ZEBRA MUSSELS

Province’s new plan welcomed BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF

BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF

Alberta’s plan to step up the defence against zebra mussels is welcomed by Sylvan Lake Mayor Sean McIntyre. Sylvan Lake and Alberta’s other water bodies are free of zebra and quagga mussels, and McIntyre said every effort should be made to keep it that way. The mussels proliferate rapidly once introduced by boats travelling from a contaminated lake to another water body. They clog water intakes, befoul docks and boats, increase algae blooms and generally play havoc with the environment. Zebra mussels have caused millions of dollars in damage in the Great Lakes and have been found as far west as Lake Winnipeg. In the U.S., the Colorado River basin — a popular spot for Alberta snowbirds — is infected with quagga mussels. McIntyre said there has been extensive discussion about how to respond to the mussel threat at meetings of the Sylvan Lake Management Committee, which includes representatives from the town, neighbouring counties and five summer villages. What makes the mussels so dangerous is their hardiness. “Once they infest a body of water, there has not been a way proven to get them out of there,” he said. Even Canadian winters don’t kill off the harmful crustaceans. Given the difficulty — if not impossibility — of getting rid of infestations, prevention is the best defence, he said. The province’s Clean, Drain, Dry information campaign is a start, but mandatory checks of boats travelling into the province from other lakes will add another layer of defence. Lacombe County Coun. Keith Stephenson said the municipality hosted an information session at Sunbreaker Cove last summer and plans to be back again this summer.

Red Deer is getting 180 more continuing care beds as part of the province’s plan to help fund the construction of 31 housing projects for seniors in 18 communities across Alberta. On Thursday, the province announced it will put $180 million in Affordable Supportive Living Initiative grants towards the projects that will create a total of 2,612 continuing care beds. The Red Deer beds will be split between two projects. A 120-bed facility called The Hamlets at Red Deer will be built and operated by H&H Total Care Services Inc., of Surrey, B.C. Andre Van Ryk, chief financial officer of H&H Total Care Services, said he expects the beds will be supportive living Level 4 beds, but the province is still finalizing those details. Level 4 is one level below long-term care, which is the highest care level for seniors. H&H has been operating in Alberta since last year, when it took over The Hamlets at Cedarwood Station in Airdrie, a private seniors facility. “I’m excited about being in Red Deer. We know that the seniors are definitely served well and will continue to be so,” Van Ryk said on Thursday. He could not disclose the location of the project yet, but hoped construction would start in the fall. It will take about 18 months to build. Sixty long-term care beds will also be added to Covenant Care Villa Marie in Clearview Ridge. Villa Marie opened in January with 24 supportive living Level 4 beds for people with dementia, and 76 regular supportive living Level 4 care beds, including six one-bedroom suites for couples.

Brian Malley appealing his murder conviction INNISFAIL MAN WAS CONVICTED OF FIRST-DEGREE MURDER LAST MONTH The man convicted in a bombing death is appealing his conviction. Brian Andrew Malley, 57, of Innisfail was convicted by a jury on Feb. 24 of first-degree murder in the bombing death of Victoria Shachtay. His appeal of the conviction was filed on March 6 at the Calgary Court of Appeals. It will be heard on May 12 during the court’s scheduled sitting to speak to criminal matters. Shachtay was killed on Nov. 25, 2011,

when she opened a Christmas gift left on the doorstep of her Innisfail home. That gift disguised a pipe bomb, which detonated when the 23-year-old quadriplegic single mother opened it. After a five-week trial in Red Deer Court of Queen’s Bench, a jury of eight women and four men deliberated for six hours before convicting Malley. Malley was sentenced to life in prison, with no possibility for parole for 25 years. At the conclusion of the trial, Crown prosecutor Anders Quist said he expected an appeal to be filed. During the trial, Quist said the mo-

tive for the bombing was financial. Shachtay had invested $575,000 with Malley, money she had received as a settlement from the 2004 crash that left her paralyzed from the neck down. From 2007 to 2011, Shachtay had an investment account that Malley managed. By April 2011, the money was gone. Much of it was lost in 2008 when the shares of the largest portion of the investment (92 per cent) were cut in half due to market pressures. From 2007 to Oct. 15, 2011, Malley made payments to Shachtay totalling $44,000 from his personal accounts.

Quist said Malley killed Shachtay to cut his losses. Malley’s defence counsel Bob Aloneissi called the conviction a miscarriage of justice, comparing it to the convictions of David Milgaard and Guy Paul Morin. Both were convicted of murder, but were later acquitted or exonerated. “Malley’s credentials are that he was accused of a horrific murder, and he suffered the injustice of a tunnel vision investigation which skewed the facts to fit their suspect,” Aloneissi wrote in an email to the Advocate.

RIPPING INTO SPRING

CANADA

BRIEFS

Accused at Calgary murder trial says girlfriend’s death was an accident CALGARY — A Calgary man accused of first-degree murder in the death of his 20-year old girlfriend says he had used chokeholds on people before during his days as a bouncer and they only passed out. Kristopher Guenther, 32, admits he choked Lacey Jones-McKnight when they got into an argument, but says he was only trying to restrain her and her death was an accident. The prosecution contends Guenther bound, gagged and strangled Jones-McKnight and then drove her to the downtown bar where she worked before trying to hang himself from a city bridge. Under cross-examination, Guenther did not have an explanation for two marks found on Jones-McKnight’s neck that were not consistent with the type of chokehold he said he’d used before. The Crown also tried to discredit Guenther’s version of events by referencing text messages and phone records and argued that Jones-McKnight was dead long before he loaded her into the car. Closing arguments in the case are expected to be delivered on Monday and then Guenther’s fate will be in the hands of the judge. He testified earlier this week that he “snapped” when she spit in his face during the argument over his talk of suicide and his admission he was seeing another woman. Other witnesses have testified he drove across the city with her body, even showing it to a former girlfriend and admitting to Lacey’s mother that he had killed her daughter.

Spring is looking good up at Sunshine Village. Here a skier cranks a turn in Bye Bye Bowl off the Great Divide chair over the weekend. Longer days, smaller crowds and warm sunny days can make for some of the best ski days in the Rockies. Although it has been a low snow year at many resorts in the west March is typically a big month for snow so for the die-hard skiers and snowboarders spring can bring in some great skiing and riding.

Quality over quantity: CRTC to lower quotas on Canadian content on the tube

B.C. raises minimum wage 20 cents; future increases tied to inflation VANCOUVER — British Columbia is increasing its minimum wage by 20 cents to $10.45, three years after its last boost, the province announced Thursday. Jobs Minister Shirley Bond said the increase, which takes effect this September, is indexed to B.C.’s Consumer Price Index and future increases will also be tied to inflation. The province has a separate wage for minimum wage for workers who serve alcohol. That rate will increase to $9.20, up from $9. Bond said the modest hike is just one among a suite of announcements from the Liberal government aimed at raising the standard of living for low income earners. “When you take all these pieces in totality, we believe this is a reasonable approach,” she told reporters in Victoria. “For me, the most important policy decision is the indexing. Because it does mean that there is now certainty and predictability.” The government expects the economy to grow over the next several years, meaning the CPI would also increase and the minimum wage would continue to go up, she said. But Bond added the decision also recognizes that small business owners can’t handle a more drastic jump. The B.C. Federation of Labour had been lobbying for a $15 minimum wage, which argued is needed to pull full-time workers above the poverty line.

MUSSELS: Risk for contamination Given the amount of tourist boat traffic drawn to Sylvan Lake, it is considered at risk for contamination by mussels. A number of U.S. states to the south and other Western provinces have set up inspection points to try to catch boats carrying invasive species, including plants. Mandatory inspections are a “great step,” he said. “I know at the provincial level this is a high priority right now.” With hundreds of boat launches across the province, setting up inspections at all of them would be impractical, if not impossible. Last summer, voluntary checks were offered at four popular routes into the province. Only about

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — The country’s broadcast regulator is cutting decades-old quotas that govern the volume of Canadian content on TV, a significant shift it hopes will boost the quality of programming that originates north of the border. Under the changes, broadcasters will no longer be forced to air Canadian-made TV programs during the day, but they will still have to set aside at least half of their prime-time schedules to Canuck content, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission announced Thursday. The CRTC expects the change to bring positive side effects for viewers, including fewer repeats of Canadian shows during the day. The regulator also said it intends to take steps to ensure stations invest more cash into Canadian shows. The goal, said CRTC chairman Jean-Pierre Blais, is to help the industry enter into the brave new world — across multiple platforms — of on-demand programming, where the active viewer is “emperor.” “Today there is a fundamental shift in the television landscape,” Blais said in prepared remarks of a half of the Alberta-bound boat owners stopped at check points, where four boats with live mussels were found. A washing station with high-pressure hot water was on hand to clean the boats before they moved on. The new legislation, which could be approved by boating season, also adds a prohibited species list, including aquatic invasive fish, invertebrates and unwanted plants, to the Fisheries Act. Law enforcement officers will also be given greater authority to deal with contaminated watercraft. Similar legislation was enacted in Manitoba last December. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

speech he delivered Thursday in Ottawa. “We’re tearing down barriers to innovation that have hampered broadcasters and producers.” The measures will drop existing Canadian content requirements for daytime programming from 55 per cent to zero. The CRTC will continue to enforce the prime-time minimum of 50 per cent between 6 p.m. and 11 p.m. The changes will also require that at least 35 per cent of the programs aired on specialty channels are made in Canada. Currently, specialty channels must broadcast between 15 and 85 per cent Canadian content. The suite of new CRTC measures announced Thursday also opened the door for Canadian videoon-demand services to offer their own exclusive content — as long as it’s also available online, across the country and without a cable or satellite subscription. Blais said he believes removing some of the CRTC’s content shackles will free up Canadian creativity. “Some may balk at the suggestion that Canadian programming can reach the same heights as shows created in the other major global markets,” his speech said. “If it’s possible for Britons, Australians and Danes to create world-class television programs and films, why not us?” ond phase. “We specifically applied for long-term care beds as part of our proposal so we’re thrilled,” said Truman Severson, vice-president of innovation and business development with Covenant Health. Severson said he’d like to see construction begin in five months and anticipated it would take 18 months or less to complete. “I think we’re seeing a greater availability of contractors so I’m pretty confident we’ll be able to cut the time back a fair bit.” Other seniors projects under construction in Red Deer include: ● Points West Living, at 6791 65th Ave. near Taylor Drive, which will have 114 supportive living Level 4 care beds, including at least 39 dementia beds. The 139-unit project received a $5.5 million Affordable Supportive Living Initiative grant. ● Another project that broke ground last month for Christenson Communities will have 60 supportive living beds, including 20 dementia beds, in Timberstone. The 120-unit project received a $4.7-million grant. szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com

ALBERTA BRIEF

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — The Alberta Energy Regulator says it will inspect the structural integrity and review the safety records of 65 dams used by the oilsands and coal industries in the province. The announcement follows criticism by the auditor general that the provincial government is failing to properly regulate Alberta’s network of dams and tailings ponds. The 65 dams are used to contain industrial waste and the regulator says 32 are classified as posing either “extreme” or “very high” environmental consequences if they were to fail. CEO Jim Ellis said the regulator will apply the same safety standards to these dams that are used on oil and natural gas pipelines in order to ensure the safe, environmentally responsible development of energy resources. “The auditor general has recognized the AER’s pipeline regulation performance,

to fail, including the Cheviot mine and the Obed mine, both near Hinton, Bob Curran, a spokesman with the regulator said Thursday. In October 2013 an estimated 670 million litres of waste water gushed out of the earthen dam at the Obed operation, some of it ending up in the Athabasca River. Environment Canada has said the spill contained damaging compounds such as arsenic, mercury, cadmium, lead and manganese. The cause of the breach is still being investigated by the regulator and the federal government. No decision has been made on whether the owner of the mine at the time, Sherritt International, will face charges. In his report released Thursday auditor general Merwan Saher said the Obed mine site in 2013 was not registered as a dam even though it met the requirements. He said most of the mines used by the coal industry have not been inspected since the 1980s or 1990s and there are no safety reviews on file for 22 of the structures.

Whale slams boat of snorkellers off Mexican resort, killing Canadian CABO SAN LUCAS, Mexico—- A Canadian woman has died in a freak accident in Mexico after a whale jumped out of the water and crashed into a tourist boat. Mexican authorities say the 35-year-old was on a small inflatable vessel as it was returning from a snorkelling tour Wednesday off the coast of Cabo San Lucas. Capt. Vicente Martinez with the Mexican navy identified the victim as Jennifer Karren. On Thursday, WorleyParsons, the project and consulting company in Calgary where Karren worked for six years, offered their condolences to her family and friends. “Jen died in a tragic accident while holidaying in Mexico,” said a statement from the company, which said she was a member of their mail services and facilities management team. “Her colleagues remember her as a positive, friendly teammate who was willing to help out whenever she could. She always spoke kindly of everyone with whom she came in contact.

and Albertans can be confident that we will apply that same rigour to all AER-regulated dams,” he said. The regulator took responsibility for regulating energy industry dams from Alberta’s Environment Department last year. Of the 65 dams, 40 are related to the oilsands industry and 25 are related to coal mining. The inspections and review of past safety records are to begin in May and wrap up by October, with the results to be made public. A list of oilsands industry dams that pose either “extreme” or “very high” consequences if they were to fail indicates there is no annual performance report or safety review for Syncrude’s Mildred Lake dam. All of the other dams on the list indicate they have been reviewed or reported on in the last three years, except for two that are still in the design stage. A similar list of the coal mine dams was not immediately available. Two of the coal mine dams are classified as posing a “high” consequence if they were

EDMONTON —The Alberta Liberals are pushing to make vaccinations mandatory in the province’s schools. Interim Liberal Leader David Swann pointed out during Question Period that a number of jurisdictions require proof of vaccinations before a child enters school. It was a proposal Health Minister Stephen Mandel said he took seriously. He said his department would want to consult with school boards, parents and other Albertans. Mandel called it an important issue, but said rules need to be followed, and the wishes of parents need to be taken into consideration.

The truth about Prentice WHAT ALBERTANS NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THEIR PREMIER BY STEPHEN MURGATROYD SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE What do we know now about Alberta Premier Jim Prentice? What do his actions, words and behaviour tell us about him? This is what I am observing: ● He is imperial. He expects his instructions to be followed, for example by Committees of the House over which he has no jurisdiction. He alone rules. He sees his cabinet members as followers not colleagues and we have seen several of them blindsided by his decisions or contradictions. ● He has partial hearing. He listens with one ear to the corporate entities that have supported the Progressive Conservatives for over 40 years and doesn’t listen at all to those who take a rational, cold look at Alberta’s situation. He is quick to ensure that people know he can’t hear them by repeatedly

denying major opportunities for transformative change. This is coupled with the fact that he is partially sighted — he can only see in one direction. ● He has visions. He sees what others see, but is sure his visions — interpretations — represent the ‘new reality’ of Alberta: a much smaller, leaner and meaner public service; a more compliant public; a less needy group of people even if they are working poor, single parents, disabled or otherwise in need of our collective support. ● He is positioning himself as a saviour. However, he lacks the necessary characteristics of compassion, engagement, healing or ability to inspire. Indeed, he is fast becoming an anti-saviour, having engendered more resentment in a shorter time than any of his PC predecessors. ● He is not to blame. Indeed, he positions himself as faultless and his government as having been sent by some divine process to “save Alberta.” The

fact that almost all the people around the cabinet table conspired to get us into the situation we now need saving from is ignored in the new rhetoric of “Prenticism.” ● He is strategically naïve. He is presenting himself as a strategist, yet his policy positions are imported (cut government, promote austerity, ensure the rich are happy), which is no strategy for Alberta. What Alberta needs is honest straight-talk — without looking in a mirror. We need a systematic, results-based approach to budgeting, selective and strategic budget reductions in government departments, a rethink of health care, strong devolution in education (massively reducing the role of government and trusting school boards and schools), a new regime for revenue that follows the advice of the Premiers Council on Economic Strategy, and a much more effective, transparent and

engaging system and process of governance for Alberta. Prentice’s strategy — import Republicanism and take a shotgun to the budget rather than a snipers rifle — is not a strategy at all. He is not a leader. Genuine, authentic leaders engage and inspire. He has enraged and created despair amongst those who have spent their life rethinking Alberta and trying to help Alberta communities and government become the Alberta the world needs to see. So that is what I think we know about our premier. He is articulate and seems to be a stable and mindful person. I am sure he genuinely believes he is doing the right thing. The trouble is, it is not right for Alberta. Stephen Murgatroyd is a consultant in innovative business and education practices with a PHd in psychology. This column is supplied by Troy Media (www. troymedia.com).

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Yes, all Albertans are to blame — for electing the Conservatives Elected politicians are stewards of our society. These people make choices and decisions which determine our fate. We trust them to do so. Premier Jim Prentice seems right when he suggests that we should only look in the mirror to see who is responsible for our present demise. Indeed, but the suggestion in my mind should really be: “Look in the mirror, Albertans, to see the persons who are responsible for electing the same party to power for 40 years and not provided a healthy opposition to monitor, criticize and suggest better ways to do the job.” Trust is not enough. Glenn Allen Red Deer

Why trust evolutionists? Their theory can’t be proven On March 4, Greg Neiman proclaimed in his column that any Canadian elected official who believes in special creation should be disqualified “from ever holding decision-making power in education, health care or the environment.” Elsewhere in the column, Neiman generously allows that “holding lake of fire” (non-mainstream?) views in any direction does not disqualify you to run for office.” However, since “Canada does hew to the centre,” Neiman admires politicians such as Pierre Trudeau, Naheed Nenshi, and even Stephen Harper, who can ignore their personal religious views as they pander to the public. Personal-political schizophrenia is desirable, says he. Majority rules. However, those who acknowledge that they don’t share the views of the majority on, say, evolution, such as B.C. MP James Lunney, are hopelessly unreasonable people akin to those who deny the law of gravity. You can’t argue with them, says the writer. Just restrict them. Well, you can’t argue with the evolutionists either. Even though they cannot provide scientific evidence for some key pieces of the evolutionary puzzle, such as the process for the development of living organisms from inanimate matter, and the mechanism for the evolution of one species from another, they proclaim loudly that their unproven paradigm is “scientific.” Never mind that science is knowledge based on observation and that no one has ever demonstrated, let alone observed, how life came from non-life. Never mind that fossils of the trillions of transitional forms Darwin required to validate his theory of macroevolution have not been found. Never mind that the advantageous mutations required for this discredited theory do not exist. Never mind that the mathematical odds against evolution are greater than the odds required for a jumbo jet to assemble itself from parts in a junkyard. Don’t worry, though, add the evolutionists. Evolution happened, and if we don’t have the evidence yet, it’s out there somewhere, and we’ll provide it someday. Meanwhile, just trust us. Any day now we should be able to validate all that circumstantial “evidence” we’ve been assembling. Remember that we represent the scientific majority. Have faith in us. It’s clear that evolutionists should never be allowed to hold decision-making power in education, health care or the environment, either. Why should they, since like the fabled emperor, they’re not wearing any clothes? But they will, because they’re the majority. In pluralistic Canada, is anyone really qualified to manage those sensitive portfolios? Jacob M. Van Vliet Red Deer County

Foreign worker changes don’t apply to farm program I would like to provide some clarifications in response to the article by Dr. Sylvain Charlebois, published in your Saturday, March 7, edition (How Ottawa bungled the TFW program). The government reformed the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) to ensure that employers put Canadian workers first. Canadians must always be first in line for available jobs, however most of these reforms do not apply to on-farm primary agriculture, including the Seasonal Agricultural Workers Program (SAWP) because the federal government recognizes that there are proven acute labour shortages in the agriculture sector. Contrary to your article, Canadian farmers remain exempt from many of the changes, including the application fee and the cap on low-wage workers. There is also an exception for the SAWP with regards to the “four-year rule.” If a foreign worker has already worked in Canada for four years but is seeking a work permit under the SAWP, the application can be approved. In most cases, farmers will not see any change to their access to the program. They will continue to be able to hire the foreign workers that depend on seasonal work in Canada to support their families. In fact, more than 70 per cent of participating workers return annually.

from the oil-revenue-driven Progressive Conservative budget (and pointed out that the provincial employees have been at the front of the gravy train), he has opened up Pandora’s box for the next round of attacks from the opposing parties. Of course, ridiculous rhetoric from Rachel Notley will do nothing to further her cause, but grasping at straws is all the opposition parties have in the face of the PC juggernaut. Premier Jim Prentice’s candor has kept him in good stead, but this time staying quiet would have been the wise choice. Now we will endure another round of overblown news articles, when everyone knows that the PCs will be re-elected anyways. Let’s get the election over, so we can all begin to feel the pain of the new budget, which the PCs will say was mandated by their re-election. Randy Pentland Red Deer

WILDROSE PARTY

BRIEFS

Shane Saskiw quitting politics

Winnipeg man accused of harassing former lover with sex-tape threats WINNIPEG — A Winnipeg judge has reserved his decision on a criminal harassment case involving a married man and a scorned lover. Court was told it all started when a couple met by chance when one of them accidentally phoned the wrong number. They started dating, but things ended badly when the woman found out the man hadn’t told her he was already married. The woman says she insisted he pick between her and his wife, and says she ended the relationship when he decided to stay in his marriage. However, she alleges she began receiving a series of threatening emails from the man’s work account in 2011, saying he would soon go public with a sex video they had recorded together. Apollo Marcelo Rodella has pleaded not guilty, testifying his email at Manitoba Hydro must have been hacked because he did not send the messages. Judge Brian Corrin said he will make a ruling later this spring.

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — The number of incumbent Wildrose politicians who will be running in what many expect will be a spring election has dropped to three after house leader Shayne Saskiw announced Thursday that he is leaving politics. Saskiw, 33, said he will not seek reelection in his constituency of Lac La Biche-St. Paul-Two Hills, but will stay on for now. “You just become a bit disillusioned with politics altogether,” Saskiw said, referring particularly to 11 former Wildrose colleagues who crossed the floor late last year to join Premier Jim Prentice and the Progressive Conservatives. “One day, individuals are talking about keeping taxes low, not going into debt, and the next day they’re saying the complete opposite,” said Saskiw. “Now is the time to push for a model that pressures politicians to keep their word and their promises, and that to me is outside of the traditional party model.” Saskiw is in his first term as a member of the legislature after defeating PC cabinet minister Ray Danyluk by a tight margin in the 2012 election. Saskiw said he has found the legislature to be a “flawed model” for getting things done. Partisan fighting among parties prevents valuable collaborative work on legislation, he suggested. And true change is blunted when politicians arrive promising bold change, but instead craft minor policy alterations to remain popular. “I see a fair amount of people who are just in it for a job and a paycheque.” Saskiw said he expects a safe approach in Prentice’s March 26 budget, which is expected to be followed within days by an election call. Prentice has said the budget will reflect sacrifice and budget cuts to help replace billions of dollars taken from the treasury due to low oil prices. But Saskiw expects Prentice to deliver something far softer before going to the polls. “You’re going to see a centre-of-theroad budget despite all of the tough talk.” The Wildrose became Alberta’s official Opposition when 17 party members were elected in 2012, but only Pat Stier, Drew Barnes and Rick Strankman are running again. Interim leader Heather Forsyth announced some time ago that she would not seek re-election. Joe Anglin quit caucus in November and sits as an Independent.

Adviser appointed to review budget of cash-strapped Vancouver Board of Education VICTORIA — British Columbia’s education minister has appointed a special adviser to review the finances of Vancouver’s school board after learning about an anticipated $15-million deficit. Education Minister Peter Fassbender said the Vancouver Board of Education informed the government about its projected deficit last month and that an independent audit of its finances is needed. Fassbender said the adviser will work with the new chairman of the board, the superintendent and trustees to come up with ways to find savings in the budget. “I believe it’s achievable, but it’s not something that is without challenges,” he said, adding the adviser may make some recommendations. “The interim report will come to the minister and the Vancouver School Board. We will review that with the independent auditor and then the decisions that follow that will unfold.” The government’s decision to work with the board will potentially avoid “the blame game” by parents concerned about cuts to education programs, Fassbender said. The government says that over the past two decades, the Vancouver board has forecast large deficits but has consistently ended the school year with a surplus. “As of June 30, 2014, they held an accumulated surplus of $28.4 million, which is equivalent to six per cent of total district expenditures,” the Education Ministry said in a statement.

Medicine Hat mayor banned from driving for one year

Man believed to be pushing grocery cart when hit by vehicle in B.C.: police SURREY, B.C. — RCMP in Surrey, B.C., are asking for the public’s help as they investigate the hit-and-run death of a pedestrian. Police say the man was pushing a grocery cart at about 3:30 a.m. when he was struck from behind by a vehicle, possibly a semi-truck. He was taken to hospital but died of his injuries. Mounties and the coroners service are still trying to determine the identity of the victim, believed to be in his 30s or 40s. Police say they are gathering video surveillance in an effort to determine the type of vehicle involved.

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MEDICINE HAT— The mayor of a city in southeastern Alberta has been banned from driving for one year after pleading guilty to impaired driving. Ted Clugston entered his plea today in Medicine Hat provincial court. He was also fined $1,000. Court heard police observed a vehicle drifting between lanes and said Clugston exhibited signs of impairment, such as glossy eyes, a red face, and slow speech after he was pulled over on Feb. 13. Earlier this week, Clugston’s lawyer entered a not guilty plea in court, but a few hours later, the mayor sent out a statement saying he changed his mind against the advice of his lawyer. Clugston apologized in his statement, saying he “exercised very poor judgment” and had to take responsibility for his actions. The mayor also said his lawyer told him he had a good chance of being acquitted, but Clugston said he wanted to save his family and city from the humiliation of a trial. “I will take time to reflect and learn from this in the coming months and years. Hopefully some good can come of this. Since this incident occurred I have continued to work and attend all public events and functions where possible and I intend to continue to do so.”

Expert testifies about blood on suspect’s jeans at double murder trial in B.C.

NEWS IN BRIEF

The B.C. Coroners Service has released the name of a 45-year-old Alberta man who died in an avalanche near Golden, B.C. The agency says Robson Gmoser of Hervie Heights, Alta., near Canmore, was a professional ski guide who was struck and buried by a slab of avalanche on Tuesday. Gmoser was leading a group that returned to a lodge about 75 kilometres northwest of Golden just before he set out again with an apprentice guide.

PENTICTON, B.C. — Blood spatter stains found on a man’s jeans were consistent with what is produced when a bullet enters a human body, an expert has testified at a double murder trial. John Koopmans, 51, is accused of killing two people and injuring a third at a home near Princeton, B.C., on March 30, 2013. Koopmans was arrested the next day in a camper just metres from where two men and a woman were gunned down — Robert Keith Wharton, 43, Rosemary Fox, 32, and 50-yearold Bradley Martin. Koopmans is charged with the firstdegree murders of Wharton and Fox, and the attempted murder of Martin. RCMP Sgt. Diane Cockle, a blood stain pattern analyst, testified that her inspection of Koopmans’ light-blue jeans revealed what appeared to be a multitude of blood spatter stains on the upper-right thigh. She said such stains are typically round if they hit a surface straight on but there “has to be energy involved in creating them.” “In terms of the force used to create the dispersal of blood into spatter b& how would you describe the force from a large-calibre handgun?” Crown lawyer Frank Dubenski asked. “That’s a high-level force so I would expect to see high-level, high-energy spatter stains,” she said, noting the droplets would likely range in size from a fraction of a millimetre to several millimetres in diameter.

CANADA BRIEF

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — A class-action lawsuit launched by dissatisfied Afghan veterans is on hold because settlement talks are underway, The Canadian Press has learned. The legal challenge, which has become a political black eye for the Conservative government, was put into abeyance recently at the B.C. Supreme Court, two federal sources said Thursday. The decision — effectively a time-out from legal proceedings — was taken because both sides were facing court-imposed deadlines to file further submissions in the case. Don Sorochan, the lawyer for the soldiers, confirmed settlement talks are underway with the government, but declined to give details. “When the new minister came in, we’d had approaches to talk,” Sorochan said. “We notified the court — both parties — that we were in that situation and asked that we not bother filing these further materials that had been requested by the court, and they agreed to that.” The soldiers are determined to see change, but are also interested in hearing what the government has to say, Sorochan said — especially now that Erin O’Toole, a

former air force navigator, has taken over from Julian Fantino, who had a combative relationship with the veterans community. “The lawsuit is there for one purpose only and that is to improve the benefits for a broad class of veterans,” Sorochan said. “Legal mechanisms can only go partway and the court can’t impose legislation. It can declare it to be unconstitutional. To a certain extent, the relief we were seeking in court can be enhanced by discussion.” The ex-soldiers are challenging the government’s 2006 overhaul of veterans benefits, alleging the so-called new veterans charter is discriminatory under the charter of rights because it does not provide the same level of support as the old pension system. In defending the lawsuit, government lawyers outraged veterans by asserting that the federal government has no extraordinary obligation to those who’ve fought for the country. They argued it is unfair to bind the current government to a system of benefits and entitlements promises made nearly a century ago by another prime minister. Those statements have been politically toxic to the Harper government, which prides itself on supporting the troops, and has led to increasing friction with former soldiers.

Conservatives have been scrambling to fix the battered relationship ahead of the election scheduled for this fall. Plans are underway to roll out a series of measures between now and the summer. The political campaign began on Monday in Toronto, where O’Toole announced the creation of a retirement fund for moderately and severely wounded soldiers who otherwise might spend their final years in poverty. Federal sources said the minister would be in Halifax on Friday to announce new measures for wounded reservists and their families, giving part-time members the same access to the same benefits and support as full-time military members during their rehabilitation programs. Such a plan would address a gap identified by the House of Commons veterans committee in a report last June. The unequal treatment of reservists, many of whom served in Afghanistan, is another sensitive topic for the Conservatives, who have put a politically charged overhaul of the reserve force organization on hold. National Defence was supposed to have delivered a new structure for the part-time, volunteer force by this spring’s budget, but it likely won’t be done until after the election, scheduled for October.

NFB of Canada outlines plan for layoffs, shared offices MONTREAL — The National Film Board of Canada says a series of cost-saving measures that include shared offices and 16 layoffs ensure the agency’s financial stability through 2020. The cuts include eight workshop educators in Montreal and Toronto, who will lose their jobs at the end of June, as well as the elimination of three director positions and the assistant commissioner position. NFB chair Claude Joli-Coeur says the changes are meant to “establish a less hierarchical and more cohesive structure.” The $5 million in savings will be reinvested throughout the organization, but a spokeswoman says they will not increase production funds. In a letter outlining his vision through 2020, Joli-Coeur says the NFB is also creating seven new positions. Spokeswoman Lily Robert says that includes six positions in digital marketing and one in education. Joli-Coeur says the NFB is also creating the position of director general of creation/innovation, who will be charged with developing a longterm vision and programming strategy. The position will be posted in a few weeks through a recruitment firm and is expected to be filled by early summer.

Man accused in Halifax chemicals case to apply for bail on Friday HALIFAX — A bail hearing for a man accused of possessing volatile chemicals that led to evacuations in Halifax and Ottawa is scheduled for Friday. Forty-two-year-old Christopher Phillips was arrested in an Ottawa hotel on Jan. 21 after the building was evacuated. He was later brought back to Halifax where he was charged with uttering threats and possession of a weapon — the chemical osmium tetroxide — for a dangerous purpose. Police have said the cottage and a shed that Phillips owned in the coastal community of Grand Desert were filled with chemicals in various states of degradation.

VANCOUVER — A judge has dismissed a legal challenge that would have torpedoed a B.C. group’s plan to turn a former destroyer into an artificial reef near Vancouver. The Save Halkett Bay Marine Park Society asked a Federal Court judge to overturn an environmental permit allowing the sinking of the former HMCS Annapolis near Gambier Island. The group claimed the vessel’s paint contained toxic chemicals and it argued Environment Canada should not given the Artificial Reef Society of B.C. a permit to sink it. Federal Court Chief Justice Paul Crampton says the toxins were common ingredients in an anti-fouling paint and were not in an active state. He also noted the ship was last painted two decades ago. The decision lifts an injunction that had been preventing the ship from being moved or sunk.

Deporting alleged Environmental activists, terrorist ‘absurd,’ aboriginals fear anti-terror bill lawyer says will tread on rights BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

BILL C-51

OTTAWA — The federal government’s assurances that its anti-terrorism bill will not be a licence to spy on activists have done little to calm the fears of aboriginal leaders, environmentalists and human rights advocates. Several critics said Thursday they have reason to believe the legislation would be used to step up surveillance of protesters opposed to petroleum projects and other resource developments. “We don’t want to be labelled as terrorists in our own territories, our own homelands, for standing up to protect the land and waters,” Assembly of First Nations national chief Perry Bellegarde told the House of Commons public safety committee. Bellegarde indicated the bill would be challenged in the courts, saying the federal government did not fulfil its duty to consult Aboriginal Peoples. The committee plans to hear more than 50 witnesses on the bill, introduced in response to extremist-inspired attacks that killed two Canadian soldiers last October. The legislation would give the Canadian Security Intelligence Service the ability to actively disrupt terror plots, make it easier for police to limit the movements of a suspect, expand no-fly list powers and take aim at terrorist propaganda. In addition, the bill would relax the sharing of federally held information about activity that “undermines the security of Canada.” Neither the new disruptive powers nor the information-sharing provisions apply to “lawful” advocacy, protest or dissent, but some fear the bill could

be used against activists who demonstrate without an official permit or despite a court order. Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney told the committee earlier this week such concerns were ridiculous, saying the legislation is not intended to capture minor violations committed during legitimate protests. Roxanne James, Blaney’s parliamentary secretary, used much of her allotted time during the Thursday committee meeting not to ask questions of the witnesses, but to reiterate Blaney’s assurances. There is strong reason to suspect the new powers could — and would — be used against those advocating for clean water, ecosystem protection and an end to climate change, said Joanna Kerr, executive director of Greenpeace Canada. “We are very concerned that the draft legislation appears to target environmental and First Nation climate activists as a threat to security,” she told the MPs. Kerr pointed to the recent leak of an RCMP intelligence assessment, “Criminal Threats to the Canadian Petroleum Industry,” that said those within the movement are willing to go beyond peaceful actions and use “direct action tactics, such as civil disobedience, unlawful protests, break and entry, vandalism and sabotage.” If an aim of the bill is to avoid targeting legitimate dissent, then parliamentarians “have an obligation to write the legislation so it cannot be used in that way,” she added.

Secret military report into soldier’s 2008 suicide blames victim and parents OTTAWA — A previously secret military investigation into the suicide of Cpl. Stuart Langridge blames not only Langridge himself for the tragedy, but also his biological parents, who divorced when he was five. The board of inquiry report released Thursday was written nearly six years ago, a few months after the 28-year-old was found hanged in his Edmonton barracks. National Defence had refused to release the findings to his parents, one of the reasons his mother Sheila and stepfather Shaun Fynes complained to the country’s military police watchdog. They were given a censored version of the report on Wednesday, a day after the Military Police Complaints Commission issued a sharp rebuke about the way the suicide case was handled — and eventually botched — by inexperienced and negligent investigators. The details of the military’s internal investigation outraged the Fynes, who rejected its arguments. “This is an ongoing nightmare,” Sheila Fynes said in a statement. “These gratuitous comments are outside the accepted bounds of humanity, decency and civility.” The censored report had been released to the commission during its exhaustive public inquiry into the handling of Langridge’s death and the family had hoped to see the entire document when they met de-

fence officials. That didn’t happen and large swaths of the report, including conclusions and the remarks of generals, have been removed. Boards of inquiry are technical investigations, usually to see if the military can learn anything from the death of a member, but most of the report into Langridge dealt with his personality issues, including severe drug and alcohol dependency. The 1,434 pages contain little analysis of what the military did to help him, blaming his suicide on the end of his relationship with his common-law spouse and his addictions, which it attributed to the breakup of his parents. The most the report offers is that the young soldier, who did two overseas tours, “was offered numerous treatment options as the health-care team, tried to find an option that suited Cpl. Langridge’s needs.” It also said he was offered “numerous programs to overcome his addictions and depression” but that he “exhibited help-seeking/help-rejecting behaviour.” There was little evaluation of the adequacy of facilities, even though the report acknowledged Langridge had to be sent outside of the military medical system because of a shortage of beds. Instead, the report repeatedly returned to the theme of a broken childhood. “The board found the main source of stress for Cpl. Langridge was his personal relationship with his common-law wife,” said the analysis.

TORONTO — The public should be outraged that Canada is planning to deport a Pakistani man accused of plotting terrorist mayhem in the heart of Toronto rather than prosecute him, his lawyer said Thursday. Sending Jahanzeb Malik back to Pakistan is illogical and counterproductive given the accusation that he is an Islamic State sympathizer who aimed to bomb the financial district and U.S. consulate, lawyer Anser Farooq said. “This is a phenomenally serious allegation and you’re just going to send this guy away?” Farooq told The Canadian Press. “Isn’t that more dangerous? It’s absurd.” Canada Border Services Agency arrested Malik, 33, in Toronto on Monday. The permanent resident, who came to Canada as a student in 2004 and became a permanent resident in 2009, remains in detention pending a hearing on whether he has become inadmissible to Canada and should be removed. Farooq said he had no doubt of the outcome. “The way the system is structured, he’s getting a one-way ticket out of Canada. That’s what’s going to happen. The end result is guaranteed,” Farooq said. “We’ll never know whether the case would have been made out against him in a criminal court.” In fact, Farooq said, the government is sending a message to those who might want to commit terrorist acts in Canada that all they need to do is ensure they aren’t citizens. So far, Canadian authorities have refused to discuss the decision to go the immigration route. However, they have not been shy about branding Malik as a terrorist who planned to build remote-controlled bombs to attack his targets. Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney said Malik was “willing to commit a terrorist attack on Canadian soil.” Justice Minister Peter MacKay refused to weigh in on Thursday, saying he didn’t want to compromise proceedings. He did say “there’s still discussions happening” when asked if a decision to deport Malik had already been made. Lorne Waldman, a defence lawyer who has handled national security cases, said the standard of proof and rules of evidence in immigration proceedings are much lower than in criminal court. “It’s safe to say that if they had enough evidence to charge, they would do so,” Waldman said. “The only reasonable conclusion to draw is that the evidence is not evidence that could be admitted in a criminal trial, and it is not strong enough to meet the higher burden of proof.” Farooq said he had few details about Malik, a married flooring contractor, but said his client approached him for advice about two years ago because agents from the Canadian Security Intelligence Service had been “bothering” him. Those contacts ended, so he “seemed to be OK,” the lawyer said. Malik, who is detained the jail in Lindsay, Ont., is to appear for another detention hearing on Monday. Farooq said there’s little doubt the detention will continue. “He has no support structure, so it’s going to be impossible to get him bail,” the lawyer said. While Canadian authorities have gone the immigration route in other suspected terrorism cases, they have not been shy about prosecuting non-citizens or permanent residents for such offences. One example is the current Via Rail case in which a Tunisian student living in Montreal and a permanent resident of Palestinian descent were accused of plotting to blow up a passenger train. In other cases, they have used a national security certificate to introduce secret evidence as a way to detain or limit the freedom of suspect foreigners.

Oilers battle back against Penguins BUT LOSE ON LATE GOALS TO DROP SIXTH STRAIGHT BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Photo by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Edmonton Oilers’ Derek Roy (8) puts the puck past Pittsburgh Penguins goalie Marc-Andre Fleury (29) for a goal during the third period of an NHL game against the Pittsburgh Penguins in Pittsburgh Thursday. The Penguins won 6-4.

Penguins 6 Oilers 4 PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Penguins spent 21 minutes building a massive lead over the Edmonton Oilers and the next 30 doing their best to give it away. Poor backchecking. Spotty decision-making. The details that have been a hallmark during Pittsburgh’s recent surge vanished. Steve Downie and Patric Hornqvist restored order just in time, scoring just over a minute apart late in the third period to help the Penguins avoid an embarrassing collapse with a 6-4 win on Thursday night. Downie’s 12th goal of the season on a rebound at 14:38 put Pittsburgh back in front after the Penguins let a fourgoal advantage slip away. Hornqvist doubled it 1:06 later with a snap shot from the left circle to help the Penguins win for the seventh time in nine games. “We were lazy,” Hornqvist said. “We were comfortable. We didn’t work hard enough to win. That can’t happen again. Now we’ve learned our lesson. We have to stay with it.” If the Penguins want to stay in the thick of the clustered Metropolitan Division, they don’t really have a choice. Brandon Sutter scored twice for Pittsburgh. Sidney Crosby added his 23rd goal of the season and finished with three points. David Perron netted his 11th since coming to Pittsburgh from Edmonton in Janu-

ary and added an assist. Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 25 shots but Pittsburgh needed an unlikely wake-up call from the Western Conference’s worst team to win. “There are swings in games, but we don’t (want to) allow it to swing that far away and grab it back as quick as you can,” Crosby said. Anton Lander, Jordan Eberle, Benoit Pouliot and Derek Roy scored for the Oilers, who have lost six straight. Yet the blowout that appeared in the offing when Crosby made it 4-0 just 1:01 into the second never materialized. Pittsburgh let the Oilers turn a listless rout into something far more compelling. Roy tied it 4-4 when he batted down a botched clearing attempt and knocked the puck past Fleury 10:04 into the third. “We got better as the game went on,” Edmonton coach Todd Nelson said. “We battled back. We never quit, and against a team like that we can take something away from this game.” Just not a victory. Downie, dropped to the fourth line, reclaimed Pittsburgh’s momentum. He pounded a rebound past Richard Bachman — who came in for ineffective goalie Ben Scrivens early in the second period — to put the Penguins back up. Hornqvist, off an assist from Crosby, gave Pittsburgh the breathing room it needed. It wasn’t quite the homecoming the Penguins expected after retooling at the trade deadline last week. They brought defenceman Love-

joy back into the fold and acquired Ian Cole for some needed depth at the blue line. The results were consecutive wins over Anaheim and Los Angeles followed by a shootout loss to San Jose. Given a rare two-day break upon their return from the West, Pittsburgh’s legs were plenty fresh for the sagging Oilers. Earning just their second win in Pittsburgh since 1993 hardly seemed like an option after the Oilers fell behind 3-0 before 15 minutes elapsed. Sutter gave the Penguins the lead 4:16 in, breaking in alone on Scrivens and deking to his backhand to leave Scrivens badly out of position for his fourth shorthanded goal of the season, tied for the NHL lead. Sutter’s even-strength goal just over five minutes later required far less skill. He flipped in a rebound off Downie’s shot for his first multigoal game since April 6, 2014, against Colorado. Crosby chased down a puck behind the Edmonton net and fed a streaking Perron racing in from the left circle later in the first. By the time Crosby powered in his 23rd goal of the season on the power play 1:01 into the second, the Penguins led 4-0 and Scrivens was done. The Oilers, surprisingly, were not. Lander and Eberle pulled Edmonton within two on a pair of dirty goals around the net as they crashed in on Fleury. When Pouliot flicked a shot over Fleury’s shoulder 4:51 into the third the Oilers were within striking distance.

Cougars punch ticket to provincials with win over Raiders Cougars 65 Raiders 48 Three years of hard work has finally paid off for Ed Major and the Notre Dame Cougars. The Cougars beat arch rival Lindsay Thurber Raiders 65-48 to sweep the best-of-three Central Alberta 4A Zone senior boys basketball championship on Thursday and punch their ticket for provincials next week in Edmonton. “We’ve lost the last two years to Lindsay Thurber and it was nice to get that zone title from them and not so much the other school there,” said Major. Despite the 17-point spread, the game was far from easy for the Cougars. The Raiders got out to an 8-0 lead — in a reversal of Game 1 where the Cougars lead 26-6 after the first quarter — but Notre Dame slowly chipped away at the lead. After the opening 10 minutes, Thurber lead 17-13, but the Cougars kept coming and took a 27-26 lead into the half. In the third quarter, however, Notre Dame overwhelmed their hosts and started to pull away, building a 45-37 advantage. The game was put to bed with about 3:30 to go as Tony Bornyi drilled a three-pointer to put Notre Dame up by 14 points. Bornyi finished with 13

points while point guard Kenneth Veillaluz had a game high 16 for the Cougars. This Cougars team has been building together for a while now, having won a junior zone title last year together before moving up to senior ball this year. But this will be the first provincial tournament for almost all of them. One exception, however, is Grade 12 small forward Dani Gurdian who was a top defender for Notre Dame all season after transferring from Medicine Hat High School during the summer and shut down the Raiders’ Ben Pasiuk in the final. Last year he helped the Mohawks to a bronze medal at provincials, he will be looked to provide some leadership in Edmonton. “It’s definitely a mental game, if you can keep your head you can play to the best of your ability and do great things,” said Gurdian, 17. “When I first moved, I didn’t know anything about the team, and I knew my (old) team was provincial ready. Moving here and playing with this team and making provincials means a lot.” For the Raiders, it was a tough end to their season after beating the Hunting Hills Lightning in the zone semifinal last week, however, head coach Carl Light was quick to praise the team that eliminated them.

Raiders dominate Lightning to sweep zone finals, advance to provincials BY GREG MEACHEM ADVOCATE SPORTS EDITOR Raiders 71 Lightning 34 To suggest that the Lindsay Thurber Raiders captured the central zone 4A senior high girls basketball championship Thursday in impressive fashion would be an understatement. The Raiders put an exclamation point on their zone title by humbling the host Hunting Hills Lightning by a 71-34 score, completing a sweep of the best-of-three final in the process. “We were ready to play tonight,” said Raiders head coach Kathy Lalor.

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

“I know there was some concern that we might look past (the Lightning) tonight, but this group of girls doesn’t do that. We came out strong and played so well in the first half. We played a little cautious in the second half . We didn’t want any injuries. We wanted to take all of our players to provincials.” Lalor was somewhat concerned with her team’s play under the basket in Game 1 of the zone final, a 73-51 Raiders win Tuesday. There was no reason for concern two days later. “We did a little work last night,” said the coach, with a smile. “We’ve boxed out really well sometimes this year,

we just didn’t do a great job of that in the second half the other night. “We kept them to two or three offensive rebounds in the first half tonight. They got a few more in the second half but we had a decent cushion and we were playing a little safe.” Still, the Raiders flexed their offensive muscles, with Elizabeth Morneault netting 18 points and Kelsey Lalor scoring 14. Kiera Fujimoto dropped in 12 points and Jenna Hawkes finished just outside of double figures with nine.

Hard work pays off for Toth

THE ICE THIS WEEK IN REBELS HISTORY

BY GREG MEACHEM ADVOCATE SPORTS EDITOR

Czech winger Martin Erat scored what proved to be the winning goals as Martin Erat the Red Deer Rebels busted the visiting Swift Current Broncos 6-1 on March 10 of 2001. The win was the Rebels’ 16th during a 17-game undefeated stretch that also included a tie. The home team sealed the deal with a three-goal outburst within an 81-second span late in the second period. “That’s pretty nice,” said Erat of the explosive turning point, “We know we can score goals. But we have to play defence and after we can score goals. Every line can score and it’s pretty tough to play against us.” Head coach Brent Sutter said his club, as a means of preparing for the upcoming playoffs, played with intensity and emotion in the win over the Broncos and a 4-0 shutout of the Kootenay Ice the night before. Erat agreed. “When we play against second-place team in our division (Ice) and first-place team in other (East) division, it’s pretty tough. It’s like playoff

WHO’S HOT Brandon Wheat Kings C Tim McGauley has run his points streak to a leaguebest 23 games with Tim a goal and McGauley two assists in Tuesday’s 5-3 win over the visiting Moose Jaw Warriors. The 19-year-old native of Wilcox, Sask., has rung up 50 points (16g,34a) during the stretch dating back to Jan. 16 and is tied for the WHL scoring lead with Trevor Cox of the Medicine Hat Tigers.

When the 2014-15 Western Hockey League season started back in September, Red Deer Rebels rookie Rylan Toth never dreamed that he would one day be recognized as one of the league’s more productive goaltenders. The 18-year-old was more concerned with how he’d adjust to the major junior game, never mind setting his sights on, say, being named the WHL goaltender of the month. But last week, the Rebels first-year stopper was recognized for his work in February when he posted a 4-3-0-1 record over eight appearances along with a 2.46 goals-against average and .922 save percentage. In five of the games he started, Toth held the opposition to two goals or fewer. Heady numbers, considering he didn’t even know if he’d be the club’s No. 1 guy this season. “It’s definitely exciting,” Toth said Thursday, in reference to his earning goalie-ofthe-month accolades. “I wasn’t really expecting it, but the guys (teammates) have played pretty well. “It was a tough month. We were on the road a lot so I knew I’d have to be good. I just tried to be the best I could every night.” The Rylan Toth who started the season as a nervous rookie is a far cry from the more confident and poised Rylan Toth of today. “It’s been a lot of hard work, but, yeah, it’s definitely been a big change,” he said. “I’m playing with a lot more confidence and when you get used to the league you’re not so nervous every game. You know what to expect, I guess. “A big part of that comes from Taylor (Rebels goaltender coach Dakers) helping me out a ton and Brent (GM/head coach Sutter) just believing in me and giving me a lot of chances to play games.” Anxiety follows every rookie, especially a rookie netminder, around for weeks and sometimes months. Toth suffered from the jitters now and then, but no longer. “I’ve pretty much figured out how to deal with the nerves,” he said. “It will definitely be something new when the playoffs roll around, but as far as regular season goes, now that I’m kind of used to the league it’s not something I experience very often.” Toth, who owns a 2.85 GAA, a save percentage of .904 and a 27-16-8 record with one shutout, has clearly taken some large steps forward since the first game of the season.

Red Deer Rebels netminder Rylan Toth saves a Tyson Gruninger shot during WHL action against the Edmonton Oil Kings at the Enmax Centrium earlier this season. Toth wasn’t expected to be the Rebels starter this season but played well in his rookie season and won WHL goaltender of the month for his efforts. Sutter agreed, and in fact gave kudos to both Toth and No. 2 stopper Taz Burman. “Tother has come a long way, but not just him. I think both of our goalies have,” said the Rebels boss. “You might say that it was a question mark to some people at the start of the season as to where our goaltending would be. But we felt we had to develop our goalies. There’s a process with goalies as there is with anybody else. There’s a development procedure and we have to stay the course with it. “To be quite honest, we’ve been happy with our goaltending. When you put two young kids into your lineup, and I know Burms was here last year but never played a whole lot . . . well, they’ve handled it very well. Just as it is with any other young player who comes into the league, it takes time, and maybe moreso with goaltenders.” Burman’s numbers aren’t in the same neighbourhood as his teammate’s, but he’s been on the rise in recent weeks. The 18-year-old second-round pick of the 2012 bantam draft possesses a 3.15 GAA with an .886 save percentage and an 8-5-2 record. Sutter insisted he’s confident in the abilities of both netminders. “Since after Christmas both guys have played well,” he said. “Tother had a good run up to Christmas, then had a little lull

and got it right back after a couple of weeks. “Burms came back after Christmas with a much healthier mindset and has played very well too. Like I said, we’re very comfortable with the two goalies we have moving forward here.” Red Deer product Dawson Weatherill, a 2014 second-round bantam draft pick who this season blocked pucks for the Notre Dame Argos — a team that won just six games this season and finished last in the Saskatchewan Midget AAA League — is at least a year away from suiting up with the Rebels full-time. As a result, Trevor Martin will join Burman and Toth in the battle for two positions next season. Martin, who turned 19 in February, was acquired from the Saskatoon Blades in January and this season has been a standout with the Melville Millionaires during the second half of the SJHL season. Sutter will summon the Ardrossan native, who has a 2.15 GAA and .929 save percentage with Melville, if the Millionaires’ season ends before the Rebels’ season is over. Martin appeared in 19 games with the lowly Blades in the first half of the season and recorded a 4.16 GAA and .886 save percentage while posting a 3-102 slate. But Sutter liked what he saw of the former Sherwood Park midget AAA standout

when he turned aside 30 shots in his lone Rebels start — a 4-3 win at Saskatoon Feb. 18. “He came in and played extremely well for us that night,” said Sutter. “That’s why we acquired him — because he can make a push to play here next season. Between Trevor and the two guys here now, two of them are going to play here next year. So it will be a good competition.” The Rebels host the Calgary Hitmen tonight and welcome the Kootenay Ice to the Centrium Saturday. “They’re both huge games. We kind of control our own fate right now,” said Toth, in reference to the fact third-place Red Deer trails both the Central Division co-leading Hitmen and Medicine Hat Tigers by three points. “If we can win out, well, that’s all we can control. I think we have a good chance of finishing second or even first in our division, so that’s really exciting. Calgary has a really good team and you can’t underestimate Kootenay either.” ● Colton Bobyk is no longer on the injury list on the WHL website, but Sutter said the Rebels defenceman is still dayto-day, along with forward Conner Bleackley. Winger Austin Adamson is week-to-week with a lower body injury. gmeachem@reddeeradvocate. com

Hamilton is pinning his hopes on this spring being different that the last two. “Certainly you want to make sure you’re still playing in May,” he said. “The last two years have been a little frustrating, so hopefully this year will be different. You need to have a little good fortune along the way and stay healthy, so we’ll see what happens.” ● The Portland Winterhawks, who struggled mightily earlier in the season as they adjusted to life without the likes of forwards Brendan Leipsic and Taylor Leier and more importantly, rearguards Derrick Pouliot, Matt Dumba and Garrett Haar, proved Wednesday that, as Nick Patterson of the Everett Herald

noted, the U.S. Division is still theirs to lose. The ‘Hawks invaded Xfinity Arena and pasted the host Everett Silvertips 6-1, reducing the ‘Tips’ division lead over Portland to two points. The Winterhawks, who still boast plenty of offensive starpower with forwards Nic Petan, Oliver Bjorkstrand, Chase De Leo and Paul Bittner, also have two games in hand on Everett, a fact not lost on Silvertips head coach Kevin Constantine. “For the first time this year the ball is out of our hands,” Constantine told Patterson. “Now Portland controls its destiny and we need other teams to win. It certainly wasn’t a lack of a team that wanted to do well. This was very important to our players. I just though it looked like they had a better ability to play in a big-game environment, probably based on the fact that’s where they’ve been the past five years.” gmeachem@reddeeradvocate. com

Queens hold court at nationals WIN TOUGH OPENING GAME AGAINST HOSTS AT CCAA VOLLEYBALL CHAMPIONSHIPS BY DANNY RODE SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE

RED DEER COLLEGE ATHLETICS

Queens 3 Lynx 1 LONGUEUIL, Que. – It’s never easy playing the first game of any national championship and it’s even tougher when you’re facing the home team. The RDC Queens knew that heading into their opening game of the Canadian Colleges Athletic Association women’s volleyball championships against the Lynx d’Edouard-Montpetit Thursday. What they didn’t expect was facing a team that had more size than anyone the RDC squad faced this season. The Lynx used their strength at the net and the energy from a boisterous crowd to win the opening set 25-13. “We didn’t expect that at all,” said Queens middle blocker Megan Schmidt. “They’re an eighth place team but we should know there are no easy teams here and their fans really helped them along.” But the Queens showed why they’re the No. 1 ranked team in the country as they settled down in the second set and went on to win 25-19, 25-17, 25-17 to advance to today’s semifinal against a familiar foe in the Grande Prairie Wolves. “They (Lynx) were a super physical team,” said Queens head coach Tal-

bot Walton. “They were much bigger than we would have guessed. From watching video we expected them to be around five-foot-10, but they had six-footers all over the place who were pretty athletic. They were physical and blocked well. “They also got a lot of emotion from the crowd. That’s one of the things we talked about, but you have to live it. We lived it in that first set, but came out strong in the second.” Setter Bronwyn Hawkes started on the service line in the second set and the Queens jumped into a 6-0 lead, which they never relinquished. “That helped us as we knew we could contend,” said Schmidt, who was named the RDC player of the match. “We were a bit surprised we didn’t come back in that first set, but we also knew we were better than we were in that set. “We had some nerves for sure, but once we got comfortable we settled down.” “When Bronwyn served and we got out to the lead in the second set, that helped us settle down,” added Walton, whose squad also picked up their pace on defence, led by outstanding libero Maddi Quinn. “Maddi made a lot of big plays,” agreed Walton. “Our team boils down

to the ability of Maddi touching the ball and Bronwyn setting. When those two have good games and are making contact we have the opportunity to swing and score.” With Quinn picking up everything and Hawkes able to run the offence the Queens outside hitters of Miranda Dawe, Leah Koot and Kelsey Tymkow were able to find a number of seams. As well the middles of Schmidt and Alex Donaghy did their share. “Once we started putting the ball in play and we knew we could trust our defence we were able to rely on our hitters, who were able to find those seams,” said Schmidt. “As well Bronwyn was able to use us in the middle which opened things up as well.” Dawe led the Queens with 14 kills and four digs while Schmidt had nine kills, a block and an ace and Koot eight kills. Donaghy had six kills, three blocks and three digs while Tymkow had seven kills and nine digs and Quinn 14 digs. Hawkes had 26 assists. Six-foot middle Adryanna Dorismond-Rodrique had 11 kills for the Lynx. One area the Queens definitely won was the ability to keep their serves in play. The Queens missed four serves while the Lynx missed 12.

“Our game is built on the ability to keep it in play,” said Walton. “Not that we want to lollypop it over, but we know that every time we serve the ball in we have a 50-50 chance to win the point on defence. When we miss serves we have to work twice as hard to adapt.” Grande Prairie advanced with a 2522, 25-18, 24-26, 25-23 win over Camosun Chargers of Victoria. It will be the fourth time the Queens and Wolves have met in championship games over the last two seasons. The Queens defeated the Wolves in the ACAC finals last year and this year and also in the national final last year. “It’s always in the back of your mind that they will be that much better this time, but we also know we can beat them … then again we’ll have to play better than we did today,” said Walton. “We do know them and should be comfortable, but we have to play our game and our best volleyball,” said Schmidt. On the other side, second-seeded Vancouver Island University of Nanaimo downed the Mount St. Vincent Mystics of Halifax 25-20, 25-19, 2523 and the FX Garneau Elans got past the Humber Hawks of Toronto 25-23, 23-25, 253-25, 25-21, 15-8. The Queens play tonight at 6 p.m. Danny Rode is a retired Advocate reporter, who can be reached at drode@reddeeradvocate.com. His work can also be seen at www.rdc.ab.ca/athleticsblog.

Kings start off nationals with win over St. Clair Saints

Kings 3 Saints 1 CHARLOTTETOWN, P.E.I. — Luke Brisbane backed up his selection as the best men’s college volleyball player in Canada in his very first opportunity. The Australian setter led the No. 4 Red Deer College Kings to a 3-1 (25-20, 25-22, 20-25, 25-11) win over the No. 5 St. Clair Saints on the opening day of the Canadian Colleges Athletic Association Men’s Volleyball Championship on Thursday. “It’s incredible, I do not remember the last time a first year player was named player of the year,” said RDC head coach Aaron Schulha. “Luke’s a pretty even keel kind of kid, it’s obviously a pretty prestigious honour, but I don’t think it will change how he is He wants to continue to improve and that will give him more motivation to get better. “Pretty incredible first year for Luke, he’s more motivated for the team prize at the end if we can look after it.”

BOYS: Deserve to win “I respect coach Ed Major and what he’s done with those boys, they deserve to win and they will represent our zone well at provincials,” he said. For Thurber, they were just outgunned in the final. In Game 1 they were unable to slow the Cougars early, digging themselves a big hole and in Thursday’s match they had no answer for Notre Dame when they got rolling in the third quarter. TK Kunaka and Pasiuk led the Raiders with 10 points each while Ben Holmes added seven more. Light says they will learn from this experience and come back with a strong team next season. “These Raiders never quit, they play hard, buy into our systems and they are an easy group to coach,” said Light. Jasper Place High School in Edmonton is hosting the 4A provincials this year with the tournament getting underway on Thursday next week and running through Saturday. The draw has not been set yet, though regardless of who they play Major says the key is to start fast. “The Central Zone, that first game seems to be a struggle every year for us, we compete but we just can’t get over the top,” he said. “so who ever that first game is, we’re really just going to put it all on the line in that game and see what happens.” jaldrich@reddeeradvocate.com

GIRLS: Everyone scoring “Everyone was scoring tonight,” said Kathy Lalor. “Our posts were scoring, our wings were scoring. We didn’t shoot as many threes tonight, but we got a lot more drive to the net. It was fun.”

The Raiders qualified for the provincials last year but Lalor said the speed of her current crew is superior to the 2013-14 edition as well as some of her earlier teams. “We’re definitely a lot faster this year than we have been for awhile,” said the coach. “We have lots of girls who like to run. “There were years where we’ve had a couple of girls who like to run, but we have a lot of kids who play that way this season. We didn’t score from the outside tonight but we do have a pretty good outside game and we drive well to the hoop too. “But the best and strongest part of our team is our defence. They (Lightning) tried to drive on us tonight and we played great outside defence. I’m hoping that will be a plus when we get to provincials.” The Raiders will head north next week to compete in the Alberta 4A provincial championship tournament Thursday to Sunday at Edmonton Jasper Place. “We haven’t seen too many teams this year,” said Lalor. “We were at some good tournaments earlier in the season, but down the stretch when we’ve been playing better we haven’t played a lot of really good teams. But we have nothing to lose now.” Lightning coach Jill de Jonge got seven points from Gabby Spenst and six from each of Kelsey Kolenski — who hit for a pair of threes — and Drew McKinlay. “We did not shoot well tonight, but I saw some good things from my younger players and my older players as well,” said de Jonge. “They (Raiders) were the better team tonight for sure. They should do well (at provincials).” gmeachem@reddeeradvocate.com

sun College Chargers out of Victoria, B.C., after a day of upsets. The No. 2 University of Alberta-Augustana Vikings lost 3-0 (25-23, 25-18, 25-22) to the No. 7 Titans de Limoilou after the Vikings top player — Luke Ryan — was injured in warm up. The No. 6 St. Thomas Tommies out of the Atlantic Colleges Athletic Association then beat Ontario champion and No. 3 seeded Niagara College Knights 3-1 (20-25, 25-22, 26-24, 25-23). The Chargers, however, did not continue the trend after being a surprise champion in B.C., they cruised past the No. 8 host Holland Hurricanes 3-0 (25-10, 2515, 25-22). “It really is anyone’s tournament and if you don’t look after each match in succession — you can’t start thinking too far ahead — the results won’t be in your favour,” said Schulha. The semifinal starts at 5 p.m. MST and the winner advances to Saturday’s gold medal game at 5 p.m. The loser will play at 9 a.m. on Saturday in the bronze medal semifinal. jaldrich@reddeeradvocate.com

Brisbane finished the night with 33 assists, eight digs, three blocks and two block assists to go with three kills. Kings captain Tim Finnigan, who starred on last year’s national championship team as an all-Canadian had a game high 14 kills while Nic Dubinsky had 11 kills and seven digs. RDC played well through the first two sets, but seemingly lost focus at the beginning of the third set, digging five-point hole early that they were unable to dig out of. However, they played well towards the end of the set to build some momentum that carried into the fourth and then dismantled the Ontario silver medallists. “The quarter-final is always a tough one, it’s your first match in a facility, you can practice all you want ... but it’s a whole different animal when you’re in there with the pressure and a quality team against you,” said Schulha. “To work out some of those first game nerves and to get used to the facility and do all of those things is really important. The execution in the fourth set should really bode well for us moving into tomorrow.” Key to the win was minimizing the impact of Ontario Colleges Athletic Association player of the year Jason Hernandez who had just 11 kills and six digs. RDC now prepares to face the Pacific Western Athletic Association champion and No. 1 seed Camo-

Taking a similar path to the big leagues BLUE JAYS’ POMPEY SEES YOUNGER BROTHER ON SIMILAR PATHS TO THE MAJOR LEAGUES and made it to the big leagues, you have the chance to not only discuss it with him but to know his journey firsthand and be able to relate to it,” Hamilton said. “It gives you some perspective and allows you to not only dream but have a sense that it’s doable, it’s within your reach, your grasp, your potential. That’s immensely important in building your confidence.” Hamilton, who also coached Dalton during his stint with the junior team, sees similarities in the brothers’ playing styles. They’re both physically imposing — Dalton was six-foot-one, 170 pounds five years ago while Tristan is six-footfour and 195 pounds — and they’re both what Hamilton called “relative late bloomers,” not putting their skills together until their senior year of high school, which Tristan is in now. Dalton was drafted in the 16th round in 2010. Tristan, who’s ranked sixth among Canadians heading into this June’s selection process, could go higher. After sharing his brother’s draft experience five years ago — the two were playing video games together when Dalton’s name was called — Tristan knows what to expect. “I don’t think I’ll be as nervous as Photo by THE CANADIAN PRESS some other guys,” he said. “But I’m tryToronto Blue Jays left-fielder Dalton Pompey fouls off a pitch against the ing not to think about it too much yet.

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Tristan Pompey doesn’t mind when people refer to him as “Dalton’s little brother.” The way he sees it, that epithet might be temporary anyway. “My end goal is to have people call Dalton ’Tristan’s older brother,”’ the younger Pompey said with a laugh. While Dalton Pompey tries to capture the Blue Jays starting centre-fielder job at spring training in Dunedin, Fla., Tristan will be forging his own path as an outfielder with the junior national team, which trains just down the road in St. Petersburg. The Mississauga, Ont., siblings may even get to play each other this Sunday when Toronto hosts the young Canadians at Florida Auto Exchange Stadium. With an age difference of over four years between them, Dalton, 22, and Tristan, who’ll turn 18 this month, have never even played a scrimmage on the same field before. But that doesn’t mean they haven’t thought about it. “You know how you’ll see outfielders meet up in centre before a game? I’ve always pictured me and Dalton doing that on a big-league field,” Tristan said. “It won’t be exactly like that since I’m not in the majors, but it’s the next best thing because I’m on my way there and he’s already there. “Dalton’s excited, too. We’ve talked about it for the past few months. He says he’s going to play in on me, force me to hit it over his head.” Tristan watched his older brother rise through the ranks of the minor leagues last season, starting in high-A and ending in Toronto as a September call-up. He travelled to Minnesota’s Target Field with his parents, Ken and Val, to see Dalton play in the Futures Game in July, and two months later, watched from the Rogers Centre stands as Dalton’s dreams became reality. “I was so happy to see him make it to the big leagues,” Tristan said. “It was amazing.” It also helped improve Tristan as a player. The brothers spoke regularly during Dalton’s meteoric rise, with the older Pompey giving the younger tips he could implement into his own swing and mechanics. Greg Hamilton, Baseball Canada’s director of national teams and head coach of the junior squad, says Dalton’s success has impacted Tristan beyond that. “When your brother has walked the same path as you, overcome the same developmental challenges and hurdles

Davis takes early lead at Innisbrook PGA TOUR BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PALM HARBOR, Fla. — Brian Davis takes pride in his short game, which saved him from a rough finish Thursday and gave him the lead in the Valspar Championship. Coming off back-to-back bogeys, Davis chipped in from 25 feet on the ninth green at Innisbrook for a 6-under 65, giving him a one-shot lead over past champion Sean O’Hair and Ricky Barnes after the opening round. For the 40-year-old Davis, it was the perfect finish to go with what had been an ideal start. Starting on the back nine of the Copperhead course, he missed three birdie chances inside 15 feet and still went out in 30. There wasn’t a hint of trouble until a threeputt from 45 feet on No. 7 and a poor chip at the par-3 eighth that led to bogey. And right when he thought he had hit a good approach on No. 9, he heard nothing. “I expected a clap and nobody clapped,” he said. His chip came out with more overspin because of the grain in the grass and might have gone about 6 feet by the hole except that it struck the pin. “Delighted,” the Englishman said. O’Hair got even more evidence that his game is turning around by making eight birdies in the morning for a 66. Barnes, playing in the afternoon, was tied for the lead until he three-putted the par-3 17th from 35 feet and missed a 12-foot birdie putt on the last hole. Henrik Stenson, at No. 3 the highestranked player in the field, made his debut at Innisbrook by dressing in the same colours as the volunteers, though it wasn’t intentional, and none of the volunteers had matching pants to go with his periwinkle shirt. He didn’t like the swing he had on

the range, though he hit enough good iron shots early on to get by. Stenson hit wedge into the par-4 ninth for a final birdie and a bogey-free 67. He was in a group that included Justin Thomas and Puerto Rico Open winner Alex Cejka. Thomas opened with nine straight pars, a bogey on the par-5 first hole, and then five birdies. Stenson played with Adam Scott, who made four straight bogeys on his back nine that ruined a good round. He had a birdie on the final hole for a 71. Also in the group was Jordan Spieth, slowed by a double bogey in his round of 70. “Fell asleep out there for about 30 minutes,” Scott said. The Copperhead course didn’t have a lot of bite with its green, soft conditions. Thomas was among those who had mud on the golf ball, which led to his bogey at No. 1. It still was the sturdy test that makes it so popular. Even without much wind and a mostly overcast sky, the course average was about 71.4 “The golf course was there — no wind and fairly soft — so you have to try to make your score today if you could,” Davis said. It wasn’t there for John Daly. He opened with a double bogey when he three-putted from 5 feet. He later four-putted for triple bogey on the 14th hole. A birdie on the final hole gave him an 81, but there was a sliver of good news at the end of his long day. He wasn’t selected for drug testing. “No, that’s tomorrow,” said Daly, with a grin. He said on his SiriusXM radio show Tuesday that night the PGA Tour didn’t have random testing because he has been picked at Innisbrook the last six years. O’Hair won at Innisbrook in 2008, though he has fallen on lean times. He

Jones aims to make Canadian curling history at women’s worlds BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Jennifer Jones didn’t let up after winning her first Olympic women’s curling title last year in Sochi. She has been in peak form throughout the current campaign and recently added her fifth career Scotties Tournament of Hearts title to her stacked resume. Next up for Jones and her Winnipeg teammates: a shot at Canadian curling history. Jones has a chance to become the first reigning Olympic champion to win Canadian and world championships the following season. She’ll go for the rare trifecta at the world women’s curling championship, which kick off Saturday in Sapporo, Japan. “I haven’t really thought of that, but I just honestly pinch myself,” Jones said in a recent interview. “I can’t believe all of the success that we’ve had. We worked so hard and to have it all come to fruition, it’s just unbelievable. “To have the honour to represent Canada at the world championship is just truly special and we’re so honoured.” Jones and her team of lead Dawn McEwen, second Jill Officer and third Kaitlyn Lawes did not compete at last year’s national playdowns as they overlapped with the Winter Olympics. Ottawa’s Rachel Homan won the 2014 Scotties and then took silver at the world championship after losing to Switzerland’s Binia Feltscher in the final. A Canadian team hasn’t won gold at the women’s worlds since Jones took the 2008 title with Cathy Overton-Clapham at third. Lawes replaced Overton-Clapham in 2010. The late Sandra Schmirler was the only other Canadian women’s skip to hold all three titles at the same time. She won national and world championships in 1997 before winning Olympic gold at the Nagano Games the following year. Jones will have some stiff competition at the 12-team event at the 3,371-seat Tsukisamu Gymnasium.

Russian veteran Anna Sidorova is back and Sweden will again be skipped by four-time world silver medallist Margaretha Sigfridsson. Eve Muirhead, who beat Homan en route to a world title in 2013, will lead the Scotland entry. Alina Paetz will handle skipping duties for Switzerland this year. She won a world championship as Mirjam Ott’s alternate in 2012. “It’s a tremendous field with so many of the teams from the Olympics,” Jones said. “So we’re expecting it to be very tough and we know that we’re going to have to play our very best in order to make it to the playoffs. “It’s similar to the Scotties, where you know that you’re going to have to play your best. We have so much respect for the teams. At the end of the day, we just want to go out there and do our best and hopefully that’s good enough.” Denmark skip Lene Nielsen will be making her sixth career world championship appearance. Kristin Moen Skaslien will represent Norway for the fifth time at this event but first as skip. Japan received an automatic entry as the host country. Other teams in the field include the United States, Finland, China and Germany. A round-robin format will be used with the top four teams moving on to the Page Playoffs. The final is set for March 22. Jones won a world silver in 2010. She made her world championship debut in 2005 but didn’t make the podium that year. “We’ve learned and grown so much (since then),” Jones said. “We have a lot more experience but we’ve also worked so much harder on our game and we know what to expect. I feel like we’re a lot more consistent than we were back then. “We have just evolved as a team in pretty much every aspect of the game.” Jones has won five events this season and holds the top spot on the Canadian Team Ranking System list.

Lightweight champion Pettis makes quick return to cage vs Dos Anjos BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

UFC 185

Anthony Pettis already has a UFC championship belt and his face on a Wheaties box. He still wants to be the biggest name in mixed martial arts, and he knows he must stay busy to do it. Just three months after Pettis ended a lengthy injury absence with his first lightweight title defence, the stylish fighter known as “Showtime” is back in the cage at UFC 185 in Dallas on Saturday against top contender Rafael Dos Anjos. Many champions of the so-called combat sports prefer long recuperative breaks between fights. Pettis (18-2) intends to have a big, busy 2015 after injuries slowed his career right when it was taking off. “The pressure is on, man,” Pettis said. “When you have all of these people supporting you, you better perform. I love it. I embrace that role, and that’s what I want. I want people to want to watch me fight, to pay for the pay-per-views, buy the tickets to come watch me fight. It’s my job to make sure they’re happy when they leave.” A solid pay-per-view card at American Airlines Center also features UFC strawweight champion Carla Esparza’s first defence against Joanna Jedrzejczyk. Former welterweight champion Johny Hendricks, who lives in the Dallas area, returns to the cage against Matt Brown after a bout between heavyweights Alistair Overeem and Roy Nelson. Pettis’ brother, Sergio, also has a flyweight bout on the early undercard. Pettis used part of his winnings

from his victory over Gilbert Melendez last December to buy a house and a car for his mother, but the 28-year-old from Milwaukee otherwise stayed focused on a quick return from that dynamic second-round submission victory. “I just went from camp to camp,” Pettis said. “Took a couple of weeks off, got right back in the gym. ... Now this is time to perform. I want four fights this year, from December to December.” He didn’t take an easy bout, either. Dos Anjos (23-7), a Brazilian based in Southern California, has revitalized his career with eight wins in his last nine fights after a .500 start to his UFC tenure. Dos Anjos stopped former UFC champion Benson Henderson last August and added a decision win over Nate Diaz in December, but Pettis sees little that will slow his roll to the top of the sport. “There’s a lot of good fighters in the lightweight division, but I’m a great fighter,” Pettis said. “I just have this willpower and this confidence when I go in there.” Esparza (11-2) faces a difficult task in the first defence of the title she won in the UFC’s newest weight class during the promotion’s long-running reality show. Jedrzejczyk (8-0), who didn’t compete on “The Ultimate Fighter,” is a six-time world champion in muay thai who hasn’t lost an MMA fight. But Esparza’s seasoned wrestling skills were too much for every competitor on television, and she seems unconcerned by the five-inch height advantage of the likable Jedrzejczyk, a star back home in Poland.

Isles lock up Boychuck for seven years THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Johnny Boychuk and the New York Islanders have agreed on a long-term contract extension that assures that two of the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top defencemen will stick together well after the team locates to Brooklyn next season. Boychuk received a seven-year deal Thursday, as Nick Leddy did late last month. Boychukâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contract is worth $42 million, slightly higher than Leddyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deal for $38.5 million. Both players were acquired by the Islanders in trades Oct. 4, just before this season. Boychuk came from Boston, and Leddy from Chicago. This deal keeps the 31-year-old Boychuk from becoming an unrestricted free agent this summer and under contract through the 2021-22 season. Leddy, 23, could have been a restricted free agent. Boychukâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s salary-cap charge will rise from this seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $3.367 million to $6 million in each year of the deal. Boychuk was acquired from Boston for a second-round pick in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s draft and a second-round choice in next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s draft. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The organization has been incredible to both myself and my family,â&#x20AC;? Boychuk said in a statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am proud to be an Islander and look forward to competing every night in front of such a passionate fan base for many years to come.â&#x20AC;? Boychuk leads Islanders defencemen with 32 points, 25 assists and a plus-17 rating in 59 games. He has established career highs in goals, assists and points in his ninth season in the NHL. He will earn $7.5 million next season, $7 million in each of the following two seasons, $6.5 million in the 2018-19 campaign, $6 million the next season, and $4 million in both of the final two years of the deal for a $42 million total. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Johnnyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s influence in our dressing room, both on and off the ice, has been immeasurable,â&#x20AC;? Islanders general manager Garth Snow said in a statement announcing the deal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His veteran presence is an asset that we are thrilled to help lead our club.â&#x20AC;?

Running backs get the payday BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NFL FREE AGENCY

Look whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s running to paydirt: DeMarco Murray, Justin Forsett and Ryan Mathews. Running backs took their place at the head of the free agency class Thursday, the third day of the NFLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business year. Two of them, 2014 Offensive Player of the Year Murray, the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading rusher, and Mathews wound up in Philadelphia. Forsett is staying right where he made his breakthrough last season, in Baltimore. Murray, 27, helped the Cowboys win the NFC East while rushing for a franchise-record 1,845 yards, breaking NFL career rushing leader Emmitt Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team mark. He also set a league record with eight straight 100-yard games to start the season. The contract is for five years and $42 million, with $21 million guaranteed. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll combine with Mathews to replace two-time All-Pro LeSean McCoy, the NFLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rushing leader in 2013 who was dealt to Buffalo by coach Chip Kelly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have great appreciation for his skills, and if there was no salary cap in place, DeMarco would be a Cowboy,â&#x20AC;? Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said in a statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This came down to an allocation of dollars within the management of the salary cap.â&#x20AC;? Cowboys star receiver Dez Bryant tweeted: â&#x20AC;&#x153;bDeMarcoMurray I wish you would have stayed but I understand your decision... Congrats bro you deserve it -â&#x20AC;? Kelly has been among the busiest barterers in rebuilding the Eagles, also dealing starting quarterback Nick Foles to St. Louis for quarterback Sam Bradford; getting linebacker Kiko Alonso from Buffalo for McCoy; signing cornerbacks Byron Maxwell and Walter Thurmond III; and releasing offensive lineman Todd Herremans, cornerback Cary Williams, linebacker Trent Cole and tight end James Casey. Mathews, 27, leaves San Diego after an injury-plagued five seasons. A first-round

draft pick in 2010, he played in all 16 regular-season games only in 2013, his best season with 1,255 yards rushing and seven total touchdowns. Forsett, 29, agreed to a three-year contract with the Ravens. He comes off the finest season of his seven-year career, replacing Ray Rice and rushing 1,266 yards and eight touchdowns. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes you have fortunate signings in this business and Justin was one of those,â&#x20AC;? Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were fortunate because he became such a vital part of our on-field success and quickly became a steadying influence in the locker room at an uneasy time for us. He gave us more than we anticipated. From what we expected, he gave us unprecedented production.â&#x20AC;? Two-time Super Bowl champion cornerback Brandon Browner heads to New Orleans for a three-year deal worth about $18 million. Browner won a ring with Seattle in 2013, then with New England last season. The Patriots lost their other starting cornerback, Darrelle Revis, to the Jets in free agency. New York also brought back another previous fixture in its secondary, Antonio Cromartie, to team with Revis on the corners. Cromartie, 30, gets a four-year contract worth $32 million in base salary. Revis came back on a five-year, $70 million contract. The Jets also re-signed guard Willie Colon to a one-year deal Thursday, and brought back long snapper Tanner Purdum on a two-year contract. Another defensive back on the move is safety Nate Allen, from Philadelphia to Oakland on a four-year contract. The Raiders have won just 11 games the past three

seasons and have gone 11 straight years without a playoff berth or winning record. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great thing and like Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been saying, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re planning on winning now,â&#x20AC;? the optimistic Allen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not trying to rebuild and try to do this or do that, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to make something happen now, this year.â&#x20AC;? After adding Frank Gore in free agency earlier in the week, Indianapolis cut Trent Richardson, the third overall pick by Cleveland in 2012 who came to the Colts in a huge trade last year. Richardson never made an impact in Indy. Kansas City released unproductive receiver Dwayne Bowe and saved $14 million against the salary cap. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was a tough decision to make,â&#x20AC;? said John Dorsey, whose signing of Bowe to a $56 million, five-year deal was one of his first major moves as general manager. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dwayne is a team-first guy and he holds a number of team receiving records.â&#x20AC;? On Wednesday, the Chiefs wrapped up a $55 million, five-year deal with Jeremy Maclin, who was drafted by Chiefs coach Andy Reid in Philadelphia. Another receiver took a hit when Stevie Johnson was released by the 49ers. Also Thursday: â&#x2014;? Former Pro Bowl tight end Jordan Cameron signed a two-year contract with Miami, giving the Dolphinsa possible replacement for Charles Clay. The Dolphins gave Clay a transition tag last week, but he has since been courted by Buffalo. Cameron missed five games last year with the Cleveland Browns because of a concussion, his third in three seasons. He made the Pro Bowl in 2013, when he had 80 catches for 917 yards and seven touchdowns. â&#x2014;? Three quarterbacks got contracts. Tyrod Taylor moved from Baltimore to Buffalo for a two-year deal; Blaine Gabbert reupped with San Francisco for two seasons; and Thad Lewis took a one-year contract to return to Cleveland.

Marathon broadens reach WOODY’S ADDS TO EVENTS TO PROMOTE HEALTHY LIFESTYLE FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF Run a course designed for people, not for cars. That’s what race organizers like to say about Red Deer’s largest and most popular running event: the Woody’s RV World Marathon, Half Marathon. The scenic course starts on 55th Street in the Waskasoo neighbourhood before entering Red Deer’s trail system, running along the Red Deer River, and back to 42A Avenue and the finish line. Toni-Lee Johnstone, race promotions co-ordinator, said the 17th edi-

tion of the Woody’s RV World Marathon, Half Marathon (and 10-km race) will be like no other. “Our race is made for runners,” said Johnstone. “It’s a gorgeous course. We are passionate about Red Deer and showing the beauty of the trails in Red Deer.” And there are changes afoot for the race slated for May 17. New this year is a 1.2-km race for children between ages of four and 12, and a two-person marathon relay. Johnstone said organizers wanted to promote healthy lifestyles for the whole family by pulling the children from the sidelines and into the race. A running plan that encourages the

young runners to run 40 km before race day is on the race website. Organizers have also flipped the script on the night-before pasta dinner and replaced it with a Woody’s Egger breakfast for all runners. “We are focusing on the runners at the race,” she said. “We really want to make it the best run and the best experience for people coming.” Runners will also have the option to run along with a pace bunny for the first time. The two-person relay for the marathon is divided into two 21.1-km legs. Register before March 17 and runners will be automatically entered in the contest to win an all-inclusive trip

for two to Canmore. It includes entry into the Canmore Half Marathon and a two-night stay at the Rocky Mountain Ski Lodge and more. There are also prizes for two other lucky runners. The sports expo will also move to the race, in addition to events held at the Black Knight Inn on the Friday and Saturday before the race this year. Register before April 17 to receive a personalized race bib.

Crime map gets another look Red Deer city council will debate the concept of crime mapping on Monday. Coun. Buck Buchanan’s motion to work with the Central Alberta Crime Prevention Centre and the RCMP to explore crime mapping will finally see the light of day. His motion previously died on the

floor because there was no seconder. The motion calls on the city to collaborate with the RCMP and the Central Alberta Crime Prevention Centre on a map that would pinpoint criminal activity in the city. City administration supports the concept but believes it must be considered as part of the overall safety char-

ter and as part of the new Community Safety Ad Hoc Committee’s initiatives. As well, city staff asks council to consider what priority a crime map should have and how it fits with the overall safety strategy. Council will also look at a alcohol and drug strategy, and a fees and charges reports.

Stolen vehicle followed, trio facing several charges

ning several red lights. The patrol car did not continue the pursuit out of concerns for public safety. A Priority Crimes Task Force officer was nearby in an unmarked police vehicle and tracked the vehicle at a distance. As it continued onto Hwy 2A, Blackfalds RCMP and Lacombe Police Service set up a roadblock at the north end of C&E Trail preparing to lay a tire deflation device. When police again activated their

emergency lights, the vehicle attempted to evade the roadblock by ramming a Lacombe Police vehicle. At that point, the vehicle drove into a ditch and got stuck in the snow. Three suspects were arrested without incident. Police searched the vehicle and found a quantity of crystal meth, a fake handgun and several items of stolen property. Two Red Deer men aged 21 and a 17-year-old Red Deer girl will faces charges related to the events.

Three people are facing charges after fleeing from police and ramming a patrol car before getting stuck in a ditch on Hwy 2A on Wednesday. Police say a patrol car noticed an SUV with a stolen licence plate driving north on Gaetz Avenue in Red Deer around 6:30 p.m. The vehicle did not stop when police activated emergency lights, continuing northbound and run-

A major housing and golf course development overlooking the Red Deer River near Joffre is hitting all of the regulatory fairways so far. Lacombe County council approved second reading of a rezoning bylaw on Thursday keeping the ball rolling on the Deer River project being developed by the Winnipeg-based Canadian Conference of Mennonite Brethren. The Mennonites own the 937 acres on a scenic slope on the east side of the river a few kilometres south of Joffre. Ryan Vold, who was a lead developer at the Wolf Creek Golf Resort and its surrounding housing development, has been acting as a consultant on the project to build an 18-hole golf course and as many as 521 homes in full buildout at the terraced site. Dale Freitag, the county’s manager of planning services, said the next step is to work out a development agreement with the proponents, which will address issues such as transportation, sewage and water infrastructure requirements. A public hearing on the bylaw was held last month and drew about two dozen people. Among concerns raised was the impact on a local aquifer and roads by such a large-scale development. Freitag said water availability, sewage treatment and road upgrades must all be addressed through the development agreement, which must be signed off by the county and is a standard requirement with large developments. Transportation issues are likely to require more discussion as the project begins to build out in coming years. As the number of homes increases, Alberta Transportation has made it known it wants to see traffic circles at two access points to the development on Hwy 11. Both the developers and the county are opposed to traffic circles, although other road upgrades are supported. Freitag told council a development agreement could be ready in May and following that, council will deal with third and final reading of the rezoning bylaw. The project will be built in phases, with the golf course and first 50 lots in the initial phase. Site work could begin as early as this year. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

Pony chuckwagon tarp auction on Wednesday

A woman charged with attempted murder in a stabbing attack at the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre was in court on Thursday facing charges from other incidents. In Red Deer provincial court, Crown prosecutor Carolyn Ayre said she is seeking to revoke the bail previously granted to Meghan Claire Dion, 34, of Red Deer. She was previously released from custody on charges including assaulting a police officer, resisting arrest, possession of stolen property over $5,000 and failing to comply with an undertaking. These charges were laid before the March 6 incident, where a person was stabbed at the hospital. Dion is in the process of obtaining legal counsel and Judge Bert Skinner allowed the charges to move to March 18, to follow the other charges Dion faces. Those charges include attempted murder, assault, driving while unauthorized and three counts of possession of stolen property under $5,000.

Family activities on weekend at nature centre Children who want to see a live critter, check out the spring sky or build a birdhouse will get those opportunities this weekend. The Kerry Wood Nature Centre is hosting three family-oriented events.

Bentley’s volunteer fire department is adding ice rescue to its skill set. Lacombe County council approved a request on Thursday to expand the department’s level of service. Council had already set aside $4,750 for an ice rescue boat and $5,100 for equipment in anticipation of the change. Bentley Fire Chief Todd Gustafson told council in a letter that the popularity of ice fishing and other winter lake sports and a growing population means the chance of something going wrong is also increasing. On a nice winter’s day, there can be hundreds of ice fishing huts, snowmobiles and other vehicles on Gull Lake. Currently, the department is only qualified to undertake rescue operations from the lakeshore and is not officially qualified to venture onto lake ice. “While the ice is considered ‘safe’ by residents for most of the season, there is enormous potential for the need of an ice rescue in fall and spring, as well as at any time of the year in areas of freshwater springs or other ice-weakening situations,” Gustafson told council. The department has already purchased life preservers, cold water rescue suits and other tools that can be used for ice rescue.

Counterfeit American bills being circulated Red Deer RCMP are warning residents of fake U.S. bills circulating in the city. Police have recently received reports of customers paying with counterfeit $50 bills at local businesses on March 5, 7 and 11. All the bills have the same serial number, MD29868999A. RCMP advise businesses to pay special attention to American cash. If you suspect you have been handed a counterfeit bill, call the local police immediately at 403-343-5575.

Young armed robbery suspect remains in custody Facing 28 charges relating to eight armed robberies in Central Alberta, a youth made his first appearance in court on Thursday.

He appeared in Red Deer youth court on Thursday morning. However, he has retained Patrick Penny to represent him on the new charges. Penny held on to the trial date, but told judge James Glass it was likely to change now that he is on as counsel. Chief Crown prosecutor Bena Border said she is opposed to the youth’s release from custody at this time. He will next appear in Red Deer youth court on April 2.

Red Deer RCMP are looking for suspects who were driving a stolen car that hit a cyclist in Riverside Meadows on Wednesday night. Shortly before 10 p.m., officers located a stolen Toyota Corolla as it drove along Holmes Street. When police activated their emergency lights, the stolen car drove off at a high rate of speed. Officers did not pursue the vehicle for public safety reasons, but tracked the vehicle at a distance as other officers prepared to intercept the suspects. While the stolen vehicle sped away, it collided with a cyclist at the corner of 60th Street and 54th Avenue. The cyclist, believed to have suffered minor injuries, was treated at the scene by Red Deer Emergency Services personnel. The suspect vehicle did not stop and was found abandoned on 56th Avenue. Police Dog Services were called in to search the area. A dog was able to track the suspects movements along 56th Avenue and into a field, but was unable to locate them. RCMP believe there were two people in the stolen car. Traffic in the area was diverted for a time around the scene of the collision. RCMP continue to search for the suspects. Anyone with information that may assist police in this investigation is asked to call Red Deer RCMP at 403-343-5575. To remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or report it online at www.tipsubmit. com.

Anow is changing real estate appraisal BY HARLEY RICHARDS ADVOCATE BUSINESS EDITOR When the youthful software developers at Anow need a break, they might challenge a coworker to a game of ping pong or foosball, play video games or practise their golf chipping. These and other recreational pursuits are options at the 2,000-square-foot office in downtown Red Deer where Marty Haldane and his staff are changing the way real estate appraisers across North America operate. Anow, the name of which is derived from Appraisers Now, has created cloud-based software that simplifies the administrative duties associated with real estate appraisal work. Subscribers gain access to a suite of management tools designed for the industry. “Basically, everything from managing their order data base to assigning jobs to employees, scheduling appointments, driving routes, tracking receivables and sending invoices out,” said Haldane, the CEO and founder of Anow. Such chores have traditionally consumed much of an appraiser’s time, he said, describing the experience of one Anow customer who oversees 13 appraisers in Chicago. “It became a full-time job just keeping track of what all 13 of them were doing. He’s an appraiser himself and he didn’t have time to appraise anymore.” With Anow’s software, that customer is now managing his staff more effectively and efficiently, and earning more money from his own appraisal work, said Haldane. Another benefit of the system are the insights it gives users by instantly generating reports on how well their business is doing, he added. That enables them to make better business decisions, faster. Released in January of this year, Anow’s software has caught on quickly with appraisal firms across Canada and the United States. “We’ve got New York City, Hollywood, Vancouver, Toronto and everywhere in between,” said Haldane, adding that his firm is also servicing clients of all sizes. “Our customers are from a one-person shop who works out of their house to large enterprise customers who are growing to hundreds of appraisers.” For many, their dealings with Anow have also been their introduction to Red Deer. “They expect us to be in California. When you say Canada, let along Red Deer, Alberta, they’re like, ‘Really?’” But Haldane is proud to have assembled his fourperson team of programmers, which includes himself, in Red Deer. Ranging in age from 24 to 34, all have roots in the city and are an “awesome” group, he said. Typical of the millennials who populate tech companies like Google and Facebook, the four enjoy mixing hard work with the recreational opportunities that exist in their office. “We want it to be a fun place to work.” Haldane exhibited an early aptitude for comput-

But he opted for the appraisal industry, following in the footsteps of his grandfather and father — both named Bill Haldane — with Bill Sr. starting Haldane Appraisals in Red Deer and Bill Jr. operating it now. Marty Haldane joined the family business in 2005, and went on to complete some 5,000 appraisals. But he recognized that the industry needed a more efficient way to operate, and by 2010 was pondering options. In 2011, Haldane began developing software with the help of another programmer. By 2013, he’d enlisted the support of several tech company heavyweights that he’d met through an Accelerate Alberta mentoring conference. After raising $1.1 million in investment capital, he assembled his current team of programmers and in January 2014 set to work on commercial software. They spent time at his father’s office to get a firsthand look at the industry, but also organized appraiser focus groups and tested the system in firms. Haldane’s background as a licensed appraiser helped, as has the ongoing direction and support received from an advisory board made up of the mentors Haldane met through Accelerate Alberta.

“We are 10 years ahead of where we would have been without it.” The Anow team continues to modify its software, using customer feedback to identify potential areas of improvement. “I feel you have to be evolving, and if you ever stop that’s when someone is going to take over,” said Haldane. Because the system is cloud-based, customers can quickly and easily sign up and use it on any device. “We made it so you don’t have to install anything. You can sign up in two minutes and get started; you can add a hundred people on your team in five minutes.” Haldane said the software could be modified for use in other industries, with work on such alternative applications underway. “We’ve actually had some interest already from property inspection organizations.” Cloud-based appraisal software is another area Anow is looking at. And it’s still only scratched the surface of the market for its current system. “It’s a big market and it expands across the world,” said Haldane. hrichards@reddeeradvocate.com

High Arctic Energy Services Inc. (TSX:HWO) generated record revenues in 2014, the Red Deer-based company reported on Thursday. The company had revenues of $171.8 million for the year ended Dec. 31, up 13 per cent from $152.7 million in 2013. Net earnings were $28.2 million, a 15 per cent improvement over the preceding year; and net earnings per basic share were 54 cents, up from 51 cents. It paid dividends of $9.4 million during 2014. High Arctic’s adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) for the year was also at an all-time high, at $49.3 million. That marked a 19 per cent increase over its 2013 EBITDA of $41.5 million. Tim Braun, High Arctic’s CEO, said the company’s record performance in 2014 has set the stage for continued growth of its opertions in Papua New Guinea. “Looking forward to 2015, amidst the global commodity price environment, we anticipate further EBITDA growth when our two new heli-portable drilling rigs commence operations in (Papua New Guinea) and we rationalize our infrastructure costs in Canada,” said Braun in a release. For the final quarter of 2014, High Arctic’s revenues increased by 19 per cent over the same threemonth period in 2013, to $46.2 million from $38.7 million. Net earnings were $8.5 million, up 33 per cent from $6.4 million; and net earnings per basic share were 15 cents, as compared with 13 cents a year earlier. High Arctic’s adjusted EBITDA in the final quarter of 2014 was up six per cent, to $13.3 million from $12.5 million. The release noted that the sharp decline in oil prices in the fourth quarter of 2014 significantly reduced oil field activities in most regions of the world, but High Arctic’s operations in Papua New Guinea felt less of an impact because the focus there is on liquefied natural gas. High Arctic provides drilling and specialized well completion services, equipment rentals and other services to the oil and gas industry. Its largest operation is in Papua New Guinea.

The S&P/TSX composite index rose 31.52 points to close at 14,770.72, boosted by financial stocks and the metal and mining sector. Financials stocks were broadly higher, with the sector rising 0.8 per cent. Both Manulife Financial (TSX:MFC) and TD Bank (TSX:TD) were among the biggest traders on the TSX. Meanwhile, the metals and mining sector rose 1.5 per cent with March copper up 5.3 cents at US$2.66 a pound. April gold bullion closed ahead $1.30 at US$1,151.90 an ounce. “We have entered a period where we should expect greater volatility and less of a magnitude of returns than we are used to,” said Kash Pashootan, vice-president of First Avenue Advisory in Ottawa. “I feel it’s healthy. If we were not seeing that volatility, and we continued to see markets gain at the same robust nature as we have in the past five years, that’s when I would start to be concerned.” The Canadian dollar moved ahead 0.36 of a cent to 78.72 cents US as the U.S. greenback eased off its relentless climb against key international currencies. The move came as the Royal Bank bank downgraded its latest economic forecast for 2015 after a sharp drop in energy prices. The bank projects Canada’s real GDP to grow by 2.4 per cent this year — a reduction of 0.3 percentage points from its forecast issued last December. RBC said while the drop in energy prices is a negative for the oil and gas sector, much of the weakness will be offset by stronger consumer spending and exports. On the commodity markets, the April crude contract ended near a six-week low, falling $1.12 to US$47.05 a barrel on the New

A weak retail sales report issued Thursday morning appeared to push expectations on a rate hike until later in the year. The shift in sentiment helped the Dow Jones industrials jump 259.83 points, to 17,895.22, the Nasdaq climbed 43.35 points to 4,893.29 while the S&P 500 index edged up 25.71 points to 2,065.95. In corporate news, Empire Co. Ltd. (TSX:EMP.A), the parent of the Sobey’s grocery chain, earned $123.6 million for the quarter, up from a $400,00 a year ago. Sales slipped to $5.94 billion compared with $6 billion. Empire shares dropped 95 cents to $90.00. Transat AT Inc. (TSX:TRZ.B) said it’s aiming for $100 million of cost savings and margin improvements by 2017. Part of the plan includes saving $45 million in 2015.

Harper says Canada ready to retaliate in meat-labelling war with U.S. BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

COUNTRY OF ORIGIN RULES

SASKATOON — Prime Minister Stephen Harper is reiterating that Canada is prepared to retaliate in an ongoing trade war with the United States over country-of-origin meat-labelling rules. Speaking with rural leaders in Saskatoon Thursday, Harper said that retaliation will become essential at some point in the dispute. “We are prepared to retaliate at a point in time,” the prime minister told the audience. “Obviously we don’t want to retaliate in a way that would endanger our wider trade interests, but I will say that at some, point retaliation becomes essential.” Harper did not take question from reporters. American country-of-origin rules require all packaged meat to identify where the animal was born, raised and slaughtered. Supporters of the law say it better informs U.S. consumers, but opponents

argue that segregating animals and tracking them adds costs. Canada and Mexico say the U.S. rules violate international trade law and have damaged their industries, which is why the two countries are fighting the rules at the World Trade Organization. Late last year, the United States filed its final appeal of a WTO ruling that found its meat labelling laws discriminate against Canadian beef and pork exports. Canada has said it is poised to slap retaliatory tariffs on a range of U.S. products, including pork, beef, wine and orange juice, if it wins the next round at the WTO and the U.S. doesn’t adjust its rules. Last month, however, Federal Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz said he was hopeful things wouldn’t get that far, based on what he’s heard from lawmakers in Washington.

National Book Festival continues with nod to Jefferson’s role in building Library of Congress BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — The National Book Festival will continue in its new location at the Washington Convention Center over Labor Day weekend with a special nod to Thomas Jefferson’s role in building the Library of Congress. The festival, founded by former first lady Laura Bush, will be held Sept. 5, the library announced Tuesday. It will feature more than 100 authors across many genres, including historian Annette Gordon-Reed. She won the Pulitzer Prize for history for her work changing the scholarship about Jefferson and his relationship with slave Sally Hemings. This year’s festival celebrates the 200th anniversary of the library acquiring Jefferson’s personal library in 1815. Those books formed the basis for building the world’s largest library. The festival will feature contemporary writers including Daniel Alarcon, Kwame Alexander, David McCullough, Walter Isaacson, Marilynne Robinson and Jane Smiley,

among others. Moving the festival indoors last year after a decade on the National Mall dampened the enthusiasm of some loyal attendees. Past festivals have drawn more than 200,000 visitors. Some would stumble onto the open-air festival by accident but found topics of interest. But new rules and costs associated with holding large events on the National Mall’s re-engineered turf would have made the festival too costly. With the move inside, tens of thousands of people still attended last year and packed many of the rooms to capacity. The festival was also expanded to include evening programs, which will involve a “Graphic Novels and Movie Night” this year. “We sort of learned that people who are fans of reading and fans of connecting with their favourite authors are going to come,” library spokeswoman Gayle Osterberg said of the move to the convention centre. “We were very pleased with it and are very happy to be going back this year.”

Pesticide Use Programs This is to notify that The City of Red Deer intends to conduct pesticide control programs as necessary during the season. Control programs may include weed, insect pests and mosquitoes (in accordance with Pesticide Service Registration 254731-0000, issued by Alberta Environment, for landscape and biting fly pesticide applications). In addition, control of some weeds is required under the regulations of the Provincial Weed Control Act. All pesticides used and control procedures will be in accordance with federally approved label recommendations and the requirements set by Alberta Environment. The City of Red Deer uses an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach for pest problems. Where possible chemical pesticide controls for pests are only used when alternative control measures would not be effective. Control measures using physical/mechanical (e.g. hand picking weeds and insects, pruning out tree pathogens, use of machinery), biological, and microbial pesticide (e.g. Bacillus thuringiensis for mosquito control) methods are used where practical and effective. For further information concerning dates and locations of pest control applications contact the Recreation, Parks & Culture Department at 403-342-8234.

Without glorifying the illegal, Lehane’s World Gone By examines how crime works on one’s soul and what it means to know that the life you’ve chosen must give way to the next breed of criminals in this, the gripping finale. World Gone By is also a textbook guide on how to end a series as Lehane smoothly guides his characters and plot to a smooth finish in this series that began with The Given Day (2008). The novel picks up the story of Joe Coughlin in 1942, a decade after the events in the Edgar Awardwinning Live by Night (2012). Now a widower, Joe has transitioned from a feared gangster to a leader among the criminals in Tampa, Florida, and, to the outside world, a respected businessman who socializes with the mayor and heads several successful charities. Joe’s influence among the strata of the under-

REVIEW world’s white, black and Latin criminals and area politicians gives him even more power to hide his illegal activities in plain sight. Then word reaches Joe that there is a contract on his life. His attempts to find the killer — and who initiated the contract — take him through every crevice of his world, both those of gangsters and upstanding citizens. Lehane balances Joe’s devotion to his son, Tomas, with his ruthlessness in dealing with his enemies. Enhancing the complex plot are scenes that show the mob’s growth during World War II, including its clandestine deals with the U.S. government and its influence on the Batista regime in Cuba. Lehane also depicts Florida in the 1940s, when urban sprawl was a fantasy and Ybor City was the district for Tampa’s Latin population. Joe is the main character of World Gone By, but Lehane doesn’t make him a hero. Joe loves being a gangster, following no rules, even “bringing the beacons of the city into contact with her demons and making it all seem like a lark.” He isn’t seeking, nor does he want, redemption, but he wouldn’t mind some peace of mind.

Chance of mega-quake hitting California in the next 30 years increases FROM 7 PER CENT TO 47 PER CENT AFTER SCIENTISTS TAKE MORE INTO CONSIDERATION BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — Scientists are virtually certain that California will be rocked by a strong earthquake in the next 30 years. Now they say the risk of a mega-quake is more likely than previously thought. The chance of a magnitude-8 quake striking the state in the next three decades jumped to 7 per cent from 4.7 per cent, mainly because scientists took into account the possibility that several faults can shake at once, releasing seismic energy that results in greater destruction. While the risk of a mega-quake is higher than past estimates, it’s more likely — greater than 99 per cent chance — that California will be rattled by a magnitude-6.7 jolt similar in size to the 1994 Northridge disaster. The chance of a Northridge-size quake was slightly higher in Northern California than Southern California — 95 per cent versus 93 per cent, according to a report released Tuesday by the U.S. Geological Survey. “California is earthquake country, and residents should live every day like it could be the day of a big one,” USGS geophysicist and lead author Ned Field said. The latest seismic calculations largely mirror previous findings issued by the USGS in 2008. Back then, scientists also determined that California faced an almost certain risk of experiencing a Northridgesize quake. The new report included newly discovered fault zones and the possibility that a quake can jump from fault to fault. Because of this knowledge, the odds of a catastrophic quake — magnitude 8 or larger — in the next 30 years increased. There is a 93 per cent chance of a magnitude 7 or larger occurring over the same period and a 48 per cent chance of a magnitude 7.5 — similar to previous estimates. Thousands of quakes every year hit California, sandwiched between two of Earth’s major tectonic plates, the Pacific and North American plates. Most are too small to be felt. Of the more than 300 faults that crisscross the state, the southern segment of the San Andreas Fault — which runs from central California to the Salton Sea near the U.S.-Mexico border — remains the greatest threat because it hasn’t ruptured in more than three centuries.

Hot springs on Enceladus? SCIENTISTS FIND EVIDENCE DEEP BENEATH TINY SATURN MOON BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — New research suggests there are hot springs bubbling beneath the icy surface of a tiny Saturn moon. If confirmed, it would make the moon Enceladus the only other known body in the solar system besides Earth where hot water and rocks interact underground. That activity would make the moon an even more attractive place in the hunt for microbial life. On Earth, scientists have found weird life forms living in hydrothermal vents on the ocean bottom where there’s no sunlight. The research comes from Cassini, a NASA-European spacecraft that launched in 1997 to explore Saturn and its numerous moons from orbit. It previously uncovered a vast ocean beneath Enceladus and a giant plume of gas and ice streaming from cracks in the south polar region. In the latest study, a group led by Cassini team member Sean Hsu of the University of Colorado in Boulder used spacecraft observations and computer modeling to show that the plume is connected to what’s happening on the lunar sea floor.

Judging by their size and makeup, the team believes particles in the plume are the result of hot water coming into contact with rocks on the ocean floor. The resulting mineral-rich water then shoots up through the icy crust and erupts into space in a plume of gas and ice. Some particles settle around Saturn, replenishing its biggest ring. The new work also suggests that the ocean is deeper than previous estimates — more than 30 miles (50 kilometres) deep below the icy crust. It did not provide details on how big the ocean might be, but the Cassini team last year said it could be as big as or even bigger than North America’s Lake Superior. Cassini should get a better glimpse of the plume later this year when it flies through it, passing within 30 miles (50 kilometres) above Enceladus’ surface. The findings were published online Wednesday in the journal Nature. In an accompanying editorial, Gabriel Tobie of France’s University of Nantes said the environment beneath Enceladus appears similar to the underwater system of hot springs and towering spires nicknamed “Lost City” in the mid-Atlantic. It would take future missions such as a lander on the surface of Enceladus to “fully reveal the secrets of its hot springs,” he wrote.

LONDON — Britain’s Supreme Court ruled this week that the passage of time is no barrier to a financial settlement in a divorce case, giving a British woman the right to pursue a claim against her exhusband decades after they parted ways. In a landmark ruling, the court decided that Kathleen Wyatt, 55, was entitled to seek compensation from ex-husband Dale Vince, 53. The couple married in 1981, raised two children together and lived a lifestyle of New Age nomads. When they divorced in 1992, they had no assets or income. After the split, their lives diverged dramatically. Wyatt struggled, raising a daughter from a previous relationship and a son she had with Vince, while her ex-husband went on to establish Ecotricity, a green energy company and windmill builder valued by the court at some 57 million pounds ($85 million.) Though files going back years could not be located, the Supreme Court said there was no reason to believe Wyatt had previously sought financial provision and had her claims dismissed — effectively deciding she still deserved her day in court. Another court will now decide what amount Wyatt will receive. She has sought 1.9 million pounds ($2.9 million). Justice Nicholas Wilson said that was “out of the question” but that she might get enough to buy a mortgage-free house. Wyatt described the decision as “important” but Vince called it “mad.” “I feel that we all have a right to move on and not be looking over our shoulders,” he said. “This could signal open season for people who had brief relationships a quarter of a century ago,” William Healing, a family law partner at Kingsley Napley LLP, said the case showed that couples should tie up loose ends upon separation with a formal court order. “It is the childcare responsibilities she had which have kept her claim alive over two decades,” Healing said in a statement. “That fact alone gives her a good chance of getting, say, (a) roof over head, from her exhusband’s millions.”

Levi Cuss letting it go Photo contributed

Levi Cuss will release a new album, Night Thief, on March 21 at the The Vat in Red Deer.

A new attitude permeates a new album BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF The older Levi Cuss gets, the more he’s attuned to the adage ‘live and let live.’ “Forgiveness was always a weird thing for me. I used to be ... the kind of person who thinks everything has to be exactly right,” admitted the 39-year-old Red Deer roots singer. “But I’ve learned not to judge. I mean, everybody screws up in some way or another, so let’s not be so hard about it.” If there’s a thread running through Cuss’s new album, Night Thief, it’s about “seeing the truth of how tough life is,” and not pointing fingers at other people’s foibles, said Cuss. A non-judgmental spirit saturates his new songs, including Tecumseh, which tells of a woman forgiving her brother’s killer. “They actually run off together and live as happily-ever-after as it gets in my world,” said Cuss, with a wry chuckle. Night Thief will be released on Sat-

urday, March 21, at a concert at The Vat in Red Deer that includes performances by Cuss and his four-piece band, as well as an opening set by The Charlie Jacobson Band. The new album was made in Nashville with multiple-Juno-Award winning producer Steve Dawson, and also includes the talents of some excellent session musicians — including a drummer who’s played with Bruce Cockburn and a bassist who’s backed Blackie and the Rodeo Kings. Cuss was staggered by “the sheer magnitude” of the players. “The calibre and quality of the music on the album is second to none,” said the musician, who believes Night Thief lifts his songs to new heights, so was worth the enormous effort needed to get the album made. The whole project took more than a year to complete, with Cuss working long days and nights at music gigs, his construction job and other side projects to cover recording costs. “I’ve had only four days off since September — Christmas Day, New Year’s and a couple of other days,”

said Cuss, who figures he’s been pulling 70-hour work weeks for six months. “Now I’ll have to settle down — because I’ll die if I don’t!” All joking aside, mortality actually was something he had to deal with during the making of the album. Cuss’s favourite uncle, who had been sick for some time, passed away while the musician was in Nashville last spring. It was a big blow to the singer/guitarist, who recalled pouring the “hardness” of that news into the songs he was recording. “The vibe in the studio was more intense and gritty because of it. It hurt me. But when we were done, I thought, you know what? (The album) is better” because of the emotional undercurrents, Cuss recalled. “There’s a give and take to everything, I guess, a ying and a yang.” Murder of Crows, Dark Horse and Tongues are some of his new songs with darker themes. But Bring it Back and Grandma are upbeat, although the latter reflects on the death of a grandparent. “My grandma was dying of lung can-

cer when I wrote the song,” said Cuss, “and it includes some hard bits about her life. ... On Christmas Eve Day, she passed away, and it’s been a heavy thing. ...” Struggling to overcome limitations could be another thread running through Night Thief. His tune Utumbo pays musical homage to the late Nelson Mandela, who started out as an outlaw/freedom-fighter and ended up as a statesman/humanitarian. “He didn’t accept the things that are wrong in the world. He decided to push the limits and make a change.” To some degree, the same theme could also be applied to some of Cuss’s love songs. He admitted, “Love is such a tricky thing for me because the very nature of love is to take a risk.” Those scared of getting hurt will never be fully open to the experience, so the divorced father of two teenagers muses, “sometimes you have to take a beating to move forward ...” Tickets to the show are $20 from The Vat, The Soundhouse, and Gilmore Guitars. lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

As Canadian as it gets BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF There’s nothing better than hockey and country music for singer Chad Brownlee. Imagine his thrill at seeing his two great loves fused into the creation of an electric guitar made of 22 Sherwood-brand hockey sticks. Created by Hamilton, Ont., luthier Jeff Robinson, the custom-made axe is also decorated with a cut-out from a Stompin’ Tom Connors album. “You don’t get more Canadian than that!” said Brownlee, with a chuckle. The Kelowna, B.C., native intends to play the unique instrument during his Canadian When the Lights Go Down tour with Jess Moskaluke and Bobby Wills. The tour stops on Tuesday, March 24, at Cowboys in Red Deer. After the tour, Brownlee intends to auction the guitar from his website to benefit the Tim Horton Children’s Foundation. He hopes it fetches at least $10,000 for the charity that runs camps for kids who otherwise wouldn’t be able to enjoy outdoors experiences. As a singer and former professional hockey player (Brownlee was a 2003 draft pick for the Vancouver Canucks and an Idaho Steelhead before being sidelined by injuries), he takes his role-model status very seriously. “I went to a Canucks game once when I was eight years old,” he recalled, and right-winger Trevor Linden caught his eye. “He smiled and winked at me, and from that moment on, he was my favourite player. ... I know how influential something like that can be to a kid, when you’re an athlete or musician.” Brownlee has visited five out of seven Tim Horton Children’s Foundation camps, and realizes not everyone has an easy childhood. “I was one of the fortunate ones. I grew up in a stable family with parents who supported me,” said the singer, who’s knows some youths don’t even get three meals a day. He’s also giving to the foundation by turning over proceeds from digital downloads of his inspirational single We Don’t Walk This Road Alone. (The video for the tune was filmed with some of the camp kids.) He likes that the song has received a lot of different interpretations — ranging from the religious to the more secular. “The cool part is if you can relate to it in different ways.” He doesn’t care how the lyrics are heard, as long as they inspire listeners and

provide comfort to those going through difficulties. Brownlee said he’s received a lot of positive response for his album, The Fighters. Instead of fans just focusing on one or two songs, he’s heard people list a lot of favourites — from the darker breakup songs Hello and Matches to the more upbeat Just Because and Where the Party’s At? He plans to start recording a new album soon, for an end of year or early 2016 release. But first, he will tour from Prince Edward Island to Vancouver Island with Moskaluke and Wills. “They’re great people, with a lot of talent. I look forward to it.” Moskaluke won her first Canadian Country Music Association Award for Female Artist of the Year in 2014. She was also crowned the CCMA New Artist Showcase winner in 2011, and won numerous Saskatchewan Country Music Awards. Her single Cheap Wine and Cigarettes was the highest charting song on the iTunes Top 200 chart for any Canadian artist.

Recycled movie parts don’t work At the Chappie One star (out of four) Rated: 14A Sci-fi filmmaker Neill Blomkamp bolts together used and stolen parts for his robot movie Chappie, and the lamentable result is far from riveting. This clanking third feature from the South African writer/director feels a lot like his first and second ones, District 9 and Elysium. He’s once again working a “them versus us” future PETER shock scenario, HOWELL incorporating faux documentary elements and assigning a key role to his actor pal Sharlto Copley, this time as the title robot. Blomkamp also revisits ideas from his earlier short films — particularly Tetra Vaal and Adicolor Yellow, both viewable on YouTube — while plundering innumerable (and better) movies about sentient machines, among them Short Circuit, RoboCop and WALLE. The guy should be running a recycling centre, not making big-budget movie blockbusters — and this goes double for the Aliens sequel he’s bafflingly been green-lighted for. Chappie is curiously missing something that added distinction to Blomkamp’s previous features: a social conscience. His 2009 debut feature District 9, set in the South African capital city Johannesburg, dramatized the evils of the country’s now-abandoned Apartheid policy with its fenced-off ghetto of space aliens stranded, marginalized and mistreated on Earth. Blomkamp’s 2013 followup Elysium, grander of bankroll and star power but lesser of vision, had orbiting one-percenters trying to protect their space station Shangri-la from desperate 99-percenters down below. Chappie doesn’t have much of anything to say, unless you still need the lesson that allowing machines to assume control of humanity is a bad idea. Didn’t we learn this already from RoboCop, Terminator and The Matrix, not to mention the Internet, Google and Facebook? Returning to Joburg, one year into the future, Blomkamp envisions his birth city as a lawless metropolis where robot cops called “scouts” work as cost-effective but mindless enforcers. Brainiac inventor Deon (Slumdog

Good robot cop, bad robot cop; Chappie — as a movie about a robot cop — is a clunker. Millionaire’s Dev Patel), who built the scouts for the weapons company that employs him, wants to give his creations artificial intelligence on a par with human consciousness. But the corporate honcho (Sigourney Weaver) doesn’t see any profit in the AI plan, so she deep-sixes the idea. Deon also faces static from a rival robot-maker (Hugh Jackman), a former soldier who is pushing for a bigger and more lethal version of a mechanized police force. True to sci-fi cliché, events unfold to manifest destiny. Deon finds a damaged scout, later to be named Chappie, and covertly installs his AI upgrade into the machine. His Dr. Frankenstein plans are rudely interrupted by street punks, led by Ninja (Watkin Tudor Jones) and Yolandi (Yo-Landi Visser), real-life members of the rap-rave group Die Antwoord. Seeing Chappie as both ammunition against a rival gang and an opportunity to fleece the wealthy, they kidnap both robot and inventor. Here the movie grinds almost to a halt, as Blomkamp struggles to decide whether he’s making a comedy or a blows-up-good action movie. Much screen time is expended on scenes where a naïve and fearful Chappie is taught how to act gangsta by Ninja and Yolandi, who may find themselves acquiring parental feelings despite their worst intentions.

Crucial to what tiny fascination the film offers is Sharlto Copley’s portrayal of rabbit-eared Chappie, both as the motion-capture actor behind the computer-generated screen image and as the voice of the machine. Copley gets the movements right (although he’s no Andy Serkis) but the voice badly wrong. Chappie speaks with a whiny, scratchy tone that drills into the skull almost as painfully as Hans Zimmer’s overbearing score, which I think at

points must incorporate the sound of screeching subway wheels. Yet for all this, Chappie seems more human than any of the other actors in the film, especially Weaver and Jackman, who are criminally underused here. Perhaps this was part of Blomkamp’s devious plan all along, now revealed as a thudding failure, to show how machines are better than humans. Peter Howell is a syndicated Toronto Star movie critic.

Lily James is Cinderella and Cate Blanchett is her evil stepmother in Disney’s live-action feature Cinderella. The remake of the classic Disney movie translates poorly into 21st century values.

Looks can’t be everything At the

Cinderella Two stars (out of four) Rated: G Perhaps the best-known fairy tale of all time has been given a lush, if lifeless, production in Cinderella. It’s an opulent reimagining that spares nothing in the way of colour, texture and rich visual value, but rarely manages to quicken its own pulse or that of the audience. The solemn-looking Lily James plays the title character, the daughter of a wealthy merchant and his delicate wife. In a magical land similar to 19thcentury Britain, she grows up talking to animals, charming her parents and striving to fulfil her devoted mother’s wishes that she display courage and, above all, be kind. “There is power in kindness,” the older woman says wisely. When tragedy befalls the family and her father remarries, the new blended family — including a style-conscious stepmother and her two vain and silly daughters — is enough to put even Cinderella’s most faultless virtues severely to the test. Director Kenneth Branagh and screenwriter Chris

Weitz clearly have tried to bring the old story into line with 21st century feminist values: Far from a passive victim waiting to be saved by the handsome prince, their Cinderella is a paragon of quiet integrity and insight. But the lovely and fundamentally uninteresting James is no match for the fire and elemental venom exuded by Cate Blanchett’s evil stepmother, who is by far the film’s most interesting character. With her chartreuse and green wardrobe, scarlet gash of a ric-

tus grin and darting fits of cruelty, she seems to have beamed into Cinderella as if from a 1950s Douglas Sirk melodrama into a cozy Merchant Ivory period drama. Branagh tries his best to infuse Cinderella with energy, from having his characters compulsively swirl and spin in otherwise static scenes to the palace intrigue and power plays that take the place of conventional romance. He even tries to inject some humour (yes, that’s Rob Bryden in a cameo role, and Helena Bonham Carter hiding behind a hideous pair of prosthetic teeth), but to no avail. For all its gossamer, gauze, filigree and refinement, Cinderella drags when it should skip as lightly as its title character when she’s late getting home from the ball.

Tensions high as two police officers shot in Ferguson BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS FERGUSON, Mo. — With measured remarks and a conciliatory tone, police, political leaders and civil-rights activists on Thursday sought to tamp down tensions after two police officers were shot in front of the Ferguson Police Department during a protest. The officers were quickly released from the hospital, but St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar said they could have easily been killed and called the attack “an ambush.” Several people were taken in for questioning after a SWAT team converged on a Ferguson home near the shooting site, but they were later released, and no arrests were made. The shootings marked the first time in eight months of tension in Ferguson that officers were shot at a protest, and the bloodshed threatened to inflame the already fraught relationship between police and protesters just as the city seeks reforms in the wake of a withering Justice Department report on racial bias in its law-enforcement practices. The attack also seemed to create another layer of race-related mistrust after a week in which an unarmed young black man was killed by a white officer in Madison, Wisconsin, and a University of Oklahoma fraternity chapter was thrown off campus after a video surfaced showing members singing a racist chant. In Washington, President Barack Obama took to Twitter to relay his prayers to the officers and to denounce violence against police. “Path to justice is one all of us must travel together,” Obama wrote, signing the tweet with his initials to indicate the president personally composed it. Attorney General Eric Holder said the gunman was “a damn punk” who was “trying to sow discord in an area that was trying to get its act together, trying to bring together a community that had been fractured for too long.” The shots were fired early Thursday just as a small crowd of protesters began to break up after a late-night demonstration that unfolded hours after the resignation of Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson. The shots were believed to come from a handgun across the street from the police department, which

has been a national focal point since the fatal Aug. 9 shooting of Michael Brown, who was black and unarmed, by a white police officer. The gunman may have fired from up to 120 yards away, a distance longer than a football field. But with a line of roughly 20 officers standing in front of the building, the shooter did not have to be particularly accurate to hit two of them, Belmar said. “We’re lucky by God’s grace we didn’t lose two officers last night,” he said. A 41-year-old St. Louis County officer was shot in the right shoulder, the bullet exiting through his back. A 32-year-old officer from Webster Groves was wearing a riot helmet with the face shield up. He was shot in the right cheek, just below the eye, and the bullet lodged behind his ear. Tensions have been high in Ferguson since August and escalated in November after a St. Louis County grand jury declined to prosecute Darren Wilson, the officer who shot Brown. Justice Department investigators concurred with that finding in a report released March 4. But a separate Justice Department report released that same day found racial profiling in the Ferguson police force, and a municipal court system driven by profit, largely on the backs of black and low-income residents. In the week after the report, Ferguson’s court clerk was fired and the municipal judge, two police officers and the city manager voluntarily stepped aside. Wilson resigned in November. John Gaskin III, a St. Louis community activist, speculated that the shooting was conducted by outside agitators intent on hijacking attention from peaceful, reform-minded protesters. Activists “cannot afford these kinds of incidents happening, because that gets us absolutely nowhere.” In a statement, Ferguson Mayor James Knowles III and the city council said, although they respect the right to protest peacefully, “we cannot continue to move forward under threats of violence and destruction to our community. We ask our residents and clergy in this area to partner with us as we make our way through this process.”

Five barrels of bourbon stolen from Wild Turkey distillery found BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS FRANKFORT, Ky. — Another iconic bourbon brand in Kentucky has been targeted in a heist, but this time authorities say they have arrested a suspect caught with the stash of pricey whiskey in his backyard. Franklin County sheriff’s deputies responding to a tip recovered five barrels — each filled with bourbon — that were taken from the Wild Turkey Distillery at nearby Lawrenceburg, Sheriff Pat Melton said Thursday. One arrest has been made so far as authorities continue to look into the pilfering of the popular whiskey that was still aging, the sheriff said. “This investigation is going in several different directions,” Melton said in an interview. “We’re following up on our leads as we speak.” Each barrel is believed to carry a value of $3,700 to $6,000, but Wild Turkey officials took samples to determine the exact worth, the sheriff said. Labeling on each barrel had been

spray-painted over, he said. Bourbon coming off the still is put in new, charred oak barrels for aging in warehouses, an age-old process that gives the whiskey its distinctive taste and colour. Melton couldn’t yet say if the heist was connected with the unsolved 2013 theft of Pappy Van Winkle bourbon and rye whiskey. That hard-to-get whiskey was taken from the Buffalo Trace Distillery at Frankfort. “We are looking at that as this (investigation) goes out in different directions,” Melton said. That heist netted 195 bottles — or 65 cases — of 20-year-old Pappy Van Winkle’s Family Reserve bourbon and 27 bottles — or nine cases — of 13-year-old Van Winkle Family Reserve Rye. The missing whiskey had a retail value at the time of about $26,000. Officers executing a search warrant found the five barrels of Wild Turkey bourbon behind a shed in the backyard of a Frankfort residence, Melton said.
