Lesser of two evils LACOMBE LEFT WITH NO CHOICE BUT TO RELEASE TREATED SEWAGE INTO WOLF CREEK BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF Treated sewage is trickling out of Lacombe’s nearcapacity lagoons into Wolf Creek. The problem drew a written warning in May from Environment Canada for violating the Fisheries Act by releasing a substance “deleterious to fish” that could reach a waterway. So far, there is no indication that fish have been

harmed by the small amounts released. It is quickly diluted. Environment Canada, which was told of the release as soon as it was spotted, is not talking about fines. Surprisingly, Lacombe’s sewage trickle is considered the lesser of two evils. Matthew Goudy, Lacombe’s director of operations and planning services, said stopping the flow entirely risks a much bigger calamity — a significant breach in one of the city’s treatment lagoons and a much bigger flow of toxic sewage into Wolf Creek,

which eventually joins the Battle River in Ponoka County. “If we continued to hold everything back, we would over-top the berms (separating sewage treatment and storage cells) and we would have a release of untreated sewage, possibly a major release if the berms failed,” said Goudy. “We have no choice but to slowly release at a very, very slow rate the treated end of the sewage.”

Dangerous offender status upheld against Red Deer man BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF Dangerous offender status has been upheld by Alberta’s top court for a man convicted of violently beating and sexually assaulting an elderly woman on her way to the grocery store. In a ruling handed down on Thursday, the Alberta Court of Appeal upheld the 2012 dangerous offender ruling of Jesse Peter Toews, 31, of Red Deer. The court said the crime he was convicted for was brutal as opposed to merely despicable. In effect, Toews will be held in custody for an indefinite period of time. During his trial, Justice Monica Bast ruled Toews was a dangerous offender and should remain in prison until he no longer poses a threat. Toews appealed the dangerous offender status on the narrow point of Bast’s ruling that the offence was brutal, a provision allowing for a dangerous offender designation. Instead, the appeal argued the crime was “merely despicable.” The appeal court ruled that Bast’s ruling of Toews’ behaviour as brutal was justified. Toews was convicted in 2011 in a brutal sexual as-

sault of a 77-year-old woman who was on her way to the grocery store. In 2009, Toews attacked the woman from behind while she was walking along a dirt path near the grocery store. Toews quickly overpowered the smaller woman, covered her mouth with his hand and pulled down her underwear. The woman begged Toews to leave her alone, offering him money, but the attack continued. She was rendered unconscious during the vicious attack and awoke alone on the ground in an area surrounded by trees. Her face and clothing were covered in blood from a head wound, and she had cuts and a black eye. She was taken to hospital, examined and treated. Witness statements put Toews in the area at the time and his DNA was found on the victim’s underwear. In 2011, during the dangerous offender hearing, a psychological assessment concluded that Toews is a psychopath with a very high risk of violent recidivism and a moderate to high risk of sexual recidivism. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com

It goes hand in hand with summer — gasoline prices go up and the grumbling begins. But simple supply and demand is a bit more complicated this time. Stephanie Powers, an economics instructor at the Donald School of Business at Red Deer College, provides the answer to the big question a lot of annoyed consumers are asking: Why is the price of gasoline climbing, yet the price of oil is low? There are two things driving up gas prices even though oil is low, said Powers. Powers, who has a doctorate, has degrees in finance, economics, and statistics. She teaches economics, marketing research and operations management at the college. In Red Deer, the price of gasoline has recently been moving upwards. Regular gasoline was as high at $114.9 per litre on Thursday. The price of a barrel of oil was US$60.39. Powers said every year, at the end of May and beginning of June, gas prices go up because people do more travelling in the summer. The increase in demand pushes prices up. But there’s another factor now — even though the price of oil is low because there is a Saudi-driven surplus of it, oil prices are based in American dollars. In Canada when a gas station goes to buy fuel to reload its tanks, it’s paying in U.S. dollars. And the U.S. dollar continues to go up compared to the value of the Canadian dollar. So gas stations must spend more Canadian dollars to get that same gas. The Canadian dollar was worth .82 cents U.S. on Thursday. Powers expects gasoline prices to be fairly stable over the summer, fluctuating a bit as the U.S. and Canadian currency exchange rate changes. Private gas stations only see a profit margin of about two or three per cent, she said. “That’s small, much smaller than most retail companies,” said Powers. The profit margin is a little higher, but not much, for stations tied to large companies. Gas stations are always looking at what it is going to cost to reload their tanks. When they see the Canadian dollar decline, they are concerned that the next tank of gas is going to be even more expensive than the one now, she said. If you are forecasting the future, you are not necessarily going to instantly drop the price if you think the Canadian dollar is going to strengthen — you hesitate because maybe it’s temporary. That’s why there is a lot more reaction to raise the price than there is an instant reaction to drop it as the exchange rates fluctuate, Powers said. It’s scarier to drop the price, then raise it when the profit margin is so tight, she said.

SEWAGE: Treatment at capacity In the sometimes confusing collision between provincial and federal environmental regulators, the trickling sewage meets Alberta Environment guidelines for release, but not a fish-kill test that Environment Canada requires in its own regulations. Federal environment staff use the LC50 test, which puts rainbow trout fingerlings into a substance to test the leaking sewage’s toxicity. In Lacombe’s case, 100 per cent of fish died within five hours at 100 per cent concentration in one test. “We’re expecting the dilution in the creek has neutralized any toxicity but definitely that effluent, which has been certified as acutely toxic, acutely lethal to the fish it has been tested on, did make it into the creek,” he said. “So we want to make sure we’re just slowly trickling it out as slow as we possibly can.”

Harper plays up government’s track record on transit, infrastructure TORONTO — Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper rode a delayed regional train into a gridlocked but vote-rich Toronto on Thursday to tout his government’s support for urban infrastructure and public transit — traditionally the realm of the New Democrats. Days after NDP Leader Tom Mulcair spoke in the city about his plan to fund transit with gas-tax money, Harper talked up his government’s track record, rhyming off several projects it has helped finance. “Our government’s infrastructure investments have been without precedent in this country,” Harper said at a Toronto Transit Commission depot. Also fortunate is that there is little “aquatic activity” in the creek. City officials have known for years that Lacombe was reaching sewage treatment capacity and that a regional sewer line connecting Blackfalds and Lacombe to Red Deer’s high-capacity treatment plant was the best solution. As far back as 2006, the province assured Lacombe that a regional sewage line was coming and suggested it spend only enough to keep its treatment lagoons running for a few years to buy some time. With a regional sewage option still nowhere in sight, Lacombe city council is now faced with spending an estimated $5.2 million by 2017 to accomplish another short-term fix. Ammonia treatment would be upgraded and lagoons de-sludged. That is money that was supposed to have been set aside for the regional sewage system. Blackfalds is facing similar capacity issues with its sewage treatment. Mayors of both communities committed recently to stepping up lobbying efforts to get provincial funding. Both communities have put money aside to do the preliminary engineering so they can go ahead as soon as a provincial funding announcement comes. Meanwhile, Lacombe city council approved spending $32,000 earlier this week to see if engi-

neers could figure out why more sewage is flowing into the lagoons than expected. It’s possible there’s some crossover from storm water that is adding to volumes. If an answer is found — and that is by no means likely — the city may be able to reduce sewage inflows, keep lagoons from filling as quickly and delay upgrades for a time. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

GAS: Prices could continue to rise On the horizon, the price of gasoline could continue to rise more in the fall, even though the summer demand will have dropped off, said Powers. Most U.S. financial institutions are forecasting that come September, the U.S. is going to raise interest rates. If this happens, and rates are higher then they are in Canada, investors will head to the U.S. That would put a run on U.S. dollars, translating into a higher U.S. dollar, further increasing the cost of buying gasoline in Red Deer, Powers said. barr@reddeeradvocate.com

“We are committing $80 billion to infrastructure investments over the next decade.” With a nod to the fall federal election, the prime minister took jabs at Mulcair and Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau, painting them as being of a taxand-spend persuasion that will hurt the country’s economy. The other parties, he said, are promising large infrastructure spending without explaining how they would pay for it. “The fact is they have only two options: higher deficits or higher taxes or both,” Harper said. “We will do neither.” The prime minister and Mayor John Tory had earlier arrived in Toronto for a photo op aboard a GO Transit regional commuter train that had been delayed by a car accident on the line. Later, as Tory looked on, Harper expressed approval for the mayor’s public-transit plan known as SmartTrack. The federal government, Harper said, would pony up one-third of the close to $7.8-billion cost of the plan to improve local and regional transit. The money would come from a new permanent public transit fund worth $1 billion annually announced in the government’s recent budget.

VANCOUVER — A freelance journalist’s attacks on John Furlong were “sustained, continuing and unrelenting,” even after she published an article alleging he abused First Nations students, his lawyer has argued. Laura Robinson is suing the former Vancouver Olympics boss for public comments he made after her article was published in 2012 alleging he beat and taunted children at a Roman Catholic school in northern British Columbia some 45 years ago. Defence lawyer John Hunter accused Robinson of continuing to assail Furlong throughout 2012 and 2013, by writing an academic paper that contained unproven sexual abuse claims and pressuring corporations to cut ties with Furlong. Robinson testified Thursday that she presented a paper at a 2013 sports conference in Denmark that included statements that a man and two women had filed lawsuits accusing Furlong of sexual abuse at Immaculata School in Burns Lake, B.C. During tense cross-examination, Robinson said she knew the man had filed for government compensation for abuse at a separate school in 1969 and 1970, the same years he claimed he was taught by Furlong. “It wasn’t unusual for students to be ferried about to the different schools,” she testified. “Children were taken from one school to the next and often within that year.” The man’s suit was dismissed earlier this year after he failed to show up in court. Another woman dropped her lawsuit in 2014 while the third accuser’s legal action was dismissed after a judge found she attended a different school at the time. Robinson acknowledged that she incorrectly wrote in her 2013 paper that a fourth person had filed a sexual abuse lawsuit. She said she included the claim because the woman told her she had taken legal action. The journalist testified she later sent an amended version of the article to the organizers of the Play the Game conference. An online version of the paper — which says it was last updated in April 2015 — does not include any specific allegations of sexual abuse. Hunter questioned Robinson about whether it crossed her mind that accusers might have been looking for a payout. Since Immaculata was a day school, former students had no access to compensation that was available for residential school survivors, he noted. “I said that I wanted honesty and I felt that people spoke honestly to me,” she replied.

NDP plays give and take SPENDS EXTRA $624M, INTRODUCES BILL TO HIKE TAX ON WEALTHY BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — The NDP government put its imprint on Alberta’s wallet Thursday, spending $624 million on schools, hospitals, and social care and introducing a bill to increase taxes on large businesses and the wealthy. The bill, tabled by Finance Minister Joe Ceci, proposes increasing the tax rate on large corporations to 12 per cent from 10 per cent effective July 1. It also moves to hike income taxes on anyone making more than $125,000 a year effective Oct. 1. The tax changes are forecast to bring in up to $800 million in this fiscal year and up to $1.5 billion in the next. Ceci said the changes will not have an impact on 93 per cent of Alberta’s tax filers. He said while it’s not ideal to introduce tax changes mid-year, it was important to move immediately to make Alberta’s fiscal foundation more secure and fair. “Even with this new rate, Alberta will maintain an overall competitive advantage when compared to other provinces, with no sales tax, no health-care premiums and the lowest fuel tax in Canada,” said Ceci. Currently, all Albertans pay a 10 per cent flat tax on income.

The bill directs that anyone with taxable income over $125,000 but under $150,000 pay 12 per cent. Those making over $150,000 but less than $200,000 would pay 13 per cent, those making over $200,000 but less than $300,000 would pay 14 per cent and those earning over $300,000 would pay 15 per cent. There are no plans to change the three per cent tax on small businesses. Earlier Thursday, Health Minister Sarah Hoffman said some of the tax money would be used to pay for the $624 million in new initiatives. “We’re working towards ensuring there’s additional revenue, but Albertans made it very clear during the election that they did not want to see cuts to health care and education and human services,” she said. The lion’s share of the money, $500 million, is to go to health to reverse $1 billion in planned cuts under the former Progressive Conservative government. There is to be $40 million to increase base funding for post-secondary schools by two per cent, freeze tuition for two years and cancel market modifiers approved by the Tories for 25 programs. An extra $45 million is to go to schools to handle thousands of new students this fall. The government had earlier reported the figure as $103 million, but later issued a revised figure to accurately reflect the reduced time period. There’s also an extra $39 million earmarked for

Human Services for a variety of programs, including housing and outreach services for women and children fleeing family violence. The new cash is part of an interim supply bill being debated in the legislature to keep the government operating until the New Democrats bring in a budget in October. The Tories introduced a budget for the 2015-16 fiscal year just before the election, but lost the vote and are now the third party in the house. That budget called for $48.4 billion in spending. The new money announced by the NDP would be on top of that. The opposition parties have already come out against the changes. The Wildrose party has said the NDP should not boost taxes until it has done a thorough review to find savings in government. “No society has ever taxed or borrowed its way to prosperity,” said Wildrose finance critic Derek Fildebrandt. “A responsible reduction in expenditures over three years can get the province finally back in the black ... without raising taxes.” The Progressive Conservatives say making people who are well off pay more will simply drive them to live or pay taxes in another jurisdiction, leaving Alberta’s middle class to make up the difference.

Police have arrested three Hells Angels members from Alberta following a vicious assault on the Greek island of Corfu. A news release from Greek police says the Canadians are suspected of beating a 41-year-old Greek man on June 7. It says the man suffered a grievous head injury and was taken to a hospital in Athens. Michael Tucker with the Alberta Law Enforcement Response Team describes the attack as “nearfatal.” He says the men — who are 29, 34, and 35 — were in Greece at an international convention for the outlaw biker gang. The agency is helping foreign investigators by providing them with information about the suspects. Two of the accused are members of the club’s Westridge chapter in Edmonton and the other is with the Nomads in Red Deer, Tucker said Thursday.

Edmonton’s medical examiner says a woman whose body was found bound and left in a shopping cart in an alley died of blunt force trauma. The death of Andrea Marie Berg, 42, has been declared a homicide. Officers made the discovery when they responded to a report early Tuesday. Emergency responders were called to the scene and pronounced the woman dead. Witnesses who live in the neighbourhood said at the time the woman’s legs, arms and mouth were taped up and her face was bloody. The Facebook page of a woman named Andrea Berg in Edmonton says she was originally from Fort Saskatchewan and had worked at the Hope Mission, which provides shelter and services for homeless people.

COMMENT

FRIDAY, JUNE 19, 2015

Committed to change? The Liberal conversion to electoral reform is both a reflection of the party’s diminished circumstances in the House of Commons and — potentially — a watershed moment in Canadian electoral politics. For the first time, two of Canada’s three main national parties — the NDP and the Liberals — are CHANTAL about to run on HÉBERT a commitment to do away with the first-pastthe-post voting system to conduct federal elections. They may not agree on the fine print. The New Democrats have long championed a mixed proportional system and the Liberals tend to be partial to a preferential ballot. But they are on the same general page. This week, Justin Trudeau pledged to introduce a new voting system in time for the 2019 election. The New Democrats have advocated a more proportional voting regimen for decades. With the Green party on side, the blocks of a large parliamentary consensus on electoral reform are falling into place. It took a change of heart on the Liberals’ part to bring that about. Such a change would have been unthinkable back when the party, under Jean Chrétien, was riding high and reaping the benefits of the first-pastthe-post system against a divided right. Even after they lost power to Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s Conservatives a decade ago, the Liberals continued to believe that the normal swing of the pendulum would inevitably see them back in power. Three lost elections later they are at least as likely to remain in third place as to form a government this fall. Implicit in the party’s shift on electoral reform is a Liberal admission that the NDP’s competitive position is not a mere blip but rather a feature that it will have to adapt to. In a three-way battle, the current winner-take-all-system favours the Conservatives. That conclusion is only belatedly dawning on Trudeau’s party. It has been more than three decades since the Liberals last won a governing majority against a united Conserva-

tive party. Even with the wind in their backs, the New Democrats would also be hard-pressed to eke out a majority in October. Win or lose next fall, electoral reform may offer both parties the best alternative to a merger at some point down the line, and — more importantly in the big picture for each of them — their best shot at preventing the Conservatives from becoming Canada’s de facto governing party. Trudeau’s democratic reform package may not do much to turn the tide in his favour. Paul Martin and Michael Ignatieff tried and failed to impress voters with measures to fix the so-called democratic deficit in Parliament. The excitement that electoral reform inspires among voters tends to be inversely proportional to the hype that surrounds the issue within the chatter-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Editorial cartoon unfair to all that the CBC represents Re: the editorial cartoon, Friday’s Advocate, June 12 I usually find the Advocate’s editorial cartoons interesting, entertaining, and sometimes humourous … occasionally, I can’t see the point, perhaps having missed the relevant connection/story. The cartoon on Friday, June 12, was one that I did not find interesting, entertaining or humourous. In fact, it made me grumpier than usual and disappointed in the Advocate’s motivation or intent; I certainly missed the connection to any adjacent editorial or headline comparing the CBC to the troubled Senate,. The Senate historically and theoretically is a worthwhile Canadian entity if conducted fairly, honestly, with reason and integrity. At present, a substantial number of senators continue to respect the tradition and its mandate to serve Parliament and the Canadian people through “sober second thought,” good judgment and respect for taxpaying public. A significant number of current appointed members of the Senate are now on the carpet for becoming complacent, careless and hypocritical in their misuse of privilege. The CBC, I believe, represents Canada’s most important voice, managing, for the most part, to represent all areas and peoples of this great nation 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year. Over the last decade the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation has had to deal with massive budget cuts, politically motivated more than fiscally, from my perspective. I can think of nothing more important to Canadian unity than the CBC … I cannot say that about the Senate. I am looking forward to the Advocate making amends by following up with a cartoon that better reflects the significant role the CBC plays in giving Canada its true north identity while manifesting its character.

ing class. In the provinces where a plan for a different system was put to voters, the status quo prevailed. But the expanding common ground between the opposition parties on electoral reform should be cause for concern for the Conservatives. They would — at least initially — be the losers of a switch to a different electoral system. The division in the opposition vote has long been a key ingredient of their election victories. It allowed Brian Mulroney to win a second majority mandate and the 1988 free trade battle. Under Stephen Harper, a divided opposition vote has become even more essential to Conservative fortunes.

In 1899, they built a bridge with four-ton capacity when it was felt that a 20-ton capacity bridge was needed. A new railyard in Red Deer north, as planned in 1919, was abandoned for the yard in Red Deer south, which further decreased the use of Red Deer by the CNR. Schools were closed and demolished and the children bused to a school on 39th Street in the 1960s. We have schools in Red Deer north but no high schools. Red Deer south has building and plans for six high schools. Increased traffic on congested roads, increased air pollution, increased particulates will be the result. Will city council support this? For recreational swimming Red Deer north has five lanes at the Dawe Centre, while Red Deer south has the Rec Centre with both indoor and outdoor pools, Michener Centre rec centre with pools, and the Collicutt Centre with pools and water slide and the privilege of being used by the majority of people. The third open house showing plans for the area north of Hwy 11A was held on June 10 and it means a continuation of shafting Red Deer north. They cut back residential areas and expanded commercial and industrial areas. There will be approximately 20,000 new residents living on the north side of the river, bringing it to a population of 55,000 people, the size of Red Deer in the 1990s. There are no plans for a high school or a swimming pool. The community of Red Deer north, which on its own would be the ninth or 10th largest city in Alberta, and no high school and only the Dawe Centre pool. There is a lake, the largest in Red Deer, and I am hearing that they will pretty it up, put in some trails, maybe a playground and leave it at that. That is like having a Ferrari and covering it with a tarp in the garage behind the barn that you may use to get milk from the store. The city has a crown jewel in their back yard, they

bent with a persistent shortfall in support and precious little room to grow. In a preferential voting system — where the second and third choices of voters are applied in each riding until a candidate reaches 50 per cent plus one — Harper’s re-election bid would be dead on arrival. Alternatively, under a mixed proportional system, securing a majority government on a bit more than a third of the votes cast would become a thing of the past. Coalition building would not come easily to the take-no-prisoner party that Harper has rebuilt in his image. Should the NDP or the Liberals or a combination of both prevail next fall, they would have a common interest in following up on electoral reform.

could capitalize on it, they could build on it, and they could do long-overdue justice by the people of Red Deer north. Instead of tearing down the Rec Centre and outdoor pool to build a 50-metre pool, why not just spend the money on building a regional aquatic centre near the lake? Build off each other for maximum return on taxpayers’ investments. Give Red Deer north what you gave Red Deer south — a Collicutt Centre. They deserve it. The planning of the Abbey Centre in Blackfalds helped kickstart development in Blackfalds that surpassed Red Deer in recent years. Sylvan Lake will be highlighting its new $35-million complex. The city will build a trail, some nice benches, perhaps a playground. Wow, are they for real? You sit on a bench, smell diesel fumes, listen to the rumblings of diesel trucks and enjoy watching industrial traffic. Red Deer is represented by eight city councilors and a mayor — all but one lives south of the river. I live in Sunnybrook, I can easily walk down Spruce Drive to the Rec Centre, or I can easily walk down 40th Avenue to the Michener Centre Pool or I can just as easily walk down 32th Street to Collicutt Centre. How many people living north of the river have those options? Even I know that something is wrong. People have been talking about the unfair treatment of Red Deer north for over a 100 years. Recently we had a plebiscite for the ward system in municipal politics, asking for fairer representation in council, but the majority voted for the status quo and no ward system. The majority said no but coincidentally the majority lives south of the river. I hope that people will take a longer view and a more proactive plan for the area north of 11A. As it stands now, Red Deer north will be an industrial or a commercial centre while Sylvan Lake, Penhold and Blackfalds, possibly Lacombe and Innisfail will be their homes. I am worried that this will be a lost opportunity for Red Deer, and I am worried that Red Deer north will keep getting the shaft. Do you worry, too? Garfield Marks Red Deer

Meredith urged to resign BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA â€” The battered Senate absorbed yet another body blow Thursday as published allegations that Sen. Don Meredith was having a sexual relationship with a 16-year-old girl were referred to the Senate ethics officer. Meredith now faces calls for his resignation from senators of both political stripes. Senate Speaker Leo Housakos said he has referred the matter to the ethics officer, calling the alleged conduct described in a bombshell report in the Toronto Star â€œincompatible with the position of senator.â€? In his letter to ethics officer Lyse Ricard, Housakos writes that if the allegations prove true, they would constitute â€œconduct unbecoming of a senatorâ€? that would require â€œdisciplinary sanctions.â€? He alleges Meredith â€œmay have improperly used his position of trust and authority as a senator.â€? â€œI find this sort of (alleged) behaviour disturbing, unacceptable and intolerable and I hope that the ethics commissioner will come back in an expeditious fashion,â€? Housakos said in an interview with The Canadian Press. â€œAs Speaker of the Senate of Canada Iâ€™m called upon to explain things. Certain things are inexplicable and this kind of behaviour is inexplicable.â€? Meredith resigned from the Conservative caucus Wednesday night after the Star reported that a woman claims to have had a sexual relationship with

Liberal Senator Serge Joyal comments on Senator Don Meredith, who was ousted from the Conservative caucus, to the members of the media outside the Senate Chambers on Parliament Hill Thursday. him that began shortly after she turned 16. The woman told the Star that Meredith initially believed her to be 18, but she told him her true age within six weeks of the pairâ€™s first meeting at a Black History Month event at a church in Ottawa. The Star report said the woman, who is now 18, had sexually explicit online chats with Meredith and that the relationship progressed to kissing and touching before she turned 18. She said the pair had intercourse twice after she turned 18 before the

50-year-old Meredith broke off the relationship earlier this year. Sen. Claude Carignan, government leader in the upper chamber, confirmed that he accepted Meredithâ€™s resignation Wednesday night, and said he remains deeply concerned by the serious nature of the allegations. Senators arriving for morning meetings Thursday expressed shock and dismay at the latest scandal to rock their already battered ranks. Liberal Sen. Jim Munson said the allegations against Meredith are â€œsickeningâ€? and said Meredith â€œshould do

the right thingâ€? and resign from the Senate and â€œget on with his life.â€? â€œIf heâ€™s not good enough for the Conservative caucus, then heâ€™s not good enough for the Senate of Canada.â€? Conservative Sen. Vern White called the allegations â€œdisgustingâ€? and said if they are proven true, Meredith should be expelled from the upper chamber. â€œThis is his scandal. This isnâ€™t mine, this isnâ€™t ours. This is his and heâ€™ll own it.â€? The age of consent in Canada for sexual relations is 16, except in cases of a relationship of trust or authority in which the young person is in a dependant or exploitive relationship, when it increases to 18. According to the Star, Meredith â€” who was appointed by Prime Minister Stephen Harper in 2010 â€” has not responded to direct allegations that he had an improper sexual relationship with a person under the age of 18. At one point, when contacted on the phone, the Star said he told the newspaper he was in a meeting and hung up. Meredith did not immediately respond to calls and messages from The Canadian Press. He was already the subject of a special review by the upper chamber as a result of a high level of staff turnover in his office. Meredith is the fifth Conservative senator to leave the partyâ€™s caucus in the last 18 months as the upper chamber continues to deal Harper a splitting political headache.

BRIEFS

Government should step up fight against ISIL terror financing, MPs say OTTAWA — The Harper government should explore new ways to disrupt the flow of money to the militants of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, says a House of Commons committee. In addition to Canada’s current role of building and training local and regional security forces, the Commons finance committee wants the government to target ISIL’s administrators, financial collectors and distributors. In a report tabled Thursday, the MPs also urge the government to consider expanding the investigative capacities of the RCMP and other Canadian security agencies in order to ensure that they can address terrorist financing. They recommend the RCMP set up a specialized and dedicated terrorist financing unit within the force. In addition, the committee says the Canada Revenue Agency should be encouraged to work more closely with charities to ensure their compliance with anti—terrorist financing laws. The Canadian Security Intelligence Service told the committee that ISIL raises funds through activities in Syria and Iraq including selling oil on the black market, taking over banks, extortion, kidnapping and taxing economic activity in the areas it controls. “In CSIS’s view, these diverse fundraising methods and complex financing networks make it difficult to investigate terrorist financing and to enforce related laws,” the report says. The opposition New Democrats support the majority report, but argue in a supplementary opinion that the government has fumbled the fight against terrorist financing.

Tories look to Quebec to restock a depleted bench OTTAWA — As MPs began to bid farewell to Ottawa on Thursday ahead of Parliament rising for summer, Prime Minister Stephen Harper was already out of town, standing in a Toronto transit building, Finance Minister Joe Oliver by his side. Their side-by-side appearance to announce billions for public transit in that city, complete with an almost-endorsement from Toronto’s mayor, had all the usual hallmarks of an electioncampaign event. For Oliver, it was. At 75, Oliver might be forgiven if he was among the more than three dozen MPs not running run for re-election this fall, but he’s raring to go. “I’m ready to present myself to the people,” Oliver said this week. “(It’s) an extraordinary opportunity for me in the Finance portfolio to be able to contribute to Canadian society in a way which touches virtually every Canadian.” Oliver was among a number of Toronto-area candidates with impressive private sector pedigrees who ran for the Conservatives in 2011, including Chris Alexander, a former Canadian ambassador to Afghanistan; and Kellie Leitch, a pediatric orthopedic surgeon. It was proof, the Conservatives said at the time, that their party had the chops to attract the cream of the private-sector crop. But more than two dozen Conservatives aren’t running for re-election this time, including cabinet leaders like Peter MacKay and John Baird and relative newcomers like Shelly Glover, who had been considered a rising star, raising questions about where the party is looking to rebuild the capacity of its front bench.

Documents show two-thirds of calls to Canada Revenue Agency end with busy signal OTTAWA — Almost seven in every 10 callers looking for help from the Canada Revenue Agency are greeted by a busy signal because the lines are overwhelmed, newly released documents show. Figures tabled in Parliament this week show that in the 2014-15 fiscal year, about one-third of the 60.1 million calls made to the tax agency went through on the first try. The remaining two-thirds, or 40.9 million calls, got a busy signal. The CRA’s phone system doesn’t allow every call into the system. When the system is at capacity, callers hear a busy signal, forcing them to make multiple calls. So far this fiscal year, things have gotten worse. The data show that of the 12.8 million calls between March 30 and May 1, 2015 — the most recent figures available — a busy signal greeted almost four in every five calls. At that rate, by the end of this fiscal year 59.6 million calls to the CRA won’t be connected right away — or at least be put in the queue to speak to an official. The wait times are supposed to be two minutes, which the CRA meets about 81 per cent of the time, according to the figures tabled in response to an order paper question from Liberal MP Ralph Goodale. Goodale said the figures show that budget cuts at the CRA, including decreases in front line staff to handle inquiries, have eroded its ability to meet service standards. “It’s pretty meagre and it mocks the word service,” Goodale said. The funding to the CRA’s taxpayer’s services, for instance, has been cut by about 24 per cent between 2012-13 and 2015-16 fiscal years leading to an

Duffy trial to resume with Nigel Wright appearance OTTAWA — The Mike Duffy trial finished its second phase on Thursday and has adjourned to Aug. 11, when Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s former chief of staff Nigel Wright is expected to testify. The trial was originally scheduled to sit Friday, but it adjourned early. In the closing hours of this stage, Duffy’s lawyer Donald Bayne attempted to raise questions about the credibility of a forensic accountant who testified at his for three days this week. Mark Grenon, a public servant, was contracted by the RCMP to review Duffy’s finances, including the money trail associated with a $90,000 payment Wright gave the senator. That money allowed Duffy to repay his disputed Senate expenses for housing and travel. It also became a matter of political controversy and prompted Wright to resign his post as Harper’s closest adviser. During Grenon’s cross-examination Donald Bayne sought to undermine the accountant’s credibility. “Have you ever been retained by the defence in a criminal case?” Bayne asked Grenon, who told court he has been called to testify in other trials. “Never been asked to, no,” Grenon said. “I like to feel like my work that I’ve been doing is independent and impartial.” Bayne also pressed Grenon on his conclusion that there was a “continued amount of overspending” in the senator’s account which had be financed by a line of credit that ballooned to $100,000 at one point in 2012. “Banks are very careful about who they give credit to, right?” Bayne asked. “Clearly what you call overspending, the bank didn’t think Sen. Duffy was overspending in giving him these lines of credit and extending advances on mortgages.” “I don’t know what the bank thought,” Grenon replied. “They are in the business to lend money to make money so they are going to lend money to people who are creditworthy.”

Manitoba formally apologizes for ’60s Scoop WINNIPEG — Marlene Orgeron and her brothers were seized from her Manitoba reserve when she was three. Her uncle protested and was told by social workers he would be arrested if he tried to stop them. Orgeron says she was robbed of her identity, taken to New Orleans where she was abused mentally and physically by a white family. “I grew up wanting to die, wanting the pain to end,” a crying Orgeron recalled before a gathering of other adoptees at the Manitoba legislature. “I spent the last 20 years putting myself back together.” On Thursday, Manitoba Premier Greg Selinger apologized to Orgeron and thousands of other victims. “I would like to apologize on behalf of the Province of Manitoba for the ’60s Scoop — the practice of removing First Nation, Metis and Inuit children from their families and placing them for adoption in non-Indigenous homes, sometimes far from their home community, and for the losses of culture and identity to the children and their families and communities,” Selinger told a packed gallery of adoptees, supporters and aboriginal leaders. “With these words of apology and regret, I hope that all Canadians will join me in recognizing this historical injustice.” It is the first apology from a Canadian province recognizing a period of history many see as akin to the dark chapter of Indian residential schools. An estimated 20,000 aboriginal children were taken by child-welfare agents starting in the 1960s and placed with non-aboriginal families.

Canada’s border agency needs watchdog to handle complaints: committee OTTAWA — Canada’s border agency needs people looking over its shoulder to ensure it doesn’t abuse its extensive powers, a Senate committee says. In a report tabled Thursday, the Senate national security committee said the federal government should establish an oversight body for the Canada Border Services Agency to ensure it follows legislation and policy. The committee also wants an independent civilian review and complaints watchdog that would handle grievances from travellers about border agency activities. The agency’s 13,000 employees manage the flow of about 100 million travellers across the border every year. They collect, analyze and distribute information concerning people and goods at border points, air terminals and seaports. The committee noted that border officers can stop travellers for questioning, take blood and breath samples, and search, detain and arrest citizens and non-citizens without a warrant. In some cases, the border agency shares information about refugee claimants with individuals in the country of origin, a situation “fraught with hazard for claimants and their families,” the report says.

Pope urges ‘revolution’ to save planet has long been cast in purely political, economic or scientific terms. “This clarion call should guide the world toward a strong and durable universal climate agreement in Paris at the end of this year,” said Christiana Figueres, the U.N.’s top climate official. “Coupled with the economic imperative, the moral imperative leaves no doubt that we must act on climate change now.” Scientific data on Thursday backed up Francis’ concerns. The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration released figures showing that last month was the hottest May around the globe in 136 years of global records. In addition, the first five months of 2015 made up by far the hottest year on record, with very real effects: some 2,200 people have died in India’s heat wave.

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS VATICAN CITY — In a sweeping environmental manifesto aimed at spurring action, Pope Francis called Thursday for a bold cultural revolution to correct what he said was a “structurally perverse” economic system in which the rich exploited the poor, turning Earth into an “immense pile of filth.” Francis framed climate change as an urgent moral crisis to address in his eagerly anticipated encyclical, blaming global warming on an unfair, fossil fuelbased industrial model that harms the poor the most. The document released Thursday was a stinging indictment of big business and climate doubters, and aimed to inspire courageous decisions at U.N. climate negotiations this year as well as in domestic politics and everyday life. Citing Scripture and his predecessors, the pope urged people of every faith and even no faith to undergo an awakening to save God’s creation. “It is not enough to balance, in the medium term, the protection of nature with financial gain, or the preservation of the environment with progress,” the pope wrote. “Halfway measures simply delay the inevitable disaster. Put simply, it is a matter of redefining our notion of progress.” Environmental scientists said the first-ever encyclical, or teaching document, on the environment could have a dramatic effect on the climate debate, lending the moral authority of the immensely popular Francis to an issue that

Veerabhadran Ramanathan, a Scripps Institution of Oceanography scientist who has briefed the pope on climate issues, said the encyclical is a “gamechanger in making people think about this.” “It’s not politics anymore,” he said, adding that science is often difficult to understand but that people respond to arguments framed by morality and ethics. The energy lobby, however, was quick to criticize the encyclical’s anti-fossil fuel message. “The simple reality is that energy is the essential building block of the modern world,” said Thomas Pyle of the Institute of Energy Research, a conservative free-market group. “The application of affordable energy makes everything we do — food production, manufacturing, health care, transportation, heating and air conditioning — better.”

NIAMEY, Niger — Militants from the Islamic extremist group Boko Haram crossed the border and attacked two towns in neighbouring Niger, setting homes ablaze and killing at least 40 people, a local government official said Thursday. The attack marks the latest attempt by the Nigeria-based Boko Haram to strike inside neighbouring countries that have joined the Nigerian military’s attempt to quash the group. Earlier this week, authorities in Chad blamed the group for two suicide bombings in the capital that left at least 33 people dead. Yakouba Soumana Gaoh, the governor of Niger’s Diffa region, said the army was hunting down those responsible for the violence overnight in the towns of Lamana and Ngoumawa. “The attackers looted stores, burned villages and shot at people who tried to flee,” he said. In April, Boko Haram attacked Niger and killed at least 58 people, saying the assault was in retaliation for Niger’s support of the Nigerian military. In Chad, government military spokesman Col. Azem Bermandoa said an aerial assault had been launched Wednesday inside Nigeria on Boko Haram positions. However, Nigeria denied the claim, saying the places reportedly hit are “most likely to be in the Niger Republic and not Nigeria.” “Although the terms of the multilateral and bilateral understanding with partners in the war against terror allow some degree of hot pursuit against the terrorists, the territory of Nigeria has not been violated,” said Maj. Gen. Chris Olukolade, Nigeria’s director of defence information. Boko Haram’s sixyear-old uprising, which began in northeast Nigeria, is blamed for the deaths of 13,000 people. More than 1.5 million have been driven from their homes.

Gunman arrested in mass murder NINE SLAIN INSIDE PRAYER MEETING AT HISTORIC BLACK CHURCH

Shooting ranted about race; apartheid-era patches on his jacket

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CHARLESTON, S.C. — A white man who joined a prayer meeting inside a historic black church and then fatally shot nine people was captured without resistance Thursday after an all-night manhunt, Charleston’s police chief said. Dylann Storm Roof, 21, spent nearly an hour inside the church Wednesday night before killing six women and three men, including the pastor, Chief Greg Mullen said. A citizen spotted his car in Shelby, North Carolina, nearly four hours away. The chief wouldn’t discuss a motive. Charleston Mayor Joseph P. Riley Jr. called it “pure, pure concentrated evil.” Stunned community leaders and politicians condemned the attack on The Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church, and Attorney General Loretta Lynch said the Justice Department has begun a hate crime investigation. President Barack Obama, who personally knew the slain pastor, state Sen. Clementa Pinckney, said these shootings have to stop. “At some point, we as a country will have to reckon with the fact that this type of mass violence does not happen in other advanced countries,” Obama said. Pinckney, 41, was a married father of two who spent 19 years in the South Carolina legislature. He became the youngest member of the House when he was first elected as a Democrat at 23. “He had a core not many of us have,” said Sen. Vincent Sheheen, who sat beside Pinckney in the Senate. “I think of the irony that the most gentle of the 46 of us — the best of the 46 of us in this chamber — is the one who lost his life.” The other victims were identified as Cynthia Hurd, 54; Tywanza Sanders, 26; the Rev. Sharonda Singleton, 45; Myra Thompson, 59; Ethel Lance, 70; Susie Jackson, 87; the Rev. Daniel Simmons Sr., 74; and DePayne Doctor, 49. The shootings took out the heart of a community — civic leaders including three pastors, a regional library manager, a college enrolmentcounsellor, and a high school track coach — and left the historic church with just one living minister. “Immediately, my heart started to sink, because I knew that this was going to mean a forever impact on many, many people,” Charleston County Coroner Rae Wooten said. Wooten said autopsies would be conducted over the next several days and did not have specific information on how many times the victims were shot or the locations of their injuries. The shooting evoked painful memories of other attacks. Black churches were bombed in the 1960s when they served as organizing hubs for the Civil Rights movement, and burned by arsons across the South in the 1990s. Others survived shooting sprees. This particular con-

Marie Goff wipes tears from her eyes during prayer vigil held at Morris Brown AME Church Thursday in Charleston, S.C. gregation, which formed in 1816, has its own grim history: A founder, Denmark Vesey, was hanged after trying to organize a slave revolt in 1822, and white landowners burned the church in revenge, leaving parishioners to worship underground until after the Civil War. This shooting “should be a warning to us all that we do have a problem in our society,” said state Rep. Wendell Gilliard, a Democrat whose district includes the church. “There’s a race problem in our country. There’s a gun problem in our country. We need to act on them quickly.”

LEXINGTON, S.C. — In recent weeks, Dylann Storm Roof reconnected with a childhood buddy he hadn’t seen in five years and started railing about the Trayvon Martin case, about black people “taking over the world” and about the need for “the white race” to do something about it, the friend said Thursday. On Thursday, Roof, 21, was arrested in the shooting deaths of nine people during a prayer meeting at a historic black church in Charleston — an attack decried by stunned community leaders and politicians as a hate crime. In the hours after the Wednesday night bloodbath, a portrait began to take shape of Roof as someone with racist views and at least two recent run-ins with the law. On his Facebook page, Dylann Roof the young white man wore a jacket with the flags of the former white-racist regimes of South Africa and Rhodesia. In an interview with The Associated Press, Joseph Meek Jr. said he and Roof had been best friends in middle school but lost touch when Roof moved away about five years ago. The two reconnected a few weeks ago after Roof reached out to Meek on Facebook, Meek said. Roof never talked about race years ago when they were friends, but recently made remarks out of the blue about the killing of unarmed black 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in Florida and the riots in Baltimore over the death of Freddie Gray in police custody, Meek said. “He said blacks were taking over the world. Someone needed to do something about it for the white race,” Meek said. “He said he wanted segregation between whites and blacks. I said, ’That’s not the way it should be.’ But he kept talking about it.”

WHEN YOU CAN

Time has come for gun debate: Obama THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama said Thursday the church shooting that left nine people dead shows the need for a national reckoning on gun violence. He acknowledged, though, that there’s no appetite in the U.S. Congress for tighter gun laws. Obama, who knew the pastor killed in the attack, said he has been called upon too often to mourn the deaths of innocents killed by those “who had no trouble getting their hands on a gun.” “Now is the time for mourning and for healing,” the president said. “But let’s be clear. At some point, we as a country will have to reckon with the fact that this type of mass violence does not happen in other advanced countries. It doesn’t happen in other places with this kind of frequency. And it is in our power to do something about it.” Those killed in Wednesday night’s shooting by a white man at the historic black Emanuel AME church in Charleston, South Carolina, included pastor and state Sen. Clementa Pinckney. Obama and first lady Michelle Obama got to know Pinckney during the 2008 presidential campaign, when the pastor was an early Obama supporter. They knew several other members of the church as well.

Flames in position of power NHL DRAFT BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — With six picks in the first three rounds of the upcoming NHL draft and nine picks altogether, Calgary Flames general manager Brad Treliving is in a position of power. With the big event one week away, Treliving met with the media Thursday to discuss how he’s approaching what’s been called one of the best drafts in years. “If you look at this draft, it’s unique in the sense that you have six teams without a first round pick,” he said. “That’s a lot of teams. Subsequently, you have a number of teams without a second. So when you’re sitting there with three seconds, you become a little bit more popular.” That includes being offered established players in exchange for those second round picks. “I’ve had a handful of NHL players offered but I’ve hated every single one of them, whether it be the term, or whether it’s just not a fit,” Treliving said. “But there’s been players offered that haven’t been in the past.” In addition to Calgary’s own picks at 15, 45 and 76, the Flames also have Vancouver’s second-round selection (53), which they got for Sven Baertschi and a second (52) and third (83) from Washington, which they received for Curtis Glencross. Treliving said surplus picks gives the team options to maybe move up a few spots. That said, he’s also fine with staying where he is. “I really feel comfortable at 15 that we’re going to get a good player,” said Treliving. “I think there’s going to be both positions available in terms of forward and defence.” Organizationally, the Flames are thinnest on the blue line. Tyler Wotherspoon, 22, is considered the team’s top defensive prospect. However, Treliving says you have to stick to best player available with your top pick. “When you’re trying to align your immediate needs when drafting 17- and 18-year-olds, you’re going to make mistakes. We’ll take best player available and in a perfect world, we hope that will align with our needs, but we’ll see.” Treliving says it should be an interesting draft. “Based on a lot of the conversations and trying to sift through all the lies, the draft could get really interesting at three,” said Treliving. Treliving sees three defencemen grouped closely together and then a gap after that. He says there’s more depth, especially early, at forward. After getting Sean Monahan at No. 6 two years ago and grabbing Sam Bennett at No. 4 last year, the Flames are in a different situation this year. Rather than a player that could step right in, it’s about replenishing some depth after Monahan, Bennett and Johnny Gaudreau fast-tracked straight to the NHL. “As you’re building an organization, those picks turn into prospects that are either going to be players for you or it gives you those assets,” said Treliving. In a salary cap system, Treliving adds it’s important to continually integrate young players into the lineup as it helps the team stay competitive. It also helps financially. Treliving said he feels more comfortable going into this year’s draft than a year ago, where he had only been on the job for two months. “Going in here, you know your people better,” said Treliving, who was named the Flames GM on April 28, 2014. “You have an idea of where they fit, where their ceiling may be, what growth may be left. It’s much more comfortable in terms of valuing our players when you start talking about the market and where they may fit.”

Chambers Bay proves to be tough test SOME DECENT SCORES AND ANOTHER SHOCKER FROM TIGER WOODS IN OPENING ROUND AT U.S. OPEN BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS UNIVERSITY PLACE, Wash. — So much for Chambers Bay being the star of this U.S. Open. Thursday turned into another horror show for Tiger Woods. Henrik Stenson and Dustin Johnson set the tone on the wild terrain of Chambers Bay, which made a relatively gentle debut. Both shot 5-under 65 and shared the lead. And then came Woods. He made bogey after bogey, from the bunkers and tall grass, until he ended this not-for-prime-time performance by topping a 3-wood from the 18th fairway that bounced over one bunker and disappeared into another. He wound up with an 80, his worst ever at the U.S. Open. “I fought. I fought hard. And that was my number,” Woods said. It was the third time this year he has shot in the 80s, only this time he had some company. Rickie Fowler played alongside him and shot 81. Their scores were not a reflection of the conditions at Chambers Bay, the 8-year-old course on the edge of Puget Sound that was a mystery to so many players going into this U.S. Open unlike any other. Johnson was flawless and powerful. His only mistake came on his final hole when he pulled a 6-iron on the par-3 ninth over the green and made his only bogey. Stenson, among the cynical of Chambers Bay when he first saw it, birdied four of his last five holes. He poured in a 25-footer on the 18th for his 65. They had a one-shot lead over Patrick Reed. Ottawa’s Brad Fritsch shot an even-par 70 while David Hearn of Brantford, Ont., shot a 2-over 72 in his round. Just over two dozen players managed to break par in the U.S. Open, the major where anything around

par is considered a hard day of work. Masters champion Jordan Spieth was among those at 68. Phil Mickelson, going for the one major keeping him from a career Grand Slam, started strong and settled for a 69. Rory McIlroy had a rough day. He was frustrated with the bumpy greens and shot 72. Several tees were moved forward. Several pins were in spots where the slopes could be used to get the ball close. Complaints — except for the greens — were at minimum. “My guess was there would be 20 to 30 guys under par after today, and by the end there will be barely any,” Geoff Ogilvy said after his 69. “With a course like this, I would have thought that would be a sensible strategy to keep us all happy on Thursday and then gradually wear us down.” Woods wasn’t happy, though he managed a few laughs. “The bright side is at least I kicked Rickie’s butt today,” he said. Woods said he was on the right path with his new swing, but it was taking time and he was trying his hardest. That’s the message he gave at Memorial after his 85, yet his struggles were never more exposed than at the toughest test in golf, a major he had won three times. From the side of a hill in deep, yellow grass, he hit one shot in which the club came out of his hand and landed some 15 feet behind him. That would have been an image that defined this day at Chambers Bay — until he got to No. 18 and hit a shot with which millions of hackers could identify. Leave it to Woods to steal the show at the U.S. Open, even if he wanted to hide. Chambers Bay showed off some of its nuances. Camilo Villegas took four shots to get out of a bunker on No. 12 that ruined his birdie-birdie start.

Blue Jays use big bats to take down Mets BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Blue Jays 8 Mets 0 Toronto outfielder Kevin Pillar has come through with some solid offensive output in recent weeks to go with his stellar defensive game. On Thursday night, he delivered a critical play on the basepaths that helped extend a key inning and propel the Blue Jays to a 7-1 victory over the New York Mets. Pillar broke up a potential inningending double play with a hard slide into second base in the fourth inning. That allowed Russell Martin to come home from third base and set the stage for the top of Toronto’s potent batting order. The meat of the lineup tacked on four more runs off Mets starter Bartolo Colon and the Blue Jays were on their way to an eighth straight home win and 13th victory in 15 games overall. “That’s good hard-nosed old-time baseball,” said Blue Jays manager John Gibbons. “It’s what you’ve got to do to win.” Chris Colabello homered and Jose Bautista drove in two runs as Toronto completed a two-game mini-sweep in front of 27,588 fans at Rogers Centre. Blue Jays knuckleballer R.A. Dickey got the better of Colon in the first matchup of starting pitchers aged 40 or older since 2008. Dickey (3-6) was wild at times but more effective as the game went on, allowing one earned run and three hits

over 7 1/3 innings. “I was happy that the young buck won tonight,” he said. Toronto (36-32) remained two games behind first-place Tampa Bay in the American League East division standings. The Rays beat the Washington Nationals 5-3. New York (36-32), which dropped an 8-0 decision to the Jays a night earlier, kept their 1-½ game lead over Washington in the N.L. East. Dickey flirted with danger in the second inning after walking three batters to load the bases before getting Curtis Granderson on a strikeout. After Martin scored in the fourth inning, Jose Reyes hit an RBI single and Josh Donaldson followed with an RBI double. Bautista brought two more runs home with a single. “That’s the beauty of this offence,” said Pillar, who has 15 RBIs in his last 15 games. “There’s a lot of professional hitters on this team. A pitcher might get us once or twice (through the order) but guys are constantly making the adjustment.” In the fifth, Juan Lagares stroked a two-out double to the gap for New York’s first hit of the night. Colabello led off the Toronto half of the frame by belting a 1-0 pitch for his fifth homer of the year. Lucas Duda hit a rainbow solo shot in the eighth inning to end Dickey’s shutout bid. It was his 10th homer of the season. “He gutted it out,” Gibbons said of Dickey. “He really did. He was deter-

And then our offence took over and gave him a little breathing room.” Colon (9-5), a 42-year-old right-hander, worked 4 1/3 innings and allowed six earned runs, nine hits and a walk while striking out four. Dickey, who’s two years his junior, allowed three hits and five walks while striking out seven. “When he’s on, he’s tough to hit and you have no way to prepare for it,” said

Canadians look to finally beat a European team

SOCCER FRIENDLY

WOMENâ€™S WORLD CUP BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Canada has clawed its way into the knockout rounds at the Womenâ€™s World Cup. Now to advance, it must do what it has failed to do in five previous tournaments â€” beat a team from Europe. Going into Sundayâ€™s round-of-16 match with No. 19 Switzerland at B.C. Place Stadium, Canadaâ€™s World Cup record against European opposition is 0-9-1. Should it get past the debutante Swiss, a matchup with either No. 6 England or No. 11 Norway looms in the quarter-finals Coach John Herdmanâ€™s record at the Canadian helm against European teams in all competitions is 18-9-5, including wins over Britain and France in the quarter-final and bronze-medal match at the 2012 Olympics. â€œThe bottom line is we know the Europeans are very well-organized,â€? Herdman told a media conference call Thursday. â€œThey have a very disciplined approach to their style and theyâ€™re outstanding on the counter-attack. Thatâ€™s what they play every weekend in the European leagues. â€œSo we have to find a way, Canada, because we donâ€™t have another chance. We donâ€™t get another chance at this game. And our style and our approach will have to be better to overcome what the Swiss are going to throw at us.â€? Sophie Schmidt is expected to play Sunday, albeit in pain. The influential midfielder from Abbotsford, B.C., came off in the 81st minute of Canadaâ€™s 1-1 tie with the Netherlands on Monday after falling awkwardly challenging for a ball. Herdman said she has a painful bruise around the hip that has limited her mobility. â€œSheâ€™ll not miss the opportunity of playing at B.C. Place in her home town in this crucial match for Canada, no matter how much pain sheâ€™s in,â€? said Herdman. Pain aside, Herdman is expecting big things from Schmidt, who can be both goal-scorer and provider. â€œThe tournament is really just starting to begin now,â€? he said. â€œThese are the big games where big players step up and thatâ€™s what weâ€™re hoping for for Sophie Schmidt. This is where you get a chance to sort of write your name in football history when you play in these big matches.â€? Captain Christine Sinclair is no stranger to stepping up, saving the day for Canada in the tournament opener with a late penalty against China. Canada will be looking to her to add to her total of 154 goals, to help spark a Canadian offence that misfired more often than not in the first round. Eighth-ranked Canada had targeted a round-of-16 return for veteran midfielder Diana Matheson, who is coming off knee surgery and a broken foot. Herdman said Matheson suffered a minor setback prior to the Dutch game with a mild quad strain but could be available for selection if she trains well. Herdman calls the Swiss a well-organized team whose players ply their trade at the highest level of womenâ€™s football, in Germany and Sweden.

Canada stingy in defence but challenged on offence TORONTO â€” Tournament statistics confirm Canada as an offensively challenged, defensively stingy team at the Womenâ€™s World Cup. With just two goals from three games, Canada is tied for 19th with the Netherlands, New Zealand, Mexico and Spain in tournament scoring. Only Ecuador, with one goal, scored less. Of those six, Ecuador, Mexico, New Zealand and Spain have gone home. Canada, eighth in the world in the FIFA rankings, faces No. 19 Switzerland on Sunday in a round-of-16 game in Vancouver. Canada stands ninth in tournament shots with 40 and tied for eight in shots on target (15). The Canadian women are tied with Thailand for hitting the woodwork the most times at three. On the plus side, Canada is tied for second in goals against with one. Brazil has yet to concede with Germany, Japan and the U.S. joining Canada with just one goal given up. The tournamentâ€™s 36 first-round games produced 107 goals for an average of 2.97 a game. There were 53 goals scored in the first half and 54 in the second. Top-ranked Germany dominates the offensive stats, leading the tournament with 15 goals on 92 attempts (17 shots saved, 26 blocked and 34 off target).

RDC Kings add to hockey roster with busy recruiting effort BY ADVOCATE STAFF Red Deer College Kings head coach Trevor Keeper has been busy over the last couple of weeks recruiting for the 2015-16 season. His latest additions include Winkler Flyers goalie Devon Fordyce, Virden Oil Capitals captain and top centre Ben Williams, Melfort Mustangs winger Regan Wilton and Neepawa Natives forward Jaret Smith. Fordyce immediately bolsters the Kings goaltending situation. With Barnstable heading into his final year of eligibility, Fordyce will push Mike Salmon who struggled with consistency issues last season. The six-foot-one, 201-pound Cochrane native is well travelled with stops in the Western Hockey League with the Prince George Cougars, the Alberta Junior Hockey League with the Brooks Bandits and Okotoks Oilers, the B.C. Hockey League with the Surrey Eagles and the Manitoba Junior Hockey League with the OCN Blizzard and Flyers. He was a part of the RBC Cup champion Brooks Bandits in 2012-13, though in a back up role. Williams, out of Souris, Man., was third in scoring with Virden this past season, his third with the team, finishing with 53 points (28 goals, 25 assists) and 64 penalty minutes in 59 games. The five-foot-nine, 181 pound centre should give the Kings a boost after

struggling to provide top scorer Riley Simpson much offensive support. Wilton joins the Kings after three seasons with the Mustangs, the Meskanaw, Sask., forward a product of the Prince Albert Mintos highly successful midget AAA program. He is not a big-time scorer, but played his best hockey in the playoffs this last year, scoring 11 points (3-8-11) in 14 games as the Mustangs won the SJHL championship and made it all of the way to the RBC Cup where he had two points (1-1-2) in five games. His biggest asset maybe versatility having played wing, centre and defence. Though Smith is a Fort McMurray native, he has his hockey playing roots in Red Deer, having played four season in the city, one year with the bantam AAA Rebels White, one with the minor midget AAA IROC Chiefs and two with the midget AAA Optimist Chiefs. He too is well travelled, having played with the Fort McMurray Oil Barons, the Kingston Voyageurs of the Ontario Junior Hockey League, the Powell River Kings of the BCHL, the Kemptville 73s of the Central Canada Hockey League, and started last year with the La Ronge Ice Wolves but was dealt to Neepawa after five games.

Taking the march of champions CHICAGO CELEBRATES ITS BELOVED BLACKHAWKS WITH PARADE, RALLY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO — Jonathan Toews kissed and hoisted the Stanley Cup as he was introduced toward the end of the latest raucous rally honouring the Chicago Blackhawks. Then the captain headed toward the back of the stage at Soldier Field. The roaring crowd wanted more and, as usual, he delivered. “We all know this is amazing to be able to hoist this thing,” a hoarse Toews said. “But to do it on home ice in front of you guys, in front of our fans, to share this with you guys, the best fans in the world — it doesn’t get any better than this.” He thanked the crowd and added: “Maybe the only way it does get better is if we win four.” Tens of thousands of fans turned out on a warm, humid Thursday to cheer their beloved Blackhawks as they celebrated their third Stanley Cup championship in the past six years with a downtown parade and a rally at Soldier Field. Goalie Corey Crawford told the fans “you guys made this unbelievable.” Duncan Keith, the defenceman who won the Conn Smythe trophy as the playoffs MVP, hinted at another win saying, “four sounds better than three.” Earlier, the crowd cheered for Blackhawks legends Bobby Hull, Denis Savard and Tony Esposito. Former Blackhawks star Stan Mikita, who suffers from a progressive brain disorder, wasn’t left out. “Stan ... we’re thinking of you,” said Hall of Fame play-by-play announcer Pat Foley, the emcee. The Blackhawks captured their latest championship with a victory over Tampa Bay in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final at the United Center on Monday night. It was the first time Chicago has won the Cup on home ice since 1938 and the Blackhawks haven’t stopped celebrating since. Players, coaches and team executives rode to the rally in double-decker buses, passing screaming fans of all ages decked out in red and black, as they wound their way from the United Center downtown to Michigan Avenue and the rally at the home of the Chicago Bears. “Let’s go Hawks!” chants rang throughout downtown. It was a familiar scene for this Original Six franchise, and another reminder just how far it has come in recent seasons, with Toews and Patrick Kane leading the way. The Blackhawks won it all in

Chicago Blackhawks center Jonathan Toews holds up the Stanley Cup Trophy during a rally at Soldier Field for the NHL Stanley Cup champions Thursday, in Chicago. 2010, ending a 49-year championship drought, and captured the Cup again in 2013. But this year’s run was different. The Blackhawks endured the suicide of their longtime equipment manager Clint Reif, the death of former teammate Steve Montador and Patrick Kane’s broken collarbone. Yet there they were on Thursday, celebrating the franchise’s sixth championship. Chicago is the first NHL team to win three titles in a six-year span since Detroit in 1997, 1998 and 2002. It’s hard to believe that this organization not long ago was little more than an afterthought in Chicago and the “Madhouse on Madison” felt more like a library with its sparse crowds. The late owner Bill Wirtz refused to televise home games and drove away

franchise icons such as Hull and Mikita. Those two now have statues outside the arena, and the Blackhawks have a vice-like grip on the city. “What a great day for the city of Chicago and the state of Illinois,” new Gov. Bruce Rauner, decked out in a black Toews jersey, said as he exited the United Center before the parade. “This is fantastic to celebrate one of the greatest franchises in all of sports.” Soldier Field was rocking in a way that it rarely did last fall, with the Bears struggling. But with the Blackhawks taking centre stage, there was a different vibe at the home of the Monsters of the Midway. Fans held up red placards that read “one goal achieved.” Players took turns hoisting

and kissing the Cup as fans cheered. The crowd roared a few minutes into the rally when Kane leaned in to the microphone, asked “What’s up, Chicago?” and invited out Toews, who walked onto the stage holding the Cup above his arms. There were highlight videos. There were touching moments, like the nod to Mikita and Kris Versteeg awarding the player of the game championship belt to the young son of Reif. He did not have the title with him, but it was a heartfelt, symbolic gesture. There were also some lighter moments, like when CEO Rocky Wirtz decided to take this playful dig at Tampa Bay following a tornado warning in the Chicago area two hours before Game 6: “Anyone notice the rain on Monday night? I didn’t see any lightning.”

GM says Senators ready to win now with signing of Cameron BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Bryan Murray believes his team is ready to win now and believes Dave Cameron is the man to lead the way. The Ottawa Senators general manager announced that Cameron signed a two-year extension Thursday following the club’s dramatic turn-around last season. Cameron, 56, took over from the fired Paul MacLean on Dec. 8, and quickly righted the ship in Ottawa by posting a 32-15-8 record. Most impressive was the way his team played down the stretch. The Senators finished the season 23-4-4 and became the first team in NHL history to qualify for the post-season after being 14 points out of a playoff spot. Right from the start Cameron created a different dynamic, and players responded. “It opened a lot of lanes for the young players in particular,” said Murray. “The young guys got a chance to play and Dave wasn’t afraid to take a

veteran out if he had to. In some cases, it was injury, but in a couple of cases he just put other guys in and played them. He gave them a chance to grow and there was an excitement as well.” The Montreal Canadiens defeated the Senators in six games in the opening round of the playoffs, but the experience gained from the late push and playoffs was invaluable. Murray said Cameron brought an energy to the team and allowed players the opportunity to thrive. “He opened it up to more skating, more aggressive forechecking and better puck skills,” Murray added. “We spent a lot of time on that at practice and that made us a better hockey team.” Despite his team’s youth and inexperience Murray believes it has the potential to be a contender. “I think if you get into the playoffs today, and I think we’re a playoff contending team, that you have a chance to win the Cup,” Murray said. “I think if the last part of the year is any indication we’re close. I really believe that.” The Senators were able to get one

of its five restricted free agents under contract Thursday as Jean-Gabriel Pageau signed a two-year, one-way contract extension. The contract has a yearly average of $900,000 ($700,000 and $1.1 million). The Senators have also extended offers to Mark Stone, Mika Zibanejad, Alex Chiasson and Mike Hoffman. Despite the Senators youth movement it would appear Robin Lehner, 23, could find himself the odd-man out as the Senators look to move one of its goaltenders now that they have three under contract. The Senators recently signed Andrew Hammond to a three-year contract and Craig Anderson is entering the first of a three-year deal. Ideally Murray would like to see a team willing to take on another player contract as part of the deal. It’s no secret the Senators would like to move David Legwand and Colin Greening’s

contracts, and Murray says they have no intention of buying anyone out at this time. Murray said interest has increased in his goaltenders with the NHL draft just over a week away, but he would still like to speak with a few more teams. While Lehner is expected to be on his way out, it’s not guaranteed. “I think we’ve rated our goaltenders and we’ve got a pretty good idea about who we want to keep, but there’s no doubt that we’re open minded in that if we got a good offer on the guy that we think is the number-one at this point and time we’d certainly listen,” Murray said. If the Senators are looking to win now it makes sense to keep Anderson as he has clearly been better than Lehner. It’s also believed that the younger Lehner would provide a better return for the Senators.

RED DEER ADVOCATE Friday, June 19, 2015 B5

Argos’ defense stands up Alouettes CFL PRE-SEASON BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Argonauts 30 Alouettes 10 MONTREAL — A pair of defensive players made the difference for the Toronto Argonauts on a wet night of CFL pre-season football. Akwasi Owusa-Ansah and Branden Smith scored touchdowns on second quarter interceptions as the Argonauts defeated the Montreal Alouettes 30-10 in a rain soaked game Thursday night. Owusa-Ansah picked off starter Jonathan Crompton for a 39-yard TD return at 3:59 of the second and Smith grabbed a Dan LeFevour pass for a 28-yard score at 9:25 for the Argonauts (1-1), who had three picks in the game. Crompton, pegged to be the starter, led Montreal to a touchdown on the first drive of the game on a Jonathan Bryant run, but then struggled to find his receivers. “We got off to a good start but after that the level wasn’t anywhere near what we wanted it to be,” said Montreal coach Tom Higgins. Crompton, who joined the Alouettes in mid-season in 2014 and led them into the playoffs with an 8-2 record as a starter, was not concerned. “It’s pre-season, we’re getting the kinks out,” he said. “A couple of throws were a little high but when you’re knocking the rust off, some things are expected. “We’re trying to fight through this. Luckily, this doesn’t count against our record.” Diontae Spencer had a TD reception and Swayze Waters added 25- and 42-yard field goals for Toronto. The defence also forced a safety. Bryant scored as he swept around the left side. But then the Argos took over for a 22-7 halftime lead. Trevor Harris, starting for the injured Ricky Ray, played the first half for Toronto, completing 10-of-12 passes

for 98 yards. Mitchell Gale took over to start the second half and on his first series hit Spencer with a seven-yard TD pass, topped by a two-point convert catch by Lyle McCombs 4:03 into the third quarter. “That was a great throw,” Toronto coach Scott Milanovic said of Gale. “I thought he did a great job considering the conditions.” Former Alouette Adrian MacPherson took over in the fourth quarter. Milanovic liked how Waters performed, especially his punting. “It’s been an adjustment this year because we’ve asked him to kick it a little higher and shorter so we can cover with the new rules,” he said. “It’s not easy. I thought he did a great job.” Crompton went 5 for 10 for 71 yards and was intercepted twice while LeFevour went 7 for 14 for 60 yards and had one picked. LeFevour looked to have made a sure TD pass late in the first half, but Cody Hoffman couldn’t get a handle on the ball in heavy rain in the end zone. Brandon Bridge started the fourth quarter, when Montreal got a 31-yard field goal from Boris Bede. Rakeem Cato played the final three minutes. Pouring rain started late in the first half and much of the already thin crowd at Percival Molson Stadium, announced as 16,325, left at the intermission. Montreal opens the regular season at home next Thursday against Ottawa, while the Argos start at home against Edmonton on June 27. Argos linebacker Akeem Whonder was carted off with an injury on the opening kickoff. In the third quarter, Alexander Robinson was helped off after a low hit from Cliff Coleman. Milanovic said offensive lineman Tyler Holmes was also banged up and left the game.

Tallon believes Murray moves on at Queen’s Club he’s on path to building winner with Panthers BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SUNRISE, Fla. — Dale Tallon’s hands were not on the Stanley Cup during the Chicago Blackhawks’ victory celebration earlier this week. His fingerprints, one could argue that they were. Much of the groundwork for Chicago’s run as the NHL’s dominant team — three Cups in six years, in challenging salary-cap times no less — was laid by Tallon when he was the Blackhawks’ general manager. He’s tried to mimic the same philosophy as Florida’s GM, building through the draft, adding free agents when the time is right and swinging smart deals when opportunities knock. And with the Panthers set to host next week’s draft, Tallon is convinced that the long-struggling franchise is poised for a breakthrough — soon. “I don’t know any other way,” Tallon said. “That’s the way I built a team there and that’s the way we’re building a team here. And I think it works. So I feel confident that we’re headed in the right direction because there’s a lot of similiarities with what’s happened as far as the drafting and trades.” Florida has the No. 11 pick in the draft, which starts in its home arena on June 25. Tallon indicated that the Panthers will try to move up, and there’s signs that some teams at the top of the draft — outside of Edmonton and Buffalo, which will almost certainly take Connor McDavid and Jack Eichel No. 1 and No. 2 respectively — may be willing to hear offers. “I like to think outside the box,” Tallon said. “You never know what we’re going to do. It’s the fun part of the job, draft day, the things that can and will go on. But I like to think outside the box and take some risks, and so it’ll be interesting to see what happens.” The Blackhawks angered some players when they essentially forced Tallon out of the GM role in Chicago in 2009, though the team did engrave his name on the Stanley Cup and present him with a ring after winning the title in 2010. Tallon doesn’t seem to have too many lingering hard feelings; when Chicago hoisted the sport’s chalice this week, he enjoyed watching. After all, about half the players that Chicago used in this year’s playoffs were brought in while Tallon was with the Blackhawks — mostly through the draft, a couple more as free agents and in trades. “I’m happy for them,” Tallon said. “It’s great for hockey and makes me feel confident in the direction we’re headed. When I started there, I didn’t know what I was doing.” He’s got a much more clear idea of what to do now. The Panthers still aren’t great — they missed the playoffs yet again this season and somehow haven’t won a post-season series since 1996 — but it’s clear that they’re a team on the rise. There’s two future Hall of Famers in the locker room in winger Jaromir Jagr and goalie Roberto Luongo, a talented young core led by forwards Jonathan Huberdeau and Nick Bjugstad, and a Calder Trophy candidate in defenceman Aaron Ekblad. Most of the pieces needed to contend, Tallon thinks, are now in place. That means Florida can take a different approach entering the draft next week, finally being able to look at specific needs instead of just best-player-available. “Right now, we’re strong up the middle and the back end,” Tallon said. “So we’re going to focus on our needs and obviously speed and scoring are two things. If you saw the finals, there was a lot of speed. There wasn’t a lot of scoring, but there was a lot of chances. So that’s the important part for us, look at our depth chart and add pieces where we know we’re weak.” It’s getting harder to find those weak spots on the Panthers’ roster.

LONDON — Top-seeded Andy Murray stayed on course for a record-tying fourth title at Queen’s Club by defeating Fernando Verdasco 7-5, 6-4 in the second round on Thursday. Murray is attempting to join John McEnroe, Boris Becker, Andy Roddick and Lleyton Hewitt as a fourtime winner, and broke Verdasco for the second time to claim the first set. Verdasco wasted four break points in Murray’s first two service games in the second set, but the Spaniard was broken again in the final game when he hit a backhand wide on Murray’s second match point. “I thought it was fine,” Murray said of his performance. “I felt like I dug myself out of a few difficult situations when I was behind on my serve. Especially in the second set, I played some good points there, a few aces, like right in the right spots, a few onto the

line at big moments.” Defending champion Grigor Dimitrov lost to Gilles Muller of Luxembourg 6-4, 7-6 (5). The sixth-seeded Dimitrov won the title last year by defeating Feliciano Lopez, but has failed to reach a final since. He was bidding to successfully defend a title for the first time in his career. In a match of few rallies in which Muller had 19 aces and Dimitrov 15, the Bulgarian double-faulted at 5-4 in the first set, and made a forehand error to give Muller the only break of the match and the first set. Dimitrov saved a break point at 2-1 in the second with a backhand winner down the line, but Muller was stronger in the tiebreaker. “I don’t think I’m playing bad tennis at the moment,” Dimitrov said. “I just am doing a lot of good things on the court which really don’t discourage me to play. Of course, it’s a tough loss for me, but I give credit to Gilles. He played a good match.”

Looking to be baseball’s ‘Next One’ TREVOR GRETZKY HOPES TO REACH MAJORS WITH FATHER WAYNE’S HELP BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CLINTON, Iowa — Trevor Gretzky is known more for his iconic last name than his baseball career. But Trevor isn’t looking to escape his famous father’s shadow. He hopes “The Great One” can help him become “The Next One.” The 22-year-old son of retired NHL star Wayne Gretzky toils in relative anonymity as a left fielder for the Class A Burlington Bees in the Los Angeles Angels farm system. Beyond those famous seven letters atop the back of his jersey, Gretzky is just another kid hoping to beat the odds and reach the majors. To do so, Trevor leans heavily on the advice of Wayne, whose passion for baseball has helped fuel his son’s career. “You’d be surprised. He knows a lot about baseball. Pretty much everything I know about the game is because of him,” Trevor Gretzky said of his father, whose 894 goals are just one of a slew of NHL records he holds. That Trevor chose baseball over hockey isn’t a shock to the Gretzky family. In fact, Trevor described his father as a “huge baseball nut” who nudged his son toward his adopted country’s national pastime from an early age. Gretzky was born in Los Angeles just weeks before a season that ended with his father’s last trip to the Stanley Cup finals with the Kings. Trevor gave hockey a go in elementary school. But driving back and forth in the early morning for ice time proved tedious, so he followed his friends into football and baseball. With his father carting him back and forth to the batting cages on a near-daily basis, Trevor blossomed into a star at Oaks Christian in Westlake Village, California, and was selected by the Chicago Cubs in the seventh round of the 2011 amateur draft with the 219th pick. “My dad let me do what I wanted to do. He never forced me to do anything,” Gretzky said. But while his father took the NHL by storm as a wunderkind, winning the first of nine MVPs at just 19, Trevor has yet to emerge as an elite prospect. Trevor signed a minor league contract for a $375,000 bonus, hit .274 in rookie ball in 2012 and .306 in 49 at-bats with the full-season Class A Kane County Cougars two years ago. Trevor was then traded to Los Angeles — for another famous kid, Angels manager Mike Scioscia’s son, Matt — before 2014. He posted a paltry OPS of .520 and 47 strikeouts in 179 at-bats. The Angels are hoping that a full season in A ball will help Gretzky develop the consistency needed to advance to the next level. In fact, the Bees plan on giving Gretzky regular playing time in hopes of jumpstarting his career. Gretzky was batting .269 through 22 games as of Wednesday, despite a recent trip to the disabled list for what the Bees said was a minor knee issue. “He plays a good left field. Catches the ball, makes the plays. He’s got some power in his bat,” said Burlington manager Chad Tracy. “There’s a lot of things to like. Now he’s going to get a chance to show it here.” Gretzky is set to spend the season in the Midwest League, which includes teams in Fort Wayne, Indiana; Bowling Green, Kentucky; and Beliot, Wisconsin. His home for the summer, a town of roughly 25,000 on the west shores of the Mississippi River,

BANTAM AAA BASEBALL The Red Deer Bantam AAA Servus Credit Union Braves edged the Okotoks Dawgs Red 6-5 on Wednesday at Great Chief Park. Hayley Lalor got the start on the mound for Red Deer and lasted four innings, giving up five runs. Brett Porter relieved her to pitch three scoreless innings with three strikeouts and no walks.

couldn’t be more different from the glitz of Gretzky’s childhood. But Trevor said his parents listen to the radio play-by-play as much as they can, and he speaks to his parents after nearly every game. And if Trevor is fortunate enough to reach the majors, he said he hopes someday to wear No. 99 — the number Wayne made famous — as a tribute to the man who pushed him into baseball. “All pro sports are the same. You work hard, and the guys who work the hardest and play the hardest come out on top,” Trevor said. “He’s been telling me that since I was a little kid.” Cooper Jones doubled and singled while Hunter Leslie had two singles and Ben LeBlanc and RBI double. This follows a 1-2 weekend in St. Albert as they beat the Cardinals 4-3 in Saturday’s early game but lost the next two contests, 8-0 in Saturday’s late game and 7-6 on Sunday. This weekend they are in Spruce Grove for a three game series against the White Sox on Saturday and Sunday.

Adrian Peterson Canada’s Lemieux has stars on his side for first title bout finding a new normal as he returns to Vikings BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

LOOKS TO RETURN TO MVP FORM BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NFL

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — Adrian Peterson has been back on the football field, wearing that familiar purple No. 28 jersey and running through the plays that he ran last year before everything fell apart. After almost a full season away from the Minnesota Vikings, Peterson at first glance appeared to be restoring some normalcy his life. But after his child abuse case and discussions about his contract thrust fan criticism on him like he had never experienced before, getting back to “normal” may no longer be possible. “It’s normal, but of course it’s different,” Peterson said Thursday as the Vikings wrapped up a three-day minicamp. “I’m making it as normal as I can. Surrounding myself with people who love me and moving forward.” For the first seven years of his career, Peterson was the most popular athlete in the Twin Cities and one of the most bankable stars in the NFL. His easygoing demeanour combined with breathtaking skill to make him a marketer’s dream and one of the few running backs remaining with a legitimate shot at challenging Emmitt Smith’s career rushing record. That all started to unravel in the second week of last season, when allegations first surfaced that Peterson whipped his 4-year-old son with a wooden switch. The charges came in the wake of the NFL’s bungling of the Ray Rice domestic violence situation, and Peterson wound up missing the remaining 15 games while addressing the charges. Peterson lost his lucrative Nike endorsement deal, and he wore Adidas cleats at practice on Thursday. His representatives tangled with the league over the drawn-out process of disciplining him and then pushed for the Vikings to first trade him and then restructure his deal. When it became clear to Peterson that the Vikings were not going to trade him, he returned to the team for voluntary practices earlier this month and has spent the last three weeks trying to put things behind him and focus on the only NFL team for which he has played. He has received a warm welcome and staunch backing from coach Mike Zimmer and offensive coordinator Norv Turner, who have pledged to put him right back into his role as the featured running back. “I feel pretty good. It’s been good to just be out here with the fellas and get back in the swing of things, open my mind back to the playbook and what coach Turner is asking us to do,” Peterson said. “It’s been pleasant.” Zimmer has been in Peterson’s corner from the moment the allegations first surfaced and continues to sing Peterson’s praises both as a person and a player. “With one of the greatest running backs in the history of the game, it probably should change a lot,” Zimmer said. “I think that people will play us a little bit differently and I think that will help us in a lot of ways. We’re going to continue to do a lot of the things we do offensively, but we’re obviously going to use Adrian in ways that are productive for him, as well.” Peterson is 30, the age when many running backs start to experience a decline in production. Peterson has defied the odds before, coming back from a horrific knee injury to rush for over 2,000 yards and earn MVP honours in 2012, and he intends to do it again. “I think it’s all about just how you approach things,” Peterson said. “Of course being healthy is something that helps that as well. Having

that luck to have longevity. But ultimately having faith that I can do whatever I put my mind to.” Peterson and the rest of the Vikings left team headquarters on Thursday for about five weeks off before training camp begins at the end of July. The further away Peterson gets from the chaos of last year, and the closer he returns to the dynamic game-breaker he was before he left, the easier it will be for him to put all the troubles of the past year behind him. He said he is putting off a planned trip to Europe and a honeymoon with his new bride to prepare for his return. His life may never be the same as it was before, but he vowed that his play on the field will be. “Whatever they call me to do,” Peterson said, “I’ll be ready to do it.”

MONTREAL — Canada’s David Lemieux has some big-name backing going into his first shot at a world boxing title. Former welterweght star Oscar de la Hoya and ex-middleweight king Bernard Hopkins were both on hand Thursday to support Lemieux ahead of his showdown with French veteran Hassan N’Dam for the vacant International Boxing Federation middleweight title. Lemieux (33-2) and N’Dam (31-1) will meet Saturday night at the Bell Centre in a bout that promises high exposure in the U.S. on the Fox network, although it is on pay per view in Canada. De la Hoya, whose Golden Boy promotion company signed Lemieux in December, feels the flashy Montreal fighter has all it takes to be a boxing star and sees big bouts against top names if he can get past N’Dam, which is not a given even if Lemieux will fight in front of a home crowd with local referee Marlon B. Wright as third man in the ring. “He’s an exciting fighter and a very marketable fighter, the whole package,” said de la Hoya. “I believe David can go a long way because he’s willing to fight the very best. “He’s talking about unifying the titles, about fighting Triple G (WBA champion Gennady Golovkin), going against (Mexican star) Canelo Alvarez. This is the attitude I love. This is the type of fighter that we at Golden Boy love promoting. “But first things first. Saturday night, he has to win.” If he wins, it will have taken Lemieux nine years, as the old saying goes, to become an overnight sensation. In his first incarnation as a reckless youngster fro 2007 to 2011, Lemieux ran up a string of quick knockout wins until he was stopped in seven rounds by Marco Antonio

BOXING

Rubio. In his next bout, he lost a decision to over-the-hill fellow Montrealer Joachim Alcine. Then he split with long time trainer Russ Anber, whose attempts to introduce defence into Lemieux’s game fell on deaf ears. Under new trainer Marc Ramsay, he is somewhat more complete, but the 26-year-old still takes chances and gets hit more often than recommended. But his last outing, a 10-round TKO of Gabriel Rosato in New York, impressed many observers. “My defence is my offence,” Lemieux said. “I like to put on a good show. “Sometimes I take risks, but it’s always for the fans and they love it. I’m a crowd pleasing guy.” Added de la Hoya: “For a young man who has so many fights under his belt, he’s just getting started. He’s still learning and growing, which is very exciting because we haven’t seen the best of David Lemieux.” N’Dam, 31, and trainer Mous Ouicher were appalled at the purse (US$51,000 each) and having a ref from Montreal. But they are confident N’Dam has the experience and the all-around game to win. The Cameroon native has held the WBA and WBO middleweight belts, losing the latter in his only career defeat in 2012 to Peter Quillin. He has won his last four, all away from home, but hasn’t had an A-list of opponents. “He doesn’t underestimate Lemieux,” Ouicher said. “He didn’t get 33 wins by luck. But the only serious opponents he’s faced were Rubio and Alcine, and you know the results.” “The purse is an embarrassment to the sport for a world title fight. But the reason we accepted it was because we’re here for the belt.”

Rising star De Grasse gunning for glory SPRINTER LOOKING FOR WORLD PODIUM, CANADIAN RECORD BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Canadian sprint star Andre De Grasse has a summer of decisions ahead of him. The 20-year-old from Markham, Ont., who has made a meteoric rise up the world rankings this season, hasn’t decided whether he’ll return for his senior year at the University of Southern California or turn professional. His Canadian coach Tony Sharpe has been fielding calls from agents, and a source told The Canadian Press that De Grasse has been offered a seven-figure shoe deal. “I’m still discussing that with my coaches,” De Grasse said on a conference call Thursday. “I believe it’s best that he stay (in school) because he’s so new,” said Caryl Smith Gilbert, his USC coach. “But we did talk about it, the other side of things, and ultimately it’s up to him and what he wants to do.” De Grasse, who was first spotted by Sharpe at a high school meet three years ago in Toronto, has reeled off one eye-popping result after another this season. He broke the Canadian record in the 200, and became the first Canadian since Bruny Surin in 1999 to dip under the 10-second mark in the 100. And then last weekend in Eugene, Ore., he blew away the field in both the 100 and 200 metres — which were less than 45 minutes apart — at the NCAA championships. While his times of 9.75 and 19.58 were both wind-aided, being slight-

Southern California’s Andre De Grasse wins the 200meter race in the Pac-12 track and field competition in Los Angeles, May 16, 2015. De Grasse is on pace to be Canada’s greatest sprinter ever. At the Pac 12 conference championships last weekend, he broke the Canadian record in the 200 metres, and ran 9.97 in the 100, the fastest clocked by a Canadian in 16 years.

ly over the allowable 2.0 metres-persecond tailwind, they rank as the fastest wind-aided times in the world this year. Now he has his sights set on next month’s Pan American Games. No Canadian has ever run both a sub-10 and a sub-20, and — if the conditions are right and the wind is legal — De Grasse could it in the same meet. Then a month later he’ll go up against superstars Usain Bolt and Justin Gatlin in the 100 metres at the world championships in Beijing. “I feel like I can be competitive with these guys,” De Grasse said. “I’ve just got to put my mind to it and feel confident that I can go out there and beat these guys and I can’t be afraid of them just because they’re’e gold medallists. I have to go out there and try to make a name for myself as well.” He’ll also take aim at the 16-yearold Canadian record of 9.84, shared by Surin and Donovan Bailey. De Grasse won’t run the 200 at the world championships, coming at the end of a very long season. Smith Gilbert has taken a patient approach with the young star this season — which makes his times even more remarkable. The coach leaves the impression that the Canadian is nowhere near at his best. Because he’s young and relatively new to the sport, he trained at only trained at 70-75 per cent of what Smith Gilbert considers a full load, she said. In the gym, the focus was on lifting properly than lifting max weights. Moving up to heavier weights will improve

his power and strength coming out of the blocks. Despite all his success, Smith Gilbert said De Grasse’s persona hasn’t changed at all. “Andre drives me nuts, he has not changed,” she said. “He’s still way too laid back, but I like that, that’s what makes him not get so tense all the time.” She hasn’t changed her approach to coaching him. “I’m still going to yell at him, and I’m still going to tell him he’s slow,” the coach said, laughing. “I kinda always joke with him and say ’That was the worst 9.75 I’ve ever seen.’ “I never let him believe it was the perfect race or the best race, because I just believe that there’s always something he could do better and you always strive for excellence. That takes the pressure off of him if I tell him

’That wasn’t that fast, you can do this.’ That makes him feel better and we can keep moving forward.” De Grasse, who is still taking classes and so plans to stay and train in Los Angeles for the summer, said his fast performances last weekend were slow to sink in. “My phone is still blowing up,” he said. “And honestly I was just in a lot of shock, I was looking at the times, and was like ‘Wow, that’s unbelievable.’ I know coach Caryl told me I could run that time, but at the same time, I was like ‘Wow’ I still didn’t believe it. I thought I was in the dream, it felt unreal. “I’m just happy I got off the double and I’m hoping that I can do something like that again, something spectacular.” Bolt holds the world records in both the 100 (9.58) and 200 (19.19).

Ashley Halsey of Sylvan Lake is the NASCAR Rookie of the Year for Alberta. ‘Everyone will crash sometime,’ she says. In December, she received a lightup crystal trophy in Charlotte, N.C., where she got to drive around a NASCAR track in American professional racer Jeff Gordon’s car. “It was really cool. There were so many people there and a lot more girls than I was expecting,” she recalled. More women are stock car racing since the success of U.S. professional NASCAR driver Danica Patrick. Halsey, who competes against three other females in her category, said she hasn’t received any negative comments from male racers. But a four-time track champion who started competing eight

years ago told her she did get some heat in the early days for being a “girl” racer. Halsey is glad times have changed — at least at the track. At school, she still occasionally hears cracks from some male peers about women drivers. Many classmates didn’t really understand what she meant about racing until she brought her stock car to school one day. “It was a big surprise, apparently,” she said. “A lot of people just knew it was something I did.” Her hobby is expensive — a car alone costs about $15,000 and each race

Teenage robber admits role BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF The teenage boy who acted as lookout for a string of armed robberies in Blackfalds last winter pleaded guilty on Thursday to his role. The 17-year-old, who can’t be named because of provisions in the Canada Youth Justice Act, pleaded guilty to two charges robbery, plus possession of stolen property from an incident separate from the armed robbery. Prosecutor Ann MacDonald told Judge Jim Hunter that on Nov. 17, 2014, the youth was at home with two other youths and they were talking about committing a robbery in Blackfalds. The youth was the lookout while

one of the other youths, also aged 17, entered the Pony Express Liquor Store armed with an airsoft pellet gun and demanded money. Immediately after, the same boy went to the Pizza King not far from the Pony Express Liquor Store and robbed it. At that point, the youth acting as lookout left the scene. In total, court was told that the second teen stole more than $1,000 from the two stores that evening. The lookout youth was given $60 for his role in the robberies. The youth who committed the robbery pleaded guilty in April to eight armed robberies in Red Deer and Blackfalds that ended with his arrest in February. He will be sentence in July in Red Deer youth court and is in

custody. On Feb. 14, Lacombe police received a report of a stolen vehicle. Two officers on patrol found the vehicle and stopped it. The 17-year-old who was the lookout from the November robbery was driving. Represented by defence counsel Greg Gordon, the youth waived his right to a pre-sentence report. MacDonald made the request for the development of such a report, saying that although it was a first offence for the youth, it is the type of offence that is a gateway to jail time. Hunter ordered the report and would not sentence the youth on Thursday. He will return to Red Deer court on July 14 for his sentencing hearing. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com

Sexual touching bid puts teen on probation BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF Probation has been ordered for a young man convicted of inviting a fouryear-old to touch his genitalia. The now 18-year-old pleaded guilty to one count of invitation to sexual touching on Thursday in Red Deer

youth court before Judge Jim Hunter. Because he was 17 at the time of the offence, he was tried in youth court and can’t be named under provisions of the Canada Youth Justice Act. In August 2014, he lived with his adoptive parents in Red Deer and their biological son, who was four. The teen asked to see the four-yearold’s penis and showed him his. Then

he tried to get the four-year-old to touch his penis. The four-year-old’s father read a victim impact statement saying the incident had a huge emotional impact on the family and he was worried about the effect it would have on his fouryear-old son.

The graduating student plans to attend Red Deer College in the fall to study business. She said her future in racing will depend on where her career takes her. Halsey will next compete at Wetaskiwin’s Edmonton International Raceway from 5:30 p.m. on July 10. Her Northwind racing team includes drivers Ryan Knowles, 17, of Edmonton and Thomas Davidson, 16, of Red Deer. lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

CITY COUNCIL

SPCA seeks cut in loan rate The Red Deer and District SPCA is asking the city to reduce the interest rate on its $1-million loan. The request will be up for Red Deer city council debate on Monday. The SPCA borrowed the money in 2007 for a new facility. A total of $923,155 is outstanding on the loan. The SPCA wants the interest rate reduced to 3.6 per cent from the current rate of 5.058 per cent. Council will consider a $1.3-million request from Public Works for its fleet replacement and growth budgets. Staff say the budgets are about 10 per cent short due to unforeseen economic drivers, including the devalued Canadian dollar. City administration say there are risks if they wait to purchase all the items in the allocated budget schedule. A naming request for the pond at Heritage Ranch will also he considered. A local branch of Trout Unlimited wants to name the pond after a local angler Barry Mitchell, who dedicated his life to water conservation.

Ashley Halsey lives for the adrenalin rush she gets from racing her super stock car around the Edmonton International Raceway. Even a crash didn’t dent the enthusiasm of the 18-year-old Notre Dame High School student, who twice won NASCAR Rookie of the Year for Alberta. The Sylvan Lake teenager walked away from a completely totalled vehicle last summer, and only got emotional after her dad gave her a hug in the pit. “I hit the wall with the passenger side of my car, then it swung around and hit on the driver’s side,” she recalled. Despite needing therapy for her neck and upper back, she’s back in the driver’s seat of a new late-model super stock car with a Camaro body and GMC 602 crate engine for this racing season. “It happens. Everyone will crash sometime,” reasoned the young racer, who began competing just a couple of months after earning her driver’s licence at age 16. While her friends were still getting their road bearings, she was hitting speeds of 103 km/h at the NASCARsanctioned raceway in Wetaskiwin. She recalled, “My parents had friends whose son was doing it, so my dad said, ‘Want to try it out?’ ” Her mother, Carrie, wasn’t thrilled, but her father, NASCAR fan Kevin Halsey, “was all for it” and encouraged her to give it a shot. “After my first race, one of his friends said, ‘You finally got your son!’ ” said Ashley Halsey, one of two daughters in the family. She believes racing has brought her and her father closer. “It’s something me and my dad can do together. ... My parents have never stood in the way of my doing anything and as a result, our relationship has thrived.” At first, she found it physically and mentally demanding. With constantly switching foot pedals to vary speed, steering hard left around turns and tensing from close calls as competing vehicles dodge around the track, Halsey needed to develop her core body strength. A physical trainer helped her achieve this. She developed stamina and skills practising on Thursday nights for races that happen two or three weekends a month until September. It wasn’t long before she discovered her talent; Halsey won NASCAR Rookie of the Year for Alberta in the feature category in 2013 and the super stock car category in 2014.

The Crown is seeking an adult sentence for the now 19-year-old accused if he is convicted. He will appear in Red Deer Court of Queen’s Bench on July 6 for his arraignment, setting time for his trial.

Clarification: seniors housing costs source An A1 article in Thursday’s Advocate suggested Piper Creek Foundation executive director Geoff Olson was the source of an estimate of private seniors care rents hitting around $30,000 a year. Olson said the foundation does not comment on other providers’ rents but can say that seniors often need an annual income of $30,000 to afford many private seniors housing options. The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation Seniors’ Housing Report estimated the average rent in Alberta for bachelor and private rooms where at least one meal is included in most units rose this year to $2,515 per month or $30,180 a year.

C3 Frame It adding arts and crafts

FRIDAY, JUNE 19, 2015

BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF Whimsical art dolls, locally-made jewelry and hand-built ceramic and glass items are making their way into Red Deer’s The Frame-It Store. Shop owners Matt Gould and his life and business partner Keith McPhedran are diversifying their custom-framing business by opening an in-store Makers’ Emporium. “Fine craft and art from near and far” is now selling in the retail outlet in the downtown Coop strip mall. “The goal is to offer framing, plus,” said Gould. As a textile artist himself, he felt it made sense to dedicate some store space to a commercial gallery that gives talented local and provincial artists more exposure, as well as a place to sell their creations. As well as the custom framing mainstay of the business, one-of-a-kind items will be sold in the emporium, ranging from hand-painted and embroidered art dolls made by Charity Beasley and Kristin Guttridge of Red Deer and Innisfail, to intricately crafted silver jewelry by Red Deer’s Candice Meyer. Local glass artist Darren Petersen, ceramicists Dawn Detarando and Brian McArthur, and painter Ruth Moore will also have items displayed for purchase on commission, along with arty objects from across Alberta and B.C. Small felt animals, organically dyed silk scarves, monster-motif change purses, hand-built wooden boxes, and ceramic sculptures are all part of the eclectic mix — as are framed examples of Gould’s own textile art. Gould’s award-winning embroidery-based works have been displayed throughout Canada, including the Red Deer Museum and Art Gallery. In switching out the mass-market prints that used to hang in the store that he and McPhedran purchased in 2012, “I was looking for work that’s ... hand-created, because what’s the point of bring in stuff that’s made in China, or getting stuff that sells in Wal-Mart?” said Gould, who went through the Alberta Craft Council for artist contacts. He believes original art he’s brought in will give people a lot of bang for their buck, but it’s “an education process” to get members of the public to appreciate the value of the painstaking creation process. The Frame-It Store, with three longtime staffers, opened in 1981. Initially, store employees helped customers frame their own prints. But the concept was abandoned after staff found they were spending as much time supervising as it took to do the framing

Matt Gould, owner of the Frame It Store in the Co-op Shopping Centre in downtown Red Deer is transforming some of the business into a gallery for local artists to exhibit their work. themselves. Gould was a regular customer who became the shop’s third owner three years ago. He feels his biggest challenge is the same one faced by many small businesses — stimulating business in a slower economy. Framing is a discretionary purchase, as is art, but Gould feels the combination will be a winning fit at

The Frame-It Store. “We’re so happy for Red Deer to have this kind of gallery installation available. We’ve been getting a lot of positive feedback.” An open house will be held from 4 to 7 p.m. on Thursday, June 25, to launch the Makers’ Emporium, with some of the artists in attendance. lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

Hudsons Canada’s Pub coming to downtown Red Deer

California ruling that drivers are employees could change Uber’s model BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

BY MARY-ANN BARR RED DEER ADVOCATE

TORONTO — A ruling from a California labour board that Uber drivers are employees of the company and not self-employed contractors sets a precedent that could spell trouble for the ride-sharing service’s Canadian operations. The California Labor Commission said Wednesday in a non-binding decision that the San Francisco-based Uber Technologies Inc. was involved in “every aspect of the operation” of its ride-hailing service, opening the door for the company to eventually begin paying its drivers employee benefits such as vacation pay. Harry Ghadban, a national representative for Unifor and former taxi driver, says the California decision, though it carries no weight in Canada, shows a major flaw in Uber’s business model. Uber has vociferously argued that it merely acts as a facilitator for its drivers, who pick up fares through the company’s smartphone app and work on their own schedule. On its website, the company flatly declares that it is not a transportation provider. Ghadban argues that Uber is simply a taxi company with more sophisticated software. “The decision says they’re a transportation company and therefore should be abiding by the rules and regulations set out for the taxi industry,” he added. The company’s insistence that its drivers are independent contractors is a ploy to avoid having to pay the costs associated with running a taxi service, including the extended insurance required by most jurisdictions and other employment benefits, he said. In a statement, Uber downplayed the impact of the ruling, pointing out that it is non-binding and only applies to a single driver. “Indeed, it is contrary to a previous ruling by the same commission, which concluded in 2012 that the

A new pub and outdoor patio is planned for one of Red Deer’s most visible downtown locations. Hudsons Canada’s Pub will be located on the main level of the 12-storey Executive Place building at 4900 50th St. The City of Red Deer’s Municipal Planning Commission approved the development permit on Wednesday. Hudsons now needs to apply for building permits. A spokesman for the company preferred to comment on details when all the permits are acquired. Hudsons has a number of pub locations in Western Canada, including five in Edmonton, two in Calgary, and one each in Lethbridge and Saskatoon. The Red Deer location will be almost 5,457 square feet, with the patio about 500 square feet, to be located along 49th Avenue. Access to the pub will be from Ross Street. While there is another drinking establishment nearby (The Olive), the MPC analysis states: “Hudsons would be a welcome addition to the downtown, providing increased activity within the area with the proposed patio and large, unobstructed windows. There will be additional lighting at the exterior.” The pub will have an occupancy load of 234 people. It will have an inhouse DJ, with additional live entertainment on special occasions. The new watering hole is expected to open in midDecember or January. It complies with both the Municipal Development Plan and the Greater Downtown Action Plan. There are two conditions attached to the permit — a construction fire safety plan must be submitted, and that there be no successful appeal against the decision. No one opposed the permit during the MPC meeting. barr@reddeeradvocate.com

BRIEF Quebec will end provincial tampon tax QUEBEC — The Quebec government says it will follow the federal government and end its tax on feminine hygiene products. The federal government announced earlier this year that feminine hygiene-products would be exempt from the goods and services tax. Quebec Finance Minister Carlos Leitao said his government followed suit so taxpayers aren’t penalized with different rules in Quebec Leitao’s office says starting July 1 feminine hygiene products will be free of the federal Goods and Services Tax and the provincial Quebec sales tax. The federal NDP claimed victory in the tampon tax file as several New Democrat MPs had been championing the cause for some time.

The ride-sharing app Uber is shown on a smartphone in Montreal, Thursday, May 14, 2015.

Five other states have come to a similar conclusion as the 2012 ruling, the company added. In Canada, Uber has courted controversy by skirting the regulations on taxi services, claiming that it has less responsibility for insurance and benefits than a traditional employer. Uber has spread across Canada by focusing on seamless transactions through its mobile application and by using its low-cost model to undercut taxi prices. The company’s service has divided opinion around the world. of people on employment insurance, according to Statistics Canada data released Thursday. The province saw a 10.7 per cent jump in number of EI beneficiaries in the month, bringing the total number of Albertans on EI to 43,900. The climb marks the sixth month in a row that Alberta has seen an increase as the big fall oil prices from a year ago continues to hurt the economy. Since October, 14,900 more people have started receiving benefits in the province — an increase of 50 per cent. Nationally, the number of people on EI climbed 0.5 per cent in April to 521,300. British Columbia and Saskatchewan also saw increases in beneficiaries, while Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland and Labrador, Manitoba and New Brunswick saw numbers drop. Statistics Canada said there was “little change” in Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia.

Bombardier denies role in keeping Russian off sanctions list MONTREAL — Canadian transportation giant Bombardier says it played no role in keeping the boss of Russian Railways off Canada’s sanctions list. “We’re in constant discussions with the Canadian government on our business relationships...but we don’t have any role in who goes on the list or who

doesn’t go on the list,” said John Paul Macdonald, senior vice-president, human resources and public affairs. Vladimir Yakunin, a former United Nations diplomat turned business tycoon, suggested Wednesday that his close business relationships, notably with Bombardier chairman Pierre Beaudoin, may have helped to shield him from Canada’s list. “I suppose Canadians are not the same masochists, like, you know, Europeans,” he told The Canadian Press at an event ahead of the St. Petersburg Economic Forum. The railways head was blacklisted last year by the U.S. as part of the Obama administration’s widening efforts to retaliate for Russia’s annexation of Crimea last year. But Macdonald noted Yakunin isn’t included on the EU sanctions list. He is one of at least two Russian businessmen with close ties to President Vladimir Putin who have been excluded from Canada’s blacklist. The other is Igor Sechin, head of Russia’s state-owned energy company Rosneft, which owns about 30 per cent of an Exxon Mobil Corp. oilfield in Alberta. Macdonald said Bombardier has a very good business relationship with Russian Railways, its longstanding joint venture partner in producing railway signals. But he declined to comment on Yakunin’s description of Beaudoin as “family.”

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER â€” Developers of a controversial billion-dollar ski resort that has been decades in the making will have â€œto start from scratch,â€? said British Columbiaâ€™s environment minister. The provincial government announced Thursday that the environmental assessment certificate for Jumbo Glacier Resort had expired. The resort, which has been repeatedly challenged in court by First Nations and environmental groups, received its first environmental certificate in 2004. The certificate was extended in 2009, with an expiry date of Oct. 12, 2014, but the extension document stated all approved projects must be â€œsubstantially startedâ€? under provincial law within the time limit set

out, something that Environment Minister Mary Polak said just hasnâ€™t happened. â€œIn making my decision, I had focused on the physical activities that had taken place at the project site,â€? said Polak. â€œWhile it is clear that some construction has started, I was not convinced that the physical activity undertaken as of Oct. 12, 2014, meets the threshold of a substantially started project.â€? Resort spokesman Tommaso Oberti, vice-president of the Pheidias Group, said in an emailed statement that directors are reviewing the ministerâ€™s decision but can take a number of courses of action. A document listing Polakâ€™s reasons stated the developers had undertaken nine projects on the site as of Oct. 12, 2014.

When it comes to economy, you may never really know

HELLO ROBO

EXPERT ADVICE NOT PERFECT BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — With an ocean of available economic data out there, one can be left seasick trying to get a handle on all the bobbing numbers designed to explain the health of the economy. Rather than attempting to follow the choppy monthly stats, experts recommend stepping back to examine more reliable, longer-term readings on key indicators like jobs, gross domestic product and inflation. Others suggest piecing together the many economic measures to come up with a reading, almost like a “jigsaw puzzle.” But even then, they warn, you may never really know. Canadians will begin scrutinizing the state of the economy in the leadup to the fall election when the issue once again emerges as a crucial ballot-box concern. The economy has struggled in recent months, particularly after a disappointing stretch to start 2015 that was blamed on weaker-than-expected U.S. demand, the oil-price collapse and the failure of some sectors to pick up the slack. Experts, including Bank of Canada governor Stephen Poloz, have predicted the economy will bounce back later this year. But trying to figure out how the economy is actually faring by monitoring the swings in monthly data — from good news to bad news and back again — can be a very difficult task. For example, Canada’s employment numbers have see-sawed between gains and losses each month from December to May. To get a better grip on the economy, a professor at Ottawa’s Carleton University recommends focusing on annual data rather than monthly or even quarterly numbers. “It evens out the hiccups,” Ian Lee, who teaches at the Sprott School of Business, said of seeking out longerterm figures. For his students, Lee says he illustrates how tricky it is to read the ever-volatile economic data by comparing it to the more-precise field of demography, which studies social statistics. Lee notes, for example, how demographers can predict the average life expectancy of a man and woman in Canada with remarkable accuracy. “The economy, by contrast, is

precisely the opposite,” Lee said. “It’s very badly behaved because you get extraordinary variability.” He said most economic indicators, such as Statistics Canada’s labour force survey, are based on polls — which can be unreliable. To overcome some of the deficiencies of a single dataset, economists are left to build a mosaic out of numerous economic indicators. “There’s no single measure that’s going to tell you the whole picture,” said Douglas Porter, BMO’s chief economist. “It really is almost like a jigsaw puzzle where you have to put all the pieces together and even then you might not get a true picture.” There is one reading, however, that Porter believes does a decent — though imperfect — job of taking the pulse of the economy: the unemployment rate. Porter said it’s worth watching to see if the jobless rate falls or rises as well as how its status compares to historic levels. The most-recent reading of Canada’s unemployment rate was 6.8 per cent in May. Over the last five years, it has gradually fallen from above 8.0 per cent, a level it reached after soaring during the recession. Since September, the rate has hovered just under 7.0 per cent, struggling to make headway. In a truly robust economy, Porter said, he’d expect the unemployment rate to still be falling. “I think that’s about right,” Porter said of how the rate reflects the state of the overall economy. “The economy is still growing, just enough to employ the new people who are entering the labour force, but no better than that.” And what about all those monthly numbers that have been lurching back and forth? Porter said different sectors — and segments of industries — grow at different paces, while others are known to move in opposite directions. “I would say unless the economy is absolutely on fire or, on the contrary, on the deepest steps of despair, you’re always going to get contradictions between indicators at any time.”

NEB orders tests on Line 9B before start up ENBRIDGE Mercier said she doesn’t know how long it will take to do the tests, but “it might be a question of a few days to a few weeks.” The NEB has also imposed more conditions on the project once it starts up, such as biweekly ground patrols and quarterly integrity testing during the first two years of operation. Enbridge is figuring out its next steps, said spokesman Graham White. “Enbridge is reviewing this and the other conditions outlined in the decision to determine what is required for compliance, scope of work and timelines,” he said in an emailed statement. “Although conditions must be met before the pipeline can be operated, the granting of the Leave to Open is an acknowledgment of the thorough, detailed engineering analysis and real actions on safety and integrity that Enbridge has invested in this project over the past three years.” Last October, as work on the pipeline was wrapping up, the regulator raised concerns about the placement of shut-off valves in relation to water crossings. In February, the board said it was satisfied with Enbridge’s approach. Two Quebec refiners eager to have western crude shipped their way — Suncor (TSX:SU) and Valero — have recently written to the NEB asking why the line has not yet been allowed to start up. “We take the time that’s necessary to do

the proper analysis, ask the good questions and get the result that we want before we allow the pipeline to go on,” said Mercier. Adam Scott, with Environmental Defence, said the NEB’s requirements are a “step in the right direction,” but fall short. ”The entire pipeline is the same age and the same design. The National Energy Board should require hydrostatic testing along the entire route of this 40-year old pipe to ensure the safety of all of waterways and communities along the line. And the results of this testing should be made public.”

CALGARY — The National Energy Board isn’t ready to let Enbridge start shipping crude to Quebec refineries just yet. The federal watchdog granted Enbridge (TSX:ENB) “leave to open” its Line 9B pipeline between southern Ontario and Quebec on Thursday. But before operations can begin, Enbridge must do hydrostatic testing along three densely populated segments — near Hilton, Ont.; Kingston and Brockville, Ont., and Mirabel, Que. The tests involve filling the pipe with water at much higher than its usual operating pressure to ensure the pipe is strong enough and won’t burst. The results must be provided to and approved by the NEB. It’s the latest delay for a pipeline Enbridge had been aiming to start up last fall. The original Line 9 has been in the ground for around four decades, but Enbridge has reconfigured it to ship greater volumes and flow crude eastward rather than westward. That way, Quebec refineries can have access to domestic crude, rather than having to rely on imports. NEB vice-chair Lyne Mercier said hydrostatic testing isn’t normally required on existing pipelines. “But given the fact that this pipeline is situated in a urban area and that if there would be a leak, it would be affecting lots of people, we wanted to have an additional degree of confidence,” she said.

It’s to not criticize those who don’t.” Leila Noelliste, creator and editor of the hair site BlackGirlLongHair, posted a display of women showing off their growth and sees no downside. “Much of what women consider beautiful is based on standards set by men, so it’s refreshing to witness a woman-centred beauty movement,” she said. Angelique Serrano, beauty director for InStyle magazine, said there’s clearly no one right way to approach the pits, on feminist, beauty or hygiene grounds. The magazine offered a tutorial on its website late last year on how to achieve neon Rainbow Brite tints with bleach and Manic Panic dye after the hashtag “dyedpits” popped up on Twitter and Instagram. “With the help of social media, the conversation is reaching a new level,” she said. “People are sharing their personal choices in a public way.” Maria Del Russo, a beauty editor for the millennial-focused fashion, style and beauty site Refinery29, said expression of identity is key in the mix. “I think the reason more and more women are using social media to show off their body hair choices is connectedness.

NEW YORK — A new line of Barbie dolls has the 56-year-old fashionista rocking flat shoes for the first time. Toymaker Mattel rolled out more diverse versions of the doll from January through last week, aimed at allowing Barbie to better represent the world. There are 23 new Fashionista Barbies featuring 14 different facial looks, eight skin tones, 18 eye colours, 22 hair styles and 23 hair colours. The switch from heels to flats is an effort to accessorize street styles Barbie wears in the new line, Mattel said. Some new career-oriented Barbies also come with both flats and heels. Barbie has been on tip toes to accommodate high heels since her introduction in 1959.

NEW YORK — On social media and red carpets, from New York to China, hairy underarms are having a mainstream moment. Women are proudly showing off their growth on Instagram and YouTube, and it’s not just Miley Cyrus anymore. Jemima Kirke of “Girls” flashed her fair-colored au naturel look — earning some cringes — at the June 1 CFDA awards, one of the top fashion events of the year. On Sina Weibo, a popular microblogging site in China, the women’s rights activist known as Xiao Meili held an “Armpit Hair Competition,” complete with prizes that included condoms and a vibrator, to protest societal pressure on women to shave under there. Her effort earned more than 1.7 million hits. “In the past two decades, there have been a lot of commercials and advertising for hair removal cream and laser removal of hair that have talked about women needing to shave their underarm hair and that the armpit area should be clean,” said the 25-year-old Xiao, whose real name is Xiao Yue. “My mother’s generation didn’t care about that, but now it has become a headache for women in the summer as they have to consider whether to shave that area or not,” she said. Love it or hate it, not shaving under the arms has morphed into a call to action for other women as well who are looking to be free of the constraint or choose for themselves without ridicule. Mom Katherine Anne True, a registered nurse in Raynham, Massachusetts, recently showed off her underarm growth on Instagram, though she has not joined others there who sport hair they’ve dyed blue and other festive colours. “I started it a few months ago before I knew it was a trend,” said True, 30. At first, it was just for fun. Then the extra hair was met by cringes from her 5-year-old daughter and 9-year-old niece. “When the girls told me I ’had to shave those’ and were grossed out it was kind of startling that these gender stereotypes were already so ingrained

at these ages,” True said. “I do it, or rather don’t do it, for me but also as a reminder to my daughter that it’s up to the individual what we decide to do with our bodies.” Her daughter is now unfazed. Her niece still tells her to shave. Some celebrities have been sporting armpit hair forever. Lady Gaga used little shaggy turquoise wigs under her arms in 2011 while performing at the Much Music Awards to match the same colour in wigs for her head and an over-the-clothes crotch piece. Julia Roberts sported the grown-out look in 1999 at the London premiere of “Notting Hill.” In parts of Europe and elsewhere around the world, it’s never been about shorn. And until the rise of razors marketed specifically to women, along with sleeveless fashion at the turn of the 20th century, hair was far more there in the United States, crossing over in more recent decades from a music fest-earth mother ideal of femininity. Photographer Ben Hopper in London has challenged the shorn mainstream in an online photo project he calls “Natural Beauty.” His collection of images includes Madonna and Roberts in full growth, along with models and everyday women through the decades. There’s a postcard from around 1920 portraying a young woman with crimped hair in a frilly dress provocatively flaunting bushy underarms. With lady marketing of razors, he explained, hair-free pits soon became the norm. Xiao said in China, pressure to shave has come from the West. “Women’s underarm shaving in China only has about 20 years of history and that is because of advertising, which has changed people’s minds,” she said. Xiao is known for eye-catching protests, and three of her contest participants were among five women’s rights activists whose detentions in March received worldwide attention. In 2013, she shaved her head to protest the way women have to get higher scores than men to be admitted to some university courses. “To shave or not is up to the woman,” she said. “The purpose of this contest is not to call on people not to

Pluto just four weeks, 32 million km away for NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft is at Pluto’s doorstep, following an incredible journey of nine years and three billion miles (4.83-billion km). Four weeks from Tuesday — on July 14 — New Horizons will make its closest approach to Pluto. The spacecraft will fly within 7,750 miles, inside the orbits of Pluto’s five known moons. That’s the approximate distance between Seattle and Sydney. It will be the first spacecraft to explore the tiny, icy world once considered a full-fledged planet. As of Tuesday, New Horizons was just over 20 million miles (32.2 million km) from Pluto. That’s closer than Earth is to neighbour Venus, at their closest point. Flight controllers fired a thruster on the spacecraft over the weekend to fine-tune its path. “This is one charged-up team,” principal investigator Alan Stern of the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colorado said last week. “They know that they’re getting to do something very special because nothing like this has happened” since Voyager 2’s flyby of Neptune in 1989. NASA’s first interplanetary success was at Venus, with Mariner 2 in 1962. Stern added: “We’re going to turn a point of light into a planet and its moons overnight in the next month.”

The Johns Hopkins University’s Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland, is operating the spacecraft for NASA. The lab also designed and built the relatively lightweight craft, about the size of a baby grand piano. It carries seven science instruments; the cameras have been photographing the planet since January. The latest pictures, taken at the end of May and beginning of June, show large dark regions toward the bottom of Pluto. Scientists are eager to learn the size and shape of these dark spots, as well as their exact location. Images will keep improving with every step closer to Pluto. “It’s very fascinating to see this level of detail,” deputy project scientist Cathy Olkin said during an update broadcast Tuesday. Pluto was discovered by the late American astronomer Clyde Tombaugh in 1930. Its moons, the fifth unmasked as recently as 2012, also bear names related to the mythological underworld: big moon Charon and mini-moons Nix, Hydra, Kerberos and Styx. More moons could be out there. “We’re going to write the textbook. We know very little about the Pluto system now,” Stern said. “It’s really a mission of raw exploration, flying into the unknown to see what’s there.” New Horizons’ $700 million mission began with a 2006 launch from Cape Canaveral, Florida.

Massachusetts has found a way to keep teen drivers from nodding off behind the wheel BY LENNY BERNSTEIN ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES It’s counter-intuitive, but teenagers have a lot more trouble staying awake at the wheel than older people. As we grow older, the mechanism that helps us quickly shut down and fall asleep doesn’t work as well, but in the young, it’s still quite powerful. That makes teens particularly susceptible to drowsy driving. “In young people, when sleep pressure becomes high, the sleep switch is working so well,” said Charles Czeisler, chief of the division of sleep and circadian disorders at Brigham and Women’s hospital in Boston. “Young people are more vulnerable. It will seize control, and people will sail off the side of the road and into a telephone pole.” So after an Army Reserve major was killed a week before his 2002 wedding by a teenaged driver who had fallen asleep at the wheel, Massachusetts turned to sleep scientists like Czeisler for a solution. Realizing that teens don’t believe in their own mortality, want to drive as soon as they can and are often sleepdeprived, the state passed a law in 2007 threatening them with one of the worst penalties a new driver could imagine: immediate license suspension for breaking the driving curfew. Any “junior” driver_ meaning anyone ages 16 ½ to 17 — caught driving between 12:30 a.m and 5 a.m. would have his license suspended for 60 days. A second offense would result in 180 days without a license and a third would cost a year without driving privileges. Previously, the penalties had been a maximum $35 fine for a first offense and a $75 to $100 fine for any after that. The result, Czeisler and a team of researchers reported this week, has been a dramatic reduction in crashes involving 16- and 17-year-old drivers. The overall crash rate for that age group declined 19.1 percent when compared with drivers older than 20

in the five years after the law was implemented, according to their study. The nighttime accident rate declined 28.8 percent more, and the rate of accidents that were fatal or incapacitated someone dropped 39.8 percent more. The study was published in the June issue of the journal Health Affairs. “Our findings suggest that driving laws that eliminate or effectively deter unsupervised night driving by people younger than eighteen can achieve substantial reductions in motor vehicle crashes,” they wrote. “This change is likely driven by mitigating risks posed by sleepiness-related impairment, risktaking behaviors, and driving alone or driving with young passengers.” The new law also includes driver education programs that demonstrate how serious drowsy driving can be for teens. “You want to have them understand that staying awake for 24 hours has as much impact as [driving with a blood alcohol of] .10,” Czeisler said. In many states, the legal limit for alcohol impairment is .08. Drinking coffee or energy drinks don’t really help, he said, because previous research shows that it tends to make people push their drowsiness limits. Drowsy driving in general may be the next frontier of highway safety, considering the progress made in reducing drunk driving through tougher laws and public campaigns. In surveys, 8 million drivers admit to falling asleep at the wheel at least once a month and 56 million admit to driving while drowsy each month, Czeisler said. Sleepiness is blamed for 400,000 to 1 million crashes annually, 6,400 deaths and 55,000 debilitating injuries. The study results also show that the rate of drowsy driving accidents declined by a much smaller amount among 18- and 19-year-olds, indicating that states might want to consider extending some form of control on that age group, Czeisler said. “When they become 18, the crash rate just jumps right back up,” he said. “ . . . That’s another area ripe for intervention.”

BY MATT MCFARLAND ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES Earlier this month in London, Mustafa Suleyman had some news to share. Speaking at a machine learning event held by the investment firm Playfair Capital, he opted to display it in a giant red font on the screen behind him. This was really something — Google has replaced 60 handcrafted rule-based systems with deep learning networks. Handcrafted what? Are we talking about a TV network? And who is this Mustafa guy? If your eyes are glazing over — or you just don’t have a clue why Suleyman’s revelation was significant — you’re not alone. For better or (almost certainly) worse, most of us don’t have any idea what’s going on under the hood of our digital toys. Millions of Facebook users don’t know they’re using the Internet. Half of Americans don’t even know what a privacy policy is. The majority of Americans don’t know Moore’s Law, which explains the maddening pace of tech development in our lifetimes. Although I’ve found no study looking at how many people grasp machine learning and deep learning networks, it’s sure to be depressingly low. Of course this is complex, abstract stuff being developed by braniacs. Suleyman co-founded his start-up — which Google bought — with a guy who was a child chess prodigy. Schools generally aren’t requiring students to take computer science classes, and that damages the average Joe’s chance to be tech literate. Thankfully, Mario is here to help. Over the weekend, YouTube publisher SethBling released a short video in which a computer teaches itself to beat a level of Super Mario World. It’s a wonderful explanation of machine learning.

Medical pot laws not tempting teens LARGE STUDY SAYS U.S. MEDICAL MARIJUANA LAWS DON’T FOSTER TEEN USE BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Passing a medical marijuana law does not lead to increased use of the drug by teenagers in that jurisdiction, concludes a new study that looked at self-reported use of pot among more than one million adolescents from 48 U.S. states from 1991 to 2014. The research was applauded by other social scientists for its size and strength. And the authors themselves suggested it is time for the debate over how to keep adolescents from using marijuana at an early age to move on to target on other factors. “Concerns that increased adolescent marijuana use is an unintended effect of state medical marijuana laws seem unfounded. In view of the potential for harm from early use, other factors influencing wide segments of the population need to be investigated,” the authors wrote. The study is published in the journal Lancet Psychiatry. The work was led by Prof. Deborah Hasin of the Mailman School of Public Health, at New York City’s Columbia University. The researchers analyzed nearly a quarter-century’s worth of data from a nationally administered survey American teenagers complete in Grades 8, 10 and 12. Their dataset included information provided by 1,098,270 adolescents. During the time studied, 21 of the 48 states that administer the survey passed medical marijuana laws. The researchers compared teen marijuana use in states with and without legislation, but also looked closely at usage rates in states with medical marijuana laws in the periods before and after the legislation went into effect. The researchers found teen use was higher in the states that adopted medical marijuana laws, but that pattern of higher use existed before the laws came into effect. Asked if parents or policy makers should feel reassured by the findings, Hasin said she didn’t think so. “Early adolescent marijuana use has many longterm adverse consequences, and the fact remains that teen use of marijuana is up considerably compared to the beginning of the 21st century,” she said in an email. “So, I don’t think people should be reassured by our findings particularly because we still need to find out what causes such increases and what can be done to prevent them.” A Canadian addictions expert who was not in-

A medical marijuana clone plants at a medical marijuana dispensary in Oakland, Calif. Passing a medical marijuana law does not lead to increased use of the drug by teenagers in that jurisdiction, concludes a new study that looked at self-reported use of pot among more than one million adolescents from 48 U.S. states from 1991 to 2014. volved in the study called it the best available on the topic. “This is probably the ... highest-quality study on a question that has been lingering for some time, which is whether the liberalization of marijuana control and more specifically medical marijuana regimes in the U.S. lead to higher levels of cannabis use, especially among young people,” said Benedikt Fischer, a senior scientist at the University of Toronto’s Centre for Addiction and Mental Health. “What this study importantly finds is that while states with medical marijuana regimes have somewhat higher levels of marijuana use among young people, the explanation is not that it is the medical marijuana regimes that make marijuana use go up.” “These states were different from the outset — probably had a more accepting or softer disposition towards marijuana use.” A chief concern of opponents of medical marijuana laws is that adopting them will lead to a general increase in use of the drug, especially among young people. Previous studies of the question have pro-

duced mixed results. These researchers set out to resolve the issue. They found there was no statistically significant increase in marijuana usage rates among Grade 10 and Grade 12 students after medical marijuana laws came into effect in the states that adopted them. And use of the drug actually dropped among Grade 8 students after legislation was put in place. “In conclusion, the results of this study showed no evidence for an increase in adolescent marijuana use after passage of state laws permitting use of marijuana for medical purposes,” the authors wrote. A commentary published with the study noted the work underscores how important it is to actually rigorously test assumptions before making public policy. “Policies might sometimes be shaped by preconceived notions that do not end up being true, and Hasin and colleagues’ study is an example of such an occurrence,” wrote Dr. Kevin Hill from the Division of Alcohol and Drug Abuse, McLean Hospital, Belmont, Mass.

Study on repeat ER visits indicates need for follow-up care BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HEALTHBEAT can be tracked from one health facility to another. Researchers checked more than 53 million ER visits in which the patient was treated and sent home between 2006 and 2010, the latest available data. About 8 per cent of patients returned within three days, more than previous estimates, and 1 in 5 patients made a repeat visit over the next month, Duseja reported this month in Annals of Internal Medicine. A third of revisits within three days, and 28 per cent over a month, occurred at a different ER. Duseja couldn’t tell why — if patients were dissatisfied the first time, or travelling, or for some other reason. Patients with skin infections were most likely to return, followed by those with abdominal pain. State rates varied a bit, with 6.2 per cent of Arizona patients returning within three days compared with 9.3 per cent in Utah. Revisits may be appropriate, Duseja said. Nearly 30 per cent of revisits involved hospitalization, suggesting either patients got worse or emergency physicians felt more scrutiny or testing was warranted. Also, sometimes ERs tell patients to return — to see if an antibiotic is working, for example, or if they think the person can’t or won’t get follow-up care elsewhere. In the ER at San Francisco General Hospital, Duseja sees many Medicaid or uninsured patients who have trouble finding a primary care doctor or specialist. ER workers sometimes make phone calls to help such patients secure appointments, said Dr. Rebecca Parker of Vista Health System in Waukegan, Illinois, who heads the American College of Emergency Physicians’ board. When that doesn’t work, “my choices are, do I send them to a clinic I can’t get them into or bring them back to us?” In Philadelphia, Dr. Kristin Rising of Thomas Jefferson University recently interviewed patients about why they returned to the ER, and found fear was a big motivator.

WASHINGTON — No one wants to make a repeat visit to the emergency room for the same complaint, but new research suggests it’s more common than previously thought and surprisingly, people frequently wind up at a different ER the second time around. Already some ERs are taking steps to find out why and try to prevent unnecessary returns. A Philadelphia hospital, for example, is beginning to test video calls and other steps to link discharged patients to primary care. The new research, based on records in six states, suggests patients should be pushy about getting follow-up care so they don’t have to return to crowded emergency departments. “You need to make sure the next day, you connect the dots,” said study co-author Dr. R. Adams Dudley of the University of California, San Francisco. “You cannot count on the health system to connect the dots.” It’s also a reminder of how disconnected our health care system is. Chances are, your primary care doctor won’t know you made an ER visit unless you call about what to do next. And if your second visit was to a different ER, often doctors can’t see your earlier X-rays or other tests and have to repeat them, adding preventable costs. While more hospitals and doctors’ offices are trying to share electronic medical records, it’s still far from common, especially in the fast-paced ER. “It’s frustrating. We’re open 24 hours a day and we don’t necessarily have access to those records,” said UCSF assistant professor Dr. Reena Duseja, an emergency physician who led the research. Hospitals are under pressure to prevent readmissions, when patients are discharged only to encounter problems during recovery that get them admitted again within a month.

Most had a primary care doctor. But they said they couldn’t get an appointment quickly enough to answer lingering concerns, or didn’t feel well enough for the multiple visits for X-rays or lab testing they were sure would be needed and that the ER could do under one roof. Now Rising’s ER is part of a hospital telemedicine program to explore if video calls address certain patients’ concerns before they’re up to a follow-up visit. In another pilot program, she said a contractor will call patients identified as at risk of returning, to help with next-step appointments.

NEW YORK — Poet Claudia Rankine has won another award, this time from PEN, while debut author Jack Livings received a $25,000 prize from the literary and human rights organization. The PEN American Center announced Monday night that Livings had won the PEN/Robert W. Bingham Prize for Debut Fiction for The Dog, a collection of stories set in China. Rankine received the PEN Open Book Award and $5,000 for Citizen: An American Lyric, which previously won the National Book Critics Circle prize for poetry. Also Monday, Ian Buruma won the $10,000 PEN/Diamonstein-Spielvogel Award for essay writing for Theater of Cruelty. The PEN/Fusion Emerging Writers Prize, also worth $10,000, was given to Adriana E. Ramirez for Dead Boys, an unpublished work about violence along the U.S.-Latin America border.

But the Delaneys are not the only threat to the children. The family that adopted seemed to be ideal; they ran a well-known church and appeared to be good citizens. Freedom always monitored everything about them and her children on social media. That is how she discovered that the daughter is missing. Believing the Delaneys are involved, Freedom decides to take matters into her own hands and find her missing daughter. What she discovers is that the girl’s disappearance is not due to the Delaneys but rather her adoptive parents. The religious couple who took her children are crazed fanatics who believe the end is coming and are planning a mass suicide with all their followers. All of this takes Freedom on one messed up journey. Miller has developed some really intense characters, but Freedom’s character lacks personal development until the last two chapters, which is a disappointment since she is taking all these risks and trying to change her future — if only she could change her attitude somewhere in the middle of the story. And a word of caution: this story is full of crude and blunt language that becomes overbearing when it is constantly thrown at the reader. Kirsten Lowe is a freelance book reviewer and Red Deer College student.

Biggest surprises from Electronics Entertainment Expo GAMES firming Fallout 4 would hit Nov. 10, an unprecedentedly short amount of time to hype such a long-awaited sequel.

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — E3, for many, is at its best when it manages to shock and awe. Despite an unrelenting glut of leaks, there were still surprises in store at this week’s Electronic Entertainment Expo, the annual gathering of the video game industry in Los Angeles. Whether it was the revelation that Final Fantasy VII is receiving a high-definition remaster or that Ubisoft was crafting an all-new game starring knights, samurais and Vikings, there were plenty announcements gamers didn’t see coming. A sampling of some of the biggest bombshells at E3 this week:

BLAST OFF

Bethesda Softworks kicked off E3 with a one-two punch. Ahead of the annual gaming extravaganza earlier this month, the Elder Scrolls and Doom publisher dropped a trailer for the long-rumoured-but-never-confirmed Fallout 4. Then, Bethesda spent the majority of its first-ever E3 briefing Sunday showing off the latest entry in the post-apocalyptic series before con-

XBOX 180

After originally stating the Xbox One wouldn’t play Xbox 360 games, Microsoft unlocked a surprising achievement Monday with the admission that the newer console will now be able to harness hundreds of games — digitally or on disc — from the prior console generation for free beginning later this year. Nintendo’s Wii U console has always offered backward compatibility, while Sony’s PlayStation 4 makes older games available through reissues and its PlayStation Now streaming service.

WILD SIDE

Assassin’s Creed and Just Dance publisher Ubisoft capped off its Monday conference by announcing the tactical shooter series Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon is being resurrected as an openworld, drug-busting romp. Ghost Recon: Wildlands is set in a virtual rendition of Bolivia where an elite military unit is tasked with taking down an oppressive cartel which-

AT LAST

While news of a possible return had been exposed ahead of E3, that didn’t deter attendees’ jaws from dropping when Sony launched its Monday briefing by debuting the first footage of gameplay from The Last Guardian and declaring the highly anticipated title would be out next year. The poetic platformer about a boy and his giant feathered sidekick from Shadow of the Colossus director Fumito Ueda was originally teased at E3 in

2009, then not seen again until Monday night’s unveiling.

SWAP FORCE

Nintendo, the Japanese gaming giant long known for being protective of its colorful cadre of characters, took gamers’ off guard at E3 by setting a play date during its Tuesday briefing with Activision. Nintendo revealed the amiibo and Skylanders toys-to-life franchises are teaming up for the first time with figures of barrel-tossing Donkey Kong, fire-breathing Bowser and their accompanying rides. The toys will work with both the Wii U edition of Skylanders: SuperChangers and amiibo games.

Nintendo charts return of Legend of Zelda, Star Fox at E3 BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — Link is set to return to the Nintendo 3DS before he arrives on the Wii U. Nintendo announced plans Tuesday during the Electronic Entertainment Expo for a multiplayer-focused installment of The Legend of Zelda on the Nintendo 3DS set to debut this fall. However, the Japanese gaming giant didn’t provide any more details about a previously teased open-world Zelda edition coming to the Wii U console next year. The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes for Nintendo’s handheld Nintendo 3DS system was shown off during a prerecorded video presentation Tuesday, with sword-wielding hero Link teaming up with a pair of allies. The trio could climb atop each other to take

down taller enemies and reach higher locations. “This time, I wanted players to cooperatively enjoy more serious ‘Zelda’ gameplay elements, like solving puzzles and going through dungeons,” said Tri Force Heroes director Hiromasa Shikata during Nintendo’s E3 presentation. The previous Zelda adventure, A Link Between Worlds, was released in 2013 for Nintendo 3Ds and sold more than 2.5 million copies. While previous Zelda games have been released for the Wii U, Nintendo has yet to premiere an original Zelda entry for the console, which has lagged behind PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. For the Wii U, Nintendo showcased Super Mario Maker, which invites gamers’ to create Super Mario levels with the Wii U GamePad, as well as Star Fox Zero, a space combat game that

utilizes the GamePad to project a view of vulpine fighter pilot Star Fox’s cockpit, while more cinematic scenes are shown on TV. Both titles are set for release later this year. “You can have that first-person and third-person view at the same time, managing those two different views as you play the game,” said Nintendo executive and designer Shigeru Miyamoto during a preview event Sunday morning. Nintendo displayed a few new figures for its amiibo toys-to-life franchise, including the guitar-playing canine K.K. Slider from Animal Crossing and a pixelated rendition of Mario that will be released in honour of the 30th anniversary of Super Mario Bros. Nintendo also unveiled four figures — Donkey Kong, Bowser and their accompanying vehicles — that can be employed in

Nintendo games and the upcoming Wii U edition of Skylanders: SuperChangers. It marks the first collaboration between a pair of toys-game franchises. “If you put the figure on a ‘Skylanders’ portal, they act as a Skylander, but you can you can twist the base and switch it to ‘amiibo,”’ said Karthik Bala, CEO of Skylanders: SuperChargers developer Vicarious Visions. “It can be used as an ‘amiibo’ in another Nintendo game.” Other titles previewed Tuesday included the supersized sports title Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash, party game Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival and sci-fi roleplaying saga Xenoblade Chronicles X for the Wii U, as well as the 3D adventure Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, interior decorating simulator Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer and intergalactic multiplayer game Metroid Prime: Federation Force for the Nintendo 3DS.

Straddling the divide

The Cancer Bats perform on Sunday at the International Beer Haus.

THE CANCER BATS MIX PUNK, HEAVY METAL ON THEIR LATEST ALBUM BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF Whether “experimental” or “radio-friendly,” the Cancer Bats’ latest album, Searching for Zero, defies easy description. “Some (critics) are like, ‘This is your craziest album’ ... some are saying, ‘This is your most radio friendly, accessible one.’ It’s definitely coming from a broad perspective,” said the band’s singer Liam Cormier, with a chuckle. For the musicians who perform on Sunday at the International Beer Haus in Red Deer, Zero actually isn’t a huge stretch from their previous material. “It’s always been a progression with this band,” said Cormier. “We started being a punky hardcore band ... then we added some sludge and doom influences...” until Cancer Bats comfortably straddle the divide between punk and heavy metal. For the first time on Searching for Zero, Ross Robinson (Korn) was brought on board as producer. Cormier believes the experimentation some people

are hearing comes from his influence. It can particularly be heard on the song Devil’s Blood. Listeners will hear the instruments drop off, one by one. Only the snare drum continues the beat until the music amps up into what one critic called a “scream-along main refrain ... unlike anything Cancer Bats have put to tape in their decade as a band.” Cormier admitted the song is dynamic and different. Robinson’s suggestion the band “push things further” with the instrumentation, while reminiscent of Queen of the Stone Age, shows a new side of Cancer Bats. He added, “It definitely tips the boat a bit.” But band members have always enjoyed broadening their scope while trying to staying true to the expectations of supportive fans. “It’s still us, playing songs we’re stoked from,” Cormier insisted. He feels Zero may also be different from previous Cancer Bats albums because musicians were able to pursue other interests before the recording process began. For the first time in eight years of touring, band members took a three-month break. Cormier bought a house in Toronto with his girlfriend and began to renovate it. Guitarist Scott Middleton went to Spain to learn how to make his own

‘WHAT ALWAYS REALLY GRABBED ME WAS PAINTING A PICTURE (FOR LISTENERS), AND I THINK COUNTRY MUSIC IS THE GENRE THAT DOES THAT BEST.’

Ponoka native explores ‘outlaw country’ sound BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF Singer/songwriter Jamie Woodfin sees today’s country music diverging along two main roads — one paved with pop and the other with “twang.” The Ponoka native, now based in Red Deer, prefers going down a path that’s been a little less travelled lately. “I love all kinds of country, but I used to play in a punk rock band, so I have more rock influences.” Woodfin feels he doesn’t have the voice to be twangy, so he’s more in tune with singers such as Dierks Bentley, Eric Church, even bluegrassy, folk/ country artist Chris Stapleton. “I look to all kinds of different music,” said Woodfin for what he described as his “outlaw country” sound. And this approach seems to be paying off for the Central Alberta musician, whose single Just Feels Right is getting played by KG Country and other radio stations. Woodfin, who opened a Brett Kissel concert in February, is performing at the Ponoka Stampede’s beer garden on Saturday, June 27. He’s also on the bill with Corb Lund on June 30 at a concert in Fort McMurray. And Woodfin sees this as a huge stepping stone in his career. “Things are going in a good direction,” he said. “All of these openers are a great opportunity to meet the artists and build relationships with them.” Woodfin started playing the guitar at age 14. His musical ambitions shifted from punk to country as a matter of “matured taste.” The singer said he came to appreciate the storytelling aspect of country songs. “What always really grabbed me was painting a picture (for listeners), and I think country music is the genre that does that best.” Although his current single was not written by

guitar. Drummer Mike Peters moved back to his native Winnipeg, bought a property and got married. Bassist Jaye Schwarzer started his own wood-working workshop. “We took three months off, with no band and no writing,” said Cormier. And he believes this was needed to get group members re-energized and excited about going back into the studio. “It was a celebration. We wanted to get back to playing music and doing shows. Everyone was happy to be doing this for the right reasons.” Cormier feels darker lyrics on the songs Arsenic in the Year of the Snake and All Hail, influenced by the deaths of three friends of the band from various ailments, are balanced out by a sense of elation on other tunes. “We’re so lucky we are able to do this,” said Cormier about the group’s Western Canadian tour. “I’m so excited to play these shows, now that I’ve had some time for ‘real life’ as well.” Tickets are $30 from Ticketfly. For more information, call 403-986-5008.

Jamie Woodfin is performing at the Ponoka Stampede’s beer garden on Saturday, June 27. He’s also on the bill with Corb Lund on June 30 at a concert in Fort McMurray. Woodfin, he regularly enters melodies and song ideas into his iPhone for his own material. “Sometimes you hear something, a turn of phrase, and you want to capture it,” for a possible use as a song lyric. Woodfin, who performed at the Rock the Change Suicide Awareness concert at Bower Ponds, is heading back into the studio this month to record a followup single set for an expanded EP that should be available at his shows later this year. The singer, who once owned his own home-build-

ing firm, still has a day job assessing construction tenders for Alberta Health Services. But he aims to be a full-time musician one day. “I have a lot of shows booked for the summer,” said Woodfin — including at a cabaret at the Battle of the Rockies chuckwagon races in Rocky Mountain House in mid-August.

POWERFUL EMOTIONS, THOUGHTS AND IDEAS GIVE PIXAR’S INSIDE OUT A VERVE AND SPIRT LACKING FROM MOST SUMMER MOVIES

BY ANN HORNADAY ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES

After the premiere of Up at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival, Pixar chief John Lasseter explained the studio’s nearly foolproof approach to creating animated stories that both enchant and endure: Whenever possible, he said, he and his colleagues strive to fulfill Walt Disney’s motto: “For every smile, a tear.” That dictum is not just obeyed but refined to throat-catching perfection in Inside Out, a triumphant return to form for the studio best known for such classics as Toy Story, Finding Nemo and Wall*E. As vivacious as it is thoughtful, as funny as it is wise, as warmly accessible as it is dizzyingly complex, this raucous journey through the inner life of an 11-year-old girl fires on every artistic cylinder, from its vivid visuals to its uncannily sophisticated grasp of brain science. If there were any justice in an entertainment culture currently dominated by lumbering dinosaurs and

their dimwitted human handlers, the dumbed-down noise of summer would be decisively muted by the far more powerful moods, thoughts and ideas that give Inside Out not just its verve and spirit but also its high stakes. And we haven’t even gotten to Bing Bong. But that comes later. From the start, Inside Out centers on Riley (voiced by Kaitlyn Dias), a happygo-lucky girl growing up in cozy bliss with her loving parents in Minnesota. From the moment of her arrival, Riley has a secret companion dwelling deep inside her brain: Joy, her cardinal emotion, personified as a twirling blue-haired pixie and voiced by Amy Poehler. Assuming chief-pilot position behind a blinking dashboard, it’s Joy who largely controls Riley’s feelings, even when Anger (Lewis Black), Fear (Bill Hader), Disgust (Mindy Kaling) and Sadness (Phyllis Smith) come into the mix. Happiness is Riley’s default setting, and her mostly positive vibes and memories have allowed her to construct a personality composed of different but complementary islands, including Family, Friendship, Honesty and — because she is one — Goofball.

SUMMER TELEVISION PREVIEW

Quantity trumps quality, again ● UnREAL — Delectably cruel fictional drama is a near-perfect send-up of life behind the scenes of a “Bachelor”-type reality show. Premiered June 1. ● The Whispers — This mediocre drama starts off with the usual spooky children of the leafy D.C. suburbs talking to “imaginary” friends with malevolent plans. Lily Rabe (American Horror Story) plays the federal agent who realizes that an unseen power is trying to get through our national security system through these kids. It never gets above a ho-hum level. Premiered June 1.

BY HANK STUEVER ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES Summer brings more scientific proof that TV’s oceans are indeed rising with a glut of content. Among other unnatural disasters between now and Labor Day, Syfy has a D.C.-based Sharknado movie (July 22) and there’s a Lifetime movie about the behind-the-scenes drama at Full House. (It airs in the doggiest of dog days, Aug. 22.) Want more bad news? We say goodbye to Jon Stewart on Aug. 6. Perhaps something to cheer you

up? More zombies, with AMC’s Fear the Walking Dead spinoff series still expected in August (no firm date yet). Quantity once again trumps quality — especially this summer — but I’ve noted a few things that might merit a glance. (Who would have ever expected a David Simon/Paul Haggis HBO miniseries about public housing?) Although it’s my job to watch too much TV, don’t forget that it’s your duty to spend your precious summer evenings in the best way possible — so don’t forget the beautiful freedom that can be found with the “off” button. Enjoy.

● Secrets and Wives — Reality show hangs out with perfectly awful Long Island women who’ve known one another since fuh-evuh. Premiered June 2. ● Stitchers — Drama series. A young woman is recruited into a secret government program that “stitches” her into the minds of the recently deceased as a way to solve crime. Premiered June 2. ● Sense8 — Tedious but stylish sci-fi series from the Wachowskis (The Matrix) about eight strangers who discover that their minds are linked. Premiered June 5. ● 100 Things to Do Before High School — Hipped by her big brother to the many bummers of high school, a 12-year-old girl decides to make the most of life with her BFFs before they have to face freshman year. Premiered June 6. ● Mummies Alive — Docuseries travels to many continents to look at ancient mummies and mummification rituals. Hosted by non-yet-mummified actor Jason Priestley. Premiered June 7. ● Odd Mom Out — Scripted comedy series from writer/star Jill Kargman about wealthy mommies on the Upper East Side. Abby Elliott and Joanna Cassidy costar. Premiered June 8. ● Becoming Us — Drama series about a teenager named Ben whose father is becoming a woman. Premiered June 8. ● Dark Matter — Drama series based on the Dark Horse comic book about six people who wake up and have no idea how they all wound up on the same spaceship. Premiered June 12. ● Dare to Wear — Fashion disasters from opposite sides of the wardrobe spectrum have to switch closets and wear the other person’s clothes and shoes. Premiered June 12. ● Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell — Based on the best-selling novel by Susanna Clarke, seven-part miniseries stars Eddie Marsan and Bertie Carvel as 18thcentury magicians who join England’s war against Napoleon. Premiered June 13. ● The Making of the Mob — For viewers who never tire of the mafia, Ray Liotta narrates this eight-part documentary series about the history of organized crime in New York in the early 20th century — material you should be somewhat familiar with if you watched Boardwalk Empire. Premiered June 15. ● Over My Dead Body — Actress Linda Hamilton hosts docuseries that tells true stories of women who fought off attackers. Premiered June 15.

FROM LEFT TO RIGHT: Pixie Davies as Sophie Hawkins and Gemma Chan as Anita in AMC’s Humans.

Operating system in need of an update From Karel Capek’s 1920 play Rossum’s Universal Robots and on up through a gallery that includes Metropolis, the work of Isaac Asimov, Philip K. Dick, C-3PO and the shared interest of Spielberg/Kubrick in making the 2001 movie A.I. Artificial Intelligence, there’s very little left to be said about robots — even as Google’s engineers come closer and closer to taking the steering wheel away from human drivers. AMC’s Humans, a co-production with British television’s Channel 4, is quite possibly the least original drama on TV this summer (it’s even based on an earlier Swedish version of the same show), but it is handsomely realized from a production standpoint. William Hurt also has a part in it, as an ailing robot inventor who finds himself trapped by the utopian ideal of his creation; it’s somewhat amazing that Hurt so often manages to rise above the material given to him. Humans, set in a parallel present where robots

are cooler than Apple Watches, is about a family that acquires a “synth,” which the husband (Tom Goodman-Hill) purchases as the obvious (and most sexist) answer to his attorney wife’s long work hours and the fact that he can’t keep up with the raising of their three kids. When the wife (Katherine Parkinson) expresses her unhappiness at this purchase, the husband barks: “You don’t get to waltz back in the door and tell me what this family needs.” So the attractive, ice-cool robot named Anita (Gemma Chan) gets to stay — but it turns out she’s a retread, who was captured and rewired and put back into service after she and several other free-thinking synths tried to rebel. The first two episodes are appallingly derivative of other robot-on-the-run stories (especially A.I.), with no clear indication that a surprise twist awaits down the road in the other six episodes.

journey through the mazelike expanse of Riley’s mind are a visit to abstract thought (in which they go from three to two dimensions, finally ending up as nonrepresentational squiggles) and a stop at the dream factory. The latter is depicted as a bustling Hollywood back lot where a rainbow-maned unicorn waits for her cue and a scary clown lurks far below in Riley’s subconscious where, as Sadness puts it, “they take all the troublemakers.” Dodging vacuum-wielding “Forgetters” on the lookout for old telephone numbers and other useless facts, Joy and Sadness see the aforementioned Bing Bong, an imaginary friend from Riley’s toddler days who is part elephant, part cat, part dolphin and mostly cotton candy. Voiced with bittersweet sensitivity by Richard Kind, Bing Bong winds up playing a crucial role, not only in Riley’s putting away childish things but also in nudging Joy and Sadness toward getting along. It’ll be no surprise if Inside Out becomes as beloved as Toy Story and Finding Nemo, if only for its

liberated, wildly inventive sense of wonder and breathless, breakneck pace. But this is that rare movie that transcends its role as pure entertainment to become something genuinely cathartic, even therapeutic, giving children a symbolic language with which to manage their unruliest emotions. Uncle Walt knew what he was talking about with “For every smile, a tear.” With Inside Out, the brilliant keepers of his legacy prove that it’s not only good for business but also essential for the soul.

SUMMER TELEVISION PREVIEW CONTINUED

British import a notable change of pace from rom-coms

Photo by ADVOCATE news services

Denis Leary as Johnny Rock in FX’s Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll.

Flashy drama inauthentic, forgettable The concept feels all right: It’s Denis Leary doing for the gravitational forces of the rock ‘n’ roll milieu what he did for the bonds between firefighters in FX’s Rescue Me. And it would certainly seem as if Leary, whose scathing pop-cultural critiques first bubbled up in the form of comedy routines and his association with MTV eons ago, would know a thing or two about backstage excesses and artistic torment. But the flashy Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll is bizarrely lacking in verisimilitude, particularly where the music is involved, which bogs down the show’s funnier jokes and moments. Leary stars as Johnny Rock, the former lead singer of a band called the Heathens, which imploded on the eve of their major-label debut in 1990. After several failed attempts to revive his career, Johnny is reduced, 25 years later, to considering gigs in bands that cover the songs of his more successful peers: Not Bryan Adams. Non Bon Jovi. Stung. Then the 21-year-old daughter Johnny never knew, Gigi (Elizabeth Gillies), shows up ready to spend her trust fund (provided by her successful mother) on becoming a rock star and offers to pay her father to

write her some songs. Johnny and his manager, Ira (Josh Pais), persuade his former Heathens bandmates (John Corbett, John Ales and Robert Kelly) to reunite, and it turns out the daughter can really sing. With the Heathens on backup, observers in the studio start nodding in rhythmic approval, like Reuben Kincaid seeing dollar signs on The Partridge Family. What makes no sense whatsoever here is the music — and it’s no trivial lapse in detail, traceable to creator/star Leary himself. Despite real rock stars (Dave Grohl, Joan Jett) speaking to the camera in mockumentary testimonial, Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll fails utterly to nail down Johnny Rock’s genre: Were the Heathens a hair band? Was Johnny a lite-rock balladeer? Was it punk? Playing himself, the Afghan Whigs’ Greg Dulli says the Heathens, in their brief heyday, sounded “like the Who f----- the Clash.” If only. With this vague sensibility and some outdated ideas about the music industry, Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll becomes the very thing Johnny claims to loathe most: It is inauthentic and forgettable.

Twitter users may already be fans of comedian Rob Delaney’s strange mix of the nasty and the gentlemanly, which is part of the appeal of this endearingly ribald six-episode dramedy import from British TV. Delaney plays Rob, a 38-year-old Boston advertising executive visiting London on business; he meets a 41-year-old Irish schoolteacher named Sharon (Sharon Horgan) in a crowded bar and they go back to his hotel, where a one-night stand winds up lasting several energetic days. A month later, Sharon calls Rob with surprising news: she’s pregnant. Rob immediately returns to London to support her decision to keep the baby and accompany her to a series of ghastly obstetrician appointments that raise the specter of a pre-cancerous cervix and increased likelihood of birth defects in a “geriatric pregnancy.” As odd as this comparison may sound, Catastrophe briefly reminded me of those long-ago Taster’s Choice commercials from the early 1990s about the neighbours who fall in love over a cup of coffee — only with about 1,000 per cent more vagina jokes. It’s easy to root for a positive outcome, even though Sharon’s egomaniac friends and argumentative family exhibit plenty of odd behaviors that should scare Rob away for good — yet he’s somehow unfazed and still smitten. (Rob’s family is no joy, either; Carrie Fisher plays his Debbie Downer mother, trying to thwart romance in a series of trans-Atlantic phone calls.) Delaney and Horgan, who created and wrote Catastrophe, are a good match — both as performers and as characters. Their casual approach to impending parenthood is a notable change of pace from the predictability of rom-coms, which place an impossible premium on happy endings. This couple’s mutual honesty about sex and the body at age 40-ish makes you realize how few shows are about characters in this demographic. Catastrophe is going for laughs, but it also has something to say about people who’ve lived long enough to know that satisfaction doesn’t come with a perfectly tied bow on it.

In a global crisis, the satirical missiles are mostly duds Part Wag the Dog and part Dr. Strangelove, HBO’s unfortunately flaccid new comedy The Brink is a caper set in the midst of a Pakistani coup d’etat. Jack Black stars as Alex Talbot, a low-level diplomat in the American Embassy in Islamabad. As a military revolution against the country’s newly elected president begins, Alex is out scoring weed with his reluctant driver Rafiq (Aasif Mandvi). A mob attacks their car, and the men are forced to flee on foot. In Washington, Secretary of State Walter Larson (Tim Robbins) is interrupted from his afternoon dalliance with a prostitute to get to the White House situation room, where an indecisive American presi-

dent (Esai Morales) is being urged to bomb the bejesus out of Pakistani military targets before the new regime can sell off the country’s nuclear weapons to terrorists. On a Navy carrier in the Red Sea, a pair of hapless fighter pilots (Pablo Schreiber and Eric Ladin) are scrambled in preparation to attack — but they’ve accidentally taken morphine instead of Xanax. Larson, fighting off a painful (but somewhat funny) kidney-stone emergency, hops on a plane with his long-suffering aide (Maribeth Monroe) in an attempt to undermine the coup and avert the crisis. All hopes hinge now on Alex, who, after he’s captured and wa-

terboarded, finds himself at the center of the action. The Brink is a little too stale and disorganized to act as the Veep of foreign diplomacy, but it does provoke a chuckle here and there. Black sets the pace with his shopworn shtick, while Robbins clearly enjoys another chance to play a comically egomaniacal government official. The funniest scenes involve the two fighter pilots, particularly Schreiber’s Zeke “ZPak” Tilson, a decorated ace who’s failing to juggle his personal crises (he’s the ship’s drug dealer and has impregnated a colleague) and probably welcomes the opportunity to crash land in the middle of a Taliban-infested nowhere.

JOHNSTON Stewart 1937 - 2015 The family of Stewart Johnston is sad to announce that Stew passed away on Monday, June 15, 2015, after an extended illness. Stew enjoyed a 36 year career with AGT/Telus, successfully representing the corporation in Edmonton, Westlock, St. Albert, Lethbridge, Pincher Creek and Red Deer. In each community, Stew left a legacy of integrity, professionalism and community involvement that ranged from coaching and working with youth to volunteering and engagement in Lions Club to support community needs. He was passionate about his time spent with the Canadian Ski Patrol, playing hockey and baseball. Stew had a love for all things family oriented; especially camping and fishing. He will be fondly remembered for his calm manner, humility and generosity. For Stew, there was always something to laugh about! Stew will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 57 years, Gail (McPhee), his sons; Dennis (Lynn), David (Wanda) and Norman (Marie), grandchildren; Chris, Kelsey, Garret, Max, Tiffany, Warren, Megan, and Logan, great grandchildren; Austin, Hadley and Caleb, as well as siblings Merla (Glen), Lynette (Darl), Arthur and Darryl (Deb), along with extended family members and friends. He was predeceased by his parents David and Hazel, siblings; Wilfred Johnston, Melvin Johnston and Deanna Lunder. The family would like to acknowledge the support of all devoted healthcare professionals who cared for Stew and all the family and friends that visited him during his stays at the Ponoka and Lacombe Hospitals. A Celebration of Stew’s Life will be held at Parkland Funeral Home and Crematorium, 6287 - 67 A Street (Taylor Drive), Red Deer, Alberta on Monday, June 22, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. A private interment will take place at the Red Deer Cemetery at a later date. In lieu of flowers, Memorial Donations in Stew’s honor may be made directly to the B.C. and Alberta Guide Dog Services at www.albertaguidedog.com or www.bcguidedog.com. Condolences may be sent or viewed at www.parklandfuneralhome.com. Arrangements in care of Rhian Solecki, Funeral Director at PARKLAND FUNERAL HOME AND CREMATORIUM, 6287 - 67 A Street (Taylor Drive), Red Deer. 403.340.4040.

PINET, René 1950 - 2015 Mr. René Paul Pinet of Red Deer, Alberta, passed away at the Tom Baker Cancer Centre, Calgary, Alberta on Tuesday, June 16, 2015 at the age of 64 years. René was born at Quebec City in 1950; and moved with his family shortly after, to the small mountain community of Canmore, Alberta. René grew up loving the mountains and the outdoors. He and his brothers spent many summers renting out horses in the school flats and doing chores everyday for their Mom and Dad. René was a hunter; as well as a fisherman, and a volunteer firefighter. His proudest moment though was when he became a coal miner and he always looked forward to “Miners Days” as a way of staying in touch with his friends. He got his first car as a young man and was a self taught mechanic; which led eventually to being an equipment operator for Banff Parks Highway Department, for a number of years. René moved to the Red Deer Area in 1994 and worked for the Highways Department in Central Alberta for the rest of his life. René had an amazing memory and could remember and tell great stories about his life with family and friends. He was very proud to wear the Montreal Canadiens Jersey and could recall all the stats and draft details from years ago to present. He fought a hard battle, in the last few months especially, but never stopped remembering and loving his family and friends. René will be lovingly remembered by his wife, Terry, his brothers, Michel (Pat) of Canmore, Alberta, Marcel (Kate) of Coleman, Alberta and sister, Denise of Canmore. He will also be sadly missed by his motherin-law, Bona Darling, as well as many other brothers and sisters-in-law, nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews, and numerous other aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. René was predeceased by his father, Paul and his mother, Lois. René will be interred at a Private Ceremony at Canmore, Alberta during the summer months. If desired, Memorial Donations in René’s honor may be made directly to Clinic Trials, c/o Alberta Cancer Foundation, Tom Baker Cancer Centre, 1331 29 Street NW, Calgary, Alberta, T2N 9Z9. Telephone 1.866.412.4222. Condolences may be sent or viewed at www.parklandfuneralhome.com. Arrangements in care of Ashley Paton, Funeral Director at PARKLAND FUNERAL HOME AND CREMATORIUM, 6287 - 67 A Street (Taylor Drive), Red Deer. 403.340.4040.

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BERKELEY, Calif. — An estimated 6,500 people have been rushed to emergency rooms with injuries from collapsing balconies and porches, while 29 — including six college students in Berkeley this week — have been killed since 2003. One reason, experts say, is the structures are particularly vulnerable to dry rot. “It’s all about creating a safe structure that has endurance, that has a reasonable life expectancy,” said David Helfant, who identified potential flaws in design and construction after an unofficial inspection of the Berkeley balcony that collapsed. “When I see something like that in a town I work and live in, it’s extremely depressing, it’s upsetting,” he said.

SANAA, Yemen — Thousands of people have been diagnosed with dengue fever in southern Yemen, where fighting has raged for months between Shiite rebels and their opponents, international organizations and health officials said Thursday. The top health ministry official in the southern port city of Aden, al-Khadr Al-Aswar, told The Associated Press that at least 5,000 people have been diagnosed with the mosquitoborne virus. He said mountains of uncollected garbage, along with untreated sewage and heat, have contributed to the spread of the disease. The World Health Organization said last week that at least 3,000 suspected cases have been reported since March in several provinces, including Ade, with three people dying from the disease. Dengue causes fever, headaches and skin rashes. Potentially lethal cases, mainly in children, involve abdominal pain, vomiting and difficulty breathing, according to the WHO. The WHO said the last major Yemeni outbreak, with 1,500 confirmed cases, was in 2011 in the western Hodeida governorate. The fighting in Yemen pits the Shiite rebels, known as Houthis, and military units loyal to former President Ali Abdullah Saleh against an array of forces, including southern separatists, local and tribal militias, Sunni Islamic militants and loyalists of internationally recognized President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi. A Saudi-led coalition backed by the United States began carrying out airstrikes against the Houthis and their allies in late March, but has made little progress in pushing them back. The unrest has killed more than 1,000 civilians, displaced more than a million and led to severe shortages of food, water, fuel and electricity. The lack of fuel has put garbage trucks out of service, and the mounds of uncollected trash incubate mosquitoes that carry the disease.

Hamza al-Houthim head of the Houthi delegation, shows photographs of injured and killed children as he speaks on human rights during a press conference on the Yemen peace talks at the Geneva Press Club in Geneva, Switzerland, Thursday. U.N.-brokered talks are underway in Geneva, where mediators had hoped to secure a cease-fire in time for the Islamic fasting month of Ramadan, which began Thursday. At a press conference held by Hamza al-Houthi, the head of the rebel delegation, journalists began arguing, pushing and shoving. A reporter from Aden threw her shoe at al-Houthi, who picked it up and threw it back at her. “Every day our people die and you are holding a press conference,” she shouted, as a second fight broke out, with one person waving the flag of formerly-independent South Yemen. Al-Houthi later told reporters that his delegation wants a temporary truce. “The humanitarian truce is being negotiated,” he said. “The outside assault must stop immediately and the siege must end immediately.” Yemen’s exiled Prime Minister Khaled Bahah, who met with Egyptian officials in Cairo on Thursday, said one of the obstacles facing the talks is that the Houthis arrived with some 20 delegates, violating an earlier agreement to bring just seven. He also accused the rebels of blowing up a house belonging to a rival negotiator. “You have seven houses,

blow them up, but we will continue to talk and not fight,” he said. “The war is not going to solve Yemen’s crisis.” He said his government is looking for a permanent ceasefire, saying an earlier humanitarian pause had allowed the Houthis to grab more territory. The pace of Saudi-led airstrikes sharply declined on Thursday, with only two reported by witnesses in the rebelheld capital, Sanaa, and Aden. Ground fighting continued in several provinces, including Aden. In Washington, the U.S. criticized Yemen’s government for including an accused al-Qaida financier in its delegation to the peace negotiations. The State Department said American officials raised concerns with the U.N., but that it blames Hadi’s government for including Abdel-Wahab Humayqani in its delegation. The U.S. added Humayqani to a terror blacklist in 2013 for allegedly financing al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula and helping it to expand its foothold in Yemen. It said at the time that he was “at the centre of global support networks that fund and facilitate terrorism,” and that he was establishing a political party as a cover for AQAP.

its were associated with deck collapses in the past decade and another 1,900 with porch failures. With millions of ER visits a year in the U.S., “the type of incident that happened in Berkeley appears to be rare,” commission spokesman Alexander Filip said based on data collected from 100 hospitals to make the projections. One of the worst collapses occurred in 2003, when a porch fell in Chicago and killed 13 people. The commission identified just 10 fatalities that occurred since then — until Tuesday. The Berkeley balcony snapped off the fifth floor of an apartment building, tossing 13 people to the street 50 feet below. Seven survivors are being treated in hospitals, while funerals are being planned for the six who died. Experts and city officials have said the 40-square-foot balcony might have snapped off because supports had dry

rotted, a problem that structural engineers say can be prevented through proper design, construction and maintenance aimed at sealing out water. Left unrepaired, dry rot can weaken balconies and create collapse hazards, say structural engineers. “This cantilevered wood balcony appears to be severely rotted at its support,” structural engineer Peter Curry said while looking at pictures of the Berkeley balcony. “That’s usually a problem with the waterproofing. These should not break like this.” Dry rot occurs when water gets into poorly ventilated areas of buildings and a fungus starts to decay the timber. If left unchecked, wood can fall apart or turn to powder. The Berkeley apartment complex was built by Segue Construction and completed in 2007. Company spokesman Sam Singer said the firm has never “had an incident like this in its history.”

was discussed between her and Matt and that upon their escape they were going to return back to Joyce Mitchell’s home at which time Matt and Sweat were going to kill her husband,” said Andrew Wylie, Clinton County district attorney. Lyle Mitchell’s lawyer, Peter Dumas, said Thursday that his client was shocked by word of the plot and that Joyce Mitchell had told her husband she couldn’t go through with it. “Toward the end, Joyce had told Lyle — and we have no reason to doubt it — that she told Sweat and Matt that she wasn’t going to go through with it,” he said. “At that point, they threatened her by threatening Lyle, saying they were going to have someone on the outside do something to him or someone on the inside when he was back at work do something to him so I think it was a point of control.” Lyle Mitchell is co-operating with authorities and isn’t facing charges. “He’s still in love with her, but I don’t know that he is going to be very supportive,” Dumas said.

Joyce Mitchell has pleaded not guilty. As the search for the men stretched into a 13th day Thursday, correction officials lifted a lockdown that had limited activities in the prison. They said inmates are eating again in the mess hall rather than in their cells and a number are going to work assignments. Recreation activities and use of the phones are also resuming. Visitors are expected to be allowed starting Friday. Sweat, 35, was serving a life sentence without parole in the killing of a sheriff’s deputy. Matt, 48, was doing 25 years to life for the kidnap, torture and hacksaw dismemberment of his former boss. The Marshals Service, which added Sweat and Matt to its 15 Most Wanted fugitives list on Thursday, said it will work tirelessly to ensure their run from the law is as brief as possible. “The agency’s 15 Most Wanted fugitive list is reserved for the worst of the worst,” Marshals Service Director Stacia Hylton said. “There is no question David Sweat and Richard Matt fall into this category.”

A man was “blown away” by word that his wife discussed having two inmates kill him as she helped them plot their successful escape from a maximum-security prison in northern New York, his lawyer said on Thursday. Joyce and Lyle Mitchell worked as instructors at the Clinton Correctional Facility, where convicted murderers David Sweat and Richard Matt were reported missing June 6. Sweat and Matt remain at large and have been added to the U.S. Marshals Service’s 15 Most Wanted fugitives list. Joyce Mitchell is jailed on charges she gave the inmates hacksaws and other tools used to cut through their cell walls and a steam pipe to get beyond the prison walls. Authorities say Mitchell had planned to be the inmates’ getaway driver but backed out. Authorities have said Mitchell, who got close to the men while working with them in the prison tailor shop, discussed killing her husband. “Joyce Mitchell tells us that

You say she is a good friend. We assume she is pleasant company and there are other things you like about her. You have multiple ways of dealing with this: Put up with her choices and see the films that interest you with other like-minded people; take movies off the list of activities to do together; tell her the next movie is your pick or you aren’t interested; or talk to her, letting her know her intransigence on the issue is building resentment and damaging the friendship. Dear Annie: Thank you for standing firm on your advice to “Blainville, Quebec,” who thought it was OK for a wedding guest to ask to bring her boyfriend. I host many events and am amazed by how many people do not understand that an invitation addressed solely to one person does not automatically include a plus one. It’s not only the budget. It’s the seating arrangements, keeping to the guest limits, accommo-

dations and meals. “Just one more” makes a huge difference, especially when several people want to add someone. I have had people ask to bring their neighbour “who wants to see your lovely home,” parents who ask to bring three extra children to a child’s birthday party at the circus and, of course, the people who don’t RSVP and just show up. It is wrong to put a bride on the spot by making her feel obligated to incur an additional expense or explain to her new in-laws why she is changing the guest limit. It is never permissible to forego good manners and ask for whatever a person wants. — Massachusetts Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Puzzling proposal: British man asks girlfriend to marry him in The Times’ crossword LONDON — It’s a case of two down: the aisle. A crossword-loving British lawyer hid a marriage proposal in The Times newspaper’s daily puzzle. Matthew Dick thought of the cryptic way of popping the question to girlfriend Delyth Hughes and persuaded the newspaper to agree. Tuesday’s Times crossword opened with one across: “Pretty Welsh girl widely thought not to be all there.” The answer: Delyth. Other clues included “‘Will you mar-

ry me,’ say, that’s forward also rude.” The answer was proposal. Dick, 38, told Wednesday’s edition of the newspaper that he showed Hughes the crossword at breakfast, with some key words underlined, then “reached into my pocket to reveal the ring.” “She looked so surprised and didn’t say anything for about 30 seconds, before then saying ‘No’, which she thought was hilarious,” he said. “But she did then say ‘Yes’ and I had to tell her this was the real Times crossword, not something I had printed myself.” Hughes says she was “dumbfounded that he’d gone to such lengths.” “It was also bloody typical, as he’s a smart-arse at the best of times,” she said. “I’ve heard all the engagement stories but this one trumps them all.”
