Helping to heal through art COMMEMORATIVE INSTALLATION TO HONOUR THE LIVES ON MISSING, MURDERED ABORIGINAL WOMEN

BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF Corky Larsen-Jonasson knew three of the estimated 1,200 missing and murdered aboriginal women from across Canada.

And all three had either lived or died in Red Deer.

As a First Nations elder who worked with various social service agencies in this city, Larsen-Jonasson said she got to know one local woman who was recently found murdered in Edmonton.

The body of a second woman she knew was discovered a few years ago in a Red Deer dumpster.

And a third woman she tried to help turned up dead in a farmer’s field near Wetaskiwin.

The last victim was only a teenager.

She had grown up in the foster care system in Red Deer, said Larsen-Jonasson, who estimates the girl was only 17 or 18 years old when her life was cut short.

Remembering Canada’s missing or murdered aboriginal women has become a very personal experience for Larsen-Jonasson, who often feels weighed down by these accumulated tragedies.

“It builds to a point, then I have to release (emotions) through a prayer pipe or a sweat lodge,” she said. “I also have an amazing support system” — including her husband.

But she stressed, “This is not just a First Nations problem.” Many other Red Deer residents also knew these women and need a healing process to find peace and forgiveness.

That’s the aim of the Walking With Our Sisters memorial, which will be at the Red Deer Museum and Art Gallery From June 1 to 21.

They were created in 2013 by friends or relatives of missing mothers, sisters, aunts, or daughters.

Museum volunteer Sheila Bannerman said the unfinished moccasins represent the unfinished lives of the missing women (although the same woman may have been memorialized

more than once by different people).

Some 117 children’s moccasin vamps will also be displayed in memory of children who never returned home from Indian residential schools.

The Red Deer Industrial Institute, operated by the Methodist Church missionary society until 1919, was particularly notorious for having the highest child mortality rate in Canada because

“I suddenly realize that this could happen’ NOTLEY SAYS IT HIT HER A WEEK BEFORE ELECTION THAT SHE’D WIN

BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF His speedskating strength and sailor smarts landed Red Deer’s Peter Martel on the international podium for kiteboarding.

The Canadian kiteboarding champion placed third in Red Bull Ragnarok, an event described as “the biggest and toughest” snowkite competition in the world.

It was held last month on the mountainous plateau of Hardangervidda in central Norway, the same setting used by makers of the Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back film for the ice planet Hoth.

The 28-year-old Martel was the firstever Canadian to place in the top three at the fifth-annual event that attracted 300 kiters from 28 countries. The 100km course was so gruelling, only 14 competitors on skis or snowboards, and harnessed to kite-like sails, managed to complete it.

Martel is “ecstatic” about coming in third after four hours of competition — and is hoping for an even better result next time.

For a while, he was hitting speeds of up to 70 km/hr during the race and thought he had it won.

Martel figures he had a 25-minute lead on his nearest competitor when the wind started dying down. Unfortunately, he’d just passed a pit-stop at which he could have traded to a larger kite to keep his speed up in lower wind conditions.

By the time he completed a lap around the plateau and could secure

couple of tumbles during the race and training, but you learn how to fall,” said Martel. who qualified for the Norway competition by being the top snowboard finisher at Red Bull Kite Farm in Regina. The February event had attracted 100 snowkite-ers on boards and skis from across North America.

“It’s a fast sport, but my mindset is to practise so much that it’s an everyday thing for me,” said Martel.

That’s why he harnesses himself to kites year-round on Sylvan and Gull Lakes.

EDMONTON — Rachel Notley knew a week before voting day that she was going to shatter the Progressive Conservative dynasty and become Alberta’s 17th premier — and it hit her like a punch in the stomach.

She was in a hotel room that WARRACK HAS ADVICE n i g h t o n FOR NDP ROOKIES A3 the campaign trail in Calgary or Lethbridge — she doesn’t remember where — when she saw a new poll that put her NDP team well out in front.

It wasn’t one of those angry-person punch-button polls, but one that was expansive and credible.

Her advisers had handed it to her hours earlier, but only now did she have time to analyse it.

And there it was, shining through lines of impersonal data.

She was going to win.

“I suddenly realize that this could happen,” said Notley in an interview with The Canadian Press.

“My stomach gets very sore and suddenly I go, ’Oh my Lord. We have so much to do.”’

She remembers pacing in the empty suite.

“I had to put my head down and try to go as fast as I could go,” Martel recalled.

“You power-kite as much as you can on the edge of your board. I was constantly on that edge, and I gave it all I had.”

His effort paid off — despite the ever-present danger of wiping out, getting tangled in somebody else’s line, or crashing into another competitor or rocky outcropping.

SISTERS: Take part Visitors will be asked to remove their shoes and walk along the row, said Bannerman.

Women entering the memorial can choose to wear one of the optional ceremonial skirts made for the occasion. There will also be a chance to take part in an aboriginal smudging ceremony.

Bannerman feels this is a very important museum installation because it’s helping Canadians address a huge tragedy. “It’s recognizing the grief that exists about these sisters being lost or missing, and the need to come to terms with this.”

Larsen-Jonasson believes there’s been a growing awareness about the scale of violence against aboriginal women — starting with the deaths along B.C.’s Highway of Tears, the delay in police investigating the missing women who were murdered by serial killer Robert Pickton, and the bodies of several young aboriginal women turning up in Manitoba.

“I see a great awakening,” said Larsen-Jonasson.

In speaking to 150 middle school students about social issues around the violence, she found the youths “are angry about it. They don’t think it’s fair.

“First Nations women — or women, period — are finding their voice,” she added.

“We were told to be quiet, that we didn’t matter.

But we do matter. And we will not be quiet any longer.”

The memorial that’s travelling across Canada until 2020 has already been in Edmonton. The Red Deer museum is the only other Alberta stop, and Bannerman said this city was fortunate to get it only because of a cancellation in Calgary.

She feels Red Deer is an appropriate site for the memorial as “there are a significant number of people here (in Central Alberta) who have lost sisters, aunties, cousins, friends.”

Andrea Lacoursiere, a project co-ordinator at the museum, said aboriginal elders will be on hand to help people who experience a flood of emotions at the memorial.

Another mandated aspect of hosting the Walking With Our Sisters is to have a series of community consultations about the issue of violence against women before the memorial opens.

The last one will be held at the museum from 6 to 8 p.m. on Tuesday. Everyone is welcome to attend. lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

NOTLEY: 53-seat majority What to do? What to do? She dialled up her husband, Lou, and started talking.

The plan had been to run 18 hours a day in the last week of the campaign, then collapse in exhaustion on polling day.

At this rate, Notley feared, the day after the vote Canada would wake up to a frazzled hollow-eyed husk of a new Alberta leader nodding off at the podium.

“You’ve got to talk to your people,” she remembers Lou telling her.

Notley phoned up her campaign director Gerry Scott and told him, “We need to pull out of a bunch of different events and start planning transition.”

It was an election campaign that saw Notley, 51, lead the NDP to a 53-seat majority after the party had only nibbled at the fringes of power for almost its entire history.

The NDP had polled strongly from the beginning, running a family-focused campaign of hiking taxes on the corporations and the wealthy while reinvesting in education and health care.

Premier Jim Prentice and the PCs ran on his budget of across-the-board tax hikes and user fees except on corporations and oil companies. There were cuts to health care and no money for thousands of

new grade school students.

Political analysts said the mid-campaign leaders debate galvanized and crystallized support for Notley. She bested Prentice with one-liners, hammering home key points while rebuffing his attempts to foster fear of the NDP as architects of an economic apocalypse.

It was a bravura performance considering how downright petrified Notley admitted she had been — the glaring spotlight, hundreds of thousands of viewers watching her every move.

“From the time I declared I was running to be the leader of the party ... I was nervous about that night. That was the single biggest thing I was nervous about,” she said.

In the hours before the debate, she drank tea in a friend’s garden to help calm her nerves, but at the studio her stomach was still a stiff knot.

In the days prior, Prentice had focused on trying to blow holes in the opposition Wildrose budget plan.

So Notley’s team realized if they were going to score points, Notley was going to have to fight to be heard.

In the debate run-throughs, key adviser Brian Topp subbed in for Prentice. And as Prentice, he literally turned his back to Notley for long stretches as they rehearsed ways for her to break though.

But on debate night, as the cameras zoomed in, Prentice literally turned his back on Wildrose Leader Brian Jean and attacked Notley instead.

“I’m thinking: ’Way to go, Topp. No one planned for this eventuality? Nice,”’ Notley laughed.

Four days before the vote, five business leaders with Tory ties whom Notley nicknamed “The Monopoly Men,” held a news conference in Edmonton to warn against the NDP and generally bemoan the plight of corporations forever getting the short end of the tax stick.

Notley said she remembered watching the Monopoly Men and thinking, this is it? She said she then realized how profoundly the Tories had misread the electorate.

On election night, Notley, her family, and her advisers were in an Edmonton hotel room while supporters, clad in orange, assembled in the party room below.

Notley practised going through the last few paragraphs of her victory speech, recognizing the contributions of her now-departed parents.

Her father Grant Notley was a one-man Alberta NDP team in the 1970s, keeping the movement alive only to die in a plane crash before the party broke through with 16 seats and official opposition status in 1986.

“We decided to move (the parents’ tribute) to the very end, so if I did choke up, (the speech) was over,” she said.

ter, is a “finesse” sport that requires strength and skill.

As a former speedskater who competed with Red Deer’s Jeremy Wotherspoon, and a long-time sailor (“our parents took us sailing when we were kids,” Martel recalled), he has both core strength and windharnessing knowledge.

The local electrician, who owns the local shop, Element Kite Paddle Surf, first tried kiteboarding in 1999. But he said, “It wasn’t quite there yet, technology-wise.”

Martel tried it again in 2010 when the equipment had greatly improved, and he seriously took to the year-round sport. “I really like the freedom. You use wind, a natural resource, to propel yourself — so it’s just you and the elements. There’s no motor, no gas.

It’s a low carbon footprint,” he said.

“And you get to jump really high!”

Winds gusts can propel Martel 60-feet into the air.

“I don’t tell my mother that,” he added, with a laugh.

Martel said it felt amazing to be the first Canadian standing on a podium next to first- and second-place finishers from Norway and Austria. “I’d like to be a role model for the sport.”

He already receives some gear-related sponsorships, and would like to see kiteboarding really take off someday. “I’d love to do it full-time, as a professional.” lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

Warrack gives NDP rookies some advice

Charles Meier, 5, assembles a Lego truck during a Build a Lego City event at the Red Deer Public Library’s Dawe Branch. Kids were originally invited to piece together buildings and vehicles using a variety of different kits to build a city, however, due to an overwhelming turnout — more than 100 kids spread throughout the library- children were asked to take their creations apart to let another have a chance to build.

BRIEF Rachel Notley ,NDP caucus hold first meeting since election win EDMONTON — Alberta’s premier-designate Rachel Notley and the rest of her caucus met up Saturday for the first time since their historic election win.

“This morning our caucus is meeting to roll up our sleeves and get down to work for the people of our province,” Notley told reporters outside Government House, her entire caucus arrayed behind her.

“Albertans voted for change and they asked our team of new MLAs to do important work, the work of

restoring honesty and integrity and trust to government.”

She noted the province now has a diverse group of caucus members representative of Alberta’s young demographic.

“Albertans have chosen to send people just like them to serve in our new government,” she said.

“We are young parents, we are grandparents, we are business owners and workers. We are nurses and health care professionals. We are students and we are teachers.

“We are people with long accomplished records of elected service and we are people who are new to politics.”

There is no date set yet to swear in Notley as premier as elections officials are still verifying ballots from Tuesday’s election.

The election elevated the NDP to power for the first time in Alberta’s history, closing the door on a Progressive Conservative dynasty that was just shy of 44 years.

EDMONTON — The man who was the youngest member of Peter Lougheed’s first cabinet when the Progressive Conservatives came to power in Alberta has some advice for the NDP’s rookie members of the legislature.

Work hard at learning your job. Trust the public service.

Be ethically clean.

And don’t forget to breathe.

“I felt numb. I could hardly breathe,” Allan Warrack remembers about walking into the legislature in 1971 for the first time.

The Tories had just pushed the Social Credit out the door after 36 years in power.

“On one hand, I was so excited, and on the other hand, disbelieving that this was really happening. I didn’t know where my office would be or any of that stuff.”

Warrack, 77, a retired University of Alberta professor emeritus, says he feels empathy for the political neophtyes who will make that same walk through the legislature’s wooden double doors after the NDP’s majority election win last week that ended the PC dynasty.

He’s already had lunch with Thomas Dang, who, at 20, will be the youngest member of the NDP caucus.

Warrack says he wanted to share with the computer science student what it was like when Warrack was the new kid on the block — a 34-year-old academic who grew up on a farm.

“I said to him, ’You’re young. People will expect you to be a smart-alec, so don’t. Be unfailingly polite to anyone, anywhere, so they can trust you, and say things to you, and help you in ways that they won’t, if they don’t trust you.”’

He also told Dang to meet lots of people, to remember names and to listen carefully to other points of view with an open mind.

Above all, he told him, let absolutely nothing get in the way of your integrity.

“I wanted to catch him right from the get-go before everyone was running over him like a truck.”

Commentators have noted that the incoming NDP government includes many politically inexperienced people including post-secondary students, a former school principal, a flight attendant, a nurse and a yoga teacher.

Warrack says the newly elected Tories heard plenty of criticism when they went from six to 49 seats in 1971. People said they were lucky. People said they were unprepared.

“Much of what you are hearing today.”

He believes new NDP members will do fine if premier-designate Rachel Notley sets out clear, firm rules of conduct and her caucus follows them.

Notley should borrow a page from Lougheed’s playbook and keep cabinet ministers in their posts for a minimum of four years so they can really learn their jobs, Warrack suggests.

He also says ministers should be required to submit pre-signed letters of resignation to Notley so she can dismiss them quickly if they don’t measure up.

Warrack says part of the reason he reached out to Dang is that they are both members of the same fraternity, Delta Upsilon.

Peter Lougheed was also a member.

“I don’t see that much difference between Rachel Notley and Peter Lougheed. That’s a high compliment.”

Citizen scientists on rise One of this year’s most popular Sundance Film Festival entries, Tangerine, was shot with an iPhone 5S and edited with an $8 app called Filmic Pro. New technology has also made music easier to produce and distribute, inspiring independent musicians. Science, too, is now in the hands of citizens around the world.

DAVID From the ocean SUZUKI depths to the outer reaches of distant galaxies, and from projects run out of home garages to research platforms with over a million volunteer contributors, science has never been more accessible to the average person. Citizen science can link people to an established project or encourage those working on their own.

We’re on the cusp of a major revolution in the way we approach environmental science. In February, a water sample showed that the first trace amounts of ocean-borne radioactive contamination from the 2011 Fukush-

SCIENCE

ima nuclear disaster reached North American shores. The sample wasn’t taken from an oceanographic vessel.

It was collected in a 20-litre sample bottle from the public dock in Ucluelet, B.C., by a class of Grade 5 and 6 girls participating in a Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution project that connects concerned citizens from North American communities around the Pacific shores. A decade ago, this type of organizing and sample-taking by engaged citizens would have been inconceivable.

Along with valuable scientific information, citizen scientists also provide significant economic support to science. A paper in the journal Biological Conservation estimates that citizen science has contributed billions of dollars of in-kind funding and even exceeded most government-funded studies over a larger area and longer time period.

Glen Dennison, an electronic technologist during the week and recreational diver and deep-sea researcher on his time off, offers an example of this new way to conduct science. He’s been in B.C.’s Howe Sound mapping sponge reefs nearly every weekend over the past five years, using his own underwater sonar mapping equipment and homemade sewer pipe cameras (cameras housed in a pipe that can be dropped up to 300 metres to the

seafloor). Were the government to undertake this work, it could cost thousands of dollars a day for vessel time and salaries. With assistance from his daughter and a grad student, Dennison has contributed more than $100,000 of his own time and resources to this project. Government researchers have used his maps to better manage sensitive marine ecosystems.

Citizen science is growing in leaps and bounds. Recently, NatureWatch revamped its website and its popular WormWatch, FrogWatch, PlantWatch and IceWatch programs. For the first time in NatureWatch’s 15-year history, people can use phones or tablets to record, submit and view data. Environmental monitoring is happening as people walk to work, go on vacation or even play golf. You never know when you’ll find a frog in a water hazard!

NatureWatch’s website walks people new to science through everything they need to know. Like the girls in Ucluelet, you could even make a scientific discovery. Amateur bee observers participating in the American BeeSpotter program identified bee species thought to have disappeared in some areas. You don’t even need to live in the area you’re observing to record scientific data.

A Minnesota-based volunteer recorded, for the first time ever, a major migration of deep-sea crabs on Cana-

da’s West Coast by reviewing underwater video footage online as part of a program run by Ocean Networks Canada in Victoria.

Just as people who learn first aid are not substitutes for paramedics and doctors, citizen science should never be a justification for cutting government science spending. Governments in countries like the U.S. are funding citizen science programs to amplify the effectiveness of government science programs. The U.S. National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration facilitates 65 citizen science programs alone. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency runs dozens of programs in areas ranging from water quality to air pollution monitoring.

Many citizen science programs are based on the simple notion that more eyes lead to better findings. Whether taking pictures of frogs, recording the state of the ice on a local pond or viewing underwater footage taken from the sea floor, citizen science is making a great contribution to Canada’s scientific knowledge. We’re just beginning to realize the full potential of using technology to connect curiosity and concern for the planet with meaningful scientific pursuits.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Stop dumping garbage on rural land It is spring and now that the snow has melted, evidence of people’s disgusting habit of littering is evident all through Alberta, especially in rural areas.

On Easter weekend, some ignorant, cheap, lazy jerk saw fit to dump two loads of used shingles, complete with plastic and numerous nails, on a lease site on our property east of town. There were old grey and brown shingles plus bits of new grey ones.

If you are a homeowner and paid a contractor money to properly dump your old shingles, these may be yours. You should always ask for receipts or proof of proper dumping when dealing with contractors.

If you are the homeowner and dumped them yourself, shame on you! What gives people the idea that this is an OK practice?

I have seen old appliances, bags of household garbage, furniture and more in ditches and on rural properties, and we have had all of this and more dumped on our land. Why should I have to pick up and dispose of other people’s garbage?

A neighbour told me a great story about his neighbour, who picked through some garbage dumped on his land, found information with the address of the dumper, and returned the garbage to its source.

People at the county office tell me that if we can get a picture of the culprits dumping, complete with their licence plate and submit this to the county, they can charge them.

So fellow rural people, let’s bring out our wildlife cameras and point them at locations where illegal dumping may occur. Let’s give these lowlifes some consequences for their disgusting habits!

Why destroy trees at River Bend?

I have been a pass holder at River Bend for 26 years. During that time, I have watched the golf course mature into a beautiful treed area.

The grounds around the clubhouse were always adorned with beautiful flowers and shrubs.

Over the last few years, flower beds are gone, replaced with pavement, and any remaining beds are not well kept.

Two years ago, some trees were removed, and last year more were removed.

This year, mature trees are being removed by the hundreds — both poplar and spruce. A few of the poplar needed to be removed due to rot, but most were solid.

The trees that upset me the most are 30-to-50-yearold beautiful, mature spruce trees.

I find it hard to think the City of Red Deer, which keeps its trees and flowers so nice, would let this happen to a city-owned area that is so beautiful.

I also find it hard to think the River Bend Society board would agree to this destruction of trees.

It upsets me very much to watch a place I enjoy so much being destroyed.

I am just one of many upset golfers.

CENTRAL ALBERTA’S DAILY NEWSPAPER Published at 2950 Bremner Avenue, Red Deer, Alberta, T4R 1M9

by The Red Deer Advocate Ltd. Canadian Publications Agreement #336602 Member of the Audit Bureau of Circulation Mary Kemmis Publisher John Stewart Managing editor Richard Smalley Advertising director

my five years of attendance there I took part in the French language program. It is an excellent program with excellent instructors. I have nothing but positive things to say in regards to my experience there.

As a Canadian institution, I believe it is incredibly irresponsible of RDC to cut language programs.

For any students hoping to work for the Canadian government, French is essential.

Online languages programs are available, however, it is incredibly difficult to learn a language without the face-to-face communication and the help RDC instructors have to offer their students.

I believe this decision is severely limiting the career options of many students.

Spanish is one of the most common languages spoken in the world, with approximately 400 million speakers worldwide.

A base in Spanish speaking would be beneficial to any student wishing to travel and work abroad, such as in the United States.

A cut to these programs may drastically reduce the numbers of students at Red Deer College. With only a few degree options available, students may choose to attend one of the universities north or south of us with very little hesitation.

Furthermore, a study conducted in 2014 by Li, Legault, and Litcofsky, Neuroplasticity as a function of second language learning: Anatomical changes in the human brain, has discovered significant evidence that second language learning induces brain changes, specifically increased grey matter density and white matter integrity.

Language learning is beneficial in so many ways and it would be a shame to see that option removed from future and current RDC students.

I would strongly recommend Red Deer College decision makers re-evaluate their decision to cut language programs from their institution.

Blame right for galvanizing left Dramatic changes have taken place over the Alberta political landscape these past six months.

For 20 years now, the left spectrum of the political landscape in Alberta was nearly non-existent. As little as three short years ago, the combined vote of the Liberal and NDP parties was less than 20 per cent of the electorate.

What was the thought process? What wisdom was there in the thinking of Preston Manning and Danielle Smith that a “Unite the Right” against a nonexistent left had to be undertaken?

It is certainly interesting to note what they actually started, which was energizing, repopulating and ultimately galvanizing the left that saw this “Orange Crush” wave take over this political landscape.

How Ironic is that! To top it off, Preston Manning, the founding father of socialism in Alberta!

CANADA Some of the government legislation that has yet to pass the House of Commons With less than two months left before Parliament begins its summer recess and with a fall election looming, a number of Harper government bills have yet to be passed by the House. Here’s a look: Bill C-11 The Priority Hirings for Injured Veterans Act is designed to give wounded warriors first crack at public service job openings. The bill has only received first reading in the Commons and still has a long way to go before passage.

Bill C-33 The First Nations Control of First Nations Education Act was introduced with much fanfare, but was put on hold because of loud opposition from the aboriginal community. It’s likely to die on the order paper.

Bill C-35 Quanto’s Law, named for an Edmonton police dog stabbed to death by a suspect in 2013, creates an offence for killing a police, military or service animal. It’s currently before committee.

Bill C-42 The Common Sense Firearms Licensing Act streamlines the rules around firearms licences. It also gives the government the final say on classification of firearms as allowed or prohibited. It is awaiting third-reading debate.

Bill C-48 The Modernization of Canada’s Grain Industry Act provides some extra protections for farmers. It has only received first reading.

Bill C-49 The Price Transparency Act allows the competition commissioner to investigate cases of cross-border price discrepancies. It has only received first reading.

Bill C-50 The Citizen Voting Act seeks to ensure that people voting from outside the country are actually citizens and vote only in the riding where they were last resident in Canada. It is before a committee.

Bill C-52 The Safe and Accountable Rail Act sets minimum insurance requirements for rail freight shippers and was part of the response to the Lac Megantic disaster. It awaits third reading debate.

Bill C-53 The Life Means Life Act would abolish the possibility of parole for certain heinous crimes, including killings of police or prison guards or murders committed during kidnappings, sex assaults or terrorism. It has received first reading.

Bill C-57 The Support for Families Act enacts the new Universal Child Care Benefit. The government wants the cheques to start arriving in July, which means it has to pass into law before the House rises in June. It has only had first reading.

Bill C-58 The Support for Veterans and Their Families Act is billed as offering help for those leaving the military for civilian life and providing improved pension benefits for seriously injured soldiers. It has only had first reading.

Changes to gun licensing system set to pass soon

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — New Conservative legislation that changes the gun licensing system cleared a House of Commons committee last week and is on track to become law before the summer recess — and a likely fall election.

Bill C-42, dubbed the Common Sense Firearms Licensing Act, has drawn sharp criticism even within the sport-shooting community but nonetheless remains grist for Conservative get-out-the-vote efforts, especially in rural Canada.

Ian Avery, president of the Nova Scotia Federation of Anglers and Hunters, said that while “the rhetoric has died down quite a bit” around the gun control issue since the long-gun registry was abolished in 2012, it remains a top concern for the firearms community.

“It is still a vote-mover and it is still a vote-getter for the Conservative party,” said Avery.

The latest legislation has had a somewhat rocky ride.

Introduced last Oct. 7, it was set to be debated in the Commons the day after a lone gunman shot dead a ceremonial guard at the National War Memorial and then stormed Parliament Hill, where he died in a hail of bullets.

Needless to say, it was not an opportune time for a government bill that relaxes some gun licensing measures.

The legislation was quietly resurrected late last month and rushed

IN

BRIEF Toronto man, 51, charged with murder in death of mother of three TORONTO — Police in Toronto say a young girl who returned home from school to find her mother fatally stabbed alerted them to a “despicable and incredibly cowardly” homicide.

Det. Sgt. Steve Ryan says Allen Lascelles, 51, is charged with first-degree murder in the death of 31-year-old Suraiya Gangaram on Friday.

through committee, from which it emerged with only a single, minor housekeeping amendment on Wednesday.

The Conservative House leader’s office says it expects the bill to become law before the summer recess, currently scheduled to begin June 24. An anticipated Oct. 19 election means any unpassed bills this spring will die on the order paper.

MP Robert Sopuck, the chair of the Conservative hunting and angling caucus, said he’s heard the mixed reviews from gun owners but calls C-42 “a very good bill.”

“I think this helps the hunters out a lot,” Sopuck said from his farm just south of Riding Mountain National Park in Manitoba.

The bill removes some of the paperwork and penalties for gun licensing and transportation, provides a sixmonth grace period for lapsed licenses, gives cabinet decision-making power over how guns are classified, makes mandatory gun prohibitions for violent offenders and domestic assaults, and makes it compulsory to pass a firearms course in order to be licensed.

The mixed bag of new measures has Sheldon Clare of the National Firearms Association concerned that the bill, in his words, in some sense increases gun control.

Gun control advocates, meanwhile, argue exactly the opposite, and are especially concerned about relaxed rules governing the transport of firearms and the ability of politicians to

override the RCMP on decisions about which weapons should be restricted or prohibited.

“It’s very small, picayune changes to the legislation, but they could have major impacts,” said Wendy Cukier of the Coalition for Gun Control.

“The fact that it’s being pushed through so quickly without consultation from experts should be really troubling to Canadians.”

Greg Farrant, manager of government affairs and policy for the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters, said there’s huge interest in the firearms community over C-42, which he cautiously characterizes as the next step after killing the gun registry data.

“There’s still a huge segment of the firearms community that thinks the government needs to go further,” said Farrant, although his organization is not among them.

“Does it have the same cachet as the long-gun registry? Perhaps not. But there’s still a very large undercurrent of firearms interest across the country in what’s going on at the federal level.”

Opposition MPs who vetted the bill say it is a naked political move by the Conservative government to put something fresh in the window for its gunfriendly constituency before going to the polls in October.

“They seem determined to jam it through before we rise,” said NDP MP Randall Garrison.

“They’re clearly using it for political purposes.”

Ryan says Lascelles dated Gangaram on and off for two years before the relationship ended in 2014 after Lascelles was arrested and charged with domestic assault.

Lascelles was released in September 2014 under conditions not to contact Gangaram, but Ryan says the two had agreed to meet on Friday so that some property could be returned to him. Police don’t know exactly when the stabbing occurred, but say Gangaram’s young daughter found her mother lying on the kitchen floor and called 911. Ryan says that about 30 minutes after the girl found Gangaram, Lascelles attempted to jump in front of Via train but survived his injuries and is in hospital.

Police released a photo of Lascelles

on Sunday and appealed for witnesses to come forward.

“I don’t want to comment so much on the viciousness of the scene, it’s evidence, but I can say that it was despicable and incredibly cowardly in my view,” said Ryan.

“All of her children are with a family friend.”

Police say Lascelles was not the father of any of Gangaram’s children, who are aged from eight to 14 years old. Investigators are still reviewing surveillance footage of Lascelles’ movements on Friday.

“I’m hoping that we’ll learn of Lascelles’ whereabouts leading up to the homicide and leading up to him hurling himself in front of a train,” Ryan said.

PMO thickens fog of secrecy surrounding residency requirement

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

SENATE

OTTAWA — The shroud of secrecy surrounding the residency requirement for Canadian senators just got a bit thicker.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper has refused to answer repeated oral questions about the process he follows to ensure that an individual meets the constitutional residency requirement for appointment to the Senate.

So NDP ethics critic Charlie Angus figured his best chance at getting an answer lay in placing a written question on the order paper of the House of Commons — a procedural manoeuvre to which the government is obligated to give a detailed response.

No go.

Angus’ question elicited this terse reply from Harper’s parliamentary secretary, Paul Calandra: “The government does not comment on matters before the courts.”

Calandra was referring to the fraud, bribery and breach of trust trial of Mike Duffy, where the suspended senator’s qualifications to represent Prince Edward Island when he lived primarily in Ottawa is a pivotal issue.

“I was pretty shocked (by Calandra’s response) because normally an order paper question is done without political interference, it’s straight-up answers, the government has to respond,” Angus said in an interview.

“They’re actually interfering with the work of Parliament now in order to suppress something that should be a fairly straightforward answer.”

The government’s respect for the courts seems to be selective, Angus added, noting that Harper, his ministers and backbenchers have not been reluctant to comment on other matters before the courts, when it’s suited

their political interests.

For instance, Harper called it “offensive” to cover one’s face while taking the oath of citizenship even as his government launched an appeal of a court ruling allowing a woman to wear a niqab during the citizenship ceremony.

Just last week, Conservatives conveyed their disappointment that a judge had rejected the government’s bid to keep convicted terrorist Omar Khadr behind bars.

The Constitution requires that a senator be resident in the province he or she is appointed to represent.

In his written question, Angus asked about the procedure followed for each of the 59 Senate appointments made by Harper, not singling out or even mentioning Duffy.

He asked if the government verified that each individual met the residency requirement and, if so, to explain precisely how that verification was done.

And he asked the government to produce details of each senator’s residency verification.

The government’s brushoff follows the Senate’s refusal last week to allow an internal review of senators’ residency to be entered into evidence at Duffy’s trial. The upper house has claimed parliamentary privilege to prevent the report being made public but that has been challenged by Duffy’s lawyer.

Other documents filed in court last week suggest that top Conservative senators worked behind the scenes with Harper’s office to kill the internal residency review, prompting senior Senate administrators to threaten legal action if the report was not released.

Transport Minister Lisa Raitt (right) prompts Green Party Leader Elizabeth May to stop her speech and leave the stage at the Annual Parliamentary National Press Gallery, in Gatineau, Quebec, Saturday.

May “very apologetic” about Omar Khadr remarks

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Green party Leader Elizabeth May says she is “very apologetic” about remarks she made on the weekend that included profanity and insulted the federal cabinet about how it has treated Omar Khadr.

May was among party leaders who addressed Parliament Hill journalists and politicians on Saturday night at their annual press gallery dinner.

Usually, party leaders deliver light-hearted, mainly self-deprecating speeches that include the odd barb thrown at the media.

But May went on at length about being the only female leader and having to claw her way into televised leaders’ debates.

Transport Minister Lisa Raitt intervened and attempted to persuade May to end her speech, but instead, May played a recording of “Welcome back Kotter” — a theme song from a 1970s sitcom — and stated that Khadr has “more class than the whole f---ing cabinet.”

In a phone interview on Sunday, a hoarse May expressed her regrets for her taste in jokes, her lack of respect for her parliamentary colleagues and her choice of language.

“I wouldn’t want anyone to think I was less than respectful for the people with whom I work,” May said.

“I apologize that I made an attempt to be funny and edgy....and it didn’t work.”

May said she was just getting over the flu, had put in a 21-hour work day on Friday, and then had to rise early in British Columbia on Saturday morning to make it to the press gallery event in Gatineau, Que. “My funny speech wasn’t funny.

That’s not the first time a politician has done that.”

In the Khadr section of her speech, May said she meant to make the point that Canada is a country that gives people second chances, and that she hopes Canadians welcome him into their midst.

Khadr, a former Guantanamo Bay prisoner, was set free on bail last Thursday despite repeated attempts by the federal government to keep him behind bars in Canada.

Now 28, Khadr pleaded guilty in October 2010 before a widely discredited military commission to five war crimes — including murder in the death of Speer, a U.S. special forces soldier.

Khadr spent almost 13 years behind bars — four of them as a convicted war criminal.

Flames extinguished PERRY’S OT GOAL OUSTS FLAMES FROM PLAYOFFS, SENDS DUCKS TO NEXT ROUND

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Ducks 3 Flames 2 (OT) ANAHEIM, Calif. — Corey Perry scored the winner 2:26 into overtime as the Anaheim Ducks eliminated the Calgary Flames with a 3-2 win in Game 5 on Sunday night.

Matt Beleskey and Ryan Kesler also scored for the Ducks, who advanced to the Western Conference finals for the third time in franchise history and first since winning the Stanley Cup in 2007.

The Ducks got a scare when Perry, who now leads the NHL with 15 points this post-season, was on the wrong end of a brutal-looking knee-on-knee hit from Matt Stajan late in the second period. Perry had to crawl to the bench, unable to put any weight on his right leg, but returned to the bench a few minutes later and received a huge ovation.

Perry earned bigger cheers when he put a Patrick Maroon rebound past Ramo as he was sprawled on the ice to end the game. The Ducks blistered Ramo throughout, and turned up the heat to start overtime, with seven shots in less than three minutes.

Frederik Andersen made 17 saves, while his Flames counterpart Karri Ramo turned away 44-of47 shots.

The Ducks will have home-ice advantage in the next round against the Chicago Blackhawks, which bodes well for the Pacific Division champions. They are 5-0 at Honda Center, thanks in large part to their prowess on both the power play and penalty kill.

After conceding a power-play goal at home for the first time this post-season to open the scoring on Jiri Hudler’s slapshot 10:43 into the first period, the Ducks responded by reclaiming the special teams edge.

Jakob Silfverberg found Kesler for a one-timer blast to capitalize on Joe Colborne’s attempt to put Hampus Lindholm in a sleeper hold, tying the game at 1-1.

The Ducks have now converted on 7-of-19 power plays this post-season, a staggering 36.8 percentage.

The Flames responded 56 seconds later to retake the lead. Gaudreau eventually capitalized on the Ducks’ failure to clear the puck in their own zone, scoring his second goal of the series and fourth of the post-season.

Anaheim Ducks right wing Corey Perry scores the game winning goal past Calgary Flames goalie Karri Ramo during overtime in Game 5 of an NHL second-round playoff series in Anaheim, Calif., Sunday.

Hudler had an assist on the play, as the Flames finally got some much-needed scoring punch from their top line. The combination of Hudler, Gaudreau, and Monahan had accounted for only two goals and one assist through the first four games of the series.

Dennis Wideman added two assists for his second multi-point game of the post-season. He was also effective in helping stifle the Ducks’ dominant offence by blocking nine shots, but it wasn’t enough to stave off elimination.

Rangers hold off Capitals comeback to force Game 7

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Rangers 4 Capitals 3 WASHINGTON — All of 40 seconds into Game 6, Chris Kreider scored for the New York Rangers.

Did it again with all of 0.3 seconds left in the first period.

And after the Rangers nearly let all of a three-goal lead slip away late, Henrik Lundqvist helped them hang on.

Once so close to being out of the playoffs altogether, the Rangers are suddenly a Game 7 victory away from eliminating the Washington Capitals and returning to the Eastern Conference finals.

Kreider got things started with his goals, Rick Nash put his first of the series into the net 54 seconds into the third period, and Dan Boyle tacked on a score that turned out to be vital, helping the Rangers hold on to edge the Capitals 4-3 on Sunday night and even the second-round series at three games apiece.

“We went back on our heels a little bit, and they just kept pushing,” New York centre Derek Stepan said. “Luckily, we had four, because we needed all four of them.”

Sure did.

New York led 2-0 thanks to Kreider — the 24-year-old dynamo out of Boston College with 16 career playoff goals already, including four in this series — then 4-1 with less than 12 ½ minutes left.

“We just can’t put ourselves in that hole,” Capitals forward Tom Wilson said.

But Evgeny Kuznetsov and Joel Ward put the puck past Lundqvist less than 3 minutes apart to make it a one-goal game with nearly half a period to go.

“We’re relentless,” Capitals goalie Braden Holtby said.

So, too, are the Rangers.

The Presidents’ Trophy winners this season and Stanley Cup runners-up a year ago trailed 3-1 in this series and 1-0 with 101 seconds left in the third period of Game 5.

But that’s when Kreider scored to tie it, before Ryan McDonagh won it in overtime.

“We’ve been technically in our Game 7 (mindset) since we were down 3-1,” Boyle said.

After two days off, the teams will wrap things up Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden — a fitting finish for a matchup in which each of the first six games was decided by one goal.

Beleskey set a new Ducks’ post-season record with his fifth straight game with a goal when he redirected Francois Beauchemin’s power-play shot 59 seconds into the third period to tie the game at 2-2.

Notes: The Flames have now lost 22 consecutive games at Honda Center dating back to the 2006 Western Conference quarter-finals. b& Ducks head coach Bruce Boudreau advanced past the second round of the playoffs for the first time in seven career appearances.

Couturier leads Canada to rout over Switzerland

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

Photo by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

New York Rangers defenseman Dan Girardi goes for the puck against Washington Capitals right wing Joel Ward with goalie Henrik Lundqvist during Game 6 in the second round of the NHL Stanley Cup playoffs, Sunday, in Washington.

“Probably not the path, when you’re up 3-1, that you want to take,” Capitals coach Barry Trotz conceded. “We’ve just got to go into sort of the lion’s den, if you will.”

The winner of Game 7 will face the Tampa Bay Lightning or the Montreal Canadiens next. Tampa Bay leads that conference semifinal series 3-2.

“We’re going to come back and win this series,” said three-time NHL MVP Alex Ovechkin, who has zero goals in the past four games.

“We’re going to play our game and we’re going to come back and we’re going to play Montreal or Tampa.”

After Ward’s goal Sunday, New York called timeout. Most of the red-clad fans rose, many screaming “Let’s go, Caps!” and then mockingly singing Lundqvist’s last name.

But the Swedish goalie was solid the rest of the way, stopping Washington’s last four shots — including Ovechkin on a 1-on1 — and surviving a late Capitals power play to finish with 42 saves.

That’s a career high for Lundqvist in a playoff game that didn’t go to overtime.

“He was just a wall back there for us,” Rangers coach Alain Vi-

gneault said. “He closed the door.”

This was the 13th consecutive playoff game involving the Rangers decided by one goal — all 11 this post-season, and two last year — the longest streak in the history of the Stanley Cup playoffs.

They also ended Washington’s five-game home playoff winning streak.

The Capitals hadn’t lost consecutive games in more than two months, but they tend to have trouble closing out post-season series.

And while what’s happened in the past does not guarantee anything in the present, the history of both teams certainly favours New York heading into Game 7.

In all previous series that the Capitals led 3-1, they were pushed to Game 7 four times — and they’ve gone 0-4.

The Rangers, meanwhile, have won nine consecutive home playoff games when facing elimination, and Lundqvist was the goalie each time.

“The game turned from them not having any life at all, to them just being all over us,” said Lundqvist, who became the 18th goalie with 50 playoff victories. “We found a way.”

Canada 7 Switzerland 2 PRAGUE, Czech Republic — When coach Todd McLellan challenged Canada to play better at even strength, Sean Couturier and the fourth line answered the call.

Couturier had a goal and two assists as Canada remained undefeated at the world hockey championship with a 7-2 rout of Switzerland on Sunday.

Couturier and linemates Cody Eakin and Tyler Toffoli were a problem for the Swiss all game, causing turnovers and getting to loose pucks to create three even-strength goals.

Sunday’s win comes a day after Canada struggled to a 4-3 victory over France. McLellan suggested after the game that Canada could improve its five-onfive play.

“As a fourth line, when we get out there we try to keep it simple and create some momentum for the team by forechecking and getting to the puck first, winning battles and creating turnovers,” Couturier said after being named Canada’s player of the game.

“Tonight we capitalized on some chances and hopefully we can build on that and carry that on for the next few games.”

Eakin added a goal and an assist for Canada, while Toffoli chipped in with an assist.

Canada (6-0-0) clinched first place in Group A with the win and will face the fourth-place team in Group B in the quarter-finals.

In other games Sunday, it was: United States 3 Slovenia 1; Czech Republic 4 Germany 2 and Russia 3 Slovakia 2 in overtime. All three winning teams qualified for the quarter-finals.

Tyler Seguin, Nathan McKinnon, Aaron Ekblad, Jordan Eberle and Claude Giroux also scored as Canada used a balanced attack to beat the Swiss.

“It’s nice to be able to score like that as a team,” Colorado Avalanche forward Matt Duchene said.

Morris Trachsler and Damien Brunner scored Switzerland’s goals.

Seguin opened the scoring just 50 seconds into the game with his fifth goal of the tournament. Reto Berra failed to handle a Jake Muzzin shot cleanly and Seguin shovelled the loose puck into the net.

Switzerland drew level on a soft goal at the 6:21 mark. Trachsler put the puck on net from the boards at the goal-line, and the puck fooled Canada goaltender Mike Smith and in to the net.

McKinnon put Canada up 2-1 with 17 seconds left in the second period. McKinnon charged in on the left wing and fired a shot past his Avalanche teammate.

Ekblad extended Canada’s lead to 3-1 when Couturier forced a deep turnover in the Swiss zone and found the young Florida Panthers defenceman in front of the Swiss goal.

Canada essentially put the game away with two goals in the final minute of the second. Eberle made it 4-1 with a power-play goal, putting in the rebound of a Sidney Crosby shot. Crosby’s assist gave him at least a point in every game so far at the tournament.

Eakin extended Canada’s lead to four goals when he put a rebound past Berra with less than a second to go before the second intermission.

Jays drop series finale against Red Sox

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Red Sox 6 Blue Jays 3 TORONTO — Blue Jays knuckleballer R.A. Dickey usually breaks down his campaign into a series of mini-seasons consisting of a few games each.

His current stretch has him looking for answers.

Dickey was burned by two home runs Sunday afternoon as Toronto dropped a 6-3 decision to the Boston Red Sox at Rogers Centre. He lasted six innings but did not record a strikeout for a second straight start.

His knuckleball wasn’t fluttering and dancing like it usually does. Mike Napoli turned on one flat knuckler for a three-run shot in Boston’s four-run first inning as the Red Sox avoided a three-game sweep.

Pablo Sandoval added a two-run shot in the fifth inning as Toronto (1616) had its three-game winning streak come to an end. Dickey, who gave up six earned runs, seven hits and three walks, fell to 1-4 on the season.

“I’m frustrated, very frustrated,” he said. “I’m tired of saying I’m one poor pitch from a good outing, every outing.”

Dickey has gone at least six innings in all but one of his starts this season, but the knuckleball he counts on to get him out of jams has eluded him at times.

“This last three-game stretch has been a very odd one for me,” he said.

“Striking out four guys in three outings is very bizarre for me. So there’s certainly some things I need to take away

from that and try to get better from or figure out why I’m not getting the swings and misses I normally get.”

He plans to spend some time with pitching coach Pete Walker to see if improvements can be made. Dickey’s earned-run average rose from 4.38 to 5.00.

“The thing that I need to do is just get back to working and it’ll turn for me,” he said.

There were a few bright spots on the day for the Blue Jays, who went 4-2 on the six-game homestand. Chris Colabello had three of Toronto’s eight hits and reliever Ryan Tepera pitched two shutout innings in his major-league debut.

“Everything is starting to fall into place,” Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said of the team’s recent play.

“We’re .500 now and it would be nice to start a run here. Reel off a few in a row, it would do wonders. I’m very happy with the homestand.”

Clay Buchholz worked 6 1/3 innings for the Red Sox (14-17) and Koji Uehara pitched the ninth inning for his sixth save.

Buchholz (2-4) walked three in the opening frame before settling into a nice rhythm. He was hampered by a sore ankle but played through it, allowing seven hits and three earned runs while striking out three. It was Boston’s second victory in nine games.

“It’s always good to take home a win, for sure,” said Red Sox manager John Farrell. “For us to come out and score four runs in the first maybe let our guys relax a little bit.”

Tepera, who was called up from triple-A Buffalo on Friday, had one

“I’m kind of at a loss for words actually,” he said. “It was unbelievable.

I’ve dreamed of this for a long time — ever since I was a little kid. It was awesome.”

Announced attendance was 42,419 and the game took two hours 38 minutes to play.

Notes: Before the game, Toronto outfielder Michael Saunders was placed

on the 15-day disabled list with left knee inflammation. Infielder Steve Tolleson’s contract was selected from triple-A Buffalo and right-hander Preston Guilmet was designated for assignment. ... The Blue Jays will kick off a seven-game road trip Monday night against Baltimore. After the threegame series against the Orioles, the Blue Jays will play a four-game set at Houston.

Price, Habs ramp up pressure on Lightning

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

NHL PLAYOFFS

Momentum is in the eye of the beholder.

The Montreal Canadiens clawed back from a three games to none deficit against the Tampa Bay Lightning to make it 3-2. Who has the advantage is now a matter of perspective.

“If we could’ve started the series saying we’re up 3-2 to play an elimination game here at home, I think no matter who had the momentum going into the game, we would’ve loved that opportunity,” Lightning forward Brendan Morrow said.

Likewise, the Canadiens will take the opportunity of playing Game 6 at Amalie Arena on Tuesday, still alive after winning two straight. Coach Michel Therrien is a firm believer that his team is trending the right way after dominating play for the past three games.

“We’re reacting with confidence that we’ll be able to accomplish what we’re supposed to do every game,” Therrien said on a conference call Sunday afternoon from Tampa, Fla. “I know our team’s going to be well-prepared, and the only thing we’re looking for is Game 7 in Montreal.”

After missing two chances to eliminate the Habs, the Lightning face a much different challenge in Game 6 at home.

A week after looking for a sweep, they’re trying to avoid going back to

‘I DON’T LIKE THOSE WORDS OF ’MOMENTUM SHIFT’ OR ’ADVANTAGE’ BECAUSE IT MAKES IT SOUND LIKE IT’S GOING TO BE EASIER. I THINK THIS GAME’S GOING TO BE HARDER AND HARDER, IF ANYTHING. BUT WE APPROACH THESE GAMES LIKE IT’S GAME 7 FOR US EVERY SINGLE NIGHT, AND IT IS BECAUSE IF WE DON’T WIN, IT’S OVER..’

—LARS ELLER MONTREAL CANADIENS FORWARD

Bell Centre.

Along the way their winning streak against Montreal ended at eight, their lead in the series was cut down to 3-2 and Carey Price found his groove.

The Habs’ elite goaltender stopped 46 of 49 shots in elimination Games 4 and 5 for a .938 save percentage after being sub-.900 in his first eight matchups against Tampa Bay this season.

“We’ve had success against Carey Price,” Lightning coach Jon Cooper said.

“So he, to us, is not the mental block just because we’ve played them so many times in the last couple years and we look back and his numbers against the Tampa Bay Lightning are very pedestrian compared to the rest of the teams.”

Price was very good again at Bell Centre on Saturday night but hasn’t yet stolen a game in this series the way he

did to close out the Ottawa Senators in Game 6 of the first round. The Vezina and Hart Trophy finalist stopped all 43 shots he faced to make sure the Habs and Senators didn’t get to a Game 7.

“I think we have all the trust we need in Carey the whole season,” forward Lars Eller said.

“We’re confident that he’s going to give us a chance to win every game, and I’m sure he’s going to do that again (in Game 6).”

Now Price’s job is to help get Montreal back for Game 7 and Ben Bishop’s task is to get the Lightning into the Eastern Conference final. Bishop allowed three goals on 14 shots in Game 4 but other than that has been just as good as Price for the majority of the series.

Morrow said the onus is on him and his teammates to turn up the heat on Price.

“The Canadiens, they’re doing a great job of putting pressure on Bish and making life miserable for him, and we need to do the same for Carey,” Morrow said. “He’s made some big saves, timely saves, for that team. I think we’ve been guilty of making it a little bit too easy for him, as well.”

This looked like it would be an easy series for the Lightning when they won the first two games in Montreal and then took a three games to none lead.

Cooper and players pointed to turnovers as the biggest culprit for loosening their stranglehold on the series.

But they also wouldn’t trade places with the Habs.

“We’re up 3-2, and I’d rather take that than being down 3-2, going into our building,” defenceman Victor Hedman said.

“It really doesn’t matter how you get there. I think it’s a new game come Tuesday. I’m excited the position that we’re in.”

Eller called Montreal’s energy level “as high as it’s ever been.” But as much as Therrien talked about changing momentum, the 26-year-old doesn’t want to look at Game 6 as a piece of cake.

“I don’t like those words of ’momentum shift’ or ’advantage’ because it makes it sound like it’s going to be easier,” Eller said. “I think this game’s going to be harder and harder, if anything. But we approach these games like it’s Game 7 for us every single night, and it is because if we don’t win, it’s over.”

on, Mike. You think you’re good? Nobody has been good with the Leafs, or good enough. If we build this thing the way we want to, it will offer the greatest reward of any job. Sure, our current players haven’t responded well to any coaches, but like you said of the Olympic team, anybody can be taught to check; you need scorers. Imagine if you turned Phil Kessel into Corey Perry. Imagine how good a coach you’d be considered then?

It’s a thin pitch. The restaurants wouldn’t be as good, but the chance at winning is a lot better with Connor McDavid or Jack Eichel. Toronto has a rebuilding core that includes Morgan Rielly, Jake Gardiner, William Nylander, the No. 4 pick, and whatever they can extract from trading their troublesome, big-ticket items. Brendan Shanahan has fought to get patience from the Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment board. He will have to use it.

The Leafs also received permission to speak to Todd McLellan, late of San Jose, who some believe is poised to go to the Oilers; the list likely includes Pete DeBoer, late of New Jersey.

The free-agent coaching pool is an auditorium’s worth of musical chairs, and includes Paul MacLean, Dan Bylsma, maybe Claude Julien, maybe Ken Hitchcock, Randy Carlyle — not for Toronto — Dallas Eakins, and Guy Boucher, who has been coaching in the Swiss League and who is said to be on

a Leafs list. Ideally, Boucher’s trapbased system has been tweaked.

But Babcock is at the top, and Shanahan and company will take a swing.

Shanahan believes Babcock is the best coach in the NHL. He knows that Babcock is known as a difficult man to work with; that he is arrogant, tough, opinionated. He knows that former players still hate their former coach, and he knows that Detroit has found a way to accept Babcock as he is.

The Leafs would, too. But there’s a difference between the best coach and the right coach. It’s fine to swing at Babcock, because his endorsement would signal that when briefed on what Toronto plans, he would be willing to bite the leather strap, if not forever.

But more likely, it would signal that Babcock is in this for money and ego and restaurants — and quite possibly family, to be fair — rather than the central driving focus of his career, and who believes that? LeBron went back to Cleveland because he was going home, sure, but also because they could win. Toronto might win, someday. But no time soon, Babcock or not.

Cavaliers top Bulls with buzzer beater

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO — LeBron James watched his coach draw up the final play — and then drew one up of his own.

“Give me the ball and get out of the way,” he said.

James overruled Cleveland coach David Blatt’s idea for a last-second inbounds play and drained a jumper from the corner at the buzzer to give the Cavaliers an 86-84 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Sunday, evening the Eastern Conference semifinal series at 2-2.

During a stoppage the Cavs only got because the officials were reviewing a play, Blatt designed a play that had James taking the ball out. The four-time NBA MVP has been in enough pressure situations that he vetoed his coach.

“I was supposed to take the ball out,” James said.

“I told Coach there was no way I’m taking the ball out unless I could shoot it over the backboard and go in. So I told him, ’Have somebody else take the ball out.’ The play that was drawn up, I scratched it. I just told Coach, ’Just give me the ball. We’re either going to go into overtime or I’m going to win it for us.”’

James, playing the final quarter on a sprained left ankle, finished with 25 points to help the Cavaliers win in another wild finish, returning the favour after Chicago took Game 3 on Derrick Rose’s banked 3-pointer at the horn.

This time, James got whistled for an offensive foul when he elbowed Mike Dunleavy Jr., and Rose scored on a driving layup with 9.4 seconds left. Blatt tried to call a timeout but didn’t have one and assistant Tyronn Lue alertly pulled him off the court.

Then, following an animated break, James ended it with the 21-foot jumper over Jimmy Butler, setting off a wild celebration by Cleveland’s players who pinned James to the scorer’s table.

Game 5 of the best-of-seven series that’s had about everything is Tuesday night in Cleveland.

James rolled his left ankle in the third quarter, but fought off the injury. He committed eight turnovers and struggled again from the field, hitting 10 of 30 shots after going 8 of 25 in Game 3. But he also had 14 rebounds, eight assists and a shot that gave Cleveland fans some comfort after Rose broke their hearts on Friday night.

“There’s nothing you can do about it,” Rose said of James’ contested jumper. “He hit a great shot. He’s a hell of a player. We just have to make sure that if we’re in that position again, just make sure that we force him out a little bit more or make someone else

get the ball.”

Kyrie Irving, playing with a sprained right foot, was 2 of 10 and had 12 points and two assists.

Timofey Mozgov had 15 points and nine rebounds, and J.R. Smith, who was suspended for Games 1 and 2, came on strong for Cleveland down the stretch, scoring all 11 points in the fourth quarter.

Rose scored 31 points and Butler added 19. They were the only players in double figures for Chicago, which was playing without Pau Gasol, out with a strained left hamstring. His status for Game 5 is in question.

“I thought the last two (games) could have gone either way,” Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said. “They’re hard fought. They’re a great team.”

The Cavaliers went more than 7 minutes without scoring in the third and got a major scare late in the quarter when James rolled his left ankle when stepped on Rose’s foot and was called for a charge.

Blatt had a rough final few minutes, nearly costing the Cavs by trying to call a timeout and then having James change his play call.

“Players make mistakes, coaches make mistakes and we have to be able to cover for one-another,” James said.

Rose hit two free throws with 1:32 remaining to make it 82-79, but he missed a 3 with about a minute remaining after Joakim Noah took a charge against James.

Cleveland’s superstar then hit two free throws to make it a five-point game.

Butler buried a 3 with 27 seconds left to cut it to 84-82.

The Cavaliers called a timeout with 21.2 seconds left and burned two more timeouts trying to inbound it. They finally got the ball to a double-teamed James, who got called for a foul after he turned and swung his elbow into Dunleavy.

Rose drove for a tying layup with 9.4 seconds left.

Blatt tried to call a timeout that he didn’t have, but Lue restrained him, preventing a technical.

“Yeah, I almost blew it, to be honest with you,” Blatt said.

James made sure he didn’t.

TENDER ANKLE James on his ankle: “I wasn’t coming out. I can’t afford to come out, not only because of the position that our team is in but because of who I am as a leader of this team. I was going to fight through it no matter what. That’s why we have a great training staff.

They’ll probably be on me around the clock to make sure my wheel is as close to 100 per cent as possible

by Tuesday.”

Clippers clobber Rockets to take 3-1 series lead

RETT/Advocate staff

The L.V. Rogers Bombers of Nelson, B.C., and the Bishop O’Byrne Bobcats of Calgary went head-to-head during the boys championship match of the Cougar Classic rugby tournament at Notre Dame High School Saturday.

The Bombers cruised to a 24-6 victory. Notre Dame of Wilcox, Sask., downed Raymond 17-12 in the girls final.

The host Cougars teams lost in the bronze-medal games of both the girls and boys divisions.

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Clippers 128 Rockets 95 LOS ANGELES — DeAndre Jordan scored 26 points, surviving Houston’s intentional-foul fest in the first half, and the Los Angeles Clippers won 128-95 on Sunday night to take a 3-1 lead and put the Rockets on the brink of elimination in the Western Conference semifinals.

Jordan made 14 of 34 free throws, attempting an NBA playoff-record 28 in the first half, and had 17 rebounds. Blake Griffin added 21 points, J.J. Redick had 18 points and Chris Paul finished with 15 points and 12 assists in the Clippers’ second straight blowout win in the best-of-7 series.

They can advance to the conference finals for the first time in franchise history with a victory in Game 5 Tuesday night in Houston.

An impish Jordan flashed a grin from the bench in the fourth before turning deadly serious on the video board. By then, the game was all but over and fans began doing the wave in celebration.

James Harden scored 21 points and Trevor Ariza added 18 for the Rockets. Dwight Howard was held to seven points and six rebounds after being in foul trouble most of a game that grinded to a halt early on when Houston started forcing Jordan to the line.

Like they did in Game 3 on Friday night, the Clippers rode another big third quarter to victory, opening with a 29-7 run that extended their six-point halftime lead to 89-61.

Fowler silences critics with win at Players Championship

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — The latest survey was unanimous, not anonymous. Rickie Fowler can deliver the goods.

Facing a five-shot deficit with six holes to play, Fowler produced the greatest finish in the 34-year history of the TPC Sawgrass. In a three-man playoff on three of the most visually intimidating holes in golf, he never backed down.

And when he faced that nervous shot over the water to an island for the third time Sunday, he was as good as ever.

No, there was nothing overrated about this kid.

Criticized in an anonymous survey by some of his peers for not being able to win, Fowler answered with a captivating victory at The Players Championship. At a tournament that dresses up like a major, Fowler looked the part in beating the strongest field in golf with an array of shots that won’t be forgotten.

As for that survey?

“I laughed at the poll,” he said. “But yeah, if there was any question, I think this right here answers anything you need to know.”

It was hard work. He took six shots on the par-3 17th hole, which is not unusual for a Sunday except that Fowler played it three times. And even with the record-setting finish at the Stadium Course — birdieeagle-birdie-birdie on the last four holes for a 5-under 67 — Fowler still had to face Sergio Garcia and Kevin Kisner, who produced big shots of their own.

For the first time, The Players went to a threehole aggregate playoff starting on the par-5 16th, where earlier Fowler hit a 3-wood into the breeze to 30 inches for an eagle that made this moment possible.

They all made pars on the 16th.

Kisner rolled in a breaking 10-foot birdie putt on the island-green 17th to keep pace with Fowler, who hit his tee shot to 6 feet and converted the birdie.

Garcia, who in regulation made a 45-foot birdie to give him new life, failed to repeat the putt from about the same range in the playoff. All three players made par on the final hole, which eliminated Garcia.

Fowler and Kisner, who closed with a 69 and lost for the second time in a month in a playoff, headed back to the 17th hole for the third time. The great shots kept coming. Kisner barely cleared the mound and the ball settled 12 feet away. Fowler answered by taking on the right side of the green and sticking it just inside 5 feet.

Kisner finally missed. It was the second time in

a month that Kisner, winless in 102 starts, lost in a playoff despite making clutch putts.

“Golf is a hard and cruel game,” Kisner said. “But hats off. I mean, shoot, these guys are good, I’m telling you. Don’t give up on anybody.”

Fowler never seemed to miss over the final two hours, and he calmly clutched his fist to celebrate his first PGA Tour victory in three years.

“I’ve been waiting a long time for this,” Fowler said. “Back in the winner’s circle.”

Garcia, who had a two-shot lead heading to the back nine, closed with a 68. He had a 20-foot birdie putt to win in regulation that missed badly to the right. And he faced a crowd that was increasingly hostile to the Spaniard, perhaps remembering the tiff he had with Tiger Woods two years ago.

His caddie was asking for security when he made the turn. In the three-hole playoff, a small group of fans yelled, “USA!” as he took the putter back.

It marred what was other sheer brilliance, a most unforgettable final hour in a tournament that has a history of them.

For Fowler, the timing couldn’t have been better.

One of the questions in SI Golf’s annual player survey — players do not give their names — was to pick the most overrated player on the PGA Tour.

Fowler and Ian Poulter shared first place at 24 per

cent. Fowler has never faced this level of criticism.

He is a favourite among fans and most players for his considerate behaviour.

He tried to play it down, though he said on more than one occasion this week that it would motivate him.

Fowler was five shots behind Garcia when he “hit the button.” It was more like hitting warp speed.

A 9-iron to 12 feet for birdie on the par-3 13th.

A 15-foot birdie on the 15th. The bold shot over the edge of the water to tap-in range for eagle. The wedge over the corner of the island to 6 feet for birdie. And then he blasted a tee shot 331 yards and made a 15-foot birdie on the 18th hole to be the first player to reach 12-under 276.

The Stadium Course has rarely lacked for greater theatre over the last three decades.

This topped them all.

Over the final hour, six players had hopes of winning the richest prize in golf. Four of them were tied for the lead.

Ben Martin raced into the picture with three straight birdies, but he pushed his tee shot into the woods on the 18th, pitched out and missed his par putt for a 70 that knocked him out of the playoff. Bill Haas twice had a chance to tie for the lead, and he failed to make birdie on the 18th to join the playoff.

Braves building towards future

BY JOSH ALDRICH ADVOCATE STAFF Todd Labranche is still in the process of getting to know his players, but already the resiliency of the Red Deer Midget AAA Carstar Braves is jumping out at him.

Labranche took over the team from Cam Moon who stepped down at the end of last year.

After winning just one of three league games this weekend against the Fort McMurray Oil Giants, the Braves sit at 1-3 through two weekends.

The Braves won the opening game of Saturday’s double-header 6-3 but dropped the evening contest 13-7. On Sunday morning Red Deer fell 5-3 but they did rebound to win an exhibition game between the two teams, 18-17.

“We rallied and fought hard (in the first game) and showed some real spirit and ended up coming back to score six late runs to win that game,” said Labranche.

Labranche just moved out from the Vancouver area after coaching with the Coquitlam Reds of the B.C. Premier Baseball League — the highest level of minor baseball in B.C. — for the last six years. Though he came out for work, he jumped at the opportunity to keep working with a high level of baseball.

The club he has taken over in Red Deer is at the very beginning of a rebuild, and will be one of the youngest in the NorWest Baseball League this season. Teams are allowed three overage players, the Braves have none, then they have only three third-year players.

But Labranche is impressed with some of the potential at his disposal, including starting third baseman Austin Hammond and Zach Olson who both made the jump from bantam AAA this year.

“This will be a real learning year ... I’ve set a goal for our team that we get better every time we come to the park,” he said, stressing working on the thought process of the players and the fundamentals.

The biggest issue early on is teaching the young players how to hit better pitching. They throw harder and smarter than they did at the bantam AAA

level and there is a learning curve for the batters.

“I’m trying to instill in them to have a plan heading to the plate to make sure their thought process is front and centre,” said Labranche.

At the foundation of the team, however, is a strong group of defensive players that should limit extra opportunities by the opposition which will be key while a few more young arms develop over the course of the season.

Until then, he will be leaning on the few veterans he has for leadership on the field and to anchor their rotation, including southpaw Michael Ozga who also plays first base and righthander Ty Wagar who also plays short stop.

“They challenge the opposition hitters, they also make routine plays, you can trust them when the ball is on the ground to make a defensive play, as well as they’re good situational hitters, they’re two of our top hitters,” said Labranche. “They’ve been in the league for a number of years, they’ve seen the good pitching, they’re able to adjust to it. They bring all three of the aspects I want to bring to the team.”

In Saturday’s 6-3 win, Wagar threw a complete game four hitter, allowing three runs on four hits with three walks and two hit batsmen while striking out five. Jordan Muirhead lead their attack with a single and a double and two RBI, while Brett Stockwood had an RBI double and Griffin Moline and Zach Olson RBI singles.

In the loss on Saturday, the Braves were done in by two error-filled innings in which they allowed six runs each. Moline, Andrew MacCuaig and Stockwood combined for the loss on the mound. Darin Fodor had two RBIs, a double and a single, Muirhead had a two-RBI double and Brad Pope had an RBI double.

In their 5-3 loss on Sunday, Ozga picked up the loss, going 6 1/3 and allowing five runs on seven hits, four walks and two hit batters while striking out three. MacCuaig paced the offence with three singles, an RBI and a run while Moline had a triple and Benett Kary had a double and a run.

The Braves won the final game of the weekend on a passes ball in the bottom of the seventh inning to give Red Deer an 18-17 exhibition win.

Olson went 4-for-5 with five RBIs, while MacCuaig had three singles and two RBI, and Wagar had two RBIs and scored five times.

Despite the rebuild, Labranche still has high expectations for the club this year.

“We just want to compete every single game and make sure we’re in contention,” he said. “Building towards the end of the year, our expectation is we will make a provincial tournament and the goal is to show well in that.”

BY JOSH ALDRICH ADVOCATE STAFF Barracudas 16 Renegades 9 The Red Deer Renegades knew heading into this season they were in for a much more difficult challenge than in 2014.

Despite going undefeated in their first three games of the Rocky Mountain Lacrosse League Junior B Tier II season, everything caught up to them this weekend, dropping both of their games to two top teams.

On Saturday they fell 11-9 in Calgary to the Axemen and then fell 16-9 to the Lethbridge Barracudas — the same team that eliminated them in last year’s South Final — on Sunday at the Kinex Arena.

However, this is a very different team on the floor for Red Deer. This season stands to be a struggle early as they rebuild on the fly.

“Now we have our captains straight, we have an actual built team now and it’s understanding everybody’s roles,” said Renegades assistant coach Adam Mooney. “We’re a new team and we’re playing teams that have played together for 12 years out of Lethbridge, teams that are the same size as us that don’t have a tier I team.”

On Sunday, Chase Boswell and Nicholas Scott both had two goals for Red Deer while Carson Stuve, Carter Copland-Blair, Colton Levie, Andrew Keller and Ryan Margetts all scored once.

However, they were unable to match the top end talent of their southern rivals. The Barracudas are the top level of junior B in Lethbridge, where as in Red Deer, their is one tier higher, and several of their players went up to play for the Rampage this season.

Red Deer Renegades’ Justin Quinn gets a shot while being pursued by a pair of Lethbridge Barracudas during Rocky Mountain Lacrosse League Junior B Tier II action at the Kinex Arena in Red Deer on Sunday. Lethbridge won 16-9. back from 2014 and he was held off the scoreboard on Sunday.

Dropping two in a row to two top teams did not come a surprise, in fact Mooney was happy with the effort at least on Saturday. But he does expect them to bounce back strong in their next game.

LACROSSE The Blackfalds Silverbacks, with Bradon Kripps and Harry Thompson each erupting for five goals, hammered the Edmonon Warriors 23-3 in Rocky Mountain Lacrosse League senior C men’s action during the weekend.

Trent Oleson fired three goals and added two assists, as did Kripps, while Scott Ebbert and Dustin Reykdal each had two goals and two helpers.

Troy Klaus tallied twice for the winners, while Shandi Werenka contributed a goal and five assists, Justin Kinnear scored once and added four assists, Tyler McRobbie had a goal and two helpers and Luke Flett tallied once.

Adam Mooney, who collected three assists, was the winning netminder. ● The Red Deer Rage fell 9-1 to the host Calgary Axemen in senior women’s play during the weekend.

Paige Sweetnam scored the lone Rage goal.

Red Deer takes on the Calgary Cardinals Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. at the Innisfail Arena Red. ● The Lacoka Locos fell 20-10 to the Calgary Axemen in junior B tier 2 play.

“We’re a prideful team,” he said.

“Games like this hurt, all the kids in there want to represent Red Deer well and they know they didn’t do that tonight. They take pride in that and they come back with a lot of vengeance.”

There is some good talent in the pool, however, for the Renegades.

BRIEFS Five Central Alberta football players named to Team Alberta Running back Brandt Burzuk of the Hunting Hills Lightning is among five Central Alberta players named to the Alberta under-18 football team for the Canada Cup tournament July 12-20 in Montreal. The team was picked at the conclusion of a Football Alberta camp Sunday at Calgary’ McMahon Stadium and also includes recievers David Mueller of Lacombe and Ben Paziuk of the Lindsay Thurber Raiders, and offensive lineman Travis Derksen and linebacker Eddie Kim of Hunting Hills. The team will reconvene in

Mooney is expecting big things out of the likes of Travis Mears and Curtis Hallman who are taking advantage of their opportunity early on.

“They’re first years and they’re going to be phenomenal players (the roster turnover) gives them the chance to develop way faster than your average player,” he said. “As a team, by the end of the season it should be a benefit, because they’re great players.”

The veterans they do have back are more than just solid players. The coaches are leaning on them to show leadership on the floor and to help bring their teammates up to speed.

This group includes captain Kane Weik, Margetts and Boswell, CoplandBlair and Cody Rush.

“They bring experience, even right now they’re talking about what went wrong,” said Mooney. “The biggest part is they bring direction for our younger players. Not every player is the best at everything on the floor, but they know their role and the veterans really help establish players in the position they should be in.”

Despite the rebuilding aspect to the season, the Renegades do have high expectations. They have made it to the South Final three years in a row and the goal is to be in that conversation again this season.

“Anything that’s not winning this year is a disappointment,” said Mooney. “You can’t deny it’s a rebuilding year, but there’s too much talent for it to just throw it away.”

The Renegades are off until May 24 when they host the Medicine Hat Sun Devils at 2:30 p.m. at the Kinex Arena.

NOTES — Schumacher led the Renegades with five points (three goals, two assists) in their 11-9 loss to the Calgary Axemen on Saturday. Rush had four points (1-3-4) while Hallman added two goals and Levie, Kole Weik and Derrick McGill scored once each. jaldrich@reddeeradvocate.com

Johnson holds off Harvick at Kansas NASCAR

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Jimmie Johnson pulled into victory lane after his late-race gamble paid off to win the rain-delayed Sprint Cup race at Kansas Speedway, then pulled out his cellphone and tried to dial his wife in the first few minutes of Mother’s Day. “Then I caught her on FaceTime,” Johnson said, “and she was NOT so happy to be on FaceTime with all those people around. I think the signal went out — or she hung up on me.”

There’s a good chance Chandra will forgive him.

Johnson, so dominant on mile-and-a-half tracks, held off Kevin Harvick as the clock struck midnight heading into Sunday. They were chased across the line by Johnson’s Hendrick Motorsports teammates Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Jeff Gordon after a dramatic final few laps.

Most of the leaders had been conserving fuel after pitting with 58 to go, right on the upper end of the pit window, when Ricky Stenhouse Jr. got into the

wall with 12 laps left. Johnson was among those who pressed their luck by staying on the track, while Harvick went in for right-side tires and fuel, and Martin Truex Jr. got a splash of gas.

“It just dawned on me: We’ve won two races, we’re locked in the Chase, points don’t matter. We’re going for the win,” Johnson said. “It was just sort of a gut feeling, split-second.”

Johnson built a lead on the restart with six laps left, but Harvick sped around Earnhardt on his fresh tires down the front stretch, setting his sights on the lead.

“They had the most raw speed,” said Johnson’s crew chief, Chad Knaus.

Harvick bobbled just slightly at one point on the back stretch, though, giving Johnson a little more space. The six-time series champion maintained it the rest of the way to win for the third time this season and his third race at Kansas Speedway.

“The 48 and 88 didn’t have the speed, and they gambled and had enough cars in between us that we didn’t have enough laps to get around them,” Harvick said.

“It’s hard to know what’s right and what’s wrong.

You know half of them are going to come in and half are going to stay out.”

Harvick still extended his points lead over Truex heading into next week’s All-Star race at Charlotte.

Johnson is third in the standings as he chases another title.

“In some ways we fought really hard to get to victory lane, but it’s also fun to win gambling,” Johnson said. “We haven’t really gambled to win one.”

Truex led a race-high 95 laps, but his pit decision proved costly. Without fresh tires, one of the strongest cars in the field faded on the final restart and finished ninth.

“Really hate when it comes down to fuel mileage. It seems like I’m always at the wrong end of that deal,” he said. “It would have been fun to see whether we had anything for him.”

Joey Logano stormed to a top-five finish despite two pit-road penalties.

The first came just before a band of rain passed through, dousing the track and forcing a delay of 2 hours, 16 minutes. The other came when Logano entered pit road with it closed, dropping him from sixth to the back of the line with 83 laps left.

Matt Kenseth was next in sixth, followed by Brad Keselowski and Kurt Busch. Ryan Newman rounded out the top 10 with interim crew chief Todd Parrott calling the shots.

Rosberg opens F1 season with win in Spain

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS GRANOLLERS, Spain — Nico Rosberg finally got his championship campaign going on Sunday with a commanding win from pole position at the Spanish Grand Prix.

Now the German hopes he can gain further ground on Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton at his favourite Monaco track in two weeks.

Rosberg beat Hamilton for the first time this season, with Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel placing third.

The morale-boosting win was Rosberg’s first since the Brazilian GP — the penultimate race of the last season — which the German driver also won from pole. It also gives him a sense of momentum heading into Monaco, where Rosberg, the son of former world champion Keke Rosbger, grew up. He won the showcase race from pole last year, and then went on to win in Austria and Germany.

A third straight win at Monaco would dent Hamilton’s 20-point lead.

“I was able to control the pace and I never felt in danger throughout the whole race,” Rosberg said.

“It’s still early days in the season so it’s good to close the gap to Lewis. I will continue to push hard, starting with a home race for me in Monaco.”

Hamilton, the defending F1 champion, has won three of five races this season, with Vettel taking the Malaysian GP in March.

“I had a good start, getting past Lewis,” Vettel said. “But unfortunately Mercedes were just too quick.”

McLaren’s poor season continued as two-time F1 champion Fernando Alonso retired just short of halfway with faulty brakes — on the same track where he last won a race two years ago with Ferrari.

Hamilton has finished in the top two for 12 straight races since retiring at last season’s Belgium GP in August. Dominant Mercedes has finished 1-2 in three of five races this campaign.

“Everyone brought upgrades here and we’re still much faster,” Rosberg said.

As Rosberg milked the applause after the race, Hamilton walked up to him, patted him on the back and then shook his hand firmly.

There was no Spanish driver in genuine contention and little suspense, either.

With 19 of the past 25 winners here starting from pole, the circuit is arguably the hardest to overtake on in F1. Rosberg finished 17.5 seconds clear of Hamilton and some 45.3 ahead of Vettel.

“I think I’m in the fight,” Vettel said. “I’m pretty confident we will get closer again pretty soon. I’m quite confident that in the next couple of races we

Mercedes driver German’s Nico Rosberg, right, leads the race after the start during the Spanish Formula One Grand Prix at the Barcelona Catalunya racetrack in Montmelo, just outside Barcelona, Spain, Sunday. should be stepping up our game.”

Although the 730-meter straight to the first turn offered Hamilton the chance to apply instant pressure, Rosberg got away well. Hamilton stuttered as Vettel overtook him and he only just held off the Williams of Valtteri Bottas heading into the first corner.

Bottas finished fourth and Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen was fifth.

“It’s been a long time since I had such a bad start,” Hamilton said. “I tried my best to recover.”

It wasn’t Hamilton’s day, as his first pit stop on lap 14 for a new set of medium tires took 5.3 seconds because a mechanic appeared not to get the left rear wheel on cleanly. Vettel’s first stop was an extremely fast 2.3 seconds.

“I had a long pit stop and I had to do it all again,” Hamilton said. “But fortunately at the end it was enough (to catch Vettel).”

Rosberg came in for his first tire change on lap 16 — at a marginally slower 2.5 seconds — while Raik-

konen stayed out in front.

Hamilton was urged by his race engineer to push more strongly to overtake Vettel, to which Hamilton replied: “I can assure you that’s pretty much impossible to do, you’re going to have to come up with another plan.”

The plan chosen was a three-stop strategy.

Alonso overshot his stop as he entered the pits, sending a front jack flying which missed the mechanic nearby.

Nothing was troubling Rosberg as he extended his lead over Vettel to 10 seconds by halfway. Hamilton switched to hard tires after 33 of 66 laps.

Vettel made his second stop on lap 40 while Rosberg made his second with 20 laps remaining, coming out just behind Hamilton as the British driver led for the first time.

Nearing the end of lap 51, Hamilton came in for his final change, getting back onto medium tires, but Rosberg moved ahead and was too far away to catch.

HOUSTON — On the night that Saul “Canelo” Alvarez knocked out James Kirkland, the Mexican star spent almost as much time talking about Miguel Cotto as he did his opponent.

Alvarez knocked out Kirkland with a sweeping right at 2:19 of the third round in their 154-pound fight Saturday night at Minute Maid Park.

When he faced the media to discuss the victory, many of the questions focused on whether he’ll fight Cotto next. If the two meet, the expected pay-perview fight could come in the fall. Cotto will face Daniel Geale on June 6 at the Barclays Center.

“It’s a fight that’s a natural and of course I would fight him,” Alvarez said.

“I’m ready to fight the best. I’m willing to fight anybody.”

Moments after getting off the canvas after being decked with a flurry of punches, Kirkland took the devastating knockout punch and collapsed to the floor on his back.

“I did not see the punch coming that knocked me out,” Kirkland said.

Alvarez celebrated for a moment before realizing Kirkland was still down and going to check on him.

“At the end of the day you don’t want him to be injured badly,” Alvarez said.

“I was a little worried about him and as soon as I found out that he was OK I started celebrating again.”

Kirkland was taken to a hospital for a CT scan.

Bernard Hopkins, helping promote the fight, said Kirkland was responsive and OK. Alvarez (45-1-1, 32 KOs) returned from a 10-month break to beat Kirkland (32-2, 28 KOs), who was back in the ring after a 17-month layoff.

Alvarez threw 150 punches — 47 fewer than Kirkland — but he connected on 87 to just 42 by Kirkland.

The 24-year-old Alvarez got to Kirkland early and often, knocking him down the first time with about 1 ½ minutes left in the first round. Kirkland got up quickly that time, despite the right hand to the face that left his nose bleeding heavily.

“Once I dropped him the first time I knew I had him,” Alvarez said.

He kept at him in the second, once using a left that landed to the side of his face.

“I just got a little bit surprised because of his style,” Alvarez said of the early moments of the fight.

“He had a little bit of a herky-jerky style ... but with time I was able to figure him out.”

Remember them with the others MONUMENT WILL HONOUR THOSE WHO DIED DURING TRAINING

BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF About 3,000 young airmen lost their lives training at bases across Canada during the Second World War. Thirty-three of them died while training in Bowden and Penhold. Another 10 men lost their lives during Canadian Forces Base Penhold’s decades as a NATO base.

There’s one more name that Red Deer Flying Club president Jim Thoreson wants remembered alongside those others.

It is that of Herluf Nielsen, Thoreson’s friend and a dedicated pilot who logged more than 3,000 hours in the air for the Civil Air Search and Rescue Association (CASARA), whose volunteers help in finding downed or missing aircraft.

Nielsen, 67, had just completed a night training exercise and was heading back to Innisfail from Red Deer Airport when his small plane went down in bad weather around 10 p.m. in November 2008.

Nielsen, who lived and farmed in the Spruce View area, had 47 years of flying experience and was well known in Central Alberta aviation circles.

He was a founding member of the Innisfail Flying Club.

“I was pretty close to him,” said Thoreson, who was search co-ordinator in charge of finding his missing friend the night he went down.

Thoreson said a monument at Winnipeg’s national headquarters honours those who have fallen while participating in CASARA missions.

“But it was only for people who were killed during an actual SAR (search and rescue) mission. So he didn’t qualify.”

Fellow flyers agreed that wasn’t right and as they talked about how to recognize Nielsen, they also discussed how other airmen had not been officially

Standing under the Harvard trainer at the Red Deer Airport Jim Thoreson, president of the Red Deer Flying Club and a member of the Civil Air Search and Rescue Association is behind a drive to build a monument to pilots who lost their lives in training and rescue operations. memorialized at what is now Red Deer Airport.

A three-sided monument has been designed that will be placed under the Harvard training aircraft outside the airport terminal.

It is expected to cost about $7,000 to complete the project and more than half has already been raised, he said.

A dedication ceremony is expected to take place

this fall.

There has been plenty of support for the project, with the Harvard Historical Aviation Society, Red Deer Flying Club, CASARA and local RCAF association all working together.

Cruise Night changing locations due to construction

BY MARY-ANN BARR ADVOCATE STAFF The popular Red Deer Cruise Night is changing locations because of planned construction at Parkland Mall.

Dave Burden, organizer of the Thursday night gatherings that draws hundreds of classic vehicles, their owners and the public, said that he is close to finalizing a new venue. He did not want to name the new location until it is finalized.

The event, which won a 2014 Tourism Red Deer Award, needs to move because a large new business, GoodLife Fitness, is moving into the old Sears location at the mall.

That northeast parking lot, which was near the entrance to the old Sears location, has been used by Cruise Night for about the past five years. The retail

location has been mostly empty since 2008 when Sears left. Construction activity, which includes workers, vehicles and equipment, is expected to start in the next couple of months, and will be taking up the parking lot area for about a year.

Cruise Night’s kickoff for the May to October season was last Thursday evening. But participants were rained out soon after it began at 6 p.m. Still, the event drew about 150 vehicles, Burden said.

He said this Thursday might turn into their real grand opening, with better weather expected, and it will coincide nicely with a small fair that sets up every year at that time in the parking lot.

“We always blend with the fair when they come in.”

Burden said he expected they would be moving to the new location in June. It needs to be big enough to allow for growth of the event.

Burden said that in 2014, the highest number of

vehicles on their Cruise Night was 669. “I was, believe it or not, starting to run out of room at Sears.”

Cruise Night participants do like the mall location but with the construction going on, there won’t be enough room, he said.

Cruise Night has been invited back to the mall once the new business moves in but Burden said they could end up staying at the new venue.

It won’t be at Westerner Park because even if the parking lot was free to use, the Westerner charges individual parking fees to each driver coming in, Burden said.

Cruise Night is run through donations of $2 per vehicle and from walk-ins who come to see the event.

This year will see new signage and banners and a new web page. That was planned but after winning the Tourism Award, Burden feels “We’ve got make it even bigger now.” barr@reddeeradvocate.com

BRIEF Second teen to represent at Miss Teenage Canada A second Red Deer teenager is representing Central Alberta in the Miss Teenage Canada competition.

Sarah Wojcik, 17, has gained the title of Miss Teenage South Central Alberta.

Forty teens from across Alberta competed for the honor of representing their province at the nationals.

Wojcik was one of 15 who will go to nationals in Toronto from Aug. 2 to 10. Seventy girls from across the country will compete at the Miss Teenage Canada Pageant.

Organizers say the pageant is more than the average beauty pageant because it lets teenagers show off their creativity, energy and passion as they compete to be Canada’s next beauty and goodwill ambassador.

Wojcik, a Grade 11 student at Notre Dame High

School, said she is honoured to represent Central Alberta.

She said she grew up admiring the women who competed in pageants and the things those women did to make a difference in the world.

Wojcik said she wants to increase awareness of those affected by mental health issues. She has a particular interest in preventing suicide.

She plans to raise funds and awareness for mental health and suicide prevention.

Big Valley Tool Museum to be open to the public soon Big Valley’s Tool Museum, boasting more than 30,000 antique tools from one man’s collection, is close to opening its doors.

While the grand opening isn’t expected until next year, Big Valley Historical Society president Lois Miller will invite the public to watch workers install the fixtures and displays after they obtain a occupancy permit later this summer.

“It’s almost there,” said Miller.

“It’s not completed but it is progressing. Once we get the permit, we’ll be able to let people in to see what we are doing.”

Miller said she wants to hold off on the official opening in order to invite government dignitaries and other special guests.

The tool museum may just be the largest of its kind in Alberta and perhaps Canada.

The tools were donated by Big Valley resident Rod Miller, no relation to Lois Miller, in 2014. Miller had been collecting the tools for about 30 years.

Some are as old as the late 1800s.

The museum is on a site beside a parking lot, south of the Big Valley Inn (53 Main St.), about 98 km east and south of Red Deer.

Board advises against uranium mine COMPANY LACKS A DEFINITE START DATE

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

NUNAVUT

A government advisory board in Nunavut has recommended against allowing a French company to build a uranium mine that was proposed for the edge of a caribou calving ground.

The Nunavut Impact Review Board has concluded that since Areva’s Kiggavik project lacks a definite start date or development schedule, its environmental and social impacts cannot be properly assessed.

The $2.1-billion project called for one underground and four open-pit mines just west of Baker Lake, and would have provided at least 400 jobs, many reserved for local Inuit.

But Areva acknowledged that uranium prices are currently so low it could be up to two decades before construction would actually begin.

Review Board chair Elizabeth Copland says in a statement that Areva may resubmit the proposal when it has more certainty about the start date.

She says the board could then make

“more definite and confident” assessments about the effects the mine would have on caribou, fish and other marine life.

“The board does not intend that this project not proceed at any time. The board intends that the Kiggavik Project may be resubmitted for consideration at such future time when increased certainty regarding the project start date can be provided,” Copland stated in a letter Friday to Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Minister Bernard Valcourt.

The letter accompanied the board’s final report on its review of the project, which has been submitted to Valcourt.

The calving grounds are for one of the North’s great caribou herds and near the largest and most remote wildlife sanctuary on the continent.

Areva’s plans would have emptied part of a lake, built a road through

Eurozone set for highest growth since recession’s end

the caribou habitat and stretched a bridge across a Canadian heritage river. Planes loaded with radioactive concentrate would take off from its airstrip.

Areva has been considering the project since at least 1997 and the plans have been before the regulator since 2007.

However, the report noted that Areva stated at the outset of the board’s final hearing in March that the world price of uranium made the project uneconomic at the present time.

Barry McCallum, the manager for Nunavut affairs for Areva Resources Canada Inc., said the company put forward a sound environmental impact statement for the project.

“We’ll give it a careful read and we’ll make a decision on what to do.

But for now, it’s disappointing news to us,” McCallum said of the review board’s decision.

The Baker Lake Hunters and Trappers Organization told the board that it wasn’t necessarily against Kiggavik, but the uncertainty was a problem.

“We do not want this proposal approved but still hanging over our heads for decades to come, not knowing what the future of our community will be,” the organization said in its closing submission to the board.

“We would be sitting and waiting for decades totally powerless to control our own future.

“This would not be right ... The company can return when they have a start date, when they are serious about getting this project off the ground. Then we can talk about it.”

The Kivalliq Wildlife Board, which manages wildlife in the region under the Nunavut Land Claim, opposed Kiggavik until protections for the calving ground were in place and Areva committed to a start date.

The review board’s final report further recommends there be more information on caribou and marine wildlife trends.

It also called for more education programs that could enable Inuit to qualify for mine jobs beyond entry level positions.

HAND WEAVERS CONFERENCE

BUT GREECE BACK AS A POTENTIAL RISK

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON — It may only account for 2 per cent of the eurozone economy but Greece has a habit of punching above its weight when it comes to bruising the currency union.

And there are fears it could be once again posing a threat to an otherwise burgeoning recovery.

Official figures on Wednesday are expected to show that the 19-country eurozone grew by 0.4 per cent in the first quarter of 2015 from the previous three-month period. That’s up from the 0.3 per cent recorded in last quarter of 2014 and would be the eurozone’s highest growth rate since the second quarter of 2013, when it emerged from its longest-ever recession.

In the first quarter, Germany, Europe’s biggest economy, is expected to have led the way, its export-heavy economy prospering from the fall in the value of the euro — Europe’s single currency has fallen to near a decadelow against the dollar in the wake of the European Central Bank’s decision to launch a 1.1 trillion-euro ($1.2 trillion) monetary stimulus. Low oil prices, less stringent budgetary policies around Europe are also helping to shore up the recovery.

Other bright lights include Spain, one of the countries at the forefront of the region’s debt crisis over the past few years that has gained plaudits from European policymakers for reforming its economy, particularly the labour market. Economists think those efforts are now bearing fruit.

“We think that if you look at the current situation in the eurozone it is about as close to being the dream scenario backdrop as anyone could have realistically hoped a year or more ago to help to kick-start a meaningful recovery,” said Ben May, leading eurozone economist at Oxford Economics.

May is predicting growth of 0.8 per cent, which would be a four-year high and easily outpace levels recorded in the U.S. or Britain, two of the top-performing developed economies over the past year.

Beyond the first quarter, however,

May concedes that Greece’s crisis, on top of slower global growth, could mean this is another “false dawn” for the eurozone.

Recent reports suggest that’s possible. Business confidence and retail sales across the eurozone have taken a dent, while surveys of managers suggest business activity has peaked, meaning growth in the rest of the year may not pick up as much as hoped.

“While it is encouraging that the recovery is becoming more broad-based across the euro area, there are clearly still pockets of vulnerability, with Greece an obvious source of concern,” said Timo del Carpio, European economist at RBC Capital Markets, who is forecasting eurozone growth of 0.5 per cent in the first quarter.

The headline growth rate, whatever it is, will mask the likely fall back into recession of Greece barely a year after it emerged from one of the developed world’s deepest downturn since World War II. Last week, the European Union slashed its projection for Greek growth this year to just 0.5 per cent from 2.5 per cent previously — assuming Greece secures a deal with creditors that will help it pay off debts.

The main reason behind Greece’s renewed crisis is the new left-wing government’s pledge to end the hated budget austerity that creditors from the eurozone and International Monetary Fund have insisted upon.

For over three months, talks have dragged on as the Greek government tries to come up with a series of economic and budget reforms that will convince the creditors to pay out 7.2 billion euros ($8 billion) of bailout cash. With every passing day, the uncertainty has sharpened, to the detriment of the Greek economy. Greeks have been pulling money out of banks and investors have shied away from the country.

If the bailout talks fail, the country could default on its debts, have to put limits on the free flow of money and eventually even exit the euro. Most economists think that would cause a massive recession in Greece for at least a year as the country tries to adjust to a new, weaker currency.

Tax implications of having foreign investments The recent slump in oil prices is causing many Canadian investors to move their money from energy-weighted markets at home to foreign markets for better yields.

While this may be a profitable investment strategy, it also can create its own set of problems because many investors may not be aware of the tax implications that can come from owning foreign secuTALBOT rities.

BOGGS According to a recent Bank of Canada survey, the collapse in oil prices has put a damper on the sales forecasts and investment and hiring plans of many Canadian-based resource companies.

“With the decline in oil prices and a rebound in the U.S. economy and markets, investors in Canada are looking outside the country in pursuit of higher yields,” says Carol Bezaire, vice

MONEYWISE

president of tax and estate planning with Mackenzie Investments. “This can be profitable but it also can be problematic because many investors may not understand the tax implications.”

Under the Income Tax Act Canadian residents are subject to income tax on all worldwide income.

This encompasses all income and capital gains regardless of its source and would include all Canadian income plus all foreign sources of income such as employment income earned outside of Canada, rental income from property from outside of Canada and investment income from foreign accounts.

This applies even if the money is reinvested outside of Canada or is never brought to Canada and even if the country where the income is earned has taxed it as well.

Canadian residents who hold shares traded on foreign exchanges typically are not required to file income tax returns in those countries. Instead, all income, dividends and capital gains from those foreign investments must be reported on a Canadian income tax return. This is the case if they are held in non- registered accounts.

If you hold a U.S. dividend paying

stock in a non-registered Canadian account, for example, the dividends are subject to a 15 per cent withholding tax at the source by the foreign payer under the terms of a special tax treaty.

Capital gains are not subject to the withholding tax.

Canada currently has in force 92 such tax treaties with foreign countries which are listed on the Canada Revenue Agency’s web site. The rules of the treaties can vary depending on the country.

“What a lot of people don’t know is that Canadian investors have to pay tax on the full amount of foreign dividends, not on the withheld amount,” Bezaire explains. “This creates a lot of confusion.”

To avoid double taxation, investors can apply for a foreign tax credit to reduce the amount of Canadian taxes they pay on the U.S. income received.

Many Canadian mutual funds and exchange traded funds have global holdings. In this case, the withholding taxes are incurred by the fund company and are recorded on the investor’s T3 tax form. The investor then can claim the tax credit. All taxes are in Canadian dollars.

Income earned from foreign invest-

ments in registered accounts such as RRSPs, RRIFs, LIRAs, LIFs and LRIFs held for pension or retirement purposes is exempt from the non-resident withholding tax. For Canadian tax purposes the income is taxed at the investor’s marginal tax rate when it is withdrawn from the account.

The Tax Free Savings Account and Registered Education Savings Plan are not considered registered accounts and therefore are subject to foreign withholding tax.

“Make sure when you look at investing in global markets that you are mindful of the complications with your tax return unless you are invested in a registered account and make sure that you have claimable income so you don’t lose out on the foreign tax credit,” Bezaire says.

“The world of investments is getting smaller and investors today have a lot more choices, so it’s prudent to talk to an adviser and only invest in what you know.”

Judge orders Greenpeace protesters to stay away from Royal Dutch Shell drill ships ANCHORAGE, Alaska — A federal judge has ordered Greenpeace protesters to stay away from Royal Dutch Shell PLC ships.

U.S. District Court Judge Sharon Gleason on Friday also prohibited Greenpeace from flying unmanned vehicles over the offshore Arctic area where Shell plans to drill. The Alaska Dispatch News reports the safety-zone injunction is in effect until Oct. 31. Shell Offshore Inc. sued on April 7, one day after six Greenpeace protesters boarded the Blue Marlin, a heavy-lift ship carrying a Transocean Ltd. semisubmersible drilling unit, the Polar Pioneer, as it crossed the Pacific.

The injunction establishes buffer zones from 300 feet to about 5,000 feet.

Shell says it is pleased with the outcome. Greenpeace calls the ruling disappointing.

Hosted by Alberta Bike Swap and the local Optimist Club of Red Deer the swap brought together buyers and sellers under one roof to make bike transactions simpler for all. Bike sellers had the option to donate any unused bikes to the Red Deer Optimist Club bike program which will then be handed out to children and adults who wouldn‘t otherwise be able to acquire a set of wheels.

What to watch for in the Canadian business world this week THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Here are five things to look for in Canadian business this week: AGMs in the oilpatch: Encana Corp., once a natural gas focused firm that’s been getting oilier over the past year or two, reports its first-quarter results and holds its annual meeting on Tuesday.

It spent billions last year to acquire Texas oil assets just before crude prices started their steep descent.

Western Canadian crude producer Penn West Petroleum Ltd. also holds its shareholder meeting Wednesday following a tumultuous few years — from a major management shakeup to an accounting scandal and the ongoing pain from low crude prices. Last month, Penn West posted a first-quarter net loss of $248 million.

Canadian Pacific Railway: The Calgary-based railway, with a vast North American network, holds its annual general meeting Thursday. Shareholders will likely be eager to hear what Hunter Harrison, the

company’s straight-talking, Memphis-born CEO, has to say about safety measures for oil trains and the outlook for crude-by-rail in the downturn.

Hardware earnings: Home improvement/hardware giants Rona and Canadian Tire both post their firstquarter earnings this week. Quebec-based Rona’s earnings will be released Tuesday, while Canadian Tire holds its annual meeting in Toronto on Thursday.

Has the lower Canadian dollar had any impact on either chain?

Air Canada: Analysts predict Air Canada posts first-quarter profits on Tuesday.

Its rival, WestJet, reported big profits last week even as passengers gripe about more fees and less legroom. Air Canada’s turnaround plan has impressed some analysts, who have rated its stock the best of the North American airlines.

Home sales: The Canadian Real Estate Association, known as CREA, releases the national home sales figures for the month of April, which was piping hot in both Toronto and Vancouver.

Compressed air comes to fore as method of storing wind, solar energy

BY JEREMY VAN LOON SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE CALGARY— A technology used in ancient Greece to power clocks and fire a cannon is undergoing a revival as a way to store energy from wind turbines and solar panels. Compressed air, already used to power carnival rides, jackhammers and medical equipment, joins the crowded field of innovations chasing what could be a $21.5 billion market by 2024.

Contenders include Tesla Motors Chairman Elon Musk, who this month unveiled a suite of batteries to store electricity for homes, businesses and utilities. Tesla plans to begin delivering its rechargeable lithium-ion model in late summer. But compressed air storage systems, or CAES, may have an edge: The technology can be used to store large amounts of power for weeks at less than the cost of batteries.

“You need bulk storage to support all the renewables, and CAES is pretty much the only technology to do that,” said Jim Heid, vice president at DresserRand Group, a supplier of compressed air products.

“It’s a worldwide phenomenon because of all the intermittent renewables coming online.”

The mechanics are simple. Electricity from wind turbines and solar panels run compressors that fill man-made caverns also used for natural gas storage.

When the pressurized air is released, it drives turbines that provide clean power when the sun doesn’t shine and the wind doesn’t blow.

In less than a decade, annual investment in compressed air will be almost $5 billion, according to Navigant Research. That will support more than 11

gigawatts of installed capacity and help renewable power developers match demand with supply.

Competition is stiff. Along with batteries, developers are using everything from vats of molten salt to rooftop tanks filled with ice to store energy, a market Navigant sees expanding about 35-fold by 2024 from $605.8 million this year. Even supporters acknowledge that air storage must improve. The systems return only about 60 percent of the power used to fill caverns, according to Dresser-Rand.

“When you put in one unit of energy, you want to get one unit out,” said Sam Shelton, senior fellow at the Strategic Energy Institute at the Georgia Institute of Technology. “Air is not very dense, so compression storage is low efficiency. It’s all economics.”

Advancements in technology will boost efficiency and eliminate the need to heat the pressurized air with natural gas, reducing carbon dioxide emissions.

Developers are improving above-ground vessels for smaller-scale applications.

“Overall it’s a market that has a couple of niches,” said Brian Warshay, an analyst with Bloomberg New Energy Finance in New York. “A lot depends on the location and the proximity to demand.”

Two years ago, California regulators asked the state’s three biggest utilities to add 1.33 gigawatts of energy-storage capacity by 2020 -- about 20 percent more than currently exists in the world, excluding pumped hydropower systems. Spain’s Abengoa is developing a solar-thermal project in California that will incorporate power storage. Ice Energy Holdings, a Santa Barbara, California-based company, is pioneering a storage method using rooftop ice to provide cooling during the day.

BEIJING — China’s inflation rate rose slightly to 1.5 per cent in April, up from the previous month’s 1.4 per cent, but still provides plenty room for monetary easing for the world’s second-largest economy, according to official data released Saturday.

The latest consumer price index was lower than in March but went up 1.5 per cent year over year.

The inflation rate increased 1.3 per cent in the first four months over the same period last year, according to data from the National Bureau of Statistics. The inflation rate came in lower than expected, which will leave room for the government to ease its monetary policies.

China’s economy grew 7.4 per cent last year, the lowest growth in more than two decades. The economic slowdown is expected to persist.

Chinese leader visits Belarus to sign billion-dollar deals, build Silk Road economic vision MINSK, Belarus — Chinese President Xi Jinping travelled Sunday to Belarus for a three-day trip to sign deals worth billions of dollars as Beijing looks to build greater inroads into Europe’s economy.

Xi said Sunday that Belarus could become a key hub for China’s much-vaunted Silk Road vision — a project to bridge Europe and Asia through a series of transportation and energy links. Chinese officials estimated the total value of the Belarus deals at $15.7 billion. Belarus’ economy is very reliant on Russia, where growth has been suffocated by falling oil prices and Western sanctions for Russian actions in Ukraine. That has pushed Belarus to try to vary its economic relations, although its options with western Europe remain constrained by diplomatic tensions. Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said after meeting with Xi in his nation’s capital, Minsk, that China is investing in building and modernizing Belarusian infrastructure. Under one of around 20 deals signed Sunday, China’s state development bank is providing its equivalent Belarusian lender $700 million in low-interests credits to be repaid within 15 years. China Development Bank also agreed to extend commercial Belarusian lender ASB Belarusbank credit worth $300 million.

BRIEF Avengers: Age of Ultron tops charts, crushes Hot Pursuit LOS ANGELES - The Age of Ultron is not over. The Avengers sequel topped the domestic box office for the second weekend in a row with an estimated $77.2 million according to Rentrak estimates Sunday.

The film has earned a staggering $312.9 million in just 10 days in theatres, tying with The Dark Knight to become the second-fastest film to do so.

While a wild success by any measure, the film is still lagging behind the record-setting precedent of 2012’s The Avengers, which made $103.1 million in its second weekend in theatres and had a domestic total of $373 million at the same point in the cycle.

Avengers: Age of Ultron also added $68.3 million internationally, bringing its worldwide total to $875.3 million.

The Disney and Marvel sequel opens in China on May 12 with midnight screenings.

The midnight sellouts have even prompted Chinese IMAX screens to add 3 a.m. showings to their schedule.

Hot Pursuit, meanwhile, failed to make a significant mark in its debut weekend, earning a less-thanimpressive $13.3 million.

The Reese Witherspoon and Sofia Vergara buddy comedy, which cost a reported $35 million to produce, was projected to earn at least $18 million out of the gates.

Kelly Ripa, John Oliver, Thomas Roberts among recipients of 26th annual GLAAD Media Awards NEW YORK — Kelly Ripa, John Oliver and Thomas Roberts are among the recipients of the 26th annual GLAAD Media Awards.

The awards honour those who further GLAAD’s mission of ensuring that stories of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people are heard through media outlets.

A presentation ceremony was set for Saturday night in New York. Other honorees included Time magazine, The Salt Lake Tribune, Univision.com and Sports Illustrated.

Ripa received GLAAD’s Excellence in Media award for her discussion and interviews with LGBT guests and supporters on the talk show “Live! with Kelly and Michael.”

Last Week Tonight with John Oliver was honoured as best talk show episode for a segment on Ugandan transgender activist Pepe Julian Onziema.

TV journalist and anchor Roberts received the Vito Russo Award, named for GLAAD’s co-founder and presented to an out LGBT media figure who has made a significant difference in promoting equality.

Rocker Ozzy Osbourne gives $10,000 to children’s percussion group after it covers his hit song LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Ozzy Osbourne has donated $10,000 to a Kentucky children’s percussion group after watching a video of the students performing Osbourne’s signature hit, Crazy Train.

The Courier-Journal reports the rock star saw a YouTube video of the Louisville Leopard Percussionists, a group comprised of more than 60 students, aged 7-14.

The group is a community non-profit organization funded by donations, performance revenue and album sales. The students come from 48 schools in the Louisville area and practice after school.

Founder Diane Downs uses a modular approach, teaching each student a specific part of a song.

The group has performed with My Morning Jacket, Dave Samuels, Louie Bellson and Ruben Alvarez.

Jason Priestley appears on the set of the film Away from Everywhere, in St. John’s, N.L. on Thursday, Priestley is a long way from the California zip code that first launched him to fame. Standing on a tree-shrouded movie set near Logy Bay, N.L., the 45-year-old actor and director is at an even greater emotional distance from sunny Beverly Hills, 90210.

We’re not in 90210 anymore JASON PRIESTLEY FILMS A DARK TALE IN NEWFOUNDLAND

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS LOGY BAY, N.L. — Jason Priestley is a long way from the California zip code that first launched him to fame.

Standing on a tree-shrouded movie set near Logy Bay, N.L., the 45-year-old actor and director is at an even greater emotional distance from sunny Beverly Hills, 90210.

He’s here to play Alex, a successful doctor who is unwittingly caught in a toxic love triangle after his wife starts an affair with his estranged brother, Owen, a writer just out of rehab.

The feature film Away from Everywhere is based on the book of the same name by St. John’s writer Chad Pelley.

“There are a lot of dark elements to the story,” Priestley said in an interview about 10 days into the three-week shoot. “It has been such a journey for us all. I think that’s why on our weekends we all try to have a little bit of fun, because Monday to Friday we tend to have to go to some pretty dark places.”

“Away from Everywhere” is steeped in bleakness, starting with the quote from Leo Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina that opens the story.

“All happy families are the same; all unhappy families are unhappy in their own way.”

Priestley is older now, with two young children of his own. He has honed his craft over the years behind and in front of the camera, and on projects ranging from HBO Canada’s award-winning TV show Call Me Fitz to decent reviews for his theatrical turn as a ruthless lawyer in the Toronto production of David Mamet’s Race.

The Vancouver-born nice guy still shows flashes of the earnest Brandon Walsh when he describes

being so far removed from the big cities like L.A. or New York that have been home for most of his life.

For one thing, there aren’t hordes of paparazzi ready to pounce if he comes out of a movie theatre with his family.

“To come to small towns like this where the people are incredibly friendly and to just have the ability to walk around ... is really a lot of fun for me.

There’s a wonderful mix of the small-town feel but there’s also a wonderful sophistication here.”

It’s Priestley’s first visit to St. John’s, where his Twitter photos of Iceberg beer and storefronts with names like The Tickle Trunk have set fans abuzz.

He saw his first actual iceberg, albeit at a distance, from the top of Signal Hill. The city’s charms have been a welcome respite from the intensity of the film set, he said. Priestley worked with many Newfoundlanders while making Call Me Fitz in Nova Scotia.

“They always talked about St. John’s and what a vibrant scene it was for food and for music,” he said.

“It’s really beautiful, and the people have been fantastic.”

Director Justin Simms said he immediately thought of Priestley for the role of Alex, a man wrestling with anger and regret.

“We really needed an actor who can play the harder parts of the character but still maintain sympathy so that the audience wouldn’t check out on him.”

Simms describes Away from Everywhere as a sort of ’70s-era throwback to the deep character studies that were then more common.

“It’s really about the people and about the various kinds of turmoil that can happen inside of us, how that can have us take actions that we’ll come to regret but that, ultimately, will help us find who we are.”

Joanne Carson, ex-wife of former Tonight Show host, dies in Los Angeles at 83 LOS ANGELES — Joanne Carson, the second wife of “Tonight Show” host Johnny Carson, has died in Southern California. She was 83.

Ed Rada, the executor of her estate, says Carson died Friday at her longtime home in Los Angeles.

Rada says she had been in declining health and was in hospice care. Born Joanne Copeland in Los Angeles, she married Johnny Carson in 1963, a year after he began hosting The Tonight Show.

After their divorce in 1972, she became close to writer Truman Capote. He kept a writing room at her house, where he died in 1984.

Rada says she will be interred next to Capote at Westwood Cemetery in Los Angeles.

Joanne Carson had a second marriage late in her life to Richard Rever that also ended in divorce.

“You can baby-proof a house,” Brassfield said. “But I don’t think it’s possible to Benno-proof a house. Lord knows, we’ve tried and failed.”

IN

BRIEF Vet removes 23 live rifle founds from dog’s stomach MOUNTAIN HOME, Ark. — An Arkansas veterinarian has kept a dog from going out with a bang after the animal ate 23 live rifle rounds.

Benno, the 4-year-old Belgian Malinois, had surgery last week to remove the .308 calibre ammunition from his stomach, The Baxter Bulletin reported.

Owner Larry Brassfield said Benno has eaten socks, magnets and marbles, but he didn’t expect the animal would bother a bag of bullets by his bed.

Brassfield and his wife realized Benno needed medical attention after the pet vomited up four rounds.

Veterinarian Sarah Sexton at All Creatures Animal Hospital removed 17 rounds from Benno’s stomach but left two in his esophagus, which the dog was allowed to discharge on his own.

“This is something they certainly did not cover in school,” Sexton said.

“I’ve had dogs eat things before, mostly stuffed toys. Once I had one swallow a hearing aid, but I think this takes the cake.”

Brassfield said he won’t leave ammo lying around anymore but isn’t optimistic that Benno will stick to dog food.

Japanese monkey can keep regal name TOKYO — A monkey born in a Japanese zoo will keep its name Charlotte, after all.

Oita city officials settled a national debate over whether calling the monkey Charlotte offends its British royal namesake.

The officials said Friday they will stick to their first choice because there was no protest from Britain’s royal family.

“We have decided to respect the feelings of the people who voted for the name to congratulate the birth of the princess,” said city spokesman Kazuyuki Adachi.

The name flap began Wednesday when the popular Takasakiyama Natural Zoological Garden named a newborn macaque Charlotte, which was the favourite in a public ballot.

Immediately after the decision was announced, the zoo was flooded with protests from some Japanese who said it was disrespectful to British royals.

Adachi said officials took seriously the views of both sides.

Oita Mayor Kiichiro Sato endorsed the decision, saying: “(The monkey) is given a wonderful and cute name, Charlotte. I think we should stick to Charlotte.”

Long distance relationship hurt by other man Dear Annie: Many years ago, “Hazel” sat next to me in high school and apparently had a crush on me. (I had no clue.) She married someone else, and her husband passed away 20 years ago. Four years later, she met “Larry,” who is married and says he can’t divorce because of his religion. He tells Hazel he loves her and often drops by with gifts. She told him she loves him, but just as a friend. She thinks he is wonderful but says there is nothing physical between them.

My wife died a year ago. A few months later, Hazel contacted me. We hit it off right away. She lives three hours away, so we take turns visiting every two weeks. We get along very well, except when the subject of Larry comes up.

Hazel says her relationship with him is over now that I’m in the picture, but I discovered that he had stopped by again with a gift. She said she didn’t let him in the door. The other day, she

slipped and called me “Larry.” She apologized, but you can imagine how that made me feel. I’m starting to believe I’m her rebound guy. I think she is crazy about Larry and if his wife should die, she’d be at his MITCHELL door in a heart& SUGAR beat.

Is it possible for Larry and Hazel to be such good friends without something more going on? He even told her about his erectile dysfunction, but I worry that may have come from first-hand knowledge.

Hazel says she loves me and has for

ANNIE ANNIE

HOROSCOPES Monday, May 11 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DATE: Cory Monteith, 33; Frances Fisher, 63; Holly Valance, 32 THOUGHT OF THE DAY: Fill your day with innovative ideas and intelligent conversations.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Imaginative and creative, you have a plethora of projects that you pursue with considerable passion. 2015 is the year to be more creative and compassionate at school or work.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Today’s stars highlight group activities, social networking and having fun with female friends. The more you network with colleagues, clients or customers, the more successful you’ll be.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): What you want and what you need may be two very different things today Taurus. Put concentrated energy into clarifying

your goals and dreams for the future.

Then you’ll really start to fly.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Timepoor Twins — you’re keen to plunge into a project ASAP but make sure you do your homework first. Otherwise there’ll be mix-ups and general mayhem along the way.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): If you are trying to achieve something — or persuade someone — then strive to be as direct and honest as you possibly can. Side-stepping will get you nowhere fast Crabs!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Others are looking to you for fresh ideas and creative inspiration. It’s time for adventurous Lions to lead the way! Your love life is complicated but that’s just the way you like it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): If you get the balance right between being innovative and being organized, you’ll

years, but the “green-eyed monster” has taken over my heart, and I don’t know how to get rid of these jealous feelings. — Very Confused Dear Confused: Your jealousy is not completely unfounded. Hazel rejected Larry not because she dislikes him, but because he is married. If that obstacle didn’t exist, there is indeed the possibility that she would be more interested in him, especially since he seems to be quite interested in her.

Their relationship is friendship mixed with flirting, and that is why you react so negatively toward him.

You are not the rebound guy. You’re the backup. Hazel needs to tell Larry to pay more attention to his wife — no more gifts, no more surprise visits, no more intimate confidences, and the friendship must include you. If she is unwilling to do this, her attachment to him is stronger than it should be. Either give her time to see whether she becomes more connected to you, or let

her go.

Dear Annie: “Like Pregnant Not Fat,” I am amazed at how rude people can be to pregnant women.

I am pregnant with my second child and have been asked, “Was this pregnancy planned?” It is such a personal and nosy question, it stuns me. Any suggestions on how to respond? — Expecting Mom in the Midwest Dear Expecting: The default response to nosy, intrusive questions is, “Why do you need to know?” But if any of our readers has a better one, we’ll be happy to print it. And by the way, we now have a Facebook page: Facebook.com/AskAnnies. So check it out, like it, share it and post comments!

Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column. Please email your questions to anniesmailbox@ creators.com, or write to: Annie’s Mailbox, c/o Creators Syndicate, 737 3rd Street, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254.

have a rewarding day. You’ve got a lot of responsibilities at the moment but it’s nothing you can’t handle.

LIBRA (Sept.

23-Oct. 22): Friendships with females are favoured, as you enjoy JOANNE the company MADELEINE of like-minded MOORE souls. But avoid getting carried away when you go shopping, as you feel the need to indulge yourself.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Strive to keep communication flowing with family and friends today. Expect some hiccups but a flexible and fun attitude will help you cope with current changing circumstances.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

You’re keen to communicate about unconventional topics, as you share ideas with family, friends and acquaintances. But avoid blurting out something totally inappropriate.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Business deals are favoured Capricorn — but make sure you do your homework thoroughly and read all the fine print first. Whether you are at home or work, put time aside to socialize today.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The Moon’s in your sign, which bodes well for most of the day’s activities. You’re feeling optimistic and generous, but don’t promise more than you can realistically deliver.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Relationships with children, teenagers and friends should improve as Venus calms troubled waters, and helps you see the current situation from a much broader perspective.

D3 Severe weather hits across U.S.

MONDAY, MAY 11, 2015

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS South Dakota was the centre of weather extremes Sunday, with a tornado damaging a small town on the eastern side of the state and more than a foot (30 centimetres) of snow blanketing the Black Hills to the west.

Several Great Plains and Midwest states were in the path of severe weather, including in North Texas, where the National Weather Service said a likely tornado damaged roofs and trees near Denton. At the same time, a tropical storm came ashore in the Carolinas and wintry weather also affected parts of Colorado.

Tropical Storm Ana made landfall near Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, on Sunday morning and was downgraded to a tropical depression by Sunday afternoon.

The storm’s maximum sustained winds were at 35 mph (56 kph), and it was expected to move over eastern North Carolina on Sunday night.

In South Dakota, National Weather Service meteorologist Philip Schumacher said law enforcement reported a tornado about 10:45 a.m. Sunday in Delmont — about 90 miles (145 kilometres) from Sioux Falls. Delmont Fire Chief Elmer Goehring told The Associated Press that there “have been some injuries,� and Avera Health spokeswoman Lindsey Meyers said three people were injured and in good condition at a local hospital. No deaths were reported.

South Dakota Department of Public Safety spokeswoman Kristi Turman said about 20 buildings were damaged and the town has no water, power or phones. “One side of town was taken away,�

Delmont resident Anita Mathews told the AP. She said a large Lutheran church had been heavily damaged as well as a new fire hall.

Kunkel, a regular on the trail, couldn’t recall ever having skied it in May before. A snowstorm Saturday night dropped six inches of snow in parts of the Pikes Peak region. aged trees near Denton, about 40 miles (65 kilometres) northwest of Dallas, according to National Weather Service meteorologist Tom Bradshaw.

About 100 miles (160 kilometres) west of Fort Worth, people in the sparsely populated ranching and farming community of Cisco were left to clean up from Saturday’s tornado that left one person dead and another in critical condition. Cisco Fire Department spokesman Phillip Truitt said the two people were near each other.

The National Weather Service said Sunday that the Cisco tornado was rated an EF-3, with winds ranging from 136 to 165 mph (219 to 266 kph). At least

six buildings were damaged south of Cisco, which is about 100 miles (160 kilometres) west of Fort Worth, as well as six others near Lake Leon, Truett said.

A strong line of storms moved through the Dallas-Fort Worth area Sunday morning, forcing significant delays and a total of 100 flight cancellations at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport and Dallas Love Field Airport.

Forecasters issued tornado watches through Sunday evening for parts of Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Iowa, South Dakota, Nebraska and Minnesota.

Farther north, a late-season snow fell in parts of the Rockies, western Nebraska and western South Dakota.

National Weather Service meteorologist Kyle Carstens said between 10 to 18 inches (25 to 45 centimetres) of snow was on the ground Sunday morning in the Black Hills, and totals could reach 20-24 inches (50 to 60 centimetres) by the time the system moves out. Rapid City, South Dakota, had 8 to11 inches (20 to 27.5 centimetres), accompanied by 20-30 mph (32-48 kph) winds.

Nearly 18 inches (45 centimetres) of snow fell in southern Colorado, a state that also saw hail, flooding and tornado warnings over the weekend.

NY nuclear plant fire produced Hudson River oil slick

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BUCHANAN, N.Y. — Part of a nuclear power plant remained offline Sunday after a transformer fire created another problem: thousands of gallons of oil leaking into the Hudson River.

At an afternoon briefing, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said emergency crews were out on the water near Buchanan trying to contain and clean up the transformer fluid that leaked from In-

dian Point 3. “There’s no doubt that oil was discharged into the Hudson River,� Cuomo said. “Exactly how much, we don’t know.�

The transformer at the plant about 30 miles (50 kilometres) north of midtown Manhattan failed on Saturday evening, causing a fire that forced the automatic shutdown.

Cuomo revealed Sunday that even after the blaze on the nonnuclear side of the plant was quickly doused, the heat reignited

the fire, but it was again extinguished.

Oil in the transformer seeped into a holding tank that did not have the capacity to contain all the fluid, which then entered river waters through a discharge drain.

Joseph Martens, commissioner of the state Department of Environmental Protection, said measures were taken to keep the oil from spreading, including setting up booms over an area about 300 feet (90 metres)in diameter in the water.

KUMANOVO, Macedonia — An armed group battling Macedonian police over the weekend left 22 people dead and aimed to destabilize the country with terror attacks, the country’s president declared Sunday in a nationwide television address.

President George Ivanov spoke after an emergency meeting of Macedonia’s National Security Council in the capital, Skopje. He had cut short his visit to Russia on Saturday, the day the armed clashes began in the northern town of Kumanovo. “Police have prevented co-ordinated terrorist attacks at different locations in the country that would cause serious destabilization, chaos and fear,�

Ivanov said. “The members of the group are extremists and criminals with remarkable military training and skills. That’s why we have paid such a high price Ends Mayy 31,2015 with the loss of lives.�

Baby born after mom has ‘game-changing’ treatment

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — At less than four weeks old, little Zain Rajani has no idea he’s made history.

He’s the world’s first baby born following an innovative procedure being hailed as a game-changer in the treatment of infertility.

The Toronto infant was born on April 13 through in-vitro fertilization. Eggs extracted from his mother Natasha Rajani were given a power boost using parts of the cell called the mitochondria, which convert nutrients into energy and are known as the powerhouses of every cell.

First, mitochondria were taken from egg precursor cells in the lining of her ovaries. These cells are the yet-to-be developed forerunners of fully formed eggs.

The mitochondria were then injected into her eggs along with her husband’s sperm. Resulting embryos were then implanted in her uterus.

Rajani, 34, is among nine Toronto women with poor egg quality who have been able to get pregnant after going through the Augment procedure.

The eight remaining women — including one carrying twins — are expected to give birth in the coming weeks and months.

“We’re extremely grateful for having been able to take part in the procedure and as a result exceptionally grateful to have Zain,” said Rajani, who hadn’t thought of her infant as being a pioneer until a friend pointed out that Zain had made history.

“I always thought, and I still to this day see Zain as a symbol of hope for other women suffering with infertility, especially as it relates to poor egg quality,” she said Friday.

Rajani and her husband Omar had been trying to start a family for about four years, but following an ectopic pregnancy and a failed IVF attempt, the couple wasn’t sure what to try next. Despite her relatively young age, doctors had determined Rajani’s eggs were not robust enough to produce healthy embryos.

But that changed with Augment, a technique developed by OvaScience, a Cambridge, Mass.-based fertility technology company, which has been working with doctors at Mount Sinai Hospital to introduce the treatment. (About 150 women around the world have now had the procedure, which is not yet approved in the U.S.) Dr. Robert Casper, medical director of Mount Sinai’s Toronto Centre for Advanced Reproductive Technology (TCART), said 35 Toronto women aged 40 and under had the egg-recharging procedure, resulting in embryo transfers for 28 of the women. Fifteen women got pregnant, six subsequently miscarried.

“That’s a pretty standard rate for the older infertility population,” said Casper, noting that women’s eggs can lose potency with age.

He likened the eggs waiting to mature inside the ovaries to a flashlight sitting on a shelf for many years.

“The flashlight itself is OK, but the batteries tend to run down over time,” he said.

“What we’re doing with this mitochondria injection is sort of replacing or adding more batteries to the eggs, to boost the energy up to be able to get that embryo to develop all the way to Day 5, when it will start to make its own new mitochondria.”

Because mitochondria from egg precursor cells contain DNA identical to those in mature eggs, the procedure does not change the baby’s genome. Using mitochondria from a donor egg in effect gives a child three biological parents.

“The cells are not manipulated in any way....

We’re not changing the genetic makeup of the child at all,” said Casper, who firmly believes the technique is safe.

Having the procedure adds US$23,500 to the cost of IVF, which carries a price tag at TCART of $8,000 per cycle, although it can vary depending on the fertility clinic.

While not a “miracle” treatment, Casper said,

Omar and Natasha Rajani of Toronto pose with their with baby Zain in this recent handout photo. A Canadian woman is the first mother to give birth after undergoing a new procedure that boosts the health of women’s eggs to improve the success rate of in-vitro fertilization. Natasha Rajani, 34, of Toronto gave birth to son Zain about three weeks ago. it does boost some women’s fertility, giving them a pregnancy rate of about 30 to 40 per cent, the standard success rate with IVF. But even more exciting is what else might be achieved with the egg precursor cells, which were discovered in the ovaries of mice in 2004 by Harvard Medical School researcher Jonathan Tilly, and then subsequently found in humans.

“Essentially, those egg precursor cells can mature into eggs,” said Michelle Dipp, co-founder and CEO of OvaScience.

The company is now developing a technique to grow up the precursor cells into mature eggs by moving them from the lining to the centre, or cortex, of the ovaries.

“We’re working on that now and so we will be introducing that into patients this year,” she said from Boston.

Women are born with a set number of eggs and once they’re gone, fertility ends. But if the new tech-

nique proves successful, egg precursor cells could conceivably stop the ticking of the biological clock — potentially allowing older women to get pregnant and give birth to their own biological child.

“Women get pregnant later in life with donor eggs all the time,” said Casper, whose centre will be involved with the new research.

“That’s why this seems to be what I consider a ground-breaking technique, because it does really change the paradigm.”

As for the Rajanis, they banked two frozen embryos created at the same time as the one that grew into Zain, which they hope may one day mean a sibling or two for their new son.

“I think both of us feel like we’re on Cloud 9,” said Omar Rajani, 39.

“It’s been a long journey for us, but we remained pretty hopeful throughout the whole process and we feel really fortunate to have received the treatment that helped us produce little Zain.”

OTTAWA — The Harper government says it supports a House of Commons motion calling for the removal of the federal tax on tampons.

It says the measure will be addressed in a future budget.

There have been several attempts since 2004 to pass a private member’s bill on the subject, including one currently in the queue sponsored by NDP MP Irene Mathyssen.

But since January, over 72,000 people have signed an online petition calling for an end to the levy on menstrual products, saying it’s a tax that unfairly targets women.The momentum prompted the New Democrats to try and get a motion passed before the House as well and they are using one of their few opposition days for the debate.

The vote won’t take place until next week.

But Susan Truppe, the government’s parliamentary secretary for the status of women, suggested Friday the motion will pass.

“The government does support this motion and will consider this proposal in future budgets,” she said during question period.

New Democrat Niki Ashton urged action now, not in a budget yet to come.

“That kind of support is not good enough,” Ashton said during the Friday debate.

Removing the tax isn’t a complex matter, she added.

“We’re talking about a very easy, simple act, here.”

Several NDP MPs also rose in the Commons Thursday to present formal petitions requesting an end to the tax; removing it has been estimated to cost the government $36 million.

Tabling a petition in the House means the government must issue a formal response within 45 calendar days. Supporters of the plan argue that it makes no sense for menstrual products to be subject to a tax, noting they are essential goods, not luxury items.

There’s no sales tax charged on cocktail cherries, wedding cakes, incontinence products or Viagra, they note, but all Canadian women must pay tax on a product they use every single month for close to 40 years.

“This is an non-optional tax that’s borne by only half the population,” said Kathleen Fraser, one of the women behind the online petition.

Tiny houses for the homeless MAN LAUNCHES ONLINE PUSH TO BUILD SMALL HOUSES FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NONE

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — Shortly after Elvis Summers befriended Irene McGhee, he learned she was sleeping on the streets of South Los Angeles.

So the man with the blue mohawk and wraparound shades decided to build the grandmother nicknamed “Smokie” a tiny house on wheels. Summers estimates he spent less than $500 on plywood, shingles, a window and a door for the 8-foot-long structure that can be moved around by one person.

It turned out so well that Summers launched a crowdfunding campaign to construct similar shelters for other homeless people in his neighbourhood.

He had no grand ambitions beyond lending a helping hand in a city with thousands of residents without roofs over their heads.

“Honestly, I thought I’d raise enough money to help a dozen people, call it a day, and then go back to stressing about my job,” said the 38-year-old, who runs an online apparel store.

Summers never thought more than 5.6 million people would watch a YouTube video of him constructing the house for McGhee, who’s been homeless for more than a decade. It ends with McGhee doing a little jig and hanging up a “Home Sweet Home” sign.

The GoFundMe campaign — called Tiny House, Huge Purpose — has brought in nearly $60,000 in less than a month.

And Summers’ inbox is overflowing with offers for help from carpenters, homeless advocates, retirees and children as young as 6.

Summers suddenly considers himself a man with a mission. He has started a non-profit and reached out to Los Angeles officials to get the city involved in his plan to build more tiny homes for transients.

Los Angeles resident Elvis Summers poses with his tiny house on wheels he built for a woman who had been sleeping on the streets in his South Los Angeles neighborhood on Thursday, May 7, 2015. Summers never thought more than 5.6 million people would watch a YouTube video of him constructing the 8-foot-long house for Irene “Smokie” McGhee, 60, a grandmother who’s been homeless for more than a decade. He estimates he spent less than $500 on plywood, shingles, a window and a door.

“People are calling it a movement,” he said Thursday.

“I’m humbled. But now I can’t turn my back on it.”

Builders said they would donate materials, contractors offered to help in the design of the small, wheeled structures, and chefs said they would bring food to the construction sites.

Summers said he wants to hire

homeless people to help with the construction. McGhee, 61, said she would be the first person to sign up.

“I’m ready to start building,” she said. “Give people a good night’s rest.

Someplace warm.”

It is unclear if the city would enforce rules for these homes. McGhee said police have told her she won’t be bothered as long as she moves the

home, which is small enough to fit in a parking space, every three days.

And the structure is so small that it wouldn’t require permits if built on private property, said Luke Zamperini, spokesman for the city Building and Safety Department.

“We do not consider it a dwelling or a building as it does not meet the definition of either,” Zamperini said.

Emma, Noah top list of popular baby names in 2014 about Social Security programs.

This year, the agency is promoting a new blog called “Social Security Matters.”

Pop culture has long influenced baby names. And so has religion.

Though today, the most popular names aren’t nearly as popular as the ones from 50 years ago.

Last year, 19,144 newborns were named Noah, and 20,799 babies were named Emma.

In 1964, more than 82,000 babies were named Michael, the top name for boys that year. More than 54,000 babies were named Lisa, the top name for girls that year.

“Parents don’t want a top 10 name,” Moss said. “They are looking for more unique names.”

Social Security also charts the fastest-rising names each year. These names may not be in the top 10 or even the top 100, but they moved up more spots than any other.

For girls, the runaway winner was Aranza, which jumped 3,625 spots to No. 607. Aranza is a popular Mexican singer. Also, there is a character named Aranza on the Mexican telenovela “Por Siempre Mi Amor,” which debuted in 2013.

Also rising: Montserrat and Monserrat (different spelling), and Maisie.

Maisie Williams is an actress on the HBO show, “Game of Thrones.” She apparently carries some weight in the world of baby names. She plays a character called Arya — Arya jumped 62 spots to No. 216 on the list.

For boys, the biggest riser was Bode, which jumped 645 spots to No. 783. Also among the top risers were Bodie

and Bodhi. Bode Miller is an Olympic skier. Bodhi is a Buddhist term for enlightenment or awakening.

Axl jumped 624 spots, to number 850. Hard rock fans may remember Axl Rose, the lead singer of Guns N’ Roses, a very popular band in the ’80s and ’90s. Younger fans may know that Fer-

gie, a singer in the Black Eyed Peas, named her son Axl in 2013.

“Anybody who chooses that name has already heard of Axl Rose,” Wattenberg said. “But maybe they hadn’t quite made the mental leap to thinking, ’Hey, I can actually name a baby that,’ until they saw Fergie do it.”

WASHINGTON — Emma is back.

After slipping from the top of the most popular baby names six years ago, Emma was back at No. 1 in 2014.

Noah was the top baby name for boys for the second year in a row.

The Social Security Administration released the annual list of top baby names Friday. Emma was followed by Olivia, Sophia, Isabella and Ava. Noah was followed by Liam, Mason, Jacob and William.

Emma’s popularity soared in 2002, the same year that Rachel, a character on the popular TV show “Friends,” named her baby Emma. Also boosting the name, actress Emma Watson played Hermione Granger in the popular Harry Potter movies.

Emma has been ranked among the top three baby names for girls since 2003, reaching No. 1 in 2008. In 2013, Emma was No. 2 behind Sophia.

“In this era when trends come and go faster than ever before, that’s incredible staying power,” said Laura Wattenberg, founder of BabynameWizard.com. “Emma seems to be the only name that America has been able to agree on in recent years.”

RAY BAN | SERENGETI | BOLLE | MAUI JIM Emma was a popular name in the early 1900s, reaching as high as No. 13 Serving Central Alberta in 1900. The name fell out of fashion in the middle of the century but started independently since 1972. gaining popularity again in the 1990s.
