A JOINT TASK FORCE WILL PATROL THE WEST COUNTRY THIS WEEKEND

BY MARY-ANN BARR ADVOCATE STAFF West Country campgrounds are filling up, Mother Nature seems ready to put on a shine, and enforcement officials are prepped and ready for action on the first long weekend of the season.

The thing to remember, for those headed into the Rocky Mountain House RCMP detachment area, is there will be no tolerance for illegal alcohol or drug use, and other actions such as mud bogging in waterways.

Rocky Mountain House Cpl. Wayne Howse said on Tuesday that a joint task force will be operating in the West Country and Clearwater County areas over the long weekend.

“The most important thing is we want to ensure everybody’s safety.

We’re looking at a lot of enforcement, making sure people are insured and registered, no consuming liquor and driving.

“But we also want to protect our resources.”

The task force is comprised of RCMP, Alberta Sustainable Resources personnel such as fish and wildlife officers, Clearwater County officers and search and rescue people.

They will be doing patrols on public lands in teams, with off-road vehicles.

Howse, a 33-year RCMP veteran, has been stationed in Rocky for the past six years.

He’s seen the problems in the West Country related to everything from rowdy campers to damage to public lands.

A proposal has been made by the detachment for resources to establish a special permanent task force devoted to protecting the West Country.

“It’s still in the works. There’s no timeline,” Howse said.

“We have a lot of issues back there.

All the quadding and land issues, trappers’ cabins broken into, (traffic on) closed logging roads, which are quite dangerous.”

Howse points to a recent incident where a logging truck driving down False Creek road came around a corner to suddenly find eight off-highway vehicles in front of him.

“It’s closed for a reason.” Oil and gas roads are also closed to the public.

People are ignoring signs and skirting barriers to make their way onto these roads, Howse said.

Prentice offers Notley insight, advice

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — Incoming premier Rachel Notley met with her predecessor Tuesday as Alberta’s government machinery continued to churn toward its first change in parties in almost 44 years.

Notley and Premier Jim Prentice met at Government House one week after the NDP won a majority of 53 seats and defeated Prentice and his Progressive Conservatives in the provincial election.

After the meeting, the two shook hands for photographers.

“I’m very grateful for the co-operation that we are receiving as we prepare to assume office,” Notley said.

“And today (Prentice) offered me his insight and advice, both of which are very valuable and ... I want to thank him for his service to the province.”

Notley wouldn’t say what Prentice told her and he declined to talk.

He announced on election night that he was quitting politics, despite just having reclaimed his seat in Calgary.

Prentice remains premier until Notley is sworn in, but has not been in the legislature and has not spoken to reporters since the election loss.

Notley said she’s worked out a plan with Prentice if an emergency arises before she becomes Alberta’s 17th premier.

“I have every reason to believe that Mr. Prentice will respect the results of

“Should there be an emergency, I’m your go-to person.”

She said there is still no date to swear her in and she wouldn’t comment on whether she’s decided on a cabinet. She must also revise and then pass the budget that Prentice ran on

during the campaign.

The delay is running up against other deadlines, including a May 31 date for school boards to submit their final budget plans. Notley has asked the Prentice government to extend that deadline for a month so that education officials can incorporate her promised budget changes to cover the cost of 12,000 extra students next fall.

“Our government was elected on a commitment to fund enrolment growth, and this extension of their budget deadline will permit us to act on this matter in good time for next year.”

She also announced some senior appointments, including Brian Topp as her new chief of staff. Topp is a former president of the federal NDP and was deputy chief of staff to Roy Romanow when he was Saskatchewan premier.

The election has radically redrawn the legislature chamber seating chart.

Seventy of the 87 members are new.

On Tuesday, Speaker Gene Zwozdesky, who lost his seat, instructed the newcomers on the ins and outs of legislature procedure and protocol.

He reminded them that the law gives them freedom to say anything they wish in the chamber, but cautioned them that it’s a room where even the calmest of people boil over.

“Emotion can overcome you in this chamber, unlike anything you’ve ever felt before,” said Zwozdesky.

“It can engulf you. It can enrage you.

It can frighten you. It can also make you laugh out loud on occasion.”

Dangerous loads

STORIES FROM PAGE A1

WEST COUNTRY: Bush parties still happening Last fall, two individuals were each fined $1,150 for driving on a closed logging road.

“Any recreational user should not be on these roads.”

Howse said it’s quite common to find off-highway vehicle drivers consuming liquor.

“A certain group does not adhere to the rules ... the education has always been out there. People know right from wrong, some just choose to ignore the warnings and the law.”

He noted that a recent fatality involving off-highway vehicles involved liquor.

Protecting waterways, fisheries As for the land, some people have not chosen to stay out of muskegs and rivers and waterbed, he said.

“And they continue to drive in them without realizing the impact that they’re having on our fisheries.”

This weekend, officials will also be enforcing the Public Land Act, and Forest and Prairie Protection Act, he said. Littering fines under the Public Land Act are more significant, requiring an automatic court appearance.

“The majority are really good at cleaning up. A lot of people are picking up messes left by others.”

But still, the large bush parties known to occur in the West County are still happening.

“Last year, we had a party site in the Rig Street area (west of Caroline) that was just a complete mess,” he said. “Unfortunately a lot of those kids are from the Red Deer area.”

Young persons drove a car “extremely dangerously” along quad trails in the South Fork area. They later abandoned the vehicle when it broke down, but not before smashing it up, he said.

“We’re pretty lucky we didn’t have any major incidents out of that.

“A lot of these people get quite angry when we do charge them for driving in the rivers. You hear the excuses about how industries cause so much more damage.

“You also have to remember that industry, when cutting logs and trees, they’re replanting them.”

Last fall, a man from Red Deer and one from Olds were charged under the Public Lands Act for driving in a stream. A Rocky judge recently handed them the largest ever such fines, $1,500 each.

“People should know that you don’t drive in a river. It’s where the fish live.” And the rivers in the West Country are the source of drinking water for many communities in Alberta, he said.

TUESDAY Extra: 1554627 Pick 3: 212

Howse also said that people can be fined for driving around with loads that aren’t secure.

A piece of firewood went through a windshield of a vehicle that was following a truck hauling firewood and a quad last year. It could have been a fatal, Howse said.

The fines range from $465 up to $776, depending on which act the charges are laid under.

“People should familiarize themselves with the laws. They all available on websites,” Howse said, although he says most people do follow the rules.

Another problem law enforcement has encountered is people camping at wellsites. They’ve found people smoking around them, and also having campfires beside them.

“It’s not very smart.”

A lot of times, oilwell workers will try to talk to these people but they end up meeting a lot of opposition, especially if the campers have been drinking.

Also, people cannot randomly cut down trees on public lands. A permit from ESRD is needed.

A man who chopped a tree down for no reason last year was fined $500.

“There’s a lot of laws out there,” Howse said.

With a forecast of warm weather, it’s expected the West Country will be busy this weekend.

Sylvan prepares for onslaught Closer to Red Deer, Staff Sgt. Gary Rhodes, in charge of Sylvan Lake detachment, said he expects they will see a busy weekend also in the town because of nice weather.

“If it’s raining out, we don’t have any issues.”

“It’s the first long weekend since the winter so psychologically people are ready to get out and go camping and do outdoor things. ... On a busy summer weekend, we have somewhere between 20,000 and 40,000 extra people coming out here,” Rhodes said.

“The long weekends may be a little different than say July 1. A lot of people go camping out west that would normally have come to Sylvan.”

During the summer and this weekend, too, more officers are brought in to Sylvan. A dedicated group of them will patrol the beach and not deal with other calls.

The enhanced policing has been done for about seven years now. “It’s challenging now sometimes to find infractions,” Rhodes said.

“I think the word is out ... you see policemen throughout the day ... and they’re in the bars, so it kind of puts a damper on people that might be inclined to break the law, social disturbances and that kind of thing.”

There is extra funding also to do boat patrols however the RCMP won’t be doing that this weekend.

Even though the ice went off the lake two weeks earlier than normal, the water is too cold, thus no one is boating, he said.

“I don’t know if people will even be swimming.” barr@reddeeradvocate.com

As usual, campgrounds in Central Alberta are busy and filling up for the May long weekend.

A mostly sunny weekend is expected. The forecast for Rocky Mountain House and area — where thousands of campers are headed — looks sunny, except for Sunday, which has rain in the forecast. Temperatures will range from 19C on Friday to 16C on Monday.

Janine Earl, the store manager at Fish Lake campground, which is operated by Westward Bound Campgrounds for Alberta Parks, confirmed on Tuesday that they are busy.

All their reservation sites are booked. However, there were still some first-come, firstserved sites available. The campground is located just west of Nordegg.

Campers were showing up as early as Tuesday to get an unreserved site, she said. She expects to be full by Thursday.

Asked if she had seen any bears, Earl said she had seen one out at Abraham Lake.

“A nice big black bear there. He was just lumbering along.”

Earl expected to see people who had reserved sites to start showing up on Thursday.

Some had come out already, left their units and gone back to work. They must pay for all the days their campers are on the sites.

Earl said that last year at this time, there was still ice on the lake and they had to plow snow out of the campground.

This year, the snow and ice are gone.

“This is crazy,” she said.

EDMONTON — A man is facing three charges after a speeding sport-utility vehicle smashed through a fence and plowed through a house in Edmonton.

Police say they got call early Monday about a driver who was seen heading in the wrong direction in the city’s northeast.

The driver wouldn’t stop, so the police helicopter followed and watched as the SUV reached speeds of 120 km/h.

The vehicle failed to stop at a T-intersection, hit the curb, caught some air and smashed through the fence and plowed through the dining room and kitchen before stopping in the garage.

Craig Daniel Head, who is 28, is accused of impaired driving, dangerous driving, and flight from peace officer.

He is in custody awaiting a bail hearing.

A ripped-up fence post was tossed through the air and went through an upstairs window into a room where children were sleeping.

The driver was sent to hospital with minor injuries, but no one in the house was hurt.

The family won’t be able to return to their home as investigators have determined that the structural integrity has been compromised.

‘I am a different person’ FULL PAROLE FOR MAN CONVICTED IN MAYERTHORPE RCMP SHOOTING DEATHS

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — One of two men convicted in the shooting deaths of four Mounties in rural Alberta has been granted full parole and says he’ll be able to deal with anyone who isn’t happy about his return home.

The Parole Board of Canada said Tuesday that Shawn Hennessey has been functioning well since he was allowed to live in a halfway house last fall. But it also expressed concern that he may not be welcomed by everyone when he rejoins his family in Barrhead, northwest of Edmonton.

Hennessey, 35, told the Shawn Hennessey board he will handle any hostility with apologies and declarations that he is a changed man. “I am a different person today,� he said.

Hennessey and his brother-in-law, Dennis Cheeseman, pleaded guilty to manslaughter for giving James Roszko a gun and a ride to Roszko’s farm near Mayerthorpe in 2005.

Constables Peter Schiemann, Anthony Gordon, Brock Myrol and Leo Johnston had been guarding a Quonset hut on Roszko’s farm during a marijuana grow-op and automobile chop-shop investigation.

Roszko ambushed and killed the officers before killing himself.

Hennessey said he used to be an immature, selfcentred person, who did and sold drugs and hung around with unsavoury characters such as Roszko.

He said he was scared and confused when he persuaded his brother-in-law to join him and dropped the killer off at the farm that night. “I should have done the right thing and phoned the RCMP,� he said. “I could have changed so many things.�

Hennessey was sentenced in 2009 to 10 years and four months. Cheeseman was handed seven years and two months and freed on statutory release in 2013.

While on day parole, Hennessey has been allowed to visit his wife and two daughters every weekend.

He said he has attended some of his youngest girl’s sporting events and many people have supported him.

But not all. He had wanted to attend a parade in the town but officials asked him not to come. “The community probably isn’t going to welcome you with open arms,� said parole board member

NDP pressure Conservatives to eliminate tampon tax

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — The federal New Democrats pressed the Conservatives on Tuesday for a definite commitment to eliminate the federal tax on feminine hygiene products after all parties voted in favour of a motion to do so.

Support from the Tories came after female Conservative MPs told their caucus that if they didn’t support the motion, the women wouldn’t show up for Monday night’s vote, The Canadian Press has learned.

But it’s unclear if that show of force will extend to the New Democrats latest demand — that the budget implementation bill currently before the House of Commons be amended so the tax can be removed immediately. “Everyone in this House agrees that this $36 million tax grab on women is unfair,� NDP MP Irene Mathyssen said Tuesday. “I’m very grateful there is unanimous agreement that we need change, now the Conservatives need to put that commitment into action.�

The New Democrats have been trying since 2004 to get a bill passed to exempt feminine hygiene products from the federal goods and services tax.

The problem with the tax, opponents argue, is that it’s discriminatory — only women pay it for a product they can’t live without. At the same time, things such as wedding cakes or Viagra evade the levy.

MPs said the Conservatives had considered doing something about it in the past and the issue gained new traction during pre-budget consultations thanks to an online petition campaign launched in January.

But the campaign gained momentum and national attention at the same time the government was in the midst of a frantic rewrite of the federal budget to account for the drop in oil revenues.

Dropping the tax meant finding $36 million a year somewhere else at a time when the government was

‘EVERYONE IN THIS HOUSE AGREES THAT THIS $36 MILLION TAX GRAB ON WOMEN IS UNFAIR . . . . NOW THE CONSERVATIVES NEED TO PUT THAT COMMITMENT INTO ACTION.’ — IRENE MATHYSSEN NEW DEMOCRAT MP

pledged to balance the budget even as revenues fell.

Supporters in the Tory caucus were told to wait.

With the issue in the spotlight, the New Democrats decided to devote one of their opposition days in the Commons to force a debate, rather than wait for their private members’ bill to come up for a vote.

Behind caucus doors, Conservative women declared there was no way they could vote against ending the tax and it was time to force the issue.

It didn’t hurt that motion only said the tax should be repealed and didn’t hold the government to a deadline.

Thus far, the Conservatives have said only that they’ll address the tax in a future budget.

But getting caucus on board also required a little education, several female MPs said, speaking on the condition of anonymity as they aren’t generally allowed to discuss what happens in caucus meetings.

They said many male colleagues had never contemplated the issue posed by a tax on items only women use and just didn’t see it as something that needed to be dealt with.

It took leadership by women and even some men in caucus to get everyone behind the vote, Kellie Leitch, minister for the status of women, said in an interview. “What I find with my caucus mates, when you lay out the facts, people judge things on the facts,� she said. “And that’s exactly what happened.�

Marilyn Kenny. “People have long memories ... We can’t forget the victims because there are many.�

When applying for jobs, Hennessey said he also came across people who wouldn’t hire him because of his name. But one employer “stuck his neck out� by giving him construction work and even a promotion.

Hennessey’s wife, Christine, sat beside him and wiped away tears as she told the board that her husband will always be linked to a crime that devastated the country.

Hennessey added that he thinks about the dead officers and their families every day.

As part of his release, he is not to contact any members of the victims’ families nor is he to travel to Lac la Biche, Alta. The mother of one of the RCMP officers lives there and requested he not be allowed in the town.

Myrol’s mother Colleen, who lives in Red Deer, Alta., said she started to cry when she and her husband learned about Hennessey’s release. “I said to Keith, ‘It’s over.’ You know, it’s been a long haul.�

She said she has written Hennessey a letter and tucked it away in her china cabinet until a day, maybe years down the road, when she’s willing to sit and talk with him.

Crews battling new wildfires in warm and dry western backcountry EDMONTON — Crews were fighting four new outof-control wildfires in west-central and northwestern Alberta on Tuesday.

Provincial wildfire officials said two of the fires were burning in the backcountry south of Edson.

Another fire was southwest of Nordegg near Highway 11.

There was also a blaze near Grande Prairie.

Government spokesman Richard Horne said the fires ranged in size.

Horne said the risk of wildfires in the regions ranged from high to extreme due to continued warm, dry weather.

Shots, crash into home, shatter quiet evening in Calgary neighbourhood CALGARY — Two men in Calgary are being treated for serious injuries after a shooting and a collision involving a car and a house.

Police say they got word late Monday night about a crash in a southeast neighbourhood, then received more calls about a shooting in the same area.

Officers arriving at the scene found a man with a gunshot wound inside a vehicle that had slammed into a bungalow.

A woman who lives in the home says she heard three to six shots before the crash, then discovered a man in the driver’s seat of the vehicle with a shoulder wound.

Officers later tracked down three other men who are believed to have been in the vehicle, including one who was also wounded.

Reacting to real threat?

Left-wing, right-wing, it makes no difference. Almost every elected government, confronted with even the slightest “terrorist threat,” responds by attacking the civil liberties of its own citizens. And the citizens often cheer them on.

Last week, the French government passed a new bill through the National Assembly that vastly expanded the powers of the country’s intelligence services.

French intelligence agents GWYNNE will now be free DYER to plant cameras and recording devices in private homes and cars, intercept phone conversations without judicial oversight, even install “keylogger” devices that record every key stroke on a targeted computer in real time.

It was allegedly a response to the Charlie Hebdo attacks that killed 17 people in Paris last January, but the security services were just waiting for an excuse. Indeed, Prime Minister Manuel Valls said that the law was needed to give a legal framework to

INSIGHT

intelligence agents who are already pursuing some of these practices illegally. France, he explained, has never “had to face this kind of terrorism in our history.”

Meanwhile, in Canada, Defence Minister Jason Kenney was justifying a similar overreaction in by saying that “the threat of terrorism has never been greater.”

Really?

In all the time since 9/11 there had never been a terrorist attack in Canada until last October, when two Canadian soldiers were killed in separate incidents. Both were low-tech, “lone wolf” attacks by Canadian converts to Islam — in one, the murder weapon was simply a car — but the public (or at least the media) got so excited that the government felt the need to “do something.”

The Anti-Terror Act, which has just passed the Canadian House of Commons, gives the Canadian Security Intelligence Service the right to make “preventive” arrests in Canada. It lets police arrest and detain individuals without charge for up to seven days.

The bill’s prohibitions on speech that “promotes or glorifies terrorism” are so broad and vague that any extreme political opinion can be criminalized.

In short, it’s the usual smorgasbord of crowd-pleasing measures that politicians throw out when they want to look tough.

It won’t do much to stop terrorist attacks, but that doesn’t matter as the threat is pretty small anyway.

France has 65 million people, and it lost 17 of them to terrorism in the past year. Canada has 36 million people, and it has lost precisely two of them to domestic terrorism in the past 20 years. In what way were those lives more valuable than those of the hundreds of people who die each year in France and Canada from less newsworthy crimes of violence like murder?

Why haven’t they changed the law to stop more of those crimes? If you monitored everybody’s electronic communications all the time, and bugged their homes and cars, you could probably cut the murder rate in half. The price, of course, would be that you have to live in an Orwellian surveillance state, and we’re not willing to pay that price.

Not just to cut the murder rate.

The cruel truth is that we put a higher value on the lives of those killed in terrorist attacks because they get more publicity. That’s why, in an opinion poll last month, nearly two-thirds of French people were in favour of restricting freedoms in the name of fighting extremism — and the French parliament passed the new security law by 438 votes to 86.

The government in France is socialist, but the opposition centre-right supported the new law, too.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s

Conservative government in Canada is seriously right-wing, but the centreright Liberals were equally unwilling to risk popularity by opposing it. On the other hand, the centre-left New Democrats and the Greens voted against, and the vote was closer in Canada: 183 to 96.

And the Canadian public, at the start 82 per cent in favour of the new law, had a rethink during the course of the debate. By the time the AntiTerror Act was passed in the House of Commons, 56 per cent of Canadians were against it. Among Canadians between 18 and 34 years old, fully threequarters opposed it.

Maybe the difference just reflects the smaller scale of the attacks in Canada, but full credit to Canadians for getting past the knee-jerk phase of their response to terrorism. Nevertheless, Parliament still passed the bill.

So should we chalk all this up as two more victories for the terrorists, with an honourable mention for the Canadian public?

No, not really. Islamic State, al-Qaida, and all the other jihadis don’t give a damn if Western democracies mutilate their own freedoms, as it doesn’t significantly restrict their own operations. The only real winners are the security forces.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Are Conservatives walking the plank across the country?

In 1904, American President Theodore Roosevelt, upon winning his second term, announced he would not be seeking a third term. He explained: “I feel very strongly that a public man’s usefulness in the highest position becomes in the end impaired by the mere fact of too long continuance in that position.”

In 2015, the Progressive Conservative alliance of Alberta government became in the end impaired by the mere fact of too long continuance in that position. Premier Jim Prentice became the lightning rod for the public’s discontent of a big blue dynasty that became at variance with its sole purpose of serving the citizens of Alberta.

Prentice stepped up to the control panel with much ballyhoo but was soon seduced by the perks of power. Euphoria turned into sobriety, then into fear, then became insatiable anger, unbeknownst to the inner circle of Alberta politics.

Euphoria found Rachel Notley of the NDP while sobriety found a partner in Brian Jean of the Wildrose, indifference found David Swann of the Liberals but anger remained with the PCs. To many, especially small “c” conservatives, the machine became a party of the elite. The large “C” Conservative Party became the plush home for the elite. The latest budget of 59 tax increases and fees for the citizens, and no increases for the corporate entities just added fuel to the angry fires burning beneath the surface.

Party and policies placed a distant second to the urgent need of removing a political growth from government.

There are only two Conservative governments left in Canada, the federal government and the Newfoundland and Labrador provincial government, and after October 19 2015 it may be just the one in Newfoundland and Labrador.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper will say the Alberta provincial conservative vote was split between two parties, Wildrose and the PC, and the federal conservative vote is consolidated under the Conservative Party of Canada.

In Alberta, the progressive vote had three choices: the NDP, the Liberals and the Alberta Party, and some even parked their vote with the Wildrose as a strategic move, but most felt the best strategic move was to park their vote with the NDP for the next four years.

Federally, the “anyone but Conservative” vote is really split between two parties but the general populace is beginning to see the wisdom in strategic voting and following the polls will vote in their riding for the candidate best situated to beat a Conservative candidate.

My prediction: will see name changes for political parties with the word “Conservative” in their title to distance themselves from all that is associated with that word which appears doomed to becoming a derogatory term.

If I was a Conservative politician, I would start listening more, talk less, disregard those talking points and become one of us again, and stop being a lackey for the party hierarchy, boys in short pants, the prime minister’s or the premiers’ offices.

There are a lot of former Conservatives taking the ramp to political oblivion.

Harper might be wise to consider Theodore Roosevelt’s words about the impairment of continuance.

Election result means Alberta can rebuild from the rubble I’ve been thinking on the new Alberta. A few thoughts keep coming up. ● The population that continually elected the 40ish years of PC rule is old now and they have a sense of how they will be treated by that “dynasty” in their twilight years- discarded. Wouldn’t be at all surprised if a ton of them voted anti-PC because of it. ● The influx of newly minted voters and other Canadian neighbours who moved here because of the high guaranteed social net or higher wages would welcome an NDP government and sure helped at the polling stations. ● The PC regime was rotted and beyond short- or long-term repair. ● How could Albertans not expect that the rest of the world would continue in real time even while our pre-1990 values continued to prevail. ● Corporate profits. Companies, massive or not, the expectation to make profits in Alberta and not throw what to them is a pittance into the tax pot, while at the same time have no plan for the people who make (made) said profits when business (read: profits) slow down — again — for the 20somethingish time in 75 or so years? ● What if anything has Alberta got for all of this?

No long-term, proactive infrastructure investment (much), short-sighted Heritage Fund abandonment, resources stripped and shipped instead of mandating complimentary refining industries, reactive decisions. Add your own agenda that didn’t happen under record revenue years; anything that never resulted in furthering of Albertans brick and mortar future.

So we received what we were told we needed — communism or fascism as PCs felt appropriate.

These all happened out east and led to unions, higher taxation and the big government to oversee it.

Makes me wonder who is really to blame; the governors who took advantage or the people who didn’t take advantage by thoughtfully choosing a government.

Any PC party that rises from the rubble is going to play the middle real hard, which will lead extreme fundamentalist parties emerging to rail against what will have become the norm.

These things are obvious to me now. Do I agree with them? Irrelevant. I’m forced to think beyond myself and focus on how to best prepare our kids so they aren’t “hard wired” by the new/next Alberta attitudes and cause them to fail themselves and their neighbours.

The history I recall is the blink of an eye, even to myself; but the PC drama is pretty easy to boil down now that we start over.

As a matter of record I chose to officially decline my 2015 vote in protest to the lack of choice and as a practical decision — no party was ready to govern in Alberta. With the PCs so far beyond reprieve and the rest no hard ground to stand on or experience to draw on.

But here we are. I have previously voted PC and Wildrose. I’m personally sick to death of people my age (40) and worse — younger — claiming the birthright of what are now past Alberta values; some of us lived out the end of them; those younger have had them passed down orally and internalized them.

Those of us who enjoyed those “birthrights” need move ahead and build our own.

BRIEFS

Parties blowing up the old system of election face-offs OTTAWA — Canadians can expect to see multiple federal election debates during this campaign season, likely over the summer and in different formats, as part of a major upheaval in the way the leaders square off in person.

YouTube, live-streaming, multiple moderators — it’s all on the table in the run-up to the October vote.

The Conservative Party of Canada appears to be taking the first step in shaking up the debate system, rejecting outright the traditional model of one debate each in French and English, both tightly controlled by the major networks.

The Conservatives and the NDP have instead said yes to two new debates — one proposed by the Frenchlanguage network TVA and another hosted in August by Maclean’s magazine. And they’re willing to do more.

The Liberals, meanwhile, haven’t made any commitments, but say that the time has come to create a new independent debate commission to oversee the particulars.

“I’m not saying yes to anything, I’m not saying no to anything, except to say, yes, we’re going to do debates,” Trudeau said.

“I’m anxious to debate, but we will decide in the coming weeks what they will be.”

Friendly-fire death in Iraq ‘tragic case of mistaken identity’ in the dark OTTAWA — The Canadian military has officially deemed the friendly fire death of Sgt. Andrew Doiron “a tragic case of mistaken identity,” but key questions remain unanswered about the investigation and whether the Kurdish fighter who opened fire will face any disciplinary action.

A carefully edited summary of three separate reports was released Tuesday and concluded the late night burst of gunfire west of Erbil in northern Iraq on March 6 was the result of a communications breakdown.

It was exacerbated by the fatigue

of peshmerga fighters, who 24 hours previously had been fighting for their lives to prevent being overrun by Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant extremists.

Doiron, a special forces operator, was fatally shot as his unit returned to an observation post in the darkness to help the local forces better prepare their defences. Three other Canadians were wounded in the incident.

Ottawa introduces new legislation to speed up removal of foreign criminals TORONTO — The federal government has introduced new legislation to speed up the process of removing foreign nationals who have committed serious crimes in Canada.

Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Steven Blaney said the Removal of Serious Foreign Criminals Act was tabled in the House of Commons Tuesday.

“What we are saying is if you are committing a crime in Canada and you are a foreign criminal, you are ineligible to stay in this country and you should go back home,” Blaney said at a news conference in Toronto.

The proposed legislation would allow the mandatory transfer of foreign criminals back to their original countries without their consent — the only consent needed being from the home country, Blaney said.

He said the pardon process will also be changed.

“We will ensure that all foreign nationals and certain permanent residents who have been convicted of serious crimes will no longer be able to avoid removal by seeking record suspensions — previously referred to as pardons,” Blaney said.

He said there have been cases where foreign nationals who have committed serious crimes have received pardons and allowed to remain the country.

“We can never allow that to happen again,” Blaney said.

And, Blaney added, refugees who are deemed a danger to the Canadian public would have their protected person status revoked when they are removed from the country.

“This will ensure that they cannot attempt to re-enter Canada with that status and cannot access the rights and benefits accorded that status,” Blaney said.

Blaney said part of the proposed legislation will be to give more power

NDP appreciate oilpatch: Encana CEO

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — The CEO of oil and gas giant Encana Corp. (TSX:ECA) said he believes Alberta’s incoming NDP government appreciates the importance of a healthy oilpatch.

“I think you’d almost have to be from another planet not to understand how important oil and gas is to Alberta and Albertans,” Doug Suttles said following the company’s annual meeting Tuesday. “I think clearly the industry’s having a tough time right now.”

At the meeting, Suttles fielded questions from shareholders about what the NDP election win could mean for the company.

One woman, who holds Encana shares in her retirement portfolio, said she was particularly worried about the NDP’s campaign promise to raise corporate taxes to 12 per cent from 10 per cent, putting Alberta on par with Saskatchewan and one percentage point higher than British Columbia.

“How are you going to going to combat this?” the shareholder asked.

Suttles replied that, so far, it seems the new government will be “cautious” about any changes.

The NDP said during the campaign it would also review the province’s royalty structure to ensure Albertans are getting their fair share of the province’s resource wealth. Shortly after her win, incoming

Encana President & CEO Doug Suttles attends the company’s annual general meeting in Calgary, Tuesday. premier Rachel Notley said she would reach out to executives to reassure them that no big decisions would be made without their input.

Notley said Tuesday those discussions have been “really good.”

“My guiding principle is the economic health of Alberta, job creation and maintenance, and as a result of that, the sustainability of the industry,” she said at the legislature in Edmonton.

Suttles said he and Notley had a brief chat over the phone.

“We just talked about meeting and making sure that the lines of communication and the contacts are open so that both the industry and government can talk about if there were policy change, what would be the impacts and implications of those changes?” he said.

Lately Encana has been focusing most of its spending on Texas and Western Canada, however, only about 20 per cent of its production comes from Alberta. A good chunk of that is on land that isn’t held by the Crown and wouldn’t be subject to provincial royalties. Suttles said it’s too soon to say whether a hike in royalties would cause Encana to shift around its spending. He said he understands that people can get jittery about change, but “we all just need to take a deep breath and pause.”

In the days following the election, oilpatch leaders expressed a willingness to work with the new government, but some reactions have been more negative than others. Last week, the president of Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. (TSX:CNQ), took aim at the plans to raise taxes and review royalties, warning “there are many alternatives for global investment.”

Judges make decision on fate of remaining Nortel assets

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — The scraps of bankrupt Nortel Networks, once considered the powerhouse of Canada’s tech sector, will be split between the various subsidiaries it once operated around the world, according to decisions released Tuesday.

Documents filed with a U.S. bankruptcy court in Delaware and the Ontario Superior Court say that US$7.3 billion of former Nortel assets will be divided on a pro rata basis between Nortel’s various international units. The filings say the proportional distribution would wind up giving all the creditors about 71 per cent of the return on their claims.

The decision was reached after months of court-

that show the phosphate mine, run by state-owned firm OCP, S.A. benefits the local people.

“Our primary concern is to ensure that there is local benefit and in recent years the benefit has been improving,” Burton said in a telephone interview.

“The mine that we are buying potash from employs a large number of Sahrawi people, something in the order of 60 per cent.”

Burton said KPMG independently completed the study showing local economic benefits, but that PotashCorp doesn’t have the right to release the study to the public.

BRIEF Nuns call on PotashCorp to review operations in contested Western Sahara SASKATOON — A group of Newfoundland nuns tried but failed Tuesday to get the Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan to conduct an independent review of its operations in Western Sahara.

The Sisters of Mercy of Newfoundland, along with Meritus Mutual Funds, submitted a motion at the company’s annual general meeting asking that it conduct and make public an independent assessment of its human rights responsibilities in the area.

The motion failed to pass. PotashCorp (TSX:POT) buys phosphate rock from a Moroccan state-owned mine that is located in the contested region of Western Sahara. The Sisters of Mercy have expressed concern that the human rights of the Sahrawi people, who live in Western Sahara, have been violated by the Moroccan government. However, PotashCorp public relations director Randy Burton said the company has obtained legal opinions from two law firms

room battles last year over Nortel’s remaining assets, which mostly came from the sale of certain parts of the company when it folded. The company was felled by changing market conditions, economic upheaval and an accounting scandal that devastated its stock price. Since its fall, Nortel broke apart and sold off various chunks of its business, including patents and wireless technology, the proceeds of which were the main issue of the court hearings.

The court decisions could bring some certainty for about 20,000 Nortel pensioners in Canada who have seen their benefits dramatically reduced since the company filed for bankruptcy in 2009.

“We’re pleasantly surprised,” said Mark Zigler of law firm Koskie Minsky LLP, which represents former and retired Nortel employees in Canada.

Refinery fined for safety violation after 2011 explosion that injured 52 workers REGINA — A Saskatchewan refinery is being fined $280,000 for a safety violation related to a 2011 explosion that injured 52 workers. Consumers Cooperative Refineries of Saskatoon pleaded guilty to failing to ensure that work was sufficiently and competently supervised. Occupational Health and Safety laid charges against the Co-op refinery in July 2013.

The department alleged the refinery didn’t implement a general corrosion monitoring program, failed to adequately maintain equipment and didn’t ensure worker safety. Four of five charges were withdrawn.

An investigation found that the explosion was caused by a ruptured pipe thinned by corrosion.

MONTREAL — Air Canada says higher revenues from bag and other fees are part of the airline’s drive to permanently raise profits even after fuel prices rise.

“Low fuel prices are a welcome tailwind, but history has shown how fickle oil pricing can be, so we remain intensely focused on the execution of the strategy that has brought us this far,” CEO Calin Rovinescu said Tuesday.

The country’s largest carrier earned a record $122 million in profits excluding one-time costs in the first quarter, thanks in part to a 25 per cent decrease in fuel costs for the same quarter the year before.

Air Canada (TSX:AC) said non-fare revenues per passenger increased 15 per cent in the first three months of the year, led by higher contributions from checked baggage, cancellation fees, seat selection, preferred seating and various upgrades.

Rovinescu’s comments come a week after WestJet Airlines also posted a quarterly record in net income due to falling fuel prices and higher fees.

The charges have left some passengers angry, accusing airlines of nickel-and-diming them relentlessly while at the same time removing the comfort of extra legroom and free on-board food.

But Rovinescu said the charges are broadly accepted in the United States and other parts of the world. In the U.S., airline industry bag fees rose five per cent to US$3.5 billion last year while the fees for changing reservations were up six per cent to US$3 billion.

Industry observers said airlines needed to change a broken economic model that saw too many carriers go out of business.

In exchange for keeping base fares as low as possible, airlines are charging passengers for the services they value. That includes checking luggage, preferred seating and soon, Wi-Fi. Air Canada said raising fees is part of the business strategy that also includes cutting its costs by expanding its low-cost Rouge leisure carrier, adding about 100 seats on large Boeing 777s and flying more new Boeing 787 Dreamliners.

Before adjusting for items such as foreign exchange and fuel hedging, Air Canada says its net loss decreased 9.4 per cent to $309 million or $1.08 per share. Revenues grew six per cent to $3.25 billion.

It earned 41 cents per share in adjusted profits, well above the 18 cent per share forecast by analysts polled by Thomson Reuters. That compared to a 46 cents per share loss a year ago.

On the Toronto Stock Exchange, its shares increased four per cent to $12.19 in Tuesday midday trading.

Since 2011, there have been four fires at the Regina refinery, including an explosion last Christmas Eve.

Rona says it’s not losing sleep over Lowe’s addition of former Target stores Rona isn’t worried that Lowe’s is expanding its Canadian presence by picking up several former Target locations across the country, with the Quebecbased home improvement retailer saying it will only match that effort if the price is right.

“They are present in all markets except Quebec so we are used to competing with Lowe’s,” CEO Robert Sawyer said after the company’s annual meeting Tuesday.

Lowe’s announced Monday that it had reached agreement to take over Target leases for an Ontario distribution centre and 13 former Target locations, almost half in Ontario and the rest in British Columbia as well as in Calgary and Regina.

Rona unsuccessfully bid on six sites, losing out to Lowe’s on two locations. Canadian Tire (TSX:CTC.A) is also taking over 12 Target locations. However, Rona (TSX:RON) will be relocating its small store in Chilliwack, B.C., to a larger former Target location.

It might also consider some of the 50 Target stores that have attracted no interest if property owners sweeten their deals.

Training, development will fuel economic growth In the last few days, two major events have made the news. The political landscape in Alberta drastically changed, and the first quarter financial results drove home the impact that low prices is having on the oil sector.

Real concerns exist for both future economic growth and emJOHN ployment prosMACKENZIE pects.

Please keep BUSINESS in mind, employBASICS ers will need highly skilled workers as the economy rebounds. While belts are being tightened in the resource sector, there are also industries where labour challenges continue to exist. Plus, an aging workforce will see a transition over the next decade, no matter how the price of oil fluctuates.

This being said, because of the prolonged uncertainty and volatility of oil and gas prices, many companies are facing shrinking revenues. External and internal pressures are forcing

companies to make difficult choices.

Attention is focused on ways to increase margins and improve profits in the short term in order to survive over the long term.

Although a last resort, one predominate cost-cutting measure is to reduce the workforce. It’s not an easy decision to make. While cutting staff does result in the immediate reduction in costs, a company ends up dealing with the direct side effects of this decision.

The loss of company knowledge and lower productivity are both potential outcomes. While staff may have similar competencies, specific skills are lost.

This experience leaves remaining employees the challenge of producing the same results. Low morale and reduced performance are often the result when a company downsizes.

Another area that is targeted to reduce costs is training and development. However, research indicates that this cost-saving decision places a company in a “no train, no gain” position. It is critical you maintain your competitive advantage. It’s also inevitable that the economy will rebound, and business that eliminates training finds itself unprepared and unable to meet the demands.

It’s proven that training programs help to increase employee morale and motivate productivity. Rather

Obama’s fast-track flop AGENDA SUFFERS SETBACK IN U.S. CONGRESS FREE-TRADE

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS WASHINGTON — U.S. President Barack Obama was dealt a stinging setback Tuesday in his attempt to reach a free-trade deal — and his own party delivered the blow.

Democrats voted en masse against granting fast-track negotiating authority, which would have helped clear considerable obstacles to achieving a 12-country Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal.

A late-stage round of negotiations is scheduled for this month. Several countries, including Canada, have described fast-track as a necessary condition for completing a deal.

Only one Democrat in the U.S. Senate joined the majority of Republicans who agreed to open debate on the measure, so it fell eight votes shy of the 60 per cent required to override a filibuster.

The White House played down the significance of Tuesday’s vote: “A procedural snafu,” said Obama spokesman Josh Earnest. Democrats cast it as a simple disagreement over a broader, four-bill legislative package.

But the vote left the president’s trade agenda in limbo. It exposed deep divisions among Democrats, after days of increasingly pointed barbs between the president and members of his party’s progressive left.

“What we just saw here is pretty shocking,” Republican Senate Leader Mitch McConnell said after the 52-45 vote.

“Other countries are taking a look at us.... (This is) not the headline we want to send around the world — that America can’t be depended upon. That America can’t deliver trade agreements...

“Hopefully there’ll be an opportunity to think this over.”

Under the U.S. Constitution, Congress has power over international treaties. Lawmakers can relinquish some of that power to the president by granting so-called fast-track — where they would forego the right to amend a deal, and just vote yes or no after negotiations are over.

The fate of the 12-country Trans-Pacific Partnership could hinge on it. The Canadian government, for instance, has said it won’t make concessions on agriculture imports if there’s a chance the deal could still be carved up later with amendments presented by 535 U.S. lawmakers.

Some Democrats are dead-set against fast-track on principle.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, a leader of the party’s progressive wing, has challenged the president in recent days.

She says the trade process is rigged by corporate interests — with 85 per cent of the people on the U.S. government’s

‘OTHER COUNTRIES ARE TAKING A LOOK AT US... (THIS IS) NOT THE HEADLINE WE WANT TO SEND AROUND THE WORLD — THAT AMERICA CAN’T BE DEPENDED ON.’ — MITCH MCCONNELL REPUBLICAN SENATE LEADER

trade-advisory committees representing industry lobbies.

Virtually everyone else is excluded from the process, she says. Even lawmakers who want a briefing on the negotiations have to hand over their cellphones when entering the briefing room, and agree not to take notes away with them.

“A rigged process leads to a rigged outcome,” Warren wrote in an open letter with her congressional colleague, Rosa DeLauro.

“Powerful corporate interests have spent a lot of time and money trying to bend Washington’s rules to benefit themselves, and now they want Congress to grease the skids for a TPP deal that corporations have helped write but the public can’t see.”

Lawmakers like Warren are particularly concerned that dispute-resolution mechanisms might allow companies to sue countries over health and environmental laws.

Other Democrats insisted they were merely contesting the fast-track bill on procedural grounds.

They said they wanted the Senate to consider four related trade bills simultaneously, including one that would allow retaliation against countries that manipulate their currencies.

The Republicans and the Obama administration say that’s a non-starter: those currency-manipulation measures could scuttle the entire TPP negotiations, they say.

Republicans accused some of their opponents of finding excuses to scuttle trade talks. The anti-trade Democrats have certainly been vocal in recent days.

California Sen. Barbara Boxer said she regretted voting for fast-track on the original NAFTA agreement, and quipped that it would meet the definition of insanity to make the same mistake twice.

Manufacturing jobs have plummeted by almost one-third in the U.S. since NAFTA came into effect in 1994. And the wages of working-class Americans have stalled in an era of job outsourcing.

But defenders of free trade argued that the per-capita income has continued to grow, trade-related jobs pay better than non-trade ones, and protectionism can’t undo the technological forces that have undermined U.S. manufacturing.

than worry about job security, staff are more engaged and committed to the company. This can translate to improved job performance and overall productivity.

A commitment to employee learning/training is a critical factor to retaining your team. Accepted knowledge and wisdom are invaluable. The traditional model of the workplace continues to transform to a team environment, with a framework of creative decision-making and leadership development at every level.

New and younger employees may mean extra investment. The truth is that trained individuals, especially the up-and-coming generations, will be more self-managed. They view support for learning backed up with principles of fairness and support, as critical to their and the businesses success.

If you are a solo entrepreneur, there are many ways to stay current and improve your business.

Make an effort to meet and build relationships with other successful and motivated people both inside and outside your own industry. The Chamber of Commerce and other business associations are great sources of information and training. Many often bring in well-known business experts. These types of workshops and seminars require little time, and are also great

networking opportunities.

There are many other cost-effective options to provide access to the learning resources, such as distance learning and in-house development.

In addition, there are several government training incentives available.

In Alberta, up to two-thirds of the cost of training for each employee (to a maximum of $10,000) is available. To get more details, go to http://www.albertacanada.com/opportunity/employers/jobgrant Experienced business owners realize that eliminating training and professional development will have a negative impact on business in the future. They will do a solid analysis of training needs specific to their company and look for ways to keep training a priority in order to survive the current economic conditions and be ready to meet future demands.

Regardless of the challenges due to the current business environment, training and development remains a solid investment. A skilled workforce will be vital to the economy moving forward.

Investors need to understand the fees they pay their adviser

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Investors may be more focused on the gains they’ve made in recent years than the fees they pay their financial adviser, but experts say they shouldn’t be neglected.

David Larrabee, a director at the CFA Institute, said the stock market has had a good run since bottoming out during the financial crisis.

“When your portfolio is growing at 15, 20 per cent a year, one to two per cent in advisory fees may seem like a small price to pay,” Larrabee said.

“But if instead your portfolio is only growing by four per cent, which could be our future, then all of a sudden those fees look pretty big.”

Financial advisers generally fall into two broad groups: fee-based, which charge a set fee or sometimes percentage of the assets under management, and commission-based.

Fee-based advisers have gained in popularity in recent years with new low-cost online alternatives, while commission-based advisers have been criticized for their potential conflict of

interest.

Larrabee said the choice depends on what you need from your planner and the services they offer.

“In both cases you can find good advice at a reasonable price, but also the flip side is in both cases you can be paying too much for that advice,” Larrabee said.

He said the fee structure is as important as the adviser putting their client’s interests ahead of their own.

“This is a higher standard of care than an adviser who simply commits to a standard of suitability,” he said.

The disclosure rules for investment advisers are changing. By the middle of next year, new requirements for annual performance reports and fee disclosure will take effect.

Starting July 15, 2016, advisers will be required to provide an annual report on charges and other compensation that shows, in dollars, what an adviser was paid for their services.

Cary List, president and chief executive of the Financial Planning Standards Council, said the key for investors is transparency on the part of the adviser about what they charge.

The S&P/TSX composite lost 109.49 points to 15,043.15, after falling 17.38 points on Monday.

The loonie traded at 83.21 cents US, up 0.63 of a U.S. cent from Monday’s close.

The Dow Jones industrial average closed down 36.94 points at 18,068.23, the Nasdaq fell 17.38 points to 4,976.19 and the S&P 500 lost 6.21 points to 2,099.12. Chris King, portfolio manager at Morgan, Meighen and Associates, said recent market fluctuations are largely seasonal, referring to the adage that cautions investors to “sell in May and go away.”

So all of this is OK.” In corporate news, shares of Verizon Communications Inc.

On commodity markets, the June crude contract closed up $1.50 at US$60.75 a barrel while June gold rose $9.40 to US$1,192.40 an ounce.

While most of the TSX sectors closed lower, the gold sector was 0.6 per cent higher, while the energy sector was down 0.32 per cent.

“Despite the rise in U.S. energy inventories, the discount on Canadian oil continues to narrow a little bit, and that’s because the refiners are looking for Canadian product to put in their refineries,” said King. “It’s heavier, and their refineries are built to process that heavier crude, as opposed to the lighter stuff that might come out of the U.S.” FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS Highlights at the close of Tuesday at world financial market trading.

Greece makes IMF debt payment ATHENS, Greece — Greece completed a 757 million-euro ($844 million) debt payment to the International Monetary Fund on Tuesday despite a cash shortage in government coffers in Athens. Greece’s government has tak-

The radical left Syriza-led government, elected in January, is locked in slow-moving bailout negotiations with international creditors and is seeking the release of stalled rescue loan money as state coffers run low.

The cash crisis is expected to come to a head in the next few weeks, with more IMF repayments looming in June. The government has already ordered local authorities, universities and hospitals to put their reserves in the central bank to help ease the cash crunch.

“It is now the turn of our (European) partners to take the steps needed,” Tsipras told ministers during a fivehour cabinet meeting to discuss the debt negotiations.

B4 Habs struck down by Lightning

WEDNESDAY, MAY 13, 2015

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Lightning 4 Canadiens 1 TAMPA, Fla. — In Michel Therrien’s eyes, his Montreal Canadiens lost their series to the Tampa Bay Lightning before Tuesday night.

They had opportunities to jump on Tampa Bay in Game 1 and to win Game 3. In falling behind three games to none, the Canadiens dug themselves too deep a hole and had nothing left in the tank to complete the comeback, losing 4-1 in Game 6 at Amalie Arena to be eliminated.

“I felt as a coach that physically and mentally we were drained,” Therrien said. “So disappointed. I guess those things happen.”

The Habs were the last Canadianbased team left in the playoffs. But for the 21st straight season, one will not win the Stanley Cup. Tampa Bay will face either the New York Rangers or the Washington Capitals in the Eastern Conference final beginning Saturday. It’s the Lightning’s third trip to the conference final and first since 2011.

“I’ve always talked about 2011 was the most fun I’ve ever had playing this game,” Lightning captain Steven Stamkos said. “We’re getting right on that right now.”

A second-round exit for Montreal looked likely after falling behind 3-0, but this team became the first in franchise history to even reach a sixth game when faced with that deficit.

That was little consolation in the moments after the season ended.

“That’s not really an excuse, though, because we put ourselves down 0-3,” goaltender Carey Price said. “It is what it is.”

For the first time in the secondround series the Habs were outshot, this time 28-19, and they weren’t close for the first time since a 6-2 blowout loss in Game 2. Price stopped 24 of the 27 shots he faced and took responsibility for his team being done.

But a lack of offence actually doomed the Habs, as Max Pacioretty’s goal late in the third period was more of a last gasp than a chance to get back into the game. Tampa Bay’s goals — two by Nikita Kucherov and one each from Stamkos and Ondrej Palat put Montreal in another hole too deep to climb out of, and Kucherov’s emptynetter sealed it. There were chances early on, but no adequate response to what Therrien called the Lightning’s best game of the series.

Tampa Bay Lightning center Steven Stamkos works around Montreal Canadiens defenseman Jeff Petry during the second period of Game 6 of a second-round NHL Stanley Cup playoff series Tuesday, in Tampa, Fla. “You can’t afford to have passengers, everybody has to be a leader, and I don’t think we had enough,” defenceman P.K. Subban said. “I don’t think we did enough to beat a good hockey team. We knew they were going to come out with their best effort tonight and we didn’t match it.”

The Habs finished the season with just three victories in 12 games against the Lightning, whom they swept out of last year’s playoffs.

“I feel like we played a good series,” said centre Tomas Plekanec, whose turnover led to Kucherov’s first goal.

“Although we lost all those games in the regular season, we played really good games. Personally I feel really better, but we just didn’t put those

Those weren’t the only telling numbers. Montreal scored 13 goals in six games against Tampa Bay and in the playoffs as a whole went 2 for 36 on the power play. When it mattered Tuesday night, they couldn’t crack Lightning goaltender Ben Bishop, who made a big stop on Plekanec and got some help from the post behind him on a shot from Pierre-Alexandre Parenteau. Bishop finished with 18 saves to help the Lightning advance.

But the Habs didn’t help themselves by missing opportunities.

“We could have scored goals, then they did, and since the second period we started pressing, forcing the plays too much,” Plekanec said. “They were

At one point Tampa Bay veteran Brenden Morrow levelled Alexei Emelin, and Alex Killorn crushed Subban.

The Lightning beat and beat up the Habs to knock them out of the playoffs.

“It was a great group to be around,” Pacioretty said. “It was a lot of fun overcoming a lot of adversity, proving a lot of people wrong that we were able to accomplish a lot. But we all had one goal in mind and we fell short.”

Notes — The Lightning were without winger Ryan Callahan, who had an emergency appendectomy Monday night.

Riggers finish strong in season opener

BY GREG MEACHEM ADVOCATE SPORTS EDITOR Riggers 6 White Sox 5 A slow start turned into a strong finish and the Red Deer Riggers opened their 2015 Sunburst Baseball League season Tuesday with a 6-5 win over the Parkland White Sox at Great Chief Park.

The visitors got a solo home run from Andrew Slinko in the first inning and scored three times in the third frame for a 4-0 lead, but the Riggers answered back with two runs in the fifth, one in each of the sixth and seventh and two more in the eighth inning.

“We were pretty rusty, we’re not in game shape,” said Riggers playing manager Curtis Bailey. “We’ve only had five practices and it showed.

“We were a little anxious, a little excited. We pushed things a bit but once we started to calm down and started to relax a bit, guys were feeling more comfortable.”

The Riggers were undefeated in Sunburst regular season and playoff action last season — and as a result will represent Alberta in the nationals in New Brunswick in August — and with 16 returning players and just two newcomers in Joel Mazurkewich and Greg Labranche, will be favoured to capture the league and provincial titles for a second consecutive year.

“We’ve set some goals — to win the league and provincials,” said Bailey. “We’ll keep building towards that and however that looks in the win and loss column . . . it really comes down to the end. If we’re playing together and getting along well then we’ll be successful.”

After the Riggers battled back to even the score at 4-4 in the seventh inning, Scott

Riggers second baseman Denver Wik makes a play to first during second inning action at Great Chief Park against the Parkland White Sox in Sunburst Baseball league action Tuesday.

Hoekstra restored Parkland’s lead with a solo homer in the top of the eighth.

But the hosts answered with a two-run round-tripper from Jason Louis in the bottom of the frame and Jaret Chatwood, pitching his second inning, held the visitors off the board in the top of the ninth to nail down the victory.

Louis also stroked a pair of singles and scored a run, while Kerry Boon cracked a two-run double, Chatwood and Kevin Curran each doubled and scored and Mark Fay and Shayne Court each knocked in a run.

Jarvis Grenier worked all eight innings on the White Sox mound, allowing 11 hits on 141 pitches.

The Riggers, meanwhile, used five pitchers. Josh Ed-

wards, who struck out the side, threw one inning, and starter Davin Gulbransen, Wylie Cunningham, Joel Peterman and Chatwood each worked a pair.

Bailey said the pitching carousel was by design. He also liked what he saw from his staff.

“Josh Edwards was injured most of last season.

He came back tonight and looked strong,” said Bailey.

“And Davin had gall bladder surgery a few months ago, so it was good to get him back in right away.

“It was a good start to the season.”

The Riggers return to action next Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. against the visiting Sherwood Park Athletics. gmeachem@reddeeradvocate.com

“This team really emptied the tank to get into the post-season. It was a learning experience those three weeks we were in the post-season.”

Brodie and forward Josh Jooris, both 24, as well as Monahan and 25-year-old forward Lance Bouma were young Flames who took significant steps forward in their progression this season.

Rookie forwards Sam Bennett, 18, and 23-year-old power forward Michael Ferland were impact players when they got their chances to play in the post-season.

BRIEFS

Encarnacion homers twice as Blue Jays beat bumbling Orioles BALTIMORE — The Toronto Blue Jays smacked the ball around the ballpark against an array of Baltimore pitchers and Mark Buehrle mowed down the Orioles with very little difficulty.

Although Toronto really didn’t need any help from the bumbling Baltimore defence, three throwing errors by the usually sure-handed Orioles contributed heavily to the Blue Jays’ 10-2 victory Tuesday night.

Edwin Encarnacion tied the game with a solo shot in the sixth inning and capped a four-run seventh with a drive off Tommy Hunter. It was his 19th career two-homer game and second this season — both against Baltimore.

Josh Donaldson also homered and Ryan Goins had three hits for the Blue Jays, who scored the game’s final 10 runs.

That flurry included four unearned runs in the eighth inning, courtesy of errors by first baseman Chris Davis and shortstop J.J. Hardy.

Buehrle (5-2) gave up two runs in beating the Orioles for the third time this season. The left-hander is 3-0 with a 3.50 ERA against Baltimore and 2-2 with a 9.00 ERA against everyone else.

Jimmy Paredes drove in two runs and Manny Machado had three hits for the last-place Orioles, who have lost six of eight.

Canada to play Belarus in world hockey championship quarter-finals PRAGUE, Czech Republic — Canada may have rolled through the preliminary round at the world hockey championship, but there are plenty of reasons for caution as a quarter-final against Belarus looms.

Belarus clinched fourth place in Group B with a 3-2 win over Norway on Tuesday, setting up a playoff matchup Thursday with Canada. The Canadians finished first in Group A, capping their perfect run through the preliminary round with a 10-1 rout of Austria.

But the Belarusians are hardly pushovers. They won four times in regulation in the preliminary round, including a convincing 5-2 victory over the United States, and two of their three losses came in overtime.

In other preliminary action Tuesday, Jack Eichel scored with 28 seconds left in overtime to give the United States a 5-4 victory over Slovakia. The U.S clinched the top spot of Group B and will face Switzerland in the quarter-finals.

Finland topped Russia 3-2 in a shootout in a matchup for second place in Group B. Finland will play host nation Czech Republic in the quarterfinals, and Russia takes on Sweden.

In its final game, the Czech Republic edged Switzerland 2-1 after a penalty shootout with Michal Vondrka scoring the winner. France beat Latvia 3-2 in a shootout in a matchup of bottom teams in Group A.

Top prospect Connor McDavid named OHL’s most outstanding player TORONTO — Erie Otters forward Connor McDavid was rewarded for his tremendous season Tuesday by winning the Red Tilson Trophy as the Ontario Hockey League’s most outstanding player.

McDavid, a virtual lock to be selected first overall at next month’s NHL Entry Draft, was third in the OHL with 120 points (44 goals, 76 assists) in just 47 games. The 18-year-old from Newmarket, Ont., also had an OHL-best rating of plus-60 during the regular season.

McDavid finished well ahead of Barrie Colts forward Joseph Blandisi in the media voting. He will be the OHL’s nominee for the Canadian Hockey League player of the year award at this month’s CHL Awards ceremony in Quebec City.

Once the junior post-season concludes, McDavid will remain in the spotlight ahead of the June 26-27 NHL draft in Sunrise, Fla. The Edmonton Oilers own the first overall pick after winning the draft lottery last month.

LeBron James scores 38, powers Cavs to win over Bulls in heated Game 5 CLEVELAND — LeBron James scored 38 points, Kyrie Irving added 25 and the Cleveland Cavaliers held on for a 106-101 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday night to take a 3-2 lead in their testy Eastern Conference semifinal.

Showing no ill effects from a sprained left ankle, James, who added 12 rebounds, six assists and didn’t have a turnover in 41 minutes, ensured the Cavs will again play at home this season.

They can wrap up the best-of-seven series with a win in Game 6 on Thursday night back at United Center in Chicago, where the teams exchanged buzzer-beating victories last weekend.

The drama wasn’t quite as high in Game 5, but it was close and it was intense.

Jimmy Butler scored 29 and Mike Dunleavy 19 for Chicago. Derrick Rose scored 16, 12 in the first quarter, but shot just 2 of 15 in the final three quarters.

On the bubble: Top 50 qualifying for U.S. Open, British Open starts next week GOLF NOTES

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

“I’ve been underplaying on purpose, because I very often feel that in the summer I’m spent,” Ogilvy said. “This was the year to experiment and toy with the schedule a little bit. I don’t think I’ve played enough tournaments to this point.”

He goes from Quail Hollow to Colonial and likely will play the Byron Nelson. If not, he would go to Memorial. And after the U.S. Open, he’s headed for a holiday at home in Australia before going to St. Andrews.

There’s only one problem.

By saving himself for the summer months, what if it’s a short summer? Ogilvy is No. 159 in the FedEx Cup. His season could end in August. What if he doesn’t even qualify for the playoff events?

“I figure there’s always time,” he said. “And if I don’t, I don’t. It’s not the end of the world. I’ve spent so much time worrying about that, and it’s not conducive to playing well. Last year proved that. I had a horrific year. I win one week and it changes everything. One week and 27 holes.”

The one week was a win in Reno. The 27 holes were at the TPC Boston, which led to a runner-up finish and put him into the Tour Championship.

“Maybe I have that one week at St. Andrews or Chambers Bay or next week, whatever,” he said.

“Stop chasing it. Stop worrying.”

DIFFERENT ROADS: On the same day that Rickie Fowler won The Players Championship and its $1.8 million prize, Rhys Davies of Wales won a Challenge Tour event in Turkey. It was his first victory in more than five years.

Fowler and Davies played at Royal County Down in 2007 at the Walker Cup, and Davies must have left quite an impression. He beat Fowler, 3 and 2, in the Sunday singles. If that wasn’t enough, Davies had no trouble in the Saturday singles with his 5-and-4 victory over Dustin Johnson.

Davies’ previous win was the Hassan Trophy, when he rallied to beat Louis Oosthuizen. That was in 2010, when he climbed as high as No. 44 in the world.

“Sometimes it’s been really horrible in the last couple of years, I’m not going to pretend,” Davies said. “It’s been quite dark sometimes. But I always felt that if I could get in the mix, I could win again.

Sometimes it was so bad I didn’t know where the next good round was going to come from. That’s all I’ve been looking for, one good score. I know that seems crazy, but it was as simple as that.”

DIVOTS: One year after he was No. 1 in the world, Adam Scott is no longer in the top 10. Scott dropped to No. 11 this week. The previous time he was out of the top 10 was the week before his runner-up finish in the 2012 British Open at Royal Lytham & St. Annes. ... After missing the cut in his American debut this year, Rory McIlroy has finished out of the top 10 only one time in five starts. That was at Bay Hill, where he tied for 11th. ... The USGA accepted a record 1,873 entries for the U.S. Women’s Open at Lancaster Country Club in Pennsylvania. That breaks the record of 1,702 entries for last year.

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — The U.S. Open is a month before the British Open.

Qualifying through the world ranking is in a different order.

The British Open takes the top 50 in the world ranking that is published after next week, and with two tournaments left, a few players have some work to do.

That starts with Luke Donald, who has qualified for every Open Championship since 2002 (he missed in 2008 with an injury).

Donald is No. 60 in the world ranking and plays next week in the BMW PGA Championship.

Ben Martin, who missed the playoff at the TPC Sawgrass by one shot, moved up to No. 51 this week.

He is playing in the Wells Fargo Championship.

Players still have other avenues for which to qualify for St. Andrews, either by top finishes at select tournaments or by being ranked high enough in the European Tour or PGA Tour money list. The world ranking figures to be the best bet.

As for the U.S. Open, the cutoff to reach the top 60 and earn an exemption is May 25, which is after the two Texas events on the PGA Tour, and after the Irish Open on the European Tour schedule. Kevin Kisner has lost in playoffs twice in the past month, though that at least moved him to No. 66 and within range.

The U.S. Open also has another cutoff for the top 60 on the Monday of the U.S. Open (June 15). Two players got into the U.S. Open after the final ranking cutoff a week ago, including Kevin Na, who tied for 12th.

THOMAS TURNAROUND: Justin Thomas is averaging right at 300 yards a drive in his rookie year on the PGA Tour.

But he wasn’t always this long a hitter. Far from it.

“He would call from an AJGA tournament and I’d say, ’What’s the number?’ And he’d say it was six,” said his father, Mike Thomas, a former PGA of America director and the longtime pro at Harmony Landing outside Louisville, Kentucky.

“That was the number of holes he couldn’t reach.”

Most of them were par 4s, though Justin Thomas said he was all but certain to hit driver on at least one of the par 3s.

“I hit it so short,” he said.

His father recalls one tournament where Thomas was paired with kids who were being recruited. The coaches watched a young teenager unable to get to three or four holes and still shooting 69. “Typical of him being so competitive, he said it should have been 67,” his father said.

Somewhere around his junior year in high school, Justin Thomas began to move it through a combination of getting stronger and technique. Distance no longer is an issue, and Thomas continues to amaze with his power despite being only about 5-foot-10 and barely 160 pounds.

And led to another story about his size.

Thomas recalls his freshman year at Alabama when a friend called Breathe, Unwind & Enjoy concerned over what he had read on the school’s website. It listed Thomas at 6-foot, 180 pounds. His buddy asked what happened to him. Thomas went to the coach.

“He said he wasn’t going to have recruits looking at some guy on the team who was 5-10, 130,” Thomas said.

Houston Rockets avoid elimination with win over Clippers with tripledouble by Harden HOUSTON — James Harden had 26 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, Dwight Howard added 20 points and 15 rebounds, and the Houston Rockets bounced back from two lopsided losses to avoid elimination with a 124-103 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday night in the Western Conference semifinals.

The Rockets hadn’t lost three straight all season, and with their season on the line they ended their skid to send it back to Los Angeles for Game 6 on Thursday night. Houston used a 36-point second quarter to take a commanding lead and withstood a third-quarter surge by Los Angeles to lead by 14 entering the fourth.

Blake Griffin had 30 points and 16 rebounds, and Chris Paul added 22 points and 10 assists for the Clippers.

Redblacks take offensive lineman Mateas first overall in CFL draft TORONTO — The Ottawa Redblacks selected offensive lineman Alex Mateas with the first pick of the CFL draft Tuesday night.

Mateas originally accepted a scholarship to Penn State before transferring to Connecticut.

With an all-volunteer crew, a new church is going up fast in Red Deer. Located in the Timberlands subdivision along 30th Avenue, construction of the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses began on Saturday and by May 24 organizers say the construction of the 6,000-square-foot facility will be complete. Ground work on the property began in the fall of 2014 and now 75 to 110 volunteers will work on the site over the next two weeks to get the job done. The church hopes to be holding services in the new building in July. This building will be the third Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Red Deer.

Arens gets more time in jail ADMITS TO SERIOUS DRUG PROBLEM WHILE HE WAS AWAITING TRIAL OVER FATAL CRASH

BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF Add nine months to the sentence of a man convicted in the 2010 fatal Canada Day crash near Bower Ponds in Red Deer.

Rodney Ross Arens, 36, of Sylvan Lake was sentenced to nine months in custody on Tuesday in Red Deer provincial court by Judge John Holmes.

He was convicted on April 14 of resisting arrest, obstruction, being in control of a vehicle while impaired, breaching conditions of a release and possession of crack cocaine.

At the time, he was out on bail

ahead of his June 2014 trial for the 2010 fatal crash that killed Jeffery Chanminaraj, 13. Arens was convicted of impaired driving causing death, impaired driving causing bodily harm, dangerous driving causing death and dangerous driving causing bodily harm.

He was sentenced to five years and nine months for his role in the fatality.

His appeal on these matters will be heard by the Calgary Court of Appeal on Sept. 9.

On Dec. 21, 2013, Arens was found

by Sylvan Lake RCMP in a gas station parking lot asleep in a truck.

When police woke him up, he struggled and attempted to swallow a bag of crack cocaine he had on him.

Woman’s stabbing claim concocted to free White, girlfriend: perjury trial WITNESS TAPED CONVERSATIONS

BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF Taking responsibility for a murder that her boyfriend committed was part of a scheme the couple and a roommate cooked up to let the couple walk free.

Instead, one man is in jail after pleading guilty to manslaughter and the ex-girlfriend faces a perjury charge.

Janessa Desiree Eliuk, 26, of Red Deer is on trial in Red Deer Court of Queen’s Bench in front of Justice Sheila Martin.

She faces a charge of perjury. It is alleged she lied under oath when she testified in Paul Lionel White’s murder trial in 2008.

The Crown closed their case against Eliuk on Tuesday, calling only one witness, Deanna Cameron. Cameron has known Eliuk since the accused was six years old. On the stand on Tuesday, Cameron said she was like Eliuk’s big sister.

The scheme involved Eliuk testifying that she killed Grant Shoemaker, during White’s trial for the murder of Shoemaker, who was stabbed to death in 2005.

They reasoned that the claim would cast doubt on White’s role, leading to a not guilty verdict.

Eliuk told Cameron that White had sketched out, in graphic detail, how he had committed the murder.

He gave the details to her so she could take responsibility for the crime on the stand.

Ultimately, White pleaded guilty to manslaughter in 2012.

Eliuk was led to believe she would also get to walk away from the crime because of provisions in the Canada Evidence Act that protect witnesses from being prosecuted for their testimony.

Cameron testified that the scheme was cooked up by White and his roommate Kenny Deck to make sure everyone was acquitted.

Eliuk and Cameron’s relationship changed the night Shoemaker was killed. The two drifted apart as Eliuk stood by her boyfriend White, who was initially charged with second-degree murder.

Cameron and her son had gone to Shoemaker’s residence the morning after his murder. They found the victim’s body. Later that evening, Cameron spoke with Eliuk and White. Cameron said White confided in her that he committed the murder.

At that point, Cameron began to drift away from Eliuk. However, the two still had many conversations between White’s first trial and his eventual conviction.

The outcome of White’s first trial was overturned and a new trial ordered. His second trial ended in a mistrial. Before his third trial was to start, he pleaded guilty to manslaughter.

Concerned that White would walk free ahead of the second trial, Cameron wrote down one conversation she had with Eliuk.

Later, she took to recording them.

Please see PERJURY on Page C2

Police found 25 grams of crack in the vehicle when they arrested Arens.

Arens admitted to having a severe drug addiction at the time of his arrest. In the nine months he was out on bail in advance of the fatal crash trial, he admitted to smoking three to four grams of crack cocaine, at a minimum, daily.

He was acquitted of a trafficking charge, but found guilty of the lesser included offence of possession of a controlled substance. Holmes said that while he was found with a digital scale and an imitation firearm, it is difficult to prove trafficking without a cellphone.

Holmes said it is quite clear that at

the time of the incident Arens had a significant addiction problem and it likely contributed to the circumstances that led to his arrest.

Currently in Bowden Institution, Arens said his time in jail likely saved his life. He had a major drug problem and thought he would die if he kept using.

Upon his release, he faces a 10-year driving prohibition. Holmes added another 27 months to that prohibition with the new charges.

Holmes also ordered Arens to provide a sample of his DNA and issued a five-year weapons prohibition. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com

Milk River dogs invited to walk-athon

BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF It may just be the largest reunion of the four-legged kind.

The Red Deer and District SPCA is inviting the adopted Milk River dogs to take a walk in the annual Bark at the Bend walk-athon at Three Mile Bend on June 20.

Since the rescued dogs arrived in Central Alberta in December and January, 66 of the 76 have moved from the SPCA, Alberta Animal Services and Klassic Kennels into new homes.

SPCA has eight dogs still in its care.

Alberta Animal Services and Klassic Kennels each have one dog looking for that perfect home.

“All of those people took in those dogs and they have a common bond,” said Julie Brewster, SPCA fund developer co-ordinator.

“They took in these dogs that didn’t have any social behaviour with humans at all. They established those behaviours. I am sure they will have a lot to chat about.”

The dogs were moved to the three agencies as part of the efforts to rehabilitate 201 neglected dogs seized from a rural property near Milk River in December and January.

Erica Coomber, Alberta Animal Services administrator, said it was heartbreaking to see the dogs in such awful shape when they arrived. She said Central Alberta agencies really stepped up and the whole experience has been rewarding for everyone involved.

“About $10,000 was put into veterinarian care because the dogs were so emaciated,” she said. “They had injuries and they had parasites. The list goes on. It was a lot of hard work but

the result was heart warming to see these dogs before and after, and getting feedback from the owners with pictures in their new homes.”

The intake of such large numbers at once put financial strain on all three groups.

Coomber said Alberta Animal Services, which looks after animal control in 17 municipalities, had its usual workload on top of the 22 dogs.

But the staff and community members quickly came forward to lend a hand.

“We all worked together, I’m proud of the community,” said Coomber. “I am proud that all these dogs have been saved and they didn’t have to get euthanized. They are in loving homes now and that’s important to us.”

When the new arrivals came to the SPCA, the facility was already bursting at the seams. Some dogs were housed in make-shift rooms and others doubled up in the kennels.

“We had dogs everywhere,” said Brewster. “Never mind that we had another 40 mouths to feed, none of them had been spaded or neutered. There was a financial strain of health care.”

But all three groups said the amazing outpouring of support from the community helped ease the pressures.

Local veterinarians donated time and reduced service fees.

The SPCA had a Facebook campaign that raised $13,000 to sponsor the dogs for in-house care, including spading and neutering.

“People have really reached out,” said Brewster. “They have followed the story and they really wanted to make sure the dogs had a happy and healthy home.”

RECREATING HISTORY

LOCAL

BRIEFS Olds mobile home badly damaged in fire OLDS — A firefighter suffered minor injuries battling a $200,000 manufactured home fire on Monday.

Olds and Didsbury volunteer firefighters were dispatched to the fire about 1:50 p.m. near 58th Avenue and 46th Street.

Thick smoke and flames greeted arriving firefighters, who brought the blaze quickly under control.

The modular home was badly damaged but firefighters managed to prevent the fire from spreading to nearby units. Damage to home and contents was estimated at $200,000.

Further information on the nature of the firefighter’s injuries was not available on Tuesday.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

Sylvan planning differences ironed out by town, county Town of Sylvan Lake and Lacombe County appear close to ironing out their differences over planning.

Concerned over lake protection issues, the county appealed a Municipal Development Plan approved by Sylvan Lake council last December.

The two municipalities met for two days of mediated talks in late April and hashed out changes to the plan.

Sylvan council approved the proposed changes on Monday and directed staff to go ahead with a joint agreement with the county.

“I think (mediation) went very positively and now we’re moving on to the next step in the process,” said Sylvan Mayor Sean McIntyre on Tuesday.

The county had argued the plan does not go far enough in protecting the lake, by requiring 30-metre setbacks from riparian areas and preserving 50 per cent of the land in new developments as open spaces and municipal reserves.

The county also wants to see it put in writing that new developments must connect to a regional wastewater line when it becomes available.

“From our perspective, these issues have already been addressed in other planning documents that we have,” said McIntyre, who said protecting lake health is a top priority.

The MDP’s wording will be changed to include more specific references to lake protection measures in place elsewhere.

Once the MDP changes have been made, it will go back to the public for review before being approved by the two councils.

Canada 150 Fund bids encouraged for events Canada 150 Fund has funding available to celebrate the nation’s 150th anniversary of Confederation in 2017.

Funding for community-driven projects is being considered through an ongoing competitive process that has no deadline.

Funding is available for a wide range of groups, including Canadian not-for-profit organizations, Canadian corporations, schools and municipal governments.

Jaya Komadowski and Ruben Wannop shoot make-believe arrows at Will Nkurunziza, who was pretending to be a bison on Monday morning. The three Grade 4 students from Christina McInenly’s class at St. Teresa of Avila School in Red Deer were taking part in a re-enactment of a bison hunt undertaken by the native peoples of Alberta hundreds of years ago. Fort Normandeau living history interpreter Josh Cormier guided all Grade 4 students at the school through the exercise.

Projects could include, but are not limited to, celebratory events, exhibits, plaques or monuments, musical performances, interpretive tours and sport events.

“I encourage all organizations in Central Alberta to consider making an application for the Canada 150 Fund. Canada 150 will be an important celebration across our country,” said Red Deer MP Earl Dreeshen in a press release.

A limited number of high-impact, large-scale projects that are national in scope will also be supported through the Canada 150 Fund as signature initiatives.

For signature initiatives, an expression of interest must be submitted by May 29, 2015. Organizers should speak to a project officer prior to applying.

Zebra mussels search planned for May 30 at Gull Boats using Aspen Beach boat launch will be inspected for zebra mussels on May 30 as part of a public awareness drive.

Lacombe County and staff from Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development will be at the launch to inspect for zebra mussels, quagga mussels and Eurasian watermilfoil.

The mussels and watermilfoil (an invasive aquatic plant) are not present in local lakes and officials want to keep it that way.

Mussels clog water intakes and damage aquatic ecosystems.

Watermilfoil chokes out other plants, reduces lake oxygen levels and can develop into thick mats of vegetation ruining recreational opportunimorning with defence counsel Tyson Dalhem of Calgary opening his case. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com

Netflix comedy wallows in cliché

BY HANK STUEVER ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES Netflix’s disappointingly rote Grace and Frankie stars Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin as women whose law-partner husbands, Robert and Sol (Martin Sheen and Sam Waterston), have come out as gay lovers and have plans to marry.

Robert and Sol each initiate divorce proceedings from Grace and Frankie, leaving the two septuagenarians, who were never great friends to begin with (Fonda’s Grace is a rigid former CEO of a cosmetics line bearing her image; Tomlin’s Frankie is a hippie-dippy painter who teaches art to ex-cons), to reluctantly rely on each other for support. Because this is a television comedy, “support” is defined here mainly by the cutting remarks and barbed insults that form most of Grace and Frankie’s conversations and yet somehow (inexplicably) translate into shared sympathies.

Grace and Frankie is mainly a reminder that for all the revolutionary talk, Netflix is as susceptible as anyone else to serving up conventional, lukewarm fare. Things start off slowly and pick up slightly from episode to episode; six episodes in (out of the 13 that begin streaming Friday), the show is far from anyone’s idea of a flop.

There are too many talented people in it — especially Tomlin — and enough stray LOLs to prevent a disaster.

But the show dawdles in a long and empty corridor that separates edgier, topical character studies such as Amazon’s brilliant Transparent from a traditional comedy series such as Friends (for one example), the perpetually syndicated hit helmed by Grace and Frankie co-creator Marta Kaufman.

With some sharper thinking, Grace and Frankie might be a worthy rejoinder to Transparent, particularly in how Robert and Sol come out and how both Grace and Frankie insist they never

BRIEF Two sexual assault charges withdrawn in Ghomeshi case TORONTO — Two sexual assault charges have been dropped against disgraced former broadcaster Jian Ghomeshi, who was ordered Tuesday to face the remaining five charges of sexual assault and one count of choking in two separate trials.

The former host of CBC Radio’s cultural affairs show Q was originally charged with seven counts of sexual assault and one count of overcoming resistance by choking.

Crown prosecutor Mike Callaghan said Tuesday that two sexual assault charges were being withdrawn because there was no reasonable prospect of conviction.

“We wish to be abundantly clear this determination is not a reflection of the truthfulness or credibility of any witnesses but rather a determination

FROM LEFT TO RIGHT: Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin star in Netflix’s cliche-filled new comedy, ‘Grace and Frankie.’ saw this news coming from the men whom they had married and raised children with for 40 years.

Latent declarations of homosexuality are frequent enough that Grace and Frankie should have been able to imagine a story that was deeper and more realistic — and, of course, more wry.

In the first few episodes, both Sheen and Waterston seem desperate to find material in the script that might help them convey Robert and Sol’s love (and anguish) past the point of a rudimentary outline, but that material isn’t provided, certainly not in the way it was provided to Jeffrey Tambor, who in Transparent plays a father in his

late 60s who reveals to his adult children and ex-wife that he’s becoming a woman.

Where Transparent was a comedy (of sorts) preoccupied with verisimilitude and heartache, Grace and Frankie is distractingly afflicted with the laziness of cineplex-style romantic comedies, minus most of the romance. Devastated by their husbands’ deceit, Grace and Frankie seek refuge in a beach house that the couples purchased jointly, years ago, in friendlier times. he beach house is, of course, fantastic and huge, a prime example of the property porn that became a risible feature of Nancy Meyers’ older-

that specific allegations would not meet the legal burden of proof,” Callaghan told Justice Rebecca Rutherford.

Outside court, Callaghan said the two charges involve two separate female complainants who are not involved in the remaining charges.

He said he had spoken with the two women, whose identities are shielded by a publication ban.

The CBC fired Ghomeshi, 47, in October after executives saw what they described as graphic evidence that he had physically injured a woman.

The one-time radio star has admitted to engaging in rough sex but said it was consensual. His lawyer, Marie Henein, has said he will plead not guilty to all charges.

The alleged assaults for which he was originally charged occurred between 2002 and 2008.

Callaghan also asked the court to treat one of the sexual assault charges as a separate matter, to be tried June 6 to 10, 2016.

The remaining charges will be tried Feb. 1 to 19, 2016, with pretrial motions to be heard Oct. 1 and 2.

Henein agreed to the dates, telling Rutherford the defence was “obviously anxious to have this heard in a courtroom before a judge.”

Ghomeshi’s $100,000 bail conditions require him to remain in Ontario and live with his mother.

ABC adds fourth Shonda Rhimes drama, Muppets to its 2015-16 schedule NEW YORK — ABC is adding a fourth series next season from producer Shonda Rhimes, another drama topped by a tough female character.

Rhimes’ fraud investigation drama The Catch is one of 10 new series for ABC’s 2015-16 schedule, the network announced Tuesday.

Her other series for ABC are Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder and

gal rom-com genre in the 2000s (It’s Complicated, Something’s Gotta Give), where the designer kitchens, furniture and linens make it nearly impossible to tune in to the so-called problems a character might be having. (So your husband is gay! You just wrapped a $400 throw around your shoulders!)

Which is not to say that this story couldn’t or shouldn’t be about wealthy people. Rather, it’s that Grace and Frankie has a far too casual approach to the details on a mistaken assumption that its story (and stars) will carry the day.

Tomlin is therefore forced to draw from the same kind of pot-smoking New Age woo-woo she’s played more than once, while Fonda is again cast as a Teflon toughie bent on preserving her two-olive-martini WASP exterior. I’m fairly sure we covered most of this material way back when Dharma & Greg’s mothers first met. And not to get all Freaky Friday on this, but I wonder if Kaufman and co-creator Howard J. Morris at all considered the possibility of Tomlin and Fonda switching roles.

If not, why not?

Grace and Frankie’s limited sense of imagination is as plain as the chair upholstered with an image of Ryan Gosling’s face that Robert and Sol special-order for their new household (because they’re gay, get it?) or the peyote tea that Frankie guzzles on the beach in an attempt at some mind-blowing catharsis (because she’s a hippie, get it?).

Some of these tropes are leavened by naughty writing (“I must have half the beach in my vagina,” Frankie deadpans as she staggers back to the house after her drug trip), but there are long spells of ho-hum involved, especially when the story keeps shifting to Frankie and Grace’s adult children, whose own minor quirks and problems (ranging from addiction recovery to stay-at-home-mommy ennui) fail to spark much interest.

Grey’s Anatomy, which is returning for its 12th season without the dearly departed Dr. McDreamy.

The network also is bringing the Muppets to prime time with a series described as a documentary-style look at the famed puppets’ personal lives, for kids and adults.

ABC is extending the emphasis on diversity that brought black-ish and Fresh Off the Boat to its schedule last season.

Both comedies were renewed for next season and will be joined by the new Dr. Ken, starring Ken Jeong of Community and The Hangover as a brilliant doctor with a poor bedside manner.

Among the cancelled series are Forever, Cristela and Resurrection.

GUMMOW Margarete (Grace) 1920-2015 Grace Gummow passed away peacefully at Michener Hill Extendicare at the wonderful age of 94 years on May 8, 2015. Grace is survived by her sister Rose; her three children, Joyce (Burt), Ron (Marg), and Bob. She has six grandchildren; Randy, Daryl, Kim, Jamie, Sarah, and Will. She was also blessed with six greatgrandchildren. Grace was predeceased by her husband Harvey, her brother Heinz and her sister Gladys. She was born in Germany and came to Canada when she was three years old. She attended the small county school in Willowdale. It was in Willowdale where she met and married the love of her life - Harvey Gummow.

Grace had a happy farm life on the Gummow homestead working alongside her husband. She milked the cows, fed the chickens, drove the tractor, and always had delicious hot meals on the table.

Grace was an active member of the WMS and Willowdale Zion Presbyterian Church. She was in the church choir and was often heard singing her bible hymns at the kitchen sink. Grace was also very proud of being a volunteer at the RDRH flower shop for more than 20 years. Her family and her friends were her greatest joy. The coffee pot was always on and treats were ready for anyone that walked through the door.

Grace will be deeply missed but always in our hearts. A funeral service for Grace will be held on Thursday May 14th, 2015 at 1pm at Eventide Funeral Chapel, 4820-45th Street, Red Deer.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Red Deer Hospice Society, 99 Arnot Avenue, T4R 3S6 or a charity of your choice.

Condolences may be forwarded to the family by e m a i l i n g eventide@arbormemorial.com Arrangements entrusted to EVENTIDE FUNERAL CHAPEL 4820 - 45th Street, Red Deer.

Strong earthquake hits same Japan region as 2011 disaster, no tsunami risk TOKYO — A strong earthquake hit Japan on Wednesday in the same region devastated by a major quake and tsunami in 2011. Authorities said there was no risk of tsunami.

The magnitude 6.8 quake struck at 6:12 a.m. at a depth of 46 kilometres (29 miles) off the coast of Miyagi prefecture, the Japan Meteorological Agency said.

It shook a wide swath of northern Japan and was felt in Tokyo, 415 kilometres (260 miles) to the southwest.

There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage.

Meteorological agency official Yohei Hasegawa told a news conference that the earthquake was an aftershock of the magnitude 9.0 disaster that killed more than 18,000 people in March 2011.

No abnormalities were reported at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant, which was damaged beyond repair in the 2011 disaster, or at other reactors in the region.

Series of attacks in Iraqi capital target Shiite pilgrims, killing at least 19 BAGHDAD — Attacks on Shiite pilgrims commemorating the death of revered 8th century Shiite Imam Moussa al-Kazim killed at least 19 people and wounded more than 50 across the Iraqi capital, police officials said.

The largest of the attacks happened in central Baghdad when a suicide bomber attacked pilgrims buying food and drinks on their way back from the al-Kazim’s shrine located in the capital’s Kazimiyah neighbourhood.

Officials said at least 10 people were killed in the attack and another 25

wounded. The Islamic State militant group claimed responsibility for the attack, in a statement distributed on associated Twitter accounts Tuesday, saying it sought to target fighters with the Popular Mobilization Units, a predominantly Shiite force currently battling the Sunni militants in Iraq.

In eastern Baghdad, another two pilgrims were killed and nine wounded when a roadside bomb exploded on Palestine Street. On the northeastern edge of the capital, in the town of Bab al-Sham, at least three mortars targeted Shiite pilgrims, killing four and wounding at least 12.

Opposition: Russia deeply involved in Ukraine war; Malaysia says it will push at least 220 Russian soldiers back Rohingya, Bangladeshi killed migrants unless their MOSCOW — Russia is deeply inboats are sinking

volved in the war in Ukraine and at least 220 Russian soldiers have died in battles there in the past year, Russian opposition activists claimed in a report published Tuesday.

The report, which prominent Kremlin critic Boris Nemtsov was working on at the time of his murder in February, seeks to counter overwhelming Russian state media accounts casting the events as a local uprising against the Ukrainian government.

The 64-page report is entitled “Putin.War,” after Russian President Vladimir Putin. Drawing on media accounts, testimonies from relatives and other representatives of dead soldiers and confidential sources, it maintains that hundreds of Russian troops have died fighting in a war that has cost Russia hundreds of millions of dollars.

Opposition activist Ilya Yashin, who presented the report in Moscow, said that by conservative estimates at least 220 Russian soldiers had died in two battles in eastern Ukraine within the past year.

Yashin said the real number of losses may have been much greater but that he would give figures only for deaths that could be confirmed.

The Russian Defence Ministry has denied that any of its soldiers have fought in Ukraine, saying that the Russians who have joined the armed sepa-

LANGKAWI, Malaysia — Abandoned at sea, thousands of Bangladeshis and members of Myanmar’s longpersecuted Rohingya Musilm minority appear to have no place to go after two Southeast Asian nations refused to offer refuge to boatloads of hungry men, women and children.

Smugglers have fled wooden trawlers in recent days amid fear of a massive regional crackdown on human trafficking syndicates, leaving migrants to fend for themselves.

The United Nations pleaded for countries in the region to keep their borders open and help rescue those stranded.

“We won’t let any foreign boats come in,” Tan Kok Kwee, first admiral of Malaysia’s maritime enforcement agency, said Tuesday.

Unless they’re unseaworthy and sinking, he said, the navy will provide “provisions and send them away.”

Hours earlier, Indonesia pushed back a boat packed with hundreds of Rohingya and Bangladeshis, saying they were given food, water and directions to Malaysia — their original destination.

Southeast Asia is in the grips of a spiraling humanitarian crisis, with about 1,600 migrants landing on the shores of the two Muslim-majority

Mexico City metro chief says errors by driver, system controller, led to two-train crash MEXICO CITY — An investigation found that “double human error” was behind last week’s two-train metro crash that injured 12 people, Mexico City officials said Tuesday.

The probe determined that the driver of the No. 5 train failed to switch off the automatic pilot and thus was unable to brake in time to avoid crashing into the other train at the Oceania station, metro system director-general Joel Ortega reported.

Also, a system controller neglected to issue an order preventing the No. 5 from leaving the nearby Air Terminal station before the second train was clear of Oceania.

Officials said the No. 5 train was in good working order, and regulators acted properly by issuing a weather alert. However the No. 5 train operator failed to heed the alert correctly.

Prosecutors will decide whether to pursue any sanctions against the driver and the controller.

The May 4 crash at Oceania, an above-ground station on Line 5 in eastern Mexico City, took place during a heavy hail storm and at the height of the evening rush hour.

Reporter pushes back at harassment TORONTO ENGINEER FIRED AFTER SHOUTING PROFANITIES AT FEMALE TV REPORTER

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — A social media firestorm touched off by a female TV reporter who fought back against sexually explicit taunts hurled by several soccer fans has cost one Toronto engineer his job.

Ontario’s largest electricity provider, Hydro One, issued a statement late Tuesday saying it has terminated one of its employees in connection with the incident Sunday at a Toronto FC game, which was captured on video.

CityNews reporter Shauna Hunt is shown in the video questioning two men who emulated a trend seen in other cities by shouting obscenities into her microphone.

A Hydro One spokesman said Shawn Simoes, an assistant network management engineer with the company, was fired for violating the company’s code of conduct.

Hunt said her confrontation, which triggered a flood of social media support, came about after almost a year of nearly constant harassment.

“I hit my limit and I had to push back,” Hunt said in a telephone interview. “I wasn’t going to stand for it anymore. It was time to say something.”

Her confrontation with two men, captured by CityNews cameras and aired later that day, shows the men dismissing Hunt as she asks what could prompt them to taunt women in such a way.

When asked how their mothers would appreciate such conduct, one man is heard saying that she would have found it funny eventually.

Several social media posts also named the second individual, saying he worked for Cognex Corporation. A company spokeswoman said the views expressed in the video were “reprehensible” and inconsistent with Cognex’s values.

“We cannot comment on employee matters publicly, but we take this issue seriously and will be addressing it,” Sarah Laskowski said in a statement.

The video has since gone viral and touched off a flood of support, but Hunt said she hopes it shines a light on an issue Canadian female reporters have been grappling with since at least last summer.

“It happens almost every day, sometimes numerous times a day,” Hunt said.

“It’s not just me, it’s reporters all over the city almost on a daily basis.”

Many of Hunt’s colleagues later shared their own experiences of being taunted on air, with one reporter telling CityNews she had once heard the same sexually explicit remark shouted by a nine-year-old boy.

The child’s actions, according to one gender analyst, show that overt sexism can take a heavy toll on society as a whole.

Shauna Hunt interviews a two Toronto FC soccer fans in Toronto on Sunday, in this video frame grab. A Toronto reporter is setting social media abuzz by fighting back against a controversial trend that sees men hurling obscenities at female journalists on the job. Shauna Hunt of CityNews was the latest woman to be heckled by a group of men shouting sexually explicit comments into her microphone as she tried to cover a local soccer game.

Steph Guthrie said such comments make women feel objectified and powerless to shift the focus from their bodies back to their professional accomplishments.

She also said allowing verbal taunts to go unpunished can set the stage for younger generations to keep the cycle alive.

“When these videos are circulating and young men are seeing this as an example of how to ’perform’ their masculinity, they’re getting I would say a violent understanding of what masculinity is, and they’re seeing it as a show of dominance over women in particular,” she said.

Another observer said the incident once again highlighted the power of social media.

“Objectionable behaviour like this has long been an issue...,” said social media expert Carmi Levy.

“But social media has accelerated and amplified the process, exposing these cases to a far larger audience, and making it that much easier for bosses and significant others to connect the dots and bring those

responsible to some form of online justice.”

Backlash against Hunt’s hecklers was swift and wide-ranging even before word of Simoes’ termination.

Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, the parent company of the Toronto FC soccer team, said the perpetrators would be banned from future games if they are identified.

MLSE also pledged to offer tighter security measures for female reporters covering future events, a move applauded by Toronto FC’s general manger.

Tim Bezbatchenko said harsh penalties are necessary to send a message that “degrading” behaviour is not acceptable, adding he hopes to shift the dialog towards solutions rather than problems.

“We have a platform to address things that are still happening in society, and that’s really what’s important,” he said. “I think we need to work together.

The whole city of Toronto and all of our sports fans, to eradicate this type of behaviour on our properties.”

Toddler’s death in B.C. foster care should have been reviewed; mom

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER — A mother whose toddler was found dead in a British Columbia foster home two years ago says she hopes a new ministry review can bring her some peace — but it should have been done sooner.

Sara-Jane Wiens also said a revised coroner’s report into her daughter’s death appears to have been timed to defend the Ministry of Children and Family Development against accusations of wrongdoing.

“I think they’re doing a very poor job trying to cover their butts,” said Wiens. “It’s frustrating. It’s been this long, they should have some kind of answer. They just need to own up to what they did.”

Twenty-one-month-old Isabella Wiens was found lying face down underneath a blanket in her crib in March 2013. A coroner could not determine her cause of death, but there were sev-

eral bruises on her body and healing fractures on her arm.

Wiens filed a lawsuit two months ago against the province and the director of child welfare, alleging they failed to properly supervise her daughter or adequately consider returning her home.

The B.C. Coroners Service released a revised coroner’s report Tuesday that maintains that Isabella’s injuries could have been either accidental or caused by trauma. But it also includes new details, including that a police investigation concluded no criminal act led to her death.

The new report includes a more detailed description of the developmentally delayed child’s medical history, stating that an infant development worker was visiting her monthly in the Burnaby foster home. Isabella could not walk or stand without help, frequently fell down, and her language skills were comparable to a one-yearold, the report says.

The revised report also states that no one — her foster family, social workers, medical professionals or mother — knew her arm was injured before her death.

“The radiologist that examined the X-rays concluded that fractures of this type are not uncommon in children and not necessarily suggestive of abuse,” the report says.

Chief coroner Lisa Lapointe said that she issued the revised report independent of the ministry. No new investigation was undertaken, but details left out of the original report for privacy reasons were included, she said in a statement.

“This case was properly and meticulously investigated from the beginning,” she said. “The purpose of this revised report is solely to answer some of the public questions which have recently arisen.”

Wiens’ lawyer Jack Hittrich said the report clearly minimizes the ministry’s responsibility for Isabella’s death.

He questioned why the radiologist’s statement that the fractures “were not uncommon in children” was not included in the first report and where the evidence was to support it.

He also asked why the infant development worker did not realize Isabella’s arm was fractured, and why the report appears to place blame on her mother for not noticing the injury.

Hittrich pointed out that the first report, published in 2014, says a ministry review is already underway.

However, Minister Stephanie Cadieux wrote last month in a letter to member of the legislature Doug Donaldson that the case did not initially qualify for a review. She wrote the director of child welfare had “recently” decided to launch a review based on new information.

In an emailed statement, Cadieux didn’t explain the discrepancy, but said the minister does not participate in the director’s decision to conduct a review.

Who’s got better benefits? Tories, Liberals exchange pre-election barbs OTTAWA — The federal election is still five months away, but the Liberals and the Conservatives are already exchanging blows over their duelling promises of family tax relief.

Last week, Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau introduced a family-friendly plan — part of the backbone of the party’s forthcoming campaign platform — that seeks to stake a claim squarely on the populist, low-tax territory coveted by the Tories.

So the Conservatives are countering with an offensive designed to blow holes in the math behind the Liberal child-benefit proposal — a plan that abandons Stephen Harper’s universal child care benefit. The Tories have released updated government numbers that appear to indicate a $900-million shortfall in Liberal projections for

next year — a result, the Conservatives say, of the Liberal failure to account for the benefit’s taxable status.

The Liberals insist any revenue lost as a result of ditching the universal child care benefit has been accounted for, and say they used publicly available figures to cost their family plan and to reach their inflation assumptions.

In an email, Trudeau spokeswoman Kate Purchase said the Finance Department numbers “are underestimating” the cost of an existing program that would be replaced by the Liberal plan. It’s an early preview of what are sure to be countless rhetorical skirmishes over economic assumptions, estimates and calculations that will erupt on the pre-campaign trail between now and the fall election, scheduled for Oct. 19.

During question period Tuesday, Trudeau repeated the Liberal accusa-

Powered Powe ered by

tion that the Harper government’s family measures unfairly benefit the most wealthy Canadian families.

“Fairness means helping those who need help the most, so why not cancel those tax breaks and benefits that go to the wealthiest Canadians?” Trudeau asked.

The Liberals would scrap important

programs, Harper retorted, before taking a swipe at Trudeau’s arithmetic.

“Even after he takes all those things away, his numbers still don’t add up.”

Harper also said the Liberals want to get rid of the programs like income splitting for seniors and tax-free savings accounts, neither of which is true, Trudeau said after question period.

Terror in the Himalayas NEPAL SHAKEN AGAIN BY A MAJOR EARTHQUAKE; AT LEAST 37 KILLED

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS KATHMANDU, Nepal — A new earthquake killed dozens of people Tuesday and spread more fear and misery in Nepal, which is still struggling to recover from a devastating quake nearly three weeks ago that left more than 8,000 dead.

A U.S. Marine Corps helicopter carrying six Marines and two Nepalese soldiers was reported missing while delivering disaster aid in northeastern Nepal, U.S. officials said, although there have been no indications the aircraft crashed.

Tuesday’s magnitude-7.3 quake, centred midway between Kathmandu and Mount Everest, struck hardest in the foothills of the Himalayas, triggering some landslides, but it also shook the capital badly, sending thousands of terrified people into the streets.

Nepal’s Parliament was in session when the quake hit, and frightened lawmakers ran for the exits as the building shook and the lights flickered out.

At least 37 people were killed in the quake and more than 1,100 were injured, according to the Home Ministry. But that toll was expected to rise as reports began reaching Kathmandu of people in isolated Himalayan towns and villages being buried under rubble, according to the UN’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.

Tremors radiated across parts of Asia. In neighbouring India, at least 16 people were confirmed dead after rooftops or walls collapsed onto them, according to India’s Home Ministry. Chinese media reported one death in Tibet.

The magnitude-7.8 earthquake that hit April 25 killed more than 8,150 and flattened entire villages, leaving hundreds of thousands homeless in the country’s worst-recorded quake since 1934. The U.S. Geological Survey said Tuesday’s earthquake was the largest aftershock to date of that destructive quake.

Tuesday’s temblor was deeper, however, coming from a depth of 18.5 kilometres (11.5 miles) versus the earlier one at 15 kilometres (9.3 miles). Shallow earthquakes tend to cause more damage.

At least three people were rescued Tuesday in Kathmandu, while another nine pulled to safety in the district of Dolkha, the government said.

Rescue helicopters were sent to mountain districts where landslides and collapsed buildings may have buried people, the government said. Home Min-

Nepalese people take shelter inside a car considering it safer than being indoors after an earthquake struck earlier in the day in Kathmandu, Nepal, Tuesday. A major earthquake has hit Nepal near the Chinese border between the capital of Kathmandu and Mount Everest less than three weeks after the country was devastated by a quake. istry official Laxmi Dhakal said the Sindhupalchowk and Dolkha districts were the worst hit.

Search parties fanned out to look for survivors in the wreckage of collapsed buildings in Sindhupalchowk’s town of Chautara, which had become a hub for humanitarian aid after last month’s quake.

Impoverished Nepal appealed for billions of dollars in aid from foreign nations, as well as medical experts to treat the wounded and helicopters to ferry food and temporary shelters to hundreds of thousands left homeless amid unseasonal rains.

In Washington, Navy Capt. Chris Sims said the missing Huey helicopter was conducting disaster relief operations near Charikot, Nepal.

An Indian helicopter flying nearby at the time heard radio chatter about a possible fuel problem, said U.S. Army Col. Steve Warren. The Huey had dropped off supplies and was en route to a second site when contact was lost, he said, adding that officials are hopeful the aircraft is simply missing because there has been no smoke or other sign of a crash.

Canadian team temporarily Look in cut off from base by quake today’s paper All Canadian Forces members deployed to earthquake-ravaged Nepal were safe and accounted for after another quake hit the country Tuesday, although one team was briefly cut off from its base after a landslide triggered by the temblor blocked its path.

The Foreign Affairs Department said all Canadian government personnel in the country, including nearly 200 members of the Canadian Forces, were safe after Tuesday’s quake, and said it was working to reach out to Canadians in the country by all available means.

Some members of Canada’s Disaster Assistance Response Team, however, were temporarily stranded while visiting remote villages after a landslide blocked their route back to their base, Camp Sumitra, located about 70 kilometres northeast of Kathmandu.

“They were on a section of the highway that had been cut off by a landslide,” DART spokeswoman Lt.-Cmdr. Kelly Williamson told The Canadian Press in an interview from Nepal. “They were fine. We sent some heavy equipment that we have based at Camp Sumitra and they did clear the road.”

The equipment used to dig away the rubble was a MPEV, or a multi-purpose engineering vehicle, which had been brought to Nepal from Canada, Williamson said.

The quake was also felt at DART’s headquarters in Kathmandu, as well as at its other operations in a village 16 kilometres north of the capital.

“Everyone is safe and accounted for,” Williamson said. “We all felt the quake probably to the same degree.”

After the shaking had stopped, members of DART’s medical assistance team were asked by the Nepalese army to assist with casualties at a hospital that had been set up at the international airport in Kathmandu, Williamson said. DART’s urban search and rescue technicians were also put on standby.

The country’s relief and emergency recovery effort are being run by the Nepalese government and army, with Canadian teams available to assist where they best can, said Williamson, noting that DART would spend the coming days reassessing where it would be the most useful.

“We’ll conduct reconnaissance to some of the villages we’ve previously visited to reassess how this latest quake has impacted residents,” she said.

Picasso painting sets world record for art at auction SELLS IN NEW YORK FOR $179 MILLION NEW YORK — A vibrant, multihued painting from Pablo Picasso set a world record for artwork at auction, selling for $179 million on Monday night.

“Women of Algiers (Version O)” was part of a sale at Christie’s auction house that also featured Alberto Giacometti’s life-size sculpture “Pointing Man,” which was poised to set a record as the most expensive sculpture sold at auction. They were among two dozen masterpieces from the 20th century Christie’s offered in a curated sale titled “Looking Forward to the Past.”

The Picasso price included the auction house’s premium.

Experts say the prices are driven by artworks’ investment value and by wealthy new and established collectors seeking out the very best works.

“I don’t really see an end to it, unless interest rates drop sharply, which I don’t see happening in the near future,” Manhattan dealer Richard Feigen said.

Impressionist and modern artworks continue to corner the market because “they are beautiful, accessible and a proven value,” added Sarah Lichtman, professor of design history and curatorial studies at The New School.

“I think we will continue to see the financiers seeking these works out as they would a blue chip company that pays reliable dividends for years to come,” she said.

Doctors urge label change for nosodes, sometimes called ‘homeopathic vaccines’

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — The Canadian Pediatric Society is urging Health Canada to tighten the rules on the labelling of homeopathic nosodes, which are sometimes referred to as “homeopathic vaccines” Nosodes are taken by people who believe they can prevent illnesses,

It was actually Rick Tallas who shot the photo of the great horned owl fledgling.

We are sorry for the error and the inconvenience this may have caused. even though there are no good studies showing that they actually work.

Health Canada currently requires nosodes to be sold with labels stating that the products are not intended to be alternatives to vaccination.

But the pediatric society says the current wording isn’t clear enough, especially given the rise of the antivaccine movement.

In a policy statement, the society says the labels should state that these products have not been proven to prevent infection and that Health Canada advises children who take nosodes should also receive all routine vaccinations.

Nosodes are preparations used in homeopathy to prevent disease.
