BACKS AGAINST THE WALL

PONOKA

Radio station denied

BY HARLEY RICHARDS ADVOCATE BUSINESS EDITOR An effort to put Ponoka on the radio dial has failed, but the man behind the initiative says he’s not giving up.

Leduc-based Blackgold Broadcasting Inc. applied to the Canadian Radiotelevision and Telecommunications Commission last year for approval to launch an FM country music station in Ponoka.

A hearing into the application took place Nov. 12, and this week the CRTC announced that it has rejected the proposal.

In a written decision released Wednesday, the national radio and television regulator said a new broadcaster in Ponoka “could have an undue negative impact on existing radio stations, most notably those in Wetaskiwin and Lacombe.”

“We’re disappointed, but we’re not giving up on Ponoka,” Blackgold president Mark Tamagi told the Advocate.

“We really believe that Ponoka deserves its own radio service. The town is big enough to support it, and they want it.”

The CRTC said Blackgold’s proposal would have resulted in a signal that overlaps those of stations in Wetaskiwin, Lacombe and Red Deer.

It expressed concerns that some of Blackgold’s advertising revenues would have come at the expense of those stations.

Blackgold planned to broadcast 126 hours of local programming per week, with just over six hours dedicated to news, including nearly five for local and regional coverage.

Its stated target market was adults 25 to 54 years of age.

The CRTC said it received numerous submissions in support of Blackgold’s application, but also objections from Newcap Inc. and L.A. Radio Group Inc. Newcap owns CKJR in Wetaskiwin and CKGY-FM in Red Deer, while L.A. Radio operates CJUV-FM in Lacombe.

Tamagi said he’s determined to give Ponoka its own radio station, pointing out that the town deserves a station with a local focus.

“We’re currently working on it,” he said, but declined to elaborate.

Municipalities taking cautious approach to provincial budget

BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF Central Alberta municipalities have had more time to digest the province’s latest spending plans but questions remain.

Most communities were relieved that the province agreed to pump $400 million in additional cash into the Municipal Sustainability Initiative (MSI), a decade-old program has provided billions to communities to address infrastructure deficits.

Red Deer County received a $2.7-million supplementary payment in March, ahead of the provincial budget,

to boost its MSI take this year to $6.6 million.

However, there has been no official word yet from the province on whether municipalities can expect that higher contribution to be sustained, although a five-year capital plan calls for big increases as future “targets.”

If the increases don’t materialize, Red Deer County and all of the province’s other municipalities will have to review their budgets.

Red Deer County corporate services director Heather Gray said the county typically takes a cautious approach to slotting in provincial funding until there is a firm announcement from the government.

Previously, the county used MSI grants to maintain its large network of roads.

Lacombe County corporate services manager Tim Timmons said they will get $3.6 million in MSI capital funding this year, including $1.6 million in supplementary funding.

Timmons said on Thursday they are not counting on that extra cash next year and assume their MSI will be about $2 million.

Should MSI funding remain at lower levels, it will eventually have an impact on the county’s road paving and bridge projects.

Downed power lines, fire complicate Rimbey rescue

Volunteer firefighters from Rimbey rescued a man who was trapped in his vehicle, which was covered in power lines as a fire burned nearby.

The incident occurred just before 5 a.m. on Thursday when a cube truck being driven on Hwy 766 west of Rimbey went through the Hwy 53 intersection.

The truck rolled over in the ditch and took out a power pole carrying heavy lines, Rimbey Fire and Rescue chief John Weisberger said.

The three-phase power lines are big lines and part of a large crossover system at the junction, he said.

The box on the truck, which appeared to be mainly carrying auto parts, was torn off.

The fire started in the load just as firefighters arrived, said Weisberger.

It was not in the truck cab, where the driver was trapped.

Firefighters were unable to get to

the driver for the first 20 minutes, until a power employee arrived and assured them the lines were no longer live.

“You never know.”

Weisberger said fortunately the power employee responded quickly because he lived nearby.

Unable to access the vehicle, firefighters used a dry chemical to treat the fire. They could not use water because of the uncertainly about whether the power lines were live.

“In this case it ended up not too bad ... it can escalate very quickly if it starts to burn a lot and he’s still trapped in there and he can’t get out.”

The driver was aware the fire was burning. “He was not very good with that, like anybody would be. Put yourself in there and you’re stuck.”

The Jaws of Life were used to free the man, who was taken by ambulance to Rimbey Hospital.

“He was fortunate. There was no doubt about that,” Weisberger said.

Sylvan Lake, Innisfail to get Parent Link Centres

HWY 2A COLLISION

BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF

Blackfalds volunteer firefighters and an AHS Ambulance crew move a patient from a car to a waiting stretcher after a collision south of Blackfalds Thursday afternoon. Four vehicles were involved in the crash that sent one person to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. As emergency crews and RCMP worked at the scene a snow squall blew in, complicating efforts to deal with the scene that had traffic backed up in the northbound lane of Hwy 2A for a couple of kilometres.

Cancer victim won’t get assist from Poilievre in fight for CPP disability OTTAWA — Employment Minister Pierre Poilievre will not intervene to ensure a terminally ill Alberta man denied Canada Pension Plan disability benefits finally gets his payments.

Peter McClure, 62, is suffering from lung and rectal cancer and has outlived his doctor’s prognosis.

McClure says he was told by Service Canada 18 months ago that his condition wasn’t severe or prolonged enough to qualify for CPP disability, and was advised to apply for CPP retirement benefits instead,

RADIO: Sylvan Lake applications postponed “It took me seven years to get the licence here in Leduc, and we’re just launching a new station in Parkland County and Spruce Grove and Stony Plain, and I’ve been working on that application since 2008.”

Meanwhile, a pair of applications to the CRTC for radio stations in Sylvan Lake, which were scheduled to be heard last week, have been postponed to an unspecified date.

Lethbridge-based Clear Sky Radio Inc., which operates radio stations in Lethbridge and Medicine Hat, is seeking approval for an FM station with a “modern music” format and a target audience between the ages of 18 and 44.

Golden West Broadcasting Ltd., which is based in Manitoba and operates about 40 radio stations across the Prairies, also wants to launch an FM station in Sylvan Lake. Its application described a new country format that would serve adults 18 to 54. hrichards@reddeeradvocate.com

which pay significantly less.

The government’s social security tribunal recently expedited McClure’s CPP disability appeal, but ultimately told him its hands were tied because he was already receiving retirement benefits.

Provisions in CPP legislation give Poilievre, as minister, special authority to intervene if people have been denied benefits due to erroneous advice.

Weeks after the department was first asked if he’d use that authority — and then insisted upon a waiver signed by McClure in order to speak publicly about his case — a spokesman for Poilievre said that won’t be happening.

Innisfail and Sylvan Lake are each getting $350,000 to open Parent Link Centres to benefit parents in area communities in Red Deer County.

The Sylvan Lake centre, to be operated by Family and Community Support Services (FCSS) at Sylvan Lake Community Centre, will provide parent education, early childhood development support, family support, information and referral, and developmental screening.

All services will be available to all parents regardless of socio-economic background, culture, or special needs. Programs are available free of charge.

Sylvan Lake Mayor Sean McIntyre said Parent Link will mean a lot to his town.

“Sylvan Lake is a growing and dynamic community. The average age of our residents is under the age of 32 so you can imagine that that means a lot of young families. We’re also growing rapidly with an average growth rate of 4.5 per cent a year,” said McIntyre at a press conference on Thursday at Sylvan Lake Community Centre to announce the Sylvan Lake funding.

The Sylvan Lake centre is expected to open later in 2015. It will also serve Eckville and Benalto. The Innisfail centre, to be operated by McMan Youth and Family Community Services, will reach out to Spruce View, Markerville, Penhold, Springbrook and Bowden.

Human Services Minister Heather Klimchuk said the two new Parent Link Centres announced in Central Alberta mean the province will soon have 53 Parent Links serving 185 communities.

“With the young families coming in, about 1,000 babies are born every week in Alberta. So we know to support families (with children age) zero to four is absolutely essential. Parents need support and we want to be there to support them so kids are ready for kindergarten,” Klimchuk said.

“In Alberta, about 29 per cent of children when they come to kindergarten aren’t quite ready so we need to work on that. That’s why I’m so committed to these Parent Link Centres.”

Please see PARENTS on Page A2 Fixing or replacing bridges is a major portion of the infrastructure in most rural municipalities, where a majority of bridges were built in the 1940s through 1960s.

Lacombe County has a $131-million bridge replacement program for its 161 bridges and culverts.

In Red Deer County, bridge replacement and repair amounts to a $65-million infrastructure deficit.

The City of Lacombe is also waiting to hear whether it will be affected by the province’s plan to slash a Regional Collaboration Grant program to $19.2 million from $48.8 million. Lacombe and Lacombe County have applied for $300,000 to create an Intermunicipal Development Plan, a joint planning document that ensures neighbouring municipalities are on the same page when it comes to future growth.

Lacombe chief administrative officer Norma MacQuarrie said their application is already in and there has been no word yet on its progress.

“The funding is affected in the budget, so what that means for us I’m not sure.”

Another program whittled down by provincial number crunchers is the Water for Life Strategy, which has been used by municipalities to bankroll major initiatives such as the Olds-to-Red Deer regional wastewater line that is nearing completion.

Lacombe, Blackfalds and Lacombe County have stepped up efforts to line up funding for a Red Deerto-Lacombe leg, a project expected to cost in the $40-million range, 90 per cent of which would be paid by the province.

However, Water for Life is only funded to $30 million in the last budget, down from its peak of $100 million in 2009.

MacQuarrie said they’re still hopeful that the province will pump more money into the program as the fiscal situation improves.

There is some room for optimism. The province’s five-year plan shows the fund rising again to $86 million, and up to $135 million by 2018.

On the MSI front, Lacombe is in line for $2.24 mil-

lion this year, a number bolstered by $1 million in supplementary funding.

Additional costs to communities were spotted in a smaller budget line item. The province will stop paying municipalities property taxes on provincially owned social housing. That means a $72,000 hit to Lacombe.

Other grants will rise, in step with increased populations, such as transportation and policing allotments and a Federal Gas Tax Fund.

Municipalities could also see their fine revenues increase, thanks to sharp increases in those penalties.

Whether MSI funding increases is likely to depend on the province hitting targets outlined in its five-year capital plan. It calls for this year’s $497 million in MSI funding to increase to $846 million in 2016-17 and staying at that level for the following two years. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

RESCUE: No more than the normal risks The fire chief took the incident in stride, when asked about the risk to firefighters at the scene, “No more than the normal risks that people do on this job.”

The extent of the man’s injuries are unknown. The Rimbey RCMP officer attending the scene was unavailable for comment.

Road conditions were good at the time. However, once the firefighters arrived, it did get icy.

Fortis Alberta reported on its website that the power was knocked out in the area at 4:40 a.m. and nine customers were affected, and it would take until about 2 p.m. on Thursday to restore power. barr@reddeeradvocate.com

A3 Crown appeals murder case FRIDAY, APRIL 3, 2015

aboriginal sisters.

“I want this to stop happening to our people,” she said.

Gladue’s mother and three daughters also attended the rally, along with several First Nations chiefs.

Many demanded government action for missing and murdered aboriginal women.

WARNING: CONTENT MAY DISTURB SOME READERS Barton’s trial heard that he had hired Gladue for two nights of sex in June 2011.

He testified that he put his fist in her vagina on the first evening. On the next night, after some drinking, he did the same — but she started bleeding.

When she went to the bathroom, he fell asleep, he said.

The next morning he found her body in the tub, he told court. He later called 911.

Barton told the jury the sex was consensual.

The Crown called a medical examiner at the trial, who testified that an 11-centimetre cut to the woman’s vaginal wall had been caused by a sharp object.

The victim’s vagina had been preserved and the

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — Alberta prosecutors are appealing the acquittal of an Ontario trucker charged with murder in a case that has sparked protests and calls for justice for aboriginal women across the country.

Rallies were held Thursday in several cities, including Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver, in honour of Cindy Gladue, a 36-year-old prostitute found dead in a bathtub in an Edmonton motel room five years ago.

A jury found Bradley Barton not guilty last month of first-degree murder in her death.

The Crown had argued at trial that Gladue had been cut with a weapon, but the defence attributed the injury to rough sex.

Protesters were calling for an appeal. News that the Crown had filed a request for a second trial came just before about 300 people gathered for a rally and march outside the Edmonton courthouse.

Gina Degerness said she was happy about the appeal and wanted to show support for Gladue and her

medical expert used that exhibit as he described the fatal wound to the jury.

It’s believed to be the first time human tissue has been presented as evidence in a Canadian trial, said Barton’s lawyer Dino Bottos. He opposed the use of the body part, arguing that it was too disturbing and would inflame the jury.

The Crown said it was important for the jury to see and added that some autopsy photos were not as clear as they could have been.

Critics have said the use of Gladue’s tissue at trial was disrespectful and hope it won’t be used as evidence if there is another trial. They’ve also bashed the case because no aboriginal people were on the jury.

Alberta Justice said it couldn’t comment on facts of the case because of the appeal. In a release, Chief Crown prosecutor Michelle Doyle called Gladue’s death “shocking and appalling.”

The Crown’s appeal notice cites mistakes the judge made during his charge to the jury, including his instructions about how Barton could have been found guilty of manslaughter.

“The Alberta court’s ruling recognizes that Alberta’s broad prohibitions on the right to strike of public-sector employees could not stand.”

BRIEFS

Flood prevention projects funded CALGARY — The Alberta government is giving 16 municipalities money to prevent flooding and deal with drought.

Most of the grants will go to municipalities hit hard by the 2013 floods in southern Alberta.

They include Calgary, High River, Nanton and the municipal districts of Bighorn, Pincher Creek and Foothills.

Environment Minister Kyle Fawcett says the money will be used to build flood barriers, upgrade water management infrastructure and help reduce riverbank erosion. The grants will total $500 million over the next 10 years.

Court strikes down labour laws that take away right to strike

EDMONTON — An Alberta court has struck down two provincial labour laws that took away the right to strike for thousands of public sector workers.

Justice Denis Thomas of Court of Queen’s Bench ruled that section 96 of the Labour Relations Code and section 70 of the Public Service Employee Relations Act violate the charter.

Thomas gave the government until April 1, 2016 to rewrite the offending sections.

The Alberta Union of Provincial Employees had challenged the sections, and say the ruling is a victory for government workers.

Union lawyer Pat Nugent says the Alberta government did not oppose the judgement.

In January, the Supreme Court of Canada struck down a controversial Saskatchewan law that prevented publicsector employees from • Bluetooth Handsfree • Mobile Video striking, saying it was unconstitutional.

• GPS Navigation Systems • Remote Starters The high court also • CERTIFIED INSTALLERS gave the Saskatchewan government one year to change its laws.

“The Saskatchewan ruling brought into question Alberta’s legislation, some of which dates back to the 1970s,” said Nugent.

PARENTS: Need resources She said Parent Link is especially helpful for parents who don’t live near family members who could provide support and encouragement.

Innisfail-Sylvan Lake MLA Kerry Towle said she was a young, single mom and understands the difficulties families can face.

“I was an 18-year-old mom. I get it. When you need those resources, they need to be there and they need to there now. And it’s about connections. It’s about networking. It’s about being able to say, ‘I don’t understand why my child does this. How can you help?’ ” Towle said. szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com

FRIDAY, APRIL 3, 2015

No sharp edges on budget We have a sign above the door to our kitchen. A gift from friends, it reads: “Life is too short to drink bad wine.”

I take it to be metaphorical, but my wife is more literal and she will no longer drink the swizzle that comes from my wine lab downstairs.

That edge of particularity now costs us a bit more, due to GREG the 16-cent-perNEIMAN bottle hike in provincial wine taxes in last week’s budget.

Is there anyone out there willing to bet that this increase will morph closer to $1.60 by the time the price stickers are applied to the bottles?

Gasoline, wine and beer — the fluids on which much of Alberta runs — have become more dear since the price of that other vital fluid — oil — has collapsed. But life is too short to get bitter over that.

Rather, we should sample a bit more widely from the budget before we pass judgment on it. But judgment is needed, considering we can expect a snap election to be called any day now, as a sort of public ratification for it.

INSIGHT

So what has really changed since Premier Jim Prentice gave the province a long, hard look in the mirror?

For most of us, not a whole lot — at least not immediately.

Alberta’s flat income tax has become slightly inclined. The first $100,000 of taxable income remains taxed at 10 per cent. That about covers the 90 per cent of us.

But any portion of a taxable income over $100,000 to $250,000 will ratchet up to 11.5 per cent by 2018. Taxable incomes of $250,000 and up will hit 11.5 per cent in 2017, and take a one-year bump in 2018 to 12 per cent, before going back down to 11.5 per cent in 2019 — just in time for the next election scheduled by law to follow the snap election we’ll have this year.

If you can believe it, there are critics bemoaning this heartless tax grab.

But once Alberta’s super-rich compares the top income tax rates of the other provinces, I doubt we’ll see an exodus of wealth any time soon.

The new health levy is getting the most ink in discussion of the budget.

While catching up on the news one night this week, I was called to participate in a phone-in “town hall” meeting with the health minister, most likely to discuss the health levy.

I had volunteer commitments right then, so I had to hang up.

But we 90 per centers won’t be suffering much from that new tax levy. After all your deductions, if your taxable

income is under $50,000, you won’t pay any health care levy at all.

Anything over that, up to $70,000 (remember: taxable, not gross income) gets hit with a five-per-cent surcharge — the maximum you’ll pay is $200.

The scale slides up — for a person who has $130,000-plus annual income — with the maximum annual charge of $1,000. Some people pay more than that for a night out to watch one hockey game.

The only improvement I see in this health levy over the last one is that it’s tied to the tax system. Our previous “health care premium” was a separate bill the government spent fruitless millions trying to collect from people who just refused to pay it.

What bothers me more is a change that has slid under the radar so far.

Alberta until now had the most generous tax rebate for charitable donations (between the federal and provincial governments, we used to get back half of what we gave to charities, over $200, at tax time). After 2016, the provincial portion drops from 21 per cent to 12.75 — the rate it was in 2007, when it was last raised.

As a volunteer fundraiser for charities, I used to pitch for donations by telling people that they’d get half their donations back (at least the portion over $200 a year).

In the larger picture, I don’t know how well that worked — the provincial government reports having seri-

ous doubts that raising the deduction helped raise charitable giving.

But it does tell me something about human behaviour and the effectiveness of tax incentives in general. Albertans do give the highest median charitable donations in the country, about $420 a year. But because we have so many millionaires among us, Alberta ranks second last in donations as a portion of median income.

So, I say the biggest lesson here is that people will give what people will give, and tax incentives don’t influence personal generosity all that much.

That argument cuts in several directions. It could also mean that, for instance, businesses decide to invest and work in Alberta regardless of whether the business tax is the 10 per cent or, say, 12 per cent.

A 100 per cent income tax write-off for RSP investments has not created a nation of savers, has it?

A 50 per total tax rebate for charitable donations did not make Alberta charities so well funded they can patch up the shortfalls of the publicly-funded social safety net.

So what makes the government think a two per cent corporate tax hike would totally flatten this province?

But where we live, saying things like that sounds like bad whining. And life’s too short for that.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Long-range perspective missing in Alberta Despite now popular doomand-gloom economic pessimism caused by falling oil prices, now is not the time for handwringing recriminations, downsizing claw-backs, or demoralizing, unproductive, free-for-all firings.

These old strategies are well-known long-term failures, costing much more to remedy when the economic ‘upturn’ begins.

Choice without long-range perspective is short-sighted.

Now is the time for a new, creative direction, mobilizing human resources, putting trained workers into significant, long-term environmental remediation and rehabilitation recovery programs.

What we need now is: (i) tax incentives to businesses hiring for cleanup, replanting and reforestation of the natural wilderness used by oil industry projects; (ii) beginning roadbed construction of a new highspeed rail line from Edmonton to Calgary; (iii) re-investing intellectual energy in solar and wind-generating initiatives.

People working on such progressive projects pay taxes and contribute to teaching us new and productive working strategies.

This is the momentum we

need to keep the economy moving forward, not grinding to a halt, in anticipation of another hoped for oil boom.

With incentives to boost industry interest, along with government investment paybacks, these projects could at first be economically neutral, then eventually, over the long-term, pay back dividends to our provincial economy.

Do you know any provincial politician who can be this kind of innovative, forward-thinking leader? No? Then, maybe the responsibility falls to us, the voters, to create such a political leader and vote her or him into office.

Following the shop-worn political ideology of right-leaning political partisanship has not been a successful provincial political strategy in the last 20 years; instead it has fostered a culture of personal entitlement and self-serving party crossings.

What does it say about the voting public who continue follow this dead horse?

It is time to put our creative ideas into economic environmental leadership, stewardship and forget outdated and useless partisan political ideologies from the 18th century so we can have a province that continues to grow and flourish in a rich natural world.

Nenshi takes a kick at cowboy heritage

BY WILL VERBOVEN SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE Naheed Nenshi, mayor of “Cowtown,” is exasperating the very industry that established his city — the cattle business.

This is the same city that brashly exploits its cowboy heritage with its Calgary Stampede.

The target of the mayor’s wrath is a cattle-processing plant just north of the city limits in Rocky View County.

He is demanding a scientific study of noise, odour and air quality that might come from the plant before it is re-opened. His concern is the health and quality of life of the citizens of northeast Calgary, an area he also happens to live in.

This meat processing plant has been there for a number of years and has received the necessary operating permits from Rocky View County.

It processed live cattle for a year, and then processed just carcasses. Now, it is under new management and wants to resume live cattle processing.

The plant has undergone a $20-million retrofit, and there are plans to reduce nuisance impacts to

pre-opening levels. It will also create 300 new jobs, which the mayor neglected to mention.

When the plant was processing live cattle, few complained. And no one noticed when they stopped processing cattle. That may have to do with the fact that the meat plant is located across the road from a sulphur processing plant, which spews emissions into the air through its smokestacks.

Nenshi’s concern about noise is curious. After all, the plant is within sight of the airport, and within earshot of Stoney Trail and Hwy 2. Noise from aircraft landing and taking off and the passing by of thousands of vehicles could drown out a bomb going off in the area, never mind a few mooing cattle.

The city has a long and negative history with this facility. Initially, the city tried to block this plant from being built at all — but the original builders decided to relocate just across the city limits. Then, when the city refused to connect the plant to city water, the builders thwarted them by putting in a water line from an irrigation canal.

One almost hopes a study is done on northeast Calgary air quality — local citizens might be shocked to find they are living in a haze of carbon monoxide and sulphur fumes.

The mayor isn’t writing letters of protest to anyone about those pollutants. That causes one to wonder if there have been scientific studies done on other noise and odour-producing businesses in Calgary and the effect on area residents.

People in the northeast aren’t the only ones living near industrial activity. Livestock — including poultry — are processed in other facilities within Calgary’s city limits. The city has foundries and landfills within sight of residential neighbourhoods. What about those poor, long-suffering citizens?

One would hope that Nenshi would have some understanding of the cattle industry and see that the marketing and processing of cattle is critical. Steaks don’t grow magically at the local grocery store; they come from meat-processing facilities like the one he wants to block from opening.

How can Nenshi, in good conscience, speak every year, since becoming mayor, at the Old Time Range Men’s Dinner — the annual gathering of Alberta’s ranching industry establishment? At that event, he expounds on the positive contribution of the cattle industry to Calgary’s economy and history.

Warplanes preparing to extend bombing campaign ‘FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE, OPERATIONS IN SYRIA ARE GOING TO BE VERY, VERY CLOSE TO THOSE OVER IRAQ IN TERMS OF HOW WE MITIGATE THREATS.’

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

Killing of gunman justified: report

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — An independent report into the Oct. 22 storming of Parliament Hill concludes security forces were justified in using lethal force against gunman Michael Zehaf Bibeau.

The Canadian Press has learned the report contains a very detailed account of how Zehaf Bibeau was killed during the response by parliamentary security forces and RCMP members.

On Oct. 22, the Mounties asked the Ontario Provincial Police to conduct an independent, external investigation into the events that took place on the Hill resulting in Zehaf Bibeau’s death.

A week later, House of Commons Speaker Andrew Scheer asked the OPP to expand the investigation to include the actions of the House security personnel.

Scheer’s office said Wednesday it had received the report but, until internal analyses are complete, it would be inappropriate to comment further.

As a result, few details have emerged.

The report was initiated after Zehaf Bibeau fatally shot honour guard Cpl. Nathan Cirillo in the back at the National War Memorial on Oct. 22 and burst into the Hill’s Centre Block before being killed in a hail of bullets near the Library of Parliament.

A source with knowledge of the report said the “comprehensive account” of what took place that day concludes security forces acted appropriately in killing Zehaf Bibeau and that no followup action was recommended with regard to the use of lethal force.

The OPP was also asked to conduct a separate review of the events that took place from Wellington Street, the thoroughfare in front of Parliament Hill, up to the doors of the Centre Block.

The RCMP was responsible for the grounds of the parliamentary precinct.

A6 RED DEER ADVOCATE Friday, April 3, 2015 Neil Bantleman has been in jail since last July when he was arrested along with a teaching assistant.

“Today is completely a miscarriage of justice,” Bantleman told The Associated Press. “I’ll keep fighting.”

The three-judge panel also ordered Bantleman, 45, to pay a fine of nearly $10,000 or serve six additional months in jail.

“The defendant has deliberately committed violence and obscene acts,” the judges said in their verdict.

It was a long day for Bantleman’s wife, Tracy, who was exhausted at its conclusion.

She told The Canadian Press by email that she is both outraged and heartbroken by the decision.

“My husband is innocent,” she said from Jakarta.

“He always has been and always will be.”

She said she will fight the Indonesian justice system and will appeal the decision.

Bantleman’s brother, Guy, said the case has been “shrouded in secrecy.”

“The judge basically threw out every piece of evidence, every witness that the defence put up through the case.”

Suspended senator Brazeau to take the stand at his assault trial: lawyer GATINEAU, Que. — Patrick Brazeau’s defence lawyer presented a photo of the suspended senator’s bare neck to his criminal trial Thursday, an image that allegedly shows red marks and scratches he suffered in the incident that led to his arrest.

The photo was submitted on a day attorney Gerard Larocque also confirmed Brazeau will testify in his own defence against the assault and sexual assault charges, which arose from an incident two years ago in Gatineau, Que. The female complainant, whose identity is protected by a publication ban, has alleged that Brazeau pushed her down some stairs, hit her head into a wall and on a stair, spat on her and sexually assaulted her.

The court has seen several police photos showing bruises and red marks on different parts of the woman’s body.

Brazeau has pleaded not guilty to the charges. He was kicked out of the Conservative caucus shortly after his arrest.

During the first four days of the trial, Brazeau’s lawyer has been gradually trying to present another potential scenario.

Larocque has suggested that the Crown’s main witness — Brazeau’s alleged victim — instigated the physical confrontation that led to his client’s arrest.

He has accused her of striking Brazeau with her hand and a bra.

The woman has denied Larocque’s allegation.

No new passport for Fahmy in Egypt until he is cleared to travel: Nicholson OTTAWA — Foreign Affairs Minister Rob Nicholson was accused Thursday of incompetent, disgraceful conduct for not agreeing to issue Mohamed Fahmy a new Canadian passport while he awaits trial in Egypt.

New Democrat foreign affairs critic Paul Dewar levelled the characterization at the minister as he testified before the House of Commons foreign affairs committee.

The angry words came after Dewar was unable to wrestle a commitment from Nicholson to use his discretion and issue a new passport. The minister reiterated what Fahmy was told in a letter this week from Canadian passport officials, that a new passport will only be issued when a court-imposed travel ban, which is part of his bail conditions, is lifted.

The Canadian journalist is on trial in Egypt on widely denounced terror charges and says he is crippled by Ottawa’s refusal to issue him a new passport while he awaits the outcome of his case.

The 40-year-old’s passport was seized by Egyptian authorities when he was first arrested in December

More charges possible in humansmuggling, prostitution ring: Crown MONTREAL — More serious charges such as gangsterism and human trafficking could be in the works against people arrested in an alleged Canadawide prostitution ring, the Crown said Thursday.

Two more people — Daegun Chun, 46, and Yong Li, 31 — appeared in court to face charges related to the alleged smuggling of more than 500 Asian women into the country for the purposes of trafficking them in prostitution.

Prosecutor Gianni Cuffaro objected to the release of the two Toronto residents, who will return to court Tuesday.

So far, those arrested have been charged with procuring, procuring minors, advertising sexual services and gaining a material benefit from sexual services.

“The proof is overwhelming, very substantial and there are a lot of documents to study,” Cuffaro said outside the courtroom.

“Obviously, the RCMP had to proceed fast in this case, so we deposited the major indictments and there’s still a lot of evidence to study and there might be other accusations in the near future.

“Those accusations would be illegal passing of human beings, trafficking in human beings and gangsterism.”

He did not know when they might be laid.

Ex-mayor Rob Ford to have ‘serious’ surgery to remove cancerous tumour TORONTO — An ailing Rob Ford said Thursday he will undergo intensive surgery aimed at removing a cancerous tumour from his abdomen in May. Following a meeting with his doctors, the former mayor said they had told him the growth had shrunk enough from several rounds of chemotherapy and radiation to operate.

“The good news is they can operate because the tumour has shrunk,” Ford said outside the hospital.

“I’m just lucky to be alive today and I’m just lucky that I’m getting another chance at life.”

Death of five Cree hunters in Quebec fire an ‘unfathomable loss’ CHIBOUGAMAU, Que. — Five Cree hunters from northern Quebec have died in a cabin fire in a tragedy described by the Cree leader as an “unfathomable loss.”

Matthew Coon Come identified the victims as David Jimiken, Emmett Coonishish, Chiiwetin Coonishish, Kevin Loon and Charlie Gunner.

“On behalf of the entire Cree nation, I extend our deepest condolences to the families and to the community of Mistissini who must all now find a source of compassion and strength to endure this terrible tragedy and to support one another in a journey of healing,” Coon Come said in a statement.

“At a time of such unfathomable loss, we can only express our deepest sympathies to the families and pray that the knowledge of the full support of the entire Cree nation will help in some way in providing comfort and easing the terrible pain they are suffering.

“Their loss is a loss for the Cree nation and we mourn with them. Their tragedy is the Cree nation’s tragedy.”

Bill Namagoose, executive-director of the Grand Council of the Crees, said Gunner was a police constable with the Cree nation government.

He also said one staff member lost a brother, while another lost a husband.

Quebec provincial police Sgt. Jean Tremblay said the five were meant to return to Mistissini at the end of March.

Son of diplomat plans not guilty plea in Florida killings TORONTO — The teenage son of a Canadian diplomat accused of being an accessory to murder plans to plead not guilty if formal charges are laid against him, his lawyer said Thursday.

In an interview from Miami, Curt Obront said his client Marc Wabafiyebazu, 15, of Ottawa, had an unblemished past until the incident on Monday that left two people dead, including his older brother Jean.

“This is literally a first time he’s had any contact with the criminal justice system anywhere,” Obront said.

Obront refused to discuss any specifics of the case.

“The case is a tragedy.

Our hearts certainly go out to the families of the teenage victims who tragically lost their lives,” the lawyer said.

“He’s lost his brother.

It’s a difficult time for everybody.”

Wabafiyebazu, who remained in youth custody, has yet to be formally charged, Florida state authorities said.

Rebels third period rally falls short HEAD BACK TO MEDICINE HAT FOR GAME FIVE FACING

BY GREG MEACHEM ADVOCATE SPORTS EDITOR Tigers 5 Rebels 3 The goal that wasn’t and a sloppy, uninspired second-period performance cost the Red Deer Rebels in a big way Thursday night at the Enmax Centrium.

Up 1-0 on an early marker by Haydn Fleury, the Rebels appeared to grab a two-goal lead near the mid-way point of the opening period. But the officials disallowed the goal due to incidental contact, ruling that Rebels forward Brooks Maxwell interfered with Medicine Hat Tigers netminder Marek Langhamer.

Maxwell, in fact, was cross-checked into the Tigers goalie and was never in the crease. Instead of being up two, the Rebels gave up a goal to Cole Sanford with 21 seconds left in the period and then surrendered two more — unanswered — in the middle frame en route to a 5-3 loss to the visitors before 5,946 fans.

As a result, The Tigers took a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven Eastern Conference quarter-final with Game 5 set for Saturday night in Medicine Hat. “It’s a tough thing because Max is driving to the net. He goes to stop and gets pushed from behind and goes into the goalie,” said Rebels GM/head coach Brent Sutter. “I know there’s always that chance it can get called back because of not giving the goalie the ability to make a save. But again, our player is getting pushed into the goalie, too. So it’s a judgement call from the refs and obviously it didn’t go in our favour.”

As good as they were for most of the first period, the Rebels were on their heels in the second. Sutter saw the switch in momentum late in the opening frame.

“The last seven minutes of the first period we just got off track. They started taking the game over from that point and then we didn’t get any of the momentum back in the second period,” he said.

“I just thought we stood around and watched a lot. We weren’t moving our

Red Deer Rebel goaltender Rylan Toth makes a save on a shot by Medicine Hat Tiger Markus Eisenschmid during first period action of game three of the WHL Eastern Conference semi-final at the Centrium in Red Deer on Thursday. feet, we weren’t making plays and we spent a lot of time in our own zone. We had a lot of turnovers and played right into their hands. In the third we got playing again.”

But not before the Tigers made it 4-1 on a breakaway goal by Dryden Hunt just 1:19 into the period.

“It hurt giving up that fourth goal. It’s a four-on-four and they get a breakaway that should never have happened,” said the Rebels boss.

“But we responded to that and had a really good last 18 minutes in the third. We just have to get back to our game and play like we can. Obviously it wasn’t good enough tonight. You can’t play 30 to 35 minutes at this point of the season and expect to win.”

Trevor Cox notched his second goal of the series for the Tigers at 3:09 of the second period, burying a rebound from the low slot, and Steve Owre connected just over seven minutes later, cashing another rebound while parked at the edge of the crease. Rebels netminder Rylan Toth couldn’t be faulted on either goal.

The Rebels battled back following Hunt’s goal, with Conner Bleackley banking a shot off a Tigers skate and past Langhamer at 7:58. Despite being assessed six of nine of penalties in the final frame, the Rebels carried the play — outshooting the visitors 22-8 — and got a short-handed tally from Wyatt Johnson with 24 seconds remaining.

Red Deer won a faceoff in the Medi-

cine Hat end with eight seconds remaining and Toth on the bench, but the puck was drawn out over the blueline. Markus Eisenschmid won a race for the puck and scored into an empty net at 19:59.

“We had a good start to the game, the first 10 minutes,” said Fleury, who scored his first of the series with a point shot following a pass from Presten Kopeck.

“In the third we made a push, but at the end of the day we took some bad penalties and gave up a breakaway goal at the start of the third. You can’t make those kinds of mistakes in the playoffs.”

Nominees named for athletes of the year DAINES, LALOR, SOEHN, SMITH AND PEARMAN UP FOR ADVOCATE FEMALE AWARD

BY ADVOCATE STAFF Rodeo and soccer star Sydney Daines and multi-sport competitor Kelsey Lalor are among the nominees for the Red Deer Advocate female athlete of the year award for 2014.

Meanwhile, the likes of former Rebels standout goaltender Patrik Bartosak and RDC Kings volleyball star Tim Finnigan have been nominated for the male award.

Daines and her horse Flame attended 29 events during the 2014 Canadian Pro Rodeo Association season, winning $14,805 in the process, including a runner-up total of $44,209 at the Canadian Finals in Edmonton. She finished the season with $59,015.83, leaving her third in Canada. She also flourished in soccer, scoring five goals in eight games with the RDC Queens and six in 12 games with the Alberta Major League Red Deer Renegades. She played high school basketball in Innisfail but dropped out because of her other sporting commitments.

Lalor starred with the Lindsay Thurber senior girls volleyball and basketball teams and was also a mem-

ber of the Red Deer bantam AAA baseball team and played for Team Alberta at the Canadian senior women’s baseball championship. She posted a 1-0 pitching record at the senior nationals, along with a .333 batting average, and led the team in RBIs and was third in runs scored as Alberta captured the Canadian title with a 5-0 mark.

Lalor went to suit up with Team Canada at the World Cup in Japan, producing two doubles, scoring five runs and driving in four. She was third on the team in RBIs and runs scored and first in doubles.

Gymnast Kalena Soehn, swimmer Rebecca Smith and speed skater Maddison Pearman are the other female athlete nominees.

Soehn took top honours in the trampoline event of the Canadian championships in Ottawa and was fourth in double mini trampoline (DMT). She also placed 11th in the DMT event of the World Age Group competition in Daytona Beach, Fla., seventh in the individual trampoline and third in the DMT at a Canada Cup meet in Newmarket, Ont., and recorded several wins in provincial meets.

Smith achieved top provincial rank-

ings in 13 events in the 14-year-old division, and recorded a top time national long course ranking in the 50m backstroke and was second in five events, fourth in one and seventh in one. In the short course nationals, she was first in the 50m freestyle, 200m back, 100m butterfly and 100m individual medley, and won numerous medals in provincial meets across Canada.

Pearman, a member of the Canadian junior team, posted two 1,500m distance wins in the Alberta Amateur Speed Skating Association open competition, while placing second (first among Canadians) in the 1,000m, fourth in the 500m (first among Canadians) and ninth in the 500m. In addition, she qualified for the Canadian junior team by finishing second overall in the nationals, then attended the Junior World Cup and placed fourth in the 500m as the top Canadian, sixth in the 3,000m, seventh in the 1,500m and eighth in the 1,000m.

Pearman also competed in three Canada Cup competitions in 2014, posting a pair of runner-up placings in one meet and winning the 500m event at another. She was ranked as high as third — in each of the junior 500m and

1,000m events — at year end. ● Bartosak, who enjoyed two and a half outstanding seasons with the Red Deer Rebels of the Western Hockey League, was named an Eastern Conference second-team all-star in March of 2014 after recording a goals-against average of 2.80, a save percentage of .924 and a 33-26-5 record with eight shutouts.

Finnigan, meanwhile, was the RDC Kings leader as the team won the Alberta and Canadian Colleges volleyball titles in 2014. Accordingly, he was named All Conference player and ACAC volleyball player of the year as well as an All Canadian. He was an allstar at both the provincial and national finals, was named RDC male athlete of the year for the second straight year and picked up the Scott Boulders leadership award.

Joining Finnigan and Bartosak as nominees for the Advocate male athlete of the year honours are basketball player Lloyd Strickland, gymnast Keegan Soehn and Brayden Posyluzny of the Red Deer Titans Track and Field Club.

Blues reach 100 points, clinch playoff spot with win over Flames

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Blues 4 Flames 1 ST. LOUIS — The St. Louis Blues got the fast start they had been craving. A strong finish, too, that launched them into the post-season.

Jaden Schwartz had an early goal and an assist and Jake Allen got light work in net for the Blues, who ended a three-game home losing streak and clinched a playoff spot with a 4-1 victory over the Calgary Flames on Thursday night.

“It’s not fun chasing games all the time,” Schwartz said. “Got the crowd into it early and it was nice to get the first one.”

Paul Stastny, Jori Lehtera and Patrik Berglund also scored for the Blues, who reached 100 points for the third time in four seasons — despite not having top forwards Vladimir Tarasenko and Alexander Steen. St. Louis is in second place in the Central Division with 101 points, two behind Nashville, with five games to go.

“That was impressive to watch from

my end,” Allen said. “It could have been a lot higher score, but their goaltender played great.”

The Blues ended a 10-game, firstperiod goal drought when Schwartz scored his 25th on a backhander at 1:16.

They entered the night just 1-3-2 in their previous six games and needing a victory or a Los Angeles regulation loss to earn their fourth consecutive playoff berth.

“A big deal gets made of it,” Stastny said.

“I think we were just kind of squeezing our sticks too hard. I think we just kind of wanted to get on them.”

Sean Monahan scored his 30th goal for Calgary, with the 20-year-old becoming the youngest player in Flames history to reach that milestone.

“Obviously, it doesn’t mean much right now after a game like that,” Monahan said.

“But I guess putting the puck in the net in this league is tough, so it’s pretty cool to get 30.”

Canada warms up for playoffs with pair of wins at worlds CURLING

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS HALIFAX — Canada’s Pat Simmons warmed up for the playoffs Thursday by earning a pair of round-robin victories at the world men’s curling championship.

He edged Finland’s Aku Kauste 6-5 in the morning and topped Italy’s Joel Retornaz 7-6 in the afternoon at Scotiabank Centre. Next up is an appearance in Friday night’s Page playoff 1-2 game against defending champion Thomas Ulsrud of Norway.

It will be an opportunity for Simmons to avenge his lone loss at the tournament. The victor will also fasttrack right to Sunday’s gold-medal game.

“They’re just a very good team from top to bottom,” Simmons said of the Norwegians. “They make shots and they put the rocks in good spots and they set up ends well. They can play all the shots as well that are necessary. They’re not unlike teams that we would play at the Brier.

“We’re used to that and it’s just a matter of us executing better.”

Simmons and Ulsrud finished tied in first place at 10-1. Norway, which beat Canada 9-3 on Tuesday, will get the top seed and choice of hammer or stones since it won the head-to-head meeting.

Canada opened the scoring against Italy with a pair and exchanged deuces before a blank in the fourth end.

Retornaz pulled even in the fifth but Simmons replied with two more points in the sixth.

Italy put the pressure on with a

deuce in the ninth end but Simmons had the hammer in the 10th and hit a takeout for the one-point win.

Simmons did well to escape the morning draw with a victory. He hit a draw for two in the 10th after Kauste flashed his final throw.

“Two situations where it was nice to have to make a decent last rock,” Simmons said. “That was a good practice I guess for me and they were good team shots. A couple gutty performances and a couple gutty wins.

“It feels a lot better than a couple (losses) going into tomorrow, that’s for sure.”

Norway closed with a 6-4 win over Switzerland’s Marc Pfister. Ulsrud outscored Japan’s Yusuke Morozumi 10-8 in the morning draw.

Sweden’s Niklas Edin (8-3) locked up the third seed and a spot in the Page 3-4 game Saturday with a 7-6 win over China’s Jialiang Zang. Edin beat Scotland’s Ewan MacDonald 11-6 in the nightcap.

American John Shuster beat Russia 6-5 in an extra end to move into fourth place at 6-5. Finland also improved to 6-5 with a 7-5 win over Italy.

The U.S. and Finland will play in a tiebreaker Friday for the fourth seed.

Switzerland dropped a 9-6 decision to Japan in the evening. That left both teams with 5-6 records.

China and the Czech Republic were next at 4-7, followed by Italy and Scotland at 3-8. Russia was last in the 12-team field at 2-9.

Announced attendance in the morning was 1,712 at the 10,500-seat venue.

Attendance was 2,103 in the afternoon and 1,538 in the evening.

The medal games are set for Sunday. Canada finished fourth at last year’s event in Beijing.

Edmonton Oilers goalie Ben Scrivens, front, falls on the puck as defenseman Nikita Nikitin, upper left, and Los Angeles Kings center Jarret Stoll battle during the second period of an NHL game, Thursday, in Los Angeles. Marian Gaborik and Jeff Carter scored two goals apiece, and the Kings moved up in the playoff chase with an 8-2 victory over the Edmonton Oilers. The defending Stanley Cup champions pulled even with Winnipeg for the second wild-card spot in the Western Conference. Los Angeles also moved one point behind Calgary for third place in the Pacific Division.

Frustrating Finns the last hurdle to final for Canada

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MALMO, Sweden — Finland’s coach said that Canada looked “shaky” in a previous meeting at the women’s world hockey championship, and that could be used as extra motivation by Canada for the rematch.

The two countries meet for a second straight game in Friday’s semifinal.

Canada beat Finland 6-2 to cap the preliminary round Tuesday.

“They were shaky. I’ve never seen them shaky against Finland before,” Pasi Mustonen said.

Canadian head coach Doug Derraugh didn’t bristle at Mustonen’s assessment, however.

“I don’t disagree with that completely,” Derraugh said Thursday following practice at Malmo Isstadion. “I do think we stuck to the game plan really well. We were patient. We didn’t execute as well as I would have liked.”

REBELS: Better job The Tigers’ top forwards were difference makers, with Sanford, Cox, Hunt and Owre combining for seven points.

“For sure, they are tough to play against, but at the same time we have to do a better job on those guys,” said Fleury. “That’s mine and (Kayle) Doetzel’s job to shut those guys down and tonight we didn’t do a good enough job.”

The play of his premier skaters didn’t surprise Tigers head coach Shaun Clouston.

“Sanford has been clutch all year,” said Clouston. “His goal late in the first was a big one. Red Deer got the first goal and got the crowd into it and I thought that was a really important one for us.”

Despite having a chokehold on the series with the next game on their home ice, Clouston insisted it’s not

Canada started slowly Tuesday against Finland and were outshot 6-5 in the opening period. Up 2-1 late in the second, Canada’s attack began to solve Finland’s frustrating defence.

The Finns now engage Canada in all three zones of the ice thanks to some puck-moving defenders. Prior to the 2014 Winter Games, they put all their efforts into defending their half of the ice and hoped for a lucky goal.

But Finland hasn’t abandoned clogging up the middle lane and forcing shooters to the outside.

“For sure it’s frustrating for us,” Canadian captain Marie-Philip Poulin said.

“We had trouble getting into the zone in the first period. We wanted to score right away.

“Patience is going to be key tomorrow. We know they have a great team in the first period and we have to put over yet “You just have to play. Red Deer has a great team and obviously we saw in the third period they’re going to battle hard,” said the Tigers bench boss.

“There’s a lot of hockey left and we just have to make sure we’re ready (Saturday).” ● Toth finished with 38 saves, one fewer than Langhamer, who was particularly strong in the final period . . . The three stars were (1) Sanford, (2) Fleury and (3) Langhamer . . .

Finland has never beaten Canada at the most senior level of international women’s hockey. The closest they’ve come is a 6-6 tie in an exhibition game back in 1999, but they’re capable of keeping the score close into the third period.

Canada needed an empty-net goal to beat them 3-1 at the Four Nations Cup in November. Finland last finished on the world championship podium in 2011 when they won bronze.

“We have a dream. It’s a medal,” Finland captain Jenni Hiirikoski said.

Finland’s star forward Michelle Karvinen will be back in the lineup Friday. She did not play preliminaryround games against either Canada or the U.S. because of the flu, but had a goal and an assist in a 3-0 quarter-final win over Switzerland.

“She’s better off now that she hasn’t played that much,” Mustonen said. “We need a lot of (minutes) from her with this speed we have to play against the

Soehn also competed in Japan and Switzerland and in a Canada Cup meet in Ontario he was first in synchro and second in the DMT and trampoline events.

Derraugh said he’d decided on his starter, but wasn’t revealing her name Thursday. Genevieve Lacasse of Kingston, Ont., made 15 saves against the Finns and 30 in a 4-2 loss to the U.S. to open the tournament.

Piercy holds one-shot lead at Houston Open

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS HOUSTON — After his record-tying round Thursday, Scott Piercy let his thoughts drift toward qualifying for the Masters with a win this week.

Piercy tied a tournament record with a nearly flawless 9-under-par 63 to take a two-stroke lead after the first round of the Houston Open.

“It’s the first round,” he said. “If I’m sitting here Sunday, then I’ll be super-excited. If I (keep playing) like I did today, I would say there’s a pretty good chance of that.”

Alex Cejka, in an afternoon group, made four birdies on his back nine — the course’s front nine — to finish tied with J. B. Holmes at 7-under 65.

Holmes got to 8-under with four holes to play before finding a fairway bunker with his first shot at No. 6. After badly missing the green, Holmes had to scramble for a bogey.

Phil Mickelson, Luke Guthrie, Charles Howell III and Houston’s Shawn Stefani each shot a 66 and trail Piercy by three strokes.

Graham DeLaet of Weyburn, Sask., shot a 67 for a share of eighth place.

Piercy, who made five birdies in a row over one torrid stretch during the middle of his round, became only the fifth player to card a 63 since this PGA Tour stop moved to the Golf Club of Houston Tournament Course in 2003. Two of the others, Mickelson in 2011 and Johnson Wagner in 2008, went on to win the championship.

The 36-year-old Piercy, a pro from Las Vegas, missed only one green in regulation and needed just 26 putts. Two days earlier, however, feeling so discouraged by the way he’d been playing of late that it crossed his mind while he was out grinding on the driving range “to go home and not waste my time.”

Piercy, instead, decided to keep practicing. He wound up hitting golf balls for “12, 13 hours. ... In the 13th hour, something kind of clicked and I kind of figured it out. On Wednesday, I kind of engrained it, kept working and got pretty good. Today was awesome. It really was.”

Piercy was off the PGA Tour for six months last year while recovering from elbow surgery and said he still hadn’t felt quite right before arriving in Houston.

But he liked his form Thursday the moment he first swung his driver. He began the day with a birdie on No. 10 and capped it by sinking a 30-foot birdie

“Everything went right,” said Piercy, who last won on the Tour at the Canadian Open in 2012. “I hit the ball so good. It’s been building. I kept hitting good shot after good shot. By the end, I was (only) trying to make birdies.”

Teeing off 20 minutes before Piercy, Mickelson made himself the early front-runner by chipping in for birdie on his first hole, then turning the corner at 3-under, about the time Piercy began his birdie run.

Mickelson reached 7-under at one point but bogeyed the par-three ninth, his final hole.

Lydia Ko ties Annika Sorenstam’s record with 29th straight round under par

STONY PLAIN — Jordan Jakubow scored twice Thursday as the Blackfalds Wranglers doubled the host Stony Plain Flyers 6-3 in their first game of the Alberta junior B hockey championship.

Bryce Boguski, Jaye Sutherland, Trent Hermary and Andrew McLennan also tallied for the Wranglers, who led 1-0 after one period and were up 3-0 heading into the final 20 minutes.

The Wranglers take on the Peace River Navigators at 1 p.m., today, then wrap up pool play with a 9 a.m. meeting with the Cole Lake Ice at 9 a.m.

Saturday.

The top two teams from each pool of the eight-team tournament — also including Pool A participants Coaldale Copperheads, Calgary Royals Gold, North Edmonton Red Wings and Fairview Flyers — will advance to the semifinals set for 8 and 8:30 p.m.

Saturday.

The third-place game is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. Sunday and will be followed by the championship contest at 2 p.m.

In other games Thursday, Edmonton downed Coaldale 5-2 and Peace River whipped Cold Lake 9-3.

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. — Lydia Ko was in trouble Thursday in the ANA Inspiration. Trying to tie Annika Sorenstam’s LPGA Tour record for consecutive rounds under par, the 17-year-old New Zealander was even par with three holes left and stuck behind five large trees to the left of the seventh fairway.

“It was a pretty nasty place to be,” Ko said.

To escape, she needed to a hit a sweeping, low hook.

She did, with the ball scampering onto the green and stopping pin-high 25 feet to the right.

“I said, ’I’m going to try to hit the biggest hook,”’ Ko said. “It would have probably looked really bad, that swing on camera, but it ended up being OK. ...

I had to hit it low enough and had to hit a slinging hook, so I didn’t end up in the bunker.”

She two-putted for par, then hit a 6-iron to 18 inches on the 158-yard eighth to set up the birdie she needed to get under par. She closed with a par on the par-5 ninth for a 1-under 71 to match Sorenstam’s record of 29 straight rounds under par.

Ko was tied for 10th, four strokes behind firstround leader Morgan Pressel in the first major championship of the season. Pressel won the 2007 tournament to become the youngest major champion at 18 years, 10 months, 9 days.

“I kept the ball in play,” Pressel said. “I was never really in terrible position.”

Ai Miyazato was second at 68, and Hall of Famer Juli Inkster, So Yeon Ryu, Alison Walshe and Gwladys Nocera shot 69. The 54-year-old Inkster won in 1984 and 1989.

“I actually have been hitting the ball fairly well the last couple of weeks and I’ve been out with a bulky putter,” Inkster said. “Today, I made a few putts and I made great par on 16.”

The top six played in the afternoon, long after strong wind tested the morning starters on their opening nines at tree-lined Mission Hills.

Lexi Thompson had a 72 playing alongside Ko in the morning. The defending champion was impressed with her young friend’s recovery shot on No. 7.

“It was an incredible shot,” Thompson said. “I didn’t know she had that kind of shot because she was on an upslope. I didn’t know she could keep it under the trees.”

36 players in the Houston field who are headed to Augusta National next week for the season’s first major, had skidded to a final-round 76 Sunday in the Texas Open.

So, his late lapse here notwithstanding, Mickelson called his effort “a good round, a good start to the tournament. I got off to a quick start, birdieing three of the first four holes, and kept it going.

“The course is in pristine condition. The greens being soft are going to allow us to get more aggressive (aiming for) the pins and make some more birdies. The scores are going to be low” he said. “I’m just glad I was one of them.”

RDC Kings’ Luke Brisbane named ACAC male athlete of the year RDC Kings first-year setter Luke Brisbane has added another title to his resume.

Brisbane, who was the ACAC volleyball player of the year and the CCAA player of the year, was named the ACAC male athlete of the year for all sports.

Except of the first weekend of league play, the Australian Junior National team member played every point of every match in leading the RDC Kings to second place in the ACAC championships and a berth in the Canadian finals.

Injuries cost the Kings at the nationals, as they dropped a 3-2 decision to eventual gold medal winning Camosun in the semifinals.

The six-foot-five Brisbane, who was on the ACAC All-Conference team and a CCAA All-Canadian, was one of the Kings’ leaders despite being in his rookie season with the 2013-14 National champions. He was consistently looking to improve his game and the coaching staff labelled him a sponge when it came to accepting feedback.

He showed his overall talent when he had to consistently adjust to different lineups because of injuries and new additions to the team. Off the court Brisbane fit in well in the classroom, carrying a 3.150 grade point average and earned an RDC athletic/academic excellence award.

NHL SUSPENSION

NEW YORK — If the Winnipeg Jets are going to make the playoffs, they’ll have to do it without Dustin Byfuglien.

The NHL suspended Byfuglien for four games on Thursday for his cross-check to the head of New York Rangers centre J.T. Miller on Tuesday night.

The play occurred late in the second period of Winnipeg’s 3-2 loss to New York. Miller had fallen to the ice near the crease after taking a swipe at a rebound off the pads of Jets goalie Ondrej Pavelec.

The 260-pound Byfuglien looked down at the prone Miller and drove his stick in to the back of the Rangers forward’s head, also falling to his knees.

“Some measure of physicality in front of the net is common and acceptable, particularly when defencemen are attempting to protect their goaltenders,” the league said in a video posted to NHL.com. “In this case, however, Miller is defenceless and out of the play by the time Byfuglien initiates contact.”

The NHL’s Department of Player Safety noted that when Byfuglien delivered the cross-check to Miller, Jets forward Mark Scheifele was already carrying the puck up ice, away from Winnipeg’s net.

The league’s video on the incident characterized the blow as both “dangerous” and being delivered with “excessive force.”

Kentucky looks to do what UNLV couldn’t

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS INDIANAPOLIS — Twenty-four years ago, UNLV arrived in Indianapolis for a coronation disguised as a Final Four.

The Runnin’ Rebels were a college basketball juggernaut. They hadn’t lost all season. In fact, they hadn’t lost for 45 straight games, a streak that started with a run in the previous season to a national championship.

UNLV, led by Jerry Tarkanian, the towel-chewing defensive genius, arrived in Indianapolis needing two wins to become the first undefeated national champion since Indiana in 1976.

This week, Kentucky arrived in Indianapolis for a coronation disguised as a Final Four.

The Wildcats are a college basketball juggernaut.

They haven’t lost all season.

Kentucky, led by John Calipari, a coach who has turned recruiting into an art form, arrived in Indianapolis needing two wins to become the first undefeated national champion since Indiana in 1976.

The Wildcats face Wisconsin on Saturday in the national semifinals. That was the round in which UNLV’s undefeated dreams were dashed by Duke, a team the Runnin’ Rebels had beaten by 30 points in the championship game a year earlier. Duke, which plays Michigan State on Saturday, could get another chance to ruin a perfect run at the title, but that is looking way down a three-day road.

“I’ll never have a group of players like this again,” Tarkanian, who died on Feb. 11, said the night of the 79-77 loss to Duke, a result that stunned the sports world. “You only get a team like this once in your career. This was a very special group of kids.

“I’m just sick,” he said. “It meant so much to these kids. I’m just hurting inside.”

When the game ended, Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski had his own problem. He had to get his team to settle down after the upset because the Blue Devils still had a game Monday night for the national championship.

“I thought all week we had a chance but I wasn’t going to be Joe Namath and say anything like that,” Krzyzewski said 24 years ago. “I thought if we could fight for 40 minutes we could win, not knowing if the kids could handle it. UNLV plays with such ease and we play with so much emotion.”

UNLV won its games by an average of 26.7 points per game. Only two games were decided by less than 12 points, a 7-point win over Arkansas in a 1-vs.-2 matchup and an 8-point victory over Georgetown in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

“I remember in practice, Coach K had us prac-

ticing five against seven, to get used to their speed and their quickness,” Grant Hill, a freshman starter on that Duke team, said Thursday in Indianapolis where he will serve as a game analyst for CBS. “We had a game plan, we’d been in a number of close games, we won some, some we didn’t, but we had that experience, and they had not been in many close games, so our thing was let’s hit them early, let them know we’re here, we’re going to play, and let’s just manage the game and keep it close, and if it’s close, the pressure is going to be all on them. That was our comfort zone, how we played all year.”

UNLV’s starting lineup included first-round draft picks Larry Johnson, Stacey Augmon and Greg Anthony. It also had Anderson Hunt and George Ackles.

All were upperclassmen.

Kentucky’s roster is so deep scuba gear is recommended. Nine outstanding underclassmen who have all committed to ignoring minutes for wins and it’s anybody’s guess how many of them will be firstround NBA draft picks.

Eight of the nine players in the rotation are averaging between 5.6 and 11.0 points per game. Eight players have been Kentucky’s leading scorer in a game this season.

The Wildcats did have three game decided by six or fewer points, but their average margin of victory was almost 21 points per game.

In the Midwest Regional semifinal, Kentucky destroyed West Virginia 78-39. Dominating was an understatement.

“They were what I thought they were,” West Virginia coach Bob Huggins said. “That’s the best defensive team I think that I’ve ever coached against. And when they’re making shots, there’s nobody going to beat them.”

Similar words were spoken 24 years earlier by Arkansas coach Nolan Richardson after the 1-2 matchup when he was asked what it would take to beat the Runnin’ Rebels.

“Play Detroit, the Lakers, one of those teams,” he said. “I’ve only been on the college level 11 years, but they are the best team I’ve ever seen.”

Hill said UNLV of 1991 and Kentucky of 2015 have some similarities, but there are differences.

“You look at the record and that conjures up memories of Vegas,” Hill said. “I don’t think (UNLV) had any close games. Kentucky has been in close games. And if you recall, UNLV had won the year before, killed Duke in the finals, and then they brought everybody back. They were older. They were seniors.

They were upperclassmen. I think that’s one of the differences.

“I’ve heard people say they think Kentucky will lose. I think it’s 70-30 from what I’ve seen that people

I mean, the only people who thought we would win were on our team. I know my parents didn’t think so.”

Winslow aims to keep Duke’s Final Four run going INDIANAPOLIS — Justise Winslow is ready to do everything — if that’s what it takes — to help Duke win a national championship.

Don’t put it past him, either. He’s spent the past four NCAA Tournament games proving he can.

The 6-foot-6, 225-pound forward scores. He rebounds. He can chase guards along the perimeter or play as an undersized 4-man wrestling against bigger players inside.

On a team led by a potential No. 1 overall NBA draft pick in freshman big man Jahlil Okafor, Winslow has been at his irreplaceable best in March — a big reason why the Blue Devils are back in the Final Four for the 12th time under Hall of Fame coach Mike Krzyzewski with a roster of just eight scholarship players.

“I mean, it’s March,” Winslow said this week. “It’s now or never. ... I’m preparing better than ever for the games. I’m just really focused and locked in, and really excited to play.”

This is a case where the numbers say plenty about Winslow’s impact for the Blue Devils (33-4) heading into Saturday’s national semifinal against Michigan State, yet not nearly enough about his value.

An every-game starter, Winslow ranks in the top three on the team in nine different stat categories on the season with his ability to score, rebound, distribute and get to the line.

He’s been even better in the tournament, both at filling statsheets and masking holes on a roster thinned by the dismissal of Rasheed Sulaimon in January. Sulaimon was let go for “unable to consistently live up to” team standards.

Winslow is averaging 14 points, 9.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.8 blocks and 1.5 steals. He’s also shooting 51 per cent from the floor, 58 per cent (7 for 12) from the 3-point arc and 82 per cent (9 for 11) from the line.

Every one of those numbers tops his season average, while Michigan State coach Tom Izzo pointed out that Winslow has been better at putting the ball on the floor, too.

“I’ve enjoyed watching Winslow grow because for some reason I’ve seen his growth more, maybe because I haven’t seen him much in high school,” Izzo said Thursday. “His tournament run right now has been very, very good.”

Winslow’s fit-any-lineup skills allowed Krzyzewski to juggle his starting lineup in February a few weeks after Sulaimon’s departure, moving Winslow from the wing to the 4 over junior Amile Jefferson and

Kings sign Canadian centre Bhullar, becomes NBA’s first player of Indian descent

starting guard Matt Jones.

That has coincided with some of Duke’s best play this season, with Winslow creating matchup problems by stressing defences with his outside shot along with his ability to snatch down a rebound and start the break.

“We just collectively as a team knew we all had to step up each in our individual ways to make up for it,” Winslow said. “There was never anything personal about me having to step up. It was more about as a team we had to come together and we all had to step up our game.”

Senior Quinn Cook has gone up against Winslow in practices. It isn’t fun.

“He’s so strong, so it’s hard to even get the ball when he’s denying,” Cook said. “He’s strong, fast and he knows that. He uses it against us, especially against the smaller guys. I’m glad he’s on my team because I would hate to go against him in a real game.”

But Krzyzewski sees another reason for Winslow’s

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Canada’s Sim Bhullar has become the NBA’s first player of Indian descent, signing a 10-day contract with the Sacramento Kings.

The Kings announced the deal Thursday. The seven-foot-five, 360-pound Bhullar was called up from the team’s NBA Development League affiliate, the Reno Bighorns.

The 22-year-old centre could make his debut Friday when the Kings host the New Orleans Pelicans.

Bhullar was born in Toronto to Indian-born parents and played two seasons for New Mexico State.

He twice won Western Athletic Conference tournament MVP and led the Aggies to back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances.

Undrafted last year, Bhullar joined the Kings in training camp before signing with Reno. He’s averaging 10.3 points, 8.8 rebounds and 3.8 blocks in the Bighorns’ fast-paced system.

Bhullar has 11 double-doubles with Reno this season and had a triple-double with 26 points, 17 rebounds and 11 blocks on February 22 versus the Los Angeles Defenders.

In his two seasons at New Mexico State, Bhullar averaged 10.2 points, 7.2 rebounds and 2.9 blocks in 65 career games. He set a single-season school record for most blocked shots with 85 in 2012-13.

Sacramento is intrigued by Bhullar’s size and heritage. Kings owner Vivek Ranadive is the NBA’s first Indian-born owner and is trying to expand the league’s presence in his native country.

strong late-season play, rooted in lessons learned during a rough stretch in January.

Battling a shoulder injury, Winslow scored a combined 12 points on 4-for-19 shooting in back-to-back losses at North Carolina State then a shockingly lopsided loss to Miami in Duke’s famously hostile Cameron Indoor Stadium.

His play suffered more as he suffered a cracked rib, the lowest moment coming when he went scoreless in 10 minutes against St. John’s on Jan. 25 — the win that gave Krzyzewski his 1,000th career victory.

Ever since, Krzyzewski said, Winslow has been an athlete and competitor “who is becoming an exceptional basketball player.”

“He learned to play not at 100 per cent, where he went on the court and was not fighting an injury but still competing,” Krzyzewski said. “We take for granted that all these kids know all those things, and they don’t. Sometimes that’s the first time you’re injured and how you handle it. But he’s become an outstanding player.”

Condorelli excited to follow in footsteps of Hayden CANADIAN SWIMMING TRIALS

TORONTO — Growing up in Portland, Ore., Santo Condorelli’s knowledge of Canadian swimming began and ended with Brent Hayden.

Condorelli was an aspiring sprinter in the American youth system. Hayden was Canada’s best — a world champion and an Olympic bronze medallist.

“I followed Brent because I knew he was a sprinter, fastest one out there,” Condorelli said Thursday. “So that’s kind of what I’m shooting for. I know it’s big shoes to fill, but that’s definitely my goal.”

The 20-year-old, who holds dual citizenship, won the 100-metre freestyle at the Canadian team trials on Thursday night, touching the wall in 48.83 seconds, making him the first Canadian since Hayden to dip under the 49-second mark.

“It’s pretty exciting, but I know if I want to step up and swim in the big leagues, I’m going to have to go faster than that,” Condorelli said. “But it’s a step in the right direction.”

Condorelli was born in Japan, to a mom from Kenora, Ont., who was there teaching English, and an American dad also employed in Japan. He grew up in Portland.

Two years ago, he declined a spot on the American team for the world junior championships because it would have tied him permanently to the U.S. program. Instead, he e-mailed Swim Canada’s high performance director John Atkinson to say he was keen to compete for Canada. Atkinson was thrilled to hear from him.

“Oh yes, they were (excited),” said Condorelli, who has spent holidays in

Kenora and Winnipeg — he has family in both cities.. “That was also a rewarding thing about it, that they wanted to help out so much.” “(My mom) is super happy that I decided to swim for Canada. It’s an honour to represent family and make them proud.”

Condorelli will make his Canadian debut at this summer’s Pan American Games, in the same fast pool just east of downtown Toronto that saw him clock his personal best time Thursday.

“Oh my god, I think this pool is amazing. I was cruising in there,” Condorelli said. “I’m excited to do it again (in July). First time at the pool I swim my best time, so I can’t wait to see what happens next time around.”

The emergence of Condorelli is good news for a Canadian program that hasn’t seen a world-class men’s sprinter since Hayden retired after the 2012 London Olympics.

The young swimmer’s fast time comes on the heels of a busy college season. Condorelli, a sophomore for the USC Trojans, is among numerous Canadians competing in Toronto only a week removed from the NCAA championships.

Rachel Nicol of Lethbridge, Alta., was a surprise winner in the women’s 100 breastroke, on the heels of a gruelling senior NCAA season for SMU. “It was a very intense season so I came in here not really knowing what to expect at all,” said Nicol. “I didn’t really set any super concrete goals. . .

I’m surprised that I’m honestly doing as well as I am with three meets in a row like that, but for some people it works. I’m really pleased.”

Michelle Wiliams of Toronto won the women’s 100-metre freestyle in a pool she’s come to know well, booking her spot on both the teams for the Pan Am Games and the world championships this summer in Russia.

After graduating from Ohio State last year, Williams moved into an apartment just a two-minute drive — or seven-minute bike ride — from the new Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre.

“I train in this pool every day, and I’ve been thinking about (the Pan Am Games) every session I swim,” Williams said. “I wasn’t sure if I should be

Waiting is the hardest part for Canadian QB Bridge

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS For Canadian Brandon Bridge, the waiting is the hardest part.

With his pro day in the books, Bridge has no workouts or team visits planned leading up to the NFL draft April 20May 2 in Chicago. After a whirlwind off-season that included playing in the NFLPA Bowl and auditioning at the NFL combine before Monday’s workout before 12 league scouts and two CFL representatives in Mobile, Ala., the 23-year-old native of Mississauga, Ont., suddenly has plenty of down time on his hands.

“There is relief the pro day is over but now it’s kind of a stressful time because you sit and wait and don’t know what’s going to go on,” Bridge said during a telephone interview Thursday from Mobile. “You’re waiting for your agent to call and say, ’Hey, you’ve got a workout here.’

“Hopefully some teams call me up and say they want to work me out before the draft. The end is near, it’s like a new beginning but just sitting around waiting for four weeks . . . kind of sucks.”

Bridge is looking to become the first Canadian-born quarterback to go in the NFL draft since ’01 when Ottawa’s Jesse Palmer went in the fourth round to the New York Giants. Prior to the NFL combine in February, Bridge wasn’t projected to be drafted but following his efforts in Indianapolis and Monday in Alabama some football pundits have rated him as a potentialsixth-round pick.

“To hear my name called, that would be a dream of mine,” Bridge

Brandon Bridge said. “There would definitely be an excitement being in the NFL . . . but for me I don’t think it means anything if I don’t really reach that goal (of playing there).”

The biggest knock against the sixfoot-four, 229-pound Bridge this offseason was his footwork, which many felt affected his completion rate last year. On its website, the NFL said of Bridge: “His arm strength is pure NFL, but his lack of functional accuracy simply cannot be overlooked.

“It’s one thing to miss with ball placement just inside or just a little bit high, but Bridge’s throws are all over the map. He puts so much heat on them that his receivers struggle to make successful adjustments. That size, arm and athleticism are definitely traits worth taking a chance on, and Bridge could become an interesting talent down the line if a team is able to get his mechanics and touch where they need to be.”

Bridge says he’s worked diligently on improving his footwork and it seems

to be paying off. The word following his pro day was Bridge had shown improvement in that area over his combine workout in February.

“Obviously there’s still a lot of room for improvement but I thought I did pretty well,” Bridge said. “The NFL is so technical and fundamentally sound that people there don’t really care about a strong arm, they worry about having the fundamentals down pat.

“I think I’m on the rise in that department, I think I can only get better from this point.”

And even if he has no further workouts or visits, Bridge will stay busy right up to the draft.

“I’m going to keep working out, keep training, keep trying to get better,” he said. “I’ll definitely take the feedback I got from my pro day and try to turn the weaknesses into strengths and keep strengths as strengths.”

Bridge began his U.S. college career at Alcorn State before transferring to South Alabama in 2012. He appeared in 11 games last year with the Jaguars, completing 160-of-307 passes (52.1 per cent) for 1,927 yards with 15 touchdowns and eight interceptions. He also ran 297 yards and four TDs. Bridge said his ideal scenario in the NFL would be going to a team with an established veteran starter he could learn from.

“I have no problem with sitting and learning,” Bridge said. “I think it would be good to sit back and watch a veteran do his thing and learn from him.”

excited about it, because I hadn’t officially made it yet, so it’s just a dream come true.

“I also definitely think it’s an advantage for me to be able to train here, and my house is just down the street so it’s pretty nice.”

Other winners Thursday were Richard Funk of Edmonton in the men’s 100-metre breastroke, Luke Reilly of Richmond, B.C., in the men’s 400 individual medley, and Sydney Pickrem of Halifax in the women’s 400 I.M. The Canadian teams for the Pan Am Games and world championships will be announced on Saturday night.

LeBron James moves into 20th place on NBA career scoring list, passes Patrick Ewing

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CLEVELAND — Cavaliers star LeBron James has moved into 20th place on the NBA’s career scoring list, passing Hall of Famer Patrick Ewing.

James scored on a hook shot in the lane with 7:22 left in the first quarter Thursday night against Miami, giving him 24,816 points. The 30-year-old has passed several prominent players this season, including Robert Parrish, Charles Barkley, Allen Iverson and former teammate Ray Allen.

Next on the list is Jerry West with 25,192 points.

James, who came in averaging an Eastern Conference-best 25.7 points per game, is in his 12th season as a pro.

He has averaged at least 25 points in his first 11 seasons, joining West and Karl Malone as the only players to accomplish the feat.

James became the youngest to score 24,000 points on Jan. 16. He entered Thursday’s game having scored at least 10 points in 636 straight games.

RED DEER SETS NEW EARTH HOUR POWER CONSERVATION RECORD

BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF Red Deerians set a new Earth Hour record.

Lights and appliances were flicked off to save 6,529 kilowatt hours of electricity, a 6.77 per cent reduction compared to usage on the same hour and day the previous week.

Between 8:30 and 9:30 p.m. on March 28, residents used 89,892.50 kilowatt hours, compared to 96,421.90 kilowatt hours used on March 22.

That’s the equivalent of turning off close to 505,262 13-watt compact fluorescent light bulbs for an hour.

Last year, residents used 96,763.31 kilowatt hours during Earth Hour, compared to 99,607.54 kilowatt hours the week previous, a 2.85 per cent decrease in usage.

Bailey Doepker, environmental program specialist, said the weather conditions likely played a part in the significant drop in electricity consumption.

She said residents likely did not have their furnaces running or other high-energy appliances working because the weather was nice.

The temperature was about 4C and calm during Earth Hour, compared to -10C (including the windchill) on the same time and day a week before.

“We hope that by powering down and turning off the lights for an hour, people consider making more ener-

gy-efficient choices year-round,” said Doepker. “A small change like this raises awareness about the link between energy reduction and climate change, and hopefully leads to a global impact on the environment.”

On average, Red Deer households used 576 kilowatt hours of electricity each month in 2014. Most households in the province use about 600 kilowatt hours every month.

Jim Jorgensen, the city’s Electric, Light and Power Department manager, said there seems to be a trend emerging where both residents and businesses are trying to use less electricity.

“There does seem like there is an overall decrease in general consumption and a lot of that has to do with technology improvement,” said Jorgensen. “More and more people are switching to LED lights in their houses.

The appliances — the washer, dryers, refrigerators — are the big movers. As that technology improves, you see the results.”

Jorgensen said incremental changes can make a difference.

“It seems we are on a trend of holding the line if not lowering it a bit,” he said.

But as Red Deer grows, Jorgensen added, more businesses and people will be added to the system, resulting in an increase in overall electricity consumption.

He said weather conditions are the obvious driver for electricity use. Residents typically use more electricity in

the winter than the spring and summer. In January 2014, households used 687 kilowatt hours compared to 484 kilowatt hours in June.

Last year, residents used 2.6 million kilowatt hours and businesses used 5.2 million kilowatt hours. The daily average of electricity use was 221,000

kilowatt hours.

Earth Hour began as a lights-off event in Sydney, Australia, in 2007 and has since grown to involve more than 7,000 communities worldwide to encourage a more sustainable global community. crhyno@reddeeradvocate.com

BRIEF Deer Park shooting targeted, police contend Red Deer RCMP are calling a shooting in Deer Park on Tuesday a targeted attack.

No one was injured in the shooting and no one has been arrested.

Police responded at about 10:45 p.m. to a report of shots fired on Denovan Crescent.

They found a vehicle parked in a residential driveway with two bullet holes and evidence that another bullet had ricocheted off its roof. Another bullet was found in the soffit of a residence on the same crescent.

RCMP said they continue to conduct extensive interviews in the area and look for witnesses.

At this point in the investigation, police believe it was a targeted act.

One man who lives in the area said earlier he heard five or six shots that evening but did not see the shooting or shooter.

Anyone with information that may assist the police with this investigation is asked to call Red Deer RCMP at 403343-5575. If you wish to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477 or report it online.

tried in Red Deer Court of Queen’s Bench, after an inquiry. Preliminary inquiries test the strength of the Crown’s case before heading to trial.

Defence counsels Patty MacNaughton and Will Willms entered the elections before Judge Bert Skinner in Red Deer provincial court for their clients, Stephanie Dawn Hughes, 31, and Joseph Daniel Swain, 30. As well, MacNaughton entered a similar election for Paul Morigeau’s client Angie Faye Deneff, 33.

The remaining accused, Amanda Dawn Fox, 31, and Joseph Russell Sinclair, 26, were represented by duty counsel on Thursday. Their election and plea was postponed until April 16 to allow them to seek counsel.

To keep the matter together, all five accused will appear in Red Deer provincial court on April 16.

Rooftop campout raises $17,000 for MD The Red Deer fire-medics’ rooftop campout raised more than $17,000 for Muscular Dystrophy Canada.

The four-day campout surpassed the fundraising goal of $15,000.

Drawing on online donations, local business donations and a curbside boot drive, the fire-medics from station No. 2 were so successful that they have decided to make the campout an annual event. The majority of the money (about $15,000) came through the boot drive, which normally brings in donations of $6,000 to $8,000 for Muscular Dystrophy Canada. An estimated $600 was from online donations and the rest came from local businesses.

The hidden facts from both witnesses and paper accounts are shocking.

The cover name invented to conceal the killings was Sonderbehandlung 14f13.

Sonderbehanddlung means “special treatment;� the 14f denotes prisoners who died in camp; the last two digits state the cause. So 14f14 stood for executions, 14f8 was suicides and 14f13 was death by gas.

Topics such as these are extremely fragile.

But while this is a book on a hor-

This is a book of terrible truths, but it is a book of people who held on to their inner strength, and their stories and sacrifices will touch the hearts readers.

Texts and instant messages becoming more common in literature

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

‘Well this could never happen.’ �

The presence of smartphones in a story has also been a challenge for authors of suspense, notes Joe Hill, whose dark fantasy novel Horns became a 2013 film starring Daniel Radcliffe. “When cellphones became ubiquitous it turned into a huge problem for thriller writers everywhere,� he says. “Because so much of a good thriller often depends on people being cut off

at the cabin in the woods, and it’s becoming increasingly difficult to convince your audience that, in fact, that cabin in the woods doesn’t get any cellphone reception.�

But that also presents an opportunity to create a new type of suspense, he adds.

For instance, in his book NOS4A2, he equipped a kidnapped child with an iPhone but added a supernatural/sci-fi flair to it that ramped up the drama.

TORONTO — Vancouver author John Vaillant’s recently-published novel The Jaguar’s Children begins with a text message, printed all in lowercase: “hello, i am sorry to bother you but i need your assistance. ...�

And so begins a suspenseful story — told entirely through text messages and voice notes from a cellphone — of a Mexican man trapped in a brokendown truck used for human smuggling.

Vaillant says he wrote the story partly in text form because that’s how it popped into his head. But he’s far from alone in using the approach.

More and more literary writers are using texts and other forms of instant or social media messaging — in all their lowercase, abbreviated glory — to depict dialogue in a contemporary way.

And by all accounts, they enjoy it. “The phone solved more problems than it caused,� says Vaillant, noting the cell provided a much-needed light source for his character inside the truck. “It caused a few problems, but it solved more, and it was just kind of a cool constraint to have to work around.�

Toronto-based Miriam Toews says she incorporated text messages into her widely acclaimed novel All My Puny Sorrows partly because it allowed her characters to get in touch longdistance. “It’s kind of fun because there’s misunderstanding there as well with tone and messages cut off,� she says. “It creates a little drama.�

In The Rise and Fall of Great Powers, Vancouver-raised Tom Rachman used Facebook and other social media messages because he likes to write fiction that “really engages with the times,� he says. “I think that any tool that anybody wants to use in fiction, that works, is wonderful. I think if they want to add another arrow to their quiver — if that’s the right metaphor — then it’s great.�

Rachman says he does see a potential danger if such dialogue “becomes sort of gimmickry.� Staying accurate to the times is also a challenge.

Vaillant’s story is set in 2007 and he says he had to do a lot of research on whether cellphones back then “had the capacity to record and how long could you get the battery to last.� “All that stuff I had to work out because I didn’t want to be shot down on page 10 by some techno-person saying,

PED threat remains high

BY ADVOCATE STAFF

PORCINE EPIDEMIC DIARRHEA VIRUS

Alberta pork producers continue to keep the porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED) virus at bay, but disease experts warn that the threat remains high.

Julia Keenliside, a veterinary epidemiologist with Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development, confirmed on Thursday during an Alberta Pork teleconference that no pigs in this province have tested positive for PED. Herds in British Columbia and Saskatchewan have also remained clean, she said, and the number of infected sites in Manitoba have held constant at five.

The importance of vigilance was

illustrated in February, when a Saskatchewan farmer refused to allow a trailer onto his premises because he didn’t think it had been washed well enough. Subsequent testing of the trailer, which had previously been used to carry pigs from Montana, produced a positive test for PED, said Keenliside.

Particularly with current wet, muddy conditions, there is a real danger of transmitting the virus on equipment like trucks and trailers, she said.

Egan Brockhoff, a swine vet and owner of Prairie Swine Health Services in Red Deer, agreed.

“It just takes one little slip, and

we can find ourselves in a really difficult situation with bringing in this disease.”

Brockhoff praised the efforts of Alberta producers in preventing this, including throughout the winter months when the risk of spread was higher.

“It’s remarkable the effort that pork producers and the pork industry has put into this.”

Other areas of Canada, particularly Ontario, have not been as fortunate.

The total number of PED cases nationwide continues to climb and is now up to 100, said Brockhoff. That tally includes only “primary cases,” and

not areas like nurseries and finishing barns where infected pigs have been moved to.

Producers in the United States continue to bear the brunt of PED’s impact, with about 150 new cases per week, said Brockhoff. But the rate of spread is slower than last year, he noted, which reflects improved biosecurity measures and the development of vaccines.

In addition to Ontario and Manitoba, pigs have been infected with PED in Quebec and Prince Edward Island.

Millions of pigs have succumbed to the virus in the United States, with the disease having a nearly 100 per cent mortality rate in very young animals.

Finance Minister Joe Oliver, centre, greets employees at Canada Goose before speaking to the media, where he announced the date of the federal budget, in Toronto on Thursday.

Oliver says federal budget scheduled for April 21

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Falling oil prices have been an unexpected blow to the Canadian economy, but federal Finance Minister Joe Oliver says he will still deliver a balanced budget when it is tabled later this month.

The belated unveiling on April 21 comes nearly a month later than usual.

Oliver blamed the delay on the weakening price of oil, which has dragged expectations away from a previously projected surplus.

“We needed to assess the implications of the dramatic fall in oil prices and its instability on the Canadian economy and on our fiscal framework,” he said Thursday in announcing the date of the budget in Toronto.

“And we needed the time to obtain as much information as possible to make reasoned fiscal decisions and receive current forecasts from our independent economic advisers, whose projections we rely on.”

Usually the federal budget arrives before the end of the fiscal year on March 31, but Oliver was forced to reconsider earlier forecasts when the price of oil began its steep decline.

Opposition parties have been critical of the Conservative government’s decision to delay the budget. Last November, Oliver forecast a budget surplus of $1.9 billion for 2015, but his estimates were based on an oil price closer US$90 a barrel, a figure that has since fallen sharply. The May futures contract closed below US$50 on Thursday.

BRIEF Saskatchewan court upholds ruling against Dene bid to halt oilsands exploration REGINA — The Saskatchewan Court of Appeal has upheld a ruling against a First Nation that wants to halt oilsands exploration on what it calls its traditional territory.

Statistics Canada said Friday that the value of February exports rose 0.4 per cent from the prior month.

“I think they had to rewrite the playbook after the decline in oil prices,” said Bank of Montreal chief economist Doug Porter.

The Conservatives had left themselves a razor-thin margin to balance the budget even before oil prices took a tumble due to the decision to unveil a multibillion-dollar suite of family tax and benefit measures in late October.

Some analysts have predicted the federal government is close to running a deficit for the year, but Porter believes there still could be “a little bit of room to manoeuvre” this year, and even more so in the next few years.

“I still think there is a bit of a cushion for Ottawa to unveil some new measures in this year’s budget,” he said.

Oliver assured that the budget will be balanced and any surplus will be used to pay down debt.

“Balanced budgets are important because, to the extent you have a deficit, that means more money has to go to paying off debt instead of going for important social programs that Canadians want and need,” he said.

Oliver also highlighted external forces, like a fragile international economic recovery, which could put extra pressure on the Canadian outlook.

“Fortunately, the U.S. economic recovery is gathering steam,” he said.

Economists expect a lower oil price will gradually have positive effects on the domestic economy. Already consumers are spending more with the money they’re saving at the pump and Canada’s trade deficit shrank in February as the weaker loonie helped boost export volumes.

Dene Nation’s challenge of exploration permits issued to Scott Land and Lease.

The First Nation had argued the permits were a violation of treaty rights and the policy of duty to consult was ignored.

At the time, the judge in the case ruled there is no duty to consult for exploration permits.

The Buffalo River Dene then filed an appeal.

In a ruling released Thursday Justice J. A. Caldwell dismissed the court action.

Trade deficit narrowed in February: StatsCan

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Canada’s trade deficit came in better in February than expected as it shrank to $984 million, helped by an increase in energy exports.

Statistics Canada said Friday that the value of February exports rose 0.4 per cent from the prior month to $43.5 billion and imports fell 0.7 per cent to $44.5 billion.

However, the improvement was largely due to prices as export volumes fell 3.3 per cent and import volumes slipped 1.7 per cent.

The federal agency also reduced its January deficit estimate to $1.5 billion, from the $2.5 billion reported earlier, as estimates of energy exports and some imports were replaced with updated data.

Economists had estimated the February trade deficit would be $2 billion, according to Thomson Reuters.

“February’s trade numbers were certainly a welcome surprise, although it was largely a price story,” TD Bank economist Dina Ignjatovic wrote in a note to clients.

“Incorporating today’s report, along with other recent data releases, economic activity in the first quarter is likely to be flat.”

February’s exports rose in five of the of 11 sectors tracked, led by energy products, which rose 14.9 per cent, on a 17.5 per cent increase in prices, to $8.8 billion on increases in crude oil and crude bitumen, natural gas and re10, amounts to no more than speculation at this juncture,” he wrote.

“I would find the Crown’s duty to consult has not been triggered in this case at this time.”

The province has said the permits grant the company exclusive rights for exploration, but do not permit access to land or excavation. The First Nation is in a remote area of boreal forest in northwestern Saskatchewan.

fined petroleum energy products.

The increase in energy exports was offset by a 15.1 per cent drop in exports of motor vehicles and parts to $5.9 billion.

Meanwhile, imports fell in seven of the 11 sectors.

Imports of motor vehicles and parts fell 4.7 per cent to $7.5 billion, while imports of industrial machinery, equipment and parts were down 4.3 per cent to $4.5 billion in February.

“While the large decline in export volumes could generate concerns going forward, the monthly data is notoriously volatile and revision prone and, even with the decline in February, export volumes are still 5.5 per cent above their year-ago level,” Royal Bank economist Nathan Janzen wrote.

“We continue to expect non-energy exports in particular to benefit from stronger U.S. demand and a weaker Canadian dollar this year, which will provide a welcome source of offset to expected weakness in the energy sector.”

Imports from the United States were down 1.2 per cent to $29.8 billion in February, while exports rose 1.1 per cent to $32.8 billion, widening Canada’s trade surplus with that country to $2.9 billion in February from $2.2 billion in January.

Exports to other countries fell 1.5 per cent to $10.8 billion in February, while imports rose 0.3 per cent to $14.7 billion, widening the trade deficit with the rest of the world to $3.9 billion in February from $3.7 billion in January.

in proceedings related to the Lac-Megantic train tragedy says relatives of victims could receive their share of a $77-million settlement as early as August. U.S. attorney Robert Keach said today U.S. and Canadian courts still need to approve the plan to disperse roughly $300 million to claimants after the disaster in 2013 that killed 47 people. Keach said if there are no court delays, the families of the 47 victims as well as the relatives of a firefighter who committed suicide after the disaster will begin to receive cheques by August or early September.

The $300 million was cobbled together from nearly two dozen companies, including oil-exploration firms, tank car owners, Irving Oil and Montreal Maine and Atlantic Railway.

The S&P/TSX composite index was up 84.07 points at 15,026.62, while the loonie rose 0.39 of a U.S. cent to 79.59 cents.

In economic news, Statistics Canada said the country’s trade deficit shrank to $984 million in February from a revised $1.5-billion deficit in January, much better than the $2-billion deficit economists had expected.

However, the improvement was largely due to prices as export volumes fell 3.3 per cent and import volumes slipped 1.7 per cent.

Craig Jerusalim, portfolio manager at CIBC Asset Management, said that although the trade figures played a role, the Toronto Stock Market also benefited from encouraging reports from south of the border on factory orders and unemployment.

“The economic numbers in the U.S. have been strong and the U.S. is our largest trading partner, so we’re benefiting from the strength to the south,” Jerusalim said.

In New York, The Dow Jones industrial average climbed 65.06 points to 17,763.24, while the Nasdaq rose 6.71 points to 4,886.94. The S&P 500 index gained 7.27 points to 2,066.96.

The U.S. Labor Department said applications for jobless aid last week fell 20,000 to a seasonally adjusted 268,000, putting jobless claims near a 15-year low of 267,000 filings in late January.

And orders to U.S. factories rose 0.2 per cent in February, the first increase since July, a welcome development for manufacturers struggling with disappointing economic growth in major trading partners like China, Europe and Japan.

On the commodity markets, the May crude oil contract slipped 95 cents to US$49.14 a barrel as traders predicted that a preliminary pact on Iran’s nuclear program could add to the glut of global supply.

“If that situation is worked out then all of a sudden you could see some of Iran’s excess supply being released onto the market and at $50 oil, additional supply is the last thing we really need,” Jerusalim said.

The new rate for a loan-to-value ratio up to 95 per cent is 3.6 per cent, up from 3.15 per cent. For a loan-to-value ratio from 90.01 to 95 per cent, but a non-traditional down payment, the premium climbs to 3.85 per cent from 3.35 per cent.

Financial institutions generally require mortgage loan insurance for buyers making a down payment of less than 20 per cent.

Safety oversight funding due to expire for NEB NATIONAL ENERGY BOARD

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER — Temporary funding for safety oversight programs at the National Energy Board is set to expire as scrutiny of major pipeline projects winds up.

A report from the federal pipeline regulator shows a substantial reduction to staff and planned spending by the 2017-18 fiscal year, which a spokeswoman attributed to the sunsetting of a five-year funding allotment.

The board regulates construction and operation of pipelines and power lines, which includes conducting environmental assessments on projects.

It has been under fire recently for limiting participation at public hearings into the expansion of the Kinder Morgan pipeline between Alberta and Vancouver.

A coalition in Vancouver claims the NEB has violated the charter right to freedom of expression.

It recently launched a challenge asking the Supreme Court of Canada to overturn the board’s decision to limit public participation in hearings.

The NEB’s 2015-16 Report on Plans and Priorities shows that over the next two years the board faces a nearly 24 per cent decrease in planned spending.

Also projected is a 15 per cent drop in full-time equivalent positions, or 73 staff members.

The funding difference from the current fiscal year to the end of the budget projection is more than $18 million.

The report also attributes the spending decline to one-time expenses that won’t continue and a shift in application submissions.

NEB spokeswoman Stacey Squires said Thursday the board instituted a temporary plan for the five-year cash

infusion in association with several large projects including Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline and the Energy East pipeline extension to New Brunswick.

A variety of positions were filled for the added work, from market analysts to inspectors to engineers, but the projected funding decline won’t necessarily equate to job loses, she said.

Squires said it’s too soon to speculate on whether the board will request more funding.

“It would be false to say that we’re not very much live to the need for responsible fiscal management, to use our resources correctly and in an appropriate way,” she said.

“But I don’t think that constitutes a crisis.”

A message in the report from board chair Peter Watson says the plan is released at a critical juncture for the regulator.

“An increasing number of large and highly complex project applications are juxtaposed against the operational realities of legislated time limits, resource constraints and the need for fair, efficient regulatory processes.”

Karen Wristen at the Living Oceans Society said her group is shocked by the budget changes, and she criticized the federal government for cuts to the board’s capacity.

“The management of the process has just been horrendous,” she said.

“The thought that they could continue to manage the number of projects that they’re trying to manage with fewer people and less budget is beyond belief.”

Natural Resources spokesman Alain Caccione said in an email that there are no cuts, and that outcomes of future funding decisions will be reflected in the board’s budget exercises.

It is estimated by scientists at NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies that if biocharring was to be used in a sustainable manner, it could reduce atmospheric CO2, methane and nitrous oxide (N2O), by 12 per cent; other estimates are considerably higher, ranging to 84 per cent.

Biochar made from manure and bones fertilizes soil as it provides a source of potassium and phosphorus, and its porous structure allows it to shelter microorganisms important to the soil.

In acidic soils, where the CEC (cation exchange ratio) is low, biochar attracts the micronutrients and makes it available to plants. Fields of this “dark earth” in the Amazonian basin, which utilized this technique over 500 years

ago, are fertile to this day. Consequently, Japan, is again incorporating biochar into modern farming techniques.

Pyrolysis benefits are not limited to producing biochar, although historically that has been the focus — modern operations produce bio-oil and syngas.

Now, high temperature fast pyrolysis, modified with up-to-date techniques and equipment, produces three to nine per cent more syngas than is required for production.

Farming operations that produce excessive byproducts from their agricultural operations, be it straw from grain operations or manure from livestock operations, as examples, are considered by the Saskatchewan Research Council as prime new sources of fuel and fertilizer.

The blue jays have made their presence with this year’s early spring. This one was seen having lunch in a back yard in Eastview. The blue jay is a resident through most of eastern and central United States and southern Canada, although western populations may be migratory. It breeds in both deciduous and coniferous forests, and is common near and in residential areas.

What’s Remarkable About Red Deer?

Saskatchewan to restrict use of tanning beds to adults this summer

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS REGINA — Saskatchewan is planning to ban young people under 18 from using indoor tanning beds in an effort to help protect youth from skin cancer.

Tanning beds release ultraviolet light to bronze the skin, but the practice is linked to developing skin cancer later in life.

Health Minister Dustin Duncan said the move will help to decrease the risk of melanoma for young people.

“We’ll obviously consult with the industry on this,” he said Monday. “We want to make sure that no operators are caught unintentionally with still providing the service with people they’re not allowed to.”

He said the province will look at regulations in other jurisdictions for guidance.

The Canadian Dermatology Association notes that the World Health Organization classifies tanning equipment as carcinogenic to humans — in the same category as tobacco, arsenic and plutonium.

Saskatchewan is the last province to restrict indoor tanning.

Alberta introduced legislation with a similar goal last week, proposing an age restriction to use indoor tanning beds as well as changes to advertising rules.

The proposed law would also prohibit self-service artificial tanning equipment in public places and tanning salons would be required to post warnings about the health dangers of indoor tanning.

Manitoba allows people under 18 to indoor tan if they have permission from a parent.

Duncan said the government considered that approach, but decided against it.

“They have found that it’s overly bureaucratic to try and put in the parental consent,” he said.

The Saskatchewan government plans to make the changes in time for summer.

Donna Pasiechnik, a spokeswoman for the Canadian Cancer Society in Saskatchewan, said the organization is concerned about the rise of melanoma across the country.

“People who begin tanning under the age of 35 increase their risk of developing melanoma by 59 per cent,” she said. “The combination of education and public policy greatly increases the dialogue and awareness among people about the dangers of indoor tanning.”

She said Australia and Brazil have banned indoor tanning outright and many European countries have youth restrictions.

JESS REIMER HOPES HER SECOND ALBUM, THE NIGHTJAR AND THE GARDEN, CONTAINS SOME OF HER BEST SONGWRITING YET

BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF The beauty of Manitoba’s forests, lakes and grasslands helped inspire Jess Reimer’s latest bluegrass-flavoured album The Nightjar and The Garden.

But despite some fairly bucolic song titles, like Whippoorwill and Blackbird, Reimer clearly doesn’t just sing about the sunny side of life.

An animated video for Reimer’s new song Maggie the Retriever (Bang Bang) tells a dark tale of alcoholism and domestic abuse. Another original track from the release, The Lonesome Death of Troy Davis, is about the lethal-injection death of an African-American man many feel was wrongly convicted of murder.

“I think I’m mostly influenced by what’s happening in my life directly, but also when something triggers my emotions,” said Reimer, who performs on Wednesday, April 8, at Fratters Speakeasy in Red Deer.

Her feelings have been piqued by topics both personal and political. Twohundred-year-old trees being felled for a Manitoba Hydro project (Big Machines, Small Man) and imagined infidelity (Maybelle’s Muse) sparked a couple of original tunes from her 2011 debut record, Sweet Darling and Sorrow.

On her second album, Reimer feels she took everything she’d learned from her first release, and then upped the ante some. “I hope it contains some of my best songwriting yet,” said the singer, who grew up in Thompson, Man. and now lives with her guitar-maker husband and musician in La Riviere, Man. One of her most haunting new tunes is Whippoorwill, about having to make tough choices at a young age. It alludes to the bird as an omen of death

when it sings at night. “It’s supposed to steal souls before they have a chance to move on to the afterlife. I like to believe that’s why Hank Williams and other country artists sang about it,” said Reimer.

“The Nightjar and The Garden also encompasses everything from Patti Smith’s rock ’n’ roll union song People Have the Power, which was given the bluegrass treatment by Reimer, to the original and gospel-infused tune I Want to Believe. There’s also Reimer’s Grand Ole Opry interpretation of Warren Zevon’s Heartache Spoken Here.

The new album was made with vocal harmonies from Juno-Award winning Ron Sexsmith, and production by Blue Rodeo co-founder and keyboardist Bob Wiseman. There are also instrumentals and vocals from Reimer’s father Doug and some mandolin playing from her husband, Jeremy Hamm.

Reimer, who met Wiseman through a musician friend, expressed appreciation for all these contributions.

Although she’s always identified as a country-bluegrass singer, she admitted there’s seldom been a better time to be one.

The popularity of eating locally grown foods, beards on young men, hemp clothing, and even popfolk bands like The Lumineers, show there’s a real back-to-nature movement afoot that’s also embracing roots music, said Reimer.

“It’s fantastic,” she added, noting her new album is not only played by Canadian radio stations, but also by those in the U.S. “It’s gone to No. 5 on Earshot (national campus and community radio) charts.”

The body acting as a stage JUDE GRIEBEL’S SCULPTURES SHOW HUMAN BEINGS SHAPED BY THEIR ENVIRONMENT

BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF Farmyards, compost heaps and oil derricks take on human proportions in the art of Jude Griebel.

The Sundre-based artist actually describes his latest papiermâché and epoxy-resin sculptures as self portraits. And sure enough, a face resembling Griebel’s own grows out of a grain field in his life-sized Jude Griebel creation, Wheat Country — one of his works exhibited in Future Station, the Art Gallery of Alberta’s 2015 Biennial of Contemporary Art in Edmonton.

The two-metre-long sculpture depicts a male figure, lying on his stomach and emerging from a landscape.

A rustic barn sits on one of his legs, while on the other is an oilfield pump jack. The figure’s left hand, covered in prairie grasses, encircles a can of Pilsner beer.

“In my works, the body acts as a stage for scenarios,” said Griebel, whose life-sized sculptures, quite literally, show human beings shaped by their environment.

But when interpreted on a psychological level, his dimensional works suggest something else. For instance, Wheat Country could signify the casual acceptance of industrial activities on farm land.

Griebel said his wheat man sculpture depicts both Alberta’s farming tradition and what’s happening to it.

“It’s where we come from and where we’re going.”

Although environmental concerns are evident in his art, Griebel emphasized his themes are always more personal than political.

Jude Griebel, a Sundre-based artist, describes his latest papier-mâché and epoxy-resin sculptures, including Wheat Country and Feeder, as self portraits.

“The works are more self-critical, as a consumer, than finger-pointing,” said the 36-year-old, who studied at Montreal’s Concordia University, the University of Lapland in Finland, and Vancouver’s Emily Carr University of Art and Design.

Although he started out as a drawer and painter, Griebel was inspired to create more sizable, dimensional works by the “didactic models” used by museums to put conceptual information into more concrete terms — as well as crafty and theatrical papiermâché Halloween costumes he made for himself as a boy.

His organic, homespun creations are the opposite of industrial-themed art. His sculptures often incorporate human hair, wood and other materials, but virtually every component — even

the Pilsner beer can in Wheat Country — is crafted by the artist himself.

His sculpture Accidental Mouth shows the blowing mouth of a wintry visage about to cause a three-vehicle accident. Griebel could have appropriated factory-made Matchbox cars for the piece. Instead, he chose to fashion each diminutive vehicle out of paint and resin.

“I think it’s important to create all the details, so the overall feeling of the piece, all the surfaces, retain the same quality. I’m creating an overall illusion,” said Griebel, who believes it hangs on handmade intricacies.

Accidental Mouth can be interpreted as reflecting the annual havoc Old Man Winter creates on Alberta roads, or it can be viewed as being about social anxiety and the fear of a misspoken

word leading to disaster, said Griebel.

“A lot of my works relate to psychological circumstances. ...”

Composting is another of his sculptures showing at the Art Gallery of Alberta. It depicts a reclining figure made of compost materials with an iPhone in hand. Griebel said the work says something about time spent on cellphones. “It’s a personal criticism of myself as much as anyone else. ...”

But it also brings to mind the many composting heaps seen on rural properties.

While the Ottawa-born artist grew up in Saskatoon, his neurosurgeon father and art conservator mother maintained a link to rural Alberta through a family homestead near Castor.

with nature. For this reason, his artistic themes often centre on notions of unease, transformation, growth, change and mortality.

For the Biennial of Contemporary Art, he also created a separate grouping of five sculptures being exhibited in a storefront window in The Gibson Block flatiron building at 9608 Jasper Ave. The pieces include a sitting figure with the head of a barn and a humanoid oil derrick. The work, collectively titled Feeder, makes a statement about growth and consumption on the Prairies.

“It’s as if the saying ‘you are what you eat’ is taken to a monstrous level,” said Griebel, who lets viewers reflect on their own physical and psychological con-

nections to the natural world.

The biennial exhibition is on in Edmonton until May 3.

Griebel and his brother spent holidays there and formed a childhood attachment to the Prairie landscape.

About a decade ago, Griebel’s parents bought an acreage near Sundre. He maintains a studio on that site, and spends part of the year there working on sculptures. The rest of his time is spent in Germany, where the artist shares studio space, has gallery representation and an appreciative following.

He believes the artloving Europeans are also quite ecological-minded.

Germans are very aware of Canada’s natural abundance and the international controversy over Alberta’s “tar sands,” said (Downtown Co-op Shopping Plaza) Griebel, who’s concerned about global warming and other signs of humankind’s incompatibility

STORY FROM PAGE D1

DAY CARE WORKER CASTING DIRECTOR FACILITY MANAGER FINANCIAL AUDITOR MEDICAL PHYSICIST MUSIC COPYIST CASE MANAGER KINESIOLOGIST

The Fast and the Furious movies have elicited various emotions during their nearly 14 years (so far) of existence.

Those feelings include souped-up Dodge Charger envy, Michelle Rodriguez resurrection confusion and various states of magnificent car collision awe. But this remarkably resilient Vin Diesel-goesvroom-vroom franchise has rarely struck a note of genuine poignancy.

That changes with Furious 7, which unleashes the usual cockamamie car chases and Imax-ready explosions but Paul Walker also earnestly marks the final performance by Paul Walker.

The actor — who plays Brian O’Conner, aka the pseudo-brother/partner-in-crime to Diesel’s Dominic Toretto — died in a 2013 car accident, an event that felt particularly tragic since he was primarily known

side the point. But if you must know: After the loss of a friend and the bombing of his family’s home, Dominic goes on the hunt for the man responsible. That’s Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham), the older brother of bad guy Owen Shaw, who was targeted by Dominic and Co. in Fast & Furious 6.

This Statham vs. Diesel rivalry — which involves brutal fistfights and multiple games of vehicular chicken — could have provided enough fodder for the movie’s narrative. But because Furious 7 screenwriter Chris Morgan and director James Wan (Saw, The Conjuring) believe in going either crazy big or crazy bigger, there is a second, interconnected plot that involves Kurt Russell, the U.S. government’s desire to recover a tracking device dubbed God’s Eye, and the CToretto crew’s involvement in retrieving said device, which forces them to participate in dangerous missions that always begin with Roman (Tyrese Gibson), the franchise’s go-to source of comic relief, saying things like, “I’m all for winging it, but this is crazy!”

Yes, the whole movie feels overstuffed and overlong, and the non-action scenes are often dragged down by stilted dialogue. But Furious 7 buzzes with a frenetic energy so contagious, there’s no sense in resisting it. Like its predecessors, this film has no shame about being its high-octane, gloriously ridiculous self. It’s also not afraid to sentimentally and respectfully honour Walker.

That combination doesn’t make the movie’s more absurd moments seem remotely realistic. But it does give Furious 7 an authenticity deserving of respect.

for a street-racing film series featuring the catchphrase “Ride or die.”

Not surprisingly, the loss of Walker, who had shot a solid chunk of Furious 7 before his death, hovers over much of the movie, particularly during a flashback-filled tribute to the star that gently ruptures the fourth wall between fiction and reality. On more than one occasion, longtime fans might find themselves getting misty.

But more often, it’s their adrenaline, not their tears, that will be flowing. Furious 7 plays to the saga’s over-the-top action strengths, perpetually ratcheting things up a few notches even when it seems like all notch possibilities have been exhausted. In classic Fast tradition, there are ultra-intense fights in which bodies are flung into a dazzling array of glass surfaces; chase scenes in which cars tear through traffic, career down mountain ranges and even parachute-jump out of airplanes; and sequences in which $3 million smart cars leapfrog among a trio of Abu Dhabi towers far taller than the Empire State Building.

Through it all, both Diesel — whose vocal register continues to emanate from somewhere several sedimentary layers below the Earth’s surface — and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson utter lines that rival the ’80s-era output of Arnold Schwarzenegger. When Rodriguez’s Letty asks whether Hobbs (Johnson) is “bringing in the cavalry” to assist in a dire situation, the Rock responds the way only he can: “Woman, I am the cavalry.”

As usual, the plot of a Fast movie seems almost be-

Obituaries

WATTENBARGER Louis Lawrence Nov. 29, 1944 - Feb.27, 2015 Beloved husband, father, Poppa and friend passed away suddenly at the Foothills Hospital in Calgary.

Louis will be remembered and dearly missed by his wife Marilyn; daughter Thirza; sons Dean (Zara), Calvin (Jennifer), Philip (Elizabeth), and Todd (Liza); grandchildren Tianna, Amy, Evelyn, Tamara, Marisa, Luke, Conner, Julia, Katrina, Tristan, Ashley, Brett, Cassandra and Taylor. Twin brother, Larry (Marilynn) and sister Nancy (Bruce) Urbinsky, brother-in-law Mel (Sandy) Chambers, sister-inlaw Diane (Ron) Thomas and Carol Mammel and many numerous friends.

Predeceased by parents Virgil and Samantha Wattenbarger, brother Mel and wife Eileen, sister Ilene Jensen and brother-in-law Don Mammel.

We all share wonderful memories of Louis. He always offered a helping hand to everyone. Louis loved to travel and see the world, whether it was towing the trailer or getting on a plane. Louis spent most of his life as a truck driver and made friends wherever he went. Work took him from Alaska to Oregon, B.C. to Saskatchewan and all points in between. Louis will be remembered as a person who enjoyed life, always positive and shared everything.

A memorial service will be held on April 11, 2015 at the Royal Canadian Legion, 2810 Bremner Avenue, Red Deer, Alberta at 1:30 p.m.

We welcome all who knew him - please come and share your stories with us and with each other. If desired, donations in his honor may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or charity of your choice.
