‘I still believe in the force’ ALICE CLARK WANTS TO RESTORE PRIDE IN THE RCMP DESPITE THE SUFFERING IT CAUSED HER

BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF Alice Clark found a pair of plastic breasts taped to her work station with her badge number and “RCMP Girl” written on them.

Some male officers refused to let her back them up in the field and her calls for assistance often went unanswered. On one occasion, Clark was guarding a body at a murder scene when an officer suggested they have sex in the back seat of his car.

Clark is the former Red Deer City detachment officer who successfully sued the RCMP after suffering five years of sexual harassment and discrimination at the hands of her superiors and peers. The two examples merely scratch the surface of dozens of incidents outlined in her lawsuit. A federal court awarded her $93,000 in 1994 for lost wages and compensation for pain and suffering.

In her soon-to-be released book, Blush of the Scarlet, Clark shares her experiences at the Red Deer detachment during the mid-1980s.

By telling her story, the ex-Mountie hopes to help others who may face harassment, bullying or intimidation in the workplace or other situations.

“My story is not unusual,” said Clark, 58. “It’s very common. It’s just that the organization involved is unusual.”

Decades later, however, allegations of gender discrimination and harassment on Canada’s national police force still persist.

Recently, more than 400 civilians and female officers across Canada have asked a B.C. judge to certify a class action lawsuit against the RCMP. The allegations range from rape, discrimination and sexual touching to physical assault.

Reached in her Nanaimo, B.C., home, Clark said she is not surprised that these women are coming forward.

After Clark won her case in the 1990s, female officers throughout Canada reached out to her with their own stories.

“When I sued, I had no one to support me in the process except for my then-husband (a former officer) and one (RCMP dispatcher) who was posted to Red Deer,” said Clark. “When she testified at my trial, she was no longer working for the RCMP.” Clark quit the force in 1987 and took a job with the B.C. government. She said it took her many years to come to terms with what happened and step into her personal power.

“Members within the RCMP must speak out when they see or hear the abuse,” said Clark. “There is no excuse to remain silent. We all own it and we all need to work to change it.”

In the 1980s and 1990s, there were few women in policing, and harassment in the workplace was not at the forefront of social discussion. Today, there are an estimated 4,000 women on the force.

Red Deer now boasts the largest RCMP detachment in Alberta, with roughly 91 men and 40 women on the payroll.

Only a handful of women worked in Red Deer’s 60-member detachment in the 1980s.

At the time, it was unheard of to sue someone for sexual harassment, let alone the Canadian government.

Red Deer lawyer Lorne Goddard knew winning the case would be an uphill battle, starting when he filed the statement of claim, because no one had ever argued sexual harassment in

Alice Clark and her then husband Bruce Clark from September 1993.

A Civilian Review and Complaints Commission for the RCMP published Public Interest Investigation Report into the Issues of Workplace Harassment with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in February 2013.

The investigation concluded that harassment is not systemic within the organization. It noted that sexual harassment accounted for four per cent of complaints. The RCMP receives roughly 150 harassment complaints each year, 0.5 per cent of all employees.

“Though incident rates of harassment are low, one case is too many. The RCMP is continually striving to improve in order to provide a safe and respectful work environment for its employees. One that is free of discrimination, offensive behaviour and harassment,” according to its website.

The RCMP Act, nearly 30 years old, was updated in November 2014. It includes revised human resource management processes and new service standards for the investigation and resolution of harassment complaints.

The RCMP also developed a new Code of Conduct for police members and public service employees that specifically identifies harassment as a contravention of the code.

A week before the case went to trial, the defence lost all its witnesses. One other witness came forward a few days before the trial began.

“We went against the government of Canada and the RCMP,” said Goddard. “It was pretty daunting. Alice had a lot of courage. ... The RCMP tried very hard to make Alice look like she was incompetent. They had her on the stand for quite a long time and she held her own. We were able to prove sexual harassment against her.”

While Goddard was representing Clark, he had two other similar cases that were eventually resolved.

Goddard said he is not sure if there has been any cultural shifts in the RCMP over the years, especially in light of the recent allegations.

“It was a case that changed the law

but I don’t know if it changed behaviour,” he said.

Clark said when she found out that RCMP were investigating her for two alleged assaults, she had enough. She had been transferred to Beaverlodge and she thought that horrible chapter of her life was over.

“I thought they are not going to give me any peace no matter where I go,” said Clark, who at the time used her maiden name of Abernathy. “They are not going to let me be. So I quit. Being naive, I thought if I quit they are going to drop the charges. Of course, they didn’t. That’s when I got mad because I gave them what they wanted and they are still going after me. I thought, ‘No that’s enough. You want a start a fight.

You better be prepared to finish it.’ ” A jury of six men and six women found Clark not guilty of the assault

causing bodily harm. The assaults were alleged to have occurred against two women and the three-day trial took place in the Court of Queen’s Bench in September 1988. Clark was charged with two counts of assault, dating back to arrests she had made in 1983 and 1986. Neither woman, who Clark arrested in two separate incidents, lodged a complaint with the RCMP at the time. The two women testified that they were approached by the RCMP about the incidents in 1987.

The assault charges came six months after Clark filed an internal sexual harassment complaint against fellow officers in the fall of 1986. Her then-husband Bruce Clark, also a Mountie, quit the force soon after she was served the papers.

Goddard, who was also Clark’s lawyer in the assault case, told a court that senior RCMP officers knew about the alleged assaults immediately after they happened but decided not to take action. He argued the charges were laid vindictively and therefore constituted an abuse of the principles of fundamental justice.

“Nothing happens until after Alice Abernathy lays a complaint of harassment,” he said.

Outside the courthouse after the non-guilty verdict in 1988, Clark told the Advocate that women will have to fight hard to combat the old attitudes held by some male officers that women don’t belong in the force.

Clark said if she didn’t fight back, she didn’t think she could live with herself.

“It was something that would have eaten at me for the rest of my life,” she said.

The wounds are still healing but Clark wants to do her part to help restore pride in Canada’s national police force. She still believes the RCMP needs a cultural attitude shift that must begin at Depot, the RCMP training academy in Regina.

“I still believe in the force,” Clark said recently.

She could not hold back her emotions as she spoke.

“And it hurts. I love the force. It was a lifetime dream to be a member. And I have a great deal of respect for them.

I know it’s a very difficult job. I know it’s hard to do. I know there’s a lot of great people out there. I want to make it better again. I want them to be Canada’s pride again. We have lost that and we need it back.”

Clark said she loved the job but she hated being treated horribly.

“I have come out of it a better person in so many different ways,” said Clark. “And I thank the RCMP for what happened because I wouldn’t be the person who I am today. I really like who am I today. Because of that, I am in a place where I can help other people.”

Clark said she plans to offer workshops to women’s centres, educational institutions and to anyone who is interested in taking control of their lives.

Blush of the Scarlet will be available in paperback, e-book and audio in August. More information is available on Blush of the Scarlet on Facebook.

RCMP officials in Ottawa did not respond to Advocate requests for an interview.

According to its website, the “RCMP is committed to a safe and respectful work environment, free of discrimination, and harassment. However — as with any large organization — conflicts can arise.” crhyno@reddeeradvocate.com

Benefit organized for victims of blaze

BY ADVOCATE STAFF A benefit is being held to help a family who lost their home and all possessions in a fire on a rural property known as the historic Moore Ranch near Pine Lake.

Judy Dreeshen said on Friday that Rosalie and Andy Engman and son Mason were home when the fire occurred.

Rosalie Engman, who is Dreeshen’s niece, had been up late watching TV on May 26, but had nodded off. She awoke to a strange noise on the roof of the manufactured home they lived in. The noise turned out to be cinders landing on the roof.

Dreeshen said the compressor on the motor of a freezer in a nearby garage had caught fire. “She really just had time to wake up her son and husband and get everybody out alive, thank God,” Dreeshen said.

They were treated for smoke inhalation and were OK but it would have been minutes before they would have been not OK, she said.

The fire destroyed the garage, home and an addition to the home, located about 13 km south of Pine Lake. The ranch has been in the Moore family for four generations.

Charlie and Janice Moore, who own the ranch but now live across the road, had been in Red Deer at an event and were returning when they saw the fire.

They tried to fight it with a garden hose while waiting for the fire depart-

Rosalie Engman had been up late watching TV on May 26 when she heard a strange noise on the roof of her manufactured home. She had just enough time to wake up her son and husband and get everybody out alive before a fire destroyed the garage, home and an addition to the home, located about 13km south of Pine Lake. ment but everything is tinder dry in the Pine Lake area, Dreeshen said.

Elnora, Innisfail and Penhold volunteer fire departments responded and were able to save the machinery shop, shed, barn and corrals. “Thank heaven it wasn’t a really windy night,”

Dreeshen said.

The benefit is on June 20 at 7 p.m. at the Crossroads Agriculture Park at Pine Lake. There will be live and silent auctions, food, refreshments and entertainment. It is being hosted by the Crossroads Agriculture Society.

As well, a trust fund has been set up at the Innisfail ATB in the name of “Engman Fire Fund” to help the family, who did not have any insurance.

Crossroads Agriculture Park is located at the intersection of Hwys 42 and 816.

Red Deer man found guilty of fatal hit and run

BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF A Red Deer man involved in a fatal hit and run on Taylor Drive bridge in 2012 was found guilty on Friday in Red Deer Court of Queen’s Bench.

Justice John Little found Brent Robert Cameron, 26, formerly of St. John’s.

N.B., guilty of failing to stop and help at the collision scene and guilty of mischief for reporting his SUV stolen.

Paul Gabriel Bertin, 18, had recently moved to Red Deer from his hometown of Botha. He was run down and found on the northbound lanes of the Taylor Drive Bridge at about 2 a.m. on Oct. 6, 2012.

He died from the head and neck injuries sustained in the initial collision.

Another vehicle also drove over him as he lay on the road.

Damage to Cameron’s Subaru Outback matched debris from scene.

When questioned by police, Cameron maintained he hit a dark figure, an animal like a small bear, standing upright.

Little said his claim of hitting an animal was “totally lacking in credibility.”

He said Cameron intended to mislead police and showed himself to be a liar by reporting his vehicle stolen.

He recalled how Cameron refused to answer an officer who asked him why he abandoned his vehicle and reported it stolen if he had hit an animal.

The driver’s side of the windshield sustained so much damage it would have been difficult for the driver to see.

Early in the investigation Cameron did admit to police his vehicle was not stolen outside a downtown bar as he first reported.

Defence did not contest the charge of public mischief related to the stolen vehicle report.

A woman with Cameron testified he stopped the vehicle and got out for about a minute while on the bridge after she heard a thump. She was intoxicated and texting at the time and did not see the collision.

They had met at a bar and were on their way to an after party. Following

the collision, he parked his vehicle in Riverside Meadows and then called a cab and sent her away.

Little said another driver who found Bertin on the street testified she saw bubbles coming out of his mouth so he may have been alive after he was struck.

He said that driver could tell it was a person lying on the road and so would Cameron if he had stopped to check although it was unclear where he stopped.

Little said either Cameron didn’t stop, or stopped and failed to offer assistance.

The trial resumed on Friday with closing arguments from Crown Prosecutor Wayne Silliker and defence counsel Glen Allen.

The trial started in January but had to be adjourned because Cameron was a no-show on the third day. He was arrested at a Red Deer residence 10 days later.

Defence called no evidence during the trial.

He will be held in custody until his sentencing, which is scheduled for July 22. szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com

Edmonton man accused in toddler’s patio death pleads guilty to charge EDMONTON — A man who mistakenly pushed the gas pedal on his SUV, plowing onto a restaurant patio and killing a toddler, is now facing the prospect of prison in addition to constant fears of vengeance, says his lawyer.

Dino Bottos says people in the community have wrongly believed for the last two years that his client, Richard Suter, was drunk when the crash happened two years ago.

On Friday, the 64-year-old retired businessman pleaded guilty to refusing to provide police with a breath sample when there is a death, a relatively new charge in the Criminal Code that carries a maximum sentence of 14 years.

He was originally scheduled to go to trial on more serious charges, including impaired driving causing death, but those are expected to be withdrawn at his sentencing hearing in October.

“Everyone thought he was drunk and he wasn’t drunk,” Bottos told reporters outside an Edmonton court. “Through misinformation and exaggeration, this city has been poisoned against Mr. Suter and he has suffered a great deal of harm.”

CALGARY — A longtime administrator with The Young Canadians performance group at the Calgary Stampede is facing sexual charges dating back to the 1990s involving several teenage performers.

Philip Heerema, 52, faces 13 charges that include child pornography, sexual assault, luring a child via a computer and inciting sexual contact with a youth.

The Young Canadians performance school involves 120 students from the Calgary area. They train to deliver public performances, most notably during the grandstand shows at the Calgary Stampede.

Police say they received a complaint from a student and his parents in January 2014 of an inappropriate relationship with a “person of authority” with the troupe.

“The investigation began with one victim coming forward initially and, as our investigators conducted their interviews, more people were identified and spoken to,” Staff-Sgt. Melanie Oncescu said Friday.

As a result, there are now seven alleged victims, she said.

One of the complaints dates back to 1997.

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Stephen Harper faces some stiff international head winds on Canada’s climate change ambition as he heads to a G7 meeting in Germany next week.

Canada is being publicly blasted as a climate laggard in a report co-authored by former United Nations secretary general Kofi Annan, while the government’s chief climate negotiator fielded skeptical questions about Canada’s greenhouse-gas reduction policies at a UN climate conference in Bonn this week.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel has made climate a priority at this year’s G7 summit which begins Sunday, in advance of a UN conference in December that aims to negotiate a post-2020 climate deal.

Harper will arrive in Germany with plenty of baggage, including a report released Friday by the Africa Progress Panel that lumps Canada in with Australia, Japan and Russia as countries that it says are “effectively withdrawing from constructive engagement on climate.”

“By hedging their bets and waiting for others to move first, some governments are playing poker with the planet and future generations’ lives,” Annan said in a release Friday.

“This is not a moment for prevarication, short-term self-interest and constrained ambition, but for bold global leadership and decisive action.”

The atmosphere is already chilly in Bonn, where Brazil, South Africa, the European Union and the United States were among those seeking more information from Canada’s climate negotiator about whether Canada is doing anything to close the current gap on its 2020 international emissionsreduction target.

A spokesman for Environment Minister Leona Aglukkaq said Friday the Conservatives are the first Canadian government ever to achieve a net reduction of greenhouse emissions.

Shane Buckingham added that the government has “consistently demonstrated our support for successful international negotiations” while helping finance African climate programs.

OTTAWA — If you were hoping to bet big in a Canadian casino on the Super Bowl or World Series, you’re probably out of luck.

A proposed law already passed by the House of Commons that would legalize single-game sports betting in Canada — currently an estimated $14-billion market — is in danger of dying in the Senate.

In killing the bill, Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s Conservatives, who control the Senate, are choosing to forgo any windfall from what advocates argue would be a spike in jobs, tax revenue and cross-border gambling by U.S. tourists.

Instead, they’re deferring to warnings of increased game-fixing and addiction.

Bill C-290 would allow provinces to legalize single-game bets in addition to the multiple-game wagers currently allowed. It passed the House of Commons on a voice vote in 2012 only to stall for three years in the Senate, a sign of the unelected chamber’s enduring power.

Harper’s Senate majority has delayed the bill rather than voting it down. Now the bill, and four others that have wallowed for at least two years, will die if they’re not passed when the Senate rises next month. After that, Parliament won’t sit again before the federal election scheduled for Oct. 19.

In the United States, gambling on sports is mostly outlawed. Although New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is fighting a legal battle to open the door to it, and the head of the National Basketball Association wants it legalized, it’s allowed in only four states. Amid the U.S. wrangling, New Democratic Party lawmaker Brian Masse sees a tourism opportunity.

“The reality is this: it’s happening in the bars, back rooms and basements.

With the click of a mouse, you can make these bets,” Masse said. “Why not regulate it?”

The Canadian Gaming Association estimates Canadians already bet $10 billion underground and $4 billion online each a year on single games. Tapping into that market, advocates argue, would mean new jobs in casinos across the country and more government revenue.

“It’s incredibly frustrating,” said Paul Burns, vice-president of the gam-

ing association, which supports the proposed gambling law. “It’s a bill the elected officials sure saw merit in.”

While several provinces support the bill, it has stiff opposition. The National Football League, NBA, National Hockey League and Major League Baseball all testified against it, with the president of the Toronto Blue Jays raising fears of another “Black Sox” 1919 game-fixing scandal.

The bill is now set to fail without a final vote. Conservative Senator Bob Runciman, who supports the legislation and chairs the committee considering it, said in an email the committee is “unlikely” to deal with it before the fall election.

Attention on the gambling bill comes at a trying time for the Senate.

The 105-seat body is under audit, faces calls for reform or abolition and one senator, Mike Duffy, is on trial for 31 criminal charges including fraud.

The Senate, whose members are appointed by the sitting prime minister and serve until age 75, was created as a so-called chamber of sober second thought. It has evolved into a rubberstamp institution stacked with party loyalists and fundraisers, according to the House of Commons Opposition New Democrats (who have no Senate members).

A bill to bolster human-rights protections for transgender people and another to increase the powers of individual lawmakers are among those also languishing in the Senate. The sponsor of the transgender bill, New Democrat Randall Garrison, expects it to die and said he will re-introduce it if re-elected.

In 2010, Harper’s senators drew heavy fire for voting down a climatechange bill passed by the House of Commons. Delaying a bill to death avoids that fate — a tactic now being used even against fellow Conservatives. Independent MP Brent Rathgeber predicts the other bill — the one to empower individual lawmakers, which was put forward by former Conservative cabinet minister Michael Chong — will also die.

“It’s the same basic tactic,” said Rathgeber, who quit Harper’s caucus in 2013. “You support it publicly, you support it in the House. On a day in committee where you hope nobody is looking, you eviscerate it or change it.

If you’re still not happy with it, you rag the puck and let time run out in the Senate.”

The gambling bill doesn’t specifically permit single-game betting but

rather opens the door for provinces to allow it. James Cowan, the leader of the Senate opposition Liberals, said senators are divided on the bill.

The Canadian Chamber of Commerce is among those supporting it.

“With only weeks left in this Parliament, the chambers again ask the Senate to pass Bill C-290,” Perrin Beatty, the group’s chief executive officer, wrote in a letter to senators this month.

Masse believes he has enough support in the Senate to pass the bill, if were to come to a vote. He said legalized single-game betting would mean 200 to 300 jobs for a casino in his city, Windsor, across the river from Detroit.

The casino gets calls from as far away as Ohio and Kentucky during the National Collegiate Athletic Association Final Four basketball tournament, with gamblers asking if single-game betting is legal yet, Masse said.

Conservative Senator Vern White opposes the bill, saying it will exacerbate gambling addictions and not lead to the rush of cross-border betting that advocates hope for.

“I don’t see the positive side that comes out of casinos, but I do see the negative,” said White, a former police chief appointed to the Senate by Harper in 2012. The Prime Minister’s Office has not pressed him to slow or stall bills, White added.

Harper’s office referred questions to the government leader in the Senate, Claude Carignan, who declined an interview request. His spokesman, Sebastien Gariepy, declined to detail why the bills have been delayed. “Senators will continue to work hard studying and debating the legislation that remains before them right up until the Senate rises,” he said in an email.

June: the good, the bad and the ugly There is something about the month of June that captures the imaginations of virtually several people each and every year.

Whether it’s because June is smack dab between May and July, or whether it’s because June can’t decide whether it’s spring or summer or something in between, the month of June remains one of HARLEY the 12 most faHAY mous months.

There are even very famous phrases about June like this one from the movies: “The moon in June, stays mainly on the plain. …” (My Fair Lady), or “It’s June, let’s get married. …” (every second chick flick).

So in the interests of this interesting month, I believe it’s time for another recurring feature we here at Hay’s Daze like to call: A Recurring Feature.

HAY’S DAZE

June – the good ● Romance. Did you know that 88 per cent of all weddings take place in June? Neither did I and neither did you, on account of I just made that up.

Point is, June is the perfect month for romantic endeavours like falling in love, going for romantic walks along a beach or playing horseshoes. And according to Statistics Canada “there are an awful lot of weddings in June.”

● Graduation. All those gowns and hats usually happen in June because teachers close most of the schools for the summer and by June the graduates need to get the heck out of school and throw something (their hats).

They are also in a big hurry to use the last few fading days of June to work hard planning ways to create a summer of intense partying. ● Weather. Did you know that 88 per cent of all rain falls in. … OK, I’m making things up again, but one of the really good things about the month of June is that you never really know what you’re in for, weather-wise. June is Mother Nature’s way of keeping us guessing.

She likes these little games, ole Mother Nature.

So when you plan your wedding, graduation or bocce ball session, you may either get sunburned, drenched or hit by lightning. Isn’t June fun?

June – the bad ● Golf. Many people golf before June, but these are people who are normally crazy or who have registered golf handicaps below triple digits.

June in this neck of the woods is really the month that folks dig out the old golf sticks, dust off the old balls and head for the links. I can hear you asking: “So what’s so ‘bad’ about that?” Thanks for asking, I will answer with another question: “Have you seen most of us golf?” If you are like me, first of all, my condolences, and secondly it becomes very clear that June golf is not pretty. ● Lawns. Now that the blooms of a magical fertile spring have blossomed in the joyful world of April and May, June comes along to embarrass you by

messing up your lawn. She does this by secretly sprouting bright yellow dandelions all over your nice greenery, especially upon your front lawn where all the neighbors can gasp in horror at your yellow spotted house-meadow.

June also likes to turn your lawn brown, send ants to make hills, and encourage earthworms to make bumps.

Also, June is a perfect time to waste significant dollars on organic fertilizers, herbicides, insecticides, and many other kinds of ’cides that work wonderfully well in promoting the growth of quack grass. And more dandelions. ● Weather. As mentioned previously, weather in June is, to quote Environment Canada, “Either wet or not.” It’s all about rainfall, isn’t it? Too much rain in June can be bad.

Not enough rain in June can also be bad.

Some people want a lot of rain (people in asylums). Some want no rain at all (people allergic to water).

And some people don’t care (people who live in Ontario). It’s too confusing — that’s why weather is bad in June.

June – the ugly ● Pre-summer. June has got to be the slowest month of the year. Except for the first half of December when it takes, like, forever to get to Christmas.

And of course the middle of January or February when it’s 40 below and time runs slower than molasses going uphill in the middle of January or February.

Other than that and a couple of other slow times during the year, June is definitely the slowest.

Why? Because it takes way too long to get to summer. Maybe it’s because we are all forever ingrained with 12

(or more) years of school that make us feel that September is the actual start of the year, and that June is the end of the year, and that summer is bliss.

Or maybe it’s because June happens to have at least 63 days in the month.

Especially when you’re waiting desperately for July. ● Junebugs. I once dedicated an entire book chapter to these horrific abominations of nature — that’s how ugly they are.

If you’ve been lucky enough to avoid confrontation with this insect beetle the size of an adult male’s shiny black dress shoe, I envy you. All I need to say to make even the most enthusiastic entomologist curl up in a ball and weep is: “Those things can fly!” ● Weather. Have I mentioned thunder and lightning?

June is a great month for thunder storms, which is an unmitigated disaster if you own a dog, a child or any other pet who is deathly afraid of the wicked flash of massive cloudsparks or the KABOOM of thunderboomers.

Or you yourself may be like my own Mom, who used to try to put pillows on the windows, when she wasn’t trying to hide under the couch during a flashband June storm.

So yes June can be categorized in one or more categories. Just remember: no matter which category this month happens to land in, June is what you make it.

Especially if you are away at the time. I’d recommend California.

Generating productivity growth It’s an issue that is below the political radar in Canada. Our politicians don’t talk about it because there are no easy answers. No mention was made in Finance Minister Joe Oliver’s 2015 budget speech. It was largely ignored in Bank of Canada governor Stephen Poloz’s recent speech on economic signposts watched by the bank.

But in a fundamental sense it is much more important to Canada’s future well-being than any of the redistributive promises our politicians are making about helping the middle class.

This is the issue of productivity — or more importantly these days, the failure to generate a high level of producDAVID tivity growth. Nothing matters CRANE more for sustained improvements in living standards, and the generation of wealth to sustain important public services, including health care and education. Without productivity improvements, we face a future of weak economic growth and diminished prospects for Canadians.

The issue is even more important today because we are living in an aging society where improved productivity will become even more important as we face growing health care, pension and other costs at a time when the potential growth rate of the economy is slowing.

Two forces determine the growth of the economy: The increase in labour supply and total hours

INSIGHT

worked plus increases in productivity growth. As the rate of increase in labour supply declines, improving the growth of productivity becomes even more important in sustaining economic growth, raising living standards and generating the wealth and tax base to support essential public programmes.

Following the 2012 budget, the Department of Finance published a report, Economic and Fiscal Implications of Canada’s Aging Population, warning that “the expected slowing in labour supply growth will have significant implications for real and nominal GDP unless productivity growth and labour force participation increase.”

From 1972 to 2011, according to Finance, labour supply grew at an annual average rate of 1.7 per cent while productivity grew at 1.2 per cent, with real GDP growing at an average annual rate of 2.9 per cent and per capita income growing at 1.8 per cent a year.

In 2012-16, Finance projected, labour supply would grow at 1.1 per cent a year and productivity at 1.2 per cent a year, with GDP growing at 2.3 per cent a year and per capita income growing at 1.3 per cent a year. For the projected period 2017 to 2030, labour supply growth was projected to increase at only 0.4 per cent a year and productivity to average 1.2 per cent a year, yielding an average growth rate of 1.6 per cent a year and per capita income growth of 0.6 per cent a year.

According to the OECD Compendium of Productivity Indicators published earlier this year, Canada ranked 18th in labour productivity among 33 OECD countries but, even more worrisome, ranked 27th in labour productivity growth in 1995-2013. As Finance acknowledged, “on average, Canadian businesses have not improved their productivity performance

over the last decade.”

Yet this is not just a Canadian problem. As the Conference Board in New York has warned, poor productivity growth is afflicting countries around the world, with the slowest growth last year since 2000. Unless productivity improves, we face a world of slow economic growth.

Canada’s emphasis on balancing the budget may have made productivity worse since it meant slower growth due to inadequate demand in the economy.

Federal spending estimates in 2010-11 totalled $250.2 billion after inflation. Two years later the total was $207.8 billion and last year $208.3 billion. In pursuit of a balanced budget, the government removed significant stimulus from the economy far too quickly.

Business investment in new machinery and equipment and business spending on research and development have been weak, in part because of weak demand in the economy. For its part, the federal government has curbed spending on infrastructure even though infrastructure spending can boost productivity. Likewise, according to Statistics Canada, federal spending on research and development in the fiscal year just ended, adjusted for inflation, was at the lowest level since 2004-05.

Governments can’t fix much in the short-run but they can have a profound impact on the mediumlong-run. Raising our productivity performance for a better economic future is not a quick-fix challenge.

It will take much effort, including better understanding of why productivity performance is weak. But since it is central to our future well-being the challenge of productivity should be at the top of our concerns, not below the radar where it is hidden today.

Rescuing, rehabbing the living One of the great pleasures in life at the end of a long work day is to be able to go home to a loving spouse, have a shower, a light meal, then put your feet up and chill in front of the unit often referred to as the idiot box.

You don’t have to think, because if you do, you are constantly reminded that your body is no longer like it was 40 years ago.

On Tuesdays, that most often is my routine, the most recent being no different.

One of the programs that I like to watch is the Love Nature (formerly Oasis) channel, and on Tuesday evenings, there is a program called CHRIS Hope for Wildlife. It’s about an SALOMONS animal rescue centre in Eastern Canada and their endless and dedicated efforts to save injured or dying animals and birds.

These people go to extremely great lengths to rehab some of these unfortunate creatures. Many animals requiring long-term care; even surgery and then recovery for as long as two years. I find this to be a heart-lifting hour as the large majority of these stricken animals are re-introduced to the wild.

Well folks, this night was no different; my back

STREET TALES

and body hurt, my feet were sore and I was tired, so my routine was a welcome prospect. Then as Hope for Wildlife drew to a close, I reflected on the fact that this group of caring people were facing the prospect of keeping a hoary bat alive for the entire winter because it had missed the migration window, and now it was too cold for this little member of the animal world to be outside; it would just die without human intervention.

Like I mentioned, I was reflecting; my body shuts down but my mind is run by Eveready. In my thinking, I began to see many similarities to their work and the work of organizations like ours and many others in Red Deer. The only difference being the object of our caring and attention.

Last night’s supper reinforced the fact that this work is so important. A local church group volunteered to help with the supper and their enthusiasm was evident. Several times, I was able to look out over the dining hall and each time what I saw was people eating, enjoying the food and a real camaraderie. There was a very peaceful atmosphere in the room. I know that once outside, these same people are once again on their guard even with the same ones they just ate with.

Although we enjoyed the peace of that meal time, there was still a lot of hurt, violated, addicted and very lonely people in that room. But just the opportunity to help them forget their circumstances for an hour I know makes a big difference in their lives. I know, because they tell me so — many times.

The food being just the draw, the real value lies in the caring and loving attitude of the many volunteers who try in many ways to reach out to this segment of our society. Their respect and compassion I know make a difference to the lives of those in less fortunate circumstances.

Many are on the street because of their own choosing and the choices they make, so that when volunteers make an effort to reach out and show some care and compassion, the effect on them can be life-changing and in some cases life-saving. Often we hear comments like, “If it wasn’t for so-and-so helping me when I needed it most, I wouldn’t be alive today.” Although I feel the work of animal rescue agencies is important and very needed, even more so the agencies that care for and help human beings.

A rescued barn owl is nursed back to health, released and you never hear from it again. Not so people. Once they are nursed back to health and reintegrated into society, the effect of their recovery is felt and appreciated in the fact that they now contribute to society as a whole.

The rescue of an injured animal gives many volunteers the satisfaction of having done something valuable in the world in which we live; in the same way, but I believe even more so, for the volunteers who experience the rehabilitation of another person.

I think we should call it Hope for Life — it may have been wild, but now has a new lease on life.

Greece: the never-ending crisis “The Greek government would be well-advised to act quickly — for the Greek banks, it is five minutes to midnight,” said Andreas Dombret, an executive board member of the German central bank, last weekend.

And everybody whose memory extends back a few years goes: “That again?

Somebody has been saying that every three GWYNNE months or so DYER since 2010.

Why should we believe it this time?”

The answer is that you probably shouldn’t. The ability of the European Union to dodge the issue and kick the can down the road another few months is unparalleled.

But it’s the wrong question. The right one is: why is this crisis still going on five years after it began?

Normally, when a country spends itself into near-bankruptcy like Greece did, the whole cycle of crisis, default (or a tough International Monetary Fund bailout), and recovery takes much less time than that. Whereas there’s still no end in sight for Greece, although its economy has shrunk by a quarter since 2010.

But then, Greece is not a normal country. It’s a member of the European Union.

When an independent country runs out of money to pay its debts and cannot borrow any more, it has normally has two options. One is to make a deal with the IMF: in return for IMF loans to tide it over, the government promises to restructure the economy (stop subsidizing favoured groups and businesses), balance the budget (collect more taxes and cut spending) and, above all, devalue the currency.

Greece has done all of that — except that it cannot devalue its currency, because it does not control it. It is locked into membership of the pan-European currency, the euro, which means that its costs stay high and foreign investment doesn’t flow in as it would after a devaluation.

There is another route out of the trap: default. If the government cannot possibly pay back all its debts, just repudiate them. You’ll be locked out of the international markets for some years, but you can only borrow at an exorbitant interest rate already, so

INSIGHT

what have you lost?

So long as the government can still raise enough in taxes to cover its own domestic spending commitments, it’s still in business. And after some years, you offer to pay all the creditors you stiffed 10 cents on the dollar, they take the deal because something is better than nothing, and you can start borrowing internationally again.

A default is not necessarily a disaster. Greece has defaulted seven times before in its history, and almost every default was accompanied by a devaluation that put the economy on the road to recovery. But it has not defaulted this time, because that would almost certainly mean giving up the euro, which Greeks see as proof that they are a serious member of the mainstream European community.

Greece should never have been allowed to join the euro in the first place, but the Greek government concealed the scale of its debts and the European Union turned a blind eye to them. Then subsequent Greek governments, equally corrupt and irresponsi-

ble, exploited their euro membership to borrow a great deal more.

European banks, especially German and French ones, recklessly ignored the risk in lending to a country that was so obviously living beyond its means, because they reckoned that the central banks would bail Greece out rather than let a member of the eurozone default.

There’s plenty of blame to go around, and the debt-fuelled binge went on for years, until the crash of 2008 brought the party to an end.

Greece’s debt now amounts to 175 per cent of gross domestic product.

No other developed country has ever reached that level of debt in peacetime without eventually defaulting. But the EU goes on feeding Greece just enough money to prevent a default — and 90 per cent of that money goes straight back to German, French and other European banks in debt repayments.

There is no way that Greece can ever repay its debts. Either its creditors cancel at least half its debt, or it must eventually default. Anything else is

simply stretching Greece’s agony out.

Indeed, the Greek economy is already so badly damaged that there is some question as to whether the government could now raise enough income from domestic sources to maintain essential services after a default.

The Greeks have suffered a great deal of hardship already to stay in the euro and they seem prepared to suffer some more.

The European Union is prepared to cut them enough slack to keep them from defaulting, because its members fear the future of the euro itself if it becomes clear that countries can actually leave.

However, the EU will not make enough concessions to put Greece on the road to recovery.

So this unbearable status quo will continue for a while — and eventually the Greeks will say “enough.” But it will still be five minutes to midnight for some months, and quite possibly even into next year.

Fortunately, the truth is seldom entirely what we imagine it to be.

In a little over 250 square km, Martha’s Vineyard has six towns, each with its own character and history. Some parts of the island are a bit exclusive, but even those areas that are frequented by the likes of the Kennedys and Clintons are casual and relaxed. Property values range dramatically from one town to the next, but they tend to be lower in Vineyard Haven, where I was staying.

You can’t judge a place by its property values, though. Lower property and accommodation prices don’t reflect on the charm of Vineyard Haven, which has a lively Main Street shopping district,

In the film, Harrison n Ford and Julia Ormond play the parts of Linuss Larrabee and Sabrina Fairchild, who ride cruis-er bicycles through the town. At one point, they y stop to look at an old brick building and Sabrina a comments that “nobody builds with brick any-more.”

I couldn’t resist renting a bicycle and reliving g the dramatic and slightly corny bike scene from m the movie, so I wandered over to Martha’s Bi-cycle Rentals (marthasbikerentals.com) to obtain n a cruiser.

Last summer, a large group of teenagers from an international church camp being held in Central Alberta provided 1,000 hours of labour in clearing and developing a new trail in the park. Each day, 100 different boys between the age of 11 and 13, plus a dozen leaders, helped maintain the trails and build new ones. Over the week, the 670 young boys from Canada and the United States collected more than 250 bags of weeds, built new park benches, painted the gazebos and trimmed brush on the 20 km of trails.

There are spring and fall guided walks. The annual fall walk will be on the afternoon of Sept. 27, 2015. Medicine River Rehabilitation Centre might release a hawk during the event.

The Edgartown Lighthouse is featured in the 1995 movie Sabrina. Although it is nowhere near the location of the house used in the film, the lighthouse was transposed in. morning relaxing on the small sandy beach watching the crew hose off the outside of the James Bond boat.

There is old money in Martha’s Vineyard, but in Vineyard Haven you’ll find more old wooden boats than shiny new ones. For me, that made it a comfortable place to be.

STORY FROM PAGE B1

VINEYARD: Six towns on island “Do you want a basket?” asked the attendant after pulling out a beautiful light blue cruiser bike. Since Sabrina had a basket, there was no question that I needed one, too.

I rode down a quiet street past the bank and back down Spring Street before turning onto Main Street. It took all of 10 minutes to retrace the route through town.

I had the basket, the cruiser bike and a great map, but I was missing one thing: Harrison Ford. I couldn’t help stopping when I spotted the old brick building and imagining him there.

In the movie, the brick building is boarded up and Linus says he will donate it to the city for a halfway house.

At the time of filming, the building was a hardware store. Today it’s an office supply store.

After snapping a few pictures of the brick building, I made my way to the Art Cliff Diner for breakfast. They had warned me at my motel that the diner can busy, but I was fortunate to get a spot right by the window. I ordered the almond-crusted French toast and it was easy to see why that little place is always packed for breakfast.

I made the way back to my motel and spent the last moments of my

Martha’s Vineyard towns and villages

If you go ● There are several ferries that will take people and vehicles from mainland Massachusetts to Martha’s Vineyard (www.vineyardferries.com). ● I stayed at the Vineyard Harbor Motel in Vineyard Haven (www. vineyardharbormotel.com). Standard rooms at this budget property are $139 during slow season and $215 during peak season. Some rooms have kitchens and harbour views. It was clean, comfortable and basic and has its own private beach. You might hear some noise from the harbour at night and the room shades do not completely block the sunlight during the daylight hours. Neither of these issues was a problem for me.

There are six towns on Martha’s Vineyard, but there are three that are most popular with visiting tourists.

Vineyard Haven: Vineyard Haven has a double life. It has two names that are used interchangeably. Tisbury is the name that appears on the town office and the school, but Vineyard Haven is the name on the post office and the public library. It’s one of those quirky little things about the place.

Vineyard Haven is also home to the island’s main ferry terminal, offering year-round service from the mainland.

The other thing to know about Vineyard Haven is that it’s a dry town. You won’t find any bars or alcohol there.

Edgartown: This quaint town was established in 1642 and is the oldest English settlement on Martha’s Vineyard. Architectural controls have maintained the historic beauty of this place where you’ll find white-painted captain’s houses, grand churches and grey shingled homes and businesses.

Restaurants and businesses are a little more upscale in this area of the island and there are plenty of beauti-

tling and has an active nightlife.

ful beaches to enjoy.

The Chappy Ferry connects people and cars to Chappaquiddick Island, which is also part of Edgartown.

There are some very expensive homes on this isolated island and visitors go there for the beaches, cycling, hiking and birding.

The island became internationally recognized in 1969 when the car of Senator Ted Kennedy accidentally drove off Dike Bridge, fatally trapping another passenger inside the vehicle.

Oak Bluffs: Oak Bluffs was once a centre for summer religious retreats and one of the architectural highlights of the town is the Methodist Campground, an area with 330 multicoloured gingerbread cottages that surround an open-air tabernacle.

Most of the cottages are not insulated and therefore are only occupied during the summer months. The Methodist church still owns the land on which the cottages sit, so there are strict rules prohibiting yard work on Sundays. Most people sit out on their covered porches and drink lemonade on Sunday afternoons.

There are many kilometres of public beaches and the town area is bus-

Pratt ready to make impact

BY JOSH ALDRICH ADVOCATE STAFF At six-foot-three, 218 pounds Austin Pratt is not an ordinary 15-year-old.

The man child looks like he could step on the ice tomorrow and fit in on any scoring line in the WHL. At least that’s what Red Deer Rebels owner, general manager and head coach Brent Sutter is hoping. He will be given every opportunity to make an impact as a 16-year-old this fall.

This weekend the Rebels are getting an up close and personal look at the Lakeville, Minn., native with their annual spring prospects camp at the Penhold Regional Multiplex.

“He’s a big, young man,” said Sutter.

“He can handle it physically and he’s a real smart and intelligent player and that’s going to help him this year as a 16-year-old in our league.”

Pratt already is the biggest player on their active roster, but his preparedness for the WHL goes beyond his physical attributes. Sutter has been impressed with his off-ice demeanor and his maturity.

“He’s a very respectful kid. As a young man he speaks very well and he’s smart,” said Sutter. “He’s mature for his age.”

That’s more than just coach speak.

As a ‘veteran’ of the prospects he’s already taking it upon himself to help first year players feel their way through the process of the camp.

“I’m normally one who tries to get the team focused and ready for a game, so it’s a good transition to here,” said Pratt.

He has spent the past two years being groomed in one of North America’s preeminent hockey factories at Shattuck St. Mary’s, which also produced NHL stars like Sidney Crosby, Zach Parise and Jonathan Toews.

Last year with the school’s U-16 team he scored 52 points (20 goals, 32 assists) in 55 games, one season after scoring 73 points (30-43-73) in 65 games with the bantam team. That season lead to his fourth round selection in the WHL bantam draft.

Despite the slight dip in his numbers, he says 2014-15 was a season of on-ice growth, as he improved his already impressive shot and worked on his skating.

“I’m getting stronger, faster, more confident every day,” said Pratt. “Just like any big kid, my skating is the biggest thing, so I’ve been working the most on that.”

Red Deer Rebel prospect Austin Pratt skates Friday during the Rebels prospect Camp at the Penhold Arena.

The improved conditioning already shows up on the scales, having dropped from 225 pounds last year to 218, with an improved muscle mass.

While this will be the furthest away from home he has ever lived — at 1,200 kilometres it’s a daunting hurdle for any teen — he says the hockey culture will be fairly familiar.

“It will be exciting, obviously I’ll miss my home, but the people here are

great, the Rebels organization’s great ... I won’t miss home too much,” said Pratt. “Everyone lives, breathes, eats hockey and that’s what I love.”

Although he grew up with the Minnesota Wild in his backyard, he grew up on Canadian hockey as a Toronto Maple Leafs fan, with his father David Pratt a native of the Big Smoke.

However, that did not factor in his decision to come back to Canada.

“My dad has watched a bunch of major junior hockey, he knew what I was going to get with the WHL and NCAA and he just supported me with whatever choice I made,” said Pratt, adding his dad was actually more of a football player than hockey player.

Buccaneers coach looking for more diversified offence

BY JOSH ALDRICH ADVOCATE STAFF

File photo by JOSH ALDRICH/Advocate staff

Red Deer Buccaneers running back Junior Rivera (2) is tackled by Grande Prairie Drillers Brian Savoia (91), Will Quintal (15) and Chad Wiebe (24) In Alberta Football League action at MEGlobal Athletic Park in Lacombe.

New Central Alberta Buccaneers head coach Devon Hand is like a kid on Christmas morning.

The 2015 Alberta Football League season is set to kick off this weekend with the Bucs in Calgary to take on the defending champion Wolfpack.

Hand spent the previous two seasons on the Bucs’ sideline, assembling one of the league’s top defences and became an easy choice to take over from Duane Brown when he stepped down after last year.

Hand is promising the start of a new, exciting era of Bucs football on Sunday.

“I’m more excited than some of the players,” said Hand. “It’s night and day different, this has been a labour of love, there’s a lot of effort that has gone into it.”

Hand has been busy recruiting from across the country to help fill out and accentuate the Central Alberta based roster.

At the time of his hiring he announced the addition of St. Francis

FOOTBALL Xavier grads defensive back Shane Nolan and defensive end Devon Marshall, but has since been tight lipped about his signings. He will only to say they will be greatly improved across the board.

“I’ve gone full Patriot, full Belichick, I don’t want anyone to know about our new guys,” said Hand. “We’ve improved our depth at receiver, offensive line, linebacker and quarterback position — we’ve improved the roster topto-bottom, no question.”

However, he does have a strong group of returning players that will form the foundation of the team, including AFL rookie of the year and rushing champion Junior Rivera and arguably the league’s top receiver in Matt Merkley.

The goal is for a more diversified offence that puts pressure on opposing defences as opposed to leaning on their own D and hoping not to make a mistake when they have the ball.

Canada has ‘much greater purpose’ than other teams: Herdman

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

WORLD CUP

EDMONTON — Coach John Herdman says a motivated Canada can go deep into the Women’s World Cup. “Are we the favourites for this event? No,” Herdman told a news conference Friday on the eve of the competition. “Can we get on a roll in this tournament with our country behind us? Yes. “This group of women believe they can go all the way and they’ve got a greater purpose. They’ve got a greater purpose than any other team at this event. A much greater purpose. And when you’ve got one of them, it gives you a chance of going places you never

thought you could get to.”

The Canadian women, ranked eighth in the world, kick off the competition Saturday against No. 16 China before what is expected to be a capacity crowd at Commonwealth Stadium.

After China, Canada plays No. 17 New Zealand on Thursday in Edmonton and the 12th-ranked Netherlands on June 15 in Montreal.

Canada is hoping to improve on its poor tournament history, other than in 2004 when it finished fourth. The Canadian women, who were dead last in 2011 under former coach Carolina Morace, have an overall World Cup re-

cord of 4-11-3.

But Canada is coming off a bronze medal performance at the 2012 London Olympics and enter the tournament brimming with confidence under Herdman.

For the workaholic Herdman, the tournament comes after more than three years of meticulous preparation.

“The journey’s prepared us. We’re ready to go,” the English native said.

Herdman, in an eloquent answer, spoke warmly about the women he coaches and what they had done for him.

“Look, the simplicity behind it is they have definitely got the best out of me as a man. And I think I’ve got the best out of them as women ... They’ve

pushed me to new levels and new limits. They’ve grown off the pitch as leaders and when you have bigger and better leaders around you, you have to become a bigger and better leader too.”

Goalie Erin McLeod said of Herdman: “He’s pushed me as a human being every single day ... It’s about being the best people that we can be first and then obviously doing what we need to do on the soccer pitch.”

That includes scoring goals. Canada has been limited to one goal or less in its last 15 matches during which it has gone 8-5-2. The losses came again Tier 1 teams in France, Germany, Japan (twice) and England.

Slow start to season for Razorbacks TEAM STILL FINDING FOOTING AFTER LOSING FIRST TWO GAMES

Pirates 7 Razorbacks 2 The Red Deer Razorbacks have been their own worst enemy so far this Parkland Baseball League season.

With their 7-2 loss to the defending league champion Acme Pirates on Friday at Great Chief Park, the Razorbacks dropped to 0-2 on the season, getting outscored 18-5 in the process.

However, at least for the time being, player coach Darcy Warawa is preaching patience. “Of those 18 runs, I believe only half of them were earned, it’s just early in the season,� said Warawa.

They have been hurting themselves early in games, air mailing throws and booting the ball, digging early holes they have not been able to get out of.

The Hogs are a mix of old and new this summer and are coming off of an appearance in last seasons’ final.

When they finally hit their stride, Warawa says their biggest strength will be their offence, keyed by first baseman Jason Fraser — who hit a seventh inning home run to right field on Friday — and himself. But he adds there are a number of guys who can contribute at the plate like returning players Diego Colorado and Clinton Armitage. “We’re hitting balls, guys are not striking out right now, but we’re hit-

ting balls right at guys,� said Warawa. “Tonight alone we had six hard hit line drive balls, and if that ball goes four feet in either direction then that changes the game right there.�

Their pitching staff has potential to be one of the league’s best, led by returning staff ace, southpaw Travis Bachynski, who started both games for the Razorbacks this season. Added to the mix is a pair of Nova Scotians, lefty Brett McGinnis who pitched on his provincial junior team and the righthanded Adam Hendrie, a veteran of the Prairie Baseball Academy in Lethbridge. The wild card on the mound could be Craig Gans who is making a comeback after several years away from the game. “We’ve got a consistent four guys that are going to throw for us, we’ve got guys that put a lot of movement on the ball ... and we’ve got guys that are capable of throwing three pitches and throw them for strikes with some command,� said Warawa.

He says they have the potential to get back to the league final, but they will find out fairly quickly just what kind of team they have with four games next week. Bringing them up to almost the mid-way point of their 16-game schedule with June 14’s double header in Acme. “I believe we have a stronger team than we had last year, I believe we have a better offensive team than we

Now they have to find their way past the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals without him.

Irving has a fractured left kneecap and will have surgery that could sideline him for three to four

With this background, Pratt plays a style of game that makes any Canadian hockey fan giddy, using his size for more than just eating up space. His hockey heroes and those he patterned his game after come with the names Milan Lucic and Brandon Saad. “He’s strong, he’s a big power forward and that’s how he’s going to have to play,� said Sutter. “He’s got to be a guy that plays that power game. Obviously just being 16, he’s going to get better and better and better as he goes a long and as he grows and gets stronger ... He’s going to be a horse in this league at some point.�

The biggest question about Pratt was answered in April when he signed on with the Rebels.

It is often difficult for WHL teams to predict whether American draft picks will actually come north to play.

Fellow Shattuck St. Mary’s teammate Grant Mismash was taken one round after Pratt by the Rebels in the 2014 WHL bantam draft, 97th overall, but instead has committed to the University of North Dakota.

It is for this reason, these players often slide in the draft and require teams to nurture a solid relationship with these players and their family. “After seeing everything and coming here, I thought this would be the better route,� said Pratt, who also was considering college hockey. “Brent’s a great coach, he told me all the stuff he thinks I can do, so I’m trying my best to live up to that expectation.�

In the case of Pratt, the extra work has paid off to this point for the Rebels, and he could prove to be the steal of his draft class. “We tell all of our young kids this, there’s a process to development, both as players and as individuals, as people. That’s part of maturing,� said Sutter. “(Pratt’s) no different than anyone else in that way, in fact he’s a little bit ahead in certain areas because of his strength and because of the type of player he is. He wouldn’t have slipped to where he did if he was playing in Canada, he would have been a first

round draft pick.�

The prospect camp continues today at 3:45-5:45 p.m. and on Sunday from 9-11 a.m. at the Penhold Regional Multiplex. jaldrich@reddeeradvocate.com

BUCCANEERS: Defence key “Our new offensive co-ordinator Aaron Shepard has brought in a totally unique system that caters towards our strengths and takes advantage of some of the consistencies and trends and we’ll see in AFL defences,� said Hand.

The defence is still where the Bucs will win games with the likes of Dave Henderson, Tylor Johanesson Kerry Lynch, Cody Baird and team captain Markus Fay returning to the fold. “We’ll be running a version of the same defence, that’s my side of the ball,� said Hand. “We’ll have a pressure front where the whole initiative is to get after the quarterback and get him to the ground, and if we do that we should create more opportunities for our offence.�

They open up at Shouldice Park in Calgary against the Wolfpack on Sunday at 2 p.m. However, the Wolfpack will look nothing like the team that won last year’s provincial title after a host of retirements and the bulk of their returning vets jumping to the Calgary Gators in an attempt to form a super team. This includes the legendary brother tandem of quarterback and receiver Darryl and Mike Leason who turned the Wolfpack into a national power.

Other players also jumped to expansion team Airdrie Irish.

Hand, however, is not taking the Wolfpack lightly, expecting a talented, restocked roster, despite their owner Jim Lightfoot keeping his recruiting cards as close to his vest as the Bucs. “I don’t think they are going to be the same as they were last year without Leason and those guys but they’ll have something for us. If I know Jim Lightfoot, he’ll have weapons,� said Hand.

Captain Christine Sinclair, who is entering her fourth World Cup, has seven goals in 12 tournament matches.

Canada will be looking to forwards Melissa Tancredi and Adriana Leon and midfielder Sophie Schmidt, among others, to help lead the way.

Tancredi has yet to score since returning to the team after essentially a two-year hiatus to complete her chiropractor studies. “Look, she’s a big game-player, we all know that about Mel,� Herdman said. “She got her four goals at the Olympics which I think changed the Olympics for us because it took a bit more pressure off Christine, it took the tactical focus off Christine for the opposition teams.

The Cavaliers said an MRI exam Friday at Stanford Sports Medicine Clinic revealed the injury and that surgery will be performed at the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland by Cavaliers head team physician Dr. Richard Parker. “Saddened by the way I had to go out but it doesn’t take away from being (a part) of a special playoff run with my brothers,� Irving wrote in a Twitter posting. “Truly means a lot for all the support and love.

Already without Kevin Love, the Cavaliers are now without their All-Star point guard, who had been playing in pain for most of the post-season and was injured again in the final minutes of Game 1 on Thursday night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As far as how we prepare, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been through this.

There have been some wobbles elsewhere, as well. A scheduled tour of the Ottawa venue was postponed Friday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Although Ottawa Lansdowne Stadium is incredibly well prepared for the FIFA Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s World Cup Canada 2015, the Stadium Preparation Tour will not take place today.

FIFA’s secret deal McDavid, Eichel play up NHL COMBINE

ASSOCIATION PAID $5 MILLION EUROS FOR IRISH SOCCER CHIEF’S SILENCE ON BAD CALL

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DUBLIN — Irish soccer chiefs disclosed documentary evidence Friday of how FIFA paid millions to buy Ireland’s silence on the handball that cost the Irish a chance to reach the 2010 World Cup. The documents, published after the Football Association of Ireland sustained a daylong barrage of international criticism over its decision to take the confidential payment, detail a series of meetings in Switzerland involving FAI and FIFA chiefs, including President Sepp Blatter. These followed Ireland’s 2-1 loss on aggregate to France in November 2009, a result partly achieved by an unpunished Thierry Henry handball that produced France’s playoff-clinching goal.

The self-described “moral compensation” contract, signed Jan. 15, 2010, by senior FAI and FIFA officials in Zurich, guaranteed the FAI immediate delivery of 5 million euros (then $7.13 million) on strict condition Irish officials never revealed existence of the deal. The payment was initially labeled a loan, but the contact included no terms for repayment, and the FAI never did pay it back.

The FAI also published letters showing the full 5 million euros entering the association’s Dublin bank accounts five days later and being quickly deployed to reduce the association’s debts connected to a new national stadium completed in 2010.

The signed contract committed the FAI “to waive any and all claims against FIFA” in exchange for cash, which included a separate $400,000 payment for an unrelated Irish soccer project, a new disclosure in Friday’s documents. The contract specified that the FAI would “irrevocably and unconditionally accept the referee’s decision” and could no longer appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne, Switzerland.

In an extensive section designed to ensure secrecy, the contract specified that FAI officials could not publicize its existence “without any limits in scope or time.”

However, FAI chief executive John Delaney appeared to break that clause by confirming to Irish media last month that FIFA gave his organization an unspecified compensation payment.

rivalry ahead of draft

Delaney then offered more detail in a Thursday interview, and FIFA responded by confirming its payment to the FAI. The FAI on Friday also published a June 13, 2014 letter from FIFA’s deputy secretary general, Markus Kattner, informing the Irish federation it no longer needed to repay any of the purported loan. Kattner cited Ireland’s failure to qualify for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil as justification.

The FAI in a statement said Blatter also offered a face-to-face apology to its negotiators at a Swiss meeting three days before the contract was struck. He had infuriated Irish soccer officials weeks earlier by revealing, to the laughter of FIFA delegates, that Ireland was trying to be entered as the 33rd qualifying team in South Africa.

Friday’s disclosures came hours after Ireland’s national team prepared for a friendly home match Sunday against England. Roy Keane, one of Ireland’s greatest players and now an assistant national coach, said his team had “hardly spoken about” the deal.

“I’m not going into the FIFA stuff,” Keane said outside the training facility.

But veterans of the 2009 squad said they were flabbergasted and annoyed to learn that FAI leaders traded principle for confidential cash.

“Certainly none of the staff knew about it and none of the players knew about it at the time,” said Liam Brady, another former Irish star who served as assistant coach from 2008 to 2010.

He called the murky deal “mind-boggling.”

“It wasn’t a loan. It was hush money to get rid of John Delaney and the FAI,” said Keith Andrews, Ireland’s starting defensive midfielder on the 2009 team. He described his reaction to the deal as a mixture of “disbelief and disgust.”

“The fans, the country, we’ve been able to hold our heads high, with dignity, over the injustice we suffered in Paris that night. Now I think that’s been taken away from us,” Andrews said.

“Now unfortunately we’re going to be tarred with that same brush as FIFA ... Taking the money off them was wrong.”

The payment was first made public last year in an Irish newspaper, but attracted little attention.

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BUFFALO, N.Y. — Connor McDavid and Jack Eichel have been linked as the NHL’s two top draft prospects since September.

It wasn’t until this week at the league’s pre-draft scouting combine in Buffalo when the two finally had a chance to sit down and chat.

“We’ve had a pretty good rivalry,” McDavid said. “We’ve been linked together so long, you start to feel like you know him. And he’s a nice guy.”

The feeling was mutual for Eichel.

“Yeah, he’s a pretty good kid,” he said. “It was nice to finally meet him.”

Just don’t ask who’s better between two centres who possess distinct styles, and are both regarded by NHL scouts as having “once-in-a-generation” ability.

“That’s not up to me to decide,” McDavid said. “I feel I’m the best player in the draft, but maybe you’ll get a different answer from Jack.”

Eichel responded by saying: “I’m pretty confident in my own abilities.”

Officially, The Canadian-born McDavid finished first in the NHL Central Scouting rankings and is highly anticipated to be selected first by the Edmonton Oilers in the draft on June 26. He’s a speedy, play-making 18-yearold who earned Canadian Junior Hockey player of the year honours after scoring 44 goals and 120 points in 47 games with Ontario Hockey League Erie Otters.

Eichel is the second-ranked prospect, and expected to be drafted by the Buffalo Sabres, who have the No. 2 pick. The American-born Eichel has a more hard-hitting style than McDavid and proved to be no slouch playing against older competition at Boston University. He led the nation with 71 points (26 goals, 45 assists) in becoming college hockey’s second freshman to win the Hobey Baker award.

What’s not up for debate is each player’s ability.

“They both are going to be big contributors in the NHL,” Central Scouting director Dan Marr said. “They’re going to make a difference for their team. They’re going to make an impact.

They’re going to put up numbers. And they’re going to be special players.”

The challenge for Marr and his staff

was ranking the two.

“It’s a fine line,” Marr said, before noting McDavid earned the edge because he is regarded to have more potential.

“We feel the best is yet to come,” Marr said. “There’s still room for growth in his game.”

Boston Bruins general manager Don Sweeney called both “foundationaltype players.”

McDavid and Eichel are among 120 prospects attending the weeklong combine, which concludes with physical testing Saturday.

Boston College defenceman Noah Hanifin is ranked third by Central Scouting, followed by McDavid’s teammate Dylan Strome.

Hanifin acknowledged he would be shocked if McDavid and Eichel weren’t drafted first and second.

“All they attention they’ve gotten this year, they deserve,” Hanifin said.

Strome, meanwhile, had the best comment of the day, when asked how opposing teams might defend against McDavid.

“Good luck, I guess,” Strome said.

Players spent the early part of the week holding one-on-one interviews with team executives.

McDavid had only had a few meetings, including interviews with the Oilers and Toronto Maple Leafs, who have the fourth pick.

He acknowledged being surprised in April when the Oilers jumped two spots ahead of Buffalo and Arizona to land the No. 1 pick during the NHL draft lottery.

“It was more shock than anything,” McDavid said, noting he’s prepared to play for whichever team drafts him.

“There’s nothing to accept,” he said.

“If it’s Edmonton, it’s great. If not, it will be great anywhere in the NHL.” Eichel met with five teams, including the Sabres.

“I didn’t do any preparation, to be honest with you,” Eichel said of his approach to the meetings. “I think the most important thing about going into interviews like that is just be yourself, talk from the heart.”

He’s spent part of the week touring the city, and sampled some Buffalo chicken wings.

Eichel has not yet decided whether he’ll turn pro next season or return to Boston University.

Reyes, Bautista bring the bats to life as Jays cruise to win SANCHEZ PITCHES INTO NINTH, TAKEN OUT AFTER A HOME RUN AND TWO SINGLES Toronto 6 Houston 2 TORONTO — Aaron Sanchez was very impressive during his stint as a closer last year.

He’s starting to show the same form in his first season as a starter.

Sanchez pitched into the ninth inning and did not walk a batter as the Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Houston Astros 6-2 on Friday night at Rogers Centre.

The 22-year-old right-hander allowed one earned run and six hits while striking out three. He retired the first nine batters in order and looked dominant over eight innings before giving up a solo homer to Jason Castro in the ninth.

It was his fourth straight quality start and he trimmed his earned-run average to 3.55 from 3.88.

“Now he’s just doing it but he’s having to do it for more innings,” said Blue Jays manager John Gibbons.

“He keeps getting better and better every time he goes out there.”

Jose Bautista and Jose Reyes hit two-run homers to power the Blue Jays to their third straight victory.

Chris Colabello had three hits for his 10th multi-hit game of the season.

Sanchez (5-4) was pulled after giving up backto-back singles in the ninth and left to a standing ovation. Reliever Roberto Osuna struck out the side to help Toronto (26-30) take the opener in the threegame series.

The Blue Jays did most of their damage in a fiverun third inning against Houston starter Roberto Hernandez (2-5). That was more than enough support for Sanchez, who threw 66 of his 103 pitches for strikes.

“Really it was easy to watch,” Gibbons said. “A lot of ground balls, strike after strike.”

Sanchez, who was 2-2 with a 1.09 ERA in 24 relief appearances last season, said his goal was to get some shutdown innings after he was given the big lead.

“I felt like I did a good job of that and the next thing I know I’m in the ninth,” he said.

Houston (34-22) entered play with the best record in the American League and had won its last seven meetings against Toronto.

Kevin Pillar reached on an infield single in the third inning and scored when Reyes hit his first homer of the season. Josh Donaldson followed with a single and came around on Bautista’s rainbow blast that landed in the second deck just inside the leftfield pole.

It was Bautista’s ninth homer of the year. The Blue Jays tacked on another run in the frame when Edwin Encarnacion doubled and scored on a Colabello single.

“This is a dangerous lineup that feasts on hittable pitches,” said Astros manager A.J. Hinch. “They strung together five or six in a row and got balls on the barrel.”

Sanchez gave up an infield single to leadoff man George Springer in the fourth inning but got Jose Altuve to hit into a double play on the next pitch and then got Preston Tucker on a groundout.

In the fifth, Sanchez gave up a one-out single to former Blue Jays outfielder Colby Rasmus before Luis Valbuena hit into a double play. Toronto outhit Houston 9-6.

Hernandez was pulled after giving up a run with two outs in the sixth inning. He allowed nine hits, five earned runs and two walks while striking out one.

Announced attendance was 22,971 and the game took two hours 35 minutes to play.

Notes: It was Castro’s sixth home run of the season. ... Colabello’s 15-game hitting streak is the lon-

gest active streak in the major leagues. ... Toronto right-hander Drew Hutchison (4-1, 5.26 earned-run average) is scheduled to start on Saturday against left-hander Brett Oberholtzer (0-0, 3.24). ... Before the game, Blue Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos said trade talks have picked up of late and he ex-

Matchups essential to Lightning going into Game 2

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TAMPA, Fla. - Memo to the Tampa Bay Lightning in the Stanley Cup final: Don’t ice the puck.

When they did it in Game 1, Chicago Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville put stars Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane on the ice against Tampa Bay’s third defensive pair of Matt Carle and Andrej Sustr. The third time it happened, Toews and Kane had their best shift of the night.

At home to start the Stanley Cup final, Lightning coach Jon Cooper has the luxury of the last line change, putting stud defencemen Victor Hedman and Anton Stralman against Toews and Kane. Keeping that matchup and capitalizing on others offensively is crucial for Tampa Bay in Game 2 Saturday night as it hopes to tie the series.

“It’s tough to get lines against D pairings, and it’s almost impossible to get them away from D pairings at their home,” Quenneville said.

“That’s the only probable time if that’s the matchup, the strong matchup they want, so it’s really tough to avoid.”

After shutting down

Toews and Kane with Hedman, Stralman and forwards Ryan Callahan and Cedric Paquette, the task gets tougher to do it again. Those top players had the puck so little in Game 1 that the Lightning expect adjustments and an even bigger challenge in Game 2.

“They’re going to get their chances,” Callahan said. “You want those guys to defend, not be in your offensive zone.”

So far, so good on that part, even though the Lightning faltered and gave up a third-period lead on a goal through traffic and another off a turnover. Inexperience played into the loss, but Tampa Bay has shown a remarkable ability to come back when trailing one game to none in a series in these playoffs.

Part of that is Cooper’s ability to adjust, specifically like he did against the New York Rangers in the Eastern Conference final.

The defensive matchups look like they don’t have to change. In a perfect world, Tampa Bay gets Alex Killorn,

Paquette, Callahan, Hedman and Stralman out against Brandon Saad, Toews and Kane, neutralizing Chicago’s best players.

But at the other end of the ice, the Lightning would love to get their “Triplets” line of Ondrej Palat, Tyler Johnson and Nikita Kucherov going. Cooper isn’t worried.

“There’s not concern about the Triplets,” he said Thursday. “They’ve proven time and time again they may be kept off the score sheet a game here, a game there, but you’re not going to keep them off for long. Those kids will find a way.”

Toews believes the same about Chicago’s top line, which shined late in the Western Conference final. Offering plenty of respect for the Lightning’s Hedman and Stralman, Toews sees an opportunity to build off the strong third period in Game 1 to start grinding away at them.

“They’re great skating D men: They’re offensive, they’re smart de-

EVERYTHING CHANGES, EXCEPT YOUR NEED FOR STABILITY

GOLF

BRIEFS DUBLIN, Ohio — David Lingmerth took a step toward turning his game around with a 7-under 65 at the Memorial on Friday. It gave the Swede a one-shot lead going into a weekend that includes Tiger Woods.

But just barely. Long after Lingmerth capped off a bogey-free round at Muirfield Village, Woods was 40 yards away from the flag on the 18th green and in dire need of getting up-and-down to save par and avoid missing his first cut at the tournament he has won five times. For his second straight tournament, he holed a key putt to survive.

Woods finished with a 70. He was 11 shots behind Lingmerth, who was at 12-under 132.

Woods had to hang on, making two straight bogeys before his par save on the final hole.

For Jason Dufner, it was a thrill a minute.

Dufner made a 5 on a par 3 and a 3 on a par 5.

And that was before he made a hole-in-one — his fourth eagle of the week — on the par-3 16th hole.

He followed that with a bogey. It was relatively boring after that, and the former PGA champion wound up with a 67 that left him a stroke behind Lingmerth.

CAMBRIDGE, Ontario — Suzann Pettersen shot a 7-under 65 for a share of the second-round lead with Mariajo Uribe in the Manulife LPGA Classic.

Pettersen had seven birdies in a 10-hole stretch at Whistle Bear Golf Club. The 34-yearold Norwegian player won the last of her 14 LPGA Tour titles in 2013.

Uribe, from Colombia, had five birdies in a 66 to match Pettersen at 13-under 131. She won the tour’s unofficial HSBC Brazil Cup in 2011.

Cristie Kerr, tied for the first-round lead with Cheyenne Woods and P.K. Kongkraphan after matching the course record with a 63, was a stroke back after a 69.

She won the Kia Classic in California in March for her 17th LPGA Tour title. Yani Tseng and Brittany Lang topped the group at 11 under. Tseng had a 65, and Lang, the 2012 winner at Grey Silo in Waterloo, shot a 68.

PRINCIPAL CHARITY CLASSIC DES MOINES, Iowa — Billy Andrade and Argentina’s Jose Coceres share the first-round lead at 6-under 66 in the Champions Tour’s Principal Charity Classic.

Andrade had seven birdies and a three-putt bogey on No. 14 at Wakonda Club. The fourtime PGA Tour winner teamed with Joe Duran to win the Legends of Golf in April for his first Champions Tour title.

fensively,” Toews said. “We had some shifts where we had puck possession. ... I think we’ll be ready to jump in Saturday night and create and try and make some of their top players play in their own end.”

In the chess match that this series should become and develop when it shifts to Chicago for Game 3 on Monday, the Blackhawks are well-aware of the Lightning’s top defencemen. Tampa Bay is also conscious of Chicago’s depth beyond Kane and Toews.

“They have a deep lineup, so it doesn’t really matter who they put on the ice,” Hedman said. “You can throw (Marian) Hossa in there, there’s different combinations you can have. We know what to expect from them.”

Expect some Quenneville adjustments, too, like playing Kane with Brad Richards and Kris Versteeg and putting Hossa with Saad and Toews.

The Blackhawks’ abilities to mix and match and get secondary scoring are some of their strengths.

credible positive impact that Aspire can have on local families.”

Over 530 people attended Evening of Decadent Dessert, held at Westerner Park, and guests enjoyed a dinner, dessert buffet and silent auction — along with an exciting live auction featuring incredible, locally made cakes.

“Evening of Decadent Dessert is our largest annual fundraiser,” says Judy Robins Weir, chair of Aspire’s board of directors.

“This year, we raised a net of $125,164 from the event, which is down slightly from last year but still a successful fundraiser for Aspire.”

As part of the festivities of the evening, the draws were also made for the Aspire Children’s

Raffle, another annual fundraising activity. “The raffle raised $25,215, so Aspire raised a total of $150,379 between the two,” says Robins Weir.

“This is important for our operations, as all of the funds support the programs, services and scholarships that we offer.”

There was a wonderful sense of community at the event, and the evening was a success thanks to the support of the community. “We were fortunate to have so many contributors, from the guests to donors, sponsors and volunteers,” says Robins Weir.

“And we couldn’t have done this event without the support of local bakers, who crafted amazing cakes again this year.”

Maryview Elementary students work to control a parachute that almost got away from them as a breeze picked up. Staff, students and some volunteer parents participated in a day-long healthy fun day at the school on Thursday, participating in many healthy outdoor activities, including toss and kicking games, bubble blowing, co-operative games, sidewalk chalk art, and many more.

Students offer vision of wetlands upgrades

BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF Greenhouses, butterfly gardens, fountains, fitness park and an animal care centre may soon be part of the Michael O’Brien Wetlands expansion plans.

That’s provided the 38 Grade 3 students at Father Henri Voisin School in Clearview Ridge convinced City of Red Deer staffers with their pitches on Friday.

Grade 3 teacher Samantha Clark said the young students in two classes worked on projects that would enhance and draw more visitors to the wetlands.

The brainstorming began after Clark and Grade 3 teaching partner Cody Huseby took the classes on a field trip to the wetlands to the south of the elementary school in March.

The students came up a variety of initiatives and narrowed the last down to 13 projects.

BRIEF Parking tight near Arena, visitors asked to plan ahead With the return of summer activities downtown parking is limited and drivers are asked to be respectful of residents in the area and to be mindful of where they park.

Starting this weekend at the Red Deer Market, parking enforcement will increase to deter people from parking in restricted areas.

A city news release says obeying the signs and not parking on private property will help visitors avoid being ticketed or towed.

For drivers requiring disabled parking, there are allocated stalls at the entrance of the market for pass holders.

Market-goers are also encouraged to bike or take public transit. Every Saturday, a supervised bike corral, located in front of the Red Deer Arena, is available for cyclists visiting the market.

Transit also has a dropoff location along 48th Avenue across the street from the site.

This weekend, Red Deerians should be prepared for limited parking downtown and consider alternative transportation methods.

“We have multiple events occurring at the same time, including the Public Market, Children’s Festival and Freeze or Fry Swim Meet and combined with people playing tennis, going to the skate park, visiting the Red Deer Arena and enjoying the Blue Grass Sod

“We want the students to get the authentic-based learning so learning with the environment around them,” said Clark. “And the things we are learning in school applies to the outside world.”

In groups of two and three, the students drew up a budget, borrowed from a bank, worked on plans and constructed the projects. The construction is in line with the Grade 3 curriculum for learning about structures.

All the hard work paid off on Friday when the students got down to business as they pitched their ideas to city staff.

Bird fountains were the brain child of Daniel Miguel, Lucian Pai and Aaron Shino George. Miguel said he learned about helping birds survive if they get hurt.

“If some birds need to drink, they can go into the fountain,” he said. “If the birds got hurt, they can go into the birdhouses.”

Danika Bahadur, Shae Wells and Brooke Carriere came up with the idea Farms Central Spray & Play, parking is definitely at a premium,” said Barb McKee, Recreation Department superintendent.

“We ask that motorists be respectful of residents in the area and to not park on private property or block residential driveway or garage access.”

Theatre in small bites ONE-ACT PLAY FESTIVAL

BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF Eight short plays will be packed into one punchy evening of theatre in CAT’s latest One-Act Play Festival.

Billed as “CAT nips: Theatre in small bites,” the Central Alberta Theatre festival will deliver a sampling of life’s foibles in five-to-10-minute staged installments.

Both skewed and relatable realities will be enacted when the festival of short plays opens on Thursday, June 11, at the Nickle Studio, upstairs at Red Deer’s Memorial Centre.

This year’s lineup includes dramas, a few comedies and two original plays, written by Central Albertans Lightbown and Stuart.

“Eight plays sounds like a lot to watch in one night,” said Maureen Sak,

the festival’s co-organizer. But nightly performances will run no longer than 90 minutes in total.

Spy a star being reborn MELISSA MCCARTHY SHOWS SHE CAN DO MORE THAN JUST PRATFALLS

“

The film is similarly versatile: one part parody, one part thriller, one part lethal satire of movie sexism.

Spy Three stars (out of four) Rated: 14A Melissa McCarthy’s wicked take on the 007 persona in Paul Feig’s subversive Spy is a joy to watch — and also something of a relief.

She commands the screen in a role both comic and dramatic, a welcome change from PETER the single-note HOWELL tedium of most of her assignments since her Oscar-nominated breakout with Bridesmaids.

Just a year ago, with the dismal Tammy reeking of typecasting, it seemed McCarthy had slammed into a brick wall with her down-market disturber schtick.

Could there be no better use of her considerable talent than endless variations of loud and obnoxious?

Partial answer came last fall with St. Vincent, as McCarthy cagily played straight woman to Bill Murray’s title loon.

Spy confirms that her star still rises, and deservedly so.

Reuniting with her Bridesmaids and The Heat director Feig, who also wrote the screenplay, McCarthy gives free rein to every aspect of her personality.

The film is similarly versatile: one part parody, one part thriller, one part lethal satire of movie sexism.

McCarthy is Susan Cooper, a brainy but timid CIA analyst who troubleshoots for brash field agent Bradley Fine, played by a game Jude Law with a knowing wink from the James Bond playbook.

This photo provided by Twentieth Century Fox shows Melissa McCarthy, left, facing off against a knife-wielding adversary, Nargis Fakhri, in a scene from the film Spy. The desk-chained and devoted Cooper watches via hidden satellite cams and whispers danger alerts to Fine via an earpiece, content to let him take all the glory.

Her close friend Nancy (the delightfully deadpan Miranda Hart), drones away nearby on equally important but unsung tasks, in their dingy basement office infested with mice and bats.

A mission to wrest an atomic bomb from a Bulgarian arms dealer’s twitchy palms goes disastrously awry, exposing the CIA’s top agents.

The only thing left to do, much to the chagrin of the agency’s brass (Allison Janney radiates authority) and benched spies (Jason Statham amusingly plays the most resentful one) is to send in the unknown and untested Cooper.

This would ordinarily be as far as the script goes, with McCarthy doing her familiar wisecracks and pratfalls in a story that dissolves into noisy farce.

That side of her is certainly in the film — the trailer emphasizes it — but there’s more to her character this time than confrontations and cuss words.

Turns out she’s Cooper, Susan Cooper. But to prove it, she’s going to have to take on not only ruthless terrorist Rayna Boyanov (Rose Byrne), a femme fatale in every sense of the word, but also the sexist culture of the CIA. Witness the scene where she gets her spy gadgets: where Bond would acquire sleek cars and cool toys, Cooper gets sensible wheels and weapons disguised as embarrassing medical aids.

She’s better than this, even if her

snickering male colleagues aren’t.

Spy’s skewering of macho culture, in which McCarthy is ably assisted by Hart, Byrne and Janney, is the stealth weapon and most satisfying aspect of a film that lacks for only a ruthless editor.

Some gags go on too long, such as Peter Serafinowicz’s bizarre turn as a lecherous Italian agent named Aldo.

The movie also works surprisingly well as a thriller, right down to the 007-style theme music, opening credits and credible global threat.

The laddish antics of Austin Powers, Johnny English and the original Casino Royale seem downright juvenile by comparison.

New epic novel from Red Deer author

Rockabilly, alt-country at Fratters Two Saskatoon roots acts will entertain next week at Fratters Speakeasy in Red Deer.

Modernist rockabilly band The Classy Chassys and alt-country singer Geoff Smith are heading out together on a Western tour that stops in the city on Saturday, June 13.

The Classy Chassys put out a new EP, Rebel Heart.

It has the energetic sound of rock, combined with punk, blues and jazz. The four group members, sporting a throwback look with high hair and black leather, aim to put on an “explosive” live show on stand-up bass, saxophone, drums and guitar.

Smith, frontman of the duo Gunner and Smith, is performing as a solo artist this time out.

His music is described as “traversing the rocky line between post-prairie balladeering and gritcovered rockers.”

A Red Deer author has imagined the lives of the first people from Asia who crossed the land bridge to North America.

The new novel Written on Stone tells their story.

“It’s fiction, based on historic facts,” said author Eelkje VanderMeulen-Smart, who studied fine arts and anthropology at Red Deer College and the University of Alberta.

“I was amazed about how civilization evolved in the New World,” she said. And this interest fuelled her “epic” novel.

Written on Stone, self-published through Friesen Press, “explores the psyche and spirit” of people from Japan, Tibet, Siberia and Mongolia who are forced to leave their homes and travel along the Bering Strait during the last Ice Age. As they travel south across North America, Central and South America, they write their stories on stone, “so the account of their struggle will last throughout time.” The 224-page book, available at

Chapters, Coles and through online retailers, is described as being suspensefully paced, and “alive with a remarkable cast of characters ... a moving tribute to the human spirit.”

VanderMeulen-Smart is a painter, writer and retired nursing assistant. She was born in Holland but moved to Alberta as a child. She has lived in Arizona, Saskatchewan, British Columbia and now resides in this city.

Who’s behind the Disney mask? It’s a secret

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ORLANDO, Fla. — The union representing actors who portray Mickey, Goofy and other characters at Walt Disney World filed a complaint Friday with a national labour board, challenging a policy that it says prevents the performers from revealing which animated figures they portray.

Teamsters Local 385 filed the charge with the National Labor Relations Board, alleging Disney was committing an unfair labour practice. A grievance was filed last week with the company. The two-weekold written policy prevents actors from publicly revealing in social media or traditional media which characters they play, according to the union.

So far, none of the 1,200 character actors at Walt Disney World have faced any disciplinary action, said Donna-Lynne Dalton, recording secretary for the Teamsters local.

“The performers are very concerned because

“They have family and friends that already know this and have pictures of themselves in their performing roles. It’s out there.”

The confidentiality policy had been a subject of negotiations during past contract talks, but it never made it into a contract, union officials said.

“The company doesn’t have the right to control social media postings,” said Mike Stapleton, president of the Teamsters local. “Suddenly the company wants to pretend there aren’t people behind those costumes and the Constitution doesn’t extend to FRIDAYS 5 PM • SATURDAYS 4 PM the theme park.”

A Disney spokeswoman didn’t comment.

TORONTO — Vancouver writer Jane Munro won a $65,000 Griffin Poetry Prize on Thursday for Blue Sonoma, a collection of poems she penned while her late husband was suffering from Alzheimer’s disease.

Munro said she was caring for him as they lived on the southwest coast of Vancouver Island “in relative isolation at the edge of the rainforest and the Pacific.”

Her husband, who died in September 2012, had reached “the point where he couldn’t feed himself, he couldn’t stand. It was not what he wanted to go on living for.”

“As the life closest to me was being erased frame by frame, dementia became a metaphor for me,” she said after accepting the Griffin prize at a gala in Toronto.

“It was sort of like what I saw everywhere and I was forced to wrestle with every layer of myself. As the poems came through that experience, they began to assemble themselves as a complete work.”

Blue Sonoma (Brick Books) is the sixth collection of poems from Munro, a longtime practitioner of Iyengar Yoga who has previously won the Bliss Carman Poetry Award and the Macmillan Prize for Poetry.

Jury members Tim Bowling (Canada), Fanny Howe (U.S.) and Piotr Sommer (Poland) called Blue Sonoma “hauntingly candid explorations of the hard truths of growing old.”

The annual Griffin bash sees two poets — one Canadian and one international — win $65,000 apiece.

This year’s international winner was Michael Longley of Belfast for The Stairwell (Jonathan Cape), which judges called “modest and unassuming, yet bold in its deceptively small meditations.”

Can the gospel fill our manhood void?

BY CAROLYN CUSTIS JAMES SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE The malestrom — the ways in which the fall impacts the male of the human species, causing man to lose himself, his identity and purpose as a man, and above all to lose sight of God’s original vision for his sons — poses one of the most serious historic challenges to the gospel.

Does the gospel have anything better to offer men than a kinder, gentler patriarchy? Is the gospel able to fill the manhood void with an indestructible identity and calling that cover the entire cultural spectrum and the complete lifespan of a man’s life — no matter how long or how short that may be or how his story plays out?

This is not simply an internal church issue. We have ISIS to consider. Men in today’s world are looking for answers.

I’m convinced the malestrom is no match for the gospel of Jesus Christ. I do not say this lightly or as some religious pat answer to the problems I have seen.

If anything, my research has made me as concerned about the plight of men as I have ever been about women and girls.

Nor am I suggesting that the malestrom is easily managed. The malestrom belongs to life in a fallen world. It will be with us wreaking havoc until Jesus comes.

“God’s image bearers rebel, and we are left in the ruins of a fallen world searching for clues to tell us what he had in mind for us.”

What it does mean, and I say this with conviction, is that as Christians we have been empowered by God’s Spirit to engage this battle for men and boys, to dismantle false and destructive manhood definitions, and reclaim radically redemptive ways of being human that God envisioned for his sons in the beginning.

Having said that, two major problems confront us before we even begin: first, that a chapter is missing from the Bible that is most pertinent to our quest, and second, that the men in the Bible best equipped to help us have gone missing too.

The missing chapter comes between creation and the fall. The Bible’s two opening chapters begin with the hopeful expansive vision God is casting for the world he created and loves and where he designates his male and female image bearers together to get the job done.

But before we witness a single moment of unfallen image bearer living or see how male and female align to reflect God’s image and engage his mission in the world — an enemy invades.

God’s image bearers rebel, and we are left in the ruins of a fallen world search-

ing for clues to tell us what he had in mind for us. It’s like trying to assemble a Mercedes from broken, rusted auto parts salvaged from a junkyard when you’ve never seen a Mercedes.

We need that missing chapter.

This omission is not a mistake or a publishing snafu, but an Authorial decision intended to make us dissatisfied and hungry for something more and better than anything we’ve yet seen.

It makes us hungry for Jesus, who is the missing chapter and embodies the kind of image bearer God created all of his sons (and daughters) to become. Jesus didn’t come just to tweak things, but to overthrow the kingdom of this world.

“We gravitate instead to men like Joseph, who rises from slavery to second only to Pharaoh . . .”

We are slow to learn and need more stories to help us catch God’s kingdom vision and even to help us make sense of the example Jesus sets for us.

This is where the missing men come in.

Interwoven in the stories of women in the Bible that I have developed in my previous books are men whose stories are eclipsed by a larger personality who commands the spotlight or men whose stories are diminished, downsized, or distorted because we view them through a western lens.

We gravitate instead to men like Joseph, who rises from slavery to second only to Pharaoh; David, who slays Goliath; Joshua, who leads the march on Jericho; Daniel, who survives lions; Peter, the rough and blustery fisherman; and James and John, the notorious “sons of thunder.”

Kings, conquerors, and untamed men!

These are the kinds of muscular stories we want our sons to hear and the brand of manliness that we want them to embrace.

We shy away from men in the Bible who share the stage with strong, courageous women or who don’t fit the typical hero profile that reinforces traditional patriarchal cultural values. These missing men are crucial, for they are heroically doing battle with the malestrom.

Battered and bruised though they may be, they must be allowed to tell their stories. They picture for us a wiser, radically new, gospel-brand of man — incontrovertible evidence that God is at work in his world, that Jesus has come, a n d that his Spirit is alive and active.

LOCAL EVENTS

June10

“Recapturing God’s global vision for men is the urgent task to which we now turn.”

The newness of God’s kingdom is breaking through, and that newness shows up in his sons, even in Old Testament times. The stories of these missing men are alive with the power and hope of the gospel, and they stand tall on the pages of Scripture, not because they satisfy the world’s fallen cultural definitions of what it means to be a man, but because they reconnect with their calling as God’s true sons.

All of us, men and women, need these missing men if we hope to gain insight into the missing chapter.

I am more convinced than ever of the urgency of expanding the discussion of God’s vision for his daughters to encompass God’s vision for his sons. We must dare to ask twenty-first-century questions of the Bible, no matter how taboo or unsettling they may be and with the expectation that the gospel speaks with fresh hope and purpose into men’s lives today.

Walter Brueggemann’s words remind us that there is always more to learn.

“For the church is not permitted simply to repeat the ‘old truths.’ It must listen for and take a chance that from time to time the normative word is breaking through in new ways.”

This is no mere academic debate and never has been. Current events remind us all that this is a matter of life and death.

The gospel is more than equal to these challenges — not a triumphalist American gospel that relies on prosperity — but a gospel of indestructible identity, hope, and purpose that will preach in the smoking ruins of Iraqi cities, in the slums of Nairobi, on the streets of Ferguson, Missouri, and to the utterly lost men of ISIS. Recapturing God’s global vision for men is the urgent task to which we now turn.

BRIEF Sunday

Russian President Vladimir Putin to visit Pope Francis on June 10 at the Vatican VATICAN CITY — Russian President Vladimir Putin will meet with Pope Francis on June 10 at the Vatican, with conflicts in Syria and Ukraine likely to top the Holy See’s agenda.

Putin last called on Francis on Nov. 25, 2013.

The Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, said Thursday the meeting would take place in the afternoon of June 10; Putin is expected to visit Russia’s pavilion at the Expo world’s fair in Milan, where June 10 has been slated as Russia’s national day.

After nearly a half-century of hostility between the Vatican and the Kremlin during the Cold War, a major breakthrough came just after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 when the Soviet president, Mikhail Gorbachev, met the Polish-born pontiff, John Paul II. After a 2009 visit by then-President Dmitry Medvedev, Russia and the Holy See upgraded their diplomatic relations to full-fledged ties, with ambassadors.

Long-running tensions in Russia between Orthodox and Catholic faithful in Russia prevented Pope Benedict XVI and before him John Paul from achieving their long-sought dreams of a Russian pilgrimage and meeting with the Russian patriarch.

Tellingly, Putin didn’t invite Francis to visit during his 2013 visit — one of the few world leaders who have not extended an invitation to the enormously popular pope during an audience.

Francis has sought to enlist Orthodox leaders in his campaign to condemn attacks on Christians by Islamic militants in the Middle East.

But he has trod lightly with Russia over Ukraine, denouncing the casualties and calling for a ceasefire to hold, but not laying any blame on Moscow.

Pope’s eagerly awaited environment encyclical due on June 18 VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis’ eagerly awaited environment encyclical will be published June 18.

The Vatican took the unusual step Thursday of announcing the release date in advance “to avoid confusion over the diffusion of unconfirmed information.”

No papal document in recent times has elicited as much anticipation and anxiety as Francis’ encyclical. The Vatican has helped fuel interest by mounting an unprecedented roll-out, featuring conferences, speeches and book launches tied to it.

Environmentalists are thrilled the pope is lending his moral authority to the climate change debate ahead of U.N. climate talks this year in Paris. Climate skeptics have voiced alarm that the pope is getting involved.

This week, U.S. Republican presidential hopeful Rick Santorum said he wanted the pope to stop talking climate change and “leave science to the scientists.”

Manufacturing gives jobs a boost JOBS MOVING TOWARDS CENTRAL CANADA FOLLOWING OIL PRICE FREEFALL

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - The hobbled economy received an encouraging jolt last month from a surging labour market, one that bolstered workplaces considered key to the country’s rebound: factories.

The job-growth figures, released Friday by Statistics Canada, provided a cautious dose of optimism that the economy’s trudging forward again after its outright reversal in the first three months of 2015.

The survey, which found a net gain of 58,900 jobs in May, offered the latest clue about the economy’s performance in the second quarter. The report also showed the national unemployment rate remained locked at 6.8 per cent for the fourth-straight month.

Last week, Statistics Canada released real gross domestic product figures that showed the economy shrank at an annualized rate of 0.6 per cent in the first quarter of 2015.

The dismal result, blamed in large part on the oil-price collapse, poor winter weather and a temporary slowdown in the United States, led to a wave of downgraded economic projections on how the rest of the year will play out.

On Friday, experts were quick to highlight the promising ingredients baked into the fresh batch of labour data — all while warning about reading too much into one package of the notoriously volatile monthly job figures.

Even so, Scott Smith, a senior market analyst at Cambridge Global Payments, said jobs data in recent months do suggest brighter days ahead.

“When you smooth out the numbers and look at the longer-term picture, it’s hard to argue that we’re not seeing robust gains in the labour market in Canada,” Smith said.

He also noted there are signs the long-expected “rebalancing” of job and economic growth from the oilpatch to Central Canada appears to be underway.

A closer look at the data shows manufacturing gained 21,500 positions in May, rising for the second consecutive month.

The category of health care and social assistance also saw a considerable increase in work, adding 20,700 positions.

The natural-resources industry, hit hard by the decline in energy prices, shed 2,400 jobs, the report said.

By province, Ontario received the biggest employment boost by adding 43,900 jobs last month, 15,700 of them in manufacturing. The flood of new positions shaved 0.3 percentage points off Ontario’s jobless rate, which slid to 6.5 per cent.

In British Columbia, the economy gained 30,600 positions, with 2,600 of the gigs in manufacturing.

“We’re definitely seeing what I’d call green shoots in terms of a rotation away from a heavy reliance on the energy sector to the manufacturing sector,” Smith said.

Arlene Kish, senior economist for IHS Global Insight, said while the manufacturing number was encouraging, employment in the sector still needs to show more improvement before it can be considered a sharp turnaround.

It’s only up by one per cent compared to a year

ago, Statistics Canada said.

“The recent number was good, but we can’t get too euphoric,” said Kish, who is optimistic about the second quarter. “It’s looking pretty good. You know, anything’s better than a negative print at this point.”

The overall increase in jobs last month more than offset April’s loss of 19,700 positions. Of May’s gains, 56,800 positions came in the private sector, considered a healthier sign for the economy.

Statistics Canada also found the number of fulltime jobs climbed by 30,900 last month, while parttime positions rose by 27,900.

Compared to May 2014, employment was up countrywide by 192,300 net jobs, including a gain of 233,000 full-time positions. Statistics Canada noted there have been employment gains of about 20,500 positions per month since the start of 2015.

“I think we are seeing this rebound that we’ve been anticipating,” said Dawn Desjardins, assistant chief economist at RBC. “We certainly had been concerned about a weak pace of job creation against the backdrop where the economy is actually contracting.”

Desjardins noted how the data shows that even Alberta — hit hardest of any province by the oil slump — still had 38,400 more people working last month compared to May 2014, amounting to an increase of 1.7 per cent.

She said the country’s recovery from the oil-price plunge appears to be following the Bank of Canada’s script, which leads her believe governor Stephen Poloz will likely hold off on moving the trend-setting interest rate next month.

PETER THIEL FELLOWHSIP

Four entrepreneurs get chance to pursue dream

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Four Canadian youth will be putting their formal education on hold and accepting hefty cheques to help kick-start their budding technology-oriented business ventures.

The former students are among the 20 winners of the 2015 Peter Thiel Fellowship, a program that offers $100,000 in funding and two years’ worth of mentorship to young entrepreneurs who drop out of school to take their fledgling businesses to the next level.

The four Canadian winners, who hail from Ontario and Quebec, range in age between 18 and 22 and have all launched companies with a strong emphasis on up-and-coming technology.

Montreal’s Simon Tian has founded a company designing wearable technology to help people perform day-to-day tasks in any environment.

Cathy Tie of Toronto co-founded a startup focused on improving the accuracy of genetic testing.

The contact lenses being developed by Harry Gandhi of Waterloo, Ont., would be able to monitor glucose levels in diabetics. And Liam Horne, of Cambridge, Ont., is a co-founder of a software company dedicated to helping retailers set up shop in the right locations.

Horne said his company, Piinpoint, offers companies a simple piece of software that analyzes census data and other sources of demographic details, traffic patterns and spending habits.

The software then offers recommendations and financial projections as tools to help guide the company’s decisions, he said.

Horne described his Thiel Fellowship win as very humbling, adding the monetary award will confer benefits that extend beyond the bottom line.

“It’s going to give us peace of mind to know that Piinpoint, and myself, can just go about doing what we’re doing,” Horne said in a telephone interview.

“Take risks, do experiments and things like that.

Focus on more important things such as hiring really important people rather than always worrying about having capital.”

Horne, who was studying computer science at the University of Waterloo this past year, said the fellowship feels like a further extension of his formal education rather than a departure from learning.

Oil and natural gas rigs down in U.S.

Production to resume at wildfire threatened oilsands operation CALGARY — Cenovus Energy says it expects to restart production at its Foster Creek oilsands operation by Monday.

The 135,000-barrel-a-day facility, which is jointly owned by ConocoPhillips, has been offline since May 23 because of a large wildfire in the area.

Cenovus Energy says it will take several days to return to full production, but it expects camps to be fully operational at the start of next week.

On June 3, Canadian Natural Resources said production was ramping back up at its Kirby South operation and that it was still preparing to restart production at its 80,000-barrel-a-day Primrose operation.

Alberta’s Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry reports that the 31,000-hectare wildfire is about 60 per cent contained, though the direct threat to oilsands

HOUSTON — Oilfield services company Baker Hughes Inc. says the number of rigs exploring for oil and natural gas in the U.S. declined by seven this week to 868.

Houston-based Baker Hughes said Friday 642 rigs were seeking oil and 222 explored for natural gas.

Four were listed as miscellaneous. A year ago, with oil prices nearly double the current levels, 1,860 rigs were active.

Among major oil- and gas-producing states, Texas lost five rigs and Colorado and New Mexico each declined by two.

Arkansas, North Dakota, Ohio and Pennsylvania dropped one apiece.

Louisiana gained three rigs, West Virginia was up two, and California and Kansas rose by one each.

Alaska, Oklahoma, Utah and Wyoming were unchanged.

The U.S. rig count peaked at 4,530 in 1981 and bottomed at 488 in 1999.

Alberta labour laws do not require bereavement leave Dear Working Wise: Do our labour laws guarantee bereavement leave?

My mother passed away this weekend and I would like to know what the law is. My company gives three days off when an immediate family member passes away, but my wife works on contract. Is she entitled to bereavement leave as well? Signed Somber Son Dear Somber: Please accept my sincere condolences on the passing of your mother.

The Canada Labour Code requires federally regulated industries, like: banks, airlines, railways, telecommunications, media and crown corporations to provide Bereavement Leave.

For more information on federal Bereavement Leave and federally regulated employees, visit www. labour.gc.ca.

Alberta’s Employment Standards do not require employers to provide paid or unpaid bereavement leave.

However, I can understand why you might assume that employers are required to offer bereavement leave since so many employers voluntarily choose to

do so.

Alberta companies choose to offer bereavement leave because of compassion, because other companies offer this benefit, and because grieving employees are more likely to be distracted and unable to concentrate at work.

They may show up, because they are expected to, but they will be less effective and may be at greater risk of injury at work.

employer more than absenteeism.

Like other preventive health and safety programs, an effective bereavement policy is proactive. Offering support to grieving employees is not only compassionate—it can also save time and resources.

Employers can support bereaved employees by acknowledging their grief and establishing an effective bereavement policy.

A tip sheet for managers and supervisors who are interested in establishing a bereavement policy, and supporting their grieving staff, is available on the Alberta Learning Information Service (ALIS) website at http://alis.alberta.ca. The tip sheet is called Employers: Helping Your Employees Cope With Loss.

Grieving In The Workplace: Coping With Loss is an ALIS tip sheet for employees and co-workers. It covers how grief can affect you, how to work through grief, how co-workers can support you, and what not to say to a grieving co-worker.

STORY FROM C9

THIEL: ‘Young people can succeed by thinking for themselves’

MARKETS CLOSE TORONTO - The Toronto Stock market closed lower after a day of choppy trading Friday as strong jobs data in the U.S. left investors anticipating a rate hike from the U.S. Federal Reserve.

The S&P/TSX composite index lost 62.23 points to close at 14,957.16, while the loonie finished the day up 0.42 of a U.S. cent to 80.39 cents US. The Dow Jones industrial average was down 56.12 points at 17,849.46, the Nasdaq index rose 9.34 points to 5,068.46, and the S&P 500 lost 3.01 points to 2,092.83.

The gold sector on the TSX was the biggest decliner, losing 2.3 per cent, while health care advanced the most, climbing by roughly one per cent.

In economic news, May job data both north and south of the border exceeded analyst expectations.

The Canadian economy created 58,900 jobs last month, although the jobless rate remained unchanged at 6.8 per cent as more people began searching for work. The U.S. saw 280,000 new jobs created last month, though the unemployment rate edged higher to 5.5 per cent as

job seekers flooded the market looking for work.

On the commodity markets, the July crude contract was up $1.13 at US$59.13 a barrel and the August gold contract fell $7.10 to US$1,168.10 an ounce.

LOVE YOU FRIDAY, JUNE 5 TO THURSDAY, JUNE 11, 2015

Fellowship founder Peter Thiel, the German-born billionaire who helped co-found PayPal among other tech ventures, appeared to view the program in the same light.

“College can be good for learning about what’s been done before, but it can also discourage young people from doing something new, especially when it leaves them in debt,” Thiel said in a statement announcing this year’s winners.

“Each of the fellows charts a unique course, but together they have proven that young people can succeed by thinking for themselves instead of competing on old career tracks.”

But others urge caution for would-be entrepreneurs, saying programs such as the Thiel Fellowships aren’t ideal for everyone.

Sean Mullin, executive director of Ryerson University’s Brookfield Institute for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, said such programs are best suited to people who are firmly committed to their projects and have an unusual degree of conviction in their future paths.

He said most people favour an educational experience combining both theoretical and practical learning.

“If for some reason down the road your venture does fail, which does happen in this world, you do have education and a degree to fall back onto,” he said.

Kidproof can be beautiful

BY LINDSEY M. ROBERTS SPECIAL TO THE WASHINGTON POST. You live with kids and you wonder: Is it even possible to have a living room free of Lego bricks or walls free of crayon marks? California-based Gabrielle Stanley Blair, who is a mother of six, blogger and author of the new book Design Mom: How to Live with Kids, is here to tell you that, yes, your home can be kidproof.

“There’s definitely this feeling that ‘I have kids, and the house is going to be ugly and functional. . . . And then when the kids go away it will be beautiful,’ “ Blair says. “But it’s not necessary to punish yourself like that.” So, how is it done? By being realistic. Expect that the entryway could become a dumping ground and stock it with hooks and bins for organizing. Teach your kids to love beauty by having them abstractpaint a canvas with a color palette of your choice and frame it for display.

Don’t wait until your kids are gone before you enjoy your house.

As interior designer Carrie Miller says: “A home is meant to be lived in, regardless of whether you have small children or if it’s just two adults. People should not fear stains — of course, you want to guard against them — but I always hope that my clients live in their homes well.”

Some suggestions:

● Blair says that parents who buy white sofas are just setting themselves up for failure. She likes leather, microfiber or — if you must have white — slipcovers. The crisp Metro Slipcover Sofa ($1,399, www.roomandboard.com) comes in white twill and many other shades and fabrics. ● One of Blair’s tricks for keeping the kitchen sparkly clean? Stacks of pretty dish towels. “Buy them in sets of three, or maybe five, or perhaps 10,” she says. “You will need them all.” She recommends the Farmhouse Mix Dish Towels, a set of eight from Sundance ($68, www.sundancecatalog.com). ● Try to get the fabric on your furniture treated to resist stains, says Miller, owner of interior design firm Lapis Ray. Or use a hardy outdoor fabric, as on Crate and Barrel’s Sunbrella Square Outdoor Pillows ($45, www. crateandbarrel.com). “Outdoor fabric doesn’t look or feel like outdoor fabric anymore,” Miller says. ● “Look for pieces that have a little patina to them,” Blair says. “A table made of barn wood, an industrial-looking side table with a weathered finish, a painted piece with edges that are sanded down a bit. These are terrific for families, because if you knock into them or scratch them, it’s all the better.” West Elm’s Emmerson Dining Table, made of reclaimed pine, would hold up well around rowdy kids ($899$1,299, www.westelm.com). ● If a painted dining table gets scratched up by kids banging utensils, then, oh well, it’s just time to repaint, Blair says. The white Hampstead Painted Rectangular Extending Dining Table can seat six to 10 of your favorite tablebanging munchkins and their friends ($1,249, www.potterybarn.com). ● When Blair and her husband were first setting up house, they bought some recycled aluminum chairs for their kitchen table, knowing that they would last well through the toddler years.

Though the chairs have moved to their

The Castered Tufted Storage Ottoman is a crowd-pleaser: It comes in multiple colors and fabrics and it rolls where you need it outdoor seating area, they are still going strong. For a similar find, there’s the metal Foundry Dining Chair ($145, www.sundance.com). ● “I always recommend ottomans instead of coffee tables because there’s nothing for the kids to bump their heads on; they can lay all over them,” Miller says. The Castered Tufted Storage Ottoman is a crowd-pleaser: It comes in multiple colors and fabrics — even Sunbrella — it rolls where you need it, and it has deep storage for stray toys and blankets ($449-$674, www.ballarddesigns.com). ● On her blog, Blair recommends glass dishware sold at Mighty Nest. The Glass Kids Dishware Set by Duralex ($13 per place setting, www.mightynest. com) is much more attractive than plastic and just as durable. She also likes white ceramic. If plates get broken, you can always replace with a different white pattern for a sophisticated, eclectic look. ● You don’t have to sacrifice adult style for kid-friendly accessories. The design of the Medina Laser Cut Outdoor Pillow is inspired by the architecture of Morocco ($59, www.grandinroad.com).

As an outdoor pillow, it can stand up to mildew and the sun, so surely it can stand up to spilled milk and dirty fingers inside. ● Dark-colored quality wool rugs hide all kinds of sins, Blair says. She also likes jute, sisal and, yes, plastic, as you can find in outdoor rugs. The Zig Zag Indoor/Outdoor Rug, made of handhooked, hand-dyed polypropylene, can easily be washed with soap or rinsed with a hose ($19-$599, www.thecompanystore. com).

“Choose real glasses and stemware,” Blair writes in her book. “Just don’t make them expensive.”

While you might be tempted to go allplastic for the kids, real glass like the adults use will most likely help them to rise to the occasion.

Stock your shelves with the Wine Glass Entertaining Set ($25 for 12, www. worldmarket.com).

Aluminum chairs for the dining table last well through the toddler years and can move outdoors for extra seating during the summer

West Elm’s dining table, made of reclaimed pine, would hold up well around rowdy kids.

Living with Bohemian style Living with Bohemian Style is like wearing your heart on your sleeve. All your personal passions are out in the open for everyone to see.

Your living space can be small or large, but it feels especially right in lofts and attic rooms.

It may appear jumbled, but every item has a story to tell, and this is the enchantment.

The underlying philosophy behind BoDEBBIE hemian Style TRAVIS is to gather around you cherished objects that have been collected on travels around the world. So you will discover a mix of styles and cultures that happily keep each other company.

If you love the look, but are more an armchair traveller, hunt down items in vintage shops and bazaars. Pieces seen in this vignette are available at select stores through www.homesense.ca in Canada.

Here are some guidelines for creating this carefree, unconventional style.

It’s no surprise that earthy tones such as terra cottas, wood browns, and greys would be prominent. Whitewashed and aged wood have a wellused, weathered appearance that is

HOUSE TO HOME

This traveller’s paradise is surrounded by an eclectic collection of storied items that make up their own style. prevalent around the world. The dark metals — bronze and gilt — are popular in frames and fixtures. Wrought iron stands alone or doubles up with wood.

The console table shown here has drawers and stands on metal triangles, a captivating shape. The rustic A-frame wall unit is a unique show-

case for anything from crockery to plants and books. Pieces are chosen for their character, and are also easily moved around to suit the homeowner’s changeable moods, and to make room for the next fabulous acquisition.

In contrast to the neutrals, jeweltone colours appear in fabrics and carpets. Again, mix it up. Carpets overlap

freely, and have contrasting materials and patterns. Rough and ready sisal shares space with soft, brightly patterned rugs.

Heirloom Persians, brilliant saris and tapestries have a rich history, and display perfectly hung as art on the walls. A silk footstool next to a burlap or chenille chair is intriguing.

And don’t forget the fringes, found on everything from blankets to upholstered furniture to lampshades. Furniture is comfy but not shabby; fabrics have an aged appearance, not shiny and new. Perhaps the accessories accumulated for this eclectic style are the most telling as they are the easiest to ship home or pack in your suitcase, and you can add as your adventures continue. There’s an underlying Victorian sensibility to some of these items.

A birdcage, a few iron lanterns, pottery and baskets make decorative as well as practical pieces. A peacock or tiger or elephant could show up in fabric patterns or paintings, or on their own as curios. Jewelry can be displayed hanging from lamps and vases.

This casual clutter is all fuel for happy memories. Terrariums are popular once again, and their tiny world offers an interesting set for anything from small plants to rock collections.

I travel a great deal, and love what I discover wherever I am. I find this Bohemian Style most compelling, always imaginative, full of whimsy and special memories, full of the magic of adventure. It may not work for an entire home or apartment, but wouldn’t it be fun to have one room that tells your stories?

When it comes to insulation, “overdoing it” today is often ordinary tomorrow.

That’s been the trend for the last 30 years and it’s not likely to let up.

The question is, when will we learn our lesson?

If you could travel back in time to 1985 and ask the average building professional to comment on the minimum insulation standards we routinely follow today, they’d almost certainly smile and advise you not to waste your money: “The building code doesn’t require that much insulation in the attic!”

“You’re crazy to waste your money putting insulation on the outside of walls studs!”

“Nobody ever insulates basements from floor to ceiling! It’s a waste!”

STEVE “Sound insulation in walls?

MAXWELL That’s unnecessary!”

But looking back from the perspective of 2015, we can see how popular opinion — even professional opinion — can be wrong.

Insulation levels that would have seemed crazyhigh 30 years ago are actually building code minimums today.

Even homes built to meet code just five years ago would not be approved in some provinces now.

The fact is, home insulation and energy performance are moving targets, and yet too few people aim far enough ahead.

But really, shouldn’t your new home or renovation stay current longer than your latest smartphone?

Of course the answer is yes, but when it comes to construction and renovations, our eyes are easily seduced. It happens all the time.

Fancy countertops, upgraded floors, a hot tub or a finished basement are all wonderful things to have in your life, but insulation can’t honestly be looked at through the same lens.

Generous levels of insulation are so much more valuable because no other construction feature acts as an investment the way insulation does.

Building to future-proof your home is all about construction that means spending less money on energy and putting more money in your pocket year after year.

Quite a bit more, in some cases.

Insulation upgrades can save enough to pay for a tropical vacation each winter for as long as you live.

Ten years’ worth of energy savings could buy you a new car.

Upgrading from poor insulation and a leaky building envelope can even offer the same financial benefit as having a $100,000 GIC bearing interest on your behalf.

That’s why insulation upgrades need to be looked at like the goose that lays the golden egg.

Take care of the goose and she will fund an unending stream of goodies, some of which even go beyond finances.

A well-insulated house is a more comfortable house, even at the same room temperature as an inefficient one.

That’s because effective insulation and air sealing reduces cold spots and drafts.

Effective insulation also means your home will hold heat longer in the event of a power failure during winter.

Sound insulation makes your home seem bigger too, because you feel more private when sounds from the rest of the house never make it to your ears.

Got renovations in mind? Summer is an excellent time to think about insulation upgrades because so few other people are doing it a this time of the year.

Insulation contractors are less busy.

All that remains is to figure out a game plan.

Generally speaking, the most effective and simplest energy upgrades happen in the attic.

It’s easy to blow more insulation up there, so this is often the best place to start.

Basement walls are another big energy waster, and that’s why basement insulation offers a big payoff.

Energy costs will trend upwards over time as entire new regions of the world demand their share of the middle-class lifestyle we Canadians have enjoyed for more than 50 years.

You can count on it.

That’s why overdoing it today is what makes the most sense for tomorrow.

Maximizing your space In a “double-duty” room, a table with removable leaves are especially appropriate.

One wall could be fitted with book shelving to bring down the visual height of the space and could be used to display books, art objects and family photos.

With a large window at that end of the rectangle, I would advise keeping the window treatments simple, perhaps with panels of fitted sheers in a shade to match the dining chair seats.

Balancing that end of the space is table that can be used to display candlesticks and glass pieces, or can be used as a buffet.

When it is not needed for dining, the table can double as a work surface.

Lit by a chandelier, this is yet another element that can be used to visually bring down the area’s height. The best dining room is one that is a natural extension of the rest of the home and is one of the easiest rooms to design and decorate because it has a specific function.

CREATIVE SPACE

seat with a leafy print in black grey and white on a cream background.

I currently have a square coffee table, end table and sofa table that all match and black vertical blinds on both windows, but I am very open to something different and am anxious to buy all new furniture.

Answer: One of the problems with a room that has two ceiling heights, or in some cases, floor heights, is that they will always appear as two distinct spaces.

Trying to literally combine the two areas as one is futile and ultimately would only give you a space with unusable proportions.

Instead of eliminating the formal dining function, I think you should maximize the use of this long, rectangular space by combining two ideas.

By pairing a comfortable seating area/library with the dining function, and decorating the entire space as one, the room will begin to take on a new, unified look.

My plan incorporates a 1.2-metre (approximately 48-inch) round dining table and chairs in the centre of the “high” area.

2917F6

Question: I am not sure I want to use the designated dining room, because I’m not sure if I want formal dining room furniture and because I have a large dining area off the kitchen.

I have considered extending the living room into that space, but the ceiling over the living room is two-storey, and over the designated dining room area is one-storey.

Although I would like some provision for regular dining, this space will mostly be used DAVID for entertaining.

FERGUSON As such, there should be the flexibility for food service when I have larger gatherings, mostly on special occasions.

I do not have any furniture in the dining area right now.

In the living room, I have a sofa and matching love

Canadian home furnishings retailers fighting for millennials

This plan maximizes the use of this long, rectangular space by pairing a comfortable seating area/library with dining. Visually reducing the height is done by fitting the higher area with shelving and installing a chandelier that hangs over the table.

SPACE: Serve two functions Because this “dining room” will serve two functions, it will be important to select comfortable seating that can double as occasional seating when you have larger gatherings at your table.

You should allow at least 60 cm (24 inches) for each place setting.

And you should allow at least that amount of space behind each chair when someone is seated in it.

Be sure that the arms of the chairs are low enough to slide beneath the table without bumping into it, making the table look cramped.

Because this will be an occasional

dining area, you will need to select appropriate sidepieces.

If you like to serve buffet style, you may have accessories you would like to store or display.

And you may also need storage space for your china and silverware.

The area currently designated as the dining area now makes a cosy area for conversational seating in what is actually the larger of the two areas described.

MONTREAL — Canadian home furnishing and decor retailers facing tough economic challenges are beefing up their e-commerce offerings to appeal to tech-savvy shoppers like millennial Tania Caldareri.

In her early 30s, Caldareri is like many her age -- she shops online, or browses sites before choosing which stores to visit and where to spend her money. And in a cautionary note to retailers, she won’t waste her time with retailers that don’t have a robust Internet offering.

“For sure online is definitely important ... it’s a key focus,” she said while browsing Bouclair Home, the Montreal-based chain that’s one of her go-to sites.

Like the women’s fashion sector, Canadian home furnishing companies

are facing intensified competition from large foreign brands, including Pottery Barn, Pier 1 Imports, Bed, Bath and Beyond, TJX-owned HomeSense, Costco and Walmart.

Each is trying with varying success to adapt by having a strong network of stores while building web sales. Few are willing to discuss their strategies publicly, including Bouclair.

While TJX said it sees e-commerce working for all its brands over the long-term, said a spokeswoman for the company that’s been in Canada for 25 years, the U.S. chain currently doesn’t offer online shopping in Canada.

Retail analyst Jean Rickli of the J.C. Williams Group said many Canadian companies are struggling to adapt to shoppers who demand an online presence.

“It’s a little bit of a disarray at this point because everybody is adjusting,” he said.

SENTES Victoria 1933 - 2015 Victoria Bertha ‘Vicky’ Sentes (Sebastian) passed away peacefully at the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre on Friday, May 29, 2015 at the age of 82 years. Vicky was born on March 13, 1933 at Quinton, Saskatchewan; and moved in 1968 with her husband, Ernest and children to Killam, Alberta; then Vegreville, before finally settling in Red Deer. Vicky loved to sew, knit and crochet. She was kind and generous to all those around her.

Vicky served many during her years working banquets at the Capri Centre and the Red Deer Lodge.

She was a proud CWL member.

Vicky will be lovingly remembered by her sons, Alfred (Anne Marie), Don (Laurel) and Gerry (Erin), her daughter, Theresa, and her grandchildren, Justine (Matt), Raelle (Ross), Logan, Ryder, Luke and Emily. She is also survived by her sister, Martha (Nick); and her brothers, Rudy (Stella), John (Dorothy) and Anton (Joan) and sister-in-law, Leona; as well as numerous other relatives and friends. Vicky was predeceased by her parents, Louis and Gizella Sentes and a brother, Carl.

The family would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to all the Doctors, Nurses and Staff at the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre for the wonderful care given to Vicky.

Honoring Vicky’s wishes, no Memorial Service will be held. Condolences may be sent or viewed at www.parklandfuneralhome.com Arrangements in care of Rhian Solecki, Funeral Director at PARKLAND FUNERAL HOME AND CREMATORIUM 6287 - 67 A Street (Taylor Drive), Red Deer.

MINGORA, Pakistan — The Pakistani police and the country’s public prosecutor said Friday that eight out of 10 militants charged with involvement in the 2012 attack on teenage activist and later Nobel laureate Malala Yousafzai were actually acquitted in April — and not sentenced to life in prison as reported at the time.

The stunning announcement, which first came from Pakistan’s deputy police chief, Azad Khan, offered no explanation as to why authorities had remained silent for so many weeks or why they had failed to correct the facts earlier.

A RARE SIGHT

Texas doctors do world’s first skullscalp transplant to help cancer patient

Photo by D MURRAY MACKAY/ Freelance

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A seldom seen 13-lined ground squirrel stands by the rails near Ponoka. Also known as the striped gopher, leopard ground squirrel, squinney, and as the leopard-spermophile, they can be found in many grasslands and prairies across North America. The 13-lined ground squirrel is strictly diurnal and is especially active on warm days. A solitary or only somewhat colonial hibernator, it often occurs in aggregations in suitable habitats.

Texas doctors say they have done the world’s first partial skull and scalp transplant to help a man with a large head wound from cancer treatment.

MD Anderson Cancer Center and Houston Methodist Hospital doctors announced Thursday that they did the operation on May 22 at Houston Methodist.

The recipient — Jim Boysen, a 55-year-old software developer from Austin, Texas — expects to leave the hospital with a new kidney and pancreas along with the scalp and skull grafts. He said he was stunned at how well doctors matched him to a donor with similar skin and coloring.

“It’s kind of shocking, really, how good they got it.

I will have way more hair than when I was 21,” Boysen joked in an interview with The Associated Press.

Last year, doctors in the Netherlands said they replaced most of a woman’s skull with a 3-D printed plastic one. The Texas operation is thought to be the first skull-scalp transplant from a human donor, as opposed to an artificial implant or bone graft.

Boysen had a kidney-pancreas transplant in 1992 to treat diabetes he has had since age 5 and has been on drugs to prevent organ rejection. The immune suppression drugs raise the risk of cancer, and he developed a rare type — leiomyosarcoma (lee-oh-myoh-sar-KOHM-ah). It can affect many types of smooth muscles but in his case, it was the ones under the scalp that make your hair stand on end when something gives you the creeps.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Are you in a domestic rut?

Retrograde Mercury helps shake things up on the home front as you clean, tidy, re-arrange, re-decorate or tweak the feng shui. A change is as good as a holiday.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): With Venus now visiting your sign — until July 18 — it’s time to flirt up a storm and call in a few old favours. When you’re on firing on all cylinders, it’s hard for others to resist your Cat charisma!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t worry yourself into a lather being super practical and disciplined today Virgo. Work can temporarily take a back seat, as you leave plenty of time for family, friends, food and fun.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): If you are attached, it’s time to work hard on keeping the relationship in tip-top condition.

Single Librans — you could find lasting love via an online dating site or social media connections.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): With Venus in your career zone — until July 18 — socializing with colleagues will help improve workplace relations. If you’re looking for employment, put the word out amongst your friends.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Archers thrive on adrenalin and today, you’re even more adventurous than usual. So it’s a terrific time to try something you’ve never done before — you’ll find it’s addictive!

Sunday, June 7 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DATE: Liam Neeson, 63; Bill Hader, 37; Karl Urban, 43 THOUGHT OF THE DAY: Make sure you stimulate your mind in novel new ways today.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY: You are funny and entertaining to be around. Strive to be more patient with others though, and give loved ones the space to make their own mistakes.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The Moon is stirring up your selfish side. Impulsive behaviour could land you in hot water though so think twice before you do anything controversial, especially if it affects loved ones.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Bulls can be incredibly fixed in their opinions and attitudes, which can put others off-side.

As today progresses, you’ll find a flexible and innovative approach brings the best results.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Boredom is a big no-no for today. You’re feeling restless and need to keep your mind stimulated, entertained and amused. Expect some revealing discussions between you and family members.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): There will be plenty of opportunities for fascinating conversations with others, so make the most of interesting connections that come your way. But don’t jump to conclusions, especially at home.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The Aquarian Moon stimulates your rebellious streak, and activates your adventurous side.

So find something stimulating and exciting to do, otherwise you’ll just stir up trouble.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): It’s a good day to review financial matters and get up-to-date with routine paperwork, but resist the urge to make an impulse purchase. Exercising in the fresh air will recharge your energy levels.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You and your credit card are a dangerous mix today Libra, as you are inclined to buy things impulsively. Have the good sense to say yes to saving and no spontaneous spending sprees.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Are you looking at current difficulties from a very fixed position? Have you dug yourself into a hole? Listen to the alternative views of others they will help you see problems from a fresh perspective.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Keep your gift of the gab under control and think before you speak. Consider the needs of others in your overall plans. Relations with relatives may be unpredictable, so tread carefully.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Conscientious Capricorns - don’t be afraid of making mistakes and being less than 100% perfect. Aim to get the balance right between your professional responsibilities and family needs.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Expect some ups and downs in relationships today, as you juggle to get the balance right between your desires and the needs of others. Be honest with loved ones about how you really feel.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The Moon’s visiting your soul sector so it’s time for some quiet contemplation, where you can reflect on your life and where you’re going. Expect the unexpected from a loved one.
