Unlike their three opponents, the Red Deer Rebels have known since 2014 they’d have a spot in the MasterCard Memorial Cup. But that didn’t make them complacent in the 2015-16 Western Hockey League season.

A run to the Eastern Conference Final and a competitive, hard working team that can roll all four lines will challenge the league champions from across the Canadian Hockey League.

Trades in the run up to the Memorial Cup, landed Red Deer some big names in the WHL including Luke Philp (Kootenay Ice), Adam Helewka (Spokane Chiefs) and Jake DeBrusk (Swift Current Broncos).

Those three led the Rebels in playoff scoring with Helewka leading the way with nine goals and nine assists, DeBrusk had eight goals and nine assists and Philp had four goals and nine assists. Rounding out the top five were rookie Michael Spacek (three goals, 10 assist), an import player from the Czech Republic, and playoff hero Evan Polei (eight goals and four assists). Polei had a hand in Rebels winning goals in four of their nine playoff wins. He

scored two game-winning goals and had an assist in two other game-winners.

The Rebels lost to the eventual Ed Chynoweth Cup winning Brandon Wheat Kings in the Eastern Conference Final in five games. Before that they had a seven game series battle against the upstart Regina Pats, which was preceded by a quick disposal of the Calgary Hitmen in five games.

“They’ve handled the time off really well,” said Rebels GM/head coach Brent Sutter. “I don’t see our emotion level as dropping off at all. It’s gone the other way and we’re trying to control some of it.”

Backup goaltender Trevor Martin started the playoffs in net as the starter Rylan Toth was sidelined with a lower body injury. After a disappointing performance from Martin in Game 4, Martin was pulled after allowing four goals on 22 shots. Toth, in his first game back in the lineup was pressed into action and has been the starter ever since.

Toth finished the playoffs with a 0.905 save percentage and a 3.19 goals against average. Conner Bleackley, who left the last regular season game with a cut to his wrist, is doubtful to play at the start of the series.

A familiar foe will roll back into Red Deer this week, as the Brandon Wheat Kings locked up the Western Hockey League title.

An 8-4 win on Friday over the Seattle Thunderbirds in the fifth game of the best-of-seven league final gave the Wheat Kings a 4-1 series win.

Now they return to Red Deer for the Memorial Cup. The Wheat Kings ousted the Red Deer Rebels in five games in the WHL Eastern Conference Finals, splitting the two games at the Centrium with the Memorial Cup home team.

It was Jayce Hawryluk and Nolan Patrick at it again in the final over the Thunderbirds. Hawryluk scored a hat trick and added two assists while Patrick had a goal and two assists to lead the Wheat Kings.

The two combined with John Quenneville and Tim McGauley led all playoff scorers in the WHL. Patrick led the way with 13 goals and 17 assists followed by Hawryluk with seven goals and 22 assits, then Quenneville with 16 goals and 11 assists and rounded out by McGauley with eight goals and 18 assists.

Their road to the Memorial Cup got off to a rocky start. Two straight home losses to the Edmonton Oil Kings put the Wheaties on their heels. The team rallied after those losses and won four straight games

to close out the first series.

After that the Wheat Kings rattled off three straight series wins, all in five games. The final series proved to be the tightest, with the first three games going into overtime. The Wheat Kings came away with three straight 3-2 overtime wins to gain a stranglehold on the series.

In overtime, the Wheat Kings have controlled the gameplay throughout the playoffs. Game 1 agains the Thunderbirds, the Wheaties outshot their Seattle opponent 10-0 before scoring the winning goal.

“Every overtime game is a new one,” said Kelly McCrimmon, Wheat Kings head coach. “Against Seattle, when we got to the third period we were carrying the play a bit more.

As the games went on I think we were the better team. We trailed them in the them in the third period and we pushed them in the end.”

Following a 6-2 shelling at the hands of the Rebels in Game 3 and getting pulled from the net in the first period, Wheat Kings goalie Jordan Papirny found his game and closed out the series and the subsequent one. He finished the post season with a 2.93 goals against average, a 0.897 save percentage and only one post-season shutout.

Making quick work of the Ontario Hockey League, the London Knights haven’t lost a game since April 1 sweeping three straight playoff series to book their ticket to the Memorial Cup. The Knights finished off the Niagara IceDogs in four straight games Wednesday night with a 1-0 win.

There’s red hot and then there’s the trio of Knights Mitch Marner, Matthew Tkachuk and Christian Dvorak. The three have combined to score 119 points in 18 playoff games.

Tkachuk leads the way with 20 goals while Marner’s 28 assists leads the OHL playoffs.

“They’re unselfish and they move the puck around well,” said Knights coach Dale Hunter. “They pass the puck and they don’t care who scores as long as they get the end result.

When you’re an unselfish player, good things will happen.”

Marner, a Toronto Maple Leafs first round draft pick last year, fin-

ished the regular season with 39 goals and 77 assists. He has been the key cog in an impressive offensive attack.

After going to six games against the Owen Sound Attack, the Knights rattled off three straight playoff sweeps against the Kitchner Rangers, Erie Otters and finishing with the IceDogs.

For Hunter, this is his fourth trip to the Memorial Cup in five years and fifth appearance in the tournament since he took ownership of the organization in 2000.

In 2012, they lost to the Shawinigan Cataractes in the championship game, the next year they lost to the Portland Winterhakws in the semifinal. Then in 2014, the team finished fourth in the round robin.

With all the talk of the Knights vaunted offence, the goaltending from Tyler Parsons has been solid all playoffs. He leads the OHL playoffs with a goals against average of 2.15 and a 0.925 save percentage.

“ Summer Is A Time To Enjoy The Outdoors”

Red Deer Rebels captain Luke Philp dons the commemorative jersey on Thursday after practice for the Memorial Cup. The jersey is in honour of the former Canadian Forces base in Penhold.

It took the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies 20 years, but the team from northwestern Quebec is off to the Memorial Cup. They had to go through the Drummondville Voltigeurs in four straight games, Blainville-Boisbriand Armada in five games and the Moncton Moncton Wildcats in six games before their final against the Shawinigan Cataractes.

The series against the Cataractes went to five games, with the Huskies taking the first three by scores of 4-2, 4-1 and 2-1. The Cataractes rebounded on home ice in Game 4 with a 6-2 win, but could not keep with momentum and fell in Game 5 to the Huskies 7-2.

The win gave the Huskies their first ever Presidents Trophy, the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League title. It was also the team’s first appearance in the league final.

In the Memorial Cup, Huskies coach Gilles Bouchard said their preparation has been the same as it was during the season.

opponent,” said Bouchard. “We want to focus on our team and the process we will play in. We want to be the same. We watch video of our opponent, but we don’t want to focus on it. The most important thing is out team.”

Leading the way for the Huskies was Francis Perron, who scored 12 goals and 21 assists in 18 playoff games. The Ottawa Senators seventh-round draft pick’s torrid playoff run was on the heels of a Michel Briere Memorial Trophy (QMJHL Most Valuable Player) regular season with 41 goals and 67 assists.

Helping Perron out offensively were Timor Meier, who had 11 goals and 12 assists, and Anthony-John Greer, with 12 goals and 10 assists.

Chase Marchand, Huskies goalie, turned in a stellar post season for his squad. The a waiver pickup in September started 19 games for the Huskies and finished with a 1.35 goals against average at a 0.946 save percentage. The 20-year-old record six shutouts over the post-season.

City shows its hockey spirit RED DEERIANS LINE THE STREETS FOR A PARADE TO WELCOME THE MEMORIAL CUP

BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF Talk about an entrance.

The MasterCard Memorial Cup landed in Red Deer via a CH146 Griffon helicopter before the coveted hockey hardware was given a military escort to Veterans’ Park for the arrival ceremony.

Hockey fans — mostly donning Rebels’ jerseys or hats — lined the streets to watch the military parade.

But it is the anticipated first drop of the puck that has fans pumped and ready for some action.

Diehard hockey fan Steve Sands said watching the national major junior hockey championships will be a dream come true.

Sands said it has been a long road to get here but he is thrilled the day has finally arrived.

“It’s going to be some good hockey,” he said.

Rebel season ticket holders Marina and Stan Walker will not miss a single game in the series. Stan said he is looking forward to seeing some of the best young hockey talent in Canada.

Marina said the is a fantastic opportunity for the city and hopes more sporting events will come to Red Deer.

College honours distinguished alumni for community work

BY BRENDA KOSSOWAN ADVOCATE STAFF Leaders from Red Deer College took some time earlier this week to recognize the achievements of some of their former students as well as a relationship that has helped define the college’s role in health care.

This year’s Red Deer College Community Awards, presented on Wednesday evening, honour four college alumni who have distinguished themselves in the community, including a First Nations leader (Tany Schur), two outstanding teachers (Joe Bower and Kathryn McKenzie) and a storyteller with a commitment to righting social wrongs (Andrew Kooman). The awards also honour a long-time partner, Alberta Health Services, for its contri-

butions to training nurses and other health care professionals and technicians.

The G. H. Dawe Memorial Award is named after a co-founder of Red Deer College and is the highest level of award presented, honouring leaders who have contributed to the community in a spirit similar to its namesake.

While not limited to college alumni, it is especially fitting that this year’s recipient is a graduate of the college, said Michael Donlevy, RDC’s vice-president of enterprise and community.

G. H. Dawe winner Schur, executive director of the Red Deer Native Friendship Society, has combined her formal education with the traditional teachings of her Blackfoot ancestors to develop a leadership style based on collaboration and encouragement.

The vote came the same week Red Deer welcomed the 2016 MasterCard Memorial Cup, the major junior hockey national championship launched originally in 1919 to honour soldiers who died fighting for Canada in the First World War. “I just want to really, really confirm to people we’re not closing the legion.

We’re just relocating to a more appropriate size for our uses and membership,” said Hanes on Thursday.

Dog saves owner from blaze

BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF A barking dog proved a life saver after it alerted its owners to a fire that ripped through a townhouse complex in Blackfalds.

Blackfalds Fire Chief Robert Cote said the dog woke the owners of one of the townhouses about 2:30 a.m. on Wednesday.

“They went and looked and the back of the unit was on fire,” he said.

“While they were noticing the fire the propane tank on the barbecue on the their outside deck exploded.

“That’s when they high-tailed it out of there.”

The homeowners raced outside and alerted all of the neighbours in the six-unit townhouse complex on Westbrooke Road.

Thanks to the resident’s action no one was injured in the $1.2-million blaze.

“It’s very fortunate and quick thinking on their part,” said Cote.

There were reports that 15 people lived in the five occupied units including five children, but the fire department is still verifying the count.

About 18 Blackfalds volunteer firefighters battled the blaze, which took two hours to put out. Another six firefighters with Lacombe’s Fire Department arrived with their aerial truck to help out.

Five of the units were gutted. A sixth was damaged at one end.

The cause of the fire is still under

Cote said the homeless families have contacted Canadian Red Cross and Family Community Support Services in the community for help.

Local efforts to help the families have already begun. Family Foods is collecting donations to provide prepaid Visa cards to help them get back on their feet.

A friend of the family had posted a message on Facebook late Wednesday asking for help finding a cat missing since the fire.

support of people who want to take Hiro home.

“He is going to be special needs so he will have to go to a special home,” said Coomber. “We don’t know the extent of the brain damage or if he will have disabilities. At this point we are telling people to keep watching (the Alberta Animal Services Facebook page). It could be weeks or it could be months. We don’t know.”

If you have any information about this case, please contact Alberta Animal Services at 403-347-2388.

About 105 teachers were nominated for the award and a seven-member judging panel narrowed down the top 25 to 12.

Three winners will be chosen through an online voting process run by parent magazine Canadian Family.

People can vote by going to CanadianFamily.ca/TeacherAwards. Voting will close on June 19 and winners will be announced on Canadianfamily.ca on Aug. 15.

Each winner gets $2,500 for programming and supplies, courtesy of sponsor Johnson Inc., a Scholar’s Choice 20 per cent off gift card that can be applied to maximize the spending power of their prize, and a $250 gift basket from Baskits to share with their class.

RCMP said the investigation is in its early stages but expect to release more information later.

Condition of cat left in trash bin improving

Three local teachers among nominees for national award

A cat left in a trash bin is on the mend.

Erica Coomber, Alberta Animal Services’ director of operations, said the male cat is showing signs of improvement but he is still in critical care. The two-year-old cat has since been named Hiro.

It may take weeks or months for the cat to be well enough to undergo surgery to fix his broken pelvis, said Coomber.

“He is starting to get up and move around,” she said. “He is eating and drinking on his own. He is purring, which is really good news. He is still blind. Sometimes it can be temporary and sometimes it can be permanent after what has happened. He is doing quite well.”

Right now he is stabilized with pain medication.

There have been no tips yet on the suspect who placed him in a zipped up backpack in a trash bin in the Glendale area on Monday afternoon.

Nye is independently certified in mediation and mindfulness and is developing programs at the school to help students deal with anxiety and anger.

Sveinson is a school counsellor and serves as the main contact and support for Safe Spaces at her school to provide support for LGBTQ+ students.

Five suspects arrested during raid in Vanier Woods A quiet Vanier Woods street was filled with police on Thursday morning in a raid that netted five suspects.

RCMP descended on a Veer Close residence about 9 a.m. All five people inside were taken into custody without incident.

Few other details were available on Thursday morning on the operation, which saw local RCMP supported by the Emergency Response Team, Police Dog Services, Calgary RCMP GIS Unit and Red Deer Emergency Services.

A police helicopter was still circling above the neighbourhood long after the suspects had been taken away.

‘Everyone’s a loser in this case’

Alberta

FINAL WITNESS CALLED IN DE GROOD MURDER TRIAL

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — The final witness in the murder trial of Matthew de Grood bolstered the defence’s case that he was not criminally responsible when he stabbed five young people to death at a Calgary house party two years ago.

“I believe on the balance of probabilities he had a legitimate psychotic disorder,” Andrew Haag, who has a doctorate in forensic psychology and works at Alberta Hospital Edmonton, said Thursday.

“My primary diagnosis is it is schizophrenia. It interfered with his ability to recognize that his actions were morally wrong.”

Haag’s diagnosis and his testimony that de Grood had suffered a psychotic episode reinforced the positions of two forensic psychiatrists who testified Wednesday.

De Grood, 24, admitted to stabbing the victims to death in an agreed statement of facts read at the beginning of his trial for five counts of first-degree murder.

But his lawyer pleaded not guilty on his behalf, saying he isn’t criminally responsible.

The trial has heard evidence that de Grood became withdrawn about a month before the attack on April 15, 2014 and started including strange posts about the end of the world, religion, vampires and Darth Vader on Facebook.

He reported hearing voices telling him to kill and believed the end of the world was coming before he grabbed a knife from a kitchen in the northwest Calgary home and stabbed the victims to death.

Killed in the attack were Kaitlin Perras, 23 Lawrence Hong, 27 Josh Hunter, 23 Zackariah Rathwell,

21 and Jordan Segura, 22.

Haag said in his interviews with de Grood the young man worried there would be “an outbreak of vampires.” De Grood said the night of the attack he heard one male voice telling him to “kill them all before they kill you” and a second voice telling him to kill the four other victims sitting on a living room couch.

“He believed he was imminently in danger at the time. He had to act.”

Haag said de Grood said he didn’t intentionally wait for his childhood friends, who had invited him to the party, to leave the house.

If there had been more people in the house at the time of the attack, de Grood told Haag “they would have been terminated as well.”

Haag also said he found no evidence that de Grood was faking mental illness.

Final arguments will be held on Tuesday.

De Grood’s lawyer, Allan Fay, believes he proved his case.

“I’m happy with the way the evidence came out. I think the experts who testified certainly support my position that my client was not criminally responsible at the time these events occurred,” he said.

Fay said the entire case has been painful.

“It’s horribly difficult. So many young lives wiped out in those events. It’s terrible,” he said.

Crown prosecutor Neil Wiberg said the goal of any trial is for the truth to come out but he’s not sure if it will give the families of the victims any solace.

“I don’t think they’ll ever get over this,” Wiberg said.

“Everybody’s a loser in this particular case. Five outstanding people were killed and nothing, no decision, will get around that.”

Standard & Poor’s downgrades Alberta’s credit rating, cites weak budget, debt

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — Alberta’s credit rating has been downgraded again.

Standard & Poor’s has changed the province’s rating from double-A-plus to double-A. The company says the downgrade reflects what it calls “Alberta’s very weak budgetary performance and high, increasing debt burden.”

It also cites uncertainty about the province’s willingness to take measures to improve its budget shortfalls within the next two years.

Last month, Moody’s Investor Service and DBRS both downgraded Alberta’s credit rating due to concerns about the province’s debt after the NDP government introduced its budget.

BRIEFS Crews hold back wildfire from oilsands as flames move into Saskatchewan EDMONTON — Officials say the threat of the Fort McMurray wildfire has diminished as the flames move into Saskatchewan.

Alberta senior wildlife manager Chad Morrison says fire crews have been successful holding the fire back from oilsands facilities and work camps.

The massive fire, which has grown to 5,000 square kilometres, has crossed the Saskatchewan boundary into other forested areas.

Morrison says the blaze has burned the same amount of forest as all fires consumed in Alberta last year.

He says a trace amount of rain fell in the region this morning and more moisture, along with cooler temperatures, are forecast in the coming days.

The province has said more than 80,000 residents evacuated from Fort McMurray two weeks ago may start returning to the community on June 1 if it is safe.

Ban on camp fires, off-highway vehicles lifted for much of the province EDMONTON — Alberta is lifting the ban on camp fires, open fires and off-highway vehicles for much of the province just ahead of the May long weekend.

The government says wet, cool weather in some areas has reduced the wildfire hazard.

The ban remains in effect for the Lac La Biche and Fort McMurray forest areas in northeastern Alberta.

The province notes that municipalities and federal lands such as national parks may still have fire bans.

Alberta’s budget includes a $10.4-billion deficit this year.

“The one-notch downgrade reflects the impact of depressed oil prices on Alberta’s important resource revenues, and the province’s fiscal response that, so far, has not meaningfully counterbalanced this external shock,” Standard & Poor’s said in a report released Thursday.

“Based on the province’s latest budget released last month, we now expect the depth and duration of the province’s after-capital deficits and related runup in tax-support debt to be much greater than what we foresaw in our last review in December 2015, leading us to conclude that Alberta’s credit profile is no longer consistent with the ‘AA+’ rating.”

In December, Standard & Poor’s downgraded Alberta’s rating to double-A-plus from triple-A.

CRASH NEAR PENHOLD DIVERTS TRAFFIC

Photo by BRENDA KOSSOWAN/Advocate staff

Plans for a weekend holiday were shut down early for the drivers of three vehicles involved in a spectacular collision at about 9 a.m. Thursday on Hwy 2, just north of the Hwy 42 overpass near Penhold. Police on the scene said a northbound pickup truck hauling a fifth-wheel RV went out of control and collided with a northbound SUV. The two vehicles caromed into the median and broke through the safety cables. The pickup truck came unhooked from the trailer, flew into the air, bounced into the ditch on the southbound side of the highway and landed on its passenger side, facing the opposite direction from which it had been travelling. The trailer was smashed to bits on the southbound land and the SUV was also damaged, as was a pickup truck that had been heading south. Police report no major injuries. Traffic in both directions was slowed to a crawl, with southbound traffic diverted to Hwy 2A via McKenzie Road.

ANDREW KOOMAN

AWARDS: Also honoured Alberta Health Services This year, the award was presented to the family of high school teacher Bower, 37, who died early in January from complications of a heart attack.

Bower, a teacher at Lindsay Thurber Comprehensive High School, was an innovator and a renegade, who did not believe in giving marks.

“He did this blog called For the Love of Learning, and he got as many as 85,000 view a month,” said Donlevy.

“He called himself a social justice and education warrior. He felt that some of the approaches to education in K to 12 (kindergarten to Grade 12) need to change, and was a strong advocate for those changes.”

The award was created in 2004 to honour Phil Rauch, executive director of the Central Alberta AIDS Network, who died of heart failure at the age of 38. It was presented in 2014 to the family of Tim Guilbault, an oilfield executive and college board member killed by his own son and in 2015 to loved ones of Marlin Styner, who became a stalwart advocate for people with disabilities after being partially paralyzed in a vehicle crash.

Distinguished Alumni Awards were presented to two former students who have used their education to create a better world for others.

Author and playwright Kooman was recognized for his creative approach to battling social injustice,

including his work on the play and movie, She Has A Name, which investigates sexual exploitation and human trafficking in Southeast Asia.

McKenzie, a teacher, athlete and academic, is a highly sought public speaker who uses her own experience with depression to help others shift their perspectives to find hope.

Red Deer College also honoured Alberta Health Services, one of its first partners, with the Community Partner Award.

From the establishment of the nursing program in 1968, the college and AHS have continued to develop opportunities for students in an ever-widening area of health care. Collaboration with AHS includes placing students in a variety of facilities and agencies throughout Central Alberta, where they can gain practical experience as they embark on their careers.

Originally held at lunch during convocation exercises, the awards celebration was recently altered to a stand-alone event, held during May, said Donlevy.

Setting an evening aside to present the awards has enabled the college to put a stronger focus on the recipients and their contributions to the community, he said.

Red Deer College’s first class included five staff and 119 students. The college now enrols an average of 7,500 students per year on its main campus and two downtown sites, including the Donald School of Business and the Welikoklad Event Centre. It also averages 30,000 online and extension students each year. bkossowan@reddeeradvocate.com

of its space.

Hanes said space was first leased about 15 years ago. The new location, which has not yet been decided, will be just for the legion.

“A lot of our veterans are older and I’m hoping that if we don’t have to spend so much time worrying about getting the building filled and busy that we would have more time to go out and visit our veterans in their own home or senior homes.”

She said the new site will definitely have a lounge and space for its sports programs that include carpet bowling, shuffle board and darts. Interest in the sports will likely grow in the future when the legion finds a new location.

Hanes said the legion is a comfortable place for people to meet where they can sit and relax and just have coffee. And they don’t have to be veterans to join.

“Any Canadian citizen can be a member. If you’re not, we have a book at the front desk, and you just have to sign in.”

The Legion has a canteen that offers meals and drinks, and also runs Molly B’s Lounge, which is open to the public.

The legion building and property are listed for $7,495,000 with Century 21. szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com

While they are proud home team supporters, Marina is originally from London so she will be throwing some of her support behind the Knights if the Rebels get eliminated.

Kelly Wells said this tournament will put Red Deer on the map and showcase Red Deer’s sportsmanship and true spirit.

Mayor Tara Veer told the crowd that not only is hockey a Canadian game, it is Red Deer’s game. She encouraged the 150 attendees to have fun and enjoy the events at Fan Fest and Molson Canadian Hockey House and throughout the city for the next 10 days.

Fan Fest is open four hours before the puck drops and is free to the public everyday in Parkland Pavilion in Westerner Park. The Molson Canadian Hockey House is open post-game. Featured acts include Brett Kissel (May 20), 9 Second Ride (May 21); Kelly Taylor and The Mud Men (May 22); Kelly Taylor and Bryan Trottier (May 23); Medisinal (May 24) and St. James’ Gate (May 25).

Canada routs Sweden to advance to semis

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Canada 6 Sweden 0 ST. PETERSBURG, Russia — After being thoroughly outclassed in its last round-robin game, Canada put its title defence back on track at the world hockey championship with a lopsided 6-0 quarter-final win over Sweden on Thursday.

Mark Scheifele and Mark Stone each had a goal and two assists as Canadians rebounded from a 4-0 shutout loss in their round-robin finale against Finland on Tuesday.

“We were all disappointed in our play in the Finland game,” said defenceman Matt Dumba after the win.

“We knew at the end of the day, that really meant nothing. We were still going to play three games and we had to take care of business against the Swedes.”

The Canadians, who finished second in Group B with a 6-1 record, got back to their winning ways against the Swedes (3-2-2), who had finished in third place in Group A. “Unfortunately for them, we played a great game tonight,” Dumba said.

“They played us hard for the first bit.

We were just kind of overbearing and imposed our will on them.”

Canada will face the United States in Saturday’s semifinals. Canada beat the Americans 5-1 in its opening game of the round-robin.

Dumba, Brad Marchand, Max Domi and Derick Brassard also scored for Canada, while Cam Talbot made 24 saves for his tournament-leading third shutout.

Jacob Markstrom made 28 saves for Sweden.

Scheifele opened the scoring, deflecting a rippling point shot by Ryan O’Reilly over Markstrom’s shoulder with 1:21 left to play in the first period.

Canada broke the game open in the second with three goals on eight shots against an underprotected Markstrom.

Dumba picked up his first goal of the tournament on the power play at 6:05 while Andre Burakovsky was serving minor and misconduct penalties for an illegal check to the head of Canadian defenceman Cody Ceci.

“Stoney just made a great play off the wall, buying me a little time, and I was able to get to the middle,” Dumba said. “Hallsy (Taylor Hall) put a screen on the goalie. I don’t think he saw it. It didn’t really have anything to do with me, I was just trying to get it there.”

Canada’s Max Domi, centre, celebrates his goal to Sweden’s goalie Jacob Markstrom during the Hockey World Championships quarterfinal match between Canada and Sweden in St.Petersburg, Russia, Thursday.

“It was a huge goal, big-time goal,” added head coach Bill Peters. “The power play wasn’t smooth up to that point. It was very deep in the power play when we scored, so I like the play on that one and then on Marchie’s goal, Dumba shot the puck again.

“He’s a young guy who skates well and he’s got a heavy shot. He used it to his advantage and helped our team tonight.”

Marchand’s third goal of the tournament at 12:02 put Canada up 3-0, prompting Swedish coach Par Marts to call time out to help his team regroup, but little-used Canadian forwards Domi and Sam Reinhart combined to put Canada up 4-0 just 11 seconds after the subsequent faceoff at centre ice.

Stone and Brassard added goals in the third.

Connor McDavid, who collected

seven assists during the preliminary round, had a glorious chance to pick up his first goal of the tournament midway through the second period. He deked Swedish defenceman Adam Larsson and bore down on Markstrom, who challenged aggressively to make the save and send McDavid tumbling headover-heels into the net.

After his first sub-par performance of the tournament against Finland on Tuesday, Talbot delivered on his promise to be better in the playoff round. His most crucial saves came early in the first period and when the Swedes came out pressing to start the third.

The Canadians also survived a long six-on-three disadvantage just over five minutes into the third. Brendan Gallagher and Morgan Rielly took penalties seven seconds apart, then the

Swedes also pulled Markstrom for an extra attacker in a last-ditch attempt to get back into the game.

“You don’t see that too often, but our guys did an unbelievable job,” Talbot said. “I can’t say enough about how well (the defence) kept the puck to the outside and made some huge blocks in front of me.”

In earlier action on Thursday, top-ranked Finland dispatched Denmark by a score of 5-1 in St. Petersburg, while Auston Matthews was the shootout hero as the United States upset the Czech Republic 2-1. In the late game in Moscow, Russia got two goals from tournament leading scorer Vadim Shipachyov on their way to a 4-1 victory over Germany.

Both of Saturday’s semifinals will be in Moscow, with Russia and Finland facing off in the other game.

Sharks shutout Blues for second straight game

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Sharks 3 Blues 0 SAN JOSE, Calif. — Martin Jones made 22 saves in his second straight shutout and Tomas Hertl scored twice to give the San Jose Sharks a series lead for the first time in four trips to the Western Conference final with a 3-0 victory over the St. Louis Blues in Game 3 on Thursday night.

Joonas Donskoi also scored to give the Sharks a 2-1 series advantage and move them as close as they have ever been to reaching their first Stanley Cup final. San Jose had won just three games in its first three trips to the conference final, part of a long history of playoff disappointment that is showing signs of coming to an end this season.

San Jose has controlled the play for much of this series, limiting St. Louis’ chances and taking advantage of miscues by the Blues to generate enough offence. St. Louis has gone 150:45 without scoring since Jori Lehtera’s sec-

STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS ond-period goal in Game 1 led to a 2-1 victory.

Game 4 is Saturday in San Jose, where the Sharks have won six straight playoff games.

Brian Elliott allowed three goals on 14 shots before being pulled midway through the third.

The Blues now find themselves trailing a series for just the second time this post-season. Overcoming this deficit may be tougher than coming back last round after losing the opener to Dallas.

While the Stars were leaky on defence and rotated between two mostly ineffective goalies, the Sharks have done a stellar job defending in front of Jones, who has been sharp in his first post-season as a starter.

After allowing the soft goal to Lehtera that led to the Game 1 loss, Jones

Murray Crawford, Sports Reporter, 403-314-4338 E-mail mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com

has been perfect the past two games.

He has stopped 58 straight shots and has posted the first back-to-back playoff shutouts in Sharks history.

That kind of goaltending and another dominant performance from Joe Thornton’s line was more than enough for San Jose. That line scored twice, with the first coming off a St. Louis turnover late in the first.

Colton Parayko’s breakout pass to Lehtera was broken up in the neutral zone by Brent Burns. Thornton quickly sent the loose puck ahead to Joe Pavelski, who found Hertl for a big slap shot that beat Elliott high to the glove side to make it 1-0 late in the period.

Hertl scored again early in the third off a perfect pass from Thornton, ending Elliott’s night.

team get outplayed the first two games.

Centers Alexander Steen and Lehtera switched lines and Magnus Paajarvi and Dmitrij Jaskin suited up on the fourth line in place of Steve Ott and Scottie Upshall. On defence, Robert Bortuzzo got the nod in place of Joel Edmundson and Parayko moved up to the second pair with Kevin Shattenkirk.

The Blues looked faster early and had the better of the play at the start, holding the Sharks without a shot on goal for more than eight minutes. But St. Louis seemed to lose some steam after Hertl’s first goal.

Matters only got worse in the second period. Donskoi broke up a pass from Robby Fabbri midway through the second to start an odd-man rush. Logan Couture skated into the offensive zone on a 3-on-2 chance and fed the trailing Donskoi for the wrist shot from the slot that made it 2-0.

Jones has three shutouts in the past four games, also doing it in Game 7 in the second round against Nashville.

2016 Stanley Cup Playoffs Third Round CONFERENCE FINALS (Best-of-7)

Cavaliers 108 Raptors 89 CLEVELAND — Toronto Raptors’ better effort Thursday still wasn’t enough against LeBron James and his undefeated Cleveland Cavaliers.

James had a triple double with 23 points, 11 assists, and 11 rebounds to power the Cavaliers 108-89 past Toronto, sending the Raptors home trailing 2-0 in their Eastern Conference final debut.

The Cavs have yet to lose in 10 post-season games.

DeMar DeRozan topped Toronto with 22 points, while Terrence Ross, Cory Joseph and James Johnson chipped in with 11 points apiece. Raptors all-star guard Kyle Lowry, who was so solid down the stretch of the semifinal series against Miami, had a rough shooting night, en route to just 10 points on 4-for-14 shooting. He was just 1-for-8 from three-point range.

James’ big night, meanwhile, propelled him past Shaquille O’Neal for fourth place on the all-time post-season scoring list.

Coming off Tuesday’s humiliating 115-84 loss in Game 1, Raptors coach Dwane Casey said the Raptors would have to “out-work and out-scrap” the Cavaliers. They did for the better part of a first half that saw the lead change hands 11 times.

But a woeful final three-and-a-half minutes of the first half proved lethal as Toronto missed nine straight shots to fall behind by 14. They would never make up that ground, and trailed the Cavs 86-69 with one quarter to play.

Cleveland couldn’t miss down the stretch and when James threaded a bounce pass to Channing Frye with six minutes to play, the Cavs led by 18.

A J.R. Smith three-pointer two minutes later had the home team up by 19, sending fans headed to the exits to beat the traffic.

While the Raptors won two-of-three games versus Cleveland in the regular season, the Cavaliers are the overwhelming favourites to win a series that Charles Barkley described as “guppies versus sharks.”

The Quicken Loans Arena, painted in gold “All In” T-shirts, included New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., and six-time NBA MVP Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

The Cavaliers raced out to an eightpoint lead and it looked like the Raptors were in for another long night, but a three by Ross capped a 9-0 run that put Toronto in the lead. Cleveland led 30-28 to end the first quarter.

The wheels fell off midway through the second, as the Cavs ended the quarter on a 20-5 run. Cleveland led 6248 at halftime.

ASDC ATHLETE OF THE MONTH Hooker for both the Red Deer Titans U18 boys team and the Hunting Hills High School rugby teams, Connor Hurlburt has been named the Alberta Sports Development Centre — Central male athlete of the month.

The 17-year-old is in Grade 11 at Hunting Hills and has played with the Titans for the past three years.

He committed himself to the Titans

“school of rugby” in the off-season where he impressed with his strength and skill development.

Once completing his school season this month, he will transition to the Titans club rugby for province-wide competition this summer. Hurlburt wants to represent Alberta in national competitions and continue playing rugby at the post-secondary level.

Jays take down Twins in extra innings to snap losing streak

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Blue Jays 3 Twins 2 MINNEAPOLIS — Troy Tulowitzki drove in the go-ahead run with a twoout, two-strike single in the 11th inning Thursday night, and the Toronto Blue Jays stopped a five-game losing streak with a 3-2 comeback victory over the Minnesota Twins.

Edwin Encarnacion’s two-run home run tied the game in the sixth for the only big hit during a duel between Marco Estrada and Ervin Santana, who pitched eight innings apiece. Estrada and Roberto Osuna (2-0) held the Twins hitless from the fourth through the 10th, and Joe Biagini worked the 11th inning for his first save.

Ryan Pressly (1-3) gave up the oneout single to Encarnacion in the top of the 11th that set up the winning run, and Tulowitzki delivered against Fernando Abad to send the Twins to their 16th loss in the last 19 games.

Tulowitzki nearly gave the Blue Jays the lead in the ninth, but centre fielder Danny Santana made a leaping catch of the long drive on the warning track to retire the side with a runner on second. As Santana slammed against the wall to stop his momentum, reliever Kevin Jepsen raised both arms in appreciation.

Then in the 10th inning, Jimmy Paredes hit a leadoff double against Brandon Kintzler, who responded with three straight groundouts. Shortstop Eduardo Nunez saved the go-ahead

run with a diving stop of Jose Bautista’s bouncer and quick pivot as he jumped to his feet and made the throw to first in time.

Ervin Santana, who sat out two-plus weeks because of a lower back strain, stumbled in his first start off the disabled list. His last two turns have been much sharper, giving the reeling Twins some hope for their rotation.

The right-hander has allowed nine hits and three runs over 14 innings with 10 strikeouts in that span.

Escaping a two-on, one-out situation in the first, Santana retired 13 consecutive batters and cruised into the sixth until a one-out walk to Josh Donaldson. Encarnacion followed, and with one whipsaw swing on a first-pitch fastball that caught too much of the plate, the dangerous designated hitter tied the game.

The ball landed in the second deck above left field, seemingly as quickly as it travelled from the mound to the plate. Encarnacion has seven homers and 18 RBIs with a .329 batting average in 20 career games at Target Field.

Estrada was even better than Santana, but the right-hander was stuck with his fourth straight no-decision. He’s receiving a paltry average of 2 ½ runs per game over eight starts this season.

Paredes, who joined the Blue Jays this week after being claimed off waivers from Baltimore, committed a damaging error in the first inning when he let a groundball through his legs with one out and Brian Dozier on first. Dozier eventually scored on a sacrifice fly.

THE QUIRKY HEART OF HOUSTON A HOMETOWN GIRL VIEWS THE U.S.’S FOURTH LARGEST CITY WITH A VISITOR’S EYES, RATHER THAN THOSE OF A HARD-TO-IMPRESS SUBURBAN YOUTH

BY KATE SILVER ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES HOUSTON - The shimmery bungalow, set back a bit from sunny Malone Street in Houston’s Rice Military neighborhood, looks as though it’s covered in dangly metallic fur, like an aluminum Snuffleupagus. Aptly named the Beer Can House, it took an estimated 50,000 beer cans and a dedicated — if thirsty — upcycler to cover the home with this unique interpretation of aluminum siding.

A tall docent with a booming voice welcomes me as I approach the front gate (made of beer cans, of course) and invites me in. Now that I’m a can’s throw from the house, with its mosaic of beer can parts — flattened aluminum strips from the cans here, circular bottoms there, garlands of lids everywhere — I’m less awed than incredulous. Behind my “Yep, it really is all covered in beer cans!” smile is a nagging question: “Why?” The docent fills in some blanks, explaining that the can collector, John Milkovisch, was an upholsterer for the railroad. In 1968, he began this project, and he wouldn’t stop until he died two decades later. His original plan was to cover the domicile in leather, the docent tells me, but he couldn’t get enough of the material. So he opted for an abundant Texas resource: beer cans. He used every part of the can — tab to tail, if you will.

As an aside, she explains that he also got tired of mowing the lawn, so he covered it in concrete and stone, embellished with his marble collection, which numbered well into the thousands. She motions to a rusty old wheelbarrow in the yard — nicknamed “the Culprit” — and says John used it to haul rocks here from the nearby rail yard. His wife, Mary, was supportive — to a point. She reportedly told him

3

that he could do what he wanted with the outside of the house, but the inside was hers. Over the years, he and Mary drank a lot of beer and created this aluminum beast, which served as an insulated, energy-efficient home. One that John would never have to paint again.

I tour the grounds, peeking inside the house at a documentary about its creation and admiring the museumlike displays hanging from the interior walls — “Budweiser curtain from south wall of house c. 1980.” But the question remains.

And then I see this quote from John stenciled on the wall: “I don’t consider this art. It’s just a pastime. But sometimes I lie awake at night, trying to figure out why I do it.” ★★★ I saw no T-shirts or bumper stickers requesting that people “Keep Houston Weird” like the ones in Austin.

But there’s no shortage of beautiful weirdness in the country’s fourth-largest city. This is, after all, where I developed my own affinity for the quirky, growing up in the Houston suburb of Clear Lake.

It’s been about 20 years since I left for college in the Midwest. I’ve watched from my home in Chicago as Houston tops best-of lists for affordability, culture, business and other categories. Every time I go home, I make it a priority to view the city with a visitor’s eyes, rather than those of a hardto-impress suburban youth. And every visit, I’m drawn to something that fits snugly in the offbeat category. Like the time Linda Lay, wife of former Enron chairman Kenneth Lay, briefly opened Jus’ Stuff, a secondhand store that sold many of the belongings they’d acquired at their estates.

STORIES FROM PAGE B1

HOUSTON: Explore by foot (This happened in 2002 after Enron filed for bankruptcy.) I bought the cheapest thing I could find: a tacky wooden Santa Claus wearing a cowboy hat that sold for $15.

On this visit, after touring the Beer Can House, I head to the Art Car Museum, another ode to idiosyncrasy conveniently located just two miles away. Houston, it turns out, claims the world’s largest collection of “art cars,” that is, vehicles that double as functioning art. A couple of classic cars are on display at the small museum, but what really catches my fancy is a documentary that’s showing on nine stacked televisions. In the film, several car artists are discussing their creations. The roof of one vehicle is covered in a miniature version of the New York City skyline. Another looks like a hippopotamus lurking in the street. My favorite is the car an artist covered in soil and seed so it sprouted like a giant Chia-mobile. “It’s like a living thing,” he says earnestly. I make a mental note to plan my next Houston trip around the annual Art Car Parade, held each spring. It’s the largest gathering of its kind in the world. ★★★ To get the full Houston visitor’s experience — and to continue on my offbeat journey — I’d reserved a room for a night at Sara’s Inn in the Heights, an artsy, walkable neighborhood northwest of downtown, filled with Arts and Crafts bungalows and enormous Victorian homes. When I booked the room, I got to choose from a list of regional themes: Dallas, Austin, Galveston and even a tiny Paris, Texas, room that sleeps one. I opted for Fort Worth — one of my favorite Texas towns — and, true to the Wild West character of Cowtown, the bathroom wallpaper is speckled with floating guns, cowboy boots, cowboy hats and ropes, with different types of barbed wire displayed on the wall art by the bed.

After dropping off my bags, I’m determined to spend the afternoon walking around the neighborhood. Much of Houston was built without giving much thought to pedestrians, but a few neighborhoods, including the Heights, are an exception, and I’m eager to explore by foot. So I stride past the Victorian-style inn’s lazy, wraparound porch and cross over busy Heights Boulevard, admiring the well-trafficked Paul Carr Jogging Trail that cuts through the median. I wind my way about a mile through the neighborhood to Hello-Lucky, a little shop inside what appears to be an old home that’s filled

with darling jewelry, bags and T-shirts (like the armadillo silk-screen T-shirt I buy that says “Texas-ness”) made by local artists. I chat with the owner, Teresa O’Connor, who suggests I also visit another patch of local shops on 19th Street, so I walk about two miles to get there. (She suggested using Uber to get there before the shops close, but I’m obsessing on the whole walking theme.) Awaiting me is a chain-storefree zone, with blocks and blocks of shops, including vintage stores (Replay and Retropolis), a manly hipster mart (Manready Mercantile) and even a sassy, frilly cowgirl shop (Jubilee). I browse a bit and then head back to my hotel to rest, pleased to have sore feet in a city where driving, not walking, dominated my youth.

I meet a friend for dinner a couple of blocks away at Eight Row Flint, a gas-station-turned-bar specializing in the holy Texas trinity of whiskey, beer and tacos. We grab seats on the patio (in February!) and order cocktails, Brussels sprout tacos and beef cheek tacos. The beef cheek tacos are delicious, but the Brussels sprout ones, with their smoky char and tender-crisp bite, immediately raise the question: Why are all tacos not Brussels sprout tacos?

The next day, my parents drive up from their home in the ‘burbs and meet me in the city at one of their favorite lunch spots: Brennan’s of Houston. The “Texas Creole” restaurant has Louisiana-meets-Lone Star flair, with items such as Louisiana crawfish enchiladas and Texas Creole seafood gumbo. I opt for one of the more eyebrow-raising dishes: chicken-fried country rabbit. It’s hearty and does, indeed, taste like chicken, if that chicken was pounded, fried and topped with an egg and duck giblet gravy. I have no problem inhaling the entire dish, along with a couple of 25-cent martinis (they were small, don’t judge), before helping my dad eat his Mississippi mud pie.

As my designated driver (my mom) gets us home, ending the tourist portion of my adventure, we pass a series of chemical plants and refineries - many of which employed my dad when I was growing up - and I admire a series of murals that color the gargantuan oil and chemical storage tanks. It’s known as the EpicArt project, and the handful of photographic reenacted scenes, spaced miles apart, depict the Battle of San Jacinto. (That’s the battle in which Texas won independence from Mexico.)

For any native Houstonian, the oil that’s built this city (not to mention the smells of the chemical plants that swaddle the greater Houston area) is as much a part of its history as any military battle. That the murals rise before us, Texas-size, amid a farm of giant oil storage tanks, feels about as lovably, artistically and weirdly Houston as it gets.

Lake, hikes and history VISITORS CAN FIND SERENE SURROUNDINGS AT SASKATCHEWAN LANDING PROVINCIAL PARK

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS STEWART VALLEY, Sask. — Big lake. Big views. Big country.

That’s how Dave Silversides sees the 5,735 hectares of Saskatchewan Landing Provincial Park, which straddles the west end of Lake Diefenbaker. “A person could feel small here,� said Silversides, who is also the park manager.

Saskatchewan Landing Provincial Park is in Stewart Valley, about 50 kilometres north of Swift Current in southwest Saskatchewan. As you head north on Highway 4 from Swift Current, the park comes into view.

Coulees, which are like a series of ridges or hills leading down into the valley, rise out of the prairie. The lake stretches in front, beckoning boaters. “I don’t even want to use the word ‘rolling’ because you’ve got to be practically a mountain goat to get up some of these things,� Silversides said of the coulees.

The serene surroundings belie the fact that Saskatchewan Landing was once a bustling Metis river crossing.

But the story is there, from the Red River carts used to cross the river in the 1800s, to the ruts left by those carts, to the teepee rings, trails and Goodwin House.

Goodwin House, which was built in 1897 by Frank Goodwin, a former North West Mounted Police officer, is a large stone building that sits near the edge of the lake.

Silversides says when the house was built, Saskatchewan Landing became more of a stopping area and the house a bit of a hotel.

Twenty-five years ago, it was restored and turned into a visitor and interpretive centre. “Before that it hadn’t, like most farmhouses, been lived in for several years, decades, and it was getting pretty dilapidated,� said Silversides.

A celebration marking its reopening is planned for July 16.

It’s a good place to stop, soak in the vastness of the park and get a geocaching or a trail guide.

Then lace up your shoes for the 2.6-kilometre Rings, Ruts and Remnants trail or the 3.5-kilometre hike to the lookout on the Prairie Vista trail.

The guide does caution that the 1.2-kilometre Ridges and Ravines hike has a sharp decline that could be difficult for some hikers.

But Silversides says, for him, the lake is the lure. “We’re on Lake Diefenbaker, which is one of the No. 1 recreational and fishing lakes in the province. Whether it’s fishing, boating, whatever, the lake is a big draw, of course.�

There’s a beach where people can catch some rays.

There are campsites where people can catch some rest.

And there’s the lake, where people can catch 11 different species of game fish. The website www.lakediefenbakertourism.com boasts that there have been several world record-breaking

The marina, on the north side of the lake, rents fishing boats, pedal boats and kayaks.

There’s also an 18-hole golf course and a mini-golf course.

Silversides says the area has been a very popular spot for hundreds of years and it’s easy to see why. “The history here is very interesting ‌ the scenery, the countryside, you just don’t see that in too many places,â€? he said.

If You Go‌ Saskatchewan Landing Provincial Park is about two hours and 45 minutes west of Regina. Head east along the Trans Canada Highway to Swift Current, then north on Highway 4 for about half an hour.

FITNESS FRIDAY, MAY 20, 2016

Lesson learned from a DNF CRYSTAL RHYNO RUNNING WITH RHYNO I have a confession.

You won’t find my name on the 2013 official race results for Woody’s 10K but I was there. Only a few of my friends have heard my incredibly embarrassing story. Time has passed and I am finally ready to share hoping that someone will learn from my mistakes (and neurotic behaviour).

Let’s go back three years ….

I am seconds away from the start of the 10K. I am surrounded by happy, shiny runners. So many thoughts are running through my head.

I would run my first 50K trail race in a week’s time. I was worried that running a short and fast road race

would put me on the injury reserve list and on the sidelines for the rest of the season.

At the same time I didn’t want to put up a slow time. My personal record for the 10K is 48 minutes. I wasn’t doing much speed training because I am a student of running long and slow when distance training.

As I looked around at the other runners, I suddenly got it in my head that I would challenge my PR time.

Adrenaline fueled my reckless abandon. I charged the starting line at a pace that I could in no way possible sustain for 10K. I can’t tell you what my pace was because my Garmin died a few kilometres into the race. I just remember freaking out and cursing for making a rookie mistake – forgetting to charge my Garmin.

Of course not knowing my pace messed with my head. I had no idea how fast or slow I was running. I felt sick to my stomach. I may have even

puked. (My memory is foggy.) I started to walk and I avoided eye contact with the runners who passed me.

After a while, I started to run again but I just couldn’t find my running groove. I convinced myself I would pass out if I ran another step.

Eventually I walked (crawled) to the aid station on Riverside Drive, where I explained in a not-at-all calm voice that I was on the brink of death. With my head between my knees, I hid behind the table at the aid station. (I didn’t want to see anyone I knew.)

A volunteer drove me to finish line.

Feeling better, I went straight over to the timing booth to beg, plead and cry to have my name scratched from the official race results.

I couldn’t face the humiliation of having a DNF for a 10K race. Looking back now, I know it was my nerves that had me rattled and running crazy.

Woody’s is only two sleeps away and I know some of you reading this may be also be feeling a little nervous.

Racing is supposed to be fun. But it can also be overwhelming for the first timer or the experienced runner who is chasing a new time or distance goal.

A lot can go wrong, but a lot can go right in a race. Not every race is supposed to be your personal best.

Some of my best races have been with friends who have run their first race or when I did not give up when times were tough.

The best piece of running advice I ever received was to smile, and smile often. Smile at the runner who passes you (and the ones you pass but not in an asshole way.) Smile at the volunteers. Smile when times are tough.

Smile for the camera.

And charge your Garmin the night before your race. ******* Find Running with Rhyno on Facebook and @CrystalRhyno on Twitter and Instagram. Send your column ideas, photos and stories to crhyno@reddeeradvocate.com.

Hormone may hold clue to weight loss “IN OTHER WORDS, IT HELPS YOU TO CONTROL YOUR BLOOD SUGAR. FROM A DIABETES PERSPECTIVE IT COULD POTENTIALLY HAVE A HUGE IMPACT.”

pharmaceutical companies are taking a big interest in the hormone in the hopes of developing new drugs for diabetes.

“How it’s going to help us is to design better intervention for people

that are overweight or obese or at risk for Type 2 diabetes,” he said.

Senechal said it’s too early to know if someday people might be able to take supplements of irisin to help lose weight.

Same purpose.

New platform.

— MARTIN SENECHAL

FREDERICTON — People struggling to lose weight might one day be able to find help in a simple blood test that tells them how effective exercise is for them, a New Brunswick researcher says.

“The rule of one (weight loss) plan fits all doesn’t apply anymore. We have to be more precise than that. That’s exactly what we’re trying to do here,” Martin Senechal said Tuesday.

The University of New Brunswick kinesiology professor has launched a study on irisin, a recently discovered hormone released by muscles during exercise.

Irisin was discovered at Harvard Medical School in 2012.

Senechal said irisin increases the number of calories that are burned, and also helps control blood sugar levels - though it’s unclear if the amount of hormone released varies from person to person.

“That’s what we’re trying to test here,” he said.

Exercise always has benefits, but Senechal hopes to be able to identify people who should prioritize other options for weight loss.

“When you think about physical activity, it’s a science. It should be individualized and that’s what we’re

trying to do here,” he said.

Senechal’s research team is looking for 30 people, between the ages of 19 to 35 and over 60, who carry extra body weight.

“We’re having people who are going to do weight lifting exercise sessions and we’re going to measure that hormone,” he said.

“We’re looking at comparing younger people against older people.

“They are going to have exactly the same fitness level or the same obesity level.”

The volunteers’ blood will be tested at various times during three exercise sessions. Senechal said he wants to know how much of the hormone is released, and whether it peaks during or after the exercise.

Senechal said one of the health benefits of the hormone is the enhancement of what’s called glucose metabolism.

“In other words, it helps you to control your blood sugar. From a diabetes perspective it could potentially have a huge impact,” he said.

Summer means grill, but why not add some smoke?

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Summer’s on its way and that means grilling for many people, so why not try smoking? Steven Raichlen, who wrote The Barbecue! Bible, has followed with Project Smoke, also the name of a PBS series he hosts that will launch its second season over Memorial Day weekend.

“By now, in 2016, most people know how to grill, and even if they don’t know how to grill and they have the Y chromosome, they think they know how to do it,” he said . “Smoking is not something that most people grew up doing, so there is a learning curve and there’s an intimidation factor, but once you do it, can give you satisfaction.”

The step-by-step book, out this month from Workman Publishing, covers gear, technique, recipes and the science behind the cooking method that Raichlen shows can be used on everything from appetizers to dessert.

“Basically every grill works the

same. Charcoal may need a little more care with heat control, and gas you need a little more care in how to boost the flavour, but each smoker operates a little bit differently,” he said. “You can be convenience-oriented or get as nerdy as you want to be.”

A conversation with Steven Raichlen: Associated Press: What are the biggest misconceptions among home cooks about smoking?

Raichlen: Maybe the first is that you need a heavy-duty smoker to do it. In fact, it’s easy to smoke on a charcoal kettle grill, for example.

I think another misconception is that smoking has to be very time-consuming.

While it’s true that to smoke a brisket or a pork shoulder, you are looking at the better part of a day, there are many quick smoking techniques. For example, in Italy they smoke mozzarella using hay. The process maybe takes five minutes. Another misconception is that all smoked foods are barbecued.

That is certainly not the case. All good barbecue is infused with wood smoke.

Land Use Bylaw Amendment 3357/I-2016 Timber Ridge (Phase 5)north of 55 street, west of Tomlinson Avenue and south of Teasdale Drive.

Proposed redesignation of a +4.081 hectare (+10.08 acre) area within the remainder of the SE ¼ Sec 23; 38-27-W4M in the Timber Ridge neighbourhood from A1 Future Urban Development District to R3 Residential (Multiple Family) District (1.453 ha), and C5 Commercial (Mixed Use) District (2.628 ha)

That’s its very nature, but there are a lot of smoked dishes that are not barbecue. Think of smoked salmon, think of smoked cheese. These are very traditional smoked dishes.

AP: What about smoking indoors?

Raichlen: You can smoke indoors.

There are a variety of indoor smokers that work on your stovetop. Two that I feature in the book are the Cameron Stovetop Smoker cooker and the Nordic Ware Kettle Smoker.

Another tool that I use a lot in the book is what’s called a hand-held smoking device. Kind of the most famous brand is the Smoking Gun by PolyScience. It’s sort of like a reverse bong that you fill with hardwood sawdust instead of you know what. That’s great for smoking cocktails. You can use it for smoking ice cream.

AP: Can you smoke anything?

Raichlen: That’s really another misconception, that all smoked foods are either meat or fish, but in fact the realm of smoked foods is enormous. It stretches from appetizers to desserts.

AP: You call smoking the new grilling. What evidence do you have to back that up?

Raichlen: Many, many pieces of evidence. One, if you look at grill and smoker sales statistics. Pellet grills and pellet smokers, the sales are going through the roof. That’s probably the fastest growing segment. Big Green Egg, that’s another company that’s enjoyed double-digit growth for the last 10 years. Things like wood sales are up. Ten years ago, smoking was more a regional phenomenon. It was done a lot in the American South, in Texas, in the Midwest. Now it really is going mainstream.

AP: Do you have a general philosophy about smoke?

Raichlen: I like to think of smoke as the umami of barbecue. What I mean by that is umami flavours from Asia. You find them in seaweed, you find them in Asian fish sauce, soy sauce, mushrooms, Parmesan cheese. These are rich, earthy flavours that are called the Fifth Taste

THE ADVOCATE Friday, May 20, 2016

A cautionary tale for political advisers WARREN KINSELLA OPINION

M

eet Ben Rhodes, Deputy National Security Advisor for Strategic Communications to the President of the United States of America.

Or, as he was recently described in a headline in Foreign Policy magazine, an asshole.

That’s a quote. “Asshole.” Foreign Policy — that most revered and reserved of publications, the sine qua non of the U.S. diplomatic and bureaucratic classes, used the epithet on one of the most powerful unelected people on the planet. In a headline, too.

That’s not all. Foreign Policy also called Rhodes “an overweening little schmuck.”

In the days since New York Times Magazine published a 10,000-word magnum opus about Rhodes, lots of other bon mots have been flung his way, too.

That he’s an out-of-control egomaniac, that he’s a serial manipulator, that he’s an inexperienced adolescent — and, most ominously (for him), that he oversaw a Machiavellian conspiracy that “duped the American public into accepting a nuclear deal with Iran.”

That last one should give Rhodes and his boss and their respective law-

yers pause, of course, because it nudges them perilously closer to what Dubya got with his imaginary weapons of mass destruction in neighbouring Iraq. You know: congressional hearings, threats of impeachment, an unrelentingly hostile media, and a war-opposing African American in the White House. It was bad.

Obama and Rhodes are months away from the end of their time in the White House, however, so perhaps the Republicans and the press will give them a pass. The former is shortly heading off to write his memoirs and give pricey speeches, while the former is heading back to what he did before.

Which is, wait for it, writing short stories. (We’re not making this up. That’s what Ben Rhodes did, actually. He was a creative writing major when Obama recruited him to be a speechwriter on his 2007 campaign.)

But the Rhodes profile in the Times is a cautionary tale for political staffers everywhere, even in far-away Ottawa. Because, in it, Rhodes gave writer David Samuels extraordinary access — and he was extraordinarily candid.

Rhodes told Samuels, on the record, that the press corps are “27-year-olds … who literally know nothing.” He called the entirety of the foreign policy establishment — including Hillary Clinton — “the Blob.” He said he had created an “echo chamber” of talking heads who say “what we [have] given them to say.” He said some of his colleagues “can’t keep a secret for two

hours.” He said – and, again, this is a quote — “I don’t know anymore where I begin and Obama ends.”

Sound familiar?

Sound, say, like not a few “senior strategists” who have blown into town on the wings of someone else’s election victory, achieved unprecedented powers, and then frittered it all away with an ill-advised sit-down with someone like David Samuels?

It happens all the time. A senior staffer succumbs to the siren song of some scheming media inquisitor — You’re so influential! The bureaucracy and caucus respect you so! How did you get so close to The Leader? Was that your words I detected in that wonderful speech/policy/year-end interview?

Inevitably, they come to profoundly regret it. The newspaper containing the profile piece thuds against their door early one morning, they shuffle to get it in their slippers, they scan it, they frown. They start frantically texting friends: “Do you think it’s bad?

Does it create a problem for the boss?

Should I demand a correction?”

Take my word for it, having previously taken a celebrated trip to the burn unit myself: it’s almost always bad. It creates a problem for the boss.

And a correction won’t undo the damage.

It doesn’t matter if the profile is highly critical, or highly laudatory, either. If it’s critical, the staffer will anger the boss, caucus and colleagues.

If it’s too complimentary — as in the Rhodes case — it stirs up jealousy and anonymous back-biting. Either way, it’s not good.

In the Harper era, few staffers would be foolish enough to agree to Rhodes-style profiling, so few ever did.

The boss didn’t like it, at all.

In the Trudeau era, the press profile pendulum has swung wildly in the opposite direction: The new crew are big fans of behind-the-scenes stuff, to the extent that we know more about them than we do about most members of cabinet. No major decision seems to go unaccompanied by a subsequent tell-all about the strategic machinations that preceded it.

Is that ever a good idea? Well, ask Ben Rhodes. After the New York Times Magazine published, Rhodes disappeared. Vanished. His colleagues in the press office, meanwhile, started hand-delivering doughnuts to the media. Asked about what Rhodes said, White House press secretary John Earnest admitted that Rhodes would now “say it differently if he had the chance.”

Ben Rhodes won’t get the chance.

He’s done like dinner. So, remember the cautionary tale that will forever be appended to his name, Ottawa staffers.

To make it easy, you could clip that Foreign Policy headline, and pop it in your wallet.

Pro-LNG pipeline test poses test for Trudeau

BY DEAN PELKEY SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE

W

hen it comes to major infrastructure projects such as pipelines, much is made about how proponents must obtain “social licence” — support for a project from the people who live in or near the project’s location.

During last year’s federal election, the Liberals stated: “While governments grant permits for resource development, only communities can grant permission.” But as critics have pointed out, who decides when social licence is granted?

Which brings us to Fort St. John in British Columbia’s Peace River region, where an interesting experiment in demonstrating social licence is unfolding.

Fort St. John has long been the hub for B.C.’s natural gas sector, servicing the gas fields and assorted pipelines that feed the resource to homes and businesses across the province. It is to B.C.’s natural gas industry what Fort McMurray is to Alberta’s oilsands.

But the collapse in oil and gas prices has battered Fort St. John. Jobs RED DEER

have dried up and unemployment has soared. That’s left the community looking at B.C.’s proposed liquefied natural gas export industry as a source of future prosperity. In particular, they want the federal government to approve the PETRONAS-backed Pacific NorthWest LNG project, a planned $36-billion export terminal to be built near Prince Rupert that would source its natural gas from the region surrounding Fort St. John.

However, the project is snarled in regulatory red tape, awaiting an environmental certificate. Once the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency completes its review, expected in June, it will be up to the federal cabinet to give the project its final approval.

But rather than quietly waiting for Ottawa’s decision, Fort St. John residents are coming together, boldly and loudly declaring their support for PNW LNG, in effect granting social licence.

It began with the formation of a group, FSJ for LNG, a Facebook page, and a truck rally in March that featured more than 600 trucks adorned with signs and placards in support of LNG development parading down News News tips 403-314-4333 Sports line 403-343-2244 News fax 403-341-6560 Sports editor 403-314-4363

the Alaska Hwy. They followed that with public rallies, including one in April attended by B.C. Premier Christy Clark. Now they plan to travel to Ottawa, along with supporters from Fort Nelson and Prince Rupert, to deliver a petition supporting LNG development and reinforce the community support.

Local politicians are also on side.

Fort St. John Mayor Lori Ackerman travelled to Ottawa with a group of northern B.C. mayors in April, meeting with key Liberal ministers to make the case for a B.C. LNG industry. FSJ for LNG has the support of Liberal MLA Pat Pimm and Conservative MP Bob Zimmer.

The FSJ for LNG organizers say they need to make their voices heard; they need to show Ottawa that the community supports and wants the LNG projects. “It’s about time the federal decision makers hear the voice of the unemployed here in Fort St. John and northern B.C.,” FSJ for LNG organizer Alan Yu recently told the Alaska Highway News.

But they face a formidable challenge as many of the well-funded environmental activists are campaigning hard to ensure the project doesn’t go ahead. The fear is Ottawa will listen

to the anti-fossil-fuel activists, not the people working and living in northern B.C. “I have no doubt that the environmentalists will not stop their delay tactics until they drive (the) Canadian economy into the ground. But FSJ for LNG is fighting back,” Yu wrote in a column for the Alaska Highway News.

In what seems to be an increasingly polarized debate on energy projects, is the civic activism exhibited in Fort St. John now required for rural communities that support and want natural resource projects? Are there lessons here for other resource-based communities, be they in Alberta, Saskatchewan, northern Ontario or Atlantic Canada? Do New Brunswick communities that want the Energy East pipeline need to mount similar campaigns of support?

With Fort St. John showing its support for LNG, it appears the social licence is there. The question is, will Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his cabinet listen?

Trans Mountain gets conditional OK

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER — The National Energy Board says the contentious $6.8-billion Trans Mountain pipeline expansion is in Canada’s best interests, despite increased greenhouse gas emissions and threats to killer whales off British Columbia’s coast.

The federal regulator issued its long-awaited report on Thursday after a two-year debate that cost millions, galvanized aboriginal and environmental protests and prompted mass arrests. The board recommended Ottawa approve Kinder Morgan Canada’s proposal subject to 157 conditions.

“Given that there are considerable benefits nationally, regionally and locally, the board found that the benefits of the project would outweigh the residual burdens,” Robert Steedman, the board’s chief environmental officer, told a news conference.

“Accordingly, the board concludes that the project is in the Canadian public interest.”

Kinder Morgan wants to triple the capacity of its existing Trans Mountain pipeline, which carries diluted bitumen from oilsands near Edmonton to Burnaby, B.C. for export. The expansion would bring capacity to 890,000 barrels a day and increase tanker traffic in Burrard Inlet seven-fold.

The positive recommendation has cleared a major hurdle for the project, with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s cabinet set to make a final decision by the end of the year.

But Kinder Morgan would have to address 157 environmental, safety and financial conditions, including holding $1.1 billion in liability coverage and detailing its plans to protect endangered species. The board said the project is the first to be required to detail plans for offsetting emissions.

There was fierce opposition to the project and the process throughout the energy board’s hearing, with the British Columbia government and cities of Vancouver and Burnaby opposing the expansion. The Tsleil-Waututh Nation in North Vancouver has a case before the Federal Court that argues the pro-

The history of the Trans Mountain oil pipeline from Alberta to B.C. CALGARY — Kinder Morgan’s proposal to triple the capacity of its 63-year-old Trans Mountain oil pipeline to 900,000 barrels per day has faced a rough ride from environmentalists, aboriginal groups and municipalities. It is not the first expansion of the pipeline, but it has faced the most scrutiny.

Here are some key dates in the history of the Trans Mountain pipeline, which was granted conditional approval Thursday by the National Energy Board for its planned expansion: October 1953: The Trans Mountain pipeline begins shipping oil with an initial capacity of 150,000 barrels per day.

But the board concluded the project presents significant benefits to Canada, including increased access to diverse markets for Canadian oil, thousands of construction jobs and hundreds of long-term jobs, development opportunities for indigenous and local communities and considerable government revenues.

Kinder Morgan said in a statement it was “pleased” the board had recommended approval of the project.

The board said that it considered concerns expressed by First Nations and how the project and related tanker traffic could impact indigenous interests. Should the project proceed, Kinder Morgan would be required to continue consultation with affected indigenous groups throughout the life of the project.

The board’s report noted that even with conditions, some impacts remain.

For example, the board found that marine vessels related to Trans Mountain would further contribute to cumulative effects that are already jeopardizing the recovery of the southern resident killer whale population off B.C.’s coast.

The report also said future vessel traffic would contribute to an increase in Canadian greenhouse gas emissions.

While emissions from project-related vessels would encompass a small percentage of the country’s overall emissions, the board concluded they would likely be “significant.”

The board also considered the likelihood and potential consequences of a large spill from the project or a tanker. It concluded these events would be of very low probability given the mitigation and safety measures being implemented, but nonetheless a very large spill would have a significant effect.

The extension includes 13 new pump stations and modifications to existing stations, increasing capacity from 260,000 bpd to 300,000 bpd.

Feb. 21, 2012: Kinder Morgan says it wants to expand the Trans Mountain pipeline after re-

ceiving support from oil shippers and will begin public consultations.

Dec. 16, 2013: An application is made to the NEB to expand the Trans Mountain pipeline, with construction proposed to begin in 2017 and service by December 2019.

November 2014: More than 100 people are arrested after they camp out in a conservation area on Burnaby Mountain, east of Vancouver, to block crews from conducting drilling and survey work related to the pipeline expansion.

Environmental groups said they weren’t surprised by the decision.

“This is exactly what we expected from the National Energy Board, an industry-captured regulator that never met a pipeline it didn’t like or environmental impact it couldn’t ignore,” Larissa Stendie of the Sierra Club said in a statement.

Peter McCartney, a climate campaigner with the Wilderness Committee, said the project has no social licence and will not be built.

“I shouldn’t be surprised, but this is an outrageous decision.

The NEB has ignored and wasted the time of countless communities, First Nations and individuals who have stood up to oppose this irresponsible pipeline proposal,” he said in a statement.

The board spent 25 months deliberating over the Trans Mountain expansion application, which was submitted in December 2013. In addition to evidence from Kinder Morgan, the board heard from 35 indigenous groups, 400 interveners and 1,250 other parties with letters of comment.

In January, the government committed to deeper indigenous consultation on the project as well as evaluating the upstream greenhouse gas emissions.

Earlier this week, the federal government announced an environmental panel to review the project that will report in November to Natural Resources Minister Jim Carr.

He said the panel cannot override the energy board’s decision but will consult, particularly with indigenous people, “to see what the NEB might have missed.”

Candice Bergen, the federal Conservative critic for natural resources, said in a statement the report was “fantastic news” for thousands of jobless workers in the oil patch.

“Unfortunately the Liberals have already confirmed that they will delay the final approval of this pipeline,” she said, adding that federal ministers should “get out of the way and allow construction to begin, so that unemployed Canadians can get back to work.”

Alberta judge quashes decision that ruled against Suncor random drug tests

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — Oilsands giant Suncor Energy has won the latest round in its push to randomly test thousands of workers for drugs and alcohol in northern Alberta.

A Court of Queen’s Bench judge has quashed a 2014 arbitration panel ruling that determined the proposed testing plan would violate the privacy of union workers represented by Unifor.

Justice Blair Nixon said the panel should have considered evidence about alcohol and drug incidents involving all workers at Suncor, including non-union contract employees.

“By focusing only on the bargaining unit, the majority (of the panel) expressly excluded consideration of relevant evidence,” Nixon wrote.

“The majority ignored evidence pertaining to some two-thirds of the individuals working in the oilsands operation.”

Nixon said a new arbitration panel should review the company’s random testing plan, which Suncor first announced in 2012.

Suncor had presented evidence of 2,276 drug and alcohol “security incidents” recorded between 2004 and 2013.

Unifor, which has been challenging the random drug testing proposal, took the position that only 12 of the incidents involved union members.

Suncor Energy (TSX:SU) spokeswoman Sneh Seetal said the company is pleased with Nixon’s ruling. She said random testing aims to protect the safety of the public, workers and the environment.

“What is important for Suncor is really looking at the driver behind our desire to include random testing in our already comprehensive safety pro-

“We wouldn’t be pursuing this if we didn’t feel it was absolutely necessary.”

Unifor spokesman Dave Moffat said the union will appeal the judge’s decision and maintains that random testing violates the basic rights of union members.

“We are disappointed but we will proceed through the system and hope for a satisfactory result,” he said.

“It is important to all Canadians that the randomness of this kind of personal invasion is something that we have to make sure gets vetted through our system and that everybody understands its seriousness and its implications.”

The union, which represents about 3,800 workers at Suncor, said the company already has a comprehensive drug and alcohol policy that includes post-incident and reasonable cause testing.

It said that policy is not affected by the ongoing litigation over the random testing plan.

The court ruling was handed Wednesday as Suncor flew almost 4,000 employees and contract workers from its operations north of Fort McMurray due to the massive wildfire burning in the region.

Seetal said emergency staff remain who are working to protect the site.

“Those remaining are essential personnel,” she said.

MARKETS CLOSE TORONTO — The Canadian dollar closed at its lowest level in more than a month Thursday as it faced continued pressure from a strengthening U.S. currency and falling oil prices.

The loonie fell for a third straight session, giving back 0.48 of a U.S. cent to 76.31 cents US. The last time it finished below that was on April 7 when it closed at 76.08 cents US. Colin Cieszynski, chief market strategist at CMC Markets Canada, said the U.S. greenback strengthened amid signs that the U.S. Federal Reserve may raise interest rates as early as June.

“There’s been a big rally in the U.S. dollar obviously since the Fed minutes came out Wednesday so that is depressing all currencies,” he said.

“Canada, more than some others, because it took down the oil price as well.”

Cieszynski added that there could also be sizable moves in the Canadian dollar on Friday when Statistics Canada releases reports on consumer prices and retail sales.

In New York, traders continued to digest hints from the Fed on a rate hike coming earlier than previously expected.

On Wednesday, the central bank released minutes that showed its policy-makers believe it “likely would be appropriate” to raise rates at its next meeting on June 14-15 should growth in the economy and employment remain on track.

Low interest rates have been credited with buoying stock markets since the Great Recession. The Fed boosted its key policy for the first time in nearly a decade in December but has since held back as financial market turmoil in January slowed U.S. growth.

On Wall Street, the Dow Jones industrial average plunged 91.22 points to 17,435.40, while the broader S&P 500 fell 7.59 points to 2,040.04. The Nasdaq composite lost 26.59 points to 4,712.53.

“It’s a bit of a warning shot from them (the Fed) to investors to not get carried away thinking that rates are going to stay low forever,” said Ian Nakamoto, director of research at 3MACS. “It also curbs speculative activity.”

Canadian regulator approves sale of fast-growing, genetically modified salmon

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Canadian grocery stores have received the regulatory green light to begin selling fast-growing, genetically modified salmon — the first such species to gain such approval from federal agencies.

Health Canada and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency announced Thursday they had completed a scientific review of AquAdvantage’s salmon and it has passed the final regulatory hurdle for the farmed fish. The fish was developed by U.S.-based biotechnology firm AquaBounty Technologies Inc. to promote rapid growth of the fish during early life, using a growth hormone gene from the Chinook salmon in an Atlantic salmon. The company has one facility in Canada, in Bay Fortune, P.E.I., and a production centre in Panama.

Dave Conley, a spokesman for the firm, said in an email that it will be a year or more before the firm has any production of market-sized fish.

The agencies say in a news release the fish have met the key hurdle of being “as safe and nutritious for humans and livestock as conventional salmon.”

The regulators also said genetically modified foods are becoming more

common every day and are a regular part of Canadians’ diets.

However, an alliance of environmental groups raised questions about the review process, arguing there wasn’t sufficient public input and — at the very least — the fish should be labelled.

“Canadians could now be faced with the world’s first genetically modified food animal, approved with no pubic consultation and no labelling,” said Lucy Sharratt of the Canadian Biotechnology Action Network.

Labelling is voluntary, said Rola Yehia, national manager of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, during a conference call.

“Since in this case there is no health risk identified, there is no requirement for mandatory labelling,” she said during a conference call.

Conley said in an email that the firm hasn’t made any decisions on whether the fish will be labelled with his firm’s brand or an indicator the fish are genetically modified.

NDP Health critic Don Davies said his party believes Ottawa must move to make labelling mandatory.

“If it is safe … then labelling should not be an issue. It’s just an issue of consumer protection and their right to know,” he said.

Liberals drop controversial motion FALLOUT FROM TRUDEAU’S COMMONS FRACAS

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — The federal government is bowing to opposition demands and backing down on a “draconian” motion that critics say would have given the Liberals too much control over the ins and outs of parliamentary business.

Government House leader Dominic LeBlanc said during question period Thursday that the Liberals have listened to the comments of the opposition and pulled the controversial motion, known as Motion 6.

“We’ve listened to the comments made by all of our colleagues, (and) a short while ago we withdrew Motion 6 from the order paper,” LeBlanc said as cheers rained down from the opposi-

tion benches.

“Our objective remains to work with everyone to find the proper mechanism to extend the sitting hours and allow for a more respectful debate on government legislation, and I look forward to working with all members of this House to achieve that objective.”

That about-face came after a contrite Prime Minister Justin Trudeau apologized yet again Thursday for a physical encounter with two opposition MPs in an unprecedented fracas on the floor of the House of Commons the night before.

But Trudeau’s political adversaries were out for more, demanding he show he is serious about decorum by withdrawing a motion that would remove procedural tools — and power — from opposition MPs.

No charges for Wallin in Senate expense scandal

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — The RCMP closed another chapter in the long-running Senate expense saga Thursday by declaring they won’t charge Sen. Pamela Wallin after an extensive criminal review of her travel claims — a probe some senators say went on too long.

The long-awaited announcement comes nearly three years after the RCMP first started looking at the Saskatchewan senator and a month after the sensational dismissal of 31 criminal charges against Sen. Mike Duffy.

The force has also closed its files on the majority of senators who were flagged with problematic expense claims in last year’s report by the federal auditor general.

The statement from assistant commissioner Gilles Michaud said the “thorough investigation” of Wallin’s expenses was over, and that Crown attorneys and investigators believed “no criminal charges will be laid.”

Standing at the entrance to the Senate on Thursday, Wallin expressed relief that the Mounties had finally made a decision.

“It has been a very long three years and I’m glad this nightmare is over,” she said. She’ll consult her lawyer about possible next steps, she added, but refused to elaborate on what those may be.

Sen. David Tkachuk, who chaired the committee that oversaw Wallin’s spending audit, said he never believed Wallin did anything criminal in her expenses.

Sen. Larry Campbell said he hoped the Crown also drops fraud and breach

of trust charges against Sen. Patrick Brazeau, whose trial is scheduled to start in June 2017 after he tried to end his life in January.

The Mounties opened a file on Wallin in 2013 after a critical audit of her spending ended with her repaying some $150,000 — including interest — for claims the Senate said were unjustified. The audit and subsequent investigation raised questions about whether Wallin was charging the Senate for travel related to her work on the various corporate boards on which she used to sit.

Among the claims were 24 events Wallin attended in her capacity as a member of the boards of Porter Airlines and Gluskin Sheff.

Wallin admitted she shouldn’t have charged them to the Senate, pointing to what her lawyer, Terrence O’Sullivan called “administrative oversight.”

On Thursday, O’Sullivan said Wallin didn’t have a chance to challenge the audit findings like those senators flagged in the auditor general’s report.

When she paid the money back in September 2013, she blamed a “lynch mob” mentality in the Senate.

Two months later, Wallin was suspended without pay from the Senate over disallowed expenses, along with Duffy and Patrick Brazeau. The suspensions were lifted when Parliament was dissolved for the fall election.

Asked about Wallin’s complaint, Sen. Jim Munson said the Senate acted “pretty close” to a mob in how it dealt with Wallin, convicting her before she had a fair hearing.

He also questioned the time it took the Mounties to settle her case.

Security agencies flag possible pitfalls of heightened scrutiny

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — As the Liberals prepare to bolster a review of national spy services, two federal security agencies have flagged serious headaches that might come with more scrutiny, internal documents show.

The RCMP fears more eyes looking over its shoulder could compromise criminal investigations, while the electronic spies at the Communications Security Establishment warn against creating a super-watchdog with its associated “burden and costs,” say notes obtained under the Access to Information Act. The government plans to usher in a national security committee of parliamentarians, whose members would have access to classified records.

It is also studying gaps in the current web of watchdogs that monitor intelligence services to ensure a comprehensive system is in place.

Existing review bodies cannot look at issues beyond their specific agency of focus, and have “limited authority” to collaborate with one another, say briefing notes prepared for Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale.

It means the Civilian Review and

Complaints Commission, which oversees the RCMP’s national security activities, might be barred from exchanging notes on an alleged scandal with the watchdog that keeps an eye on the Communications Security Establishment.

The Liberals are looking at fostering such co-operation because many watchdog investigations involve a need to scrutinize the actions of more than one outfit.

While the Mounties support national security accountability, inter-agency review “presents the RCMP with some challenges,” say briefing notes drafted for Deputy Commissioner Mike Cabana’s appearance at a Senate committee last year.

If a review involved an ongoing criminal investigation, the Mounties would be concerned about its potential impact on evidence destined for a court proceeding, say the notes.

“The RCMP would want to prevent operational interference and disclosure of information before the conclusion of an investigation. In addition, review of an active criminal investigation could bring reviewers into the chain of evidence, and might necessitate disclosure at trial or even being called to give testimony.”

Ask The Dentist! by Dr. Michael Dolynchuk, DDS

I Was Robbed - NOT

A: I'm sorry to hear about your experience. Your X-rays are not on my desk, nor are you in my dental chair so there is no quick answer.

The watchword here is really 'perspective'. A friend of ours drives older imported cars. His favourite phrase is 'keep them up or keep them new' and he has a trusted mechanic to do all his work. He budgets money each month for repairs, much like the new car payments he used to 'enjoy'. He says he knows he will pay X dollars per month and is proactive rather than reactive. A patient is a marine mechanic. When discussing the pros and cons of various boat engine options, he says one should budget $1000 per 'leg' (the part that sticks into the water) annually, because if you don't spend it this year you'll spend $2000 next year. No mystery – just the cost of 'going fishing' according to him. Our teeth are actually similar. They operate seemingly smoothly for years in some cases, causing no hiccups or discomfort. Your mouth sounds like it is in that category causing you no discomfort for 5 years now. We suggest that because oral health is very forgiving in terms of keeping you going without pain that frequently gets confused with 'nothing bad going on'. You didn't mention your age, but many factors enter the fray.

Patients in their 20's and 30's often go for extended periods with little need for care other than regular hygiene visits. Once one graduates into their 40's and 50's things break down. Human bodies originally lasted about 40 years. Modern diet, medicine, and awareness have doubled that. Your teeth aren't aware of that, and begin to break down in midlife so you need crowns and other restorative work to keep them. Medications and lifestyle affect gum disease, which is a huge problem in adults. We suspect that your new dentist wasn't diagnosing anything untoward here – he was just being thorough.

You likely have issues he saw that are not causing you pain – YET. That is the operative word. Get a second opinion, please. I wager that it will mirror what the first dentist found. You need to be satisfied, and it does sound like your mouth needs some attention!

sial motion aimed at taking away some of the procedural tools opposition MPs use to combat the government.

“He is stripping the opposition of our jobs,” Ambrose said.

“We have a job to do in the House, and we take it seriously. If he truly respects the role of Opposition, and the role of every member of the House, then he has to withdraw the motion,” Ambrose said.

Trudeau did not give in, side-stepping the demand in his response to Ambrose.

“It is important that we draw a clear line between what was my unacceptable behaviour and the general tone of the House,” he said. “The escalation and the tone of the House does not lead to any justification of my actions, and I accept that fully.”

Dear Dr. D: I'm having a very hard time figuring out dental fees. My teeth are good overall. Not movie star good, but I get by and have had no aches or pains for about 5 years now. Went for a checkup in another town recently, and the doctor claims I need $4200 worth of work for what he called 'deferred maintenance'. My teeth were in good shape when I entered his office, so this sounds absurd to me.

This is overcharging in the first degree. How do dentists get away with that?

Trudeau rose in the House to apologize to all MPs, the Speaker and also Ruth Ellen Brosseau, with whom he collided on Wednesday while trying to hurry Conservative whip Gord Brown to his seat.

“I sincerely apologize to my colleagues, to the House as a whole and to you, Mr. Speaker, for failing to live up to a higher standard of behaviour,” Trudeau told a rapt Commons as the shockwaves from Wednesday’s eyebrow-raising scene continued to reverberate.

“Members, rightfully, expect better behaviour from anyone in this House. I expect better behaviour of myself.”

Interim Conservative leader Rona Ambrose said she appreciated Trudeau’s apology, but insisted the Liberals need to drop the controver-

Terrorism suspected in EgyptAir crash SIXTY-SIX PEOPLE REPORTED ON BOARD, INCLUDING TWO CANADIANS

any confirmed debris, at one point dismissing a reported sighting of life vests and other floating material.

Civil Aviation Minister Sherif Fathi cautioned that the disaster was still under investigation but said the possibility it was a terror attack “is higher than the possibility of having a technical failure.”

Alexander Bortnikov, chief of Russia’s top domestic security agency, went further, saying: “In all likelihood it was a terror attack.”

There was no immediate claim from militants that they had downed the plane.

If it was terrorism, it would be the second deadly attack involving Egypt’s aviation industry in seven months.

Last October, a Russian passenger plane that took off from an Egyptian Red Sea resort crashed in the Sinai, killing all 224 people aboard. Russia said it was brought down by a bomb, and a local branch of the Islamic State claimed responsibility.

Thursday’s disaster also raises questions about security at De Gaulle Airport, at a time when Western Europe has been on high alert over the deadly Islamic extremist attacks in Paris and at the Brussels airport and subway over the past six months.

French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault said that airport security had been tightened considerably before the disaster, in part because of the coming European soccer championship, which France is hosting.

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CAIRO — An EgyptAir jetliner en route from Paris to Cairo with 66 people aboard veered wildly in flight and crashed in the Mediterranean Sea early Thursday, authorities said.

The Canadian government said among the passengers were two Canadian citizens. Foreign Affairs Minister Stephane Dion said officials were working closely with authorities to confirm whether there were any other Canadians on board.

Egyptian and Russian officials said it may have been brought down by terrorists.

There were no signs of survivors.

EgyptAir Flight 804, an Airbus A320 with 56 passengers and 10 crew members, went down about halfway between the Greek island of Crete and Egypt’s coastline, or around 282 kilometres offshore, after takeoff from Charles de Gaulle Airport, authorities said.

Greek Defence Minister Panos Kammenos said the plane spun all the way around and suddenly lost altitude just before vanishing from radar screens

A relative of the victims of the EgyptAir flight 804 wipes her tears as she is comforted by unidentified people at Charles de Gaulle Airport outside of Paris, Thursday. Egyptian aviation officials say an EgyptAir flight from Paris to Cairo with 66 passengers and crew on board has crashed. around 2:45 a.m. Cairo time (12:45 a.m.

GMT).

He said it made a 90-degree left turn, then a full 360-degree turn to the right, plummeting from 11,582 metres to 4,572 metres. It disappeared at about 3,048 metres, he said. There were no reports of stormy weather at

the time.

Egyptian and Greek authorities in ships and planes searched the suspected crash area throughout the day for traces of the airliner or its victims, with more help on the way from the U.S., Britain and France.

But as night fell, they had yet to find

Rain hinders search for Syrian government troops take rebel stronghold missing in landslide Coordination Committees and the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

An opposition media activist inside the Ghouta enclave said news of the advance is a blow to the opposition. “It is agricultural land,” said the activist of the area of the push, speaking on condition of anonymity fearing for his safety.

Opposition groups expelled government forces from the Ghouta region, which hugs Damascus from the east and south, in 2012, a pivotal development in the conflict that began as a popular uprising demanding government reforms the year before. Syrian forces, supported by Lebanese and Iranian fighters and Russian air power, responded by encircling the zone and slowly tightening its blockade. Residents and rebels inside have depended on smuggling routes and local farmland to survive.

Syrian state media, which also reported the advance, said the army took advantage of rebel infighting in the eastern Ghouta pocket to make its strike. Around 500 militants have been killed in three weeks of infighting, according to the Observatory.

SRI LANKA

ELANGAPITIYA VILLAGE, Sri Lanka — As soldiers searched Thursday for hundreds of people missing after landslides swallowed three central Sri Lankan villages, family members huddled in crowded shelters waiting for news about the fate of loved ones.

Their wait was likely to be long.

Heavy rain halted the search several times during the day, and new thunderous mudslides caused already-frightened villagers to run from the shelters.

Authorities warned that conditions were still dangerous and more mudslides were possible.

Two days after the three villages of Siripura, Elangapitiya and Pallebage were hit by torrents of thick, red mud, rescuers had recovered just 18 bodies out of hundreds believed missing. The Sri Lankan Red Cross said at least 220 families were unaccounted for.

Heavy fog, electrical outages and the loose ground complicated the search in Kegalle district, about 72 kilometres (45 miles) north of Colombo.

“We will continue the search tomorrow, but we have to study the situation” to make sure it’s safe, said army Maj. Gen. Sudantha Ranasinghe, who was co-ordinating search efforts.

Asked whether rescuers expected to find survivors, Ranasinghe pointed to an area where 66 houses once stood.

“All gone with that landslide,” he said. “So I have my doubts.”

Soldiers carried bodies to a school where families waited for news of missing loved ones. The school en-

trance was decorated with white flags, a symbol of mourning.

Most of the bodies recovered were in Elangapitiya, the village farthest down the hill, as conditions prevented search efforts higher up.

Like much of Sri Lanka, the area around the villages had been cleared for agriculture and tea plantations, leaving the countryside exposed.

More than 1,550 people were crowded into nine shelters, where they were being given food, blankets and basic medical treatment, officials said.

“The destruction is so bad,” tea farmer A. Dharmasena said as he huddled in the Viyaneliya Buddhist Temple with hundreds of other evacuees.

“You can’t bring the village back to what it was before.”

The downpours that started Sunday continued to lash all of Sri Lanka, causing severe flooding in cities including Colombo and unleashing smaller mudslides elsewhere in the country.

The government called it the worst natural disaster in more than two decades. Since Monday, 43 people have died from lightning strikes, floods, falling trees and landslides nationwide, including the 18 confirmed deaths in the Kegalle district, according to the Disaster Management Center.

Tens of thousands have been evacuated from homes across the island to some 594 shelters.

The government ordered all schools to close Friday, with more rain predicted.

BEIRUT — Syrian government forces and allied militias made a swift advance into Damascus’s rebel-held suburbs on Thursday, threatening to disrupt a years-long stalemate in the war around the Syrian capital.

The development came as the UN envoy for the war-torn country vowed in Geneva that peace talks “are not going to be abandoned, frankly, ever.”

The envoy, Staffan de Mistura, said he was waiting to see “gestures” following a Vienna meeting of world and regional powers earlier this week before setting a target date for the resumption of UN-mediated indirect talks between Syrian President Bashar Assad’s representatives and opposition groups.

Fighting in Syria continued in earnest Thursday as air and missile-strikes pounded rebel positions in Damascus’s eastern Ghouta suburb, clearing the way for soldiers and Hezbollah militants to seize valuable farmland that nourished residents trapped in the blockaded area, according to two activist groups, the Local

announcements MANNING William 1954 - 2016 Mr. William Neil ‘Bill’ Manning of Red Deer, Alberta, passed away peacefully during the early morning hours of Sunday, April 24, 2016 at the age of 61 years.

Bill was born on June 11, 1954 at Ponoka, Alberta, and lived the majority of his life at Red Deer. He met his wife and life partner of forty years, Rita Zirk at Calgary, Alberta, when he was completing his Bachelor of Education Degree at the University of Calgary. Bill went on to complete his Bachelor of Science Degree in Civil Engineering and worked as a Professional Engineer until 2012. Bill’s greatest passions were his family and his home.

When he was completing his Civil Engineering Degree, he took his first daughter to University with him regularly. For Bill, no one was too young to learn or be fascinated by the world around them. Throughout his sixty-one years of life, he never lost his own wonderment and innocence. For some, he was a hard man to know, but those close to him knew he lived his life on his own terms. Bill never took more than he gave, and always gave more than he took. After his retirement, he put his heart and soul into preparing tremendous meals and keeping those close to him even closer. His greatest joy occurred when his family was home to share dinner and watch a movie. The strength of his children was a source of gratification for him as he knew that he had done his job as a father well. His wife and daughters carry his torch now and always; and will miss their greatest ally in life, each and every day. Although he did not volunteer his time publically, he would always lend a hand to those who needed one; or an ear to those who needed a friend.

Those closest to him will miss his laugh; how he would state that “life was beautiful”; and that “the right thing was never the easy thing”; playing “name the artist”; and his love for watching a game of hockey. Bill will be lovingly remembered by his wife and life partner, Rita Manning; his daughters, Melissa Manning (Aaron King) and Amy Manning (Matt Heighington); and his brothers, Dave (Melo) Manning, Don (Norma) Manning, Dan (Mary) Manning, and Bruce Manning.

Bill was predeceased by his parents, Eylert and Gwendolyn Manning, and a twin sister, Laurel “Dell” Manning (Alan Carnrite). A Celebration of Bill’s Life (dress code of jeans and t-shirts) will be held at his home at a later date, for his family and close friends. In place of flowers, the family requests that those affected by his passing share with others a random act of kindness; whether that be given in the form of making a cashier smile with a joke; inviting a friend over to your home to share a wonderful meal; or just working to make your corner of the world a bit of a better place.

In Loving Memory of PECK (nee Damant) Mildred Joyce Born: December 11, 1943 Passed Away: May 13, 2016 On the morning of May 13, Joyce passed away peacefully. Joyce is survived by her devoted husband and farming partner of 55 years, Martin, her children; Marlene (Leonard), Ken (Michelle), Steven (Shannon), grandchildren, brothers, sister, nieces, nephews, as well as extended family and an abundance of friends. Joyce and Martin were married in Lacombe on April 05, 1961.

They resided on the farm southeast of Gull Lake, where as a team they raised crops, livestock, as well as a family. The family will fondly remember Joyce every time they curl up in one of her many crocheted blankets, gaze upon her numerous cross stitch pictures, or when they gather for a holiday feast, which was generally prepared by Joyce herself.

The farm will miss her input as she was an integral part of the farm right up until her passing. The family wishes to pass along a heartfelt appreciation to the wonderful staff of the Palliative Care Unit at the Lacombe Hospital, who along with Dr. Mckibbin, made a very difficult time considerably easier. In respect to Joyce’s wishes, no funeral service will be held. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Lacombe Palliative Care (409 4425 Heritage Way, Lacombe, Alberta, T4L 2P4) or the Canadian Cancer Society (6751 52 Ave, Red Deer, AB T4N 4K9) in Joyce’s name.

LONG Kenneth Lawrence Jan. 24, 1921- May 18, 2016 Ken was born and raised in the Blackfalds area where he attended school until grade 11 before transferring to Edmonton for his final year.

He then returned to help his brother on the farm until he enlisted in the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) in 1941. After receiving his training as a pilot in Regina, he was transferred overseas to England. Ken completed 35 bombing operations as a pilot flying a Halifax bomber.

In 1944 Ken was awarded with the Distinguished Flying Medal (DFM) for meritorious service.

After being discharged from the RCAF in 1945, he returned home where he met Marie McMillan at a dance at the Lakeside Hall. Ken and Marie were married in 1947 and farmed 2 miles south of Lacombe where they raised their six children: Connie (Luke) Stienstra, Dianne (George) Langrock, Jim (Vickie) Long, Gail (Darryl) Andrew, Sereta (Don) Brown, and Noreen (Ron) Selvais, fifteen grandchildren, and twenty four great grandchildren. In 1978, Ken and Marie moved to Oliver in the Okanagan In Memoriam Valley in B.C., but Lacombe was also home and they returned in 1989 and have resided there since. Those who knew Ken were soon challenged by his luck and expertise in cribbage, bourré, schmier, and poker. He was a wonderful husband, father, and granddad, and a good friend to all who knew him.

Ken was predeceased by Marie in October 2015, his parents, Thomas and Katherine, ten sisters, and three brothers. At Ken’s request there will be no funeral service. A gathering of friends and relatives will be held at 2:00 p.m. in the HAWLEY, Michael Banquet Room at Best Oct. 30, 1984 - May 19, 2001 Western Hotel in Lacombe on Tuesday, May 24, 2016.

MILLER Glen “Allan” 1966-2016 With profound sadness we announce the sudden passing of Allan on May 11, 2016.

Allan was born in 1966 at Edmonton, AB. He is survived by his loving wife Robin, son Christopher, son Joey, and daughter Erin; his parents Mark and Jean Miller, sister, Ronda, brothers Darcy (Sherry), Cory (Linette); mother-in-law Joyce, (predeceased by father-inlaw Tom), brother-in-law Shawn, brother-in-law Peri (Carol), as well as nieces, nephews, uncles, aunts and cousins. Allan left this world leaving a giant void in all our hearts. His working career included 15 years with Alberta Power. He then started doing some renovation work which not only grew into a business, but something he enjoyed to the fullest. While living in the north, Allan so enjoyed his position of goalie in a “bush” hockey league, with local residents. He loved the outdoors, and camping was at the top of the list. In recent years, he created a safe and comfortable environment for winter camping. Here he felt at one with nature including birds and small animals that came to visit. A service to celebrate Allan’s life will be held at the Church of the Good Shepherd, 40 - Holmes St., Red Deer AB, on Wednesday, May 25, 2016 at 1:00 p.m..

ADVICE FRIDAY, MAY 20, 2016

Bad relationships affect children KATHY MITCHELL AND MARCY SUGAR ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: “Can’t Win in Tennessee” said his wife calls him names, constantly criticizes him and threatens divorce.

You correctly told him that he was in an abusive marriage.

What you didn’t point out is that his two young children are also being damaged by his wife’s psychologically abusive behavior, even if it is not directed at them.

From my own childhood experience, I can promise you that those kids are feeling the instability of the marriage.

Dad might think he can “man up” and take his wife’s abuse, but his children don’t have that strength.

He needs to see a counselor not only for himself, but also for them. — Collateral Damage in California Dear Collateral: We agree that children are deeply affected by whatever relationship their parents have, especially when it’s so dysfunctional. Here are two more letters on the subject: Dear Annie: I, too, am married to a quarrelsome

HOROSCOPES

Friday, May 20 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DATE: Joe Cocker, Cher, 70; Tony Goldwyn, 56 THOUGHT OF THE DAY: Look for ways to expand your world in exciting ways.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Exciting and expressive, you like to feel you are making a difference.

Up until September 9, focus on improving domestic matters and family relationships.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You’d be wise to do a stock take on where you are going financially. You could do well via a property transaction or family business but make sure you have all the facts and figures at hand.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Proceed carefully with a loved one, otherwise you’ll tread on each other’s toes. A relationship with a family member is set to improve though, as you focus on the things you have in common.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Are relationship worries constantly on your mind? Hoping they go away won’t get you very far. Saturn urges you to be patient and persistent, as you search for practical solutions to current problems.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): It’s a good day to get upclose-and-personal with others as you talk, text, tweet and post up a storm. But Mercury is still retrograde, so don’t write anything that’s confusing or controversial.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Neptune is meandering through your lust zone, so the best aphrodisiac at the moment is buckets of romance.

Single Cats — sparks could fly with an amorous Aquarian or a sexy Sagittarian.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A close relationship may be somewhat strained today but don’t worry too much — it’s a passing phase. Instead, focus your attention on a personal project that has the potential to really fly.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): It’s time to tackle practical tasks today, as the Moon moves through your business

He occasionally cooks a meal or washes his own laundry.

He refuses to clean the house. When I ask him to do something, it sits for a week and if I complain or do it myself, he says I am overbearing.

Most of our discussions are about how disappointed he is that I nag him about getting a job.

Two weeks ago, he decided he’ll take classes over the summer.

I expect him to find a part-time job (we make our kids do it while they are in school), but he always has some excuse to delay looking.

I am tired of being the bad guy.

I have made things too easy for him, yet he claims his life is horrible because I nag him about a job.

We are both miserable.

I don’t want another divorce, but it’s difficult for me to respect someone who could be helping our future, but won’t. — Wisconsin Dear Wisconsin: You don’t sound abusive.

You sound desperate and frustrated.

Your husband sounds like an alcoholic and a freeloader. Try Al-Anon (alanon.org).

Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column. Please email your questions to anniesmailbox@ creators.com, or write to: Annie’s Mailbox, c/o Creators Syndicate, 737 3rd Street, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254.

and financial zone. But double-check everything, as communication chaos and money mix-ups are likely.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): With Mercury still retrograding through your relationship zone, it will be very easy to misinterpret what others say today Scorpio. So think carefully before you react — or over-react.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Are you in line for a new job, promotion, bonus or raise? If you want to get ahead professionally, then make sure you dress to impress. Plus network like a pro with successful colleagues.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): A friendship is tested so think twice before you say something that’s inappropriate. A cherished dream has the opportunity to blossom. If you are persistent, then you’ll be on the road to success.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Strive to keep an open mind, especially within a group situation. You can’t control how other people think, so don’t waste energy trying. Instead, spend time with a special friend who makes you smile.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You may temporarily lose your way today Pisces, as people perplex you and situations confuse you.

If you follow your intuition, it will — eventually — lead you in the right direction.

JOANNE MADELINE MOORE

wife who refuses counseling and has shut herself off from me both physically and emotionally.

Although many couples have (understandably) sought divorce in situations like ours, I have chosen to remain faithful to the vows I took before God, family and friends, even though “for better or for worse” is painful and emotionally draining.

Loving the unlovable isn’t fun or easy, and it may never produce a reward.

But in my case, I know it’s the right thing to do.

My children benefit every time I combat anger with peace. — Maryland Dear Annie: My husband cut out this column and put it on my desk, saying that I was abusing him. You tell me.

We have been married for four years (a second marriage for both of us). In that time, my husband has been mostly unemployed. He is a heavy drinker.

He reeks of it and it affected his last job performance.

It was the reason he was the first one out the door during layoffs.

He quit one job because he “didn’t like it.” I support him and our four kids. He claims he can’t find a job, but he won’t look because he considers most jobs beneath him.

I resent that he sleeps in and then reads the paper until 11 a.m.

I buy the groceries, make the meals, do most of the dishes and pay the bills.
