution and detaining Cabinet ministers in a risky bid to end half a year of political upheaval that many fear will only deepen the nation’s crisis.

The coup, the second in eight years, accomplished in a few minutes what anti-government protesters backed by the nation’s traditional elite and staunch royalists had failed to achieve on the street: the overthrow of a democratically elected government they had accused of corruption.

The new junta leader, army chief Gen. Prayuth Chan-ocha, announced he was taking power almost immediately after talks between the nation’s bitter political rivals — which lasted a mere four hours over the last two days — ended in deadlock and the government refused to resign.

Prayuth claimed he had to act to restore stability and “quickly bring the situation back to normal” amid increasing spasms of violence that together with controversial court rulings had rendered the government powerless and the country profoundly divided.

But troubles for Thailand, a regional economic hub whose idyllic white-sand beaches and elephantfilled jungles draw millions of tourists a year, could be just beginning.

“We’re likely to see dark days ahead,” said Thitinan Pongsudhirak, a political analyst at Bangkok’s Chulalongkorn University, referring to the possibility of violent resistance from the ousted government’s supporters.

The deposed administration of acting Prime Minister Niwattumrong Boonsongpaisan, which was summoned to appear before the junta Thursday night, seemed to have gone into hiding and made no statement condemning the coup. Four of its ministers, ordered to an army compound for talks earlier in the day, were in custody, along with top protest leaders.

“The rest of us who are outside are still fine and in safe places,” said the ex-premier’s adviser, Paradorn Pattanathabutr. “The situation is very worrying.

We ... don’t know what else can happen.”

The army, which imposed martial law in a surprise move Tuesday that many sensed was a prelude to taking full power, imposed a nationwide curfew that began at 10 p.m. — a clear sign it is concerned about potential unrest. During the last coup, in 2006,

An anti-government demonstrator cries before leaving a demonstration site, after the military seized power Thursday in Bangkok, Thailand. Thailand’s military seized power Thursday in a bloodless coup, dissolving the government, suspending the constitution and dispersing groups of protesters from both sides of the country’s political divide who had gathered in Bangkok and raised fears of a violent showdown.

THAILAND Bangkok residents moved freely and wrapped yellow ribbons and flowers around tank turrets until dawn.

Prayuth called on the public not to panic this time, either. But the vast capital’s elevated train, subway and bus stations shut down early, filling with long queues as anxious office workers rushed home along increasingly empty streets.

After nightfall, troops deployed armoured personnel carriers to block main roads, including one in

front of the U.S. Embassy, and diverted traffic at key intersections. Major highways were virtually devoid of traffic, extraordinary for the normally bustling metropolis of 10 million.

International cable news channels, including CNN and BBC, were taken off air.

Earlier, armed troops dispersed demonstrators from protest sites where competing groups were camped out — one filled with thousands of Red Shirts who support the now-ousted elected government, the other with those who had struggled for seven months to unseat it.

Obama scrambles to contain veterans scandal ‘I WILL NOT STAND FOR IT . . . .

NONE OF US SHOULD. IF THESE ALLEGATIONS PROVE TO BE TRUE, IT IS DISHONOURABLE, IT IS DISGRACEFUL, AND I WILL NOT TOLERATE IT, PERIOD.’

40 VETERANS DIED WHILE LANGUISHING ON SECRET WAITING LISTS AT HOSPITAL

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS WASHINGTON — Google the phrase “Obama’s Katrina,” and the search engine spits out just over 35,200 results.

Opponents of the U.S. president have spared no opportunity to liken every failure — perceived or otherwise — to the disastrous New Orleans hurricane response that irreversibly weakened George W. Bush’s presidency.

From the BP oil spill in 2010 to more recent problems with the launch of the Obamacare website, the deadly 2012 Benghazi attack in Libya and accusations of partisan bias at the Internal Revenue Service, Barack Obama’s foes have jumped on every scandal, acknowledged or alleged, as the big one.

Despite it all Obama’s approval rating, while less than stellar at 44 per cent, remains at least eight percentage points higher than Bush’s at the same stage in their respective presidencies, according to the Gallup organization.

But this latest scandal could be different. Not only does it involve vulnerable people, death, administrative failure, and accusations of a coverup, it has — like Katrina — also prompted more generalized outrage.

The vitriol directed at the administration over the treatment of veterans is coming from normally kind quarters. First, there was a swear-word-soliloquy from Democrat-friendly comedian Jon Stewart.

Then, on Wednesday, an on-air venting from a cable

news anchor and a reporter covering the story — not from the notoriously anti-Obama Fox News, but on CNN. “In Washington, they call this bad optics. Here, in Phoenix, they call it disgusting,” reporter Drew Griffin said of fresh news that the director of the Phoenix veterans’ hospital received a US$8,500 bonus last month.

That bonus came despite reports that 40 veterans had died while languishing on secret waiting lists at the hospital — waiting lists that were allegedly hidden by hospital staff through double bookkeeping and document-shredding.

The anchor at the CNN desk, Brooke Baldwin, chimed in bluntly: “It is disgusting.”

News outlets around the country were jumping on the story and looking into records at federally run veterans’ hospitals across the land. The Veterans Affairs Inspector General’s office said 26 facilities were being investigated nationwide — up from 10 just last week.

“I will not stand for it — not as commander in chief, but also not as an American,” Obama told a White House news conference in his first public remarks in more than two weeks.

“None of us should. If these allegations prove to be true, it is dishonourable, it is disgraceful, and I will not tolerate it, period.”

The president’s opponents, various political observers, and at least one veterans’ group called his response disappointing or inadequate. Congress is also weighing legislation that would grant the Veterans’ Affairs secretary more authority to fire or demote senior executives.

Some are also demanding the dismissal of the current secretary. Obama met with the embattled Eric Shinseki early Wednesday, but did not appear with him in public. The president has insisted that he only learned of the alleged coverup through recent media reports.

He did defend his cabinet secretary, however.

Shinseki himself is a veteran who lost part of his right foot in combat. The president said the retired four-star army general had “put his heart and soul” into helping veterans through a variety of initiatives during his five years on the job.

Sixteen killed, 30 wounded in attack on Ukrainian troops

Nigerians protest government inaction over kidnappings

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Photo by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

An Ukrainian soldier stands near destroyed truck at a gunfight site near the village of Blahodatne, eastern Ukraine, on Thursday. At least 16 Ukrainian troops were killed and about 30 others were wounded when pro-Russians attacked a military checkpoint, the deadliest raid in the weeks of fighting in eastern Ukraine.

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BLAHODATNE, Ukraine — In the deadliest raid yet on Ukrainian troops, pro-Russia insurgents attacked a military checkpoint Thursday, killing 16 soldiers, and the interim prime minister accused Moscow of trying to disrupt the upcoming election for a new president to lead the divided country out of its crisis.

A rebel commander said one of his fighters also died in the raid in eastern Ukraine, which left a gruesome scene of charred military vehicles and scorched bodies near the town of Volnovakha, 30 kilometres south of the city of Donetsk.

Witnesses, including a medical worker, said more than 30 Ukrainian troops were wounded, with some in grave condition. Fighting also raged in at least two other villages.

The armed uprising and the government’s offensive to put it down have cast a shadow over Sunday’s election, with Kyiv acknowledging it will be impossible to hold the vote in some areas. In the eastern regions of Donetsk and Luhansk, where separatists have declared independence and pledged to derail the vote, election workers reported threats and interference from gunmen.

Interim Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk accused Russia of escalating the conflict and trying to disrupt the election. In a post on Facebook, he called for an urgent session of the U.N. Security Council and said Ukraine would present evidence of Moscow’s involvement.

In the attack on the checkpoint, residents said the rebels arrived in an armoured bank truck, which the unsuspecting Ukrainian soldiers waved through.

The rebels opened fire with automatic weapons and rocket-propelled grenades, acting President Oleksandr Turchynov said.

The Donetsk regional administration and a Health Ministry official said 16 soldiers were killed. Associated Press journalists saw 11 dead soldiers in the field near the village of Blahodatne, outside Volnovakha.

Ukraine’s Defence Ministry said the attackers hit an ammunition section in one of the military vehicles, which exploded in a fireball. Three blackened armoured infantry vehicles, their turrets blown away, and several burned trucks stood at the site.

Bodies apparently burned by the explosion and fire were scattered nearby.

A leading rebel commander claimed responsibility for the raid.

ABUJA, Nigeria — Scores of protesters chanting “Bring Back Our Girls” marched Thursday to Nigeria’s presidential villa to demand more action to free nearly 300 schoolgirls abducted by Islamic militants, but President Goodluck Jonathan did not meet with them, leaving a proxy to deliver a lecture that further angered the demonstrators.

“Another small window for Jonathan and he refuses to use it!” one protester yelled. “What a stupid move!”

The protesters complained of the insensitivity of Jonathan, who did not even met some of the parents of abducted children, who came to Nigeria’s capital specially to see him earlier this month.

Many schools across the country also closed Thursday to protest the abductions, the government’s failure to rescue them and the killings of scores of teachers by Islamic extremists in recent years.

In Maiduguri, the northeast city that is the birthplace of Boko Haram, protesting teachers says they “can no longer tolerate government insensitivity to the plight of the girls and the education sector.”

In Abuja the marchers sang “All we are saying is bring back our girls,” to the tune of John Lennon’s iconic Give Peace a Chance.

They were accompanied by police in riot gear as far as a road leading to the presidential villa, where a fire engine with water cannon was on standby.

Cabinet ministers and aides told the small crowd of about 300 people that Jonathan was not home. A message from the president was read urging Nigerians to unite and stop criticizing the government.

Murmurs of disagreement rose as they were told “The people of Afghanistan do not blame the government, they blame the terrorists.”

Civil society groups were counselled to “encourage Nigerians to supply useful information to the security services.”

That inflamed the crowd since that is exactly what residents of Chibok did, and if the military had responded to their warnings, the girls might never have been kidnapped.

Chibok local government chairman Bana Lawal told The Associated Press that he warned the army of an impending Boko Haram attack two hours before the rebels arrived. Reinforcements never arrived, leaving the road open to the school, where the extremists abducted more than 300 girls and young women. Fifty-three escaped and 276 remain in captivity, according to police.

Divine Flooring Flooring with Style

By Brian McLoughlin Advertising Feature

The very first floors consisted of the ground itself. And it was often cleared and leveled before a building was raised around it. In some cases hay or straw was used to soften the surface and make it warmer in winter. Animal skins were also used to add some extra padding to a floor. Stone floor construction was first developed in Egypt over 5000 years ago and used extensively in building palaces and monuments, by laying large blocks of heavy stone flooring. During the Roman Empire the fabrication of natural stone flooring reached a new height of innovation with the design of floors that were heated from below by air ducts supplied by underground furnaces. These were the first in-floor heating systems and kept people’s feet quite toasty in cooler weather.

Much has changed over the centuries, with intricately woven and affordable carpets and wall to wall carpeting replacing animal skins and radiant in floor heating replacing heated air. These technologies have in turn become common place and have fostered even newer and greater innovations in floor covering designs to help make your home a comfortable and

relaxed space for living.

Like all technologies however, innovation in flooring can bring with it a seemingly unending list of product choices. So, if you’re looking for help to find your way through the maze of available options you won’t find a better source of information and service in Central Alberta than Red Deer’s Divine Flooring.

GALCHENYUK SCORES IN OT AND TOKARSKI MAKES KEY SAVES TO GIVE HABS WIN

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Canadiens 3 Rangers 2 NEW YORK — Alex Galchenyuk scored at 1:12 of overtime to give Montreal a 3-2 win over the New York Rangers on Thursday and help the Canadiens get one foot out of their Eastern Conference final hole.

Montreal trails New York two games to one with Game 4 set for Sunday.

Henrik Lundqvist made the initial save off Tomas Plekanec but the puck bounced in off an onrushing Galchenyuk.

Daniel Briere’s goal with 3:02 remaining had looked to be the Montreal winner. But with the goalie out, Chris Kreider tipped in a Dan Girardi shot from an extremely tight angle with 29 seconds left to force overtime. The puck hit the skate of Canadiens defenceman Alexei Emelin on the way in.

The late Montreal goal came after Lundqvist made a fine stop on a Thomas Vanek shot from in-close. But the puck went to Briere who tucked it back in, around the post and off Ryan McDonagh Young goalie Dustin Tokarski came up big for the Canadiens, keeping the visitors in a game where New York held the upper hand for long periods. Given the ramifications of a third straight loss, it was a tremendously timely performance.

“Dustin Tokarski was phenomenal tonight. He’s a battler, and most important thing, he’s a winner,” said Canadiens head coach Michel Therrien.

With less than a minute left, he came to the rescue when he got a piece of a Martin St. Louis shot.

Andrei Markov also scored for Montreal, which was outshot 36-33 during regulation time.

“We weathered the storm, and I felt our team played with more confidence as the game went on, and they got a break at the end to tie the game up, it hit Alexei’s skate,” said Therrien.

“But without Tokarski’s performance, probably the result would have been different.”

Montreal Canadiens goalie Dustin Tokarski, right, blocks a shot by New York Rangers’ Rick Nash during the first period of Game 3 of the NHL Stanley Cup playoffs Eastern Conference finals, Thursday, in New York.

Carl Hagelin opened the scoring for New York, which had won its five previous playoff games.

Emotions ran high from the opening puck drop and former Ranger Brandon Prust applied a match to the fuse just three minutes in when he laid out New York forward Derek Stepan with an elbow/shoulder to the head at the New York blue-line. The officials, watching the play develop ahead, missed the blow which left Stepan face down on the ice and sent him briefly to the locker-room.

New York came out fast and led 1-0

after a dominant 20 minutes. But the Canadiens pushed back in the second to tie it up while the 24-year-old Tokarski, given the nod again over backup Peter Budaj in the absence of the injured Carey Price, worked some magic at the other end.

Montreal had little right to be on even terms going into the third. But thanks to Tokarski they were, setting the stage for a tense finale.

“I think the series has been intense.

I mean, we battled real hard in both games in Montreal and battled extremely hard tonight,” said Rangers

head coach Alain Vigneault. “We came out and we were ready to play. We had some good looks.

“We didn’t finish, obviously, as many opportunities as we would have liked to, but it was a hard-fought game.

Next one’s going to be the same.”

Dale Weise was almost the hero for the Canadiens with five minute remaining, when an errant clearance went right to him in front of Lundqvist.

But the Swedish star goalie stopped his blast from point-blank range.

Canada falls to Finland at world championships FINNS SCORE LATE TO ELIMINATE CANADA IN QUARTER-FINALS

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

Photo by THE CANADIAN PRESS

Team Canada goalie Ben Scrivens fails to stop a puck and Finland scores the second goal during third period quarter-final game on Thursday at the IIHF World Hockey Championship in Minsk, Belarus. Finland won 3-2.

Finland 3 Canada 2 MINSK, Belarus — Wanting Team Canada to improve game by game at the world hockey championship, coach Dave Tippett thought the quarter-final effort against Finland was the best yet.

It was also the last, as a couple of third-period mistakes led to a 3-2 loss Thursday at Chizhovka Arena and Canada’s elimination from the tournament.

“I use a phrase all the time that every play counts,” Tippett said. “Every play counts and unfortunately we had a couple go against us.”

The play that counted the most for Canada was a turnover by defenceman Tyler Myers, who tried to pass it off the wall to Kyle Turris. Jori Lehtera got in the way, setting up Iiro Pakarinen for the game-winner with just 3:08 left.

A downtrodden Myers said everyone saw what happened and didn’t feel he needed to explain.

Turris, who scored Canada’s first goal, took the blame.

“I was yelling at him, ‘I’m open in the middle, I’m open in the middle,’

and when he passed to the middle, the guy stepped in between,” Turris said.

“It was my fault. I was yelling at him to move it to me, and the guy stepped in the way and went the other way. I should have had it.”

It was a game that Canada felt it should have had. Holding a 2-1 lead after two periods on goals by Turris and Mark Scheifele, the Canadians were in control despite a strong game from Finnish goaltender Pekka Rinne.

One bad bounce 28 seconds into the third changed everything. Finland’s Juuso Hietanen let a slapshot fly that hit Ben Scrivens’s right arm, the back of his blocker, and then the shaft of his stick before trickling over the goalline.

“It’s a terrible goal to give up,” said Scrivens, who stopped 23 of the 26 shots he faced.

“It’s deflating for the team. That’s squarely on me. It’s really tough to swallow right now.”

This was the fifth straight year Canada lost in the quarter-finals at this tournament.

Foreurs, Oil Kings meet again at Memorial Cup after marathon game

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS LONDON, Ont. — Among the subplots of the Memorial Cup semifinal between Val-d’Or and Edmonton is No. 8 versus No. 8.

The Edmonton Oil Kings want defenceman Griffin Reinhart on the ice when Anthony Mantha is Friday.

With last line change as the home team, the Foreurs will attempt to spring their 82-goal man for a shift or two without the mammoth shadow of Reinhart.

“It’s Crazy Eights, right?” Oil Kings head coach Derek Laxdal said.

“It’s going to be a challenge for Griff and it’s going to be a challenge for Mantha.”

The MasterCard Memorial Cup semifinal is a rematch between the Quebec and Western league champions who went to double overtime Tuesday.

After 81 minutes 15 seconds — the sixth-longest-game game in tournament history — it ended 4-3 for Vald’Or on Anthony Richard’s breakaway

goal.

The semifinal victor faces the unbeaten Guelph Storm in Sunday’s final. The Ontario Hockey League champions did the Oil Kings a favour, but not the host committee, by eliminating the London Knights and preventing a tiebreaker game.

Reinhart and Mantha were teammates on Canada’s junior hockey team this year and are both first-round NHL draft picks.

Mantha was the 20th overall pick by the Detroit Red Wings last year. The New York Islanders selected the sixfoot-four, 215-pound Reinhart fourth overall in 2012.

“They’ve got last change so we’ll see how much I end up playing against him,” the Oil Kings captain said. “I like the challenge. I know him a little bit from world juniors and it will be fun for both of us I think.”

Mantha didn’t score Tuesday, but assisted on captain Samuel Henley’s third-period goal that pushed the game into overtime. The six-footfive, 204-pound Mantha dug the puck out from the boards to Richard, who

dished to Henley.

“To be honest with you I think Mantha played a pro game the last game,” Foreurs coach Mario Durocher said.

“He was physical. Even if he didn’t score but he got some points by making passes. He was first on the puck. He was able to play the physical game.

“Reinhart is a big guy, a strong guy and I think Tony needs to use his speed. He (Mantha) battled against him so I’m happy the way he played the last game.”

Guillaume Gelinas participated in half of Val-d’Or’s practice Thursday before heading to the dressing room.

The Quebec Major Junior Hockey League’s top-scoring defenceman suffered a “knee contusion” versus Guelph and wasn’t able to play in the game against Edmonton.

Gelinas felt he was ready to play, but Durocher was more cautious about the prospect.

“For sure if he’s 50 per cent I’m not going to put him in there, but if it’s more than that we’re probably going to ... depending on how he is, the way we’re going to put him on the ice is go-

Greg Meachem, Sports Editor, 403-314-4363 E-mail gmeachem@reddeeradvocate.com

>>>>

ing to depend on how good he feels,” the Foreurs coach said.

“For the last two years, he’s played against the best line, played power play, played penalty kill, so he’s a onetwo punch guy for us. It’s quite important to have him with us.”

Val-d’Or has relied heavily on goaltender Antoine Bibeau this tournament to bail out their porous defence.

The Toronto Maple Leafs prospect has faced 136 shots in this tournament.

He stole a 1-0 win from the Knights to open the tournament with a 51-save shutout. After falling behind 2-0 early against Edmonton, the Foreurs wormed their way back into the game on Bibeau’s 47 stops, including a penalty-shot attempt by Edgars Kulda.

“We think he can win a game by himself and this is what you need during playoff time and right now this is what he’s doing.” Durocher said.

But the Val-d’Or coach spent Thursday’s practice emphasizing more support of the defencemen by the forwards and increased protection of the slot.

Blue Jays complete sweep of Red Sox BUEHRLE GETS MAJOR LEAGUE-BEST EIGHTH WIN, CABRERA, BAUTISTA HOMER AS BLUE JAYS BEAT RED SOX

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Blue Jays 7 Red Sox 2 BOSTON — Mark Buehrle got his major league-leading eighth win with a big boost from Toronto’s powerful lineup.

Neither was surprising.

“Look what he’s done all year,” Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said after a 7-2 win over the Boston Red Sox on Thursday. “Who’s pitched better in baseball?”

Buehrle (8-1) has eight wins through May for the first time since 2002 and an ERA of 2.16. He gave up two runs in the first two innings, but by then Toronto had seven, starting with homers on consecutive pitches by Melky Cabrera and Jose Bautista in the first inning.

That gave the Blue Jays a major league-high 67 homers and gave Buehrle a big cushion.

The 15-year veteran lefty blanked the Red Sox for his final five innings and allowed seven hits and no walks while striking out five in seven innings.

Dustin McGowan pitched two shutout innings as the Blue Jays took a half-game lead over the New York Yankees in the AL East.

“It’s nice, obviously” to lead the majors in wins, “but I’ve always said you can go out your next eight starts and (stink) and be under .500,” Buehrle said.

“I try to throw it out the window and get ready for my next start.”

Toronto improved to 8-2 in its past 10 games, while Boston lost its seventh straight. The Red Sox went 0-6 on their homestand, the first time since June 1994, when they also lost six in a row at Fenway Park, that they were winless on a homestand of at least six games.

Czech power play beats U.S., Russia blanks France in quarters of hockey worlds

“We’re in a stretch of games here where we’re giving up too many runs early and we’re scuffling to score runs,” Boston manager John Farrell said. “That’s a dangerous combination.”

Red Sox ace Jon Lester (4-6) had his worst outing of the season, allowing seven runs and seven hits through 1 1-3 innings. Then he settled down and retired 12 straight batters before giving up a single to Kevin Pillar with one out in the seventh. But Pillar was caught stealing.

Lester left with one out in the seventh after allowing 10 hits and striking out just three. He had averaged an ALbest 10.83 strikeouts per nine innings.

“The list goes on and on of things that I just flat out didn’t do,” Lester said. “I just wasn’t able to do it with anything. Pick a pitch, I wasn’t able to do it.”

Buehrle retired 11 of his last 12 batters. He began the day tied with Zack Greinke, Rick Porcello and Adam Wainwright with seven wins each. The Dodgers’ Greinke was scheduled to pitch against the New York Mets on Thursday night.

Buehrle’s only loss came at home against Boston on April 25 when he allowed seven runs in an 8-1 loss.

Lester retired the first batter of the game, Jose Reyes, on a grounder. But Cabrera hit a 1-0 pitch for his eighth homer and Bautista followed with his 12th.

“You never anticipate that because (Lester’s) one of the best,” Gibbons said.

In the second, six of Toronto’s first seven batters reached base on five hits and a walk. Steve Tolleson and Pillar singled and moved up on a sacrifice bunt by Anthony Gose. Reyes doubled

Cabrera walked and Bautista and Edwin Encarnacion followed with RBI singles. Bautista came across when Brett Lawrie grounded into a forceout at second, making it 7-1.

The inning ended when centre fielder Jackie Bradley Jr. made a diving catch on a fly ball by Dioner Navarro.

MINSK, Belarus — The Czech Republic scored three secondperiod, power-play goals in beating the United States 4-3 in the quarterfinals of the ice hockey world championship on Thursday.

Also, Russia blanked France 3-0 to face defending champion Sweden or Belarus in the semifinals on Saturday.

The Czechs will play Canada or Finland in the semis.

Captain Tomas Rolinek answered Brock Nelson’s power-play goal in the opening period, and Tomas Hertl, Roman Cervenka and Ondrej Nemec all beat veteran goaltender Tim Thomas on power plays in less than 10 minutes in the middle period.

U.S. captain Justin Abdelkader received a five-minute penalty and was ejected for a big hit on forward Vladimir Sobotka, who needed treatment on the ice and did not return to the game.

Czech coach Vladimir Ruzicka didn’t give details about his injury but said he hoped Sobotka will be available for the semis.

Tyler Johnson reduced the deficit to 4-2 with 1:10 left in the game, and added his second 13 seconds later, but it was too late and the U.S., bronze medallists last year, came up short.

“I wish they (the goals) would have come a little sooner,” Johnson said.

Hertl and Cervenka scored from rebounds during Abdelkader’s penalty, and Jaromir Jagr set up Nemec to drive a slap shot past Thomas.

“We scored three power-plays goals and that decided the game,” Jagr said.

“But we messed things up in the last two minutes. It was a lesson for the young players, and for those who never experienced that the game ends only after the final whistle.”

Hawks look to regroup for Game 3

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS EL SEGUNDO, Calif. — Although Chicago and Los Angeles have won the last two Stanley Cup titles, Matt Greene and his fellow Kings realize the Blackhawks have been superior whenever the two championship teams were on the ice together recently.

Chicago’s recent mastery of the Kings completely came apart in one crazy period, and the Blackhawks are headed to the West Coast to figure out how to get it back.

When the teams return Saturday night for Game 3 of the Western Conference finals, the Kings hope to build on their five-goal third period in a 6-2 victory on Wednesday night, evening the series in dramatic fashion.

Until Game 2, Chicago had beaten the Kings six straight times and in nine of the clubs’ last 10 meetings dating back to last season’s conference finals.

The Blackhawks had been faster and more offensively creative than the Kings, but it all went away in a barrage of goals that set a distinctly different tone for Game 3.

“It’s been a series that’s gone in their favour for the last couple of years now,” Greene said Thursday at the Kings’ training complex. “We’ve got to do our best to change that. If we could put a finger on it, we would. But it’s up

STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS to us to figure it out and to keep it going and get some more wins. ... I don’t think they have a mental edge on us, no. You’ve just got to go out and play.”

Both teams essentially took Thursday off, gathering only for travel or a team meeting. While the Kings downplayed the importance of momentum from their win, the Blackhawks had an extra day to absorb the shock of their second four-goal defeat in the last six playoff games.

“I woke up this morning way more angry than I exited the game,” Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said Thursday before the team flew to the West Coast. “Normally it’s the other way around. ... A game like that is a game that should get your attention, and I think that’s where we’re at.”

Quenneville felt the loss was a significant setback for the Blackhawks only because of how it occurred. The two-time champion coach couldn’t recall such an abrupt reversal of momentum against Chicago in any game this season.

Quenneville thought his team essentially played a perfect game for the first 38 minutes, taking a 2-0 lead before it all fell apart with Los Angeles’ first goal. The Blackhawks aren’t a team that falls apart, but the Kings

have a way of making opponents do things they never imagined under playoff pressure.

“I think it was probably a little bit of a shock to us all,” Chicago defenceman Nick Leddy said. “But that’s how playoffs are.”

The Kings feel it wasn’t just momentum that gave them home-ice advantage in this series. Los Angeles had been making strides against the defending champions for months, and coach Darryl Sutter thought his team played much better in its series-opening defeat than its victory.

“I don’t think it was momentum,” Sutter said. “It was more once we were down two (goals), I think it was our ability — and we’re good at that — our ability to stay with it and stick with the game.”

That game is showing a few unexpected facets lately.

The Kings are now the highest-scoring team in the Stanley Cup playoffs with 3.25 goals per game, a shocking number for a defence-first team that struggled mightily to score for much of the regular season.

But the Kings’ success in Game 2 was due to its usual strengths on defence. Los Angeles’ defence on Chicago’s top scorers was uniformly solid.

Anze Kopitar shadowed Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews, who didn’t record a shot, while Patrick Kane failed to score a point for the second straight game.

The Kings excelled on special teams, killing a two-man Chicago advantage and scoring the tying and goahead goals on their own power plays.

Los Angeles also dominated the faceoff circle, following up its impressive work late in the second round against Anaheim.

“They’re huge momentum-swingers every time,” Greene said. “A good (penalty-kill) can do wonders for you in terms of momentum, and a good power play. The coaches do a good job emphasizing you don’t need to score on the power play. You just need to make sure you build momentum and get a good two minutes going in their zone.

Last night, everything was clicking.

Those were two huge power-play goals for us there. They really turned around the game in our favour.”

Bruising forward Andrew Shaw is expected to be available to the Blackhawks for Game 3 after missing Wednesday’s game with a lower-body injury, his seventh straight game out of the lineup.

The Kings aren’t likely to see defenceman Robyn Regehr, whose knee injury has kept him out for eight games.

Canadian-born players and coach key to Belarusian success at worlds MINSK, Belarus — Three-thousand kilometres from where he grew up in Toronto, Geoff Platt couldn’t have felt more at home.

Moments after scoring and setting off another wild celebration at Minsk arena, Platt leapt into the arms of Belarusian captain Alexei Kalyuzhny.

Not long after, fans were chanting his name.

“It’s an emotion that I’m not sure I’ve achieved ever in my career, just because of the atmosphere and the electricity in the building,” Platt said.

“It just runs through your veins and grabs a hold of you.”

Along with goaltender Kevin Lalande, Platt is one of two Canadianborn players representing host Belarus at the world hockey championship and playing major roles in what might be the best international showing in the country’s history. Led by Canadianborn coach Glen Hanlon, Belarus is in the quarter-finals for just the third time and the first since 2009.

This is the biggest event Belarus has ever hosted, so Minsk has been partying for two weeks. And this team is giving locals another reason to celebrate.

“You have to understand the magnitude (of) what this means to them,” Hanlon said. “It’s bigger than just a game. This is their chance to show everybody.”

By show everybody, Hanlon means the city, which is decked out in IIHF signs welcoming the world and reminding them in the form of giant bison mascots that hockey is happening here.

Inside the 15,000-seat Minsk Arena, home of the KHL’s Dynamo Minsk, good hockey has been happening for Belarus. Lalande, a native of Ottawa who plays for Dynamo and gained citi-

zenship, has been stellar and Platt has added timely offence.

But the Canadian imports want the credit to go to leading scorers Mikhail Grabovski and Sergei Kostitsyn.

“Players are playing for this symbol, and it means a lot more to them to represent their country than probably a National Hockey League team or any club team around the world,” Platt said, pointing to the Belarusian coat of arms on his chest. “You’re seeing that with Sergei Kostitsyn, Mikhail Grabovski just really taking their game to a level I’m sure they’ve almost never played at.”

Grabovski beamed with pride when talking about what this tournament means to him. He’s showing that to Hanlon, who first coached him as a 21-year-old at the world championships in Vienna in 2005.

The Grabovski at this tournament is an other-worldly player.

“I don’t even look at Mikhail anymore because I know he’s going to play great,” Hanlon said. “I never get tired of saying, ’Good game, Mikhail.”’

Hanlon is limited in what he can say to some of his players because of the language barrier. He understands Russian and Belarusian and is trying to learn to speak both languages, even though he doesn’t have to.

The former Washington Capitals coach and longtime NHL goaltender, who’s in his second stint as coach of the Belarusian national team, has someone with him at almost all times who speaks English. At his news conferences with local media, the Brandon, Man., native answers in English, occasionally splicing in Belarusian words and pausing to let the interpreter next to him do his work.

“I’ve taken lessons, I’ve done all of it,” Hanlon said. “I have a better handle on it. I’ve gone home here after

STORIES FROM PAGE B1

HABS: String of saves Tokarski stopped 27 of 30 shots in Game 2 — his 11th NHL game and first playoff outing. And he was busy from the get-go Thursday, keeping the Habs in it with a string of saves.

His play may not have been pretty but it was effective. Tokarski gave up rebounds but his defence cleaned them up. And he grew in confidence as the game wore on.

There was less action at the other end although Lundqvist’s night was challenging at times.

Coming into Game 3, Lundqvist had saved 162 of 168 shots during the Rangers’ five-game playoff win streak. And he stopped 60 of the 63 shots he faced in the first two games in Montreal, won 7-2 and 3-1 by the Rangers.

Montreal coach Therrien shuffled his lines, moving winger Brian Gionta up to the second line, Weise to the third and dropping the mercurial Vanek to the fourth. Vanek came into the game with no points, one shot, two penalty minutes and a minus-3 in the first two games of the series.

The Rangers outshot Montreal 14-4 in the first period, firing pucks from all angles and using their speed to good effect. The Canadiens were lucky not to be down by more when the dust settled, with Tokarski getting the job done one way or another.

New York’s early onslaught came despite winning just seven of 22 faceoffs in the period.

Max Pacioretty tested Lundqvist with the Canadiens’ first shot in the first minute, coming out from the corner and shooting from in-close. It took Montreal almost 11 minutes to get a second shot on target.

The missed Prust hit on Stepan led to some frontier justice with Prust and Derek Dorsett fighting after Daniel Carcillo took a run at the feisty Hab at 5:51. Carcillo had to be held back as the fight went on, prompting a game misconduct for jostling linesman Scott Driscoll.

The league looks poorly on such behaviour and Carcillo could face further sanctions.

Sweden forward Dick Axelsson attempts to score past Belarus goaltender Kevin Lalande during a quarterfinal match between Sweden and Belarus at the Ice Hockey World Championship in Minsk, Belarus, May 22, 2014. Lalande is just one of the Canadian-born players and coach to help the host team reach the quarterfinals at the world hockey championship for just the third time and the first since 2009. every friendly tournament, so I take all my books, put them in my backpack like the college student on spring break and I end up dealing with my 12-year-old son and my wife and I sort of break away from it for a couple weeks.”

Hanlon’s wife and son still live in Vancouver, and because she’s a teacher and he’s a skier and hockey player they don’t accompany him to Europe.

“He’d rather play his own hockey than watch me coach,” Hanlon said.

Everyone in Belarus is watching Hanlon coach with keen interest. In Minsk, televisions all over the city have tournament games on, whether Belarus is playing or not.

Inside Minsk Arena, one section is full of fans jumping up and down and doing chants normally reserved for soccer matches. Others whistle and fill the building with the kind of noise

“Well, he can’t do that, obviously, what he did there, but we’ll let the league handle that,” said Vigneault. “I believe if a penalty would have been called on Prust, it probably wouldn’t have happened, but there is nothing we can do about it.”

WORLDS: Breakdowns Making it more difficult to accept was that this squad of NHL third-liners and potential stars of the future bounced back perfectly from an opening shootout loss to France. Six straight victories followed.

The Finland game easily could have been one, too.

“We still had our shifts in their end, our chances,” captain Kevin Bieksa said. “We had a couple breakdowns. We knew going into this game that the Finns were a team that would sit back and capitalize on our mistakes, and they made us pay tonight.”

Tippett addressed his players after the loss but couldn’t offer much in the way of an uplifting sentiment.

“It’s a tough situation for everybody,” Tippett said. “It’s not the result you want. We came here to win, we didn’t come here to lose in the quarterfinals. There’s not much to say. We didn’t accomplish what we wanted to accomplish.”

All because of a few bad breaks. Finland’s first goal 6:06 in, which came on the power play with Myers in the box for roughing, happened after an attempted point shot deflected off penalty-killer Joel Ward’s stick and right to Olli Palola for his third of the tournament.

That didn’t deflate Canada, which kept putting pucks on Rinne, who finished with 36 saves on 38 shots. The attempts came from everywhere and almost everyone, as 17 of 20 skaters had at least one on net.

“I thought we played some really good hockey throughout the whole game,” Myers said. “I think we were right there. It was our game to lose. It’s never a good feeling to have it happen like that.”

One problem was going 0-for-5 on the power play.

Had Canada buried a couple of those chances, like Brayden Schenn’s shot very early that hit the crossbar, it would have been a very different game.

Lalande and Platt have no comparison for and Hanlon can only relate to the old Chicago Stadium.

“When you go into somewhere like Bell Centre or Madison Square Garden, it’s pretty loud but it dies off after a while,” Hanlon said. “Here it’s sustained for the whole 2 ½ hours of the game. I’m not kidding: You can’t hear a word down there. I’m screaming and I’m yelling at my players who’s up and everything.

“From before the game starts till after it’s over, it’s like a festival.”

It’s a festival that’s special to the Belarusian players, whether they’re from Novopolotsk in the north like Dmitry Korobov, or Ontario like Lalande and Platt.

How they got here wasn’t a matter of having Belarusian ancestry. Anyone who plays for Dynamo Minsk for two seasons is eligible for citizenship.

Canada’s players and Tippett were quick to credit the Finns, who played their brand of hockey well and pounced on mistakes.

“We worked extremely hard (for) 60 minutes,” Hietanen said. “We knew that we were going to get our chances and now we scored a couple goals.”

Finland coach Erkka Westerlund was proud of how his team responded and came back from the 2-1 deficit.

“In (the) third period we showed the mental strength,” Westerlund said. “We call it in Finland ’sisu.”’

CUP: Quick start The Oil Kings intend to outwork Bibeau this time.

“We can take confidence from our quick start,” said assistant captain Curtis Lazar. “We were up on them early. We really pressure them and found success especially below the goal-line. We’ve got to solve their goalie. That’s going to be a big storyline.

“We’ve worked hard to get to this point. We’ve got to enjoy it, but we’ve got to capture this moment as well.”

Lazar and Reinhart are among half a dozen Oil Kings veterans who lost in the Memorial Cup tiebreaker two years ago to host and eventual champion Shawinigan.

The QMJHL has won three straight Memorial Cups. The Spokane Chiefs were the last Western Hockey League team to claim it in 2008.

Dustin Johnson solid in Hogan’s Alley SHOOTS 65 TO TAKE ONE-STROKE LEAD AFTER FIRST ROUND AT COLONIAL

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS FORT WORTH, Texas — Dustin Johnson had played Colonial only once before, six years ago when he didn’t even make it to the final round.

In his return to Hogan’s Alley, Johnson took a one-stroke lead after the first round.

Johnson shot a bogey-free 5-under 65 on Thursday, driving a lot of 3-irons off the tees into the fairways and hitting 16 of 18 greens in regulation. “I’ve got to keep doing what I’m doing,� Johnson said. “I’ve got a pretty good game plan for the golf course off the tee. So I’m going to stick to that, just trying to keep getting birdie looks on every hole.�

His only birdie on the back nine was a 2-footer at the 177-yard 16th hole.

That was enough to lead after his frontside 31 that included a 45-foot birdie putt on the difficult par-4 fifth hole.

Hunter Mahan, playing in the group ahead of Johnson, led before a doublebogey 6 at the 433-yard 18th hole for a 66. He was tied for second with Harris English, Tim Wilkinson and Robert Streb.

Jimmy Walker, a three-time winner this season, and 20-year-old Dallas native Jordan Spieth were in the group of 10 players at 67.

Mahan started eagle-birdie and was already 6 under after a 3-foot birdie on the 178-yard eighth hole. He had two bogeys and two more birdies before his drive at the 18th hole into the right rough, with trees blocking a clear shot to the green. After punching the ball back into the fairway, his approach came settled on the edge of the fringe and he eventually two-putted from 7 feet. “You have to get over it,� Mahan said about the disappointing 18th. “It’s all about the drive there.�

Adam Scott, playing as the No. 1 player in the world for the first time, shot 71 after playing his first nine holes at 4-over 39.

Scott had bogey-6 on the straight 631-yard 11th hole, his second of the day, when he hit twice from fairway bunkers. After a two-putt from 11 feet at the 433-yard 18th hole, Scott was

bogey-free the rest of the way, with consecutive short birdies after making the turn. “I thought I actually hit plenty of good shots,� Scott said. “All of a sudden, I had the momentum going the way I wanted and managed to hang on for the next few holes.�

The Australian said he felt the same as he did before this week when he overtook injured Tiger Woods for the top spot in the world ranking. “There’s not a big difference,� Scott said. “It’s always the first tee nerves of starting a tournament out, but I certainly didn’t feel that much different.�

Johnson’s 65 was the highest score to lead after the first round at Hogan’s Alley since another 65 in 2002. There were opening 62s in two of the previous three Colonials.

When he first played at Colonial in 2008, Johnson made the initial cut. But after a 72 in the third round, he was among six more players trimmed to reduce the field to 73 for the final day.

Walker, the FedEx Cup points leader, also played a bogey-free round with a tremendous par-saver at the 470-yard fifth hole after hitting his drive left into the rough under trees. With the ball on a hill several inches below his feet, he hit an off-balance shot to the left of the green. He then chipped up over the bunker, and the ball rolled to inside 4 feet of the cup. “I kind of had a shot, and I went for it,’ he said. �I had a big high cut over the trees, and didn’t hit a very good shot, but it came up just short of the green, and made a great up and down there.“ Matt Kuchar, ranked No. 4 in the world and with a chance to move to the top with a victory, had birdies at Nos. 11 and 12 early in his round. He then had five bogeys before finally getting his only other birdie on his 16th hole, an 11-foot putt on the 437-yard seventh hole, in a 72. That matched his highest score in his 29 career rounds at Colonial, where he finished second last year.

Rickie Fowler, who stars in a series of funny commercials for tournament sponsor Crowne Plaza, played with flulike symptoms and had two triple bogeys in an 80, the worst score in the 123-player invitational field.

Bjorn shoots course record to lead by two at BMW PGA Championship

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS VIRGINIA WATER, England — Thomas Bjorn set a course record at Wentworth with a 10-under-par 62 on the opening day of the BMW PGA Championship on Thursday.

Bjorn grabbed an eagle and eight birdies to end his round two shots clear of Shane Lowry of Ireland, who shot 64 on the West Course.

However, poor weather forced two separate delays totalling nearly two hours in the European Tour’s flagship event, and darkness halted play with 33 in the 150-man field yet to complete their first round.

It is the third occasion in Bjorn’s 21-year European Tour career he’s shot a round of 62, and the Dane rated it the best in his 434 tournaments. “Absolutely,� he said. “You can’t ask for much more.�

Bjorn is contesting his 17th BMW PGA, with his best finish being a share of fifth in 1988, and comes after he missed the cut in the Spanish Open last week with 75-78.

TENNIS

Bouchard beats Shvedova to reach semifinals at Nuremberg Cup NUREMBERG, Germany — Canada’s Eugenie Bouchard defeated Yaroslava Shvedova of Kazakhstan 7-6 (3), 7-6 (6) to reach the Nuremberg Cup semifinals on Thursday.

Bouchard, the second seed from Westmount, Que., needed over two hours to complete the victory. She will make her third semifinal appearance of the season on Friday against Karin Knapp of Italy.

Also Thursday, Karolina Pliskova of the Czech Republic upset top-seeded Angelique Kerber of Germany 7-6 (5), 6-4. Kerber, the world No. 9, won 16 of

“Last week was awful, and I was starting to feel a bit frustrated with things, and to be honest in practice, it hasn’t been great, either,� he said. “So ... today is a little bit surprising. “I haven’t had the best record here.

I haven’t had the best round here.

It’s been a long time since I’ve actually had any sort of result on this golf course. It’s not a place when I come in here, I think, ’Oh, this is going to be a great week.’ I guess I’ve got to start sticking my head down for the rest of the week.�

Lowry produced his best round since a Carnoustie course-record 64 last October in the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship.

He made only 25 putts with an old putter he found in his Dublin apartment. “I have been messing about here and there with putters, and pulled this one out, got the cobwebs off it,� he said.

Rafa Cabrera-Bello of Spain was alone in third place with a 65, and Gary Stal of France made the most of his last minute call-up by shooting a 66. the first 17 points and squandered a 4-0 lead to lose the first set.

Pliskova held her serve twice in the second, Kerber only once, and that decided the match. The victory gave the 64th-ranked Pliskova her first win over a top-10 player.

Fourth-seeded Elina Svitolina of Ukraine beat Mona Barthel of France 6-4, 6-4 while Knapp outlasted seventhseeded Caroline Garcia of France 6-7 (9), 6-4, 6-4 to reach her first semifinal in 10 months.

Bouchard reached the final four at the Australian Open and the Family Circle Cup in Charleston earlier this year.

The 20-year-old Canadian will be looking to advance to the second WTA final of her career. She reached a final last year in Osaka, Japan but lost to Samantha Stosur.

LPGA

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MOBILE, Ala. — Catriona Matthew took the first-round lead Thursday in the Airbus LPGA Classic, holing a bunker shot for an eagle and finishing with an 8-under 64.

The 44-year-old Scot rebounded from a bogey on the par-4 12th — her third hole in the morning round — with the eagle on the par-5 13th and birdied seven of her final 11 holes. “That kind of kick-started my round,� Matthew said about the eagle.

She won the last of her four LPGA Tour titles in 2011. “Obviously, really pleased,� Mat-

thew said. “Just had two weeks at home, so never quite know what you’re going to come out and play like. So, yeah, delighted. Got the putter going and holed some putts.�

Charley Hull had a bogey-free 65 in the afternoon. The 18-year-old English player birdied the final two holes on the Crossings Course at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail’s Magnolia Grove complex. “I putted quite well, hit it quite solid, and hit, I think, every green,� said Hull, playing on a sponsor exemption. “I still left a few shots out there.

I missed a 3- or 4-footer, but hey, another day tomorrow and hopefully I can go low.�

Second-ranked Stacy Lewis, No. 4 Suzann Pettersen and South Korea’s Eun-Hee Ji shot 66.

Details unveiled about new home for Roughriders field in 1910 and is known for its old wooden-bench seating and exposure to wind that will knock your socks off.

“Once we get into this stadium, people are going to say ’I love it,”’ predicted Rider president and CEO Jim Hopson.

“I love the fact that it is outdoors still, but we’re getting some protection from the wind, from the driving rain and so on.

“Wind is a huge factor here in terms of comfort and the design reflects that.”

Rider board chairman Roger Branvold agreed the $278-million stadium will make for a better game-day experience for fans.

The stadium will be located on the grounds of Evraz Place, an arena and convention centre complex northwest of downtown. Construction is to begin in June with a completion target of August 2016.

Mark Williams of HKS Sports and Entertainment, a U.S.-based architectural firm that designed the stadium, said it will be one of the jewels in his company’s portfolio.

“We have opened the last three very

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS REGINA — The Canadian Football League’s Saskatchewan Roughriders are getting a new stadium that is being described as iconic and bold.

The team, the city of Regina and the province on Thursday unveiled the design for a 33,000-seat facility that can be expanded to hold 40,000 fans for special events.

The stadium is to have wider seats, a sunken bowl for easier spectator access and expansive concourses.

Although it is open-air, it features a translucent spectators roof that extends over the seats to provide protection from the elements.

Snow loads and sun angles were considered in determining the shape and extent of the overhang. It provides coverage for half the spectators and some protection across all permanent seating.

The venue is being described as “roof ready,” meaning a full roof could be added at a later date.

The current stadium near downtown Regina originally started as a rugby

Regina mayor Michael Fougere smiles during a public announcement about the Stadium Project in Regina, Saskatchewan on Thursday. successful stadiums in the NFL and I will put this design pound for pound with anything that we have done in the past,” he said.

Regina Mayor Michael Fougere suggested the new stadium is just the beginning of a revitalized city.

“We are at the leading edge of growth, not just for Saskatchewan, but for the whole country,” he said. “This is such a dynamic time to be in Regina. We’re going to see so much more

investment and job opportunities and things happening.

“This is a beginning of a new way of investment and development.”

The current stadium will eventually be decommissioned and a 700-unit housing development built, the mayor said.

The team also announced that its future home will continue to carry the name Mosaic Stadium when it hosts its first CFL game in June 2017.

Nadal favorite at French Open despite parity this season red surface, including Djokovic’s victory over Nadal in the Rome final last weekend.

That gave Nadal three clay losses in a season for the first time since 2004, when he was all of 17 and yet to make his French Open debut.

“It’s more normal this year than the last 10 years have been because the last years have been strange and we’ve gotten used to having these great finals between the No. 1 and No. 2 players in the world and one player dominating the whole year — and we started to think that’s normal. Really, that’s the exception,” said Mats Wilander, who won the French Open three times in the 1980s.

“Heading into the French Open, it’s more exciting. The regular tour probably benefits from having one superstar that’s cleaning up everything, or maybe a rivalry,” Wilander added.

“But the French Open and the other Slams benefit from having no clear-cut favourite. That’s the way it used to be,

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PARIS — For once, not everything seems so obvious heading into the French Open.

Yes, Rafael Nadal will still be favoured by most to win the clay-court Grand Slam tournament yet again. He is, after all, 59-1 for his career at Roland Garros, winner of a record eight championships, including the last four.

Still, if the 2014 tennis season to date is any indication, there could be some surprises in store when play begins in Paris on Sunday. So far, there already was one new major champion, Stanislas Wawrinka at the Australian Open. And there has been a rather egalitarian feel to the spring clay circuit, with nine winners at nine tournaments.

The three top men in the ATP rankings — No. 1 Nadal, No. 2 Novak Djokovic and No. 3 Wawrinka — each claimed a Masters title on the slow

and I think it’s better. I don’t think we want to go there and ask ourselves: Is Nadal going to win a ninth time? That just doesn’t excite me at all. It’s much more exciting to think that Djokovic is the favourite or that (Roger) Federer has a chance.”

Not surprisingly, Nadal does not exactly agree.

He’ll be seeded No. 1 for only the third time at Roland Garros — one of those years, 2009, was when his lone loss came, against Robin Soderling in the fourth round — but he could relinquish the top ranking to Djokovic over the course of the 15-day tournament.

Asked about the idea of this year’s French Open being a little less predictable, Nadal replied: “I don’t care. I don’t know. I think about myself. What I have to do.”

In addition to dropping a fourth consecutive head-to-head match against Djokovic, Nadal’s defeat at the Italian Open followed a series of difficult three-setters in Rome, as well as losses

in the — gasp! — quarterfinals of Monte Carlo and Barcelona.

His 41-match winning streak at Barcelona ended against Nicolas Almagro, who had been 0-10 against Nadal.

That came after being beaten at Monte Carlo by David Ferrer, whom Nadal easily beat in last year’s French Open final and hadn’t lost to anywhere on clay in a decade.

Then again, as Wilander points out, these earlier-than-usual exits mean Nadal arrives in Paris with less wear and tear. Plus those losses were all in best-of-three-set matches, while the French Open is best-of-five. And Nadal did earn the title at the Madrid Open, so he knows he’s not completely out of sorts.

“There’s all this scar tissue he can reason with and say, ’Hold on, I won Madrid, this is the French Open, I’m fresher than ever.’ He’s going to put a little less pressure on himself but still go in with a sense of confidence knowing it’s five sets,” Wilander said.

Dixon flying under radar at Indy 500

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

the team to himself, but he doesn’t view it that way — he maintains it’s always been owner Chip Ganassi’s team — and the laid-back New Zealander isn’t seeking any fame.

It’s a shame, because he’s earned the attention.

“He’s achieved so much, he’s one of the most successful of all time, but a lot of people don’t know that,” said reigning Indianapolis 500 winner Tony Kanaan, a fan favourite and Franchitti’s replacement this year in the Ganassi organization. “He just does his job. Is he more famous than me? Not really.

But we’re not talking about that. It’s not what his goal is.

He’s doing exactly what he wants to do.”

Dixon excels at striving for more and putting in the work toward continuing to improve his race craft.

“He doesn’t stop learning.

He doesn’t allow what he’s just done to be the high point in his life, in his career. He only uses that as a springboard for the next day,” said Mike Hull, Ganassi’s managing director and the strategist atop Dixon’s pit stand.

“We just do not stop learning together, and he represents us. I wish we could clone him, to be honest about it, moving forward because he’s the kind of person you need driving your race cars.”

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CONCORD, N.C. — Jimmie Johnson knows the panic to make Sprint Cup’s championship chase is coming.

The defending Sprint Cup champion is among those drivers yet to win a race this season, the first since NASCAR expanded its 10-race playoffs to 16 cars and put a bitter emphasis on wins over point standings.

Nine drivers have won the first 11 races, with Kevin Harvick and Joey Logano the two-time winners. And each new winner has gleefully talked of locking up a spot to race for a title.

For Johnson, it’s far too early to fret about lost opportunities.

Not with the Coca-Cola 600, NASCAR’s longest race, coming up Sunday night at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

“There are always different challenges in this sport and I know we’ll get it,” Johnson said Thursday.

In Johnson’s eyes, the window to make the championship has widened with the increase from 12 to 16 teams “and I really don’t think there’s going to be 16 different winners.”

The Sprint Cup series opened with seven different winners this season. Harvick ended that streak with a second victory this year at Darlington and Logano followed that with win No. 2 at Richmond.

But then Denny Hamlin and Jeff Gordon added their names

to the already lengthy NASCAR playoff list with victories at Talladega and Kansas.

With just 15 races left, regular Sprint Cup winners like Matt Kenseth, Greg Biffle and Tony Stewart join Johnson on the winless list.

It’s no fun for Clint Bowyer to see his team outside looking in at the moment.

Bowyer has made the chase in five of the past seven seasons, finishing a career-best second in points two years ago.

“The first half certainly isn’t where we’re accustomed to running and hasn’t been as smooth as we need it to be,” said Bowyer, who is 20th in points. “The flip side to that is we’re only halfway and we’ve got a long ways to go with a lot of racing.”

And those winners this season aren’t slowing down, either.

Harvick, in his first season with Stewart-Haas Racing, has relished racing up front and challenging for the checkered flag most weeks. He’s had an 11th place, a seventh and a runner-up to Gordon in his past three outings since taking the Southern 500 last month. Still, he’s 10th in the points standings because of four finishes of 36th or worse this season.

“Sometimes I think our problems are sticking out a little bit more than they would in a normal situation just for the fact you are racing for a win, you are not racing for 10th,” said Harvick, who won the Coca-Cola 600 in 2011 and 2013.

INDIANAPOLIS — While his team struggled with setup and speed, Scott Dixon has flown under the radar during preparations for the Indianapolis 500.

It’s exactly how he wants it. It’s how he has tried to be his entire career.

“I like to live simply,” Dixon said.

As such, one of the most decorated drivers of the last decade goes grossly underappreciated for his accomplishments. He’s the Jimmie Johnson of IndyCar, the driver tearing through the record books with his eye on the top names in series history.

Dixon’s 33 career victories rank seventh all-time, and three more wins would leapfrog him past Al Unser Jr. and Bobby Unser into fourth place. The only drivers who rank higher than Dixon in victories right now have the last name Andretti, Foyt and Unser.

Since joining Chip Ganassi Racing in 2002 while the team still raced in the nowdefunct CHAMP Car Series, Dixon has won at least one race in every season except two. He has an Indianapolis 500 win on his resume, and his three IndyCar championships — spread out in 2003, 2008 and 2013 — show a consistency and longevity that’s

hard to match.

At just 33 years old, he conceivably has almost another decade of racing ahead of him.

But he’s worked in the shadow of some huge personalities and some of openwheel racing’s biggest stars.

When Dario Franchitti joined the Ganassi organization in 2009, Dixon watched his famous teammate reel off three consecutive championships and two Indy 500 wins.

In that same span, Dixon finished second in the championship once, third three times, and finished second to Franchitti in the 2012 Indy 500.

Living in Franchitti’s shadow never bothered him.

“I preferred that, actually,” said Dixon, who will start Sunday’s Indy 500 in 11th, in the fourth row.

“When I come out of the truck and everyone is standing around waiting, they all chased after Dario and I could just get on the scooter and ride off and get to work.

I’ve never had any problem not having the spotlight on me.”

Franchitti is on the sidelines now, forced into retirement last November from injuries suffered in a crash at Houston a month earlier.

The imposing 1-2 attack of the two red Target cars has been broken up.

It means Dixon finally has

TAYLOR DRIVE CONSTRUCTION BEGINS SATURDAY AND DRIVERS WILL SEE SIGNIFICANT ROAD CLOSURES NEAR DOWNTOWN

BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF A $20-million road project that is expected to affect traffic like never before in Red Deer officially gets underway on Saturday.

The two-year Taylor Drive improvement project — between 43rd Street and Taylor Drive Bridge — is designed to address traffic flow, make the area more pedestrianfriendly and improve the roadways for connections between Railyards, Riverlands and the Historic Downtown.

The major roadwork will happen this summer and the finishing touches will wrap up the project in 2015.

Starting at 8 a.m. on Saturday, motorists will no longer be able to access the downtown from Taylor Drive via 49th Street and

will be detoured to 45th Street and 43rd Street. Several significant road closures along Taylor Drive will also be in effect.

Tara Shand, communications team lead, said the city recognizes Taylor Drive is a major roadway for commuting across the city and closing sections of it will have a major impact on motorists. She said commuters are encouraged to take the temporary bypass road or use alternative routes.

The closures are expected to last until September, depending on weather.

Traffic on Taylor Drive will be rerouted to a temporary bypass road accessed by either 45th Street or 43rd Street. The bypass road is along the east side of Taylor Drive from Kerry Wood Drive to 45th Street.

The busy Taylor Drive and 54th Avenue intersection, near the Real Canadian Superstore, will be closed.

Victim of long weekend crash loved the outdoors

One lane of traffic will be open from the downtown onto Taylor Drive Bridge to allow motorists to continue driving north.

Charity Dyke, Riverlands project manager, said this work is a critical piece in improving the access for all types of movement, whether it be on foot or in a car into Riverlands. As part of the project, a new pedestrian crossing from Alexander Way (48th Street) will extend into Riverlands.

This will be completed in 2015.

In June, the old civic buildings in Riverlands will be demolished as part of the redevelopment of the area.

Dyke said once the berm and buildings come down, people will get a clearer look at the importance of the connection to the river.

UP CLOSE

BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF Family are mourning the loss of a young Red Deer man after a tragic crash cut his life short at the start of the May long weekend.

Andre van der Berg was killed in a motorcycle crash east of Red Deer on May 16.

Born in South Africa, the 23-year-old emigrated with his family to Canada about 16 years ago.

First landing in Newfoundland, they came to Red Deer 10 years ago.

Andre became a Canadian citizen two years ago.

His father, a doctor of internal medicine at Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre, Dirk van der Berg spoke fondly of his son.

“He was a wonderful son,” said Dirk. “He was born in South Africa but he got his meaning here in Canada.”

Andre worked for Topco Oilsite products as a technician but his passion was the outdoors.

Involved in every sport imaginable, snowboarding was his favourite.

“He loved the outdoors, if you look at him smiling he’s always outdoors,” said Dirk.

“He was a very jovial guy but very simple on the other hand. He wasn’t extravagant.”

Dirk said his son was well-liked by his wide circle of friends.

The news of Andre’s death was a “numbing shock” for the family.

“There are no words to describe it,” said Dirk.

“It is terrible.

“But we believe God in his wisdom knows the best. He obviously has his ways of doing things and we take comfort in that.”

Dirk described his son’s character as very sharing and he said that he was extremely fond of animals.

Sylvan Lake urgent care committee making strides towards Family Care Centre

BY RENÉE FRANCOEUR ADVOCATE STAFF The Sylvan Lake and Area Urgent Care Committee is continuing to plug away at making a local Family Care Centre a reality.

“The province sets some very clear processes that we need to follow,” said Susan Samson, chair of the committee. “The next step is we have to form a non-profit corporation because we will be applying for grant funding and we need to be accountable for it.”

The group is working with JLT

Management Consulting as well as a lawyer to make this happen.

“Then like everything else, it will go over to registries and we will wait,” Samson said. “All these steps are important . . . . The hard thing is there is nothing concrete in the interim.”

Sylvan Lake Mayor Sean McIntyre said that he is confident the province will find ways to make a Family Care Centre (FCC) work for the town, referencing a recent meeting with the acting assistant deputy minister, Dr. Alan Casson, and a personal phone conversation with Health Minister Fred

Horne.

The provincial government announced earlier this month $45 million in funding to push through nine FCCs, including one in Sylvan Lake.

FCCs, a controversial part of former premier Alison Redford’s 2012 election platform, are based in a single location and provide medical services specially tailored to its community.

Three FCCs that began as pilot projects are in operation in Calgary, Edmonton and Slave Lake.

Red Deer man facing charges after being accused of striking police officer with truck while on day parole

BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF A Red Deer man was on statutory release, having served twothirds of his sentence, when the truck he was allegedly driving struck a Regina police officer last week.

However, the Parole Board of Canada had imposed the same strict conditions on his statutory release as his day parole to manage the risk when he was serving his sentence in the community.

Jason John Dunlop, 33, of Red

Deer has been serving a two-year sentence for numerous convictions of theft under $5,000, failing to appear, failing to comply with court orders, obstructing peace officer, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, possession of property obtained by crime, improper firearm storage and flight from police. He was sentenced on September 2012 after pleading guilty.

He is suspected to have been the driver of a Ford F-350 that struck a Regina police officer on May 14. At the time, he was serving his sentence in a Red Deerarea facility.

Dunlop is wanted on a Canadawide warrant for being unlawfully at large.

He was granted day parole on Sept. 26, 2013, and moved to a community correction centre/community residential facility. His day parole had strict conditions, including not to consume drugs or alcohol, to report all relationships with females and to avoid people known to or believed to have involvement in criminal activity.

His statutory release date was on Jan. 12 of this year.

BRIEFS Samson Cree Nation school receives grant for fashion studio A school on the Samson Cree Nation will be able to develop a fashion studio for students to create traditional dance attire thanks to a grant from Skills Canada Alberta.

Funded by TransCanada, four $10,000 grants are given to Alberta schools for the purchase of equipment or upgrading of trade and technology labs. The Nipisihkopahk Secondary School in Maskwacis received one of the grants.

The money will enable the school to create a modern fashion studio where traditional native dance regalia can be made. According to a release, students will work with community members in the studio “to develop a deeper understanding of First Nations culture and enhance their craftsmanship and entrepreneurial skills.”

Court proceedings for accused murderer put over for a month Court proceedings against a young man accused of committing a gangstyle murder have been put over for another month.

CLOSURES: Will mean improved connections The closures are needed so crews can install necessary underground services, do road paving and begin realigning the existing Taylor Drive and Ross Street intersection into a simpler three-legged intersection. Next year’s phase will include improving the sidewalks, landscaping and any finishing touches.

The new system will mean improved connections for motorists coming to and from the Riverlands, Railyards and historic downtown districts.

Additional pedestrian connections allowing for movement on both sides of the road and access to Riverlands are part of the project. Within the current Taylor Drive/Ross Street intersection, pedestrians must backtrack to the Taylor Drive bridge and there is limited connection to Riverlands.

Traffic changes/closures until September: z Northbound traffic will be detoured north of 45th Street onto the existing southbound Taylor Drive lanes and then onto the bypass road.

The newly constructed temporary road from 45th Street to the Taylor bridge will have one lane for north and southbound traffic. z Southbound traffic will be detoured east of the bridge onto the bypass road. z One lane of westbound traffic will be maintained on Ross Street to access Taylor Drive northbound across the bridge. z Access to 49th Street will be closed from Taylor Drive. Motorists are encouraged to use the 45th Street or 43rd Street to access downtown z At the Ross Street/52nd Avenue intersection, traffic will be detoured onto 52nd Street to access Taylor Drive southbound. z 50th Street will be reduced to one lane north/southbound with no access to Taylor Drive z 48th Street will have no access to Taylor Drive z 54th Avenue will be closed at Taylor Drive. Motorists are asked to use 52nd Avenue.

CHARGES: Special conditions

SON: Do anything to help anybody “He would do anything to help anybody else that he could,” said Dirk.

“He was so willing to help, he would put himself at risk to help others.”

Andre was killed just before 10 p.m. on the Friday of the May long weekend. Blackfalds RCMP said he was southbound on Range Road 270 between Hwys 11 and 595 when he lost control, went off the road and was ejected from his motorcycle.

Police said he suffered major internal injuries and head trauma. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

A memorial service will be held at First Christian Reformed Church, 16 McVicar St. on Monday. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com

CARE: Funding “The important thing for us is the FCC model is the same thing we have always been asking for when we’ve talked about urgent care and that is: medical services for non-life threatening injuries available seven days a week for extended hours, lab and X-ray on site and the ability to have observation beds for short term, like three-to-four-hour treatments,” Samson said.

The grant funding, secured once there is a non-profit corporation established, will go towards drawing up an FCC business plan, which will clearly identify a site, the operating cost and the services that will be offered, as well as the cost of those individual services.

That part of the process will take a “considerable” amount of time, said Samson as it will be done in consultation with the Town of Sylvan Lake and outlying communities, including Eckville, Bentley, Benalto and the surrounding Red Deer and Lacombe counties.

Samson said she expected the business plan to be done sometime in 2014.

“That will move us onto the next step where the province will say, ‘Yes I like what you’re proposing, yes we can do this, let’s roll.’ So in a perfect world we’ll be at that stage at the end of this year.” rfrancoeur@reddeeradvocate.com

Most federal inmates are automatically released after serving two-thirds of their sentence. The parole board chose to impose special conditions on the statutory release to manage the risk as he served his sentence in the community.

“Your criminal record indicates a history of non-compliance and reoffending while under conditional release,” reads the parole board decision. “With this history it is likely you will experience some significant challenges while you continue to serve the remainder of your sentence in the community.”

Statutory release was granted, but the same conditions as his day parole were imposed.

According to the parole board decision, his 2012 conviction relates to a June 7, 2012, incident. Dunlop was found sleeping in a vehicle when police awoke him.

Stettler RCMP asked for identification and Dunlop fled, taking police on a high-speed chase through rural Central Alberta at speeds ranging from 150 to 170 km/h. He continued driving even after running over a spike belt. Four hours after the chase started, Dunlop fled the vehicle near Three Hills. He was pursued by RCMP, police dog services and a helicopter.

The vehicle, a Ford F-350, was stolen, as were a number of items found in the vehicle, including copper wire and an improperly stored firearm.

Dunlop is described as Caucasian, medium build, about 1.78 metres (five foot eight) tall and weighs 90.5 kg (about 200 pounds). He has green eyes and short, cropped brown hair. He was last seen driving a white Ford F-350 super-crew long box with Alberta licence plate BJK 4423. There is damage to the passenger side front bumper and on the driver’s side from the driver’s door to the rear of the vehicle.

Anyone who sees Dunlop is advised not to have contact with him, but to contact their local police detachment or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.

RCMP allege that Sarson had been shot dead and that there was a gang connection involved.

An 18-year-old suspect was arrested in Vancouver on March 13, along with another suspect wanted for murder in Winnipeg.

Although the Red Deer suspect is now an adult, he cannot be named because he was 17 at the time of Sarson’s death and his identity is therefore protected under the provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act. Crown prosecutor Robin Snider said during the accused man’s first court appearance that, if he is convicted of the crime, she will apply to have him sentenced as an adult.

The young man remains in custody at the Calgary Young Offenders Centre and was scheduled for a bail hearing in Red Deer youth court on Thursday.

However, the hearing was adjourned to June 19 at the request of his lawyer, Karen Molle of Calgary.

Housing starts expected to jump in Red Deer: CMHC

FRESH AS A DAISY

BY HARLEY RICHARDS ADVOCATE BUSINESS EDITOR Alberta and British Columbia stand in sharp contrast to the rest of the country in Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp.’s latest housing market outlook.

The national housing agency is projecting a decline in housing starts across most of Canada this year, and for residential construction in 2015 to be flat.

An exception is Alberta, where CMHC anticipates a nearly four per cent increase in building activity this year, followed by a slight dip in 2015.

In Red Deer, housing starts are expected to jump 9.1 per cent to 855, up from the 2013 tally of 784. Single-detached houses will account for 415 of the 2014 total, said CMHC, with units in multi-family projects adding 440.

The 2014 projections for Red Deer have been boosted since CMHC’s previous housing market outlook, issued in February. The increased optimism appears justified by building activity in the city during the first quarter of 2014, with housing starts spiking nearly 21 per cent as compared with the same three-month period of 2013.

For 2015, CMHC said residential starts in the city should gain another 2.9 per cent, bringing the number to 880.

Expectations are mixed across Alberta’s seven largest urban centers. CMHC is anticipating a 16 per cent increase in housing starts this year in Calgary, with Medicine Hat expected to improve by 9.8 per cent.

Conversely, a 15.7 per cent fall in housing starts in the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo is forecast, with an 8.8 per cent decline in Edmonton, a 4.4 per cent decrease in Grande Prairie and a 4.3 per cent slide in Lethbridge.

CMHC said in its outlook that record in-migration to Alberta last year is contributing to the overall rise in single-detached starts, as are fewer active listings in the resale market. Alberta’s tight labour market will continue to draw migrants, said CMHC, which will boost incomes and support housing demand.

In the case of Alberta’s resale market, transactions through the Multiple Listing Service are projected to climb nearly four per cent in 2014, followed by a 2.2 per cent gain in 2015. MLS resales in Red Deer will increase by 3.2 per cent to 5,050 this year, said CMHC, and gain another two per cent to 5,150 in 2015.

Elsewhere in Alberta, resales this year are expected to move up by 4.5 per cent in both Calgary and Grande Prairie, and by 3.6 per cent in Medicine Hat, 2.7 per cent in the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo, 2.2 per cent in Lethbridge and 1.3 per cent in Edmonton.

The average price of MLS sales in Red Deer are expected to move up 3.4 per cent to $308,500 this year, and by 2.8 per cent to $317,000 in 2015. The average resale price in Alberta is forecast to rise 3.9 per cent to $396,000 in 2014 and 2.5 per cent to $406,100 in 2015.

Although it expects Canada’s housing market to continue to slow — especially in large urban areas like Toronto — CMHC doesn’t foresee a major crash.

“When you look at how the market has evolved over the past few years it is indeed headed toward a soft landing,” said Mathieu Laberge, the agency’s deputy chief economist.

Laberge said the fundamentals, particularly population, employment and economic growth, low interest rates and the pool of first-time buyers all support the market.

“When we set house prices against those fundamentals, we do see some modest level of over-evaluation, but it’s within historical norms.”

CIBC housing analyst Benjamin Tal added that a crash would require a “trigger,” such as sharply rising mortgage rates. But rate hikes aren’t anticipated until the spring of 2016, and even then are expected to be small.

CMHC did caution that there are risks to its moderate forecast, including high household debt, economic difficulties in China and other emerging economies, and the high number of condos under construction in some markets.

After a slow start to the spring gardening season, local green thumbs are making up for lost time. “We’re just really starting to get to the peak of it now,” said Trudy Watt, a staff member at Parkland. “Everybody is anxious.” The garden centre, which is just east of Red Deer on Hwy 11, is open week days from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

TransCanada looking at Plan B: shipping oil by rail

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

KEYSTONE XL PIPELINE

WASHINGTON — Frustrated by yet another regulatory delay, the company behind the stalled Keystone XL pipeline project is delivering a message in the U.S. capital: it’s getting involved in the rail business.

It might be costlier and dirtier, but until the pipeline gets approved, the company says shipping oil on trains might have to do as a Plan B. TransCanada Corp. president Russ Girling is in New York and Washington this week, telling policymakers and news outlets that the company is working out the technical and financial details of what Girling calls a “rail bridge.”

The company already has oil-storage facilities in Hardisty, Alta., and Cushing, Okla., and might also build new storage space in Steele City, Neb., Girling said. From there, it would build relatively inexpensive infrastructure to load and unload the oil from the rail system, then hire train companies to transport it into Keystone XL’s already-completed southern leg.

Girling’s overarching message, however, is this: the company is not giving up.

“TransCanada is not walking away from anything,” he said in an interview with The Canadian Press.

“As long as our customers are there, then TransCanada is going to be there.... We need a bridge between now and when we can build a pipeline... We use the word bridge, and by bridge we mean it just bridges us to the point in time in which you put in the pipeline.”

It’s not the first time the company has mused about greater involvement in rail shipping, which has skyrocketed in Canada and which rival pipeline companies Enbridge Inc. and Kinder Morgan already participate in. But the increased definitiveness of that message, and its timing, serve to illustrate what pipeline supporters have been stressing for some time: this oil is getting to market — if not by Keystone, then by means that won’t be any cleaner or safer. Girling said he was taken aback by a phone

call he received on Good Friday, while he was on vacation. S omeone at the U.S. State Department called to say that an announcement was coming later in the day that, thanks in part to an ongoing Nebraska court dispute, the presidential approval process was being delayed indefinitely.

Meanwhile, Secretary of State John Kerry was making a similar phone call to his Canadian counterpart, Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird. Girling said he asked his caller what had changed since President Barack Obama had told a gathering of state governors that a decision was coming soon — but didn’t quite get an answer.

In any case, Girling’s phone kept ringing throughout that holiday weekend. His customers immediately started urging him to move ahead with the rail idea, he said.

“They’ve come to us and said, ’Can you guys tell us how long this is going to be?’ We said, ’No, we can’t,”’ Girling recalled.

“They asked this question: ’Then can you build rail-loading facilities in Hardisty, Alta., and in a certain location in the U.S. so we can tie into ... the Keystone pipeline?’... We’ve got a system that’s threequarters built. And they want to know if we can build a bridge.”

The company can’t say yet how much of the Keystone slack the new rail facilities would be able to pick up.

But it says it would be sizable — with an early objective being to carry as much as half of the 830,000 barrels per day that Keystone is designed to ship.

Girling promised more information soon, as the company works out details with engineers and customers.

“Give us another couple of months and we’ll have better answers. But the up-front capital cost isn’t that expensive,” he said.

Ponoka County wants methodical approach to Hwy 2 development

Canada post reports Q1 loss

BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA, Ont. — Canada Post had a $27-million loss before taxes in the first quarter of this year amid an overall drop in revenue as it handled lower volumes of bills and statements delivered by mail.

The Canada Post segment of the Crown corporation’s revenue from operations was $1.468 billion, down from $1.513 billion in the comparable period of 2013. The volume of transaction mail — mainly bills and other statements — dropped by 6.9 per cent compared with a year earlier but that was partially offset by an increase in domestic parcel volumes, which were 4.9 per cent higher.

In the first quarter of 2013, Canada Post had a profit — mainly due to an unusual gain from the sale of a Vancouver plant.

Canada Post’s profit before tax for the three months ended March 30, 2013, was $68 million.

The postal service is the core of the Canada Post Group of companies, which also includes the Purolator courier service and other business segments.

Tapping into the economic potential of the Hwy 2 corridor while limiting “leap frog” development is a key focus of a new Ponoka County plan.

An estimated 23,000 vehicles a day take Hwy 2 through the county, offering a significant advantages to both commercial and industrial businesses, which benefit from exposure and access to transportation routes, says the Hwy 2 Corridor Development Study.

Since few local roadways in the county meet with Hwy 2, it’s best to reserve them for commercial enterprises, says the study.

County Reeve Paul McLauchlin said the planning work has created a “model of certainty” for landowners and will be used as a guide for council when making development decisions.

The county wants to avoid creating a “mish-mash of land uses” that risk creating conflicts.

“We’ll have a more methodical approach to this and a more phased approach to this to make sure that people understand.”

Public response has been supportive, said McLauchlin. While the preservation of good farmland remains a priority, there is also a recognition that development pressure shows no signs of abating

along the corridor.

“We do know that’s coming obviously so we want to be prepared. But at the same time, we want to be able to make a case-by-case decision,” he said.

“I think people are realists and they want to say hey if (development) is going to happen it’s going to happen. Let’s just do it right and let’s make sure it respects land use and respects the fact we’re an agricultural community with the inevitability that this (non-agricultural) development is going to occur.”

After public consultation, additional land was set aside for potential development around the Hwy 53 and Menaik Road interchanges in the final version of the plan that council adopted earlier this month.

The study says there’s a good case to be made for allowing suitable commercial and industrial development around highway interchanges, but offers a caution.

Due to the precedent this would set, “the importance of maintaining good relations with neighbouring municipalities, and the absolute priority of traffic safety, the county will ensure that each site is properly planned before any development commences.”

While development is encouraged in certain areas, the plan reinforces the county’s commitment to preserving agriculture. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

MARKETS CLOSE TORONTO — The Toronto stock market registered a solid gain Thursday as strong earnings from Royal Bank (TSX:RY) and TD Bank (TSX:TD) pushed financials higher while miners got a boost from improving Chinese manufacturing data.

The S&P/TSX composite index gained 52.43 points to 14,702.29 as both banks beat analysts’ expectations and their share prices hit record highs.

The Canadian dollar was ahead 0.18 of a cent at 91.8

cents US despite a worse than expected showing in retail sales in March.

Statistics Canada reported that sales fell 0.1 per cent in March to $41.1 billion. Economists had expected a gain of 0.3 per cent. New York indexes were positive after racking up strong gains Wednesday in the wake of the release of minutes from late April’s Federal Reserve meeting, which reinforced expectations the U.S. central bank won’t rush to raise interest rates.

The Dow Jones industri-

als climbed 10.02 points to 16,543.08, the Nasdaq gained 22.8 points to 4,154.34 and the S&P 500 index added 4.46 points to 1,892.49.

Royal Bank’s quarterly net earnings were up 15 per cent from a year ago to $2.2 billion or $1.47 a share, helped along by record earnings in its wealth management segment. Cash diluted earnings per share were $1.49, beating estimates by five cents. RBC’s shares ran ahead $1.17 to $75.46 after going as high as $75.93.

And TD shares gained $1.35 to $53.25 after going as high as $53.32 as the bank reported quarterly net income of $1.98 billion, up from $1.71 billion in the same quarter of 2013. Diluted earnings per share were $1.04 in the quarter, compared with 89 cents year over year. Adjusted net income was up at $2.07 billion, or $1.09 diluted EPS, beating estimates by seven cents a share.

“I don’t know if this pace of outperformance is going to continue, but it certainly looks good for the banking system,” said Ian Nakamoto, director of research at 3MACS. “I don’t see any chink in the armour (and) I think the next quarter will be quite strong,” he said.

Meanwhile, China’s manufacturing contraction eased in May, as HSBC’s preliminary purchasing managers’ index rose to 49.7 from 48.1 in April. Numbers above 50 on the 100-point scale indicate expansion. The HSBC reading follows a similar survey by an official group that had also been showing signs of a rebound in China, with factory activity growing weakly in April.

Analysts say that the improvements in both surveys suggest the Chinese government’s targeted measures to support the economy are moderating the pace of the slowdown.

Elsewhere on the earnings front, electronics seller Best Buy says its quarterly net income was US$461 million, or $1.31 per share, a turnaround from a loss of $81 million, or 24 cents

per share, a year earlier.

Adjusted earnings were 33 cents per share, well above analyst expectations of 19 cents.

Total revenue fell three per cent to US$9.04 billion, considerably below expectations of $9.23 billion, but its shares were up 87 cents to US$26.22.

The base metals sector climbed 1.3 cent as copper prices rose in the wake of the Chinese manufacturing data with the July contract up two cents to US$3.14 a pound.

The energy sector was ahead 0.12 per cent, while July crude lost 33 cents to US$103.74 a barrel. June bullion gained $6.90 to US$1,295 an ounce and the gold sector dipped about 0.2 per cent.

Strong Q2 for TD Bank Website seeks to catch law firms dodging foreign worker rules

HIGHER NET INCOME AND EARNINGS PER SHARE

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Toronto-Dominion Bank (TSX:TD) is reporting a higher second-quarter net income of $1.98 billion, with solid results from both its Canadian and U.S. banking operations.

That’s up from $1.71 billion in the same quarter of 2013. Diluted earnings per share were $1.04 in the quarter, compared with 89 cents year-over-year.

TD said its adjusted net income was up 14 per cent at $2.07 billion, or $1.09 diluted EPS which beat analysts’ expectations of $1.02 per share.

“These results demonstrate the considerable earnings power of our business model,” CEO and president Ed Clark said in a news release on Thursday. Earlier Thursday, the Royal Bank of Canada (TSX:RY) also reported its earnings with a higher second-quarter net income of $2.2 billion, including record earnings in its wealth management segment. Cash diluted earnings per share were $1.49, beating estimates by five cents a share.

In the same quarter last year, TD had adjusted net income of $1.82 billion, or 95 cents diluted EPS, yearover-year.TD said its Canadian retail segment had net income of $1.3 billion for quarter ended April 30, an increase of 12 per cent on an adjusted basis compared with the same quarter

last year.

The bank said earnings in the retail segment were driven by such factors as growth in wealth assets and the new TD Aeroplan credit card portfolio.

Travel rewards company Aimia Inc., which owns and operates the Aeroplan rewards program in Canada, now has TD Bank as its main partner as the issuer of Aeroplan credit cards.

Its U.S. retail operations, TD generated a net income of US$495 million, an increase of 15 per cent compared with the second quarter last year. Excluding the Bank’s investment in TD Ameritrade, the segment generated net income of US$425 million, an increase of 13 per cent.

“The U.S. Retail segment delivered impressive results, with solid fundamentals driven by improving credit,” said Mike Pedersen, group head of U.S. Banking. “While there are signs of improvement in the U.S. economy, we are also facing challenges, including ongoing low interest rates and increased competition. Moving forward, we will continue to invest in growth while managing expenses.”

TD Bank’s return on common equity was 15.9 per cent, up from 15.3 per cent year-over-year. Its provision for credit losses in the quarter was $238 million, a decrease of $7 million, or three per cent, compared with the second quarter last year.

OTTAWA — A website devoted to documenting abuses of the temporary foreign worker program is on the hunt for immigration law firms that might be willing to help employers dodge rules that require them to hire Canadians first.

Operators of the website NTFW.ca, which maps and identifies businesses that hire temporary foreign workers, posed as a company called Big Jimmy’s Construction and sent an email to a number of law firms specializing in immigration issues.

In the email, “Jimmy” says he wants to hire a Thai family member, but has been flooded with interested Canadians after posting the job on the federal government’s job bank — a necessary step for those seeking to hire temporary foreign workers.

“I made the qualifications as strict as possible and kept the salary as low as possible to discourage Canadian applicants.

“But I ended up getting 100s of resumes!” the email says.

“Do you think you could help me get an LMO (labour market opinion) even though I have 100s of Canadians wanting that job?”

One of the replies, which the site says was sent by someone at the firm of Toronto-area immigration lawyer Adela Crossley, came as a surprise to the website’s founder, Rohana Rezel.

“Trust me when I say that she would find a way around the fact that there are suitable Canadian candidates; she is very creative,” says the reply.

In an interview Thursday from Vancouver, Rezel said he was “taken

aback” by the email.

“We were relieved to get a response from another lawyer who told us in no uncertain terms that what we were suggesting violated the regulations.”

Contacted by The Canadian Press, a terse Crossley said she had no knowledge of the exchange, but added the person who wrote the reply “did not speak for me.”

“If she did send something out, and I read it and it’s not appropriate, I will deal with her appropriately,” Crossley said.

“But I would never, ever suggest such a thing.”

Another Vancouver immigration lawyer who received the email from “Jimmy” politely replied that he’d try to help.

But he insisted Thursday his response was a standard, pro-forma reply sent early in the morning before he’d had a chance to read the email thoroughly.

Toronto immigration lawyer Vanessa Routley, meanwhile, sternly warned “Jimmy” against his plan of action.

Earlier this month, several immigration consultants — many of them in Western Canada — were advertising offers to help temporary foreign workers find employers, rather than the other way around.

One thing is clear: Rail is not an ideal, or permanent, solution.

Girling said it would take 1,200 or 1,300 trains per day, passing through towns between Alberta and the midwestern U.S., to carry the same volume as Keystone.

It would also be more expensive — perhaps 50 or 100 per cent more, to ship by rail, he said.

On top of that, there’d be an extra partner siphoning off the profits.

“From our perspective, we don’t make a whole bunch of money doing this... “ Most of the money is spent on rail movement, which goes to the rail companies and things like that,” he said.

“But it’s a service for our customers.”

A funny horror story about murderous cats Cat Out of Hell

By Lynn Truss $14 Random House Group Here is a book about a couple of cats, but I don’t think it will appeal to real cat lovers. It is more likely to be a book for those who are pretty sure that cats are wicked types more apt to consort with Beelzebub than snooze by the fire.

These are not cute little Puff and Ginger who snuggle up and purr, but cats who let you live with them and gleefully relieve the property of mice and birds.

The author is Lynn Truss, famous for Eats Shoots and Leaves: The Zero Approach to

Punctuation, and the very funny Talk to the Hand: The Utter Bloody Rudeness of Everyday Life.

This book is funny ... well, it’s a bit funny, but if you go looking for it at the bookstore, you will locate it in the Horror section, and rightfully so.

One of the cats is Roger, a talkative type, born in London’s East End in 1927, of a most beautiful young mother cat.

Father unknown, of course, but that wasn’t unusual and needn’t be discussed. The other cat is large and black and has surPEGGY vived all of his nine lives, FREEMAN and now, of course, having done that, will live forever.

His name is Captain and he leads a rather lonely life.

BOOKS

What he would really like is another cat who has similarly survived, who could be his companion. Both of them would then continue their pursuits down through the years with no decline.

Captain has cultivated several young cats but none of them lived for more than three or four lives, never nine. Then he meets Roger, who is smart and tough and soon, after a fair bit of brutality, Captain has his companion. So these two have for many years travelled all over the world. Roger, besides being a talker, is quite literary, learning poetry and doing the Cryptic Crossword from The Times.

A terrible thing happens, at least from Captain’s point of view, when Roger is taken away by a young boy with a wicker carrying case, leaving Captain alone again.

The big black cat must now search

the world for Roger. But when he locates him, Roger has been taken in by various cat loving people, who Captain will not tolerate. (As I said, it’s a brutal tale.) People begin to “disappear,” accidents happen, of course.

But Roger has decided life on his own has its good side. He wants to tell his real story to someone, preferably before Captain catches up to him. And what a story it is!

There is a fine little dog in this story, a small brown fellow named Watson, who does all sorts of entertaining tricks on command, and is an ideal and charming little companion. He doesn’t have a large part in the book, doesn’t speak or recite Tennyson. He just runs in circles and barks. After dealing with murderous cats, it does make you think.

able to ignore them and keep working.

Otherwise, it’s time to put an updated resume back into circulation.

Dear Annie: On Easter, our 8-yearold daughter accidentally came across her Easter basket and gifts in our home.

Her facial expression was filled with questions, and my wife and I decided to tell her the truth: that her parents are the Easter Bunny. She then asked about Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy. I told her yes, we are those, as well.

Was I wrong? What is the appropriate age to have this conversation with your child?— No More Secret Santa Dear Santa: There is no specific time to tell your children these things, but by the age of 8, we suspect your daughter was figuring it out on her own.

And most kids don’t appreciate remaining in the dark while their peers are more informed. Telling her the truth probably made her feel more mature and trusted. You could have softened the blow by discussing the idea of Santa, the Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny, helping her understand that parents enjoy this type of pretending

for their children and that using one’s imagination can be fun and creative.

But please put a positive spin on your daughter becoming old enough to know the real story behind the presents. We think she’ll be just fine.

Dear Annie: This is in response to the woman whose grandchildren pull out their hair. I’m in my late 50s and started pulling hair from my moustache when I was in my 30s. I also picked my nails and was fatigued and irritable. A couple of years ago, I began taking higher dosages of multi-B vitamin supplements. Within a year, all of these odd habits disappeared.

Behavioral changes can happen slowly, and we tend to normalize how we feel day-to-day and are not aware that we may have these nutritional deficiencies. I don’t know whether this will help your readers, but I figured it can’t hurt.

They should talk to their health care provider and maybe give it a try for six months. It changed my life. —CK 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.

BRIEF Australia alleges airline passenger smuggled bird eggs in his pants SYDNEY, Australia — Australians call tiny swimming trunks “budgie smugglers,” but the term might have new meaning after customs officials at Sydney’s airport said Wednesday that they found 16 wild-bird eggs in the crotch of a passenger’s pants.

The 39-year-old Czech man arrived Tuesday on a flight from Dubai when customs officials selected him for a baggage examination, Australian Customs and Border Protection Service said in a statement.

“Officers conducted a frisk search of the man and allegedly found 16 small eggs concealed in his groin area,” the statement said.

There was no word on whether it was budgies — small parrots also known as budgerigars — that were allegedly smuggled. The species has yet to be identified.

The man, whose name has not been released, was to appear in a Sydney court on Wednesday charged under environmental protection laws with attempting to import regulated live specimens without a permit.

The charge carries maximum penalties of 10 years in prison and a fine of 170,000 Australian dollars ($157,000 US).

X-CELLENT X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST IS EVERYTHING THAT SUMMER MOVIES ARE MEANT TO BE X:Men: Days of Future Past Three stars (out of four) Rated: PG

BY MICHAEL O’SULLIVAN ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES The subtitle of the latest X-Men installment, “Days of Future Past” — a bit of wordplay inspired by the Moody Blues album Days of Future Passed — may not mean too much, literally, without a toke of wacky weed to enhance its time-trippy poetry.

But the phrase’s evocation of chronology folding in on itself is an effective metaphor for the dual settings of the film, which takes place both in 1973, on the eve of the Paris Peace Accords that ended the Vietnam War, and 50 years hence, when the world of tomorrow has become embroiled in another battle, this time between giant robots and human mutants.

You don’t need drugs to appreciate the cosmic parallels of the situation, but you might want an aspirin or two to calm your head while trying to iron out all the logical paradoxes inherent in this latest installment in the long-running Marvel Comics saga.

The new film centers on the efforts of the mutant superhero Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) to forestall the Third World War by traveling back in time — from the 2020s to the 1970s — to stop the assassination of an industrialist that leads to our dystopian future.

Montgomery happy to sing ‘timeless’ tunes

BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF Country singer John Michael Montgomery never went to college — and neither did his father, who also sang with a country band.

But sure as shooting, the Kentucky-based Montgomery, known for such enduring hits as I Swear and Sold, wants his own teenage son and daughter to go — regardless of whether they later follow him into the music business.

“I’ve told them, you want to know two people who’ve been to college? George Strait and Brad Paisley,” said Montgomery. He believes these two respected performers prove it doesn’t hurt to put music aspirations on hold for a few years of grounding education.

While lots of people have found success without degrees, Montgomery believes having a business background would have helped him when he rose to fame in the 1990s with a string of No. 1 hits: I Love the Way You Love Me, Be My Baby Tonight, If You’ve Got Love, I Can Love You Like That, and The Little Girl.

The 49-year-old singer, who will perform his hits at Cowboys Bar and Nightclub in Red Deer on Thursday, May 29, credits his high school math smarts for steering him straight. But he knows of other performers who made a lot of money for several years then swiftly went broke once their careers cooled.

He believes that knowing the ins and outs of business deals also more important than it used to be, since the record business has raised the stakes of late. Nashville recently adopted the American Idolstyle contract, said Montgomery — which means the industry now gets a cut of a performer’s song royalties and concert and merchandise revenues, as well as album sales.

He believes this has resulted in more singer-songwriters getting signed to recording deals, as a sort of two-for-one package.

It was different when Montgomery was an up-andcomer in the business in the late 1980s, early 1990s.

He said industry execs weren’t too interested, at the time, in hearing his original material, but encouraged him to choose from a catalogue of songs written by seasoned Nashville songwriters.

He didn’t mind singing tunes written by others.

His feeling was “whatever song fits me the best is the song I will sing,” and this philosophy paid off with his first three albums going multi-platinum in sales.

Although the pendulum has since swung towards

Country singer John Michael Montgomery will perform his hits at Cowboys Bar and Nightclub in Red Deer on Thursday, May 29. artists writing their own stuff, Montgomery is still happy to be associated with “timeless” tunes he still likes to sing, and others like to hear.

For instance, the U.S. trio All-4-One recently asked Montgomery to collaborate on a re-recording of the song I Swear. The soulful love ballad that’s been a staple at many a wedding reception was a huge 1994 hit — first for Montgomery, then for the pop trio.

Montgomery decided to put this new collaborative version of the song, written by Gary Baker and Frank J. Myers, on his new greatest hits album that he hopes will be out this summer. He said he still hears from fans who tell him how much that song means to them.

He also intends to write a new tune or two for the release.

“I used to write music all the time when I was

starting out and playing clubs every night,” recalled Montgomery, who grew up influenced by many musical genres and singers — including Frank Sinatra and Lionel Ritchie.

He laughs out loud when asked whether sons of country singers rebel by listening to Motown artists.

“I’ve always loved those artists,” he responded. “I don’t know why. I love their voices and attitude.”

As for Sinatra, Montgomery added that as much as he appreciates old and new country music, he can see himself crooning big-band standards someday.

“One of my grand delusions is singing Frank Sinatra songs.”

Michael Fassbender stars as a young Magneto in X-Men: Days of Future Past.

STORY FROM PAGE D1

X-MEN: Intoxicating as a shot of adrenaline The plot alone, which is drawn from two issues of The Uncanny X-Men comic book series from 1980, is enough to make you want a drink.

On second thought, just say no. Not to the movie — it’s a gas — but to mindaltering substances of any kind. Days of Future Past is, in itself, as intoxicating as a shot of adrenaline. It’s what summer movies are meant to be.

Does it answer the nagging question of how Professor Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart) can possibly still be alive after exploding into bits at the end of 2006’s X-Men: The Last Stand? Or how Wolverine has metal claws again, after having them amputated at the end of last year’s The Wolverine? No, it does not. And so what? The movie provides enough of a buzz that, by the end, you just won’t care anymore.

Plus, it wipes out all those bad feelings left by Last Stand, which is widely reviled by fans as one of the worst films in the franchise (next to, of course, X-Men Origins: Wolverine).

Because it involves time travel, Days of Future Past can set many things right that, for so many fans, went so wrong with Last Stand. And it does.

Days of Future Past opens in the future, when an army of mutant-hunting automatons called Sentinels have all but exterminated the lovable genetic freaks, or X-Men, at the center of the comic-book mythology. Discovering that one of their number (Ellen Page’s Kitty) has developed the ability to send people back in time, the X-Men’s elder statesmen — Xavier and his perennial frenemy, Magneto (Ian McKellen) — elect to rewrite history, as myriad movies have done before, in the hope that it will change the present.

Wolverine is just the man for the job. His mission? Stop fellow mutant Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence) from killing robot-designer Bolivar Trask (Peter Dinklage), whose death, fueling anti-mutant sentiment, precipitated the rise of the machines.

Of course, this is easier said than done (and it ain’t all that easily said).

Wolverine not only has to persuade the younger versions of Xavier and Magneto (James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender) to help him, but it also turns out that everyone has their own petty agenda. One more thing: Back in 1973, Magneto is in jail, charged with the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. It’s a nice touch, if a little ghoulish.

Recruited for the necessary breakout is a mutant called Quicksilver (Evan Peters), who can move faster than the speed of sound. He steals the whole film, in a thrilling and hilarious sequence depicting just how molasseslike the world feels to someone who can get around as fast as he can. The stop-time effect utilized here is a triumph of modern movie-making and will set a high bar for action movies for years to come.

Days of Future Past is not a perfect movie, thanks mostly to time-travel anomalies that spring leaks in an otherwise airtight construction. While the 1973 action appears to take place over several days, for instance, the parallel action in the future seems to take only several hours.

But I’m not kidding when I say this doesn’t matter. There’s a certain amount of compensation that goes on with any X-Men movie. The franchise’s fans expect certain characters to look and behave in certain ways. Some, I’m sure, will quibble about the appearance of Quicksilver, who looks like a surf punk, or the fact that Kitty, whose mutant ability was previously limited to walking through walls, can suddenly conjure up time travel.

Yet, for many of these fans — myself included — the disappointment eventually dissipates, not because we get the movie we want, but because we get the one we need.

LOS ANGELES — Prosecutors charged actor Michael Jace, who played a police officer in the hit TV series The Shield, with murder on Thursday in the shooting death of his wife in their Los Angeles home.

Jace, 51, could face 50 years to life in state prison if convicted.

April Jace, 40, was shot multiple times and was found dead in a hallway of the family home in the quiet, modest Hyde Park neighbourhood of Los Angeles.

Police recovered a handgun believed to belong to her husband.

Jace is being held in lieu of $2 million bail and was scheduled to appear in court on Thursday for the first time.

Prosecutors did not know whether he had an attorney or if one would be appointed to represent him.

No motive for the killing has been disclosed.

Detectives were investigating whether the couple’s financial problems or other marital difficulties played a role in the killing that police said occurred during an argument Monday night while the couple’s two sons, both under 10, were in the house. They were placed with relatives.

Jace called the emergency dispatcher, said he’d shot his wife and was at the home when officers arrived, police Detective Dean Vinluan has said.

Vinluan said there had been no reports of domestic violence at the home.

However, the actor had been under financial pressure in recent years. He declared for bankruptcy in 2011 and had been delinquent on payments as recently as December.

Jace is best known for his role as LAPD Officer Julien Lowe in The Shield. He also appeared on the show Southland and had small roles in the movies Planet of the Apes, Boogie Nights and Forrest Gump.

REVIEW

Ghost Stories an exercise in frustrated potential

BY ALLISON STEWART ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES Ghost Stories is Coldplay’s first album since lead singer Chris Martin’s separation from Gwyneth Paltrow launched a thousand conscious uncoupling jokes. Some of the best albums in history have been born out of such domestic strife. But for Coldplay, which has always treated romantic misery as an allyou-can-eat-buffet, an album full of gloomy songs about love gone wrong is in itself unremarkable — the band was making divorce albums before anybody actually got married.

Ghost Stories is stripped-down and slippery, a pointed de-escalation from their last album, Mylo Xyloto. Both incredibly popular and intensely disliked, Mylo Xyloto was outsize and over-produced, a helium balloon of an album that existed in a state of Peak Coldplay. The band’s basic formula was inflated to the point of absurdity.

In its preference for acoustic ballads instead of stadium-ready electro-pop, Ghost Stories is a retrenchment, a conscious return to the relative simplicity of the band’s debut, Parachutes. There’s a great exercise in Technicolor dubstep-like pop courtesy of Avicii (A Sky Full of Stars), but everything else

STORY FROM PAGE D2

HARRY: Not as slick and savvy as it needs to be Through the first episode, some of the girls think he’s Harry, some of them don’t, but the doubters are not going to take a chance that they are wrong: better to humiliate yourself than miss out on an opportunity to be Kate Middleton’s sister-in-law.

Competitiveness as much as gullibility drives the women, and the show makes much of both of these unflattering characteristics.

For Matt to be the good guy — the poor, unappreciated diamond in the rough — the women can’t inspire much of our sympathy, or we will recognize him and the show for what they are: lying, lying liars.

And so the women get the “bad edit.” They are portrayed as loud and hyper and thoroughly, absurdly American, astonishing this proper Brit with their tawdry sexual aggressiveness and poorly calibrated indoor voices. They are catty and judgmental, and for each one who gets moon-eyed about true love, another talks about how hot and sexy and bitchy and acquisitive she is. (The most down-to-earth girl, a bartender who responds to the situation with anxiety, gets bounced very quickly. This likely saves the show: with her gone, the audience has no one to feel bad for anymore.)

I am loath to call anything about this series clever, but there is something nastily sharp about its savvy manipulation of reality TV clichés. How distinct is this from a show like The Bachelor, really? The bachelor does not flat-out lie about his identity (as far as I know), but on that series, as on this one, a group of women compete for a man they think — based on the

When Dolan first conceived of the idea for Mommy a few years ago, he envisioned the story being told in English, by American actors.

Eventually, though, he decided he wanted to do it in French — “in my own language, at home, in the streets I know best, in the neighbourhood I know, which inspires me,” he said.

But Dolan is convinced he’ll work in English one day.

He’s already written an English screenplay with Montreal filmmaker Jacob Tierney and is gauging interest in the project. After Cannes, though, Dolan wants to take a break.

“I’m going back to school actually in the fall to . . . try and have a little bit of a more normal life and beat, and go back to hanging out with people my age, hopefully kissing them a little, you know,” Dolan said with a smile.

Dolan’s Mommy is one of three Canadian films competing for the Palme d’or.

David Cronenberg’s Maps to the Stars and Atom Egoyan’s The Captive are also in the running for the award.

feels like a retreat. It’s as if Coldplay has decided they want to be less like U2 in 1991 and more like Coldplay in 2001.

There is less of a sense of puffed-up grandeur than any of the band’s recent outings, but grandeur was something Coldplay did well, if too often. Grandeur can cover a multitude of sins. These spartan songs lay bare every weakness of melody (Martin used to write superlative ones; he seems to have given up) and songwriting.

Lyrically, Ghost Stories is fascinating for the same reasons it’s so vicariously depressing. This isn’t Coldplay’s usual conspicuous mopery; this is a public bloodletting: True Love is a raw, synth-driven midtempo ballad about the disintegration of a relationship (“Tell me you love me / If you don’t, then lie”).

The similarly themed Ink, loping and percussive, feels like something Jack Johnson might make if he were British and sad all the time. Its lyrics read like bad Twilight fan fiction (“All I know / Is that I’m lost / In your fire below”).

Martin is as polarizing a figure in his world as Paltrow is in hers, and Ghost Stories humanizes them while still managing to be universal in its reach.

Sometimes it does this too much: Martin is a master of lyrical generalities, adept at telegraphing basic emotions — I’m lonely, I’m sad, I’ll meet you in the rain, I’ll fly away like a bird — but unequal to the deep dive a truly classic breakup album requires.

Still, there has never been such a revealing relationship album written by one celebrity we felt as if we knew about another celebrity we also felt as if we knew, even if its revelations may not all be intentional. This isn’t just an album of garment-rending breakup songs, it’s an album with giddy newfound love songs. Songs written about someone who clearly isn’t Gwyneth Paltrow, by someone who was married to Gwyneth Paltrow at the time.

With sometime collaborator Brian Eno (he produced the fine Viva la Vida, and contributed to the tolerable parts of Mylo Xyloto) absent, and guitarist Jonny Buckland unwisely minimized (Ghost Stories belongs to its synths, pianos and bass), Martin is left to his own devices. The result is a great premise chained to an album of modest pleasures, its lyrics too ethereal to carry much charge, its melodies too mild to prop them up. As a piece of art, Ghost Stories is an exercise in frustrated potential. As a historical document of a celebrity divorce as a slow-motion car crash, it’s not much either, but it’s the best we have.

Japan’s Shonen Knife offer hard rock album

word of producers they don’t know very well — is a wonderful, handsome, rich catch, looking for love for all the right reasons. Enough seasons of that show have aired for us to know that this particular fairy tale has been highly, highly finessed. So many of that show’s princes have turned out to be toads, including the one who actually was a prince.

It sometimes feels as though I Wanna Marry ‘Harry’ is knowingly, willfully treading reality TV’s ethical seams, the places where the pus is most likely to ooze out, where our surprisingly naïve expectations run into the workaday manipulations of creating a show like this. It is unimaginable that the women do not smell a royal rat, and yet the show proceeds as though they do not. Whose naïveté is the show really exploiting, then: the participants’ or the audi-

BY ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES TOKYO — Shonen Knife, the all-female cult trio hailed at home and abroad since the early 1980s, has released Overdrive, their first album in nearly two years.

The band is known for its bright, fun sound. But this time around, the band draws much of its inspiration from the classic hard rock legends of the 1970s.

“I’m hooked on that sound right now,” beamed lead vocalist and guitarist Naoko. “It was during an era when rock culture that bloomed in 1960s was maturing. The fashion was stylish, too. I started getting into it after I became an adult, so it still sounds fresh to me.”

The record clearly takes after such iconic acts as Thin Lizzy, Black Sabbath and Judas Priest, the swathes of distorted guitar chugs being a pleasure to experience.

Shonen Knife’s previous effort was heavily rooted in pop, and the release before consisted entirely of covers from punk rock greats the Ramones. Overdrive is the alt-rock band’s effort to step in a different direction to showcase their versatile style.

Drummer Emi and bassist Ritsuko, who are also vocalists, had their fair share of troubles in coping with music they were not very familiar with. “I was consciously trying to hit the drums slow and heavy.

That was most difficult. Faster rhythms are easier,” Emi explained.

Their tribulations paid off in the end, the sound they achieved being thick and solid.

“I think we ended up with a sort of natural, Shonen Knife-style hard rock that doesn’t try too hard,” Ritsuko said.

With many fans overseas, the band regularly tours other countries. They are currently on a European tour, and autumn dates set for the United States. The Japan tour this year will kick off July 5 at Shibuya Tsutaya O-nest in Tokyo. ence’s? The women who believe they are competing for a royal, or those of us at home who believe these women believe they are competing for a royal? At certain moments I almost expected the cast to turn to the audience and say, “Come on!” And that means for all its polish, I Wanna Marry ‘Harry’ is not as slick and savvy as it needs to be. It comes way too close to breaking the only really hard-and-fast rule of reality TV: never tip the audience off that the joke’s on them.

MONTREAL — Quebec director Xavier Dolan is creating a major buzz in Cannes with his latest film.

Dolan’s Mommy is being presented at the Cannes Film Festival, with some critics raising the possibility it could nab the coveted “Palme d’or” prize.

The film received several glowing reviews following a Wednesday press screening.

Dolan held a news conference on Thursday and was asked what a victory on Saturday would mean.

“It would just be an extraordinary message to people my age and my generation,” he replied.

While the writer-director is only 25, Mommy is Dolan’s fourth film at the festival, albeit his first in the prestigious competition.

“There might be a proper age to know how to tell stories, but there is no proper age to start telling them,” Dolan said.

“I’m not thinking of myself as someone young. I feel neither young nor old, I just feel like I’m trying to do the right thing in order to tell a story that haunts me somehow.”

Dolan first appeared at Cannes in 2009 with the parent-son drama I Killed My Mother (J’ai tue ma mere), which won three awards.

He said he’s always been interested in strong female characters. The one played by Anne Dorval in I Killed My Mother was inspired by his own mother, while the woman in his latest film, who is also played

by Dorval, is the total opposite, he said.

“My relationship with my mother inspired me a lot for my first film, which was autobiographical,” Dolan said.

“After that, it was more the idea of mother per se that inspired me for the other films.

“I don’t know why talking about the place of mothers in society — and the place of women, I imagine — is a theme and a territory that’s so rich and inspiring for me.”

Dolan admits that his own father, actor Manuel Tadros, wasn’t always as present in his life growing up, when he lived with his mother full time. While he has a strong relationship with him now, Dolan said he doesn’t feel the same urge to feature fathers prominently in his films.

“As a youngster, I didn’t know my father well enough, I didn’t observe him enough, I didn’t admire him or love him or detest him enough,” he said.

Rogue general takes fight to extremists

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CAIRO, Egypt — A renegade general leading a week-long military campaign in Libya against Islamists dominating the country’s political scene urged Thursday for a “war against terrorism,” vowing to keep up his offensive until he purges his nation of militants.

Gen. Khalifa Hifter told The Associated Press that he doesn’t seek power for himself but a new, democratically elected leadership for Libya, and a strong military that will act as a “safety valve” against corrupt leaders.

“We are in a mission of fighting a war against terrorism, against terrorists and al-Qaida groups,” he said.

“The world must take part in it” and back us.

Hifter also claimed he had more than 75 per cent of Benghazi, Libya’s second-largest city, under his control and that he is allegedly also getting help from moderate Islamists who were breaking away from their militias and joining his forces. The eastern city was the birthplace of the 2011 uprising that toppled dictator Moammar Gadhafi.

The 70-year-old Hifter spoke to the AP over Skype from near Benghazi, from where he has been leading an armed revolt since last Friday in what has perhaps been the biggest challenge yet to Libya’s weak central government and fledgling security forces.

Hifter has dubbed his offensive “Operation Dignity,” saying it is aimed at breaking both Islamic militias and their supporting political factions dominating the parliament, already weakened by constant street protests

by Libyans demanding its disbandment.

Backed by military jets flown by pilots who sided with him, his forces have been bombing the outskirts of Benghazi since Friday, forcing militias to withdraw from their compounds, Hifter’s spokesman Mohammed Hegazi said. Dozens were killed in the clashes, many from among Hifter’s forces.

LIBYA ‘WE ARE IN A MISSION OF FIGHTING A WAR AGAINST TERRORISM, AGAINST TERRORISTS AND AL-QAIDA GROUPS. THE WORLD MUST TAKE PART IN IT.’ — GEN KHALIFA HIFTER

File photo by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Libyan Gen. Khalifa Hifter addresses a press conference in Benghazi, Libya, on Saturday, May 17, 2014.

On Sunday, militiamen allied with Hifter stormed and ransacked the parliament while the general’s forces declared the body suspended. On Wednesday, he called for the formation of a Presidential Council to take over from parliament, oversee elections and hand power after a nationwide vote to a new legislature.

Earlier Thursday, Islamist-led militias streamed into Tripoli, called in by the parliament, to defend the city against Hifter’s campaign. The Islamist-dominated legislature has described Hifter’s campaign as a coup, while the government appears split on the issue.

The militias, known as Libya Central Shield, are composed of groups from the western city of Misrata. They are under the command of the country’s chief of staff, who answers to parliament.

Reflecting Libya’s deep divisions,

the government condemned the parliament’s move to deploy militias, saying this only “endangers the city and the safety of its residents.”

Hifter holds a special grudge against the Muslim Brotherhood, one of the biggest political blocs in parliament, accusing them of financing and supporting Islamist militias. He said he thinks there are between 5,000 and 10,000 armed extremists in Libya.

“This is not one operation,” he said.

“There will be several operations and we will not end until we rid the country of all terrorists and militants.”

Hifter’s campaign, while plunging Libya deeper into uncertainty, has also been winning support from several prominent government officials, diplomats, and military units who have sided with him against Islamists — both among the militias and in parliament.

Hifter was formerly the army chief under Gadhafi, who was toppled and

slain in the 2011 civil war. After turning against his leader, he was sentenced to death in absentia for orchestrating a failed coup. He lived in exile in Virginia and returned to fight alongside the rebels battling to topple the strongman.

Following the end of the civil war, Libya — and Benghazi in particular — have sunk into lawlessness and chaos.

On Sept. 11, 2012, the U.S. diplomatic post in Benghazi came under attack by Islamist miiltias, leaving four Americans dead, including the U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens Hifter has re-emerged on the political scene now, presenting himself as Libya’s potential saviour after nearly two years of chaos in which unruly militias are exercising power over elected officials and assassinating dozens of soldiers and police.

He spoke to the AP a day after he laid out a road map for transitional period in which he called for the country’s top judicial authorities to form a new presidential council to take over power until holding new parliamentary elections.

Hifter insisted he doesn’t seek power for himself but believes a “transitional period,” under a new presidential council, could take up to a year, until Libya gets a new leadership.

“If we wanted power, nothing would prevent us. But we want a civilian state,” he said, speaking of his campaign.

UN ready to move on aid

Mexico police detain alleged mastermind of mass murder

WITHOUT GOVERNMENT CONSENT IF NECESSARY

MEXICO CITY — Police have arrested the suspected mastermind behind the kidnapping of 12 young people from a Mexico City bar who were later found slain and buried in a clandestine grave, prosecutors said Thursday.

Witnesses told investigators that the arrested man, Joel Javier Rodriguez Fuentes, planned and participated in the abduction last year, prosecutors said in a statement.

The group vanished from an after-hours bar a block from leafy Reforma Avenue, the capital’s main boulevard.

Their bodies were found months later in a rural grave in neighbouring Mexico state.

The mass kidnapping resonated across this city of 9 million people because many had come to believe it was an oasis from violence elsewhere in the country.

Authorities said last year that the group was targeted as revenge for the killing of a drug dealer in the capital.

SYRIA

The United Nations secretary-general said the world body is poised to help get longawaited humanitarian aid across borders into Syria even at crossings outside government control, in defiance of Damascus’ insistence that all aid go through its authorities.

Ban Ki-Moon’s new report released Thursday points to a possible path ahead after months of frustration over the inability to get basic necessities to millions of Syrians trapped in the three-year conflict.

The report says access to humanitarian aid remains “unpredictable and woefully inadequate” and that the government of President Bashar Assad has “failed” to care for its people, and it indicates that the UN will move ahead on aid delivery regardless of government consent.

“We are ready to put in place arrangements at key border and line crossings to facilitate, improve and monitor access,” the report says, including at crossings “currently outside the government’s effective control.”

Ban said about 9.3 million people — more than 6.5 million

Dr. Darwish Khan examines two year-old Syrian refugee Mohammed al-Omar at a medical clinic in the town of Kab Elias in Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley on Tuesday, March 11, 2014 . displaced by the fighting — are in need of urgent humanitarian assistance within Syria, and access to both government and opposition areas has “dropped significantly” in the last month alone. He warned in his report that “the next two weeks are critical” in determining whether progress can be made in widening aid access.

The UN Security Council has been pressured to back up a resolution passed earlier this year demanding access by all

sides in the conflict for delivering humanitarian aid. Diplomats and UN officials have said the situation on the ground has worsened since then.

Ban called on the council Thursday to “urgently” consider its next steps. That has been difficult, as Syria’s closest ally, Russia, is likely to veto any council resolution under the section of the UN Charter that authorizes action without a government’s consent.

Australian Ambassador Gary

Quinlan told reporters Thursday that his country, Luxembourg and Jordan will bring a new resolution to the council “very soon,” though he didn’t give details.

“We agree totally with the secretary-general. It is time for action,” Quinlan said.

The secretary-general repeated Thursday that parties to the conflict, “particularly the government of Syria, continue to deny access for humanitarian assistance in a completely arbitrary and unjustifiable manner.”

Ban added, “Arbitrarily withholding consent for the opening of all relevant border crossings is a violation of international humanitarian law, and an act of non-compliance with resolution 2139.”

The report said that Syria points to its long-standing policy to deny the use of border crossings outside its control.

A map of Syria’s border crossings distributed last month by the UN shows 34 crossings from Turkey, Iraq, Jordan and Lebanon, with just five marked “open” and five marked “problematic,” with the others marked “closed.”

Last month, 35 international lawyers, including a former UN legal counsel, accused the United Nations of an “overly cautious interpretation of humanitarian law, which has held UN agencies back from delivering humanitarian aid across borders” into Syria.

Inspectors abducted in back of refrigerated truck by driver BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — An Argentine truck driver upset that inspectors found irregularities with his refrigerated cargo shut two inspectors in the back and took them on a long, cold ride.

Sanitary control inspector Valeria Aguirre says during a routine inspection of a refrigerated truck they found that the food inside wasn’t being stored at an acceptable temperature.

They told the driver they were going to retain his cargo, which was described as desserts.

Aguirre tells Todo Noticias channel that she and another inspector entered the truck’s refrigerated compartment to register the cargo when the driver became upset and said “I want to go, they can’t keep me here.”

She said Thursday he locked them in the back and drove off. “We grabbed what we could and the papers flew everywhere.”

She says the inspectors called colleagues who contacted police.

The truck was intercepted after a trip of more than 3 kilometres.

They were rescued safe but shivering. The driver was arrested.

QUITO, Ecuador — Ecuador’s government has issued an environmental permit for oil drilling in the pristine Amazon reserve that President Rafael Correa initially offered to exempt from exploration if rich countries would pay his government.

Correa abandoned that effort last year due to insufficient interest and has spurned pleas by environmentalists to spare the Yasuni reserve.

Earlier this month, Ecuador’s electoral council declared invalid a petition drive seeking to prevent drilling in the 6,500-square-mile Amazon reserve.

Environment Minister Lorena Tapia said on state television that with Thursday’s signing of the permit camps and access roads can now be built.

Production could begin as early as 2016.

Two indigenous groups living in voluntary isolation inhabit Yasuni, which the U.N. in 1989 declared a biosphere reserve.
