BEAT THE HEAT

ROOKIE MLAS LEARN THE ROPES

BY MARY-ANN BARR ADVOCATE STAFF Not very long ago, they were a church minister, political party worker and union activist — three people in separate worlds. All that changed on May 5 when they were elected to become Central Alberta MLAs. Red Deer South NDP MLA Barb Miller, LacombePonoka MLA Ron Orr, and Olds-Didsbury-Three Hills MLA Nathan Cooper, the latter two with Wildrose, spoke with the Advocate about these early days on the job.

They form part of the largest ever group of firsttime MLAs in the Alberta Barb Miller legislature, a sea change as Rachel Notley’s NDP buried the Progressive Conservatives. The PCs were dealt an end to their record 44 years in continuous power on May 5.

The NDP soared from four seats to 53, and so most of them are without any experience as an MLA. Overall, there are 70 first-time MLAs in the 87-seat legislature, including party leaders Brian Jean of the Wildrose and Greg Clark from the Alberta Party.

Six of the seven MLAs in Central Alberta are firsttimers. They also include Red Deer North NDP MLA Kim Schreiner, and Wildrose MLAs Don MacIntyre, Innisfail-Sylvan Lake, and Jason Nixon, RimbeyRocky Mountain House-Sundre. Rick Strankman, Wildrose MLA for Drumheller-Stettler, is in his second term.

Politics aside, what’s it like to be a rookie MLA? Miller, 56, through her job at Safeway, was a union executive member, and contract bargainer.

She has taken a four-year leave of absence from her job, and has stepped down as president of the Red Deer and District Labour Council now that she is an MLA. Miller lives with her husband, Doug Thompson.

“Now they’re calling him Mr. Miller a lot,” she chuckles. A daughter and granddaughter live with them full time, and her grandson lives with them part time.

Since being elected, Miller has been busy. “You name it, we’re learning it.”

She’s put 3,000 km on her vehicle travelling back and forth to Edmonton. When she has time, she will find a place to rent in Edmonton, so her husband, who is legally blind, can be with her when the legislature is sitting.

MLAs were offered a mock parliament recently.

That’s when the mystery of the ringing bells was solved, Miller said. Bells ring a 10 minute-warning to MLAs that they need to be seated.

Miller has been taking orientation classes, learning things like how to run an office budget. She has been given a new government computer tablet for work. “My grandson is going to be with us this weekend. He can help me.”

She agrees that her life has changed. “You’re always on.”

She was waiting in the cue at the women’s washroom at Bower Place Shopping Centre when this occurred: “‘You’re Barb Miller! You’re my MLA, can I hug you?’ So there’s no boundaries anymore.”

In the coming days, Miller has a meeting with Red Deer Mayor Tara Veer, and she will be touring the local native friendship centre and Red Deer Museum’s current display Walking With Our Sisters, with Red Deer North MLA Schreiner and the new minister of Aboriginal Relations.

Miller and other NDP MLAs will be assigned to committees after they meet individually with the premier.

As for Orr, he was a minister for Clive Baptist Church for the past 13 years before being elected. He spent a lot of last week in training as well.

The Speaker walked them through different procedures in the legislature, such as how to introduce motions.

“I definitely will be referring to the order books and things like that.”

As well, as part of being an MLA, Orr, 60, took training to be a notary public and commissioner of oaths.

He sees his new job as a lot like the old one — being in a helping and communication profession. He has now resigned his minister job.

Dry spring raises concerns for local farmers

BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF As the unusually dry spring drags on concerns are rising about a forage shortage come fall.

“Pastures and hayland are just not doing much,” said Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development crop specialist Harry Brook.

Dry conditions mess with the growth patterns of forage plants leaving them smaller and less productive.

“That’s going to be a real concern for most producers. (Cattle) pasture on grass, but the grasses aren’t growing.

“In fact, a lot of pastures look like crispy critters.

They are brown and crunchy. There’s not a lot of food nutrition there.

“That’s probably the biggest concern at the moment.”

Most of the other crops are doing OK, but not great, he said. The next few weeks will be important for cereal crops like wheat, barley and oats, which establish their yield potential relatively early.

The critical four- to six-week growth period has

‘THERE HAVE BEEN ISOLATED SHOWERS, WHICH ISN’T GENERALLY GOING TO HELP THE AREA. IT JUST HELPS INDIVIDUALS IF THEY HAPPEN TO BE PARKED UNDER THE CLOUD.’ —HARRY BROOK ALBERTA AGRICULTURE AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT

just begun “so the need for moisture is rapidly approaching.”

Working in farmers’ favour is that the weather has not been overly hot, so the amount of moisture lost has been limited.

While there has been rain in Central Alberta over the last few days it’s been “extremely spotty,” he said.

“There have been isolated showers, which isn’t generally going to help the area. It just helps individuals if they happen to be parked under the cloud.”

Earning school credits for firefighter training

BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF A Penhold high school student was among 18 firefighters sharpening their skills at Red Deer’s training facility on Saturday.

Nicole Thomson is one of three high school students from the town to enroll in Penhold Fire Department’s cadet program.

Penhold Fire Chief Jim Pendergast believes they are the only volunteer department in Alberta with the program, which allows teens to train as a firefighter and earn five credits towards their high school diploma.

Cadets undertake the training but do not respond to calls. They can help out at the station after calls by cleaning and putting away equipment among other tasks and when they turn 18 they can join the department as a volunteer.

Thomson said she was inspired to join by two high school friends who were already involved.

“It’s really fun and it’s a great opportunity to learn about the fire service and train with everybody,” said the 17-year-old.

While most volunteer firefighters have regular

PENHOLD FIRE DEPARTMENT jobs — many of them in oilpatch fire safety jobs — Thomson has to balance high school and homework with her training.

“It’s kind of hard, but I keep up with it,” she said.

All of the regular volunteers have been very supportive and she is looking forward to joining their ranks when she’s finished high school. She also plans to get her emergency medical responder training before deciding on a career, possibly as a fulltime firefighter.

Pendergast said training is a huge part of the job for volunteers. It takes 12 to 14 courses of 40 hours each to become a certified Level 2 firefighter.

Those being run through their paces on Saturday were working on their Level 1 certification, which involves about 280 hours of training in all. They began in February and the weekend tested practical skills such as fighting structure and vehicle fires, rescue and ventilation, and getting out of smokefilled buildings while disoriented.

Okanagan water group hounds B.C. for preventative action on invasive species

MLA: Workaholic “They told us we do need to try to take a day off now and then or we’ll burn ourselves out and not be efficient,” but Orr describes himself as a “workaholic” and he’s comfortable with his new job even though it’s demanding.

He’s already been to a number of graduations, a ribbon cutting, and met with chambers of commerce, some municipal councils and school boards.

He said he his wife Donna-Marie are empty-nesters, and his wife enjoys the social side. “She likes being in the parade,” he laughs.

He was appointed to look after Culture and Tourism in the Wildrose shadow cabinet.

Cooper, 35, has a bit of an inside track. He worked as Wildrose caucus chief of staff and director of legislative affairs before the election. He was also a member of Carstairs town council and he used to work in the office of the former MLA. He and his wife Tanya have three young children.

Cooper, now Wildrose’s house leader and shadowing property rights issues, is helping his colleagues navigate their way.

“Parliamentary procedure is a critically important portion of the legislative process and one that bores most people to death. Unfortunately, or fortunately, for me, I find it quite interesting and engaging ... hopefully some of my passion will rub off on others as well.”

The Coopers home school their children, primarily so they can do things together as a family. They have rented a place in Edmonton, which allows his family to stay with him “when everyone can make it work.”

It worked well last week to have the children there, and they didn’t miss any school, Cooper said. barr@reddeeradvocate.com

CROPS: Some reports of pests Besides the weather issues, there have been some reports of pests such as flea beetles, which damage canola crops. Pea leaf weevils have also shown up, a pest that plagues pea plants.

Summing up, Brook said, “Everybody needs rain.

But there is nothing showing moisture stress. The only things showing moisture stress would be the pasture and hayland.”

“But it does indicate that we night have potential for a feed shortage next winter because a lot of producers rely on that grass and hay to feed their cattle over the winter.

SATURDAY/SUNDAY 6/49: 8, 12, 22, 35, 38, 44, bonus: 27

PROGRAM: Better off than many departments Penhold is better off than many departments with 35 volunteers, including eight women, available.

It’s a huge time investment. Volunteers are expected to have the same training as regular firefighters.

“The commitment is a very big commitment because the fire doesn’t know if you’re full-time or volunteer. So you have to be trained exactly the same as a full-time firefighter,” said Pendergast.

That dedication comes with the payoff that they are helping those in need in their communities.

“It’s very rewarding and the comradeship is awesome. They become really close as a group.”

In Penhold, which is growing quickly, the number of calls has been rising just as rapidly. Last year, more than 160 calls were handled by the department, which responds to medical calls as well as fires and accidents within the town.

18 firefighters worked on sharpening their skills with training in Red Deer on Saturday. vice, Penhold volunteers can act as medical first responders. Minimum training is basic first aid, but most have emergency medical responder training and are further certified as emergency medical technicians.

Jessy Rochette, a 28-year-old mechanic, has been a Penhold firefighter for about 18 months.

He had friends on the department and decided to join.

“It’s pretty rewarding. You get to learn and a lot of days you get to help others,” he said.

The calls aren’t always easy but as a group they talk through incidents afterwards, which helps to deal with issues that arise.

Charity Tyrer, 25, joined after getting her emergency medical responder training.

“I was really interested in the medical side and emergency response in general,” said Tyrer, who works as a safety supervisor with an oilfield services company.

“It ended up being something super awesome.

I can use my medical skills and firefighting skills both,” said Tyrer, who has been a Penhold firefighter for six months.

The training is intensive, involving a couple of nights a week and many weekends.

“But it’s fun,” she said. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

“It’s only a potential at the moment.”

In a couple of weeks, a much clearer picture of this year’s crop prospects will be available, he said.

Dave Hoar, whose family farms and raises cows east of Innisfail, said their grain crops are doing all right.

“They’ve got adequate moisture to get started, but of course they need some rain.

“The hay crops and pastures — certainly in this area — are starting to look pretty tough and we need some rain right away.

“We won’t get good yields. We won’t get bumper yields by any means. Even if we get rain tonight they’ve been damaged.”

But if a good rain falls into the next week or two “it’s amazing to see what might happen,” he said.

Should the current conditions turn into a feed shortage that could cause problems for producers who have been building up their beef herds to take advantage of good pricing.

In the County of Stettler, where the Nixon family farm, conditions are similar.

“We could sure use the rain, of course,” said Wayne Nixon, the county’s reeve, who is semi-retired by still helps his sons farm.

“The crops that are up are OK,” he said, adding wheat and barley are looking good.

Canola is further behind and some farmers are facing flea beetle issues and are spraying, especially south and east of Donalda.

“That sort of compounds things (for canola growers),” he said.

Nixon expects feed will become an issue this fall if conditions persist.

But as every farmer knows “ a good rain will change everything.” pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

Patricia Howell waits for a rather lethargic butterfly to take flight during a butterfly release in memory of her grandfather, Charles Roger Howell. Roughly 200 people took part in the butterfly release organized by the Red Deer Hospice Society to honour loved ones who have passed away.

An organization responsible for water quality in British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley says the provincial government should foot the bill if invasive mussels get a toehold in the region’s watershed.

The Okanagan Basin Water Board criticized the B.C. government of falling short in its response to the threat posed by quagga and zebra mussels.

The invasive species, each about the size of a dime, first showed up in the Great Lakes in the 1980s and are now established as far west in Canada as lake Winnipeg.

Besides destroying native ecosystems and ruining beaches with their sharp shells, mussels also plug up in-water equipment such as dams and pipes.

Repairing the damage is costly - as much as $91 million a year in Ontario, read estimates from that province’s government. A similar study done for the Okanagan Basin Water Board, which is funded primarily by local governments, pegs the cost of dealing with an invasion at about $40 million annually. B.C. announced in March it would commit $1.3 million over two years to train and equip three roving inspection teams, which began operating in late May. By contrast, the Alberta government has 10 roadside inspection stations, plus four roving teams, and as of July will also have specially trained mussel-sniffing dogs on the job.

FEDERATION OF CANADIAN MUNICIPALITIES

Mulcair promises cities an extra cent from gas tax

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — NDP Leader Tom Mulcair is promising Canada’s cities an extra penny from the gas tax.

Mulcair told the Federation of Canadian Municipalities convention in Edmonton Saturday that an NDP government would provide an extra $1.5 billion each year for roads, bridges and other infrastructure through the existing gas tax by the end of its first term.

He also promised an NDP transit plan would see $1.3 billion invested each year over 20 years, and said there will be incentives for the construction 10,000 affordable homes.

Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau also promised more money when he spoke at the convention on Friday.

But Mulcair said successive Liberal and Conservative governments have made empty promises and failed to make a dent in what he called “Canada’s infrastructure deficit.”

“The fact is, the gas tax transfer is one of the best tools available to help cities with their long-term needs,” Mulcair told the FCM conference on Saturday.

“That’s why (former NDP leader) Jack Layton pushed so hard for the gas tax transfer when he was FCM president. And that’s why an NDP government will actually get it done.”

Trudeau told the conference his plan focused on affordable housing, transit and infrastructure, better technology, and helping cities adapt to extreme weather catastrophes caused by global warming.

Finance Minister Joe Oliver reacted to Trudeau’s pledges with questions about how he planned to pay for them.

Mulcair didn’t explain exactly where the extra money for transit would come from, but noted that the former Liberal minority government in 2005 earmarked $4.5 billion for corporate tax cuts. He said the NDP at the time proposed spending it on housing, transit and post-secondary education.

“That’s us. That’s the NDP. You know us. Those are our priorities,” Mulcair said.

Mulcair also announced on Saturday that an NDP government would change income tax rules to allow people who are already investing in rental housing to have an investment incentive that would allow them to take out their investment without being penalized by a capital gains tax, provided they are going to being investing in new and more affordable rental housing. He said he’s already promised the NDP will sustain commitments to social housing agreements that are set to expire. New Democrat MP Matthew Kellway, who represents a Toronto riding, said after Mulcair’s speech that the promises are affordable

Do we have will to change?

Underwhelmed by Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s noncommittal response to the remedial prescriptions of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission?

Consider this: when Jean Chrétien was handed a similarly devastating royal commission report, it took him a year to respond with a formal apology for the mistreatment of Canada’s Aboriginal Peoples.

It was another seven years before the ruling Liberals put together a comprehensive action plan.

Set up in the dying days of Brian Mulroney’s tenure, the CHANTAL royal commission headed by HÉBERT George Erasmus and René Dussault spent five years on the report it handed the Chrétien government in 1996.

At 4,000 pages, it set a royal commission record as the most voluminous of its kind.

There were suggestions this week that the Truth and Reconciliation Commission — with 94 recommendations — has taken on more than anyone could chew. But Erasmus and Dussault had 400 recommendations.

As a measure of progress, the lesser number of prescriptions of this week’s commission report is a red herring.

The two commissions came at the issue from different angles and there were 20 years between them, but their core findings are depressingly similar.

Did I mention that an inspiring ceremony and more than a few solemn commitments marked the politically well-attended publication of the ErasmusDussault report?

To look at this week’s headlines and the fresh start they allude to is to take a trip back in time.

The fiscal climate was not auspicious for the 20-year plan the Erasmus-Dussault commission put forward in 1996. The federal budget was still awash in red ink. The report came a year after the Quebec referendum, at a time when the Chrétien government had its hands full with the unity file.

It was almost another decade before the federal government under Paul Martin teamed up with the provinces and the aboriginal leadership to come up with a comprehensive response.

By that time, Canada had raked in budget surpluses for a number of years. Among other things, the ruling Liberals delivered tax cuts for all, a new child benefit for families, a major reinvestment in health care and seed money for a national child care initiative before they turned their attention to the aboriginal file and the 2005 negotiation of the Kelowna Accord.

At that point, they were on their last legs in power. Martin’s minority government took the Kelowna Accord to its opposition grave a few months later.

All comparisons have limitations but the repeat false starts on the aboriginal front — which also include at least two failed constitutional attempts — stand in sharp contrast with the energy marshalled on other Canadian game-changing policies.

Take Canada’s transition to linguistic duality.

INSIGHT

Alarmed by the rise of Quebec nationalism, prime minister Lester B. Pearson set up the royal commission on bilingualism and biculturalism in 1963.

In an interim report published two years later, it drew a less than flattering portrait of the country’s linguistic landscape and the second-class status of the French language and those who spoke it in Quebec and elsewhere in Canada.

By the time of its official report in 1969, Parliament was already moving forward with the Official Languages Act. Ontario had set out to expand its French-language school system. The first French immersion schools were about to open.

Or take, on another front, the social policy revolution that was the introduction of a national medicare system in the 1960s. It took about a decade for Canada to implement it in every province.

As comprehensive as the recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission may be,

is anyone really arguing that their implementation would require more heavy lifting than that involved in putting French on a more equal footing with English within Canada’s institutions and education systems?

Their price tag pales in comparison with the startup cost of a coast-to-coast-to-coast of a universal health-care system.

This is a federation that has largely managed to talk its way out of serious unity challenges and come up with an intercultural model that, while not perfect, works better than most.

But at the same time, inertia has increasingly become the default response of governments to both emerging and enduring challenges.

And that begs one question: when did Canada lose the political will to change its ways?

Chantal Hébert is a syndicated Toronto Star national affairs writer.

We must stop neglecting our oceans June 8 is World Oceans Day. In Canada, it’s a time to celebrate the rich marine life in three great oceans off the longest coastline of any nation — trillions of plankton, billions of fish, millions of seabirds, thousands of whales and myriad other creatures great and small.

Yet, we have little to celebrate when it comes to looking after this natural legacy.

Although the federal government has committed to protect 10 per cent of our oceans by 2020, it has so far protected just one per cent.

Canada passed the Oceans Act 18 years ago, with a promise to safeguard our oceans and coastal ecosystems. It took another eight years to prioriDAVID tize five large ocean manageSUZUKI ment areas: the Beaufort Sea, the Gulf of St. Lawrence, the North Pacific Coast, the Eastern Scotian Shelf and Placentia Bay/Grand Banks. The process has languished and we’re now 10 years behind schedule and contending with escalating demands for ocean uses, impacts from climate change and emerging issues such as ocean acidification and plastics pollution.

Marine planning, conservation and protection have never been more important. Energy development, shipping, fishing, conservation and ecotourism are bumping up against each other with no clear direction. This lack of co-ordination is like allowing a city to grow without zoning or planning, with schools built next to highways and industrial areas, residential neighbourhoods developed with no green spaces and first responders unable to get to those in need.

In the absence of federal leadership on marine planning and conservation, other levels of government have stepped in to take the lead — just as they have with climate change commitments.

On B.C.’s Pacific North Coast, marine planning

SCIENCE

CENTRAL ALBERTA’S DAILY NEWSPAPER Published at 2950 Bremner Avenue, Red Deer, Alberta, T4R 1M9

by The Red Deer Advocate Ltd. Canadian Publications Agreement #336602 Member of the Audit Bureau of Circulation Mary Kemmis Publisher John Stewart Managing editor Richard Smalley Advertising director

has moved ahead without the federal government, which dropped out of the planning process in 2011.

Even without national representation, the results are encouraging. Eighteen coastal First Nations and the province of B.C. have come up with their own plans for coastal ecosystems.

Communities in this region have been defined by their relationship to the marine environment.

With competing claims for ocean use and proposals to dramatically increase shipping traffic for oil and gas exports to Asia, these marine plans chart a course through challenging waters. Good public consultation and planning can help avoid expensive and disruptive conflicts that arise with so many interests competing for marine resources. These plans also provide meaningful engagement for industry and government with First Nations, a requirement highlighted in the Tsilhqot’in First Nations Supreme Court decision last June.

B.C.’s coastal communities are leading the way in our country’s ocean planning. I’m happy to honour my relationship with 12 of those communities by embarking on a tour in June to talk about the many issues coastal communities are facing, including climate change.

We can see its effects along the coast: shellfish die-offs, low snow packs affecting salmon runs, rising sea levels and altered growing seasons. These communities depend on healthy oceans for their cultural, social and economic needs and are searching for solutions.

Mulcair urges Harper to seek papal apology

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Prime Minister Stephen Harper is being urged to take advantage of an audience with Pope Francis this week to seek a formal apology for the role the Roman Catholic Church played in Canada’s residential school disgrace.

NDP Leader Tom Mulcair says the timing of Harper’s visit to the Vatican is fortuitous, coming just one week after the Truth and Reconciliation Commission called on the pope to travel to Canada to issue an apology.

Mulcair says Harper should ask Pope Francis if he’d be willing to do so.

Harper is scheduled to meet the pope on Thursday, as he wraps up a whirlwind trip to Ukraine, Germany for the G-7 summit, Poland and Rome.

Church officials in Canada have in the past apologized for the abuse suffered by thousands of aboriginal children in church-run residential schools, as have the United, Anglican and Presbyterian churches.

But Justice Murray Sinclair, who headed the just-concluded Truth and Reconciliation Commission, says the Pope is the “spiritual and moral leader” of the church and residential school survivors are disappointed that he has not yet made a “clear and emphatic public apology” in Canada.

In an interview Sunday with CTV’s Question Period, Mulcair noted that Pope Francis’ predecessor, Benedict, formally apologized for the abuse of children in church-run schools in Ireland.

“With all the evidence that’s now on the table, the Vatican should issue a formal apology for the Catholic Church’s role in the residential schools,” Mulcair said.

“While the prime minister is with the pope, he should simply ask him if he’s willing to issue that sort of an apology. That’s something constructive that’s being asked for that we could do.”

Aboriginal Affairs Minister Bernard Valcourt’s office said Sunday that the minister has written to the Vatican — as well as to provinces, territories and the Federation of Canadian Municipalities — to bring to their attention the commission’s report and 94 recommendations.

Mulcair said it’s unrealistic to promise to implement all of the recommendations, as Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau has done.

An NDP government would “sit down with First Nations; we’ll prioritize, we’ll get to the subjects that they consider the most important and we’ll do it in (the) order that they consider the most important,” he said.

Students to build greenhouse in Nunavut to produce cheaper food

Top Three Rod Oszust, General Sales Manager, and the entire team at Southside Dodge would like to congratulate these top three performers for the month of May.

Their continued dedication and commitment to customer satisfaction makes this accomplishment possible.

200 km/h winds and 250 centimetres of snow.

In early August, Nieto will head up to Nunavut for five weeks while Canning and three other students will join her two weeks later to build the greenhouse along with members of the community.

The dome’s parts are scheduled to arrive by ship on Aug. 15. It will take about a week to put together, Nieto said.

“The beauty is it’s like Ikea furniture and comes with instructions and parts that you put together,” said Nieto, 20.

The greenhouse will become part of the curriculum of Tusarvik School, where students will work in it as part of a course, and the local Catholic priest will watch over the greenhouse year-round.

The students have grand plans. If their calculations hold true, food will be 50 per cent cheaper.

And they say the operation, which is a non-profit, will break even after the first year. If that’s the case, they said, they will look to build greenhouses in four nearby communities.

“We essentially want to be the healthy McDonald’s of the north,” Canning said.

“We want to have a greenhouse in every single community in Nunavut to reduce the cost of food. If we can’t reduce the cost of logistical and transport costs, then let’s go ahead and do it locally.”

TORONTO — A group of university students will head to Nunavut this summer to build a greenhouse to produce cheaper food for one remote community.

Ryerson University students Stefany Nieto and Ben Canning met two years ago and wanted to tackle an issue affecting Canadians. They are part of Enactus, an international organization that connects students, professors and business experts with the goal of using entrepreneurial action to raise living standards.

They pondered projects that included providing skills to inmates and producing baby warmers for northern families.

And then they came across food scarcity in the North.

Food is hard to come by in Nunavut, especially produce, which arrives via boat or plane. And it’s egregiously expensive. Starvation is therefore a real threat in places such as Repulse Bay, at the Arctic Circle in central Nunavut.

“That’s the reality they have to face every day,” said Canning, 19. “And Canada is supposedly a developed country.

The situation is just baffling.”

So they decided to take action, emulating similar programs in Alaska and Sweden. They have called their project “Growing North.”

Last summer, the students flew to Repulse Bay -- which will revert to its traditional Inuktitut name, Naujaat, on July 2 -- to do further research.

They said they spoke with 10 per

cent of the population. The community loved their idea, and has since donated land for the greenhouse.

Mayor Solomon Malliki is excited about the project.

“This should help. The cost of food is a major problem,” he said, adding he spent $13 for four apples just last week. “It would be special if we could eat fresh strawberries and blueberries.”

The students also asked residents what foods they’d like to grow.

The answers were typical: potatoes, onions, peppers, cucumbers and tomatoes.

But there were also requests for “crazy stuff like mangoes,” Canning said. “Obviously we can’t grow a mango tree on bedrock or in a greenhouse.”

The plan, instead, is to focus on less exotic fruits, vegetables and herbs, which will be grown with hydroponic technology that uses nutrient-rich water rather than soil.

With the community on board, the students then had to raise money.

The business management students said they managed to raise more than $150,000 through donations from Ryerson, Brookfield Institute and several others, along with a few online funding campaigns.

They are in the process of buying a greenhouse from Growing Spaces, which looks like an igloo made of plastic panels. Technically it’s called a geodesic dome, a modular sphere made with triangular polycarbonate panels.

The Colorado-based Growing Spaces says their domes are perfect for harsh climates because they can withstand

“I got to fly in a few of them, as a matter of fact,� she says.

Turner earned the nickname “Frankie� because the anglophones couldn’t pronounce her maiden name, Francoeur.

In December 1943, she got her first overseas posting, with No. 6 Group Bomber Command, in Linton-on-Ouse in Yorkshire. “I was excited,� she says. “I really was. It was something I had been hoping for.�

Turner spent nearly two years there, doing telecommunication on teletype.

She’d receive information that she had to decipher and transmit to air crews before operations.

With about 30 bombers at the base, and seven crew members on each, there was no shortage of work. Turner had to send lists with each man’s serial number, name, age and rank to headquarters in London.

They were never older than 25, she says.

When the bombers came back, she would send a casualty list.

She never got used to that.

When Turner was sent to London for a month for an advanced teletype course, the city was bombed every night.

She remembers leaving the theatre near Piccadilly Circus one evening with a friend as bombs rained down.

People were running around in the chaos, and some of them were hit.

When she came back to base, she learned the London hotel where she was billeted was bombed and some of the women she knew were killed.

Her time in England wasn’t all grim.

She met her husband there in 1944.

He was from Winnipeg and working as a directions finder to bring bombers back from operations.

They were bombed on their wedding night in London, and their bedroom window was shattered.

They spent the rest of the night in the hotel basement, drinking tea. “It was quite exciting. Not exactly what I had planned for my wedding night,� she says with a laugh.

She returned to Canada with her husband on May 12, 1945. They had five children.

He passed away in 1983 of cancer, and she moved from the couple’s home in California to Kelowna, where her sister lived.

, s ry ire 5 ur p 1 H r ex , 20 e 31 off uly J

When Eugenie Turner decided in 1942 that she was going to join the Air Force, she first told her older brother, who was in the navy. “I didn’t even say, ’What do you think?’ I just said, ’I’m going to do it,�’ said the 92-year-old Kelowna, B.C., resident, who was in Whitehorse for the Royal Canadian Air Force Airwomen’s Reunion on the weekend.

Her Air Force ambition as a 19-yearold was supposed to be a secret.

But her brother told their parents, who were dead set against the idea of their daughter joining the war.

She’d never left her home in Lachine, Que. The same day, Turner’s mother marched to the recruiting office in Montreal and told an officer that Turner was not allowed to enlist.

The following week, the teen went to the office and lied. “I said, ’It’s all right now, I talked to my parents and I can go,�’ she says with a laugh and a hint of a French accent.

The morning Turner was scheduled to leave for basic training, she got up early, packed her belongings and headed downstairs to the train station.

Her mother intercepted her. “You’re leaving?� she asked. “I said, ’Yes, Mom, I’m sorry. It’s something I have to do.’ She said, ’I know. I’ll fix it with your dad.�’ Turner says she felt compelled to join and participate on behalf of her country. “I was quite upset that I wasn’t a boy because I wanted to be a pilot so bad.�

About 140 former airwomen attended the lunches, dinners and presentations on the weekend. Many of them are in their 70s now.

Sitting in a Whitehorse hotel room on Friday, Turner is decked out in her navy RCAF Association jacket, grey skirt and tie, with three silver medals pinned on her chest, right over her heart. She clutches a cane.

She is the only Second World War veteran attending this year’s event.

The reunion has been held every other year since 1990, alternating among locations in eastern and western Canada.

This year’s theme is Last Post, honouring the airwomen who’ve died over the years. “I wish there were more of us, but at my age, there’s not too many left,�

Turner says.

After leaving home in 1942, she completed her training at RCAF Station Rockcliffe, near Ottawa, then spent 11 months in Gander Bay, N.L., as a teletype operator.

The posting gave her an up-close look at the aircraft heading overseas as they stopped in Gander Bay to refuel.

Living up to the legacy FIRST ROUND DRAFT CHOICE JACOB HERAUF IS HOPING HE CAN FOLLOW IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF OTHER GREAT REBELS DEFENCEMEN

BY JOSH ALDRICH ADVOCATE STAFF PENHOLD — Living up to a program’s legacy is never easy for a 15-year-old.

When that legacy is producing defencemen selected in the first round of the NHL draft, it’s even more daunting.

That list of blue-liners includes the likes of Dion Phaneuf, Mathew Dumba and most recently Haydn Fleury, taken seventh overall in 2014 by the Carolina Hurricanes.

Red Deer Rebels first round selection from the 2015 WHL bantam draft Jacob Herauf, is taking the challenge on by the horns.

“When (assistant general manager/ director of player personnel) Shaun (Sutter) drafted me, he compared me to a Mathew Dumba and it was an honour,” said Herauf on Saturday at the Rebels annual prospects camp at Penhold Regional Multiplex. “I knew all of the guys that had played here that developed and had gone on to play pro hockey, and that’s what I want to do and I hope I can develop as a player like that.”

The comparison to the Minnesota Wild’s blue-line stud is not far off.

Though Herauf is currently only five-foot-10 and 170 pounds, his dad is six-foot-three and his 17-year-old brother is six-foot-four. With the width of his shoulders, there is definitely going to be some growing in his future.

Most importantly he is a terrific skater with good offensive skills but defensive-first instincts.

“I see myself as a two-way defenceman that can jump into the play and contribute on the offensive side, but before I do anything past the red-line ... I’ve got to make sure the pucks out of

Red Deer Rebel prospect Jacob Herauf skates Friday during the Rebels prospect Camp at the Penhold Arena. my end, I don’t want to be on for a goal (against).”

Owner, general manager and head coach Brent Sutter liked what he saw out of Herauf at the camp.

“He skates, he moves the puck well, he’s heady, and he’s got bite to his game,” said Sutter. “He’s a player that loves the physicality part of it, too.”

Size will likely remain an issue until he actually does grow into his family’s shoes.

Though Herauf was mainly playing against 15 and 16 year-olds, he did meet the broad side of six-foot-three, 218-pound Austin Pratt several times on Saturday. But he always bounced right back up, often joining in the rush back the other way.

Getting bigger is at the top of his pri-

ority list over the next 12 months. He has been training in Sherwood park with Kevin Douglas and 20 other young hockey players as he prepares for this next season’s tryouts with the Sherwood Park Kings of the Alberta Midget AAA Hockey League.

“He pushes us to the max we can go,” said Herauf. “I feel if I keep training the way I am I can develop as a player and get a lot bigger and stronger.”

The group he’s training with includes Vancouver Giants 2014 second round pick, defenceman Dylon Plouffe and a teammate of Herauf’s. Instead of looking up to NHLer’s Herauf just looks to Plouffe.

“He’s a great guy, he’s great on and off the ice and he’s great with the kids

too, he helps out a lot in the community,” said Herauf.

Last year with the Sherwood Park Flyers bantam AAA team, he scored 23 points (six goals, 17 assists) in 33 games. In one call-up game with the Sherwood Park Squires minor midget team, he picked up three assists.

It did not take long for Herauf to start preparing for his hockey future after the Rebels took him 16th overall.

“That whole day I was thrilled and couldn’t stop thinking about it,” he said.

“But the next day I woke up with a new attitude and I knew that it was a new day and I needed to forget about it and get to work.”

Blackhawks hoping to get more production out of Kane, Toews

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Cavaliers 95 Warriors 93 OAKLAND, Calif. — The final buzzer sounded, and LeBron James wasn’t done.

As fans filed out of the quieting arena, James grabbed the ball and spiked it with all his might. He flexed his arms and pounded his chest, letting out a roar that echoed from California to Cleveland.

James turned in a tripledouble to remember, Matthew Dellavedova made the goahead free throws in overtime, and the Cavaliers overcame a fourth-quarter collapse to outlast the Golden State Warriors 95-93 on Sunday night to even the NBA Finals at a game apiece.

James finished with 39 points, 16 rebounds and 11 assists in 50 minutes, carrying Cleveland’s depleted roster to victory on the NBA’s toughest home floor. The Warriors had been 47-3 at ear-piercing Oracle Arena.

“I tried to give it all to my teammates. And they do a great job of giving it back to me. Total team effort,” said James, who shot 11 of 34 from the floor and seemed to wear down as the game dragged on.

“To be back in the same position we were in three days ago and to come back and even the series is big time.”

It was the second straight overtime game, and one the Cavs never should’ve let happen.

Stephen Curry had a horrific shooting performance but converted the tying layup for the Warriors late in regulation. The MVP also put Golden State in front 93-92 on free throws with 29.5 seconds left in overtime.

Then, Draymond Green met James at the rim to block his left-handed layup, but the Cavs retained possession. After James Jones missed a 3-pointer, Dellavedova grabbed the rebound and was fouled.

Dellavedova made both free throws to put Cleveland up with 10.1 seconds to play.

The Cavaliers won 95-93 in overtime. got the rebound and hit one of two free throws with 4.4 seconds left.

“He was huge for us,” James said about Dellavedova. “We knew we could count on him because we’ve been in this situation before. He gave us everything that he had and more.”

After James made the free throw, Curry, without a timeout, raced up court and tried to pass ahead to Klay Thompson. But Iman Shumpert batted the ball away to seal the Cavs’ win.

Game 3 is Tuesday night in Cleveland.

It was a pivotal point for the Cavs, who won their first finals game in franchise history.

They were swept by the Spurs

in their only other appearance in 2007, when James was just growing into the planet’s best player.

Cleveland was staring at a major deficit again. Teams with a 2-0 lead have gone on to win 28 of 31 series.

Now that’s one thing the Cavs won’t have to overcome.

James is still left trying to carry Cleveland to its first championship in 51 years after Kyrie Irving fractured his left kneecap in Game 1. Irving had surgery in Cleveland on Saturday to join sidelined starters Kevin Love and Anderson Varejao, both of whom had already been lost for the season with injuries.

He got a little help this time.

STANLEY CUP FINAL

CHICAGO — Now that the Tampa Bay Lightning have gotten production out of their “Triplets” line, the Chicago Blackhawks would love to get stars Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane going in this Stanley Cup final.

Through two games, Toews and Kane have basically been a non-factor, shut down by defencemen Victor Hedman and Anton Stralman and forwards Cedric Paquette and Ryan Callahan. Toews has one assist to show for the series, while Kane has zero points and in Game 2 failed to register a shot on goal for the first time in the post-season since 2009.

Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said he doesn’t care which line steps up, but the spotlight is on Toews and Kane to produce beginning in Game 3 Monday night at United Center.

“That’s one of my jobs here is to try to produce offence,” Kane said Sunday. “At the same time I think you’ve got to stay positive, stay patient, try not to get too ahead of yourself and start thinking offence all the time.”

The Blackhawks and Lightning were thinking offence plenty in a seven-goal Game 2 with the kind of rapid pace players hope sticks for the rest of the series. Combine goaltender Corey Crawford’s inconsistency and Tampa Bay’s uncertain goaltending situation with the star power and it’s fair to expect more goals.

Tyler Johnson and Nikita Kucherov of Tampa Bay’s “Triplets” line each scored Saturday night in a 4-3 victory that tied the series at a game apiece. Meanwhile, Kane has been conspicuously quiet.

Quenneville would love Kane to score but isn’t dissatisfied with his play so far.

“I think he’s been a threat,” Quenneville said. “He was down with the two-on-one with (Brandon Saad) that looked like almost a breakaway, some other things that were materi-

alizing that were dangerous.”

Taking up the Lightning’s defensive energy is part of the value of Toews and Kane, Quenneville said — and he’s right. Hedman, Stralman, Paquette and Callahan have been tasked with stopping them and were so effective that the Blackhawks separated their star forwards in the third period.

“They’re tough players to play against,” Lightning defenceman Braydon Coburn said. “That doesn’t change whether they’re together or whether they’re apart.”

Still, expect the separation to continue in Game 3, with Saad, Toews and Marian Hossa together and then Kane with Brad Richards and, perhaps, Bryan Bickell, who Quenneville said “could play” after missing the past two.

“Splitting those two up gives you a little bit more freedom as far as whether it’s room or something for them to be concerned with,” Quenneville said. “I think a little bit more balance to our offence is why we usually keep them apart.”

Going home, the Blackhawks should be able to get Toews away from the Lightning’s top defensive pairing and shutdown line, but getting Kane going could be just as important. Kane went 99 straight playoff games with at least one shot on goal before Saturday.

Kane isn’t happy about that, and Quenneville wants him to have the puck on his stick more. But the 26-year-old insists he won’t be thinking shotfirst every shift.

“I just go out and try to make the right play and worry about the results from there,” he said.

Tampa Bay coach Jon Cooper may have to adjust without the last line change, but he isn’t worried about having Johnson, Valtteri Filppula or Brian Boyle out there against Toews.

Blue Jays rally in ninth to finish off sweep of Astros

The victory completed a three-game sweep for Toronto (28-30) and extended the Blue Jays’ season-high winning streak to five games.

“This is baseball, man,” Reyes said.

“In baseball, a lot of crazy stuff happens. It worked out our way today.”

Bautista hit two solo homers and Canadian Russell Martin added a tworun shot in Toronto’s third walkoff win of the season. Colabello also extended his hitting streak to a career-high 17 games.

“He’s got a hitting streak on the line and he clutched up there,” said Toronto manager John Gibbons.

It was the Astros’ first loss of the

season when leading after the eighth inning (29-1). Liam Hendriks (1-0) worked two scoreless innings for his first career win as a reliever while Gregerson (2-1) blew his second save of the year.

Houston (34-24) appeared primed to salvage the series finale after scoring four runs in the seventh inning.

Instead, the Astros’ losing skid grew to four games.

“To have this one taken away from us is painful,” said manager A.J. Hinch.

“It’s something that we expected to win. We’ll just have to pack our bags, get out of Toronto and come back bet-

American Pharoah heads home as horse racing’s newest king LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Police escorts guided American Pharoah and his entourage back home to Churchill Downs Sunday, hours after his stunningly smooth run into Triple Crown history.

Now, his victory lap begins.

At the headquarters of American horse racing, Churchill Downs’ famous twin spires are displaying Zayat Stables’ turquoise and gold colours all week to celebrate the first Triple Crown in 37 years. The Kentucky Derby museum quickly updated a display to reflect the historic achievement, and American Pharoah’s name was added in gold letters in the paddock with 11 previous champions.

Next Saturday, American Pharoah will take his public parade lap at the track before the Stephen Foster Handicap.

The horse left Belmont and flew back home to a crowd that cheered as he walked toward trainer Bob Baffert’s Barn 33. He seemed to drink the attention in as he strolled out of the van and walked around the barn before media and an adoring gathering of camera-clicking fans. His return was shown over

the jumbo screen overlooking the storied track.

By then, Churchill Downs spokesman John Asher believes that American Pharoah’s achievement will have set in with the public and he hopes they will help the horse celebrate.

“I think (people) are excited now.

People get enchanted by a special horse, and there’s no question this horse is special.”

Assistant trainer Jimmy Barnes said the plane ride back was pretty calm for the horse. American Pharoah will be walked for the next few days, per his normal postrace training schedule.

“It was a pretty easy flight,” Barnes added.

Baffert’s barn was recently updated with a plaque reflecting his prized colt’s Kentucky Derby win here last month that sparked expectations of ending a generations-long Triple Crown drought. American Pharoah delivered victories of seven and a 5 ½ lengths in the Preakness and Belmont respectively, igniting a huge sense of relief after decades of disappointment.

After so many years of waiting, plans are still coming together for how Kentucky might ultimately celebrate its new racing king. There

was a buzz nonetheless around the Derby museum Sunday, and a huge banner congratulating American Pharoah hung just to the left of the museum door and entrance to the track.

This could be the biggest opportunity for the museum since it opened its doors in 1985.

“We have a lot of things in the works,” museum spokesman Gavin LaPaille said.

“This is very exciting for us. We didn’t have a Triple Crown winner when we opened, so we figured there would be interest and we hope to be a part of that.”

Video of his race was shown all around the museum. On Tuesday and Wednesday, large cards will be available for fans to sign before being given to the horse’s team.

“It was exciting,” said Wally Yocum of Louisville, an eight-month resident who visited the museum with his wife Marilyn and family visiting from New Jersey.

“We saw the banner and said, ’this is a good photo (opportunity).

There will definitely be a purchase at the gift shop that wouldn’t have been made before today.”

Sutter thought highly of the entire 2015 draft class that also included Eli Zummack (2nd round), Chase Lowry (3rd), Brendan Budy (4th), Jacob Thomson (6th), Spencer McHardy (8th), Brandon Cutler (9th) and Jake Mulder (10th).

“It’s a really good group of kids, there’s a lot of skill here, they’re all good skaters, there’s greasiness with some of them,” said Sutter. “I’ve been very pleased with this camp and with this group.”

The Rebels are gearing up for hosting the MasterCard Memorial Cup next year, and while that likely means some trades take place involving prospects, Sutter says he is not looking at this camp with those intentions. He is looking at these players as Rebels first and only as Rebels.

“Our focus with all of these young kids, hopefully they can all push to play here in Red Deer,” said Sutter. “We’re not going about business with our young players any different than we always have. It’s about the process, it’s about developing ... our mind set doesn’t change.

“But are we hosting the Mem Cup, do we have to have a high-level team in order to participate in that? absolutely. Yet we think we’re right there. Is there the odd one or two pieces we may have to add along the way? yes. But it’s not something we’re looking at these young kids as they’re going to maybe be a part of acquiring that [piece] from somewhere else.”

Up next for the club is the Canadian Hockey League’s import draft on June 30. jaldrich@reddeeradvocate.com

Bautista opened the scoring in the first inning by belting a Collin McHugh pitch for his 10th homer of the year.

The Blue Jays slugger has reached base safely in 17 straight games.

Jake Marisnick hit a solo homer in the third for his fourth blast of the year, making it a 2-1 game. Martin, a Toronto native who grew up in Chelsea, Que., restored the Blue Jays’ lead in the fourth inning with his eighth homer of the season.

Bautista’s second homer of the day came in the seventh inning. It was his first multi-homer game of the year and 24th of his career.

Blue Jays 7 Astros 6 TORONTO — A wild, bizarre and unpredictable bottom of the ninth inning went the Toronto Blue Jays’ way Sunday afternoon.

The frame included a rally-starting double by light-hitting Munenori Kawasaki, an infield pop-up that dropped in and an aggressive double steal.

Chris Colabello capped it with a tworun single to give Toronto a thrilling 7-6 walkoff victory over the Houston Astros.

Kawasaki sliced a ground-rule double off Luke Gregerson and scored on a single by Jose Reyes, who stole second.

Jose Bautista got under a pitch and it drifted towards Reyes at second, who squatted down and covered his head while staying on the base.

Shortstop Jonathan Villar bumped into Reyes as he tried to catch it, and the ball dribbled out to leave everyone safe.

“I’ve never seen that before,” said Blue Jays starter R.A. Dickey. “And when that happened, we were all looking at each other like it’s probably destiny that we’re going to pull this one off.”

Reyes and Bautista each moved up a base on the double steal and Colabello got his bat on an outside pitch and sent it up the middle to drive them home, sending the 35,571 fans at Rogers Centre into a tizzy.

“Getting the runner to third makes it a little bit harder for (Gregerson) to want to bounce one or throw his really nasty (slider),” Colabello said. “I told myself, ’If it’s above my waist, I’m going to swing.’

“Little did I know I would swing at one that was in the other box. But thankfully it worked out.”

Canada opens World Cup with contentious win

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — Brave decision or non-call?

Ukraine referee Kateryna Monzul’s decision to award a stoppage-time penalty Saturday proved to be the turning point in Canada’s 1-0 win over China in the opening match of the Women’s World Cup. Captain Christine Sinclair scored on the 92nd-minute penalty kick for the Canada victory and her 154th international goal.

Canadian coach John Herdman applauded the call, given its timing, importance and the nature of the offence.

“All credit to the referee,” he said after the match.

“I mean that was a brave decision.

Some refs just sort of overlook those ones, because you can go ’OK, well it was a bump.’ It wasn’t like blatantly obvious, (like) it was a blatant trip or something like that when someone’s through on goal.

“I thought she was brave, very brave.

And she had a very good game today. If that’s the standard of the referees in this tournament, this is going to be a solid tournament.”

China coach Hao Wei said he did not have a clear view of the play.

“We are here to play the game. We respect all the rules and we respect all the referee’s judgment,” he said diplomatically through an interpreter. “But whether it is fair or not I have to watch the video afterwards.”

Canada’s Sophie Schmidt sent a looping ball into the box to Jessie Fleming, who toppled backwards as she headed the ball back towards Adriana Leon. The Canadian forward and China’s Zhao Rong both went after the ball with Leon going down after she was partially clotheslined by Zhao.

The Chinese player appeared to

Germany crushes Ivory Coast in Group B play at FIFA Women’s World Cup OTTAWA — Celia Sasic and Anja Mittag had a hat trick each as Germany rolled to a 10-0 win over the Ivory Coast in Group B play at the Women’s World Cup.

be trying to hold her position as she headed towards the ball, but her outstretched arm caught Leon, whose burst of speed seemed to take Zhao by surprise. Zhao’s height didn’t help either in terms of the collision. She is listed as being three inches taller than the five-foot-three Leon.

Joe Machnik, a former FIFA match commissioner and MLS vice-president, agreed with the call on the Fox Sports broadcast.

“I don’t think it’s a controversial play at all. What makes it controversial is the time of the decision — the 90thplus minute,” he said. “We wouldn’t be talking about it if it happened in the 31st minute.

“For me, it’s a penalty whether it’s the 31st minute or the 90th minute. The referee makes a great call.”

But fellow Fox analyst, Alexi Lalas, a former U.S. international, disagreed.

“Was it a foul? Yes. But the calls in a soccer game don’t happen in a vacuum,” he said. “I have to look at this in the context of the game. This was a 0-0 game. I thought in the first half, China played better than Canada, so at the end of the game, what really happened was the soccer gods smiled on the host nation, the referee walked to the spot singing ’O Canada’ and gave them a gift.

“In the context of this game, I would not have called this a penalty.”

Former Canadian international Kara Lang, now a TSN analyst, said it was the right call — the result of sloppy defending.

FIFA’s laws of the game define 10 offences that should result in a direct free kick, or a penalty if committed inside the penalty area.

One could argue Zhao committed five of those offences, whether she meant to or not: ● jumps at an opponent ● charges an opponent second-most lopsided win in event history. The two time World Cup champions own the record for most lopsided World Cup game, an 11-0 rout of Argentina in 2011.

Sasic’s three goals were the fastest hat trick in Women’s World Cup history. Germany is the first country to reach the century goals mark at the tournament, with 101. The United States, which plays Monday, has 98.

Despite giving up 10 goals, Ivory Coast goalkeeper Dominique Thiamale turned in a series of outstanding plays to slow the German attack and turned in seven saves.

Earlier, Isabell Herlovsen scored twice as Norway toppled Thailand 4-0 in Group B play.

Trine Ronning opened the scoring for the 11th-ranked Norwegians in the

15th minute when she bent a free kick around a wall of Thai defenders.

Herlovsen added two more five minutes apart as the 1995 champions took a 3-0 lead into halftime.

Pettersen survives tough round Lingmerth outlasts Justin Rose to win Manulife LPGA Classic in playoff to win the Memorial

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CAMBRIDGE, Ont. — Suzann Pettersen had her worst round at the Manulife LPGA Classic on Sunday, but she pulled it back together to win the tournament.

On the clock for slow play and down a shot to Brittany Lang with three holes to go, Pettersen drained birdie putts on holes 16 and 17, before a par on 18 to win the LPGA Classic by one stroke at 22-under par at Whistle Bear Golf Club.

Pettersen’s 3-under par 69 was her highest score of the four rounds and she still managed to hold off Lang, who was 7-under par 65 on the day and finished at 21-under.

“I felt I played some really good golf this week,” Pettersen said, despite not being able to match her three bogeyfree rounds. Her previous best finish at the Manulife Classic was a tie for sixth in 2013.

“I was pretty flawless through three rounds and broke that effort pretty quickly with a couple of bogeys, but I managed to get my head together and play some good golf. I played aggressive and it was a good day on the golf

course.”

Hamilton’s Alena Sharp had an upand-down day with three birdies and four bogeys to finish 1-over par for the round and 10-under for the tournament and in a tie for 27th place.

Sharp finished as low Canadian for the third time in the last four years at the Manulife Classic, also accomplishing the feat in 2012 and 2013. It is also the lowest ever finish by a Canadian, beating the previous low of a tie for 30th place.

Toronto’s Sue Kim shot just 1-under par on the day and 5-under for the tournament. Sara-Maude Juneau of Fossambault-Sur-Le-Lac, Que., carded a 1-over par for a 4-under par total, and Natalie Gleadall of Stratford, Ont., struggled to a 6-over par to finish even par in her first Manulife Classic.

The win is Pettersen’s first on the tour since the Sunrise Taiwan LPGA Championship in October 2013 and the fifth time in a row she’s won when leading after 36 holes of a tournament.

But it’s been a long time coming, the Norwegian said.

Both Mariajo Uribe and Cristie Kerr, who were right behind Pettersen after the third round, faded in the final 18 holes.

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DUBLIN, Ohio — David Lingmerth kept telling himself it was his turn to win Sunday in the Memorial, even amid so many signs that suggested otherwise.

He thought his 3-under 69 would be enough when Justin Rose shanked a shot from a fairway bunker, plunked a spectator in the head and had to get up-and-down from 55 yards on the final hole to force a playoff. And he did.

Lingmerth was looking at a 10-foot par putt for the win on the first extra hole until Rose made a 20-footer for par that fell in from the right side of the cup, and suddenly the Swede’s putt was simply to stay in the game.

Lingmerth made them all until he was shaking hands with tournament host Jack Nicklaus to celebrate a victory he won’t soon forget. He ended the three-hole playoff — the longest in 40 years at Muirfield Village — with a par putt from just inside 5 feet.

But it was that first extra hole and his 10-foot putt to match Rose’s par that showed his resolved.

“I was thinking to myself that I’d

probably have a putt to win the tournament right there,” he said. “And then he drops it in ... and this big, huge roar.

Crazy feeling. So I took a few moments just to let the crowd and myself calm down because I knew how big that next putt was going to be. I’ve been in a few playoffs. You win some, you lose some.

But I didn’t feel that it was my turn to lose this time. I was telling myself that I was going to make that putt.”

Stoic through all the pressure, the most emotion he showed was after it was all over.

His first PGA Tour victory came on the birthday of his father, Thomas, and his parents’ anniversary. Lingmerth’s wife used FaceTime for the father to watch the press conference, and when it ended, Nicklaus took the spoke and spoke to him as Lingmerth smiled wider that he did all day.

There were a few other gifts.

Lingmerth is headed to the Masters for the first time, but not the U.S. Open. He has a qualifier on Monday, as if 21 holes on Sunday wasn’t enough.

The victory also gets him into the PGA Championship, two World Golf Championships and gives him a three-year exemption on the PGA Tour.

B4 Silverbacks get off to hot start

MONDAY, JUNE 8, 2015

JUNIOR C LACROSSE TEAM ON TRACK FOR FOURTH PROVINCIAL TITLE IN FIVE YEARS

BY JOSH ALDRICH ADVOCATE STAFF Silverbacks 12 Rage 2 BLACKFALDS — The Blackfalds Silverbacks hunt for a fourth senior C lacrosse provincial title in five years has started off in style.

The Silverbacks improved to 7-0 with a home-opening weekend sweep of the Vermilion Rage, including a 122 win on Sunday afternoon and a 14-9 comeback win on Saturday.

By any count, it was the two closest games all season the Rage have seen.

“We’ve got a good squad this year, the first couple of games this year have been a blow out and these two games tested our will,” said Silverbacks assistant captain Shandi Werenka. “We got down a bit last night and we battled back, it showed some good intensity from our guys.”

In Sunday’s win they showed they could win with a defence-first approach, holding Vermilion off the scoreboard until the 4:38 of the third period when D.J. Yenson finally broke Adam Mooney’s goose egg, but with the score already 8-0 for the Silverbacks, the game was already out of reach.

Gerodin Flett, Myles Nadon, and Braedon Kripps all scored twice for Blackfalds while, Luke Flett, Andrew Munden, Troy Klaus, Scott Ebbert, Trent Oleson, Tyler McRobbie and Werenka all scored once. Ebbert finished with a five point night, also adding four assists.

Braden Drury scored Vermilion’s second goal while Ryan Bouma took the loss in net.

Buccaneers open season by drubbing defending league champions

BY JOSH ALDRICH ADVOCATE STAFF Buccaneers 31 Wolfpack 0 CALGARY — It’s not too often when a team shuts out the defending league champion and the coach comes away unhappy.

The Central Alberta Buccaneers blanked the Calgary Wolfpack 31-0 on Sunday to open their Alberta Football League season in Calgary, but rookie head coach Devon Hand could only think about what could have been.

They wracked up 33 penalties that dogged them all game long.

“I’m not at all happy,” said Hand.

“In my 28 years of being involved in football I’ve never seen that. In the first quarter alone we had six 15-yard majors, so I was very displeased.”

He says some of the penalties may be attributed to being fired up to start the season, but some of it was just plain undisciplined football.

“We earned those. We were undisciplined and scattered, very frenetic to start the game,” said Hand.

Still they did show some flashes that lets Hand believe there is a high ceiling for this team, especially considering the play of some of his off-season recruits.

The highlight of the game for the Buccaneers was a first quarter defensive touchdown by linebacker Nick Leonidakis, who scooped up a loose ball and took it back 45 yards for the opening score.

Leonidakis is one of Hand’s big recruits out of Ontario this year.

Another newcomer, Tanner Green added a receiving touchdown as while new quarterback Jamie Fox originally out of Nanaimo, B.C., and now a local firefighter scored on a keeper. The only returning player to find pay dirt was receiver Matt Merkley who hooked up with Fox in the second half for a score.

“Pascal Plante started the game at QB, but Jamie Fox came in in the second half and put some drives together for us,” said Hand, noting the rookie pivot finished with two touchdown passes in his debut.

The running game, led by returning AFL rushing champ and rookie of the year Junior Rivera, also showed well, he even kicked a field goal. No stats were available at press time.

“He looked good, he had a couple of real nice runs and he’s only going to get better in this offence,” said Hand.

“He’s one of our feature guys and he’s going to be clutch for us all year.”

Regardless of penalties and miscues, Hand was still happy with the play of his defence, though he knows they can play better.

“Anytime you come out with a shut out, you can’t complain too much, but there’s always room for improvement.

We gave up a couple of big plays but we were fortunate not to give up any points,” said Hand. “I thought our inside pressure wasn’t working as good as I hoped.”

Their biggest key to victory was the play of their special teams, in particular their kick coverage that never let the Wolfpack get rolling and set up in good field position.

“They really set the tone in the second half and really came out and made some big plays,” said Hand. “They were the glue tonight and kept us on track and were consistent all night.

When the other phases aren’t functioning to what the expectations are, you hope that the special teams can keep it together and they definitely did that tonight.

He is well aware that they will get a much tougher challenge in their home opener on Saturday at ME Global Field in Lacombe against the Calgary Gators at 7 p.m.

The Gators swallowed up much of the Wolfpack’s top talent following their 15th league championship last year, including star quarterback Darryl Leason and his brother and receiver Mike Leason.

In their first game as a Calgary super team, they demolished expansion team Airdrie Irish 81-7.

“We’ve got a lot of work to do,” said Hand.

“We have a huge test ahead of us next week.” jaldrich@reddeeradvocate.com

senior C lacrosse world is their ability to constantly work new young players into the fold while holding on to their core vets.

Back this year are top players like Werenka, Geordin and Luke Flett, Har-

ry Thompson, McRobbie and Mooney among several others.

This year’s rookies include Dustin Reykdal, Kevin Langois, Kevin Brown and Krips among others.

This allows them to keep their older players’ legs fresh while with a full roster of 26, never be short of players for games or see a drop off in talent.

“Everybody’s buying in,” said Werenka. “We can put up goals, but we can also stop goals, we have three good goalies, we’ve got 10 good guys on defence that can score and we’ve got seven or eight good offensive guys that can score. I don’t think we have any glaring strengths or weaknesses, we’re just a solid team from front to back.”

Still there are areas they need to tighten up and improve upon with their final five games.

“It’s tough to play games when we’re blowing everybody out, so this was a good test for us,” said Werenka. “Getting our intensity up, getting a full squad at practices and varying that momentum from game to practice to game.”

Expectations remain as high as ever and nothing less than a fifth provincial title in six years will suffice.

“It’s the expectation every year,” said Werenka.

“We didn’t come here to be an average team. We groom the young kids in and we want to win all year, playoffs and provincials. we want to go undefeated.”

The Silverbacks are in Edmonton on Saturday to play the Warriors. Their next home game is June 20 when they host the Grande Prairie Thrashers at 8:30 p.m. jaldrich@reddeeradvocate.com

Hamilton races to win at Canadian GP

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — It may have been the dullest of the 46 Canadian Grand Prix races since 1967, but Lewis Hamilton found it brilliant.

The Formula One driving leader put two miserable weeks behind him as he coasted to victory with Mercedes AMG teammate Nico Rosberg on his tail in what was a two-car race from the outset on the usually treacherous 4.361 kilometre Circuit Gilles Villeneuve on Sunday.

There was more drama mid-race when a groundhog just made it on a mad dash across the track just ahead of three speeding cars.

Hamilton posted his fourth victory in seven races and ended Rosberg’s two-race winning run as he held the lead from pole position and was never seriously threatened.

“I was pushing like mad to try and put the pressure on, but he didn’t make any mistakes, so fair play,” said Rosberg.

“Second place is still OK.” Of note was Valtteri Bottas taking third place for Williams, the first time this season a car other than a Mercedes or Ferrari finished in the top three. Kimi Raikkonen, who ceded third spot when he spun out his Ferrari at the hairpin turn, was fourth and his teammate Sebastian Vettel was fifth.

Two weeks ago in Monaco, Hamilton was deprived of victory when his team called him in for a tire change with the race under a safety car, which handed the win to Rosberg and allowed the German to close within 10 points in drivers standings.

There were more mishaps in practice this week, including a spinout and a light crash into a tire barrier when the Mercedes drivers were inexplicably sent onto the track during a rainstorm.

Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton of Great Britain steers his car at the hairpin followed by team mate Nico Rosberg of Germany during the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal on Sunday. Hamilton won the race while Rosberg placed second.

Hamilton was asked more than once if he felt any redemption, and finally offered: “Did I need this? I think so.

“We had that problem that allowed Nico to win the race, but otherwise, we’ve had good pace,” he added later.

“It was relief to continue the trend and for the team to continue to be strong and move forward. That’s probably the most impressive thing.”

It was a 14th consecutive top-three finish for the defending F1 champion, the third longest ever behind Michael Schumacher (19) and Fernando Alonso (15).

The victory gave Hamilton a 17 point lead on Rosberg going into the next stop in Austria in two weeks. The team’s fourth one-two finish pushed it

Djokovic denied career Grand Slam with loss to Wawrinka; Williams wins 20th Grand Slam title FRENCH OPEN

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PARIS — Moments before his third French Open final in four years, Novak Djokovic jogged in a stadium hallway near a poster of the Coupe des Mousquetaires, the silver trophy awarded to the men’s champion at the only major tournament he has never won.

This time, it would be Stan Wawrinka standing between the No. 1-seeded Djokovic and the title at Roland Garros that the Serb needs for a career Grand Slam.

And once again, Djokovic came up one victory shy, stopped by the eighthseeded Wawrinka and his magical, one-handed backhand. Wawrinka won his first French Open championship and second major title by stunning Djokovic 4-6, 6-4, 6-3, 6-4 in a superbly played match Sunday.

“I know he’s looking for that title,” Wawrinka said. “I hope he will get one, one day, because he deserves one.”

Wawrinka exited in the first round in Paris a year ago. And he had lost 17 of his past 20 matches against Djokovic.

But Wawrinka would not relent on this sunlit afternoon, compiling twice as many winners, 60 to 30.

“Certainly one of the best matches of my career,” Wawrinka said, “if not the best.”

The 30-year-old Wawrinka, so long in the shadow of his Swiss Davis Cup teammate and pal Roger Federer, added to the championship he won at last year’s Australian Open. That’s when Wawrinka became the first man

in 21 years to beat the top two seeds en route to a Grand Slam title. He duplicated that in Paris, eliminating No. 2 Federer in the quarterfinals before toppling Djokovic.

When Djokovic received the silver plate given to the losing finalist, the spectators gave him an unusually long ovation. Djokovic shook his head and his eyes welled with tears.

“Not easy to stand there as a runner-up again,” Djokovic said, “but I lost to a better player who played some courageous tennis.”

On Saturday, what started out as a stroll became quite a struggle for Serena Williams.

After going up by a set and two breaks in the French Open final Saturday, she double-faulted away that lead.

Then, suddenly, she trailed in the third set. As the tension thickened, Williams was warned by the chair umpire for cursing loudly. She even felt the need to hit one shot left-handed.

Ah, but when Williams plays her best, no one is better. Putting aside a lingering illness, a mid-match lull and a feisty opponent, Williams won her third title at Roland Garros and 20th Grand Slam singles trophy by beating 13th-seeded Lucie Safarova of the Czech Republic 6-3, 6-7 (2), 6-2.

“I got so frustrated. I was just so angry at myself. I pretty much gave the match away,” the No. 1-seeded Williams said, her voice scratchy and her nose stuffy. “I just had to, like, try to pull it together.”

That she did, taking the last six games and adding to her 2002 and 2013 championships on the French Open’s red clay. Those go alongside six each from the U.S. Open and Australian Open, and five from Wimbledon.

105 points clear of Ferrari in constructors’ standings.

The Ferraris came to Canada with improvements but didn’t get much chance to show them off. Poor qualifying and a penalty forced Vettel to start 18th on the grid.

The four-time world champion battled back despite needing an early pit stop and surviving a near collision with Nico Helkenberg’s Force India car.

“We didn’t get to see Ferrari’s true pace, but I think we will in the next races,” said Hamilton.

It was a big day for Bottas, who feels Williams is ready to start challenging for at least top-three placings, although he finished more than 40 seconds behind the Mercedes.

Big Air and mixed curling among new events proposed for 2018 Winter Games

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LAUSANNE, Switzerland — The IOC is considering adding new events in snowboarding, freestyle skiing, speedskating and curling for the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea.

Big Air in snowboarding, Big Air in freestyle skiing, mass start in speedskating and mixed doubles in curling have been submitted for approval to the International Olympic Committee executive board, The Associated Press

“I think we really needed this result,” the Finn said. “We know again we are a top team and can fight for podiums.”

Felipe Massa’s Williams was sixth, Pastor Maldonato was seventh in a Lotus, Hulkenberg was eighth, Daniil Kvyat’s Red Bull was ninth and Romain Grosjean’s Lotus finished 10th, a spot he held despite drawing a fivesecond penalty when he bumped Will Stevens’ Manor Marussia during a pass.

Pollex was strong for Truex when his career was in flux following a scandal that cost him a shot at a championship and his ride.

Sunday at Pocono Raceway, they were set for an overdue celebration.

Truex led the most laps for the fourth straight race, only this time he was in front on the one that mattered most, breaking through for his first Sprint Cup victory since 2013.

“This is easily the biggest win of my career,” Truex said.

Truex won the race and NASCAR’s version of a popularity contest in victory lane. Rival drivers, owners, crew members popped by for high-fives and congratulatory messages. Dale Earnhardt Jr. hugged Pollex. Jimmie Johnson fist-bumped Truex. learned Sunday.

When asked about those events, IOC sports director Kit McConnell confirmed they had been proposed by their respective international federations. The recommendations will be considered Monday on the second day of the IOC’s board meeting in Lausanne.

The snowboard parallel slalom event, meanwhile, has been proposed to be dropped from the Olympic program. Under IOC rules, events and disciplines can be added or removed up to three years before the games.

The IOC has been determined to attract younger audiences, as evidenced by the addition of halfpipe and slopestyle events at recent Winter Olympics.

Now it looks like Big Air will be the latest step in that goal.

In Big Air events, competitors fly off a highly pitched ramp similar to those on the slopestyle course, and perform jumps with multiple flips and spins.

BY ASLI BARRETT ADVOCATE STAFF Rotary Recreation Park was abuzz with activity this past weekend for the ninth annual Central Alberta Children’s Festival.

The event, which ran Friday and Saturday, was started by Family Services of Central Alberta as a way to bring back play into the lives of families that often find it hard to find time to do so, if only for a weekend.

With a diverse range of entertainment, games and activities, there was a little something for children of all age groups.

Flyin’ Bob amazed audiences with a wire act and other circusthemed tricks, while Professor Klunk inspired young readers with his whimsical way with words.

Taekwondo, rhythmic gymnastics, tap dancing, jazzercise and cheerleading demonstrations took place, providing children and parents alike with insight into many of Red Deer’s athletic options.

Music stations and a box art city appealed to the creatively-minded, while those with interest in science could explore rocks and skeletons.

Blocks, bubbles and a mini sandbox were provided for toddlers.

Lines for face painting and balloon animals were seemingly endless, and children made their way through a number of bouncy castles, obstacle courses, mazes and carnival-themed games.

Harper pushes EU trade pact on day 1 G7

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS SCHLOSS ELMAU, Germany — Prime Minister Stephen Harper used Sunday’s opening of the G7 summit to push European leaders to ratify the comprehensive Canada-EU free trade agreement.

Harper’s office said he talked up the trade pact at the G7’s first working session of the day on the fragile global economy.

“Prime Minister Harper encouraged European members of the G7 to swiftly implement the job-creating Canada-EU trade agreement,” his office said in a statement.

Harper met European Council President Donald Tusk, and the European Commission President JeanClaude Juncker, where he was expected to push the deal.

Harper said nothing about the trade deal going

into the meeting, and did not meet with the travelling Canadian media on the first day of the summit, holding two photo-ops that lasted barely a minute in total.

Canada and the EU have an agreement in principle on a sweeping pact in goods and services but the legal text still must be finished so it can be ratified

by Canada and the EU’s 28-member countries.

Ratifying the pact, known as CETA, would be a major political win for Harper with the planned Oct. 19 federal election looming.

Harper used a meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel to push for CETA’s ratification.

“The two leaders discussed the importance of growing the still fragile global economy, including through the timely ratification of the job creating Canada-European Union Trade Agreement,” said Harper’s office.

Harper also met with British Prime Minister David Cameron, and they discussed the need to grow the fragile global economy as well as addressing two of the world’s leading security issues: the crisis between Russia and Ukraine and the fight against the

Islamic militants in Iraq and Syria, said his office.

They emphasized the need for Russian President Vladimir Putin to honour the Minsk peace agreement that was seriously undermined by a renewed outbreak of violence in eastern Ukraine this week.

“The two leaders reiterated the importance of maintaining a firm and united stance on Russia’s aggression in Ukraine, and urged Putin to respect and implement the Minsk Agreement,” said Harper’s office.

Harper arrived in Germany’s scenic and mountainous Bavarian region for the G7 after stopping in Kyiv and assuring Ukrainian leaders that he would push for solutions to their ongoing conflict with Russia.

Merkel and U.S. President Barack Obama also presented a united front, affirming the need to maintain sanctions on Russia.

“The duration of sanctions should be clearly linked to Russia’s full implementation of the Minsk agreements and respect for Ukraine’s sovereignty,” the White House said in a statement after their meeting.

Making money from music MONTREAL JAZZ FESTIVAL A BOON FOR BUSINESSES

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — When Ray Charles opened the inaugural Montreal International Jazz Festival in 1980, founder Alain Simard was working on a budget of $70,000.

Little did he know that years later the festival would stave off financial ruin and draw millions in money and crowds to become one of the country’s most economically successful events of the summer.

“We could never have imagined that it would become a symbol of Montreal and bring about $100 million economic windfall each year,” said Simard, who is overseeing his final festival this year beginning June 26.

The early years were challenging. The festival nearly went bankrupt in 1986 after a major cigarette sponsor pulled out and its costs grew by operating at two outdoor venues. While older jazz festivals like Montreux and Newport charged admission, Montreal’s pioneered a formula that included holding free outdoor events to shine a light on unknown artists and paid indoor performances featuring world headliners. It worked. Nearly two million people now crowd the city’s streets each year during Montreal’s jazz festival, which operates on a budget of $30 million including government subsidies and corporate sponsorships. About 150,000 pay $30 to $150 to see artists from the world of jazz or other musical genres. The festival infuses about $63 million into the economy from tourists, creating about 2,000 direct jobs and adding tens of millions to government coffers in taxes, said Simard.

Over time, the festival has attracted jazz giants Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Miles Davis and Oscar Peterson and helped launch the careers of Diana Krall and Dee Dee Bridgewater. It has also branched out into other genres, hosting the likes of Prince, Stevie Wonder and Aretha Franklin.

For Simard, the emotional highlight was Dave Brubeck’s mournful 2009 performance a day after the death of one of the pianist’s sons. He recalls how the “Take Five” performer collapsed in tears in his arms after leaving the stage.

Jazz was the focus of the festival because it was mainly instrumental, thereby avoiding a language divide barely a month after Quebec’s first referendum, Simard said.

“I wanted to do something that would reach both French and English Montrealers and unite them — and it proved to work.”

Simard said concert sites are a sort of neutral territory where people of all ages, backgrounds and political persuasions can enjoy music, dance, drink and meet strangers — including the many tourists that come from the United States, Europe and Asia.

The festival accelerated development of a downtown area that spawned concert halls, restaurants and features a large area free from traffic used for a series of winter and summer events.

Robert Soroka, a marketing professor at McGill University’s Desautels Faculty of Management, says any retailer within a 10-block radius benefits directly from the influx of vacationers, especially Americans who “love the familiarity of jazz in the backdrop of a foreign country.”

“I do not see any sector in the aggregate not benefitting,” he said.

“However, for those businesses that ... are not in close proximity, it simply means that they must work harder to appeal to its target audience during those weeks.”

French musician Yoann Lemoine (aka Woodkid) performs during a concert as part of the Montreal International Jazz Festival, Montreal, Que., June 26, 2014.

The House of Jazz is one of those companies. General manager Francois Martinek hopes that nightly jam sessions with Juno Award-winning jazz drummer Jim Doxas this year will lure additional festivalgoers to trek several blocks from the main venue, especially during warm summer evenings.

“Hopefully we’re going to get a lot of people in,” Martinek said. “I would say I bring in for those 10 days an extra 250 people.”

The manager of Steve’s Music Store, which is a kilometre from the main concert stage, said he notices an increase in the number of visitors to his shop while the event is on.

“Any type of event that the city puts on that helps bring business into those brick and mortar stores, I’m all for it,” Sheldon Sazant said.

Sazant couldn’t specify how much sales go up during the festival but he said he believes the financial impact is spread more evenly among retailers than Montreal’s other summer extravaganza — the Formula One Grand Prix — which attracts jet-setters during the first weekend in June.

By the numbers: The growth of the Montreal International Jazz Festival MONTREAL — The Montreal International Jazz Festival has grown into one of the country’s biggest events of the summer, generating about 2,000 jobs and close to $100 million in spinoffs for the city’s hotels, restaurants and bars.

Here’s a look at the festival, by the numbers: The beginning: Ray Charles opened the 1980 festival at the site of Expo 67. Tickets cost $7. About 2,000 people attended the concert, and 20,000 in total attended the 10-day event.

From Sarah to Snoop: Over the years, the festival

Pierre Bellerose of Tourism Montreal said the four-day Formula One Grand Prix generates as much economic spinoff as the jazz festival, but spending is focused more on luxury businesses.

TD Bank is the title sponsor of the jazz festival for a sixth year. Marketing vice-president Chris Stamper said the sponsorship raises the bank’s profile and drives business. He said that’s especially important in Quebec’s largest city, where the Toronto-based bank hasn’t had a strong presence.

“We’ve grown that substantially but we’re always looking for opportunities to drive consideration in the market,” he said.

Although sponsors aren’t permitted to directly solicit in Montreal, association with the festival can be priceless.

Simard said a former Alcan president recounted how the mining company offset the cost of its festival sponsorship by striking a lucrative deal with a jazzloving client it flew in by private jet.

“That deal ... paid for all the money of our sponsorship,” Simard said. has included a number of jazz luminaries including Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald, Oscar Peterson and Miles Davis.

But it has also branched out into other genres, featuring the likes of James Taylor, Bob Dylan, Prince and Snoop Dogg.

Flocking to the fest: Nearly two million people, including an estimated 150,000 tourists, watch the festival’s many outdoor free concerts and paid indoor events annually.

What a wonderful world: The festival attracts more than 3,000 musicians from 30 countries.

Ten cents a dance: Not exactly. There are free concerts at several stages in the downtown Quartier des spectacles.

Ticketed events range from $30 to $150.

Budget gives seniors financial flexibility Canadian seniors will have more flexibility in their finances and lifestyle as a result of some of the measures proposed in the federal government’s 2015 budget.

Starting in the 2015 tax year the minimum withdrawal of funds from a Registered Retirement Income Fund (RRIF) begins at 5.28 per cent of the fund’s value, down from 7.38 per cent. The rate continues to rise each year until it is capped at 20 per cent at age 95 and over. Previously the 20 per cent cap was reached at age 94.

The lower withdrawal rates are expected to allow seniors TALBOT to preserve more of their capBOGGS ital – up to almost 50 per cent – by the age of 90. Those who have withdrawn more than is required under the new rules will be allowed to put the excess back into their fund. Seniors will still be able to base their minimum RRIF payments on the age of a younger spouse or common-law partner.

The majority of Canadians (about 80 per cent) convert their Registered Retirement Savings Plans (RRSPs) into RRIFs during the year in which they turn 71. A RRIF is an extension of an RRSP. While an RR-

SP is used to save for retirement, a RRIF is used to systematically draw out income during retirement.

“The new withdrawal rules give seniors a lot more flexibility,” says Myron Knodel, director of tax and estate planning with Investors Group.” They recognize that people are living longer and have been adjusted to reflect that increased longevity as well as the current low rates of return on their money,” Seniors can get even more financial bang for their bucks through the increased allowable annual contribution of $10,000 to the Tax Free Savings Account, changes to charitable donation and capital gains rules and the new Home Accessibility Tax Credit.

Starting next year, the non-refundable Home Accessibility credit applies to seniors 65 and older and people who quality for the Disability Tax Credit. It provides up to $1,500 in tax relief on up to $10,000 in home renovations for things like wheelchair ramps, walk-in bathtubs, grab bars and wheel-in showers that allow the individual to gain access to or be more mobile or functional within the dwelling and reduce the risk of harm to that person.

The expenses must be enduring in nature and integral to the home. Other costs such as routine repairs and maintenance, household finances, financing costs of the renovations and outdoor gardening are not eligible. The credit will not be affected by other tax credits or grants to which a qualifying individual is entitled such as the Medical Expense Tax Credit.

Seniors also will benefit from changes to compas-

sionate care benefits. The government will invest up to $37 million annually to extend to six months from six weeks the amount of time that people can be away from work to care for a family member who is gravely ill, effective as of January 2016.

“Through this enhancement the government is ensuring that the Employment Insurance program continues to help Canadians when they need it most,” says a budget summary by Mackenzie Investments.

Seniors, and others, who own a business now will have a new way to save themselves capital gains when they use shares of their own company to donate to a charity.

The budget proposed to provide an exemption from capital gains taxation on the sale of certain private company shares and real estate if the cash proceeds from the sale of the shares or real estate are donated to a qualified donee within 30 days after the sale and the shares or real estate are sold to a purchaser that is dealing at arms’ length with both the donor and the qualified donee.

As well, the budget proposes to increase the lifetime capital gains exemption to $1 million for capital gains realized by individuals, which could include seniors, on the sale of qualified farm or fishing property.

Transportation stocks are slumping, but it’s not time to sell yet

D I L B E R T

‘IT’S THE COCKROACH THEORY OF DIVERGENCES. WHEN YOU SEE ONE, YOU WATCH AND YOU’RE CAREFUL ABOUT IT, BUT YOU DON’T WORRY UNLESS YOU SEE FIVE OR SIX.’ — BRUCE MCCAIN CHIEF INVESTMENT STRATEGIST AT KEYPRIVATE BANK

NEW YORK — One of the oldest trading strategies in the book is showing a yellow flag for stock investors, but analysts say it’s not quite time to sell yet.

The Dow Jones industrial average closed at an all-time high last month, extending a bull market that stretches back more than six years. However, another gauge that tracks airlines, railroad and freight companies — the Dow Jones transportation average — has gone the other way, slumping to a seven-month low at the end of May. The theory is that the transportation sector is a leading indicator for the economy. If consumers and business are buying more, then goods have to be transported by plane, rail or ship. That should benefit the companies moving the goods.

If they’re buying less, the thinking goes, there’s less demand for transportation services, meaning trouble ahead for the economy and the stock market.

That thought is the underpinning of Dow Theory, a system for timing when to get in and get out of the stock market. It’s based on the musings of Charles Dow, the co-founder of Dow Jones & Co., who started assembling stock indexes in the late 1800s. Adherents to the strategy say that it signalled big stock market sell-offs in 1929, 1937 and 2000.

The Dow Jones transportation average, which consists of 20 stocks, was down as much as 9.6 per cent from a recent peak in February through the end of May. It has recovered some of those loses this week, but is still down 7 per cent for the year.

Kansas City Southern, a rail company that operates in the central and southern U.S., has been the worst performer in the index, falling 23 per cent so far this year. United Continental, the railroad Union Pacific and freight company UPS are among other stocks that have dropped.

The slump in transports contrasts with the performance of the 30-mem-

ber Dow Jones industrial average, which includes stocks in many industries including sporting goods, banking, entertainment and technology.

The index is up 0.2 per cent this year and reached an all-time high of 18,312 on May 19.

Still, many analysts remain sanguine about the outlook for the broader market.

While the divergence between the Dow Jones industrial average and the transportation index is one indicator of uncertainty, you need to see more danger signs before you get out of stocks, said Bruce McCain, chief investment strategist at KeyPrivate Bank. For example, weakness in other areas that are particularly sensitive to economic growth, such as technology and industrial stocks.

“It’s the cockroach theory of divergences,” said McCain. “When you see one, you watch and you’re careful about it, but you don’t worry unless you see five or six.”

McCain says that the transport slump is due to a recent rise in the price of oil that could push up fuel costs for those companies. The industry benefited last year as oil prices plunged due to a supply glut. Now, though, oil is trading close to $60 a barrel after falling as low as $42 in March.

There are also signs that the economy is regaining momentum after starting 2015 in a deep slump.

U.S. employers added a robust 280,000 jobs in May, the Labor Department said Friday. The government also revised up its estimate of job growth during March and April by a combined net 32,000. The steady hiring should help drive the economy in coming months. The transportation index is the descendent of the first stock index assembled by Charles Dow. That index, which was created in 1884, consisted of nine railroads, Pacific Mail Steamship and Western Union. Detractors of Dow Theory say that the world has changed significantly since the Gilded Age and the heyday of the railroads in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when they were among America’s biggest companies.

Five things to watch for in business this week

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Here are five things to look for in Canadian business this week: Economics confab: The International Economic Forum of the Americas hosts the 21st Conference of Montreal on Monday. Carolyn Wilkins, the Bank of Canada senior deputy governor, will be on hand for a roundtable discussion on financial services risks for the first day of the four-day gathering.

Housing: Also on Monday, two key measures that gauge the health of the Canadian housing market are released.

The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. is out with May housing starts, while Statistics Canada reports on the value of building permits for the same month.

Securities: The Ontario Securities Commission holds a roundtable on

Tuesday to discuss a proposed new whistleblower program to encourage the reporting of serious misconduct of Ontario securities law to the OSC. Blackberry: Also on Tuesday, former BlackBerry mogul Jim Balsillie addresses the Empire Club of Canada, where he’s expected to address what went wrong with Canada’s once-storied Research in Motion. Balsillie recently opined that Canada isn’t equipped for global competition.

Earnings: Lululemon Athletica reports its first-quarter results on Tuesday. Hudson’s Bay Q1 results are on Wednesday, as are Dollararama’s, which should provide an interesting glimpse into Canada’s discount retail sector.

And on Thursday, media company Transcontinental and tour operator Transat AT are out with second-quarter results.

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BEIJING — When Dong Yingli first opened her east Beijing meat skewers restaurant six years ago, her chefs cooked the lamb, chicken hearts and assorted treats over an uncovered grill, with giant fans blowing the clouds of pungent smoke from the sidewalk into the middle of the street.

Elsewhere in this sprawling capital city, four coal-fired power plants belched exhaust into the smoggy skies, while countless steel and cement factories in neighbouring provinces emitted millions of tons of cancer-causing particles into the air.

Now, more than a year since Chinese Premier Li Keqiang declared war on pollution across the country, Beijing’s massive anti-smog fight is transforming this 20-million-person metropolis in ways both big and small. Still, as was evident on several days over the past week, when a thick grey pall filled the streets, the Chinese smog battle is far from won.

Authorities in Beijing are shutting down coal-fired power plants within the city limits and have tried to reduce vehicle exhaust by forcing many residents to wait years to win a license plate. The capital last Monday launched the country’s strictest ban on smoking indoors. Officials have even tried to convince people to cut back on the centuries-old tradition of setting off fireworks during Chinese New Year, though booms and crackles still rang out across the city in February.

In the predominantly Muslim neighbourhood where Dong runs her restaurant, inspectors have become a regular sight as they make sure vendors have installed thousands of dollars’ worth of ventilation and filters. Though Dong doesn’t think her business had much to do with the state of Beijing’s air, she says the extra enforcement in general has made breathing easier.

“The environment has gotten a lot better here,” Dong said at a sidewalk table on a recent smoggy evening.

“There used to be so much smoke here, it was hard to even see. This needed to be done.”

Despite all the reforms, official figures show Beijing’s average density of PM2.5 — harmful particles that are small enough to enter bloodstreams — was nine times the World Health Organization air quality safety level in the first three months of the year. That still marked a 19 per cent drop from pollution levels a year before.

The city has shown it can bring back days-long stretches of blue skies for high-profile events such as last year’s Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation group meeting, but only by wielding the toughest of measures, such as encouraging residents to leave town and closing factories more than 120 miles away. Keeping the skies clean on a daily basis will require more permanent fixes, said Li Xiang, with Beijing’s Environmental Protection Ministry.

“Changing air pollution is a longterm project,” Li said. “In other cities, like London and Los Angeles in the U.S., it took about 50 years to reduce air pollution and show significant change. ... Beijing has made significant improvements, but meeting people’s expectations will take some time.”

The anti-pollution fight has become a particularly sensitive task for imageconscious Chinese leaders as the country becomes known globally as much for its severe pollution as its economic growth.

Environmental woes have also become one of the top causes of social unrest in China, as well as a major health hazard. Studies show pollution causes more than a million premature deaths annually in China and shortens life spans by an average of five years.

Lax enforcement of the new environmental restrictions is a clear obstacle to cleaning up the capital’s air.

For example, although Beijing has banned open-air barbecues within its Fourth Ring Road, clouds of skewer smoke are common sights in the twisting alleyways and roads throughout the city centre.

Spy tops box office, Entourage lags behind

More acts announced for Sylvan festival

Melissa McCarthy notched her first No. 1 weekend box-office debut as a leading lady with the $30 million opening of her espionage comedy Spy. Last week’s top film, San Andreas, the disaster movie starring Dwayne Johnson, slid to second place with $26.4 million.

HBO’s Entourage failed to compete with any of those releases. It made $10.4 million over the weekend.

A year ago, Inna Platonova held up Ukrainian-born pianist Valentina Lisitsa as a role model for her sevenyear-old son — an aspiring musician who is also of Ukrainian descent. This week, Platonova is organizing protests against the artist who performed with the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra on Friday and has a second show scheduled for Saturday.

“I showed her YouTube videos to my son because he started playing piano at age six and I wanted to encourage him to play better,” says Platonova, who came to Canada from Ukraine in 2003 and now lives in Calgary.“I would never have thought a year later that I would be coming to protest such horrible views that she expressed.”

An ethnic Russian born in Ukraine who now lives in the United States, Lisitsa has been active on social media and is extremely critical of the current Ukrainian regime. There are comparisons between the current government in the Ukraine and Nazi Germany. Her often outlandish tweets have been called anti-Semitic and deeply offensive to a host of different ethnic groups as well as to the disabled. She has defended her positions by saying she wants the “other” side of the story in Ukraine to be known. She says she is exercising her right to free speech speaking out against the “atrocities” of the civil war in Ukraine, particularly those committed against the Russian minority in the eastern and southern regions. She notes she has paid a price

for her views.

“Death threats, wishes for my family to die, calling me ’paid Kremlin whre,”’ she wrote on Facebook April 6.

In April, Lisitsa was barred from performing with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra over her online comments.

That prompted an outcry from free speech advocates, who argued politics and piano shouldn’t be mixed. Organizers with Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra pledged to push ahead with their shows and ticket sales haven’t been hurt by the controversy, said artistic planning director Heather Slater.

“We understand that Ms. Lisitsa’s comments have offended members of the community and of course we appreciate the sensitivity of political situations such as this one,” Slater said.

“The CPO engages artists based on artistic merit and cannot take a position on an artist’s political views.”

Slater noted the orchestra would open itself to criticism either way.

“I’m sure CPO is getting some negative publicity, so either way in this situation, whatever the decision would have been, I don’t think there was a way to avoid that.”

Platonova set up a Facebook page to encourage protests outside the performances. A couple of dozen people held up placards on Friday calling Lisitsa’s views racist and xenophobic.

“She thinks it’s perfectly OK and CPO is saying, ’Well, yeah, this is OK.’ They are basically silently endorsing it by brushing it off as a freedom of speech and political views issue and that is what is concerning us,” said Platonova.

The lilting, serpentine melody started with a single flute, wound through the woodwinds, was repeated by trombone and other brass instruments, and echoed by the large, sweeping strings section.

Gaining in volume and passion, the effect was epic. The relentless, building sound became almost hypnotic — until the key was raised from a C major to E major for about three bars, breaking the spell and jolting the audience out of a musical trance.

It was easy to see why Lapalme called this “one of the great moments in music.”

Two young and talented local musicians were spotlighted performing single movements from Antonin Dvorak’s Violin Concerto in A Minor and Gordon Jacob’s Concerto for Bassoon and Strings.

Heidi Baumbach, winner of the 2013 Kiwanis Music Festival, performed a stunning final movement of the Dvorak concerto with the full orchestra. The sweetly sentimental piece is actually extremely difficult for the soloist, but Baumbach made it seem fluid.

The expressive player, who’s completing her bachelors degree in music at Burman University in Lacombe, was sidelined by injury last year and couldn’t play with the RDSO. Baumbach has obviously recovered wonderfully, showing great flourish and nuanced emotion in her performance.

Pablo Montes, the 2014 Kiwanis festival winner, performed the first movement of Jacob’s bassoon concerto with a string orchestra. The tune ranges from sleepy and soothing to dance-like.

Montes, a colourful player with great command of his instrument, was capable of demonstrating its exceptional range.

“I think there should be more bassoon concerti, as they’re fun for the audience and people enjoy hearing them,” said Lapalme, who made a pitch for bassoons — considered by some to be a “funny” lightweight instrument — to be taken more seriously.

Certainly Montes, completing his Master’s degree at the University of Alberta, could lead this charge.

Such great Central Alberta talent leaves us anticipating what the next RDSO season will bring. lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

Protesters try to build support around controversial pianist’s Calgary concerts

With horns blaring from the rafters, and crashing cymbals and kettle drums pounding on stage, Saturday’s Bold Bolero concert just might be the loudest the RDSO has ever played.

“We were measured at 105 decibels,” forewarned the Red Deer Symphony Orchestra’s music director Claude Lapalme before musicians launched into their finale — Ottorino Respighi’s Pines of Rome at the Red Deer College Arts Centre.

Most of the LANA cacophony MICHELIN comes near the end of the piece, when a musical image is created of thousands of Roman soldiers marching along the Appian Way. Musicians in the expansive 60-member orchestra hammered away on their percussive instruments, sawed on strings and created a crescendo of woodwind sounds.

Brass instruments were played from the top of a metal staircase beside the stage.

This bombastic finale provided a memorable end to another season of great classical music — although at least one fan needed to shield her ears from the clamour.

Audience members leapt to their feet in applause for the Respighi work, which was inspired by the tall, high canopied pines around Italy’s capitol.

This wasn’t the evening’s only overt show of appreciation.

A standing ovation was actually earned by musicians playing all four pieces at Saturday’s concert. Even allowing for the demonstrative nature of Red Deer audiences, four standing ovations is an impressive and unusual achievement.

The big reaction was, in part, due to the dramatic sounds of the Respighi piece and Maurice Ravel’s Bolero, which started the concert.

An orchestra nearly twice as large as usual filled the stage for the Bolero.

Fake orca nearly drowns before it can scare sea lions

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PORTLAND, Ore. — When a 32-foot replica killer whale buzzed through the water to scare off hundreds of sea lions piled on Oregon docks, onlookers cheered. And then the dummy orca went belly-up.

The motorized fiberglass orca was brought to the seaside town of Astoria on Thursday as a sort of maritime Clint Eastwood called upon to deal with ne’er-do-wells, in this case sea lions crowding onto docks and making it difficult for locals to access their boats.

But the orca’s first day on the job was a flop.

About 1,000 people cheered as the dummy whale — with its human operator inside — took to the water Thursday night. Jim Knight, executive director of the Port of Astoria, said sea lions that were crowded onto the docks became “deathly silent.”

But as a cargo ship passed by, the phoney orca started to list from the vessel’s wake. And then the bogus orca capsized.

“Our crew from the port had to go rescue the operator so he didn’t drown,” Knight said.

So what did the sea lions thing about this spectacle?

“They probably think it’s dead now that it’s belly up,” Knight said. “You can’t make this stuff up.”

That was not the first fiasco for the dummy orca.

The replica whale, loaned by a whale-watching business, was delivered overland on Thursday from Bellingham, Washington. After arrival, the orca’s outboard motor flooded and a replacement had to be found.

Sea lion numbers along the West Coast have grown sharply since they were protected under a 1972 federal law. As water temperatures increase off the coast of California because of climate change, the animals have sought cooler waters to the north in Oregon. The sea lions who have been taking over docks at the Port of Astoria are also attracted by bountiful runs of salmon and smelt in the nearby Columbia River, biologists say.

While the thousands of tourists who visit Astoria each year might find the sea lions amusing, many locals see them as a nuisance. Officials say the sea lions break the docks, poop, smell, block access to boats and eat the fish on which the port’s fishing industry and the town’s economy depends.

The Port of Astoria has tried just about everything to keep the sea lions away — including beach balls, colorful tape, chicken wire and electrified mats. The fake orca was outfitted with recordings of real killer whale calls, especially the “call to dinner” — usually emitted in the wild after they kill a sea lion or seal.

YORK Elizabeth (Betty) Betty York of Red Deer passed away peacefully with family by her side at the Red Deer Regional Hospital on Sunday, May 24, 2015 at the age of 78 years. It is with heavy hearts we say good bye to our deeply devoted and loving Mother and NaNa. Betty was born December 4, 1936 in Opal, Alberta. She was the youngest of eight children, three brothers and four sisters. At an early age of 3, there was a tragedy which her father and brother were killed and her mother left with brain damage. She was raised in orphanages and then a convent until she went to live with her oldest sister (Mary), where she became a second Mom, helping to raise fifteen of Mary’s children. As she grew older, she went her own way.

At the age of 22, she met her loving husband (Gordon) and raised a family of their own.

Mom always enjoyed the outdoors, especially gardening and the farmers markets, where she became well known for her homemade perogies, baked goods, and antipasto. Betty will be lovingly remembered by her two sons; Mike (Cynthia) of Red Deer and Greg (Denise ) of Red Deer, one daughter, Sharon (Allen) of Red Deer and one step-daughter, Debbie (Clarence) of British Columbia. She will also be lovingly missed and never forgotten by her eleven grandchildren, six greatgrandchildren, numerous nieces and nephews, and her brother, Harry (Evelyn) Andruski.

Betty was predeceased by her parents; Steve and Julia Andruski, brothers; Peter and Paul, sisters; Ann, Mary, Vicky, and Katherine and her husband, Gordon.

A Memorial Tea will be held at Eventide Funeral Chapel, 4820-45 Street, Red Deer, on Wednesday, June 10, 2015 at 1:00 p.m.

Condolences may be forwarded to the family by visiting www.eventidefuneralchapels.com Arrangements entrusted to EVENTIDE FUNERAL CHAPEL 4820 - 45 Street, Red Deer.

D3 Prison escape ‘sophisticated’

MONDAY, JUNE 8, 2014

TWO KILLERS MUST HAVE TAKEN DAYS TO CUT THEIR WAY OUT; $100,000 REWARD POSTED

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DANNEMORA, N.Y. — Two murderers who used power tools to escape from a New York state prison must have taken days to cut through steel walls and pipes and break through the bricks, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Sunday as a $100,000 reward was posted for information leading to their capture.

Authorities were investigating how the inmates obtained the power tools they used in the breakout over the weekend.

“It was sophisticated plan,” Cuomo said. “It took a period of time, no doubt, to execute.”

To escape, the inmates had to cut into a steam pipe then shimmy “some distance,” Cuomo said, before cutting themselves out again. Their alleged path conjured images of “The Shawshank Redemption,” the 1994 film adaptation of a Stephen King story about an inmate’s carefully planned prison escape.

The two escapees were both convicted killers.

David Sweat, 34, was serving a sentence of life without parole for the 2002 killing of a sheriff’s deputy. Richard Matt, 48, had been sentenced to 25 years to life for kidnapping, killing and dismembering his former boss in 1997.

“These are killers. They are murderers,” the governor said. “There’s never been a question about the crimes they committed. They are now on the loose, and our first order of business is apprehending them.”

Officials gave no details on how the men managed to avoid detection while they were cutting their way out. Cuomo said someone must have heard at least some of the noise.

“They had to be heard,” Cuomo told ABC’s “Good Morning America.”

After the search for the two prisoners is over, authorities will conduct a full review of the escape, Cuomo said later Sunday.

“We’ll go through the exact details of what they did and how they did it to ensure this never happens again,” he said.

Authorities set up roadblocks and brought in bloodhounds and helicopters. Hundreds of law enforcement officers fanned out across the area around the prison, about 20 miles (30 kilometres) south of the Canadian border, following up on dozens of tips.

But authorities acknowledged they did not have a good idea of where

This photo provided by New York State Governor’s office shows Gov. Andrew Cuomo looking at the area where two convicted murderers used power tools to cut through steel pipes at a maximum-security prison in Dannemora, NY, near the Canadian border and escaped through a manhole, New York. The combination made from photos released by the New York State Police shows inmates David Sweat, left, and Richard Matt. Authorities on Saturday, June 6, 2015 said Sweat, 34, and Matt, 48, both convicted murderers, escaped from the Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, N.Y. the convicts could be. They may have crossed the border into Canada or headed to another state, Cuomo said.

“This is a crisis situation for the state,” he said. “These are dangerous men capable of committing grave crimes again.”

Prison officials found the inmates’ beds inside the 150-year-old Clinton Correctional Facility stuffed with clothes on Saturday morning in an apparent attempt to fool guards making their rounds. On a cut steam pipe, the

prisoners left a taunting note containing a crude Asian caricature and the words, “Have a nice day.”

Officials said the inmates cut through the steel wall at the back of their cell, crawled down a catwalk, broke through a brick wall, cut their way into and out of a steam pipe, and then sliced through the chain and lock on a manhole cover outside the prison.

It was the first escape from the maximum-security portion of the prison, which was built in 1865.

The men may have had assistance outside the prison, perhaps meeting up with someone who helped them leave the area, investigators said.

Cuomo said investigators were confident the men obtained the tools inside the prison. Acting Corrections Commissioner Anthony Annucci said an inventory of prison tools had so far shown none missing and he was in contact with contractors who were doing or had done work at the prison.

Blanca weakens to tropical storm as Mexico’s Baja California Peninsula girds for wind, rain

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CABO SAN LUCAS, Mexico — Hurricane Blanca was downgraded to a tropical storm Sunday as it neared the Baja California Peninsula, where residents boarded up home and storefront windows in preparation for the heavy rains and high winds that were forecast to lash a wide area including the resorts of Los Cabos.

After building into a powerful Category 4 hurricane on Saturday, Blanca quickly lost strength the following day.

It was expected to pass to the west of the peninsula’s southern tip, moving near or along its southwestern coastline at night and on Monday.

But with memories still fresh from Hurricane Odile, which battered ramshackle homes, stores and luxury hotels when it made a direct hit on Los Cabos as a Category 3 storm in September, authorities put thousands of troops on alert and issued maritime warnings.

Locals nailed down roofs and dragged food stands in from the beach in Cabo San Lucas, even as some tourists strolled the sand taking pictures of the cloudy skies and rising surf. Gusty winds whipped the tops of palm trees.

James Kicklighter, a Los Angeles film writer and director vacationing in Cabo San Lucas, said the wind was rattling windows and doors at his hotel, which took safety precautions includ-

ing closing the beach and pools, taking down light fixtures and artworks, and suspending alcohol and restaurant service.

Kicklighter said hotel workers advised him to close the curtains in his room and move the dresser to brace the glass doors to the patio.

“I’m not feeling very nervous at this point with the constant downgrades, but I have a healthy respect for hurricanes growing up with family in Florida,” he said via email. “People here are excited to ride it out, taking a lot of selfies.”

Mexico’s National Water Commission warned of strong winds, lightning, up to 20-foot (6-meter) surf and “extraordinary rainfall,” with possible localized accumulations of 10 inches (250 millimeters) or more in Baja California Sur state, which is home to Los Cabos.

Los Cabos Civil Protection director Wenceslao Pettit said conditions were calm and the area had begun to experience light rains associated with Blanca. He added that no evacuations were being carried out, but nine emergency shelters had been readied, and the port was closed to small watercraft.

Blanca’s maximum sustained winds decreased Sunday to near 70 mph (110 kph), according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center. The storm’s centre was about 130 miles (210 kilometres) south-southwest of Cabo San Lucas and moving north-northwest near 9 mph (15 kph).

TORONTO — The Department of Foreign Affairs says it is assisting two Canadians barred from leaving Malaysia, amid reports that the pair could be charged after allegedly posing naked atop Mount Kinabalu, the country’s highest peak.

Spokesman Nicolas Doire says the department is aware that two Canadians have been prevented from leaving the country, adding that Canadian consular officials in Malaysia are in contact with local authorities.

Foreign Affairs could not confirm the identity of the Canadians, citing privacy concerns, but Malaysia’s foreign affairs ministry identified them to The Canadian Press as Canadian siblings Lindsey Petersen and Danielle Petersen.

A magnitude 5.9 earthquake on Friday sent rocks and boulders raining down the trekking routes on 4,095-metre-high Mount Kinabalu in eastern Sabah state on Borneo island.

Search efforts for six missing climbers continued on Sunday, after rescuers recovered 13 dead from a strong earthquake that had trapped scores of trekkers.

Sabah Deputy Chief Minister Joseph Pairin Kitingan blamed the tragedy on

Israeli prime minister criticizes what he calls the world’s ’silence’ on Gaza rocket attacks

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS JERUSALEM — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday criticized what he described as the world’s “silence” over recent rocket attacks from the Gaza Strip, drawing a quick response from his country’s closest ally, the U.S. Netanyahu, speaking at his weekly Cabinet meeting, said he hadn’t heard anyone condemn three rocket attacks from Gaza over the past two weeks.

a group of 10 foreigners who “showed disrespect to the sacred mountain” by posing naked at the peak last week.

He said a special ritual would be conducted later to “appease the mountain spirit.”

Officials have said a group of foreigners — including two Canadians — broke away from their entourage and stripped naked before taking photos at the mountain peak on May 30.

Floyd Petersen said he was unaware of the allegations against his son and daughter but said they were travelling through Southeast Asia and had not informed him of the alleged incident.

“Would you tell your parents you did this?” he said from his home in Wood Mountain, Sask. on Saturday, adding that the pair only called him periodically from their trip. “I don’t have anything to say, I’m just absorbing this.”

Local media reported Sunday that a senior official with the Sabah Parks said the Canadians could face charges in a native court for allegedly violating local native laws.

The Malaysian Insider reports that Datuk Seri Tengku Zainal Adlin told reporters at the Sabah Park headquarters in Kundasang on Sunday that the tourists were in police custody in Kota Kinabalu and could be charged as early as Monday.

The rockets caused no damage, nor any injuries.

“It will be interesting to see if this silence continues when we use all our strength in exercising our right to defend ourselves,” Netanyahu said. “It should be clear: the hypocrisy that is sweeping the world will not chain our hands from defending the citizens of Israel.”

In Germany, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said U.S. officials had spent “a lot of time talking about this” during Israel’s recent war with Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

“This is not the first time that I’ve stood at a podium like this and strongly condemned rocket attacks by extremists in Gaza against innocent Israeli citizens,” Earnest said. “Clearly, the United States stands with the nation of Israel as they defend their nation and their people from these attacks.”

Netanyahu’s comments come amid strained relations with U.S. President Barack Obama.

Cycling science to inspire youth

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BOSTON — Seven students from Harvard and MIT are cycling across America, stopping in many rural towns to get kids interested in science through hands-on workshops to program computers, launch model rockets and build robots.

The students hope to inspire the next generation of scientists and use the workshops — they call them “learning festivals” — to brush off dusty stereotypes.

“We’re trying to break as many of the stereotypes as possible. For science, you think of people in lab coats with grey hair,” said group member Drew Bent, a freshman studying physics and electrical engineering at MIT. “We’re coming into the festivals with bikes. We want to show that engineering can be glamorous, and that a lot of us are athletes.”

The project is called Spokes, a collaboration that started in 2013 when a group of students from different colleges embarked on a trip that was part endurance challenge, road trip and teaching experience. Since then, each year’s members have recruited the next year’s group. This year, students left from Washington, D.C., on June 1 and will finish in California in August, with plans to host a dozen workshops along the way at schools and libraries.

After finishing their ride in Sausalito, California, the group will head back home, but they’ll stay connected to some of the students they meet. For the first time, the group is awarding 10 grants of $1,000 to pay for student in-

In this June 1, 2015 photo provided by Drew Bent, seven students from Harvard and MIT pose with their bicycles at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington. The seven are participating in a project called Spokes and are cycling across America, stopping in many rural towns to get students interested in science through hands-on workshops. ventions that solve real-world problems. Along with the money, grant winners will be paired with Harvard and MIT students to serve as mentors.

“We want to get students excited about engineering,” Bent said, “but the real question is, ’How can we sustain this excitement after we leave?”’

At the workshops, Spokes members invite students from

grades 6 to 12 to tackle experiments that pack lessons in engineering and computer science. Participants study aerodynamics and then blast gunpowder-fueled model rockets hundreds of feet skyward.

They learn about electrical circuits and then assemble simple motorized robots.

The goal is to give students memorable lessons that get

them thinking about careers in science and math.

“We can’t teach them programming in a day, but we can get them excited about programming,” Bent said.

On a route that spans 4,000 miles (6,400 kilometres), the group typically skips big cities in favour of rural towns. They target areas where schools might not have the resourc-

es for flashy experiments, and where careers in science aren’t always visible. The first workshop is planned for June 12 in Hazard, Kentucky, with a population of 5,400.

“A lot of these communities are hard to reach and aren’t along the beaten path,” said Simon Shuham, a Harvard sophomore. In contrast, he added, many students at Harvard had the benefit of strong science programs back home.

All of the students in Spokes are studying science fields, but they come from a range of backgrounds. One is from Iran and another from Chile. Two are women. All share an interest in teaching and got help crafting their lessons from Teach for America, a national group that places teachers in rural and innercity areas.

As a tuneup for the tour, the group hosted a workshop in May with seventh- and eighthgrade students at the Grammar School in Putney, Vermont — a 115-student school one of the Spokes members attended.

Seventh-grader Ethan Cameron was part of a class that learned the basics of computer programming. He and other students shouted verbal computer commands to move a Spokes member from his helmet to his bicycle, and then used code to create computer animations.

“I’m not the most interested in computers, but it makes me want to learn more about computers work and how things are programmed,” Cameron said later.

The workshop challenged students, but they embraced the lessons, said Paul Hopkins, a science teacher at the school.

Police in Hungary detain 6 activists for vandalizing government’s anti-immigration billboard BUDAPEST, Hungary — Police in Hungary say they have detained six activists suspected of vandalizing a billboard promoting the government’s anti-immigration campaign.

Police said Sunday that five of the six activists acknowledged committing the minor offence and were later released. The activists from the Egyutt (Together) opposition party could be fined.

Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s government has been setting up billboards with messages like “If you come to Hungary, you cannot take away Hungarians’ jobs.”

A questionnaire on the issue sent to all voters has been criticized by human rights groups for linking migration to terrorism and attempting to confuse refugees with economic migrants.

The billboards are in Hungarian and are unlikely to be understood by migrants or asylum seekers, who have increased in numbers recently although nearly all quickly move further west.

11 teenagers from sports club drown in Atlantic off Moroccan coast RABAT, Morocco — Authorities say 11 teenagers have drowned in the Atlantic during a beach outing just south of the Moroccan capital after they were carried away by waves.

The report by the state news agency said five bodies have been recovered and six others are still missing and presumed drowned following lengthy searches by police of the waters near the town of Bouznika on Sunday. Two were saved from drowning.

The victims were participating in an outing by a sports club from the nearby town of Ben Slimane that involved 46 people, mostly between the ages of 12 and 17.

Searches for the victims were carried out with two helicopters and a zodiac.

governorships and hundreds of mayors and local officials.

Midterm elections usually draw light turnout, but attention was unusually high this time as a loose coalition of radical teachers’ unions and activists vowed to block the vote.

The teachers’ demands include wage hikes, an end to teacher testing and the safe return of 42 missing students from a radical teachers’ college.

Those students disappeared in September, and prosecutors say they were killed and incinerated by a drug gang.

One student’s remains were identified

by DNA testing.

Protesters burned at least seven ballot boxes and election materials in Tixtla, the Guerrero state town where the teachers’ college is located.

Soon after, there was an exchange of rock-throwing between protesters and hundreds of people who said they intended to defend their right to vote.

There were no immediate reports of injuries.

Ballot boxes were also destroyed in the southern states of Chiapas and Oaxaca. In Oaxaca’s capital, masked protesters emptied a vehicle of ballots, boxes and voting tables and burned the material in the main square.

The state government reported 88 arrests related to the destruction of election materials and disturbances in the capital, Tuxtepec and Salina Cruz.

In Monterrey, two political parties reported that armed men were intimidating voters in three towns near the border with Texas.

MEXICO CITY — Mexico’s first independent gubernatorial candidate was leading in exit polls as voting closed Sunday in central states after an election marred by sporadic outbursts of violence.

In elections seen as a litmus test for President Enrique Pena Nieto, the candidate of his Institutional Revolutionary Party appeared to be losing in the key northern state of Nuevo Leon, where independent Jaime Rodriguez, known as “El Bronco,” had at least a 6-point lead in exit polls conducted by the television network TV Azteca and other media.

The margin of error in the Azteca survey, however, was 3.8 percentage points. The ruling party candidate, Ivonne Alvarez, acknowledged the vote was close.

Rodriguez’s popularity in a state that is home to the business hub of Monterrey was attributed to voters’ disgust with all political parties, each with its own corruption scandals.

This was the first election in the country allowing unaffiliated candi-

dates, thanks to an electoral reform last year.

The horseback-riding, boot-clad, tough-talking Rodriguez earned his nickname after he survived two assassination attempts that left his car bullet-ridden as mayor of a suburb of Monterrey.

He said the attacks were from a drug cartel.

His support harkens back to 2000, when another plainspoken cowboy candidate, Vicente Fox, managed to topple the PRI’s 71-year rule and win the presidency for the opposition National Action Party.

Pena Nieto’s PRI is seeking to preserve its commanding position in Congress, despite the president’s diminished popularity Protesters burned ballot boxes in several restive states of southern Mexico in an attempt to disrupt elections, but officials said the vote was proceeding satisfactorily despite “isolated incidents.”

Anthrax flashback ANTHRAX ISSUE REMINISCENT OF EARLIER TESTING DEBACLE UNCOVERED BY CANADA ‘CLEARLY IT JUST SHOWS YOU THAT PEOPLE CAN MAKE VERY STUPID MISTAKES EVEN WITH THEORETICAL OVERSIGHT.’

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — There is a deja vu feeling around the evolving news out of the United States about live anthrax being sent to unsuspecting laboratories.

A decade ago, labs around the world were placed in a similarly risky situation when unmarked vials containing a type of influenza virus that could have caused a flu pandemic were sent out in error.

Back then a blunder in an unidentified British Columbia lab brought the mistake to light, potentially preventing a disaster.

Both cases underscore how critical it is to have good systems for managing dangerous pathogens — and how easy it is for a serious problem to occur, says Dr. Mel Krajden of the British Columbia Centre for Disease Control.

“Clearly it just shows you that people can make very stupid mistakes even with theoretical oversight,” says Krajden, associate medical director for the BCCDC’s public health microbiology and reference laboratory.

“The fact that this has occurred illustrates that we have to be super, super careful when managing these kinds of agents.”

In both cases the dangerous pathogens were contained in prepared kits laboratories use to test how good they are at detecting pathogens.

In the current case the U.S. Department of Defence has discovered that one of its facilities, Dugway Proving Ground in Utah, put live anthrax in a test kit it disseminated.

The anthrax, which was supposed to be inactivated — killed — was in unlabelled vials. (That’s part of the test: Can your lab staff figure out what this

— DR. MEL KRAJDEN BRITISH COLUMBIA CENTRE FOR DISEASE CONTROL

contains?)

Initially it was thought the anthrax went to a small number of labs.

But the more authorities investigate, the bigger the problem becomes.

LastWednesday the U.S. Department of Defence acknowledged that more than four dozen laboratories in the U.S. and abroad were sent the faulty kits.

And the investigation is not over.

Three of the kits came to Canada, with two going to a Department of National Defence facility in Suffield, Alta., and one to the National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg. Federal officials said Tuesday none of the kits had been used in more than five years and all were in secure storage.

The earlier test kit debacle was bigger, and potentially much more serious a threat.

In April 2005 somewhere between 4,700 and 5,700 laboratories in 18 countries, including Canada, were told to destroy part of a proficiency test kit they received from the College of American Pathologists.

The problem: The kits contained a vial of an unspecified live influenza virus that labs were meant to try to identify.

It was actually H2N2, which caused the 1957 pandemic known as the Asian flu.

The influenza A virus circulated for nine years and then disappeared when the virus responsible for the 1968 pandemic — H3N2 — displaced it.

Many people born before 1968 would have been

infected by H2N2 and therefore would have some antibodies to protect against it. But anyone born after 1968 — in 2005 that meant anyone under age 36 or 37 — would have had no protection against the virus.

If someone working with the unlabelled virus had contracted H2N2 and transmitted it to others, the virus could have taken off and triggered a global wave of flu infections and deaths.

The head of the World Health Organization’s global pandemic program said at the time that while the mistake had the potential to trigger a global health emergency, a number of bad breaks would have had to happen to trigger disaster.

But it was lab error that led to the discovery in the first place.

A B.C. lab that had received one of the kits informed the national laboratory that someone in that province had tested positive for H2N2. The B.C. lab thought it had spotted the re-emergence of the virus.

Investigation at the time revealed that the H2N2 virus had not come from a patient.

The patient’s sample had been contaminated with virus from the vial in the proficiency kit.

“People who should know better make mistakes,” Krajden says.

“So I think the concern is figuring out how you prevent this kind of stuff from occurring.”

Female Viagara equivalent finally approved by FDA THOUGH REJECTED TWICE, SAFETY MEASURES PUT IN PLACE WASHINGTON — The drug industry’s decadespanning search for a female equivalent to Viagra took a major step forward Thursday, as government experts recommended approval for a pill to boost sexual desire in women.

The first-of-a-kind endorsement came with safety reservations, however, due to drug side effects including fatigue, low blood pressure and fainting.

The panel of Food and Drug Administration advisers voted 18-6 in favour of Sprout Pharmaceutical’s daily pill, flibanserin, on the condition that the company develops a plan to manage its risks.

The recommendation is a major victory for a drug sometimes hailed as “female Viagra,” but which has been plagued for years by concerns of lacklustre effectiveness and safety issues. The FDA has rejected the drug twice since 2010. And a similar panel of FDA experts voted unanimously against the drug five years ago.

Thursday’s vote is non-binding but the FDA often follows the advice of its experts. An official decision is expected in August.

A spokeswoman for Sprout said Friday that the company has not yet submitted an application for approval of the drug to Health Canada.

FDA’s experts acknowledged that flibanserin’s effect is not very strong, but said there is a need for FDA-approved drugs to address female sexual problems.

“These are very modest results,” said Dr. Julia Heiman of the Kinsey Institute at Indiana University. “But on the other hand, even modest results can make a lot of difference when you’re at a certain point in the clinical problem.”

In general, women taking flibanserin reported between 0.5 and 1 more sexually satisfying event per month, compared with women taking a placebo. They also scored higher on questionnaires measuring desire and scored lower on measures of stress.

Flibanserin, which acts on serotonin and other brain chemicals, was originally studied as an antidepressant, but then repurposed as a libido pill after women reported higher levels of sexual satisfaction.

The effort to trigger sexual interest through brain chemistry is the drug industry’s latest attempt to address women’s sexual problems.

Since the blockbuster launch of Pfizer’s Viagra in 1998, dozens of therapies have been studied for so-called female sexual dysfunction, an umbrella term for various problems with libido, arousal and orgasm. But problems with women’s sexual desire have proven resistant to drugs that act on blood flow, hormones and other simple biological functions.

Panelists raised concerns about several safety issues with flibanserin, especially low blood pressure and fainting. Those problems increased when

patients combined the drug with alcohol and some commonly-used medications, including antifungal drugs. Sprout studied the drug’s alcohol interaction in a small study of 25 patients, most of whom were men.

“We really know almost nothing about the actual clinical effects of using this product together with alcohol,” said Dr. Tobias Gerhard of Rutgers University. “We have some indication that there is clearly a concern from very small studies.”

Several panelists said language warning of the risks of using the drug with alcohol or with several other drugs should appear on the label. The company should also be required to educate prescribers about the risk and conduct follow-up studies, the experts said.

More than 30 public speakers urged the panel to back flibanserin, including several patients who received the drug during company studies.

“I want to want my husband, it is that simple,” said Amanda Parrish, a mother of four from Nashville Tenn. “For us, flibanserin is a relationship-

saving and life-changing drug.”

Many others argued that the FDA has unfairly overlooked therapies for women while approving several erectile dysfunction drugs for men. Sprout Pharmaceuticals and other drugmakers have made that claim the centre of an aggressive lobbying campaign called “Even the Score.”

Critics of Sprout were also on hand, criticizing that lobbying push and defending FDA’s previous rejections.

“To approve this drug would set the worst kind of precedent: that companies that spend enough money can force the FDA to approve useless and dangerous drugs,” said Dr. Adriane Fugh-Berman of Georgetown University.

If approved, flibanserin would be labeled for premenopausal women with hypoactive sexual desire disorder, described as a lack of sexual appetite that causes emotional distress. Doctors must rule out a number of alternate causes before diagnosing the condition, including depression, relationship problems and mood disorders.
