Rebates eyed in emissions battle BY JOHN COTTER THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — Alberta is preparing a rebate program to encourage homeowners to purchase energyefficient appliances and help the province reduce
greenhouse gas emissions. Environment Minister Robin Campbell said the program would cost up to $30 million in the first year. He wants to make the announcement in early October. “We are looking at incentives for residential homes. Looking at people replacing their furnaces,
fridges, washer-dryers,� he said. “One of the holdups right now that we are still discussing is if we could make a big enough incentive for some people . . . (who) wanted to look at solar for their homes.�

During the event, the EcoVision Club and the Little Green Thumbs program participants celebrated the success of the program including the Emerald Awards, Caring for our Watershed Awards and completion of the aquaponics structure on the school campus. Elementary school aged children from Lacombe and Red Deer also took part in the days activities touring the facilities, making pizzas with ingredients grown at the school, planting herbs, berries and sunflowers.
Plastics initiative turning waste into energy BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF A Mountain View Regional Waste Management Commission plastics initiative has expanded far beyond its original intent and is now involved in turning that waste into energy. Starting as a pilot project, the waste commission accepted farm plastics, including twine, net wrap, tarps and silage plastic at the Olds transfer station. A one-day trial in 2007 hauled in 19,610 kg of farm plastics. In its early stages, the plastics were going as far away as Minnesota before they were recycled. The farm plastics recycling project netted the commission an honourable mention from the minister’s awards for municipal excellence. Now the project has expanded and earned more recognition: an Action Hero Award from the Parkland Airshed Management Zone. Al Graham, waste commission chief administrative officer, said the group now accepts all plastics, which are being recycled just 40 minutes down Hwy 2 in Airdrie. “We just solidified a contract with Durham Energy

Recovery of Airdrie where we will have all classes of plastics taken right out of our landfill and moved through Durham’s technology to revert all plastics back to diesel fuel,� said Graham. “We’re pretty proud to be cutting edge with this.� Graham said a chance meeting with Peter Brown, Durham Energy Recovery president, led to the expanded project. Through anhydrous pyrolysis, which extracts fuel from end-of-life plastics, the plastic sent to Durham is being converted into both methane and diesel fuel. While it covers all classes of plastics, Graham said they aren’t taking items that would fall under bottle returns. He said there is a good system in place through the Alberta Beverage Container Recycling Corp. and they have no interest in changing that. “We are very pleased to have this alliance,� said Graham. “We have to stop filling these holes in the ground. That’s not our purpose anymore.� The Durham Energy plant isn’t at full capacity yet. Graham said they have about 300 tonnes of plastic either waiting there or ready to be transported from their site.

Holocaust denier Jim Keegstra, who lost a 12-year court battle that pitted his freedom of expression against Canada’s hate law, has died in Red Deer. He was 80 years old. Keegstra was a former teacher and mayor of Eckville who came to national attention in the summer of 1983 when Canadians learned the public high school social studies instructor had for years been teaching his students about a Jewish conspiracy. Keegstra had taught that “treacherous� and “subversive� Jews were to blame for historic calamities, were trying to rule the world and destroy the Christian way of life. He claimed Jews created the Holocaust to “gain sympathy.� But these hateful views were largely ignored by the school principal until the outraged parents of an Eckville student took the issue to the school board and the Advocate reported on it. Keegstra was dismissed from his job and had his teaching certificate revoked after disregarding warnings to stop teaching students anti-Semitic content. Political pressure began building to have him charged under national hate laws after a rookie rural member of Alberta’s legislature was also quoted in the media as doubting the Holocaust. On Jan. 11, 1984, Alberta’s Attorney General charged Keegstra for criminally promoting hatred against an identifiable group, although no successful prosecution had ever been made before under Canada’s 1970 hate law. Keegstra argued this charge unreasonably infringed on his Charter of Rights guarantee of free expression, as well as his presumption of innocence. After two long trials, three hearings in the Supreme Court of Canada, and six trials and appeals in Alberta, which cost taxpayers about $1 million, Keegstra finally lost all legal avenues.

carnival fun

Eastview Middle School Grade 7 students Shinara Dickey, left, and Tiana Kindopp battle it out with inflatable tubes on a wobbly bench during the schools carnival day Thursday. The event included a number of outdoor activities, including a bouncy castle, water gun fights, a game of wet paint twister, tug-o-war, cow milking, volley ball, a fortune teller and other fun things. Three hundred students from the school took part in the event, with funds raised going towards funding a new play structure planned for the school yard.
Stories From page A1
Rebates: Similar program ran from 2009-12 The money for the program would come from a fund that large industrial companies pay into when they can’t meet their greenhouse gas reduction targets. The government would pay part of the cost of energy efficient upgrades based on receipts submitted by homeowners, Campbell said. A similar program in Alberta that ran between 2009 and 2012 issued more than 173,000 rebates worth more than $52 million. The provincial government has been under pressure from conservation groups to take new measures to help reduce Alberta’s carbon footprint. The Alberta Energy Efficiency Alliance issued a report in January that noted the province is the only jurisdiction in Canada or the United States that doesn’t offer homeowners and businesses financial incentives to become more energy efficient. The alliance followed up its report with the results of an Ipsos Reid survey it commissioned. The poll suggested 77 per cent of Albertans surveyed last month supported using money from the Climate Change and Emissions Management Fund to improve the energy efficiency of homes and commercial buildings. Jesse Row, the alliance’s executive director, said Campbell’s plan would be a good first step that could be expanded in the future. He said the $30 million would save consumers about $100 million over the life of the appliance upgrades. Such programs not only reduce energy consumption, Row said, they also encourage people to think about the need to cut greenhouse gas emissions. “Incentive programs have a history of both helping people take action and raising awareness around the issue,” Row said Thursday. “Just going out with information programs without incentives — people don’t pay as much attention.” The alliance includes the cities of Calgary and Edmonton, Suncor Energy (TSX:SU), Atco Gas (TSX:ACO.X), Shell Canada (TSX:SHC), the Pembina

Institute, the Canada Green Building Council and other businesses and groups. Under Alberta law, large industrial greenhouse gas emitters must reduce their emissions intensity by 12 per cent below their 2004-2005 baseline intensity. Companies that can’t meet the requirement must either buy carbon credits from other Alberta-based organizations or pay $15 into the climate change fund for every tonne over the limit. Campbell said the government is considering increasing the $15 carbon price as it looks at updating its climate change strategy. “We are having a fiery robust discussion right now within our own government as to what that is going to look like,” he said. “I hope to have a seamless transition this fall.” Alberta has collected more than $400 million in the climate change fund since it was created in 2007. Since then, about $240 million has been spent on projects and research aimed at reducing CO2 emissions. The government’s original climate change plan announced in 2008 set a goal of reducing Alberta’s greenhouse gas emissions by 50 megatonnes by 2020.
Keegstra: Retired to low-key life in Red Deer He was sentenced in 1996 to what many people saw as a slap on the wrist. After his lawyer argued that Keegstra had, otherwise, led a blameless life, always supported his family and community, was now impoverished and “vilified,” he received a one-year suspended sentence, one year of probation and 200 hours of community service. One of his trial judges concluded that Keegstra could not be rehabilitated, and that the loss of his teaching licence was a more serious punishment than anything the court could impose. With his classroom career over, Keegstra, who was born in 1934 in Vulcan, worked as a mechanic, then farmed with his twin brother John in the Rimbey area for some years. He grew up as the son of Dutch immigrants who came to Alberta in 1928 and worked in various communities as hired farm hands. Keegstra married in 1956 and apprenticed as a mechanic before going to university to become a

teacher. He taught in Cremona, Red Deer and Medicine Hat before moving to Eckville, were he was also a town councillor and mayor from 1974 to 1983 — when his notoriety cost him a re-election. After giving up farming, he retired to a low-key life in Red Deer, where he was a custodian and handyman at Convent Park Apartments. Keegstra died on June 2, and is survived by his four children. lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com
Initiative: Recognized by PAMZ The plastics-into-diesel program was recently recognized by the Parkland Airshed Management Zone. The management zone gave out six awards to various programs in the area for their efforts to reduce ground-level ozone, a component of smog. Other award winners included Red Deer Transit for improving its services; the Red Deer Lodge for being the first hotel in Central Alberta to install an electric car charger; Bonnie Denhaan for spearheading an idle-free campaign at Sunnybrook United Church; Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre for commitment to be an idle-free zone since 2013; and Weber Physiotherapy for posting a sign that asks drivers to turn their engines off. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com
accident: Final jump of the day On his final jump, fellow skydivers in the group advised that something didn’t seem quite right. They lost sight of him. When the group got safely to the ground, he was unaccounted for. The man was located a short time later in a field near the runway. Police said the cause of the accident is still under investigation. The Transportation Safety Board of Canada is not involved in the investigation because it was a skydiver and did not involve a vehicle causing the incident to occur.

PRINCE ALBERT, Sask. — The aunt of a homeless woman who was seriously assaulted and burned in an attack outside a community centre says her niece has been upgraded to stable condition. Police got a call about an assault and found a badly injured Marlene Darlene Bird on June 1 outside the centre in downtown Prince Albert. Bird, who is 47, was first taken to hospital in Prince Albert, then transferred to Saskatoon and then to Edmonton’s University of Alberta Hospital. Lorna Thiessen said that Bird was to have her second leg amputated on Thursday because it was “burned to the bone.” Thiessen said Bird is in a critical burn unit and has extensive burns all over her body and has had several skin grafts. Bird is conscious and Thiessen said she has been speaking, but is heavily sedated most of the time. “When she comes out, she’s going to need living accommodations, she’s going to need support for probably prosthetics, and probably maybe a scooter, or things in that line.” While Bird recovers in Edmonton with a small group of family at her bedside, another group of supporters is growing in Prince Albert. Prince Albert YWCA executive director Donna Brooks said it’s appalling that Bird’s story hasn’t received attention outside of Prince Albert. “If this attack would have happened to a middle class woman in a suburban Toronto neighbourhood, I guarantee you it would have been on the national news — I guarantee you that,” she said. “But, because it happened in Prince Albert, it happened to an aboriginal woman who is a part of the homeless community, because of all those factors I don’t think it received the media attention it should.”

Drainage plan expected to help LESS RED TAPE, WILL PROTECT WATERSHED BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF A drainage plan for Wolf Creek will trim the red tape for developers while protecting the watershed. The master drainage plan for Wolf Creek and its tributary Whelp Brook was unveiled for Lacombe County council on Thursday. Significant flooding in recent years prompted the county, Ponoka County Lacombe and Blackfalds to join forces and commission a plan to assess the watershed and develop standards to ensure that future
development does not introduce more problems. The two-year project saw consultants determine existing runoff and stream flows and determine what kind of storm water management facilities, such as holding ponds and manufactured wetlands, are needed to ensure development doesn’t add to water flows. Typically, multi-lot residential subdivisions are the biggest contributors to increased runoff as homes, driveways and streets direct more water into nearby drainage courses. Industrial developments also contribute to higher runoff. Andrew Patton, of Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development, said storm water ponds slow additional runoff down so that flow rates are evened out and creeks and other drainage channels are not overwhelmed.
By adopting a drainage master plan, incoming developers know what standards they must design their drainage to and do not have to undertake their own lengthy studies. It also ensures that the four municipalities involved have consistent standards. “There are a lot of advantages (for developers) to going through the master drainage plan,” said Patton. Flooding is common in the low-lying areas in the Wolf Creek drainage area and the plan will not eliminate that. It is expected to reduce flooding and will definitely ensure new development does not add to the problem, council was told. The plan will go to the other three municipalities for approval before being sent to Alberta Environment for its signoff. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

Crews began erecting a pair of tent structures at Westerner Park on Thursday. Measuring 160 feet by 100 feet, and 140 feet by 100 feet respectively, they will replace two similar structures that collapsed under heavy snow loads last winter. The cost has been estimated at $810,000, which will be covered by insurance, , less a $10,000 deductible. Jim White, Westerner Park’s acting CEO, said the new tents should be ready for use by Westerner Days, which will run from July 16 to 20.

EDMONTON — The Alberta New Democrats say a leaked draft of proposed rules for unconventional oil and gas developments such as fracking are an example of how the governing Tories are increasingly excluding the public from having its say. “This government has completely abandoned its obligation to ensure the interests of all Albertans are represented in the course of deciding what parts of the province are developed and how,” environment critic Rachel Notley said Thursday. The document, dated May 30, outlines a new way to control energy development and proposes a pilot project that includes ranges of threatened caribou herds. Bob Curran of the Alberta Energy Regulator said the document is only a plan for a pilot project. “This is not regulatory change — it is a pilot,” he wrote in an email. “Once the pilot is complete, we will asses it to determine how to proceed. If we decide to propose regulatory change, we will solicit feedback from all stakeholders.” Curran said the pilot is based on years of work and public input. A presentation on the regulator’s website is dated July 2013. “It’s safe to say that we presented this dozens of times across Alberta,” he said. If the pilot project becomes the new standard, companies would identify environmental risks in an area and explain how they would manage to mitigate or avoid them. “This approach involves identifying risks and managing them to achieve objectives, driving the accountability to those that carry out the activities,” the document says. The intent is to force companies to take into account other activities in an area such as forestry or agriculture. It would also allow the Alberta Energy Regulator to fine-tune requirements to the specifics of one region. The document characterizes the change as one “from activity-by-activity regulation to the regulation of multiple activities across large areas.” Critics say it’s one approval process for all of a company’s activities in a single region. “If I’m a landowner, I don’t even know if I’m going to have a road or a wellsite on my land,” said Duncan Kenyon of the Pembina Institute, an environmental think-tank. “That means I can’t even really tell you if I oppose this or not. Now I find out down the road there are going to be activities on my land — tough. The approval’s in place.” Kenyon also points out the intent is for the policy to work in tandem with other government legislation such as land-use plans. However, none of those plans are in place. Most are still being developed, something likely to take years. The government hopes to have its pilot program running by September. The plan also relies on industry self-reporting on how well it’s living up to its commitments. “That’s not regulating any more,” said Kenyon. “That’s self-regulation with auditing going on. “In this kind of a sector, I’m not sure that self-regulation is a real appropriate way of doing it.” Notley said the so-called play-based regulations are being developed without any public input. Industry received a copy of the proposal June 3.
COMMENT

FRIDAY, JUNE 13, 2014
Progress without value As a sci-fi reader and the parent of a philosopher (the two interests are definitely related), I’m not surprised that a claim has been made that a computer program has managed — according to some — to have passed the famous Turing Test. What surprises me is that the world is not agog over the news. Or that it has not been made fearfully GREG irrational by it. NEIMAN E u g e n e Goostman is the name of a ‘personality’ created by programmers who recent history has made unlikely collaborators. Vladimir Veselov is a Russian, Eugene Demchenko is Ukrainian. They’ve been working at Princeton Artificial Intelligence since 2001, and decided their shot at the Turing prize was to create a digital 13-year-old Ukrainian boy. That way, the program could claim to know everything when being tested, but could be believably wrong at the same time. Smart, that.
INSIGHT
The aim of the test, as mathematical genius Alan Turing proposed in 1950, was for the program to be able to trick human questioners into believing it was a real human. Later, a standard was set at 30 per cent success to be considered a real pass of Turing’s test, which then touched off arguments that have continued ever since. Sci-fi, meet philosophy. The ability of a computer to mimic genuine intelligence is serious stuff. Not because people seem to long for a HAL or a Commander Data as a friend, but because the quest to create intelligence touches the base of our own notions of who we are. And how vulnerable we are in the presence of our technology. More on that later. The program Big Blue was able to defeat a grand master at chess, because it could compute a massive number of outcomes for any series of moves within the game. Eugene was pre-loaded with a massive roster of possible responses to comments and questions typed in by a human interviewer. Neither power can be considered evidence of the self-awareness or intentionality that marks a human. Nor is it evidence of the functions of greed, compassion, desire to dominate or willingness to sacrifice that humans — and many other members of the animal
kingdom — display naturally. But last Saturday, Eugene Goostman convinced 10 of 30 judges that it was human, in 30 simultaneous unrestricted interviews. Other programs taking the test at the same time failed. I haven’t seen a report on how many of the human interviewees set as test cases inside the exercise also failed. Here’s where the fear should set in. Nobody is saying that some point has been passed where robots can begin to enslave humans a la science fiction. But if 10 of 30 skeptical judges can be fooled by a chatbot that something fictional is actually true, imagine what can happen when chatbots are released into the World Wide Web, able to convince massively gullible societies of anything at all. Why do Nigerian princes still ask you to give them your banking information? So they can actually deposit a fortune within your account? It’s because a whole lot of people believe false promises. A human-like simulacrum can work 24 hours a day, keep track of millions of lies simultaneously, follow thousands of conversations uniquely while never getting confused or losing track, remembering every detail you let slip — and can be guided to steal everything you own. “9Contact me for a profitable trans-
action i have for you.Regards” Sorry, mrs.liung, but you are now soooo obsolete. “Is your email active? I have an urgent proposal to discuss with you.” Sorry, Wing Lok, but there’s a robot on the line. The people who imagined a world containing genuine AI must have believed themselves to be some sort of god. But even God who created Eden saw it fall into jealousy and murder pretty quickly. I don’t think Turing, or anyone else, imagined this outcome. Nobody set out to invent email so that people could be robbed of their life savings. Nobody set out to create social media, so that teenaged girls could be coaxed into publishing nude photos of themselves, and then be bullied into suicide. Cyberneticist Mitchel Kapor bet $20,000 against futurist Ray Kurzweil that a widely-accepted pass of their specific Turing Test would occur before the dawn of 2002. Eric Schmidt, executive chairman of Google, says the mark will be passed before the end of 2018. I — and the philosophers — ask: why would we want that? Greg Neiman is a retired Advocate editor.

Is the tide turning again in Iraq? The Iraqi army will have to destroy Mosul in order to save it — and it’s not clear whether it can do the job even then. It isn’t so much an army as a vast system of patronage providing employment of a sort for 900,000 people. When fewer than a thousand ISIS jihadis fought their way into Mosul, Iraq’s second city, over the past few days, most of the government’s soldiers just shed their uniforms and fled. The government troops never felt comfortable in Mosul anyway, for they are mostly Shia Muslims and the vast GWYNNE majority of Mosul’s 1.8 million DYER residents are Sunni. (Or maybe it’s only 1.3 million people now, for up to 500,000 of the city’s residents are reported to be fleeing the triumphant jihadis: Shias, non-Muslim minorities and even Kurdish Sunnis have faced execution in other areas that have fallen under the control of ISIS.) The Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (an Arabic word that can mean the entire Levant, including Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Palestine) began as “AlQaida in Iraq” during the American occupation, but it’s the Syrian civil war that turned it into a regional threat. ISIS actually spent more time fighting other rebel forces in Syria than the Assad regime, but it gained recruits from all the Sunni Arab countries just by being on the right side. It also got access to the

money and arms that were flowing into Syria for the anti-government forces. In the past two years, it has established effective control over most of sparsely populated eastern Syria, and it started moving back into western Iraq in force late last year. In January, it seized the city of Fallujah in Anbar province, only 100 km west of Baghdad, and the Iraqi army was unable to retake the city although it had suffered about 5,000 casualties, including 1,000 killed, by the end of April. But at least it stood and fought in Anbar. In Mosul on Monday, it just ran. It ran although it outnumbered the ISIS fighters who attacked the city by at least 15-to-one, and it may not be willing to fight very hard to take it back. The entire Iraqi government is an “institutionalized kleptocracy,” as one of Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki’s own ministers said, and the army is no exception. Soldiers who go unpaid because their officers stole their wages are rarely willing to die for them. The only real fighting force left in Iraq is the Peshmerga, the army of the Kurdistan Regional Government. It is a tough, well-armed force, but it serves what is a separate state in all but name. It apparently still holds the part of Mosul east of the river Tigris, which has a large Kurdish population, but it may not be willing to take the large number of casualties that would be involved in street-fighting to recover the main part of the city. At a minimum the KRG would want the Baghdad government to make major concessions on the revenue and oil-exporting disputes that have poisoned its relations with the federal government before it commits its forces to a major offensive against ISIS. Or it may just decide to stand on the defensive in the Kurdish-majority territory it now holds, and use the

crisis to move even closer to its ultimate goal of an independent Kurdistan. ISIS has sent the occasional suicide-bomber into Kurdistan, but it realizes that its main fight is not with the Kurds. Having taken most of Mosul, its forces are advancing not east into Kurdistan, but south through Tikrit (which fell Wednesday) towards Baghdad. It will not try to take Baghdad itself, most of whose seven million people are Shia, but by the end of this month it could end up in control of most of western and northern Iraq. At this point the old Iraq-Syria border would disappear and the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham would become a reality, extending 400 km. from Mosul and Fallujah in Iraq to Deir-es-Zor, Raqqa and near Aleppo in Syria. It would be mostly desert and it would control only about five million people and almost no oil, but it would be ruled by an Islamist organization so extreme that it has even been disowned by al-Qaida. The remaining bits of the new regional map would be the western half of Syria, still largely under the control of the Assad regime; the semi-independent state of Kurdistan; and the densely populated, Shiamajority core of Iraq between Baghdad and Basra, hard up against the border with Shia Iran. None of this is yet inevitable yet, of course. It’s a war, and wars can take unexpected turns. But it’s certainly a possibility. It’s also a possibility that the war could get wider, as Iran, Saudi Arabia and Turkey all consider whether they need to intervene militarily to protect their own interests. But that’s unlikely to happen this month. Later is anybody’s guess. Gwynne Dyer is a freelance Canadian journalist living in London.

Ontario Liberals cruise to unexpected majority HUDAK QUITS TORY LEADERSHIP
9 YE AR
BY COLIN PERKEL THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Kathleen Wynne powered Ontario’s Liberals past a legacy of scandal Thursday, staving off aggressive assaults from the Progressive Conservatives and New Democrats to cruise to a fourth straight mandate and an unexpected majority. Within an hour of the result becoming clear, Tory Leader Tim Hudak — whose austerity platform of smaller government and public-sector job cuts ran smack into a voter brick wall — took to the stage to announce he would resign as leader. “We did not receive the results that we wanted,” Hudak told dejected supporters at his headquarters in Grimsby, Ont. “(But) nobody should take this result as an endorsement of the status quo.” Hudak said he would stay on as leader until a replacement is chosen, and would remain a member of the legislature. Despite a hard-fought campaign that saw accusations of corruption and incompetence hurled at her minority Liberals, Wynne managed to persuade jaundiced voters to give her government another chance and make her the province’s first elected female premier. “I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: the word Liberal is not just letters on a lawn sign,” Wynne wrote in an email to supporters after the polls closed. “It is the generosity of spirit that defines us at our best — and so do you.” The ballots were counted amid a palpable sense of uncertainty as to whether or not the snap election, called more than a month ago, would yield a decisive result. Defying almost all predictions, Wynne earned a convincing win both in the popular vote and the number of seats, paving the way for her Liberals to govern on their own. The Liberals were well ahead of the Tories in the popular vote as voters rejected Hudak’s pledge to slash 100,000 public sector jobs as part of a shock deficit-tackling therapy. Preliminary results put the Liberals at 58 seats, Hudak’s Conservatives at 27 seats and the New Democrats at 22. At dissolution in the 107-seat legislature, the Liberals held 48 seats, the Tories 37 and the NDP 21, with one seat vacant. Stony-faced tension at Liberal headquarters in Toronto gradually gave way to excitement and delight as it became clear the Liberals had taken the night. Federal Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau congratulated Wynne on the breakthrough that puts her back in the premier’s chair, this time with the blessing of voters, not just her party. Millions of voters had spent the day casting judgment on the scandalplagued minority Liberal government under Wynne, who was seeking her first mandate after becoming party leader 16 months ago. Polls suggested an exceptionally tight race was in the offing. But as the results came in, it became apparent that Wynne had made her case for a renewed Liberal mandate by promising a fiscally responsible but progressive government. Wynne spent much of the campaign staving off attacks related to decisions made by her predecessor Dalton McGuinty, which included the cancellation of two gas plants at an estimated cost to the public of $1.1 billion. Both Hudak and Horwath were relentless in branding the Liberals as corrupt and incapable of fiscal responsibility, pointing to the province’s $12.5-billion deficit. Their campaigns, however, were anything but plain sailing.

Ontario PC Leader Tim Hudak gives his concession speech at his election night party in Grimsby, Ontario on Thursday. Hudak ran into trouble with his pledge to create one million jobs — widely panned by economists as based on faulty math — and his promise to cut 100,000 public sector jobs at a time the provincial economy is sputtering. Yet he persisted, positioning himself as the only plain-speaking leader ready to tell voters what they needed to hear, not what they wanted to hear. “It’s only fair to be straight with people about the need to rein in the cost and size of government instead of making expensive campaign promises that can’t be kept,” Hudak said. The New Democrats, offering a grab-bag of pocketbook promises such as lower hydro rates and auto-insurance bills, appeared to throw Wynne a lifeline as Horwath tilted her party distinctly to the right. It was Horwath who triggered the $90-million, 40-day campaign by refusing to support the minority Liberal budget many observers called the most progressive in the province’s recent history. As a result, Wynne fought back by arguing her party was the only option for Liberal and New Democrat voters worried that a Hudak government would be a throwback to the days of former Tory premier Mike Harris, whose time in office in the mid- to late 1990s was marred by labour and education unrest. She promised a provincial retirement savings plan along the lines of the Canada Pension Plan along with investments in education and transportation. A vote for the NDP, Wynne insisted in the last week of the campaign, would be a vote for Hudak. “If people don’t vote for our plan, then Tim Hudak will be the premier, because it is a tight enough race that that is what will happen,” said Wynne. Horwath scorned Wynne’s overtures to NDP supporters, arguing voters didn’t have to choose between the “corrupt” Liberals and the Tories’ “crazy” platform. The campaign grew more petulant as it wound down, with the leaders accusing their rivals of fearmongering and mudslinging while arguing they were presenting a positive message. More than 9.2 million people were eligible to cast ballots but political observers predicted a low turnout — perhaps below 2011, when a record low of 48.2 per cent of eligible voters cast ballots.

Judge nullifies ‘unconscionable’ fees for residential school survivors WILL RESULT IN SOME SURVIVORS REIMBURSED BY THE CANADIAN PRESS WINNIPEG — A Manitoba judge says extra fees charged to residential school survivors by companies that fill out forms were in many cases illegal and in some cases unconscionable. The ruling by Court of Queen’s Bench Justice Perry Schulman affects more than 30 lawyers and agencies across Canada and will result in some survivors reimbursed for fees they paid. “Given my view of the correct legal characterization of agreements between form-fillers and ... claimants, I have concluded that those agreements are presumptively void and unenforceable,� Schulman wrote in his decision released last week. “Apart from considerations of illegality, agreements to pay form fillers in circumstances of unequal bargaining power and where an improvident deal was made, such as the two examples in the record before this court, are unconscionable.� The case was brought before the court by the Independent Assessment Process, the organization that awards settlements in Indian residential school abuse cases. It said some victims were being overcharged.
CROWDSOURCING
Band uses social media in fight against regulator
Lawyers are entitled to a maximum legal fee of 30 per cent of an award, with the claimant and the federal government each chipping in half. But many claimants were paying additional fees to agencies that helped complete their paperwork. Schulman ruled the bulk of that work should have been done by lawyers at no extra charge. “In short, many of the services performed by formfillers as outlined in the evidentiary record before me are within the role of claimant’s counsel.� In one of the test cases before the court, Winnipeg lawyer Ken Caroll was also part owner of the formfilling company his firm used, though he says he abandoned that interest “very early in my involvement in the process.� Schulman found some survivors were confused and had been pressured into handing over money to the form-filling agency. In one case, a terminally ill woman from northwestern Ontario travelled to Winnipeg to collect her cheque in person. She was followed from Carroll’s law office to a bank by two workers with the formfilling agency so that they could get their cut. The woman “was not sure what was going on and was too afraid to complain or object,� Schulman wrote. A press release from Carroll a day after the ruling, in addition to specifying he had abandoned his stake in the form-filling firm, said Carroll had advised the
woman that “she had no other fees to pay to other parties� and that “she left our office with her bank draft and the person who travelled with her and no one else.� Schulman has declared null and void all agreements in which claimants are required to pay contingency fees to form-fillers, or to pay form-fillers through any means for legal work that should be done by lawyers. He has given companies 30 days to respond to a proposed further order that survivors can be charged nothing other than legal fees. Schulman has also ordered a review to establish a way to reimburse claimants for form-filling costs. The $5-billion residential schools settlement agreement is believed to be the largest class-action settlement in Canadian history. It is designed to resolve claims of abuse at more than 130 residential schools across the country. Carroll earlier told the court that as soon as he learned that the chief adjudicator was opposed to extra fees for form-filling, he changed his practices. He also reimbursed the claimants in the two test cases that were before the court. The Merchant Law Group, which has handled thousands of claims, said it did not use form-filling agencies but defended their role. Form-fillers work in remote communities and are often aboriginal people who can help bridge language and cultural challenges, the firm said.

EDMONTON — An Alberta aboriginal band is hoping to fund a court fight against the province’s oilsands regulator through a plea on the Internet and social media. The Beaver Lake First Nation filed a lawsuit against the Alberta Energy Regulator this week. Band member Crystal Lameman is hoping to use a crowdsourcing site supported by environmental groups, which include Greenpeace and the Sierra Club, to raise $100,000 to fund the action. Lameman also works for the Sierra Club. “I recognized that we need financial support,� she said Thursday. “I do not represent my nation in any way. I’m just a citizen doing my part.� Using social media and the Internet to raise money for a cause is becoming increasingly popular. The U.S. web site Crowdrise has raised about $135 million since 2010 for charity. Lameman previously raised about $33,000 in less than a month to help fund another of the band’s court cases against the province. “It’s become sort of the way you raise both money and awareness at the same time,� said Susan Smitten of the B.C.based group Respecting Aboriginal Values and Environmental Needs, which is also involved in the Beaver Lake effort. “Social media has made that so much more accessible.� The trick to crowdfunding, she said, is generating a crowd. “Attention spans are short,� said Smitten. “Crowdfunding is getting crowded.� Beaver Lake Chief Henry Gladue said he wasn’t aware of the drive for funds, but he added the band will be glad of any financial support. “We’re a small nation,� he said. “We don’t have the funds for all we need to do.� Beaver Lake is just starting to get involved in the oilsands industry, he said, and doesn’t have the revenues that some other bands do. “We welcome a little bit of assistance. It’s nice to have, for sure, but (the fundraisers) don’t really have any say in our case.� Beaver Lake is one of two aboriginal bands that filed a lawsuit Wednesday against the Alberta Energy Regulator after it denied them the right to speak at a public hearing on an oilsands project planned for their traditional lands.

Raitt vows to recover money from NDP for mass mailings BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

British Columbia Teachers’ Federation President Jim Iker announces a full-scale strike for school teachers is set for Tuesday, June 17 during a press conference in Vancouver, B.C., on Thursday.
B.C. teachers make last thrust to end dispute as strike looms REVISED CONTRACT PROPOSAL INCLUDES LOWERED WAGE DEMANDS BY TAMSYN BURGMANN THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER — An emboldened BC Teachers’ Federation leveraged its new strike mandate Thursday, giving 72-hours notice, while it also offered families of more than half-a-million students some hope for progress in negotiations before Tuesday’s job action. BCTF president Jim Iker warned that teachers were ready to walk, but added that the union would present a revised contract proposal to the B.C. government’s bargaining agent that “absolutely” included lowered wage demands. But more than 40,000 teachers were also instructed to pack up personal belongings and wish their students goodbye for the summer more than two weeks early. “There are still several days left during which both sides can hunker down, reach a settlement,” Iker said after declaring picket lines would go up on Tuesday if no headway was made over the weekend. “We’re ready to move.” There will be no school on Monday either, as teachers planned to be off-site for “study sessions” — essentially, one more day of rotating strike action — where they will discuss the new contact proposal or any progress made over the weekend, Iker said. B.C.’s education minister said he had listened to Iker’s announcement and was “optimistic, quite honestly” to hear the union was modifying its demands.
“I hope that the light at the end of the tunnel is that on Monday we have a tentative agreement that will end this and allow the school year to end on a positive note,” Peter Fassbender said, although he did not know details of the package. The prospect of movement came at the same time the employer received a decision from the B.C. Labour Relations Board dictating teachers must still mark provincial exams for senior students and have final grades ready for graduating students. The tribunal said teachers must be available to supervise provincial exams scheduled for Grades 10 through 12 students between June 16 to 24. Fassbender, however, said it was still possible the government might contract the marking out. The minister also said a province-imposed lockout will be lifted so students can attend summer school, but it was up to the union as to whether teachers would participate. Parents whose children attend Elsie Roy Elementary school in Vancouver weren’t impressed that the situation had gotten to this point. “I’m actually furious that education is being used as a bargaining chip in all of this,” said Coleen Rojas, whose son is in Grade 1. “I don’t have a side to take, but families in Vancouver should not be collateral damage.” Striking to get a resolution was not the best way to solve the conflict, said Jill Carter, whose son is in Grade 2.
“I understand the teachers’ position but this just impacts hundreds of thousands of people, all across the province,” she said. “I believe there has to be some common sense on both sides.” Teachers were finishing a third week of one-day rotating strikes through districts across the province, meaning that, barring a weekend deal, it was the last day of school for students whose schools would be closed on Friday. The union and the employers’ association were heading to talks still far apart on several issues, namely wages and classroom conditions. The union had been asking for a 9.75 increase over four years. The employers’ association, meanwhile, has offered a 7.3-per-cent hike over six years, along with a $1,200 signing bonus if a deal is reached before the end of June. The union received an 86 per cent strike mandate on Tuesday for a full-scale walkout after 16 months of contract negotiations. Teachers are feeling “kind of helpless” as they seek to improve their lot while simultaneously having to hold back from signing field trip forms at recess or refrain from answering childrens’ questions during lunch, said teacher Ig Cheung. He believes the added strike pressure will make a real difference at the bargaining table. “This is the time, make it or break it,” said Cheung, who has been teaching for 17 years and currently instructs Grade 10 in Surrey, B.C.

ST. CATHARINES, ONT.
TORONTO — Health Canada has reinstated the licence of Biolyse Pharma Corp., the manufacturer of the key cancer medication paclitaxel, allowing the Ontario company to resume operations with “amended terms and conditions.” The federal department pulled Biolyse’s establishment licence April 11 after identifying what it described as “significant concerns with the manufacturing process” during a January inspection. The nature of those concerns was not released at the time. The 60-employee St. Catharines, Ont., company was forced to shutter its operations, all the while disputing Health Canada’s findings. Biolyse has maintained that it has always adhered to stringent industry safety standards.
Biolyse says it supplies about 80 per cent of the Canadian market for paclitaxel, a drug commonly used to treat breast, ovarian and lung cancers. The company said it was informed late Wednesday that its licence was being returned to active status, following a three-day inspection of its premises in late May. “We’re relieved and it comes at a fraction of time between bankruptcy and success,” Biolyse president Brigitte Kiecken said Thursday from St. Catharines. “Since we couldn’t distribute, we couldn’t produce, we couldn’t do anything,” said Kiecken, adding that the company hopes to be up and running again in a month.

OTTAWA — The minister responsible for Canada Post says she will ensure New Democrat MPs pay back “every single penny” of free parliamentary postal privileges used to send out almost 2 million partisan missives. Transport Minister Lisa Raitt spoke Thursday with the head of Canada Post, Deepak Chopra, to make sure the post office has a plan for recovering $1.13 million in franked NDP mail. “Rest assured, every single penny that was misspent by the NDP will be paid back to hard working Canadian taxpayers,” she said in a statement issued by her office. Later Thursday, Raitt said she has not issued a directive to the Crown corporation to recover the cost of the free NDP mass mailings, which she is entitled to do under the Canada Post Corporation Act. “It was just a phone call to ensure that they understood the issue and that they’d be looking into it. That’s it.” She said she’s satisfied that the post office is taking the matter seriously. Raitt’s intervention followed a verdict late Wednesday by the secretive, multi-party board of internal economy that 23 New Democrat MPs improperly used parliamentary resources to send 1.8 million partisan mailings to households in 26 ridings, including four that were in the midst of byelections late last year. The board, which oversees the finances of the House of Commons and sets rules for MPs’ spending, ordered the NDP MPs to reimburse $36,000 in direct mailing costs to the Commons. It said it did not have the power to compel the MPs to reimburse Canada Post for misuse of $1.13 million in free mailing privileges, known as franking, but said they have an obligation to do so. The NDP maintains it has done nothing wrong and is the victim of a partisan gang-up by Conservative members of the board of internal economy, aided and abetted by the Liberals. The party intends to challenge the board’s ruling in court. “In a court of law, this ridiculous witch-hunt process is certainly not going to stand up,” asserted NDP House leader Peter Julian. Julian conceded challenging the privilege of Parliament to set its own rules “may be a grey area.” But citing renowned constitutional lawyer Julius Grey, he said any attempt by Canada Post, which is required by law to allow MPs to send mail free of charge, to recover the allegedly misused franking privileges would be “very clearly part of the public domain and subject to legal process.” Raitt’s intervention with Canada Post “almost adds an element of comedy to this witch hunt,” Julian added. He noted that the minister has repeatedly refused to intervene in the post office’s decision to phase out urban home mail delivery, claiming that Canada Post is an independent, arm’s length corporation. “So, there’s nothing we can do for the 5 million Canadians that are going to end up losing postal services but she intervenes with Canada Post on a Conservative witch hunt. I mean, it certainly shows where the priorities for the Conservatives are,” Julian said. A Canada Post spokesperson said the corporation is now reviewing “all commercial and regulatory aspects” of the board of internal economy’s decision. “This will be done in a timely manner and include compliance with the Canada Post Corporation Act, which contains the provisions for government mail,” Jon Hamilton said in a statement. Transport Canada gives Canada Post an annual subsidy of $22 million to help defray the cost of free government mail.

Intercepted BlackBerry messages used in sweep against alleged organized crime groups BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — Police in Quebec say intercepted BlackBerry communications were used to take down two alleged organized crime groups operating in the province. The RCMP said Thursday more than one million private PIN to PIN messages were intercepted and analyzed as evidence as part of an operation dubbed “Clemenza” that led to 33 arrests on Thursday. Officials from the RCMP and Montreal Police said it was the first time the investigative technique had been used on such a large scale in a criminal investigation. “This is the most important interception of this kind performed as part of a major investigation in North America,” RCMP Supt. Michel Arcand told a news conference. “One million messages were intercepted between 2010 and 2012 (and) the investigation also included a complex analysis process.” The RCMP said it would not divulge whether the BlackBerry company aided in their investigation and the firm’s media representatives said they were unable speak about “an ongoing police investigation.” Arcand said those intercepts make up the bulk of the evidence used to make the arrests. PIN messaging allows BlackBerry users to send messages directly between devices over wireless networks, bypassing email servers. The arrests were aimed at dismantling two cells which police said took over after Operation Colisee in late 2006, an operation aimed at their predecessors, the Rizzuto clan. Many of the top Rizzuto lieutenants were arrested during that sweep. Police described the cells as linked to Italian-based organized crime in Montreal. One clan was led by now-deceased mob boss Giuseppe De Vito while the other had an association with a group known as the Bastone brothers, police said. “We were dealing with very danger-

He said Operation Clemenza established a link between the two networks and a series of violent crimes that were committed in Montreal between October 2010 and February 2012. De Vito died at the Donnacona federal penitentiary last July while serving a 15-year sentence for drug trafficking. A coroner’s investigation
determined he died of cyanide poisoning. But his clan continued to operate, police said. Mafia expert Antonio Nicaso says the De Vito group, now apparently led by Giuseppe Fetta and Alessandro Sucapace and the other group headed by Bastone brothers, Antonio and Roberto, tried to capitalize on the vacuum created after by turmoil in the Rizzuto operation. All four men were among those arrested on Thursday. “They were extremely violent,” Nicaso said, describing the two cells as “the next generation of organized
crime,” who were very aggressive and very sophisticated, relying on modern technology much more than their predecessors. But their ultimate goal was the same. “Their goal was to control the territory, to extort money from restaurant owners and to sell narcotics, but they were using an extremely violent strategy,” Nicaso said. Nicaso also said it was “very likely” there would be another turf war after the latest arrests, as new groups move in to fill the void.
Conservatives vote down proposed changes to online surveillance bill OTTAWA — The Conservatives have defeated several proposals from opposition MPs to temper federal cyberbullying legislation — a bill many critics say would make it too easy for police, spies and others to monitor the public’s online activities. The legislation would make it illegal to distribute intimate images without consent and remove barriers to getting such pictures scrubbed from the Internet. However, it also overhauls the existing system of production and preservation orders and warrants, and would give authorities new tools to track and trace telecommunications to determine their origin or destination. At the Commons justice committee, opposition MPs put forward a raft of amendments to raise the hurdles authorities would have to clear before getting access to the data of Internet users, as well as build more accountability into the new system. Opposition members argued the
bill unduly lowers the threshold for obtaining some personal information, unnecessarily broadens immunity to companies that hand over information and lacks a requirement that agencies report on their use of the new powers. The Conservative majority on the committee ensured the defeat of almost all of their proposed amendments. The bill contains new powers under which sensitive information would become accessible to authorities based on a “reasonable suspicion” of wrongdoing, a standard lower than the constitutional default of “reasonable and probable grounds” to believe an offence has taken place. Green Party Leader Elizabeth May was among those who unsuccessfully tried to amend those provisions. The bill would give far too much licence to authorities, she said in an interview. “It basically means you could go on a witch hunt after absolutely anybody without anything that would meet the ’reasonable grounds’ test of previous criminal law.”

Russian envoy retires from Canada posting MAMEDOV ENDS CAREER AS CANNY COLD WARRIOR BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Georgiy Mamedov’s diplomatic career was forged in some of the fiercest political fires of the Cold War. As he prepares to depart Canada as the so-called dean of the country’s diplomatic corps after more than 11 years, it is as if he’s being re-baptized in those old Cold War flames all over again. The sharp-accented, sardonic and often provocative Russian ambassador to Canada has become the target of political and public disapproval of President Vladimir Putin’s annexation of Crimea and the ongoing unrest in eastern Ukraine Georgiy Mamedov caused by pro-Russian gunmen. He’s been called on the carpet behind closed doors in recent months by top Foreign Affairs officials, bearing Canada’s official outrage on behalf of the Putin government. He was even heckled in public — some called him a liar — at a recent business luncheon in Toronto. But as the 66-year-old diplomat told a packed noontime party in his honour at the Russian em-
bassy on Thursday, today’s tension with the West pales with the height of the Cold War when he was his country’s chief nuclear arms negotiator with the United States. “I’m absolutely honest telling you all difficult things now are incomparable (to) what used to be during the Cold War,” he said. “I’m absolutely sure that in another year we will return to normal in our relations.” Despite the hostile rhetoric from Ottawa aimed at the Kremlin these days, Mamedov said far more is uniting Canada and Russia than dividing them, including economic and military co-operation in the Far North, and a shared vision in its future. “To use the words of your prime minister — though I am not often in agreement with him, as you know — but still I agree when he says we have a special relationship: two northern energy superpowers,” he said. “Because much of what will happen in the next century will be about resources.” Few seasoned observers are surprised that the current Ukraine-Russian crisis has failed to knock Mamedov off his axis. “Behind the Falstaffian exterior is a canny and shrewd diplomat who knows how to play the game. (More) importantly, he likes to play the game and he is very good at it,” said retired Canadian diplomat Colin Robertson, vice-president of the Canadian Defence and Foreign Affairs Institute. Mamedov, who holds a doctorate in history, will depart Ottawa in the coming week and return to aca-
demic life in Moscow. Over the years, Mamedov has worked hard to build economic ties between Canada and Russia, in between finessing various flashpoints that periodically raised the ire of the current Harper government. Those include a Russian submarine planting a flag on the North Pole seabed, accusations of Russian bombers flying too close to Canadian airspace and disgraced Canadian navy sub-lieutenant Jeffrey Delisle, convicted of stealing and selling military secrets to Moscow. As of late, Mamedov has become the Canadian face of a “regime” that Prime Minister Stephen Harper has personally branded a threat to world peace. Paul Heinbecker, Canada’s former ambassador to the United Nations, recalled how Mamedov bore the brunt of some harsh criticism from his own government while the West was negotiating the end of the 1999 Kosovo crisis. NATO had bombed the former Yugoslavia for 78 days, driving Russia’s ally in Serbia out of the predominantly ethnically Albanian province of Kosovo. “He was constructive and resourceful and tough and faced down a lot of opposition inside Moscow to deliver the kind of deal Yeltsin could live with,” Heinbecker recalled. “I actually saw some of it.” Heinbecker said he came to hold Mamedov in high regard for rising above that pressure. “There were a lot of people in Moscow who thought this was abandoning the Serbs and letting NATO run wild. He was able to surmount that.”
We did our homework on F-35s: feds BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Federal officials sought to demonstrate Thursday how much work has been done to replace Canada’s aging CF-18 jets, but say the details of the evaluation will be kept secret while cabinet weighs whether to continue with the oft-maligned F-35 program. Members of an independent panel that looked at what fighter aircraft are available as replacements for the 30-year-old Hornets made a public appearance to emphasize the depth and impartiality of their assessment, 14 months in the making. That analysis, which essentially fact-checks the air force’s market evaluation, has been turned over to the government. It lays out what each of the four contenders can do. Separately, a committee of deputy ministers overseeing the replacement program has handed a recommendation to the Harper cabinet. The government could continue with the F-35 program, which has been on hold. It could choose an open competition involving the stealth fighter and other aircraft, including the Boeing Super Hornet, Eurofighter’s Typhoon, Dassault’s Rafale, and possibly the Saab Gripen. Rewriting the air force’s statement of requirements, which critics say was rigged in favour of the F-35, is another possibility and one that could postpone a replacement decision. No timeline was given, but government insiders said Thursday a substantive decision was expected soon. Prime Minister Stephen Harper told the House of Commons that the government found the report “helpful” and restated earlier pledges to make a decision in the best long-term interest of the military. In April 2012, auditor general Michael Ferguson slammed the Harper government’s plan to buy 65 stealth jets, accusing Public Works and National Defence of low-balling the cost and not doing their homework. The panel itself does not make a recommendation among the four fighter aircraft it examined, including the F-35, but instead left the choice up to the committee of deputy ministers and ultimately the cabinet.

Youths wandering streets with air pistol triggered alarm at school THE PAS, Man. — Schools and businesses in a Manitoba aboriginal community were briefly locked down after reports of two youths wandering the streets with a firearm. RCMP in The Pas say they got a call this morning about two youths walking on the Opaskwayak (OhPASS’-kwee-ahk) Cree reserve near the Saskatchewan boundary. Officers locked down schools and businesses on the reserve and in The Pas as a precaution. RCMP say two youths from the First Nation were found with an air pistol and arrested. The lockdown was lifted early in the afternoon.
Real Housewives cast member and daughter sue co-star for libel after shooting Former Real Housewives of Vancouver star Jody Claman and her daughter are suing a co-star for libel over comments made in the media after Claman’s daughter was injured in a drive-by shooting. Mia Deakin, who frequently made guest appearances on the reality television show before it was cancelled last year, was wounded Sunday in what police described as a targeted shooting in Vancouver’s east side. Deakin was standing at a gas station with a man who received minor injuries. Police have not speculated on a potential motive, but say the intended target appears to be the man. Reports of Deakin’s involvement surfaced the following day, when Claman’s Real Housewives co-star Mary Zilba spoke to a CBC-TV reporter about the shooting. “During the CBC interview, (Zilba) made defamatory comments that included statements to the effect that Ms. Deakin associated herself with criminals or individuals of unsavoury character and that Ms. Deakin herself engages in criminal behaviour,” said the statement of claim, filed Tuesday.

NEYMAR LEADS UNCONVINCING BRAZIL TO WIN OVER CROATIA IN WORLD CUP OPENER BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Brazil 3 Croatia 1 SAO PAULO, Brazil — Neymar gave Brazil a winning start to its home World Cup, scoring twice to lead the host nation to an unconvincing 3-1 victory over Croatia in the opening game on Thursday. In his 50th match with Brazil, the 22-year-old forward scored a goal in each half to help the hosts survive an early scare and escape disaster in front of a packed Itaquerao Stadium after Croatia had taken an early lead. Marcelo found his own net while trying to clear a low cross by Ivica Olic in the 11th minute, but Neymar then
SEE MORE ON THE WORLD CUP ON B7 showed why the nation’s high hopes are all pinned on him. He equalized in the 29th minute, clearing a defender in midfield before making a run toward the edge of the area and firing a perfectly placed low shot that went in off the post. The game turned on a controversial penalty awarded by Japanese referee Yuichi Nishimura in the 71st minute when striker Fred went down inside the area under minimal contact from defender Dejan Lovren. Neymar scored from the spot for his 33rd goal with Brazil. The Barcelona star got a standing ovation when he was
substituted near the end of the match. “It’s important to start these tournaments with the right foot, with a victory,” Neymar said. “I’m happy that I got to score, but the entire team deserves credit. We maintained our calm and showed we could battle back.” The Croatians were furious. “If that was a penalty, we should be playing basketball. Those kinds of fouls are penalized there,” Croatia coach Niko Kovac said. “That is shameful, this is not a World Cup referee. He had one kind of criteria for them and another for us. The rules were not the same,” Ko-
vac said. As Croatia searched desperately for an equalizer, Oscar added to the lead in the first minute of injury time with a toe poke from just outside the penalty area. Croatia had a few good chances toward the end and had a goal disallowed in the 83rd after the referee ruled Olic had fouled Brazil goalkeeper Julio Cesar. The host nation hasn’t lost the last nine times it played in the opening match. South Africa was held by Mexico to a 1-1 draw four years ago. A draw would have been a huge disappointment for Brazil, which had won its opening match the last eight times. The five-time champion entered the home tournament having
won 15 of its last 16 games, including five in last year’s Confederations Cup, the warm-up tournament it won. The team hadn’t been held to a draw in the opener since a 1-1 result against Sweden in the 1978 World Cup in Argentina. “The team didn’t give up,” Brazil defender David Luiz said “We knew it would be hard but we played well and got that first goal and then the victory.” The result kept Croatia without a win in its last five World Cup matches. Its last triumph was a 2-1 win over Italy in 2002. The Croats didn’t play in South Africa four years ago.

Kings look to fix Kaymer plays Pinehurst holes after arguably perfect for first round lead best game of Stanley Cup final
BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PINEHURST, N.C. — Much to his delight, Martin Kaymer discovered that Pinehurst No. 2 was even more different than he imagined in the U.S. Open. This wasn’t the beast of a course that Kaymer and so many other players were expecting. This was a day for scoring. Kaymer made six birdies Thursday afternoon, three on the final five holes, that sent the 29-year-old German to the lowest score in three Opens held at Pinehurst No. 2. He made a 6-foot par putt on the 18th hole for a 5-under 65 and a three-shot lead. “It was more playable than I thought,” he said. “I think that made a big difference mentally, that you feel like there are actually some birdies out there, not only bogeys.” So much was made of the new look at No. 2, which was restored to its old look from more than a half-century ago. There also was plenty of talk that this U.S. Open would be as tough as any U.S. Open. When he finished his final day of practice Wednesday under a broiling sun, Kaymer was asked what it would take to win. “I said plus 8 because the way the golf course played on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,” he said. “But obviously, they softened the conditions a little bit so it was more playable. So hopefully, I’m not right with the plus 8. I would be disappointed.” Former U.S. Open champion Graeme McDowell took the conservative route on his way to a 68.

After feeling satisfied about his team’s play in three losses to open the Stanley Cup final, New York Rangers coach Alain Vigneault could easily empathize with the Los Angeles Kings when the roles were reversed in Game 4. “It was a real tough game, I think, for L.A,” Vigneault said. “It was probably their best game of the playoffs that they’ve played against us.” And it was a loss, as the Kings failed to finish off the sweep thanks to 40 saves by Henrik Lundqvist, one by Anton Stralman and one by a combination of snow built up in the crease and Derek Stepan. That the Rangers needed so much luck and strong goaltending only underscored just how dominant Los Angeles was. Just don’t tell the resultsoriented Kings that. Even after players talked after wins about needing to play better, the self-criticism was turned up despite outshooting the Rangers 41-19. “At the end of the day, we weren’t good enough to win,” captain Dustin Brown said. “It’s about finding a way to be better.” The chance to do that comes in Friday’s Game 5 back at Staples Center in Los Angeles with the Kings still in command of the series and the Cup waiting nearby. After Game 4 at Madison Square Garden, it didn’t feel as though the Kings were on the cusp of the title, like it did

after they went up three games to none. All around the visiting locker-room there was talk about what areas needed to be better, from start to finish. “We still probably could play better for a full game,” fourth-line centre Mike Richards said. “It took us a little bit to get into it again for whatever reason.” A turnover off the opening faceoff by leading Conn Smythe Trophy candidate Drew Doughty was an inauspicious start, but the Kings still had the lion’s share of chances. No time was that more evident than in the third period, when the Kings shelled Lundqvist to the tune of 15 shots to New York’s one, which didn’t come until almost 13 minutes had elapsed. The puck was close to going in, but it didn’t. “We had some good chances in the third,” Brown said. “We have to put ourselves in better situations.” While the Kings gave Lundqvist his due for stonewalling them, they put the onus on themselves to get better scoring chances moving forward in the series. Quality, not quantity. “I think we can do a better job getting to him,” centre Anze Kopitar said. “I think (there) a couple of times where we didn’t make it tough on him. The pucks were sitting there. But the pucks he’s going to see, he’s going to stop. That’s just how it is.”

Spurs put stranglehold on series Bringing the with dominant win over Heat focus back to football nba finals
by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CFL players ratify new deal with league
Spurs 107 Heat 86 MIAMI — Here they are again, back on the brink of a championship. It slipped away from the San Antonio Spurs last year, but it would take something special — historic, actually — to stop them now. The Miami Heat would have to make the biggest comeback in NBA Finals history. “They’re the two-time champs, they’re a great team, and there is still one more game,” Spurs guard Tony Parker said. “We have to win one more game.” Kawhi Leonard had 20 points and 14 rebounds, and the Spurs routed the Heat again, winning 107-86 on Thursday night to open a commanding 3-1 lead. The Spurs can win their fifth NBA championship with a victory at home in Game 5 on Sunday and avenge their seven-game loss to Miami last year. They have three chances, and the way they’re dominating the Heat, they might need just one. “I’m pleased that they performed as well as they did while we’ve been in Miami, and that’s about as far as it goes,” Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. “Now we’ve got to go back home and play as well or better.” LeBron James had 28 points and eight rebounds, but Dwyane Wade was just 1 of 10 through three quarters and finished with 10 points. “They smashed us,” James said. “Two straight home games got off to awful starts. They came in and were much better than us in these last two games. It’s just that simple.” No team has overcome a 3-1 deficit in the finals, and the way the Heat were outclassed twice on their home floor makes it hard to imagine the two-time champions being the first. “We put ourselves in a position where it is about making history,” James added. Parker added 19 points, and Tim Duncan had 10 points and 11 rebounds for the Spurs, who shot 57 per cent from the field and are hitting 54 per cent in the series. The Spurs lost twice in Miami to end last year’s finals, their only defeat in the championship round. They won their two games in South Florida this time by a combined 40 points.

San Antonio Spurs guard Tony Parker goes to the basket as Miami Heat forward Rashard Lewis defends in Game 4 of the NBA Finals in Miami, Thursday. The Spurs won 107-86. another huge lead by halftime, and they withstood every attempt Miami made to make a run. “We were expecting a reaction from them but we were ready for it, so we just did the same thing,” Spurs forward Boris Diaw said. The Spurs knew their defence had to be better, realizing their once-ina-lifetime, 19-for-21 start in Tuesday’s 111-92 Game 3 victory covered the fact that they allowed Miami to make more than 50 per cent in the game. They held Miami to 35 per cent in the first half. “They played great and I can honestly say I don’t think any of us were expecting this type of performance,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. San Antonio blew the game open late in the second quarter with seven straight points, capped by Leonard’s soaring follow dunk that made it 5533. James, who battled cramps in Game 1, left the court and briefly returned to the locker room midway through the first quarter Thursday. But he had 10 quick points in the third quarter to bring Miami within 13, but San Antonio pushed it to 81-57 after three and never looked back.
quickly, the Heat’s two-year championship reign will come to an abrupt end. If this was the last home game of the season in Miami, it looked and sounded nothing like the ones to end the last two years, which featured confetti falling and trophies raised. This one had the unfamiliar sound of boos late in the first half and a chant of “Go Spurs Go!” with under 3 minutes left from the San Antonio fans who remained long after many of Miami’s had bolted. A Heat win Sunday would force a Game 6 in Miami Tuesday. The Heat had followed their last 13 post-season losses with a victory, but now at the end of a fourth straight season that has gone the distance, they might be out of gas. Miami seemed to lack the energy — or maybe effort — to defend San Antonio’s precision ball movement for the full 24 seconds, and time after time the Spurs ended up with a shot from somebody who didn’t have a defender nearby. Not quite as sharp as when they shot a finals-record 75.8 per cent in the first half Tuesday night, the Spurs were still plenty good enough to open
TORONTO — The CFL Players’ Association has voted to accept a new collective bargaining agreement with the league. The union said in a statement Thursday night that its players voted to accept the five-year contract reached Saturday with the CFL. “It’s a YES!” offensive lineman Peter Dyakowski, a player rep with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, tweeted. “We’ve got a new CBA! “It’s time to get back to football! Everybodywins.” The CFL’s board of governors is scheduled to vote on the deal Friday and the expectation is they’ll accept it. The CFLPA didn’t provide a breakdown of the votes but a majority of players — 50 per cent plus one — on six of the nine CFL teams was required for the deal to be accepted. The players voted in favour despite many expressing their unhappiness publicly and on social media about the deal. It offers a $5-million salary cap in the first year of the agreement after the CFLPA had originally sought a $6.24-million cap. Last year, the CFL’s salary cap was $4.4 million. The CFL also got the players to agree to its gross revenue formula that would trigger the renegotiation of the cap or entire collective agreement. The players, who initially wanted the CBA to include revenue sharing, wanted the cap or entire agreement renegotiated if league revenues increased by more than $18 million — excluding the Grey Cup — in the third year of the deal. But the union ultimately agreed to the CFL’s figure of $27 million. The union did get the option year on CFL contracts eliminated, excluding rookies. Also, the players’ practice day, for the most part, remains at 4.5 hours but can be increased to a maximum of six hours while teams will hold just one padded practice a week during the season. Toronto Argonauts players met Wednesday night to discuss the agreement and centre Jeff Keeping, a member of the union executive, said good questions were asked. “I’m happy the guys have all the facts,” Keeping said. “I feel at the end of the day the guys are more informed than they were prior to that. “The mood is mixed. Guys are entitled to their own opinion and every man is going to make his own choice.”.

Jack Daines riding off into the sunset AFTER MORE THAN HALF A CENTURY OF PUTTING ON A TOP NOTCH PROFESSIONAL RODEO, HE SAYS IT IS THE END OF THE LINE FOR HIM
RODEO
STORIES FROM PAGE B1
CUP: Help the team The tournament finally got underway as planned after months of talk about the preparation problems that plagued Brazil since it was picked as host seven years ago. The troubled Itaquerao, which wasn’t fully finished for the opener, held up without major setbacks to fans or the match itself, although part of the lights atop the pitch went out a few times for brief periods in the first half. Despite the support from most of the more than 62,100 fans in attendance, Brazil got off to a slow start and allowed Croatia to threaten early. It opened the scoring with one of its first chances as Marcelo failed to clear Olic’s cross. The ball was slightly redirected by striker Nikica Jelavic before the Brazilian defender touched it backward into the goal. “I stayed calm because if I let myself get down I would have hurt the team,” Marcelo said. “It’s not the first time that this has happened, so you have to stay relaxed to help the team.” The penalty kick was awarded when Fred appeared to be tugged inside the area by Lovren. The Croats insisted Fred wasn’t touched and at least five Croatian players swarmed around Nishimura of Japan to protest. Neymar converted his shot from the spot even though Croatia goalkeeper Stipe Pletikosa touched the ball and nearly made the save. Neymar had received a yellow card in the 27th for elbowing Real Madrid playmaker Luka Modric. The other Group A match will be played between Mexico and Cameroon in Natal on Friday.
OPEN: Preparing That featured 15 pars, one bogey, one birdie and one eagle. He was joined by Kevin Na, Brendon de Jonge and Fran Quinn, a 49-year-old who last played a U.S. Open in 1996, when Tiger Woods was still an amateur. “This was a golf course where I spent the last few days just preparing myself mentally for the challenge, really, knowing that this golf course wasn’t going to give much and it was only going to take,” McDowell said. “I’m assuming they put some water on this place this morning. And we were able to take advantage of that a little bit early on and actually think about getting at some of those flags.” Brandt Snedeker, who had a chance at 30 on his front nine, had to settle for being part of a large group at 69 that included 20-year-old Jordan Spieth, Henrik Stenson, Matt Kuchar and Dustin Johnson. The 15 players to break par were the most for an opening round at the U.S. Open since 24 players did it at rain-softened Olympia Fields in 2003. Phil Mickelson, in his latest quest to win the one major keeping him from the career Grand Slam, shot a 70. He was among the early starters, who re-
with the 95 point ride here in the saddle bronc riding – it was one of the highest rides ever made in rodeo, and it was made right here at the Daines Ranch.” Others recall the year when the scheduled rider for the legendary Calgary Stampede horse Grated Coconut couldn’t make it, so Daines offered a hundred dollar bill to World Champion Kelly Timberman to get on him, just for fun. The Wyoming cowboy was thrilled to do it, even in the pouring rain, and had the money framed along with a picture of the magical moment. Several generations of rodeo cowboys have made the Innisfail rodeo a regular part of their itinerary and Daines was as excited to see them come along, as he was to welcome rodeo notables like Trevor Brazile and Fred Whitfield. But there’s not much time for looking back when there’s still a rodeo to put on, and it isn’t long before Daines slips back into promotion mode, and begins highlighting the champions and matchup fans will see this weekend. “This is one of the greatest rodeos ever in the history of rodeo, and I just hope everybody would just take time and come this weekend for me, because this means a tremendous lot for me and my family.” “And there’s free camping and a free dance with your rodeo ticket,” he quickly adds. Daines’ plan is to ride off into the sunset after the buckles are handed out Sunday afternoon, but will that truly be the end of the story? A thank you plaque for Jack Daines in the rodeo office has the quote ‘This may be my last year’, but ends with a question mark. “There comes a time with everybody, and I don’t care whether you’re a politician or a rancher or a farmer, that you’ve got to sit down and say that’s enough,” stressed
ceived additional help by cloud cover that kept moisture in the greens. Mickelson doesn’t expect Pinehurst to be any easier the rest of the week. “There was some low scoring out there — some good scoring, I should say,” he said. “Anything around par, it’s usually a good score.” Masters champion Bubba Watson was among the exceptions. He shot a 76 and said, “This course is better than me right now.” The sun broke through shortly before noon and began to bake the course, though not enough to stop Kaymer. He watched some of the tournament on television in the morning, and he was particularly struck by the sight of Stenson’s 6-iron into the par-3 15th only rolling out a few feet. Kaymer expected it to roll off the green. “Last night I thought that it’s going to be very, very firm in the afternoon,” he said. “But actually, it was more playable than I thought.” Not everyone was able to take advantage. Defending champion Justin Rose had a 72, making his bid a little tougher to become the first repeat winner in 25 years. Adam Scott, the world No. 1 who has been formidable in every major the last two years except the U.S. Open, had a 73. Scott wasn’t about to panic. Pinehurst only figures to get more difficult. “You know how it’s going to be at the end of the week,” Scott said. “We’re going to be looking at even par, or something around that.” Kaymer picked up four birdies with relative ease — three wedges to inside 3 feet, and a high draw with a 3-wood to about 20 feet on the par-5 fifth for a two-putt birdie. A few longer putts at the end really dressed up the score. He hit a 6-iron at the flag on the 16th hole and made a 12-foot birdie putt, and then hit another 6-iron at the par-3 17th to about 10 feet for birdie. Kaymer tied the course record with a 63 in the opening round when he won The Players Championship last month, ending a drought of some 18 months. That only boosted his confidence, and the 65 on Thursday only adds to it. Even so, he realizes it’s only one round, and that the course probably won’t be so kind or gentle the rest of the way.
FINAL: Chances Twice, when Stralman knocked the puck off the goal-line in the first and when Stepan swept it off with 71 seconds left in the third, Lundqvist didn’t see the puck until it was almost too late. Alec Martinez could’ve had a goal and then an assist on a shot deflected by Tanner Pearson, but that wasn’t how things went for the Kings on Wednesday night. Doughty even called both goals against “pretty bad bounces.” And while luck has appeared to define this series, the Kings aren’t on the verge of a second championship in three years because they rely on good fortune. “If we clean up our play, you make your own bounces at this time of year,” Brown said. “We had chances that we didn’t put in the back of the net.”

Struggles follow Blue Jays to Baltimore BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Orioles 4 Blue Jays 2 BALTIMORE — In a matchup between the two top teams in the AL East, a rookie right-hander got the best of a 35-year-old looking for his major-league leading 11th win. Kevin Gausman gave up one run over six innings and Delmon Young homered as the Baltimore Orioles beat Mark Buehrle and the Toronto Blue Jays 4-2 on Thursday night. Nick Markakis had two hits and an RBI for the Orioles, who moved within 3 1-2 games of first-place Toronto. Gausman (2-1) allowed five hits, walked three and struck out three in his second consecutive solid outing. The 2012 first-round draft pick stymied Oakland on June 7 after being recalled from Triple-A Norfolk and now appears to be a fixture in the starting rotation. Well, maybe. “He’s done what it takes to be considered,” Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. “He’s taking care of his end of it.” Gausman, 23, has given up only two runs in 13 innings during his latest stint with Baltimore. “I feel good about what I’ve done. I feel comfortable right now,” Gausman said. “Whatever happens is going to be for the club’s best interest.” Zach Britton worked the ninth for his sixth save. The victory wasn’t secured, how-
ever, until a replay review confirmed the final out on a double-play grounder. Buehrle (10-3) yielded four runs and eight hits in 6 1-3 innings to lose his second straight start following a sixgame winning streak. The lefthander allowed three runs or fewer in 12 of his previous 13 starts. “I feel like there were times I made a lot of mistakes and they made me pay for them” Buehrle said. “And I made a few good pitches and they put the ball in play and got some base hits.” Toronto has lost three straight and five of six, scoring only four runs in those five defeats. “As hot as we were, we were going to cool off sooner or later,” manager John Gibbons said. “We’ll get it going. We’re too good of an offence. We’ll be OK.” Baltimore needed just two at-bats to take a 2-0 lead. Markakis led off with a single and the seldom-used Young sent a changeup into the seats in left field, his first home run since April 8, and only the fourth against Buehrle this season. It was the eighth straight game in which Toronto allowed the opposition to score first. In those games, the Blue Jays have been outscored 16-4 in the first three innings. “It seems like we’ve gone out as starting pitchers and given up runs in the first inning,” Buehrle said. “When

We got to do a better job going out there and throwing up zeroes.” The Orioles made it 3-0 in the third. Manny Machado led off with a double to end an 0-for-18 skid and Caleb Joseph delivered an RBI single. Toronto got a run in the fifth when Juan Francisco doubled and came home on
a single by Melky Cabrera. The double ended Baltimore’s string of 23 innings without allowing an extra-base hit, and the run snapped the Orioles’ streak of 19 consecutive scoreless innings. That would be the only flaw in an otherwise solid performance by Gausman, who was 0-1 with a 6.14 ERA in his previous four appearances against Toronto. “Gausman was good to-
night,” Gibbons said. “He’s got that overpowering fastball. He was keeping it in the zone. I think in the past he’s had some control issues, but it’s all coming together for him.” Doubles by Jonathan Schoop and Markakis put Baltimore up 4-1 in the seventh, and Toronto got a run off Ryan Webb in the eighth when Jose Bautista doubled, stole third and scored on a groundout by Adam Lind.
Benoit Groulx named Canada’s Rangers’ reprieve 2015 world juniors coach unlikely to last long BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — Benoit Groulx says it will take more than flashy statistics to ensure a spot on Canada’s junior hockey team. The Gatineau Olympiques head coach will lead Canada in its quest to end its gold medal drought at the 2015 world junior hockey championship held in Montreal and Toronto at the end of this year. As Groulx begins naming players to his roster over the next two weeks, he wants to look beyond goals and assists when sending out invitations to training camp. He and the rest of the coaching staff are looking to reinvent the selection process that has proved unsuccessful in the last tournaments. “Recent history has shown us that being a hundred-point guy on a first line is no longer enough at the Juniors,” Groulx said after Hockey Canada introduced him as the team’s head coach. “Our players have to raise their game. These are players who will one day be in the National Hockey League. They have the talent, but can they elevate their play? “That’s the message we’re sending. The level we’ve competed at these last few years simply wasn’t enough.” Canada is suffering through a five-year gold medal drought at the tournament after winning five consecutive years between 2005 and 2009. The team’s last medal, a bronze, came in 2012. Groulx was an assistant coach at the 2014 junior championship in Malmo, Sweden, where Canada finished fourth after losing to Russia in the bronze-medal game. The

Coach Benoit Groulx speaks with Louie Caporusso at the Canadian national junior hockey team development camp in Ottawa on in a July 27, 2008 photo. Hockey Canada announced Thursday that Groulx is back at the helm of the junior team ahead of the World Championships at the end of the year. 46-year-old says only elite players can challenge for the top of the podium. “We need guys who are selfdriven, who are relentless, guys who want to make the difference,” said the Hull, Que., native. “We need hundredpoint players who are ready to make changes, ready to play out of their comfort zones. To win that championship, you need world-class players.” Canada has 11 players eligible to return from last year’s squad, including goalie Zachary Fucale and forwards Jonathan Drouin, Curtis Lazar and NHL prospect Sam Reinhart. The team’s one-week development camp begins Aug. 9 in Montreal. The Canadians will also
host an exhibition tournament involving the Russian and Czech national junior teams which will be held in Montreal and Sherbrooke, Que. The goal is to keep competitiveness high as the world junior championship approaches. “Those are two great countries, two teams that we lost to last year,” said Hockey Canada’s Scott Salmond. “Any time you can bring those teams back in a competitive environment, and send a message to them, it’s great. It’s not a summer camp, it’s a competition, and we want to play to win.” After the exhibition games, Canada opens the 11-day tournament on Dec. 26 with a group game against Slovakia in Montreal.

Ware looking for new start in CFL DEFENSIVE BACK MATT WARE LOOKING TO KICK-START CFL CAREER WITH ARGONAUTS BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Matt Ware wasn’t ready to call it a career just yet. For two years Ware worked as a personal trainer in California, waiting for another chance to play pro football. There were workouts and discussions with other clubs after being released by the NFL’s Arizona Cardinals prior to the 2011 season, but nothing concrete materialized. That is until January, when the Toronto Argonauts came calling. So instead of pursuing a job as a firefighter as planned, the 31-year-old is trying to kick-start his pro career in the CFL. “I came here because I felt I had unfinished business,” Ware said following Thursday’s practice at York University. “I still have a love for the game and felt like I left (NFL) on bad terms. “I still want to play.” The six-foot-three, 218-pound Ware played seven NFL seasons with Philadelphia and Arizona. He spent two years with the Eagles, who selected the former UCLA star in the third round, 89th overall, in the ’04 draft, before joining the Cardinals. Ware played 95 career NFL games, his three starts all coming with Arizona. He recorded 115 tackles, one interception, three forced fumbles and one fumble recovery while playing in two Super Bowls (’04 with Philadelphia, ’08 with Arizona). But Ware wavered about wanting to return to the NFL. “It’s all in the Lord’s hands,” he said. “If I come up here and do a great job, who’s to say I wouldn’t just stay here? “I’m grateful for the opportunity to be an Argo.” Ware was a two-sport athlete at UCLA and played two seasons of minor-league baseball with the Seattle Mariners’ organization. Ware, a married father of two young daughters, played safety in the NFL
but is working at cornerback with Toronto. A revamped Argos defence — only cornerback Jalil Carter remains from the ’12 Grey Cup-winning unit — has a definite need at corner with all-star Pat Watkins signing with the Edmonton Eskimos as a free agent. Not only must Ware adjust to a new position but also a new team playing a different game with unlimited motion and an extra man on a longer, wider field. But first-year defensive co-ordinator Tim Burke said Thursday, so far so good. “He’s done really well,” Burke said of Ware. “He’s a smart guy, he understands how to learn and be a professional. “Rookies are up and down . . . I think having a guy like Matt is great for our defence.” Argos head coach Scott Milanovich is also impressed with Ware’s veteran savvy. “He strikes me as a very mature, veteran player who understands about preparation and all the little things we build our foundation on,” Milanovich said. “Physically, he’s a big, strong man who has good enough hips to play corner. “He’s a little bit like the guy we had last year (Watkins) but different styles. He’s doing a nice job for us.” And Ware is having fun making the transition to the wide-open, pass-happy Canadian game. “There are so many moving parts,” he said. “It just keeps you really in tune with the game. Sometimes in the NFL you can go out there and just have your guy and it gets a little monotonous even though it’s a great challenge.” Ware said a ringing endorsement of Toronto and the Argos from good friend Tyler Ebell — a former CFL running back with Edmonton, the Double Blue, B.C and Hamilton — certainly didn’t hurt his decision-making process. “He told me about his experiences here and how much he loved it,” Ware

Matt Ware was looking for another shot at pro football and his opportunity came by the way of the Toronto Argonauts. The 31-year-old defensive back is coming to the CFL after being out of the NFL for three years. said. “So I’m just excited to be here playing ball.” A huge advantage Ware has over other CFL rookies is his pro experience. When everything seems to be happening all at once on the field, Ware has a solid knowledge base to fall back on. “It’s still football,” he said. “No matter how the formation comes together or if six guys are all moving at once, it’s still football. “You really have to stick to your technique and keys, what the coaches told you to do because if you start looking at too much then you’re going to mess yourself up. If you’re in man to man you’ve got to work your feet, look at the hips and guard your guy. If you
have zone coverage, you need to see the big picture.” And with CFL players participating in a ratification vote Thursday, Ware certainly understands the business side of the game. He was still with Phoenix during the last NFL lockout, which lasted from March 12 to July 25, 2011. But he’s purposely not spoken to his new teammates about it. “The only thing I can do is handle what I can on the field,” Ware said. “It was a different situation, ours was a lockout. We had to prepare for that and we were prepared for it with our PA.” But Ware certainly learned from that experience.
Person familiar with legal strategy: Donald Sterling hires four private investigators THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling’s team of lawyers has hired four private investigation firms to dig up dirt on the NBA’s former and current commissioners and its 29 other owners, said a person with familiar with Sterling’s legal strategy. Investigators were given a six-figure budget over the next 30 days to examine the league’s finances, allegations of previous discriminatory conduct and compensation to past Commissioner David Stern and current Commissioner Adam Silver, said the person who spoke to The Associated Press on Thursday night on condition of anonymity. The person wasn’t authorized to talk publicly. The person said the investigators also are looking into whether other owners made any off-colour jokes, or racist or sexist remarks. “The gloves are off, as they say,” the person said. “Have them dig up all the dirt they can find.” The 80-year-old Sterling is suing the NBA for $1 billion in federal court after the league tried to oust him as Clippers owner for making racist remarks to a girlfriend that were recorded and publicized. Silver fined him $2.5 million and banned him for life. The suit alleges the league violated Sterling’s constitutional rights by relying on information from an “illegal” recording. It also said the league committed a breach of contract by fining Sterling and that it violated antitrust laws by trying to force a sale. Sterling’s attorneys will also be facing off with his wife’s attorneys in probate court during a four-day hearing scheduled for July.

Harvin feeling fast and healthy BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
tributor? Can Doug Baldwin move to the outside to replace Golden Tate and be as effective as he was playing mostly in the slot in previous seasons? And how can Seattle use Harvin’s skills to the fullest extent as long as he’s healthy from the start of the season? “Percy is spending a lot more time out there so that is bringing a new element of speed,” Seattle cornerback Ricahrd Sherman said. “Our offence is coming up with some cool concepts. It’s a fun little chess game out there.” NOTES: RB Marshawn Lynch was absent from the final OTA on Thursday, as he’s been during the Seahawks’ off-season program. Coach Pete Carroll was not made available to address reports that Lynch may skip next week’s mandatory minicamp. Lynch would be subject to fines of about $70,000 if he skips next week’s final three team sessions before the start of training camp in July. “We’d love to have him ... As long as he does his thing on Sunday, I got no problems with him at all,” centre Max Unger said.
SEATTLE SEAHAWKS
RENTON, Wash. — After the surgery and the rehabilitation, the setbacks and finally the triumph in the Super Bowl, a simple voluntary offseason workout has more meaning for Percy Harvin. His appreciation is a byproduct of spending most of his first season with the Seattle Seahawks as a spectator. “I’m just happy to be out here, I’m happy to be healthy right now,” Harvin said last month during the Seahawks’ organized team activities. “We’re all tuned into what we have to get done this next coming year so we’re all just out here working. It feels tremendously good to get back on the field and be as one.” Having Harvin fully healthy and ready to go from the start will be key for the Seahawks when they get to the start of training camp in late July. There are still three more days of workouts next week during minicamp to get through, but so far this off-sea-
son has been nothing but a success for Harvin in finally getting fully integrated into Seattle’s offence. Last season, Harvin pushed through the off-season workouts. It was a must in order to learn his new team, his new offence, his new quarterback after the trade that brought him to Seattle from Minnesota. But Harvin was never right, the pain in his hip never leaving. “I knew I had pain, I didn’t know exactly what it was so I just kind of pushed through the whole last year in the off-season,” Harvin said. The problem and what followed is now well known. Harvin had the labrum in his hip repaired and he played in only one regular-season game in 2013. He returned for the NFC divisional playoff game against New Orleans, only to get knocked out in the second quarter with a concussion. He missed the NFC championship game. Of course, Harvin made his presence known on the biggest stage, with
two big offensive plays in the first half of the Super Bowl and his 87-yard kickoff return for a touchdown to start the second half. The Super Bowl proved to be Harvin’s springboard. Within a couple of weeks of the season ending, Harvin was texting teammates to make sure they were getting started on their offseason workouts. He took part with many of Seattle’s wide receivers, tight ends and running backs during a pseudo-camp in Southern California organized by quarterback Russell Wilson. And Harvin’s been getting plenty of reps during the OTAs — all without pain. “This is probably the best I’ve ever felt since before college,” Harvin said. Having Harvin as a full participant gives Seattle a chance to try to sort out its receiving situation early. While there is depth in the group there are also questions. Will Sidney Rice be healthy enough to return and be a con-

One Roughrider to stand trial on assault charge, one will not REGINA — A football player with the CFL Saskatchewan Roughriders has been ordered to stand trial on a charge of aggravated assault. Taj Smith, a wide receiver with the Riders, was charged after a man was beaten outside Regina’s Pure Ultra Lounge last August. Dwight Anderson, a defensive back with the Roughriders, was also charged in the same case. However, after a twoday preliminary hearing held in Regina, a judge ruled there was enough evidence to warrant a trial in Smith’s case, but not for Anderson. No date has been set yet for Smith’s trial.
BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. — All that was missing was the Bambino — and the sun. On a rainy, late-spring day that forced the festivities inside, the Baseball Hall of Fame celebrated its diamond anniversary on Thursday with more than 300 people gathered in the museum’s showpiece Plaque Gallery. “It’s a significant birthday. It’s well worth celebrating,” Cal Ripken said before he and fellow Hall of Famer Phil Niekro helped cut a piece of a huge birthday cake made for the occasion with the Hall of Fame’s 75th anniversary logo in the middle. “It is the history of baseball.”
OAKVILLE, Ont. — Canada tinkered with its roster before facing Scotland in an international rugby Test match Saturday at Toronto’s BMO Field. Head coach Kieran Crowley made three changes Canada’s starting lineup that lost 34-25 to Japan last Saturday at Swangard Stadium in Burnaby, B.C. Hooker Aaron Carpenter was added to the forwards. He will join props Hubert Buydens and Jason Marshall in the front row. Jebb Sinclair will make his first appearance for Canada this year at blindside flanker after missing the Japan game with a leg strain. He will join John Moonlight and captain Tyler Ardron in Canada’s back row. Scrum half Phil Mack was also inserted into the lineup. Tyler Hotson, Jamie Cudmore, Harry Jones , Nick Blevins, Ciaran Hearn, Jeff Hassler, Taylor Paris and James Pritchard round out Canada’s starters.
Oilers sign centre Steve Pinizzotto to one-year deal EDMONTON — The Edmonton Oilers have signed centre Steve Pinizzotto to a one-year contract. Pinizzotto, 30, appeared in six games with the Oilers last season, recording two assists and 15 penalty minutes. The six-foot-one, 200-pound centre from Mississauga, Ont., split the 2013-14 season between the American Hockey League’s San Antonio Rampage and Oklahoma City Barons, posting 25 points (12 goals, 13 assists) and 183 penalty minutes in 51 games. Pinizzotto has appeared in 18 career NHL games with the Vancouver Canucks and Edmonton Oilers.

Clark. “It has made an indelible mark on this region and all of baseball. What a visionary my grandfather was, taking Cooperstown and giving it things that would carry it into the next century.” The first class of inductees was elected in 1936 — Ty Cobb, Walter Johnson, Christy Mathewson, Honus Wagner and Babe Ruth — and the Hall of Fame opened three years later — 100 years after the Doubleday idea was born. Ruth was the centerpiece of that first class, and he attended the Hall of Fame’s official opening on June 12, 1939. He was the last person to speak before Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis officially opened the museum.
Stephen Clark, a Cooperstown native and grandson of one of the founders of the Singer Sewing Machine Co., and National League president Ford Frick were the main movers behind the creation of the Hall of Fame. They championed the idea based on the myth that Abner Doubleday invented baseball in Cooperstown. The first sports hall of fame in the world opened in 1939 and has morphed from a one-room building into a 50,000-square-foot shrine with 40,000 artifacts and a library featuring 3 million items. “We are baseball’s version of the Smithsonian and the Library of Congress, all in one,” said Hall of Fame Chairman Jane Forbes Clark, granddaughter of Stephen

Brazil best bet to win World Cup WORLD CUP PREVIEW BY JEREMY STAHL SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE So your friends invited you over to watch the World Cup, but you don’t know Cristiano Ronaldo from Ronald McDonald? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Here’s a World Cup cheat sheet that would make Gus Johnson sound like Ray Hudson. To simplify things, we’re going to go through the tournament group by group.
GROUP A
Talking points: This one is easy. Brazil will win the group. Then it will win the World Cup. Or at least it should. Goldman Sachs gives the Seleção — that’s the nickname for the Brazilian national team — a 48.5 percent chance of winning the tournament. Host countries tend to perform very well, having won the tournament six times out of 19. According to Goldman Sachs, homefield advantage is worth 0.4 extra goals per game, plus home-continent advantage is worth an additional 0.2 goals per game. That’s a significant built-in edge. So everyone else in Group A — Cameroon, Croatia and Mexico — is playing for second place. You should also know that Brazilians are not happy with hosting this World Cup. There’s a sense in the country that the roughly $11 billion cost of hosting the tournament could have been better spent on the nation’s neglected infrastructure. Historical context: Sure, the Seleção should win this World Cup. But they should have won it the last time it was hosted in the country in 1950. Instead, they lost to tiny regional rivals Uruguay. This defeat is still considered a national tragedy. Seriously. They have a name for it: Maracanazo, or the “Maracanã Blow,” after Rio’s Maracanã Stadium where the match took place. It has been described as the country’s Hiroshima and 9/11. So, yeah, they take soccer pretty seriously. This was all before teams led by Pelé and Garrincha won three out of four World Cups between 1958 and 1970. The team has won it twice more since, in 1994 and 2002, and has the most victories of any nation with five. But if they don’t win this year, the disappointment could be as crushing as in 1950.
GROUP B
Talking points: Spain has been the world’s greatest team for the past six years and is one of the greatest collections of talent ever in international soccer. They are attempting to defend their World Cup title and become the first team to win four consecutive major tournaments (they have also won the last two European Championships). They won the last World Cup playing a beautiful style of possession and shortpassing soccer known as tiki-taka, but have shown the ability to shift tactics as the situation required in recent years. Brazil crushed them 3-0 in the final of the Confederations Cup last year, a normally meaningless tournament that took on actual significance when the two 2014 favorites met in the final game. The group also contains a potent Chile squad and 2010 runners-up the Netherlands. Chile has a brilliant forward named Alexis Sanchez. The Netherlands are probably the weakest of the three favorites, but any of them could win the group and make a run to the final in the non-Brazilian half of the draw. Whoever finishes second in the group will likely have to face Brazil in the second round and will likely lose. Australia will finish last in the group. Sorry, Socceroos. Historical context: As mentioned, Spain beat the Netherlands in the last World Cup final. These two will square off in the group opener, which has the potential to devolve into the ugliness of the 2010 title match. In that game the Dutch racked up a record number of yellow cards and Nigel de Jong managed to karate kick Spanish midfielder Xabi Alonso in the chest without being sent off (both players will be in Brazil). The other interesting historical dynamic lies within the Spanish national side itself. The team is made up largely of players from archrivals Real Madrid and Barcelona. Beloved Spanish coach Vincente del Bosque has done a brilliant job of turning these two normally warring factions into teammates and allies.
GROUP C
Talking points: Colombia would have been the clear favorites for this group and should probably still be considered as such. But their star goalscorer, Radamel Falcao, was forced to withdraw from the team on the eve of the tournament because of a knee injury. Ivory Coast, meanwhile, is led by one of the top-five players in the world in Yaya Touré, who carried Manchester City to the Premier League title this year. Touré’s occasional appearance of slackness on the pitch belies his deadly combination of size, strength, quickness and control. He’s like a tiger waiting for the exact right moment to pounce, and when he does, it can be a religious experience. Japan and Greece are boring. Historical context: This summer marks the 20th anniversary of the tragic death of Colombian Andrés Escobar. Escobar, no relation to the infamous Colombian drug kingpin Pablo, was
murdered back home shortly after an own-goal against the United States helped lead his team to be eliminated from the 1994 World Cup. Jeff and Michael Zimbalist made an amazing documentary about it as part of ESPN’s “30 for 30” series that even nonsports fans will appreciate (it’s on Netflix). Ivory Coast has been home to Africa’s biggest stars of the past decade in Touré and Didier Drogba, but has never managed to click as a team.
GROUP D
Talking points: Italy plays England in what should be a thrilling group opener. On the field, England’s youthful squad looked good in a 2-2 warm-up draw against Ecuador and could upend the nation’s for-once low expectations. Uruguay has one of the best attacking trios in the tournament in Diego Forlan, Edinson Cavani, and the guy who beat out Touré for the Professional Footballers’ Association player of the year, Luis Suarez. Oh, yeah, Costa Rica is in the group, too. Historical context: Italy is the second-winningest team in World Cup history behind Brazil with four titles, its most recent coming in 2006 after Zinedine Zidane’s infamous headbutt. They have a reputation for being a lockdown defensive unit, and for legendary diving. England has a long national history of expecting to win every World Cup, then never actually doing it, except for one time in 1966. Uruguay won the last World Cup held in Brazil, shocking the hosts in the 1950 final. In South Africa four years ago, the team’s star player Luis Suarez made the save of the tournament. Unfortunately, it was an illegal handball and he became a much-hated man after his violation prevented fan favorites Ghana from becoming the first-ever African team to reach the semifinals. He also bit some people and allegedly said some racist stuff.
GROUP E
Talking points: Group E is the most boring of them all. The most interesting team here is France, but they will be missing star Franck Ribéry, who suffered a pretournament back injury. France heads into Brazil feeding off of the confidence from an 8-0 demolition of Jamaica in a pretournament friendly. (Unfortunately for France, Jamaica will not be in Brazil.) The breakout star on the French team could be Antoine Griezmann, who came into the Jamaica game as a sub for the last 20 minutes and tallied two goals and an assist. Off the field there is the usual drama for Les Bleus. The team’s manager Didier Deschamps is suing French star Samir Nasri’s girlfriend after she went on an obscenity-laced Twitter rant attacking Deschamps for leaving Nasri off the team. Elsewhere in the group, Ecuador has looked strong in pretournament warm-ups and could contend with Switzerland for second place. Honduras suffered an embarrassing 4-2 preWorld Cup defeat to Israel, and should be the also-rans of the group. Historical context: France is the only team in this group to have ever reached the semifinals of a World Cup. They triumphed at home in 1998 and finished runners-up in 2006. Last time around, though, the team was the joke of the tournament, with players living up to national stereotypes and going on strike. This is a much different team, a much younger one that has actually started to inspire a bit of hope back home.
GROUP F
Talking points: Argentina is one of the tournament favorites and has more star power than even the Brazilians. They have the best player in the world in Lionel Messi, and the most dangerous group of attackers in the tournament with Sergio Agüero, Ángel di María and Gonzalo Higuaín. Di María, especially, had a fantastic season for Champions League winners Real Madrid. Argentina’s defense is a potential weakness, though. Bosnia is making its World Cup debut, led by star Manchester City striker Edin Džeko, and is slightly favored to go through out of this group in second place. But the rest of the group is quite close. Nigeria are African champions, while Iran has shown the ability to come up with an upset at the World Cup in the past. Historical context: Argentina won the 1986 World Cup after Diego Maradona, considered by many to be even better than Pelé, scored two of the most famous goals in World Cup history in the quarter-finals against England. The first, known as the “Hand of God,” was a blatant handball that the referee missed. He very shortly after scored what has been declared by FIFA as the greatest goal of the 20th century. It was a pretty good goal. Maradona performed poorly as the national team manager at the last World Cup, and has been dogged by a long history of health and drug problems. Sometimes forgotten is that Argentina also won the World Cup in 1978 as hosts amid rumors that the military Junta bought off the Peruvian national team to throw their match with a 35,000-ton shipment of free grain and a $50 million interest-free loan. More recently, Messi has disappointed for the national team, while basically being Michael Jordan at Barcelona.

GROUP G
Talking points: Germany is the second-ranked team in the world according to FIFA, behind Spain and ahead of Brazil, and is a strong title contender. Their striker Miroslav Klose needs just two more goals to break the World Cup record of 15, held by Brazil’s Ronaldo. Portugal is led by the other Ronaldo, whose first name is Cristiano. Don’t be confused! The Brazilian Ronaldo retired three years ago and has been more known in recent years by his sometimes affectionate nickname “Fat Ronaldo.” Cristiano Ronaldo, meanwhile, has a different kind of body image issue, the kind where you are prone to take your shirt off for no reason as he did after scoring a meaningless penalty in the Champions League final for Real Madrid. There were concerns about tendinitis in Ronaldo’s knee heading into the tournament, but he dispelled them with an impressive showing in a 5-1 romp over Ireland in the team’s final pretournament warm-up match. The United States and Ghana both must hope that Ronaldo and Portugal falter if either has a chance at finishing second in the group behind Germany. Historical context: Germany has won the tournament three times and finished runners-up four times, the thirdbest record behind Brazil and Italy. They finished third in the last two tournaments, and second before that, but their last title came way back in 1990. That team included star striker Jürgen Klinsmann, who is now the coach of the U.S. men’s national team. Klinsmann, who lives in California with his American wife and children, has said he’ll sing both national anthems when Germany and the U.S. meet in their final group game on June 26. He also earned the ire of many a U.S. fan for leaving star man Landon Donovan off his 23-man roster for vari-

ous probably personal reasons. So if the U.S. has a really bad campaign, Klinsmann could be the scapegoat. Despite the team really looking good in its final tune-up match, this is a distinct possibility. The U.S. plays a mustwin opening match against a strong Ghanian team. Ghana, coincidentally, has eliminated the Americans from the last two tournaments.
GROUP H
Talking points: The only thing preventing this from being the least interesting group is the presence of Belgium. Everyone loves Belgium! Why? They have one of the best goalkeepers in the world in Thibaut Courtois, who helped lead Atlético Madrid to a shock Spanish title this year and a runner-up finish in the Champions League. The team also has several stars from the English league, including Manchester City defender Vincent Kompany, Chelsea striker Eden Hazard, and Everton’s Romelu Lukaku, who has been straining to recover from an ankle injury in recent weeks. Russia, Algeria and Korea all have a shot at finishing second, and whoever emerges will be easy pickings in the tournament’s knockout stage Historical context: Thanks to this weak group, Belgium could easily earn their best World Cup finish in years. The team has only gone further than the second round once, reaching the semifinals in 1986, and hasn’t even qualified for the World Cup since the 2002 tournament held in Japan and South Korea. In that tournament, South Korea made it all the way to the semifinals thanks in large part to the horrible refereeing of Byron Moreno. The Ecuadorian official, considered the worst referee ever by Italians, has had a rough time since then, losing his job and becoming a heroin smuggler. Without home-field advantage and the help of a Moreno-like refereeing disaster, don’t be surprised if this South Korean team doesn’t make it out of the group stage.

SEATTLE MARINERS BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SEATTLE — Former top prospect Jesus Montero was recalled by the Seattle Mariners on Thursday, his first stint in the majors since a 50-game suspension after being connected to baseball’s Biogenesis investigation. Seattle gave Montero another chance in the majors after outfielder Michael Saunders was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a shoulder injury. Montero was one of the limited choices Seattle had at the Triple-A level for a short-term bat. Seattle manager Lloyd McClendon said Montero would be mostly used against left-handed pitchers and as a designated hitter, but is an option to play in the field at first base. “I think he’s trying to get things back together. He’s been working hard and he’s actually been swinging the bat better than the numbers indicated down there,” McClendon said. “For me he was the logical choice. ... It made sense to bring this young man and give him an opportunity.” Montero was the centerpiece of a trade before the 2012 season that sent pitcher Michael Pineda to New York and brought Montero to Seattle. He was a top prospect in the Yankees organization because of his potential as a hitter but has not matched that expectation in Seattle. In his time with the Mariners, Montero is hitting .252 with 18 homers and 71 RBIs in 164 career games. All of those came before Montero was suspended. He was sent down to the minors last season when he was hitting just .208 and that was followed by the suspension and knee surgery to repair torn meniscus. He didn’t endear himself to McClendon and Seattle’s new coaching staff after showing up for spring training out of shape. Montero said cardio work has been a big part of his regime in the minors, along with learning first base. Montero was hitting .270 with eight homers and 15 doubles at Triple-A, although he had just one homer in his past month.

The suit was electronically filed May 30 in St. Johns County. Bouncer Kasim Howard is suing Jones-Drew, saying the former Jacksonville Jaguars star punched him May 26, 2013, at the Conch House Restaurant. Howard accuses Jones-Drew of intentionally causing injury and severe emotional distress. Howard is seeking a judgment for injury resulting in “pain and suffering, loss of capacity of for enjoyment of life, expense of hospitaliza-

We will deal with this in the judicial system as we have everything else.” According to the lawsuit, Howard attempted to use a “bear hug” to physically remove an intoxicated patron from the restaurant on Memorial Day. Jones-Drew, who was in a group with the patron, allegedly tried to intervene. Howard told Jones-Drew he was escorting the patron out. Jones-Drew appeared to walk away, according to the suit, but then blind-sided Howard with a punch to the left jaw.

Getting over the disappointment PATRICK CHAN’S FUTURE UNCLEAR AFTER STRUGGLES IN SOCHI the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics. Chan does plan to skip a few competitions next season and will wait until the fall before making a decision on the nationals and world championships. “I’m going to take a bit of a break from the Grand Prix season,� Chan said. “I’ve done it so many years, I think I deserve a bit of a break from it. Just take that opportunity to catch up with friends that I haven’t had a chance to and play some hockey or go do things that I’ve always wanted to do and just haven’t had the chance. “I think that will help me find that motivation again to come back. Just so I feel like I’m not missing out on some stuff that I’ve wanted to do since my childhood.� Chan, looking relaxed and happy at a promotional event Thursday in his hometown, enjoyed some vacation time after the season ended. He’s looking forward to playing some golf over the next few months and taking part in activities that he normally doesn’t get to do because of his training schedule. The 23-year-old will continue to skate through the summer, just not at his usual high intensity. If he decides to return for the Canadian championships, he estimates that he’d need about two months to get back to top form. “That’s another thing to consider,� he said. “It’s not something I can just show up at in January and hope that I skate well and win another title. It’s something that I have to really prepare and I’d want to prepare properly so I’d have to take time out of the fall to start training for that.� The nationals will be held Jan. 17-25 at the Rogers K-Rock Centre in Kingston, Ont. Shanghai will host the March 23-29 world championship.
BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Canadian figure skater Patrick Chan still hasn’t watched the tape of his performance at the Sochi Olympics. He’s not planning to any time soon either. Chan had a glorious opportunity to become Canada’s first Olympic men’s figure skating champion last February, but struggled in his free skate and settled for silver behind Japan’s Yuzuru Hanyu. “It took me some time at the Games to get over the disappointment of being so close, yet so far,� Chan said. “I had a couple reminders when I was on tour in Japan skating with Yuzuru in the shows. That didn’t help either. So I think the last thing I want do is look back at the programs even though some things were great. “Knowing me, I’m a perfectionist, I’ll just pick on the bad stuff. It will eat away at me. For me, the best way to cope with how I did is just look at those two medals I got and look at them as two great silver medals. Silver medals that a lot of people dream to have and then move on. Move on by sharing it with Canada, sharing it with people here. That helps me cope with that bit of a disappointment.� Chan, who also helped Canada finish second in the inaugural team event, did not try to win a fourth straight world title this year. He skipped the event in Japan and Hanyu took gold there as well. The Toronto figure skater’s future remains unclear. He has yet to decide whether he’s up for another four-year cycle ahead of
ONE DAY DEALS! ONE DAY DEALS!
By Chan’s preparation timeline, he would need to make a choice by mid-November. It’s a decision that he’s comfortable putting off until the fall. “I’ll just start stressing a lot more on it so I try to not even think about it for the moment,� he said. “If I’m committing to the next four years to the next Games, then I want to take at least one year for myself to not stress and just take a breath and really plan my life just by what I want to do, not what people tell me to do.� The seven-time national champion finished fifth in his Olympic debut in Vancouver in 2010.

silver four years later, he found that watching other athletes succeed at the Games lifted his spirits. “I kind of lived through them,� he said. “That really helped me settle my thoughts and settle my nerves and I guess my frustration.� When he returned to Canada, he had a hard time getting a good night’s sleep for the first week he was back. He would often replay parts of the performance in his mind. “Sometimes I’d be laying in bed and not being able to sleep and I’d just start thinking about how things could have been different,� he said.

Year-round market interest is high LEADERSHIP NEEDED BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF There’s high interest from customers and vendors in starting a year-round farmers market in Red Deer, according to a new study. The main hurdle would be getting an individual or group to take a leadership role in getting it off the ground. “There are mixed feelings among organizers . . . . Most are ready to join a movement, but not ready to take the lead,” said Corey Tibble. The Equis employee was part of a team who completed a study on the market as part of a seven-month course
offered by the non-profit Leadership Network. Other team members were Nick Greba of Nova Chemicals, Pam Halvorson from CrossRoads Church, Sonny Nagra of MEGlobal and Ron Barr of Red Deer County. Studying public interest in a year-round market was suggested by ReThink Red Deer. The non-profit group that encourages local initiatives didn’t want the notion to die with the demolition of the city transit barns, said ReThink Red Deer’s project leader Rene Michalak. The old bus barns — once suggested as a site for a year-round market — are planned to be levelled by October. According to the city, the buildings are too dilapidated to be preserved. At the Leadership Network’s presentation of the study on Thursday, Tibble talked
BLOOD DONOR WEEK
about how his team created an online survey for market stakeholders. The results of the questionnaire were largely positive towards the idea of forming a year-round farmers market in Red Deer. Most surveyed potential market customers were overwhelmingly in favour of it, and would travel up to 20 km to go to a allseason market. Most vendors would also support it — if it were only held once a week. (Some stated, however, that they could only support one farmers market and they currently were supporting another one.) Respondents felt the availability of fresh, locally grown produce, homemade baked goods, arts and crafts and innovative products are key to the market’s success.

Susan Tyndall of Canadian Blood Services takes blood from Gerry Shaw on Wednesday afternoon as part of National Blood Donor Week. National Blood Donor Week was established in 2008, and provides an opportunity to raise awareness about the importance of donating blood. The National Inventory of blood donations is lower than it has been in the last five years.
Youth and Volunteer Centre director decides to retire After 10 years as the executive director of the Youth and Volunteer Centre of Red Deer, David Murphy is retiring and planning to travel. “It has been amazing working to provide great programs and supports for children and youth in our community,” said Murphy in a release. “I am grateful for the opportunity and so proud of what we have accomplished by working together. Our dedicated volunteers, incredible staff and the amazing support from the community have made this a great experience.” Murphy and his partner, Cheryl Rice, have sold their home and plan to travel with their newfound free time. Janet Whitesell, Youth and Volunteer Centre board chair, said Murphy made significant and valued contributions to the organization over his 10 years at the helm. “David’s leadership has allowed the agency to increase the number of
children and youth impacted by our programs, foster huge amounts of community support and develop a strong board focused on governance,” said Whitesell. More recently, he was involved in bringing the celebrity dance-off fundraiser to the Youth and Volunteer Centre, raising $400,000, and the Weekend Warrior projects, including the recent mass build at Camp Alexo near Nordegg. About 300 people did close to $1 million worth of improvements to the camp, including new cabins and sports courts. A search is underway to find a new executive director. The Youth and Volunteer Centre serves more than 1,700 children and youth in Central Alberta. Its staff support programs such as Big Brothers and Big Sisters, the Boys and Girls Club, the 49th Avenue Youth Shelter and Camp Alexo.
A controversial proposed campground on Gull Lake has narrowly cleared another step in the approval process in Lacombe County. Eagle’s Nest is a private 20-lot campground slated for a 26-acre site between DeGraff’s Resort and Wilson’s Beach Campground at the southeast end of the lake. Council approved second reading of a rezoning bylaw 4-3 on Thursday. Neighbouring recreational resorts and council members have expressed concerns that Eagles’ Nest proponents have chosen not to rezone the land as a recreational vehicle resort district. Instead, it will be zoned under a different recreational category that does not carry the same strict requirements. Representatives for both neighbouring developments and the Gull Lake Watershed Society have expressed concerns that the development will not face the same criteria for environmental protection as other developments in the area. For instance, how waste water will be treated has been a recurring issue and developers have upgraded earlier proposals to meet standards. Concerns about providing public access and environmental reserves to protect the lake front have also been addressed after early concerns were raised. Some councillors questioned whether passing second reading implied approval of the proposal. Coun. Rod McDermand said going to second reading “clouds the whole issue. “I think that creates issues for planning. It may even create legal issues.” Dale Freitag, county manager of planning services, said staff will be working with Eagle’s Nest to see that they bring the project as close as possible to the standards that would have been required under recreational vehicle zoning through a development agreement. If planners and Eagle’s Nest backers don’t see eye to eye, a development agreement would not be recommended and council can choose not to give final approval. Tim Gibbs, who is developing Eagle’s Nest and plans to camp there, expressed frustration with how long the process was taking, saying they had complied with everything asked of them, including water and sewer systems. Gibbs is confident that any remaining issues can be worked out through the development agreement. “I’m very positive it will go forward. We have done everything they have asked us to do from day one. “We went the way we went because that’s what I was advised to do by the planning department.” Part of the issue is that Eagle’s Nest wants to remains rustic and does not want to resemble a recreational vehicle resort with paved roads and streetlights.

Heart and stroke report has good, bad news TREATMENTS BETTER BUT RATES JUMP BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF A new study from the Heart and Stroke Foundation shows the rate of strokes for people in their 50s has increased 24 per cent in the last decade. According to Together Against A Rising Tide: Advancing Stroke Systems Of Care, there was also a 13 per cent increase in strokes for those in their 60s. Results from the Canadian study came out last week after recent international studies predicted that stroke rates among those age 24 to 64 will double in the next 15 years. Donna Hastings, CEO with the Heart and Stroke Foundation for Alberta, Northwest Territories and Nunavut, said high blood pressure plays a major role in the increasing rate of strokes. “There’s more uncontrolled hypertension believed to be attributed to our fastpaced, stressful lifestyle, unidentified and untreated hypertension, and we also have the increase in diabetes in the population, which is also a co-factor. Coronary disease
will complicate the stroke factor as well,” Hastings said. She said the Canadian report is a mix of good news and bad news. “Good news in that stroke care has improved and death rates from strokes are on decline. But the bad news is our research is showing the gains we’ve seen are going to be challenged by younger and younger people having strokes.” In Alberta, there are 4,500 strokes a year and 2,770 mini-strokes. “That means there’s 20 strokes and ministrokes a day in the province of Alberta.” The Heart and Stroke Foundation and Alberta Health Services are working on stroke prevention, treatment and recovery. She said in recent years, the number of stroke prevention clinics in Alberta has increased from three to 12 and the number of primary stroke centres, where clot-busting drugs can be administered, has climbed from three to 15. Both a clinic and a centre are located at Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre. Doctors at Red Deer hospital can also communicate with specialists in Calgary and Edmonton through Telestroke, with videoconferencing and CT image sharing technology capabilities, to help diagnose and determine a care plan. szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com

BRIEFS Home invasion sentence coming A man convicted of being part of a home invasion in Red Deer last May is still awaiting his sentence. David James Kertesz, 28, was convicted of 10 charges including break and enter, robbery, using an imitation firearm to commit a robbery, kidnapping, forcible confinement and extortion after a six-day judge-alone Court of Queen’s Bench trial in March of this year. Crown proved beyond a reasonable doubt that Kertesz entered a Parke Avenue apartment in Red Deer with two others to steal drugs and money from the people inside. The crimes took place late May 13 and early May 14, 2013. On Thursday, Crown prosecutor Wayne Silliker argued for a 12-year prison sentence, with a lifetime weapons prohibition. Defence lawyer Lorne Goddard recommended a five-tosix-year sentence. Justice Sterling Sanderman said he would provide his written decision in about two weeks.

CAMPGROUND: Natural as possible “I never wanted to camp in a trailer park. We want to keep it as natural as possible. We are a group of people who like to camp as camping. We don’t want to go to our trailer park in the city in the country. We want a campground,” he said. He believes some on council are being influenced by others who want to buy the land and use it for a recreational vehicle resort. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com
MARKET: Mixed feelings As well, they pinpointed a friendly community atmosphere, a suitable building, free parking, and good management. The organizers contracted had mixed feelings about a year-round market, but were mostly ready to join the movement if someone else took the lead, said Tibble. The survey was completed by 336 potential market customers, 20 vendors and four organizers. The respon-

Buildings coming down Five empty buildings, formerly used by the City of Red Deer, are expected to begin coming down by the end of the month. A contractor has been hired by the city to demolish the following structures in the Riverlands area: the former public works building, city garage, bus barn, supplies building and electric light and power headquarters. All of the buildings were deemed too old and/or too contaminated to be preserved, said Wade Martens, planning manager for Riverlands. This is the area once occupied by city yards, between downtown Red Deer and the
dents heard about the survey through ReThink Red Deer’s website and EcoLiving fair, a Red Deer home show held in March, and community announcement boards. The majority of people who answered the questions were married women with children. Organizers had to be specifically contacted and were mostly from the Red Deer Wednesday night farmers market and from markets in outlying communities such as Blackfalds and Caroline. Nagra said attempts to contact the organizers of Red Deer’s May-to-October public market were unsuccessful. As most respondents were from a similar demographic group, Nagra said a broader market study should be done, but this would require more funding for the hiring of a professional surveyor. Kathy Parsons, Chair of ReThink Red Deer, was encouraged by the Leadership Network survey. She said it indicated support for a year-round market in Red Deer, “while taking nothing away from the established markets currently operating.” She believes the next step would be to bring community leaders, and resources together “to keep the process going so that a solid foundation can be developed.” Michalak said the study will go before the ReThink Red Deer board to determine how high a priority a yearround market project is, compared to others the group is undertaking. lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com
Red Deer River. Its future use is designated for mixed residential and commercial redevelopment under two plans, The Greater Downtown Action Plan and the Riverlands Redevelopment Plan. Although the buildings’ demolition is expected to be completed by October, Martens said it will be some time before land in the area can be sold to private developers. City planners will first have to determine “what the area should look like,” and do various engineering and services studies, added Martens. Planning for the area will have to meet the vision of the two plans before the sites are development ready, he said. Overhead power lines that now cut through Riverlands are also going to be buried underground.
Alberta Health Services has declared the measles outbreak over in the Central and Calgary zones. The outbreak declaration remains in effect in the Edmonton Zone of AHS. The health agency says standard measles surveillance and follow-up will continue. However, temporary changes to the routine childhood immunization schedule — implemented for the outbreak — are no longer in effect in Central and Calgary zones. Effective immediately, AHS will no longer offer an early additional dose of measles vaccine to infants six months of age to less than 12 months of age who are living in or travelling to the Central or Calgary Zones of AHS. This additional early dose of the vaccine was recommended while the outbreak was active in both of these zones to provide short-term added protection during a time of increased risk of exposure. Requests for early additional doses of the vaccine will no longer be accommodated in either zone. However, infants travelling to the Edmonton zone or any other areas within Canada or abroad in which measles outbreaks are occurring are still eligible to receive an additional early dose of vaccine if this travel cannot be avoided. Health officials point out that measles continues to circulate in Alberta and worldwide. Without immunization, Albertans may be at risk of contracting this potentially severe illness. All Albertans born during or after 1970 require two doses of measles vaccine to be protected.
Arrests in alleged fraud attempt, RCMP seeking woman Red Deer City RCMP have arrested two men in connection with an attempt to withdraw money from the north-end RBC Royal Bank using fake identification on Tuesday.

Don’t make excuses for cheating SEEK COUNSELLING TO REPAIR YOUR MARRIAGE AFTER A SPOUSE’S AFFAIR Dear Annie: I am in my mid-20s and have been with my husband for seven years. Last year, while I was attending school and working, my husband started an affair. I also discovered information about his cheating dating back three years. I have found MITCHELL texts, social me& SUGAR dia messages and even a secret phone. My husband doesn’t know that I am aware of his affair. We have a toddler, and I don’t know what to do. I cannot believe the man I love has been unfaithful for so long and I just found out about it. I am seriously contemplating divorce. But I feel as if there is more to it. In fact, I think my husband may be a sex addict.
This is how his father treated his mother for years, and maybe it’s all he knows. I want to get him the help he needs, but I’m not sure how to handle the situation— A Nurse in Need Dear Nurse: This must be a terrible time for you, but you are making an awful lot of excuses for your husband’s behavior. You need to tell him what you know and ask him to go with you for counselling. If he is a sex addict, there are ways that he can get help. But if he refuses to do the necessary work to repair your marriage, you will have some tough decisions to make. Please get counselling on your own so you can do what is best for you and your child. Dear Annie: I really like my motherin-law, but she has terrible taste and insists on buying me clothes. For my birthday last year, she gave me a blouse that looked like it came from a rummage sale, even though it still had the sales slip attached. To make her happy, I tried it on, and she squealed with delight. I thought it was hideous. I don’t want to hurt her feelings, but I cannot possibly wear this blouse.

As a longtime coach, I wanted to give some input. Rightly or wrongly, the goal of school teams and coaches is to win the game without worrying about playing time. Parents should probably know this, but many don’t. (Practice and scrimmages are a different story.) Parents are generally very poor evaluators of their child’s talent. I would suspect this child is less skilled than the other players on the squad. My advice would be to talk respectfully to the coach to find out what your child could be working on to get more playing time. You will learn a lot about the coach’s mindset. Also, talk to your son about playing on a local church or other youth team. —Been on Both Sides
However, I’d feel terrible if I took it back to the store and she found out. My husband says to just stick the blouse in the closet and forget about it. But what if she asks me to wear it? What should I do? — Trying To Be a Sweet DIL Dear Trying: It’s perfectly OK to thank your mother-in-law sweetly for the blouse and then return it. It’s unlikely that she would ever find out. If she later asks you to wear it, you can say that it wasn’t exactly your taste and you picked out something that matched your wardrobe better. But it would be a true kindness to ask her to accompany you the next time you go shopping. Tell her it’s a “girl bonding” experience. Go out for lunch. Let her see the types of things that attract your attention. Ask her opinion. Help her pick out something you think looks good on her. This is how you get to know each other. Dear Annie: I read with interest the letter from “Upset Dad,” whose 14-year-old son wasn’t getting enough playing time on his basketball team.

Now begins an involved tale of adventure and death as the war between England and the Boers of South Africa begins. Robert, though not a soldier, is sympathetic to the Boers because he has come to know them and their language. This is a subject the author knows well; the details of the battles are as bloody, as are most wars. The story advances on many fronts, as Robert invests in a luxury hotel and a boot making company. There are many other skirmishes, apart from
the war, and Robert has a tendency to meet only beautiful and amenable women. It’s apparently true that “war is hell.” Robert is a wonderful hero figure. Besides being generous with his money, he is a dependable friend and not above weeping when young men die in bloody battles. The life he leads is far from peaceful. Lord Strathcona’s Horse Regiment from Calgary takes part in the battle and Robert learns that his brother is part of the British force. Because there are so many parts to this story, and because on the last page we find Robert sailing away from Africa, I believe there will be a sequel. Certainly the author has introduced people who could appear in other adventures. This book is available through Amazon.ca. Peggy Freeman is a local freelance books reviewer.

Novelist recalls boyhood in post-war Bronx Photo by RICK TAL-
BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAS/freelance
These two young bucks decided to have a quick snack and a photo opportunity while checking out the No.15 green at River Bend Golf Course near Red Deer recently.
My Old Neighborhood Remembered by Avery Corman Barricade Books Before Brooklyn became a hipster haven with pricey real estate and the Bronx became the poster child for urban blight, neighbourhood life in those outer boroughs was pretty much the same. That’s the recollection of Avery Corman, who grew up in the Bronx during the 1940s and ’50s and went on to write novels that became the basis for the hit movies Kramer vs. Kramer and Oh God! In a later novel, The Old Neighborhood, the hard-driving protagonist reconnects with his childhood neighbourhood in the Bronx, rediscovers his roots and finds inner peace and contentment. Now Corman has returned to that same nostalgia-laden turf, this time with a charming and lyrical memoir, My Old Neighborhood Remembered, about his Bronx boyhood in a nontraditional working-class household with a divorced mother, an older sister, and an aunt and uncle, both of them deaf mutes. With few organized activities and no hovering parents to schedule them,
kids took to the streets to create their own fun. It was a world of punchball, Johnnyon-a-pony, Ringolevio and, of course, stickball, in which players would keep an eye out for an approaching police car and roll the bat under a parked car before a cop could confiscate it. An iconic element of street life was the local candy store, a neighbourhood hangout where youngsters might sip an egg cream while reading a comic book off the rack. They could buy a notebook and a protractor for school, or a Spaldeen, the pink rubber ball used for stickball. Some candy stores had a resident bookmaker and might sport signs outside reading “Cars to the Track” to lure horseplayers. With television in its infancy, movie theatres were everywhere. None was more ornate than the famously baroque Loew’s Paradise, a 3,855-seat landmark on the Grand Concourse, a short walk from Corman’s apartment. Stern-faced matrons dressed in white and armed with flashlights patrolled the children’s section, ready to pounce on kids who might commit such infractions as noisily humming through their candy boxes. As Corman progressed through grade school, junior high and high
school, his mother worked her way up from a $14-a-week stock clerk at Alexander’s, the big department store that was essentially a discount operation but “offered the illusion of upscale shopping.” She eventually became a buyer at J.W. Mays in Brooklyn, swapping a long subway ride each day for a job that secured her status as solidly middle class. The author goes on to describe the mystery of his father’s disappearance, the impact of college basketball scandals that implicated Bronx sports heroes and the travails of Hebrew school in preparation for his bar mitzvah. He managed to stumble through the ceremony but then didn’t set foot in a synagogue for 23 years. After high school, Corman studied business at New York University but failed to land his dream job as a copywriter on Madison Avenue. It was the start of the “Mad Men” era and agencies tended to exclude Jews, other “ethnics” and applicants with degrees from non-Ivy League colleges. People tend to romanticize their childhood, but the post-World War II Bronx was a time and place that conveyed a sense of community and vitality to those who grew up there. Many have moved on but still carry
fond memories that Corman’s quick read is sure to evoke. His anecdotes and reminiscences are likely to resonate most strongly with fellow Bronxites, but readers unfamiliar with the world of his childhood are sure to be charmed and entertained by this delightful account of city life more than a half-century ago.

Owners of the Silver Cove Gaetz Avenue in Red Deer, Chris and Melissa Robak are excited to greet customers in their second location for their business.
Lacombe’s Silver Cove expands to Red Deer BY HARLEY RICHARDS ADVOCATE BUSINESS EDITOR Looking for some ammolite or zoisite? Perhaps your tastes lie somewhere between in the geological alphabet. Regardless, a Lacombe business has made shopping a little easier for rock, gem and mineral hounds. Silver Cove, which operates out of a 4,000-square-foot store in Lacombe, opened a location in Red Deer last Friday. Located at 4418 Gaetz Ave., in the former premises of Flaman Fitness, the new store is about half the size of its Lacombe site but carries the same mix of products, said Melissa Robak, who owns Silver Cove with her husband Chris. “We will carry all of the beads and findings; we’ll have the fossils and the crystals and the gemstones and jewelry.” Not only is Silver Cove the go-to

BRIEFS Murphy honoured by Down Syndrome Society A Red Deer restaurateur is being recognized for his support of disabled people. David Murphy, who operates Albert’s Family Restaurant, Murph’s Pub and Grill, and Tony Roma’s, has been selected by the Canadian Down Syndrome Society to receive its Employer of the Year Award. Murphy was nominated for the award by Shawn Grieve, one of his employees who has Down syndrome, and Grieve’s support worker, Aimée Robertson. A release issued by the Canadian Down Syndrome Society quoted Grieve as saying Murphy always takes the time to speak with him and check on how he’s doing. “The last time he came to see me, he even got me serving food to customers! It was then that I got my first tip! I was so happy! “I looked for a job for a long time, but not everyone could see my ability, like David could.” Grieve, Aimée and Canadian Down Syndrome Society resource co-ordinator Corrine Grieve were to present Murphy with his award today at 1:15 p.m. at Albert’s Family Restaurant.
Record results for Rifco Rifco Inc. (TSXV: RFC) is reporting record results for its fiscal year ended March 31. The Red Deer-based company, which provides consumer loans for new and used vehicles through its subsidiary Rifco National Auto Finance, had net income of $6.4 million for the year, up 35 per cent from the $4.7 million earned the previous year. Total revenue was $30.3 million, a 26 per cent improvement over the $24 million last year.

place in Central Alberta for gems and minerals, it supplies more than 70 other stores in Western Canada, said Robak. “Our products come from all over the world. “We just brought in a selection here in January of two tons of zeolite minerals from India, and we sourced those directly from the mine.” Silver Cove also organizes a big gem and mineral show in Lacombe every fall and spring: Rocktober and Rocktopia. “Those shows have actually spawned off on their own, and we now host seven different gem and mineral shows throughout Alberta and Saskatchewan,” said Robak. Silver Cove’s origins date back a decade, when the Robaks started selling finished jewelry at farmers markets. Because they were both rock and mineral enthusiasts, they had rough stones on hand that they’d show jewelry buyers. Earnings per share for the year were 30.5 cents, a 31 per cent increase from 23.3 cents. Rifco said in a release that the strong numbers resulted from record loan originations, record finance receivables, an improved interest expense ratio and a decreasing operating expenses ratio.
City won’t object to sour oil pipeline The City of Red Deer will not object to plans by an energy company to develop a sour oil pipeline on the city’s northeastern outskirts. Canadian Oil and Gas International Inc. is seeking to construct a new pipeline, and also install a polyethylene liner in an existing sweet natural gas pipeline so that the line can carry sour oil effluent. If successful, the company would then abandon an existing pipeline that runs even closer to the city’s urban area. The project was considered by Red Deer’s municipal planning commission this week. The commission is responsible for deciding whether the city should object to applications going before the Alberta Energy Regulator that could affect future growth. Jim Benum, Red Deer’s oil and gas liaison, said the proposed line and the line to be converted would be within the city’s boundary or future growth area, but not in an area currently proposed for urban development. He contrasted this with the location of the pipeline that Canadian Oil and Gas International would like to abandon. “The abandonment of this Level 1 sour pipeline will remove a significant impediment to urban development,” he said. Asked about public safety issues with respect to the sour oil pipeline, Benum said Canadian Oil and Gas International will be required to have a safety plan in place, and the line will be subject to setback requirements. Members of the commission voted to not object to Canadian Oil and Gas International’s application. An objection by the city would have been considered by the Alberta Energy Regulator as part of its approval process.

“People started wanting to buy the specimens that we were showing,” said Melissa Robak. This prompted them to expand their product offerings to include rough stones, polished pieces, finished jewelry, carvings and even home decor items. “Basically, if it is gem- or mineralrelated in any way, shape or form, we like to have it.” Robak and her husband opened their Lacombe shop in 2009. They later contemplated a move to Red Deer but decided instead to expand the store. However, ongoing requests by customers for a store in Red Deer convinced the couple to open a Silver Cove kiosk at Parkland Mall last fall. The success of that venture convinced them to open a full-fledged store in the city. Red Deer has been without a gem and mineral dealer for years, noted Robak, and the high-traffic, well-lit bay on Gaetz Avenue seemed ideal for
a shop. In addition to its retail business, Silver Cove conducts classes and organizes public and private rock hunting expeditions. Robak hinted that further expansion could be on the horizon. “We’ve got a five-year plan of moving into sort of a 10,000-square-foot bay and putting up a big mounted skeleton.” Despite the growing demands of their business, the Robaks still make time for the hobby that got them into it. “We’ve always been avid rock-hunters,” said Melissa. “I think one of our first dates was rock-hunting.” Additional information about Silver Cove can be found on its website and Facebook pages. The Red Deer store will have a grand opening June 27 to 29, with its hours of operation thereafter 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday to Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sundays. hrichards@reddeeradvocate.com
Housing market still key risk to economy: BoC BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Bank of Canada governor Stephen Poloz still believes the housing market is due for a soft landing but warns: look out if it crashes. The central banker made the assessment after that release of the latest semi-annual financial system review, a kind of stress test on financial weak spots that suggests a crash in Canada’s real estate market would have devastating impact on the economy. And such a crash could be triggered by a number of events — a recession that causes widespread unemployment, rising interest rates and even global shocks like failures in China’s opaque shadow banking system. All such events would dampen growth and cut demand and prices for Canadian resource exports. Still, Poloz told reporters at a news conference following release of the report Thursday that he believes the worst won’t happen. “We still are pretty confident ... that we will achieve a soft landing in housing,” he said. “It’s vulnerable but not risky.” Deputy governor Carolyn Wilkins says data backing the soft landing scenario includes a slowdown in housing starts, cooling in the construction of condos and the plateauing of household debt ratios, although at levels near those that existed prior to the U.S. meltdown in 2008. A crash would have system-wide implications, the report makes clear, affecting highly indebted households, the economy generally and some financial institutions, such as credit unions, which may be more vulnerable to defaults. In particular, the central bank worries that house prices continue to rise faster than incomes and that certain hot spots like Toronto’s condominium market are over-built.

That trend was confirmed by the latest Teranet-national Bank composite house index, which showed overall prices increasing 0.8 per cent in May over April, with gains in Hamilton, Ont., Quebec City and Toronto, Calgary, Edmonton, Montreal and Halifax. On Wednesday, the Paris-based Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development also warned about Canada’s housing market and suggested that Ottawa limit its vulnerability to defaults by reducing the guarantee on mortgage loans. The federal government, through the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp., insures 100 per cent of high-risk mortgages issued by banks, whereas the OECD says most other industrialized countries guarantee only 10 to 30 per cent. Poloz would not directly comment on the OECD recommendation, but noted that the government had already announced its “intention over time to reduce its overall exposure to housing sector risk.” Recently, several large Canadian banks have lowered their five-year fixed rates below three per cent, although Finance Minister Joe Oliver says he does not see that as a major problem. Poloz also took time to respond to some raised eyebrows from economists as to why he still considers low inflation a risk given that the latest consumer price index hit the bank’s target of two per cent. He called the rise temporary, noting that underlying inflation remains weak and economic activity in the U.S. and globally had been softer than previously predicted. In the financial review, the bank said the risk of a Chinese “hard landing” had increased somewhat in the past six months, while conditions in the eurozone had improved. Although regarded as unlikely, a sharp increase in U.S. long-term interest rates, which affect Canadian rates, would also cause problems in the housing sector, it said.

The S&P/TSX composite index added 17.50 points to 14,909.63. The Canadian dollar gained 0.10 of a cent to 92.12 cents US. In the U.S., the Dow Jones industrials dropped 109.69 points to 16,734.19, the Nasdaq fell 32.99 points to 4,298.94 and the S&P 500 dipped 12.03 points to 1,931.86. Oil prices rose after an al Qaida-inspired group that captured two key cities in Iraq last week vowed to also invade Baghdad. One of those two cities, Mosul, lies in an area that is a major gateway for Iraqi oil. The uncertainty over oil supplies prompted the July crude contract on the New York Mercantile Exchange to jump $2.13 to US$106.53 a barrel. Portfolio manager Kash Pashootan said there is little evidence that demand for oil, particularly from China and the U.S., will rise in the medium to long term, but any kind of international conflict will raise prices. The energy sector climbed 1.69 per cent on the Toronto Stock Exchange. However, gold was the leading advancer, up by 2.73 per cent, as bullion gained $12.80 to US$1,274 an ounce. July copper declined three cents to US$3.02 a pound.

A dump truck works near the Syncrude oil sands extraction facility near the town of Fort McMurray, Alberta earlier this month. A new study by the University of Calgary’s School of Public Policy suggests that rules imposed on foreign investment are having an adverse affect on oilsands stocks.
Foreign investment rules hurting oilsands: study BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
U OF C STUDY
CALGARY — Rules imposed on foreign state-owned investment in the oilsands are having some unintended consequences in the oilpatch, says a new study by the University of Calgary’s School of Public Policy. The report analyzes share prices of oilsands companies since the regulations were announced in December 2012. That’s when the Harper government approved Chinese-owned CNOOC Ltd.’s $15-billion takeover of Calgarybased Nexen Inc., but imposed limitations on further ownership of oilsands resources by state-owned firms. The study shows that between the announcement and March of this year, oilsands stocks were about 20 per cent lower than what would have otherwise been expected. For junior firms, it was about a 30 per cent hit. “The findings of this paper indicate the federal government’s policy change has resulted in the material destruction of shareholder wealth,” the study’s authors wrote. The biggest impact has been on junior oilsands companies, whose stocks dropped by as much as 50 per cent in the first half of 2013, diverging greatly from where oil prices and the wider stock market were heading at the time. Senior and intermediate players showed steadier performance. “There’s a significant cost and that
cost is borne disproportionately by juniors,” Eugene Beaulieu, director of the school’s international economics program, said in an interview. The study was co-authored by Matthew Saunders, a senior analyst with early-stage oilsands firm Laricina Energy. Small oilsands companies rely on outside investment to grow their operations much more than their larger counterparts. Much of that financing comes from joint ventures in which a partner buys a ownership stake in a project and reaps a proportionate share of its returns. In theory, those types of deals are still allowed under Ottawa’s new rules, provided the foreign state-owned entity doesn’t have control. Put in practice, that investment seems to be slowing. “Joint ventures and other kinds of investments that weren’t targeted by the policy have been affected,” said Beaulieu. “It wasn’t intended by the policy, but it seems to be having that effect.” Beaulieu said he understands the need for the Investment Canada Act to address concerns about foreign ownership of Canadian resources. But a lack of clarity over how those restrictions are applied is scaring away investment.

BRIEF Canadian fossil finds give key details about primitive fish THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — New fossils are providing critical details about one of the earliest known fishes, and researchers say that helps show how jaws evolved in animals that have backbones. The fish is called Metaspriggina. Researchers say it grew about 2 inches (5 centimetres) long and lived widely in North America some 515 million to 500 million years ago. The fish had no jaws. But Jean-Bernard Caron of the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, one of the study authors, said structures near the gills show what the precursor to jaws looked like. A new description of the fish, based on fossils found mostly in British Columbia, was released Wednesday by the journal Nature.

NASA postpones test of Mars ‘flying saucer’ parachute LOS ANGELES — The U.S. space agency has postponed its plan to send a “flying saucer” into Earth’s atmosphere to test technology that could be used to land on Mars. NASA spokeswoman Shannon Ridinger says weather conditions
caused Wednesday’s launch of the saucershaped vehicle to be delayed. The next potential launch date is Saturday. NASA has depended on the same parachute design to slow spacecraft after they enter the Martian atmosphere. But it needs a larger and stronger parachute if it wants to land heavier objects and astronauts. After being launched via balloon from Hawaii, the new vehicle will ignite its rocket engine and climb to 34 miles (54 kilometres). It will slow itself down from supersonic speeds and unfurl a parachute for a water landing.
and Grand Prairie, or with sawmills in Drayton Valley, all which have an adequate feedstock of waste materials. Alberta has nine biomass electrical generation plants spread around the province producing some 389 megawatts of electrical power. These biomass cogeneration plants are considered sources of renewable energy as the wood chips they consume would normally be landfilled and, of course, trees like the aspen repopulate on their own rapidly. Biomass is not limited to wood chips, although in most parts of the world they are the most common; wal-
nut shells, coconut husks, corn cobs, and palm kernel shells are options in areas where they can be found in abundance. Those wood chips you used for mulch around your trees and in your garden are not the waste products most imagine.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — A galley water heater is being blamed for smoke aboard the International Space Station. Russian astronauts reported smoke and a burning smell in their main compartment Tuesday. There wasn’t enough smoke to activate the alarms or to warrant the use of masks by the sixman crew. The smoke came from a vent and dissipated within a half hour or so. Commander Steven Swanson says there was only a small amount of smoke and everyone was fine. The astronauts quickly disconnected the electric water-heating unit and activated air purifiers in the Zvezda compartment, Russian for star. On Wednesday, the astronauts installed a spare unit. NASA says it’s working normally. A similar problem occurred in 2009. The astronauts say they didn’t see anything

How to Train Your Dragon 2 Three and a half stars (out of four) Rated: PG BY STEPHANIE MERRY ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES There is an unbearably adorable moment at the start of any 3-D children’s movie when the first frames hit the screen and the little ones in the audience let out a collective “woooooow” as they reach up to touch the images coming at them. This is, for better or worse, the highlight of some 3-D fare. But in How to Train Your Dragon 2, that moment is really just an auspicious beginning for a riveting, moving and beautifully animated film. It’s understandable if you approach this sequel with some resignation. You’ll take the kids to see it because it’s the only option, and the fact that writer-director Dean DeBlois already has plans for a third and possibly fourth installment isn’t necessarily heartening — another franchise proving the law of diminishing returns, you might mutter. But the follow-up to the 2010 blockbuster, based on books by Cressida Cowell about a dragon rider and his beloved pet, shows sequel-makers how to do it right. The movie begins five years after the last one ended. The Celtic island of Berk has become a safe haven and breeding ground for dragons; there’s even a basketball-like sport involving dragon riders using sheep to score points. (PETA may not entirely approve of this particular scene, animated or not.) But while the whole island watches the tourney, self-appointed cartographer Hiccup (voiced by Jay Baruchel) and his pet night fury, Toothless — bat-

A sequel with bite THE FOLLOW-UP TO THE 2010 BLOCKBUSTER ABOUT A DRAGON RIDER AND HIS TOOTHLESS PET SHOWS SEQUEL-MAKERS HOW TO DO IT RIGHT
like with Zooey Deschanel-size eyes — are exploring far-flung destinations. Both are still dealing with injuries suffered in the first movie — Hiccup has a metal prosthesis — but that doesn’t slow them down. On one of these adventures, the beanpole of a young man stumbles upon an island made of spiky ice that’s home to some unsavory characters. They’re dragon hunters led by Eret (Kit Harington), and they spend their days rounding up firebreathers for a mysterious overlord named Drago, who clearly has sinister intentions. There’s hope for taking on Drago, though. Hiccup joins forces with a masked dragon rider whose identity won’t be revealed here, except to say that she’s voiced by Cate Blanchett and has a real dream job: she’s the zookeeper of a massive dragon sanctuary. How to Train Your Dragon 2 is brimming with action while remaining mercifully straightforward. The undoing of many a sequel lies in its insistence on introducing multiple enemies to up the ante. There’s none of that here. Meanwhile, the movie manages to tackle themes of growing up and find-
ing independence; coming to terms with one’s heritage; forgiveness; and how to properly care for a pet. Anyone with a cat, dog, ferret or guinea pig will probably melt when Toothless jumps on Hiccup and doles out some big sloppy kisses. The movie is also funny. During most conversational scenes, you might notice dragons in the background doing silly things. And one running joke involves the boorish Ruffnut (Kristen Wiig) as she pines over Eret, her eyes going googly in slowmo as she says, “Me likey.” The animation is splendid, whether it’s showing the acrobatics of dragon riders or a swirl of flying animals of all shapes, sizes and colors doing laps around the sanctuary. But it’s not all pristine. The movie shows, believably, the grime of living in this fantastical rough-and-tumble world. Nearly all the characters are dirty, maimed or both. There are a few moments toward the movie’s climax when things slow down just enough to make the little ones restless.

Swollen Members still pushing beyond the boundaries BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF Swollen Members has been around long enough to have both witnessed — and influenced — the evolution of hip hop. When the Vancouver group was formed in 1992, rap music was still largely perceived as being counter-culture and dangerous. “Twenty-five years ago, I never would have thunk that rap would be used in a soundtrack for a Toyota commercial!” said chuckling group member Prevail, who performs with the Swollen Members on Wednesday at Wild Bill’s Sports Bar in Red Deer. Now it’s part of mainstream culture, and his duo had something to do with that. Prevail (also known as Regina-born Kiley Henriks) believes he and partner Madchild helped “desegregate” rap by “decoding its secret language” for the general public. He believes they helped lift some of the genre’s more negative associations, turning it into “a more accessible street-based art form.” The four-time Juno Award-winning hip-hop group, mostly made up of Madchild (Shane Bunting) and Prevail, came on strong in the mid 1990s, making inroads in places like Japan and the West Coast of the U.S. before winning over domestic crowds. Through 10 studio albums, frequently made in collaboration with Moka Only and Rob the Viking (and with appearances by hip-hop heavyweights, such as Saigon, Tech N9ne and Everlast, and pop artist Nelly Furtado), Swollen Members was praised for crossing barriers both within the hip-hop genre and outside it. “I’d like to think, with our discography, that people think: here’s a Canadian band that’s pushed beyond the boundaries, beyond success in the rap music arena,” said Prevail. He noted wider audiences were also reached when the group toured with such eclectic acts as Biff Naked and The Black Eyed Peas. Swollen Members’ music is now played on TV commercials, video-game soundtracks, snowboarding and skateboarding videos, and TV serials, including America’s Next Top Model. (For some reason, this last

The Swollen Members perform on Wednesday at Wild Bill’s Sports Bar in Red Deer. one tickles Prevail’s funnybone.) At the same time, Madchild and Prevail have become public personalities in their own right, making cameo appearances in films, such as 2004’s MuchMusic movie Going the Distance and the Canadian TV comedy Robson Arms. “It’s been a real roller-coaster ride, with peaks and valleys, great expressiveness, some successes”
— and perils, admitted Prevail, The whole thing nearly derailed with Madchild’s widely reported oxycontin addiction in 2008 (which was more or less documented in the 2009 album Armed to the Teeth), but the group is solid again, and is putting out an 11th album this month, called Brand New Day.

Writers brew some fine prison hooch BY WILLA PASKIN ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES
JACK WHITE’S NEW ‘ULTRA LP’ HAS BELLS, WHISTLES, MONSTER RIFFS BY CHRIS RICHARDS ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES Jack White is divisive. Polarizing. He’s rock-androll cilantro. He’s an uncompromising neo-rocker with big ideas. He’s a cocky traditionalist with a big mouth. He’s both. So it only makes sense that the former White Stripes frontman is releasing his second solo album, Lazaretto, in a format that feels both ancient and brand new. He’s calling it an “ultra LP” — a 12-inch vinyl record that contains secret grooves, never-ending drones and “holograms” that materialize in the record’s surface once the platter begins to twirl. These whistles and bells were presumably dreamed up inside the black brick walls of Third Man Records, the label White operates in his adopted home of Nashville. It’s a fascinating place. In addition to housing the label’s offices and a performance venue, the building is also home to a record

DRAGON: Novelty of 3-D wears off quickly (The novelty of 3-D wears off quickly, regardless of age.) But before you know it, the movie picks up the pace again to deliver a solid finale. This may be the first and last time anyone says this, but if How to Train Your Dragon 2” is this good, why stop at 3 and 4?
SWOLLEN: Positive songs on new release As the title suggests, there are positive songs on the release, which includes beats by Rob the Viking and production by C-Lance and DJ Muggs. But Prevail cautions it’s still a Swollen Members CD, so it’s “pretty heavy.”
REVIEW store where fans can buy miniature wax replicas of White’s guitar or step into a recording booth and cut a six-inch phonographic single. Neil Young recently stepped into the booth and stepped out with his latest album. Lazaretto wasn’t recorded in the booth, but White’s ultra LP still feels true to the weirdo spirit that breezes through Third Man headquarters. This is a record that peacocks for our attention, then demands our engagement. And like White’s best rock songs, it invites us to experience an old thing in a new way. Last month, White took to YouTube to explain the various features of the ultra LP. I secured a copy to find out if those features were gimmicky geegaws or if they effectively served his new music. 1. The Reverse Groove How it works: Instead of placing the needle on the outer groove of the record, side A of Lazaretto begins toward the center of the record and plays outward. The result: Right away, this inky disc asks us to defy our intuition, which is a wonderful thing.
Please see WHITE on Page D3 The title track can be viewed as being optimistic: “It speaks of where we are now, that we’re pushing forward . . . . It’s like we’ve gone through the breach, the cusp of the struggle, and now we’ve turned a corner,” said Prevail. But it’s also “cryptic, dark, powerful . . . it’s not a homogenous song.” The other single, Power, is about the dangers of comparing yourself to others, in terms of material possessions or anything else. In Prevail’s opinion, “It just leads to spinning your wheels. It isn’t going to make you happy.” He believes Power could only be delivered by a group that’s paid its dues and attained a certain level of success — and insight. Although he and Madchild have had a lot of triumphs together and as solo artists, Prevail maintains nobody is getting complacent. “There are always challenging things to grapple with,” he said, and Swollen Members are looking to leave “some kind of lasting legacy that’s uniquely ours . . . . It would be nice to be an inspiration.” Tickets to the 10 p.m. show (doors open at 9 p.m.) are $25 in advance, from Wild Bill’s at the Quality Inn North Hill or The Soundhouse in Red Deer, or $30 at the door.

Jack White is releasing his second solo album, Lazaretto, in a format that feels both ancient and brand new — a 12-inch vinyl record.
NEW YORK — Orange Is the New Black, Netflix’s most watched original series, is set inside a lowsecurity women’s prison, among trapped, powerless, depressed female inmates who have little to no control over their lives, whether in the clink or out. It is nonetheless delectable, demolishable, hooverable, gorgeable, bingeable — as reliably delightful as its setting is bleak. The series, the entire second season of which Netflix released last Friday, almost defies logic: how can a show that doesn’t shortchange the physical hardships, the emotional limitations, and the Kafkaesque circumstances facing its characters be so much fun? Given lemons, the women of Litchfield Correction Facility would be more likely to make weapons or sexual aids than lemonade, but Jenji Kohan and the other writers of Orange Is the New Black know how to brew some ambrosial prison hooch. Orange finished its first season with Piper Chapman (Taylor Schilling), Smith graduate turned inmate, pounding the face of zealous meth-mouth Pennsatucky (Taryn Manning) into hamburger. The new season picks up with Piper released from solitary and transported to an unknown facility. Piper and her on-again-off-again flame Alex Vause (Laura Prepon) are the episode’s only familiar characters. Instead of Taystee, Nichols, Poussey, Red, and the rest of the girls, we are instead introduced to a whole new cast of inmates, a fleet of messenger cockroaches, and a leering male prisoner who, Piper thanks God, is only a hit man, not a rapist. This out-of-the-bottle episode would make audiences livid if Orange were meted out week by week: The new characters are vivid enough, but I haven’t been waiting a year to see them. Yet Orange’s delivery method — instead of waiting a week, just click — turns the premiere into a kind of winking provocation: Just try not to watch the next one. It’s also a reminder that the number of underexplored characters this show could avail itself of is practically limitless.

Jolie, Depp perfect the art of celebrity-fan interaction BY ANN HORNADAY ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES
ESSAY an overwhelming one, were extraordinary — even moving — to witness. And I’d seen virtually the same thing just two days before, when Johnny Depp, who exhibited similar patience and good will just before the debut of Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. It reminded me of watching Bill Clinton in action, and how he seems to bestow and derive lifegiving force with each smile, handshake and spontaneous hug. In Depp’s case, I happened to have crossed paths with him earlier that day, when he was quietly hanging with friends at the serene and secluded Hotel du Cap. At that moment, he had pulled down the invisible veil that through body language, facial expression and a practiced, laser-like stare into the middle distance, gave every oncoming stranger fair warning: Do not disturb. But when he was “on” later that afternoon, all the concentration that had gone into telling the world to go away was now letting it in, and as he made his way up and down rope line, happily responding to endless requests for a signature, a smile, or just a glance in someone’s direction, he genuinely looked like there was no place he’d rather be. And there he stayed, until he had to be bodily pulled away. Jolie reflected that same sense of presence and reluctance to leave. And that, I think, explains why each of them is more than just a fine actor, but a global superstar. They understand, better than some of their I’m-an-artist-don’t-touch-me peers, the transactional nature of stardom. A contract between fan and celebrity that keeps both afloat -- one on a cloud of borrowed glamour and proximate fame, the other on intangible social capital that allows the audience to forgive even the worst flops, gaffes and missteps. That comprehension is all the more essential in a globalized marketplace in which stars still matter, both in getting projects funded and in their ultimate performance. It’s not for nothing that a turkey like The Tourist was a box office dud in the United States, but became a worldwide hit thanks to Jolie and Depp’s loyal fans overseas. But at its best, there’s more to the red carpet than just a utilitarian work ethic. What defines great stars, other than talent, on-screen charisma and physical beauty, is that they seem supremely comfortable in a situation most humans would find grotesque or invasive or stupidly superficial — or, as Pitt’s recent experience showed, even physically threatening. What I saw when Jolie and Depp tackled those rope lines was the commitment, transparency and willingness to be vulnerable that they’ve brought to their finest performances. They were 100 per cent present, focusing on those outside themselves and cheerfully giving of their time, energy and selves. So many movie fans gobble up news of how stars are just like us. Once in a while it’s worth asking how we can be more like them.
So many things were shocking about Brad Pitt getting punched in the face by a deranged prankster at the Los Angeles premiere of Maleficent on May 28. The brazen, senseless hostility of the act, for one. Not to mention that the same self-described “journalist” had recently pulled another stunt at the Cannes Film Festival, when he crawled under a full-skirted gown worn by actress America Ferrera. The one thing that wasn’t shocking about the assault Pitt suffered was that his fiancé, Angelina Jolie, announced just a few days later that she had no intention of increasing security when she and Pitt are on the hustings meeting fans. Calling Pitt’s assailant “an exception to the rule,” she told the Associated Press, “Most fans are just wonderful. We’ve had a wonderful experience over the years, and we’re very grateful for their support, and Angelina Jolie it will not change the way we behave.” Unlike those publicity-shy hothouse flowers who make an artistically pure point of shunning red-carpet glad-handing, Jolie and Pitt have perfected the art of first-person fan management, a level of public engagement that goes much deeper than the easy smile-and-wave from a safe distance. Cynics might dismiss working the red carpet as the much-needed fix of attention seekers and adoration-addicted narcissists. But, when practiced with integrity, stars’ interactions with their fans transcend mere psychology or public relations, and enter the realm of serious, even spiritual, vocation. In Jolie’s case, I’ve seen first-hand how she meets and treats her fans, and can attest to a devotion that isn’t just steadfast on her admirers’ part, but mutual. At Cannes a few years ago, she accompanied Pitt to the premiere of The Tree of Life, there making its world premiere. As I watched from a nearby balcony Jolie, dressed in a sleek brown Versace gown, bounded up and down the rope line like a headstrong colt just about to win the Triple Crown — shaking hands, signing autographs and stopping for an odd snapshot or two. Pitt joined her, showing similar good sportsmanship with the crush of screaming cine-tourists, many of whom had been standing in the hot Riviera sun for hours just to catch a glimpse of celebrity skin. But when Pitt joined his castmates for photo ops on the staircase leading to the Grand Theatre Lumiere, Jolie stayed behind, working the rope line with high spirits and unreserved vigor that seemed to increase exponentially with each encounter. These small connections, steadily accruing into
record. In White’s demonstration video on YouTube, the needle of his record player reads those hidden grooves through the paper label. The result: I only heard the hiss of the needle scraping paper. Do I need more weight on the tone arm of my record player? Should I try to remove those decals with lighter fluid? For now, White’s hidden tracks are staying hidden. And I like that. This isn’t an album that’s ready to cough up all of its secrets just yet.
STORIES FROM PAGE D2
WHITE: Hidden tracks staying hidden We’re paying attention. So first up: Three Women, a song by Piedmont bluesman Blind Willie McTell, whose lyrics White has updated so that it might be about online dating. The song ends with violent gusts of harmonica that foreshadow wilder noises to come.
ORANGE: Actively feminist, humanist show
2. The “Holograms” How it works: There are etchings on the surface of the record that catch light in a way that creates the illusion of two spinning angels. The result: It’s a trick. A beautiful little trick. A trick to keep us staring. Staring at the record. And listening. Very cool. Very pretty. See? It works. Which is great because there’s a lot to listen to here. In the White Stripes, White made great rock-and-roll out of his limitations, but now he’s riding the pendulum in the opposite direction, creating something raw out of excess. It’s most evident on the ornate and proggy Would You Fight for My Love?, a tune overflowing with nasty guitars, nastier organs, drama, arrogance and skill.
As she was in the first season of the show, Piper is a Trojan horse: a blond, white, rich, thin, bisexual Trojan horse, pulling audiences into a far more diverse world than is usually presented on screens, full of women of all ages, races, classes, body types and sexual orientations. Orange, more than most series, is on a social mission. It’s an actively feminist, humanist show that believes in the power of representation. That do-gooderism would sink lesser series, but Orange approaches it with the right, eyerolling spirit: Duh, it’s not just the skinny white girl who’s interesting. This season, with Piper somewhat adjusted to prison life — and the love triangle swirling around her slowed — she cedes much of the action to other characters, like the attention-loving Taystee (Danielle Brooks), who, along with Poussey (Samira Wiley), is half of the show’s most moving, fragile friendship; Morello (Yael Stone), whose unsettling backstory is the show’s most surprising; and even a new, loquacious Asian inmate (Kimiko Glenn) who proves that Piper does not have a monopoly on narcissism. The first six episodes feature more hijinks than heavy drama: Big Boo (Lee Delaria) and Nichols (Natasha Lyonne) stage a sex contest; the black chicks play Celebrity, over and over; Sophia (Laverne Cox) schools her peers on female anatomy; Red (Kate Mulgrew) deigns to eat with the Golden Girls. But a crisis is brewing. Red’s demotion from the kitchen last season has created a power vacuum that seems likely, as with everything underpinning social life in Litchfield, to explode along racial lines. There is something occasionally corny about
3. The Dual Groove How it works: The first song on side B, Just One Drink, has two separate intros — one electric, one acoustic. Which intro you hear depends on where you drop the needle. But after a few measures, the two grooves merge into one and the rest of the song continues in its electric state. The result: I ran into problems with this. The acoustic version dovetailed into the second half of the song seamlessly, but when I dipped the needle into the electric version, the record made an ugly skip as the grooves were supposed to merge. Only the acoustic intro played without a hiccup. Silver lining: the acoustic intro is superior. And based on the advance digital stream of Lazaretto on iTunes, it appears to be exclusive to the ultra LP format. 4. The Under-label Grooves How it works: There are hidden tracks pressed into the vinyl beneath the decals on each side of the

the first six episodes of the new season, and not just the one that has all the inmates provide their own definitions of “love.” OINTB’s generous ethos means its characters possess all imaginable qualities, except any that are truly dull or reprehensible. There is a kind of sameness, not in the characterizations, but in the demands on our sympathy, which are near total. (Even Pennsatucky and Daya’s horrible mother Aleida get kind of cute this season.) The show always makes the mitigating case for the characters’ past mistakes. Almost every woman is a good person who made or was forced to make a bad decision, instead of something more sinister, more evil, or even more banal — as if these too were not human characteristics. In this series about convicted felons, the only characters with unforgiveable flaws are the guards. But if this sentimental streak is a little softheaded, it springs from the series’ huge heart and its expansive humanism. These are women barely considered by society. Orange leaves being dismissive of them to everybody else. On this show, the prisoners’ hair might not be done, their makeup certainly isn’t on, and they are wearing unflattering duds — but their hearts almost always look good.

NEW YORK — Ruby Dee, an acclaimed actor and civil rights activist whose versatile career spanned stage, radio television and film, has died at age 91, according to her daughter. Nora Davis Day told The Associated Press on Thursday that her mother died at home in New Rochelle on Wednesday night of “natural causes.” Dee, who frequently acted alongside her husband of 56 years, Ossie Davis, was with loved ones, she added. “We have had her for so long and we loved her so much,” Day said. “She took her final bow last night at home surrounded by her chilRuby Dee dren and grandchildren.” Day added: “We gave her our permission to set sail. She opened her eyes, closed her eyes and away she went.” Her long career brought her an Oscar nomination at age 83 for best supporting actress for her role in the 2007 film American Gangster. She also won an Emmy and was nominated for several others. Age didn’t slow her down. “I think you mustn’t tell your body, you mustn’t tell your soul, ‘I’m going to retire,”’ Dee told The Associated Press in 2001. “You may be changing your life emphasis, but there’s still things that you have in mind to do that now seems the right time to do. I really don’t believe in retiring as long as you can breathe.” Since meeting on Broadway in 1946, she and her late husband were frequent collaborators. Their partnership rivaled the achievements of other celebrated acting couples. But they were more than performers; they were also activists who fought for civil rights, particularly for blacks. “We used the arts as part of our struggle,” she said at an appearance in Jackson, Mississippi, in 2006. “Ossie said he knew he had to conduct himself differently with skill and thought.” In 1998, the pair celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary and an even longer association in show business with the publication of a dual autobiography, With Ossie and Ruby: In This Life Together. Davis died in February 2005. Among those who mourned at his funeral included former President Bill Clinton, Harry Belafonte and Spike Lee.

Hugh enjoyed the outdoors, both in his garden and especially spending many hours fishing with his brother in law Neil. Hugh will be fondly remembered for his story telling, sharing all his life experiences with his family and friends.

In Memoriam
Obituaries SNOW Donald Thompson 1938-2014 It is with great sadness that the Snow family announce the sudden passing of Don Snow on June 9th, 2014 at the age of 76 years. Don was born on February 24, 1938 in Innisfail, Alberta to Helen Jean and Francis Henry Thompson Snow. The family lived on a farm west of Innisfail and the children attended a rural school in the Gordon School District where his mother was a teacher. They often went to school on horseback. The love of a country life stayed with Don all his life. He also became an expert at fishing and could often be found at the river, accompanied by his dog. The Snows moved into Innisfail where Don finished his schooling. He then attended the University of Alberta working towards an Engineering degree. However, this was not his vocation and he made the decision to become a Chartered Accountant articling under Touche Ross in Calgary. He found his true passion and continued practicing for over forty years. He was awarded a Life Membership in the CA Association and retired this past spring. In 1970, he married Joan Llewellyn of Innisfail, and they made their home in Red Deer. The instant family was a blended one with Todd, Kelly and Kathryn already on board. During the next few years, Derek, Chris and Shauna were added to the group. Unfortunately, a baby daughter, Kimberley Meredith, passed away in 1974. During the years of raising a family, Don set up Accounting practices in Castor, Hanna, Red Deer, Olds and Didsbury taking the family through rural Alberta. His faithful clients continued to follow him throughout his career. Don was a very private man except when the grandchildren came along. There was nothing “Papa/Grampa” wouldn’t do for the little ones because they were on his Top Ten List from the minute they were born. In his later years, he enjoyed watching his grandchildren in their favorite pursuits. Don loved sports and passed on his love of baseball and golf to his children. He enjoyed following the Flames, Stampeders and Dodgers. Favorite hobbies were chess, crossword puzzles and hockey pools. He was a member of Knox Presbyterian Church and the Order of the Eastern Star, Venus #2, Red Deer and served as Worthy Patron four times. He is survived by his wife Joan of 43 years, Todd (Kathleen) Muir of Cochrane, AB, Kelly Snow of Toronto, ON, Kathryn Snow (Mike Ingalls) of Nanaimo, BC, Derek (Alison) Snow of Red Deer, AB, Chris Snow of Lagos, Nigeria, and Shauna (Mike) Hulyk of Red Deer, AB. Sisters; Bev (Stan) Harper and Joyce (Al) Lye, all of Calgary. Don was fortunate to have had the love and attention of ten grandchildren; Joel, Brett, Jasmine, Kaleb, Chloe, Bella, McKenna, Lily, Hannah and Ben. Don was predeceased by his father, Frank Snow, mother, Helen Snow, sister, Frances Spence, two brothers; Harold and Jim Snow and his infant daughter, Kimberley Snow. A Memorial Service will be held at Knox Presbyterian Church, 4718- 50th Street, Red Deer, on Monday, June 16th, 2014 at 11:00 a.m. with Rev. Wayne Reid officiating. Condolences may be forwarded to the family by visiting www.eventidefuneralchapels.com. Arrangements entrusted to EVENTIDE FUNERAL CHAPEL 4820 - 45 Street, Red Deer. Phone (403) 347-2222

Card Of Thanks MARIN RDRH Nursing Staff Unit 31 DOREEN COWAN April 9, 1947 - June 15, 2013 “The Bay Shoe Lady” †God saw the road was getting rough And the hills were hard to climb, So he closed your weary eyelids And whispered, “Peace be thine.” Your husband, Dean ROBINSON, Lorraine 1940-2007 I’m no longer by your side, but there’s no need to weep; I’ve left sweet recollections I’m hoping you will keep Eternal joy and memories stay in our hearts forever, strengthening our special bond that parting cannot sever. Now it’s time to journey on, so let your faith be strong, For I am in a better place... I’m home where I belong.
I would like to thank you very much for the care and attention you gave Marcel Marin over the past two weeks. This has been a very difficult time for our family, but it could have been worse without your dedication and expertise. My family and I are truly grateful for the level of care you were able to administer to my husband. But, we’re also grateful for the time you took to talk with us to help us through our grief. It was a great comfort. Thanks again. Your professionalism was greatly appreciated. Leona Marin

Police told to keep quiet on surveillance technology GOVERNMENT ADVISING LOCAL DETACHMENTS NOT TO DISCLOSE DETAILS BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
UNITED STATES
WASHINGTON — The Obama administration has been quietly advising local police not to disclose details about surveillance technology they are using to sweep up basic cellphone data from entire neighbourhoods, The Associated Press has learned. Citing security reasons, the U.S. has intervened in routine state public records cases and criminal trials regarding use of the technology. This has resulted in police departments withholding materials or heavily censoring documents in rare instances when they disclose any about the purchase and use of such powerful surveillance equipment. Federal involvement in local open records proceedings is unusual. It comes at a time when President Barack Obama has said he welcomes a debate on government surveillance and called for more transparency about spying in the wake of disclosures about classified federal surveillance programs. One well-known type of this surveillance equipment is known as a Stingray, an innovative way for law enforcement to track cellphones used by suspects and gather evidence. The equipment tricks cellphones into identifying their owners’ account information and transmitting data to police as if it were a phone company’s tower. That allows police to obtain cellphone information without having to ask for help from service providers, such as Verizon or AT&T, and can locate a phone without the user even making a call or sending a text message.
But without more details about how the technology works and under what circumstances it’s used, it’s unclear whether the technology might violate a person’s constitution rights or whether it’s a good investment of taxpayer dollars. Interviews, court records and public-records requests show the Obama administration is asking agencies to withhold common information about the equipment, such as how the technology is used and how to turn it on. That pushback has come in the form of FBI affidavits and consultation in local criminal cases. “These extreme secrecy efforts are in relation to very controversial, local government surveillance practices using highly invasive technology,” said Nathan Freed Wessler, a staff attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union, which has fought for the release of these types of records. “If public participation means anything, people should have the facts about what the government is doing to them.” Harris Corp., a key manufacturer of this equipment, built a secrecy element into its authorization agreement with the Federal Communications Commission in 2011. That authorization has an unusual requirement: that local law enforcement “co-ordinate with the FBI the acquisition and use of the equipment.” Companies like Harris need FCC authorization in order to sell wireless equipment that could interfere with radio frequencies. A spokesman from Harris Corp. said

and other criminal activity because through public disclosures, this technology has been rendered essentially useless for future investigations.” Morrison said revealing any information about the technology would violate a federal homeland security law about information-sharing and armscontrol laws — legal arguments that that outside lawyers and transparency experts said are specious and don’t comport with court cases on the U.S. Freedom of Information Act. The FBI did not answer questions about its role in states’ open records proceedings. But a former Justice Department official said the federal government should be making this argument in federal court, not a state level where different public records laws apply. “The federal government appears to be attempting to assert a federal interest in the information being sought, but it’s going about it the wrong way,” said Dan Metcalfe, the former director of the Justice Department’s office of information and privacy. Currently Metcalfe is the executive director of American University’s law school Collaboration on Government Secrecy project. A criminal case in Tallahassee cites the same homeland security laws in Morrison’s affidavit, court records show, and prosecutors told the court they consulted with the FBI to keep portions of a transcript sealed. That transcript, released earlier this month, revealed that Stingrays “force” cellphones to register their location and identifying information with the police device and enables officers to track calls whenever the phone is on.

the company will not discuss its products for the Defence Department and law enforcement agencies, although public filings showed government sales of communications systems such as the Stingray accounted for nearly one-third of its $5 billion in revenue. “As a government contractor, our solutions are regulated and their use is restricted,” spokesman Jim Burke said. Local police agencies have been denying access to records about this surveillance equipment under state public records laws. Agencies in San Diego, Chicago and Oakland County, Michigan, for instance, declined to tell the AP what devices they purchased, how much they cost and with whom they shared information. San Diego police released a heavily censored purchasing document. Oakland officials said police-secrecy exemptions and attorney-client privilege keep their hands tied. It was unclear whether the Obama administration interfered in the AP requests. “It’s troubling to think the FBI can just trump the state’s open records law,” said Ginger McCall, director of the open government project at the Electronic Privacy Information Center. McCall suspects the surveillance would not pass constitutional muster. “The vast amount of information it sweeps in is totally irrelevant to the investigation,” she said. A court case challenging the public release of information from the Tucson Police Department includes an affidavit from an FBI special agent, Bradley Morrison, who said the disclosure would “result in the FBI’s inability to protect the public from terrorism

Taliban warns voters to stay away from polls GOVERNMENT TIGHTENS SECURITY WITH SOLDIERS AND POLICE AT CHECKSTOPS AFGHANISTAN BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS KABUL, Afghanistan — Afghan police and soldiers manned checkpoints at almost every intersection Thursday, searching vehicles and frisking drivers in a massive security operation ahead of elections to choose a new president to guide the country after international combat forces withdraw. Insurgents fighting the Westernbacked government have intensified attacks ahead of Saturday’s runoff vote, and the Taliban issued a new statement warning voters to stay away from the polls. The first round in April passed relatively peacefully, but a recent assassination attempt against one of the two presidential hopefuls left in the race has stoked fears of more violence to come. “The Islamic Emirate deems it necessary to alert the people and warn them for the last time that they should not participate in this American process, deliberately or inadvertently,” the Taliban said Wednesday in a statement posted online. Still, the senior U.N. envoy for Afghanistan expressed confidence Afghan voters would turn out as they did in the first round to decide their future by picking a new leader to oversee the transition after most U.S. and allied forces pull out by the end of this year. Jan Kubis, the U.N. secretary general’s special representative for Afghanistan, also called on the candidates to give electoral authorities time to tally the ballots — most of which will come from remote regions, often transported by donkeys — and resolve any complaints amid widespread fears of fraud. “Give a chance to due process, respect the work of the Commissions, don’t jump to conclusions,” he said. “Don’t make statements or comments in anticipation of the results. it will just mislead the people. control yourself, act as responsible politicians.” He was referring to the likelihood that the campaigns of front-runner Abdullah Abdullah, the target of last week’s attack, and former Finance Minister Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai will start releasing their internal tallies before formal results are announced. The official timetable is for prelimi-

Afghan national army soldiers search a car at a checkpoint on the outskirts of Jalalabad, east of Kabul, Afghanistan, Thursday, Afghan police and soldiers manned checkpoints at almost every intersection Thursday, searching vehicles and frisking drivers in a massive security operation ahead of elections to choose a new president to guide the country after international combat forces withdraw. nary results to be announced on July 2 and final results on July 22 in order to allow time for ballots to be secured and fraud complaints investigated. The stakes are high as the winner will replace President Hamid Karzai, a one-time U.S. ally whose relations with Washington have soured, in the first peaceful democratic transfer of power in the country’s history. Karzai has governed Afghanistan since the Taliban were ousted following the U.S. invasion in 2001, and is constitutionally barred from seeking a third term. Karzai on Thursday called on Afghans to vote for the candidate of their choice in order to bring about a “stable, secure and developed future” for the war-ravaged country. “The security forces of our country are fully ready to ensure security with the help of you, the people, for the

election,” he said in a statement. The Obama administration is watching closely. Both candidates have pledged to sign a security pact with the U.S. that would allow thousands of international forces to stay in Afghanistan in a largely training and advisory capacity. Karzai has refused to sign it. Afghan security forces were widely praised for the April 5 elections, which were held without major violence despite a series of deadly attacks in the weeks beforehand. Karzai held a video conference with commanders Thursday to urge them to remain impartial and refrain from interfering in the second round balloting. Traffic was snarled even more than usual on the streets of Kabul as police set up extra checkpoints and barriers on many roads to allow only one car through at a time.
They also searched many drivers and passengers for possible explosives or other weapons. The Afghan Interior Ministry announced that it was banning most trucks and people from other provinces from entering the capital on Election Day. “Trucks loaded with vegetables that are in danger of being spoiled will be allowed to enter the city after a very careful search process by police,” it said. The Cabinet also has approved a week off for school and university students that began Tuesday because of security issues. A suicide bomber on a motorcycle killed a police officer Thursday in the southern city of Kandahar, according to Dawa Khan Menapal, a spokesman for the Kandahar provincial government.
TERRITORIAL DISPUTE
controversy ISRAEL BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS JERUSALEM — A video promoting Tel Aviv’s Gay Pride Parade featuring Israeli transsexual star Dana International dancing suggestively in a synagogue in front of children has been taken offline after the parents of one of the youngsters claimed they did not provide consent to participate. The family, believing the video to be part of an “innocent” tourism campaign, complained after seeing it on national TV. The controversy comes on the eve of the parade, an annual celebration expected to attract over 120,000 people on Friday. The two-minute clip featuring Dana’s new single, “Kids Are Much Fun,” in which the singer, wearing a blond wig and long black dress, poses suggestively as a boy meant to be her son reads from the Torah during his bar mitzvah, a holy Jewish rite of passage. The video was filmed in a Tel Aviv synagogue, using 15 boys who were recruited from a religious school in a nearby suburb. The video’s director, Omer Tobi, said the students were picked by a nephew of Dana’s manager who is the main character in the video. While Tobi said the theme of the video was clear from the outset, the parents of one of the boys said they were misled. A relative of the sixth grader said he was invited to participate in a short film “simply” about a bar mitzvah intended to promote tourism in Israel. “That’s all what we knew, that’s what we agreed for him to participate (in). Nothing more, nothing less,” the relative said. “We never signed anything.” He spoke on condition of anonymity in order to protect the boy’s identity.

Protesters display placards showing national hero Apolinario Mabini, while shouting slogans outside the Chinese Consulate at the financial district of Makati city east of Manila Thursday during a rally against recent reclamation and construction at Mabini Reef in the disputed Spratlys group of islands in the South China Sea. The protesters, who are allied with Philippine President Benigno Aquino III, marked the country’s Independence Day Thursday, with a protest rally against China’s aggressive moves to reclaim land in the South China Sea where the two countries are locked in an escalating territorial dispute.
Some marijuana restrictions relaxed in Jamaica BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS KINGSTON, Jamaica — Jamaica’s government on Thursday announced a major rethinking of its marijuana laws, including plans to partially decriminalize small amounts of pot and to allow possession for religious, scientific and medical purposes. Justice Minister Mark Golding said the Cabinet is backing a proposal to make possession of no more than 2 ounces (57 grams) of marijuana, or “ganja” as it’s known locally, a petty offence that would result in a fine but not a criminal arrest. “I wish to stress that the proposed changes to the law are not intended to
promote or give a stamp of approval to the use of ganja for recreational purposes,” Golding said. “The objective is to provide a more enlightened approach to dealing with possession of small quantities.” Golding also announced that marijuana will be decriminalized for religious purposes — a major victory for Jamaica’s homegrown Rastafari spiritual movement. Many Rastafarians smoke marijuana as a sacrament which they say brings them closer to the divine but they have always faced the possibility of prosecution for doing so. Government plans call for decriminalization for medicinal and scientific purposes as Jamaica hopes to cash in
on the burgeoning cannabis industry. “It is not only wrong but also foolhardy to continue with a law that makes it illegal to possess ganja and its derivatives for medicinal purposes,” Golding said. Legislation will also be drafted to provide a path for people to get criminal records expunged if they have been convicted under the current law for smoking small amounts of marijuana. Debate has raged for decades around loosening marijuana laws in Jamaica, an island that is nearly as famous for its weed as it is for its scenic beaches and unique culture. The drug has been pervasive but outlawed for a century on the island where about 300 young men receive criminal records each week for possessing a little mari-
juana. Previous efforts in Jamaica to decriminalize small amounts of marijuana have been scuttled because officials feared they would violate international treaties and bring sanctions from Washington. But as the pot decriminalization movement gains unprecedented traction across the globe, particularly in U.S. states, there’s been a growing push to lift restrictions on a cash-strapped island where political leaders have been emboldened by changes in the U.S. “I think it highly unlikely this will get a negative reaction from the Obama administration,” said Ethan Nadelmann, director of the non-profit Drug Policy Alliance, a pro-legalization group based in New York.
