THE SPRAY’S THE THING, WHEREIN I’LL CATCH A GOOD SOAKING

ARTHUR ELLIS AWARD

Author lauded for youth mystery BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF Red Deer author Sigmund Brouwer won Canada’s top crime fiction award for his youth novel Dead Man’s Switch. Getting the Arthur Ellis Award for best juvenile novel is “very, very thrilling,” said Brouwer. “Believe me, I was surprised when they called my name — and delighted!” Since the prize is named for a historic Canadian hangman, a trophy resembling a hanged man was presented to him last week at a ceremony at Toronto’s Arts and Letters Club. Brouwer said the “unique” Sigmund Brouwer piece of hardware has a place of honour on top of his bookshelf. While the prolific author has four million copies of his books in print, so far he’s written only three titles in the youth mystery genre. His Dead Man’s Switch, published by the American firm Harvest House, is about a teenage boy who becomes endangered when he sets out to unravel a dark conspiracy. It’s a case of the hunter becoming the hunted on a remote island in a plot inspired by Brouwer’s own adolescent reading of The Most Dangerous Game, a short story by Richard Connell. “I thought it was a fascinating concept,” said Brouwer, whose novel includes the use of modern devices to solve various dilemmas. “The protagonist uses some new technology to defeat the bad guy.” He added Dead Man’s Switch was written carefully and seriously, as “young readers are smart. I wanted to write this as well as if I was writing a grown-up novel.”

Central Alberta losing two outdoor music festivals BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF You win some, you lose some, when it comes to outdoor music festivals in Central Alberta. Although a splashy new music event was recently announced for our area — the Summer Sensation Beach Music Festival that will bring Hedley, Our Lady Peace, Dragonette and other groups to Sylvan Lake on July 10 and 11 — two other festivals are now not happening in the region. The Tail Creek Mud and Music Festival and the

Central Music Festival are not going ahead as expected this summer in Central Alberta. Instead, Tail Creek’s organizers are moving what was supposed to be an outdoor event in Alix, indoors to Edmonton after running out of time for site improvements. The festival that will feature Billy Talent, Limp Bizkit, Bad Religion and other rock and punk groups will now take place at Edmonton’s Shaw Conference Centre from June 25 to 27.

Sylvan Lake artists Marian Jacoba Shilka (left) and Mary Grace Toth want to see the town’s historic Stone Castle preserved. Built around 1905 by one of the town’s earliest residents, it was a labour of love for Raymond Archambault, who created it to remind his wife, Eugenie, of her family castle back in France.

SYLVAN LAKE — Almost hidden by runaway greenery, its stonework crumbling, the Stone Castle has lost much of its romance. But make no mistake, a love story lies behind the Lilliputian castle on 50A Avenue just a couple of blocks west of the main street. The building that locals call the Stone Castle once boasted distinctive gap-toothed walls, a tower, stained glass windows and grand arched entrance. It was built in 1905 by Raymond Archambault, his stone mason brother Charles and Andre Ballu, who were part of a small French community that settled around Sylvan Lake at the turn of the last century. The castle was the dream of Raymond, who wanted to build a home for his wife, who came with the impressive name of Eugenie Marie Marguerite Henriettie Thomi. Eugenie came from an aristocratic family (her father was a famous French composer of the day) and this modest Canadian castle was modelled on the ancestral fortress on their lands in southern France. “When (Eugenie) married Raymond, she married out of class,” says local artist Marian Jacoba Shilka. “He built this castle to make her feel at home.

THE STONE CASTLE “It’s a love story.” Shilka and artist and friend Mary Grace Toth are determined to ensure the story of the Archambaults, and this testament to their fairy-tale romance, is not lost. The castle was a labour of love in the truest, handblistering, back-breaking and sweat-stained sense. Stones were gathered from the shores of Sylvan Lake, dragged on a deerskin to a raft, which was then floated to town to be off-loaded. No doubt bemused neighbours would offer a wheelbarrow and later a team of horses and a wagon to speed up the short uphill trip to the building site. How long Raymond and his wife lived in their cosy castle keep isn’t clear. In 1913, he started the town’s first newspaper, but by the start of the First World War he and his wife had moved to Montreal, where Raymond became French consul. The Stone Castle changed hands many times over the years, becoming a shop at one point. It has now sat empty for a decade, and time has worked its slow erosion and vandals their much-faster destruction.

Restoration of education funding ‘a good news story’ BY MARY-ANN BARR ADVOCATE STAFF

CHINOOK’S EDGE

The superintendant of Chinook’s Edge School Division said restored funding sends a positive message about education being a priority for the new provincial government. Kurt Sacher said on Monday that the funding — announced by Rachel Notley’s NDP government late last week — is a “good news story.” “They went further, to stop the bleeding, if you will, in some of the other areas that were cut back. It hasn’t completely resolved all of our problems but it’s definitely a very positive gesture.” The government restored facilities and maintenance (non-teaching) funding that was going to be cut by the previous Progressive Conservative government. It will also now allow school boards to use reserves. And the government provide funding for 12,000 new students expected provincewide in the next school year. The province will be also provide an additional $103 million in education funding, something that was not anticipated by the school district. Chinook’s Edge will now see their overall operating funding go from $102.4 million to $105.7 million next year.

Sacher said Chinook’s Edge school board took a bit of a risk reaching into emergency reserves to move forward with their budget. They anticipated the NDP government would allow them to use reserves. The school district needs to use $700,000 in emergency reserves to replace their depleted fleet of school buses. The school board was also banking on getting funding for new students. They are anticipating between 125 and 150 more students, which could result in $700,000 to $800,000 in new funding. The district has about 11,000 students now. The key message is that the board had already stretched the envelope by digging really deeply into reserves and were looking to go further down that road, Sacher said. Significant cuts over the past three or four years to grants for facilities and maintenance grants would have seen the district go into a $150,000 to $200,000 deficit next year. But the new money will restore this, he said. The district has already made $600,000 in reductions to this part of the budget.

BRIEF RCMP investigating tire theft Red Deer RCMP are investigating the theft of almost $11,000 worth of tires from Kal Tire at 50th Avenue and 67th Street. Sometime overnight on May 26, someone broke into a large locked storage container on the property and stole 37 tires of various brands. Anyone with information about this theft can call Red Deer RCMP at 403-343-5575. To remain anonymous call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or report it online at www.tipsubmit.com.

811 Health Link: Less dialing for those looking for medical information EDMONTON — Albertans can now get free, 24-hour access to health information and advice by dialing 811. The three numbers for Health Link replace the 10-digit local numbers that were used in Calgary and Edmonton as well as the provincewide toll-free number. The old numbers will continue to direct callers to Health Link for a time. Alberta Health Services says the province’s adoption of 811 will create consistency. Health Link was used by more than one million Albertans last year.

Instead, a few special events are planned, including a joint concert between some local jazz players and the Red Deer Symphony Orchestra on Sunday, Aug. 16, at Bower Ponds in Red Deer. However, area music lovers can still groove to tunes at the new Summer Sensations Beach Music Festival in Centennial Park in Sylvan Lake — as well as the Alberta’s Own Independent Music Festival from Aug. 14 to 16 at the Tail Creek Raceways near Alix. This 14th-annual event offers camping, as well as performances from Northern Pikes, The Odds, The Grapes of Wrath and other bands.

CASTLE: Owner’s ambition for site unknown Shilka and Toth recently approached town council to revive efforts to create a bylaw identifying and offering some level of protection to local historical landmarks, with the Stone Castle and an unrelated 1911 stone-built house in mind. Two previous owners of the Stone Castle had begun the process of seeking provincial historical designation for the house, but never followed through.

Shilka and Toth say their goal is about more than preserving a somewhat eccentric house that has, unfortunately, lost some of its charm to a century’s worth of makeshift renovations. Toth and Shilka’s quest is about remembering some of the town’s earliest pioneers. “It’s not only the history of the castle. The people who built it were instrumental in building Sylvan Lake,” said Shilka. “We feel they need to be honoured. “To see it deteriorate doesn’t do justice to what they did.” Stained glass windows are long gone and the very castle-like crenellated walls were lost to a wooden second-storey addition. A ramshackle extension was added to the back sometime in the distant past, judging by its condition, and the impressive arched entrance was crudely cinder-blocked in to create a foyer. Toth sees potential to turn the building into a tourist information centre, or even a tourist attraction in its own right. A museum or speciality shop could also work. If rebuilding the much-ravaged interior finds no takers, Toth said the castle’s stone walls could harbour a small garden and the site become a park. Another option might be to relocate the castle to create a monument elsewhere in town. Currently, the house and lot are owned by an Edmonton man, whose ambitions for the site remain unknown. Shilka and Toth say they are determined not to lose something so special. “When you walk into this area, you feel like you’ve entered France,” says Shilka. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

Judges called the book a “cleverly crafted intense mystery thriller” that’s loaded with action, humour, believable characters, plot twists — and food for thought: “Frighteningly realist in its exploration of the secrets and abuses of power that are hidden in today’s world, teens will have plenty to think about and discuss.” While there’s no cash tied to the prize, Brouwer believes winning the esteemed Arthur Ellis Award raises his profile in Canadian literature. Dead Man’s Switch already has a sequel, Nowhere To Hide, about teenage cyber bounty hunters who get drawn into another conspiracy. The Central Alberta author is also in the running for another award. His book Thief of Glory is a finalist in the Alberta Readers’ Choice Awards, which comes with a purse of $10,000. It will be announced on Sept. 18. Brouwer has written across many genres, from children’s picture books to scientific thrillers. He is published by mainstream and evangelical publishers. The author, who has visited thousands of students at schools across North America to promote literacy, is married to a Christian singer Cindy Morgan and has two daughters. He divides his time between Nashville and Central Alberta. lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

MLAs sworn in at ceremony EDMONTON — Most of them are raw rookies, but they are now officially members of the legislature after winning their seats in last month’s Alberta election. Premier Rachel Notley and 51 members of her NDP caucus were sworn in Monday and, with that, have been granted the privilege to sit and conduct business in the house. “It was kind of that reality moment,” said rookie MLA Graham Sucha of Calgary Shaw. “I realized the magnitude of what was going to happen, the privilege we have to represent the people in our riding.” In all, 85 of 87 MLAs were sworn in. Sixteen have sat in the house before. Four New Democrats have experience in the legislature: Notley, Brian Mason, David Eggen and Deron Bilous. The youngest New Democrats are in their 20s; the oldest in their 60s. The youngest, Thomas Dang, 20, agreed it all began to sink in while he was sitting in the chamber.

Fun night turns to frantic rescue in Calgary after raft flips on Bow River CALGARY — What was supposed to be a pleasant raft ride down the Bow River in Calgary turned into a nightmare when the craft capsized, tossing its six occupants into the fast-flowing water. Emergency officials say all six had life-jackets on when the raft flipped after striking a bridge abutment early Sunday evening. Five made it to shore but the sixth passenger — a woman in her 20s — clung to the craft after it became pinned against the bridge. She was calling for help when firefighters lowered a rope to prevent her from slipping away before an aquatic rescue team rappelled down to hold her until a boat arrived. The woman was conscious and alert when she was brought to shore and taken to hospital. Prior to the rescue, authorities had to call off would-be civilian rescuers for fear they might fall into the river.

STORY FROM PAGE A2

EDUCATION: On the edge Where schools used to have a full-time custodian, they are no longer able to do that, and where they had three or four plumbers, they now have two, in the large rural district, Sacher said. “We believe we’re right on the line of whether we can make ends meet with that low of a staff level on the maintenance side.” As far as reserves go, there are emergent things that happen so the district needs to have reserves. “It might only happen once in 10 years but you need to be ready for it.” Chinook’s Edge accumulated operating surplus at the end of last August was only half of the provincial average, and headed lower, Sacher said. “If government doesn’t step up like they have now, we could actually run into cash flow issues where you have to borrow money to pay the bills as you wait for funding to come in, and there’s additional interest costs for a school division that gets too low on reserves. “You do want to have some level of reserve in your budget and for this board ... three to five per cent has always been their goal.” barr@reddeeradvocate. com

“We were saying, ’This is real. We’re MLAs and we’re going to be able to make this change and bring this positive energy to Alberta,”’ said Dang. Some MLAs have already been hard at work. Notley announced her 12-member cabinet more than a week ago and many of the ministers are handling multiple portfolios. Environment Minister Shannon Phillips said the workload is intense. “I went for a run the other day and I was feeling a little stressed with the briefing binders and all of that and then I was like, ’Hey, wait a second. The good guys won, Phillips. Calm down,” she said. The NDP toppled 44 years of successive Progressive Conservative governments in the May 5 election by winning a 54-seat majority. The caucus number has already changed and could change again. Deborah Drever, 26, won the Calgary Bow seat for the NDP, but was later suspended from caucus following controversial photos and Internet comments. She will sit as an Independent. Another New Democrat, Anam Kazim, was not sworn in. She defeated PC incumbent Linda Johnson by a razor-thin vote in Calgary Glenmore, but the

seat is under a judicial recount. Also sworn in on Monday were the 21 members of the Opposition Wildrose party, nine members of the Progressive Conservatives, Liberal Leader David Swann, Alberta Party Leader Greg Clark and Drever. Wildrose Leader Brian Jean is a rookie, but has 10 years of experience as a Conservative MP. Of Jean’s caucus members, Rick Strankman, Drew Barnes and Pat Stier have sat in the house before. The Wildrose won 17 seats in the 2012 election, but had only three incumbents last month after most of the caucus crossed the floor to the Tories in December. Calgary Foothills is vacant. It was won by former premier Jim Prentice, but he quit on election night. A byelection is one of many items on Notley’s agenda. A new Speaker is to be chosen June 11, followed by a short legislature session, mainly to pass an interim budget to allow the government to operate until there’s a full budget in the fall. The Speaker is a free vote of all members of the legislature, but NDP member Bob Wanner of Medicine Hat has already said he has the support of his caucus.

McIver to investigate after PC executive mocks weight of health minister BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — Alberta Progressive Conservative Leader Ric McIver says he will investigate disparaging comments made by a party executive member about Health Minister Sarah Hoffman’s weight. McIver said Monday he first wants to discuss the issue with Jordan Lien, but says political debate always needs to remain respectful. “Comments on policy are always acceptable. Negative personal comments I’m not in favour of,” said McIver, minutes after he and his eight-member caucus were sworn in at the legislature. “I will have a discussion with the author of the comments. “This has got to be a respectful place. All Albertans are equal. All Albertans must be respected. All Albertans must be treated with dignity. “If a member of our party has fallen short, we will be having a discussion about correcting that in the future.” Lien is a vice-president in charge of southern Alberta for the PC party. On the weekend, Lien criticized Hoffman’s decision to extend a ban on flavoured tobacco to menthol products. In a Facebook posting he parenthetically referred to Hoffman as “morbidly obese.” Lien could not be reached for comment Monday. But as outrage over his remarks flourished on social media, he posted an apology on his Twitter account. “I recognize I made a dumb comment. I apologize to Sarah Hoffman and all who read it for my insensitive remark. Once again, I’m sorry,” read the Tweet. A spokesman for Hoffman declined to comment. This is the second time that social media postings have incited concern and criticism since Premier Rachel Notley and the NDP won the May 5 election. Last month, NDP member Deborah Drever was

Harper adrift in Maritimes PETER MACKAY WAS A CRITICAL PART OF ANY BID FOR A STRONG MANDATE ON THE EAST COAST If it were not for Peter MacKay, Stephen Harper would never have become prime minister and it is an open question whether he can secure another majority mandate or, for that matter, another election victory, without him. What is certain is that, in the absence at his side of the man who led the Progressive Conservatives to his tent a bit more than decade ago, Harper’s task CHANTAL of leading his HÉBERT party to a fourth mandate this fall has become more daunting ... and a bit more lonely. If you believe, as I do, that the moderate conservative voters who gave Harper a majority in 2011 stand to decide the outcome of the upcoming campaign, then the loss of MacKay as a candidate is a grievous one. Preventing red Tory voters from turning into blue Liberals (or taking on a shade of NDP orange) will be harder in his absence. The first immediate consequence of the minister of justice’s departure is to make the Conservatives more vulnerable in Atlantic Canada, a region where they were already facing a steep uphill battle to hang on to the 13 seats they currently hold. Justin Trudeau’s Liberals hold a commanding lead across the four provinces. MacKay, whose political base is Nova Scotia, has always stood taller than his boss in a region where the word progressive is still deemed to have a place on the conservative label. There is not, on Harper’s cabinet or backbench, another Atlantic Canada figure of comparable stature. MacKay was elected to the House of Commons under Jean Charest in 1997. He served under Joe Clark. His father, Elmer, was a fixture in Brian Mulroney’s governments. As Tory leader, the justice minister was the co-builder of the bridge between the Progressive Conservatives and the Reform/Alliance branch of the Canadian right. But that 2003 bridge has seen more Progressive Conservative traffic head-

ed out of the government’s command centre than going in the opposite direction over the past few years. Senate speaker Pierre-Claude Nolin passed away earlier this year. Ontario senator Hugh Segal has moved on to academia. They were among the last leading red Tory establishment members on Parliament Hill. Over the Harper decade, the influence of the Tory side of the Conservative family has steadily declined. The regiment of Progressive Conservatives that the justice minister was purported to lead from his senior post in Harper’s government is by now mostly outside the power loop looking in. It remains to be seen whether they will be as motivated to mobilize behind Harper’s re-election bid this fall as they could be in assisting MacKay in a future leadership bid. MacKay’s upcoming retirement may

not change the immediate directions of the government but it could alter the political dynamics surrounding the looming legislative debate over end-oflife care. After the Supreme Court struck down the prohibition on medically assisted suicide earlier this year, it was MacKay as justice minister who vowed that the government would not use the notwithstanding clause of the Constitution to circumvent the ruling. Harper is under pressure from the religious right to do just that. With MacKay out of the picture, it is unclear whether the ruling Conservatives — if they are re-elected to government next fall — will feel bound by the assurances that he gave. His imminent departure from politics tilts the balance of influence a bit more toward the social conservative wing of Harper’s caucus. Their cabinet champion, Defence Minister Jason

Kenney, is fast outliving his competition for insider influence. With the exception of Industry Minister James Moore, none of the other major architects of Harper’s three election victories will be around next fall to fight alongside Harper in what is lining up to be his most challenging campaign battle since 2004. Jim Flaherty is no more. John Baird is off to a lucrative private sector career. After his defeat in Alberta, Jim Prentice is a spent quantity. None of their cabinet successors has emerged as a force to be reckoned with on par with those former ministers. On the eve of his fifth election campaign as leader, Harper more than ever stands head and shoulders over his cabinet team but that is more by default than anything else. Chantal Hébert is a syndicated Toronto Star national affairs writer.

The traditions of the sea and the EU Late last year, the governments of the European Union, having refused to share the cost of a very successful operation called Mare Nostrum, in which the Italian Navy rescued tens of thousands of refugees from sinking boats in the Mediterranean, replaced it with a much smaller operation called Operation Triton. Its purpose (though they didn’t put it exactly that way) was not to rescue the refugees, because then they ended up in the European Union. Triton was a “coastguard” operation, with a third of the budget of Mare Nostrum and orders only to patrol Italian and Maltese coastal waters. They could save any boatloads of refugees that made it that far, but they were not to do “search and rescue” opGWYNNE erations off the Libyan coast, DYER which is where most of the overloaded boats actually founder. Inevitably, the death toll from drownings in the first five months of this year was thirty times higher than in the same period last year: at least 1,750 human beings. The losses were so shocking that an emergency EU meeting in late April boosted Triton’s budget back up to the level of Mare Nostrum — but they didn’t change its mission. It was still only supposed to operate in EU coastal waters. But then something odd happened. Last weekend, ships from the Italian, British, German and Irish navies rescued more than 4,000 people in two days — the vast majority of them just off the Libyan

coast. The EU has not condemned the operation, but it wasn’t really the EU’s plan. What drove it was the sheer reluctance of the navies to stand by and let people drown. The European politicians face a huge demand from their electorates to stop the seemingly endless flow of “migrants” (the preferred term for refugees, since it elicits less sympathy) across the Mediterranean. 170,000 people made it across last year, and it could be double that number this year unless lots and lots of them drown. But the voters (or most of them) don’t want to hear about that, and most of the politicians are not very brave. So the politicians did what the voters wanted. At some level they must have understood the consequences of stopping the search-and-rescue operation, but they found ways of lying to themselves. First of all they said that all these life-saving operations were just encouraging more people to risk the crossing. Stop saving them, and they won’t come. Ridiculous: these are desperate people who have already faced many big risks to get as far as Libya. They kept coming, and the horrendous death-toll this spring got the media so excited that the politicians had to do something — but not, of course, anything that would actually result in more people arriving in Europe. So they gave more money to Operation Triton, but they still didn’t give it a life-saving role. Instead, they came up with some nonsense about saving the refugees from drowning by destroying the people-smugglers’ boats on the shores of Libya before they went to sea. It’s the “new slave trade,” and we’re just saving the refugees from themselves. Of course, the EU hasn’t actually destroyed any boats (which would be an act of war against Libya). What they didn’t reckon with was their own na-

vies, who come at this from a very different angle. The sailors don’t have to worry about the voters, and on the whole they are not terribly fond of the politicians, but they certainly do know about the sea. And one of the oldest traditions of the sea is that you do not leave people to drown. Everybody who has spent much time at sea knows that it is an intrinsically hostile environment. Alone and unsupported by technology (including flotation gear), you will survive in the water for a matter of minutes, or at most, if you are very fit and lucky, for an hour or two. So when you see somebody in the water, you do everything you can to save them – because another time, it could be you. When I was in the navy we were once first on the scene of a collision in which a tanker had exploded in flames. There was little chance of survivors, as oil had spilled and the sea was on fire around the stricken ship, but we searched all night and into the next day anyway. Nobody questioned why we were doing it, nobody even discussed it. There is no higher priority in a peacetime navy. I was not on the warships attached to Operation Triton to overhear the conversations of the people on the bridge, but I am sure that they were outraged by their orders. So they gradually pushed out beyond the appointed bounds of Operation Triton to the places where the people were actually dying, and none of the politicians dared to expose themselves as heartless bastards by telling them to come back. Eventually it has become the new de facto policy of the European Union — just like the old Mare Nostrum policy, before the European governments got at it.

An ugly truth CANADIANS MUST CONFRONT LEGACY OF RESIDENTIAL SCHOOLS: SINCLAIR OTTAWA — The time for frank apologies for Canada’s treatment of its first peoples is over and must make way for a change in behaviour, the chairman of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission said on the eve of his long-awaited report’s release. “Truth and apologies are achieved through words, important words, yes,� Justice Murray Sinclair said Monday. “But the next step, reconciliation, is achieved only by acting differently.� Five years and $60 million have gone into the six-volume study of Canada’s residential schools, which were established in the 1840s to “take the Indian out of the child� and lasted until the 1990s. Prime Minister Stephen Harper kicked off the long reconciliation process with a moving apology from the government of Canada in the House of Commons in June 2008, with the commission getting off to a wobbly start the following year.

The original cast of three commissioners all resigned before the project hit its stride, eventually visiting hundreds of communities and hearing testimony from 7,000 survivors. “Many survivors’ stories remain difficult to hear, or even to comprehend,� Sinclair said of the litany of physical, sexual and mental abuse that too often

Duffy trial poised to stretch into August JUST AS ELECTION CAMPAIGN LIKELY TO BEGIN BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Could the prime minister’s former chief staff and several senior Tory senators wind up testifying at Sen. Mike Duffy’s trial just as the federal election campaign gets underway? This scenario is becoming increasingly likely, as the pieces move into place for extra trial dates to be set aside in August to hear Duffy’s case. Whether or not the election writ is officially issued, the parties will be in full campaign mode by that point — the Conservatives have already agreed to a leaders’ debate in August. Last week, a lawyer for former senator Mac Harb agreed to postpone his trial scheduled to begin on Aug. 10, as Duffy’s trial requires more time. “Also we have some interest in some of the issues in the Duffy trial, so we’ll see how some of those issues unfold,� said Harb defence lawyer Sean May. That means the Harb fraud and breach of trust trial will likely unfold in the spring of 2016, with more key witnesses appearing at Duffy’s trial in the last three weeks of August. Both Harb and Duffy have been charged with filing improper living expenses connected with their designation of an Ottawa-area home as a secondary residence. Duffy has pleaded not guilty to 31 charges in total, including others that relate to his travel and Senate office expense claims. After a three-week hiatus, the trial resumed Monday with a minor victory for the Duffy team. Justice Charles Vaillancourt ruled that a Senate committee report could be entered into evidence. The 2010 report of the internal economy committee was based largely on three audits of the Senate’s adminis-

their families and forced to attend residential schools, with some 80,000 still alive today. The report by Justice Sinclair and fellow commissioners Marie Wilson and Wilton Littlechild chronicles their stories and will provide a lengthy list of recommendations. Education — sharing the story of the

trative practices, undertaken by the firm Ernst and Young. It found that there was a lack of clear guidelines and criteria establishing what constitutes official business, as well as what is considered partisan activity, when senators file expenses. Those conclusions are important for Duffy’s defence, which is largely focused on the argument that he was operating within the Senate’s confusing and lax rules. “Oversight is relevant in this trial and counsel for the applicant advances the proposition that the lack of appropriate oversight is a key component to the defence of many of the charges before the court,� Vaillancourt wrote. “I recognize this as a valid position.� The Crown argued that the report should be considered hearsay, since it was based on the work of an audit firm and not the committee. But Vaillancourt agreed with the defence that the audits were absorbed into the committee’s own work. This ruling could have implications later on in the trial. The auditor general is set to submit to the Senate a report on the spending of all senators some time this week. From that point, the report, its release to the public and the official response all moves out of the auditor’s hands. Bayne can be expected to argue that it, too, is a Senate document and should be entered into evidence at Duffy’s trial. Vaillancourt is also hearing a separate evidence issue that involves another internal Senate audit. The upper chamber is trying to keep it from being released to the defence, arguing parliamentary privilege or immunity. That matter will be considered next week.

BRIEF Veterans, government to put benefits lawsuit on hold VANCOUVER — A long-running lawsuit launched by disabled Afghanistan war veterans against the federal government is off the docket until after the federal election, if not forever. The two sides met in a Vancouver court Monday and agreed to put proceedings on hold until May 2016 to gauge the impact of government reforms to benefits for veterans in recent months. If the changes satisfy the veterans who launched the suit in 2012, the case will be over, said their lawyer Don Sorochan. He wants to see what the political parties offer veterans during this fall’s election campaign.

residential schools survivors. The territorial government has already developed and implemented the first comprehensive curriculum covering the history of residential schools and their legacy and it is in talks with other provincial education ministries about sharing the program nationally. “We’re willing to offer training in school settings for teachers that are going through the trauma when they’re teaching, because it is very emotional and a very sensitive topic to talk about,� Lafferty said. As he spoke, a woman nearby broke down, keening loudly that she had lost her son and no longer knows whether he’s alive or dead. It was a pointed reminder of the raw emotions that lie just beneath the rather celebratory atmosphere of four days of events surrounding Tuesday’s report release. Imparting that message to the wider Canadian public is the next challenge for the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. for a class-action proceeding involving the RCMP says the force is toxic to women and has been for a number of years. David Klein says hundreds of women who allege they were discriminated against and harassed while working for the RCMP must have their cases heard together to reveal the full picture of the problem. Klein made the arguments as part of a hearing to determine whether the complaints of 362 female Mounties from across the country can move forward collectively.

Judge nearly declared mistrial in terror case VANCOUVER — The trial of a husband and wife accused of plotting to blow up the B.C. legislature came close to being declared a mistrial over the Crown’s closing address, which the judge said was so inflammatory and inappropriate it took her breath away. With the jury out of earshot and before members began deliberating on the fate of John Nuttall and Amanda Korody on terror charges, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Catherine Bruce said she would have called a mistrial had the proceedings not been so protracted and difficult. The information can be released now that the judge has lifted a publication ban and the jury is sequestered.

The new man in the middle PIERRE LAVERTU LOOKS TO PROVE HE CAN BE A SOLID REPLACEMENT AT CENTRE FOR THE CALGARY STAMPEDERS BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — Pierre Lavertu has big shoes to fill on the Calgary Stampeders’ offensive line. The 25-year-old from Quebec City takes over at centre for Brett Jones, who was the CFL’s offensive lineman of the year in 2014 and the league’s rookie of the year in 2013. The Stampeders gave up the fewest sacks (26) and led the league in average rushing yards per game (143.9) last season. Jones, from Weyburn, Sask., signed with the NFL’s New York Giants in the off-season. Lavertu intends to prove he can be the man in the middle for the Stampeders. “I’m working hard to fill that spot the right way,” Lavertu said Tuesday on the second day of main camp. “I’m trying to not compare myself to Jones. I just want to reach that level of player. That’s what coaches are expecting.” Stampeder head coach and general manager John Hufnagel swung a draftday deal with the Ottawa Redblacks to get the first overall pick in the 2014 Canadian college draft. Hufnagel used it to draft Lavertu, a three-time CIS all-Canadian and winner of three Vanier Cups with Laval University. Lavertu played centre for the Rouge et Or, but saw few game reps as Jones’s backup last season. Lavertu got on the field playing other positions on the line, including a pair of starts at right guard. He was on the roster for Calgary’s wins in the West Division final and the Grey Cup. “As a sixth lineman, you don’t get a

Calgary Stampeders’ offensive lineman Pierre Lavertu tapes his hands prior to the 102nd Grey Cup against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in Vancouver, B.C. Sunday. Lavertu has big shoes to fill on the Calgary Stampeders. The 25-year-old from Quebec City takes over at starting centre for Brett Jones, who won the CFL’s offensive lineman award last year and left to join the NFL’s New York Giants in the off-season. lot of reps, but when I had to go in on the line because of an injury, that was good playing time,” he said. “Last year prepared me well. I played at guard and that was out of my comfort zone. I’m back at centre position. It’s easier for me.” Centre has been called the choreographer of the offensive line because responsibilities include calling out blocking assignments and communicating pre-snap adjustments amid the noise and movement along the line of scrimmage. He’s got to outmuscle and outmanoeuvre the centre on the other side of the ball, lest he get mashed into his quarterback. “(Pierre) has picked up where he’s left off as far as knowledge and that’s

half the battle with the centre position, in getting all his teammates on the same page,” Hufnagel said. Offensive line coach Pat DelMonaco believes Lavertu has the mental makeup and physical attributes to be a starting centre in the CFL. “Pierre shows good anchorability,” the coach said. “We were pleased with his progression at the end of last season. We feel like he’ll continue to progress the right way this year. “Any time you have anybody at Brett’s level to learn from, I think you’re going to benefit. I think Pierre is going to carve his own path.” Lavertu went home in the off-season to train at Laval alongside former Rouge et Or linemen Karl Lavoie and

Danny Groulx. Lavoie was drafted by the Stampeders this year and has joined Lavertu at camp, while Groulx is property of the Edmonton Eskimos. Lavertu gained big-game experience at Laval, including the 2012 Vanier Cup played in front of 37,000 people at Rogers Centre in Toronto. Laval downed McMaster 37-14 for the title. From his contributions to a championship in his rookie year to just knowing where the meeting and lunch rooms are now, Lavertu arrived at his second Stampeder training camp a more confident and comfortable player than he was at his first a year ago. “I love being a professional football player. I’m in love with the sport,” Lavertu said.

2015 STANLEY CUP FINAL

Lightning’s road to final Blackhawks’ Keith cruising has them ready for Chicago toward minutes milestone BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TAMPA, Fla. — This post-season has been a constant reminder of what the Tampa Bay Lightning hadn’t done. This version of the Lightning hadn’t won a playoff game, let alone a series, knew nothing about Game 7 pressure and ventured into uncharted territory in the conference final. Along the way, the young Lightning became the first team since 1998 to reach the Stanley Cup final after being swept the previous year and the first in NHL history to defeat three Original Six teams to get to this point. After already knocking off the Detroit Red Wings, Montreal Canadiens and New York Rangers, they can add another if they beat the Chicago Blackhawks and raise the Cup. More than history, though, the Lightning picked up valuable lessons over the first three rounds that make them more prepared to take on Chicago, which Steven Stamkos called “the ultimate beast.” “This is the biggest challenge yet,” Stamkos said Monday after practice. “You grow as a team throughout each round, you learn a lot about this group, the adversities we’ve had to overcome, the great players that we’ve played along the way and have overcome.” Tampa Bay eliminated Detroit’s Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg, Montreal’s Carey Price and P.K. Subban and New York’s Henrik Lundqvist and Rick Nash. Blackhawks stars Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane and Duncan Keith await. Stamkos and said Chicago’s skill level is “second to none,” but the mental hurdle of the Cup final for the Lightning is overcoming the experience gap. Having beaten three teams with more post-season experience helps. “I think it just gives us confidence and realize that we are a young team, but going against experienced teams

Lightning’s Johnson, Blackhawks’ Keith among Conn Smythe front-runners A year ago “Mr. Game 7” Justin Williams recorded two goals and five assists in the Stanley Cup final to earn the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP. A handful of players could emerge from the pack to do the same this year. Here is a look some of the candidates with odds from online betting site Bodog: TYLER JOHNSON With a playoff-best 12 goals and 21

that we have to give ourselves a chance,” winger Ryan Callahan said. “Our inexperience is OK sometimes. We’re learning as we go here.” Coach Jon Cooper said it has been “an unreal journey to watch 23 different souls come together as one” this season. Maybe it’s an even longer process, as defenceman Matt Carle wondered if this run would have even happened had the Lightning not been swept by the Canadiens last year. But the classroom on the ice for this group began against the Red Wings. After falling behind three times in the series, the Lightning fought through plenty of obstacles to move on. “There was absolutely no space, no speed,” centre Tyler Johnson said. “I think that kind of taught us how to play. Using that against Montreal, then New York and just kind of doing that moulded us into the team we are right now.” Plenty motivated against the Montreal team that swept them last year, the Lightning took a stranglehold on the second-round series before losing twice. Their Game 6 domination was evidence they could close out an opponent. Against the Rangers, the Lightning learned another lesson the hard way when they lost Game 1. Expect that to be a point of emphasis before Game 1 against Chicago on Wednesday. “You could tell that first game in New York we were kind of seeing what they were going to do,” goaltender Ben Bishop said. “I think we learned a lot that last series and not to do that. So hopefully we can learn from that and not have the same mistake twice.” assists, Johnson has been the Lightning’s best player. Centre of the productive “Triplets” line between Ondrej Palat and Nikita Kucherov, the 24-year-old has scored on a consistent basis and in big moments. Odds: 4-1 DUNCAN KEITH Averaging 31 minutes 35 seconds a game, the Blackhawks’ No. 1 defenceman has played almost 70 more minutes than the next highest player in the playoffs. He’s also far and away the top blue-line scorer with 18 points. Odds: 5-1 PATRICK KANE The 2013 Conn Smythe Trophy win-

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TAMPA, Fla. — Duncan Keith says he’s not tired. As much as he’s playing in the playoffs, it’s possible to get tired just watching him. The Chicago Blackhawks’ top defenceman has skated over an hour more than the next closest player for a total of 537 minutes through the first three rounds. If Keith keeps playing 31:36 a game, he’ll have the highest average ice time since the NHL and the Elias Sports Bureau began keeping track of in 1998. Keith is on pace to play more than 600 minutes this post-season, a feat that has only been accomplished 31 previous times since 1998 and twice already by him. A third would put him ahead of elite company that includes Chris Pronger and Scott Niedermayer. “He’s kind of a freak as far as his metabolism and conditioning level,” coach Joel Quenneville said. “Just certain guys genetically, aerobically, anaerobically, they can sustain it.” That’s a common theme for minute-munching defencemen who have taken on a heavy burden on the way to the Cup final. “I think that you get used to it,” said Derian Hatcher, who averaged almost 28 minutes a game for the Dallas Stars in 2000. “I think when you’re used to it and when you’re conditioned to it, it’s not a big deal at all. You kind of expect it.” Part of the expectation is on Keith, given the Blackhawks’ lack of reliable ner had seven points in Chicago’s Western Conference final against the Anaheim Ducks, including three assists in Game 7. With 111 points in 110 NHL post-season games, Kane is primed for more in the Cup final. Odds: 9-2 JONATHAN TOEWS Toews became the first player in Stanley Cup playoff history to have multiple goals in Games 5 and 7 on the road in the same series, and the 2010 Conn Smythe Trophy winner brings his best in big spots. Toews makes the Blackhawks go. Odds: 7-2 BEN BISHOP

depth on defence. Quenneville leans heavily on the 31-year-old Norris Trophy winner, Niklas Hjalmarsson (26:34 a game), Brent Seabrook (26:21) and Johnny Oduya (25:23). After beating the Anaheim Ducks in Game 7 of the West final, Keith said he didn’t think any player was tired this time of year. The excitement of facing the Tampa Bay Lightning in the Stanley Cup final is enough energy for the Blackhawks’ Energizer Bunny. If Keith continues playing over 31 minutes a game, he’ll approach or surpass Nicklas Lidstrom’s average ice time of 31:10 from the Detroit Red Wings’ 2002 Cup run. If the series goes seven games and he keeps this up, he’ll pass Los Angeles Kings defenceman Drew Doughty’s total ice time of 747:33 from last year. “Keith is a guy who knows how to manage his minutes well,” said Lightning defenceman Matt Carle, who averaged 25 minutes a night for the 2010 Philadelphia Flyers. “You watch him play, he skates pretty effortlessly. But I’ve got to think it’s been taking a toll on his body. He’s not the biggest guy in the world. It’s not like a Chris Pronger playing 30 minutes a night where he’s cruising around.” Pronger averaged 30:57 for the Edmonton Oilers in 2006, 29:03 as Carle’s partner in Philadelphia in 2010 and 30:11 during the Anaheim Ducks’ 2007 run. Keith is accustomed to this kind of workload, and Quenneville said the more he plays the more efficient he is. Hatcher, now co-owner of the Ontario Hockey League’s Sarnia Sting, thinks some of that is psychological. “What happens sometimes, too, is when you do get used to it, maybe other people are getting tired and you’re not,” Hatcher said in a phone interview last week. “Everyone thinks you’re getting worn down but you’re really not. ... “The players that usually get that ice, they handle it just fine.” Tampa Bay’s starting goaltender has a 2.15 goals-against average and .920 save percentage, but his two Game 7 shutouts stand out. If the final turns into a long series, Bishop will face his strongest test of the playoffs and have to pass it. Odds: 5-1 VICTOR HEDMAN Hedman’s numbers don’t pop off the page, but the big defenceman’s play has improved as the playoffs have evolved. The Lightning don’t need him to be a 30-minute man, but his 23 a game are some of the best in hockey right now. Odds: 35-1

Lots to learn in so little time A LOOK BACK AT CANADA’S WOMEN’S WORLD CUP DEBUT BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

Photo by THE CANADIAN PRESS

Canadian soccer coach Sylvie Beliveau is shown in an undated handout photo. Saturday’s opening of the Women’s World Cup will bring back memories for Beliveau.It marks 20 years to the day that Canada, coached by Beliveau, made its World Cup debut in a 3-2 loss to England.

TORONTO — Saturday’s opening of the Women’s World Cup will bring back memories for Sylvie Beliveau. It marks 20 years to the day that Canada, coached by Beliveau, made its World Cup debut in a 3-2 loss to England. Goals by Helen Stoumbos in the 87th minute and Geri Donnelly in the 91st made for a wild ending at the Olympia Stadium in Helsingborg, Sweden. Times have changed at the women’s showcase tournament. The World Cup is bigger, better and far more high-profile. The Canadian women are paid to play soccer. There are 24 teams instead of the 12 in 1995. This summer’s first-round schedule sees Canada plays games June 6, 11 and 15, far more forgiving than 20 years ago. Back in 1995, Canada’s tournament was over by June 11 and the whole competition lasted just 14 days. The Canadian women played three games in five days which including making a 725-kilometre train ride overnight from Helsingborg to Gavle. Beliveau, who today is the Canadian Soccer Association’s long-term player-development manager, still marvels at the schedule. “Those women never complained,” said Beliveau, who was 31 and the only female head coach at the ’95 tournament. “They lived it, because it was their top competition — a moment in life that you don’t want to miss.” Canada, giving up two second-half goals, tied Nigeria 3-3 before being thumped 7-0 by Even Pellerud’s Norway. Pellerud went on to coach Canada at two World Cups. Finishing third in its group, Canada failed to advance out of the first round at a tournament still in its infancy. FIFA listed the attendance for the Nigeria game at 250, with 655 on hand for the England contest and 2,715 for the Norway match. “We were walking down the streets and people would go ’Who are you? What’s happening in our country?’ People didn’t even know,” said Beliveau. Canada had failed to qualify for the inaugural 12-team World Cup in 1991, when CONCACAF sent just one team to the finals. Beliveau was an assistant to Neil Turnbull then. The Canadian women won their first four qualifying games in the region, outscoring the opposition 230 before falling 5-0 to the U.S. in the deciding match.

The Americans went on to win the ’91 World Cup, defeating Norway 2-1 in the final. After ’91, the Canadian women went two years without competition. The structure of Canadian women’s soccer was still largely under construction. There was little money to fund the program so Beliveau had to find ways to connect with players any way she could, be it using the World University Games or giving players training programs for home. With the U.S. the defending champion, CONCACAF got another berth for the 1995 World Cup which opened the way for Canada to join the Americans despite losing to them 6-0 in the final qualifying game. The Canadian roster included Isabelle Morneau, just 19 at the time, as well as Stoumbos, Donnelly, Charmaine Hooper, Andrea Neil, Michelle Ring, Janine Wood, Joan McEachern, Angela Kelly and Silvana Burtini. Today, Beliveau and those 10 players are in Canada’s Soccer Hall of Fame. “I’m so happy for them,” Beliveau said of those players. “Because they played the game at a moment where they were still establishing a status for the women’s game.” Beliveau has not forgotten the tournament. Two of England’s goals came via penalties. “It helped change the game,” she said diplomatically of a game in which the Canadian side deserved better. Canada led Nigeria 2-0 before settling for a tie against an African side whose lack of defensive discipline was offset by blazing speed and a bag full of offence. The final game against eventual champion Norway was “a hard lesson,” said Beliveau, whose tired team conceded four times after the 70th minute. Every World Cup brings something different, setting new standards. In ’95, it was Norway’s zone defence. “It was like trying to find solutions right on the spot,” Beliveau recalled of facing the Norwegians. Twenty years on, Beliveau wishes she had the experience she had now at the ’95 tournament. Ever the coach and evaluator, she believes some things could have been done differently. It’s a view honed by years in the sport. Beliveau became a FIFA coaching instructor in 1998, has been part of FIFA’s technical study group since 1999, attending every Women’s World Cup since as well as a string of age-group championships and two Olympics Games — and was appointed to its technical and development committee in January 2004.

Reigning champ Sharapova ousted from French Open BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PARIS — For the third match in a row at the French Open, Serena Williams was oddly out of sorts at the outset and dropped the opening set. And for the third match in a row, almost as though this was the plan all along, Williams righted herself to pull out a victory. In a riveting, two-hour showdown between the last two American women in the draw, the No. 1-ranked and No. 1-seeded Williams was a game away from defeat Monday, then came back to beat Sloane Stephens 1-6, 7-5, 6-3. Williams reached the quarterfinals and avoided joining defending champion Maria Sharapova on the way out of Roland Garros. “It’s not how you start, I guess. It’s how you finish,” Williams said. “That’s kind of how I’m looking at it.” Close as it was, thanks in large part to Williams’ 43 unforced errors, more than twice as many as Stephens’ 21, the eventual outcome seemed certain once Williams pulled even by taking the second set. That’s because she is 10-0 in three-setters this season. Williams is 29-1 overall in 2015 and owns an 18-match Grand Slam winning streak, including championships at the U.S. Open and Australian Open that gave her 19 major singles trophies. The 1999 U.S. Open, when she collected her first major title, is the only other time Williams came back to win three straight matches after losing the first set, according to the WTA. “There’s a reason,” said Stephens, defeated in the French Open’s fourth round for the fourth consecutive year, “why she’s the No. 1 player in the world.” Either Williams, in 2013, or Sharapova, in 2012 and 2014, has won the French Open the past three years. Only Williams has a chance to do it again on

Saturday because the second-seeded Sharapova was outplayed throughout a 7-6 (3), 6-4 loss to 13th-seeded Lucie Safarova. “My opponent had a different gear than I did,” Sharapova said after her earliest exit at Roland Garros since 2010. Sharapova did not use the cold she’s been dealing with as an excuse, saying: “I don’t like to talk about it, and I don’t think it really makes a difference.” In her first French Open quarterfinal, Safarova will face No. 21 Garbine Muguruza of Spain, who beat No. 28 Flavia Pennetta of Italy 6-3, 6-4. On a day full of tennis’ biggest names, the Big 4 of the men’s game — Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray — all won. The topseeded Djokovic and nine-time French Open champion Nadal will play in the quarterfinals Wednesday, a rematch of last year’s final. Nadal eliminated the last U.S. man, Jack Sock, 6-3, 6-1, 5-7, 6-2, while Djokovic had no trouble in a 6-1, 6-2, 6-3 win over Richard Gasquet. Federer needed about an hour to finish his 6-3, 4-6, 6-4, 6-1 victory over Gael Monfils in a match suspended because of darkness after the second set Sunday. Federer next faces Swiss Davis Cup teammate Stan Wawrinka, and Murray will play 2013 French Open runner-up David Ferrer. Williams’ quarterfinal opponent is 2012 runner-up Sara Errani, a 6-2, 6-2 winner over Julia Goerges. The winner of Williams-Errani will go up against someone making her Grand Slam semifinal debut, because it’ll either be 23rd-seeded Timea Bacsinszky of Switzerland — who surprised two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova 2-6, 6-0, 6-3 — or 100thranked Alison Van Uytvanck of Belgium. The 40th-ranked Stephens, who is 22, knew she could compete with the 33-year-old Williams, having defeated her in the 2013 Australian Open quarterfinals.

Maria Sharapova leaves the court after losing to Lucie Safarova during their fourth round match of the French Open at the Roland Garros stadium, Monday in Paris. Before taking the court Monday, Stephens shared a moment in the hallway with her coach, Nick Saviano. They bumped fists, and he patted her on the right shoulder. When play began, Stephens won the first two games without the benefit of a single winner. Williams kept right on missing, much as she did early against 105th-ranked Anna-Lena Friedsam in the second round and former No. 1 Victoria Azarenka in the third. “I feel like I’m living on the edge,” Williams said. “But, you know, I’ve got to get off the edge.” After one forehand landed in the net, she looked down at the ground and said, “Oh, no.” After another did the same, she let out an “Aaaaah!” of despair.

Rangers’ Zuccarello suffered brain contusion after taking shot to the head gian also said he lost some feeling in his arm after the injury. “... I lost everything,” he said. “It was scary but the doctors were really good and made sure I knew that I was going to be healthy. After a while I was just happy to recover quickly.” McDonagh said teammates did not know about the seriousness of Zuccarello’s injury on the night of the game.

GREENBURGH, N.Y. — New York Rangers forward Mats Zuccarello could not speak for four days after being hit in the head by a shot in the opening round of the playoffs and sustaining a small skull fracture and some bleeding. Three days after the Rangers lost Game 7 of the Eastern Conference final to the Tampa Bay Lightning, Zuccarello discussed his injury for the first time on Monday. “I was in the hospital for three days,” Zuccarello said after meeting with coach Alain Vigneault on the team’s breakup day at their Westchester training facility. “I couldn’t talk for a while, had a contusion, some blood in my brain. That affects a lot. Now I go to speech therapy. I’m getting much better. I couldn’t say a word for four days. I feel much better.” Zuccarello was hit on the side of the head by teammate Ryan McDonWHERE SERVICE IS A LONG TIME TRADITION agh’s shot in the seriesclinching Game 5 against the Pittsburgh Penguins on April 24.

Coach’s call prompted path change CFL BY THE CANADIAN PRESS KAMLOOPS, B.C. — Greg McGhee’s football path changed course after Jeff Tedford came calling. Following a four-year career at Howard University, the 22-year-old quarterback was training in hopes of getting a shot in the NFL. But when the head coach of the B.C. Lions paid McGhee a visit, he soon realized his immediate future lay north of the border. “(Tedford) came out to Virginia where I was working out,” said McGhee. “He basically told me that I bring something to the team that they don’t really have here and that I’d be a great asset.” After weighing his options, McGhee signed with the Lions in February, forgoing any chance to participate at the NFL combine, a move that showed he’s serious about the CFL and gave him the opportunity to take part in B.C.’s passing camp in April before his first professional training camp. “I think it just made sense to him,” Tedford said after a recent practice at Thompson Rivers University. “I laid out to him what his reality was in terms of his opportunity in the NFL or opportunity in the CFL.” A Pittsburgh native, McGhee is the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference’s alltime leader for total yards with 10,169, including 2,579 on the ground. Tedford coached a number of bigname quarterbacks during his time at the University of California, most notably former Super Bowl MVP Aaron Rodgers, and said McGhee has all the tools to be successful at this level. “He’s athletic, he’s smart, he’s got a strong arm,” said Tedford, in his first

Howard quarterback Greg Mcghee (7) runs for yardage as he breaks a tackle by Rutgers defensive lineman Darius Hamilton during the first half of an NCAA college football game in Piscataway, N.J. on Sept. 6, 2014. McGhee’s football path changed course after Jeff Tedford came calling. Following a four-year career at Howard University, the 22-year-old quarterback was training in hopes of getting a shot in the NFL. But when the head coach of the B.C. Lions paid McGhee a visit, he soon realized his immediate future lay north of the border. year with the Lions. “He can put the ball anywhere on the field. He’s got a lot of gifts.” Most players from the U.S. joining CFL teams don’t know much about the

league before arriving, but McGhee had a strong connection in former Montreal Alouettes quarterback Ted White, who is now Howard’s offensive co-ordinator.

“He’s one of the greatest quarterback coaches I’ve ever been with,” said McGhee. “A lot of the stuff we do here (with the Lions) is actually similar to what we ran in college. There are a lot of concepts and things like that I understand because of (White).” The six-foot-three 208-pound McGhee is one of four quarterbacks currently on the Lions’ roster behind veteran pivot Travis Lulay. The other rookie under centre for B.C. is Jonathan Jennings, a Saginaw Valley State product who has worked out for a couple of NFL teams over the past year. Like McGhee, the chance to play for Tedford was part of why he signed with the Lions. “His knowledge of the game is extraordinary,” said the 22-year-old from Columbus, Ohio. “He understands quarterbacks, he understands how to coach them, and that’s exciting for me.” McGhee and Jennings each said switching to three-down football and a wider field with an extra player has been an adjustment, however both seem to be grasping things early in camp. “After the first day, it wasn’t that different,” said McGhee. “You’re still watching the safety and reading the same keys on offence that you do in American football. You’ve just got to win on first down.” And while McGhee hasn’t given up on the dream of returning to play south of the border one day, he’s putting all his energy into a big first step with the Lions that came about only after he and Tedford crossed paths. “(The NFL) is definitely the plan for a lot of guys,” he said. “But right now I’m focusing on making the team and crawling up the ladder.”

Warriors quietly FIFA facing more criticism as executive trying to complete committee member threatens to quit one of the best seasons in history NBA FINALS BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS OAKLAND, Calif. — Steve Kerr remembers coming into training camp with the Chicago Bulls before the 1995-96 season and sensing something different about the team. After getting upset by Orlando in the Eastern Conference semifinals a few months earlier, Michael Jordan was motivated to redeem himself in his second year back in basketball and the Bulls were built for a championship run. Kerr, a reserve guard, noticed after just a few practices that season would be unlike any other. “You could feel it right away. That was a special team,” Kerr said. The Bulls won an NBA-record 72 games in the regular season and lost only three times in the playoffs on the way to a title. They’re considered one of the greatest teams ever and glorified in highlights each June. While it’s not nearly as noticeable now, Kerr’s current club is quietly reaching a level only the Jordanled Bulls have ever touched. The Golden State Warriors — with a fictitious name on the map, a rookie coach in Kerr and a roster that lacks NBA Finals experience — have a chance to finish with the third-most wins in league history if they can get past LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers in the finals starting Thursday night. “It’s been a dream season. Things have fallen into place over and over again,” Kerr said. The Warriors rolled to a franchise-record 67 victories during the regular season. They have marched through the first three rounds of the playoffs with relative ease and stretched their win total to 79 in all. Four more wins and the Warriors would trail only the 1995-96 Bulls (87) and the 1996-97 Bulls (84) for the most ever. They’re already the 14th team to win at least 65 regular-season games and reach the NBA Finals. The other 13 all won the title. Kerr, who played on both of those Chicago clubs, is not ready to acknowledge what could be but admits there are correlations between the Warriors and the all-time great teams — most notably a smothering defence and timely shooting. Others with rings see similarities, too. Robert Horry, who won seven titles with the Houston Rockets, Los Angeles Lakers and San Antonio Spurs during his career, said the best teams he played on had five common strengths — health, defence, unselfishness, shooting and a little luck. “When I look at Golden State, they have all that,” Horry said. “With all those shooters, you’d think there’d be some hate. But they know how to share. Everybody understands the pecking order.” Horry is starring in the upcoming documentary “Clutch City,” which chronicles the Rockets teams that won back-to-back titles in 1994 and 1995, premiering June 8 on NBA TV. He said those Houston teams, led by centre Hakeem Olajuwon, compare well with the Warriors in that both defend, play fast and spread the floor with shooters. Current Rockets coach Kevin McHale, part of a Boston Celtics dynasty that won three titles in the 1980s, has been impressed by Golden State all season. Never more so than after the Warriors sent Houston home in five games last week to reach the NBA Finals for the first time since Rick Barry led Golden State to the title in 1975. The common bond between those Celtics and these Warriors, McHale said, is home dominance. The Warriors went 39-2 during the regular season at rowdy Oracle Arena and are 7-1 at home in the playoffs. Only the 1985-86 Celtics, who went 40-1 in the regular season and won all 10 games at the Boston Garden in the playoffs, had a better home record. Of course, all that is history now. “Players don’t think about that,” McHale said. “Those guys don’t have any idea. Honestly, I think that these guys don’t know Rick Barry. They don’t know that great Golden State team.” Unlike a Cleveland team that became an instant contender when James returned last summer, the Warriors are a mix of young talent and veteran savvy that took time to simmer.

LONDON — In the House of Commons, they’re calling for Sepp Blatter’s head. And even inside the FIFA president’s own executive committee, there is the threat of resignation. A new week has brought new turmoil for soccer’s embattled 79-year-old president and his scandaltainted governing body, which is in the midst of the worst corruption case in its 111-year history. “For the good of the game, it is time for Sepp Blatter to go,” British sports and culture secretary John Whittingdale told the House of Commons on Monday. While the newly re-elected Blatter seems to be going nowhere despite the arrests and indictments of several soccer officials last week in Zurich, others are calling it quits or threatening to do so. FIFA medical chief Michel D’Hooghe, the longestserving member on the executive committee, said he would leave unless there were rapid reforms. “I cannot reconcile myself with an institution where I work, where I have carried the medical responsibility for 27 years and about which I now learn that there is a lot of corruption,” D’Hooghe told the VRT television network in Belgium. “My conclusion is very clear: I will no longer continue to participate (in FIFA) under such conditions. So, it is high time for change to come and we will

see over the coming days what may happen. Let’s be clear, if this atmosphere prevails at FIFA, I have no place there.” D’Hooghe has served on FIFA’s ruling body since 1988, a decade before Blatter’s move up from secretary general to president. “If you are faced with an abscess, simple medication does not suffice,” D’Hooghe said. “You have to cut it open.” Heather Rabbatts went a step further and resigned from her post on the FIFA anti-discrimination task force. That body, until last week, was chaired by Jeffrey Webb, who was suspended as a FIFA vice-president and remains in custody in Switzerland along with six others after being arrested as part of the U.S. corruption investigation. Rabbatts is also a director at the English Football Association, a long-standing critic of Blatter. “Like many in the game I find it unacceptable that so little has been done to reform FIFA,” she wrote in a letter to FIFA. “And it is clear from the re-election of President Blatter that the challenges facing FIFA and the ongoing damage to the reputation of football’s world governing body are bound to continue to overshadow and undermine the credibility of any work in the anti-discrimination arena and beyond.”

Crude production slow in May: report CANADA PRODUCTION ESTIMATED AT LOWEST IN ALMOST TWO YEARS BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — A report by Barclays says Canada’s crude oil production last month is estimated to be the lowest it has been in almost two years. While companies have yet to release production numbers, the British bank says wildfires and upgrader maintenance in Alberta are expected to have cut average national production to 3.98 million barrels of oil a day in May after peaking at an average of 4.59 million barrels a day in January. “We expect Canadian crude production in May to be the lowest in nearly two years as a perfect storm of events curtails output,” wrote Barclays analyst

Michael Cohen. The report says Royal Dutch Shell, Canadian Oil Sands and Suncor Energy are thought to be conducting or have already completed multi-week turnarounds at upgraders, removing some production. On May 23, a wildfire near Cold Lake in Alberta forced the shut down of an estimated 233,000 barrels a day of production from Cenovus Energy’s Foster Creek project and Canadian Natural Resources’ Primrose and Kirby South operations. As of Monday that production was still offline, with the fire spanning 31,000 hectares and still classified as out of control. Canadian Natural Resources, however, reported late Monday that officials had deemed the area safe

Judge awards $15B to Quebec smokers

enough for a team from the company to reach its operations and begin to assess the damage. The risk of new fires starting in the area has also been downgraded from extreme to moderate. Looking at more long-term production, Barclays estimates that since oil prices dropped, producers have delayed a million barrels a day worth of projects that were expected online by 2030. Roughly 300,000 barrels a day of that production was expected to be online by 2020, but the bank now thinks that only 200,000 barrels a day of new production will be ready. The bank expects Canada’s production to be back above 4.5 million barrels a day by the end of the year as new projects come online.

GASOLINE ALLEY CONSTRUCTION

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS In a ruling described as “historic” by one lawyer, a Quebec judge has ordered three major cigarette companies to pay $15 billion to smokers in what is believed to be the biggest class-action lawsuit ever seen in Canada. “These three companies lied to their customers for 50 years and hurt their right to life,” Andre Lesperance, one of the lawyers involved in the case, said Monday. “It’s a great victory for victims as well as for society in general.” For Lise Blais, the judgment was bittersweet. One of the two lawsuits that eventually merged into one was filed by her husband, Jean-Yves Blais, shortly before he died of lung cancer in September 2012 at the age of 68. The widow attended a news conference in Montreal after the ruling was handed down and she urged people to quit smoking. “Your health is completely lost,” she said as she clutched photos of her late husband. “I waited every year (for a judgment) — for 17 years,” she said. “But I had the opinion we were going to win and we did.” In an interview in March 2012, Blais said he had tried to quit “five or six times in the last 14 years,” although some of the remedies triggered depression. “I smoke a little more than one package a day — maybe 30 cigarettes a day,” he said. Quebec Superior Court Justice Brian Riordan’s long-awaited 276-page decision was made public following years of testimony and another six months of deliberations. “By choosing not to inform either the public health authorities or the public directly of what they knew, the companies chose profits over the health of their customers,” Riordan wrote. “Whatever else can be said about that choice, it is clear that it represent a fault of the most egregious nature and one that must be considered in the context of punitive damages.” The three firms will split the $15.6 billion according to responsiblity set out by the court — 67 per cent will fall to Imperial Tobacco ($10.5 billion), 20 per cent to Rothmans, Benson & Hedges ($3.1 billion) and 13 per cent to JTI-Macdonald ($2 billion). The judgment calls on the three companies to issue initial compensation of a total of more than $1 billion in the next 60 days, regardless of an appeal. The judge will decide at a later date how to distribute those funds. Bruce Johnston, a lawyer with one of the firms that took on the tobacco companies, called the ruling “historic — not just for the compensation for victims but also for public health and accountability.” Riordan squarely denounced the firms’ actions. “The companies earned billions of dollars at the expense of the lungs, the throats and the general well-being of their customers,” he wrote. “If the companies are allowed to walk away unscathed now, what would be the message to other industries that today or tomorrow find themselves in a similar moral conflict?” All three Big Tobacco firms reacted immediately to Riordan’s ruling and said they’ll appeal the decision. The Quebec case marked the first time tobacco companies had gone to trial in a civil suit in this country and involved two separate groups of plaintiffs: some who became seriously ill from smoking and others who said they couldn’t quit. More than one million Quebecers were represented and argued the companies were liable because they knew they were putting out a harmful product and hid the health effects of tobacco. Initially the lawsuit was valued at $27 billion and included 1.8 million Quebecers, but a 2013 ruling changed the definition of who could qualify and lowered the amount to $17.8 billion. It was considered the biggest class-action ever seen in Canada. “Today marks an important day for the victims of tobacco who have waited almost 17 years for this moment,” said Mario Bujold, executive director of the Quebec Council on Tobacco and Health. The industry argued people knew about the risks of smoking and that the products were sold legally and with federal government approval and strict regulation. “These cases are far from over,” RBH spokeswoman Anne Edwards said in a statement. “We will vigorously appeal this lower court’s judgment, and believe that we have very strong legal grounds to overturn the judgment in its entirety.” JTI-Macdonald said Canadians have been well aware of the health risks since the 1950s and health warnings have been on packages for more than 40 years. “JTI-Macdonald Corp. fundamentally disagrees with today’s judgment and intends to file an appeal,” it said in a statement. “The company strongly believes that the evidence presented at trial does not justify the Court’s conclusions.”

Missing job skills harming productivity BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

WESTERN CANADA

CALGARY — A new report says missing job skills in industries from retail to engineering are hurting Western Canada’s productivity. The study by the Canada West Foundation says 40 per cent of employees could perform better if they improved on basic skills like math, reading and writing. “We are probably missing out on some major productivity gains that could be realized if people didn’t have to take so much time to work out things, if people didn’t have to do things over,” said Janet Lane, co-author of the report. Lane says it’s difficult to put a number on how much the skills shortage is costing the economy, but it could be in the hundreds of millions. The report says roughly half of people who didn’t finish high school are missing such essential skills, while 30 per cent of university graduates are also lacking skills needed for their jobs. It also says immigrants have skills shortages of

between 10 to 16 per cent higher than the non-immigrant population. Using 2011 data from Statistics Canada and the OECD, the study compared what jobs skills are needed with what skills Canadians actually have. The Canada West Foundation says employers should invest in training to increase productivity, efficiency and safety in an increasingly competitive global economy. “Our competitor countries are raising skills faster than we are, and so a lot of jobs have already been lost overseas,” said Lane. “A lot of jobs will continue to leave the country if we do not adequately improve the value-add of jobs we have in the country.” It also recommends that the education system put more emphasis on essential skills training in public and post-secondary school. “It’s a problem, but it’s also an opportunity for us to upgrade the skills of our workforce,” said Lane.

support an NDP motion to abolish banking fees charged to people who receive paper bills. Finance Minister Joe Oliver says the government is backing the motion to get rid of so-called pay-topay fees because people feel they are being nickeled and dimed by the big banks. Oliver dismisses the suggestion that the Conservatives are following the NDP’s lead on the issue, saying the government has already taken steps to lower banking fees. The government’s decision comes after a separate NDP motion to exempt feminine hygiene products from the GST won unanimous approval last week in the House of Commons. The government subsequently introduced legislation to kill the tax. Last year, the federal government blocked telecommunication and cable companies from charging fees for paper bills, but banks were excluded from the legislation. “Yes, we will support the motion because we understand that Canadians do not want to pay additional fees to the banks,” Oliver said Monday after question period. “This is something that is actually consistent with what we have, in fact, been doing. We’re not following (the NDP), they’re following us.” Andrew Cash, the NDP consumer protection critic, told reporters he hopes the government passes legislation before the Commons rises for the summer. Asked about that deadline, Oliver said this kind of thing takes time. Cash, who tabled the motion, said the banks collect about $180 million a year from people who receive their bank statements in the mail. The fees, he added, target vulnerable communities, including seniors and those who don’t have Internet access. “We think this is unfair,” Cash said. “You shouldn’t have to pay a fee to pay your bill.”

BRIEF Judge tosses band’s bid to block sale of B.C. rail corridor to local governments KELOWNA, B.C. — A B.C. Supreme Court judge has dismissed a bid by the Okanagan Indian Band to block the sale of a rail corridor. The Vernon-area band asked the court to stop railway firm CN (TSX:CNR) from selling the former rail line between Coldstream and Kelowna to local governments that want to turn it into a public trail. The band says 22 kilometres of the corridor run through their Commonage reserve, and Chief Byron Louis has maintained that once the track was no longer being used for rail service, it’s control should have reverted to the band. But the city says in a news release the judge rejected the request because it didn’t meet the threepart test required for an injunction to be issued. It says the judge ruled there would be “no irreparable harm” if the injunction were not granted and the “balance of convenience” does not weigh in favour of an injunction. City of Kelowna spokesman Doug Gilchrist says officials planned to complete the transaction on Monday, although Louis says the band is reviewing its options and “nothing’s over.”

The S&P/TSX composite index gained 60.04 points to 15,074.13 while the loonie lost 0.63 of a U.S. cent to 79.78 cents US. The Dow Jones industrial average was up 29.69 points at 18,040.37, the Nasdaq index rose 12.90 points to 5,082.93, and the S&P 500 advanced 4.34 points to 2,111.73. Ian Nakamoto, director of research at MacDougall MacDougall & MacTier Inc., says North American markets have been trading within a fairly narrow range as investors await news regarding Greece’s debt woes and ponder when the U.S. Federal Reserve will raise interest rates. “I think there are a few things weighing on investors’ minds that causes them to sit on the sidelines,” said Nakamoto. “People are looking to see what will happen to Greece. Some are positive that there’s going to be a last-minute deal. Others are more skeptical there’s going to be a deal. When you have the tug and pull you get a market that sort of trades within certain ranges.” In U.S. economic news, weaker than anticipated consumer spending data in the offset positive manufacturing data for the month of April. Nakamoto said it’s looking increasingly unlikely that the Fed will hike rates in June. The earliest he expects rates to start climbing is September, though he thinks the Fed could delay until next year. “So far, I haven’t seen any data that makes me lean towards an interest rate increase,” he said.

The gains in the health care sector follow news that Valeant Pharmaceuticals International Inc.

Nakamoto said investors are split on whether Valeant’s recent stock price gains are an ominous sign foretelling of an impending crash or the first of many more upward moves. “When something rises so quickly, like Research in Motion or Nortel ... oftentimes it can be a flash in the pan,” Nakamoto said. “I know cynics out there will say that.” The company has been growing rapidly through a serious of acquisitions. “They buy various companies that are accretive to earnings, and the market seems to like it,” Nakamoto said. Meanwhile, on the commodity markets, the July crude contract was down 10 cents at US$60.20 a barrel and the August gold contract slipped $1.10 to US$1,188.70 an ounce.

Saputo to refuse to buy milk from farmers that don’t treat animals humanely BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — Canada’s largest diary processor, Montreal-based Saputo, is hoping to spur the adoption of global animal welfare standards by refusing to buy milk from farmers that don’t treat their animals humanely. The change is part of a new animal welfare policy the company released Monday, nearly a year after it became entangled in a controversy when an undercover video was made public showing cows being punched, kicked and beaten with pipes at one of its suppliers. “It raised a lot of comments and questions and concerns especially here at Saputo about what our policy is and if it is robust enough,” CEO Lino Saputo Jr. said in an interview. Chilliwack Cattle fired eight employees after animal rights group Mercy for Animals released a video that showed young men beating the cows. Saputo (TSX:SAP), one of the world’s largest dairy processors, says it wants all farmers and employees to sign yearly codes of conduct and thirdparty auditors to review the practices of farmers. The company said it is also working with universities to improve education on animal welfare. Although federal law only allows processors to refuse to accept milk over “quality issues” including health concerns, Saputo said it will not accept milk from sites where animals have been mistreated, as it did for two days last summer when a video surfaced depicting animal abuse at an operation in Chilliwack, B.C. “If we have any evidence of animal cruelty, whether it’s mistreatment or

Food watchdog detains corn livestock feed from India over health concerns EDMONTON — The Canadian Food Inspection Agency says it is detaining corn shipments from India used for livestock feed to protect animal and human health. The agency says these imports must be tested after samples of organic feed corn were found to have up to 20 times the permitted levels of aflatoxins. “This is to prevent contamination of livestock feed in order to protect Canadian livestock and public health,” the

neglect that’s causing pain or injury or suffering to any of the cattle on the farms, we will stop taking milk from that farm,” Saputo Jr. said. Delivery of milk could be permanently ended if farmers refuse to improve animal practices as verified by third-party inspectors, he added. Mercy for Animals praised Saputo for its new policy, which also commits to eliminating the practice of cutting or docking the cow’s tail, administering pain control when dehorning cattle and reducing stress on cows through low-energy animal handling methods. “Given that Saputo is the largest dairy processor in this country, I think it sends an incredibly strong message to all dairy farmers that any form of cruelty will not be tolerated,” executive director Krista Osborne said from Vancouver. She said she expects other large Canadian dairy producers to follow suit and join three of the world’s largest dairy companies — Nestle, Leprino Foods and Great Lakes Cheese — which have recently announced similar animal welfare requirements. But Osborne said there are some remaining questions, such as when the new policy will be implemented, whether the auditors will be independent, and whether the inspections will be random. “This is an excellent step forward. We are heartened by it but it by no means is complete at this point.” Saputo Jr. also said he’d like to see stiffer penalties against people who commit cruelty to farm animals. “We’d like the standards and the practices to have some bite to it and some consequences for those that are going to contravene those practices.” CFIA said in a release. Aflatoxins are produced by a fungus and can cause serious health problems in animals such as cancer and birth defects. The CFIA says aflatoxins can be transferred to milk and other animal products and could pose a threat to food safety. Since May of last year, Canada has imported 34,735 metric tonnes of corn from India for use as livestock feed. The CFIA says importers must sample the corn when it arrives in Canada and provide lab test results. It says shipments of corn livestock feed from India will only be released when the test results show they are safe. A group that represents the livestock and poultry feed industry said its members are aware of the CFIA notice. Graham Cooper, executive director of the Animal Nutrition Association of Canada, said corn is blended in as an ingredient in livestock feed mainly for cattle, hogs and poultry.

Uber in court with City of Toronto RIDE HAILING APP BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

Then she disputed Uber’s claim that restricting its business is a violation of the company’s charter rights — the freedom of expression. “The city submits that the right to have an unlicensed taxi company doesn’t go to any of the core elements of freedom of expression,” she said. “These are economic interests.” Late in the day, lawyer Julie Rosenthal began presenting Uber’s case. “None of (the respondents) is accepting requests or calls, they are simply putting passengers in touch with drivers — they do not trigger the municipal licensing code’s scheme and are not subject to them.” Rosenthal said the issue should be decided by politicians. “It is not for the court to amend the municipal code. “That is fundamentally a job for the legislators.”

Walking With Our Sisters

Photo by JEFF STOKOE/Advocate staff

Rosena Winnie of Red Deer makes her way through the gallery at the Red Deer Museum and Art Gallery Monday during the opening of the Walking With Our Sisters exhibit. The memorial to honour missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls from across Canada will be on display until June 21st, National Aboriginal Day.

BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF It’s not just art. The moccasin vamps represent the unfinished lives of grandmothers, mothers, daughters, sisters, and aunts. The lives of these missing and murdered women in Canada are memorialized in Walking With Our Sisters, a commemorative art installation. It opened to the public at the Red Deer Museum and Art Gallery on Monday. The installation features 1,808 pairs of individually designed, beaded moccasin vamps (or moccasin tops), which embody the women. Of those, some 117 vamps represent the children’s lives lost through the residential school system. Corky Larsen-Jonasson, a First Nations lead elder, said she hopes the families or women who are directly affected find healing as they walk along the rows of vamps. But the installation is for everyone to gain awareness of a serious social issue and understand that the vamps represent real people. More than 1,200 indigenous women and girls have been reported missing or murdered in Canada in the last 20 years. Rhonda Runningbird, 25, vanished without a trace on a hunting trip near Swan Lake recreational area west of Red Deer in March 1995. She is still considered missing and police have no leads. In 2012, Talia Meguinis’s body was dumped and the 27-year-old was left for dead in a recycling bin in Red Deer. Nathan Michael Desharnais, 24, will face charges of second-degree murder and interfering with human remains in September. “It is happening too much,” said Larsen-Jonasson. “It’s not random. It seems to be a population that is targeted. The government, as Prime Minister Stephen Harper said, has not put it on the radar. Hopefully as (Walking With Our Sisters) moves through

each community, it brings better awareness, more knowledge and more action.” The opening of the exhibit was as solemn as months of emotional and mental preparation came to a close. And the days ahead will prove to be even more powerful as visitors walk alongside the vamps created by friends or relatives of the missing or murdered women. “It just hits you,” said Sheila Bannerman, a museum volunteer. “That this pair of vamps represent someone who is not here.” In the eight months leading up to the exhibit, the museum hosted eight community conversations to prepare the for the powerful and emotional memorial. Counsellors will be on hand to help visitors cope with their feelings. Bannerman said while hope is the key message, there are huge respect issues in the community that need to be resolved. “These women are significant individuals,” said Bannerman. “Their lives deserve to be honoured and recognized and they are missed. Perhaps as communities we can come together to create situations where women are not disrespected.” The exhibit is steeped in ceremony. Visitors will be asked to remove their shoes to walk along the rows of vamps assembled on a pathway representing a path or journey that ended prematurely. Women can choose to wear a ceremonial skirt made for the occasion. The memorial will travel to various communities in Canada until 2019. It was in Edmonton earlier this year. Lisa Periard helped install the exhibit in Ontario, Alberta, Northwest Territories, Whitehorse, Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Periard said the response has been overwhelming on so many levels. “There’s so much healing that comes from this,” she said. “You never know what direction it can come from. It could be as simple as somebody having

personal healing from this to people who have never worked together before in communities working together.” Periard said she hopes people will step into the installation with an open mind and an open heart and walk away with either understanding or a form of healing. “Some people do not know what the issues are,” she said. “If they come through with some understanding and take it back to their own family and community in some way so this issue one day stops for our future generations.” The memorial wraps up in Red Deer on June 21.

Bower Ponds concert lineup set ROCK THE CHANGE SUICIDE PREVENTION EVENT BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF Music acts from across Alberta and as far as Detroit will entertain on Sunday at the Rock the Change suicide prevention concert at Bower Ponds. Last year, all the entertainers at the 3 to 6 p.m. free outdoor concert were from the area. This year, many out-of-town musicians “reached out to us,” and asked to be part of the event, said Stacie Moore, elementary educator and fundraiser from the local suicide prevention centre. “We thought, why not?” The following applicants were chosen from their demos recordings: ● Detroit singer/songwriter Jetty Rae, who performs with her acoustic guitar. ● Medicine Hat rock band Aim for Theo. ● Grande Prairie country singer Brad Simms. ● And Jamie Woodfin, a country singer from Red Deer. Moore knows that many people who express an interest in suicide prevention have been personally touched by it through the loss of friends or loved ones. She believes performers from outside the area heard about the concert through friends and social media.

She helped start Rock the Change in 2013 to raise awareness about suicide and the need for prevention. Moore was disturbed that six high-school males had killed themselves in Red Deer over a fall-winter period. Having just lost another friend to suicide six months ago, she feels the need for awareness remains constant. There will be no speakers between music acts at the concert because “we want to keep it a light event. We want people to feel they have come to a safe place where they are not alone for a little while,” added Moore. However, a suicide prevention information booth will on site. There will also be a free photo booth, kids corner and a Chedda Heads food truck, raffle and door prizes and merchandise for sale. All proceeds will go towards programs at the Suicide Information and Education Services in Red Deer. The non-profit organization offers counselling and referral services, as well as information and education.

CENTREFEST

Crowd-funding effort launched If Central Albertans want to be entertained by a colourful assortment of street performers in downtown Red Deer this summer, they have to raise $15,000. “Centrefest is in danger. Without community support, this festival can no longer continue,” said its director Janice Shimek. She started a GoFundMe crowd-funding campaign, in hope individuals, businesses and organizations will help the free festival continue to bring “a little adventure to the city.” “Whether it’s $1 or $1,000, every bit helps,” said Shimek. Centrefest’s international acrobats and comedians have annually drawn 30,000 people to Red Deer’s downtown. What’s a city without a robust arts and culture scene, questioned Shimek, who hopes the community is supportive.

BRIEFS Environmental efforts win awards from PAMZ Lacombe County, Town of Sylvan Lake and Sheraton Hotel in Red Deer have each earned awards for environment friendly efforts. Parkland Airshed Management Zone has presented the awards for 2015. Lacombe County and Town of Sylvan Lake got awards for pilot projects to reduce vehicle idling and its associated health and environmental effects. Sheraton Hotel received an award for reducing its environmental footprint. Harmattan Gas Plant, AltaGas Ltd., near Sundre got an award for installing three cogeneration units to improve energy efficiency and greenhouse gas emissions. Reg Watson, former board chair and a founding member of Parkland Airshed Management Zone, earned a posthumous award for his lifelong record of environmental stewardship. Watson died last year. The awards are presented annually to recognize business, municipalities, non-governmental organizations or individuals who have made exemplary efforts to improve air quality.

Boil-water advisory ends, West Park residents told It’s safe to drink the water in West Park. The city lifted the boil-water advisory for 33 homes in West Park on Saturday. Water samples taken from the affected area indicate that it is no longer necessary for residents to boil water prior to consumption. On May 26, a leak was caused following a water main break. The boil-water advisory was issued as a precaution after the potable water supply mixed with surrounding soil before the leak was contained.

Swim meet on weekend closes outdoor pool to public Hundreds of swimmers will hit the

water as part of Catalina Swim Club’s annual Freeze or Fry swim meet at the Recreation Centre outdoor pool this weekend. Starting at 5:30 a.m. on Friday, areas of the centre will be closed to the public. Registered fitness classes will run as scheduled. Public washrooms will remain open for public use. There will be no public swimming during the meet. The pool will open to the public on Monday at 5:30 a.m. For more information and swim schedules, visit www.reddeer.ca or pick up a schedule at the Recreation Centre, G.H. Dawe Centre, Michener Aquatic Centre or Collicutt Centre.

Red Deer commercial fire causes $5,000 in damage An early-morning fire Monday caused about $5,000 damage to a commercial building in Red Deer. City fire crews were dispatched to the fire at 4040 70th St. at 2 a.m. The fire was contained to a small storage room where it originated. No injuries were reported. The cause of the ignition is under investigation.

Red Deer RCMP have released surveillance video of a man who used stolen identification to obtain $10,000 worth of furniture in February. A wallet was stolen from a vehicle in Inglewood on Feb. 5. A man used the stolen identification to open an account at the Brick furniture store on Feb. 17. The man then picked up the Surveillance photo items at a Calgary distribution of suspect. centre the next day. He loaded the items in a U-Haul and drove away. The victim learned about the fraud when he received an invoice from the Brick. RCMP urge anyone with information that will help them identify the suspect to contact Red Deer RCMP at 403-343-5575. To report anything anonymously, call Crime Stoppers at 1-880-8477 or report online at www.tipsubmit.com.

resents more than 400 peace officers across Alberta. “We see students think they get a free pass on graduation day, and that’s just not so,” says Norton, citing some of the common traffic enforcement issues such as sticking one’s head out the window or sunroof or packing more bodies than are safe into vehicles. These traffic enforcement infringements may seem minor, says Norton, but each can have deadly consequences when combined with distracted driving, speeding or driving while intoxicated. These are also areas where peace officers see a rise in incidents during graduation time. Instead of participating in risky or dangerous behaviours during this celebratory time, Norton suggests mining information from local community peace officers for smart and safe ways to celebrate. One of the most popular programs that provides alternatives is the PARTY Program (www.partyprogram.com). The international program provides information for youth on how to make informed decisions, as well as the consequences of making poor decisions. “Sadly, no one is immune to injuries or fatalities during graduation time,” says Norton. “So stay safe out there.” The association of peace officers works collaboratively with police and other law enforcement agencies.

Drug trafficking suspect faces trial in fall of 2016

Trial dates have been set for two men accused in a non-fatal shooting last summer in the Pine Lake area. Cory Lavallee, 29, of Pine Lake and Garner Roland Belcourt, 27, of Dawson Creek, B.C., are both charged with attempted murder and several firearm offences for the June 2, 2014, incident east of Innisfail. They appeared before Justice Sandra Hunt McDonald in Red Deer Court of Queen’s Bench on Monday. The two are being held in custody ahead of trial. A two-day preliminary inquiry held on May 11 and 12 led to the two being ordered to stand trial. Lavallee and Belcourt maintained their not guilty pleas. Local lawyer Dan Wilson acted as agent for George Lebessis of Edmonton, who represents Lavallee, and Rebecca Snukal of Calgary, who represents Belcourt. The two will stand trial before a Red Deer Court of Queen’s Bench judge and jury from Oct. 11 to 21, 2016. A three-day voir dire, hearing to determine the admissibility of evidence at trial, will be held on Sept. 19 to 21, 2016.

After abandoning a trial in March, a new trial has been set for September 2016 for a man accused in a massive drug bust in Red Deer. Ronald Allan Rue, 45, faces charges of trafficking and possession of the proceeds of crime. He appeared in Red Deer Court of Queen’s Bench on Monday before Justice Sandra Hunt McDonald. Rue was arrested on May 16, 2013. Investigators allege that they seized 6.3 kg of marijuana, 28 grams of cocaine, cash and drug trafficking paraphernalia. Rue has pleaded not guilty. Trial has now been set for Sept. 26 to 28, 2016, in Red Deer Court of Queen’s Bench before a judge alone.

Escort scam woman has sentencing delayed

Surveillance video shows suspect who stole ID

Grad safety stressed A mock accident in Lacombe recently was intended to drive home the dangers of impaired driving to graduating high school students. The joint effort that included police, fire, MADD, local schools and an auto wrecking company, created a mock collision with injuries at Lacombe Composite High School. The event was part of Operation Safe Grad which aims to show students — particularly the graduating class — the life-altering consequences of poor choices involving drinking and driving. Impaired driving collisions remain one of the highest causes of death among teens and young adults. Meanwhile, peace officers across Alberta are reminding people to behave safely during graduation celebrations this year. Communities across Alberta celebrate as Grade 12 graduates finish exams and cross the stage in cap and gown. Another time-honoured tradition of graduation is the inevitable parties. Peace officers remind students to steer clear of deadly behaviours, including drinking and driving, distracted driving, sticking heads out of vehicles, speeding and packing more people in a vehicle than is safe. William Norton is community peace officer for Morinville and information officer for the association that rep-

Sentencing for a woman found guilty of taking part in an escort scam to years ago has been put on hold once again so a pre-sentence report can be developed. Lindsay Rae Mazzei, 32, of Red Deer was convicted of a single count of robbery November 2014. She was the bait in an escort scam in June 2013 that lured men, through an online ad, to a Red Deer motel thinking they were meeting up with an escort. Instead, the victims were met with armed individuals who stole wallets, credit cards, money, cars and identification. A pre-sentence report was ordered in early 2015 with an expected sentencing date on March 6. However, Mazzei — who was out on bail at the time — did not attend her pre-sentence report meetings and missed a court date. A warrant was issued for her arrest on March 2 and she was arrested in April. She has been in custody since. A new pre-sentence report was ordered developed by Justice Sandra Hunt McDonald in Red Deer Court of Queen’s Bench on Monday. Her sentencing hearing was adjourned to Aug. 10 to set a new date. Florian Edward Poitra, 33, of Innisfail was sentencing to four years in custody after pleaded guilty to his role in the scam on Oct. 13, 2013. Mark William Bitterman, 32, of no fixed address, has a trial in Red Deer provincial court on June 15 for his role in the scam.

Drug trafficking trial ordered after Sylvan arrest A one-day trial next fall has been set for a Whitecourt woman who was arrested in Sylvan Lake, accused of trafficking drugs. Danielle Erin Morrell, 24, was arrested on Jan. 4 in a Sylvan Lake hotel as part of an RCMP drug raid. In Red Deer Court of Queen’s Bench on Monday, she maintained not guilty pleas to the nine charges against her, including trafficking cocaine, CHB and marijuana; possession of methamphetamine; three counts of failing to comply with a probation order; and two counts of failing to comply with release conditions. A trial date has been set for Oct. 14, 2016, in Red Deer Court of Queen’s Bench before a judge alone.

Woman committed to trial on charges related to theft A woman accused of shoplifting a cart full of groceries and using a syringe in an attempt to flee, all while barefoot, will stand trial early next summer. Karla Lynn Pittman, 30, of Red Deer was given a trial date of June 8 and 9, 2016, in Red Deer Court of Queen’s Bench before a judge alone. Represented by Kevin Schollie, she appeared in Red Deer Court of Queen’s Bench on Monday. She pleaded not guilty to stealing groceries while using violence against a store employee, possession of a syringe for a dangerous purpose and possession of a controlled substance. A woman was arrested at the Parkland Mall Safeway on March 9, 2014, after an incident in the store. Police allege a woman attempted to walk out of the store with a cart full of groceries and when she was confronted by a manager, a struggle ensued.

Ask The Dentist! by Dr. Michael Dolynchuk, DDS

Why Live and Work Anywhere Else? Dear Dr. D:

I just retired to this area from a much smaller community 'up north'. In that town we had a dentist fly in from Vancouver for a few days per month. For dental emergencies the best that we could hope for were painkillers at the health clinic until the dentist returned. I believe I am due for some serious dentistry if I am to keep my teeth now, and wonder if I wouldn't be better off just going to Calgary or Edmonton for it. I understand there are not a lot of specialists in central Alberta and this concerns me.

A:

Central Alberta sounds like a metropolis compared to your last home! In my professional and personal opinion, you live in the best place in the province. I presume you chose your last residence for either work or personal interests. If you moved here something must have attracted you. Great people and good facilities of all kinds for healthcare and true comprehensive dentistry rival what you can obtain elsewhere. It would be incorrect to believe any dental service is lacking simply because we don't have a larger population. A colleague has been serving on dental missions in the jungles of the third world for decades. He has a portable dental lab that literally fits in a hockey duffel bag. His assistant carries a folding dental chair that is about the size of the lounger on any porch or deck anywhere. Providing they can obtain clean water (which they can 'make' if they have to) he can perform most normal dental functions including root canals. Modern drugs speed recovery, and there is a lineup of people with a host of oral health problems wherever he goes. We don't have many specialists right here, but we're only a short drive to either Calgary or Edmonton. A general practice dentist today has today technology that didn't exist decades ago. We have CAD/CAM equipment for diagnostics. We can manufacture a tooth while you wait, if need be. For doctors in remote communities, this provides great options. You need not have a dental lab down the street to get someone a workable functioning crown. The training available doesn't discriminate between urban and rural doctors, and we all take annual upgrading to best care for our patients. You will find General Practice Dentists offer a broader scope of dentistry than a decade or two ago. Science hasn't just created greater fuel economy for your car – it extends to dental health too. We measure bone, we offer alternatives for pain management, and in rare cases when the services of a specialist are required we have a roster of capable professionals available – even if it requires a 75 minute drive. I chose to live here for a lifestyle choice, and wouldn't trade it for anywhere. As an aside – when you mentioned that fly-in Vancouver dentist it crossed my mind that someone having to pay $1.2 million for a standard 3 bedroom bungalow may not have the same budget for advanced dental technology as our local dentists. Give us a chance. We'll surprise you!

EXTREME ESTEEM

1525F2-26

I just finished making a batch of chai tea and am now eagerly awaiting my first sip. I sit down on my deck and look out at a modest piece of land I’ve worked hard at to call my own. I am in awe with appreciation for all of the small wonders in this life. However, a week ago I may not have been feeling quite so obliged. The kids, like most children during the months leading up to the end of school, were crazed. They had been running around the house screaming absurd rulings at one another, breaking my stuff and then cackling about it later on their unregretful escapades. They reminded me of a couple of tiny unstoppable demons that nearly tipped me right over the edge into some unspeakable hell. This went on for three consecutive days. Perhaps this description is a little harsh but I regret nothing. Jamie and I were already close to that edge as we had LINDSAY found ourselves at a crossBROWN roads when it came to career and financial planning, you ME PLUS THREE know, all that boring stuff. Grown-up decisions are tough, I can tell you that much. If you’ve ever toyed with the idea of making a change that could alter the course of you and your loved ones’ future, you surely know that that in itself fills up a plate pretty damn quick. But to top off our premature mid-life crisis, we were feeling the pressure of dissimilarity with some fellow human beings. To be truthful, it boiled down to full out repellence — admittedly on both of our parts — if you want to get technical. At almost 30-years-old, one would imagine that issues like bullying and rumours would be a thing of the past. Well, think again. If any thing, these issues are worse now because unlike in Grade 8, I have to keep myself somewhat composed. Ugh, supposedly I’m too old to confront my problems with demented screaming and garish body language. At least that’s what Jamie tells me.

“I don’t like conflict,” she admitted. “It terrifies me. I don’t want people upset with me.” “And what happens when you encounter conflict?” asked the workshop facilitator. “I shut down both physically and emotionally,” she replied. “I want to run away.” I was in a management seminar and the facilitator was talking about a concept she called “Moving Away From/Drawn Toward.” IniMURRAY tially, the conversation was FUHRER about goal-setting but had evolved to include coping mechanisms and negative, dysfunctional patterns of behaviour. I admired my colleague for her courageous confession. Like me, she was a sensitive soul. I had felt a painful twinge of familiarity in the words she spoke. We had each been asked to share our thoughts about conflict but, feeling self-conscious, I declined to com-

ment. The facilitator explained that some people are motivated by reward — they are the “Drawn Toward” group. These goal-focused individuals will set their sights on what they want — promotion, raise, or recognition — and relentlessly move toward the achievement of that goal. The “Moving Away From” group is focused on what they don’t want and, typically, that’s conflict or confrontation. The problem with a moving-away strategy is that it’s fear-based and always has you walking backwards, looking back. It’s easy to trip and fall into the same situations you’ve been trying to avoid. Life for such an individual is often filled with sad, recurring themes. The entire session made me feel uncomfortable, so on the ride home I had time to ponder my unease. I came to the sobering realization that my primary strategy for coping with work and life had been centred on moving away from. I had spent my entire adult life moving away from conflict and the people or situations that intimidated me.

STORIES FROM C3

BROWN: Husband keeps me grounded Instead, we gobbled up and swallowed some pretty awful things being said about us and moved forward (me, pretty begrudgingly while vision’s of throat punching these foes lingered in my head). In reality, it’s a good thing I have the hubs, he is pretty great at keeping me grounded in these days of adulthood. So, there we were at our crossroads while the kids ran up walls and right across the threshold of my ability to cope. With a plethora of unfortunate events coming at us from every which way, life was seemingly conjuring up a you-know-what storm, especially for us. And gardening season had somehow managed to sneak up on me to boot! I had to get out into the plot and plant. The kids were at school, Jamie at work and I figured it was as good of time as any so I grabbed my seeds and headed out barefoot. This is an odd (and rather unsanitary) ritual I’ve pandered to for as many years as I can remember. To me, gardening equates to bare feet and for some wonderful reason that makes me feel good. After five minutes of my toes indenting the earth, I began to feel the pinpricks of rejuvenation. After an hour of digging and planting, fingernails thick with dirt, I had retired my troubles. Replaced them with hope — hope for new growth and fresh beginnings. I realized whatever Jamie and I decided to do in this life, we will do it together. The kids will be OK because we will make sure of it. As my feet sank into the land, I

thought about how silly it is to worry about the opinions of others. We do not breathe to appease the judgment of those we call acquaintances. We breathe for our family. We work and play and speak our truths and live this life to enjoy it with the people we love. I realized as the earthen smell of peat moss tickled my nostrils that I was not the only person on this planet having a bad week. I thought about famine and disease as I planted the seeds that would grow into fresh, clean food for my family. I remembered that life is good despite the downfalls. Rather, life is quite astonishing and it was never designed to be easy. Life is singular. Now a week has past and brilliant green sprouts have begun to show themselves. This tells me that growth is here and life is at work all around us. The tea is perfect, the kids are fine and I am feeling fulfilled. It is a truly remarkable thing that happens when we can let go for a while and take some time to feed the soul. I highly recommend it when you happen to be having just one of those weeks. Lindsay Brown is a Sylvan Lake mother of two and freelance columnist.

FUHRER: Choose to maintain a positive attitude If that’s you as well, then you’ve probably spent a lot more time focusing on what you don’t want and have a pretty clear picture of it in your mind. Focusing on what you don’t want will simply bring more of it into your life. If you’re ever going to live a truly em-

NEW YORK — Nine days after her husband died unexpectedly, Sheryl Sandberg took to Facebook to describe her return to the sidelines for her daughter’s soccer game. There, a grandmother who had been widowed prematurely years earlier offered her a chair. It was a small but telling gesture that touched dozens of younger widows like Sandberg, who at 45 has two small children to raise in “this terrible, terrible club that no one wants to join,” as one of her sympathetic Facebook commenters put it. Grief need never be compared, but the “club” that is the Facebook exec’s new normal includes members who feel set apart from older counterparts navigating the deaths of spouses much later in life. Party invitations dwindle. Bereavement groups confuse and annoy both sides as older and younger grievers are thrown together. What about dating? What about sex? What about money and careers and managing the emotional toll on the kids? “Some of the older widows would say things like, ’Well, you have your whole life ahead of you. What do you have to worry about?’ We feel so out of sync. Suddenly we’re the ones thrown out in the cold and our lives have been turned upside down,” said Becky Aikman, who was 49 when her husband died of cancer. Aikman tried a traditional loss group for widows, finding herself set apart from the 70- and 80-year-old somethings. She was kicked out after challenging the facilitator’s approach and jokingly dubbed herself the “misfit widow,” eventually seeking out five other young widows like herself to share a year’s adventures for a book, “Saturday Night Widows.” At 60, Aikman said she and the ladies remain great friends. Linda Feinberg was a therapist years ago in Andover, Massachusetts, when she met a young widow at a pool. They both had 3-year-olds and her new friend described similar treatment when she sought support: “They said to her, ’You’re young and

beautiful. What are you doing here? You’re going to get married again and be happy,”’ recalled Feinberg, who went on to form a network of loss groups for young widows and write a book, “I’m Grieving as Fast as I Can: How Young Widows and Widowers Can Cope and Heal.” “There’s much more lack of acceptance of young widowed people than there is for middle age or older widowed people,” Feinberg said. “Society expects people to lose their spouses as they age. They don’t expect young widowed people and they find it very, very scary.” Wendy Clough in Seattle was widowed in 2006 at age 36. Her husband died suddenly of a seizure as he slept. He was only 37. They had two children and had been trying for a third. She found out she was pregnant a week or two after his funeral. “It’s been a sad, devastating, beautiful journey,” said Clough, who falls among just 1.1 per cent of women widowed between the ages of 35 to 39, according to 2009 U.S. Census data. About a month after his death, Clough tried a bereavement group at a church. “I walked in and I was the only one who didn’t have grey hair. They were totally just as sad as me, but it’s just so different. They lived with their spouses for years. For me, I felt very gypped. I didn’t get all that I was supposed to get. My kids were also just so gypped,” she said. Managing active careers, the need to earn money and the tender feelings of hurting children are key factors that send younger widows in search of others their age plunged into similar circumstances. “Your kids are so devastated and they need you so much, and you need time to not be needed for a while. It’s hard right away,” said Clough, now 44. Brenda Sieglitz in Pennsylvania’s Lancaster County was widowed nearly seven years ago, at 24. She had only been married a year and a half when her husband died of cancer. “I felt like no one could relate. The only people I knew that were widowed were a step-aunt and my grandmother,” she said.

powered life, you will need to embrace a new approach: you’re going to need to turn around. Now don’t get me wrong, there are times when avoidance is a good strategy. Avoiding might take the form of diplomatically skirting an issue until a better time or withdrawing from a threatening situation. But I was aware enough to realize my moving-awayfrom strategy was not serving my best interest. I vowed immediately to begin focusing on what I did want in my life. After years of running backwards, how could I possibly turn around, turn my back on what I didn’t want, and start moving in the direction of what I did want in my life? I started by listing all the things in my life that had me feeling frustrated and fearful — the things I didn’t want or was afraid to face. For you, these items could include a stressful job, your children’s behaviour, regret, guilt, financial concerns or conflict in your relationships. Next, I made a list of all the positives. For each situation on my list, I found everything I could think of that was positive in the situation. For example, a difficult job may also bring the bene-fits of a better income, creative challenge or personal growth. The job can certainly be a vehicle for expanding your level of patience and expertise. At the very least, it could bring you the valuable insight that what you’re doing isn’t what you want to be doing with your life. I chose to maintain a positive attitude. This didn’t mean I pasted a smile on my face. It did mean that I worked at feeling grateful for what I already had and for what I believed would come. With effort, I shifted my focus from feelings of lack to feelings of gratitude and abundance. I started to believe in myself, in the future, and the positive changes in my life. I began to visualize a better life. I made a detailed list of what I wanted in my life because, up to that point, I

didn’t really know what I wanted. Each day, I sat down and visualized what my new life would look like and how it would feel to have the changes take effect. I worked hard to ensure my thoughts, feelings, and behaviour were all in alignment with my goals and not my fears. Over time, I began to think, feel, and act differently. It didn’t happen overnight. In fact, many of the changes are still happening and will likely continue to require effort the rest of my life. It’s interesting to note that in the process of adjusting my thinking, I discovered I had a number of disempowering strategies. For example, when I felt I couldn’t run away, I would give in to everyone else’s wishes, seldom voicing my own opinions, or I would switch into my people-pleaser persona — trying to please everyone and make them like me. When that failed, I played the victim, trying to convince everyone to go easy on poor, pitiful me. In the end, I would always return to my movingaway-from strategy. I have learned that by trying to avoid difficult situations, I run the risk of growing bitter and depressed. I’ve discovered that I can’t just think about myself and my personal need to avoid conflict. Healthy relationships sometimes require us to broach difficult subjects. And I’ve realized that conflict can often be resolved in a kind and gracious manner as opposed to the frightful explosion I expected them to be. Facing conflict can lead to solutions you never imagined. Turn your back on what you don’t want — turn around and face what you do and find your-self drawn toward a new life of empowerment, gratitude, love and abundance.

Matt Dillon puts rare spotlight on Rohingya BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Summer TV schedule will strain DVR capacity BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — Network television, once wedded to a September-to-May schedule, saw the error of its ways as cable and online competitors demonstrated a brazen disregard for tradition. So summer has evolved from a rerun graveyard to the home of lively offerings, with enough choices to threaten your vacation plans — or at least DVR capacity. That includes returning shows AMC’s Halt and Catch Fire, already underway on Sundays, along with NBC’s Hannibal, coming June 4; Orange is the New Black, Netflix, June 12; TNT’s The Last Ship and HBO’s True Detective, both June 21; Under the Dome, CBS, June 25, and Masters of Sex and Ray Donovan, Showtime, both back on July 12. The newbies include a mix of scripted series, documentaries and a few reality-genre curveballs — like CBS’ The Briefcase, which tests families’ charitable instincts — just as in the old-fashioned TV season. One of the higher-profile dramas is Netflix’s June 5 release Sense8, the first series from sibling filmmakers Andy and Lana Wachowski of The Matrix fame. The story: Eight people realize they’re mysteriously connected and must engage in a life-or-death fight that plays out, travelogue-style, in sundry locations worldwide. The ensemble cast is equal parts international, includes Daryl Hannah and Naveen Andrews, who found the project, and the Wachowskis, and irresistible. “I have enormous respect and admiration for their insane, intense creative brains. Plus I like to work with great directors,” Hannah said. “They’re artists, and there are precious few of them,” Andrews said. Also upcoming are two transgender journey docuseries, one about a celebrity, Bruce Jenner (his asyet untitled show debuts Sunday, July 26, on E!), and another focusing on an average American family in ABC Family’s Becoming Us (Monday, June 8). More small-screen choices to consider: ● An armchair travel experience of a different kind than Sense8 is offered by Discovery’s Life Story, a six-part natural history series debuting on Saturday, June 6. Narrated by David Attenborough, Life Story tracks animals as they go about their daily, often perilous routines in locations scattered across 29 countries.

BRIEF Corea, Barron among jazz greats saluting Oscar Peterson on album TORONTO — A series of new compositions by famed Canadian jazz great Oscar Peterson will finally see release later this year. Oscar, With Love will feature a star-studded cast of jazz pianists interpreting songs mostly composed by Peterson, for Peterson or by his close friends, according to the Montreal legend’s widow Kelly Peterson, an executive producer on the project. Chick Corea, Oliver Jones, Monty Alexander, Kenny Barron, Benny Green and Makoto Ozone are among the players on the album, to be released on Kelly Peterson’s independent label Two Lions Records on Dec. 11. Corea, a 22-time Grammy winner, penned a new song for the project called One For Oscar. Although the final tracklist hasn’t been set, Kelly Peterson says 17 artists are recording two songs each for what will

● If you’d like to cast a chill over your summer, Investigation Discovery is obliging with Serial Thriller, its first scripted series and one it promises will “propel viewers” into a community “terrorized” by a serial murderer. The narrative approach is based on accounts from those involved and plays out on Sunday through Tuesday, June 7-9. Who is the killer? True-crime buffs may crack the case early on, the channel said, but others will have to stay tuned to figure it out. ● ABC’s answer to post-Mad Men 1960s withdrawal is The Astronaut Wives Club, debuting on Thursday, June 18. The glossy series is based on Lily Koppel’s nonfiction book about Annie Glenn, Rene Carpenter and other women whose close ties helped them cope with their spouses’ hero status and its fallout. There was glamour (tea with the first lady!) but hardship and sacrifice as well. The ensemble cast of “astrowives” includes JoAnna Garcia Swisher, Yvonne Strahovski, and Dominique McElligott. ● Oh, those annoying celebu-clans and the media attention that makes them possible. But what’s a family seeking fame and more fortune to do when it predates TV and blogs? That’s the plight of the Bellacourts of swanky Newport, Rhode Island, circa the early 1900s, in the Comedy Central satire Another Period. Created by and starring Natasha Leggero and Riki Lindhome as misbehaving sisters, the comedy beginning on Tuesday, June 23, also features Mad Men star Christina Hendricks, Lauren Ash, Michael Ian Black and Paget Brewster. ● Denis Leary, who played a deeply flawed firefighter in FX’s Rescue Me returns to the channel as a deeply flawed musician in Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll, which he created. Leary’s Johnny Rock was the frontman of a 1990s New York band, The Heathens, that broke up the same day its eagerly awaited debut album was released (Johnny’s sexual hijinks were to blame). The hard-luck rocker dreams of a comeback but, for now, is standing in the shadows as songwriter for young singer Gigi (Elizabeth Gillies). The series, starting on Thursday, July 16, features John Corbett as Flash, Johnny’s former bandmate and cuckold. ● HBO’s miniseries Show Me a Hero, from top-tier writer David Simon (Treme, The Wire) and director Paul Haggis (Crash), dramatizes Lisa Belkin’s nonfiction book of the same name. Set in Yonkers, New York, it examines how residents and the mayor (Oscar Isaac) react to a federal order to build low-income housing in white neighbourhoods. The impressive cast includes Catherine Keener, Alfred Molina, Winona Ryder and LaTanya Richardson-Jackson in a sharp-edged examination of race and community debuting on Sunday, Aug. 16. eventually be a three-CD or five-LP set. Among the recordings are at least a dozen previously unreleased Oscar Peterson compositions. Several of the artists featured on the record will perform at Toronto’s Koerner Hall on release day. Every song on the album was recorded at Peterson’s home studio on his personal Bosendorfer Imperial piano, which will be played publicly for the first time at the Koerner Hall concert. “Each person when they arrived talked about being very humbled and also feeling as though they were walking on hallowed ground,” Kelly Peterson said. “One of my goals with this was to ask each person to play Oscar’s music in their own voice. So really, it’s his music, but it’s their voice, which makes it particularly thrilling to hear all these different interpretations.”

One of the higher-profile dramas available this summer is Netflix’s ‘Sense8,’ the first series from sibling filmmakers Andy and Lana Wachowski of ‘The Matrix’ fame. The story: Eight people realize they’re mysteriously connected and must engage in a life-or-death fight that plays out, travelogue-style, in sundry locations worldwide.

SITTWE, Myanmar — American actor Matt Dillon put a rare star-powered spotlight on Myanmar’s longpersecuted Rohingya Muslims, visiting a hot, squalid camp for tens of thousands displaced by violence and a port that has been one of the main launching pads for their exodus by sea. It was “heartbreaking,” he said after meeting a young man with a raw, open leg wound from a road accident and no means to treat it. Mothers carrying babies with clear signs of malnutrition stood listlessly outside row after row of identical bamboo huts, toddlers playing nearby in the chalky white dust. “No one should have to live like this, people are really Matt Dillon suffering,” said Dillon, one of the first celebrities to get a look at what life is like for Rohingya in the western state of Rakhine. “They are being strangled slowly, they have no hope for the future and nowhere to go.” Though Rohingya have been victims of state-sponsored discrimination for decades, conditions started deteriorating three years ago after the predominantly Buddhist country of 50 million began its bumpy transition from a half-century of dictatorship to democracy. Taking advantage of newfound freedoms of expression, radical monks started fanning deep-seated societal hatred for the religious minority. Hundreds have been killed by machete-wielding mobs and a quarter million others now live under apartheid-like conditions in camps or have fled by boat — hundreds of dehydrated, hungry Rohingya washing onto Southeast Asian shores in recent weeks. Denied citizenship, they are effectively stateless with almost no basic rights. As they become increasingly marginalized, several groups are warning that the building blocks of genocide are in place. “I know that’s a very touchy word to use,” said Dillon. “But there’s a very ominous feeling here.” “I’ve been to some places where the threats of violence seemed more imminent,” said Dillon, who has also visited refugee camps in Sudan, the Congo and elsewhere. “Here it’s something else. It feels more like people are going to be left to wither away and die.” Dillon said he decided to come to Myanmar following a desperate, urgent appeal by Rohingya activist Thun Khin at a Refugees International fundraiser in Washington, just over a month ago. In Japan to promote his new television series, Wayward Pines, he decided it was a good time to make the trip. “There are people working here, people who know a hell of a lot more about it than I do,” Dillon said after hearing grumbling from some aid workers about what he hoped to achieve. “But listen, if I can use my voice to draw attention to something, where I see people suffering, I’ll do that any day of the week. I’m happy to do that.” He spoke to two teenage boys who tried to flee by boat, only to find themselves in the hands of human traffickers, and was chased away by armed security guards when trying to snap pictures of the last standing Rohingya neighbourhood in the state capital — a ghetto surrounded by tall walls topped by rolls of heavy barbed wire. But what really choked him up were the camps: “It affected me more than I thought it would.”

BUTCHER Michiel Kenneth Feb. 14, 1978 - May 27, 2015 With our hearts filled with sadness that we announce the passing of Michiel Kenneth Butcher. What are the qualities that make a good man; integrity, perseverance, thoughtfulness and devotion. These are qualities that Mike lived by and everyone knew him as such without question. Mike was a remarkable father, husband, brother, son and best friend that always put everyone else’s needs, especially his three beautiful kids in front of his own. Mike loved taking his friends and family on camping trips and had a passion for backpacking. Mike’s many gifts was helping others out when they were in need. In saying that Mike was a good man would be an understatement. Mike leaves behind: his loving wife Tanya (Scott), his three incredible daughters; Jenna Marie, Kaitlyn Rebecca and Alissa Jolie; his father Garth and mother Shannon (Beisal) Butcher; brother Murray and wife Janis(Stolte); brother Beau and wife Melissa (Larsen); father-inlaw Reginald and mother-inlaw Lana Scott; sister-in-law Paula and husband Jason Lenz; brother-in-law Cameron and wife Kristine Scott; sisterin-law Jennifer (Gladstone) and predeceased brother-inlaw Reginald Scott. Mike was a proud uncle to many nieces and nephews that will miss him deeply. Mike also was a lifelong friend to Robert and Brad. To everyone that was a friend of Michiel’s, please know that he enjoyed and cherished every minute spent with you and was proud to call you a friend. A Celebration of Michiel’s Life will be held from the Rimbey Church of the Nazarene at 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, June 3rd, 2015. A time of fellowship and refreshment will follow. If friends desire, memorial contributions in Michiel’s memory may be made to Rimbey Kid’s In Sports. Expressions of sympathy may be forwarded to the family by visiting www.wilsonsfuneralchapel.ca WILSON’S FUNERAL CHAPEL & CREMATORIUM serving Central Alberta with location in Rimbey and Lacombe in charge of the arrangements.

SCHROEDER Gunther Dec. 23, 1945 - May 30, 2015 It is with great sadness that the family of Gunther Kurt Schroeder announce that he was escorted by angels into the loving arms of his Heavenly Father on May 30, 2015. Gunther was born in Gehren, Germany on December 23, 1945 and as a young child he immigrated to Canada with his family. In 1968 he married Debbie, the love of his life. They and their two children lived in Calgary for 11 years before moving to Lacombe where they have resided for 35 years. Gunther is survived by his son Kurt (Lyn) Schroeder and his grandsons Evan and Noah. He was predeceased by his daughter Christy on June 2, 2014 and is survived by her children - Nick, Luke, Katarina, Angelica, and Alexa Andreeff. Gunther also leaves to mourn his passing his stepmother Erika Schroeder, his mother-in-law Helene Zeliznik; his sister Inge (Ken) Kluk; sisters-in-law Valerie (Barry) Garding and Robin (Glen) Bird. He will be missed by his many nieces, nephews, great nieces and great nephews and by the many good friends he made throughout his life. Gunther was also predeceased by his mother and father, Klara and Harry Schroeder, and his father-in-law Bill Zeliznik. As a retired steam fitter, he was a lifetime member of Local 488. Gunther loved to travel in his motorhome and all his grandchildren have memories of the trips they took with him. He was a rock hound and enjoyed spending time in the Arizona desert. He loved to work in his yard and enjoyed entertaining family and friends in his garden oasis. Although our hearts are broken today, we are comforted by the assurance and our unfailing hope that he is now in heaven with his Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, and that we, as believers, will be reunited with him for eternity. At Gunther’s request there will be no funeral service. A private internment ceremony for family members will take place on June 3, 2015. Friends are invited to gather for a time of fellowship with the family at the Schroeder residence, 5 - 43 Avenue Close, Lacombe, AB at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, June 3, 2015. Expressions of sympathy may be forwarded to the family by visiting www.wilsonsfuneralchapel.ca and donations can be made to the Canadian Red Cross in Gunther’s memory.

Harper to kick of Europe trip in Ukraine BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Prime Minister Stephen Harper will make his third visit to restive Ukraine later this week as part of a week-long trip to Europe that will also take him to the G7 leaders’ summit in Germany. Harper’s itinerary will also include Poland and Italy, where he will push for progress on Canada’s comprehensive free trade pact with the European Union — negotiated, but not yet ratified — and also meet with Pope Francis. As Harper’s last major international trip before the expected October federal election, it will be one of his last opportunities to project himself as an experienced, capable world statesman to voters back home. It was one year ago that Harper last travelled to Ukraine, where he affirmed Canada’s unwavering support for the country, meeting with Petro Poroshenko on the day he formally took the oath of office as president. Simmering unrest continues despite the September ceasefire between Ukraine forces and Russiabacked separatists in eastern Ukraine. At least two civilians and three Ukrainian troops were reportedly killed Monday in eastern Ukraine. “We’ve been working hand in glove on a number of initiatives to help protect Ukraine’s independence and its democracy and also working on its economy and improve the governance,” Harper said. Harper will meet with Poroshenko and Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk on Saturday before heading to the G7 in Germany. It will mark the second year in a row that Russia has been excluded from what used to be the G8.

Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper speaks as he meets with Marko Shevchenko, Counsellor & Charge d’Affaires of Ukraine to Canada, in Ottawa, Monday. Harper has repeatedly and stridently singled out Russian President Vladimir Putin for violating Ukraine’s territorial sovereignty, and has shown no interest in engaging with him directly, unlike some other G7 leaders. At the G7, Harper said he and his fellow leaders would discuss the two biggest threats currently facing the West: the fight against jihadism and the con-

tinuing unrest in eastern Ukraine, which he blamed on “the ongoing aggression of the Putin regime.” A new report released Monday by the United Nations says that 6,400 people have now been killed in more than a year of fighting in east Ukraine. Marko Shevchenko, the Ukraine charge d’affairs to Canada, was effusive in his praise for Canada’s support prior to a meeting with Harper at his Langevin Block office. That support includes 200 soldiers to western Ukraine to help improve the combat skills of the country’s troops, something Shevchenko said would increase his country’s capacity “to survive in the front line.” Shevchenko also affirmed the Canada-Ukraine bond, which will have federal electoral implications in October because there are 1.2 million Canadians of Ukrainian descent. “It’s needless to say that relations which Ukraine has with Canada are deeper and much more significant than with any other country in the world. Last year, Ukrainians have chosen democracy, prosperity and European future and my country feels permanent friendly support of (the) Canadian government on this long and very difficult way,” Shevchenko said. “Unfortunately, Ukraine at the same time is facing the biggest threat in its modern history —I mean Russian aggression, Russian annexation of Crimea.” Poland also views Canada as a top ally in the ongoing crisis with Russia, the biggest threat to Europe’s security since the end of the Cold War. Harper ends his trip in Italy, where in addition to the Pope he will also meet Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi.

Family looking for answers in Canadian’s death BY THE CANADIAN PRESS A Canadian family is demanding action from the federal government after a 28-year-old man died under mysterious circumstances at an airport in Laos. Nara Pech’s family was told that he committed suicide on Jan. 22 while being detained in Laos’ Wattay International Airport. But a number of voicemails he left in the hours before he died, combined with troubling autopsy results, are raising questions for Pech’s loved ones. His sister Sarena Armsworthy says Pech left three messages telling people that Laosian authorities were “trying to hurt him” and preventing him from leaving the country. She says officials in Laos reported her brother died of three stab wounds, but says autopsy results found many more than that on several parts of his body. A spokeswoman for the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs and Consular services said consular officials were helping the family and had asked authorities in Laos for a “timely and transparent investigation.” But Armsworthy says the Canadian government hasn’t done enough to find out what really happened in Laos and says the family needs their help to learn the truth.

Canada set to deport Pakistani man accused of ties to terrorist group BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — A Pakistani man who amassed a collection of high-power guns will be deported as soon as Canadian authorities can arrange his removal as a danger to Canada’s national security, an immigration hearing heard Monday. The detention review heard that Muhammad Aqeeq Ansari had waived his right to ask for a preremoval risk assessment, clearing the way for him to be sent back. Naureen Ismail, speaking for the government, told the hearing that Ansari has a valid passport and Canada Border Services Agency were finalizing removal details. Neither Ansari nor his lawyer participated in the review and he was ordered to remain in custody, said Anna Pape, a spokeswoman for the Immigration and Refugee Board. Ansari, 30, a permanent resident, was arrested in October, days after the deadly attacks on soldiers in Quebec and Ottawa. In a decision rendered last month, presiding board member Alicia Seifert ruled that the software designer who had worked under contract with the Bank of Montreal belonged to the terrorist organization known as Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan or Ahl-eSunnat Wal Jamaal. “Mr. Ansari has been engaged in activities dating back to 2004 which raise very serious concerns regarding whether he has an extremist mindset and whether he supports or has supported terrorist activities,” Seifert said in her written ruling.

Those activities include statements he made extolling the virtues of jihad, postings on his Facebook showing him posing with firearms, and a photograph of the Scotiabank tower in Toronto which he captioned, “If only I had a plane,” the ruling states. According to evidence presented, Ansari amassed $20,000 in weapons and ammunition from May to August 2012 while living in Peterborough, Ont. “It could have been acceptable that the reason he spent $20,000 purchasing guns and ammunition was the result of the financial irresponsibility of youth and the novelty of having hundreds of thousands of dollars at his disposal for the first time,” Seifert wrote. “The fact, however that he amassed $20,000 in guns and ammunition over such a short period raises questions and concerns, that remain plausibly unanswered, regarding his motives and whether there was an underlying plan.” Ansari also admitted to a close relationship with a Pakistani man — Maulana Ilyas Ghuman — who runs a religious school in Pakistan. Seifert concluded Ghuman was engaged in terrorist activities. “I am satisfied that the constellation of facts before me with respect to both Mr. Ansari’s own words and actions, as well as his devotion to Mr. Ghuman and his cause, establish that Mr. Ansari in fact represents a danger to the security of Canada,” Seifert ruled. Pape said no deportation decision had been made yet in the unrelated but similar case of Jahanzeb Malik, a Pakistani man the government accuses of plotting to blow up buildings in Toronto.

and a friend back in Canada. “In all three of them, he’s indicating that we need to call the embassy because they’re trying to hurt him,” Armsworthy said of the messages. “Security has confiscated his boarding pass, they won’t let him leave the airport.” Armsworthy said Pech also tried to reach out to his fiancee, who he’d been dating for 13 years and was slated to marry in 2016, but got nowhere because she had accidentally left her phone at home that day. The family’s certainty that something had gone amiss in Laos crystallized when his body was returned to Canada three weeks after his death. Armsworthy said a Canadian autopsy found far more than three stab wounds, adding the injuries were on several parts of his body. Consular representatives have told Armsworthy that police in Laos have refused to divulge information about how Pech died, but she has launched a petition in a bid to compel the government to probe for more details. Learning the truth about her brother’s fate, she said, will be necessary in order for his loved ones to heal.

FROM GOVERNMENT

“We just want answers. We just want the truth,” Armsworthy said in a telephone interview from Edmonton. “They’re claiming that Nara committed suicide, and we don’t believe that at all.” Armsworthy said Pech had left Canada in early January on a trip meant to celebrate his recent graduation from Toronto’s York University. She said he and two friends travelled to the Pech family’s ancestral home of Cambodia, then visited Thailand and Laos. His friends planned to extend their travels for a few weeks, but Armsworthy said her brother wanted to fly home to Toronto and rejoin his parents and fiancee. “(His friends) took him to the airport, they took him as far as they could, which was through customs, and they watched him go through customs,” she said. “After that, everybody just assumed that he was already on the flight back home.” But Pech was not homeward bound. According to information relayed to Pech’s parents, their son was detained for reasons that were not explained. Pech’s family was told that their son tried to kill himself as a result of his detention and died of three self- inflicted stab wounds. Police in Toronto broke the news to Pech’s father, who also heard the Laosian account of his son’s death through a consular official in Ottawa. Armsworthy said the family was immediately skeptical of the suicide finding, saying it was entirely out of character for Pech to go on vacation in order to take his own life. Their suspicions intensified after hearing voicemails he left for his parents, his fiancee’s parents

Dear Annie: My 14-year-old daughter attends an all-girls school. Her stepfather initially encouraged it, but in the past two years, my daughter has made friends with a few classmates who say they are lesbian or bisexual. My husband is extremely conservative (borderline homophobic), and as a result, he is shaming my daughter regularly for her friendships. I have a good bond with my daughter and feel torn. I know my husband cares about her, but his comments are hurtful. He says he will keep it up to make sure she doesn’t “become” a lesbian. I’ve pleaded with him, tried to understand him and told him to stop, but it continues. What do I do? — Is This Abuse? Dear Abuse: Shaming your daughter is a form of abuse. Your husband sounds ignorant, homophobic and idiotic. Friendships with bisexual or homosexual girls will not make your daughter “become” a lesbian. But we guarantee that your husband’s bullying will push her toward rejecting everything he says, and his influence over her will diminish to nothing. You need to stand up for your daughter more strongly. Insist that you and your husband get counseling immediately to work on this. If he refuses and will not curtail this behavior, we recommend you take your daughter and leave the house. Your husband needs to understand the consequences of his actions, and more importantly, your child should not be subjected to such emotional abuse. You are the only one who can protect her. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “G,” whose mother died and the headstone uses only the surname of her second husband. “G” was concerned that her children’s descendants won’t be able to find their grandmother’s grave because they won’t necessarily recall the second husband’s surname. Please suggest to “G” that she check the websites www.findagrave.com and www.billiongraves.com to see whether

● Save those sweet potato peelings; drizzle them with olive oil and roast for 12 minutes at 400 degrees. Cool and crumble/toss into your favorite potato salad.

● Boil fingerling potatoes whole, cool completely, then use the bottom of a Pyrex glass measuring cup to gently press each potato so it’s just smashed yet holds together. ● Potato salads can be composed: Toss ¼-inch, skinon sweet potato rounds with olive oil and herb salt before roasting for 20 to 25 minutes at 375 degrees; layer them, tian style, with sliced vegetables and cheeses. ●Treat justboiled potatoes to a generous splash of plain rice vinegar or malt vinegar. As they cool, they’ll soak in extra flavor. ●Wondering what to do with that gift bottle of flavored oil in your pantry? Coat potatoes for roasting; sprinkle them with sea salt, too. Cool completely before cutting. ● To better preserve their color, cook small purple potatoes whole. Paler slices come from potatoes that were cut in half before boiling. ● Potato salad can be as simple as boiled California Golds, pesto, salt and pepper. Cut or slice the cooked spuds.

Potato salad: an always-welcome-at-a-party side dish

● Sweet potatoes headed for salads are often roasted, but boiling a peeled, whole sweet potato turns out to be a faster way to go: typically, 12 minutes in boiling water. For this technique, it’s best to choose potatoes that are long rather than fat — no more than 2 ½ inches in diameter at the center.

● Sweet potato chunks bound for the oven or grill basket will hold their seasoning better when they have first been tossed with a minimal amount of olive oil, vinegar, orange juice or even water.

Pound for pound, a non-seasonal starter gets the double win for talent and congeniality: the potato. Here, Lemon, Garlic and Chili Potato Salad.

Lemon, Garlic and Chili Potato Salad MAKES: 6 servings

Smoked Trout, Egg and Potato Salad MAKES: 4 servings INGREDIENTS For the cider mayonnaise 2 large egg yolks, preferably free-range 4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice Sea salt 1/3 to 1/2 cup canola oil 2 teaspoons Dijon-style mustard 1/4 cup dry cider 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar Freshly ground white pepper For the salad 2 or 3 Granny Smith apples Juice of 1/2 lemon About 1 pound baby potatoes, such as fingerlings or small whole “gold” potatoes Sea salt 8 radishes, thinly sliced 4 large eggs, preferably free-range 2 large handfuls watercress 14 ounces smoked trout fillet, skinned and flaked Freshly ground black pepper Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling 1 handful mint leaves (optional)

STEPS Thoroughly rinse the potatoes, then place them in a pot. Cover with several inches of water and a good pinch of salt; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes or until the potatoes are easily pierced with a sharp knife. Meanwhile, whisk together the butter (to taste), garlic, lemon juice and chili pepper in a small bowl. Drain the potatoes; carefully but quickly cut them into quarters, transferring them to a mixing bowl as you work. Immediately add the butter mixture to the bowl; gently toss the potatoes until they are evenly coated. Let cool. Sprinkle the lemon zest, parsley and chives evenly over the coated potatoes. Season lightly with salt and pepper; toss gently to distribute. Serve at room temperature.

STEPS For the cider mayonnaise: Combine the egg yolks, lemon juice and a pinch of salt in a food processor; puree for 1 minute, then, with the motor running, gradually add the canola oil until the mixture becomes thickened and glossy (you might not have to use the maximum amount). Add the mustard, cider and cider vinegar. Taste, and season with salt and white pepper; puree just to combine. The yield is about 1 cup; cover and refrigerate until ready to use. For the salad: Cut the apples (to taste) in half; core them and cut into thin slices, tossing them into a bowl with lemon juice so they don’t turn brown. Place the potatoes in a large, wide saute pan of salted water; bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium; cook, uncovered, for about 15 minutes, until the potatoes are easily pierced with a sharp knife. Drain and cool. Place the radish slices in a bowl of ice-cold water. Let them sit for 10 minutes, then drain and pat dry on paper towels. Fill a separate bowl with ice-cold water. Place the eggs in the empty saucepan and cover with water; bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and cook for 10 minutes. Transfer the eggs to the ice water to cool. Cut the cooled potatoes into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Peel the cooled eggs and cut each one in half lengthwise. Drain the apples; combine in a serving bowl with the sliced potatoes, radishes, egg, watercress and smoked trout. Add half of the cider mayonnaise, tossing lightly to coat. Taste, and season with salt and/or black pepper as needed. Add more of the cider mayo as needed. Drizzle with the olive oil; garnish with the mint, if desired. Serve right away

INGREDIENTS Flaked sea salt About 1 pound potato gnocchi, preferably fresh or frozen/defrosted 1 1/2 tablespoons good-quality olive oil 2 small cloves garlic, minced 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary 2 soft, ripe pears, such as Anjou or Bosc, cored and cut into cubes Coarsely ground black pepper 1/4 cup freshly grated pecorino-Romano cheese

Gnocchi Salad With Pecorino and Pear.

INGREDIENTS 2 1/4 pounds small new (unpeeled) potatoes, preferably of similar size Sea salt 4 to 6 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at a warm room temperature 2 cloves garlic, crushed Finely grated zest and juice of 2 lemons 2 teaspoons seeded, minced green chili pepper, such as Anaheim, serrano or jalapeno 1 small handful flat-leaf parsley leaves, coarsely chopped About 20 chive stems, coarsely chopped Freshly ground black pepper

In summer’s unofficial produce pageant, Silver Queen corn reigns perennial, while peaches and late-August tomatoes vie for runner-up honours. Pound for pound, though, a non-seasonal starter gets the double win for talent and congeniality: the potato. Not just any spud will do. Go for the small, less-starchy models that now come in many colors, with skin so tender that no one would think of stripping them bare. They’re the ones that make potato salads the always-welcome-at-a-party side dish. Seldom do we try a potato salad recipe that disappoints. When it does fall short, odds are good that somebody has over- or undercooked the star ingredient. Texture is key: You’re after a clean, yielding bite, either in counterpoint to the crunch of

Gnocchi Salad With Pecorino and Pear MAKES: 4 servings

Hot Potato Salad MAKES: 8 to 10 servings INGREDIENTS About 4 pounds russet potatoes Kosher salt 1 pound processed cheese, such as Velveeta, well chilled 1 1/2 cups low-fat mayonnaise (do not use nonfat) 1 cup half-and-half 1/2 medium yellow onion, chopped 1 cup small, pimento-stuffed Spanish olives (about 57) Freshly ground black pepper 6 thin bacon slices, cut into 2-inch pieces STEPS Thoroughly scrub the potatoes, then place them in a large pot. Cover with water and add a pinch of salt; bring to a boil over medium-high heat; cover partially and cook for about 25 minutes or until tender. Drain and cool completely. Peel the potatoes, then cut them into 1-inch cubes. Grate the cheese on the large-holed side of a box grater; the yield is about 4 3/4 cups. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Grease a broilerproof 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking oil spray. Whisk together the mayonnaise and half-and-half in a large mixing bowl, then add the onion, olives, potatoes and cheese, tossing to coat and distribute evenly. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Transfer the mixture to the baking dish, spreading it evenly. Scatter the bacon pieces on top. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, until bubbling, then transfer to the stove top (off the heat) while you position a rack 4 to 6 inches below the broiler. Return the baking dish to the oven; broil for about 5 minutes or just until the bacon has crisped. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

STEPS Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add a generous pinch of salt, then the gnocchi. Cook according to the package directions; they will float to the surface within 2 or 3 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a small saute pan over low heat; stir in the garlic. Cook for about 4 minutes or until softened, stirring a few times. Remove from the heat; stir in the rosemary and let cool. Drain the gnocchi and transfer them to a serving bowl; add the pears and the garlic-rosemary oil. Season lightly with salt and pepper, tossing to incorporate. Top with the cheese; serve right away, passing more cheese at the table.

celery or in concert with ripe avocado. To achieve that magic consistently, by boiling, start with a wide saute pan instead of a deep pot. Potatoes need only a few inches of salted water to cover but enough room to sit almost in a single layer. (Their skins will stay intact.) Small, whole potatoes about 1 ½ inches thick take 10 to 15 minutes; allow 25 minutes or so for larger red bliss or gold-fleshed varieties. When the tip of a paring knife can pierce the flesh with minimal resistance, they’re most likely done. But just to be sure, you can pluck the fattest potato from the pan and cut it open. Be gentle as you pour them into a colander in the sink, then treat them to an immediate, generous splash of rice or malt vinegar. The hot potatoes will absorb the liquid and become properly seasoned as they cool. The vinegar also helps to set the skins in place. Sweet potatoes are often roasted for

salads, but boiling them peeled and whole works surprisingly well. Choose ones that are evenly thick, less than 2 ½ inches wide at the center. They’ll cook as fast as their petite pals: two of them can go into a medium saute pan of boiling salted water and be done in 12 minutes. Choose a mayonnaise-, yogurt- or oilbased dressing with a thought as to how and where you’ll be serving: alfresco, for a hours-long buffet or for a quick weeknight meal.
