Wage plan panned BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF A $15 minimum wage for low-income earners is not winning praise from the Central Alberta small business community. Reg Warkentin, Red Deer Chamber of Commerce policy co-ordinator, said bottom lines will take a hit if the minimum wage is bumped to $15 from $10.20 by 2018. The Alberta NDP government promised the hike as part of its election campaign as a means to combat poverty. On Oct.1, the first of the phased increase will be implemented. The initial increase amount will be announced in July.
The Alberta Chambers of Commerce recently adopted a policy that looks at the concerns from the business community including potential staff reductions. It includes recommendations such as assessing the wage annually and only revise by a percentage equal to the percent change in the Alberta Consumer Price Index and alternative poverty reduction strategies. Warkentin said there will Reg Warkentin likely be a shift in the demographic where workers such
as students may see the brunt of the layoffs. He said it would also cause a domino effect with staff costs where employees making $16, for example, would want a $3 increase too. A boost to the wage is not a remedy for the poverty problems facing some Albertans, he said. “If you are trying to get rid of poverty you cannot put it entirely on the backs of small business,” said Warkentin. “There are a lot of players that need to get involved.” An estimated 25,700 employees or 1.5 per cent in the province make the minimum wage compared to 6.8 per cent nationally and 9.1 per cent in Ontario based on 2014 numbers.

SYLVAN LAKE
Rain fails to stop 1913 Days BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF A little rain or wind does not scare off the average Sylvan Laker. Saturday’s intermittent rain showers may have had residents ducking for cover in nearby shops but it did not damper spirits for 1913 Days. Denise Sanderson and her family never miss a parade or community event. Her family, including her children — Brock, Taylor and Patric — secured a great spot to watch the parade go by. Sanderson said the 1913 Days always offer a lot of fun for the whole family. “We’re glad the rain stopped for the parade,” she laughed. But like many others they were sporting rain gear and armed with umbrellas should the skies opened up again. Sylvan Lake Mayor Sean McIntyre said the crowds were a little smaller than usual years but there were many toughening it out for a good time.

Antipsychotics, restraints used more often in Central Zone BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF
LONG-TERM CARE
Potentially inappropriate use of antipsychotics and the use of daily restraints in long-term care was at a higher than average rate in Alberta’s Central Zone for 2013-14, according to the Canadian Institute for Health Information. The latest data available for antipsychotics showed Alberta had the lowest provincial rate at 25 per cent and was on the decline, but Central Alberta climbed to almost 35 per cent. The national rate was 30 per cent. National data was calculated from about 57 per cent of long-term care facilities. Results were based on full coverage in British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario and Yukon and partial coverage in Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland and Labrador. No data was available for Quebec, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Northwest Territories and Nunavut. CIHI looked at how many long-term care residents were taking antipsychotic drugs without a diagnosis of psychosis. The drugs are sometimes used to manage behaviours in residents who have dementia. CIHI says the inappropriate use of antipsychotics in long-term care is associated with side effects like sedation and movement disorders and even premature death.

‘IT’S POSSIBLE (ANTIPSYCHOTICS) ARE BEING USED MORE AS A CHEMICAL RESTRAINT THAN TO TREAT SOMETHING THAT IS ACTUALLY MENTALLY WRONG WITH AN INDIVIDUAL AND THAT’S WHAT PEOPLE ARE WORRIED ABOUT.’ — KIRA LEEB CIHI DIRECTOR OF HEALTH SYSTEM PERFORMANCE
“It’s possible (antipsychotics) are being used more as a chemical restraint than to treat something that is actually mentally wrong with an individual and that’s what people are more worried about,” said Kira Leeb, CIHI director of health system performance, on Friday. Consort Hospital and Care Centre had a rate of 65 per cent, Stettler Hospital and Care Centre was at 44 per cent, Rimbey Hospital and Care Centre was at 37 per cent, Bethany CollegeSide was at 34 per cent, Olds Hospital and Care Centre was at 30 per cent, Extendicare Michener Hill was at 29 per cent, and Bentley Care Centre was at 10 per cent. It’s the first time CIHI has publicly released data
on the long-term care sector. In Central Alberta, data as from 40 long-term care facilities. Central Alberta only did better than the Alberta and national rates for two out of nine indicators — the rate of residents who fell and improved physical functioning. “Of the picture we can paint of long-term care facilities, there are definitely areas where the Central Zone could improve,” Leeb said. The rate of residents in physical restraints in Central Alberta was high. It dropped to 18 per cent, compared to the declining rate of nine per cent for both Alberta and Canada. Restraints are sometimes used to manage behaviours or prevent falls, but is not considered best practice. CIHI says research shows restraints can lead to injury and falls, and can increase confusion and agitation and raises concerns about safety and quality of care. Bentley Care Centre had a rate of 41 per cent, Innisfail Health Centre was at 35 per cent, Rimbey Hospital and Care Centre was at 32 per cent, Good Samaritan Clearwater Centre in Rocky Mountain House was at 25 per cent, Bethany CollegeSide was at seven per cent, Bethany Sylvan Lake was three per cent, and Extendicare Michener Hill was at two per cent.

Human Rights Watch raises concerns over B.C. terrorism trial
RELAY FOR LIFE
BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
HALIFAX — The agency that operates Canada’s blood donor clinics is planning to make it easier for older donors to give blood, saying it will introduce changes this fall that will lift some eligibility restrictions on new and dedicated donors alike. Canadian Blood Services says the changes include dropping a requirement that all first-time donors 61 years of age and older submit a doctor’s letter confirming they are fit to give blood. As well, the agency says it will scrap the same requirement for repeat donors between the ages of 67 and 71 who have not donated in the past two years, and for repeat donors 71 and over who are currently required to get an annual physician assessment. “We are looking at making changes to that policy
Chris Overacker, a co-owner of Pnewko Trucking Ltd , said his Lacombe-based plastic recycling business will likely not be affected. He has 15 employees including two summer students. The younger workers make between $12 and $14 an hour. But Overacker said the consumers will be forced to pay more in the end if the wage is boosted. “If a small business is forced to pay a certain wage, their products will go up,” he said. “At your local Tim Hortons, you will be paying $3 for a cup of coffee instead of $2. They are not going to pay the difference.” Overacker agreed an increase to the minimum wage will not help the low income earners in the long run because they will be paying more for goods. “It’s not like they are going to have that extra money in their wallets,” he said. “It’s just going to go to food and gasoline and whatever they need to survive.” Fred Scaife, Red Deer Food Bank executive director, said any increase to the minimum wage is positive for a lot of the people who visit the food bank but it will not help for the long haul. Scaife said he hopes the government will lean toward a living wage as opposed to zeroing in on the minimum wage if they want to fight poverty. “It’s really the living wage standard that causes people to come to our doors,” said Scaife. “Then when you look at a living wage it is not entirely based on the amount of money you are making an
1913 DAYS: Marked 95th anniversary of town It has been a long-standing tradition to serve up a pancake breakfast in the morning and a parade in the afternoon. Last year the town added a festival on Lakeshore Blvd. with street performers, face painting, musical performers, bouncy castles and food vendors. The street performers had to flee for cover a few times to escape the heavy rain storms but the show went on. “Rain or shine Sylvan Lakers just want to have a good time,” he said. “Our whole aim with our infrastructure improvements and the events that we host down here is to make downtown Sylvan Lake a really fun and interesting place to be. So far people really seem to enjoy it.” This year marked the 95th anniversary of the town. New resident Amanda Sepke was just happy to show her three children a good time. She moved to the town from Saskatchewan about a year ago. “I’ve never been to these days so it’s going to be fun,” she said. “We’re looking forward to the parade and bouncy castles.” crhyno@reddeeradvocate.com

RESTRAINTS: Impacts quality of life She said restraining residents obviously impacts quality of life and prevents them from being active. “The use of restraints to eliminate falling is not considered to be the best practice in terms of looking after people.” CIHI long-term care data showed: ● Improved physical functioning: Central Alberta had a rate of 38 per cent, Alberta was at 33 per cent, Canada was 32 per cent. ● Experiencing pain: Central Alberta had a rate of 12 per cent, Alberta was at nine per cent, Canada was 10 per cent. ● Experiencing worsened pain: Central Alberta had a rate of 20 per cent, Alberta was at 14 per cent, Canada was 11 per cent. ● Worsened depressive mood: Central Alberta had a rate of 35 per cent, Alberta was at 30 per cent, Canada was 24 per cent. ● Worsened physical function: Central Alberta had a rate of 37 per cent, Alberta was at 36 per cent and Canada was 34 per cent. ● Worsened pressure ulcer: Central Alberta had a rate of four per cent, Alberta and Canada were at three per cent. ● Falls in the last 30 days leading up residents’ quarterly clinical assessment: Central Alberta had a rate of 14 per cent, Alberta and Canada were at 15 per cent. Leeb cautioned that the nine indicators only provided a partial picture of long-term care. “You can’t capture everything. Typically there are lots of good things in a complicated care environment that go on that we don’t get to measure.” szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com

whereby that (doctor’s letter) will no longer be required,” said Mark Donnison, vice-president of donor relations. “We’re looking at a number of different steps to make the blood donation effort more convenient for people.” There are about 420,000 blood donors in Canada at any given time, but Donnison said the non-profit agency has to work hard at recruitment to maintain that level. On average, about 170,000 donors drop out every year, either because they have to or they choose to stop. Older donors are important because they tend to give more blood. A third of all donors are over 50, but that group produces about 45 per cent of donations, said Dr. Mindy Goldman, medical director, donor and clinical services. “We now have quite a lot of experience with older donors and we now see that we do not need an extra medical assessment on these donors,” she said.

VANCOUVER — A terrorism trial underway in British Columbia runs disturbingly parallel with an emerging trend in U.S. anti-terror efforts targeting some of society’s most vulnerable people, says an international human rights group. Human Rights Watch members have been observing the case of John Nuttall and Amanda Korody, two Vancouver-area residents found guilty earlier this month of plotting to decimate the provincial legislature with pressure-cooker bombs. Andrea Prasow, the organization’s deputy Washington director, says the case resembles U.S. authorities’ post-9/11 undercover operations to thwart terror attacks before they happen. “What we’ve seen allegations of (in B.C.) are at least similar practices to what we’ve seen in the U.S.,” said Prasow. “Federal law enforcement authorities targeting in sting operations people who are particularly vulnerable.” A B.C. Supreme Court jury convicted the pair of conspiring to commit murder and possessing explosives for the benefit or on behalf of a terrorist organization. The attack was planned for Canada Day in 2013. Defence lawyers want the verdict thrown out when they return to court on June 29. They argue the couple was entrapped by police and induced to commit terrorist crimes. During a lengthy trial, jury members heard Nuttall and Korody were recovering drug addicts living on welfare and were radicalized by extremist material online. Police briefing notes presented in court described Nuttall as possibly “developmentally delayed.” Prasow raised the theory that some individuals might only break the law after being drawn in by undercover police. “They might say all sorts of horrible things that you and I find offensive, but that doesn’t mean that they would commit a crime.” Law Prof. Kent Roach, at the University of Toronto, said Canadians may not be aware of tactics employed by investigators in their own country. “Like the American police, our police are using these fairly elaborate undercover operations as a way to investigate terrorist suspects,” he said. The exploitation of suspects’ vulnerabilities is always a relevant defence, he said.

Money bill tops agenda LEGISLATURE
EDMONTON — Alberta’s Opposition Wildrose party is urging Premier Rachel Notley’s NDP not launch its new era Monday by spending billions of dollars with little explanation. The first session of the legislature under Notley’s team will run for the next couple of weeks and focus on an interim supply bill to keep the money taps flowing in Alberta until the NDP can bring in a full budget in the fall. Wildrose finance critic Derek Fildebrandt said the bill will be, in effect, a “mini-budget” to cover about half-a-year’s payments for a budget already well over $40 billion in spending. “You can’t be pulling this money from thin air,” said Fildebrandt. “We need a big picture of the finances with the details to see if the numbers actually add up.” The original budget for the 2015-16 fiscal year was introduced, but never passed, by the former Progressive Conservative government before the Tories were defeated in the May 5 election. Notley won a majority government on a platform that promised a radically different budget. It included a hike to corporate income taxes, more spending for health and education and a rollback of proposed PC hikes to taxes and user fees. She said Finance Minister Joe Ceci and his staff will be working through the summer to bring in a revised budget in the fall to match those promises.

BRIEF Small earthquake hits area of Alberta where others were linked to fracking FOX CREEK — Northern Alberta experienced another small earthquake over the weekend in an area where two others earlier this year were linked with fracking. Natural Resources Canada recorded a 4.4-magnitude earthquake about 36 kilometres east of the community of Fox Creek around suppertime on Saturday. The department says on its website there was no damage, although it says the quake was “lightly felt” in Edmonton, about 200 kilometres away. It’s the third quake of similar magnitude in the area this year. Two quakes were detected in January — one was 4.4 magnitude and the other 3.8. The Alberta Energy Regulator and the Alberta Geological Survey have suggested both of those quakes may have been associated with hydraulic fracturing by the energy industry.

‘WHEN WE INTRODUCE (THE BILL) THERE WILL BE SOME DETAIL ABOUT THE CHANGES THAT WE ARE PROPOSING TO MAKE, AND THERE WILL BE A LOT OF OPPORTUNITY TO DEBATE IT THEN AND MUCH MORE IN THE FALL.’ — RACHEL NOTLEY PREMIER
In the meantime, said Notley, it’s not realistic for the Wildrose to expect a line-by-line breakdown in spending by a government that was sworn in a less than three weeks ago. “When we introduce (the bill) there will be some detail about the changes that we are proposing to make, and there will be a lot of opportunity to debate it then and much more in the fall,” said Notley. The session begins with a speech from the throne Monday by Lt.-Gov. Lois Mitchell outlining the goals and plans of Notley’s new government. The NDP has promised to introduce several other bills during the session but will not reveal details until Monday. Government House Leader Brian Mason, in an katchewan River has been found. RCMP say Duncan Laird, 27, of no fixed address, was wanted on several counts of possession of stolen property and also on arrest warrants from numerous charges out of Killam, Alta. On June 2, while conducting a search on Crown land just south of Drayton Valley, officers located a variety of stolen items valued at thousands of dollars, including a jet boat, vehicles and trailers. As RCMP officers approached one holiday trailer, two men ran out and fled toward the river and jumped in. One made it across but Laird was swept down the river. His body was found earlier this week. Mounties later arrested Jesse Arthur Proulx, 20, of no fixed address, near Drayton Valley. He appeared Wednesday in provincial court in Breton, on charges of possession of stolen property.
James Rajotte, an Alberta MP since 2000, says he’s not seeking re-election EDMONTON — A long-serving Conservative MP from Alberta says he won’t be seeking re-election. James Rajotte, who represents Edmonton-Leduc, released a statement on Sunday saying he won’t be a candidate in the upcoming federal election. Rajotte doesn’t explain in the statement why he won’t run again, but notes he’s “proud to leave Parliament with Canadians better off” and the country stronger than when the Conservative government took office. He also thanks his constituents, colleagues, and Prime Minister Stephen Harper for his leadership. Rajotte was first elected in 2000 and has served as chairs of the finance committee, as well as for science and technology.
interview, would only say the flagship session legislation, known as Bill 1, “will have to do with changes to fulfil a small part of our platform for democratic reform.” Mason would not confirm or deny Bill 1 would focus on banning corporate and union donations to political parties, as promised in the election campaign. Ceci, in an interview, would not confirm or deny that legislation to hike the corporate income tax to 12 per cent from 10 per cent, as promised in the election, will be part of the session. Ceci would only say, “We’re going to put in place some instruments that will help us smooth out our revenue situation so that we’re not relying on oil and gas revenues and royalties.” The session will also be the first test for Notley’s government on questions in the chamber from its own backbenchers. Notley, and other opposition leaders, criticized the former Tory government for using such questions not to hold the government to account, as per their intended historical purpose, but rather as scripted “puffballs” to spotlight government achievements. Mason said he expects the NDP backbenchers, technically not part of the government, will ask what they want of the cabinet ministers. “I don’t anticipate that (puffballs) will happen,” said Mason. He said he expects some of the new NDP backbenchers will want to have the questions written down for convenience, but said, “that doesn’t mean it’s written for them.” He says in the statement that future parliamentarians should continue to work on initiatives like the Reform Act, which he says would allow MPs to fulfil their roles of public policy formation and of oversight.
Visitation held Sunday for slain Edmonton officer EDMONTON — People had the chance to pay their respects on Sunday to the Edmonton police officer who was killed last week. Public visitation for Const. Daniel Woodall was held at an Edmonton funeral home — his funeral will be held on Wednesday. Woodall was shot and killed June 8 while trying to serve an arrest warrant. Norman Raddatz fired shots through his front door, killing Woodall and wounding another officer. Raddatz later shot himself. Police say they had been investigating Raddatz for anti-Semitic bullying of an Edmonton man and his family. A funeral procession for Woodall is to start Wednesday morning at the Alberta legislature and end at the Shaw Conference Centre with a public service. Woodall, 35, worked in the police department’s hate-crimes unit and was the father of two young sons. Blue ribbons have been tied to trees and posts in the city in his honour. the whole child approach

Give the keys to science HOW WE SHOULD DECIDE IF VIOLENT CRIMINALS CAN WALK FREE BY DAVID ZITNER AND JEFF COLLINS SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE Canadians are struggling to find the right balance between ensuring they are safe from people convicted of violent crimes and making sure those convicts are treated ethically. The dilemma is illustrated by the case of Vince Li, the man who beheaded a fellow bus passenger in Manitoba. Li, 39, was travelling on a Greyhound bus, and sat next to 22-yearold Tim McLean. Suddenly, Li killed and decapitated McLean, reporting that voices told him to do it. The court found him not criminally responsible, and sent him to a mental institution. Three years later, many people were appalled when a panel agreed to his occasional release with supervision. Psychiatrists are stoking the controversy by recommending that Li transfer to a group home and be allowed unescorted outings. Meanwhile, in Nova Scotia, André Denny murdered Raymond Taaval, a popular gay activist. He had been found not criminally responsible for a previous murder and was on unescorted leave from the hospital. Those who applaud the decision to
release Li must believe that psychiatric experts are clairvoyant, and therefore able to predict whether someone who was once violent will not be violent again. Others believe that violent crime and the limited ability of psychiatrists to predict future dangerous behaviour means that people who have been violent should receive supervision in a secure environment, either a hospital or a jail. They argue that dangerous and chaotic behaviour is too unpredictable to allow re-entry into society. As one Nova Scotia defence lawyer argued, “Mr. Denny, who committed a violent crime, should not have been granted a one-hour unsupervised leave from the psychiatric facility.” Mental health workers are as divided on this issue as the public at large. A decision to release or detain violent offenders depends as much on the composition of the panel making the decision as it does on the facts of the case. Unfortunately, the process for deciding fitness to stand trial and the duration of incarceration for violent offenders is capricious and expensive. There is no universal agreement in psychiatry. Some psychiatrists may attribute bizarre behaviour to a mental illness. Other psychiatrists, examining
the same facts, often reach a different conclusion. Dr. F.R. Farnham argued in the medical journal Lancet that the forecasting of someone’s level of danger “remains like that of the weather — accurate over a few days, but impotent to state longer-term outcomes with any certainty.” Clinical intuition isn’t adequate to determine who is likely to become violent or why. Consequently, the courts are plagued with conflicting testimony from psychiatrists claiming to be experts, but who rely on subjective opinion not scientific evidence. Conversely, the key elements for predicting violent behaviour are well known. Peer reviewed work published in the journal Schizophrenia Research states that readily available information allows the prediction of assault. “In a sample of general psychiatric patients with psychosis. ... The information used in the predictive model was: age, sex, having committed an assault in the last two years (self-report) and having used any drug in the last year (self-report).” Why rely on expensive experts for subjective opinions if objective, scientific information is available to predict
someone’s level of danger? In practice, courts resolve psychiatric conflict by asking judges and juries to choose between contradictory opinions. A quasi-judicial panel with a presiding judge would advance the science behind predictions of danger by insisting that mental health decisions, and expert opinion, must be based on peerreviewed science. This would rule out the conflicting subjective opinion of people whose sole claim to expertise is that they spent many years in school. Mercurial medical professionals should not make the final determination for deciding whether to detain a violent offender. Someone with expertise in evidentiary judgment should be part of the process. Let medical professionals offer their opinions on whether detention should be in a hospital or jail.

The values of hope and happiness Reading the news, it’s hard not to feel a growing sense of unease. The threat of terrorism, growing instability and conflict overseas, a shooting on Parliament Hill last October and uncertainty about the economy diminish our collective feelings of safety and security. To this we add the looming environmental threats of climate change, pollution, declining ocean health, oil spills and extreme weather. All of it takes a psychological toll, even when we’re not directly affected. Studies show that when we feel threatened, we isolate ourselves and focus on restoring our sense of security. Many people attempt to alleviate anxiety by grasping for wealth, seeking pleasure and taking solace in achieveDAVID ment or status. But this stratSUZUKI egy backfires. Instead of bolstering our sense of security and well-being, it diminishes it. Across cultures and regardless of age and gender, people whose values centre on social position and accumulation of money and possessions actually face a greater risk of unhappiness, including anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. In his book The High Price of Materialism, psychology professor Tim Kasser shows how materialistic values undermine wellbeing, perpetuate feelings of insecurity and weaken the ties that bind us as human beings.

titudes toward the environment and demonstrate fewer instances of sustainable behaviour. That’s a tragedy for humanity and the rest of life on Earth. Cross-cultural research in social science has identified a set of consistently occurring human values. Social psychologists refer to one cluster as “extrinsic,” or materialistic. These are concerned with our desire for achievement, status, power and wealth. Opposite to those are “intrinsic” values. They relate to caring, community, environmental concern and social justice. Although each of us carries both, the importance we attach to one set of values tends to diminish the importance of the other. When power values like social status, prestige and dominance come first, the universal values of tolerance, appreciation and concern for the welfare of others are suppressed. The U.K.-based Common Cause Foundation is synthesizing this growing body of values research. It offers guidance to social change organizations on ways to engage cultural values to further their causes. Because values are like muscles — they get stronger the more we exercise them — activists can consciously stimulate intrinsic values in communications and campaigns. Researchers have also discovered what they call the values “bleed-over effect.” Because values tend to exist in clusters, when one is activated, so are compatible neighbouring values. For example, people reminded of generosity, self-direction and family are more likely to support pro-environmental policies than those reminded of financial success and status. The forces behind planetary crises are complex. History, politics and economics influence how humans act. Social change requires a focus on individ-

Alberta Press Council member The Red Deer Advocate is a sponsoring member of the Alberta Press Council, an independent body that promotes and protects the established freedoms of the press and advocates freedom of information. The Alberta Press Council upholds
ual behaviour, corporate responsibility and government policy. In today’s unstable political environment, values must also be part of the equation. That’s where we find an important connection between environmental and social justice movements. On a values level, the efforts and strategies to combat climate change and biodiversity loss complement and strengthen those required to bring about greater equality. When environmentalists invoke intrinsic values to increase support for their cause, they also increase support for social justice. Because values are an important driver of attitudes and behaviour, they are essential to changing social norms. What can we do as individuals? Our social responsibility goes deeper than our consumer habits and voting choices. We need to reflect on what’s important to us. We all deserve to feel secure in our homes and communities, but we can’t depend on the false sense of security that isolation or materialistic pursuits bring. When psychological insecurity is on the rise, we need to stay committed to the values that make us environmentalists and champions of social justice. Instead of retreating to our corners, let’s turn toward one another to re-establish our sense of security and strength. The good news is that values that support a healthy society and sustainable planet — self-respect, concern for others, connection with nature, equality — also make us happiest in the long term. Each one of us is a value prism, subtly bending the light in a particular direction. As Canadians, let’s be conscious of where we direct our light.

A5 Lindhout grateful for arrest
MONDAY, JUNE 15, 2015
BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Amanda Lindhout crumpled to the floor, crying, as RCMP investigators broke the news to her on Thursday about the arrest of her alleged Somalian kidnapper. One officer who had stuck with the case over the past five years asked her “Are you sitting down?,” Lindhout recalled Sunday on social media. “There were several RCMP officials on the line as he delivered the news. I was stunned that they’d made the arrest. I was even more stunned that the accused kidnapper was in my home country.” “I had forgotten to sit down, and my knees gave out. I lay on the floor crying, saying the words, ”Thank you, thank you, thank you so much,“ again and again,” said Lindhout in a statement that was posted on her Facebook page and was also released by her publicist. The RCMP announced Friday that they had arrested Ali Omar Ader in Ottawa. Authorities are saying little about how the Somalian national made his way to Canada, where he now faces a criminal charge of hostage-taking. But seeing Ader in news coverage of the arrest sparked a range of emotions for Lindhout. “I find it difficult to describe what it felt like to see his face again,” she said. “It brought up anger, fear, confusion, and also — knowing that he no longer poses a threat to me or to anyone else — a sense of relief.” Lindhout and photographer Nigel Brennan were seized by young gunmen near strife-torn Mogadishu, Somalia, in August 2008. Both were released on Nov. 25, 2009. Defence Minister Jason Kenney has also commended the RCMP and other international police services involved in getting Ader to Canada. “There’s been some absolutely brilliant and complex policing work done here,” Kenney told CTV’s Question Period. “The fact that the RCMP, with other international police agencies, have stayed on the case and brought this investigation to a successful conclusion is a great credit to them.” Ader was arrested Thursday in Ottawa. The RCMP say the 37-year-old had been in town for a few days but the national police force would not reveal how he arrived in Canada. Ader’s case will be back in court June 19th. His lawyer Samir Adam said Friday he didn’t have enough information on the allegations against his client to comment. Successfully prosecuting such a case “depends

The RCMP’s Ottawa Integrated National Security Enforcement Team, supporting RCMP units and partner agencies have been working on the case ever since the abduction seven years ago, Malizia said. Details of the lengthy investigation — which in-
volved undercover operations, surveillance and wiretaps — would come out in court, he said. For now, all that matters is that charges have been laid, said Lindhout. “I’m grateful that this man has been arrested,” she said. “I am happy that he will be called upon in court to answer for his role in the kidnapping.”

BRIEFS
Tories use final chance to introduce new bills born to die OTTAWA — They are government bills born to die. The Harper government has stuffed the legislative pipeline with newly introduced bills in the past two weeks, despite being well aware that those proposed laws are dead in the water. Seven of 10 new bills introduced so far this month and sponsored by Conservative ministers are stalled. They range from a new national marine conservation area for Lake Superior and the Georges Bank Protection Act, to motor vehicle safety amendments, copyright changes, new mandatory minimum sentences for gun crime and changes to the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. With seven or fewer sitting days remaining before the House of Commons rises for the summer recess, the bills can’t possibly be passed before the break. And a looming election call — guaranteed by the Conservatives’ fixed election date law — will wipe clean the legislative slate before MPs sit again next fall. All unpassed bills automatically die when Parliament is dissolved.
Nunavik teen hospitalized after armed confrontation with Quebec police A 17-year-old youth is in hospital after being shot by Quebec provincial police following a 26-hour standoff in northern Quebec. The incident began Friday night, when officers were called to the residence in Umiujaq on an assault call. Police say the suspect fired at the officers, who
were not hit. The standoff that followed lasted more than a day, during which police say the suspect fired again on the officers. The incident ended at 11:30 p.m. Saturday after police shot the suspect. Police say he was transported to hospital after being hit at least once in the upper body. Police say his wounds are not life-threatening. As in the case with any police shooting in Quebec, a second police force -- in this case the Montreal police -- have been called in to investigate.
Ex-Senate reform allies mystified by PM’s seeming lack of plan for Senate OTTAWA — Ignore it and maybe it will go away. That appears to be Stephen Harper’s plan for the Senate — at least in the short term. The prime minister distanced himself from the damning revelations in last week’s audit of senators’ expenses, explaining that “the Senate is an independent body and the Senate is responsible for its own expenses.� He threw in the towel on his three-decade campaign for an elected Senate last year after the Supreme Court advised he’d need a constitutional amendment approved by most or all provinces to reform or abolish the upper house — advice Harper paraphrased as “we’re essentially stuck with the status quo for the time being.� He stopped appointing senators a year earlier, just as the expenses scandal was engulfing his government. There are now 20 vacancies in the 105-seat chamber and there’ll be two more to fill by midsummer. And yet, according to the Prime Minister’s Office, “We have no plans to appoint senators. The Senate continues to pass government legislation.� With an election looming in just four months, former allies in the Senate reform movement are mysti-
fied by Harper’s strategy, or lack thereof. “I’m quite puzzled actually how poorly this file has been managed by the prime minister,� says political scientist Roger Gibbins, former head of the Canada West Foundation. “I mean, this is kind of his issue and yet he’s got himself in a very difficult situation.�
Ottawa man tweets search for dog lost by airline on Cuba-Montreal flight MONTREAL — A dog named Bruno is back with his owner after an airline failed to unload the animal in Montreal and mistakenly sent it on a plane back to Cuba. Ottawa journalist Stephen Wicary took to Twitter Sunday morning after his four-year-old Bernese mountain dog did not arrive in Montreal as scheduled on a Cubana Airlines flight from Varadero. In the hours that followed, Wicary detailed his frantic communication with airport officials, none of whom could immediately locate the dog. “We feel helpless, powerless and heartbroken. And sickened by the failings in the air transit system that have allowed this to happen,� Wicary tweeted late Sunday morning. Wicary’s social media posts struck a chord with animal lovers who responded with hundreds of retweets and messages offering support, worrying about Bruno’s welfare, and offering to drive and search airports in person. Although at one point Wicary said Cuban airport officials believed the dog had been mistakenly sent to Toronto, it turned out he was never unloaded in Montreal and was instead flown back to Cuba. The story had happy ending, as Wicary tweeted a photo of Bruno after he finally arrived safely at the Montreal airport Sunday afternoon with the caption “Bruno, back at last.�

B1 Warriors withstand James’ Hawks brilliance to take series lead can clinch Cup at home
MONDAY, JUNE 15, 2015
NBA FINALS
BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Warriors 104 Cavaliers 91 OAKLAND, Calif. — Stephen Curry came off a screen, dribbled behind his back and crossed over Matthew Dellavedova. He stepped back and swished a 3-pointer, then pounded his chest and pointed to the roof, seemingly controlling the sellout crowd of 19,596 on his fingertips. One more win, and the MVP will really have a moment to celebrate. Curry made seven 3-pointers and scored 37 points, and the Warriors withstood another brilliant performance from LeBron James to outlast the Cleveland Cavaliers 104-91 on Sunday night for a 3-2 lead in the NBA Finals. “It was a fun moment, but it will only mean something — and I’ll probably have a better for that question after we win that championship — but signature moments only come for players who are holding the trophy,” said Curry, who added seven rebounds and four assists. With a sellout crowd rocking and roaring in their golden-yellow shirts, Curry and his teammates took control of the game — and possibly the series — in the final minutes. Curry connected inside and out — sometimes way out — to help the Warriors pull away and in a position the franchise hasn’t been in 40 years. The Warriors will try to win their first title since 1975 on Tuesday night in Cleveland, which hasn’t won a major sports chapionship in 51 years. Game 7, if necessary, would be in Oakland on Friday night. James carried Cleveland as far as he could. The four-time MVP had 40 points, 14 rebounds and 11 assists, slowing down the pace the way only he can. James made 15 of 34 shots in 44 minutes. It was James’ second triple-double of this series. But the depleted Cavs, without injured starters Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love, tired again late with a rotation that has gone just seven or eight deep. “He has the ball in his hands a lot. Stick with the program. Don’t get discouraged if he makes shots. He’s going to,” Curry said of James. “Over the course of 48 minutes, we hope we wear him down to make it very tough on him.” Draymond Green had 16 points and nine rebounds, Andre Iguodala added 14 points, eight rebounds and seven assists, and Leandro Barbosa scored 13 points in reserve for the deep and talented Warriors. Tristan Thompson tallied 19 points and 10 rebounds, and J.R. Smith scored all 14 of his points in the first half for Cleveland, which shot 39.5 per cent and had no answer for Curry late. “Not a lot you can do, honestly. He made some terrific shots,” Cavs coach David Blatt said. Under the current 2-2-1-1-1 schedule format, the winner of Game 5 in a 2-2 series has won the title 12 of 14 times. But nobody can feel too comfortable

Golden State Warriors forward Andre Iguodala (9) dunks against the Cleveland Cavaliers during the second half of Game 5 of basketball’s NBA Finals in Oakland, Calif., Sunday. after this one. There were 20 lead changes and 10 ties in a game that featured nearly as many bruises as baskets — but few big men — and the league’s two biggest attractions trading thrilling scores. James made a 34-footer with the shot clock about to expire midway through the fourth to cut the Warriors’ lead to 80-79. Curry answered with a step-back 3-pointer and Klay Thompson, who scored 12, followed with another. Iguodala later hit a 3 and then grabbed a rebound, tossing in a lefthanded put back while getting fouled by Tristan Thompson. Iguodala strutted back to midcourt, staring at the crowd — just about all of them on their feet through the fourth — before missing the free throw. Curry added a cutting layup, then lost Dellavedova off the dribble and stepped back for a 3 that gave Golden State a 96-86 lead with 2:44 left. “It was an incredible play and I enjoyed watching it from my front-row seat,” Green said.
James hit a 3-pointer, and the Cavs began fouling Iguodala — a sub-par free throw shooter. But Curry never let the game get out of his hands, connecting on another 3-pointer with 1:12 left that had him pounding his chest and pointing to the sky. “We didn’t let the moment slip,” Curry said. Kerr stuck with the small-ball lineup he used to win Game 4, starting swingman Iguodala over centre Andrew Bogut. Cavs coach David Blatt replaced 7-footer Timofey Mozgov with guard Smith — sliding James to centre — after Cleveland fell behind 8-2 in the opening minutes. “I thought from the very beginning when they went small, had their shooters out there, I thought this is Steph’s night,” Kerr said. “This is going to be a big one for him because he has all that room. He took over the game down the stretch and was fantastic.” Both teams lacked size. Neither lacked fight.
CHICAGO — This isn’t the Chicago Blackhawks’ first rodeo going for the Stanley Cup. It is the first time they’re going for it at their own stampede. For the third time in the Patrick Kane/Jonathan Toews era, the Blackhawks are up 3-2 in the final going into Game 6. They won those first two chances in 2010 and 2013 on the road in Philadelphia and Boston. So this group knows how to close like a champion thoroughbred with the finish line in sight, but with the new twist of trying to beat the Tampa Bay Lightning and lift the Cup on home ice at United Center. “Our team’s been in a lot in these situations — played in some big settings, some big stages, a chance to win Cups before,” coach Joel Quenneville said Sunday. “It’s a whole new process for some guys, a new situation being at home for the first time. “It’s an exciting time.” This is the Blackhawks’ time. Toews explained his team’s killer instinct more as an ability to get better as the series and the playoffs go on. Chicago’s captain doesn’t think it’s as much flipping a switch as shining brightest with the spotlight turned way up. “We get into these later games where we have the chance to play these games that are more meaningful, I think that’s when we play our best,” Toews said. Toews, Kane, Duncan Keith, Brent Seabrook, Patrick Sharp, Marian Hossa, Niklas Hjalmarsson and Bryan Bickell remain from the two previous Cup champion, while other pieces have moved in and out. Somehow the Blackhawks remain a team that smells blood and knows how to close the deal. “I think the more you do it, the more you get addicted to it,” said newcomer Brad Richards, who won with Tampa Bay in 2004. “You’re comfortable in those situations.” The Blackhawks are plenty comfortable at home, but they’ve never faced this scenario before. In franchise history Chicago hasn’t had the chance to win the Cup on home ice since 1971 and hasn’t actually done it since 1938. With that history and their own history in their minds, players are trying to focus on the task at hand instead of the scene, the national anthem and the unique opportunity ahead of them.

Action packed title fight caps great Super Fights 23 BY JOSH ALDRICH ADVOCATE STAFF Tim Lo left doubt of his worthiness to the claim of the Western Canadian Super Light Heavy Weight title on Saturday at Super Fights 23. The Sherwood Park Muay Thai fighter knocked out Andrew Vandervelden out of Airdrie in the third round with a solid kick to the head in front of a near sell out crowd at the Western Prairie Pavilion. “It was an action packed fight, really back and forth, but Tim Lo dominated right from the beginning,” said promoter Lyle Cheney, who also runs Cheney’s Zen Karate and Kickboxing. “He connected with all kinds of stuff, but what won it was a high kick to the face. It was a really convincing win.” The fight of the night, however, was Red Deer’s Braedon Rice with a third round TKO of Spencer Oulette out of Edmonton in a modified 175 pound fight. For the his efforts, the Master Mike Purnell trained fighter out of 7 Stars Praying Mantis was awarded the Andre Beaulieu Memorial Award in honour of the late Red Deer martial artist. Beaulieu died April at age 49 due to cancer. The recipient of the award was decided on by the judges and officials working Super Fights 23. “This award goes to the fighter demonstrating the best technique, the best skill, the best tenacity and it’s going presented at every fight card we have in Red Deer from now on, so it’s quite fitting that it was a Red Deer fighter to win the first one,” said Cheney. “He didn’t know Andre, but his instructor did, and the people in the audience knew him, so I thought it was a poignant moment that a Red Deer fighter got it.” The two other Red Deer fighters, both Cheney trained, did not fare so well. Gavin Owen lost a unanimous decision to Amir Vasseghi of Calgary at 145 pounds, and Shae Osguthorpe lost an unanimous decision to Mitch Wiles out of Edmonton at 135 pounds.

It worked out good.” But Sunday afternoon, Trenton Montero nodded his head for Calgary’s Special Delivery and that was an eight second explosion that judges gave an 88.5 score. “I’ve heard a lot about that horse, and watched it on TV several times,” said the 23-year-old cowboy from a ranch 90 miles from Winnemucca, NV. “That’s the highest I’ve ever marked at a pro rodeo. I’ve been waiting for a big score like that for a long time.” “This is the first year I’ve started coming up here to Canada to rodeos. I was up in Union, Oregon yesterday afternoon so we pretty much just drove all night up here. I didn’t check the draw until we were on the way up here, and I got excited when I saw I had Special Delivery, and got a lot more excited to make the drive after that!” The drive was definitely worth it for Montero, who pocketed $2185 as well as the trophy buckle. Vold still collected $1794 for second place. Cranbrook B.C.’s Bobbie Goodwin collected one of the bigger cheques of her barrel racing career when she and her horse Sonny made it through the pattern in 15.327 second for $3102. Clint Buhler of Okotoks and Trent Tunke from Medicine Hat clicked in 5.1 seconds to win the team roping for $2297 apiece. Friday afternoon saw the junior rodeo take place, where Ryley Borris of

Sundre’s Jamie Hogarth lifts his arms in celebration as the referee stops the fight and tends to Sylvan Lake’s Cory Bjorgan who was knocked out with a flurry of punches in the first round of their fight at Super Fights 23, Saturday. Hogarth who trains out of Iron Fist MMA in Rocky Mountain House and Bjorgan who trains out of Arashido Martial Arts were one of 13 fights on the card at the Westerner Prairie Pavillion. out Cory Bjorgan in the first round with a flurry of punches in a 220-pound bout. Eckville’s Malcolm Tisdale earned a split decision win over Travis Lindsay out of Saskatoon at 180 pounds, Alma Ladoucer of Calgary won a split decision over Rocky’s Melissa Ade at 137 pounds, and Russell Dahms of Rocky lost a split decision to Shaun Thankachen of Calgary at 165 pounds. In other fights not involving CenFlatbush won the novice bareback riding with a 77; Wyoming’s Blaze Cress took the novice saddle bronc riding with a 76; and Carter Sahli of Red Deer was high man in steer riding with his 76 mark. The five organizing Daines cousins made a special presentation of a buckle to the rodeo’s founder, Jack Daines, thanking him for his 55 years at the helm of the rodeo. Spokesman Kyle Daines says they are grateful for Jack’s legacy. “We just wanted to recognize him, and let everybody know how we appreciate what he’s done for us, and where he’s handing the rodeo over to us,” said Daines. “He left us in a good situation. He’s built this rodeo up from the ground floor, and now it’s ours to see how much higher we can raise the bar. I can hardly wait for the 56th!” Pro contestants head next to Wainwright and Sundre for rodeo action. Dianne Finstad is a local freelance rodeo writer.
CUP: A lot of buzz “Obviously there’s a lot of buzz, a lot of excitement, a lot of things going on around the entire event,” Toews said. “I think we’re just going to do our best as individuals to focus on our job as players and focus on the game and nothing more. None of that stuff is really going to help us achieve what we want to achieve.” What would do it is continuing the recipe that won the Blackhawks Game 5 Saturday night. They jumped all over the Lightning early and took advantage of the breaks they got. “Pucks were just hitting sticks or going off of skates, goalies were bumping into defencemen,” coach Jon Cooper said. “That’s kind of the way it’s gone the last two games for us.”

Werdum downs Velasquez to become new heavyweight champ UFC 188 BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MEXICO CITY — Fabricio Werdum of Brazil defeated a rusty Cain Velasquez by tap-out in the third round to become the undisputed heavyweight champion at UFC 188 on Saturday night. With 2:13 left in the third round, Werdum (20-5-1) took down Velasquez, who was coming of a 20-month layoff after suffering injuries in his shoulder and knee. It was Werdum’s sixth straight win. The Brazilian jiujitsu specialist was able to cut local favourite Velasquez (13-2) in the left eye since the first round and the former heavyweight champion struggled through the rest of the fight to overcome it. “I was the underdog, but that gave me great motivation in the cage knowing that no one believed that I could do it... probably just my team and my family”, said Werdum after the fight. “This is the best moment of my life, defeating Cain and becoming the world champion. Im happy to be the best of the world.” Werdum was the interim champion after taking down Mark Hunt last November at UFC 180. That night he was supposed to take on Velasquez, who injured his knee and cancelled the fight. “A lot of people told me that my belt was a fake one, now I have two with me and no one can question me,” Werdum said.
Prior to the main event, MexicanAmerican middleweight Kelvin Gastelum (12-1) got a TKO in the second round to defeat Nate Marquardt (3615-2), a 36 year-old former strikeout champion. Velasquez started off strong coming after the Brazilian but slowly began to wore down and looked tired by the end of the second round, while Werdum, who came to Mexico 40 days before the fight, looked ready to go all five rounds. “I saw that he was getting tired and I knew it was time to come after him,” Werdum said. “I prepared for this fight for so long, I was going for the right time to a guillotine.” The Mexican-American Velasquez, who has a strong following in Mexico, apologized with the fans for his belowaverage performance. “I was wrong, maybe I should have come earlier, I know that now, but Fabrizio was the best tonight, theres no excuse. He fought well, with great technique, he’s a good fighter,” said Velasquez, who trained in Mexico City for two weeks before the fight. “I need to get back to training, keep the hunger and get ready for the next one.” Gastelum, who missed the welterweight limit in two of his last three fights, was coming off the first loss of his career on January against Tyron Woodley. After Saturday’s win, he wants a chance to go back to his former division. In the lightweight division, Eddie Alvarez defeated Gilbert Melendez by split decision despite fighting with his left eye closed after taking an elbow to the face in the first round.

Blue Jays run win streak to 11 games Blue Jays 13 Red Sox 5 BOSTON — The way the Toronto Blue Jays are playing these days, even the last hitter in their lineup is plenty dangerous. The Blue Jays won their 11th straight game to tie the team record, routing the Boston Red Sox 13-5 Sunday as ninth-place batter Ryan Goins homered, doubled and drove in five runs. “Honestly, I think everybody’s coming here every day knowing we’re going to win,� Goins. “You put that with probably having the best one-through-six in the whole league and it makes it easier for seven, eight, nine.� Danny Valencia, batting seventh, also homered as the highest-scoring club in the majors completed a sweep at Fenway Park and sent Boston to its season-worst sixth straight loss. This is the fourth time Toronto has won 11 in a row, most recently in 2013. The Blue Jays can set the team mark Monday night when star shortstop Jose Reyes returns to Citi Field to play the New York Mets. “The one word that describes it is ’fun,�’ Goins said. The Blue Jays have scored 88 runs in their streak, including 31 this weekend in Boston. Goins’ three-run homer capped a six-run fourth inning as the Blue Jays roughed up rookie Eduardo Rodriguez (21). According to research provided by the Red Sox, Rodriguez was the first pitcher in
major league history to go six or more innings and not allow more than one run or three hits in each of his first three starts. “He’s been great and you can tell why and he’s going to be great, but we’re some kind of hot right now,� manager John Gibbons said. Marco Estrada (4-3) gave up five runs in five innings. David Ortiz hit a three-run homer for Boston, which fell 10 games under .500. “We’re not in a good place right now as a team, but it’s not because we’re not giving effort,� Boston manager John Farrell said. “We’re not executing completely.� Toronto opened a 10-0 lead in the fifth. Chris Colabello had a RBI single and Russell Martin chased Rodriguez with a run-scoring double, with Red Sox fans booing when left fielder Hanley Ramirez misplayed a carom in the corner. Valencia then hit reliever Steven Wright’s first pitch completely over the Green Monster seats. Rodriguez gave up nine runs on eight hits and three walks in 4 2-3 innings. Asked what he learned from the outing, he said: “Throw better pitches.� “Throw the pitch exactly where I want,� he said. The Red Sox answered with five in the bottom of the inning. Dustin Pedroia and Ramirez had RBI singles before Ortiz homered. Goins’ two-run double came in a three-run seventh. NICE GRAB Blue Jays CF Kevin Pillar came charging in and made a
diving grab on Alejandro De Aza’s liner in right centre. SUN TROUBLES The Red Sox lost two balls in the sun — one by 2B Pedroia — and another dropped between four players in short centre. Blue Jays RF Jose Bautista also lost one. “Obviously (it was) pretty bad anytime you see Pedroia fighting the sun,� Gibbons said. HOOPS GUY Celtics forward Kelly Olynyk watched the game from the right-field roof deck. TRAINER’S ROOM Blue Jays: After the game, Gibbons said RHP Aaron Sanchez will be placed on the 15day DL with a strained muscle in the back of his shoulder. Red Sox: 3B Pablo Sandoval was back in the starting lineup after leaving Saturday’s loss with tightness in his right quadriceps. ... RHP Justin Masterson, on the 15-day DL with right shoulder tendinitis, will make another rehab start for Triple-A Pawtucket on Tuesday. ... Farrell said he’d know if CF Mookie Betts would be back in the lineup Monday after taking BP Sunday. He ran into the wall near Boston’s bullpen on Friday. ... Slumping Mike Napoli was rested for the second straight day, but is expected back in the lineup Monday. UP NEXT Blue Jays: LHP Mark Buehrle (7-4, 4.25 ERA) is slated to face the Mets’ RHP Noah Syndergaard (2-4, 4.15) when the clubs open a two-game series. Buehrle has won his last three starts, twice throwing complete games.
Newgarden captures first Honda Indy Toronto BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — A historic Honda Indy Toronto for Josef Newgarden and Luca Filippi. Newgarden took the lead on the 72nd lap and never relinquished it, finishing 1.4485 seconds ahead of teammate Filippi. And the 1-2 effort in the 85-lap event over the 1.755-mile, 11-turn Exhibition Place street circuit was a first for CFH Racing, a team in its initial year of operation. “It was cool to get a 1-2,� Newgarden said. “This is a new team this year and so to already be able to get a 1-2 with this group is really incredible. “That’s too cool, too cool.� Just over a week ago, CFH Racing registered a frustrating double DNF in the Firestone 600 at Texas Motor Speedway. But Newgarden said the team can’t get fat on Sunday’s result. “I don’t think we can let off the gas,� he said. “We’ve really got to keep working because there’s a lot of good teams and it’s still difficult to do this on a regular basis. “I don’t think this is going to necessarily mean we can just get more and more wins throughout the year, we’ve got to keep working to do that.� Newgarden, a 24-year-old native of Henderson, Tenn., captured his second victory of the season. He won the Honda Indy Grand Prix of Alabama on April 26 but doesn’t feel this is a breakout campaign for him. “I think last year we had more of a breakout in my opinion,� said Newgarden, who started 11th on Sunday. “We were close to wins last year, we just couldn’t get it done which was tough on everyone because we knew we had
the potential to win.� The second-place finish was a career-best effort for Filippa, a heady accomplishment considering the affable Italian didn’t race for two years while broadcasting both IndyCar and Formula One races for Sky Sports. “It was almost a perfect day for us, almost because I would’ve preferred maybe the other way around with myself first and Josef second,� Filippi said. “(For) two years I wasn’t racing and it was tough . . . I always dreamed about this moment and now I want to win a race.� Penske teammates Helio Castroneves and Will Power, the pole sitter, were third and fourth, respectively. Sebastien Bourdais, a winner here last year, was fifth as pre-race rain resulted in a wet start. The track dried out as the event went on but the wet stuff returned in the latter stages of the competition. Castroneves was happy with his third-place finish, saying he faced no shortage of challenges throughout the race. “Unfortunately I had some issues out there,� he said. “I was trying to pass Juan (teammate Juan Pablo Montoya) and ended up going straight and I tried to pass (Takuma) Sato and almost spun out so we were heavy on adventure.� Castroneves held a solid 6.9-second lead over Newgarden through 40 laps later before falling near the back of the field two laps later the result of an untimely second caution for debris. “We kept pushing, we kept taking chances and the good news was we finished in the top-three today because we had many opportunities to not be here,� he said.

Canada looks for scoring touch in final round robin game BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
WOMEN’S WORLD CUP
MONTREAL — Christine Sinclair is confident the goals are coming. Canada’s women’s soccer team has scored just once in its first two groupstage matches at the FIFA Women’s World Cup. Canada will look to find its scoring touch in their third and final group-stage game versus the Netherlands on Monday at Montreal’s Olympic Stadium. “As a forward, you get worried when you’re not creating chances and chances aren’t falling for you,� said Sinclair after practice on Saturday in Montreal. “Myself, but also the rest of the front line, we’ve created chances. Sooner or later they’re going to go in. “People have to realize it’s the World Cup — we’re playing against the best teams in the world. There are no slouches.� Sinclair scored from the penalty spot in stoppage time as Canada opened with a 1-0 victory over China. Against New Zealand, the teams played to a scoreless draw. John Herdman’s team, however, have had their opportunities in open play. Canada has 10 shots on target, and only the Ivory Coast have hit more posts (3) than Canada (2). “If we score one, the confidence will just come flooding in, even more so than it’s already there,� said midfielder Sophie Schmidt. “We’re just saving it for the perfect moment.� Leading its group with four points from two games, Canada (1-0-1) could clinch top spot in Group A with a vic-
tory over the Netherlands (1-1-0). The Canadians would also reach the roundof-16 elimination games with a draw. Even a narrow loss, with favourable results elsewhere, could send Canada through to the knockout stages. But the Canadians have no intention of sitting back. They want all three points against the Dutch on Monday. “That’s our goal and that’s our game plan,� said forward Melissa Tancredi. “Coming up against any of these teams, we’re not looking for a tie. We’re going in there for a win, going in there very prepared and hopefully with the mindset of putting in some goals early.� While Canada may not be scoring at will, the team is looking strong at the back. Canada is one of only two teams, along with Brazil, that has not conceded a goal in this tournament. “Championships are won with defence,� said Schmidt. “You can’t lose a game if they don’t score on you. Our defence has been phenomenal.� Keeping a clean sheet against the Netherlands, Canada’s toughest GroupA opposition, may prove to be a difficult task. Though they’ve yet to display their attacking prowess with one goal from their first two games, the Dutch have a dangerous front three in Manon Melis, Vivianne Miedema and Lieke Martens. “They’ll punish mistakes you make,� said Sinclair. “They’re very fast and technical players. We have to clean some things up in the back and be smart with the way we play.�

Gators chomp down on Buccaneers BY JOSH ALDRICH ADVOCATE STAFF Gators 50 Buccaneers 6 LACOMBE — The Red Deer Buccaneers knew they were going to be in tough in their home opener, but they did not think it would get as ugly as it did. The Calgary Gators crushed the Buccaneers 50-6 at ME Global Athletic Park in Lacombe on Saturday. Coming off a 30-0 waxing of the Calgary Wolfpack in their Alberta Football League season opener, they were expecting a much better game than what they showed up with. “I hate it and we need to be better, plain and simple,” said Buccaneers defensive captain Mark Fay. In the end they were their open worst enemy as they were unable to convert on their opportunities and gave the Gators far too many chances, and with the Calgary offence that’s a deadly combination. The Bucs actually played well for the first quarter, keeping the Gators off the scoreboard until late in a defensive battle. Until the Gators blocked a Pascal Plante punt and took over on the Red Deer 40 yard line at 12:50 of the opening frame. A few plays later and aging veteran quarterback Darryl Leason hit Nathan Heather for a touchdown from 19 yards out on the final play of the quarter. That score opened the flood gates and the Gators scored 28 more points in the second quarter to take a 35-0 lead into the break. Leason finished the day with four touchdown passes and an interception while Jordan Heather — who actually started under centre and rotated series with Leason — had two touchdown passes. “Until the big mistakes happened, we were right in there with them,” said Buccaneers head coach Devon Hand. “After we watch the tape I think we’ll realize we can hang with these guys, we just need to stay up and avoid the big, big mistakes.” Even when things appeared to be going in the Buccaneers favour, they found a way to scuttle the opportunity or drive. This was highlighted by a short drive at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Thanks to undisciplined play by the Gators and finally being able to start sustaining drives, the Bucs found themselves on the Calgary one-yard line, but rookie quarterback Jamie Fox threw an interception on a quick slant to the Gators’ David Slatcher to kill the drive. The Buccaneers started Plante at quarterback but were unable to generate anything on offence with the strong armed pivot. The Red Deer line was unable to give him much time to find the open man, and when they did he was off target. He also absorbed some big hits along the way. For the second week in a row, the Bucs replaced Plante with Fox in the second half, but this time it took some time for the results to show. Fox started inside his own 10 yard line on each of his first three drives and was lucky to have only one of them end in a safety. The Gators Ian Hewitt also kicked two field goals — 29 and 14 yards — in the quarter while Heather connected with Cassidy Doneff on a five-yard touchdown pass.

Central Alberta Buccaneers Brandt Kolybaba (47) and Mark Fay (27) bring down Calgary Gators running back Anthony Johnson during AFL action at ME Global Athletic Park in Lacombe on Saturday. Gators won 50-6. However, Fox did start to get some positive momentum going, it was just a matter of putting it all together for a score. Trailing 50-0, Fox finally broke the goose egg at 12:03 of the fourth quarter, connecting with running back Junior Rivera on a 42 yard catch and run over the middle for a score. But as the day went, they botched the extra point attempt, not once but twice, getting a second chance due to an offside penalty on the first attempt. “With a team that’s as good as they are with the talent that they have, you can’t get a way with the mistakes we had early,” said Hand. Fay was arguably the Buccaneers top player in the game, coming up with their only interception while flying all over the field making plays. That is despite a week of practice cut short my severe weather and a complicated offence to prepare for. “It was tough, but our coaches out in a good game plan, we just didn’t execute it,” said Fay. Offensively they were a mess, and Hand was noncommittal about who will start at quarterback on
Saturday in Grande Prairie against the Drillers. “We need to get in there and look at the tape and chart the plays and see what reads they were making and then we’ll make a decision based on that,” said Hand. “Also it depends what Grand Prairie is showing us on defence.” One player who did stand out was returner Landon Rosene out of Sylvan Lake, however he did not factor in the Bucs’ offensive strategy, though that may change. “We like to have him as the specialty returner, but if he’s the guy making plays you got to look at what’s in the cupboard,” said Hand. The Buccaneers will have their hands full with a traditionally tough Drillers team, especially up in Grande Prairie, but bouncing back will be of the upmost importance as they try to remain in contention in the short AFL season. “We have to come here prepared to work and be focused and not let the little mental mistakes get to us and stay calm under pressure,” said Fay. jaldrich@reddeeradvocate.com
Lacombe rolls over Raiders for first boy’s soccer title since 1999, Raiders take girl’s title BY JOSH ALDRICH ADVOCATE STAFF Rams 4 Raiders 1 The Lacombe Rams proved you don’t have to be from a big city to play big time soccer. The senior boys team out gunned the Lindsay Thurber Raiders 4-1 in the Central Alberta High School Soccer League finals on Saturday, bringing the school their first title since 1999, the first year of the championship tournament. “This is definitely good for the league,” said Raiders head coach Rene Vandervlis “There’s a lot of Red Deer schools that have their name on the trophy a number of times, so when one of the other schools succeeds, it’s a victory for soccer. It shows the competitiveness of Central Alberta.” David Lyumes scored twice for the Rams while Mike Bullert and Christu Moo each added a goal and Jacob Hamilton was solid in net. Ayub Adan Hamud scored the lone goal for Thurber in the first two minutes of the game. The Rams came back after that initial goal against and slowly turned the momentum back to their side and pulled away in the second half. It was a concerted team effort led by Cody Knight, who came off the bench to shut down Humud, and Lyumes with his two goals for the Rams. But it also marked a long climb back to the top of the mountain. The Rams won the first ever boys soccer league tournament and even made it to the final game the previous three years, but finally they got over that final hurdle. “We’ve been in the finals the previous three years but we were always runner-up, so it’s nice to finally hold that trophy,” said Rams head coach Gregg Lockhart. “We have a lot of Grade 12s and these Grade 12s have been in big games ever since they started.” There will be a lot of turnover for next year, however, with 15 players graduating, so they will be trying to rebuild on the fly. “I have got to really commend Lacombe minor soccer, they do a lot of work feeding us guys,” said Lockhart. “We don’t have a Grade 9-12 program, so the Grade 9s don’t hang out with us but Lacombe minor soccer does a great job of getting them ready.” For the Raiders, their first loss of the season could not have come at a worse time, but they take solace in the improvements they made this season. “We’ve been on the B side the last two years, so this year just to get to the
AA Braves go 2-1 at Heisler tournament The Red Deer Baker Hughes Bantam AA Braves went 2-1 in a seeding tournament this weekend in Heisler. After dropping a 13-3 decision to Heisler in the first game, Red Deer bounced back to beat Stettler 15-5 and Innisfail 13-8. Will Cebuliak picked up the win over Innisfail while Levi Elliot closed out the game. Matthew Wik stole home twice and Eric Moore added an in-the-park home run to go with two more RBIs to pace the offence. Wik finished with Trevor Baron also stole home once and added an RBI while Reid Howell had an RBI and a run scored, Connor Dawes had two more RBI and Braden Michnik also had an RBI.

Tony Castro Hernandez of the Lindsay Thurber Comprehensive High School Raiders kicks the ball away from his Lacombe Rams opponent during the high school soccer finals at the Red Deer College soccer field, Saturday. A side and getting to the final probably exceeded our expectations,” said Vandervlis. “I’m proud of my guys, they had a good season and they battled hard, but hats off to Lacombe, they were the better team today.” They have a strong group of players coming back next year that will try and build off of this season. “We have about half our team coming back with a pretty promising Grade 10 bunch,” said Vandervlis. “The future looks pretty bright for us.” Raiders 10 Cougars 5 The Lindsay Thurber Raiders girls ended a five year championship drought by knocking off the rival Notre Dame Cougars 10-5 on Saturday afternoon. Shae Demale led the way with four goals for Thurber while Kiera Fujimoto had three, Teagan Shapka had two and Mikayla had one. Replying for the Cougars was Emily Downey with three goals and Lexi Murphy with the other two. This was not just a chance to bring the league trophy back to Lindsay Thurber, this was a chance for the Raiders to even an old score. “The last couple of years meeting Notre Dame in the final and losing to them, our girls were frustrated the
last two years, so there was a bit of redemption today,” said Cougars head coach Darren Kochan. “They new they were playing a very good team, a well coached team, but today we just had the upper hand.” Despite the score, the Cougars battled hard in this one. Trailing 5-2 in the first half they never really went away, cutting the score to 7-5 at one point before Lindsay Thurber pulled away for good late. But it was not one of the old vets that have been through the wars with the Cougars that led the charge. That role fell to a rookie in Demale, who was the game MVP. “She scored early and scored often,” said Kochan. “For a Grade 9 student she really showed some maturity and put the team on her shoulders and got us the championship.” Demale is just part of a young group of players that should make the Raiders a favourite to repeat or at least challenge for the title again next year. “It’s always important to have a young core coming in,” said Kochan. “As the Grade 12s leave us we have to have the Grade 9s come in and try to replace them and we just try to keep cycling and try to keep the team as strong as possible.” jaldrich@reddeeradvocate.com
The Red Deer TBS Rampage are still undefeated this Rocky Mountain Lacrosse League Junior B Tier I season after 11 games. They beat the Sherwood Park Titans 10-5 on Saturday in their only game of the weekend to improve to 10-0-1. Kaden Christensen, Nate Bellanger and Levi Whitney scored twice each for Red Deer while Tristyn Zarubiak, Lorne Baile, Dawson Reykdal and Jordan Waddell had one goal each as Bradan Machan picked up the win in net. Jacob Marouelli led Sherwood Park with two goals as Eric Evans, Taylor Shields and Nathaniel Gillespie scored once each. The Rampage are off to Winnipeg next weekend for a three-game series with the Manitoba Blizzard. ● The Lacoka Locos dropped another pair of junior B tier II games on the weekend, falling 10-9 to the Calgary Wranglers in Ponoka and then 13-9 in Strathmore to the Venom on Sunday. No stats were available at press time.
Grizzlys trade Pollack The Olds Grizzlys traded defenceman Lukas Pollack to the Calgary Canucks on Friday for future considerations. Pollack has played two season in the Alberta Junior Hockey League, both with the Grizzlys. In 99 games with the Grizzlys the six-foot, 174-pound 20-yearold blue-liner had three goals and three assists and 63 penalty minutes. “Lukas was a heart and soul guy for our team on the ice and in the dressing room,” said head coach Dana Lattery in a press release. “Was a kid that you didn’t have to motivate to go out on the ice and lay it all on the line, it was just in his DNA. He wasn’t noted for his offense but yet his penalty killing and his blocked shots had to set league records.”

Gomez gets first PGA Tour win at St. Jude BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Fabian Gomez held his native flag close while celebrating his first career PGA Tour title at the St. Jude Classic. A win to remember is even more special now he’s the fifth champion from Argentina, joining mentor Jose Coceres, Angel Cabrera, Andres Romero and Roberto De Vicenzo. “That list for me is an honour, and we share many, many weeks with Andres, Angel,” Gomez said Sunday through a translator. “When they play on the tour the same week with me, we share some barbecue. We had one last night, and I know that they are going to be happy for this situation right now.” Gomez, 36, started Sunday tied with Owen atop the leaderboard at 9 under with 23 players within four strokes. Gomez finished off a four-stroke win that was the largest at this event since
2009 with a 13-under 267 total after shooting 4-under 66 in the final round. He carded a five birdie-one bogey round for his first PGA title in his 70th start in a season already featuring three top 25s. Taking home the winner’s check of $1.08 million is a nice turnaround for Gomez who had to earn back his tour card through the Web.com Tour last year. When he rolled in a 30-footer for birdie on No. 18 for the final margin, Gomez celebrated by holding up his putter and pumping his right fist. “Even if I won many tournaments, winning here on the PGA Tour is something amazing, and I’m going to enjoy the moment with my family,” Gomez said with the crystal trophy close at hand. Owen finished with a 70 for the round, and he said he just didn’t play well enough to beat Gomez. “I think he hit every fairway,” Owen said. “You got to hit the fairways out here. The flags are tucked. ... He just
played solid. His distance control was good, and he was under control and couple of shots I couldn’t match him.” Phil Mickelson remains winless since the 2013 as he tied for third (65272). He finished with a flourish, rolling in a 25-footer for birdie that nearly lipped out on No. 18. Mickelson finished tied with Seung-Yul Noh (65), Michael Thompson (66), Matt Jones (68) and Brooks Kopeka (70). Boo Weekley (65), Billy Horschel (65), Russell Knox (66) and Chad Campbell (68) all tied for seventh at 273. Mickelson used this event at TPC Southwind, sponsored by FedEx, to tune up his game for the U.S. Open at Chambers Bay in Washington. He carded eight birdies Sunday with three bogeys and says he got the confidence boost he wanted. “I’m feeling a lot better about heading into the U.S. Open after this week than I did after last,” Mickelson said. This event belonged to Gomez who honed his game with tips from his men-
tor along with playing many rounds with Cabrera. He already had won twice on the PGA Tour Latinoamerica in Buenos Aires in 2013 and 2014. The last time he had a piece of the 54-hole lead on the PGA Tour, he tied Jordan Spieth for second at the 2013 Puerto Rico Open. Starting with the lead this time, Gomez fell a stroke back of Owen with his lone bogey of the day on No. 5 and was two strokes behind before Gomez birdied the par 3 No. 8. He tied Owen at 10 under when the Englishman bogeyed No. 9. Gomez took the lead for good at 11 under when he stuck a shot within 8 feet on the par-3 11th with the island green. He clinched his victory on the par-5 16th with his fourth birdie despite hitting into the greenside bunker.

Park also regained the No. 1 ranking in the word, surpassed idol Se Ri Pak for the most majors by a South Korean player with six, tied the LPGA Tour record for the lowest score in a major in relation to par at 19 under and, in her own mind, cemented a place in women’s golf history. “Obviously, putting my name alongside like Annika Sorenstam or Patty Berg, legends of golf, just being a part of history of this golf tournament, I feel extremely honoured, and I can’t believe that I just did it,” Park said. The 26-year-old Park closed with a bogey-free 5-under 68 at Westchester Country Club, finishing the season’s second major five strokes ahead of 22-year-old compatriot Sei Young Kim. Park had 22 birdies and only three bogeys in 72 holes. “I played great the last three days,” she said. “I couldn’t believe myself. I made no bogeys for three days.” Park and Sorenstam (2003-2005) are only players to win the event previously called the LPGA Championship three consecutive years. It also was Park’s fifth victory in the last 12 majors. Park won the previous two years in playoffs in Pittsford, New York, taking the 2013 event at Locust Hill and the

Park birdied the par-5 final hole. She chipped her third shot to 5 feet, then sank the putt and threw her arms in the air as a fan yelled “Three-peat!” It was her 56th consecutive hole without a bogey. Kim, a two-time winner this season as a rookie, started the day two strokes six strokes ahead of Kirk Triplett, who shot 64 to vault into second place at minus-13. Langer is the first golfer to win the tournament in back-to-back years since Arnold Palmer 30 years ago. The 57-year-old German earned his 24th victory on the Champions Tour, tying him with Miller Barber for fourth alltime. Langer opened with two 65s in a row, then shot 67 in the third round on Saturday to improve to 16-under. Russ Cochran opened the day eight strokes back in second place and shot 69 to tie for third with Joe Durant and Colin Montgomerie.

Thompson pulled within two strokes with her birdie on the 13th. But she missed a chance on the par-5 15th hole, hitting her tee shot well right and scrambled to make par. She then bogeyed the 16th to end her chances. “(I) just take a lot of positives from it knowing that I can pull off a round on Sunday here,” Thompson said. “It means a lot and I’m going to take a lot of confidence going into my upcoming tournaments.” Brittany Lincicome, the winner of the first major of the year at the ANA Inspiration, finished fourth at 11 under. She birdied the final hole for a 68. Seventeen-year-old Canadian Brooke Henderson tied for fifth with Morgan Pressel at 10 under. Her $132,725 check will help in Henderson’s bid to earn a tour card for next year. The Smiths Falls, Ont. needs to either win a tournament or finish with the equivalent of the 40th player on the money list to avoid qualifying school after being denied an age exemption. “Today I was hoping to climb up that leaderboard a little bit more than I did, but 2-under on Sunday at a major championship, I can’t complain too much,” said Henderson. “And tied fifth, that’s pretty cool. “Definitely moving forward, I have a lot that I can take away and I’m hoping to do that.” The shot of the day came from Hyo Joo Kim with a hole-in-one on the 149-yard 14th hole. She finished with a 71 to tie for ninth at 8 under. With No. 1 Lydia Ko missing the cut for the first time in 54 tries, No. 2 Park needed to finish just 29th or better to retake the top spot she last held in February. It will be her third stay at the top of the rankings. She was to the No. 1 for 59 weeks in 2013.

Greece talks fail BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BRUSSELS — The European Commission said Sunday that weekend talks to find common ground between international creditors and Greece were unsuccessful and left a wide rift that needs to be closed within two weeks to avoid a possible Greek default. An EU Commission official, who refused to be identified because of the sensitivity of the negotiations, said that “the talks did not succeed as there remains a significant gap between the plans of the Greek authorities and” the demands of the international creditors. On top of that, the official said that, for the EU’s executive, “the Greek proposals remain incomplete.” The official refused to be more precise.
European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker “remains convinced that with stronger reform efforts on the Greek side and political will on all sides, a solution can still be found before the end of the month,” the official said. Finance ministers from the 19 nations using the euro currency have a meeting next Thursday in Luxembourg which has already been billed as decisive to see if a bailout deal for Greece can be found. The rift after the weekend’s talks amounted to “the order of 0.5-1 percentage of GDP,” the EU official said. Greek Deputy Prime Minishter Yannis Dragasakis said disagreements remained over the cuts in pensions and increases in value added tax. However, he said Greece has made “supplementary proposals that totally cover the fiscal gap and primary surpluses” and open “the way to a final deal.”
What will it take to keep Twitter airborne?
Greece’s 240 billion-euro ($270 billion) bailout expires June 30, at which point the country will lose access to the rescue loans it desperately needs to repay debts and avoid a default that could force it out of the euro. The country’s creditors — which include fellow eurozone states, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund — want the country to commit to new economic reforms before they disburse the last 7.2 billion euros ($8.2 billion) left in Greece’s bailout fund. Fears that the two sides were still too far apart to clinch a deal on such issues as pensions and the budget already saw the main stock index in Athens close 5.9 per cent lower on Friday.

SETTLEMENT HEARINGS BEGIN
BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — The Pope is on Twitter, along with the Dalai Lama, world leaders and, of course, Kim Kardashian. The short-messaging service can bring fleeting fame, instant ignominy and get you fired. It has been credited for sparking revolutions and, like Facebook, transforming the way the world communicates. But despite the buzz generated by thousands of chatty journalists, athletes and celebrities, Twitter has never turned a profit. Its user base of 302 million is dwarfed by rivals such as Facebook, which counts 1.44 billion. Facebook has grown into an Internet powerhouse, while Twitter in many aspects remains a niche social network, unable to convince the masses that they need its service to keep up with what’s happening in the world. Lots of people sign up but not a lot stick around. That likely had much to do with last week’s announced exit of Twitter Inc. CEO Dick Costolo, who gave way to co-founder, and former CEO, Jack Dorsey while the San Francisco company looks for a new leader. Despite the executive turmoil and a stock price that has fallen 30 per cent since late April, industry experts — not to mention loyal users — see potential in the company. But first it needs to address some of its biggest problems. Here are some of Twitter’s most pressing challenges, along with possible fixes.
WHERE ARE THE USERS? Its user growth is stalling and there are a lot of competitors. Besides its old rival Facebook, Twitter is feeling the heat from mobile messaging apps such as WhatsApp, Line and Viber, not to mention Snapchat, Instagram and a bevy of others only your cool middle-school niece might have heard of. Twitter grew from 204 million active users in the first quarter of 2013, to 255 million a year later and 302 million in the first three months of 2015. In comparison, Facebook-owned WhatsApp announced in April that it has reached 800 million monthly active users.
MAKE IT EASIER TO USE Almost one billion users have tried Twitter and not stuck around, according to tech investor Chris Sacca, a longtime Twitter backer who wrote a lengthy critique of the service and posted it online this month. Sacca suggested the service could offer more features to engage visitors — including special channels or tabs focused on live events, topics of interest or even a user’s geographic location. He also recommended more “nudges,” including feedback, polls and other interactive features that would make newcomers feel less “lonely.”

BRIEF Air Canada and Unifor reach tentative deal for 4,100 customer service agents MONTREAL — Air Canada (TSX: AC.A) and the union representing about 4,100 customer service and sales agents announced a tentative five year agreement on Sunday. In a release issued Sunday, Unifor president Jerry Dias said the agreement included protections and fair wages for workers. The airline released a statement saying the deal was a “win-win” for both sides. Contract talks began in January but broke off in March. A Unifor spokesman confirmed the talks resumed last week. Federal Labour Minister Kellie Leitch issued a statement congratulating the two parties on the deal, which was reached with the help of a federal mediator. No details of the agreement were released. Dias said in a statement that his members would over the next 10 days on whether to accept the deal. The airline’s board of directors must also give approval. Air Canada has had a rocky relationship with many of its unionized workers in recent years — the last round of bargaining was among the most acrimo-
nious in the airline’s history. Customer service agents and sales agents walked off the job for three days in June, 2011. During roughly the same period, the airline faced protracted negotiations with both flight attendants and pilots. In 2012 baggage handlers staged an illegal walkout before being forced back to work by a court order.
Quebec ready to buy shares in Bombardier: economy minister PARIS — Quebec’s economy minister says the government is ready to buy shares in Bombardier if the airplane manufacturer asks for financial aid to support the CSeries commercial jet program. Jacques Daoust told reporters on Sunday that Bombardier was looking for financing and that “conversations” had been held. He said the company did not make a formal request for aid, but Daoust made it clear Bombardier would have no trouble receiving help if it made a request. “I’m ready to help Bombardier because I still have confidence in Bombardier,” said Daoust. “It’s an economic locomotive for us.” Daoust was in France for the Paris Air show, where the CSeries commercial jets made their public debut.For the first time, visitors and potential buyers were able to see the CS100 and CS300 up close and in the sky. Bombardier said the plane performed even better than expected during flying tests in areas such as distance covered in flight, fuel economy and performance on takeoff.
Women making strides; still face challenges Undeniably, women have made a lot of strides in recent years in terms of business and finances but they still face challenges, particularly for those who are trying to balance personal needs and professional goals with the demands of caring for loved ones. A recent BMO Wealth Institute report, which examined the success Canadian woman have achieved over the last 50 years and the challenges they continue to face as a result of their gender, found that while they are the primary breadwinners in more than 30 per cent of Canadian households and control $1.1 trillion in wealth they earn 87 cents for every dollar a man makes and are more likely to be caregivTALBOT ers to loved ones than men. BOGGS Globally, women currently control about a third of the world’s wealth. In Canada, they now hold 37 per cent of management roles and 57 per cent of professional positions compared to 1941 when they made up only 20 per cent of the Canadian
MONEYWISE
workforce. “The progress women have made in recent years is undeniable,” says Caroline Dabu, vice- president and head of BMO Wealth Planning Group. “However, challenges still exist, especially for women trying to balance personal needs and professional goals with the demands of caring for loved ones. Women face struggles that have not only emotional consequences but also financial repercussions.” The report found that women own or share ownership in almost half of all small businesses in Canada. The recent 2015 federal budget contained tax and other measures for small businesses, including women entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs create high paying jobs by developing new goods and services and innovative business models. The budget contained a program to increase mentorship among women entrepreneurs and connect them with the tools they need to succeed in business. The program encourages women-led companies to participate in trade missions to widen exposure to international markets and over the coming year the Minister of Status of Women will be consulting on how to increase the number of women entering into and succeeding in business. The Business Development Bank of Canada also has earmarked $700 million over the next three years
in financing for women-owned businesses. The funding will provide up to 400 additional loans to businesses which are majority-owned by women. Besides earning less than men and acting more as care givers women are more affected by rising health care costs than men because they tend to live longer and tend to be more proactive about their health than men. BMO offers some suggestions to help women achieve financial security. One is to have a risk management plan. Ensure you have funds that are easily accessible and sufficient to deal with any crises that might arise. Living benefits, critical illness insurance, long-term disability and health insurance are important lines of defence against unforeseen health issues. Take advantage of tax-beneficial savings options such as the Tax Free Savings Account (TFSA) to help you reach your goals. Executives and business owners can invest in company-sponsored defined benefits and defined contribution pension plans and self-employed professionals can use Independent Pension Plans (IPPs) to save for their retirement.

Canola industry urges clubroot resistant varieties BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — Researchers are grappling with a tough new strain of a disease in Alberta that can kill or reduce the yield of oilseed-producing canola plants. The discovery comes as the industry works to stop all forms of clubroot from spreading to other growing areas across the Prairies. Clubroot has been in Europe for centuries but was first discovered in Western Canada near Edmonton in 2003. Since then the soil-borne pathogen has steadily moved from a few fields to 30 municipalities in mainly rural areas. The disease deforms roots which are then no longer able to carry water and nutrients to leaves, stems and pods. Visible symptoms include wilting, stunted growth, yellowing, premature ripening and shrivelled seed. Once established, it is hard to get rid of. Spores can survive in soil for up to 20 years. New varieties of canola have been developed that

GREECE: At an impasse The most dramatic sign of an impasse in the discussions came on Thursday when the IMF sent its negotiators home from bailout talks with Greek officials in Brussels, citing a lack of progress. Germany’s Economy Minister Sigmar Gabriel said his country won’t let itself be blackmailed into a bailout deal with Greece. Gabriel on Sunday told German public broadcaster ARD that Europe’s patience with Greece is running out. “A couple of game theorists in the Greek government believe that in the end the fear in Europe that Greece might leave (the euro) is so great that we’ll agree to anything. That’s not the case,” he said. At the same time, Greece also stuck to a hard line on Sunday, with a government official saying that the country will never accept cuts in pensions and wages or extra taxes on necessities such as electricity. The official said IMF representatives are insisting on pension and wage savings worth about 1.8 billion euros ($2 billion) and an equal amount of extra revenue from VAT. “These measures concern the popular classes and employees,” said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the ongoing talks in Brussels between Greece and its creditors. He added that Greece will no longer accept measures that undermine growth and has submitted proposals that cover creditors’ demands for a primary budget surplus without doing so. Without outside help, Greece is unlikely to be able to repay a roughly 1.6 billion-euro IMF debt installment due June 30 and larger debts due to the European Central Bank in July and August.
TWITTER: Too many trolls DEAL WITH TROLLS Twitter has long had a problem with trolls, the online bullies and blowhards whose abuse has been an ongoing issue that has alienated established and potential users. It has tried to make it easier to report threats and in April updated its policy against violent threats to include not just specific threats but people promoting violence against others. It’s too early to say if this has helped.
can resist clubroot, but last year a newer strain of the disease was detected by a University of Alberta researcher. “There are 16 fields confirmed in Alberta with a strain of clubroot that has overcome all of our resistant varieties that are currently on the market,” said Dan Orchard, an agronomy specialist with the Canola Council of Canada. “We have the best handle that we could possibly be expected to have on it, but it is still Mother Nature and a pathogen.” Canola, which is used to make cooking oil and animal feed, contributed more than $19 billion to Canada’s economy in 2013. The council estimates there are more than 45,000 growers, mainly in the Prairie provinces. Low concentrations of regular clubroot varieties have been found in Saskatchewan and Manitoba, but not the newer strain. The disease, which can be spread by wind and on clubroot-infested soil picked up by farm and energy industry machinery, has not had a major effect on crop yields so far.
Orchard said the industry wants to ensure that continues by preventing all forms of clubroot from spreading into new growing areas. To that end, researchers are working to develop even tougher types of canola. In the meantime, growers are being encouraged to plant the latest clubroot-resistant varieties before the disease shows up in fields. “Rather than waiting until it arrives we want to get ahead of that kind of leading edge that is creeping across the Prairies and choke it back rather than chasing it,” said Orchard. The industry is also encouraging producers to extend crop rotations and to clean and disinfect machinery used in one field before moving to another. Orchard said growers in Saskatchewan and Manitoba could be spared what is happening in Alberta if they follow those steps. “They are getting on it so early that I just can’t foresee clubroot having an impact in those provinces if they keep up with their management and monitoring and surveying. “Alberta had to learn the hard way.”

DEMONSTRATE STRENGTHS TO ADVERTISERS Twitter knows something about its users’ interests, but Facebook knows far more about its users’ likes and habits, while Google and Pinterest can more readily predict what users might want to buy. That, coupled with Twitter’s slowing user growth, has made advertisers are more likely to spend their money on other sites, analysts say. Twitter’s strength, however, is drawing people’s attention during live events, such as sports championships, breaking news and popular television shows, said Debra Aho Williamson at the eMarketer research firm. Reaching casual users on a routine basis is harder, but Twitter may succeed if it can “engage advertisers in that ’real-time’ story,” she said.
SHOW INVESTORS IT’S SERIOUS ABOUT BUSINESS The new CEO must show Wall Street that Twitter is focused on building revenue and delivering on financial targets, added Scott Kessler, a tech stocks analyst at S&P Capital IQ. “Their single biggest shortcoming is really about the ability to consistently communicate and execute against their strategy,” he said.
WOMEN: Plan for legacy And plan for your legacy -- speak with your family and loved ones to ensure your financial assets are passed on and consider teaching your children about financial management and responsibility and introduce them to your financial planning professional when the time is right. “Women often face financial challenges unique to their gender,” says Dabu. “For this reason it becomes all the more critical for them to work with a financial professional who understands their situa-

In addition to setting a record for 2015, Jurassic World is now the secondhighest domestic opening of all time, right behind Marvel’s The Avengers which took in $207.4 million in 2012. By the time Monday actuals roll in, there is a chance the film could dethrone Avengers. It has been 14 years since there has been a new Jurassic film in theatres, and the combination of cinematic grandeur, nostalgia and awareness helped Jurassic World far surpass analyst predictions going into the weekend, which had the film on track for a $125 million opening. “This over-performed in a way that I’ve never seen,” Rentrak’s Senior Media Analyst Paul Dergarabedian said. “It broke the box office sound barrier.” Universal Pictures and Legendary co-financed the $150 million, PG-13 rated film. Audiences in every quadrant turned out to see the film in theatres. According to exit polls, 39 per cent were under the age of 25, signifying the massive interest of both a new generation and the continued enthusiasm of those who saw Jurassic Park in 1993. Also, audiences shelled out the extra money to see the film in the biggest format possible. About 48 per cent of domestic audiences opted for 3D. “It is extraordinary. The film has resonated with audiences around the world,” said Nick Carpou, Universal’s president of domestic distribution. Directed by Colin Trevorrow and executive-produced by Steven Spielberg, Jurassic World is the third in a series of blockbusters for star Chris Pratt, who also starred in the 2014 box office hits Guardians of the Galaxy and The Lego Movie. “He’s like Jimmy Stewart with a leather vest and muscles,” Dergarbedian said. “He’s a great modern-day action hero.” This is also likely not the last Jurassic film audiences will see. Pratt has stated in interviews that he has signed on for future installments. But right now, Universal is focusing on what’s in theatres. Jurassic World is just the latest hit for Universal in 2015, following Fifty Shades of Grey and Furious 7.

NASHVILLE — Carrie Underwood remembers when she first performed to thousands of country fans at the coveted Country Music Association’s Music Festival in Nashville, Tennessee. It was June 2005, which is exactly 10 years ago this month. Fresh off an American Idol win, Underwood said her first big Nashville stage show was a madhouse. “It was a chaotic, with cameras flashing and a gazillion fans,” Underwood said. But her main worry was remembering the words to the song she was performing onstage. “I was singing with Phil Vassar, a song I did not know,” Underwood said. “I was like, ‘Oh Lord, don’t let me screw up the words.’ We somehow pulled it off OK.” Now a decade later, Underwood has seven Grammy Awards and a handful of No. 1 singles on the country charts under her belt. She’s a wife, a new mom, and a bona fide super star. Underwood said her pregnancy allowed her to slow down and focus on new music instead of touring. “I spent a lot of time writing and listening to new songs,” Underwood said. “I feel like now we’re on the right track and in a really good place.” Before her sold-out performance at the 2015 CMA Music Festival Saturday night, Underwood admitted she was a bit nervous. It was her first big stadium show since giving birth to her son, Isaiah, back in February. But when she hit the stage with her hit Blown Away, there was no sign of nerves. Strutting in her bejeweled hotpants and matching vest, Underwood brought her fans at LP Field to their feet, even asking them to get sassy before jumping into the song, Undo It.

Mother-in-law feeling used Dear Annie: I have two daughters-inlaw who seem disrespectful to me. The first one only visits on Christmas day. Yet she has no problem calling when she wants me to take her kids to a doctor’s appointment or pick them up from school. The other one does the same, but her excuse is that they are too busy to see me because they are spending time with her side of the family or they are having friends over. I don’t want to waste any more of my time on people who have no other use for me, and this upsets my husband no end. But, Annie, it’s simply not fair. I am entitled to some respect. Why do these women think I owe them everything, but they never reciprocate? — Mother-in-Law from Hell Dear Mother-in-Law: Respect has to be earned, no matter who you are. A relationship with an in-law takes time and effort from both sides. Apparently, you get to see the grandchildren. Some parents would be thrilled to have that much. Do you see your sons without their wives? If not, you should speak directly to them about it. Never denigrate or criticize their wives. Instead, we urge you to do what you can to warm up these relationships. Let your daughters-in-law know how much you appreciate them for being supportive wives to your sons and good parents to the children (we hope they are). Find something to like about them if it kills you. Invite all of them over for dinner or bring dinner to them. Have a “girls’ day out” and take the daughters-in-law for brunch and bonding. If you can keep your side positive and friendly, they are more likely to respond in kind. Dear Annie: Every year, my four closest friends and I host birthday parties for one another. We call ourselves “soul sisters.” Because we are all settled with homes and families, we decided that it would be fun to create an individual wish list prior to our birthday party. It makes it easier to shop,
GIRAFFE TAKES ITS FIRST STEPS
and we won’t receive unneeded items. One of our “soul sisters” creates an extensive and very detailed wish list. However, when it comes to gifts for others, she disregards our lists entirely, ignorMITCHELL ing our sugges& SUGAR tions and buying things we can’t use, don’t want and often cannot return. I end up donating these items to our local thrift store. I know that these are gifts and we should be grateful, but this has really begun to bother me. Her birthday is coming up, and I would like to buy her something that isn’t on her list to see how she responds. What do you think? — Soulless Dear Soulless: We understand your frustration, and you certainly could try turning the tables to see whether it makes a difference. You also can ask her directly why she never gets things on the list. She may, in fact, resent having to purchase things that you are asking for. These are your “soul sisters” and such a conversation should not be that difficult. Your group of friends could also decide not to buy each other gifts altogether. And, of course, you can simply consider these gifts to be unexpected bonuses (instead of expected obligations) and keep donating them to worthy causes.

BLUMENSCHEIN Charlene Louise It is with the greatest sadness and heaviest of hearts that we announce the sudden passing of our incredible Mom, Charlene Louise Blumenschein. We were privileged to have been able to hold her hands and tell her how much we loved her as her time with us came to an end. She was an amazing woman who lived for her family, our lives will never be the same without her presence and we will miss her dearly each and every day. Mom was born October 7th, 1936 in Edmonton to Martha and Raymond Harvey. She grew up there and then moved to Winnipeg where she worked as a secretary. In 1971, while raising her two sons Brian and Barry, she met the love of her life, Bob, who was raising his daughter Tina. Their two families joined on May 1st, 1971 and Lorianne completed their family. Mom is survived by her loving husband of 44 years, Bob, her children; Brian Blumenschein, Barry Blumenschein (Terrey), Tina Blumenschein (Gil Nunes), Lorianne Domoney (Doug), her ten fabulous grandchildren; Megan, Jamie, Josh, Raymond, Cassie, Jenny, Brandon, Cody, Kaylee, Lauren, two wonderful great-grandchildren; Lainey and Kasen and her brother Fran. Mom was predeceased by her mom and dad, Martha and Raymond, her brother Jerry, her mother and father-in-law; Lottie and Ivan and her granddaughter Caitlin. Those of you who knew Mom well will always smile as you remember her quirkiness, stockpiles of toilet paper and tuna, her favorite TV show Mike and Molly and “OFF, OFF, OFF”. A Memorial Service will be held at Eventide Funeral Chapel, 4820-45 Street, Red Deer, on Wednesday, June 17th, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, we ask instead for donations to be made to The Central Alberta Cancer Center, 3942-50A Avenue, Red Deer, AB, T4N 4E7, in memory of Charlene Blumenschein. Mom spent many hours with the incredible staff at the clinic and always spoke with such adoration for everyone who cared for her. Goodbyes are not forever, Goodbyes are not the end, they simply mean we’ll miss you until we meet again. Love you Mom, forever and always! Condolences may be forwarded to the family by visiting www.eventidefuneralchapels.com

Environmentalists support Loblaws ban on microbeads
Canada’s premiere heating and cooling service provider is now in Red Deer.
HOPES MOVE PUTS PRESSURE ON THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
South Korea’s MERS outbreak should be a wake-up call: WHO expert TORONTO — South Korea’s burgeoning MERS outbreak should be a reminder to the world that a virus some may have written off can trigger significant disease and major disruption, a World Health Organization expert says. The outbreak in that country has now infected 126 people, 11 of whom have died. And it may be a while yet before South Korea’s health officials manage to stop spread of the virus, said Peter Ben Embarek, the WHO’s point person for Middle East respiratory syndrome or MERS. Two hospitals have been closed, several thousand people have been ordered into quarantine and tourists are reportedly cancelling trips to the country. The unexpected outbreak and the

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 the federal government’s regulatory shortfalls. 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 (TSX:L) 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 antibacterial soaps and body washes, toothpaste and some cosmetic products and is thought to contribute to antibiotic resistance. Phthalates are a family of chemicals used to add fragrance to products that include body lotions and nail polishes, and to make plastics more flexible. There are concerns they may interfere with the body’s endocrine system, linked to human reproduction. Microbeads are bits of plastic commonly used in facial and body scrubs, but are so tiny they can’t be filtered out by water-treatment systems and end up in lakes and rivers where they wind up killing fish, which confuse them with food. Environmental groups have urged Ottawa to classify microbeads as a “toxic substance� under the Environmental Protection Act, which would make it possible for the federal government to control their use or ban them altogether. The government said in March that it was studying the dangers posed to wildlife and the environment by the plastic microbeads, and on Thursday said the scientific review was still underway by Environment Canada along with an assessment of triclosan and phthalates. John Bennett, executive director of Sierra Club Canada, said the Conservative government has failed to act and left the responsibility up to large
companies themselves. “We would expect that the federal government should step up at this point and say the evidence is clear,� he said. “It also shouldn’t work out that Loblaw’s competitors get an economic advantage because they’re not making the investments to change these products.� Even after Loblaw’s decision, some of the most popular beauty products in Canada will still contain microbeads. Beat the Microbead, an international campaign to eliminate the ingredient, provides a list of products available on the Canadian market which contain the plastic. Some of the most common items are Neutrogena face washes, manufactured by Johnson & Johnson, and items in the Garnier line by L’Oreal. Johnson & Johnson has committed to phasing out microbeads by the end of 2017, and set earlier removal timeframes for triclosan and phthalates. Environmental Defence, a Torontobased environmental group, said Loblaw was showing “clear leadership� among retailers by making the push to eliminate the chemicals and microbeads. “Government should be helping to create a level playing field for companies,� said Nancy Goucher, manager of the organization’s water program. “These things should’ve never been added in the first place, especially microbeads. They’re completely unnecessary and there’s lots of other safe alternatives they could’ve used instead, like coca beans, oatmeal or pumice.� The organization believes Health Canada should consider reworking the approval process and also make laws that require clearer product labels. Phthalates, for example, can be hard to track because they are sometimes used in fragrance oils and therefore not listed in a product’s ingredients. While Loblaw says it could take three and a half years to phase out the ingredients completely, work has already begun and products with the chemicals and microbeads will diminish month by month, spokesman Kevin Groh said in an email. “Our long-term deadline respects the task this will represent for our vendors. But, if our ambition is any indicator, 2018 is a conservative target,� he said. “In other words, we hope that the list of PC and Life products with these ingredients will be very short, very soon.�

reaction to it is highly reminiscent of the 2003 SARS outbreak, also caused by a coronavirus. And the WHO is hoping countries that may have grown complacent about MERS are taking note. “It should be a wake-up call for all those who didn’t believe MERS could move seriously outside of the Middle East,� said Ben Embarek of the virus, which has until now has done most of its damage on the Arabian Peninsula. The outbreak should inspire countries to boost their efforts to spot imported cases, such as the one that touched off the South Korean outbreak, as well as prepare for what they would do if a MERS patient arrived in their health-care systems, he suggested. “I think the first lesson from the Korea event, whatever happens there, is that the source (of MERS) is still in the Middle East and the same source could create similar events in any other countries in the world tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.�

Man shoots up Dallas police HQ GUNMAN KILLED BY POLICE, NO OTHER INJURIES IN SATURDAY ATTACK BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DALLAS — The man linked to a violent assault on Dallas police headquarters was accused two years earlier of choking his mother, then fleeing to an East Texas town where schools were locked down out of fear he would attack them as “soft targets,� according to accounts from police and family members. Police said the suspect, who planted pipe bombs outside the headquarters and fired at officers early Saturday from his armoured van, told them he was James Boulware. He was killed hours later by a police sniper, and the medical examiner still hadn’t officially confirmed the man’s identity on Sunday. In interviews with The Associated Press, Boulware’s father recalled his son’s seething anger at police after losing custody of his child, and his brother recalled that the family’s attempts to get Boulware help were rebuffed. “We had tried for two years,� his brother, Andrew Boulware, said Sunday. “I didn’t honestly think that he would ever go this far, but it was always in the back of my mind that it was a possibility.� Authorities say it was miraculous no one else was injured in Saturday’s attack, in which the gunman sprayed the front of the building with gunfire just after midnight. After opening fire, the suspect drove the armoured van into a squad car, still firing, then led police on a chase to a restaurant parking lot in the suburb of Hutchins. The police sniper shot him during the standoff,
BRIEF North Carolina shark attack leaves a teen girl severely injured OAK ISLAND, N.C. — A North Carolina mayor says that a teenage girl suffered severe injuries in a shark attack near a fishing pier. Mayor Betty Wallace of Oak Island, a seaside town bordered to the south by the Atlantic Ocean, says that the teenage girl was bitten Sunday afternoon. Wallace says the girl lost part of her left arm and may lose part of her left leg. The victim was airlifted to a nearby hospital. Wallace said in a phone interview Sunday that she didn’t have further information on the girl’s prospects for recovery. The girl was visiting the area from out of town. Further details weren’t immediately available.
Separate bus crashes in Egypt kill 23, injure 17 others CAIRO — Two separate road accidents in Egypt killed 23 Egyptians and injured 17 others on Sunday, officials said. Husam Gamil, director of emergency services for the Red Sea governorate, said one accident occurred when a passenger bus flipped over near the resort city of Hurghada, killing 11 people and injuring 11 others. Maj. Gen. Mohamed Ismail, a local security director, said 12 people were killed and another six injured when their minibus collided with a truck carrying construction materials near Wadi Natrun, some 125 kilometres (78 miles) northwest of Cairo. Deadly road accidents claim thousands of lives in Egypt every year. They are mostly caused by speeding, bad roads or lack of regular vehicle maintenance.
Jamaica police force hunting for man suspected in quadruple slaying KINGSTON, Jamaica — Jamaica’s police force is offering a rare reward
but it took several hours to confirm his death out of fear that he had loaded his van with more explosives. Police on Sunday said they had put 14 officers involved in the incident on administrative leave pending an investigation. Boulware was arrested for family violence in Dallas two years ago, in a case that was later dismissed. According to a Dallas police report, a witness says Boulware was in his mother’s
house and “began talking rudely about religion, Jews and Christians.� The report says Boulware then grabbed his mother by the neck for 2-3 seconds until a third person could pull him off. The two men fought until Boulware left the house. The police report says he was then reported the same day to be in Paris, Texas, about 100 miles away, where he grabbed weapons and body armour and talked about “shooting up schools
for information leading to the capture of a man suspected in a quadruple killing. In a Sunday statement, the Jamaica Constabulary Force identified the suspect as Anward Anthony Hinds. They say he is a primary suspect in a May 27 shooting in the Caribbean island’s St. Elizabeth parish that killed three farmers and a 73-year-old shopkeeper. The murdered men were part of a group playing dominoes outsides a shop in Clermont Square when they were attacked by at least two gunmen.
Police are offering nearly $10,000 to anyone who can supply information leading to the arrest of Hinds.
Police say swarming mayflies prompt closure of Pennsylvania bridge, 3 motorcycle crashes LANCASTER, Pa. — Authorities say a swarm of mayflies was so dense
it caused motorcycle crashes and prompted the closing of a Pennsylvania bridge. The LNP newspaper reports that mayflies swarmed around the lights on the bridge and then fell to the ground, forming piles several inches (centimetres) deep on the road. Police in West Hempfield Township in Lancaster County said the bridge between Columbia and Wrightsville was shut down about 10:30 p.m. Saturday.

and churches.� Andrew Boulware and his father, Jim, confirmed the incident. Andrew Boulware accused authorities in Dallas of ignoring family members’ statements that James was mentally unstable. “They diagnosed him as sane in 15 minutes,� Boulware said. He remembers James claiming that he had dreamed about the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, and other disasters before they had happened. He also remembers pleading with James Boulware to get medical help, and going to a local official but being ignored. “He never was properly diagnosed,� Andrew Boulware said. “He could be the nicest guy in the world. He tried to help friends out whenever he could. He was not a bitter person.� His mother, Jeannine Howard, said in a statement to local media that she considered her son “lost to mental health� long before his death. “We tried to get him mental help numerous times, but the system failed him, because he was declared ’sane,�’ she said in the statement. “He was very delusional. It was very obvious. “We hope something good can come from this, and that people will reach out to hurting souls around them and unite to build up others, rather than tearing them down,� she added. “We hope that people with mental illness will receive the care they need to avoid situations like this in the future.� Boulware lost custody of his son, something that his father, Jim, said weighed on him deeply and caused him to distrust police.

Flood wreaks havoc on Georgian capital LEAVES 12 PEOPLE DEAD, ALLOW WILD ANIMALS TO ESCAPE FROM ZOO IN FORMER SOVIET REPUBLIC BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS TBILISI, Georgia — Severe flooding in the Georgian capital left at least 12 people dead Sunday and triggered a big-game hunt across the city for lions, tigers, a hippopotamus and other dangerous animals that escaped from Tbilisi’s ravaged zoo. Residents were warned to stay indoors as police conducted the hunt, but fear deepened as night fell on the city of 1.1 million with some of the animals still on the loose. “The daytime wasn’t bad,” said resident Khariton Gabashvili, “but tonight everyone has to be very careful because all the beasts haven’t been captured. They haven’t been fed, and in their hungry state they might attack people.” Heavy rain turned a normally pleasant city stream into a fierce torrent that destroyed or damaged hundreds of homes in the former Soviet republic. Officials said 12 people were known to have died and about two dozen others were missing. There were no immediate reports that any of the dead were killed by the animals, which ran off after the floodwaters destroyed their enclosures. Among the beasts that escaped were bears, wolves and monkeys. A hippopotamus — an extremely aggressive animal with the ability to run faster than humans in short bursts — was spotted lumbering through a flooded square not far from the zoo and was shot with a tranquilizer dart. Other animals were hunted down and

People assist a hippopotamus that has been shot with a tranquilizer dart after it escaped from a flooded zoo in Tbilisi, Georgia, Sunday. Tigers, lions, a hippopotamus and other animals have escaped from the zoo in Georgia’s capital after heavy flooding destroyed their enclosures, prompting authorities to warn residents in Tbilisi to say inside Sunday. killed. The carcasses of at least a lion, a boar and a tiger were seen, and zoo authorities said six wolves were also dead. Authorities said the animals may have fled to just about any corner of Tbilisi, including the forests on the steep hills in the city’s heart. “I feel frenzied. The youngsters can’t go out and walk around. I sat on the balcony with them and played games, so they could breathe some fresh air,” said 25-year-old Khatuna Bolkvadze, a mother of two who lives near the zoo. Zoo spokeswoman Mzia Sharashidze said a count of the escaped animals
was not immediately possible because so many of the zoo’s enclosures were under water. But she said five lions were unaccounted for and many monkeys had escaped. Three zoo workers were found dead on its grounds, including a woman who less than a month ago lost an arm in a tiger attack. Her husband was also reported dead. The floodwaters gouged huge chunks out of roads and swamped numerous homes. Helicopters circled the city, and volunteers and rescue workers laboured to help residents despite the danger from the escaped animals. “On this small street there are five
dead, three houses completely washed out and everyone is affected,” said Lamara Zumburidze, a resident of the hardest-hit section of the city. “I don’t know where to sit, where to lie, what to do.” Some officials accused authorities of using unnecessary force against the wild beasts. Zoo director Zurab Gurielidze said one of the park’s most beloved attractions, a young white lion named Shumba, had been found shot in the head. “Our Shumba is no more,” he lamented, according to the news agency Interfaxe. “It’s simply possible that someone exceeded his authority.”
Thousands flee into Turkey amid fighting between Kurds and Muslim militants BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS AKCAKALE, Turkey — Thousands of Syrians cut through a border fence and crossed over into Turkey on Sunday, fleeing intense fighting in northern Syria between Kurdish fighters and jihadis. The flow of refugees came as Syrian Kurdish fighters closed in on the outskirts of a strategic Islamic State-held town on the Turkish border, Kurdish officials and an activist group said,
potentially cutting off a key supply line for the extremists’ nearby de facto capital. Taking Tal Abyad, some 80 kilometres (50 miles) north of the Islamic State stronghold of Raqqa, would deprive the militant group of a direct route to bring in new foreign militants or supplies. The Kurdish advance, coming under the cover of intense U.S.-led coalition airstrikes in the area, would also link their two fronts and put even more pressure on Raqqa. In this Turkish border village, the

refugees took by surprise the Turkish troops stationed there, who were overwhelmed by the large number of people crowding the crossing. Thousands of people had been gathering for more than a day on the Syrian side of the Akcakale border crossing before they broke through Sunday afternoon. People threw their belongings over the fence while others passed infants into Turkey over barbed wires before following through a several-meter wide opening in the border fence. Turkish troops later brought in rein-
forcements and gathered up the refugees on the Turkish side of the border, preventing them from going deeper into Turkey. Earlier Sunday, Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmus speaking on the refugee situation at the crossing between in Tal Abyad and Akcakale, claimed that those refugees were not fleeing fighting between Kurds and the Islamic State group, but were rather trying to escape to Turkey in case their villages are hit by U.S.led coalition bombings.
