Delburne, John Howard Society benefit from United Way grants

BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF

An initiative to continue to bring residents of Delburne together and a coalition working with wayward youth in Red Deer recently received Collective Impact Legacy grants from the

United Way of Central Alberta.

The grants, funded by annual revenues generated by memorial gifts or bequests, are to support innovative and collaborative ways of addressing complex social issues.

“It has to be something you’re doing as a group. We want to try to encourage that because at the United Way, we feel that’s one of the ways to get

to the root causes of issues, is the use of a collective impact model which brings everyone together to try and solve a particularly complicated social issue rather than doing it in a silo, so to speak,” said United Way CEO Robert Mitchel on Tuesday.

A much-loved main attraction on Lakeshore Drive for 34 years is closing for good.

Wild Rapids Waterslide Park in Sylvan Lake will open for its final season today.

Charlie Everest, general manager, said the water park has been the cornerstone of the community for three-and-a-half decades.

But he said everything boils down to economics.

“The pre-season and upkeep is rising every year,” said Everest. “You can see in the future those costs are going to keep rising. The only way to absorb those costs are through the ticket price, which would keep on rising. You can look into a crystal ball and it is no longer viable to keep the water park running.”

The park is operated by Bear Development Corp. It will shut down on Sept. 5.

Everest wanted to dispel the rumor that the park is closing because of safety concerns. He said the water park passed all its inspections and safety is always a priority.

The Town of Sylvan Lake stepped in to buy the 3.5-acre parcel of land for $4.9 million and will apply for a transfer of an additional 1.5 acres from the province.

Canada, Mexico clear air over Canadian beef, visas

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Canada and Mexico moved Tuesday to rid themselves of long-standing trade and travel irritants, touting their relationship as a model against the growing strains of protectionism and isolation in the U.S. and Britain.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Canada would lift its controversial visa requirement for Mexican visitors before the end of the year, while Mexico said it would end long-standing restrictions on Canadian beef imports.

Although both changes are still months away, Trudeau and Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto expressed satisfaction that the two main irritants in their bilateral relationship

would be removed, paving the way for deeper co-operation.

Pena Nieto was on Day 2 of a threeday visit to Canada, which culminates in the North American Leaders’ Summit, taking place Wednesday at Ottawa’s National Gallery of Canada with Trudeau and U.S. President Barack Obama.

The protectionist rhetoric coming from the presumptive Democratic and Republican presidential candidates, along with Britain’s blockbuster decision leave the European Union, will add a counterpoint for the three leaders as they present the continent as a region of economic and political co-operation.

COUNTY OF STETTLER

Public works complex voted down

BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF County of Stettler residents have rejected a plan to borrow $5.2 million for a new public works complex.

A referendum saw 1,047 go to the polls with 54 per cent voting against council’s borrowing plan. The referendum was called after more than 700 local ratepayers signed a petition in opposition. Enough valid signatures were counted to reach the 510-name threshold requiring council action.

It was the second time, residents signed a petition calling on council to ditch its plan to borrow millions — that time $7 million — for the proposed $9.8-million public works complex.

Council opted to reduce the amount it would borrow towards the project but to go ahead with a new building.

Now that a new public works complex is off the table, the county must look at other ways to address shortcomings in its 47-year-old facility, which is overcrowded and needs significant upgrades to meet the latest health and safety and building codes.

“Council will now need to decide how to proceed, because doing nothing was never one of our options,” said county Reeve Wayne Nixon.

“Our existing shop has several deficiencies that will probably total up to $2.2 to 2.3 million. Somehow, we’ve got to look after that.”

Council will review its options at its next regularly scheduled meeting on July 13.

For council, the decision will involve how to upgrade the shop without investing too much in an aging facility, said the reeve.

“The majority of the councillors feel that putting money into the old shop is not money well spent on behalf of ratepayers. It leaves us in kind of a dilemma, for sure.”

Nixon said only about 50 or so people turned out for each of two information sessions on the project hosted by the county ahead of the vote.

He suspects some of the local furor over the project can be attributed to general “unrest” among the public and a frustration with all levels of government. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

Lacombe approves urban hen bylaw Urban hens can nest in Lacombe.

City council gave final approval on Monday to the bylaw regulating urban hens, which have been touted as a way to promote local food production and farming practices.

“Council is committed to promoting a healthy, connected and active community, and this pilot project gives residents access to fresh, locally grown food year-round,” says Mayor Steve Christie in a Tuesday statement.

A goal of Lacombe’s Municipal Sustainability Plan is to promote healthy local food that is affordable and accessible. Like local vegetable gardens, urban hens fit the bill.

The city is carefully regulating the number of households and hens. No more than 10 homes will be approved for hens, which are limited to four per home. The small flocks must be registered with the province and meet all regulations.

Hens must be located in well-maintained chicken coops and will only be allowed at single detached and semi-detached houses. Neighbours sharing a property line must be consulted before a hen application is made.

Lacombe recreation centre named after Gary Moe

BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF A prominent Red Deer car dealer success story will put his name on Lacombe’s renovated recreation centre.

In a Tuesday ceremony, the Lacombe Sports and Leisure Complex was renamed the Gary Moe Auto Group Sportsplex.

Since opening a General Motors Franchise called Passport International Automobiles in Red Deer in 1988, Moe has steadily expanded his presence in Central Alberta. Gary Moe Auto Group now includes Hyundai, Mazda and Volkswagen dealerships in Red Deer, and in December 2015 Lacombe’s Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram dealership was added.

When Moe was approached by the city with a sponsorship proposal, he saw an opportunity that worked for all.

“It’s a real great community and (the sponsorship) was a thing to do for the community, plus it gets our name out there big time,” he said.

“We’re really excited about the partnership with the City of Lacombe.

They’ve just been excellent on this,”

he said. “We were pretty honoured they gave us the opportunity, given that we were brand new in town.”

Moe declined to disclose the value of the 15-year sponsorship deal other than that it is a “significant amount.”

The company name and logo will appear on the front of the building and two interior lobbies and Gary Moe will be the exclusive automotive dealer advertiser.

Mayor Steve Christie thanked Gary Moe Auto Group for their support. This is the first time Lacombe has pursued a naming-rights initiative to help offset costs.

The twin-arena sports complex is undergoing a major $13.6-million project to update, renovate and expand the complex with new arena dressing rooms. Work will wrap up in summer 2017.

The city was required to undertake major improvements to the facility to meet the latest building codes. At the same time, the main lobby will be renovated, barrier-free washrooms added and the swimming pool’s mechanical room increased in size to allow for future growth. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

Shooting suspect granted bail

BY BRENDA KOSSOWAN ADVOCATE STAFF Bail has been granted for an autistic man arrested in mid-March in connection with a shooting at the Red Deer City RCMP detachment.

Investigators at the time reported that it appeared someone had used a BB gun to shoot at the windows.

Suspect Cory Daniel Picard, 21, was arrested later that day on charges including possessing a firearm for a dangerous pur- CORY PICARD pose, using an imitation firearm to commit a criminal offence, mischief causing less than $5,000 in damage and uttering threats. Picard has made numerous

court appearances since his arrest, but had not yet made a bail application or entered a plea on the charges.

During a bail hearing in Red Deer provincial court on Tuesday, Calgary-based defence counsel Benedict Leung and Crown prosecutor Brittany Ashmore were able to strike a release agreement that would allow Picard to live under the care of a responsible adult while he awaits process on the charges.

The agreement includes a surety of $5,000, meaning that there will be no cash required up front, but whoever signs the surety could be made to pay up if Picard breaches the terms of his release agreement.

He is also required to reside at the address of the person named in the recognizance and follow other rules set out by the court.

Leung said he would like his client to have some time to adjust to his new surroundings before meeting with him to discuss his options.

They are scheduled to return to court on Aug. 2 to announce their intentions.

Sylvan Lake RCMP probe another attempted child abduction

BY BRENDA KOSSOWAN ADVOCATE STAFF Police in Sylvan Lake are investigating a second child abduction attempt in less than a week, but have not connected them at this point.

Late in the afternoon on Tuesday, RCMP released a statement regarding an attempt made the day before to abduct a 13-year-old girl.

Police allege the girl was walking near the library with friends at about 11 p.m. Her group had separated and, shortly afterward, she hid in a bush after seeing a car being operated in a suspicious manner.

Police allege that the driver got out of the car, grabbed her and pulled her hair. She escaped during the ensuing struggle and was able to run away. Another man remained in the passenger seat of the car during the incident.

The alleged assailant is described as a Caucasian man with pale skin in his late 20s, of average height at about 1.8 metres tall (five-foot-10 to fivefoot-11), with dark brown hair down to his eyebrows. He had a bump on his nose, as if it had been broken. He was

wearing khaki pants and a black, zippered hoodie. The girl noticed that he spoke in a low voice and appeared to be right handed. She did not get a good look at the second man, but heard him say, “Let’s find another one.”

Their car is described as a newer, white four-door with black tires on black rims and a spoiler over the trunk and a loud muffler.

The description of the driver and car do not fully match that of a man being sought in connection with allegations that someone had tried to grab a 12-year-old boy at about 4 p.m. on June 22 near the Mother Theresa School.

The alleged assailant in that incident was described as a Caucasian male between 25 and 30 years old, bald and of medium build and wearing a black hoodie pulled over his head. He was driving an older Honda car with four doors. One of the car’s tires had a black rim.

Police are asking anyone with information that may lead to the arrest of these suspects to call the Sylvan Lake RCMP detachment, 403-858-7200. Tips can also be submitted online to www. tipsubmit.com or by calling Crime Stoppers, 1-800-222-8477.

Harper earned my enduring respect WARREN KINSELLA OPINION

A

nd so it ends, not with a bang, but a whimper.

Late last week, in a secluded part of Centre Block, staff were seen packing up Stephen Harper’s Parliamentary office. Anyone wandering by could see the moving boxes and the packing tape, in plain view. Harper, the 22nd prime minister of Canada, had cast his last vote in the Commons.

He was heading home to Calgary.

Harper hadn’t said a word in the Commons since being defeated by Justin Trudeau in the fall. But he had shown up to vote, plenty of times — more than the NDP’s Tom Mulcair, reportedly. Even after that night when Trudeau had strong-armed the Conservative whip — even when the Liberal Prime Minister had elbowed a female NDP MP in the chest, no less — Harper had kept silent. You can’t picture Brian Mulroney ever exercising that kind of restraint.

Harper will soon head off to do

what former prime ministers and presidents do — write memoirs, sit on some boards, give some speeches, play golf together. Sleep in.

Unlike some folks, and certainly unlike many Liberals, I did not detest Stephen Harper. There are 10 reasons for this, all of them much more personal than political.

1) When my dad was dying, Harper phoned me and my mom to talk about fathers. He did this despite the fact that yours truly had ripped him, on TV and radio and in newspapers, for years. He was kind to my grieving mom, and I never forgot that.

2) I publicly predicted — as did many others — that, with a parliamentary majority, Harper would make abortion and gay marriage illegal, he would constitutionalize property rights, and so on. He did none of those things.

3) I, and others, thought he was an admirer of Republican-style manifest destiny — and that he would therefore lead us into illegal wars to curry favour with the likes of George W. Bush.

He didn’t do that, either.

4) Unlike some former and present Liberals, he was immensely respectful towards my political father, Jean Chrétien, even when Chrétien ran him down in the papers. He told me ad-

mired Chrétien’s commitment to Canada, his discipline, and his fiscal probity. And it showed.

5) One time, I can now reveal, Harper called me up to talk about ways to prevent some grossly homophobic Jamaican rappers from getting into Canada. His officials had told him there was nothing he could do, and he was unhappy with that. He said I knew something about both popular music and bigotry, and wanted to talk to work on ways to keep these gay-bashers out.

6) Similarly, when I was Chrétien’s special assistant in Opposition — and when the neo-Nazi Heritage Front was infiltrating Reform Party riding associations in Toronto — Harper actually told Tom Flanagan to send me their relevant membership lists, so I could tell them who was a suspected Nazi.

With Chrétien’s approval, I did that.

They kicked out the ones I spotted. It impressed both Chrétien and me.

7) As a charter member of the Alberta diaspora, that unkillable Central Canadian insinuation that all Albertans were followers of Jim Keegstra and the Ku Klux Klan always pissed me off. It clearly bothered Harper, too. But, unlike me, he did something about it: He dragged Alberta into the centrist Canadian political main-

stream – paving the way, paradoxically, for the likes of Rachel Notley and Justin Trudeau to later win lots of seats there.

8) Even though I was a dirty rotten Liberal, he twice hired me to be a ministerial special representative on aboriginal issues, which are pretty important to me. (He did likewise with Chrétien’s nephew Raymond, too.) Under his watch, spending on aboriginal programs grew, significantly.

9) As a war room guy, I always admire a worthy adversary. I and my fellow Grits grossly underestimated Harper for a decade. We paid the price: In 2006 and 2008 and 2011, he kicked our butts.

10) Finally, I thought he might wreck the place but he didn’t. This is still the best country in the world, and I think — if those of us who opposed him are honest with ourselves — he clearly thought so, too.

The world did not end with Stephen Harper. Nor was he, as Eliot wrote in J. Alfred Prufrock, “full of high sentence, but a bit obtuse,” ever.

Stephen Harper wasn’t obtuse. He was many things, but never that.

Don’t be surprised by the post-Brexit chaos CHANTAL HÉBERT OPINION

I

f you are taken aback by the post-Brexit political chaos consider the following: Everything that has happened since the United Kingdom vote — and probably more — would have ensued in Canada in the wake of a Quebec vote for sovereignty in the 1995 referendum.

Indeed, since Thursday’s vote, I’ve had the impression that U.K. reality had caught up with the semifiction of The Morning After, the book about what the day after a Quebec Yes vote could have been like that I co-authored with the late Jean Lapierre.

If we learned anything over the course of the interviews we conducted with the political principals on both sides of the last Quebec referendum campaign, it was that events — postYes — would have quickly spiralled out of anyone’s control.

1. On the morning after his failure to convince a majority to stick with the European Union, U.K. Prime Minister RED DEER

David Cameron resigned. Had he lost the 1995 referendum, it is not clear that Jean Chrétien would have left voluntarily. Two decades later, he still will not say. But others, inside and out of his government, would have wanted him to go.

Had Chrétien not quit, he might have faced a caucus rebellion of the kind that is currently engulfing Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour Party.

2. In the U.K., millions have signed a petition calling for another vote to appeal the Brexit verdict. In similar circumstances, there would also have been a fair amount of buyers’ remorse in Quebec. The sovereigntist leadership was determined to ignore it. In the months prior to the referendum, Quebec premier Jacques Parizeau had told the EU envoys to Canada that after a Yes vote Quebecers would be like lobsters in a trap — they would have no way to go but forward.

3. The Brexit result has increased the odds of a second independence referendum in pro-EU Scotland and rekindled talk of the breakup of the U.K. In this country, at least one premier, Roy Romanow of Saskatchewan, had tasked his officials with pre-emptively exploring the notion of the Prairies going it alone.

determined to keep their territory in Canada. Some groups wanted Montreal to be carved out of a sovereign Quebec.

4. There is no consensus as to the pace of the U.K.’s exit from the European Union or the nature of the links it should or could maintain with its former partners. In Canada in 1995 some would have wanted to usher Quebec out of the federation promptly and limit future interactions between the two to a minimum.

Reform Party leader Preston Manning would have pushed hard for a snap federal election.

He wanted a mandate to negotiate a divorce, not a custody agreement.

On the other hand, some wanted to resist the Yes result, either by calling a federal referendum to test Quebecers’ resolve to leave or by opening up constitutional negotiations to convince the province to stay put.

There were equally deep differences among the three leaders of the Yes camp. Parizeau was set on secession regardless of the extent of the post-secession arrangements with Canada.

ADQ leader Mario Dumont believed a narrow Yes vote would lead to reformed federalism. Lucien Bouchard’s bottom line was a different Quebec-Canada partnership.

players in the 1995 saga (with the notable exception of the late Jacques Parizeau) were convinced Canada dodged a big bullet on the night the Yes side lost by little more than a percentage point.

To a man and a woman, those associated with the federalist camp noted the absence at the time of specific rules of engagements.

To varying degrees, they felt the post-referendum federal Clarity Act, which calls for a clear question and for a mutually agreed-upon threshold as preconditions for Canada to act on a referendum result, addressed a major vulnerability.

If all else failed, they believed the new federal law would mitigate the uncertainty attendant to Quebec voting to sever its ties with the federation.

But in the Brexit referendum, the question was direct and all sides signed off on the simple majority rule.

What we are witnessing in the U.K. is as orderly an adjustment to a game-changing referendum result as Canada and Quebec could ever hope for.

Make of that what you wish!

Fort McMurray fire chief calls for changes to building rules

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS FORT MCMURRAY — The man who led the fight against the wildfire that devastated parts of Fort McMurray in May is urging changes to the way homes are rebuilt to avoid similar destruction in the future.

Fort McMurray fire chief Darby Allen says houses in the northern Alberta city should be built much further away from the dense boreal forest that surrounds them and be made out of materials that prevent fire from spreading as easily — from the kind of shingles used to a home’s siding.

“Maybe they’re not allowed to have a wooden fence anymore, maybe it’s a wire fence. Maybe the front row that backs onto that wildland, they must have a stucco interior or a metal exterior — not siding, not cedar shingles.

“The roofing material could be slate, could be tile, could be non-combustible shingles — certainly not cedar shakes,” Allen said at Fire Hall No. 1 in downtown Fort McMurray.

“With council’s backing and approval, we may be able to do something like that.”

Normally, Allen said it can be virtually impossible to change municipal building rules and there would be a lot of resistance to these types of pro-

Local BRIEFS RCMP release photo of shooting suspect Police have released surveillance photos of a suspect involved in Sunday’s shooting at Hybrid Lounge.

Red Deer City RCMP allege a man fired two shots into the ceiling during a robbery before escaping with the till around 9:10 p.m.

The suspect was carrying a long-barrel firearm with a wooden stock.

SUSPECT Police did not state whether it was a rifle or a shotgun.

Police say the suspect had been dropped off at the bar (formerly the Post Time Lounge) by someone driving a white Dodge pickup truck reported stolen on June 20. He was then seen getting back into the truck, which had been waiting for him in the Checkmate Court parking lot next door to the bar.

No injuries were reported to police.

The suspect is described as a Caucasian man and in his early 20s, skinny and of average height at about 1.78 to 1.8 metres (five-foot-10 to fivefoot-11) tall. He was wearing a grey hat with a flat brim, a black jacket or hoodie and a white and green shirt underneath, dark jeans and white high top shoes with Velcro straps.

RCMP ask that anyone who has information that could lead to the suspect’s arrest contact the Red Deer City detachment at 403-343-5575. To remain anonymous, report online to www.tipsubmit.com or call Crime Stoppers, 1-800-222-8477.

Man in custody after Jeep rolls A 28-year-old Red Deer man is in police custody after the Jeep he was driving rolled over in a singlevehicle collision in the Fairview neighbourhood on Tuesday.

RCMP responded to a report that a Jeep had rolled several times on Kerry Wood Drive near Fountain Drive

posals.

But life has been far from normal in Fort McMurray since a fast-moving and unpredictable wildfire wiped out thousands of homes and forced a monthlong, city-wide evacuation.

Pretty much anything that can burn around Fort McMurray already has, but Allen said he wants to make sure the city is resilient decades from now.

“It’s going to cost a lot of money to put in and you’ve got to chop down a lot of trees,” he said. “You’re offending a lot of people. You’re affecting a lot of people and the chances of getting something like that through is pretty well zero.

“But when we’ve seen the type of thing we’ve seen here, I think there’s more of a realistic chance of getting that type of thing through.”

Wood Buffalo Mayor Melissa Blake said change may come about through residents’ personal choices, rather than through any new city bylaw or building code.

“I’ve got a cedar roof on my house and it’s the first thing I want to change,” she said in an interview.

“If you lived through something like this, you want to make sure you’re more resistant to it in future. If people know there’s a better way of doing it, they may opt just to do it.” after it was seen speeding through the neighbourhood at 12:20 p.m.

Several residents gave chase and detained the driver until police arrived after he tried to flee the scene on foot. RCMP found a sawed-off shotgun in the and took the driver into custody for breach of court-imposed firearms conditions and refusal to provide a breath sample.

The man was not injured in the collision. Until charges are sworn, the man’s name will not be released.

RCMP continue to investigate.

Preliminary hearing scheduled in drug case Evidence will go under scrutiny next month for an Olds man accused of trafficking cocaine and of possessing a wide variety of other drugs for trafficking.

Chris Long, 49, was arrested and charged on Jan. 31 during a drug raid orchestrated by the Olds RCMP, the area’s Alberta Law Enforcement Response Team (ALERT) and Safer Communities and Neighbourhoods (SCAN).

Police allege seizing a variety of drugs during the raid, including cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin, marijuana, psilocybin mushrooms and a variety of narcotic pills.

Long was charged with one count of trafficking cocaine, five counts of possessing controlled drugs for trafficking and four counts of simple possession of controlled drugs.

He has asked that the charges be heard in the Court of Queen’s Bench with a preliminary hearing beforehand. Preliminary hearings are optional and may be held in provincial court to test the Crown’s case before proceeding to the higher court.

Long’s preliminary hearing has been set for Didsbury provincial court on July 25.

Charges withdrawn against men charged after break-in Charges have been withdrawn against both men charged with a residential break-in in Red Deer last September.

Red Deer City RCMP alleged two men were caught on a security camera when they attempted to use a credit card stolen during a break-in at a Morrisroe residence on Sept. 17.

Gregory Loe Doyle, 33, and Damien Ray Vasseur, 23, were both charged with residential break and enter and fraud at a value less than $5,000.

Charges against Doyle were withdrawn on Nov. 2 while Vasseur was scheduled to stand trial in Red Deer last week. The trial was collapsed when charges against Vasseur were also withdrawn.

Fort McMurray students catch a break UNIVERSITIES RELAX ADMISSION RULES

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Post-secondary institutions across Alberta are doing their utmost to make life easier for high school graduates impacted by the wildfires in Fort McMurray.

Universities say they’ve relaxed admissions criteria and extended deadlines for those students hoping to start post-secondary school in September.

The wildfires that prompted a mass evacuation of the town and caused millions of dollars in damage put a stop to high school classes across the city and initially left students in doubt as to how they could complete required exams and finish final courses.

Students say they’re grateful that those hurdles have been addressed, but still lament the fact they’ll be missing out on typical high school graduation rituals.

Proms have been cancelled and parties rescheduled, and official graduation ceremonies have been rebooked for the end of August when

some students will have already left town.

Kaylin Lynett has experienced both the benefits and drawbacks of the circumstances imposed by the Fort McMurray fires.

Relief at having her early acceptance to the University of Alberta confirmed without the need to write normally mandatory diploma exams has been tempered by social media posts of other friends trying on prom gowns and celebrating the start of a new chapter alongside their high school friends.

“I never realized how much I wanted a grad until I didn’t get a grad,” the 17-year-old said in a telephone interview. “Just the fancy dresses and them with all their friends making funny poses and things like that.”

Missing out on grad traditions seemed like the least of Lynett’s problems when she and her family were forced to flee the flames engulfing the city in early May. Her acceptance to the bilingual business program at University of Al-

berta had come through, but Lynett said she was nervous that it could be revoked if she failed to complete a diploma exam required of all Alberta high school students and finish her high school course work.

Accordingly, she registered at a high school in Red Deer, at least an hour away from where her family members were staying.

Her luck changed less than a week after the fire broke out, however, when Alberta Education announced that students from Fort McMurray high schools were exempt from taking the tests.

The next day, the six post-secondary institutions in the Edmonton area announced their intention to smooth the path for students impacted by the fire.

Concordia University of Edmonton, King’s University, MacEwan University, the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology, Norquest College and the University of Alberta all acknowledged the difficulty the fire could present for prospective students and said they were committed to offering

what support they could.

University of Alberta registrar Lisa Collins said the 250 applicants from the area became a high priority and their cases were handled individually rather than according to standard protocols.

“The principle that we work from is that we do everything that we can to reduce anxiety and to ensure that students aren’t penalized for circumstances that are beyond their control,” she said.

Final marks were accepted based on course work completed to date and were not based at on diploma exams, which usually account for 30 per cent of a final grade, she said.

The university also agreed to be flexible about deadlines by which schools or students could submit final transcripts, Collins said, recognizing that documents would be hard to come by while buildings were closed in the wake of the fire.

Dutch court approves extradition of man in Todd case

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS AMSTERDAM — The mother of British Columbia teenager Amanda Todd says she feels numb but happy that a Dutch court has approved the extradition of a man implicated in her daughter’s suicide following relentless cyberbullying.

Carol Todd said learning that Aydin Coban will be sent to face charges in Canada transported her back to October 2012, when her 15-year-old daughter took her own life after Coban allegedly posted nude photos of her online.

“It’s brought me back emotionally, to … when Amanda passed away.

It’s really emotional,” Todd’s mother said Tuesday.

“I’m numb, but I’m excited that we’ve been able to get this news today,” she said. “I’m really glad that we’ve reached this step.”

The Dutch justice minister must now sign off on the court’s approval, though Coban’s won’t be extradited until after a separate criminal trial in the Netherlands on 72 charges of sexual assault and extortion.

If he is convicted in the Netherlands, Coban could be extradited to Canada for prosecution while still serving his initial sentence, the Dutch prosecution service has said. Any sentence arising from the Canadian proceedings would likely be served in the Netherlands.

The Dutch case involves 39 other alleged victims, many underage and from various countries, including one person from Canada. The case has been repeatedly delayed, and the trial is expected to resume early next year.

In Canada, Coban faces five charges connected to 15-year-old Todd from Port Coquitlam, B.C., including extortion, possession of child pornography and attempting to lure a child online.

Alberta BRIEFS Memorial to honour RCMP officer killed in line of duty ST. ALBERT — An RCMP officer who was shot and killed outside an Edmonton-area casino is being honoured with a memorial in a quiet corner of a park.

Const. David Wynn was 42 when he died four days after being shot during a struggle with a suspected car thief in St. Albert in January 2015.

He was hit in the head and never regained consciousness before he died.

St. Albert Mayor Nolan Crouse says the memorial near Lacombe Park Lake will give people a quiet spot to remember Wynn and his service to the community.

The memorial itself — plaques fastened to a large rock near a river — is expected to be completed by October and will tell the story of Wynn and the qualities he embodied.

An endowment fund is also being set up for annual awards to students hoping to become police officers or paramedics.

“This memorial site will be a way for all of us to reflect on happy memories of Dave,” Shelly Wynn, the Mountie’s widow, said Tuesday.

Firefighters examine debris after a house explosion in Mississauga, Ont., Tuesday. One person is dead and nine others suffered minor injuries in the explosion that levelled one home and damaged at least two dozen others.

A Peel paramedic spokesman said Tuesday night that a woman died at the scene and another official said nine people were treated for minor injuries, but none had to be taken to hospital. One house was destroyed by the blast and neighbouring homes showed heavy damage, with debris spread over a wide area. Police officers set up a large perimeter around the destroyed home and went door-to-door evacuating nearby residences.

Calgary toddler OK after falling into septic tank

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — A Calgary family says they are still upset after their youngest child fell into a septic tank at a highway rest stop in Saskatchewan.

Trevor Pickersgill, Denaie McCarthy and their three girls were driving to Regina from Calgary last Thursday when they decided to pull into the information centre near Maple Creek, Sask., for a rest.

The girls were playing on top of a septic tank lid, pretending it was a stage.

“All three of them were there and laughing. My older two girls they “And with the endowment fund we will be able to keep his spirit and dedication to the community, especially for the children of St. Albert, alive for many years to come.”

Man wanted by RCMP arrested in northwest Ontario: OPP DRYDEN, Ont. — Ontario Provincial Police say a 32-year-old man wanted by the RCMP in Alberta has been arrested.

They say they were told by the RCMP that the man and a female companion were possibly in the Dryden, Ont., area.

OPP say the man and woman were located on Highway 17 in Southworth Township, Ont., on Monday, and arrested the man on a charge of failing to comply with a recognizance.

Police say Jason Masse was wanted by RCMP in Provost, Alta., on charges including assault with a weapon, pointing a firearm, forcible confinement, uttering threats, and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose.

Const. Petrina Taylor-Hertz says Masse will be returned to Alberta on the outstanding warrants after appearing in court on local charges.

Pickersgill heard screaming and rushed over. He saw his youngest, 21-month-old Nataya, had fallen almost three metres to the bottom of the tank.

“I jumped in about waist high in sewage water and then she was going through another tunnel and I just got to reach her foot, her leg in time, a couple of seconds later she probably would have been gone for good,” Pick-

ersgill said.

Workers from the information centre called 911 and helped to pull father and daughter out with a rope. They were taken to hospital and were treated for cuts and bruises.

“They checked her out, she had an abrasion in the back and the people that helped us, one of them was a first responder too so a couple of the people helped us out, like extremely well and I’m grateful they were there for us,” said Pickersgill.

Doctors in Calgary say Nataya’s parents must keep a close on her for signs of a concussion or bacterial infection from the sewage.

injured were the targets of a random attack.

Police got a call late Sunday night about a suspicious person seen in the area.

A short time later, there were reports of two people being stabbed inside a home.

Paramedics took a woman in her 30s and a man in his 60s to hospital in critical condition.

Police tracked the suspect to a nearby park and say they found he had injured himself.

He was taken to Foothills Hospital where he later died.

The Alberta Securities Commission said Meyers only recently returned to Canada from the United States, where she had spent time in jail for unrelated securities fraud.

The commission said penny stock fraud is a serious and growing problem in North America that’s undermines the integrity of capital markets.

Stock promoter jailed for pump-and-dump scheme CALGARY — An Alberta court has sentenced Caroline Meyers to two years in prison for her role in a 2010 stock promotion fraud that saw investors lose millions.

Meyers becomes the second person to be sentenced in Alberta in the so-called pump-and-dump scheme and the first to receive jail time. Her co-accused, Joseph Bucci, was given an 18-month conditional sentence last year.

The two were convicted of helping push a shell company called Coastal Pacific Mining Corp. into a roughly $30 million stock in 2010 before it crashed and became almost worthless.

Meyers, who has also gone by the last names Winsor, Danforth, and Winsor-Meyers, pled guilty late last year to acting as a dealer of securities without registration, not filing a prospectus and engaging conduct that resulted in a false appearance of trading activity

Teen charged with attempted murder in severe beating EDMONTON — Friends and family are rallying around a teenager attacked and left for dead south of Edmonton.

Police say Braydon Heather, who is 14 and from Edmonton, was found in Beaumont at about 1:30 a.m. on June 21 with “obvious head injuries.”

A male youth is charged with attempted murder and aggravated assault and is to appear in court in Leduc on July 8.

Melanie Aube, a longtime friend of the family, says the teen is in hospital in an induced coma.

She says Braydon is a high energy 14-year-old who is involved in sports and likes hanging out with his friends.

Aube has set up a GoFundMe page to help the family cover financial costs, saying the boy’s mother will have to quit her job or take leave to care for Braydon.

“This wasn’t just school bullies fighting or just a quarrel between two teenagers,” Aube said of the attack.

“This was intentional, and it was brutal and I cannot imagine what triggered someone (to do this).”

Suicide bombers kill dozens

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ISTANBUL — A suicide attack at Istanbul’s busy Ataturk Airport Tuesday killed dozens and wounded more than 140 as Turkish officials blamed the carnage at the international terminal on three suspected Islamic State group militants.

Hundreds of frightened passengers streamed out of the airport, fleeing the latest of several bombings to strike Turkey in recent months. The attacks have increased in scale and frequency, scaring off tourists and hurting the Turkish economy, which relies heavily on tourism.

Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said 36 were dead as well as the three suicide bombers. Justice Minister Bekir Bozdag said 147 were wounded.

Another senior government official told The Associated Press the death toll could climb much higher.

The senior official, who spoke on condition of anonymity in line with government protocol, at first said close to 50 people had already died, but later said that the figure was expected to rise to close to 50.

Yildirim said three suicide bombers were responsible for the attack and all initial indications suggest the Islamic State group was behind it.

“The findings of our security forces point at the Daesh organization as the perpetrators of this terror attack,” Yildirim told reporters at the airport, using

Provinces studying terms of reference for inquiry on missing, murdered women

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was the one who promised a national inquiry into missing and murdered indigenous women, but the provinces still need to sign off on the details.

The recommendations that came out of the Liberal government’s consultations earlier this year were clear: the upcoming national inquiry should have the authority to make recommendations within provincial and territorial jurisdictions as part of a larger attempt to tackle what the inquiry will determine are the root causes of the issue.

That authority does not come automatically, however, which is why officials at Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada are having some back-and-forth discussions with the provinces and territories over the terms of reference, which sources said the federal government proposed in early June.

The feds gave provincial governments only a

few weeks to discuss and approve their own orders-in-council — potentially turning over the provincial books on everything from policing to child welfare services — in time to launch the second phase of the inquiry by the end of this month as originally planned.

Some provincial and territorial governments had questions and concerns about their roles and responsibilities in the national inquiry, including who was going to cover the cost of travel and other support for families and whether legal representation would be required.

Alberta Justice Minister Kathleen Ganley said the proposed terms of reference “were fairly vague”, leaving the province with unanswered questions about an inquiry her government is otherwise eager to support.

“We think it’s really important, but we do think it’s important to know precisely what it is we are going to be doing,” Ganley said.

Deaths of four aboriginal youths undetermined: inquest

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

THUNDER BAY

The deaths of four young aboriginals who moved from their remote northern Ontario reserves to attend high school in Thunder Bay, Ont., occurred in an undetermined manner, an inquest jury decided Tuesday.

Three other deaths examined at the months-long inquest were deemed accidental.

Jethro Anderson, 15, Curran Strang, 18, Robyn

Harper, 19, Paul Panacheese, 21, Reggie Bushie, 15, Kyle Morrisseau, 17 and Jordan Wabasse, also 15, all died between November 2000 and May 2011.

“All seven were beloved children who died tragically and prematurely and lost the opportunity to lead their own lives, raise their own families and make their own valuable contribution,” said presiding coroner, Dr. David Eden.

in a taxi and blew themselves up after opening fire.

Asked whether a fourth attacker might have escaped, he said authorities have no such assessment but are considering every possibility.

The victims included some foreigners, he said, adding that many of the wounded have minor injuries but others are more badly hurt.

Another Turkish official said two of the attackers detonated explosives at the entrance of the international arrivals terminal after police fired at them, while the third blew himself up in the parking lot.

The official, who also spoke on condition of anonymity in line with government regulations and cited interior ministry information, said none of the attackers managed to get past security checks at the terminal’s entrance.

Turkish airports have security checks at both the entrance of terminal buildings and then later before entry to departure gates.

Roads around the airport were sealed off for regular traffic after the attack and several ambulances could be seen driving back and forth. Passengers were left sitting on the grass outside the airport.

Hevin Zini, 12, had just arrived from Duesseldorf, Germany, with her family and was in tears from the shock.

“There was blood on the ground,” she told The Associated Press. “Everything was blown up to bits… if we had arrived two minutes earlier, it could have been us.”

Canada BRIEFS Fraser report says Quebec lost 600,000 residents to other provinces since 1971 MONTREAL — The number of Quebecers who left for other provinces between 1971 and 2015 was almost 600,000 higher than the number of Canadians who came to Quebec during that period, says the Fraser Institute.

That constitutes the highest out-migration total in the country, according to research from the right-ofcentre think-tank.

Moreover, Quebec is the only province in Canada to have suffered a net loss in interprovincial migration every year during that time, the organization said in a report released Tuesday.

Yanick Labrie, a senior fellow who co-authored the report, says Quebec’s economic strategy has not been a success.

“The so-called Quebec model might be a failure based on the statistics we’ve gathered,” said Labrie, a public policy consultant in Montreal.

Regardless of the trend, Quebec’s population grew to 8.3 million from 6.1 million over the 34 years.

The biggest one-year net loss was for the 12 months between July 1, 1977, and June 30, 1978 — in the aftermath of the Parti Quebecois election victory in November 1976 — when 46,429 more people emigrated than migrated to the province. “(Canadians) just don’t want to come to Quebec and the province’s model is not being replicated in other jurisdictions,” Labrie said. “It’s definitely not a success story.”

ATTRACTION: Town will buy the land Sylvan Lake Mayor Sean McIntyre said public access to the water is a priority for residents and added public space along the lake is needed.

“Our plan is to return it to the people,” said McIntyre. “This opportunity, with this size of parcel of land in such a sensitive area, comes once in a lifetime. We know Lakeshore Drive means so much to our residents. It is important for us to secure the land and plan for that use of the land together. That way we ensure it serves our community’s best interest. We really see it as an exciting opportunity.”

McIntyre said the town will conduct planning exercises or public consultation with the community to develop a space for the community. He said he is happy to see the land developed in a way that reflects the public interest.

“There are so many opportunities,” he said. “So many people have great memories of the waterslide.

It has reached its lifespan now. It’s time for new life on that parcel of land and we’re going to plan for it together.”

The property includes a private parking lot, an outdoor waterslide, and a number of buildings. The property also homes a number of businesses that lease space. Public consultation is expected to start sometime this year. crhyno@reddeeradvocate.com

UNITED WAY: Second year grants available

SUMMIT: Beef ban ends in October

The Village of Delburne was awarded $5,000 to support its Belonging Delburne initiative, which aims to strengthen its community by connecting residents through positive storytelling, sometimes called Generative Journalism. Local media, schools, city administration and community organizations are collaborating on the initiative.

John Howard Society, on behalf of the Red Deer High Risk Youth Coalition, received $10,000 to support efforts to engage youth in shaping how services might be delivered. High-risk youth include those experiencing or at risk of addictions, victimization, gang and criminal involvement, incarceration or hospitalization, street involvement, homelessness, being a school dropout or those with chronic truancy.

Coalition members include community corrections; health and addictions services; public, Catholic and outreach schools; provincial child and family services; and not-for-profit service providers, including emergency shelters.

It’s the second year Collective Impact Legacy grants have been available.

Last year the Sylvan Lake and area Compassion Fund, which provides emergency assistance to people in crisis, and Central Alberta Poverty Reduction Alliance were grant recipients. szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com

Trudeau called the Mexican-Canadian partnership an example to the world.

“That’s a compelling example that we want to showcase at a time where, unfortunately, people are prone to turning inwards, which will, unfortunately, be at the cost of economic growth and their own success in many situations.”

The visa requirement will be lifted by Dec. 1, while the beef ban ends in October, he said.

Ending Mexican restrictions on Canadian beef, a lingering side effect of long-standing fears over madcow disease, “will support Canadian farmers and Canadian families,” he added.

The previous Conservative government imposed visas in 2009 to stop thousands of asylum claims being made by ineligible Mexican citizens — a controversial move that has stood as the major irritant between the two countries ever since.

“Since 2009, this barrier has been set, but today thanks to a great political will, we are overcoming such a barrier,” Pena Nieto said in Spanish.

Conservative immigration critic Michelle Rempel said in a statement that Trudeau was making “a political decision that puts the security of Canadians at risk” by lifting the visa.

“The decision to lift the visa appears to be a completely political quid pro quo, rather than a decision based on evidence and Canada’s national interest.”

The Tories have said the asylum rate for Mexican nationals fell below one per cent over the last four years, down from 25 per cent just before the visa requirement was put in place in 2008.

The two countries also agreed to work together to advance the interests of indigenous people in both countries, in particular to help women gain access to education and foster innovation and entrepreneurship, Trudeau said.

Along with a variety of courtesy calls and photo-op events, the Mexican president also attended a youth event on Tuesday before a state dinner hosted

by Gov. Gen. David Johnston at Rideau Hall.

Earlier Tuesday, Natural Resources Minister Jim Carr told a forum on innovation that Wednesday’s summit takes place just as similar agendas — transitioning away from fossil fuels and racing towards energy innovation — are seizing governments around the world.

Carr called it “an absolutely important moment as the history of the world begins to adjust to these very important changes.”

“Remarkably, as we talk to each other and as we travel internationally, the agenda of the world is remarkably similar,” he said.

“And that is that we are all in a transition phase where we are reducing the reliance on fossil fuels and increasing our investments in renewable sources of energy, and in innovation.”

On Wednesday, Pena Nieto will sign Mexico on to the Canada-U.S. methane reduction deal announced when Trudeau paid a state visit to Washington in March. That accord pledges to cut methane emissions 40 to 45 per cent below 2012 levels by 2025.

Rising debt unsustainable: PBO COMBINED NET DEBT OF PROVINCES, MUNICIPALITIES PROJECTED TO RISE

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — The federal budget watchdog is sounding the alarm about the growing level of net debt being accumulated by Canada’s provinces, territories and local governments.

The parliamentary budget office said Tuesday that the combined net debt of Canada’s so-called subnational governments — currently at 32.5 per cent of GDP — is projected to rise to more than 200 per cent over the next 75 years.

At that level, debt service payments would reach 11 per cent of gross domestic product, the report warned.

The subnational outlook, which excludes the federal government, has worsened since last year due to increased spending projections for health care and public sector administration, the analysis said.

On the federal side, the office found the sustainability of Ottawa’s fiscal outlook had deteriorated compared to 12 months ago.

It does, however, expect the federal net debt to remain manageable and to be eliminated in 50 years.

Ottawa’s outlook, the report added, has declined due to weak economic growth and temporary spending measures, such as the Liberal government’s decision to move old age security eligibility back to 65 years old, from 67. The new government has also reduced federal fiscal room through changes to child benefits and its commitment to increase infrastructure spending, the document said. But overall, the analysis said the combined fiscal path of the country’s federal, provincial, territorial, local and aboriginal governments — as well as their public pension plans — was unsustainable.

“The total government sector in Canada … is not fiscally sustainable without permanent increases in revenues or reductions in program spending,” the document said.

The office said some combination of higher federal transfers, spending cuts and boosts to government revenue would be necessary to improve the subnational outlook.

During last year’s election campaign, the federal Liberals vowed to balance the books by 2019-20 and to lower the country’s net debt-to-GDP ratio in each year of their mandate to 27 per cent, from 31.2 per cent in 2015-16.

The ratio, also known as the debt burden, represents a government’s capacity to pay back debt.

The Liberals’ March budget, however, did not specify when Ottawa would eliminate the deficits and only projected the net debt-to-GDP ratio to start falling after the next election in 2020-21 — and only to 30.9 per cent.

With the federal net debt-to-GDP ratio on track to decrease over time, the office’s report Tuesday said Ottawa has some fiscal wiggle room to cut taxes or increase spending.

The Liberals’ spring budget projected Ottawa to add $113.2 billion in red ink over the next five years, due in large part to increased spending in numerous areas, such as post-secondary education, infrastructure, the recently unemployed, veterans and seniors.

Feds ask CMHC for ways to cool housing prices

Alberta develops insurance policy for riding-hailing companies

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — Alberta has rolled out the details on how it will regulate ride-hailing companies such as Uber Canada and TappCar to ensure they are safe for consumers.

The government has developed a type of insurance policy that companies can purchase to cover their drivers as part of the requirements they must meet to operate in the province.

The policy, to be available to insurance companies on Friday, is designed to cover drivers from the moment they log onto their company’s mobile app to pick up a customer.

“I think that this is providing a very good approach to ensure the safety of the public and to ensure a level playing field with other car-for-hire types of businesses,” Transportation Minister Brian Mason said Tuesday.

Two insurance companies are expected to offer similar policies for ride-hailing firms later this summer.

A government release said Alberta is the first Canadian province to develop a new insurance policy designed specifically for ride-hailing companies to protect people in the event of an accident.

The policy would provide up to $2 million in third-party liability insurance, with optional collision or comprehensive coverage.

Drivers must also undergo a detailed police check to ensure they are safe to drive vulnerable people such as seniors, people with disabilities or children, and must obtain a Class 1, 2 or 4 licence.

Alberta-based TappCar, which has about 300 drivers in Calgary and Edmonton, said it supports the government’s policy.

“We applaud the provincial government for putting the safety and security of Albertans first,” com-

pany spokesman Pascal Ryffel said in a statement.

“We are particularly pleased that vulnerable sector checks will be written into the legislation.”

Ryffel said TappCar already requires such background checks for drivers.

Uber, which suspended operations in Edmonton in March and in Calgary last November, said it wants to study the detailed regulations before commenting.

“We recognize the steps taken by the Alberta government and we will be reviewing the newly approved ride-sharing insurance policy and other announced rules,” Jean-Christophe de Le Rue said in a statement.

Mason said the government consulted with ridefor-hire companies, insurance companies and municipalities in developing its plan.

It will be up to the companies to ensure that drivers are up to standard. The firms will face audits to ensure they are complying with the rules.

Companies that fail to follow the rules can be fined up to $50,000 per offence per day.

Alberta’s NDP government passed Bill 16 in the spring as part of an overhaul of its Traffic Safety Act and finalized the details of the regulations this month.

When the legislation was introduced, Mason said people who want to use an app to hail a ride-forhire company need to know that the driver does not have a criminal record, is capable behind the wheel and is covered by insurance if there is an accident.

Mason said he isn’t sure if the details announced Tuesday will lead to more companies operating in Alberta.

“I think this is something that sets a clear floor for what we expect in terms of protecting the public and I will see what happens in the marketplace.”

OTTAWA — The federal government wants the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation to come up with ways to keep housing prices affordable in the country’s hottest markets — and do it by the end of the year.

The first hints of what those measures could be will be in the government’s hands by the end of the summer, with a working plan due by Sept. 1 as the government signals it wants to find ways to quickly cool housing prices.

The assignment to the CMHC was made official Monday in a letter sent to the Crown corporation’s president from the minister in charge of the government’s push to create a national housing strategy.

Social Development Minister Jean-Yves Duclos told the CMHC he wants the organization to investigate the “rapid and recurring” rise in property prices since 2010 in some of Canada’s largest cities.

While the review will mostly look at housing prices in Vancouver, Toronto, and Montreal, Duclos’ letter leaves the door open for other cities to be added to the study.

“The rise in property prices in these large urban centres is a concern shared by many of our fellow citizens, and particularly by the middle class,” Duclos wrote in the letter dated June 27.

“We also share this concern and wish to intervene quickly in order to fulfil the mandate given to us by the prime minister and to ensure that Canadians are able to access properties that meet their needs and respect their capacity to pay.”

The Bank of Canada has warned that housing prices in Vancouver and Toronto are rising at an unsustainable pace that is beyond local economic fundamentals.

The federal government only has so many tools at its fingertips to cool housing prices in hot markets, especially where there is concern that buyers are purchasing beyond their means or pricing too many people out of the market.

The Liberals this year increased the minimum down payment for homes over $500,000 as a direct response to concerns in Vancouver and Toronto over skyrocketing housing costs.

Earlier this month, Finance Minister Bill Morneau announced plans to create a working group that would advise him on ways to affect demand, affordability and stability in Canada’s housing market.

The working group, combined with Duclos’ assignment to CMHC, is part of the government’s push for a national housing strategy.

Duclos has said the strategy, when finalized some time next year, will look at everything from shelters, to transitional housing, to affordable housing, rental units and market housing and where governments can get involved to provide homes to those who need them.

Broad details of the strategy were made public

by Duclos during a meeting Tuesday of national and provincial housing providers and advocates in Victoria, B.C.

Aerospace industry earned highest profits since 2001

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — Canada’s aerospace manufacturers had their highest pre-tax profits since 2001 last year as the lower Canadian dollar helped the export-oriented sector overcome a “disappointing global economy,” according to the Conference Board of Canada.

The Ottawa-based economic think tank said in a report released Tuesday that Canada’s aerospace industry earned $1.56 billion in pre-tax profits in 2015 on $21.8 billion of revenues — up from $952 million on revenue of $19.9 billion in 2014.

Meanwhile, the Conference Board forecasts sector profits will surpass $2.13 billion in 2020 as the weak business jet market improves and Bombardier

Aerospace delivers CSeries aircraft and its new Global business jets, currently under development.

“There’s a bit of a ramp-up in production that we see going forward just based on some orders from some of the major players in the industry,” study author Carlos Murillo said in an interview.

The aerospace division of the Montreal-based plane and train maker (TSX:BBD.B) had a net loss of US$5.1 billion last year. But the company, which reports in U.S. dollars, said the division earned US$242 million in pre-tax operating income, excluding hefty special charges.

Besides Bombardier, Canada’s top aerospace companies include Boeing Canada, CAE, Magellan Aerospace, Thales Canada, Heroux-Devtek and Avcorp Industries. The Conference Board says industry profitability last year was bolstered by in-

creased prices and a reduction in labour costs following a 20 per cent reduction in the number of employees.

It expects the industry’s workforce will grow about four per cent a year to keep up with rising production. Going forward, aircraft deliveries are expected to be the main driver of revenue growth.

The Conference Board said improving global economic conditions and another year of record airline profits, in part due to low fuel costs, will propel new aircraft orders and support the industry’s financial situation.

“Over the medium term, improving financial conditions for the global airline industry and better macroeconomic conditions will support manufacturers of commercial and business aircraft,” the report said.

MARKETS CLOSE TORONTO — North American stock markets showed signs of revival in a post-Brexit world, clawing back some of the massive losses suffered in a retreat sparked by last week’s British vote to leave the European Union.

The Toronto Stock Exchange’s S&P/TSX composite index added 152.90 points to 13,842.69, recovering more than a third of its losses over the last two sessions.

New York markets were also strongly positive, helped by encouraging U.S. economic data. The Dow Jones industrials was up 269.48 points at 17,409.72 after the index lost 871 points or 4.8 per cent of its value in the previous two sessions.

Ikea Canada issues recall for wide range of chests of drawers

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS BURLINGTON, Ont. — Ikea has issued a Canadian recall notice for millions of chests of drawers that can tip over — a safety hazard that has been linked to the deaths of six children in the United States over several years as well as dozens of injuries.

The Swedish furniture multinational says it will repair or pay a refund for chests of drawers that don’t meet North American safety standards.

It also urges customers to stop using the affected chests of drawers and put them out of the reach of children until the furniture can be secured to a wall.

Customers who cannot secure the furniture to a wall are advised to bring the pieces back to any Ikea location for a refund.

Ikea Canada’s move is part of a recall of 29 million chests and dressers across the United States and Canada.

The company says there has been no serious incident reported in Canada.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said Tuesday that all six

of the children killed by tipped furniture were three years old or younger.

One of the children was killed about 27 years ago.

The other deaths were more recent, between 2002 and 2016. The CPSC said it has received 36 reports of children who were injured by the furniture.

Chests and dressers manufactured between January 2002 and June 2016 qualify for a full refund. Furniture made before 2002 may be eligible for a partial store credit.

Ikea says the recall affects about half the models of chests that it has sold over the years.

But it adds that all products currently in stores and for sale online do fully meet the current standard.

The Canadian recall includes several versions of Malm chests, one of nearly 20 furniture brands listed by the company. The company has listed the recalled furniture on its website.

Taypotat keeps rolling with strong showing DIANNE FINSTAD RODEO There’s nothing better in the sport of rodeo than getting on a roll, especially when it comes after time off due to injury.

Ty Taypotat knows that feeling. He is riding a momentum wave and it carried him right to the lead of the bareback event at the 80th Ponoka Stampede.

The Regina cowboy could scoop some big cash, after an 86 point ride on the Kesler horse Double Dippin, top spot so far.

“I’ve been 87 on that horse before, about three years ago at Cloverdale,” recalled Taypotat. “That’s just an awesome horse. I was super excited when I found out I drew him. I knew you could be a bunch on him.”

“I was ready for anything today, because I know he’s more of an exotic, wild horse. That’s what he was out there today, with a couple ducks and dives in there. I just kept on gassin’. It felt good.”

The 24-year-old was off to a good start this winter towards his goal of qualifying for the National Finals Rodeo, when he was hurt in Houston, TX. That put him out of action for two months.

“I pulled a muscle from my knee up to my pelvis,” he explained. “It ripped off my pelvis, and pulled off two pieces of bone. So I was sored up for a while. I didn’t walk for three weeks or so. Then after I could start walking, I was doing light exercise. Then I started working out real hard again. Everything’s been going good since then.”

“I still have two pieces of bone inside there floating around, but they’re not bugging me right now.”

Taypotat came back with a flourish, winning his first rodeo back, and making some big deposits in his rodeo account ever since. That included nearly $6000 from Reno, NV last week.

“I kind of picked up where I left off in Grande Prairie, and it’s been going good. I’ve been blessed right now with good draws, and I’m feeling good. I’ve probably won close to $20,000 in the last month.”

“This is the one, the daddy of ‘em all. The real daddy of them all is Ponoka because you can win the most money out of here of any rodeo.”

Meantime, Ponoka was the first bull ride back for Joe Frost after being sidelined with injury for three months. But it was a bit of a scary start for the Utah cowboy, when the bull stumbled and fell down, and Frost had to scramble off. He was given a reride and settled in with an 83.25 point performance on Kesler’s Liberty City, just a half point behind his traveling partner Trevor Kastner of Oklahoma, who was 83.5 on Anything Goes.

I guess it was a bit of a blessing in disguise.”

“It’s a lot better when you come back and ride that first one, no matter how many points you are.

Then you can build on that, and know that you remember what you’re doing.”

Frost had been on blood thinners for three months, after a blood clot was discovered in his thigh, after he was stepped on by a bull.

“I was still able to work on the ranch. The only thing I couldn’t do was ride bulls or get in a potentially dangerous position where I could get hit in the head. I’ve been working out every day, and still eating right. The only thing I’ve lacked is three months of riding, and that seems to be coming back just fine.”

At the time of his injury Frost was leading the world bull riding standings, but he’s only slipped back to fifth after his time away. It’s his first trip to the Ponoka Stampede, the only rodeo he’ll work on this side of the border. So he’s looking forward to returning for Sunday’s Finals.

“My goal was to win $200,000 by the end of the year, so now after taking off those three months, maybe I only win $160,000, but I still think I can win

TOP SEEDS OPEN WITH WINS AT WIMBLEDON

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON — Leave all the chatter about Serena Williams’ pursuit of her 22nd major singles trophy to others.

Williams and her coach, Patrick Mouratoglou, do not discuss that number.

“We don’t talk about it all. Zero,” Mouratoglou said Tuesday at Wimbledon after watching Williams win her first-round match.

Why is that?

“Because there is nothing to talk about. We have a Grand Slam (title) to win, and that’s what’s most important. We don’t talk about the reward,” he said. “We talk about the work we have to do.”

That is going to include some extra time spent fine-tuning the top-seeded Williams’ serve after she delivered five double-faults, including three in one game, and faced five break points during an uneven 6-2, 6-4 victory over Amra Sadikovic, a Swiss qualifier ranked 148th and making her Grand Slam debut.

“It’s very rare that everything works perfectly the first round.

It’s one of the things that were not good today, so we’re going to work on it,” Mouratoglou said. “But it’s not a big deal. I don’t think it’s a big deal.”

Didn’t take long for the first rain of this year’s tournament, which cut short action in the early evening and limited play to the main stadium, the only venue with a roof at the All England Club. In all, 14 matches were suspended in progress and 17 were postponed altogether.

Of the matches that did conclude, zero seeded players lost.

Winners included No. 2 Andy Murray, the 2013 champion, in the first all-British men’s match

the world.”

There was a new lead set in the saddle bronc riding at Ponoka, when Clay Elliott rode Kesler’s horse Centre Stage for 85.75 points. The Nanton cowboy was happy to see his name in first, after getting bucked off last year at the rodeo.

“I drew one of their really nice horses. That one has a great track record. Last year I had one that was a little bit hard, this year I had one that was really nice. That’s rodeo for you,” smiled the 22-year-old, who was riding in Airdrie Tuesday evening, Prescott, AZ on Wednesday and Cody, WY Thursday. But he’s happy to have his travel schedule swing back to Ponoka for Sunday.

“This rodeo game is pretty exciting.”

NFR regulars Erich Rogers and Cory Petska of Marana, AZ were the best in fast field of team roping on Tuesday at Ponoka. They put together a pair of runs in 12.1 seconds. Ponoka’s Brock Butterfield held on to his steer wrestling leading time of 15.7 seconds. In the tie-down roping, Ben Robinson of Innisfail wrapped up his two runs Tuesday in 18.8 seconds, to sit in third spot behind leader Timber Moore of Texas with his 18.4.

Eugenie Bouchard returns to Magdalena Rybarikova of Slovakia during their women’s singles match on day two of the Wimbledon Tennis Championships in London, Tuesday. Bouchard was leading when their match was suspended due to rain. The match will continue during Wednesday’s play. at Wimbledon since 2001 No. 4 Stan Wawrinka, who eliminated 18-year-old American Taylor Fritz and now faces 2009 U.S. Open champion Juan Martin del Potro, participating in his first Grand Slam tournament in 2 ½ years after three operations on his left wrist No. 7 Richard Gasquet, No. 12 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and No. 15 Nick Kyrgios.

Among the top women, No. 6 Roberta Vinci — who stunned Williams at the U.S. Open last year, ending the American’s bid for a calendar-year Grand Slam — beat Alison Riske of the U.S. 6-2, 5-7, 6-3 No. 13 Svetlana Kuznetsova defeated unseeded Caroline Wozniacki, a former No. 1 who hasn’t won a match at a major in

2016 and No. 27 CoCo Vandeweghe of the U.S. had little trouble getting past Kateryna Bondarenko 6-2, 7-6 (3) under the roof in the day’s last match.

Since earning her sixth Wimbledon championship and 21st Grand Slam title a year ago, Williams has gone 18-3 at majors, with the losses coming in the U.S. Open semifinals, and the Australian and French Open finals.

That led some to surmise that Williams has been beset by nerves as she seeks No. 22, which would equal Steffi Graf’s Open-era record (Margaret Court holds the all-time mark of 24).

Size and youth are two of the qualities that stand out in the Red Deer Rebels import draft selection.

The 16-year-old Alexander Alexeyev, a defenceman, was selected 49th overall on Tuesday in the Canadian Hockey League import draft. He stands six-foot-three and weighs 180 pounds.

Not eligible to be drafted into the National Hockey League until 2018, the St. Petersburg, Russia, native has represented his country at numerous different tournaments.

He was selected to Team Russia at the 2016 Ice Hockey U18 World Championships in April where he registered two assists in five games.

At the World U17 Hockey Challenge in 2015 he had four assists in six games for Team Russia.

Rebels GM/head coach Brent Sutter said Alexeyev is a really good skating, puck moving defenceman.

Alexeyev played the 2015-16 season with his hometown Serebryanye Lvy St. Petersburg in the Russian Junior Hockey League (Molodezhnaya Hokkeinaya Liga). In 20 games he had a goal and an assists.

He was selected in the first round, third overall, by the Metallurg Novokuznetsk in the Kontinental Hockey League draft this year. Players are eligible for the KHL draft in the year they turn 17, Alexeyev will turn 17 on Nov. 15.

Alexeyev joins Michael Spacek as the Rebels two import players, non-North Americans. Russian Ivan Nikolishin, who scored 31 goals and 51 assists in 72 games for the Rebels in the 2015-16 Western Hockey League season, is expected to seek professional hockey opportunities.

The Rebels did not use their second import draft pick.

Iceland headlines quarterfinals lineup first game of the group stage looked more of the same.

Since then, Eden Hazard and Kevin De Bruyne have starred in three straight wins — the combined score, 8-0.

However, how good were those opponents? Ireland, Sweden and Hungary all came through the Euro 2016 playoffs and would not have qualified under the old 16-team format.

Wales need not fear Belgium in Friday’s match after they advanced through the same qualifying group.

Wales drew 0-0 in Brussels, then won 1-0 at home with Bale scoring.

Belgium is unlikely to be short of fans. After all, the match takes place in Lille, near the Belgian border. And Hazard is a local hero, having started out his career in the city.

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PARIS — Somehow, a classic encounter between Germany and Italy is not the main attraction of the quarterfinal-stage at the European Championship.

Iceland’s next act in what is already one of the most surprising stories in European Championship history is the match that’s drawing most attention.

Can the team, which surprised so many by beating England 2-1 in the round of 16, do the same to host France when they meet at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis?

The island nation of just 330,000 people has undoubtedly taken the spotlight from all the others in the final eight, including Wales, which other times would be basking in its underdog status. And it’s overshadowed other themes, such as Cristiano Ronaldo’s quest for an elusive first title with Portugal.

Here’s a look at how the Euro 2016 drama is peaking after what most concede to have been a lacklustre group stage:

MANIC MONDAY

A truly memorable day in European Championship history whetted appetites for the quarterfinals.

Two-time defending champion Spain lost to an Italian team that’s defied its old reputation for dour, defensive play.

That was just a warm-up act.

Iceland’s 2-1 victory over England is one of the most surprising results in European Championship history. After all, as England great Gary Lineker quipped on Twitter, Iceland has more volcanoes than professional soccer players.

ICE, ICE, BABY

Next up for Iceland: France in its national stadium on Sunday. Now, home fans are starting to believe their team can replicate the Euro 1984 and 1998 World Cup teams by winning on home soil.

But, given what happened to En-

CRISTIANO’S QUEST

Iceland players celebrate with their supporters at the end of the Euro 2016 round of 16 soccer match between England and Iceland, at the Allianz Riviera Stadium in Nice, France, Monday. Iceland’s win has put them through to the quarterfinals to face host France. gland, and others, French fans will likely be a little wary now about the match that concludes the quarterfinals.

Iceland, in its first appearance at the European Championship, has other achievements to brag about. The team also drew 1-1 with Portugal, daring to celebrate to the seeming annoyance of Ronaldo.

Then came the late drama of Iceland’s last two group games against Hungary and Austria the global discovery of national TV’s hysterical match commentator culminating in the delicious upset of England.

Quietly, ominously, Germany cruised into the quarterfinals without conceding a goal.

Canucks fined $50,000 for Benning’s comments

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS The Vancouver Canucks will pay for general manager Jim Benning’s candid comments.

The club was fined US$50,000 by the NHL on Tuesday afternoon for tampering, a violation of by-law 15.

Benning mentioned the Canucks’ interest in Montreal Canadiens defenceman P.K. Subban and Tampa Bay Lightning captain Steven Stamkos while being interviewed Thursday by Vancouver radio station ahead of the NHL draft in Buffalo.

Teams are not permitted to speak under such terms about players under contract to other NHL teams.

“Last week I was trying to be candid with our fans and media about out efforts to improve our team but said too

much about players on other teams,” Benning said in a statement released by the Canucks. “I have spoken personally to the NHL and the general managers involved to apologize and I accept the league’s ruling.”

Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin told reporters afterward that Benning “crossed the line” in divulging trade conversations involving Subban. Bergevin was forced to speak out on the subject last Thursday, insisting that he was not shopping Subban but only listening to inquiries from opposing teams.

“I spoke with Jim and accept his representation that he intended no harm with his comments and that he will handle similar questions from the media differently in the future,” NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly said.

Saturday’s slow start slumped to a dire end on Sunday, the big boys roughed up the underdogs Monday peaked with two compelling dramas.

The final two weeks needs to be remembered for the quality of the games and the goals.

Jones unhappy with referee choice UFC 200

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — Jon Jones is unhappy with the Nevada Athletic Commission’s decision to assign referee John McCarthy to his light heavyweight title bout against Daniel Cormier next month at UFC 200.

“I would prefer any other referee but him,” Jones said Tuesday.

Jones and Cormier will meet in the main event of UFC 200 on July 9 in Las Vegas, continuing their lengthy rivalry.

Jones is hoping to reclaim the 205-pound belt that was stripped from him last year after his involvement in a hitand-run accident.

wagon racing weather and track conditions were outstanding, and it was an entertaining evening for racing fans.

Colt Cosgrave opened up the 2016 Ponoka Stampede with the fast time of the night with a 1:14.88. Coming off barrel number 2 in the 7th heat, Cosgrave - driving the High River Autoplex & RV outfit - placed first on the night by 34 one-hundredths of a second over former Ponoka Stampede Champion Roger Moore. Last week’s Guy Weadick Days Champion Mark Sutherland placed third, with “the Hound” Codey McCurrach and Luke Tournier rounding out the top five for the night.

The Ponoka Stampede continues today with the 1:00 pm rodeo performances and the 6:30 pm chuckwagon races.

Williams dismissed the notion of a mental stumbling block.

“I think more or less about winning Australia. I think about winning the French Open. Didn’t happen. I think about winning Wimbledon,” she said.

“I don’t necessarily think about winning ‘22.”’

Then, in what sounded like a reference to various health issues that have put her in the hospital and kept her off the tour for months — blood clots on her lungs in 2010, for example — Williams continued: “Mentally I’ve been further down than anyone can be.

Well, maybe not anyone, but I’ve been pretty low. There’s nothing … mentally too hard for me.”

Court’s Royal Box, Williams trailed 15-40 in Tuesday’s opening game, then won 13 consecutive points and grabbed a 3-0 lead. In the second set, Williams made four unforced errors in one game to get broken and fall behind 2-1.

But she broke right back.

When the players met at the net after Williams’ return winner ended the match, they embraced like old friends.

Turns out that was Sadikovic’s idea.

She was a bit awe-struck by the occasion — and rightly so.

Sadikovic quit playing tennis two years ago, because she wasn’t enjoying life on tour and had financial problems. After more than a year off, giving tennis lessons, she returned. So while Sadikovic knew she’d have a better chance to win against pretty much any other opponent, she was thrilled to play Williams.

Jones realizes his objection to McCarthy likely will have no impact, but he remains disappointed.

Jones made eight title defences in a 3 ½-year span while becoming the fighter widely considered to be the world’s best mixed martial artist. But he was stripped of his belt last year after the latest in a string of behavioural problems.

Cormier lost a clear decision to Jones in their first meeting, but claimed the vacant belt four months later by beating Anthony Johnson.

Jones (22-1) declined to be precise about the reasons for his objection to McCarthy, but left little doubt he is still bothered by the athletic commission’s choice for the third man in the cage.

Now at his seventh finals tournament, Ronaldo came closest at his first, but the Euro 2004 host lost in the final to Greece.

Women’s eight leads Canadian rowers into Olympics

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — The eight boat in rowing represents the perfect marriage between power and harmony, says Cristy Nurse. It’s the ultimate expression of teamwork.

For the past four years, Canada’s women’s eight has worked daily on finding that rhythm at their training base in London, Ont., in preparation for the Rio Olympics.

Canada won’t have a men’s boat in rowing’s marquee event in Rio, but the women won silver four years ago in London, and headlined the 26-member Canadian Olympic rowing team announced Monday.

“As you know, the special thing about this boat is it’s the ultimate expression of teamwork,” said Nurse, a 29-year-old from Georgetown, Ont., and member of the women’s eight. “It takes nine minds and nine bodies working together (the ninth member is the coxswain).

“There’s a reason it’s the eight on those posters in doctors offices and classrooms, that say ‘teamwork,’ it’s really the embodiment of that. And I think that’s what this crew is capable of when we get it right.”

The Canadian team features 10 returning Olympians, including six who won medals in London. Lesley Thompson-Willie, the coxswain of the women’s eight, will compete in her eighth Olympic Games, tying the all-time women’s record for any sport.

“We’ve got incredibly strong athletic girls (in the eight), and going into Rio, it’s just going to be about refining and sharpening, so that every stroke is just moving that boat together,” Nurse said. “In this boat class it’s about just gliding through the water, we want to take inches from our competition as we move, and sharpening our skills as we go forward. And the bigger the boat, the minds have to come together, and that’s our challenge going forward.”

Canada has a tradition of excellence in rowing, capturing 40 medals in Olympic history, ninth best in the world. The Canadian team took home two medals from London — silver in the men’s and women’s eights.

Rowing athletes (left to right) Pascal Lussier, Julien Bahain, Rob Gibson, Nicole Hare, Jennifer Martins and Matthew Buie sign their names on a Canadian flag at Casa Loma in Toronto on Tuesday. The Canadian Olympic Committee (COC) and Rowing Canada Aviron (RCA) named the 26 athletes nominated to represent Team Canada in rowing at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.

But post-London, Rowing Canada killed the men’s eight program, hoping to spread the resources over a number of smaller boats.

Canada qualified six boats for Rio last September at the world championships, and the men’s quadruple sculls — Julien Bahain, Will Dean, Rob Gibson, and Pascal Lussier — clinched a spot as the seventh and final boat at the final Olympic qualifying regatta in May. Lussier, a 24-year-old from Saint Jean-sur-Richelieu, Que., says he’s the “new kid on the block,” among three Olympic veterans.

“Those three guys behind me have

40 years of experience, and I’ve only been rowing for four years, so to have those guys behind me to help me every day, to go to practice and just be professional, be a better athlete every day, they’ve done a good job of that,” Lussier said.

“Just going through the qualifier, my goal was to have a solid race, don’t think about anything else… execute under pressure, I really learned from that, from putting everything on the line.”

Marnie McBean, a three-time Olympic gold medallist for Canada, announced the 26-member team at a morning news conference at Casa Lo-

ma, in midtown Toronto. The 48-yearold talked about athletes who rise to the Olympic occasion.

“There’s an element of desperation that comes through, there’s an element of hunger that comes through,” she told the rowers. “So my best wishes for all of you will be that you have the hunger in you, and that you’re the team that’s ready to rise up, you’re the ones who are going to rise up and become the legends of the next quadrennial.”

The rowing competition will take place at Lagoa Stadium, Aug. 6-14, with eight men’s events and six women’s events.

NFL coach and defensive master Buddy Ryan dies at 85

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Buddy Ryan took a back seat to no one. Neither did his fierce defences that won two Super Bowls.

The pugnacious coach and defensive mastermind whose twin sons have been successful NFL coaches, died Tuesday. He was 85.

His death was confirmed by the Buffalo Bills, where Rex Ryan is the head coach and Rob Ryan an assistant.

James Solano, Buddy Ryan’s agent, said he died in Kentucky but did not give a cause. Ryan lived on a ranch in Shelbyville.

“He was many things to many people —outstanding coach, mentor, fierce competitor, father figure, faithful friend and the list goes on,” Rex Ryan said in a statement. “But to me and my brothers Rob and Jim, he was so much more. He was everything you want in a dad —tough when he had to be, compassionate when you didn’t necessarily expect it, and a loving teacher and confidant who cherished his family. He truly was our hero.”

Ryan was a linebackers coach for the 1968 champion New York Jets and co-ordinated the ground-breaking 46 defence for the title-winning 1985 Chi-

He was a head coach for the Philadelphia Eagles from 1986-90 and for the Arizona Cardinals in 1994-95, compiling a 55-55-1 overall record.

“Buddy Ryan was arguably one of the greatest defensive masterminds in NFL history and forever left his mark

on the Eagles organization and the city of Philadelphia,” Eagles chairman Jeffrey Lurie said.

A few years ago, Ryan attended a Cowboys-Jets game, travelling to New Jersey despite cancer to see then-Jets head coach Rex go against then-Dallas defensive co-ordinator Rob. “Buddy Ryan was the architect of the greatest defence our league has seen,” Bears chairman George H. McCaskey said. “He was brilliant when it came to the X’s and O’s of the game, but what made him special was his ability to create an unwavering confidence in the players he coached.”

Rams coach Jeff Fisher played for and got his coaching start under Ryan.

“His knowledge, passion for football and the love he had for his players and coaches are traits that have shaped and influenced so many careers, including my own,” Fisher said James David Ryan was a Korean War veteran who went to Oklahoma State, then earned a master’s degree from Middle Tennessee State even while coaching. He got his first major job in the pros in New York, then of the AFL, in 1968. Ryan was the linebackers coach for the Joe Namath-led Jets, a boastful, confident team that fit his personality.

Those Jets led the AFL in defence in his first season on staff, then shocked the Colts in the Super Bow. “That’s something my dad was very proud of,” Rex Ryan said. “When (former Jets coach Weeb) Ewbank hired him, he had to make a difference. If he felt he wasn’t making a difference, then his career as a professional coach would be short.”

Instead, it was very long.

Ryan’s first job as a defensive co-ordinator came in 1976 with the Vikings under Bud Grant, like Ewbank a Hall of Fame coach. He spent two years there, with the 1976 team losing to Oakland in the Super Bowl. He then moved to the rival Bears, where he concocted the 46 defence that overwhelmed the league with its aggressiveness and unpredictability.

Ryan’s defenders, featuring such Hall of Famers as linebacker Mike Singletary and ends Dan Hampton and Richard Dent, came from all angles and was nearly impossible to budge on the ground. Not that teams had more success in the air, either.

“Some say the 46 is just an eightman front,” said Ryan, who named the scheme after safety Doug Plank, who wore that number. “That’s like saying Marilyn Monroe is just a girl.”

Hospital adds sweat lodge

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Canada’s largest mental health and addiction teaching hospital has added a unique service for its aboriginal clients — a sweat lodge to help promote spiritual, physical and emotional healing.

The Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) in Toronto unveiled the sweat lodge on a tucked-away section of its sprawling campus, fulfilling a goal set years ago to augment its services for indigenous clients by adding the ceremonial structure.

“Having the sweat lodge on-site at CAMH is going to allow us to offer indigenous healing ceremonies as part of the treatment plans,” Renee Linklater, director of aboriginal engagement and outreach, said in an interview prior to Thursday’s official opening.

“This is going to be really important in our efforts to address what is appropriate aboriginal client care.”

The round sweat lodge — 1.5 metres high and four metres in diameter — is constructed from 35 maple and poplar sapling poles, gathered from the Six Nations of the Grand River community. Heavy tarp overlays the frame, with an opening facing a fire pit, where stones for the purification ceremony are heated. Inside, a second pit has been dug to receive those stones, which will be washed with traditional medicines and the “sacred water” that will turn into a cleansing steam. Participants sit encircling the pit inside the lodge and engage in prayer, songs and other rituals of healing with the help of a ceremonial “conductor.” The process lasts about two hours.

Diane Longboat, an elder with CAMH’s aboriginal services, said clients with mental health and/or addiction issues go through a number of individual healing ceremonies before being considered ready for the rituals of the sweat lodge.

Taking part in the cleansing ceremony is meant to cast out negative thoughts and feelings, and to help heal “the wounds in their lives,” said Longboat, a Mohawk from the Six Nations of the Grand River territory in southwestern Ontario.

The stones are called “grandmothers and grandfathers,” terms reflective of aboriginal Canadians’ great reverence for their ancestors.

“When sacred water is placed on them and steam occurs, that’s a release of the spirit inside those rocks we call the eggs of Mother Earth,” explained Longboat. “Not only is it a physical detoxification of your body, but it’s an emotional shift within you.

“It is sometimes a miraculous adventure when you go in because there are profound and everlasting healings that occur inside the sweat lodge. And

The new facilities are to be used in the healing process for aboriginal clients with mental health and addiction issues. people will look back on life and say: ‘This was a spiritual milestone for me. It was an emotional, mental and physical milestone.”’

Ed Bennett, an Inuk born in Happy Valley, N.L., who ended up homeless in Toronto, was a client at CAMH about five years ago and was enrolled in its 21-day in-house program to deal with psychological issues and substance abuse. The program helped Bennett learn to express suppressed feelings, to deal with family-related trauma and to accept his identity as a “two-spirit man and a gay man.”

He was able to take part in sweat lodge ceremonies through the Native Men’s Residence, a shelter program in Toronto.

“It allows me to cleanse myself, especially of those negative thoughts that keep coming back to me from time to time,” said the 56-year-old. “So the sweat lodge ceremony allows me to release those.

Multiples and Sleep: Tips for parents of twins and triplets REGAN FORSYTH EAT PLAY SLEEP Getting adequate sleep with a newborn in the house (and helping the baby sleep) is a challenge for any parent, but if you are the mother or father of more than one baby, this can be especially difficult to achieve. Additionally, I tip my hat to you! I know first hand just how tricky it can be to have routine or rest in a houseful of babies the same age. Though my nieces are now 18 years old, I remember all too well the brick walls my sister and brother-in-law came up against!

Yes, you CAN get them resting well, and get some sleep yourself, I promise. It is not easy, but it is so very worth it!

Believe it or not, I actually find that twins tend to end up being my best “clients”, because right from the get-go, they have to deal with being a wee bit more patient, and more noise (including sleeping through their twin’s grunts and groans) than their singleton friends.

When I work with families of multiples, I certainly cater my support and sleep coaching to the individual baby, but many parents are surprised to learn that part of my recommendations don’t greatly differ from those that my other families with only now baby, receive.

In saying that though, there are indeed some differences, so here you will find five of my top ten tips for everyone in a home of multiple babies or toddlers, to get some rest! In the next upcoming column, I will outline the remainder of these helpful hints.

One: Many twins and triplets are born premature.

Make sure to use their adjusted age when looking at guidelines, sleep habits, and sleep coaching or training.

While most experts will tell you that 38 weeks is considered “full term” for multiples, when looking at things like routine, feeding, awake times, amount of sleep that is optimal, and so on, it’s best to work with the corrected age. For example, if I am working with twins born at 37 weeks, and they are five months old, I would create a plan geared toward considering them as just over four months. This is important because careful consideration of ages and stages, and what is age appropriate developmentally, is a crucial part of the coaching process. For parents working on sleep hygiene who are not using a coach, it is equally as important. Do keep in mind though, that every baby is different and you should consider your child’s disposition and how you feel about their

readiness to make change or implement routine.

Two: Put your babies to sleep in the same place every night.

Whether your babies have a room of their own or share a room with parents or siblings, it’s important that you put them to sleep in the same place every night (and for naps during the day as much as possible.) Putting your children to bed in a familiar place lets them know they are safe and that they are in a place where sleep is to happen.

Three: Routine!

Consistency and predictability are really important to babies and toddlers. When they know what to expect at bedtime, it makes it *much* easier for them to make the transition from waking to sleeping.

For multiples, this is even more important, if the rest of the family wishes to eat, sleep, shower, or have a break. It’s not easy, especially in the early months, but you will come to be very very happy that you have them on the same sleeping and eating schedules, and they will adapt.

You can absolutely feed them at the same time - yes, really! If you are nursing you can nurse them both at once (providing you have patience and creativity) or you can store breast milk to bottle feed one while you nurse the other. If you formula feed, just get creative (perhaps sit on the couch with one on either side of you) and life will be much easier.

Once they are older (beginning between 4 and 6 months) and are capable of sleeping through on their own), then you would feed only the baby that has awoken, as they might have different sleep needs.

By then, you will feel a little more rested (hopefully!) and be able to get up at different times if need be.

Four: Do your absolute best to teach them to fall asleep independently.

Again, this is challenging for all parents, but moreso with twins and triplets, because if they are fussing a great deal, they may be waking each other up. However, it is definitely not impossible and 98% of the families I work with, are successful in doing this. It would be too lengthy to explain the steps to achieving this, here, but feel free to check out the blog at eatplaysleep.ca for my recommendations on how to do so!

Five: Have reasonable and age appropriate expectations for them AND for yourselves.

This is crucial to your own sanity, as parents!

When you fist give birth, your body stays in survival mode for several weeks, to ensure you have the energy to help another human make it through. So, that is the best time to try to establish your comfort zone with regard to your goals for the babies and their sleep.

Stay tuned for the remainder of my top ten twin tips, in the next column! Live Well! info@eatplaysleep.ca

“I’m really looking forward to my first sweat lodge ceremony at CAMH and to continue to use this important ceremony in my healing journey.”

Linklater, an Anishinaabe from Rainy River First Nations in northwestern Ontario, said she believes Canadian society has become much more aware of the historical scars borne by First Nations, Metis and Inuit as a result of colonization, forced relocations of entire communities, the impact of residential schools and the mass apprehensions of aboriginal children in what’s known as the ’60s Scoop.

“We know that this trauma does not resolve on its own, but rather intensifies and then becomes extended to the children and grandchildren,” she said.

“And that’s why we feel that it’s really important that health services understand the impacts of multi-generational trauma and begin to offer services that are actually relevant and appropriate.”

Weight-loss guru Dr. Stanley Bernstein takes ‘steering’ ruling to court

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — One of Canada’s major players in the weight-loss industry heads to court Wednesday in an effort to stop regulators from considering a complaint against him.

At issue is a “steering” complaint against Dr. Stanley Bernstein — essentially that he draws people in, then passes them on to doctors in his clinics.

In July 2013, a committee of Ontario’s College of Physicians and Surgeons found Bernstein had violated advertising rules by making numerous unsubstantiated claims. The inquiries, complaints and reports committee ruled the breach warranted a formal caution.

However, the committee declined to rule on the steering complaint by Toronto lawyer Peter Rosenthal, saying there was no precedent by which to come to a judgment.

Bernstein protested the advertising finding to the health professions appeal and review board, while Rosenthal appealed the steering complaint decision.

The appeal and review board upheld the advertising ruling — which Bernstein failed to have the courts overturn — but ordered the committee to consider the steering complaint.

Bernstein is now asking Divisional Court to block the steering order review.

“The board’s decision to remit the steering issue back to the (committee) was unreasonable,” Bernstein says in his factum. “The (committee) was clearly of the view that…it was incapable of resolving the issue.”

The appeal board, Bernstein argues, should have deferred to the committee’s decision.

For his part, Rosenthal argues the appeal board was right to send the matter back to the committee.

He maintains Bernstein’s operation is underpinned by steering, a breach even more important than the advertising problems, he says.

The committee, the Toronto lawyer says, was wrong to wash its hands of the steering issue and the appeal board was right to send it back.

“Using the lack of previous interpretations of a regulation as a basis for declining to consider its applicability to a specific complaint has the effect of nullifying the regulation,” Rosenthal says. “There must be a first case if there are to be any at all.”

Bernstein, who is known for his weight-loss regimen called the “Dr. Bernstein Diet,” set up 62 clinics across the country. He has previously argued the board’s decision would have a “devastating impact” on his business.

k.d. lang reflects on her career and coming out

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

File photo by THE CANADIAN PRESS

k.d. lang is seen in this undated handout photo.

Her rise would instantly expose her to a different world where casual encounters with Naomi Campbell and dinners with Gianni Versace were commonplace.

“I didn’t think anything of it,” she says. “When I look back at it I think, wow, it seems so far-fetched.”

But underneath the glamour of the time, the HIV/ AIDS crisis was tearing through the arts scene. Party conversations often shifted to friends who fell victim to the disease.

When radical activist group Queer Nation began publicly outing celebrities in the early 1990s, a panic swept through the entertainment industry.

Even though lang told her family at 17 she was a lesbian, she says coming out publicly “felt like it was the most responsible thing for society and myself.”

Sitting down with LGBTQ magazine the Advocate for their June 1992 issue, she addressed the question she knew they’d ask — and it pushed her even further into the global spotlight.

Magic in North America describes a secret wizarding school located at the peak of Mount Greylock in the Berkshires. The story was published Tuesday on Rowling’s Pottermore site.

The tale, Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, provides the backstory for the North American school of magic, founded in the 17th century.

An orphaned Irish girl sails across the ocean on the Mayflower to Massachusetts, where the school is established.

The story is a tie-in to the upcoming film Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, scheduled for release Nov. 18. The film is an adaptation of Rowling’s book by the same name and is the author’s screenwriting debut.

BOSTON — J.K. Rowling’s latest tale of wizardry is set atop the mountains in Massachusetts.

The second installment in a collection called

TORONTO — Make way, Liberal cabinet: Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will have another all-Canadian crew in his corner as he suits up for his latest feature role — comic book character.

Trudeau will grace the variant cover of issue No. 5 of Marvel’s Civil War II: Choosing Sides, due out Aug. 31.

Trudeau is depicted smiling, sitting relaxed in the boxing ring sporting a Maple Leaf-emblazoned tank, black shorts and red boxing gloves. Standing behind him are Puck, Sasquatch and Aurora, who are members of Canadian superhero squad Alpha Flight. In the left corner, Iron Man is seen with his arms crossed.

“I didn’t want to do a stuffy cover — just like a suit and tie — put his likeness on the cover Photo by THE CANADIAN PRESS and call it a day,” The variant cover of the said award-winning comic ‘Civil War II: Choosing Toronto-based cartoonist Ramon Pe- Sides’ #5, featuring Prime Minister Justin Trudeau rez.

“I wanted to kind surrounded by the members of evoke a little bit of Alpha Flight. of what’s different about him than other people in power right now. You don’t see (U.S. President Barack) Obama strutting around in boxing gear, doing push-ups in commercials or whatnot. Just throwing him in his gear and making him almost like an everyday person was kind of fun.”

The variant cover featuring Trudeau will be an alternative to the main cover in circulation showcasing Aurora, Puck, Sasquatch and Nick Fury.

Trudeau follows in the prime ministerial footsteps of his late father, Pierre, who graced the pages of Uncanny X-Men in 1979.

Edmonton-born artist and writer Chip Zdarsky said he was approached by Marvel to write an Alpha Flight story and knew right away he wanted Trudeau included.

“I kind of figured to do a story about Canada right now and not take that opportunity to put Trudeau in seemed like a waste.

“He seems to be the popular culture association with Canada right now, right behind Drake — and I probably couldn’t get Drake in the comic.” troit at the age of 82.

Laura Rice said her husband died at their home Monday of complications from Alzheimer’s disease.

“Sir” Mack Rice was best known for writing Mustang Sally, which was popularized by Wilson Pickett.

They had been in a group together called the Falcons.

Rice became a songwriter for Memphis, Tennessee-based Stax Records and split his time between there and Detroit, where he moved as a teen from Mississippi. He wrote Respect Yourself with late R&B singer-songwriter Luther Ingram for the Staple Singers, which became Stax’s biggest hit.

Laura Rice and singer Pat Lewis, a longtime friend and collaborator, say he was humble and embodied his other nickname, “Gentleman.”

TORONTO — Sometimes k.d. lang is ready to wind up her singing career and ease into retirement, but then inspiration strikes for a new project.

That’s what happened when she dreamt up the new “Case/lang/Veirs” album about three years ago.

Envisioned as a collaboration with folk artists Neko Case and Laura Veirs, lang tapped out an email to her friends and suggested the trio get together to record some cover songs.

Within half an hour of sending the message, both other singers were on board with the idea.

“It was really easy,” lang says of making the pitch. “(But) we decided instead of a cover record, we felt it was an absolute necessity to write it. That’s when the real work started.”

Veirs and lang committed to working together in person, since they both lived in Portland, while Case joined them mostly to provide vocals.

“We sang it in the same room, we wrote it in the same room,” lang, 54, says. “So old-fashioned.”

Tradition is something lang became accustomed to while growing up in Consort, where her family’s home was rich with music. Her siblings were all trained classical pianists and she fondly remembers her mother playing Peter and the Wolf and the Sound of Music before bedtime.

In her waking hours, lang spent time flipping through her older sister’s vinyl collection.

“A 12-inch album cover was like a portal into a world,” she says. “You could stare at that thing for an hour and just go off on a journey.”

Her teenage years were filled with music from genre pioneers like the Flying Burrito Brothers and Delaney & Bonnie who bridged the gap between rock and country.

A gift of Patsy Cline albums on her 21st birthday gave lang the final push to explore country music further — and eventually form the Reclines, a band which started as a tribute to the American country star.

Two years later lang was picked as most promising female vocalist at the 1985 Junos on the strength of her debut A Truly Western Experience with the Reclines.

When Nashville came knocking, the singer quickly learned that U.S. record executives wanted her to wear the boots of a more mainstream country singer — less punk and more pop.

Instead of following the industry’s vision, lang decided to revisit her earlier influences.

She would win her first Grammy a few years later in 1989 for a duet of Crying with Roy Orbison, and picked up another the following year for her album Absolute Torch And Twang.

Looking for help for hoarding daughter ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: My 55-year-old daughter is a hoarder. She cannot pick up her clothes or keep them in order. She lives in two bedrooms in our mobile home and they are both a complete mess. Lately, it’s been so difficult for her to get into her rooms that she has started sleeping on the couch. She picks clothes off of the floor to wear.

(She’s been doing that her entire life.)

In the past, I have cleaned up her room, but it isn’t long before it’s a complete mess again. Right now, it’s overwhelming. Please help. — Mom of a Hoarder Dear Mom: Why does your 55-yearold daughter live with you? Does she not have a job? Is there a history of mental illness that makes her incapable of living on her own?

Hoarding is a serious problem, especially when it means your daughter can no longer enter her rooms because the clutter is piled so high. Please contact the International OCD Foundation (iocdf.org) for information on hoarding and perhaps some referrals for therapists who may be able to help.

Dear Annie: I am tired of women using menopause as an excuse not to be intimate with their husbands. Marrying someone includes a commitment, and sex is part of that commitment. I don’t understand women who think they can just say, “We’re not going to have sex anymore.”

I am a 63-year-old woman and a breast cancer survivor. Yes, intercourse can be extremely painful, but why does everyone think that sex has to be intercourse? There are other ways to satisfy your partner that don’t

JOANNE MADELINE MOORE HOROSCOPES Wednesday, June 29 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DATE: Rubens, Gary Busey, 72; Katherine Jenkins 26; Amanda Donahue, 55 THOUGHT OF THE DAY: The stars boost communication and mental creativity.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY: You are lively and fun-loving, but have a tendency to procrastinate.

The next 12 months is the time to share with others, as you contribute your talents to local community groups and projects.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The stars activate your communication zone. So it’s a wonderful time to socialize with family members, friends and neighbours as you participate in some lively and stimulating conversations.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You’ve got a good business brain and money matters are on your mind today Taurus. So it’s time to talk about finances with a cash-savvy friend, or read up on how to manage your resources more wisely.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Smart communication is the secret to a satisfying day.

You’ll find the more you network and mingle with influential people, the more tips you’ll pick up and the more successful you’ll be.

involve anything painful. I am sure most of these sex-starved men would be deliriously happy with the alternatives.

If you love someone, you work on it.

Instead, these women decide they’re no longer interested, so their husbands shouldn’t be interested, either.

And then we wonder why men stray.

We vilify men for wanting something that’s a natural function of being human. I don’t believe women should kowtow to men. I simply think that in a marriage, love should trump excuses for putting yourself first. — Austin, Texas Dear Austin: We agree — although some of our female readers will not.

But we’ve said it many times. Marriage is a partnership. You cannot make a unilateral decision that affects the other partner negatively and not expect repercussions.

According to our mail, most of the men who are unhappy with their sex lives aren’t looking to stray. They love their wives and want to show that love in a physical way. And they want their wives to love them enough to be physical, as well.

This is how they demonstrate their affection.

Intimacy is not all about sex, and sex is not all about intercourse. It is important to make the effort, whatever the result, and be willing to discuss what can be done to make both partners reasonably happy.

This usually requires compromise, something that seems to be in short supply these days.

Strive to get the ratio right between being on top of things at work, while still having time to reflect and recharge your batteries.

Balance is the key.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Channelling your fiery energy into professional projects brings benefits today. But don’t upset others by being too bossy or unpredictable. Do your best to be a charming and cooperative Cat. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’re in the mood to converse with friends and colleagues about a wide range of topics.

If you can keep your tendency to criticize others under control, then you’ll have a delightful day.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Relationships are acting as a mirror. If you feel tense and misunderstood today Libra, then that’s what you’ll get back from loved ones.

So search within to find the answers you are looking for.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The pace of life picks up, as you juggle a wide range of eclectic activities. But you’re more accident prone than usual so pace yourself — especially when walking through traffic and driving.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Most communication problems arise from a lack of meaningful connection. Today, Mercury encourages you to talk through issues with a loved one. Then you’ll see things from their perspective.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): With the Sun and Venus both visiting your relationship zone, it’s time to swallow your pride and meet

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The stars boost your intuition and your creativity today.

So it’s a terrific time to connect with the creative muse within plus tune into the thoughts and feelings of others, both in person and online.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your creativity and intuition are firing today Fish. If your inner voice tells you something — or someone — isn’t the real deal, then make sure you act on that important information.
