Knights 9 Wheat Kings 1 It wasn’t just the London Knights top line that roughed up their opponents.

Though the line of Mitchell Marner, Matthew Tkachuk and Christian Dvorak did their damage, scoring a combined 10 points.

But the second line of Max Jones, Cliff Pu and Aaron Berisha matched them in the first period scoring twice.

Taking some of the scoring pressure off.

“All four of our lines can score goals, all of them can play,” said Marner. “I think that’s the biggest fear of teams, they think so much about our first line and they forget about the second, third and fourth.”

The Knights second line combined for seven points, including three goals.

Those two lines and the rest of the Knights were unrelenting as they cruised to a 9-1 win over the Brandon Wheat Kings on Monday at the Centrium.

Dvorak, an Arizona Coyotes draft pick, led the Knights with a hat trick and an assist while Marner, the Toronto Maple Leafs pick, had four assists.

The Western Hockey League Champions struggled to keep up throughout the game and have yet to show their championship winning form at the MasterCard Memorial Cup. Meanwhile, the Knights haven’t let up and have now won 15 straight games, dating back to April 1. The win guarantees the Knights (2-0-0-0) a berth in the semifinal.

“I think for whatever reasons we haven’t had the result or the urgency to our game at the tournament that we did to earn the right to be here,” said Wheat Kings coach Kelly McCrimmon. “Now we’re in a position where that has to happen in a hurry.”

Scoring opened early with a displaying the precision passing that has been the calling card of their top line and tied Wheat Kings defender Ivan Provorov up in knows. Marner fed Tk-

Then it was the second line that went to work as Juolevi carried the puck down the left wing and fired a shot on Papirny. The rebound came to the right of Papirny, where Pu was positioned and buried the rebound, giving the Knights a 2-0 lead.

“Jones was suspended for a few games in the playoffs and he just got back playing,” said Knights head coach Dale Hunter. “It takes a while to get the chemistry going and I was happy to see they moved and passed the puck around well and went to the

net hard.”

From there it didn’t get much better. Goals from Berisha, Tkachuk and Piccinich, on a bad Wheat Kings clearing attempt, gave the Knights a 5-0 lead.

Four of the nine Knights goals came on the power play. The team from London had eight man advantages in the game.

The Wheat Kings got one back as Stelio Mattheos, at the side of the net, got the puck on a pass from Provorov. Matteos turned and stepped out in front of the net and his wrist shot beat Parsons to make it a 5-1 Knights lead.

The Knights responded with four

the 1994 Memorial Cup that he said catapulted him into the NHL player he became.

“1994 was my breakout year in Junior,” said Tucker, who had been drafted the year before by the Montreal Canadiens in the sixth round of the NHL draft. That season he had 52 goals and 88 assists for the Blazers.

“To play at the Memorial Cup in Laval, just outside of Montreal. That was the first big challenge that faced me as a player. To go into the backyard of the Montreal Canadiens, have all their staff there and play close to the Montreal Forum and then become the MVP of the Memorial Cup. It was a childhood dream come true, to play that brand of hockey in that scenario with that much pressure.”

In the 1994 Memorial Cup, Tucker scored six goals and three assists and was named the MVP. The five-foot-10 right winger finished his NHL career with 215 goals and 261 assists in 947 games playing for the Canadiens, Tampa Bay Lightning, Toronto Maple Leafs and Colorado Avalanche.

He also had a big role on a Maple Leafs team that made two NHL Eastern Conference Finals while he played there.

That season with the Moose Chiefs, wasn’t Tucker’s only connection with Red Deer. He grew up south of Stettler so played a fair bit while in minor hockey.

Then, in 1995, Tucker was part of Team Canada at the World Junior Hockey Championship when Red Deer played host. That year Canada won gold and Tucker had four assists.

“That experience was great,” said Tucker. “Anytime you get to play on home soil for the World Junior Championships is a phenomenal experience.

“For me it was even better because I was able to have family and friends come, being from about two hours away.” mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com

Braving cool temperatures and a steady rain participants in the Woody’s RV World Marathon head out on 55 Street in Red Deer Sunday morning. The annual event held in the Red Deer River valley follows the bike paths through the city and included a 1 km. kids run, 10 km, half marathon and full 42.2 km marathon distances.

Rain, wind tests runners at Woody’s Marathon

BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF It’s hard to argue when Brendan Lunty says he doesn’t mind running the marathon in the rain.

He’s been in 12 Woody’s marathons, and on Sunday he won his sixth-straight event.

The Woody’s Marathon, Half Marathon and 10 km were held Sunday. There was also a 1 km run for the kids.

“I don’t mind the rain, I like the cool weather a bit,” said Lunty. “The wind I could do without, but the cool and rain I don’t mind.

“I had a great day and I was really hoping to be under 2:40 so I think I just made it.”

Lunty’s time was 2:39:35.72 Red Deer’s Craig Schmitt crossed the finish line about 10 minutes behind Lunty. Schmitt finished with a time of 2:49:14.17.

Jonathan Fuller was the third male across the line with a time of 2:51:42.46.

“I know Craig’s a strong runner and I don’t want to let up because I know he’s behind me,” said Lunty.

Half an hour after Lunty crossed, the first woman made her way to the finish line. Kari Elliott was the first woman across the line with a time of 3:03:37.35.

Rhonda Loo, in her second Woody’s, was the second woman to cross with a time of 3:12:14.43.

“It was a nice Sunday run,” said Loo, who moved to Alberta from Nova Scotia. “It was brutal conditions, this is Alberta’s version of the nor’easter I guess.”

She now lives in Lake Newell Resort near Brooks and also won last year with a time of 3:06.26.

“I was mostly by myself,” said Loo. “But I did pass a few people near the end, which is always nice.

That pushes you a little bit.

“It’s why I went with the tunes today. I usually don’t run with music, but I thought I would need company today.”

The race took the runners through many of Red Deer’s trails and sights including Heritage Ranch, Three Mile Bend and River Bend.

Lunty, a Camrose-native, enjoys running the trails in Red Deer that are part of the marathon’s route.

COMMENT B4 SPORTS A7-8

“It’s a good early season test to see where your fitness is at for the year,” said Lunty. “It’s understandable that I didn’t see too many people out today, but usually I see people cheering.”

In the half marathon Dusty Spiller was the first male across the finish line with a time of 1:16:01.90, Adrian Christ wasn’t far behind him with a time of 1:16:18.00.

Jen Moroz led the women in the half marathon with a time of 1:26:09.06 followed by Jen Elliott with a time of 1:31:10.55.

Kieran McDonald was the first male across in the 10 km with a time of 34:29.72 followed by Devin Woodland with a time of 38:45.90. Emily Lucas was the first woman across in the 10 km with a time of 42:04.17 followed very closely by Andrea Snider at 42:57.33 and Jillian Stewart with a time of 43:59.31.

About 1,600 people were entered into the various events held during the marathon. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com RED DEER WEATHER

Benalto School supporters have formally requested the building be turned over to them.

Those trying to save the school want to assume the title as part of their bid to maintain it as a charter school.

An application is already before Education Minister David Eggen, who has two months to make a decision.

Whether Chinook’s Edge School Division is willing to turn the school over to a community-led group will now be up to the board. The next meeting the proposal can be discussed is June 22.

Carol Rambaut, the president of the hamlet’s booster club, was among a group of Benalto School parents who met on Wednesday at the school with Chinook’s Edge associate superintendent for corporate services Shawn Russell to make the purchase offer, which would be for a token $1.

“Because (the school division) said they had no interested parties at that point, we thought we better scramble and get ours in,” said Rambaut.

The school board voted in April to close the school following this school year because of low enrolment and high per-student costs.

Those fighting to save the school have been concerned about how quickly the school division appears to be moving to dispose of the school. A tour of the school during class hours earlier this week by a private school upset parents and students.

Some of the fears that the school division was fast-tracking efforts to unload the school building were eased after Wednesday’s meeting. However, parents are determined to keep their proposal on top of the pile.

Charter schools — of which Alberta has about a dozen — are run by a non-profit group and funded by Alberta Education and must meet provincial education standards.

Russell said he assured Benalto supporters that the school division is following the legal process set out when disposing of property. A pair of appraisals are required before tender documents are prepared and advertised for a month.

A final decision will be made by the board in public, although discussions on offers will be held in camera, which is typical when legal, land or personnel issues are being considered.

Should the school go through the full tendering process, it is unlikely the board could make a decision before September given the summer break.

While it appeared the school division was moving quickly, the process to sell off assets is detailed and takes considerable time, he said.

The school division can dispose of property without going to tender if the new owner is another school board, municipal, federal or provincial government or a community association and other non-profit group. Ministerial approval is required before any deal is made.

Red Deer County has been advised of the school’s availability and council will discuss it in camera following Tuesday’s meeting. The county had voiced its support for keeping the school open.

211 service expanding to Red Deer County

Jaynie Williamson, 15, does some training with Andrew the miniature horse.

Tiny horse, big attitude

BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF Andrew is an itty-bitty horse with a sassy, oversized attitude.

When annoyed, he rears up on his hind legs and bucks in the air, said his Rimbey-area owner, Jaynie Williamson, 15. “Only it’s not very scary,” she added — since Andrew stands only 24-inches high.

Even by miniature horse standards, that’s short.

Jaynie, who does gymkhana events with her regular-sized mount, Pedro, and has spent her childhood moving in equine circles, says she’s never seen a horse as tiny as Andrew. Neither has her mother, Joy Williamson, who used to keep other miniature horses that were about a foot taller.

Joy calls Andrew “a silly little horse who thinks he’s the boss of our big horse … It’s really funny.”

While Andrew is kept in a separate run, so he doesn’t get stepped on by quarter-horse Pedro, the little guy takes every opportunity to join his bigger pal.

“He’s broken out about four times and he always ends up in the big field with Pedro … You’d think Pedro would be the boss, but he follows (Andrew) everywhere,” said Joy, with a chuckle.

The pint-sized steed was gifted to Jayne by family friends. They were moving to Medicine Hat from Blackfalds and didn’t have room for Andrew at their new home.

As Jaynie always loved frolicking with the mini-miniature horse, she agreed to take him in — and there hasn’t been a dull moment since on the

Williamson acreage, west of Rimbey.

Pedro, who was initially wary of Andrew, quickly warmed up to the shaggy yearling. However, the family’s black lab/Belgian shepherd cross, Jack, continues to give him a wide berth.

Jayne believes it’s because the dog towers over Andrew, and doesn’t yet know what to make of him.

Is he a dog or a horse?

“Jack was smelling his bum … he didn’t know what he was,” said Joy. Their wiener dog, Rudy, took to Andrew, as did their two cats, Herman and Farley, who curled up with the horse while he was napping on a dog bed in the shed. Joy admitted she isn’t sure what to do next winter.

Most miniature horses are hardy, but Andrew is so undersized “We might have to put him in the garage,” said Joy. While he isn’t supposed to enter the house, Jayne admitted that she and her younger brother, Joel, 13, have snuck Andrew indoors a few times when their parents were away. “We carry him up the stairs and put him on the couch.”

She feels the little horse prefers the comforts of home to his own unheated shelter.

The Grade 10 student at Rimbey Junior/Senior High School said little Andrew has been a big hit with her friends. “They come over so we can go riding, but we end up playing with Andrew instead.”

Jaynie plans to train him to pull a cart so she can show him off at a local horse driving club show. But it will have to be a custom cart, since even a little red wagon is too big for Andrew. lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

211 phone service to help people find community and social services is expanding to Red Deer County in July.

United Way of Central Alberta already provides the 211 phone service in Red Deer to connect residents with information on community and social services provided by non-profits and government.

Previously, Red Deer County residents could only access the 211 service online at ab.211.ca.

“The beauty of the phone line service is that people help you with the search. They are the experts in doing these searches. They can really drill down to the information that you want and get to the information you need,” said United Way executive director Robert Mitchell on Wednesday.

He said 211 staff are trained to ask questions to better understand what information callers want.

They are also aware of services that callers may not know exist.

The service connects to the 211 database for the entire province.

“If there isn’t a service available locally in Red Deer, they will know if it’s available in Calgary or Edmonton, for instance.”

Known as a community resource navigator, the one-stop call connects people to community information 24 hours a day, seven days a week that is available in over 200 languages.

He said the phone service receives about 250 calls monthly and due to the economic climate, employment-related information requests have been popular.

Mitchell said more people have started to call, but more people need to be aware that service is available.

FCSS Red Deer & District is contributing $20,000 to expand the phone service to the county and the communities of Bowden, Delburne, Penhold and Elnora.

The Town of Innisfail is also contributing $5,500 to connect its citizens to the phone service.

The expanded service will cost about $125,000 annually to operate.

Municipalities join forces to boost economic clout

BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF Clearwater County and Rocky Mountain House are joining forces to boost their economic development clout.

Councils for both municipalities have approved in principle a new 40-year Joint Development Area Agreement, which will see them prepare land for development and share future tax revenues.

Under the terms of the agreement, the town and county will work together identifying industrial and commercial areas and extending services to them.

To streamline the development process, much of the planning work will be done ahead of time.

The town has already identified areas to the north and south for future annexation to boost the community’s industrial and commercial land supply. To prepare for future growth, the county will do a major area structure plan.

“We need to have land that is designated and ready for development,” says Clearwater County Reeve Pat Alexander, in a statement announcing the partnership.

“By jointly planning and servicing an area, we believe this co-operative initiative of the two councils will create opportunity for new industrial and com-

mercial growth and with it new businesses and jobs — for the benefit and future of this region.”

Rocky Mayor Fred Nash said new growth will be encouraged by putting the planning in place and removing impediments to development.

Residents affected by the proposed joint development agreement and changes to an intermunicipal development plan will be contacted by the municipalities to meet. A public open house is planned for next month.

Canada BRIEFS Man killed in OHV rollover One person is dead following a rollover of a off highway vehicle near Birch Lake — Northwest of Sundre — on Saturday. According to RCMP, two men were riding in a Razor 800 Side by Side when they lost control after cresting a hill. The vehicle rolled and the 37-year-old driver — from Blackfalds — was pronounced dead after 45 minutes of CPR. The passenger, a 31-year-old man from Red Deer was transported to hospital by STARS Air Ambulance and is in stable condition.

Both men were reportedly wearing safety helmets and seat belts. The incident is under investigation.

Removing of old ‘Action Plan’ signs not Ottawa’s job, despite new ad policy

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Thousands of old “Economic Action Plan” signs dotting the Canadian landscape are not captured by a new federal advertising crackdown and will remain in place until whenever individual funding recipients get around to taking them down.

The Liberals introduced new federal policies this month designed to lift the taint of partisanship from publicly funded ads — a direct reaction, they said, to the former Conservative government’s behaviour.

But clearing away the last vestiges of the Conservatives’ whole-of-government, Economic Action Plan branding exercise is not Ottawa’s responsibility, the Privy Council Office told The Canadian Press.

“Please note that project signage for funded projects is not considered advertising,” PCO spokesman Raymond Rivet said in response to questions about the new ad policy and the old signs.

“Advertising consists of things like paid billboards and transit posters. Removal and disposal of signage is done by the organization leading the project…. Thus, any signage removal was/is undertaken by the funded organization in accordance with the contribution agreements.”

Moreover, the new policy came into effect May 11 and does not apply to “communication products” placed by previous governments.

When he announced the new rules at a May 12 news conference, Treasury Board President Scott Brison repeatedly stated “the policy applies to all government advertising and communication.”

And while he didn’t cite the Economic Action Plan by name, the Liberal minister justified the “strong policy response” by stating the “previous government, we believe, crossed the line repeatedly in terms of advertising and communication and in a way that was abusive of taxpayers interests and of democratic values.”

The new policy, he said, covers political party slogans, images or any kind of party affiliation.

Tens of millions of dollars were spent over the years advertising the Economic Action Plan, which was simply a slogan and marketing device for the

Conservatives’ massive, recession-fighting deficit budget of 2009 but continued uninterrupted through their final 2015 budget. Signs were still going up on new federally funded projects last August during the general election campaign.

The EAP, as it was known, even had its own internal government “Style Guide: Project Signage” that was explicit about signs being an integral part of “maintaining the integrity of the brand … for all communications products and activities including announcements, releases, advertising, marketing materials, web sites, backdrops and signage.”

Such unique branding is forbidden under the new policy, said PCO’s Rivet, but it doesn’t mean the end of placards heralding federally funded projects.

“Project signs are allowed if they use the official symbols correctly and adhere to the other requirements of the new policy, including the new definition of non-partisan,” said PCO, the central bureaucracy that serves cabinet and the prime minister.

As for the remaining EAP signs out there, PCO says it doesn’t centrally track the number — although at one point in 2010, 18 different federal departments and agencies were tracking sign placements and making mandatory weekly reports, which then found their way into memorandums for prime minister Stephen Harper.

As of Jan. 1, 2015, there were 22,235 “active projects in the system,” said Rivet.

“This does not translate directly to the number of signs that could still be present, as some of these initiatives have since been completed however this is the latest data available prior to the program ending.”

Those active projects don’t include thousands of older projects long since completed.

All are dependent on the local project manager for removal of signage.

At least some EAP funding agreements dictated that a sign had to be erected before the infrastructure would be deemed completed, with 20 per cent of funding held back until proof the distinctive sign was up.

SAANICH, B.C. — Police say a large fire that ripped through a Vancouver Island townhouse complex has been deemed suspicious. The blaze broke out Sunday night in a development near the University Heights shopping mall in Saanich. Sgt. Julie Fast with the Saanich Police Department said the fire is suspicious, and police and fire investigators are looking into the cause. Fast said that the fire was so intense that the siding on neighbouring homes was melted, a Saanich fire truck sustained heat damage and flying embers sparked small blazes in the area.

People living nearby the townhouse complex reported seeing high flames, and thick, billowing smoke. Neighbour John Gannon said he also heard explosions.

“A series of pop, pop followed by a very large bang,” Gannon said. “Then when I looked out my window I could see flames and thick pillar of black smoke.”

Conservative grassroots Displaced kids in humanitarian crises need seek change at convention more money, says Bibeau

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — The world must do more to educate children forced from their homes as it grapples with the epic level of humanitarian disaster unfolding across the globe, says Canada’s development minister.

Marie-Claude Bibeau said Monday that too little of the already insufficient amount of global humanitarian assistance is being directed to educate children forced to flee their homes.

Unless more resources are redirected, more children will lose out on education and become drawn to extremism, she said.

“It’s a matter of peace and security.

If we don’t take care of these children and there’s a risk that, especially if they live in neighbouring countries, if I don’t go to school, they don’t have hope,” Bibeau told The Canadian Press from the first World Humanitarian Summit in Istanbul.

Bibeau was representing Canada at the first major summit that is trying to reshape the world’s aid architecture to help it better deal with the estimated 125 million people that require humanitarian assistance, including 60 million forced from their homes.

The two-day gathering is an effort to address what the United Nations says is the most pervasive degree of humanitarian disaster since the end of the Second World War. Despite the soaring needs in places such as Syria and Sub-Saharan Africa, the UN faces a $15-billion funding shortfall in humanitarian funding.

But of the humanitarian money that is actually being spent, only two per cent of it goes towards educating young children, and that’s simply not enough, Bibeau said.

“We have to see it differently,” she said.

“Education is definitely needed when we know that refugees and displaced people stay out of their home for an average of 17 years. We don’t want to lose generations.”

Bibeau highlighted a $274-million Canadian spending announcement, which included contributions to the UN’s central emergency response fund, and to the food emergency in Ethiopia that has affected eight million people.

NEWS IN BRIEF

Missing boa constrictor recovered in duffel bag thanks to anonymous tip CORNER BROOK, N.L. — A missing three-metre boa constrictor that caused some concern among local residents was safely returned on Sunday to the pet store from which it was taken last week, the shop’s owners said.

She is currently overseeing a review of Canada’s foreign aid policy that will eventually lead to a five-year plan that is to be presented to cabinet later this year.

The government recently ended the five-year freeze under the previous Conservative government with a modest two-year, $256-million increase in overseas development assistance in the last federal budget.

But the government is under pressure to radically boost Canadian aid spending to meet the UN target of 0.7 per cent of Gross National Income.

Bibeau has said the government can’t go that far yet because that would involve injecting another $10 billion into Canada’s aid budget, something that simply isn’t affordable at the moment.

Nicolas Moyer, the executive director the Humanitarian Coalition, an umbrella group of five Canadian aid agencies, welcomed Monday’s spending announcement by the government, saying the current policy review was an opportunity for Canada to do more.

But dealing with the broader global problem will require high-level political input. Moyer was also in Istanbul on Monday and noted, as did many other attendees, that German Chancellor Angela Merkel was the only G7 leader at the conference.

“Senior political leadership is needed,” said Moyer.

“Globally, human beings spend more on bubble gum then we do on humanitarian assistance.”

Merkel used her opening address to highlight the problems behind aid delivery. “Very often pledges are being made but the money doesn’t get where it is most needed,” she said.

Merkel also decried the widespread disregard for international humanitarian law, which has included the indiscriminate targeting of civilians, and the bombing of hospitals, among other things.

Bibeau said Canada signed on to the conference’s UN-initiative called the “Grand Bargain,” a pact between donor countries and international organizations that seeks to make aid more efficient and attempts to close the $15-billion funding gap.

“Events like this one definitely put a lot of pressure on all the countries to honour their pledges,” said Bibeau.

The stolen serpent was turned over in a duffel bag by two women who said they purchased it for $300 from a “friend of a friend,” Wild World manager Taj Paris said in an interview Sunday.

The women said they were concerned for the snake’s well-being, Paris said, inviting him to collect the creature from a basement in one of their homes.

“She didn’t want to touch the snake,” Paris said.

“She just wanted us to have it back.”

The snake, named Venus, was stolen from the yet-to-open pet shop overnight Thursday along with hundreds of dollars and merchandise.

OTTAWA — The Conservative policy convention in Vancouver this week is a chance for the party’s leadership and its MPs to take the temperature of the membership.

It seems to be running a bit hot.

Scathing comments on how the party is run accusations from both rural and urban members that they are being ignored and calls to curb the power of the leader — these are among the top concerns raised in nearly seven dozen amendments to the party’s constitution put forward by riding associations across the country.

“We have grassroots concerns and it’s important that the convention hear those concerns,” said Harold Albrecht, an MP whose riding association has suggested several of the amendments, mostly aimed at opening up the closed door of the party’s executive.

It’s the first time party members will gather since the Conservatives lost power last fall when Stephen Harper stepped down as party leader. He is the only leader the party had ever known up until that point and a number of proposed amendments suggest frustration with the way he and the party’s executive exercised their control.

Albrecht’s Kitchener-Conestoga riding association had a few harsh words about how Dimitri Soudas, a former director of communications for the prime minister, became the party’s executive director.

Harper handpicked him for the post — and under the terms of the party’s existing constitution, that’s how the position is filled. But Soudas was eventually forced to step down after interfering in the efforts of his partner, then-Conservative MP Eve Adams, to secure the party nomination for an Ontario riding.

&COATINGS INC.

(The duo would go on to leave the Conservative party and Adams joined the Liberals. She lost her bid to run for them in the last election.)

“The leader’s pick for executive director was an absolute disaster,” the riding association writes in its proposal to put the national council in charge of choosing the executive director’s job.

With the party set to choose its next leader in 2017, the membership appears to be looking for more control of the process both before and after the vote. The current system sees leaders elected through a points system. Each riding is worth 100 points and how many points each candidate gets reflects their percentage of the vote in that riding.

It’s an unfair system, one proposal suggests.

“It renders the party vulnerable to a candidate leader who can concentrate his/her resources to gain support from relatively few people in arrangements redolent of the rotten boroughs of 18th century England,” two district associations in Thunder Bay, Ont., and Nepean write.

The way the Tories choose their leader has been a recurring fight at conventions dating back to the merger of the Reform and Progressive Conservative parties in 2004. At the last convention, some tried to get the rules changed to reflect one member, one vote, but ultimately lost.

After that leader is chosen, party members are looking for more control over how long they stay.

There are several calls for more frequent leadership reviews. One is linked to the fact that while in government the Conservatives decided to proceed with lawsuits against veterans and suggest there is no social covenant with them — despite party policy that urges the contrary.

Sharks smell blood in the water PUT BLUES ON THE BRINK AFTER GAME 5 WIN

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Sharks 6 Blues 3 ST. LOUIS — All the time Joe Pavelski has spent practicing his stick work has paid off big for the San Jose Sharks.

And the Sharks captain has his team on the brink of their first trip to the Stanley Cup Final.

“You think back to some of the best scorers ever, his ability to get his stick on pucks in front of the net from different angles is as good as anybody I’ve ever seen,” coach Peter DeBoer said.

“His biggest asset is he works at it.”

With the Sharks trailing by a goal, Pavelski tied the game late in the second period and then scored the goahead goal in the opening minute of the third period in the Sharks’ 6-3 victory over the St. Louis Blues for a 3-2 lead in Western Conference final on Monday night.

“You play a good game like that, you want to ride that,” Pavelski said. “Everyone’s played a key role so far and it’s going to have to continue.”

Joel Ward also scored twice, including one of two empty-netters, in the final minute for San Jose, which can close out the series at home on Wednesday night. Joe Thornton had three assists.

“We just keep coming. We’re not going to give up and they’re not going to give up,” Thornton said. “Both teams, we’re here for a reason.”

The Sharks had a strong response after losing 6-3 in Game 4 in San Jose.

“We’ve done it all season, all playoff run,” forward Logan Couture said. “If we get down, the bench stays pretty even, pretty calm.”

Pavelski leads all players in the playoffs with 12 goals and has three two-goal games, one in each series.

The Sharks’ captain added an assist and is tied with Couture for the post-season points lead, each with a franchise-record 21 points.

“It’s good to see Sharks up there,”

San Jose Sharks right wing Joonas Donskoi (27) chases the puck against St. Louis Blues goalie Jake Allen (34) during the third period in Game 5 of the NHL Stanley Cup Western Conference finals, Monday, in St. Louis.

Couture said.

Rookie Robby Fabbri scored and David Backes had an assist for St. Louis. Both were questionable coming off injuries in Game 4.

But star forward Vladimir Tarasenko was silent again. Tarasenko was minus-2 with one shot and is scoreless in the series after getting seven goals and 13 points in the first two rounds.

“He’s struggled this series,” coach Ken Hitchcock said. “He hasn’t gotten the looks that he normally gets. But he’s one shift away from breaking it open.”

The Blues are just 4-6 at home in the post-season, and failed to hold leads of 2-1 and 3-2 in Game 5. They’re

6-3 on the road and need another win to bring the series home for Game 7.

“We did it in Game 4,” Backes said.

“Now, we’ve got to go in there and do it again.”

The Sharks are 6-2 at home in the post-season and need one more win to reach the Cup Final.

“I think we’re reminding them we’re not there yet,” DeBoer said. “There’s a lot of heavy lifting yet.”

The Sharks were 2 for 3 on the power play after entering 2 for 15 in the series.

Troy Brouwer batted in a rebound from midair for St. Louis and Ward scored a similar goal for San Jose with his first of the game.

Brouwer leads St. Louis with eight goals in 19 games this post-season after totalling seven in his first 78 playoff games.

Pavelski was left alone in the slot on a power play at 18:33 of the second and beat Jake Allen to tie it at 3-3. He redirected Brent Burns’ drive from the point 16 seconds into the third to put the Sharks in front to stay.

San Jose goalie Martin Jones allowed three goals on the Blues’ first 13 shots, but stopped all seven shots in the third period.

“He’s a great goalie,” defenceman Roman Polak said. “He’s mentally strong. No matter what happened in the first or second, it doesn’t matter.”

Raptors even series with Cavaliers

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Raptors 105 Cavaliers 99 TORONTO — The Toronto Raptors say they never stopped believing — even when it seemed like no one else did.

On a night that marked their most dramatic game of this historic post-season run, the Raptors clawed their way back to even up the NBA Eastern Conference finals with a 10599 victory over Cleveland on Monday.

“Someone mentioned that we were in it just to win one game, we’re in it to compete for a championship,” coach Dwane Casey said. “Nobody gives us a snowball’s chance in you know where to beat Cleveland.”

Kyle Lowry scored 35 points, while fellow all-star DeMar DeRozan added 32. DeMarre Carroll chipped in with 11 points, while Bismack Biyombo hauled down a game-high 14 rebounds in a thrilling victory that came just two games after the Raptors had been all but written off.

“Honestly, we’ve been playing with our backs against the wall. We never cared what nobody else thought,” DeRozan said. “It was a challenge for us every single day. We’ve been counted out, and we liked that challenge.”

Few picked the Raptors to steal more than a token win against the Cavs, who roared red-hot into the conference finals having swept Detroit and Atlanta.

Toronto dropped Games 1 and 2 in Cleveland by a combined 50 points, and it seemed the Raptors were writing their obituary. But bolstered by the hometown crowd, they won Game 3 in dominant fashion.

Backed by Lowry’s sharp-shooting on Monday, the Raptors raced out to an 18-point first half lead. But the Cav-

And when Kyrie Irving drained two in a row, he pointed at Drake — the Toronto rapper and Cavs heckler — as he ran back upcourt.

The Raptors led 78-69 to start the fourth, but when Channing Frye drained three straight threes, and

James scored on a driving layup with 8:20 left, the Cavaliers took their first lead of the game.

“At the beginning of the fourth quarter, we lost our composure,” Casey said. “When we put the starters back in, they regained their foothold.

I thought that was huge for us. I’ve always said: compete with poise, stay consistent with your emotions. That’s

paying dividends for us now as we go through this tough series with a great Cleveland team.”

Toronto hit back with five straight points to take a three-point advantage into the game’s final three minutes.

The Raptors were up by four with a minute to play and their defence came up huge, with a couple of key rebounds and a Biyombo block.

Lowry drove to the hoop for a basket with 23 seconds left, to the ear-splitting roar of the Air Canada Centre crowd, and was fouled on the play. He missed both free throws, but crowd didn’t care — they saluted him with chants of “M-V-P!” “No matter what, we’re confident,” Patrick Patterson said. “When we were down 0-2, we were still confident. We’re always going to believe in ourselves. We’re always going to have faith that we can win — whether we’re down, whether we’re on the road, whether we’re home, we’re going to constantly believe that we can win.”

Game 5 is Wednesday in Cleveland, then the series returns to Toronto for Game 6 on Friday.

The post-season has been a roller-coaster for the Raptors, especially Lowry and DeRozan. The two were asked what has been their steadying force.

“Understand the work that we’ve put in. I know the work he’s put in and I know the work I’ve put in,” Lowry said. “You can’t go away from that. The things that we’ve learned is one game, two games erases everything that has happened before.”

“We can take the bad with the good any day,” DeRozan added. “It’s life, man. You can’t get too down when things not going your way, but you understand the work that you put in all summer, all throughout the season, for moments like this.”

Canada tops Finland for second straight world hockey championship

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Canada 2 Finland 0 MOSCOW — Connor McDavid’s first goal of the world hockey championship proved to be golden. The defence and goaltending took care of the rest.

McDavid’s goal in the first period stood as the winner, backing a 16-save shutout from Cam Talbot as Canada defended its world championship title with a 2-0 win over Finland in the tournament final on Sunday.

“We didn’t really feed into their transition and didn’t really give them any chance to get anything going off the rush or the end zone,” McDavid said. “Anything that we did give up, (Talbot) was amazing.”

The 19-year-old Oilers centre, who became the youngest player ever to win gold at the world under-18 tournament, world junior championship and world championship, had eight assists in the first nine games of the tournament, but was one of just two Canadian forwards not to have recorded a goal coming into the gold-medal game.

McDavid ended his drought at the 11:24 mark of the first period, driving to the net and deking out sprawling Finnish netminder Mikko Koskinen.

Matt Duchene added an empty-net goal with one second left on the clock to seal the win. Talbot’s shutout was his tournament-leading fourth.

“I think we did a good job defensively as a group,” said coach Bill Peters. “Our goaltenders were outstand-

ing each and every night. I think the team in front of (Talbot) was better tonight than the team in front of him versus Finland in the round-robin play (when Canada lost its only game, 4-0).”

The Canadians registered the first seven shots of the game and adjusted based on what they’d seen from Finland in the preliminary round.

“We used our speed more, we came up with numbers, we made sure we got it deep and we played them in the O zone,” said Duchene. “You look at the shots (33-16 for Canada). I don’t know what they had but we doubled them up on shots. Their goalie was good again, They kept us to the outside.

“You get that one (goal) early and make them play from behind, it’s a different game.”

>>>>

In a hard-hitting second period, Canada outshot the Finns 13-4. The best Finnish chances came with Mark Scheifele serving a slashing penalty late in the period, when Talbot stopped Jarno Koskiranta on the doorstep, then denied Patrick Laine as he shot the puck while streaking down the right wing.

Canada continued its aggressive approach in the third, outshooting the Finns 9-5 as the clock ticked down.

“It was tough,” said Finnish forward Jussi Jokinen. “They played really good team defence and kind of used our keys, what we’ve been able to do the whole tournament, kind of shut the other teams down. We weren’t able to create much, and they deserve all the credit tonight.”

BRIEF Hinchcliffe takes Indy 500 pole INDIANAPOLIS — All James Hinchcliffe wanted this week was a good car.

Turns out, he’ll have the best view in this year’s Indianapolis 500 field.

The Canadian driver, who started second in the race in 2012 and 2014, edged out American Josef Newgarden on the final qualifying attempt of the weekend to claim his first IndyCar pole. Hinchcliffe posted a four-lap average of 230.760 mph, barely ahead of Newgarden, who came in at 230.700.

“It was a great run. The car was stellar,” Hinchcliffe said after winning the fourth-closest pole contest in the race’s 100-year history. “We have the best seat in the house for the biggest race in history.”

Hinchcliffe, who drives for Schmidt Peterson Motorsports, turned one of the most chaotic qualifying weekends in recent memory into one of the most

heartwarming stories of the year.

A year ago, Hinchcliffe watched the 500 from a hospital bed after a broken suspension part punctured him in the left leg. The injury required lifesaving surgery and forced one of the series’ most popular drivers to miss the season’s final 11 races as he fought his way back to racing.

A core group of players from last year is joined by some veterans and rising stars as the Red Deer Renegades kick off their 12th season.

The group starts their Alberta Major League Soccer season on May 28 as the Renegades go on the road to Calgary to play the Rapids FC. Among the returning players are Hayley Carlson, a one-time Red Deer athlete of the year; the team’s top scorer in 2015 Robyn Macdonald; and NAIT midfielder Terra Salmon.

The Basic Beef PornBurger is the basis of elaborate creations such as the Slumberjack.

Basic Beef PornBurgers 12 servings “PornBurger” author Mathew Ramsey considers this to be the perfect blend for juicy, well-rounded beef burgers, with notes of “buttery richness, nuttiness, and even a subtle kiss of grass.” It’s pictured here in a re-creation of the Slumberjack from his cookbook, built with a crispy potato pancake, sausage and mushroom gravy, a fried egg and scallion on a cheddar buttermilk biscuit.

In the book, Ramsey offers several ways to cook a beef burger; we used his “skillet/ pan-fried” technique. He follows a ratio of 1 part sirloin to 1 1/2 parts short rib to 2 parts chuck. To cook the burgers on an outdoor grill, see the VARIATION, below.

MAKE AHEAD: The parts of your meat grinder and the meat itself need to be chilled in the freezer for 20 to 30 minutes before using. You may have ground meat left over; it can be frozen (in separate cuts) for up to 3 months.

Ingredients One 1-pound sirloin steak, preferably aged, cut into 1-inch-wide strips 1 1/2 pounds boneless short ribs, cut into 1-inch-wide pieces One 2-pound boneless chuck roast, cut into 1-inch-wide strips 1 tablespoon canola oil, or as needed Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper Steps Place the strips and pieces of sirloin, makes him great, is that these beautiful, picturesque dishes come out of a very small basement apartment.”

It wasn’t long before other blogs took notice. Ramsey’s photos were picked up by Gizmodo, BuzzFeed and Grub Street, and the opportunities began pouring in. He was contacted by reporters from Norway, Japan and Australia. He got an offer to collaborate on a women’s underwear line. He began workshopping a television concept that he says may or may not happen, in which he would travel around the world to discover new ingredients, then make burgers out of them. It was his first chance to make money from the blog; he had resisted advertising because he thought it would “muddy the creative waters.”

And he got the book deal. Because he had been making burgers for fun and photographs, he’d never written down many of his recipes, so he had to retrace his steps. There were a few burgers he was never able to replicate.

The phrase “food porn” comes and

short rib and chuck on a rimmed baking sheet (or other flat pan that will fit in your freezer). Place the meat grinder parts in the freezer, too. Freeze the meat and metal for 20 to 30 minutes.

Grind each cut of meat separately, using the large die on a low speed; reserve any remaining beef for another use. If the meat is not still quite cold, return it to the freezer for 10 minutes or so.

Combine the grinds and grind them together one more time, using the small die.

Try not to compact or press the combined ground beef. Gently form the mixture into 4 balls of equal size, keeping your touch light to further form them into patties. Place them in the refrigerator while the pan heats.

Heat a large cast-iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once it’s quite hot, add the oil and swirl to coat.

Season the patties generously all over with salt and pepper. Working in batches as needed, cook the burgers until their internal temperature taken at the center registers 125 to 130 degrees (medium-rare), turning them every 45 seconds or so to help develop a nice crust.

VARIATION: To grill the burgers outdoors, preheat a gas grill to high for at least 15 minutes before cooking. For a charcoal grill, make sure the coals are glowing orange and ashed over.

Embracing impermanence Which brings us to wabi-sabi, a word that sounds as if it could be an exotic burger condiment. Instead, it’s a Japanese philosophy of life that values austerity and modesty, traits that seem incompatible with PornBurger’s excess. But wabi-sabi is the medium-rare middle of Ramsey’s cowboy exterior: a practice, along with his intermittent study of Buddhism, that drives his creativity and worldview. One of its tenets is that of impermanence: All things, from art to scientific theorems to the planets and stars, “eventually fade into oblivion and nonexistence,” according to one of Ramsey’s books on the subject.

The key to life is to enjoy things in the moment. Including food.

RDSO closes out season in style LANA MICHELIN REVIEW It was a big, cymbals-crashing, kettle drum-booming finish for the Red Deer Symphony Orchestra’s season on Friday night at the Red Deer College Arts Centre.

You’ve got to hand it to Russian composer Modest Mussorgsky for really knowing how to wrap up a composition — in this case with his famous, grandiose Great Gate of Kiev theme from his Pictures at an Exhibition.

You’ve also got to credit the RDSO for knowing how to make a grand, endof-season exit. About 80 musicians, both from the RDSO and guest musicians from the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra, crowded onto the stage to create some colourful noise with Mussorgsky’s great work, which describes an 1874 posthumous exhibit of pictures by visual artist Viktor Hartmann.

With this monumental piece, Mussorgsky proved it’s possible to describe visual art with music — even though it’s kind of like dancing about architecture.

The combined orchestras performed Maurice Ravel’s orchestration of Mussorgsky’s piano composition and

Red Deer Chambers Singers celebrating 40 years with concert The Red Deer Chamber Singers are celebrating a four-decade anniversary at a spring concert on Saturday, May 28.

The Singers will pay tribute to 40 years of singing with Sadie Braun at the Gaetz Memorial United Church event.

An eclectic program is in store for lovers of ancient, Renaissance, classical, sacred and folk music. And the evening will end with a mass chorus, made up of some alumni members of the group who will attend the concert and peruse some of the scrapbooks on display.

MEMORIAL CUP Two Central Alberta bands will play free concerts tonight and Wednesday night for fans, before and after Memorial Cup games.

Local rock band Medisinal, a trio of musicians influenced by such classic rock bands as AC/DC and Tragically Hip, will play tonight at Molson Hockey House in the Prairie Pavilion.

Favourite local Celtic-rock band St.

created a vivid listening experience. It started with an overture depicting people walking through a gallery, continuing with a sinister passage describing Hartmann’s sketch of a gnome-shaped nutcracker.

A famous saxophone melody took listeners into Hartmann’s picture of a troubadour singing at a castle. More scenes were aurally painted: of lively play in the Tuileries gardens in Paris;

a grotesque march, reflecting Hartmann’s drawing of a Slavic folkloric witch.

Mussorgsky’s piece concluded in triumphal, percussive tones that describe Hartmann’s grand design for a city gate that was never built. Cue the gongs, the drums, the cymbals, the horns — and ultimately an ovation for the orchestras’ expressive rendering of a unique work.

“YOU’VE ALSO GOT TO CREDIT THE RDSO FOR KNOWING HOW TO MAKE A GRAND, END-OF-SEASON EXIT. ABOUT 80 MUSICIANS, BOTH FROM THE RDSO AND GUEST MUSICIANS FROM THE EDMONTON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA, CROWDED ONTO THE STAGE TO CREATE SOME COLOURFUL NOISE WITH MUSSORGSKY’S GREAT WORK, WHICH DESCRIBES AN 1874 POSTHUMOUS EXHIBIT OF PICTURES BY VISUAL ARTIST VIKTOR HARTMANN.” of a Polish oxcart rolling along to the sound of a tuba; of a chirpy ballet featuring whimsical chicks still in their shells.

Midway through, a more dramatic tone was set by the string section, contrasting portraits of a rich Jewish man and a poor one.

The composition became stormier and gloomier, describing a marketplace dispute and a walk through the Roman catacombs. Then it turned into The group of 20 singers was formed in the mid ’70s by Braun, who had previously directed the all-women’s group, The Waska-Sues. Braun started what was originally called The Madrigal Singers as a mixed choir of men and women.

The group’s musical selections have spanned the centuries as group membership changed over the years. Since 2007, the Chamber Singers have been under the direction of Sadie’s daughter, Sharon Braun, who’s a voice instructor at Red Deer College and frequent soloist with the Red Deer Symphony Orchestra.

But Sadie has remained an integral group member and piano accompanist.

James Gate will entertain on Wednesday night.

Molson Hockey House is a meeting place for fans headed to the evening game at the Enmax Centrium, and the central watering hole (beer garden) for all the action after the game.

Molson Hockey House will open 4 hours before each game and has free entry, unless otherwise indicated. The venue will temporarily close at puck drop, re-opening at the end of the second intermission. It’s open post-game only to those 18 years of age and older.

10oz PRIME RIB DINNER

Although the RDSO audience was somewhat depleted, those who didn’t choose to instead watch the Red Deer Rebels play a Memorial Cup game, were up on their feet applauding.

The concert started in less imposing, but no less descriptive style. RDSO music director Claude Lapalme premiered his original composition, Under the Domes of San Marco, performed by RDSO musicians.

Lapalme imagined all the great

music performed in this Venice landmark, from the Renaissance to the late Baroque period. His piece references — or as Lapalme put it “generously pilfers” — from the works of several composers, especially one of his favourites, Claudio Monteverdi.

Chimes reminiscent of church bells started the piece. Snippets of various melodies faded in and out — almost as if someone walking though St. Mark’s Basilica heard ghostly echoes of music from various eras. Sometimes these tunes collided and created dissonance.

The composition slowed and nearly faded away, until a fragment of familiar violin melody was faintly heard once again.

Although this work required more of listeners than most of Lapalme’s more melodious arrangements, the compelling composition received a warm audience reception.

The descriptive theme was carried on through a third piece on the program — French composer JeanPhilippe Rameau’s Pygmalion excerpts. Lapalme said these were “written to delight.” The stately overture, gracious ballets, a sedate minuet and a lively tambourin, certainly delivered on this aim.

With such a memorable season-closing show, RDSO listeners will eagerly anticipate the seven concerts lined up for 2016-17. lmichelin@redderadvocate.com

‘Angy Birds’ soar past ‘Civil War’ at box office LOS ANGELES — Captain America has found a worthy competitor in a bunch of flightless birds. The Angry Birds Movie soared to $39 million in its debut weekend, knocking Captain America: Civil War off its first-place perch, while new adult comedies Neighbors 2 and the The Nice Guys struggled to get their footing, according to comScore estimates Sunday.

Rovio Animation spearheaded the production of The Angry Birds Movie, which cost around $73 million to make, and opened strong internationally last weekend. The film has already earned $150 million worldwide, according to estimates from Sony, which is distributing the film.

The Angry Birds Movie features the voices of Jason Sudeikis, Josh Gad and Danny McBride and has received mixed reviews from critics in its attempt to create a compelling story out of a fairly simplistic app-based game.

But audiences under 25 gave the film an A CinemaScore which should help the film continue to perform well over Memorial Day weekend.

“It’s very difficult turning a video game property into a successful movie,” said Josh Greenstein, Sony’s President of Worldwide Marketing and Distribution.

“To use a bad pun, we are flying high.”

Video game adaptations have not had the best track record, but comScore’s Senior Media Analyst Paul Dergarabedian notes that the success of Angry Birds likely has more to do

with its family appeal and ingrained brand recognition.

“Families are always looking for out of the home content,” Dergarabedian said, noting also that this is the latest in a string of very successful PG-rated films including The Jungle Book and Zootopia.

“PG is the hot new rating now.

There used to be a stigma that younger teens wouldn’t be interested,” he said.

“The numbers prove that when you go after the broadest base possible, you can be highly successful.”

The PG-13 rated Captain America: Civil War wasn’t too far behind, earning an additional $33.1 million this weekend for a second-place spot, which brings its domestic total to $347.4 million.

And, even in its third weekend in theatres, the superhero proved mightier than a fresh batch of R-rated comedies, Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising and The Nice Guys, both of which underwhelmed in their debuts.

Neighbours 2 brought in only $21.8 million — less than half of the first film’s $49 million opening in 2014. But the film from director Nick Stoller also cost only $35 million to make.

“We’re really proud of Neighbours 2,” said Nick Carpou, Universal’s President of Domestic Distribution. “We’re not just out there trying to go to the bank on something. It really is a different take.”

Stars Seth Rogen, Rose Byrne and Zac Efron all returned for the sequel which puts a new spin on the frat next door idea by having the young family’s new neighbours be a sorority comprised of girls upset about the unequal

1. The Angry Birds Movie, $39 million.

5. The Jungle Book, $11 million.

6. Money Monster, $7.1 million.

rules for fraternities and sororities.

The R-rated 70s-set buddy comedy The Nice Guys, meanwhile, grossed $11.3 million for a fourth-place spot.

Warner Bros. handled the domestic distribution for the Shane Black-directed film, which stars Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe and has been very well-received by critics but seemed to fly under the radar on this crowded weekend.

While the comedy openings might be less than hoped for, both could still provide decent counterprogramming to the spectacle-driven films opening on Memorial Day weekend, when mega productions X-Men: Apocalypse and Alice Through the Looking Glass take over.

Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theatres, according to comScore.

Madonna, Stevie Wonder pay homage to Prince BILLBOARD MUSIC AWARDS

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Madonna paid homage to Prince by wearing his signature colour and bringing another icon — Stevie Wonder — onstage to sing the classic “Purple Rain” at Sunday’s Billboard Music Awards.

Sitting atop a purple throne, Madonna kicked off the tribute with a version of “Nothing Compares 2 U,” which Prince wrote and Sinead O’Connor recorded. She, teary-eyed as she sang the song, videos and photos of Prince projected behind her.

Wonder, in a purple scarf, later joined her for “Purple Rain” as the audience at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas sang along.

“Most of all, thank you Prince Rogers Nelson for all that you’ve given us,” Madonna said.

Prince died on April 21 at age 57. The icons collaborated on “Love Song” in 1989 and Madonna was met with criticism online when Billboard announced she would be the one to pay homage to The Purple One. Some felt she should not do the tribute alone, and others said a black artist should be involved.

“All of us live in the land of music and his departure was an earthquake,” Roots drummer Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson said before the performance.

“I just want to take a moment to remember the great Prince Rogers Nelson.”

The Weeknd, the night’s big winner with eight, dedicated an award to Prince and told the audience, “I love him so much. I didn’t know him, but he was so close to me. He will always be an inspiration.”

However, The Weeknd lost the night’s big award — top artist — to Adele, who didn’t attend the show because she’s on tour.

Celine Dion and Kesha, both in the midst of drama in their personal lives, gave emotional performances during the three-hour show.

Dion sang Queen’s “The Show Must Go On” in strong form, sporting a shiny dress and backed by a powerful orchestra. Dion lost her husband and brother in the same week in January, and her son presented her with the Billboard icon award after her performance.

“I’m so sorry. I’m sorry for crying. I want to be so strong for my family and kids … I don’t want to cry in front of you,” a teary Dion said.

Kesha sang a heart-wrenching cover of Bob Dylan’s “It Ain’t Me Babe.” She earned a standing ovation from the audience, a welcome response after the performance was initially nixed by her former mentor, Dr. Luke. They have been at odds since she accused of him of drugging and sexually abusing her.

Grits were elbows-up before PM got physical TIM HARPER OPINION

S

trip away the contrition, the high dudgeon and the blinkered Liberal apologists suggesting we should just get past the sorry spectacle in the House of Commons this past week and you are left with an unassailable truth.

The Justin Trudeau Liberals have been treating the Commons as an annoyance, an inconvenient necessity that merely gets in the way of the Liberal show and its ever-burgeoning approval rating.

This is the place where they stack committees on electoral reform, limit debate because they have mismanaged their legislative agenda and almost — incredibly - lose a vote to an old parliamentary trick when too few Liberals bothered to show up for work.

Before Wednesday’s fracas, the Liberals had doubled down with a threatened motion that all but neutered the opposition, giving government ministers and parliamentary secretaries full control of the timing of debate.

After Trudeau’s latest apologies Thursday morning, his government backed down on that motion in the af-

ternoon.

Actions do have consequences.

Trudeau’s elbows-up intervention was the perfect metaphor for the elbows-up Liberal approach in the Commons, an attitude that had finally aroused the resolve of a combined opposition that has gone through its six stages of grief over its post-election plight and remembered it is there to oppose this government.

The Liberal petulance over having to deal with an opposition reached its apex when Trudeau strode purposely across the aisle, spouted an obscenity, grabbed Conservative Gord Brown by the arm and in a Rob Ford bull-ina-china-shop moment, elbowed New Democrat Ruth Ellen Brosseau in the chest.

He impatiently acted like he ran the joint.

He doesn’t.

“It’s as if the prime minister and his Liberals don’t want a government and an opposition — they just want a government and an audience,” said Conservative interim leader Rona Ambrose.

Yes, politics broke out all over the place here, as it does from time to time, mainly Monday to Friday and the occasional weekend.

The NDP reacted as if its members were being carted off on stretchers, and the Conservatives — the party of prorogation — spent most of Thursday offering up dime-store psychology for

Trudeau or verging on tears over the sanctity of the House.

And, yes, there was opposition chicanery afoot, and that is about as newsworthy as reporting that it got dark last night but turned light this morning.

This particular “mischief” may have delayed proceedings by a minute or less — and grabbing Brown was unnecessary to getting proceedings moving — but the prime ministerial intervention has pushed the Liberal legislative agenda back even further. Meeting a Supreme Court deadline for an assisted-dying bill looks ever more elusive.

This was an unforced error by a man who rode to victory offering a more inclusive politics with a softer, more collegial, collaborative tone, and it came a day after the justice minister, Jody Wilson-Raybould, graciously brought New Democrat MP Randall Garrison to an announcement on transgender rights.

That was swept away by the return of the impetuous Trudeau, the Trudeau who kicked his Liberal senators out of the caucus or summarily dismissed two MPs over alleged sexual harassment, or labelled the former Conservative environment minister Peter Kent “a piece of s—-,” in the Commons in 2011. For that, as he did for his actions this week, Trudeau “unreservedly” apologized.

We appear to have hit a turning point here this week. The Liberal petulance and hubris had been exposed

in the ugliest way.

Trudeau and his government pulled back in the wake of the embarrassment.

Perhaps this will embolden others wary of a seemingly bulletproof government.

Coincidentally, this was laid out to me in a meeting with an official from a leading advocacy organization in the relative safety of a Starbucks, a couple of blocks from Roller Derby track in Centre Block, earlier the same day.

This organization had decided to holster its criticism of this government, deciding to later pick its spot because it believed such critical reports would be ignored and the organization would become an outlier given the Liberal approval rating.

The sense is that opposing views are ignored by this government, enamoured as it is by its public standing.

That had spread to the Commons and Trudeau’s actions were the extreme manifestation of a prime minister and a government used to getting its way, on its terms and timetable.

Trudeau’s apology appeared sincere and should be accepted by all concerned.

He has a huge cache of political capital. No one should underestimate how much of that capital he just spent.

Trump, Brexit all about nationalists vs. globalists PAT MURPHY OPINION

S

cratch the surface on many of today’s contentious topics and you’ll find the clash between nationalism and globalism at the heart.

While some people worry that the concept of national sovereignty and control is being eroded, others see such a development as a feature rather than a bug.

To the nationalist, preserving national identity and autonomy is a prime virtue. To the globalist, it’s overrated.

Take, for instance, the question of border security.

Donald Trump and his supporters — nationalists by any reasonable definition — hold the view that a country without defined and protected borders isn’t really a country. So America’s chronically porous southern boundary is a matter of enormous, even visceral, concern to them.

Those favouring Brexit — Britain’s exit from the European Union (EU) — have a similar perspective. Since membership in the EU hobbles Britain’s ability to control immigration RED DEER

from other EU states, Brexiters fret about the impacts on accommodation costs, health services, job competition and so forth.

In contrast, globalists tend to be more relaxed about these things. To be sure, not many American liberals explicitly call for open borders or endorse illegal immigration, but neither do they exhibit much enthusiasm for any remedial steps. And if anyone else dares to take on that task, accusations of meanness and xenophobia follow in short order.

In part, the argument is about material issues.

Does the lack of border and immigration control negatively impact the quality of life for at least some of the prior population? And to the extent that it does so, is the price more than counterbalanced by the benefits delivered to the broader society?

But the debate goes further than this. There’s also the matter of cultural heritage.

For globalists, one of large-scale immigration’s positives is its diversifying effect on the host society. Nationalists, on the other hand, worry about a consequent loss of cultural heritage.

After all, if diversity is real in anything but the most superficial sense, it will inevitably change the general social environment. And while some see that as enrichment, others experience it as News News tips 403-314-4333 Sports line 403-343-2244 News fax 403-341-6560 Sports editor 403-314-4363 editorial@reddeeradvocate.com

alienating dilution.

The overt ceding of sovereignty is another flashpoint, particularly in the EU. Nationalists aren’t averse to close international co-operation on matters of mutual interest — trade, security, the environment — but they draw the line at surrendering any powers of self-government. To quote a pro-Brexit Conservative MP, “I don’t want to make the laws which control the Italians, the Spaniards or the Poles, and I don’t want them to make the laws which control me.”

Globalists, however, are often amenable to supranationalism, defined as transferring decision-making authority from the nation-state to global institutions. Indeed, for many, the concept of such global governance represents the highest level of idealistic aspiration.

Meanwhile, and largely by stealth, the EU has already gone a considerable distance in this direction. According to some estimates, 40 to 60 per cent of European domestic laws now have their origin at the EU level. Former American diplomat Todd Huizinga puts it tartly: “The average national minister from an EU member state spends overwhelming amounts of time attending EU meetings in Brussels, then transposing EU regulation into national law, and finally enforcing

laws and regulations that originated in Brussels.”

And this cleavage between nationalist and globalist perspectives bleeds into all sorts of other areas, citizenship being a subtle example.

In a comprehensive analysis of the recent changes loosening Canadian rules, immigration lawyer Steven Meurrens makes this point: “To some, being a Canadian citizen is a fundamental part of their identity, and to many immigrants becoming a Canadian citizen is a life-changing event. To others, Canadian citizenship is simply the ability to obtain a Canadian passport, which can serve as a quasi-insurance policy to those living abroad should they ever need to leave their countries on short notice and be guaranteed admittance to Canada.”

Most of us, I suspect, don’t think about this subject very often. And when we do, we probably don’t locate ourselves at either end of the continuum.

But whether we think about it or not, the tension between the two perspectives is very real and we’ll have to live with the consequences of how it turns out. So maybe a little forethought wouldn’t be a bad idea.

Firefighters help their colleagues deal with stress of wildfire

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

Evacuees drive past a fireball as a wildfire rips through the forest beside Highway 63, some 16 kilometres south of Fort McMurray, May 7. Police say a British Columbia man is facing charges for impersonating a Fort McMurray evacuee and allegedly taking advantage of people who were trying to help.

Man charged after allegedly impersonating Fort McMurray wildfire evacuee

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CLARESHOLM— Police say a British Columbia man is facing charges for allegedly impersonating a Fort McMurray evacuee and taking advantage of people who were trying to help.

The RCMP says it received a complaint from Family and Community Support Services in Claresholm, Alta., about a man and woman suspected of pretending to be among the wildfire evacuees.

Police allege the man travelled to Claresholm and “took advantage” of people who thought they were helping wildfire victims.

They say Darryl Rondeau, 45, of Victoria, B.C., has been charged with fraud under $5,000.

Kieth Carlson, owner of Roy’s Place restaurant in Claresholm, said he wasn’t surprised when police contacted him about the case. He said he was suspicious not long after a woman came into the restaurant asking for a job. She said she had fled the flames in Fort McMurray with only the clothes on her back.

“I said, ‘I’m looking for cooks,’ and she claimed she knew how to cook,” Carlson said. “I said, ‘Well, let’s give you a job.”’

But he said when she returned later with her partner, she said she had a health issue, and the man was concerned that the stress she was going through might exacerbate it. She couldn’t accept the job.

“When she didn’t take the job and had a few excuses about everything, I just went, OK, they’re not in that big of a need,” Carlson said.

Despite his suspicions, Carlson invited the couple back to the restaurant

that evening for a free meal. They ordered steaks, Carlson believes.

Carlson said they asked him to come out of the kitchen to thank him, but he sent word back to their table that he was busy and that it was no big deal.

RCMP allege the couple never actually lived in Fort McMurray and had no ties to Alberta. Police said while they were in Claresholm, townspeople provided them with a place to stay, clothes, meals and bought a pair of work boots.

“Small towns are very quick to provide assistance to those in need, sometimes without even questioning a lot.

They trust,” said Cpl. Barry Larocque.

“Sometimes that trust can be exploited.”

The couple appeared in a story in the local newspaper, the Claresholm Local Press. They told the paper they saw their home catch fire and had planned on settling Lethbridge, but stopped in Claresholm and liked the reception they got.

Rondeau said he wasn’t looking for a handout, the story stated.

He was arrested on May 15 and appeared in court last Monday. His next court appearance is June 1.

Police say no one else has been charged in the case, and that their investigation is continuing.

Carlson said he told police he wasn’t interested in pressing charges.

He’s not sore about the steaks, either.

He said the ministry group in town knows that if a family is passing through and is stuck and hungry, the restaurants will help.

“Better to be a good person and help somebody out, and in the end, what’s $20 of food at our cost to make sure that somebody’s not hungry, right?”

MEDICINE HAT — There are small teams of Alberta firefighters travelling to Fort McMurray who aren’t on the front lines of the wildfire that’s been threatening the city, but are instead helping by listening to those who are.

Patrick Jerome, a Medicine Hat firefighter, is a member of his department’s Critical Incident Stress Management Team that recently travelled to Fort McMurray to assist crews deal with the mental effects of fighting such a large fire, which forced the evacuation of the city.

Post-traumatic stress disorder is a known side-effect of emergency service work such as firefighting, and it’s something that teams like the one Jerome is on work to prevent.

“The fires that those guys fought is a lifetime of fires for a firefighter. It’s just so much firefighting that they’ve done in so little time,” said Jerome, speaking from Medicine Hat. “It’s just so much. I can’t believe what those guys went through.”

The four-member Medicine Hat team, which includes their chaplain, aren’t mental health professionals but are trained in managing stress and draw from their own experiences.

While they were in Fort McMurray, they bunked on cots in the local college and met with firefighters, many of whom spent long hours defending Fort McMurray’s neighbourhoods earlier this month.

Jerome said all fires are hard work, but the firefighters battling the Fort McMurray blaze faced unique stress.

The fire was so large and they went days without sleep. In some cases, the had to worry about their own homes and families.

Firefighters run off adrenaline in those situations, Jerome explained, and when it’s over, they can plunge into lows.

Negativity sometimes sets in.

“I know for myself and other guys, we always look at bettering ourselves, so when we do fight a fire we always go back and critique the fire. You say, ‘Geez, I wish I would have done this

“THE FIRES THAT THOSE GUYS FOUGHT IS A LIFETIME OF FIRES FOR A FIREFIGHTER. IT’S JUST SO MUCH FIREFIGHTING THAT THEY’VE DONE IN SO LITTLE TIME.” —PATRICK JEROME because I maybe could have saved that,”’ Jerome said.

“Regret sets in and stuff like that.

So it’s important for the guys to know and emphasize that they saved 90 per cent of the city.”

Jerome said firefighters don’t always like to talk about their feelings, so the discussions are called “peer-topeer” rather than stress management.

Other departments also have teams.

The Medicine Hat group replaced one from Lethbridge, Jerome said, and there was another one from Edmonton there at the same time.

It’s all voluntary. Nobody is made to go. The firefighters don’t even have to talk if they don’t want to. Jerome said it’s like visiting your neighbour and having a coffee and chatting.

“We know how hard it is to do what they have done. A house fire — a normal one that doesn’t spread, just one house — is hours of work. It’s hard work. I can’t imagine having to do the whole block, the whole neighbourhood,” he said.

“A firefighter will understand the amount of work that those guys put in.

So them telling us, another firefighter, it’s so much easier to talk to because we get it.”

Jerome said he told the firefighters in Fort McMurray how amazed he was that they managed to save one of their fire halls, where the grass next to it was black and the forest across the highway was burned.

“It’s good for them to see what they’ve done good, you know, in such destruction around them.”

Investigators search wreckage of EgyptAir plane, test DNA CAIRO — A French ship joined the international effort to hunt for the black boxes and other wreckage of EgyptAir Flight 804 Monday, searching for clues to what brought the plane down, as Greek and Egyptian authorities diverged on what happened to the plane during the crucial final minutes before it crashed into the Mediterranean, killing all 66 people on board.

Five days after the air disaster, questions remain over what happened to the doomed jet before it disappeared off radar at around 2.45 a.m. local time Thursday.

Egyptian authorities said they believe terrorism is a more likely explanation than equipment failure, and some aviation experts have said the erratic flight reported by the Greek defence minister suggests a bomb blast or a struggle in the cockpit. But so far no hard evidence has emerged.

A 2013 report by the Egyptian ministry of civil aviation records that the same Airbus 320 made an emergency landing in Cairo that year, shortly after taking off on its way to Istanbul, when one of the engines “overheated.” Aviation experts have said that overheating is uncommon yet is highly unlikely to cause a crash.

The head of Egypt’s state-run provider of air navigation services, Ehab Azmy told The Associated Press that the plane did not swerve or lose altitude before it disappeared off radar, challenging an earlier account by Greece’s defence minister.

Azmy, head of the National Air Navigation Services Company, said that in the minutes before the plane disappeared it was flying at its normal altitude of 37,000 feet, according to the radar reading. “That fact degrades what the Greeks are saying about the aircraft suddenly losing altitude before it vanished from radar,” he added.

“There was no turning to the right or left, and it was fine when it entered Egypt’s FIR (flight information region), which took nearly a minute or two before it disappeared,” Azmy said.

safety signs at the East Coast landmark in March. The measures come from recommendations made by a team of community members and local organizations after one man died and another was rescued in the chilly waters off the rocks last year.

Canada BRIEFS Woman drowns near Peggy’s Cove, NS

According to Greece’s defence minister Panos Kammenos the plane swerved wildly and dropped to 10,000 feet before it fell off radar.

Greek civil aviation authorities said all appeared fine with the flight until air traffic controllers were to hand it over to their Egyptian counterparts.

The pilot did not respond to their calls, and then the plane vanished from radars.

It was not immediately possible to explain the discrepancy between the Greek and Egyptian accounts of the air disaster.

Human remains of the victims arrived at a morgue in the Egyptian capital, Cairo, where forensic experts were to carry out DNA tests, according to the head of EgyptAir, Safwat Masalam.

A security official at Cairo morgue said family members had arrived at the building to give DNA samples to match with the remains, which included those of a child. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to brief the press.

Egypt, which is sending a submarine to search for the flight recorders, has also refuted earlier reports alleging that search crews had found the plane’s black boxes — which could offer vital clues to what happened in the final minutes of the flight.

Ships and planes from Britain, Cyprus, France, Greece and the United States are taking part in the search for the debris from the aircraft, including the black boxes. Some wreckage, including human remains, has already been recovered.

The French vessel that joined the effort Monday is equipped with sonar that can pick up the underwater “pings” emitted by the recorders. It is specialized in maritime surveillance, and rescue and marine police missions. The 80-meter (262-foot) ship left its Mediterranean home port of Toulon Friday with a crew of 90, including two judicial investigators. The search area is roughly halfway between Egypt’s coastal city of Alexandria and the Greek island of Crete, where the water is 8,000 to 10,000 feet (2,440 to 3,050 metres) deep.

PEGGY’S COVE, N.S. — Police in Nova Scotia have confirmed a woman has drowned near Peggys Cove.

Emergency workers responded to reports that a woman was struggling in the water Sunday afternoon.

Halifax Fire and Emergency says local fishermen brought her to shore where rescuers attempted CPR. RCMP say the woman was pronounced dead at the scene.

The owner of Peggys Cove Boat Tours says a purse containing Quebec identification was recovered where the woman was reportedly standing.

He made his remarks in a written statement Monday after a group pushing for the bid released a letter signed by the prime minister.

In Justin Trudeau’s letter, he writes that if city council approves a bid, the federal government will “explore next steps.” The city’s executive committee will meet Tuesday to discuss the proposition.

More employees working from home THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — Like many Canadians, Carla Holub has gladly given up commuting for the ease and comfort of working from home.

The 41-year-old WestJet sales agent says she has no regrets since she made the change three years ago. Telecommuting affords her the time to take her children to dance lessons and hockey while reducing her lunch, coffee, gas and car insurance costs, she says.

“It’s been a great switch,” she said from Calgary. “It just freed up a good two hours of my personal time being able to work from my home office.”

WestJet Airlines plans to establish a bilingual call centre in Moncton, N.B., but most of the 400 agents will work from home. They will join about 85 per cent of the airline’s 900 call centre workers in Calgary who since 2013 have shifted to fielding customer calls remotely.

The move has saved WestJet the cost of expanding its office to accommodate its growing staff, though that is partially offset by expenses to buy extra computers for employees so that they can work from home.

Spokesman Robert Palmer said the transition was mainly designed to respond to workers who desire a better work-life balance.

“From an employer’s perspective, generally speaking it makes for a happier employee and a happier employee is generally more productive,” he said.

The shift to telecommuting has accelerated since the 1990s growth of technology, said Sheryl Boswell, direc-

tor of marketing for job website Monster Canada.

She said most companies that allow employees to work from home are looking to build their businesses without added office expenses. They are also seeking access to a broader talent pool, she said.

“I think more employers are doing it because this is what seekers today demand,” said Boswell, who herself telecommutes two days a week.

More than 1.7 million paid employees — those not self-employed — worked from home in 2008 at least once a week, up almost 23 per cent from the 1.4 million in 2000, according to the latest Statistics Canada report on the subject in 2010.

Despite the increase, the proportion of paid employees working from home grew by just one percentage point to 11.2 per cent during the period. A faster pace of growth among self-employed pushed the total proportion of people working from home up two percentage points to 19 per cent in 2008.

Louise Howard is typical of those many self-employed home workers.

The mother of children aged six and eight spends a few hours a day sewing clothing and accessories for children from her dining room that she sells online and to neighbourhood stores.

“It’s more a hobby that’s become a business by accident,” said the Montrealer, who says she makes about minimum wage for an average of three hours per day.

Monster Canada says nearly 5,000 home-based employment positions are currently listed on its website, up 18 per cent from last year.

Available positions vary from cus-

The growth of social media has also pushed companies to hire writers to create content.

Telecommuting can also appeal to older workers, allowing businesses to adapt to changing demographics.

“It’s a weapon in a company’s arse-

nal to attract great employees,” said Robert Campbell, president of trade association ContactNB. About 30 per cent of New Brunswick’s more than 100 call centres allow some form of telecommuting, Campbell said, adding that the workers have a range of jobs that include medical telecare, grief counselling, funeral planning and financial advice.

BRIEF Trudeau arrives in Tokyo ahead of G7 summit TOKYO — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will sit down with his Japanese counterpart Tuesday to discuss the countries’ business ties as well as security co-operation before the Group of Seven summit later this week.

Trudeau’s agenda for his meeting with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe includes issues like investment, education and trade, such as the huge 12-country treaty known as the Trans-Pacific Partnership.

With hope of attracting business investment to Canada, Trudeau will also meet auto-sector executives, including the presidents of three automakers: Honda, Toyota and Subaru.

Trudeau and his wife, Sophie Gregoire Trudeau, will visit the Meiji Shrine and meet the emperor and empress of Japan before the prime minister sits down with Abe. For his part, Abe is expected to raise a pressing subject for the Japanese: regional security. Japan is deeply concerned about North Korea’s recent nuclear tests and missile launches as well as an ongoing territorial dispute with China in the East China Sea and South China Sea. Following their meeting in February, Foreign Affairs Minister Stephane Dion and his Japanese counterpart Fumio Kishida issued a statement reconfirming their commitment to maintaining a rulesbased order in international maritime law.

Without naming China, they also said they opposed the use of intimidation, force or unilateral actions that seek to change the status quo in the Asia-Pacific.

When it comes to China, Keio University law professor Masayuki Tadokoro said Japan will listen carefully to Trudeau’s words on the matter.

The concern is Canada may not want to take very strong position due its economic interests in China.

Despite a chilly start to market season in Red Deer over the weekend, the Red Deer Market did get off to a busy start. With temperatures hovering around the 5C mark Saturday morning hundreds of people flocked to the new venue located in the Memorial Centre parking lot. Here Ryan and Paula Mannear of Wetaskiwin work at their Get Stuffed Churros stand as an unending line forms behind them. Forced to move from the Red Deer Arena parking lot where it has been for decades because of the Arena’s imminent destruction, the market set up shop in the new location. Red Deer Market director Dennis Moffat said the day got off to a rather chaotic start as vendors lined up along 42nd Avenue and backup up the hill on 55th Street. “It’s been a glorious start considering the weather, we’ve had a great crowd” said Moffat. “It was a bit of a problem getting everyone (vendors) in” he said.

DRIPs an attractive dividend option TALBOT BOGGS MONEYWISE (Special) – Dividend Reinvestment Programs (DRIPSs) are a great option for investors who are looking for returns and protection in today’s environment of low interest rates and volatile markets but who do not need the income that dividends generate.

DRIPs are plans offered by corporations that allow investors to invest their cash dividends by purchasing additional shares or fractions of shares on the date the dividend is paid.

DRIPs offer investors a number of benefits.

One of them is the ability to reinvest dividends regularly, a practice that is especially appealing in volatile markets.

Any purchases made through company-operated DRIPs usually are com-

mission free because no broker is required to facilitate the trade. Some company DRIPs also offer their stock at a discount, often in the range of three to four per cent.

DRIPs are flexible by nature. Investors can invest either small or large amounts. In volatile times like these, people can be reluctant to make big investments and may be more comfortable with making smaller, more regular investments over time.

DRIPs take advantage of an investment principle known as dollar cost averaging.

This involves averaging out the price at which stock is purchased as its price moves up or down over the long period.

Using this system, you are never buying the stock right at its peak or at its low. It is a great, disciplined way to save and invest over the long-term.

Companies like to offer DRIPs because they encourage a stable shareholder base that typically has a longterm investment style. DRIP investors are less likely to sell their shares when

markets go down because they end up purchasing them at lower prices.

Investors also can purchase dividend growth mutual funds. Some of these funds give investors the option to take the distribution payouts or reinvest them.

The Canadian equity market is heavily weighted to banks, financial institutions and companies in the energy and materials sectors, but is not considered to have the diversity of choice to let investors build a truly diversified portfolio.

As a result, many Canadian investors also are purchasing global dividend funds to improve the diversity of their portfolios and minimize risk.

While DRIPs might be a great way to invest, there are some tax issues to be considered.

Eligible dividends from Canadian resident corporations are taxed more favourably than most other types of income except for capital gains. In a few provinces and territories such as Alberta and the Yukon for 2015 eligible dividends actually are taxed at a lower

rate than capital gains.

However, it’s important to note that the cash dividends that are reinvested remain taxable as dividends received.

So investors should provide enough cash to offset that tax liability.

Every investor’s situation is unique, so you should probably consider consulting with a financial adviser to determine which dividend-paying investments can help you meet your longterm financial goals.

“If you need the cash from dividends for income, then DRIPs probably don’t make a lot of sense,” says Lutz Zeitler, senior portfolio manager with BMO Global Asset Management Canada. “But if you don’t need that income they make a great deal of sense, particularly if you’re purchasing shares at a discounted price.”

Conservative senator looks for Liberal help in passing ‘prompt payment’ law “THIS VERY UNBALANCED SYSTEM HAS BECOME A NORM. IT’S NOT. AT SOME POINT, AND I THINK WE’RE THERE, THE ISSUE BECOMES SO (CRUCIAL), IT BECOMES SO DIFFICULT, GOOD COMPANIES FOR ALL OF THE WRONG REASONS CAN NO LONGER STAY IN BUSINESS AND THAT’S A REALLY SAD COMMENTARY.

The euro sculpture in front of the headquarters of the European Central Bank, ECB, in Frankfurt, Germany. The eurozone economy has finally recouped all the ground lost in the recessions of the past eight years after official figures Friday April 29, 2016. showed that the 19-country single currency bloc expanded by a quarterly rate of 0.6 percent in the first three months of the year.

Eurozone survey points to faltering economic growth in May na. Factors that helped the eurozone during the first quarter included further stimulus measures from the European Central Bank, a lower euro that helped boost exports, and falling prices that increased consumers’ spending power.

The slowdown that appears to be taking place has been predicted by many economists not least because many of the factors that previously buoyed growth have largely played out, such as the fall in the value of the euro.

The region also faces a number of headwinds in the months ahead, many beyond its borders, such as the British vote on June 23 on whether to leave the European Union and ongoing uncertainty over China.

Looking ahead, Williamson said the survey points to a further loss of momentum. Inflows of new work, he noted, showed the smallest rise for nearly a year-and-a-half, while optimism about the outlook in the services sector sank to its lowest since July 2015.

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OTTAWA — A Conservative senator is looking for the Liberal government to enact “prompt payment” legislation on federal projects, making sure cash paid to large construction firms flows without delay to the trade contractors doing the work.

The idea contained in Sen. Don Plett’s private bill in the Senate would allow trade contractors who don’t get paid right away to walk off the job without fear that someone else will come in and finish the work.

The bill would also require the government to promptly pay the large firms overseeing work on federal projects or on Crown land once they submit receipts for work, or set strict payment deadlines if none are spelled out in a project agreement.

Plett’s decision to move now on the proposal, one he has been looking at for years, coincides with the Liberal government’s moving ahead with $3.4 billion over the next five years for work on federally-owned parks, harbours, laboratories, museums, and buildings.

Plett said the bill, if passed, would make sure that money flows quickly to the smaller companies and trades people doing the work.

“General contractors are using trade contractors money to subsidize their work. It’s the most prevalent with the real large contractors we have in Canada,” said Plett, a former plumber.

“All this bill does is it forces contractors to pay the money they have received — nothing else, just the money they have received — down the food chain.”

For trade contractors who have been lobbying on Parliament Hill for support in the Senate and in the House of Commons, the bill would level the playing field between large contractors and trades companies that sometimes feel they have no recourse if they’re not paid on time.

For now, large companies could

—JOHN BLAIR, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR THE CANADA MASONRY CENTRE. withhold pay for any number of reasons, including if they need the money to finance another project or development, said John Blair, executive director the Canada Masonry Centre.

He said that leaves trades business owners unable to invest to grow their business, and could penalize employees with delays in pension contributions, for example.

“This very unbalanced system has become a norm,” Blair said.

“It’s not. At some point, and I think we’re there, the issue becomes so (crucial), it becomes so difficult, good companies for all of the wrong reasons can no longer stay in business and that’s a really sad commentary.”

Those delays, trades contractors argue, also add costs to contracts because contingencies or hold-backs of five per cent or more have to be added to tender prices.

Plett said the bill, if passed, would eliminate the need for the contingencies, usually set aside in case payments are not made on time, and reduce costs to the federal treasury.

LONDON — Economic growth across the 19-country eurozone is showing further signs of faltering following a strong start to the year.

A closely monitored survey of business activity shows that output growth in May slowed to its weakest rate since early 2015.

Financial information company Markit said Monday that its flash composite purchasing managers’ index — a broad gauge of business activity across the services and manufacturing sectors — fell to a 16-month low of 52.9 points in May from April’s 53.0. Anything above 50 indicates expansion.

The reading, which is based on approximately 85-90 per cent of the final number of replies to the survey, is the latest in a series of indicators pointing to waning eurozone growth following a perky start to the year. Though Germany and France, the eurozone’s top two economies, performed robustly, there was a cooling elsewhere.

Chris Williamson, Markit’s chief economist,

said the survey adds “fur

ther to the suggestion that

the robust pace of economic growth seen in the first quarter will prove temporary.”

Markit’s survey points to second-quarter quar ǡ ǡ terly growth of 0.3 per Ǥ cent, which would be lower than the 0.5 per cent recorded in the first three months of the year.

The first-quarter performance came in the face of huge volatility in global financial markets largely connected to uncertainty 403.346.5448 • 125 Leva Ave., Gasoline Alley • 403.341.4477 over the slowdown in Chi-

SPROULE Kenneth (Ken) On May 18, 2016, Ken Sproule, of Red Deer, Alberta passed quietly and peacefully at the age of 83 with his loving wife, Maria, by his side. Ken will be deeply missed by his family: wife of 58 years, Maria; son Greg Sproule; daughters, Lorinda Belzberg and Pam Jacoby; sons-in-law, Allan Belzberg and Michael Jacoby; daughter-in-law Gwen Sproule; grandchildren, Micah, Adam, Matthew, Lauren, Josh, Ben and Fraser; sister Norma Kee; sisters-in-law, Grace Pedersen, Agnes Pedersen, Vip Helstrom, Jo McLeod, Edith Pedersen, and brothers-in-law, Chris Pedersen, Keith Ziegler, Gerry Kee. Ken is survived by his aunts, Ruth Ramsey, Luella Ramsey and Nora Albers.

Also left to mourn is a large extended family and many treasured friends. Ken was born in Camrose, Alberta in 1932, raised in Red Deer, graduated from Red Deer Composite High School and graduated from the University of Alberta with his Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy in 1957.

He was dedicated to his love of family, friends, local business and service to his beloved community. Ken was president/owner of Sproule’s Mountview IDA Drugs for over 40 years, active in business and community service leadership throughout the years including: Director of the Red Deer Chamber of Commerce, President of the Red Deer Rotary Club and Kinsmen/K-40 Clubs, Associate Director of the Calgary Stampeders Football Club and Director of the Westerner Exposition. He was the 1990 recipient of the Bowl of Hygea Award, a national award for Outstanding Community Service in Pharmacy. He was inducted into the Lindsay Thurber Comprehensive High School Hall of Fame in 2010. Ken served on the Board of Directors for several organizations including Northwest Drug Company for 23 years, the Red Deer Regional Hospital for 7 years, and the Westerner Exposition for 6 years. Ken was a committed and long-standing member of the Red Deer Economic Development Board, the Red Deer Rotary Club, the Red Deer Shrine Club, Gaetz Memorial United Church and, for over 50 years, his beloved Red Deer Golf & Country Club. The Sproule/Belzberg/Jacoby family would like to extend their gratitude to the nursing staff at Michener Extendicare who cared for Ken over the past 2 years and to Dr. Ray Hulyk for his compassion and care over many years.

Special thanks and gratitude to Reverend Jeff Rock.

Report dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bad behavior KATHY MITHCELL AND MARCY SUGAR ANNIEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: We live in a friendly town. Yet, we have some residents who are terribly disrespectful people of other peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s property.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had dogs and love dogs, but we would never think of taking our dog to our neighborâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lawn to do its duty. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve consulted several experts and they all say that the dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s urine can cause brown spots on the lawn. We even paid to have new sod put in. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve asked people not to do this, but the minute our back is turned, they ignore us. We arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allowed to put up â&#x20AC;&#x153;No Dogs Allowedâ&#x20AC;? signs, so that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help.

But we have a number of dog parks these folks can use instead of our lawn.

Apologies to those dog owners who do the right thing, but how do we get inconsiderate dog owners to behave? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Totally Confused Dear Confused: Dogs â&#x20AC;&#x153;markâ&#x20AC;? their territory and if they have used your lawn in the past, they are likely to make a beeline for it again.

Are there laws in your â&#x20AC;&#x153;friendlyâ&#x20AC;? town that pro-

JOANNE MADELINE MOORE HOROSCOPES Tuesday, May 24 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DATE: Priscilla Presley, 71; Tommy Chong, 78; Rosanne Cash, 61 THOUGHT OF THE DAY: Make sure you stimulate your mind in novel new ways today.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY: You have many creative talents but are you using them? Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be afraid of making mistakes, as they can lead you into exciting new territory.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re attached, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to work hard to keep the relationship in tip-top condition. Single Rams you could find lasting love via an online dating site or through social media connections.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Beware the urge to splurge!

Venus is now moving through your money zone â&#x20AC;&#x201D; until June 17 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which can mean a welcome boost to cash flow. But it also increases your shopaholic tendencies.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): With Venus now visiting your sign â&#x20AC;&#x201D; until June 17 itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to flirt up a storm and call in a few old favours. When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on firing on all cylinders, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard for others to resist your Gemini charisma!

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll enjoy spending quality time on your own today, as you indulge in some delicious daydreams and tap into your intuition. Some single Crabs will become involved in a secret love affair.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Are you capitalizing on your creativity? The stars encourage you to join a group that will help develop your particular creative talent â&#x20AC;&#x201D; whether its art, writing, dance, photography or music.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): With Venus in your career

Nellie McClung top choice for Canadian woman on face of banknote: poll TORONTO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Famous Five activist Nellie McClung is the No. 1 choice to become the first Canadian woman on the face of one of the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s banknotes, according to a recent survey.

The survey found 27 per cent of respondents favoured McClung, a suffragette who fought for women to be legally recognized as persons in Canada.

Politician Therese Casgrain, aeronautical engineer Elsie MacGill, Anne of Green Gables author Lucy Maud Montgomery, artist Emily Carr and black activist and businesswoman Viola Desmond rounded out the top six choices.

All 12 options in the survey came from the long list of candidates created by the Bank of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advisory council.

The remaining six nominees all received less than 10 per cent of votes in the poll. The Angus Reid Institute conducted the survey of 1,517 Canadian adults who are members of its online forum between May 10 and May 13.

The polling industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s professional body, the Marketing Research and Intelligence Association, says online surveys cannot be assigned a margin of error because they do not randomly sample the population.

hibit dogs from using private lawns? If so, report each incident to the police. Another option is to go outside whenever you see someone coming with their dog and not leave until the owners pass by completely.

However, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always be there each time, so here are some other suggestions: Spray a diluted mixture of cayenne pepper (or ammonia, vinegar or citrus) and water on your lawn, or look for a commercially available dog-repellant spray.

Get a motion-activated sprinkler. Build a fence.

We hope one of these works.

Dear Annie: My child died recently. My friends tell me they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what to say.

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know which is worse, someone who says something inappropriate or someone who says nothing. I know how they feel.

I used to be someone who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what to say to a person whose loved one had died. I shudder to think of how often I might have said something inadvertently hurtful or remained silent because â&#x20AC;&#x153;they might be having a good day and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to ruin it for them.â&#x20AC;?

I have news for people â&#x20AC;&#x201D; you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ruin our day.

Mine was ruined the day my child died.

When you say nothing, it makes us feel that our loved oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life was insignificant. But this person was important to us. This person mattered.

Here is my advice for what you can say: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sorry about your loss.â&#x20AC;? Include the personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name or their relationship if you can.

Whatever your version of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sorry,â&#x20AC;? be it in the form of a hug or in words, is perfect. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s it.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enough.

It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter how the person died. However, if you have an anecdotal story about this person, please share it.

We love to hear stories about our loved one. Send a text. If there is an online tribute to this person, sign it. Also, cards are wonderful.

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what is the statute of limitations on expressing condolences, but we are still receiving cards months after the event, and they are still comforting. The family holds these things close.

We are struggling to put our lives back together without this person in it. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Sad Dear Sad: If you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t already done so, please contact The Compassionate Friends (compassionatefriends.org). Our deepest condolences on your heartbreaking loss.

Annieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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: Annieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mailbox, c/o Creators Syndicate, 737 3rd Street, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Education, research, travel, publishing and group projects are all favoured but remember that Mars and Saturn are still retrograde, so youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to be super patient and persistent.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Peacemaker Venus encourages you to repair a rickety relationship plus take creative ideas and put them into practice. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t waste the opportunity to make some positive changes.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the mood for fashion, flirting, romantic candlelit dinners and creative partnerships. But â&#x20AC;&#x201D; if you avoid facing your relationship responsibilities â&#x20AC;&#x201D; then problems are likely.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll gain great satisfaction from being focused, as you follow a disciplined daily routine. If you can combine meticulous planning with productive work, then it will lead to lasting results.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): With Venus visiting your entertainment zone, between now and June 17 is the perfect time to attend book readings, music concerts, theatrical events or art exhibitions â&#x20AC;&#x201D; plus party like a pro!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Venus gives a family relationship a welcome boost, as you discover youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got more in common than you previously thought. Single Fish â&#x20AC;&#x201D; you

could find love via an introduction from a relative.
