Wheels of justice bogged down RECENT CHANGES TO RED DEER’S COURTHOUSE HAVE FAILED TO ADDRESS THE KEY CONCERN — CHRONIC OVERCROWDING

Court worker helps people navigate the courthouse system

BY BRENDA KOSSOWAN ADVOCATE STAFF More security, more help and changes in office layouts have improved the complexion at Red Deer’s busy courthouse, but fail to address long-term concerns about overcrowding.

“We’re not sure exactly what’s happening in Red Deer,” said Chris Rickards, president of the Central Alberta Bar Society.

“We have heard that there is some money that the provincial government has put aside. There is supposed to be a million dollars this year, and then some further monies coming at some later point.”

The money, including $1 million this year and $30 million in the next two years, was provided in this year’s provincial budget to fund a series of studies into courthouse space and potential solutions.

However, the bar society’s committee on courthouse expansion still has questions, Rickards said.

“We’re not getting a consistent answer from various people as to what it is supposed to be for. Some people are telling us it is supposed to be for a study to determine the viability of a P3 concept for three different courthouses, one of which would be Red Deer.

Some people are saying it’s a study to determine what the priorities are between those three different places, and some people are saying it’s for something else,” he said.

“If it’s a question of whether or not Red Deer needs a new courthouse, that question has been answered a long time ago.”

The bar society’s committee, including retired Court of Queen’s Bench jusPhoto by JEFF STOKOE/Advocate staff tice Jim Foster and former mayor Mor- Jeanie Adams works at the Red Deer Courthouse with the Elizabeth Fry Society. ris Flewwelling, has met with Justice Minister Jonathan Denis in the past to discuss a proposal that would allow was put through Alberta Infrastruc- proposed reform in how traffic charges construction of a new court building ture’s portion of the budget, so his de- are managed, said Roddick.

She calls herself a glorified Walmart greeter. It’s an understatement.

Armed with a clipboard, a pen and a copy of the day’s dockets, court worker Jeanie Adams positions herself in the middle of the main floor of the Red Deer Courthouse, where she can easily intercept people who may need a helping hand.

Her salary is covered by the Elizabeth Fry Society, which approached the Alberta Law Society for funding when members noted the large number of people being channelled through Red Deer provincial court’s main courtrooms on a regular basis.

The number of people milling around the front of the courtroom was becoming an organizational burden for duty counsel, the lawyer provided by the Legal Aid Society to advise people who are in the initial stages of the criminal court process.

“It was always congested and it looked like there was a need, so we got the funding to put a person out here,” says Adams.

While she cannot provide legal advice, she helps them negotiate the courthouse system and organizes a list of people who want duty counsel’s help.

She explains basic court processes, such as the order in which people are called and the length of time they can expect to wait for their turn before the judge.

She assures them that, once they’re on her list, they can relax outside the courtroom and wait for their turn.

“People get edgy sitting out here, because they’re scared or they’re impatient. My main role is to try to keep everything calm here and explain ... what happens and why it’s taking so long.”

It’s not just about helping accused people, says Adams, who has years of experience as a parole officer and as a family court worker.

She seeks out people who could use a hand, including victims as well as the accused, along with family and friends of both.

New to Red Deer, Adams is compiling a catalogue of local services available to help people. Her goal is to set herself up as a front-line resource for everyone involved in the criminal court system, regardless of what brought them there.

The gate can be locked electronically by sheriffs working the front door. ● Commissionaires have been contracted to assist sheriffs at the front door, where security screening systems have been in place for a number of years. There are normally two commissionaires at the door with the sheriffs, who rotate duties within the building.

Plains Midstream charged for oil spill

SPCA GARAGE SALE

BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF Provincial and federal environmental charges have been laid against Plains Midstream Canada ULC in connection with a June 2012 oil spill on the Red Deer River.

The Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) announced on late Friday afternoon it was laying a charge of failing to report a release of crude oil from a pipeline.

Plains Midstream also faces a charge under the federal Fisheries Act for the spill that released about 2,900 barrels of sour crude oil into the Red Deer River just a few kilometres downstream of Sundre.

AER spokesman Darin Barter said the charges were laid on Friday, but he did not have much additional information.

“This is the first time we’ve put forward one of these issues for the prosecution,” said Barter. The AER was formed in June 2012 to oversee oil, gas and coal development in Alberta.

Barter did not know the maximum penalty Plains Midstream faces. He referred further questions on the prosecution to Alberta Justice.

The charges follow on the heels of an AER investigation into the spill that blamed Plains Midstream for numerous failures that led to the pipeline break under the Red Deer River.

The AER says in a report released in March the Calgary-based company did not inspect the pipeline annually or even follow its own pipeline integrity management program.

Plains Midstream also failed to undertake appropriate measures to combat erosion it had detected under the pipeline or “apply appropriate mitigation measures according to its own hazard assessment,” says the report on the spill that saw riverbanks coated in a layer of stinking black light sour crude. The leak forced the closure of Gleniffer Lake to recreational users and led to a fishing ban.

The company knew, following inspections in 2008, that the pipeline route under the river was prone to wash-out erosion.

Shortage of seniors beds splitting up families

BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF The story of senior couples being separated because of lack of beds in care facilities is all too common, said one senior’s advocate.

Brenda Corney, Friends of Medicare Red Deer chapter chair, said Friday there is a significant shortage of seniors beds in the Red Deer area and it’s splitting up families and couples.

“It is quite a frequent occurrence,” said Corney. “It’s not just husbands and wives that get separated, but people get separated from their family.”

Safety is a large issue when it comes to moving people into different situations, says Alberta Health Services.

“There are times, specifically when there is an immediate crisis or a large change in circumstance for a family that from a safety perspective we have

to work with whatever is available and that availability isn’t always in the community of choice or their home community,” said Kerry Bales, AHS Central Zone chief zone officer.

“Being outside of their preferred community might not be the ideal circumstance by any stretch of the imagination, but it might be the safest thing available at that moment.”

Bales used the example of a dementia patient at home without supervi-

sion or supports, being at risk of leaving their home and doing something unsafe.

“That would be an example of having to balance a preferred community and actually being able to provide a space immediately in a community that might not be their first choice,” said Bales. “At least in this other community they’re in a secured environment.”

SPILL: Audit

Cruise Night sets milestone Dave Burden has his sights aimed high after an early season milestone for Red Deer Cruise Night, an event he organizes.

On May 22, a record was set for number of vehicles at the show with 625 — 612 cars or trucks, and 13 motorcycles.

“It’s awesome, it blew me away because it was kind of cloudy,” said Burden. “It was the first night people were actually able to attend without the fear of a hail storm coming down on us.”

Cars ranged from the 1920s and 1930s right up to brand new models at the show, which Burden said is one of the largest in the country.

He has heard from people all over the world about his show — a Los Angelesbased car club is planning on coming later this year and a German who is moving to Alberta has already talked with Burden about coming into Red Deer to see the cars.

But now Burden has wants to try for even more. By the end of the year he wants to have one night with more than 700 cars coming out to one night.

The cruise nights, which include food vendors and entertainment, take place on Thursdays throughout the summer in the Parkland Mall northeast parking lot, 6-9 p.m. weather permitting, 4747 67th St. in Red Deer.

There is no charge to attend but there is a donation box at the entrance.

SENIORS: 80km radius The system puts seniors who need care into the first available bed within a certain radius of their home. However, Corney points out it can send a senior about an hour away, up to 80 km away from their homes.

“Then you have to wait there for your preferred place for however long that takes,” said Corney. “Then your family has to travel.

“It makes it very difficult to be available for the parent for the support they need.”

An Advocate story Friday told how a Red Deer couple have been separated. Therese Beauchamp, 90, now has to ride in a car more than an hour to see her husband, Gerald, 86, who has been put in a Stettler senior’s care facility far from his wife of 62 years.

Gerald is dealing with escalating dementia and mobility issues. He has been in Stettler two weeks. It is the longest the couple have been away from each other, said daughter Louise White-Gibbs.

Corney said she hears stories all the time of couples split up because one needs a senior’s care bed and has to wait it out at a facility far away.

“If your mother needed you and she was in Stettler, how often would you be able to get there?” asked Corney.

“If she was confused and had anxiety about things and called in a panic attack, how would you get to Stettler? How would you deal with it?”

Bales said the demand for continuing care spaces ebbs and flows throughout the year and it is not predictable how long someone would have to wait.

“The problem is there is not enough beds in the Red Deer area for the amount of long-term care we need,” said Corney.

She said there are assisted living beds, which are available for a price.

But there just aren’t enough long-term care or dementia beds.

Bales said AHS has been adding beds in the Central Zone and in Red Deer. But the challenges are there is an aging population and the demand for those beds keep increasing.

“We certainly do our best to make sure people have their first placement choices as far as the community they’d like to be in,” said Bales.

“We absolutely do our best to make sure people aren’t separated from their family.” mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com

RCMP looking for help to solve Halkirk thefts Coronation RCMP are hoping for some public tips to wrap up a rash of crime in the small Hamlet of Halkirk, just west of Coronation.

Police said three locations were the target of a series of break and enters and thefts. All three locations were along Hwy 855. Suspects took a quantity of tools, generators and dyed diesel.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Coronation RCMP at 403-578-3666 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Regional bus service begins Aug. 25

Blackfalds and Lacombe from Sorensen Station in Red Deer.

The highly anticipated regional bus service carrying passengers between the three municipalities will be on the road starting with an express service leaving Red Deer at 6:42 a.m. on Aug. 25.

There will also be local service in Lacombe and Blackfalds.

Transit schedules were recently posted on the City of Lacombe’s website (www. lacombe.ca). Blackfalds and Red Deer are expected to have schedules posted in the coming weeks.

A monthly adult regional transit pass will ring in at $90 for Lacombe and $70 for Blackfalds while the monthly local fare is $50 for both Lacombe and Blackfalds. Cash fare for the regional service will cost riders $5 and $2 for local service.

There will be 10 local stops in Lacombe and another nine stops in Blackfalds .

The need for the bus service was heightened when three Greyhound routes pulled out of Central Alberta in October 2011.

The three municipalities have been working on the service for several years.

However, “Plains did not apply any additional measures to reduce the likelihood or consequence of failure,” the report says.

The company also failed to limit the amount of crude oil that flowed out of the 12-inch (32-cm) pipeline by not responding properly to a provincial high stream flow advisory.

An investigation by pipeline experts determined that a “full guillotine failure” was detected at a pipeline weld at the west bank of the river.

The problem was pinpointed to “high-cycle fatigue, likely caused by vibrations induced by river flow, and that the section of the pipeline that failed must have been exposed during the incident and was likely uncovered by scour.”

Four high-risk enforcement actions were issued against Plains Midstream last year as a result of the spill.

As well, in light of two other Plains Midstream spills, in 2011 and 2013, the province ordered an audit of the company’s operations in Alberta.

That report — which will determine whether the company is allowed to continue to operate in the province — is due out later this year.

such as zebra mussels, eurasion watermilfoil and quagga mussels. Though these species are not yet in Alberta lakes, the county said if one were introduced it could cause severe damage.

These species can live for 30 days out of the water and reproduce as much as one million eggs every year, making them very difficult to eradicate.

To prevent the spread, people are asked to clean and inspect watercraft, trailers and gear; remove all plants, animals and mud at the access area or dock; soak gear in two per cent bleach for one minute and rinse, scrub or pressure wash your boat away from storm drains, ditches or waterways.

People should also drain all water from bait buckets, ballasts, bilges, coolers, internal compartments, livewells and transom motors on land before leaving a body of water, and never release live bait into a water body or transfer aquatic plants or animals.

The last important step is to dry watercraft and gear completely and to leave compartments open and sponge out standing water.

Lukaszuk officially enters PC leadership race EDMONTON — Edmonton legislature member Thomas Lukaszuk say he has completed all the necessary steps to officially enter the leadership race for Alberta’s Progressive Conservative party.

Lukaszuk becomes the third candidate in the contest to replace former premier Alison Redford.

He says he has collected the required 500 signatures from party members and paid the $50,000 nonrefundable deposit.

Calgary legislature member Ric McIver and former Calgary MP Jim Prentice earlier filed their papers and paid the fee.

Nominations closed Friday afternoon and no one else has publicly declared themselves a candidate.

Judge calls for investigation into funding for aboriginal youth in care EDMONTON — An Alberta judge says there should be an investigation into whether funding for aboriginal youth in the child welfare system is less than funding for non-native youth.

The judge heard evidence at a fatality inquiry that federal money for an agency charged with the care of an aboriginal teen in an Edmonton group home is 22 per cent less than funding for those who look after non-aboriginal youth.

“I recommend that the Government of Alberta investigate whether or not such a funding disparity exists and, if so, to enter into discussions with the Government of Canada to eliminate such a disparity,” provincial court Judge Kirk MacDonald wrote in his report released Friday.

The inquiry examined the 2009 stabbing death of a 17-year-old boy in Edmonton.

The teen, referred to in the report only as M, constantly ran away from his group home and was staying with an aunt the night he got into in a fight with several other teens — some armed with swords, knives and bats.

The judge says group home staff followed their rules and nothing could have been done to prevent the boy’s tragic and violent death.

BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF The province officially opened Alberta Supports Centre in Red Deer on Friday to make it easier for people to find the social supports and services they need.

Central Albertans will be directed to the centre as a first point of contact to connect with programs and services such as Alberta Seniors Benefit, Child Care Subsidy and Income Support.

“When I was Minister of Seniors and Community Supports we had a vision. This was the vision. That a person could come to one door and find whatever supports they need and not have to be sent somewhere else,” said Red Deer North MLA Mary Anne Jablonski at the opening Friday afternoon.

She said some people find it frustrating to figure out what programs are available to them and don’t know where to turn for help.

“This is the one-stop shop. This is where you’ll experience less frustration.”

The centre, located on the second floor of First Red Deer Place at 4911 51st St., has seen about 300 clients from Red Deer and the surrounding area since its doors opened at the end of March.

2-4910 45 St. Red Deer is the fifth Alberta Supports Centre to open. Ten will be operating by the end of the summer.

MONTREAL — The man charged in Quebec’s 2012 election-night shooting will pay for a lawyer out of his own pocket.

Richard Henry Bain had been fighting for months to have the province pay for his legal fees, even arguing successfully for the state to at least front him the fees he’d agreed to reimburse.

But his new defence lawyer told Quebec Superior Court Justice Guy Cournoyer on Friday the government proposal was too complex and cumbersome and that negotiations had failed.

Instead, Marcel Guerin told the court he struck a deal with his client so Bain can pay him directly, allowing the criminal case to move forward.

“I preferred to reach an agreement with him, because the administration of justice would have been a real nuisance,” Guerin said outside the courtroom.

OTTAWA — Conservative MPs rallied around Julian Fantino on Friday as critics seized on the latest ugly encounter between the embattled veterans affairs minister and a disgruntled member of the military community.

Jenifer Migneault, whose husband is a veteran with post-traumatic stress disorder, chased after Fantino after a committee meeting Thursday, urging him to stop and listen to her concerns.

“Mr. Fantino, can I talk to you as a spouse?”

Migneault called, to no avail, as the television cameras whirred.

“You’re forgetting us,” she cried.

Staff later said Fantino was unaware of Migneault, even though she hollered several times and followed him down the corridor amid a crush of reporters and photographers.

On Friday, Conservative MP Daryl Kramp described Fantino as a “caring person” who’s been known to tear up when his emotions get the better of him.

In the House of Commons, opposition parties demanded an apology from Fantino, but since the minister wasn’t there, it fell to Conservative MP Parm Gill, his parliamentary secretary, to answer on his behalf.

Everyone in Parliament knows that the minister is deeply concerned and cares about Canada’s veterans, Gill said — a claim that left Nova Scotia NDP MP Robert Chisholm dumbfounded.

“The minister expects people to believe that he did not know that Ms. Migneault was the spouse of a veteran, even though she said flat out, ’I’m just a vet’s spouse,’ while standing a few feet away,” Chisholm said.

“Instead of showing her basic courtesy, he and his staff bolted. It is pathetic. Veterans and their families are tired of being treated with this level of disdain.”

Some Republican members of Congress, according to The Times, maintain the science of global warming is a “hoax perpetrated by a global conspiracy of scientists.”

Obama mocks their beliefs “as comparable to belief in a flat Earth.”

In Canada, rising sea levels could pose an apocalyptic scenario on the West and East Coasts. The U.S. study warns sea levels could rise anywhere from 30 cm to 1.2 metres (one to four feet), and possibly as high as 1.8 metres (six feet) globally by the end of the century if greenhouse emissions continue at a rapid pace.

The report also blames climate change on the outbreak of mountain pine beetles, which are destroying millions of acres of forest in the U.S., B.C. and Central Alberta’s West Country.

These bugs proliferate under conditions of warmer winters and longer summers.

At the Columbia Icefields, Bob

Sandford, chairman of the Canadian Partnership Initiative of the UN Water for Life Decade, calls the rapid melting rate “mind boggling.” Not only has the toe of the Athabasca Glacier receded by 1.5 km since 1890, leaving behind a moonscape of rocks and gravel, that massive compilation of ice is also becoming shallower.

“I first wrote a tourist book on the Columbia Icefields in 1994 and it was generally held that it was somewhere around 325 square km.” Sandford told CP. “That icefield now is calculated to be about 220 square km. That gives you an indication how rapidly things are changing.”

We have reached a fork in the road.

Do we take the route of aggressive commitments in addressing global warming, or the other route dragging our heels and damn the future? The choice is ours.

pean elites who took it for granted that progress towards a more united Europe was inevitable.

What they now have to figure out is whether this was just a cry of rage and pain caused by six years of economic crisis and falling living standards, or whether it really is a protest against any further expansion of the “European project” — indeed, even a demand to roll it back.

The pain and rage are real enough: even six years later, few European economies are back up to where they were before the banking crisis exploded in 2008.

Unemployment is still high right across the EU, and youth unemployment is catastrophically high in some countries. (In Greece and Spain, almost half of the under25s have no work.)

If the EU’s current unpopularity is mainly due to a poor economy, then a few years of economic growth and rising incomes should make it go away.

Most of the national economies in the EU will grow at least a bit this year, and as the economic situation improves the anger should subside.

But what if the whole notion of an ever more united Europe is being rejected by the very people who were supposed to benefit from it?

As in many other parts of the world, the widening gulf between the few rich and the many whose living standards are stagnant or falling has created an incipient revolt against globalization — and the EU’s centralising tendencies are widely seen as part of that problem.

Renewed economic growth will not cure the EU’s malaise if the wealth does not trickle down to the majority.

In that case, there may ultimately have to be a retreat to a much looser form of European union.

lic safety, water and energy systems, public health and many other aspects of city life — which will boost city economies, productivity and quality of life.

Another major technology is the transition to Internet Protocol 6 (IPv6), from IPv4, which will enable literally trillions of devices to be connected to the Internet, compared to a limit of about four billion devices with IPv4.

Billions of sensor and other devices will be connected to the Internet for data collection, processing and organization into useful and actionable information. Smart buildings, smart energy, smart traffic and transit, and many other applications will be possible.

These are just two of the big technology changes that will transform how cities perform. But the key point is that the federal government, in its programs, needs to think bigger.

The federal government has a new 10-year New Building Canada Fund of $53 billion — but it should focus, with Industry Canada, on employing smart technologies in all major projects.

This cross-cutting approach is needed throughout the federal government. We want our cities to be at the leading edge of innovation, productivity and technology, since this will be both a source of new jobs and new companies and will also enable existing companies to be more competitive and cities to function more efficiently. This wealth creation will provide cities with more resources to improve quality of life.

While much of the leadership must come from cities themselves, putting our cities high on the national agenda can pay huge dividends which is why it should be a national priority.

HAY’S DAZE

Anger (n): A feeling of sudden and strong displeasure and antagonism directed against the cause of an assumed wrong or injury; wrath; ire All my life I’ve been exposed to music; all kinds, styles and expressions.

With my mother’s love of music, I learned to understand it as an expression of the heart.

One thing she said stuck with me, “If you want to know what’s in a person’s heart, listen to the music that they prefer or to the music they produce.”

Even though I’ve always been analytical, I never really took note of that statement she CHRIS made till recently; especially SALOMONS since I started at the kitchen.

When our children were young, we always told them that any music always carries a message; so they should purchase only music that builds up or encourages, not music that expresses ‘go nowhere’ negative feelings.

Many folks that come to the kitchen have some form of musical device, and before long ‘ear buds’ will form an entry in my Funk and Wagnalls dictionary.

The most common form of what they listen to (from what I can hear) is what I refer to as ‘headbanger’ style.

Especially the younger set; their choice of music and the associated lyrics in my mind have only one descriptive emotion; anger.

The music is loud and raucous; the lyrics (what I have heard of them), express many negative and oftimes vitriolic sentiments.

So much so in fact, that the governing bodies are now rating music with almost the same if not more discernment as movies.

I’m a firm believer in the fact that what we hear and see helps to shape who we become.

So, what we listen to influences our choices and decisions.

As a result, I see many of the younger people that frequent the kitchen coming in with a reclusive, closed and antagonistic attitude; ear buds in the ears, and everyone else ignored. Ignored so much in fact, that if anyone attempts to talk to them, anger appears on their face as they pull out an ear bud to listen.

Let someone say something anywhere near what this type of person does not like, and you have a full blown expression of anger.

It begs the question; “Who is teaching these kids other than Sesame Street and Led Zeppelin”?

The story in The Globe and Mail goes that two neighbors; one a psychiatrist and the other an oil executive were extremely antagonistic towards each other.

One would deposit a dog’s doo doo into the others garbage can rather than their own; even parking became an issue with one intentionally parking on the others portion of the front street.

It became so acrimonious, that it eventually ended up in court.

After many thousands of dollars had been spent on both sides, the judge made the following statement.

“You two are both professional and learned men, and simply because of your sense of entitlement and angry childish bickering you are unable to accept each other with any kind of grace; so you waste a whole day in my court with your aberrant behaviour.

What you both need is a good stern kindergarten teacher to show you how to live.” (Google this, it is real.)

If this then is what greets us on the news, how then can we expect children to be a giving part of society?

Why do we so readily reject what we know to be right and truthful in favor of demanding only our own desires?

The worst part is that those two ‘professionals’ were probably angry with the judgement they received.

Unless we as a society begin to accept the fact that we have rejected early childhood training in favor of our own sense of right and wrong, the future of our society could be a scary thing indeed.

We need a standard that is irrefutable and true; along with uplifting music with which to train our young, because the current trend just makes me positively angry.

Life and the pursuit of THE TEMPLESTAY PROGRAM IS A UNIQUE WAY TO EXPERIENCE KOREA

Minutes into my stay at the Haeinsa Temple in Mount Gaya, South Korea I knew one thing for certain – I was wearing the wrong shoes.

My issue had nothing to do with fashion and everything to do with convenience. Upon arrival, the monks and nuns toured us around the temple showing us various buildings both inside and out. Each time we entered a building we had

to remove our shoes and carefully place them in neat lines by the door. There are a lot of buildings at the Haeinsa Temple and after bending down to untie and retie my shoes multiple times, I was wishing I owned a pair of slip-on Dollar Store crocs.

Participating in a Templestay Program is one of the most unique cultural experiences you can have in Korea providing a glimpse into the fascinating religion of Korean-style Zen Buddhism and the lifestyle of the monks and nuns who devote their lives to its practice.

STORY FROM B1

KOREA: Three acceptable ways to sit during meditation I suspected that a poor choice of footwear would be the least of my problems over the next twenty four hours.

After the temple tour, we were given special brown robes to wear that distinguished us as temple stay participants and allowed us to put our old life away and live this new one. Once properly attired, we were ready for our first lessons in living the Buddhist life and we met in a special classroom where a monk trainer named Domuji educated us on the basics of the practice including everything from fundamental theology to how to properly greet someone in the temple.

“In Korea, the practice of Buddhism is different from other countries.” said Domuji through an interpreter. “It is engaged Buddism. We seek to free ourselves from our afflictions and find the inner Buddha that is within each of us.” Buddhists in Korea believe there are 108 different kinds of afflictions to overcome in this life including everything from pride to greed. Every morning Korean monks arise at 3:00 am, visit the temple and bow 108 times. This is followed by one hour of meditation performed while sitting cross legged with perfectly straight back posture.

Twice a year, the monks meditate for seven days straight without sleeping.

We spent time practising the proper way to bow — a slow, deliberate yogalike movement that takes you from an upright position to a fully prostrate one. Then we practised the proper pose for meditation.

“There are three acceptable ways to sit during meditation,” explained Domuji. “No matter which one you choose, you will find that if you are comfortable with your knees, your back will hurt. If you are comfortable with your back, your knees will hurt.

The key to the practice is to empty your mind from unnecessary thoughts and maintain a positive mind — even if something hurts.”

After our training session, we had some free time to walk around the temple and the surrounding woodland and meditate on our own.

Just before dinner, we heard a large gong and then a drumming sound and we gathered in the courtyard to watch the monks perform a fascinating drumming ceremony on a massive Taikostyle drum. The drum was played by one drummer using a figure eight pattern on the drumhead in a continuous roll of beats. Several of the younger monks took turns playing, spelling each other off so the rhythmic beating remained constant.

Shortly after the drum performance, we went to dinner — eating every last grain of rice on our plates to show respect for the earth that provided it.

The vegetarian meal was simple and eaten in complete silence. We bowed as we exited the building, to show respect to those who prepared the meal.

After dinner, we visited the temple and participated in a short session of bowing, chanting and meditation before gathering in the teaching room for tea time with our monk trainer.

This was an opportunity for us to get to know him better and ask questions.

One of the members of our group wondered if a temple stay experience could have any lasting effect on a person’s like. Domuji’s answer surprised me. It turns out he made the choice to become a monk after participating in a temple stay.

That night we slept on mats on the floor in dorm-style rooms and awoke at 3:00 am to begin our day as Korean monks. We entered the temple with its three golden statues of Buddha and kneeled on mats on the wooden floor of the temple with about 80 other monks. A monk in the middle with a deep baritone voice signalled the beginning of the morning ceremony and the monks began to chant and sing a hauntingly beautiful song and to bow 108 times.

After the ceremony, Domuji led us away to another place in the temple where we could experience an hour of meditation.

“Noble silence is a way of having a conversation with yourself,” he said.

“It is time for you to experience the practice of looking inward.”

I could still hear the other monks chanting in the main hall as I closed my eyes and reflected on the three questions every good monk ponders each day of his life: Who am I? Where was I before this life? Where will I go after this life?

While we meditated in the darkness, Domuji carefully circled the group while holding a long stick. If anyone drifted asleep, he tapped them on the shoulders with the stick. If their posture sagged, he placed the stick behind their back to cue them to sit up straighter.

After we pondered for what seemed a very long time, Domuji had each person go sit in front of the group while the others bowed before them.

“Try to see the inner Buddha inside each person,” he advised. “If you can see each other and respect each other as Buddha, you are already in paradise.”

Since returning home, I have thought about the wisdom of Domuji’s words and his quiet lessons still resonate with me. My temple stay was a unique opportunity to experience an alternate way of living that has been preserved for more than 1,700 years.

After only one day, I was certain I wasn’t cut out to be a Buddhist monk — no matter what kind of shoes I was wearing.

Woodrow Wilson House explores legacy PRESIDENT TOOK THE UNITED STATES INTO FIRST WORLD WAR BUT LATER SOUGHT PEACE

WASHINGTON — When the First World War began in 1914, President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed U.S. neutrality.

Then in 1917, he sent U.S. troops to Europe.

After the war, he worked to create a lasting peace, and in 1919, he won the Nobel Peace Prize.

This summer marks 100 years since the start of the First World War, and those with an interest in America’s role in the Great War and its aftermath can learn more about Wilson’s life and legacy on a guided tour of the President Woodrow Wilson House in Washington, where he lived after leaving office.

In his postwar efforts, Wilson championed principles like self-determination and independence, and he was the leading founder of the League of Nations, forerunner to the United Nations.

“The main thing we want people to understand is that Wilson imagined the world at peace, and he proposed a plan for achieving that vision,” said Stephanie Daugherty, associate manager and curator at the President Woodrow Wilson House.

The house on S Street just north of Dupont Circle is a unique destination in its own right as the home of the only president who retired in Washington after leaving office.

Wilson and his wife Edith bought the brick Georgian Revival house with arched windows and a columned entrance in 1920 as his second term ended.

Wilson was partially paralyzed by a stroke in 1919, and though not in a wheelchair, he had trouble walking, so an elevator was installed for him.

He died in 1924, but his widow lived in the home until her death in 1961.

The house has been restored with furnishings and memorabilia dating to the era when Wilson lived there.

Artifacts on display include an artillery shell casing from the first shots fired by U.S. troops on European soil.

The commanders sent it to Wilson as a “fitting souvenir,” and he kept it on his mantle “as a reminder of his obligation to those troops” to work for peace, Daugherty said.

Also on exhibit is a pen with a feminine, mother-of-pearl design that Wilson used to sign the declaration of war.

He didn’t have a pen handy when asked to sign the order, so he borrowed it from his wife.

The drawing room displays a mosaic of St. Peter that was given to Wilson by Pope Benedict XV when Wilson became the first sitting president to meet with a pope, in 1919.

And a Gobelin tapestry given by the people of France to the Wilsons in 1917 hangs on the wall; Edith Wilson wanted to buy the house partly because it had space for the tapestry.

The tour begins with a 17-minute movie about Wilson’s life.

He was born in Virginia — his birthplace there is the Woodrow Wilson Presidential Library — and grew up in Georgia and South Carolina, the son of a Presbyterian minister.

Wilson was a lawyer with a Ph.D. in history and political science; he served as president

of Princeton University and governor of New Jersey before winning the presidency.

His first wife, Ellen, mother of their three daughters, died in the White House in 1914.

The tour includes a look at third-floor bedrooms and a basement kitchen.

And through Aug. 10, a first-floor gallery hosts Images of the Great War, an exhibit of prints and drawings from the European front.

On June 18, 6 p.m.-7:30 p.m., a program is scheduled on songs from the First World War. One surprising fact the tour reveals is how the house was paid for.

In those days former presidents did not command large sums for lectures and books like they do now, and Wilson didn’t come from wealth, though he had some savings from his nearly $50,000 Nobel award.

But the only way they could buy the $150,000 home was by having 10 friends donate $10,000 each.

The house is maintained by the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

’Hawks force Game 7 KANE SETS UP TYING GOAL, SCORES WINNER

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Chicago 4 Los Angeles 3 LOS ANGELES — Patrick Kane skated to a patch of open ice near the painted Stanley Cup logo and fired a long, low shot at the Los Angeles net, hoping to hit an invisible hole.

His Chicago Blackhawks teammates weren’t shocked when he found it.

Kane’s career has been defined by his brilliance in the Blackhawks’ biggest moments, and his tiebreaking goal with 3:45 to play in Game 6 of the Western Conference finals will rank among the best.

Kane scored two goals and set up Duncan Keith’s tying score with 8:26 left, and the Blackhawks forced a decisive seventh game with a 4-3 victory over the Los Angeles Kings on Friday.

After two straight elimination wins, the Blackhawks are heading home with a chance to advance.

Kane had one point in the series’ first four games before scoring seven more in Chicago’s consecutive elimination victories.

“It’s amazing what he can do in these big games when our season is on the line,” Chicago captain Jonathan Toews said about Kane. “Nobody else seems to be able to do it the same way he does. It’s pretty amazing.”

Game 7 is in Chicago on Sunday night. The winner gets the New York Rangers, who eliminated Montreal on Thursday night.

The defending Stanley Cup champion Blackhawks avoided elimination for the second straight game in an already memorable playoff series between two NHL powers at the top of their games.

Both teams blew late leads in the third period, and Drew Doughty was primed to be Los Angeles’ hero with a tying goal and a tiebreaking assist on Alec Martinez’s score with 12:22 left. But after Kane took control, Corey Crawford came up with several late saves as Chicago hung on.

“We get the privilege of playing with a guy like that every day and seeing what he can do,” Keith said of Kane.

“You know when it comes down to crunch time, him and Johnny (Toews),

I don’t know if there are two other guys I’d rather have on my team.”

The conference finals rematch between the NHL’s last two champions will be decided in a winner-take-all

Game 7 — the third of the post-season for the Kings, who are 6-0 in elimination games this spring.

Crawford made 26 saves and exchanged harsh words with counterpart

Jonathan Quick as the Blackhawks won for the ninth time in their last 11 elimination games.

Bouchard, Raonic move on to fourth round at French Open

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS PARIS — Despite a couple of hiccups, Eugenie Bouchard had little trouble advancing to the fourth round of the French Open.

Fellow Canadian Milos Raonic joined her, but his road to the second week at Roland Garros was more gruelling.

Raonic battled to win the fourth five-set match of his career Friday as he overcame crowd favourite Gilles Simon 4-6, 6-3, 2-6, 6-2, 7-5 to become the first Canadian men’s singles player to advance past the third round in Paris.

Earlier, Bouchard recovered from early breaks in both sets as she beat Swede Johanna Larsson 7-5, 6-4.

Raonic, the men’s No. 8 seed from Thornhill, Ont., needed more than three hours to beat France’s Simon.

After the match Raonic called the win one of the biggest of his career.

“This win is definitely up there,” he said. “It’s a new territory I’m putting myself in at this tournament, because I was able to fight and get through in important moments and give myself an opportunity to win.

“There’s still a lot more work to do, but it’s a good thing. But I’m not really overly excited about it. There is a lot more I want to do, so I’m just really fo-

cused in the moment.”

Raonic fired 19 aces but rode a roller coaster as he was broken while serving for victory.

But the 23-year-old then broke Simon to go up 6-5, and earned the victory in the ensuing game when Simon hit a long return on match point.

Raonic advanced with 60 winners and six of 12 break points converted, but also committed 74 unforced errors.

“It was just incredible to play a tough opponent like Gilles, I’m very content with this win,” said Raonic.

“We were on court a long time and I’m a bit tired. When I was broken serving for it, I just told myself I had to break back and go from there. I stayed calm.

“This is my first fourth round here and it’s a very important win for me.

It’s also my first in a big showcourt like this at a Grand Slam. It’s all super for me, I want to continue.”

The 18th-seeded Bouchard, an Australian Open semifinalist earlier this year, showed fighting spirit in winning her 84-minute match with the 99thranked Larsson in the pair’s first meeting.

“I started a little slow, I was just a bit rusty on the court,” said Bouchard.

“But I didn’t worry or anything on the court.

Montreal Olympics a highlight for hall-of-famer Sloan Kelsey

BY GREG MEACHEM ADVOCATE SPORTS EDITOR As she prepared to compete in the 1976 Montreal Summer Olympics, Stettler native Susan Sloan Kelsey secretly wished that the international sports spectacle was at a foreign venue.

But she quickly dismissed those feelings when she arrived at the Olympics, where winning a medal in the pool was the highlight of her extremely successful swimming career.

“Competing in Montreal was very special. At first I thought ‘it’s too bad we don’t get to travel’, but having the

Olympics on home soil was fantastic,” Sloan Kelsey said Friday, prior to being inducted into the Alberta Sports Hall of Fame during a dinner and ceremony at the Red Deer Sheraton.

“It was my first international event and we were able to win Canada’s Susan Sloan Kelsey first medal of those Games. It was the first time Canada had hosted the Olympics so it was

really special to win on home territory.”

Sloan Kelsey was referring to the bronze medallion won by herself and her 4x100 metre medley relay teammates Debbie Clarke, Wendy CookHogg, Robin Corsiglia and Anne Jardin.

“We touch base by e-mail once in awhile, so I keep in touch with them that way,” she said. “The Canadian team was made up of a great group of kids. Canada had a really strong swimming program in ‘76. Canada won 11 medals at those Olympics and eight of them were in the pool.”

Sloan Kelsey took up swimming at the age of nine and by the age of 15 she was breaking Canadian records.

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

“Stettler’s swimming pool was built in 1967 and the swim team was formed at that time,” she said. “That’s where I first started. Our first coach in Stettler, Larry Nielsen, was absolutely fantastic. He was a real stroke technician and he gave me the basics to help me succeed throughout my swimming career.”

One of Sloan Kelsey’s swim teammates in Stettler was Barb Clark (Parolin), who also enjoyed international success — winning bronze in the 4x100 free relay at Montreal — and was inducted into the Alberta Sports Hall of Fame two years ago.

Gordon, Cain homer as Royals dump Jays

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Kansas City 6 Toronto 1 TORONTO — The Kansas City Royals and Toronto Blue Jays both had plenty of opportunities to score runs Friday night.

The Royals took advantage of their chances while the Blue Jays came up empty.

Alex Gordon and Lorenzo Cain homered as Kansas City defeated Toronto 6-1 on a glorious spring evening at Rogers Centre. Jose Bautista went deep for the Blue Jays, who left 14 men on base and were outhit 9-8.

Jason Vargas outduelled J.A. Happ in Kansas City’s second straight victory over the Blue Jays, who had their ninegame winning streak end a night earlier. Toronto (32-24) was a woeful 0 for 10 with runners in scoring position. “When you get on one of those hot streaks that we were on, we were cashing those in,� said Blue Jays manager John Gibbons. “But Vargas was really, really good.�

The Kansas City starter allowed seven hits and one earned run over six innings. Gordon homered in the fourth and Cain added another two-run shot in the eighth to knock Happ out of the game.

Despite the loss, Toronto maintained its 2 ½-game lead on secondplace New York in the American League East division standings after the Yankees dropped a 6-1 decision to Minnesota.

The Blue Jays entered this fourgame series on an offensive tear, piling up the runs over three straight series sweeps. The trick will be keeping that win streak hangover to a minimum. “When you win nine games in a row, you expect to come out the next day and win,� said Toronto catcher Erik Kratz. “That mentality hasn’t changed the last two nights. We were a couple inches away last night from winning and tonight we were a couple hits away from being back in this game.�

After the game, the Blue Jays announced that top prospect Marcus Stroman had been recalled from triple-A Buffalo and would start Saturday

afternoon. “We want to see him as a starter,�

Gibbons said. “He’s been really good down there this year and this is his opportunity.�

Toronto looked ready to do some damage in the first inning after Jose Reyes led off with a triple and Bautista reached on a walk. But like he did all night, Vargas snuffed out the threat. “I feel something like that hopefully sets the tone for the game and fires us up,� he said. “We were able to get a run the next inning and keep it moving from there.�

Kansas City (26-28) padded its lead when Gordon smacked his fourth home run of the season. That was more than enough offence for Vargas (5-2), who allowed seven hits, one earned run and three walks while striking out seven.

Bautista gave the crowd of 21,543 a charge in the fifth with his 14th home run of the season. Edwin Encarnacion followed with a two-out walk but Brett Lawrie of Langley, B.C., struck out.

Happ (4-2) was tagged for six earned runs and nine hits over 7 2/3 innings.

PGA

DUBLIN, Ohio — Paul Casey expected to be chasing someone Friday in the Memorial, figuring it would be Rory McIlroy.

After two holes, Casey had the lead to himself at Muirfield Village, and that was only the start of another big day. He took advantage of the par 5s for another 6-under 66, giving him a three-shot lead over Masters champion Bubba Watson going into the weekend.

McIlroy, whose 63 was the lowest first round in the 39-year history of the tournament, was barely in the picture.

He was 15 shots worse with a 78, courtesy of three straight double bogeys and his fourth straight PGA Tour event

with a nine-hole score of 40 or higher.

McIlroy went from a three-shot lead to nine shots behind. “To be honest, I thought I was going to be playing a round to try and maybe catch a couple of guys,� Casey said. “I woke up checking the scores to see what Rory was going to be. That’s really what I was going to be doing -- see how many under I was going to have to try to shoot to chase. Obviously, that didn’t happen.�

Casey, taking another step on a long road back from injuries that nearly derailed his career, was at 12-under 132.

He made his first birdie with his

TENNIS: Bouchard recovered

NHL: Blackhawks pressed for tying goal Chicago trailed 3-1 in the conference finals after its second straight loss at Staples Center on Monday, but the Blackhawks prolonged the series with an epic double-overtime victory in Game 5. “I’m frustrated, but I’m over it pretty quickly,� said Quick, who made 21 saves. “And we’ve got another game to play, Game 7. We’ve had two chances to close out this series, and we are not going to blow a third one.�

Doughty played 26 minutes in another dynamic game for the Kings, who were less than nine minutes away from their second trip to the Stanley Cup finals in three years before Kane outdid Doughty.

Chicago led 2-1 entering the third after getting goals from Kane and Ben Smith early in the second period, and Staples Center echoed with worry until Doughty tied it with 14:28 left.

The Kings’ dominant defenceman took the puck from the point into the slot and fired a wrist shot past a screened Corey Crawford for his third goal in four games.

Doughty then collected the puck during a power play and fed Martinez for a low shot through traffic, putting the Kings ahead 3-2 and setting off a deafening celebration.

But the Blackhawks pressed for a tying goal, and got it when Keith beat Quick with 8:26 left. With the crowd hushed again, Kane dangled and scored the winner.

Kane is a familiar nightmare for Kings fans: He won last season’s Conn Smythe Trophy largely because of his dominance against Los Angeles in the conference finals. But Kane was just one problem for Los Angeles’ normally solid defence, which gave up numerous scoring chances. “I feel like I’m a broken record here, but we’ve got to be sharp in our own end,� Martinez said. “We weren’t making plays that we normally make.

We’ve got to be quick to contact on them. We weren’t very sharp.�

“I still had a lot of confidence in myself just to get my groove, and after a few games I started playing much better and really got into the match. The whole match I felt very comfortable and confident. “(Larsson) plays well, and especially on clay. So it was it was definitely tough.�

She is the first Canadian woman since Aleksandra Wozniak to get this far in Paris.

Bouchard finished with 27 winners and 30 unforced errors, breaking on six of 11 chances while losing serve four times.

Montreal’s Bouchard lost the opening game but recovered nicely to take a 5-3 first-set lead. She got into trouble as Larsson levelled for 5-all but claimed the set with a break for 7-5 on her third set point.

The Canadian lost serve in the third game of the second, breaking back in the fourth to tie the set at 2.

Bouchard earned a 4-2 lead as she move on to victory, with Larsson donating a double-fault for a second match point before volleying a forehand return low into the net.

Next up for Bouchard is German eighth seed Angelique Kerber, who beat Daniela Hantuchova 7-5, 6-3. “I’m just trying to enjoy every moment, believe in myself, and I know that I have a chance,� Bouchard said. “Every time I walk on the court I have a chance to win. “It’s going to be important to try to start strong in my next match, no matter what.�

Heat return to finals

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

best drive of the day on the par-5 11th, setting up a 4-iron onto the green for a two-putt birdie. He made eagle on the par-5 15th hole for the second straight day, and he stuffed it close around the turn for birdies to start pulling away from the field.

Watson gave him a good run in an active round that featured six birdies, five bogeys and an eagle. He only was angry at a few shots where he failed to concentrate. Even so, a bogey-bogey finish wasn’t enough to entirely ruin his day. Watson has never finished better than 23rd in eight previous appearances. “I can’t look at the bogeys,� Watson said. “I’ve got to look at where I’m at.

If you told me it’s my best two days around this golf course, I’d take it.�

Miami 117 Indiana 92 MIAMI — For the entirety of the regular season, the supremacy of the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference was brought into serious question by the Indiana Pacers.

Then came the playoffs.

And the question was answered — emphatically.

The Heat became the third franchise in NBA history to reach the title series in four consecutive seasons, a laugher of a conference-title finale getting them there again Friday night.

LeBron James and Chris Bosh each scored 25 points, and Miami eliminated the Pacers for the third straight year with a 117-92 romp in Game 6 of the East championship series. “I’m blessed. Very blessed. Very humbled,� James said. “And we won’t take this opportunity for granted. It’s an unbelievable franchise, it’s an unbelievable group. And we know we still have work to do, but we won’t take this for granted. We’re going to four straight Finals and we will never take this for granted.�

Dwyane Wade and Rashard Lewis each scored 13 points for Miami, which trailed 9-2 before ripping off 54 of the next 75 points to erase any doubt by halftime. The Heat set a franchise record with their 11th straight home post-season win, going back to the final two games of last season’s NBA Finals, leading by 37 at one point. “The group loves to compete and loves to compete at the highest level, and be pushed to new levels,� Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said.

Indiana led the East for much of the regular season, one where the Pacers were fueled by the memory of losing Game 7 of the East finals in Miami a year ago. So they spent this season with a clear goal: Toppling Miami as kings of the East.

The Pacers were two games better in the regular season.

Both Larry and Derek were fantastic coaches. “Larry taught us the basics, the fundamentals of strokes, and that stuck with both Barb and I through our careers.�

Sloan Kelsey, who was runner-up in the 100m butterfly at the 1974 Canadian championship, enrolled at Arizona State University on an athletic scholarship following the Montreal Olympics and excelled at the NCAA level. She was also a member of the bronze-medal winning 4x100 free relay team at the 1978 world championship and competed for Canada in the 1979 Pan American Games.

Sloan Kelsey, who was named to the Canadian team for the 1980 Olympics in Los Angeles but stayed at home when Canada joined a boycott of the Games, graduated from Arizona State in 1982 with a degree in physical education. She then attended law school

at the University of British Columbia and is currently a practising attorney in Comox, B.C. “I’ve lived in Comox with my family for 20 years and it’s always great to get back to Alberta,� she said. “I have fond memories of Red Deer. When I was growing up in Stettler we used to come to the indoor pool in Red Deer to swim on Sunday afternoons. It was a good family outing.�

Also inducted into the Alberta Sports Hall of Fame Friday were builders Don Phelps (hockey), Dr. Gary Bowie (multisport), Don Horwood (basketball) and Phyllis Sadoway (ringette), former athletes Keith Morgan (judo) and Carol Huynh (wrestling), the 2000 Canadian synchronized swim team, the Broder’s Chinook basketball teams from 1958-1962 (Pioneer Award) and Bell Memorial Award (media) winner Rod Phillips. gmeachem@reddeeeradvocate.com

Vanier Woods condo project delayed

BY HARLEY RICHARDS ADVOCATE BUSINESS EDITOR A delay in completing a major residential project in Vanier Woods has created a headache for the developer.

Mason Martin Homes received site development approval from Red Deer’s municipal planning commission in 2007 to build 38 townhouse units at 150 Vanier Dr. A second phase was to add a threestorey condominium on the southeast corner of the lot.

The townhouses were built and sold, but when Mason Martin Homes recently applied to the city for site development approval for the condo project, it

was told the remaining land is not big enough to meet the minimum site area or landscaping requirements set out in Red Deer’s land use bylaw.

This week, the city’s municipal planning commission considered the matter.

It heard that significant relaxations are needed for Mason Martin Homes’ project to satisfy the bylaw’s requirements, and that administration is recommending that the application be refused.

Hugh MacBeth, president of Mason Martin Homes, explained that the townhouse phase included a large park area that more than satisfied the land and landscaping requirements for the combined area.

But when the townhouse land was subdivided from the condo land in 2008, this changed.

“The two parcels have to be treated as two parcels, even though on the surface, or geographically, they appear to be together,” pointed out city development officer Martin Kvapil.

MacBeth said he would have kept a portion of the townhouse park area with the condo land had he realized this.

He added that the downturn in the economy slowed the sale of the townhouse units and led to a delay in the condo project.

“It’s really unfortunate that I should be faced with this right now, because I did put in a large enough park to

Second Tim Hortons on south Gaetz a go

BY HARLEY RICHARDS ADVOCATE BUSINESS EDITOR Tim Hortons has decided to double down on the south end of Gaetz Avenue.

David Carter, director of real estate planning with TDL Group Corp. — the licensing company for Tim Hortons franchises — confirmed by email on Friday that a Tim’s will be developed in Bower Plaza.

That 2325 Gaetz Ave. site is only a stone’s throw from an existing Tim Hortons at 5111 22nd St. The future of the proposed restaurant was uncertain after Red Deer’s municipal planning commission voted by a narrow margin on April 23 that a 150-metre-long sidewalk or asphalt trail be developed along the west side of Bower Plaza as a condition of its approval.

A representative for Tim Hortons had argued that the costly walkway was an excessive requirement, since it was not needed to serve the proposed restaurant and had not been asked for when previous, more substantive

accommodate everything, and I have plenty of landscaping.”

MacBeth added that the combined project’s layout is essentially the same as a similar townhouse and condo development that Mason Martin Homes previously built in Inglewood.

He also pointed out that he has a letter from the condominium association representing the townhouse owners indicating that it does not object to the condo project.

The commission decided to table the application for up to two weeks so that it can consider that letter and other information related to the application, and for MacBeth to discuss the issue further with administration. hrichards@reddeeradvocate.com

changes were made to Bower Plaza.

City administration said the walkway was needed to connect to a planned extension of Red Deer’s trail system to the south. Staff said the change in both the use and the intensity of use of the premises — which were previously occupied by Polar Jewellers — allowed for the imposition of conditions to bring the property up to current development standards.

The developer was given the choice of pouring either a 1.5-metre sidewalk or a three-metre asphalt trail, with the city to share in the cost if the latter option was selected.

Carter said at the time that his company would have to assess the cost of the additional work before deciding whether to proceed.

But on Friday, he said a building permit would be sought in the next week, and if it’s obtained work on the restaurant would begin as soon as possible.

The original application for the restaurant indicated that it would have seating for 50 people and offer walk-in service only. hrichards@reddeeradvocate.com

$12.1B deficit for the year puts Ottawa ahead of budget

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Higher tax revenues helped lift the federal treasury to the best fiscal position since the recession, putting the Harper government on track to eliminate the deficit within a year.

The Finance Department said Friday its preliminary calculation of the just completed fiscal year shows the deficit shrinking by more than $6 billion to $12.1 billion.

Although the final number won’t be known for some time, the current standing puts the Conservative government well ahead of pace to beat the budgeted deficit for the year of $16.6 billion.

As expected, the final month of the fiscal year, March, saw a huge deficit of $6.7 billion after three consecutive monthly surpluses, but that did not detract from what has been a positive year for the Harper government in its efforts to return to a balanced budget.

After posting an $18.7 billion deficit in 2012-13, analysts now expect this year’s shortfall will shrink to the $12-billion range.

Finance Minister Joe Oliver said this week he is confident he will be

operating in surplus by the time he tables his first budget next spring, and the last before the anticipated 2015 election campaign. Previously, he estimated he could have as much as $9 billion to play with.

Returning to surplus is critical for the Harper Conservatives since it would allow them to finally fulfil an election pledge of four years ago and introduce income splitting or other tax cuts in time for the next campaign, expected in the fall of 2015.

The government has taken great pride in its ability to have reduced taxes even at a time of recession and slow growth, while maintaining a relatively healthy fiscal position. It was helped by a Parliamentary Budget Officer report this week, which calculated taxes on Canadians had been cut by over $30 billion since 2005. In Friday’s report, the Finance Department attributed the improved fiscal position to a strong 5.2 per cent pick up in tax revenues — amounting to a $13.2 billion gain over last year. Most of the revenue increases came from personal taxes and GST receipts. Program expenses also rose, but at a more moderate 2.8 per cent pace, or $6.8 billion more than last year.

more than half of minimum-wage earners are under 25, and many work in the accommodation and food-services industries.

Minimum wage is meant to give students and others new to the workforce a foothold in the world of work.

It is about getting job experience, work skills, extra income and savings for further education and training.

Minimum wage is the minimum amount employers must pay workers in Alberta, but there are a few exceptions, including: ● farm or ranch workers; ● securities salespersons; ● real estate brokers; ● insurance salespeople; ● students in approved work-experience programs or training courses; ● counsellors/instructors at nonprofit camps; and ● extras in film or video production.

Alberta’s Employment Standards also includes a minimum weekly wage

MARKETS CLOSE TORONTO — The Toronto stock market was slightly higher amid data showing severe winter weather taking a bigger than expected bite out of Canadian economic growth and a slowing in U.S. consumer spending.

The S&P/TSX composite index had been negative for most of the session but late-day gains in energy and gold companies helped push the market up 15.21 points to 14,604.16.

The Canadian dollar closed down of 0.05 of a cent at 92.23 cents US as Statistics Canada said gross domestic product advanced at an annualized pace of just 1.2 per cent in the first quarter.

Economists had expected a gain of about 1.8 per cent. On a monthly basis, GDP was up 0.1 per cent in March, in line with expectations.

U.S. markets finished the session narrowly mixed amid lacklustre consumer data.

Consumer spending slipped 0.1 per cent in April, the first decline in a year, after having jumped one per cent in March, the biggest gain since the summer of 2009.

“Call this payback from the upwardly revised one per cent jump in the prior month and the quarter, for that matter,” said BMO Capital Markets senior economist Jennifer Lee. “Still, this is not a good way to start what should be a strong Q2,” Lee said.

The Dow Jones industrials was up 18.43 points to 16,717.17, the Nasdaq fell 5.33 points to 4,242.62 and the S&P 500 index added 3.54 points to 1,923.57.

The TSX lost 104 points or 0.7 per cent this past week, largely because of sliding mining stocks.

The gold sector has fallen about five per cent over the past week while base metals have shed more than three per cent.

Gold prices in particular have been under heavy pressure, losing 3.5 per cent this week with markets feeling more comfortable about the Ukraine crisis and more concerned about deflation rather than inflation, particularly in Europe.

Also, it is widely expected that European Central Bank president Mario Draghi will announce measures on Thursday aimed at raising inflation from

very low levels and encouraging what has been a lacklustre economic recovery.

That speculation has sent the euro lower and the U.S. dollar higher.

Gold prices have suffered because a stronger greenback makes it more expensive for holders of other currencies to buy gold and other commodities, which are dollar-denominated.

“I don’t think it’s going to be catastrophic for gold but . . . I don’t see gold having many catalysts to the upside here,” said Bob Gorman, chief portfolio strategist at TD Waterhouse.

There was also a major development in Valeant Pharmaceuticals’ (TSX:VRX) hostile bid for Botox maker Allergan.

The Montreal-area company has raised its offer for Allergan to US$72 in cash and 0.83 shares of Valeant common stock for each Allergan share.

That’s up from an offer of US$58.30 and 0.83 of a Valeant share made just days ago. The deal values Allergan at about US$183.25 per share or US$54.5 billion. Valeant shares rose $2.23 to C$142.34 in Toronto.

Bombardier shares fell nine cents or 2.38 per cent to $3.69 on very heavy volume of 25.4 million shares after it said the test flight program for its new CSeries jetliner has been grounded.

The move was announced after what Bombardier called “an engine-related incident” on one of the aircraft during ground maintenance testing in Mirabel, north of Montreal.

The TSX made been in negative territory for most of the day but the gold sector strengthened late in the afternoon to a gain of about 1.45 per cent as the August gold contract faded $11.10 to US$1,246 an ounce.

Energy stocks also revived, up 0.34 per cent as the June crude oil contract lost 87 cents to US$102.71 a barrel.

The TSX base metals sector led the way lower Friday, down 1.15 per cent as the July copper contract lost two cents to US$3.12 a pound.

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — The brutal winter iced Canada’s recovery to the worst growth rate in more than a year as businesses held off on investments and many other key sectors shrank or recorded weak gains.

Statistics Canada said Friday that the country’s gross domestic product advanced to 1.2 per cent, about a half a point below economists’ expectations for the first quarter of the year.

That’s not as bad as the one per cent retreat recorded in the United States, but it was the weakest since the fourth quarter of 2012.

“Frankly, it only looked good in comparison to what happened in the U.S.,” said Bank of Montreal chief economist Doug Porter.

“It was a pretty weak quarter all around, there’s not many positives,” he said.

Porter noted that the bottom-line number was flattered by the deep dive in imports, which meant trade made a positive contribution despite the fact that exports fell.

The hope going forward — and the expectation of many economists — is that the better weather in the spring months will help heat up Canada’s eco-

nomic activity, including getting shoppers back into the malls and business finally investing in expansion and productivity improvements.

But David Madani of Capital Economics noted that the March growth rate, the last month of the quarter, only came in at 0.1 per cent over February’s, so even that hope may be optimistic.

There were few things to cheer in the Statistics Canada report and markets reacted by dropping the Canadian dollar 0.18 of a cent to 92.1 cents US after its report.

But the major strength in the economy remained Canada’s resource sector, particularly the oil patch. Mining and oil and gas extraction grew a robust 2.4 per cent in the first quarter over the previous quarter, while utilities increased by 1.2 per cent.

Statistics Canada revised downward the fourth quarter growth rate from the previously reported 2.9 to 2.7 per cent, and January’s strong 0.5 per cent GDP reading was trimmed back to 0.4.

For the Bank of Canada, which had expected a growth rate of 1.5 per cent for the quarter, the news was likely not bad enough to change its rather dovish stance on the economy, although Madani said governor Stephen Poloz should not be so quick to take rate cuts completely off the table.

S halom’s SpringGala

Saturday, May 31, 2014

Story and Photos by Shalom Counselling Centre Staff A total of $20,000 was raised on Saturday, April 26, to help individuals and families in Central Alberta find hope for their emotional and relational challenges.

Over 200 people gathered at Balmoral Bible Chapel to support families through our annual Spring Gala. Cindy Palin joined us from Olds to bring inspiration to the audience through her musical entertainment.

Phil Callaway wrapped up the evening with his ‘laugh and learn presentation’ on Investing in Good Mental Health and Family Life.

“Scrumptious, delicious, decadent” were some of the many comments received about the array of fine desserts set out for everyone to enjoy.

Silent auction bidders had over 75 fabulous items to choose from; some causing bidding wars.

Thank you to the many individuals and businesses who helped make this event a huge success. Our 30 volunteers were invaluable in planning, promoting and implementing the evening.

This June marks 15 years of Shalom offering counselling services to over 4,000 families in Central Alberta. In the first year (1999) we served about 80 families.

That number has grown to where we anticipate assisting 850 families in 2014. In January and February of this year alone we saw 94 new families begin counselling.

All counsellors are trained to a minimum Masters Level within their respective designation.

Fees are set on a sliding fee scale based on household income. With continuing support from the community we are able to offer quality help at a cost that is affordable.

Shalom also continues to expand the preventative education work, focused on Family Life and Wellness Education.

Check www.shalomcounselling.com this summer for our fall line up of courses.

Our doors to hope and peace are open to anyone seeking to pursue a healthy emotional and relational life. Thank you to those who are partnering with us to fulfill our vision of ‘Helping Our Neighbours Find Peace’.

BY MYLES FISH ADVOCATE STAFF It is slow, slow going for the fundraising efforts of those trying to bring a residential treatment facility for youth with drug and alcohol addictions to Central Alberta.

Almost two years since the McMan Youth, Family and Community Services Association began its quest to raise money for such an institution, less than $5,000 in funding has been secured. The non-profit would like to set up a facility outside of Red Deer where youth could stay for one month or more while receiving support and counselling.

“What we were looking at originally was an acreage within 20 min-

utes of town so that we’re secluded enough so that kids aren’t going to walk off too easily, but far enough out of town to be away from any triggers they might have and make for a more relaxing, peaceful setting,” said Christine Stewart, program manager with McMan. The problem is that to acquire something of the sort is not exactly cheap, with projected costs in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Yet the organization is not intending to build Rome in a day, it just needs around $50,000 to enable a down payment and get the capital piece off the ground. McMan began fundraising for the down payment in late 2012, with an initial goal to have the home operational soon after.

Stewart said McMan has received grant funding in recent years, but has directed those monies to more established programs.

While it has developed policies and procedures and trained staff for what it envisions to be a six-bed treatment facility, without substantial corporate sponsorship or a government partnership, it will likely continue to focus on its other offerings.

One of those programs is Protection of Children Abusing Drugs (PChAD), a 10-day, fivebed detox program for teens contracted by Alberta Health Services.

PChAD allows parents of a minor who is abusing alcohol or drugs to apply to provincial court for an apprehension and confinement order for

detox.

What McMan wants to put together would be a step up from PChAD — a home that is not lockeddown where youth can stay for longer, away from triggers. There are three existing residential treatment programs in Calgary, Edmonton and Lethbridge, which Central Albertans are able to access for three months at a time.

“There are a lot of kids who need help, and sometimes outpatient services aren’t what you need when your problems are right in your neighbourhood, whether it’s at home or the friends you hang out with. You’ve got habits, you’ve got triggers right there. It’s hard to make new habits in the middle of your old ones,” said Stewart.

“Some kids, they just truly need at least 30 days separate from that to get clean. ... You can’t just decide you’re going to give up drugs with no plan on how you’re going to do it.”

Stewart said she has met with potential funders and government representatives to push for funding and attempt to secure an existing, vacant facility. In the meantime, McMan is continuing to fundraise.

Its next event is an Amazing Race that will take place on June 7 at Westerner Park. The event will feature food, cultural and athletic challenges, and is open to teams of two.

Anyone interested in signing up can contact Stewart at 403-309-2002. mfish@reddeeradvocate.com

TREE PLANTING

ESRD OPEN HOUSE

BY ADVOCATE STAFF Forty-four attendees from various industries, environmental groups and communities shared their vision for the developing North Saskatchewan Regional Plan in Rocky Mountain House on Tuesday.

Hosted by Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development, the workshop was one of 21 planned in the first round of public consultation about the draft terms of reference for the long-term plan.

The regional plan sets out the approach for managing the lands and natural resources to reach the province’s long-term environmental, economic and social goals. In Rocky, attendees shared points about the vision and outcomes, wildlife and biodiversity, land, water, air, culture and recreation, economy, agriculture and tourism, energy and the environment.

Some commented that the vision was too broad while others thought the broad statements are good at this point in the planning process.

The North Saskatchewan Region is bordered by Saskatchewan to the east, British Columbia to the west, the Upper Athabasca and the Lower Athabasca regions to the north and the South Saskatchewan and Red Deer regions to the south.

Other meetings in Central Alberta include Caroline, June 4 at the Dovercourt Community Centre at the intersection of Hwy 22 and Township Road 372, and Red Deer, June 25 at the Sheraton Hotel.

Each day there will be two workshop sessions: one goes from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and one from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. No RSVP is required.

The first phase of consultations will wrap up on June 26 in Edmonton. The plan will be developed in three phases involving public consultation, advisory councils and cabinet approvals.

More information is available at https://landuse. alberta.ca/RegionalPlans/NorthSaskatchewanRegion/Pages/default.aspx

Josh Cervantes jumps into his work as he and his St. Thomas Aquinas Middle School Grade 8 classmates work to plant hundreds of young trees and berry bushes in the park on Friday afternoon. Other classes in the school also spent the day doing service projects in the community. Sixth and seventh grade classes were reading to the elderly, and Grade 9 students were cleaning up the community picking up trash. The City of Red Deer provided the tools and trees and helped the students with the planing in the Clearview wetlands area.

Wildlife centre comes to the rescue of moose calf

BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF Medicine River Wildlife Centre tried to reunite a moose calf with its mother using recordings that mimic the plaintive distress call of a lost moose calf.

The centre came to the rescue of a young moose calf separated from its mother in a rural community of Bearspaw on the western edge of Calgary this week.

The calf, less than a week old, was exhausted and stressed after running around in a commercial area.

Alberta Fish and Wildlife in Calgary contacted the Innisfail-area wildlife centre for help on Tuesday.

Wildlife Centre executive director Carol Kelly said she arrived in time to advise officers on the scene on how to best catch the calf. A Medicine River staff member from Cochrane worked Tuesday evening to stabilize the animal.

On Wednesday morning, an attempt was made

MEDICINE RIVER to reunite the moose with her calf.

Medicine River brought the calf to an area where a Bearspaw resident believed she spotted the calf and its mother earlier in the week and where the adult moose had also returned alone after her calf went missing.

A moose call that imitated a distressed calf was used, but the mother didn’t appear.

They returned Thursday morning to try again, with no luck.

Kelly said the moose call, that moose can hear from over one km away, certainly worked well on humans.

“It is a plaintive call,” Kelly said about the call that had humans running to help.

The calf was brought to Medicine River Wildlife Centre on Thursday and a new moose mother will be found to adopt the calf.

“One of the things we specialize in is getting them back to their origi-

nal parents no matter what species of wildlife it is. If that’s not possible, then we find foster families. It’s called reuniting or fostering. This method is catching fire right across North America.”

Kelly said a few years ago the centre gave a talk on reuniting at a conference and is now regularly asked to speak at conferences. Staff spoke at a conference in Nashville earlier this year.

“The Humane Society of the United States strongly endorses it to the point where they have sponsored some of the presentations at the conferences.”

She said moose and their calves don’t often get separated in the bush. They are more often separated due to “interruption by city.”

“If baby or mom gets scared by a car, they go in opposite directions. It could be somebody’s dog chased them. There are just so many things.”

A moose calf that has been separated from its mother will be housed at Medicine River Wildlife Centre until another mother is located. will be put in the ungulate enclosure on Medicine River property until another mother is located.

The calf might end up being adopted by a female moose who is known to visit the centre’s property. Last year she adopted a calf at the centre.

“Last year we saw her walking through towards the area of the ungulate enclosure so we ran over, we undid the gate, and went away. When we came back the next morning there were hoof

prints all over the place around the ungulate enclosure and baby was gone.

“This year we can take it one step further.

We’d put a transmitter in his ear so that when we do foster him out we’ll be able to track him.”

Pope Francis and the Vatican’s burdened past

BY JAMES CARROLL ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES Pope Francis is the pope of refugees — never more so than during his Middle East pilgrimage.

He began by meeting with Syrian refugees in Jordan, to which perhaps a million have fled from the brutal civil war in Syria. In Palestine, Francis met with refugees from the Deheisheh refugee camp near Bethlehem.

In Israel, by laying a wreath at the tomb of Theodor Herzl, founder of modern Zionism, the pope recalled that the Hebrew state, despite its ancient roots, had come into being as a direct consequence of European pogroms and death camps — a people’s brute determination not to be annihilated.

Israelis and Palestinians both use a variant of the word “catastrophe” to name the separate traumas that sparked their conflict, but those traumas can be understood as a double-barreled catastrophe of refugees — a despised class of people with whom, from the start of his papacy, Francis has closely identified. After all, his first trip outside of Rome last year was to Lampedusa, the Mediterranean island to which desperate migrants from Africa have made their way by the tens of thousands.

The most monumental refugee crisis in history was ignited almost exactly 70 years ago, with the liberation of Rome on June 3, 1944.

With that first Allied victory over the German war machine, a wave of Nazi victims began to show itself and swell. Italy’s roads were the first to flood with desperate fugitives, but in subsequent years many millions of the displaced, homeless, and deracinated would swamp Europe when the wave crested and broke. The U.N. refugee relief agency, administering camps across the continent, would at one point be responsible for more than six million people.

There was a dark side to the post-war story, as Vatican-sponsored entities were put at the service of a malign brand of refugee — scores of Nazi war criminals who, with the support of high-placed Catholic Church figures, were enabled to escape.

Then, too, a pope was at the center of the crisis.

Pius XII’s much-disputed wartime record in the face of the Holocaust is one factor, but there are others.

For example, the Papal Nuncio in Istanbul, Angelo Roncalli (later Pope John XXIII), alone supplied hundreds, perhaps thousands, of Nazi-hunted Jews with forged credentials needed to escape and immigrate to Palestine.

As the war ended, Pius XII oversaw a complex of Catholic relief agencies, which turned parishes and Catholic schools all across Europe into refuges for those needing food and shelter. But there was a dark side to the post-war story as well, as Vatican-sponsored entities, especially in Rome, were put at the service of a malign brand of refugee — scores of Nazi war criminals who, with the support of high-placed Catholic Church figures, were enabled to escape — a band that included Franz Stangl, commandant of Treblinka, Klaus Barbie, Gestapo chief of Lyons, and Adolf Eichmann.

As it happens, the ultimate place of refuge for such sinister characters would be Argentina.

I have written a novel that tells this story, both the good and the evil. Warburg in Rome, opening on that June day of liberation in 1944, features David Warburg, a director of the War Refugee Board, a last-ditch U.S. sponsored attempt at intervention on behalf of desperate Jews that proved to be, as Warburg himself finds, too little, too late.

The War Refugee Board’s one real success was the enabling of Raoul Wallenberg’s heroic rescue of thousands of Jews in Hungary, and that story is told here. Wallenberg depended on the Papal Nuncio of Budapest, and on Roncalli — clear instances of Catholic virtue.

In Rome, Warburg’s silent partner in the attempted rescue of Jews is Monsignor Kevin Deane, an American priest responsible for Vatican relief efforts. As the war ends, they confront together a massive wall of indifference to the plight, in particular, of what Jews survived during the Nazi onslaught.

The continent that stood by during the roundup and murder of the six million had, in effect, no place for those who’d managed to survive. What does repatriation mean for a people for whom neither Europe nor America will raise the barriers? In the aftermath

of Hitler’s defeat, with on-the-run Nazi criminals turning Rome into an escape hatch, Warburg and Deane find themselves at odds with powerful figures in the Church, in the American government, and in the Jewish rescue movement. And they are at odds, perhaps, with each other.

Christendom is the unnamed third party to the Middle East conflict, yet Christians smugly wonder why Jews and Arabs cannot make the peace.

That habit of moral deflection shapes the entire ground across which Pope Francis so boldly strode.

For his own part, Francis can directly confront the Vatican’s particular legacy here by closing down the misbegotten process toward canonization of the wartime pope, Pius XII, who may have been no more “silent” in the face of the Holocaust than other world leaders, but who was surely no saint.

To help conclude the broadly unfinished reckoning with this burdened past, the pope from Argentina has already promised to open, finally, the Vatican’s own archives for the period of World War II. Pope Francis knows that laying bare the complete story is essential. Warburg in Rome shows why.

James Carroll was a Catholic priest from 1969 to 1974, when he left the priesthood to become a writer. He writes regularly for the Boston Globe, and is a scholar-inresidence at Suffolk University in Boston, where he lives with his wife the novelist Alexandra Marshall.

MORRIS FLEWWELLING CURATES A COLLECTION OF RDC ARTWORKS THAT HAVE RARELY SEEN DAYLIGHT

Photo by LANA MICHELIN/Advocate staff

Above: Former Red Deer mayor Morris Flewwelling enjoyed guest curating Hidden Treasures, a show of little-seen artwork from the extensive Red Deer College Collection. The exhibit is on next week at the City Centre Stage gallery. Flewwelling is standing beside the painting, Garden Ceremony with Winter Screen, by RDC instructor David More.

Below: Eccentric Aura in an Aeolian Landscape, a painting by Greg Murdock

BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF They are eclectic giants that stayed hidden for years in the Red Deer College vaults.

Now 16 of the largest and least exhibited artworks from the college’s massive collection are seeing daylight again for the first time in many years in Hidden Treasures, an exhibit that runs from Wednesday to Friday at the City Centre Stage gallery.

Curating this art display is the first project former Red Deer Mayor Morris Flewwelling was asked to do after stepping down from public office.

He was approached during his retirement party, which was held at the college.

“It was their gift to me, the honour of curating, or assembling a show from the college collection — and it was a great delight,” he said.

As a private art collector, a former Red Deer museum director, and a onetime member of the Red Deer College art selection committee who had also fundraised for the art purchases during the 1980s, Flewwelling was clearly in his milieu.

“The challenge was what are we going to show?”

He could have opted to pick his favourite works, “but that would have been cheesy,” said Flewwelling.

Instead, while perusing slides of RDC’s collection of 830-plus catalogued artworks, it dawned on him that some of the pieces had never been publicly shown since being acquired.

The works were either too big, too valuable or too fragile to be mounted in the hallways or display cases at the college. Now that RDC has established a gallery space at the rear of the City Centre Stage building it owns, Flewwelling saw a perfect opportunity for displaying some of this striking and little-seen art. He also saw a chance, with the Hidden Treasures exhibit, to showcase some of RDC’s extensive collection for the community.

“I believe, deeply, that this is a fascinating collection,” said the former

mayor and teacher.

He noted it was started as an instructional tool.

Since Red Deer has no large gallery to direct visual arts students to, acquiring examples of eclectic art through purchases or donations was the best way to demonstrate the kind of techniques that are taught in the classroom. He believes the public will be floored to discover the diversity of the RDC art collection, which is considered one of the largest of its kind in Western Canada.

It encompasses everything from a disorienting black-and-white photograph taken by Diane Arbus to a wood print done by Renaissance-era German artist Albrecht Durer.

Although neither of those smaller works will be part of this exhibit, viewers will see giant canvases, voluminous tapestries and several blocky and/ or fragile sculptures that have been stored up to now in the college vaults.

One of the most unassuming works in the Hidden Treasures exhibit is also the third most valuable in the college collection — Jules Olitski’s Sixth Call, an acrylic painting that looks as monochromatic as packing paper until bright light reveals subtle layers of colour.

The late Ukraine-born painter is considered one of the U.S.’s pre-eminient abstract painters, printmakers and sculptors. Such is Olitski’s reputation, that someone once offered the college a couple of Emily Carr works and a Group-of-Seven painting in trade for this Olitski piece, said Robin Lambert, a college visual arts instructor and collection curator. But an art advisor recommended that RDC hold onto the Sixth Call, as an Olitski piece was far harder to come by.

Lambert admitted this particular painting will be “challenging” for the average viewer. “It’s not easily accessible.”

For those who like more recognizable subject matter in their art, there’s the monoprint Ocean Landscape by Jim Ulrich, or RDC painting instructor David More’s Garden Ceremony with Winter Screen.

The latter depicts intricate patterns of frost on a garden screen, and is one of the largest works on display at four metres long by nearly two metres high. Lambert said the only wall it’s ever graced before was in a corporate office. Among the other enormous works are two by Paul Sloggett: his aptly named Brown Picture, an earthcoloured abstract with textured metallic shapes, and Lido Shift, which resembles an abstract city map.

As well there’s Greg Murdock’s Eccentric Aura in an Aeolian Landscape, a surrealist work inhabited by shapes resembling a tornado, cones and tables, and the late Joseph Reeder’s Inscope, another dark abstract with splashes of bright colour and an outlined square.

Reeder was a former RDC instructor.

Ian Cook is presently teaching at the college, and one of his bronze cast abstract sculptures is also exhibited.

Flewwelling said he’s pleased to be able to display some textile art as well, since the college likely has one of the largest fabric art collections in Canada.

This includes two richly dyed tapestries from Joanna Staniszkis’ Tryptic With Stripes. One of Flewwelling’s favorite artists is also represented:

Harlan House, whose pieces include a delicately sculpted ceramic vase, teapot and plate.

Now that RDC has an art gallery to display its collection, Flewwelling believes there’s a reason to restart its fundraising program for new art acquisitions. It’s been on hold, since there was no space, previously, to exhibit the existing collection.

Lambert noted that four new art shows are already planned for the City Centre gallery starting in September.

Although these will feature works by RDC students, instructors and alumni, Lambert hopes the space that’s getting a new lighting system and a glass entrance door this summer, can also eventually be used to host shows by Red Deer-area and Alberta artists.

He believes this city can really use the exhibit space, following the closure over the last few years of numerous private art galleries.

“To have a space this big is really great. This is really needed, it’s filling a gap.”

The exhibit runs from noon to 4 p.m. on Wednesday June 4, and Friday June 6; and from 2 to 6 p.m. on Thursday June 5. lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

Those Boys Cassidy return to their roots B.C. BAND MADE UP OF CENTRAL ALBERTANS TO HAVE HOMECOMING CONCERT AT THE VAT

BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF A Vancouver-based band made up of former Central Alberta musicians will perform an eagerly awaited homecoming concert this week in Red Deer.

The country-rock group Those Boys Cassidy will join local bands Ol’ Boots & The Hoots and The Frank on Saturday, June 7, at The Vat. “I love coming back,” said Rye Lundy, drummer for Those Boys Cassidy, who’s looking forward to performing new material for old friends in Central Alberta.

It will definitely be a deja-vu experience for Bentley-raised Lundy, who figures he must have played at least 60 shows at The Vat since he was a teenager.

Local music fans might remember him from such punk/ metal bands as K.I.L.L., and Trainwreck Diaries.

Lundy left Red Deer for big-city gigs in Edmonton about a decade ago. But when his former dance/ electronica band Gloom Room dissolved there, he decided to move to Vancouver.

Since setting up on the West Coast seven years ago, Lundy began meeting — and playing with — other former Central Albertan musicians, including some of the six members who helped form Those Boys Cassidy.

Other group members are guitarist/harmonica player Winston Clarkson from Blackfalds, guitarist/ banjo player Steve Baumann from Lacombe, keyboardist Jesse Smith from Blackfalds, and singer/ percussionist Tarah Hogue from Red Deer. Bass player Ryder Unrau is from Williams Lake, B.C. The band’s music highlights various lead vocalists and a mixture of influences from country, rock and roll to folk and blues.

Country-rock band Those Boys Cassidy will join local bands Ol’ Boots & The Hoots and The Frank on June 7 at The Vat. The group that is touring through Alberta, was started in 2011 and released a debut album, Chester last May. Songs are described as ranging from driving rock riffs, as in Hurricane, to country ballads exploring regret and addiction as in the tune Contracted.

The album features rich harmonies and “an overall big sound where each song has its own story to tell.”

It’s available as a download from iTunes or Bandcamp, and was also issued in collectors’ vinyl, available at The Soundhouse in Red Deer.

The Boys Cassidy are also about to release a new three-song digital disc called Livin’ For a Change.

There’s a $10 cover charge for the 9 p.m. show. For more information, please call 403-346-5636. lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

The Pink Voices Project demonstrates the power of empowerment

BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF Any parents who wonder what goes on in their teenagers’ heads might want to attend a showing of The Pink Voices Project.

A student empowerment initiative was transformed into a piece of performance art and will be staged Wednesday, June 4, at Lindsay Thurber Comprehensive High School in Red Deer.

The effort began when teacher Trina Penner urged seven female students to write down their personal stories for a year as a way of growing their self-confidence.

The drama and dance instructor told these young women that journal writing can help affect positive personal change. “As a teacher you have an instinct about what students might need a little extra, whether it’s a smile

or some attention — a little extra that can change their world.”

After 12 months of jotting down their thoughts, the students were encouraged to turn their personal stories into a performance piece. “Anytime you give somebody an opportunity to share their voice, that’s power,” said Penner, who believes support, trust, collaboration and confidence building can all germinate from the act of staging an ensemble production.

She admitted some of the girls, who come from different social circles and grades (Grade 10-12), had concerns about sharing some of their stories and were given “veto power” over what would be aired for the public.

But the stories they agreed to read are still sad and funny and personal.

“They are like snapshots or thoughts that these teenage girls have been thinking, or wondering or pondering, about life,” said Penner, who believes

the subject matter is appropriate for know was another thing both students all ages. appreciated.

Dear Annie: After 20 years of living together, my partner informed me that she was in love with someone else and had been slipping off to his house when she told me she was visiting a girlfriend.

“Lois” says there was no sex involved — just hugging and kissing, etc.

I confronted this man, and he denied he had any feelings for Lois except as a friend.

He said she asked him for a hug, so he hugged her, but nothing else happened.

He denied they kissed.

Twice after that, he told Lois to her face that he has no feelings for her.

This guy is a snowbird and is here only during the winter.

Lois says she loves me, but MITCHELL is not “in love” with me, and when this guy returns, she is & SUGAR going to be hugging and kissing him whether I like it or not. She believes he loves her, no matter what he says.

Lois is 76, and I am 81.

I told her there is no way she can continue to live with me if she’s going to remain friendly with this guy, and that I would leave. I love her, but will not share her.

I also don’t believe this guy cares for her, but he doesn’t have the nerve to stop her from coming over.

Please don’t suggest counseling. Lois has no interest in it.

The guy returns in November.

Should I wait or leave? — Florida Problems Dear Florida: Lois wants both of you — you for the security, and the Other Man for the romance.

He makes her feel young, and unless he actually turns her away, she will keep going over there.

Can you rev up the romance over the summer so that Lois is less interested in anyone else? Do you think her infatuation will wear thin and fade away?

Do you want to have an open relationship in which both of you can see other people?

You cannot change Lois’ behavior or that of the Other Man. You can only decide how you are going to handle the situation in whatever way works best for you.

Dear Annie: I have been married to my husband for 20 years, and we have two kids in junior high.

My problem is, my husband does not wash his hands after using the bathroom or blowing his nose, which drives me crazy.

I mentioned it early on, and he claimed he was “careful enough” so that nothing ever got on his hands. I know that’s not possible.

How do I get through to him that he’s risking illness for himself and the entire family? —Grossed Out in Quebec Dear Quebec: Not washing one’s hands after using the bathroom, coughing or blowing one’s nose is a surefire way to transmit germs.

It is particularly important to wash one’s hands before handling food.

You could ask your husband to discuss the health risks with his doctor, or you could try behavior modification — refusing to kiss or touch him until he washes his hands, for example.

But you cannot force him to be more considerate, sorry.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “M.S. in Montreal, Quebec,” who told the amusing story about a doctor and a lawyer who were always asked professional questions by friends. I would like to add a comment.

In my pre-retirement career, I hosted a home improvement call-in radio show.

At any social function I attended, I was bombarded by questions about how to fix things.

Once, a doctor came up to me and said, “I have a problem with a rain gutter.

Bleak chic for shower room JUXTAPOSED DESIGN PRINCIPAL NOT MEANT FOR COTTAGE BUT IT WORKS

COLIN & JUSTIN

DESIGN

Contributed photos

Above: The subway tile (against which the sign was attached) has long been a favourite C&J default mechanism.

Below: before the chic reno.

Ever the canny Scots, we removed — and photographed — the sink, cabinet and mirror and sold them on Kijiji for two hundred bucks.

Every little bit helps, right?

The room stripped bare, however, we discovered a problem: fungus and black mould.

Let’s just say venting from the laundry next door had been incorrectly pumped into the ceiling void above the bathroom, rather than

through an exterior wall.

And it wasn’t pretty.

The drywall was blackened, and the smell of death noxious; the void behind the drywall, you see, was little more than a mouse mausoleum.

Even Dan, our contractor, winced as he pulled countless rodents, fossilized, from the stinking scene.

But little fazes our chap; he simply removed the rotten 2’x2’ lumber, bleached the space clean, replaced the framework, then covered it all in thick polythene.

Thermoseal insulation was pumped into the newly created wall voids and fresh drywall was attached. Within days, we’re delighted to report, the stench had vanished and we were able to move on to the next stage of our transformation.

As far as design was concerned, it couldn’t have been any simpler.

At our behest, Dan created an upstand to contain shower water, then clad side walls with white subway tile from Tile Shoppe whose ‘stack it high’ logic ensures inventory pricing remains low.

The same supplier also came up trumps with the large concrete look slabs which we applied to the other two walls and floor.

Hey; our bleak chic aesthetic was slowly emerging.

After visiting Dare To Be Different (www.facebook.com/daretobedifferentmuskoka) and supplying Will, the company owner, with a sketch and precise proportions, we waited for just one week

before the talented artisan pulled it all together.

First he created a wooden template (with drain area and connections for plumbing) then he filled the blocky structure with poured concrete.

Thereafter, it was delivered and installed and, to this day, we swoon as we gaze upon its seamless lines.

Taps and shower fixtures are from the DXV range at American Standard while the glazed panel was installed by Access Glass -(www.accessglassinc.com) Take a tip; there are areas, when renovating, where a competent DIY job will comfortably suffice (painting, for example, or perhaps tiling) but a professional installation for glazing is paramount; brackets and pins are crucial if you want a safe, watertight fit.

Final layering came courtesy of towels, a mirror from Homesense and one of our favourite craft people — Liz Brownrigg — or Gypsy Potter (www. gypsypotter.net) as she’s perhaps better known.

We absolutely adore the beautiful vessels she so lovingly throws.

Decorated with natu-

rally shed horse hair (bedded into the surface pre firing) each piece is unique and utterly gorgeous.

And at around $30 $40 a pop they shouldn’t break the bank.

So job done.

And by God we’re happy.

All things considered, ‘bleak chic’ isn’t even remotely stark, huh?

Sure, it’s measured, but it’s also warm and inviting into the decorative bargain. Hey; all hail the fall out shelter aesthetic.

See the full transformation (expired mice an’ all) on Cottage Life.

And hold tight for another transformation next week.

Until then?

it. Our decision was made.

A ‘bleak chic’ ensuite we would have, in a space once occupied by a decidedly run of the mill basement bathroom.

Keeping each plumbing fixture in the same location (shower, sink and loo) made sound sense; if it ain’t broken don’t fix it.

This route, as well as meaning less work, also avoids the associated costs of rejigging services.

A bomb shelter as inspiration for our cottage shower room?

Yup, the curious notion was birthed after spotting a tin sign above the entrance to a defunct air raid space in The Big Apple.

Exploring the city on business, we were smitten from the moment we saw it.

Enticingly bleak, yet somehow chic, we loved its simplicity.

Hmm. Bleak chic.

The juxtaposed design principal shouldn’t work, but we knew it could.

Safely returned to Toronto, and settled at our drawing board, we spooled through photos of New York and swooned at the beautiful and varied architectural vernacular.

But it wasn’t until clicking on the ancient bomb shelter sign that the siren of inspirational sounded.

The subway tile (against which the sign was attached) has long been a favourite C&J default mechanism, its simplicity, we suppose, its primary appeal.

The glossy white beveled edges scream ‘utilitarian’, a decorative mood that seldom wanes.

Most times we’ve grouted in white, but our New York inspiration was grey or had simply dirtied (from white) over time.

Either way, we loved

Deck Fact 5: Synthetic Deck Fact 1: Most decking is better than deck stains fail in a year most people think

HOUSEWORKS

Sounds crazy, but it’s true. I’ve been testing deck finishing products on wood samples for 25 years, and most don’t last nearly as long as you’d expect. Yes, deck stain durability has been trending upwards, but it’s still not universally decent.

And even with a good deck stain on your side, new lumber is almost certain to cause that stain to fail prematurely without proper prep.

Old lumber is just as bad. Pressure washing followed by sanding with a 60- to 80-grit abrasive is the best way to prepare a surface for maximum finish life.

Deck lumber made of plastic or plasticand-wood fiber blends do cost more than the cheapest deck lumber, but they never need finishing.

You’re essentially buying a building material and all the deck stain and labor all at once.

Freshly-finished cedar decking with a film-forming varnish-type deck finish. The best products like these last about three years in full sun.

About 10 years ago the lumber industry voluntarily stopped using arsenic-base preservative chemicals in the pressure-treated lumber they sold, and now the active ingredient is copper.

And while I have no doubt that pressuretreated lumber is a safe and economical way to build a deck, this kind of wood is also much more corrosive to screws, nails and metal fasteners than plain wood or the old arsenicpreserved lumber.

That’s why you need to insist that your new deck be built only with fasteners made of stainless steel, hot-dipped galvanized steel or fasteners rated especially for contact with ACQ lumber.

Alternatives for lawns It’s the time of year when homeowners devote countless hours to keeping their lawns lush and green only to have watering restrictions imposed by many municipalities later in the season cause their efforts to dry out and maybe even turn brown.

All that time and labour invested in keeping a lawn green with sometimes a disappointing outcome is leading many homeowners to consider alternatives.

Christian Barnard, owner of Victoria’s Christian Barnard Land Studio, says many of his clients are beginning to ask him about options other than turf.

“I think a lot of the clients I have now are looking for something that is more biodiverse because they equate turf with high resource input,” says Barnard. “When homeowners think of turf they think of lawn mowers and Weed Eaters, and so they should to a certain degree.”

Even though many properties traditionally have landscapes dominated by lawn, Barnard says it may not always be the most viable option.

One of his clients trained dogs in her 15-by15-metre plot of grass.

He recommended artificial or synthetic turf.

“Synthetic turf has come a long, long way, and it is amazing how real it can look. But if I had my way I tend to steer a lot of my clients into a more biodiverse option for turf,” he says.

Barnard trained in the United Kingdom before coming to Victoria, and he says he was recommending to a lot of clients to let their turf lawns naturalize, which means reducing the mowing and trimming, and allowing native wild flowers to return.

He also says he used a wildflower seed mix instead of turf.

“Sometimes I tell clients that turf wouldn’t be bad in certain situations, but why do we have to keep it trimmed to a quarter-inch all the time?” he says With 171 municipalities across Canada, including the entire provinces of Ontario and Quebec, banning pesticide and herbicide use, a certified horticulturalist says homeowners have to develop a tolerance for weeds in their lawns.

“People are looking at their lawns and what was the status quo and realizing they can’t have the green weed-free lawn anymore, and looking for alternatives,” says Jason Erb, owner of Victoria’s The Gardeners of Oliphant.

Who thinks honesty is the best policy?

We do.

It’s time to cut to the chase.

BRIEFS

B.C. court approves classaction lawsuit against Facebook VANCOUVER — Social-media giant Facebook is facing a class-action lawsuit that has been launched by a Vancouver woman over one of the firm’s advertising products.

B.C. Supreme Court Justice Susan Griffin said in a ruling posted online Friday that enough evidence exists to support allegations made

by Louise Douez that the Facebook product titled Sponsored Stories used the names and images of members without their consent.

Griffin also said there’s enough evidence to support allegations that the company breached the province’s Privacy Act. “Given the almost infinite life and scope of Internet images and corresponding scale of harm caused by privacy breaches, B.C. residents have a significant interest in maintaining some means of policing privacy violations by multinational Internet or social-media service providers,” said Griffin.

Sponsored Stories included the names and images of members, an advertising logo and product information, and the products were sent to other Facebook members, said the judge.

Griffin ruled the class-action will cover B.C. residents who were Facebook members between Jan. 1, 2011 and May 30, 2014, who used their real name or portraits on the website and who were included in the Sponsored Stories.

She said one of the lawsuit’s central issues will be whether members consented to having their names or portraits used in advertising products when they agreed to the company’s Terms of Use. Facebook said in an email that Sponsored Stories are no longer available to advertisers.

“This suit has no merit and we intend to pursue an immediate appeal of the court’s procedural rulings,” said the company in the email.

Christopher Rhone, legal counsel for Douez, said his client is pleased with the ruling.

“I’m happy because it shows that ... any foreign company can’t just come in here and insert itself into British Columbia, the lives of British Columbians, and start making use of their names and portraits,” he said. The judge has suggested the parties arrange another hearing to address how class members will be notified, as well as any changes to the litigation plan.

Remains of four servicemen found seven decades after B.C. crash VANCOUVER — More than 70 years after a Second World War aircraft disappeared on a training flight over B.C., the wreckage has been found and four servicemen have been identified.

The BC Coroners Service says what was left of the Avro Anson was discovered last October by a logging crew working on a remote mountainside near Port Renfrew, B.C., on the west coast of Vancouver Island.

The site is barely 50 kilometres west of the Sidney airport, where the twin-engine propeller aircraft took off on Oct. 30, 1942.

Human remains were found at the scene, but bad weather prevented recovery of Royal Canadian Air Force Sgt. William Baird and British air force Pilot Officer Charles Fox, Pilot Officer Anthony Lawrence and Sgt. Robert Luckock.

Officials with the coroners service and Department of National Defence returned to the heavilyforested mountainside on May 5 and removed, analysed and identified the remains.

Canadian military officials and Britain’s Ministry of Defence have contacted surviving family members, and plans for an internment ceremony are under discussion.

Assembly of First Nations fires back at minister over stalled education bill OTTAWA — The war of words between the Assembly of First Nations and the Conservative government is heating up.

The AFN is firing back at Aboriginal Affairs Minister Bernard Valcourt, one day after he vented his frustration over a stalled bill to reform First Nations education.

Quebec and Labrador Regional Chief Ghislain Picard is also accusing the government of lying to Canadians about the level of funding for schools in aboriginal communities, which he says do not receive enough money.

Picard has been speaking on behalf of the assembly since Shawn Atleo abruptly quit this month as its national chief.

Chiefs from across Canada voted this week to reject Conservative education reforms, and they demanded a new agreement with First Nations that provides transfer payments to aboriginal communities.

Valcourt put the education reforms on hold after Atleo quit, saying he would wait until the AFN had a clear position before going any further.

Boy rescued after being locked up for 2 years

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS LONDON, Ont. — A 10-year-old boy rescued in urine-soaked pyjamas from a squalid bedroom where he had been confined for up to two years expressed hope, authorities say, that he can now attend school.

After receiving an anonymous tip, authorities discovered the boy in horrific conditions, locked in a bedroom of his aunt and uncle’s house in the southwestern Ontario city.

“There was a lot of garbage in the house,” London Police Insp. Kevin Heslop said at a news conference Friday.

“There was a lot of packaging from fast food outlets. In the bedroom specifically there was feces, urine, the bed was soaked in urine, as was the child’s pyjamas when the child was found and there was food waste throughout the house.”

The boy had been locked in the bedroom for at least 18 months, possibly as long as two years, Heslop said. He may have been out “for a brief period of time” in 2013, he said. The boy was typically fed twice a day, fast food that was left for him to eat, Heslop said.

“The master bedroom had an ensuite bathroom so the child had access to a toilet and shower, however the room — in fact the entire house — was in squalid condition,” Heslop said.

The boy’s aunt and uncle have been charged with failing to provide the necessaries of life and forcible confinement. Their names are not being released to protect the boy’s identity.

The boy was underweight, malnourished, con-

fused and pale, Heslop said. He had been living with his aunt and uncle since 2010, when the boy came to Canada. He speaks “some” English, Heslop said.

He would not say what country the boy came from, but his parents do not live in Canada and investigators have not yet been able to contact them, he said.

“I don’t know if they know,” Heslop said.

It doesn’t appear as though the boy went to school, he said.

His aunt and uncle also have a biological child, who the executive director of the local children’s aid society described as a nine-year-old girl. There is no evidence the couple’s biological child was ever locked in a room, Heslop said.

Both children were apprehended and taken into care, said Jane Fitzgerald, the executive director of the Children’s Aid Society of London and Middlesex.

“We’re now just getting to know this boy,” she said.

“I think that we were happy to find out from him that some of the things that he wants to do right away is he wanted regular food and he said the one thing he really wants is to go to school. I think that’s a good sign. He wants to re-enter the world.”

Authorities got an anonymous tip from a community member about a child who was reported to be home alone late into the evening, prompting a CAS worker to visit the house Thursday afternoon, Fitzgerald said. Though no one appeared to be home, the worker saw a shadow behind drapery and contacted police, she said.

A teenager who lived in the house next door said she had seen a man and woman and even the girl on occasion, but not the boy.

The house had a playset in the backyard with a swing and a slide, which the girl could be seen playing on occasionally, but the boy authorities found was never seen, the neighbour said.

“We had no idea that he was up there. We had no idea that he was even in that house,” the 16-year-old said.

“It seemed like a pretty normal house. We never would have suspected something like that.”

Fitzgerald praised the courage shown by the tipster.

“Ensuring a child’s safety is a community responsibility, so if anyone in our community have reasonable grounds to suspect that a child is or may be in need of protection, please call us,” she said.

“That is how we are able to protect children. We know it is not an easy call to make, but it can save the life of a child.”

The case has some similarities to that of Jeffrey Baldwin, a Toronto boy locked for long stretches of time in a cold, fetid room by his grandparents and so severely starved that when he died in 2002, just shy of his sixth birthday, his weight was that of a 10-month-old infant.

In Jeffrey’s case some of his siblings, who also lived with their grandparents, were not subjected to the same neglect and abuse. Like this boy, Jeffrey was also not enrolled in school.

Irwin Elman, the provincial advocate for children and youth, noted how the recommendations that came out of the Jeffrey Baldwin coroner’s inquest earlier this year stressed that protecting kids is not only the job of children’s aid societies, but is “every citizen’s responsibility.”

Tutu says he won’t tell Canadians what to do about the environment FORT MCMURRAY, Alta. — South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu says he has come to northern Alberta not as an expert on climate change, but hoping to bring people together on an issue that he says is crucial to the future of all creation.

“I don’t come as a know-all who is going to pontificate and tell you Canadians what you must do,” he told reporters Friday before opening a twoday conference on oilsands development and First Nations treaties in Fort McMurray.

“I think I can almost say, without fear of contradiction, that you do know what you should do.”

But he didn’t minimize his assessment of how serious a threat climate change poses.

Effects are already being felt all over the world, he said, citing stories people have told him from Norway to Nigeria.

“We are sitting on a powder keg if we don’t do something urgently, quickly.”

Tutu suggested we are all members of one global family who should look out for each other.

“It is better working together than being at loggerheads, at daggers drawn,” he said. “It is far better — it is cheaper — for people to be friends than enemies.”

He pointed to his own experience fighting the apartheid regime in South Africa as an example of people can work out even the toughest problems.

“We could have had one awful conflagration,” he said. “It didn’t happen.”

The archbishop, who won the Nobel Peace Prize for his role in the fight against apartheid, has taken strong stands on climate change and against projects such as the Keystone XL pipeline. Tutu has signed a petition against the project. In an opinion column earlier this year in the British newspaper the Guardian, the 82-year-old called the Keystone proposal to move oilsands bitumen from Alberta to the U.S. appalling.

He has also called for boycotts of events sponsored by the fossil fuel industry, for health warnings on oil

company ads and for divestment of oil industry investments held by universities and municipalities, similar to measures that were brought against South Africa’s old apartheid regime.

“It is effective,” he said, emphasizing the statement with a loud cry and throwing his hands in the air.

Tutu brought a religious bent to a debate often restricted to science and economics. “The Bible says God said to Adam, ’Till it and keep it.’ Not ’Till it and destroy it.”’

Tutu was to take an aerial tour of the massive oilsands development Friday afternoon, but heavy winds put that in doubt. There were no plans for him to meet with industry officials during his time in Fort McMurray.

Some in the oilsands capital seemed open to hearing what he had to say.

Syncrude employee Melvin Campbell said he feels Tutu’s opinion carries more weight than that of others who have been critical of the industry.

“He has a little bit more credibility than the actors and the players,” said Campbell. “Desmond Tutu has a lot of political experience and the public’s ear. I hope he uses it well.”

Earlier this year, musician Neil Young played concerts in several cities to support the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation after he visited the region. In 2010, Hollywood director James Cameron toured the oilsands and the community of Fort Chipewyan.

Oil worker Jay Hardy said Tutu’s words should be heard.

“He has a good idea of the way that the world should be with the environment and with people living in it,” Hardy said.

“I respect the man. I think we all should. He has good philosophy.”

Brigitte Mbanga said whatever Tutu has to say is still only one man’s opinion.

“He is a more prominent person than the Hollywood celebrities that have come here,” she said. “His comments may be helpful to the government or the oilsands, but it’s like every other person’s comment.”

The conference is intended to discuss the need for renewal of treaty relationships in light of extensive resource development such as the oilsands.

Harper goes on full-scale verbal attack against communism

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Prime Minister Stephen Harper launched into a fullthroated attack on the evils of communism at a fundraiser on Friday for a monument to its victims.

In a lengthy key-note speech to the dinner, Harper took aim at Russian President Vladimir Putin and past adherents to communism.

“During the 20th century, communism’s poisonous ideology and ruthless practices slowly bled into countries around the world, on almost every continent,” Harper said.

“The result was catastrophic. More than 100 million souls were lost — an almost incomprehensible number.”

The evening’s goal was to help raise money for Tribute to Liberty, which aims for a permanent memorial in Ottawa to communism’s “hundreds of millions” of victims.

In 2010, the Conservative government said it would support the monument.

Future generations of Canadians, Harper said, must be reminded that peace was earned through struggle and sacrifice.

In language reminiscent of the height of the Cold War, Harper lambasted communism and oppressive or even murderous ideologies.

“Evil comes in many forms and seems to reinvent itself time and again,” he said.

TRIBUTE TO LIBERTY “But whatever it calls itself — Nazism, Marxist-Leninism, today, terrorism — they all have one thing in common: the destruction, the end of human liberty.”

Canadians, the prime minister said, are well aware of that destruction.

“We feel this pain so acutely because nearly one quarter of all Canadians were either held captive by communism’s chains or are the sons and daughters of those who were.”

He repeated his support for Ukraine, and lashed out again at Putin, saying the president has “grown more comfortable with confrontation” and Russia’s “expansionism and militarism” threatens global security.

Canada, he said, has been a haven from those fleeing oppression.

“Instead of communism’s grim determinism, they found Canadian opportunity.”

Harper said Canada and the West played their pro-freedom role during the Cold War, and he singled out former British prime minister Brian Mulroney along with ex-British PM Margaret Thatcher and former U.S. president Ronald Reagan.

The PM did express “immense regret” that Canada had not always lived up to its high aspirations.

A jury will be selecting the winning monument design team within months.
