In the driver’s seat AGRICULTURE MINISTER HOPEFUL RETALIATION THREAT WON’T BE NEEDED BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
MEAT LABELLING RULES
CALGARY — Federal Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz says it’s time for the United States to come to terms with country-of-origin labelling rules. The World Trade Organization ruled Monday that the U.S. labelling requirement, known as COOL, violates that country’s trade obligations. It said the labels put Canadian and Mexican livestock at a disadvantage and rejected a U.S. appeal following a similar ruling last year. “The rules have been adjudicated, the U.S. was found offside and now it’s up to them to find the fix
that makes us happy,” Ritz said Thursday. “We’re now driving the bus. We’re not under it anymore, so we’ll see at the end of the day.” A committee of the U.S. House of Representatives has already voted to repeal the law, which requires labels that say where animals were born, raised and slaughtered. Canada will probably be able to impose retaliatory tariffs against the United States by late summer or early fall if Washington doesn’t repeal COOL rules. “If they don’t come up with the fix to COOL, like
repealing it, then that’s our Plan B,” said Ritz. The extent of retaliatory tariffs would depend on what the WTO would allow, Ritz said. There are 38 commodities already listed that Canada could put tariffs on and the list could grow even higher. “We would bring our economic model to them as to the hurt that we faced from a livestock perspective — somewhere between $2.5 billion and $3 billion a year — and make the arguments,” Ritz said. “Hopefully we won’t need it. Hopefully the Americans will decide we’re serious and we’ll get this repealed in short order.”

CFIB criticizes plan to hike minimum wage EDMONTON — The Canadian Federation of Independent Business is warning about the possible repercussions if the new NDP government in Alberta goes through with its campaign promise to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2018. Amber Ruddy, a senior policy analyst with the federation, says the combination of a proposed two per cent corporate tax increase and a minimum wage increase could lead businesses to move elsewhere. She says small-business confidence is at a low in Alberta compared to the rest of the country. She says the new government needs to send the right signals “by not raising the cost to do business at a time when business owners are struggling.” Two per cent of Alberta’s workforce makes minimum wage while 95 per cent of businesses are small businesses.
Boy, 11, joined in break-ins, but too young to charge: RCMP WETASKIWIN — Mounties are accusing an 11-year-old boy of participating in several break-ins in central Alberta. Wetaskiwin RCMP have responded to 10 break-ins at homes and businesses in the area over the past three weeks. Thieves took household items as well as ATVs and motorcycles. On the weekend, police responded to three residential alarms and arrested two males following a search. Trenton Okeymow, who is 18, and a 16-year-old male have been charged with breaking and entering and possession of stolen property. The boy is too young to be charged under the law.

LABELS: Wants to return to normalcy Canada will not consider going after the United States for damages on behalf of beef and pork producers if the labelling rules are repealed, he said. “No. It doesn’t serve anybody’s best interest. They’re our first major trading partner, over $700 billion a year back and forth across the border. We want to get back to normalcy as soon as we possibly can.” Canada and Mexico opposed the law because it causes their animals to be segregated from animals born in the U.S. It’s a costly process that has forced some U.S. companies to stop buying exports. Congress made the labels mandatory in 2002 and 2008 farm legislation, mostly at the behest of northern U.S. ranchers.

His next of kin has been notified. Police will not release the name of the deceased man out of respect for his family’s privacy. Police say the collision occurred when the truck, which was northbound on 30th Avenue, attempted to turn left onto 19th Street and collided with the motorcycle, which was driving south on 30th Avenue. The victim was wearing a helmet. The intersection was blocked for almost three hours while RCMP investigated. RCMP will release an update, including the charges and name of the man charged, once those charges have been sworn before the courts. RCMP continue to investigate. This is the second death in the city involving a motorcycle in the last two weeks. On May 9, a 55-yearold Red Deer man died near the Taylor Drive and Kerry Wood Drive intersection after he lost control of his motorcycle and flipped it before striking a lamp post. He died on scene. Police said speed may have been a factor in that collision.

plans to have two fenced beer gardens and vendors at the site. The entire park will also have to be temporarily fenced off with entry gates. Diep, a Red Deer-based promoter who has toured international artists, such as Snoop Dogg, Dwight Yoakam, 50 Cent and LMFAO, across Canada, said he began talking with the Town of Sylvan Lake about having the outdoor festival in 2014. But time got tight and it was pushed back a year. Organizing such a large-scale event is a huge undertaking, he added, noting it requires plans for security, parking, fencing and addressing other concerns. While the Town of Sylvan Lake approved the Summer Sensation Beach Music Festival — described by municipal communications person Joanne Gaudet as “pretty exciting, with some great bands” — this approval hangs on various conditions being fulfilled. Gaudet said some conditions must be signed off on by June 1 — including a plan to have eight additional RCMP officers (besides those working at the Sylvan Lake detachment) available, as well as certified security people, ambulance and first-aid workers. Diep said a big focus is being put on security, to ensure the festival goes off without major “hitches.” “We want it to run as smoothly as possible... That’s very important for us, because we want it to be the start of an annual thing.” Parking provisions must also be arranged. The promoter is looking at using empty lots next to the town’s arena (which sustained a collapsed roof in the winter of 2014). “I’m optimistic that we’ll get things worked out,” said Gaudet.
EDMONTON — Incoming Alberta Premier Rachel Notley has appointed longtime NDP MLA Brian Mason as the new government house leader. Notley says Mason will provide wisdom, leadership and guidance in the assembly. She says Mason will reach out to opposition caucus house leaders in the coming days to talk about the upcoming session. Mason says he’s honoured to receive the appointment and looks forward to working with all members of the legislature.

Regrets, she has a few EDMONTON — Rookie Alberta NDP member Deborah Drever says pretending to be assaulted with a bottle for a garage band cover photo is an inexplicable error of youth, but one she is determined to turn the page on. “What happened three years ago, frankly, was a mistake,” Drever, 26, said Thursday. “I wasn’t aware of the premise of the photo beforehand and I was just asked to do this, and I did it. “As soon as that picture was taken, I regretted it.” The photo is the latest in several questionable shots to surface since Drever won the Calgary Bow seat in the May 5 election. The pictures have sparked petitions demanding that she quit or be removed. One Facebook photo is of Drever at age 19 and in dark glasses as she hams it up beside a marijuana T-shirt. Another shows a disembodied hand, not Drever’s, giving the middle finger to the Canadian flag. Drever, a third-year sociology student at Mount Royal University, said she just wants to get on with her new job. “I am very disappointed in myself that I let (people) down. I really want to prove that I can do a good job.” Incoming premier Rachel Notley has accepted Drever’s apology and has asked her to develop a plan to heighten awareness of violence against women. Drever said she will do that and pointed out that she has been working for a long time with women’s groups in Calgary, pushing for women’s rights and combating violence. “I’m passionate about women’s issues because of my lived experiences.” Drever said her earliest memories of childhood are of abuse involving her mother and her mother’s partner.

They are evil,” Cooper says. “They know what they are doing is wrong, but they’re able to tell themselves that it’s okay.” Bin Laden’s book collection ranged from mainstream authors, like Bob Woodward’s book “Obama’s Wars,” to academics like Yale’s Paul Kennedy and his “Rise and Fall of the Great Powers,” to more marginal conspiracy theorists like Eustace Mullins’, “Secrets of the Federal Reserve.” Cooper’s book found in bin Laden’s library was one of about 30 the political scientist has written. He says it stemmed from a talk he gave in April 2001 in the U.S. After the 9-11 terrorist attacks, a colleague suggested he turn the lecture into a book. What does he hope bin Laden got from it? “A little self-recognition of what a jerk he is.”
WASHINGTON — Your average book-writing academic might be delighted to have a celebrity reader. Barry Cooper’s case is a little different. He’s far less gracious when asked about a famous person who apparently owned his book: “If I had a chance to kill him,” the Canadian political scientist says, “I would’ve.” His famous reader was supposedly Osama bin Laden. According to a newly declassified list from the U.S. government, the terrorist leader had 39 English-language books in his Pakistani compound when he was killed by special forces in 2011. One of those books was written by Cooper. Bin Laden’s library apparently included the University of Calgary professor’s, “New Political Religions, or an Analysis of Modern Terrorism.” Cooper didn’t believe it when a journalist first called him this week to share the news. He teaches political philosophy, not counterterrorism, and responded skeptically: “I thought it was a hoax.” He has no idea whether bin Laden actually read the book. But he’s This week and every week, working for you quite sure he wouldn’t have enjoyed its unsympathetic view of terrorism’s causes. “I’m sure he didn’t like it if he did read it — I can take some comfort in that.” Roads Cooper’s book argues that terrorists intentionSuperintendent, ally distort religion to Public Works justify their acts — and that they’re perfectly well aware that they’re making up excuses.

We get pennies for our oil BY DOREEN BARRIE SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE Is an Alberta royalty review really that outrageous? Some of the commentary on the newly-elected NDP government is cautiously optimistic about Rachel Notley’s relationship with the oil industry. However, many pundits have warned that undertaking a review of royalties in the present economic climate would be a major error. No doubt the industry would prefer business-asusual with a more sympathetic government in power. Yet the Peter Lougheed Conservatives and Social Credit led by William Aberhart and Ernest Manning exercised a great deal of control over their most important resource. Social Credit’s policy on natural gas and Lougheed’s policies on royalties and government investment are examples that demonstrate that the industry has weathered much worse than anything a contemporary NDP government will likely throw at them. Massive intervention in the natural gas industry was undertaken by the Social Credit government, starting in the 1930s. The orgy of waste in “Hell’s Half Acre” (Turner Valley) produced a very protective attitude towards natural gas when the Alberta government was granted ownership of its resources. Albertans had watched helplessly as vast quantities of gas (sometimes 600 million cubic feet a day) were flared by small, independent companies. There was no market for it because Royalite (later an Imperial Oil subsidiary) had an exclusive contract to supply Calgary’s gas utility. This led Aberhart’s government, in 1938, to establish the Oil and Gas Conservation Board (later the Energy Resources Conservation Board) to regulate the industry. The next step, taken by Manning, was to establish a crown corporation, Alberta Gas Trunk Lines, as a single gas gathering system in the province. Through its monopoly over gas gathering within provincial boundaries and its distribution at the provincial border to companies like Trans-Canada, the Alberta government was able to guard against possible federal intrusion into the industry. However, private pipeline companies were shut out. Natural gas was seen as a potential catalyst to industrial development, doing for Alberta what hydroelectric power had done for Quebec and Ontario. The “Alberta First” policy was adopted and enforced by the conservation board to ensure sufficient supply. The board authorized the removal of gas from Alberta only if there were proven reserves for the use of Albertans for 30 years.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Service station companies are ripping off the public Well they’re at it again. Today the two local stations jacked up the price on gasoline 12 cents a litre to $104.9 from $92.9. Others will no doubt follow suit because that’s what happens in the service station industry. It’s called price fixing. Oh, they say they don’t and the competition board says they don’t do it but let’s get real. I was in the business once. There is no justifiable reason to raise fuel prices. Oil prices are still down. $57 a barrel today. The Canadian dollar is down, too, but so what? They don’t buy oil here to refine here. They’re Canadian-based companies and they buy it in Alberta and so they probably use Canadian dollars. All it amounts to is gouging the consumers and now it appears the Notley government is going to let them get away with it. We need to regulate gasoline prices in Alberta like they do in P.E.I. It is an essential service to the public and it should be deemed as such. If premier-elect Rachel Notley really wants do something for the Alberta consumers she should put a cap on the price of gasoline prices in relation to the cost of oil. The service station companies have told me it’s what the market will bear. So in their opinion ripping off the public is OK if that’s what the market will bear. Maybe with a different government they won’t get away with it any longer. Dale Stuart Red Deer

CENTRAL ALBERTA’S DAILY NEWSPAPER Published at 2950 Bremner Avenue, Red Deer, Alberta, T4R 1M9 by The Red Deer Advocate Ltd. Canadian Publications Agreement #336602 Member of the Audit Bureau of Circulation Mary Kemmis Publisher John Stewart Managing editor Richard Smalley Advertising director
Not long after the Progressive Conservative victory in 1971, OPEC began to flex its muscles and quadrupled the price of oil. It was Lougheed’s finest hour as he adopted a strong provincial rights stance, taking on the oil industry and the federal government. Lougheed was determined to see Albertans benefit from this lucrative but depleting resource. To that end, he eliminated the ceiling on oil royalties established by the Social Credit government and by 1975 the bulk of revenue from a barrel of oil accrued to the province. In addition, the government set up the Alberta Energy Co., in which it held a 50 per cent share and through which it invested in such ventures as Syncrude. It is worth noting that Social Credit’s assertion of the provincial interest in natural gas was strongly supported by Albertans, as were the Conservative actions in the 1970s. Nevertheless, these moves were not exactly in the best interests of the oil and gas industry. While it is unlikely that the Notley government will even contemplate such drastic measures, to regard a royalty review with trepidation when the industry recovered from much worse in the past is an
overreaction. The oil industry will find it hard to sustain the argument that it is fair that the government derives a mere 55 cents on a $55 barrel of oilsands oil and a maximum of nine per cent when it reaches anything higher than $120. The prospect of digging into the royalty issue at a time when the industry is suffering may seem like kicking someone who is already down. However, any change deemed necessary need not take effect until there is an improvement in oil prices. By setting rates so low, this province has foregone billions of dollars, which could have allowed us to avoid the current government deficit. If the NDP government consults stakeholders, including the general public, during a royalty review, it will likely find that they would like to see the oil industry pay its fair share. The industry should acknowledge that the price of operating in a safe and stable democracy is worth more than pennies a barrel in royalties.

For many years I have watched them love and care for mentally and physically disabled people. They use their equine talents, horses, and the riding arena to offer an independent program for the children and adults with special needs and other interested riders. They are a program provider for the non-profit association Gaitway to Equine Experiences. The clients are given the opportunity to truly feel free on the back of these gentle giants, guided by an equally gentle trainer. It has been said that “riding my horse gives wings to my feet, and joy in my heart!” Dennis and Karen are committed to ensuring that those with special needs are not hindered from participating for lack of funds. Their programs meet very individual needs, and must be suitable for a variety of developmental and physical capacities. Dennis and Karen have so much to offer the people they work with, and they are in great jeopardy of closing their doors forever. Their plight is urgent and their need is great! The property they have rented for years has been sold and they need to find a new home for themselves and ten horses by the end of June. Is anyone in the community able to help? In order to continue these vital programs they provide for our community, they will need: ● a new place to call home for 10 horses by the end of June; ● a riding arena for the equine programs with tack storage, boarding and pasture; ● wheelchair accessibility; ● with living accommodations would be ideal. All ideas, support of all kinds, financial and otherwise, will be needed to make this happen as potential renovations may be required. Please help! This affects all special needs people and the youth at risk in our community! More information is available on their website under Current News at: www.horsesensedk.com, you can make a donation using PayPal at: www. gaitwayequine.ca, or learn about their work at: www. special-ability-horsemanship.info You can also contact Dennis and Karen at: dkhorses2009@live.com or by phone at 403-348-5636.

Genocide recognition vote was clearly not unanimous I found it very concerning that some members of the media reported that House of Commons Motion No. 587 (Genocide Recognition) was carried unanimously (Page A6, April 28, Red Deer Advocate). This inaccurate reporting gave the false impression that all members of Parliament supported this motion on genocide, which included a reaffirmation of the Armenian Genocide motion passed by Parliament in 2004. Many MPs did not support this part of the motion for differing reasons. The vote in the House of Commons was not unanimous as was reported by some media. In fact, unanimous support was denied and the motion was passed by the subsequent voice vote. The motion sought to declare April as Genocide Remembrance, Condemnation and Prevention Month, which probably was unanimously supported. But it also re-affirms support of the House of Commons for the 2004 Armenian Genocide recognition resolution and acknowledges the associated Armenian Genocide Memorial Day, which certainly was not unanimously supported. Accurately reporting the outcome of this vote is important to the Turkish-Canadian and ArmenianCanadian communities alike. It is an extremely divisive issue for many. Reporting its adoption as unanimous is not only inaccurate, but also hurtful to Turks from around the world, who have been led to believe that all Canadian parliamentarians believe that what occurred 100 years ago was genocide and that this issue should be repeatedly reaffirmed in the Canadian parliament. This inaccurate reporting is hurtful to Canadians of Turkish descent and Turks around the world, as well as to Canadian MPs who did not support this motion. It would be fair and important that a correction be reported. Thank you. Leon Benoit, MP Ottawa

RED DEER ADVOCATE Friday, May 22, 2015 A5 Police say a resident contacted them on May 19 after finding a nail in a potato from a bag of Farmer’s Market spuds. The bag was purchased from the Atlantic Superstore in Antigonish in late April or early May. A nail in another Farmer’s Market potato purchased at a No Frills grocery store in Barrington Passage was reported to RCMP on May 20. Prince Edward Island RCMP also say a customer turned in a potato with a metal object in it on May 18. Investigators say it was purchased from the Atlantic Superstore in Montague. No injuries were reported in any of the cases. The agency says as a precaution, consumers should carefully check potatoes for foreign objects.

Federal agriculture minister says CFIA will get to bottom of mad cow case
CALGARY — Federal Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz says investigators are narrowing down how an Alberta cow was infected with BSE. The beef breeding cow was discovered last winter on a farm near Edmonton and was born on a nearby farm. Another cow born at the same location in 2004 tested positive for mad cow disease in 2010. A final report by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency is expected this summer. Ritz says investigators are looking for other animals that also might have been infected and any feed supplies that might be the cause. He said it’s like looking for a needle in a haystack. “It’s searching out the cohort animals, any feed supplies that might have moved to any other farms or anything like that,” Ritz said Thursday at an event in Calgary. “That’s the minute needle in several haystacks that takes months to accomplish. CFIA has done this before and they’ll probably do it again.” The majority of Canada’s trading partners don’t seem too worried about the two cases of bovine spongiform encephalopathy. “We didn’t see a hiccup at all from Japan ... or China and those are phenomenal gains that we’ve seen as they recognize the science and the safety of our food APPLIANCES supply.”

VANCOUVER — BC Ferries says its contest to name a new fleet of vessels won’t be sunk even as people mock the company’s fare costs, service cuts and executive salaries with suggested monikers like “Coastal Cash Grab.” The corporation began its NameAFerry campaign on Tuesday, asking the public to name three new vessels for a chance to win over $500 in ferry travel. “We’re proud to be introducing three new intermediate class ferries that will become part of our shared culture and history,” the company wrote on Facebook. “Celebrate the beauty of coastal B.C. by submitting your best names.” But cheeky social media users quickly grasped the opportunity to ridicule the quasiCrown corporation. A deluge of proposed names has included entries such as “Coastal Community Collapse,” “Queen of Increasing Fares” and “Spirit of Unfettered Capitalism.” Another suggestion: “Queen of the Oblivious Marketing Department.” Others opted to ridicule the company’s prize, with one Facebook user quipping: “$500? So one round trip with a family then...” BC Ferries spokeswoman Deborah Marshall said the corporation received over 1,400 entries within 24 hours of launching the campaign, and most of them were serious submissions.
Investigation started as store customers report potatoes contain metal objects The Canadian Food Inspection Agency says it’s looking into three cases of potatoes containing pieces of metal in Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. The agency said Thursday evening in an email it is following up with a producer of the product, but it provided no details on the company involved. Tammy Jarbeau, a spokeswoman at the federal agency, said its officials are looking into the possibility of food tampering. The RCMP said earlier in the day it is investigating the three cases.

A6 Ottawa funds terrorism fight BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
MONTREAL — Prime Minister Stephen Harper says there is “no legitimate reason of any kind” for Canadians to become involved in jihadist or terrorist movements. Harper was in Montreal on Thursday to announce funds for the RCMP and the Canada Border Services Agency in the fight against terrorism. The RCMP will receive $150.4 million over five years, beginning in 201516, and $46.8 million a year after, with the money going to help the Mounties conduct terrorism-related criminal investigations. The border-services agency will get $5.4 million over five years and $1.1 million annually in subsequent years, with some of the funds earmarked for identifying high-risk travellers. While the Prime Minister’s Office
FRIDAY, MAY 22, 2015
described the money as ”new” and ”additional,” the Finance Department said later the funds had been announced in the recent federal budget but that the specific details outlined on Thursday for the RCMP and the CBSA were new. Harper was speaking at Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport, where 10 youths were arrested last weekend after being suspected of wanting to leave Canada to join jihadist groups. “Obviously we have great sympathy for the families affected but let us be clear: we have a great country here, we have a country that is unparalleled in terms of its freedom, its democracy, its openness and its tolerance,” the prime minister told reporters after making his announcement. “And there is no legitimate reason of any kind in this country for someone to become a violent jihadist or a ter-

rorist or to join any kind of group that is involved or advocates that kind of activity. “It is totally unacceptable to Canada and Canadians and unacceptable to this government.” Violent jihadism is not a future trend but a current reality in Canada and around the world, Harper said, adding that the funds will be important in the fight against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. In recent days, Islamic State militants have been on the advance, seizing the city of Ramadi in Iraq and the central Syrian town of Palmyra. Defence Minister Jason Kenney has described the fall of Ramadi as a setback for the Iraqi military but added it shouldn’t be seen as a sign the coalition is losing the fight against ISIS. Harper was asked in general about such advances and what the implications are for coalition forces.
“The reason the international community has intervened in Iraq is the serious threat that ISIS poses,” he replied. ”As we all remember, very quickly last summer, beginning actually in January but certainly over the summer ISIS began to seize territory across Iraq and, in our judgment, was in danger of seizing virtually the entire country. And that’s why the international community intervened. ”We’ve had some successes but at the same time it is no secret this is an ongoing battle, this organization poses a great threat and continues to pose a great threat, obviously to security in Iraq and Syria. “But as long as it has a substantial territory it is occupying, it will want to use that as a base from which to launch terrorist attacks against this country.”

Opposition parties agree to TV debate nixed by PM OTTAWA — The opposition parties might have agreed to a national English debate broadcast by the major TV networks, but the Conservatives aren’t budging on their decision to skip it. The NDP, Liberals and Green party reached an agreement in principle Thursday with the television consortium that has traditionally organized the election debates, for two national broadcasts with simultaneous translation. The consortium includes CBC’s French and English channels, Global News and CTV. The English-language broadcast will feature Tom Mulcair, Justin Trudeau and Elizabeth May, while the French language broadcast will also feature Bloc Quebecois Leader Mario Beaulieu. The Bloc said it was upset to not be included in the English match-up. If the opposition parties and networks were hoping to nudge the Conservatives into changing their mind, it didn’t work. Spokesman Kory Teneycke pointed out that the party already
firmly rejected the consortium’s proposal two weeks ago, and selected alternative debates. “From our perspective the slots have been filled with respect to the English debates,” Teneycke said in an email. “We have one left in French. Our response has not changed with respect to the Consortium proposal. It was a decision, not a public negotiation.”
But the consortium’s proposal appeared to change substantially between a meeting two weeks ago with the parties and Thursday. The Tories had emphasized the need for the debates to be available on different broadcasting platforms. The consortium responded to that by announcing a partnership with Google, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Vine and YouTube.

OTTAWA — Legal and parliamentary experts say there’s nothing to stop the Harper government from retroactively rewriting a law to absolve RCMP wrongdoing and stuffing the changes in an omnibus budget bill — even as police investigate. “There is no restraint on Parliament’s legislative powers other than legislative jurisdiction under the Constitution Act 1867 and the charter,” former House of Commons law clerk Rob Walsh said in an email Thursday. In simpler terms, “there’s nothing wrong with it,” according to Ned Franks, a professor emeritus at Queen’s University and parliamentary procedure expert “As I’ve often said about this government, it’s unorthodox, but you can get away with it,” Franks told The Canadian Press. Bill C-59, currently on the fast track to be passed by Parliament in the next four weeks, includes amendments backdated to October 2011 that would retroactively remove all elements of the now-defunct long-gun registry from Canada’s access to information law. The unprecedented move was prompted by a finding of wrongdoing against the RCMP by federal information commissioner Suzanne Legault and the Conservative get-out-of-jailfree legislative move is drawing howls of outrage from opposition MPs and academics. “This is banana-republic behaviour,” NDP Leader Tom Mulcair said in an interview. “This is Canada, it’s not Panama. It’s absolutely reprehensible what they’re doing, the technique itself is reprehensible.” Both the NDP and the Liberals have presented motions to have House of Commons committees call the information commissioner and others to explain what’s going on, although Conservative majorities on the ethics and public safety committees may stymie the effort. “I can guarantee you that as the official Opposition, the NDP’s going to use every single tool at its disposal in this case,” Mulcair said. The Ontario Provincial Police have confirmed they are investigating the RCMP’s alleged breach of the Access to Information Act after receiving the file from the Public Prosecution Service of Canada. That investigation won’t deter the government from pushing through its latest, 167-page budget bill.

Cities unprepared for floods: study OTTAWA — Major Canadian cities have done a mediocre job of preparing for floods, a new study concludes. The study, conducted by University of Waterloo researchers and commissioned by The Co-operators insurance company, rated the efforts of 15 cities to reduce the risk of damage from flooding caused by extreme rainfall. Ottawa emerged as the best prepared, with a score of A-minus, followed closely by Winnipeg with a Bplus. Calgary and St. John’s scored a B; Toronto and Montreal a B-minus. Halifax emerged as the least prepared, with a score of D, but a host of
others rated only middling marks. Mississauga, Ont., scored a C-plus, Edmonton, Fredericton and Whitehorse a C and Vancouver, Quebec City, Regina, and Charlottetown a C-minus. “Flood preparedness for Canadian cities is, on average, mediocre,” said Blair Feltmate, Intact chair of the climate adaptation project at the University of Waterloo and author of the study. Each city was assessed on 16 different factors that could reduce the risk of severe flood damage. The cities scored relatively well on some factors, such as requiring the installation of backwater valves for new home construction to prevent water backing up basement drains, updating flood plain maps and restricting construction in flood-prone areas.
Aboriginal jury numbers not grounds for overturning conviction: top court BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — The manslaughter conviction of an Ontario aboriginal man should not be overturned because of a lack of aboriginal jurors, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled Thursday. In a 5-2 decision, the high court found that a northern Ontario community made reasonable efforts to ensure the jury in a manslaughter case had adequate aboriginal representation. The decision overturns a 2011 Ontario Court of Appeal ruling that found the absence of aboriginals on the jury violated Clifford Kokopenace’s constitutional rights. The appeal judges threw out his 2008 conviction. Kokopenace had been found guilty of stabbing a friend to death on the Grassy Narrows reserve in northwestern Ontario. His Kenora district jury was selected from a panel of 175 potential jurors, only eight of whom were on-reserve residents. None of those made it on to the jury. The high court’s ruling restores Kokopenace’s original conviction. The judgment said there was a significant decline in the response rates to jury notices that were sent to onreserve residents in the years leading up to Kokopenace’s trial. Responses to the notices are used to compile lists of potential jurors, but by 2002 the response rate stood at 15.8 per cent and by 2008 had declined to
10 per cent. “Consequently, the state satisfies an accused’s right to a representative jury by providing a fair opportunity for a broad cross-section of society to participate in the jury process,” wrote Justice Michael Moldaver for the majority. He said a fair opportunity is provided when the state makes reasonable efforts to compile a jury roll using randomly selected lists that draw on a broad cross-section of society and deliver the jury notices to those who were selected. But Justice Thomas Cromwell, with Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin concurring, issued a sharp dissent. “I do not regard compliance with the Constitution as either optional or as a matter of social policy,” Cromwell wrote. “An aboriginal man on trial for murder was forced to select a jury from a roll which excluded a significant part of the community on the basis of race — his race. “This in my view is an affront to the administration of justice and undermines public confidence in the fairness of the criminal process.” Moldaver responded directly to that dissenting view in his majority ruling. “There is no question that an accused is entitled, under the charter, to a representative jury,” he wrote. But Moldaver said the key issue for him was the “state’s efforts” to compile the jury roll, and not, as Cromwell argued, the jury roll’s “ultimate composition.”
But Feltmate was surprised at how little planning cities have done to ensure access to essential goods and services —food, electricity, telecommunications, transportation, financial services — during a flooding crisis. Municipal officials tended to argue that it wasn’t their responsibility. Rather, they maintained it’s up to utility companies to supply power, grocery store chains to supply food, telecommunications companies to supply phone service, banks to keep automated banking machines working and provincial governments to keep highways open. “That kind of surprised me, those types of responses. Because quite frankly, when the floods hit and the people are suffering, they’re going turn to the mayor of the city and say,
’What are you doing, why don’t you have these things up and running?”’ Feltmate said in an interview. “They’re not going to say, ’Well, oh, we understand that’s not your responsibility.’ It effectively becomes their responsibility quite quickly.” Feltmate is hoping the study will prompt mayors and councillors to “have fairly frank conversations” about how they can better prepare their cities for flooding, the most common type of natural disaster in Canada. Even the City of Ottawa, the best prepared, can do better. As for the least prepared, Feltmate said: “I would say for Halifax, quite bluntly, they need to really sit down and have a little bit of soul searching.”

He is asking the court to declare that Senate vacancies must be filled within a reasonable time. Harper has not appointed a senator since March 2013 — when the scandal over improper expenses claimed by some senators began to engulf his government. There are currently 20 vacancies in the 105-seat, unelected upper house. Harrington has not yet heard arguments or ruled on the substance of Alani’s challenge. But in rejecting the government’s bid to have it tossed, he suggested there is an obligation to appoint senators, no matter how distasteful it might be in the midst of scandal. “Without a doubt there is a political aspect to Senate appointments,” Harrington said. “From time to time the Senate, or some senators, may be a source of embarrassment to the government, to the House of Commons as a whole, and indeed, to many Canadians. “However, I know of no law which provides that one may not do what one is otherwise obliged to do simply because it would be embarrassing.”

Feds lose bid to dismiss court case over PM’s refusal to fill Senate vacancies OTTAWA — The federal government has lost a bid to thwart a court challenge aimed at compelling Prime Minister Stephen Harper to fill Senate vacancies. Federal Court Justice Sean Harrington rejected Thursday the government’s motion to have the case dismissed. The case was launched by Vancouver lawyer Aniz Alani, who maintains the unfilled vacancies are unconstitutional, leaving provinces under-represented and the Senate less able to carry out its constitutional role as the chamber of sober second thought.

B1 Ducks take down Blackhawks
FRIDAY, MAY 22, 2015
JUMP OUT TO A 2-1 SERIES LEAD BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Ducks 2 Blackhawks 1 CHICAGO — Frederik Andersen and the Anaheim Ducks left that grueling Game 2 loss back in Anaheim. They brought their special teams to Chicago. Andersen made 27 saves, helping Anaheim kill off five power plays, and the Ducks beat the Chicago Blackhawks 2-1 on Thursday night for a 2-1 lead in the Western Conference finals. Defenceman Simon Despres scored his first career playoff goal in the second period as top-seeded Anaheim bounced back quite nicely from Tuesday night’s triple-overtime loss that included two power-play goals for Chicago. Patrick Maroon also scored for the Ducks, and Ryan Getzlaf had two assists. “This was a character win,” coach Bruce Boudreau said. Ryan Kesler’s two holding penalties contributed to more than nine powerplay minutes for the Blackhawks, but the Ducks’ penalty killers kept most of Chicago’s opportunities to the outside and Andersen stood his ground during a couple of goalmouth scrums. “Yeah, we just sharpened up on the PK,” Andersen said. “We weren’t satisfied with what we did the last game. That was huge for this group coming off a tough loss where we gave up two goals on the PK. We wanted to be better today.” Patrick Kane scored his eighth playoff goal for Chicago, and Corey Crawford made 25 saves. “It’s frustrating that we lost, and frustrating because we had some opportunities whether it was the power play or different chances and stuff that would get me back in the game,” Kane said. “Other than that, we knew it was going to be a tough series. This is a good team. It’s tough to lose, especially at home, but we’ve got to regroup.” Game 4 is Saturday night in Chicago. The teams were tied at 1 before Despres drove a pass from Getzlaf past Crawford from the right wing with 55 seconds left in the second. Despres came over in a trade with Pittsburgh in March. “It’s been a good run so far,” De-

It’s a team game and the team has been playing very well so far.” The Blackhawks outshot the Ducks 10-5 in the third, but couldn’t get the tying goal as Andersen continued his great run in the playoffs. Anaheim finished with 27 blocked shots, compared to nine for Chicago. “We have a great team that is willing to sacrifice themselves like that,” said Andersen, who has allowed just 23 goals in the Ducks’ 10-2 start to the post-season. “It’s awesome to have a group of guys like that in front of you. That helps me out a lot.” Two days after Chicago’s 3-2 victory in Anaheim, the Blackhawks shuffled their lineup while the Ducks went with
the same group for Game 3. Forwards Kris Versteeg and Joakim Nordstrom were active, replacing Antoine Vermette and Teuvo Teravainen in a bit of surprise. Versteeg and Nordstrom were mostly quiet in their first action since the first round against Nashville. “We just wanted to get some fresh legs in there,” coach Joel Quenneville said. “We felt that Steeger had never played over a long stretch in the last series, we wanted to get him back in there. You know, tough game the other day, travel. We wanted to bring some new guys in.” While the Blackhawks struggled on the power play, the Ducks capitalized on their only chance with the man advantage. With Marian Hossa in the box
for holding, Maroon tipped Hampus Lindholm’s long slap shot past Crawford at 12:55 of the first for a 1-0 lead. Anaheim then killed off a double minor on Jakob Silfverberg for highsticking, but Chicago tied it at 1 when Kane converted a spinning backhander in the final minute of the first. It was the first point of the series for Kane, who had seven goals and six assists in the first two rounds. The Ducks made a big push at the start of the second, recording eight of the first nine shots on goal. The Blackhawks started to play better midway through the period, but Andersen had a nice stop on an open look for Jonathan Toews at 9:17, and then had an outstanding glove save on Brandon Saad with 1:24 to go.

Houston Rockets guard James Harden, right, dribbles against Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry during the first half of Game 2 of the NBA Western Conference finals in Oakland, Calif., Thursday.
Warriors defuse Rockets to take 2-0 series lead BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Warriors 99 Rockets 98 OAKLAND, Calif. — James Harden had Game 2 on his fingertips — and then he didn’t. Now the Golden State Warriors have the Western Conference finals in their grasp. Stephen Curry scored 33 points before Harden lost the ball in the closing seconds, and the Warriors held off the Houston Rockets 99-98 on Thursday night to take a 2-0 lead in the series. Harden rallied the Rockets from 17 points down in the second quarter and had a chance to finish off the comeback in the fourth. Instead, Klay Thompson harassed him and Curry came over to trap Harden, who lost the ball as time expired. “It’s great competition,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. “It’s two teams that really want to get to the finals.” Harden fell to the floor and put his hands over his head as the Warriors celebrated on the court, the sellout crowd roared and golden-yellow confetti fell from the rafters. Harden had 38 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists, and Dwight Howard overcame a sprained left knee that slowed him down to finish with 19 points and 17 rebounds for a Rockets team headed home in a major hole. Game 3 is Saturday in Houston.
Curry, the NBA MVP, made five 3-pointers to go with six assists and three rebounds. He got a big boost from his teammates — notably Andrew Bogut, Draymond Green and Thompson — to regroup after the Warriors lost the big lead in the first half. But the Warriors pulled ahead again late in the fourth quarter because of Curry — with his shot and his passes. Curry connected on a 3-pointer, then found Bogut under the rim for a layup that sent the 7-footer flexing his muscles and shouting to the roaring, yellow-shirt wearing crowd. Bogut missed the ensuing free throw, but the Warriors led 96-89 with 2:25 left. Harden, the MVP runner-up, kept finding ways to draw fouls and brought Houston back on free throws. The Rockets also forced the Warriors into an 8-second, backcourt violation before Harden found Howard for an alley-oop that sliced Golden State’s lead to 99-98 with 33 seconds remaining. Harrison Barnes missed a difficult reverse layup contested by Howard as the shot clock nearly expired. Harden got the ball down the court, and Rockets coach Kevin McHale elected not to call timeout because his team had the Warriors scrambling and outmanned. Harden was trapped by Thompson, and Curry came over as Harden lost the ball. Time expired amid the scramble.

Going for another Memorial Cup ROCKETS, GENERALS, OCEANIC AND REMPARTS HAVE BEEN THERE AND WON BEFORE BY THE CANADIAN PRESS QUEBEC — There are no strangers in this year’s Memorial Cup tournament. The four teams that will begin the battle at the Pepsi Colisee on Friday night have been in major junior hockey’s championship tournament repeatedly, although its been 25 years since the Oshawa Generals’ last appearance. Each team has won it at least once, and all are capable of winning again. The Kelowna Rockets, led by scoring star Leon Draisaitl, plowed through the Western Hockey League playoffs with a 16-3 record, including a fourgame sweep of the top-ranked Brandon Wheat Kings in the final. The Rimouski Oceanic went 16-4 in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League post-season, but needed a goal by Michael Joly in the second overtime period to beat the Quebec Remparts in Game 7 of the final. Oshawa, fresh from a 13th Ontario Hockey League championship after going 16-5 in the playoffs, used the best defence in all three leagues to send phenom Connor McDavid and the Erie Otters packing in only five games in their final. And the host Remparts bring a team of speed and skill led by Tampa Bay Lightning prospect Adam Erne, who scored 21 goals in 22 playoff games. The Remparts open the round robin portion of the 10-day tournament Friday night against Kelowna, while Oshawa plays Rimouski on Saturday afternoon. The event features six players who won gold for Canada at the 2015 world junior championship: goalie Zach Fucale and forward Anthony Duclair of the Remparts; defencemen Madison Bowey and Josh Morrissey of Kelowna and defenceman Sam Morin and for-
ward Frederik Gauthier of Rimouski. The Rockets, whose only Memorial Cup win in four trips to the event was in 2004, will have been off 10 days when they face the Remparts. They used that time to practice and study video of their opponents. Their players to watch include Draisaitl, drafted third overall by the Edmonton Oilers last June. The German had 28 playoff points, one more than draft-eligible centre Nick Merkley. Bowey, the captain, had 19 points in as many games for a team famous for developing top defencemen. Their alumni includes Duncan Keith, Shea Weber and Tyler Myers. Coach Dan Lambert played at the Colisee in the early 1990s, when he skated in 29 games for the defunct Quebec Nordiques. The Remparts, looking to become the first host team to win since the Shawinigan Cataractes in 2012, won the Cup in 1971 (with Guy Lafleur) and 2006. Erne, Duclair and stocky Kurt Etchegary lead the attack, with draft-
eligible Dmytro Timashov coming off a 90-point season. Fucale, who won a Memorial Cup with the Halifax Mooseheads in 2013, brings big-game experience. Quebec didn’t miss a beat when owner, coach and general manager Patrick Roy left for the Colorado Avalanche two seasons ago, with Philippe Boucher taking over behind the bench. The Generals, whose alumni includes Bobby Orr, Eric Lindros and John Tavares, are seeking a fifth Memorial Cup but a first since 1990. Coach D.J. Smith’s squad is led by New York Islanders first rounder Michael Dal Colle and faceoff ace Cole Cassels, who had 31 playoff points each. Matt Mistele had 13 post-season goals, while Ken Appleby was a standout in goal. The Oceanic, the former team of Vincent Lecavalier and Sidney Crosby, won its Memorial Cup in 2000 with Brad Richards as its star. Their attack is led by Alexis Loiseau and Anthony Deluca, but their main strength is on defence with Morin and loaded with scoring talent, have another on the way with the six-footone 218-pound left winger. The New Haven, Conn. native was second in QMJHL playoff scoring with 21 goals and nine assists in 22 games. Picked 33rd overall by the Bolts in 2013.
Players to watch at the Mastercard Memorial Cup Leon Draisaitl, Kelowna Rockets
The six-foot-one, 210-pound centre led the Rockets in playoff scoring with 10 goals and 28 points in 19 games. Drafted third overall by Edmonton in 2014, the German started the season with the Oilers, then was returned to the Western Hockey League in January.

crafty Czech rearguard Jan Kostalek. Coach Serge Beausoleil saw top goalie Philippe Desrosiers struggle early in the playoffs, but backup Louis-Philip Guindon was brilliant in relief. Beausoleil went back to Desrosiers to finish off the Remparts. The Dallas Stars prospect will likely start in the Memorial Cup.
Michael Dal Colle, Oshawa Generals
Led the generals with 93 points in the regular season and tied with teammate Cole Cassels for second in OHL playoff scoring (behind Erie’s Connor McDavid) with 31 points in 21 games. Picked fifth overall by the New York Islanders in 2014.
Jan Kostalek, Rimouski Oceanic
The six-foot-one, 195 pound defenceman was force as the Oceanic topped the Remparts in the QMJHL final. The 20-year-old Czech had eight goals and 21 points in 20 post-season games. Drafted 114th overall by the Winnipeg Jets in 2013.
Nick Merkley, Kelowna Rockets
The 17-year-old’s stock for the 2015 draft keeps rising. A five-foot-10 centre, Merkley is a playmaker with a tenacious, energetic game. The Calgary native was third in WHL playoff scoring with five goals and 27 points.

Spieth has share of first round lead at Colonial FORT WORTH, Texas — Masters champion Jordan Spieth got his homecoming off to a leading start with a birdie before dark. Spieth made a 20-foot putt from just off the fringe on the final hole for a 6-under 64 and a share of the first-round lead Thursday in the rain-delayed Colonial. “I had a few of those on the back nine, a few good looks where I knew what the putt was doing, I just didn’t match the line and speed right,” Spieth said. “I was getting a little frustrated through 17 there. I was like just one more look. ... I didn’t really count (18) as a look, but maybe more like luck, and we’ll take it.” The closing birdie, just after 8 p.m., tied Spieth with Kevin Na, Boo Weekley and Ryo Ishikawa. There was a huge roar at No. 1 when Spieth teed off in the first of consecutive events at home in North Texas since becoming a major champion. The Dallas player’s approach at No. 18 landed just off the back right edge of the green surrounded by family, friends and plenty of fans. “I was little frustrated to see where my ball went, but I was still was able to soak in kind of the welcoming to the 18th green,” he said. “I’m sure it will continue to grow.” Spieth opened his bogey-free round with a 25-foot birdie putt at No. 1, then started the back nine with a 22-footer at No. 10. He had a great chance for another birdie on the par-3 16th, but a tricky 4-foot try slid by the hole. Ishikawa, the 23-year-old from Japan, and 2013 Colonial champion Weekley also were without a bogey. Na, whose only bogey came at No. 18 to close his first nine, curled up in a corner of the locker room and took a nap when tee times for the morning groups like his were pushed back three hours after more than an inch of rain fell overnight at Hogan’s Alley. “Pulled off a little veteran move, took about an hour nap,” said Na, who grabbed a few extra towels, making one into a pillow, using another for a blanket and throwing another over his head. “So I felt great when I woke up.” Na originally woke up at 5 a.m. for a scheduled 7:22 a.m. tee time. The afternoon groups started 2 hours, 40 minutes later than scheduled, but all 122 players managed to finish before dark. George McNeill and Ian Poulter, who shared the lead before his only bogey at No. 18, were a shot back after shooting 65. David Hearn is the top Canadian after the first round. The Brantford, Ont. native sits in a tie for seventh at 4 under. Nick Taylor of Abbotsford, B.C. is tied for 25th at 2 under, Abbotsford’s Adam Hadwin is 1 under while Graham DeLaet of Weyburn, Sask. is even. Mike Weir, from Bright’s Grove, Ont. shot a 5-over 75. A group of nine players carded 66s on a day when players were able to lift, clean and place their golf balls hit in the fairways. “We couldn’t have had better scoring conditions today. Just the wind died down, and you could just throw darts, and they were landing and stopping,” Spieth said. “I’d like to play golf in this weather the rest of my life.”

NHL SALARY CAP CHICAGO — NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman expects the salary cap for the 2015-16 season to settle in around $71 million, depending on the fluctuations of the Canadian dollar. Appearing between the first and second periods of Game 3 of the Western Conference finals Thursday night between the Anaheim Ducks and hometown Blackhawks, the commissioner said he expects it to climb five per cent from this year’s cap figure of $69 million. Bettman also faced several questions about concussions three months after the death of former defenceman Steve Montador, 35, who was subsequently found to have suffered from chronic traumatic encephelopathy — or CTE — a degenerative brain disease.

Dickey goes distance in Jays win ENCARNACION AND VALENCIA HOME RUNS HELP JAYS SALVAGE SPLIT WITH ANGELS BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Blue Jays 8 Angels 4 TORONTO — Blue Jays starter R.A. Dickey made some adjustments to his delivery Thursday night and it paid off with his first complete game of the season. The veteran knuckleballer said he slowed the tempo down and it helped give the pitch some late movement. It left the Los Angeles Angels largely befuddled in Toronto’s 8-4 victory at Rogers Centre. Edwin Encarnacion and Danny Valencia hit homers to give their starter a nice cushion as the Blue Jays salvaged a split of the four-game series in front of 19,014 fans. Dickey (2-5) gave up a solo shot to Marc Krauss in the first inning and settled down after that. David Freese hit a two-run shot in the ninth inning for Los Angeles (21-20) to make the scoreline more respectable. “I wasn’t going to let a small blip on the radar determine the outcome of the game,� Dickey said of the early homer. “I was thankful tonight that I did a good job of arresting a lot of momentum that they might have been building. “So hopefully this will be a great stepping stone towards a more consistent performance.� It was the 14th complete game of Dickey’s career and his first since last July. He recorded a seasonhigh seven strikeouts and gave up four earned runs and five hits while walking a pair. “He gave us a big lift,� said Blue Jays manager John Gibbons. “Of course then we gave him some breathing room too with some runs. We got some big production up and down the lineup, which is what you need to do. So it was just a good all-around game.� It was Toronto’s second win in its last nine games. The Blue Jays (19-24) will continue their 10-game homestand Friday night against the Seattle Mariners. Valencia’s first homer of the season came in the third inning. The Blue Jays scored twice in the frame and added four more runs in the fifth, capped by Encarnacion’s 10th homer of the year. Angels starter Matt Shoemaker (3-4) lasted six in-

He gave up seven earned runs, eight hits and two walks while striking out four. “He made a lot of mistakes in tonight’s game with his off-speed pitches,� said Los Angeles manager Mike Scioscia. “He got away with some and some he didn’t.� Steve Tolleson and Ryan Goins scored two runs apiece for the Blue Jays, who outhit the Angels 10-5. Toronto has won three of its last 12 games overall. “We’re rallying as hard as we can in here,� Tolleson said. “We’re not happy with the way things have gone the last week or so, or even the whole season to kind of put that out there.
“There’s a lot of baseball left and it’s a very talented group. It’s just a matter of time before we click.� Notes: The game took two hours 22 minutes to play. ... Krauss filled in for slugger Albert Pujols, who is day to day after being hit by a pitch in the left hand on Wednesday night. ... Toronto shortstop Jose Reyes is expected to return to the Blue Jays early next week. He started a rehab stint with triple-A Buffalo on Thursday night in Toledo. ... The Angels will wrap up their 10-game road trip with a weekend series in Boston. ... Felix Hernandez (6-1, 2.30 ERA) is scheduled to start for the Mariners on Friday night against fellow right-hander Marco Estrada (1-2, 3.55).
Banged-up Cavaliers Fatigue hits McIlroy at BMW PGA Championship and Hawks do quick rehab heading into Friday’s Game 2 BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NBA PLAYOFFS BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
VIRGINIA WATER, England — Defending champion Rory McIlroy shot a 1-under 71 on Thursday, leaving him six shots behind leader Francesco Molinari at the BMW PGA Championship after a mixed performance he blamed on mental fatigue. Playing for the fourth straight week, the topranked McIlroy failed to recapture the form that saw him surge to a record seven-shot victory at the Wells Fargo Championship at Quail Hollow last week. McIlroy had two birdies and two bogeys in his first five holes, missing a 12-foot putt for par at the first hole after failing to find the green with his approach. He went birdie-bogey-birdie from Nos. 12-14, and could not take advantage of par-5s on the final two holes. “Physically I feel fine but mentally I could feel myself getting down on myself out there, which is not something I have been doing the last three weeks,� McIlroy said.
“I just need to be aware of that and keep everything on an even keel. It is acceptance of bad shots. Every time I have played well this year, I have been talking about how mentally good I have been. I feel like my patience was wearing thin out there today.� Molinari carded a flawless 65, closing his round with two straight birdies on the last two holes. The Italian has three top-10 finishes in the last three years at the European Tour’s flagship event and came second at the Spanish Open last week. “It is a great start but you don’t win the trophy on the first day,� Molinari said. “I like the course, I think it rewards accuracy more than others, which suits my game.� Robert Karlsson is two shots behind Molinari. The Swede went round in 67, making two of his six birdies across the last three holes. Justin Rose also began his tournament with a 1-under 71, and two-time winner Luke Donald made a 2-under 70. Stephen Gallacher and Padraig Harrington were both forced to withdraw from the competition through injury.
ATLANTA — While the Atlanta Hawks try to figure out who will guard LeBron James, the Cleveland Cavaliers are just grateful the four-time MVP is still standing. It’s understandable. This series could turn into a war of attrition — and they’ve only played one game. James was limping around, Kyrie Irving went to the bench and didn’t return and DeMarre Carroll is listed as day-to-day after being helped off the court in Game 1. There was “raging fear� swelling in Cleveland coach David Blatt when he saw James in obvious pain after rolling his right ankle for the second time in the playoffs. But James, who said his first thought was “not again,� simply tied his shoe tighter and was back on the court within minutes.

Mayan named to CJHL Western All-Star team Soccer
EASTERN CONFERENCE Cleveland 1, Atlanta 0 Wednesday, May 20: Cleveland 97, Atlanta 89
Rimbey native Travis Mayan was named to the Canadian Junior Hockey League Western All-Star Team on Wednesday. The five-foot-10, 161-pound right winger won the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League scoring race by 20 points while playing for the Melfort Mustangs. He finished with 84 points (40 goals, 44 assists) in 56 games, ahead of Red Deer native Chris Rauckman who had 64 points (39-25-64) in 56 games while playing for the Flin Flon Bombers. Mayan added 21 more points (1110-21) in 14 playoff games as the Mustangs won the SJHL championship and finished as runner-up in the Western Canada Cup in Fort McMurray . They advanced to the RBC Cup, the junior A national championship, in Portage La Prairie, Man., where they were eliminated in the semifinal by the eventual champion Portage Terriers as Mayan scored three goals in five games. Mayan played his minor hockey in Sylvan Lake, including leading the Sylvan Lakers Midget AA team in scoring with 67 points (34-33-67) in 2011-12. Mayan was joined on the all-star team by Brooks Bandits (AJHL) centre Austin Plevy and Coquitlam Express (BCHL) winger Corey Macklin up front. Linden Springer of the Bandits and Tanner Jago of the Portage Terriers (MJHL) were selected as defencemen and Nic Raynard of the Okotoks Oilers (AJHL) was tabbed as goalie.
Midget AAA Braves down Dawgs White to run win streak to four games The Red Deer Midget AAA Carstar Braves stretched their winning streak to four games on Wednesday with a 4-2 victory over the Okotoks Dawgs White at Great Chief Park. Ty Wagar picked up the win, throwing six innings and giving up two runs on 10 hits and four walks while striking out five. Austin Hammond picked up the save, allowing two hits and no runs in the final inning. Jordan Muirhead paced the Braves offence with a single, a double, a stolen base and two runs scored.

Rangers look to contain high-scoring Lightning BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS TAMPA, Fla. — Henrik Lundqvist seems baffled. The New York Rangers allowed 12 goals in losing their last two playoff games, and one of the NHL’s top goalies is at a loss to explain why. If Lundqvist and his teammates can’t find answers in a hurry, their chances of overcoming a 2-1 deficit in the best-of-7 Eastern Conference finals don’t appear good. “It’s really challenging for me, the way they move the puck and find open ice for the shot, the way they get scoring chances from right in front. They’re good, but I need to be more consistent with my game plan,” Lundqvist said Wednesday night after a 6-5 overtime loss in Game 3. Game 4 is Friday night, with the Lightning looking to move a step closer to a spot in the Stanley Cup and the Rangers hoping even the series heading back to New York for Game 5 on Sunday. “Sometimes as a team, we can be a little bit better, but also I have to be better,” Lundqvist said. “We’re not going to win if I give up six goals.” And the Rangers realize they have to help their goalie. The speedy Lightning are only halfway to the four wins necessary to advance, however the way they’ve forged their series edge after dropping Game 1 2-1 on the road has been impressive. The Rangers have a fast team, too,
‘IT’S REALLY CHALLENGING FOR ME, THE WAY THEY MOVE THE PUCK AND FIND OPEN ICE FOR THE SHOT, THE WAY THEY GET SCORING CHANCES FROM RIGHT IN FRONT. THEY’RE GOOD, BUT I NEED TO BE MORE CONSISTENT WITH MY GAME PLAN.’ — HENRIK LUNDQVIST NEW YORK RANGERS GOALTENDER
yet they’ve still had difficulty keeping up with Tampa Bay’s Triplets, the highscoring line featuring Tyler Johnson, Ondrej Palat and Nikita Kucherov. Johnson scored his NHL playoffleading 12th goal, Palate scored twice and Kucherov rammed the Game 3 winner past Lundqvist 3:33 into overtime. “We found a way, and that’s what the playoffs are all about — finding a way,” Lightning captain Steven Stamkos said. “It wasn’t pretty at times, but you get the win and that’s all that matters.” Both team squandered two-goal leads Wednesday night. Tampa Bay went ahead again with under 6 minutes left in regulation, only to see the Rangers counter with under 2 minutes remaining. Lundqvist said it’s been tough to keep track of the puck with the Lightning seemingly able to do anything they want the past two games. And while the Rangers say they need to do a better job on defence in front of the goaltender, both teams
Ward, Petry among free agents who made some more money in playoffs
agree it won’t be easy to slow the pace of play. “I think both teams want to play fast. I think that’s been our identity all season long,” Stamkos said. “How do you slow a game down between two really fast teams?” Lightning coach Jon Cooper offered. “I think it’s just two hockey teams trying to win a game. If it’s 6-5 or 2-1, you’re still trying to win a game.” Nevertheless, it’s difficult to imagine the Rangers prevailing without finding a way to get back to playing low-scoring games. Nine of the 15 games they’ve played this post-season have been decided by a score of 2-1, with New York winning seven of those games. Still, coach Alain Vigneault rejected the notion that his team has to prevent the Lightning from setting the tempo. “I don’t think either team can dictate the pace of the game,” Vigneault said Thursday, noting the Rangers did score five goals on Tampa Bay’s Ben Bishop in Game 3.
Cormier, Johnson admit Jon Jones looms large over title fight UFC 187 BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BY THE CANADIAN PRESS NHL players make their money during the regular season, but a strong performance in the playoffs can still lead to a bigger paycheque. Joel Ward made extra on his last contract with the Washington Capitals from his post-season exploits with the Nashville Predators and is one of a handful of pending unrestricted free agents who improved their stock in these playoffs. Montreal Canadiens defenceman Jeff Petry, Anaheim Ducks winger Matt Beleskey and Capitals teammate Jay Beagle certainly didn’t hurt themselves, either. Ward had three goals, including one game-winner, and six assists in two seven-game series. The Toronto native has 35 points in 53 career Stanley Cup playoff games, a 0.66 point-per-game average. “He scores the big goals in the big moments, no doubt about that, and he plays big in the big games,” agent Peter Cooney said Monday. “I think you want players like that.” Washington general manager Brian MacLellan told reporters Monday in Arlington, Va., that the Capitals played at their highest level during the second-round series against the New York Rangers. Ward was a huge part of that. “For me, playoffs, you get excited, and when you’re into the series something kicks in that you don’t want it to end,” Ward said last week on the Capitals’ exit day. Like Petry in Montreal, Ward could return to Washington, where he’s comfortable with coach Barry Trotz, his teammates and role. But with a US$12million, four-year deal set to expire, the 34-year-old is due a raise, and Cooney said term was also important. Petry is sure to get a long contract, assuming he wants it, as a 27-year-old right-handed-shooting defenceman. Canadiens GM Marc Bergevin said the
organization was pleased with how Petry performed since coming over in a tradedeadline deal from Edmonton, so getting him a new deal is on the to-do list. Joel Ward “He played some big minutes,” Bergevin told reporters in Brossard, Que., last week. “I know his strengths, and I think he fits perfect for our team and obviously will be a priority to bring back in Montreal.” Petry averaged over 22 minutes a game in the playoffs. Because P.K. Subban also shoots right, Petry would be a high-end second-pair defenceman for the Habs, but he’ll get paid like a firstpair one. Beleskey’s free-agent case is more curious. He had the first 20-plus-goal season of his career but was also included a healthy scratch on occasion. The 26-year-old has five goals in 10 playoff games, good for seventh overall, on Anaheim’s second line alongside Ryan Kesler and Jakob Silfverberg. Beagle could be in line for a contract similar to the one former teammate Matt Hendricks got two summers ago (US$7.4 million for four years from the Nashville Predators). Brandon Prust’s $10-million, four-year deal with Montreal in 2012 set the precedent for valuable grinders. In the regular season Beagle, a Calgary native, set new career highs in goals with 10 and points with 20 and won over 56 per cent of his faceoffs. At 29, Beagle is developing into a strong shutdown centre led the playoffs by winning 63.8 per cent of his draws. Beagle is known as a workout warrior and now has 37 games of playoff experience on his resume. MacLellan would like to keep him from getting to the open market July 1.
“It was a good hockey game,” the coach added. Tampa Bay won Game 2 on the road, converting three of six power-play opportunities. Wednesday night, they scored at least five goals on Lundqvist for the fourth time in six meetings between the teams this season (including three regular season games). Rangers centre Derek Stepan said a lack of discipline, leading to penalties, undermined New York in Game 2. He called Game 3 “just one of those games” where each team was able to take advantage of mistakes by the other and put the puck in the net. Even though the Lightning won, they weren’t entirely comfortable with it turning into a run-and-gun game. “We think we definitely have the talent to” play that way,“ centre Alex Killorn said. ”But I think prefer not to trade chances because you never know what could happen. I think if we played a more structured game defensively, that would be to our advantage.“ The Rangers aim to play better defence, too, in hopes of giving Lundqvist a chance. “You have to believe you can make a difference,” the goalie said. “I have to play better. I’ll do whatever I can.” New York is counting on it. “Hank is very accountable, very demanding of himself,” Vigneault said. “He’s going to do what any good goaltender does. He’s going to put (Wednesday’s) game behind him and move on to (Friday night).”
When Daniel Cormier faces Anthony “Rumble” Johnson for the light heavyweight title at UFC 187 on Saturday night in Las Vegas, the third man in the cage isn’t the referee. Jon Jones wore that belt for the previous four years until his incredible mixed martial arts career was interrupted by his latest embarrassment outside the octagon. He was suspended and stripped of his title last month after police say he left the scene of a car crash. Cormier (15-1) took his place against Johnson (19-4) in a fight to fill the vacancy. Although their bout is a compelling stylistic matchup between two charismatic wrestlers with mutual respect, Cormier and Johnson realize this title fight carries an enormous asterisk to many fans. “It does get a little annoying, because it’s like people aren’t showing the respect Daniel and I deserve,” Johnson said. “It’s almost like they see us like some chumps or something like that, you know what I mean? We didn’t make Jon do what he did. That was his own doing. We are top of the food chain right now. ... In my eyes and in my heart, whoever wins this title isn’t the paper champ. We are the absolute champion of the weight class.” Cormier and Johnson are the new headliners of the UFC’s stacked Memorial Day weekend show in its hometown at the MGM Grand Garden. The card is topped by two title fights, with middleweight champion Chris Weidman also making his long-delayed defence against Brazil’s Vitor Belfort.
The UFC took away Jones’ belt after police say he broke a pregnant woman’s arm and then fled the crash in New Mexico, resulting in his arrest on felony charges. Jones has made several serious mistakes outside the cage during his UFC career, including another arrest for driving misadventures in 2012 and an admission of a positive test for cocaine late last year, but they hadn’t slowed his rise to become arguably the sport’s most dominant fighter. Cormier already fought Jones in January after a contentious promotional campaign for their bout that left him with “the energy just drained out of me.” The former U.S. Olympic wrestler thought his title chances had vanished after Jones won a clear decision, handing Cormier his first career loss. Instead, Jones’ banishment created a second chance, and Cormier won’t apologize for taking it. Cormier took the fight with Johnson on three weeks’ notice, although he already was in training camp for a bout next month. “The thing for me and Anthony to do is hold that belt high, and be proud of the accomplishment,” Cormier said. “Because there are so many people in the world that will never, ever reach that level.” Johnson made his own remarkable comeback to earn his first UFC title shot. He hasn’t lost in nine bouts since January 2012, but he began that streak at a nadir: He missed the middleweight limit by 11 pounds for a bout against Belfort, and then got choked out in the first round. Johnson was released by the UFC after the debacle, and he fought in three smaller promotions before earning a return in February 2014. He won three more UFC fights, capped by a stunning first-round stoppage of former title contender Alexander Gustafsson last January in Sweden.

Doubts about Nadal opens door for Djokovic BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
2015 FRENCH OPEN What is Roger Federer still capable of at age 33? Can Andy Murray stay unbeaten as a married man? Could Serena Williams become the third woman with 20 major titles? Could Maria Sharapova win a third French Open championship in four years? Yet nothing should be as fascinating as following the paths of Nadal and Djokovic. So far in 2015, Nadal is 17-5 on clay. Not terrible, but certainly not up to his usual standards. This is a guy who went 126-4 on the surface from 2006-10. He last lost more than three clay matches in a single season all the way back in 2003. His heavy topspin forehand hasn’t been as reliable. He’s been less aggressive. Courier sees movement that’s not as fluid, too, with a longer, less powerful stride. There are other issues for Nadal, whose 14 Grand Slam titles are tied with Pete Sampras for second-most among men, behind Federer’s 17. His only French Open loss came against Robin Soderling in the fourth round in 2009. Humility long has been a Nadal trademark, but he’s been unusually frank about feeling nervous and lacking self-belief. “I’m still playing with too much nerves for a lot of moments, in impor-

tournaments at Queen’s Club and Wimbledon, which starts June 29. He was a semifinalist at the All England Club last year. His operation last week in France was intended to help a condition that usually involves the thickening of the tissue around a nerve leading to a toe.
PARIS — Sixth-ranked Milos Raonic will miss the French Open after having surgery on his right foot. The Canadian announced his withdrawal Thursday, a day before the draw for the clay-court Grand Slam tournament. Raonic was forced to retire from a match at Monte Carlo in April and skip the tournament in Rome last week. The French Open begins Sunday. Raonic says his rehabilitation work to come back from the injury “will continue this week and I will shortly begin preparations” for grass-court
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS FRENCH LICK, Ind. — Massy Kuramoto’s approach to the difficult Pete Dye Course at French Lick Resort was simple. “If I’m going to hit straight and hit the fairway, I can play 2 over, 3 over. I tried to play 1 over front nine, 1 over back nine,” he said, grinning, with both index fingers upraised. Kuramoto did even better than that Thursday in the first round of the Senior PGA Championship. He shot a 1-under 71 to take the lead. Defending champion Colin Montgomerie, Billy Andrade, Barry Lane, Jean Francois Remesy and Bart Bryant were a shot back. Bernhard Langer, Tom Lehman and Scott Verplank were in the large group at 73 on a difficult day for golf. The temperature was in the upper 40s for the early starters and it crept only to 60 as the sun finally broke through in late afternoon. Sweaters and rain jackets were the uniform of the day and scoring on the rugged Dye Course’s twisting fairways and small greens did not come easily. With 17 major champions and seven World Golf Hall of Fame members in the field of 156 players, only 30 shot 74 or better. “We’re old,” said Andrade, an early starter. “We’re old guys. When it gets cold, maybe we don’t hit it as far and as well. It’s a survival test.” Peter Jacobsen knew the feeling. “It felt like a British Open,” he said after scattering eight bogeys in an 80. “It’s cold. It starts to rain. There’s nowhere to miss the ball on this course.”

tant moments, still playing a little bit anxious in those moments,” Nadal said in late March. “But I’m going to fix it. I don’t know if in one week, in six months, or in one year, but I’m going to do it.” In 2014, he arrived at Roland Garros with three losses on clay and appeared vulnerable to some, then began slowly. By the end of the 15-day tournament — surprise! — Nadal had collected yet another trophy. “Players carry scar tissue with them from difficult defeats. Nadal has been the best I’ve seen at putting minor defeats and minor issues behind him and just looking ahead to the next point. But it feels like this year he’s carrying a little bit of the weight of past misses and isn’t looking ahead with quite the same crystal-clear vision he’s had,” Courier said. “You can see a little

For years and years — a full decade, in fact — Rafael Nadal ruled the French Open the way no one had ever dominated any Grand Slam tennis tournament, winning 66 of 67 matches and collecting nine championships, including the last five in a row. This year, his far-poorer-than-usual results on red clay and acknowledged crisis of confidence are generating talk that his reign at Roland Garros might be about to end. When the season’s second major tournament begins Sunday, the lefty from Spain will not be the favourite, despite what he’s done in the past. Instead, Novak Djokovic is considered the man to beat, as he bids to complete a career Grand Slam and extend a terrific season that includes the Australian Open title and a current 22-match winning streak. “Nadal has shown some weakness this year, both physically and mentally, that we just haven’t seen from him, and I think that’s turned the light on in the locker room for some other players,” U.S. Davis Cup captain Jim Courier, a two-time French Open champion in the 1990s, said in a telephone interview. “There are players now who think they can get him, and I don’t know that, other than maybe Novak, that was necessarily the case before.” There are other story lines to watch, as always.
frustration in his eyes at times, something that we would never really see before.” Chris Evert, whose 18 Grand Slam titles included seven at the French Open, thinks opponents notice. “Look at his face,” Evert said in a telephone interview. “He seems baffled: ’Why can’t I hit those winners like I used to?”’ If Nadal truly is different this time around, Djokovic seems best positioned to take advantage. In 10 previous appearances at Roland Garros, Djokovic exited six times against Nadal, including each of the past three years — twice in the final, once in a semifinal. Djokovic can become the first man since Courier in 1992 to win the Australian Open and French Open in the same year, moving halfway to a calendar-year Grand Slam. “We’ll take it step by step,” Djokovic said, “and see how far I can go.”

Discovery in Kenya raises mysteries KENYAN SITE YIELDS OLDEST KNOWN STONE TOOLS, ASKS WHO MADE THEM AND WHY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Photo by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
In this photo made available this month by the Mission Prehistorique au Kenya — West Turkana Archaeological Project, Sonia Harmand and Jason Lewis hold stone tools found in the West Turkana area of Kenya. The artifacts, dated at 3.3 million years old, are much older than the earliest known trace of our own branch of the evolutionary family tree. So it’s a new challenge to the traditional idea that only members of our branch made stone tools. The discovery was reported in the journal Nature on Wednesday.

WASHINGTON — The combination of global warming and shifting population means that by midcentury, there will be a huge increase in the number of Americans sweating through days that are extremely hot, a new study says. People are migrating into areas — especially in the Southeast — where the heat is likely to increase more, said the authors of a study published Monday by the journal Nature Climate Change. The study highlighted the Houston-Dallas-San Antonio and Atlanta-Charlotte-Raleigh corridors as the places where the double whammy looks to be the biggest. “It’s not just the climate that is changing in the future,” said study co-author Linda Mearns, a senior scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado. “It is many things: how many people and where people are that affects their exposure to climate changes.” In a unique study looking at the interplay of projected changes in climate and population, scientists tried to characterize the number of people who will feel temperatures of 95 degrees (35 Celsius) or higher and how often they will feel it. They used a figure called person days for the extreme heat to reflect both the length of time heat waves continued and how many people felt it by multiplying people affected by how many days they felt the heat. Between 1970 and 2000, the U.S. averaged about 2.3 billion person days of extreme heat each year. But between 2040 and 2070 that number will be between 10 and 14 billion person days a year, according to the study. The scientists used 11 different climate models based on current trends of heat-trapping carbon dioxide emissions and matched those with demographic trends. Both the increased heat and population shifts had about equal effects but together they made matters even worse, said lead author Bryan Jones, a population geographer at the City University of New York.
“The significance of the find is, ”Hey, folks we better start looking before 2.6 million years ago,’ “ he said.

if the tools were made by a creature with a brain smaller than what’s found in Homo. Although he suspects the tools were made by Australopithecus, he said some of them resemble what bonobo chimps have produced when taught to do so in his own experiments. That shows “you don’t need a very large brain ... to understand the basic principles of fracturing stone,” Toth said. Rick Potts, who directs the Smithsonian’s human origins program, said another question is whether the Kenyan discovery has any direct connection to the tool-making technology known from 2.6 million years ago. In any case, he said, the discovery sends a clear message to scientists who seek stone tools.

NEW YORK — By taking a wrong turn in a dry riverbed in Kenya, scientists discovered a trove of stone tools far older than any ever found before. Nobody knows who made them — or why. At 3.3 million years old, they push back the record of stone tools by about 700,000 years. More significantly, they are half-a-million years older than any known trace of our own branch of the evolutionary tree. Scientists have long thought that sharp-edged stone tools were made only by members of our branch, whose members are designated “Homo,” like our own species, Homo sapiens. That idea has been questioned, and the new finding is a big boost to the argument that tool-making may have begun with smaller-brained forerunners instead. The discovery was reported by Sonia Harmand and Jason Lewis of Stony Brook University in New York and co-authors in a paper released Wednesday by the journal Nature. The find drew rave reviews from experts unconnected to the work. “It really absolutely moves the beginnings of human technology back into a much more distant past, and a much different kind of ancestor than we’ve been thinking of,” said anthropology professor Alison Brooks of George Washington University, who has examined some of the tools. The authors have “opened a new window onto the human past, illuminating the work of the first toolmakers and raising as many questions as they have answered,” said Eric Delson of Lehman College in New York. And Frank Brown of the University of Utah, an expert in determining the age of fossils who has known about the discovery for a couple years and visited the site, said he is “still kind of staggered by it.” The Nature paper describes 149 stones and stone flakes found west of Lake Turkana in a remote area of northern Kenya. Most objects are “cores,” which are stones that have been struck to break off sharpedged flakes. Other stones appear to have been used as hammers or anvils. Africa is where our own species first appeared, and it has long been a hotbed for finding fossils of our forerunners. The Kenyan site was discovered one day in July 2011, when Harmand, Lewis and a crew set out to survey one area and by accident ended up in another one. There were gullies and hillsides that seemed promising, so they looked around, Lewis recalled in a telephone interview. Just before tea time, a team member spotted a stone tool on the ground. More quickly appeared. Excavations followed. As stone tools go, the artifacts are remarkably big. On average, the cores stretch about 6 inches (15 centimetres) long and wide and weigh nearly 7 pounds (over 3 kilograms), for example, while the flakes are up to 8 inches (20 centimetres) long. Compared to the next-oldest-known tool artifacts, “these things are enormous,” which adds to the mystery of what they were used for, said David Braun, a tool expert at George Washington. Generally, ancient human relatives are thought to have used stone tools for hammering, such as for cracking nuts, and for their sharp edges, useful for butchering and skinning animal carcasses as well as cutting up tough plant material. Experts said they were stumped about the purpose of the Kenyan tools. Harmand said she thinks the overall purpose was to make sharp-edged flakes for cutting, but exactly how they were used is not known. Researchers are examining them with a microscope to look for clues. Then there’s the question of who made them. “The jury is out on that,” Lewis said. One candidate would be some Homo species not yet known to science, he said. Other possibilities come from outside the Homo branch, such as Australopithecus afarensis, best known for the skeleton nicknamed Lucy. Still another candidate is a creature called Kenyanthropus platyops, known from remains found not far from the site of the stone tools. Nick Toth, who co-directs the non-profit Stone Age Institute in Bloomington, Indiana, and is a professor at Indiana University, said it wouldn’t surprise him

Cruise night finds new home MALL CONSTRUCTION FORCES THURSDAY EVENING EVENT TO CROSSROADS CHURCH BY MARY-ANN BARR ADVOCATE STAFF
Photo by JEFF STOKOE/Advocate staff
The Thursday Red Deer Cruise Night, which has been a staple in the summer auto scene at Parkland Mall, is moving to a new location at CrossRoads Church while construction takes place at the mall. He said the warm, sunny weather is one factor, but another now is that a lot of oilpatch workers are unemployed and so more than usual could show up. Burden himself an unemployed oilpatch worker. The highest number of vehicles so far at a Red Deer Cruise Night was 669. Burden would like to see the number reach 800. When they have 500 vehicles show up on average, as many as 100 to 150 of them are from communities such as Calgary, Edmonton, Camrose and other Central Alberta places. Last week,
BLACKFALDS YOUTH
Armed robbery suspect enters not-guilty plea; second suspect’s charges withdrawn over alibi BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF One of five Blackfalds youths facing armed robbery charges has pleaded not guilty, while another has had his charges withdrawn after his alibi checked out. They can’t be named because of provisions in the Canada Youth Justice Act. The two appeared in Red Deer youth court on Thursday before Judge Ed Riemer. Representing a 17-yearold Blackfalds youth, lawyer Patty MacNaughton appeared on his behalf. The youth had a trial on robbery and being disguised with the intent to commit an offence scheduled for June 25. Prosecutor Wayne Silliker told Riemer that the Crown brought the charges forward to be withdrawn. After further review of the youth’s alibi, it was determined to be accurate and the Crown could no longer proceed on the charges. The youth also pleaded guilty to two violations of his probation order for missing curfew. Riemer issued two fines each worth $300 for the probation violations. A second 17-year-old Blackfalds youth, represented by lawyer Will Willms, entered not guilty pleas to charges of robbery and disguise with
intent to commit, and other charges for separate alleged incidents. Silliker indicated to Riemer that he would require two days for a youth court trial on one of the incidents and one day for the other incident. Silliker said he planned to call as many as 10 civilian witnesses and six police witnesses. The one-day trial was set for Oct. 27 in Red Deer youth court. The two-day trial was not set as a different judge has to be arranged and scheduled for a two-day youth court sitting. A 17-year-old charged in connection with these two offences pleaded guilty to eight robberies on May 1. He is scheduled to be sentenced on July 30 in Red Deer youth court. Two other youths — both aged 17 — who were charged in relation to these allegations are scheduled to appear in Red Deer youth court on May 28 and June 4. Three co-accused youths, aged 14, 16 and 16 and also from Blackfalds are charged with a separate robbery. They also appeared in Red Deer youth Court Thursday. All three had their charges adjourned to June 25. They are each charged with two counts of robbery with a weapon for a Feb. 22 incident in Blackfalds where police said two men were assaulted and robbed. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com
they had someone from as far away as Prince George, B.C. By mid-summer, they start to see a larger number of long-distance drivers attending. Burden said most participants are accepting of the move. The church will be closed during the event. The rules are the same as what they have at Parkland Mall, such as no alcohol or driving with a “heavy foot.” “It’s not necessarily just a guy thing because there’s a lot of women that really do like vehicles nowadays as well,” said Burden.
“It’s more of the auto enthusiast thing. It’s like being a little kid and going into a gigantic toy store because there’s so many different models of vehicles, so many different colours ... the things that can be done to vehicles you can see, or you can actually see the stock version as well. “It’s a very open and friendly environment ... there’s stuff from 1910 all the way to 2016.” For more information, go to reddeercruisenight.ca or reddeercruisenight.com. barr@reddeeradvocate.com
Pollinator parks, historic site on city council agenda Four parks in Red Deer may soon be tapped as pollinator parks. City council will hear a formal request from the Planning Department to designate City Hall Park, Snell Gardens, Bower Ponds and Maskepetoon Park on Monday. The dedication and promotion of the parks would preserve and enhance pollinator habitat and educate the public about the need to protect pollinators such as bees and moths. In other city council items on the agenda for Monday, another house in Red Deer may be designated a municipal historic resource under the Alberta Historical Resources Act. Council will be asked to endorse a letter of intent to designate the Willson House located at 5011-43rd Avenue in the Michener Hill neighbourhood. Council will also consider asking the Alberta Urban Municipalities Association to urge the provincial government to honour the intent of the federal New Building Fund. This means creating an eligibility
list based on municipal priorities and not simply listing capital projects for the provincial government. The city’s resolution also calls on the government to provide matching funds to projects that meet the federal government criteria. In a second resolution, the city asks AUMA to urge the government to continue to work on long-term strategies to end homelessness by working with local communities and organizations. The resolution calls for focused resources and strategies for improved access to housing first supports and targeted additional resources for emergency response strategies. Every year, municipalities submit resolutions for consideration by the Alberta Urban Municipalities Association (AUMA). In 2014, Red Deer submitted resolutions pushing for Alberta 211, school site infrastructure, provision of high school sites, mandatory vehicles emissions testing and alternative and renewable energy framework.

The largest cruise night event in Canada is leaving Red Deer — but it’s not going very far. Dave Burden said on Thursday that he looked at every parking lot in the city before deciding to temporarily relocate the immensely popular Red Deer Cruise Night to CrossRoads Church on the western edge of Red Deer. Cruise Night, which draws hundreds of classic vehicles — and is considered the largest such weekly event in the country — must move from the Parkland Mall location because of construction that will begin this summer at the mall. For up to a year, workers, equipment and materials will tie up the parking lot area now used for the Thursday evening cruise nights. Burden said the relocation at this point it is temporary and is expected to take place in mid-June. But he is awaiting some insurance quotes before finalizing the date. CrossRoads Church is on the west side of Hwy 2 off 32nd Street. Cruisers will use the southeast paved parking lot, which can handle about 500 vehicles. If the cruise numbers go higher than that, they will use an adjacent grass area to park on provided it’s not too soft from rain. The event will get a lot more visibility with the new location adjacent to Hwy 2, the busiest highway in Alberta. Alberta Transportation’s 2014 figures show the average annual daily traffic count on that section of the highway was 42,910 vehicles. And during the summer months, traffic numbers increase on Hwy 2. Burden said for those who want to attend on foot, he is in talks with a local business to provide transportation from a specific location in Red Deer, back and forth to CrossRoads Church during the event, for a minimal fee. Cruise nights are held every Thursday, weather permitting. On Thursday morning, Burden said he was expecting a possible record turnout this week, partly because of the downturn in Alberta’s economy.

It has included both duathlons and triathlons in past years, but will only be a duathlon for participants this year. The course will include a three-km run, 26.6-km bike ride and five-km run. The town announced on May 1 that the pool would be closed until repairs are made to structural columns, which were found to be corroded. Engineers were brought in to inspect the structure. It was decided to shore up the columns with additional support. However, before that work could begin, additional testing was required to ensure the floor could support the additional bracing. While initially it was hoped the pool would only be closed for a few days, the town is now estimating it won’t be open before June 1. Town communications officer Joanne Gaudet said contractors are scheduled to start work next week. Council approved $140,000 for the project, which includes engineering inspections. Problems were first brought to the town’s attention a few weeks ago as engineers examined the facility as part of preparations for the new multiplex, which will be built alongside.

Nepal quake experience shared at Sunday fundraiser Red Deer’s Beverly Williams will share her experiences in Nepal following last month’s devastating earthquake at a fundraising event on Sunday for its victims. Williams was in Nepal for a business and hiking trip when she narrowly escaped being caught at the worst-hit areas of the magnitude-7.8 earthquake on April 25. On her return home, Williams vowed to help her Nepalese guide, Harin, rebuild his family home outside Kathmandu that was levelled by the quake. Williams will make a presentation with photos she took in Nepal at the Red Deer Museum and Art Gallery at
4525 47A Ave. as a fundraiser with the Canadian Red Cross. The fundraiser starts at 2 p.m. and admission is by recommended donation of $20. All eligible donations will matched by the Canadian government and used for Red Cross’s relief efforts in Nepal. Donations of $20 or more are eligible for a tax receipt. Williams is also collecting donations for Harin at her Woolen Wonders booth at Red Deer’s Public Market on Saturdays.
Psychiatric assessement ordered for stab suspect A psychiatric assessment has been ordered for a woman accused of stabbing a nurse at the hospital at the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre in March.

The 34-year-old was arrested after a woman identified by authorities as Dion’s mother was allegedly attacked on Friday, March 6. Police have said a suspect was taken into custody the following Sunday in a vehicle that had allegedly been stolen. The nurse was treated for non-lifethreatening injuries. Dion will return to court on June 24.

Unleash your inner geek BY ADVOCATE STAFF Collectibles, graphic novels, cosplay, consignment and artwork converge at the new geek emporium in downtown Red Deer, as the Rishi Maze builds towards its grand opening. Although it had a soft opening on May 4, the new store owned by Tyler Bacon will have a grand opening and charity event on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 5 or 6 p.m. at the store’s location, suite 103 of 4919 49th St., in the basement of the Imperial Block. For the grand opening, Bacon is working on getting some cosplay involved. That will include SpiderMan, Wolverine, Batman and the robot from the Disney movie Big Hero 6. “And whoever else wants to doll up and show up,” said Bacon. Some items are available in a silent auction, including a canvas painting of Harley Quinn, a villain from the Batman universe, and a set of Mario, Nintendo video game, 8-bit canvas and an accompanying hook set. A donation box will be set up as well. A portion of the revenue from the grand opening will go to the Ronald McDonald House of Central Alberta. The cause is close to Bacon’s heart as the Calgary house helped care for his eldest daughter while she was undergoing cancer treatments a few years ago. Bacon said they will partner with the Ronald McDonald House in future events as well. The store is open from noon to 8 p.m. Tuesday to Friday and from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday. For more information, visit www.therishimaze. com or the store’s Facebook page at www.facebook. com/RishiMaze.

Best Buy Canadian sales slow

BRIEF
BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
Shares of e-commerce platform Shopify jump 51 per cent in first day of trading after $131M IPO NEW YORK — Shares of Shopify climbed 51 per cent in its first day of trading Thursday, a day after raking in about $131 million in its initial public offering, more than the company expected. Shopify stock rose $8.68 to close at $25.68. The offering of 7.7 million shares priced at $17 each, valuing the entire company at around $1.27 billion. The Canadian company works with merchants who want to offer their own online checkout services, providing a platform for small- and mid-size businesses that sell products online. Clients can use Shopify’s software to handle sales made through mobile phones, the Web, physical stores and other means. Shopify Inc. said it handled about $3.8 billion in transactions in 2014, and it reported $105 million in revenue. The jump gave Shopify one of the strongest firstday performances among companies that went public in 2015. The biggest gainers have been cancer drug developer Aduro Biotech Inc. and Shake Shack Inc., both of which more than doubled in value on their first day of trading. The stock is trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “SHOP.”
TORONTO — Best Buy Co. says slow sales of electronics in Canada — and a decision to close the Future Shop chain — left a significant dent in its firstquarter results. The Minneapolis, Mn.-based retailer reported international revenue dropped 22.1 per cent in the period to US$668 million, dragged lower by the consolidation of its Canadian brands and “ongoing softness” in the local market which led to more discounting. The company also said currency fluctuations played a role in the weakness during the quarter, and projected changes in Canada will have an even bigger impact during the second quarter, which ends in early August. Best Buy expects international revenue will drop 30 to 35 per cent on “overall disruption” from store closures and currency exchange rates. In March, Best Buy Canada announced the closure of 66 Future Shop locations, with the remaining 65 stores to be re-branded as Best Buy. The company said along with the Future Shop consolidation it would invest up to $200 million on improvements that included boosting staff levels and switching the surviving Future Shop stores over to the Best Buy format.
The store conversions will take place over the summer, while roughly “a handful” of additional Best Buy Canada locations will undergo further renovations that bring them closer to the appearance of U.S. stores, said president and chief executive Hubert Joly in a conference call with analysts. The revamped stores will reflect the “store-within-a-store” concept used in U.S. locations where brands like Apple, Windows and Samsung have designated spaces within the store, and employees who are specially trained on their products. “The customer experience needs to be amazing,” Joly told analysts. “It’s a complete revamp of the store, and we’ll see how it does during holiday and next year we will expand that to the remainder of the chain.” Best Buy Canada has also announced plans to have every store dedicate space to large home appliances, like dishwashers and washing machines, as part of a shift in the products it carries. During the quarter, the electronics retailer reported a profit of US$129 million, or 36 cents per share, down from $461 million or $1.31 per share a year ago. The results topped Wall Street expectations of 29 cents per share, according to a survey of 15 analysts by Zacks Investment Research.
Lower federal debt payments should bring even more tax relief: finance minister OTTAWA — Canada’s finance minister says if re-elected this fall the Harper government would continue cutting taxes with help from shrinking payments as the country eats away at the federal debt. Joe Oliver also says last fall’s oil-price plunge chewed $6- or $7-billion off the federal government’s bottom line. Speaking at a Bloomberg conference in Toronto, Oliver says the oil slump prevented the government from providing more benefits to Canadians in last month’s budget — including additional tax relief. But he predicts the country will have more flexibility as the economy grows in the coming years. Oliver also says the government has a “neverending task” to keep taxes low and insists he will keep driving down taxes for both small and large companies. Shortly before oil prices started their steep slide last fall, the Conservative government announced a five-year, $27-billion tax-and-benefit package aimed at families.
CPP Investment Board to shift bigger share to emerging markets: CEO TORONTO — The Canada Pension Plan Investment Board sees the United States as a key destination for investments in the near term, but expects to shift a bigger share of its assets to faster-growing emerging economies over time. Emerging markets equities account for about 5.9 per cent of the assets managed by the CPP Investment Board, but chief executive Mark Wiseman said Thursday the fund is building its capabilities in markets like India, China and Latin America in a “slow and prudent progression.” “We believe they will undoubtedly have ups and downs, but in the long run those economies will produce disproportionately higher growth than the developed economies of Europe and North America,” Wiseman said. The CPP Fund reported Thursday a return of 18.3 per cent for its latest financial year, its best showing ever. Compared with the end of fiscal 2014, the fund’s assets were up $45.5 billion from the end of fiscal 2014 — the biggest one-year gain since the fund received its first money for investments in March 1999. In the medium term, Wiseman said there are “excellent prospects” in the United States, which is home to about $100.7 billion or 38 per cent of the fund’s assets — the largest of any country.

Canada Post reports quarterly profit BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Canada Post Group delivered a profit in the first quarter, turning around a loss from the same period last year even as the national postal service faced a steeper decline in the volume of letter mail. The group, which includes financial results from Canada Post, Purolator and other businesses, reported Thursday a profit before tax of $22 million versus a loss of $37 million in the comparable period a year earlier. Revenue increased 10 per cent to $2.06 billion from $1.87 billion. Canada Post’s main business, which focuses on letters and parcels, also saw improved results on higher prices for stamps and parcels. That segment of the business saw earnings rise to $24 million before taxes compared with a loss of $27 million a year ago, while revenue grew 6.4 per cent to $1.64 billion. Letter mail volumes fell 8.4 per cent, or by 41 million pieces, compared with the year-earlier period. “This trend further reinforces that Canadians

are accelerating their adoption of digital means to receive important mail,” the postal service said in a statement. A shift in the Easter holiday meant the quarterly financial period, which ended April 4, covered the three extra business days this year. The difference positively affected Canada Post Group revenue by five per cent but increased operational costs by six per cent, the company said. Canada Post has been moving ahead with a plan to phase out door-to-door delivery across the country, though the initiative has met with some opposition. Residents and local city officials in both Hamilton and Montreal have squared off against the plan with the postal service, while the postal workers’ union has filed a lawsuit in Federal Court calling the service cancellation unconstitutional. In March, Canada Post said it had converted 100,000 addresses that had door-to-door delivery to community mail boxes in 2014 and planned to convert about 900,000 addresses this year. The postal service did not provide an update to those figures, but said that “implementation is accelerating and progressing well.”

its new chief executive is promising to expand the popular online payment system, adding a variety of services for consumers to use when shopping on their phones or in traditional stores. PayPal will be spinning off from parent company eBay later this year at a time when it’s facing new competitive challenges. Alibaba, Amazon and even Facebook are promoting online payment systems, while Apple Pay and Google Wallet are competing to handle transactions in stores and on mobile devices. Veteran executive Dan Schulman, who will be CEO of the new PayPal, says his company will compete by positioning itself as a “full-service” payments partner for consumers and merchants, handling mobile transactions, credit purchases and even customer loyalty rewards programs. PayPal was best known for many years as a payment method for purchases made on desktop computers. But consumers are increasingly using mobile phones to shop online and even when they make purchases in traditional, brick-and-mortar stores.

This Oct. 22, 2014, file photo, shows the Takata building, an automotive parts supplier in Auburn Hills, Mich. On Tuesday, May 19, 2015, Takata doubled the size of its air bag recall to 33.8 million air bags, making it the largest recall in U.S. history. The air bags can inflate with too much force, sending metal shrapnel into drivers and passengers. So far the problem has caused six deaths, including five in the U.S.
Chrysler latest air-bag lawsuit claims negligence BYTHE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — The latest in a series of proposed Canadian class-action suits over potentially deadly airbags was launched Thursday, this one over those installed in Chrysler vehicles. The lawsuits claim Japan-based Takata Corp. and its U.S. subsidiary negligently designed and manufactured “life-threatening and dangerous” bag inflators that were installed in millions of vehicles. In the latest statement of claim filed with Ontario Superior Court, the plaintiff alleges more than 36-million vehicles worldwide containing Takatamade airbags have been recalled. The suit alleges the company knew about the problem for more than a decade but failed to provide timely warnings. “Our clients and the vehicle owners deserve an answer as to why it took so long for Takata and these manufacturers took so long to issue these recalls and why these defendants exposed these vehicle owners to a risk to their well being, their lives and safety for so long,” lawyer Alex Constantin said in an interview from Windsor, Ont. Chrysler Canada, which reported a voluntary recall of more than 258,000 vehicles in January, refused a request for comment. None of the claims has been certified as a class action or proven in any court. Airbags are designed to inflate at high speed in the event of a crash, cushioning the occupants of a vehicle. The defective devices, however, can propel shrapnel into the vehicle, maiming or killing the driver, capacity. Rush Lake is part of Husky’s plan to increase output from its thermal projects by nearly 80 per cent over the next 18 months, to 78,500 barrels per day from 44,000 barrels per day. It says the Edam East project and Vawn projects, each capable of producing 10,000 barrels per day, are scheduled to come on stream in the second half of next year Husky is also working to increase the capacity of its Edam West project by 1,000 barrels per day. That project is expected to begin producing 4,500 barrels per day in the fourth quarter of 2016.
Emera plans to produce power from Bay of Fundy tides by the end of this year SAINT JOHN, N.B. — The president of Emera (TSX:EMA) says the energy company will have two underwater turbines generating power from the tides of the Bay of Fundy by the end of the year. Chris Huskilson says the turbines will be built in Nova Scotia, and the
according to the suit. The faulty design stems from a decision by Takata executives in 1999 to come up with a cheaper propellant for use in their airbags. The company began using ammonium nitrate despite knowing it to be a “risky compound,” according to the claim. “Multiple deaths and dozens of injuries have been linked to over-explosive airbag-inflator propellant causing metal components within the device to break and project through the airbag cushion material at vehicle occupants,” the claim states. Takata’s CEO has acknowledged the problem and apologized, according to the filing. The lead plaintiff, Gary Coles, of Tecumseh, Ont., bought a Chrysler 300 in 2006. In March, he contacted Chrysler Canada to find out if the vehicle contained a Takata airbag requiring replacement and the company confirmed it did. “To the date of the filing of this claim, he has not received an official recall notice from the Chrysler defendants,” the statement asserts. Constantin said his law firm launched its first action last fall and has added further ones as the scope of the problem became evident and may start new actions or amend the existing suits as more information emerges. Previous suits targeted other large vehicle makers such as Toyota, Honda, Nissan, BMW and Ford. In December, Takata rejected American regulator demand for a nationwide recall, saying there was “not enough scientific evidence” to justify one. contract for their construction will be announced within the next few weeks. Speaking at Emera’s annual shareholders’ meeting in Saint John, N.B., Huskilson said each of the turbines will generate about two megawatts of electricity. He said it could be two decades before installing the 150 turbines that would be needed to generate 300 megawatts of power. The turbines will be installed near Parrsboro, N.S. Nova Scotia Power tested an OpenHydro turbine in 2009 but it was heavily damaged by the Bay of Fundy’s powerful currents. Huskilson said they now have a better understanding of the power of the bay, and the unit has been redesigned. He said OpenHydro’s parent company — DCNS — is standing behind the design. “They are guaranteeing that this will work for us. They are a very big company with a very strong balance sheet, so that is part of how we are assured it will work,” he said. He said 70 per cent of the construction work will be done in the Maritimes, with the majority of that work being done in Nova Scotia.

A colourful tale about Helen of Troy Beauty’s Daughter By Carolyn Meyer Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Most of us know the story of Helen, queen of Sparta turned princess of Troy. The story goes that the god Zeus seduced Leda, and she in time gives birth to Helen, the most beautiful woman in all of Greece. Even in her childhood, Helen’s beauty is irresistible and KIRSTEN Thesesus, son of Poseidon, LOWE kidnaps her. For years, he keeps her under lock until her twin brothers, Castor and Pollux, rescue her. Upon her return, Clytemnestra (Helen’s older sister) marries King Agamemnon of Mycenae and, according to the decision of her father, Helen is wedded to Menelaus, Agamemnon’s brother. In their marriage, the new queen and king of Sparta have two children — Princess Hermione and Prince Pleisthenes. The boy inherits Helen’s beauty, Hermione

does not. Instead, she has her father’s vibrant red hair and her skin is splashed with freckles. Helen, vain and selfish, criticizes Hermione and even embarrasses her when she’s only the age of 10 by noticing her flat chest and lack of female curves. Around this time, when Hermione is still a child, her father receives a visit from Paris, son Priam, King of Troy. As soon has Helen and Paris’s eyes lock, Hermione knew her family was in grave danger — she sees how her mother and Paris have fallen madly in love. When Hermione’s father leaves for a short trip, Helen takes Pleisthenes, her husband’s gold and runs off with Paris — leaving behind her daughter, scared and alone. With Helen gone, Menelaus has no choice but to go to war with Troy to get her back. Because of a pact that was made before Menelaus married Helen, Agamemnon, his son Orestes, Odysses, Menestheus (King of Athens) and Greece’s greatest warrior, Achilles, all unite for war. Not wanting to be left behind again, Hermione travels to Troy with the armies and takes shelter on the beaches. During the 10 years that the war rages on, readers meet many of other characters. There is Hippo-
dameia and Astynome, girls who were kidnapped by Achilles whom Hermione befriends. Orestes, who is Hermione’s cousin, becomes her love. The two plan to marry as soon as the war is finished. What will happen when the war is won and Hermione comes face to face with her mother again? Just being the daughter of Helen of Troy, who brought many men to their death, has been an extraordinary burden for Hermione. The war may be won, but a happy ending is far from accomplished. Armies that were once united under a sworn oath have broken apart with betrayal and murder. Hermione is given to Achille’s son, Pyrrhus, who has shown himself to be an abusive, angry and bitter man. Will Hermione break free from her monster of a husband and reunite with Orestes? What will become of the relationship between her and her mother? Meyer has handled a tricky task in writing this novel, so full of characters mythical and human. The author asks the question: What if? What if Helen and Menelaus had a child before she ran off with Paris? Kirsten Lowe is a local book reviewer and Red Deer College student.
How to survive locking yourself out of your hotel room naked BY RON CHARLES BY ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES If you’ve made it this far, you already know it’s a dangerous world out there. Ebola, terrorism, Twitter trolls — everyday is a battle against threats to your life. Wouldn’t it be great to have a little guidance? Finally, there’s help for your inner action hero: How to Survive Anything (Lonely Planet, $19.99). This helpful book, hilariously illustrated by Rob Dobi, provides a “visual guide to laughing in the face of adversity.” Because you never know where the next threat will come from, “How to Survive Anything” casts a wide net. A very wide net. Here you’ll find everything from “How to survive a nuclear explosion” to “How to survive a trip to the opera.” Robin Barton, a contributor to “How to Survive Anything” and associate publisher of Lonely Planet, acknowledges that in some ways, our lives are very predictable. “We know that there’s a vanishingly small chance of perishing in a nuclear explosion (famous last words!) or beneath a failed parachute,” he says. “But we can be reasonably certain that at some
point in our lives we’re going to have to speak in public, meet our prospective in-laws for the first time or deal with a toddler’s tantrum. So, we focus mainly on our everyday fears — dress-down Fridays, identity theft, getting the middle seat on a long-haul flight — that most people worry about, while also suggesting survival strategies for a few cataclysmically bad days ... just in case.” Those bad days, by the way, include “How to survive a shipwreck” and “How to survive in a minefield.” All tremendously helpful, of course, but what are the odds of being able to consult this guide when, say, my elevator goes into a free fall? “True,” Barton admits. “It’s unlikely, unless you’re in a very poorly maintained, multi-story book store.” The key, he says, is to study Rob Dobi’s illustrations now, before the need arises. His clear, graphical advice can be “recalled in an instant — which is all you’ll have in a free-falling elevator.” Barton insists that each topic in “How to Survive Anything” has been vetted by experts in relevant fields. “This is first-hand advice, shaped by experience.” (This makes me wonder, particularly, about “How to survive a zombie attack.”)
He reminds me that John Locke — the 17th-century Enlightenment philosopher, not the character from “Lost” — said, “The only defense against the world is a thorough knowledge of it.” Your Boy Scout troop leader was right: Be prepared. “Not knowing that shaving cream can slow the spread of toxins from a jellyfish sting is no laughing matter!” Barton says. Indeed.
Finding the softness behind the on-screen evil SOFTER SIDE SHOWN OF TOUGH GUY ACTOR ROBERT RYAN IN NEW BIOGRAPHY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The Lives of Robert Ryan by J.R. Jones Wesleyan University Press Actor Robert Ryan spent a good deal of his life promoting peace, civil rights and other social causes. In his long film career, he did something more daring: He willingly became the face of the very evils he denounced. In Crossfire (1947), Ryan plays a soldier whose hatred of Jews leads to murder. Bad Day at Black Rock (1955) casts him as a man who kills a Japanese farmer as revenge for the attack on Pearl Harbor. In Odds Against Tomorrow (1959), Ryan’s holdup man bridles at the idea of a partner in crime who is black. Ryan garnered critical praise for such roles but not the leading-man status enjoyed by Hollywood’s good guys. “I think he took them because he really believed that he was making a contribution to people’s overall sense of what it was to be a minority or to be discriminated against,” his co-star and friend Harry Belafonte tells The Lives of Robert Ryan author J.R. Jones. Over the course of more than 70 film roles, Ryan played plenty of decent if intense characters, even John the Baptist in King of Kings (1961). However, Jones notes, “no matter how many saints Ryan might play, he would always be more intimately acquainted with the serpents.” Jones provides an engaging biography of a Golden Age movie star who was a welcome presence even
if — and perhaps particularly when — he lit up the screen with a sneer and filled it with menace. His many lives — stage and television performer, political activist, progressive education proponent, husband and father — are finely detailed by Jones with the help of Ryan’s private writings and those of his wife, Jessica, a novelist. Jones describes a complex man who grappled publicly with the world’s demons and privately with his own, among them alcohol and depression. Robert Ryan (1909-1973) grew up in Chicago, the son of an Irish father connected to Democratic machine politics. An only child after his younger brother died of pneumonia at age 5, he was spoiled and smothered by his parents. Their son’s lonely, introverted nature worried them. Long before Ryan discovered the joys of drama, his mother gave him a violin; his father gave him boxing gloves. The gloves proved more valuable. Ryan won heavyweight titles while a student at Dartmouth College and tapped his skills in the ring for his first film, Golden Gloves (1940), as he broke into the movies. He used them again to play a doomed fighter in The SetUp (1949), one of the nifty noirs that mark his career in the 1940s and 1950s. Others worth watching: Act of Violence, On Dangerous Ground and Inferno, plus the noir-like Western The Naked Spur. Ryan was an outspoken liberal and a supporter of Democratic Party candidates even when the blacklist scared many Hollywood actors into silence. (Jones suggests that millionaire Howard Hughes, whose RKO studio had Ryan under contract, protected his star.) He was a longtime opponent of nuclear
Irrationally Yours delivers clever advice for real life conundrums, plus hard laughs BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Irrationally Yours by Dan Ariely (HarperCollins) In his compilation of articles from his Wall Street Journal column, Ask Ariely, Dan Ariely wraps in a clever bow all the questions we’ve ever wanted answered concerning the behavioural intricacies that dictate the decisions we make. He offers extremely practical advice, like babysitting friends’ children for an entire week to better estimate the costs and benefits of having children, in addition to brain-stretching teasers like how to choose the least used bathroom stall (it’s the one furthest from the door). As always, Ariely’s intelligence is swathed in humility and charm. Bolstering his already likable writing style are cartoons by the talented William Haefeli, which help to humorously drive home Ariely’s points. While Irrationally Yours offers some tangible steps on how one can stick to a diet or have a better time vacationing, it also offers something more. For example, in one piece we learn exactly why long commutes are so hard on us (in a word, unpredictability). In another, we learn how to feel better about ourselves in the midst of that traffic (in another word, altruism). On one page he offers concrete solutions, and on another, a different way to think about the
problem in the first place, therefore minimizing our dissatisfaction. Some answers are very insightful, with an added dose of humour. A few land solidly on the witty side and offer little sound advice. However, it’s this mix of academics and laughs that makes the book not only useful, but also enjoyable. Without the drawings and one-off jokey answers, “Irrationally Yours” could prove an information overload for someone seeking real decision-making help. But combine Ariely’s obvious intellect with funny quips and whip-smart cartoons, and you have a read that could lightheartedly change your life. So for those less interested in a detailed write-up of lengthy experiments conducted using the scientific method and more interested in the conclusions those experiments deliver, Ariely’s words will offer high quality rationality with a quick pace. There is even a section providing insight about the best way to recommend a book. Taking a cue from Ariely himself, let’s just say heightened expectations are a safe bet this time.

weapons and the destructive shadow they cast over the world. Closer to home, he ignored the dangers of heavy drinking and smoking. When his career began to slip as he grew older, Ryan regained his footing as a character actor playing hard-nosed military men (1965’s The Battle of the Bulge and 1967’s The Dirty Dozen) and an outsider among outsiders (1966’s The Professionals and 1969’s The Wild Bunch). He could still give a face to what he loathed: The man who wept at the news of President John F. Kennedy’s assassination played a JFK conspirator in Executive Action (1973). “By all accounts,” Jones writes of Ryan, who died of cancer at age 63, “he was a good man, but often he expressed his goodness by playing evil men — with an alarming relish and conviction.”

The finishing touch THREE WAYS TO SPICE UP STYLES FOR PROM AND WEDDING SEASONS BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Finding the right accessories is essential to amp up any ensemble, whether it’s the perfect prom dress or a guest outfit for a wedding. Add-ons can give wearers more opportunities to maximize use of their formal fashions, which may otherwise gather dust after just one wear. Lucia Connor, marketing director at Yorkdale Shopping Centre in Toronto, shares three ways to spice up prom and wedding fashions.
STYLISH SOLES
Seeking out the ideal matching colour or pretty print for shoes will mean little if the soles aren’t suitable for the occasion —and the teen girl or woman putting them on. “An important key consideration, of course, is your heel height,” said Connor. “If you’re going to be standing (for) long periods of time, you may want to go with something that’s a little bit more comfortable and shorter.... If you need a statement shoe that you think you’ll be able to walk out of the car with and then stand around for a few photos, make sure you also have something packed away in your bag that will carry you through for the rest of the evening.” The boho influence is translating to upscale accessories. In addition to fringe on bags, Connor said the feathered wisps of dangling fabric are also being used to enhance shoes, pointing to a powder blue pair of stilettos with a fringe ankle wrap and buckled closure. Pastel shades like pale pink and blush hues, and metallics such as silver and warm copper, bronze and gold finishes rank among the standout shades in formal footwear. Shimmering jewelled accents both atop shoes and even housed within the soles offer eye-catching detail to opentoe pumps and low-heeled strappy san-
dals. For those wanting to jazz up an existing pair of heels, Connor suggested jewelled or bow-shaped accessories that can be fastened to the shoes.
IN THE CLUTCH
Whether your handbag of choice is jewel-toned, swathed in fun fur, or steeped in a vibrant colour “you can really have a lot of fun,” said Connor. “By mixing and matching you can really help to change your look as well,” she added. In addition to finding the ideal style to complement your outfit, finding a practical bag option is also pivotal, she noted. “There’s always great colours when it comes to your handbag, but what’s really important when it comes to deciding on something for prom is to make sure you have enough space for a phone, a charger, cash and ID.” There are plenty of embellished clutches for the season, with designs showcasing sequins, studs, pearls, crystals and bow accents dotting the handheld purses. To merge two statement accessories into one, Connor pointed to one fringe design with a built-in finger ring atop the clutch.
BRING THE BLING
“To really round out your look for prom, make sure you consider jewelled headpieces. They come in a variety of colours, shapes and sizes as well,” Connor said. Styles span from headpieces encrusted in crystals and gems to more spare designs like a hairband with a dainty bow. Connor also pointed to the statement necklace as another stylish showpiece that can help elevate an outfit. She said there are options offering a fresh twist on the accessory, such as a floral-adorned piece that wraps around the back of the neck draping downwards, compared to the more conventional bib styles.

NEW YORK — Fashion students, take heart: Even someone with the natural talent of Marc Jacobs had to pull all-nighters to get through design school. Just before receiving an award Tuesday night from his alma mater, the Parsons School of Design, Jacobs recalled the cloud of giddy exhaustion under which he worked at school, where he’d toil around the clock with fellow student (and now, noted fellow designer) Tracy Reese. “Tracy and I worked all the time on our homework,” he said in an interview. “I mean, we’d work so hard and be so tired — we wouldn’t have any sleep. We’d get so tired that we’d be giddy, we’d just get the giggles.” Jacobs, who for years has been one of fashion’s biggest names, said he never could have imagined the position he would one day occupy. “I always dreamed of being a working fashion designer, but I never knew what proportion it would take,” he said. “And I am still amazed by it. Every new thing we get to do and every change that we make, I just think how fortunate I am. But I wouldn’t say it’s lucky, because I had the opportunity and I prepared for that opportunity. And I pushed myself. And others pushed me.” Jacobs received his award from the acknowledged arbiter of the fashion world, Anna Wintour. The Vogue editor noted in her introduction that in a world that can be filled “with superficiality,” Jacobs’ “feet are always
firmly planted on the ground.” He is one designer who doesn’t take himself too seriously, she said. Accepting his award, Jacobs lived up to that description by explaining that had he not succeeded as a fashion designer, he would have become a video store clerk. That was his only Plan B, and that’s what he told his high school guidance counsellor.

FRIDAY, MAY 22, 2015 PROOF OF SPRING
No need to overreact about simple act of laziness Dear Annie: I’ve been seeing (and sleeping with) “Jordan” for eight months. We met at the gym, and I asked him out because I had an amazing feeling about him. Since then, I’ve become totally infatuated. He is one of the kindest men I’ve ever met. I thought I saw a future for us. But the other day, Jordan casually mentioned that he needed to change my name in his phone. When I asked MITCHELL what he meant, he said he still & SUGAR had me listed as ‘’girl from the gym.” I couldn’t believe it. We’ve been together eight months! I expressed my hurt and told him that such a thing was very cold. He didn’t seem to think it was a big deal. But, Annie, I haven’t been able to get over this detail. I see it as a total lack of respect and proof of my impermanence in his life, and it means I’m definitely not someone important to him. Am I overreacting? I thought he was actually the one. — Phoney Love Dear Love: You are wildly overreacting. This is not an issue of coldness, impermanence or lack of importance. It’s laziness. When Jordan first met you, you asked him out. You became “girl from the gym” so he would remember who you were. As you spent more time together, he grew to care about you, but editing your name in his contact list required a minor effort that he probably kept putting aside since he knew how to reach you. Now the relationship is important, and he wants to look you up with your real name. The fact that he should have done this six months ago is irrelevant. He’s doing it now. If everything else is wonderful, a better response would have been to laugh and recognize that nobody’s perfect. Dear Annie: This is in reference to the letter from “Sad Mom,” who said a boy in her son’s school committed suicide. She said the cause of death was not explained and there had been irresponsible speculation on social media. I have been in the funeral business for five years. Giving information like that is up to the family. It’s their call. What the school wants, what the other parents want or what is happening on social media is not important to them. They are grieving, and what they choose to say is entirely their business. — Funeral Home Manager Dear Funeral: We completely agree that details about the cause of death are only to be shared by family members who wish to do so. It is no one else’s business, and the family should not be burdened by others’ curiosity. But in a school, the students’ concerns and fears should not be ignored as though nothing happened. This means acknowledging that there has been a death, allowing the students to grieve and providing counseling for those who need it. Most schools, fortunately, already have such programs in place, and we hope those that do not yet have one will look into it.

Tree House youth theatre artistic director Matt Gould and wardrobe mistress Gwen McCagg work on set design elements for the what will be Gould’s last production with the theatre company.
‘It’s so hard to say good-bye’ MATT GOULD LEAVING TREE HOUSE THEATRE AFTER 10 YEARS AS ARTISTIC DIRECTOR BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF
Selecting the best scenes and songs from the last decade of Tree House theatre shows was bittersweet for Matt Gould. After 10 years as artistic director, Gould is leaving the youth theatre company after the spring show, 2 For the Road, is presented from May 28 to June 6 at Red Deer’s Scott Block theatre. While he looks forward to redirecting his energies to his work as a visual artist, Red Deer College instructor and local business owner, he finds parting ways with the group to be harder than expected. “I’m both pleased and saddened that it’s so hard to say good-bye,” said Gould. He believes this underscores how important Tree House has been to his life since he took over the top job in 2005. His relationship with the young actors is “the most profound part of the whole experience. ...
“I love the acting and the puttingon-plays part, but the kids really drive it. They’ve always been the driving force,” added Gould, who noted some
scripts that were staged over the years. And foremost scenes from past productions will be spotlighted in 2 For the Road.

pets from Last Known Position, Grimm’s Fairy Tales, Ho Ho, Huh? and other plays will be presented. And favourite show tunes will be performed. “There will be drama, comedy, music, poetry, everything. A nice mix,” said Gould, who’s introducing ‘new’ interlude shorts by Moliere and an anonymous, 16th-century playwright thought to be the first to write for children’s theatre. He describes the season-closing 2 For the Road as being kind of like two different episodes of a Carol Burnettstyle variety show — so Gould hopes people will attend both programs. (Program 1 will be presented at 7:30 p.m. on May 28 and June 4 and at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. on May 30. Program 2 will be staged at 7:30 p.m. on May 29 and June 5 and also at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. on June 6.) “It’s very challenging” for the young actors, who take on a multitude of roles, said Gould.

Stagger digs deep for new album BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF Leeroy Stagger’s new album Dream It All Away is described as a personal road trip. The singer/songwriter has dug deep into his own troubled childhood for some of the inspiration, and hopes his “honest” tunes are meaningful to listeners who are also seeking their own happiness and resolution. Some might disparage these songs as “diary rock,” but Stagger said he’s just writing about what he knows. “This is my tenth record and I feel
I don’t have to hide behind anything. I think I should be able to express myself fully and completely,” said the musician, who performs on Wednesday, May 27, at Fratters Speakeasy in Red Deer. The tunes on Dream It All Away were mostly written after Stagger became a father. Raising his now twoyear-old boy “unexpectedly dredged up childhood s--- that I hadn’t dealt with,” he added. Looking at his son, he believes, was in some ways like looking into a mirror. Stagger was mostly raised by his father and grandmother in Victoria,

B.C. Although he has a good relationship with his mother now, she was out of the picture for most of the first 10 years of his life for reasons he doesn’t want to detail. Suffice to say he’s had to come to terms with abandonment issues. “And there was some abuse and stuff like that, that was pushed back and came to the surface.” Stagger went to counselling to help him fully engage as a father. He believes writing personal songs for this album also helped — although the real test will be in performing them in front of an audience, night after night.
While the lyrics of songs such as Ten Long Years and Angry Young Man are more poetically oblique than transparent, the singer/guitarist hopes “some people will see themselves in the songs and be able to relate ... that’s the goal, anyway.” Stagger’s album, produced in Calgary by Russell Broom (Sam Roberts, Julian Lennon), is racking up good reviews. And the first single, Something Beautiful is getting played by radio stations that hadn’t previously touched his music. “Getting played on modern rock radio is new for me.”

Shapeless story hides familiar tale ALWAYS-COOL GEORGE CLOONEY CAN’T LIFT MEANDERING TOMORROWLAND Tomorrowland Two stars (out of four) Rated: PG BY STEPHANIE MERRY ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES
BRIEF Jazz composer Belden dies in New York NEW YORK — Bob Belden, a jazz musician, composer and producer who was the first American musician to perform in Iran since the 1979 revolution, has died in New York City. He was 58. His sister, Elizabeth Belden Harmstone, said the saxophonist died Wednesday at Lenox Hill Hospital in Manhattan after suffering a heart attack.
STORY FROM PAGE D1
GOULD: Plans to devote himself to textile art show
these years, turns up to bestow a pin on Casey, which also whisks her away, but only for a few minutes — just enough to give her a taste for more. And that’s why she tracks down Frank. She wants him to take her there for a longer stay. Clooney is both amusing and touching in this role. He calls Casey “kid,” speaking the parlance of movie curmudgeons everywhere, and he resists her optimism for as long as he can. He’s just another apocalypse-obsessed conspiracy theorist — albeit an uncharacteristically foxy one — with a dozen locks on his front door. But Casey reminds him of the childlike earnestness he used to have, and nostalgia is a powerful thing. Cassidy is also a commanding presence. With her clear, penetrating eyes, she occupies the precocious kid role without being overbearingly twee: Sure, she says cute things, but she’s also a tiny assassin. The characters are
all quite vivid, even if they sometimes speak in motivational poster quotes. So much of the movie consists of the back story that revealing much more feels wrong. Just know that the action ramps up once we reach the present day. Bad guys materialize (though it’s never entirely clear why), including a hilarious robot played by Matthew MacCaull, whose bright, mechanical smile makes him look like a life-size Ken doll. The camerawork and editing are all impressive, especially in scenes when Casey toggles between Earth and Tomorrowland with the touch of her magical pin. Once she arrives in the futuristic city, the camera swoops and circles around her, adding to the sense of wonder. And a scene much like a high-tech version of the Home Alone finale is also thrilling to watch despite taking place entirely within Frank’s cramped hideout.
The most problematic part of the movie is the way it keeps the story hidden from the audience. Why do we need to get to Tomorrowland? It’s a mystery! And we don’t fully understand the great importance of the journey until the last chapter of the movie, at which point a minor character suddenly becomes a villain. The narrative is messy and meandering, putting more emphasis on emotional payoffs than driving the plot forward. (It also leads to a somewhat problematic minor thread, as Frank acts like a man scorned whenever Athena is around.) Maybe the ultimate goal of Tomorrowland remains obscure because once you know where the story is headed, you realize it’s a familiar tale. The movie can conjure up futuristic images, but the story is nothing we haven’t seen before. Stephanie Merry is a syndicated Washington Post movie critic.
She described him as a “jazz musician true and true” and called him a pioneer who experimented with sound and visuals. Belden often mixed the traditional and avant-garde and turned the music of artist such as Puccini, Prince and Sting into jazz. His 2008 record, Miles From India, combined U.S. and Indian musicians performing Miles Davis tunes. He earned a Grammy for The Black Dahlia, an album based on the 1947 murder case of a young actress.
to include podcasts, news radio and video streaming. The company says it wants to help people create a soundtrack for their day that includes not only music but videos, newscasts and other content. CEO Daniel Ek said that the new service launches Wednesday in the U.S., U.K., Germany and Sweden. Spotify offers free streaming music and also a premium service for a monthly fee that lets users listen to music offline and without advertisements. The extra content, from partners such as Comedy Central, BBC and ESPN, will be available for both free and premium customers. Spotify enters a competitive market for video streaming that is dominated by Netflix, Amazon.com, and Hulu, but it’s getting more crowded of late with the arrival of companies like HBO.
But the company says its main focus will continue to be music, and in that sense it’s likely to stand apart from the services whose primary product is TV and movie streaming. In addition to the extra content, Spotify also redesigned its site, adding the “Now start page” that aims to provide a continuous, personalized soundtrack to users all day and all night. This could be energizing tunes for getting ready in the morning, songs without lyrics for concentrating at work, or dance tracks for late Saturday night. Over time, Spotify will adapt to users’ tastes to play what they like to hear at a certain time of day. While Spotify does not currently ask users for location, in the future it’s likely that it could use this, along with other information, to further personalize users’ music playlists.
pretty adventurous and likes to push my buttons. He tests the limits of my patience ... and I’m not a patient person — you can ask my manager,” he added, with a chuckle. Stagger moved to his wife’s hometown of Lethbridge about nine years ago and is happy to be close to supportive, babysitting in-laws. “We first moved here thinking we could save some money and own our own home, but I’ve come to really like it here. 'This is a great city.”
He’s also heartened by recent political changes in Alberta, with the election of the New Democratic Party government. “If you can bring a bit of humanity back to politics, I think it’s a good thing.” Tickets for his 8:30 p.m. show with special guest Mariel Buckley are $10 from the venue.

Spotify adds video, podcasts, radio NEW YORK — While saying that it is still a music company at heart, Spotify says it is expanding its lineup House. He was happy to recently teach a couple of former Tree House actors in his interdisciplinary contemporary arts class at Red Deer College’s Theatre Studies department. “It’s fun to (see) them again — all grown up!” Besides his RDC class, Gould plans to devote himself to creating another textile art show that profiles women in the community for 2016, and to the Frame-It Shop that he owns with his partner, Keith. A new craft and visual art gallery is being developed as part of the retail business at the downtown Co-op mall. The Tree House board is expected to announce the group’s new artistic director next month. Tickets for 2 For the Road are $15 for one program, or $25 for both, from www.treehouseyouththeatre.ca.

In the alternate dimension of Tomorrowland, people swoop through the sky with jetpacks and parents push babies in hovering strollers. Swimming pools are uncontained blocks of water suspended in the air — a whole group of them, one above another, so that swimmers can dive into one then pop out the bottom and somersault into the next. What’s the purpose of such an invention? Who knows? But it looks dazzling. It’s almost enough to distract from the shapeless story surrounding all the very special effects. Tomorrowland is based on a Disney theme park area, and despite that inauspicious source material, the familyfriendly movie has seemed poised to be one of the most exciting entries in the blockbuster season. For starters, it isn’t a sequel. Trailers haven’t revealed much besides brilliant images and vague but rousing narration from George Clooney. But the director at the helm, Brad Bird, brought us The Incredibles and Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol, and Lost writer Damon Lindelof helped with the script. So it’s regrettable to report that the action adventure is a letdown. The story follows two modern-day scientific geniuses on a quest to get to the vibrant metropolis of Tomorrowland, a secret world filled with big thinkers and grand ideas. But before they can go, they need to tell the audience their back stories, in great detail. Clooney plays Frank Walker, who, we see in flashback, was introduced to that alternate dimension as a kid at the 1964 World’s Fair. There, he met a little girl named Athena (Raffey Cassidy), who gave him a pin that transported him to Tomorrowland. The other genius is a high-schooler named Casey (Britt Robertson) — essentially Pollyanna on a motorcycle. In all of her classes, from English to history to science, she hears nothing but doomsday reports. The ice caps are melting, war is breaking out everywhere and our world is basically a dystopian novel. So she raises her hand to ask: How can we can we fix it all? Anything is possible, she reminds us again and again. And again. And again. Athena, still a little girl after all

Farwell, Dave! LETTERMAN MAKES HIS FINAL BROADCAST IN LATE-NIGHT FOR CBS BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — David Letterman was ushered into retirement Wednesday by four presidents declaring “our long national nightmare is over” and a succession of stars delivering a final Top Ten list of things they always wanted to say to the late-night host. The taped intro of President Barack Obama and former Presidents George Bush, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush referenced President Gerald Ford’s declaration to the country when he took office following the 1974 resignation of Richard Nixon. Letterman sidled up to Obama to say, “you’re just kidding, right?” Ten stars from Steve Martin to Tina Fey delivered the final Top Ten list of “things I’ve always wanted to say to Dave.” Julia Louis-Dreyfus, with Jerry Seinfeld standing nearby, said, “Thanks for letting me take part in another hugely disappointing series finale.” Number One was Bill Murray: “Dave, I’ll never have the money I owe you.” Letterman said goodbye after 33 years and 6,028 broadcasts of his late-night shows on CBS and NBC. The final Late Show broadcast ran long, some 17 minutes over its usual hour, and CBS planned to let the show air without cutting it. The transplanted Hoosier, who made Top Ten lists and ironic humour staples of television comedy and influenced a generation of performers, will be replaced by Stephen Colbert in September. Letterman joked in his monologue that he’s been on the air for so long that the hot show when he started was Keeping Up with the Gabors. He said that Stephen Hawking figured out that the 6,028 broadcasts included “about eight minutes of laughter.” “You want to know what I’m going to do now that I’m retired?” he said. “By God, I hope to become the new face of Scientology.” Letterman, whose wife Regina and son Harry were in the audience, was serenaded at the end by the band Foo Fighters. They sang, Everlong, the same song they played when he returned following heart surgery in February 2000. Several audience members who filed out of the theatre after the show had tears in their eyes. “It was really incredible,” said Will Landman of Long Island, New York. “It was the best way he could go out.” Letterman “was guarded but you could tell it was really hard for him,” said John Bernstein, who flew in from Los Angeles to see the finale. “You could see his emotion,” he said. “But I think he’s feeling a lot more than he’s showing.” His last few weeks have been warmly nostalgic, with Letterman entertaining old friends like Murray, Tom Hanks, George Clooney and Julia Roberts. Anticipating the end, viewers sent Letterman to the top of the late-night ratings the week before last for the first time since Jimmy Fallon took over at NBC’s Tonight show and they competed with original telecasts. From his start on NBC’s Late Night in February 1982, Letterman’s comedy was about more than telling jokes. He attached a camera to a monkey’s back,

David Letterman appears during a final taping of the Late Show with David Letterman on Wednesday in New York. After 33 years in late night television, 6,028 broadcasts, nearly 20,000 total guest appearances, 16 Emmy Awards and more than 4,600 career Top Ten Lists, David Letterman says goodbye to late night television audiences. tossed watermelons off a roof and wore a suit of Alka-Seltzer to plunge into a tank of water. Celebrities used to being fawned over either clicked with his prickly personality or didn’t, and when Cher called him a more profane version of “jerk,” it became a memorable moment. He shifted to CBS in 1993 when NBC gave the Tonight show to Jay Leno instead of Letterman, a slight he never forgot or forgave. Letterman even began his final monologue Wednesday by joking, “It’s beginning to look like I’m not going to get the Tonight’ show.”
The tricks subsided as Letterman mellowed with age and fatherhood. His audience welcomed him back after a heart bypass, listened as he became the first late-night host back on the air after the 2001 terrorist attacks and saw him acknowledge to inappropriately having sex with a subordinate. Rival Jimmy Kimmel paid tribute to Letterman by not making a fresh ABC show on Wednesday, where he usually competes in the same time slot. Fallon opened his Wednesday monologue by saying: “I want to thank you for watching this on your DVR after you watched Letterman.”
Mad Men hides dark lesson in happy endings “What you call love was invented by guys like me, to sell nylons,” Don Draper (Jon Hamm) told department store heiress Rachel Menken (Maggie Siff) all the way back in the premiere episode of Mad Men. “You’re born alone and you die alone and this world just drops a bunch of rules on top of you to make you forget those facts. But I never forget.” Leading up to the series finale of Matthew Weiner’s handsome, uneven period drama about the advertising business, there were a lot of attempts to predict the facts or to analyze themes of the show’s finale, some of which proved prescient. Other attempts simply produced beautiful writing, which is an end in and of itself.

OC, not even to call up the other women at McCann and see if she can join them for a “consciousnesslowering” session at the bar. Of all the ways Joan has made a place for herself, opening up her own shop is certainly the most liberating. But she’s joining the industry that treated her so badly, not beating it. In the same way, Peggy’s cool-cat stroll into the McCann offices is an announcement of a conservative decision, not a radical one: She’ll make a place inside the corporate octopus on her own, Bert Cooper-inspired terms. Peggy’s victory is that it gets to be gals like her who invent love to sell nylons, not guys like Don. I’m happy to cheer her incremental progress, but I’m not going to mistake it for a revolution. If Joan and Peggy’s stories are about the diminishing returns radical movements have outside their vanguards, Pete’s happy ending is literally a story about how a product can change a man’s life.

Walter grew up in Saskatchewan, and after a brief stint on the family farm in Ontario, he relocated back to the Prairies to wed his sweetheart, Joyce in 1955. Walter and Joyce settled in Central Alberta and raised their family in Bowden, Alberta.

Once the snow flew the pair took to curling in the Innisfail Seniors Curling League. Walter and Joyce raised four children, and family was always first in their lives. Walter was extremely proud of his children and his grandchildren who were driving the golf cart as soon as their feet could reach the pedals. Walter leaves to mourn, his children, Dale (Joni) Baker, Elaine (Martin) Baker-Rowe, Karen (Tim) Baker; 4 grandsons; 3 granddaughters; and 3 greatgrandchildren.

HENRY (nee Chisholm) Norma Victoria June 26, 1912 - May 19, 2015 Norma passed away peacefully at Michener Hill Extendicare six weeks shy of celebrating her 103rd birthday. Born in VanLeek Hill, Ontario, Norma and her parents, Bella and Donald and her sister Ola moved to Sedalia - Naco District near Youngstown, Alberta in 1918. They farmed there until 1936 when her dad then purchased a farm in the Antler Hill District near Red Deer. While working as a hairdresser in Edmonton, Norma met and married her soul mate Earnest in 1942. While Ernie was serving his country overseas, Norma plied her trade in Edmonton and Red Deer. Upon Ernie’s return they resided in Waskatenau until moving to Red Deer with their son Butch in 1950. Norma worked at Builders Hardware. In 1966, Ernie’s job took them to Vancouver where they lived until retiring in the Okanagan Valley. During these years Norma and Ernie enjoyed many summers travelling throughout western Canada, playing golf and visiting family and friends with their trailer in tow. Following Ernie`s passing, Norma returned to Red Deer where she stayed until her passing. Norma was an avid sports fan and faithfully followed her beloved Edmonton Oilers and Eskimos, never missing a game. She knew every player and coach and faithfully followed their careers. Norma is survived by her son Butch (Joanne), grandson Noah and his daughter Keja, brother Stan (Bonnie) Chisholm and her nieces and nephews. At Norma`s request, a private family remembrance will be held at a later date. Condolences may be sent or viewed at www.parklandfuneralhome.com Arrangements in care of Rhian Solecki, Funeral Director at PARKLAND FUNERAL HOME AND CREMATORIUM 6287 - 67 A Street (Taylor Drive), Red Deer. 403.340.4040.

This file photo released on Sunday, May 17, 2015, by the Syrian official news agency SANA shows the general view of the ancient Roman city of Palmyra, northeast of Damascus, Syria. Members of the Islamic State group have captured the ancient town raising fears that the extremists will destroy its archaeological sites that have stood for two millennia.
IS extremists overrun ancient site in Syria BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DAMASCUS, Syria — Fears mounted over the fate of one of the Mideast’s most prominent archaeological sites after Islamic State militants overran the historic Syrian town of Palmyra, seizing control Thursday of its temples, tombs and colonnades within hours. The takeover also expanded the extremists’ hold, making them the single group controlling the most territory in Syria. “The Syrian regime appears to be in terminal decline, and the Islamic State group in its timing is capitalizing on recent losses by government forces in the north and south,” said Amr Al-Azm, an antiquities expert and professor at Shawnee State University in Ohio. The militants overran the famed archaeological site early Thursday, just hours after seizing the nearby town in central Syria, activists and officials said. They also captured Palmyra’s airport and the notorious Tadmur prison, delivering a startling new defeat for President Bashar Assad, whose forces quickly retreated. Hundreds of Palmyra residents fled the town of 65,000, and many more were trying to escape, said Talal Barazi, the governor of central Homs province, which includes Palmyra. An oasis set in the Syrian desert, Palmyra is a strategic crossroads linking the capital Damascus and cities to the east and the west. Its capture raised alarm over some of the world’s most important ancient ruins, whose fate remained unknown Thursday, and no photos or video emerged from the militants. “We are in a state of anticipation and fear,” said Maamoun Abdulkarim, the head of the Antiquities and Museum Department in Damascus. “The city is now totally controlled by gunmen and its destiny is dark and dim.”
A UNESCO world heritage site, Palymra boasts 2,000-year-old towering Roman-era colonnades, temples and priceless artifacts that have earned it the affectionate name among Syrians of the “Bride of the Desert.” They are the remnants of an Arab client state of the Roman Empire that briefly rebelled and carved out its own kingdom in the 3rd Century, led by Queen Zenobia, with Palmyra as its capital. Before the war, it was Syria’s top tourist attraction, drawing tens of thousands of visitors each year. It includes a 3,000-seat amphitheatre overlooking a colonnaded main avenue where plays, concerts and youth festivals were staged. With the capture of Palmyra, the Islamic State militants now control half of Syria and most of the country’s oil wells, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, making it the group with the most territory under its authority among the myriad factions fighting in the country’s civil war. Its vast terrain inside Syria stretches from the group’s westernmost strongholds in Aleppo province to its core territory in northeastern Syria down to central Syria, with footholds in Damascus. Palmyra’s location in Syria’s heartland offers the militants several important advantages, said Faysal Itani, a resident fellow at the Atlantic Council. The town can now be used as a launching pad to threaten government positions and supply lines south of Aleppo and east of Homs and Hama, and open up a new approach to Damascus, seat of Assad’s power. IS can also threaten regime supply lines to the eastern city of Deir elZour, where government forces are still holding out against the militants. “If IS manages to cut off Deir elZour, it is likely that the city would fall, essentially ending regime presence in that province, and consolidating IS’ core territory,” he said.
Premier urges Ireland to vote for gay marriage BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DUBLIN — Prime Minister Enda Kenny is urging Ireland’s voters to support the legalization of gay marriage in a referendum that pits the power of the Catholic Church against his secular-minded government. Speaking on the eve of Friday’s nationwide vote, Kenny said Ireland could “create history” by becoming the first nation to cast a popular vote for gay marriage. Kenny said voters’ approval of a constitutional amendment to legalize gay marriage would represent an Irish civil rights breakthrough “that for generations gay people could never imagine.” “The ’yes’ will obliterate, publicly, the remaining barriers of prejudice or the irrational fear of the ’them’ and ’us’ in this regard,” said Kenny, a devout Catholic who nonetheless during his four years in power has pushed to reduce the church’s influence on policy and state services. Eight opinion polls taken since the campaign opened in March suggest that the “yes” campaign should
win. Kenny’s government is holding a referendum because it’s considered legally necessary to add an explicit amendment to the country’s 1937 constitution before lawmakers can pass the relevant legislation. All political parties and most lawmakers are on the “yes” side. That lopsided reality, common in Irish referendums, has rebounded in previous contests when some voters, confused by the issue at hand or alienated from the political establishment, voted “no” in protest. A lone anti-gay protester, Hilary Fagan, held aloft a placard Thursday by the roadside as morning rush-hour traffic flowed past Dublin’s financial district. Her sign said “Two Men Can’t Replace A Mother’s Love, Vote No.” Fagan, 63, said she was determined to “defend traditional marriage as it was outlined by our very wise forefathers.” Catholic leaders and conservative pressure groups are arguing that legalization could produce surprising repercussions in Irish courts that could undermine traditional marriages.

MALAYSIA ORDERS SEA SEARCH FOR ROHINGYA MIGRANTS, UNITED STATES PREPARING AIR PATROLS BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BRIEF Ukraine’s parliament tears up military deal with Russia KIEV, Ukraine — Ukraine’s parliament on Thursday voted to suspend military cooperation with Russia in a long-anticipated move signalling a further break in relations between the once-close partners. Kyiv also produced what it claimed was fresh confirmation of involvement by Russian intelligence in sowing unrest in breakaway eastern regions, saying it is evidence of continued Russian plans to destabilize Ukraine. The five co-operation agreements scrapped by the Verkhovna Rada include one giving the Russian military transit rights to reach Moldova, whose territory is partly controlled by a Moscowsupported separatist government. Relations between Russia and Ukraine plummeted after the overthrow in February 2014 of Moscow-friendly Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych. Russia subsequently annexed Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula. Kyiv also accuses Moscow of arming and staffing separatist insurgencies in eastern Ukraine.

The U.N. says the Rohingya are one of the most persecuted groups in the world. Neither Myanmar nor Bangladesh recognizes them as citizens. Over the past few years, Rohingya have faced increasing state-sanctioned discrimination in Myanmar. They have been targeted by violent mobs of Buddhist extremists and confined to camps. At least 120,000 have fled to sea, and an unknown number have died along the way. Since the crisis stated unfolding three weeks ago, around 3,000 migrants have washed to shore. The U.N. refugee agency estimates more than 3,000 others may still be at sea. After pushing back several vessels, Indonesia and Malaysia announced Wednesday they would offer temporary shelter to incoming migrants if the international community helps resettle them within a year. They said it was a global, not regional, problem. The United States responded quickly, saying it a constitutional reform that she hopes will help renew faith in the country’s political class. Officers halted marchers several blocks from the Congress building in the port city of Valparaiso, about 66 miles (106 kilometres) northwest of Santiago. Most of the several thousand people demonstrated peacefully, but some masked protesters set barricades ablaze in the street and some vandalized nearby businesses.
was prepared to take a leading role in any multicountry effort organized by the U.N. refugee agency to resettle the most vulnerable refugees. The tiny African country of Gambia has also said it is willing to take in Rohingya refugees. “As human beings, more so fellow Muslims, it is (our) sacred duty to help,” the nation’s presidency said in a statement. U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, visiting Southeast Asia, met Thursday with Myanmar’s president, army commander in chief and other officials, raising “deep concern about the thousands of vulnerable migrants stranded at sea,” State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said. “He stressed the need for Burma to address the root causes of this migration, including the racially and religiously motivated discrimination and violence facing the Rohingya population in Rakhine State,” Harf said, referring to the former name for Myanmar.

ing for their first stateordered conservation in decades, as a record drought prompts some of the deepest cuts yet in the country’s most productive agricultural state. After telling cities and towns to slash water use by 25 per cent and cutting deliveries to some farmers and others, state officials said Wednesday that they would start mandatory cuts this week to the state’s oldest rights holders, who are historically spared from water restrictions. Regulators said the first orders Friday will affect those holding century-old water rights in the watershed of the San Joaquin River, which runs from the Sierra Nevada mountains to San Francisco Bay and is one of the main water sources for farms and communities. Meanwhile, a second category of senior rights holders are making a surprise effort to stave off those kinds of cuts. Farmers who hold longstanding claims to water because their land lies along the waterways of the Sacramento-San Joaquin river delta offered to voluntarily reduce their water use by a quarter. Officials promised a decision Friday on that offer, which would yield on some of the most iron-clad water rights in California, as they try to chart a path forward for a state locked in its driest four-year period on record.

Ethnic rohingya women eat candy at a temporary shelter in Lhoksukon, Aceh province, Indonesia, Thursday. In the past three weeks some thousands of people, mainly Rohingya Muslims fleeing persecution in Myanmar and Bangladeshis trying to escape poverty, have landed in overcrowded boats on the shores of Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand. After initially pushing many boats back, Malaysia and Indonesia announced on Wednesday that they will offer temporary shelter to incoming migrants.

YANGON, Myanmar — Four Malaysian navy ships began searching the seas for stranded boat people Thursday in the first official rescue operation since desperate migrants started washing onto Southeast Asia’s shores, and the U.S. military gave the first indication it was ready to take a direct role in helping address the crisis. Thousands of Rohingya Muslims from Myanmar and Bangladeshis are believed to be trapped on boats with little food or water — some after being pushed back by the navies of at least three countries — and the international community has warned that time to save them is running out. The announcement Thursday by Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak was the latest in a series of breakthroughs, including an offer by his country and Indonesia to provide temporary shelter to the desperate men, women and children until a more permanent solution is found. He said he had ordered his navy and coast guard to conduct search-and-rescue efforts for other boats. “We have to prevent loss of life,” he tweeted. Navy chief Abdul Aziz Jaafar said four vessels had been deployed, and three helicopters and three other ships were on standby. The United States has been urging governments in the region to co-operate on search and rescue operations and sheltering thousands of vulnerable migrants. Pentagon spokesman Lt. Col. Jeffrey Pool told The Associated Press Thursday that the Defence Department “is responding to this crisis and taking this seriously. We are preparing to stand up maritime aviation patrols throughout the region and working with local partners to help with this issue.” He provided no further details. Meanwhile, Myanmar, which earlier hinted it would skip a regional meeting in Thailand next week bringing together representatives of more than a dozen nations to address the crisis, changed course Thursday, saying it would attend. About half the migrants on the boats are Rohingya Muslims who are fleeing persecution and violence in predominantly Buddhist Myanmar. “We are ready to co-operate with other governments to resolve the ongoing problems through constructive engagement and on humanitarian grounds,” said Zaw Htay, director of the president’s office. The decision was made after an invitation letter arrived, he said, noting it did not imply Myanmar was solely responsible for the crisis or use the word Rohingya, a term that is not recognized by his government. Myanmar officials refer to members of the religious minority as “Bengalis,” implying they are illegal migrants from Bangladesh, even though many have lived in the country for generations.
