Room to breathe SCHOOL BOARDS PLEASED THAT EDUCATION FUNDING RESTORED

BY MARY-ANN BARR RED DEER ADVOCATE Millions of dollars more will flow to Central Alberta school boards following the announcement by Premier Rachel Notley on Thursday to restore education funding for the 2015-16 school year.

The previous Progressive Conservative govern-

ment told school boards in its March budget that boards needed to reduce non-teaching costs. It also said boards couldn’t cut teaching jobs or use reserves, and that there would be no new funding for 12,000 new students expected in the next school year.

Those 12,000 students will now be funded. And the newly-elected NDP government said it will restore funding to non-teaching resources such as transportation grants, teacher aides and inclusive education.

And restrictions on school boards using reserves in the next school year budget have been removed.

The two per cent funding increase to cover salary increases and a one per cent lump sum payment negotiated previously will be maintained, and an additional $103 million for the next school year will be provided by the new government.

WALKING WITH OUR SISTERS

OWNER CONVICTED OF EIGHT CHARGES

BY ADVOCATE STAFF Three dogs have been ordered euthanized after a Rocky Mountain House judge convicted the dogs’ owner of eight charges laid following vicious dog attacks on a community trail.

In Rocky Mountain House provincial court on Wednesday, dog owner Brandi Reeves of Rocky Mountain House pleaded guilty to her role in an April 27 incident in which two dogs were attacked by the dogs owned by Reeves.

Jenna Ellefson was walking her five-year-old Belgian shepherd Dakota when it was attacked by the three dogs.

With the help of three high school students and two men passing by, they managed to repel the dogs’ initial assault and chase off the three roving dogs.

One of the dogs returned and tried again to attack Dakota.

Further on down the trail, Theresa Kokesch was walking Shelly, a six-year-old golden Labrador, when the three dogs began attacking it.

Kokesch managed to repel the attack, but Shelly was badly hurt.

Both Shelly and Dakota needed extensive veterinary care.

Corky Larsen-Jonasson, right, and other volunteers work to set up the Walking With Our Sisters exhibit at the Red Deer Museum and Art Gallery on Thursday. The memorial to honour missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls from across Canada opens to the public on Monday June 1st at the museum located at 4525-47A Avenue. The exhibit will be on display until June 21st, National Aboriginal Day.

Lawyers relieved young offenders centre will stay open Keeping the Calgary Young Offenders Centre open is welcome news for Central Alberta lawyers, who were concerned about the planned closure’s impact on the rehabilitation of youths charged with crimes.

Local defence lawyers are relieved by the decision. Jason Snider, president of the Red Deer criminal defence lawyers association, said the proposed closure was an egregious example of centralization.

“The centralization of services that should stay local is a continuing concern to the justice community as a whole,” said Snider.

“There were some financial reasons why the CYOC was targeted for closure, but there were other societal reasons it should stay open. Particularly with

regard to the Youth Criminal Justice Act that has an emphasis on rehabilitation and reintegration to the community.”

On Thursday, a press release from Alberta Justice said the move will ensure young offenders have access to necessary rehabilitative and custody services, while remaining close to their families.

“Taking youth from a locale and transporting them hours away from their supports has a very detrimental effect on their rehabilitation,” said Snider.

“We saw the same thing in Red Deer when they closed the youth wing at the Red Deer Remand Centre ... you lose that immediacy and the ability for the family to be involved in the youth’s rehabilitation while they are in custody.”

The youth wing of the Red Deer Remand Centre closed in 2004. Youths who are held in custody after they are arrested in Central Alberta are sent to either the Edmonton or Calgary young offenders

centres.

“The CYOC closure made no sense from actually preventing them from becoming criminals in the long term,” said Snider.

“It is very welcome news and a positive sign that perhaps the government is taking a more humanistic and rehabilitative approach to justice rather than just a dollars and cents view.”

Premier Rachel Notley announced on Thursday the CYOC would remain open. The previous Progressive Conservative government had announced plans to close the CYOC in March.

After the New Democratic Party was elected on May 5, Alberta Justice announced the closure was put on hold pending a review to be completed by May 31.

It will remain open at an estimated cost of $3 million a year. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com

BRIEFS RCMP investigating armed robbery in Clearview Red Deer City RCMP are investigating a gunpoint robbery of a man as he walked in a city residential area.

Shortly before midnight on May 23, a 26-year-old Red Deer man was walking in Clearview North on Carleton Avenue. A man approached him from behind, demanded money and pointed a firearm at

EDUCATION: Reserves also an option Notley made the announcement in Calgary with the Education Minister David Eggen.

For the Red Deer Public School District, this will see the 2014-15 provincial operating funding of $94.7 million go to $98.9 million next school year, or an additional $4.2 million (a 4.5 per cent increase).

The Red Deer Catholic Regional Division will see funding increase by $3 million, from $78.6 million to $81.6 million (up 3.9 per cent).

Chinook’s Edge School Division will receive a 3.1 per cent increase in operating funding, with this year’s funding of $102.4 million increasing to $105.7 million next year.

Wolf Creek School Division will see a 2.9 per cent increase, going from $70.2 million to $72.3 million.

Wild Rose School Division will see a 2.6 per cent increase, from $51.5 million to $52.8 million (2.6 per cent increase).

Clearview School Division will go from $26.9 million to $27.5 million (1.9 per cent).

St. Thomas Aquinas Roman Catholic Separate Regional Division will see a 4.7 per cent increase, from $31 million to $32.5 million.

Bev Manning, chairperson of the Red Deer Public school board, said they will still need to move forward cautiously.

“It doesn’t mean that all is well with the world

but it certainly does mean that we’ve been restored a little bit and we’re feeling a little bit more hopeful about how we’re going to accommodate the growth at least that we’re expecting in the fall.

“And to be able to breathe a little bit. I was feeling pretty stressed there for a little while.”

She was appreciative that the new government has recognized local board autonomy. If they have to draw on reserves, the local board is in the best position to make that decision, she said.

School board budgets were originally to be in to the province by the end of this month. However, that deadline was recently extended to June 30.

Manning said they expect 75 to 100 new students in the fall, although the final number won’t be known until Sept. 15.

She said the district’s budget isn’t finalized, but they don’t expect to go back now and make a lot of changes. They had anticipated that the NDP would come through on their campaign promises.

“We’ll perhaps hold that new money centrally and be able to address hot spots throughout the district as they occur.”

It’s good news from the government but it’s not going to create a lot of money for the district, and they still need to move ahead cautiously because it is a time of financial restraint, and “we understand that,” Manning said.

Guy Pelletier, chairman of Red Deer Catholic schools, said they were feeling positive and very pleased with the funding announcement.

The announcement will make their budget decisions in the next month much easier, he said.

The Catholic board had several budget options in the works, depending on what the new government decided.

Pelletier said they will be looking at putting items

The district expects 300 to 400 new students next year. They’ve seen student population grow by four to six per cent each year, he said.

As recently as Tuesday, the Catholic board had a discussion about next school year’s budget and had directed administration to draft a budget based on the expectation that they would be able to use reserves, but not with the idea that the three per cent reduction in non-teaching would be restored.

It does allow the board to go ahead and make their plans for staffing and classrooms sizes in the fall, Pelletier said. barr@reddeeradvocate.com

him. The suspect took the victim’s cash and ran south toward the Michael O’Brien wetland.

RCMP and dog services followed the suspect’s trail to the Michener Centre area before losing it.

Police also received a number of reports that the suspect was seen running from yard to yard in the Carter Close area.

The suspect is described as Caucasian, in his early 20s, about 1.82 metres (six foot or six foot one), skinny, having very defined cheek bones and no facial hair. He was wearing a dark-coloured, flat-brimmed hat, a dark-coloured hoodie and blue jeans.

A second Kentwood-area dog has died in a suspected intentional strychnine poisoning.

Lana Keating, owner and veterinarian at Parkland Veterinary Hospital, suspects that the deadly toxin strychnine killed the two dogs.

“I would be very worried in Red Deer if my dog was in the backyard,” said Keating. “They should be watched even in their backyards.”

Kentwood resident Meghan Elgert’s Maltese-Yorkie died after eating what may have been chicken laced with strychnine on May 23. Her other dog, a Labrador-shepherd cross, was also sick but survived the poisoning.

Another Kentwood dog died on Tuesday.

Keating said her hospital has treated all three dogs. They showed symptoms such as rapid seizures that are consistent with strychnine poisoning.

“We haven’t proven it is poison but they are all very circumstantial that they have the same signs,” said Keating. “Unfortunately, it’s a very, deadly, deadly poison.”

Keating said it is very unfortunate that dogs are not even safe in their own backyards.

The toxin is typically used to kill gophers and other rodents.

“It is devastating,” said Keating. “This is a high dose of a toxin substance. It is not something that makes them sick for a while. This is a lethal dose.”

Keating said it is unusual to see strychnine poisoning in an urban setting and that leads her to believe it was intentional.

Cedarwood Veterinary Hospital has sent a sample of the first dog’s stomach contents to a lab. The results are expected in about a week.

Keating said the poison works quickly, in 10 to 60 minutes, and produces rapid seizures and death. She said the smaller the dog, the less the dog needs to consume for the poison to work.

Creationist finds fossils while digging basement

Document shredding at legislature may have been justified: Notley

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — Alberta Premier Rachel Notley says the public shouldn’t rush to judge allegations that documents have been illegally shredded since the Progressive Conservatives were defeated earlier this month.

The privacy commissioner and Alberta’s public interest commissioner are both investigating.

Opposition parties were demanding action after bags and bags of shredded documents were seen being hauled away from the legislature after the PCs lost their 44-year hold on power in the May 5 election.

Notley, who ordered that the shredding stop and requested an investigation, said Thursday it’s too soon to

draw any conclusions.

She said in many cases the shredding of confidential documents is acceptable and in some cases it is illegal not to destroy material.

She is waiting for a final report from the privacy commissioner, she said. “It’s important to understand that there are a lot of circumstances in which shredding is entirely appropriate and, in fact, failing to shred, in and of itself, can breach the legislation. “Shredding those documents is the right thing to do, assuming the original document remains online, in the computer or somewhere,� she said. “We need to understand that the existence of a bag of shredded documents does not mean that’s the end of the document as we know it.�

There for bikers too.

POISON: Difficult to reverse the damage She said it is very difficult to reverse the damage. “I am fairly alarmed,� said Keating. “People should be walking their dogs on a leash and do not leave them in the backyard. All of these cases could have been in the backyard.�

In the last five days, Red Deer RCMP have received two complaints of dogs being poisoned in the Kentwood neighbourhood. The first complaint came in on May 22 when a resident

reported that her two dogs had become ill and were believed to have been poisoned. RCMP verified that the symptoms the dogs suffered were consistent with poisoning.

On Tuesday, RCMP received a second report where a resident of Kentwood suspected his dog had been poisoned, resulting in its death.

Police have no suspects or leads.

Pet owners concerned about an animal’s health should contact their veterinarian.

If you have any information about the two dog deaths, call Red Deer RCMP at 403-343-5575. To remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477 or report it online at www. tipsubmit.com. crhyno@reddeeradvocate.com

Lightning storms sparked another six fires in the West Country on Wednesday.

Thirteen fires have been reported in 24 hours in the Rocky Wildfire Management Zone, which extends from Drayton Valley to Sundre and west to Banff and Jasper National Park boundaries.

All of the fires are being held or are under control, says Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development.

A provincewide fire ban remains in effect and is unlikely to be lifted for the weekend.

CALGARY â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Edgar Nernberg sees the irony of believing the Earth is roughly 6,000 years old, while being the one to discover rare fossils of fish that scientists estimate lived 60 million years ago.

Nernberg sits on the board of the Big Valley Creationist Museum southeast of Red Deer. He helped establish the museum in 2008, but also works as a heavy equipment operator in Calgary.

The 64-year-old was excavating a basement in March when he caught sight of something special in the bucket of his trackhoe: black outlines of five fish in a block of sandstone.

He contacted a paleontologist and assistant professor at the University of Calgary, Darla Zelenitsky, who assessed the full fossils of a primitive bony, type of fish as an extraordinary find.

She has calculated the fish lived shortly after an asteroid killed off the dinosaurs and many other species,

leaving surviving animals and plants to diversify.

Nernberg thinks the fish were most likely to have been alive shortly before the Great Flood in the Bible, about 4,300 years ago.

He and Zelenitsky have politely debated their timelines. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We agree to disagree,â&#x20AC;? Nernberg said Thursday after a news conference alongside Zelenitsky to show off the fossils. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re quite amicable and really almost friends.â&#x20AC;?

Nernberg said he was taught evolution in school, but later came to reject it. He built a miniature replica of Noahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ark for the creationist museum.

He believes humans existed at the same time as the dinosaurs, then the Great Flood wiped out almost everything. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were dinosaurs that survived the flood, of course, but there may still be some around. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know that for sure.â&#x20AC;?

Nernberg said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not been persuaded by Zelenitsky and other scientists.

Another Blackfalds youth has admitted to three armed robberies in the town north of Red Deer earlier this year.

And a second youth from the town who pleaded guilty to eight robberies has had his bail revoked after an alleged series of breaches.

The boys canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be named because of provisions in the Canada Youth Justice Act. The first youth, a 16-year-old, pleaded guilty to three charges of robbery with an imitation firearm in Red Deer youth court on Thursday before Hudge Gordon Deck.

Represented by defence counsel Michael Scrase, the youth admitted his guilt to three charges for two separate incidents in January and February of this year.

Prosecutor Carolyn Ayre did not read the facts of the incidents into the record.

Scrase requested a pre-sentence report to provide some guidance prior to sentencing. Sentencing is scheduled for Aug. 27 in Red Deer youth court.

Accused in connection with the 16-year-old, a 17-year-old had entered guilty pleas to eight robberies on April 30 and is scheduled for sentencing on July 30.

The 17-year-old admitted to robberies of the Pony Express Liquor Store, the 2A Liquor Store and a Fas Gas in Blackfalds; the Glendale Express 24, Corral Foods and Highland Green Express 24 in Red Deer and an IDA Pharmacy.

He was released on strict bail conditions on April 30 while awaiting his sentencing. Those conditions included a 24-hour house arrest order. A presentence report was ordered prior to his July 30 sentencing in Red Deer youth court.

On Thursday, he was in youth court charged with new breaches of his bail conditions. His counsel Walter Kubanek told Deck that it would likely be difficult to argue the conditions. Ayre sought to have his bail revoked and have him remanded into custody.

Two other youths face charges relating to these offences: one 17-year-old pleaded not guilty and has a trial set for Oct. 27 and another 17-year-old will make an appearance next on June 4 in Red Deer youth court.

A fifth youth had related charges against him withdrawn by the Crown.

FRIDAY, MAY 29, 2015

A bumpy road ahead A fixed election date provides party strategists a road map to determine when best to slot in announcements, make appointments and unveil policies for political advantage.

You can plot, you can strategize and you can prognosticate. But it is always the events beyond tactical control that carry the most TIM peril.

HARPER In 2015, as always, that danger is greatest for the sitting government and a spring and summer of damage control appears to be at hand.

First up for the Conservatives is a much-anticipated and damaging audit of Senate spending from auditor general Michael Ferguson, to be tabled as early as next week.

A $21-million audit could see as many as 10 more sitting senators under police investigation, bringing the total of those charged or under investigation to 14.

An untold number of sitting and retired senators — up to 40 according to one report — have been told their expenses are suspect and will be expected to repay money.

New Senate Speaker Leo Housakos announced this week that former Supreme Court justice Ian Binnie will arbitrate any cases in which senators feel they have grounds to appeal.

Smart senators would pay what is owed and move on because for all the talk of transparency, accountability and “watershed moments,” this is bound to heap more dirt on an institution sinking in a mudslide of discredit.

Appointing a former justice to sit in judgment of the auditor general will not benefit Prime Minister Stephen Harper. It is an affront to the auditor general and will likely just draw out the process even further.

Harper has — again — the most to lose with another frenzy of Senate spending fever.

He has appointed more senators than any other Canadian prime minister (59). If re-elected, he must fill 20 vacancies whether he likes it or not, and his party holds the majority in the chamber.

INSIGHT

Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau took pre-emptive action in booting Liberal senators from the party caucus. He has never appointed a senator and he has proposed a new mechanism for appointments to the upper chamber.

He will avoid a direct hit to his credibility, but he leads a party that has also larded the Senate with bagmen and sycophants just as Harper has done. Trudeau can hardly turn this into a plus.

NDP Leader Tom Mulcair also no longer gets a free ride, even though Senate malfeasance is a recurring Christmas morning for the orange team. But if Mulcair deserves to be viewed as a prime minister in waiting, he needs to move beyond the party’s abolition position.

How, exactly, would he abolish the Senate? And, if he can’t, would he as prime minister appoint senators?

While awaiting the Ferguson audit, the trial of Mike Duffy returns next week after a three-week hiatus.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

NDP must deal with power rate mess On election day, May 5, Rachel Notley and the NDP electrified the province as they swept into political power. Many self-proclaimed political pundits prognosticated, lamented and/or celebrated depending on their particular bias.

On the following morning after the election, coffee shops across Alberta buzzed with rational and irrational conversations. Suddenly politics in Alberta became interesting.

Among other things that happened on May 5, the price of electricity in Alberta averaged just over $15 a megawatt. The average peak price was just over $18 a megawatt. This fact in of itself is not news. However, by May 20, some 15 days later, the average peak price of electricity in Alberta had skyrocketed to $352 a megawatt. The nearly 2,000 per cent increase in Alberta’s average electricity prices went mostly unnoticed by the pundits, but its impact on the businesses exposed to these wild price fluctuations was a rude reminder of the legacy of four former Progressive Conservative governments.

It’s been 20 years since the policy to deregulate electricity was introduced in Alberta. Reflecting on this policy, former Alberta Power senior vicepresident Keith Provost estimates that deregulation may have cost Albertans as much as $32 billion. In that short amount of time, successive PC governments have had to implement emergency short-term measures to mitigate price spikes. Former premier Alison Redford implemented the most recent emergency measures when she froze ancillary costs (extra charges on utility bills) before heading into the 2012 election. Coincidently her government raised ancillary costs retroactively after the election.

The NDP have a monumental task in front of them if they want to be successful at governing this province. Of all the priorities they need to confront (education, health care, seniors, etc.) none will have more of an impact on the province’s immediate economic well-being than addressing the massive electricity deregulation debacle.

A stable reliable source of efficient low-cost electricity is paramount to both economic diversity and stability — not to mention consumers would be

The trial is moving at a glacial pace and the real drama and the key players have not yet arrived. But testimony concerning a report allegedly doctored to help Duffy, the efforts in Harper’s office to make the problem go away and the infamous $90,000 cheque from Harper’s former chief of staff Nigel Wright to Duffy loom.

That much of this will unfold while the Commons is not sitting is of little solace to Harper if, in fact, this trial bleeds into the election (and leaders debate) period.

There is a third danger looming for Harper and his Conservatives.

There is growing evidence that the airstrikes against the Islamic State in which Canada is participating are not working. Some are pointing to an abundance of caution in ensuring civilians are not hit. Others cite the difficulty in obtaining reliable intelligence in Syria.

Defence Minister Jason Kenney joined with allies this week in taking

pleased, too.

If there has been one constant in Alberta’s experiment to deregulate electricity, it is that it hasn’t worked very well!

While the NDP contemplates how to address this complex issue, they can implement a couple of emergency short-term measures of their own: ● Freeze (prevent) the sale of all Rural Electric Association Utilities until this government has time to construct a policy on such matters. ● Remove the cap that prevents the regulated rate option from purchasing energy out to two years.

There are other short-term measures available to buy some time until a permanent solution can be constructed, but the most important thing for Alberta is that we once and for all, design a permanent solution to resolve this problem.

Joe Anglin Rimbey

We should be a nation of peacekeepers Canadians miss peacekeeping and being seen as peacekeepers. Our government seems to enjoy wars and thinks of Canadians as being warriors. They cite the mantra of security against terrorism but is it at all possible that we are at higher risk of being bit, now, because we are teasing the animal more?

Defence Minister Jason Kenney and CTV’s Robert Fife discussed on the show Question Period the very real issue of Iraqi fighters, when confronting ISIS near Ramadi, throwing down their weapons and fleeing. By supplying weapons to Iraqi soldiers, are we not also arming ISIS, then?

It was once stated that ISIS was in realty a U.S.created entity because of their tendency to support and arm different factions at different times. When they turn against their former allies, do they request their arms back? This tendency to support the enemies of our enemies, regardless of past deeds and violations, means that each faction becomes more dangerous and armed with more and better armaments. Enemies become allies and allies become enemies frequently.

Recent reports of ISIS successes in Iraq show that the current program is not working and a new approach will be necessary. Will Canada respond to losing ground in Iran, by increasing tactics of dropping more bombs, withdrawing support or will we

the unusual step of openly criticizing Iraqi fighters who turned and fled when IS invaded Ramadi.

The Canadian contribution may be modest, but Harper has made it highly symbolic, a key part of his security platform.

If it becomes clear that bombing missions are not halting the advance of IS, Conservatives will be under increased pressure to step up operations or put boots on the ground. Neither is likely, but such pressure will only reinforce the perception that this could become a highly expensive, yet largely futile effort.

Harper will have to explain how this mission over Syria is doing anything to keep this country safe. He may ultimately be on the campaign trail explaining how IS advances in the face of allied action have become anything but a recruiting tool for IS.

send in foot soldiers? Should Canada continue to offer limited but increasingly expensive support, making more enemies every day or should we change focus all together.

Humanitarian aid, for the civilians displaced by war, civil or international, would be one way for Canada to be seen as a world player. Food, water, shelter, warm clothing and medical aid for a child would reduce the anger of citizens involved or affected by war.

Killing of innocents is more than collateral damage and cannot be forgotten easily.

Civil, territorial, religious, class and racial wars have been occurring for hundreds possibly thousands of years and I have trouble thinking of which ones were won with western intervention. There are battles that we helped end, but are we putting civilians at risk, unnecessarily and inappropriately, both at home and abroad.

Were we as Canadians petitioned for our views on these wars and how we wish to help? Did we want to concentrate our efforts on humanitarian aid, like the Red Cross, or did we want to make our friends’ recent enemies our enemies? We may become friends with the government of a former enemy but the families of the victims, which we were partially responsible, will not likely be our friends.

I would rather help the family of an alleged criminal than punish them. I am sure there are many who also feel this way.

We have all seen mob-mentality at work. The fighting, riots, looting and mayhem occurred because a hockey team lost the Stanley Cup. Can you imagine what would happen in these Canadian communities if their church, hospital or schools are lost? We have seen hysteria, even deaths in a soccer game, because of a goal or a bad call. Mob mentality, once it sets in, watch out.

Should Canadians help the civilians, families, children and the innocents and give them fewer reasons to join the fights? Can we prevent or alleviate mob mentality? Do we feel good when an enemy is killed, along with unknown collateral damage? How many Canadian charities are collecting guns and bullets to send to Third World nations?

Would I feel better supporting peacekeeping?

Yes, I would.

A5 Gunman urged more attacks

FRIDAY, MAY 29, 2015

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — As calmly as Michael Zehaf Bibeau laid out the reasons for his fateful attack on Parliament Hill last October, he exhorted others to carry out similar attacks, say sources familiar with the unreleased portion of his final video manifesto.

The missing video segments also include Zehaf Bibeau mentioning a number of Middle Eastern names, none of which appear to be linked to the Oct. 22 shooting rampage, The Canadian Press has learned.

The details come from two sources who spoke to CP about the video, speaking on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to discuss the contents of the portions that have yet to be Michael Zehaf Bibeau made public.

They say during the missing 18 seconds, the 32-year-old Zehaf Bibeau calls on others to carry out attacks against countries such as Canada.

The sources say those named in the video do not appear to have played a role in Zehaf Bibeau’s attack, but rather have general Arabic-sounding names. It’s not clear if investigators have been able to identify them.

Zehaf Bibeau recorded the video in his car moments before the deadly rampage, which claimed the life of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo and ended his own in a hail of gunfire inside Centre Block.

RCMP commissioner Bob Paulson has said investigators had “sound operational” reasons for keeping the 18-second portion of the video secret when the other 55 seconds were released nearly three months ago.

The redacted portions included 13 seconds at the start of the video and five seconds at the end. The sources did not specify which portions contained what information.

As to why the RCMP withheld part of the video,

PARLIAMENT HILL SECURITY OTTAWA — It was House of Commons security personnel who wounded and ultimately killed Michael Zehaf Bibeau, the gunman who ran past the Mounties and into the Parliamentary Buildings last October.

But now, the historic security force is seeing its command of Parliament Hill’s interior removed and placed in the hands of the RCMP — a move the head of its union says they are taking personally.

“There was recognition by the Speaker of the House; we were recognized in the House,” Roch Lapensee said Thursday after appearing at a Commons committee studying the change.

“All that is nice, but at the end of the day, we’re being pushed aside and told that in the future, someone else is going to make the decisions for you.”

The bigger issue for Lapensee, however, is whether the changes will actually make the Hill any safer.

Several investigations are underway into how the RCMP wanted to ensure there were no hidden messages contained in it, the sources said. Investigators pored over every frame of the video, which was found on Zehaf Bibeau’s cellphone inside the unlocked car he drove to Parliament Hill.

In the portion of the video Canadians have already seen, Zehaf Bibeau stares calmly into the camera. He talks in an even tone, his eyes darting around, as he sits in his car in a parking lot steps away from Ottawa police headquarters.

He says the actions he’s taking are a response to Canada’s military involvement in Afghanistan and Iraq.

“We are retaliating, the mujahedeen of this world,” Zehaf Bibeau says.

“Canada’s officially become one of our enemies by fighting and bombing us and creating a lot of terror in our countries and killing us and killing our innocents.

security forces responded on the morning of the shooting last Oct. 22 and what needs to change.

Those findings or recommendations have yet to be made public.

In February, the government announced it would end nearly 100 years of having an independent security unit inside Parliament, arguing the use of distinct forces wasn’t proving to be an effective approach.

The changes were announced one month after the defacto head of the Commons security team, sergeant-at-arms Kevin Vickers, was appointed ambassador to Ireland.

Vickers is credited with ending Zehaf Bibeau’s rampage that morning, which began with the shooting death of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo at the National War Memorial and ended in a shoot-out steps from the Library of Parliament.

“So, just aiming to hit some soldiers just to show that you’re not even safe in your own land, and you gotta be careful.”

Paulson said earlier this week the RCMP would release the remaining video either this week or next, along with an Ontario Provincial Police report into the actions of the Mounties on Parliament Hill.

Next week, the House of Commons plans to release a similar review of how security personnel responded to Zehaf Bibeau once he managed to get inside the Centre Block with a loaded rifle.

Speaking to a Commons committee Thursday, Speaker Andrew Scheer said his office is finalizing what portions of the report will be released.

“A report that includes names of security personnel, names of constables, where people were standing at what time, and where resources were deployed, some of that information would — it would not be appropriate to release that,” Scheer said.

TERROR TRIAL

Crown tells jury not to pity accused couple

VANCOUVER — Jurors at a British Columbia trial have been asked to curb their sympathies when deciding the fate of a husband and wife accused of plotting to blow up the provincial legislature.

Crown lawyer Peter Eccles said a life of hardship for John Nuttall and Amanda Korody — as recovering heroin addicts living on welfare — doesn’t make them any less guilty of planning a terrorist act.

The couple was arrested on July 1, 2013, and charged with plotting to detonate homemade pressure-cooker explosives amid Canada Day crowds gathered at the legislature in Victoria.

“When you feel sympathy for the accused remember who and what they were and what they intended to do,” Eccles told the jury during his closing submissions on Thursday.

“They had a difficult life, yes,” he said. “But they wanted to murder innocent people for a political reason. And they were committed to it.”

The B.C. Supreme Court jury was shown more than 100 hundred hours of video and audio surveillance collected as part of an elaborate RCMP sting.

Eccles warned the jury not to consider the couple as inept, despite what he described as the sometimes comic nature of their antics.

“Neither of them are stupid. Neither of them are illiterate. Neither of them are incapable of thought. Neither of them are incapable of thinking things out from start to finish,” he said.

Eccles said Korody, the seemingly timid and submissive wife who had also converted to Islam, was anything but meek in private and described her as leading from the rear.

Researchers divided on whether Canadians saving enough

Death of alleged Nazi war criminal angers Russia

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — The Russian Embassy in Ottawa ripped into the federal government Thursday after news emerged that a longtime Canadian resident who was No. 2 on the Simon Wiesenthal Center’s list of most wanted Nazi war criminals had died.

Vladimir Katriuk’s lawyer said his client had been ill for a long time before his recent death at the age of 93.

“I think it was last Friday,” Orest Rudzik said from Oakville, Ont. “It was a stroke or something do with a stroke.”

Katriuk, a native of Ukraine who had been an avid beekeeper for years in Ormstown, Que., was at the heart of allegations he participated in a village massacre in 1943 in what is now known as Belarus.

An official with the Russian Embassy said Katriuk’s death makes it impossible, “unfortunately,” for him to face justice.

“Sadly, the Canadian government ignored numerous appeals by Canadian Jewish organizations and efforts by the Russian authorities to ensure that justice be served, allowing Vladimir Katriuk to retain citizenship of Canada while peacefully residing in this country,” press secretary Kirill Kalinin said in an email sent to The Canadian Press.

“Employing legal or politically motivated loopholes to evade from trying or extraditing Nazi war criminals is totally unacceptable.”

Russia’s intervention in Ukraine has led to Canada all but severing relations with Russian President Vladimir Putin as well as imposing a slew of sanctions against individuals and entities in both countries.

The Federal Court ruled in 1999 that Katriuk lied about his voluntary service for German authorities during the war in order to obtain Canadian citizenship.

The court concluded Katriuk had been a member of a Ukrainian battalion implicated in numerous atrocities in Ukraine — including the deaths of thousands of Jews in Byelorussia between 1941 and 1944.

But in 2007 the Canadian government overturned an earlier decision to revoke Katriuk’s citizenship, due to a lack of evidence.

A study three years ago alleged Katriuk was a key participant in a massacre in Khatyn during the Second World War. The article said a man with Katriuk’s name lay in wait in March 1943 outside a barn that had been set ablaze, operating a machine-gun and firing on civilians as they tried to flee the burning building.

The same document said the man took a watch, bracelet and gun from the body of a woman found nearby.

“One witness stated that Volodymyr Katriuk was a particularly active participant in the atrocity: he reportedly lay behind the stationary machine-gun, firing rounds on anyone attempting to escape the flames,” said the article, authored by Lund University historian Per Anders Rudling.

WALMART CORRECTION NOTICE

OTTAWA — Federal political parties may be quarrelling over how best to expand the Canada Pension Plan, but they seem to agree on one thing: Canadians should be saving more for retirement.

But is that a universally accepted truth?

Researchers are divided, it seems. Some reports suggest most people will actually be just fine when they enter their golden years. Other studies paint a desperate picture of a decidedly downmarket lifestyle.

Regardless of who you believe, though, the debate over retirement savings is shaping up as a major ballot-box issue for this fall’s election campaign.

That was clear enough earlier this week when Finance Minister Joe Oliver said the government would consider giving people the option to inject more earnings into the Canada Pension Plan — a 180-degree pivot for the Tories on the issue.

“Obviously, we always want Canadians to save more,” Employment Minister Pierre Poilievre said Thursday in Ottawa.

Both the Liberals and the NDP say voluntary expansion of the plan doesn’t go far enough to ensure people are in good financial shape when they retire.

They both propose to introduce a mandatory CPP add-on if elected.

The federal Liberals say theirs would look like the one introduced by their provincial cousins in Ontario.

“I think the majority of Canadians agree — certainly the majority of Ontarians showed that in the last (provincial) election — that we need to expand the CPP because Canadians are not saving enough,” said Liberal MP John McCallum, a former bank economist.

The New Democrats have long supported the idea of a compulsory increase to the pension plan. Some studies, however, suggest Canadians will already be in a decent position by the time they retire.

Oliver cited one of those reports Thursday when he was asked whether he thought Canadians had

saved enough for retirement.

The study by the McKinsey and Company consulting firm found that 83 per cent of Canadians were headed for a comfortable retirement, Oliver told a conference call.

“They believe that the retirement system in Canada is very sound.”

Last fall, Canada’s retirement-income system ranked seventh out of 25 countries measured by the Melbourne Mercer Global Pension Index. It grades countries based on elements such as adequacy, sustainability and integrity.

Scott Clausen, a Toronto partner with the Mercer consulting firm, said while Canada ranks well, there are some areas to be worried about.

Fewer and fewer Canadians working in the private sector have had access to retirement plans in recent years — particularly people at middle-income levels, Clausen said.

Meanwhile, Jack Mintz, a tax-policy expert at the University of Calgary, said he has been studying the challenges faced by single seniors.

The poverty rate for seniors is about six per cent, but for single people in that age group it’s 20 per cent, Mintz said. He believes seniors should get 100 per cent of spousal benefits when their partner dies, so they continue to receive the same amount of money as before.

Of course, other research suggests Canadians urgently need to squirrel away more cash.

An August 2013 report by the Bank of Montreal showed that baby boomers were, on average, $400,000 short of their ideal savings goals, even as they reach retirement age.

Another BMO survey released last year found people from the so-called “sandwich generation” — those aged 45 to 64 years old who often find themselves caring for their aging parents as well as their kids — were $560,000 short of their savings targets.

The seniors advocacy group CARP says two-thirds of Canadian workers do not have access to workplace pension plans, while private tools like registered retirement savings plans are inadequate.

BRIEFS

B.C. men convicted of killing six people say cells covered in feces and blood VANCOUVER — Two men convicted of firstdegree murder in a mass execution that left six dead are suing the British Columbia government for alleged abuses they suffered while awaiting trial.

Cody Haevischer and Matthew Johnston say they were held in solitary confinement without adequate cause for 14 months after their arrests in April 2009.

The men claim they were kept in cells smeared with feces and blood, denied visits with family, exposed to light 24 hours a day and video recorded constantly even when using the toilet.

“The plaintiff’s emotions would fluctuate suddenly between anger, bitterness and fear. The plaintiff began to feel like he was no longer the same person,” Johnston’s statement of claim says.

“He became despondent and was wholly powerless to change his circumstances.”

Haevischer and Johnston were each convicted of conspiracy and six counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of six people in a highrise condo unit in Surrey, B.C., in October 2007.

Llama on the run gets new home after adventurous escape from B.C. auction ARMSTRONG, B.C. — A llama that went on the lam before it could be auctioned off has a new home after his antics stopped traffic on a highway in Armstrong, B.C. Bert, as he came to be known, escaped from a truck before he could be delivered to Valley Auctions.

He ran across Highway 97 as police tried to corral him and then strolled into a sawmill before lazing away in a backyard.

Auctioneer Don Raffan eventually got Bert back and put out the word that money from the highest bidder for the llama would be donated to B.C. Children’s Hospital.

Traci Evans says she was driving along when she saw police pursuing a “crazy” llama and decided to offer $250 for him.

Evans says she doesn’t know a thing about llamas but has met “standoffish” Bert, who she says will be living in an unoccupied pig pen and getting lots of love on her three-acre farm.

Canadian man to face trial in boy’s drowning A Canadian man accused in the drowning of a four-year-old boy in St. Lucia will have to face trial in the island country.

A friend of Sahab Jamshidi who is with him in St. Lucia says the Hamilton man’s bid to have the charge dismissed was rejected by the judge this afternoon.

Jamshidi is charged with causing death by gross negligence or recklessness in the drowning of Terrel Joshua Elibox, who drowned in the sea on Feb. 22.

The Royal St. Lucia Police Force says the charge carries a possible sentence of life in prison.

Police say they were told the child fell into the sea after getting a ride from a kitesurfer.

Jamshidi’s supporters maintain he was trying to help the child after seeing him struggle in the water.

DART heading home from Nepal OTTAWA — Canada’s Disaster Assistance Response Team is leaving Nepal after a month of work in the earthquakeshattered country.

The military team will turn over its base camp to non-governmental organizations.

The departure comes after the Canadian government, the United Nations and Nepal concluded there is no longer a critical need for foreign military assets on the ground.

The day after the devastating April 25 temblor, Canada sent a reconnaissance team and members of the DART to assess conditions.

Within days, military C-17 transports flew in personnel and equipment to aid in the recovery efforts.

The DART focuses on water purification, initial, primary medical care and engineering support.

In Nepal, the Canadian team treated more than 700 patients, distributed 75 water filtration units and provided access to clean, safe drinking water for approximately 3,400 people.

It also provided 750 maps and visuals to the Nepalese and foreign militaries and to nongovernmental and UN agencies.

Free votes on matters of conscience: MP OTTAWA — MPs will begin to grapple later Thursday with an issue that’s sure to become a hallmark of the next Parliament: what does one do if a piece of legislation flies in the face of their fundamental beliefs?

A Conservative private member’s motion that would allow members of Parliament to vote freely on matters of conscience is due to come up for debate in the House of Commons.

Motions aren’t binding on government, but the debate underscores that MPs are already laying the political groundwork to deal with the landmark Supreme Court decision earlier this year on physician-

Conservatives propose small changes to expat voting bill last resided.

One change would make it easier for an expatriate to get someone to vouch for their last residence.

The existing bill would require them to find someone from the same polling division, a small area with a riding.

The change would allow them to get an attestation from anyone living in the same constituency.

Poilievre, appearing before the procedure and House affairs committee, said the legislation speaks to a general belief of the Harper government.

“We believe that people should provide identification when they vote,” he said.

BY :THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — The Harper government is proposing seven minor amendments to legislation that would tighten voting rules for expatriates casting ballots from abroad.

Pierre Poilievre, the minister for democratic reform, says the changes will clarify some parts of the bill.

“There are issues of conscience, Supreme Court of Canada decisions, that deal with matters that are difficult and people have differences of views and differences of opinions on that,” said Conservative MP Ed Komarnicki, who introduced the motion.

“Members should all have, individually, the right to vote their conscience on those issues.”

In February, the top court struck down the criminal ban on assisted suicide, giving the federal government a year to draft new laws.

Justice Minister Peter MacKay has begun informal consultations on what the legislation ought to look like and has repeatedly said a more formal process would be announced soon, but the legislation itself is not expected before the fall election.

Learning from the pros THREE STAMPEDERS PUT CAROLINE, ROCKY PLAYERS THROUGH THE PACES

BY JOSH ALDRICH ADVOCATE STAFF CAROLINE — Jim Bystrom believes the potential for greatness lies within all athletes, but somewhere, for many, that drive to be great was hijacked.

In an effort to inspire his athletes, the head coach of the Caroline Cougars football team brought three Grey Cup Champion Calgary Stampeders out to put his players and the Rocky Mountain House Rebels through the paces.

“In some sense, mediocrity is OK in our society and that has led to way too many kids to underachieve. And as long as we have a society that wants to hand things to kids, make it easy and not make them work for it, these kids will continue to underachieve,” said Bystrom, in the shadow of the Kurt Browning Arena, a symbol of the small-town kid who reached for greatness. “If they see the potential they have within them, they can do amazing things.”

Making the trip to Caroline for the Tuesday and Wednesday camp were linebacker Deron Mayo, defensive back Keon Raymond and receiver Marquay McDaniel. The three of them will pick up their championship rings on Friday. The camp was set up by Bystrom through the Stampeders’ chaplain Rodd Sawatzky, who also works with the Calgary Flames and Roughnecks and believes strongly in reaching out to youth and giving them positive examples to follow.

Through two, two-and-a-half-hour sessions, the Stampeders ran their much younger counterparts through a series of drills, many of which they still concentrate on on a daily basis.

“We’re going to cover as much as we can ... basically we’re going to go over the fundamentals and honestly, to this day, that’s something we still practice on,” said Mayo.

“Hopefully we can get that through to them that it’s important to know the basics and how to be a good football player.”

Even though the Cougars play in the six-man high school football league and the Rebels in the 12-man league, the skill sets are similar and the fundamen-

“It’s like going from American football where the field is bigger, you’ve got an extra man, but you have to be fast up here in Canada,” said Raymond, who

grew up in St. Louis and went to Middle Tennessee State University after two years at Highland Community College in Kansas.

Host Remparts advance to semi-final MEMORIAL CUP

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Remparts 5, Oceanic 2 QUEBEC — The Quebec Remparts got their revenge on the Rimouski Oceanic, but a tougher challenge now awaits them at the Mastercard Memorial Cup. Jerome Verrier scored twice and the host Remparts turned the tables on the Rimouski with a 5-2 victory in the tiebreaker game on Thursday night.

They will have less than 24 hours rest before they face the Western Hockey League champion Kelowna Rockets in the semifinal Friday night.

It will be Quebec’s third game in as many nights, while the Rockets will have had two days rest.

“It’s the semifinal of the Memorial Cup so we’re not nervous about energy,” said Remparts goalie Zach Fucale.

“We’ll play hard and play our game.

“All year, every team plays three-in-three every two or three weeks. It’s nothing we haven’t faced before.”

The winner plays the Ontario Hockey League champion Oshawa Generals (3-0) in the final on Sunday.

The Remparts beat Kelowna 4-3 in the opening game of the tournament, but they know it will be a tougher test now that the Rockets have adjusted to the time zone change and shook off the rust of a long layoff after winning the WHL title.

“I think we need to expect a better Kelowna team this time,” said Fucale.

“It was the first game for everyone. It’ll be a great game.”

Defiant soccer chief resists calls to resign

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ZURICH — As defiant as ever, Sepp Blatter resisted calls to resign as FIFA president Thursday and deflected blame for the massive bribery and corruption scandal engulfing soccer’s world governing body.

“We, or I, cannot monitor everyone all of the time,” Blatter said in his first public remarks on the crisis that has further tainted his leadership CANADA WILL NOT VOTE on the eve of his bid FOR BLATTER B6 for a fifth term as president.

The 79-year-old Blatter insisted he could restore trust in world soccer after a pair of corruption investigations brought “shame and humiliation” on his organization and the world’s most popular sport.

“We cannot allow the reputation of football and FIFA to be dragged through the mud any longer,” he said. “It has to stop here and now.”

Despite a tide of criticism and pressure on him to leave, Blatter is moving ahead with a presidential election Friday that is likely to bring him another four years in office as one of them most powerful men in sports.

“The events of yesterday have cast a long shadow over football,” he said, his voice shaky at times, in a speech to open FIFA’s two-day congress. “There can be no place for corruption of any kind.”

Blatter refused to back down after European soccer body UEFA demanded earlier Thursday that he quit following the latest — and most serious allegations — to discredit FIFA during his 17 years in office.

“Enough is enough,” UEFA President Michel Platini said. “People no longer want him anymore and I don’t want him anymore either.”

Platini met privately with Blatter and asked him to go.

“I am asking you to leave FIFA, to step down because you are giving FIFA a terrible image,” Platini said he told Blatter. “In terms of our image, it is not good at all and I am the first one to be disgusted by this.”

Blatter, who is expected to win Friday’s election against Prince Ali bin al-Hussein of Jordan, is coming under increasing scrutiny amid U.S. and Swiss federal investigations into high-level corruption tearing at FIFA. A U.S. Justice Department investigation accused 14 international soccer officials or sports marketing executives of bribery, racketeering, fraud and money-laundering over two decades in connection with marketing rights worth hundreds of millions of dollars awarded for tournaments in North and South America. Seven officials — including two FIFA vicepresidents and members of its finance committee — remained in custody in Zurich on Thursday. Blatter was not implicated in the indictment.

In addition, Swiss officials are investigating the FIFA votes that sent the World Cup tournament to Russia in 2018 and to Qatar in 2022. Both decisions were marred by allegations of wrongdoing.

One of FIFA’s major sponsors, Visa, warned Thursday that it could pull out of its contract, which is worth at least $25 million a year through 2022.

Visa urged FIFA “to take swift and immediate steps to address these issues within its organization.”

While acknowledging that many people hold

him responsible for FIFA’s tattered image, Blatter blamed the “actions of individuals” for harming the organization.

“If people want to do wrong, they will also try to hide it,” he said. “I will not allow the actions of a few to destroy the hard work and integrity of the vast majority of those who work so hard for football.”

Blatter said the crisis could mark a “turning point” for FIFA to clean itself up.

“We will co-operate with all authorities to make sure anyone involved in wrongdoing, from top to bottom, is discovered and punished,” he said. “There can be no place for corruption of any kind. The next few months will not be easy for FIFA. I’m sure more bad news will follow. But it is necessary to begin to restore trust in our organization.”

Referring to Friday’s election, Blatter said: “We have the opportunity to begin on what will be a long and difficult road to rebuilding trust. We have lost their trust, at least a part of it, and we must now earn it back.”

The seven soccer officials, including Jeffrey Webb, president of the North and Central American and Caribbean regional body known as CONCACAF, were arrested in a police raid on a luxury Zurich hotel early Wednesday.

They are fighting extradition to the United States.

Defendants named in the indictment face up to 20 years in prison and their questioning could reveal further evidence that leads back to Blatter’s Zurichbased organization. Webb was a member of FIFA’s audit committee more than a decade ago. Swiss investigators began questioning 10 of Blatter’s colleagues on the FIFA executive committee from 2010 that chose Russia and Qatar as the next two World Cup hosts.

Bolts not intimidated by Rangers’ Game 7 success EASTERN CONFERENCE FINAL

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS The legend of Madison Square Garden doesn’t intimidate the Tampa Bay Lightning. Neither does the New York Rangers’ recent streak of Game 7 victories there.

“It’s still the same game, still the same measurements of any other rink,” defenceman Victor Hedman said.

Lightning coach Jon Cooper won’t pull out the measuring tape like Gene Hackman did in the movie Hoosiers to show that “The World’s Most Famous Arena” has a 200-by-85-foot ice surface, just like every other NHL arena. He and his players are, however, distancing themselves from the Rangers’ Game 7 success and hope to end that run Friday night with a trip to the Stanley Cup final at stake.

“We haven’t been a part of that history, so it doesn’t affect us,” Cooper said on a conference call Wednesday. “I guess you look back and it’s an impressive feat to see what they’ve done. But they haven’t done it against our group and our team, and we’ve got a pretty young, confident group.”

Tampa Bay’s confidence stems from its 3-1 record at Madison Square Garden this season, including two victories in three tries so far in the Eastern Conference final. Hedman called it a “hostile environment” and a tough building to play in but boasted that the Lightning are comfortable playing there.

So are the Rangers, especially in high-pressure situations.

They’ve played a Game 7 four times at MSG dating back to 2012, and won 2-1 each time.

Tampa Bay Lightning right wing Ryan Callahan (24) scores against New York Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist (30), during the first period of Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals in the NHL hockey Stanley Cup playoffs on Tuesday.

They beat the Washington Capitals in overtime last round, the Philadelphia Flyers last year and the Ottawa Senators and Capitals in 2012.

“Game 7s are so exciting to play on that ice, and the fans seem to just absolutely light that building up,” New York centre Derek Stepan told reporters in Tampa, Fla., on Wednesday. “

You play all year to get home ice advantage, and that’s what we’re able to do this year.”

All-time, the Rangers have never lost a home Game 7.

“I guess that means they’re due to lose one, right?”

Lightning winger Alex Killorn quipped. “But, no, I mean, they’re a team that, as we’ve seen when their backs are against the wall, they’ve played well.

“But we’ve also shown in the short history that our team has been together, we’ve been able to bounce back.”

The Lightning are counting on a bounce-back effort after giving up five goals in the third period of a 7-3 loss in Game 6 on Tuesday night with a chance to close out the Rangers.

They’ve only lost back-to-back games once in these playoffs, and that was when they had a 3-0 lead on the Montreal Canadiens in the second round.

Tampa Bay can draw on the experience of winning Game 7 in the first round against Detroit. This young team, which had only last year’s sweep at the hands of the Canadiens to recall, went into Joe Louis Arena to stave off elimination and then rode goaltender Ben Bishop to victory at home.

“I think it was useful for this group,” said Hedman, who along with captain Steven Stamkos is back from the 2011 team that reached Game 7 of the East final. “It was the first Game 7 for a lot of guys in the NHL. ... Just the way we played in those two games I think showed a lot about how we need to play to be successful.”

As Presidents’ Trophy winners and Cup finalists last year, the Rangers have plenty of pressure on them again in Game 7. Winger Rick Nash, who has three goals and four assists in the past three games, said the job is to “turn that pressure into a challenge.”

Ducks, Blackhawks set for a classic in the making

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ANAHEIM, Calif. — Someday the Anaheim Ducks and the Chicago Blackhawks will relish the stories they’ll be able to tell about playing in a post-season series as good as these Western Conference finals.

Not just now, though. They’ve still got to determine whether this tale has a happy ending or a brutal punchline. Two weeks of extraordinarily highlevel hockey conclude Saturday night at Honda Center when the Ducks and the Blackhawks play Game 7 for the Campbell Bowl and a trip to the Stanley Cup Final. They’ve traded victories for six tense games across the past two weeks, playing six overtime periods and four one-goal games.

Both teams used Thursday for travel and mental preparation for the big finish after Chicago staved off elimination with a 5-2 victory in Game 6.

The teams also did a bit of reflection on what’s shaping up as a conference finals as memorable as Chicago’s seven-game epic with the Los Angeles Kings last spring.

“It’s for sure the most exciting series I’ve ever been a part of personally,” said Ducks defenceman Francois Beauchemin, a Stanley Cup champion with 96 games of NHL playoff experience.

The games have mostly been close, but they’ve also been extremely well-played. Anaheim’s deep, balanced lineup has wrestled Chicago’s star-powered roster to a virtual stalemate through six games, with the Blackhawks winning two of the three overtime contests to avoid large series deficits.

“We play for these big games,” said Chicago for-

STORIES FROM PAGE B1

STAMPS: Hard work “These kids playing six-man have to be able to run and they have to be able to catch, somebody might go down and you have to put another one out there quick. You have to know the whole game.”

But through it all, the Stampeders players hope a message of hard work and success rubs off on their young charges. For them, it’s a story of leading by example. Most American players that end up in the CFL are there through hard work and determination.

Those that come North, misjudging the quality of the league flameout or get cut before their first regular season game.

Those that stick it out for the long-term, like the three Stampeders in Caroline, are there because they didn’t give up on themselves, despite whatever odds they may have been facing. Some are from small, dust-bowl towns, or like Raymond went to even smaller junior colleges, but it is there where they developed the tools they needed to succeed.

“I know what these kids go through, I spent two years in that town, but I became an awesome football player because it allowed me to work hard and do the little things to be able to get out of the town,” said Raymond. “For me and my teammates, there were always lots of obstacles that were put in our way to deter our dream of playing, but it’s things you choose to fight through and if these kids continue to fight through it and refuse to give up on their dream, I think they can play easily in the CFL because of the motivation they have.”

Bystrom made the effort to bring in their football cousins from up the road to get in on these lessons.

The two programs have formed a friendly rivalry over the years, and even play each other in exhibition games, but he has a desire to see all players from the region succeed, not just his own.

“There’s a whole bunch of young guys for whom this is going to unlock doors,” he said. “All of these kids have friends that have allowed fear to not allow them to try something new, whereas these kids are trying something new, learning to love it, enjoy the challenge of it and it’s going to take them places.

Even as husbands and fathers it’s going to make them better.”

From here the Stampeders get back into their own regimen with the start of training camp on Sunday.

Though they tasted greatness with one of the most dominant seasons in recent CFL history, culminating in a 20-16 win over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the 2014 Grey Cup, they have their sights set on writing their own legacy.

“It’s been a long off-season, especially carrying the cup Around ... but you always want to get back at it at again,” said Raymond. “We’re going to fly around and do our best to be the first Calgary Stampeders team to repeat.” jaldrich@reddeeradvocate.com

QUEBEC: Faced one another 19 times Adam Erne, Anthony Duclair and Marc-Olivier Roy also scored for Quebec, which had lost its six previous meetings with Rimouski at the Pepsi Colisee including a 4-0 defeat on Wednesday night in round robin play at the four-team tournament.

ward Marcus Kruger, whose goal ended Game 2 in triple overtime. “You never get tired of hockey.

That’s what everyone plays for.”

It’s been a spellbinding spectacle for fans and players alike, particularly in those overtime thrillers — even if the coaches aren’t having quite the same experience.

“I can’t feel it, quite frankly,” Anaheim coach Bruce Boudreau said. “I’ve asked people, ’Is this a good series? Is it entertaining?’ You’re caught up in the moment of winning and losing. People say it’s unbelievable, but we look at it as a little different right now. It might be something you appreciate one way or another in six months or in the future.”

The Ducks might feel a bit more pressure than the Blackhawks on home ice, and not just because they controlled long stretches of the series and got painfully close to finishing it in those overtime games.

They also have a daunting bit of recent history to overcome: The Ducks have blown a 3-2 series lead and lost a Game 7 at home in each of the past two postseasons, and they’re one loss from doing it again.

Anaheim dropped two straight to Detroit in the first round in 2013, and it fell short in the second round last spring against the future champion Los Angeles Kings.

“I’m not bringing that up to them at all,” Boudreau said. “Every year is a different entity. The guys who have been here those three years know what’s happened. If we have to draw on extra motivation for a Game 7 with a chance to play for the Stanley Cup,

then we’ve got the wrong guys. And we have the right guys in here.”

Yet Chicago has a failure to overcome in its own recent post-season history. The Blackhawks took Los Angeles to a seventh game in the Western Conference finals last spring, rallying from a 3-1 series deficit, only to lose in overtime when Alec Martinez’s shot deflected off now-departed defenceman Nick Leddy’s torso for the conference-winning goal.

Patrick Sharp was on the ice when Martinez’s goal crushed the United Center.

“You could feel the air go out of the building,” Sharp said. “You could feel your heart drop a little bit, being that close. Battling back from being down in that series against the Kings, (it) was a tough way to go out on home ice. You learn from it. You use it as hunger to get back to the situation and try to learn from your past experience. Hopefully it’s a different scenario for us this time.”

And while the Ducks appear to have a team that could contend again next year with much the same roster, the Blackhawks realize roster upheaval could be coming for a franchise with hefty bills to pay from seven straight playoff campaigns. Chicago’s window isn’t exactly closing, but consecutive losses on the brink of the Stanley Cup Final would be heartbreaking wasted opportunities. Just another thing for players to think about in the extra day off before the grand finale.

“I credit the guys, their focus, their preparation, their will to want to win, finding ways to win,” Chicago coach Joel Quenneville said. “They love the journey.

They’re competitive beyond what you could want it to be. It’s a testament to their competitive level.”

Samuel Morin and Jeremy Lepine scored for Rimouski, which was eliminated.

The teams faced one another 19 times this season and the rivalry had bitter moments but the teams lined up and shook hands after the game.

“We’re all sad and disappointed at the outcome, but if we take a breath and look at our season, we have something to be proud of,” said Rimouski defenceman Simon Bourque.

A sparse crowd of 6,533 turned out as the teams met for the ninth time in 24 days, including the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League final won in Game 7 overtime by the Oceanic.

This time, the Remparts were on top of the Oceanic from the outset, checking hard and using their speed to draw penalties and keep pressure on the defence.

“The key was moving our feet,” said defenceman Ryan Graves. “We’re a fast team and teams have trouble skating with us.”

On Wednesday night, the Oceanic dominated 4-0 and Quebec coach Philippe Boucher blasted the two QMJHL referees for bias against his team, for which

he was fined $10,000.

With refs from Ontario and the West working the tiebreaker, the Remparts got the first three power plays and scored on the third one as Verrier, a 21-year-old undrafted forward, deflected Graves’ point shot past Philippe Desrosiers at 17:19 of the first.

Morin tied it on a bullet, off-wing one-timer on a power play 2:32 into the second frame, but the Remparts answered at 3:58 when Duclair snapped a shot past Desrosiers off a drop pass from Kurt Etchegary.

Francois Beauchemin stripped the puck from Vladlimir Tkachev in the neutral zone and fed Lepine for a goal at 16:07, but again the Remparts answered right away as Desrosiers misplayed a clearing attempt and Erne scored from a scramble in the crease at 16:54. Verrier went to the net to tip in Massimo Carozza’s pass at 19:19. Roy took a stretch pass at the far blue-line and tapped one in after a collision with Desrosiers at 11:31 of the third.

Fucale rebounded from being pulled the night before with a solid effort as Rimouski outshot Quebec 32-31.

Brightest stars to battle in NBA Finals

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BY ADVOCATE STAFF

Photo by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (30) shoots against the Houston Rockets during the second half of Game 5 of the NBA basketball Western Conference finals in Oakland, Calif., Wednesday, May 27, 2015. since 1975.

Here are some things to watch in the finals: NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK: The Warriors’ Steve Kerr and the Cavaliers’ David Blatt — who nearly signed on to work under Kerr before getting the Cleveland job — are the first rookie coaches in the finals since the league’s first championship.

NO PLACE LIKE HOME: Golden State is 46-3 at Oracle Arena this season. The Cavaliers have become just as unbeatable on their home floor, winning 26 of their last 28 games at Quicken Loans Arena, including 18 by double digits.

SORE STARS: Kyrie Irving has been MVP of the All-Star Game and the Basketball World Cup — where he started in the U.S. backcourt alongside Curry.

Now he gets his chance in the NBA Finals, with plenty of time to rest the knee and foot injuries that caused him to miss two games in the confer-

ence finals. The time off will benefit fellow All-Star and world champion Klay Thompson. He began experiencing concussion symptoms after being kneed in the head and bleeding from the ear in the series clincher against Houston. He’ll need to pass the league’s concussion protocol before returning to action.

CONTAINING THE KING: Kawhi Leonard turned in a solid defensive effort against James last year when San Antonio beat Miami. Among the options for the Warriors against James is Draymond Green, the runner-up to Leonard this season for Defensive Player of the Year.

AGITATING AUSSIES: Warriors centre Andrew Bogut got under Dwight Howard’s skin, and Cleveland’s Matthew Dellavedova has angered opponents in the last two rounds. So players on both sides will have to avoid getting fired up by the feisty ones from Down Under.

Chicago Bulls fire coach Tom Thibodeau

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO — In five seasons under Tom Thibodeau, the Chicago Bulls soared to heights they had not reached since Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen were collecting championships.

They never got to the top with him and now he is out.

The Bulls fired Thibodeau on Thursday, parting ways with the strongwilled coach who took the team to the playoffs in each of his five seasons only to have his success overshadowed by his strained relationship with the front office.

“It is our strong belief that there needs to be a culture of communication that builds a trust throughout this organization from the players to the coaches to the management and to the front office, a culture where everyone is pulling in the same direction,” general manager Gar Forman said. “When that culture is sacrificed, it becomes

extremely difficult to evolve and to grow.”

Thibodeau went 255-139, a .647 winning percentage that ranks seventh in NBA history among coaches with at least 200 games. He led the Bulls to the top seed in the playoffs his first two seasons and was the NBA’s Coach of the Year in 2011, the same year Derrick Rose became the league’s youngest MVP. He thanked Chicago fans, his players, staff and their families “who have honoured me and the Bulls by their effort, love, dedication and professionalism.”

“We are proud of our many accomplishments, fought through adversity, and tried to give our fans the full commitment to excellence they deserve,” Thibodeau said in a statement. “I love this game and am excited about what’s ahead for me with USA Basketball and the next coaching opportunity in the NBA.” Chicago advanced to the Eastern Conference finals that season, but it’s

the only time the Bulls made it past the second round under Thibodeau, who had two years left on his contract.

Iowa State coach Fred Hoiberg, who has not returned to work full-time following open heart surgery in April, is widely viewed as a top candidate to replace him.

The move comes two weeks after the Bulls were eliminated by Cleveland with a listless effort in Game 6 of the East semifinals that came on the heels of an injury-filled 50-win season.

Forman said the Bulls spent the past week or so conducting exit interviews with players and organizational meetings. He insisted management was not holding out for compensation for Thibodeau and would have granted teams permission to talk to him had had they asked — but none did.

The Red Deer Synchronized Swim Club returned this past weekend from a successful Jean Peters Championship in Kamloops B.C. Every athlete that went came back with at least one podium finish.

In figures Claire Halford received and silver medal with a score of 61.8120 and Kia Risling received a bronze medal with a score of 60.6020 for the 13-15 figures. Nina Hayes earned a bronze medal for her 16-18 figures with a score of 58.5290. Chloe Vandenhurk received a bronze medal with a score of 51.5000 in the 10& Under figures and Jolie Chavarria placed a close fourth with 51.3330.

Vandenhurk an Chavarria also received a Gold medal for their 10& under duet.

Halford received a bronze medal for her solo in the 13-15 category while Risling placed fourth. Mya Freeman also competed in the 13-15 solo event and placed 7th. Nina Hayes also earned a silver in the 16-18 solo event. Halford and Freeman’s 13-15 duet earned a gold while Risling and Terra Paul earned a silver for their’s.

Jayden Haase as Piper Jackson earned gold in the 11-12 duet, Hailey Poole and Haley Oliver got a silver, while Kaetlynn Fuller and Sophie Schmidt finished with bronze.

All three teams earned bronze for their routines: 10& under — Vandenhurk, Chavarria, Fuller, Schmidt, Koda Reedeler, Mia Wright and Hayden Bettenson; 11-12 team — Haase, Jackson, Hailey Poole, Haley Poole, Anna Gordon; 13-15 team — Risling, Halford, Freeman, Paul, Nina Hayes.

BRIEFS Sharks officially announce Peter DeBoer hired as new coach to replace McLellan SAN JOSE, Calif. — The San Jose Sharks have officially hired former New Jersey and Florida coach Peter DeBoer to replace the departed Todd McLellan.

The team made the announcement at a news conference Thursday.

The decision to hire DeBoer ends a lengthy search that started April 20 when the team and McLellan announced that he would not be back for an eighth season in San Jose. The departure was announced as a mutual agreement and McLellan was later hired as head coach in Edmonton.

General manager Doug Wilson interviewed numerous candidates before deciding on DeBoer, who has coached seven seasons in the NHL with the Panthers and Devils. His best season came in 2011-12 when he led New Jersey to the Stanley Cup finals where the Devils lost to Los Angeles.

That was the only time DeBoer made the playoffs in his coaching career. He was fired by the Devils in December. DeBoer most recently served as an assistant to McLellan at the world championships, where Team Canada won the title. DeBoer has ties to the Sharks front office. Larry Robinson was one of his assistants in New Jersey and is director of player development in San Jose after serving as an assistant to McLellan the past three seasons. Wilson believed that DeBoer was the right man to lead the Sharks through a rebuilding phase after the team’s run of 10 straight playoff berths ended this year.

Stephen Curry and LeBron James, this season’s brightest stars, are taking basketball’s biggest stage.

The NBA Finals start June 4 with the Golden State Warriors against the Cleveland Cavaliers, two teams who have little experience playing this time of year.

James is the exception, getting ready to appear in his fifth straight finals. He won two titles in Miami before coming back home to Ohio. Curry is aiming for what the four-time MVP has experienced.

“He’s been here plenty of times before, five straight finals appearances, I think, so we’ve got to bring our A game if we’re going to beat a great team and a great player like that four times,” Curry said. “We’re excited about the challenge. He had to win his first one at some point, and nobody on our team has experienced that, so we’re going to be fighting like crazy every night.”

Not for a while, though. Both teams were so good in the conference finals that they won too fast, the Cavaliers finishing a sweep of top-seeded Atlanta in the East on Tuesday and the Warriors completing their five-game victory over Houston a night later.

The lengthy layoff will benefit banged-up players on both teams, and provide plenty of time to hype the Curry-James duel.

They started in the same place, born in the same hospital in Akron, Ohio, but couldn’t have been more different upon arriving in the NBA. James was the can’t-miss Chosen One taken with the top pick in the 2003 draft, a perfect 6-foot-8 combination of size and speed.

Curry had the sweet shot but a small stature, considered by many not big enough for NBA super stardom when he was drafted out of Davidson in 2009.

Yet he put together a highlight reel this season with his brilliant ballhandling and smooth stroke and was voted MVP, finishing two spots ahead of James.

Curry averaged 31.2 points and shot nearly 50 per cent from 3-point range in the West finals, while James nearly averaged a triple-double in the Cavs’ four-game romp.

The Warriors have home-court advantage after winning a league-best 67 games. But the Cavaliers, despite a difficult start to the season and the loss of Kevin Love, have been even better in the post-season, with a 12-2 record.

“No matter what happens from here on out, to see what we’ve accomplished being a first-year team together that’s had different changes throughout the course of the season, that’s faced so many obstacles throughout the season — injuries here, transactions here, lineups here — it’s something we can be very proud of to this point,” James said.

This will be his second crack at trying to help the Cavs win their first title. They got there in 2007 but were swept by San Antonio. The Warriors are seeking their first championship

Bowditch opens with 62 at Nelson

Harrington, Kieffer lead Irish Open

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEWCASTLE, Ireland — Rory McIlroy can’t seem to perform in front of a home crowd.

The Northern Ireland star looked bewildered as he shot a 9-over-par 80 — his worst score of the season — in Thursday’s opening round of the Irish Open. He fell to the bottom of the morning’s leaderboard and finished tied for 150th place at the end of the day.

Many other players struggled amid gales and pounding showers at Royal County Down, a links course in the shadow of the Mourne Mountains famed for its stunning seaside setting, blind approaches and undulating greens. But the scores improved as the winds eased somewhat and the afternoon sun came out.

Taking advantage were Irish veteran Padraig Harrington and unheralded Maximilian Kieffer of Germany, who both shot 67 to share the lead.

The 43-year-old Harrington, who hasn’t won on the European Tour since 2008 but took the PGA Tour’s Honda Classic in March, said understanding the strong winds gave him a tactical advantage. He birdied five of the final eight, but edged an 8-foot putt for birdie just wide on the final hole. Had he made it, Harrington would have tied the 76-year-old

course record.

“There’s plenty of ways to get around this golf course in the wind. I was happy to see it,” said Harrington, who won the Irish Open in 2007.

The 290th-ranked Kieffer, 24, was in the last group to start and not expected to contend. But he eagled the par-5, 525-yard 12th hole on his way to one of his best rounds since finishing second in the 2013 Spanish Open. McIlroy bogeyed half of the course and couldn’t hit a birdie. The sellout crowd of nearly 20,000 gasped with each miss, and offered relieved applause as he narrowly two-putted his final hole for par.

“My poor iron play led to missed greens, which led to giving myself a lot of 8- to 12-footers for pars, and that led to missing all of them,” said McIlroy, who described his play as “worse as I got closer to the green.”

He had played three practice rounds at the course south of Belfast after failing to make the cut at Wentworth last weekend, but the unexpected extra practice didn’t help his play. If McIlroy fails to make the cut Friday, it would be his third straight early exit at the Irish Open. He’s never come close to winning the event in eight tries. McIlroy, whose Rory Foundation children’s charity is hosting the Irish Open for the first time, said he might need to shoot a 66 on Friday to make the cut.

IRVING, Texas — Steven Bowditch considers the AT&T Byron Nelson his home tournament — just maybe not to the extent Jordan Spieth does.

The Australian matched his low round on the PGA Tour with an 8-under 62 on Thursday to take a twoshot lead over another Texan, Jimmy Walker. Spieth was seven shots back in his first round as Masters champion in the event that gave the Dallas player his start as a 16-year-old amateur in 2010.

Bowditch, who moved to the Dallas area 10 years ago, has made the cut just once at the Nelson — in his debut in 2011, when he tied for 60th after a thirdround 80.

He didn’t make it to the weekend each of the past three years at TPC Four Seasons.

The 31-year-old missed the cut last week at Colonial in Fort Worth, which is a little farther from his home in the suburb of Flower Mound and he says doesn’t have quite the “hometown” draw as the Nelson for Bowditch’s family and friends.

“It’s starting to feel that way, to be honest. Starting to get a lot more ticket requests,” said Bowditch, whose only PGA Tour win was the 2014 Texas Open in San Antonio.

“You always want to play well, but I guess it is a little more special when you have everyone around that only get to see you play golf once a year.”

The Nelson had the hometown feel for Spieth the moment he stepped to the 10th tee as a high school junior five years ago, when he tied for 16th as the sixth-youngest player to make the cut in a PGA Tour event. He returned as a rising star after his win at Augusta, frequently tipping his cap to large galleries that even cheered as he walked onto greens.

“It feels different when I tee off now versus when I was out there then,” said Spieth, who has finished second at all three Texas events this year, including Colonial.

“Obviously, off the course I prepare hard for this and would like to play well and get in contention.

But when I’m inside the ropes, it’s just another week.

Back then, it was the biggest tournament I’ve ever played in.”

Williams, Djokovic, Murray all win at French Open PARIS — For Serena Williams, it was a bad right elbow that led to some shaky serving and a dropped set.

For Novak Djokovic, first it was a balky right hip that needed treatment from a trainer; later came an embarrassing mistake.

For Andy Murray, it was a time warning from the chair umpire and losing a set for the first time in six matches against his opponent.

While nine-time French Open champion Rafael Nadal won in straight sets on a cloudy, windy Thursday, some red dirt got in the machine for three of the other biggest names at Roland Garros. That trio put those moments aside and reached the third round, where more significant challenges could await.

“I know I’m capable of playing great tennis,” the top-seeded Williams said. “Just haven’t seen it yet.”

Calling her performance “not professional,” Williams was sloppy as can be for stretches in a 5-7, 6-3, 6-3 victory over 105th-ranked Anna-Lena Friedsam, a German who had never won a Grand Slam match until this week.

Williams committed 21 unforced errors in the first set alone, 52 in all.

“I was a little bit nervous (in the) first set,” Friedsam said, “and I think Serena was a bit nervous, too.”

The American was particularly subpar with her serve, which she said she hasn’t been able to work on properly in practice because of an elbow injury that led her to withdraw from a clay-court tournament in Rome this month.

“I’m not using it so much as a weapon,” Williams

said about her serve. “So hopefully it will get better.”

She double-faulted eight times and allowed Friedsam to accumulate 15 break points, four of which were converted.

“I know my level is literally 100 times better than I played today,” the 19-time major champion said, rolling her eyes, “so I think I take more solace in the fact I can play better, as opposed to the fact that that’s the best I could play. Then I would be in trouble.”

Next comes 27th-seeded Victoria Azarenka, a former No. 1 player and two-time Australian Open champion.

Even if she is 15-3 against Azarenka, including wins in the 2012 and 2013 U.S. Open finals, Williams acknowledged: “I do know if I play the way I did today, I probably won’t be winning my match. So I’m going to have to step it up a level.”

In Canadian results, Ottawa’s Gabriela Dabrowski and Poland’s Alicja Rosolska lost their first-round women’s doubles match, 6-4, 6-1 to Taiwan’s YungJan Chan and China’s Jie Zheng.

In mixed doubles, Eugenie Bouchard of Westmount, Que., and Max Mirnyi of Belarus lost their first-round match 6-1, 6-4 to Americans Mike Bryan and Bethanie Mattek-Sands.

The top-seeded Djokovic and Murray, seeded No. 3, both will take on talented young Australians for berths in the fourth round. Djokovic faces 19-yearold Thanasi Kokkinakis, while Murray meets 20-yearold Nick Kyrgios. There hadn’t been a teenager in the men’s third round at Roland Garros since 2008, but now there are two: Kokkinakis and Croatia’s Borna Coric, 18.

Coric eliminated 33-year-old Tommy Robredo,

who was seeded 18th, 7-5, 3-6, 6-2, 4-6, 6-4, and now will meet Jack Sock, a 22-year-old American.

“All of them — Kyrgios, Kokkinakis and Coric — are showing some great skills and potential to be ... top players,” Djokovic said. “But it’s a long way ahead.”

Djokovic proclaimed the pain in his upper right leg “nothing serious, really” after taking a medical timeout late in the second set of his 6-1, 6-4, 6-4 win over Gilles Muller. For a few minutes, things did not look promising for Djokovic — prone on the court, getting massaged by a trainer.

But he eventually moved a step closer to completing a career Grand Slam. There was a gaffe at 4-1 in the third set, though, when Djokovic casually watched a ball by Muller sail long but touch the edge of his racket before hitting the court.

The point went to Muller, who broke there.

“Never, never, ever happened. And it should never happen again,” Djokovic said. “I guess a little bit of lack of concentration. ... It was funny to me, because I was 4-1 up, double-break. If it was 2-all, or 2-3 down, I wouldn’t be smiling, for sure.”

Murray stretched his post-wedding winning streak to 12 matches by defeating Joao Sousa 6-2, 4-6, 6-4, 6-1.

Murray had won all 12 previous sets the pair had played against each other. So it appeared to be a big deal when Murray was cited for a time violation by the chair umpire shortly before frittering away the second set.

“I was struggling,” Murray said. “There was pressure building.”

But he dealt with the difficulty, just as Djokovic and Williams did, and moves on to a new test.

FIFA PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION

Canada will not vote for Sepp Blatter

Buffalo Sabres GM Tim Murray, left, and newly hired coach Dan Bylsma hold a Sabres’ jersey as they pose for a photo after a news conference Thursday, in Buffalo, N.Y.

Dan Bylsma faces rebuilding challenge in Buffalo fore the former Red Wings coach signed with Toronto, the GM noted that Bylsma was also high on his list. Murray said he first approached Bylsma about the Sabres’ job about a month ago.

The two share a connection in Anaheim from 200204. That’s when Bylsma was finishing his career as a fourth-line forward, and Murray served as the Ducks player personnel director.

After making the playoffs in each of his six seasons in Pittsburgh, Bylsma takes over a team that has missed the playoffs in each of the past four seasons, and hasn’t won a playoff series since 2007.

The Sabres cupboard, however, is not entirely bare after spending the past three seasons adding youth and stockpiling high draft picks. Buffalo has the No. 2 choice in the draft next month for the second consecutive year and is expected to select Boston University centre Jack Eichel.

Bylsma got a firsthand look at Eichel at the World Championships in the Czech Republic this month.

Bylsma was an assistant coach and Eichel a top-line forward on the United States team that finished fourth.

“He stacked up right up there with his skill and his size and ability to play the game,” Bylsma said.

“Jack’s going to be a good pick for anybody who does take him.”

Eichel’s anticipated arrival will merely add to an emerging group of young players already in Buffalo’s system. They include centre Sam Reinhart, who was selected with the No. 2 pick last year, and defenceman Rasmus Ristolainen and Nikita Zadorov, two 2013 first-round who enjoyed regular playing time as rookies in Buffalo last season.

“There is a bright future ahead for this team,” Bylsma said.

Bylsma got his NHL coaching break in February 2009 during his first season with the Penguins’ Wilkes-Barre/Scranton affiliate. He was promoted to Pittsburgh to replace Michel Therrien with 25 games left in the season. The Penguins finished out 18-3-4 to make the playoffs, and then went on to clinch the franchise’s third championship by defeating Detroit in Game 7 of the Cup finals.

From Grand Haven, Michigan, Bylsma is a former NHL forward, who made his professional debut by playing two games with the Sabres’ American Hockey League affiliate in Rochester in 1992-93.

After bouncing around the minors, he eventually played parts of nine seasons with the Los Angeles Kings and Ducks before retiring in 2004.

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BUFFALO, N.Y. — The circumstances have changed for Dan Bylsma in taking over as coach of the young and rebuilding Buffalo Sabres.

The expectations have not for someone previously accustomed to coaching the Sidney Crosby-led Pittsburgh Penguins.

Bylsma’s first objective is developing a winning attitude in Buffalo, on a team that has finished last in the standings in each of the past two seasons.

“The expectation for the winning culture and how we play is not going to change,” Bylsma said during his inaugural news conference shortly after being hired Thursday. “And that’s going to start, starting today. And it’s going to continue as we go, as we develop this group.”

And Bylsma acknowledged it won’t be an easy task for a team that has lost a franchise-worst 51 games in each of its past two seasons, has purged much of its high-priced talent and is now on its third coach since Lindy Ruff was fired in February 2013.

“I don’t think there’s a time-frame that you’re going to put on certain aspects of success of where this team’s going to be,” he said. “I know right now in our process of development as a team, we’re looking to get better every day we step on this ice.”

A week after losing out on hiring Mike Babcock, the Sabres turned their attention to another former Stanley Cup-winner to take over after Ted Nolan was fired last month.

The 44-year-old Bylsma led the Penguins to the Stanley Cup title in 2009 in his rookie season as coach. He eventually spent five-plus seasons in Pittsburgh, where he won a franchise-best 252 games and was the NHL’s 2011 coach of the year, before being fired during front-office shake up a year ago.

Bylsma was hired by the Sabres after spending the past two days meeting with team owners Terry and Kim Pegula and general manager Tim Murray. And his hiring was delayed briefly after the Sabres were required under NHL rules to give up a 2016 thirdround draft pick as compensation because Bylsma’s contract with Pittsburgh ran through June 2016.

The hiring leaves the New Jersey Devils as the NHL’s only team with a coaching vacancy.

“We’ve been trying to change the culture here every day, but this is a big swing to the positive,” Murray said. “This is part of the process of getting better.

We improved today by hiring him.”

Though Murray had targeted hiring Babcock be-

Canadian Ryan (The Big Deal) Jimmo pushing for change in UFC TORONTO — Canadian fighter Ryan (The Big Deal) Jimmo returns to action Saturday after almost a year off. Injuries, however, haven’t prevented the outspoken UFC light-heavyweight from fighting for what he believes is right.

In a sport where job security is next to nil, the 33-year-old Jimmo doesn’t pull punches outside the cage. The Saint John native, who now calls Arizona home after stints in Edmonton and Halifax, has spoken out against the UFC’s deal with Reebok and in favour of a fighters’ association.

“There’s some fighters I know, who fight in the UFC, who are living in someone’s basement for free because they can’t afford to pay rent somewhere and have a vehicle,” he said in an interview. “And we’re talking about world-class athletes.

“We’re talking about people who literally, if they do this long enough, they could end up with brain damage, broken bones.”

Jimmo argues the current UFC compensation model works for a few elite fighters but not for the vast majority. Some fighters could make the same or more at Starbucks and Subway than they do “fighting on the biggest stage in the world.”

The six-foot-two 205-pound black belt in karate says he has yet to feel a UFC backlash for his outspoken views.

“I haven’t heard a word from anyone in regards to anything that I’ve said,” he said.

“I’ve said quite a bit. I’m actually a little bit surprised nobody’s called me up and kind of waved a finger at me.

“To be honest with you I think it’s something that needs to be talked about a little bit more.”

Jimmo, while acknowledging the sport of MMA is young, maintains change is needed to get fighters a more equitable share of the revenue.

That’s difficult with the UFC, a privately owned company that dominates the sport and has tight control over its 585-plus fighters under contract.

“It’s going to take a little bit of time to change.

Hopefully I can help push it in that direction,” said Jimmo, who has even tweeted his disapproval to UFC president Dana White about the seats he got for one of the organization’s cards.

TORONTO — Canada will not vote for beleaguered incumbent Sepp Blatter in Friday’s presidential vote at the FIFA Congress.

Victor Montagliani, president of the Canadian Soccer Association, says Canada will cast its ballot for the only other candidate — Prince Ali bin alHussein of Jordan.

Montagliani says Canada cannot support the current political leadership of FIFA. “The organization needs a definite change, a refresh,” Montagliani told The Canadian Press from Zurich. “And I think we need to govern the game in a better way.

“And this is also a comment to the FIFA Executive Committee. It’s not just about one person. The game deserves better. Period.”

Montagliani said the decision not to support Blatter was finalized at a Canadian Soccer Association board meeting Thursday.

The Canadian soccer boss says the U.S. Soccer Federation has come to the same conclusion and will vote the same way. UEFA, the governing body of European soccer, is also supporting Prince Ali, Asia’s vice-president on the FIFA executive committee.

Montagliani says reforms in world soccer have to be done quickly and in transparent fashion.

FIFA was rocked this week by a string of indictments from the U.S. Department of Justice. CONCACAF, which covers North and Central America and the Caribbean, was front and centre in the alleged corruption.

CONCACAF moved Thursday to reorganize.

Montagliani was named to a special CONCACAF committee charged with “evaluating and sustaining” all of the confederation’s business operations of the wake of FIFA’s mushrooming corruption scandal.

Montagliani is joined on the committee by Justino Compean, president of the Mexican Soccer Federation and Sunil Gulati, president of the U.S. Soccer Federation.

CONCACAF’s Executive Committee has “provisionally dismissed” president Jeffrey Webb and Eduardo Li and named senior vice-president Alfredo Hawit as CONCACAF president.

Webb, a FIFA vice-president from the Cayman Islands, and Li, head of the Costa Rican football federation, are facing charges that carry up to 20 years in prison if convicted. Julio Rocha of Nicaragua was also indicted.

Jack Warner, a former CONCACAF president and FIFA vice-president from Trinidad and Tobago, was also arrested.

FIFA suspended 11 people, including Webb, from all soccer-related activities.

Montagliani, who said he will respect the due process of the legal system, believed CONCACAF had made strides since another scandal four years ago.

So the new corruption allegations came as “a complete shock .... and utter disappointment.”

“I don’t think disappointment is even the right word for it. It’s much more that disappointment,” Montagliani said in his first public comments on the current FIFA scandal. “There’s absolutely zero room and zero tolerance for this kind of stuff in the game.”

Montagliani says he doesn’t know how Blatter will fare Friday.

“We’re not making this decision because we think he’s going to win or lose. We’re making this decision because I think quite frankly as Canadians it’s in our DNA to make correct decisions when it comes to these kind of things. And as a Canadian I think we’re making the right decision. Our organization needs to continue to keep making these kind of decisions.”

Montagliani was elected president of the CSA in 2012, one year after Blatter ran unopposed.

The native of Burnaby, B.C., was a CSA vice-president for three terms, and has been a member of its executive committee since 2005. He was appointed to FIFA’s Legal Committee in 2012. One of 27 standing committees, it analyses basic legal issues relating to football and the evolution of FIFA’s statutes and regulations.

Montagliani is joined at the FIFA Congress by CSA board member Charmaine Crooks and vicepresident Steven Reed.

SPORTS Cubs rookie Bryant shows no signs of letting up

BRIEFS Argos sign pair

TORONTO — The Toronto Argonauts signed Canadian defensive lineman Daryl Waud, international quarterback Blake Sims and international wide receiver Brandon Terry on Thursday.

Toronto selected the six-foot-five, 270-pound Waud in the second round, 12th overall, of the CFL draft earlier this month. Waud, a Hamilton native, had 75 tackles, 8.5 sacks and an interception return for a TD over four seasons with the Western Mustangs.

Waud, a three-time All-Canadian, participated in the East-West Shrine game in January.

The six-foot, 208-pound Sims joins the Argos after attending the Washington Redskins’ rookie mini-camp. Sims completed 64.5 per cent of his passes at Alabama for 3,487 passing yards and 28 TDs. Sims guided the Crimson Tide to a 2014 SEC championship and an appearance in the inaugural NCAA college football playoff.

Terry, a six-foot-five, 210-pound native of Alpharetta, Ga., played four seasons at Wake Forest. He caught 21 passes for 340 yards in 32 games with the Demon Deacons.

The Argos also released international defensive back Jordan Sullen.

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO — The owner made a beeline through the Cubs’ clubhouse looking for his rookie slugger.

“Hey, take it easy,” Tom Ricketts told Kris Bryant, trying not to laugh. “That thing costs a lot of money.”

“Gotcha,” Bryant smiled, trying not to blush.

“That thing” is a brand-new, 4,000-squarefoot Jumbotron atop the bleachers and the ivy-covered outfield wall in left, an expensive piece of furniture in Wrigley Field’s $500 million makeover.

In the eighth inning Wednesday night, with Chicago trailing Washington by a run, Bryant patiently turned an 0-2 count against reliever Aaron Barrett into 3-2. Then he turned around a waist-high changeup and launched it 463 feet — or 477, depending on the estimate — into the night sky.

“We thought it was over the board,” Cubs manager Joe Maddon recalled. “Kind of got everyone stirring.”

That the home run — Bryant’s seventh this season — tied a game the Cubs went on to win was good enough for a fan base thrilled with second place in the NL Central, even if it’s only May. That it hit the upper face of the video board while Bryant’s own mug was prominently displayed made it a perfect tableau for the 23-year-old fast becoming the face of a franchise completing a makeover of its own.

Pitchers have the upper hand in baseball at the moment. That’s one reason upand-coming sluggers like Bryant and Washington’s Bryce Harper — Little League opponents in Las Vegas a dozen years ago — arrive in the majors with more hype than ever.

If the just-ended three-game series matching the two stars were Home Run Derby, it would have ended 2-2. Instead, the surging Nationals took two of three.

Harper, nine months younger, arrived

‘IT’S THE SAME GAME I’VE PLAYED MY WHOLE LIFE. I’M TRYING TO HIT IT IN THE AIR. THE PITCHERS WANT ME TO HIT IT ON THE GROUND. UP HERE, THAT MEANS ADJUSTING NOT JUST AT-BAT, BUT PITCH TO PITCH.’ — KRIS BRYANT CHICAGO CUBS

three years earlier and has already established his big league bona fides. Bryant has been there only five-plus weeks — the Cubs left him in the minors until April 17 to delay his free-agent eligibility by a season — but he’s making an outsized impression.

Bryant is hitting a solid .275 with a .393 on-base percentage, along with 31 RBIs in 38 games.

Pairing power with discipline at the plate, he makes nearly every at-bat a test of wills. Armed with scouting reports, pitchers offer precious little to hit.

“It’s the same game I’ve played my whole life,” Bryant said. “I’m trying to hit it in the air. The pitchers want me to hit it on the ground. Up here, that means adjusting not just at-bat to at-bat, but pitch to pitch.”

Across the locker room, veteran teammate Jason Hammel recalled watching Bryant tear through a succession of pitchers in spring training.

“I’d try to figure out how I’d pitch him,” he said. “Pretty much the way guys are trying to get him now — sliders, curves, change-ups — basically, spinners.

“But he doesn’t give in easy,” Hammel added a moment later. “Seems like every time I look up, he’s on a 3-2 count.”

Like every other tool in his bag, Bryant came by his steeliness early. Mike Bryant, his father, recalls Kris banging balls off tees and against the same fences used by the older kids at age 8. Soon after, he sold his furniture business to take a 9-to-5 job and oversee the development of both Kris and older brother Nick.

Mike Bryant, whose own stab at base-

ball ended after two seasons in the low minors, put up a batting cage with lights in the backyard. Before his stint in the Red Sox organization ended — he hit .204, with four home runs — he had chance to learn the art of batting from Ted Williams himself.

Williams used to work with the minor leaguers, and Bryant distilled that education to a single phrase for his sons: “Hit it hard, and hit it in the air.”

“Williams was 50 years ahead of the curve. All the sabermetric measures bear that out now,” Mike Bryant said. “Kris swung that way naturally from the start. He was intelligent, very visual and I could talk to him about launch angles and such.”

“He understood how the pieces of the swing were connected and how to put them in sequence. Honestly, I wish I had decent videos of his swing when he was 10,” he added, “because if you looked at it, it would look very much as it does today.”

Bryant shies away from comparisons to Williams.

“People made it sound like my dad said, ’Ted Williams did this or that every minute.’ That’s overblown,” he said. “I watched Barry Bonds and Manny Ramirez and lots of other guys, too.”

But Bryant doesn’t deny he knew by age 12 he was capable of similar — if still pintsized — feats.

“That’s when I started to separate from the other kids. I was bigger. I hit .714, or something like that, and broke the Little League record for home runs. That’s when part of me said, ’I might be good enough to play in the major leagues someday.”’

Amendola out as Hurricanes’ CFO after nearly 35 years with organization RALEIGH, N.C. — Mike Amendola is out as the Carolina Hurricanes’ chief financial officer.

Team spokesman Kyle Hanlin said Thursday night that Amendola is no longer with the company.

Amendola was the team’s longest-tenured front-office employee, joining the organization in 1981 when the franchise was in Hartford, Connecticut.

He was in charge of financial, sales, human resources and information technology for the Hurricanes and PNC Arena, and oversaw financial operations of the other branches of Gale Force Holdings. Those include the minor-league Florida Everblades, the Plymouth Whalers junior team and their respective arenas.

NEW YORK — Trainer Bob Baffert says “it’s a shame” that a lawsuit involving American Pharoah owner Ahmed Zayat has become an issue in the buildup to the Belmont Stakes next Saturday. Speaking on a national conference call Thursday, Baffert said some people are “jealous” of Zayat’s good fortune of owning a Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner about to attempt to win the Triple Crown.

Last week, Zayat asked a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit accusing him of owing $1.65 million to a man who says he fronted the owner the money for bets placed at offshore casinos. The suit was filed last year by Howard Rubinsky of Florida involving a personal services contract in 2003.

The update on the status of the lawsuit came in the days following American Pharoah’s victory in the Preakness, setting him up to become the first Triple Crown winner in 37 years.

“The gambling world could be a little seedy, but it’s too bad,” Baffert said. “It’s such a beautiful moment, and that somebody would go out of their way just to tear the man down. ... It’s a shame.”

The story plays out in a magical undersea kingdom popularized by the Disney adaptation of the Danish author Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale The Little Mermaid.

The mermaid Ariel longs to leave her ocean home and her fins behind and live in the world above. But first she will have to defy her father King Neptune, make a deal with the evil sea witch Octavia, and convince the handsome Prince Eric that she is the girl whose enchanting voice heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been seeking.

Evening performances start tonight at 7 p.m. will take place on Saturday and on June 5, 6. Matinee performances will run at 3 p.m. on both Saturdays.

All performances of the Little Mermaid take place at the New Life Fellowship Church in Red Deer at 20 Kelloway Cres.

Sixty-two young actors make up the cast for this production, with help from 15 student crew members to make the show run smoothly.

Cornerstone Youth Theatre is accepting registrations for their summer programs and will stage a production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat in August.

INSPIRED BY GRANDMA

BRIEFS Home invasion accused faces trial A Red Deer woman accused of a violent home invasion involving brass knuckles will stand trial after entering not guilty pleas to several charges from the April incident.

Kristen Lee Hiebert, 29, is charged with break and enter, robbery with a weapon, unauthorized possession of a weapon, possessing stolen property under $5,000 and two counts of assault with a weapon.

Defence counsel Brad Mulder appeared on behalf of Hiebert’s counsel Jason Snider in Red Deer provincial court Wednesday before Judge Gordon Deck.

Mulder entered the pleas of not guilty with an election of trial before a provincial court judge.

Prosecutor Maurice Collard estimated the Crown’s case would take one day.

On April 7, Red Deer RCMP were called to a Kentwood area home to a report of a home invasion in progress.

Police said the residents awoke to hear someone in their house and confronted a female suspect as she attempted to leave the home with electronics, a purse and other items.

When confronted, police said a struggle ensued and the homeowner was struck in the head with brass knuckles. He was able to restrain the suspect until police arrived.

A date for the trial was not set.

RCMP add second crime analyst A second criminal intelligence analyst has joined the Red Deer RCMP. The new recruit started on May 11. The detachment has had a criminal analyst on the payroll since 2012.

The second position was approved in the 2014 city budget.

Criminal intelligence analysts collect and analyze information, identify crime trends and gather and disseminate intelligence for specific investigations.

Red Deer’s criminal analysts work with officers in Red Deer, the Central Alberta District and assist the Priority Crimes Task Force with investigations.

Ponoka break-ins go to trial Two men accused of a series of break-ins in Ponoka will stand trial next spring in Wetaskiwin.

Gina Marie Goduto, 36, and Kenneth James Brimner, 51, will be tried in Wetaskiwin Court of Queens Bench before a judge alone on April 14 and 15, 2016.

The two are charged with break and enter, theft over $5,000, possession of break-in instruments and possession of stolen property over $5,000.

Brimner is also charged with assaulting a peace officer with a weapon. Ponoka RCMP said two officers received minor injuries while arresting Brimner. They were treated and released from hospital.

Ponoka RCMP said two people were arrested on July 11, 2014, after police on patrol located a truck parked in a suspicious manner at a local tire shop.

As they approached the vehicle, two suspects ran back inside the vehicle and attempted to leave the scene.

According to police, a marked police vehicle blocking the truck was rammed by the suspect vehicle three times before its occupants were taken into custody.

Discovery Canyon opening June 6 The opening of Discovery Canyon has been delayed until June 6 to allow for repairs and maintenance.

The popular water play area, located west of the parking lot at River Bend Golf Course, was initially expected to open on Monday.

Discovery Canyon includes a waterfall, gently meandering man-made creek for tubing, a beach and picnic area.

Entry to the area is free. Tubes can be rented from a concession that also sells snacks.

The seasonal water play area is typically open from June to September.

Gina Pimm laughs as she sees how much hair her grandmother, Maddy Holterhus, cut from her pony tail on Wednesday afternoon. Gina was inspired to donate her hair to the Canadian Cancer Society wig program by her grandmother, who has had cancer. During a school assembly at Mountview Elementary in Red Deer, Gina was joined by Taylor Krause, 12, her mother Jolynn Krause and Maryse Guenette, who also had their long hair shortened for the cause. Gina also raised more than $4,022, which will be donated to the Canadian Cancer Society. And donations from staff and students at the school helped to raise the total by $718.

The breakfast is from 8:30 to 9:45 a.m. in the Palmero Room at the Sheraton Hotel. The cost is $15 per person. RSVP to info@rdwa.ca or call Kelly at 403340-7379.

Man assaulted, put in dumpster: police Red Deer RCMP are looking for witnesses to an alleged assault where a man was robbed and dumped into a garbage bin in February 2014.

The Brooks-area man recently reported the 15-monthold crime.

Police say on Feb. 20 or 21, 2014, the victim was passing through Red Deer when he met two men and went to a local pub with them.

The victim alleges while he was standing outside the pub, he was assaulted and robbed and left unconscious Police seek this man, a potential witness. in a nearby dumpster. The next morning, he regained consciousness when the waste management company emptied the dumpster into its truck.

The window was open and the driver heard the victim calling for help. He stopped the machinery to discover the victim climbing out of the back of the truck.

The victim sustained a number of injuries. He was taken to hospital and treated for his injuries.

Mulder, Curtis lead United Way A Red Deer city councillor and the city manager will lead the 2015 United Way of Central Alberta fundraising campaign.

Councillor Lynn Mulder and city manager Craig Curtis will be co-chairs of the campaign.

It is the second year that Mulder will be in the cochair role.

“In difficult economic times, most of us feel stress and uncertainty, but that’s how people in our community feel every single day. It is these individuals and families who will need our help more than ever,” Mulder said.

“We are committed to encouraging community support for the 2015 campaign.”

Curtis said he was delighted to work with Mulder to lead the current campaign.

“United Way’s broad reach allows me to serve people across the region and make sure that programs and services will continue to help them,” Curtis said.

Last year, the campaign raised about $1.9 million for Central Alberta agencies.

Trial date for violent hostage taking A new trial date has been set for a Ponoka man accused in a violent hostage taking and vehicle rampage in Red Deer in 2013.

Joseph Paul Donovan, 36, is charged with assaulting a police officer, forcible confinement, assault with a weapon, uttering threats, failing to stop at the scene of a collision and dangerous driving causing bodily harm.

He will stand trial in Red Deer provincial court on Feb. 19, 2016. He entered not guilty pleas to the charges on Sept. 10, 2014.

It is alleged by Red Deer RCMP that a motorist struck two pedestrians, three vehicles and a fence during the 20-minute incident in the Highland Green area on July 13, 2013.

Hockey caravan in Sylvan Lake Central Albertans will get one last chance to check out a hockey caravan that has been touring the country since last July.

Recession unavoidable for Alberta: report CONFERENCE BOARD OF CANADA

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — A recession is unavoidable in Alberta this year, according to a report by the Conference Board of Canada.

The province’s economy is expected to shrink by 0.7 per cent in 2015, even though oil prices seem to have stabilized at around US$60 a barrel, the Ottawa-based economic think tank said Thursday.

Next year, it’s calling for modest growth of 1.1 per cent.

“Alberta’s economic performance will be underwhelming this year and

next, especially compared with recent years,” said Marie-Christine Bernard, with the Conference Board.

“Oil prices remain well below break-even levels for most new projects in the oilpatch and conditions are not expected to turn around until sometime next year.”

The board expects 24,000 job losses in the construction and mining sectors, which will, in turn, hurt the housing market and retail sales.

But the good news is the job market in other non-energy sectors appears to be holding up relatively well and the unemployment rate in the province is expected to average 5.6 per cent this

year, lower than the national average.

Also on the positive side, the energy industry has been able to boost production thanks to past investments, and oilsands crude has been able to make its way to the lucrative Gulf Coast market.

The economic hit this time around is not expected to be as severe as during the 2008 and 2009 downturn, when there was a widespread financial crisis.

The forecast did not incorporate potential changes under the new provincial NDP government, such as higher corporate taxes and royalties.

Alberta’s premier is still getting her feet wet in going through the province’s struggling economy but suggested the Conference Board report isn’t

that much of a surprise.

“We’re getting a number of different projections and we’re looking at all of them right now,” Notley said in Calgary.

“We know that due to circumstances well beyond our control that our economy is a volatile one and we may be struggling a bit but we’re going to look at all of the reindicators and will act appropriately.”

While oil-producing Alberta, Saskatchewan and Newfoundland and Labrador are being hurt by low prices, British Columbia, Manitoba and Central Canada are expected to post the strongest economic growth over the next two years.

TSX lower as upbeat bank earnings fail to impress WALL STREET ALSO RETREATS

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — The Toronto stock market pulled back slightly Thursday as traders appeared to take a negative view of details behind otherwise upbeat earnings reports from most of Canada’s big banks.

The S&P/TSX composite index closed down 3.47 points at 15,107.00 despite earnings reports now from five of the country’s six largest banks, all of which have beat analyst expectations.

The last of the Big Six is Scotiabank (TSX:BNS), which is set to report on Friday.

However, analysts have pointed out that most of the earnings have come from the banks’ capital markets business, which many view as less sustainable than those derived from personal and commercial banking.

Banks reporting Thursday included CIBC (TSX:CM), which almost tripled its net earnings in the second quarter, and Royal Bank (TSX:RY), which boosted net earnings 14 per cent.

Both saw their share prices improve marginally.

TD (TSX:TD) said its net profits fell seven per cent but, after stripping out one-time items that included a $337-million restructuring charge, it joined the other two in beating expectations on adjusted profit. Still, its stock fell 61 cents, or 1.09 per cent, to $55.37.

Shares of the Bank of Montreal (TSX:BMO) and National Bank (TSX:NA), both of which reported a sharp increase in profits on Wednesday, also declined marginally on Thursday.

The loonie was up 0.16 of a U.S. cent at 80.42 cents.

In commodities, traders put the brakes on three days of declines in oil prices as the July contract for benchmark West Texas Intermediate crude gained 17 cents to US$57.68 a barrel.

However, the important TSX energy sector was still down 0.06 per cent.

The metals and mining sector was also a drag, down 0.45 per cent as July copper slipped a fraction of a penny to US$2.77 a pound.

The gold sector was the leading advancer as August bullion gained $2.30 to US$1,188.80 an ounce.

In New York, the Dow Jones industrial average was down 36.87 points at 18,126.12, while the Nasdaq lost 8.61 points to 5,097.98 after soaring to a record high close Wednesday and the S&P 500 gave back 2.69 points to 2,120.79.

Observers said Wall Street traders appeared to be put off by disquieting news from overseas that began with a big sell-off in China that saw the Shanghai Composite plunge 6.5 per cent.

Also top of mind was the Greek sovereign debt crisis as traders continued to get mixed messages about a possible deal between Greece and its creditors.

Failure to secure such a deal could lead to Athens defaulting on its debts, with knock-on effects for the euro and the world economy.

In economic news, Statistics Canada reported the country’s current account deficit widened to $17.5 billion in the first quarter, driven largely by the collapse in oil prices.

That was much worse than the revised $13.1-billion deficit in the fourth quarter of 2014, but better than the consensus forecast of an and marketing for Garage World, said the concept of providing a safe, secure storage, workshop or studio space has gone over well, with only three of the original 19 bays left.

Senate Commerce Committee member Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla. displays the parts and function of a defective airbag made by Takata of Japan that has been linked to multiple deaths and injuries in cars driven in the US, during the committee’s hearing on Capitol Hill in Washington, Nov.20, 2014. The federal government says an expanded recall of faulty Takata airbags covers about 1.2 million vehicles in Canada.

Takata airbag recall expanded to more than 1.5 million vehicles in Canada TORONTO — A worldwide recall of faulty airbags made by Japan’s Takata Corp. has now widened to include more than 1.5 million vehicles in Canada.

Transport Canada released a detailed list of the affected vehicles on Thursday following Takata’s agreement with the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration last week to declare 33.8 million airbags in the U.S. defective.

That makes this the largest auto recall in U.S. history.

The list of affected vehicles in Canada was posted online and includes the Honda Civic, Accord and CR-V, Chrysler products including the Dodge Ram and the Chrysler 300, BMW sedans and the X5, and Ford’s Ranger and Mustang.

Most of the affected models are from the 2001 to 2011 model years, although more recent Ford Mustang models are also covered by the recall.

The full list of the vehicles included in the recall can be found on Ottawa’s HealthyCanadians.ca website.

Canadians who want to check whether their vehicles are included in the recall can enter their vehicle identification number on their auto manufacturer’s website or by entering their vehicle’s make, model and year on Transport Canada’s road safety recalls database on its website.

People are urged to contact their local dealers for free servicing if their vehicles are covered by the recall.

The Takata airbag recall began in

2008 over concerns that the airbag inflators could explode with too much force, spewing metal shrapnel into drivers or passengers when deployed.

The faulty airbags have caused more than 100 injuries and six deaths worldwide. But Transport Canada says it has no reports of any deaths or injuries in Canada from consumers or auto manufacturers.

Several automakers including Honda, Chrysler and BMW have already addressed the faulty airbags in some models in previous mandated recalls or voluntary efforts.

Honda said in a statement Thursday that it began a campaign to replace the airbag inflators on its 704,700 affected vehicles in December.

Chrysler Canada reported a voluntary recall of more than 258,000 vehicles in January. In an emailed statement, spokeswoman Lou Ann Gosselin said the company knows of only one injury related to the defect.

The 2008 Takata recall began with two Acura models and two Honda models produced in 2001 and 2002 and by 2014 had expanded to include vehicles from Mazda, Toyota, General Motors, Nissan, BMW and Subaru, as well as more Honda models.

It will take some time before Takata and other suppliers can provide the 33.8 million inflators needed to fix all the cars involved in the global recall.

The company said it is currently producing 500,000 inflators per month, with plans to produce up to one million per month by September

Dorel hopes to cycle its way to growth by raising bike prices

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — Dorel Industries says bicycling enthusiasts around the world are facing higher prices as manufacturers adjust to a stronger U.S. dollar and introduce new lines of more expensive rides.

The Montreal-based company anticipates a turnaround in its sports business in the second half of the year after currency headwinds caused revenues to drop nearly five per cent in the first quarter.

Dorel, the company behind the Cannondale and Schwinn bicycles, says it is cutting costs, raising prices and introducing the most new bike platforms in its history.

It is also seeking to bolster its parts and accessories business with the introduction of a carbon-based saddle, created in collaboration with Airbus.

Contaminated bags of sand and oil are loaded into a dumpster in Manhattan Beach, Calif. on Thursday. Popular beaches along nearly 11 km of Los Angeles-area coastline are off-limits to surfing and swimming after balls of tar washed ashore. The beaches along south Santa Monica Bay appeared virtually free of oil Thursday morning after an overnight cleanup, but officials aren’t sure if more tar will show up.

The lightweight Fabric ALM saddle recently began to sell in Canada, with prices ranging between US$200 and US$500.

Dorel (TSX:DII.B) hopes the seat, made without foam or padding, along with a new clip-on water bottle, will be among the products that can help expand its parts and accessories business to industry norms.

The higher margin accessories business is a US$10 billion global industry.

While most bike makers derive up to 20 per cent of their sales from parts and accessories, Dorel’s take is less than three per cent. Dorel says research and development investments in new bikes and Cannondale and GT parts and accessories should allow that part of its business to double or triple in sales in the coming years.The company says it is introducing nine new bike platforms this year, including some it has yet to reveal.

A quick look at what increased CPP contributions could look like

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — The debate over retirement and the role of the Canada Pension Plan is in full swing on Parliament Hill. Here’s a quick look at what the possibilities could mean for you: Increased mandatory contributions: Past proposals have suggested raising the contribution limit on CPP and the maximum benefit. Under that plan, those who make more than the current maximum pensionable amount would end up paying more into the system, but would stand to receive a larger pension. However, lower income workers would see little change in their paycheque and the benefits that they would receive in retirement.

Another way would be to increase the premium rate paid by workers and employers to help fund an increase in the size of pension you receive when you finally quit working. Regardless of how much they make, workers would have to pay more under this scenario, but they would also see the size of their pensions increase.

A mandatory increase could also be a combination of both a higher contribution limit and benefit as well as an increase in the premium rate and final pay-out for workers. This would have the broadest impact on increasing the amount people receive in retirement and what they have to pay.

The downside to a mandatory increase is that both employers and workers will pay more in what would

be forced savings. The Conservatives have called this a tax increase and ruled it out as an option. It might also mean that people put less into their RRSP to make up for the extra amounts they are paying into the CPP. Voluntary contributions: Canadians could choose to invest their money with the CPP like they do with other investments. Contributions over and above the required amount would invested alongside the rest of the fund. In doing this, contributors would benefit from investing alongside the big pension fund and its ability to make investments that an individual might not otherwise be able to.

However, tracking what could be millions of individual accounts would add cost to the system, offsetting at least some of the economies of scale gained by investing with the big fund.

Questions about how easily investors would be able to take money out of the fund would have to be answered. If money can be withdrawn easily, it will complicate the fund’s ability to make long-term investments. But if investors are locked in or face high fees or penalties to withdraw, investing would be less attractive. Under a voluntary system, decisions would have to be made about what happens to the extra money saved at retirement. Options could include having it roll over into an investor’s RRIF or improving a person’s CPP benefit. This scenario would also put the CPP in competition with the mutual fund industry.

Lifespan lengthening for people with MS BUT THERE’S STILL A 7.5-YEAR GAP: STUDY ‘THERE ACTUALLY WAS IN BOTH GROUPS — MS AND THE GENERAL POPULATION — AN IMPROVEMENT ON LIFE EXPECTANCY IN PEOPLE BORN IN MORE RECENT YEARS, WHICH IS WHAT WE’VE ALL RECOGNIZED.’

highest rate of multiple sclerosis in the world. Marrie said the reason for that

isn’t fully known and is in fact likely a combination of factors.

—DR. RUTH ANN MARRIE UNIVERSITY OF MANITOBA

TORONTO — Life expectancy for people who have multiple sclerosis is lengthening but is still about 7.5 years shorter than that of people who do not have the disease, a new study suggests.

A team of researchers led by Dr. Ruth Ann Marrie of the University of Manitoba looked at health system billing data and death records in that province over a 27-year period covering the fiscal years 1984 to 2011.

They identified nearly 5,800 people with multiple sclerosis and compared them to roughly 29,000 other people who were similar in age, gender, and region of residence. But the people in the larger group did not have MS. For the people with the neurological disease, the median length of life was 75.9 years. For those without MS, the median was 83.4 years.

Life expectancy for both groups lengthened over the period of the study, Marrie said in an interview.

“There actually was in both groups — MS and the general population — an improvement in life expectancy in people born in more recent years, which is what we’ve all recognized,” she said.

“So we did see an improvement over time. It’s just there’s still a gap.”

Why the difference? The way this study was structured doesn’t provide that answer, Marrie said.

She and her co-authors did look at a bunch of other conditions — called co-

morbidities in medical parlance — to see if they influenced how long people lived; things like heart disease, chronic lung disease, diabetes, depression and anxiety.

Marrie admitted she thought having one or several comorbidities would take a greater toll on people with MS. That wasn’t the case.

“That’s actually not what I expected to find, but it’s a good thing,” she said.

The research was done in Manitoba but likely has applicability to other parts of Canada, suggested an MS expert who was not involved in the work.

“MS doesn’t shorten life expectancy by much,” said Dr. Paul O’Connor, a neurologist and head of the MS clinic at St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto.

O’Connor said the increasing life expectancy for MS patients is at least in part due to the availability of better treatments. Still, he said, the number of years people with MS might expect to live reveals nothing about the toll the disease takes on quality of life.

Multiple sclerosis can produce a wide and debilitating array of symptoms including balance and mobility problems, difficulty swallowing, cognitive issues, fatigue and more.

“Even if you’re not in a wheelchair the fact that you can’t see properly, the fact that you can’t move properly, that you can’t run and you can’t go for a walk for several kilometres — these are all major, major negatives for quality of life.”

Any communication after that should be up to him.

Dear Annie: I’d like to say something about people who disregard their family members who require care.

My mother had a heart valve replaced when she was 97. Eighteen months later, she had a stroke and has been in a nursing home since.

By the time she uses up all of her savings and is eligible for government assistance, she will have expended close to $300,000.

My family realizes that this is my mother’s money until she dies. We have picked up the remaining costs, including supplemental health insurance, hearing aids, clothing, etc.

My mother just turned 100. She can walk with a walker and one person assisting. But I am at the nursing home 12 hours a day to provide the therapy that Medicare doesn’t.

The staff here is kind and caring, but they have a limited amount of time,

so I help out any way I can. I have seen residents who have no one to visit or keep their interest piqued. They tend to die sooner than patients who have visitors.

I hope those uncaring people get the same treatment when they are old.

— Pat Dear Pat: There is no question that regular visits, especially those that encourage conversation and exercise, are beneficial for residents of nursing homes and any seniors who live alone.

We also know that doing so regularly requires commitment and dedication, and not everyone cares enough to put forth the effort. Your family sounds wonderful. Bless you.

Pranksters can crash iPhones by sending a certain text message

ANNIE ANNIE

HOROSCOPES

SUN SIGNS

A newly-discovered glitch in Apple’s software can cause iPhones to mysteriously shut down when they receive a certain text message.

Apple says it’s aware of the problem and is working on a fix. But some pranksters are sharing information about the glitch on social media and using it to crash other peoples’ phones.

The problem only occurs when the iPhone receives a message with a specific string of characters, including some Arabic characters, according to several tech blogs.

When an iPhone isn’t being used, it typically shows a shortened version of the message on the phone’s lock screen. That shortened combination of characters apparently triggers the crash.

Affected phones will restart automatically. Owners can prevent the problem by using phone settings to turn off message “previews”.

THE SECRET IS OUT AFTER RECEIVING A GREAT RECEPTION DURING A RECENT U.S. TOUR, THE WET SECRETS ARE READY TAKE THEIR MUSIC TO THE NEXT LEVEL

BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF

When The Wet Secrets play in Red Deer, it will be a homecoming for drummer Trevor Anderson — as well as the vintage Red Deer Royals uniforms the musicians will be wearing.

The Edmonton-based dance band was cofounded in 2005 as an “art stunt” by Anderson, who’s from Red Deer. Surprised to gain a fan following, group members decided to get serious about the venture and see how far it could go.

They got a good indication

nine years later, when their alt. pop/rock band won the richest prize in Alberta’s music history — $100,953 in the Peak Performance competition last November.

Now the Wet Secrets are all set to play on Thursday, June 4, at Bo’s Bar and Grill in Red Deer. And Anderson is excited to be facing a hometown crowd, with his mom and old friends in the audience.

“It’ll be great to play there in our uniforms.

It’s like they’ve come full circle,” said the Red Deer Royals alumni, who bought 20 redand-white marching band outfits after they were replaced several years ago.

Members of The Wet Secrets sport the jaunty attire from the 1980s every time they take the stage — including during a recent wellreceived U.S. tour. The band played in Austin, Texas, and the SXSW festival, then up the Pacific coast in San Diego, Los Angeles and San Francisco.

“We got a great reception,” said Anderson, who posed, incongruously, with fellow band members in their woolen finery in the deserty Joshua Tree National Park in Southern California.

Young soloists featured as RDSO season draws to a close WITH PICS TO BE EMAILED

BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF The Red Deer Symphony Orchestra season promises to end in grandiose — but populist — style.

Maurice Ravel’s beloved Bolero is on the program, along with another crowd pleaser, Otterino Respighi’s Pines of Rome, on Saturday, June 6, at the Red Deer College Arts Centre.

The two distinctive and unusual works will be sandwiching single movements from Antonin Dvorak’s Violin Concerto in A Minor and Gordon Jacob’s Concerto for Basoon and Strings.

These bright movements will feature two young soloists who won two Red Deer Kiwanis Music Festivals — violinist Heidi Baumbach (the 2013 winner) and bassoonist Pablo Montes (the 2014 winner).

Venezuelan-born Montes was a principal bassoonist in the New World Symphony and Simon Bolivar Youth Orchestra in South America before coming to Alberta to study at the Canadian University College in 2010. Upon graduation, he was accepted in the University of Alberta master’s degree program, and was a scholarship student at both universities.

Baumbach played with the Calgary Youth Orchestra, the Canadian University College Chamber Orchestra, and has been a soloist throughout Canada.

The former member of the Mount Royal Academy for Gifted Youth is now completing her bachelor’s degree at Burman University (the former Canadian University College).

As Baumbach was sidelined by injury and couldn’t perform with the RDSO last year, the orchestra’s music director Claude Lapalme invited her back to solo at this concert.

He considers the season-closing Bold Bolero program to be full of accessible, “impressive” music, some of which was created by two of the world’s savviest orchestrators.

Ravel was one of them. His Bolero, written as a “choreographic poem” for a dancer, is a minimalistic composition of two melodies that are each repeated and alternated. Lapalme said the only things Ravel does to pique listener interest is vary the kinds of instruments that are played as the melodies are repeated — and gradually crank up the volume to amplify the tune’s intensity.

“Nothing like that had ever been written before then,” added Lapalme — and the hypnotic effect is unforgettable.

Near the end of the 16-minute Bolero, Ravel does something else that’s simple, yet “incredible” — he raises the key from a constant C major to E major for about three bars. The effect is like a splash of red paint in the middle of a neutral background, said Lapalme, who feels the work concludes almost in apocalyptic fashion.

“The effect is grandiose. It’s one of the great moments in music.”

Respighi was another genius at orchestration, said Lapalme. And his four-movement Pines of Rome work is his most famous work — even more recognized than his Ancient Aires and Dances.

The “difficult” work and was meant to evoke the tall, dark pines visible at four Roman locations: the Villa Borghese, a Roman catacomb, the Janiculum (second tallest hill near Rome), and the Appian Way. Each location is described in a separate movement. The opening villa segment contains all the joy associated with children at play; the second catacomb movement is very dark, reminiscent of monks chanting; the one describing hilltop pines is like a dream sequence; while the triumphant Appian Way movement conjures images of marching Roman soldiers.

A misfire from the first lei CAMERON CROWE’S LATEST ROMANTIC COMEDY AN INCOHERENT MESS OF HAWAIIAN MYTHOLOGY, MILITARY PRIVATIZATION Aloha One star (out of four) Rated: PG-13

BY ANN HORNADAY ADVOCATE NEW SERVICES Somewhere on the incoherent pu pu platter that is Cameron Crowe’s Aloha, a nifty romantic comedy congeals and shrivels, inexplicably untouched.

Crowe — who gave the world such deathless lines as “You had me at ‘Hello,’” the man who put the boom box in Lloyd Dobler’s defiantly upstretched arms — spends so much time running away from his roots in Aloha that he misses the point of his own movie. Only a filmmaker out to put a permanent stake in the rom-com would take a couple of fizzily attractive movie stars and plop them into a story that hinges, not on a long-awaited first kiss or third-act Hail Mary, but sundry bits of arcana involving Hawaiian mythology, military privatization, space weaponry and — be still, our beating hearts — sound transducing.

Aloha is such an inchoate mess, such a forced, insular, self-pleasing misfire, that plotting it out can be a challenge.

Bradley Cooper plays Brian Gilcrest, an Air Force veteran and military contractor who, as he laboriously explains during a saggy opening voice-over, developed an obsession with space as a

As Aloha opens, Gilcrest is returning to Honolulu to nudge the enterprise along by greasing some local palms, especially those of a local king played by real-life native leader Dennis “Bumpy” Kanahele.

Gilcrest’s mission is complicated by two women: the overeager Air Force captain assigned to escort him, and an

old girlfriend who is living on the base with her pilot husband and two kids.

As the wide-eyed, puppyish escort Allison Ng, Emma Stone takes perky officiousness into the realm of derangement; it’s up to each filmgoer to decide for him- or herself whether to believe for one minute that she’s one-quarter native Hawaiian. (The film has come in for criticism for “whitewashing” native Hawaiian culture, notwithstanding Kanahele’s presence and near-constant digressions into the islands’ traditional animist beliefs.)

As Gilcrest’s erstwhile squeeze, Rachel McAdams spends most of Aloha at sea — at least metaphorically — with the unreadable Gilcrest and her unintelligible husband. An early scene where they make goo-goo eyes at one another while a military casket emerges from the belly of a plane he’s just flown in on doesn’t bode well for the taste or tonal dissonance of what’s to come.

Belliveau named Tree House artistic director

BY ADVOCATE STAFF Serge Belliveau has come full-circle.

Once a “kid” acting in Tree House Youth Theatre plays, Belliveau is now the Red Deer company’s new artistic director.

He takes over from Matt Gould, who’s stepping down after 10 years at the helm to pursue other interests.

Belliveau said he looks forward to taking Tree House further along the

STORY FROM PAGE D1

WET SECRETS: New album in 2016 He feels the classic Music Man look gives The Wet Secrets extra stage presence. “There’s a sense of whimsy and nostalgia,” and also showmanship.

The band is now signed to Six Shooter Records, which will help distribute The Wet Secrets’ upcoming fourth album, The Tyranny of Objects, when it’s released in the first half of

positive path Gould has steered the company.

“I am motivated by Matt Gould’s tenure ... and look forward to see where THYT can grow from here.”

Belliveau started acting at Tree House, continued at Red Deer College (he was in Wizard of Oz, Joseph and His Amazing Technicolour Dream Coat, Carousel and A Winter’s Tale) and went on to appear professionally in Prime Stock Theatre productions in Red Deer and across Alberta.

He later studied improvisation in

Toronto before returning to Red Deer to become involved with Bull Skit at the Scott Block.

Belliveau has experience in teaching, directing, writing and acting.

“In many ways I got my start in theatre through THYT. With the experiences learned from this company and my years of training and performances, I intend to pass on my great joy and passion for theatre” to Red Deer youths, he said.

“I cannot wait to see what life lessons they have to teach me in return.”

Kerwin Rittammer, president of the Tree House board, is excited about this new chapter, under Belliveau.

“He has come home to roost and spread the fun, connection, growth experience and character-building that Tree House’s drama programs provide.”

Rittammer thanked Gould “profusely” for his time, energy and passion and wishes him the best in his new endeavours.

Gould’s farewell show, 2 for the Road, is on now at the Scott Block to June 6.

2016.

The new album, with the split single If I Was a Camera/I Can Swing a Hammer, will contrast the everyday world with “the creative life.” And Anderson, who studied theatre at Red Deer College before moving to Edmonton to become a filmmaker, is already thinking of possibilities for music videos.

Some of his previous, non-musicrelated short films — including High Level Bridge, dealing with an Edmonton landmark and suicide spot — have been screened, and sometimes awarded, at festivals around the world. His films have appeared at Sundance, Hot Docs, SXSW, the Berlin and Toronto Film Festivals, and many others. Anderson also studied film at Werner

Herzog’s film school.

He gives his music the same wholehearted devotion whenever he dons his cylindrical busby hat. Anderson doesn’t see a separation between music and film, saying both are parts of his creative life.

And that brings us back to The Wet Secrets’ new album, which will be “about being alive in the physical world and thinking about the metaphysical world.”

Fans can expect more groove as well as beat since saxophonist/percussionist Christian Maslyk joined the band a year ago. Besides Maslyk and Anderson, the other musicians are singer/songwriter and bassist Lyle Bell (also the group’s co-founder), key-

boardist Paul Arnusch, trumpeter Kim Rackel, and trombonist Emma Frazier.

The Wet Secrets’ music, with swampy bass lines, dancing horn players, conga drums and vocal harmonies, has been described as sounding as “if The Stranglers piggybacked Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass through the Rose (Bowl) Parade.”

Anderson said the goal has always been to take the music to the next level. And he believes The Tyranny of Objects will achieve that.

The superheroine scarcity problem COMMENT

Photo by ADVOCATE news services

CBS’s Supergirl is still in development, but the trailer suggests the show will give viewers a number of things superhero stories could use more of.

BY ALYSSA ROSENBERG ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES MSNBC’s Melissa Harris-Perry Show was kind enough to have me on as a guest over Memorial Day weekend to talk pop culture, including sexual assault on Game of Thrones, the challenges of getting to gender parity in the director’s chair and a subject I haven’t had a chance to write on yet, the trailer for CBS’ Supergirl.

During this part of the show, Janet Mock made a point I’d brought up during our commercial break: that we tend to judge superheroines more harshly than their male counterparts because there are simply so few of them and we load them up with the freight of expectations that are impossible even for super-powered people to carry. This is an argument Linda Holmes made with particular eloquence after the recent kerfuffles over the portrayal of Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) in Avengers: Age of Ultron.

“There’s nothing wrong with stories about women who are housewives or stories about women who struggle because they were forcibly prevented from having kids as a condition of whatever mission they chose to undertake,” Holmes wrote. “The problem is that with so few women in superhero movies, each of these portrayals stands not only for the choices (director Joss) Whedon made, but for all the choices he and many others didn’t and don’t make.”

As I approach Supergirl, which I’m hesitant to judge before I see at least a pilot episode, I’m trying a different thought experiment: considering Kara and her journey not simply in the narrow subset of stories about female superheroes, but in the superhero marketplace as a whole. And the trailer for the show gives us a number of things superhero stories

could use more of.

I appreciate Kara’s sheer joy in her powers and the ability to do good, a set of feelings that’s often limited to a single cathartic scene (as in Man of Steel) or that ebbs as a franchise goes on (see Tony Stark’s present psychological torments after the initial delights of Iron Man or Spider-Man’s descent into darkness in two consecutive trilogies). That sensibility has been creeping back into superhero projects like Guardians of the Galaxy and The Flash, but it’s a welcome counterbalance to the idea that with great power comes great grimness. And frankly, I also enjoy that Kara doesn’t seem to be keeping her identity particularly secret: There are only so many tortured revelations and feelings of betrayal that the superhero genre can stand.

Similarly, I kind of like that the trailer at least seems to be leaning into criticisms that Kara ought to be Super Woman rather than Supergirl, and into the specific femaleness of the character in general.

If Clark Kent’s glasses were never a particularly effective way of downplaying Superman’s wild handsomeness and physical strength, it’s all too true that awkward girls in glasses aren’t considered to have real power: either they’re genuinely hopeless or playing at it.

We need more of these specific stories in the same way the Avengers lineup gives us many perspectives on masculinity. But young women are so thoroughly maligned, whether they’re presented as slutty, conniving journalists or hopeless naifs in the Zooey Deschanel model, that I’m all for a show that tackles this particular way of being female. We’ve long been convinced that a man can fly. Now it’s time for us to learn that a young woman can blast off into space with the same heart and power.

Point Break: The enduring appeal of Zen garbage

STORY FROM PAGE D2

ALOHA: Emotional hurdles never higher than bumps Taste-wise, Crowe is at constant pains to prove his bona fides; as with most of his films, he jams as many musical cues as he can into Aloha, from the Who and Hall & Oates to a cameo from slack key guitarist Ledward Kaapana, in an attempt to sell scenes and emotions he otherwise can’t justify or resolve.

While Gilcrest and Ng bounce around scenic locales and featureless motel rooms, they launch into weird, non sequitur-laden jags about space, sex, Gilcrest’s failure to commit and whatever else comes into their dippy, quippy, always camera-ready little heads.

Edited by Crowe’s longtime cutter Joe Hutshing, Aloha has a choppy, scattershot feel that keeps the audience uncomfortably disoriented, as a series of “Where did that come from?” moments accumulate into a finale as unaffecting as it is unearned. (A penultimate passage, when Gilcrest exchanges supposedly cathartic glances with a supporting character, is particularly puzzling, given that her inner life has received zero attention for the preceding hour and a half.)

The emotional hurdles are never higher than mere bumps, which Crowe quickly tries to smooth over with a patch of quirky dialogue, an adorable musical interlude or putting someone in a silly hat.

In fact, the most improbably satisfying moments of Aloha belong to a blowhard general played by Alec Baldwin, whose most florid outburst against Gilcrest’s entitled self-satisfaction could easily be

For men and women of a certain age who grew up watching Utah (Keanu Reeves, left) endlessly chase Bodhi (Patrick Swayze, right) on cable, Point Break is perhaps the epitome of Zen garbage. themes as The Hurt Locker. And this very seriousness makes Point Break camp, which is why people love it enough to stage live readings of the script.

“Camp, the essential element is seriousness, a seriousness that fails,” Susan Sontag explained in her landmark 1964 essay Notes on Camp. “Of course, not all seriousness that fails can be redeemed as Camp.

Only that which has the proper mixture of the exag-

directed at the very movie he’s in.

To quote Amy Pascal, the former Sony co-president whose hacked emails last winter revealed her lack of faith in Aloha, “It never, not even once, ever works.” As with many of the leaked exchanges with her colleagues, Pascal’s words formed a candid tutorial in Hollywood sausage-making and, in a sobering sense, the principles that guide our common culture and chief export commodity.

As Pascal reminded her colleagues, the studio had “a lot of dough” tied up in Aloha, which makes its artistic failure that much more depressing:

gerated, the fantastic, the passionate, and the naïve.”

Point Break, as Zen garbage, has just this magic combination. Reeves is lovably terrible — his infamous line “I am an F-B-I agent!” delivered so poorly that it earned a Funny or Die tribute almost two decades later. Gary Busey, as Reeves’s cranky supervisor, seems imported from an alternate dimension.

Spoiler alert: the film ends after Utah jumps out of a plane without a parachute to arrest Bodhi — only to free him so Bodhi can commit a kind of ritual suicide by wave. Then, dramatically, Utah tosses his FBI badge into the surf.

Point Break, of course, didn’t invent camp — or even Zen garbage, for that matter. Western culture has long borrowed from the East, offering its peculiar version of Buddhism-lite. See: novels by W. Somerset Maugham and Jack Kerouac; the music of John Coltrane; yoga at the gym.

But for men and women of a certain age who grew up watching Utah endlessly chase Bodhi on cable, Point Break is perhaps the epitome of Zen garbage.

“It is silly, yes, but aware of its own silliness — and, better yet, transcends its silliness,” Patrick Bromley wrote at F This Movie in 2013. “The greatness of the movie is that it begins with a ridiculous premise and takes it completely seriously, reflecting on concepts of masculinity and action movie tropes at the same time that it philosophizes about the spirituality of things like surfing, skydiving and violence. And kicking much a_.”

Let’s only hope the remake can hold a lavenderor sandalwood-scented candle to the original.

“With the whole ‘90s surfer-grunge vibe now out, the makers are going to have to work hard to capture much of what made the original so singular: its ocean-centric spirituality,” the Guardian wrote last year. “There were characters called War Child and Little Hands, parties around camp fires, and dawn wave-catching sessions.”

Those backing the new Point Break, which comes out on Dec. 25, may need the help of a higher power.

As Utah told Bodhi: “Vaya con dios.”

Sony makes its money on Spider-Man sequels, Smurfs and Paul Blart, but it’s also one of the few big studios left that tries to make the kind of mid-range movie that Hollywood supposedly doesn’t produce anymore — romantic comedies, adult dramas, political thrillers by the likes of David O. Russell, David Fincher, Paul Greengrass and, yes, Cameron Crowe. They might have put their money on the wrong horse this time, but we should hope and pray that Sony at least stays in the race.

Hornaday is a Washington Post reviewer.

In 1991, what appeared to be a serious movie was released by 20th Century Fox, a serious movie studio.

The movie, Point Break, featured two serious movie stars, Patrick Swayze and Keanu Reeves. It was helmed by serious talent Kathryn Bigelow, who would become the first female director to win an Academy Award (for The Hurt Locker, in 2008). It cost serious money — $24 million — and made very serious money, grossing more than $80 million dollars.

And now, it’s getting a 100 per cent serious $100 million remake.

Yet, Point Break was transparently ridiculous.

Plot: Reeves is Johnny Utah, a curiously named FBI agent who must go undercover as a surfer to infiltrate a gang of surfer-bankrobbers led by Swayze, aka Bodhi — short for bodhisattva, an enlightened being in Buddhism. Though it is Utah’s mission to apprehend Bodhi, he falls more than a little in love with the man, who robs banks wearing a Ronald Reagan mask, and his pseudo-Zen lifestyle. (Utah’s love affair with a female surfer, played by Lori Petty in a startlingly Reeves-like haircut, seems barely worth mentioning.) These are armed felons with a point to make.

“This was never about money for us,” Bodhi explains in a rousing monologue. “It was about us against the system. That system that kills the human spirit. We stand for something. To those dead souls inching along the freeways in their metal coffins, we show them that the human spirit is still alive.”

Would that Al Capone had had such Walt Whitman-like aims. Point Break is, more or less, Zen garbage: a movie whose antiheroes swat at transcendence though they are really just thugs. Even Swayze bought in.

“Bodhi was a once-in-a-blue-moon character, the bad guy whom you love because you believe what he

believes in — until he believes it too far and breaks the law and kills someone,” Swayze, with wife Lisa Niemi, wrote the year he died. “I loved Bodhi because I identified with his quest for perfection and the ultimate adrenaline high.”

Ah, yes: A quest for perfection — achieved by robbing banks. Though absurd, Bodhi is serious, as is the film. Point Break is as violent and well-shot as Heat, as convinced of the relevance of its purported

You left us beautiful memories, Your love is still our guide.

And although we cannot see you, You are always at our side.

Our family chain is broken, And nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one, The chain will link again.

Indians scramble for shade, water HEAT WAVE DEATH TOLL PASSES 1,400

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS HYDERABAD, India — Eating onions, lying in the shade and splashing into rivers, Indians were doing whatever they could Thursday to stay cool during a brutal heat wave that has killed more than 1,400 in the past month.

But some had no choice but to venture into the heat.

“Either we have to work, putting our lives under threat, or we go without food,” farmer Narasimha said in the badly hit Nalgonda district of southern Andhra Pradesh state.

Meteorological officials have said the heat would likely last several more days — scorching crops, killing wildlife and endangering anyone labouring outdoors. Officials warned people to stay out of the sun, cover their heads and drink plenty of water. Still, poverty forced many to work despite the risks.

“If I don’t work due to the heat, how will my family survive?” said construction worker Mahalakshmi, who earns a daily wage of about $3.10 in Nizamabad, a city about 150 kilometres (93 miles) north of the state capital of Hyderabad.

Most of the 1,412 heat-related deaths so far have occurred in Andhra Pradesh and neighbouring Telangana, where temperatures have soared up to 47 degrees Celsius (117 degrees Fahrenheit), according to government figures.

“The rains which have eluded us for the last couple of years have created serious drought conditions,” said state minister K.T. Rama Rao in Telangana, which was carved out of Andhra Pradesh as a separate state just last year.

“This is unprecedented ... so there is a little bit of panic,” he said. “Hopefully the monsoon will be on time. Hopefully we will receive rain very, very soon.”

Among the most vulnerable were the elderly and the poor, many of whom live in slums or farm huts with no access to air conditioners or sometimes even

Salesboys sit in a shop selling air coolers on a hot summer day in Ahmadabad, India, Thursday. Eating onions, lying in the shade and splashing into rivers, Indians were doing whatever they could Thursday to stay cool during a brutal heat wave that has killed more than 1,000 in the past month. shade-giving trees.

Those who were able avoided the outdoors, leaving many streets in normally busy cities nearly deserted.

“With so many people dying due to the heat, we are locking the children inside,” teacher Satyamurthy said in Khammam, which registered its highest temperature in 67 years on Saturday when the thermometer hit 48 degrees Celsius (more than 118 Fahrenheit).

Cooling monsoon rains were expected to arrive next week in the southern state of Kerala and gradually advance north in coming weeks.

Until then, volunteers were passing out pouches of salted buttermilk or raw onions — both thought to be hydrating. People used handkerchiefs and scarves to block searing winds and stifling air from their faces.

Across the country, teenagers flocked to water basins and rivers to cool off. Many adults took refuge atop woven cots in the shade.

Newspapers devoted full pages to covering the heat wave and its effects, with headlines saying “Homeless bake in tin shelters” and “birds & animals drop dead.”

Alberta initiatives to combat climate change For those who missed the last column, the discourse concerned an Alberta-created corporation that has a mandate “to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to climate change by supporting the discovery, development and deployment of technologies.”

The Climate Change and Emissions Management Corporation (CCEMC) twice yearly LORNE issues a grand OJA challenge to “anyone,” to submit proposals for projects that will make “significant and verifiable GHG reductions.”

These proposals must fit into one of the seven eligible categories. This fall, in Sept of 2015, $15 million will be awarded in grants.

ENERGY

The seven categories are Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), Renewable Energy, Clean Energy, Energy Efficiency, Climate Change Adaptation, Carbon Uses, and Biological.

To quickly recount, in the Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) class, there are eight different projects, seven of which are in Canada, one in Utah, but notably one of the seven is in Joffre and eventually will capture CO2 from Nova Chemicals gas powered steam boiler.

In the Renewable Energy Category, 14 ventures are situated all across Alberta. A partial list of the projects locations includes Lacombe, Drayton Valley, Medicine Hat, the MD of Taber, Brooks, Edmonton, Red Deer, Lethbridge, and Slave Lake.

The Clean Energy group has 12 undertakings that reduce emissions from the burning of coal in generation stations, to “dual fuel” technologies to reducing CO2 emissions from heavy duty diesel motors with the injection of compressed natural gas into the engines as they operate.

The Energy Efficiency category has

13 projects. Starting from Grand Prairie and its Weyerhaeuser evaporator installation, to a thermally driven refrigeration cycle process from Calgary based May Rueben Technologies that will use high performance heat pumps to produce clean energy.

Climate change adaptation is the smallest of all seven with only three projects; one on the South Saskatchewan River basin, one which monitors native tree species, and the last which undertakes studies three of which involve the grasslands, songbirds, and burrowing owls adapting to climate change.

The second last class of projects is Carbon Uses. It is the largest of the categories with 24 diverse funded ventures.

These projects range from production of syngas and fuel, to CO2 into graphene, and CO2 into fertilizer, as well as the commercial production of hydrochloric acid from the capture of CO2.

The final of the seven categories is biological. 12 projects grace this class of funded endeavours. Alberta is one

of North America’s largest beef producing areas. Genetic improvement and feed studies are being under taken to see if changes can be made with the animals on our rangelands to reduce bovine GHG emissions.

Other schemes include forays into genomics which studies bacterial populations in the rhizospheres of wheat and canola.

The intent is to develop “Intelligent Nano-fertilizers” to increase nitrogen use efficiencies and reduce GHGS, while lowering costs to farmers.

I have only briefly touched on the projects funded by the CCEMC, each of these projects is deserving of further investigation; checkout: www.ccemc. ca. Unique Albertan initiatives directly tackling the world’s greenhouse gas issues.

Fossil jaws, teeth show Lucy’s species not alone in Africa

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — A fossil find adds another twig to the human evolutionary tree, giving further evidence that the well-known “Lucy” species had company in what is now Ethiopia, a new study says.

A lower jaw, plus jaw fragments and teeth, dated at 3.3 million to 3.5 million years old, were found in the Afar region of northern Ethiopia four years ago.

That shows a second human ancestor lived in about the same area and time frame as Lucy’s species, researchers said. But not everyone agrees.

In a paper released Wednesday by the journal Nature, the researchers announce the new find and assign it to a species they dubbed Australopithecus deyiremeda.

In the Afar language the second name means “close relative,” referring to its apparent relationship to later members of the evolutionary tree.

But nobody knows just how it’s related to our own branch of the family tree, said Yohannes Haile-Selassie of the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, who led the discovery team.

Our branch, which includes Homo sapiens and our closest extinct relatives, arose from the evolutionary grouping that now includes the new creature as well as Lucy’s species.

The new arrival, and the possibility of still more to come, complicates the question of which species led to our branch, he said.

Previously, fossilized foot bones found in 2009 near the new discovery site had indicated the presence of a second species.

But those bones were not assigned to any species, and it’s not clear whether they belong to the newly identified species either, Haile-Selassie said.

If they don’t, that would indicate yet another species from the same time and region as Lucy’s species, Australopithecus afarensis Bernard Wood of George Washington University, who didn’t participate in the new work, said the discovery provides “compelling evidence” that a second creature lived in the vicinity of Lucy’s species at the same time.

The next question, he said, is how they shared the landscape.

“These fossils certainly create an agenda for a lot of interesting research that’s going to be done in the next decade,” Wood said.

As evidence that the new fossils represent a previously unknown species, the researchers cite specific anatomical differences with known fossils.

But Tim White, a University of California, Berkeley, expert in human evolution, was unimpressed.

He said he thinks the fossils actually come from Lucy’s species.

An undated photo provided by the Cleveland Museum of Natural History shows a cast of an upper jaw fragments and teeth of Australopithecus deyiremeda. The fossil find in Ethiopia adds another twig to the human evolutionary tree, giving further evidence that the well-known Lucy species had company, researchers say.

In a paper released Wednesday by the journal Nature, Yohannes Haile-Selassie of the Cleveland Museum of Natural History and colleagues announce the new find and assigned it to a species they dubbed, Australopithecus deyiremeda. In the Afar language the second name means “close relative,” referring to its apparent relationship to later members of the evolutionary tree.

“Anatomical variation within a biological species is normal,” he said in an email.

“That’s why so many announcements of this sort are quickly overturned,” he wrote.

Climate change to worsen ragweed counts, study shows WASHINGTON — Global warming will bring much more sneezing and wheezing to Europe by mid-century, a new study says.

Ragweed pollen levels are likely to quadruple for much of Europe because warmer temperatures will allow the plants to take root more, and carbon dioxide will make them grow more, says a study published Monday in the journal Nature Climate Change.

Other factors not related to man-made climate change will also contribute.

Ragweed isn’t native to Europe, but was imported from America in the late 19th century.

It hasn’t quite become established all over the continent, at least not yet.

Parts of France, the United Kingdom and Germany don’t have the allergens now, but they will by 2050, says study co-author Robert Vautard, a climate scientist at the Climate and

Environment Sciences Laboratory in Yvette, France.

That includes Paris, where Vautard lives.

“As warmer temperatures and higher carbon dioxide concentrations allow ragweed to become more vigorous and invade further north, we can expect to see many more allergy sufferers,” said Daniel Chapman, an invasive species expert at the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology in Edinburgh, Scotland.

He did not take part in the study, but praised it.

The researchers used computer simulations with different scenarios of carbon dioxide pollution for the next 35 years. And if the world doesn’t make a large change in emissions from coal, oil and gas, the computer runs predicted increases in the annual pollen count of 100 to 1,100 per cent, with a general average of around 300 per cent, Vautard said.

Land use and the way the non-native plants take over new areas account for

about one-third of the increased ragweed counts, with climate change the rest, Vautard said.

Earlier studies show that ragweed pollen season in North America has already extended by as much as three weeks in some northern locales, partly because of climate change.

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency climate scientist Michael Kolian, who wasn’t part of the new study,

said the French study fits with previous research and the U.S. National Climate Assessment, which concluded “climate change, as well as increased carbon dioxide by itself, can contribute to increased production of plantbased allergens.”
