100,807 strong RED DEER SURPASSES POPULATION MILESTONE

BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF

RESIDENTS KEPT GUESSING ABOUT ‘SURPRISE’ A2

Red Deer has done what no Alberta city has done for 70 years — surpass the 100,000 population mark.

Mayor Tara Veer announced that the City of Red Deer has grown to 100,807 on Thursday during a highly-anticipated announcement on the steps of

City Hall.

That means 2,222 new residents now call Red Deer home, a 2.2 per cent increase over 2014, according to figures from the recently completed city census.

“Over the last few years, Red Deer has marked so many milestones,” said Veer. “We had our cen-

tennial. We won the Canada Winter Games. There’s energy and momentum in this great city that we call home. Surpassing the 100,000 population threshold marks a new day.”

The full census results are expected to be released in the coming days.

POLITICS

Rookie NDP MLA elected Speaker

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — The accidental candidate is now the 13th Speaker of the Alberta legislature.

Bob Wanner, the New Democrat MLA for Medicine Hat who replaced another candidate during the election campaign, won a majority of the secret votes of his 86 legislature colleagues Thursday.

He defeated Progressive Conservative member Dave Rodney.

After the 66-year-old rookie MLA won, he was — as per parliamentary tradition — mock-dragged to the Speaker’s chair by Premier Rachel Not- Bob Wanner ley and Opposition Wildrose Leader Brian Jean.

The job is historically viewed as a thankless one and therefore requires the winner to be ceremonially persuaded by force to accept it.

“We must find a way of working together and making this great province and its great people a better place than when we found it,” Wanner said in his first speech from the canopied mahogany chair.

He replaces Gene Zwozdesky, a Progressive Conservative who lost his seat in the NDP majority election victory last month.

Wanner was expected to win the balloting. Last month, he revealed that the entire NDP caucus, acting on a motion by Notley, had agreed he would be the party’s candidate.

The Opposition Wildrose and PC parties didn’t like that. They suggested the ad hoc NDP closed-door vote — and Wanner’s subsequent public boasting that he would have more access to cabinet ministers — damaged the position’s neutrality.

Wanner later made it clear his intent was to rule on issues without fear or favour.

On Thursday, the Wildrose urged three other members of the legislature — Stephanie McLean and Marie Renaud of the NDP and Sandra Jansen of the PCs — to run for Speaker, but they declined.

Wanner’s key role will be to steer debate in the legislature, make sure all sides are heard and ensure that parliamentary rules are followed.

Pine Lake RV park at centre of fraud allegations

BY ADVOCATE STAFF An Edmonton man is facing fraud allegations for collecting more than $2.5 million in investment money for a Pine Lake RV park that was never developed.

In an Alberta Securities Commission notice of hearing, the allegations laid out against Saileshwar Rao Narayan, known as Sal Naryan, include breach of undertaking and illegal distribution, dealing without representation, prohibited presentations and fraud.

According to the notice, between April 12, 2012, and May 23, 2012, the Prosperity Development Group raised more than $2.5 million from Alberta investors.

An offering memorandum dated March 26, 2012, stated that the group was a development startup raising funds to purchase property overlooking Pine Lake. That property was to be converted into an RV park.

In total, the Alberta Securities Commission said Narayan raised $3.4 million under the auspices of developing an RV park.

It is alleged the development company used investors’ money to purchase a 28.64-acre (11.59-hectare) piece of land on the southern shore of Pine Lake.

However, no application for development or rezoning of the property was ever made.

None of these allegations have been proven in court.

A hearing is scheduled for July 8 in Calgary.

Rain gives relief to wildfire hazard

BY ADVOCATE STAFF The wildfire hazard for the Rocky Wildfire Management Area remains high despite recent rain and precipitation forecast for the weekend.

Janelle Lane, wildfire information officer with Alberta Environment and Parks, said 20 to 30 mm of rain are predicted for much of the province.

“That amount of rain will definitely give us some relief in the wildfire hazard, however we’re going on about 10 weeks of dry, dry weather. So a little bit of rain, while it will give us some temporary relief, we are anticipating this wildfire season to still continue with some fervour for sure,” Lane said on Thursday.

Wednesday night’s storm produced one small lightning fire southwest of Strachan in the Rocky area that was extinguished by Thursday afternoon.

Another fire in the garbage dump at O’Chiese First Nation, discovered on May 21, remains under control and continues to be monitored.

ROCKY WILDFIRE MANAGEMENT AREA Since April 1, Rocky Wildfire Management Area has seen 84 wildfires, including 10 confirmed lightning fires.

Lane said the number of lightning fires kicks up in July during summer storm season. Last year, 60 per cent of fires in Alberta were started by lightning.

“A big portion of our firefighting efforts go into fighting lightning-caused wildfires. That’s why it’s so important for Albertans to report wildfires if they do see them by calling 310-FIRE. It’s a lot easier for us to get a wildfire under control when we catch them early.”

The province has 127 lookouts staffed to watch for smoke, lightning monitor systems are in place, and firefighters in helicopters patrol after storms, she said.

Industry talks to Alberta Labour minister about raising minimum wage Several industry officials met with Alberta Labour Minister Lori Sigurdson Thursday to give their input on raising minimum wage.

Mark von Schellwitz of Restaurants Canada says liquor servers don’t need to be boosted to $15 per hour because they make a lot of money in tips.

The industry says restaurants and bars should still be allowed to pay a lower rate to servers and young people in their first jobs should be paid less.

Lanny McGinnis of Retail Council of Canada says customers will suffer from a lower standard of service, because employers will cut back on workers.

Debbie Foisey, president of the Greenhouse Growers Association, says the students they hire start at minimum wage, but their wages don’t stay there.

Sigurdson says the minimum wage will be $15 per hour by 2018 — Alberta’s current minimum wage is $10.20, among the lowest in Canada.

The first increase will be announced July 1 to take effect Oct. 1.

BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF Social media was abuzz with excitement as the City of Red Deer kept residents guessing about its “surprise” announcement this week.

Mayor Tara Veer said her social media feeds were blowing up with residents taking their best shot at the community news.

The city wanted to keep the news under wraps to build up the excitement for the community milestone.

Residents took to Twitter and Facebook to take a stab at the news since the city first said earlier this week that it had a “surprise” announcement to make on Thursday.

For some, the predictions seemed more like a

The tipping point, he said, was a plaintive cellphone call from his 15-year-old granddaughter.

Case in point, some guessed that the Phoenix Coyotes were relocating to Red Deer and a new Disneyland theme park would be built in the city.

Many people guessed a Red Lobster and Olive Garden would be added to Red Deer’s restaurant scene.

Others suggested a Ferris wheel and pinball tables would be added to the downtown landscape.

All wrong.

Instead, Veer shared the results of the 2015 census — Red Deer now boasts a population of 100,807, a 2.2 per cent increase over 2014.

Mayor Tara Veer and City manager Craig Curtis revealed a plaque celebrating a historic milestone in the city — reaching a population of 100,807 — at City Hall Park on Thursday.

DARE TO COMPARE • DARE TO COMPARE • DARE TO COMPARE

Veer said reaching the milestone elevates the city’s leadership, profile and positioning in the province and in country.

Red Deer is the first mid-sized city in Alberta to reach the milestone. Lethbridge is kicking at Red Deer’s heels with a population of 93,004, according to its 2014 census. This year’s Lethbridge census will be released by the end of June.

Veer said that Red Deer continues to be a desirable place for new people to put down roots.

Only 20 years ago, Red Deer was a young city with 59,834 residents. The city’s population has grown on average by three per cent over several years. In 2005, the population reached 79,082, and jumped to 90,084 in 2010.

City manager Craig Curtis said he anticipates the city’s population will double by 2035.

“Calgary was 100,000 post-war era,” said Curtis.

“Since then, of course, it has grown to the metropolitan area it is today. We are looking at growing in the next 18 to 20 years to doubling to 200,000.”

Both Calgary and Edmonton passed the 100,000 population milestone in the 1940s.

Curtis said this is a defining moment and game changer for Red Deer. He said it is easy to say it’s just a number but it opens up many doors for the city.

It means the city will have access to new funding envelopes and research opportunities that are based on population.

A plaque marking the 100,807 population milestone will be put up in the historic City Hall gardens to commemorate the occasion.

Next week, the city will announce a contest to find Red Deer’s 100,000th citizen to celebrate.

2015 census highlights: ● Strongest growth neighbourhoods were in Timberlands (529 new residents) and Vanier Woods (425 new residents). ● The city is also getting older as it grows, with the average age now 37, compared to 31 in 2014. ● The gender divide is drawing closer: 48.1 per cent female and 48.2 per cent men. ● Top 10 languages spoken in the city other than English, in order: Tagalog, Spanish, French, Chinese, Korean, Arabic, Ukrainian, Cantonese, Russian and Vietnamese. ● The total number of households is 42,034. ● In 1898, there were 125 residents living in Red Deer compared to the 100,807 today. crhyno@reddeeradvocate.com

Cop killer hated police, others

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — Norman Raddatz railed online about police, courts and paying taxes and spewed derogatory terms about black people and homosexuals.

The 42-year-old refrigerator repairman killed an Edmonton officer earlier this week, when the constable showed up with an arrest warrant at Raddatz’s front door. Raddatz died in his home shortly after the shooting as the house went up in flames.

A source says Raddatz had a Facebook account under the name Dino Stomper.

In May and August of 2014, parking tickets were posted on the page for vehicles parked outside Raddatz’s bungalow. Two tickets were for an old motorhome that was eventually towed because it had been parked too long on the street.

Raddatz complained it had been stolen.

“Unlawful seizure without warrant or just cause, and I was threatened with arrest!!” he wrote, adding those against him would be held accountable for trespassing and harassment.

“They will have to drag me to court by force. I will not voluntarily enter a corrupt admiralty court.”

Police have said they were investigating Raddatz

for anti-Semitic bullying of an Edmonton man and his family dating back to February 2014. They feared for their safety and filed a complaint a few months ago.

Eight officers went to Raddatz’s home on Monday night and bullets started flying through the front door. Const. Daniel Woodall, a 35-year-old officer in the hate-crimes unit, was killed. A second officer was shot in the back but survived because of his bullet-proof vest.

The other officers were pinned down by gunfire for 10 minutes. More than 50 bullet holes were later found in the house and garage across the street.

The agency that investigates serious police incidents said Thursday that an autopsy confirmed that a body found in the basement of the burned-out home was Raddatz and that he died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound before the house went up in flames.

Neighbours have described him as an unfriendly, divorced father who drank, was out of work and didn’t take care of his home. He had a small dog and sometimes put dog feces on top of his fence to irritate those living next door.

Court documents show a bank had foreclosed on his house and it was for sale.

“By the time we’ve paid the mortgage, filled the fridge, paid utilities, paid insurance and filled the

Alberta’s energy minister defends key staffer

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — Alberta’s energy minister is defending her new chief of staff despite his recent work for an anti-pipeline lobby group.

Marg McCuaig-Boyd said Graham Mitchell worked briefly earlier this year for Vancouver-based LeadNow but strictly in an administrative capacity.

She said Mitchell, while listed as executive director and registered lobbyist for LeadNow, did not do any lobbying and is in lockstep with the Alberta NDP’s policy to grow and improve market access for oil.

“He was just doing admin- Marg McCuaig-Boyd istrative processes for (LeadNow’s) office for a short period of time,” McCuaigBoyd told reporters Thursday.

“Because he was interim executive director he had to be on the lobby list.

“He totally supports the position we have here in Alberta in our energy program.”

Mitchell was vetted and hired as chief of staff by the premier’s office before McCuaig-Boyd was appointed minister on May 24.

Leela Aheer, energy critic for the Opposition Wildrose party, said hiring Mitchell sends a troubling message to an already jittery oil and gas industry.

“It seems very contradictory in what’s needed now for stability in the energy sector,” said Aheer.

According to federal government records, LeadNow has lobbied to have Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s cabinet scupper Enbridge’s Northern Gateway pipeline.

It has also lobbied to get the National Energy Board to open hearings on TransCanada’s proposed Energy East line to the public and to also take into

account the effect of the line on climate change.

It’s another step in what has become a wary relationship between Premier Rachel Notley’s NDP and Alberta’s bedrock industry since Notley’s team won a majority government in the May 5 election.

The NDP has promised to review royalties, hike corporate taxes, bring in new climate change rules, introduce an energy efficiency policy, accelerate the phase out of coal-fired electricity generation, and ban gas drilling in urban areas.

Notley made headlines in the closing days of the campaign when she announced her government would write off the Northern Gateway project as a non-starter hopelessly entangled in environmental and jurisdictional red tape.

Northern Gateway would take Alberta bitumen through B.C. to coastal tankers for eventual shipment to Asia.

Notley has also said she will take a wait-and-see approach to the forthcoming decision from the U.S. State Department on whether to approve TransCanada Corp’s Keystone XL line to take Alberta crude diagonally across North America to refineries and ports in Texas.

But Notley has said she favours the Energy East project to ship bitumen to refineries in New Brunswick.

LeadNow has little love for Energy East, saying on its website that the line “would carry 1.1 million barrels of toxic bitumen to the coast every day, threaten communities and waterways in six provinces, and pump 32 million tonnes of global warming pollution into the atmosphere every year.”

David MacLean with Alberta Enterprise Group is among those shocked at the move.

“To appoint an activist who clearly has his mind made up about the Alberta energy industry — I mean, his organization has said that the energy industry in Alberta isn’t a big player economically in Canada. That’s false,” said MacLean. “They’re opposed to pipelines across Canada, and that’s not a good fit in the Energy Department, of all places.”

fuel tanks, we’ve been taxed at over 80%,” said another Facebook post. “Most forget that all purchases have hidden taxes. Example: a green pepper should not cost $1.99 at Safeway.”

Raddatz noted that American families are evicted from foreclosed homes at gunpoint by SWAT teams.

He referred to police as “pigs” and homosexuals as “sodomites” and exchanged messages with a friend against Jewish people.

He liked music by Sarah McLachlan and, although Rihanna is a “talented girl,” described her using a racial slur.

A former co-worker has said Raddatz had a reputation as a racist. Another former colleague, the man who made the hate-crime complaint against him, declined an interview.

Raddatz had 15 friends listed on Facebook, including one believed to be his dog.

Alana Holtby, another friend, wrote a post on her Facebook page the day after the shooting: “Mental illness and depression can make the world a very dark place, and I’m sorry that none of us could have made it a little bit brighter for you.

“I know that the officer deserves just as much respect. But today I will mourn you Norm and I will be there for everyone that knew you.”

Family of convicted teacher uncertain about police probe

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — The family of a Canadian teacher imprisoned in Indonesia on widely criticized childabuse convictions says the police officers who handled the controversial case are now under investigation.

But Neil Bantleman’s brother said it’s hard to say what might come of the probe by the National Police Commission, noting that the case has been plagued with problems from the start.

“My personal thought is that they’re just doing it as a perfunctory type of review and I don’t know if it’s going to show much difference in what we’ve seen so far,” Guy Bantleman said Thursday.

“The oversight of all the law officials, the judiciary, it’s kind of managed within itself, so at some point you start to get a little concerned that there’s no real independent body making this review.”

Indonesian media reported that public inquiries about alleged irregularities by law enforcers in the case had sparked the commission’s investigation.

Neil Bantleman’s family has repeatedly called the case against the 46-year-old Burlington, Ont., teacher a mind-boggling one.

Bantleman and a teaching assistant were both working at the elite Jakarta Intercultural School when they were arrested last July following reports from parents of a six-year-old boy who claimed to have been sodomized. Police had already arrested five janitors who worked at the school on charges of child sexual assault in relation to the case.

Bantleman and the teaching assistant, Ferdinant Tjiong, were then charged with sexually abusing three children at the school, underwent a trial that saw conflicting evidence, and were eventually convicted in April, and sentenced to 10 years in prison.

Both men maintained their innocence throughout and frequently voiced criticisms about the fairness and transparency of the trial which saw medical reports from three different hospitals show no major injuries or abnormalities in the three children.

Alberta’s youth flourish BUT IDEAS SUCH AS RAISING THE MINIMUM WAGE BY 50 PER CENT COULD CHANGE THAT

BY MARK MILKE SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE When any new government takes power, temptations abound to do something different merely to distinguish itself from the regime it replaced.

That’s understandable political behaviour, but overhaul too much on policy and you court disaster — such as sinking Alberta’s healthy jobs market, which has been the envy of much of Canada.

Consider young adults. The new government recently hinted that young Albertans need help. One of its ideas is to jack up the minimum wage by almost 50 per cent over three years — this when the cost of living might only rise by two per cent annually. And I’m being “generous” on inflation estimates. The rise in Alberta’s consumer price index over the past year was just 0.7 per cent.

I’ll reserve additional thoughts on the minimum wage for another time.

Here, I’ll explore this question: What province has been the best for young adults in recent years?

Hands down, it’s been Alberta. We know this in part from interprovin-

cial migration patterns, a signal as to where young adults spotted economic opportunity.

For example, on a net basis, between mid-2003 to mid-2013, Alberta gained 60,855 people from the 25 to 34 age group, followed by British Columbia (10,643) and Saskatchewan (581).

During that same period, every other province bled young adults on a net basis, including Quebec (-24,355) and Ontario (- 27,451).

What explains this westward migration? Private-sector business investment, which creates the jobs young adults (and everyone else) seek.

From 2003 to 2013, of the almost $1.9 trillion in private-sector business investment in all 10 provinces (excluding residential investment), Alberta attracted $654 billion — or 35 per cent.

The next largest destination for private investment: Ontario at $458 billion, or 24 per cent.

As a result of all that investment, how did that young adult, career-age cohort do on the jobs front?

The 10-year average annual unemployment rate (2004 to 2013) for the young career class was significantly higher in Quebec (7.3 per cent) and Ontario (7.1 per cent) when compared

with Alberta (4.2 per cent) and Saskatchewan (4.8 per cent). And remember, Alberta had the highest in-migration of any province. In other words, those who moved to Alberta found jobs.

Moreover, in Alberta, during the same 10-year period, the average annual unemployment rate among 25 to 34 year olds who never completed high school was 9.6 per cent compared to Ontario (17 per cent) and Quebec (17.

2 per cent). The national average was 15.8 per cent. For those who completed high school, Alberta’s rate (5.5 per cent) was again the lowest in the country, and far below the national average (8.7 per cent).

It was the same story among those with a post-secondary certificate or diploma: Alberta (3.8 per cent) bested the national annual average (6.3 per cent).

And finally, among university graduates, Alberta was edged out by Saskatchewan, which had the lowest average annual unemployment rate (3.3 per cent) among the 25-34 cohort, followed

by Alberta (3.4 per cent) and Manitoba (3.5 per cent).

Here again, though, recall how Alberta, B.C. and Saskatchewan netted

additional career-age young adults while other provinces saw them flock westward.

At this point, someone usually argues that Alberta, B.C. and Saskatchewan have been lucky to have oil, gas and potash, in-demand commodities.

But as I often must point out, that’s simplistic: The presence of underground resource wealth is no guarantee of prosperity above-ground.

If that were true, Venezuela and Argentina would both have Western Canada’s prosperity. But they don’t, in part because of poor, anti-market antiprosperity policy — that, and inattention to the basics of good governance such as independent courts, property rights, the rule of law and other foundational elements for prosperity.

Here’s the point. If the new Alberta government wants to see young adults succeed in Alberta, it shouldn’t get in the way of the job-creation machine by damaging the possibility for private investment to flourish.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

A hair-raising account of political style over substance I apologize, in advance, to Advocate readers for this “demeaning, shallow, and uninformative” letter. Jim Gough (letter to the editor, June 10) has described recent political ads using these terms.

He hit the “hair” on the head. Justin Trudeau has “nice hair, though.” And his autobiography has three chapters on hair care products.

I always thought Prime Minister Stephen Harper had the nicest hair. He is the first prime minister to hire a personal stylist paid for by taxpayers to primp his hair and wardrobe. For example, in 2009-2010, we paid his hair stylist’s transportation, hotel rooms and meals on 13 international trips, according to Public Accounts Canada.

Tom Mulcair is under pressure to shave off his beard to increase his polling numbers. He should not be hiding his face from voters, some media consultants say. Some say less facial hair connotes integrity, while others say facial hair is a sign of wisdom and masculinity.

Trudeau can take his shirt off for charity — Harper can’t. Trudeau doesn’t drink coffee, even at Tim Hortons — so un-Canadian. Harper drinks diet soda — claimed to increase belly fat, according to many studies.

Unfortunately, image has triumphed over substance in Canadian politics. Maybe we should conscript David Suzuki for prime minister — wild hair, beard, flat belly and he is a scientist. Oops, that last part disqualifies him.

No advantage to switching transit fleet to natural gas The city’s decision to convert the transit fleet from diesel to compressed natural gas (CNG) is packaged under the banner of “Greening The Fleet” but is nothing more than a sidestep away from the issue of environmental sustainability.

The process is underway to build fueling and maintenance infrastructure and will go ahead as planned; so it is really too late for my words to change anything. But I feel that too late is better than never.

There are two ways of calculating the environmental impact of CNG versus diesel. The way it was presented to the city was an overly simplified calculation based on a unit of diesel burned compared to a unit of CNG burned. This way clearly shows that CNG has a lower carbon footprint than diesel but does not take into account any other factors.

The more accurate way to calculate the environmental impact of CNG versus diesel is to take into account that natural gas is itself a greenhouse gas and that from wellhead, to pipeline, to fueling station, to bus there will be a significant amount of leakage into the atmosphere. This leakage is hard to quantify but evidence is mounting that there is enough to completely offset any greenhouse gas reductions made by burning a ‘less dirty’ fuel than diesel. That makes CNG the same or perhaps way worse.

Either way, it is incorrect to use the term “Greening The Fleet.” At best we are “Less Browning The Fleet” because we are still digging up fossil fuels and burning them.

City Coun. Frank Wong says that “CNG is the fuel of the future.”

I hope not. Electric and hybrid technologies are rapidly developing and the prices are dramatically descending. It very well may be that in a few short

years when we get our first CNG bus, we will be ‘green’ with envy as there will be hybrid buses in Germany and electric buses in California of lower price and greater environmental posterity.

Now there is a 400-pound gorilla in the room and that is our landfill. If we want to invest a few million dollars to enhance environmental sustainability, we should look not to CNG busses but rather to landfill gas capture, recycling and waste diversion technologies as almost half of Red Deer’s carbon footprint comes from the landfill.

You too can get involved to help keep Red Deer clean I am one of the many people around Red Deer who pick up litter.

It started off just walking to try to get in my 10,000 steps a day.

Then I started bringing grocery bags along to pick up litter and it was years before I joined the City of Red Deer Adopt A Park program, except in my case it was Adopt a Street.

Not only do I get half of my steps in, but the walk seems shorter because it’s more interesting. You never know what you’ll be picking up next because my route is between fast food outlets, two high schools and the Collicutt Centre.

Adopt A Park contact is Ken Lehman at 403-3145854. They will provide you with bags, gloves and, in some cases, long-reach grippers. They have 30 groups, families and individuals registered.

Up in smoke: top court rejects Tory definition of medical pot The Supreme Court of Canada has ruled unanimously that medical marijuana can be legally consumed in products such as cookies, brownies and teas, a decision that “outraged” the federal government but elated the baker at the centre of the case.

Federal regulations had previously stipulated that authorized users of physician-prescribed cannabis could only consume dried marijuana.

But the high court said in a 7-0 decision on Thursday that limiting medical consumption to dried pot infringes on liberty protections under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

“Across the country there will be a lot more smiles and a lot less pain,” said Owen Smith, a former baker for the Victoria Cannabis Buyers Club, whose 2009 arrest spurred the legal challenge.

Smith was charged after police found hundreds of pot cookies and cannabis-infused olive and grapeseed oils in his Victoria apartment. He was acquitted at trial and won an appeal.

The decision was yet another rebuke of the Harper government’s tough-on-crime agenda.

Not only was it unanimous, but the court made a point of attributing the written decision to the entire court — something the justices do when they want to underline a finding.

“The prohibition of non-dried forms of medical marijuana limits liberty and security of the person in a manner that is arbitrary and hence is not in accord with the principles of fundamental justice,” said the written judgement.

The initial trial judge in Smith’s case gave the federal government a year to change the laws around cannabis extracts, but the top court said its ruling takes effect immediately.

Cheryl Rose, whose daughter Hayley takes cannabis for a severe form of epilepsy, was overjoyed by the decision and said her 22-year-old’s seizures have dropped dramatically.

Under the old law, Hayley was ingesting 15 capsules of dried cannabis daily. Now, she will only have to swallow one concentrated capsule made with oil.

“Without having extracts available for her, I don’t think we’d be able to keep it up. It’s way too much for a person to consume,” she said. “She’s finally going to fully have her life back.”

Alex Repetski, of Thornhill, Ont., could have been charged with possession and trafficking for converting dried bud into oil for his three-yearold daughter, Gwenevere, whose debilitating epilepsy has left her developmentally delayed.

Since starting on the low-THC marijuana, Gwenevere has seen an incredible recovery, Repetski said. The decision means he no longer fears prosecution.

But implications of the ruling for authorized producers are uncertain, said Eric Paul, who heads Ontariobased licensed marijuana provider CannTrust Inc. “Does this mean the legislation b& gives us the right to provide oral products or some other form?” asked Paul.

“The answer is it’s not clear at the moment.”

Limiting medical marijuana use to dried pot “limits life, liberty and security of the person” in two ways, the court said.

First, the prohibition on possession of cannabis in forms other than dried pot places a person at risk of imprisonment; they wouldn’t face the same threat if they possessed dried marijuana buds.

It also exposes people with a legitimate need for marijuana to other potential medical ailments, it stated.

Tories propose changes to how drugs are managed OTTAWA — The Conservative government wants to revamp the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act for the first time in nearly two decades, but the changes won’t be able to pass before the fall election.

Health Minister Rona Ambrose says the act, which governs the way drugs are managed, needs to be modernized to address significant changes to both the legal and illicit drug markets.

Ambrose announced a series of changes at Ottawa police headquarters on Thursday, alongside Roxanne James, parliamentary secretary to the minister of public safety.

Ambrose said emerging designer drugs need to be subject to the rules, but they are not regulated yet.

“Dangerous designer drugs often targeted at youth are appearing on our streets more frequently,” Ambrose said. “Anyone who has watched the show ’Breaking Bad’ knows exactly what I am talking about.”

There’s not enough time left in the current session of Parliament for the legislation to pass, so the bill will be reintroduced in the next Parliament if the Conservatives are re-elected, she added.

“We did a lot of work with stakeholders to get this bill ready to go,” Ambrose said. “This is the first time the (act) has been updated in 20 years and this is a bill that has to be passed.”

Tory minister, Liberal critic swap accusations of racism OTTAWA — Immigration Minister Chris Alexander and Liberal MP John McCallum traded barbs in the Commons today in a heated exchange that ended with the minister labelling the Liberals as the “racist party.”

With only days left before a scheduled summer recess and an autumn election call that will end this Parliament, tempers appear to be growing short.

During question period, McCallum asked about Conservative plans to introduce legislation to ban face coverings at citizenship ceremonies.

He accused Alexander of assuming all Muslim women who wear the veil are “terrorists, unless proven otherwise,” and demanded that the minister apologize.

Alexander hotly denied saying any such thing and invited McCallum to repeat it outside the Commons, where he would have no protection against a libel suit.

He then urged McCallum to apologize for “decades of racism,” reaching all the way back to the era of Mackenzie King and accusing the Liberals of keeping people from South Asia, East Asia and the Caribbean out of Canada.

VATICAN CITY — Prime Minister Stephen Harper raised the troubling findings of the residential schools commission Thursday during an unusually brief meeting with Pope Francis, but stopped short of inviting him to Canada to apologize.

Instead, Harper referred to a letter sent earlier in the week to the Vatican by his aboriginal affairs minister that merely notified the Holy See of the commission.

“Prime Minister Harper also drew attention to the letter sent by Minister (Bernard) Valcourt to the Holy See regarding the Truth and Reconciliation Commission,” Harper’s office said without elaborating.

Harper’s 10-minute meeting with the Pope Francis was surprisingly short by Vatican standards. Russian President Vladimir Putin had a nearly 50-minute private audience with the pontiff a day earlier.

A separate readout from the Vatican did not mention the residential schools issue among the topics discussed with Harper Harper instead chose to pursue the theme that has dominated six-day trip — his condemnation of Putin.

Harper went into the meeting facing calls to use the occasion to secure a papal apology for the church’s role in Canada’s residential school legacy.

Victims of massacre say gun laws being whittled away OTTAWA — Families of victims and witnesses to the 1989 Montreal massacre say Canada’s hard-won gun control laws are being whittled away — and no one seems ready, or even allowed, to talk about it.

Advocates of gun control say this week’s shooting death of an Edmonton police officer illustrates the chill on discussing gun violence and public policy — even as the Conservatives rush through another firearms bill that critics say weakens gun control.

In the wake of Monday’s shooting, Edmonton Mayor Don Iveson suggested the elimination of the federal longrun registry in 2012 may be a factor in numerous altercations between police and armed assailants.

Justice Minister Peter MacKay blasted Iveson’s comments as “absurd,” “ill-timed” and “in poor taste,” — forcing an apology and retraction from the mayor.

On the same day, federal Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney labelled the Edmonton gunman a “right-wing extremist” and said the Harper government’s new anti-terrorism bill would prevent such tragedies.

“It’s in poor taste when we talk about gun control, but it’s never in poor taste when we talk about terrorism or the things that are on the government’s agenda,” Heidi Rathjen, a witness to the shooting deaths of 14 women at Montreal’s Ecole Polytechnique, said Thursday at a news conference on Parliament Hill.

RED DEER ADVOCATE Friday, June 12, 2015 A7 come amid intense scrutiny of questionable spending by senators.

Federal conflict of interest and ethics commissioner Mary Dawson carries out confidential investigations of complaints against MPs alleged to have breached the code.

The code prohibits MPs from accepting gifts unless they are routine expressions of hospitality or protocol.

Even then, any acceptable gift worth more than $500 must be publicly disclosed — a value the committee recommends be lowered to $200.

In addition, the committee says any outside contributions above the gift threshold to an MP’s travel should also be publicly revealed — a move that would toughen the current reporting standard.

Elliott Trudeau and Ed Broadbent, among others.

He says their respective returns to public life were celebrated and they were praised for perseverance and determination.

If that was true for them, Duceppe says that it should be the same for him.

He spoke to reporters today at his first Ottawa event since assuming the Bloc leadership.

Former NHL player says expansion of his sex-abuse centre in the works CALGARY — Former NHL player Sheldon Kennedy says the sexual-abuse support centre that bears his name has been deluged with cases since opening more than two years ago.

Kennedy, who brought to light sex crimes by former junior hockey coach Graham James, says the Sheldon Kennedy Child Advocacy Centre has seen about 120 cases a month.

“We’ve really become a specialized service to really handle the worst of the worst cases, if you may,” said Kennedy.

“The sexual assaults, the really bad child neglect cases, the physical abuse cases. Pretty much we take the 10 per cent of the really heavy-loaded cases, the cases that consume the systems.”

The centre brings together police, social workers, medical staff, psychologists and prosecutors under one roof to try to avoid making child victims constantly relive incidents of abuse.

He said about 68 per cent of the children brought in have suffered some sort of sexual abuse and are between four and 12 years old.

“These kids are presenting three or more issues — suicidal ideation, sexualized behaviour, self-harm and violent behaviour,” he said.

“We may be doing child abuse investigations and treatment but the reality is what we’re dealing with is mental health issues.”

CF-18s conduct third Syrian strike mission against ISIL in contested area OTTAWA — Two Canadian fighter-bombers have carried out the country’s third airstrike against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant in Syria.

Defence Minister Jason Kenney says the mission took place Tuesday near the eastern city of Al Hasakah, a hotly contested area where forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar Assad recently made minor gains.

The official news agency in Kuwait reported earlier this week that Syrian regular army troops had recaptured a youth prison and a village south of the embattled community after fierce fighting with extremists.

The agency, quoting the independent Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said as many as 20 Syrian soldiers and pro-government militia were killed in the lead-up to the capture.

Kenney says the Canadian jets used a precisionguided bomb to destroy an Islamic State compound.

It has been weeks since the Canadian military has held an operations briefing — or answered any questions about the war.

The last time was in the aftermath of a report into the friendly-fire death of a special forces soldier, Sgt. Andrew Doiron, which found his shooting by Kurdish fighters to be a tragic case of mistaken identity.

Gilles Duceppe says getting no respect after political return as Bloc leader OTTAWA — Gilles Duceppe isn’t thrilled with the way his return to politics is being treated.

The returning leader of the Bloc Quebecois says he’s isn’t being given a fair shake by the media and other observers outside Quebec.

Duceppe rattled off a list of names of famous politicians who staged comebacks and were treated with more respect: Robert Bourassa, Jean Charest, Pierre

Senator introducing legislation to end captivity for whales, dolphins OTTAWA — A Liberal senator is introducing legislation aimed at gradually ending the increasingly controversial practice of keeping whales and dolphins in captivity.

Keeping the animals cooped up for the sake of entertainment is unjustifiably cruel, said Sen. Wilfred Moore, the architect of the bill.

“In the wild, many whales and dolphins live in large family groups or pods which can grow to over 100 members each,” Moore told a news conference Thursday.

“The act of removing a family member and placing the whale or dolphin in a pool in a marine park is bad enough,but the process itself is disturbing and can lead to the death of the animal.”

Moore’s bill would prohibit captive breeding, imports, exports and live captures of all whales, dolphins and porpoises in Canada, while allowing for the rescue of injured individuals.

With Parliament soon to recess for the summer and a federal election slated for the fall, however, the bill is unlikely to become law.

The legislation builds on a recent Ontario law, which phases out keeping orcas in captivity.

The legislation has the support of the Canadian Federation of Humane Societies, the British Columbia Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and Zoocheck Canada.

“It is an ethical issue,” the Nova Scotia senator said.

B1 Canada has to settle for draw

FRIDAY, JUNE 12, 2015

CAN’T CAPITALIZE ON CHANCES AGAINST NEW ZEALAND AT WOMEN’S WORLD CUP

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Canada 0 New Zealand 0 EDMONTON — Canada settled for a 0-0 draw with New Zealand at the Women’s World Cup on Thursday, unable to turn its edge in possession and scoring chances into maximum points.

The game had plenty of drama with a weather delay, Canadian goal called back and both sides hitting the crossbar, with the woodwork denying a New Zealand penalty kick.

Inability to finish has been an issue for Canada, which needed a stoppagetime penalty kick from captain Christine Sinclair to dispatch China 1-0 in the tournament opener.

But this time there was no last-minute happy ending for the home team although Sinclair had several chances to end the deadlock, including an 85thminute shot that went wide.

Still the single point all but assures Canada (1-0-1) of advancing to the second round, but the order of finish in Group A will go down to the wire.

“All in all, another solid performance from Canada, ” said Canadian coach John Herdman, clearly seeing his glass half-full. “Let’s find the back of the net and give these fans a bit more to cheer about, and let a coach relax and enjoy the game a bit.”

The point was only the second at the World Cup for New Zealand. The first came four years ago when Herdman was at the Kiwi helm.

Canadian giveaways at the back suggested there is work to do. Better teams will punish such mistakes. Herdman took off centre back Lauren Sesselmann in the 68th minute, inserting veteran Carmelina Moscato.

Canada’s Kadeisha Buchanan showed her defensive class with a key tackle in the 65th minute, poking the ball away as a New Zealand player slashed towards goal.

In the earlier game at Commonwealth Stadium, No. 16 China beat the 12th-ranked Netherlands 1-0 on a 91stminute goal by Wang Lisi. China outshot the Dutch 27-8 (10-3 in shots on target) but were repeatedly denied by goalkeeper Sari Van Veenendaal.

The results tightened up Group A, leaving Canada with four points, the Chinese and the Dutch on three and New Zealand on one.

Rain lashed the stadium immediately after the first game, leaving the Canadians and New Zealanders to warm up in a downpour. The rain continued, soaking the crowd of 35,544 and offering the players a different challenge after the heat of their opening matches.

As thunder rumbled, the contest was halted in the fourth minute due to the threat of lightning with German referee Bibiana Steinhaus ordering the players off the field. The PA announcer asked fans to take refuge under the stands.

Buccaneers turn to recruiting to keep up

BY JOSH ALDRICH ADVOCATE STAFF The Alberta Football League is suddenly turning into a game of keeping up with the Joneses.

In an effort to keep up with the Northern Football Conference — the Ontario entrant into the Canadian senior football scene who the Alberta champ meets and usually loses to in the national championship game — the AFL has realized it needs to up its game to stay relevant.

The Calgary Gators dropped the gauntlet in a big way this off-season by talking key players from the arch-rival Calgary Wolfpack to trade in their purple and black jerseys for silver and black, including star quarterback Darryl Leason and his receiver brother Mike Leason. They didn’t stop there, bringing in a number of top recruits including 2013 Hec Crieghton Award winning quarterback Jordan Heather and his brother, whom he played with at Bishops University Nathan Heather, among many others. The Gators use both quarterbacks in two different rotating offensive systems.

This is their aim at a super team.

The Central Alberta Buccaneers, meanwhile are doing their best to keep up. The goal is a better football league all the way around.

“It’s turned into a recruiter’s league,” said Bucs new head coach Devon Hand. “It’s definitely not a back yard league where guys can just show up and play, it’s definitely getting more competitive every year.”

Hand built arguably the AFL’s top defence in his two season as defensive coordinator. But he added to an already stout unit with players like St. Francis Xavier grads defensive back Shane Nolan and defensive end Devon Marshall, University of Windsor linebacker Nick Leondakis and defensive back Ryan Miller who was a standout with the Hamilton Steel City Patriots of the NFC. Miller, 26, was also his team’s de

Buccaneers defensive back Ryan Miller facto defensive coordinator, but has found a home at safety in the Buccaneers secondary.

“Our team captain Mark Fay actually moved to defensive half back this year so I could play safety, just the fact that a player is willing to switch positions for a new guy coming in says a lot,” said Miller, who was lured out to Red Deer for work. “That welcoming was very nice.”

He played a big role in helping the Buccaneers shutout the defending champion but rebuilding Calgary Wolfpack in the season opener on Sunday, saying it was a step down in pace to what he is used to in the NFC. “As far as the speed and the tempo, it was a little bit slower than in Ontario,” said Miller. “I know this league, the Gators have recruited a lot and Fort Mac has a lot of guys from Montreal that has won the national championship the last two years, and I know this teams has brought in some guys ... so the temp is definitely going to be picking up.”

The Buccaneers do return a number of top players on defence, including Fay, Dave Henderson, Kerry Lynch, Ben Rush and Cody Baird, but they are also hoping some of their young guys take the next step in their development this year.

The game resumed 30 minutes later under sunshine after a warmup that saw Herdman and rival coach Tony Readings, Herdman’s former assistant when he coached the Kiwis, chatting on the sidelines. Herdman then kicked the ball around with some of his players Canada is ranked eighth in the world compared to No. 17 for New Zealand.

New Zealand missed a glorious opportunity to go ahead via a 33rd-minute penalty kick when Amber Hearn beat goalie Erin McLeod but hit the crossbar. Fullback Allysha Chapman had been penalized for bodychecking Hannah Wilkinson to the ground in the

box after a Buchanan giveaway.

Sesselmann was erroneously given a yellow card on the play that was later corrected to Chapman.

The Kiwis had the best early chance with McLeod forced to tip a Hearn header over the bar on a free kick in the 10th minute.

New Zealand ’keeper Erin Nayler saved Jonelle Filigno’s straightforward header and then Sinclair’s more challenging left-footed shot in the 23rd minute as the Canadian captain pounced on a fine feed from Ashley Lawrence, who was celebrating her 20th birthday.

Defenceman Conn Smythe drought likely to end

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

STANLEY CUP FINAL

TAMPA, Fla. — When Jonathan Quick was a brick wall for the Los Angeles Kings in 2012, the Conn Smythe Trophy was undoubtedly his. The same went for the Boston Bruins’ Tim Thomas in 2011.

“Thomas was outstanding,” said Rick Bowness, an assistant coach for the 2011 Vancouver Canucks. “It was an automatic.”

Now Bowness is an associate coach with the Tampa Bay Lightning and there’s no automatic Conn Smythe winner in this Stanley Cup final against the Chicago Blackhawks. Goaltenders aren’t among the front-runners, and each team’s top scorers have been held down in the series.

Victor Hedman and Duncan Keith have been the most dominant players, and this will likely be the first year a defenceman wins the Conn Smythe since Scott Niedermayer in 2007. Only four have won it in the past 20 seasons.

“A lot of it has to do if you’re scoring goals or if you’re contributing offensively or you’re a goaltender and you’re preventing goals, I think people see you in a different way,” 2002 Conn Smythe winner Nicklas Lidstrom said in a phone interview from Sweden.

“When you’re defending, you might end up preventing a goal by making a good defensive play.

“But goal-scorers or setting up goals, I think you get more recognition than what defence does.”

Like Hedman and Keith, Niedermayer, Lidstrom, Scott Stevens and Brian Leetch had to be disproportionate difference-makers to win it. Drew Doughty of the Los Angeles Kings probably had the best case since Niedermayer a year ago, but “Mr. Game 7” Justin Williams got the Conn Smythe.

With the Cup final tied at two going into Game 5 Saturday night, Jonathan Toews is still a strong candidate if the Blackhawks win and Tyler Johnson if the Lightning win. But Keith and Hedman have been so good it would almost be an upset if neither won.

“You don’t get to this stage without

having elite goaltending, elite defencemen and elite forwards,” Bowness said Thursday. “Duncan Keith, I love watching him play. ...

“Victor Hedman, I’ve never seen a guy six-foot-six, 230, skate like he does.

He’s dominant because of his size, his skating ability. He’s definitely a No. 1.”

As one of almost 30 players to skate 600-plus minutes in a post-season, former Dallas Stars defenceman Sergei Zubov has an appreciation for Keith’s performance this spring.

“He is not going to be flashy,” Zubov said in a phone interview. “You’ve got to have instincts, you’ve got to do everything right. He makes the right plays at certain times. That’s the way I would describe great defencemen in the playoffs.”

Bruins defenceman Dennis Seidenberg said Keith or even Blackhawks teammate Brent Seabrook should be considered for the Conn Smythe. Seabrook made a game-saving play tipping a Steven Stamkos shot in the final minutes Wednesday night but doesn’t have quite the offensive firepower as Keith.

And that’s just one element of Keith’s game.

“The way he skates he looks so lightning-fast,” Seidenberg said. “His first couple steps are really quick and sharp and he’s very alert. He doesn’t really get hit hard. It’s just a testament to how hard he works off the ice and how fit he keeps himself throughout the whole season going into the playoffs.”

Hedman doesn’t play 30 minutes a night like Keith, but the Lightning lean more on him and partner Anton Stralman than anyone else. Just like Keith, who’s almost a point-a-game player in the playoffs, Hedman is a two-way force worthy of the Conn Smythe.

“He’s really elevated his game throughout the course of the playoffs,” teammate Matt Carle said. “He’s such a big guy with a long reach, skates so well. The way we want to play defence, he’s the epitome of that.”

Curry powers Warriors over Cavs

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Warriors 103 Cavaliers 82 CLEVELAND — No panic, no playing around. Just California cool.

The Golden State Warriors simply did what they had to do, and now they’re going home in the same shape as when they left — tied in the NBA Finals.

Stephen Curry and Andre Iguodala scored 22 points apiece and the Warriors, showing their depth and why they were the league’s best team all season, squared the finals at 2-2 on Thursday night with a 103-82 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Game 5 is Sunday night at Oakland’s rambunctious Oracle Arena, where the teams split two overtime games last week.

“We’ve seen it all year, every team we go up against, we use our strength in numbers,” said Iguodala, who made a surprise start. “Not only do we have a good first unit but we’ve got a second unit that is coming at you with the same type of speed, same type of highIQ basketball. It’s hard to keep up with us.

“We’re going to try to keep it going.”

LeBron James scored 20 points — 21 under his average in the series — with 12 rebounds and eight assists, but Cleveland’s megastar, who played with a cut on his head sustained in the first half, didn’t score in the fourth quarter and couldn’t do enough for the under-

manned Cavaliers.

Timofey Mozgov led Cleveland with 28 points and guard Matthew Dellavedova, again battling leg cramps after a hospital stay for dehydration, had 10.

The Cavs shot just 2 of 18 from the field in the fourth quarter, and got nothing from their bench as J.R. Smith missed all eight 3-pointers and Cleveland’s reserves scored seven points.

Missing All-Stars Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving, the Cavs didn’t have enough firepower and their legs were heavy after playing three games in five days against the league’s deepest team.

The Warriors were in a must-win situation as none of the 32 teams who have fallen behind 3-1 in the finals have come back to win an NBA title.

Golden State doesn’t have to worry about that, and now it’s possible the Warriors will get to play two more games on their home court if the series goes the distance. Game 6 is Tuesday night in Cleveland.

Building off a strong fourth quarter in Game 3 that gave them confidence, the Warriors showed a sense of urgency from the outset and took it to the Cavs. Iguodala, who played so well coming off the bench in the first three games, started and made coach Steve Kerr’s decision look brilliant.

Known for his defence, Iguodala made four 3-pointers, kept James in check and Curry, the league MVP, made four 3s as well, including a deep dagger in the fourth.

“I didn’t think Andre guarded him any differently than he did the first three games,.” Kerr said.

“It’s a different game. LeBron’s

shots didn’t go in. The same shots may go in next game. Andre, he battles him.

He’s played him a lot in his career. Every team he’s been on, he’s the guy that has to guard LeBron when he comes to town.”

RDC Queens hockey team finds their coach

BY JOSH ALDRICH ADVOCATE STAFF The Red Deer College Queens hockey team finally has a new head coach.

College alumnus Kelly Coulter takes over from Bob Rutz who took the Queens to the ACAC final last season where they were defeated by the NAIT Ooks.

Coulter has spent the last 18 years in Grande Prairie coaching at several different levels, including as an assistant coach with the Alberta Junior Hockey League’s Storm.

He will be leaving his position at Grande Prairie Regional College in the office administration department, knowing they were facing cut backs.

This move helps to amalgamate his coaching duties and professional duties.

“I’ve coached my entire teaching career at the college, so it’s always been on the side,” said Coulter. “It’s nice to have part of my portfolio with my teach. They both go hand-in-hand ...

I’m just ecstatic to do it.”

For RDC athletic director Keith Hansen, this represents one of his final actions in his position. The long

CUP: Chances A Melissa Tancredi goal off a free kick in the 45th minute was called off for offside. Replays showed the Canadian forward was offside when Filigno headed the ball to her.

Canada had the bulk of the possession in the first half while New Zealand looked to threaten from set pieces.

Nayler made a fine save to push a looping Sinclair shot over the crossbar in the 47th minute. The Canadian captain led by example again in the 58th minute, refusing to quit on a ball chase and winning a corner.

Sophie Schmidt came close with a long-range free kick in the 71st minute that glanced the crossbar. Nayler stopped Tancredi minutes later.

“We’re creating chances, there were some gilt-edged chances tonight,” said Herdman.

McLeod was brave in the final minutes, going down to deny a New Zealand attack.

The result left Canada’s all-time tournament record at 5-11-4.

The Football Ferns are now 0-9-2 re-

time AD is stepping down in July but he wanted to have this coaching position filled before he left.

He believes Coulter is a good fit with the department and their goals.

“I think he’s going to be absolutely outstanding,” said Hansen. “He’s a Kelly Coulter real character individual, he’s real ethical, he’s got a very good coaching resume and he’s been involved in junior hockey, not only as a coach but as an educational person. He’s super passionate about hockey and education and student athletes.”

One of the big reasons RDC moved on from Rutz is they wanted an on campus coach to be running the Queens and Coulter’s appointment fills that role. For the first time in the school’s history, they will have on-campus coaches for all six of their major sports teams — men’s and women’s hockey, basketball and volleyball.

While Coulter’s role is still being defined at the college he will be in the kinesiology department. He has spent

the last several years teaching office administration at GPRC. He started coaching 15 years ago at the peewee AA level in Grande Prairie before moving on to coach the midget AAA team. In 2006 he joined the Storm as an assistant coach and was names the director of hockey operations of the Grande Peace Athletic Club in 2010. While with the Storm he served as educational liaison coordinator.

Coulter has not coached women before — outside of his involvement as a badminton and track and field coach in his high school teaching days — but believes he will be able to make the transition.

“Most of my teaching career in post secondary has been spent in the office admin program, so that’s teaching women all day .... and in the evening I would coaching boys or men,” said Coulter. “I’ve had a lot of experience for 15 years being able to shift back and forth.”

He says he prefers more of an aggressive style of play, though he does preach taking care of the defensive end first.

“You have to score goals to win, but if you give up seven, you’re not going to win too many games,” said Coulter.

The Queens are also going to get

back several players they did not expect to have return under Rutz, including Casey Nicholson, Jessica Anderson, Jade Petrie, Ashley Graf, Emily Swier, Kaely McMurtry and Rikki Leonard.

Coulter is not sure what his assistant coaching situation will be, though he does want to talk with Rutz’s staff — Wes Makofka, Laura Salomons and Colin Stebner — before he makes any moves Getting back to Red Deer is something the Beach Corner native — east of Stony Plain — wanted to do.

He began his education at RDC before moving on to the University of Alberta to finish his bachelor of education and then earned a masters degree in educational technology from the University of Southern Queensland in Australia.

He will be bringing with him his wife and two daughters aged four and seven.

“My family is really excited,” said Coulter.

“Were looking forward to the challenges and new opportunity and hopefully we can make a contribution to Red Deer like we did with GPRC and Grand Prairie in our time here.” jaldrich@reddeeradvocate.com

cord at the tournament. Herdman was at the New Zealand helm when it collected its first point at the tournament, a 2-2 draw with Mexico in 2011.

Canada came into the contest riding a nine-match unbeaten streak and sporting a 6-1-3 all-time record against New Zealand, with the lone loss coming in 1987. Canada outscored New Zealand 17-4 during that stretch.

Most importantly, the Bucs believe they have an answer at quarterback in Quebec import Pascal Plante who spent the last two seasons playing in the NFC, including last year with the Sault Ste. Marie Steelers. He starred with the now defunct South Shore Monarx of the Quebec Junior Football League before moving on to senior ball.

If he falters, Jamie Fox, another newcomer from B.C., ready to step in as he did against the Wolfpack, putting three touchdowns on the board. “(Plante) says he can play every position, that’s his thing, he can literally play receiver, he can punt , he’s played safety before, outside linebacker, so he really is an athlete playing the quarterback position,” said Hand. ‘That being said, he has all of the intangibles you want in a quarterback.”

Plante measures in at six-foot-five, 210 pounds, he can run the ball and has a rocket arm. But he nearly hobbled away from the game after last year after injuring his MCL, until Hand talked him into coming out West.

He will be key to running Shepard’s new offence.

“It’s a pretty good system, nobody plays this system, so I think it’s a good thing because (defences) have never seen this system,” said Plante, 24, noting by playing against the Bucs defence in practice it is making them better. “We’re getting better every week. When we started, the offence wasn’t looking too good because we were playing against the best defence in the league last year and now we can compete with the defence.”

All of these new pieces will get a full test this weekend as they host the Gators in their home opener at 6 p.m. at ME Global Field in Lacombe. But just as they upset the Leasons in last year’s home opener, they are not intimidated by this new Calgary powerhouse.

“We have to be as physical as humanly possible,” said Hand. “We cannot be intimidated by them, we have to go out and set the tone and start out hitting them and hit them all game long so we put the doubt in their mind that they’re in for an actual football game.” jaldrich@reddeeradvocate.com

BUCS: Play maker “(Cornerback) Tylor Johanesson is a guy who has really matured and grown into his role as a play maker on the back end,” said Hand. “Linebacker Dustin Bomback is a guy that it up and coming and will be good for a long time if he continues to play the way that he is.”

Offence was the Achillies’ heel for the Bucs last season. Quite simply, they struggled to put points on the board consistently, sputtering under an assortment of quarterbacks and conservative play calling.

Much of that has been revamped with new offensive coordinator Aaron Shepard and an assortment of new weapons and players to augment the likes of running back Junior Rivera and top receiver Matt Merkley.

Title up for grabs at Superfights 23

BY JOSH ALDRICH ADVOCATE STAFF

MUAY THAI AND KICKBOXING

The Western Canadian super light heavyweight title will be up for grabs at Superfights 23 Muay Thai & Kickboxing Championships this weekend.

The bout will feature two veterans of Superfights: Tim Lo out of Sherwood Park and Andrew Vandervelden out of Airdrie on Saturday at the Westerner Prairie Pavilion.

The belt is currently vacant and the fight will headline the night of 13 fights, including nine Central Alberta combatants.

“Tim’s quite tall, he’s a real strong kicker and Vandervelden is a bit shorter ... but a really strong, really powerful inside fighter,” said Superfights promoter Lyle Cheney.

Due to it being a title fight there will be full Muay Thai rules meaning elbows and knees will be permitted and there will be no gear. The fight is scheduled for five, two-minute rounds.

Other fights include Rocky Mountain House’s Russel Dahms against Shaun Thankachen of Calgary at 465 pounds, Braedon Rice of Red Deer against Spencer Oulette of Calgary at 175 pounds, Gavin Owen of Red Deer against Amir Vasseghi of Calgary at 145 pounds, Jamie Hogarth of Rocky Mountain House fights Cory Bjorgan of Sylvan Lake at 220 pounds, Shaye Osguthorpe of Red Deer against Mitch Wiles of Edmonton at 135 pounds, Alma Ladoucer of Calgary is slated to fight Melissa Ade at 135 pounds of

Rocky Mountain House, and Travis Lindsey of Saskatoon will fight Malcolm Tisdale of Eckville at 180 pounds.

Superfights has become a mainstay in Red Deer over the years and generally plays out to packed crowds. It has grown to be an important part of the local martial arts community.

“It’s one of the largest and longest running amateur cards a person can compete on,” said Cheney.

Tickets are still available for purchase at $40 a piece, but Cheney says they are starting to go quick.

Cheney says it is an all ages event and generally appeals to most people, even those who think they will be turned off by it.

“We’ve had many people who thought they wouldn’t like it but were impressed by the sportsmanship and the technique,” said Cheney. jaldrich@reddeeradvocate.com

Players bristle at idea NHL should ban playoff beards

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TAMPA, Fla. — Don’t ban the beard.

That’s the consensus among players at the Stanley Cup final after NBC Sports chairman Mark Lazarus suggested the NHL consider outlawing playoff beards so fans can better recognize faces.

It’s a sentiment Don Cherry agrees with even though he knows it won’t happen.

“I see the guys holding the Cup up, and then I see them in the summer with his beard off, he makes a lot of sense,” Cherry said Wednesday night. “Don’t laugh at the guy. It makes sense, but they’ll never get rid of the beard.”

That’s perfectly fine with players from the Tampa Bay Lightning and Chicago Blackhawks, many of whom are sporting bushy playoff beards at the Cup final.

Lightning captain Steven Stamkos understands the thinking behind it but can’t support banning the beard.

“It’s such a long-lasting tradition,” Stamkos said.

“Obviously hockey is not one of the more recognizable sports, especially in the States with some of the other pro leagues that they have. But we’re gaining interest. ...

“I don’t think guys are going to be willing to change anytime soon.”

While the Stanley Cup is the end of the road for one team, playoff beards are evidence of the long road to get there. Some players have facial-hair superstitions and take pride in getting as bushy as possible, while others struggle.

Don’t ban the beard. That’s the consensus among players at the Stanley Cup final after NBC Sports chairman Mark Lazarus suggested the NHL consider outlawing playoff beards so fans can better recognize faces.

“I have trouble to grow my own beard,” Blackhawks rookie Teuvo Teravainen said.

In the locker-room beards are the subject of plenty of ribbing. Players are all too eager to rag on teammates for bad beards.

“Andrej Sustr, that’s a tough one,” said fully bearded Tampa Bay defenceman Jason Garrison.

“But I give it to him all the time, so he’s aware of it.”

Canadian men’s soccer team downs Dominica in first leg of World Cup qualifying WIN INCHES CANADA CLOSER TO THIRD ROUND

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS ROSEAU, Dominica — The Canadian men’s soccer team downed Dominica 2-0 on Thursday in the first leg of a home-and-away series in the second CONCACAF preliminary round of qualifying for the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Cyle Larin and Russell Teibert scored for Canada, which can advance to CONCACAF’s third round of qualifying with a win, draw or one-goal loss in the second leg.

“I think we played a very good game,” said Canadian head coach Benito Floro. “We proposed that we would be serious in this game and to play Dominica with a lot of respect. We developed a strong pressing game, and at the same time we had at least 12 or 13 scoring chances.”

Larin opened the scoring in the fifth minute after receiving a through ball from Tosaint Ricketts in the right side of the box. Teibert doubled Canada’s lead in the 64th minute on a penalty kick.

“It was very important to get an early goal and settle into the game and put them on the back foot early,” said Larin. “It was good for us.”

Canada goalkeeper Milan Borjan was sent off in the 80th minute for deliberately handling a goalbound shot outside the box after Jonathan de Guzman turned the ball over to give Dominica a breakaway. Borjan, who will be suspended for the second leg, was replaced in goal Kenny Stamatopolous.

Canada, ranked 109th in the world, hosts the second leg against the 168th ranked Dominicans in To-

ronto at BMO Field on June 16.

Should the Canadians advance after the second leg, they will move on to the third round of CONCACAF qualification.

That stage will see 10 second-round winners join Jamaica and Haiti — the seventh and eighth-seeded teams — in six home-and-away series to be played Aug. 31 to Sept. 8.

The third-round winners will move on to the group stage — a point the national team has failed to get past since the buildup to the 1998 World Cup. “We’ll prepare the same (for the game in Toronto) because this is the second half of the eliminatory, so we’re going to play Dominica in front of our home support and we need to play very well,” said Floro.

“We have to score enough goals to be happy and hopefully enough to give two or three players other chances to play, but it has to be a very good game for us.”

a little pain and some itchiness. As his coach Jon Cooper says about the grind of the playoffs, Paquette wouldn’t trade being in the Cup final for a clean shave.

“I think it’s a great part of the playoffs,” Paquette said.

Canadian welterweight Nordine Taleb to meet Brazilian Warlley Alves at UFC 190

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Montreal-based welterweight Nordine Taleb will meet Brazilian Warlley Alves at UFC 190 on Aug. 1 in Rio de Janeiro.

Both men are veterans of “The Ultimate Fighter” reality TV show.

Alves won Season 3 of “The Ultimate Fighter Brazil” while Taleb, competing as a middleweight, was part of “The Ultimate Fighter Nations: Canada versus Australia.”

Both Alves (9-0) and the French-born Taleb (10-2) are unbeaten in the UFC. The UFC 190 main event at the HSBC Arena pits women’s bantamweight champion (Rowdy) Ronda Rousey against Bethe Correia. The card also features a rematch between light-heavyweights Mauricio (Shogun) Rua and Antonio Rogerio Nogueira.

Arizona Coyotes respond to Glendale’s vote to end arena deal NHL

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS GLENDALE, Ariz. — The Arizona Coyotes are used to having an uncertain future. Unlike the four years of waiting for a new owner to step forward, the team has gone on the offensive in the latest twist to this ongoing saga.

The Coyotes on Thursday began mapping out their response to the Glendale City Council’s decision to dissolve an arena lease agreement with the team. It will include a variety of legal manoeuvrs, but no immediate plans to relocate the team and certainly no renegotiation of the existing agreement.

“Our view is they’ve done their action and we’re moving forward with our legal options,” Coyotes co-owner Anthony LeBlanc said during a conference call.

The Coyotes signed a 15-year, $225 million lease agreement for then-Jobing.com Arena with the city of Glendale in 2013, just a few months after IceArizona bought the team from the NHL. Last year, Philadelphia hedge fund manager Andrew Barroway purchased a 51 per cent stake in the team,

strengthening it financially, and the organization also agreed to a nine-year naming rights deal for what is now called Gila River Arena.

But, as usually seems to be the case with this franchise, the fog of uncertainty began to stir.

Last week, some Glendale council members raised concerns about where the $15 million the city pays IceArizona to operate the arena was going. LeBlanc and Barroway met with city officials Monday and thought they had clarified that issue, only to be surprised when a vote was called Wednesday night to cancel the arena lease agreement.

Despite strong opposition from local businessmen and Glendale residents during the public forum portion of the meeting, the council voted 5-2 to end the lease agreement, citing an Arizona conflict-of-interest law. The statute allows an entity to cancel a contract if a person who worked on the deal later represents the other party, which councilbmembers say happened when former city attorney Craig Tindall began working for the Coyotes as general counsel in 2013.

“This is to protect the taxpayers,” Mayor Jerry Weiers said during the meeting. “I believe they violated the law.”

LeBlanc and attorney Nick Wood, who both spoke on behalf of the team,

had a quick response, much of which revolved around legal action.

LeBlanc said the Coyotes have started working on seeking a temporary restraining order to prevent the city from ending the deal and a lawsuit that Wood said would reach into the hundreds of millions of dollars.

Aiding the Coyotes will likely be a wave of high-end lawyers hired by the NHL. “The National Hockey League stands by, and will fully support, the Arizona Coyotes in their efforts to vindicate their contractual rights in response to last night’s outrageous and irresponsible action by the City of Glendale,” the NHL said in a statement.

“We continue to proceed on the basis that the Coyotes will remain in Glendale and will be playing their home games at Gila River Arena.”

The threat of the Coyotes leaving has been an issue, real or perceived, since former owner Jerry Moyes took the team into bankruptcy.

Even after IceArizona purchased the team, speculation that the team would move did not end.

The largely Canadian ownership group insisted the lease agreement include an out clause if the team loses $50 million after five years, which added to conjecture that IceArizona would eventually move the team that

originated in Winnipeg.

The council’s vote has intensified the relocation speculation, particularly with a long list of potential suitors waiting in the wings, including Seattle, Portland, Oregon, Las Vegas and a Canadian city.

“Everyone talks about the out the clause and if we wanted to pack up and leave. Guess what? We have an out clause now and we’re going the other way,” LeBlanc said. “We’re doing nothing but working aggressively to make sure we can stay in what we feel is our rightful home here at Gila River Arena.”

The Coyotes likely face a lengthy and expensive legal battle ahead, though LeBlanc said there are no plans to alter the hockey budget. He added that Glendale has not given them any indication that the team will be asked to vacate the arena and the team will continue to operate normally there unless something changes.

If the Coyotes are unable to work out their differences with Glendale, there might by a viable option just down the road.

The Coyotes spent their first seven seasons in Arizona sharing a downtown arena with the NBA’s Phoenix Suns and a Phoenix city council member has already raised the possibility of another downtown alliance.

Trio opens with 64 to lead St. Jude Classic PGA TOUR

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Ryan Palmer, Brooks Koepka and Greg Owen each shot 6-under 64 Thursday for a three-way tie atop the leaderboard after the opening round of the St. Jude Classic.

Palmer, a three-time PGA Tour winner, turned in a bogey-free round with six birdies in the afternoon to join Koepka and Owen atop the leaderboard at TPC Southwind. Koepka, who won in Phoenix earlier this year, matched his low round of 2015 with eight birdies and two bogeys, while Owen shot his best round this year with no bogeys and six birdies.

Scott Brown, Steven Alker, Brian Davis and Richard Sterne each shot 65s. Defending champ Ben Crane tied four others with 66s.

Boo Weekley was tied with six others at 67, and Phil Mickelson was in a group of 11 at 68.

David Hearn of Brantford, Ont., was the low Canadian, tied for 73rd. Hearn shot a 1-over 71, while Calgary’s Roger Sloan and Corey Conners both shot 5-over 75s. Mike Weir of Brights Grove, Ont., was 7-over 77.

Palmer had seven holes left after reaching 6 under, but he had to scramble down the stretch and needed to get up and down on his 18th hole, No. 9, to keep a piece of the lead. His last victory came in 2010 at the Sony Open, though he tied for second in Phoe-

nix and tied for sixth at the Texas Open this year.

His key Thursday was his putter. He needed only 24 putts with his closest birdie putt at 6 feet with a couple 20 feet and longer.

“I’ve been trying to get comfortable with the putter,” Palmer said. “I finally found the position I had last year from the British Open through the playoffs when I putted some of my best I felt. And I get on the putting green this morning and found it. The ball position, the width of my stance, where my shoulders and feet were, and it paid off today.”

Koepka has had three Top 20 finishes since his win in February, but he also withdrew from the Arnold Palmer Invitational in March before missing the cut at The Players Championship.

Needing to play better before heading to Chambers Bay in Washington for the U.S. Open prompted him to add Memphis to his schedule. He said he was playing good golf but not scoring well enough.

He gave himself a nice confidence boost, especially finishing with back-to-back birdies for a share of the lead.

“To me, it’s been expectations,” Koepka said. “My expectations have been a little too high. When you’re able to kind of put it in the centre of the greens, give yourself uphill putts, that makes this golf course a lot easier, and being in the fairway helps a lot.”

Owen, an Englishman who now lives in Florida, has played 213 PGA Tour events since turning pro in 2005. He’s back on tour thanks to a Web.com Tour exemption. He topped the 66 that had been his low round this year back in April in New Orleans in the opening round where he wound up tied for 43rd.

Owen said his game started coming around at the Byron Nelson where he shot in the 60s his final three rounds and tied for 46th.

“I’m healthy and fit and I’m putting well,” Owen said. “That’s a big bonus for me, confidence with the putt.”

Crane was the only player to get to 7 under as he rolled in seven birdies in nine holes. But he started hitting shots into the rough and wound up with bogeys on three of his final five holes.

“Obviously had it going pretty low there for a while, and all in all, I feel like my game is going in the right direction,” Crane said. “Feel very comfortable on this golf course. I love this place.”

Mickelson was at 4 under after a quick start with four birdies over his first seven holes starting on the back nine. A couple bogeys on the par 3s on the front nine dropped him to 2 under.

“I had a couple of opportunities coming in that would have really made the round a few more shots lower, but they didn’t quite fall,” Mickelson said.

“That happens. But I made a bunch on the front.

Made some good putts on the front, so it’s going to come down to ... you got to get some putts to fall because it’s not a course you can overpower. It’s a course if you hit some poor shots will bite you.”

Divots: Dustin Johnson, the highest-ranked player in this event at No. 7 in the world and the 2012 champ here, withdrew after nine holes. Johnson opened with three bogeys and had six pars. Crane played with Johnson, who told him he wasn’t going to make it on the ninth hole. “Clearly, he wasn’t feeling good,” Crane said.

Langer ties course record for lead at Senior Players Championship

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BELMONT, Mass. — Bernhard Langer wasn’t sure what to expect from the unfamiliar confines on Thursday, but that didn’t keep him from making history.

The two-time Masters champion shot four birdies on the final five holes to tie a course record with a 6-under-par 65 in the first round of the Senior Players Championship.

“I was watching the leaderboards and I saw a bunch of 3 and 4 unders so I figured that must be doable,” said Langer, who was playing the par-71, 6,855-yard course at Belmont Country Club for the first time.

Afternoon wind gusts made for difficult playing conditions on an otherwise pleasant day, but that didn’t seem to bother Langer.

Langer bogeyed twice on his first nine holes, but still carded a 2-under 34 at the halfway point. After opening the back nine with four straight pars, Langer charged up the leaderboard with back-to-back birdies on Nos. 14 and 15 and finished with two more on Nos. 17 and 18.

It wasn’t until the par-4 18th that Langer took sole possession of the lead. His tee shot landed in the rough, but a hard wedge swing placed the ball three yards from the hole for an easy putt.

A victory this weekend in Belmont would give Langer his second consecutive Senior Players title, something no golfer has done since Arnold Palmer in 1984-85.

“It’s still early in the week so I’m just trying to not shoot myself in the foot and be in contention,” said Langer.

Guy Boros, Lee Janzen, and Rocco Mediate finished the round in a three-way tie for second at 4-under 67.

Boros, whose father Julius won the 1963 U.S. Open at The Country Club in nearby Brookline, birdied three of his final six holes to put himself in contention.

“I didn’t hit it great,” Boros said. “I putted pretty well, so I made a lot of good par putts and I two-putted twice for birdie. I hit some good, some bad, so it was kind of all over the place.”

Janzen, a two-time U.S. Open champion who qualified for the tournament again on Monday, birdied five of his first nine holes while Mediate, best known for his second-place finish after a battle with Tiger Woods in the 2008 U.S. Open, began the day with three birdies on his first four.

Hamilton’s Alena Sharp was tied for 40th at 1-under par. Toronto’s Rebecca Lee-Bentham and Sue Kim of Langley, B.C., shot identical rounds of 5 over.

Shin, who is seeking her first major, had three birdies on the front nine to gain on Webb, a seventime major winner.

Henderson, who turned pro in December, is below the LPGA Tour’s age requirement of 18. But she made the most of her sponsor exemption.

Henderson birdied No. 10, her opening hole, and

added birdies at Nos. 3, 5, 6 and 15. For her eagle on the par-5, 274 yard 12th hole, she hit a 7-wood 204 yards and the ball landed three feet from the cup.

Then came the three-putt on her final hole, where she “tried to hit it a little too hard and had an 8-footer to save par.”

The 29-year-old Lincicome, who is seeking her third major, is one of the longest hitters on the tour.

She used a 4-iron from 203 yards out and got within 30 feet for her eagle on the par-5, 497-yard 15th.

HARRISON, N.Y. — South Korean Jenny Shin kept moving up the leaderboard, chasing Hall-ofFamer Karrie Webb.

Shin eventually caught her, shooting a bogey-free, 7-under 66 Thursday for a one-stroke lead after the opening round at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, the second major of the season.

“I was chasing the leaderboard all day, and I was surprised that Webby was at 6 under at one point,” said the 22-year-old Shin. “I got there and was like ’Maybe I can get one more on the 18th hole,’ and I did.”

Teenager Brooke Henderson of Smiths Falls, Ont. had a three-putt bogey on her final hole at the ninth to drop a shot back after Shin birdied No. 18 at the Westchester Country Club.

“I hit it well all day, I’m disappointed with the finish on the last hole,” said the 17-year-old Henderson, who was playing on a sponsor exemption.

Webb birdied three of the first four holes and finished at 68. The 40-year-old Webb started her round in hazy conditions at No. 10 and shot a 4-under 33 on the opening nine. She had a bogey-free round until she dropped a shot on the seventh when she missed the fairway left and hit the front bunker.

“I hit a wedge to a foot and a half on 10 and that settled me in,” Webb said. “Hit the green in two on 12 and had about a 15-footer for eagle. I really put some very solid swings on it early on.”

Shin had five birdies and an eagle on the par5 15th. She spoke to her sports psychologist on Wednesday night to help calm her nerves.

“I was freaking out for this round, so I tried to play as comfortable as I can, just like any other tournament,” Shin said. “I tried not to think of it as a major and it turned out great. I had a couple of bogey-free rounds last week, so I think I’m on a good run.”

Americans Brittany Lincicome, Lexi Thompson, Cristie Kerr and Stacy Lewis were in a large group that finished four strokes back at 70 in steamy temperatures that reached the mid-80s. Lincicome, the winner of the first major at the ANA Inspiration in April, eagled the par-5 15th and followed with a birdie on 16.

Two-time defending champion Inbee Park shot a 71. Top-ranked teenager Lydia Ko was another stroke back, and Suzann Pettersen, coming off a win in Cambridge, Ont., finished at 74. Michelle Wie, bothered by a hip injury, shot 75.

Canada and U.S. close in on rugby sevens showdown with Olympic berth on the line

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

NACRA

Canada played the U.S. five times on the HSBC Sevens World Series rugby circuit this season and coach Liam Middleton’s message was the same after every meeting, win or lose. “I said ’This result means nothing.

It absolutely means nothing until we play that final game,�’ he said. “And when we beat them in Glasgow, and we beat them 40-0 and it was convincing, I said to the players the same. I said ’This result means absolutely nothing.

It’s all about winning a one-off game in North Carolina.�’ Barring an upset of immense proportions, that showdown will come Sunday when Canada and U.S are expected to face off in the final of North America Caribbean Rugby Association (NACRA) Sevens Championships in Cary. N.C. The winner goes to the 2016 Olympics. The loser will have one last chance to get to Rio de Janeiro via a world repechage tournament next year.

The U.S. men finished sixth in the World Series while the Canadians were ninth, with the Americans winning four out of their five meetings. “Previous results mean nothing,�

Middleton repeated.“It’s just about that 20 minutes (Sunday).�

Still the Canadian coach knows the challenge this weekend is sizable. “We are the underdogs coming into this,� he said. “There’s no question about that.�

Both teams will have to handle extreme heat. The forecast calls for a high of 34 degrees Celsius Sunday, feeling like 38.

Canada finished the season strongly, reaching the Cup quarter-finals in four of the last five events. The U.S. won in London, the final stop of the World Series circuit.

Middleton points to the consistency in the American selection this season, with their nine main players available for every tournament bar one. Canada, in contrast, has been hit hard by injuries in Middleton’s first year at the helm.

And the Americans boast sizzling speed in Perry Baker and Carlin Isles, with ample strike support from Madison Hughes, Zach Test and Maka Un-

ufe.

But Middleton has been able to name a strong roster, augmented by overseas pros Tyler Ardron, Jeff Hassler, Taylor Paris and Connor Braid.

Ardron, a back-row forward who is captain of the national 15-man team, and winger Hassler both play for Welsh club side the Ospreys.

Paris, a speedy winger, recently helped Agen win promotion to France’s elite Top 14.

Braid, a back who plays for the Glasgow Warriors, was part of Middleton’s squad in London as an emergency injury replacement.

Phil Mack, an influential member of the squad, returns from a knee injury.

The Canadian men have been placed in a pool with the Bahamas, Cayman Islands, Guyana and Trinidad and Tobago. The other group at features the U.S., Barbados, Jamaica, Mexico and St. Vincent.

Middleton will look to use all his squad in the early going while still trying to build team momentum going into the final. “It’s an unusual one in terms of how we approach the tournament. It’s very much framing a single game without taking your eye off the fact that you’ve still go to make your way to that big collision. It’s a balancing act.�

He says 99 per cent of his team preparation has been around the Americans.

Host Brazil and Fiji, South Africa, New Zealand and England have already qualified for the Olympics by virtue of finishing in the top four of the Sevens World Series.

The other seven Olympic men’s teams will come from six regional tournaments plus the repechage competition. Argentina has already qualified via the regional route.

On the women’s side, Canada has already qualified for Rio by virtue of its second-place finish in the Women’s Sevens Series.

The U.S., which was fifth in the standings, is expected to roll through the NACRA women’s field which also includes the Bahamas, Barbados, Cayman Islands, Guyana, Jamaica, Mexico and Trinidad and Tobago.

Condition upgraded from fair to good for fan hit by broken bat at Fenway Park

She was struck in the head in the second inning when the bat of Oakland’s Brett Lawrie broke and sailed into the seats along the third-base line when he hit a ground ball.

The incident has prompted Major League Baseball to reevaluate fan safety at stadiums.

Carpenter’s family said in a statement Monday that she was responsive and improving.

TORONTO — The Mayor of Hinchtown will be at the Honda Indy Toronto after all.

James Hinchcliffe will serve as grand marshal for the race Sunday at Exhibition Place. The 28-year-old Oakville, Ont., native won’t drive after being seriously injured May 18 during practice for the Indianapolis 500.

Charlie Johnstone, the president of the Honda Indy Toronto, said Thursday that Hinchcliffe has received medical clearance to travel to Toronto. One of his duties Sunday will be to give the traditional “Drivers, start your engines,� command to start the race. “James is a great friend of the race, he’s our home-town hero,� Johnstone said. “We’re blessed his recovery has gone as well as it can and he’s been cleared to join us. “I think that’s a huge testament to him wanting to be here with his team, fellow drivers and IndyCar family. But it’s also what he wants to do for the community and his home-town race.�

This will mark the first time since Hinchcliffe joined IndyCar in 2011 he won’t drive in Toronto, where he finished a career-best eighth in the first of two races in 2013. But Hinchcliffe is expected to make a full recovery after suffering a life-threatening injury when a piece of his suspension broke during the crash and pierced his leg.

Juan Pablo Montoya leads the driver’s standings with 348 points, 35 ahead of Penske teammate Will Power. Scott Dixon, of Target Chip Ganassi Racing, is third 305 points with another Penske driver, Helio Castroneves, standing fourth with 286 points.

Dixon swept the Toronto doubleheader two years ago en route to capturing his third overall crown. But Sunday’s race will be the only one this weekend. “The two-race format is good for the fans . . . but I can tell you on the teams it’s pretty difficult, it’s pretty hard, it’s extremely draining,� said driver Graham Rahal. “This year at Detroit was absolutely brutal, Detroit was the lon-

gest weekend of anybody’s life, I think, with the constant rain. “That’s the worst case and unfortunately when you get put into that position the last thing you want to do is two races. However, I do see it from a fan’s side of things.�

Rahal, whose father Bobby won the inaugural Toronto race in 1986, is fifth overall with 261 points for Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing. The junior Rahal has registered podium finishes in three of the last four road-course races and said Toronto’s 11-turn, 1.755-mile temporary street circuit is very challenging. “If you make a mistake those concrete walls seem to pretty darn close every time,� he said. “There’s no margin (for error) at all out there. “But that’s what’s fun about it and what’s challenging and separates the men from the boys come race day.�

Graham Rahal’s solid showing this season has come with his famous father noticeably absent from the pitbox, a move the younger says was by design. “I can certainly get pretty fired up in the car at times,� Rahal said. “And when I was getting fired up he was just firing right back to me in the pitstand and it didn’t work out too well sometimes so we decided this would be the best way forward. “I think the bigger part of success comes from the team that’s around us versus Dad and I.�

But the ultra competitive nature of both father and son did create some tension on the track. “I think the hardest things, always the most obnoxious things to hear were when he’d be sitting there in the pitstand and (say), ’Well, we really need you to pass that guy,�’ Graham Rahal said. “It’s like, ’Are you freaking kidding me? It’s not like I’m out here cruising around not trying to pass him.’ “Those are the sorts of things that get you pretty ticked off when you’re trying extremely hard but just can’t make any headway and of course they come on radio and start telling you that you need to try harder. We haven’t had that this year and fortunately have had some good runs of things so far.�

Scrubbs hope to catch eye of Raptors

WADA says room for improvement in CFL’s drug testing policy

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

FORMER CARLETON STARS LOOK TO CATCH ON AT FREE AGENT MINI CAMP TORONTO — It was less than three months ago that Phil and Thomas Scrubb and the Carleton Ravens were thoroughly dominating Canadian university basketball, rolling over the opposition en route to their fifth consecutive CIS title.

Thursday, the brothers were just two of 21 players hoping to catch the favourable eye of the Toronto Raptors as part of a two-day free agent mini-camp.

“I know I’m not coming in here as Kobe Bryant and I’m going to take a bunch of shots, be the main guy on the team,” said Phil. “I just tried to come in and work as hard as I can.

“It’s pretty different, everyone’s athletic, everyone’s big, everyone’s pretty much a professional, it’s a lot different from the university level,” he added. “But I think it will be easy to adjust if I work as hard as I can.”

Olu Ashaolu of Toronto, who’s been playing in Japan, and NBA DLeaguers Jordan Bachynski of Calgary and Khem Birch of Montreal were the other Canadians in the camp for players who aren’t draft eligible. The Raptors hope to use it to help stock their summer league squad.

Phil Scrubb, who had 28 points and 10 assists in Carleton’s 47-point rout of Ottawa in the CIS final in March, will attend two more minicamps in Indiana and Dallas. Thomas, who had 20 points and 12 boards in that victory, has only the Toronto camp on his schedule.

Thomas Scrubb said he let nerves get the better of him Thursday morning. With coach Dwane Casey and GM Masai Ujiri among the Raptors staff watching intently, the practice court at the Air Canada Centre was a big leap from the Canadian university gym.

“I think having played in the CIS, I need to show coaches that I can play at this level with highlevel athletes and play at a higher speed and with more physicality than there is in Canada,” he said. “I don’t try to show that I can be a super good scorer, anything special, I’ve just got to

show that I can stay with these guys and play well.

“I need to break out of my comfort zone,” he added. “If you start thinking about who’s watching and who you’re playing against, it’s going to throw you off.”

Dan Tolzman, the Raptors’ director of scouting, said the Scrubbs held their own against a group of mostly older and more experienced players.

“They make the right plays, they make the correct pass, they basket cut, they do a lot of little things that don’t show up on the boxscore in addition to shooting well and just playing good defence,” Tolzman said. “I think for them it helps that they’ve been so well-coached and so they know the game of basketball so well to where something like this isn’t that difficult. They’re just playing basketball.”

THE 2015 FUSION SE LEASE FOR ONLY

CALGARY — Canadian skeleton racer Sarah Reid is devastated over the loss of an Olympic ring that was among the jewellery stolen from her home earlier this week.

The 28-year-old Calgarian raced for her country at the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, last year and finished seventh in her Olympic debut. The Canadian Olympic Committee commissioned commemorative rings for each athlete on the team.

Reid was not home Monday evening when thieves broke into the northeast house..

Her Olympic ring and her grandmother’s pearl and diamond ring were the most precious items taken. Reid, a bronze medallist at the 2013 world championship, says she called police immediately.

The Maple Leaf and the Olympic rings adorn the outside of her Olympic ring that has “Sochi 2014” engraved on the inside. Her grandmother’s ring is set with five pearls and diamonds on either side of each pearl.

policy was implemented.

“We believe it’s creating the right behaviour,” he said. “It’s a made-in-the CFL solution that’s right for us and really puts the players into a position of responsibility.”

But Ayotte said failing to suspend after a first offence doesn’t send a strong enough message.

“This is something I don’t see anywhere else,” said Ayotte, who added the CFL is now sending samples to the U.S. to be tested.

“There’s no organization in the world doing testing and not applying sanctions on the first doping violation.”

Ayotte said part of the reason her lab is refusing CFL tests is that the league doesn’t recognize drug suspensions given to players in university, meaning that they are free to join the league after leaving school. Three of the five players who tested positive this spring were selected in the CFL draft.

“For me that is the core of the problem,” said Ayotte. “The CFL’s behaviour has direct repercussions on our sons and daughters ... training in our universities and colleges and using steroids.”

Copeland said the league was disappointed with the positive tests of the university players in question and is reconsidering that part of the policy moving forward.

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

The World Anti-Doping Agency says the CFL’s drug policy has “room for improvement.”

WADA released a statement Wednesday after the head of the organization’s only accredited laboratory in Canada slammed the league earlier this week for failing to reprimand first-time drug offenders or uphold suspensions handed down in university.

“We continually work with all professional sports in the U.S. to help guide and further enhance their testing programs,” said WADA director general David Howman. “We have also reached out to the CFL for a meeting and are awaiting a response.

“There is room for improvement with the CFL anti-doping program and we would welcome an open dialogue with the league and its players’ union to discuss any enhancements that can be made.”

Christiane Ayotte, the director of the Montreal-based lab, reiterated in a phone interview that the facility won’t be testing CFL samples moving forward because of the league’s policy on performance-enhancing drugs.

“I’ve been here for 30 years. I know what we’ve achieved,” she said. “I know what kind of rela-

tionship we’ve got with Major League Baseball and the players’ association, with the NHL, Major League Soccer and the NBA. “The CFL, by comparison, is really doing nothing. They have a program, but the program is not at all to the (acceptable) level. This is our Canadian league and I cannot accept that.”

CFL president and chief operating officer Michael Copeland said the CFL is proud of its drug policy, pointing to its focus on education, rather than suspension, after a first offence.

“Everybody gravitates to thinking there’s only one solution,” he said.

“I think we’re really forwardthinking in the development of our policy and we’re really happy with the results.”

Copeland added that while the league is open to discussions with the WADA, no such meetings are planned.

The CFL/CFLPA’s 2010 drug policy states that a player who initially tests positive is subject to mandatory testing for two years, but is neither named publicly or suspended. A second offence results in a three-game suspension, while a third positive test means the player receives a year-long ban.

Copeland said there have been no second positive tests since the

Robber caught in the act YOUTH ADMITS GUILT AND NOW AWAITS SENTENCING

BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF Armed with bear spray, a Red Deer youth was one of two people believed responsible for the robbery of an east Red Deer convenience store earlier this spring.

The 17-year-old, who can’t be named because of provisions in the Canada Youth Justice Act, pleaded guilty to the April 27 armed robbery of the Express 24 in Eastview.

Defence counsel Walter Kubanek entered the pleas on behalf of his client before Judge Bart Rosborough in Red Deer youth court on Thursday.

The youth pleaded guilty to robbery,

wearing a disguise with the intent to commit an offence and three counts of breaching various court orders, including having bear spray contrary to those orders.

Red Deer RCMP were called to the Express 24 food mart on Erickson Drive early on April 27 to a report of an armed robbery. On scene before 5 a.m., RCMP caught two people taking cash from the till. Police said one staff member was assaulted and another was in the back and able to call police.

The second staff member reported seeing two men enter the store wearing bandanas over their faces, and one was armed with a machete.

The youth admitted to being armed with bear spray.

Police reported one staff member was sprayed and treated by emergency services personnel for minor physical injuries. The second staff member was not injured.

Police apprehended the suspects.

Kubanek told the judge that his client wished to resolve the matters promptly and was willing to waive his Gladue, pre-sentence report and psychiatric evaluation rights. However, Kubanek and Rosborough expressed concerns to the youth that while he may waive his right, a sentencing judge may order the reports anyway.

The youth relented and agreed to a new pre-sentence report. This delayed the sentencing hearing to July 9 in Red Deer youth court.

TORNADO WARNING

With the acceptance of the guilty pleas, charges including forcible confinement, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose and two counts of assault with a weapon were withdrawn by the Crown.

The youth will remain in custody until his sentencing date.

The male youth is co-accused with Erin Bull, 18.

Bull is charged with two counts of assault with a weapon, forcible confinement, robbery with a weapon, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose and wearing a disguise with the intent to commit a crime.

Bull is due in Red Deer provincial court June 17. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com

IN BRIEF

Donation boosts reading program A donation worth $325,000 has boosted an already growing summer program in Red Deer, Reading College.

Launched in 2012 by Red Deer Public Schools with the support of Red Deer College, the Optimist Clubs of Central Alberta, the annual Cures for Kids Radiothon fundraiser and other donors supported the program. It helps students at the end of Grade 2 who are struggling with reading.

In July, 60 Grade 2 students spend 22 days at Reading College developing these skills.

Longtime Red Deer residents Tom and Joan Chapman have donated $325,000 to the Red Deer and District Community Foundation to be used to support the program.

“The Chapman Literacy Endowment Fund will be a steady source of support to supplement the contribution of the Optimist Clubs in the Central Alberta area for the reading college,” said Kristine Bugayong, Red Deer and District Community Foundation CEO. The endowment fund is open and can receive additional donations from any person.

Three Hills, Trochu water restrictions end Water restrictions imposed after a line break have been lifted in Three Hills, Trochu and Kneehill County.

Residents and businesses were asked to reduce their water usage on Wednesday so as not to drain the town’s reservoir.

Town of Three Hills reported on Thursday morning that the reservoir was back up to 75 per cent capacity and thanked residents in both towns and surrounding Kneehill County for their co-operation.

Residents were told there may be some clarity issues with water because of the potassium permaganate used in water treatment to control taste and colour. It was stirred up as the reservoir was refilled. The harmless additive will soon settle out. In the meantime, residents can run taps for five to 10 minutes to clear their lines.

Bulk water stations in Three Hills and Trochu will reopen on Friday.

Trochu’s splash park will reopen on Friday and lawn watering can resume on an odd-even day system.

Residents are asked to watch their water use through the weekend so as not to draw down the reservoir.

Lindsay Thurber Drama program actors Zachary Strom and Janine Kreil (front), Hayley Nieth and Jonathon Friesen (back) act out an improv skit during the final drama show of the school year at Lindsay Thurber Comprehensive High School on Wednesday. The Maestro event pitted several students against each other with the audience getting involved by supplying ideas for the actors and judging each performance immediately after each skit. securing a ticket to an international competition.

Dodo Freerksen, a 12-year veteran with Wolf Creek Public Schools, finished on top at the competition on June 6 in High River. He showed his driving skills in the big bus category, against 51 competitors.

Freerksen, also a First Group driver, will now drive his way into the International Safety Competition in Minneapolis next month.

Freerksen’s wife Tammy, also a driver with Wolf Creek, took fifth place in the province and earned the title of the 2015 Most Professional Driver in Alberta.

Penhold upgrades road to prevent future floods Work has begun this week in Penhold on a $4-million project to upgrade a key road to form a dike against flooding.

Waskasoo Avenue, south of Lucina Street, will be closed until early September. The Lucina Street intersection will be closed for three weeks in July.

The town is putting in storm and sewer lines and will raise Waskasoo Avenue so it can serve as a dike holding back water from Waskasoo Creek during floods.

Earlier this year, the province approved a $3.36-million grant to cover 90 per cent of the cost of road and drainage work on the east side of the town near the multiplex. Total cost of the project is $3.97 million.

As part of the project, land will be reshaped around the multiplex to protect it from overland flooding. The low-lying area east of town is prone to flooding almost every year. Even a heavy rainfall can cause problems in the nearby subdivision and Penhold Estates manufactured home park.

New construction model used for St. Joe’s project The construction of St. Joe’s High School will be the first publicly funded project in Alberta to use a project model comprising owners, designers, engineers and the construction crew.

Using the Integrate Project Delivery construction model, all stakeholders will have input and contact throughout the construction of the new

Red Deer Catholic Regional Schools high school near 67th Street and 30th Avenue. A news release from the school district said the process aims to align the goals of all parties involved and holds all parties contractually responsible to each other.

The team of stakeholders has met every week for the last six months planning the project. The project is now entering the construction phase after wrapping up the design phase.

Penhold website updated, to be launched on Monday Penhold residents are three mouse clicks away from getting the online information they need.

Keeping clicks to a minimum was the game plan when town staff set about an eight-month project to update the town’s website.

“In order to make town website more user-friendly, we created a rule that all information could be accessed within a three-click standard,” says a staff report to council.

The town has committed to updating and reviewing website information weekly and a committee will meet twice yearly to review the site and ensure it is meeting the needs of local residents and businesses.

The new site will officially be up and running on Monday. See www. townofpenhold.ca.

Drug case put over; change of plea expected A drugs and weapons trial scheduled for this week in Red Deer Court of Queen’s Bench has been cancelled as the two sides appear to have reached a resolution.

A war story, love story and family story with a local connection A Wake for The Dreamland

By Laurel Deedrick-Mayne Friesen Press $25 If you like a book with a good story and if you remember Edmonton in the years 1939 to 1958, the Silk Hat Restaurant, the Macdonald Hotel, McDougall Church and The Dreamland Theatre (or even if you know nothing of those things), you will still love this book.

The three main characters, Robert Faroni, William PEGGY Shepherd and young Annie FREEMAN McGuuire, are best friends.

Robert plays violin and works at the Macdonald Hotel. William is a pianist and is employed by Sid Cohen at Bond’s Haberdashery. Annie is a dressmaker at Simone’s, outfitting the ladies of the city.

It’s June of 1939 and the royal couple George VI and Queen Elizabeth will visit Edmonton during their tour of Canada. Such excitement!

The warm friendship of this threesome can’t last.

Mrs, Faroni wants Robert to find a nice Roman Catholic Italian girl, but Robert is falling in love with Annie. William knows two’s a couple and three’s a crowd.

William’s family still farms in the Peace River country and they want him to come home. He and Annie and Robert visit the farm and it’s a wonderful place, but not for William. He’s finding his place in the world and beginning to accept that he’s gay.

In December 1939, war is declared in Europe.

Robert and William immediately sign up, further estranging William’s pacifist father.

Robert makes William swear that if anything should happen to him, William will “look after Annie.” These are boys in their 20s, naive and anxious to get into the action. They train in Aldershot, England, like soldiers of another war.

Finally, they find themselves on landing craft heading toward the coast of Sicily. The next chapters are by turns jovial repartee of men who are young and rowdy and then serious as soldiers doing an al-

BOOK REVIEW

A unique novel by new and intriguing writer The Shore

By Sara Taylor Doubleday Canada Sara Taylor has pushed herself out of the traditional structure of a novel and written something that I have never read before. During the first three chapters, The Shore reads like a short story instead of a novel.

Each chapter takes place during a different year, rangKIRSTEN ing from 1876 to 2037. The LOWE Shore is a clutter of small islands jutting into the Atlantic Ocean from the coast of Virginia’s Chesapeake Bay. We meet 13-year-old Chloe, who lives with her little sister, Renee, and her addict father, who is a ruthless man. As to the whereabouts of her mother, Ellie, the rumours that are circling around town say she took off to Atlantic City — but Chloe knows the truth.

Life is hard for the girl — she has to protect her sister from predators who linger around the Shore and avoid her heartless father, who has “plans” for Chloe when she is older.

But people should not underestimate young Chloe, because in order to protect herself and Renee, she can become quite deadly.

In 1933, Mark’s childhood best friend, Letty, ran away from home and returned years later with an abusive husband. When she discovers that she is pregnant with Mark’s child, she knows her husband or the courts will not allow her to divorce, and Mark won’t do a thing although he says he will.

In 1876, Medora’s mother was one of the last Shawnee women, and Medora’s rich Caucasian father beat her to death. Her father keeps Medora under lock and key, but when she meets a man called Andrew Day, she sees the chance to escape. They marry but not love — for opportunity, and the couple inherits all her father’s money and move to the shore for a new beginning. But the new beginning is far from what Medora had expected.

Chloe’s mother, Ellie, makes a debut in two chapters — in 1981, she works under a contractor with Bo and two other men. Working with three drunken and aggressive men, Ellie becomes their plaything.

All these are troubling tales of murder, abuse, undesired pregnancies, black magic and addiction. The Shore may be considered home to some, but most of the characters want to flee from the rundown houses and a suffocating presence, only to realize that it is near impossible to escape the Shore for good.

Readers revisit characters and their families, discovering their dark secrets and how far they will go to survive and protect the ones they love.

It is truly amazing how Taylor has constructed this novel that impersonates a collection of short stories.

But all are connected and intertwined by one thing — the Shore — and it just goes to reinforce that history does not only live within people, but the land as well.

I will definitely keep a eye open for more of Taylor’s work. She is a new and intriguing voice in fiction.

BRIEF George RR Martin overseeing Game of Thrones adult colouring book

most undoable job in the midst of fire and blood and noise. The civilians they encounter are desperate and starving, their homes a pile of rubble. Robert and William are no longer young.

The folks at home write letters and send parcels.

William’s family does not.

Annie writes that she’s not sure she’ll wait for Robert. “I can’t remember your face, it’s been too long. We are growing up, I’ll just write as a friend.”

The Edmonton Exhibition is cancelled in 1943 for the first time in 65 years. Annie says, “Isn’t anybody supposed to have any fun?”

For Robert and William, the Italian campaign goes on and on, and their buddies are ripped apart by the shelling. “They slogged through the mud, with the dead and dying littering their path, until the dawn.”

Only one of these young men finds his way home, to peace and sanity.

The cover of this book is a street photo of the three young people. In those years, street photos were commonplace. Some of this story is set in Lacombe and Red Deer, too.

It is a war story, a love story and a family story. A very good summer book.

NEW YORK — George R.R. Martin is joining the adult coloring book game.

Bantam announced Monday that Martin will be overseeing the release of the Game of Thrones Coloring Book, featuring 45 new black and white illustrations by leading fantasy illustrators that are inspired by his A Song of Ice and Fire novels.

The book is scheduled for release this fall and represents another interim project from Martin as his millions of fans await the next installment of his series. Last year, Martin collaborated on The World of Ice and Fire: The Untold History of Westeros and the Game of Thrones, an illustrated guide.

Disclaimer added to popular look at lives of the rich Primates of Park Avenue NEW YORK — The publisher of a popular inside take on Park Avenue life called “Primates of Park Avenue” is responding to factual questions raised about it and says an author’s note will be included in the e-book and future print editions saying some details were altered because of privacy concerns.

Simon & Schuster spokesman Cary Goldstein on Monday blamed an “oversight” for the initial absence of such a disclaimer, common in memoirs. The decision follows a New York Post report alleging several inaccuracies, including the number of years author Wednesday Martin lived on Park Avenue.

Push for a carbon tax a pragmatic move

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — It may seem odd to hear Big Oil tout a policy that would make it costlier to do business.

But experts say recent calls for a carbon tax have pragmatic — not just public relations — motivations.

Michal Moore, an energy economist at the University of Calgary’s School of Public Policy, said savvy companies see a higher price of carbon as “inevitable” and want to influence how those policies take shape.

That’s why the likes of Suncor Energy (TSX:SU) boss Steve Williams have been publicly advocating tougher carbon pricing, Moore said.

When it comes to the impacts of climate change, there’s no “plausible denial anymore,” he said. Take, for instance, the drought ravaging California.

“I can’t read Steve’s mind of course, but I can certainly create good reasons why it makes sense to get out ahead of this and to send a signal to your investors: ’Look, we’re not going to be blindsided by whatever comes down the road,” Moore said.

Williams, whose company is Canada’s dominant oilsands producer, made his carbon price pitch at

a speech in Calgary last month, the sentiments of which were echoed by an executive with Cenovus Energy (TSX:CVE), another major oilsands player.

But the push came with a caveat: that any carbon tax be “broad-based” — applied to consumers and industry alike.

Alberta’s current carbon pricing regime expires at the end of this month, and it’s not clear yet how exactly it will change under the province’s newly elected NDP government.

The Specified Gas Emitters Regulation, the first scheme of its kind in North America, currently charges $15 a tonne for large industrial emitters that exceed a certain threshold. There have been calls to replace it with something more stringent and farreaching.

“If you’re a policy taker, sometimes you don’t like the policy that you get,” said Ed Whittingham, executive director at the Pembina Institute, an environmental think tank.

Suncor has not only come out in favour of stronger carbon pricing, but has stated how it wants such a policy to look, he said.

“I’m sure that was heard up in Edmonton.”

Last month, the CEOs of six major European energy companies signed a letter to the United Nations

making a similar pitch ahead of the Paris climate change talks later this year.

“Pricing carbon obviously adds a cost to our production and our products — but carbon pricing policy frameworks will contribute to provide our businesses and their many stakeholders with a clear road map for future investment, a level playing field for all energy sources across geographies and a clear role in securing a more sustainable future,” the letter said.

Energy firms want certainty and consistency, said Warren Mabee, an energy policy expert at Queen’s University.

“Nobody wants a situation where there are a few jurisdictions where there is no carbon price, and yet the companies are playing on the international market,” he said.

Dave Sawyer, an environmental economist with CMC Research Institutes, said companies like Suncor are trying to show they’re “good corporate citizens” and are onside with public sentiment.

But they’re also “afraid of bad policy.”

“Are they going to try to influence the design of that policy and minimize the impact? Absolutely.

That’s their job.”

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER — A Malaysia-led consortium has become the first in British Columbia to announce conditional approval of a liquefied natural gas project, a major step forward for the Liberal government as it stakes its future on development of the industry.

Pacific NorthWest LNG, which is controlled by Malaysian energy giant Petronas, said Thursday it will confirm a final investment decision on the $36-billion project in northeast B.C. subject to two conditions. The first condition is approval of the project development agreement by the provincial legislature, while the second condition is a positive environmental assessment by the federal govern-

ment.

“In parallel with work to support the final investment decision, Pacific NorthWest LNG will continue constructive engagement with area First Nations, local communities, stakeholders and regulators,” said president Michael Culbert in a statement.

“The integrated project is poised to create thousands of construction and operational careers in the midst of the current energy sector slowdown.”

The consortium is proposing to build an LNG export facility at Lelu Island near Prince Rupert, B.C., which would represent the largest capital investment in the province’s history. In May, the Lax Kw’alaams First Nation rejected a natural gas benefit offer worth $1.15 billion, citing environmental threats to the salmon-rich Skeena River.

Smoke’s Poutinerie looks to expand globally

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — The Ontario founder of Smoke’s Poutinerie is hoping to turn his childhood obsession with Quebec’s quintessential fast-food favourite into a mouth-watering, international sensation.

“We didn’t invent poutine but we’re going to take the Quebec classic to the rest of the world,” said Ryan Smolkin, 41, who grew up eating the comfort food in Ottawa and during summer camp in Quebec.

Smoke’s Eaterie says it plans to open 1,300 restaurants around the world by 2020 devoted mainly to fans of poutine, the messy but delicious mix of french fries topped with cheese curds and smothered in gravy.

After just six years, 100 franchised Smoke’s Poutineries have opened in Canada, mainly in Ontario.

Mont Tremblant is the only location in poutine’s birthplace after a downtown Montreal restaurant closed in 2013.

Smolkin’s goal is to double the Canadian footprint by adding locations mainly in Ontario, Quebec and Western Canada, including 50 by September.

The original strategy was to target young partygoers looking to satisfy their late night cravings. But it also opened in arenas, university and college campuses and amusement facilities like Toronto’s Metro Zoo. The company is now hoping to expand in airports in Canada and the United States.

It is also now branching out with new restaurants that would sell gourmet hot dogs and burritos. By fall, 15 new Smoke’s Burritories and 10 Smoke’s Weineries are expected to open in Canada, joining the first Weinerie in the Halifax community of Dart-

mouth that opened in December.

Hot dog toppings would include peanut butter, jelly, chipotle pulled pork and garlic chips, while classic burritos would be topped with items like roasted corn, black beans, rice and chorizo sausage.

Global expansion plans are focused mainly on the U.S., where the company hopes to have 800 stores within five years.

The first U.S. location in Berkeley, Calif., opened in December and will soon be joined by restaurants in Hollywood and Las Vegas, the company said.

Smoke’s also looks to open 150 restaurants in Western Europe, Australia and the Middle East.

While Quebecers take their poutine very seriously, Smolkin said he hopes to capitalize on its growing popularity, with large restaurant chains like McDonald’s serving their own versions.

“Now poutine is so mainstream so I can target much broader targets than just university pockets,” he said in an interview.

In the U.S. where there is no connection with the history of poutine, the company appeals to consumers by calling the food “loaded fries.”

While Smoke’s expansion plans seem ambitious, Smolkin said he has signed multi-unit deals with food retailing operations including Canadian food service company Compass Group.

Still untapped by Smoke’s Eateries is the food court market that caters to daytime shoppers and already includes competition from other brands such as Toronto-based New York Fries.

Smolkin said he’s been approached by major retailers but has no interest in selling his idea that began about 15 years ago while he operated a brand and design company.

MARKETS CLOSE TORONTO — The Toronto stock market turned lower Thursday amid falling commodity prices and a warning by the Bank of Canada about ongoing risks to the economy as a result of low oil prices and high debt levels.

The S&P/TSX composite index closed down 58.16 points at 14,830.88, while the loonie retreated 0.08 of a U.S. cent to 81.47 cents.

On the commodity markets, the July crude contract closed down 66 cents at US$60.77 a barrel, while the August gold contract fell $6.20 to US$1,180.40 an ounce.

American markets were modestly higher after major gains Wednesday that saw the widely watched Dow Jones industrial average shoot up more than 230 points.

Enthusiasm in New York was helped by a report from the U.S. Commerce Department showing shoppers returned to stores in a big way in May, with retail sales rising a seasonally adjusted 1.2 per cent last month after a 0.2 per cent gain in April.

The Dow added 38.97 points to 18,039.37, while the Nasdaq advanced 5.82 points to 5,082.51 and the S&P 500 gained 3.66 points to 2,108.86.

“I think the main data point for the day globally was basically U.S. consumer sales, retail sales,” said Patrick Blais, senior portfolio manager at Manulife Asset Management.

Although many economists pointed to the breadth of uptick in consumer spending, Blais said he felt it was just the fact that the overall gain came in line with expectations.

“I think there has been a lot of confusion in the marketplace where the U.S. economy stood,” as a result of the weak start to the year, he said.

Now, with retail sales added to last week’s strong employment numbers, it’s giving investors confidence. “The assumption that the U.S. economy can continue to gain traction is coming back to the forefront,” Blais said.

That has some economists predicting U.S. gross domestic product will come in better than expected in the April-June quarter.

“I think the estimates are sort of in the mid-twos,” Blais said.

In Ottawa, the Bank of Canada said in its latest financial system review that the oil slump on its own is unlikely to set off considerable systemic stress and that the probability of a severe

But it warned that the weakness caused by cheaper crude has put the Canadian system more at risk to any event that would lead to widespread job losses and falling incomes. Part of the risk to the system is historically high debt levels in Canada.

Blais said the warning came as no surprise, adding that the central bank wants to see “some normalization when it comes to credit formation, housing prices, borrowing trends.”

“I don’t think there is any need to panic but I do think the Bank of Canada is using messaging to encourage some normalization within balance sheets as well as asset levels. The last thing they want to do is actually have to use interest rates or other measures to try to contain the risks.”

Canadians better at managing consumer debt in Q1

Loblaw Co. Ltd promises that within three and a half years microbeads and two potentially harmful chemicals will be eliminated from its cosmetic and household products — a move that environmentalists say has the company compensating for regulatory shortfalls of the federal government.

The chain, owner of various grocery and Shoppers Drug Mart stores across the country, announced Thursday that it aims to remove Triclosan and phthalates, along with microbeads from all of its Life Brand and President’s Choice products by the end of 2018. Loblaw president Galen Weston said the decision was made as “emerging science and public opinion suggest a measured move away from some specific ingredients is prudent.” All three ingredients have faced increasing global scrutiny for their impact on the environment and possible negative effects on humans. Triclosan is found in some soaps and some cosmetic products and is thought to contribute to antibiotic resistance.

well as a description of the application process and requirements that need to be met.

The procedure for applying for grid tie is laid out in the application and sets out each step in a clear and concise matter.

It covers everything from terminology, definitions, equipment, installation and compensation for the electricity produced. It explains the use of bidirectional meters and bi-directional interval meters, the rules on crediting you for the excess electricity produced, and the payout of excess credits at the end of the year.

For residential purposes, the micro generator is limited to the size of the current service to the property.

That transformer on the power pole is the obvious, legal limit to the size of the generation system. Standard transformer sizes are 7.5 kVa; then the generation unit size limit will be approximately seven thousand watts, (amps times volts multiplied by a power factor to obtain watts).

A small MG configuration could use solar panels, in an array, small wind turbines, which require additional considerations, etc., as long as it remains below this limit.

An inverter, or a series of micro inverters, would convert the array’s direct current voltage, DC, to the familiar alternating current, AC, used by the homes appliances and lighting. This converted electrical current would be tied into the main breaker box where it is distributed.

If more is generated than used by the home, the excess power is metered into the grid. Produce more than consumed and a credit is issued on the next bill.

Solar-sail test a success in space despite problems

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — An experimental solar sail is being called a success three weeks after its arrival in space. The Planetary Society said Wednesday its test flight resulted in an almost full deployment of the sail — an estimated 90 per cent to 95 per cent of the 344-square feet (32 sq. meters) light and shiny surface — and has set the stage for a follow-up mission next year.

The goal is to create a sail that can be propelled through space by sunlight, thus opening exploration to practically anyone, anywhere.

“Solar sailing is worth doing because it has the potential to democratize space,” said the society’s chief executive officer, Bill Nye, more commonly known as Bill Nye the Science Guy. Small organizations will be able to build solar sails and send spacecraft to “almost any destination in the solar system if you have time. You can get there because you never run out of fuel. The sun shines all the time.”

Spacecraft using solar sails could be used to chase asteroids and comets, or observe the sun’s violent storms.

“There really isn’t much of a limit

on what you can do in the solar system,” Nye told reporters, “and this LightSail test flight is the first small step on that long journey.”

The Mylar sail for the current LightSail spacecraft is bigger that many living rooms — 344 square feet (32 square metres) when stretched flat. It was folded into a little boxy spacecraft for its May 20 launch from Cape Canaveral, hitchhiking on a secretive Air Force space plane mission.

For days, the LightSail team struggled with a series of vexing software problems with the spacecraft once it reached orbit. The sail finally opened Sunday on the third try. It wasn’t until seeing a picture beamed down of the open sail, on Tuesday, that the society could declare success.

“That was quite a thrill” seeing the picture, said project manager Doug Stetson. “This has really been a roller coaster ride of emotions, a lot of sleepless nights.”

With its orbit gradually declining, LightSail is expected to re-enter the atmosphere this weekend. The society knew the flight would be short given LightSail’s relatively low orbit. The main objective was to demonstrate the release and operation of the sail.

Husband seems to love money more Dear Annie: Two years ago, I married “Will.” We were both widowed. I had a good job, a nice home and a car. Will was retired and wanted someone to travel with, so I chose to retire in order to spend time with him.

He didn’t like my home, so I sold it.

He already MITCHELL had three cars & SUGAR and said we didn’t need a fourth, and because he preferred his cars to mine (even though mine was newer and paid for), I sold that, too. All I asked was that he provide lifetime rights to his home if something were to happen to him. He agreed and had a will made to reflect that.

ANNIE ANNIE

IN

Here’s the problem: Two months after the marriage, we had a disagreement, and he threatened to change the will. He told me to leave because it was his house.

He has since made the same threat numerous times.

I am not allowed to make any changes to the house without his approval, which he rarely gives.

I found out he was cheating on me, and when I confronted him, he hid the car keys and told me to get out.

I called my sister to pick me up. Of course, as always, he was sorry and begged me to stay.

I have asked Will to sell this house so we could buy something that belongs to both of us.

I told him it would make me feel more secure.

He absolutely refused. I asked that he add my name to the deed, and he refused that, too.

Now he yells at me that I only married him for his money. Annie, there isn’t enough money in the world to put up with this.

Will says he loves me, but I get the impression he loves his house and money more.

I told him if he doesn’t make some changes, I am leaving.

All I want is some security.

Am I wrong? — Stay or Go? Dear Stay or Go: Please go. You will never feel secure with Will.

He is not trustworthy and considers the marriage a power struggle that he has to win.

He will threaten to disinherit you every time you have a disagreement.

He will say he is sorry because he doesn’t want to lose control over you.

This is a recipe for years of misery.

See a lawyer and find out what you need to do to protect yourself financially.

Then pack your bags. If your sister will take you, we recommend letting her help until you get back on your feet.

And please don’t ever put yourself in such a vulnerable position again.

Dear Annie: I read the interesting responses for the nickname Dick. How-

ever, what has me more perplexed is how Peggy came from Margaret. Can you help? — Perplexed Dear Perplexed: Margaret is a popular name in many countries, but the shortened forms “Meggie” and “Meg” are specifically Scottish.

“Peggy” is a variant nickname for “Meggie,” and “Peg” is the same for “Meg.” Margaret, in fact, has a huge number of nicknames, including Madge, Maisie, Marge, Megan, Margot, Molly and some that seem less closely connected, such as Rita and Greta (from Margarita or Margaretta) and Daisy (from the French Marguerite, which is also the French name for the oxeye daisy).

Loved ones will be unpredictable so drop the strict Capricorn schedule and just take things as they come.

BRIEF Man dismissed from jury duty after showing up at Vermont court in prisoner costume ST. JOHNSBURY, Vt. — A Vermont man has escaped jury duty — by getting dismissed for wearing a prisoner costume.

James Lowe says he was released from jury duty on Tuesday when he showed up at court wearing a blackand-white-striped jumpsuit with a matching beanie.

The Caledonian Record reports that Lowe showed up on time and joined other prospective jurors before the start of the selection process.

Deputies directed him to an empty courtroom to meet with the judge, who told him to leave.

Lowe says the judge told him he could have been found in contempt of court.

That could have meant a fine or jail time.

Lowe says the juror instructions don’t restrict clothing.

But he said that he’s happy to be released because of his work schedule and family obligations.

TOOTHLESS SEQUEL BITES JURASSIC WORLD COLLAPSES UNDER THE WEIGHT OF ITS OWN EVER-ESCALATING, UTTERLY NONSENSICAL MADNESS AND MAYHEM JURASSIC WORLD Two stars (out of four) Rated: PG-13

BY ANN HORNADAY ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES

Jurassic World, the third sequel to 1993’s classic fantasy-adventure Jurassic Park, gets off to an imaginative start. After an opening sequence of clawed, ambereyed creatures poking through crackling egg shells, we see an entire taloned leg stomp down, only to have the camera reveal that it belongs to a common bird.

Moments later, a bickering mom and dad are sending their two sons to visit their aunt Claire,

who oversees the operations of Jurassic World, a luxury resort and theme park that has been in operation for more than a decade, inviting visitors to get up close and personal with triceratopses, T. rexes, Apatosauri, pterodactyls and other genetically resuscitated prehistoric creatures. “Remember, if something chases you, run!” the boys’ mother laughs, sending them off.

Sure, it’s all lighthearted foreshadowing until the first fat security guard gets chomped, which happens in due course in Jurassic World, a super-size, self-referential, drastically uneven addition to the Steven Spielberg franchise.

When the kids finally get to Isla Nublar, the younger, dino- ob-

sessed Gray (Ty Simpkins) is dazzled; Zach (Nick Robinson) can barely tear himself away from his cellphone. Once at the sprawling, self-contained theme resort, they are put in the care of a similarly multi-tasking administrative aide, who leads them with casual indifference past sights that would have taken her breath away just 14 years ago, when the most recent Jurassic Park sequel came out. (This movie, however, takes place in a world where the two intervening movies do not exist.)

Aunt Claire — played by Bryce Dallas Howard — is just as blasé: She only cares about increasing attendance numbers. “No one’s impressed by a dinosaur anymore,” she explains to potential

corporate sponsors at one point.

“Consumers want them bigger, louder — more teeth.”

Of course, this is a meta-commentary on the movie industry itself, and a clever way to manage audience expectations. We’re going to give it to you, the filmmakers seem to be saying, but don’t blame us if it all goes kerblooey in a nonsensical, hyperbolic Grand Guignol of CGI mayhem and overkill. Which Jurassic World does, but not before it engages in some cursory character development and promiscuous product placement, which ranges from conspicuous shots of Coke bottles and Imax insignias to a faintly amusing cameo from Jimmy Fallon.

Multi-media exhibit explores Romania’s Wild Men

BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF Whether it’s a Bigfoot, Yeti or ogre, hulking and hairy Wild Men are the stuff of folk legends around the world.

Emily Hope discovered more about the history of these elusive mythical beings — and why they continue to fascinate us — by attending folk festivals during her five-week artistic residency in Romania in 2013.

The artist and photographer travelled to various town squares over the Christmas season and found modernday Romanians dressed in the sheepskin costumes of medieval goatherds.

The anachronistic effect is recorded in photographs, drawings and prints in Hope’s multi-media exhibit, Ta, Ta, Ta! Caprita, Ta! (titled for a Romanian goat-themed song), showing at the Harris-Warke gallery in Red Deer.

Hope’s colourful photos show young people dressed as Muppet-like wild Greybeard characters. Besides hiding behind copious amounts of fake facial hair, they are sporting tassels, cow bells, horns and other accoutrements of a more superstitious time.

Greybeards, as well as Lady Death and assorted Draculi (devils), regularly appear in Romanian nativity plays.

These pageants don’t sugar-coat the Christmas story, but mention King Herod’s Biblical Massacre of the Innocents along with the Wise Men, shepherds and angels visiting Baby Jesus.

lieves Romanians are keeping alive a quirky, localized offshoot of other European Wild Men traditions — from Greek satyr to northern Italy’s Schnappviecher (snapping beast), to French

bear men, to Austria’s Wilder Mann.

“We can find evidence of the Wild Man going back to Gilgamesh,” she added, referring to an epic Mesopotamian poem considered the first example of world literature. It was carved into stone tablets from 2100 B.C. Throughout history, the unbridled creature has played an integral role in festivals, storytelling, art making — even pop culture, considering The Hulk of comic book fame.

Hope added, “He is Puck, Harlequin, Old Saint Nick, and the devil himself. Here in Canada, we know him as Sasquatch.”

She mentioned other Canadian traditions involving unconventional behaviour and disguise — from Newfoundland’s house-crashing Mummers ritual to First Nations legends — even aspects of Halloween.

The Ontario-born artist, who lives in Kamloops, B.C., believes there’s a need to keep Wild Man rituals alive because people need licence to throw off their civilized fetters and misbehave for a while.

The legendary beings tend to be beastly, strong, oversexed and unrestrained. “Things that you can’t give expression to in proper society are applied to Wild Men,” said Hope, who holds a bachelors of fine arts degree from Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops.

A TRIBUTE TO LIBERACE

IN

BRIEF Coupland to unveil public art project in Toronto TORONTO — Douglas Coupland is returning to Toronto to unveil a permanent public art project in the city’s north end.

The acclaimed Vancouver-based artist and author is behind Four Seasons, which will be displayed within the Emerald City condo community.

The artwork will include brightly hued cone-shaped pylons ranging between 14 and 16 metres (48 and 60 feet) in height drawn from colours used in Laurentian pencil crayons.

Coupland’s creation is meant to represent the four distinct seasons as well as conveying “both optimism and a sense of joy in being outside in the physical Canadian world.”

Seven cylinders will also be a part of the public art installation, along with municipal signage resembling crayons in a box.

Toronto recently played host to Douglas Coupland: everywhere is anywhere is anything is everything which concluded its run at the Royal Ontario Museum and Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art in April.

The exhibit coincided with downtown retailer Holt Renfrew Men showcasing Coupland’s self-portrait Gumhead, where individuals applied wads of gum to the sculpture of the artist’s head.

Coupland is slated to speak about the new Four Seasons landscape at a special event at Emerald City on June 20.

Gwen Stefani returning as coach of The Voice NEW YORK — Gwen Stefani is returning as coach of NBC’s The Voice for its ninth season.

The network announced Wednesday that Stefani would be back on the job joining coaches Adam Levine, Blake Shelton and Pharrell Williams.

Stefani is a three-time Grammy winner who has sold more than 30 million albums worldwide.

She made her Voice debut in the seventh season. She now is replacing Christina Aguilera.

STORIES FROM PAGE D1

REVIEW: Humans never learn The main attraction in Jurassic World, which was co-written and directed by Sundance discovery Colin Trevorrow, is the Dr. Moreau-vian creature that the park’s scientists have cooked up to “up the wow factor” with visitors, a massive albino hybrid called Indominus rex that is so potentially lethal that they’ve kept her in a paddock all her own. When things go awry, career-gal Claire’s corporate savvy can’t help her, nor can the philosophical pronouncements of the park’s billionaire owner (Irrfan Khan).

The only man for the job is a rumpled, dimpled animal behaviorist named Owen (Chris Pratt), who has been working with a team of voracious Velociraptors to see if they can be trained. Surrounded by unethical dumbbells who either want to domesticate dinosaurs or commodify or weaponize them, Owen is the only one who seeks to understand them.

Red Deer resident Curtis Labelle is back in fur-lined capes and spangles for A Tribute to Liberace, which is making a return engagement on Saturday, June 27, at Red Deer College’s Welikoklad Event Centre. Labelle is a gifted pianist, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist, who has worked with theatre and production companies all over Western Canada and Yukon for 14 years. More elaborate costumes (ostrich feathers, glitter!), new songs and arrangements, and a bigger and more “fabulous” set, are promised for the expanded two-hour tribute, with open bar. Red Deer native Sarah Anderson is the special guest vocalist. “Don’t miss this chance to see Curtis lend his vibrant energy and unique charm to a tribute to one of history’s greatest entertainers.” Tickets for the 7 p.m. show, presented by Labelle Stage Productions, are $47.35 and are available at the Black Knight Ticket Centre.

Levine and Shelton have been Voice coaches since the series began in 2011.

This will be Williams’ third season.

Carson Daly will return as host for the series. The new season begins in September.

B.B. King kin raise possibility of second will LAS VEGAS — Four of B.B. King’s 11 surviving adult children are raising the possibility that a second will The dynamic between the earthy, authentic Owen and the brittle, dumbbunny Claire is meant to harken back to such vintage romantic adventures as Romancing the Stone and the Indiana Jones movies. But way too much gets lost in translation here: The dim, selfish Claire is as charmless as she is clueless, and her scenes — in which she gets progressively more tousled and scantily attired — are a painful pastiche of sexist tropes.

As Owen, Pratt focuses more on smoldering and looking earnest than calling on the witty persona from Guardians of the Galaxy, a big waste of his natural gifts. The most enjoyable moments of an otherwise oddly joyless film actually belong to Jake Johnson and Lauren Lapkus, who steal the show in an especially amusing scene during a panicked evacuation.

The set pieces, admittedly, are impressive, especially when the benighted Indominus stomps her way to freedom, crushing, impaling and of course eating everything in her path (except the stars, natch). Later, Treverrow stages a large-scale homage to Alfred Hitchcock when the park is attacked by swarming pterodactyls.

had power of attorney — is unfit to become executor or personal representative of King’s estate.

Brent Bryson, a lawyer representing Toney and the estate, dismissed the allegations as “completely ludicrous” and “unsubstantiated by any true facts.”

The daughters allege that Toney moved more than $1 million out of various bank accounts, denied King proper medical care and changed the locks at his Las Vegas home so that the King of the Blues died “alone without any friends or family by his side.”

stumble upon the vine-encrusted SUVs and dusty equipment of John Hammond’s doomed park from way back in ’93, a nod toward Hollywood’s constant self-cannibalization and reflexive need to build bigger, more spectacular edifices on the crumbling ruins of its own past.

Anyone who knows about the role of Darwinian ethics and hubris in the Jurassic canon will understand why ambition doesn’t come in particularly handy in Jurassic World. Nor do the killer instincts of Owen’s raptors — once the villains of the piece, now poised for their moment of redemption.

The promised bigness, loudness and “more teeth” finally arrive during the film’s chaotic final half hour, when a dilemma is resolved by what can only be described as a dino ex machina, Howard goes from Kathleen Turner into full Fay Wray, and the viewer’s only recourse is to brace oneself and try to process the ever-escalating, utterly nonsensical madness and mayhem.

As has been previously observed, every action movie today ends up as Transformers and, even when it’s cloned creatures fighting, the same is true here (with an antic dash of Sharknado tossed in for good measure).

It’s not ambition or technical knowhow or even plucky resourcefulness that save the day in Jurassic World, it’s good old-fashioned anthropomor-

phism.

Humans, it seems, never learn. But if we did, where would sequels come from?

WILD MEN: Remain at one with nature Modern humans may have a need to believe that some beings remain unspoiled, unexplained and free.

While we are becoming more removed from the natural environment, which is exploited and threatened, Hope noted that Wild Men remain at one with nature.

Recent studies also found a correlation between a belief in the supernatural and more social and political unrest.

Hope believes the popularity of vampires, zombies, fairy tale characters and other mythical creatures has increased with high-profile incidents of global terrorism.

“When people are unsure about what’s going on in the world and they feel out of control, the supernatural pops up.”

A mirror of Hollywood WHY I LOVE ENTOURAGE, THE SHOW I’M SUPPOSED TO HATE

BY ALYSSA ROSENBERG ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES Toward the end of Entourage, the movie follow-up to the long-running HBO series, a group of entertainment company executives are discussing a young actress, Emily Ratajkowski.

A murmur goes up around the table.

“Oh, I like her!” one man declares.

Dana Gordon (Constance Zimmer), the long-suffering friend-tagonist to superagent Ari Gold (Jeremy Piven), and one of the only women in the room, heaves an enormous sigh and bows her head, stopping just short of banging it repeatedly on the polished wood.

That’s not an uncommon reaction to Entourage, a show that has curdled in critical opinion like Avión tequila getting sour in the sun. And I come today — despite the “Let’s Hug It Out” T-shirt in my desk drawer — not to defend Entourage, not exactly.

Everything the show’s critics say about it is true. The utter refusal of Entourage to make its four core characters grow in any particularly meaningful way stripped the show of smalld drama long before it went off the air. The house style, which includes a preference of introducing the characters’ more disposable sexual partners nipple-first, makes the Fast and Furious franchise, which has its own share of upskirt shots, look like the vaguely Catholic family drama it’s always aspired to be. Vincent Chase (Adrian Grenier) is a truly terrible actor.

But I started watching Entourage shortly after it went off the air and after I started writing about the entertainment industry full-time as the culture editor at ThinkProgress. And binging on the show at the same time that I began reporting on Hollywood’s woeful record of both on-screen and behind-the-camera diversity was illuminating.

The same people who hate Entourage often tend to be strong proponents of the idea that Hollywood is a wretched hive of sexism and racism, but I don’t know that I’ve ever seen anyone acknowledge that those two ideas produce a useful synthesis. If Entourage is an obscene portrait of white male entitlement, lifestyle porn for gross bros everywhere, it’s because Hollywood is, for a certain class of men, precisely this sort of wonderland.

“Yes, it smacks of a certain kind of misogyny, but it’s reflective of what actually exists here,” Franklin Leonard, a former agent and the founder of the script-writing competition the Black List, told me in April when Entourage came up during a more general discussion of diversity in the entertainment

COMMENT industry. “As much as it is detestable, it is weirdly valuable as (an illustration that) this is what the world is like.”

My posse on Entourage was never Vince, an actor who keeps failing upward despite his obviously modest talents; Eric (Kevin Connolly), Vince’s best friend, who rises from managing a fast-food restaurant to running Vince’s career; Johnny Drama (Kevin Dillon), Vince’s obscene, rage-a-holic halfbrother; and Turtle (Jerry Ferrara), a sponge who dries out — and correspondingly shrinks in size — over the course of the series.

It was the crew of women who had to put up with their nonsense and that of Ari. There was Shauna (Debi Mazar), Vince’s publicist, who was constantly irked by Vince’s sloppiness and Eric’s laxness in managing him and deeply disgusted by Drama and Turtle. But her low-level contempt for the gang never kept her from making money off them or doing her best work on Vince’s behalf, no matter how little effort he put out in return.

We had Barbara Miller (a brassy, composed Beverly D’Angelo), who became Ari’s business partner after he started his own agency, generally ob-

serving Ari’s tantrums with the kind of bemusement parents reserve for talented but frustrating children. I sympathized with Melissa Gold (Perrey Reeves), subsumed in classic Hollywood fashion into her husband’s identity and known as Mrs. Ari, rather than her own name, for much of the series. A former actress whose personal wealth makes many of Ari’s schemes possible, Melissa’s efforts to negotiate a marriage that is at least minimally satisfying provided some of the best, most poignant scenes in the series and brought out the best in Piven.

And, most of all, there was Dana Gordon. Ari’s last girlfriend prior to his marriage, Dana began the series as a vice president at Warner Brothers.

And while she appeared in slightly less than a quarter of the episodes on Entourage, Dana’s career provides an important parallel with Ari’s. Where Ari’s affection for and faith in Vince tend to influence his judgment, and not for the better (a trend that continues into the Entourage, movie), Dana learns early that she can’t let her history with Ari get in the way of her career. After his indiscretion gets Dana fired from Warner Brothers, she begins a steady march up the corporate ladder, eventually landing her old boss’s job as head of the studio.

From that point on, she avoids some

of Vince’s biggest disasters, passing on his horrendous biopic of Pablo Escobar and spotting his drug problem before Ari can bring himself to acknowledge it. And when they briefly rekindle their romantic relationship in the final season, Dana encourages Ari to return to Melissa when she realizes that he’s still in love with his wife. Maybe it’s supposed to be a heartbreaking development, but it’s a liberating one, too: Dana is the rare female character on Entourage to find a way to have Ari Gold in her life without making her happiness dependent on him.

These women don’t dominate Entourage, but there are enough of them, and their perspective is given enough weight that their presence doesn’t feel purely coincidental. (The Entourage movie itself hinges on a film investor’s sexual obsession with a young actress and shows Jessica Alba leveraging a director’s sexual harassment of her for a greenlight of her passion project.)

Shauna, Barbara, Melissa, Dana and, later, Amanda Daniels (Carla Gugino) and Lizzie Grant (Autumn Reeser) can keep up with Ari, obscenity for obscenity and penetrating insight for penetrating insight. They’re neither prudes nor scolds, and they make it consistently clear that they think the male characters’ behavior is often either disgusting or pitiable.

Lee made his first appearance as the famous vampire in Dracula, opposite Cushing’s Van Helsing.

Film critic Matthew Sweet said Lee brought a sensuality to the role that chimed with the newly permissive times. While Bela Lugosi, the definitive 1930s Dracula, “postures and glides, Lee is rough and muscular,” Sweet wrote in 2007.

“Lee’s performance convinced a generation of scholars that Dracula was a book about sex, and not about vampires,” Sweet said.

Lee went on to play the Transylvanian vampire in sequels including Dracula: Prince of Darkness.

LONDON — Christopher Lee, an actor who brought dramatic gravitas and aristocratic bearing to screen villains from Dracula to James Bond enemy Scaramanga, has died at age 93.

Lee appeared in more than 250 movies, including memorable roles as the wicked wizard Saruman in The Lord of the Rings trilogy and the evil Count Dooku in two of George Lucas’ Star Wars prequels. But for many he will forever be known as the vampire Count Dracula in a slew of “Hammer Horror” movies — the gory, gothic thrillers churned out by the British studio in the 1950s and 1960s that became hugely popular.

SPECIAL He railed against the typecasting, however, and ultimately the sheer number and range of his roles — from Sherlock Holmes TOPPED WITH RED ONION, to the founder of Pakistan QUINOA, ALMONDS — secured his place in & RASBERRY VINAGRETTE film history.

“I didn’t have dreams of being a romantic leading man,” Lee told The Associated Press in 2002.

“But I dreamed of being a character actor, which I am.”

An official for the RoyALL al Borough of Kensington and Chelsea in London on

elite boarding school, and joined the Royal Air Force during the Second World War. Poor eyesight prevented him becoming a pilot, and he served as an intelligence officer in North Africa and Italy.

After the war, the 1.83-meter, sepulchral-looking Lee was signed to a contract with Britain’s Rank studio, and spent the next decade playing minor roles in a series of formulaic pictures.

He also appeared briefly in Laurence Olivier’s Hamlet in 1948 — as did his future Hammer co-star, Peter Cushing.

FRODLE Elsie Mary It is with heavy hearts that we announce the loss of our beloved sister, sister-in-law and aunt, Elsie Mary Frodle who passed away at the age of 89 on Thursday, June 4, 2015 at the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre.

Elsie is survived by her sister, Juanita and her husband, Lawrence (Johnsson) and their three daughters, Nancy, Jamie (Mark Petrowich) and Lori (Sandy McMurray); her dedicated sister-in-law Lewanna and her family, Tyron, Tonya, Ryan (Sabrina) and Kyle; along with ten great nieces and nephews and two great great nephews. Elsie was predeceased by her father, Joseph (1968), mother, Magdalen (2002) and her best brother, Edward (2004).

Elsie was born on August 5, 1925 in East Coulee, Alberta and then resided in the Huxley/Trochu area before moving to Calgary, Red Deer and Sylvan Lake. She owned The Tartan Shop and worked for the Bay Parkade and Zellers stores.

She loved to play her mandolin, guitar, sing and yodel. She was a talented tailor, artist, gardener, cook and bird-watcher and was devoted to her Siamese cats. She loved visiting Hawaii and spent thirteen winters there. Services will be held at the Eventide Funeral Chapel, 4820 45 Street, Red Deer, Alberta on Saturday, June 13 at 3:00 PM. Western attire is encouraged. Those wishing to make a donation in the memory of Elsie please consider the Canadian Diabetes Association or the Red Deer and District SPCA.

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

EAST 40 PUB SWAIN Norman Edward 1945 - 2015 After a valiant fight against cancer, we are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Norman “Norm” Swain on June 4, 2015 at the age of 70 years.

Fundamentally, Norm was a builder. He constructed and renovated his home through the 80s, a house initially built in 1936 and still standing strong today.

Whenever possible Norm would hospitably open its rooms and provide shelter to family and friends alike. Norm also built an incredible career: starting as a roughneck in the oil patch he would eventually work overseas as a rig manager, an achievement which demonstrated his inspiring work ethic and thirst for adventure. Valuing and respecting the differences among people, Norm built many friendships.

When times were tough he would never hesitate to lend support to a friend in need, and consistently proved to be generous and kind-hearted.

Most importantly, Norm built an extraordinary family. He is survived by his son, Martin Swain, his daughter, Jennifer Swain, and his seven grandchildren, Jade, Conner, Stephanie, Shoney, Joshua, Tavia, and Heather. Norm is also survived by his sisters, Linda and Rosalie-anne, and their families. Norm is predeceased by his mother, father, and son, Daniel, and beloved cat, Beauty. Norm passed away surrounded by family, and a private Graveside Service took place June 8, 2015. If desired, Memorial Donations in Norm’s honor may be made directly to the Red Deer Hospice Society at www.reddeerhospice.ca.

Condolences may be sent or viewed at www.parklandfuneralhome.com.

Arrangements in care of Ashley Paton, Funeral Director at PARKLAND FUNERAL HOME AND CREMATORIUM, 6287 - 67 A Street (Taylor Drive), Red Deer.

criminal charges should be filed.

CLEVELAND — A judge said Thursday that enough evidence exists to charge two white policemen in the fatal shooting of a 12-year-old black boy who was holding a pellet gun, a largely symbolic ruling because he can’t compel prosecutors to charge them.

Municipal Court Judge Ronald Adrine ruled there’s probable cause to charge rookie officer Timothy Loehmann with murder, involuntary manslaughter, reckless homicide or dereliction of duty in the November shooting death of Tamir Rice. And he ruled there’s evidence to charge Loehmann’s partner, Frank Garmback, with reckless homicide or dereliction of duty.

The judge made his ruling after a group of activists submitted affidavits asking the court to charge the officers.

“This court reaches its conclusions consistent with the facts in evidence and the standard of proof that applies at this time,” the judge wrote.

The Cuyahoga County Sheriff’s Department recently completed its investigation and gave its file to the county prosecutor, whose staff is reviewing the case while preparing to take it to a grand jury to determine if

Judge rules against family in effort to reclaim Naziseized masterpiece LOS ANGELES — A federal judge in California has dealt a blow to a Jewish family’s prolonged battle to regain ownership of a masterpiece painting seized from a woman fleeing Nazi Germany in 1939 and now on display in a museum in Spain.

Judge John Walter found that under Spanish law, the ThyssenBornemisza Museum in Madrid is the rightful owner of Rue Saint-Honore, Apres-midi, Effet de Pluie, an 1897 masterpiece by Camille Pissarro depicting a Parisian street scene. In last week’s ruling, Walter dismissed a 2005 lawsuit filed by the woman’s heirs against the museum, but urged the institution to consider what would be fair to victims of Nazi persecution.

On Thursday, the family’s attorney promised to appeal Walter’s ruling to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco, saying the museum’s position is “morally and legally wrong.”

“Museums and governments around the world recognize the need to return Nazi-looted art to its rightful owners,” attorney Laura Brill said.

“The museum is not doing the right thing here.”

Brill represents Ava and David Cassirer, the Americans whose greatgrandmother, Lilly Cassirer, was forced to hand over the Pissarro to the Nazi government in 1939 in exchange

to refuse to work. The day before, inmates tossed a gasoline can at a small wooden guardhouse, lighting it on fire. That guard narrowly escaped with burned hair. Prison authorities blamed Woodfox for that attack as well.

Miller left for work that day feeling apprehensive, his widow recalled.

He entered the Pine 1 dormitory — a scene of unruliness days before — to get a cup of coffee from the “trusty,” a serial sex offender named Hezekiah Brown — and was attacked with a lawnmower blade and a handmade prison knife called a shiv.

The Associated Press covered the crime that day, reporting that Deputy Warden Lloyd Hoyle said the killing happened while only a few inmates were in the dormitory, and most of the rest were eating breakfast in a dining hall.

“There was an abundance of physical evidence available at the crime scene in 1972, but not one piece of physical evidence incriminated Mr. Woodfox,” wrote U.S. District Judge James Brady. The case against Woodfox and other Black Panther organizers “was built largely on eyewitness testimony,” and many of those witnesses have died.

Particularly disturbing are lingering doubts about Brown, the state’s “star witness.” He gave conflicting testimony to detectives before fingering Woodfox, and was later discovered to have received “inducements” for his testimony, the judge said. for $360 and a visa to leave the country.

After the Second World War, Lilly Cassirer said she accepted about $13,000 in restitution in the German courts after unsuccessful attempts to find the painting.

Nuke deal won’t clear up questions about Iran’s past weapons work, officials say WASHINGTON — World powers are prepared to accept a nuclear agreement with Iran that doesn’t immediately answer questions about past atomic weapons work, U.S. and Western officials said. Washington has said such concerns must be resolved in any final deal.

After a November 2013 interim accord, the Obama administration said a comprehensive solution “would include resolution of questions concerning the possible military dimension of Iran’s nuclear program.”

But those questions won’t be answered by the June 30 deadline for a final deal, officials said, echoing an assessment by the U.N. nuclear agency’s top official earlier this week. Nevertheless, the officials said an accord remains possible. One senior Western official on Thursday described diplomats as “more likely to get a deal than not” over the next three weeks.

Much of Iran’s alleged work on warheads, delivery systems and detonators predates 2003, when much of Iran’s nuclear activity first came to light.

BRIEF Tenth person dies from MERS outbreak SEOUL, Korea, Republic Of — South Korea reported a 10th death from the MERS virus on Thursday, although officials say they believe the disease has peaked.

The victim was a 65-year-old man who had been treated for lung cancer and was hospitalized in the same facility as another MERS patient, the Health Ministry said.

The outbreak of Middle East respiratory syndrome has caused panic in South Korea. It has infected more than 120 people since the first case, a 68-year-old man who had travelled to the Middle East, was diagnosed on May 20.

About 3,800 people remained isolated Thursday after possible contact with infected people, according to the ministry. More than 2,600 schools and kindergartens across South Korea were closed.

On Wednesday, experts from the World Health Organization and South Korea urged the schools’ reopening as the outbreak in the country has so far been contained to hospitals and there is no evidence of sustained transmission in the community.

South Korean officials believe the outbreak may have peaked, although they say the next few days will be crucial to determining whether their efforts to isolate patients and control the disease have worked. Three people diagnosed with MERS were released from hospitals Thursday, bringing the total discharged to seven.

President Park Geun-hye postponed her planned U.S. visit scheduled next week to focus on coping with the outbreak.

Most of the deaths so far have been of people who had been suffering from pre-existing medical conditions.

Manhunt focused near prison INVESTIGATORS BELIEVE EMPLOYEE BACKED OUT AS GETAWAY DRIVER

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DANNEMORA, N.Y. — Investigators believe a female prison employee had agreed to be the getaway driver in last weekend’s escape by two killers but never showed up, a person close to the investigation told The Associated Press on Thursday.

The person said that was one reason the manhunt was focused on the woods only a few miles from the maximumsecurity Clinton Correctional Facility. The person was not authorized to discuss the investigation and spoke on condition of anonymity.

David Sweat, 34, and Richard Matt, 48, used power tools to cut through steel and bricks and crawled through an underground steam pipe, emerging from a manhole outside the 40-foot walls of the prison, authorities said.

The person close to the investigation said authorities believe Joyce Mitchell — an instructor at the prison tailor shop, where the two convicts worked — had befriended the men and was supposed to pick them up Sat-

Mitchell has not been charged. Her son, Tobey Mitchell, told NBC on Wednesday that she checked herself into a hospital with chest pains Satur-

In a renewed burst of activity near the prison, police using dogs and helicopters blocked off a main road and concentrat-

ed their sixth day of searching Thursday on a swampy area just a couple of miles from the institution, situated about 32 km from the Canadian border.

Schools were closed, and residents received automated calls warning them to lock their doors, close their windows and leave outside lights on.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo said that investigators had received tips that the convicts were in the area, and that tracking dogs had picked up the scent Thursday morning.

But he added: “Look, they could either be four miles from the prison or they could be in Mexico. Right? So you just don’t know.”

Law enforcement officers walking an arm’s length apart were conducting a grid search through a cordoned-off area consisting of mud, woods, thick underbrush and several houses, Sheriff David Favro said. He said there had been no reports of stolen or abandoned vehicles, break-ins or abductions.

State Police said they bolstered the force looking for the fugitives to 500 officers from 450 a day earlier.

KATHMANDU, Nepal — A landslide triggered by heavy rainfall buried at least 21 people and left dozens missing as they were sleeping at night in six villages in Nepal’s mountainous northeast, officials said.

Rescuers dug out the bodies and searched the rubble for survivors in Taplejung district, about 500 kilometres (310 miles) east of the capital, Kathmandu, said police official Shanti Raj. At least 24 people are missing but the number could be higher, he said.

The weather improved, allowing a rescue helicopter to reach the area and evacuate eight injured people.

The nearest town is at least five hours’ away on foot when the weather is good, but getting to the site was taking much longer for rescuers on Thursday because of rains and fog, said Home Ministry official Laxmi Dhakal in Kathmandu.

There are no government offices or police stations in the area.

Landslides are common in mountainous Nepal during the rainy monsoon season, which began in June and ends in September.

The Himalayan nation is still recovering from earthquakes in April and May that killed more than 8,700 people and caused massive damage, with many of the roads cut off by landslides.

Meanwhile, the government announced Thursday it would hire international experts to study trekking routes in the mountains of Nepal to see if they are safe for hikers to return.
