Apple contacts family of teen burned in iPhone blaze
NEW WHEELS
BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF Apple has reached out to the family of the Rimbey teen who was burned by his iPhone 5c. Josh Schultz, 16, suffered third-degree burns after his smartphone caught fire while he was sleeping in his bedroom in the basement on May 11. The fire spread throughout the basement, forcing the evacuation of the family home. Tests are being conducted in a lab to determine what caused the iPhone to catch on fire. Rimbey fire chief John Weisgerber said he was still waiting to hear the results on Friday. Apple has requested the fire investigator’s report. Rob Schultz, the teen’s father, said the family has been in contact with Apple representatives including engineers since the fire more than three weeks ago. “They are interested in what happened,” said Schultz. “They watch the news, too. They want facts and the opinions of the investigators.” Schultz said they asked about high temperatures alarms, phone use and practices. iPhone products often display a “high temperature” alarm on the screen. “I have seen it on a iPhone 5s because it was on a dash of the vehicle and it got really hot because of the sun,” said Schultz. “But I never ever saw it on an iPhone 5c and it ran hot to hold onto with no alarms.” Schultz said he does not have any ill will towards the phone maker. The family, who all use Apple products, purchased a new iPhone 5s for Josh. “The key message is to be careful and to feel it when it is charging no matter what product it is and make habit of it and watch for signs of trouble,” he said. “I feel my phone all the time. I never used to.” The teenager went to bed after plugging in his phone to charge and woke up about an hour and half later screaming because he was on fire. He suffered burns on his arms and torso. Schultz said his son is doing well but he will have scars. “We are just lucky that no one died,” he said. The family managed to douse the fire before it spread throughout the home before fire crews arrived. crhyno@reddeeradvocate.com
STORIES FROM A1
KUHNEN: ‘It has to stay as it is’ The Kuhnen family donated 140 acres to the county with the proviso that it be kept in its natural state for public use and not be sold. “It has to stay as it is,” said Frank, who emigrated to Canada with a brother from Germany in 1952 as a 19-year-old. “That way it benefits everybody.” After moving out West, he met and married Rose in 1952. They settled in Central Alberta in 1954. Frank was a young professional boxer when he was introduced to Lacombe by boxing promoter Jack Collett, who would much later donate 635 acres of his own land in the 1980s that became the J.J. Collett Natural Area just a few kilometres north. Kuhnen said the construction of a stretch of Trans Canada Trail around Lacombe Lake convinced him to donate the land. “We saw all the people use that trail. We decided we’ve got to do something.” The Kuhnens, who have six children, 15 grandchildren, 16 great-grandchildren, and two great-great grandchildren, also own about another 450 acres in the area, most of it farmland. They also operate the Tipi Village campground. Dale Freitag, Lacombe County planning services manager, said trails will be developed in the new park as an ongoing project over the next few years.

A fire ban has been lifted in the West Country. The fire hazard was downgraded to moderate on Friday in the Rocky Wildfire Management Area, which extends from Drayton Valley to Sundre and west to the national mountain parks. “As a result of weather and the hard work of firefighters, there are a smaller number of large wildfires, which will allow the province to remove the fire ban in southern Alberta’s forests,” said Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development in a Friday afternoon update.
Campfires will be permitted in campgrounds, back country and other random natural areas. A ban on new fire permits has also been lifted. Rocky Mountain House lifted its fire ban Friday afternoon. Red Deer County lifted a fire advisory that had been in effect since May 22 as of 3 p.m. on Friday and was once again authorizing fire permits. Those people who are building fires were reminded to be careful. Despite improving conditions west and south of Central Alberta, large parts of the province are still under a fire ban. North of the Brazeau River also remains under a ban.
They will be left as natural trails, not paved, and can be reached from the nearby Trans Canada Trail. Kuhnen Park was officially unveiled in a ceremony and community barbecue on Wednesday that drew about 100 people. This is shaping up to be a good year in Central for trail building. South of Red Deer, a long-sought trail link between Red Deer and Springbrook has taken a major stride forward. And Nova Chemicals is building trails on an unfarmed natural area just north of the plant complex. Central Alberta Regional Trails Society president Paul Pettypiece is understandably pleased to see so much progress on the trail blazing front. Anyone who has lobbied, organized and rallied for new trails has come to expect a few bumpy patches on the way. The Springbrook-to-Penhold route is a case in point. A 3.6-km trail was proposed and Red Deer County set aside nearly $760,000 in its budget only to run into a dead end in 2011. A disagreement between Penhold and the county on the most feasible route sidelined the project indefinitely at the time. The project was given a boost recently with the completion of a trail study that provides four potential routes. Pettypiece said county council got its first look at the results at a recent workshop and it is expected to come to a council meeting for a decision sometime next month. Getting the link moving forward would not only provide a much-wanted local link, it will provide a necessary component to extend the network farther to Penhold and, in time, beyond. “In order to get that south leg moving, you have to
have the connection.” The timing is right for more trail expansion. Trans Canada Trail is looking to complete as much of a nation-spanning route as possible by 2017, the 150th anniversary of Confederation. To speed things up, funding is available now that may not be there later. Optimism among trail builders has also been buoyed by Alberta Transportation’s willingness to use its rights-of-way along highways as possible trail routes — reversing long-held opposition. Pettypiece said trails offer relatively inexpensive — when compared with recreational multiplexes — healthy living options. “I think people want trails more and more. They see the health benefit of it.” Out by Joffre, Nova Chemicals and its contractors have joined forces to create looped trails. On Wednesday, Nova and one of its contractors, Ledcor, held a tree-planting event at the site of what will be five km of looped trails on 220 acres of natural wetlands around Jones Creek, just north of the plant site. The Community Nature Trail is expected to be ready by the fall, as long as the weather co-operates, says Nova spokesperson Roxann Good. More than 9,000 trees will be planted along the trails, both to beautify the site and to follow through on a company commitment of “zero-net tree loss on our expansion projects.” Nova announced the trail project at the same as a $1-billion polyethylene expansion was unveiled in 2013. Stormwater work done as part of a nearby plant railyard expansion will tie into the wetlands area. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

A Lacombe school teacher who has made a career of paying it forward received a pay back of her own this week. Laurie McIntosh took delivery of the Ford Flex van that was her gift from ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show.’ McIntosh, a Grade 2 teacher at Father Lacombe Catholic School, appeared on the DeGeneres TV show in February in Los Angeles. Her giving ways impressed the host so much that McIntosh came home with 12 Giveaways, and the promise of a new vehicle. That vehicle got delivered to McIntosh this week, via Lacombe Ford. McIntosh said she has always been inspired by Ellen’s be-kind-to-one-another philosophy. She uses that philosophy in her classroom. The teacher said she tries to give back through small acts of kindness that she encourages at home and at school. Laurie McIntosh and her husband Cody, have three children: Casey, 3, Molly, 5 and Sadie, 1. McIntosh said she has always been inspired by Ellen’s be-kind-to-one-another philosophy. She uses that philosophy in her classroom. “I’ve always been a super-fan of the Ellen Show so I’ve incorporated her lessons into my classroom and I think she (DeGeneres) really appreciated that and spreading that message of being kind to one another.”

A big, old family reunion WESTERNER DAYS LINEUP FEATURES MANY ACTS FROM RED DEER AREA BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF This summer’s Westerner Days entertainment lineup will seem like a big, old Central Alberta family reunion. From Big Sugar and Wide Mouth Mason to The Boom Chucka Boys, Randi Boulton, Steve Arsenault and Spandy Andy, many acts appearing at this year’s fair from July 15-19 have a direct connection to the Red Deer area. “One of our best-kept secrets is our vibrant music and arts scene,” said Graham Heron, president and chair of the Westerner board. Whether the acts started out here — as did The Boom Chucka Boys, Boulton and Spandy Andy — or moved to the area — as did Gordie Johnson of Big Sugar and Wide Mouth Mason, and P.E.I.-native Arsenault — Heron considers the 2015 entertainment lineup a real homecoming. “We were trying to look at homegrown talent, or groups that have roots in the area. This was an opportunity for us to welcome some celebrated acts home,” he added. “We’re happy to ... let Central Albertans experience some of their skills and talent.” Once again, virtually all Westerner Days entertainment — including the above-mentioned acts — will be free with gate admission. The 8 p.m., rush-seating concert lineup for the Centrium main stage is: ● Blues/reggae rockers Wide Mouth Mason and Big Sugar on Wednesday, July 15 ● Retro rockers the Headpins and Platinum Blonde on Thursday, July 16 ● Country bands High Valley and Road Hammers on Friday, July 17 ● And three more country-flavoured acts — The Boom Chucka Boys, Lindsay Ell and Kira Isabella on Saturday, July 18. The only ticketed event will be a new, yet-to-be-announced contemporary Christian concert on the closing day of the fair, Sunday, July 19. For the first time, a free non-denominational church service will be held Sunday at 10:30 a.m. Those who attend (gates open at 9 a.m.) can stay to enjoy the fair. Food bank donations will be accepted. Free daily entertainment from Boulton, Arsenault, The Dungarees, and the Dirt Road Angels, will be available on the smaller Ranch stage. Playing in

Westerner Exhibition volunteer Glen Tisdale check on the Exhibition parade float that was moved into the Harvest Centre Friday during the entertainment announcement. Tisdale and other volunteers will be representing the Westerner Exhibition traveling to 15 Central Alberta communities this summer to promote the fair. the Twisted Tea Saloon is the On the Mark D.J., and Aussie Rules Duelling Pianos. Spandy Andy will demonstrate his street dancing on the fair grounds. Other entertainment includes the Global FMX free-style motocross show, the Bowmanville Zoo — Animal Acrobats, Vocal Rush, described as a cross between Glee and Stomp, superdogs and reptiles. Meghan Gustum, marketing manager for the fair, said this year’s theme is a pun-ny nod to having silly fun. “We want you to horse around on the midway, pig-out at the Grub Hub ... and enjoy some moo-sic.” Westerner Days kicks off with the annual downtown parade at 9:30 a.m. on July 15. This year’s midway will feature 18
thrill rides, 13 family rides, 9 kiddie rides, and tons of fair food. There will be agricultural exhibits, a petting zoo and Kids Corral for the tykes. Fifty-six pony chuckwagons are entered for 6:30 p.m. races. And there will be a fireworks show on Friday night. Another first for this year’s Westerner Days is a five-day Mega Pass, to be available for $30 from June 15 at local Co-op and Mac’s stores. It covers gate admission, but not parking or ride costs. A RAD (Ride All Day) Pass will also be available for $34 from June 15. It includes gate admission for one day of the fair. For the third year, many disadvantaged Central Alberta families will be provided with free admission and parking passes to Westerner Days through the expanded We All Play
program, sponsored by local corporations and administered by several local agencies. The sponsored Share the Fair program will bring fair entertainment to Ronald McDonald House and the Red Deer hospital to provide sick kids and their families with some enjoyment on Thursday, July 16. Fair visitors will have two discount days — Kids Day on Thursday, when children 12 and younger get free gate admission until 6 p.m., and Family Day on Sunday, when a carload of up to six people get into the fair and parking for $29 and kids 12 and under can ride all day for $12.

BRIEFS Man charged in fatal collision had been arrested twice for impaired driving A man accused of driving drunk and causing a collision that killed a motorcyclist in Red Deer on May 20 had already been arrested for impaired driving twice since November. Chad Ryan Connatty, 30, made a brief appearance in Red Deer provincial court on Friday. He appeared via closed-circuit video and a new charge of possession of marijuana was read to him. It is the sixth charge stemming from the fatal collision in Red Deer at the intersection of 19th Street and 30th Avenue about 6:30 p.m. on May 20. RCMP allege Connatty was heading north on 30th Avenue in his Ford F-150 truck when he turned left into the path of Kevin Lee Pearson’s southbound motorcycle. Pearson, 44, of Springbrook, died at the scene. Connatty, who is from Kelowna but was working in the Red Deer area, remains in custody. The most recent charges include: impaired driving causing death, operation of motor vehicle over .08 causing death, impaired operation of a motor vehicle, blood alcohol level exceeding .08 and driving while disqualified. Court records also show that Connatty is facing charges of impaired driving and driving with a blood alcohol level over 0.08 in connection with an April 12 arrest in Red Deer. The same two charges were laid against Connatty by police in connection with a Nov. 1, 2014, arrest in Fort McMurray. He is due to appear in Fort McMurray provincial court on those charges on Wednesday. Family members of Pearson’s, including his common-law wife, sons and other relatives, were among a small group who attended court on Friday. Connatty’s Red Deer charges were adjourned until June 12. A celebration of father-of-four Pearson’s life has been set for Penhold Community Hall today at 2 p.m.
Post-apocalyptic novel picked as Red Deer Reads first book Red Deer’s community book club Red Deer Reads has chosen the post-apocalyptic novel Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel as its first book. Station Eleven was chosen by the community after suggestions were submitted to Red Deer Public Library earlier this year. Candice Putnam, Timberlands branch manager and chair of the Red Deer Reads committee, said the public will have until fall to read the book before the book club launches a five-week program with everything from book discussions to theatrical performances. The launch party will take place on Sept. 25 during Alberta Culture Days. Activities will culminate with special guest in October. “We are thrilled to announce, we just got confirmation this morning, that Emily St. John Mandel, author of Station Eleven, will be visiting Red Deer on Oct. 27 for our big grand finale event,” said Putnam at the Red Deer Reads announcement held at the downtown library on Friday. Copies of the book are available for loan through the Red Deer Public Library and this summer there will also be few opportunities to pick up a free copy of Station Eleven around Red Deer. Station Eleven is about a travelling Shakespearean theatre company in a post-apocalyptic North America. Avid reader Mayor Tara Veer encouraged Red Deerians to join her in reading the novel. “We are so fortunate to live in a country where we have the freedom to read about what we want, when we want and through the medium we want it. So please join me in literacy advocacy and embracing the our inherent Canadian freedom by participating in Red Deer Reads,” Veer said.

Sense of dollars and cents ON MINIMUM WAGE, COMFORT IN THE MIDDLE GROUND Which is a worse social ill: people working at a job that does not pay a livable wage, or people losing their jobs so that those workers remaining can live on their wages? These are the choices that Albertans are being asked to consider in the public discussion around our new government’s announced decision to raise the province’s minimum wage to $15 an hour GREG in three years. NEIMAN Of course, there are other, more middleground outcomes to consider. But when the lines are drawn in a debate about money — and who should have how much of it — the stark choices are the only ones we’re generally shown. Alberta has the second lowest minimum wage in Canada: $10.20 an hour. (The Northwest Territories pegs theirs at $10, but there are plans to raise that soon). Alberta also has the lowest percentage of people actually working at that wage: 1.8 per cent of workers, versus the national average of 6.8 per cent. The majority of people working for minimum wage are under 25 years of age, and the provincial average wage for that group is reported to be $18 an hour — the upper end of the national scale for wages for young people. Premier Rachel Notley ran on a platform that included boosting the minimum wage to $15 an hour, and the NDP platform became policy rather quickly. Enter the economists. You can get as many predictions about the economic effects of changing the minimum wage as you can afford to pay for, but suffice to say the results are mixed. Really, nobody knows what happens when the minimum wage is raised to a point where every person working full time can actually live independently on their salary. Chiefly because there are so few places where that’s possible. The cities of Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle have done, or are moving toward a $15 minimum hourly
INSIGHT
wage, and the outcome of debate there is that economists are happy to finally have a live, large, real-time social experiment to monitor. The Canadian Federation of Independent Business points out numbers of job layoffs that would accompany each percentage increase in the minimum wage. They suggest that the near 50 per cent hike proposed for Alberta could result in anywhere between 53,400 and 195,000 job losses. When only 40,000 Albertans currently earn the minimum wage, it’s hard to figure who would be left to serve our hamburgers, bus tables at restaurants and clean our hotel rooms, but there you are. At $15 an hour, a full-time worker will earn about $28,000 a year, making that person a bona fide taxpayer. A full-time worker on Alberta’s current minimum wage will gross less than $20,000 a year. That’s part of the consideration for those who monitor social policy experiments. Nobody is proposing that we eliminate poverty by ensuring everyone makes at least $25 a hour. Likewise,
nobody is proposing that a minimum wage law is the full answer to poverty. Questions around poverty, like unemployment and homelessness, cannot be resolved that simply. Rather, the minimum wage is a justice issue, speaking to the value of anyone’s labour. If you work for a day, you should be able to live for another day — and you can’t do that for long on $10.20 an hour. One interview of dozens you can find in the news streams comes from a representative of Edmonton’s downtown business association. Business owners there aren’t complaining to Jim Taylor, president of the association about the change. One downtown Edmonton restaurant owner, who employs 25 people, says the change will have no effect on her operation. The Canadian Association for Policy Alternatives studied the studies and even in traditionally low-paid jobs, they found no significant relationship between changes in minimum wage and labour market outcomes, 90 per cent of the time. (Meaning one busi-
ness that lays people off is offset by another business that hires.) Claims that higher wages have largescale negative labour or economic consequences were not borne out by the studies reviewed. But where else has the minimum wage been raised almost by half over three years? Not too many places. So in Alberta, the jury is definitely out. So you can believe the social engineering types or the doomsayers on what will happen next. For now, anyway. For myself, until the results are actually shown, I’ll opt to look to the comfortable middle ground. What’s going to happen? More Albertans will likely become minimum wage-earners — and if they’re careful with their dimes and dollars, they’ll be able to be full citizens on that. Not that bad an outcome, I’d say. As to the economists, I prefer John Kenneth Galbraith, who said the only function of economic forecasting is to make astrology look respectable. Greg Neiman is a retired Advocate editor.

ing as actual rock stars in front of our very own peers. All this and we didn’t even have a name for our little ensemble. And since we figured we were soon to be quite famous, we figured we should probably have a name. So after rehearsal one night, we talked and argued and everybody wrote down and then revealed our five best ideas for band names. And, of course, nobody could agree on anything. Choosing a name is a rite of passage for any band, including ones formed by seniors with kitchen implements as instruments. And every single time I’ve been through it (which is many), someone always says: “How about Jock Strap and the Elastic Band?” And everyone laughs and goes for french fries. I believe it was our fearless leader who came up with the name The Imperials. All I recall is that we had so many french fry band name discussion sessions that all of us would have actually agreed to Jock Strap and the Elastic Band at that point. Besides, other local bands around that time went with monikers such as The LanLords, The Drifters, The Rebels, The Coal Company and The Ninth Wave — so The Imperials was close enough for bunch of kids attempting to make something resembling music. Thing is, we were a completely instrumental band. No singer. Trumpet, saxophone, organ, drums. We played dance music from albums such as Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass, and the Baha Marimba Band. I can remember we knocked together our own version of the theme music from

the wonderfully cheesy TV show Batman. It was one of our most popular “go to” tunes — and that gives you an idea of the stellar level of performance pumped out by The Imperials. So the big night came and there we were. Up there on the expansive stage in the cavernous new gymnasium at Central School. All our buddies, bullies and prospective future girl friends in their awkward, expensive suits and gowns staring up at us, waiting. So we take a deep breath and immediately passed out. Just kidding. We launch into the graduation dance — Theme from Batman — and it sounds like someone suddenly started up a deafening entire carnival midway inside a huge cave. The gym echoed like a calliope in a tin gymnasium, but we kept blatting, banging and bashing away and when I looked out to the graduation masses, I could see that many of the braver ones were actually dancing, and many of the less brave who were hugging the walls were actually sort of smiling. Graduations are like that. No matter when or where you are as an honoured graduate, it’s still weird and crazy, and always somehow includes various degrees of wonderful. So to this year’s grads and families: Enjoy. And remember: yours could have been even weirder. You could’ve had a band called The Imperials playing the Theme from Batman.

STREET TALES
“Yes I believe you are, but you already know that you won’t find the right kind down here on the street.” I withheld other things I wanted desperately to say to her knowing that it was not something she wanted to hear at this time, because her whole being was crying out for that next fix she was wandering the street for. As I drove home, a scene flashed in front of my mind that her comment about looking for love “I think” was the precursor to a perfectly wretched evening for her. In my mind, I saw that she found a man who would give her just enough ‘love’ so that she could afford some crack or whatever she used for a short high, after which she would be harnessed with another bout of guilt and shame; probably more intense than when she started, and the cycle would start all over again. At the same time, I kept thinking about what I could have said or done to put her on a different path, even just for that one evening. Then I also realized that I had not considered the strength of the drive for that high she was so desperate for. Did I believe that she was indeed looking for love? For sure I did and do. Unlike a male counterpart whose idea of love some-
times is only for a short time, a female most often is looking for a love relationship that lasts in a fulfilling manner. One-night stands or a furtive sexual act just would not fill that bill, but it would be a means to an end. What drove her to this point in her life? Was it a failed relationship? Was it unfulfilled hopes or desires? When she first took that drug that made her forget for an hour or so, did she really think that more of the same would help, or was it just a way of escaping the situation she was in? In speaking with a social worker, her statement was that in the largest majority of cases, it was a traumatic experience that initiated the onset of an escape habit. This is why it is so important to treat everyone we meet with respect. The person who you smiled at and said good morning to, or gave a minute to listen to, may have needed that smile and pleasant voice or that ear right at that time. Think about how you feel when you meet someone on the street who gives you a cheerful greeting. Then just pay it forward. It can mean the world — even life — to that person.

This is turning into a game of chicken and China has just thrown out the brakes. Would Beijing really go to war if the United States doesn’t stop overflying the reefs in question and carrying out other activities that treat the Chinese claim as unproven? Probably even the bosses in Beijing don’t know the answer to that. But they really do intend to control the South China Sea, and the United States and its local friends and allies (the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei, and Taiwan) really will not accept that. The Chinese claim truly is astonishingly brazen. The “nine-dash line,” an official map published by the Beijing government in 1949, claims practically all the uninhabited reefs and tiny islands in the shallow sea as Chinese territory, even ones that are 700 km from the Chinese coast and 150 km from the Philippines or Vietnam. Since the islands might all generate exclusive economic zones of 300 km, China may be planning to claim rights over the entire sea up to an average of about 100 km off the coasts of the other countries that surround the sea. It hasn’t actually stated the details of that claim yet, but it is investing a lot in laying the foundations for such a claim. It’s as if the United States built some reefs in the middle of the Caribbean Sea, claimed them as sovereign territory, and then said that the whole
sea belonged to the U.S. except for narrow coastal strips for Cuba, Mexico, Venezuela, etc. China is actually building islands as part of this strategy: taking low-lying reefs and building them up with enormous quantities of sand, rock and cement to turn them into (marginally) habitable places. Then it acts astonished and offended when other countries challenge this behaviour, or even send reconnaissance flights to see what the Chinese are up to. The veiled threats and the bluster that accompany this are intended to warn all the other claimants off. It’s been going on for years, but it’s getting much more intense as the Chinese project for building military bases all over the South China Sea (it denies that that’s what they are, of course) nears completion. So now the rhetoric steps up to actual warning of a Chinese-U.S. war. The Global Times is right, whether its writers know it or not. If China keeps acting as if its claims were universally accepted and unilaterally expanding the reefs to create large bases with airstrips and ports, and the U.S. and local powers go on challenging China’s claims, then there really could be a war. Later, not now, and not necessarily ever, but it could happen. Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist whose articles are published in 45 countries.
War in the South China Sea? “If the United States’ bottom line is that China has to halt its activities, then a U.S.-China war is inevitable in the South China Sea,” said an editorial quite serious little war (more than 900 in the Global Times last week. people were killed, ships were sunk, The Global Times is an English-lan- etc.) over a couple of islands in the guage daily paper specializing in in- South Atlantic that had no strategic ternational affairs that is published and little economic value. by the People’s Daily, the Chinese govMaybe that’s not relevant.

to inequality. Last month 1.8 million Canadians were working in temporary jobs, with average weekly wages of $623.57, according to Statistics Canada. Of these, one million were in full-time jobs averaging 39 hours of work and a weekly wage of $910.74 and 812,000 were in part-time jobs averaging 14.8 hours of work and an average weekly wage of $261.55. Most are unlikely to be stepping stones to better jobs. One way to reduce inequality, the OECD says, is to reform tax and benefit policies. As top earners “now have a greater capacity to pay taxes than before, governments may consider reexamining their tax systems to ensure that wealthier individuals uphold their fair share of the tax burden.” But more important, it says, is the need to focus on the bottom 40 per cent of income distribution, including not only the system of government transfers but access to housing and public services, such as early education and childcare, and the active promotion of inclusive employment, skills development and training. Improving opportunity is critical. The biggest way in which inequality impacts growth is through human capital. “The wider income inequality, the lower is the chance that low-income households invest in education.” This
underinvestment represents a potentially big loss in human potential — correcting for it would enable stronger economic growth. Looking at a set of 19 advanced economies, the OECD found the average of cumulated growth rates amounted to 28 per cent. But if inequality had not increased, the average OECD country would have grown by nearly 33 per cent. A study by Marc Frenette at Statistics Canada found that while just over 50 per cent of 19-year-olds from families in the top quartile of income distribution attended university, only 31 per cent of youth from families in the bottom quartile attended. Moreover, youth in the second quartile were only slightly more likely to attend university than those in the bottom quartile. Young people in the bottom 40 per cent had poorer school performance which in itself is a major challenge. At this point in time, the election looks like a lost opportunity. Instead of focussing on a real reform agenda to make Canada a richer and fairer society, our political parties are engaged in an opportunistic pandering to the broad middle class rather than raising the life chances of the 40 per cent of Canadians in greatest need.

SATURDAY, MAY 30, 2015
A woman in a red pillbox hat with velvet pants and a black cape is playing old-time music on an amplified guitar in front of the Provincetown Town Hall while a parade of people mills past on Commercial Street. She seems like the ideal ambassador for this quirky little Massachusetts beach town on the tip of Cape Cod. P-Town has a special bohemian flare that attracts artists, LGTBQ people, straight couples and families escaping the city and if you wander around town, you’ll DEBBIE see them all. OLSEN I make my way along Commercial Street, occasionally popping into the funky little boutiques that are interspersed between the souvenir shops and fashion stores on the town’s main drag. You would be hard pressed to find a bespoke women’s hat store in most cities but Provincetown, with a population of under 3,000 permanent residents, has two. There’s also a fortune teller, several shell shops, a kite store, loads of art galleries, restaurants and bakeries. Even though I don’t typically enjoy shopping, it is hard not to be drawn into the little shops in this district. Provincetown is America’s oldest art colony and you find art everywhere you go — inside numerous galleries and museums and right out on the street. On a whim, I wander into G-1 Gallery and get an introduction to the works of Cuban American artist Manuel Pardo. As the gallery owner shares his passion for these uniquely detailed works, I develop an appreciation for them as well. Doubling back, I find an access to the beach area and walk along the soft warm sand that leads to MacMillan Pier and Provincetown Harbor. It’s a windy day and several children are flying kites on the beach behind the kite shop. stroll along the pier and see the boats and explore the artisan shops inside wooden shacks before spotting a store that sells homemade ice cream back on Commercial Street. With a cone in hand, I sit in front of the Provincetown library and watch the world go by. A statue entitled Tourists sits on the corner directly across from me. Sculpted by acclaimed New York artist Chaim Gross, it is appropriate for a little place that is so full of visitors. Locals like to say that the tip of Cape Cod is “the end of the world” and with its many miles of sand dunes and seashore, it may feel like it is in the winter months when shops and businesses are mostly closed. When it is packed with tourists of every kind, this quirky little place feels more like the beginning of the world than its end.

French authorities investigating flight’s near miss with volcano in Cameroon PARIS — Air France says one of its jets had what investigators call a “serious incident” by flying too close to a volcano while manoeuvring around a storm on a flight into Cameroon. Flight 953 took off from Malabo in Equatorial Guinea on May 2 and was cruising toward Douala, Cameroon’s largest city, when the pilot rerouted the Boeing 777 to avoid a storm. A ground-proximity alarm in the cockpit sounded when the jet, with 37 people aboard, flew too near Mount Cameroon, a 4,095-meter (13,435 feet) active volcano whose last eruption was reported in 2012.

● Explore Commercial Street: No visitor should miss exploring the eclectic collection of shops that line Provincetown’s main shopping street. You’ll find everything from art galleries and antiques to fashion and memorabilia. You can find things in Provincetown that you won’t find anywhere else. Make sure to keep your energy up by having locallymade ice cream at Lewis Bros., malasada at the Portuguese bakery or pizza at Spiritus. The Patio is a great spot for dinner. ● Climb the Pilgrim Monument: Provincetown was the first landing site of the pilgrims. In 1620, the pilgrims spent five weeks in Provincetown before they sailed on and settled in Plymouth, Mass. In 1907, President Theodore Roosevelt laid the cornerstone and construction began on a 76.8-metre (252-foot) tall freestanding tower to commemorate that landing. Today, it remains the tallest all granite structure in the United States. At the base of the tower is a museum and gift shop. Visitors can climb the tower and visit the museum for a fee of US$12 per adult or $4 per child. You need to be fit to climb the tower, but the views from the top are stunning (www.pilgrimmonument.org). ● See the sand dunes: From the top of the Pilgrim Monument, you can see the sand dunes stretching along the tip of Cape Cod and as I gazed out at the dunes on my last morning in Provincetown, I realized I had missed out on something. The dunes are stunningly beautiful and can be accessed by a guided tour, by hiking or you can ride through them on an extensive bicycle trail system. Arts Dune Tours (artsdunetours.org) offers guided suburban tours of varying lengths through the dunes. A one-hour tour will cost US$28 per person.

SUMMER HIKING IN SWEDEN’S ARCTIC CIRCLE
PRESS
Stone piles crafted by ambitious trekkers a short walk from the Abisko Mountain Lodge, one of two modern guesthouses that bracket the most popular, northernmost stretch of Sweden’s Kungsleden trail. Abisko is famous for its northern lights.
BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ABISKO, Sweden — A multi-day hike above the Arctic Circle is no place for an iPhone to die. “There goes my camera,” I thought, and yet the loss was freeing. I was out of Internet and mobile phone range anyway. Now I’d have to pay more attention to my surroundings. I began to collect colorful leaves to place in my journal as proof, explorer-style, that I’d been there. Few people outside Nordic countries know about the Kungsleden, or the King’s Path, the most famous trail in Sweden. But National Geographic calls it one of the world’s greatest hikes, which is how I came across it online. I’ll get key words out of the way. Northern lights? Yes. Reindeer? Yes, at close range. Icebergs and polar bears? No. Between the end of June and mid-September, when mountain huts are open and there’s rarely snow, the far north shows itself in the spare landscape and unusual light. The landscape is not the Himalaya, though hills lining the wide valley are the weathered nubs of mountains once just as high. With few trees, the view is clear and gorgeous. The path is dotted with bushes bearing edible, bright red lingonberries. The wind can be strong and cold. Reindeer and the indigenous Sami people help break the open landscape. In summer, the seminomadic Sami round up and identify young reindeer. In fall, hunting and slaughtering season begins. The most popular part of the Kungsleden is its northernmost stretch, easily reached by a brief Scandinavian Airlines flight and bus ride, or an overnight train from Stockholm. The train stops across from one of the biggest and busiest mountain lodges along the trail, in Abisko. The tiny village is world-renowned for its view of the northern lights, and Japanese tour groups there were no surprise, since the lights are revered in Japanese culture. But I almost wished that someone would sound an alarm when the lights appear. I spent the evening in the lodge’s one-room library, hopping up from time to time to glance outside. Eventually, I returned to the dormitory to sleep, then I happened to glance up and there they were, glowing green and slowly moving across the sky. From Abisko, the Kungsleden offers what we need more of in the United States: a multi-day hike, accessible by public transport, with huts along the way. On the trail, you can also camp pretty much wherever you like. During hiking season, shelters are open with gas stoves, bunk beds, woodstoves for heat and
candles for light. Water comes from nearby streams. You’re expected to fend for yourself. I quickly learned how to saw wood and light fires. Custodians welcome you with a glass of juice, take payments and show you around. Bring your own food for the entire weeklong hike in case the small shops in some shelters run low on staples like pasta and canned protein. Try the fish balls. Between shelters, hikes run 8 to 14 miles. From Abisko to the bustling mountain lodge at Kebnekaise, near the foot of Sweden’s tallest mountain, the walk is generally level or rolling. Marshy areas are crossed with two-plank walkways, and streams have bridges or steppingstones. That almost relentlessly stony path is challenging, especially while carrying a backpack with a week’s worth of food. But a good number of Kungsleden hikers were middle-aged, including a lanky 70-year-old man from Denmark and a pair of Swedish women in their 60s. Near the shelter at Salka, located in a vast bowl formed where valleys meet, I stood still for several minutes as a small herd of reindeer wandered across the trail. Their leader snuffed in seeming impatience, and the younger ones butted and played. The Kungsleden’s simple pleasures shift back to civilization from the village of Nikkaluokta, a day’s hike from Kebnekaise, where a couple of buses a
day during hiking season go to the regional centre of Kiruna less than an hour away. The small mining city offers good local food at the Safari Cafe, a well-resourced tourist bureau, a striking old wooden church, a bookstore with a modest English section and the local branch of the Swedish chain H&M. Good Swedish coffee is easily found. Kiruna also has several hostels and hotels, and a shared taxi to the airport a few miles away can be arranged. From Kiruna, I flew back to Stockholm and spent my final day exploring neighbourhoods with the city’s bike-hire system and taking a ferry to one of thousands of islands in the Stockholm Archipelago on the edge of the Baltic Sea. In about 90 minutes I was on the tiny island of Grinda, following seaside paths, picking apples and contemplating a restaurant splurge at the sole hotel. It was a simple, beautiful day. But without photos from that piece of my journey, I guess you’ll have to take my word for it.

Adriatic Sea oil search puts pressure on tourism BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MEDULIN, Croatia — Peter Fries has been coming to Croatia for years after falling in love with its pristine coastline, fresh seafood, mellow wine and friendly hosts. With Croatia announcing it will allow oil drilling in the Adriatic sea, the 60-year-old German businessman is having second thoughts about his loyalty to this Mediterranean tourist haven known for glorious sunsets over sparkling seas and white pebble beaches shadowed by thick pine forests. That picture-perfect image, he fears, could soon change with the construction of giant offshore oil rigs on the horizon. “This is a high-risk problem,” Fries said in a warm breeze that stirred the sea’s mirrored surface. “No one wants to swim or dive in a sea with pipelines, oil platforms and tankers.” Despite surging opposition to pumping crude in the waters of one of Europe’s fastest-growing summer travel destinations, the Croatian government is determined to boost the state’s poor finances by offering several exploration licenses to foreign energy companies. The decision has deeply split the European Union’s newest member state of some 4.3 million, a country still scarred by the 1990s Balkans wars and where the untouched beauty of the Adriatic is a matter of national pride. Opponents warn that besides damaging the spectacular scenery, offshore drilling represents a grave environmental hazard, raising the risk of oil spills that could wreck tourism — the country’s main source of income. Supporters say pumping oil could bring billions of dollars to Croatia’s troubled economy, which has been in recession for years. They add that drilling could ultimately help Europe reduce its reliance on Russian energy imports. “This is an existential matter that will bring a better life to Croatian citizens,” Economy Minister Ivan Vrdoljak told The Associated Press. The latest opinion polls indicate that 45 per cent of Croats are against Adriatic oil drilling, while 40 per cent are for it — with those in favour living mostly inland and far from the coast. “The Adriatic is like a jewel that should not be touched,” said Ivo Lorencin whose main income is renting rooms in a quiet bay in the northern Adriatic during the three-month sum-
mer peak season. “If the sea is destroyed, we all are destroyed.” Croatia’s Adriatic tourism industry was already devastated once — during the war for independence from former Yugoslavia. The stunning medieval walled town of Dubrovnik was severely damaged by shelling, and broadcasts of warfare beamed around the world kept tourists away years after the conflict subsided. Tourist numbers of about 11 million a year returned to pre-war levels in 2012, only after widespread rebuilding and a worldwide media campaign under the slogan: “The Mediterranean as it once was.” The government believes that Croatia’s strategic position between Europe’s east and west could turn the country into a regional energy powerhouse, like Norway in the North Sea. “Croatia will then become an energy exporter which will bring security of supplies to the region,” Vrdoljak said. He said that environmental risks would be minimal because the latest EU safety standards would be applied, and most of the new offshore platforms would not be visible from the main coast. “All studies say that the (oil) production is a lesser environmental risk than transportation by tankers that we now use to import oil,” he said, adding that there was no need for a popular referendum demanded by the opposition, and hinted at by the country’s prime minister. The initial exploration, which will determine the quantities and profitability of oil production in the Adriatic, is set to start in June and last for five years before commercial pumping eventually begins. There is little doubt that there are oil and gas reserves in the area. In neighbouring Italy, dozens of offshore platforms currently operate, some syphoning crude. There are also 18 rigs on the Croatian side of the Adriatic that extract only gas, which is considered a much smaller environmental risk than oil. Croatia’s Greens are unimpressed by government’s safety pledges. They have started a petition campaign entitled “Say NO to oil in the Adriatic, say YES to sustainable growth.” “The risks are very high,” said Mirela Holy, the leader of ORaH, a small Green party that started the campaign. “Alternatives are renewable energies, especially in the Adriatic, such as solar energy, windmills and small hydro power stations.”
Opponents also say Croatia’s tourist revenue of about 7.5 billion euros ($8.4 billion) a year far exceeds the potential financial benefits of oil exploration, estimated by the government at euros 160 million ($180 million) a year in licenses given to oil companies.
“In case of an accident, this (tourist revenue) will be completely destroyed,” said Monica Frassoni, cochair of the European Green Party, attending an environmental conference in Croatia’s capital, Zagreb. “So, why the risk?”
“ IT’S THE sale OF ALL sails.”

Lightning in a bottle TAMPA BAY BEATS RANGERS IN GAME 7, WILL PLAY FOR SECOND STANLEY CUP BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Tampa Bay 2 New York 0 NEW YORK — The only history the Tampa Bay Lightning were interested in was what they would create. Such as handing the New York Rangers their first Game 7 loss at Madison Square Garden, which they did Friday night with their second straight 2-0 road victory behind Ben Bishop’s 22 saves. Such as heading to their second Stanley Cup final, where they will play Chicago or Anaheim, which will decide the Western Conference title Saturday night. Such as going 9-0 when scoring first in this post-season, which they did when Alex Killorn slipped a backhander under Henrik Lundqvist early in the third period. Bishop, pulled from a Game 6 loss after allowing five goals, did much of the rest, and Ondrej Palat iced it with 8:43 to go. The Lightning, who won the Cup in 2004 in a seventh game over Calgary, allowed only four goals in as many games at the Garden. “For whatever reason that was probably the most calm Game 7 I’ve ever been a part of,” Lightning captain Steven Stamkos said. “And not just for me, but on the bench. Going into the third, we were just loose. “We knew we were playing the game the right way, we knew were going to get one.” New York had the NHL’s best record this season and was 15-3 in its last 18 elimination games. The most recent defeat was in the fifth game of the Cup finals last year at Los Angeles. But Bishop made sure there would be another loss for the Rangers, extending his shutout string at the Garden to 145 minutes, 43 seconds. “It’s painful,” Lundqvist said. Bishop’s teammates stormed off the bench to mob him after his 22nd

Tampa Bay Lightning left wing Ondrej Palat (18) shoots to score past New York Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist (30) as right wing Kevin Hayes (13) helped defend during the third period of Game 7 of the Eastern Conference final during the NHL hockey Stanley Cup playoffs, Friday in New York. and last save of the night. The crowd chanted “Hen-rik! Hen-rik!” as both teams lined up to shake hands, and Lundqvist looked stunned as well as downhearted as he took part in the tradition. Lundqvist has won six Game 7s, tied for most by any goalie. Killorn’s seventh goal of the postseason came 1:54 into the third on a backhander from the slot with traffic in front of Lundqvist, who didn’t appear to see the puck skitter in to the crease, then under him into the net. Then it was left to Bishop to protect
the slim margin. On one sequence with the lead still one goal, four Rangers were in front trying to locate a loose puck, but Bishop didn’t yield. Palat finished it with his seventh of the playoffs, a wrist shot over Lundqvist’s glove off a nice feed from Tyler Johnson. Tampa is 9-0 scoring the first goal of these playoffs. Not even pulling Lundqvist with 3:44 remaining helped the Rangers, who scored only four goals in as many games at home in the series. The Lightning then collected the
Prince of Wales Trophy for winning the East, and set their sights on the bigger hardware: the Stanley Cup. The finals will begin Wednesday night. Rangers coach Alain Vigneault said after the loss that captain Ryan McDonagh played with a broken foot. McDonagh sat out the first 12:41, but played a regular shift the rest of the way.

McPherson joins sports hall of fame BY DANNY RODE SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE
Photo by JEFF STOKOE/Advocate staff
Hugh McPherson of Red Deer was named to the Alberta Sports Hall of Fame as a Sport Builder during a gala Friday.
Hugh McPherson has played a major role in the development of sports in Red Deer for close to 40 years, and has been happy to volunteer for whatever sporting event comes to the city. On Friday, McPherson was among a select few who stood front and centre as he was inducted into the Alberta Sports Hall of Fame at induction ceremonies at the Sheraton Red Deer. “It’s special to be from Red Deer and to be honoured by the Hall of Fame,” said McPherson during a press conference at the hall on Friday afternoon. “The important thing is how pleased I am to see the selection committee has found a way to honour the volunteers who work for sport, and have been for a lot of years. “That’s why I’m thrilled to be here representing all those volunteers, who have done so much over the years.” McPherson was born and raised in Red Deer and played basketball for the RDC Kings in the late 1960s. He went on to get his education degree and returned to Red Deer in 1981. He taught junior and senior high school, as well as coached. “When you’re coaching, it’s a volunteer job, so I guess I’ve been volunteering since I got out of high school,” he said.
McPherson was talked into joining the City of Red Deer recreation board and never looked back. “Once involved, it was a springboard for everything else,” he said. McPherson worked with a number of boards and committees in Red Deer, as well as with the Alberta Games programs. In Red Deer, he served with the Games Foundation, the Games Society, the RDC Athletic Advisory Board, the Red Deer Parks, Recreation and Culture Board, the Waskasoo Park Policy Committee and will work with the 2019 Canada Winter Games board of directors. McPherson also was instrumental in the relocation and development of the Alberta Sports Hall of Fame and Museum to its present location on the west side of the city. He served on both the building and fundraising committees, and was vice-chairman of the hall board from 1994 to 1999. “The province of Alberta does a great job of supporting all the events that go on in the province,” said McPherson. “Being committed to building communities is an important thing. “So for the hall of recognize me for the efforts I put in throughout the years verifies the importance of that concept. That’s what it’s all about, staying committed to building the community.”

Rockets pound Remparts to advance to Memorial Cup final BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Rockets 9 Remparts 3 QUEBEC — The goals poured out of the Kelowna Rockets and that could be a good sign heading into the Mastercard Memorial Cup final. Justin Kirkland and Rourke Chartier each scored twice as the Rockets downed the host Quebec Remparts 9-3 in the semifinal on Friday night in a wild game on the ice and in the grandstands at the Pepsi Colisee. The win put the Rockets into the final on Sunday night against the tight-checking Ontario Hockey League champion Oshawa Generals. “We’re going in to play a team that’s
great defensively, so to have that outburst is good,” said Rockets captain Madison Bowey. “We’re not going to get the chances we had tonight against Oshawa. “It’s going to be a two-way, hardnosed game and whoever works harder and wants it more will win.” The Remparts edged Kelowna 4-3 in the opening game of the four-team tournament, but had little hope in the rematch. Playing a third game in as many nights against a Kelowna squad coming off two days of rest proved too much for a team that had key players battling injuries. The Remparts, boosted by the crowd of 9,870, came out flying and got the first goal from Adam Erne on a 2 on
1 only 3:11 in, but then faded as the Rockets poured on a high-paced, physical game. “I’ve been there, three games in three nights,” said Rockets defenceman Josh Morrissey. “They battled as hard as they can and sometimes mental errors happen. “And once they get down, they start taking more risks. I’m sure they were tired mentally and physically.” Leon Draisaitl, Josh Morrissey, Cole Linaker, Chance Briad and Tyson Baillie also scored for the Western Hockey league champions, who blew the game open with four second-period goals. Anthony Duclair and Dmytro Timashov had the other goals for the Remparts, who were eliminated. The

Remparts, who played their final game at the Colisee before moving into a new building next season, were outshot 44-23. Zach Fucale stayed in for all nine Kelowna goals. “It’s not easy but forget the score. Kelowna won and they’re going to the final and that’s all,” said Fucale. There was old-time hockey at the 66-year-old rink. During the Rockets blitz in the second period, fans rained cups, souvenir sticks, cardboard signs and at least one nail onto the ice when an obvious hit from behind on Jerome Verrier by Bowey went uncalled, causing a fiveminute delay.

Colabello ninth inning homer lifts Jays BUEHRLE TOSSES COMPLETE GAME BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MINNEAPOLIS — Chris Colabello hit two-run tiebreaking homer in the ninth inning against former teammate Glen Perkins, giving Mark Buehrle and the Toronto Blue Jays a 6-4 victory over the Twins on a soggy Friday night, stopping Minnesota’s five-game winning streak. Buehrle (6-4) made a drastic recovery from a four-run first inning for his second complete game this season, raising his record in 51 career starts against the Twins to 29-19. Buehrle retired 24 of the last 26 batters he faced, allowing one single. The other reached on an error. Toronto’s Josh Donaldson homered for the fourth straight game, a threerun shot off Trevor May in the fifth that tied the game. Perkins (0-1), the major league leader in saves, started fresh in the ninth inning after 10 straight outs by the Blue Jays. Russell Martin drew a walk after falling behind 0-2, and Colabello followed with his dramatic drive into the bullpen behind left-centre field. A journeyman who languished with independent league teams before making his major league debut at age 29, Colabello set a Twins franchise record with 27 RBIs last April before hurting his thumb and being sent to the minors. The Blue Jays picked him up over the winter, and he’s off to another strong start. Buehrle has struggled in the first quarter of this season, but this was
progress. After Brian Dozier hit his first pitch for a double, Joe Mauer tacked on an RBI single, Torii Hunter added an RBI double and Kurt Suzuki pitched in an RBI single before a sacrifice fly by Eduardo Escobar. That was it for the Twins, though. Then Buehrle went to work. May was fresh from the longest outing of his young career, a seven-inning, six-hit, three-run, no-walk, nine-strikeout performance in a win last week against the White Sox in Chicago. The highest-scoring team in the majors posed a stiffer challenge. The Blue Jays have always hit well in this ballpark, a big reason why they went 12-5 in the first five seasons at Target Field. Donaldson, an All-Star third baseman in 2014 with Oakland who is in his first season with Toronto, drove a one-out changeup on the first pitch he saw into the grassy berm behind centre field to tie the game. Donaldson is batting .405 in 20 career games against the Twins. RAINY DAY The first pitch was pushed back an hour, the second time setback this week for the Twins. Because of afternoon games and the delays, they haven’t taken batting practice on the field in a week. Still, this was only the 16th weather delay in Target Field’s six-year history. They have had 11 games postponed and one suspended. TRAINER’S ROOM Toronto: Manager John Gibbons said IF Devon Travis could return next week at Washington, if he continues

Minnesota: RHP Casey Fien came off the DL to pitch a scoreless eighth. Manager Paul Molitor said Blaine Boyer will remain the primary setup man for now. UP NEXT Aaron Sanchez (4-4, 3.98 ERA) will
make his 10th start of the season for Toronto on Saturday afternoon, seeking his second win in five road starts. Kyle Gibson (4-3, 2.72 ERA) will take the mound for Minnesota for the 10th time this year, too, coming of a careerlong-matching eight innings in an 8-1 victory at Chicago last week. Gibson is 3-1 with a 1.32 ERA this month.
McDavid impressed by possible teammate Draisaitl TOP-RANKED HOCKEY PROSPECT TAKES IN MEMORIAL CUP BY THE CANADIAN PRESS QUEBEC — Connor McDavid is not only good at hockey, it seems he can also predict the future. The 18-year-old, likely to go first overall in the NHL draft, got a look at Kelowna Rockets star Leon Draisaitl while watching the Memorial Cup semifinal Friday night at the Pepsi Colisee. McDavid spoke to reporters in the
first intermission, moments after Draisaitl hit the post from the slot with the Quebec Remparts net gaping open. “He’s been unbelievable all season long,� said McDavid. “I think he’ll want that chance back he had in the slot, but a guy like that is not going to miss very often. “If Quebec’s going to give him more chances he’ll get a couple.� Draisaitl scored only 17 seconds into the second period and then assisted on Justin Kirkland’s goal three min-
STORIES FROM B4
NHL: Bishop out duels king Henrik Neither team appeared particularly tense in the opening period. Tampa had a slight edge in scoring chances in the first 20 minutes, with Lundqvist’s best save off a deflection in front by Valtteri Filppula. The goalie also used his arm to fight off a deflection by Steven Stamkos that fluttered on top of the net. New York had two fruitless power plays in the second period, the best chances on two shots by McDonagh that Bishop handled. Unlike the opening session, the period had little flow, with frequent whistles for offside calls and the like. Each goalie made some superb saves in that period, Bishop with his pad on a slap shot by Derick Brassard — he of the hat trick and two assists in Game 6 — and Lundqvist on Nikita Kucherov’s wrist shot, then a brilliant arm stop on Jason Garrison’s wrister. That save prompted chants of “Hen-rik! Henrik!� from the crowd, and again when he stuck out his right leg to thwart a wide-open Tyler Johnson in front, his best save all night. The Lightning were looking very comfortable in a road Game 7 at that point. Then it was on to the third period, nervous time for everyone. And a prosperous time for the Lightning, who have beaten Detroit in seven games, Montreal in six and the Rangers in seven this spring. Notes: New York last won the title in 1994. ... Because of McDonagh’s injury, the Rangers suited up seven defenceman, with Matt Hunwick making his series debut. ... The Lightning went 5-1 at the Garden this season, counting two wins in the regular season. ...The Lightning were 2-0 against the Ducks this season, 1-0-1 against the Blackhawks.
utes later. The Edmonton Oilers are almost certain to pick McDavid with the No. 1 pick. Draisaitl was selected third overall by the Oilers last June. Asked if he was watching a future teammate, McDavid would only say: “Ha, I don’t know.

And we bring that to every event we support, it doesn’t matter if it’s cycling or the marathon. Our citizens are behind it. That makes this such a great place to live and a great place to be involved. That’s part of our culture and an important one.� McPherson was one of 11 individuals and the 200709 University of Lethbridge Pronghorns women’s rugby team to be inducted into the hall. Bill Warren, who played an instrumental role in 1988 Calgary Winter Olympic bid, joined McPherson as a multisport builder. Former Calgary Flames trainer Jim “Bearcat� Murray was honoured as a hockey builder. Badminton builder and athlete David and Jean Folinsbee received the Pioneer Award. Long-time Calgary Flames radio announcer Peter Maher was presented with the Bell Memorial Award. Chris Koch, who was born without arms or legs, and Joey Moss, who has worked for years in the dressing rooms of the Edmonton Oilers and Eskimos, received Achievement Awards. Former member of the Canadian women’s hockey team Carla MacLeod, curling great Kevin Martin and former hockey star Bruce MacGregor were also honoured. The Pronghorns had a local flavour as Red Deer’s Shannon Court was a member of the three-time CIS champions with Red Deer’s Norm MacDougall on the coaching staff. Danny Rode is a retired Advocate reporter who can be reached at drode@reddeeradvocate.com. His work can
tainly deserve to be there,� McDavid said of the Generals. McDavid was in Quebec City to attend the Canadian junior hockey awards ceremonies on Saturday, where he is a candidate for player of the year, top draft prospect and scholastic player of the year honours. He also got to see the game delayed when fans rained cups and paper onto the ice after a Madison Bowey hit from behind on Jerome Verrier went uncalled by the officials.

ROCKETS: Quebec fans litter ice over ref call “It’s in the refs’ hands and luckily he didn’t (call a penalty) and I guess the fans didn’t like it too much,� said Bowey. Despite warnings over the PA system, at 16:38 a bag of popcorn came over the glass when Kelowna’s Dillon Dube was awarded a penalty shot after being tripped. Dube hit the post. On a power play only 17 seconds into the middle period, Draisaitl burst down the left side and scored to make it 2-1 Kelowna. Then he fed Kirkland to deke the goalie for another with a man advantage at 3:23. Kirkland reached into a crowd and flipped a puck over Fucale’s pad at 4:06. Morrissey whipped one to the top corner at 16:46 Duclair was left open to deke Whistle at the side of the net 21 seconds into the third, but Chartier finished a 2 on 1 at 2:17 and Linaker came out from behind the net to score at 2:54. Timashov and Baillie then traded power-play goals. “We came here on a mission and now we’re one step closer to where we want to be,� said Draisaitl. Quebec’s Yanick Turcotte was ejected for taking a second major after winning fights against Rodney Southam and Braid.
MCPHERSON: Inductee credits volunteers True to form, when the 66-year-old was asked what stands out during his career, McPherson was quick to turn the attention away from himself. “The thing most important to me is to see the development of the youth. You see them come in when they are 12 or 13 and by the time they leave, they’re sport volunteers in their own right. That development is the fun thing for me to watch. “And, of course, working with a whole lot of other people who give back as well.� McPherson believes Red Deer has as good a volunteer base as anywhere in the province. “You could see it in the rally they held to get the

WOMEN’S WORLD CUP
Canada tops England in final tune-up game BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Canada 1 England 0 HAMILTON - Sophie Schmidt scored a highlightreel goal midway through the first half to send Canada into the Women’s World Cup on a winning note with a 1-0 victory over England in a friendly Friday. The goal, on artificial turf before 23,197 at Tim Hortons Field, came after a slow start for the Canadians, who grew in confidence as the game wore on. Canada strung passes together and looked more creative in trying to open up the visitors. England is ranked sixth in the world, two places above Canada. The Canadian women head to Edmonton on Tuesday in advance of their June 6 World Cup opener against China in Group A, which also features New Zealand and the Netherlands. Schmidt scored the game’s lone goal in the 24th minute, sweeping in a feed from makeshift fullback Josee Belanger with a right-footed one-timer on the edge of the penalty box. Her 16th goal for Canada was a beauty. She came close on several other occasions, on a free kick in the first half and a close-range shot early in the second after a twisting run through the penalty box. She also threatened in the 78th minute when, all but wearing an English defender, she poked the ball wide. Schmidt, making her 132nd Canada appearance, tied Andrea Neil and Brittany Timko for fourth on the all-time Canadian list. Fullback Allysha Chapman also excelled for Canada, motoring up and down the left flank. The Canadian defence blunted the visitors with forwards coming back to help the cause. The visitors resorted to some tough defence in the second half, flattening more than a few Canadians. England’s Fara Williams hit the crossbar with a long-range chip/shot in the dying minutes. England has had the best of Canada recently, coming into Friday’s game riding a four-game win streak against the Canadians. Last time out, England defeated Canada 1-0 in the March final of the Cyprus Cup on a 67th-minute goal by Lianne Sanderson. Canada named local girl Melissa Tancredi captain on the occasion of her 100th cap. Christine Sinclair normally wears the armband. Tancredi came close in the seventh minute, just failing to get her head on an Ashley Lawrence cross. England had chances early with captain Steph Houghton floating a free kick from outside the box just high in the 18th. Two minutes later, Canada ‘keeper Erin McLeod had to push aside a Houghton shot off a corner.

Cameron Percy walks by dead minnows on the 11th fairway during the second round of the Byron Nelson golf tournament, Friday, in Irving, Texas. Overnight storms flooded parts of the golf course delaying the start of play.
Spieth surges into contention with 64 BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS IRVING, Texas — Jordan Spieth wasn’t sure what par was at his hometown AT&T Byron Nelson and thinks it actually might have helped him through some frustrating early holes. There’s a reason the Masters champion was uncertain — overnight rain turned one of the signature par 4s at the saturated TPC Four Seasons into a pitch-and-putt par 3 at 105 yards for the second round Friday. Spieth and every other early finisher within three shots of clubhouse leader Jon Curran turned in a birdie 2, and Gary Woodland had a hole-in-one when it was still possible that the easy wedge over a pond would play as a par 4. Tour officials later made the switch. “I was able to fire at more pins, not really worry about anybody else,” said Spieth, who shot 64 — 5 under because par became 69 to put him at 6 under for the tournament. “Really actually helped because I didn’t know what score I was at when it’s a par 4, 4 par, par 3, don’t really know what it’s at.” Curran shot 63 and was at 9-under 130 with the two-round par total at 139 instead of 140, with several contenders unlikely to finish the round because of a three-hour delay at the start. Cameron Percy was a shot back after an eagle at the par-5 seventh for a 64. Defending champion Brendon Todd shot 68 and was 1 over for the tournament, unlikely to make the cut. The fairway at the normally 406-yard 14th was deemed unplayable in the landing area after 5 inch-
es of rain fell starting about midnight, pushing the total to about 17 inches in less than three weeks at the Four Seasons course. Texas officials have declared May the wettest month in the state’s history. Muddy footprints marked the area where a dip in the fairway funneled down to a rain-swollen canal off to the right. Standing water covered the ground under some trees, about the same spot where Spieth chipped out in Thursday’s first round and ended up with a bogey. The temporary tee box was on the fairway side of a pond that wraps around the left side of the green. Tour officials believe it was the first such alteration since the 2005 WGC-Match Play Championship, when flooding at La Costa in Carlsbad, California, temporarily turned a 467-yard par 4 into a 162-yard par 3. “It was really tricky,” said the 21-year-old Spieth, who birdied his final three holes at Nos. 7-9. “We get up there and it’s 105 yards, but it’s off a steep upslope and really muddy. I don’t think we’ll see that, if ever, again, something like that.” Curran, a 28-year-old rookie looking for his first PGA Tour win, shot 29 starting on the back nine, with the same boost as others on the 300-yard head start at 14. He had bogeys on the first and sixth holes to prevent a serious run at a 59 — with an asterisk of course. “I knew it was a 105-yard hole,” Curran said. “I don’t think anybody really knew what all was going on. I think it was good that they gave us a chance to get out there and play.” Nick Watney had a bogey-free 65 and was in a group at 7 under that included 48-year-old Jerry Kelly, who also shot 29 while starting on the back nine.
Blatter secure fifth term as head of FIFA CORRUPTION ALLEGATIONS DO LITTLE TO WEAKEN PRESIDENT’S POWER ZURICH — In the end, nothing could stop Sepp Blatter. Not a far-reaching corruption scandal. Not a tarnished international image. Not a young prince who gave him a stronger-than-expected challenge. Despite the biggest crisis in FIFA’s 111-year history, Blatter emerged victorious once again Friday, winning re-election as president of world soccer’s governing body for a fifth term and proving he is the sport’s ultimate survivor. “I am now the president of everybody,” the 79-year-old Blatter crowed after defeating Prince Ali bin al-Hussein of Jordan to secure another four years in office as one of the most powerful men in sports. Blatter was declared the victor after Prince Ali withdrew following the first round of secret balloting among FIFA’s 209 member federations. Blatter won the first ballot 133-73, seven votes short of the two-thirds majority required for victory. Before the start of the second round, where a simple majority would be enough for victory, the 39-year-old prince conceded defeat. By preventing Blatter from securing an outright first-round triumph, Prince Ali gave Blatter a symbolic bloody nose and showed that his previous iron grip on the organization has weakened. “I want to thank all of you who were brave enough to support me,” Prince Ali told the delegates. With FIFA in turmoil amid a pair of U.S. and Swiss corruption investigations, Blatter had remained defiant and refused to step down — as demanded by European soccer’s governing body, UEFA. The result of the one-vote-per-country election proved that Blatter retains the loyalty of the many smaller countries in Africa and Asia, a bloc that is enough to counter his critics in Europe and elsewhere. “I like you. I like my job,” Blatter said to the assembly after receiving a mix of cheers and jeers as he stepped to the stage for his victory speech. “I am not perfect, nobody is perfect, but we will do a good job together I am sure.” Then he exhorted the delegates: “Together we go! Let’s go FIFA! Let’s go FIFA!” The election took place two days after seven soccer officials were arrested in dawn raids at a luxury Zurich hotel. The U.S. Justice Department indicted 14 people on charges of bribery, racketeering, money-laundering and other charges. In a separate investigation, Swiss authorities are looking into FIFA’s awarding of the 2018 World Cup to Russia and the 2022 tournament to Qatar. And Britain’s Serious Fraud Office said Friday it is assessing “material in its possession” relating to allegations of FIFA corruption. Blatter himself was not implicated in the U.S. indictments, but prosecutors have said the investigations are far from over. FIFA’s big-money sponsors have also called for change within FIFA. Visa warned it could pull out of its contract, which is worth at least $25 million a year through 2022. Blatter, who has been in office for 17 years, portrayed himself as the man who can guide FIFA through the tumult and restore trust in an organization that has been left battered and reeling from
years of corruption accusations. “I have been made responsible for this storm,” he said in his final speech to the voters before the election. “That’s fine, that’s fine. I take that responsibility. I take it. I take it upon myself and I also want to accept this responsibility, get back on the path, to fix FIFA, together with you.”
The election went ahead after U.S. and Swiss federal investigations struck at the heart of Blatter’s circle. Two FIFA vice-presidents and a recently elected executive committee member were still in custody Friday as the votes were counted. “I thank you that you accepted me for the next four years,” Blatter told the assembly.

Triple Crown close calls BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — There have been 31 horses who entered the starting gate for the Belmont Stakes with a chance to win the Triple Crown. Eleven succeeded in sweeping the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness and the Belmont. Twenty came up short in the final leg for so many reasons: a stumble at the start, a questionable ride, exhaustion, even broken bones. The last three Triple Crown winners came in the 1970s: Secretariat (1973), Seattle Slew (1977) and Affirmed (1978). While we’re waiting to see how American Pharoah fares in his Triple try, here’s a look at those who missed in the Belmont, at 1 ½ miles the longest and most grueling of the three races. 1944: Pensive (second) This was the first horse to have a Triple attempt spoiled. The chestnut colt had the lead in the stretch before 16-1 long shot Bounding Home inched
past and won by a half-length. 1958: Tim Tam (second) The bay colt finished second to Cavan by 5 ½ lengths after running the final quarter-mile with a broken bone in his right front ankle. 1961: Carry Back (seventh) A scrawny, unattractive little colt was poised to make another thrilling stretch run, but when jockey Johnny Sellers asked for more, Carry Back “spit the bit” — meaning he simply didn’t feel like running anymore. He finished seventh behind 65-1 long shot Sherluck. 1964: Northern Dancer (third) When Bill Shoemaker chose to ride Hill Rise over Northern Dancer in the Derby, Bill Hartack gladly replaced him. After winning the first two legs, the colt bred in Canada finished third behind Quadrangle, about six lengths back. The race was run at Aqueduct. 1966: Kauai King (fourth) Sent off as the 3-5 favourite, the Maryland-bred named for a Hawaiian island did not have his best day, or
BELMONT STAKES close to it, and ran an unthreatening fourth, eight lengths behind the winner Amberoid. 1968: Forward Pass (second) After a controversial Derby where Forward Pass was declared the winner when Dancer’s Image was disqualified for a medication violation, the horse was denied when Stage Door Johnny ran him down in the stretch and won by 1 ½ lengths. 1969: Majestic Prince (second) Arts and Letters, runner-up in the Derby and Preakness, led after a mile and won by 5 ½ lengths. The trainer of Majestic Prince said his horse was injured and shouldn’t run, but was overruled by the owner. It was Majestic Prince’s first loss in 10 starts — and last race of his career. 1971: Canonero II (fourth) A record crowd of 81,036 watched this horse from Venezuela, but he was caught in the final quarter-mile by
Pass Catcher, who won by three-quarters of a length over Jim French. 1979: Spectacular Bid (third) Considered a cinch to give racing its fourth Triple Crown winner in the 1970s, the Bid stepped on a safety pin in his stall the morning of the race. He finished third behind Coastal after young jockey Ron Franklin gunned Bid to the lead and the colt faded in the stretch. 1981: Pleasant Colony (third) An unlikely Triple Crown threat, Pleasant Colony trailed early, came around the turn for home with a chance, but Summing maintained his lead and won by a neck over Highland Blade. 1987: Alysheba (fourth) After beating Bet Twice in the first two legs, Alysheba didn’t have it on this day. Bet Twice ran off with the lead within a mile, and cruised by 14 lengths over Cryptoclearance.
Fifth straight fourth round for Sharapova BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Photo by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Russia’s Maria Sharapova returns in the third round match of the French Open tennis tournament against Australia’s Samantha Stosur at the Roland Garros stadium, in Paris, France, Friday. She won in straight sets 6-3, 6-4.
PARIS — One of Roger Federer’s 5-year-old twin daughters had her nose buried in a comic book. The other was glued to a mobile phone. Shame, really, that they didn’t look up, because the tennis their father wove on the French Open centre court verged on art. The canvas for Federer’s strokes, the backhand as smooth as a cat’s paw and the forehand with crackle and pop, was Damir Dzumhur. The 23-yearold, the first Bosnian man to play at a major tournament, idolizes the 17-time Grand Slam champion. He had to pinch himself as they warmed up in a chilly breeze for their third-round match Friday. “Strange feeling,” Dzumhur said later. “Like I’m dreaming.” But Federer hitting this well: nightmare. He gave Dzumhur just 1 hour, 29 minutes of his time. The 6-4, 6-3, 6-2 win put Federer into the last 16 for the 11th consecutive year at the only major tournament he hasn’t won multiple times. Although Maria Sharapova, by her own admittance, lacks Federer’s artistry, the defending women’s champion was the portrait of grit against 2011 U.S. Open champion Samantha Stosur, winning 6-3, 6-4. That puts Sharapova into the fourth round for the fifth consecutive year. The post-match on-court interview un-
fortunately focused on the five-time Grand Slam winner’s outfit — white shirt with blue stripes — as much as the solid tennis that got her over the obstacles of Stosur, a nagging cough and the wind that fiddled with Sharapova’s hair and ball toss. “Coming to Paris, you want to be tres chic,” she said gamely. No one asks Federer about his clothes. Although, in this fashion capital, they should. His pink shorts were so bright they left lingering spots on the back of the eyes when stared at too long. Thankfully, his tennis was distracting. A volley winner in the fourth game — one of 24 successful excursions to the net for Federer — oozed assurance. A backhand two games later drew an appreciative “oooh” from the crowd. Even after three rounds without dropping a set, it would be premature to froth about Federer’s chances of providing a twin for his solitary French Open title, in 2009. But he is moving well, and not just for a 33-year-old. Federer is too respectful of opponents to say such a thing, but there were times against Dzumhur where the match looked more like a sparring session to prepare him for later, tougher rounds. The younger Bosnian grunted from the exertion of trying to keep up; Federer made no sound. After serving out the first set, he wiped his brow more out of habit than need.
NHL combine shifts from ballroom to arena in Buffalo BUFFALO, N.Y. — Connor McDavid and Jack Eichel’s presence alone at the NHL’s pre-draft scouting combine next week is enough to spur leaguewide buzz. There’s more. Aside from having two highly touted players included among the 120 prospects scheduled to attend, the combine is finally entering the 21st century. After spending the past 25 years in stuffy and carpeted hotel and convention centre ballrooms in suburban Toronto, the weeklong event is moving for the first time into an actual hockey facility in downtown Buffalo. Starting Monday and running through June 6, the combine will be held at the newly built hockey/ entertainment HarborCenter complex connected to the Sabres home arena. “This is taking the combine to a whole other level,” Vancouver Canucks general manager Jim Benning said. “I’m looking forward to getting in there and seeing how it’s run this year and, maybe going forward, that’s the way it’s going to continue to be run.” Anything would be an upgrade after last year, when the hotel air conditioning didn’t work during the team-player interview portion of the combine. “I felt bad for the kids, because it was like we were sweating them out,” Benning said, laughing. The $200-million facility, funded by Sabres owner Terry Pegula, opened in November. It features two NHL-sized rinks, a training centre, meeting rooms, a bar and restaurant, and will eventually include a 200-plus-room hotel. Regarded as a one-of-its kind North American facility, HarborCenter immediately captured the NHL’s attention two-plus years ago. “It kind of dawned on me because we were kind of running out of runway with our combine,” NHL Senior Vice-President of Hockey Operations Colin Campbell said. Sabres President Ted Black jumped at the opportunity and, as part of the team’s formal bid, agreed to pick up some of the NHL’s costs. HarbourCenter has become a focal point of the city’s re-developing Erie Canal District. And it has placed Buffalo on the map as a hockey destination by having already hosted the Under-18 women’s and sledge hockey world championships. For now, Buffalo will host the next two combines before the NHL assesses whether to have other teams bid for the event. What’s clear is the combine likely won’t return to its ballroom past. “We will see how it goes, but I view this to be the natural evolution of this program,” NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly wrote in an email to The Associated Press. “I don’t see this moving backward.” There are numerous advantages to holding the combine at HarborCenter. The player-testing portion will be held on the floor of the facility’s main rink, which provides a raised seating area for team officials, and far more room to film player workouts, NHL Central Scouting Director Dan Marr said. Each team will be assigned a suite inside the Sabres arena, where player interview sessions will occur. That’s a switch from shuttling prospects to offsite hotels. The Sabres also have control over the entire facility, from security to food preparation, to better serve the NHL’s needs. The move to Buffalo has the potential to open new possibilities for the combine, which remains closed to the public and does not include any on-ice testing.
Fans have not been allowed in because of a lack of space, and a fear they could create a distraction. As for getting prospects on the ice, that was not feasible to do in a ballroom. Concerns have also been raised that on-ice testing would be unfair to prospects whose seasons ended earlier than others. Former NHLer and Detroit Red Wings special assistant to the GM Kris Draper doesn’t see why the
combine can’t eventually incorporate both fans and an on-ice component. “We’re playing a little catch-up with the NFL combine, obviously,” Draper said, referring to football’s annual event that has grown in popularity. “You’d like to think that one day (the NHL combine) becomes a media-driven event as well. The bigger that it can get, the more recognition it can get, the better it is for our sport.”

he Red Deer Flying Club/COPA Flight 92 held their annual Fly-in/Drive-in Breakfast on Sunday, May 3, at the Red Deer Airport. The day started off chilly but the sun soon shone through. The breakfast is held to raise funds to promote aviation initiatives in the Red Deer and Central Alberta region. It was an exciting event with a great turnout. Many helping hands cooked breakfast for approximately 270 guests. Pancakes, eggs, ham and hot and cold drinks were offered. At least 60 planes flew in from local airports and also from as far away as 167 nautical miles. Some of the planes that landed on the Red Deer runway were an open cockpit plane, a gyro copter, an amphibious aircraft that has the ability to land on water or land, and helicopters. On hand at the breakfast were members of CASARA (Civil Air Search and Rescue Association), along with Central Alberta Gliding Club, and the Harvard Historical Aviation Society. Guests were interacting with the visitors both inside the hanger and outside in the sun. Spectators watched the planes flying in and out and had the opportunity to go out onto the field to get an up-close look at the many models. Thank you to all the helpers, the guests, and the photographer, for a great morning event. For more information, visit the Red Deer Flying Club website at http://www.reddeerflyingclub.org/.

C2 Safety committee reaches out
SATURDAY, MAY 30, 2015
WANTS TO SHAPE CRIME PREVENTION, SAFETY PLAN WITH HELP FROM LAW ENFORCEMENT BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF Red Deer’s community safety committee is hoping for some face time with RCMP Supt. Scott Tod and Red Deer Remand Centre director Wayne Johnson. The ad hoc committee will soon extend an invitation to the two officials for its next meeting on June 10. As the committee shapes the crime prevention and community safety plan, city Coun. Ken Johnston, a committee member, said understanding the policing plan as well as the people who end
up in the jail is essential. “Especially now with the court system being so plugged,” he said. “We have people in there for a year even before they see a judge.” Johnston said they want to understand the challenges faced by the inmates. “I think you will start to see things like literacy, drug addiction, abuse, broken families,” said Johnston. “These are the areas that if we do it right, we will be creating a safer community, if we get those areas right.” The committee has been tasked with putting a plan together over two years. It last met on Wednesday.
Johnston said once they have the input from the enforcement and detention side, they will have more clarity around the strategy. Since forming about four months ago, the 11-person committee has met a handful of times to talk strategy. Johnston said they lost one member and they will soon be recruiting for another from the legal community. Johnston said there are 150 connected agencies and partners in Red Deer that work in areas crime prevention, enforcement, intervention and education. Over the next few months, the committee will form sub-committees dealing with prevention, intervention,
enforcement and education, and reach out to assess the needs of these groups. Johnston said community engagement will be a key focus in the coming months. As part of its duties, the communitybased committee will develop a funding model and distribution process for community safety projects and a governance structure for a community-based crime prevention and community safety model. Eventually, the committee will develop the criteria for organizations to apply for funding opportunities that align with the city’s vision and goals. crhyno@reddeeradvocate.com
WALKING WITH OUR SISTERS
Fire kept to offer safety as exhibit installed BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF A soothing fire will continue to burn inside a teepee near Red Deer Museum and Art Gallery until the exhibit Walking With Our Sisters opens on Monday. The fire fed with birch and poplar will be tended by men who have volunteered to keep the fire burning day and night for the women installing the commemorative memorial that recognizes over 1,800 aboriginal women and girls in Canada who were murdered or went missing in the last 30 years. Walking With Our Sisters is comprised of more than 1,700 beaded moccasin vamps (tops) to draw attention the travesty. Another 108 pairs of children’s vamps are included for the children who never returned home from residential schools. Visitors to the floor installation will walk on a path alongside the vamps arranged in a winding path. Lyle Keewatin Richards, who was one of the fire keepers on Friday, said women in the museum are involved in an overwhelming task representing 1,800 lost lives. “What the ladies inside are doing is really hard work. That’s tough stuff. They need a place where they can come and feel safe,” said Keewatin Richards, who sat near the glowing fire in the teepee as more wood was chopped into pieces outside.

A sacred fire has been tended since Thursday morning in a teepee located south of Red Deer Museum and Art Gallery in support of the women installing the Walking With Our Sisters exhibit. “Our role here is protectors. We’re here to provide that solid space. “This is a place of calm, steady, warm safety.” Men and women smudged when the entered the sacred space. At least two men will keep the fire lit day and night to provide the women with continued support, he said. “Our job, our commitment, is to keep this fire until their job is done.” Preparing for Walking With Our Sisters in Red Deer has been a community effort, he said. “It’s a real eye-opener. It might not be on the federal government’s radar, but it is on ours,” Keewatin Richards
said. Former mayor Morris Flewwelling said he was honoured to be asked to be one of Friday’s fire keepers. Museum staff member Andrea Lacoursiere said 36 volunteers are helping out each of the four days it takes to set up the exhibit. “It’s physical work, but it’s also tasking on your heart. So to be able to have that space to go and take a breath in nature, it’s important. We’re very thankful the men have been able to step up and uphold their fire keeping duties,” Lacoursiere said. Inside the museum, vamps and sacred items were starting to be unboxed
on Friday. In preparation for the exhibit, eight community meetings called conversations were held. “There have been some really raw, hard emotions and some really hard stories to listen to. But they’re all necessary and that’s part of the process of healing and getting to the root causes of why our sisters are going missing,” Lacoursiere said. Opening day for Walking With Our Sisters on Monday runs from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. The exhibit closes on June 21, National Aboriginal Day. szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com

Red Deer native channels the Gaels BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF Murray Yates went from having a Juno-nominated band to working on Hollywood soundtracks to cowriting a Gaelic song for a short film that’s racking up international accolades. And it all began in Red Deer. The singer/songwriter/producer grew up in this city. He graduated from Lindsay Thurber Comprehensive High School, studied music at Red Deer College, and played in a cover band at the Windsor Hotel before leaving Central Alberta in 1996 for wider horizons in Los Angeles and Vancouver. His award-winning Celtic song, O A Ghra Mhin (O Gentle Love), co-written with Sarah Ann Chisholm, is gaining international attention as part of the soundtrack for the acclaimed eight-minute film, Madness. The short is about a woman who begins to unravel when her husband dies during the Black Death epidemic of 1348. Yates’s plaintive song, woven throughout the score, is being recognized globally. Madness picked up Best Original Score from the International Film Awards and the Accolade Global Film Competition. Chisholm was also awarded for her vocal performance by Glor na nGael (Voice of the Irish) in Ireland. (So far, Madness has a total of 26 awards, including honours from the Best Shorts competition in California, San Francisco Film Awards, Los Angeles Independent Film Festival, the U.S. Prestige Film Awards, and Indiefest Film Awards.) Yates’s Gaelic tune is even being played on some radio stations, such as Maui’s Celtic radio show. The Advocate asked Yates how he came to participate in the 2014 film, and also caught up with his current projects. How did you get involved with Madness? Yates: Through the screenwriter/co-producer/lead actress Michelle Brezinski, who is an amazing filmmaker. Michelle suggested a Celtic theme song and I rolled with it and co-wrote the song Ó A Ghrá Mhín (Oh Gentle Love) with singer Sarah Ann Chisholm and violinist Jennie Press (The Vancouver Symphony). The song was translated into Irish Gaelic by Scoil Ghaeilge Vancouver and woven throughout the score by composer/actor Josh Cruddas. Fiona Hanlon, a teacher from Dublin, was the main translator. Living in Vancouver, you get to rub elbows with filmmakers. It’s all about networking in this city. From where did you draw your inspirations for the tune? The song was from a dark place of love and loss, as the film portrays. I was inspired by old Celtic songs and Irish melodies, and kept the song haunting and sad. Sarah Ann sang the vocals that we co-wrote and did an amazing job. Jennie wrote and performed the violin part and also did an incredible job of telling the story through the music. Having the lyrics in traditional Irish Gaelic was also super cool and interesting. I have Irish roots and working on this song was a great opportunity to keep the language and culture alive. Short movies are often difficult for the general public to see, distribution wise. If they wanted to view the movie, or hear the song, where is it available? If you would like to see the movie Madness you can go to storyhive.com and type in “Madness” in the search bar. The track can heard for free on Bandcamp or

downloaded from iTunes. The film is also playing at the Calgary Horror Con, June 20-21. What is your background/experience in music? I attended RDC music program as a piano major, vocal minor and was student president. In 1998 my band Templar was signed to EMI records and had our song Here We Go (used) on NHL 2001 for Playstation. Since then, the song has been used at NHL hockey games. We were nominated for a Juno for Best New Group in 2001. I moved to Los Angeles in 2001, formed my band Forty Foot Echo, and signed a major recording deal with Hollywood Records (Disney Music Group). A year later my song Brand New Day was picked as the title track in the motion picture Freaky Friday. The soundtrack debuted at No. 19 on the Billboard 200 charts and received an American Gold album. As well, we had numerous tracks that were placed in the first season of the hit TV show One Tree Hill, in which we open the show in the pilot with (one of our songs). Our song Drift was also used in the film The Prince and Me. I had a top 10 hit with Forty Foot Echo called Save Me in Canada which radio still plays. Both Save Me and Brand New Day had music videos that were aired on channels such as Much Music. Where are you now? I am now based in Vancouver after living in L.A. for four years. I run a private recording studio downtown Vancouver called Echoman Records where I compose, record, produce, mix and master original music. I help local artists get on their feet by helping out with demos to push their music. There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing an artist’s face light up the first time they hear their song mixed and ready
to go. It’s priceless. That’s really why I do this — to share the gift of music. Was there anything about your time/experience in Red Deer that prepared your for your music career? Red Deer was a great city to get experience in. I played the Windsor Hotel in a Red Deer cover band called Shattered Image all the time. (We) packed houses and I knew everyone there ... some of the best times I’ve had. However, the connections in RD were not enough to get us ahead. My biggest connection from RD was the boys at Z-99. Rob Robson and Bob Mills, who then moved to Vancouver station CFOX. They gave some hometown love and played my songs here in Van, which ended up getting me signed to EMI. Thanks guys! What are you currently working on? I work at my studio, Echoman Records, with publishing companies for film and TV placement weekly. I am currently recording a single for Izabel Pearce, child star from The Age of Adaline. Mainly, I am a record producer, that’s my gig. Artists come to me with ideas and I make them come to life. I’ve worked with artists all over the world. We can do this nowadays with our technology, which is cool and saves time and money. Anything else you want to add? I wanted to add that Forty Foot Echo has a new single, Blow Me Away, being played at The Drive in RD and is available upon request. I just wanted to say, if you have a dream, a dream that keeps you up at night, don’t push it under the bed. Take action and you will be amazed at how the universe unfolds for you, in your favour.

San Andreas is Taken but shaken San Andreas 2.5 stars (out of four) Rated: PG Disaster film San Andreas thunderously demonstrates the late Roger Ebert’s maxim about movies being an empathy-generating machine. The science may be dodgy in this blockbuster multiplex shaker, in which a series of massive earthquakes hit California, reducing Los Angeles and San Francisco to heaps of teetering skyscrapers and collapsing bridges. But the empathy is solid in the hero story of Ray (Dwayne Johnson), a helicopter pilot for the L.A. Fire Department. His determination to rescue his family establishes an undeniable audience connection, along with a few chuckles over the cheesy plot and dialogue. Ray’s dogged quest to PETER save his quake-trapped HOWELL daughter Blake (Alexandra Daddario) shares a paternal franticness with Liam Neesom’s Parisian rescue rampage in the kidnap drama Taken. This includes the subplot about divorce tearing the family asunder and a smarmy new guy (Ioan Gruffudd) supplanting the stubborn old one in the marital bed. In this case, however, Ray’s estranged wife Emma (Carla Gugino) joins in the heroics, which is a welcome change from genre norms. Hollywood has long had an almost perverse desire to make films about California catastrophes, at least as far back as San Francisco in 1936, a musical-drama starring Clark Gable and Jeanette MacDonald that was based on the 1906 earthquake in the Golden Gate City. Technological advances have made each successive quake movie more realistic. San Andreas employs seamless CGI and 3D effects for an alarmingly convincing depiction of the all-too-plausible scenario of seismic disaster in California, caused by shifting tectonic plates of the San Andreas Fault that crosses the state. This is a rare example of a disaster film that actually downplays the devastation. The real death toll caused by earthquakes of this magnitude — exceeding 9 on the Richter scale — would result in a body count many times higher than could be shown in a movie intended for popcorn audiences. Street scenes in San Andreas are thus often surprisingly empty, and more damage is seen being done to structures than people. That’s all the better to help us focus on Ray, who seems to be the only first responder left after earthquakes that began in Nevada (rupturing the Hoover Dam in one spectacular early sequence) rumble their way into California. A prologue demonstrates Ray’s helicopter flying

When you think about it, is there anybody else you’d want looking out for you in times of trouble than Johnson? His former wrestling nickname “The Rock” barely describes what a mountain of beefcake this guy is, and Johnson agreeably flexes his muscles on cue. His valiant Ray is always on the go and ready for action, whether it’s happening on land, in the air or on (and under) the water. He’s a great improviser, hot-wiring cars, “borrowing” aircraft and breaking all the rules as he first races to Emma’s aid in L.A. and then to Blake’s in San Francisco. Neither of the two women, however, are standard damsels in distress. Blake demonstrates resourcefulness of her own, as she meets-cute and then teams with British engineer Ben (Hugo Johnstone-Burt) and his precocious kid brother Ollie (Art Parkinson) in a bid to reach higher ground. And Emma demonstrates pluck to spare after she’s forced to fight her way out of a towering inferno in downtown L.A. A side story in which Paul Giamatti plays a prophetic seismology professor at Caltech attempts to establish the scientific bona fides of San Andreas, with predictable grousing about lack of public preparedness for earthquakes. “No one listens to us until the ground shakes,” sighs Giamatti’s Lawrence, who functions as nar-
rative expositor and finger-wagger. He and his lab partners have developed a computer program to predict when quakes are about to hit, based on his decades of study. Yet he seems surprised to learn how the tectonic plates of the San Andreas Fault are connected. Lawrence speaks to the threatened masses through the ready camera of TV journalist (Archie Panjabi as Serena), warning them about the danger of underestimating the wrath of Mother Nature, but it’s always with fatherly concern and a divine blessing. San Andreas is efficiently directed by Canadianborn Brad Peyton (Journey 2: The Mysterious Island) from a screenplay credited in the main to Carlton Cruse, a TV writer for Lost, Bates Motel, Nash Bridges and other series. Cruse’s background in episodic TV is evident in the start-stop nature of San Andreas, in which a quake-related mishap is followed by a dramatic save and the inevitable first question, “Are you OK?” The movie wants us to ask the same about Ray and his family. The Golden Gate Bridge may tumble and L.A. towers may topple, but who really cares about all that? What we really want to know, as San Andreas generates empathy with seismic impact, is whether Ray, Emma and Blake are gonna be OK again as a family. Peter Howell is a syndicated Toronto Star movie critic.

NEW YORK — Comedy Central says Sept. 28 will be opening night for Trevor Noah as the new host of The Daily Show. The 31-year-old South African comedian will be stepping into the job held by Jon Stewart since 1999. The previously announced departure date for Stewart is Aug. 6. The parody newscast will then go on hiatus until the arrival of Noah, whose selection to take over was announced by the network in March.
Official Pan Am Games song features Juno Award winner Serena Ryder TORONTO — Canadian artist Serena Ryder has lent her voice to the official song of the Toronto 2015 Pan Am and Parapan Am Games. The Games’ organizing committee and official broadcaster CBC announced the release of Together We Are One in a news release Thursday. The song was selected from a pool of 70 submissions. The English version of Together We Are One was recorded by Ryder, a multiple Juno Award-winning singer/songwriter. Together We Are One unites everybody, regardless of who they’re rooting for,” Ryder said in a statement. “It’s their song. It’s everyone’s song.” The song was written by Murray Daigle, Jasmine Denham and Bobby John, and produced by Daigle. French and Spanish adaptations of Together We Are One were also recorded.
China detains artist who posted humorous portrait of president amid wider crackdown on dissent BEIJING — Authorities have detained an obscure Chinese artist after he posted online a humorous portrait of President Xi Jinping, his wife said Thursday. Judy Zhu said police accused her husband, Dai Jianyong, of “creating a disturbance” after detaining him Tuesday near their Shanghai home. Dai is known for posting eclectic photos on social media, including some showing himself and others scrunching up their lips and eyes. Dai posted images of Xi with the same expression while wearing a moustache. Some online commentators have compared the Xi portrait to Adolf Hitler, although Dai’s Instagram image has much broader moustache than the small, square-shaped, “toothbrush moustache” associated with Hitler and Charlie Chaplin. Dai faces up to five years in prison if convicted. Shanghai police didn’t answer phone calls Thursday. Chinese artists have long walked a fine line between what they can express without getting into trouble with authorities. Posting politically sensitive work online has become one clear red line, especially under Xi’s more hard-line rule. “In general, the space for civil society to make their opinion public has become much harder under Xi Jinping, and that’s also true of artists,” said Frances Eve, a researcher with the activist group Chinese Human Rights Defenders. “The government’s always made it a little unclear, but people who used to work as artists felt like they hadn’t crossed the lines. Now, people have been detained and have crossed that line they didn’t know was there.”

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — CBC-TV is turning to British, Australian and U.S. series to bolster its summer, fall and winter lineups. The public broadcaster will be airing a slew of foreign shows including the Hallmark Channel period drama When Calls the Heart, the recently cancelled BBC2 drama Banished, the British comedy Raised by Wolves and the British drama Jekyll and Hyde, starring Richard E. Grant. Australian pickups include the ’60s-set drama Love Child and the comedy Please Like Me. CBC programming boss Sally Catto says it’s all part of a bid to showcase distinctive series viewers won’t see on the private networks. The slate also features 11 original productions, including previously announced serialized dramas Romeo Factor and This Life,and 14 returning shows including Schitt’s Creek, X Company, Mr. D and Murdoch Mysteries, with a guest appearance by William Shatner. Bell Media, Shaw Media and Rogers Media are set to announce their upcoming TV schedules next week. Catto says the cash-strapped CBC is focusing on character-driven serialized dramas and more single-camera comedies. She says the imports fit well within the broadcaster’s mandate and don’t detract from its mission to serve Canadians. “Our focus is really best of the world,” she said in an interview earlier this week. The CBC’s new lineups were built without the backing of NHL broadcast revenues. Rogers Media paid $5.2 billion for exclusive national rights to all NHL games for 12 years. CBC still has the right to air Hockey Night in Canada but Rogers collects all the advertising revenue. Despite the financial hit, Catto says the programming budget has been preserved. “There are certain factors we can’t control but you can tell by how much we’re ordering that it hasn’t been an issue in terms of our programming budgets. Content has been made the absolute priority.” Here’s a look at the foreign buys:
When Calls the Heart ( premieres June 28) — Based on the novel by Canadian writer Janette Oke, this series follows teacher Elizabeth Thatcher (Erin Krakow), who has just arrived in a 19th century coal mining town in the Western Frontier. Banished (July 27) — Cracker creator Jimmy McGovern is behind this period drama set in 1787 when Britain banished its unwanted citizens — orphans, petty thieves, prostitutes and highwaymen — to Sydney, Australia. The exiled include close friends Elizabeth Quinn (MyAnna Buring), Tommy Barrett (Julian Rhind-Tutt) and James Freeman (Russell Tovey). Please Like Me (July 31) — Created by and starring Australian comic Josh Thomas, the series follows Josh as he approaches his birthday with his life finally coming together. Until he’s dumped by his girlfriend and introduced to an odd but very attractive man, Geoffrey (Wade Briggs), which leads him to realize he may be gay. Raised by Wolves (Oct. 6) — This series follows six socially isolated, home-schooled siblings and their acerbic mother Della Garry (Rebekah Staton). Love Child (Aug. 8) — A series set in a Sydney boarding house and hospital in the 1960s, where young, unwed mothers are sent to live for the duration of their pregnancy. Maverick midwife Joan Millar (Jessica Marais) comes from London to work for the hospital during the throes of a cultural revolution. Jekyll and Hyde (winter 2016) — Tom Bateman and Richard E. Grant star in this account of a sensitive young man in London in the 1930s who begins to feel himself coming under the power of a darkness he cannot control.

NEW YORK — Serial junkies, get out your sleuthing kits again. The wildly popular podcast is coming back with two new series. In an email sent to Serial newsletter subscribers on Wednesday, producers said they hope to launch Season Two this fall and Season Three next spring. “We are hard at work reporting not one, but two distinct new stories,” they say. Planning for a second season was a slam dunk after a very successful launch in which Sarah Koenig and Julie Snyder investigated the true-crime case of Adnan Syed, a young man imprisoned for life for killing an ex-girlfriend. Syed, who has maintained his innocence in the strangulation of Hae Min Lee in 1999 was granted a request for review by Maryland’s Court of Special Appeals after Serial dissected the evidence against him last year.

He should be begging to be with you. But that’s not what he does. He doesn’t share his emotions. You know what’s going to happen to this relationship in the future: He is going to get upset, and he’s going to break up with you when you least expect it. It might happen next year, it could happen in the next few years, it could happen after you get married and have a kid. And it won’t be his fault. This is who you chose. You are with a man who shuts down, gives no reason why and has no reason to change — he knows that you will come running back the next time he does this to you. Forget calling him a sociopath — focus on yourself. One question: Why did you run back to him? Love can’t be the only reason. It can be one of the reasons, but there’s something happening with you.

Starting the healing RESIDENTIAL SCHOOL REPORT JUST THE BEGINNING FOR SURVIVORS BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Mike Cachagee was just four-and-a-half when he was taken from his home and sent to a residential school in northern Ontario. For the next 12 years, he never celebrated a birthday. He was never hugged. He never heard “I love you.” He was never encouraged or praised. He was beaten and sexually abused. When he and his younger brother finally returned home, his mother had remarried and started a new family. She barely recognized her sons. It took Cachagee two failed marriages, years of alcohol and drug abuse and therapy before he started to come to grips with what happened to him. His brother never did. He descended into a life of addiction on Winnipeg’s streets. “He was only three years old when he went there,” Cachagee said. “He came out when he was 16 and the rest of his life was just a mess with alcoholism. “Just horrid. He never had a chance — all because he was sent off to a residential school.” The brothers rarely speak now. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission examining Canada’s Indian residential schools is to release a summary of its final report Tuesday after hearing testimony from 7,000 survivors. The final report marks the end of a fiveyear exploration of one of the darkest chap-
ters in Canada’s history. About 150,000 First Nations, Inuit and Metis children were taken from their families and forced to attend government schools over much of the last century. The last school closed outside Regina in 1996. For survivors such as Cachagee, the torment doesn’t abate with the commission’s report. “We don’t need to heal, we need to rebuild,” said Cachagee, who now counsels other survivors in Sault Ste Marie, Ont. Ken Young remembers the day in the 1950s when he was taken from his home at age eight along with his brothers and sisters. He remembers boarding a train with other aboriginal children and the laughter while on the novel journey. Then they reached the Prince Albert Indian Residential School in Saskatchewan. “We were lonesome,” Young said. “I remember a lot of us crying a lot.” There were public floggings in the dining hall. Children had their heads shaved and their legs shackled in pyjamas because they had tried to go home. The school was more like a prison, he said. “I thought it was normal because I was just a young guy. Later, I realized how bad that was that adults would treat children like that,” said Young, a Winnipeg lawyer. “I was ashamed to be who I was because that’s what we were taught.” It took a long time to let go of his anger. Young is hoping the commission will rec-
ommend a healing strategy developed by survivors that will address the aftermath of Canada’s failed policy to “take the Indian out of the child.” But he suspects the commission’s report will go the way of the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples. “There’ll be recommendations made and then it will go on a shelf like all the other reports that have been sanctioned by government. “I’m not overly optimistic.” David Harper is more interested in what happens after the final report. Harper’s mother was in a residential school, but the first time he heard details of her abuse was at her compensation hearing with adjudicators before she died. “Every word that came out of her mouth, I kept thinking, ‘How dare you Canada, allowing this to happen to my mom.”’ Just recently, Harper, who is the grand chief of Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak representing Manitoba’s northern First Nations, learned one of his uncles was in a residential school and was whipped until he defecated. Those stories are just starting to be told, Harper said. Harper points to Israel where one of the Holocaust memorials includes an eternal flame. “I would like to see something like that for our First Nations, where they could go and sit down and tell their stories to their children,” he said. “We want to make sure we don’t pass on this generational curse.”
Vatican sees 147 reports join us this of suspicious transactions with anti-moneylaundering norms BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS VATICAN CITY — The Vatican’s financial watchdog agency says it received 147 reports of suspicious financial transactions last year, a sign that tough new anti-money laundering norms are taking hold at its scandal-marred bank. The Financial Information Authority released its annual report Friday. It showed a slight decline in the number of suspicious reports received in 2014 compared to the 202 received in 2013. In 2012, when the Vatican’s efforts at greater financial controls were in their infancy, only six suspicious transactions were reported. Of the 147 transactions that were flagged as potentially problematic in 2014, the agency forwarded seven to Vatican prosecutors for investigation. The report said most concerned suspected fraud or tax fraud. Emeritus Pope Benedict XVI created the agency in 2010 to comply with international anti-moneylaundering norms.

SCITUATE, Mass. — Parishioners occupying a Roman Catholic church south of Boston for nearly 11 years have gotten a reprieve from a court-ordered deadline to leave by Friday. A state judge earlier this month ordered the defiant members of St. Frances Xavier Cabrini Roman Catholic Church in Scituate to end their occupation by Friday. But the group immediately asked the court to delay the deadline since it is appealing the ruling. In response, Norfolk County Superior Court Judge Edward Leibensperger changed his order. Late last week, he said the date when protesters would be barred from the church would be determined when he decides on the group’s request to suspend the order pending their appeal. The Boston Archdiocese opposed the delay in court filings this week. “It gives everyone some ’breathing space’,” Mary Elizabeth Carmody, an attorney for the parishioners, said by email late Thursday. “The court needs time to consider the papers and write his ruling. He modified the injunction date last week because he knew he would need time.” The archdiocese, through a spokesman, said it would not take any action Friday to push the protesters out. The parishioners have occupied the church since the archdiocese closed it in 2004 to address mounting debts. The archdiocese took the group to court this year after protesters refused to end their vigil, despite losing an appeal before a Vatican high court. Organizers want the archdiocese to restore their parish’s standing or sell them the building. They say they’re prepared to be arrested as trespassers if necessary. The archdiocese hasn’t said what it would do if protesters refuse to leave.

Atrocious first quarter prediction rings true BANK OF CANADA FORECAST ACCURATE AS ECONOMY SHRINKS BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - When Bank of Canada governor Stephen Poloz veered off script earlier this year to deliver a stunner that Canada’s first-quarter numbers would look “atrocious” — he wasn’t kidding. The sharp collapse in oil prices, and the failure of other sectors to pick up the slack, helped push the economy into reverse over the first three months of the year, Statistics Canada said Friday. The country’s real gross domestic product for the first quarter shrank by 0.6 per cent at an annualized rate. The number rang in below expectations, marking the first time the GDP growth rate slipped under zero since the fourth quarter of 2011. It was also the deepest Canada’s real GDP plunged into negative territory in nearly six years, when it fell by 3.6 per cent during the recession-battered second quarter of 2009, Statistics Canada said. The dismal report threatens to echo in the federal political realm, since it comes less than five months before voters are scheduled to go to the polls. The economy remains an ever-important ballot-box issue. Officials, however, had cautioned Canadians to brace for a rough economic ride in the early months of 2015. Poloz shocked observers in March when he warned, in a Financial Times interview, that the oil-price plunge would make Canada’s first-quarter numbers look “atrocious.” He later downgraded his GDP growth projection for that period to “zero per cent.”
The headline GDP figure released Friday turned out to be even worse. “The data is terrible,” said Krishen Rangasamy, senior economist at National Bank of Canada. Sifting through the underlying numbers, Rangasamy could find only the rare bright spot. He said there were few signs of the economy’s long-awaited turnaround, a pickup many expected would receive boosts from a weaker dollar, cheaper pump prices and low interest rates. Economic activity decreased in several categories, including business investment, exports, construction and — most of all — the important resources sector, which sank 2.7 per cent compared to the previous quarter. Exports, an area experts predict will benefit from the lower loonie, dropped 0.3 per cent — its second straight quarterly contraction. Household spending, another category expected to accelerate thanks in part to the more-favourable borrowing environment, only inched upwards by 0.1 per cent. It was the slowest growth in consumption in nearly three years. Rangasamy was encouraged that consumers’ real disposable income climbed by 6.2 per cent in the first quarter — the best since 2010. He predicted people should be ready to spend more in the second quarter after saving their pennies over the harsh winter. He also thinks one of the big factors behind the 0.8-per-cent drop in manufacturing — auto sales — was a temporary setback as Ontario plants closed for retooling.
Looking down the road, however, the disappointing contraction of 0.2 per cent for the month of March — also included in Friday’s report — suggests a slow start to the second-quarter period. Poloz has expressed cautious optimism for a 1.8-per-cent second-quarter rebound. “We’ve got our fingers crossed,” he said in March of second-quarter growth. BMO chief economist Doug Porter said Friday that the March decrease may have been the biggest “unwelcome” surprise in the data. He said the new numbers, combined with the expected economic impact of the Alberta wild fires, led BMO to chop its second-quarter GDP forecast Friday to just 0.5 per cent — down from two per cent. BMO’s overall 2015 projection has been shaved to 1.5 per cent, which he said would be the slowest growth for Canada — outside of recession — in at least the past three decades. The Bank of Canada has pinned its hopes for a turnaround on U.S. demand, which is still predicted to rise despite a slowing of the American economy in recent months. However, fresh data released Friday showed the U.S. economy shrank in the first quarter, contracting at an annual rate of 0.7 per cent. “As recently as six weeks ago, few would’ve believed that the U.S. growth numbers would look even weaker than Canada,” said Porter, who believes Poloz could lower the overnight interest rate again if the second quarter turns out to be a big disappointment.

BUSINESS BRIEF
New pipeline coating could cut down leaks and spills: official EDMONTON — A nanotechnology advancement being developed at Edmonton’s Northern Alberta Institute of Technology could hold the key to making pipelines safer. Reg Allen of Meso Coat Technology Canada says the spray coats the inside of the pipe and could
double the life of the line, even with something as corrosive as oil or gas flowing through it. Western Diversification Minister Michelle Rempel was in Edmonton Friday to announce the government is giving the company $1.5 million to develop the technology. She says the coating could be used in a wide variety of industries, not just oil and gas. Rempel says the company developing the coating needs to have specialized equipment to test the new materials and the federal money will help with that. NAIT president and CEO Glenn Feltham says the technology can be applied to pipeline work, construction and mining equipment.
A Red Deer entrepreneur, community builder and philanthropist has been named to the Alberta Order of Excellence. Jack Donald, 80, is one of eight Albertans who earned the highest honour an Alberta citizen can receive. Donald was named for his business success, community service, and as a promoter of business and culture. From a single service station, he and his wife Joan started what is now the largest independent distributor and marketer of fuel, Parkland Fuel. The Donalds’ generosity to Red Deer College helped create the Donald School of Business. A sizable gift to Westerner Park resulted in the creation of the Donald Administration Building. The Donalds have spearheaded fundraising efforts for groups as diverse as STARS, Festival of Trees, and the Red Deer Hospice. Jack Donald has served on many boards and commissions, including Canadian Western Bank, Red Deer College, Alberta Opportunity Company, STARS Air Ambulance and Westerner Park. He served two terms on Red Deer city council and has been involved in a number of Alberta tax review and reform commissions. This is the latest in a long line of accolades for Donald, who has been inducted into the Canadian Petroleum Hall of Fame and the Calgary Business Hall of Fame. He is also a past Red Deer Citizen of the Year. In announcing the 2015 awards, Lt.-Gov. Donald Ethell said: “These great Albertans have led the way in building our province. In addition to setting the standard of excellence in their respective fields of endeavour, they have inspired us all with their sterling citizenship and unwavering commitment to community service.” Donald will be invested into the order along with seven others at a ceremony on Oct. 14 in Edmonton. They are among 148 Albertans who have been invested into the Alberta Order of Excellence.
Plenty of room for young workers in growing businesses Dear Working Wise: My painting company is growing and so I’m considering hiring my niece to work with me this summer. Are there any issues with hiring a 15-year-old to paint houses? — Signed Concerned Contractor Dear Concerned: Young workers are covered by the same employment standards, e.g., holiday pay and minimum wage, as other workers, but there are some special rules employers should know when it comes to employing people under the age of 18. The restrictions for young workers involve hours of work and supervision. To learn more, visit http:// work.alberta.ca/es and click on the Employees Under Age 18 fact sheet or call the Alberta Employment Standards helpline at 1-877-427-3731. There are no Employment Standards against hiring a 15-year-old to paint houses—young workers, aged 15-17, can work at any type of job (other than serving alcohol). Retail store, gas station and hotel employees aged 15-17 must be in the continuous presence of an adult if they are working between 9 p.m. and midnight. And, they are not allowed to work at all between midnight and 6 a.m. Young workers employed outside those industries may work between midnight and 6 a.m. only if their parent givens written consent and they are under the continuous supervision of at least one adult.

The S&P/TSX composite index finished the last trading day of May down 92.91 points at 15,014.09, with the energy sector one of the few bright spots as oil prices turned sharply higher. Overall, it was a losing week on the Toronto Stock Exchange, which gave back a net 186 points. The loonie lost 0.01 of a U.S. cent to 80.41 cents. New York markets also finished the week lower than where they began, as the Dow Jones industrial average closed down 115.44 points at 18,010.68, while the Nasdaq fell 27.95 points to 5,070.03 and the S&P 500 declined 13.40 points to 2,107.39. Statistics Canada says the economy contracted at an annual pace of 0.6 per cent in the first three months of the year as weaker oil prices had a more severe impact than economists expected. It is the first time real GDP has dipped below zero since the fourth quarter of 2011 and the biggest slide into negative growth since the second quarter of 2009. The U.S. economy also contracted in the first quarter with gross domestic product weakening 0.7 per cent, far worse than the government’s initial estimate of growth of 0.2 per cent. Ian Riach, senior vice-president and portfolio manager at Franklin Templeton Institutional, said that while first-quarter GDP was disappointing, indicators as early as April showed things were beginning to turn around, especially south of the border.

The July crude contract rose $2.62 to US$60.30 a barrel but remains well below the highs of US$107 last summer. August gold gained $1 to US$1.189.80 an ounce. Next week, investors will take a number of important economic data, including jobs reports Friday in both Canada and the U.S. Meanwhile, debt-plagued Greece faces an important payment deadline to the IMF on Friday.

Oil downturn drags down GDP numbers EXPERTS SAY WORST OF SLUMP LIKELY OVER BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY - The ugliness isn’t over for Alberta’s oilpatch but the worst of it has likely passed, observers said Friday as Statistics Canada posted some gloomier-than-expected economic data. “I think the mood and apprehension was far worse in January than it is now,” said ATB Financial chief economist Todd Hirsch. “That said, you wouldn’t call the current environment bright.” The Statistics Canada figures showed the Canadian economy contracted by 0.6 per cent during the first quarter on an annualized basis - the worst performance in nearly six years and the first dip into negative territory since 2011. The discouraging news underscores the major role Alberta and its energy sector play in the Canadian economy, Hirsch said. In June 2014, the U.S. benchmark crude price averaged US$105.79 a barrel. By January of this year, it had shrivelled to just US$47.22 - a drop of about 55 per cent. For several weeks, West Texas Intermediate crude has been locked in the US$55 to US$60 range, but few in the oilpatch are celebrating as many projects need a higher price than that to turn a profit. At the beginning of the year, many were fretting about the prospect of US$30 oil, Hirsch recalls. “I think we really need, as Albertans, to guard against falling into too much pessimism,” he said. “I think this is going to be a garden-variety downturn, but nothing like some of the epic recessions we’ve seen in the past.”
Funding announced for 38 space-related projects CAMBRIDGE, Ont. - Research on a new instrument to more accurately detect radiation on board the International Space Station is just one of several dozen projects that will be funded under a Canadian Space Agency program.
On Thursday, the Conference Board of Canada said a recession in oil-centric Alberta is unavoidable this year, but it won’t be as bad as the 2008-2009 downturn. The Ottawa-based think tank is expecting the province’s economy to shrink by 0.7 per cent in 2015 before growing by a modest 1.1 per cent next year. The board expects 24,000 job losses in the construction and mining sectors, which would, in turn, hurt the housing market and retail sales. Alberta’s unemployment rate was 5.5 per cent in April, better than the national average of 6.8 per cent. But the job numbers are likely not reflecting the full impact of the crude slump yet, said the Conference Board’s Matthew Stewart. That’s because so many oilpatch workers don’t officially reside in Alberta, but fly in and out of work sites for a week or two at a time from Atlantic Canada and elsewhere. “Those are the first ones to take the impact,” said Stewart. “I think eventually we will start to see a pickup in unemployment, but I don’t think it will go up quite as high as Ontario.” Scott Smith, market analyst with Cambridge Mercantile Group, said most oilpatch players “have their hatches battened down” and have already made most of the cuts to spending and jobs they’ll need to ride through the slump. But that doesn’t mean the industry is out of the woods yet, he said. “I don’t think we’ve seen the final flow-through effects of job losses in the oilpatch. I think there’s a bit more pain to come, but I don’t think it’s cataclysmic at this point unless something really bad happens with oil in the next three to six months.” The radiation project will be undertaken by BTI - Bubble Technology Industries Inc., of Chalk River, Ont. Federal minister of state Gary Goodyear was in Cambridge, Ont., on Friday to announce that 21 high-tech firms will receive close to $13.1 million for research and development over two years. He made the announcement at the offices of COM DEV International Ltd., which will receive funding to complete seven projects.

Making the most of your tiny bathroom BY SARA KEHAULANI GOO SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE The charming 1930s-era brick home we bought in Washington eight years ago had exactly what we were looking for: enough space for our small family with room to grow, plus a neighborhood with great schools. The only problem? The master bathroom. The minute I saw the gray Formica vanity, the inch-thick gray tiles that lined the walls and the “hammered glass” shower door of our master bathroom, I promised that it would be the first remodeling project on our list. Instead, it was nearly last. Why? Sticker shock. As many homeowners quickly learn, gutting and remodeling a master bathroom can be as expensive as remodeling a kitchen. A Remodeling Magazine report comparing the cost against the value of renovations says a mid-level bathroom remodel this year in Washington costs $17,000 for a typical 5-by-7-foot space. Only 74 percent of that can be recouped at resale. For an upscale bathroom remodel of the same size, there’s less of a return. The average cost is $55,000 — yes, really — and one should expect to recover only 64 percent. For years, my husband and I did the math and balked. Let’s face it: In most cases, remodeling a bathroom is about aesthetics. If the toilet flushes, the sink isn’t creating water damage and the shower is structurally sound, there are plenty of reasons to keep it as is. (Besides, it’s not as though many visitors see the master bathroom.) On the other hand, the master bathroom is one room in the house, like the master bedroom, where you’re expected to allow yourself some privacy, relaxation, even a small luxury, such as a towel warmer or a shower head that pours water down from the ceiling. The name itself suggests a certain indulgence. One challenge in older homes that many master bathrooms are very small, built in an age before soaking tubs and double-sink, his-and-her vanities were common. But several remodeling pros say that doesn’t mean you can’t make the most of the space and enjoy more modern features. Here are some tips about how to maximize the space and save some money in the process. Vanity selection For small bathrooms, one of the most important decisions is what size and style sink and cabinet you choose. They often take up most of the space — if not physically, then visually. And in choosing one, the sink and vanity will set the tone for the rest of the bathroom. In smaller bathrooms, where the vanity is going to take up most of the real estate, there are two options: pedestal sink or a more European design, such as a sink and cabinet that attaches to the wall, since those manufacturers are used to designing for smaller

Goo ended up selecting a new sink that was smaller than the old one, which helped to make the space look bigger bathrooms. The pedestal sink looks attractive and frees up space but provides storage challenges that require some creativity, such as where to put the hair dryer and extra toilet paper rolls. But there are plenty of retailers, such as Container Store and World Market, and ideas on Pinterest where you can use small baskets or build shelves or cabinets elsewhere in the bathroom to make it work. If you decide to go with a cabinet and sink, several remodeling pros recommend choosing a slim design that doesn’t look too boxy and choosing light colors, which won’t draw as much attention as dark wood. One style popular these days are vanity cabinets with dresser-like legs, which allows some visual space so that you can see the floor, which also can help a small bathroom appear larger while also adding an updated look. Vanities, of course, can range in quality. Many bathroom showrooms feature vanity cabinets with granite or marble sinktops and customizable wood cabinet designs, starting at around $1,000. Big-box retailers offer similar-looking vanity designs at a fraction of the price, but the wood quality and the sink won’t be the same. Online, sites such as Signature Hardware (signaturehardware.com) and Decor Planet (decorplanet.com) offer a wider variety of styles, from modern to neoclassical, and their prices tend to be in between the big retailers and the higher-end retailers or bathroom showrooms. But the quality is hard to vouch for — few
have a large number of reviews that can provide consumers with extra comfort. For our bathroom, our problem was that we had limited depth to work with, since our master bathroom is about the size of a small walk-in closet. Most vanities sold at traditional retailers, such as Pottery Barn or Restoration Hardware, are built with 21-inch depth and 24- to 30-inch width. With ours, we had about 18 inches, max. Given our space constraints, we ended up finding one online that fit our style and space constraints. It was a little counter-intuitive, but we ended up buying a smaller sink than the one we had originally. For sure, we have less storage space, but the tiny bathroom now feels a little bit roomier than it used to. In a small bathroom, every inch counts. Finding new space If you’re planning to gut your bathroom and start over, you might ask your contractor to look for some “found space” by rethinking its previous configuration. For example, if your master bathroom has a large tub in it as well as a shower, consider removing the tub, says Jim McCoy, president of Bath Express, which has two showrooms in the Washington area. Most people don’t use their bathtubs, and they end up as wasted space — something you have to walk around, he says. “People used to like big tubs,” but today, people seem to have less time for using them and now want to relax
in the shower. “Now, they like very nice showers, with a nice handheld shower, a shower bench or maybe a rain shower head.” Another place to find space is in the walls. Once the old bathroom is gutted, contractors can frame the walls and find new spaces, for example, to build a shelf or a bench in the shower. It may not seem like much, but in a small bathroom, every corner that you can find to put to use can help. One designer, Elizabeth Boland of Design in a Day, says her favourite tip is to create a built-in cabinet in the wall space, between the frame. She then buys a mirror to cover it up and attaches hinges so it functions as a hidden storage space. “This is a secret everyone should know,” Boland says. She recommends building the cabinet as tall as possible in the wall. And she has done it often enough for clients that she even buys the same mirror from Ikea to create the look. “It’s not deep enough for toilet paper, but you can put a lot of other things in there.” Another area to consider is the bathroom door. Simple as it sounds, the space where the bathroom door swings open may be taking up extra room that makes the space feel smaller. Contractors can remove the door and either create a “pocket” door that slides into the wall or they can move the door hinge so that it swings out, opening into the outer room instead of the bathroom.

Many people in a narrow space Question: Our long and narrow living room seems unusually difficult to furnish. It is a newly built home in a wonderful, countrylike area. However, having people over is always awkward because I am trying to achieve maximum seating capacity while maintaining a comfortable traffic flow through the room. When all the family is together, there are 14 adults and six children, although I realize that not all can be seated in the room without bringing in occasional chairs. The room features a large, DAVID antique chest from ShangFERGUSON hai, a piano, and a few seating pieces, but unfortunately there are too few. I do want to buy additional seating for at least three more people, but I am not sure what size, how many and where they should be placed. Although the fireplace is centred on one long wall, the French doors on the opposite wall create a problem, and here I have thought of using a bi-fold glass doors. Is there anything you can recommend to help? Answer: Very few homes average-size homes today can accommodate 20 people, even if six of them sit on the laps of others. The problem with planning a space for regular use by a large group is that the room runs the risk of looking like a waiting room when not used. It should be comfortable enough for two or three without appearing congested or worse, inadequate for your needs. Because your room is more that twice as long as it is wide, I strongly suggest that you review the following design rules of thumb before you explore the furniture stores for new seating pieces. Always place seating comfortably close so that people don’t have to speak too loudly in order to be heard. Generally, conversational areas should be about 3.6 metres square (approximately 12 feet square). Keep the main traffic areas free of major obstacles, allowing at least two feet of clearance between furniture pieces. The exception here might be the small items that can easily be moved out of the way, such as foot stools and small tables. Smaller items can look lost in a large room, so think about scale and balance when arranging your existing furniture. Arrange the furniture around the room’s focal points; in your case, the fireplace is a clear highlight of the room. My plan has tried to incorporate these guidelines by beginning with the fireplace as a pivotal feature in the design. Opposite it, your current sofa sits comfortably along the longest expanse of wall and is coupled with a large arm chair and love seat to provide permanent seating for at least 6 adults.

BATHROOM: Secret cabinet In our bathroom, we didn’t have enough room to adopt Boland’s secret cabinet idea, but we did find a tiny space to build a niche in the shower wall so we finally had room to put our shampoo and soap. And we made space in the wall to put in a larger recessed medicine cabinet that fits inside the wall rather than sticking out from it, giving us more space for toiletries. Lighting and tile Nothing opens up a space like new lighting. Many old homes were not built with a light above the shower, which my contractor, Neil Jannsen, highly recommends for all of his bathroom remodel clients. Initially, some clients are surprised at the suggestion of shining a light over the space, but it can add depth to the room and make it look larger. “I don’t think you can have too much lighting,” said Jannsen of Jannsen Design. “Some folks have gotten used to older bathrooms being so dark. But once you get it in there, you realize how it shows the whole bathroom off.
You want it to show off all the tile and things you’ve put your money into.” With lighting, one has to also consider wall color and tile selection; in a small bathroom, the tile can easily dominate the color scheme. Several designers recommended looking for classic designs, such as subway tiles, or ones that are oriented horizontally, particularly in the shower. This helps to create a visual effect that the shower is larger than it is. Jannsen also recommends using tile all the way to the ceiling in a bathroom, which creates a similar effect, and trying not to “do too much” in terms of adding extras in the shower. For example, many bathroom showrooms today have tile showers that feature a horizontal strip of “accent” tile that is different from the rest of the bathroom tile, often glass or a unique design to introduce another tile color or pattern. But in a small bathroom, these can be distracting, Jannsen says. He cautions the same for people who may really want to try to install a lot of extra shower head plumbing, such as side sprays or elaborate shower systems. “Keep it simple in the tile department and in the shower fixture department,” he said, “just so that there’s fluidity to it and the design is pleasing.” Goo is a freelance writer and former editor of The Washington Post’s Real Estate section.

Q: I’m spending more time helping my parents. How does private home care work? Is it an option for our family?
We encourage clients to start the care process by contacting their local Alberta Health Services Home Care office to see which services they can access free of charge. Public home care staff are knowledgeable about the resources available to clients in their communities. Private home care companies, like Retire-At-Home, often works in close collaboration with the public home care team to supplement the care clients have in place. Private home care starts with a friendly, no-obligation consultation to build a custom care plan. Retire-At-Home always takes the time to meet with clients and their families to fully understand the client’s needs, preferences and budgets. Getting to know our clients ensures we develop highly effective care plans that address their specific needs. We also pay particular attention to matching clients with the right caregivers. This allows us to build amazing relationships with our home care clients. We continuously evaluate our clients’ care plans, and work seamlessly as part of their care team. This includes collaborating with other health professionals to ensure quality and consistent care. Our staff are regularly monitored to ensure everyone is satisfied. Retire-At-Home provides clients with choices during times of need. Private home care is often more affordable than moving into a facility setting. Clients and families are choosing private home care because they want to stay in the home they love.
Jackie and John Van Langen are Registered Nurses and the Executive Directors of Retire-At-Home Services in Red Deer and Central Alberta.

Laminate floor under cabinets?
Contributed photo
Because very few homes built today are designed to accommodate 20 people, the area has to be designed in a unique and custom way.
STORY FROM PAGE D2
DESIGN: Criteria in mind leaves just one place for piano An ottoman, footstools, and occasional chairs from other rooms may be brought in as the need arises, and the new openness of the space allows ample room for that. Conspicuously absent from my plan is your piano. Positioning a piano to look good and function correctly isn’t always easy. An upright piano looks best placed within definite bounds — an alcove, for example. In all cases, pianos should be placed out of the way of climatic changes such as windows, openings and heating/cooling registers. With that criteria in mind, your piano really has only one place in the
room where it should be placed, and that is between the French doors and kitchen door. But unfortunately, that is really the only place on which to place any substantial seating pieces. My best advice here is to find a more suitable location for the piano, perhaps in the adjoining family or hallway. When choosing a colour scheme, it is always best to pick a signature piece as the focus for your decorating decisions. This could be a beautiful fabric, an area rug, a picture, a piece of pottery, dishes, or a postcard. The item should incorporate both the colour scheme of the room as well as the style and mood you hope to create.
Question: Can I safely install laminate flooring where we’ll be putting kitchen cabinets? Our flooring installer says no way, but our cabinet guy says he puts base cabinets over laminates all the time with no issues. Our new cabinets have open legs, so we need to make the floor look good underneath. STEVE A n s w e r : MAXWELL In my experience, laminate manufacturers always recommend against installing flooring under cabinets, presumably because it can cause the floor to buckle in time. That said, people I know have installed laminates under cabi-
HOUSEWORKS
nets with no issues. If it were my situation, and I had my heart set on using cabinets with legs, I’d give it a try, making sure there was expansion space between the wall and the edge of the floor opposite the cabinet. You need to avoid anchoring the cabinets to the floors in any way. Just fasten them to the wall.
Wonky tabletop Question: What can I do to straighten boards of a wooden patio tabletop? It’s made of knotty pine and the wood is sealed with stain. Will the boards straighten themselves in time, or do I need to do something? Answer: When wood decides to change shape, there’s really nothing that can be done to stop it. I doubt the wood will straighten out itself, so there’s really nothing to do but live with the shape.

STORY FROM PAGE D3 Curved boards won’t affect the life of the table, but it’s not unusual for knotty wood like No. 2 pine to develop cracks and warps in time. Sorry I couldn’t be of more help, but wood usually has the last word in these matters. It does what it wants to do. Oil finishes are the best for outdoor wood furniture, but even these can’t do much to stop wood that wants to make trouble.
Underlay for new shingles?
Photo by ROBERT MAXWELL/freelance
This roof underlay keeps water from leaking into the house, but allows water vapour to dry and escape if it forms below the roof. roof structure if need arises. That’s what I now have under my current shingles. Steve Maxwell lives under fibreglass shingles that
sit on the best underlay he could find for his home on Manitoulin Island. Sign up to learn more from Steve at SteveMaxwell.ca.

Question: Is underlay necessary beneath new shingles? A reputable roofer is quoting townhouses where I live. He says underlay is unnecessary and a waste of money. He refuses to apply anything more than just shingles on the bare wood, even if we’re willing to pay for underlay. Why is he taking this position? Should we run from him or join the neighbour’s in a low bid? Answer: I don’t know what this roofer’s motivation might be, but I’d run. Here’s why: Back in 1989, when I shingled the roof on the house I built for myself, I was convinced by a professional roofer that I didn’t need to install underlay. Several years later, when my family and I came back after a week away at Christmas, I found that an extreme wind storm had torn shingles off my roof in our absence, exposing bare wood underneath. New Year’s Day it was -10C and I found myself climbing the snow-covered surface of my 45-degree angle roof as the sun rose, replacing shingles as a wind started to pick up. If I had installed a good underlay initially, my home wouldn’t have been completely vulnerable and I could have waited for a good day to repair the damage. I now always install the best underlay I can under every roof I shingle. Ice and water shield is a thick, sticky, durable underlay and is the ultimate second layer of protection for roofs. I know of no valid reason why a person wouldn’t want to install it over the entire roof surface. Perhaps the roofer is concerned with trapped moisture vapour under the ice and water shield. In that case, ask him to install a breathable roof underlay like DELTA-ROOF S or some similar product. It’s tough, yet allows water vapour to escape from the

Ollie was a schoolteacher all her life, starting in a one room school near Penhold. She taught in Vegreville and at Senator Buchanan and Lakeview School in Lethbridge. She loved to be out in her garden, growing many different kinds of flowers, but her passion was growing roses. Ollie was a kind and gentle lady, and will be dearly missed by her family. If friends so desire, memorial tributes in Olive’s name may be made directly to the Alzheimer’s Society, 402, 740 - 4 Avenue South, Lethbridge, Alberta T1J 0N9 (www.alzheimer.ca/ab). A very special thanks to the staff at Linden View. Your care and compassion was greatly appreciated. Arrangements in care of SOUTHLAND FUNERAL CHAPEL, 5006 - 48 Avenue, Taber, Alberta T1G 1R8.

MORTON Kenneth Maxwell Sept. 26, 1935 - May 25, 2015 Born September 26, 1935 in Red Deer, Alberta to John and Mayme Morton; Ken was the oldest of 2 children. He attended school in Brookfield and Red Deer before graduating in 1954 from Olds School of Agriculture, and in 1958 from the University of Alberta with a degree in Agrology. Soon after graduation, he returned to farm with his father at the family homestead near Joffre which was established in 1900 by his grandparents, John and Jenny Morton. In 1963 he married Sally Hazlett (predeceased 2011) and together raised three children. At the age of 79, Kenneth (Ken) lost his battle to cancer at the Red Deer Regional Hospital. He was an active member of his community, volunteering his time with the Red Deer Farmer’s Bonspiel executive, 4-H, Scout’s Canada, Red Deer Westerner executive and as an elder in the Presbyterian Church. He was an avid traveler and a perpetual learner. Ken will be forever remembered by his partner Norma Camman and by his children Cara (Darin), Kalen (Tanya) and Shawn; four grandchildren Cole, Garrett, Damon and Finley, his sister Joan (Laurie) and niece Alison. We wish to thank the staff at Unit 32 for their loving care during his illness. He will be dearly missed. Please join us for a celebration of his life at the Lacombe Memorial Centre (LMC), Lacombe, AB on Friday, June 5, 2015 at 1:00 pm.

SKELTON Koreen April 17, 1965 - May 22, 2015 It is with great sadness we announce the sudden passing of Koreen Skelton at the age of 50. Koreen is survived by her husband of 32 years, Ron Skelton. Koreen was born in Calgary and attended school at E.P. Scarlett. Shortly after she turned 18, Koreen married the love of her life on April 22, 1983. She was a real animal person, often referring to her three dogs, Honey, Junior and Harry, as her children and yet would never turn away a stray cat. Koreen enjoyed cross-stitch, scrapbooking, crafts, and was a big fan of country and Christmas music. Her smile could light up a room and she will be deeply missed by all who knew her. Those who wish to pay their respects may do so on Monday, June 1, 2015 at 1:00 p.m. at Red Deer Funeral Home, 6150 - 67 Street, Red Deer, Alberta. A Funeral Service will follow at 2:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations in Koreen’s honour may be made directly to your local S.P.C.A. Condolences may be forwarded to the family by visiting .reddeerfuneralhome.com. Arrangements entrusted to RED DEER FUNERAL HOME 6150 - 67 Street, Red Deer. Phone (403) 347-3319.

U.S.—CUBA RELATIONS
Cuba removed from terrorism list BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS HAVANA — The Obama administration formally removed Cuba from the U.S. terrorism blacklist Friday, a decision hailed in Cuba as the healing of a decades-old wound and an important step toward normalizing relations between the Cold War foes. Secretary of State John Kerry signed off on rescinding Cuba’s “state sponsor of terrorism” designation exactly 45 days after the Obama administration informed Congress of its intent to do so on April 14. Lawmakers had that amount of time to weigh in and try to block the move, but did not do so. “The 45-day congressional prenotification period has expired, and the secretary of state has made the final decision to rescind Cuba’s designation as a state sponsor of terrorism, effective today, May 29, 2015,” the State Department said in a statement. “While the United States has significant concerns and disagreements with a wide range of Cuba’s policies and actions, these fall outside the criteria relevant to the rescission of a state sponsor of terrorism designation,” the statement said. The step comes as officials from the two countries continue to hash out details for restoring full diplomatic relations, including opening embassies in Washington and Havana and returning ambassadors to the two countries for the first time since the U.S. severed diplomatic relations with the island in January 1961. The removal of Cuba from the terrorism list had been a key Cuban demand. The Cold War-era designation was levied mainly for Cuba’s support of leftist guerrillas around the world and isolated the communist island from much of the world financial system because banks fear repercussions from doing business with designated countries. Even Cuba’s Interests Section in Washington lost its bank in the United States, forcing it to deal in cash until it found a new banker this month. Banks continue to take a cautious tone about doing business with Cuba since U.S. laws still make the island off limits for U.S. businesses. Leaders of the Republicans-controlled House have shown zero interest in repealing the laws from the 1990s that codified the U.S. embargo on trade with Cuba. “Taking Cuba off the terrorism list is one step toward normalization, but for doing business down there, we have a long way to go,” said Rob Rowe, vice-president and associate chief council at the American Bankers Association. In a blog post, the White House called the decision on the terrorism list another step toward improving relations with Cuba. “For 55 years, we tried using isolation to bring about change in Cuba,” it said. “But by isolating Cuba from the United States, we isolated the United States from the Cuban people and, increasingly, the rest of the world.” The terrorism list was a particularly charged issue for Cuba because of the U.S. history of supporting exile groups responsible for attacks on the island, including the 1976 bombing of a Cuban passenger flight from Barbados that killed 73 people aboard. The attack was linked to Cuban exiles with ties to U.S.-backed anti-Castro groups and both men accused of masterminding the crime took shelter in Florida, where one, Luis Posada Carriles, currently lives. “I think this could be a positive act that adds to hope and understanding and can help the negotiations between Cuba and the United States,” said director Juan Carlos Cremata, who lost his father in the 1976 bombing. “It’s a list we never should have been on,” said Ileana Alfonso, who also lost her father in the attack. Top U.S. Republicans criticized the move, with House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio saying the Obama administration had “handed the Castro regime a significant political win in return for nothing.” “The communist dictatorship has offered no assurances it will address its long record of repression and human rights at home,” Boehner said in a statement. Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush said the decision was a mistake and called it “further evidence that President Obama seems more interested in capitulating to our adversaries than in confronting them.”

Students in Grades 1 to 4 took part in the days activities centred on bike handling skills and bike safety. The City Wide Bike Roadeo goes today at the Kinsmen Community Arenas, at 5 McIntosh Ave. The City of Red Deer and Better Biking Red Deer are hosting the annual event from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Elementary school aged children will demonstrate their bicycle skills and bike safety knowledge in a non-competitive environment. Three children from each grade, about 90 in total, have been chosen to represent their school and take part in the activities. Sponsored by the Piper Creek Optimist Club, the event gives children the chance to work together in fine tuning their bike safety skills just in time for summer, while hoping to win one of the terrific prizes.

ANNIE: For yourself and your kids You also can contact Gam-Anon (gam-anon.org) and Al-Anon (al-anon. alateen.org) for yourself and your kids. Then look into free or low-cost counseling through local churches, graduate school counseling departments, medical school psychology departments, United Way, the YMCA, the YWCA, the Samaritan Institute (samaritaninstitute.org), NAMI (nami.org) and support groups such as the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance (dbsalliance. org) and Recovery International (lowselfhelpsystems.org). Dear Annie: I know it’s late, but I have a suggestion for “Under the Table in Indiana,” who is arguing with his siblings about selling Dad’s home and moving him into an assisted living facility. Please tell him to consult an elder care attorney. My husband and his siblings did this while their mother was making that transition. The lawyer helped us structure the
home sale and finances in order to best protect my mother-in-law’s assets, while making sure we didn’t unknowingly do anything to jeopardize her position (like liquidate and disburse assets prematurely). -- Daughter-in-Law in Minnesota Dear Minnesota: Often, even children with the best of intentions aren’t sure how to proceed when it comes to the care of a parent and the arrangements that need to be made. The resulting power struggle helps no one. Consulting with an unbiased third party is usually the best way to go, and an elder care attorney would certainly be an excellent choice for the position.

Discovery-based learning to blame for students’ declining math skills: report A new report suggests that Canada’s math teachers need to shift their focus away from discovery-based learning and move back towards traditional methods. The report from the C.D. Howe Institute says that Canadian students’ math performance in international exams has been declining between 2003 and 2012. The report says that all but two provinces showed statistically significant declines on the exams administered by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development. Report author Anna Stokke says teachers should base 80 per cent of their math classes on direct learning such as memorizing multiplication tables and practising long division. She says only 20 per cent should come from discovery-based learning techniques, which see students rely more on independent problem-solving and hands-on materials and less on instructions from the teacher. Stokke also says most provincial math curricula need to start teaching concepts such as fraction, addition and subtraction at earlier grade levels. Stokke’s report said the preference for direct learning is based on the way the human memory functions. It said discovery-based learning puts too much burden on a person’s working memory, which can only retain information for a few seconds at a time. Asking students to master division through drawing pictures or other discovery-based techniques makes the learning process more complex than it needs to be, the report said, adding
NJ.com reports the rock star and American Idol judge was listed on concert websites ReverbNation and Eventful as performing a Saturday morning show at Windsor Farm & Market. Farm owner Wayne Kalinowski says he was tipped to the problem when a woman wanted to know more about the venue. After Kalinowski reported the issue, West Windsor police sent an email alert Wednesday telling residents Tyler wasn’t coming. Lt. Robert Garafolo says there does not seem to be criminal intent. Tyler’s publicist Amanda Ruisi says Tyler was never booked to perform at the farm. No one from either website can be reached to comment.

this approach is currently endorsed in six provincially approved math textbooks. Stokke said tackling math instruction through direct learning may be more repetitive, but ultimately more successful. When information in our working memory is sufficiently practised, it is then committed to long-term memory, after which it may be recalled later,“ the report said. “An expert in mathematics stores a wealth of information in long-term memory, acquired through hours of experience and practice; when a new problem is encountered, knowledge and techniques are recalled from longterm memory to solve it.” The report cited Canada’s performance on the OECD’s Program of International Student Assessment (PISA) as evidence that a fundamental shift in math instruction may be necessary. The report said that eight of 10 provinces recorded statistically significant decreases in PISA scores between 2003 and 2012, adding Quebec held steady while Saskatchewan logged a much smaller decline. The scores dropped particularly sharply in Manitoba and Alberta. By 2012, Manitoba had joined Newfoundland and Labrador and Prince Edward Island as provinces with total scores below the OECD average. In addition to her other recommendations, Stokke also suggested that future instructors should be required to pass a math content licensure exam before being allowed to teach the subject.
